Supreme Court Justice Thomas to visit campus
By Clay McCuistion
By Clay McCusition writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer
University of Kansas law students will hobnob with a judge from the highest court in the land next semester.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will visit the University's campus for two to three days in April. During his visit, he will visit classes in the law school, help judge a "moot trial" put on by students and perhaps drop by some undergraduate courses.
Stephen McAllister, associate dean of the law school, asked Thomas to visit the University. McAllister worked as a clerk for Thomas during the justice's first few months on the Supreme Court.
"He's a wonderful person, very engaging sense of humor, warm personality," McAllister said.
"The only real difference this time is that he's not going to give a speech," McAllister said. "He prefers being in the classes with the students, actually."
Thomas visited the University once before, in spring 1966, also at the urging of McCallier. He lectured at the Lied Center about the judges' roles in the legal system and toured law classes.
Thomas will be a judge of a "moot court" — so called because it's not real — where law students will argue cases before him. The justice also will interact with students in a variety of law and pre-law courses.
"It's something I'm not sure several of the other justices would do," McAllister said.
Burdett Loomis, interim director of the Dole Institute and political science professor, said it was valuable for students to meet a national figure such as Thomas.
"Somebody may see him

and think of going to law school, you never know what hits," he said. "It's always interesting to talk to someone in person."
The exact dates of Thomas' visit aren't set yet, but McAllister said the justice was planning on April 10-12.
The law school will pay for Thomas' travel and lodging in Lawrence.
Thomas was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1991 by George Bush and is the second African American to serve on the court. At 51 years old, he's the youngest of the nine justices.
Thomas replaced Thurgood Marshall on the Supreme Court. Marshall was the first African American to serve on the court and was noted for his liberal politics.
Thomas approaches his job differently, said law professor Richard Levy.
Thomas generally has sided in court decisions with fellow conservative Antonin Scalia and occasionally with Chief Justice William Rehquist. After eight years in the court, his contribution to the group is still cloudy.
"He's usually regarded as falling into the more conservative wing of the court's justices," he said.
"That's still a pretty open ended question," Levy said.

Crossing the line between

Couples attempting to find a gray area encounter racism from peers, family
eather Budig doesn't dare tell her parents about the Black men she's dated.
The white sophomore from a small Kansas town first went out with an African American in high school, inviting him to her house when her parents weren't home, asking him to page her, rather than call her at the house, and meeting him at places her parents and their friends never would go.
As Budig faced racist comments and jokes at home, she knew better than to tell her mother and father that their daughter was crossing the line that still separates Black from White.
"I knew how my parents felt, and I didn't want to deal with it," Budig said. "I didn't want to deal with the confrontation and anger."
Even in Lawrence. love is not colorblind.
Segregation that was supposed to have died in the 1960s is far from forgotten, interracial couples at the University of Kansas say. The new racism may come in the form of stares and condescending comments. Close family and friends may reject them.
Interracial couples are forced to face the fact that race does matter.
"They're going to get blind-sided like getting hit by a truck in the street," said Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare and sex therapist, about interracial dating. "Although they may think color doesn't make any difference, everyone else does."
Although many cultures disapprove of interracial dating, society's disapproval of Black-White relationships is most intense, Dailey said. Every couple, despite race, religion or sexual preferences, will have difficulties. But those couples face a racism with deep roots in this country.
These relationships can and do survive, sai Dailey, who has counseled such couples in his sex therapy practice. But a couple entering into one will face stresses other couples wouldn't dream of.
"They'll be taunted, teased; their garages might be firebombed; a cross may be burned in their front lawn; their children may be teased and threatened; they may live in a neighborhood where only one neighbor will speak to them." Dailey说. "What I've described are real lives."

The Merc defends its changes
Some say the cooperative isn't being loyal to its base
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
But recent changes at the Merc, as the natural foods cooperative is known, have made her wonder whether the Merc is being loyal to her and the rest of its customer base. It has added an ATM and more brand-name products.
As it celebrated its 25th anniversary in October, Green said she wondered if its recent push to move more into the mainstream food market was a sign that it had forgotten the principles on which it was founded.
Kori Green, Great Bend senior, has been a loyal shopper at the Community Mercantile Co-op, 901 Mississippi St., since her arrival at the University of Kansas in 1998.
"To a certain degree, you have to remain loyal to your roots," Green said. "And I don't think they're doing that."
But Nancy O'Connor, nutrition educator and marketing director for the Merc, maintained that the Merc had not changed its mission
"The basic principles behind its inception are as strong as ever," she said. "That includes a commitment to the community and commitment to education."
Rather, she said, it was responding to a market that is increasingly competitive and increasingly dominated by corporations.
"A lot has changed in the last 10 to 15 years," she said. "It used to be that we were the only kids on the block. But now there's been the growth of corporate natural food stores and the entry of grocery stores into the market. We have to become a little more business savvy."
Since then, the Merc has doubled sales, which includes drawing a larger number of KU students, and anticipates revenues of $4 million this year, she said. But that's not enough, O'Connor said, because the Merc still faces a heavy debt left from when it moved into its present location in 1983. O'Connor said that she did not know how large the debt was but that further growth would be necessary to ensure the Merc's financial stability.
The Merc barely survived a fight with Wild Oats Market — a national chain — a few years ago, O'Connor said. Wild Oats eventually closed shop — not before the Merc had to lay off some employees and cut the salaries of the rest.
"We learned an awful lot," O'Connor said. "We can't be complacent."
"As far as I can tell, the main focus is still on wholesome food," said Jonathan Thompson, a Lawrence resident who has shipped there nearly every day for six years. "In but to order to survive financially, they have to be flexible. And they have been."
One customer said he recognized that.

Habitat for Humanity rewarded students and community members who worked 40 hours or more on the house with awards.
Helimovics said she had fun watching the greek community work on the project and getting to know the Presswoods.
"It makes it a lot more real for everybody," she said. "It's been wonderful."

were accompanied by their parents and
arraigned separately before Cuyahoga
County Juvenile Court Magistrate Dick

Clinton: Poid his respects to the late Sen. John H. Chafee
Chafee, one of the last Republican moderates in the Senate, died of congestive heart failure last Sunday at age 77. A horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by six Marine pallboarers, carried Chafee's body from the
Rhode Island State House to Grace Episcopal Church.
The funeral drew 51 of Chafee's Senate colleagues, along with 14 former senators, the president and Hillary Rodham Clinton, three members of Clinton's Cabinet and many state officials.
It was one of the biggest turnouts of national figures for the funeral of a U.S. senator.
Colorado governor says no to meeting Ramseys
BOULDER, Colo. — Gov. Bill Owens turned down offers by the parents of JonBenet Ramsey to meet while he was considering a special prosecutor in the girl's death because he was concerned about a prime suspect influencing the investigation.
Owens said it would have been wrong to meet with the Ramseys because John Ramsey would have wanted a hand in deciding whether a prosecutor should be named, and if so, who should be appointed.
A Boulder County grand jury earlier this month ended its 13-month investigation of the case without an indictment. Owens met with prosecutors and Boulder police before deciding last week not to appoint a special prosecutor.
"Mr. Ramsey is considered to be a prime suspect," Owens said Friday. "It would be very inappropriate to meet with him."
Man dies in Halloween house party shooting
MUNCIE,Ind.—A group of men who were turned away from a Halloween party early yesterday opened fire on the small house, killing one man and wounding five others.
About 100 people had packed into the home after a Ball State University fraternity party. About 4:30 a.m., a car pulled into an alley behind the house and began firing into the home, said Marlon Glass. 31, who was at the party.
The house, in a student neighborhood near campus, was riddled with bullet holes. Police and witnesses said at least two people had fired as many as 40 rounds.
Julian Brown, 28, a former Ball State student from Gary, Ind., was found dead in the kitchen, Muncie police Chief Joe Hinkle said.
Two people were in fair condition yesterday at Ball Memorial Hospital, and two were treated and released, a hospital representative said. The fifth person injured wasn't hospitalized.
The shooters' identities still hadn't been determined yesterday afternoon, Hinkle said.

Portrayal of gay Jesus offends Muslim group
LONDON — Muslim extremists have called for the death of playwright Terrence McNally because of a play now running in London that portrays Jesus Christ as a homosexual.
AlMuhajirou, a London-based Islamic fundamentalist group, distributed filers on Saturday quoting the Prophet Mohammed as saying: "Whoever insults a messenger of God must be killed." Muslims have joined Roman Catholics in protest outside the Pleasance Theatre, where McNally's "Corpus Christi" is playing.
Muslim protests have been led by Omar Bakri Mohammed, leader of Al-Muajhairion, which has connections to Saudi militant Osama bin Laden.
Bin Laden is wanted as the alleged mastermind of the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
However, he told his followers that the sentence should not be carried out by individuals, but that McNally could face arrest and trial if he entered a Muslim country.
Sheikh Mohammed, speaking as a judge of a court of shari'ah, or Muslim law, said that McNally deserved a death sentence.
"This should only happen on their own soil. We do not believe in political assassination, but obviously he would face capital punishment." Sheikh Mohammed said.

Internet job quiz helps in job search
TRUE OR FALSE
Q: You always should avoid paying an employment agency in order to get the best job leads.
A: TRUE. Legitimate employment agencies make their commissions from the employers, not the job-seekers. While there are some companies that charge job-seekers for this service, you should avoid these at all costs and find other avenues for employment. Many industries and professions have recruitment agencies — or headhunters — so you should seek out the best. Also be aware that some of these are regional, national and even international.
Q: Your resume should be no longer than one page in length.
A: TRUE. Most experts agree that if you have fewer than 10 years of experience, your resume should be one page in length. Of course, there are exceptions, but make sure you have a legitimate reason to have a resume that is longer than one page — and that you're not just being verbose. Please note: while the same principle applies to other resume formats (scannable and Web-based), the rule of one page is not as strictly enforced.
Q: A basic knowledge of a company and the industry it operates is not crucial when job-hunting.
A: FALSE. Having little or no knowledge about the company or the industry it operates in sets off a warning bell for many recruiters who perceive this lack of information as disinterest — or worse — laziness on your part.

Although summer is still seven months away, many students already have begun the nervewracking interviewing process for internships.
For students, interviewing and planning for the future can be a very stressful time. But with the help of an online job skills quiz, students can be prepared before and after an interview with the company of their dreams.
"I think any additional information would be helpful for interviews," said E.J. Reedy, Topeka junior. "I think it's common to get nervous before interviews, and this could make you more comfortable."
Quintessential Careers (www.quintcareers.com), one of many career-related Web sites, features a job-hunting resources guide, including a job quiz.
Randall Hansen, associate professor of marketing at Stetson University in Deland, Fla., created the free site in 1996 to help college students succeed in the job market.
"I realized all students I talked to had no clear idea or correct expectations of jobs," he said. "I started the Web site with the sole purpose of helping college students find internships and college graduates find jobs."
Hansen said the number of hits on the Web site had grown this
year partly because 300 universities, including the University of Kansas, had linked Quintessential Careers to their home pages. He said the Web site had about 2,000 unduplicated hits per day.
"I think it's been very useful for many students," he said. "I've received an average of five to six emails a month from students who said that the Web site was useful."
The job quiz (www.quintcareers.com/job_quiz.html) features 15 questions followed by answers to help maximize results for students.
Hansen said the answers came from feedback from recruiters, employers, journals, job hunters and students' experiences.
The quiz contains general questions about job-hunting as well as specific questions about cover letters, resumes and interviewing," he said.
While some of the questions seem to have obvious answers (what you wear and how you look has an impact on job interviews), others are more complex.
True or false question 3 said: "The best way to find a job is looking through want ads and job postings." The answer may surprise a few.
Hansen said that only 5 percent of jobs were found through classified ads and that students should polish their networking skills for optimal job success.
"Almost half found a new job from referrals from friends or relatives," he said. "You need to build and nurture your network of friends, associates and contacts and use their network to even greatly expand your network."
True or false question 13 said: "It is extremely important to prepare for interviews by preparing questions to ask as well as preparing answers to questions you may be asked."
"Recruiters generally agree that one of the worst things you can do in an interview is not ask questions," Hansen said. "By not asking questions, you give the impression that you are not really interested in the company or the job. Try to develop questions that show you have done research and have knowledge of the firm."
One KU student said she thought the Web site's information would be a helpful tool for interviews.
"People are always looking for examples to better their interviewing skills," said Kelvie Crabb, Copeland senior.
While the Web site does bring in some money for Hansen, he said he normally broke even on the project.
"As a college professor, I want my students to do well in the job market," he said. "Being a professor means I want as many students as possible to get value and use out of the Web site."

Anticipation, prices rise as Y2K approaches

Exactly two months from today, champagne bottles across the world will burst open as the year 2000 beings.
The year 2000 ball will drop in New York City. Millions will celebrate on the beaches of the Caribbean and the streets of Las Vegas. Business people will hold their breath awaiting signs of a Y2K bug.
Where will KU students be?
"I't the trip of a lifetime," he said.
"I figure if the world's going to end,
I might as well be on the beach."
Where will KU students be? Pat Lafferty, Overland Park junior, will be in Sydney Australia, the first major city to celebrate the year 2000.
Although many students don't have plans set for New Year's Eve 1999, travel agents and business owners said they shouldn't wait any longer.
"I would definitely check into it as soon as possible so you can get the best available rates," said Jamie Dultmeier, travel agent at Lawrence Travel Center, 1601 W. 23rd Street.
Lawrence agents said rates for travel already were high.
Dulmeir said hotel prices had skyrocketed for the New Year's holiday. One hotel in New Orleans is priced $150 for Dec. 25, but $300-$400 for Dec. 30 and 31.
Some hotels are also requiring an extended stay to book a room for New Year's.
The Hyatt Crown Plaza in downtown Kansas City, Mo. is only offering a two-night New Year's Eve package. The package includes dinner, parking, an open bar and more — but will cost party-goers more than $800.
Airline tickets normally go up near the holiday season and will rise again this year, said Ruth Hughes, owner of Holiday Travel, 2112 W. 25th Street. Prices recently also rose 20 percent because of fuel costs, she said.
Cruises are a popular New Year's trip, Hughes said, although their prices may increase as much as $3,000 above normal for the holiday.
Many hotels and cruises already are booked near the New Year holiday. However, there are spaces available for those who still want to travel.
"They all thought they were going to make a killing off it and that people were going to travel no matter what, but it hasn't turned out that way," Hughes said.
No matter where they are celebrating the new year, Lawrence liquor store owners said people still should plan ahead.
Joe Schmidtberger, owner of Alvin's Wine and Liquors, 901 Iowa St., said customers should stock up on champagne now.
"The indication that we're getting from the suppliers is that it's supposed to run out," he said.
The price of champagne is climbing, too, Schmidtberger said. Bottles are already $10-$11 higher than this time last year.

Holiday flights just a point, click away
Special to the Kansan
By Jessie Meyer
Reserving a spot on the next flight home for the holidays never has been easier.
Forget trying to track down a travel agent or struggling to get phone calls through to airlines' busy customer service centers. Now, organizing holiday travel plans can be as easy as logging onto the Internet.
"For the Web-savvy consumer, online purchasing is the easiest, most convenient way to purchase a ticket at the best available price," said Bill La Macchia Jr., president and CEO of Sun Country Airlines.
Airlines are expecting the number of online purchases to increase in the coming months, especially near the holiday season, he said.
"Currently, about 10 percent of our sales are through online ticketing, but we expect that to increase as more consumers turn to this convenient, easy way of purchasing," La Macchia said.
Online purchases have taken the place of stand-by tickets, said Ellen Bartz, manager and travel agent at Destinations Unlimited. She said that stand-by tickets, once the only way to purchase on short notice, no longer existed because of the ease of purchasing online just moments before boarding time.
La Macchia said Web purchasers had the advantage of seeing the lowest prices available and the ability to access that fare immediately.
To make a transaction, however, one must have a credit card, and some online shoppers worry about whether the systems are secure enough to ensure the safety and privacy of credit card numbers. La Macchia said there was little to worry about.
"Because of the security safeguards that most companies have put in place, Sun Country included, there really aren't any disadvantages to booking this way," he said.
Weaving through the somewhat tangled Web is often the hardest part of making an online purchase, but the process had been made easier with the help of search engines. Once logged onto an airline's home page or an airfare search sites, a ticket to anywhere in the world, or to mom's pumpkin pie, is just a point and a click away.
Some companies require users to register online before allowing access to available flights, but for most companies, this service is free. After entering a few biographical pieces of data, a click of the mouse brings an array of possible flights to the screen. One can select a departure and an arrival city and let the Web work its magic. The search engines do all the work by seeking out the best flight at the most affordable prices on the designated travel days.
Once the ticket has been purchased and confirmed online, there is nothing left to do but go to the airport, thanks to the e-ticket. An e-ticket is an electronic recording of the purchase, which functions like a ticket and is kept in the computer system. It can be used instead of a paper ticket and provides a completely computerized means of travel preparation.
However, there is one major drawback to online ticket purchases, Bartz said. Forget calling travel agents for help when your flight goes bust.
"They really don't have anyone to help if they have problems," Bartz said. "It sounds bad, but we're no longer willing to help people who book online."

Halloween tricks can mean trouble
Police on lookout for pumpkin pranks late-night trickery
By Katie Hollar

Kansan staff writer
Halloween partiers who preferred tricks instead of treats could face criminal charges.
Halloween activities such as pumpkin smashing and graffiti may be traditional, but they're also illegal, said Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department.
Wheeler said pumpkin stealing could be classified as theft and that other acts of vandalism would be charged as criminal damage. Both charges are misde-
Last week, the Alpha Chi Omega sorority house was festooned with stick figures from the Blair Witch Project, a pile of rocks in the yard and Lambda Chi Alpha scrawled on the windows in shaving cream. Kristen Davis, Kirkwood, Mo., sophomore, said she was disturbed by the trick and called the police.
"I had never seen the movie," she said. "It really scared me. It was really late when I got home."
"Every year we get calls about that kind of stuff." he said.
had a hard time cleaning up the joke. But she said after she watched the Blair Witch Project, she saw some humor in the prank.
Davis said sorority members
Angie Uskokovich, St. Louis senior, said she didn't think vandalism was very funny.
"I think it's disrespectful," she said. "People need to put themselves in other people's shoes."
Ian Wilbur, Northbrooke, Ill. senior, said he used to go pumpkin-smashing but he had grown out of it.
"You go out on Halloween with your friends; you go out toilet-papering and stuff." Wilbur said. "Pumpkin-smashing is a part of that — especially the people in your neighborhood that suck."
On Friday, Wheeler said police expected several vandalism calls during the Halloween weekend.

Assessing Your Personal Leadership Style
Are you motivated by a desire for excellence? Are you dominant, but not domineering? Are you self-demanding, but supportive of others? Are you
extremely competent, individualistic, self-condidant and innovative? There are no set rules or formulas for leaders to follow. "Leadership" is an elusive concept that, at times, can be vague and ambiguous. We will look at leaders who are effective and discuss their differing styles of leadership.

Class of 2000's HOPE award given to deserving recipient
Each year the senior class selects one faculty member as the recipient of the HOPE award. This year's class has given that award to Vic Contoski, professor of English. The seniors could not have chosen a more deserving person.
Vic Contoski is an inspiring teacher, both in terms of his classroom philosophy and his concern for students. He believes that the literature his classes read has a direct relationship to the lives of his students. Every student brings a different background and perspective and, therefore, a special interpretation of literature.
Contoski is interested in encountering as many different interpretations as possible. He often leaves his class with his personal point of view on a poem or piece of prose and the piece as
English professor Vic Contoski shows excellence and concern in the classroom and beyond
seen through the point of view of a student. In this sense he cultivates his students, not just through the dissemination of factual information, but by empowering their thinking and reminding them that they own an interpretation of literature which is interesting and as important as any scholar's.
His concern for students reaches beyond the classroom. In his free time, Vic Contoski volunteers as a grief counselor for students who have lost family or friends. This pursuit has
often led Contoski to console family and friends allike, not just students here at the University of Kansas.
If you are lucky, you've had a chance to hear Contoski read some of his poetry. His work covers a wide variety of topics from mail carriers to scruff homeless men and historic buildings of Kansas. You may find his poetry amusing, you may find it touching, but no matter what your impression, Contoski would welcome your perspective.
Vic Contoski is a diverse man, a humanitarian, a poet and a great teacher. He is a credit to our university, not just because of his teaching, but because of who he is. We offer our congratulations to Vic Contoski on his well-deserved award.

Time is right for Cuba policy change
The U.S. government has maintained a policy for years that helps Cuban dictator Fidel Castro hold onto power. How can this be, you might ask, with Castro's government a sworn enemy? The answer is that U.S. politicians have let their personal distaste for Castro overwhelm their ability to assess Cuba's current situation.
By keeping a nearly four-decade economic embargo on Cuba, the United States allows Castro to maintain support. The embargo, which includes food and medicine, serves as a convenient scapegoat whenever things in Cuba are particularly bad. In order to deflect attention away from his government's own failures, Castro needs only to blame the embargo — "yankee hostility" — for Cuba's economic and
The United States' posture toward Cuba hurts Cuban citizens, not Fidel Castro
social woes.
Rather than end Castro's power, which is likely only to happen when he dies, the embargo has served only to hurt the people of Cuba. Instead of leading to democracy in Cuba, it has led only to human suffering. This suffering never has reached Castro himself — at least not in any political or economic sense.
The embargo was brought into the news last week when Illinois Gov. George Ryan led a 45-member delegation of U.S. government, business
religious and university leaders to Cuba's capital, Havana. Ryan brought with him roughly $1 million worth of aid to the island and said that he disagreed with continuing the embargo.
It is no coincidence that a Midwestern governor would hold this opinion. Midwestern states, including Kansas, have lost billions of dollars in agribusiness sales because of the embargo. Cuba's climate is such that it needs to import the very products, like wheat, that grow so well in our state. Thus, the embargo has served not only to deprive the Cuban people, but Midwesterners as well.
The U.S. government should end its embargo of Cuba. It is a futtle and cruel effort that serves only the egos of a handful of political elites.

Perspective
Great-grandfather's life taught courage, love
dearest Poppycock.
Dearest Poppycook,
Today is the sixth anniversary of your funeral. If you still were alive, you would be 105. I guess you were right when you told me you didn't think you would live to see 100. I never got a chance to ask you all the questions I
wanted, but you taught me more through your actions than your words ever could.
I remember the day after you passed away. I was giving a talk on Death Be Not Proud. I broke down in the middle of it, and tey-eyed, I finished it with a quivering voice. I didn't think I knew you well enough to be affected because I only saw you two or three times a year. But I guess I was.
I am not sure what you mean. Let me re-read the image carefully.
The text is:
"Nancy Scales, PhD"
and "Associate Professor of Sociology at University of Texas at Austin."
The text is likely a profile or description of Nancy Scales's academic role and affiliation.
So, the answer to your question is:
Nancy Scales, PhD, Associate Professor of Sociology at University of Texas at Austin.

priest did not perform his responsibility to say the All Saints Day service for the school — and instead attended your service. I never knew how many people you inspired in your long life. When Father Pan, my great-uncle and your eldest son, gave the eulogy, I couldn't help but smile. He told us about the day he decided to enter the seminary. Everyone thought that you, Frank Sr., were finally going to become a priest instead of him, Frank Jr. When he tried to correct them, they wouldn't believe him — Pan wasn't priest material, but Poppycock was. Maybe that's why you were buried in the robes of a Franciscan monk.
I really wish I could've known you better, but I guess now my only chance is to get to know you through family stories. Sometimes it's hard to believe that you started working on the shipping docks in San Francisco and ran away to become a cowboy in Montana when you were 14. You worked hard your entire life until you fell off that ladder while pruning the parish's tree in your mid-90s.
I can't imagine what it would be like to work as a janitor when your son is a principal, to get
three retirement checks and to live through the 1906 earthquake, the Great Depression and the dawn of space exploration. How were you able to raise six children after great-grandma Frankie died of tuberculosis and you refused to marry? What was it like to live through so many changes?
You were always a man of few words — one who told few stories of the past because the present was more important. When I came to interview you a year before your death, you were more interested in talking about the European Union and the recent attempts at establishing the Euro than answering my questions about your childhood.
Even though I didn't know you while you were alive, I hope that I am learning. I see how you valued commitment and did not take life too seriously in the eyes of Father Pan, the oldest teen-ager and football mascot in Tucson, Ariz. I see how you valued humor and living life to the fullest in the words of my great-aunt Mary. She is the oldest woman I know, tells the dirtiest jokes I've ever heard and gives lessons on how to juggle multiple boyfriends without getting caught.
I see how you valued serving others quietly and humbly, which is reflected in the actions of my grandfather John. He is the only man I know who misses on every family holiday so that the people at the soup kitchen might have a better one.
You never knew it, Poppycock, but you are one of my heroes, along with Jack London and Mark Twain. You are someone I would happily pattern my life after. You did everything you wanted to do, without skirting your responsibilities. I hope I can learn to live life without regret like you did. I always will remember you when I look at that oil-pastel painting at my parents' house; my brother and I recognized you from the portrait that day at the County Fair. I still can't believe you never told anyone you sat for it. Wherever you are, may you always be able to enjoy your day — old sourdough, with a block of cheese and a glass of Port wine, just the way you liked it.

Why don't students have a say in what we read?
Why do students have such a small voice in what we learn at the University of Kansas? After fulfilling the high number of requirements in College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, we have little time to take electives. The content of the courses we do get to take, consequently, is of great importance.
I will graduate in May with degrees in history and English. And I will be downright embarrassed to admit all the works to which I have not been exposed. Let me on the works of ^american literature that I have missed. I've
never read Moby Dick in a class. I've never been assigned any Zora Neale Hurston, John Steinbeck, James Baldwin, Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Eliot, Edith Wharton, Wallace Stevens or William Carlos Williams — and I could go on. I've only read a few short stories of Hawthorne and Faulkner.

How can this be? My experience is like a math major never learning calculus. If an English major isn't assigned works by these

writers, who will be? And it is important that these texts be read. On one level, it is necessary to be familiar with these works to possess a basic academic literacy of our culture. In a larger sense, these works reflect our heritage, our thoughts, our experiences. They convey what it is to be an American, what it is to be human and what life is like.
What readings have I been assigned, then? I often wonder that myself. Lots of little excerpts and lots of short stories and lots of selections of things. And I feel that I have the right to say that I hate learning things in a perfunctory and superficial manner. I would rather thoroughly read four novels in a semester class than race through 200 years of American literature, reading four or five paragraphs from each author.
I also have been overexposed to certain works: Frederick Douglas's autobiography multiple times; several repeats of some Edgar Allen Poe short stories; and most amazingly (I know this is British literature but bear with me), I have been force-fed "The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale" from the Canterbury Tales in four different classes.
I used to think that this curriculum repetition/exclusion was a result of the emphasis on multiculturalism and the trend of exposing students to the literatures of historically marginalized groups in our country. But I know now that is not the case. Different races, cultures and genres, from Native-American spirituals to the dominant tradition, seem to be proportionately represented. The problem, as simple as it seems, is a lack of communication.
What is needed is continuity between different classes and different professors. Interaction between faculty members and students will alleviate this avoidable problem.
I propose that a student advisory committee be established to create a list of what students would like or think that they should read. I will send a copy of this letter to the English department. This isn't a radical idea. Just select 10 English majors, preferably ethnically and academically representative of the student body, to create a list of books.
A second suggestion is to ask students what works they would have liked to have read on teacher evaluations. The final decision of what texts will be in a class, of course, resides with individual professors. But an idea of what students are interested in will make syllabus formation easier — especially in survey courses where professors select from 100-year periods.
Students should not be as passive as we are. This is our education, our money and — most significantly — our lives. The formation of the literary canon is of the utmost importance in defining our culture and ourselves. Everyone should have a say in what they learn.

So yes, Ms. Hull, the theme is "Out of Focus," but the advisory board and Rock Chalk Revue are crystal clear. They are a 51-year tradition at KU, who do nothing but raise money and donate time to help the community.

Islam lecture series ends tomorrow
By Irina Rodriguez Special to the Kansan
People have a perception that Islam is a murder-condoning religion and they do not stop to think if it is true, said Beverly Mack, associate professor of African & African-American studies and one of the organizers of a series of lectures on Islam for the KU faculty.
The five-lecture mini-course, organized by the Office of international programs, covers a variety of topics and hopes to dispel popular misconceptions about Islam. The weekly lectures, which started on Oct. 5, are designed to encourage faculty and staff to explore and discuss issues connected with the religion. The lectures also are open to students.
"We felt the situation was really ripe for doing this, in part because we're starting to give more attention to Islamic culture on campus," said Paul D'Anteri, associate dean of international programs and associate professor of political science. "But Islam
also continues to receive shallow, unsophisticated portrayal in the Western culture. It only comes on the news when something bad happens."
Topics of the lectures are "Introduction to Islam," "Islam Gifts to the West," "Western Perspective on Islamic Family Law," "Islamic Groups in Palestine and Egypt" and "Arab Identity in Islamic Context."
The last lecture will be at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union.
Mack, who gave the introductory lecture, said people had a lot of questions about the stereotypes on Islam. One example was the interpretation of the Arabic word jihad, usually understood to mean the Holy war. She said the first definition of jihad is the struggle to achieve inner peace or God's will. By extension, it might also mean defending oneself or one's faith, which creates the misconception that it means war.
"Islam, like all religions, naturally, promotes peace," Mack said.
Mack, who lived in Northern Nigeria for three years, said she saw for herself the injustice of the stereotype about the servility of women in Islamic countries.
"I've seen women who were more independent than some women in the West," Mack said.
She said Islam was a very education-oriented religion and concerned with the fulfillment of intellectual talents. She said she saw many women working as radio and newspaper reporters, architects and in many other professions.
"It was certainly not the image of a Muslim woman I got in the West," Mack said.
She said the attitudes toward gender roles also might vary from culture to culture, depending on how pariarchal or egalitarian it is. Even within one culture, gender roles might vary depending on the generations and historical or socioeconomic situations.
Mack said the stereotype about women wearing veils, which is taken as sign of servility, was explained by the culture that values women's modest behavior.
And not all women wear it.
Ahmed Zafer, a married Saudi Arabian graduate student, said the Islamic religion told men to take good care of women.
Zafar said he has had to put up with the unfair stereotype of a Muslim terrorist since he came to the United States.
"As soon as people find out I'm a Muslim, they assume that I kill and I mistreat my wife," he said.
Lotfi Bennour, lecturer in African & African-American studies, will give the last lecture of the series, explaining the interrelation between Arabism and Islam tomorrow.
"Women wear veils or scarves to cover their beauty from the evil eye, but I don't make my wife wear a scarf. It's her choice, and she feels more comfortable wearing it," he said.
He said dispelling stereotypes about Islam was a matter of time.
"The more we talk about it, the fewer stereotypes people will have." Bennour said.

Spring break option links students, service
By Emily Hughey
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
Spring break doesn't have to be about skiing or sunbathing. There are some alternatives.
Alternative Spring Break, organized through the Center for Community Outreach, has provided community service-oriented spring break alternatives for five years.
Shelly Walston, co-coordinator of the program, said she went on her first alternative break last spring and had been hooked ever since.
"I fell in love with the program, and I fell in love with the people," said Walston, Wichita senior. "It was a really good way for me to get into community service and community development."
Through the program, students can travel to one of 14 cities based on five different sub-categories. Students can apply for the site that best corresponds with their interests: Health and Wellness, Education, Hunger and Homelessness, Conservation or Cultural Diversity.
This year, the program will offer trips to Washington, D.C. Tahlequah, Oka.; Bristol, Fla.; Houston; New Orleans; Warm Springs, Ga; Georgetown, S.C. New York City; Golden
Pond, Ky.; Alamosa, Colo.; Chicago; Nashville, Tenn.; Philadelphia; and El Paso, Texas.
The projects, which vary from site to site, may include working on a newspaper for the homeless, helping families with AIDS and living and working in a homeless shelter, a boy's home or at an American Indian reservation.
While most traditional spring break getaways to tropical or mountain paradises can cost almost $1,000, Alternative Spring Break trips cost $165. The fee covers transportation to and from the site, housing and meals.
Walston said student groups traveled to the site in 10-person vans; stayed in churches, homes or shelters; and they prepared their own meals. She said the experience was life-changing for most.
"It's so amazing to see when people come back from their trips," Walston said. "They're so charged about community service, and they come back with such fabulous experiences."
Erin Day, St. Francis sophomore, said she was applying to participate in the program this year.
"It's just something I've really wanted to do," Day said. "It's a wonderful opportunity." Although she has not yet been accepted, Day said she chose the program instead of the traditional spring break options because she'd
heard others rave about their experiences.
"Spring break is often characterized as an opportunity to go and party and get suntanned with your friends." Day said. "With Alternative Spring Break, maybe you can change someone's life. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do it."
Walston said every time she saw people return from alternative breaks with positive experiences, it reinforced the program's mission.
"We think it's really important to create life-long links between students and service," Walston said. "That's our mission."
Applications for Alternative Spring Break are available at the CCO office at 400 Kansas Union. They are due at 5 p.m. November 15.
Before going on the trip, students must enroll in HDLF 606: Special Projects in the Community. The class, which will meet weekly during the spring semester, prepares students for the social issues they will face while on their trips and gives the groups the opportunity to acquaint themselves with each other. The class may be taken for zero, one or two credit hours.
For students not interested in spending seven days on a service trip, the program will offer five to six weekend breaks throughout the spring semester.

Dinner to support organization's trip to attend protest
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Latin American Solidarity will try to turn beans and rice into dollars and cents tomorrow.
The organization is having a beans and rice dinner to raise money for a trip to Fort Bening, Ga. The purpose of the trip will be to protest the School of the Americas.
The event will start at 6 p.m. at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
School of the Americas Watch is organizing the three-day protest from Nov. 19 to 21. According to SOA watch, the school maintains that it trains Latin American leaders to subvert anti-democratic activities in their countries. Groups like SOA Watch, however, assert that the school trains assassins who utilize skills in torture and tactics that go against human rights targeting innocent people.
Jane Stoever, Overland Park senior, attended the protest with 7,000 others last year. She said she was one of 2,319 people who committed civil disobedience by trespassing onto the school's property at last year's event.
"Last year there were so many people, they weren't ready for us," she said. "We were expecting to be arrested, but they put us on a bus."
Stoever said the police drove them miles away from the protest site and handed them letters telling them not to cross the line again that day.
"The decision to cross the line is a very solemn one," she said. "They really want people to be cooperative and not yell or act out in any way."
Steve said the civil disobedience usually occurred on Sunday and was preceded by a mock funeral procession. She said caskets were carried, and people linked arms four across. As they cross the line, they say the name of someone who was killed by a graduate of the School of the Americas. She said the others yelled "presente" to demonstrate that person's memory was present and would not be forgotten.
Stoever said she was going with a group from Kansas City so that she could go with her family. She said there are 28 spots open for KU students to attend.
Matthew Koepep, Fayetteville, Ark., graduate student and vice president of Latin American Solidarity, said 25 or 26 were signed up now.
"It's just going to be a party," he said.
Aside from the dinner tomorrow, a fund raiser will take place starting at 9:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at the Coco Loco Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts St.
The group will receive the $5 per person cover price minus the rent of the building, which Koepee estimated to be about $300. He said the cost of the trin would be about $1,000.
"Each person will have to pay a little of their own money, but the rest should come from fund raising," he said.

Even in 1990s, Lawrence couples face disapproval
Continued from page 1A
lived through some of these experiences.
Pia Thielmann, a program assistant in the Department of African and African-American studies and a native of Germany who is White, has dated several African-American men. She said she had seen racism in Lawrence and on campus. Thielmann's ex-boyfriend once was cursed at on the streets of Lawrence, and they were often given bad seating in restaurants. She also witnessed racism first-hand
She also witnessed racism first-hand on a vacation in New Orleans.
"We thought maybe that would be a place where interracial couples were not such a big deal," she said. "Well, a total stranger on the street yelled at me, called me a nigger-whore."
Students involved in these relationships said they witnessed similar attitudes every day on campus.
"If you talk to Black and Hispanic and Native persons on this campus at anything other than a superficial level, they will say: 'Well, the racism isn't that obvious, but it's there, and it's very subtle. It's just cuter and it's slicker, but it's there and it hurts just as much,' " Dailey said. "A look of disapproval can be just as painful as someone yelling 'nigger.'"
The family's disapproval
Dion Jones, St. Croix senior, was the president of the Black Student Union last year and was awarded the Nelson Mandela award at the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government. He was student senator for three years and is the Iota Phi Theta fraternity president.
But when Jones began to date a KU junior who was White, her parents were far from admiring.
"They threatened to cut her allowance off, wouldn't pay for her school, told her that if she kept it up, it was going to come with consequences," he said.
He never met his now ex-girlfriend's parents,but his accomplishments and his character would not have made a difference.
"Her parents didn't care," he said. "None of that mattered. It was pretty obvious by comments her mom made. It was just a Black issue."
Jones, Budig and many other students who were involved in these kinds of relationships said family disapproval was a stress.
Disapproval is not limited to White families.
"Black parents can be just as concerned, angry, confused about their children dating outside their race as White parents can be." Dailey said. "All its bolts down to that business of how we tolerate differences."
Marques Peterson, O'Fallon, III., junior and African American, said his parents sometimes would disagree with his choice to date women who were White.
"I grew up in an all-White neighborhood so my parents kind of expected it, but they obviously wanted me to marry a Black person because they thought it'd be easier in life."
Parents, however, said they could disapprove of their children dating and marrying interracially without being racist.
Chris Clark, of Conway Springs, who is White and a father of two KU students, said that there were problems with dating a person of another race. Grandchildren, for example, would be in a confused culture that's not accepted by either race. He said that as a parent, he would be upset if his children dated someone of another race.
"I would've thought they'd known better," Clark said. "It would bother me, but I guess a man would have to learn to accept it."
Change of acceptance, not of attitudes
Many students agreed that, although laws have changed since the civil rights wars of their parents' generation, attitudes have not.
"Back in the '50s, a brother would've gotten lynched for just looking at a White woman," Dion Jones said. "Now people can't treat you like that. They can still have those same attitudes, but they just can't express it as bad as they want to."
Dailey agreed.
"If an interracial couple walks down Wescoe Beach, it is very unlikely that someone's going to yell out. 'What's the matter with you, nigger?' or 'Keep your hands off that woman, you niger.' Very unlikely," he said. "But will that be the feeling in many people's hearts? Yes ma'am."
"Racism has become more subtle," she said. "That doesn't mean it's become less. What people have in their heads is still there. It has changed, but it hasn't become better."
Thielmann said that although people often don't express their disapproval, racist attitudes still were there.
Peterson said the racist mentality was still alive in the hearts of the previous generation and breathing every day.
"Things have changed for the better, but it's still a problem because our parents grew up in that era," he said. "They grew up in the times of the past, and it's us who are growing up a product of that past."
Hope for the future
Despite the disapproval of the previous generation, times are changing, KU students said.
The number of interracial marriages has increased. In fact, the number of Black-White marriages quadrupled in the past two decades, according to a 1995 Washington Post survey.
The survey also found that two out of three people under the age of 35 said they would marry a person from another race. Only one in three older than 40 agreed.
The younger generation also is more accepting of interracial dating. A 1997 USA Today/Gallup Poll survey found that 57 percent of teens who have been on dates have dated outside of their
race. In 1980, only 17 percent had dated a person of another race.
"I think people are a lot more open-minded than they used to be," said Elizabeth Boldridge, a Lawrence sophomore and African American who has dated men who were White. "If they are going to be in a relationship with someone, they're going to be in a relationship with someone, and they're not going to let race get in the way of that."
Teresa Stauffer, Baxter Springs senior who is White and is dating a man who is Black, said changes were occurring in her peers' generation.
"I think it's an issue of the generation gap," she said. "You grow up with different people from different cul-
tures every day now. Our parents, possibly, didn't get a lot of that."
Although they encounter unique stresses, these relationships can lead to marriages that can and do work out. Interracial married couples have the same divorce rate as other couples, Dailey said. To survive, couples must be aware of the stresses and be prepared to handle them, he said.
Stauffer said communication was key in her relationship.
"We talked about it and that if we really want to be together, then that stuff isn't going to matter," she said.
Thielmann said she and her boyfriend would talk about the stereotypes and problems they would encounter as an interracial couple.
"I kind of had the feeling that it made us stronger, the two of us against the world," she said. "We talked about things, and we didn't turn against each other. We knew it wasn't us."
Interracial marriage noticed in society, disregarded in home
By Amber Stuever

Kansan staff writer
On a fall Saturday afternoon, Cardell Edwards, an African American, Olivia Edwards, a Mexican American, and three of their five children jab toothy smiles out of jack-o'-lanterns at their dining room table.
Inside their home, race differences do not matter.
"It makes a difference." Cardell said. "It shouldn't matter, but it does. Things are going to be different."
But when faced with society, this family, which combines African-American, Mexican-American and Caucasian cultures into one household, said race did matter.
Cardell and Olivia, who have been in interracial marriages before, have been married for a little more than a year. Cardell, Watkins Memorial Health Center office assistant, was previously married to a Caucasian. Olivia, who works for Kansas Social and Rehabilitation Services, was married to an African American. Their children each have roots in two of the three races.
Olivia and Cardell usually forget that their marriage and their family are "different" until someone else brings it up, the couple said.
"Or until someone makes a rude gesture in public," Olivia said. "And it does happen. Maybe I'm more self-conscience, I don't know. But it's here, it's in Lawrence."
Olivia said her children, ages 5 through 14, faced questions and comments at school.
"I wonder about my kids," she said. "They're mixed. There's no other way to address it. They're mixed, and what's it going to be like when they're older?"
Olivia and Cardell both agreed that racism still was alive in Lawrence. They said stares and differential treatment in grocery stores and restaurants were not uncommon.
"I think it's a shame that people are like that," Olivia said. "There's way too much to worry about in this world."
Cardell said he believed people reacted the same way to interracial marriages as they did to interracial dating. Olivia, however, said marriage tended to intensify racist attitudes.
"From my family's reaction, dating probably was OK if they had to deal with it," she said. "But god forbid you marry him and make it permanent."
The couple offered advice to interracial couples who were beginning a relationship.
"Know that you're starting out as a struggle," Cardell said. "Because you're interracial, you're starting out with a strike against you already, and you do have to be strong enough to deal with that."
Olivia agreed that no matter how happy the home was, couples must be prepared to face society.
"I think what they need to know is, even in 1999, going on the new millennium, racism is out there," she said. "No matter how old you are, how rich you are, how educated you are, it's going to be there always. So accept it and live for yourself."

EgyptAir plane crashes into Atlantic
Boeing 767 carrying 214 people goes down after takeoff for Cairo
The Associated Press
BOSTON— An EgyptAir plane with 214 people on board crashed at sea off the island of Nantucket early yesterday on a flight from New York to Egypt, and bodies and wreckage were found in the water.
EgyptAir Flight 990, a Boeing 767, plummeted from radar screens while heading to Cairo on a flight that originated in Los Angeles.
The search was focused in a 36-square-mile area about 60 miles south of Nantucket, Coast Guard officials said yesterday.
"The initial report was we had found seats, seat cushions, the flotation devices on the aircraft, life rafts and some other small parts that are not identifiable." Coast Guard Rear Adm. Richard M. Larrabe said at a news conference in Boston.
More than one body had been found by late morning, said Robert Kelly, avia-
ion director for the Port Authority, which runs New York's Kennedy airport, at a news conference in New York. At a news conference in Cairo, EgyptAir head Mohammed Fahim Rayan was asked about reports that the Federal Aviation Administration had warned his airline about a terrorist threat.
"We take all precautions, and we have plenty of warnings from everybody, including the FAA." he said.
A U.S. intelligence official said yesterday that agencies were pursuing the possibility of sabotage but that there was nothing immediately to point toward that. Another official said there had been no recent threats that seemed relevant to the EgyptAir disappearance. Pavan and Larrabee said they had no
Rayan and Larrabee said they knowledge of any SOS from the crew.
"Contact with the plane was cut suddenly, which indicates that something happened suddenly," said Ibrahim el-Dimeir, Egypt's minister of transport, communications and civil aviation.

Flight 990 took off from New York's Kennedy International Airport at 1:19 a.m. EST and disappeared from radar at 2 a.m. while flying at 33,000 feet, said Eliot Breiner, chief spokesman for the FAA in Washington.
board the aircraft.
An official familiar with air traffic control, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said controllers in the Boston Center in Nashua, N.H., who were observing the flight but not directly controlling it, saw the plane when it was at 33,000 feet.
The controllers said that during a second radar sweep 12 seconds later, the plane had dropped to 26,600 feet, and in a third sweep 12 seconds later, the plane was at 19,100 feet — a drop of 13,900 feet in 24 seconds.
Michael Barr, head of the aviation safety program at the University of Southern California, said that rate of descent would indicate the plane almost was out of control.
The plane, a Boeing 767-300ER, was delivered to the airline in September 1989, said Boeing spokeswoman Barbara Murphy in Seattle. The Boeing 767 is a twin-engine, wide-body passenger jet.
Rayan said the plane had 33,334 flight hours, and its condition was good.
EgyptAir, founded in 1932 as Misr Airwork, has a fleet of 38 planes and flies to 85 airports around the world.
Critics have called for the privatization of the company, one of the oldest in Africa and the Middle East, amid reports of bad management and bad service.
Sunday's crash comes after the Oct. 19 hijack of an EgyptAir flight between Istanbul and Cairo. That hijacking ended peacefully in Germany, where the hijacker was overpowered; none of the 46 passengers on board was harmed.
Bar blaze in South Korea kills 54, injures 71
The Associated Press
INCHON, South Korea — Fire swept through a three-story building crowded with weekend diners and drinkers in a South Korean port city late Saturday, killing at least 54 people, many of them teen-agers, police said.
Many victims were believed to have suffocated from toxic smoke. Most were trapped inside a second-floor bar and a billiard parlor on the third floor, police said. The victims mainly were high school students.
Police questioned four electricians following the discovery that the fire erupted after they left an underground karaoke salon where they had done renovation work during the day. The electricians were released Sunday after the questioning.
After the electricians departed the
salon, two employees used an incandescent light to clean the floor with brooms. One of them accidentally broke the light bulb, and sparks dropped into a nearby can of paint thinner, police said.
"This is our finding so far, but the final results of the investigation will take some time," said Park Myong-hwan, local police chief.
The fire quickly swept through the building in Inchon, the country's third largest city. It is located 30 miles west of Seoul on the Yellow Sea.
"It was a burning hell." Park said of the burned bar where most of the victims were found. "Some were moaning in pain. We brought them out first and practiced artificial respiration."
The building, located in an entertainment district in the city's center, was about 20 years old and lacked basic fire prevention facilities such as sprinklers.
state-run KBS-TV reported. Many disasters in South Korea have been blamed on lax safety regulations.
"All windows facing the street in the beer bar were blocked, forcing those inside to try to flee through the only door leading to the narrow corridor," witness Kim Jun-kyu said.
Police tentatively put the casualty figure at 54 killed and 71 injured. The death toll could rise because some of the injured were in critical condition, police said.
Everyone in a ground-floor restaurant managed to escape, but more than 120 people in upper floors were trapped, police said.
through a narrow corridor, burning plastic furniture and floor carpets. Toxic gas quickly filled the building, and most of the windows were blocked, police said.
"The fire spread so quickly that by the time we got into the beer bar, we found many people already dead. They appeared to have suffocated from the smoke." Park said.
Police said fire engines rushed to the scene and extinguished the fire in 40 minutes.
The flames raced quickly upward
"There were so many people carried out of the building, but there were not enough ambulances, and so firefighters left them on the pavement and rushed back inside to get more people out," witness Woo Sung-hwan said.
Saturday's fire was the worst in the country since a hotel fire killed 88 people in Seoul in 1974. Three years before that, another hotel fired killed 165 people in Seoul in 1971.
Just four months ago, 19 kindergarten children and four adults were killed in a fire that gutted a dormitory at a seaside summer camp in western South Korea.
Russian leader denies charges of targeting civilians in Chechnya
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia—Despite reports by medical workers and Chechen officials that civilian causalities were mounting across Chechnya, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin insisted yesterday that his forces were not targeting peaceful residents.
Federal jets and artillery blasted Grozny and other towns yesterday across the breakaway region, leaving dozens of dead and wounded, officials and medical workers said.
"Everything that concerns the bombing of peaceful residents is the ill-intended propaganda of terrorists," Putin said yesterday in an interview on the Echo of Moscow radio station.
Hospital and Chechen officials said 22 people were killed during the weekend in two bombings.
Putin claimed that Islamic militants were shooting civilians, but added that there may have been some mistakes by federal forces.
mined during the weekend in two bombings. Chechen leaders claim some 3,600 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Russian attacks since September. No independent confirmation was available, although medical workers have reported hundreds of civilian deaths.
Also yesterday, Russian security officials worked to secure the freedom of a French journalist who was taken hostage in Chechnya. Russian officials didn't say how long Brice Latieu had been captive, but French news reports said it was since Oct. 1.
About 1,300 people have been kidnapped in and around Chechnya during the last three years by gangs seeking ransom. More than 700 of the hostages have been freed.
"Any hostage in a Chechen prison, be it a Russian soldier, civilian or a French journalist, undergoes enormous suffering." Zdanovich said.
A videotape that played on Russia's NTV television yesterday showed Latieu pleading for help and saying his captors beat him regularly.
Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov said yesterday that Russian warplanes were killing women, children and elderly trying to leave the battle zone to save their lives.
Russian and Chechen commanders both reported more fighting yesterday, with ground clashes around Gudermes, the breakaway republic's second largest town, and Grozny, the capital.
Russian officials said border crossings would be reopened Monday to allow some 20,000 Chechen refugees to cross. The refugees have been trapped on the Chechen side of the border since Russia closed the border last week.

Bowersock dam workers risk injury taming the Kaw
All things atrophy. Men grow old. Riverbanks erode. Roots give out, trees fall into the water.
At present, the Bowersock dam endures, forcing back the Kansas River where Massachusetts Street crosses into North Lawrence, channeling water through gates, through turbines turning the seven generators inside the power plant, producing 2.5 megawatts of electricity — enough power to keep bulbs burning into up to 5,000 homes.
The 600-foot dam resists the river and the century-old plant lives because four men, all oak and iron, punch in each day, engaging in work that could break them in two. It's a matter of time. Every dam is waiting to crack.
"It's a great job," says Jason Loss, a Bowersock Mills & Power Company employee and a Lawrence senior study civil engineering.
Loss, and the other three workers, Steve Tucker, a 1996 KU graduate, Dave Readio, an electrical engineer, and Nick Stewart, a Lawrence resident, cover chores at the plant that range from moderately dangerous to downright daredevil.
"Flashboards are probably the most dangerous thing we do on a regular basis," Loss says us he sits in a concrete window and rigs himself up to rope and rappelling gear. He prepares to climb down the wall to reach a plugged drainage chute.
To deploy the flashboards, three men in life jackets edge across the dam while a fourth rides above them in a cart suspended on cables above the river. A winch in the cart is used to raise the flashboard while three men squat in the surging river full of discharge from Topeka's sewage treatment plant.
From the window you can see the dam stretch to the north bank. Eight-foot wide panels, the flashboards, are hinged to the top of the dam and stand like a wall of cards across the dam. The men periodically raise them to lend extra height to the dam, increasing the amount of electricity the plant can produce.
They prop the flashboard up with wooden planks, swinging heavy hammers and nailing the boards into place with two-inch stainless steel nails. Eventually, when the river level rises, one
by-one the supporting beams will snap like toothpicks, and the flashboards slam down.
Readie, the manager, built like a barrel of muscle, who has hands like bear paws and fingers thicker than sausages, describes how trees travel torpedo-like over the open-faced dam. Out on the dam, the men must be alert, or face the brunt of a river-borne battering ram.
"If you start thinking about it, you'd probably never go out there to begin with," Readio says.
Loss has known trouble with flashboards.
Twice he has been pinned beneath them, one being a newer, steel variety at the south end of the dam. A metal hook hit him, sending him sprawling and the door crushing down.
"I remember seeing the river washing all around me," he says.
he couldn't call for help because he couldn't reach the rolls on his big
His co-workers saw him at last, and Loss survived.
Now Loss eyes the river below before he scoops toward the edge of the window. He leaps out. As he rappels down the mossy wall, he holds a long pipe like a fishing spear.
His feet dip into the river. He leans almost upside down and searches for an angle to get at the clogged chute. Finding it, he thrusts the pipe up into the drain. Black debris spills out.
On the other side of the brick wall, within an interior chamber of the power plant, Tucker tries to rethread a bolt in a turbine about the size of a Volkswagen beetle.
A yellow bulb casts the only light, exposing the rusted chains that snake down from the ceiling. The squeal of the other generators pervades the chamber.
"I'm going deaf in one ear because of it," Tucker says.
The men have lowered 18-foot steel doors to keep the river out, but the seal is imperfect. Water sprays in through cracks and spills around Tucker's boots, pooling over the drain hole that Loss is outside trying to unplug.
Every underwater ligature in the chamber is caked with a barnacle-like crust left by hellgrammites, the pincher-armed larvae of the dobson
fly. The insect thrives in river water and feeds on anything, including the flesh of a Bowersock dam man.
"The first time I worked down here I was spooked," Tucker says. "But you get used to it."
Tucker explains that they are revamping this generator after one of its turbine blades cracked.
Four of the seven generators are nearing the end of their operating life, Tucker says. Much of the mechanical system dates back 50 or more years.
"We're always waiting for something to break down." Tucker says.
Tucker is often the first to know. He doubles as the night watchman at the plant, which means he gets to live in the spacious loft above the warehouse and use the plant's electricity. But when there's trouble with a generator, an alarm goes off in his apartment, and he will have to rise from bed and try to fix the problem.
In the chamber where Tucker works, a steel shaft runs from the turbine through the ceiling, where it enters generator number four.
Readio, grease on his face and hands, hunches within the hub of this generator. Delicately, he presses insulating tape across the new copper coils. Up here, the squeal is deafening, and the temperature reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a good year, the power plant can produce 1,700,000 kilowatts per hour a month, which the plant routes into the Kansas Power & Light power grid, Readio says. Because the dam's equipment has long since been paid off and the river is free, the only costs to the company are salaries and replacement parts.
KP&L pays the plant 2.45 cents an hour, which means the plant grosses about a half million dollars for the year.
The last few years have been banner years for the plant. Readio boasts.
One can tell Readio likes life on the river. Pictures on the warehouse walls show him smiling, posing with other Bowersock employees.
Workers have been keeping the system going since 1872. The plant has survived seven floods and ice flows, electricity has flowed since 1886 and nothing suggests that it will stop any time soon.

'Hawks battle come up short in 24-17 defeat
Bv Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
If Saturday was any indication, things are looking up for Kansas.
No, not because the Jayhawks played Nebraska close for the first time in six years, losing 24-17 Saturday night at Memorial Stadium, but because of the team's attitude after the game.
Coach Terry Allen, usually contemplative and patient with his team's performance, was upset. His team played good enough to win, but he wouldn't be happy with a loss, no matter how close it was.
"We're getting better each and every week," Allen said. "But you don't compliment yourself when you lose."
When a team comes close to beating a team like Nebraska — one of the best teams of the decade — the first inclination is to offer the coach condolences and congratulate him on a close game.
Allen would have none of it.
"You don't give congratulations," Allen said. "We came to play, and we came to win."

Indiana State edges out Kansas in tournament
By Melinda Weaver

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's tennis team fell short of the Region V Championship yesterday with a 4-2 loss to Indiana State, but the team found several positives from the fall season.
The top-seeded Jayhawks had a first round bye and defeated Tulsa 4-3 in the semifinals. Kansas won the doubles points and had singles wins from sophomore Rodrigo Echagarray, freshman Pete Stroer and senior Bryan Maier.
Maier won the match for the Jayhawks by breaking the 3-3 tie with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 win against Juan Bertoldi.
Doubles continued to do well for Kansas as the teams won the doubles points in both matches.
In the finals, Kansas battled second-seeded Indiana State but could not put together a win.
In collegiate tennis, the team that wins two of three doubles matches captures one point for the team score.
"There were not much difference between our two opponents." Maier said. "Indiana State had better players at the bottom of the lineup, but I didn't think any of us were not capable of beating any of our opponents. A few things that could have gone either way went their way."
In singles, Kansas lost four of five, giving Indiana State the 2-4 win.
Indiana State led 3-1 when sophomore Quentin Blakeney, sophomore Alex Barragan and Maier lost in the three, four and six positions. Echagaray brought the score to 3-2 with his 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 win against Gaerth Keating.
KANSAS TENNIS
"I'm very satisfied with the top of our lineup, and our freshman, without any college experience, are a good sign for where this program is going," coach Mark Riley said. "I feel very responsible for Pete Stroer having to save the match. We need to do a better job to keep the pressure off the freshmen. We were depending on both of our freshman players for the match, and that's not fair. The upperclassmen need to do a better job, period."
Riley said that he was pleased with the results he saw in the fall season. Kansas qualified a doubles team, Ed Dus and Echagaray, and a singles player, Magallan, for the Regional Indoors in February and were one point away from qualifying as a team.
When Streo lost at the five position, the match was finished, and freshman Eleazar Magallan, playing at the top position, did not finish.
"With more work, we will turn around the three, four and six position. We will be better in January, believe me. We have come so far in three months I'd like to see where we are in three or four more months. I'm satisfied with where we are going. We have a good team."
"We have a very young team, but we found that we have two very good players at the top of the lineup, and the doubles teams are very solid." Riley said.
Magallan finished the fall season with a team-high 16 wins, and Echagaray and Dus finished with the best doubles record. 9-2.

Jayhawk soccer ends fine season with two losses

Kansas sportwriter
After losing to Mississippi 1-1 Friday night, the Jayhawks, 8-10-1, were defeated 3-0 Saturday by San Diego State. Both losses followed a similar pattern which plagued the Jayhawks in their tie with Texas and loss to Texas A&M the previous weekend. Kansas continued to have trouble finishing opportunities.
The Kansas soccer team concluded the most successful season in its five year history with an unsuccessful weekend at the Ole Miss Classic Tournament in Oxford, Miss.
In Friday's loss, Kansas came out slow and didn't get things rolling until the second half when it already trailed by two goals.
"We played horrendous in the first half," coach Mark Francis said. "We came out in the second half and played much better. We had a few wide open one-on-one opportunities with the goalkeeper that we missed, so unfortunately it came down to missed opportunities again."
The Jayhawks had plenty of chances, as they fired 22 shots but only scored once. The goal came in the 76th minute when sophomore forward Natalie Hooydvelburied an unassisted goal, cutting Mississippi's lead to one. But the Rebels answered with their final goal and won. 3-1. Hooydvelburial was her sixth of the season, which tied a team record for goals in a season. Hooydvelburial wasn't the only Jayhawk to tie a team record on Friday. Senior goalkeeper Laura Rohe丁 tie the school record for saves in a game with 15. Her loss to San Diego State brought

a disappointing conclusion to the season and also came as the result of missed chances. Kansas only had a few opportunities to score and didn't succeed. They were outshot 17-3 by the Aztecs.
Although he was not pleased with the final result of the game, Francis was pleased with his team's overall effort.
"We did not quit." Francis said. "They had four good chances to score, and they scored three of them. We had probably three good chances to score, and we did not score. It is disappointing to end the season this way."
Outstanding play against 'Huskers delights loyal fans
For one evening, the University of Kansas showed that it had potential to be a football school.
While thousands of red-clad Nebraska fans invaded Memorial Stadium on Saturday in anticipation of another lopsided win, Kansas students were thinking of which bars they were going to visit at halftime with the Cornhuskers jumping 35-0.
But Kansas was holding its own
But Kansas early in the game. Both sides were exchanging punts. Kansas had some confidence.
1970
Brad Hallier sports columnist sports @kanan.com
Then came the blocked punt by Matt Jordan late in the first quarter that sailed out of the Nebraska end zone. Holy Columbus, Ohio! Kansas 2, Nebraska 0.
What a feeling
that was. Now students were talking about the goal posts coming down.
The students were delirious with excitement. Kansas 9, Nebraska 0. The talk around the stadium included not only tearing down the goal posts but ripping up the turf.
After Kansas held Nebraska to a third consecutive three-and-out possession in the second quarter, Dylan Smith, who is looking more like Mark Williams every game, maneuvered the Jayhawks 79 yards on seven plays. The drive was capped by Smith avoiding a sack, rolling right and firing a bullet to a wide-open David Hurst for a touchdown.
Now the rout was on, right? Kansas' offense was dead. The defense was wearing out. The students were filled with disappointment. But that disappointment quickly turned to ecstasy when Michael Chandler took a Smith pass and scampered 77 yards into the end zone. Chandler also caught the twopoint conversion pass, and again the Jayhawk faithful were talking of the posts coming down, the turf coming up and the bleachers coming off.
The students weren't alone. Coach Terry Allen looked like a crazed man, jumping up and down and waving his arms. Like the students, Allen was simply delirious with excitement. Students were hugging friends and strangers as if they were friends. Excitement didn't even begin to describe how half the stadium felt with score deadlocked at 17. The other half was praying that their team would escape with a win. And escape they did.
But after a Josh Brown field goal put the 'Huskers on the scoreboard, Bobby Newcombe drove a stake into the heart of every Kansas fan with an 86-yard punt return for a touchdown. Nebraska 10, Kansas 9.
Halftime came. Still 9-0. Nobody wanted to leave the stadium. The anticipation of an upset was evident. Even though Lyndon Johnson was in the White House the last time Kansas had defeated Nebraska, Kansas fans believed.
Early in the fourth quarter, Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch slipped into the end zone, giving Nebraska a 17-9 advantage.
Newcombe caught a 49-yard pass late in the game, which would be the winning score. The Jayhawks were out of timeouts. But even when Smith took Kansas onto the field with less than a minute left, no timeouts and 71 yards to go, nobody lost the faith. As time expired, Kansas fans kept their heads high.
How close our football team came to winning and the excitement we experienced while the Jayhawks played their best football of the season made, for one night at least, Kansas a football school.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
Abandon the thought of playing hooky today. Instead, strive for perfection in everything you do. You probably won't achieve it, but that's OK. The practice will be time well spent.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Be patient, as well as practical. Somebody's will ing to argue with everything that you say, even though you're right. Money may be the root of all evil, or it may not. Today, it does seem to be the cause of a lot of confusion.
You're learning something that will be useful later. What you're studying and what you are doing to pay the rent are most likely quite different, however. Is it time for a career change? Do what you love, and the money will follow — eventually.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You may be slightly stressed about your financial situation. You'd like to get something for somebody you love. It would be a thoughtful and well-appreciated gesture. Keep searching for a fire sale — but it's not fair if you light the match.
Leo: Today is a 7.
You're cool, but you have to work hard anyway. People who won't let you have what you want are out there. No point in throwing a tantrum. Instead, think about what you want to say before you go public with an important announcement.
Virao: Todav is a 7.
You'll have to hustle to keep up. The deadline's looming, and you might not even know what you're doing yet. You went for the challenge, and now you have to produce the results. Get an older person, a dear friend, to give you a boost.
Libra: Today is a 7.
A difficulty will arise today, a little snag in the nylons of somebody. Perhaps who you've been dating, could bail you out of this predicament. Don't trade love for money, though. That could cause all sorts of new problems!
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
You may feel like somebody is cramping your style. Think about it honestly, though. Is it the other person's fault, or are they refusing to do what this person wants? That's your choice, of course, and it might be smart. If so, be proud of your decision.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You can't get where you want to go. Slog through your chores and stop complaining. Stop daydreaming, too. Pretending you're there isn't going to make it happen sooner. Just the opposite is more likely the case.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
How can you take care of your own needs and another person's when they're contradictory? Should you pretend that you don't care? That's not a good idea. Why not still, instead? Maybe something will happen that takes the heat off you — soon.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
P
Compromise with your partner. The two of you have most likely had this same disagreement before. At least you know what to expect. Then, wait for a shift in the other side's position. If you and your mate work together, you could win.
O
You're most likely swamped with work. You'd rather be out somewhere, pondering the meaning of the universe. Forget that, for now. You could get into serious trouble if you don't pay attention. This is actually what the universe is trying to teach you, so get it!

Driver killed in crash during Marlboro 500
Cunningham's second postseason goal.
FONTANA, Calif. — Greg Moore was killed yesterday in a terrifying crash during the Maribor 500 at California Speedway.
About an hour after the accident, CART confirmed the 24-year-old Canadian was dead.
On the 10th lap of the 250-lap event Sunday, Moore appeared to lose control as his car was coming off turn two. The Reynard-Mercedes skidded onto the infield grass, crashed hard into a retaining wall and broke into pieces, with the open-cookpit driver's compartment spinning wildly and slamming into the ground several times before coming to a halt.
Moore was the second driver in the CART FedEx Series to die this year. Rookie Gonzalo Rodriguez of Uruguay, at only his second race, was killed in a crash Sept. 11 during practice at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey.

Chiefs get revenge on Chargers in 34-0 shutout
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Getting penalized for delay of game before the game even started should have warned the San Diego Chargers it would not be their day.
Just minutes into the first quarter, safety Reggie Tongue's 7-yard touchdown return of Erik Kramer's fumble set the rugged defensive tone for Kansas City (5-2), which routed the Chargers 34-0 yesterday in a one-sided showdown for first place in the AFC West.
It was the first regular-season shutout
since 1992 for the Chargers (4-3), who got just 28 total yards in the first half.
But the Chiefs weren't the only ones who benefited from the shutout. BrandsMart, a local electronics store, had been running a promotion all week that all sales exceeding $399 would be free if the Chiefs shut out the Chargers.
"I hope everyone enjoys their free big-screen TV on us," said Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas.
The Chiefs, who have won three in a row since losing 21-14 in San Diego on Oct. 3, are a half-game ahead of Seattle (4
2) pending the Seahawks' game tonight.
"This is the best the defense has played in the four years I've been here," linebacker Donnie Edwards said. "This feels really good."
The Chargers were assessed a delay of game penalty when they failed to get the kickoff away within 25 seconds of the referee's blowing his whistle signaling the game ready to start.
In the final seconds of the second quarter, Michael Dumas blocked a Kansas City punt near the Chiefs goal line. But the ball squirted directly into the arms of
Chiefs linebacker Greg Manusky, who lumbered 84 yards to the 7 before wide receiver Chris Penn ran him down.
Elvis Grbac, who threw four interceptions in San Diego on Oct. 3, was 11-for-15 for 194 yards. He threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Joe Horn in the second quarter and connected with Derrick Alexander on an 81-yard touchdown play in the third.
The Chargers were within inches of averting the shutout with a fourth-and-goal in the fourth, but Jim Harbaugh fumbled the snap.

Recruit still weighing options
Bryant is getting tired of decision process; will sign in November
By Matt Tait
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
A recruiting visit in which both 6-foot-8 guard DeShawn Stevenson and 6-9 forward Travon Bryant came to Lawrence for Late Night with Roy Williams may have established some future Jayhawk chemistry.
Stevenson, who verbally committed to Kansas last week, said that he and Bryant got along well during their visit. He also said that he realized if both he and Bryant came to Kansas it would benefit the team
we got along pretty well," Stevenson said. "I played against him in one tournament, and I hadn't seen him since then, but it was a lot of fun."
With Stevenson's recruiting pretty much wrapped up, Kansas' focus now will switch entirely to Bryant, who said he was still deciding among four schools – Kansas, Missouri, California and Kentucky.
Bryant's advice has come from a variety of places. He has talked to his coach, Ronald Massey at Jordan High School in Long Beach, Calif., he has talked to his
1
men's BASKETBALL
family and he has talked to people involved with each university. But the one thing he has tried to maintain is his focus - his focus on making the best decision for him.
"I know a lot of people a lot of places," Bryant said. "But they don't recruit me to come to a school. They let the coaches do that. Mostly they just tell me to make the best decision for me and give me any advice I need."
Despite the apparent hospitable intentions of each school and all of the people involved, Bryant said that the process is getting old and tiresome.
"Sometimes you give certain coaches a time to call, and they call when they want at like 11 o'clock at night," he said. "And the phone's ringing constantly. It's getting a little old."
But still, Bryant maintains that it is all worth it because he is trying to make the best decision for himself.
After visiting Kansas for Late Night, Bryant went to California last weekend and said that he enjoyed it and that it was a good school. He said he still planned to visit Missouri and coach Quin Snyder this weekend and then perhaps Kentucky in November.
Kentucky also is recruiting power forward Darius Rice and center Rolando Howell. Bryant said that if Kentucky were to sign another player that he would call and cancel his visit. He said that it was not because of threatened playing time, however.
"You're going to have to compete wherever you go," Bryant said. "I look at it as being helpful. If I go to Kansas and compete against the power forwards they have there like Drew Gooden, Nick Collison, Luke Axtell and Eric Chenowith, it can only make me a better player."
Bryant also said that Stevenson's commitment, although noticed, would not have any bearing on his decision.
Much the same, Stevenson said that he would not have much of a role in convincing Bryant to come to Kansas if in fact he does.
"I haven't talked to him since I've been home," Stevenson said. "If he comes to Kansas, I think it'd be great. It'd be better for the team if he comes."
But for now, Kansas will have to wait and see. Bryant is expected to announce a decision in time to sign in the early November signing period, which begins Nov. 10. That is the same time that Stevenson is expected to make his commitment official by signing a letter of intent.

Errors doom Jayhawks in 3-0 loss to Longhorns

The road woes continue.
The Kansas volleyball team dropped its third straight road match on Saturday night, getting shutout by the No. 9 Texas Longhorns 3-0 in Austin, Texas.
The Jayhawks dropped to 15-8 overall and 6-6 in the Rig 12 Conference.
"It was a disappointing loss," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We had more kills and digs than Texas, but we had 35 errors to their 17."
Those mistakes played a big part in the first game, when nine Kansas errors helped spark a 15-
8 Texas victory. The score was tied at 3-3 when Texas went on a 6-2 spurt thanks to five Kansas hitting errors.
The Jayhawks dropped the next two games, 15-5 and 15-13.
"We played OK, but we had a lot of hitting errors," Kansas middle blocker Anne Kreimer said. "We can't make mistakes like that and expect to win the match."
the loss was Kansas' second this season against Texas. In a 3-1 defeat against the Longhorns on Sept. 22 in Lawrence, the Jayhawks had trouble containing Texas middle blocker Erin Aldrich and outside hitter Kathy Tilson, who combined for 34 kills.
On Saturday, the duo exploded again. Aldrich had 11 kills and a match-high .385 hitting percentage, while Tilson added 11 kills and four digs.
VOLLEYBALL
Kansas finished the match with a .099 hitting percentage, while Texas hit 214.
"They are obviously a good team." Bechard said. "But we did not always take advantage of our scoring opportunities."
The Jayhawks dropped to 0-11 all-time against the Longhorns. Middle blocker Amanda Reves led Kansas with 17 kills, giving her 1,137 for her career. Reves is now only 10 kills shy of overtaking former Jayhawk Judy Desch for the all-time Kansas kills record.
Outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht added 11 kills, and led Kansas with 14 digs. Outside hitter Amy Myatt had 10 kills, and setter Molly LaMere had 37 assists.
The Jayhawks next will be in action at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night, when they take on No. 13 Nebraska at the Horesiw Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks lost the first meeting between the two schools 3-0 on Sept. 29 in Lincoln, Neb.
The Cornhuskers will come to Lawrence fresh off a 0-1 win against No. 16 Kansas State on Saturday night in Manhattan, Kan.

Newcombe saves Nebraska from upset

For more than two quarters of football on Saturday night, the Kansas Jayhawks dominated No. 8 Nebraska.
Cornhusker wingback Bobby Newcombe, however, dominated the rest.
"He had an outstanding individual performance this evening." Nebraska coach Frank Solich said. "It was a big, big game for him."
The Jayhawks were primed for an upset, leading the Cornhuskers 9-3 in the second half before Newcombe took control. After the Nebraska defense forced the Jayhawks to punt, Newcombe took off from his own 14-yard line, and 86 yards later Nebraska lead 10-9. The game's moment had shifted
"The punt returns Nebraska made in the second half certainly made the difference," Kansas coach Terry Allen said.
Late in the fourth, the Jayhawks tied the game at 17-17 and nearly had the
Cornhuskers stalled near midfield. After Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch converted a key fourth-and-one, he connected with a wide-open Newcombe for the game-winning 49-vard touchdown.
"We were in a zone, and they just happened to call the right play that could hurt that zone," Nesmith said. "It wasn't busted coverage or anything like that, they just called the right play for the defense we were in, and unfortunately he caught the ball, and they scored."
Jayhawk defensive back Carl Nesmith said that Newcombe's game winner was a matter of superior execution by Nebraska.
"That was the first time we ran that play, and it worked because their linebackers were playing me pretty tight, forcing me to the outside," Newcombe said. "I faked to the outside, but went back inside, and there was the ball."
Newcombe agreed with Nesmith's description.
Kansas running back Mitch Bowles said Newcombe made all the difference.
The fact Newcombe would be able to make this sort of magic seemed impossible a month ago. Following the Cornhuskers' 45-0 win against California on Sept. 11, Newcombe was benched as Nebraska's starting quarterback, shifted to backup winghead
Nebraska's two biggest plays and, in all likelihood, the Cornhuskers would have been upset on Saturday if not for Newcombe.
At the game's end, Newcombe had made
"We had to stop that Newcombe kid," Bowles said. "He got us a little bit and made two fantastic plays and that's what put them in the hunt and ultimately won them the game. He did it."
Newcombe hid in obscurity for the Cornushers' next five games, as he struggled with the position change and grew accustomed to not being the center of the Nebraska football world.
But that all changed on Saturday. For one game at least, Newcombe was back.

Jayhawks not satisfied with just playing well
All last week, Allen tried to get his players to buy into the belief that the Jayhawks could beat Nehraska.
"We believed until the final seconds ticked off the clock," wide receiver Michael Chandler said.
And why not? Kansas contained Nebraska in the first half, holding the 'Huskers to 69 yards of offense and taking a 9-10 lead. Kansas' run defense dominated
Nebraska on national television, holding the third-best rushing team in the NCAA to 34 vards.

buoyed by a refusal to let Nebraska intimidate them.
Nebraska scored on its first possession of the fourth quarter, taking a 17-9 lead, but Kansas came back when quarterback Dylan Smith connected with Michael Chandler for a 77-yard touchdown. It was the longest play of the season for the 'Hawks.
"We knew we could win this game from the first possession of the game. Now, I don't know how this happened."
"It felt like it was our game to win. It didn't matter what they did," Rayford said.

"Good teams are going to come out and make things go their way. That's what good teams do," defensive end Dion'Rayford said.
Nebraska did just that.
The difference was that earlier in the year, Kansas might have given up right then. Such a momentum-changing play would have broken the Jayhawks spirit, but this was a different team,
An 86-yard punt return by Bobby Newcombe tied the game with two minutes left in the third quarter, and the extra point gave Nebraska its first lead of the game.

"I's depressing. We just let it slip away form us," linebacker Chaz Murphy said.
"We knew we could win this game from the first possession of the game. Now, I don't know how this happened."
It may have been Kansas' best game of the season, but Allen doesn't look at it that way. It was just another loss. He wants his team to expect to win those games from now on.
"The players have shown an awful lot of pride," Allen said. "From a coaching standpoint, that's something you can be proud of."

New coach has passion, excites young Tiger team
By Matt Tait

Kansan sportswriter
"Sit down Norm." "Sit down Norm."
That chant has resonated through the Allen Fieldhouse rafters for decades, but this season it will not.
Missouri coaching legend Norm Stewart retired at the end of last season and has been replaced by former Duke assistant, Quin Snyder.
Snyder, 33, is entering the Big 12 Conference as the league's newest and youngest coach. His duty — to replace a legend.
The team that Stewart left in Snyder's hands certainly is not short on talent.
"I think they're hungry," Snyder said of his team. "And I think our best players are our hardest workers too, and that's a good combination to have."
The players, in particular senior forward Jeff Hafer and sophomore guard Keyon Dooling, said that having Coach Snyder on the bench would help the team.
"Coach Snyder's energy and passion for the game is unchallengeable." Dooling said.
Hafer agreed. He said that Snyder has been a part a winning tradition for his entire coaching and playing career, and he would be a fresh and

forward John Woods (11.9 ppg,

(7.2 ppg, 5.7 pg)
"I appreciate the way coach Snyder carries himself," Hafer said. "He's won both as a player and as a coach, and he's set a standard for us."
Outlook: Picked by the Big 12 coaches to finish fifth in the league, the Tigers will have to have their youth contribute immediately. If the leaders like Dooling and Helfer can set the tone and the other guys can follow, the Tigers could have a date for the Big Dance in March.
Missouri's youth movement is not solely focused on coach Snyder's shoulders. The Tiger roster has only one senior and a host of talented freshmen and sophomores.
The most talented is Dooling, last season's freshman standout. Dooling played in 28 of the Tigers' games and started 10 of them. He was second on the team in assists with 85, third on the team in steals with 32 and chipped in nearly nine points a game.
Dooling, a self-proclaimed older guy, now a sophomore, said he was excited about this season and
"I don't look at myself as just a sophomore," Dooling said. "I look at myself as a basketball player
thought he could contribute to the team, both on and off the court.
and I'm here for my teammates no matter what."
The Tigers quickly will learn about the character and talent of their youthful team. Their December schedule is as tough as any in the
nation. Games against Indiana,
Saint Louis, Iowa, Illinois and
Kentucky highlight the month of
December.
"I'm excited — we've got some tough games in December — games that can definitely help us or hurt us," Dooling said. "But if we peak at the right time, we'll win in December and help our chances for the tournament."

Cyclones have solid returning players, talented new guards
Iowa State men get stronger
by manhwan

Kansan sportswriter
By Matt Tait
The Iowa State Cyclones appear to be a team of two tales. One of its solid returning nucleus of big men, and another of the inexperienced, but talented corps of new guards.
Included in the returning list of big men is one of the Big 12 Conference's most talented and feared prospects, junior forward Marcus Fizer, who was selected by the conference's coaches to the preseason all-Big 12 first team. Fizer also was an all-Big 12 first-team selection last season
But Cyclones coach Larry Eustachy said he thought the team could be better than its No. 6 preseason Big 12 ranking.
"I have high hopes for this team," Eustachy said. "I think we're going to have to go on the road and steal some games. We're going to be in a lot of close games, and we've got to make some plays to get some wins in those games."
Fizer and junior forwards Paul Shirley and Martin Rancik have Eustachy believing that Iowa State's front court will be as strong and effective

"I think we were the weakest team in the conference last year in terms of strength," Eustachy said. "But we've worked extremely hard, and I'm not sure anyone is stronger right now.
"The majority of our team benches over 300 (pounds), and I think strength is a big factor in college basketball," he said.
While Eustachy said strength would be the Cyclones most improved area, Nurse said he thought the team's quickness

IOWA STATE CYCLONES -
Iowa State has a lot to prove this season.

Besides proving that it is worthy of praise, Iowa State thinks it can take the next step and get to the Final Four. Iowa State lost to Georgia in the Elite Eight last year.
Coach Bill Fennelly has not yet decided his startling lineup, but not much will change from last season. The top seven players on the team were responsible

"The returning players all have to get a little better," Fennelly said. "We have a few surprises every season, and this season we need more depth. Last year, we played seven players most of the time, and we need nine. We need to find new players to step up and help us handle our 16 game Big 12 schedule."
Iowa State is the preseason favorite to win the Big 12 Conference's North
Division, but Fennell said it would be a tough job.
"I'm really excited about the upcoming season and the possibilities of what lies ahead, but we play in a tough division, which will have a lot of teams in postseason play," Fennelly said. "Kansas is as tough as any team in the country, and there are several other teams who have a chance to contend. I would like it to be our team."
Last season, Iowa State beat Kansas three times, including once in the Big 12 tournament, which the Cyclones went on to win. This season, the challenge will be a little more difficult as every team in the Big 12 has improved.
"We have to win all of our home games and steal a few on the road," Fennelly said. "The biggest reason for our success last year was our maturity. We don't know what's going to happen, but never count this team out."

Despite a 13-15 record and 10th place conference finish last year, Missouri shows a lot of promise.
The Tigers added more talent and depth to the lineup with eight new players. Kerena Barr, a 5-foot-10 guard, Denise Cardenas, a 5-11 guard, Amanda Lassiter, a 6-1 forward, Christa Millham, a 5-10 guard, Jennifer Simpson, a 6-1 forward, Wannette Smith, a 6-1 forward, Melissa Statham, a 6-2 center
and Marlena Williams, a 6 forward, join the team as one of the strongest recruiting classes in Tiger history.

Julie Helm said, "We have a great staff, great players and more great players coming in. I couldn't ask for a better group of players coming into my senior year. I just want to get the season started, so we can grow as a team."

The eight newcomers join veterans Helm, Amy Monsees, Ekpe Akpaffiong and Tracy Franklin and hope to continue the winning streak that ended last season.
The Tigers must find a replacement for Kesha Bonds, the second leading rebounder in team
history and a top-10 all-time scorer, and find someone to fill the center position.
"The center position is very wide open for us," Stein said. We have some girls who are very versatile and can play at that position, but we don't have a true center."
Despite the holes the team still needs to fill. Missouri expects to finish in the top half of the Big 12 — a significant improvement from last season.
"I hate to give people billboard material, but if you ask any team in here, we think we can win it." Stein said. "Going into the season, it's easy to say we are going to do well, but I honestly believe it, and I want my players to believe it."

'Hawks tangle with Sooners
Women's rugby team loses tough match, men win in shutout
By Jason Walker
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The hits were heavy Saturday afternoon at the Westwick Rugby Complex as the Kansas men's and women's rugby teams collided with the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Jayhawk men's team flogged the Sooners 35-0, raising its fall season record to 8-3. The women fell short in their match, 27-22, but kept the score close the entire game.
PALLAVO
Stephanie Bishop, Lawrence senior and team captain, said that despite the loss, the game was a success in terms of the way the team played.
"We had a great game," she said. "We didn't give up and really dominated the entire game. I think we really came together as a team."
Bishop said that the Jayhawks dominated the field position war during the game, but that the Roses, Oklahoma's women's team, took advantage of Kansas' mistakes.
"Most of their scores came on mistrackles or when we just

weren't ready," she said. "And they capitalized on our penalties."
Bishop said that the women's team record didn't show the level of talent on the team.
"We've done a lot of great things but just couldn't finish," she said. "But I think we look great going into the last two weeks of the season."
The Kansas men, on the other hand, improved their record against the Sooners with a barrage of offense that never let
Oklahoma into the game. Brent Zluticky, Wichita sophomore, said that the win was a great boost in the confidence of the team.
"We definitely blew them out," he said. "We made a few mental errors, but I think that was partly due to the blowout."
Zluticky said the Oklahoma game was a good way to illustrate the way the team has improved in the past year. He said that last year the Jayhawks eked out a 17-16 victory in overtime against the Sooners.
"Everything is looking on the up and up," he said. "We keep steadily improving. Most of the team are juniors and sophomores, and we have some good freshman impact players. I think we should be pretty good for a couple of years to come."
This weekend the men will travel to Rockhurst in Kansas City, Mo., while the women will play Truman State in Kirksville, Mo. Bishop said the game against Truman State was the Jayhawks' biggest of the year and she thought they had a good chance of winning.
"It's really important because they are our main rival," she said. "Hopefully we can win big."
The men's team will play its next home game in two weeks against Kansas State.

MANHATTAN, Kan— David Allen scored three touchdowns and No. 6 Kansas State —eying a Nov. 13 showdown with No. 9 Nebraska —remained unbeaten Saturday with a 48-7 victory against Baylor.

Undefeated Wildcats slaughter Bears, 48-7
Kansas State (8-0 overall, 5-0 Big 12) allowed seven first downs and 119 yards, but did surrender a second-half touchdown for the first time all season.
Baylor (1-7, 0-5) did not snap the ball inside Kansas State territory until 12:09 remained in the game. But a muffed punt gave the Bears the ball on their 49, and six plays later Darrell Bush scored on a 4-yard run, making it 41-7 with 10:14 to play.
Allen scored on two short runs and caught a 14-year scoring pass from Jonathan Beasley and twice came close to getting his NCAA-record seventh career punt return for a touchdown. In the third quarter, a 65-yard return for an apparent touchdown was nullified by a penalty. And in the second quarter, Baylor's Charles Henderson
Save for that brief series, the Wildcats dominated, rolling up 24 first downs and 402 yards after taking a 34-0 halftime lead.
tackled Allen on the 28 after a 50-ward return.
The 50-yarder was followed four plays later by Beasley's 14-yard scoring strike, giving the Wildcats an overwhelming halftime lead en route to their 20th consecutive regular-season Big 12 victory and their 50th straight home victory against an unranked team.
Jamie Rheem kicked field goals of 24 and 37 yards in the first half and set the school record with 13 successful kicks in a row during a season.
At halftime, the Wildcats had 17 first downs to just one for the Bears, and had outgained the visitors 267 yards to 29.
On Kansas State's first possession, Beasley was 3-for-3 in a 15-play, 71-yard drive that consumed 7.35 and was capped by Beasley's 1-yard run.
On their second possession, Joe Hall made it 14-0 with an 11-yard run. Hall, who sat out the fourth quarter along with most of the other regulars, rushed for 109 yards on 23 carries.
Beasley, who was 10-for-16 for 118 yards and a touchdown, hit three consecutive passes for first downs in a 72-yard drive in the second quarter that Allen capped with a 3-yard run.

Top 25 teams win with combinations of luck and skill
The Associated Press
On a day of close calls, No.1 Florida State and No.2 Penn State started slowly but finished strong enough to keep perfect seasons going.
At this point, though, winning by any means is all that matters if the Seminoles and Nittany Lions want to play for the national championship in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4.
The top-ranked Seminoles sputtered in the first half at Virginia on Saturday night, then broke open the game with a four-touchdown second half — one on Chris Weinke's 50-yard scoring pass to Peter Warrick — for a 35-10 win.
"if scares me, but as long as he end up like they ended up, I can survive, I guess."
said Florida State coach Boby Bowden after the Seminoles moved to 9-0 and 7-0 in the ACC. "It's funny. You look at the score and you say, 'Yeah, boy, they're number one.' But gosh, you look at the first half and you say 'Gee, I don't know whether they are number one or not."
At Champaign, Ill., the Nittany Lions (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten Conference) led pesky Illinois by three points late in the third period, but Rashard Casey replaced Kevin Thompson and within 69 seconds he had a touchdown pass and a touchdown run and Penn State won, 27-7.
"The 'W' is all that matters. I don't care if we win by 51 or 1," said Lions linebacker Brandon Short, who had 13 tackles.
Especially for the Seminoles and Nittany Lions, who also are No.1 and No.2 in the Bowl Championship Series standings, which will decide who will play in New Orleans for a national title.
some other Top 25 teams were just lucky.
Bobby Newcombe returned a punt 86 yards for a touchdown and then caught a 49-yard scoring pass from Eric Crouch with 3:24 left to give No. 9 Nebraska (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) a 24-17 come-from-behind road win against Kansas (3-6, 1-4).
Kris Stockton's 18-yard field goal as time expired lifted No. 11 Texas (7-2, 4-1 Big 12) to a 44-14 victory against upstart Iowa State (4-4, 1-4).
Hayden Epstein kicked a 20-yard field
goal with 18 seconds left, giving No. 16 Michigan (6-2, 3-2 Big Ten Conference) a 34-31 win against Indiana (4-5, 3-3) at Bloomington...
And then there was Notre Dame.
and then ranked the 24th-ranked Fighting Irish (5-3) extended their NCAA-record winning streak against Navy (2-6) to 36 in a row but needed Jarious Jackson's 16-yard touchdown pass to Jay Johnson with 36 seconds left to koe out a 28-24 win.
At Huntington, W.Va., Marshall (0-0, 50 MAC) extended the nation's longest major college winning streak to 12 games as Chad Pennington threw for 288 yards and four touchdowns against Northern Illinois (45, 42).
Playing without injured stars Shaun Alexander and Andrew Zow, Albany (6-2) got two touchdown runs from Shaun Bohanon and a 65-yard punt return for a score from Freddie Milons in an easy win against Southern Mississippi.
In Michigan's win against Indiana, Anthony Thomas ran for 197 yards and three touchdowns, while the Hoosiers' Antwaan Randle El threw for 290 yards and four touchdowns.
LaVell Edwards notched career win No. 250 as Kevin Feterik threw for 336 yards and two touchdowns in BYU's victory against Air Force. Drew Brees threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns as Purdue (6-3, 3-3 Big ten) held off Minnesota.

Longhorns slip past Cyclones in closing seconds
The Associated Press
By Chuck Schaffner
AMES, Iowa — Texas got what it wanted at Iowa State. The Longhorns could care less how it looked.
Playing a team that had scored only one touchdown the week before, Texas needed Kris Stockton's 18-yard field goal on the last play Saturday to beat Iowa State 44-1.
It certainly wasn't a dominating performance by the Longhorns (7.2 overall, 4.1 Big 12), who were coming off an upset of Nebraska. But it did leave them alone in first place in the South Division.
In coach Mack Brown's mind, that's all that matters.
"To win a championship, you've got to win some ugly ones on the road," Brown said. "We only came to get a win. We didn't

Texas executed brilliantly.
come up here to look pretty. We knew it wasn't going to be pretty."
The Longhorns appeared to have the game well in hand after Stockton kicked a 35-yard field goal for a 41-27 lead with 9:33 left. But Iowa State (4-4, 1-4), ignited by J.J. Moses' 80-yard kick-off return, roared back with two quick touchdowns and tied it at 41-41.
Texas then took over at its own 28 with 3:12 remaining and all three of its outtimes.
On the first play, Applewhite hit Ryan Nunez for 38 yards to the Iowa State 34. It was a critical play because after that, the Longhorns could afford to be careful as they worked to make it as easy as possible for Stockton.
"They had the clock in their favor, and all they had to do was get a couple of yards here and there, get in field goal position and then kick an easy field goal with the wind at their back," Cyclone defensive back Ryan Sloth said.
Hodges Mitchell, who had a big day with 189 yards in 33 carries, ran the ball seven straight times to Iowa State and Texas called time.
day with 158 yards in 33 cart races, ran the ball seven straight times to the Iowa State I, and Texas called time with 4 seconds remaining. All Stockton had to do was make a kick that was even shorter than an extra point, and he put it through — the third game-winning kick of his career.
"He's been there before," offensive coordinator Greg Davis said. "That's why we have confidence in him."
Applewhite finished 30-of-40 for 345 yards and two touchdowns, setting single-season school records for passing yards (2,649) and

completions (206).
But he almost was upset by Iowa State's Sage Rosenfelts, who had been known more for his running than passing. With Texas stacking its defense against Big 12 rushing leader Darren Davis, Rosenfelts hit on numerous big plays while completing 11-of-20 passes for 291 yards and two touchdowns.
"This program will never accept losing, but I'm very proud of this football team," said Iowa State coach Dan McCarney.

Providing for parents
Student struggles combining classes, caring for mom
By Heather Woodward • Illustration by Kyle Ramsey
t is role reversal at its most poignant: the younger generation turning around to care for the generations who raised them.
When Diane Minear's father died in August, her mother's well-being fell to her and her siblings. Her mother's health has quickly deteriorated since then.
She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis — a disease that causes memory loss and muscle deterioration — about 25 years ago.
"I didn't know what taking care of her would be like," said
her would be like, said Minear, Tonganoxie
Milane, Tonganoxo junior. "She acts like a 12-year-old. Her memory has started to get really bad. She can't even order off a menu. We have to tell her what to order, which is hard.
de
te
to watch because she was always really decisive."
At least once a week, Minear drives from Tonganoxie to Topeka to give her sister a break from the 24-hour-day job. She does laundry and dishes and helps her wheelchair-bound mother get to the bathroom.
And then there are the finances. Minear now balances her 56-year-old mother's checkbook after having to take away her credit card. Her mother also lost her driver's license.
About 13 percent of older people live with their children, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
That responsibility is enormous in itself, but Mininear also carries a full KU class schedule, taking 15 hours this semester in history and prelaw.
"When my dad died in August, classes nad just started. I couldn't keep up with the homework," Minear said. "And of course my professors couldn't cut me any slack on things like pop quizzes. I just couldn't be in two places at once." For now taking care of he r
mother has become manageable, Minear said. Her sister has quit her job at a pharmacy in Topeka to care for their mother. But the next few years hold difficult decisions for the whole family, which has looked at options such as assisted living and nursing homes.
"We've talked about her living with us," said Minear who is married and has two young daughters. "But she didn't want to leave her home. We will have to consider her feelings, too."
Topeka-based Kelly Assisted Living, which also serves Lawrence, allows older people to remain in their homes while receiving various levels of care.
"We do whatever it takes to let people stay in their homes," said Renae Bulmer, branch manager for Kelly. "We can take care of everything from everyday needs up to skilled nursing and administration of medicine."
The baby boomer generation will start
But, she said, the demand for such care would increase drastically within in the next few years.

'Zero tolerance' alcohol policy may get tougher
By Nathan Willis writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Lori Hanson laughed when she read the letter.
A resident of Sellards Scholarship Hall, the Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, was one of the roughly 5,000 students who discovered letters from the Department of Student Housing in their mailboxes last November announcing a new "zero-tolerance" policy for alcohol on campus.
"Effective immediately, residents violating the alcohol policy will always receive a formal sanction associated with the infraction," said the letter signed by Ken Stoner, director of student housing. "Sanctions available include termination of contract."
Hardly language meant to inspire laughter. But Hanson and her friends at Sellards were amused.
"We thought it was funny," she said. "Sending a letter isn't going to do something about the problem."
And now, after a year under the policy, students say it hasn't, and numbers released by the department show little effect.
Housing authorities, however, remain concerned about drinking and are considering options for the future - options that include banning being drunk on student housing premises, banning empty containers and making all people in a room liable if any person is drinking. Those options probably will be considered by the Student Housing Advisory Board of the semester and could
by the end of the semester and could take effect by next fall.
Zero tolerance may be just the first step in housing's fight against alcohol.
How the crackdown began
Alcohol has been a problem in student housing for decades, Stoner said, but the University of Kansas has shifted the issue into the spotlight in recent years. Part of what spurred a demand for change was an October 1998 survey that gave the department some data to work with, he said.
The survey found that drinking was lower in student housing than in other types of housing. Still, 47 percent of underage drinkers reported that they had obtained or used alcohol in residence halls — ranking it beneath private parties, fraternities, bars and sororities but ahead of restaurants and liquor stores. Eighteen percent had obtained or used
Eighteen percent had obtained or used alcohol in the scholarship halls.
Stoner said that students and the administration had partially bought into an attitude of irresponsible behavior — which was something the department had to work against.
POTENTIAL ALCOHOL POLICY CHANGES IN STUDENT HOUSING
Being intoxicated on student housing premises would be against the rules. Now, only consuming or possessing alcohol in student housing is forbidden.
- Empty containers would be against the rules. Now, students can possess containers to alcoholic beverages provided the containers no longer have any alcohol in them.
All students in a room could be held resp. if able any student in the room was drinking. Now, only roommates and the students caught drinking can be held responsible.
"We have institutionalized things that are not OK to do." Stoner said.
The 1998 alcohol survey's results seemed to confirm this. Although 87 percent of those in student housing reported that they knew housing's alcohol policies, only 50 percent felt the policies were enforced.
So part of the reasoning behind zero tolerance and any future changes in policy is to change the attitude and the image that housing presents to students.
“It’s here to get a message across,” Stoner said. “To eliminate the impression that we didn’t do anything and weren’t going to do anything.”
Zero effect?
However, many students said that zero tolerance had also failed to get the message across.
Zero tolerance eliminated the initial warning residents got for their first alcohol violation and stiffened penalties, which now include hall probation, room or building reassignment and expulsion from student housing.
Numbers compiled this summer by housing showed that the number of alcohol infractions reported last year declined to 203 from 251 the year before.
However, Jennifer Wamelink, assistant director of student housing, said that because Lewis Hall was closed for renovation last year, the real rate of infractions remained basically steady.
Matt Capen, a St. Louis sophomore who lived in McCollum Hall last year, said that when zero tolerance was introduced, some students on his floor feared a crackdown. But it never materialized, and the amount of drinking never changed, he said.
"If you stand at a door on a Friday night, you can watch 30 or 40 people with bookbags or suitcases full of alcohol walk through," he said.

Students, fraternity receive citations for violating city law
By Lori O'Toole writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
When Dan Billen came home Sunday from a weekend out of town, he found a citation from the City of Lawrence sitting on his kitchen table.
The citation informed Billen, Topeka freshman, and his four roommates that they were living in violation of a city ordinance prohibiting more than four unrelated people from sharing a house. The citation said one of the students had to move out as soon as possible.
He said he and his roommates were unaware that they were breaking any city laws, and the real estate agent they were going through to rent the house had not informed them of the law.
"I was sad," said Billen, who will move to Topeka to live with his parents and commute to school. "So many people do this."
said there were no exceptions to the rule, which has been on the books since 1966. However, houses that have been restructured to include several individual apartments can have four unrelated people living in each apartment.
The five students sharing the house at 2564 Jasu Drive in the neighborhood southeast of 23rd and Naismith streets were not the only students to receive such a notice.
"Maybe we were just misinformed," Billen said. "There's so much of this going on. I don't know how they can be fair about enforcing it."
Mike Wilden, city manager, said the city sent a notice to Jordan Strauss, president of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, 136 Indiana St., on Oct. 25. He said members were living in violation of the code since the house was located in a single-family zoned area.
house had been used for some greek events, including social events and formal recruitment. Not all of the members live in the house, but it is where mail and phone calls to the fraternity are directed.
The City Planning Department
Wildgen said the city responded to complaints from neighbors when issuing citations, and that the city has written several each month. However, an Oct. 20 article in the Kansan was what brought the situation at Billen's house to Wildgen's attention.
MAPATH
Strauss said the city misunderstood the purpose of the house. He said the fraternity did not have a chapter house this year, but that the
Wildgen said there was usually no fine involved unless the residents refused to comply with the law after they had been notified. He said the multi-person living situation had become more popular.
"It seems to be happening more and more, especially south of campus," he said. "That type of life style is accepted in apartment-type areas, but when you move

Kansas attorney general to address KU students
University of Kansas students will be able to talk with the state's most powerful attorney tonight.
Carla Stovall, Kansas attorney general, will speak and answer questions at 7:30 tonight at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union. The event, which is sponsored by KU College Republicans, is free.
Courtny Gross, College Republicans events chair, said the organization wanted to bring Stovall to campus to encourage interest in state politics.
"Hopefully it will help get that interest in college students out," she said. "We want to show who she is, what she does."
Gross said Stovall would discuss the responsibilities of her office and popular issues, such as gun control. 'I said College.'
Gross also said College Republicans tried to bring important political figures to students whenever possible. She said the group was working to bring U.S. Senator Sam Brownback to KU next semester.
Local bartender victim of attempted blackmail
— Chris Borniaer
A bartender at Jack Flanigan's, 806 W. 24th St., was the victim of an intended blackmail, Lawrence police said.
Police met on Friday with the victim, who said he had received a threatening phone call from Wisconsin. The caller said she was under 21, but he had served her alcohol.
"But for a small amount of money, she would overlook the indiscretion," Set. George Wheeler said.
Wheeler said a report was filed, but that no arrest could be made because a caller in Wisconsin is outside the jurisdiction of Lawrence police.

Four new Slavic minors will be voted on today
The Slavic Language and Literature department would like to expand its influence within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences by passing four new minors at today's College Assembly meeting at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
The assembly will vote on the Slavic Cultures in Translation, Russian, Polish and South Slavic minors along with an African and African-American Studies, Communication Studies and Art History minor.
Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said she hoped
the Slavic minors would pass because of the opportunity they would provide.
"Normally a department proposes one minor — not four," she said. "It's interesting because in the literature minor, a student doesn't have to know the language. They can pick up some culture without opposition."
The minors will be voted on by the assembly, which consists of faculty members and students in the college. If the minor does not receive at least a 50 percent agreement from the group, the minor will be sent back to the preliminary level.
Along with the minors, a new Masters program in international studies and curricular changes to nine classes will be voted on at the 4 p.m. meeting.

"Gov. Bush is in good condition and good spirits and hopes that Agent Hughey has not sustained any serious injuries," Edwards said. "We're not clear what made it lose control, but the truck was out of control."
CHICAGO — Older women who smoke are more than twice as likely to get lung cancer as older men who light up, a study found.
New York City researchers screened 1,000 people who were 60 and older — 459 women and 541 men. Of 29 who had lung cancer, 19 were women and 10 were men. Overall, the risk of lung cancer was 2.3 times higher for women.
One of the researchers, Natasha Bucksee of New York Presbyterian Hospital, said the study was compelling evidence that women have a greater susceptibility to tobacco carcinogens than men.
But other researchers said the explanation could have been that women smoke harder or were less likely than men to have been checked for lung cancer by their doctors.
The lead researcher, Claudia Henschke of Cornell University, said a few recent studies also suggested women smokers ran a higher risk of lung cancer than men. But she said more work was needed to determine the reasons.
"It may turn out that women somehow smoke more of the cigarette than men do," she said.
Lewis Smith, a professor at Northwestern University and specialist in pulmonary and critical care medicine, said there was a question of whether women receive the same quality medical care as men.
U.S. medical research short on needed funds
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former U.S.
Surgeon General C. Everett Koo
says American medicine is the best
in the world but will lose that rank if
more money isn't invested in basic
research.
Koop spoke Saturday at the first gala created to highlight the research mission of the University of Kansas Medical Center, which honored him with its inaugural "Distinguished Service in Health Care" award.
Research gets less than five cents of each dollar spent on health care, Koop said, less than 56 cents per person a day.
The federal government spends $18 billion, or about 19 cents a day on health research, compared with $3.90 a day for social spending and $2.67 a day for defense, Koop said.
The Associated Press
More research money is important, Koop said, because medical advances to predict and prevent disease will relieve suffering and save money in the long run.

Janet Gerstner, Oread Neighborhood Association President, said there were multiple houses in her neighborhood shared by at least five students.
She said the living situation created parking problems for the neighborhood and that there was potential for more noise, more trash and more problems.
Indian Hills neighborhood, where Billen lives, and the Centennial Neighborhood, directly south of campus, had expressed similar concerns.
Gerstner said residents of the
She said her neighborhood would be pushing for more consistent regulation of such rentals in the next six months. She said this may come in the form of requiring landlord licensing.
"There's a chance that if the landlord is violating that code, they're violating others as well, like fire safety codes or electrical wiring," Gerster said.
Gerstner said the situation had been occurring more often as property values continued to increase, and landlords and tenets alike attempted to find better financial deals. She also said students, like Billen, were often unaware that they were in violation.
"There needs to be a real movement to educate students, but I know what the city officials would say: 'Ignorance is no excuse for violating the law,' Gerstner said. "It is a sad situation when students catch it."

KU general counsel to step down
Search to begin by mid-month for replacement
By Clay McCuistion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Victoria Thomas, chief lawyer for the University of Kansas, will step down Dec. 31.
And the search is on for her replacement.
An eight-member committee of University employees will meet for the first time Nov. 19 to consider a replacement for Thomas. Yesterday, Chancellor Robert Hemenway's office drafted a memo setting out the group's mission.
"In this day and age, organizations like the University of Kansas need a good lawyer," Hemenway said.
The general counsel not only represents the University in legal situations, but also offers advice and recommendations to the administration. Thomas' office recently helped Hemenway reply to questions about the legality of the University seal posed by the KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
"The general counsel is a very important part of that inner set of advisers," Hemenway said. "We need sound legal advice."
Thomas is retiring after 23 years in the general counsel's office. She came to the University in 1961 as an undergraduate and stayed to earn her masters' degree. After time away from the area and a brief stint as assistant district attorney in Johnson County, Thomas moved to the general counsel's office in 1976.
"That's a lot of time to be involved in a fairly high-stress job," she said. "I'm just planning to take some time and enjoy not being at work."

She said she didn't plan to take another job. Her salary for fiscal year 1999 was $99,710. But she's keeping her options open.

"I never rule out anything," Thomas said. "I'm not planning to just retire from the world."
Thomas said that her replacement would need both strong legal skills and an understanding of the University environment.
"You have to keep the focus on what the purpose of the institution is," she said.
Leslie Callahan, of the Center for Research, Inc., is a member of the
Center for Research, Inc.
search committee. She said that she had worked with Thomas in the past.
"She's been tremendous at what she does, and she's a tremendous resource for the University," Callahan said. "It's going to be hard to fill her shoes."
Callahan said she didn't know if there would be pressure to find a quick replacement.
"Until the committee meets, I don't have sense of things," she said.

Students wary of alcohol policy changes
Continued from page 1A
Yemi Adeyanu, Lawrence junior and Watkins Scholarship Hall resident, said the same was true of the scholarship halls.
"I don't think there's a difference," Adeyanju said. "I don't think it's gotten worse or better."
Wamelink said the change wasn't necessarily one that students would see.
"The change takes place on a sanctionary level." Wamelin said. "I don't think it is a change the everyday student would see."
Coming restrictions?
But students could see changes if the 11 members of the Student Housing Advisory Board endorse them this semester.
The first change being considered is to create a rule banning intoxication on all student housing property.
"Maybe we ought to redefine the issue in terms of behavior." Stoner said. "Right now, you can be stone-cold drunk and not be proven to be guilty of possession or consumption."
Such a change sets off alarm bells in students' heads.
"I think that's infringing on our rights," Adeyanju said. "I don't think that's fair."
Not allowing students to enter their buildings could increase drunk driving and force students to stay in unsafe places at night, she said.
The second change would ban empty alcohol containers.
"Nine out of 10 times, the empty container was most likely consumed in the hall," Wamelink said.
Capen said that change could hurt students who collect bottles as a hobby, as some of his friends did in McColum.
sider holding all people responsible if anyone in a room is caught drinking. Now, only roommates can be held liable.
Many students said that wouldn't be fair, either.
Finally, the board will likely con-
"I don't drink, but sometimes I go into a room and hang out with people that are drinking," Adeyanju said. "I don't think it would be fair for me to be written up."
Problems with enforcement
However, many students say that no policy would work unless it was strictly enforced.
Alex Runner, who was a resident assistant for two and 1/2 years in Ellsworth Hall before leaving for Japan this year, said that the connection was clear.
"The policies are nothing unless you have people that are willing to enforce them," he said.
enforcement seriously, although there were a few bad apples.
"You have good RAs, and you have bad RAs," Runner said. "As an RA, you have to live with residents and maintain a good working relationship or even a friendship. Some RAs choose to look the other way because they don't want to be the bad guy."
He said most RAs he knew took
But Runner said enforcement was also limited by privacy laws.
"Students have certain freedoms," he said. "I could hear bottles clanging, and I could say, 'Open your door,' but they don't have to."
Still, Stoner and Runner agreed that alcohol was held in check better at the University than at many other schools.

America's aging population

reaching age 65 in 10 years, making the elderly population more than 20 times what it was at the turn of the century, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In Kansas, senior citizens account for 13.5 percent of the entire population, an increase of 2.6 percent since 1990.
"We have a harder time staffing jobs in Lawrence than we do in Topeka," Bulmer said. "There aren't nearly enough caregivers in Lawrence."
The American population of persons 65 years and older has grown approximately 2.1 percent faster than the rate of those under the age of 65. Reduced death rates for children and young adults have increased the life expectancy for children born in 1997 by about 29 years more than those born in 1900.
The 176 units at Lawrence Presbyterian Manor, 1429 Kasold Dr., are usually 98 to 100 percent full, said
Nursing homes are another option for families seeking higher levels of care for their relatives than they can provide.

Mary Jane Fitts, director of marketing and admissions. Because the continuing care retirement community offers multiple levels of care such as independent living, duplexes, assisted living, skilled nursing and 24-hour nursing, there is sometimes a waiting list to be admitted for certain levels of care. And Fitts said she knows that problem will only increase in the years to come.
"The population of our clients is growing," Fitss said. "There are a lot of freestanding facilities popping up, but in terms of seeing people through continuous care, I think the demand is going to increase."
Nursing homes and assisted living can do much to alleviate the daily burden on families by surrounding older relatives with medical professionals and peers.
"I think it gives the family a lot of peace of mind to know that their family member is always within a few feet of a trained nurses," Fitst said. "And also, older people can get socially isolated, and here they have their meals with other people. We also take a holistic approach to their care. We take care of their emotional, spiritual and physical needs."
But the price for that care is not always easy on families. Fitts estimated that the range of cost was between $525 a month for an independent unit to $125 a day for continuous care.
Minear recently tried to become the legal guardian of her mother — the woman who had been her legal guardian for 18 years—but she said the legal process involved was more hassle than it was worth.
Although she said she knew her mother would continue to need more supervision in the future, Minear is focused on graduation.
"At times things have been very tough," Minear said. "But my selfish side won't take less classes because I want to finish so I can go to law school."

Preserving wetlands at center of seminar
By Todd Halstead
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Protecting wetlands and riparian areas in the midst of construction will be the focus of a free daylong seminar Thursday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
"Working with Wetlands and Riparian Areas — New Ideas for Growing Areas" will be hosted by the Kansas Wetlands and Riparian Areas Alliance. Three speakers will address the attributes of wetland and riparian areas, using them in an urban setting and outlining preservation projects.
Dennis Haag, chairman of the alliance, said the organization wanted to bring new ideas in restoration of wetlands and riparian, or streamside areas, to the Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka and surrounding metro areas.
"This is a pretty big order," Haag said. "One of our purposes is to invite the different components of development, including city officials and planners, the engineering community, the design community and other people that make things happen and try to get them in one venue where we can discuss the potentials of how wetlands may be utilized."
Haag said working with wetland and riparian areas often was a less expensive alternative for developers because they could avoid the costly permits and landscaping associated with altering them.
Attendees will hear from people who are making wetlands and riparian areas co-exist with urban settings, tour three sites in the Lawrence area that have possible solutions and discuss ideas and concerns with peers and experts.
The tour will consist of a phosphorous-producing plant at 440 N. 9th St., which restored and
Paul Rich, associate professor of environmental studies and a scientist at the Kansas Biological Survey, said many people did not understand the importance of wetlands.
"The wetlands are not fully appreciated except, perhaps, by duck hunters," Rich said. "They are really important for supporting habitat areas not just for bird species but for a wide range of other plants and animals."
He said that in areas where wetlands were retained, there were less problems caused by flooding and drought.
Rich said wetlands were important because they regulated and impeded water flow by acting as buffers, so in cases of flooding, they absorbed some of the excess water and in times of low water flow they released water.
In addition to monitoring water flow, wetland areas also worked to naturally purify water.
"The wetlands have been called the kidneys of the land." Rich said "The reason for that is, like the kidneys, they have an important function in purifying water in terms of any kinds of run-off that might contain fertilizers or contain toxic substances. They're very important in locations to essentially improve the water quality."
Registration will take place at 8 am on Nov. 4 at Building 21 on the Fairgrounds, 2120 Harper. Lunch will be served on site for $7.

Vandalism should not be tolerated as valid form of social protest
Few would argue that the college environment is not an open social forum for a variety of issues. Student groups on campus represent constituencies ranging from KU Young Republicans to the Center for Community Outreach. Unfortunately, it is difficult for many organizations to draw attention to their projects or causes. Student groups often seek out some type of creative advertising for this attention. However, vandalism should not fall under this category.
Recently, a group supporting the end of police brutality spray-painted several messages on University buildings, including Anschutz Library. While this act has drawn more attention to their cause than
Criminal activity is not an option when trying to raise awareness
normal — including this editorial — it continues the unfortunate trend of vandalism in the name of protest in Lawrence.
When a local radio station, 105.9 the Lazer, changed its format, many students and community members were outraged. Some individuals decided that it would be wise to take matters into their own hands by breaking windows at the station on three separate occasions. Others who decided to fight the change in format thought a petition or phone call would be more effective. While
neither form of protest worked, it was counter-productive to have vandals damaging the Lazer while others were trying to convince the station to change back to its previous format.
Of course, anyone you ask will say that we should support an end to police brutality, but those who fight this cause should go about it without committing a crime in the process. Students and the University community would respect this cause if property that had nothing to do with the issue was not defaced. When was the last time there was a violent arrest, let alone a police officer, in Anschutz? There are more proactive and legal ways to be an activist for something without painting the campus red.

Voters should forget candidates' pasts
A small-town newspaper displays a photo of a well-known man appearing in black face with a singing quartet. Newspapers around the country report on this photo, feeding the controversy.
So starts an episode of race-baiting in Missouri politics, pulling in both parties, the media and, most importantly, the voters.
The photograph, recently released by an anonymous source, features Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan performing in black face during a minstrel show at a Kiwis Club fund-rusher in 1960. Presently, he is running for Congress against Republican Sen. John Ashcroft.
The publication of the photo sparked a race-baiting controversy between the two parties. Ashcroft, who recently has faced allegations of racism himself,
Actions in past not relevant to future political performance
denies any connection to the finding and release of the picture.
Whether the release of the photo is looked upon as hostile or not, this is U.S. politics. If allegations fly from one party, then the accuser should make sure he has cleaned out the skeletons and cobwebs from his own closet beforehand. The photo is now in the public eye — that action is irreversible. The voters have heard the stories, the rumors and the defense. Carnahan has apologized for the insensitivity of the minstrel show that took place almost four decades ago. And therein lies the key, that this event
happened almost four decades ago. This alleged racial act took place just as the civil rights movement was starting up, during a time when black-face performances were not seen as racial discrimination by many in small towns.
Since his black-face performances, Carnahan has made many efforts on behalf of the civil rights movement, and he appointed Ronnie White, an African-American, to the Missouri Supreme Court.
Voters should not have to go back 40 years to find credentials for the candidate of their choice. What Carnahan has accomplished recently, what his goals and focus have been for the past few years, is what will affect the future. The decision is now left for the voters to decide.

Chechens oppressed at hands of Russians
On Oct. 6th, I wrote a column titled "Nation's greedy interests harmful to world's poor." I explored the situation of East Timor and the connections between the aberrations happening there with United States foreign policy. I said that "if you are rich, you can kill people, and world powers will continue to

trade with you." To my sadness, I was right.
The roots of the conflict go back to World War II, when Chechens were expelled from their territory by Stalin only to come back in 1956. Chechnya lost half of its population, lots of land and many economic resources.
What's happening today in Chechnya, a Russian province, is one more example of this sad and cruel reality.
In 1994, another threat to Chechens began. Russian
The third answer is oil. In 1994, the Russian invasion of Chechnya came just three months after Azerbaijan, an independent former Soviet republic, signed its landmark Caspian oil contract with the Azerbaijan International Operating Company. This oil contract started the dispute for pipeline routes. Some sources say that the current conflict started after Chechnya's National Guard tried to take control of its 150-kilometer section of the Baku-Novorsisslk oil pipeline. These facts force us to think that oil is an important factor in this issue that is claiming thousands of lives.
attacks lasted two years and killed 80,000 people in Chechnya. Chechens bravely resisted and retook Grozny (the Chechen capital), defeating the army that was once considered the world's strongest and most powerful.
Why should the world care about this? First, thousands of human beings are being killed. They aren't being killed in a war that finally will bring freedom and peace but in a silly war that is happening for reasons that easily could be resolved through peaceful negotiations and talks. Unfortunately, Russian leaders don't seem to talk very often when it comes to their conflict with Chechnya. They are used to begging for money externally and oppressing people internally.
Now, once more, Russians are trying to oppress the Chechens by bombing their territory and expelling them from their homes. Russia is backed by loans from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank that surpass $20 billion since 1992. This money comes ultimately from the United States. So Americans are paying the bill for the Russian attacks on Chechnya. During the last two months, 170,000 fled Chechnya to border provinces to survive. But why is Russia bombing Chechnya?
International aid to Chechens is restricted to medical supplies and a few blankets. International aid to Russians is increasing each day.
This question has at least three answers. The first one is history, simply because history has shown that Russians don't like Chechens. This was proved by the consecutive attempts of Russian governments to dissolve Chechnya. This happened mainly because Chechens have different roots, culture and language compared to Russians in general. They have a particular identity, and this always has posed a threat to Russia.
The second answer is religion. The predominant religion in Chechnya is Islam. As Russian attacks increase, it's logical that fundamentalism also will increase, and an unstoppable, vicious cycle gradually develops. Russians also blame Chechens along with southern separatists for a series of terrorist bombings that happened this year in Moscow killing about 300 people.
Thomas Jefferson said in 1813, "I have ever cherished the same spirit with all nations, from a consciousness that peace, prosperity, liberty and morals have an intimate connection." They don't seem to have this intimate connection anymore. Prosperity is now absolutely distant from peace, liberty and morals. If the world is ultimately shaped by American interests, it's your duty to fight against the dangerous course that our world is taking. It's only through your actions that the spirit of Jefferson can survive.

People, not schoolwork should be first priority
One evening last week, I was sitting or, my bed, working on a French project, listening to Ani DiFranco, studying for a midterm. I was being a student. Then the telephone rang.
Laughing, I raced my roommate across the room and picked up the portable phone. The world as I knew it changed with my grandpa's steady voice on the other end: "Sarah, grandpa's in the hospital. I guess you better come home."
It was a matter of hours, the doctors said. So
I drew a toothbrush and some underwear into a bag and headed for the door. But I stopped, realizing where I was and what I was supposed to do the next day and the day after that. I called my teachers and professors at home or left messages on their voice mail. "This is Sarah Smarsh from your 230 class. I have a family emergency, so I won't be there tomorrow. . . . 'Hi, Sarah Smarsh here, I know I'll miss the midterm, but..." There I went.

Then I went home.
Four days later, I was back in Lawrence. Changed forever, but still a student. Afraid of what I'd find when I reappeared in class, I strapped on my backpack and boarded the bus.
What I found were desensitized educators who deal with an excuse every day. Most seemed hesitant when I relayed my situation. They didn't know whether to roll their eyes or
The three-hour drive to Wichita was strange. My thoughts danced between my grandfather's liver and the tests I knew I would miss, pausing longer on the former. Once I reached the hospital, though, the worries of the University of Kansas were gone and the sorrows of cancer were all I knew.
to pat me on the back. As more than one of my teachers has pointed out, "More grandparents die during midterms than any time of the school year."
I almost felt like I should be apologetic for my situation, even as I was angered that some students have the gall to lie about something such as death. I also reminded myself that teachers couldn't have known how close I am to my grandparents, who basically raised me
This issue of credibility was not the only unpleasant prospect I faced returning from a family tribulation. I also saw that some teachers were reluctant to face the fact that students indeed have lives outside of their classes. I felt like a machine, being kicked for not doing my programmed job. Well, something called Life caused a glitch in that program. No one should have to feel apologetic for that.
A couple of teachers were completely understanding, even going so far as to (gasp) inquire about my well-being as a person. They wouldn't even hear of accepting the note I brought from grandpa's nurse. It's too bad that this seems to be the exception rather than the norm.
So please, give student concerns the benefit of the doubt, and don't take it personally if I skip your class to tend to personal matters, which are certainly more important.
I made up the midterm, got back on track,
and now I'm getting ready to study for another test. Back to being a student.
But if someone at home or anywhere needs me again, I will miss that test, too. My role as a University student is important in the scope of my life, but my relationships with other human beings are paramount. I hope that the University faculty realize this — in spite of the understandably jaded outlook many of them have acquired because of tail-spinning students and the narrow vision of life beyond the classroom some seem to have developed.

Womyn Take Back the Night about empowerment
Feedback
I am quite shocked at Jennifer Roush's characterization of men's exclusion from Womyn Take Back the Night's march/women's circle as "mean-spirited." As a Take Back the Night participant, I have never got any feeling at this event except one of sincere caring, support, and unity-with the male participants.
But this is not about men. This is a about women who were battered, raped, or
abused. Yes, some men have these experiences. But the fact is, as Almas Sayeed says, that most victims of such violence are women. So when a woman stands up in the women's circle, after one month, one year, or a decade of silence, it is important that she feel safe and supported. And after being victimized by a person "who possesses male genitalia," the safety of the circle may be gone for her if men are present. That's not sexism. It's the reality for many survivors of violence against women.
What I do find sexist is the fact that women cannot walk down the street at night without fear. And that women can't go to bars or parties without being 'careful'. And that date rape is still tolerated in many circles. And that women are silenced into shame and submission.
All of this is what Womyn take Back the Night is about: empowering women. And if that comes at the exclusion of men from some aspects of the event, then so be it. But men are welcomed and encouraged to participate in other ways.

Panel to address creatine's benefits, risks
By Amber Stuever writer@kansan.com writer staff writer
Some of these athletes look toward performance-enhancing drugs and supplements such as creatine, to accelerate the achievement of their goals.
They may be pumping and curling iron at the gym, but even the most disciplined body builders and athletes look for a lift.
Larry Magee, Watkins Memorial Health Center sports medicine physician, will examine the benefits and the concerns of creatine at Watkins' "Focus on Health" series from 7 to 8 tonight at the KU Visitor Center.
"There's such an interest among college students, high school students, athletes, recreational athletes and body builders." Magee said. "I think it
would be worthwhile spending some time on that."
Many suggest that creatine, which comes in liquid and pill form, adds size, increases strength and improves performance for athletes. It works by allowing muscle tissue to perform near maximum muscle contraction for a longer amount of time.
Magee said there was concern about creatine because of the lack of knowledge on long-term effects and lack of regulation. However, he said that studies showed that the drug did work, and possible long-term effects had not been proven.
Creatine is made naturally by the liver, pancreas and kidneys. It also is found in meat and fish. Creatine supplements pump up athletes' bodies by increasing water retention in the muscles.
enhancing drug said the results supported claims.
"When I was taking it consistently and working out consistently, I had a lot of energy, and it helped me gain weight quicker." said Alex Mebed, Topeka sophomore.
Those who use the performance.
Magee said he was conservative about endorsing performance-enhancing drugs.
"You have to keep an open mind and realize there are some benefits to some of these things or people wouldn't be using them," he said.
Cathy Thrasher, Watkins chief pharmacist, also will speak about regulations of natural supplements, including performance-enhancing drugs, at the seminar, which is titled "Biceps, Biochemical and BMI: Focus on Facts."
creatine or other performance-enhancing drugs, but staff is available to answer student's questions about them, Thrasher said.
Many students are not aware that drugs like creatine are under little regulation. Thrasher said.
Watkins pharmacy does not sell
Also, creatine won't work if you stop working out. Mebed said.
Magee said students should be informed about risks of creatine such as long-term kidney and liver failure and fluid retention, which can make muscles feel tight and lose flexibility.
"It's really easy to nullify the effects of what it does," he said.
"When you quit working out you lose it pretty quickly."
Ann Chapman, Watkins dietitian, also will speak about nutrition, diet supplements and body mass index on tonight's program.

CREATINE FACTS
Creatine only increases muscle mass if combined with weight training.
Creatine can work best when cycled — taken for one month with two weeks off or for eight weeks with four weeks off.
Creatine powders work best when taken with arape juice.
Possible side effects include cramping, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
- Creatine ideally should be taken 30-45 minutes before and 30 minutes after workouts.
Users should drink plenty of water — a gallon of water a day is recommended.

who will speak about Asian American stereotypes from 7 to 9 tonight at the Kansas Room in the Union.
Page, associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, is one of several members of the University of Kansas community
The discussion, which is titled "What's Wrong with a Good Stereotype: Images of Asian Americans," is a continuation of the Diversity Dialogue Series sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the KU Coalition Against Racism and Discrimination.
Maurice Bryan Jr., director of the Equal Opportunity Office and a member of the series' advisory board, said that the discussion would consist of a panel of students, and later the participants would break up into smaller groups.
Page said the small-group discussion was the meat of the program, and his experiences would not necessarily dictate the direction of the discussion.
"The great thing about it is we
allow the participants to come up with the stereotypes," he said.
"All of the dialogues have been successful in that they break down communication barriers," Page said.
Page said the series was a positive influence because it encouraged students and faculty to participate together and helped the University embrace multiculturalism.
Exhibit features tiny chairs, comes with large price tag
Edited by Jessie Meyer
By Shea Mayberry Special to the Kansan
How much would you pay to see an art and design exhibit? To a group of industrial design students, the chance to see an international design exhibit is worth $10,000.
The student chapter of the Industrial Designers Association of America is sponsoring "100 Giants of Chair Design," which opens today in the Art and Design Gallery. Ron Kemnitzet, associate professor of design, said he estimated the cost of bringing the exhibit to the University of Kansas was $10,000.
This international traveling
exhibit features 100 examples of modern chair design — in miniature. The Vitra Design Museum reproduced 100 original designs from its collection. Some models are only four or five inches high, but are accurately reproduced down to every detail of material and construction.
"It will look like Arlington Cemetery," said Kemitzer, who is responsible for bringing the exhibit to KU.
The students are going out on a limb to sponsor the project, Kemnitzner said. The association has 15 members, some whom have not paid their $10 dues. Previously, the association had SUA support, but did
not apply this year. Most of the group's income comes from dues.
The group hopes to recoup the costs of the exhibit through the sale of merchandise during the show. The students will operate a gift shop in the gallery that will sell books, posters, T-shirts and chair replicas. The books, posters and T-shirts can be purchased for 10 percent off retail price. The miniature chair reproductions will be 15 percent off the regular prices, which range from $150 to $300.
One hundred pillars topped with chair miniatures enclosed in Plexiglas boxes fill the gallery. Industrial design students assisted
the exhibit curator, Lorry Dudley,
with setting up the exhibit and will
help take it down.
The exhibit traces the development of modern chair design from the earliest industrial production to the present day. Michael Thonet's No. 14 chair, the first successful large-scale production chair in history, is one of the key nieces included.
"The chair has so many different meanings," said Lois Greene, chairman of the design department. "You have chair as comfort, chair as furniture, chair as sculpture."
Greene will be using the exhibit as a teaching tool. Her students will use the models to help them understand
The curator of the exhibit will give a free public lecture at 7 tonight in the gallery. She will talk about the different periods in the history of furniture design.
certain designers and their work through their chair's designs. Several other instructors also plan to use the exhibit in their classes.
The exhibit will run through Nov.
23. The gallery and the gift shop will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Monday through Wednesday, from
8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, from

Searchers find black box, give up hope for survivors
The Associated Press
NEWPORT, R.I. - Coast Guard search crews gave up hope yesterday of finding anyone on EgyptAir Flight 900 alive, but they found a large piece of wreckage and detected a signal believed to be from one of the plane's black boxes.
If Navy divers are able to retrieve the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder from the Atlantic ocean floor off Nantucket, the devices could provide vital clues for investigators who as yet have no explanation for the crash.
The Cairo-bound Boeing 767 was carrying 217 people when it plunged into the Atlantic from 33,000 feet early Sunday, a half-hour after leaving New York's Kennedy Airport. The plane went down without a distress call or any other indication of trouble from the pilots.
None of the debris found so far has any burn marks that might indicate a fire or explosion, said Coast Guard Rear Adm. Richard M. Larrabee at search headquarters in Newport, R.I.
Among the passengers were about 30
Egyptian military officers, mostly pilots who had been training in the United States, said Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon. Also among the passengers were 106 Americans, including 54 people bound for a two-week trip to Egypt and the Nile.
The Coast Guard, fearing bad weather today, stepped up its search for debris and human remains. Officials also admitted that a new phase of the operation had begun.
"It is in everyone's best interest to no longer expect we will find survivors." Larabee said.
As of midday yesterday, only one body had been recovered, but Larrabea said searchers had begun to see evidence of further human remains. He would not elaborate.
The plane's co-pilot, Adel Anwar, had been on his way back to Egypt to get married on Friday. Eager to help with his wedding preparations, he had swapped shifts and taken a colleague's place in the cockpit that fateful night.
Although the FBI and other intelligence agencies are investigating the possibility of terrorism, authorities said there was no evidence so far of foul play.
Thousands were killed millions are homeless
India still reeling after devastating cyclone
The Associated Press
BALESHWAR, India — Bodies were hanging from trees and floating through towns yesterday when rescuers finally arrived with aid for survivors of one of the most powerful cyclones ever to strike India, where thousands were feared dead.
"This is the worst flooding in 100 years. I would say it is the worst in India's history," said Asim Kumar Vaishnav, chief administrator of Baleshwar, the state capital.
After three days without food, shelter or clean drinking water, villagers in eastern Orissa state looked to the skies when helicopters showed up to drop packets of protein-rich food. Military boats appeared on the horizon in the Bay of Bengal to evacuate those marooned on housetops and hillslots.
With heavy rains abating, officials started to count the dead and search for the missing from the cyclone, which crashed into the coast on Friday with winds of 155 mph after building steam in the bay for five days. Meteorologists classified the storm as a supercylone, one of the strongest in the region this century.
Millions of people were left homeless by the cyclone, which stirred up tidal surges that inundated 87 miles of Orissa's coast. In Bhubaneswar, 200,000 people — nearly one of every six residents — lost their homes. Entire slums were washed away, Press Trust of India said.
United News of India quoted an unidentified official as estimating the death toll at 3,000 to 5,000. But the hardest hit areas remained inaccessible, indicating the death toll could be much higher.
In Geneva, the International Red Cross appealed for $2.65 million for emergency aid to the homeless.
With the weather improving, air.
rail and road links slowly were restored to major cities, but telephone and electric lines remained inoperable. The cyclone destroyed major industrial plants in the city of Cuttack. just north of the state capital.
Food riots erupted in Bhubaneswar, which had no power, drinking water or fresh food. Press Trust reported.
"There is a complete breakdown of law and order. Police are inadequate," said Defense Minister George Fernandes, who visited some of the affected areas.
Human bodies and animal carcasses floated on a huge expanse of water in the port town of Paradwip, 50 miles east of Bhubaneswar, Press Trust of India reported. Almost all the town's mud houses were wiped away and a high voltage transmission tower was a mangled heap of steel. Some 50 miles north of Paradwip, P.L. Panda, a minister in Orissa's state government, saw seven bodies hanging from trees during a survey of his rural district of Bhadrak, said R.P. Behera, an aide.

A family tradition of stopping the run

Andrew LeClair comes from a clan of great linebackers
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Andrew LeClair is a pedigree linebacker.
It runs in the family. His father, his uncle and his brother played linebacker in college — and his father, Jim, also played in the NFL.
So it's only natural that Andrew, a sophomore from Mayville, N.D., and an imposing football player at 6-feet-6 and 245 pounds, would start for the Jayhawks at inside linebacker. Like his father, he has the physical gifts and the mental ability that make great linebackers. He has quick lateral movement and a nose for the ball.
"He's certainly faster and quicker than I ever was," Jim LeClair said. "And he he's very aggressive playing football. He'll be fine with those attributes."
That's high praise, coming from a man who was just inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame this August after a stellar career at the University of North Dakota. Jim LeClair played for the Cincinnati Bengals from 1972 to 1983, and he played one year for the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League. He was an All-Pro in 1976 and started at middle linebacker for the Bengals when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XVI.
Comparing himself to his father isn't something Andrew LeClair focuses on though. There are other aspects that make him resemble his father. He's got a Scandinavian accent — like in the movie Fargo — from growing up in North Dakota and Minnesota, he is focused on obtaining a business degree to make sure he will have a job after he's finished playing football, and he's going to marry his high school sweetheart. He proposed to Lindsay Beck, a sophomore from Mayville, last December. They plan to be married this June.
His father did the same thing.
Jim LeClair and his wife, Betty, make the 10-hour trip from Mayville to Lawrence every time the Jayhawks
play. Their red Dodge Concord is racking up the miles each week, making the 600-mile trek across Nebraska and South Dakota farmland. It's a small task to watch their son play, because it's something they relish.
"We'll probably trade it in pretty soon. When you get so many miles on it, you wonder how long it will cooperate," she said. "But we gladly make the trip."
Jim LeClair never pushed football on his sons. If they wanted to play, they could, but he was uncomfortable insisting that they play football.
"I never wanted him to feel pressured into playing football. You have to want to play to do well," Jim LeClair said.
he's wife can understand why.
"Jim hardly ever talked about football," she said. "I used to get kind of mad because he would never talk about it when he played or when they played. That was him teaching them to be humble."
That's one area where Andrew LeClair has become more like his father — he's humble to a fault. It's tough to get him to talk about how he played or what
he thinks about football. He's careful with his words, short and to the point, never saving too much.
"If he had an awesome game, he'd say he played OK," Beck said.
And he's had some awesome games this year. Against Colorado he had 15 total tackles, 12 against San Diego State and 11 against Kansas State — the top three totals of the season for Kansas. He leads the team in total tackles with 77, while

Former basketball walk-on captures memories on film

Scott Novosel spent one season on the Kansas basketball team and three years making a movie about it.
Novosel, who was a walk-on and a captain of the 1994-95 team, is making an independent film about his experience as a walk-on.

Novosel was one of four players who made the final cut during walk-on tryouts in the fall of 1984 and were asked to practice with the basketball team for a few days to see if they were good enough.
"It also brings to light the tradition of Kansas basketball and why it is one of the best in the country."
Novosel was the only one to make the team.

Sports writers are journalists when they ask hard questions
One of my favorite journalism professors won't hesitate to say that most sportos (that's journalese for sports
reporters) aren't true journalists.
Is chomping down hot dogs in the press box and then pitching post-game questions during the press conference really journalism?
If done well, it can be Is Ahmad Rashad interviewing golfer Phil Michelson sitting courtside at an NBA game really journalism?

Probably not.
but Jim Gray's interview with Pete Rose during the World Series was undoubtedly journalism. The outrage of fans and players to Gray's questions demonstrates the strange, tenuous relationship between sports and journalism.
Sport is an unlimited source of story material. The inherent conflicts and traditional story lines make it endlessly interesting to legions of fans.
So what makes good sports journalism?
That depends on who you ask.
Obviously, not all sports writing can be great literature. The majority has to be concerned with the day-to-day happenings journalists document.
Some people just want statistics. Just give me all the numbers and let me crunch 'em.
Some people want analysis. Break down the plays, the strategy and give me the nuts and bolts.
Others want the news — behind-the-scenes dealings and conflicts.
If the best hitter in baseball history can't get into the Hall of Fame because there is evidence that he bet on his own games, you ask him about it — even if he is being honored at the time.
Jim Gray's question seemed inappropriate because it's not what we expect from a sideline interview.
We expect banal questions about the immediate action and platitudes for responses.
coach, what does your team need to do to get back in this game in the second half?"
"We just need to continue to grind it out and hope that the ball bounces our way next half."
We've seen so many of these dull, worthless exchanges that Jim Gray's question was like fingernails scraping against a chalkboard.
The sound was particularly grating for manv baseball fans.
Those who write about and read about sports are fans. Sometimes fans don't want all the news. Sometimes they don't want to have their heroes challenged.
Can't we just recognize them as athletes and imore their personal lives?
Not if it's news, and not if you're a journalist.

Kansas golfers finish ninth in tournament, despite hole-in-one

Conrad Roberts was not enjoying his weekend in California.

No. 10 Stanford won the tournament after shooting 847 on its home course.
The Jayhawks shot a 9-over-par in the first round, but came back to shoot a 1-under-par in the second round.
"We just made the most of our opportunities in the second round," said senior All-American Ryan Vermeer. "We played a little better, and we didn't panic."
Kansas shot a 4-over-par 299, in the final round.
"I think a lot of us missed some putts that we should've had," Vermeer said. "I know that I probably played a little too aggressive at times."
Vermeer said Kansas suffered when it came to putting.
The aggression, Roberts said, could have come from the play of other teams in the tournament. Seven teams in the Golfweek/Sagarin Top 25, including Kansas, played at The Nelson: No. 1 Northwestern, No. 5 Arizona State, No. 10 Stanford, No. 13 Washington, No. 20

"To an extent, I played well," he said.
"But I definitely left a lot of shots that I could have made."
This was the last tournament for Kansas until the spring golf season begins in late February.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 5.
You're most likely attracting attention at work. Don't do anything fancy; just stick to the routine you've established. They don't have to know how many times you've done this thing before, so don't tell them.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Some of the things that you were stressing about yesterday have evaporated into thin air. Be assertive; you can push through the other barriers. They might turn out to be cotton candy.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
There's too much work to be done. You may think you have to be superhuman, but for what? Be smart instead and let somebody help. He or she won't do the job as well as you can, with practice, there's a chance it could happen some day.
You're in an efficient mood, so make a few changes for the better. You should be able to proceed with most of what you want. A person who outranks you may not understand your reasoning at first, but you can explain it again ... and again ... and again.
Leo: Today is a 7.
Your assignment is to become fabulously wealthy Plenty of money is out there, and more is created every minute. Timing is of the essence, so get ready. You'll have to move quickly to get to the front of the pack. When opportunity knocks, be ready with the winning act.
Virgo: Today is an 8.
You are amazing your friends, and maybe even yourself, with your ability to figure things out. You're listening more, and that's valuable. Love looks excellent, and that's why.
Libra: Today is a 5.
You may feel squashed today. Your enthusiasm has been stifled, your plans thwarted. Do't give up. You can even get the money you've been looking for. Just go along with the rules and regulations; that's all. It can be yours, but you'll have to play the game.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Sagittarius: Todav is a 5.
You're getting your team whipped into shape pretty easily. You might not have officially been designated the captain, but you are. Others look to you for direction, so make up their minds for them. No point in letting them worry any longer.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Snap to and get the job done. You can use the money. If there's something about this job you find distasteful, ignore that part — the distastefulness, that is, not the job. You're good at seeing the big picture, so concentrate on it.
You are in a good position. You have lots of friends, and they're right. You're a good friend to have. It's quite likely you will do what you said you would, and that's always inspirational. So few people follow through, that many believe it's impossible.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
How much money do you have? How much do you think you should have by now? No clue? Ask a person who knows. You have a friend who's been there and done that. He or she would love to coach you down the path from rags to riches. Stop pretending that you already know how and ask.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
Your mate or partner could come up with a good idea today. He or she could inspire you to do the same. Working together, a partner and a friend — plus you — could accomplish magnificent things.

The knee was examined yesterday and the flare-up was found. The knee is the same one that Earl had surgery on in December, but the injuries are not related.
According to a press release, the team hoped to have Earl back in practice by the end of the week but he was questionable for Saturday's exhibition game against the California All-Stars.
As for the progress of junior forward Luke Axtell, the release said he is coming along as scheduled. Axtell broke a bone in his non-shooting hand during the first week of practices. He was expected to miss two to three weeks of action and remains doubtful for Saturday's game.

Goaltender Dominik Hasek reaggravated a groin injury sustained last season and could be sidelined several weeks.
Hasek (1-4-1) had played poorly through much of the season but was starting to display the form that made him a two-time league MVP and five-time Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's top goalie.
Now, Hasek is more of a problem than a solution.
Hasek injured his groin during the team's 3-2 overtime win against the Florida Panthers on Friday and will be out indefinitely. The injury occurred on a go-ahead goal by Bret Hedican with 33 seconds left in regulation.
The 45-foot slap shot caromed in off the left post as the goaltender vainly thrust out a pad. He then slumped face-first to the ice and stayed down for several minutes.

Manuel, who has never managed in the major leagues, replaces Mike Hargrove, fired after the Indians blew a 2-0 lead in the first round of the AL playoffs against the Boston Red Sox.
"The only way we're going to get national recognition, I know, is to win a World Series." Manuel said at a news conference as he was introduced as the Indians' 37th manager. "Believe me, I'm starting to work for October. I want it to go down to the end of October."
Manuel is popular with Indians' players and that clearly helped him get the job. It didn't hurt that the Indians scored more runs this season than any other team in the last half century.

Hometown celebrates life of golfer, friend
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The golfing world already had said goodbye to Payne Stewart. Yesterday, friends and family bid farewell to the neighborhood playmate, fishing buddy and family man.

Stewart was among six people killed Oct. 25 when his plane crashed in South Dakota.
Stewart's mother still lives in Springfield, where the city's public golf courses were closed for the day in his memory.
The pulpit at Second Baptist was surrounded with pictures of Stewart as a young man. His niece, Amy Thomas, played a cello solo, and Springfield policeman Gary Collins sang during the service. Gov. Mel Cannahan and several state politicians also attended.

In his father's footsteps

He's become one of the defensive leaders as a sophomore, and coach Terry Allen smile at the thought of having him play for two more years.
"He's just going to get bigger and stronger as a linebacker," Allen said.
Recruiting LeClair out of high school, Allen could see what kind of talent he had. He could dunk a basketball by eighth grade, was a state triple jump champion and was the starting center on the state championship basketball team.
"Every kid that you recruit out of high school you think can be a great player, but we're very optimistic he can be a great player." Allen said.
If he can be as good as his father.
that would be good enough for Andrew LeClair. He's too young to remember most of his father's career — he actually fell asleep during the Super Bowl — but he does remember one of the icons of the '80s.

McShane got involved in the film when he answered an advertisement put out by Novosel last spring. He said he worked 200-250 hours on the film last summer.
"Scott made a joke how I was his intern this summer, and he could have me do whatever he wanted," McShane said. "I'm a coffee boy, work the camera, do sound, whatever we need done. Once this summer we were filming Raef running in the park, and I had to hold his sunglasses. They told me that was my job for the day, to hold his sunglasses."
Novosel said that Phog Allen's grandson, Rob, and his wife, Wanda, have helped him with the film financially.
Novosel also will travel to the Tokyo International Film Festival in early November to meet with distributors.
Pollard will be in Japan at the same time because his NBA team, the Sacramento Kings, will play two exhibition games against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Academic feats win recognition for soccer team
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
It was a season of numbers for the Kansas soccer team, one where several team records fell and a record number of games were won, but for six Jayhawks, their best numbers were their grade point averages from last year.
Seniors Cynthia Dahle, Melissa Downing, Laura Rohde and Juniors Johanna Larsson and Meghann Haven earned first team Academic All-Big 12 Conference recognition, and senior Lindsay Loeffler made the second team. They lead the team, which earned a collective 3.11 GPA last spring.
Dahle and Loeffler are four-time selections and Haven made the squad for the second straight time. Rohde made her debut on the soccer list after being an Academic All-Big 12 selection in volleyball the last three years. In addition, Dahle and Downing were two of three conference players with a perfect 4.0 GPA.
"It is a great honor because it's hard to keep up the schoolwork while we're in season because of all the traveling." Larsson said. "We spend so many hours on the soccer field, so it doesn't leave a lot of spare time."
To be selected to the Academic All-Big 12 team, athletes had to participate in at least 60 percent of team contests. In addition, first team selections had to earn at least a 3.2 GPA and second team members needed at least a 3.0.
Phil Lowcock, the academic counselor for the Kansas soccer team, said many of the women had listed all-conference honors among their academic goals for the season.
"They've all worked extremely hard, and they are all very diligent students," Lowcock said. "The worst thing about the fall semester is that their season is crammed into two months. About 90 percent of their schedule is played in eight weeks."

Chicago Bears' star Walter Payton dies at 45
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Walter Payton, whose aggressive, elusive style made him the NFL's all-time rushing leader and took Chicago to its only Super Bowl victory, died yesterday. He was 45.
Payton died at noon at his home in suburban Barrington, Ill. The cause of death was not immediately released.
Payton had suffered from primary sclerosing cholangitis, a rare liver disease that only could be cured by a transplant.
Representatives of Payton's family and his doctor planned a news conference later in the day at the Bears' practice facility in Lake Forest. Ill.
He'd been on a waiting list for a transplant for nine months.
"He's the best football player I've ever seen. At all positions, he's the best I've ever seen," said Mike Ditka, who coached Payton for six of Ditka's 11 years with the Bears, including the 1985 Super Bowl season.
Fans were stunned in February when Payton, looking gaunt and
frail, announced he had PCS, and he made few public appearances after that. His condition gradually deteriorated, and his son, Jarrett, a running back/kick returner for the University of Miami Hurricanes, was called home Wednesday night.
Payton rushed for 16,726 yards in his 13-year career, one of sport's most awesome records.
"I want to set the record so high that the next person who tries for it, it's going to bust his heart." Ptonia once said.
Though his nickname was
"Sweetness," Payton's running style was bruising.
"Walter was an inspiration in everything he did. The tremendous grace and dignity he displayed in his final months reminded us again why 'Sweetness' was the perfect nickname for Walter Payton," Tagliabe said.
"There were guys who ran with the ball better, faster," Ditka said. "But I don't think anyone ever ran with more determination than Walter."
Payton retired after the 1987
season, and the Bears immediately retired No. 34. He left the game with 10,100-yard rushing seasons, and 77,100 yard games. He won the MVP twice (1977, 1985) and was selected to nine Pro Bowls.
He was elected to the Hall of Fame in January 1993. When he was inducted in July 1993, he asked Jarrett to be the first son to present his father for induction.
Payton is survived by his wife, Connie, and their two children, Jarrett and Brittney.

Rowing team wins one race, other boats finish well

The Kansas rowing team competed at the Head of the Iowa Regatta on Sunday and there were no tricks, just treats on this Halloween.
The Jayhawks won the Open Four Division, repeating last year's goldmedal finish. The boat of Sarah Canfield, senior, Lettie Ebbs, senior, Heather Muir, junior, Ellen Remsing, senior, and senior coxswain Nikla Rosenberger took first place with a time of 16 minutes, 1 second.
It was the last head, or 4000 meter race, this season for Kansas, which was important to Remsung.
"This is one of the better races I've
been in," Remsing said. "It was my last head race, so it was special to get the gold medal. I couldn't have done any better."
The First Varsity A boat finished with a time of 14 minutes, 1 second, taking third out of 19 teams. Wisconsin and host school Iowa tied for first. The Jayhawks finished 44 seconds behind Wisconsin at the Head of the Charles in Boston on Oct. 24th, but finished only 16 seconds back on Sunday.
Kansas' Open Two Division boats finished fifth, eighth, 10th, and 14th out of 15 boats.
The Head of the Iowa also was important for the future of Kansas rowing. The Jayhawks' novice boats competed
in their first head races. Kansas placed 10th out of 20 boats in the Novice Four Division. In the Novice Eight Division, the 'Hawks finished 10th, 11th and 20th out of 24 boats.
"The novice boats did a really good job," Coach Rob Catloth said. "It will help them prepare for when they compete in the spring."

Player's versatility, quickness provide kick for Kansas soccer team
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
When the Kansas soccer team had a need, Melanie Schroeder provided the solution.
Schroeder, Stillwater, Minn., sophomore, earned her place on the team through her versatility and quickness. She filled a variety of roles for the Jawhaws.
Her success didn't come easy though. She had a relatively quiet freshman year, serving as a backup and seeing limited playing time. Her only significant minutes came
after Lindsay Kennedy got injured.
"I got in a couple of times, but overall I didn't really play that much," Schroeder said.
Times changed though, and Schroeder adjusted quickly. Coach Mark Francis arrived in the spring and moved her to defender to utilize her speed in the back. He then moved her back to forward this fall for the early part of the season before placing her as a defensive midfielder, where she became a mainstay in the starting lineup.
Versatility allowed Schroeder to break through, which pleased
Francis.
Her ability as an offensive threat was noticed early in the season when junior forward Hilla Rantala injured her ankle in the season-opener. A scoring gap needed to be filled and, Schroeder was there to do it.
"She did very well." Francis said. "That's a lot of responsibility for such a young player. Actually, we need to get her more involved offensively because she's a very dangerous player up front."
After a loss to Missouri, Francis realized the team needed a faster
midfield, so Schroeder switched positions again. Kansas won six of its next eight games after the change. While moving around so much has been frustrating, it helped her find a position she now enjoys.
"It's kind of frustrating moving around a lot because I'm not used to that," Schroeder said. "I like defensive-midfield though, and that's what I'm playing right now, but wherever he puts me, I'll be happy because I know that he thinks I'll do good there."
Schroeder also has helped give
the team a boost through her spirit.
"With Schroeder you've just got to catch her in her moments," sophmore Allie Heyworth said. "She won't say much, but when she says something it's always so funny."
Through her attitude and allaround ability, Schroeder has emerged as a team leader and been one of the team's most consistent players.
"She's a great competitor," Francis said. "People can count on her, and everyone on the team knows she can get the job done."

'Husker men look forward to season with new offense
By Matt Tait
by Matt Tait
sports@kanson.com
Kanson sportwriter
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will have a totally fresh look when they step on the court this basketball season.
Aside from having a host of newcomers and partial renovations to their arena, the Devaney Center, the "Huskers have worked on installing a new offense.
"We're trying to play 94 feet and shoot more threes," coach Danny Nee said. "We're trying to be more aggressive, but right now we're playing between a turtle and a snail. And I want to play like a race horse or a rabbit."
Nee said that the progression of the new, more aggressive game plan was about where he expected. The Cornhuskers also will be using a full-court press more on defense, Nee said.
NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS MEN'S BASKETBALI
Last year: 20-13 overall, 10-6 Big
12; lost in the second round of the
NIT to Texas Christian, 101-89.
**Coach:** Danny Reeb, 74th season
**Key players returning:** Senior guard Cookie Belcher (11.8 points per game, 3.3 bounds per game) and senior forward Larry Florence (10.3 ppg, 4.1 rpl)
and forward Andy Markowski [6.4
poa, 5.6 real
■ Key players lost: Center Vanson Hamilton (15.7 ppt, 10.2 rpg; Big 12 Conference player of the year)
For senior guard and team co-captain Cookie Belcher, that is just fine
"When you have a totally new team, things can be difficult at first." Belcher said. "But with Coach Nee pulling us together, everything's going to work out. We've got the potential to be a great team."
Outlook: The Connushers' hopes are high this season. Although the team was selected to finish seventh, seniors Cookie Belcher and Larry Florence along with Coach Danny Nee are expecting much more. A new offense, several new faces and a new aggressive attitude may have the 'Huskers gearing for a Big 12 crown and an NCAA tournament birth in March.
Just how great will depend largely
on Belcher. Last year he was named to the All-Big 12 Conference third team and was a first-team All-Big 12 defensive player. His scoring average of nearly 12 points a game was second on the team, and he led the 'Huskers in steals and assists with 102 and 138 respectively.

The Jayhawks have never lost a game in Kansas State's Bramlage Coliseum since it first opened in 1988. That's 10 straight victories at the 'Cats' new place, and 16 in a row in Manhattan.
While the Jayhawks have enjoyed success in Manhattan, very few other teams have. The Wildcats have racked up an NCAA record of 53 straight winning seasons at home. K-State used that home-court advantage to boost a 1-7 conference road record to a 7-9 finish in the Big 12.
Losing to Kansas at home has affected the Wildcats, but 6-foot-6 forward Josh Reid, one of three seniors on this year's team, said that beating Kansas was not the

**Last year:** 20-13 overall, 7-9 Big 12; lost in the first round of NIT to Texas Christian, 72-71.

Shawn Rhodes (7.8 ppg, 4.9 rpg), point guard Chris Griffin (6.7 ppg, 3.0 rpg) and guard Ayome May (8.4 ppg, 3.3 rpg)
Key players lost: Forward Manny Dies (10, pep 8.2), cgrr, center
team's main goal this year.
**Outlook:** Despite being predicted to finish 10th in the Big 12 Conference, Kansas State's hopes are high. Seniors Tony Kitt and Cortez Groves said that the team's goals are to win a Big 12 championship and make it to the NCAA tournament.
"We try to play every game the same way," Reid said. "Going to the NCAA tournament will be more of a goal for myself than beating KU. That's just one game on the schedule."
While it remains to be seen if KState will snap its losing streak against Kansas at home, the play of Reid, along with the other two seniors, 6-5 guard Cotez Groves and 6-8 forward Tony Kitt, will determine the Wildcats' success.
Kitt said that he was confident in the seniors' play and their ability to teach the younger players.
on what the seniors) do this year," Reid said. "And we're going to be kind of the backbone of the team and come out and play every game and get everybody else going."
"I agree with Josh, and I think showing leadership and getting the younger guys to adjust will be our role this season." Kitt said.

NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
After a fifth place Big 12 Conference finish that earned it the Big 12 berth in the NCAA tournament, Nebraska spent the summer trying to find a way to get to the next level.
Nine of the team's players traveled to Europe for competition and to gain experience and concentrate on weaknesses.
Last season, the Cornhuskers finished 21-11, their second consecutive 20-win season, but they finished 8-8

"One of the things we had a hard time doing was scoring, and it gave us a chance to work on that," coach Paul Sanderford said. "We worked on the center position and gave our players a chance to bond and get used to one another."
Coach: Paul Sandforder, 17th season
■ Key players returning: Senior All-American guard Nicole Kubik (19.8 points per game and 5.6 assists per game), senior forwards Naciska Gilmore and Charlie Rogers and senior guard Brooke Schwartz (13.2 ppg and 5.9 rebounds per game)
- Key players lost: Forward Cary McDill and guard Gordon Williams.
Outlook: Last season, Nebraska captured the final NCAA tournament berth in the conference. This season, the 'Huskers expect to see similar results and make another tournament appearance. The team returns four seniors, and 6-foot-5 center Casey Leonhardt joins the team.
in the Big 12.
"My goal is to get my team Y2K ready," Sanderford said. "We play at a lot of tough places during our nonconference schedule to get ready for the Big 12 in January. We need to be better at winning on the road."
The team also is excited about a good recruiting class that brought in eight new players, which added depth and height to its lineup.
Transfer Casey Leonhardt will
make her Nebraska debut this season as the first 6-foot-5 target either of the team's senior guards can remember.
"Nebraska hasn't had a solid inside game in awhile," senior guard Brooke Schwartz said. "This opens up the outside because the defense can't ignore the inside."
Nebraska will return four seniors, including Nicole Kubrik, an All-American guard.

Experience finally will be an important factor for Kansas State, as center Angie Finkes, center Olga Firsova and forward Nicky Ramage enter their senior seasons.
Kansas State returns four seniors and four juniors, including the top three scorers and three of the top four rebounders from last season.
Last season, the Wildcats finished with a 16-14 record, 7-9 in the Big 12 Conference, but this season they will add depth and experience that they will help them improve.

The frontcourt will be especially strong with last season's top three scorers, Finkes, Firsova and Ramage, combining to make one of the top frontcourts in the Big 12.
"We have to establish a
strong presence in the paint, which has traditionally been the strength of this program," Patterson said. "We need to improve as a team defensively. On an overall basis, the next step for us is to establish enough consistency to beat the upper echelon teams."

Suggestion for traffic restriction still idling
By Nathan Willis
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Jayhawk Boulevard may be closed to all traffic except service, delivery and emergency traffic and KU on Wheels buses for most of each school day as early as next year — if a proposal by the provost can clear several obstacles before then.
Earlier this semester, Provost David Shulenburger asked the parking board to consider the ramifications of removing all the parking spaces along the street from Bailey Hall to the Chi Omega fountain.
"My concern is safety," Shulenburger said. "Lots of people are going back and forth across the boulevard, and their sight distance is blocked off by cars around them."
However, greater safety would come at a price. For one, the loss of the 110 parking spots along the boulevard, which are zoned blue and reserved for faculty and staff, would make an already tight parking situation on the Hill worse, said Morris D. Faiman, parking board chairman.
However, Shulenburger said he would like to close the boulevard after the new 818-space parking garage being built north of the Kansas Union opens in the summer of 2000. The new garage could alleviate most of the problems caused by the loss of spaces on the Hill, he said.
But the parking board has discovered several other problems.
"The reaction has been, 'Ooh, this is going to present a lot of problems,' " Faiman said. "It's not a simple matter just to close the boulevard. Can it work? I don't know."
One of the major obstacles is providing access for the handicapped and remaining in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires handicapped-accessible parking, he said.
Another problem is that closing the boulevard would impede visitors' access to the main section of campus, he said.
"There are a lot of visitors to this campus," Faiman said. "A lot of them come to Strong Hall. How do you get those folks up there?"
"We need to think about those things," he said.
"But I'm more concerned about human life."
Shulenburger said he recognized that there were difficulties to be overcome, but he said the safety of everyone on campus remained his overriding concern.
with safety in mind, Shulenburger also said he would consider restricting traffic flow on the boulevard for a longer period each school day than the present 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. restricted hours.
Faiman said nothing was likely to be done soon. He said the parking board probably would not make any decisions until after the new parking garage was open.
Don Kearns, parking director, said at yesterday's board meeting that Shulenburger had asked him to hold off acting on closing the boulevard for now.
Meanwhile, Korb Maxwell, student body president, said students should benefit from the proposal because no student parking spaces would be affected, it would improve the campus' beauty and would increase students' safety.
"We aren't the ones losing spaces," he said. "It's not even a student issue, really."

Manning the house not just women's work
Male housemom adds variety, fun to fraternity
By Lori O'Toole

Kansas staff writer
Dave Ryan does not mind being called a housemate — he said it's an honor.
Ryan, who also will answer to housedad, has been Triangle fraternity's house director for nearly five years and was the University of Kansas' first male housemom.
As house director, Ryan, who would not give his age, has done many things he never imagined himself doing, including teaching etiquette to male college students.
MICHAEL POTTER
Dave Ryan has been a housemate at Triangle fraternity for almost five years. His favorite part about the job is that it gives him the chance to work with fraternity members, including Jason Bogner, Washington D.C., junior; Justin Poplin, Baldwin junior; and Robert Hamm.

"I'm sure some of the other housemoms do a better job than I do," Ryan said. laughing.
However, with his help, dozens of men have learned how to properly set a table and prepare for job interviews.
There was also the time several years ago when Ryan performed in a Blues Brothers skit with fraternity member Patrick Everley, a Eudora junior who is now the house president.
Ryan works from the fraternity
The two men, dressed as John Belushi and Dan Akroyd, danced and sang on stage in the Kansas Union for part of a Mr. Greek competition. Ryan also did a cartwheel, which the fraternity members had taught him to do in the basement of their house.
He has plenty to keep him busy when he's not turning cartwheels.
"We blew away that talent show," Ryan said.
house, 1144 W. 11th St., as an independent computer contractor. He also performs his typical housemom duties, including coordinating the meal menus, conducting house maintenance and keeping in touch with alumni.
His computer expertise also has allowed him to set up a computer network in the house, advise on computer problems and help the house with its Web site.
"I love working with these students," Ryan said. "This is my area of expertise."
He was a hall director for five years at universities in Nebraska and Wisconsin and handled activity planning for 18 years. Before he accepted his job with the fraternity, he also worked in KU's department of student housing and as a computer systems specialist in Strong Hall.
He said he missed the student interaction with those jobs and was glad to start working at the Triangle house. When he accepted the job in 1995, he said he'd stay for only two years. But he has yet to pack his bags.
"It's the most enjoyable thing I've ever done," he said.
Ryan said that gender boundaries had never been a problem. He attends the monthly housemom meetings and has convinced several housemoms to begin playing poker with him.
"I've never been welcomed into a group as fast before in my life," he said. "It's a peer group that's a lot of fun. I had no problem with any attitudes, especially considering this is an area that was gender specific for many, many years."
Ryan's lifestyle with the house led
him to be voted "least changed" by his former high school classmates at a recent reunion in Plattesmouth, Neb.
"I said 'Why should I change? I'm still with the same age group as when I was back with you guv.'" he said.
Although Ryan was the University's first male housemom, he is not the only one. Phi Kappa Tau fraternity has a new house director this year, Pat Martin, who replaced another male housemom who worked at the house for two years.
Jason Bogner, Washington, D.C., junior, has lived in the Triangle house for three years.
He said he was surprised when he found out his housemom was male, but that he was glad Ryan worked there. Bogner said Ryan was always willing to go pick up school supplies or to give him a ride anywhere he needed to go. He said he also thought that Ryan's sense of humor made him a good fit for the job.
"I think he knows a lot more what the guys are going through than the regular housemom would," Bogner said. "He's really easygoing, easy to talk to and down-to-earth. He's a really nice guy."

Suicide quilt commemorates those lost; survivors take time to grieve
By Chris Borniger
Kansan staff writer
Courtny Gross knows what it's like to lose a friend to suicide. In fact, she's lost three.
The quilt will be at the Kansas Union today through Saturday. For Gross, Topeka junior, the quilt has a personal aspect to it — one friend, a former KU student who committed suicide, is mentioned on the quilt.
So when she heard about a suicide memorial quilt, akin to the AIDS quilt, she jumped at the chance to bring it to the University of Kansas.
"It brings back a lot of memories," Gross said. "It makes you appreciate what you have and makes you aware of what your friends go through."
Gross learned about the quilt from her mother, who works at the Kansas Historical Museum in Topeka. That's when she decided it would make for a worthy project at the University.
The quilt will go on display at 11:30 a.m. today at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. At noon, Marcia Epstein, director of Headquarters Counseling Center, will lead a forum discussing the after-effects of suicide.
As part of the Suicide Prevention Advocacy Network project, each state in the nation will contribute a quilt with multiple panels, one per suicide victim.
In May, the quilts from around the nation will be assembled in Washington, D.C.
At the University, the event is sponsored by College Republicans, Headquarters, Counseling and Psychological Services and ECM.
Epstein said the rapidly increasing rate of suicides, especially for people ages 15 to 24, made the event especially relevant.
"By seeing the quilt and seeing the faces on there, it makes it more than just something people hear about it." she said. "I think it really can make a difference when people know they can talk about it. We hope people get that help if they need it."
Rev. Thad Holcombe, ECM director, also will lead a survivors of suicide support group next at 7:30 p.m. next Wednesday at ECM.
"Even then, I found it helpful to just tell the story," Holcombe said. "Part of it is
Holcombe is a survivor himself. In 1984, his father killed himself after a long battle with cancer. He said empathy and support were vital in the period after someone close took his or her own life.
grief, part of it is just the suddenness of it all. It's best to have a place to talk about it, not just think about it."
Holcombe said he hoped the quilt and the educational events surrounding it would end the taboo associated with suicide.
"We deny it all over the place," he said. "There are so many myths and fables about suicide. If anything, I hope this will help raise consciousness about those issues."
After Saturday, the quilt will be at Watkins Community Museum, 1047 Massachusetts St., until the end of the month.

Sherriff's office targets speeders on Highway 10
Cars driving at risky speeds along Kansas Highway 10 have prompted the Douglas County Sheriff's Office to start targeting lead-footed drivers.
The crackdown began Oct. 26 and put more patrol cars in the area running radar.
Sheriff's Lt. Mike Suitt said since the crackdown began, the office had placed extra officers on the highway three or four times. Suitt said speeding citations had increased in the past week, but he did not know an exact number.
Sutt said officers working wrecks on K-10 had noticed dangerous traffic flow, and the increase in patrol cars was intended to curb speeding along the highway.
The speed limit is 70 mph most of the way from Johnson County, but is 65 mph near Lawrence.
With K-10 as the main route between Johnson County and Lawrence, the speed deterrent could affect KU commuters.
Chad King, Lenexa senior, drives to Lawrence along K-10 daily. King said he saw three patrol cars yesterday.
However, he said their presence would not affect his driving speed which is 75-80 mph.
"I consider what I drive to be reasonable," he said. "So I won't slow down any more."

20 percent of Kansas middle-schoolers smoke
Kansas smokes, a rate nearly as high as that for adults in the state.
A study by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment showed more than 20 percent of the state's middle-school students use tobacco products regularly.
WICHITA — A new study shows one in five middle-school students in
Although adult use of cigarettes has reached an all-time low of 22.7 percent in Kansas, more than one in five middle-school students who completed the survey said they had used a tobacco product — cigarettes, chewing tobacco, cigars or pipes — at least one day during the month preceding the survey.
Of students who smoke, four out of every 10 said they wanted to stop. But 64 percent said they expected to be smoking five years from now.
The survey of 1,110 sixth-, seventh and eighth-graders was conducted in May. Students completed a 75 question survey asking about their smoking habits, access to tobacco and other tobacco-related issues.
The KDHE study was coordinated with help from the Centers for Disease Control and the state Department of Education.
Officials said they hoped the findings would prompt lawmakers and others to support community-wide programs to keep children from starting to smoke.
"It wasn't a surprise," said Julia Francisco, director of tobacco use prevention programs for the state department. "We need to do whatever needs to be done, and that means a community-wide effort." she said.
CBS producer ordered to surrender videotapes
NATION
JASPER, Texas—A judge again ordered a CBS News producer jailed yesterday after finding her in contempt for failing to surrender video tape outskirts of an interview with dragging death defendant Shawn Allen Berry.
State District Judge Joe Bob Golden delayed his ruling from taking effect until after tomorrow, when an appellate court considers an earlier contempt ruling against CBS Producer Mary Mapes.
It was the second time in five days that Golden has ordered the producer jailed for not giving up materials related to the Berry interview.
Friday, Golden held Mapes in contempt for failing to produce a transcript of the complete interview, which she testified she had at her Dallas home. The 9th Texas Court of Appeals issued a temporary stay to that order, pending arguments from both sides on Thursday.
Mapes' attorneys argued unsuccessfully that she never had possession or control of the videotapes of an interview between anchor Dan Rather and Berry that aired Sept. 28 on "60 Minutes II."
Charles Babcock, Mapes' attorney, said he was considering a second appeal on the videotape issue.
"You could relieve yourself of ever having to come back to Jasper if your employers would let go of what they seem to have some kind of grip on," Golden told Mapes.

China could threaten Taiwan with cyber attack
TAIPEI, Taiwan—In five years, China could be able to use computer viruses, hackers and other types of cyber warfare to break down Taiwan's defenses and prepare for an invasion, the Taiwanese military said yesterday.
Taiwan's economy, government and military are highly dependent on computers and could be vulnerable to a high-tech assault, the official Central News Agency quoted Chang Jia-sheng of the Defense Ministry as saving.
China's cyber arsenal could include computer viruses, hackers and electromagnetic pulses that would disrupt communication networks and create chaos, Chang said.
Chang said Taiwan should form a team of experts to prepare the island for possible cyber warfare, the agency reported.
The high-tech weapons could quickly take out their targets without much expense or loss of life, Chang said. They could destroy public morale, spread disinformation and cause instability, giving China an excuse to move in and take control of the island, he said.
Chang said that although China was technologically backward, it had been able to "leap frog" in the past and quickly acquire technology for nuclear weapons, intercontinental ballistic missiles and satellites.
Acquiring the ability to use cyber warfare against Taiwan by 2005 is within China's reach. he said.
China and Taiwan have been ruled by separate governments since they split during a civil war in 1949. Beijing considers the island to be a breakaway province and has repeatedly threatened to use force to reunify the two sides if Taipei seeks formal independence.

International Studies masters to be offered at Edwards campus
By Amanda Kaschube
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The governing body for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences approved a new masters degree geared toward non-traditional students yesterday.
The College Assembly decided that the new Masters in International Studies primarily would be offered at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park and be treated as a professional degree.
Carl Strikwerda, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences and professor of history, said the program would appeal to a wide variety of students.
"We will make it flexible, so people in diverse areas can do it with their needs," he said. "We'll do it with existing faculty here and release them to teach at the Edwards campus. If enrollment is justified, we'll get new faculty."
Beverly Davenport Sypher, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences, said the new masters program would create money for the University of Kansas because Edwards Campus tuition was
treated differently than Lawrence Campus tuition.
The assembly also approved seven new minors, bringing the grand total of new minors to more than 20.
New minors include African and African-American Studies, Communication Studies, History of Art, Slavic Cultures in Translation, Russian, Polish and South Slavic.
Several departments including biology, English, political science and history added, deleted or changed course titles for various reasons.
Greg Shepherd, associate professor of communication studies, said some courses were deleted because the faculty members who taught the courses had left the University.
"I was surprised," he said. "It was a good, local-based class."
Joe Jarvis, Lenexa freshman and student assembly representative, said he was disappointed with the deletion of the Kansas Amphibians and Reptiles course.

Environmentalists dispute Coke's use of plastic
By Todd Halstead writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Environmental groups at the national level and at the University of Kansas say that Coca-Cola is giving to the environment by failing to use recycled contents in its bottles.
"I think it's clear that at this point they're not willing to make a commitment to recycling," said Rick Best, president of the GrassRoots Recycling Network. "Their issue is that basically as a policy they have decided that they don't want to do anything that costs them anymore than using virgin plastics."
The GrassRoots Recycling Network is a national environmental organization that has been
involved in a campaign against Coca-Cola for its failure to use recycled contents in the production of plastic bottles.
Best said that when open communication between the Network and Coca-Cola failed to produce the use of recycled contents, the Network began a direct-action campaign against the company. It urged consumers to mail empty plastic bottles to Coca-Cola's Chief Executive Officer with the message, "Take it back, and use it again."
He said last summer a telephone company, Working Assets Long Distance, informed more than 300,000 customers about the Network's campaign, which resulted in more than 30,000 responses to Coca-Cola.
"That, along with ads placed in The
Shannon Martin, coordinator of KU Environs, said the organization was interested in raising this issue on campus.
New York Times, really went a long way in bringing this issue to the attention of the public." Best said.
"We've talked about putting up signs on machines telling people that aluminum is much more easily recycled than plastic and also that Coke has refused to use recycled plastics," Martin said.
Bill Sheehan, coordinator of the Network, said that aluminum also was detrimental to the environment and that the inexpensive costs to produce plastic ensured that Coca-Cola would not be swayed into abandoning the material.
"I think the message would be
Martin said KU Environs had contacted Coca-Cola about employing recycled plastic bottles. In a reply letter, she said, the company wrote that it had looked into using recycled plastics but that it was not economically feasible.
stronger if you say that you want it in a recycled plastic package because plastic is not going to go away," Sheehan said.
Best said companies such as Gatorade and Ocean Spray were using recycled plastics, so it was possible and reasonable in terms of economics.
Victoria Silva, environmental program manager of Resource Conservation and Recycling, said that her organization had more than 100 recycling bins for plastic
bottles and more than 50 multi-use bins across campus.
Sharon Ashworth, a graduate teaching assistant in environmental studies, said that plastics virtually were indestructible.
She said Coca-Cola identified $100,000 for start-up costs of the recycling program and $10,000 per year to be reserved for recycling until its 10-year contract with the University, which was sigmed last year, ended.
"If you look at the end result you've got this massive amount of material that's going into landfills that's not being recycled," Ashworth said. "If they're creating new plastic every time they make a Coke bottle, then they are using a lot of virgin materials."

New bill asks the University to stop all ethnic harassment
By Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Increasing minority rights at the University of Kansas is a positive step, some student senators say, but one said it shouldn't come at the expense of free speech.
A bill that will be presented before Student Senate committees tonight would expand the University's definition of racial and ethnic harassment to include actions that negatively affect one's working, living or academic environment. The new definition also would include discriminatory or offensive comments and racially explicit statements, questions, iokes or anecdotes.
Shyra McGee, non-traditional senator and legislation sponsor, said that she wanted to focus awareness on racial equality at the University. As an African American, she said something happened every year to make her feel like her comfort zone
had been violated.
"I wanted to start a dialogue about what's going on on campus," she said. "I want the University of Kansas to be a friendly environment for everyone."
McGee said st proposed amendment after the University's sexual harassment policy.
the McGee said she modeled the

THE UNIVERSITY OF CINEMAS
SENATE
Yet, that policy specifically cites harassment occurring in academic or workplace environments, said J.D. Jenkins, senior holdover senator. McGee's proposed amendment would unjustly cover living environments as well, he said.
"It suggests a ban everywhere," Jenkins said. "That would be really scary. We can't go around giving some people rights and taking others' away."
Kevin Sivits, president of the University chapter of the
American Civil Liberties Union, said the proposed amendment was unnecessary, and would infringe upon already protected realms of free speech.
"This takes a questionable policy and makes it worse," he said. "It's very vague."
Should Senate pass the bill and University administrators approve it, Jenkins said, the University could be susceptible to a lawsuit. Nonetheless, he said he agreed with the spirit of the proposed policy.
"My opposition to it isn't racially motivated," he said. "We're just trying to work the bugs out."
McGee, one of the bill's 12 minority sponsors, said she understood the concerns of Jenkins and the ACLU, but that the current policy was inadequate.
"Saying nothing should be done about it is not a good idea," she said.

City, developer in lease feud

By Derek Prater
The rehabilitation of the Barb Wire Building hit a snag at last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting.
Mike Elwell, developer of the project at 8 E. Sixth St., and Jerry Cooley, city attorney, traded muted barbs in reference to the history of the project and a new draft lease agreement that city staff presented to Elwell last month.
The Barb Wire Building and the ground underneath it are owned by the city. Elwell said he had spent about $1.5 million renovating the building, which will include a sculpture gallery, live music, food and drink.
"This should be done in a spirit of cooperation to achieve a common goal, and in that spirit, we should recognize each one's needs and go forward," Elwell said. "My view is that the way this has been handled from day one is as an adversarial situation."
Elwell said he thought that the proposed lease draft was so dramatically different from the original lease that he wanted to take his case straight to the commission rather than meet with city staff. He said he refused to meet with city staff to
make a point.
Cooley said the new lease was only a draft and was meant as a starting point for discussions.
"We sit down and look at the concerns," he said. "That's how we negotiate."
The dispute centers on changes from the original lease that Elwell signed in 1991.
Elwell said the draft cut 43 percent from the duration of the original lease, added $4,800 in rent per year as well as several other requirements that he felt were unfair.
Cooley said the changes were justified to protect city interests because Elwell had not met prior requirements and the nature of the project had been changed. For example, it included a drinking establishment.
Elwell said his intentions were clear from the start and that he had been unable to obtain an occupancy permit, a requirement for the lease, because of factors including the dilapidated state of the building and city restrictions.
City commissioners agreed that the project would be an asset to the community and directed city staff to meet with Elwell to come up with a compromise. They have allowed 30 days for an agreement to be worked out.

End of the line for the trafficway may be beginning for mass transit
The controversy surrounding the South Lawrence Trafficway ended two weeks ago when the Haskell Board of Regents rejected the proposal to complete the trafficway along 31st Street. The idea of completing the trafficway project is now virtually dead, leaving $9 million for the city of Lawrence to use on transportation improvements.
Rather than using the money on road improvements, the city should invest in a city-wide public transportation system. The current transit proposal, supported by a student referendum, and City Commission election last spring, is long overdue.
Although devoting the money to public transportation may be diverting the money away from its original purpose of building roads, it is still a good idea. With a significant chunk of capital, the city — in conjunction with the University — can get a good jump on developing an effective public transportation system. Better yet, if the city pays for a transportation system with money originally meant for the trafficway, taxpayers will have to pay less of the initial costs.
Public transportation, not more roads, is the answer to Lawrence's traffic problems
win situation. If the city can use this money to get the bus system going and also encourage the public to use it, eventually there will be fewer cars on the road. Haskell Indian Nations University will be happy because the trafficway won't run by its school. The environment will not be hurt by the construction of new roads and will be improved with less car pollution. The goal of easing traffic woes will be at least partially achieved by instituting a good mass-transit system.
It's an easy argument to make. Developing an effective, inexpensive public transportation system is a win-
Concrete wastelands from Los Angeles to Johnson County have proven that wider roads don't solve traffic problems. Getting people out of their cars and onto buses is the only way to really end road congestion.

Perspective
Rainforest farmer gives glimpse of Costa Rica
Carlos Sancho looked like my Iowa-farmer ancestors — rail thin, a bit humed, thick weathered fingers and sharply dressed in blue pants and a short-sleeve button-down shirt.
Slap a pitchfork in his hand and he could pose for "American Gothic." Except Sancho doesn't grow
grain or raise livestock. He tends an acre around his house filled with plants used in medicine and food.
PRESENTED BY
He's a shaman of sorts to the small, cooperative, agrotourism community of Cerro de Oro, located in the jungle of Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula. Cerro de Oro (hill of gold) was originally a gold-mining camp during the mid-1980s Osa gold rush. Miners descended in droves to the peninsula, and especially Corcovado National Park, which Cerro de Oro borders
Matt
Merkel-Hess
columnist
qonimer @ kansan.com
This area contains some of the best preserved lowland Pacific rain forest in Central America. To save the jungle from the havoc of mining, the government evicted or bought out the miners. About 10 years ago, Cerro de Oro was turned into the community it is today. To experience agri-tourism and the jungle, all the students and two professors from the our program spent a weekend there.
To get to Cerro de Oro, we followed nature's own roads — rivers. In the town of La Palma we boarded a flat-bed trailer pulled by a tractor and used sandbars, an occasional road and rocky riverbed to grind our way upstream. Twice, water lapped over the edge of the trailer. Throughout the bumpy, three-hour ride, our views progressed from barbed-wire fenced pasture land to the dense jungle of the neotropics.
Trees towered overhead, vines draped like garlands, and spiky orange heliconia flowers poked out along riverbanks. We spotted birds such as the rare, white and black king vulture and the magnificent red, blue and yellow scarlet macaw, which was once commonly found in all of Costa Rica.
It's no wonder people choose to live or travel to this spot, miles from anywhere. Don Ricardo, Cerro de Oro's energetic director, was our guide
for much of the weekend. In rapid Spanish, he told us of the area's history, efforts in sustainable development, taught us how to press sugar cane to make a sweet juice (it tastes similar to sweet corn) and on hikes performed lunches wrapped in large leaves. These waxy leaves kept the rice, beans, fried bananas and tortillas warm for three hours and were a handy, recyclable plate. He also showed off their new 1750-watt hydraulic electricity system, enough to power about forty 40-watt bulbs. It also provided enough juice for us to watch the Tvson-Norris flight on the communal TV.
Then there's Sancho and his garden. This man, who once studied feminist psychology in the Czech Republic, lives at the highest point of Cerro de Orca's 10 or so buildings. Well into his 70s, he tirelessly explained his garden and the plant's uses, always with a grandfatherly twinkle in his eye. He showed us more than 60 plants, some familiar such as oregano, vera and citronella. But the vast majority of his garden is unknown to North Americans. Plants such as zacate de violenta, used in fine perfumes; calahuala, which has anti-cancerous roots; and apazin, which can relieve asthma.
There are some at Cerro de Oro who know many of Sancho's plants, and he mentioned students and researchers from around the world who had come to study with him, but there is no apprentice who will carry on his garden and the knowledge of the plants.
"I want honest people like you to work with," Sancho said. "Students who have an interest in the cooperative."
But many don't want to come he said. They are unwilling to give up life in cities, nights at the bar and the convenience of a supermarket.
Cerro de Oro and Sancho's garden will go on, surviving on the adventurous tourists who make it there.
And on the hike out, while crossing the Conte River 25 to 30 times, some of the students already were scheming how to return for more than just one weekend.
After all, Sancho needs some help tending his garden.

Board of Regents skewed by capitalist membership
This is not the board of directors of a local corporation or members of the chamber of commerce. It's the Board of Regents for the state of Kansas. Like most governing institutions in this country, the Board of Regents is dominated
A grain farmer and ex-senator, a director of a Kansas City foundation, another farmer and rancher, a real estate agent and ex-House of Representatives member, the owner of a real-estate investment corporation, the CEO of a bank, a real-estate broker, the CEO of a tractor company and a music instructor.
by the business and professional classes.
23
At face value this concentration of capitalists may seem unimportant, but it holds serious implications for how the goals and purposes of higher education in this state will be framed, and, consequently, what will be identified as problems with the schools and what will be seen as solutions to those problems.
Aaron Major columnist
I'm not suggesting that the Board of Regents is malicious. It is not the board's
ment that I am questioning, but rather the members' perspectives. We all have a certain perspective, shaped by many things including our job, economic status, level of education, race, gender and so on.
On mts campus, as is probably true with the rest of the country, we recognize the need for diversity when it comes to race and gender. We realize that the perspectives of other groups can help us old issues in new ways and provide creative solutions to many problems.
This attitude towards diversity has not, however, been applied to class. Look around at your national leaders and your boards of governance, and look at who's on them. Most will be business people or professionals and many have served in other leadership functions (i.e.
Congress, chambers of commerce, boards of corporations, etc.)
The pattern found in the Kansas Board of Regents is not an isolated incident, but rather part of a pattern. Last time I checked the Board of Regents at Princeton, most of its 39 members where corporate heads, government officials, or lawyers, including Steve Forbes and representatives of J.P. Morgan, Citibank, The Gap and Landmark Communications.
I know that you may look at this and feel a little helpless in terms of what you can do about it. Well, I'm not going to be much help here because unfortunately these patterns found in higher education reflect the ways in which we structure our society, so the solution touches at the root of the political economy itself.
For starters, the state of Kansas could become a pioneer of progressiveness (needed in light of the evolution decision) and have Regents members elected, not appointed. It's a small step, but an important one in achieving much-needed diversity.
In 1991, former President George Bush set up the New American Schools Development Corporation to reform education as part of his America 2000 program. In this group you had people from Boeing, BellSouth, Honeywell, the American Stock Exchange, Ashland Oil, AT&T, Nabisco, and B.F. Goodrich, to name a few.
Although the "corporateness" of the Kansas Board of Regents pales in comparison to these examples, the same pattern exists. As a society, we have flooded our educational boards of governance with the capitalist class, inextricably the future of education to the future of the global economy.
Major is a Deerfield, N.H., senior in sociology and American studies.
A truly democratic education needs a truly democratic system of governance. We need an education that serves the needs of all people, no matter what their perspectives, instead of serving the needs of some people with a business perspective.

Flag means slavery
John N. Martin out of Charleston, S.C., claims as unbiased history that slavery was not at issue in the Civil War, just the states' rights to control tariffs and taxes, yet at the same time abolitionists caused the war by despising the Southern way of life; also, that the stars and bars doesn't symbolize racism, yet at the same time is used by "immoral if not damnable" elements; and moreover that those who don't buy this self-contradictory mishmash are "ignorant fools" (Kansan, 10/27/99).
Only an ignorant fool would try to tell Kansans to their face that the Civil War did not start in Bleeding Lawrence four years ahead of time, that it did not involve people fighting for and against having slavery within Kansas, that seven years later Quantrell did not fly the stars and bars when he did not burn Lawrence, and that all of this struggle that did not happen in Kansas was based purely on the (anti-slave) federal government taking away the natural rights of the (anti-slave) majority in Kansas to levy tariffs and taxes.
140 years later a minority of white Southerners are still
spouting this defensive claptrap for three main reasons. First, they don't like to admit that some their ancestors perpetrated monumentally evil and dishonorable acts. (So did some of mine, but I don't feel any need to lie about it.) Second, in their hearts they really don't like Black people. And third, they want to be able to say these things symbolically without actually admitting them, by displaying the Confederate battle flag.

Disgruntled employee kills seven at Xerox Corp. in Hawaii
The Associated Press
HONOLULU— An employee opened fire at a Xerox Corp. building yesterday, killing seven coworkers before fleeing in a company van, authorities said. Two hours later, the mayor said police had surrounded a suspect.
The seven were found dead at the building on North Nimitz Highway, a few miles from downtown, after the shootings erupted shortly after noon.
"There are seven fatalities in the building, in various areas of the building," said Richard Soo of the city fire department. Ambulance teams that went into the building found a grisly scene, he said.
Police identified the suspect as Byran Uesugi, describing him as a 15-year Xerox employee and customer service engineer. Sam Anoulack, another Xerox employee, said Uesugi had worked in the building for about 10 years.
Honolulu Mayor Jeremy Harris sald police surrounded the suspect as he sat in a vehicle in Makiki Heights, a residential neighborhood northeast of the shooting scene. It was not immediately clear if the van was the same one that was used to flee.
Deputy Police Chief Mike Carvalho said all of the seven victims were men, Xerox employees who were shot on the second floor of the two-story building. No other people were injured.
"It's a shock for all of us," the mayor said. "We have such a safe community with almost no violent crime. To have someone snap like this and murder seven people is just absolutely appalling."
Uesugi was a member of his high school rifle team and had up to 17 weapons registered in his name. "This could have been much, much worse." Harris said.
Another Xerox building, in downtown Honolulu, had been evacuated as a precaution in case the gunman headed that way.
"This is a tragic event," the company said in a statement. "Our foremost concern is for the safety and security of our employees and for the comfort of the families of the victims."
U.S. turns down bin Laden offer
The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan—Osama bin Laden likely will remain in Afghanistan after the United States rejected an offer by the suspected terrorist to leave for a secret destination, a representative for the ruling Taliban militia said yesterday.
The proposal to resolve the dispute was one of several that apparently are unacceptable to Washington, which is demanding bin Laden be handed to the United States or a third country for trial on charges that he masterminded last year's twin bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa.
The United States has banned trade with or investment in the war-shattered Muslim country, which also faces U.N. sanctions if it does not deliver bin Laden by Nov. 14.
communication with Washington.
The Taliban, wanting to avoid sanctions and shed their pariah state status, have tried to open official lines of
In Washington, a State Department official said yesterday that the United States was willing to resume discussions, not negotiations, with the Taliban concerning U.N. sanctions.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also expressed regret about reports that the Taliban's supreme leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar, had decided to abandon discussions with the United States.
In a satellite telephone interview from the Taliban headquarters in southern Kandahar, representative Tayyab Aga told The Associated Press that bin Laden probably would stay in Afghanistan, despite an offer to leave for a secret destination that he made in a letter to Omar last weekend.
"It is not acceptable to the United States government that Osama simply leave Afghanistan, so that's"
why we think that now he is not going to leave because it will not benefit the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan or him." Aga said.
Aga said Washington also rejected an offer by bin Laden to have his fate decided by a panel of Islamic clerics from Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and a third Muslim country.
In addition, the Taliban have offered to continue restricting bin Laden's movements and place him under the supervision of both Taliban and international monitors. Omar, the Taliban leader, blamed Washington for the dispute.
"Before, the United States said Afghanistan should get rid of bin Laden, and now Osama himself says he is ready to leave Afghanistan, but America says it is not enough," Omar said in a statement "carried Tuesday on Taliban-run Radio Shariat.
"It is unfair and shows that it is not Osama that America is afraid of, but it is Islam." he said.

Let there be light
From religious to decorative uses for candles span cultures

Through history, candles have been made from tallow, beeswax, vegetable wax, spermacet or whale oil and paraffin.

+the capacities of
candlelight are vast.
Centuries before Eadson's light bulb sparked a new era of electric light, Romans used candles to travel after dark and to brighten their homes and places of worship at night. The Dark Ages found illumination in candlelight, and colonial children read books by the light of beeswax candles in early America.
Centuries before Edison's
Although candles are no longer a major light source in most parts of the world, they have remained integral to many religions, and their role in popular culture has evolved, literally taking a new shape.
A group of twisting wax sculptures with wicks stands clustered on a glass counter at Waxman Candles, 609 Massachusetts St. The spiraling columns — rendered in blues, lavenders, oranges, greens and yellows — were handmade by Waxman staff members.
They represent just one of an eclectic sampling of candle styles on the store's sales floor.
Bob Werts, owner and founder of Waxman Candles, opened the store and began selling handcrafted candles in 1970. He said fragrant candles were probably the store's best sellers.
"When you walk into a friend's house where there is a candle burning, the smell immediately hits you," Werts said. "The right fragrance can really relax or irritate you."
"The beauty of candles is that they go away," he said. "You consume them. You can spend $30, and then next year you can do something completely different."
Candles increasingly are being used as ornaments in the home. Werts said candles were attractive options for home decorating because they were ephemeral.
Apart from their decorative appeal, candles commonly are associated with romance, leisure and relaxation.
Candlelight stimulates human emotion and transfixes our eyes. The flame even can symbolize intangible concepts, such as joy, gratitude or prosperity. Candles have long been
used as symbolic devices in religious rituals.
Judy Arnold, Leavenworth senior, said candles played a part in every Jewish holiday because they marked the beginning or end of a sacred time.
A candle-lighting ceremony signals the beginning of Shabbat — the Jewish Sabbath. This holiday of rest and rejuvenation occurs every week, from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.
Arnold said that the ceremony required at least two candles to be lighted, but that some people added more to represent important of their lives, such as family members.
"It's so magnificent to have a table full of lights," she said. "It ushers in a sacred time."
At the end of the 24-hour Sabbath, when the first three stars appear in the night sky, Havdalah takes place. Arnold said that Havdalah meant 'separation' in Hebrew and that the ceremony marked the transition from sacred to profane time. Arnold said that a candle used in this ceremony had to have more than two wicks, so that it outshined the Sabbath light. During the ceremony, wine, fire and spices are blessed.
Perhaps the most widely known Jewish holiday in the United States is Hanukkah, an eight-day festival of lights that takes place in December. Each evening during the festival, another candle is lighted in a chanukiah, a candle holder with eight branches. Arnold said the candles were lighted in ascending order —from right to left— so the light and joy increased as the holiday proceeded.
"You never extinguish the candles," Arnold said. "You simply let them burn out. You're supposed to enjoy the light."
Celebrating with light
It would be nearly impossible not to enjoy the light that radiates from Hindu households during Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights that will be celebrate November 7th this year. Gargi Advaithi, Madras, India, graduate student said that oil lamps had been the traditional means of supplying light for the festival but that some Hindus had replaced the lamps with candles.
"Candles are something very new and contemporary to the Hindu religion," she said. "They are used mostly in urban areas. People in rural areas still tend to use lamps."
During Diwali, Hindus place lamps or candles all around the outsides of their homes and shoot fireworks. Sandeep Misra, Overland Park senior and president of the Cultural India Club grew up in India. He said that his family placed about 60 or 70 candies outside their house, on the roof and in window ledges. Misra said candlelight was used in the festival as a way to welcome prosperity into a person's life. Advaithi added that the light was like a welcome mat for inviting friends, neighbors and good fortune into the home.
"The point is to keep your house very welcome and to celebrate wealth, both material and spiritual," she said. "It's about

opening up doors to people and to the goddess of wealth."
Advaitihai said that apart from Diwali, candles and lamps were used in Hindu homes on a daily basis. Once a day, Hindus light a lamp or candle and pray to God, she said.
"Lighting the lamp is very important," Advaiti said. "It's a way to start something. It signifies basically anything that's prosperous and radiating warmth and light."
In Wicca, a nature-centered, Pagan religion, candles are appreciated for
Casting spells with candles
their form as much as for their function. Wiccans, who call themselves witches, often incorporate candles into their rituals as physical symbols of mental aspirations. Darcie Callahan, Lawrence graduate student, did her master's work on Wicca.
"Candles might be used in certain spells very much the way someone would use prayer," she said. "You're lighting a candle as you're visualizing what you hope to achieve with the spell. The action reinforces what you're visualizing."
She said colors often played a part in the selection of candles for rituals. In many traditional branches of witchcraft, she said, there were four altars, one in each direction representing earth, air, fire and water. Different colored candles might stand for each altar — green or brown for earth (north), yellow for air (east), red for fire (south) and blue for water (west).
Beyond these traditional practices, though, individual witches often develop creative ways to use candles.
For added effect, some Wiccans use candles to layer symbols, she said. Candles are ideal for layering because they vary in shape, color, scent and design. Thus, someone performing a love spell might choose a pink, heart-shaped candle, then lace it with rose-scented oil and carve a Cupid into the wax. The possibilities are endless.
"Many witches practice eclectic Wicca — a kind of free-form style," Callahan said. "Someone doing a prosperity spell might use a green candle to represent money. A love spell might involve a red or pink candle."
"Part of doing any sort of magical work, whether it be casting a spell or meditating, is trying to set a mood," Callahan said. "Candles and incense can often play a big part in setting a mood. They can help someone focus on their meditation."
People have long used candles to set moods.
"The melodic flicker of the flame has been used for centuries to meditate," Werts said. "People are drawn to the tranquility and simpleness of the flame."

Basketball teams score preseason honors
By Matt Tait and Melinda Weaver
sports@kansan.com
<kansan sportswriters>
After being selected as the Big 12 Conference's No. 1 team by the league's coaches last month, the Kansas men's basketball team swept the preseason polls yesterday by being tabbed as the preseason favorites by the media.
The Big 12 women's Associated Press poll was strikingly similar to the coaches' as well, with Iowa State picked to finish first ahead of Kansas.
The Jayhawks' men edged out
second-place Texas by 9 points with 327, and received 17 of 29 possible first-place votes. The Longhorns received 7 and Oklahoma State received 4.
The preseason all-Big 12 men's team mirrored the coaches poll with forwards Marcus Fizer of Iowa State, Desmond Mason of Oklahoma State, Eduardo Najera of Oklahoma, and centers Eric Crenowich of Kansas and Texas' Chris Mihm making the team. Mihm also received preseason player of the year honors.
Kansas point guard Jeff Boschee also received some votes for the squad but did not
make the top five.
Baylor forward Terry Black was selected top newcomer and Kansas forward Nick Collison was the top freshman.
Just as the Jayhawks' first-place selection this season mirrored the coaches' poll, so did the rest of the field. In fact, only two spots differed in the AP poll. The coaches picked Iowa State as sixth and Nebraska as seventh, and the media picked the Cornhuskers as sixth and the Cyclones as seventh.

WILSON
On April 4, 1988, at Kemper Arena,
Manning fittingly ends up with the ball as Kansas' 83-79 win against Oklahoma gives
hawks an improbable NCAA basketball championship. Manning took the ball, tucked it under one arm and ran to celebrate with his teammates after his 31-point, 18-rebound performance.
That high point capped a roller coaster season that included questions about players' eligibility and a four-game losing streak that ended Kansas' thenschool record 55-game winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse.
And the moment never would have happened had Manning — widely thought to have been the top NBA prospect after his junior year — opted to go pro a year early.

"Winning that game validated what Danny thought basketball was all about," said Ted Juneau, who coached Manning for one year at Lawrence High School and stays in regular contact with Manns defining moment, but not his entire legacy as a Jayhawk

Volleyball could make history against Nebraska
By Shawn Hutchinson
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team could have a brush with history in more ways than one tonight.
The Jayhawks face No. 13 Nebraska at 7 p.m. at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center, and a win would be Kansas' first against the Cornhuskers since 1975.

Senior middle blocker Amanda Reves needs just 10 more kills to break Judy Desch's all-time record of 1,146, which was set in 1987. The record would put an exclamation point on Reves' career at Kansas, but that's something she hasn't thought much about lately.

on Sept. 29 in front of 3,011 fans at the Nebraska Coliseum in Lincoln, Neb.
Since then, the Cornhuskers have improved their record to 17-5 and 9-3,
which includes a 3-0 shutout of No. 17 Kansas State on Saturday in
Manhattan, Kan.
"They're playing really well," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "They handed Texas Tech and K-State last week. From what I've seen, they've been playing as well as they have all year."
The Jayhawks hope to play well in front of a capacity crowd. Nearly 600 area high school volleyball players will attend the match, as well as the normal Kansas fan base and any fans that the Cornhuskers bring with them. The large number of fans tonight could easily break the Horejsi Center's attendance record of 1,043 set last month against Baylor.
"I'm looking forward to playing them in Horejsi." Reves said. "They're definitely used to playing in places that have a lot of noise, but we've heard that other Big 12 teams are somewhat
scared to play here."
Volleyball notes
Kansas has an all-time record of 1-62 against Nebraska.
The Jayhawks' lone win came in the first meeting between the two schools on Oct. 17, 1975 at Graceland College.
Kansas has four native Nebraskans on its roster — senior Tori Holtmeier (Plymouth), sophomore Molly LaMere (Papillion), redshirt Elizabeth Herbek (Fairfield) and freshman Kylie Thomas (Sutherland).
■ Senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht pounded 11 kills against Texas on Saturday, giving her 1.083 kills for her career. That moves Albrecht past former teammate Moira Donovan for fourth place on the all-time kills list.

Foosball fans can identify with volleyball predicaments
The Jayhawk volleyball team has a very important game tonight against Nebraska. I, on the other hand, will not write about volleyball this week. I've written more than one column this semester trying to coax people into going to these high-action athletic contests.
Some people are beginning to question my appreciation for the Jayhawk volleyball team. Others simply think I have a crush on senior player Mary Beth Albrecht but won't admit it.

team to former Wichitan still upset about jokes I made about their fine city a year ago. I feel the need for a bodyguard.
So I'm not going to add Mary Beth Albrecht's boyfriend, or any of the volleyball players' boyfriends, to the enemies list.
With my former most loyal reader and bodyguard Ryan Robertson beginning his first season with the Sacramento Kings on the injured reserve list, I'm going to have to calm down and try to anger fewer people in the next couple weeks.
Instead, I'm going to write about a much less volatile sport: foosball.
You know the game. Little soccer players on sticks moving laterally to score goals. A must-have sport for good bars.
"We hit the gym for about 30 minutes every other week," Baxter said. "It's important to maintain quick foot speed as well and hand speed. People don't realize that you can't set your beer on the table in league play, so you have to be able to step to your beer quickly, take a drink, then return to the table before the next ball is dropped."
But did you know that two of the top 50 foosball players in the nation reside here in Lawrence, and more importantly are KU students? Jeff Heiman, Olathe first year law student, and Will Baxter, Osawatomic senior, recently returned from Wheatfield, Ind., the location of the national foosball tournament, where they finished in third place in doubles play.
The most difficult obstacle to overcome is the lack of support for Team Insano, the two say. At the final four competition in Indiana, they only had one person there to see them.
Heiman and Baxter, known on the football circuit as Team Insano, have dominated league play in the great state of Kansas for the past several years. They have taken the state title an unprecedented three times in a row.
"We've been pounding the state teams," Baxter said. "Of course, everybody knows that the competition in the Foosball Association for Kansans Everywhere (FAKE) has been down since the legendary Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka retired."
"Our old high school coach comes to every match," Heiman said. "Coach Chandler Bing has always stuck with us."
The two work hard to maintain proper fooshball shape.
The pair enjoy campus sports as well as playing foosball. Their favorite team is the volleyball team.
"We kind of identify with them, because we think they're exciting to watch, but many people won't give them a chance." Heiman said. "Did you know that they have a game against the 13th ranked team in the nation tonight? Did you know that senior middle blocker Amanda Reves needs just 10 more kills to become the all-time kills leader at KU?"
Oh, by the way, the guys wanted me to remind you that the volleyball game starts at 7 tonight, and it's at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center, directly behind Allen Fieldhouse. Admission is free with a KUID.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 6.
The workload is heavy, and you're being watched. Don't worry about it — you can perform brilliantly under pressure. Besides, the person who's watching may be a talent scout. Prove that you have the right stuff.
Taurus: Today is an 8.

Gemini: Today is a 6.
You may be worried about whether you'll have help when you need it. Don't limit yourself to a few options. Give yourself a backup and an escape route, too. It's OK to hire somebody. It's smart and could even save you money. Don't hesitate.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
You're learning quickly, and you have the support of loved ones. Trust their advice. You're stepping outside your old boundaries a little bit, but that's OK. Go ahead and spread your wings. You may surprise yourself.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Have you been thinking about putting your home on the market? Maybe you could sell something in your home, instead. Don't worry about money anymore; make some. Get rid of something you've outgrown at the same time, and win twice.

Capricorn: Today is a 9.
Keep a low profile, do your job and try not to attract attention. The pedant patrol is out cruising, trying to find a nit to pick. A little of that goes a long way with you, so give them a lot of room. Hide out!
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
Your friend point you toward the good deals. You've been good to them in the past, and you've earned their respect. It's OK to let them do something nice for you now. Graciously accept the compliments and the opportunities.
D
You may feel rather cramped. You're trying to do something, but you don't have enough time, money or influential friends. It may seem like you're invisible. Go back to the drawing board. Present your new improved idea later.

Knicks sign Sprewell to six-year contract
NEW YORK — Latrell Sprewell and the New York Knicks finally ended their long negotiations, with the star guard signing a contract yesterday that is believed to be worth $61.9 million for five years.
Sprewell, who joined the Knicks last season, decided to take the team's long-term contract instead of a two-year, $21 million offer.
"I think if I had taken the two-year, I would have been wondering if it was the right thing," Sprewell said earlier. "In the back of my mind I would have been thinking, 'Let's stay healthy.' I just want to go out and play and not worry about being healthy because my contract is up in a couple of years."

The Rangers received pitchers Justin Thompson, Alan Webb and Francisco Cordero, outfielder Gabe Kapler, catcher Bill Haselman and infielder Frank Catalanotto.
Gonzalez is eligible for free agency after the 2000 season.
Gonzalez, a two-time All-Star outfielder, hit .326 with 39 home runs and 128 RBI this year. He led the Rangers to the AL West titles in 1996, 1998 and 1999, yet all three seasons ended in disappointment as each time they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the eventual World Series champion New York Yankees.
Gonzalez was considered a lock to be one of the reserves chosen for July's All-Star game in Boston, but he told reporters that he would not play in the classic unless he was voted in as a starter by the fans.

Fans remember Payton as lifelong idol
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Flags at half staff whipped in the cold November wind outside Soldier Field yesterday following news of the death of former Bear's running back, Walter Payton.
"There aren't many players one can idolize as a child and still look up to them as an adult. Walter is one of the few," Sandy Fox of Chicago wrote in a message posted on the Chicago Bears' Web site.
Payton, the NFL's career rushing leader, died Monday of bile duct cancer that was discovered during treatment
for a rare liver disease. He was 45.
The Bears opened a gate at Soldier Field, and some fans dropped off bouquets and cards. More sent flowers to Payton's restaurant in suburban Aurora. At Mike Ditka's Restaurant, fans signed condolence cards and were encouraged to become organ donors.
Just north of Soldier Field on Lake Shore Drive, Mike Liberles brought his Crane High School class to the Field Museum's exhibit on Bears' history.
"I never missed a game when Payton was playing," Lersle said.
His students, too young to remember Payton the running back, spoke
of the man they knew through his charity work and the publicity surrounding his illness.
Payton brought glory back to a city that had gone more than two decades without a sports championship when the Bears won the Super Bowl in 1986.
"You get disillusioned," said Mike Houllihan, a Chicago writer and lifelong Bears fan who remembers watching the team win the NFL championship when he was an eighth-grader in 1963.
"Somebody like Walter Payton comes along and you get reborn as a fan," he said.
Men's team takes top spot for third time
Continued from page 1B
This year marks the third time in four years that the media has selected Kansas's men's team as the preseason favorites. In 1996, the Big 12's inaugural year, and 1997 Kansas was picked to finish first. Both times the Jayhawks delivered, winning the conference crown. Last year, Oklahoma State, ultimately tied for fifth, was picked to win the conference. Kansas tied for second.
The Iowa State women's basketball team was an overwhelming favorite to win the conference in the media poll, followed by Kansas at second. Kansas received two first-place votes.
"It's not a big surprise," Washington said. "A number of teams could fit into the upper echelon, but it's good that we are predicted to be a part of the conference race. I just learn not to get caught up in the polls. Right now, I just want to focus on taking care of ourselves and putting ourselves in position where we can contend for the title."
Kansas women's coach Marian Washington said that she was not surprised by the results, which were almost identical to the coach's poll.
The media picked Stacy Freese of Iowa State as Big 12 Player of the Year. She was joined on the all-Big 12 Team by Lynn Pride of Kansas, Edwina Brown of Texas, Nicole
Kubik of Nebraska and Phylesha Whaley of Oklahoma.
As a junior, Pride led the team in scoring with 17.1 points per game, rebounds with 7.2, steals with 2.7, blocks 0.7 and minutes with 33.7. During the summer, she played a key role in USA Pan American Games as one of only two collegiate athletes, averaging 12.9 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.
"Pride is one of the top players not only in the conference but in the country." Washington said. "It is good to see her recognized by the conference. She's a true Kodak All-American candidate."

'Hawks improve defensive play
By Ryan Malashock Special to the Kansan
The shutout of Missouri and the 24-17 loss to Nebraska on Saturday are evidence the Kansas defense has shown improvements during the past two weeks.
The Jayhawks played six straight quarters without allowing a point, the team's longest streak of the season. Earlier this season, they had been allowing an average of 35 points per game.
Anchoring the Jayhawks' defense has been the dominating play of the defensive line. Seniors Dion Rayford, John Williams, Dion Johnson and sophomore Nate Dwyer form the core of the interior defensive line. Their duties include stopping the run, rushing the quarterback, opening
holes for linebackers and setting the defensive tone. Lately, they've been doing that and more.
Coach Terry Allen was quick to praise the play of the defensive line when asked of the defense's recent success.
"The defensive line has really played really well." Allen said. "They've been getting off blocks, pressuring the quarterback and protecting the linebackers. The two Dions (Rayford and Johnson) have played much better the last two weeks."
During the first half of the Nebraska game, the Jayhawks defense shut out the Cornhuskers and gave up only 69 yards. The tenacious play of the defensive line not only has helped in the trenches, but also assisted the entire defense.
"The linebackers are being helped by the guys up front, and the secondary is being helped by the guys up front." Allen said.
John Williams, a three-year starter along with Rayford and Johnson, said the line had been playing better because there was more trust among the players.
Being in a comfort zone as a team and being friends on and off the field also has contributed to the defensive line's success.
"I'm sensing a closeness between us that hasn't been there before," Williams said. "We're really getting comfortable with each other."
While Rayford has been pleased with the defensive line's production the past two weeks, he doesn't see the Jayhawks defense losing any motivation.
"We're looking forward to getting some revenge on Baylor," Rayford said. "Last year was a fluke. We won't be taking them lightly."
Sophomore linebacker Marcus Rogers will start his second consecutive game for the Jayhawks against Baylor. Junior linebacker Dariss Lomax, who injured his knee during the Missouri game, will play against Baylor.
Special teams players Chad Coellner and Victor Bullock, who suffered concussions during the Nebraska game, probably will not play in Saturday's game.

Talent shared throughout Big 12 teams
By Michael Rigg

Kansas sportwriter
With the end of the Big 12 Conference football season lingering in the not-so-distant future, seven conference teams still have chances to appear in the conference's championship game.
In the title game, the winner of the North Division will meet the South Division winner to determine the conference's top team. This year is the closest division race in the conference's brief history, as the league has boasted runaway division champions in the conference's first three years.
The close race can be attributed to a number of factors, but most Big 12 coaches agree conference parity is the key to the close race.
"People don't want to hear about the 'P' word, parity, but it's here," said Texas coach Mack Brown. "We're now going to see more and more upsets. Now, you better play each game like it's your season."
Nebraska coach Frank Solich,
whose team is in second place in
the North with a 4-1 conference record, echoed Brown's sentiments.
"I think it's true that parity is showing more and more every year," Solich said. "The teams that people are used to beating up on now have some very good players." Last weekend perennial conference cellar-dweller Iowa State nearly knocked off Texas in the Longhorns's 44-41 victory, and Kansas nearly upset the Cornhuskers.
Nebraska
Three days following the Cornhuskers' 24-17 victory against
the Jayhawks, Solich remained impressed with Kansas' effort and the overall direction of the Jayhawks' program.
"Kansas is a
N
Kansas is a much-improved football team," Solich said. "They are playing their best football of the year right now."
Still, Solich continued to lambaste the Corhuskers' first-half effort against Kansas, in which the Javahays' pulled out to a 9-0 lead.
"We came out with not very much emotion in the first half," Solich said. "We knew Kansas was the type of football team that could put us in a bind like that."
Wildcat coach Bailor Snyder entered the Bavlor locker room following the Bears' 48-7 loss to K-State on Saturday. The reason? Snyder wanted to congrat-

ulate Baylor for its valiant effort in the second half against the Wildcats.
"I appreciate the fact they hung in there," Snyder said. "I've been where (Bears' coach) Kevin Steele has been, looking to improve the program."

"The only positive in the whole thing was we went in at halftime and made some adjustments and came out and kept it from being embarrassing." Steele said.

Manning stats still top charts
Continued from page 1B
With 2,561 points, he is Kansas's all-time leader (8th in NCAA history) and owner of the school's two-highest single-season totals.
He's also Kansas' all-time leader in rebounds (1,187) and field goals (1,216), second in free throws (509) and steals (270), and third in blocked shots (200).
He was the 1988 consensus player of the year, a two-time consensus All-American, three-time Big 8 Conference Player of the Year and the No. 1 pick overall in the 1988 NBA draft.
And that's just the beginning. Manning's career statistics can be found near the top of almost every Kansas, many Big 8, and some national charts.
"He has this magnetic charisma that everyone enjoyed," said Jeff Johnson, who played with Manning at Lawrence High and two years at Kansas. "It was a thrill to play with him, but I don't think any of us — in high school or at KU — were in awe of him because he's so down to earth."
Said Monte Johnson, Jeff's dad and Kansas' athletics director during Manning's recruitment and first three collegiate seasons: "He's one of the most polite, thoughtful people I've met in athletics. He's been a friend ever since he arrived here. He was raised by parents who required him to be more than just an athlete."
When Manning decided to finish his career at Kansas, it wasn't for a national championship. With Oklahoma powering the conference, the Jayhawks weren't even considered the best team in the Big 8.
Manning talked more about his education than basketball when he made his decision.
"That really surprised no one who knew Danny," Monte Johnson said. "He wanted to show that he could get his degree. He didn't come here just to play basketball, and he accomplished a lot of things that guys who go pro early usually don't do."
manning also has used his degree in communications through his partnership at Sport-2-Sport, a multi-purpose recreational center at 5200 Clinton Parkway. He provided some financial backing for the center's construction, and he regularly holds his
"Danny has a real spot for young kids, and what he feels they need to be involved in to stay on that narrow and focused path," said Roger Morningstar, Sport2-Sport president. "He does a lot of things for a lot of people that he doesn't want publicized."
annual summer basketball camp at the building. He also has set up a recreational league for selected area talent.
In many ways, Manning is the opposite of the professional athlete stereotype. By all accounts, he is a loving husband and father. He doesn't publicly complain about playing time or his scoring average. He didn't complain after tearing an ACL his rookie season with the Los Angeles Clippers and doesn't publicly wonder how good he might have been if healthy.
He even turned down a lucrative free agent offer from the Atlanta Hawks in 1995 to play with the Phoenix Suns for substantially less money, citing comfort with the organization and a better chance to win.
"My family will be fine," he said at the time. "It's not like we're going to have to worry where our next meal's coming from."
Manning then suffered a season-ending knee injury, but still, no complaints.
"That's just how he is," Junean said. "He cares more about the team than he does individual performance, and that's sincere."
Nobody appreciated that attitude more than Manning's coaches.
"He could have acted like a superstar, not listened to coaches and just played for himself," Juneau said. "But he didn't. If anything, he was too unselfish at times. There were times that I — and I know coach (Larry) Brown felt the same way — just wanted him to be more assertive and selfish. But being the superstar was not in his character, he just wanted to fit in."
Brown said during Manning's career at Kansas, "It's not an equal opportunity sport when you're that talented."
Manning eventually did become more assertive. He averaged 24.8 points in 1987-88 and his 653 field goal attempts were just seven behind Clyde Lovellette's school record. Those are fitting numbers for someone Johnny Orr, who coached Iowa State

during Manning's Kansas career, said was the greatest player he'd ever coached against."
"They took off during that NCAA run when Danny really decided to take charge," Juneau said. "Everyone knew he was a very special player, and when he really asserted himself, that's when that team took off."
Manning averaged more than 27 points per game in Kansas's six NCAA tournament victories in 1988.
"He just did whatever they needed whenever they needed it," Monte Johnson said. "And that really defined who he was, he was the best athlete and the best player on the floor every time they played. People will remember that about him because of the way he took that team and led it. That's what people will remember, but there's so much more to him off the basketball court that's just as wonderful."
Sophomores to lead Colorado
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansas sportwriters
Kansan sportswriter
In fact, the Buffaloes have only one upperclassman on the team, junior center Kami Carmann.
While other Big 12 Conference teams will rely on seasoned seniors to lead their teams, the Colorado women will rely on a class of sophomores to lead it to the NCAA tournament.
After the 1989-98 season, point guard Nikki Weddle, center Melody Johnson, forward Nikki Swagger and forward Chaquita Dilworth transferred to other universities.
"The thing that is unique about us as compared to the other teams in the Big 12 is our youth," Coach Ceal Barry said. "We look at it as a positive. The lack of experience won't hurt us. I think we should improve at a pretty good rate."
Last season, Colorado finished with a 15-14 record, 7-9 in the Big 12, but missed an NCAA tournament bid.
Barry said she hoped to improve this season, but quickness would be the biggest problem facing the team.
"We aren't as quick laterally," Barry said. "We are fast up and down the floor, just not laterally. And our lack of experience could be considered a weakness."
The Buffaloes will build from a sophomore class that includes Linda Lappe, (10.7 points per game last season), Britt Hartshorn (8.7 ppg), Mandy Nightengale (6.8 ppg) and Jenny Loulier (7.0 ppg).
They also added four newcomers, including two inside forces, 6-foot-2 Sabrina Scott and 6-foot-4 Virgine Depinep.
"We have a very good balance," Barry said. "We

are a good shooting team and can score from a lot of different spots on the floor. Our focus is good, and we have very few distractions. We have six players who have been in the lineup for one year." Carmann said that she did not think the lack of
Carmann said that she did not think the lack of experience would cause too much of a problem.
"The team is very balanced, and that has carried over into the leadership role." Carmann said. "We are showing a maturity beyond our years and have very balanced leadership throughout the team."
"We are not out of the mix," Barry said. "Last season, we didn't step up in the last five minutes of the game when we could have won. We showed last year that we could step up and agree with everyone."
Barry said she believed that this team could compete well in the Big 12.

Buffs may not be easy competition
By Matt Tait sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Then along came local player Chauncey Billups and new coach Ricardo Patton, and in just two years that tandem took the Buffs from the basement to the NCAA tournament in 1997 and a first-round win against perennial power Indiana.
In years past, opponents looked at a bout with Colorado as a glamorized scrimmage. Try as they might, the Buffaloes just couldn't win. And what's more, they didn't have much talent.
"I think in the past teams looked at Colorado as if it was an easy win," Patton said. "And I don't think that's the perception anymore."
Patton, now in his fourth full season as Colorado's coach, said that one of the main reasons his team was now able to compete with teams such as Kansas and Texas is because of Colorado's guard play.
"I think guard play is huge," he said. "If you have solid guard play, you can compete even with those teams that have great inside games. Obviously there are terrific players in the conference, but I'll take my chances with those two guards (senior Jaquay Walls and sophomore Jose Winston) against other teams in the conference."
Walls returns as Colorado's leading scorer from last year. In 33 games he averaged 11.7 points and connected on 31 percent of his three-point shots. He heated up during Big 12 Conference play as his scoring average increased to 15.8 points per game in the Buffalooes last 13 games. His stats helped earn him honorable mention All-Big 12 honors.
While much of the burden of replacing scoring threat Kenny Price will fall on Walls, senior forward Will Smith said that he thought the entire
COLORADO MEN'S BASKETBALL
Last year: 18-15 overall,7-9 in Big 12 play; lost in the second round of the NIT to Colorado State.
Key players returning: Senior guard Jaquay Walls (11.7 ppg, 3.2 rpg, and 4 assists per game), senior forward Will Smith (7.6 rpg, 4.0 rpg) and junior forward Jamahl Mosley (10.1 ppg, 6.7 rpg)
Key players lost: Guard Kenny Price (14.6 ppg, 4.3 rpg) Outlook: The Buffalooes were picked to finish 10th last season and found themselves tied for seventh at the end of the year. The team's core of 8 returning players that saw significant playing time will have to pick up the slock to replace Kenny Price's instant offense, but, if they do, a Big 12 crown and an NCAA tournament berth could be a realistic goal.
roster was ready to step up their play.
"We're a close-knit group, and we have so many players that can play so many positions — this is probably the best team I've been on at Colorado," said Smith, who played with Billups.
Colorado returns 66 percent of its scoring, nearly 80 percent of its rebounding and three starters from last year. Smith, one of only two seniors on the squad, returns as the team's most experienced leader, but he said that anyone on the team had the capability of being a leader on or off the court.
Walls said that this team had the talent to be good, but that it was just a matter of staying focused, positive and doing it.
"Anybody can compete," Walls said. "We want to win, and we want to get to the NCAA tournament, and I think we have a shot."

KU Bookstores join lawsuit challenging online store
By Nathan Willis
By Nathan Willis
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff write
The KU Bookstores in the Kansas and Burge Unions are taking part in a lawsuit filed last Friday that accused online bookseller VarsityBooks.com of deceptive advertising practices.
Mike Reid, KU Bookstores manager, said VarsityBooks.com has had misleading ads since it was established in December 1997.
"Some people will believe them," he said. "But what they buy may or may not be an actual savings."
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court by the National Association of College Sellers, which represents more than 3,000 higher education retailers including the KU Bookstores, claimed that VarsityBooks.com rarely delivered the 40 percent discount on textbooks promised in many of its advertisements, including ads in the Kansan and ads written in chalk on campus sidewalks at the University of Kansas.
The suit also charged that the suggested price VarsityBooks.com used to contrast its prices was misleading because VarsityBooks.com identified the suggested price as the price publishers suggested that bookstores charge for new textbooks.
Reid agreed.
But in reality, the suit says, publishers don't give suggested prices for textbooks.
"The largest markup we have on any new book is 25 percent," he said. "So it's hard to believe they'd be selling these books below cost."
The petitioners are requesting that VarsityBooks.com stop using the allegedly misleading ads and post a public apology on its Web site.
Reid said VarsityBooks.com's advertising campaigns on campus had hurt the KU Bookstores.
However, Jon Kaplan,
VarsityBooks.com's vice president, said
the company had done nothing wrong.
"This lawsuit is completely without merit." Kaplan said.
Jeff Carlson, Plymouth, Minn., senior and VarsityBooks.com's lead campus representative, agreed with Kaplan and said that because college bookstores rarely had to deal with competition in the past, this might be their reaction to competition.
"Our company is trying to save students like myself money," he said. "The bookstores have been ripping off people for years and aren't used to competition."
Kaplan said the ads weren't misleading because the company's advertising actually used the words "up to 40 percent" discount. The company will fight the lawsuit, he said.
VarsityBooks.com's advertising campaign also generated controversy earlier this semester when it came under criticism from the provost as part of a wave of commercial sidewalk writings.

Edwards Campus to offer B.A., B.S.
By Julie Gumon
Special to the Kansan
The University of Kansas Edwards Campus will accommodate undergraduate students and graduate students in the next millennium.
Future students to the Edwards Campus will have the opportunity to obtain a bachelor's degree from the Overland Park branch of the University.
In Fall 2001, the University will implement the first of several undergraduate degree completions programs at the Edwards Campus.
"The next quantum leap in our enrollment will stem from these bachelor's degree completion programs," said Bob Clark, dean of the Edwards Campus. "We are also planning for a fourth area of study, but it hasn't been decided yet."
The first program will be in English, while degree completions programs in biology and software development will follow. Clark said.
The Edwards Campus only offers graduate instruction now, but the new programs will allow students with two-year degrees or previous undergraduate work to complete their University degree in Johnson County.
Pete Casagrande, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and a professor of English, humanities, and Western Civilization, is working with University staff on the English and biology degree completion programs.
"The biology program is scheduled for the fall semester of 2002, but sooner if possible," Casagrande said.
The start date for the software development program still is undetermined. Casagrande said the University chose English and biology because they were strong, popular majors
at the Lawrence campus.
"We don't want to set up competition for the Lawrence campus," Casagrande said. "If these programs have big appeal here, they will there."
In the meantime, the process of implementing the degree completion programs is underway.
"It all starts with the department." Casagrande said. "The faculty must develop the curriculum and provide interested staff willing to teach at the Edwards Campus."
Once a department develops and approves the curriculum, it goes to the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and Advising for review and suggestions. Then the College Assembly gives further review and comments, Casagrande said. The programs also will be reviewed by the Board of Regents.
"These are KU programs that will undergo the same scrutiny as the other campuses,"
Casagrado said. "The quality will be every bit as high as here because we staff them and create them in the same way."
Johnson County Community College will partner with the University on the degree programs. Casagrande said the University had spoken with Kansas City Kansas Community College to create a similar partnership.
Dan Radakovich, vice president of academic affairs at Johnson County Community College, said the programs would benefit the county and the entire metro area.
"It's an exciting thing for us and our students," Radakovich said. "Our counseling staff can work with students right from the start so they can have a long-term goal in mind and take the appropriate courses to meet that goal."

Exceptions can be made to accommodate school for students facing jail
By Katie Hollar writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
When Greg Lewis was arrested last September, his first concern was not his schoolwork.
"It sucked," he said. "You miss class. You miss labs. It's pretty hard for any of that to be a positive experience."
But the Norfolk, Va., junior soon accumulated a number of class absences after bond arrangements, court appearances and meetings with his attorney.
Lewis was arrested for aggravated assault after he drove his car into an anti-abortion display on Daisy Hill. He later was formally charged with criminal damage and sentenced to one year of probation.
Student suspects such as Lewis can find themselves dealing not only with attorneys and bail, but also with professors and missed tests. In many cases, arrangements are made to balance the classroom and the jail cell.
"Students come through our office, unfortunately quite often," said Douglas County District Attorney Christine Tonkovich.
Tonkovich said most offenses involving students were punishable by diversion or probation, but special accommodations could be made for students who were sentenced to jail time. Courts can schedule jail time for weekends or vacations, and in some cases, house arrest is an option.
Tonkovich said adjustments such as these were not automatic just because a person was a student.
Depending on the nature of the offense, the court system may work around a student's class schedule. Courts can arrange for
"It depends on the nature of the crime and whether they have any priors," she said. "But arguably, staying in school would make someone more productive."
Tonkovich said another consideration was that many students were not from this community, so courts would attempt to arrange a jail stay for when the individual would be in town.
"It's easier to work around employers than school," she said. "Individuals don't leave the community when they get done with work. They might go back to
She said the same arrangements could be made for individuals with full-time employment.
Lawrence or Kansas City, but they don't go back to Texas."
Lewis said his professors were willing to let him make up work, and they were more flexible than the court system.

Barry Shank, associate professor of American studies.
said he had never been approached by a student who missed class for jail.
"I guess I'd ask them what they were in jail for," Shank said. "I'd probably let them make it up."

Apartment-for-rent signs are visible nearly everywhere in Lawrence — taped to front porches, displayed at apartment complexes and pegged into front lawns.
Area realtors and apartment owners agree that more rental space is available this semester than in the past five years, creating more vacancies, making it more difficult for some landlords to attract tenants and, in some cases, lowering prices to be more competitive.
The apartment market has struggled to adjust to recent additions, including the 13-building Jefferson Commons, 1410 Kasold Drive.
Although some say the apartment market is saturated and overbuilt, builders still have more rental units in store for Lawrence.
A second developer, MAC Investment LLC, plans to construct Freedom Creek, a 54-unit duplex complex, north of Overland Apartments.
Developer James P. Koehlen plans to open Overland Apartments, a 104-unit complex with duplexes and apartments, in the fall of 2000. The apartments' proposed location is at Overland Drive and Folks Road near Free State High School.

Seattle gunman kills 2 injures 3 in shooting
SEATTLE — A gunman opened fire yesterday in a commercial building, killing two people and wounding three others. A search was under way for the attacker.
Police used dogs and helicopters in the hunt through the largely residential Wallingford neighborhood. Residents were told to stay in their houses, while children at 20 schools were locked inside for part of the day before they were sent home.
Seattle Mayor Paul Schell asked the public to help and to be careful.
"Check on your neighbors, check on senior citizens, check on your premises," he said.
Investigators were not ruling out that the suspect fled by boat.
The shooting happened about 10:30 a.m. in an office at the Northlake Shipyard building on the north shore of Lake Union, police said.
"He walked in and started shooting. That's all we know," said Pam McCammon, a police representative.
McCammon, a police representative. The suspect, described as possibly in his 30s, was wearing a camouflage jacket and brown hat when he walked in a back door of a business and started firing a gun, police said.
Two men died and three others were wounded. McCammon said.
Shuttle's engine problem may delay launch again
NASA representative Joel Wells said yesterday that one of the three main engines must be replaced because of a broken drill bit that was found in a coolant chamber of the engine. He did not know when the bit was found or how it got there.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Discovery's upcoming flight to the Hubble Space Telescope may be delayed yet again, this time because of an engine problem.
Discovery is scheduled to blast off Dec. 2 on a 10-day mission to carry up crucial replacement parts for Hubble. Shuttle managers were
scheduled to meet yesterday to review the launch date.
Wells said it will take 10 days to replace the engine. The work likely will be done at the launch pad.
Federal officials look into alleged radio bribes
LOS ANGELES — Federal officials are investigating radio programmers at nearly 80 stations who alleged to bake toys to play songs, the Los Angeles Times reported yesterday.
The new inquiry stems from a two-year payola investigation of Fonovisa Inc., the nation's largest Spanish-language music label, which admitted to paying up to $1 million to programmers.
"As in any other bribery investigation, what we are doing is following the money, and we plan to follow it where it leads," said Richard Robinson, an assistant U.S. attorney in Los Angeles.
Investigators say other record companies also may have paid programmers to promote their artists, but the Justice Department has refused to identify any.
Mexican media giant Grupo Televisa, which owns Fonovisa, reported the illegal activities and cooperated with authorities.
In September, Fonovisa, its president and promotion's chief pleaded guilty to federal charges relating to payola and were fine a total of $950,000.

Armenian parliament elects new members
YEREVAN, Armenia — Parliament on Tuesday elected a new speaker and two deputy speakers to fill the seats left empty after gunmen burst into the assembly's chamber and killed seven people.
The election marked a first step in bringing the country's political life back to normal following last Wednesday's shootings.
Members of parliament elected deputy Armen Khachatrian of the People's Party as speaker. Khachatrian, 42, replaces Karen Demirchian, who was shot dead by the gunmen while on the assembly's podium.
Parliament also voted in Tigran Torosyn, of the Republican Party, and Gagik Aslantyan of the People's Party. They will replace deputy speakers Yuri Bakhshian and Ruben Miroi, who were both killed in the attack.
The gunmen who stormed parlament are in jail and were charged with the murders on Monday.

Marshall, Rhodes nominees to be honored at reception
By Amanda Kaschube
Two students and two recent graduates of the University of Kansas will be honored tonight for their academic achievements and their nominations for the Rhodes and Marshall scholarships.
Kansan staff writer
The reception, which will be at 5 p.m. at the Malott Room in the Kansas Union, will be more like a party for the students, said Barbara Schowen, professor of chemistry and Honors Program adviser.
"They are all wonderful students, and they all should win," she said. "They are every bit as good as the other candidates. They are all going to go on to do wonderful things with their lives."
The nominees for the scholarships from the University are Jay Sexton, Salina senior in history and English; Jackson Martin, Abilene senior in political science; Amie Kruse, 1999 graduate who is studying law at Harvard University; and Jennifer Harrison, 1998 graduate who is working on a masters of international management at Denver University.
Both Rhodes and Marshall scholarship nominees will go through a rigorous interview process before the winners are announced on Dec. 4.
Because only 32 students are named Rhodes scholars and 40 are named Marshall scholars, the competition is tough. Schowen said.
But Martin said being nominated still was an honor for him.
KU students have won 23 Rhodes and six Marshall scholarships. Rhodes scholarships are for study at Oxford University while Marshall scholarships may be used at any British University.
The nomination looks pretty good considering a lot of people from KU could have been nominated, he said. "I think it will be hard to differentiate between all the nominees during the interviews."

Professor to appear on C-SPAN
By Amanda Kaszube
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Phillip Paludan's love and knowledge of Abraham Lincoln has landed him on television for the second time.
Paludan, professor of history,
will be featured on C-SPAN's
Presidency series that documents
the life and times of the
American presidents from
George Washington to Bill
Clinton.
"I did my interview last week," he said. "I always feel a little intimidated when there is a television camera looking at you. I was a little tonguetied."
Jessica Pigza, publicity manager for the University, said C-SPAN had not set a date for Paludan's segment, but she thought it would air in January 2000.
the University, was selected to appear on the Lincoln presidency segment because of his award-winning 1994 book, The Presidency of Abraham

He said C-SPAN had been choosing several scholars to appear in the presidential se gments because the scholars had studied the subject matter for a long time.

Paludan: interviewed about Abraham Lincoln
raudan won the Lincoln Award four years ago that is given for prestigious studies in the field.
Carl Strikwerda, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences and professor of history, said Paludan's recognition
reconfirmed his stature as a professor.
"Phillip is one of the most recognized authors on the Civil War and the Lincoln presidency, he said. "He is a nationally known scholar in the field."
A few weeks ago, C-SPAN traveled to Abilene and visited the Dwight D Eisenhower library. It then traveled to Lawrence to look at the University's collection of presidential books, Pizza said.
"They are doing a huge focus on the presidencies, and they have been going around the country and visiting scholars to talk about each one," she said. "They were very interested in our series of books."
During the 25-minute interview, Paludan discussed the technical aspects of the Lincoln presidency as well as his limitations in obtaining equal rights for all citizens.
"The segments feature a
study of each presidency and the major events surrounding them," he said. "They asked scholars to talk about it, and they also have a call-in session where people can ask the speaker questions."
"The highlight was when Sandra Day O'Connor introduced me," he said.
Paludan's knowledge of Lincoln earned him an appearance on C-SPAN in 1994, when he lectured on the president to the Supreme Court Historical Society. But that wasn't his favorite memory of the day.
When Paludan's newest segment does air, the University will gain more exposure in the public eye, said John Sweets, professor of history and colleague of Paludan
"I'm sure people will watch," he said. "It's a good thing for the University to get recognition about this."

False alarm
Dole Human Development Center was evacuated yesterday after a false fire alarm was pulled by an unknown person at 1:20 PM on the second floor.
A series of false fire alarms at McColllom Hall has led the KU Public Safety Office to issue a crime alert.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said that between 11:15 p.m. Oct. 22 and 2:35 a.m. Oct. 30 four pull stations were activated, causing the evacuation of McColum.
"There is no evidence at the time that would suggest these four incidents are related," Bailey said. "Our department doesn't have any suspects at the time, but the investigation is still ongoing."
Bailey said anyone with information on possible suspects should call either the KU Public Safety Office at 864-5900 or KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888.

Minnesota warns KU of PeopleSoft glitches
By Nathan Willis
by Nathan Willis
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
The University of Minnesota has some advice for the University of Kansas as it prepares to upgrade its computer systems to new software called PeopleSoft.
"It's going to be enormously hard," said Minnesota's Associate Vice President Bob Kvavik. "You'd better be prepared for that."
Kvavik knows from experience. His university is close to finishing a similar campuswide upgrade to PeopleSoft
And there have been problems, he said. Lots of them.
Kvavik is not alone in his complaints. In an Oct. 3 article, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that administrators around the country were complaining about delays, bugs and cost overruns with PeopleSoft projects. This led to an apology from PeopleSoft's chief executive officer, David Duffield, to its users in September, the Chronicle reported.
Amidst all this, however, administrators at KU say they are confident the University can steer clear from other universities' problems as they continue what will be a campuswide installation of PeopleSoft.
The software had errors that prevented tuition bills from going out on time, and students' financial aid checks were delayed by seven weeks, he said.
"We had quite a few unhappy students," Kvavik said. "PeopleSoft has not been able to deliver what they've promised. They are not giving us well-tested, stable pieces of software."
To top it off, he now estimates the upgrade will cost the university $53 million - $10.3 million more than projected and the project is three months behind schedule, he said.
And so far, they're right.
Admissions, the first of five PeopleSoft modules to be installed, went online Oct. 4 on time, on budget and with no major hitches, said Richard Morrell, University Registrar. Since then, there have been no major problems, and he said he expects the rest of the installations to go smoothly.
However, Kvavik said installation of admissions software went smoothly at Minnesota, too.
"What didn't run very nice was the financial aid part," he said.
Still, Morrell said the University should be able to avoid problems experienced by others. An in-house staff of 70 has been preparing for the installations since 1997, when the University bought the software for $2.3 million, he said.
Morrell said that eliminated the need to hire many outside consultants who can charge hundreds of dollars per hour, which largely was responsible for Minnesota's and other schools' cost overruns, Kvavik said.
The University also has a much looser installation timeframe than other schools, because it doesn't have to install the software to make its systems Y2K-compliant, Morrell said. That allows for more thorough testing before the system goes online, he said.
The software offers huge advantages, he said. For instance, the new admissions software will allow students to apply by using the Internet. When the new enrollment software is installed, students will be able to enroll in courses online.
Kvavik said that out of the options available, PeopleSoft was probably the best despite the problems.
"If we had to do it again, we'll pick peopleSoft," he said. "It's just a shame the company has delivered buggy products."

New hate crime legislation unfairly places more value on minority life
Intolerance and hatred are two of the biggest problems our society is facing, but new federal hate crime legislation would do little to stop either of them. Legislation designed to deter "hate crimes" through tougher sentencing and more rigorous prosecution is vain political rhetoric and will not solve the problem. What we need are efforts that address tolerance and protect all members of society equally.
The new hate crime legislation is unfair and puts an unequal value on life in society. If someone commits a capital crime, such as murder, against any member of society, he should be held accountable for it regardless of who they are. For our laws to be legitimate, all members of society must be treated equally.
Is a violent act only hateful when it is committed against a marginal group?
Under the new hate crime bill, that is not the case. If someone with an ethnic minority background, religious preference or alternative sexual lifestyle is the victim of a capital offense, his or her predators can be more vigorously prosecuted and sentenced. This is unjust because it places a higher value on the lives of minorities and assumes that the crimes committed against them are inherently worse.
The legislation would give the federal government the right to prosecute
hate crimes separately from the prosecution of the state. This means an alleged criminal essentially could be tried twice for the same crime in two different courts.
We have an obligation to protect those members of society who are targeted for violence. But what is a hate crime? Is a violent act only hateful when it is committed against a marginal group? A violent act is inherently a hate crime; therefore, we need to protect society across the board. We should not hold up one or two particular groups as worthy of protection. We should take steps through education to instill tolerance and prevent violence and hate crimes against any member of society.

Football parking causes headaches
When thousands of football fans descend on the Hill for home games, the situation can be best described as organized chaos.
Despite obvious strains on parking resources, which are limited, there are a few game-day issues that can be addressed.
A section of the Hill is transformed into a parking lot for football-goers. Although the Parking Department only allows permit-holders to park on the grass when conditions are dry, damage can occur under any conditions. It is ridiculous that a school that prides itself on aesthetic beauty would jeopardize the Hill's natural beauty for a few extra parking
Allowing parking on the Hill during games jeopardizes its famed natural beauty
spaces.
Game-day parking also inconveniences students, particularly those who live in scholarship halls. In order to assure alumni parking spots near the chancellor's home for pregame parties, the Parking Department blocks Lilac Lane as early as 6 a.m.
and in lots near Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall on game days. Students' lives do not stop for a football game, and illegally parked cars can be a significant hassle for students who paid $75 to park in those lots.
This problem is compounded by a flood of cars without proper permits parking in Alumni Place parking lots
The Parking Department's manpower and resources are spread thin during football games. Everyone should expect some minor hassles with parking and traffic. At the same time, it's time that the Parking Department and University remember, when accommodating the alumni and visitors who flood campus, that this University is about students, and their needs should be considered.

Jen Barlow columnist opinion@kansan.com
My friends and family have even gone so far as to take me aside and warn me that I easily could fall into more troubled relationships. So many stupid
things are done in the name of love. I'm getting wiser, though — heartbreak does that to a person.
I used to get easily frustrated with silly girls who stayed in troubled relationships because the were "in love." That is, I thought they were silly until I landed in the same situation.
Remember, though, that physical abuse is not the only factor in relationship problems. Certain actions and specific words often can be more piercing to the soul than physical harm.
Any rational person simply could think that those who are truly in love do not do harmful things to each other. However, love is not a logical force. Those who have been in love before can attest that love is an overwhelming feeling that cannot truly be understood. (Don't even attempt to give me some physiological explanation. I won't buy it.)
I chose to break off a past relationship when I realized I could no longer be proud of my lover. I became unable to brag about how beautiful, artistic or intelligent he was because I stopped
seeing him that way. I was too caught up in trying to appear more desirable than the other girl (to whom he's now engaged). This started a jealous war of ownership rather then us actually caring for each other.
A different relationship taught me that although it's right to love someone unconditionally, it's wrong to completely ignore yourself in the process. His words could fill me with pleasure and then swiftly become unimaginably cruel. Eventually, my bitterness toward him dulled his poetic lyrics, and I moved on.
I have no doubt that I really loved both of these men through it all; it was just that the relationship wasn't healthy.
Actually, my ex's flaws seem benign in comparison to the situation of my friend. I try not to use the word "hate" because it is too powerful of an explanation in most circumstances — most, but not in this case. I hate this guy. I hate anyone who lays a finger on any of friends or family.
The last thing I deserve to be is some poster child for troubled relationships. Not one of my ex-boyfriends was necessarily the spawn of Satan; in fact some of them were great guys. I'm not a feminist or out to bash men. I like men, a lot, and this topic relates to anyone regardless of gender or sexual preference.
However, she's "in love." Unfortunately, I've loved enough to know that I don't have the ability to do a whole lot to get her away from him. That's her job. I'll do everything in my power to help her, but she must decide to leave and then follow through with her choice. She's strong enough to leave; she just needs to be reminded.
Leaving the person you love is perhaps one of the most difficult decisions in life. It becomes more heart-wrenching if the relationship exists on different levels, such as physical proximity and emotional, psychological and physical closeness.
But it can be done.

Personal conversation best way to learn diversity
Some weeks ago a group of guys were talking with my friends and me at Westport in Kansas City, Mo. They were treating us equally until one of them learned that I was from Brazil. After that, one of them quickly asked, "What the hell are you guys doing to the Amazon?"
Of course I got offended, especially because suddenly I came under attack by someone that I never asked to meet. We kept bumping into him and his friends at every bar we went to that night, and his questions became even more stereotypical. I ended up the conversation saying that I'm a Native-Brazilian tribal queen who was invited by
The University of Kansas provides several opportunities for people to learn more about each other and the diversity of the world. Recently I attended a lecture by graduate student Robert Rodriguez, titled the "Diversity of Latino." He explained that a Hispanic is defined by the Census Bureau as an American with
the U.S. government to give some speeches about our tribe's costumes. I wonder if some people would really think that this story is true.

Spanish, Portuguese or Latin American descent. For him, Hispanic and Latino can be used interchangeably, but not necessarily. "You can refer to someone that is Mexican-American as Latino and they may not appreciate that," he said.
Throughout the presentation he pointed out that we have to choose the name that we better identify with to describe ourselves. He gave several examples of famous Latinos/Hispanics ranging from the latest U.S. sex-symbol, Ricky Martin, to the new TV drama president of the United States, Martin Sheen, to depict the differences among all of us. Unfortunately, although his lecture was full, it was sad to see that the majority of the people that were interested to learn about this theme
where the ones already experiencing this diversity through their heritage.
This incident affected my self-esteem, but it made me realize how important is not to discriminate the ones who seem different than you. The University of Kansas has hundreds of international students, and the majority of them take regular courses. I've gotten to know several international students in my classes, parties and meetings; little by little I've reshaped my knowledge about history. The variety of minority groups on campus also helped me to develop a better understanding of the world. If people only could use the college environment to communicate more with each other, there would be no swastika burning in the residence halls, no homosexual students being beaten to death, no minorities being dragged by cars and fewer people assuming racial stereotypes.
There is another personal story that exemplifies how hard it is to be a stranger in the nest. One of the most traumatic experiences in my life occurred when I attended high school in Indiana for a year. I was the first international student to attend Northeastern High School in more than a decade. The school had more than 400 students and only one person besides me was considered a minority. So, being from a different country, I soon became the school's center of attention. My girlfriends used to tell me that so and so wanted to go out with me. Weeks passed, and no one had asked me out. When I wondered with my friends about those guys, they said that "because you are Brazilian they are afraid to be the first one to go out with you." It hurt me a lot to know that I was a stranger and that people were afraid to find out more who I really was.
I urge you all to approach people who look different from you in your classes or anywhere you are. We have a lot to share and even more to learn. I promise you that a simple friendly conversation can teach you more about diversity than any class that you may take during your college years.

Feedback
Take small steps
If the United States Congress were to pass a bill to ban the right to bear arms, this could be a good start to end school violence and decrease the homicide rate - that is, if all the tens of millions of Americans who carry firearms are willing to comply.
Enforcing a law to ban firearms is not that simple at this time and age, especially since it's been over 200 years since the Second Amendment was passed. From that time, the use of guns and morality around them has changed how
they are integrated into our society. Many people consider possessing a gun a luxury just like being able to drive a vehicle because it makes them feel comfortable, rather than the privilege that it actually is. How many of the millions of gun owners are willing to relinquish their weapons if such a bill passes?
I'm sure many gun owners may comply and surrender their weapons. But new problems would certainly arise. For those who refuse to give up their weapon, they may react with violence, and riots might ensue. Possessing a handgun would become such a
rarity that it would only be available on the black market. Therefore, the majority of civilians who carry guns would be criminals, rendering ordinary citizens defenseless.
The only way to ultimately ban firearms is for the government to take smaller steps over a lengthy period of time. Taking smaller steps would better allow Americans' perspective on possessing guns to change. Passing an immediate bill may become part of the law, but won't change the views of the gun owners.

Broader hate speech policy sought
By Chris Barniger
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
Racist speech at the University of Kansas could be a punishable offense if Student Senate passes a petition aimed at restricting racial harassment.
Student Senate committees last night passed the petition to expand the University's racial and ethnic harassment policy, which does not cover academic work and living environments. The petition, if passed by Senate next week and approved by the chancellor, would request that the University condemn racist speech in academic, work and living environments such as residence and scholarship halls. It would also classify racially inflammatory symbols, pictures or drawings as harassment.
The current policy defines harassment as actions made with the intent to harass. The proposed policy also would include the action's effect.
Opportunity Office.
The policy also would require a person who had been harassed to confer with the KU Equal
Tanisha Jones, Nunemaker senator and one of the petition's 13 sponsors, said improvements to the University's existing policy were necessary
"There are incidents hap-
"There are incidents happening here that nothing can be done about," she said.
Incidents such as the recent appearance of swastikas at McCollum Hall would be covered under the policy.
Earlier this semester, the student thought to have been responsible for the swastika incidents was brought before a Department of Student Housing disciplinary board but was not punished. If the proposed policy had been in effect, he could have been punished.
Shyra McGee, non-traditional senator and legislation sponsor, said incidents such as the one at McCollum made a stronger harassment policy necessary. If more people knew harassment wasn't tolerated, she said, such incidents would occur less frequently.
However, Jonathan Sternburg,
Student Rights committee member,
said U.S. Supreme Court cases had set a precedent that a policy similar to the one advocated by the petition would be unconstitutional.
"It blatantly files in the face of the First Amendment," he said. "Hate is not illegal, and it should not be illegal."
He cited R.A.V. vs. St. Paul (1992), under which a juvenile was prosecuted for
burning a cross in the yard of an African-American family. The boy was prosecuted under a city ordinance outlawing burning crosses, but the Supreme Court struck down the decision and ruled that free speech could not be selectively restricted.
Braxton Copley of KU Legal Services for Students said the new policy probably would not withstand a test in the Supreme Court.
McGee said that if the policy passed, University General Counsel would ensure the policy would be legally sound before the chancellor reviewed it. She also

Lawrence apartment market overrun
Continued from page 1A
"When I look in the classifieds, there's always so many apartments available that advertise being close to campus," she said. "If I could give a deal like the first month free, I would. But I don't have the money to do that."
She said she initially had expected more response.
"It's always good to have options, but it seems to be a problem," she said.
The plans for additional construction have some concerned,
including Susan Walden, manager and agent of Heatherwood Valley Apartments, 2040 Heatherwood Drive.
"We're usually 100 percent full, but now we're only about 97 percent full," she said.
Walden said she offered a special to attract new tenants. New lease signees can receive a $200 discount on a 12-month lease and $100 on a six-month lease.
Vicki Kauzlarish, manager of Village Square Apartments, 850 Avalon Road, said the complex had experienced more vacancies
this semester than in the past five years.
"I can't see that it's going to cure itself real fast," she said.
Connie Kindsvater, sales associate with Golden Eagle Realty, 132 Pawnee Ave., said complexes with many amenities and a location close to campus would not have as many vacancies.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing," she said. "It's just part of growing."
Maggie Irwin, Lawrence senior,
began looking for someone to sublease
her duplex in September.
Irwin, who planned to graduate at semester and move, was afraid she would be stuck paying the $412 monthly rent bill plus rent in Chicago — a total that could add up to more than $1,000 each month.
She thought students would jump at the opportunity to rent a place in the middle of the year, but that has not been the case.
"I wouldn't think there would be as many places available during this time of year," Irwin said. "Maybe that's just me being naive."

C. S. Lewis scholar to speak
By Clay McCuistion

Kansas staff writer
The C. S. Lewis society of Kansas will pay tribute to the British author this weekend at the University of Kansas.
The year-old group will sponsor a speech by Lewis scholar Dabney Hart, Georgia State University associate professor emeritus, from 4 to 6 p.m. tomorrow at 336 Hall High.
Hart's speech titled "C. S. Lewis: Myth and Imagination," will be telecast to Kansas State, Washburn, Emporia State and Wichita State universities. The event is open to the public. More activities will follow on Saturday and Sunday in Lawrence.
Clive Staples Lewis, a professor at both Oxford and Cambridge universities, died in 1963 at the age of 64. His 33 books include the Narnia series for children, science fiction and meditations on the nature of Christianity.
"She's a pioneer in Lewis studies, and she's a wonderful speaker." Sutton said.
"He had a gift for writing with clarity and zip," said Max Sutton, organizer of the weekend's events and professor of English. "He does what we'd all like to do in our essays."
Hart, who will be in Lawrence through the weekend, met with Lewis in the 1950s when she was a Fulbright Scholar in England. She wrote one of the first doctoral theses about the author.
The first meeting of the Kansas C. S. Lewis society was last year at Wichita State, commemorating the centennial of his birth.

Nancy Yacher, English lecturer, teaches English 203. "Reason and Imagination in the Writings of C.S. Lewis." Hart is scheduled to address her class Friday morning.
Yacher also used Lewis in her English 101 class when textbooks were late. The class read "The Inner Ring," an essay by Lewis, as part of a discussion about the Columbine shootings.
"Lewis functions in lots of locations," Yachter said.
"Of his 33 books, all of which are still in print, four times as many are in circulation today at the time of his death."
Brett Wiese, Topeka sophomore, is in Yacher's 203 class. He said he enrolled because he was interested in examining Lewis's work.
"I'd read his Narnia chronicles when I was a little kid and liked him a lot," said Brett Wiese. "I just wondered what else he had out there."

Virtual reality play bends limits
Watching plays with the help of headgear is becoming a regular occurrence at the University of Kansas.
By Derek Prater

Kansas stoff writer
Machinal is the latest in an ongoing series of virtual reality productions by the University Theatre and the Institute for the Exploration of Virtual Realties. The play, which began its run last week, will continue tonight through Saturday at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall. Performances start at 8 p.m.
Virtual reality productions utilize computer-generated models and polarized glasses to create three-dimensional virtual scenery that transports audiences beyond normal theater experiences.
Mark Reaney, professor of theatre and film and director of the institute, said this production, the fourth of the series, had the most complex effects yet.
"There's more detail, more geometry, more textures, and there are
lighting effects and animated objects that we could not do before." he said.
Ron Willis, professor of theatre and film and director of the production, said the virtual aspects of the production advanced the themes of the play.
"The inner action is very important in this play," he said. "We use the effects to distort reality and explore the character's inner world. It's a good expressionistic device."
Machinal charts the experiences of a woman as she is marginalized by society. Willis said.
Willis said virtual productions presented actors with challenges.
"They have to behave as if a certain thing is there even if it is not," he said.
Damon Klassen, a Great Bend senior now in his second virtual reality production, said that was not the only challenge.
"You've got a lot to compete with," he said. "It's a challenge to keep the audience's attention."
Mo Perry, Eden Prairie, Minn., freshman, who also is in the show, said the script and the performances
"It's a neat backdrop, but I don't think it overshadows the performances," she said.
were strong enough to stand alone.
Both Klassen and Perry said the added dimension of the production was a big plus.
Klassen said that although computer-generated effects conflicted with his personal theatrical taste, the opportunity to work in a vanguard production made it worth the time.
"There are maybe three theaters in the world that are doing this," he said. "We're sort of forerunners, and it draws attention from all over the world."
Willis said virtual reality productions had drawn all types of responses from audiences.
"For some the virtual reality is too much — they get almost dizzy," he said. "Other people really groove on it."
General admission, tickets for Machinal are on sale at the KU box offices. Tickets are $4 for students, $3 for the public and $7 for senior citizens.
Indian students prepare for festival

Special to the Kansan
Wake up early on Sunday. Who does that?
This weekend, members of the Indian community at the University of Kansas definitely will, as they celebrate their most prominent festival, Diwali — the festival of lights.
Arwind Manohar, Nairobi, Kenya, sophomore, said he was ready to visit the Indian temple in Shawnee Mission this weekend for the Diwali fair, which will be from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, and the puja (religious ceremony) on Sunday. He also planned to visit Indian families he knew in Kansas City to celebrate with them.
"It's that time when you get out your Indian self," Manohar said. For the past few years, the Indian Students Association at the
University celebrated the festival with a cultural program and Indian food. But it is not this year.
Sandeep Misra, Overland Park senior and president of the association, said that because of some confusion in dates, the group was not able to reserve the Kansas Union Ballroom or make alternate arrangements.
Being away from home during Diwali is a strange feeling for most Indian students. More than anything else, the festival is about togetherness, and that is what the students miss most.
Not just international students from India attend the Diwali celebration. Students born and raised in the United States, but with Indian heritage, also participate.
["I miss] the goodies prepared at home, the firecrackers, friends, family, the whole spirit of Diwali," said Vivek John Kursunakal. New
Delhi, India, junior.
But when he takes his kurta-paja ma (ethnic Indian outfit) out of the closet, he plans to have a good time with his friends at the University at some events being planned by the Indian community in Kansas City.
Disha Chopra, Bombay, India graduate student, will perform a small ceremony at her apartment.
Vivek Joshi, a post-doctoral student from Bombay, India, also plans to celebrate. Joshi has been in Lawrence for five months and has made good contacts at the Maharashtra Mandal, an Indian community group in Kansas City. He has set aside another weekend for a belated Diwali celebration there.
"At home in India, it is usually my mother who takes care of these things," she said. "But here, I plan to do something special."

Mark Reaney, professor of theatre and film and director of the institute, said this production, the fourth of the series, had the most complex effects yet.
"There's more detail, more geometry, more textures, and there are
lighting effects and animated objects that we couldn't do before," he said.
Ron Willis, professor of theatre and film and director of the production, said the virtual aspects of the production advanced the themes of the play.

"The inner action is very important in this play," he said. "We use the effects to distort reality and explore the character's inner world. It's a good expressionistic device."
Machinal charts the experiences of a woman as she is marginalized by society. Willis said.
Willis said virtual productions presented actors with challenges.
"They have to behave as if a certain thing is there even if it is not," he said.
Damon Klassen, a Great Bend senior now in his second virtual reality production, said that was not the only challenge.
"You've got a lot to compete with," he said. "It's a challenge to keep the audience's attention."
Mo Perry, Eden Prairie, Minn., freshman, who also is in the show, said the script and the performances
were strong enough to stand alone.
"It's a neat backdrop, but I don't think it overshadows the performances," she said.
Both Klassen and Perry said the added dimension of the production was a big plus.
Klassen said that although computer-generated effects conflicted with his personal theatrical taste, the opportunity to work in a vanguard production made it worth the time.
"There are maybe three theaters in the world that are doing this," he said. "We're sort of forerunners, and it draws attention from all over the world."
Willis said virtual reality productions had drawn all types of responses from audiences.
"For some the virtual reality is too much — they get almost dizzy," he said. "Other people really groove on it."

Indian students prepare for festival
Edited by Allan Davis
By Rasika Dhavse
Special to the Kansan
Wake up early on Sunday. Who does that?
This weekend, members of the Indian community at the University of Kansas definitely will, as they celebrate their most prominent festival, Diwali — the festival of lights.
Arwind Manohar, Nairobi, Kenya, sophomore, said he was ready to visit the Indian temple in Shawnee Mission this weekend for the Diwali fair, which will be from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, and the puja (religious ceremony) on Sunday. He also planned to visit Indian families he knew in Kansas City to celebrate with them.
"It's that time when you get out your Indian self," Manohar said. For the past few years, the Indian Students Association at the
University celebrated the festival with a cultural program and Indian food. But it is not this year.
Sandeep Misra, Overland Park senior and president of the association, said that because of some confusion in dates, the group was not able to reserve the Kansas Union Ballroom or make alternate arrangements.
Not just international students from India attend the Diwali celebration. Students born and raised in the United States, but with Indian heritage, also participate.
Being away from home during Diwali is a strange feeling for most Indian students. More than anything else, the festival is about togetherness, and that is what the students miss most.
{"text": "[I miss] the goodies prepared at “[I miss] the firecrackers, friends, family, the whole spirit of Diwali,” said Vivek John Kurisunkal, New"}
Delhi, India, junior.
But when he takes his kurta-paja ma (ethnic Indian outfit) out of the closet, he plans to have a good time with his friends at the University at some events being planned by the Indian community in Kansas City.
Vivek Joshi, a post-doctoral student from Bombay, India, also plans to celebrate. Joshi has been in Lawrence for five months and has made good contacts at the Maharashtra Mandal, an Indian community group in Kansas City. He has set aside another weekend for a belated Diwali celebration there.
Disha Chopra, Bombay, India graduate student, will perform a small ceremony at her apartment.
"At home in India, it is usually my mother who takes care of these things," she said. "But here, I plan to do something special."

Jury convicts man of Shepard's murder
The Associated Press
LARAMIE, Wyo. — A drug-dealing roofer was convicted yesterday of murder in the beating of a gay college student, making him eligible for the death sentence for a slaying so brutal it spurred calls for hate-crime laws around the nation.
In addition to felony murder, Aaron McKinney was convicted of second degree murder, aggravated robbery and kidnapping in the death of Matthew Shepard. The jury of seven men and five women returned the verdicts after about 10 hours of deliberation. The jurors, however, rejected a first-degree murder charge that McKinney had planned the attack.
The sentencing phase, where the jurors will consider the death penalty, is to begin today.
As the jury prepared to announce its verdict, McKinney, 22, stood next to his two attorneys, looking impassive, arms crossed in front of him. When the first verdict was read — guilty of kidnapping — his arms dropped to his sides. His father, William, looked straight ahead with no emotion.
Shepard, 21, a University of Wyoming freshman majoring in political science, met McKinney and Russell Henderson at a Laramie bar on Oct. 6, 1998.
Prosecuters said McKinney and Henderson lured Shepard from the bar and drove him to a remote spot on the prairie, where they tied him to a wooden rail fence, robbed him of $20 and pistol-whipped him into a coma.
Eighteen hours later, Shepard, bruised and bleeding, was found still lashed to the fence. He died five days
later at a Fort Collins, Colo., hospital without regaining consciousness.
Authorities said robbery was the primary motive but that Shepard also was singled out because he was gay.
was suspected of kidnapping and murder, and is serving two life sentences.
In closing arguments Tuesday, prosecutor Cal Rerauca paused for 60 seconds to let the jury reflect in silence on the beating inflicted on Shepard.
"Think what 60 seconds was to Matthew Shepard, Rerucha said. It's a short time if you're eating an ice cream cone. It's a long time if you're descending into hell not knowing what fate will meet you there."
Defense attorneyns argued that McKinney, in a drug-induced rage, lost control after Shepard made an unwanted sexual advance.
They were barred from using a "gay panic" strategy, which is based on the theory that a person with latent gay tendencies will have an uncontrollable, violent reaction when propositioned by a homosexual.
District Judge Barton Voigt ruled that the strategy was akin to temporary insanity or a diminished capacity defense — both prohibited under Wyoming law. The ruling essentially let the defense argue the beating was a crime of passion but not present the theory that the passion was caused by a specific mental condition.
In his closing argument, public defender Dion Custis told the jury that McKinney was in an emotional rage.
("He) is not a cold-blooded murderer, ladies and gentlemen, he reacted," Custis said. "There was no thought process."
EgyptAir Flight 990 climbed before crashing
The Associated Press
NEWPORT, R.I. — EgyptAir Flight 990 plunged 17,000 feet and then climbed again, before apparently breaking up in its final dive into the Atlantic, federal investigators said yesterday.
The description by National Transportation Safety Board officials of the final seconds of Sunday's crash that killed 217 people shows that the plane did not go straight down, said John Clark, deputy director of the NTSB's Office of Research and Engineering.
The National Transportation Safety Board said the Boeing 767 was cruising at 33,000 feet a half-hour after leaving New York for Cairo when it suddenly descended 16,300 feet in a straight line within 40 seconds. At the time, the plane had a ground speed of about 600 knots, or about 690 mph.
Then the plane pitched up and climbed
8,000. Clark said he did not know the cause of the climb, and refused to speculate on whether it was a catastrophic event on board or whether the pilots were struggling to control the aircraft.
meanwhile, efforts to retrieve the black boxes and pieces of the aircraft were delayed because of high winds following a storm that were expected to prevent most of the recovery efforts until at least the weekend. Waves peaked yesterday at 22 feet.
Preliminary analysis of the radar data appeared to back up the conclusion that the plane broke up before it hit the ocean, Clark said, but he refused to speculate on what the new information would mean to investigators or to consideration of thrust reversers as a possible suspect in the crash.
The information was provided by the U.S. Air Force after an analysis of radar
tape.
Officials said it was likely that an analysis of the black boxes when they are recovered would tell whether a thrust reverser had been activated in the air, an event that caused a Boeing 767 to crash in Thailand in 1991. The reverser is intended to slow the plane after landing.
"We have no evidence at this time that the thrust reverser system played any role in this accident," James Hall, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said.
A top Egyptian aviation official said the reverseer could not have caused the crash. Even with a reverser malfunction, the pilots still would have had time to radio a distress call, said Isam Ahmed, head of Egypt's Civil Aviation Institute. Still, a former National Transportation Safety Board investigator, Barry Trotter, said yesterday that information released so far leads him to consider the thrust reverser as a possible cause.
The reverser wasn't working on one of Flight 990's two engines and was deactivated sometime before the crash, according to investigators.
Greg Phillips, the NTSB's chief crush investigator, added that investigators have not yet seen the plane's maintenance records — or major pieces of the plane itself.
Except for one Coast Guard cutter, ships involved in the search were recalled to port after a storm moved in Tuesday. Winds continued to gust up to 50 mph around the crash site Wednesday.
"With an airplane in the ocean, it's pretty difficult. The fact that we haven't seen this airplane is the biggest issue," Phillips said.
Group urges changes to U.S. war on drugs in conference letter
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S.-led military-style war on drugs is a failure and should be changed to focus more on ending the demand for drugs and drug money, a group of prominent Americans and Latin Americans said yesterday.
... units involved in human rights abuses," the group said in a letter to delegates to this week's drug strategy conference.
"The escalation of a militarized drug war in Colombia and elsewhere in the Americas threatens regional stability, undermines efforts towards demilitarization and democracy and has put U.S. arms and money into the hands of corrupt officials and military
The 13 signers of the letter included jurists, doctors, artists, religious leaders and three former Latin presidents — Belisario Betancur of Colombia, Violeta Chamorro of Nicaragua and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Oscar Arias of Costa Rica.
"As you meet to develop hemispheric drug strategy, it is time to admit that after two decades, the U.S. war on drugs — both in Latin American and in the United States — is a failure," the letter said.
States == is a valuable despite spending tens of billions of dollars for raids on drug labs, crop eradication and arrests and imprisonment at home, today in the U.S., illicit drugs are cheaper, more potent and more easily available than two decades ago, it said.
The signers urged officials attending today and tomorrow's drug conference to consider policies that will focus more on reducing consumption, expanding drug treatment programs, and promoting economic development to decrease the reliance on drug income among people who produce it.
Officials said it was unclear whether delegates to the closed-door meetings would speak against the U.S. anti-drug approach because they rely not only on military aid that comes with it, but fear jeopardizing trade and other relationships with the United States.
The White House office for drug policy said it was unaware of the letter to delegates but pointed to a 13 percent drop in drug use among U.S. youths last year.
"What they are protesting is exactly what we have been doing, so we find the protest somewhat disingenuous," said Bob Weiner, representative for Barry McCaffrey, who directs the White House office.
Weiner said the office has increased programs for prevention and treatment.

India continues to clean up battered country
The Associated Press
PHUILNAKHARA
India
PROLUNKHARA, India — Bulldozers dumped bloated corpses onto the beaches yesterday in cyclone-ravaged eastern India, where troops worked to protect relief convoys from angry, starving mobs.
Hundreds of people tried to stop every car, bus or jeep that passed, seizing not only food but whatever was available. Army Col. Shokin Chauhan said there were widespread complaints of looting, robbery and women being raped.
With 20 million people affected by the cyclone and floods, the biggest challenge now was to deal with increasing instances of lawlessness and vandalism, said Jagganan Patnai, the state's revenue minister.
A senior army officer involved in the rescue operation told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity that 10,000 to 20,000 were dead. That would make the storm India's worst, topping the 10,000 killed in a 1971 cyclone. State officials have confirmed only 250 deaths.
Army and police, unable to reach
the worst-hit areas, feared that epidemics and violence would increase the death toll from the cyclone, which flattened homes, toppled trees and buried rice fields under a sheet of water.
"Everyone is drowned, and there is nothing to eat," said a tall woman in a dirty, wet sari.
She was too stunned to say her name or what had happened to her family in Paradwip, a port whipped by winds and waves for eight hours on Friday.
"It was sheer horror. The water just
rushed in from the sea and thousands were running in every direction," said Raj Kumar Behara, an engineer who fed Paradin to a small village.
Parents clutched babies above their heads as they ran from the waves, only to feel the fierce winds snatch the children away.
"I saw an old man who was clutching his child desperately for several minutes as the waves came in. Then he let go, the child was sucked under the waters and he was thrown in a different direction," Behara said.
Scores of boats had sunk, the port's railway connections were submerged, and survivors said hundreds of trawlers and fishermen were missing.
The stench of thousands of decaying pig, cow and goat carcasses filled the air, and port employees collected bodies left behind by the storm. A bulldozer scooped up corpses, blackened with mud and rot, and dumped them on the sand. "I could not identify a single one of my workers," said D.K. Basu, who works for Paradiwap port. "It's ghastly."
The army still has not been able to reach Paradawp five days after the cyclone hit. The navy cleared a channel for two landing craft, which delivered food Tuesday for 1,500 people.
Hundreds of thousands are starving, thirsty, homeless and sick. Rain still was falling yesterday, and rivers overflowed their banks.
International aid workers were beginning to reach the area, however, and President Clinton announced a donation of more than $2 million in food and $100,000 in tents and plastic sheeting.

Pakistan attempting to organize after coup
Leader Musharraf to work on reforms before referendums
The Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Pakistan's military ruler said yesterday that a referendum on his government would be too costly and divert attention from the reforms he wants to complete before restoring civilian rule.
The final decision on whether to hold a vote to gauge support for his Oct. 12 army takeover will be made by the National Security Council of army officers and civilians who are ruling Pakistan.
"I'm not afraid of it," Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf told Pakistan's official news agency. "But the result will be
in our favor... The poor nation does not have a choice."
In an interview with a panel of reporters, Musharraf also said he expected a more severe reaction to his takeover from the international community.
"I was surprised. The reaction was more mild than I had expected," he said.
Western nations have been asking for a timeframe for a return to democracy in Pakistan, ruled by the army for 25 of its 52-year history. But, Musharraf has refused, saying he has a list of things to accomplish before holding elections.
At home the coup was welcomed because of the runaway corruption of the country's political leaders, he said.
Musharraf promised to crack down on those who have not repaid bank loans. He warned: "The clock is ticking... Maybe we will put them behind bars. They should be prepared."
"I'm not afraid of it, but the result will be in our favor... The poor nation does not have a choice."
Gen. Pervaiz Musharra
Pakistan's Military Ruler
Musharraf has set Nov. 16 as the deadline to repay the loans or face criminal charges.
Setting an example for other politicians, Musharraf released details of his assets on Monday saying it was the first step toward cleaning out a corrupt system that has frustrated most of Pakistan's 140 million people and left them disillusioned with
their politicians.
Chief Admiral Abdul Aziz Mirza released a report of his assets today.
Musharraf dismissed the elected government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, charging he had undermined the constitution, weakened institutions and threatened the army.
Sharif has been in army custody since the bloodless coup, despite repeated demands from international and domestic human rights organizations that he be charged or released. Musharraf has assured the international community that Sharif will receive a fair trial.
Musharraf staged the coup after Sharif dismissed him and appointed a more junior army general as army chief of staff. The coup culminated several months of tense relations between Sharif and the army general.

It was clearly a height advantage that decided last night's volleyball match between Kansas and Nebraska.
Nebraska had the height.
Kansas didn't.
The Jayhawks were outblocked 15-7 and, as a result, were upended 3-0 by the No. 13 Cornhuskers at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. A record crowd of 1,236 fans watched as the Jayhawks dropped to 15-9 overall and 6-7 in
the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas senior middle blocker Amanda Reves highlighted the night by recording the 1,147th kill of her career, a new school record. But that still wasn't enough to stop the Cornhuskers.
"They're big girls, and they have a big height advantage." Kansas sophomore setter Molly LaMere said. "They have the smarts, and they know where to place the ball. They're just good volleyball players all around."
Nebraska's all-around game started early. The Cornhuskers staked themselves to a 6-1 lead in the first game after a Kansas
attacked long. The Jayhawks took a timeout, then proceeded to score the next three points after junior outside hitter Amy Myatt picked up a kill, Nebraska recorded an attack error and Myatt and senior middle blocker Anné Kreimer combined for a block.
From there, Nebraska took control. The Cornhuskers reeled off seven straight points, capped off by an ace by setter Greichaly Cepero. Kansas would score only one more point as the Cornhuskers won the game 15-5.

kansas millennium athlete No.7 ralph miller Two-sport standout athlete later made the transition from court to the sidelines
story by matt tait
Very rarely today does a man come along who is so connected to the roots of basketball that he can recall conversations with the men who shaped the game.
Ralph Miller, a standout athlete at the University of Kansas from 193840 and in 1941 is one such man.
Miller, a Chanute native, enjoyed an extremely successful career in both football and basketball while at Kansas.
Before coming to Kansas, Miller was a multi-sport star at Chanute High School, where he ran track and played football for four years, played basketball for three and golfed and played tennis for one. In all, he lettered 12 times in five sports during high school.
Out of high school, Miller received offers from 70 schools to play sports. In fact, Miller said that he nearly went to Stanford to be reunited with John Bunn, a man Miller's uncle played with at Kansas. He ultimately chose Kansas, where he played basketball and football.
"I certainly enjoyed sports, and since I rather excelled at them, they became a rather important part of my life," Miller said.
Did he make the right decision?
"I think so, because I met my wife at Kansas, and I really enjoyed playing both football and basketball," Miller said.
Legendary Kansas coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen recruited Miller to play both sports. His wife, Jean, whom he met in 1938, said she thought that was the turning point in her husband's decision to come to Kansas.
As a football player for the Jayhawks, Miller was both a running back and quarterback for three years and received three varsity letters. He still holds the Kansas record for most touchdown passes in a single game with

Commentary
Determining top10 athletes no easy chore
When I decided that the Kansan sports section should feature the University of Kansas' 10 greatest athletes, I knew that the selection process should be left to the experts.
After all, I only have been on this campus for a little more than three years, while the athletic tradition at Kansas is more than 100 years old.
During the past two months, our staff
During the past two has talked to people who have been around Kansas athletics for much of its history, including longtime broadcaster Max Falkenstein, women's basketball coach Marian Washington and members of the athletics department. But even with expert advice, it is impossible for any "greatest ever list" to be entirely inclusive.

For example, many
still are debating Major League Baseball's recent All-Century team. During a World Series telecast, NBC's Bob Costas and Joe Morgan debated whether more minorities should have been represented on the team. Costas and Morgan, and many others, thought that Roberto Clemente, a native of the Dominican Republic, should have made the team.
Just as Clemente was slighted from baseball's All-Century team, there are many other athletes from Kansas who would be worthy of being on the Kansan's top 10 list — especially women.
Unfortunately, men's sports have been more prominent during the course of the century, and it has been only recently that women's sports have been given their just attention.
Had Kansas women's basketball, volleyball and women's soccer enjoyed as long of a tradition as men's basketball, for example, Lymn Pride, Amanda Reves and Natalie Hoogveld probably would have been picked in the top 10 by the experts.
There have been thousands of athletes who have competed at Kansas, and try as we might, your favorite might not make the Kansan's cut.
When looking at Kansas athletic history as a whole, however, recent history takes less precedence, which may explain the look of our list.
As this millennium comes to an end, there seems to be a need to honor and remember the very best athletes that Kansas has fielded, which is one reason why the Kansan is counting down the University's top 10 athletes.
The best reason why I decided for our staff to take on such a project, however, is because I thought it would create debate, which mirrors the goal of higher education to be a marketplace of ideas.
So enjoy today's feature on Ralph Miller, and pick up Tuesday's feature on Kansas athlete No. 6.
And start wondering how your top 10 would stack up against ours.

Kansas secondary improving thanks to confidence, big hits
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Bv Mike Miller
Sure, it still takes one every now and then — like a 49-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter against Nebraska, which put the 'Huskers ahead for good — but during the last two games, the secondary has been one of the bright points for the Javahawks.
Instead of taking hits, the Kansas secondary is beginning to give some out.
All it took was an enforcer, a revised defensive scheme and a little confidence.
Allen.
"I'd say the last two weeks is the best we've played," said Kansas coach Terry
The secondary used to be the part of the Kansas defense that got burned on a regular basis. One game after another, an opponent would score on a big play.
A 62 yard touchdown in the San Diego State game. An 88 yard touchdown against Kansas State. A 78 yard touchdown against Texas A&M. It was as if someone were rewinding the same play week after week and showing it again.
Help came in the form of two position changes — safety Carl Nesmith in place of Greg Erb and left cornerback Muhammad Abdul-Rahim in place of Quincy Roe — which has allowed Kansas to improve in attitude and personnel.
"We made improvements in our style of play," said safety Kareem High. "Like with Muhammad and Carl, they bring excitement to the defense. Carl with his hits, and Muhammad gets us going in the huddle."
Nesmith has been awarded Biggest Hit more than any other player this year, an award the Kansas coaches give after each game. They are the kind of hits that get shown again and again on the MegaVision board. His hits not only energize the defense, but when the hits are played on the MegaVision, they also can energize the crowd. That suits the players just fine.
"When Carl comes out with a devastating hit, everybody's charged up. Everybody kind of draws off that," High said.
The defensive schemes also have been simplified since the beginning of the season.
"We've just been concentrating on having fun and playing within the system," High said.
"We're playing great," he said. "In the secondary, we're playing with a lot of toughness."
Though the 'Hawks practice several different schemes during the week, they use only two or three during games, which has cut down on mistakes during games.
Though they might give up a big play
Nesmith agrees. He said that improved aggressiveness was the key to the improved play.
The Jayhawks won't be tested too much during the three remaining games because Baylor, Oklahoma State and Iowa State have the three worst passing offenses in the Big 12 Conference.
every now and then, the confidence from the last two weeks has been infectious. Now the secondary believes it can defend the pass and back that confidence up.
But that doesn't concern Nesmith. He just wants to finish the season with some more wins — and a few more hits.
"I run around and make big hits," Nesmith said. "I guess some guys don't expect me to come out and hit them like that."

Low revenues may drive Blades out of KC

A drop in attendance and losses of millions of dollars have Blades owner Dan DeVos contemplating the move. Oklahoma City appears to be the front-runner.
DeVos is seriously looking at his options, he said. DeVos confirmed he has visited with officials in Oklahoma City.
"We're thinking about everything," DeVos said. "Our desire is to come up with a way to keep the team in Kansas City, but one (option) would be looking into relocating. We've got to figure a way to stop losing money in Kansas City."
If the Blades move, Kansas City might not be long without a team.
Tom Rieger, general manager of the Explorers' tennis franchise, said he talked with the Central Hockey League about Kansas City getting a team in that league, possibly even Oklahoma City's team.

U.S. women's soccer coach quits

He was the man behind the scenes of one of the biggest stories in women's sports. Tony DiCicco avoided the headlines, reserving them for the players on his women's World Cup soccer team.
A statement from U.S. Soccer said the country's most successful soccer coach was leaving at the end of the year to spend more time with his fam-

"The main reason I'm stepping down is that it's more important for me to be a world-class husband and father than a world-class coach," said DiCicco, who has four boys.
"When I looked at the generous financial opportunities available to me next year, I didn't see how they could possibly enrich my life more than spending time with my wife and boys."
The new coach will face a difficult task: replacing DiCicco with the Olympics 10 months away.
"He has won every trophy in sight and done it with grace and style," said
U. S. Soccer president Robert Contigulia. "He has been an integral part of the team's success since our first World Cup championship in 1991, and he has met every challenge head on."
"Obviously, it's a sad day for the team because we all have tremendous respect for Tony as a coach, a person and friend," co-captain Julie Foudy said. "But we understand his commitment to his family and his desire to spend more time with his wife and sons."
But DiCicco leaves another family behind.

Kansas acquires new offensive, defensive game philosophies
By Matt Tait sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
By Matt Tait
Saturday night, the Kansas basketball team will step on the court to play its first preseason game of the 1999-2000 season. And for the past three weeks, it has spent practices installing new offensive and defensive philosophies.
Before practices started nearly three weeks ago, Coach Roy Williams revealed that he and his staff were planning to experiment with new offenses that capitalized on the tremendous size the Jayhawks have.
So, how's the offense coming?
Slowly, Williams said. But that's mainly because this is the first week they really have installed anything new.
"It's hard to play a real aggressive style and play with poise." Williams said. "I want to play at a fast, fast, fast tempo, and I want us to get good shots."
The new offense is designed to do just that.
Specifically, two new offensive sets have been installed, both with the intention of getting the ball to the big guys and shooters who can score.
As for the first few weeks of practice, Williams said senior Nick Bradford and junior Kenny Gregory had impressed him the most so far.
"Nick has just been fantastic," Williams said. "He's been very vocal and very enthusiastic. He's been the best leader by far."
Sophomore guard Marlon London said without hesitation who he thought was the team leader.
"I'd say Nick Bradford," London said. "He's been vocal and really kept everybody going."
While Bradford's enthusiasm and leadership has not surprised Williams that much, Gregory's has. However, Gregory's biggest asset has been his mindset.
"I've been more pleased with Kenny's mental makeup than anything," Williams said.
Gregory, who has a history of back problems, now plays through the pain and is not bothered by banged up knees or twisted ankles. Perhaps it is because he is aware that if he doesn't play through it, he may not play at all because of the team's tremendous depth.
"He's finally started acting like he's older than 6," Williams said. "But those two guys I'm more pleased with than anybody."
Williams still has not looked at compiling a starting lineup and said he would not until sometime after the second exhibition game.
"I may put something screwy out there Saturday night," Williams said. "And I may change it at half-time and make it more screwy. I might make it the guys that eat the most during pregame, and I might make it the guys that eat the least. Or I might make it the five guys that have played the best."
At any rate, Williams said he anticipated that whichever five he put on the court would be ready to play an opponent.
"The players, I'm sure, are looking forward to Saturday, because they're tired of beating up on each other," Williams said.

Soccer completes first successful season

Kansas writer/sportwriter
Players shatter records receive region ranking
Improvements were made and team records were shattered as the Kansas soccer team delivered its most successful season in program history.
In his first campaign as coach, Mark Francis' team finished its season 8-10-1, the best record in team history.
Other records fell as well. Team records for assists, saves, consecutive home wins and most consecutive games scoring also were broken. Four other team records were tied, and every attendance record was shattered.
Goals of a postseason berth and a winning record weren't accomplished, but Francis still saw the year as a success.
"Compared to last season, we did very well," Francis said. "We had the best record ever, and we tied our best conference record. We also got ranked in the region for the first time ever, which is the first step to getting ranked in the country."
and sophomore forward Nat Hoogveld. Rantala set the single season scoring record with five goals and six assists for 16 points. Hoogveld earned Big 12 Conference Player of the Week honors and led the Jayhawks with six goals.
The future should be bright for the Jayhawks. Many of this season's top performers will be returning next year, including junior forward Hilla Rantala
"I think they'll do very well," Francis said. "As the year went on they began to understand each other better, and that'll help heading toward next year."
"I think they'll do very well."
SOCIAL ACTION
Schroeder lifted the midfield with her speed, while Colvin added offensive punch. Lents scored two game-winning goals this year while Watts gave muscle to the midfield.
Also shining on the offensive attack was junior Meghann Haven, who set school records for career and season assists this season. Sophomore Melanie Schroeder and Juniors Katie Lents, Colleen Colvin and Kylie Watts also will be back.
Haven said she expected the team to be tough next season.
"I think we're going to be a force to be mocked with" Hayen said. "I think
Defensively, seniors Lindsey Loeffler, Cynthia Dahle and Eunya Di Cesare anchored a

defense that held opponents to one of the lowest goal totals allowed in program history.
"Our defense did very well," Francis said. "Our organization as a defense was good. There were some times when we let down and let in some soft goals, but overall it was good."
While many on-field improvements took place, the biggest change came in the attitude of the team.
"We improved in everybody's attitudes," Lents said. "Everybody came together for one common goal, and we all worked really hard for that."
Kansas will have some big shoes to fill as the Jayhawks are losing five seniors. In addition to Dahle and Loeffler, senior goalkeepers Betsy Pollard, Laura Rohde and midfielder Melissa Downing concluded their careers.
Freshmen Nikki Wahle and Bridget Goyen will attempt to fill that void. However, the main gap to be filled will be in goalkeeping.
"We're recruiting goalkeepers right now," Francis said. "We need someone who can come in and be at this level right away."
Following this season's success and with the crew he has returning, Francis said he thought his team was on its way up.
"We're definitely going in the right direction." Francis said. "For the first year, to have our best record, I'm very happy. But we're still not where we need to be yet."

Gritty effort not enough as Jayhawks fall to 'Huskers
Continued from page 1B
"There were points when their physicalness just kind of took over," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "Nebraska definitely makes a team earn every point."
Those points just didn't come for Kansas in the second game. The game was tied 3-3 when Nebraska went on another run. By the time it was finished, the Cornhuskers led 13-9 on 6-foot-2 middle blocker Jenny Kropp's two block assists.
Kansas held off the Cornhuskers during nine straight rallies that ended in sideouts, but eventually was overcome 15-9. The Jayhawks lost the third game 15-10 after suffering through nine more Nebraska blocks.
"They scored points pretty easily," Bechard said. "Then they turn around and make you work your butt off."
Kansas recorded a lowly .141 hitting percentage in the match, while the Cornhuskers hit .244.
"I don't think it was frustrating as far as our hitting went." Reves said. "I think it was just frustrating as far as our overall defense and our passing."
The Jayhawks were led by Reves, who had 13 kills, giving her 1,150 for her career, on her record-breaking night. Myatt added 11 kills, while senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht recorded nine. LaMere paced the Jayhawks with 37 assists.
"We didn't go away, that's for sure," Bechard said. "We hung in there as long as we could."
Next up for Kansas is a road match at 7 p.m. Saturday against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. The Jayhawks won the first meeting between the two schools 3-1 on Oct. 2 in Lawrence.

Reves sets Kansas career kill mark
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It's happened a thousand times before. Well, 1,150 times now to be exact.
entering last night's volleyball match against No. 13 Nebraska, Amanda Reves was 10 kills shy of the school record for career kills. With the Jayhawks trailing 2-1 early in the third game, Kansas executed the same play it has done successfully roughly 300 times this year alone. Sophomore Molly LaMere set the ball for Reves, who delivered a thundering kill. While the play was the same, the kill was different. It broke Judy Desch's record of 1,146 kills which had stood since 1987.
The record crowd at Horejsi Family Athletics Center erupted in jubilation at the feat, but the mark
didn't phase Reves a bit. Kansas lost to Nebraska 3-0.
In fact, Reves wasn't interested in the record and had hopes that it would be broken someday. The only numbers she's concerned with are those in the win column.
"I'm trying to win more games, that's all," Reves said. "Hopefully, it's going to be broken by someone else. I think this program has something to look forward to."
That response comes as no surprise to Coach Ray Bechard, who knows Reves has worked for everything she has accomplished.
"This is a story of somebody nobody recruited, nobody really paid any attention to, and four years later she's got more kills than anybody in school history." Bechard said. "That's just a direct reflection on her commitment and work
ethic."
When Reves came to Kansas four years ago she walked on the volleyball team with hardly any expectations. Now, everyone has high expectations of her. She is looked to by her teammates to lead, and they know they can rely on her.
"I always know there's someone I can count on whenever we need a kill or we ever need a point-scoring opportunity," LaMere said. "I have the confidence I can go to her and she'll get the job done."
Reves is more than willing to get the job done, just as long as she can help the team win games and change the program in the process.
"I just want to change people's minds that we can believe we can do more than we've been doing, that we're a better team." Reves said.

Miller revolutionized game with coaching style
BILLIARDS

Continued from page 1B
from the sport he almost consid ered coaching instead of basket ball.
"I really did enjoy football, but since that was the sport I tore my knee in, I decided to concentrate on basketball instead," Miller said.
Although Miller excelled at football, his true love was basketball. For the rest of his life Miller would be around basketball — either coaching, playing or watching.
At Kansas, Miller played basketball with the likes of future Jayhawk coach Dick Harp and was coached by one of Kansas' earliest and most successful coaches, Phog Allen. Allen, who learned from the inventor of the game, James Naismith, had an extraordinary influence on Miller as both an athlete and a coach.
But Miller's link to basketball's roots did not stop at being coached by Allen. Miller actually knew Naismith and was taught by him at the University.
"Id have the privilege to meet Dr. Naismith, and he occasionally guest lectured in my classes," Miller said. "But I think the thing I most remember about him was that he always thought that the game was just to be played — not coached or perfected. And, unfortunately, him being the only KU coach with a losing record showed that."
In 1940, Miller was a starter on the Kansas team that went 19-6 and was the first Jayhawk team to make it to the NCAA Final Four. Twice in his three years on the basketball team, Miller was voted to the all-conference team. But for Miller, making the Final Four was a dream come true.
"It (the Final Four) wasn't as big as it is today." Miller said. "But we proud of our accomplishment, as we were able to go to the finals and, of course, at that time I was extremely proud to be a Javahwer."
In 1942 Miller graduated from Kansas and ended his playing days. However, what he was about
to embark upon was a dream of another kind - he would go on to coach athletes in the game he loved to play.
Later that same year Miller landed his first head coaching job - a temporary position at Mount Oread High School in Lawrence.
That year, Miller did not experience much success as the team went the entire season without a win.
"We were an awful team," Miller said. "I'm not even sure we won a game. It certainly didn't turn my head toward coaching but not
away from it either."
Aner a three-year stint in the Air Force, Miller decided to get back into coaching because he said basketball was in his blood.
His next job came at Wichita East High School, where he spent three successful seasons from 1949 to 1951. Basketball was quite a different game when Miller played it, and it continued to be so for the early part of his coaching career. The pace was slower, the shots were different, the strategy was uncertain and the scores were a lot lower. But as Miller would show
"I did have the privilege to meet Dr. Naismith, and he occasionally guest lectured in my classes. But I think the thing I most remember about him was that he always thought that the game was just to be played — not coached or perfected. And, unfortunately, him being the only KU coach with a losing record showed that."
Ralph Miller Former Kansas basketball and football player
later in his celebrated coaching career, he was a man of adjustments and knew how to coach to win.
In fact, in his first year at Wichita East, Miller's team was trailing a midseason game 4-0 at halftime. After a stern but motivational tongue-lashing at the break, Miller's troops still trailed 7-2 after three periods. In the fourth they took command, made an incredible comeback and won, 13-11. After the game, Miller received a telegram from Allen that said, "Congratulations on the new-fangled control game."
Two years later in 1951, his final year as a high school coach. Miller demonstrated the knowledge he had learned from Allen and Naismith as he led the Blue Aces to a 26-3 record and a state championship.
Without even leaving the city, Miller stepped up to the next level — a job as basketball coach at Wichita State University. In 13 seasons with the Shockers, Miller won more than 200 games and began moving his way up the coaching ladder of prestige.
Next it was on to Iowa, a major Division-I school. Miller spent six seasons at Iowa, where he added another 95 wins to his record before moving on to Oregon State. It was at Iowa that Miller won his biggest game as a coach — a nine-point victory against the mighty UCLA Bruins coached by the legendary John Wooden.
"I was 3-0 vs. coach Wooden before I came to Oregon State," Miller said with a laugh. "But he
truly was a great coach, and I highly admired him."
Wooden's Bruins went on to win the NCAA title that year, but the loss to Iowa and Miller snapped a streak of 37 straight wins.
The meeting was the first between the two legendary coaches. Steve Seidler, a former assistant to Miller at Oregon State and UCLA team member coached by Wooden, said the two coaches did not differ greatly in their coaching styles.
"I spent two years at UCLA, and coach Wooden influenced me quite a bit, but Ralph and Coach Wooden aren't that different," Seilder said. "The only difference was that Coach Wooden got better players."
Soidler joined Miller at Oregon State as an assistant in 1980. By that time, Miller already had been there for nine seasons and had shaped Oregon State into one of the premier programs in college basketball.
In fact, during Seidler's first season, the Beavers were ranked first in the nation, and when Miller couldn't make it to a team practice, he let his assistant take over. Seidler said he always was impressed by the gesture because it showed Miller was not afraid of giving his assistants some control.
"The thing that was great about Ralph was that he had complete trust in his assistants," Seidler said. "But once the game was on, it was Ralph's show."
In all, Miller spent 19 seasons at Oregon State, helping to develop the talent of such NBA greats as A.C. Green, Steve Johnson and

Twice, both in 1911 and 1982, Miller was voted National Coach of the Year. His innovative style of full-court pressure basketball revolutionized the game.
Gary Payton, while winning six Pac-10 titles and making nine NCAA appearances.
Today, Miller lives on a ranch in Oregon with his wife. He enjoys playing bridge and golf — although he said his golf game has gotten so bad he doesn't even have fun anymore — and he continues to watch basketball frequently.
Seidler, who now coaches at Central High School in Phoenix, wrote a book honoring Ralph. The book, A System of Game Execution, not only pays tribute to his accomplishments, but it also teaches the drills and techniques that created his tenacious style.
"I think Ralph was born to coach," his wife said. "At Kansas, that wasn't his great desire, but the coaching happened because of the circumstances and I think he was certainly supposed to be around athletics in some way for his entire life."

Mason is a member of the All-Big 12 preseason first team. In Oklahoma State's two NCAA tournament games last season, the 6-foot-7 Mason scored 54 points, ranking him third in NCAA history for points in the first two rounds.
Gottleb is the consummate floor general, returning as the nation's leader in assists with 8.8 per game. His poor perimeter shooting forced defenses to play off him, but Gottleb spent all summer working on his shot.
"I met with a sports psychologist, and I think it really helped," Gottlieb said. "I'm shooting the ball a lot better, and I have more confidence."
Adkins, who averaged 10 points a game last year, is third in Oklahoma State history in three-point shots with 126. He, along with fellow senior wing Glendon Alexander, will be asked to replace

In the front court, the improvement of 6-10 sophomore Fredrik Jonzen and the additions of 7-0 junior college transfer Jason Keep and 6-6 freshman Andre Williams will bolster the Cowboys' post play.
"Last year team's knew we were a little soft down low, but the guys have really improved." Mason said.

Sampson says team is capable of success despite key losses
By Brandon Krisztal sports@kanson.com Konson sportswriwriter
“Can you get past the first round this year?” was the question Oklahoma men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson fielded at the beginnings of the last five seasons.
The question now has changed to "Can the Sooners get past the Sweet 16 this year?"
Sampson thinks his squad is capable of surpassing last year's team, which finished 22-11 overall and tied for second in the Big 12 Conference with an 11-5 record. The Sooners performed well in the NCAA Tournament and upset fourth-seeded Arizona and fifth-seeded North Carolina-Charlotte before losing 54-46 to Final Four participant Michigan State.
For the Sooners to equal or outdo their 1988 effort, they will

12, tied for second.
Cooch: Kevin Sampson, sixth season.
Key players returning: Forward Eduardo Najera (15.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.8 steals)
Guard Tim Heskett (9.5 points, 2.5 rebounds)
Key players lost: Guard Michael Johnson (11.6 points, 3.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds) Guard Eric Martin (12.1 points, 4.7 rebounds) Forward Ryan Humphrey (11.1 points, 7.5 rebounds)
rely heavily on presseason *Playboy All-America Eduardo Najera*. A najera, a 6-foot-8 senior forward, returns as the team leader in five statistical categories. He averaged 15.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocked shots per game.
Najera, who can shoot well enough to play a small forward, will be counted on to play down low a lot this season.
"I think I'm going to play a little more power forward," Najera said. "Playing at the four doesn't mean I'm gonna post up all the time, but that's why I tried to gain weight to play down there."
Najera is one of six players returning to a team that lost five lettermen. Key losses for the Sooners come in the back court, where they lost point guard Michael Johnson and wings Eric Martin and Alex Spaulding. They also lost for forward Ryan Humphrey, who transferred. They combined for 48 points of offense and almost 20 rebounds per game.
Despite the losses, Sampson is confident in his team.
"This is a little bit of a unique team," Sampson said. "Coaches can say all they want, but they pay attention to the preseason polls. I've noticed that we've been high in a lot of people's opinions despite losing four starters off last year's team.
"I think it's a credit to the program," he said. "That means there's high expectations.
Cowgirls ready for young star

Raytown freshman may start on team

Like most Big 12 Conference teams, the Oklahoma State women's basketball team expects to be better than its record last season.
However, the team is not convincing everyone else.
Last season, the Cowgirls went 13-15 and finished conference play with a 4-12 record. 11th in the conference. This season, they are picked to finish 11th again, but coach Dick Halterman said he expected to finish higher.
"We are a better team than we were a year ago," he said. "There are a lot of questions as to who will play

Halterman recruited Chantyco Hawkins, a freshman from Raytown, Mo., at point guard. Halterman said that he thought Hawkins would see significant playing time.
team all-district. As a senior, she averaged 25.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.8 steals per game en route to becoming first team all-area, all metro, all-state and the Suburban Small Seven Conference Player of the Year.
At Raytown South High School, Hawkins was a three-time first team all-conference and two-time first
"She is good from three-point range and she can also bring the ball to the hole." Halterman said. "I will probably start her as a freshman, but it is tough for a freshman to come in and play point guard."
Before it can make an impact on the Big 12, Oklahoma State needs to see a significant improvement in its scoring ability.
One of the keys to the Cowboys scoring attack is senior guard Jennifer Crow, who led the team in scoring (17.3 points per game), rebounding (5.1 rpg), steals (4.7 psg) and three-point shots made (51). She also led the conference with a free-throw percentage of 83.2.

Oklahoma plans to rely on experience

Last season, Oklahoma finished with a 15-14 record, 8-8 in the Big 12 Conference. This season, Big 12 coaches and the media picked the team to finish sixth in the conference.
However, Coale said she expected.
a lot more from this team.
"I heard the results of the coaches' poll on the radio and the radio announcer was excited, but I was mad," Coale said. "Once I started thinking about it, the teams that are picked ahead of us deserve to be there. I guess we were fortunate to be picked where we are, but it isn't where you start, it's where you finish."
Oklahoma lost seven letter winners but returned all five starters, including preseason All-American forward Phylesha Whaley. Whaley averaged 19.6 points per game last season and became the 14th player in Oklahoma history to score 1,000 points.
The Sooners lead the league in scoring last season and now have added experience that they hope will help them win close games.
Sophomore guard Stacey Dales said that she thought it would be a

"This team does not have too many limitations," Dales said. "Last year was a roller coaster, but now I have a year under my belt to learn the system and I am excited about this offense and this team. I think we will see things that we have never seen before in Oklahoma. There's no telling what will happen."

Bowlers on a roll to build on last year's achievements
By Jason Walker sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas bowling team wants to repeat the success of last year as it rolls into a new season.
Last year, the men's team qualified for the national tournament in Wichita, where it finished ninth. Although three of the top five bowlers from that team have graduated, this year's team is confident that it can repeat the performance.
Kansas coach Michael Fine said that last year would be hard to follow but that he was happy with this year so far.
"We have got a lot of new interest as a result of last year," he said. "I'm pleased with the interest the program has developed with KU students."
The team, sponsored by Jaybowl, has traveled to two tournaments already this year and has achieved some success. On the weekend of Oct. 16, the bowlers took teams of five men and five women to the Hoosier Classic in Indianapolis for their first tournament of the year. The men finished 11th out of 37 teams, while the women took ninth out of 28. Fine said the tournament was a good way tr

start the season.
"Both the men and women had good showings," he said. "We wanted to get our new people out there and really test ourselves."
The next weekend the 'Hawks traveled to Chicago for a larger tournament and fared well. The men took 20th out of 52 teams, and the women finished 11th out of 27. Michael Keller, St. Charles, Mo., sophomore, bowled the tournament's three-game series high, a 726. He also finished third out of 322 bowlers in total pinfall, averaging 219 points for the eight games he bowled. Keller said his performance was important but the team's success came before his own.
"It felt good from an individual standpoint," he said.
"But the team didn't do quite as well as we hoped."
Keller, one of three academic All-Americans on the team last year, said the main focus of this year's team was to return to the national tournament in April.
"That's our main goal," he said. "We have a lot of dedicated players and with hard work we can do it again."
Fine said it was positive that the men had reached nationals last year, but this year it was his goal for the women to qualify as well.
"Both teams grasp that it is a long season, and they have to be dedicated," he said. "We're doing everything we can to be the best that we can in April."
Fine also said he was proud of the bowlers for the effort and commitment they put into the team. He said although almost anyone could bowl, it took special people to be as dedicated as the Javawk bowlers.
"These guys truly are athletes," he said. "With the level of competition and the large amount of stress they face, it's a real testimony to their work ethic. They have the desire to excel and make KU one of the elite bowling programs in the country."

Small-town Kansas women find big success in rowing

These rowers have moved from towns with populations less that 4,000 to Division I sports.

Jayhawk athletes come from across the country, usually from large cities.
Sometimes, stars from small Kansas towns also shine for the 'Hawks. Abby Rosdahl, senior rover, comes from one-traffic-light-in-the-entire-town of Nortonville, population 643.
"My freshman year at KU, I went to Lawrence High's homecoming game," Rosdahl said. "There were more people in the band than in my entire high school."
Rosdahl almost wasn't a Division I athlete. She finished her volleyball and basketball careers at Jefferson County North High School, also Kansas coach Rob Catloth's alma mater, and thought she was headed to Kansas strictly for academics. During her senior year in high school, her best friend, Catloth's cousin, suggested that Rosdahl row for the Jawhacks.
"Ever since junior high, I wanted to go to KU," Rosdahl said. "I didn't think I could go to my favorite school and play varsity athletics."
Rosdahl might not be from the largest city in Kansas, but she helped the Jayhawks win the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship in May. The IRA is the rowing equivalent of basketball's National Invitational Tournament. Kansas also was ranked 22nd

though she is the first Division I athlete from Troy.
She said rowing was not popular in this part of the country, while football was life in rural Kansas.
"Right now everyone is talking about two players from Troy walking on the football team here," Rosenberger said. "I don't think people realize I'm on the varsity team now."

Some people in Lawrence don't realize she is a varsity athlete, either.

in the final NCAA poll in the spring. All rowers in that championship boat were former walk-ons, with junior Heather Muir from Eden Prairie, Minn., being the lone non-Kansas.
"People don't realize what I do," Rosdahl said. "They think rowing is just something I do on the weekends."
Many college athletes are celebrities in their hometowns. Horton now has John Crider Day in honor of the Jayhawk basketball player. There is no Abby Rodsdahl Day in Nortonville, which is 25 miles north of Lawrence.

Sports have been in Rosenberger's blood since grade school. In high school, athletics almost consumed her school year, with one-week breaks between volleyball, basketball and track. After track season her senior year, Rosenberger was burned-out. She needed a change.
"Rowing was a new, interesting and exciting sport," Rosenberger said. "What I do here is not a product of what I did in high school." Rosenberger said the younger kids in Troy looked up to her, and people were proud because she is part of a major university.
Ellen Remsing could win a "largest-small town award" among the three rowers. Remsing graduated from Wamego High School, Wamego, near Manhattan, has a population of 3,706. The town sports a Pizza Hut, a McDonald's and a Taco Bell.
Remising originally is from Alaska but moved to Wamego before her junior year in high school. Remsing, like Rosdahl and Rosenberger, began her collegiate career in a new sport.
Walking away from Strong Hall after enrolling her freshman year, Remising was approached by Catloth about rowing.
"Someone was coming behind telling me to stop," Remsung said. "I thought I messed up something with enrolling."
Remising said Catloth told her about the possibility of competing in varsity athletics.
"I was in the right place at the right time," Remsing said.
Sunday at the Head of the Iowa Regatta in Iowa City, Remsung was on the gold medal-winning Open Four boat.
"I never thought I was going to be a college athlete," Remsa said.
Remsing said that while she was at a basketball game at Wamego, a girl asked if she could wear Remming's letter jacket while her father took a picture.
"My biggest fan is my little sister," Remsing said.
Catloth said rowers from across the state were a major component of the team.
"The meat of our sport consists of rowers from all over Kansas," Catloth said. "They're good athletes. They've helped us to be consistently in the top 20 in the nation."

Lady Raiders to adjust to new Big 12 status
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansas writerwriter
Back-to-back Big 12 Conference regular season and tournament champions Texas Tech finds itself in an unfamiliar position this season — that of the underdog.
After losing seniors Rene Hanebutt, Cara Gibbs, Julie Lake and Angie Braziel, who accounted for 48.2 points, 18.1 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, the Lady Raiders are picked in the preseason coach's poll to finish fifth in the conference.
Last season, the team finished with a 30-4 record, 14-2 in the Big 12, and Coach Marsha Sharp said she hoped that the returning players had gained enough experience to continue the winning tradition.
"We compare well to the other teams in the Big 12, but we don't have a lot of returners," Sharp said. "Our practice and mentality is as good as it has ever been in history, and this is because of the seniors. They know what to do to win even though they haven't been go-to players in the past."
Senior guard Melinda Schmucker-Pharies said that the seniors are prepared for their role change and the responsibility that comes with it.
"We have to work on our offense and contribute more points this season," Schmucker-Pharies said. "We also have to be better leaders. We aren't as vocal, but we are ready to step up and help the teams win. We are the two-time defending champs. We know we have the homecourt advantage, and people come to Lubbock wanting to win. We have the underdog role this season, and that is fine with us."
Texas Tech adds several good recruits this season, including

two standouts from Kingwood High School in Texas, AllAmerican Plenette Pierson and Texas Player of the Year Courtney Pastner. Also a newcomer, 6-foot-7 center Jamie Nagle will be the tallest player for the Lady Raiders.
**Outlook:** Though the back-to-back Big 12 champions lost four key players this season, those remaining still know how to win. Key recruits Courtney Pastner, Plenite Pierson, Jamie Nagle and Nikki Hendrix will add dimension, but the team still will depend on senior leadership to lead it into the NCAA tournament. The Lady Raiders probably will not finish as high as they are accustomed, but they should still make some noise in the Big 12 and finish high enough to make the NCAA tournament.
"We know what it takes to win, and we know how to do what it takes to win." Sharp said. "The conference is pretty rugged, but we can do well if we protect our homecourt advantage and find a way to steal a few on the road."
Though she lost several key players, Sharp is confident that her team will produce the same kind of results Texas Tech has come to expect during the last few years.

Texas Tech boasts experienced players
sports@kansan.com
The Texas Tech Red Raiders and Coach James Dickey plan on turning some heads this year in the Big 12 Conference with a team that returned all but two players.
Kansan sportswriter
The Red Raiders will be led on the court by senior point guard Rayford Young. Young was the team's leading scorer last year, averaging 16.4 points per game. Kansas fans might remember him from last season when he scored a career-high 41 points as Texas Tech upset the Jayhawks 90-84 in Lubbock.
"It was just a game where I caught on fire," Young said. "I'm sure I was shooting a lot of shots Coach Dickey wouldn't have wanted me to, but they kept going in. If you look at the game, as much as I've had, you'll realize how good we could be."
irst
Young will be joined in the backcourt by Big 12 All-Freshman guard Andy Ellis. He averaged nine points and 4.3 rebounds last season, which were both second among conference freshman. Ellis will be asked to pick up the scoring lost by byfall wingman Stanley Bonewitz, who played almost 35 minutes a contest and contributed more than 12 games a game.
The backcourt also will be improved with the addition of sophomore Moses Malone Jr., a transfer from Houston.

The leader in the Red Raiders frontcourt will be the senior power forward Cliff Owens, who is injured and will not be ready for competition until the start of conference. Last year, he was named to the Big 12 All-Underrated team with his 10.4 points and a team-high seven rebounds per game.
For the Red Raiders to be successful, they must have solid contributions from the junior college players they brought in last season. Most notably, they are counting on senior small forward Brodney Kenard to stem up.
"We were inconsistent," Dickey said. "When we had brought juco guys in in the past we did it periodically, and last year we did it all at once and we need to be more consistent." "Brodney really improved, but we needed him to knock down the medium range shot. One thing I

wanted to give these guys was confidence, and I think we have."
Texas Tech will unveil the newest stadium in the conference when it opens the doors to the United Spirit Arena on Nov. 19 and plays against Indiana.
Outlook: Texas Tech underachieved, by Dickey's standards, the last two seasons. The Red Raiders never recovered from the loss of scoring threat Cory Carr to the NBA. Also, inconsistent play in the frontcourt and poor shot selection forced the Red Raiders out of games down the stretch. They have the core of seniors and enough talent to contend for a tournament berth.
Dickey said he thought that his team.
which finished 13-17 last year overall and 5-11 in conference, had underachieved. But he said he realized that his team had to be more consistent than it was a year ago if it wanted to be more successful in its new home.

Homosexual hate crimes experienced in Lawrence
By Erina R. Barcomb writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence community is learning that hate crimes can happen anywhere.
Both White and his friend are straight.
The Monday forum took place just days after Eric White, Wichita junior, and a friend were allegedly assaulted for being gay.
This week, the second conviction came in the murder trial for Matthew Shepard, a gay college student who was beaten to death, and the Freedom Forum had a panel discussion at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., about hate crimes targeting gays in Lawrence.
"I felt fairly helpless in the whole situation," White said. "I was under the impression if I got the story out there, people would see that is not just a gay problem but a societal problem."
"As I walked by, they said 'There are a couple of faggots,'" he said. "We couldn't believe their comments."
White said his friend made a sarcastic remark that suggested the friends were gay.
White said that when he spoke at the discussion, he relayed what happened early Friday morning in downtown Lawrence when he and his friend came across five men while walking down Eighth Street toward Massachusetts Street.
"Whether they took that as us being smart-asses or if we were gay, they found it reason enough," he said.
White said he asked the men if they had homophobic issues. He said then his friend was punched but managed to get to Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., to call the police.
White said he was taken to some bushes where he was held down and beaten, but he too made it to Teller's. Once he made it inside, he said, an employee locked the door.
"I've been left wondering whether they're wondering if we were gay, or whether they just wanted to challenge our manhood," White said.
White said the police discouraged him

Young Democrats oppose proposed alcohol policies
The KU Young Democrats are opposing any attempts by the Student Housing Advisory Board to tighten alcohol policies in Student Housing.
Policies to ban intoxication in housing, to ban empty containers and to make all people in a room liable if any person is drinking could be presented to the board for adoption this semester after months of consideration by housing officials.
However, Jack Martin, president of KU Young Democrats, said any further restrictions could jeopardize students' rights.
"It's not illegal for people 21 and over to be intoxicated at home under Kansas law," Martin said. "Just as it is not illegal in Kansas for someone to possess an empty beer bottle."
Housing's potential policy would not prevent students from entering their residences while intoxicated, however.
Still, Martin said any effort to clamp down likely would be unsuccessful. "It's difficult if not impossible to regulate people's behavior," Martin said. "We're college students. We're not in elementary school."
He said members of KU Young Democrats, about half of whom lived in student housing, seemed opposed unanimously to any policy tightening, largely because further restrictions would be nearly impossible to enforce.
"Is student drinking in student housing a problem? Yeah," he said. "But this is not the way to solve it."

National Merit Scholars to be honored at game
That will change tomorrow, when he will be one of the more than 150 National Merit scholars recognized at the Kansas-Baylor game during halftime. Chancellor Robert Hemenway
invited the scholars and their families to attend the game for free, as well as a pregame brunch.
Of 301 scholars at the University, 157 had confirmed their attendance Wednesday afternoon. More than 550 family members also will attend
"It's a chance to see my folks," Bettenhaus said. "It's really the first time they've come over for a weekend so far."
J. D. Jenkins, Shawnee junior, also took the opportunity to spend time with his family.
"I'm glad to do it because it's important to my parents, and they really want to do it," he said. "Everybody else I've talked to is trying to get out of it."
During halftime, the scholars will be lauded with a minute-long presentation on the stadium video board and then will file onto the football field.
Hemenway sent the letter inviting the scholars and their families Oct. 15.
"What we're all interested in is that we give some recognition to the large number of National Merit scholars who have enrolled at KU," he said. "We think people are voting with their feet."
Hemenway will address the group before the game on Saturday.

"It sends a message that KU is a major athletic power and a major academic institution," Hemenway said. "Just as we cheer football players and basketball players, it seems appropriate we take time to cheer people who are academic successes also."

50,000 Aceh residents demand independence from Indonesia
The Associated Press
SIGLI, Indonesia—Demanding an independence vote, more than 50,000 people rallied peacefully yesterday in Indonesia's westernmost province, banging drums and chanting, "Referendum! Freedom! Independent state!"
The march through Sigli, a market town in the province of Aceh, was the biggest demonstration since Indonesia's new government came to power two weeks ago. Organizers said it was designed to increase pressure on President Abdurrahman Wahid, who in the past promised to support a vote for the province of 4.3 million people but since has backtracked.
Independence activists claim Aceh never really has been a part of Indonesia, like East Timor, whose residents voted for independence in a U.N.-sponsored ballot on Aug. 30. Aceh residents complain about the government siphoning off most proceeds from the province's rich oil and natural gas deposits and brutally repressing the separatist movement.
The word "referendum" was written everywhere in and around Sigil, normally a town of 20,000 people — on whitewashed walls, on stitches holding up traditional wooden houses, on telephone poles, on banners hanging from street signs and in huge white letters on the streets.
"We have had enough of Javanese colonial rule," said a member of the guerrilla group that helped organize the rally, asking not to be named for fear of retribution. "We will fight until they give in."
About 2,000 trucks, vans and pickups — packed with people carrying broken-off palm branches to shield themselves from the scorching sun — drove through Sigi't to call for independence.
Indonesian soldiers looked on sulently as the noisy procession snaked past their headquarters. In contrast, local policemen waved back at the demonstrators and held up clenched fists, a symbol of the resistance movement.
The rally followed a visit to the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, on Tuesday by several Acehnese regional parliamentarians, who delivered this ultimatum to the government: Agree within one month to hold an independence referendum or residents will conduct their own.
Wahid already has made concessions, granting Aceh more autonomy, opening talks with the rebel Free Aceh Movement and withdrawing soldiers who were sent in to quell the rebellion.
The military said yesterday the pullout would be completed by the end of the month and named an Acehnese to the country's No. 2 military post.
However, military spokesman Maj. Gen. Sudrajat said it was unrealistic for Aceh to expect an independence referendum. He said Indonesia had ruled the territory for so long that it would never give it up.
Foreign Affairs Minister Alwi Shihab said the government was looking at ways to better Aeh's quality of life, including increasing the revenue from the oil and gas sales.
But both Shihab and Wahid warned that granting Aceh a referendum could doom Indonesia, a sprawling, ethnically diverse country of 210 million people that also has separatist movements in Irian Jaya and Ambon.
"If you open the gate, disintegration will be in place," Shahib said.
Indonesia has just ceded control over East Timor, a former Portuguese colony it invaded in 1975.

Theologian criticizes Darwinist theory
Biologist supports intelligent design
By Jim O'Malley Special to the Kansan
Microbiologist and theologian Jonathan Wells began a speech on Wednesday night with a confession. "I love controversy." he said.
Have controversy, he said.
And that's what he got at his lecture at 104 Green Hall. Most of the questions from the audience of about 125 expressed disagreement with Wells' criticism of Darwinist theory and his advocacy of intelligent design, the idea that an intelligent agent designed living things, as an alternative to genetic mutation and natural selection.
Critics in that audience said scientists were not as dogmatic as Wells claimed. Others took issue with specific points such as Wells' claim that there was no evidence of favorable mutations above the molecular level. Robert Hagen, adjunct assistant professor of entomology, said that Wells cited many scientific studies to support his argument but that he did so incompletely and selectively.
Wells was invited to speak at the School of Law by the KU Christian Legal Society. Caleb Stegall, president of the society, said his group wanted a speaker who could provide some balance to the discussion of the evolution controversy on campus.
Before the speech, Wells said the Kansas Board of Education showed courage in resisting pressure to make Darwin's theory the dogmatic basis for all biology. But he said the board should not have removed Darwinian evolution from the state's science standards.
they can about Darwinism — including the evidence against it," Wells said.
Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy, said intelligent design was not a scientific theory and was solely a philosophic critique of the naturalistic methodology of

EAGLE
theory, I would like to see some predictions that can be used to test it.
In his lecture, Wells argued that the evidence supporting Darwinian evolutionary theory was flimsy and in some cases nonexistent.
Wells said that that it was not a fact
that all living things were modified descendants of a common ancestor. He said the evidence showed only that mutation and natural selection worked at the molecular level within species.
He said that Darwinian theory was not a silly idea but not proven either.
Tim Miller, professor of religious studies, said intelligent design should be irrelevant to the evolution/creation debate.
"But once we have design, by implication we have a designer," Miller said. "Intelligent design is a Trojan horse that seeks through seemingly hard scientific analysis to move religion into the public arena in a way that violates our historic separation of church and state."
Wells said dogmatic Darwinism was incompatible with religion and led inevitably to materialism and atheism.

THE SCHOOL FOR THE HANDICAPS
BSU members share experiences in forum

Representatives from Black Student Union shared African-American experience at the University with scholarship hall residents last night.
About 20 students and faculty gathered at Miller Scholarship Hall to talk about issues African-American students face on campus. Before the forum, the BSU representatives ate dinner with residents of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall.
Bradley Harrah, Battenfeld Scholarship Hall director, said the event would be part of similar
forums to come. He said Battenfeld would invite Hispanic American Leadership Organization to dinner Nov. 18.
"My experience in the schol halls so far has been that, superficially, there is not a lot of diversity represented," Harrah said.
The forum involved a panel of five African-American students who answered questions from scholarship hall students. Most of the questions revolved around the representatives' everyday experiences.
"My experience at the University is that there are a lot of organizations like BSU and the Office of Multicultural Affairs that help you out," said Eve Lane, St. Louis junior. "Minorities rely heavily on
other minorities for support."
The issue of organizations aimed at African-American students was discussed as well.
"I think it's important because of differences in cultures," said Tanisha Jones, Wichita junior.
She said African-American organizations served as a springboard to leadership positions in other organizations.
The residents and the BSU representatives brainstormed ways to bring diversity into the scholarship hall system. Ideas included recruiting potential scholarship hall residents at the Office of Minority Affairs and conducting community service projects between scholarship halls and
African-American sororities and fraternities.
Some representatives said they were reminded on a daily basis that they were different from the majority of KU students.
Joe Carter, South Bend, Ind., Junior, had an initial negative experience at the University when he was called a derogatory name his first day in Lawrence.
Carter said the low number of minorities in classes created added pressure.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm representing my whole race," he said. "When I say things I want them to be right."

Robinson the place for recreation center
Addition would provide maximum benefit
The debate surrounding the building of a new recreation center rages on, bogged down in the details as usual. One more decision has to be made, though, and it
Chancellor Robert Hemenway must decide on the best location for the new recreation facility. One of the options is to build an addition to Robinson Center — in other words, not a new, free-standing building. Building this addition is the best option.
First, some background. The issue of the recreation center was a hot topic during last spring's campaign. Propaganda from both sides of the issue was spread across campus, and a great deal of this information was misleading.
Research on the issue was conducted by the Recreation Task Force, which polled 463 students to find out the feelings about recreation on campus. The numbers could be interpreted to support both sides of the issue. About 78 percent of the students were at least satisfied with the current situation, but 67.4 percent of the students said recreation should be a priority in the future.
After this research was conducted, a proposal for a free-standing building was drawn up by the Recreation Task Force and put on the ballot last spring. The referendum asked
if students would be willing to pay $15 per semester in 2000-01 and $49 per semester in subsequent years, in addition to the current recreation fee of $13. With only 20 percent of students voting, the referendum passed 2817-1238. However, it is non-binding. The fee increase, and in essence the building, must be approved by the chancellor and the Board of Regents.
After the referendum passed, a vocal group continued to express opposition to the $15.5 million building. These students felt that a cheaper, more efficient option was not adequately considered — an addition to Robinson. Opponents of the referendum had been told that an addition to Robinson was not an option. But it is an option and the best choice in terms of location, cost-effectiveness and practicality.
The Recreation Task Force wants the new center to be south of Watkins Memorial Health Center, which is one of the locations that Hemenway is considering. This location would accommodate a free-standing structure and future expansion, which, given the relatively small size of the proposed center, would be required sooner than later (likely impacting student fees again).
The University of Kansas ranks last among Big 12 schools in square footage of recreational facilities. But beware, the free-stand

Then there is cost-effectiveness. Students would get more bang for their buck with an addition to Robinson for obvious reasons. Brand new locker rooms and a second climbing wall would not be necessary. New parking lots, plumbing and sewage would not have to be built or installed. Perhaps student
These ads were misleading. Even if the ref erendum is enacted by building a free-standing building south of Watkins, the University still would have the smallest recreation center in the Big 12, while asking for the third-highest fee. The proposed center would have 88,500 square feet, about half the size of the Kansas State University center. It is possible that Robinson would continue to provide additional space, but it also is possible that the School of Education would take it over once a free-standing building were built.

improve some
of the current facilities in exchange for greater access to them. Funds that might have been used for infrastructure costs instead could be used for more recreation space.
As for practicality, we want the recreation center to be built. Anything that will speed this process up while still ensuring quality should be pursued vigorously. The fewer hurdles that have to be jumped, the better, because it will allow the project to proceed. An addition would allow for a recreation facility with increased hours. The addition also could add the features the task force wants.
The only clear disadvantage to a Robinson addition is that it would not be its own building and would not be "the students' recreation center." But with proper planning, all

If students are paying the third highest recreational fee in the Big 12, they should at least have a recreation center in the top 10 in size.

Perspective
United States should join Bradley's child poverty agenda
A few weeks ago, I got the opportunity, along with about 3,000 Iowaans, to meet Bill Bradley at a Democratic fundraiser.
Bradley, a self-described underdog in the battle for the 2000 Democratic presidential nomination, was definitely the most interesting part of the night, even though current front-runner Al Gore also was present.
Gore did his best to present an outsider, good ol' boy image and even walked in front of the podium Liddy-style. He tried to fire up the crowd with talk about how he had decided to "stay and fight," implying that Bradley gave up when he left the Senate in the early '90s. When he left the stage his campaign staff blasted "Love Train" and then "Ready to Run" by the Dixie Chicks. It was weird.
Bradley, on the other hand, took a dignified, mellow approach to his speech. He spoke eloquently about a return to the principles much of the Democratic Party has left behind and taking a serious look at poverty, race and campaign finance reform.
Much of Bradley's appeal comes from his ability to relate to people. Granted, most people never play basketball in the NBA, but Bradley is definitely no dumb jock. He graduated from Princeton with an impressive academic record and earned a Rhodes scholarship. He served as a Senate intern in the early '60s and was in the gallery when Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
He said that moment, more than any other, shaped his political future. It's not hard to imagine that a basketball player, who played and lived with African-
American athletes all the time, realized the importance of the bill. Watching Strom Thurmond's attempt to kill the bill with a filibuster would make Pat Buchanan blush.
The amazing thing about Bradley is that he puts principles above polling. He is doing what he believes is right, while most of his competition, both Democrats and
2015
Seth Hoffman associate opinion editor opinion@kansasan.com
Republicans,
don't butter
their toast without checking the numbers.
An example of his commitment to principle is his goal to lift the United States' 45 million poor children out of poverty. It's a rare politician who makes impoverished children a major
campaign issue. No matter what you promise them, they can't vote, and they won't contribute much to your campaign, so they're almost universally overlooked.
The second major issue of the Bradley campaign is race. In 1996, in what was supposed to be an endorsement, Newt Gingrich said that Republican vice presidential nominee Jack Kemp had "showered with more African Americans than most Republicans have ever met." Wow. That statement, made in the last presidential race, shows how far race relations have to go. Even Newt Gingrich says that the people we have been electing traditionally haven't been properly dealing with race in the United
States. Race isn't necessarily a good campaign issue, and Bradley probably will have a tough time convincing Southern voters that something does need to be done. But again, he understands that doing what's right isn't always popular.
I'm not sure about Bradley's odds of winning the nomination, and until I saw him, I didn't think he had a chance. I think the same will be true for the rest of the nation. Nationally, Gore leads Bradley in the polls by a safe margin. However, Bradley is leading in New Hampshire, where he has been concentrating his effort and people actually have heard what he has to say. That probably scares Gore, and it should. Gore can see that as more people are introduced to Bill Bradley, the more people jump on the Bradley bandwagon.
In an election in which voters seemed to be fascinated by the glitteratti threatening to enter the race, it might come down to a battle of who has the coolest friends, and Bradley certainly has some. At the event I attended, Bradley brought former basketball player Bill Walton and singer Bruce Hornsby. It was rumored that Michael Jordan would attend, but he didn't show. Al Gore brought a plane load of White guys with concealed weapons.
When it comes right down to it, I hope voters won't choose someone just because he has a lot of famous friends. But if that's what it takes so that American kids don't have to take turns eating, I'm prepared to make a little sacrifice. So should you.

Intellectual pursuit only goes so far in academia
"O n Wednesday night, a huge crowd flocked to Green Hall at the University of Kansas to hear a speech by noted
or Kansas to hear a speech by noted molecular biologist Jonathan Wells of the Seattle-based Discovery Institute. Students and professors alike attended the Wells lecture as part of their ongoing intellectual pursuit of knowledge on the subject of the origin of the universe.
In October, the KU academic community was fortunate to hear a lecture by author and Harvard professor Stephen Jay Gould, who specializes in paleontology and evolutionary biology. Gould offered a compelling case in favor of the evolution theory of the universe's origin and spoke against the Kansas State Board of
spoke against the Kansas Education's decision to deemphasize the teaching of macroevolution.
This time it was Wells' turn to share his scientific perspective, which favors intelligently designed life as opposed to life arising by chance or natural processes, as believed by many evolutionists. The crowd buzzed with excitement as it anticipated the opportunity to hear another scientific viewpoint on this oft-debated and always controversial subject. The evening was one of
POLICE

respect and intellectual inquiry enjoyed by one and all, as is so often the case in the spirit of open exchange of ideas at the University.
Next month, the discussion of this subject will continue as another professor will address yet a different aspect of the complex origin debate called young-earth creationism."
Unfortunately, the above account is mostly fiction. It's true that both Wells and Gould recently gave lectures at the University, but the circumstances surrounding the lectures are quite different.
Gould's October visit to the University was heavily promoted and well attended. Fliers dotted the campus, local newspapers ran previews announcing the arrival of the Great Gould and some professors offered a bit of a bribe in the form of extra credit to students who attended the lecture. This was an opportunity to learn from an academic giant.
It's true that Gould comes from the Ivy League, is a best-selling writer and is something of a celebrity in academic circles. He has
earned many people's respect, and the University was lucky to play host to someone of his standing.
But let's be honest — there was more to his successful visit than the opportunity to learn. A big part of the reason that Gould was such a sensation was that academics were salvating to hear Gould bash our Board of Education. People were falling all over themselves to have their viewpoints affirmed by someone from the big league. It was an opportunity to once again thumb our collective nose at the Board of Education.
Politics? Not at the University. Close mindness? Never in academia. After all, we're open to many viewpoints, embrace research and academic criticism, and love to engage in conversation, even when we disagree with others. We're all about the pursuit of knowledge.
So then why was Wells received so differently than Gould? After all, Wells earned a doctorate from the University of California-Berkeley and also came to offer some criticism of the board. He even distances himself from those who say the earth is only 10,000 years old.
But the crowd at his speech was estimated to be only 125, consisting primarily of non-students, compared to the 2,000 plus who turned out for Gould. Where was the media attention? Where was the extra credit? Where was the eagerness to learn?
All of that was buried in ideology. Wells has the audacity to actually claim that there is an intelligent design behind this magnificent and intricate creation in which we live. He doesn't believe it just happened or evolved from a random explosion, but at the same time, he doesn't necessarily attribute it to God. He simply says there is something intelligent behind the universe's origins, and he backs his claims with evidence.
I'm sure some of his criticism of neoDarwinian theory isn't too popular with many folks around here. But it deserved a fair hearing. Wells talks about genetic mutation, embryology, fossil records, homology and other juicy scientific stuff. Are we afraid to hear it, lest our anti-creator orthodoxy come crumbling down?
Sure, we're open to ideas. Just don't get too creative or dare to ask too many questions about widely accepted theories. It can get pretty lonely. Just ask Jonathan Wells.

Feedback Regents should not be elected
Aaron Major's column concerning the composition of the Board of Regents shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of such boards. He contends that successful professionals do not possess the ability to properly manage the state's higher education system. These people are in fact the best people for the job. Educational goals can appropriately be set by people who know what kind of skills businesses need in new employees.
Mr. Major is also concerned
that the capitalist ideas these professionals hold are a detriment to the educational system. The truth is that we live in a capitalist society; therefore, it is obvious that the education system in such a society would reflect the capitalism that exists.
Finally, Mr. Major states: "The state of Kansas could become a pioneer of progressiveness (needed in light of the evolution decision) and have the Board of Regents members elected, not appointed." This argument was not carefully thought through. The evolution decision was made by the elected
Matthew Hendel

State Board of Education. If the voters of Kansas would elect the people who removed evolution from testing, who says they wouldn't elect similar people to the Board of Regents? Control of the higher education system should stay in control of appointed men and women who have ties to the professional community.

"They have a lot of tenants who move out in the middle of the night rather than pay a lot of back rent," he said. "A landlord can't file a civil suit if they can't find them."
Liz Luck, a property manager for Master Plan Management, 2016 W. Sixth St., said she did not use investigators for pre-rental screening but would use one for locating tenants who had skipped out on their leases.
She said one example was a current Kansas football player who skipped out on a lease agreement he signed in March. Because he is a student and has no income, it would be impossible to recover the money he owes, Luck said.
"We'd use a private investigator to find him after he graduates and see if he's working," she said.
After he found employment, Luck said, a suit could be filed and the debt could be taken from his wages.
She said that the football player in question was a terrible tenant who trashed his room and that she would love to get the money he owes.
The football player could not be reached for comment.

General information discovered easily in database search

In a bout of masochistic curiosity, we asked Cecilia Wood, a licensed private investigator and owner of Lawrence-based Wood Investigative Services, to research the two of us.
Working on deadline, we didn't have the time to ask for an all-out surveillance, but Wood agreed to run our names through her database — the first step in any case.
In one hour, she had gathered two pages on Katie and three on Derek. Derek's information was more thorough, but he is six years older. Kathine R. Halloran

Sadly, Derek's warrant in Nebraska did not register. On the bright side, the report took a year off his age, mistakenly listing the year of his birth as 1974 — it's actually 1973.
Wood said it was difficult to find a lot of things about college students because they had few credit cards and loans.
Wood said the database she used, the National Comprehensive Report, was not available to the public. The areas it searches include business directories, licensing databases, active military personnel, vehicle registrations and state department of corrections databases.

from pressing charges because the police said battery had to have witnesses.
"They did say we could do it," he said. "They told us it wouldn't do any good."
White said that he filed a police report. Wednesday night but that his friend would not.
Discussion provides insight to hate crimes
Sgt. George Wheeler said police had information on the suspects, who are Nebraska residents. He said they had not been recontacted yet.
Christine Robinson, graduate teaching assistant in sociology, said she found out about the incident from a friend in Ohio, White's brother, who happened to be gay.
"Police have no place in making legal decisions for someone wanting to file a report," she said.
Buck Rowland, host of KJHK's "Queer Radio," said he, too, had witnessed harassment in downtown Lawrence and was attacked himself four years ago.
"I have so many straight friends who get called 'faggot' downtown."
Rowland said. "How do we handle these idiots who want to beat people up?"
He estimated that he heard about five harassment incidents a week.
Rowland said he had a theory about why incidents took place in Lawrence, a town perceived as gay-friendly. He said because the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community in Lawrence was more visible, people who wanted to target gays might be drawn to Lawrence.
Rowland said the discussion on Monday, which included representatives from the KU Public Safety Office and the Lawrence Police Department, might have made some progress.
He said Lawrence police had become aware that gays did not feel comfortable going to the police. He also said people needed to be aware of the police's limitations.
"What we experience as queer people is that when we are attacked, it is what most victims experience," he said. "It's not just a queer problem — it's everyone's problem."

Shepard's killer makes deal to avoid death penalty
The Associated Press
LARAMIE, Wyo. — Aaron McKinney, who beat gay college student Matthew Shepard and left him to die on the prairie, avoided the death penalty yesterday by agreeing to serve life in prison without parole and promising never to appeal his conviction.
"I would like nothing better than to see you die, Mr. McKinney, but
Shepard's parents agreed to the deal.
now is the time to begin the healing process," Shepard's father, Dennis, said in court.
"Every time you celebrate Christmas, a birthday, or the Fourth of July, remember Matthew isn't. Every time you wake up in that prison cell, remember you had the opportunity and the ability to stop your actions that night."
McKinney, 22, a high school dropout and drug dealer, is the second defendant in Shepard's slaying to get life in prison. Russell
Henderson, 22, pleaded guilty to murder earlier this year.
McKinney was convicted Wednesday of murder, aggravated robbery and kidnapping for luring Shepard from a Laramie bar, robbing him of $20, lashing him to a fence and cracking his skull with blows from a pistol. Investigators said that robbery was the main motive but that McKinney and Henderson singled out the slightly-built Shepard because he was gay.
Dennis Shepard said his family
wanted the trial to show that the murder.was a hate crime.
"You screwed up, Mr. McKinney," Shepard said. "You made the world realize that a person's lifestyle is not a reason for discrimination, intolerance, persecution and violence."
As Shepard spoke, he paused at times to wipe away tears, his voice breaking. Several jurors wept, along with members of both legal teams, spectators, Shepard's mother, Judy, and friends of the Shepards.
Prosecutor Cal Rerucha caused McKinney's "gay panic" strategy pathetic.
"That's a defense that is atrocious," the prosecutor said. "It should not be used in any court in these United States. It gives people an excuse to harm another person."
Rerucha also said he found it ironic that the defense proposed the deal and asked the Shepards to show any mercy to a person who had murdered their son.

McCourt's new book 'Tis a grand one
By Clare McLellan Kansan book critic
With a little effort, you almost can hear his Irish brogue.
Frank McCourt writes with such affection and frankness that the pages of 'Tis come alive with the tales of an ordinary Irish kid with an extraordinary ambition to realize his dreams.
The follow up to his Pulitzer Prize-winning, #1 bestseller Angela's Ashes, 'Tis resumes the life of author McCourt as he arrives in New York City in 1949. At 19 years old, he leaves his home in Limerick, Ireland, to pursue a future in the land of opportunity. Hoping to be a famous writer and join the ranks of those authors with jackets on the wall at the Lion's Head tavern, he works odd jobs and struggles to survive, always trusting that his work is a means to that end.
His first job is cleaning the lobby of the Biltmore Hotel. He sees the rich college students with book covers that advertise NYU, Fordham, Columbia and wishes he could be in their shoes.
He writes, "It must be grand to be a student with nothing to do but listen to professors, read in libraries, sit under campus trees and discuss what you're learning. It must be grand to know you'll be getting a degree that puts you ahead of the rest of the world." McCourt has a subtle and endearing way of outpling things in perspective.
As the book progresses, we follow McCourt to Europe when he is drafted into the Army, to New York when he takes jobs at warehouses and as he finages his way into NYU. There he meets the beautiful Alberta with whom he falls in love and has an on-again, off-again romance that tears at him for the remainder of the book.
Throughout his experiences, McCourt's Irish heritage follows him. His unmaskable accent, lanky figure, bad teeth and bad eyes will not let him escape the legacy of dual nationalities.
He struggles with teaching jobs at vocational high schools before securing a job at Stuyvesant, a better high school, where he finally commands respect. He is now a middle-aged man wondering where the time went.
"Why is it the minute I open my mouth the whole world is telling me they're Irish and we should all have a drink? It's not enough to be American. You always have to be something else, Irish-American, German-American, and you'd wonder how they'd get along if someone hadn't invented the hyphen."
At the same time, he never abandons his heritage. He tears up when his plane descends on Ireland during his visits home. He sends money from each paycheck to his mother in Limerick to help pay for food and shoes for her and his three brothers.
As the story unfolds, the reader can't help but get caught up in the wonder of the journey McCourt takes us on. It's almost impossible to imagine, without a firsthand account, what it would be

like to be fresh off the boat in New York City, trying to eke out a living in the '50s, convincing yourself this is your dream and how lucky you are just to be there.
While his life never was easy, McCourt never blames others for his shortcomings and failures. He accepts his faults, overcomes some and deals with the rest. It is an illuminating experience.
But at its heart is simplicity. McCourt has many "dark clouds" that float in and out of his head, yet he takes his trials in stride. The Irish have many stereotypes unduly placed upon them, as McCourt shows in his book. Most of us born and raised by American parents never will experience the jokes and put-downs many immigrants dealt with in coming to the United States seeking opportunities their countries could not afford them, opportunities many of us take for granted.
With his candid speech and incredible gift for incorporating dialogue that literally pulls the reader through the book, McCourt offers us a clear glimpse of what it was to be always known as Irish-American — the mick who never passes up a pint.
For McCourt, the statue reminds him of dreams, hopes and aspirations. Some realized, some forgotten, all cherished.
Many times in this book, McCourt finds himself passing the Statue of Liberty as he rides the ferry to and from Staten Island. It always causes him to ponder all the people who have passed the monument before and what it symbolizes for each of them.
The characters he introduces — rich and varied as they are, from landlady to co-workers, brothers to students — become vivid, real people in the reader's mind. Combined with McCourt's repetitive, descriptive style, characters we meet early on are easy to recognize when they resurface.

The Bachelor falls off horse should be put out to pasture
By Brendan Walsh
Kansan movie critic
Chris O'Donnell stars as Jimmie, a 29-year-old swinging bachelor who relishes his freedom and his job at his grandfather's pool table factory. He likens himself and his lifestyle to that of the mustang, and sees no need to change his wild ways. But then a pretty filly comes along in the form of Anne (Renee Zellweger), and everything changes.
Agonizingly slow and predictable, The Bachelor is more painful than a prostate exam. A remake of Buster Keaton's Seven Chances (1925), this movie serves as a prime example of why most classics just don't need to be "updated."
After three years of dating, she tames his heart and lassos him into proposing to her. But disaster strikes, the filly bucks and says no to Jimmie's proposal. Our hero is thrown off. Hardly fazed, the stallion remains relatively confident that in the end he'll be able to corral his love as soon as she calms down.
But the best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry, and Jimmie's world is thrown into havoc when his grandfather dies. In his will, the grandfather leaves Jimmie $100 million and the pool table business. But Jimmy will only receive the money if he gets married by his 30th birthday, which

is two days away.
A mad scramble through Jimmie's ex-girlfriends ensues, but it's difficult to find a willing wife. The dangling carrot of $100 million doesn't seem to be enough to lead any of his ex's into marriage, but Jimmie doesn't really want any of them anyway. He's still hung up on Anne, who isn't at all interested in getting married. Do Anne and Jimmie unite? Why doesn't Anne want to marry Jimmie? It's hard to care by the end of the movie.
Though O'Donnell and Zellweger are their usual charming selves, they can't rescue the oh-so-tired, misogynistic plot. The movie is like a horse with a broken leg: It needs to be shot and sent to the glue factory.

Confidence baits a trap for Baylor Bears

Kansas sportswriter
If Baylor was a person at the bar looking for someone with the most confidence, Kansas would be cooking it breakfast right now.
The Jayhawks are bursting with confidence right now and with good reason. Their shutout of Missouri two weeks ago was the first since 1997, and the 24-17 loss to perennial powerhouse Nebraska was every bit as close as the score indicated. It's a 180-degree turn from the way they played a month ago.
Coming off a 41-7 loss to San Diego State, when the 'Hawks were booed off the field at Memorial Stadium, a lackluster 27-9 win against a winless Southern Methodist team didn't help matters.
Fast-forward four weeks and four games later, and Kansas is playing its best football of the season.
"Time has made us a better foot ball team," Kansas coach Terry Allen said.
Talk to the players on the team and they'll say the reason the 'Hawks are playing better is increased confidence, which came from playing well against one of the best teams in the NCAA. Because, just like in a bar, confidence goes a long way.
The increased confidence should serve the Jayhawks, 3-6 overall, 1-4 in the big 12 Conference, well against Baylor, 1-7 overall, 0-5 in the Big 12. The Bears haven't won since Oct. 2, losing by an average of 34 points. They prefer to run the ball, something the Kansas defense has stuffed recently — allowing an average of only 108 rushing yards the last two games. Before that, Kansas had surrendered 180 yards per game on the ground.
And if Baylor tries to throw the ball, the improved Kansas secondary — which had as much confidence as a wallflower at a junior high dance the first seven games — will be ready.
"We're coming together as a complete defense," safety Kareem High
said. Two changes in the defensive secondary — safety Carl Nesmith and cornerback Muhammad Abdul-Rahim — were implemented against Missouri, giving the secondary improved speed and more physical athletes and, of course, confidence.
"Confidence is probably the No. 1 thing," Allen said. "Those guys were scared to death."
The Jayhawks also will be looking to exact some revenge against Baylor.
Last season, a 31-24 loss to the Bears changed the direction Kansas' season was going. The Jayhawks blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter and dashed their bowl hopes.
"That game a year ago just killed us," Allen said. "That was a sick feeling. They'll be reminded of that."
So motivation, coupled with renewed confidence, should prepare the 'Hawks. If nothing else, they could take their confidence out with them tomorrow night.

California warm-up
'Glorified practice' to test Williams' new strategies for offense and defense
Bv Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Break out the uniforms,game time is here.
After three weeks of wearing their mesh practice jerseys, the Kansas basketball team will suit up in their actual game jerseys for the first time this season as they welcome the California East All-Stars for an exhibition game at 7:05 p.m. tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse (Television: Channels 13 and 62; Radio: 105.9 FM and 1320 AM).
Kansas coach Roy Williams, who traditionally downplays preseason contests, continued to do so Wednesday. Williams said that he looked at the game as more of a glorified practice than anything else.
However, for Jayhawk sophomore forward Jeff Carey a game is a game, and he said that there was nothing like putting on a Jayhawk uniform.
"When you put on that uniform and sit in the locker room before the game, it's a totally different feeling than before a practice." Carey said. "When you run out of the tunnel and hear the 16,000 fans, that's huge. Coach Williams calls it a glorified practice, but I say it's more like an unglorified game."
Tuesday night the California East All-Stars traveled to Syracuse and lost to the Orangemen by only three points, 96-93 — something of which Williams took note.
The meeting will be the Jayhawks' second encounter with the team composed of former college basketball players hailing from California. The squad changes yearly, but generally the team gives colleges across the nation tough contests.
"I'm sure we'll get a test with California," Williams said. "They evidently played Syracuse tough the other night."
Most of the players on the East All-Stars graduated within the past two or three years and attended a variety of universities from Arizona to Valparaiso.

While Williams respects the East All-Stars' talent, he said that his focus would be on evaluating the Jayhawks' progress with their new offensive sets — not the opposing team.
Kansas is Mack Tuck, Tuck, a 6-9 center, played college basketball at Colorado from 1993 to 1996, and although he scored in double figures in all five games against the 'Hawks, he was 0-5 against them.
"We'll write the lineups on the board before the game, and that will be the first time that we will talk about them at all." Williams said. "I think it is better to go in there and not know what you are going to get, and see if you can make adjustments out there on the court."
"We still have to get better on 'D,' and we haven't perfected our offense yet." Carey said. "It's good to get exhibition games because that's the first time some of the players will play in front of a crowd of 16,000, and that's a lot different from practice."
Carey said the exhibition game would be a nice way for everyone to get a chance to play in front of a large crowd.

For the Jayhawks to leave town with a victory, they must try and contain Texas Tech's big-play combination of middle blockers Colleen Smith and Lori Garber. Smith is 6-foot-7 and Garber is 6-3.

The Jayhawks are in the midst of a two-match losing streak. Last Saturday, Kansas lost a 3-0 match at N. Texas.
The loss dropped the Jayhawks to 15-9 overall and 6-7 in the Big 12 Conference.
On Wednesday night, the Jayhawks were shut out again, this time by No. 13 Nebraska. Kansas hit just .141 for the match, while the Cornhuskers hit .244 and had 15 blocks.
"I think there were moments when we played really well," Kansas sophomore setter Molly LaMere said. "If we can put those all together, we can be right up there with Nebraska."
Kansas football: coming soon to a theater near you
Whose opinion do you get when you can't decide which movie to see at the theater.
Friends? Family? The freckle-faced kid at the ticket window?
How about the starting safeties of the Kansas football team? Hadn't thought of them, huh?
Carl Nesmith and Kareem High have some definite opinions about which films are worth seeing.
And they should know. The entire look.
team goes to the movies every Friday night

The team then stays at a hotel, even for home games. But is the ritual a team bonding experience, or simply a way to ensure the players don't get into trouble the night before games?
Matt
"It's when we come together as a group and a team, and just kind of hang out," High said. "We talk to each other about what we're going to do and talk about what we've watched all week on film."

"Maybe." High said. He
laughed and pondered for a second. "Because a lot can happen between Friday morning and Saturday evening come game time. I just think it's good that we get away."
So how do other cinema patrons react when they see more than 90 large men strolling into the theater?
"When they see the buses come up, everybody's rushing to the ticket booth," High said. "They don't know that we've already got our tickets."
"I liked Fight Club," High said. "We have chosen captains that pick the movie. Sometimes we don't agree, but it's cool. We're just trying to get away. It's all right for me to just go see a different movie."
So what movies do they see? Before the Nebraska game it was *Fight Club* — a story of disillusioned men taking years of frustration out by fighting. Not a bad choice considering Kansas hadn't beaten the Big Red in 30 years.
Nesmith, however, doesn't think the team captains actually make the selections.
"That's what they think, but I know who it is," he said. "Fight Club was all right, but I had to go and find out who was picking those movies, and I found out who it was. But I'm not going to tell the name."
The two safeties combined for an incredible 24 tackles in the near upset of eighth-ranked Nebraska.
Whoever it may be, the cinema selector has quite a flair for irony. Before the Missouri game the team saw Bringing Out the Dead, another fitting choice considering the Out team had lost four of its previous five games before blanking the Tigers 21-0.
Nesmith has needed guidance after switching to defense. He played wide receiver at Butler County Community College and quarterback in high school.
But movie critiquing isn't the only area where Nesmith and High work as a team.
"He's come a long way in learning defense.' High said. "He's fast, and he gets to the ball. When he comes with a dominating hit it charges the whole defense. Everybody wants to get one of those hits."
Defensive end Dion Johnson still may have been thinking about the Nicholas Cage flick when, after the victory, he proudly said, "The bird ain't dead."
High and Nesmith agree that they would rather forget that night at the movies.
"It's fun to play with Kareem." Nesmith said. "He's a great strong safety. We communicate well together, and he makes big plays as well as I do. Things I don't know, he'll help me out."
Did watching *Fight Club* help motivate Nesmith to make 14 tackles against Nebraska including a memorable helmet-to-heLM pop on 245-pound running back Dan Alexander?
"That was a bad one," High said. "Don't waste your money. I sat through it, and I watched it, though. It just gave me more time to think about the game."
"Not really. It just made me go to sleep," he said.
So what movies do the two hard-hitting safeties recommend? Varsity Blues — a movie about high school football in Texas—and The Program — the story of new teammates on a college football team who learn to get along.
High played high school football in Garland, Texas, and both Nesmith and High are new to Kansas after transferring from different junior colleges.
Seems appropriate.
And what movie will the team see before tomorrow's Baylor game?
"I'll see anything," Nesmith said. "As long as it's not what we had the last couple weeks."

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 5.
You're busy, and you've got a good support system. Don't undermine that by making life difficult for somebody you love. An older person's request might clash with something your partner wants. Money's important, but it's not as important as love.
Taurus: Todav is a 7.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
Complications are abundant. It's not a good day for travel, so keep that to a minimum. Let your fingers do the walking. Search out the best deal before you buy. You'll save a lot of money with a small but brilliant investment of time.
You look good today. You're smart and imagina tive. Your curiosity could get piqued, too. Be careful, however. The information you gather may not be completely accurate. Sort out the fact from fiction before you act.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
Entertaining at home could work for you during the weekend. Planning is required, however. This may get in the way of a work-related project. The complications are not all your fault. Let people know if it's going to be late and don't feel guilty about it.
Leo: Todav is a 6.
You can fix something around your house and save a lot of money. Of course, if you mess it up, the whole thing will cost you more. If you haven't inspired much confidence yet, maybe it's because you're unsure of yourself. Study more before you act.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
Money and learning are tied together for you right now. It's been said that the more you know, the more valuable you become. You're worried about others' problems, so how will you have time for your own? That could be the key to your success, actually.
Libra: Today is a 7.

Your hopes, dreams and fears are activated today. You've dreamt of making certain things hap pen, but you're not sure how. You hate being indecisive — and you don't have to be. It's a natural part of the creative process. Investigate today and decide later.
There are so many interesting people out there, and there is so little time. You'll have to make some tough choices. You can't be everywhere although you'd love to do that. Batch as many of them together as you can.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.

BIG 12 CONFERENCE
Omaha wants arena for Big 12 tournament
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
"The basketball tournament.
"Denver already has its new arena
(the Pepsi Center)," said Bill Byme
at the big Red Breakfast held weekly
for Nebraska football fans in Omaha.
"And a new arena, it looks like, is
OMAHA, Neb. — The University of Nebraska's athletics director said yesterday he hoped Omaha would build a convention center-sports arena because it could have a shot at playing host to the Big 12 Conference basketball team.
SCORPIO
"And a new arena, it looks like, is
going to go in San Antonio, Texas," Byme said. "I hope they build a new one in Omaha, Nebraska, too. Because our theory is that we'd really like to rotate championships around the conference as these new arenas come open."
Tim Allen, an associate commissioner of the Big 12, told the Omaha World-Herald that Omaha would have a much better chance at playing host to the tournament if it built the arena.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Two weeks of sub-pair performances, one leading to a loss, have not rattled Nebraska coach Frank Sollic said.

It seemed to carry throughout last week at Kansas as the Jayhawks shut out the Huskers in the first half, something no team has done since Arizona State in 1996.
MADISON, Wis. — When Drew Brees met Ron Dayne for the first time, the slim quarterback looked at the burly tailback and saw somebody very much like himself.
Heisman Trophy hopefuls Brees, Davne to battle
They met at a Chicago hotel four months ago, trading bits of conversation among countless interviews at the Big Ten Conference media day. Dayne and Brees compared notes on their experiences as college football stars and student-athletes who have spent their lives exceeding expectations in everything they do.
That would be tomorrow's game, when No. 10 Wisconsin visits No. 17 Purdue in a crucial Big Ten matchup between two bowl teams.
But perhaps even more exciting is the dream showdown between the Heisman Trophy hopeful, "Cool Brees" and "Great Dayne," the signature athletes for their respective programs and two of the nation's most exciting players.
"He seemed like a good guy," Dayne said. "We just talked, because you don't usually get a chance to." Brees said: "It was my first chance to see him and hang out with him a little bit. We laughed a little bit and just wished each other luck and talked about how we were looking forward to this game right here."

NEWARK, N.J. — The president and other officials of the International Boxing Federation were indicted on charges of taking bribes of up to $25,000 from promoters and managers to manipulate rankings.
BOXING
IBF officials accused of fixing rankings
"In the IBF, rankings were bought, not earned," said Robert F. Cleary, first assistant U.S. attorney for New Jersey.
The 32-count indictment, handed up Wednesday by a federal grand jury and unsealed yesterday with the arrest of the IBF president's son, includes charges of conspiracy and racketeering.
The four defendants took in about $338,000, including a $100,000 payment in 1995 for a so-called special exception, according to the
indictment. That was for a heavy-weight champion to defend his title against a boxer previously unranked by the IBF, it said.
The indictment said seven promoters and managers were involved, as well as 23 boxers. They have not been charged and were not named in the indictment. However, the investigation is continuing.
Cleary would not say if a June raid on the Florida offices of promoter Don King was related to the IBF investigation and declined to say if King was a target.
BASEBALL
Lawyer buys Indians for record $320 million
Dolan agreed yesterday to buy the Cleveland Indians for $320 million from Richard Jacobs, who as the team's owner since 1986 built the club from a baseball laughingstock into a model franchise and perennial power.
CLEVELAND — Larry Dolan sat by the radio as a kid in suburban Cleveland, keeping score and dreaming of one day playing shortstop for the Indians.
"My idol was Lou Boudreau," Dolan said. "All I ever wanted to be was Lou Boudreau. It never occurred to me I'd be Bill Veck."
Dolan's acquisition is subject to approval by major league owners, who have taken 6-18 months to consider recent purchase agreements. Jacobs said the transaction should close by the end of March or early April.
The deal appears to be a record for a baseball franchise, topping the $311 million sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers last year from the O'Malley family to the Fox division of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
Dolan, an area lawyer whose wealth
has reportedly come from his stock holdings in Cablevision Systems Corp., said he never could have imagined the Veecked team he rooted for in the 1940s would one day become his own.

Women's tennis team tests skills at regionals

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's tennis team is in the midst of regional competition with 22 other teams this weekend at the Eccles Tennis Center in Salt Lake City.
Kansas, which finished last season
ranked No. 40 nationally, will join eight other ranked teams in the tournament. The Jayhawks also have two singles players at the tournaments who are

TENNIS
ranked in the Top 15 — senior Brooke Chiller and sophomore Cheryl Mallaiah.
The doubles team of senior Julia Sidorova and Chiller (3-1) earned a No. 3 seed, while freshman Tiffany Chang and Mallaiah (5-3) are the No. 9 seed.
On Wednesday, two of Kansas's singles players were eliminated in the qualifying rounds. Freshman Kim Lorenz lost to Tamie Masey of New Mexico State, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, while her teammate sophomore Lisa Malliaiah lost to Big 12 Conference foe Tracy Moore of Colorado, 6-1, 6-0.
The loss dropped Lorenz to 3-7 on the season and Malliah to 7-4.
To qualify into the main draw, Lorenz and Lisa Malliaiah would have needed to win two qualifying matches. Lorenz's opponent, Masey, won her second match and will play in the main draw.
Junior Monica Sekulov, sophomore Christi Wagenaar, Cheryl Mallaiah, Sidorova, Chang and Chiller all completed yesterday in singles and doubles action. Results were not in at press time.
For the second consecutive year, every member of the Kansas team will play in the tournament. The Jayhawks are the only team to have every member play.
Overall, coach Jenny Garrity said she was optimistic about the team's chances at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Rolex Central Regional Championships.
"Looking at the draw, I think we have a good chance of winning a lot of our matches at the tournament," she said. "This tournament will test our team to see how much we have improved over the past two weeks since the Florida State tournament."
In the final regional rankings of the 1999 season, Kansas finished second to New Mexico, which also defeated the Jayhawks in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Despite only one win this year, Baylor coach remains optimistic
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan writerswritter
The cover for the 1999 Baylor Bears media guide bellows, "I Believe."
Lately for Bears' fans, however, it hasn't been that easy.
with its only win coming agains North Texas.
The Bears haven't had a winning record since 1996, won only two games last season and are on their fourth coach of the '90s. Even worse, Baylor is 1-7 this season
But despite the gray clouds hovering above the Baylor program, first-year coach Kevin Steele is convinced the Bears are heading in the right direction.
"The thing is, there's a system," Steele said. "When the
system gets fully in place and the execution gets where we want, then the system will produce. It's going to take some time. But I'm proud of the fact we've come out and fought."
BEARS
And that fighting in the early part of the season led to some heartbreaking defeats. In the Bears' season opener, Baylor took Boston College into overtime and eventually lost because of a missed extra point.
One week later, with the Bears leading 24-21 and four seconds to go in the game, Nevada-Las Vegas cornerback Kevin Thomas returned a Baylor fumble 100 yards for the game-winning touchdown. Admittedly, the Bears have lost some tough games this year, but the Baylor players insist their confidence remains high.
"The biggest difference between now and before is the confidence factor," said
Baylor center Joe Jackson.
"(Steele) is behind you 110 per
Of course, the Bears also have something on their opponents this weekend, the Kansas Jayhawks. Baylor has won the last three meetings at the two schools.
between the two schools.
Among these victories was a 31-24 win in Waco, Texas, last season. The Jayhawks were leading 14-7 at halftime, but the Bears scored 17 fourth-quarter points and secured the victory. This season, Kansas is looking to return the favor.
"I remember last year very, very well," said Jayhawk coach Terry Allen. "I don't know about the term 'revenge,' but we need to rectify last year's situation."
For the Bears to win tomorrow, they

must out-duel the team in the Big 12 Conference that they are most similar to. In fact, Baylor and Kansas round out the bottom two spots in five statistical categories, including total offense and total defense.
Steele said that both teams needed a win tomorrow to continue improvement and to have a foundation to build on next season.
"It's more about playing the best you can play individually and collectively," Steele said. "Kansas has gotten better and better each week. More importantly, we're talking about getting better. It's part of the building process."

Jayhawks look to blow Wildcats out of the water
By Shawn Linenberger
sports@kansan.com
The Kansas women's rowing team is hoping to do what other Jayhawk sports teams haven't done this fall — beat Kansas State.
Tomorrow, the Jayhawks travel to Tuttle Creek Reservoir, just north of Manhattan, for the Sunflower Showdown Regatta. Races start at 9 a.m., and the final race, the varsity eight, begins at 10:45 a.m.
Kansas defeated K-State April 18 but never has won in the Sunflower Showdown in the fall since starting the semi-annual event in spring 1997.
The Jayhawks have won the varsity eight race the past two seasons, and coach Rob Catloth said continuing the streak was very important.
"It's a must-win regatta," Catloth said. "If we don't win, we go backwards."
K-State's first varsity boat has finished behind the Jayhawks in two races this season. The Wildcats finished 28th at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, while Kansas finished 24th. At the Head of the Iowa Regatta Sunday, Kansas finished

third, and K-State placed ninth. The traditional Jayhawk-Wildcat rivalry has extra meaning for two senior rowers.
"My mom went to KU, so she's been a big influence," said senior rower Abby Rosdahl. "Most of my classmates go to K-State, so it's definitely a rivalry."
Coxswain Nikia Rosenberger is ready to take on the school that she has grown to dislike.
"When my brother and I were younger, he liked K-State, so I had to root for KU," Rosenberger said.
The Sunflower Showdown is a sprint race, covering 2,000 meters, unlike the traditional fall head race, which is 4,000 meters long. Spectators can watch the races near the KSU boathouse, which is on the east side of Tuttle Creek Dam near Spillway Park. The Tuttle Creek Dam Road runs east and west across the dam.

Garage meters will run 24 hours
By Michael Terry
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students, faculty and staff who park for free after 8 p.m. at the parking garage southeast of Murphy Hall will now have to pay — or find a new place to park.
Donna Hultine, assistant parking director, said that in the next couple of months, the parking garage located at the corner of Naismith Drive and Irving Hill Road would go to 24-hour metered parking.
"No one will be allowed to park in the garage unless they have a valid parking permit or pays the 50 cents an hour fee," Hultine said. "This move is something that is in the best interest of the parking department and is something we have been looking into for a while."
Hultine said one of the reasons for the garage's move to 24-hour meters was that there were occasions when people would take advantage of the free parking.
"People would drop off their car and take a ticket and not come back and get 'their car until the gate went up at 8 p.m.' Hultine said. "This is not fair to the people who buy permits or pay the bounty fee to park in the grove."

Hultine said there were alternate
Indah Sudjono, Jakarta, Indonesia,
senior, said she used to park at the
garage when it was metered during the
day and would not come back to get her
car until the gate was opened to save a
little money.
"I can't believe they are doing this," Judsono said. "Students don't have a lot of money to begin with, and the parking department is just doing this to make even more money."
Hultine said that the parking department already had received all the equipment for the new pay-on-foot station, which will automate the paying process. The parking department now is just waiting for the installation of the equipment, she said.
Hultine said the parking department would advertise the change so that no one would be surprised when it took effect.
"The change to 24 hours restricted will not happen overnight," Hultine said. "Our department still has some logistics to work out before the new system can go into effect."

Residents' grime grows during staff's days off
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Yesterday afternoon at Ellsworth Hall's fourth floor women's bathroom, there were noodles in one of the sinks and a large, black hairball covering part of a shower floor.
At the women's eighth floor bathroom, dirty dishes filled with greasy water lined the counter behind the sinks.
Toilet paper scraps covered the floor of the ninth floor women's bathroom.
Sharing a bathroom with 20 to 30 people is part of the lifestyle at some of the University of Kansas residence halls. However, messes such as these tend to accumulate during the weekends, especially because custodians work a half day on Saturdays and have Sundays off.
ule boosted employees' morale.
Jeff Carmody, assistant director of student housing, said this had been the cleaning schedule since 1987 when he came to the University.
"Before that, they used to work both Saturday and Sunday, and they found there really wasn't that much to clean up." he said.
"It's vital that they be home with their loved ones and attend church on Sundays," he said.
Carmody said the change in sched-

Constance Conboy pleaded guilty to felony theft and misdemeanor theft last month for embezzling money from the office to make personal purchases and for writing University checks to people not working for the office. She was
sentenced to two years probation.
The charges against Conboy were filed last February by the former director of what was then known as the Office of Minority Affairs. The embezlement occurred between May 1997 and September 1998.
Douglas County District Attorney Jerry Little sought damages of $23,000. Fairchild ruled, however, that Conboy should not have to pay about $8,000 of the sum sought by Little. The $8,000 will cover the cost of paychecks written to a student employee who received the checks before being hired, electronics equipment found in a pawn shop and a computer.
Little said the price of the computer was removed from the amount Conboy owes because the computer was never found, and the Apple Computer company could not provide any documentation as to the whereabouts of the computer.
Little said the cost of the electronics was deducted because the equipment would go back to the University unless the pawn shop wanted the items, in which case the ownership would be taken to court.
Little said Conboy had two years to pay her debts. He said she could be brought back to court if she refused to pay them.

Class helps solve job quandary
Not all students know what they want to do
By Amanda Kaschube

For students who are indecisive about whether to become an English teacher or an actor, Richard Nelson is the man to talk to — just take his class.
"The first day, students have no clue what they want to do," he said. "But then as the semester goes on, they get options and answers."
Nelson teaches Career and Life Planning: Decision-Making for College Students, a class designed to help freshmen and sophomores find a career.
And most do find the answers they are looking for. Nelson said 87 percent of his students decided on a career by the end of the semester.
"Many of the students operate from the career myth that every other college student knows what they want to do, and it's just not true," he said. "Some do know, but they are the exception.
"In the class, we concentrate on information about the students' lives and find careers that are best suited for them."
Nelson said he focused on three
theories when teaching the class:
self-knowledge, good career
information and the impact others
have on the career choice.
Nelson said students needed to look at their values and personal interests when choosing a career. For example, someone who doesn't care to obey the law probably won't make a good lawyer.
The more information students have, the better equipped they are to make a major life decision, Nelson said.
An informational interview, which is part of the class, gives students access to information. The interview pairs a student with a professional of the same sex, career field and geographical location as the student.
"Students ask them 26 questions to find out more about their career," Nelson said. "Questions range from 'What do you like and dislike about your job?' to 'What is your typical day like?'"
"I'm still open to it, but it's not on the top of my list," he said. "The class really helps you figure out what you want to do in your life."
Nelson said learning to network was an important part of the
Phil Bradshaw, El Cajon, Calif,
sophomore, said he thought he
wanted to be a lawyer. But after
the interview, he changed his
mind.

class.
"We find people for the students to talk to and they can eliminate a career based on the interview," he said. "Networking is a very important skill."
Other people besides the student can influence career selection. Nelson said one of his students wanted to become an actress while her parents dreamed of her becoming a doctor.
"In order to pick a career that makes everyone happy, you need to resolve your family conflicts," he said.
Bradshaw said the class had helped him learn about careers and had taught him valuable lessons he would carry through life.
"I recommend the class to anyone," he said. "It's helped me a lot."

Boeing continues tests on Flight 800 crash
SEATTLE—Two years after the FBI and federal aviation inspectors ruled out sabotage in the crash of TWA Flight 800, Boeing Co. continues to pursue theories that a missile or a bomb downed the jet.
The Seattle Times reported Sunday that chemical and metallurgical tests were performed on the wreckage of the 747 for nearly 12 hours on Thursday by scientists hired by Boeing. The search was aimed at finding microscopic remnants of a bomb, a missile or shrapnel. The Times said, citing people familiar with the tests.
"Boeing has not ruled out any possibilities," spokeswoman Susan Davis told The Associated Press on Sunday. "Until a cause has been identified, we'll look at all the possibilities."
The FBI stepped out of the TWA Flight 800 investigation in 1997 after finding no evidence to support a bomb or missile theory. The National Transportation Safety Board has concluded that the Boeing 747 crashed when the jet's center fuel tank exploded.
Sen. Charles Grassley, RIowa, who has been scrutinizing the investigation of TWA Flight 800, said Boeing risks ridicule by continuing to pursue a theory ruled out by the NTSB, the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and other experts.
Walkway roof at Church collapses, injures 23
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla.—The concrete roof of a covered walkway collapsed Sunday as churchgoers socialized between services and ate donuts and coffee, injuring 23 people
Dozens of people were on or near the 72-foot-long walkway at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church, eight miles north of Orlando, when the structure came down, witnesses said.
"I heard the crash, looked out the window, saw everybody running, but I didn't know what it was all about," said Sister Rita Galligan, who heard the collapse from her home at the convent next door. "When I went over there, they were just lying on the ground with people all around them."
The walkway links the church to the parish offices, and people must pass under it to get to the parking lot.
Eleven people were taken to hospitals by ambulance, and six of those were considered to be in serious condition, officials said. The rest either
went to hospitals on their own or were treated at the scene. The most serious injures included a woman with a hip fracture and a woman who suffered a spinal injury.
Accused mass murderer acted calm after shooting
HONOLULU—Byran Uyesuig was a model prisoner who ate heartily and slept restfully in the days following his arrest in the shooting deaths of seven Xerox Corp. coworkers, an officer assigned to watch him said.
"He was very calm and acted as if he had just stolen a crayon in a store. It was really surprising," said the police officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity Saturday.
The 40-year-old copier repairman accused in the worst mass murder in Hawaii history remained jailed on $7 million bail after pleading innocent Friday to one count of first-degree murder and seven counts of second-degree murder.
Police believe Uysugi entered the Xerox warehouse in Honolulu's industrial sector Tuesday and opened fire with a 9mm handgun. He surrendered after a five-hour standoff with police about four miles from the warehouse.
Uyesuagi was held until Friday at the Honolulu Police Department cellblock, a 53-cell underground holding facility. He has since been transferred to an Oahu prison.

Moderate aftershocks hit quake-weary Turks
ADAPAZARI, Turkey—Two moderate earthquakes rocked this town in western Turkey on Sunday, causing panic among tens of thousands of people living in tents since the deadly earthquake this summer that destroyed their houses.
The tremors with preliminary magnitudes of 5.0 and 4.3 — struck in one of the areas hit most severely by the Aug. 17 quake, which had a magnitude of 7.4 and left more than 17,000 people dead.
Following Sunday's tremors in Adapazari, seven people were hospitalized in state of shock, the Anatolia news agency said.
Istanbul's Kandilli observatory said the tremors were aftershocks to the August quake. Many aftershocks have struck the area since then.
There were no reports of damage. But authorities warned citizens not to enter houses damaged in the previous quake.

Downtown rally opposes nuclear weapons policy
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
"Not again" was the theme Saturday during a rally aimed at drawing attention to the United States' government refusal to follow through on a nuclear arms agreement.
About 50 demonstrators marched downtown from Buford Watson Park, Seventh and Kentucky streets, to South Park, 12th and Massachusetts streets, to show support for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which the U.S. Senate recently did not ratify.
Armed with a United States flag, a drum and signs that harked back to Cold War rallies, the demonstrators sought to focus attention on an issue that has faded to the background of the American consciousness.
Allan Hanson, an organizer from the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice, said the group wanted to galvanize public support for the treaty.
"We do not want our children to live in the shadow of a nuclear arms race," he said.
Loring Henderson, of the local activist group Oread Friends, said one of the primary goals of the demonstration was to educate the public.
Hanson said the public needed to send a message to its representatives and cited Kansas' Republican Senators Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts. Both voted against the treaty.
"We need to let them know that that is not acceptable behavior for a senator from this state," Hanson said.
Demonstrators gathered signatures for petitions to be sent to the senators and encouraged people to contact them individually.
Although polls show that 82 percent of the American public supports the treaty, not enough people are actively petitioning the government, Henderson said.
Justice, was one of a handful of University of Kansas students who participated in the march. He said that the issue wasn't receiving enough attention.
Kyle Browning, Overland Park junior and member of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and
"The reason I think it didn't get ratified is because nobody knew about it," Browning said.
Hanson said the treaty had failed for a couple of reasons. Partisan politics in the Senate has undercut good policy, he said.
"If there are those among you who are disillusioned by politics, this is one of the reasons why," Hanson said.
Responsibility also rests with the White House administration, which was slow to support the treaty. Hanson said.
Not ratifying the treaty is bad international policy, he said.
He said the United States should set an example to countries such as Russia and China and lead the way toward obliterating nuclear arms.
"It sends a signal to other countries that we will continue arms building." Hanson said.
Grant to upgrade Kansas research

Territorial documents will be posted online as historical resources

Kanson staff writer
Students soon will be able to tally into new territories when researching the history of Kansas, thanks to a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
"We received a grant that is going to be used to selectively scan territorial materials from the Kansas State Historical Society and the Kansas Collection and make them available on the Web," said Sherry Williams, curator of the Kansas Collection at the Spencer Research Library.
The $224,076 IMLS grant was awarded to the University of Kansas and the Kansas State Historical Society, located in Topeka. The money will be used to scan about 1,500 artifacts tracing the territorial history of Kansas.
uted in December. The scanning of the artifacts will begin this spring and is scheduled to be completed in 2001.
The grant money will be distrib
Patricia Michaelis, director of the library and archives division at the Kansas State Historical Society, said the society and the University were the two institutions with the largest amount of primary resources related to territorial Kansas.
She said this information could be used in any history course because it was critical to understanding the tensions that led to the Civil War by making events seem more real when researching actual documents, letters and photographs.
Williams said students ranging from elementary school to college would profit from being able to access information at any time.
"People come to us to use those materials because they are rare to find, but we can't let them check them out," she said. "With the digitization, people are going to come close to having access to the real thing at home."
In addition to making vast amounts of information available on the Internet, the grant will be
used to create teaching materials to correspond with the Internet collection.
"The Kansas Collection includes materials that reflect the history of Kansas and the region." Williams said. "We collect manuscripts, historical photographs, printed material for books and maps, and we're a depository for state documents. And we have a wide range of materials for teaching and researching the history of Kansas and the region."
"I think it can have a much broader audience," she said. "There's nothing like seeing actual documents and being able to understand the information that is contained in them."
Williams said that making this information available on the Internet would have an impact on how people research the history of Kansas and the surrounding region.
When classes are in session, the Kansas Collection, located on the ground floor of the Spencer Research Library, is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

More minor injuries seen at Watkins
By Amber Stuever
Kansan staff writer
Sprain, twist, tear and ache rehabilitation are all in a day's work in the Watkins Memorial Health Center physical therapy department.
This season, however. Watkins' physical therapy is seeing more back, knee and ankle injuries than usual.
Sandy Bowman, Watkins' supervisor of physical therapy, said back pain was a greater problem for students this time of the year.
"A lot of that is stress-related," Bowman said. "At this time of the year, we start seeing more neck, upper back muscle tension and stress-related headaches just because of the time of the year."
The fall intramural season brings students suffering from ankle and knee pains, the most common injuries seen in the physical therapy department.
Bowman said the recent pleasant weather also contributed to students' activity, and therefore injury. She also said that although many students suffer from seasonal aches and pains, many aren't aware that relief is available on campus.
THE MOVIE
Watkins' physical therapy offers a variety of services to help the injured and aching rehabilitate more quickly. These services include soft tissue massages, electrical stimulation, ice and heat, braces, crutches and advice.
"We tend to treat people a little differently here," Bowman said. "Some of that has to do with the demands on your time. A lot of it has to do with that we think we should educate people to take care of their injuries on their own."
Watkins' sports medicine clinic is another service available to help athletes, as well as dancers, musicians and other victims of muscle and joint overuse.
Larry Magee is the coordinator of the sports medicine clinic, which has both a physician and a physical therapist — so students can be diagnosed and rehabilitated at the same office.

"The student, either a KUAC athlete or recreational athlete or intramural athlete, has a place to go where they can get good care and good advice, not only in the treatment of injuries but in preventing injuries and conditioning." Magee said.
Students must see a physician elsewhere and then be referred to the clinic to get help in the physical therapy department. Students must pay for services in the physical therapy and sports medicine clinics.
However, said Traci Cuevas, Topeka senior and an aide in the physical therapy department, students still saved money by using Watkins' services.
"They are reasonable," she said. "Here at Watkins, it's much cheaper than if you were to go someplace private in town."
Walk-ins are welcome at the physical therapy department and the sports medicine clinic. Students also can call 864-9500 to make appointments.

Grime thickens during custodians'break
Continued from page 1A
Many students living in residence halls across campus said the messes yesterday were nothing unusual.
James Henderson, Overland Park sophomore and Ellsworth Hall sixth floor resident, said the toilets became dirty by the end of the weekend and elevator floors became sticky from ignored spills.
He said the messes were worse last year.
"It probably depends on the group of guvs live with," he said.
He said the worst mess he had seen was last year when someone threw up in the communal water fountain.
"It happened Friday or Saturday night and didn't get cleaned up until Monday," he said. "It was just disgusting."
Henderson said there should be a better
system of reporting messes during the weekends so similar incidents would not reoccur.
Joe Edmonds, student housing custodial manager, said resident assistants, desk assistants or complex directors were responsible for cleaning up large messes during the weekend.
Edmonds said sometimes there was not much to clean up since many students went home during the weekends.
Jana Rugan, Ellinwood sophomore and Oliver Hall fourth floor resident, said there was always hair on the shower floors and walls and a buildup of grime throughout the bathroom. She said she wore flip-flo sandals in the shower.
Rugan said people often dumped food in the sink, and the grates covering the drain kept the food sitting in a pile.
"By the time Sunday night rolls around, I don't even want to use the bathroom," she said.
Allison Butler, Overland Park freshman, lives on Corbin Hall's seventh floor.
She said there was almost always a mess in the bathroom by Sunday evenings, especially when residents had guests stay with them during the weekend.
"It can get really nasty," she said.
Whether the messes resulted from use or carelessness, Edmond said Mondays were the worst days for the custodial staff.
"They come to expect the extra work load," he said. "I think they're willing to make that trade-off for the day off."

All students should be welcomed at public universities for diversity
Affirmative action has reared its head once again in public education. This time, however, the program in question would not directly benefit students who are traditionally defined as minorities such as women and people of color.
A scholarship program was created in 1995 in Alabama to encourage Caucasian students to enroll at Alabama State University and Alabama &M. the state's two historically African-American colleges.
But that's not the end of the story. An African-American student sought a scholarship in 1996 to attend Alabama State and was turned down. He is suing the college on the grounds that the "Whites only" scholarships created for these schools violated his 14th Amendment right to equal protection
Scholarships for Caucasians are not necessarily wrong
under the law.
The state of Alabama should allow the scholarship program to stand. It represents a true breakthrough in a state where horrible atrocities were committed in the name of keeping people separate — and completely unequal.
In our own state capital of Topeka, the lawsuit Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education changed the face of public school education forever.
Unless a school is privately financed, it should be open to anyone who wants to attend and so should its scholarship programs.
Giving scholarships to Caucasian students to attend historically African-American colleges is a good idea and shouldn't be abandoned. Diversity in all forms contributes to understanding and lowers the artificial barriers that American society has erected between African-Americans and Caucasians.
Chief Justice Earl Warren, in his opinion for the Brown case, said it best: "Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other 'tangible' factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does...We conclude that in the field of public education, the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."

Housing law treats students unfairly
The city of Lawrence zoning ordinance, which prohibits more than four unrelated people from sharing a house in a single family-zoned area, is unfeasible and unnecessary.
This law, although not wellknown, was called to attention recently when two houses were cited by the City of Lawrence and the occupants were told that they were in violation of the law.
Lawrence is a college town with a large student population. To demand that a person can live with no more than three other unrelated people directly affects the student population and is an unfair request.
Sharing a house is an inexpensive living arrangement for students
Noise and traffic regulations already deal with problems this ordinance intends to solve
that becomes cheaper when more students live in the house. Because this is a cheaper solution to housing, numerous students in Lawrence take advantage of it. To ask students to give up this living arrangement for a more expensive one is not a just request.
house may have a car, this is no different than a family living together. Many families have several cars to a house, and to single out students for this doesn't make sense. In the same sense, just because the students aren't related to one another doesn't mean that they would make more noise than a family would make.
The proponents of the zoning law claim that having that many students in a house creates problems including cluttered parking and excess noise. This is an unfair claim. While each student in a
Even if these illogical complaints did prove to be true, the zoning law is not needed to solve them. The city has other laws dealing with noise complaints and illegal parking that can be turned to if the situations did arise.
This law needs to be ended before anymore students are unfairly evicted from their residences.

Sun Fire Ceramics gives customers chance at art
We have this old teapot at home. It's really kind of ugly if you look at it long enough. The design isn't all that bad, it's just that it was glazed with this hideous yellow-greenish, acidic, puke-like color. When my parents were first married,

they went to a small shop in the East Bay, picked out this greenware teapot and glazed it that gut-wrenching chartreuse. More than 25 years later, my mom still uses it despite the crack bisecting its lid.
Mrs.
I guess I was thinking of that old, gruesome teapot the first time I stepped into Sun Fire Ceramics. That first time, I was just giving the place a onceover; now I believe it is the last hidden treasure of downtown Lawrence.
My roommate and I, along with her boyfriend, Matt, searched through the shelves looking for the piece that just screamed out, "Decorate me!" (There, Matt, you've been mentioned.) After seeing our first attempts two weeks before, Matt had dragged us down to Sun Fire so he could try his hand at glazing. My creative energies hadn't been flowing too well since mid-terms, but I managed to catch a few fleeting molecules and sat down with my cup.
Turning the massive coffeehouse cup in my hands, I thought of all the things I could do with it. Should I glaze it a solid color like the cups from Target or Pier 1? Maybe I'll put a sun on the inside and a moon on the outside to match Jennifer's bowl? (The great thing about doing it yourself, though, is that you can make it be whatever you want.) I chose to motile a few glazes together and see how they come out. I may have had a ceramics class in high school, but I'm no artist, so I stick with the abstracts-colors and textures only.
I finish early and watch Jennifer meticulously dot her butterfly with color, while Matt's glaze-logged brush applies five coats to his box with one stroke. Somehow the shop seems much bigger from the inside, even a little cartoony – an orange door leads to the bathroom, the Garden Room is painted in a seafoam green and the ceiling of the main room is painted sky blue, complete with clouds. I wonder what my cup will look like when I pick it up in four days. It'll sure hold a lot of cappuccino.
In the midst of corporate America's takeover of south Lawrence and its subsequent encroachment on downtown, it's nice to know that there is still a place nearby like Sun Fire Ceramics. It's a place where you can make a family heirloom, a cherished coffee cup or maybe just some happy moments. It's a place that's small enough to give personal attention, but big enough for anyone's imagination.
basically makes sure that everyone's enjoying themselves. As we work on our pieces, a child's birthday party is going on in the Garden Party Room, and Sheri attempts to help a woman choose between two glazes on a plate she is decorating for Christmas. At another table, a mother and daughter work on an enormous fall wreath, complete with acorns. I ask the owner a style question and she gives me her opinion but reminds me that the final decision is solely my own. So I decide to risk it and drip glaze around the rim of my cup.
Periodically, the shop owner Sheri asks if we have any questions, offers advice, and
Sun Fire Ceramics is located at 1002 New Hampshire St., on the corner of Tenth Street, one block east of Massachusetts and next door to that place where you're supposed to pay your parking tickets. It is open Wednesdays through Sundays, and completed pieces are available within a few days. Most pieces range from $3 to $8 and the glazing costs $6 per hour, so you're bound to create something you'll really like for under $15.
Freedom to be sacrificed on altar of zero tolerance

on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."
"Where do you want us to prepare for it?" they asked.
He replied, "As you enter the campus, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the residence hall that he enters, and say to the front desk attendant, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I ma"
asks where is the guest eat the Passover with my disciples? He will show you a large dorm room, all furnished. Make preparations there."
They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it fulfills my purpose."

finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God."
After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
They began to question among themselves who of them it might be who would do this.
And he took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed, but woe to that man who betrays him."
But then a man arose. It was Judas, a resident assistant from the fifth floor of McCollum Hall. "There is zero tolerance of alcohol on
campus," he said.
Jesus replied, "It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors' and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."
The disciples said, "See, Lord, here Judas has brought two infractions against you for drinking on student housing premises."
"That is enough." Jesus replied.
On a side note: Students always will drink in residence halls. Students always will drink in scholarship halls. Even married couples living in Stouffer Place always will drink in their student apartments. Students drink in residence halls all across the country. Students drink in residence halls in Dijibout, where most people are much poorer than people in the United States. Students drink in residence halls in China, where there is an oppressive government and people enjoy fewer individual rights. Students drink in residence halls in Scotland, even while they listen to Belle and Sebastian and pretend they're naive. Students drink in residence halls in Iceland, and don't you wish you could join them.
My parents drank in residence halls. My grandparents drank in residence halls. Our Founding Fathers drank in residence halls. Samuel Adams drank his own beer in residence halls.
No matter what the administration of the University of Kansas does to discourage students from drinking in student housing, kids will find a way to get alcohol into their rooms and down it. This issue is far too trivial to spend an entire column ranting about, and I apologize that I can't comment upon it without being facetious. The policies proposed by housing authorities — banning not only alcohol but also empty containers and forbidding students to enter student housing while drunk are nothing more than ridiculous.

Feedback
Not that great
Another visit to KU by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is not necessarily reason to celebrate. First, Thomas' record on the Court has shown him to be among the most conservative of justices, demonstrating quite conclusively that his was a right-wing political appointment of the Bush administration. Second, it's ironic that the UDK article announcing his likely visit made no mention of Anita Hill and the infamous Senate hearings to confirm Thomas, easily among the saddest displays of
reactionary, patriarchal power in recent memory. Third, Thomas' previous visit to KU leaves little hope for genuinely open exchange-of-ideas with students this time around. The question and answer period following his Lied Center lecture disallowed questions from the audience. Instead, all questions were pre-picked and, obviously, screened and censored by KU Law School authorities, no doubt to avoid embarrassing wealthy KU alums in attendance, who gave Thomas a standing ovation for his efforts that evening.
If we really want to make
Thomas' coming visit worthwhile to all KU students-as opposed to merely using him as a PR tool for the Law School-let him partake in a public forum where any of us can ask him challenging, difficult questions. One would presume that a Supreme Court Justice could not only handle himself well in an open forum, but encourage and even welcome the free exchange of ideas that he knows constitutes the basis of what we do here at KU.

Kansans believe in creation, poll says
But the majority disagrees with Board of Education
The Associated Press
WICHITA — A majority of Kansans do not doubt God's hand in the creation of humans, but a majority also believe the state's schoolchildren should study evolution and be tested on it, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by The Wichita Engle and the Kansas City Star, surveyed 604 people Oct. 22:26. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus a percentage points.
The survey found that far more people disagree than agree with the Kansas Board of Education's decision in August to eliminate state testing on the theory of evolution.
Fifty-two percent said they disagree with the board's decision to omit questions on the broad theory of evolution on state assessment tests.
Thirty-two percent said they strongly or somewhat agreed with the board's decision. The rest were neutral or unsure.
The poll forecasts a contentious board election next fall when five seats are up for grabs — including those of four of the six members who voted to de-emphasize evolution.
More than half of poll respondents — 52 percent — said they would be more likely to vote in the next board election because
of the evolution decision. And of those who disagreed with the board, 64 percent said they were more likely to vote.
The evolution debate
"At least people know there's a school board around now," said
More than 80 percent of those polled believe dinosaurs existed millions of years ago, and 65 percent believe sea creatures developed into land animals. But many do not think that humans evolved.
Mary Douglass Brown, of Wichita, voted for the change and is up for re-election.
Forty-five percent of poll respondents believe that God created human beings pretty much as they are today and that creation occurred within the past 10,000 years.
"I believe that the Lord God created everything, just like the Bible says," said Gary Corwin, 48, an auctioneer from Buhler who sides with the board's move. "I don't think we came from apes."
It's that belief that troubles most people who oppose the evolution theory, said Eugenie Scott of the Berkeley, Calif., National Center for Science Education, which advocates teaching evolution.
"It goes to the meaning and purpose of life," Scott said. "I think many Americans believe that somehow they are less special to God if they evolved from nonhuman animals."
"I believe there is a God that's in control of creation. I've never hung up on how he did it." Calcote said.
Victor Calcote, pastor of Epworth United Methodist Church in Wichita, sees no conflict between religion and evolution.
Despite his belief in human evolution, Calcote supports the board's action, saying local districts should have control of their schools.
Denver homeless sleep in fear of violence
The Associated Press
DENVER- In a city where Jack Kerouac made the hobo life famous decades ago, a series of murders and beatings has transient sleeping with their gloves off so they can grab their knives to defend themselves.
Others have packed the Denver Rescue Mission — not to escape the cold, but to sleep without fear.
In recent weeks, five homeless men have been killed and at least two others severely beaten. Police have blamed some of the violence on mall rats — groups of young men and women who gather near the trendy downtown shopping strip known as the 16th Street Mall. Many, like the victims, are homeless.
Last week, police arrested seven young men, all between the ages of 16 and 21, and charged them with assault and robbery in attacks on a street musician and a homeless man. Two also are suspected in one of the murders.
They may get a sort of high or thrill by beating up people, and homeless are an easy target, police Lt. Judith Will said.
Authorities began cracking down on crime in the area when the first body was found in September. They drive their police motorcycles through the teens' hangouts, question them and arrest them for minor offenses, like spitting on the sidewalk.
An anonymous donor has contributed a $100,000 reward for arrests in the five beating deaths.
Some of the bodies were found in the still-seedy neighborhood where historians conduct a Jack Kerouac tour, an area made famous by the benik artist 'On the Road'. It's a few blocks from the mall — a 13-block strip of high-class stores that
has drawn an increasing number of visitors since last year's opening of the Denver Pavilion's shopping center.
Most visitors seem oblivious to the mall rats' presence. But the people who work and live there are very aware, said Yvonne Wolf, whose horse-drawn cab route goes past one of their hangouts, a below-the-street-level concrete open space called Skylark Park.
The Rescue Mission estimates 50 percent of the city's homeless have mental health problems, and the mail rats likely are no different — plus, they are aggressive.
"They're mouthy." Wolf said.
"I stand with my back to the bus sign so that if they attack me at least I might get a look at their faces before I go down," he said.
"Don't they know we are real people?" asked Bill Dennis, a homeless 59-year-old Navy veteran.
Paper says FBI files link Cuban agents, freed Puerto Ricans
HARTFORD, Comm. — The Puerto Rican nationalists offered clemency by President Clinton were members of two groups with ties to Cuban intelligence agents, The Hartford Courant reported.
The Associated Press
In a story in yesterday's editions, the newspaper said FBI files on a robbery of a Wells Fargo armored car in West Hartford document Cuba's support for the Puerto Rican independence movement. The contents of the files have not been disclosed until now, The Courant said.
The FBI monitored conversations and meetings between Cuban intelligence agents and members of the group Los Macheteros, Spanish for The Cane Cutters.
"Numerous court-authored interceptions of conversations ... have determined that the Cubans support and direct the Macheteros at a firsthand level," the FBI said in a confidential memo.
In September, President Clinton freed 11 jailed nationalists, members of Los Macheteros or the FALN, the Spanish acronym for the Armed Forces of National Liberation.
The FALN has claimed responsibility for numerous bombings in the United States.
None of the prisoners offered clemency were directly involved in violent acts, Clinton said, and he acted on human rights activists' arguments that the prisoners had paid their debt by serving an average of 19 years in jail.
White House spokesman Jim Kennedy, asked whether Cuban support for the nationalists was considered during deliberations on the clemency offer, said decisions about clemency are confidential.
Filiberto Ojeda Rios, a wanted Macheteros leader who has been in hiding in Puerto Rico for years, angrily denied any ties to Cuba during an interview with Puerto Rican radio journalist Luis Penchei.
Luis M. Fernandez, representative of the Cuban Interests Section, which serves as Havana's de facto embassy in Washington, also dismissed the link. The office was closed Saturday.
"I have no information on that," Fernandez said. "In my opinion, it is more science fiction than anything else."

Wisconsin case to go before Supreme Court
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis.—A lawsuit by a student who objected to the use of his student fees to support liberal campus groups at the University of Wisconsin could change the way fees are spent on college campuses nationwide.
The U.S. Supreme Court, which will hear the case tomorrow, will decide whether public universities can use mandatory student activity fees to subsidize campus groups that pursue political goals.
"The decision will affect literally every college and university in this country," said Brady Williamson, who teaches constitutional law at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The suit was filed in 1966 by then-law student Scott Southworth. A federal trial judge and the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in
If the high court upholds those rulings, it could bar schools from using student fees to pay for politically active groups, or it could issue a less sweeping remedy allowing students to opt out of giving money to groups they find objectionable.
his favor that the subsidies unlawfully forced some students to subsidize views they found objectionable.
University spokeswoman Sharryn Wisniewski said the school appealed the rulings because the fees helped pay for a system that gave students a forum to discuss and deal with issues that might not exist without support-groups.
The fee in question is $15 per semester for each of the 38,000 students. The money is distributed through student committees elected by the student body.
Southworth and several other law students with conservative political views had challenged the funneling of the fee proceeds to 18 organizations on the Madison campus. Among groups they objected to
were the International Socialist Organization; Campus Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Center; and an AIDS support network.
"We didn't believe that any student should have to pay fees that went to groups that they objected to on a personal, ideological or religious basis," said Southworth, now a lawyer and an aide to a state senator.
"It's inconsequential whether they're liberal or conservative," he said. "We'd support liberal students who object to their fees going to conservative groups."
Conservative students have long been frustrated with the fees, said Daniel Kelly, an attorney for Southworth and the other plaintiffs.
"The funding has generally gone to liberal organizations, and they have been frustrated with their money going to ideas with which they disagree." Kelly said.
The Supreme Court ruled in 1995 that public universities and colleges cannot create a "public forum" for students and then refuse to subsidize some student groups because of their viewpoint. That decision said the University of Virginia wrongly refused to subsidize a student-run Christian magazine.
But not all conservatives agree. Larisa Vanov of the Academic Alliance for Freedom, a conservative group that encourages debate on campuses, said there was no problem with using student fees if they benefited groups open to all students.
"Student fees are a pool, and if students want to start a Star Trek society or a conservative one or a liberal one, they should be able to," said Vanov, whose group receives student fees on campuses where it works.
Based on that ruling, the 7th Circuit said in the Southworth case that it was imperative that students not be forced to pay for political and ideological organizations if the university could not discriminate in the disbursement of funds.
Bush frustrated after foreign policy pop quiz
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Should a presidential candidate be required to know the heads of Pakistan, India, Taiwan and Chechnya? Maybe so, maybe not. This much should be certain: The way George W. Bush handled his pop quiz on foreign policy suggested he's still not ready for the tests ahead.
anger or frustration.
"Wait. Wait. Is this 50 questions?" a flustered Bush asked the Boston television reporter who posed four surprise questions. The Republican front-runner got one name right, admitted he didn't know the other three and fumbled on the crisis in Pakistan.
And he looked bad doing it. He glared off camera after he dressed down the interviewer with a convoluted rebuke — his jaw clenched in

Bush's sky-ing polls or leave a long-lasting impact. But it does suggest that the two-term Texas governor has an Achilles' heel: unexpected questions that lead to embarassing answers, fueling charges that he is not ready to be president.
Bush: Could not answer tough questions
"If Bush's rap is going to be that he is weak on foreign policy — not that foreign policy matters to voters — this just adds to the buzz."
Bush should have been prepared for the sneak attack.
The interviewer, Andy Hiller of WHDH-TV, is known for asking aggressive questions and relishes his role of provocateur. Bush was not warned because his aides in Texas didn't know about Hiller's reputation and were not alerted by their Boston team.
Knowing somebody would try to trip him up. Bush was prepared with a reply to any question he couldn't answer. Aides it went something like this: "Americans don't expect their presidential candidates to be trivia experts; they want a leader who has a clear vision for America's future."
said Republican consultant Tony Fabrizio, who worked for Elizabeth Dole's failed presidential campaign.
However, the Austin camp had been preparing for this kind of confrontation since the spring, when a few Bush foreign policy gaffes became fodder for Jay Leno and David Letterman. Bush called Greeks "Grecians," Kosovars "Kosovoians" and mistook Slovakia for Slovenia.
When it came time to deliver, Bush failed.
He let Hiller get under his skin and asked the interviewer to name the foreign minister of Mexico. When Hiller drew a blank, Bush launched into a pale imitation of the well-rehearsed reply.
"What I'm suggesting to you is, if you can't name the foreign minister of Mexico, therefore, you know, you're not capable of what you do. But the truth of the matter is you are, whether you can or not," Bush said.
Police in Israel blame terrorists for explosion
There were no fatalities. Two of the victims suffered moderate injuries and the rest were slightly injured, said Danny Hadad, deputy police commander of Netanya and the surrounding area. Ambulances took 21 victims to hospitals, while others arrived on foot or by car.

Three Palestinian suspects were detained, but two were released after questioning, police spokeswoman Sivan Kedmi said. Army radio said dozens of Palestinians were rounded up because they lacked the necessary permits to be in Netanya.
The Associated Press
NETANYA, Israel—On the eve of final status talks with the Palestinians, police yesterday blamed an explosion in the busy coastal town of Netanya on Islamic militants opposed to the process.
A fourth pipe bomb failed to explode. It was taken to the beach by the police bomb squad and detonated safely.
Three pipe bombs injured 33 Israelis and raised questions about whether Palestinians were able to meet the major Israeli expectation of peace — an end to terror.
Prime Minister Ehud Barak said the government will not capitulate to terrorism.
"There are elements who will try to torpedo the peace process," he said. "They will not succeed. The government and the security services will smash the terrorism."
The pipe bombs, placed close together, exploded outside a large bank in a busy shopping area. The twisted remains of a bicycle and a garbage can blown open by the bomb lay on a charred sidewalk at an intersection.
The area, busy with bomb disposal experts in flak jackets and helmets, was closed off. Forensic experts in white overalls and gloves searched the area for evidence.
Israeli and Palestinian representatives are scheduled to meet Monday in the West Bank town of Ramallah to begin negotiations on a permanent peace agreement.

Despite age range, students on same cultural page
B Buddy Holly, John Lennon, Buster Keaton and John Belushi have one thing in common They all died before most freshmen were born.
By Joel Francis
Beloit College in Wisconsin released in July a list designed to show how first-year students' frames of reference differ from those of students only a few years older. The Class of 2003 Mindset List contains 43 items querying students about sports figures, entertainment icons, technology revolutions and political notables.
The idea behind the list is that an 18-yearold freshman who doesn't recognize Belushi, an actor, or Gary Hart, a politician, would have a different frame of reference than older students who are familiar with the names.
KU students,however,confounded the test. Students who were asked 13 questions from the 2003 Mindset List seemed to have more in common than the list would indicate.
Students of all ages were more likely to remember John Belushi and John Lennon than they were Walter Cronkite and Gary Hart.
"John Lennon and John Belushi were entertainers, and their memory was preserved on film," said David Smith, associate professor of sociology said. "While Hart was influential for a while, his press conferences aren't rebroadcast. Cronkite also has fairly low visibility. It's hard to miss the Beatles or SNL."
Smith said celebrity status was not usually given to journalists or politicians, which made them fade from memory faster.
Because no formal study has been conducted, David Smith, associate professor of sociology, and Barry Shank, associate professor of American studies, said they could not speak with any authority but would comment on the findings.
"I bet freshmen today know as much as freshmen four years ago," Smith said. "It's just that the specifics have changed. Eighteen- and nineteen-year-olds know a lot, they just know different things."
While older students generally recognized the Cold War as a period of chronic tension between the United States and the former U.S.S.R., freshmen had a decidedly post-Cold War perspective.
Two freshmen answered simply, "It wasn't a war."
For instance, freshmen polled tended to have different takes on the Cold War.
"There are obvious generational shifts, but there are also subtler shifts," Smith said. "Every four to six years, there is a shift in what people remember and what is preserved."
The Cold War was one shift, but Smith said it wasn't as important how people learned about something as long as they learned about it.
"It is important to understand the Cold War, but direct personal memory isn't the only way to learn — if it was, history would be a vain exercise." Smith said.
Shank said learning about the past was part of a good education.
"The world changes all the time," he said. "Americans have never had a good sense of history. It is part of the humanities department to help students understand what happened before them."
Again, Smith said that this did not make a difference.
"Every generation has different resources for learning about the world," Smith said. "The fact that information
"Every four to six years, there is a shift in what people remember and what is preserved,"
associate professor of sociology
is more readily available is good. If people are interested about the world, they will find what they are looking for in whatever format."
Shank said differences couldn't be captured by a list of what some learned as history and others experienced firsthand.
"People have been saying for years that kids nowadays don't know anything," Shank said. "By the time there was a third generation of Puritans here in America, the old guys were saying the kids were going to hell. The freshmen are young, but they'll learn; that's why they're going to school."

"My family had a computer before I was born. I think it was a Macintosh. I first used the Internet in eighth grade." — Angela Bennett, Kansas City, Mo., freshman
What was the Cold War and what do you remember about it?

but I don't remember what class I was in." — Sarah Hayden, Kansas City, Kan., senior
What does Desert Storm mean to you?
"Wearing plastic bracelets in support of our troops." — Crystal Hudson, Topeka freshman
Who is Walter Cronkite?

"I know he had something to do with journalism, but I can't remember what made him famous." — Jason Elliott, Salina freshman

Guided By Voices elevates garage rock to the main stage
By Emily Hughey Kansan staff writer
The music stopped at 1:01 a.m. And again at 1:14 a.m. Then at 1:25 p.m. Finally, at 1:37 a.m., the house lights came up, the raised devil-horned hands stopped pumping in the crowd, the hardwood floor transformed from fan trampoline to trash-ridden walkway and the last drips of beer mixed with sweat dribbled from Bob Pollard's mouth.
After nearly two hours of playing and three encores, Guided By Voices stumbled off the stage. With Budweiser bottles and a half-drained fifth of Jack Daniels in tow, Pollard, the rock star, and his band headed up the stairs of The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., early yesterday morning. The spent capacity crowd dispersed. Some migrated to the front doors and others backstage to meet the band.
Q: GBV has been through a lot for a long time and has evolved from a young garage rock band to producing popular records. In what stage would you say GBV is in now?
Three weeks earlier, from his apartment on the second floor of a house in Cleveland, Ohio, Doug Gillard, lead guitarist for GBV, spoke about the band amid a chorus of shrieking cockatiels.
A: We're a garage rock band that likes to make bigger sounding records with each record. But we're still just kind of a little rock band. Bob [Pollard] has tried to make bigger sounding records, and I think it's been a good thing, but it's not like we're this huge band. It has evolved. The next record will probably sound totally different. It'll probably sound a little drier, a little less slick.
Q: Our of our local radio stations, 105.9 The Lazer, has changed its format from modern rock to Top 40. Have you seen a trend in this elsewhere, and what do you think it will do to
local music in Lawrence?
A: I don't know about many other towns but in Cleveland, we have no alternative station, so the GBV records, and "Teenage F.B.I." wouldn't be played there. It seems like people in the community heard this buzz that boy bands were cool or something. But scenes are always there whether or not there's radio play for local bands. Within the bands and the town, there's always a network, and all the people who want to go to the show will go to all of them. Just because there's no radio station in Lawrence, that shouldn't hinder local music too much. They just need to keep mailing their tapes to all the labels.
A: I think GBV sort of pioneered the lo-fi sound back in '93-'94. At the time, it wasn't a widely-used format to put out your record on 4-track because they're used for putting demos on. But they have a bigger sound and it worked. It kind of caught on and spawned an indie rock sound.
Q: A lot of local bands cite you as an inspiration. Why do you think that is?
A: I don't think it's selling out. As soon as you put music out for sale, I think you've sold out. But I think that's what it's about. I always like music just for music's sake. I like good tunes, good songs. I may think something sounds too slick, but I'd never accuse someone of selling out. I think some bands go to the opposite extreme and say, 'no, we're not going to sell out,' and they miss out on an opportunity to get signed. We know that we're a rock band.
Q: You've recently made the transition from Matador Records to the larger TVT Records. Do you think anyone views it as selling out?
DARK
Q: What do you want to do with your new album,
Do the Collapse?
A: "Teenage FBI" is the lead-off track. The idea is to reach a wider audience and get people into the band that weren't into the band before. It's a good melody, a good song. Bob has this great sense of melody and a great song-writing ability. We're going to see what happens.

Kansas grins, Baylor bears it
Jayhawks rush to 45-10 victory

Kansan sportswriter
The Bears weren't bad news, they were just plain bad.
But Baylor, 1-8 overall, 0-6 in the Big 12,
wasn't supposed to be much of a roadblock.
It was more like a deer caught in the head-
lights of the Kansas offense.
The Jayhawks ran over the Bears, backed up and ran over them again, cruising to a 45-10 victory. The victory moved Kansas to 4-6 overall, and 2-4 in the Big 12.
It was a rushing performance worthy of Nebraska standards. The 373 yards rushing were the most by Kansas since 1994. Allen, a
proponent of the pass, gave credit to the offensive line and to his coaches for recognizing the chance to run.
"We had some guys that wanted to make a statement," Allen said. "Chris Enneking, Dameon Hunt, they really led us to the victory today."
The 'Hawks didn't even throw a pass during their first drive — but they didn't need to. Enneking and company flattened Bear defenders and cleared the way for running backs David Winush and Moran Norrls, not only on the first drive, but for the rest of the day.
Kansas averaged almost 7 yards per rush and was remarkably consistent because only one run was more than 20 yards. Six and seven-yard gains were the norm because the offensive line became a dominating group for the first time this year.
"It's a great feeling," left tackle John Oddeton told. "We just played hard and
things went well. We communicated well, which made it a great game for us."
The running game took the heat off of quarterback Dylen Smith, who wasn't needed to perform offensive magic for the first time all season. Instead, he watched as Winchub, Norris and Mitch Bowles piled up the yards, which didn't bother him at all.
"I don't care if I throw for one yard if we're winning." Smith said.
The three backs ran for 272 yards and Winbush had his first 100-yard rushing game since a 71-14 victory against Cal State Northridge on Sept. 14.
The rushing success overshadowed another decent defensive effort, as the Hawks gave up 251 total yards, but only 121 after the first quarter.
"It's kind of fun to be able to win a football game when we didn't play well defensively," Allen said.
down. After playing the top-20 teams and rivalMichaelle in the last four weeks, it was tough to keep the same mindset for a team like Bavlor.
"We did come out a little flat as a defense," linebacker Tim Bowers said. "It's kind of hard to maintain the same intensity for such a long time, but now we're playing with the confidence we're expecting of ourselves."
Chalk some of that up to an emotional let-
That means Kansas is another step closer to respectability. If the 'Hawks win their next two games, they will finish the season with a 500 record, something the 'Hawks expect.
The 'Hawks will finish out the season with a game at Oklahoma State and will play Iowa State at home. The two teams have a combined record of 8-10, but are 2-9 in the Big 10.
"We refuse to lose those last two," defensive end Dion Rayford said. "I'm going to go out playing good."

In what Kansas coach Roy Williams called a glorified practice, the Jayhawks got a workout Saturday night when they defeated the California East All-Stars, 124-101, in an exhibition game at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas unveiled a full-court pressing defense, which helped the Jayhawks jump out to a 8-0 lead. But while the Jayhawks' defense worked at times, it was countered with deep fast-break passes by the All-Stars that led to easy layups or dunks. At half-time the Jayhawks only led 53-47.
"It was a helper-skeler type game and that's really what I wanted it to be," Williams said. "We wanted to make it more of a rat race, and I think we did that, but you don't like to look down and see 24 turnovers or that the other team shot 51 percent against you."
Both teams sprinted up and down the floor, leading to many monster dunks and even more turnovers.

At the start of the second half, Kansas stretched the lead with an 18-5 run. But again the All-Stars came back and cut the lead to 76-70 with 12 minutes remaining.
Then, the Kansas press tightened and allowed the offense to put the game out of reach. In a flurry of backcourt steals, Kansas took a 94-74 lead with 9:38 left to play.
"When you press people, you'll give them
some openings, but you hope to get a couple of flurries of your own," Williams said. "We got a couple tonight and that was basically the difference in the game."

Kansas, 16-9 overall and 7-7 in the Big 12 Conference, entered Saturday night mired in a two-match losing streak after losses to No. 9 Texas and No. 13 Nebraska. The Jayhawks overcame that streak against Texas Tech.
VOLLEYBALL
Kansas jumped out to a 9-1 lead in the first game. After the Red Raiders mounted a comeback and pulled within one point late in the game, the Javahaws finished them off, 15-13.
"In the first game, we came out strong," Kansas sophomore setter Molly LaMere said. "But toward the end they kind of came back and caught us off guard."
Kansas won the next two games with little resistance from Texas Tech. 15-10 and 15-7.
In the first meeting between the two schools on Oct. 2 in Lawrence, the Jayhawks won a 3-1 match thanks to a career-high 23 kills by senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht.
Albrecht came up big for the Jayhawks again on Saturday, recording a match-high 12 kills and a .346 hitting percentage.
Junior outside hitter Nancy Bell added 10 kills for Kansas, and senior
middle blocker Amanda Reves had eight. Freshman defensive specialist Jennifer Kraft led the team with 11 digs, and LaMere paced the squad with 33 assists.

Both Kansas and Texas Tech had 17 attack errors in the match. But the Jayhawks out hit the Red Raiders 211 to
Texas Tech was led by Colleen Smith and Ann Romjue, who combined for 18 kills. The loss dropped the Red Raiders to 15-12 overall and 4-10 in the Big 12 Conference.
Next up for Kansas is a home match at 7 p.m. Wednesday against the Oklahoma Sooners at the Horesei Family Athletics Center. The last time the Jayhawks faced the Sooners, they overcame a one game deficit and won a 3-1 contest on Oct. 6 in Norman, Okla.
"We played really well this past weekend," LaMere said. "If we play like we have been playing, we should have no problem."

Isn't it?
Williams said he wanted to make it a rat race, a more helper-skelter game. Mission accomplished
No one was sure what would happen Saturday. Would Williams actually take a dynasty he's built on discipline and ball control, throw caution to the wind and show a wide-open, fast-breaking, pressing game plan. One hundred twenty-four Jayhawk points later, the question was answered.
But helter-skelter?
Yes, helter-skelter. There were full-court passes, breakaway dunks, alleyoops, no-look draws and turnovers. Were there ever turnovers — $2 by the end of the full-court mayhem. He was chaos. And Williams remained calm — even smiled through it all.
Kentucky is supposed to use a full-court press. UCLA is supposed to outscore opponents with a high-octane offense. Not Kansas.
The California All-Stars 101 points represented the fist time Kapsas has relinquished triple digits or any team, exhibition or not, since a 100.78 defeat February 27, 1990, at Oklahoma — Williams' second year as Kansas' coach.
"When you are pressing people, you will give them some openings," Williams said calmly. "What you are hoping to have is a couple flurries."
Those flurries were sparked in a large part by the impressive play of freshmen Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and Drew Gooden.
But aren't other coaches the ones who toss highly-touted freshman into the starting lineup, who then soar their way into the limelight and head to the NBA so fast we can hardly recall what school they attended.
Kansas freshman observe. They learn.
They earn playing time. But tradition
doesn't seem to worry Williams. Not this
year.
Even the Jayhawks' warm-up routine was different.
Nick Bradford led the team in a series of Hoosiers-like drills, complete with shuffles and synchronized dives. And yes, they too were Williams' idea.
"We practiced this morning. It's the first time they've done it," he said. "I like to get the crowd more into it. I like the fieldhouse to be more fun. A lot of things are tradition here. Tradition is OK, but it doesn't mean you have to sit back and say you can't do this or that."
"It goes back to the long shorts and black shoes. You've got to understand today's times. It's fun to play basketball. Basketball should be fun to play in the fieldhouse."
Williams' next idea: he'd like to have music through the sound system.
Like a wise man once said, "If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind."
Hold on Jayhawk fans, it's going to be a wild ride.

This could be a good day to go over your finances and to do a little planning. An argument with a loved one could force the issue. Don't get into a tiff. Figure out how to make it happen, instead.
A lot of stubborn people are out there, and you're outnumbered. They're even more set on having their way than you are. Listen to what they say. Even if you never agree, you'll learn what they think, and that's useful.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
You're smart, and you've been learning quickly. There's a test, and it's a tough one. You may not do as well as you want to, but that's OK. You might not hit perfection, and you could come closer than before. Take what you get and build on it.
Libra: Today is a 6.
You look pretty good. You have more confidence than usual, partially because somebody you care about believes in you. Tackle a tough subject one more time and don't worry if you don't master it. You're chipping away at it, and that counts.
Scorpio: Today is a 5.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
You might need to change or rearrange something at home. Study the problem and try out a couple of ideas. Don't let this get in the way of your work, however. If you forget to do something important, there will be trouble.
Capricorn: Today is a 5.
You're smart, and you're learning quickly. You're still under pressure, but you are doing better than you think. Life will get easier soon, so don't be overtaken or overwhelmed. Keep at it!
You are kind of stuck in the middle. You'd like to go play with your friends, but there's too much work to do. You're interested in a community project, too, but that may be just too much. Relax, and you'll come up with another idea.
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You're decisive and creative now. You're also inhibited and frustrated. The harder you push, the more solid the resistance becomes. To turn things around, stop pushing there. Settle down and refine your idea instead. Shift your focus to a different target.
You want to step out and try something new. Are your fears in the way? Instead of conquering their practice getting used to them instead. Make friend with them. This may sound silly, but it could work.

Woods plays well again wins tournament in Spain
GOLF
SOTOGRANDE, Spain — Tiger Woods had the right answer for every occasion yesterday in the American Express Championship.
From the highest point at Valderrama Golf Club, he heard the roars for Miguel Angel Jimenez resound in the valley and responded with a chip-in for eagle on hole 11.
Even after his lowest moment, a triple bogy on the 17th that knocked him out of the lead, Woods never lost his cool and kept his mind on the possibility of a playoff.
The result was another victory for Woods, and a question that no one
can answer right now. When will he ever lose?

Collison, Drew Gooden and Kirk Hinrich.
All three scored in double figures. Gooden scored 12 points and led the team with 12 rebounds, but his most impressive stat was his team-high eight assists, leaving him two assists short of a triple-double.
"I liked Nick Collision's line, with 16 points, and Drew Gooden with 12 points and 12 rebounds," Williams said. "I liked that, and I thought Kirk Hinrich did a good job of running the show when he was out there.
"I was very pleased with their play, but they've really done a good job in practice for us."
Junior guard Kenny Gregory also carried his solid
practice play into Saturday's game. He scored a teamhigh 20 points and added four offensive rebounds.
In the off-season, Gregory spent a lot of time working on the mental aspects of his game, and he said being mentally prepared helped him Saturday night
"At the beginning of the game I wasn't nervous, and I didn't set any goals." Gregory said. "I didn't say I wanted to come out and get 10 points or eight rebounds. I just asked whatever happens, happens, and I just wanted to go out and have fun and that's part of the mental aspect that's helped me in practice and helped me in the game."
Eight Jayhawks scored in double-figures. An injured Lester Earl added eight points and six rebounds in 17 minutes, and Kansas displayed a tenacious, pressing defense and wide-open, fast-pace offense that could become Kansas's signature play.
Although pleasing for an exhibition game, the Jayhawks realize that some kinks remain.
"I think probably the biggest thing we need to improve is our half-court defense and our full-court trap," sophomore guard Jeff Boschee said. "But we got to get up and down, and we were causing turnovers that led to easy lay-ups and that's what we wanted."
Kansas' next game will be Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. Its second and final preseason contest will be against a professional team from Australia. The regular season will open the following Friday, Nov. 19, against Fairfield at the fieldhouse.

Winbush back in action after surmounting his injuries
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan correspondent
After struggling through a season full of injury and frustration, Kansas running back David Winbush is back. The 5-foot-7, 180-pound junior rushed for 111 yards in 14 carries and three touchdowns in the Jayhawks' 45-10 victory against Baylor on Saturday.
Winbush was completely healthy on Saturday after fully recovering from hagging knee and ankle injuries. Coach Terry Allen knows the frustration Winbush has experienced and applauded his performance on Saturday.
"David's had such a rough year with keeping himself healthy," Allen said. "He hasn't had the opportunity as much
this year, but I'm happy that he's gotten it going. I was really
While Winbush was excited about Saturday's result, he wouldn't take all the credit for his fourth career 100-yard game.
"Our offensive line did a great job of pushing Baylor's line off the ball," Winbush said. "When six different players all will

you know the offensive line did a great job."
Fullback Moran Norris' emergence as
a force in the Jayhawks' running game also has been a key factor lately, according to Winbush. Norris rushed for 75 yards in 13 carries and two touchdowns Saturday.
"I've been looking for the chance to have both of us in the game," Winbush said. "That really keeps them off balance. I've been waiting for that for a while."
Winbush and Norris got the Jayhawk offense rolling early on Saturday by combining to carry seven times for 71 yards on the game's opening drive. Winbush did most of his damage in the first half, recording 10 carries for 78 yards and two touchdowns.
Norris, couldn't be happier with Winbush's play on Saturday.

not playing too well," Norris said. "But you saw how he played. One hundred eleven yards and now he's healthy. He's back."
Mitch Bowles, who rushed for 86 yards in nine carries, joked after the game about a Laurence Journal-World article
about Winbush, which featured a picture of Winbush on a milk carton that signified he was a "missing person."
"We found David in a ditch off K-10. I got him out of there and told him that it's time to go play," Bowles said. "I wasn't too far behind him, so I was in a ditch on the other side of the road. We were just talking to each other today, and I said, 'you know, they want to see you, so go show them.'"
Even though Winbush showed that he was back, he knows that Allen and the fans will be monitoring his performance.
"There was a lesson in disguise to be on the milk carton today." Winbush said. "I know I'm off the milk carton. But if I have another bad game next weekend, then I'm back on it."
Player ejected after elbowing Eric Chenowith in the nose

Kansas writerwriter
Eric Chenowith roused a cheer from the Allen Fieldhouse crowd when he removed his jersey à la Dennis Rodman on the dayhawks' bench during the second half of Kansas' 124-101 exhibition victory against the California East All-Stars on Saturday.
The only problem was that Chenowith did not remove his shirt for the excitement of the crowd but because he heeded blood to be cleaned from it. The blood, much to the dismay of Kansas and it's basketball fans, was from Chenowith's nose.
Midway through the second half. Chenowith was floored by All-Stars player Tony Vilcinskas. Vilcinskas' elbow collided with Chenowith's
face as both players went up for a rebound. The elbow probably broke Chenowith's nose and sent Vilcinskas to the locker room with an ejection. Vilcinskas was later kicked off the All-Stars team by coach Phil Bryant
"It wasn't the cleanest elbow in the world," Chenowith said. "I think it's broken, but the X-ray will let me know for sure. Coach (Joe) Holladay and Nick (Bradford) are the nose experts because they've had their noses broken so many times, and they say it's broken."
Friday night in Manhattan, Vilcinskas was benched by the All-Stars coaches Dana Pump and Bryant for dirty play. Bryant said he would not tolerate play such as that from any of his players.
"I won't tolerate a player walking away from that situation as though it did not mean
anything. He's done, and he's off the team," he said.
After Chenowith went to the bench. Bryant walked across the floor to pat him on the back.
"After I went down Coach Phil (Bryant) came down to the end of the bench to make sure I was all right." Chenwith said. "That meant a lot to me."
Kansas coach Roy Williams was not pleased by the incident.
"I didn't like the fact that it happened," Williams said, "and the people that run that club didn't like it. The guy hit him the play before, and the refs didn't see it and I yelled at them. He hit him that time and they did catch it.
BASKETBALL
"There's no place for it. If you're gonna play basketball, play basketball. If you're gonna act like Mike Tyson, go find him."
Junior center Eric Crienowith argues his case to a referee after being elbowed in the nose by California East All-Star player Tony Vilicinkas. Vilicinsks received a technical foul and was ejected from the game.

Two Jayhawks from California worked with All-Stars coaches
By Brandon Krisztal sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Saturday's exhibition opener against the California All-Stars was a reunion of sorts for the All-Stars coaches and a couple of the Jayhawks from California players.
Long before they were Jayhawks, junior center Eric Chenowith and freshman forward Drew Gooden knew California All-Stars coaches Phil Bryant and Dana Pump. Dana Pump and his brother David run Double Pump
Basketball, which organizes tours featuring former collegiate players, runs camps, showcases and a recruiting service for high school players from southern California.
"I remember when Eric was a ninth grader and Bob Gottlieb (father of Oklahoma State point guard Doug Gottlieb) brought me this tall skinny kid and said 'work with him,' " Dana Pump said. "I've known Drew for a long time, and he worked for us all summer in our camps. It's great to see how much both of them have matured, not only as

basketball players, but as young men."
Pump has four teams which tour the country, representing Northern, Southern, Eastern
and Western California. Bryant also has taken the California East All-Stars to Syracuse, Massachusetts and Kansas State this year. Bryant said that coming to Lawrence was the reason he agreed to coach the tour.
"It's great," Bryant said. "We love coming here. A couple of years ago we met Roy (Williams), and he's obviously a great coach, but he runs such a classy program. The Kansas people are great, and this place is legendary."
Chenowith is appreciative of what the Pumps and Bryant have done for him.
"The Pumps, I just love those guys," Chenwith said. "They always have a smile, and Dana just had some really nice things to say to me before the game. (Playing in front of them is) good because all my family and friends back home see me grow up and progress and then produce here at Kansas.
"Guys like those guys that help me to get to college — it's great for them to see it too because they get some self-satisfaction out of it."
Williams echoed Chenowith's positive sentiments about the Pumps and Bryant.
"Those guys are great people." Williams said. "Drew (Gooden) worked for them this summer.
"They enjoy taking the team around the country. They talked about at Syracuse they had two or three thousand, at UMass about the same thing and maybe a little less over at Manhattan (Kan.). They love come here and think this is what college basketball is all about. I liked having him because they're gonna take the team and make it as competitive as they can."

Before walking down the hill from the KSU Boathouse to the Tuttle Creek Reservoir near Manhattan Saturday morning, the Kansas State rowing team gathered in a circle and belted out "Wildcat Victory." The Jayhawks had a different outcome in mind for the Sunflower Showdown Regatta: Kansas 17, K-State 9.
The Jayhawks and Wildcats were tied at 9 points each going into the final event, the first varsity eight race. The winner earned 8 team points, and the loser received none. The head-to-head events were 2000 meter long sprint races. Kansas and K-State were neck-and-neck through the first 1000 meters, but the Jayhawks started to pull away between the third and fourth 500 meters, building more than a boat-length lead and winning by more than 5 seconds. Kansas finished with a time of 6 minutes, 23.30 seconds. K-State finished with a time of
Rowing
6. 28.70
In the process, the 'Hawks won the Kansas Cup for the first time in three fall season tries. The traveling trophy will reside in Lawrence for a year.
Senior Abby Rosdahl enjoyed taking it from the Wildcats.
"It's huge." Rosdahl said. "K-State is by far our biggest rival. It was especially sweet to have the fate of the team decided on the last race."
Eight points are awarded to winners in the first varsity eight race. Five points are awarded in the second varsity and first novice races, and three points for second novice eight and varsity four races. Winners of the novice four and third varsity eight races earn one point.
The Jayhawks started the regatta on fire, winning the novice four, second varsity
eight and second novice eight races, jumping out to a 9-10 lead. Kansas appeared ready to run away with the regatta with four events left, but K-State answered with wins in the first novice eight, varsity four and third novice eight races. The Jayhawks broke the 9-9 tie with their win in the first varsity eight race.
Kansas had a big win the second varsity eight race, with two boats entered in the event. Both finished ahead of the Wildcat boat.
Junior Jennifer Page, coxswain of the second varsity "A" boat, continued her success as navigator. Page led the second varsity boat to an eighth-place finish at the Head of the Charles Regatta. This was Page's first year as an eight-boat coxswain, although she had piloted a four boat last year.
"I had confidence in my boat; I knew they could win," Page said. "Rowing in a four boat last year gave me experience.
Kansas dominated for most of the race despite a slow start, something for which Page said

"I thought we could win the team trophy. That's what we were shooting for," he said.
The weather was more cooperative this year than last year. The Sunflower Showdown was at Clinton Lake on Halloween last year, a cold, rainy and windy day. This year, the temperature was in the 80s and the wind was minimal.
The Sunflower Showdown was the Jayhawks' final regatta.
Women's tennis team ends season on high note

The Kansas women's tennis team was eliminated from the ITA Rolex Central Regional Championships Friday in Salt Lake City, ending a fall season that included six singles players with winning records, several singles and doubles titles and gaining experience for the spring season.
"We finished strong and that's really important," coach Jenny Garrity said. "We are going to be a team that will be hard to beat. We have a lot of depth."
"When you have four players in

the final 16, that's indicative of a good tournament," Garrity said. "We did a good job of preparing for every match. It was by far our best tournament."
Junior Monica Sekulov (8-5) upset two higher-seeded players en route to her quarterfinals appearance. Sekulov beat Pia-Lena Ander of Boise State, the No. 9 seed, and Oklahoma's Jannie Hamilton, the No. 4 seed, before retiring to Dominikia Olszweska of Oklahoma State because of a pulled muscle in her groin area.
Sekulov said she played well in the tournament despite her injury.
"I just tried to compete and play through the pain," she said. "Who knows what would have happened had I been able to compete more."
KANSAS TENNIS
Garrity said Sekulov's play was inspirational.
"She played some of the best players in the region, and she overcame so much pain," she said. "It was amazing."
Senior Brooke Chiller (5-6),
sophomore Cheryl Malliaah (8-4)
and freshman Tiffany Chang (9-5)
lost in the round of 16 to three
high-seeded players.
Chiller, the No. 10 seed, lost to
No. 1 seed Ana Friganovic of New
Mexico, 6-2, 6-4. Friganovic, who
is ranked No. 4 nationally, won
the tournament.
"Brooke didn't have a great season, but she finished strong." Garrity said. "It's important to finish strong because you have
more confidence, and you'll work harder next season."
Malliaah, seeded No. 13, was defeated by Nebraska's Sandra Noetzel, the No. 3 seed, in straight sets. Chang, who was unseeded, lost to the No. 11 seed, Gee Gee Garvin of BYU.
Garrity said Chang's lack of experience could have hurt her in her final match.
"She was unseeded, and she led 4-1 in the third set against a senior from BYU." Garrity said. "However, this loss will help her realize she can play at a top level."
Senior Julia Sidorova (6-2) and sophomore Christi Wagenaar (9-2) both won matches in the singles consolation round of 32 before dropping round of 16 matches.
Sophomore Lisa Malliach (7-4)
and freshman Kim Lorean (3-7)
lost in the first day of play.
Wagenaar, who had a nine-game winning streak through the Lady Seminole Classic in October, has started using more of her weapons on the court. Garrity said.
"It's no surprise that she had a great season — we've helped her use a lot of her tools that she sometimes didn't use." Garrity said. "She has a lot of confidence now."
The Jayhawks will have time to fine tune their skills until Feb. 6, 2000, when they play Creighton at home. Sekulov said she was looking forward to the upcoming spring season.
"Spring season is more team oriented from the fall season," she said. "We have a great team, and we all help each other out. We'll get better results because of it."

Minnesota victory shocks Penn State
The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE. Pa. — With one miracle play, Minnesota ended No. 2 Penn State's national championship hopes.
The Gophers completed a tipped pass on fourth-and-16 with 1:22 left, setting up Dan Nystrom's 32-yard field goal, which beat the Nittany Lions 24-23 Saturday.
Billy Cockerham's pass bounced off receiver Ron Johnson's hands and Arland Bruce dived to scoop it up at the 13-yard line. Three plays later, Nystrom split the uprights spoiling Joe Paterno's bid for a third national title.
Watching from across the field, Paterno thought the pass was incomplete.
"I though we batted it down." Paterno said after his 400th game as head coach. "Then all of a sudden, on the sideline, they were yelling. 'He caught it! He caught it!"
Nystrom, a freshman who earlier missed an extra point, said he was confident as he prepared for his game-winning field goal.
After Nystrom's kick, the Gophers (6-3, 3-3 Big Ten) jumped for joy as the stunned players from Penn State (9-1, 5-1) walked off the field.
The Gophers' sixth win clinched their first winning season since 1990 and made them eligible for a bowl for the first time since 1986. It was Minnesota's first win against Penn State in five tries, and the Gophers' first victory against a Top 5 team since beating No. 2 Michigan 20-17 in 1986.
They beat a top-25 team for the first time since upsetting No. 23 Syracuse 35-33 in 1996. They had been close all season, losing to Wisconsin, Ohio State and Purdue by a combined 11 points.
"The best team wins, and you only have to be the best team for three hours, or in this case, three seconds," said Minnesota coach Glen Mason.

Colorado spooks K-State
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan.— After many easy victories, No. 6 Kansas State got what it probably needed most the week before Nebraska — a big scare.
For worried players and white-knuckled fans, Saturday's 20-14 victory against Colorado brought back haunting memories of last year's double-overtime 36-33 loss to Texas & M, when K-State wasted a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter of the Dixie Bowl.

"It was starting to get pretty scary," said defensive back
Lamar Chapman, whose
C
second interception set up what turned to be the game-winning field goal for the Wildcats (9.0 overall, 6.0 Big 12).
Colorado quarterback Mike Moschetti, shut down almost entirely by Kansas State's quick-hitting defense, finally found the range when he connected with Jevon Green on a 64-yard touchdown pass play that trimmed the Wildcats' lead to 20-7 with 62:1 left.
After a Kansas State punt, Moschetti hit Green on the left sideline and the 6-foot-2 junior broke several tackles during a 70-yard scoring play.
All of a sudden, it was 2014 with 412 left. And, in another eerie reminder of that crushing loss to Texas A&M, the crowd had been cheering just a few minutes earlier at the news of
Minnesota's upset of No. 2 Penn State.
In the Big 12 title game, Texas A&M's rally had coincided almost exactly with the announcement that UCLA had lost to Miami, leaving the Wildcats a clear path to the national championship game — had they beaten the Aggies.
Finally, on fourth-and-6 from their 38,

Kansas State's struggling offense had only one first down when Quincy Morgan got 10 yards behind cornerback Damen Wheeler and teamed with Jonathan Beasley on a 68-yard touchdown pass play on third-and-11 with 1:53 left in the first quarter.
Beasley went nine yards on a quarterback draw, and Joe Hall bulled into the end zone with 37 seconds left in the half. The Wildcats were um 14-0 at the half.
Adam Helm replaced Beasley at quarterback and guided the Wildcats to a first down at the 8. Four plays later, Rheem came in to kick a 20-yard, setting the Kansas State record with his 14th straight successful kick.

"They're a good football team, but they're not .37 points better than we are," Smith said. "Our
offense absolutely stunk today. It was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life."
The Sooners (5,3, 3-2 Big 12 Conference) pushed their series lead to 59-23-5 against the Tigers and beat Missouri for the 15th consecutive time in Norman.
The Tigers (4-5, 1-5 Big 12)

Missouri defensive end Justin
Smith stopped fullback Seth
Littrell in the Oklahoma

But Missouri was unable to

Tim Duncan's 25-yard field goal and a 5-yard touchdown pass from Josh Heupel to Seth Littrell put the Sooners up 10-10 in the first half.
From there it got worse for the Tigers, who have now lost four of their last five games, including three on the road.

"Overall, I was very pleased with the players' effort and execution in most parts of the game," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said after the Sooners pushed closer to their first winning season since 1994.
After losing running back Michael Thornton for the year in a 38-24 loss to Colorado a week ago, the Sooners started redshift freshman Quenton Griffin against the Tigers.
Griffin led the Sooners with 69 yards rushing on 14 carries.

Big 12 Basketball
New Bears coach has big task
By Brandon Krisztal
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Crawling out of the Big 12 Conference coach is the task at hand for new Baylor coach Dave Bliss.
Bliss, who coached the last 11 seasons at New Mexico, will have his hands full trying to turn around the Bears' basketball program. He is attempting to develop chemistry on a team that lost 10 letterman from last year's 6-24 season when Baylor went winless in conference play.
"The Baylor team is a team in transition," Bliss said. "When a new coach comes in, the personnel changes, some people move on. The ones that stay, in our case Tevis Stukes, Jamie Kendrick and David Jones, can be valuable contributors to this year's basketball team."
New players Terry Black, DeMarcus Minor and John Flippen should contribute as well. Bliss said.
"The problem I think we have at the outset is we don't have a lot of

Key players returning: Senior forward Jamie Kendrick (9.8 points per game, 6 rebounds per game) and senior guard Tevis Stukes (17.8 points in 13 games).
Key players lost: Center Kish Lewis (14.3 points, 8.9 rebounds)
Outlook: Bliss has had success wherever he's coached, and Baylor should be no different.
Don't expect Baylor to compete with the upper echelon of Big 12 teams this season, however.
depth to really compete the way people have to in this league."
Kendrick, a senior forward, will anchor the Bears lineup. Last season he led the team with six rebounds and 9.8 points per game.
Stukes, a senior guard, will return to the Baylor backcourt as the Bears' leading scorer. He averaged
17. 8 points per game in the first 13 games of the season, before he left the team because of personal rea;ons.
The two newcomers who Bliss expects to impact the team are junior college transfers Black and Minor. Black, a 6-foot-5 forward and Big 12 preseason Newcomer of the Year, was a two-time All-America selection while at Indian Hills Community College in Iowa.
Minor, who will join Stukes in the backcourt, averaged 14.8 points, 5.7 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game last season at Barton County Community College.
Kendrick said Bliss had made changes to help the team improve.
"There's already been a lot of changes in practice," Kendrick said. "We're gonna be more of an up-tempo team."
Edited by Katrina Hull
Prior to New Mexico, Bliss coached eight seasons at Southern Methodist and four seasons at Oklahoma.
Baylor to rely on younger class

third-place preseason pick.
Last season, seniors Lara Webb, Kacy Moffitt and Toya Ellis accounted for 70 percent of the scoring on a team that started the season ranked third in the Big 12.
The team will rely on guards Nichelle Boutte and Mandy Hayworth for leadership, even though neither of them ever has had a key role on the team.
Another of the team's key players will be Danielle Crockrom, who had an impressive freshman

This season, the team will return only four upperclassmen, which means the five-player sophomore class will have to step up and fill some gaps.

age with 522, averaging 9.1 points per game.
Despite the problems this team faces, Coach Sonja Hogg said she was excited about the season and expected the team to do well.
"I'm very excited about the chemistry of this team," Hogg said. "What they lack in experience, they make up for in chemistry. They are very good friends, even off the court. They may be young and inexperienced, but they are very athletic."

Outlook: Though the Bears are picked to finish 11th in the conference, they expect to surprise a few teams. What they lack in experience, they make up for in athleticism and chemistry. Hayworth will return after missing the last eight games of last season, and Cockrum should make a big impact.

GOING FOR GOLD
Students lose out when professors find more cash, benefits elsewhere
STORY BY AMANDA KASCHUBE ·ILLUSTRATION BY KYLE RAMSEY
Ben Leimkuhier has taught math at the University of Kansas for nine years, but this semester will be his last. He's moving to England to teach at a university that offers him more opportunities — and more money.
(USPS 650-640)
It isn't just for money because no one really leaves just for more money," he said. "But the lack of reasonable increases in salaries and the constant cut of salaries is demoralizing. At colleges all over the world, almost everyone at my stage is making more money than me."
But it is the money, University officials say. Whether it's salaries, teaching assistants or new equipment, the University is losing out to other schools that can better provide for their faculty members.
And it's getting worse. In a state where the average nine-month university teaching salary is $58,060, and where only a handful of people in some Western counties may earn that much in a whole year, a professor's salary looks pretty darn good.
"The simple fact is as we construct a budget, we look at all the functions of the state government," said Kansas Rep. Melvin Neufeld (R-Ingalls). "It's not to say they don't deserve a pay increase, but we have to look at the whole picture. We have limited resources. We have to pick and choose."
University officials are crusading for salary increase, but without more money from the state legislature, their cries are in vain.
This year the legislature picked tax cuts, and the governor chose to institute budget cuts across the board, leaving promises of better funding for salaries in
the next legislative session.
Neufeld agreed that the University shouldn't have to lower its quality of education, but KU administrators argue that Kansas can't continue to be competitive without higher professor salaries.
In a recent survey by the Pope Center for Higher Education, the professors at the University were ranked 73rd out of 80 universities in salaries for professors and associate professors, a fact that makes many administrators down right angry.

"Tutition at KU is a real bargain, but lower tuition equals less money into the University to support the operating expenses. It's great for students, but in the long run, it hurts the University," said Sally Frost Mason, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. "The bottom line, though, is that we have a hard time competing with similar colleges."
Encancellor Robert Hemenway says the University offers professors a good place to teach and interact with students. For some professors, however, that isn't enough to keep them here.

Forgery robs victims of money, credit rating
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Katie Hollar
When Maureen Perry dropped her purse at a party, she didn't think the accident would cost her more than $100. The Eden Prairie, Minn., freshman scooped up her belongings when she returned from the bathroom. She thought she got everything.
She didn't.
Perry discovered her checks had been stolen when she received a phone call from a Dillons employee a few days later, she said.
Someone had tried to write one of Perry's checks for $30 more than the grocery total and ran off when the manager was called. The Dillons
employee asked Perry why she ran and if she wanted the check back.
"I told them it wasn't me," Perry said. "I called the cops and filed a police report."
Perry said a messy ordeal ensued. She lost a lot of money, both in check-canceling fees and in checks that had been forged and cleared.
"It's kind of an expensive lesson," she said.
Forgery is a common crime in Lawrence, robbing victims of both money and good credit. And while the victim pays a high price, the perpetrator faces few consequences.
"We get at least several forgery reports every day," said Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department.
Wheeler said the real prob.
item with forgery was the permanent damage to the victim's credit.
"You need to guard you checkbook like you would your money," he said. "Not only can they take your money, they can ruin your credit."
"You need to guard your
He said forgery was not limited to checks. It could occur with credit cards and ATM cards, too.
Tricia Boyd, personal banking officer at Mercantile Bank, said in many cases, a victim's money could be returned.
"If we've paid the checks and all of the proper paperwork is filled out, then the customer would be reimbursed," Boyd said. "If the checks are
returned, the individual has to deal with either the merchant

tion agency."
tion agency." The crime has a special significance for KU students, Wheeler said. "I know KU uses a check card system," he said. "And since there's so any people that
stuff in a communal living situation, you should be doubly cautious."
Under Kansas law, forgery is classified as a nonperson felony. But the penalties are minimum.
Wheeler said that under current sentencing guidelines, the usual punishment was presumptive probation. In addition, the forger would be ordered to pay a fine and restitution, he said.
scott Poettker, St. Peters, Mo., junior and recent forgery victim, said he thought the punishment was fair.
"I think there maybe should be some sort of community service," he said. "There should be reparations."
More than $500 worth of checks were forged on Poettker's account. Though his money has been refunded, the situation still irks him.
"It really botheres me to know I have checks coming back from 15, 16 places all over town that I never wrote," he said.

Students could lose parking on bus route
ay Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff worker
Ordinances before the Lawrence City Commission tonight may force some KU students to find a new place to park.
David Woosley, city traffic engineer, said two possible ordinances could prohibit parking along a street that KU students park on and then catch the KU on Wheels bus.
One ordinance would prohibit parking from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday along the south side of West 22nd St. from Kasold Drive to the east property line of 3205 W. 22nd St. and along the east side of 22nd Court. The other one would prohibit parking at all times along the south side of West 22nd St. east of the east property line of 3205 W. 22nd St. and along the west side of 22nd Court.
Woosley said the ordinances resulted from concerns about the number of students parking there.
"The original request came from residents in the area who said that students were parking there all day long and making it difficult to get through the street," he said.
Charles Hoffman, who has lived at 3205 W. 22nd St. for 11 years, said parked cars clogged up the street and that there wasn't enough room for the KU buses that pass by every 30 minutes and stop at West 22nd St. and Heatherwood Drive.
"I've even been forced up off the road twice by bus drivers that won't yield," he said.
Woosley said one concern was that those parking on the street did not live in the area and were putting an undue burden on the residents who did live there.
Hoffman said he recently counted 14 cars parked along the street, none of which had Douglas County license plates. Hoffman said that led him to believe they were students' cars.
Not only is the congestion a nuisance, but it could be dangerous, he said.
"It's a serious problem with safety," Hoffman said. "If we had a fire, there's no way a fire engine or an ambulance could get in here."
Woosley said the Traffic Safety Commission decided to recommend the parking prohibition after holding a hearing and listening to the concerns of area residents. Hoffman said he was happy with the recommendation for no parking signs.
"I told them, "The quicker you can get them up, then the happier about 14 homes here will be," he said.
If either ordinance passes tonight at the city commission meeting, it would be two to three weeks before the signs would be posted, Woosley said.

Administrative salaries low compared to most Big 12 universities
By Clay McCuistion
By Clay McCullough
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas may compete athletically with other universities in the Big 12, but when it comes to administrative salaries, the Jayhawks are falling behind the pack.
While the disparity may not be as glaring as the low faculty pay, the University came up short when the salaries of eight administrative positions were compared in 11 of the Big 12 schools. The University's average administrative salary was third-to-last, at $142,024. The universities with a lower average pay for the eight positions were Kansas State University and the University of Oklahoma. The highest average pay was at the University of Texas, with $221,544. Deborah Teter, director of the office of
institutional research and planning, said salaries for KU administrators had traditionally been low.
Rascal year 1999 salaries were compared for the positions of chancellor, provost, research officer, general counsel, student affairs officer, the dean of liberal arts and sciences, the dean of business and the dean of law. All Big 12 universities provided salary figures except for Baylor University, which is private, and therefore not required to release such information.

"That's my interpretation in looking at this for literally decades," said Teeter, who has worked at the University collecting statistical information for 25 years. "It's typical."
At the University, Chancellor Robert Hemenway's salary is set by the Kansas Board of Regents. The chancellor decides the provost's salary. The two then set the
salaries of the administrators who work in their respective offices.
"It kind of just follows the organizational chart," said Lindy Eakin, associate provost for support services.
Eakin is in charge of finding extra money in the University budget for newly-hired administrators. He said meager pay made it difficult to attract quality administrators.
"It makes it hard to recruit people if they don't think the resources are going to be there." Eakin said. "I'm on the search committee for a new law dean, and one of the first questions we ask is: 'Can we afford to hire someone?'"
Eakin said public perceptions that administrators were highly paid made raising salaries difficult.
daily, percentage.
The news hasn't been all bad, though.
"We realize the salaries are that low, but nobody really cares about administrators being underpaid," he said. "We're
in the relatively same position as the faculty, percentage-wise."
The news hasn't been an bad, though. The chancellor was given a $19,986 raise this summer by the Board of Regents, which boosted his salary for fiscal year 2000 to $202,428, almost a 10 percent raise. Taking the increase into account, he still lagged behind five of the Big 12 chancellors' '1999 salaries.
Kim Wilcox, executive director of the regents, said the board was doing what it could.
Unfortunately, the regents only have the authority to raise salaries for the presidents and chancellors of universities. Wilcox said.
"The Board of Regents has been quite vocal in recent years in addressing the lack of compensation for all university employees," he said.

Study Abroad office to hold fair at Union
Students bored with the scenery and the people in Lawrence can visit the fourth floor of the Kansas Union today and talk with representatives from more than 20 summer study abroad programs.
David Wiley, outreach coordinator for the office, said the fair normally attracted a lot of students.
"The traffic is usually pretty steady," he said. "This fair is different because it only focuses on the summer programs offered by the University."
The University sponsors 26 summer programs in 17 countries including Nice, France; Tunis, Tunisia; and Nepal. Many of the programs, including the ones in Great Britain, are conducted in English.
The KU Summer Institutes are accepting applications now.
Wiley said the fair would help students decide if study abroad was the right choice for them.
"Some students come by to just check out their options," he said. "Others know that they definitely want to do it, and this is the first step in their path."
The fair will be 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.

Three men arrested for battery of student
Three Wichita men were arrested last weekend after allegedly battering a KU student, Lawrence police said.
Some of the passengers got out of the car and beat him, he said.
The victim, a 20-year-old male student, said he was walking in the 800 block of Massachusetts Street when he encountered a BMW convertible with four or five men inside. When he yelled at the driver of the car for almost hitting him, the car stopped, he said.
The suspects said they had met the victim earlier at a party. They said the victim struck one of them, starting the fight on Massachusetts Street.
The victim was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and released.
The suspects fled the scene but were arrested by the Kansas Highway Patrol on the Kansas Tumpike. The driver of the car was arrested on counts of driving while intoxicated and false writing. Two other suspects were arrested for aggravated battery.

Roman Catholic church burns, arson suspected
STOCKTON, Calif. — A suspicious fire heavily damaged a Roman Catholic church, and a swastika was
painted on an outside wall
The Stockton Fire Department responded to a fire at the Church of the Presentation following a Mass on Sunday evening. Authorities were investigating it as a potential hate crime as well as potential arson.
The two-alarm blaze caused extensive damage to an altar and a classroom area, burning pews and laminated beams. The classroom was destroyed and much of the main church sustained water and smoke damage, said Stockton Fire Department Battalion Chief Pete H
A Spanish-Language Mass had been completed in the church about an hour before the fire was discovered, officials said. While the fire was described as suspicious, candles were used during the service and haven't been ruled out as a possible cause. Klein said.
A freshly painted swastika and other graffiti was found on a wall and on a statue in a garden area.
Officials said the church hadn't received any threats or hate mail before the fire. The church likely will be unusable for at least a couple of months.
Service held for man slain in Xerox shooting
HONOLULU—In a simple ceremony that made far more mention of how he lived than of how he died, Melvin Lee was remembered as a family man whose talents ranged from cooking to karate.
A crowd of more than 1,000 overflowed from the Nuanuan Memorial Park chapel on Sunday to remember Lee, 58. He was the first of seven men slain in Tuesday's Xerox Corp. shootings to be laid to rest.
"Sometimes, when someone such as Mel and six others are allowed to be killed, we wonder, 'Where is God?' the Rev. Christopher Eng of Waipahu United Church of Christ told gatherers. He urged mourners to find comfort in
their hair and to celebrate Lee's life.

Missing girl found dead in rural Kansas ditch
OSKALOOSA — A teen-age girl, who disappeared after being let off a school bus at her home Friday afternoon, was found dead early Monday, and a man was being held in connection with her death.
Jefferson County Sheriff Roy Dunnaway said the body of Zetta Camilla Arfmann, 14, of rural Oskaloosa, was found about 2:30 a.m. in a ditch about three miles northwest of the city. He said it was covered with dirt and trash.
An autopsy showed she had been shot. Dunnay said.
The sheriff said a 25-year-old Oskaloosa man was taken into custody after the body was found, but he had not been charged. The county attorney's office said it did not expect to file charges until Tuesday.

Ex-dictator to move, house arrest continues
LONDON — Gen. Augusto Pinochet is to move from his rented country mansion at the end of the month, and associates of the former Chilean dictator have asked police if a seaside location would be suitable, the Daily Telegraph reported Monday.
Pinochet, 83, has been under house arrest since October 1998 on a Spanish warrant seeking his extradition to face trial for alleged human rights abuses during his 17-year rule.
The lease of the house he is renting in the upscale Wentworth Estate, 20 miles west of London, ends this month, the Telegraph said.
Associates of the general declined to say whether the landlord had refused to renew his lease, or if Pinochet had decided to move, the newspaper said.
A new home for Pinochet must be approved by the magistrate who set his bail conditions and by police.
In signs of a possible way out, the Chilean government said Friday that Britain has agreed to order new medical checks, if Pinochet agrees, to decide whether he should be sent home on humanitarian grounds.
Pope tries to bridge gap between denominations
TBILISI, Georgia — Pope John Paul II took his drive to build new bridges with the Orthodox Church to this former Soviet republic Monday, but his initiative appeared to meet resistance.
On a visit that pointed to the difficulty in reaching his goal of closer links among Christian denominations, the pope was greeted by Georgian Orthodox Patriarch Iilia II and President Eduard Shevardnadze on his arrival from India.
They embraced the pope, and the pope and the patriarch later appeared in the 11th-century cathedral walking down the center aisle shoulder-to-shoulder.
But in his public remarks, the patriarch failed to follow up on John Paul's call to move for renewed fraternity between the denominations.

Judge rejects Gates' testimony, may affect punishment ruling
WASHINGTON — The judge behind the blistering ruling against the Microsoft Corp. didn't question the honesty of Bill Gates outright, but he rejected almost every explanation of events offered under oath by the world's most famous billionaire.
The Associated Press
The lack of faith that U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson showed in Microsoft's trustworthiness could hurt chances for a less severe punishment, so crown for a settlement offer.
The judge could order remedies up to and including a breakup of the company in the next phase of the case, unless a settlement is agreed to in the meantime.
In one of its most sensational claims during the lawsuit, the Justice Department said Microsoft quietly met with software rival Netscape to illegally divide the market, a charge Gates called an outrageous lie.
The judge called the offer an effort to persuade
Netscape to structure its business in a way that would prevent the company from distributing platform-level browsing software for Windows. He didn't buy Microsoft's version of events throughout his ruling.
PANCHIT KUMAR
"It's clear he didn't think they had much (credibility)," said Marc Schildkraut, a former Federal Trade Commission official who questioned Gates during negotiations with Microsoft in the early 1990s in the FTC's antitrust investigation.
Microsoft declined to comment on inferences that the judge didn't find its witnesses truthful.

Germany still reeling from Cold War
Activities mark 10 years without the Berlin Wall
By BriAnne Hess Special to the Kansan
Breaking up was hard to do.
And after more than 50 years of forced separation between East Germany and West Germany, making up has been just as difficult.
Although the fall of the Berlin Wall 10 years ago symbolized the end of the Cold War and the crumbling of communism, it has been hard for Germany to pick up the pieces of its relationship, said some German citizens.
Jochen Pfiszer, Stuttgart, Germany, senior, said the discontent was rooted in the struggling German economy.
"The status Germany had after the second World War was never really accepted and somehow felt as an unreal condition to us Germans," Pfiszer said.
Combining the two halves of Germany impacted both culture and economics, he said.
"The East Germans think that they are not really accepted by the West Germans," Pfiszter
said, "In West Germany, people were working hard for having a better life after the second World War and were proud that they achieved one of the best economies in the world. Now they are envious about the fact that the people in East Germany are getting everything for free."
He said more than $400 billion dollars had been transferred to the eastern half of the country since reunification.
"People have to realize that it takes more time to even out the different ways of living over the last 40 years," Pfizzer said.
College students, many of whom were in elementary school on Nov.9,1989,might not have recognized the impact that the fall of the Berlin Wall had on the rest of the world.
"The Cold War established a strange brand of world stability," said Anne Merydith-Wolf, project coordinator for the Office of International Programs. "The U.S. kept certain things under check as a country and chose to accept some dictators because they leaned more toward us. We wouldn't allow flare-ups to happen and now that lid has come off."
The 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall will be

New class to explore U.S., German culture
A class will be offered next semester that will examine relations between Germans and Americans in the 20th century.
German heritage in the United States is extensive, and between 46 and 54 percent of Kansans describe themselves as having German ancestry, according to the U.S. Bureau of Census. However, relations between the United States and Germany have been less than congenial.
Andrea Weis, graduate teaching assistant in English and a native German, said she wanted to examine these relationships in a class, English 203 Composition and Literature: German/American Literature and Film.
"The popular images were of Germans as Nazis," Weis said. "They don't know that a lot of Germans tried to resist, but couldn't."
She said images in movies like Hogan's Heroes gave poor stereotypes to Germans.
Subjects in films and literature the class will examine include the Holocaust, the Nazi Era, the Cold War and Germans who lived and produced work while in exile.
"I think that we don't know much about the influences of German intellectuals in American culture," Weis said.
She said the class would examine some of the hypocrisy of American culture during World War II. She said Americans were trying to democratize Germany but at the same time perpetuated injustices like maintaining a segregated armed forces.
She also said because Germans in the 20th century had a hard time dealing with the Holocaust, they embraced aspects of American culture to reinvent themselves.
"Many Germans in the 1950s believed that in America they could be anything they wanted to be," Weis said.
The class will meet from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. English 102 is a prerequisite.
Kristin Field, Bedford, Texas, senior, is a German major. She said although the class was related to her field, it fulfilled an English requirement rather than a major requirement.
"The idea is to offer classes that will get people interested in German culture through arts and literature and film." Field said.
She said she thought most German majors would examine similar themes in their classes conducted in German.
Siblings watch out for each other as roommates, friends

Things are not much different now for Leslie, Kyle and Amanda Spikes than it was growing up in Hugaton 10 years ago.
The students are the only children in their family, and they are living together in a small house on Naismith Drive. It is the first time the three have lived together since they were under their parents' roof.
"Sometimes it just feels like our parents are on an extended vacation." Leslie said.
They ask each other to follow many of the same rules their parents asked them to follow growing up, including taking dishes to the kitchen, cleaning up after themselves and turning the television down when somebody is sleeping.
Kyle, a 20-year-old junior, and Amanda, an 18-year-old freshman, still fight about the remote and about her borrowing his clothes. Leslie, a 21-year-old senior, still acts as the mediator.
"Sometimes we'll tell each
other "You sound like Mom," said Amanda, who lives in the dining room.
Besides the occasional fighting and nagging, the siblings said they were glad to live with each other.
Leslie said there was always someone to talk to or do something with. She said they also have an unspoken rule to talk to each other about problems before bringing their parents into the situation.
Kyle said there were many benefits to living with his sisters. He said they have done his laundry for him a few times, and it was easier to say what was on his mind.
"If your sibling is mad at you, it's not that big of a deal," he said. "It's been that way all of your life."
Amanda said she considered living in Templin Hall this year and felt like she was missing out on that aspect of college life. However, she said the trade-off was worth it.
"We've always been close," Amanda said. "It really hasn't changed that much. We still have fun together. I definitely
think we'll look back on it and think it was something special.
The Spikes are a few of many of students at the University of Kansas who live with siblings.
Julie Dougherty, Lawrence senior, has lived with her twin sister. Erin, every year except their freshman year when they attended the University of Northern Arizona.
Julie said there were many favors she and her sister did for each other that a regular roommate would not. Julie said the largest was when her financial aid for a semester was accidentally sent to St. Mary College instead of the University of Kansas. Her sister paid for her tuition until she received the correct financial aid.
Julie, who is one of five children in her family, said that they were all very close and that they took sibling trips together each summer.
"It's the best solution because if it's a sibling, you know what's in store," Julie said. "You already know the good things and the things that irritate you."
Rami Elnatsha, Lawrence senior, said he had no choice but
to live with his younger brother Ahmed when he moved from the family's home in Palestine to Lawrence before the semester began.
"That's the way our tradition is back home," Rami said. "A brother lives with his brother. There's no way I'd let him live anywhere else."
He said it was easier for the two to live together since they speak Arabic and have the same traditions. He said the cultural differences between Palestine and the U.S. were difficult to deal with when he lived with a roommate his freshman year. Rami said as a practicing Muslim, he did not drink or allow alcohol in his home. His former roommate did not share that belief, which he said was an example of the friction they sometimes felt.
Rami said he and his brother looked out for each other more than a typical roommate would.
"We take care of each other," Rami said. "When you live with your brother, you're more into his life, and he's more into yours."

Proposed zero-tolerance policy only would perpetuate problems
Last week, the Department of Student Housing announced new possibilities to curb alcohol consumption in campus housing. Even though these measures are targeted to decrease consumption, they may actually increase it and, furthermore, increase the propensity for accidents.
The policy being reviewed would modify three major guidelines for on-campus housing alcohol policies. First, it would make it illegal to be intoxicated in University housing. Second, it would outlaw empty alcoholic containers of any kind, and lastly, it would allow punishment for those who are in a room with an intoxicated person.
These polices only will drive students out of their rooms, and more alarmingly, to their cds or elsewhere to party. Haskell University recently outlawed anyone being intoxicated in university housing. Earlier this year, Haskell's new policy was blamed for a drunk-driving accident that killed three students. It is evident that students will drink, so the University should seek to keep beniated people stationary, instead of forcing them to find other areas to drink legally.
Proposal should attempt to protect students,not force them into greater danger
at a bar and are intoxicated, since they can't go home? They have to find an alternative place to go, maybe increasing drunk traffic.
Plus, where does one go if they are
Outlawing empty containers is an understandable measure.
But this policy unjustly punishes innocent bystanders. What person can control whether his or her roommate will be drunk? And if one roommate is drunk, the policy would force the other to find somewhere else to stay, as they could be held responsible. This puts a burden on someone that has done nothing wrong.
The University should seek to protect students living in on-campus housing but not with these policies. By trying to enforce such rigid regulations, the University only will perpetuate the problem.

Coke containers should be recycled
Is it possible to be halfway committed to ecological responsibility? This is a question that Coca-Cola ought to ask itself. Then it should go the extra mile and spend the extra dollar to use recycled plastics in their bottling.
A representative from Coca-Cola's industry and consumer affairs division was well-versed in Coke policy and rhetoric when she answered questions in a recent interview with the Kansan.
According to the representative, Coke has used plastic bottles for packaging since the 1930s, but it was in 1976 that one-liter bottles were first test marketed in vending machines. Supposedly, the goal was to give the consumer more options.
Students should not tolerate Coca-Cola's insistance on using non-recycled bottles
Whether an area is serviced by aluminum or plastic vending machines, according to Coke, is determined through test marketing. But KU students and faculty cannot remember being given the opportunity to decide what came to our campus, and plastic bottles are what we received.
recycled plastics in car parts and carpet. The plastics industry saw to it that virgin plastics became a much more economically appealing option for major companies. Coke had introduced plastic bottles with recycled content in 1991 but quit soon after gaining access to much cheaper, more destructive non-recycled plastics.
Coke spends $2 billion a year on recycled materials, more than any other soft drink bottler in the world. Yet it fails to use as much as other companies that seek to use
When faced with the option of either contributing to ecological degradation or sacrificing bottle-cap convenience, the correct answer is clear. This student body should not support Coke's use of non-recycled plastics in its bottles. If Coke is all we can get, we should at least be able to choose what container we suck it from.

Lack of awards causes National Merit squalor
ear Chancellor Hemenway,
D. Courtier Remembray
The little boy you are quite busy, what with budget cuts, has motivated ACLU, a new capital campaign and aptly student senators demanding a free-standing rec center. But I wonder if I might be able to take just a moment of your time.
Yolanda S. Rodriguez
Four years ago, almost to the day, I took a test. The kind that requires a No. 2 pencil and a bubble sheet. My friend, I'll call him Chris, took that same test with me that day. Chris is $15,000 richer than I am (not counting next year's check) because he scored 13 points higher than I did; that's more than $1,000 per point for a test we took as juniors in high school. In case you couldn't guess, Chris is a National Merit Scholar. I am not.
Simpson columnist
joining kansas.com
You might argue that it is a good investment for the University to spend money attracting Scholars. In many cases, you certainly are correct. I commend you in your effort to increase the academic integrity of the University by showing a commitment to academic achievement. But your current recruiting policy assumes that all National Merit Scholars are outstanding students and that all outstanding students are merit scholars.
In my experience, this is not the case. My freshman year, two-yes, TWO-Merit Scholars who lived on my floor in Templin flunked out of the University. Not my idea of a good investment. And although I love Chris to death, he hasn't always lived up to his potential. Why only reward overachieving high schoolers when there are so many overachieving college students who equally deserve that much money, if not more? Why can't you earn a full ride once you're here?
If this sounds like sour grapes from one left out in the cold, you're absolutely right. If I sound bitter, it's only because despite performing well while at the University, I have little opportunity to increase my scholarship opportunities. The University only awards money to incoming freshmen. And the
University Scholars Program (of which I am a member) only awards $250 per semester despite claiming to bring together the best and the brightest each year. If I had been so "bright" four years ago, I would be making TWENTY times that amount. That, sir, is absurd. And what's to be said for students who attend schools that don't emphasize the PSAT? Many take the test not even knowing its eventual ramifications because their schools and counselors never tell them. One day, one test, $5,000. It doesn't make sense.
I think you emphasize merit scholars for two reasons. First, because of name recognition. When you announce that the University has recruited more than 100 merit scholars this year, all your fellow chancellors know what you mean. I agree, it makes the University look good. And second, it's easy. No one in Lawrence has to read essays, pore over transcripts or make difficult decisions. That's all done by someone else; high gain, low effort for the University.
But it's still high effort, low, low gain for many students. My solution is not to remove our emphasis on Merit Scholars. I think ultimately it will result in a higher status for the University. But I think it is important for you, sir, and others, to realize the great talents of those of us who maybe weren't feeling well one Saturday in October during our junior year in high school, or whose strengths lie in abstract problem solving, not vocabulary and math questions. There are so few opportunities for scholarships once at this university that it's very difficult to increase your aid package as a sophomore, junior or senior, regardless of merit.
I know that you are in the midst of a capital campaign. I urge you to designate a portion of that money for scholarships to be awarded to students who exhibit excellence here at the University, to reward those who actually excel in college, not just in high school. Few things would exhibit your commitment to academic excellence more than showing that your dedication does not end once we, as students, decide to attend KU, but rather continues through our graduation.

Cold War wasn't peaceful, Third World paid dearly
Ideas are the most powerful things on earth. Like air, they permeate the whole atmosphere of our planet and surround it like a cloud. Just as we cannot escape the air we breathe, we cannot escape the ideas that form the mental atmosphere of our globe. As air is indispensable for our existence, ideas also are vital to who we are as people. But just as the quality of air varies, so does the quality of ideas. In some places on our planet air is so stale that breathing it can make us sick. In the same vein, some ideas are so pernicious that thinking them can rumb our minds and bring our lives
DANIEL S. MORRIS
The problem is that ideas, like air, can move. Unfortunately, ideas are dynamic. To continue the analogy with air, consider this: The people in New York are suing some utility companies located in Ohio. Why? The people in the Big Apple allege that the Ohio companies have been generating a lot of pollution in their facilities. This pollution, once in the air, has been drifting toward New York and polluting the air there. Do they have a point? The courts will decide
Donato
Fhunsu

opinion@kansan.com
What concerns me here, though, is this: ideas do pass from one mind to another, and through education, they pass from a few minds to many minds.
I wondered even more, a few weeks ago, when I picked up Diplomacy for the Next Century by Abba Eban, a former ambassador of Israel to the United States. I am interested in international relations, and I would like to know what diplomacy might be like in the 21st Century. But I was astonished to find out what this author said about the 20th Century: "Few people in 1989 were predicting that the Cold War was about to end. Conventional 'wisdom' told us that the East-East tendency in Europe would dominate the international system for several more decades. The idea that the Communist
empire would perish without a bloodbath was regarded as a fantasy."
Cold War? Without a bloodbath? I am not an expert on anything, but I think that the words we use betray our vision of the world. As Eban himself states, conventional wisdom had divided the world between West (the United States and its allies) and East (the Soviet Union and its satellites). Because no war was fought in Moscow or Washington, there was no "bloodbath" to the whole situation, and the evil Communist empire went down the drain peacefully. This was a good thing, and now we are supposed to be grateful and teach this "truth" in political science, history, economics and other courses in our schools.
But I question this "truth." The power struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union led to the so-called proxy wars in many parts of the world: South America, Central America, Africa and Asia. And these wars, fueled by the American and Soviet ideologies, financed by American and Soviet money and carried out with American and Soviet arms, made the cold war very hot indeed, and shed rivers of blood.
During the so-called Cold War, the world, mostly the so-called Third World, bled and drowned in a bloodbath. Now, does the blood of all these people matter? If it doesn't, then let's continue to hypnotize humanity with the concept of the Cold War. If it does, by God, let's have the intellectual integrity to call it what it was; the Hot War.
All of us at institutions of higher education, whether students, teachers, administrators or support staff, are involved in the processing and transmission of ideas. Ideas are processed through thinking and transmitted through communication
Ideas rule the world. That's why, to paraphrase Socrates, the unexamined ideas are not worth thinking.
— spoken or written communication. Education, I always have been told, is about the search for truth. But sometimes I wonder about that stated goal and the actual practice of education.

Honest evolution debate needed
Kudos to Chad Bettes for his column "Intellectual Pursuit Only Goes So Far in Academia." I agree, our recent discussions at KU concerning evolution have been more political than scientific. Any view that disagrees with that of the intellectual elite is ridiculed and excluded, rather than debated on evidence alone.
I found it interesting to contrast Bettes' editorial with the story by Jim O'Malley on last week's intelligent design
lecture by Dr. Wells. In this article, Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy, said, "The critique of evolution seems to be I can't imagine this, so it must have been a miracle." What wasn't mentioned was that Professor Melott wasn't present at the lecture or that Dr. Wells didn't use any such argument. Rather, Wells challenged the evidence used by Darwinists to advance their explanation of biology and biological origins. That's what scientists do.

I agree with Bettes that KU has not covered itself with glory in its handling of this
important scientific debate. To this, I have a suggestion. Let's invite Dr. Wells' back for an honest debate on the issue. If we won't, then what are we afraid of?

Kansas professors' wages falling behind
Continued from page 1A
The Facts
Since 1971, when professors were paid an average of $13,939 a year, KU salaries have risen 316.5 percent to their current mean of $58,600. While some professors are paid more than most jobs in Western Kansas, they are not paid as much as their peers at colleges in other states. And that's a big problem.
"Faculty members want to be compensated at certain levels with their achievements." Hemenway said.
Administrators blame increasing operating expenses and miserly funding from the state legislature as the main reasons for the salary problems.
Average faculty salaries for all levels have fallen to 87 percent of their peers, said Provest David Shulenburger.
"It's happened because Kansas hasn't raised salaries at the same rates," he said. "We haven't kept up with the market. The state hasn't chosen to allocate money to faculty and salaries."
The longer professors have been at the University, the more their salaries have suffered. Associate professors are paid more competitively than their older counterparts because of competition for new faculty. Shulenburger said.
"When we recruit faculty members, all of the money comes out of the same pool, so we don't have enough money to catch up existing faculty members." he said.
Frost Mason said her college had increased its fund raising to compensate for the lack of state money.
"Senior professors aren't making more than junior professors, and they're not happy," she said. "Professors are most vulnerable at mid-career. After tenure, when their careers are booming, they only see a 2 percent increase. Other colleges call them up; professors apply, and they get a job."
Shulenburger said about 50 new faculty members were hired a year — many because their predecessors took a job at a different college that would pay them more. Professors at the University agree.
"The state of Kansas needs to see the benefit of paying me," said Cindy Larive, associate professor of biology.
The Bad News
Last year, Frost Mason said her college lost a record number of professors, and the same thing may happen again this year. She said money was one of the top three reasons professors left.
"If we pay more competitive salaries, our infrastructure suffers," Frost Mason said. "Compounded, it's not a good situation."
Leimkuhler, associate professor of mathematics, is one of Frost Mason's departing professors. He is moving to the University of Leicester in England where
Comparison of average salaries

he will receive more assistants to help him continue his research.
"The most frequent reason you leave is because you see better opportunities for developing your research," he said. "If I could have hired two more assistants with the same salary, it could have been possible for me to stay."
Even though Leimkuhler said the raise wasn't fundamental in his leaving, he needed for the University to supply him with more staff, something the University can't afford.
The package of more money and staff is very attractive. Frost Mason said.
"There isn't any good news from the legislature or the government because since they spent so much money on tax rebates, they ran into deficits, and they will have to cut the budget," she said. "It will be impossible to keep increasing salaries."
"If a department asks, CLAS responds." Frost Mason said. "We can put together packages, and sometimes we are able to keep them. We always try to stop them if we can, but it's not easy. By the time the individual has applied, they are tired of the living conditions here, or they have such a good opportunity somewhere else."
The University can try to stop professors from leaving, but it's hard.
For Leimkuhler, it was too late. He met with his department chairman, who was unable to change several factors instrumental in Leimkuhler decision to leave.
"The University has been supportive of my research and development as an assistant professor," he said. "But since I've obtained tenure, they can't support me at the level that is required."
Leimkuhler said it was conceivable that he could return to teach at the University, but when he does, he may encounter the same salary problems.
"People would stay for more money," he said. "It's a problem of morale. You get worn down after a while."
As Frost Mason said, not all teachers leave the University, even when others offer them more money.
The Good News
Larive, one of Frost Mason's professors, decided to stay even after receiving an offer from the University of Buffalo in New York. She approached her department chairman and decided to stay after getting more salary and other amenities.
Larive wanted more advanced instrumentation that would help her research. Buffalo was willing to buy her the device and also raise her salary — a package she thought the University wouldn't be able to match.
But she was wrong. Larive said the University borrowed money to buy her the $1 million instrument that enables Larive to study atoms and molecules even closer.
"A raise in salary was not enough," she said. "They could have given me two times salary, but the instrumentation was very outdated. I don't think the University has dealt with a problem of this magnitude before — I was very impressed with the ability of the University to get the money."
The process only works once though. If a professor comes to a dean for more money a second time, the University has to let them go. Frost Mason said
"Our policy is that if they come in two years in a row with another offer, we don't respond to the second one," she said. "We say congratulations and let them go. It's not 100 percent — but it's our guidelines."
Frost Mason said that she was sure professors received offers all the time but that not all responded. Frost Mason has received many, but she is dedicated to the University.
"I love KU." she said.
What the future holds
Both the chancellor and the provost have been active in persuading the Board of Regents and the legislature to increase professors' salaries at the University. Both said they called the Regents regularly to remind them of the problem.
"It will certainly cause great harm to the University if we don't reverse the salary decline," Shulenburger said. "We've sent out letters to get alumni support, and we've written letters to senators."
The Board of Regents has proposed a three-year plan to increase salaries by 7 percent each year so the University can catch up with its peers.
Shulenburger said he approached the Board of Regents with hopes of a larger increase so the University could start paying its faculty members.
"The plan is to get the money and do it again so we can be competitive," he said. "In response, the Regents said they would stick with the plan and ask for a 8 percent increase."
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said the salary problem couldn't change unless Kansas had a governor who
"Unless we get a lot of private money,we have to take the salary the legislature gives us. It's hard to change the distribution of resources. We need Bill Gates as an alum."
Burdett Loomis political science professor
made education a high priority.
Without help from the state, the chancellor is left trying to make ends meet with limited resources.
"Unless we get a lot of private money, we have to take the salary the legislature gives us," he said. "It's hard to change the distribution of resources. We need Bill Gates as an alum."
"It's a dilemma — the state's revenues haven't been projected to a number that would enable us to cure the problem," Hemenway said. "There are fiscal constraints. We need to continue to find solutions."

Weather trend continues to flirt with record highs
Warm temperatures are not indication winter will be mild
By Michael Terry
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students have taken the opportunity to play outside before they have to start studying for upcoming finals thanks to five straight days of unseasonably warm temperatures.
Steve Kays, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Topeka, said that Lawrence had experienced near-record highs because of a high pressure system that had settled across the central plains.
"The high pressure system hasn't shown any signs of giving way, and Lawrence should continue to see temperatures in the upper 60s to the low 70s well into the middle of next week."
Kays said.
He said the average temperatures for Lawrence this time of year were highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. Lawrence hasn't been within 20 degrees of that range in almost a week.
"It's important that students don't read too much into the warm temperatures," Kays said. "At this time there are no established weather trends that show this upcoming winter will be any milder then ones in years past."
Students don't seem to care why or how long the weather is warm; they are just taking advantage of it while they can.
Heather Domingue, Lake Charles, La., junior, said she had been enjoying spending time outdoors.
"It gives me a chance to come to Potter Lake with my dog, Mia, and let her play with the other dogs," Domingue said. "This weather reminds me of home and lets me be out with my dog without freezing my butt off."
"It's important that students don't read too much into the warm temperatures."

But there is at least one student who is ready for a more traditional fall.
Chris Bartley, Overland Park graduate student, said he was not pleased with the recent weather.
"I love the fall and winter seasons," Bartley said. "It's supposed to be cold and snowing in November, and I'm really disappointed that this has yet to happen."
Bartley said that he and his dog, Moose, enjoyed the cold and that they couldn't wait for the warm weather to go away.

Opossums popping up on campus for food, friends
By Todd Halstead

Kansas staff writer
When Tracy Huser got home from class, she headed straight for the trash can behind her house. What she saw next would become somewhat of a spiritual experience.
"It's not exactly what you expect to see when you go to take the trash out," the Fredonia junior said.
refuge among their refuse.
Peering from the depths of the trash can was a ghostly white face; its beady, black eyes watching her. It was an opossum.
Huser showed her roommates what she had discovered seeking
"We were going to leave him alone because we figured if he got in there by himself, he could get out by himself," she said. "So we left him overnight, and it had started raining. When we checked in there the next morning he was all freezing cold and wet."
Huser tipped the trash can over with a stick and the marsupial who had been dubbed Dicky by Huser's roommate scampered off down the alleyway. Soon after, she found a dead opossum in the ditch near her house, but Dicky has stayed with her.
"I miss him bunches, and his spirit visits me ever so often," Huser said.
What Huser saw was a common occurrence for students at the University of Kansas. It appears, however, that more opossums than usual have been spotted waddling about campus.
Jay Sexton, Salina senior, was sitting on the steps near Wesco Terrace about 11:30 a.m. when a opossum waddled past him and curled up underneath the stairs of Wesco Hall.
"He acted like he was a squirrel or something, and it was no big deal," Sexton said. "There were millions of people around."
Melany Sutherland, administrative manager of Wild Care, an animal rehabilitation unit, said the warmer weather might be a factor
in more opossum sightings,but that there were probably no more animals than usual.
"Essentially leave them alone," Sutherland said. "If you find an injured one and feel comfortable, you can contain it and call us. If you're not sure, call us, and we'll coach you through it."
Robert Timm, curator of mammals at the Natural History Museum, said as the weather cooled off at night opossums could be seen scavenging for food in the late afternoon and early morning.
"They are really abundant in Lawrence so it wouldn't surprise me that people are seeing them around campus," Timm said. "As the weather cools off, they are
more anxious to be out when it's not cool."
Timm ad opossums ate vast amounts of insects, but as winter set in, they could be seen scavenging for anything they could find.
Opossums often venture into urban areas foraging, but experts say people do not have anything to worry about.
"Possums do not carry rabies because their body temperature can't harbor the virus," Sutherland said.
She said students did not have to worry about other diseases because opossums did not usually carry diseases contagious to humans.
human hands because of a divergent toe and they have prehensile tails used for stabilization when climbing.
Opossums' hind feet resemble
They have gray or black fur, pink noses, feet and tails, black ears and pointed snouts. When threatened, an opossum bears its 50 teeth, more than any other mammal, but it usually is harmless and wishes to avoid all confrontations. Its predators include great horned owls, dogs and other animals. A possum is a languid runner and will try to escape predators by climbing trees. If attacked they often lie very still as if dead, a practice called "playing opossum."

Women's hoops to debut at home tonight F
By Melinda Weaver
sports@kansan.com
The Kansas women's basketball team will begin its season at 7:05 tonight at Allen Fieldhouse in an exhibition matchup against Club Gija Marijampole of Marijampole, Lithuania.
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas will return four starters, Lynn Pride, Brooke Reves, Jennifer Jackson and Jaclyn Johnson, from last season's team, which finished 23-10 overall and 11-5 in the Big 12 Conference. The team also will return guard Suzi Raymant and center Nikki White, who both sat
out last season with medical redshirts.
Kansas' depth this season leaves coach Marian Washington indecisive about her starting lineup.
Washington said that forward Lynn Pride, point guard Jennifer Jackson and shooting guard Suzi Raymant will definitely start and that she would probably start Brooke Reves at the other forward position and Kristin Geoffroy at center.
"Geoffroy will share minutes right away with Nikki White and Heather Fletcher," Washington said. "I am delighted with (Geoffroy's) progress. She has taken some major steps up. She has great hands. She can run the floor better. She has more confidence, and she can attack the glass."
Against Club Gija, Kansas will use the triple-post offense, known as the Triangle, for the first time. The team has had some trouble adjusting to the new system, but Washington

Club wrestling team pins down victories

Despite no funding coach or support; club is going strong
By Jason Walker

Kansan sportswriter
The University of Kansas doesn't list wrestling as one of its official sports, but that doesn't stop some students from hitting the mats.
The Kansas wrestling club team meets twice a week to practice a sport that doesn't get much respect. Few universities have space for wrestling on their varsity rosters, so many athletes wishing to continue have no choice but to join a club team.
Francisco Chacon, Liberal junior and president of the Jayhawk wrestling team, said he thought money was a big reason universities did not sponsor wrestling teams.
"It's unfair," he said. "A Division-I championship wrestling team doesn't bring in as much money as that school's basketball team. It's great, though, when schools do invest in wrestling to make it popular and give it publicity."
The Kansas club team consists of about 15 men. It placed seventh overall at the national tournament last year in Dallas. They also placed six wrestlers in the top six in several weight categories. Not bad, Chacon says, since the team doesn't even have a coach.
"We coach ourselves," he said. "It hasn't been a problem. Practice usually has a pretty relaxed atmosphere."
Chacon said the outlook for this year's team was positive, and he hoped the club would remain successful in this year's tournaments.

Jayhawks look back at season that could have been

The better Kansas plays, the more the season becomes a question of what if.
What if Kansas did not play Notre Dame, a game that it lost 48-13? That game gave the 'Hawks 12 regular-season games, and instead of needing six wins to qualify for a bowl game, they need seven — which now is mathematically impossible.
For that matter, what if the 'Hawks would've beaten Nebraska? What if they played this way the whole season? What if they could play San Diego State again?
Now, the Jayhawks are 4-6 and playing their best football of the season. So what if Kansas wouldn't have played that game?
"I think that the one game that everyone on our football team would love to play over again would be San Diego State," coach Terry Allen said. "We're actually playing a lot better now than we were a month ago."
Some of Kansas' improvement is a result of playing good teams early in the year. Ranked opponents like
Games against ranked teams — Kansas State, Texas A&M and Nebraska — and rival Missouri made for a rough four weeks, but Kansas came away with confidence.
Which makes things easier for next year's schedule. Kansas plays nonconference games against Southern Methodist, which it beat 27-9 on Oct. 2, Alabama-Birmingham, a team it has never lost to, and Southern Illinois, a Division I-AA school.
The Big 12 Conference schedule doesn't get any easier, though. Kansas rotates the Big 12 South schools that it plays every two years, replacing Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and Baylor with Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Texas. Texas is ranked 10th.
Notre Dame and Colorado smoked Kansas but prepared the Jayhawks for their rough October schedule.
And Allen maintains that having the extra game was critical to the team's current success.
"As we developed our football team, we were playing some teams that were some pretty tough competition," Allen said.

Former'Hawks good reasons to watch NBA
The ooohs and aaaahs erupting from my cozy studio and disturbing my neighbors' peace of mind have grown in frequency lately.
No, my video rental card at Priscilla's hasn't been reinstated.
It's NBA time, and each Vince Carter dunk or Jason Williams look-away pass elicits exclamations of wonder and excitement from your's truly.
A lot of people I talk to would just as soon watch a documentary about English Parliamentary procedure as watch an NBA game.
The usual complaints — the players don't play defense, there's no team concept on offense and too many fouls — are understandable, if not always warranted.
The real problem for most fans, especially around here, is that the game just doesn't measure up to college basketball in terms of intensity or identification.
There's no NBA team around here.
But what we do have, which we didn't in the past, is a host of former Kansas stars to root for and support.

Just a handful of years ago, the only Jayhawk seeing any real action in the NBA was Danny Manning (and that was only when he was healthy). Now, however, we've got enough guys to suit up a team.
Rejuvenation seems to be the theme for prominent NBA 'Hawks.
for the Jazz and Heat respectively. The frontcourt, on the other hand, would be a force to reckon with.
Paul Pierce is picking up where he left off last year for a Celtics team that is showing a little of the old franchise magic with a 3-1 start and victories against fellow comers the Toronto Raptors Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets.
Pierce is shooting just under 52 percent from the field and averaging just fewer than 19 points per game. He's more than just a scorer though, contributing 7 rebounds and 2.75 assists per game thus far.
Danny Manning is rejuvenating his career with a new team, the Milwaukee Bucks. Through three games (all wins) Manning is shooting just under 54 percent from the field and averaging 11 points per game. He's also averaging 3 steals and more than 5 boards in only about 25 minutes a game.
Raef LaFrentz is making a strong comeback from last year's knee injury. He's scoring 15 points a game on 47 percent shooting. His presence on the boards isn't where it needs to be yet, but it will improve as he gets used to banging in the paint on his repaired knee.
The role Scot Pollard carved out for himself late last year for the Sacramento Kings appears to be intact again this year. He hustles, plays defense and works the glass for about 15 minutes a game. He's an energy player, and in a five minute stretch against the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday he put together two rebounds, a steal and a tip-in on a fast break that he initiated.
Granted, Pierce may be the only Jayhawk with real star potential among those in the NBA. And, in a sad irony, the laziest former Jayhawk also is the richest — Greg Ostertag.
But it is nice to see some familiar faces when I tune in for my weekly dose of groan-inducing athletic artistry.

Taurus: Today is a 6.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
Today you might feel antsy, and you could want to take a risk. Unfortunately, that is not a good idea. Just about everything — sports, love, money — looks too shaky to bet on. Keep your money in your pocket and wait for a better time.
Something interesting is brewing. There could be a surprise, too, from a person you know well Ask a few questions, and you could find out something you never suspected. Meanwhile, keep quiet about your own secrets if you can.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
A breakdown at work could occur today, but it might be to your benefit. The work routine is disrupted, but this might be an improvement. Be careful of what you talk about and keep private things private.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Romance looks good, although there may be a change in plans. A person you've known for years might throw you a curve. This is not necessarily bad, but it's bound to be pretty interesting. Also, watch out for breakage at home.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Your romantic relationship should be going well, but something else is changing. Be careful with a project you've been working on. Some information is incorrect, so check it every step of the way.

All kinds of changes are taking place. You'll be more communicative soon, especially about things that have happened before. You may feel compelled to confess, which might cause a problem. Think about it carefully first.
LION
Although you're confident, you should also be careful. Keep your secrets to yourself awhile longer. You don't like to do that, but it's wise. If you need to confess, go to a priest. Otherwise, wait.
Pisces: Todav is an 8.

Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"It's just for violations of team policy," Slocum said. "I won't elaborate on it, but he is dismissed from the team."
The action came two days after the Aggies lost 37-0 to Nebraska, knocking Texas &M out of the top 25. Texas &M had 2 yards rushing in the game. Hall had one of them on one carry.
Hall, who had just three carries in the last five games, finishes the season with 179 yards and two touchdowns on 53 attempts. He also caught five passes for 59 vards.

Williamson, 12-7 with a 2.41 ERA and 19 saves, received 17 first-place votes, nine seconds and six thirds for 118 points from a panel of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Williamson, a starter in his first two professional seasons, was in relief during spring games and survived one cut after another. The 23-year-old right-hander throws a fastball in the upper 90s and a nasty split-finger fastball.
"I achieved a lot of goals this year that I thought would be way down the road," Williamson said.

said it had been improving steadily.
"It's not easy to learn, but I have seen some good things," Washington said. "They are coming along, and they are really starting to like it. It begins with passing, so we have spent a lot of time working on our passing. When run correctly, this offense is very hard to defend, but when run poorly, it opens us up for a lot of turnovers."
The Jayhawks have spent the week working on the offense against the zone defense that Club Gija runs. Washington said she
hoped to run the triple post against a man defense before the regular season, but she will not have that opportunity against Club Glia.
Kansas is the fifth game in Club Gija's nine-game tour in which it plays Nebraska, Iowa State, Northern Iowa, Missouri, Kansas State, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Tulsa.
Club Gija has accumulated a 1-3 record with its only victory coming against Northern Iowa, 87-71. The team has lost decisively to the other three Big 12 teams, losing 102-51 to Nebraska, 91-62 to Iowa State and 96-50 to Missouri. Club Gija played Kansas State last night.
"We just want to play good teams, but you never know, and the people who work with these teams won't tell you how good they are," Washington said. "From everything we have heard, they sit back in the zone defense, and they aren't sure with the basketball."
Pride said that the team still gained from playing in exhibition contests.
"It's great to finally play someone different in an actual game setting." Pride said. "It will be good for the freshman to get adjusted, and they will give us a different look to test out our offense."

Injuries shouldn't stand in season's way
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Bandaged and bruised, but not brutally.
That best describes the health of the Kansas basketball team so far this season.
Three significant injuries have plagued the Jayhawks during the preseason, but none appears to be bad enough to affect the regular season.
Junior transfer Luke Axtell, who already had to sit out an entire year to comply with NCAA transfer rules, broke a bone in his left hand the first week of practice.
Axtell suited up and ran through warm-up drills, but he did not play in the Jayhawks victory against
the California East All-Stars last Saturday in the team's first preseason game. He is expected to miss Saturday's second and final preseason game against Australia.
But Axtell should be ready for the season opener Nov. 19 against Fairfield at Allen Fieldhouse.
"There's no need to get too down," Axell said shortly after being injured. "It was just a freak accident, and there's nothing I can do about it."
The second injury was much scarier. Senior forward Earley tweaked his knee while running half-speed during a drill in practice last week.
An examination showed that Earl had a flare up of tendinitis, and his status was uncertain. However, Earl logged 17 minutes
in the game against the All-Stars, scored eight points, grabbed six rebounds and showed no sign of the knee bothering him. Earl struggled with knee injuries last season as well.
PETER MCKAY
"My knee's
Axelt: Probably will be back for season opener
holding up fine," Earl said after the game. "I had a good practice (Friday), and now I'm just trying to get back in the flow."
The third injury occurred late last week, also in practice.
Sophomore forward Jeff Carey sprained an ankle during drills. He was dressed in street clothes for the game with the All-Stars and was noticeably limping from the huddle to the bench during timeouts.
Carey, however, started light practicing again yesterday and should be ready for Saturday's game with Australia.
During the game, junior center Eric Chenowith al;so was hurt. He was popped in the nose with a flailing elbow from All-Stars player Tony Vicinskas and fell to the floor bleeding.
His nose will be examined later in the week, and Chenowith is not expected to miss any practices or Saturday's game.

Williams hopes to get new offense going
By Matt Tait
by mann pan
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's basketball team's much-anticipated new offense produced 124 points in its first exhibition game Saturday against the California East All-Stars.
There was, however, one catch.
The new offense was not run once.
"We didn't run the new offense at all," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "Hopefully next week we'll do a little more with it."
During the preseason, Williams said he planned to experiment with a new offense that required the Jayhawks to play with poise at a fast pace.
On Saturday night one of those two requirements came true — it was fast-paced.
Seven Jayhawks benefited from the run-and-gun nature, as they scored in double figures. And five
Jayhawks let loose with slam dunks including Kenny Gregory's four — each bringing the crowd to its feet.
Layup after dunk after steal after turnover, the Jayhawks got up and down the floor like a Kentucky or Arkansas team.
While Williams was pleased with that for the most part, the team committed 24 turnovers, something he said was unacceptable.
"It was just a rat race out there," Williams said. "And I wanted it that way. We did have a lot of mistakes, though. Forcing 28 turnovers is great, but we gave back 24."
One of the main reasons that the new offense could not be unleashed was that the California team did not play a man-to-man defense. The All-Stars played mostly zone and chase-the-ball defense, and they did not allow Kansas to settle into its man offense.
"Australia, hopefully, will play
man-to-man so we can show our offenses," sophomore point guard Jeff Boschee said.
Even though Kansas was not able to unveil its new offence, AllStars coach Phil Bryant said he thought whatever means Kansas used to rack up 124 points on his sound was effective enough.
"Kansas is loaded with athletes, and they are so deep," Bryant said. "If 10 teams are better than them, I would hate to have to play them."
The 10 teams that Bryant alluded to are those ranked higher than Kansas in the preseason ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll. The Jayhawks are ranked 11th.
Williams said that he planned to install more of the offense this week during practice, and he would stress defense and getting people into the right spots at the right times.
Boschee said that Williams addressed the defensive angle immediately following the game, and he realized that the team must

work on the basics.
"I think I would have to give us a B+," Boschee said of the Jayhawks' exhibition performance. "Overall, I think we did a great job, but we still have things we need to work on, like our full-court trap and fundamentals."
Kansas will conclude its presseason at 7:05 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse against the Geelong Supercats, a professional team from Australia that won the 1999 Australian Basketball Association championship.

Swimming and diving start strong, but fade
By Jason Walker sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
The Kansas women's swimming and diving teams got off to fast starts this weekend at the Dual Meet Extravaganza at Illinois but faded on the last day of competition.
Kansas swimming and diving coach Gary Kempf said that he saw a lot of things he liked but that the women came out flat on Sunday morning.
"I didn't do a good job of getting them ready," he said. "They just flat out weren't ready to go. They didn't swim with the emotion that they should have."
Friday, the Jayhawk women's swimmers opened by taking the top two places in six of the first seven races. Sophomore Sarah Holke set a season-best time in the 100 butterfly, while senior Kelly Brock, junior Carolyn Grevers, sophomore Carolyn Horowitz and freshmen Gwen Haley and Julie Otmar all touched the wall first in their respective races.
The Jayahwk women divers dominated Friday as well. Senior captain Kerri Pribyl won the one-meter while sophomore Rebecca McFall and freshman Kristie Miseika finished second and third respectively.
The Jayhawks also got good per formances from two freshmen swimmers. Lyndsey DeVaney won the 500 freestyle and the 1000 freestyle by nearly 13 seconds and captured two individual victories during Sunday's losses. Haley posted the fourth-fastest time in school history in the 400 individual medley on Saturday and also won the 500 freestyle. Sunday, she won the 200 individual medley capping off an impressive weekend.
KU SWIMMING
"They just didn't have that killer
me?" he said. "They did't fight."
Kempf also said that he was pleased with the first two days but that the team needed to tie everything together on the last day.
Rebecca Eustice, senior women's swimming captain, said that the women simply were worn out after two days of competition.
"We went in Sunday really tired," she said. "No one was really excited at all."
Eustice said she thought overall the meet was a good way to start the year, but they needed to practice improving their energy levels.
"There were a lot of good things," she said. "We had some good relays and swims by freshmen. We know that we have a lot of potential, and if we can get everything in line, we can be really good."
The Kansas men's swimmers and divers finished the meet 0-2 after losses to eventual champion Missouri and to Southern Illinois. The Jayhawks kept the matches close but came up short in the end.
"Jason Carr had a great weekend," Kempf said. "And Jon Reyes had one of his best meets in a long time."
Kempf said the men's team's problem was short of swimmers.
"We have some weak spots that someone has to step into," he said. "We just weren't able to compete relay-wise."
The next competition for the Jayhawks men's and women's swimming and diving teams is Nov. 19 at the Northwestern Invitational in Evanston, Ill.

Wrestling club team sets national goals despite lack of coach
Continued from page 1B
"We love to see kids place," he said. "But it's getting tough with more schools bringing teams to the matches."
Marc Miller, Eligin, Ill., sophomore, took sixth place in national competition last year. He said that although he placed at nationals, he hoped to do better this year.
"It was good experience, but I'm sure I can do better," he said. "I'll have more experience and hopefully can develop a better style."
Miller said that he thinks this year's team has potential but that they will have to work hard to achieve success at tournaments.
"We could do really good, but we have to practice a lot closer to regionals," he said. "We are trying to go to some tournaments to get practice and experience."
Chacon said that he was trying to set up some tournaments for this fall, possibly in St. Louis or Hays.
"There's some good competition there," he said.
"We want to go to tournaments where we can get a lot of kids entered to prepare for the nationals."
Chacon also said that he invited anyone interested to come to wrestling practice. He said that the club was a good chance for students to get to go on trips and compete against other college students without making a huge commitment.
"The trips are a great time," he said. "And the club is really laid-back. It's good if you like wrestling but don't want to practice like crazy. You can just come out, stay in shape, and maybe lose some weight."
Miller said he had never wrestled before he came to college, but he was still able to place at nationals. He said he would encourage students to join the club because of the fun times he had experienced since he joined.
"A lot of guys come out and have a really good time," he said. "It's not as serious as high school. It's fun, and it keeps you in shape."
The wrestling team practices every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:30 p.m. at 207 Robinson. Anyone interested can stop by practice or call Chacon at 832-0378.

Stress
Body's natural responses to pressure can hurt health but lifestyle changes help
Story by Melinda Weaver Illustration by Kyle Ramsey
Two papers to write, a midterm to take and a project to finish all in the same week.
The dread when an intramural basketball game or a job eat up even more time.
Brim Carrison, Beatrice, Neb., senior, knows the feeling. Her sophomore year she decided to try balancing 16 hours of classes with Student Senate, several Greek groups and sorority formals and fund-raisers.
Carlson soon discovered the lesson thousands of college students learn every semester: Too much stress can make you sick.
Stress is a disease that can cause illnesses as simple as a cold or as painful as an ulcer, can add extra pounds or can trigger migraines. But if students learn to deal with the problem at a young age, they can prevent severe problems later in life, local health specialists say.

Carlson learned the hard way.
"I was on campus all day for classes, and then I would go to meetings all evening," she said. "I wouldn't get home to study until about 11, and then I was studying until 3 or 4 in the morning. That was one of the stupidest things I have ever done. It was all a way too much for me."
Carlson came down with stress-related mononucleosis that knocked her college life for a loop. She could attend classes, but she fell behind in her work and had to drop most of her activities.
Mono, which results in overwhelming fatigue, swollen glands and other flu-like symptoms, is one of the more debilitating

Fireworks may fly for New Year's Eve if city approves plan
By Derek Prater
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Douglas County Commission is considering adding some bang to the upcoming Year 2000 celebration.
At tonight's commission meeting, commissioners will discuss authorizing the sale of fireworks for up to five days prior to Jan. 1.
Keith Dabney, director of building and codes for Douglas County, said the momentous nature of this New Year's Eve probably would persuade commissioners to approve the sale of fireworks.
"You're talking about a once in a lifetime situation here, and I don't see how you could say no." he said.
Audrey McKanna, Overland Park junior, said she thought fireworks should be available for New Year's Eve.
"I think it would be wonderful," she said. "I love pyrotechnics."
County officials decided to consider fireworks sales for New Year's Eve after the state Senate passed a bill that gave individual counties the power to authorize such sales, Dabney said.
Gary Bartz, owner of Don's Steakhouse, 2176 E. 23rd St., and Bartz Brothers Fireworks, said surrounding counties, such as Jefferson and Franklin counties, already had authorized the sale of fireworks for the New Year's celebration.
Bartz said that he had received many inquiries about
"You're talking about a once in a lifetime situation here, and I don't see how you could say no."
Keith Dabney
director for building and codes for Douglas County
whether he would be selling fireworks for New Year's, but wasn't sure just how big the demand would be.
"We don't know what to do as far as ordering is concerned," he said. "It's going to be real limited as to what's available."
Bartz said he wouldn't stock as many types of fireworks as he does for the Fourth of July because the cold probably would keep people indoors.
Jocelyn Pearson, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said shooting off fireworks on New Year's Eve was a tradition in her family.
"They sell them in Missouri every year, and I always shoot off Black Cats in my backyard," she said.
Dabney said if the commissioners decided they wanted to authorize fireworks sales, they would direct county staff to draft an ordinance for the commission to vote on at a later meeting.
The specifics of when and how sales would be allowed and when fireworks could be lit remain to be determined.

Committee to redefine rights to intellectual work
By Nathan Willis
Kansan staff writer
The coming of the Internet age has forced the University of Kansas to rethink how it defines ownership of information produced by its professors and students.
Intellectual property was a term that used to apply primarily to researchers who obtained patents, said Provost David Shulenburger.
But no more. With the advent of the World Wide Web, suddenly almost anybody at the University — students included — is capable of producing intellectual property and publishing it on the Web, said Robert Vodicka, a San Diego graduate student on the committee that is studying recommendations for a new University intellectual property policy.
"Students are creating intellectual property all the time," Vodicka said. "If they write a paper, that's intellectual property. Now the central question is, who has control over it?"
Because it must be similar to the Regents' policy, the University's new policy probably will consider intellectual property the domain of the person who created it unless a contract is signed beforehand specifically stating that the intellectual property will be the property of the University, Shulenburger said.
For now, it's the individual who created it, not the University in most cases. Shulenburger said. The University currently is operating under an interim policy from the Board of Regents until it can get its new policy hammered out, he said.
That means that in most cases, the University can't use intellectual
"Students are creating intellectual property all the time. If they write a paper,that's intellectual property. Now the central question is,who has control over it?"

property for its own purposes unless it gets permission from the creator.
New to this policy will be clauses regarding students, Shulenburger said. Never before has there been a formal written policy spelling out the rights students have to the intellectual policy they produce, Shulenburger said, although students generally were considered to have the rights to the property they produced.
Beyond those basic components of the policy, however, many details still have to be worked out, said Ed Meyen, professor of special education and chairman of the intellectual property policy committee. It's a long, time-consuming process of sending drafts to the Senate Executive Committee, which is in charge of the committee, taking suggestions and making revisions, he said.
"This is an important process, and we're taking advantage of the time that we have," Meyen said. "It's a very evolutionary process."
Jim Carothers, SenEx chairman, said SenEx hoped to have a policy ready for approval by the end of the academic year.

Two students injured in collisions near campus
Four University of Kansas students were involved in two separate collisions yesterday near campus.
A KU student remained in fair condition last night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was taken shortly after he was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle.
Charles Fenech, Neodesha sophomore, was traveling west on 15th Street on a 1987 Yamaha motorcycle when Samuel Urbanek, Emmett freshman, pulled out in front of him in a 1989 Chevy Celebrity. The accident occurred at 1:30 p.m. at the intersection of 15th Street and Engel Road, the Lawrence Police Department said.
Urbanek, who was stopped at the stop sign located at the intersection, told police that he did not see Fenech when he began to pull on to 15th Street.
Fenech struck the back of Urbanek's car and was thrown from his motorcycle, police said.
Last year, Student Senate targeted this intersection to make it safer for students and drivers to cross. While there were discussions of a possible four-way stop, earlier this year, a 20 mph sim was added.
A separate accident involving two more KU students also occurred yesterday near the KU campus.
At about 4 p.m., Qinghong Cai, Lawrence graduate student, was hit by a car while attempting to cross the street at the intersection of Naismith Drive and Sunnyside Avenue. The car was driven by Derek Nicholson. Topeka freshman.
Cai was treated for minor injuries and refused to be transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for further treatment. Nicholson was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk and then released.
This is the first incident reported this semester in which a student has been hit by a car while near campus.

Jewish women, living basis for new group
KU Hillel is forming a women's group.
"It's good to get in activities supporting Jewish women living in the modern world." Rich said.
Julia Rich, Overland Park sophomore, is heading the Jewish women's group.
She said the group would not be exclusive to women. Men were invited, too, she said. The group will be open to topics such as body image, Jewish life, sexuality and politics and could include spiritual Rosh Chodesh programs.
Rosh Chodesh, the first day of the Jewish month, has become a women's holiday. Traditionally, women refrain from their usual work on this day.
Rich said issues of Judaism also would be discussed and clarified.
"There are certain things you have to live by," she said. "With the Orthodox Jews, when a woman gets married, she shaves her hair. Many don't understand the reasons for that."
The group met for the first time last night at Hillel House, 940 Mississippi St.

Holocaust documentary to be shown at Union
KU Hilille will sponsor the showing of a film about the Holocaust at 7 tonight at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.
The Last Days is a documentary by Steven Spielberg about Hungarian Jews. Their story is told by five survivors who go back to their hometowns and share their stories.
The film is being shown in honor of Kristalnacht, or the night of broken glass. On this day in 1938, the Nazis planned acts of violence against Jews. They smashed the windows of Jewish shops, synagogues and homes.
Judy Jacobs, a Holocaust survivor originally from Budapest, Hungary, will speak Nov. 17 at the Kansas Union.

World War I is topic of University Forum
World War I, also known as the "Great War" by many scholars, will be discussed at today's University Forum at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
Richard Ring, Watson librarian, will discuss several recent books and try
to identify trends in World War I scholarship, said Thad Holcombe, pastor at the ECM.
"Each year, dozens of new books on World War I appear — histories, biographies, memoirs, guides to the battlefields and studies on the cultural and social influence of the war," Holcombe said. "Ring will also emphasize the collections in the KU libraries on the Great War."
For the last 20 years, Ring has been a bibliographer of European history and also has brought in a large number of World War I books for the libraries. He also has published a study of women in the Great War.
"Back to the Front: New Ways of Looking at WWI" is a free and begins at noon.

Commission designates more no parking zones
LAWRENCE
Last night at the Lawrence City Commission meeting, commissioners passed an ordinance that establishes no parking along the south side of West 22nd Street east of the property line of 3205 W. 22nd St. and along the west side of 22nd Court.
They also passed an ordinance that establishes no parking from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday along the south side of 22nd Street from Kasold Drive to the east property line of 3205 W. 22nd St. and along the east side of 22nd Court.
The ordinances were brought before the commission with a unanimous recommendation from the Traffic Safety Commission.
Mayor Env Hodges said the street had become a de facto park-and-ride location and had caused growing
problems for residents in the area.
Charles Hoffman, who lives at 3205 W. 22nd St., said he thought the no parking change would make the street safer for residents. He said that there wasn't enough room for both parking and bus traffic.
KU on Wheels buses pick up students at 22nd Street and Heatherwood Drive. A significant number of students live in apartment complexes in the area.
David Woosley, city traffic engineer, said that no parking signs would go up within a couple of weeks after the commission adopted the ordinances on second reading, which it did last night.

Board of Education runs into copyright problems
TOPEKA— Education Commissioner Andy Tompkins said yesterday his department was close to resolving copyright problems with science testing standards that de-emphasize evolution.
During a break at the State Board of Education's monthly meeting, Tompkins said he hoped the board would be able to vote on the revised standards next month.
Three Department of Education staffers and a science teacher are rewriting the standards so they don't violate copyright law.
"We're close," Tompkins said. "We've tried to rephrase it."
Board chairwoman Linda Holloway, of Shawnee, said she's not sure the standards would be ready in time for the Dec. 7 to 8 meeting.
In September, the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science said the board couldn't use their materials because the new standards didn't reflect their goal of advancing science education.
In August, the board approved the new standards, which leave it up to local school boards to decide how science should be taught in their schools. The standards are meant to help teachers decide what to teach, and provide the basis for statewide assessment tests.
Supporters of the board's decision say it reinforces the authority of local districts to decide what goes into lesson plans.
Critics fear that many schools will adjust their lesson plans to avoid subjects that won't be part of the new tests.

Jackson, whose protests led officials to close Decatur's three public high schools for safety reasons for a second day yesterday, called the charges "attacks on these students."
Jesse Jackson supports expelled students
DECATUR, Ill.—Felony charges were filed yesterday against four teen-age boys for a brawl at a high school football game that led to expulsions and brought the Rev. Jesse Jackson to town.
The Associated Press
"It'll only make matters worse." Jackson said. "They are trying to criminalize these youths to justify themselves."
While the expelled students are all African American, Jackson has said fairness is more at issue than race.
The four boys were all charged with mob
action, a felony. One was also charged with felony aggravated battery and resisting a police officer, a misdemeanor.
Two of those charged with mob action were among six high school students expelled after the Sept. 17 fracas in the bleachers at Eisenhower High School, which Jackson has characterized as a simple fistfight, but school officials called a melee.
Another boy withdrew from school before he could be expelled, and the fourth boy was not a student at the time of the fight, school officials said.
Meanwhile, an attorney for six students involved in the fight asked a federal judge to order the district to reinstate immediately them.

Officers issue alert to curb problem

During the last three weeks, a series of false fire alarms have occurred throughout the University of Kansas, putting the campus on alert.
"Between 11:15 p.m. Oct. 22 and 2:35 a.m. Oct. 30, four pulls stations were activated causing the evacuation of McColum Hall and the dispatch of Lawrence and Douglas County Fire and Medical units." Bailey said.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said last week that his office issued a crime alert to aid the investigation into the false alarms and uncover possible suspects.
Sgt. Troy Maileen of the KU Public Safety Office said it was standard procedure when a fire alarm was activated to dispatch the fire and medical units to the scene.
Malott Hall had a false alarm Monday evening, and there was another at Dole Human Development Center Nov. 3 at 1:20 p.m.
mann said an unknown individual activated the alarm located on the second floor of Dole for no apparent reason, causing the evacuation of the building for more than 30 minutes. It took 20 minutes for the emergency units to arrive on the scene.

Some KU students hooked on caffeine highs

It's one of college students' favorite drugs.
It's so common, most students do it at least two to three times a day. It can be bought anywhere and campus vendors even have been known to give it out for free. Students may be taking it without even knowing. The drug is caffeine, found in many foods, drinks and non-prescription drugs. Its "high" brings about increased alertness and improvements in motor performance and muscular endurance.
"I if have a big test the next day and I need to stay up studying, I'll make a big cup of coffee and stay up for it," said Luke Bauer, Hutchinson sophomore. "If you drink enough of it, you can get a caffeine buzz and stay awake."
More than 80 percent of Americans consume about 235 milligrams of caffeine each day, the equivalent of 2 to 3 cups of coffee. A 50 to 200 milligram dose results in increased alertness, body temperature and blood pressure, and decrease in appetite. Higher doses can cause nervousness, irritability, diarrhea, difficulty concentrating and insomnia.
Jay Holley, Topeka senior, said he drank about four
CAFFEINE DOSES (MEASURED IN MILLIGRAMS)
Brewed or dripped cup of coffee — 115-175
Instant coffee — 65-100
Tea — 30-70
Cola — 37-54
Dark chocolate (1 oz.) — 20
Nodoz — 100
Vivarin — 200

cans of Mountain Dew a day and occasionally coffee.
"I usually don't notice anything on soda unless I'm trying to go to sleep, but I can't," Holley said. "I purposely don't drink caffeine anymore before going to bed."
Defining how much caffeine is too much depends on the person, said Ann Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health Center dietitian. Some people can consume a high dose of caffeine and see few symptoms.
"It's a drug, so you develop tolerance to the drug and need larger amounts of it to see an effect," Chapman said.
Although a high caffeine intake may be linked with
diseases such as heart disease, there is no clinical evidence of significant long-term health risks of caffeine consumption.
According to the American Psychiatric Association, caffeine overdose can be very unpleasant. Death is possible if an extreme amount of caffeine, the equivalent of 80 cups of coffee, is consumed.
Caffeine is found in significant doses in coffee, tea, soft drinks and chocolate. A cup of brewed coffee generally contains 80 to 135 milligrams of caffeine. A 12 oz. can of Mountain Dew has 54 milligrams.
However, Chapman said caffeine could be hidden in other sources. Ben & Jerry's coffee fudge ice cream, for example, contains 80 milligrams of caffeine. A cup of chocolate frozen yogurt contains 40 milligrams.
Many non-prescription drugs are also high in caffeine. Excedrin contains 65 milligrams and Midol contains 33. Vivarin and Dexatrim both have 200 milligrams.
Although a "caffeine addiction" is easy to stop, unlike addiction to other drugs, withdrawal may cause side effects. Caffeine withdrawal may cause headaches or stomach sicknesses.
"The advice of experts is always to wean yourself," Chapman said, recommending people cut their intake in half for a week at a time.

Media committee may be abolished

SENATE
A disputed Student Senate subcommittee could face a legislative guillotine if Senate passes a bill abolishing the Alternative Media subcommittee tonight.
The committee helps registered student organizations receive money from Senate for their publications.
Drew Thompson, Nunemaker senator and legislation sponsor, said the subcommittee originally was created to get money for publications that typically would not be eligible for Senate

"If they want to get funded, they should go through the usual processes rather than using some backdoor tactic," Saul said.
That process, he said, would be to go through the line-item allocation process for each fiscal year. Kiosk, a literary magazine at the University of Kansas, goes through several periods.

approve to money. "In effect, it's like censoring other forms of media," she said. "We should make all forms of media that are student-run eligible for money."
Erin Simpson, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said the subcommittee gave publications a chance to get off the ground.
"It's a great way for groups without a defined readership to get starter money," she said. "That way, they can get the word out, build a readership and sell advertising."
The subcommittee's origins go back to 1995. It was created after two student publications, *Pinch* and *Who'sinations*, were denied funding. *Pinch*, a satirical magazine, had received funds for six consecutive fiscal years, with allocations ranging from $822 in 1989 to $3,650 in 1994.

In other business, Senate will consider bills to:
consider bits to:
• Amend the University's racial and ethnic harassment policy.
• Require student senators to be enrolled in at least one credit hour on either the University's Lawrence or Edwards campuses.
• Restructure the process through which six student organizations receive money.
• Allocate $2,828 to four student organizations.
media such as Pinch to access money raised from the Student Media fee. Amy Hizer, a former student senator, sponsored the bill to create the Alternative Media subcommittee, giving other publications another route to get the funding they could not raise through advertising and audience support.
But that, Thompson said, was exactly the problem. He said Senate shouldn't spend thousands of dollars on publications such as Pinch if they had a narrow audience and couldn't sell sufficient advertising to support themselves.
Thompson also said the subcommittee had been too inactive. The only publication it helped fund this year was Kaw Valley Independent, which received $4,754.
"The basic premise of alternative media is bogus," Thompson said. "If they're truly student-worthy, they should be able to support themselves."
The meeting will begin at 7 tonight at the cafeteria in Naismith Hall.

Society too easily ignores needs of country's impoverished families
In 1996, 20.5 percent of U.S. children were living in poverty, according to a Census Bureau report released last week. The standard income used by the bureau to recognize poverty was $16,036 per year or less for a family of four. (It should be noted that this income did not include personal government subsidies.) We think that one in five children living in such conditions, even when potential welfare is added into the equation, simply is not acceptable.
Regardless of the ideological direction of the remedies for this problem, something must be done. We cannot continue to celebrate our current good fortune while so many are excluded from it. Whether you support government programs to ease the situation or private activities, we as a nation must act.
This country celebrates good fortune while 20.5 percent of its children live in poverty
Although much effort and personal discipline contribute to an individual's success, it is also likely that good luck plays a role. This luck may come in the form of being born into a dominant social group or living in an area with high economic growth. This reality of chance is compounded for children. As the saying goes, you can't choose your parents.
A compassionate society must recognize the need to help the less fortunate. We each must see that we, too, could fall on hard times and that our children would suffer from this. By creating various mechanisms to help poor children, we provide security for our own.
By taking immediate steps to aid impoverished children, the privileged class also will be helping itself in other ways. For example, it is well documented that children raised in poverty are more likely to commit crimes than those who were not. Thus, by easing their current impoverishment, we would be protecting society from future abuses.
This is a complicated issue, and it is one which this editorial has perhaps oversimplified. Nonetheless, the fact that something must be done about child poverty remains clear. Whatever the means, the end must be an improvement of our current situation.

Wanted: worthy man without alcohol crutch
Perspective
My roommate — we'll call her Janielle — has an incredible personality. She's hilarious, rambunctious and spunky. Giving. Caring. She's determined to be a marine biologist even though she's from Kansas. The lack of an ocean can't thwart her dreams. She's emotional but strong. She makes
onal but strong. She bakes cookies on Sundays.
P
Janielle also happens to be beautiful. She has huge, brown eyes and dark, shiny hair. She has fair skin. Straight teeth. Hygiene to boot. Long eyelashes. Cute little hands and feet. Voluptuous curves. I mean, eye-poppingly voluptuous.

Janielle can't get a date.
She doesn't stink or anything. She doesn't even have any annoying habits, really. Well, sometimes she smacks her gum. But it seems as
though lots of gals and guys with much larger obstacles, such as long toenails or criminal records, are landing romantic attachments left and right. So what's the problem here?
Janielle doesn't drink alcohol.
Let's all ponder that. Yes, a student who doesn't drink — at the eighth biggest party school in the universe or whatever they say. It's more common than you think. In fact, most of her friends don't drink either.
So, what does alcohol have to do with dating? Too much, I think. There was a *Seinfeld* episode once that touched on the subject.
Jerry: What percent of the population do you think is datable?
Jerry: No way. More like five. I mean, have you been to the driver's license bureau?
Elaine: So, if only five percent of people are dating material, how are all these people hooking up?
Jerry: Alcohol (laugh track)
Burry. McCormack (a biracial author)
Basically, drinking is an essential element in the blossoming of the average couple. First, there is booze on the first date to ease the tension. Next, inebriation often leads to sexual intimacy because a) alcohol tends to make people more brazen and b) drunk people usually are horny. Alcohol is a common factor in the couple's social outings — parties, nightclubs and the like. Actually, alcohol often becomes the demise of those very relationships because of the actions it's been known to cause — yelling hasty words, cheating and drug use. That's a whole other issue though. When focusing on the "getting together" step of the dating mess, one can see how hard it would be for a nondrinker to find her soul mate when everyone's hitin' the hooch so hard.
Janielle has a lot to offer. She is one of the best people I know, and I wish she could find a partner who has the courage to bond with another human being without getting hammered. I mean, what would you possibly do? TALK? GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER? Dating is a difficult enough challenge for anyone; it's virtually impossible when you won't play the alcohol game.
In fact, Janielle has had a number of prospects since she left her first big relationship about a year ago. But they never worked out. Even if the guys aren't initially alienated by her sobriety, she is alienated at the prospect of being his designated driver on their first date.
I myself am lucky enough to have found someone with ideas similar to my own. Now I hope some nice young gent will call my roommate. The four of us can make it a Blockbuster night and have fun being the bunch of bachelor dorks that we are.
I'll drink to that.
Searching for a soul mate, dreaming of completeness
Smarsh is a a Kingman sophomore in English.
What is the nature of the complex entity called human? What, if anything, will make us happy or content in this turbulent world? And what exactly defines the good life? After centuries of philosophical discussions and scientific inventions, the answers remain as complex and elusive as ever.
Can wealth, success and a high-profile job make us happy and content? I don't think so, unless we can share it with a special someone. What is more beautiful and pure than the merging of two hearts into a complete whole?
To find that special love and sense of oneness, I think, is the truest and purest feeling and miracle we can hope for in this world. It is easy to dream and chase the stars, but, unfortunately, reality is much more complex. The more we twist and turn amongst the world's hardships, the more unattainable and elusive the search for our soul mate may seem.
But the key is to keep our hopes and dreams alive. However independent or strong one is, I believe deep

down we all have a fear of loneliness and a need to be loved.
But where is our "one" and when exactly, if ever, will fate cross our paths? We all know how hard it is to find a fulfilling relationship. We seem to be eternally trapped in an endless maze of dating rituals, two-faced pretensions and unspoken thoughts. Just think of the many schoolmates, coworkers and strangers you run into every day; opportunities come and go and the world's random beat goes on.
But, what can we do? We can not read people's thoughts or break down the masks and barriers they put on for the world. Wouldn't it be great to truly know what someone thinks of you? How free and liberating you would feel from the vicious circle you create from what you believe others see you as. Good or bad, true or false, you would simply know it.
Wouldn't it be a dream if we could all lift up the curtain and breakdown the barriers of the way we present ourselves to the world? We will do it whether we wish to deceive and take advantage of someone or simply because of the limitations we either have or feel we have. But, of course, to wish for a world devoid of these is pretty unrealistic and futile.
The world is full of misery, hardships and barriers and the more we search for our soul mate, the more disillusioned we may get. But by relying on honesty and simplicity as our pillars of strength, we need to strive toward making our dreams our reality.
If honesty, simplicity and truth were the main guiding lights we lived by, I guess they would not call it earth anymore. However, despite the obstacles and hardships, honesty and simplicity are the keys by which we can hopefully find our other half. As Jewel, the popular singer, states in one of her songs: "What is simple, is true."
In the words of *Ally McBeal's* John Cage: "The world is no longer a romantic place. Some of its people are; however, and there lies the promise. Don't let the world win, Ally McBeal." As we continue to wish on the stars, hopefully some day they will smile back at us and hand-in-hand with our earthly angel we could make pure, sweet melodies.

Feedback
Cuba policy not about democracy
In response to the recent editorial about Cuba, I want to comment that while the embargo imposed by the United States is obsolete and might even go against international law, it is not true that it was implemented with the intention of promoting respect for liberal democratic values. In fact, anyone minimally acquainted with the historical record knows the embargo (or blockade) was a measure designed to protect the property of large landowners and agroindustrialists and, above all, to deter any other country in the region seeking a greater degree of self-determination.
The editorial board's position implicitly presents the embargo as if it was a well-meant, disinterested but not wise policy by a freedom loving government. This idea is very common but misleading, given the fact that the U.S. government has been very prone to support, tacitly or actively, several right-wing dictatorial regimes in the past.
The main driving forces of foreign policy are not ethical or atruiscal but political and economic interests. Those are the way of real politics in our world—and I am not saying it should be otherwise (that is another issue). Of course all this may sound a little cliché, but I have to say it because I am tired of constantly finding smart American college students that are so fantastically naive. Perhaps it has to do with the extraordinary strength of certain myths in this country. The media contributes greatly to distort reality, probably not always out of bad faith but because they are just as blinded by myths and ideology as those who had vested interest in perpetuating this state of
Examples abound; the Somozas in Nicaragua, Franco in Spain, Batista in Cuba and, above all, Pinochein in Chile, whose rise to power owes a great deal to the tireless campaign waged by the CIA for a period of three years.

affairs. This may be a universal problem, but just to make a comparison, the British seem to be a lot more realistic: Margaret Thatcher, Lord Lamont and the Tories are unapologetically in favor of Pinochet's release, whom they consider the "only political prisoner in the UK" and a victim of a "judicial kidnap" (Thatcher). Of course, Kissinger thinks likewise; the difference is that these things are not commonly published here. For instance, a few months back, certain journalist from New York obtained the documents telling about a meeting of Pinochet and Kissinger in Santiago and made an elaborate interpretation of the meaning of this interview. She sent it to major newspapers and political magazines in the U.S. (The Nation, The New York Times), and nobody published it. She sent it to El Pais, in Spain, and The Guardian in London, and her story got published the very next day.

Haskell group calls Web site biased
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A teaching tool for a University of Kansas class in public planning has drawn fire from Haskell Indian Nations University students and faculty who think it gives a biased view of issues surrounding the South Lawrence Trafficway.
Last week, the Wetlands Preservation Organization, a student group opposed to the trafficway, sent an e-mail to KU officials concerning a case study of the trafficway on a Web site http://raven.cc.ukans.edu/-kupa /Truman/truman.htm, maintained by the Department of
Public Administration.
the trafficway, which was designed to relieve congestion on 23rd Street, was blocked from completion last month by the Haskell Board of Regents because of concerns about the effects it would have on Haskell lands.
The site presents information about the public policy that guided the development of the trafficway. Chuck Haines, professor of biology at Haskell and sponsor of the Wetlands Preservation Organization, said that the Web site provided a one-sided presentation of the issues involved in the trafficway and that a number of photographs on the site should be removed because they were areas sacred to Native Americans.
In particular, photos of the sweat lodge and a prayer ceremony are not accompanied with the appropriate text to explain their significance. Haines said.
Haines offered to help make the site more complete.
The case study is used as part of the curriculum for Political Science 331, a public administration class.
John Nalbandian, professor of public administration and creator of the case study, said he had received the complaint.
"I have made a few changes to indicate that the Web site is not meant to be authoritative or comprehensive," he said.
Nalbandian said that he did not plan to incorporate input from the
Wetlands Organization.
Preservation
Liza Pehrson, Chinook, Mont., sophomore, is a student in the class and said the case study was helpful.
Pehrson spoke to Haines to gather more information on the trafficway and said she understood the concerns of the Wetlands Preservation Organization.
"It's important to take something away from the whole situation and learn from the mistakes that were made, particularly in terms of cross-cultural negotiations," she said.
"Until I talked to him recently, I didn't realize how important those issues are." Pehrson said.

Creationists question use of KU textbook
By Jim O'Malley
Special to the Kansan
A University of Kansas textbook became an issue in last Thursday's debate at Washburn University.
The debate was supposed to be about the State Board of Education's removal of evolution from the state's education standards. But three advocates of intelligent design from the Discovery Institute in Seattle raised other issues including whether a KU biology textbook ruled out a divine creator.
Microbiologist and theologian Jonathan Wells, philosopher Stephen C. Meyer, and Gonzaga University law professor David DeWolf said evidence for Darwinism was weak and students should be taught both intelligent design and natural selection.
Board member Steve Abrams was the only debater who defended the Board's decision.
On the other side were board member Bill Wagnon, Tim Miller, KU professor of religious studies, John R. Staver, professor of science education at Kansas State University, and First Amendment scholar Robert M. O'Neil from the University of Vireinia.
Staver said intelligent design
Staver said in was a supernatural explanation outside the realm of science. Meyer and Wells said that intelligent design was not a supernatural

explanation but an inference from evidence in the natural world.
They conceded that it had religious implications, but evolutionary theory did too. Wells said it was blatant viewpoint discrimination to exclude design from classrooms.
About two-thirds of the crowd of 700 to 800 applauded this statement, and continued to applaud points made by design advocates.
Wells quoted from Douglas Futuyma's "Evolutionary Biology," which is used as a textbook at the University.
The book says that under Darwin's theory, "biological phenomena, including those seemingly designed, can be explained by purely natural causes rather than by divine creation."
Wells argued that this said Darwinism ruled out a divine creator.
Board member Wagnon disagree.
"The textbook did not say that God didn't exist," he said. "It said that God was unnecessary for understanding evolution."
The textbook also says that although evolution conflicts with a literal interpretation of the Bible, it does not deny the existence of God.
According to Futuyma, science cannot investigate the supernatural and neither affirms nor denies it.
"On these questions, science, including evolutionary biology, is silent." Futuyma wrote.
Saver gave personal testimony that science did not deny the existence of God.
"I have no conflict between God and science." he said.
Miller said intelligent design was the first step toward introducing religion into science classes. He said he found it troubling that one of the funding sources of the Discovery Institute supported Biblical slavery.
The Institute Scholars said this was untrue.
However, one the Institute's major donors also supports an organization with extreme religious views.
O'Neil said the Board's action violated the First Amendment because the history of the controversy suggested that the board's motivation was religious, not scientific.

Germans remember Berlin Wall's fall
Historic event's anniversary celebrated amid separation
The Associated Press
BERLIN—Germans marked the 10th anniversary yesterday of the night that changed the world: when the Berlin Wall came tumbling down and jubilant residents from East and West, separated for decades by the Cold War, joined to celebrate its demise.
Although Nov. 9 is not a national holiday — meaning Germans still have to go to work and school — officials were expecting up to 100,000 revelers to join evening celebrations at stages set up along the former death strip that once split East and West Berlin.
"What a wonderful time: East Germans freeing themselves, the start toward unity, the overcoming of the East-West confrontation, the fall of the Wall," parliamentary president Wolfgang Thierse told lawmakers and invited guests — including former world leaders George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev, at an afternoon ceremony on the Reichstag on live national television.
Former Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who united Germany in 1890, called it a time of great fortune for
Germans at the end of a century marked by the great catastrophes of two world wars and the atrocities committed against many people in the name of Germany.
"We should treat unity as a gift and a chance for the future," he said.
But all too often since then, Germans have focused on their enduring differences. Yesterday's celebrations also were meant to bring easterners and westerners together in a show of unity not seen since that jubilant night 10 years ago when Berliners chipped away at the reviled Wall.
The festivities last night got off to a slow start as darkness fell in a steady drizzle.
Several thousand people gathered at the Brandenburg Gate, where a jazz band played on the stage set up on brightly lit Pariser Platz.
Not far away, a couple wiped tears from their eyes as they watched a film about the Wall's collapse being projected onto a building at the former site of Checkpoint Charlie, the famed east-west crossing.
Official observances began with a religious service in central Berlin and a ceremony at City Hall in the heart of former East Berlin.
"For a few moments, Berlin was the center of the world," Mayor Eberhard Diepgen said at City Hall, recalling images of euphoric East Berliners streaming through the Wall, welcomed by their western neighbors. "These pictures of joy are something we should remember as a foundation for the future."
There were, however, further reminders yesterday of the tangible differences that remain between eastern and western Germany.
Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder acknowledged in parliament that much work remained to be done. "We do know that, together, we can make it." he said.
Opposition lawmakers seized on the figures to question the government's commitment to improving the living standards of easterners.
The latest unemployment data showed improvement in the west, to 8.2 percent in October, while the rate in the formerly communist, still-struggling east worsened to 16.9 percent.
Rock, folk and classical musicians will perform on five stages in former "no man's land" — the barren strip that separated two parallel Walls, now a bustling hub of construction and development as government and business return to the heart of Berlin.
There also were moments for reflection on a date that coincides with the 61st anniversary of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, when Nazis destroyed more than 250 synagogues throughout Germany.
Russians continue air raids, bombing in Chechnya
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia—Russia said yesterday it had no intention of ending its raids against Chechnya despite mounting international criticism, and federal forces continued battering towns and rebel positions in the breakaway republic.
Rain, snow and fog impeded air operations, but Russian jets still flew more than 20 raids above southern Chechnya, where rebels are holding positions in the mountains, the Interfaax news agency said, citing regional military headquarters.
Russian ground forces also shelled Bamut, a southwestern town, and Gudermes, Chechnya's second-largest city. Both have been under heavy Russian fire for weeks.
Russian officials have maintained their stony rejection of criticism.
Russia's intensifying campaign in Chechnya, which began with air raids on Sept. 5, is a concern in the West, but
Helicopters fired rockets on the northern outskirts of the capital, Grozny. No casualty figures were available from Tuesday's offensive.
If Russia doesn't destroy the militants now, we will face them a fourth, fifth and a 10th time, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said yesterday.
"We are dealing with well-organized gangs of international terrorists," he said after meeting with the families of Russian policemen killed in the line of duty. He said the Chechnya campaign is the only possible way to destroy the terrorists at their bases.
Russia launched the campaign after militants based in Chechnya twice invaded the neighboring Russian republic of Dagestan this summer. Russia also blamed the rebels for blowing up four apartment buildings in Russia, killing about 300 people.
Russian ground forces took the flat lands in the northern third of Chechnya with little difficulty in October, but their progress has been mired by winter weather and the mountainous terrain of the south.

The bombings targeted the rebel stronghold of Urus-Martan, about 12 miles southwest of Grozny, as well as militant camps in a southern mountain canyon.
Jets also mined two sections of roads and damaged a bridge in the south, where militants have bases.
After civilian deaths and the plight of some 200,000 refugees, foreign leaders are questioning Russia's offensive.
U. S. State Department representative James P. Rubin said Monday that Russia was not in keeping with the Geneva Conventions by inflicting casualties on civilians.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said yesterday that Chechen refugees were continuing to stream into the neighboring Russian region of Ingushetia at a rate of 4,000 per day.
Meanwhile, Georgian authorities yielded during the weekend to Russia's demand to shut their border with Chechnya. Georgia is the only other nation to share a border with Chechnya.
Georgian officials allowed about 1,500 women and children to flee from the war into Georgia before the border was closed,
Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze said Monday.
International Monetary Fund managing director to leave post before finishing term
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—International Monetary Fund Director Michel Camdessus, who guided the agency through the turbulence of the Asian currency crisis, announced yesterday he would step down early next year.
Camdessus has two years left in his third five-year term.
The 66-year-old Frenchman had been under tremendous pressures the past two years as he was forced to keep a relentless travel schedule, flying from one crisis country to another to oversee multibillion-dollar bailout packages.
"Personal reasons of which I did not even want to hear, particularly as we were in the midst of the Asian crisis lead me to this decision — a decision I would have never thought would be so hard to take." Camdessus said in a statement he read to hundreds of IMF employees hastily assembled in the towering marble atrium at IMF headquarters, three blocks from the White House.
Camdessus said he planned to leave in mid-February after the agency's 24-member executive board had selected a successor.
"This is, I think, the right time," he said. "It is hard for me to tell you this. The world economic outlook allows us to anticipate favorable trends for the world economy, so I see it as my duty now to suggest that you take advantage of these favorable circumstances to select my replacement."
Camdessus' early departure from the job of managing director, which he has held for 13 years, longer than any other official in the history of the multinational lending agency, had been rumored for some time.
Candessus and the IMF came under heavy criticism for the IMF's handling of the Asian currency crisis, which erupted in Thailand in 1997.
The IMF assembled huge multibillion-dollar bailout packages for a number of countries in an effort to halt the spread of the crisis. Despite the fact that more than $100 billion in emergency resources were put together, the crisis ended pushing 40 percent of the global economy into recession before calm finally was restored to global financial markets.
Camdessus, however, has insisted that while the IMF would have done things differently with the benefit of hindsight, its overall policies of demanding economic reforms had been vindicated by the fact that many of the crisis countries now are enjoying rapid recoveries
Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, on Capitol Hill for a hearing on Social Security, praised Camdessus for the job he had done during a turbulent time in the global economy.
"Michel Camdessus has done an outstanding job as the IMF's longest-serving managing director," Summers said.

Security concerns alter Clinton's trip
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—In the aftermath of virulent anti-American demonstrations, aides were revising the schedule for President Clinton's visit this week to Greece — even though Clinton said he was not worried by the prospect of encountering protesters there.
Two administration officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said yesterday that U.S. and Greek officials were adjusting Clinton's schedule because of security concerns. One of them said changes involved matters such as when Clinton arrived in Greece and where he went. Both officials said the visit would not be canceled.
Clinton's visit is a matter of political and diplomatic sensitivity in Greece, where many people are angry about U.S.-led air strikes
a gainst Yugoslavia this year and believe that Washington has ignored their concerns about Balkan instability. The problem is complicated by a widespread feeling that the United States favors Greece's rival Turkey.
10
Clinton was scheduled to arrive in
Clinton: revised his schedule for his visit to Greece.
Greece on Saturday to launch an 11-day, four-nation European tour; After Greece, Clinton was to visit Florence, Italy and Bulgaria.
The president told reporters he was well aware of fervent anti-American sentiments that protesters had been expressing in Greece during the past few days.
"I think that the security issues will be fine," Clinton said. "Greece has a long and rich history of communists, anarchists (and) others on the left demonstrating. And they all disagreed with my position in Kosovo."
He said that the United States and Greece were allies, not only in NATO but also in many other important ways.
The schedule scramble came a day after Clinton declared that one of his
main foreign policy priorities was resolving tensions between Greece and Turkey concerning territorial rights in the Aegean Sea and the future of Cyprus.
According to an administration official, Greek officials suggested changing some of the schedule, so authorities could provide optimum security. The changes involved motorcade routes that were inadvertently made public in the Greek press, and some venues, the official said.
Clinton's trip to Greece comes just before the Nov. 17 anniversary of a 1973 crackdown on a student uprising against the then-military dictatorship. Many Greeks criticize the United States for its perceived role in supporting the junta, and Nov. 17 is traditionally a day of anti-American rallies.
Trump looks for support in presidential bid
Plan hinges on major tax hikes for wealthy
The Associated Press
GREENVILLE, S.C.— Seeking credibility for a potential presidential bid, Donald Trump said yesterday that he would soak the rich—including himself—with an enormous new tax to erase the national debt, save Social Security and cut taxes for the middle class.
Trump, a New York real estate tycoon with a net worth of about $5 billion, would increase his own tax bill by at least $252 million.
York office.
"It's a big hit for me, but again I think it's worth it," the potential Reform Party candidate said in a telephone interview from his New
In a brief outline of his plan obtained by The Associated Press, Trump pledged to make The United States entirely debt free as it enters the next millennium.
Trump would impose a one-time 14.25 percent tax on the net worth of people and trusts worth more than $10 million. Facing questions about the feasibility of the plan, he said he would allow wealthy Americans who had trouble liquidating their assets to pay the tax during a 10-year period.
The $5.7 trillion he expects to raise is about two-thirds of the nation's gross domestic product — a statistic sure to set off alarm bells in the financial community.
"If you think there is a bubble in the stock market, this is a sure way to prick it," said Mark Zandi,
chief economist of RFA Dismai Sciences, an economic consulting company in West Chester, Pa.
"Even talking about it would risk capital flight out of the country," added Andrew Hodge, senior vice president of the WEFA group in Eddystone, Pa. "It is pretty confidential in terms of property rights."
Trump, a long shot for the presidency, dismissed the doom-and-gloom scenarios. "It would not be a shock to the system," he said. "I've never seen paying off debt as being bad for the system."
He predicted a 35 percent boost in economic activity after elimination of the debt and the inheritance tax, and cuts in income taxes. "The wealthy would not suffer," he said.
Economics aside, Trump was seeking stature and attention with his first major policy proposal.
Known mostly for his wealth, lifestyle and monogrammed buildings, Trump wants to be taken seriously as a potential presidential candidate.
Avoiding the traditional scenes-setting speech, he unveiled the package in a series of telephone interviews yesterday.
The plan underscores his strategy of appealing to low- and middle-class Americans. Even amid an economic boom, Trump believes his class-conscious message will resonate with the millions of voters who are leery of America's economic and political elite.
"Trump is determined to put forward provocative ideas while he has the spotlight," said longtime Republican operative Roger Stone, who is heading Trump's exploratory committee.
Robot locates data recorder among Flight 990 wreckage
The Associated Press
NEWPORT, R.I. - Nine days after EgyptAir Flight 990 went down, a robot raised the hauved-up flight data recorder
— minus its "pinger" — from the ocean floor, yesterday.
Investigators at the National Transportation Safety Board began working on the tape immediately after it arrived by helicopter. Early readings were possible by late yesterday if the tape was not damaged.
The minivan-size robot Deep Drone found the box amid wreckage 250 feet below the surface. It was missing its pinger, the transmitter that emits a signal to help investigators find the recorder after an accident.
The tape could provide the best evidence of what caused the Boeing 767 to plunge into the sea off the Massachusetts island of Nantucket Oct. 31, killing all 217 people aboard.
"It will paint a picture of the aircraft moments before the accident," said James Hall, NTSB chairman. "In any aviation accident investigation, the most important information comes from the recorders."
The flight recorder captures information from 55 systems on the jet, telling investigators such things as the plane's altitude, speed, spin, roll, when electrical power was cut off and the autoilot functioned.
Deep Drone continued to search for the other "black box," the cockpit voice recorder, which contains tape of conversations between crew
members as well as discussions with air traffic controllers and any other sounds in the cockpit.
As the search continued, a Coast Guard helicopter flew above the crash site and dropped flowers that had been left at a memorial service Sunday by grieving family members.
Flight 990 took off from New York's Kennedy Airport for Cairo and fell 33,000 feet into the Atlantic about 60 miles south of Nantucket. No distress call went out from the crew. Investigators are looking into all possibilities, including mechanical failure, human error and sabotage.
Deep Drone, a veteran of earlier plane disaster recoveries, came across the bright orange flight data recorder about 5 a.m. yesterday and hauled it to the deck of the USS Grapple.
The remote-controlled robot focused on the pinging signal emitted by the recorder, but Navy technicians watching video of the wreckage spotted the recorder nearby and maneuvered the robot to retrieve it.
On deck, investigators were surprised to find the box was missing its pinger. The transmitter is installed outside the box, so that its signal can be picked up better, but that means it also can become detached.
In this case, the search for the other recorder was complicated because it was unclear whether a pinging sound that technicians were picking up was from the still-missing black box or from the detached transmitter.

Many students wind down holistically
diseases that stress can cause, but stress, to some extent, can be a good thing.
Continued from page 1A
Necessary stress
"We need a certain level of stress to get us interested and get us going," said Myra Strother, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "A certain amount alerts us."
The body's reaction to stress has its roots in pre-history when humans had to worry about being killed by large animals or rival humans. The "fight-or-flight instinct" drops extra adrenaline into the blood stream, pumping up the victim to take a stand or make an escape.
"It was a very functional thing," said Frank DeSalvo Jr., director of Counseling and Psychological Services in Watkins. "Stress caused an adrenaline rush which allowed people to do something they probably couldn't do in other circumstances. It's an evolutionary process that helps people succeed."
Stress in the 20th century is not quite as simple as kill or run, and the body's chemical reaction to modern-day problems can do severe damage, Strother said.
"Now when people get stressed about a final or getting behind in their classes, they have the same symptoms but for no reason," she said. "They just have extra acid dropped into the stomach and blood."
Thinking yourself sick
Early stress symptoms include nausea and loss of appetite, which can grow into stomach aches, heartburn and discomfort after meals.
Other commonly treated stress related problems include eye strain, intense migraines and tension headaches that begin at the back of the neck and creep to the front. Gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome, both of which cause pains in the stomach before and after meals, also can result.
More serious problems include insomnia, depression and panic disorders.
A study by Sheldon Cohen, a Carnegie Mellon psychologist, showed that people with lots of stress in their lives were more likely to develop colds when infected with a common influenza vii us. Although one single stressful event does not affect a person's health, chronic stress increases the chances of catching a virus by three to five times.
Even the common cold and flu can originate from extra stress.
Kirsten Drickey, Lindsborg senior, has a heavy load of upper-level Spanish classes. When the going gets tough, Drickey notices that she always gets sick.
"I'll catch whatever is going around," Drickey said. "We've had a couple of really bad weeks this semester, and both times I've caught a cold or something. I only get sick when I'm really stressed out."
A University of Maryland study reported that stress can cause extra fat cells to accumulate around the stomach area, even among people who are thin, causing a potbelly.
Stress also can contribute to the "freshman 15," the weight gain that college students experience when they make the transition from high school.
Strother said it was important for students to learn to deal with stress early in life, so they don't develop a situation where they keep hurting their bodies.
"People who don't learn to deal with stress can develop high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease," she said.
Popular methods of relaxation include yoga, acupuncture, exercise and massage therapy.
Winding down
The Lunaria Holistic Health Center, 1103 Massachusetts St., provides some of these services for anyone who needs a little stress relief.
Sabrina Channel, a massage therapist at the center, said that about 60 percent of her clients were University of Kansas students and that she thought massage therapy was a big help for stress symptom
While massage relaxes the muscles by touching them, yoga and tai chi concentrate on poses and breathing that not only lead to relaxation but also help strengthen the body and coordination skills.
ter about everything and less hectic."
"Muscle therapy stimulates muscles, and all muscles have neotransmitters that release feel good drugs in the body like endorphin[s]." Channel said. "Those are what help get the person relaxed and feel bet-
"It's all about the breathing," said Ali Cutler, Deerfield, Ill., senior, who practices yoga when she is stressed. "You are sitting up straight in Indian style, inhaling and exhaling through the nose and mouth. It's very relaxing. You bring all the oxygen in your body and release the carbon dioxide, and it really calms you down. I think it's just the oxygen circulating through your system. It's very cleansed."
Heal thyself
DeSalvo said that one of the best ways for individuals to deal with stress was just to learn how it affected them.
“You need to get familiar with your own body and your own triggers for stress,” DeSalvo said. “Become real familiar with areas where there are triggers and learn how to manage the stress, so you can harness the useful part of it, and stop yourself before you reach the bad part. There is a skill and technique involved in relaxing when you need to and can't. Most aren't good at it when they first try, but with practice, they can get better.”
While all of these techniques work well, it is easier just to maintain a healthy lifestyle, Strother said.
"Just remember to eat three well-balanced meals each day, get seven to eight hours of sleep and avoid alcohol and cigarettes," Strother said. "Exercise helps wonderfully. If you just take care of your body, then you are more able to handle it when you do have a few days of stress when you can't get as much sleep."
Kim Fuchs, Merriam junior, has a history of stress-related illnesses in her family, so she deals with stress by running for 20 minutes each day.
"When you are healthy, you can deal better with stress," Fuchs said. "I go by myself because it helps me organize my thoughts and make a battle plan. My best ideas come to me on my jogs. It really gets my brain going."

Stress can be a dangerous thing, but with the right techniques, stress can be turned into a motivator, DeSalvo said.
"One person's level of stress that is 'exciting' can be another person's 'overwhelming,'" he said. "It all depends on the unique reaction of the person. Some stress improves or increases performance level. Up to a certain point, that is helpful. No one knows where that breaking point is. It is up to the individual to figure out where their limit is."

'Hawks grab win despite sluggish play
By Melinda Weaver
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Although the Kansas women's basketball team walked away from its first exhibition game with an 80-67 victory against Club Gija Marijampole from Lithuania, the team did not perform to the level it expected.
The defense was sluggish in the post, allowing center Zane Rozite to score 24 points.
"We just didn't move," Coach Marian Washington said. "We spent so much time reaching that the post never contained their inside player. No one did a good job on defense. We seemed to just stand straight up."
Kansas was called for 24 fouls, which led
LAST NIGHT'S GAME
Kansas 80, Club Gija Marijampole 67
to 27 Club Gija points at the free throw line. Forward Lynn Pride said the defense would come together with practice as the players became more accustomed to one another.
"We just need to communicate with each other and stick to the game plan," Pride said. "There were a lot of breakdowns. We just need to practice the defense and get better for next time. We definitely learned from this."
Club Gja kept the game close in the opening minutes of the first half before the Jayhawks started to pull away with 12:15 left in the half, scoring nine unanswered points that put them ahead 22-11.
Kansas maintained at least a 10-point lead throughout the rest of the first half, and Club Gija never was able to pull closer. At the half, Kansas led 39-28.
In the second half, Kansas' new triplepost offense showed signs of being a potent attack as the Jayhawks' ball-movement opened up holes in the defense.
Pride led Kansas in scoring with 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting, and four others added double figures. Forward Brooke Reves had 15, guard Jennifer Jackson added 13 and forward Jaclyn Johnson scored 14 coming off the bench.
Guard Suzi Raymant scored 16 points, including shooting 2-of-5 behind the three-point line, in her first game after sitting out most of last season with a torn anterior orculate ligament in her left knee.
"When I first came out, I felt good, and my knee felt good, but as the game went on, it began to ache," Rayman said. "I just need to get used to playing a certain amount of minutes. I was nervous because I hadn't played in so long, but the game helped me get over that."
Despite the balanced scoring attack by the Jayhawks, Club Gija was able to remain close throughout the game behind the scoring of Rozite and guards Jolanta Prekisiene and Egle Sanajavaite, who scored 13 and 12 points, respectively.
"This just shows how much harder we need to work before we are ready to begin our conference schedule," Reves said. "It's going to happen. Everything is going to come together, but we just have to work hard."

You've probably never heard of "Jarring Jim."
You look at this story, these pictures, and say to yourself, "Jim Bausch? No. 6?"
Ask your parents if they've heard of Bausch. If they haven't, ask your grandparents. Still no luck? Read on. From 1929-32, Bausch lettered in track, football and basketball at the University of Kansas, where he transferred from Wichita University after his freshman year. You've probably never heard of him because his collegiate feats were accomplished just after the Depression. He was named All-Big 6 in football in 1929 and 1930, and he played in the 1930 Shrine Game in San Francisco.
Because Bausch played before individual statistics were widely recorded, it's hard to illustrate in numbers how good he was on the football field. But he was drafted by the Chicago Cardinals in 1934 and inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954. He's also in the Kansas Athletic Hall of Fame.
After leaving the 1929 Kansas State game because of injury, Bausch was labeled the "All-Star Yellow-Belly" by
Bausch's football prowess is perhaps best told with this story:
Manhattan, Kan., sportswriters. The next year, in Manhattan, Bausch scored all of Kansas' points in a 14-0 win. He returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown and, playing defense, took a second-half interception 68 yards for another score. Also the team's kicker, Bausch converted both extra points.
His football career was cut short after some conference schools accused Bausch of taking money on the pretext of selling insurance. Kansas and Bausch argued that he was actually selling insurance, but University of Missouri professor W.A. Tarr won the case. Kansas State abstained, and the other four Big 6 schools voted to ban Bausch.
Despite the vote, Bausch maintained amateur status in basketball and track. Though he lettered in basketball and led the Jayhawks to their first Big 6 football title in

Guard Stevenson plans to commit today; Bryant narrowing his choices
By Matt Tait
Today begins the early signing period for high school seniors looking to commit to the school where they will play basketball.
After nearly a semester of waiting, their day has finally come.
For Kansas, the wait is two-fold. First the Jayhawks will wait to receive the national letter of intent from 6-foot-5 guard DeShawn Stevenson, from Fresno,
Calif, who verbally committed to Kansas more than a month ago.
Stevenson said that he planned to sign today and that he would mail his letter of intent immediately.
The second part of the wait is not so easy. The Jayhawks will be waiting for 6-foot-8 forward Travon Bryant to make a final decision. As of last night Bryant, from Long Beach, Calif., said that he was still deciding among four schools — Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri and California.
He also said that he planned to sign during the early period, which gives him until Nov. 17 to make a decision.
"I'm signing Wednesday." Stevenson said. "I'll send it in the mail, and it will be done. I think everything about it is great."
He said his decision would come after he sat down with his mother and weighed all
of the pros and cons at each university.
“It’s kind of the same as Kansas,” Bryant said. “There’s a great environment, great fans and great coaching staffs on both sides, but I've looked at Kansas since I was in eight grade — it'll be a tough decision.”
Last weekend, he traveled to Lexington, Ky, for his final campus visit. He said he enjoyed seeing the University of Kentucky and liked the school a lot.
Numerous recruiting analysts have said in the past that they believed Bryant would choose Kansas. Bryant, however, has made no indication that he has eliminated any of the four schools.
Both Stevenson and Bryant said they had decided to sign early to get it out of the way and to better focus on their final high school seasons.

"We're a young team of sophomores and juniors, but there's a lot of talent, too," he said. "I think we are a lot of real good."
"We're going to be pretty good." Stevenson said.
Bryant's season will begin Monday and he too thinks that his team will be good.
Kansas officials will not comment on any player before they receive an official letter of intent.
Stevenson started practice Oct. 20 and said that everything was going well.

'Free Lester' poster retired, not forgotten
It's hard work being a Lester Earl fan. It seems that if he's not pump-faking a free throw, bricking a dunk, or shooting the ball into the underside of the rim, he's getting in trouble with the law.
The first time I saw Lester play was during
It's even harder work being the original Lester Earl fan. Therein lies the story.
my senior year in high school while watching the McDonald's All-American game. He reminded me of a young Shawn Kemp. At the time, he was deciding between Kansas and Louisiana State. I was on my way to Kansas; I figured Lester was, too.
Later, he signed with Louisiana State. I was disappointed but stayed loyal to the letter of intent I signed with Kansas.
SCHULTE
Jones sports columnist
sports@kansan.com
I'll spare you the part of the story where Lester came to Kansas and Dale Brown, the former Louisiana State coach, refused to let him out of his commitment.
But as a fan of Kansas and Lester Earl, I felt bad for Lester. I knew that if I were in Earl's position, I'd only be wanting to play basketball, something Brown didn't want him to do.
This was before my career at the Kansan began, so I didn't have a sports column to voice my opinion to a large number of people. But wanting to help out anyway I could, I took a different course of action.
I went to Dillons, bought some poster board and a couple of Sharpie markers. In bold print, I wrote two words on my sign: "Free Lester."
The first time I took it to a game, the response was tremendous. The students shouted in support. The alumni golf-clapped to show their support. And even the team acknowledged me in support of my sign.
I still remember holding the sign up while Scot Pollard tapped Lester on the shoulder, pointed to me, and then they both laughed and gave me a thumbs-up. Pollard then got coach Roy Williams' attention, and Coach liked it as well. Every time I brought the sign, Lester was sure to point at me and give me a wave.
I felt like a celebrity that day. A cameraman from Kansas City came up to the stands, took a shot of me and the sign, then told me. "You're going to be all over the country tonight."
A couple of days later, I saw Lester on campus. I figured I should introduce myself as the maker of the "Free Lester" sign.
Lester had a big smile on his face when he said, "You made that sign? I loved it!" We chatted briefly, but most of the conversation was Lester making sure I would bring the sign to the rest of the games that season. As I walked off to class, he shouted back to me. "Hey Seth! Think you can get some of your friends to also bring 'Free Lester' signs?" I told him I'd see what I could do.
Before I knew it, I was spotted on SportsCenter. My line was being used in newspapers from here to Louisiana.Williams told the press that he thought it was the sign of the year. In 1997 at Late Night with Roy Williams, I made C.B. McGrath's Top 10 ways to make SportsCenter.
Eventually, Lester was released by Louisiana State. His first game was to be Dec. 20, 1997, against Texas Christian at Kemper Arena.
I was a little concerned that even after being Lester's biggest proponent I wouldn't score good seats to his first game in a Kansas jersey. I hadn't talked with Lester in a while, so before one game I walked down during warm-ups and told Lester about my predicament.
"Don't sweat the tickets," Lester told me.
"Write down your full name and a couple of your friends' names, and I'll get you all in the game as my guests."
Lester scored me and two friends seats three rows behind the Kansas bench. That night, I retired the "Free Lester" sign and unveiled the new "Lester B. Free" sim.
Regardless of what Lester does at the freethrow line, regardless of what trouble he gets into around town, I'll always root for him. Lester, this is Jonesey wishing you best of luck in your senior season.

Tennessee surges to second in Bowl Championship Series
Penn State lost, Virginia Tech barely won and Tennessee won big.
Toss the results into a computer, and the Volunteers emerged for the first time as one of the top two teams in this week's Bowl Championship Series standings.
Tennessee (7-1) jumped from fifth place to second in the BCS standings released Monday, replacing Penn State (9-1) behind Florida State (9-0) and moving ahead of Virginia Tech (8-0) and Florida (8-1).
If this scenario plays out, there will be a repeat pairing for the national title: Vols vs. Seminoles. Last season, the Vols beat the Seminoles 23-16 in the Flesta Bowl for the title.

INDIANAPOLIS — As the Indianapolis Colts rallied around grieving teammate Steve Muhammad, the Marion County prosecutor's office said yesterday that no decision had been made about pursuing charges of domestic battery against him.
Muhammad was cleared in the death of his pregnant wife, 30-year-old Nichole Muhammad. An autopsy indicated injuries that induced the premature labor and internal bleeding that led to her death and the death of her unborn baby Sunday were caused by a traffic accident last Thursday, not by a fight with her husband a week earlier.

Bradley player to miss aames after using fake ID
PEORIA, Ill. — Bradley suspended Reggie Hall from the basketball team after he was arrested on charges of using a teammate's driver's license to enter a downtown tavern.
Hall, a 20-year-old junior swingman, was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with unlawful use of a driver's license and misrepresentation of age by a minor, police said. A court date was scheduled for Dec. 6.
Bradley coach Jim Molinari said Hall's suspension would include an exhibition game against Athletes in Action and could include some regular season games. The Braves' season-opener is scheduled for Nov. 19 at home against South Alabama.
Molinari said team rules forbade players from visiting bars even if they were more than 21 years old.

Ottawa general manager Marshall Johnston, reiterating that the Senators will not trade the Russian center, also said the club thought Yashin still owed them a year's service.
With both parties adamant they won't budge on their contract stance, the suspension seems to add little to the mix — unless Yasin unexpectedly caves in.
But the threat of financial penalties and the issue of whether Yashin owes the team another year could be critical to the league and the NHL Players Association.
The dispute comes at a critical point in the franchise's history, as majority owner Rod Bryden lobbies for tax breaks he says the team needs to survive.

New offense has trouble adjusting to zone defense
By Amanda Kaschube
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Earlier this season, Kansas coach Marian Washington said her team would be implementing the triple-post, or triangle, offense.
The offense, which was invented by Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Tex Winter, uses the team's strengths and passing ability to find an open shot for any player. The Jayhawks had been practicing their new offense against man-to-man defense. However, the Jayhawks' competition last night, Club Gija Marijampole, a team from Lithuania, did not play man-to-man last night. The Jayhawks won 80-67.
"We hadn't spent a lot of time on zone defense," Washington said. "We quickly worked on it two days ago."
Senior guard Lynn Pride said that the triangle offense worked better against a man-to-man defense.
"Once we have the opportunity to run it on the man defense, we will have more to say about it." she said.
In the last minutes of the game, Club Gija switched to man-to-man defense, and the Jayhawks executed the triangle better. Once, Pride received a back-door pass and drove to the basket before being fouled.
Senior shooting guard Suzi Raymant agreed that the lack of preparation against a zone defense hurt the team's offense.
"We've been practicing the triple post in practice," she said. "We rushed a lot though — people wanted to shoot if they were open."
The rushed offense caused the Jayhawks to commit 20 turnovers, which resulted in 23 points for Club Gila.
"We need to be patient with it and work through it," said junior forward Brooke Reves. "We need to think through it before we can execute on offense."
The Jayhawks did have moments of greatness, though. Once, Kansas passed the ball around the perimeter five times before sophomore forward Nikki White scored in the paint.
"The offense could be very effective," Washington said. "We will spend more time on it."
Reves said she enjoyed working with the new offense because it made the team much stronger.
"When we stuck with the ball, it worked really well because the team is so versatile," she said. "We work well with the ball."
Once the season begins, Pride said that the triple post would be used more because it would be better suited against the opposition's defense.
"With the competition in the Big 12, I don't anticipate to see much zone defense," she said.

'Hawks hunting for tournament boost, victory against Sooners
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
If their last meeting with Oklahoma is any indication, the Jayhawks should be pretty confident heading into tonight's match.
The Kansas volleyball team, 16-9 overall and 7-7 in the Big 12 Conference, plays the Sooners for the second time this season at 7 tonight at the Horesei Family Athletics Center. The Jayhaws hit a record .377 against Oklahoma on Oct. 6, pummeling the Sooners for a 3-4 victory in Norman, Okla.
In that match, the Jayhawks dropped the first game 15-3 then bounced back and took the next three games 15-8, 15-9 and 15-2. But Kansas won't be taking Oklahoma lightly.
"Apparently they are improving, and they have been playing better," said Kansas senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht. "We have improved as well, so we expect a fight."
and 3-11 in the Big 12, but the Sooners have stepped up their play lately. Oklahoma swept Missouri 3-0 a week ago, then took then-No. 12 Texas to the wire Saturday before losing a 3-2 match in Austin, Texas.
Oklahoma comes into the match 8-16 overall
If you chart their last five matches, they've matched in Kentucky.
"If you chart their last five won two and played ranked opponents very tough," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "We know that they're playing better than the last time we faced them, and we're not about to overlook anybody."
A win against Oklahoma
Volleyball
A Win against Oklahoma would further boost Kansas' NCAA Tournament aspirations. The first-place finisher in the Big 12 will get an automatic berth, while the rest of the teams will hope for at-large bids.
The Big 12 sent six teams to the tournament last season. However, Bechard said a berth in the tournament won't depend necessarily on
where Kansas finishes in the Big 12 standings. Currently, the Jayhawks are in sole possession of seventh place in the conference.
"I think we feel that we're still in the hunt," Beard said. "I think it's more about your conference record than where you finish in the conference standings. A .500 finish would get you some consideration, but an 11-9 or a 12-8 record would probably do it."
That means the Jayhawks need at least three more Big 12 wins to get consideration. After Oklahoma, the Jayhawks face four ranked opponents in their last five matches, including No. 23 Baylor, No. 15 Texas A&M, No. 19 Kansas State and No. 22 Colorado.
One key statistic in that sequence of numbers — the Jayhawks have never beaten a ranked opponent.
we're just trying to stay focused on one game at a time," Albrecht said. "If we focus from game to game, everything should turn out well."

Jayhawks seek elusive road win, pride
The Jayhawks, 4-6 overall and 2-4 in the Big 12, are playing for that elusive road win, and they're playing for pride too.

The 'Hawks were thinking about playing and beating Oklahoma State last week, just moments after the Baylor victory. Linebacker Tim Bowers made that clear by talking about team goals and team pride.
If Kansas beats Oklahoma State on Saturday, it will be the first road conference victory of the Terry Allen era. In fact, it would be the second road win for Allen against any team since he's been at Kansas. His only win on the road was a four-overtime 39-37 win against Alabama-Birmingham last season.

"We want to go out there and win another game," Bowers said. "You know we still have the same goals that we want to accomplish for the season."
Though it wouldn't be the most monumental win in school history, it would be a start. Last week's 45-10 victory against Baylor was Allen's first against a Big 12 Conference Texas school. So it could be back-to-back weeks of landmark wins.

"Some road games we would play well," said nose tackle John Williams. "A&M was pretty close. We played well, it's just that Lady Luck needs to roll our way."
Twice last year, the Jayhawks surrendered fourth-quarter leads and lost on the road — a 31-24 loss at Baylor and a 23-20 loss at Iowa State. This year's road losses haven't been quite as close, but they've been just as frustrating.

Bausch's Olympic legend couldn't lead him to fame

javelin (191 feet-2) and shot put (49-10.5) outright and was co-champion in the pole vault (13-3.5). He also won the indoor shot put (48-7.5) that year and went on to win the Kansas Relays decathlon title in 1931 and 1932.
But Bausch didn't just succeed on the local and collegiate level. He won the 1932 Olympic decathlon gold medal with a then-record score of 8,462.235 points (In 1976, the Guinness Book of World Records changed the scoring based on modern procedure and listed Akilles Jarvinen with more points. Bausch was still the gold medalist.).
It is said that Bausch intimidated his competition in Berlin by passing his first three pole-vault tries. He warmed up by touching the grass with his fingers and flexing the muscles in his body. Bausch also kept some 45,000 fans waiting after an old football knee injury acted up before winning the javelin, the decathlon's ninth event.
Jim Bausch prepares to throw the discus. Bausch's discus-throwing ability helped him win the decathlon title at the 1931 and 1932 Kansas Relays. Contributed photo
Some observers said at the time that Bausch's disappearance was another intimidation ploy.

he was happy with the record but could have broken 8,600 points with two healthy knees.
?
Either way, Bausch needed only to jog the final event, the 1500-meter run, to set the record and win the gold medal. After the games, Bausch reportedly said that
After a three-year NFL career and a brief attempt at nightclub singing—"His mellow baritone simply lacked sufficient training," wrote Francis W. Schruben in April 1977 — Bausch joined the life insurance business. He also served as a Naval officer during World War II and later worked as an investigator for the Internal Revenue Service.
"Jarring Jim" died July 9, 1974, before most current KU students were born. That's probably why most students never would have heard of Jim Bausch prior to picking up this newspaper.

people thought was boastful was in reality, just a statement of fact," said Glen Cunningham, who ran with Bausch at Kansas. "He would talk about what he was going to do, and then he would do it."
After his showing at the 1932 games — Bausch was crowned "King of the Olympics." Observers raved about his athletic ability. Amos Alonzo Stagg saw Bausch's decathlon win as well as legendary Jim Thorpe's performance in the 1912 Games. He rated Bausch the better.
Despite Olympic success, Bausch's fame was temporary. He turned down one movie contract and was reportedly disappointed that more offers were not made.

Texas Longhorns shoot for national respect,title
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Last season the Texas Longhorns established themselves as the top team in the Big 12 Conference by winning the regular season title.
This season, Texas wants to establish itself as one of the top teams in the nation.
"I can honestly say for once in my life that we can't put limits on this team," said junior center Chris Mihm. "I think we have unbelievable talent on this team, and as long as we keep working hard and working together as a team, I think we can be a top team in the nation."

takes to drive this team to our goals," Mihm said. A talented group of freshmen and transfers join the team this season. The guard position has been beefed up by the incoming players, but the most noticeable impact has been in the new players' attitudes.

Two things are apparent as Texas A&M enters this season.
First, the Aggies are extremely young. And second, Coach Melvin Watkins likes it that way.

"I don't think I've ever been associated with a team this young," he said. "We will have to depend on some of the new players coming in and contributing immediately. You'd like to be able to bring those kids along gradually, but we're in a situation where some of them will be thrown into the fire right away."
Although young players can be unreliable, Watkins is not only
After losing two starters because of graduation and another because of academic problems, Watkins' main concern will be the Aggies' backcourt.

Texas is like any Big 12 Conference team.
It has improved from last year,has key upperclassmen who expect to lead the team to the top of the conference and has brought in a strong recruiting class to add depth to the lineup.
"I think we're a lot like many of the teams in the Big 12," said Coach Jody Conradt. "We return almost our entire squad. We have a marquee player and freshmen who bring enthusiasm. I think you could say that about everyone. So many teams in the Big 12 are at the same level."
Texas' marque player is senior Edwina Brown, who led the team in 16 statistical categories last year. She averaged 16.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.2 steals per game. Brown was one of two

collegiate athletes to compete for the United States in the Pan-American games and finished first in assists with 4.0 per game, and steals with 2.4 per game. She finished second in scoring with 13.3 per game, and rebounding with 5.1 per game.
"We have to win our home games and steal some on the road," Conradt said.
Despite youth, Conradt said that the team had a simple gameplan for the coming season.
The Longhorns proved they could compete in the conference last season when they became only one of two conference teams to defeat Texas Tech, the defending Big 12 champion. Texas' 16-12 record, 10-6 in the Big 12, also earned the team a NCAA tournament bench, and the Longhorns lost a close game to

Texas A&M has nothing to prove this season.
The Aggies won only nine Big 12 Conference games in the past three seasons and are picked in preseason polls .o finish in last place again this season.
But the Aggies are not too worried.
"It gives us motivation," said senior forward Kera Alexander. "We're not going to finish in last place just because everyone thinks we are going to finish last. When you are in last place, what have you got to lose? We can't disappoint anybody."
However, Coach Peggie Gillom joined Texas A&M last season after winning back-to-back championships with the WNBA's Houston Comets and would like to turn the Aggles into a winning team.

"We played well last year, but the transition had a lot to do with our lack of success," Gillom said. "It's just a matter of adjusting, and we have adjusted."
Texas A&M finished 7-20 last season, but it lost eight games by five points or less. This season, the team would like to play tough in the final minutes to pull out those close games.
Gillom added a six-person recruiting class that concentrates on adding a balanced shooting
attack.
"Last season, we were missing outside shooting," Gillom said. "I think we added that with our recruiting class. We have a lot more weapons. We definitely weren't as good at shooting as we could have been."
In addition to the six newcomers, the Aggies return last season's top three scorers: Alexander, senior forward Prissy Sharpe and junior guard Brandy Jones.
Gillom said that the most promising aspect of the team was that the players maintained a positive attitude despite their low ranking.
"It is such a positive thing because they never get down on themselves," Gillom said. "There were a lot of games that we should have won last season, and it was very hard for us, but I thought we showed a lot of guts. I am seeing that same attitude this season."

Sex in movies often reflects issues, morals of pop culture
By Derek Prater
Kansan staff writer
Sex on the silver screen is more than just skin and scandal. It's popular culture, morals and awakenings.
"Film and television — the popular media — reflect issues and accelerate interest in those issues," said Chuck Berg, professor of theater and film at the University of Kansas.
Films such as this year's much-talked about sexual eye-opener, *Romance*, force audiences to reevaluate their own sexual mores and identities.
Romance, a French import by writer/director Catherine Breillat, is an exploration of sex from a feminine perspective. Complex relationships and emotions swirl in a sexual milieu that rivals pornography in its frank sexual depictions. The film even features legendary porn star Rocco Siffredi.
Gratuitous sex scenes may raise eyebrows and stir up controversy, but the most important films in terms of sex and society are much more subtle, said Berg and colleague John Tibbetts, assistant professor of theater and film.
Tibbetts said that sex — or at least the implication of sex — has stirred up cinema controversy since the dawn of film.
He cited films from director Ernst Lubitsch in the 1920s.
- rums like The Marriage Circle dealt with issues like infidelity and flirtation
"Films like The Marriage Circle dealt with issues like infidelity and flirtation in a sophistocated way. At the time, it was controver sial."
John Tibbetts Assistant professor of theater and film
Lubitsch's films weren't heavyhanded or moralistic which was a departure from the standard method of dealing with sexual behavior, he said.

ty or scandalous screen."
Tibbetts said that films of the '20s mixed moral lessons with sexual innuendo.
"It's called buttering both sides of the bread," he said. "It was the only way, really, that you could get a lot of sex, nudibehavior on the
Lubitsch dealt with sex as a more normal, natural part of human interaction. Sex could be funny and fun.
Tibbetts said that in the mid-1930s, the film industry began rigid self-censorship and there was a lack of sex-oriented feature films until the 1950s.
A combination of trends led to more sexual experimentation in films beginning in the 1950s. Berg said that the introduction of television began to draw audiences away from movie theaters. Filmmakers decided that one way to differentiate movies from television would be to deal more openly with sex.
Influences from Europe also contributed to a sexual revolution on film in the United States, Tibbetts said.

Some roommates lack sexual privacy
By Becky Lake Special to the Kansan
While the other residents of Hashinger Hall had to contend with roommates who were a bit sloppy, kept unusual hours, or had annoying friends, Laura McCray's roommate her freshman year, had a different, more unsetting habit.
"My first roommate in the dorms had sex on the floor next to my bed," said McCray, Westwood senior. "I started hearing noises and looked over... it was disgusting."
McCray said that her presence on the lower bunk, directly next to the couple, apparently was not an impediment to her roommate and her male friend.
"She had to have known," McCray said. "They weren't too concerned, especially since they were making noises."
McCray's experience is not unusual. Roommates' libidos can lead to embarrassing interruptions or the use of deadbolts in dorms.
"One night I was just laying there in my bed," she said. "My roommate comes in with this guy, and they just hop into bed. For at least an hour they were messing around, and they ended up having sex. I was just sitting there thinking, 'Do I get up and run out of the room, or do I got to sleep?' Finally, I fell asleep."
Kristin Murray, Iola sophomore, had a similar experience her freshman year in Ellsworth Hall.
Penny Laden, a former resident assistant at Ellsworth and Hashinger halls, said roommates having sex was a consistent source of conflict in residence halls.
"On almost every floor there's always at least two rooms where there is a girl with a boyfriend and they're going at it the time," said Laden, Overland Park senior. "Most of the time it causes a huge problem between roommates, even if they don't talk about it, because it's still a really big deal. As an RA, you always hear about it."
Bailey Kivett, Halistead sophomore and RA at McColum Hall, said that although sex is a problem among roommates, all residents are given a roommate contract at the beginning of the year to help prevent
problems and establish rules.
"Most just decide it's okay as long as there's prior notice," Kivett said. "Usually that takes care of most of it."
But Jackson Wells, also a McColum RA, said that he did not think the contracts were effective concerning the sex issue.
"I don't think very many people go through with their contracts," said Wells, Pittsburg junior.
Some roommates don't need contracts to establish a code of conduct about sexual privacy. Jennifer Gray, Overland Park freshman and Hashinger Hall resident, said it wasn't that big a deal to ask her roommate to leave or to leave the room herself. Gray said that both she and her roommate exercised daily caution.
"I know that I need to knock on the door first," Gray said. "My roommate uses the same precaution."
But Brian Mead, Garden City sophmore, did not have similar luck in dropping the hint to his old roommate in McCollum Hall.
"I'd say, 'Hey man, you wanna leave?' and he wouldn't' "Mead said. "Or, he would leave, but he'd come back a half hour later. It's the unspoken law — you walk in, and your roommate is sexually involved, and you leave. I don't think you should have to say anything. Even the guy who delivered Chinese ffood knew better."
Mead said his roommate talked to their RA about the issue instead of confronting him.
Neither McCray nor Murray broached the topic to their roommates about their sexual behavior, either.
Laden said that lack of communication makes the situation even worse.
"I'm not very good with confrontations, so I never said anything." Murray said.
“It’s really important when you’re living with someone in that close of a vicinity to talk about it. If you feel like there’s something that’s invading your right to live there, then that’s not fair to you,” she said. “But if you don’t say anything and get mad about it, then that’s not fair to them.”
In general, the rule best followed is to be neither a spectator nor a spectacle. Mead said he doesn't think it's difficult to master such a concept.
"If you walk in on something like that, get what you need, and go hang out with friends," he said.

Married with children
For some students, married life offers an alternative to premarital sex worries and problems experienced by most other college students. However, juggling families, kids and classes presents a different set of problems.

HOROSCOPES
Be cautious today, especially about information. Ask more questions than you answer. The winners at this game will be calm, cool and patient, so no matter what, don't lose your temper. This is good for you.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Work with a partner for maximum success.
The two of you can make a strong showing.
Work out your differences and agree on your goals first. If you can manage that, others won't have a chance.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
There's way too much to do. Besides that, just about anything that can go wrong will. Knowing that ahead of time, give yourself several backups and a couple of extra escape routes. You're smart enough to get through, but victory may be delayed.
Cancer; Today is a 7.
You are busy. Pay close attention because things are changing fast. Snoozing is not recommended. Love looks good if you can find time for it, and if you have any energy left.
Leo: Today is a 6.
You should be kind of quiet today, especially about money. You can discuss a deal that will make you wealthier, but that's all. You can convince a person to pay back what's owed to you, for example.
You may still be concerned about money. You should be used to that by now. This is not how it always has to be. You can learn how to save, as well as make more. Go ahead and clip those coupons; it'll be good for you.
Saaittarius: Today is a 5.
You should have a good attitude. You're learning, and that's good. You're not taking yourself too seriously either. Keep most of what you're learning to yourself a while longer, however. That's smart too.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
You're usually lucky when the moon's in your sign, but the sun's in Scorpio now. You want to talk, but you really shouldn't. Even somebody you trust doesn't need to know something yet. Listen instead.
A few disruptions and changes come about.
You like to have your routine established, and that's not happening yet. No need to let other people in on your frustration. Wait until you have a more coherent picture to present.
---
Your friends can get you some good deals now, so let them know what you need. You're under a bit of stress, but that's OK. It could motivate you to do something you've been thinking about.
C
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
LION
Sex on the Hill
1
Get the work done first, especially if you don't want to. The temptation to goof off is strong, but it's not a good idea. If you don't have anything else to do, read. Look busy and play later.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Travel and work are connected again, maybe even required. You can combine the two quite successfully now, and you might slip some fun in while you're at it. Give yourself plenty of time and listen much more than you talk.

Students juggle college, family life
By John Audlehelm
Special to the Kansan
Although they are a minority, at least one group of students does not have to worry about the problems associated with premarital sex.
According to University records, 1,834 married students were enrolled at the University of Kansas. Of those students, 761 were married with children.
He said there also were 8,270 KU students who did not fill out the marital status box.
Mike Zielke, Lenexa senior, is one of these non-traditional students. He was married in August 1988 and returned to college last spring.
Before that, he had been a ski instructor in Winter Park, Colo. He and his wife, Laura, dated for three months and then found out she was pregnant.
"We really didn't know if we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together." he said.
"We had decided we wouldn't get married just because she was pregnant."
elementary education, were married in May. The couple had dated since high school.
Zielke said the birth of his son, Noah, made the couple certain that they wanted to be married.
Noah will be three years old Oct. 23, and Laura is pregnant again, this time with a girl.
Aaron Tobias, a senior in aerospace engineering from Lyons, and Kim Tobias, a Lyons sophomore in
Aaron and Kim said being married during college was not a problem, and it was nice to be together.
The couple said they were quiet people and glad they didn't have to do the college dating routine.
Aaron said after mowing the lawn one Saturday morning, he and Kim went to a movie and he still was wearing his muddy yard clothes. He said he saw most of the other college students dressed up and was glad he didn't feel that obligation.
"I went to a movie in my grungies and felt good," he said.
Aaron and Sarah Clopton met two years ago and were married in July. Aaron is from Andover and graduated last spring, and Sarah is an Orlando, Fla., senior.
They said they had agreed to take it slowly but talked about marriage after only a month of dating.
"Lo and behold, a month later we're talking about marriage," he said. "When you know, you know. Time frames as far as love and marriage are really thrown out the window."
Aaron said since they were still young, they could enjoy college life and marriage.
All three couples said their friends and family were very supportive.
Zielke said his family was very happy, because his wife and child
motivated his return to college.
"My son is two years old, and the hardest part of going to school is not being with him," he said. "It's kind of a double-edged sword because they're the reason I'm here."
Kim Tobias said her parents were married when they were both 19, just like Aaron and her.
"They were sweethearts in high school, so I guess we kind of followed in their footsteps," she said.
Aaron and Kim said their families were not surprised, because they saw the relationship grow.
Sarah said her family was thrilled to have a new addition. After dating a short while, her mother told Sarah she thought Aaron was different from the other guys Sarah had dated.
"And devilishly handsome," Aaron said.
Sarah said her college friends were supportive, also because they saw the relationship grow.
"I think my friends at home were more surprised than my friends here," she said.
The Rev. Dr. Charles E. Gilmore, who married the Cloptons, said his church, Trinity Lutheran, 1245 New Hampshire, provided ministry for marriage.
"We're trying to figure out a way to help couples prepare for marriage today," he said.
Gumore said he did not conduct a marriage if the couple had not gone
"Lo and behold, a month later we're talking about marriage. When you know, you know. Time frames as far as love and marriage are really thrown out the window."
Aaron Clopton Orlando Fla, senior
through the church's marital counseling.
The group and individual sessions deal with issues such as communication, parenting, intimacy, finances, decision-making as a couple, spiritual foundations for homes, family structure and conflict management, he said.
"You don't bring two different, unique people together and not have conflict," he said.
Gilmore said marriage was a big lifestyle change for college students.
"A number of them have settled into a 'single' routine," he said. "There has to be a mental shift."
Married students must deal with another person's schedule and finances, and also make time to spend as a couple, Gilmore said.
Changing sexual imagery reflects changing attitudes
Continued from page 1B
"European imports of films began to challenge the mores of Hollywood," Tibbetts said. "The Pandora's box was pretty much open."
Filmmaker Federico Fellini and actress Bridget Bardot paved the way for the furor that surrounded American sexual icons like Marilyn Monroe. Not everybody, however, was receptive to the more open sexual dialogue of foreign films.
Tibettbs recalled when the Lawrence vice squad raided a screening of Jean-Luc Goddard's A Married Woman at the Kansas Union. The film ultimately was allowed to be screened, but the mere implication of sexually explicit content apparently ruffled someone's moral feathers. Tibettbs said.
As films dealt more with sex, they generally took one of two approaches, Berg said. They either exploited
gratuitous nudity and sexual encounters, or they took on a more mature approach.
Dealing with sexual awakenings and confronting issues of sexual identity and convention are the frontiers for cinema sex in today's wide-open media forum. Simple exploitation is becoming passé for mature audiences. Tibbets said.
"Mere sex now is not the drawing card it used to be," he said. "I'm beginning to think that sex in the
cinema is being replaced by sex on cable or the Internet."
But thoughtful, challenging depictions of sexual relationships will continue to draw people into the theater and influence the way we think about sex.
Berg said that coming of age was something that everyone could identify with.
"It's a pretty old story, but endlessly interesting," he said.

Sex toys come in all shapes, sizes and colors, with a variety of functions and features for almost any sexual taste. But what most people don't know is that the cost involved with getting intimate with a sex toy could actually be cheaper than a nice date.
One of the most common sex toys is the vibrator. Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., features multiple types of vibrators at varying costs. The basic vibrators start out at $10, with waterproof and multi-speed vibrators costing up to $32. Of course, batteries are not included.
Vibrator sales account for 15 to 20 percent of Priscilla's total sales per month, and the store sells an average of 300 to 400 vibrators a month, managers said.
In addition, blow-up dolls, dildos, and fake orifices are popular sex toys.
Blow-up dolls come in the male and female form and offer vibrating genitalia for a more realistic experience. Most of the blow-up dolls at Priscilla's were in the price range of $50 to $60.
"If I was going to get a vibrator, I wouldn't go to a novelty shop. I'd order one online or from a catalog."
Keri Krueger Perry sophomore
Dildos, much like vibrators, come in a variety of shapes and sizes. However, dildos are more economical than vibrators, mostly due to their lack of electrical components. Dildos are made out of plastic, rubber and silicon, some of which were molded from the penises of famous porn stars. Many of the dildos at Priscilla's were priced at $20 or less.
Fake orifices were designed mostly with men in mind. One fake orifice offered at Priscilla's comes complete with an adapter for car cigarette lighters, for the man on the go. Fake orifices begin at $50 for a basic fake orifice. Features such as varying speeds, remote controls and added realism can add hundreds of dollars to the cost.
For students who would rather
not purchase a sex toy out in the open, there are sites on the Internet that sell sex toys.
"If I was going to get a vibrator, I wouldn't go to a novelty shop," Keri Krueger, Perry sophomore said. "I'd order one online or from a catalog."
One popular sex toy vendor on the net is Good Vibrations, (www.goodvibes.com). Good Vibrations sells sex toys, erotic literature, adult videos, birth control, lubrication and also has an antique vibrator museum. Good Vibrations also makes sure.neighbors and mail carriers don't know what's in the package because it's sent in plain brown wrapping.
Good Vibrations has an extensive selection of plug-in massagers and vibrators that range in cost from $28 to $68. Besides being genital massagers, many of these products could be used effectively on backs and feet.
Study reveals society slowly overcoming myths about masturbation
Good Vibrations also offers many products for men, including penis pumps, which are used to stimulate and temporarily enlarge the penis, at a cost of $20 to $75. Unfortunately for the interested minors, the site only will sell to those 21 or older.

Stop feeling guilty.
Most people masturbate. It is a natural, harmless expression of sexuality in both men and women, according to a recent study.
A national study by the Sinclair Intimacy Institute, a nationally-renowned authority on sexual education and information, found that 95 percent of men and 89 percent of women reported having masturbated at some point in their lives.
"It is interesting how as a culture that has become comfortable talking about sex, musurba
tion is still an uncomfortable topic for most people," said John Wade, counseling psychologist and Outreach Coordinator for Counseling and Psychological Services at Watkins Health Center.
"Masturbation conjures up many mvths about its supposedly damaging and debasing nature. Its negative image may be traced as far back as the word's Latin origin. 'Masturbate' is a combination of two Latin words, 'manus' (hand), and 'stuprare' (defile), thus "to defile with the hand."
The built-in notion of shame and uncleanliness implied by the root of the word has
remained in the modern world even though medical authorities agree that masturbation causes no physical or mental harm.
"Masturbation is typical, healthy human behavior," Wade said.
Some people, however, take self-pleasure to the limit and it becomes more of an addiction.
"The only time it might be harmful is when the frequency is such that it impacts the individual's life or the lives of those around them in a negative way." Wade said.
According to the Sinclair Intimacy Institute's study, masturbation is the first sexual act

for most men and women. Men who masturbate tend to do so more often than women do. Men also are more likely than women to report experiencing an orgasm.
The study also found that one major reason many individuals felt guilt or anxiety about masturbation was that religious
teaching said that it was sinful.
Contrary to ancient and popular beliefs, masturbation does not cause acne, lead to unbridled lust, make people go blind or make hair grow on the palms of their hands.
In fact, some experts argue that masturbation improves sexual health by increasing the
individual's understanding of their own body and of what is erotically pleasing to them.
While much of our society feels guilty about masturbation and is afraid of discussing it, others are not as inhibited about enjoying themselves.
Gloria Stuart, the 89-year-old actress and 1930s Hollywood leading woman who was recently rediscovered as an elderly survivor in *Titanic*, was not afraid to talk about masturbation in her autobiography.
"I am devoted to masturbation,
Stuart said. "I had and have no guilt whatsoever when it comes to pleasuring myself."

Date rape in college linked to drugs, alcohol
ARENSBERG'S SHOES
By Erin McHugh
A rape is a rape — even when it is committed by a friend.
Special to the Kansan
The Missouri Department of Health defines acquaintance rape as forced sexual intercourse between people who know each other. If the act occurs in a date situation, it is referred to as a date rape.
Laura Montgomery, coordinator of the sexual assault prevention and education program at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, thinks rape is rape despite technical definitions.
"Most importantly, it is still rape no matter what the title is," Montgomery said. "There can be different names, but any type of rime is your traumatic."
Along with alcohol, the drugs Robynpol and gamma-hydroxybutyrate often are involved in acquaintance raises.
Montgomery said the center reports that 90 percent of rapes on college campuses occur between acquaintances. Seventy percent of rapes between acquaintances involve alcohol.
Rohypnol, or "roofties," is a potent
and fast-acting sedative with effects being noticeable 20 to 30 minutes after digestion. Rohypnol never has been approved for medical use in the United States and causes drowsiness, confusion, impaired motor skills, dizziness, impaired judgment and reduced levels of consciousness.
Rohynpol commonly is found in tablet form and dropped into drinks. Julie Francis, health educator for Watkins Memorial Health Center, said acquaintance rape involving Rohynpol could be avoided by paying close attention to drinks.
"You should never leave a drink unattended," Francis said. "Listen to your instincts because if something is not feeling right, then it is probably not right."
GHB usually is found in liquid form, and the effects of the drug can be noticed 15 minutes after ingestion. Like Rohypnol, GHB usually is dropped into drinks. Both drugs can cause amnesia and death.
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), is a powerful synthetic drug that acts as a depressant on the central nervous system and causes dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, seizures, respiratory depression, intense drowsiness, unconsciousness and coma. GHB has been tested for potential medical uses in the United States but never has been approved for anything outside of FDA-approved research trials.
The American College Health Association recommends ways to prevent acquaintance rape, including using common sense, challenging myths and stereotypes and communicating effectively.
"Be aware of myths," Francis said. "Men and women speak different languages and play games in relationships."
Men and women must communicate clearly in order to prevent false expectations, Francis said. A man's and a woman's expectation at the end of a date may be completely different.
Counseling is available for victims of rape. The Rape Victim Survivor Service is a 24-hour, seven day a week service for survivors of sexual assault, rape or sexual harassment. Survivors can call 841-2345.
Amy Wolf, director of victim services for RVSS, said RVSS offered to help victims in any way possible by accompanying victims

to the hospital, referring victims to counseling services, helping victims with legal issues and being there to listen.
"We have a pager system with four people always having a pager on," Wolf said. "The victim can call headquarters, and they will page one of us to go help the victim."
Rape is considered a level-two person felony in Kansas. Braxton Copley, staff attorney for KU Legal Services, said that rape was considered a serious crime.
Safe sex helps prevent disease, pregnancy
"The sentencing range for those even without a record is between 68 and 77 months," Copley said.

"The only form of safe sex is abstinence," said Aimee Foppe, health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Safe sex does not exist.

However, for most college students, abstinence is not a realistic option. So when society talks about using condoms or sponges for protection, what it is really discussing is "safer" sex.
Counselors at Counseling and Psychological Services said that safer sex means being smart and staying healthy. It means showing respect for your partner and for yourself. Counselors said that safer sex means enjoying sex to the fullest without transmitting or acquiring sexually related infections.
"I'd say about 80 percent [of college students] are [sexually] active," said Ryan Ohalloran, Chillicothe, Mo., senior. "That's just a pure guess—intuition."
Oalloran's guess is not far from the truth. The actual number is 86.1 percent, based on a survey conducted by the Center for Disease Control.
Although obstinence is the only form of birth control that is 100 percent effective, other methods include condoms, spermicide, female condoms and birth control pills. Photo illustration by Christina Neff/KANSAN
Given the high percentage of college students who are sexually active, going through college without acquiring or transmitting a sexual disease could be difficult. Of the 86.1 percent of college students who are sexually active, one in eight will contract a sexually transmitted disease.
The most effective way for students to fight these odds is with lubricated latex condoms. Vaseline or any other oil-based lubricants should not be used with condoms because they cause latex to break down.
Latex condoms protect the user by forming a shield against the bacteria or viruses that cause sexually transmitted diseases.
"Latex condoms are 99 percent effective guarding against both pregnancy and STDs," Foppe said. "But when there's a user malfunction, they are less than 99 percent."
One of the biggest contributors to user malfunction is alcohol, another is hormones. Being too drunk or too excited to put a condom on correctly can cause small tears and harm its effectiveness.
When buying a condom, the user should check if it has an expiration date. If it does have an expiration date, it has been FDA approved. Condoms can be purchased at Watkins, three for 50 cents. Novelty condoms should be avoided because they are not as effective, Foppe said.
The polyurethane female condom, which may be inserted up to eight hours before intercourse, is just as effective as latex condoms in offering protection against STDs, as well as pregnancy. Foppe said. However, male and female condoms should not be used at the same time. The polyurethane and the latex will rub against each other, causing friction, thus tears, then trouble, he said.
After condoms, spermicides are considered the next best birth control method for protection
against STDs, according to the American Social Health Association. Spermicide offers less protection than condoms and is more effective when used along with condoms, not in place of them.
Besides the risk of aquiring or transmitting STDs, another outcome of intercourse can be pregnancy. No birth control method is 100 percent effective in preventing pregnancy.
The diaphragm and the contraceptive sponge are currently two of the most popular methods of preventing pregnancy.
In addition to condoms, spermicides, sponges and cervical caps, there is one other item to be considered for safer sex.
"Communication is vital," Foppe said. "Find out their past sexual history, and get tested if there's a concern. Respect yourself and your partner."
If students have any questions, the department of health promotion and education, located in Watkins, provides one-on-one counseling. Students can make an appointment, just walk in or give call 864-9570 for appointments. The coun-

Sex on the Hill
Watkins offers help for sex problems
Counselors aid students,couples
By Brittaney Parbs Special to the Kansan
The University of Kansas Counseling and Psychological Services wants students to know that they have a place to turn for help with their sex problems.
John Wade is a CAPS staff psychologist and the campus outreach coordinator. Wade's helps raise sexual counseling awareness across campus. He and other CAPS psychologists speak to classes to educate students about the services they offer.
Although CAPS has several
licensed psychologists trained to respond to and treat sexual dysfunction, most patients seek help for anxiety and depression associated with sexual encounters. Many women turn to CAPS for counseling after instances of sexual abuse.
"Unfortunately, you see more rape victims than you hope or want," Wade said. "This kind of thing really affects how rape survivors look at relationships and sex. We try to be here to help."
CAPS also offers counseling for couples.
"We get a lot of couples wanting help with relationships," Wade said.
help win relationships," Wade said. Couples come in with one big problem, but the counselors usually explore the many problems hidden behind the obvious issue, he said.

said that she would take advantage of the counseling if she ever thought she needed it, now that she was aware that CAPS existed.
"I didn't know that KU offered a counseling service until recently. But, if I was having a really hard time with a breakup or something, I think I'd want somebody to talk to
other than just my friends," Rickel said. "Td definitely feel more comfortable going to a campus-sponsored counselor than somebody right out of the phonebook."
CAPS consists of licensed psychologists, social workers, a psychiatrist, graduate psychology interns and other graduate students in training. CAPS is located on the second floor of Watkins Health Center.
Because counseling at CAPS is structured for students, it is relatively cheap. The first session is free and each subsequent, 50-minute session for individuals, couples or groups is $9.

Professor moves beyond reproduction in sex ed class
By Kara Ammon Special to the Kansan
Although most University of Kansas students can explain the reproduction part of sex, many have found through Dennis Dailley's class, Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, that they are chelless when it comes to the relationship aspects of sexuality.
"Getting laid is simple, you don't have to be really bright to do that. What's really tough is to maintain an ongoing relationship over time where sexuality is a vibrant part of that relationship," Dalley, professor of social welfare, said.
The students who want to learn more about sexuality said it was hard to get into Dailey's class, Social Welfare 303, because of its popularity. Dailey said he thought there were so many students interested in his class because of their role models.
"Most students who come to this University know somewhere in their gizzard that they don't know enough about sexuality and relationships," Dailey said. "Because so many (marriages) fail in our culture — 50 percent."
Social Welfare 303 is offered for credit in the fall semester. A noncredit version of the course, sponsored by the Eucumenical Christian Ministries Programs, is offered in the spring. Dailey said the noncredit course covers about half the material from the regular class. The spring course usually attracts about 75 to 100 students, and costs $30.
Dalley said students want to know
more about sex because of the failure of our culture to educate them about more than how to have children.
"Very few students coming into my class have received in high school what professional people call comprehensive sexuality education," he said. "What most students get is reproductive education, which is only a small part of what it means to be a sexual human being."
Dailey said that most students didn't know how sexuality pertained to their own bodies and their lives.
"I don't think they understand that sexuality is an extremely rich idea. It's not just a single sexual behavior, i.e. intercourse. It's much more than that," he said. "They don't quite understand how sexuality gets integrated into long-term relationships."
Students currently enrolled in Dailey's class say they have learned about that aspect of sexuality.
"Yve learned a lot about intimacy and sexuality and yourself. It's not just about straight-up sex," said Paul Soseman. Llena senex.
Others are taking the class to learn more about the distinctions between the sexes and why so many marriages end in divorce.
"I want to know more about the differences between men and women and why they have such a hard time communicating." Almee Martinez, Lawrence junior, said.
Some attribute the attraction of students to the course because of the manner in which the material is presented.
"He tells us the things we want to
hear, not the things we have heard a million times in high school sex education." Amy Henderson, Topeka junior, said.
Henderson said it was easy to relate to Dailey because he spoke so openly and bluntly about sex.
Dailey said he takes a positive approach in educating students about sex. He does not try to frighten people away from sex, but tells them how they can improve it.
"The perspective I take is one that is decidedly sex-positive," he said. "It talks about sexuality, not just in terms of the hurtful things that can happen like STDs, but it focuses on how to make the sexual part of relationships very positive and very pleasurable."
However, his view about sexuality draws opposition. Dalley said
some faculty members do not agree with his class, mainly because of religious beliefs.
"They think I'm trying to promote promiscuity," he said.
Dalebell, he knows his class affects students in their daily lives because he gets so many responses from students. He receives marriage invitations, birth announcements, and even divorce announcements.
Many appreciate the class because Dailey explains how sexuality issues can be applied.
Dalley doesn't want his students to be afraid of sexuality and their bodies.
"Right now, the most important thing I would want my students to know is that sexuality is a natural, normal, wondrous dimension of the human condition," Dalley said.

Religion, threat of regret lead some to abstain
By Jessie Meyer
Special to the Kansan
There are some people who see the best sex as no sex at all — at least for right now.
In a time when teenagers experiment with sexual behavior, it hurts Amanda McMillion, Albuquerque, N.M., sophomore, to encounter women who are having sex before they are married.
"I don't understand why they feel they have to," McMillion said.
Most students who have chosen to abstain from sex until marriage do so because of strong religious beliefs or because they view sexual activity as something precious
People who abstain define sex as more than just sexual intercourse. They see it as a bond, both spiritually and emotionally.
that it should be shared only with a person they truly love.
and enchantment.
"I love God, and God wants me to wait," Iwoan Sadu,神父。
Mead's girlFriend, K.C. Nodgaard, Wichita,
senior, agrees.
Neither intends to have sex until after they are married because of their religious beliefs and the feelings they have for each other.
"We want to keep each other pure," Mead said.
Kristin Field, Bedford, Texas, senior, said
it was Dennis Dalley's class on human sexuality that made her feelings on premarital abstinence stronger. She said she walked away from his class knowing that it would be hard to find someone she could share something as special as sex with. Field said during the class she became more aware of her sexuality, and her views on sex changed a lot.
"I believed what I was taught, that you shouldn't have sex before marriage," Field said. "But it's my decision now."
And making this decision doesn't mean that it's an easy resolution to keep. Those who choose abstinence experience the same urges that everyone else feels.
"It's a difficult thing." Mead said. "Gou gave us passions."
Beside passion and desires associated with relationships, there are other more powerful societal pressures to pair off, hook up and hop into bed. But, Mead and Gearheart both said that sticking to their decisions was much easier when the person other person in the relationship thought the same way.
This decision is not right for everyone, and some say that those who abstain remain minorities in today's society.
"God loves you, whether you abstain or don't abstain." Mead said.
McMillion said that she knew people who
abstained and many who didn't, but they all tried to support everyone's decisions. That doesn't keep her from worrying, though.
"They just do it because they do, and they have regrets," McMillion said. "They feel used or they feel dirty."
Avoiding feelings of regret and shame is part of the reason that McMillion said she has chosen to wait. That, along with a strong belief in her religion, has led her and others to save this kind of intimacy for marriage.
"Just because I am adamant about sexual abstinence doesn't mean that I am against sex," McMillion said. "I just think it's an awesome gift, and it needs to be at the right time."
Culture and media shape foreign views of sex in the United States
By Katie Nelson and Hiroshi Takehara Special to the Kanan
While attending school in the United States, international students get new perspectives on American culture. Americans' views on sex can be difficult for some foreign students to understand.
"The image of America, as portrayed by the media, is that there are people that are very slutty, but the majority aren't," said Monique Melara, Brazil freshman.
She said it was perplexing seeing movies and television shows in Brazil that portrayed life in the United States. Melara thought they were exaggerations. However, once she started attending the University of Kansas, she found that was not necessarily true.
"It seems whatever the media wants, eventually becomes culture here," she said.
Melara said Brazilians were not as conservative as those in the United States, and people in Brazil were a lot more open about sex.
However, openness about sex has a major connection with religion in other countries, said Asma Reman, who recently spent six months in her native country, Pakistan.
Reman said that in the United States and at the University, people's views about sex are more open because of a lack of religious influence.
"With morality issues there isn't that much of a difference between culture and religion," she said. "Modesty is a big issue, and it's not considered modest to talk about sex in the open. Islam is not just a religion, it is a way of life."
"America isn't a religious country," Reman said.
"When you think of America you don't think of Christians. It's a melting pot where one is not required to follow the rules of religion."
Faisal Mirza, Pakistan senior, agreed that openness about sex in U.S. culture was the biggest difference.
"Americans are open-minded, but Pakistani are conservative about having, and talking about, sex," he said.
Pakistan senior
"Modesty is a big issue, and it's not considered modest to talk about sex in the open. Islam is not just a religion, it is a way of life."
Asma Reman
His view on sex comes from his Muslim background, not his own opinion.
Mirza said the seriousness dealing with sexual practices was related to virginity.
But he said religious control on sex was too strict in his country because it oppressed free expression.
"If you want a good marriage, you have to be a virgin," he said.
"I prefer American openness about sex because America is an open society and not based on religion," Mirza said.
He said sex should not be a secret issue.
Although he learned about sex in Pakistan, his visual image of sex came mostly from America and Western countries. He said pornography was not allowed to be aired on television or be sold at bookstores in Pakistan. However, some Pakistani got pornography from underground.
"We should be allowed to express our ideas freely, and sex is one of them," he said.
Junya Naganuma, Tokyo Applied English Center student, sees some differences between the American view and the Japanese view on sex. He said Japanese were more conservative in their view of sex than Americans.
"My culture affects my thinking on sex," he said. Naganuma has been in America for two years. He said he was surprised to see publicity of sexual nature. He said he found sexually-related words and crimes in the American newspapers almost everyday.
"It is hard to read the American newspapers with
out finding sex and rape," he said. "I am not sure of the difference in the number of sexual crimes between America and Japan, but in Japan publishing sexual crimes in the newspaper is very uncommon. And it is hard to find rape in the Japanese newspaper."
He said the amount of sex-crime articles published in the United States were different from the amount published in Japan, so Japanese readers would react differently to the articles.
He said even a small, sexual misconduct would receive nation-wide publicity because Japanese were less accustomed to sexual crimes than Americans.
"If I find an article on a sexual crime in the Japanese newspaper my eyes widen in surprise," he said.
He said although sex was a private issue and Japanese tended to keep sexual issues secret, pornography and videotapes were more accessible in Japan than in America. He said that the Japanese regulation on airing pornography was less strict than American regulation.
"Some Japanese broadcasting stations a nude woman not only at midnight but also during the daytime," he said.

Sex on the Hill
Public displays of affection irritate some
By Katie Eagan
Special to the Kansan
Public displays of affection, otherwise known as PDA, are seen in restaurants, movies and at parties.
But do these displays happen during the school day at the University of Kansas?
Maggie Bauer, Wichita junior, said she had witnessed instances of PDA on campus and even during class.
"My freshman year, I took Human Sexuality, and there was always this couple in front of me who would hug and squeeze each other during class," Bauer said. "I ended up finding out that they both worked at Priscilla's, too."
Bauer said she was distracted in her class because of the couple in front of her. She said that PDA really bothered her, and it was not necessary to display affection in front of other people.
"Hugs are all right with me, but anything past a little peck on the cheek is too far." Bauer said. "I realize that affection is part of being in a relationship with someone, but it is not something that needs to be for everyone's viewing pleasure."
Jason Fulford, Chicago freshman, said he had also seen couples displaying their affection on campus.
"I was walking to class a couple weeks ago, and right outside Fraser there was a couple
making out," Fulford said. "It didn't bother me that much. I just thought it was a little weird."
Fulford said he could tolerate some aspects of PDA, like hand holding and hugging, but he agreed that kissing on campus was pushing it.
Like Bauer, many students feel that people who display their affection publicly are disrespectful to others, especially in a school setting.
"I would not want to make other people feel uncomfortable by my acts of affection with my girlfriend," said Jon Garner, Cape Girardeau, Mo. senior. "I just don't think it is appropriate for two people to be going at it when other people are trying to learn or study."
Other students and faculty do not feel that PDA is a problem at the University.
"I have not really seen that many cases of PDA," said Natalie Dykstra, graduate teaching assistant. "There have been people I've seen on campus holding hands, but I don't think that is that bad at all."
Margee Lancaster, Edina, Minn., freshman, said the University did not have an obscene amount of people kissing and making out on campus.
"At my high school, I would always see couples making out in the halls, and it was sort of disgusting," Lancaster said. "I think a hug or a kiss good-bye is OK, but anything beyond that is inappropriate."

Sex on the Hill
SEX
Cybersex has become a new medium for sexual release and relationships. Some students claim it is perversion, but others argue that it the safest form of sex. Chad Cumminns/KANSAN
Web surfers voyage into cybersex fantasy land
By Amy Train
Special to the Kansan
Flick on the computer and jump to a sexual chat sight. Cybersex is a new medium for sexual release and relationships.
"For many, it fulfills a sexual need that isn't being met through normal sexual relations," said James Anders, author of Complete Idiot's Guide to Sex on the Net.
"Or they may have sexual fantasies that they are embarrassed to discuss with their real life partner and find that they can safely enact them in cyberspace, without repercussions. Cybersex fulfills different needs for different people."
To some, cybersex is a perversion.
"Suggesting that it is a perversion is ridiculous," Anders said. "Cybersex isn't a perversion any more than masturbation. Perhaps the simplest way to understand cybersex is to look at it for what it is: masturbation on the Internet with a willing partner, expressed in typed words in a chat window, using microphones, and/or with desktop video cameras."
"A cybersex scene can be as arousing as a real one," said Cleo Odzer, author of Virtual Spaces; Sex and the Cyber Citizen. But not everyone agrees that cybersex is a good idea.
But not everyone agrees that cybersex is a good idea.
"It would not make for a good relationship," said Josh Brestail, Wamego junior.
Breault said that if you cannot be active in together in person, then it is not a true relationship and that engaging in sexual relations through words does not make sense.
Anders said some relationships last for months or even years without leaving the
realm of cyberspace, but a few progress to meetings in real life.
"When fantasy meets reality, it's anybody's guess as to whether a real, successful relationship can ensue," he said. "A few work out; many don't."
Breault said that people do not really know each other until they meet in person. He said has known people that have been disappointed when they met someone that they had an Internet relationship with.
Anders said that cybersex seems to be on the increase.
"Since it is frequently treated as fantasy, many people seem willing to give it a try," Anders said. "Since there is no exchange of bodily fluids, cybersex may be the ultimate form of safe sex for the millennium."
the majority of people who participate in cybersex, Anders said, are looking for one
or more of the following: sex, love, affection, attention or simply entertainment.
"People I know have had relationships over the computer, and they have lied about their age and everything else sometimes," Breault said.
Odzer said the passions, jealousies, obsessions and needs expressed via the Internet are no less strong than their real-life counterparts because they trigger the same internal emotional states.
"Part of all relationships exist only in our minds and that is what is undeniable in cyber-passion," Odzer said. "When we don't know what our love object looks like, have never heard his or her voice, can't be sure of age or even gender — then we realize that the emotions come from within ourselves."

Oral sex not intercourse, students say
By Mike Hoffman Special to the Kansan
For some, including the president of the United States, there is more than one definition of sex.
Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, said oral sex did not constitute sexual intercourse.
"However, it is a form of sexual expression just as the act of vaginal sex itself." Dailey said. "Sex itself means the meeting of the genitals."
Most students agree that oral sex is indeed a sexual act, but it is not the same as sex itself. One student, John, said that from a religious standpoint, the only point of sex is to procreate, and you cannot get anyone pregnant from oral sex.
Scott, a junior, said it could even be a form of birth control.
"A lot of times oral sex can give people plenty of pleasure, much like vaginal sex would, but it is reassuring to know that there are not as many potential consequences," he said. "But, it doesn't have that same sensation as vaginal sex."
If the general consensus is that oral sex is not sex, why is it called oral sex? According to one student, it is called sex because a person climaxes during the act. However, that doesn't mean that it is sexual intercourse.
Although oral sex might not be considered sexual intercourse, there is still the possibility of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. According to www.stopais.org, the San Francisco Department of Public Health reported that in a recent study three men had contracted HIV from oral sex.
The Web site www.saferesx.org reported that the American Association of Physicians for Human Rights said that people with gum disease, susceptibility to ulceration or bruising in the mouth or gums and a habit of brushing their teeth before or after oral sex were more likely to get infected by sexually transmitted diseases.

Sex on the Hill
Sex sells, money talks for students involved in adult-entertainment
By Stacey Taylor Special to the Kansan
It's about money, not sex. Cash is the driving force behind two University of Kansas students' decision to work in the adult entertainment industry.
A junior who goes by the stage name of Angel took her current job as an exotic dancer because she wanted to raise money to pay for a trip to London for New Year's Eve.
Rod Shivers, Overland Park senior, took his job at Priscila's, a local novelty shop, because the store was hiring and he needed the work
In both cases, the students sometimes ran into uncomfortable situations.
Angel, who works at the Outhouse at 1823 N. 1500 Rd., has been dancing for about nine months. She also worked at Juicers for a short time. She doesn't like her job, but she said she hasn't quit because earning the money is easy.
Angel said she had a hard time with people knowing her profession. Her parents have no idea she dances for money, and Angel does not want
her real name in print. In the bar, the women use stage names. Real names are revealed only in employment application files.
"The job and the money are very adicting. If you feel like you need $200, you can make it in one night," she said.
Angel said that her nightly earnings vary from $200 to $300, depending on the night of the week. Even though she gets along with the women at work, she said she sometimes feels out of place because she is the only student dancer at the Outhouse. Most of the other dancers are married or have children, she said.
While on stage, Angel strips naked by the end of her two-song set. Besides dancing, $10 buys a no-touch lap dance and $20 allows the customer to touch her above the waist. The dancers also use various parts of their bodies to take cash from the customers.
Angel said that dancing has affected her relationship with men. She said she's had trouble dating since she started dancing.
"It tampers with your view of
With the hope of escaping the business, she once took a temporary job waiting tables, but she was unable to adjust to the sudden change in income.
men," she said.
"It's pretty different when I see someone in here one night and then in class the next day," she said.
She plans to quit after she takes the trip to London, but she says she may come back if she needs the money.
Shivers worked as a cashier at Priscilla's for about a year and a half.
"I needed a job for Christmas, so I applied," he said.
He often helped customers with questions, but he would not help them until he was asked.
"When it was necessary, I suggestively sold," he said.
Priscilla's merchandise varies from adult novelty items to sex toys. The store also has a large selection of adult movies and magazines. Shivers earned $6 an hour.
When he was hired, Shivers said that he had no idea what the job would involve. He was comfortable working at Priscilla's and became used to the environment after a short

time. Shivers said that he realized what he would be dealing with when he sold a sex toy to two women.
Shivers took a lighhearted approach to working at Priscilla's. He said that he saw the store as more of an oversized novelty store than a pornography store. He said that because of Priscilla's corporate ties the store is not as explicit as other stores such as Erotic City in Kansas City, Mo.
"It was more fun than work," he said. "To me it was more like working for a Toys-R-US for adults."

Sex on the Hill
Regular exercise,not gimmicks will enhance sexual satisfaction
By Sara Shepherd Special to the Kansan
Exercising your penis won't make it any bigger. Sorry, guys.
But there are ways for both men and women to enhance sexual performance and pleasure by practicing specific exercises and staying generally physically fit.
"Being in good shape is likely to in lots of ways - enhance the experience," said Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare.
Dailey, who teaches a human sexuality course, described different ways that physical condition could influence sexual experiences, including isolated exercises, flexibility and all-around physical fitness.
The Kegel Exercises
In 1952, gynecologist Arnold Kegel devised a set of exercises to help women who experienced incontinence following childbirth. The Kegel exercises strengthen the pubococcygeal muscle, by contracting and relaxing the muscle in a prescribed manner.
But Kegel found that the exercises improved orgasm ability, too.
Physiologically, the experience of orgasm occurs from a set of rhythmic contractions of muscles.
Dailey said the good feelings associated with orgasm are more likely to occur in a well-toned muscle, as opposed to an out-of-shape, flabby one. It is like any other muscle in
the body - toned muscles equal better performance.Men may benefit from Kegel exercises in the same way women do. Kegel exercises involve flexing the muscle that stops the flow of urine
Sexercise
Some product descriptions promise that performing the prescribed exercises will transform your sexual life into an amazing ecstatic adventure or enable you to discover how both men and women can have orgasms that last for an hour or more.
Orgasms that last more than an hour?
No way, Dailey said. He said most sites like these simply are designed by someone trying to make money quickly.
"Let me put it in these terms," Dalley said. "Sex sells."
At another site, you can purchase Newman K. Lin's report from his study on multiple orgasms. Topics in the book include sexexercises (sex-exercise), training the vaginal muscle, the low abdomen exercise for sexual muscle power for men and women and a demonstration of vaginal muscle power - moving an egg and cutting a banana.
These are more realistic. Dalley said it was actually possible for a woman to strengthen her pubococcygeal muscle enough to sever a banana. Though many exercises are ineffective, they won't hurt anyone, Dalley said.
A person's flexibility also may spice things up in the bedroom.
Flexibility
All one has to do is picture any of the acrobatic sexual positions illustrated in the Kama Sutra, which Dailey called one of the earliest sex manuals. The Kama Sutra is an ancient Sanskrit treatise that set rules for sensual pleasure, love and marriage in accordance with Hindu law.
Even if couples engage in less acrobatic positions than those depicted in the Kama Sutra, Dalley said flexibility could add a broader range of motion with which to experiment, and it allowed for more creativity in sexual positions.
Self-Esteem
Besides increasing muscle tone and flexibility, Dailey said being physically fit enhanced a person's subjective self-concept. Naturally, increased confidence affects people's sex lives.
"People who feel good about their bodies share their bodies more pleasurably," Dailey said.
A 1962 study by D.C. Frauman found a direct relationship between physical well-being and the level of and desire for sexual activity. The people who were in poor shape had the least sexual activity and were also the least satisfied. Those who were generally fit had the most rewarding sex lives.

Enjoy Sex Games All Night Long
By Clare McLellan Special to the Kansan
Lawrence contributed to the sexual revolution
David Awbrey, student body president of the University of Kansas during the 1969-70 school year, remembers the advent of the sexual revolution in Lawrence.
"The baby boomers were coming of age just when contraception was becoming more available, and for a brief moment, everything came together in a volatile mix," Awbrey said. "When I came to KU in 1966, it was very insular, and when I left it was all drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll."
But when many people think of the sexual revolution, images of bras burning beside draft cards and hippies swaying to the music at Woodstock come to mind — not people in small Kansas towns. So why was Lawrence unique?
In her new book, "Sex in the Heartland," Beth Bailey addresses the issues of the sexual revolution as they developed in a midwestern town, Lawrence. She shows in her book that KU students were very involved the events of the revolution. Perhaps students were not involved in as visible ways as radicals on the coasts. But if not for people such as those in Lawrence, what we now know as the sexual revolution would not have happened.
"I wanted to examine the way the sexual revolution changed people's daily lives and not just the usual suspects," Bailey said. "The revolution has many strands."
Bailey writes that many factors contributed to what came to be known as the sexual revolution, and most were not directly linked to free expressions of sex. The revolution was just the natural outgrowth of these elements coming together at the same time.
"All kinds of people from musicians to poets circulated through Lawrence, which made and still make it a much more vibrant place where things could and do happen." Bailey said.
She said she was not using Lawrence as an example of typical Kansas or midwestern town to but to show people that the revolution was more mainstream
"I wanted to examine the way the sexual revolution changed people's daily lives and not just the usual suspects. The revolution has many strands."

than once thought
Awbrey also said that being on the interstate brought a lot of people to Lawrence, allowing a varied culture. He said the University drew a certain group of students today as it did 25 or even 75 years ago: Students that are willing to be involved in social issues.
"The type of students KU attracts are interested in humanities," he said. "They tend to be the brightest kids from the brightest high schools, and it's the same today as it was when I went here and when my mom went here in the '30s."
IN THE HEART OF THE MAYBLEY
BETH BAILEY
The legacies of the revolution that are inherent in society today often get taken for granted, especially by college students. Up until the late 1960s women still had curfews, homosexuality was viewed as an illness and non-married couples living together were unheard of.
It is important to understand how supervised lives were in the 1960s, Bailey said.
"Today, having sex is a personal choice, and no one is trying to make those decisions for you," she said.
"Prior to 1974, I could have been incarcerated because of my sexual orientation, so it's hard for me not to see the tangible effects," she said. "I feel I owe a lot to those who fought for equal
Christine Robinson, Lawrence doctoral student in sociology and member of Queers and Allies, recognizes the importance of what the sexual revolution did for people of all sexual orientations. The revolution made it possible for gays to organize and lobby, which led to a lot of social changes, she said.
Contributed art
rights."
The birth control pill not only facilitated more sexual activity but was a sign of the women's liberation movement. Women who were not necessarily advocates of the sexual revolution fought for freer access to the pill because they wanted more control of their lives and their bodies, Bailey said in her book.
Tim Miller, professor of religious studies, said the revolution made a lot of things more publicly acceptable.
"Prior to the time of the revolution, if unmarried people were having sex, they were keeping it secret, and homosexuality up to the late 1960s was very humhush," he said. "The impact of the revolution is very substantial today."
Women today do not have to worry about ruining their reputation if they have sex, as they did in the early to mid 1960s, Bailey said. Unmarried couples can live together if they choose to do so, and they won't get kicked out of the University for it.
"The revolution made fundamental changes in the way people think," she said.
And we are facing the results today. Miller said.
"There was a great sense in the '60s of living in a time of change," he said. "And what happened in the '60s has never gone away."

Weighty issues
Celebrities and sedentary Americans tip both ends of an unhealthy scale
★
By Heather Woodward Kansan campus Editor
hey are the American version of royalty.
Although they lack crowns, they adorn themselves with jewels and varnish. They are beautiful.
lavish evening wear. They are celebrities the people who reside on slick magazine covers and glowing television sets.
And the female members of that elite group are thinning down, at times at the cost of a sound diet, according to an Oct. 18 article in People magazine. The article, which compares older photos of stars such as Jennifer Aniston and Gwynth Paltrow with photos from this year, reveals an apparent, and not necessarily healthy, difference.
Meanwhile the rest the country is getting fatter.
About a week after the People article, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study about the increase in Americans who are overweight and obese.
More than half of adults are overweight and one in five adults is obese, or more than 30 percent heavier than ideal body weight. The numbers for women are a bit lower: 46 percent are overweight and 19 percent are obese.
Being obese is not healthy — the study showed that 300,000 people die each year from weight-related problems. Obese individuals are more prone to heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, bone and joint diseases, gall bladder disorders and sleep apnea.
Joseph Donnelly, professor and chairman of the health, sport and education science department, conducts studies on weight management issues. He said it was predicted that half of the population would be obese by 2020.
"There has been an increase of 10 percent obesity in 10 years." Donnelly said. "There is no other condition or disease that has ever made that kind of change. It's so incredible."
He attributed the trend to less exercise and the abundant availability of
"We are genetically
wired to be physi c al six to
eight hours a day." Donnellly said. "Only 20 percent choose to become active every day."
Among that 20 percent are actresses, the People article said, who tend to work out more and eat less than the average person.
To combat the pattern of less exercise in the general population, Donnelly said government officials had discussed such options as denying federal funding to housing projects that do not include sidewalks, building parking lots for public officials at least 500 feet from their buildings and increasing the tax on food, especially fast food.
But beyond sheer willpower, there are no guarantees that people will change their habits.
Melissa Wilson, Garden City Junior, said she thought stress contributed to obesity.
"I know when I'm stressed, I'm more likely to eat chocolate than go out and exercise." Wilson said. "I think people view exercise as an inconvenience."
Ann Chapman, a registered dieitian who works at Watkins Health Center, said she agreed that increased obesity was caused by less daily physical activity.
"People are more sedentary," she said. "It's not because of increased food intake or caloric intake. We have lifetimes today that decrease our physical activity. We have elevators, escalators and remotes, all kinds of remotes."
That lifestyle means more pounds and a more distorted image of what those pounds signify as the media ideal becomes more unattainable. Chapman said that according to the Eating Disorder Awareness Program, 80 percent of healthy weight teen-age females saw themselves as fat.
"The images portrayed by the media are hard on all women's self-esteem," Chapman said. "It's becoming more
and more unrealistic,
which increases women's anxiety
level. The m o d e l they're aspir ing to be is becom ing skin nier and skinnier."
Women at the University of Kansas are no exception. Melissa Wilson, who is a resident assistant in Ellsworth Hall,
image was an issue she and other RAs were concerned about to the extent that they were planning to have a forum about it in December.
"It's something that even girls at this level deal with," Wilson said. "Women see successful women as those skinny models, and they see smart women as those skinny models. Unfortunately, the body types that we are exposed to are pretty unrealistic."
Tamara Falicov, acting assistant professor of theater and film, said the media ideal was a dangerous one that had been growing since the 1980s. It has been epitomized recently with speculation about Ally McBeal star, Calista Flockhart, suffering from an eating disorder.
"Models like Kate Moss in Calvin Klein ads show women, grown women, who have bodies like little girls," Falicov said. "What I don't know is whether Hollywood perpetuates these images, or whether it's a reflection."
Either way, Falicov said she saw her students play out Hollywood's version of attractive femininity in their scripts and productions.
"I'm aware of students' characterization of the relationships between women and men," Falicov said. "There is a tendency to pick glamorous women for the main role. I don't know if they're consciously or subconsciously perpetuating those images in their own work. But I've never seen anything that questioned the representation of women and men."
Not all Hollywood images are pencil thin—take Roseanne or Rosie O'Donnell for example. Both Oprah Winfrey and Ricki Lake have struggled for years with their weight. And Camryn Manheim, an overweight star
of NBC's The Practice dedicated her
1998 Emmy Award to "all the fat girls." Falicov said she thought Manheim was a role model for people who do not fit the Hollywood stereotype.
"She's breaking the taboo and going against the grain," Falicov said. "She's someone who's holding up fatness and is in Hollywood, and she's not ignoring her body. She's a role model for women who don't look like Barbie."
But, Donnelly said,overweight people were more likely to be discriminated against for jobs and college entrance.
It's not a disease you can hide " he said
FAT FACTS
62.3 percent of men are overweight.
46.6 percent of women are overweight.
18.8 percent of men are obese.
19.3 percent of women are obese.
African American women have the highest prevalence of being overweight: 64.5 percent.
Hispanic women are second with 56.8 percent overweight.
Caucasian women are third with 43 percent.
Among men, overweight estimates are about the same for African American , Hispanic and Caucasian: all between 62 and 64 percent.
The prevalence of being overweight or obese also is related to the level of educational attainment among U.S. adults, especially among women.
60 percent of women who have not graduated from high school are overweight.
49 percent of female high school graduates are overweight.
29 percent of women who earned post-graduate college
29 percent of women who earned post-graduate college degrees are overweight.

Bomb threat disrupts classes
(USPS 650-640)
Police search three buildings for explosive
By Michael Terry and Katie Hollar writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writers
The threat of a bomb yesterday afternoon at Snow Hall didn't scare Kyle Koch. The Shawnee freshman did not evacuate — he kept on studying inside.
"We have a test in 10 minutes," he said. "I guess my GPA is more important."
Koch's attitude was typical of many University of Kansas students and faculty displaced by yesterday's bomb threat. The one-hour search of three campus buildings generated more annoyance than fear.
At 3:23 p.m., a secretary at Bailey Hall received a call from an unidentified male. He said he overheard several people talking about a possible bomb at one of three locations: Snow, Wescoe or Hashinger halls.
The secretary notified the KU Public Safety Office, which dispatched officers to each site to investigate.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said the University had a policy for dealing with bomb threats. The officers followed this policy yesterday, he said, working to notify department heads, checking the buildings for suspicious devices and accommodating classes that needed to relocate.
Department heads decided whether classes could be dismissed. Several classes took advantage of the warm weather and continued outside.
Gloria Prothe, department of math administrative assistant, said her department alerted all professors about the threat. Prothe said individual professors decided whether to evacuate.
Chris Souillerigaut, Lawrence graduate student, dismissed his French 110 class from Wescoe as soon as he heard.
At 4:30 p.m., the search ended.
Malien said the next step was an investigation tracing the phone call.
Mailen said he was unsure of any connection between the three buildings, and this was the first bomb threat this semester.
"I feel a little unsafe now that housing wouldn't at least come around and notify us of the threat."
Topeka freshman
Jeff Brandsted
Most bomb threats at the University are false alarms, Mailen said. He cited students wanting to get out of an exam as a possible motive.
But a bomb threat is no guarantee that a test or a class will get canceled. Mailen said police had backup rooms available at all times for any classes displaced by an evacuation.
A speech therapy phonetics lab took advantage of the backup space, said Jill Long, Meriden junior. Her class moved down the Hill to Haworth Hall.
Jeff Brandsted, Topeka freshman and Hashinger resident, said that he was not aware a bomb threat had occurred. He was in his room at the time of the search
"I feel a little unsafe now that housing wouldn't at least come
around and notify us of the threat," Brandsted said. "I would at least like to have the opportunity to evacuate if I wanted."
Hashinger employees would not comment on the procedures taken.
Yesterday afternoon, both students and faculty at Wescoe and Snow said the threat of an explosion didn't worry them.
Mike Dennis, lecturer in communication studies, said when he worked at Purdue University last semester, bomb threats happened every other day. Dennis went outside to check on his wife, then returned to his office inside Wescoe
“It’s in the middle of a dull day anyway,” Dennis said.
Jessica Gillispie, Baldwin senior and student assistant in the department of history, remained at her desk during the search.
"I guess I'm just not in the mood to take this seriously," Gillispie said. "I get off at 4:30. I'll take my chances."
Rob Dwyer, Augusta junior, sat outside Snow Hall yesterday smoking a cigarette and waiting for the police to leave.
"I don't think there's really a bomb," he said. "I'm sure someone's having a good laugh right now."

Professors battle commercial note-takers
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Nathan Willis
In an ongoing conflict with online commercial note-taking companies, University of Kansas professors are winning a few battles — but the tide of the war may be turning against them.
More companies are joining the competition to take class notes and provide them for free to students on the Internet, said Mathieu Deflem, an assistant professor of sociology at Purdue University who is leading a national fight against online note-taking ventures.
"It began about a year ago with a few companies and a few universities," Deflem said. "Now it's 10 companies with universities across the nation. In that sense, it's becoming a very extensive problem."
Despite complaints from professors and a University policy that forbids notetaking companies from entering classrooms without the instructors' permission, note-taking companies continue to have a strong presence at the University.
Juliet Kaarbo, associate professor of political science, said she wasn't aware that online note taker allstudents.com was taking notes in her Introduction to International Politics class and posting them on its site.
"They did not ask me." Kaarbo said.
"I'm not happy about that."
She said she would ask the company to withdraw from her class and would seek out which of the students in the 150-person class had been taking notes for the company.
Similar tactics resulted in success for Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, when allstudents.com listed his course as one it would take notes for during the semester.
"I asked my class if someone was taking notes for them," Dailey said. "The one person who was taking notes called the company and canceled working for them."
However, Dailey said, repeated attempts to contact the company were in vain.
Both Dailey and Defem said they did not think the note-taking companies took the instructors' opinions into account.
But Jennifer Keesler, an allstudents.com representative, said that was not true.
"The general policy is this: our utmost concern is for professors," Keesler said. "We'll try to work it out, and we'll absolutely take notes down if the professor requests it."
Keesler said the reason allstudies.com hadn't asked professors if it could enter their classes was that it been unaware of the University's

police, without commercial note-takers. She said the company would ask professors first in the future.
Deflam said the University's policy made it easier to battle note-taking companies at Kansas than at most universities, which don't have such policies. Still, he said, legal battles would be inevitable if the spread of online notetaking companies continued.
"If you want to challenge this legally, it's a real hassle," he said. "But legal recourse may be the most effective strategy left."

'50s Jayhawk formidable force as '90s governor
J. D. C. M.
Bv Chad Bettes
Opinion editor
The day I interviewed and observed Arizona Gov. Jane Dee Hull on the job in Phoenix, the local newspaper decided to nickname her Mrs. Mum — "mum" as she in mum's the word. The paper said she was turning down all requests for news interviews after a national controversy surrounded her earlier in the week.
Fortunately, our meeting was still on,
and during the time I spent with Hull,
I did see a little of Mrs. Mum. But I also saw a state's chief executive, a former teacher, a grandmother, a political superstar — and a Jayhawk — all wrapped up in one.
She's a little busy. Meetings, receptions, politics, speeches and more meetings. Before talking to me, Hull already had dropped by a farewell reception for friends at a local business. Then she had meetings with constituents.
When it was my turn, the governor was half an hour behind schedule. Hull came from across the office to greet me and said, "Sorry, it's been one of those kind of days around here."
Arizona Republican Gov. Jane Dee Hull sits at her desk at her office in the Arizona Executive Office Building. Hull spent her childhood and early adult life in Kansas, including four years at the University of Kansas, before moving to Arizona in the 1950s. Photo by Chad Bettles/KANSAN
The voice strikes you unexpectedly. It's deep, sandy and dry, so fitting of a governor of Arizona, where the desert terrain makes up much of the state. But the voice is not what you expect from someone so small, someone who lists "granny" on her resume.
Confident but warm. Petite but strong. Get-down-to-business type. On the policy side, Hull names education, the economy and the preservation of Arizona's natural beauty as her priorities.
Life quickly changed for Hull when she came to the University of Kansas in 1953 to study journalism. She had been the editor of her high school newspaper, a member of the yearbook staff and Quill and Scroll. Also the daughter of a newspaperman, the choice seemed natural.
But Hull found little time for journalism and extracurricular activities. She had found love in the form of Terry Hull, her high school sweetheart and a physician-to-be. Married in the first year of college, Hull and her husband had two children by the time she graduated with a bachelor's degree in education.
Jane Dee Hull, 64, is a Republican governor and self-described conservative. Since she was born and reared in Kansas, perhaps that is not such a surprise. Her hometown was Mission, and her high school was Shawnee Mission High School
— in the '50s when the town was still a sleepy suburb with one high school.
"A combination of knowing that I was married with two kids and probably more coming and it was a better life to be a teacher," Hull said.
Why the switch from journalism to education?
Being busy seems to be a lifelong theme of Hull's, especially at the University.
"I barely remember it," she said. "The only claim to fame I had in college is we lived down the street from Wilt Chamberlain."
She offered other University remembrances but of a different kind. Her grandmother was a housemom for a KU fraternity, and her father's family was from Lawrence.
Hull said her family was ready for change after Terry graduated from medical school and she taught elementary school for several years in Kansas City. So they made a big change, moving to the Navajo Nation in Arizona. There, Terry joined the Public Health

"There's a whole lot of mythology out there about the letter among non-National Merits," Wick said. "I'm hearing so much about it."
Advisers deny merit scholars treated specially
Despite perceptions among the student body, National Merit Scholars aren't receiving many special enrollment privileges, said faculty who advise them.
An Oct. 13 letter from Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost, informed the merit scholars that if they weren't able to enroll in the classes they needed, they could get a special National Merit completion form. The form allowed the merit scholars to change their schedules before the first add/drop period begins Nov. 19.
The letter said nothing about merit scholars getting into closed classes but that was still the impression many students had, said Sandra Wick, associate director of the University Honors Program.
In the letter, merit scholars are told to go to the Honors Program in Nunemaker Hall or the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center for further help planning their schedules.
Wick said this further advising, far from being a special privilege, was offered to all students who couldn't enroll in the classes they needed. The only advantage for the merit scholars was the opportunity to change their schedules before the first add/drop period.
So far, Wick said, merit scholars who had enrollment problems were rare.
"What's interesting to me is that Diana Carlin's office put in writing things that are available for any student at KU." she said.
The special completion form was not a closed class opener, Wick said. All students — even students with the special letter — must talk to professors individually to enroll in a full class.
Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said her office had seen only five National Merit completion forms by yesterday afternoon.
Tuttle also emphasized that extra advising was available for all students with enrollment difficulties.
"I do this kind of thing all the time," she said. "I would do that for any student, in fact."
Michelle Sippel, Sutton, Neb., junior, is a member of Wick's Honors Western Civilization I discussion section.
Sippel, who is not a merit scholar, said most of her classmates thought the merit scholars would receive preferential treatment.
Jonathan Harclerode, Emporia senior and merit scholar, said he didn't pay much attention to the letter when he received it.
"It didn't seem like it was any different from what was already in place," he said. "It didn't seem like it would change anything for me."

Peace Corps to recrumi volunteers in Union
Working for the Peace Corps has been called the toughest job you'll ever love.
Today, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the fourth floor lobby in the Kansas Union and at 4:30 p.m. in the International Room at the Kansas Union, representatives of the Peace Corps will be looking to increase the number of volunteers.
President Clinton and Congress recently passed an $18 million budget increase to double the number of Peace Corps volunteers within the next year. In an attempt to gain 10,000 volunteers, the Peace Corps is traveling to college campuses to recruit prospective members.
Jeff Martin, public affairs specialist for the Denver area office, said of the 82 volunteers from Kansas, 50 had graduated from the University of Kansas. He said he thought the people at the University were representative of the typical Peace Corps volunteer.
"The people from Kansas and KU in particular are a kind of outdoors group." Martin said. "They have a real sense of adventure and a commitment to community. That's just the kind of person we want."
Martin said the Peace Corps needed volunteers from all areas, despite the common assumption that it just wanted doctors.
"We're opening our doors," Martin
said. "People think it's so tough to get into and sure, we're looking for qualified people, but we're looking for people in every area."

The Peace Corps sponsors about 6,500 volunteers in 77 countries.
Group hopes surveys will help women's issues
The Commission on the Status of Women is trying to find out through surveys what issues are important to female students.
Jane Stoever, Overland Park senior, said the group was forming telephone surveys. The group planned to consult faculty and staff from departments such as political science for help in constructing the surveys.
Erin Simpson, Lenexa junior who is involved with the surveys, said the results would be used to transform the commission into an umbrella group. The commission then would be able to coordinate programming and be a research clearinghouse for other campus groups, such as Working Against Violence Everywhere and the Women's Empowerment Action Coalition.
"It needs to be responsible to the needs of women." Simpson said.
The national Commission on the Status of Women was established in 1946 by the United Nations. Simpson said the group was established at the University of Kansas during the feminist movement of the 1970s.
"It's unique compared to others around the country in that it's focused on women students," Simpson said.
The commission will meet again at 4 p.m. Monday in the Kansas Union.

Kansan advertising staff to hold open house
The Kansan advertising staff will have an open house at 5:30 tonight to recruit new staff members for the spring of 2000 semester.
Cookies and punch will be served at the gathering, where visitors can talk with current staff members, pick up applications, learn about the positions available and ask questions. The open house will be at 121 Stauffer-Flint Hall.
"It's really just a real informal way of telling people what we do," said Brandi Bran, Kansan business manager.
Shauntae Blue, who will take charge as business manager in the spring, said the event was open to students in all majors. Advertising staff members also gain valuable experience, she said.

Gingrich aide admits to six-year love affair
NATION
ATLANTA — The congressional aide linked romantically to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has admitted that their affair began six years ago, while he still was married, Gingrich's lawyer says.
NICKLEBURY
Attorney Randy Evans said Callista Bisek, 33, made the admission under oath during a deposition Tuesday.
Gingrich was still married when he began affair
Bisek told Gingrich's attorneys that the relationship began in November 1993, more than a year before Gingrich became House speaker, Evans said.
"I don't think that anybody's proud of the existence of the relationship," the attorney said. "But I think, given the circumstances here, it's a little different, where you had a legal separation and something developed between two people."
at the time, but Evans conceded that the relationship continued even after the Gingrichs were reconciled and Gingrich assumed the speakers in 1995.

Professor of classics complains tampon dispensers are not refilled
By Erinn R. Barcomb
Elizabeth Banks is concerned that vending machines aren't being filled, but she's not interested in Coke or candy.
Kansan staff writer
The associate professor of classics is concerned that major buildings on campus, such as Wescoin and Strong halls, do not keep sanitary napkin and tampon dispensers full. Banks' complaints were with the dispensers at the second floor women's bathroom in Wescoe and at the first floor women's bathroom in Strong.
Even though she is at an age when the issue doesn't affect her, Banks said she was concerned that the reason the machines weren't being filled was because of the potentially embarrassing topic.
"You've got all of these men in suits involved in the process," she said. "Talking about anything messy like a sanitary napkin must be embarrassing. It's an ordinary necessity."
Banks said a colleague had told her about the
problem.
"My move is to let it be public," she said. "If they got negative publicity, they might find a way to have this very simple matter taken care of."
Banks said she had written a letter to Assistant Provost Richard Givens several months ago. She said the machines still hadn't been filled.
Givens said when he received the letter about two months ago, he took action by contacting Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations.
A representative for facilities operations said, however, it was not responsible for stocking the machines. Since the University of Kansas made a deal with Coca-Cola, Treat America has been in charge of filling the dispensers. Prior to the deal, Memorial Corporation, which owns the Kansas Union, was responsible.
The KU Treat America representative could not be reached yesterday for comment.

Senate eliminates subcommittee
Groups to apply to media board for future funding
By Chris Borniger writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Student Senate abolished the Alternative Media subcommittee last night, but publications looking for funding could seek another route.
Sponsors of the legislation that eliminated the subcommittee reached a compromise with other senators which would allow organizations to instead apply for money from the Student Media Board, which allocates money to the Kansan and radio station KJHK under the Student Media fee.
Drew Thompson, one of the bill's sponsors, said publications typically applied for lineitem or block allocation funding.
The subcommittee, he said, was a legislative loophole.
"Basically, we're trying to correct a mistake," he said. "It was
mukoor politics way of getting things funded. It seems to make sense to put all student publications under the jurisdiction of one board."
$3 media fee.
Mark Bradshaw, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said the new process allow fledgling groups funding.
Senate rules and regulations prohibit Senate from allocating funds to any partisan political organization. Because the board isn't under Senate's jurisdiction, however, such organizations can receive money.
"I definitely don't want to increase the Student Media Fee," he said. "They said they wanted

to close the back door when all they did was open the front door." Senate also indefinitely postponed a vote on amending the University of Kansas' racial and ethnic harassment policy.
Marlon Marshall, engineering senator and legislation sponsor, said the amendment's sponsors wanted more time to review the proposed policy with attorneys to ensure that the policy would be constitutional. He said Senate probably wouldn't vote on the final amendment until next semester.
Ashley Udden, law senator, said postponing consideration of the amendment was a good decision legally.
Aravind Muthukrishnan, college senator, said the amendment shouldn't have passed
In other business, Senate approved bills to:

require student senators to be enrolled in at least one credit hour at the University of Kansas.
Restructure how six student organizations receive funds.
Senate also approved legislation to allocate:

$2,000 to the National Council of Negro Women
$208 to the Sports Management Club
$153 to the Architecture Student Council
$467 to Alternative Breaks
because even the present policy verged on being unconstitutional.
"Personally, I think the current policy should be overhauled and find out what was wrong with it in the first place," he said.

Moore to honor veterans at ceremony
World War II POW also give will speech
By Todd Halstead writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A congressman and a former prison of war will speak as part of a Veterans Day observance at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union today. The reception will honor POWs and soldiers missing or killed in action.
The reception, which begins at 2 p.m., is sponsored by the Office of Veterans' Services at the University of Kansas. Congressman Dennis Moore will give a short speech about 2:40 p.m.
Marc Wilson, a representative for Moore, said that this would be the first time Moore had spoken to veterans as a member of the
House of Representatives and that he may mention some of his policies and legislation — but that most of his speech would focus on the observance.
"His speech will be directed mainly to remembering and honoring men and women who have served in the armed forces," Wilson said.
Moore also is scheduled to speak at the Johnson County Veterans Day observance sponsored by the Johnson County Commissioners and American Legion Post 153.
Kirby Brown, Leavenworth senior and member of ROTC, said although it would be interesting to listen to Moore, he was looking forward to the guest speaker, Richard Schiefelbusch, who was a POW during World War II.
"I'm really interested to hear what he has to say," said Brown, a second lieutenant in the Air Force.
ing, was shot down over the Baltic Sea in 1943. He was taken prisoner by German troops and remained a POW for the duration of the war at various war camps. One of those camps, Stalag Luft 3, was made famous by the movie The Great Escap

Brown said the reception would begin with the flags ceremony. Next a chaplain will give Benediction followed with speeches by Moore and Schiefelbusch.
A hat for each branch of service
then will be placed on a table, as well as salt for tears, lemon for bitterness, and a lamp will be lighted.
This ceremony traditionally has been conducted by members of the Arnold Air Society for the past 25 years. The society resembles a fraternity for members of the Air Force ROTC, which is not affiliated with the military.
"It it is a very solemn occasion," Brown said. "It gives you time to think. You stand there motionless, and it gives you time to reflect on what the wall means."
At 5 p.m., the lamp then will be carried to the Vietnam Memorial on campus where two ROTC cadets at a time will keep a 24-hour candelight vigil. ROTC cadets of all the military branches will take part in the vigil, which has a changing of the guard every hour until 5 p.m. tomorrow.

Student fee allocations should not be based on individual views
Tuesday, the Supreme Court began hearing arguments in Board of Regents, University of Wisconsin vs. Southworth, a case with important implications for universities across the nation. Christian students at the University of Wisconsin have brought suit against the university, claiming that they should not be forced to pay student fees that are allocated to groups that espouse views with which they do not agree. While there are important principles supporting both sides of this case, it is necessary that the court find in favor of the university.
Higher education stands apart from other schooling because of the opportunities students have to get involved in activities that affect their community and their world. Colleges create a forum
Hearing diverse viewpoints is an essential part of every student's higher education
where political speech is as much a part of one's education as those pesky Western Civilization classes.
These students are merely subsidizing a forum accessible to all viewpoints, including their own, which is integral to the learning process. Students are constantly confronted with things that they must pay for even though they may not wholly agree with them. For instance, the minority of students who voted against the Recreation Center will have no recourse but to pay the student fees that will inevitably be tacked on to their
yearly bill.
The Wisconsin students claim that they just want to be exempt from paying fees that support viewpoints that they oppose. While principally easy to grasp, it is hard to envision a fee structure that would accommodate this position. Pro-rated fees would be unconscionably difficult to allocate. Creating different funds for different groups would create new headaches for student governments that already find it difficult to deal with the money they receive.
Practically, a decision in favor of the students bringing suit against the University of Wisconsin only would hurt all of the students at the University of Wisconsin. In the end, students across the nation would feel Wisconsin's pain.

Students should remember veterans
For most University of Kansas students, Veteran's Day is just another day that they won't get their mail. The college generation is too far removed from the world conflict that affected its grandparents. The only wars it knows happen on television and in the newspapers.
A World War II monument, planned for Washington, would remind this and future generations of the war that preserved democracy, freedom and peace in the world.
The $100 million monument will be built from private donations. Supporters of the fund-raising campaign include former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole, Saving Private Ryan star Tom Hanks and Wal-Mart. As of June 1999, $60 million had been raised.
The monument will be on a 7.4 acre
World War II soldiers deserve a memorial to commemorate their historic sacrifice
rectangle of land between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument on the mall in Washington. Outside, 50 40-foot columns will represent each state, while inside walls will list WWII battlefields and cemeteries.
The monument will commemorate the 16 million who served in the U.S. Armed Forces, the 400,000 who lost their lives and those involved in the war effort at home. They were at the Battle of Midway and the invasion of Normandy. They fought at Iwo Jima and Guadalcaina. Back home, they made
rivet guns and rolled bandages. They are all heroes who need to be remembered. "It's time we say thanks," reads the Wal-Mart memorial Web site. On Veteran's Day 1995, the site was dedicated with these words: "...We, the children of freedom, owe these men and women who rose above the common measure and wrought victory over tyranny, preserving freedom for this generation."
Today is a day to reflect on the price the United States paid for its freedom and thank the U.S. veterans, living and dead, who dedicated themselves to that cause.
If you don't know a veteran to thank, go to Wal-Mart and donate a dollar to the World War II Memorial.

The world passively has watched the Augusto Pinochet trials this year without knowing why a man who killed thousands in Chile is in England with his extradition being demanded by Spain. Pinochet's case can be used to explore many aspects of politics.

Extradition of Pinochet to Spain is wrong move
law, human rights and democracy in the world
Perspective
Pinochet started his political career as a member of the Chilean Communist Party in the 1950s. He rose to the top ranks of Chilean military in the 1960s and 1970s. In June 1973, President Salvador Allende, the head of the left-wing Popular Unity government, declared Pinochet commander-in-chief of the Chilean military.
PENGUIN
In September 1973, Pinochet led a military
Second, British authorities are helping Spain in the effort to undermine international law. On Oct. 8, the United Kingdom granted Pinochet's extradition to Spain. The British people are against the extradition for a number of reasons — mainly because Pinochet is 83 years old, and he has several health problems. His only chance of being released and sent to Chile lies in the hands of British Home Secretary Jack Straw, a centrist politician who sometime ago ruled that an 87-year-old woman who was accused of treason was not going to be brought to trial. In addition, Straw has been facing criticism from British citizens who consider Pinochet an old ally. British companies also are criticizing Straw because they are losing money because Chileans don't want to buy British products while Pinochet is in custody.
coup that killed President Allende and thousands of his supporters. Pinochet also tortured thousands of citizens and sent many others to exile.
In 1974, Pinochet closed the Chilean Parliament, prohibited all political and trade union activity and declared himself president.
Pinochet's case is extremely dangerous because it can undermine principles of international law as a whole. I certainly know that Pinochet is everything we don't want a human being to be. He is a murderer, torturer and a threat to our most valuable rights. His judgment and condemnation is imperative, but not in Spain or Great Britain. He needs to be judged in his country. This needs to happen so that we don't forget his unfavorable crimes, and Chile doesn't send a message of approval of Pinochet's behavior. I agree with the British population but for different reasons. I'm not particularly worried about his age or his health, but I'm worried that a wrong precedent can be set.
His period in power was characterized by disrespect of human rights and by strong economic development. However, the Chilean population started to significantly protest against him in the late 1980s. Those protests forced him to step down in 1990. Although he had left the presidency, he didn't leave public life. Pinochet had guaranteed in the 1980 Constitution that he would be senator for life once he left office.
Pinochet remained a senator when he traveled to London in 1998 for back surgery. Spain requested his extradition on the grounds that he had killed Spanish citizens in the 1970s.
This demand raised several problems that need to be analyzed.
First, Spain wants to play the role of international court, and British authorities are clearly
accepting that. The Spanish argue that crimes against human rights could be judged everywhere, no matter where the violations had taken place. They are clearly wrong.
He needs to be sent back to Chile, and the decision to judge him or not should lie entirely with Chilean authorities. If they don't intend to judge him for his atrocities, it's not Europe's duty to play world court. If they want China to be home of atrocities, it's their game. As Robert Kennedy once said, "Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves."

KU Bookstores need to give students a break
This letter is in response to KU Bookstores refusing to give student dividends. I handed my receipts expecting a little excess cash that all college students need. The lady up there said they terminated the program and I quote "...It didn't profit so discontinued it" (that is the dividends). She said there was an ad in the UDK, but I have read every issue and I haven't seen it. Also, There was another student behind me that wanted to cash in her receipts as well.
I am tired of the University treating the students like pawns in a chess game. This was one "break" a student got and now the university is taking that away too. We deserve our break today!

I would like to thank everyone who helped with the Voter Registration Drive - it was a huge success. We recieved 107 completed applications which is excellent considering there is no election this year. The Kick-Off Debate between the Young Democrats and College Republicans also went very well. Thanks to those who stopped by and listened in.

Kansan writes strong political commentary
I have been at the university for five years now, and I have to say this semester has been very fruitful with your writing talents! More so than ever before. I think your columnists are right on, even if there have been a few I don't agree with. The writing is clear, well researched, and funny as hell in some cases. I am a big fan of Jenny's column as well as Nick's (in fact, I would like to see him write more often than he does).
But what really inspired me to write this letter is Mike
Surely, he considered the fact that Catholics or others might find his depiction just slightly insulting. Was it even considered that others might be offended by this? Perhaps he was just careless or maybe your editors did not consider that many might not approve of mixing what others consider the seriousness of an event such as the Last Supper with something as trivial as the current alcohol policy.
I wanted to express my opinion about an article in the opinion section of the November 11 newspaper. I found Mark McMaster's article on the alcohol policy quite distasteful. Of all the possible forums he could have used and the multitude of other ways he could have addressed this issue, he chose to mock an important event in the Catholic faith, the Last Supper. I want you to know I dissapprove of this and find it insulting and degrading.
Catholics upset by column's depiction of Last Supper
Loader. His column in today's paper about Pat Buchanan is brilliant! Please pass that along to him for me. Good political commentary is hard to come by, and Loader certainly has a knack for it. I'm a bed wetting liberal and it has been a while since I've seen a columnist who shares my views on a lot of things, it is quite refreshing.
Please do not trivialize and brush my email aside as another right-wing, religious fanatic trying to shove their religion down other people's throats. Instead, please take the time to consider what I have said as constructive criticism. In the future, I ask that you please be more sensitive and considerate of the beliefs and values of others. I hope in the future this newspaper will be more careful in
Thank you very much!
In either case, I find this "mock-interpretation" inappropriate to say the least especially at a university that prides itself on acceptance and sensitivity to many cultures, many races, and religions.

avoiding insulting their readers.
There is also an important, theoretical reason. Creation science is wholly devoid of scientific merit. "But if this is so," the reader may protest, "why not let the public decide?" Well, one can here in 1999 hire a lecturer who asserts that the earth is flat of that African Americans are genetically inferior to whites. If Bettes is to be consistent, he must demand that we consider these viewpoints as well, for they are not one whit less plausible scientifically than is creationism.
Lawrence graduate student
Creation science devoid of merit
Bettes's viewpoint is, I suspect, shared by many; and it is thus of manifest importance to understand why it is confused. The confusion is one of elementary scientific methodology. For practical reasons, the legitimate scientific community disreagrads crack-pot ideas like creations; they do this of necessity, since if every person who wants to question the orthodoxy were heard in the community, no science would get done.
Brad Majors Baldwin City senior
In "Intellectual pursuit only goes so far in academia" (Nov. 5), Chad Bettes alleges that we at KU are somewhat narrow minded and dogmatic in that we failed to promote and attend the lecture of a visiting creationist to the degree found appropriate when Stephen Jay Gould came to Lawrence.

Israel to remove some troops from West Bank
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Forced to choose between Jewish settlers and Palestinian demands, Prime Minister Ehud Barak kept Israel's commitment to the Palestinians yesterday, approving a troop pullback from 5 percent of the West Bank and sending soldiers to drag Jews off an illegal hilltop encampment.
The land handover, to take place Monday, will leave a smattering of West Bank settlements isolated and surrounded by Palestinian-controlled territory — setting the stage for more tensions.
Barak has spent his four months in office making good on promises to revive the peace process, while reassuring Jewish settlers that he sympathizes with their mission to reclaim biblical lands.
Pakistanian and settler claims to the same rocky hills seemed increasingly irreconcilable, however, and scenes televised yesterday of soldiers holding red-faced settlers in headlocks could be a glimpse into the future.
Soldiers moved in on Havat Maan as light crept from Israel's coast over its plains and up the West Bank's layered hills. Settlers climbed on
rooftops, clung to door frames and flung themselves to the ground, making it harder for the unarmed troops to forcibly evacuate them.

Credibility is key issue in dragging death trial
The Associated Press
JASPER, Texas — The defendant's credibility will be the issue when jurors decide whether a third white man should join two ex-roommates on death row for dragging a black man to his death, prosecutors said yesterday.
Shawn Allen Berry's defense attorney told jurors Berry was afraid for his own life and decided not to stop the beating that culminated with the June 7, 1998, death of James Bryd Jr.
"We all feel there is a moral responsibility to stop it, but there is no legal responsibility," said Joseph C. "Lum" Hawthorn, Berry's lawyer. "Shawn felt like, well, he was scared. That does not make him guilty."
Attorney made their opening remarks and testimony began today after Judge Joe Bob Golden denied a defense motion to move the trial because of extensive media coverage. Golden said he thought the request was an attempt to delay the trial.
Berry, 24, could receive the death penalty for his alleged role in Byrd's death.
Lawyers on both sides noted today that Berry was not adorned with racist tattoos and did not write racist letters like John William King and Lawrence Russell Brewer, two men who shared a Jasper apartment with him at the time of the slaving.
Jasper County District Attorney Guy James Gray said, the three knew each other and Berry had been partying with them, drinking with them and running with them.
"The evidence will show you the choice to pick up James Byrd was made by Shawn Berry," Gray said. "He knew what the men were like that he was living with. He knew they wanted to kill a black man when he picked him up."
Hawthorn said Berry was aware of his roommates' racist views but did not think they posed danger of killing anybody. He said Berry frequently offered rides to people walking along the road.
Robot finds data recorder of EgyptAir Flight 990
The Associated Press
NEWPORT, R.I. — Nine days after EgyptAir Flight 990 went down, a robot raised the banged-up flight data recorder from the ocean floor yesterday.
Investigators at the National Transportation Safety Board began working on the tape immediately after it arrived by helicopter. Early readings were possible by late yesterday if the tape was not damaged.
The minivan-size robot Deep Drone found the box amid wreckage 250 feet below the surface. It was missing its pinger, the transmitter that emits a signal to help investigators find the recorder after an accident.
The tape could provide the best evidence of what caused the Boeing 767 to plunge into the sea off the Massachusetts island of Nantucket Oct. 31, killing all 217 people aboard.
"It will paint a picture of the aircraft moments before the accident," said safety board chairman James Hall. "In any aviation accident investigation, the most important information comes from the recorders."
The flight recorder captures information from 55 systems on the jet, telling investigators such things as the plane's altitude, speed, spin, roll, and how the autopilot functioned.
Deep Drone continued to search for the other "black box," the cockpit voice recorder.
As the search continued, a Coast Guard helicopter flew above the crash site and dropped flowers that had been left at a memorial service Sunday by grieving family members.
Flight 990 took off from New York's Kennedy Airport for Cairo and fell 33,000 feet into the Atlantic about 60 miles south of Nantucket.

Israel to remove some troops from West Bank
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Forced to choose between Jewish settlers and Palestinian demands, Prime Minister Ehud Barak kept Israel's commitment to the Palestinians yesterday, approving a troop pullback from 5 percent of the West Bank and sending soldiers to drag Jews off an illegal hilltop encampment.
The land handover, to take place Monday, will leave a smattering of West Bank settlements isolated and surrounded by Palestinian-controlled territory — setting the stage for more tensions.
Barak has spent his four months in office making good on promises to revive the peace process, while reassuring Jewish settlers that he sympathizes with their mission to reclaim biblical lands.
Palestinian and settler claims to the same rocky hills seemed increasingly irreconcilable, however, and scenes televised yesterday of soldiers holding red-faced settlers in headlocks could be a glimpse into the future.
Soldiers moved in on Havat Maon as light crept from Israel's coast over its plains and up the West Bank's layered hills. Settlers climbed on
rooftops, clung to door frames and flung themselves to the ground, making it harder for the unarmed troops to forcibly evacuate them.
"We'll be back!" the settlers
shouted as they were taken away.
The strongest resistance came from settlers holed up in a makeshift wooden synagogue. "Refuse orders," they chanted as soldiers broke through the door.
Havat Maon is one of 42 outposts set up during the past year to stake a claim to as much West Bank land as possible — and prevent the territory from being handed to the Palestinians as part of peace negotiations. Barak's predecessor, Benjamin Netanyahu, didn't challenge the unauthorized settlements, but Barak has tried to limit their construction.
Under a deal with Barak, the settlers movement had agreed to leave 12 sites voluntarily, including Havat Maon, in exchange for government approval of the other 30.
But a renegade settlers group, "Young Generation," rejected the compromise. In recent days, members have carpeted the hilltop with sleeping bags, reinforced caravans with cement and rolled boulders into the road.

Political career surprising for Arizona's Mrs. Mum
Continued from page 1A
Service, and she was a teacher.
Service, and she was a teacher. Hull said she did not mind leaving Kansas behind.
"It was obviously hard leaving both of our families, but I think we were both intent that we would probably not come back to Kansas," Hull said.
She hasn't turned back.
After moving to Phoenix in 1964, Hull became active in politics. She started as a Republican precinct committee member and slowly climbed up the political ladder.
She has been a state representative, speaker of the House and secretary of state. Hull became governor in 1997 after the then-governor resigned in scandal (in Arizona, the
secretary of state fills a vacated governorship). She was re-elected in her own right by voters in 1998.
Hull's career has been a bit of a surprise — to herself.
"I don't think I ever even though of a life of politics. I was teaching school, raising children, (planning on) going back, after the kids were raised, to a career of sorts," Hull said. "The politics just kind of came along when I wasn't looking."
Modesty aside, Hull is a formidable force in her state's politics. The Democratic minority leader of the Arizona Senate, Peter Rios, knows firsthand Hull's prowess because he suffered defeat at her hands when they ran against each other for secretary of state in 1994.
Jane whooped my butt." Rios saat,
laughing.
"I have been known to say that
Perhaps surprisingly, Rios is gracious when describing Hull and her job performance.
"She may not be a very dynamic speaker, but she is a plain-spoken person. She gets her point across," he said.
Hull seems to enjoy her success. After my interview with her, we rushed to the Phoenix Civic Center, where she addressed the Hispanic Women's Corporation's annual luncheon.
Holding up that day's USA Today, she asked the women if they had seen the front-page article about Arizona's Fab Five — the state's top five officeholders who are all women. Applause. She apologized to
the group for her Kansas "Spanglish" and drew her biggest
ovation talking about the importance of te ach i ng Spanish in Ariz o n a schools. She then got down to business, talking mental health, education and state budgets.
After lunch.
Hull took questions from

The Jayhawks avoided a bullet last night.
The Kansas volleyball team squeaked out a nerve-racking 3-2 victory against the Oklahoma Sooners, rallying from 1-0 and 2-1 game deficits at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks improved to 17-9 overall and 8-7 in the Big 12 Conference, keeping their hopes for an NCAA tournament berth alive.
"I think we're shot if we don't win this one," his coach Ray Bechard said. "That's why I admire the team so much. We just would not go away."
It was the Sooners who wouldn't go away in game one. Oklahoma entered
the match 8-16 overall, but the Sooners capitalized off Kansas' 13 errors and zero hitting percentage and ran off with a 15-6 victory.

The Jayhaws dug themselves out of that hole and blasted the Sooners for a 15-2 game-two win. Kansas, however, came out flat again in the third
game and lost 15-13.
The third game could have been a potential back-breaker for the Jayhawks. Kansas led 10-5 until Oklahoma was sparked on a kill by middle blocker Cathy Cook. From there, the Sooners caught fire and scored of the next 13 points.
The Jayhawks shook off a late Oklahoma comeback in game four, capturing a 15-9 victory. Kansas was led in the game by outside hitter Amy Myatt, who collected five kills, and middle blocker Amanda Reves, who had three.

Cruel twist of fate led this New York native to Olympic stardom
t wasn't even supposed to happen.
Not for a kid who grew up in New York playing stickball underneath the elevated trains. Al Oerter was supposed to play football, or even basketball. He was a 6-foot-4-inch, 225-pound monster. Track and field was not supposed to be his sport.
But it was his best one.
"I grew up on traditional sports in New York City," Oerter said. "We played stickball in the streets, and there was a lot of football, too. It was a great training ground for becoming an athlete, and I certainly loved sports as a kid."
He loved sports so much so that he played them nearly his entire childhood. Oerter was born in Astoria, N.Y., on Aug. 19, 1936. As a boy he played baseball and football and, as early as age 7, he frequently lifted weights. It wasn't until his sophomore year in high school that he got involved with track and field — almost by chance.
When Oerter was 16, his mother, who was suffering from cancer, died. His mother's death took an incredible toll on Oerter and he lost interest in sports.
He quit his high school football team that fall and continued to mourn his mother's death. In the spring, with his heart mending, Oerter regained his love for sports. But by that time, however,
Discovering the discus
the sports Oerter played were out of season — so he tried out for track.
"I just lost the love for sports. My heart wasn't in it anymore." Oster said
He first ran sprint events but realized that he was too big. So then he ran the mile but said he realized that it was too much work. Then the magic happened.
One day, while he was practicing the mile, an errant discus sailed on the track. Oerter picked it up and threw it back to his teammates who had lost it. The throw sailed over their heads, and Oerter's high school coach immediately made Oerter switch events from running to the discus. From that day on, the discus would be Oerter's event.
see OERTER page 4B
ANSA
After graduating high school in New York, Oerter enrolled at the University of Kansas in the fall of 1954. His high school coach had been a student at nearby Emporia State University, and he often encouraged his athletes to attend his alma mater. But Oerter, who in only two years of discus-throwing had set a national scholastic record — 184 feet, 2 inches — chose the much larger nearby school.

Commentary
No excuses for Jayhawk football fans, empty stands
I couldn't believe my eyes last Saturday. I walked into Memorial Stadium with my contingent of friends about 15 minutes
before kickoff of the game between Kansas and Baylor. The empty seats in the north bowl and the student section absolutely baffled me. But it was, as Kansas City Chiefs radio man Bill Griggs would say, a "bee-yoo-tee-ful" day for football.
It was sunny and warm, with not a cloud in sight.

But where the heck were the students? I bet nobody who had tickets for the basketball game Saturday night missed it. What more could a Kansas football fan have asked for last Saturday?
previous Saturday and a shutout against Missouri the week before that. They were playing their best football of the season. Pulverizing the Bears 45-10, the Jayhawks didn't disappoint those who did show up.
A top-10 team? Heck, the Jayhawks accomplished that in 1995. Even then, when the Cornushkers came to town, the stadium was half-filled with red-clad Nebraska fans. If nobody cared then, why would anyone care now?
A good team? Well, I hate to break it to the students who stopped coming after the San Diego State debacle, but we are a very good team now. The Nebraska game was no fluke. And Missouri can be a good team, witnessing its near win at Colorado. So yes, we do have a good team that still can finish 6-6.
So what other excuses are there to not go to football games? They last too long? Sure, sometimes a game can last more than three hours, but thousands of you have no problem sitting hours, or even days, in advance for basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse. There goes that excuse.
Oh, now you are blaming the time factor. Sure, with a 1 p.m. start time, many students still are suffering from Friday night hangovers, but I would bet that nobody would a m.a. basketball game. For that matter, it wouldn't matter what time the basketball team played for most students.
I know that Kansas football has been stuck in mediocrity for years. At times it can be dishheartening, especially after the San Diego State game. But c'mon, it's football. Football fans are supposed to be at all the games, tailgating in any weather, eating Bratwurst, getting drunk and talking about how their team is going to pull out the win.
One more home game remains this season, Nov. 20 against Iowa State. It is senior day, and the weather probably will be nice again. If you don't have tickets, simply walk to the fieldhouse, or even to the stadium 15 minutes before kickoff and fork over five bucks. That's not much, only about 50 percent of what many students spend at a bar on any given night.

Stevenson was highly regarded by several recruiting publications, including Bob Gibbons All-Star Report, which tabbed Stevenson as the third-best prospect in the nation.

For Trigueiro, it was a moment of extreme pride.
"It's definitely a proud moment for me to send a player of mine to a program like Kansas," Trigueiro said. "He was recruited by five great schools and I don't think he could've gone wrong anywhere, but I think Kansas was definitely the right decision."

While Stevenson is Kansas' most recent California recruit, there is a possibility that he will be joined by No. 18, if 6-8 forward Travon Bryant, of Long Beach, Calif., decides to become a Javahawk.
Bryant, who visited Kansas with Stevenson at Late Night in October, said that Kansas was a school he had been considering since eighth grade. But Kentucky and Missouri also are among his favorites.

With Kansas' depth at forward, Bryant said that playing time had been something that he had begun to worry about but that the Jayhawks still remain the slight favorite.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 6.
You could get an opportunity to advance your career. Also, watch for someone who's watching you! Do everything perfectly, and you might get to take on more responsibility soon.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Your life will get easier as the day goes on. You won't be as concerned about financial matters. The time you spend worrying is not billable, you know. You could worry less and make more, soon.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You've been working overtime lately.
Complications at work get in the way of everything else. You could be busy, with lots of important decisions to make. Keep your partner posted on what's happening to alleviate tension.
Work first and play later. Your partner may come to your rescue, but it could be rather late in the program. Your evening's still busy, but you might sneak in a little time for romance, too — or, at least, flirtation.
Leo: Today is a 5.
The workload picks up, and the pace increases. This sense of urgency could be downright uncomfortable. A little of this goes a long way with you, but be patient. Get the job done quickly, and that will help, too.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
Your life should get easier soon. You're one of the few who'll be relaxed tonight. Romance will most likely flourish in the privacy of your own home, which is also nice. It cuts down on expenses and increases the possibilities.
You've spent a lot of time studying. Now, it's time to do the work. You can attain mastery only by stumbling around for a while first. Too bad, but it's part of the process. Don't be afraid to make mistakes; plan for them.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
Get advice early, especially on financial matters. Later in the day, you may lose interest, and that could be expensive. Likewise, you should go shopping first thing, too. Later on you won't care as much about getting the best deal.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You might be worried. If so, take a breather.
Stand back and look at the big picture. This can work out for the best, especially if you decide right now that's what will happen. After that, all the other decisions will be easy.
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
You're getting stronger and more confident by the hour. Your nervousness will fade, and you'll forget all about it. Knowing that ahead of time, you won't be alarmed when the worries show up. Laugh at them!
Pisces: Today is a 7.
LION
You should be lucky, especially with foreigners.
Don't be afraid — even if you don't meet your own expectations yet. Your friends believe you can even if you don't. Keep on keeping on. Success is near.
You won't get an extension on the upcoming deadline. Travel looks complicated, too. Instead, do what you know how to do — in familiar surroundings. Crank out the requirements first to make your load lighter. Keep gossip to a minimum, too.

Vikings defensive end said he rearets low blow
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Defensive end Duane Clemons said he was fined $7,500 by the NFL for punching Dallas Cowboys tackle Flozell Adams below the belt.

clear view of the punch during the Vikings' 27-17 victory Monday night. TV replays caught Clemons in the
act but didn't show what precipitated his punch, which occurred after Jimmy Hitchcock intercepted Jason Garrett's pass in the fourth quarter. Clemons said Adams took him down from behind on the interception return and that's why he threw the punch.
In an expletive-filled tirade after the game, Adams said: "That's why he doesn't start. I'd be surprised if he was with this team next year. He's a first-round draft pick bust."

Chiefs sign Bentley to handle kickoff duties

Bentley, who has made only brief appearances in professional football since finishing a standout career at Florida State, was signed to a 2-year contract yesterday to be the Chiefs'

kickoff specialist. He practiced with the team yesterday afternoon and will handle kickoff duties on Sunday at Tampa Bay.
Bentley's signing follows a string of poor kickoff performance by Pete Stoyanovich. In Sunday's 25-17 loss at Indianapolis, the Colts' starting field position after Kansas City's four kickoffs was their own 36.
Stoyanov will continue to kick field goals and extra points for the Chiefs, although Gunther Cunningham said Bentley also would work on placements as Stoyanov's backup.
Reds' McKeon named NL Manager of the Year
BASEBALL
NEW YORK — Jack McKeon, who kept the low-budget Reds in contention for the playoffs until the final day of the season, received 17 first-place votes, nine seconds and three thirds for 115 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Atlanta's Bobby Cox, who led his team to the NL Championship Series for the eighth straight year, was second with 10 firsts, 14 seconds and six thirds for 98 points.
"I've been in the game 50 years now and this has probably been my most rewarding year," McKeon said.
Mkeenon, who turns 69 on Nov. 23,
is the third-oldest manager in major
league history behind Connie Mack,
88, and Casey Stengel, 75.
Mckeeon is a former manager of Kansas City, Oakland and San Diego and the former general manager of the Padres. He led the Reds to a 96-66 record, tying them for the wild-card spot with the Mets, who won a tiebreaker playoff 5-0.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Chris Porter spent the off season away from the basket. Not away from basketball, just the basket.
The 6-foot-7-inch senior forward shot hundreds of 3-pointers every day during the summer in an attempt to complement the spectacular inside game that helped him become the leading vote-getter yesterday on The Associated Press' preseason All-America team.
Porter averaged 16.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and a highlight-reel dunk or two a game as Auburn got as high as No. 2 in the rankings during a 29-4 season in which he was a secondteam All-America. The Tigers lost in the third round of the NCAA tournament to Ohio State.
Porter was listed on 53 of 65 ballots from a 65-member media panel. DePaul sophomore swingman Quentin Richardson was next with 46 votes. Next were two senior guards from the Big Ten who led their teams to the Final Four last season — Scoonie Penn of Ohio State and Mateen Cleaves of Michigan State. Each received 44 votes.
Maryland junior forward Terence Morris was fifth in the voting with 35.

Lewis, Holyfield trade final quips before fiaht
LAS VEGAS — Judgment Day awaits Lennon Lewis and Evander Holyfield on Saturday, eight months after what Lewis and many in boxing believe was a terrible misjudgment.
Most everybody else thought Lewis won a decision in Madison Square Garden on March 13. The draw outraged fans and led to hearings and photo-ops by assorted officials.
Lewis, the WBC champion from Britain, is a 5-9 favorite to beat IBF-WBA champion Holyfield on Saturday night in the payer-view bout at Thomas & Mack Center.
"I'm going to jump on this guy and show the people I did everything to win," Holyfield said yesterday before the final news conference. "By people, I mean the judges."
"Because I won the first time, I'm more confident and I will take more chances," Lewis said. "I'm going to sway the judges to my side. I have confidence in the fight judges that nothing is going to go on ... but anything is possible."

scoring. In rally-scoring, points are awarded for sideouts. The Sooners scored the first two points of the game and held a 9-6 lead when Oklahoma middle blocker Holly McMillan recorded a block. The Jayhawks took a time-out, then scored the next three points and tied the game at 9-9 on Myatt's 16th kill of the match.
The Sooners scored the next point
on a Kansas hitting error, then eventually were serving with a 13-11 lead. Outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht picked up a kill for Kansas and combined with Reves for a block. Albrecht added one more kill as the Jayhawks won the decisive game, 15-13.
"Down 13-11 and you rally to win it," Bechard said. "That shows a tremendous amount of character on our part. But give OU credit. They really battled."
Kansas was led by Reves 19 kills. Myatt followed with 18 kills, while setter Molly LaMere paced the team with 61 assists. Outside hitter Nancy Bell tied a career-high with a team-leading 19 digs.
Next up for Kansas is a Saturday road match against No. 23 Baylor in Waco, Texas. The Jayhawks won the first meeting between the two schools on Oct. 9, sweeping the Bears 3-0 in Lawrence.

LaMere leads team with selfless, tireless play
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It's the little things that kill, and Molly LaMere's been hurting Kansas opponents all year by doing just that. Her latest victim — the Oklahoma Sooners, whom Kansas defeated 3-2 last night.
LaMere, a sophomore setter on the Kansas volleyball team, has challenged school assist records all season. After recording 61 assists last night, she's just eight away from becoming No. 5 in career assists at Kansas and is on track to post the second best single-season assists total in school history. But the impact she had
last night went beyond assists.
"Setting is just one part of what she does," Coach Ray Bechard said. "She's a tremendous backcourt player, and she's a heads-up player. She competes very hard, makes good decisions and her competitive nature helps create the tempo we need on this team."
LaMere's consistent play and precision fundamentals are something she has emphasized this year.
"If I just have a good game setting, I don't feel like I have a complete game," LaMere said. "The defensive part of my game is what I definitely work on every game and during practice."
Her defensive skills helped the Jahyhaws into the decisive game five
last night. LaMere dove on the floor for 12 digs, hustled after balls and combined for blocks with senior Amanda Reves. Their biggest combination block came in game four, which put the Jayhawks ahead 7-2. The block snuffed out a kill attempt by Oklahoma's Cathy Cook and sent the crowd into a frenzy.
It's on big plays such as this that LaMere enjoys contributing, and she thinks it helps the team.
“[Making big plays] is much more important,” LaMere said. “When you make big plays, it gets everybody into it, the crowd and the team on the court.”

Football ticket sales down despite wins
By Mike Miller

Kansan sportswriter
It's been an up-and-down season for the Kansas football team — and for fan attendance.
The Jayhawks, 4-6 overall, won two of their last three games and are playing their best football of the season, according to Coach Terry Allen. The 45-10 Baylor defeat was the second largest margin of victory this season, but the attendance was second lowest of any home game this year.
"Fans didn't come to the Baylor game, so now we have to see what they respond to," said Rick Mullen, director of promotions for the department.

"We're not in a habit of discounting our tickets," Mullen said. "But this is an opportunity to help promote the seniors in their final home game."
Even with a 69-degree temperature, the announced attendance was 28,600. The only game that had a smaller crowd was the 27.9 victory against Southern Methodist University, when 24,700 fans came in 49-degree overcast weather.
The department will promote heavily the last home game, against Iowa State on Nov. 20, and will offer discount tickets for only the second time this season. In a senior send-off promotion, all tickets — reserved, North Bowl and student tickets — will be offered as buy one, get one

Attendance at Kansas home football games
Attendance at home football games is declining, despite recent temperatures and the team's recent improvements.
5,000 15,000 25,000 35,000 45,000
Overall, season ticket sales were slightly lower this year compared with last season, with 19,973 season tickets sold this season, and 19,992 season tickets sold last season.
With the new press box, scholarship suites and MegaVision scoreboard, one might expect ticket sales to increase. However, sales usually mirror a team's record from the previous season, said Doug Vance, assistant athletics director.
So the Jayhawks 4-7 record last season didn't help this year's ticket sales much. But things have been on the upswing this season, as public ticket sales — reserved season, suite level, corporate, recent graduate and family plan tickets — increased in sales from 11,622 tickets to 11,719 tickets sold this season.
The 36 scholarship suites — eight of which were not sold before the season — have been sold for the remainder of the season and next season. Williams fund director Scott Willains said that was just a matter of convincing potential buyers that the suites were finished and worth the $22,000 to $50,000 price

The remaining ticket sales, such as K-Club — former Kansas athletes
tag.
— faculty, staff and student tickets have decreased since last year, especially the all-sports tickets. The Athletics Department sold 6,417 all-sports tickets last year, with 137 football-only tickets. This year, it sold 6,106 all-sports tickets, 97 football-only.
Jayhawk business partners and University of Kansas Athletic Corporation ticket sales increased, but that accounts for 220 tickets.
Walk-up sales are the dependent
factor. These tickets, usually bought either the week prior or day of football games, fluctuate depending on the weather and the opponent.
When Southern Methodist came to Lawrence, it was cold and rainy. That didn't help ticket sales. When Missouri and Nebraska came, the weather was more accommodating to ticket sales. It was 45 degrees and sunny for the Missouri game, which attracted 42,300 fans. For Nebraska, 45,100 people sat through a night game with the temperature about 62 degrees.

kansas millennium athlete No.5 Oerter a true sportsman
Being from New York, Oerter said that his first impression of Lawrence was one of disbelief.
"My initial impression was 'where's the rest of the people?' Oerter said. "It wasn't a culture shock or anything like that, I just couldn't believe that within five or 10 miles was farmland."
Helping to pay his attendance costs at Kansas was an academic, not athletic, scholarship. Oerter was granted a Stansbury Scholarship, and, to this day, he says that he was fortunate to receive it. If Oerter had received an athletic scholarship, he said, the Athletics Department probably would have forced him to play football because of his size.
"I'm very thankful for that scholarship because it allowed me to focus only on track." Oerter said.
At Kansas, Oerter's legend grew. Immediately he set Kansas and NCAA records, and in 1956, as a sophomore, Oerter was on his way to Melbourne, Australia, for the Olympics.
A legendary Olympian
Upon entering his first of four Olympics, Oerter had never won an international title. However, the Olympic stadium would become the place where Oerter would shine.
On his first throw in the finals of the 1956 Olympics, Oerter heaved the discus, which weighs 4.4 pounds, an incredible distance — 184-10 1/2. The throw was his personal best and set a world record.
Immediately following the medal ceremony, reporters asked Oerter if he planned to continue. His answer was simple.
ous when I said that I wanted to win four more of these." Oerter said. "I knew that if I didn't, what I had just accomplished a half-an-hour ago would not be recognized four years from then or even 12 years down the road."
"the feeling I had was so amazing, so happy, that I was dead seri-
And so Oerter continued. In each of the next three Olympic Games, 1960 in Rome, 1964 in Tokyo and 1968 in Mexico City, Oerter won gold medals — each time setting personal bests and breaking world records.
"Al Oerter has accomplished feats that few even dare to dream about." Oerter's Olympic teammate Jim Ryun said. "Four gold medals in four Olympic Games confirm his reputation as one of the greatest athletes to ever compete."
However, Oerter said he never was overwhelmed by Olympic competition.
"I was absolutely thrilled by it," he said. "There was no other place on the face of the earth I would rather be than on the floor of an Olympic stadium."
In 1960, Oerter received a rather unexpected thrill. He again had reached the finals, but this time he was paired against his own teammate, Richard Babka.
In the final round Babka led Oerter by 15 inches. Prior to Oerter's fifth throw, Babka approached Oerter and said his technique was a bit off on the previous throws. Oerter acknowledged it, fixed it and heaved the discuss 194.2. It was another world record, another personal best and it dropped Babka to the silvermedal slot. To this day, Oerter is still grateful to "Rink," as he affectionately calls him, for his help.
"The day of the competition I was absolutely screwing up and he [Babka] came up before the fifth of six throws we get and he told me
what I was doing wrong, and I corrected it and won the gold medal because he couldn't t respond on his last two throws to beat me," Oerter said. "I truly owe him that medal. I've given 1,500 speeches in my life, and I will always acknowledge that. That's what sports should be all about and it was my favorite Olympic memory — not beating 'Rink,' but it's one teammate helping another teammate in the best of competition.
"Now, when the games are over and you stand on the platform waiting for your medal and hear the 'Star Spangled Banner,' the top of your head comes off."
Two years later, in one of Oerter's rare non-Olympic meets, he became the first athlete to throw a discus more than 200 feet.
Looking back
Oerter, now 63, is retired and lives in Ft. Myers, Fla., with his wife, Cathy. He occasionally does motivational speaking for the Olympic Committee as well as various corporations. Recently he was celebrated by ESPN as one of the century's top 100 athletes, at number 68, and has been nominated as one of the century's top Olympians.
Oerter also has been inducted into the Olympic and U.S. Track and Field halls of fame.
For those who knew him, saw him compete, or competed with or against him, Oerter will not be remembered simply as a man who won four consecutive gold medals, but rather as a great man who won because of his love for his event.
"It was an honor for me to participate in the two Olympics where Al and I were teammates (1964 and 1968) and see him with two of his gold medals," Ryu said.

KU on Wheels, fraternity work to bury bus stop disagreements
By Erin R. B. Carambom
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
KU on Wheels and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity are trying settle their differences so that taking the bus to class is a smooth ride.
At a meeting earlier this week, KU on Wheels coordinator Holly Krebs; John Bilek, bus manager at Lawrence Bus Co.; and Brian Cooper, the fraternity's president; met to brainstorm solutions to the conflicts between KU on Wheels drivers and members of Lambda Chi Alpha.
Bilek said two of four drivers who drove the route that has stops near the fraternity's house, 1918 Stewart Ave., had complained about fraternity members' behavior when loading the bus.
Tom Turner, member of Lambda Chi Alpha, said the main problem was that bus drivers would drive away from the stop at Stewart Avenue while members of the house were walking toward the stop.
"I had a driver come out there and one student laid down in the street," Blek said. "The driver started to move around him and students began to beat on the car."
Krebs said members of Lambda Chi Alpha had complained that the bus drivers were inconsistent in that some drivers would stop at undesignated stops.
"There wasn't communication between KU on Wheels and the house," Krebs said. "We're working on fixing that."
"In the past, they would give us time to get there," Turner said. "Our guys had to walk to class a coule of times."
He said he hadn't heard anything about the incident Bilek described.
When Krebs, Bilek and Cooper met to discuss the house members' complaints, they generated solutions to the problem.
Krebs said KU on Wheels asked the men in the house to show respect to the bus driver and wait at the designated stop.
She said KU on Wheels also was working with the City of Lawrence to get a no-parking sign in front of the house so that it could be made an official stop.

A schism is ignited among local theatergoers by DOGMA
STORY BY DEREK PRATER PHOTO BY SHELBY SMITH
't a fine line between blasphemy and faith.
That mav sound strange, but tonight's reale
Kevin Smith's latest film, Dogma, proves that one person's tribute to religion can amount to heresy in the eyes of others.
Smith, a Catholic, has said that his comic fantasy tale is pro-Catholic and is almost like a recruiting film. Many Catholics disagree.
"In my opinion, Dogma is blasphemous, and blashemy is a very serious sin," said Jeanine Blanck, an organizer of a protest planned for the tonight's opening of the film at the Hollywood Plaza 6 Theaters, 2339 Iowa St.
Blanck said she expected between 100 and 200 people to rally between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. to show their disapproval of the film.
Dogma, Smith's fourth film, revolves around two fallen angels, played by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, trapped in the modern world and out to prove that God is fallible, thus negating existence and bringing about the end of the world. Characters include Chris Rock as the 13th apostle, Alan Rickman as a messenger from God and Alanis
--he right to blaspheme in her. She said Blanck is not alone in her feelings.

Morissette as a human incarnation of God.
Smith and most reviewers contend that the film is a satire that embraces Catholic teachings. Detractors say that the representations of Catholic beliefs undermine the faith.
Sandra Zindars-Swartz, professor of religious studies, said the controversy about the movie demonstrated the heterogeneous nature of faith.
"Conservative Catholics would tell you that there is a very specific definition of blasphemy," she said. "But different Catholics have different opinions about what constitutes blasphemy."
Blanck said anyone who was really Catholic would know that Smith's movie was blasphemous and should not be shown.
"Freedom of expression does not include the right to blaspheme God," she said.
Smith has been flooded with hate mail, and even took to posting selected letters on the official movie Web site. On the site, he wrote that he stopped posting the hate mail on the site for an undisclosed reason.
David Innes, manager at Hollywood Plaza 6, said that he knew the rumors surrounding the film would polarize people but that he had read the script and didn't understand what people were so worked up about.
"I'm surprised that they could stir up this much action among people who haven't even seen the film." Innes said.
Similar protests from Catholics have preceded the releases of other films, such as Jesus Christ Superstar and The Last Temptation of Christ, he said.
Blanck said she wanted to educate people about the film and the message she thought it carried. She hopes to persuade people not to watch it. Innes said he expected a big turnout despite the protest. "We're going to be slammed," he said.

Bomb threat shuts down Kansas Union for evening
The Kansas Union was target of a bomb threat vesterday evening.
The threat was called in to a KU operator at 6:35 p.m. Public safety officers were dispatched to the Union almost immediately and notified the building's staff and occupants of the threat.
Union staff made the decision to close the building for an hour, from about 7:15 to 8:15 p.m., said Chris Keary, assistant director of public safety.
Officers stood by until the hour had passed, turning students away from the Union. After the hour was up, the building was opened so personal belongings could be retrieved. Otherwise, the building was closed for the night. Keary said.
Wednesday afternoon, the KU Public Safety Office was notified about bomb threats directed at Snow, Wescop and Hashinger halls.
Keary refused to speculate whether the call last night was connected to Wednesday's bomb threats but said his office would investigate that possibility if a suspect is found.
Among the students displaced by the evacuation was Melineh Kurdian, Wichita senior, who was performing at the coffeehouse sponsored by Student Union Activities.
Kurdian said she saw an unusual number of police cars when she arrived at the Union at 6:55 p.m.
She was told there was a bomb threat before she began her performance with friend Becky Farris, Wichita freshman. The two performed four songs and were then told they had to evacuate the building about 7:20 p.m.
"People were actually quite laid-back about it," Kurdian said. "We've become skeptics; we don't really care when things like that happen any more."
Keary said that anyone with information on the bomb threats could call the KU Crime Stoppers hotline at 864-8888.

KU on Wheels bus,car collide in front of Union
A KU on Wheels bus driver and a student were involved in an accident in front of the Kansas Union yesterday morning.
Brad Badger, Lawrence graduate student, said he was dropping off a friend at the Union when the bus had pulled up behind him and the driver had honked his horn.
"There was plenty of room for him to get out and around," Badger said. After Badger pulled away from the Union, the bus trailed closely behind his car, he said. When he braked for pedestrians he thought were trying to cross the street, the bus ran into his car.
Sgt. Troy Malen of the KU Public Safety Office, said the bus driver was cited for inattentive driving.
The officer on the scene said the accident resulted from a combination of Badger driving too slow and the bus driver following too closely, Mailen said.
"When it was all said and done, it was sort of a mutual situation," he said.
sort of a mutual fault situation." he said. Badger said the bus driver was impatient and driving rudely.
John Bialek from the Lawrence Bus Co. said the officer on the scene told him that fault was directed at both parties.

PeopleSoft program bug cause delays in payroll
Some students, faculty and staff at the University of Kansas will have to go through a different process today when it comes time to get their paychecks or pay stubs.
Comptroller Diane Goddard said the payroll office had experienced a glitch with the PeopleSoft Program earlier this week that would cause the delay of some pay stubs of students who get their paychecks directly deposited into their bank accounts.
"The money will be in their accounts today, but the pay advice that shows hours work and deductions might be delayed," Goddard said. "Payroll in most cases is having to use the address the student put on their W-2 forms to mail the pay advices."
In addition to the possible delay in pay stubs, faculty and staff who normally have their paychecks mailed to their houses will have them delivered through campus mail or their departments can pick them up, she said.
"All the departments have been notified about the change, so hopefully no one should be surprised," Goddard said.
Several other universities have experienced problems with PeopleSoft programs, including the University of Minnesota, which warned KU earlier this semester about problems sending out tuition bills and financial aid checks.

County allows fireworks for millennial festivities
Douglas County Commissioners voted 2:1 Wednesday night to approve the sale of fireworks for New Year's Eve.
Craig Weinaugh, county administrator, said that the dissenting vote, by Commissioner Charles Jones, was based on advice from public safety officials concerned with the hazards of fireworks.
However, because adjacent counties already have approved the sale of fireworks leading up to New Year's, commissioners wanted to be fair to vendors in Douglas County, he said.
"It was inevitable that we would have to consider the issue," he said.
Fireworks sales will be permitted from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Dec. 30, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Dec. 31 and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Jan. 1
Use of fireworks will be permitted from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Dec; 30; from 9 a.m. Dec. 31 to 1 a.m. Jan; 1, and from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Jan. 1.
Weinaug said the Douglas County Commission only made laws for unincorporated areas of the county, meaning the use of fireworks will not necessarily be legal everywhere in the county.
"Whether or not it is permitted within the city limits is up to the city commission," Weinaug said.

Policeman pleads guilty to DWI, battery charges
A Lawrence police officer pleaded guilty to aggravated battery and driving while intoxicated yesterday in Douglas County Court.
Micah Stegall's charges stem from events Aug. 14, when Stegall's Jeep swerved onto a sidewalk at Eighth and Vermont streets. He colliding with bicyclist Steve Mitchell, who was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Stegal was placed on administrative leave from the police department.
Because Stegall's father is employed by Douglas County court, special arrangements have been made. Judge Adrian Allen was called from Topeka to hear the case. The pre-sentencing investigation has been ordered in Osakaloosa, under the jurisdiction of Jefferson County Court.
Stegall could receive a jail sentence, fine or community service hours for the two misdemeanor charges. His sentencing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 16.

Regional conference for greeks to take place on KU campus
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
About 110 greek members from several states will arrive on campus this afternoon to attend a conference focusing on leadership skills and issues that have an impact on greek life.
The University of Kansas' greek community will welcome the Mid-American Greek Council Association Western Area Conference, which will begin tonight and continue through tomorrow afternoon.
The greek students will represent Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University and various universities from Nebraska and Missouri. Many of the students attending the conference have planned to stay in fraternity and sorority houses rather than in area hotels.
The conference participants will attend a non-alcoholic social event tonight at Delta Tau Delta fraternity, 1111 W. 11th St.
On Saturday, the visiting students will join about 40 KU students to hear from several speakers and participate in smaller discussion sessions.
Kelly Jo Karnes, assistant director for greek programs, said topics would include sorority and fraternity programming ideas.
"Every single school has problems, I want the schools to realize they have each other, and they can use each other as a resource."
Brooke Warde Greeley, Colo., senior
recruitment, gender roles and leadership.
The key speakers will be Reuben Perez, who frequently works with the LeaderShape program, and Al Calarco, who works with the Theta Chi fraternity national headquarters. Perez will speak about breaking down stereotypes, and Calarco will give a motivational speech.
Brooke Warde, Greeley, Colo., senior and vice president of the Mid-American Greek Council Association Western Area, helped organize the conference.
She said she hoped it would build up the greek system as a whole through improved communication.
"Every single school has problems." Warde said. "I want the schools to realize they have each other, and they can use each other as a resource."

Legislative tax cuts drain funds for higher education
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
While the Kansas Legislature gives back much of the revenue gained from the long economic expansion of the 1990s in the form of tax cuts, many other states are using the extra money to bolster higher education.
Growing slowly
The Kansas Legislature increased funding for higher education slower than KU's five peer universities. Below is a comparison of the average annual increase in funds for operating expenses from fiscal year 1994 to fiscal year 1999.
6.1% Oklahoma
5.9% North Carolina
5.7% Oregon
5.0% Colorado
4.6% Iowa
4.4% Kansas
And that's hurting the University of Kansas.
Jason Williams/KANSAN
"It doesn't take a genius to realize that Kansas kids are going to fall behind if we don't invest as much in higher education," said Chancellor Robert Henemway.
And that, in turn, will make the state of Kansas fall behind, he said.
"A new knowledge economy will drive success in the future," he said. "Unless we invest more in higher education, Kansas may be falling behind in the economy of the future."
Just how far can business go?
Just how far behind is Kansas?
Statistics from the Center for Higher Education and Educational Finance at Illinois State University show that funding from the Kansas Legislature for operating expenses at state universities has increased at an average of 4.4 percent per year. This, however, is behind the average national rate of a 5.2 percent average annual increase. Kansas ranked 27th out of all the states in the rate of increase in funding.
In addition, the Legislature increased funding at a slower rate compared to the home states of the University's five peer universities—the University of Colorado, the
University of Oklahoma, the University of North Carolina, the University of Iowa and the University of Oregon.
Diana Carlin, interim assistant provost, said Kansas had been cutting taxes at the expense of education. That allows states such as Florida, Georgia, Connecticut and Michigan — which have drastically increased state funding for higher education — to get ahead, she said.
If Kansas acquires a reputation as a state that doesn't adequately support higher education, it will make it harder for the University to recruit good students, she said.
"This is important in that it sends a signal to other states on whether
Kansas is saying higher education is important or not," she said. "It's making us have to compete harder for out-of-state kids."
In addition, the tax cuts by the Legislature have forced the University to cut its budget by 1 percent this year. And the possibility of budget cuts for next year and the years after further threatens higher education in a state that already was falling behind, she said.

Unfriendly eyes are hard to shake
Those being stalked have limited options but can take action
By Katie Hallar writer@kanson.com kanson staff writer
She didn't know who he was
But he knew all about her. The man who watched Kerri Morrison knew everything — where she lived, where she worked, when she'd be in class and when her boyfriend would be gone.
"He knew exactly where to be and when I was vulnerable," Morrison said.
Morrison, a 1997 University of Kansas graduate, said it started when she was working at the Etc. Shop, 928 Massachusetts St., and living in an apartment across the street.
"I started seeing him every time I was at work, and then he started showing up on my back deck," she said. "He'd only be there when I was home alone. He knew my schedule that well."
The stranger's appearances increased in frequency; he tracked her down at house parties and restaurants. Morrison called the police, who instructed her to notify the department every time she saw him.
"I called them every day for seven months," she said. "It was freaky, but I kind of got used to it." Morrison got used to being stalked.
Stalking is more than a nuisance or a tenacious romantic pursuit. It is an intentional, malicious and repeated following or harassment of another person, according to Kansas law. It is threatening someone with the intent to place him or her in reasonable fear.
And it is a felony.
Stalking is punishable by five to 13 months in jail, said District Attorney Christine Tonkovich. The sentence varies with criminal history and also can include fines.
Tonkovich said the stalking statute was first passed in Kansas in 1992 as a misdemeanor. The statute took its current form in 1995.
Under constitutional constraints, a case cannot be classified as stalking unless a threat is issued. Tonkovich said.
Tonkovich said that in most cases, the suspect would be charged with another related crime, such as criminal trespassing or telephone harassment.
"What we see is a lot of behavior that causes us concern," she said. "But in order to be stalking, it must be very egregious."
Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler said local police saw about six cases of stalking each
Wheeler said most victims were females who had been in some sort of relationship with the stalker. After they try to end the relationship, the stalking begins.
year. He agreed with Tonkovich that many more cases did not reach the full-blown level.
Wheeler advised stalking victims to call the police immediately so that a Protection from Abuse order can be filed. An order can require the stalker to stay a given distance from the victim.
In addition, Wheeler said victims should take note of surroundings, tell someone else about the situation and keep any evidence.
Morrison's constant communication with the police force kept her safe. She never had an altercation with the man, despite his constant presence.
"If you keep seeing the same car," he said, "note the dates, times and a good description."
She said the stalking ended three years ago, when her stalker was caught raping a 15-year-old girl in her own front yard. He is currently serving a 17-year prison sentence, she said, but he will be eligible for parole after seven years.
Morrison said she was not afraid of his release — she doesn't live in Lawrence anymore.
"I can't imagine that he would be able to find me," she said.

State House majority leader answers budget questions
By Chris Borniger writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Kansas House of Representatives majority leader Kent Glasscock, R-Manhattan, spoke to the Lawrence Kiwanis for Veterans Day yesterday, but military service wasn't the main subject of his speech.
Glasscock is a nine-year veteran of the Legislature and a former mayor of Manhattan. Glasscock spoke about the Year 2000 session of the Legislature, which convenes in January, and answered several questions about the state's reduced budget.
Below are the answers he gave to questions.
Q: At the University, there are a lot of people concerned with finances, especially concerning the Governor's proposed budget cuts. How much will these cuts hurt the University?
A: The 1 percent cut is painful, but I don't see it as having any long-term detrimental effect. How can we craft a smaller state budget that still meets our obligations? What drives that is available funds. Right now, the state budget itself is too complicated to assess the impact.
Q: Faculty and administration salaries rank low compared to our peer institutions. Are raises for these people in the foreseeable future?
A: Caming from Manhattan, my top priority every year is education. Some years we do better, and some years are different. Salaries definitely are on my radar screen for the
"We overspent the budget by $40 million in the past legislative session, so a tight year will get even tighter."

upcoming session. If we fund the higher education restructuring bill, the major component is faculty salaries. But not all of my colleagues have university towns in their districts. When their constituents are concerned about whether their grocery store will have to close, it's hard to vote for state aid for universities.
Q: If the national economy is so good, why is Kansas hurting so badly?
A: There are two reasons. One is that we overspent the budget by $40 million in the past legislative session, so & tight year will get even tighter. The other is that as fiscal year '99 played out, we were $73 million short of our revenue projections. The agricultural economy and the oil economy are just a little softer.
Q: As a former mayor of Manhattan, you know how state government affects a university town. How has that experience affected your job as a legislator?
A: It has given me a very different perspective. Serving in an elected capacity at the local level, you learn a great deal about where the lines between
policy and administration are. It also has put me in a position to understand much better about how voters look at issues, how to interact with constituents and how important it is to be responsive. In Manhattan, Kansas State University is a huge component of the culture and economy. I've been able to learn firsthand how important the university can be to a community.
Q: In your speech to the Kliwan, you spoke a lot about hope. What's your hope for the state of Kansas?
A: I have a lot of hope. I hope we can position ourselves educationally and economically so that your generation of Kansans and your children will be able to live in a state where there's an economic base to propel them in ways to achieve their own goals and aspirations. We want to make Kansas strong enough and good enough so that people will want to stay here and can stay here. We're positioned in a relatively new world economy of technology, science and innovation to deal with. If we can do that, we'll be strong enough to meet our obligations to the next generation and the previous generation.
About 60 people attended the event. Glasscock said in his speech that next year's legislative session would be colored by the budget because Kansas would not see the prosperity it has had this decade.
"Many have termed it the gravy train," he said. "But we've run out of gravel."

Dream machine found in SUV form
The Excursion brings unlimited benefits to suburbia
have found the machine of my dreams. It's the recently introduced Ford Excursion, the LARGEST SPORT-UTILITY VEHICLE IN THE WORLD. It's truly Brodhinmegian:
longer, wider and taller than any other truck on the market, dwarfing even Chevy's Suburban.
Other SUVs may "blaze" through the woods, "rove" over hills or "explore" the wilds of suburbia, but the Excursion's name says it all: each trip in this vehicle is an event — an excursion. A drive to the supermarket requires as much gas as a coast-to-coast road trip in a Geo Metro, and the Excursion's girth suggests that a small crew of attendants with glow-in-the-dark wands would be necessary to squeeze it into a typical parking space. But that's a small price to pay for the thrill of driving a vehicle that, if only it were produced 150 years ago, surely would have kept the colonies in Africa and Latin America in European possession and properly subjugated.
To haul the Excursion around, tremendous force obviously is needed. This is delivered by a huge 7.3 liter engine with a hold back yet — 10 cylinders, a fact
that just shouts to be illustrated with numerous sporty "V-10" body decals. To get an idea of how big this engine is, you can compare it to the engine in my roommate's shiny, black Honda Civic coupe. My roommate is a great guy, but his engine is less than one-sixth the size of the Excursion's. I don't mean to embarrass him, of course.
Like my roommate.

Mistake made by Bush not a real indicator of foreign policy ability
if Texas Republican Gov. George W. Bush were receiving a grade for his presidential campaign, some in the public would give him an "F" in foreign policy. Political reporter Andy Hiller sat down with Bush last week to conduct an interview and surprised the candidate with a foreign policy pop quiz. Bush is scheduled to present his foreign policy platform in two weeks, but when asked if he could name the leaders of Chechnya, Taiwan, India and Pakistan — all of which have been prominent in recent news — Bush could only name one.
Bush's lack of knowledge in foreign policy may have triggered a bit of doubt in some voters about his ability to be a sufficient leader. Several Democrats seized the opportunity to point out how inexperienced he was in this area, making him a risky choice for president.
Bush's campaign representative Karen Hughes commented on the unfairness of the questioning,
It's more important to know a leader's philosophy than his or her memorization skills
policy.
because Hiller had not used the same tactic before on other candidates this year. Fairness is not really the point. Even if the pop quiz surprised the GOP front-runner and his followers, the embarrassment should be short lived. While it would have been preferable for Bush to know the answers, it ultimately is not a true indicator of his ability to make decisions on foreign policy.
Michigan Republican Gov. John Engler said that Bush's inadequacy to come up with the answers will have absolutely zero impact on Michigan voters. Engler also commented that most Americans will focus more on Bush's plans for his potential time in office and the philosophy he will lay out for foreign
The simple fact is that foreign policy is complex and broad. What are more important are the underlying principles a leader will use to make the big decisions when he or she is presented with the facts and specific situations. This is why we have the State Department, foreign policy advisers and military intelligence, just to name a few. There's a whole world out there in which the United States has interests, whether political or economic.
As the election season goes on, Bush's face will return to its normal color, and he will articulate for what he stands and what he believes. Witnessing a flub of a presidential candidate is nothing new to Americans, and voters looking at Bush's leadership abilities will understand that this event is not significant enough to flunk him out of the election.

Spring Break not just for fun, frolic
This coming spring break, students from the University of Kansas will travel to different parts of the country ranging from New York to Florida to Texas. While many will head to places where they can lie on the beach and drink, others will be taking part in KU's Alternative Spring Break. The exceptional aspect of these students' trips is that they are going to their destinations to serve people.
We praise those already involved in the program and encourage others to follow their lead. Alternative Spring Break is one of the most admirable moments of the student body.
The program will be held at 14 sites, including the ones mentioned above. Each site will focus on one or more of

five themes of service. Those themes are education, hunger and homelessness, different cultures (working on a Native American reservation, for example), conservation and health care. Students will be working to improve problems that relate to these themes.
By engaging in this volunteer work, students will become immersed in the lives of people they otherwise would not have encountered. For a week, the struggles, hardships and triumphs of others will be their own. They also will
have an opportunity to get to know fellow students. In the past, this program has been referred to as a life changing experience.
Alternative Spring Break has grown each of last few years and is expected to be even bigger this year. While many already have signed up, there is room for 140 students. Applications, due November 15, are available in the Center for Community Outreach office in room 426 of the Kansas Union.
If you are accepted to the program, you will need to enroll in a class, HDFL 606, which will meet from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursdays. Students can take the class for zero, one or two hours of credit, with each hour requiring slightly more work.

More federal funding should go to education
Aaron
Major
columnist
opinion@kansan.com
I am not sure what gets me more frustrated: the recent slashing of public funding for higher education or the way in which people seem to acquiesce to these developments and look toward the "benevolence" of private enterprise as our fiscal salvation.
Unfortunately there has been little debate or discussion on this issue. The press reports that funding for education is getting cut and then someone is inevitably quoted as saying that now, more than ever, we need to get those corporate contracts, and the story ends there.
This is not now it has to be. Rather than running to corporate America for educational dollars, and thus further privatizing public
education, we need to turn our focus back to the public sector and demand increased funding from the federal government.
A
First, since the business community is probably the greatest beneficiary of education, it needs to do its fair share in contributing to the
Now you're thinking one of two things — or maybe you're thinking both. First you're thinking "nice dream, but where does this money come from?" Well, here are some thoughts.
federal coffers. This means re-instituting a progressive income tax not only on individual wealth, but also on corporate profits.
Large corporations have gotten away with exploiting workers and raping the environment for so many years without paying much, if any, in the form of taxes, that it is time that they begin to repay the society from which they have taken so much. (If you like to think that corporations and the rich do pay a high proportion of total taxes, I suggest reading Bartlett and Steele's America: Who Really Pays the Taxes?)
Second, and this is related to the first one, we need to end corporate welfare. Corporations receive federal subsidies, massive tax breaks, and non-monetary "gifts," such as ridiculously
cheap land, that far exceed the amount of money spent on welfare for the citizenry — like Medicare, welfare and so on.
Now, no one talks about this corporate welfare much. Why? Because our moderate to right-wing politicians, essentially all of them, would have a hard time moralizing against the poor and lauding the virtues of free enterprise and competition if they acknowledge that it is the rich who are being propped up the most by federal tax dollars. But it is done, and the money is spent, and so it needs to be redirected to federal programs, such as public education, that benefit the people directly.
Third, we could stand to slash our military budget by, oh, let's say more than $200 billion. We outspend what the rest of the industrialized world combined spends on the military. Enough is enough. Hundreds of millions for the 90s version of the star wars system, millions for jet fighters that the Pentagon doesn't even want, and so on.
The point is that the money does exist, which brings me back to what I said earlier that you could be thinking two things. Well here's the second one. You could also be thinking that taxes are bad, and it's the right of the rich to have all that money, and privately funded education is better, and so on.
The public sector is the only place where our limited form of democracy can be exercised. It is only as a tax payer that you have a voice, and as more and more of our public institutions fall under the influence of corporate and private funds, we increasingly lose our voice.
You don't get to vote for the CEO of Coke, but you do get to vote for Congress and the president. We need to put the funding of our schools back into the public arena where the needs of the people are supposed to take precedent, instead of giving them over to the corporate sector, where the need for profit rules.

Feedback
Abused not weak
Thank you to Jen Barlow for her compelling column on abusive relationships in the Nov. 4 issue of the Kansan. Violence in intimate relationships affects many college students, but as Barlow illustrates, it is often difficult to identify when you're in a problematic relationship. Trusting your instincts and recognizing the signs of abuse are critical to leaving an abusive relationship. Just as critical, however, is receiving help from others who can support the survivor throughout this difficult process. The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center (684-3552), Women's Transitional Care Services (843-3333) and Rape Victim/Survivor Services (841-2345) are wonderful local organizations that can provide information and assistance.
We appreciate Barlow's mentioning the difficulty in escaping abusive relationships. While many people question why survivors stay, the truth is the complicated dynamics in these relationships make it difficult to leave. Remaining in an abusive relationship is not an indication of weakness. It requires great strength to endure the emotional, mental, and physical trauma involved. Moving forward, however, requires courage, support and resources.
Kathy Rose-Mocky and Laura Montgomery Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center
Read Darwin
On a final note, we understand Barlow's not wanting to label herself a feminist, but feminism simply means believing everyone should be free and equal. However you label yourself, Ms. Barlow, we're glad you're free.
I was distressed to read Jonathan Wells stating that "Darwinism ruled out a divine creator" (Kansan, 11/10). Before those like Wells and his colleagues proselytize their notion of intelligent design, they should read Darwin's own writings; they might be surprised with what they find.
From the last chapter of Origin of Species: "To my mind it accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator, that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes,
like those determining the birth and death of the individual. When I view all beings not as special creations, but as the lineal descendants of some few beings ... they seem to become ennobled."
Abstinence OK
Partha Mazumdar Pittsburgh, Pa., graduate student
I just wanted to thank you for the abstinence article in the Sex on the Hill special. It is so reassuring to know that there are other college students out there that have chosen to wait. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the ways of the world today and just assume that sex is apart of the college experience. I am glad to see you covered both options. All in all, I found the special to be informative, very educational and hopefully beneficial to college students. Thank you for covering so many issues and keeping it all very respectable.

Fraternity takes first step toward new KU chapter
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas will be a step closer to seeing its newest fraternity chapter this weekend
A representative from the Pi Kappa Pi fraternity national headquarters will visit the campus to learn more about the University and begin making arrangements.
The new chapter of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity will be open next semester through a formal establishment process called colonization.
Bill Nelson, director of greek programs, said the colonization was significant and exciting because the greek community had not brought a new chapter to campus through colonization since 1992, when the local chapter of Alpha Xi Delta sorority was established. It closed last year. He said the last fraternity chapter the University colonized was Theta Chi in the 1940s.
The colonization begins when the Interfraternity Council or Panhellenic Association, acting on behalf of the University,
invites a fraternity to establish a local chapter.
Last May, such an invitation was extended to the PI Kappa Phi headquarters, based in Charlotte, N.C.
Jeff Esola, Pi Kappa Phi national director of expansion, said his visit to Lawrence would be his first to Kansas.
Esola said finding a fraternity house would be a long-term goal that he would begin working on.
"I want to get a better feel for greek life on campus," he said. "I want to know firsthand what works and what it's like."
He said he planned to meet with various University officials, speak to students and learn about the area.
Esoa said that 530 fraternity alumni live within 60 miles of campus and that he would speak to some of them who would be helping with the colonization.
Michael Henry, Overland Park senior, was vice president of the Pi Kappa Phi chapter at Kansas State University before transferring to the University.
He said he had helped with the planning of the new chapter and would be its adviser when it opened for membership.
"I want to get a better feel for greek life on campus.I want to know firsthand what works and what it's like."
Jeff Esola national director of expansion for Pi Kappa Phi
"I was really excited when I found out about it because that was something that meant a lot to me at K-State," he said.
Henry said he did not know how many members the Pi Kappa Phi would have next semester, so he was not sure how the chapter would affect other fraternities on campus.
Nelson said that the colonization process could take weeks but that area alumni and members from other chapters would help. The closest area chapter is at Kansas State University.
"It's a very important time," Nelson said. "With colonization comes a rejuvenation and new interest in the program."

Course content subcommittee revived
By Chris Borniger
wriher.kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Three student senators want University of Kansas students to know what they can expect from their classes before they enroll.
Senate revived the Course Content subcommittee, which maintains a Web site with sylabuses from classes among several departments. The site's address is http://www.ukans.edu/~content.
"All the groundwork was laid last year, and I just didn't want the issue to die out," he said.
J. D. Jenkins, the subcommittee's chairman and senior holdover senator, said it was started last year when Student Senate was busy and didn't have the time or resources to promote it.
With the help of Amy Cummins, graduate senator, and Sarah Schreck, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and the subcommittee's chairwoman last spring, the subcommittee will send letters to faculty members petitioning them to post class information on the site and send letters to instructors who already have done so.
Jenkins said both instructors and students could benefit from the site. Students, he said, received the obvious benefit of seeing the syllabuses without having to class-shop, whereas instructors wouldn't have to deal with a lot of students dropping the class and, thus, changing class rosters.
Once students and faculty start using the site, Jenkins said, it should be able to support itself.
"We'll never have 100 percent of the faculty using it, but maybe we can get 70 or 80 percent," he said. "I really think if we work hard and get the faculty on

The Course Content site isn't the first
Senate effort to bring class information to students. In the fall of 1971, Senate published Feedback: A Guide to KU Courses, which contained student's opinions on courses and their instructors.
Also, from spring 1987 to fall 1989. Senate distributed Course Source, which contained information about each course's instructor and his or her teaching method, a course description and a reading list. Senate cut funding for Course Source in January 1990.
The Course Content Web site mirrored many of the categories in former publications.
Cummins, a graduate teaching assistant, listed her English 211: Introduction to Drama course on the site. She said the subcommittee wanted to promote actively the site so it could be a valuable resource by next spring's enrollment.
Dorice Elliott, assistant professor of English, posted information from four of her classes on the site. She said that the site made the process simple but that promoting it wouldn't relieve other instructors' apprehension.
"I think it's a reasonable goal to have the site a lot bigger and more comprehensive before enrollment," she said.
"There are still a lot of faculty on campus who are kind of scared of technology," she said. "A lot of them are from the generation before computers."

Dailey to give couples advice about intimacy

When Stacie Daniels wanted to talk about her relationship with her fiancee before their wedding in July, she decided to approach a familiar face on campus — Dennis Dalley.

counseling before we get married."
This will be the second year Dalley has offered the workshop at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Thad Holcombe, ECM pastor, said he had received great evaluations about last year's workshop.
"A lot of the couples said they were able to see and listen to other couples with similar experiences and it made their problems come to the surface," he said. "We had to turn people away last year."
The workshop, which has not yet filled up, is open to anyone in a committed relationship regardless of sexual orientation. Holcombe said.
"People feel comfortable talking at the ECM because we are open to exploring sexuality and intimacy," he said. "Sexuality is an important part of our personality and spirit. We try to present alternative ideas in a safe setting and talk it about because it's so crucial to who we are."

senior, attended Dailey's workshop with her long-term boyfriend last year. She said the experience brought them closer together by making them view their relationship in a new light.
"It makes you talk about things you don't normally talk about but are always there," she said. "We didn't go because there were problems in the relationship. But what was good is even better now."
Shaw said Dailey made all of the couples feel comfortable talking about their innermost emotions in front of total strangers.
"He just has a great way of helping you get past it," she said. "It's very intense thinking — it weeps you out and you need a nap afterwards."
The workshop will be from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
tonight and will continue from 9 a.m. to
3 p.m. tomorrow. The cost is $25 for student

Weekend trip to New York up for grabs at suitcase dance
By Lori O'Otole
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Two dollars and two cans of food will be the small price one student will pay for a trip for two to New York this weekend.
The trip will be the grand prize of the semi-formal New York-themed suitcase dance from 9 to midnight tonight at Ellsworth Hall.
The winner of the trip will leave via limousine from the dance with a guest of his or her choice to spend the night in a Kansas City hotel.
Jessica Fishback, Ellsworth Hall president and Florissant, Mo., sophomore, said that all students were invited to attend, and that they should bring a suitcase packed for the weekend in case they win the trip.
Tomorrow morning, the two will fly to New York. The students will return to Lawrence Monday afternoon. The prize will include the transportation and hotel fees as well as $200 for each person for spending money.
The dance, which will be sponsored by Ellsworth, Lewis and Templin hall gov-
errments, is the third consecutive Daisy Hill suitcase dance.
"It's been a traditional program, and we want to keep it going," Fishback said. "It will be a lot of fun."
WILL be a lot of fun.
She said the food and money collected would be donated to an adopted family for their Thanksgiving dinner.
Jennifer Timmer, Lawrence sophmore and Templin Hall vice president, said the money for the dance came from the three halls' budgets. The Association of University Residence Halls donated $600, and Continental Airlines donated the plane tickets.
Although the grand prize will not be awarded until midnight, Timmer said other smaller prizes, such as CDs, movie tickets and restaurant gift certificates, would be awarded throughout the night.
In past years, about 200 people attended the dances.
"There's always the skeptics that don't think they have chance," Timmer said. "But then there's the people who just think it's a fun dance, and beyond that, they have a chance to win a great prize."
Mindi Nielsen, Colby junior, won the
trip to New York two years ago. She and her former Ellsworth Hall roommate, Topeka junior Abbecy Baker, packed the afternoon before the dance and agreed to take each other as her guest if one of them won.
"This little thing inside me said I was going to win." Nielsen said.
While in New York City, the two visited the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Broadway. They attended the Today Show and appeared on television.
"My favorite part was just the fact that I went to New York City by myself without my parents during my freshman year," Nielsen said, adding that it had been one of the most exciting things she had done during college.
Study breaks, pizza and beer contribute to 'freshman 15'
She also offered an important packing tip to those who planned to attend the dance this year.
"Make sure you bring gloves and a coat," Nielsen said. "It's colder up there than it is down here. We didn't have the right clothes, and we were cold the whole time we were there."

All-you-can-eat buffets. Fast food. Pizza delivery at 2 a.m. Sega. Study breaks. Beer. It's no wonder the freshman 15 is no myth for college freshmen.
Jay Falley, Topeka sophomore, said the 15-pound weight gain that many say is inevitable, crept up on him and his friends.
"One of my friends blew up really bad," Falley said. "He worked some of it off, but he looked like he was having a baby."
Falley gained 15 pounds himself give or take a few. He attributed the weight gain to the change in the social scene — study snack breaks, a lack of available healthy food, and of course, the pizza.
"I would never memorize the number to Pizza Shuttle," he said. "That probably did it for me."
"Weight gain is common among college students," she said. "It's due in part to a more sedentary lifestyle, to alcohol consumption and to higher-fat food."
Ann Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health Center dietitian said that although it was not as inevitable as it seems, weight gain often started freshman year and could continue throughout anyone's college career.
Many students said the sedentary lifestyle of college easily could contribute to an enlarged gut by Christmas break.
"You're not doing sports two hours every day after school; you're keeping up on schoolwork, deciding what bars to go to," said Dana Bowne, Wheaton, Ill., senior.
Nathan Gonzales, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said he hadn't seen any major weight gain yet, but he knew his new lifestyle encouraged it.
"Classes take up too much time,"
Gonzales said. "I haven't been able to work out as much as I used to. I'm definitely out of shape."
Bowne said she put on seven or eight pounds her freshman year, but she soon took it off. She overcame the freshman 15, but her friends still joked about the next classes of incoming freshmen.
"They're always so perfect and skinny and we say, 'Wait until they get some beer under their belts,' Bowne said.
The beer, as well as the residence hall food, were other sources of enlarged waistlines.
Jessie Grimes, Wathena sophomore, said she found it was easier to keep weight off when she moved from the Oliver Hall to Alpha Delta Pi sorority.
"The food at the house is healthier and also it's not buffet style," she said. "There's not as much to choose from. You can't go back for seconds and thirds so it's not as easy to eat as much.
Chapman said that despite misconceptions, weight gain was not acceptable as we aged. The excess weight could cause heart disease, the United States' leading cause of death, high blood and cholesterol levels.
"You need to be concerned about your weight gain when it begins to impair your health or puts you at extra risk." Chanman said.
Chapman recommended watching fat intake, eating more fruits and vegetables and getting help from a support group such as Weight Watchers, a health club or a dietitian like herself.
Many older students said they eventually lost their freshman 15. Falley said he lost his gut during the summer break but admitted to putting some of the weight back on.
"Freshman 15, I got rid of that, and I'm working on my sophomore 15," he said.

Picasso, Einstein share the stage
New University Theatre production was written by actor Steve Martin
By Warisa Chulindra Special to the Konson
Art encounters science when artist Pablo Picasso and scientist Albert Einstein meet at a Paris bar in actor Steve Martin's first play, *Picasso at the Lanin Apile*.
The University Theatre will perform the production this weekend.
"People think that the play will be funny since Steve Martin wrote it," said cast member David Martin, Leawood sophomore. "And it actually is."
Set in 1904 at the dawn of the modern age, the play explores the possibility of Picasso and Einstein meeting and influencing each other. In the play, the two meet three years before Picasso painted "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" and a year before Einstein proposed the theory of relativity.
While the play is fictional, it is set at the Lapin Agile in Paris, a bar Picasso often visited.
Director Doug Weaver said the play was a modern historical treat for audiences.
"Steve Martin was trying to bring together two characters who made important contributions in the dawn of the century," he said. "It's an idea play. Very few plays incorporate humor and ideas so well."
FOTO: JADE MAYORAL
Weaver said the humor used in the play ranged from slap-stick to intelligent. He also said some surprises were in store for the audience but would not comment further.
The play is part of the University of Kansas' Millennium Celebration coordinated by the Hall Center for the Humanities.
There will be a free panel discussing themes of the play, such as art versus science, at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at Borders Books and Music, 700 New Hampshire St. Panel members will include Matt Mozier, a composer and musician with the band; Arthur Dodge and the Horsefeathers; Stan Herd, crop artist; Alfred J. Lata, actor and lecturer of chemistry; and Don Schawang, adjunct instructor of theater.
The play will be at 8 tonight and tomorrow night and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. There also will be performances at 8 p.m.
Nov. 18 through 20.

First lady's West Bank visit ignites tensions
The Associated Press
RAMALLAH. West Bank — Palestinians pushed the statehood issue into the spotlight yesterday during Hillary Rodham Clinton's visit, triggering an angry response from Israel and potentially complicating the first lady's efforts to court Jewish voters back home.
During a two-day visit that ended last night, Clinton largely managed to steer clear of controversy, visiting hospitals and a youth-counseling center, delivering speeches and making symbolic pilgrimages to Israel's Holocaust memorial and to the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site.
But tensions flared during her single foray into the West Bank.
At a ceremony in Ramallah intended to commemorate a $3.8 million U.S. grant for health care in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's wife used a speech introducing the first lady to rail
against environmental and health damage she maintained was caused by Israel's 30 year occupation of the Palestinian lands.
for an independent state on their native soil
Soha Arafat also referred to Palestinian statehood aspirations, speaking of the desire
on their native soil.
At one point, Jihad Mashaal, the director of one of the private Palestinian groups receiving the grant, looked directly at the first lady and said,
"Next time, I hope we host you in our state of Palestine and in its capital, Jerusalem."
Jerusalem's status is hotly disputed, with Israel claiming sovereignty over all the city and the Palestinians seek
P
and the Palestinians seeking to make the tra
Clinton: Was unruffled as Palestinians pushed for statehood
ditionally Arab sector the capital of their future state. The issue is supposed to be settled in negotiations between the two sides that began this week.
The first lady appeared unruffled during the remarks, with no change in her expression or posture, but Israel reacted with irritation. A statement from the prime minister's office condemned the statements.
It would be preferable if the Palestinian side were to bring its positions to the negotiating table," the statement said. "Poisoning the public atmosphere does not contribute to the success of these negotiations."
The strained atmosphere in the brief West Bank stopover was a stark contrast to Clinton's visit to a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip last December. Then, people waved, cheered and clambered atop roofs and crowded onto balconies to catch a glimpse of her.
Of the first lady's appearances in Israel, the centerpiece was a trip to the Western Wall.
Judaism's holiest site.
Accompanied by her daughter, Chelsea, and by Naya Barak, the wife of the Israeli prime minister, Clinton tucked a note into a crack in the Wall — as is customary for observant Jews — and paused for a moment in reflection. Chelsea knelt before the large honey-colored boulders and also slipped in a piece of paper:
Hours earlier, mother and daughter had visited another important Israeli touchstone, the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial. Clinton honored the memory of 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis, rekindling an eternal flame and laying a wreath with a red-and-white ribbon.
The first lady stood in silence, her head bowed and her hands clasped, during the ceremony in the somber, stone-lined Hall of Remembrance. Later she wrote in the Yad Vashem guest book, "May God bless Israel and the Jewish people and may we always remember — and never forget — that all of us must work for peace."
Russia rejects pleas to end attack on Chechen capital
The Associated Press
GROZNY, Russia— Russian forces hammered the capital of breakaway Chechnya with savage barrages of artillery and rocket fire yesterday as Moscow rejected Chechen pleas for talks to end the fighting.
Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said Russia was prepared to end the military actions by tomorrow but only if Chechen rebels surrendered — a condition the Chechens won't accept.
Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov appealed to Russian President Boris Yeltsin for negotiations in an open letter yesterday. He said the problems couldn't be solved by war and instead urged dialogue. Yeltsin's interior minister, Vladimir Rushailo, who is in charge of internal security, said he opposed any talks.
Russian troops stationed on the Terek Ridge that looms above the northern outskirts of Grozny lashed the city with rockets and shells. The intense barrage was witnessed by an Associated Press reporter, who had to take shelter for several hours behind concrete blocks.
Troops also continued their assault on Gudermes, Chechnya's second-largest city,
and Col. Gen. Valery Manilov said soldiers would start to occupy the city today. Seizing Gudermes, 21 miles east of Grozny, would be a significant victory for the Russians.
Advance Russian units reached the town of Argun, also east of Grozny yesterday. Chechen commanders admitted their forces were being forced back in several areas.
Russia also shelled the rebel stronghold of Bamut in Chechnya's southwest, and Manilov said the campaign to take that key city was likely to continue for many days. In addition, Russian guns and warplanes struck a half-dozen other areas, Russian news agencies reported.
Manilov said some 280 Russian troops had been killed and about 600 wounded since September, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported. Russia said last week that about 150 of its soldiers had been killed.
Russia says its Chechnya campaign, which began with airstrikes in early September, is aimed at liquidating Islamic rebels. But Russia increasingly appears determined to regain full control of the republic, which has been effectively independent since a 1994-96 war.
EgyptAir crash still a mystery
Experts hope to find cockpit's voice recorder for answers
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — With the flight data recorder from EgyptAir Flight 990 showing things were normal until the autopilot mysteriously disconnected, investigators looking into the Oct. 31 crash said it was all the more important that they recovered the plane's cockpit voice recorder.
The search for that second recorder deep in the Atlantic Ocean near Rhode Island was suspended about 5:30 a.m. yesterday because of rough seas. The voice recorder may not only reveal what the pilots said to each other but also what other noises or alarms were audible in the cockpit.
In Boeing airplanes, for example, an alarm sounds if the autoplot disconnect button isn't pressed twice — a way to prevent the pilots from missing an accidental disengagement.
"We await information off the cockpit voice recorder, when it is recovered, that can help us put this information in context," said Jim Hall, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. on Wednesday as he revealed the first bits of information from the plane's flight data recorder.
rhail said the New York-to-Cairo flight had been cruising normally at 33,000 feet when the autopilot disconnected. That is unusual because the plane was just beginning its cruise across the Atlantic Ocean. Hall refused to say if the autopilot disconnected manually or automatically.
About eight seconds later, the flight began what appeared to be a controlled descent from 33,000 feet to about 19,000 feet, Hall said.
five to 10 seconds of information on its tape are still being extracted by safety board technicians. Without that information, details from the cockpit tape or more analysis of radar data showing that the plane later climbed briefly before plunging to the ocean, investigators are having difficulty explaining the crash.
Hall dashed speculation that the plane's initial plunge was caused by a problem with a thrust reverser — the cause of a 1991 crash of another Boeing 767 in Thailand.
The recorder stopped shortly afterward, and the final
Thrust reversers are used to slow an airplane upon touchdown with the runway. One of EgyptAir's reversers was out of service at the time of the crash.
"There is no evidence of thrust reverser deployment in the data we have," Hall said.
Flight 990 took off early Halloween morning from New York's Kennedy International Airport, rising to 33,000 feet before plunging into the sea south of Nantucket Island, Mass., about 40 minutes after takeoff. All 217 people aboard were killed.
Investigators have not ruled out any possible cause, including mechanical failure, human error, sabotage and terrorism.
The flight data recorder was designed to capture more than 150 types of information from 55 aircraft systems during a rolling 25-hour period.
Among them were such things as the plane's altitude, speed, spin and roll, when electrical power was cut off and how the autopilot functioned.
The search for the cockpit voice recorder has been conducted by two remote-controlled underwater robots. Deen Drone and Magnum.
Seas exceeded 10 feet yesterday morning, but the forecast called for the possibility of good weather today and tomorrow. Although the search was suspended this morning, Navy, Coast Guard and the civilian salvage ship Carolyn Chouest remained in anticipation of calmer waters.
Student gunman sentenced to jail for 112 years without parole
The Associated Press
EUGENE, Ore. — Victims of Kip Kinkel's shooting rampage at Thurston High School were relieved to see the gunman who has tormented their dreams the past year and a half sent to prison for the rest of his life.
"I am so glad Kip Kinkel will be put behind the bars," said Teresa Miltonberger, one of 25 students injured in the May 1998 attack at Springfield's Thurston High School. She nearly died after being shot in the head. "If he wasn't, I wouldn't feel safe."
Kinkel, 17, on Wednesday was sentenced to nearly 112 years in prison — effectively a death sentence because he will not be entitled to parole.
Before the sentence was issued, Kinkel read an apology from a small sheet of white paper.
"I absolutely loved my parents and had no reason to kill them," he said. "I had no reason to dislike or kill or try to kill anyone at Thurston. I am truly sorry for all of this."
Judge Jack Mattison said it was more important to make the victims feel safe than to try to rehabilitate Kinkel, who was 15 when he went on the shooting spree.
Kinkel's attorneys said that the sentence was too harsh and that they planned to appeal.
"There was some possibility of a better result at trial," attorney Ruth Mullen said. "We're very disappointed."
After being expelled from school for having a stolen gun in his locker, Kinkel killed his parents at their home on May 20, 1998. The next day he opened fire on the packed cafeteria at Thurston High School. Mikael Nickolauson and Ben Walker were killed.
Kinkel later told doctors he had been hearing voices telling him to kill since he was 12. Experts testified he was psychotic, probably paranoid schizophrenic, and deeply depressed.
Prosecutors discounted the effects of mental illness, saying that Kinkel had spoken often to his friends about taking a gun to school and that he had been nasty and violent since he was a little boy.

Nothing but depressing
Anywhere But Here a never-ending tragedy
PATRONELLA MAYORAL
By Brendan Walsh
Kansan movie critic
A double dose of Prozac is in order before viewing Anywhere But Here, a depressing melodrama about a mother and daughter searching for meaning in Beverly Hills. Directed by Wayne Wang (The Joy Luck Club) and based on a novel by Mona Simpson, the film is a nonstop tearjerker that offers little in the way of entertainment or insight.
Ann is mad about having to move to the West Coast, doesn't fit in well at
Natalie Portman (The Phantom Menace) portrays Ann August, whose mother, Adele (Susan Sarandon), has just divorced her boring husband, Ann's stepfather. Adele decides to move, with her daughter, to Beverly Hills. It soon becomes apparent that Adele isn't mentally stable. If she isn't outright crazy she's at least way too immature to be a mother. She has problems remembering to pay the electric bill, likes to live beyond her means and is more interested in repairing a scratch on her 20-year-old car than buying furniture for her apartment.

her Beverly Hills high school (no, none of the 90210 gang make cameos) and hates having to be the responsible one in the family. She fosters a warped co-dependence between herself and her mother though she dreams of leaving home everyday.
Several tragedies follow a teen-ager dies, a grandparent has a stroke, a biological father rejects his offspring and a man uses a woman for sex. As each event unfolds, the movie falls into a downward spiral toward hopelessness. It's so depressing that that one finds it easy to cheer for consumption of Ann's suggestive relationship with her male cousin.
The film's few redeeming moments
always involve Ann or Adele's interaction with outside characters, not with each other.
Portman and Sarandon are believable and even do a great job in their roles. But that hardly makes up for the clichéd, melodramatic events in the film. Crazy people just aren't
entertainting in this context, and the overly sentimental plot remains superficial, not insightful. Sappy films have their place in the canon, but they are supposed to be ultimately uplifting and invigorating. They shouldn't make audiences beeline for the liquor cabinet in search of relief.

If you had just one word to sum up John Burnham Schwartz's latest novel, *Reservation Road*, haunting would be perfect.
Dwight Arno, the man responsible for the crime, flees the scene but cannot escape the memory. Since his divorce, Dwight's relationship with his son, the same age as the boy who died, has become troubled. The strain of dealing with his conscience further drives the wedge between Dwight and his son.
The book opens with a terrible accident on a dark highway one summer night. It is narrated by the young victim's father, Ethan Learner. Thereafter, a rotating cast of main characters chronicle the unfolding nightmare, creating a story of despair in three dimensions. The result is ominous
Grace Learner, Ethan's wife and mother of the victim, slips into a deep depression following her son's death, and she and Ethan grow apart. Their other child, an 8-year-old daughter, is left living in a somber, almost lifeless home,

where its inhabitants go through the motions of day-to-day activities.
And this goes on for 292 pages.
While Schwartz's writing style is deeply emotional and compelling, this book is just depressing. It is a study of how people try to deal with an unthinkable tragedy and in this case, fall — at least as far as we find out by the end of the book. The conclusion of the story leaves somesemblance of hope for peace to find its way back into these torn-apart lives, but it leaves no real assurance that this will happen.
To his credit, Schwartz does a fine job of pulling the reader through the story; wondering if Ethan will find the revenge he seeks, if Grace will fold under the weight of her
loss and if Dwight will overcome his guilt and become a better father.
Each chapter delves further into the pain these three experience in gut-wrenching detail. Memories of their respective sons constantly flood their thoughts; everything is a reminder of the son they lost, the son Dwight is on the verge of losing. They are left wondering if there is still a valid reason to continue life.
Sound depressing enough? If you're looking for commiseration, this book can provide it. The simple memories the Learners have of their son - saving a turtle in the middle of the road, carving his first pumpkin, playing the violin - are images that will stick in most readers' minds because of their simplicity. As I read the book, these images haunted my mind as they haunted the characters.
This is not a book to be read with the end-of-the-semester stress on the horizon. Most people have enough to deal with in their lives. I know I don't need to read the intimate details of what boils down to simply a book of deeply sad people and their thoughts.

Sincere simplicity establishes Willis as new king of pop
By Chris Eckert
Kansan music critic
In the world of pop music, predictable sounds and interesting sound bytes are the lifeblood of many careers. In both of these realms, Wesley Willis should by all rights be the next King of Pop.
On Wesley Willis's
Album facts
Title: Greatest Hits Vol. 2
On Wesley Willis' Greatest Hits Vol. 2, Willis, a diagnosed schizophrenic, weaves a sonic tapestry of intricate guitar work and complex Beach Boyslike harmonies. OK, he doesn't. He's a big burly formerly homeless guy from Chicago who headbutts people to greet them and used to sell ballpoint pen drawings for money. That was until someone suggested he try to write music and gave him a keyboard.
Artist: Wesley Willis
Grade: A
Label: Bicycle Music Company
Willis produces what really is outsider art more than any sort of novelty. There's a sincerity and love to the songs that just isn't evident in calculated gimick albums. With the exception of a couple songs from his full band effort, the Wesley Willis Flasco, each song follows a very similar mold.
The demonstration melody of the keyboard kicks off the song. It may be a different "instrument" on the keyboard, but the same melody. Then Willis speaks over the melody with staccato verses about the titles of the songs, such as "They Threw Me Out of Church," "I Broke Out Your Windshield" and "Feel the Power of Rock & Roll." Willis then croons the title of the song for a chorus, and then repeats. Each song ends with his trademark motto, "Rock over London / Rock on Chicago," culminating with a commercial motto such as, "Arby's – Different is Good." This formula is repeated 20 times on this album.
Willis honestly appears to love every band he meets. Several of his valentines show up on this collection, including "Lotion," "The Frogs" and "Jello Biafra." He also waxes poetic on his "buddy" Arnold Schwarzenegger on a song sadly missing off of the *End of Days* movie soundtrack.
To many this is repetitive, even boring. But when listening to it in the background, Willis approaches a near Teletubbies-like Zen. It's a familiar formula, almost a mantra, only with tiny variations. The lack of subtext and agenda and the pure emotion, just like in Teletubbies, can produce a state of calm and peace.
On "Oil Express," Willis describes how well a local oil change company changed the oil of his car. Since the liner notes state that Willis does not own a car, this song obviously is not true, just as "Birdman Kicked My Ass" and others probably are works of imagination. While this is confusing and counter to the honesty infused in this album, it's almost to the level of gonzo songwriting. In the tradition of Hunter S. Thompson, Willis does not let the facts get in the way of the truth. Even if he has no car, you know Oil Express did the job and did it right. And Willis certainly has experienced the pain of Birdman's assaults in his life.
The most pleasantly surprising inclusions on this collection are two covers of near-forgotten songs, Duran Duran's "Girls on Film" and Pure Prairie League's "Amie". Both are performed by the Flasco with enthusiasm and respect for the original, and Willis does his best to make sure that the crowds will roar like a lion.
While many will dismiss the career of Wesley Willis as novelty or exploitive, he is a musician like any other — making music he loves. And because of his unqualified love of the music, Willis is one of the few true rock stars left in the world.

Kansas wary of Cowboys' defensive set
Chicago Bears made strategy famous in'85
By Mike Miller
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
It's not just the opposing crowd that worries coach Terry Allen this weekend; it's the unpredictability of the Oklahoma State defense
The Cowboys play the '46 defense, a scheme made famous by the Chicago Bears when they won the Super Bowl in the 1985 season. The defense relies on pressuring the quarterback by rushing as many as eight players while relying on the secondary to play tight man-to-man coverage.
It's a defense that can create a lot of turnovers but also can take a beating if the offense recognizes coverages and blitzes.

being difficult to rush against and it's difficult to protect the quarterback with. But it is also a defense, because of that nature, that has shown a tendency to give up big plays."
20 21 SU BLACK MOUTH
Of course, it's a lot easier to have success with the defense if a team has the players Chicago did.
But that's not to say the Cowboys, 3-5 overall, 1-4 in the Big 12 Conference, aren't loaded with talent. Senior Kenyatta Wright is an All-Big 12 linebacker, and the Cowboys rank 28th in the NCAA in total defense.
So how does Kansas, 4-6 overall, 2-4 in the Big 12, prepare for a defense that seldom positions a linebacker in the same place twice?

Australia's best to take on Kansas
By Matt Tait

Kansan sportswriter
This time things are going to be different.
In its second exhibition at 7:05 p.m. tomorrow against Australia's Geelong Supercats at Allen Fieldhouse, Coach Roy Williams, as well as members of the team, will hope to change those facts.
In Kansas' first preseason game last Saturday, the Jayhawks scored 124 points without even running its new offense. To go along with those 124 points, however, were 24 turnovers.
get to set any of our offense and I've always said that to beat the good teams you've got to play good half-court offense and half-court defense and we don't know if we can do that yet."
Very little is known about what the Supercats will plan defensively. What is known, however, is that the Supercats won the 1999 Australian Basketball Association championship, making them Australia's best.
"I hope it will be a somewhat different type of game, because we need to work on some of our offensive stuff," Williams said. "The other night was such a helter-skeler game that we didn't
This year's team promises to offer Kansas a much tougher test than the 140-78 beating they suffered last year at Allen Fieldhouse, saying that they are a tenacious team with fighting spirit and potential to beat anyone.

Women find strengths from mediocre performance
By Melinda Weaver
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
In Tuesday night's 80-67 victory against Club Gija Mirajampole, the Kansas women's basketball team did not look like a Final Four-caliber team.
"I was much more optimistic after watching the game film," Washington said. "I have a group of girls who listen well and work hard to try to improve any way they can."
But after reviewing the game film, coach Marian Washington says her team is closer to its preseason goal than she thought after the game.
The Jayhawks could not stop a mediocre Club Gija team from scoring 67 points Tuesday night, and the offense made several mistakes against Club Gija's zone defense.
During Wednesday's practice, the team had a long film session to discuss the positive and negative aspects of the first exhibition game of the season.
"We talked a lot about the game," Washington said. "I wanted to make sure they were aware of the positives. We watched the film to watch the areas where we did do well and the areas we could improve on. They put forth a good effort, but they didn't always make good decisions."
Against Club Gia, the defense did not perform to its expectations and was not effective against the team's inside players. Center Zane Rozite scored 24 points in 6-of-9 shooting. She also was 12-of-14 from the free-throw line.
After watching the game film, the team spent the majority of practice focusing on defense.
The Jayhawks allowed 27 points from
"We had a lot of defensive breakdowns," said guard Jennifer Jackson. "We just need to focus on communication and learn when to come in and help each other."
the free-throw line, another sign that showed they could not stop Club Gija in the paint.
Jackson said that the best way to improve defense was to work through drills in practice and play with more intensity during the scriffimages.
Washington said she was not worried about the defense.
"Year in and year out, we have been known for our defense," Washington said. "We are able to keep most of our opposition under their point average. It just takes hard work and discipline. Everyone has to be on the same page, and that should improve as the season goes along."
Kansas offense also struggled as it tried to run the tripost nort for the first time. The
KL
women's BASKETBALL
b biggest problem was that Club Gija ran a zone defense, and the Jayhawks had been practicing against a man-to-man defense.
"We had a lot of people scoring, which was a big plus." Washington said. "We weren't always patient with our offense, but we found ways to score. Last season, we averaged 63 points, so I hope that this indicates we can put more points on the board this season."
However, there were several positives in the Kansas offensive performance. The team had five players in double figures and scored 17 points more than last season's average.

Star player, supporting cast will see Kansas to Final Four
The Kansas basketball team is good.
Strike that. It's great.
The Jayhawks return an impact player who was hampered last season with a knee injury. They also entered the exhibition season in the AP Top 25 for the eighth consecutive year.
Enough talk. How far will this team go? Anything but a NCAA Tournament run all the way to Philadelphia in March might be labeled as a disappointing sea- son.
It returns a majority of the starters and nearly all of the talent base from a team that fought to the wire with one of the nation's elite in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season.
Philadelphia? But isn't the men's Final Four in Indianapolis? Oh, but we're not discussing the men's team.

You've read this far, so you might as well stick with me. Because the women's team has the most legitimate shot at making an extended March run.

Let's look at the facts. Championship
teams have a star player. For every team men or women, there will come a time in the NCAA Tournament when it will be tied late in the game and the coach will have to say to one player, "Here is the ball. Win the game for us."
Lynn Pride is that player.
Who would coach Roy Williams turn to? Nick Bradford could win an ESPY one time down the floor and dribble off his leg the next. Kenny Gregory will have to prove he can shake his nerves in the big games. And despite his preseason accolades, Eric Chenowith actually seems to have lost inches off his vertical leap — all three of them.
Jeff Boschee is probably the best bet, but a three-pointer is still at best a 40 percent shot.
Back-up point guard Casey Pruittt ruck an ACL her senior year in high school, came to Kansas early the next summer to rehabilitate, hurt the knee again that summer, and then retore it that fall. Three years later, she is now a back-up but still hustling for playing time. Pruitt embodies what the Jayhawks' supporting players represent.
Pride can score whenever she wants. With more aggressiveness she could seriously challenge for the National Player of the Year title,
They bang and bump. Pride glides and soars.
But no player has ever won a championship individually. It takes a supporting cast of members who know their roles.
Coach Marian Washington's cast, simply put, is made up of warriors. And the players have the scars to prove it. The team is nearing double-digits in knee surgeries. Suzi Rayman's return after last year's early-season ACL tear has been well-documented, but few know that center Nikki White has had more knee surgeries than she cares to remember and is playing without braces for the first time in her college career.
They do whatever it takes to win
When reporters ask Pride the goals of this season, she doesn't hesitate. "The Final Four." Nothing else will do, and the team agrees.
And as if a team of such focused athletes needed more motivation, this year's Final
Four is in Philadelphia. Coach Washington's hometown, West Chester, Pa., is a suburb of the city of brotherly love.
The Jayhawks are older and healthier now and ready to meet expectations.
Be sure to tell your relatives "hi" for me, Coach.

Wade Boggs retires, will scout new talent
TAMPA, Fla. — Wade Boggs, the newest member of baseball's 3,000 hit club, retired yesterday and accepted a front office job with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays that will include scouting and evaluating young talent.

Turnover war crucial for'Hawk win
Continued from page 1B
"You just have to find a guy and then block them," said junior guard Marc Owen.
Protecting the quarterback becomes easier with a mobile passer such as junior Dylen Smith because his ability to elude the rush will force Oklahoma State to not rush as many players.
Equally important is winning the turnover war. The Jayhawks and Cowboys are evenly matched in most areas, which means that turnovers and special teams will be critical.
in the last few weeks and with the dogmatic style of defense, if you stay away from the turnovers, you will have success," Allen said.
The other problem the Jayhawks face is the Oklahoma State crowd. The 'Hawks have gotten used to playing at home during the last three games, so it could be tough for them to focus with a hostile crowd. The visiting teams' benches are in front of the student body at Lewis Field, which gives the Cowboys an advantage.
"From what some people and other coaches have told me, it is a very difficult place to play." Allen said.
But senior nose tackle John Williams isn't too worried about the crowd. Kansas has played in some tough places this year, including Colorado, Texas A&M and Kansas State, and the distractions at Oklahoma State might not be any tougher than those places.
"The only real distraction that I've experienced on the road is K-State's band playing that song they play over and over again," Williams said. "It just makes you sick."

Supercats to try to avenge last year's 140-78 loss
Continued from page 1B
Tuesday, however, they were beaten by McNeese State 101-81 in front of a crowd of 200 people. Supercats guard Charles Terrell led the team with 25 points in the loss, and forward Henry Madden chipped in 18 points and 10 boards.
Not one player on the roster exceeds 6-foot-9, and Geelong only will suit up nine players for the contest.
That means that Kansas should be able to utilize what Williams calls its two biggest strengths to wear the Supercats down.
"I'll say it again, our depth and our size are our biggest strength."
Williams said. "You don't get as true a look at your team in practice as you do against somebody else."
When Williams looks Saturday night, what he'll see is a healthy Kansas team for the first time this preseason.
Both sophomore forward Jeff Carey and junior forward Luke Axtell missed the Jayhawks' first exhibition game, and Lester Earl was used cautiously because of a knee injury. All three practiced, at least partially, this week and will be suited up for the game expecting to play.
As for eliminating the turnovers, senior forward Nick Bradford said that he had no doubt that the team would respond to defense and offense changes.
"I think we'll be much calmer out there Saturday," Bradford said. "We'll pay more attention to detail and improve in our half-court." D'Obviously, the full-court press picks up the pace of the game, but when it comes down to it, you win with half-court D."
Bradford also said that the team had emphasized defense this week in practice through more communication, more intensity and more conditioning.
"I try to send a message not to be too high or too low," Bradford said. "It is exhibition and the regular season's not that easy, but at the same time some of the mistakes are understandable because of first-game jitters."

Bears want revenge on weary Jayhawks
By Shawn Hutchinson
Konson sportswriter
Two days after a heart-stopping victory, the Kansas volleyball team is still trying to find its pulse.
The Jayhawks rallied from numerous deficits in a 3-2 win against Oklahoma on Wednesday night, exhausting themselves during the two-hour match at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
"It was emotional," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "And we're glad that we have some days to recover."
That exhaustion is something that the Jayhawks hope doesn't continue into tomorrow's match at No. 23 Baylor.
BIG 12 STANDINGS
Kansas, 17-9 overall and 8-7 in the Big 12 Conference, will square off against the Bears at 5 p.m. tomorrow at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas. And don't think the Bears forgot about the last meeting between the two teams. The Jayhawks cruised to a 3-0 victory on Oct. 9 in Lawrence, as four Kansas players recorded double figure kill totals.
"We played really well when they were here," said Kansas middle blocker Anne Kreimer. "But they've been playing really well lately and beating some teams. It'll be a very competitive match."
Those teams that Baylor has beaten include nationally ranked Kansas State, Colorado and Texas. The Bears, however, have dropped two straight matches, including an upset loss at Missouri and a loss Wednesday night at No. 15 Texas &M.
Team Big 12 Overall
Nebraska 12-3 20-5
Texas 1-4 17-6
Texas A&M 11-4 20-5
Kansas State 11-4 17-6
Baylor 9-6 21-7
Colorado 9-6 15-9
*Kansas **8-7** **17-9**
*Texas Tech 4-10 15-12
Missouri 3-11 9-16
Oklahoma 3-12 8-17
*Iowa State 0-14 2-19
Another Baylor loss tomorrow would mean that the Bears and the Jayhawks would be tied in the Big 12 standings at 9-7. That could have some ramifications once NCAA tournament at-large bids are being handed out.
*Texas Tech played at Iowa State last night.
"If you look at the conference standings, it
would be significant," said Bechard, referring to a win against Baylor. "But we're just trying to get the conference win total as high as we can."
The Jayhawks' win against Oklahoma was their second straight overall. Two more victories may get Kansas consideration for the NCAA tournament, whereas three more wins would probably get the Jayhawks over the proverbial hump.
After Baylor, Kansas closes out its season at No. 15 Texas A&M, at home against No. 19 Kansas State, on the road against Iowa State, and at home against No. 22 Colorado.
Volleyball notes
Outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht recorded 14 kills against Oklahoma, giving her 1,119 for her career. She needs only four more kills to take over third place all-time in Kansas history and needs 28 more for second place. Middle blocker Amanda Reves is the all-time leader in kills with 1,178.
With the win against Oklahoma, the Jayhawks guaranteed themselves of finishing the season with a winning record for the first time since 1983.

Bradford leading basketball team in new Hoosiers-esque warm-up
By Matt Tait

For a few minutes Saturday night, Allen Fieldhouse resembled the gymnasium at Hickory High School in the movie Hoosiers.
Before the Jayhawks' exhibition game began, 12 basketball players went through their normal routine of drills. Dribbling, shooting, passing, stretching — it appeared to be business as usual. But then the transformation began.
Seniors Lester Earl and Terry Nooner flanked fellow senior Nick Bradford on each side as the three stood across the free-throw line and faced the south wall of Allen Fieldhouse. Facing them were nine of their teammates ready and waiting.
Waiting for Bradford to begin the team's new, Hoosiers-esque pregame drill.
and back.
Waiting for what?
On the signal from Bradford, the players began shuffling their feet in unison with knees bent, feet spread and hands out. Bradford yelled, "Ohhhhhhhh, left." — their feet shuffled left and back. "Ohhhhhhhh, right." — the players shuffled right
"Down." — the players dived on the floor in pairs, one to the right, one to the left, no collisions at all.
It was unlike anything ever seen before at Kansas, but it was not unfamiliar to basketball. Across the nation, high school teams everywhere warm up with the energetic drill. In fact, Bradford said that he got the idea from a high school in Michigan.
"They used it to get their team pumped up, and I thought it was pretty cool." Bradford said.
But while the idea came to Bradford from the Wolverine State, the idea to do it came from Kansas coach Roy Williams.
"Coach came up to me and asked what I thought," Bradford said. "He said we didn't have to do it if we didn't want, but I ran it by a coupleguys and they said let's give it a shot, so we did. When we came back in the locker room everyone seemed to think it was sweet — the crowd liked it, we liked it and it got us pumped up."
While motivation served as part of Williams' desire to try it, he also wanted to do it because it was fun, and that's what he wants basketball at Allen Fieldhouse to be.
"Tradition's great," Williams said. "And a lot of things around here are tradition, but I want the fieldhouse to be more fun."
celebratory chest bumps, showed that he was changing with the times.
Bradford said that request for fun by Williams, the same coach who a couple of years ago tried to tone down
"He knows that times are changing and that guys want to have more fun," Bradford said. "As long as we get it done out there on the floor, then he's a lot more lenient to what we do."
PARKER
And so the drill will go on. Earl and Bradford both said
Bradford: Got the idea from a Michigan high school
that the main reason they liked it was because it was different.
"It it gets us pumped up and it gets the crowd pumped up at the same time," Earl said.
Stanford defeats Duke in overtime
If all goes well, it may get the Jayhawks to Indianapolis — just like it did for Hickory High in Hoosiers.
— Edited by Shawn Linenberger
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Stanford started the season with a young team and late in its season opener got even younger.
The 13th-ranked Cardinal used an 8-2 run late in regulation and a 10-0 spurt in overtime and beat No. 10 Duke 80-79 last night in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.
What made the victory even more impressive was that senior forward Mark Madsen, the only returning starter from last season, pulled a hamstring in the final minute of regulation and didn't return.
"We made some big plays to get it to overtime, and a lot of guys stepped up," Stanford coach Mike Montgomery said. Montgomery said Madsen likely wouldn't play tonight.
Stanford will play the winner of the second game between No. 1 Connecticut and Iowa in tonight's championship game at Madison Square Garden.
Madsen wasn't there for the two big
runs that allowed the Cardinal to win the opener for the 11th straight season.
After the 8-2 run in the final 39 seconds of regulation, Chris Carrawell made two free throws 33 seconds into the extra session and gave Duke its final lead. Michael McDonald, who scored eight points, then started the 10-0 run with two 3-pointers.
Two quick baskets gave Stanford a 78-70 lead with 2:03 left.
Carrawell then scored seven points in Duke's 9-2 run to close the game, but it wasn't enough. Carrawell's tip-in made it 80-79 with eight seconds left. Stanford freshman Casey Jacobsen missed two free throws with 4.6 seconds left and Moseley grabbed the rebound of the second but was called for traveling.
Duke had another chance, but Nate James' 25-footer bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
Duke, which has two starters back from last season's team that reached the national championship game, has six freshmen
among its 10 scholarship players.
"There were a lot of good things like the comeback in overtime," Duke coach Mike Krzypewski said. "Our defense was better than I thought it would be and it kept us in the ballgame."
"We knew we had to make some big plays down the stretch and we did to get to overtime," Moseley said. "We showed some depth and now we'll need it."
Moseley led Stanford with 20 points, and Madsen had 15.
Carrawall, one of the two returning starters, finished with a career-high 28 points, while Battier, the other, had 19 and freshman Jason Williams added 13.
Carrawell's previous best was 19 points against North Carolina as a sophomore.
"The shots we missed were inside and almost all of the 3s we took were good shots," Krzyezwski said. "A big part of our shooting was Stanford's defense."
Cross country hoping to earn NCAA appearance
Duke shot just 28 percent (24-for-85) and was 12-for-33 from 3-point range.

Tomorrow's cross country meet could be the last meet of the season for some, and for the seniors, the last of their careers.
The Jayhawks will compete in the District V meet in Champaign, Ill. Only the top three teams and top five individuals will advance to the NCAA Championships.
Seniors Diane Heffernan and Kevin McGinn said that it was critical to have a good race in the district meet because it was one of the more important meets of the season.
Conference teams will be competing.
"Districts are the final test," McGinn said. "People have to run well or their season might be over."
"It's important to put a good race in." Heffernan said. "You have a little bit more motivation since it could be your last meet."
Kansas coach Gary Schwartz knows the competition will be tough for the Jayhawks because all of the Big 12 Conference teams, except Texas and Colorado, all of the Big Ten Conference teams and the Missouri Valley
"We have always been a strong district region," Schwartz said. "The best teams from the Big 12, Big 10 and Missouri Valley will be there. The goal for everybody is to get into the NCAA meet," Schwartz said.
Even though this meet will determine who goes to the championships, some runners said that they didn't think it necessarily was the most important meet of the season.
CROSS COUNTRY
"I think it's important because it's the last meet and you can qualify for nationals, but the conference meet and the district meet are equal to their importance," Heffernan said.
The Jayhawks have had two weeks without competition, and they are hoping that the extra practice time will help them improve from last year's finishes. The men finished 28th, and the women were ranked 20th. Schwartz said that he was confident that his team was ready for the meet.
"I think the team has prepared excellently . They have done their work in practice," Schwartz said. "We want to have that big improvement in a meet."
"The talent is there, and we have put our work in," McGinn said. "We're going to run our race and come out with the best results possible."
Even though the men's team might not change its style of running for the race, McGinn said he might change his.
"I definitely might take more risks this week since it could be my last race," McGinn said. "I might race more aggressively."
McGinn said that he was prepared mentally and was confident that he could turn in a good race.
McGinn also said that the men's team was ready for competition, and that it would not change its goals or focus on Saturday.
Senior Brian Jensen was the top finisher last year for the Jayhawks, placing second at the district meet, which made him the lone Jayhawk to participate in the 1998 NCAA championships. Because of a reoccurring injury he will not be competing in this year's meet.

Big 12 championship taking shape
Games tomorrow likely to shed light on postseason
By Michael Rigg sports@kanson.com Kansan sportwriter
For the last 12 weeks, fans of the Big 12 Conference haven't had the slightest clue what would happen this postseason.
After this weekend, they'll be one step closer to an answer.
After this weekend, they'll be one step closer to an answer.
In an attempt to solve the log-jam near the top of the North division, first-place Kansas State travels to Lincoln, Neb., tomorrow to take on the second-place Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Barring a minor miracle by thirdplace Colorado, tomorrow's game will determine the North division's champion.
Down south, Texas can win the division title outright with a victory against Texas Tech. It won't be that easy for the Longhorns, however, who were knocked out of the division race last season after losing to the Red Raiders 42-35.
"Our guys know that last year's game (against Texas Tech) knocked us out of a chance to be in the Big 12 championship game," said Longhorns coach Mack Brown. "Still, this team has been different. I don't think they'll really get into all the hype of last year and this year."
Texas A&M at Missouri
Here's a preview of some of the other action across the conference tomorrow:
Texas A&M at Missouri Missouri coach Larry Smith might have been aiming for a world record for the shortest press conference when he addressed the media for 18 seconds following his team's 37.0 loss to Oklahoma last weekend.
BIG 12 GAMES
Texas A&M at Missouri, 11:30 a.m. Ch 28
Colorado at Baylor, 1 p.m.
Oklahoma State
Kansas at Oklahoma State, 1:30 p.m.
Kansas State at Nebraska, 2:30
m. m., ARC
■ Texas Tech at Texas, 6 p.m., FOX
Sports Net
Smith refused to take questions from the media and only made a brief statement saying how pathetic and embarrassing the defeat was.
During his weekly teleconference Monday, Smith stood by his abbreviated statement.
"It was short because I was very angry and very upset," Smith said. "Often times, I'll make statements I'll regret, so I thought a general statement about the game was more appropriate."
When asked if he thought Tiger fans deserved quotations from Smith after a loss such as Saturday's, Smith said, "Well, sometimes you don't get one."
Colorado at Baylor
In order to keep their championship game dreams alive, the Buffalooes must beat Baylor tomorrow and hope that Nebraska defeats Kansas State. From there, Colorado must beat the Cornhuskers on Thanksgiving weekend and Kansas State would have to lose at home against Missouri.
Missouri, which has been shut in out two of its past three games, looks for more positive results against Texas A&M tomorrow.
Colorado will try to take another step toward reaching the championship tomorrow against Baylor, a team that lost to the Buffaloes 18-16 last season in Boulder, Colo.

Texas keeps hopes of title berth under wraps
AUSTIN, Texas — His team rarely screams or yells. In fact, before several games this season, Texas coach Mack Brown worried that his players were flat.
The Associated Press
But after an 8-2 start with a chance to clinch a berth in the Big 12 title game tomorrow, Brown doesn't worry anymore.
"They are just a matter-offact type team," Brown said. "They don't have huge highs, and they don't have awful lows."
It was supposed to be an emotional game. The Longhorns were drilled 42-16 the last time they went to Stillwater, Okla., in 1997.
A week ago, as 10th-ranked Texas calmly warmed up before playing Oklahoma State, Brown didn't know what to make of his team or the quiet.
"I was really mad," Brown said. "I didn't think they had any fire in them, but then on the first play of the game, (halfback) Hodges Mitchell takes it for an 80-yard touchdown. I guess they were ready."
More than ready. Texas rolled 34-21.
Even Texas' first interception return for a touchdown since 1995 drew only sporadic cheers from the bench. Brown said.
"I think this team is just quiet," he said. "Real quiet."
More emotion may be in store this week when Texas hosts Texas Tech (5-4, 4-2 Big 12 Conference). The Big 12 South division title is on the line.
At 5-1 in conference play, the Longhorns clinch at least a share of the title with a victory. The Red
Raiders can win the South by beating Texas and then Oklahoma next week.
A loss would leave Texas needing
Oklahoma to beat Tech so that the Longhorns still could have a chance at the title with a win against Texas A&M Thanksgiving weekend. Brown said his team couldn't think about championships yet. "This thing is far from over." he
poems yet.
"This thing is far from over," he said.
But his players know what's at stake.
"If we lost to Texas Tech, there's a whole lot of things that have to happen for us to win the Big 12 South," Mitchell said. "So we've got to win."
The South division title would be Texas' first since the league's inaugural season in 1996. It also would
be Texas Tech's first and would cap a wild season for the Red Raiders in which their longest winning streak stands at two games.
Tech players have followed Texas' quiet example this week, even though recent history lends itself to some pretty big talk.
The Red Raiders have won two straight against Texas, including a 24-10 win in Austin in 1997. Last year's victory knocked Texas out of contention for the South division title.
"We're not going to talk a lot this week, we're just going to go in there and play our hearts out," said Tech quarterback Rob Peters, who passed for 322 yards and two touchdowns against the Longhorns last year.
"We weren't supposed to win last year either, but guess what? We did it," Peters said.

The national championship trophy may be there.
That's all fans need to know about the implications of tomorrow's Kansas State-Nebraska game.
C
will represent the most important game to date in the Big 12 Conference, and it also
When the Wildcats, 9-0, travel to Lincoln, Neb., to take on the Cornhuskers, 8-1, the matchup
carries national championship implications. The game will be televised at 1:30 p.m. on ABC.
K-State is ranked No. 5 in the latest Bowl Championship Series rankings, while Nebraska is ranked No. 8. The two teams are first and second in the Big 12 North division standings.
"Certainly everyone knows this is a big game," said Cornhuskers coach Frank Solich. "There's a lot riding on this game when you look at where they're ranked and where we're ranked, and if you look at it as what team is going to have a chance to win the North division after this weekend."
Tomorrow's game also gives Nebraska defensive back Ralph Brown a chance to back up his guarantee that Nebraska will win tomorrow.
Brown originally made the guarantee following Nebraska's 40-30 loss to the Wildcats in Manhattan, Kan., last season. On Monday, Brown simply backed it up.
"Maybe I shouldn't have said it, but I'm going to stick by it," Brown said. "We're not going to lose. If we lose, you can come to me and say, 'what happened?'
Tomorrow's game wouldn't have the same importance if
both teams hadn't narrowly missed defeat against to two unranked opponents during the past few weeks. On Oct. 30, Nebraska had to come from behind on the road to defeat Kansas, while K-State held off a furious Colorado comeback last weekend, before winning 20-14.
Both teams know that if their respective levels of play are near what they've been the past two weeks, they could leave tomorrow's game losers.
"If we play like that against Nebraska, we will get beat," said Wildcats running back David Allen of K-State's performance against the Buffalooes.
The stakes were the same last season when K-State defeated Nebraska 40-30 in Manhattan. The victory catapulted the Wildcats into the Big 12 championship game for the first time, while the loss sent the Corhuskers reeling into one of
their worst seasons in the last 30 years.
N Tulkers
The two teams are different this season, however, with the Wildcats, now
relying on defense to win games and Nebraska back in the national championship hunt.
"Our team overall is much better," said Cornhuskers quarterback Eric Crouch.
And while K-State coach Bill Snyder is impressed with his team's undefeated record, he knows that his team must play more consistently to win tomorrow.
"It all comes down to inconsistency." Snyder said. "We have to be as good as we are capable of being. There has been no point in time where we have played well in all three areas of the game. I don't think anyone wants to be behind at Nebraska."

Penn State hungry to defeat Michigan after two consecutive losses
The Associated Press
and 24-10 in 1987-88.
Under Joe Paterno, Penn State is not often humiliated.
Never has a team embarrassed the Nittany Lions in consecutive seasons the way Michigan has in 34-8 and 27-0 victories during the last two years. The closest to the Wolverines' 53-point advantage: 41, by Syracuse in victories of 48-21
So revenge will play a role tomorrow for No. 6 Penn State (9-1, 5-1 Big Ten) against No. 16 Michigan (7-2, 4-2) at State College, Pa.
we're thinking about Michigan."
"IIf told you that didn't motivate me, I'd be lying," said Penn State's Brandon Short. "I try not to look at things in that perspective. It's just another team we're trying to stop. But when we're running in the spring and summer and things like that,
The annual meeting against Michigan became one of Penn State's biggest games when the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten in 1993.
During the first four years, the games measured up. Penn State won three, but each game was close.
Then in 1997, the game promised to be the best yet. The Lions were No.2, the Wolverines were No.4 and both teams were chasing the
Commentary
national title. Michigan would go on to win the title, and it showed why.
Michigan's defense held Penn State to 169 yards — its lowest total in 10 years — and beat the Lions 34-8, Paterno's worst loss at home.
A year later, another historic worst for the Lions. This time, Penn State was No. 9 but still in
contention, while Michigan was No. 22. The Wolverines again dominated defensively, holding Penn State to 200 yards and no points in a 27-0 victory. The Nittany Lions hadn't been shut out in 11 years.
Penn State's offensive — truly offensive — numbers: A total of eight points and 369 yards in two games.
"It's not hard to understand what happened the last two years."
Kevin Thompson said. "Michigan is a great team. They have a lot of tradition. They won the national championships two years ago, so it's no mystery."
LaVar Arrington has a different take on the losses.
"They come with a certain attitude when they play us, and it seems like they actually it overwhelms us during the game," he said.

KU Mountain men bike Mt. Oread
Cyclists will race at national finals this weekend
By Jim O'Malley Special to the Kansan
Mountain biking? In Kansas?
"Yeah, I get a lot of that," said Jed Schneider, Sandia Park, N.M., graduate student and professional mountain bike racer.
He said, however, that the lack of mountains doesn't hurt his ability to train. Schneider said he actually preferred to train at low altitude, because at high altitude he can't push his leg muscles to exhaustion.
Schneider said he did most of his training on the road and relied on racing to keep up his mountain bike handling skills.
He said in September that he had ridden a mountain bike only 20 times in 1999, and that 15 of those rides were races. But he trains up to 20 hours a week on the road. He said he puts in 6,000 to 7,000 miles on the road in the first five months of the year to prepare for the racing season.
"You can't train effectively on a mountain bike," he said. "It beats you up. You can go for the six to eight
hour rides you need."
But riders who want to train on mountain bikes can find places to ride around Lawrence. Bryce Lawrence. Lenexa senior, races regularly on weekends. He said there were trails by the river, and at Clinton and Perry lakes, and endless gravel roads to train on.
There are risks to both training and racing. Schneider's racing career was almost ended after he was hit by a car on a road training ride in 1995. He shattered his kneccap, underwent two surgeries and lost five months of training.
He gave up racing and moved to Montana to attend school and pursue a snow-boarding career but started racing again at Montana State University.
This fall, Schneider hit a tree at 25 mph while at a race in Missouri and had to withdraw, although he wasn't hurt.
"I was being impatient and passing people in the trees and miscalculated the grade." he said.
Schneider learned his mountain-biking skills as a kid growing up in New Mexico. He was raised in the Albuquerque area where there were more than 100 miles of single track and Jeep trails within a 20 minute ride.
"It was a great place to ride a mountain bike," he said. "The first ride I ever did on a mountain bike was a race."
Schneider was 13 years old when he started racing. He said that as a junior
racer (ages 15 to 18), he regularly placed in the top five in races on the national circuit.
He turned pro in 1997. Schneider races for BCD, a small manufacturer of carbon fiber bike frames, and is on their cross-country team. The company also sponsors three downhill racers.
Schneider made the U.S. National Mountain Bike under 23 team and raced in the 1998 World Championships in Quebec, where he finished 64th out of 210 starters. He was 15th in the 1998 National Collegiate Cycling Association road cycling championship, and 11th out of 180 riders at the 1997 collegiate mountain bike championship.
This year's national collegiate championship is scheduled for this weekend in Helen, Ga., on the 1996 Olympic mountain-bike course.
Schneider, Lawrence and six other Kansas cyclists are entered in the championship races in Georgia. Schneider said he gave himself a 50 percent chance of winning this year.
The riders also are members of the University of Kansas cycling club, which supports both recreational cycling and racing, and has regular road and mountain-bike training rides
Leonard Kristishalka, director of the Natural History Museum, is the club's faculty advisor. He said that with a little more support from the University,
Sunflower Outdoor Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., and Cycle Works, Inc., 1601 W. 23rd St., provide some financial support.
Schneider, a graduate student and teaching assistant in the geography department, said that it was difficult juggling training and school, but that the department was supportive.
Kansas could have a top-level intercollegiate cycling program.
"I told the geography department mountain biking was a major part of my life," he said. "They liket it that I was a professional athlete and a good student."
The geography department seems to attract strong racers. Bryce Lawrence is a geography major. He won the 1998 NCCA North Central regional championship.
Another geography major who races is Justin Hawkins, Springfield, Mo. senior. He won the state category four road racing championship this summer. Hawkins said that the geography department
Hawkins said that the geography department had a pretty laid back program.
Robert McColl, professor of geography, had a different explanation. He said the department didn't recruit cyclists, but thought the number of strong racers might be explained by the outdoors nature of geography.
But Lawrence joked that he learned his bike handling skills indoors, playing the Gran Turismo video game.

Soccer midfielder returns to top form after ankle sprains

What a ride it's been for Colleen Colvin.
After a stellar high school career, in which she was one of Minnesota's top goal scorers and
Colvin, a junior midfielder for the Kansas soccer team, has experienced a roller-coaster career that brought her to Kansas and then dragged her down. But she reached the top of the hill again this season.
named an All-American, the phones weren't ringing. Few colleges showed interest in her because she didn't play in the Olympic Development Program. Colvin wanted to play in college, though, so she did her own recruiting.

"I really wasn't into the whole recruiting thing," Colvin said. "It came down to literally the last minute, and I thought maybe I wanted to go somewhere and play."
Colvin: ranked fourth on team in scoring this year
So Colvin recruited Kansas. Many of her friends,were
Many of the friends were coming to Kansas so it seemed like the logical choice. She called Kansas, but the Jayhawks were in the middle of a coaching change and took a month to get back to her. Once they did, a quick campus visit made it official.
"I didn't expect to start coming in freshman year," Colvin said. "It was a lot of fun and totally unexpected. I didn't expect to do that well."
When her sophomore year began, Colvin's career headed downhill. Kansas struggled and injuries wiped out Colvin's season. Multiple ankle sprains slowed her and kept her off the field. She didn't talk a single goal or assist. In addition, a case of dehydration sent her to the hospital.
"It was very frustrating." Colvin said. "I sprained my ankle in the preseason, and when I returned, I resprained it five minutes into the game."
When the spring season arrived, Colvin made her return. Colvin had a solid spring under new coach Mark Francis and punctuated her reemergence when she blasted home six goals in the final two games.
"I was really excited." Colvin said. "Our team was playing really well. We were playing together as a team for the first time since I've been here. It was a good feeling."
She remained in top form this season, scoring two goals and four assists while moving to outside-midfielder. These marks ranked her fourth on the team in scoring this season and she also climbed to No. 3 all-time at Kansas in total points.
"Colleen is doing very well." Francis said. "She had to learn a new position, but once she got the hang of it she done real well. Her confidence definitely improved over the course of the season."
With improved confidence and an improved team, Colvin is having fun playing soccer again and she said she thinks her team is on the move.
"Things can only go up from here." Colvin said. "I can't wait to see what's going to happen in the next years — we may be beating Nebraska."

Nation/World
Clinton honors U.S. veterans for their service
The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Va.— Under gray skies at Arlington National Cemetery, President Clinton paid tribute yesterday to the nation's war dead.
"We owe them a debt we can never repay," he said.
A chilly wind kept the American flags waving in the porticoes of the amphitheater where Clinton spoke to about 800 veterans and their families after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
Clinton highlighted a new military spending bill as proof of his commitment to military in the world.
"When the 20th century began, the headstones that stand in silent formation on these beautiful hills covered fewer than 200 acres," Clinton said. "Today, at century's end, they cover more than 600 acres."
"Hundreds of millions of people in the United States and around the world sleep in peace because more than a million Americans rest in peace," he said. "Here, and in graves, marked and unmarked, all across the world."
The Veterans of Foreign Wars honor guard, dressed in white, marched to the front of the audience as the U.S. Army Band played a martial tune. The tuba players' sheet music blew away when they struck up *Battle Hymn*
of the Republic, but the rain that threatened to mar the ceremony never fell.
Clinton singled out for recognition Capt. Earl Fox, a retiring Coast Guard medical officer who is the last World War II veteran on active duty, and Heather Renee French, the reigning Miss America and daughter of a disabled Vietnam veteran, who has championed the cause of homeless veterans.
Clinton stressed the importance of recovering those soldiers left behind or still listed as missing after U.S. campaigns abroad.
"I am very proud to announce today that we have successfully recovered the remains of three
more United States servicemen lost during the Korean War. They're coming home tonight," the president said to a burst of applause. "But we must not waver in our common efforts to make the fullest possible accounting for all our MIAs, for all their families to have their questions answered."
Separately, Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater posthumously awarded the Purple Heart to 111 Coast Guardmen who died aboard the cutter Tampa in 1918. The Tampa was sunk by a German U-boat off the British coast after escorting a supply convoy.
"We not only honor the brave crew members of the Tampa, but
also recognize the courage of the women and men of the coast Guard who over the past two centuries have put themselves at risk in the service of their country," Slater said.
Most of the NATO sorties flown over Kosovo were flown by U.S. pilots, who at times faced heavy enemy fire. However, U.S. forces did not suffer a single combat fatality during the campaign.
The president said the military spending bill he signed last month would "keep us moving in that direction, with the start of the first sustained increase in military spending in a decade and the biggest pay increase for our troops in a generation."
Italian apartment building collapses
50 believed dead; authorities suspect structural failure
The Associated Press
FOGGIA, Italy—A six-story apart ment building came crashing down upon 24 sleeping households in southern italy yesterday, trapping them in a 15-foot-high heap of concrete and dust. Only one family escaped intact, fleeing with seconds to spare after a frantic attempt to save their neighbors.
Waked by the sound of the building shaking itself to pieces, the family of five ran apartment to apartment, ringing doorbells and pounding on doors. The effort nearly cost their lives, said building superintendent Luigi Lacanta, who ran from the building with the family at the last minute.
"I took a step back, thinking I could see someone stick their head out the window," Lacanta said. "Instead, I saw the entire building crumple."
By nightfall, authorities had accounted for only 17 survivors out of the 70 to 75 people believed to be inside. The latest, a young man, was pulled out more than nine hours
after the last survivor had been found. After a day of seeing only covered bodies on gurneys go by, the dusty search crews stopped digging to applaud the rescue, shouting. "He's alive!"
Searchers recovered 13 corpses, wheeling them out under green sheets with broken limbs dangling.
Paramilitary police Capt. Antonio Di Spazio said he feared about 50 people had been killed.
Many may have died on the stairs, trying to escape.
Authorities suspect a structural failure brought down the 36-year-old building. Some residents said workers had been renovating a garage underneath; Di Spazio said that would be investigated.
In Rome, politicians urged Parliament to push through a proposed law that would make buildings subject to periodic inspections.
Emergency crews evacuated an adjoining building in the neighborhood, a cluster of tidy, well-kept apartment blocs in the city of 150,000. Awakened in the night by the crash and then by screams, neighbors packed balconies to watch the daylong rescue effort.

State agencies Y2K ready says technology officer
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Virtually all computer programs and equipment at state government agencies are ready for Year 2000, the state's expert about the topic said yesterday.
Don Heiman, the state's chief information technology officer for the executive branch, said 99.8 percent of all hardware and software was Year 2000 compliant.
"I'm always apprehensive about crossing the millennium, but the agency reports have been strong." Heiman said after a meeting of the Legislature's Joint Committee on Information Technology.
He plans to update the committee next month on any work that still needs to be done.
"I don't see any real showstoppers on the list," he said.
Of the state's 100,000 computer-related items, only 50 to 60 still are not Year 2000 compliant. Heiman said.

The state began working on Y2K in 1997 and has spent more than $20 million since then. More than 180,000 hours have been devoted to the plans, changes, improvements and tests to make sure everything works.
Some people fear that when the new century begins, computer programs that designate years with two digits will read 2000 as
Meredith Williams, executive secretary of Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, told the committee his agency was a year behind in its efforts to convert documents into computer files.
In other matters, the committee discussed delays with a computer project at the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, which pays benefits to about 50,000 former state workers.
The delays were caused by the agency's move to new offices last year, KPERS' preparations for Year 2000 and two vacant computer programmer positions, he said.
KPERS expects the $2.9 million project to be completed in 2001.
Clark, R-Oakley, said he had been frustrated by how little information KPERS previously had given to the committee.
New poll shows McCain, Bush tied for first time
The Associated Press
MANCHESTER, N.H.—A new poll of New Hampshire voters shows John McCain for the first time tied with George W. Bush in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
Bush had 38 percent, compared to 35 percent for McCain,a difference within the poll's 4 percent.
age people margin of error.
"I think Bush has quite a challenge," said pollster Dick Bennett.
"There's something there that some Republican voters, especially men, aren't buying about the guy."
McCain: Even statistically in poll of New Hampshire voters
The New Hampshire Poll showed men were more likely to favor McCain, while women favored Bush.
The poll also showed McCain with the highest favorability rating — 67 percent — among Republicans. Bush's favorability rating dropped to 56 percent from 71 percent in October.
Speaking Wednesday after filing for the New Hampshire primary, Bush said that different polls were showing different results but that McCain was a strong candidate.
"This is a competitive race," Bush said. "I understand it's competitive, and I look forward to working hard. If I had to guess why Sen. McCain is doing well, it's people respect him and so do I. He's a good man."
Among Democrats, Vice President Al Gore held a slight lead ahead of former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley, with 46 percent to Bradley's 40 percent.
The telephone poll of 600 likely Republican primary voters and 600 likely Democratic voters was conducted Nov.4 through Nov.9 by the American Research Group Inc.of Manchester.

Kansas vs. Oklahoma State
Cowboys coach relies on God for strength
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Oklahoma State coach Bob Simmons is hoping for a higher authority to help his team.
Earlier this season, Simmons said that his belief in God was all he had to fall back on because the people who supported him during his first four years have abandoned him.
"Obviously, if there's any doubt in me, that's who I turn to for my strength," said Simmons, who was an assistant under Christian Bill McCartney at Colorado.
As for the criticism and lack of support, that will continue, Simmons said.
"Obviously, there is going to be criticism, and that's something
that will be there as long as you remain a head coach of a program," Simmons said.
Especially a program that had the highest expectations of any Cowboys team in the 1990s. Oklahoma State was picked to go to a bowl game by many preseason publications and to finish in the top half of the Big 12 Conference this season. But the Cowboys were decimated by injuries early on — such as a devastating knee injury to quarterback Tony Lindsay — and are only 3-5.
Admittedly, this season has been tough the Cowboys.
Simmons said that Oklahoma State had fallen victim to high preseason expectations.
"Losing is not a great thing,
believe me," said safety Chris Massey. "We just have to keep our heads up."
PETER R. BOWEN
Simmons: Says his team's game against Kansas is winable
"Our expectations as long as I'm the head coach will always be high," he said. "I know that there are going to be bumps in the road. I know that when you play in this conference, you have to play at that level every week. I can't control the conditions sometimes. All I can try to
control is what I have in front of me."
And what's in front of the beleaguered Cowbys this week is a game Simmons calls winnable. The Cowbys play Kansas at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at home.
For the final home game at Lewis Field for 28 Cowboys seniors, Simmons would love nothing more than to send them away victorious.
"Obviously, these seniors have some sentimental times here and want to go out on a winning note," he said. "At this point in time, that is still very possible. Is it sentimental? Yes. Can we use that as an emotional part of the ballgame? Yes. It would be good, but we have to go out and execute, and that's the bottom line."
To do that, the Cowboys will have to do something they have failed to do so often this season — execute on offense. Oklahoma State ranks 91st nationally in total offense, and Lindsay is just now growing comfortable in the offense after missing four games because of his knee injury. Also, running back Nathan Simmons
— who rushed for 937 yards last season — has failed to get started in 1999, as he as only accumulated 255 yards on the ground.
On the flip side, the Cowboys feature one of the nation's most terrorizing defenses, the vaunted "46" defense, which smothers an opponent's offense. The NFL's Chicago Bears used in their 1985 championship season.
Although the Cowboys won't climb to the football pinnacle in 1999 the way the Bears did in 1985, they can agree on one thing
the season isn't finished yet. "I know our season is not going the way we wanted it to," Massey said. "The season is far from more. We still have three games, and we're going to come out and try to finish up strong."

Fraternity ID-making operation discovered
(USPS 650-640)

Firefighters sounded the alarm on a fake ID operation last weekend at a University of Kansas fraternity.

The firefighters looked through the house but found no fire. They did, however, find traces of a fake ID operation in a furnace room on the second floor. The firefighters then notified the Lawrence police department.

Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler said no arrests had been made and the investigation still was in its early stages. Police do have some suspects, he said.
Preston Jones, Wichita junior and vice president of the fraternity, said the chapter immediately notified its alumni and international fraternity about the investigation. Jones said Phi Delta Theta intended to cooperate with the police, the University and its international organization to rectify the situation.
Phi Delta Theta plans to go dry in 2000. Jones said the fake ID manufacturing was totally unrelated.
"I don't think alcohol has anything to do with the situation at all," he said.
Phi Delta Theta is the third University fraternity to be caught with a fake ID operation in 1999. On Jan. 15, police investigating a possible burglary found four false driver's licenses at Alpha Tau Omega, 1537 Tennessee St. On April 18, an investigation of fake IDs led police to Phi Kappa Tau, 1100 Indiana St., where they seized a laminating machine, laminating paper, photo paper and at least a dozen fake IDs.

Another Turkish earthquake levels town
News of the tragedy leaves some faculty, students concerned
By Amanda Kaschube
writer@kansan.com
Kansan stuff writer
The earthquake, which registered 7.2 on the Richter scale, hit 90 miles outside of the capital city Istanbul and has left 374 dead and more than 3,000 injured.
An earthquake that hit Duzce, Turkey, on Friday has left many University of Kansas faculty and students worried about their family members living there and the safety of the buildings in Turkey.
Riza Demirer, Lawrence graduate student, has several family members who felt the earthquake even though they live an hour and a half away from the epicenter.
"My mom said she felt the house shaking but she stayed inside the house because she didn't want her cooking to burn," she said. "But there was no real damage to the town."
The multitude of earthquakes in Turkey during the past three months also worries Ahmet Oziyigit, Lawrence sophomore, who is originally from Cyprus.
"I have a sister in Ankara, Turkey, and she said she felt some shakes, but it wasn't as bad as the one in August," he said. "But I'm worried it could happen again."
Two faculty members, JoAnn Browning, assistant professor of civil engineering, and Steven McCabe, chairman of the civil engineering department, traveled to Turkey late
last month to survey the damage to northwest Turkey from the Aug. 17 earthquake that killed more than 17,000 people.
"There was still a lot of damage two months after the earthquake," Browning said. "Blocks of buildings were torn down, buildings were titled on their foundations. People were still afraid to live in their buildings, so they lived in tents."
Browning said the recent outbreak of earthquake was caused by the fault lines under Turkish towns.
"It's like the San Andreas fault in California — similar length, frequency and movement," she said.
Demirer said she was unaware of the fault lines until recently.
"There were never any quakes when I was a child," she said. "When I called home on Friday, I was really worried. You always think the worst."
One problem facing Turkey is a lack of enforcement when it comes to building codes, Browning said. She said the codes stacked up to the United States', but they were not followed as well.
"Their inspections are sub-par, and builders can get away with lower standards," she said. "Even so, it's hard to survive earthquake greater than seven on the Richter scale in less than two months."
McCabe said he saw examples of the building codes not being enforced. He said many of the buildings' first stories were not built well, and it brought down the stability of the entire building.

wnat happens is the first story gets soft," he said. "It makes the whole building lose their connection and integrity. It only takes a little thing to go wrong to bring down the whole building."
Rescue workers look for survivors
The Associated Press
DUZCE, Turkey — Rescue workers from 23 different countries poured into Turkey and joined thousands of soldiers yesterday in a massive effort to save people believed to be buried beneath the rubble of Friday's earthquake. The earthquake killed at least 374 people and injured 3,000 others.
Emergency crews and volunteer organizations say the organization of the relief efforts stands in contrast to the aftermath of the devastating Aug. 17 templor, when relief teams wandered through the quake zone with little idea where their help was needed.
But they add that many basics, including food, tools and maps, still are in short sunny.
She said a crisis center was established within hours of the quake to help coordinate efforts, but her team had to wait a day until they received maps of the city.
"Some things are better," said German rescuer Britta Edinger, returning to camp after a day of guiding her black German shepherd sniffer, Arisha, through collapsed buildings.
Delays in identifying crisis areas left some rescue teams pacing the crisis center.
The efforts came as President Clinton left Washington yesterday for a state visit to Turkey. He also will participate in a European summit in Istanbul, Turkey's biggest city, then visit Greece, Italy, Bulgaria and Kosovo before returning home Nov. 23.
Turkish volunteers attributed what improvement there was to a change in attitude by a government that was sharply criticized in the press and on the streets for its slow response to the August quake, which left more than 17.000 people dead.
"At the first earthquake, the attitude was, we are the government, we do the work," said Zarif Karac, coordinator of a civil crisis center that had just deployed 500 university students to the quake area.
This time, he said, the conservative establishment swallowed hard and took advice from the largely youthful Turkish volunteers who won praise for their efforts during the first quake.
"It was hard for them to accept our long hair and earrings, but we got the job done," Karac said.
Last time, relief workers came days after the disaster when it became clear that the situation was out of the Turkish government's control.
The 12-magnitude quake struck Bolu province, an area just 45 miles east of the region worst hit by the Aug. 17 quake. That quake, which had a magnitude of 7.4, was centered on the more populated coastal areas of western Turkey.
Children's advocate stresses desegregation, political action
Bv Erinn R. Barcomb
By Erinn K. Barcomi
writer@kansan.com
Jonathan Kozol, writer, teacher and children's advocate, spoke to an audience of about 500 about the inequalities faced by children in inner-city public schools Saturday night at the Lied Center.
Kansan staff writer
A Harvard graduate and Rhodes Scholar, Kozol began his career by substitute teaching at a school in a poor. African-American neighborhood in Boston.
"I don't want to teach in any voucher school, any charter school or any private school that educates the elite or the relative elite," he said.
His latest book, Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation, is about children in a neighborhood in the South Bronx in New York.
from the South Bronx, but you can see Riker's Island," Kozol said, referring to the city's prison.
"You can't see the Statue of Liberty
You can't see the from the South Bronx.
Kozol also discussed the segregation of inner-city schools.
P. S. Ramanujam
Kozol: Spoke about his experiences with inner-city youth
He said there was one white student among 800 at a South Bronx school. Kozol said it was the first white student the teacher had there in 18 years.
Kozol said he was involved in the civil rights movement of the 1980s and had
friends who said they had marched across the bridge in Selma, Ala.
"The teacher said, 'It doesn't matter what bridge you were on 30 years ago,'" Kozol said. "They want to know what bridge you stand on now.' That's the question America doesn't want to answer."
Kozol said his book inspired the Rev. Jesse Jackson, political activist, and Mister (Fred) Rogers, children's television personality, to meet the children in the book. The children defied the inner-city stereotypes, he said.
"They have a right to be selfish, but they are unselfish," he said. "They worry about older people of any race."
Kozol also made the point that college students were not as selfish as the media often portrayed. He used students from
Kozel met for about two hours at his hotel room Friday night with students involved with poverty issues at the University of Kansas.
Johnson County as an example, saying some students who grew up in such communities experienced guilt about the advantages they had.
"I get that there is a push for goodness in the country and a longing for unselfishness," Kozol said.
"Unfortunately that doesn't transform itself into political action."
Jenny McAdam, Lawrence senior, said Kozol wanted to find out what KU students were doing. She said he had heard about the extent of their involvement in poverty issues from a Washington advocate who was a friend of Chris Hess, Wichita senior.
"He never asked us if we'd read his books," Hess said. "He's one of the nicest, kindest men I've ever met."
Kozol said Lawrence was a utopia compared to the places he was used to writing about, but the town faced problems such as the socioeconomic inequality resulting from the drawing of school district lines.
Hess said he asked about programs such as the Jubilee Cafe and intergenerational programs.
Janet Crow, executive director of the Hall Center for the Humanities, which sponsored the event, said Kozol's speech was funded by private money from the Kansas University Endowment Association.

Aluminum can recycling drive to boost student involvement
Living organizations at the University of Kansas are sponsoring an aluminum can recycling drive today through Friday.
Greek organizations, residence halls and scholarship halls will be contributing cans. The University Office of Recycling and Resource Conservation and the Student Environmental Advisory Board of Student Senate are coordinating the drive.
Sarah Schreck, SEAB member, said Kansas State University challenged the University to a recycling competition each year. However, because K-State doesn't have as expansive a program as the University, she said, coordinators would focus on collecting cans and not on competing.
Schreck said the drive will aim to increase an already steady level of student involvement in recycling.
"It's a program people are used to, and people are becoming more accustomed to using recycling centers on campus," she said. "Now, we're trying to boost knowledge about the program. We hope to see a lot more participation."
The groups will ship the cans Friday afternoon from West Campus near the Kansas University Endowment Association. Students living off-campus can contribute their cans at that time.
For more information, call 864-4089.

Minnesota sheriff denies he gave special treatment to senator's son
MINNEAPOLIS—A sheriff's deputy denied he gave preferential treatment to a U.S. senator's son who allegedly was driving with 10 bags of marijuana in his car but was not charged with any crime, The Star Tribune reported Sunday.
Morgan Grams, the 21-yearold son of Sen. Rod Grams, R-Minn., was stopped in July by Anoka County sheriff's deputies, the paper said, citing reports on file
He was driving without a license and on probation, but he was driven home in the front seat of Chief Denyton Peter Behber's car, the newspaper reported.
Deputies had been searching for Grams at the personal request of the senator, who was worried after his son borrowed a rental car but failed to return it.
Beberg found Grams driving a sport utility truck with 10 bags of marijuana inside — an unspecified amount. A 17-year-old passenger was charged with possession of nine of the bags and later spent time at a juvenile detention center.
The 10th bag was found under Grams' seat, according to a report by deputy Todd Diegnau, who declined to be interviewed.
"If there would have been a charge I could have made at that time, I don't care if it was Morgan or Rod Grams himself, I would have made that arrest," Beberg told the newspaper.
The senator's Minnesota office is in Anoka. Beberg, who also is Anoka's mayor, defended his actions.

Kansas staff writer
Before stocking up survival gear and heading for the hills, Y2K alarmists should tune in to Sunflower Cablevision tonight for the real story on the Year 2000 transition.
A one-hour live community forum will be aired beginning at 7 tonight on channels 6 and 48, and viewers will be able to call in with questions.
Gayle Martin, communications coordinator for the City of Lawrence, said panelists would. be
would be available to answer questions ranging from concerts about utilitie

ties to personal preparedness.
Panelists will include technology experts, utility representatives, financial experts and public safety officials.
The show is sponsored by the Lawrence Y2K Compliant Community Information Task Force, the Lawrence Journal-World and Sunflower Cablevision.
Jerry Manweiler, task force chairman, said the task force was formed to educate the public about Y2K.
"This live forum is another way to get the word out about the community preparedness," he said. "The task force has been proactive in providing educational activities for citizens for more than a year."
Y2K CALL-IN FORUM
What: A live, call-in public forum for Y2K-related questions
When: From 7 to 8 tonight
Where: Sunflower Cablevision channels 6 and 48
How: Fax questions to 832-3405 in advance or e-mail to y2k@unfluer.com
University of Kansas students need to prepare for the new millennium because many of them have computer equipment and software that may be affected by the transition. Manweller said.
People may submit questions for the show in advance by faxing them to 832-3405 or by e-mail at y2k@sunflower.com.
Martin said she wasn't sure how busy the call-in show would be, but everyone's concerns would be addressed.
"If we happen to not get every question answered within the hour, we'll be happy to get back to you," she said.
Martin said many questions could be answered by visiting the task force's Web site at www.ci.lawrence.ks.us/v2k/
Videotapes of the call-in show will be available for checkout at the Lawrence Public Library in late November, and Sunflower Cablevision will rebroadcast the program at 7 p.m. Nov. 22 and at 9 p.m. Nov. 29 on channel 6.

Several student organizations want University of Kansas students to know what it's like to live without a home.
The Center for Community Outreach; Concerned, Active and Aware Students; and six other student organizations are sponsoring several events this week for Hunger and Homelessness Month.
Today through Wednesday, students can view the photo exhibit, "Faces of Homelessness," from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Student Union Activities gallery on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. A documentary about homelessness in Lawrence, Where Do You Hang Your Hat? will be shown in the gallery during the exhibit.
At 7 p.m. tomorrow, a community banquet will be held for both students and homeless Lawrence residents at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Food was donated by Food Not Bombs. The dinner is free, but the groups will accept donations.
This week, students also can sign national petitions requesting the U.S. Congress to pay more attention to poverty issues from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
Jenny McAdam, Lawrence senior and CAAS co-coordinator, said the groups wanted to make students aware of the homelessness problem both in Lawrence and across the nation.
"We feel like students are sometimes isolated on the Hill, and maybe they don't know what's going on in the community," she said. "If more people
HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS MONTH

■ Concerned, Active and Aware Students
■ Food Not Bombs
■ Campus Connection
■ Asian American Student Union
■ Jubilee Cafe
■ KU Baha'i Club
■ Campus Christians
knew what was going on locally, we're hoping they'll want to do things to improve that."
This is the third year the groups have sponsored events for Hunger and Homelessness Month.
In the past, instead of a community banquet, the groups have organized a hunger banquet highlighting disparities between first-world and third-world nations. This year, the groups decided to modify the format to stress a dialogue between students and homeless people. McAdam said.
Lt. Kirk Schuetz of the Lawrence Salvation Army said homeless people usually were receptive to the help they were offered.
"Some want privacy, and some want to tell their stories," he said. "A lot of them want help getting back on their feet, and we're glad to help."
McAdam said she hoped students would change their attitudes toward homelessness.
"We want to inspire people," she said.
New health facility to meet community needs

Cooperation and caring were the themes when the Lawrence and Douglas County Community Health Facility was introduced to the public at an open house and dedication ceremony Saturday morning.
"As we look at these public improvements, let's label them great examples of intergovernmental and agency cooperation," Mayor Erv Hodges said. "We can't forget all the work that went behind these major ventures — all the give and take, the sharing and now the most important thing, the future cooperation."
The $11.8 million project was one of several funded by a 1994 voter-approved county-wide sales tax. City and county officials as well as representatives from various health agencies were involved in the project.
ing, located at 200 Maine St., is the new home of four health agencies — the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, the Douglas County Visiting Nurses Association and
Hospice Care in Douglas County.
Craig Weinaug, Douglas County administrator, said the agencies worked together to make sure the building met everyone's needs.

"The primary interest of the agency directors was how we can best serve the needs of the citizens of Lawrence and Douglas County." he said.
"We succeeded because we
Combining the agencies in the same building at a location close to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St., was the best way to serve the community, Sarna said.
City and county officials hailed the distinctive design of the three-story building, which combines open and private spaces. Space is provided for counseling, exams, education, administration, record keeping, waiting rooms and meetings.
In addition to tours and the open house, two art works
were dedicated at the ceremony. A ceramic wall piece and a sculpture/fountain accompanied the project, a result of the Percent for Art program, which sets aside a percentage of public project funds for art.
"Hands for Healing," a ceramic mosaic that represents the four agencies with healing hands, was designed and executed by local artists Jan Gaumnitz and Cathy Tisdale.
"Tres Manos," a metal sculpture/fountain inspired by the tranquility of a tree, was made by local artist Steve Richardson.
Ellen Williams, Lawrence Arts Commission chair, said designs were submitted from across the country, but the local artists stood out.
The art and the design of the building make for a facility that health workers are proud of, said Kay Kent, director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.
"It's really very exciting for all of us to be here," she said.

Students should be responsible for weekend cleanup in halls
The Kansan recently ran a story about the general disdain of student housing residents who complain about excessive messes accumulated on weekends. These residents should turn their disdain on themselves.
Custodians are assigned to work half days on Saturdays and have Sundays off, a perfectly reasonable policy. Instead of complaining, every student should take some initiative to make his or her living environment as tolerable as possible — which, folks, isn't that hard with a little good old-fashioned responsibility.
By the time you are a senior in high school, you are more than ready to be treated as an adult. And for most students, college represents life on your own, life outside of constant parental
Common sense and personal responsibility should replace disrespect for fellow residents
supervision for the first time.
The relationship between custodial employee and resident shouldn't be the same as that of parent and child. And residence assistants and desk attendants are not hired as members of the custodial staff, although they often are called upon to clean up after others.
Understandably, there always will be mistakes and accidents not committed maliciously and not the direct result of irresponsibility. And these problems do exist outside of the residence halls but simply are more prevalent in living envi-
ornments in which facilities are shared by a greater number of individuals.
Anyone who has lived in the residence halls, however, cannot forget the times when childish behavior and a general lack of regard for fellow residents resulted in a disgusting mess. It's almost as if irresponsibility in the residence halls is, to an extent, a rite of passage. But as saying goes, you cannot have your cake and eat it too.
The next time you hover above the water fountain with an upset stomach or stand in the sixth floor stairway holding a helpless pumpkin in your hands, think of how your actions will affect others.
If you screw up, try cleaning up after yourself. It will save everyone that much more grief.
Matthew Dunehoo for the editorial board
Running from cops not cause for stop
The Supreme Court is considering a decision that will effect the status of our rights in regard to the police. Currently if someone flees after seeing a police officer, he or she can be stopped and searched — even when not observed committing a crime. This is an unfair practice in law enforcement, since running from the police does not constitute de facto guilt.
Evading the police may look suspicious, but it is not enough to justify a search
Without this authority, the police would retain the ability to catch criminals. The criminal justice system is unbalanced in the latitude it offers the police in apprehending suspects. If someone is seen committing a crime or leaving the scene of a crime, he or she can be held in police custody. The rights of society
in regard to law enforcement are adequately protected; however, when police officers can search people simply because they run, then the rights of individuals are infringed. If you've done nothing wrong, the police should have no right to detain you.
Why would anyone run from the police unless he or she were guilty? In a tense environment focused on police brutality, people's paranoia about harassment is justified. There is a growing culture in the United
States that is raised with the image of the police as a threat as much as a security.
Most importantly, the "if you run, you are guilty" mindset is bad for the police in the long run. It creates a negative image of the law officer as militantly on guard. The adversarial relationship police sometimes have with their communities is the worst obstacle to adequate law enforcement because it erodes cooperation. A mutual relationship of trust must be constructed, which means protecting the ability for police officers to enforce the law and freedom from police harassment.

Perspective
My dad is no Galileo but just as important
There's nothing like reading about the life of a genius to make you feel like an idiot. And there's nothing like reading about a father's love to make some of us realize how lucky we are.
Galileo's Daughter, a new Galileo Galilei biography, does both. Galileo was the first to use a telescope to study the skies. He anticipated Isaac Newton's theorizing about gravity. He derived many of the equations still used in physics today. When comparing yourself to such a mental giant, it's hard not to feel intellectually inadequate.
PETER EASTON
Rachel Robson guest columnist opinion at kansan.com
Gallioe is called the father of modern science. Or at least that's what we call him now. In his own lifetime, he simply was called father.
To his friends, Galileo wrote that his daughter was "a woman of exquisite mind, singular goodness, and most tenderly attached to me." Virginia wrote her dad that he surpassed "the majority of fathers in loving me as his daughter." Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter in 1610. Six years later, when Virginia took vows as a nun, she rechristened herself Maria Celeste, which means Mary of the Moon. She was always daddy's little girl.
Galileo had three children. The oldest, a daughter he named Virginia, wrote him hundreds of letters throughout his lifetime. We know this, because Galileo, a proudapa, kept every one. Virginia kept every letter her dad sent her, too, but they were all destroyed after her death.
My own father didn't discover any laws of physics or new planets. My father is a printer and has been his whole adult life. Four hundred years from now, history won't remember my
dad as influential or important, because history won't likely remember my dad at all. But I too could say that he surpassed the majority of fathers in his love for me. A historian still could find my eight-year-old handwriting on my father's printing equipment: "I love you Daddy." The historian wouldn't care about the notes written to an unknown man by his daughter. But my Dad never has cleaned these notes off the obsolete platemaker he still owns.
When Galileo was tried for heresy by the Roman Catholic Church, his daughter, then a nun, stood by him. The first letter she wrote him after he was accused was the only one she signed with her last name — making the point that she was as much the child of Galileo as she was the bride of Christ. When he was convicted and his writings banned from all Catholics, Maria Celeste wrote him, lamenting that others had so misunderstood his work.
Recently, the cable network A&E compiled a list of the 100 most influential people of the last millennium, chosen by a panel of experts. I was on the phone with my Dad as the top few names were explained by the A&E commentators. Galileo, predictably, made the top ten. But he wasn't No. 1.
Under house arrest for the rest of his life, Galileo was allowed by the church to visit one other location: the convent where his daughter lived. That, he wrote to his friends, brought him much joy. My father and I didn't have an inquisition to overcome, and though we fight like all children and parents fight, I know he will support me through whatever struggles I have.
My Dad and I cheered the narrator read the last name: Johannes Gutenberg. The most influential person of the last 1,000 years wasn't a great scientist. He was a printer.
Robson hosts Real Alternative Radio, which airs Mondays from 4 to 5 p.m. on 90.7 KJH. Dava Sobel, the author of Galileo's Daughter, will be interviewed on tonight's program.
Kansan writers cover sex; how about something else
The ads followed the same general format. An ad for Game Guy, 7 E. Seventh St., suggested "Play with me one more time." Another ad was for "Sex after Java Break." Scales and Tales Exotic Pets, 221 W. 25th St., asked "Can your
On November 10, section B of The University Daily Kansan was titled Sex on the Hill. There were headlines covering sexual privacy in the residence halls, sex in movies, masturbation myths, places to buy sex toys, safe sex and abstinence, date rape, cyber sex and sexual enhancement.
man coil himself up like this?" Tobacco Express's three Lawrence stores advertised a "Nice, Long, Firm" (and in smaller print) Cigar. One ad suggested sleeping around, while another showed a large, slightly blurred picture of naked body-grabbing.
And I shake my head in dismay at the few sparsely placed ads for rape hot lines and AIDS testing, asking myself what has led to the decline of society?
PETER T. KNOPP
Andreleita Schultes guest columnist opinion at karsan.com
Don't misunderstand. I
Don't misunderstand. I realize that the focus of the November 10 *Kansan* was about sex, and for that reason there was an abnormal amount of articles and ads concerning that topic. But it seems that sex has been a recurring theme for the *Kansan* this year. Some time ago, there was the full body shot of a scantily clad stripper, and a few weeks before that we were all fortunate enough to see a man's naked body (granted, there was a conveniently placed black box).
I don't think such attempts are going to work. I have a theory that newspapers chase after sensational headlines to increase circulation. It works for a while, and then people want some news of real substance, and they go to another source.
I think that's what bothers me more than anything about the Kansan's recent focus on sex: it seems like a topic for someone who is too lazy to go out and find a real story. Sex is easy to write about because it's around us, some of us are having it, yadda, yadda, yadda. And maybe once in a while sex can even be viewed as newsworthy because it's interesting and has shock value. But writing about sex to the extent I've witnessed this year is a cop-out, and it's poor journalism. Plus, it's no longer shocking.
I'm not offended. I'm more amused at the one-track mind of some of the people who are writing for the Kansan. Sex if fine. Have it. Buy your whips and chains, or whatever it is that gets you going. But sex, at least to this extent, is not news. People have been having sex for thousands of years. Might as well write on the respiratory system. But for gosh sakes, write about something Exert a little effort to be creative.
There's something to be said for subtlety, something that the Kansan doesn't seem to know about. I can't know for sure, but it seems that the Kansan is after attention grabbing headlines. It's after circulation. It's after controversy, eye-widening and gasp-inducing. To accomplish these things, the Kansan has beaten the topic of sex to death.
Where does that leave a newspaper like the Kansan? If we stop thinking about sex for a few minutes, I think the answer is obvious.
Schultes is a Roffe, Iowa, freshman in pre-journalism.
Feedback
I read the University Daily Kansan every weekday. For the most part, I find the articles to be informative, interesting and fairly well-written. But I was shocked and appalled to find an entire section devoted to Sex on the Hill.
Too much sex
The articles about roommate conflict in residence halls, the human sexuality class, Islamic views, date rape, Watkins' services and culture's effects on our society's views of sex were quite good and informative. The story on protection was helpful, although I must say that you're only kidding yourself if you think condoms or any other form of birth control will truly keep you safe.
I was, however, disgusted and shocked by Corey Peck's story on the merchandise Priscilla's has to offer. I could hardly believe my eyes as I read the graphic descriptions of vibrators and their various
Erin Downing
Colby freshman
The world today, particularly American society, has enough problems with irresponsible and dangerous sexual activities without journalists adding to the melee with such writing. It's not as if we are not already surrounded by and face a barrage of unhealthy, unsafe material and situations that have no potential for improving our minds. So please don't add to it with irresponsible, unnecessary and — I hate to say this — fairly ridiculous journalism.
uses. The Cybersex article was equally offensive.
Babies are being aborted, families torn apart, diseases spreading and killing and hearts are breaking because children, adolescents and even adults don't understand the dangers and effects of premarital sex, pornography and other promiscuous activities. These practices are unhealthy and unintelligent.
Evolution an illusion
Kenneth Demarest, professor of computer science, in a recent letter to the editor, said of the lack of debate on evolution at KU. "Any view that disagrees with that of the intellectual elite is ridiculed and excluded."
We need to understand that evolution theory is, as the philosopher Karl Popper says, a metaphysical research program. That is, just as Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic upside down, so neo-Darwinism turns Freud and Feuerbach upside down. Evolution theory is the projection of an illusion to protect the intellectual elite from ontological anxiety, that is, the question of the existence of God. Obviously.

Marcy Playground offers more than Sex and Candy
Kansan sports columnist
By Seth Jones
The question Marcy Playground needs to ask itself is, outside of sex and candy, what else could fans want?
Marcy Playground, whose single Sex and Candy helped the group sell 1.5 million copies of its first, self-titled album, played at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., Saturday night. With its second album, Shapeshifter, only a month old, the group is hoping to follow up with the same success.
Combining solid guitars with smooth vocals, Marcy Playground played an enjoyable and unique show. These guys didn't jump around the stage like maniacs with a strobe light going crazy. Instead, the lead singer did a weak imitation of a robot dance and let the music do all the talking.
Front man John Wozniak opened the show by himself with the slow Opium from the group's first album. Building to a crescendo as the rest of the band walked onto the stage, Wozniak switched to Poppies, another old song, before getting into new material.
It's Saturday, the first release from the new album,
was the first new song the band played. The group
Commentary
mixed up the set, playing eight songs from Shapeshifter and seven from the first album. The group also played two unreleased songs.
Most of the band's music was brooding but clear. Someone obviously must have picked on the band members too much in junior high. Throughout the set, Wozniak's painful lyrics dominated the instruments. Much of his singing comes through in an almost conversational tone, with occasional moments of crooning.
Adding to the mellow mood, an interesting light show was available courtesy of California-based Brotherhood of Light. Using a common overhead projector, just like the projectors found in most campus classrooms, a man known simply as Liquid Pete flashed colored waves of bubbles on a screen behind the band. He also had a video projector, which flashed images of everything from old ships to Japanese animation with the bubbles.
"I use clock faces with mineral oil, then add food coloring, oil dye and other things to make it colorful."
he said. "I've been doing this for The Allman Brothers since 1984. It was actually four college guys doing too many drugs who figured out you could use a projector like this and make a pretty cool light show."
With the light show rolling and the band in a groove, Wozniak asked for more crowd participation.
"You have freedom about the cabin," he said. "The seat belt light has been turned off, people."
Two songs later, the band bid Lawrence farewell with five more shows scheduled for the month.
After playing for an hour, the band took a brief rest. Wozniak once again walked back out without his four-man band, and played the hit Sex and Candy by himself.
Bands like Marcy Playground unfortunately get identified with just one song. *Sex and Candy* will be the song with which fans always identify the group. What people should realize is that Marcy Playground shouldn't be a one-hit wonder. With the proven ability to put together enjoyable CDs and perform entertaining live shows, Marcy Playground is a band that should be known not just for *Sex and Candy* but as a band not afraid to break the mold.

Degrees in death
Story by Ezra Sykes Photos by Shelby Smith
Mortuary students part of an uncommon undertaking
1000
Top: Professor Wiley Wright, right, uses a coffee rather than a chalkboard to instruct students such as Patty Dandas, left. Mortuary science students can choose from courses such as mortuary chemistry and restorative art, which teaches future morticians how to retrofete destroyed features.

atty Dandas is prepared to die.
P
As a matter of fact, she keeps a list of the arrangements in the front of her Bible at home.
Every detail — from to the pallbearers who will carry her coffin to the songs that will be played at her funeral — is outlined. It is a whole plan for how her last day above the earth will proceed.
Although some would consider her plan morbid, for Dandas it's a matter of life and death.
"Death is just as much a part of life as birth," says Dandas, who studies mortuary science at Kansas City Kansas Community College: "I want to be ready for it when it happens."
Like other students in the mortuary science program, Dandas devotes an abundance of her time on earth to the study of death, a subject that carries with it a huge amount of practical as well as emotional considerations. Throughout the program, which is the only one of its kind in Kansas, students learn how to sell a casket to a grief-striken family member. They learn how to preserve a corpse. They learn that not everybody understands the fact that the world needs morticians. And perhaps most importantly, they learn how to deal with death.
Class
It's 8 o'clock on Monday morning, and Wiley Wright is ready to talk embalming.
This morning the subject is arterial fluid — a compound that slows decomposition and stiffens a body. Wright, who teaches the embalming theory class and is coordinator of the mortuary science program, explains how different ratios of fluid and water are used under different circumstances. By using a mathematical equation, students figure the ratios of water to arterial fluid they would need for bodies that may have been refrigerated, frozen, involved in traumatic accidents or laden with gangrenous limbs.
Although it's not the typical history or science class, it's still just a class. The 24 students, divided fairly evenly between male and female, chat beforehand about football games and weekend festivities like anyone else.
And despite the subject matter, Wright carries on a rather cheerful discussion with his class.
"You don't take death lightly, but you must have an outlet to discuss the various cases you've been involved with," says Wright, who shares a few stories during class from his 18 years in the business.
The mortuary science program requires students to take 72 credit hours, or four semesters, of classes. This includes two practicums that involve working at a funeral home about 15 hours a week. Students are then required to pass a state examination and complete one year of apprenticeship before they are considered full-fieDED morticians.
For many in the field it's a second career choice. Before studying mortuary science, Dandas worked as a teacher's aide at the Eudora elementary school. After working closely with the funeral director who handled her mother's death a few years ago, Dandas became fascinated by the profession and decided to jump in.
"Life is short," she says, explaining her move. "We need to do things we want to do."
You do what?
Dan Rexwinkel didn't tell his girlfriend that he was studying to become a mortician until three weeks into their relationship. When he finally broke the news, she was a little stunned.
"She opened her eyes kind of big and was like,' you do?' Rexwinkel recalls.
Such reactions aren't uncommon toward those studying mortuary science. The profession can
summon up a few disturbing thoughts as well as some incorrect assumptions.
"They usually remember what you do." says Wright.
Dandas, who is completing her practicum at Warren-McElwain Mortuary, 120 W. 13th St. in Lawrence, attempted to keep the news of her new career choice private for as long as possible in the small town of Eudora.
"I didn't want to tell people because I wanted to keep my friends," she said. "When I finally told them, they asked me why I would want to deal with death every day."
Rexwinkel pointed out an interesting conflict in publicizing his line of work.
"The family is really quick to brag while you want to keep kind of a low profile," he said. "When I told people I wanted to become a mortician they were saying 'ugh,' but to me it's like any other job."
Perspectives
In most cases, a mortician isn't only in charge of preserving a body. Duties can range from counseling a family to selling coffins to driving a hearse. The job also involves upholding an important tenet of mortuary work: being quiet.
"If you can't keep things to yourself, you can't make it in this business," says Rexwinkel, who lives and works at Ramsey-Yost Funeral Home, 601 Indiana St., while attending classes. "Confidentiality is a must. When suicides and murders happen, people want to know about the situation. I tell them, I don't know any more than you know."
There is a time to talk, however. In the mortuary science program, courses such as Grieving Process teach students how to deal with those who have lost loved ones — a task that few would consider delightful.
"You've got to be able to express emotion and then move on," says Rexwinkel. "Your neighbor could die. You're still going to feel grief, but you have to move on."
Dealing so often with death can bring new perspectives on life into play.
Dandas, who remembers being so queasy she had to sit down at her first embalming, said that a funeral brought closure on a person's life.
"We are a society who doesn't face death," she
"We are a soc says. "It makes you appreciate
every day."
F o r Rexwinkel, seeing death every day sparks a preventative outlook.
"It makes you think twice when you see drunk drivers," he says. "You want to go up to them and ask them what they're thinking when they step into their car."
For all the insights mortuary science students gain, some realms of death are left untouched.
It's not like the movies, says Wiley Wright, where bodies come back to life to seek revenge or peace. It's real life and real death.
"Everyone has moments when they see a body move or breathe," he says. "There's always some uncertainty at the beginning."
Students also learn about burial alternatives, such as cremation. Cardboard coffins are used in the cremation process.

STILLWATER, Okla. — The new- and-improved Jayhawks played like the Jayhawks of old Saturday, at least for a half.
It'll go down as an Oklahoma State victory, but it was no different than the Notre Dame, Colorado, San Diego State and Kansas State losses earlier in the season.
In those games, big plays and mental lapses were problems. The Jayhawks seemed to fix those problems during the last three weeks, when they beat Missouri and Baylor and nearly beat Nebraska.
Well, the old Hawks came back.
Kansas held a 13-10 halftime advantage, but it turned into a 45-13 loss after the Cowboys exploded for 21 third-quarter points and put the game out of reach in a hurry.
In a five-minute span, the Cowboys returned a punt 44 yards, then scored, returned a punt 60 yards, then scored, and recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown.
Kansas outgained the Cowboys in total yards, 307 to 273, and the two

Kansas football coach
teams were even in time of possession and first downs — but Kansas still lost by 32 points.
"It was frustrating. The whole second half things weren't going our way," quarterback Dylan Smith said.
The sudden swing in momentum came after Kansas took the lead in the second quarter, playing like it had been playing the last three weeks — running the ball and getting big plays. But when the third quarter came around, so did the Javhawks of old.
Back-to-back long punt returns set up two touchdowns in a span of three minutes. Suddenly, Oklahoma State had all the momentum.
"That was one of my biggest fears coming in here." Coach Terry Allen said.
"We overcame the initial momentum or emotion because after the 52-yard run we forced them to kick a field goal."
The special teams' struggles illustrated Kansas' biggest problem — containing explosive punt returners. Much like when Nebraska punt returner Bobby Newcombe swung the game in Nebraska's favor two weeks ago, Cowboys punt returner Terance Richardson smoked the Jayhawk defense and turned the game around.
"It kind of sucks when you give up those big plays," safety Chad Coelner said. "We just weren't ready, and they took it to us."
The second half overshadowed another solid performance by running back Moran Norris, who rushed for a career-high 118 yards on 20 carries. It was the second 100-yard rushing game of his career, and it gave Kansas its third running back with more than 400 rushing yards in a season for the first time since 1993.
The balance on offense mirrored the balance on defense. An improved defensive secondary — Kansas gave up only 135 passing yards, 36 on one play — and a commitment to stopping the run gave Kansas the edge statistically, but the final score didn't reflect it.
"They were better than we were. No excuses." Allen said.

Baylor sweeps Kansas' NCAA dreams aside
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Baylor was out for revenge, but the Jayhawks just happened to be standing in the way.
The No. 23 Baylor Bears upended the Kansas volleyball team Saturday night in Waco, Texas, sweeping the Jayhawks 3-0 at the Ferrell Center.
Kansas, 17-10 overall and 8-8 in the Big 12 Conference, dropped
game scores of 15-9, 15-11 and 15-13. The Jayhawks held leads of 6-2 and 13-11 in the third game, but they couldn't finish off the Browns.
VOLLEYBALL
"It's disappointed," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "It's a matter of us having opportunities, but not finishing them."
Part of the reason Kansas couldn't finish those opportunities was that they couldn't contain Baylor's outside hitter Elisha Polk, who had a match-high 23 kills.
The loss snapped a two-match winning streak for the Jayhawks, and it suddenly darkened their NCAA tournament hopes. In all likelihood, Kansas must win three of its last four matches in to earn an at-large tournament bid.
Kansas will close its season at No. 15 Texas A&M, at home against No. 19 Kansas State, at Iowa State, and at home against No.22 Colorado.
Kansas was out-hit in the match, 250 to 171, and Jayhawks committed 26 hitting errors. Meanwhile, Baylor extended a team record by snapping its 15th sweep of the season, while Polk's 23 kills moved her into 15th place all-time in NCAA history with 2,142 kills.
"We need to make better decisions and compete better in pressure situations," Bechard said. "Baylor, though, played extremely well. You've got to hand it to them."
Kansas will get nearly a week off to prepare for its next match. The Jayhawks will take on Texas A&M at 7 p.m. Friday in College Station, Texas. The Aggies won their first meeting on Oct. 15, sweeping the Jayhawks before Late Night with Roy Williams in Allen FIELDhouse.
'Hawks pummel Supercats

Kansas forces 33 turnovers in final tune-up
By Matt Tait

Kansan sportswriter
If Kansas only had counted the points it scored off turnovers, it still would have won.
Kansas' full-court press was the story of the game, just as it was in the first preseason game last Saturday. The Jayhawks forced 33 turnovers with tenacious full-court and three-quarter court traps. In the Jayhawks' first exhibition game, the press was effective at times, but it also allowed the California All-Stars to start fast breaks of its own.
The Jayhawks destroyed Australia's Geelong Supercats on Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse, 119-44, Kansas' largest margin of victory in team history for either an exhibition or regular season game.
"We did a better job, when we were pressing, not letting someone sneak down the court and get an easy basket," Kansas coach Roy Williams said.
While the Jayhawks forced 33 turnovers, they only committed 15. down from 24 last week.
"With the pace of the game, you're going to have a lot of possessions and, when you have over 100 possessions, if you can have 15 turnovers that's very good," Williams said.
Kansas did not use the press at the start of the game and fell behind early, 5-0. But the 'Hawks countered the Supercats' run with an 8-0 run, sparked by two Nick Bradford three-pointers. After the flurry, which gave Kansas the lead for good, Geelong called a timeout. The Supercats could have called the game.
After the timeout, Kansas unleashed its press, which led to steals, dunks, and lay-ups, and the lead stretched to 17-5. That would be as close as Geelong could get to the Jayhawks, who kept the pressure

Commentary The Jayhawks' special teams aren't so special
STILLWATER, Okla. — There is something evil in Oklahoma.
Kansas did not play its best football in the first half of Saturday's 45-13 defeat against Oklahoma State, but it went into the locker room leading 13-10. There were signs that the Jayhawks were the same team that beat Missouri and Baylor, and the same team that had hung tough with nationally-ranked Texas A&M and Nebraska.
The Jayhawks were down 10-0 after one quarter, but touchdown drives of 70 and 80 yards in the second quarter put

then something went into the Kansas locker room, and replaced the new Jayhawks with the team that made mistakes and turned over the ball earlier in the season, which led to embarrassing defeats against Notre Dame, San Diego State and Colorado.

The Cowboys
would outscore the Jayhawks 35-0 in the second half, but the defense didn't play badly. Oklahoma State's touchdown-scoring drives were 35 yards, eight yards, 66 yards and one yard. It also scored on a fumble recovery in the end zone and a blocked punt return.
But really, there was one reason the score was so lopsided — the special teams.
Allen was referring to the Nebraska game, when Bobby Combe ate up the Jayhawks in the second half with punt returns, including an 86-yard return for a touchdown that gave the Cornhuskers a 17-9 advantage.
"Special teams made the difference." Kansas coach Terry Allen said. "It was particularly frustrating because it happened to us two weeks ago."
But it was even worse on Saturday. The Cowboys' Terance Richardson burned the Jayhawks for 140 return yards on only six attempts. That's more than 23 yards a return. And midway through the third quarter, he had back-to-back returns of 44 and 60 yards, which both led to easy Cowboys touchdowns. And if you throw in the blocked punt in the first quarter, you can conclude that the Jayhawks 'not-so-special teams had a horrible day.
And while Richardson slashed through the Jayhawks, Kansas' Henri Childs, who can be a dangerous punt returner, baffled everyone by calling fair catch after fair catch. Once in the fourth quarter, Childs called for a fair catch when nobody was within 10 yards of him. I can't figure this out. Henri, for goodness sake, if you are healthy, try a return! If your turf toe is bothering you, let Harrison Hill or someone else return punts.
"Special teams were our Achilles' heel, there's no question about it." Allen said. "We had our opportunities there, but the blocked punt and the returns killed us. When you block one early, that creates an opportunity for a return because you concentrate on protecting, and you can't do that with a guy like Richardson."
And of course, Kansas' wonderful day of special teams would not have been complete without a miscue in the kicking game. For once, it wasn't Joe Garcia's fault. After scoring on a 56-yard pass play, Hill bobbled the snap on the extra point. That made it the seventh game this season that the Jayhawks have failed on at least one field goal or extra point attempt.
Kansas' defense has improved dramatically since the San Diego State game. The offense has been solid at times, but the whole season, the special teams have been embarrassing. Looks like Allen has his work cut out for him in the off-season in the special teams department.

Woods ends his streak with sixth-place finish
GOLF
TA SHEE, Taiwan — His four-tournament winning streak finished, Tiger Woods walked off the course after finishing sixth at the Johnnie Walker Classic.
And he didn't feel like talking about it. A winner in eight of his last 11 tournaments, Woods putted poorly all week and his game deserted him entirely on the front nine yesterday. But the way Michael Campbell of New Zealand played, there was no chance of Woods making another comeback. Campbell, who contended in British Open at St. Andrews in 1995 but hasn't won since that year, closed with a 2-under 70 for a one-stroke victory ahead of Geoffrey Olivia of Australia.
"Tiger, he's a freak of nature," Campbell said. "I mean Tiger is so phenomenal it's frightening. The only
way we can defeat Tiger is for him to make mistakes,"
Woods committed all sorts of errors yesterday. First, he hooked his drive on the sixth hole into the rough and down a gully beside a hedge, forcing him to take a stroke.
Then, on the eighth hole, things got worse. He drove into the rough, hit his recovery shot into the water and took three putts for a triple bogey.

"We're working very hard to get him to rebound the ball outside his area," Eustachy said. "He's good when the ball comes out over his head. He's got the best vertical leap on the team, so he can jump up and get them."
Virginia Tech holds hope for championship finish
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech plans to Hokie Pokie right into the national championship game.
Led by a defense that forced six turnovers, including three interceptions by cornerback Anthony Midget, and two touchdown runs by Shyrone Stith, No. 2 Virginia Tech sidesteped No. 19 Miami 43-10 Saturday night and kept alive its drive to the Sugar Bowl and a national title.
After coming back from an early 10-point deficit and taking a 14-10 halftime lead, the Hokies (9-0, 5-0 Big East) blew open the fiercely fought game in the fourth quarter on a 64-yard punt return for a touchdown by Ricky Hall and a 51-yard fumble return for a score by lke Charlton 24 seconds later.
Virginia Tech, third in last week's Bowl Championship Series standings, should move into second place behind No. 1 Florida State in next week's standings.
Mississippi streak ends with loss to Alabama
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Mississippi State finally ran out of miracles and out of the national title chase.
Andrew Zow threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Shamari Buchan with 6:04 to play Saturday and gave No. 11 Alabama a 19-7 victory against No. 8 Mississippi State.
The win gave the Crimson Tide (8-2, 6-1) sole possession of first place in the SEC West and ended a three-game losing streak against the Bulldogs (8-1, 5-1).
The loss ruined Mississippi State's chances at its first-ever undefeated season and probably will prevent the Bulldogs from making a second straight trip to the SEC title game. But if Alabama beats Auburn next week, the Tide are guaranteed a spot in the SEC championship game and a rematch with No. 4 Florida.

Jayhawks use press to dispose of Australian team
on and led 54-18 at the half.
While the game quickly got out of hand, there was enough action to keep the sellout crowd of 16,300 entertained — especially at the 13-minute mark when Williams looked down the bench to make a substitution.
To a cheer of "Luuuuke," Kansas junior guard Luke Axtell ripped off his warm-ups and checked in for the first time as a Jayhawk.
About 20 seconds later, Axell scored his first points for Kansas when he
forced a steal, ran the fast break and was fouled, which sent him to the free-throw line. The two foul shots were good and Axtell's nerves were eased.
"It had been a year and a half since I scored in a basketball game," Axtell said. "That felt really good."
Overall, the Jayhawks showed improvement from the first exhibition game. The offense scored 119 points, but again, most of those points came from fast breaks, instead of half-court offensive sets. Williams said he had hoped that Geelong would play more man-to-man instead of zone defense.
"We didn't get as much of our half-court offensive stuff as I had hoped, especially when they went to zone," Williams said. "We weren't very effective against the zone, but we haven't worked on it, so we shouldn't expect to be."
Although his new offense was sparsely used, Williams insisted that it did exist and that man-to-man, half-court defense would be a key to the Jayhawks' success.
"It's not the Chicago Bulls' triple-post offense," Williams said. "It's what we run to help our team, and it does have a name. It's called Kansas' offense."
The next opportunity to play against a man-to-man defense will come at 7:05 p.m. Friday in the season opener against Fairfield at Allen Fieldhouse. Although Williams said he'd like to have another preseason game to get some more work, Boschee said he was ready to get the season started.
"We did execute better tonight, and I think the whole thing's going to start on Friday," Boschee said. "We're going to face a lot better competition, and I'm ready for the season to start."

Axtell's debut stirs an ovation
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Cool Hand Luke made his debut for Kansas on Saturday night.
Luke Axtell, a 6-foot-10 junior transfer from Texas, who sat out last season because of NCAA transfer rules, scored 11
points in 12 minutes during Kansas' 119-44 exhibition romp against the Geelong Supercats in Allen Fieldhouse. Axtell also grabbed two rebounds and made two steals, but he rarely found the rim in zero-for-five shooting from three-point range
"He was a little bit nervous and hyper," said coach Roy.
B. G. Hammett
Williams said. "He got 12 minutes, and I was happy he didn't get cracked in the hand."
Axtell scored 11 points in his debut as Jayhawk
Axtell broke a bone in his left (nonshooting) hand in a Oct. 23 practice, which caused him to miss two weeks of
practice and Kansas' first exhibition game. He returned to practice on a limited basis last week and played Saturday night with two fingers wrapped in tape.
"It itdn't bother me too much," Axtell said. "I've been sitting out two weeks, and I got tired pretty fast. It's something that I need to get back into."
Axtell got back into things with 13:08 left in the first half. The crowd gave him a standing ovation as he came into the game for forward Ashante Johnson.
"It it felt great," Axtell said. "It's been about a year and a half coming."
It also must have felt great seconds later when Axtell scored his first points as a Jayhawk.
Kansas center Eric Chenowith came up with a steal, and Geelong's Charles Terrell fouled Axell on the ensuing fast break with 13:04 remaining. Axell hit both free throws; he ended up five-for-six from the line for the night. He was also three-for-three from inside the arc. It was just the three-pointers that gave him fits.
"I got five (attempts at) threes tonight and just missed them all." Axtell said. "I didn't shoot like I wanted. obviously."
The first three-point attempt came with 4:06 remaining in the first half. Axtell put
up an air ball from the right wing, then made amends 30 seconds later by dunking on a fast break via a lob from Chenowith.
After missing his first three-point attempt in the second half, Axell put up another long-range missile in front of the Kansas bench with 8:43 remaining.
Axtell chalked that one up to fatigue.
The shot missed but was rebounded by Kansas forward Nick Collison. Collison dished the ball back out to Axtell, who put it up again. The shot fizzled off the rim and out of bounds.
"When he missed the first one, I yelled, 'shoot it again,'" Williams said. "Then he jumped about two newspaper lengths, and you could tell that his legs were gone. He turned to me and said, 'I'm done.'"
For added emphasis, Axtell went and tapped Williams on the leg.
"When you want to come out, you're supposed to raise your fist," Axtell said. "And I just wanted to make sure he saw me."
Williams said that it still would be seven to 10 days before Axtell's hand was completely healed.
Kansas' regular season opener is against Fairfield at 7:05 p.m. Friday in Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas Jayhawks (119)
Kansas quarterback Dylan Smith was up — he threw for 156 yards and a touchdown — and down — he was sacked five times and fumbled three times, but Oklahoma State quarterback Tony Lindsay was more consistent. Neither quarterback was the difference in the 45-10 Oklahoma State victory, but they were certainly the focus.
But when Smith was off, things went south. He fumbled three times, and lost two of them. One fumble was in the end zone that resulted in a Cowboy touchdown, the other was on the Kansas four-yard line, which the Cowboys recovered and scored one play later.
"I just dropped the ball," Smith said. "I don't know if I could have done anything different to not make me fumble."
Smith has developed into the playmaker for Kansas. He's mobile, strong;armed and quick but is still learning Kansas' offense.
Smith said he was uncomfortable with the blitzing Cowboy defense. He was hurried three times and could not establish a rhythm.
When he was on, things went well. He and wide receiver Harrison Hill connected on a 56-yard touchdown. Smith found Hill streaking across the middle of the field, and Smith hit him in stride.
"He just threw it up there," Hill said. "It was perfect."
Oklahoma State's Lindsay, on the other hand, was subdued in his offensive role. He handed off most of the day and ran the option when it was called. But he was accurate when he did throw—completing 11 of 16 passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
Smith tried to do what he could but just couldn't connect on a consistent basis as he finished the day with 10 of 25, passing for one touchdown.
Cowboys' running back Cameron White had as many touchdown passes as Smith. White connected with wide receiver Ethan Howell on a halfback pass in the fourth quarter.
The game was another learning experience for Smith, who has been through some rough times this season but none more frustrating than Saturdav.
"My two fumbles were the difference in the game," Smith said. "You've got to think we were still in it at that point."

Fall intramural tournament will sharpen referees' skills
By Jason Walker
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Basketball players at the University of Kansas only have to wait a couple of weeks to start schooling each other.
The first day of the pre-holidays intramural basketball tournament will begin Nov. 29, the Monday after Thanksgiving break. Entries are now open for the tournament, which is sponsored by Kansas Recreation Services.
Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services, said that the tournament attracted more teams each year and that he hoped for a good turnout.
"Last year, we had something like 83 teams," he said. "We just want to spark everyone's interest to get them ready for the regular season in the spring."
Tom Nienke, Mulvane senior and program assistant, said he was ready for the tournament to begin but that it was
"I'm excited about it because I want to see how the competition is," he said.
"But we have to do it fast because we have to do the whole tournament in a week and a half before classes end."
going to be hectic.
Krone said the main reason for the tournament was for the officials, who would gain experience refereeing games before the regular season.
Besides the basketball competition, floor hockey and indoor volleyball tournaments also will continue. Krone said he thought floor hockey was one of the more interesting sports recreation services offered. He said it tended to attract students from Northern states where ice hockey was more popular.
The pre-holidays basketball tournament entry fee is $20 per team, and anyone wishing to register a team can stop by the recreation services office at 208 Robinson Center.

'Huskers regain Wildcat respect, top spot in Big 12 North Division
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska is happily back on top in the Big 12 North Division.
The Associated Press
The No. 7 Cornhuskers avenged last year's loss to Kansas State by blowing out the No. 5 Wildcats 41-15 Saturday. Nebraska (9-1 overall, 6-1 Big 12) can clinch the North title by beating Colorado on Nov. 26.
Eric Crouch and Nebraska with 158 yards rushing and two touchdowns as the Cornhuskers quickly forgot about last year's 40-30 loss.
"We knew they didn't respect Nebraska like they used to. We knew they didn't fear Nebraska like they used to," linebacker Carlos Polk said. "We wanted to put that fear back into them."
Kansas State's win last year snapped a 29-game losing streak against the Tuskers. The Wildcats' chances at two straight didn't look good at halftime Saturday, when they trailed 24-9, and vanished in the fourth quarter when Nebraska scored 17 points. The loss likely will drop the Wildcats (9-1, 6-1)
out of contention for the national championship.
"We weren't very good. Not very good in
We weren't very all phases of the game. And they played awfully good, "Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. "Any time you play a team that is as good at playing the option as Crouch, and couple that with
HUKEBEL
excellent execution, you're in for a long day." The 'Huskers dominated the battle between two of the top four defenses in the country. Nebraska gained 253 yards by half-time on a defense that ranked No. 2 nationally at 232.3 per game. Nebraska, No. 4 nationally at 234.6 yards, limited K-State to 234, 170 below its average.
Nebraska finished with 378 yards offense, 227 coming from Crouch. He was 8-for-17 passing for 69 yards and set a Nebraska quarterback record with 27 carries.

Hospital sees more 'rape drug' overdoses
By Katie Hollar
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Lawrence Memorial Hospital has reported at least three incidents of a "kitchen sink" drug in the past week.
The hospital has treated at least three patients for overdose symptoms associated with gamma hydroxybutyric acid, a depressant with effects similar to alcohol. Clinical pharmacist Stacy Gray said the potential for other unidentified cases was great.
GHB is not manufactured normally, Gray said, but instead is made in homes. He said the sketchy chemistry of the substance could result in formulas that were too acidic or too alkaline, sometimes resulting in esophageal burns.
Hospital staff has attended to GHB users in two scenarios; overdose and withdrawal.
Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler said his office had not seen any cases with the drug. He said that GHB could be used as a date rape drug, but that in all of the cases at the hospital, the drug had been self-administered.
Gray said symptoms of overdose included lethargy, depression, drowsiness, coma and even death.
Symptoms of withdrawal, he said, were similar, but could cause severe and permanent auditory damage, hallucinations and brain damage.
"Basically you've got a young person that's completely incapacitated," he said. "It's a really sad thing to see."
There is no prescribed treatment or antidote for GHB complications. Treatment is merely supportive and symptom-mandated.
While the hospital has not handled any GHB-related deaths, Gray said it was not uncommon.
"I do believe there have been deaths in the state of Kansas and nationwide," he said.
Gray said most users of the drug were high school or college students seeking a euphoria similar to an alcohol-induced one.
Because GHB is not a registered drug, it is not illegal. Wheeler said.
"It's like laughing gas," he said. "It's abuse falls through the cracks."

achelle Shannon calls herself a soldier.
But instead of serving on some front line, Shannon is serving an 11-year sentence in a maximum-security prison cell at the Topeka Correctional Facility. Her crime: attempted first-degree murder. Her target: Wichita physician George Tiller, one of only a handful of doctors known across the nation for performing late-term abortions.
Her belief in God's will led Shannon to Tiller, whom she calls a "serial murderer." She shot him twice — once in each arm — as he entered his Wichita clinic Aug. 19, 1993. The attack put Tiller alongside other abortion providers across the nation who have been targets: David Gunn, George Wayne Patterson, John Bayard Britton and Barnett Slepian. Tiller, however, is the only one who survived. When she shot Tiller, Shannon sold
When she shot Tiller, Shannon solidified her palace in the history of the Kansas abortion debate, a once pitched
battle now winding down despite the efforts of lawmakers and activists alike.
Profile of a soldier
Profile of a soldier
Shannon, a 43-year-old from Grants Pass, Ore., is a divorcee with two grown children.
Before her arrest, she had worked jobs as a janitor, a desk clerk and a secretary.
She said the turning point in her life came in 1988,
when she read an article about The Silent Scream, a film which depicted a sonogram
of an abortion.
"I had prayed seriously and told God I wanted my life to make a difference and that I would do anything he wanted me to, as long as he made it perfectly clear to me," she said.
Although Shannon denied trying to kill Tiller, she said she had no sympathy for murdered abortion providers.
"I might cry about the death of a baby," she said. "but I'll never shed a tear over some abortionist getting what he deserves."
After her arrest, police found a manual buried in Shannon's back yard that came from the Army of God, a right-wing organization that has claimed responsibility for firebomb attacks on women's clinics and gay nightclubs across the nation. The manual quoted Bible verses, contained instructions for making bombs and advocated the assassination of abortion providers. It said the identity of members remained a secret, so "the Feds will never stop us."
Shannon, however, doesn't see the group as just a loose confederation of activists.
"We're soldiers, not members," she said.
One not from Tiller's clinic — including Tiller — would comment for this article.
Aggressors, legislators can't stop Tiller Things in Kansas have calmed considerably since Shannon's attack on Tiller. Her action marked the climax in a series of events aimed at ending his practice. In 1986, a bomb caused $100,000 damage to the clinic building. In 1991, more than 2,500 people were arrested for blocking the clinic's entrance during Operation Rescue's "Summer of Mercy." In 1994, blocking any clinic entrance anywhere became a federal offense, and

Attorney General Janet Reno ordered U.S. Marshals' deputies to stand guard at clinics in 11 cities. Tiller's clinic was one of those. And last November, the clinic received a letter claiming to contain anthrax. Test results concluded the contents were not dangerous.
Since then, the atmosphere surrounding Tiller's clinic has remained unusually quiet. Protesters still show up, but not in the numbers — or frequency — they once did.
Even with a Republican-dominated and virtually anti-abortion Legislature, Kansas has proven to be a good business location for Tiller. Indeed, though the past two

Battery fumes force evacuation
Ellsworth Hall closed for nearly three hours
By Clay McCusition and Michael Terry writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writers
Battery fumes from the basement of the Networking and Telecommunications Services annex at Ellsworth Hall led to the evacuation of both the annex and the residence hall yesterday morning.
The University of Kansas Public Safety Office received a call from NTS staff about the potentially harmful gasses at 8:05 a.m., Sgt. Troy Mallen said. The office then called the Lawrence and Douglas County fire and medical departments, the KU department of environment, health and safety and Lucent technologies (an NTS technology supplier) to the scene.
No students or faculty were injured by the toxic fumes.
The public safety officers pulled the fire alarm at Ellsworth at 8:14 a.m. No one detected any fumes in the hall, but it still was evacuated as a precautionary measure. Mailen said.
Monica Cardin, Papillion, Neb., Junior.
said she was not prepared to be outside for more than 20 minutes after the fire alarm was pulled.
"I didn't take anything with me because I thought it was just another false alarm," Cardin said. "When I finally found out it was going to be three hours, I was a little upset because I didn't bring any of my books to go to class."
During that time, firefighters and public safety officers donned protective suits and respirators to find the source of the fumes. The group eventually narrowed its search to a rack of backup batteries in the basement of the annex. Several of the batteries were cracked and burned through, said Mike Russell, director of the environment, health and safety department.
Evacuated students were directed to the McCollum Hall lobby until Ellsworth was reopened at 11 a.m.
BACON
Russell said he didn't know why the batteries were damaged, but it seemed likely that they were overloaded in some way. Malien said there was no leakage of actual battery acid.
Although the batteries were shut off for examination — leading to fears that the campus telephone system would be disrupted — the only effect on the NTS office was a half-hour blackout of the

University's voice mail system between 10:45 and 11:15 a.m.
Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services, said campus Internet service also may have been disrupted, but for too short a time for users to notice.
The NTS annex was reopened at 11:30 a.m., after firefighters had dispersed the fumes. At press time, Lucent Technologies still was trying to find the reason for the batteries' malfunction.

Frozen turkeys don't go to gutter after bowling
By Lori O'Toole
Kansan staff writer
For several years, about a hundred Ellsworth Hall residents have participated in the annual turkey bowling event.
In the free program, which begins at 6:30 tonight, residents will use five frozen turkies wrapped in aluminum foil and pillowcases in lieu of bowling balls on the floor of the main lobby.
Many rumors exist about the turkeys themselves. Some say the hall government purchases new turkeys each year and donates them to charity when the bowling festivities are finished. Others believe they are stored in a hall freezer each year and retrieved one evening a year for the event.
Jessica Fishback, Ellsworth Hall president and Florissant, Mo., sophomore, said the same five turkeys are used year after year.
"We don't buy new ones so we don't waste as many," she said. "That's why people get upset — they think we use a ton of new ones every year. I definitely think it's a good thing that we reuse them. Otherwise I would understand why people would get mad."
Fishback said animal rights groups and environmentalists who protested the event each year usually did not understand the turkeys' past.
She said the hall government had not considered donating the turkeys to a charity this year after the event. She also said she did not think this had been done in past years.
"I don't know if it's a good idea to thaw them, roll them on the ground and then give them away." Fishback said.
Paul Turvey, staff member and Lawrence junior, said one of the turkeys that would be used had been stored in his apartment freezer.
...screwed in his apaliment free.
"I don't have my freezer much, but it's just there."
"I have it."
Turvey said two additional turkies were stored in a freezer in the Ewellswood student kitchen, but that there may be a new turkey or two at the program this year. He said one of the turkeys from last year was left out of the freezer and had to be thrown away.
"I'd hope that we can reuse five turkens every year," he said. "It only makes sense. We're not trying to waste food."

Supreme Court considers Texas school-prayer case
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court re-entered the emotional debate about school prayer Monday, agreeing to decide whether public schools can let students lead group invocations at high school football games.
"The school district is not causing prayer or endorsing prayer if it leaves to the student the choice of what to say," school district lawyer Lisa A. Brown said after the nation's highest court granted review. "There's a long tradition in many states of having this pre-game ceremony of having a moment of reflection before the game begins."
A Galveston County, Texas, school board is asking the justices to overturn a lower court ruling that said student-led prayers on the public-address system at football games violated the constitutionally required separation of church and state.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State contended such prayers at officially sponsored school events violate the Constitution.
But the Rev. Barry Lynn of
"The school's giving you the microphone; it will sound like an officially sanctioned religious statement and that's what has no place at a high school football game," Lynn said.
The justice's last major school prayer ruling, in 1992, barred clergy-led prayers at public school graduation ceremonies.
The ruling was viewed by many as a strong reaffirmation of the highest court's 1962 decision banning organized, officially sponsored prayers from public schools.
But in 1993, the justices let stand a federal appeals court ruling in a Texas case that allowed student-led prayers at graduations. That ruling, which also applies to Louisiana and Mississippi, conflicts with another federal appeals court decision barring student-led graduation prayers in nine Western states.
IRS was asked to audit many tax-exempt groups
WASHINGTON — Members of Congress and the White House have triggered audits of hundreds of tax-exempt groups this decade by lodging complaints with the Internal Revenue Service against their political foes.
The referrals range from citizen letters and newspaper articles to personal demands for investigations, according to documents reviewed by The Associated Press.
The White House once referred a constituent complaint about a group that had suggested presidential lawyer Vincent Foster had been murdered. Democratic lawmakers sought investigations of conservatives ranging from the Heritage Foundation to the Rev. Jerry Falwell.
And the Republican chairman of the House committee that writes tax laws sought an audit of a Buddhist temple in California after it was host for a Democratic fund-raiser featuring Vice President Al Gore.
"It is my assumption that the Internal Revenue Service has commenced, or will soon commence, an investigation into these activities," House Ways and Means chairman Bill Archer wrote Oct. 18, 1996, just three weeks before the presidential election.
The IRS says less than 1 percent of the 6,000 to 10,000 audits of tax-exempt groups each year originate with complaints from lawmakers or the White House. The White House forwards about 1,300 constituent letters each year to the IRS ranging from complaints of wrongdoing to obscure tax questions.

Protesters condemn KU students
Bv Todd Halstead
Kansan staff writer
You are all going to hell — unless you leave the kingdom of darkness known as the University of Kansas and begin preaching the gospel of the Lord.
At least that is what the Warnecki family from Eugene, Ore., preached yesterday as it stood in front of Wescoe Hall bearing a cross and banners warning students to repent and join the cause of Jesus Christ.
"We're here to tell college students that it ain't church, it ain't religion or school — it's Jesus Christ they should be following," said Michael Warnecki, who lists the Kingdom of God as his current address. "To follow Jesus is to give up everything."
Warnecki was assisted by his wife, Rachel; his sons, Abraham, 13; Josh, 11; David, 9; and his daughters, Sarah, 19; Ruth, 17; and Elizabath, 15.
They targeted students leaving class with religious rhetoric and pamphlets telling how the family came to leave behind the world of materialism — while one daughter filmed the demonstration with a digital camcorder.
The family said they were provided
money, clothes and food from the providence of God and that was all they would reveal about their source of income.
After the first barrage of preaching, the KU Public Safety Office received complaints about the raucous religious demonstrators and forced them to take the signs off the eight-foot poles.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey said the poies violated University policy for safety reasons, and the Warnnecki family would be allowed to continue if they quieted down
Rachel Warnecki said that although the family, which continued to display the banners without poles, was persecuted at every campus, they had never been forced to take down their poles.
"In 25 years of preaching I've never heard a rule about poles," she said. "This is caused by Satan and his myriad of schemes to keep people from hearing the gospels."
Cindy Crouch, St. Louis junior and member of Campus Crusade, said she did not approve of the condemnation Michael Warnecki was thrusting upon students.
"I would consider myself a born-again, and this is not the God I observe," Crouch said. "It makes me angry that he's presenting Jesus Christ this way."
Rachel Warnecki said the family often
was persecuted by Christian students
"They're just a bunch of phonies," she said. "They are doing more for the kingdom of darkness than God."
Adam McEwen, Ottawa junior, said the demonstrators were disruptive to the learning environment.
"I think it's pathetic that at a state-funded institution of higher learning we are force-fed religion by these radicals who should go to hell." he said.
Michael Warnnecki said his children, who were home-schooled, would not attend a university. He said they had preached with him and his wife all around the world.
While preaching in Casablanca, Morocco, which is predominantly Muslim, the family had their signs confiscated and were interrogated by police for seven hours, he said.
He said that he had attended Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, Calif., the nation's largest seminary, but that he had left because, he said, "Christianity is Satan's biggest counterfeit."
"I could be a somebody with a big church, but chose to be a nobody," he said. "If you don't want to buy into the American system, seek Jesus."

Watkins prepares smokers to quit
By Amber Stuever
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Watkins Memorial Health Center will encourage students tonight to put out their cigarettes for the last time.
Watkins will present "Don't Just Blow Smoke" at its Focus on Health program from 7 to 8 tonight at the Visitors Center Auditorium.
The program precedes Thursday's American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout, which encourages people to quit smoking for one day.
Patricia Denning, Watkins physician will speak at the presentation on the pharmaceutical products to help people quit smoking. Julie Francis, Watkins Health Educator, will give psychological tips on ways to quit.
"I've heard people say, 'Quitting smoking is the easiest thing I've ever done. I've done it a thousand times,'" Francis said.
When: 7-8 p.m.
Where: Visitors Center Auditorium
For whom: Students looking for pharmaceutical and psychological tips on quitting smoking
Why: To precede Thursday's American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout
"But I think people are more successful who prepare themselves, prepare their minds, change their routine, get other things in place that are healthy for them." Denning said the first step was choosing the right day to quit.
"To me the golden opportunity is about one month away," Denning said. "I encourage all smokers, particularly in college, to pick a quit day, and the best day
is, in my opinion, the day after your last final.
"That gives them ample time to extinguish that habit under ideal circumstances," she said.
Denning and Francis said there were several ways people could prepare themselves.
Francis suggested that prior to quitting, students established an exercise program. Smokers can begin watching what they eat to avoid weight gain. They also can change daily routines to avoid cigarette breaks.
"When that quit date starts, they've already changed part of their behavior toward the positive, and once that date comes it's going to be a lot easier," Francis said.
Denning suggested that students should begin to cut back on the number of cigarettes, put away all ashtrays and avoid social situations that promote smoking.

After 12 years as program manager for Student Union Activities, Sue Buckley is leaving the University of Kansas.
Buckley announced her resignation yesterday. She said she was offered a job in Topeka where she could gain more personnel experience.
my goal in life is to be a union director," she said. Buckley became involved in student programs at Emporia State University, where she received a master's degree in counselor education with an emphasis on student personnel administration. Working as a graduate assistant at Emporia State led her to the position of program director there.
Buckley then worked at the University of Northern Colorado as the director of campus programs before being offered her position at the University.
"Being from Kansas, when this job came along I was fortunate enough to serve in this position," she said. "I have never regretted it."

Red Cross questionnaire doesn't discriminate but needs revision
Several weeks ago the American Red Cross blood drive ran into trouble when it was accused of being unfairly discriminatory toward homosexual men in its attempt to avoid blood infected with HIV/AIDS. Because of the University's non-discrimination policy, this raised the question of whether the blood drive should have been allowed. Having reviewed the questionnaire used to filter out undesirable donors, several conclusions make themselves clear.
First, the Red Cross is not guilty of discriminating against homosexual men as a social group. The questionnaire asks if the applicant is a male who has had sex with another male
The University can allow the blood drive without violating its non-discrimination policy
or a female who has had sex with a male who has had sex with a male. Thus, it does not rule out homosexual men per se, as a man can be oriented toward homosexuality and simply not have had sex with another man.
Because this is the case, the University can continue to allow the blood drive without violating its non-discrimination policy.
That said, the questions asked of potential donors should be more specific. It is not sex, with all its various meanings, that causes homosexual men to be such a high-risk group for HIV/AIDS. It is an intercourse that is the particularly high risk activity. This is important, because not all actively homosexual men engage in anal intercourse. Those who have only oral sex are no more of a risk group than women who do the same. Indeed, the questionnaire should ask women if they have had anal sex.
By addressing this issue, the questionnaire would become more useful in screening for high risk applicants, and those who have not engaged in particularly high risk activities would not be treated as though they had.

Trump plan points in right direction
Donald Trump's "soak the rich" tax scheme probably never will solve the national debt crisis, but he's pointing the finger in the right direction. Trump is proposing a one-time 14.25 percent tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth of more than $10 million to erase the national debt. Payment on the national debt will have to come from somewhere, and asking the super wealthy to put up the money may not be a bad idea.
Some criticize Trump for sensationalizing his presidential campaign by making ridiculous campaign promises. His detractors doubt that his motivation is anything short of making himself a public spectacle to win the Reform Party
It's about time a candidate took a bold stand toward solving the federal deficit
nomination. That may be true; however, Trump's economic package personally would cost him $725 million dollars. At least he's willing to put his money where his mouth is. Trump also doesn't gain political leverage by alienating the rich and influential.
It's about time a candidate took a bold stand on an issue Americans care about. For years we heard, "It's the economy, stupid," but the candidate's proposed solutions to the economy were not clear. Our democratic system is reinvigorated when someone is willing to propose a bold solution. This type of proposal never would emerge from either the Democrat or Republican camps.
But it is time to face the harsh reality that when it comes time to pay the national debt, the super wealthy will be called upon to do their share. It's not unfair to expect those who have benefited most from this society to up the ante.
What price would our superwealthy class have to pay? Here's one example: Bill Gates alone would pay $12 billion under the Trump plan, leaving him the tidy sum of $73 billion to enjoy his retirement years.

Rare disease diagnosis scary, not unbeatable
Perspective
"I in three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on." — Robert Frost
I'm happy to know that I'm not crazy and I'm not dying — at least, for now.
BETTY BLACKWOOD
That's good news ah strange illness for more than a year. In this case, ignorance is not bliss; it's frightening.
I have a disease that has recently been diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CIFDS). Now that there is finally a name for this foe, I can start fighting it. But I'm scared.
Jennifer Barlow columnist munion@kagan.com
So many strange emotions and thoughts have been tossing through my head since my diagnosis.
At first, I simply was relieved that it wasn't anything terminal and that it wasn't all in my head. However, lately I've been struggling to keep that thankful frame of mind.
You wouldn't be able to tell by my face, but CFIDS is quite debilitating. It is not depression or mere laziness; in fact, I wish it were that simple. My symptoms include unrelenting fatigue, memory impairment, confusion, muscle and joint pain, migraine headaches and constant nausea. It's kind of like having a bad flu that won't go away plus a constant need for sleep that never is refreshing. The severity of the symptoms wax and wane with time. Doctors aren't positive about the cause of CFIDS and aren't positive about a cure.
I'm usually a type-A, bubbly person. My career goal is to be a foreign correspondent and travel everywhere I can. However, I rarely make it to class or work anymore. I praise myself for getting out of bed and having enough stamina to clean my room or read a book. Simply walking down the hall can be a painful experience. This is the most frustrating situation I've ever experienced.
My mom urged me to join a support group for people with CFIDS. Unfortunately, Lawrence does not have one, so I turned to online groups. I've been getting e-mail from people all across the United States telling me about their battles with CFIDS. Although all of the people seem to have the best intentions, I almost don't want to listen because their stories are so disturbing for me.
Many of the testimonies I've read from other CFIDS sufferers mention years of pain and fatigue that eventually cause them to leave school and quit their jobs. I've seen several CFIDS Web sites that give information on how to receive government-funded disability benefits because so many with this illness cannot work. Biographies of those on an Internet chat site state what their occupation was before their illness and what it is. Now one girl wrote about the terrible bedsores she had from being bedridden for years. See why I'm scared?
However, there is a silver lining. First of all, I'm very stubborn. I used to view that as a potential character flaw, but I think it will be useful when dealing with this challenge. Also, I'm young and I was diagnosed relatively early, so I have a better chance of fighting this off.
Already, I've learned a lot from being sick.
First of all, sympathetic friends and family are, by far, the most comforting and vital aspect of dealing with CFIDS. (You all know who you are! Thanks for listening to me complain, laugh and cry. Love you!)
Also, I used to judge myself solely on the things I did and not who I was. I'm a human being; therefore, I am not perfect and I am not invincible. Life has funny (and not-so-funny) ways of reminding me.
CFIDS may rearrange my life, but it will not kill me and, although everything is a little upside down, I know one thing for sure — I will not go gently into that good night.

Plea bargain not right for drunk-driving officer
Micah Stegall, 24, probably was relieved when he pled guilty to two misdemeanors instead a felony last week. Stegall was arrested for drunken driving on his way home from a downtown bar. And now he has to deal with court costs, community service, auto insurance, the bicyclist he hit while driving drunk and a suspension from his job. In any other case I would restrain from judging Stegall, but he happens to be a Lawrence police officer, and I happen to have no sympathy.
We expect cops not to make stupid decisions. The nature of policing is based on upholding the law, keeping the peace, etc. And to do such things requires a person of rigid discipline, not a boozehound. I know cops are only human, but when I tell a cop that I'm only human, I still get a speeding ticket. People break the law every minute of the day, yet cops have to have no tolerance for lawbreakers.
Jenny Oakson columnist opinion on kansan.com

or vodka. Because they are the punishers of society, police officers, when arrested, should be punished to the extent of the law.
can be punished to the extent of the law. Stegall picked door No. 3 and now faces two days to six months in jail and 100 hours of community service. I'll admit, that much community service sounds rough. Imagine picking up cigarette butts and shoes off the side of the highway for 100 hours. However, two days in jail is not enough. In a student's life, two days in jail is called spring break. A drunk-driving officer of the law should be in the slammer long enough to grow some stubble.
And, yes, Stegall still is an officer of the law. A felony mandates automatic expulsion from the police force in Lawrence, but
I just want Micah Stegall to realize that when he decided to become a cop, he decided to become a role model and say goodbye to the hooch. I know cops don't seem like role models for us. KU students are too old and tainted to appreciate a group that is constantly taking their beer and weed away. But the kids love 'em.
It's not that I want to see this man's life ruined, I want to see a little consistency. No one made Stegal become a police officer. God knows I could never do it — directing traffic outside in February, hours of paperwork and having to wear those silly hats (all right, I totally would look good in one of those hats, but I still couldn't do the other stuff).
Plea bargains happen all the time, but this makes me wonder if Stegall isn't getting special treatment. With all the local media attention this case has attracted, I would think the city prosecutor would want to make an example out of Stegall, especially for drunk driving, a crime that, when committed by students, brings out all sorts of frenzied parents and politicians. Where's the zero tolerance now? I guess you have to seriously injure someone before the community decides your life is ruined for one spurt of irresponsibility.
Stegall is actually guilty of more than just plain battery. If I were Steve Mitchell, the bicyclist Stegall hit with his Jeep, I wouldn't be content with this plea. And all Rick James fans know that assault with a weapon or an object, such as a car, is aggravated battery — a felony.

two misdemeanors, driving under the influence and battery just puts him in the proverbial doghouse with his captain. He'll probably have to ride in the backseat of the patrol car. "No more shotgun for you!"

Watching football not a waste of time
I commend Brad Hallier's article "No excuses for Jayhawk football fans, empty stands." As a converted football fan, due to my husband's love for the game, I found that sitting in the bleachers on a gorgeous day to support my team and school was not time wasted. The Jayhawks are on a roll and only look to be that much better come next season. I can almost guarantee that next year the stands will look more full. Fair-weather fans will make
their presence.
KU football obviously has faith in its program or it wouldn't have renovated the stadium and added a new MegaVision board. I believe that if football was given half the support that basketball receives, our boys would play their hearts for us. Take for example a football player I have in one of my classes. Each time he has played I commend him on a job well done and, boy, does his face light up! I mean, come on, nobody wants to lose.
Sure I love basketball and attend those games as well, but basketball is not the only
sport at KU. If a seven-month pregnant woman, who has to drive 30 minutes to get to Lawrence, has enough energy to sit through an entire football game, eat dinner, and then sit through an entire basketball game on hard benches with no back support, I think anyone can. Go KU!

Possible evidence of crime on Flight 990 voice recorder
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board questioned yesterday whether his agency would continue leading the investigation of the crash of EgyptAir Flight 990, raising the specter that the plane was downed by a criminal act.
Jim Hall also met with FBI Director Louis J. Freeh to discuss having the law enforcement agency take charge of the investigation after the plane's cockpit voice recorder taped one of the crew members making a questionable statement.
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, added: "There is no desire for the FBI to rush into this." The decision after yesterday's meeting between Hall and Freed was to wait and see what else can be drawn from the tape recording.
A federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press that the question of whether to open a criminal investigation was raised because "one view is that a crew member is heard on the cockpit tape to say something religious in nature."
CBS News reported, meanwhile,
that the system recorded what
Hall told a news conference he was confident the jetliner's advanced flight data recorder would provide information needed to resolve questions about the Oct. 31 crash, which killed all 217 aboard.
sounded like the cockpit door opening and a voice saying something to the effect of "what's going on?"
Hall said work on the plane's other black box, the cockpit voice recorder, was being slowed because of the need to translate the recorded conversations to English from the pilots' native Arabic.
That prompted him to say: "We are concentrating our efforts on determining from the evidence, including the cockpit voice recorder, whether or not this investigation is to remain under the leadership of the National Transportation Safety Board."
He acknowledged there have been many rumors, theories and stories circulating about whether the crash was caused by mechanical failure or a criminal act such as a hijacking, crew fight or pilot suicide.
The board's charter says that it will be the primary investigative authority for transportation accidents until there is evidence of a crime.
Island nations bracing for Hurricane Lenny
The Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Hurricane Lenny lost some strength Monday but threatened Haiti and the Dominican Republic — hilly, rain-saturated lands where the expected heavy downpours could cause dangerous flooding.
The southern coasts of the two countries that share the island of Hispaniola were under a hurricane watch, as were Puerto Rico and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. Lenny passed south of Jamaica on Monday and a hurricane watch there was canceled.
Noting the hurricane's unusual eastbound route, the U.S. National Weather Service warned, "Do not be fooled. This is a potentially very serious situation."
Meteorologist Ronnie Semexant of Haiti's weather bureau said, "The land is
already saturated from heavy rains, meaning that the slightest rain will cause flooding. If the warnings are not heeded, it means certain death for many."
Benny was moving east near 15 mph Monday afternoon, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Its maximum sustained winds went down from 100 mph to 85 mph and extended 30 miles from the center with tropical storm winds another 145 miles.
Lenny's appearance so late in the hurricane season revived memories of Tropical Storm Gordon, which struck in November 1994 and killed at least 1,000 people in Haiti's southern provinces.
Authorities in the Dominican Republic urged residents living near rivers or in low-lying areas to evacuate and warned those who refused would be forcibly moved.

WAITING OUT THE REDSHIRT SEASON
"It was horrible because they went away every weekend," she said. "I didn't get to go on the trips. I had to stay home alone."
Continued from page 1B
Doug Vance, assistant athletics director, said the decision whether to take a redshirt athlete to road games rested with the coach.
"There's no set rule," he said. "The coach has prerogative over the decision."
perforative over the anterior wall. In the end Hensley left the team acutely aware of the sacrifice needed to sit out a year of athletic competition.
"It made me appreciate other athletes who red shirt," she said. "It's not an easy thing to do."
Why do some sports utilize the redshirt more than others?
A sea of red
Janelle Martin, assistant athletics director at the University, said that in some sports, such as football, the practice was common and not always the athlete's decision.
"In football, it's pretty much mandatory," she said. "It's more of a coach's decision. Their philosophy is that it's freshman year, and they want to make sure the students are in the weight room maturing an extra year and putting on some weight."

lose his redshirt and a year of eligibility.
"Coach told me before the Iowa State game that, If Jay got hurt, I wasn't going to play," he said.
For the most part Weatherbie said being a redshirt was something a first-year football player had to deal with.
"There are a few exceptions for really great athletes, but I'd say about 90 percent of freshmen redshirt," he said.
Martin also said that being a redshirt helped student-athletes get used to college life and academics. She said that students who planned to take five years to complete their degrees might as well play in their fifth years.
"They will be stronger and smarter; plus they won't have to take as many hours and can concentrate on playing," she said. "That way they could enjoy their last season more."
However, some coaches might care less how much a student-athlete learns and more about helping the team.
An even playing field?
helping the team.
Mark Francis, coach of the Kansas women's soccer team, said he was sure there were coaches who did not give athletes a choice. He said that with his team, he made sure that the decision to be a redshirt was mutual.
"There are certain situations where the kids aren't strong enough, and you want to get them in the weight room to try to develop them physically," he said. "As long as the coach is doing it for the right reasons, and it's in the athlete's

best interest, it's OK."
Francis said that the possibility of being a red-shirt should be brought up by the coach during recruitment, so that athletes would know what they were getting into.
Jane Jankowski, an NCAA representative; said the rules regarding eligibility ensured competitive and recruiting equity.
Athletes who are are going to be redshirts but object have few alternatives. Transferring means losing a year of eligibility.
"I believe there is equity because everyone plays by the same set of rules," she said.
But Francis said he didn't know how well coaches kept the situations equal.
"When you're 18 years old, you're not looking four years down the road," he said. "You're looking for tomorrow. It's tough."
If Carey had to give another basketball player advice on whether to be a redshirt, he would say:
"Some people don't need to. Eric (Chenowith) didn't need to. It just depends on the level of competition they faced in high school and how strong they are. I'd tell them it's hard, but it can benefit you tenfold."

Kansas takes on Latvia
Team will offer chance to hone Javhawks' edge
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan writerswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team has one more chance to smooth the rough edges before the regular season in its final exhibition game against Latvia's Club
Riga at 7:05 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks' top priority is improving their defense. Last Tuesday against Club Gija Marijampole, No. 19 Kansas allowed 67 points, including 27 from the free-throw line.
"We worked hard; we just didn't work smart," Coach Marian Washington said. "We were getting beat in the post and found ourselves reaching. We need to work help each other, so we aren't in the position to foul. We need to move our feet."
Junior guard Jennifer Jackson said that the defensive breakdowns resulted from problems with communication that could be improved with stronger chemistry.
Washington found the issue important enough to hold a preseason team meeting to discuss the Club Gija game, which normally is not done after exhibition games.
"We had things we wanted to discuss and issues we wanted to raise before they became a problem," Jackson said. "We just need to feel each other out as a team. The chemistry was not there last week. We have seen a lot better chemistry in practice than we did last week."
Washington used all of her players

ALL PRACTICE, NO GLORY Athletes who take a redshirt do their time riding the pine

was ready to come off the bench in the clutch. Some seven-footer named Eric Chenowith was going to be Carev's roommate.
eff Carey came to the University of Kansas in 1997 knowing all about the basketball team he was about to join.
Raef LaFrentz, a two-time All-American, was a senior. Lester Earl had just transferred from Louisiana State. T.J. Pugh, a solid defender.
Carey was a redshirt his freshman year. Being a red shirt is common in college athletics. Athletes come in, practice with the team, hit the weights and acclimate to college life.
That left Carey fifth on the depth chart at power forward and near the end of the bench at game time.
But they can't play.
If they set foot into a formal athletic contest, even for one fraction of a second, they burn up a year of eligibility.
The funny thing is, no NCAA rules exist regarding redshirt athletics. The term started as slang. Max Falkenstien, longtime Kansas broadcaster, said he thought the term originated when freshman football players would wear red jerseys during practice to distinguish themselves from the rest of the team.
The NCAA doesn't even mention "redshirt" in its bible of guidelines. But
being a redshirt has become almost routine in football, and it is not uncommon on many college teams. Some players say it gives them an edge. Others say it edges them out.
NCAA athletes have five years to complete four years of eligibility. If athletes get hurt, they can apply for extensions to their eligibility, or what the NCAA calls a "hardship." They can sit out a year because of an injury only if it occurs when the athlete has competed in no more than two contests, or 20 percent of their team's games that year, whichever is higher.
Why is redshirting such a common practice? Why are thousands of athletes practicing with their teams, working hard to gain a spot when they still can't play? In the end is it often the coaches call?
play? In the end is it often the coaches call?
Reaping the benefits
Carey redshirted on the advice of Coach Roy Williams, so he could learn and improve. He practiced with the team, learned from LaFrentz and others, but he was a cheerleader dur-
ing games.
"It was really hard because I want ed to get in and play," he said.
"The urge was always there.
The hardest thing was going through practice knowing I wouldn't be able to play."
Falkenstien said that Carey's situation was rare because, unlike football, red shirts were not com-
mon in basketball.
"In basketball," he explained. "You've got a limited number of guys to work with."
This season Carey is expected to be a productive member of the team in his second year. He missed the first exhibition game because of an ankle sprain and scored four points in eight minutes during Saturday's 119-44 exhibition win against the Geelong Supercats.
Not always a happy ending
But not every redshirt experience is a positive one. Katie Hensley, former member of the Kansas soccer team, was a redshirt her sophomore year after spending her freshman year on the field.
Hensley made the decision to be a redshirt after Dan Magner, former coach of the soccer team, decided he was going to cut her.
"My first coach completely destroyed my confidence," she said. "He told me I was in way over my head trying to play at the Division I level. But I knew I could work hard and get better. I wanted to prove that I was better than what he had seen."
So with considerable pressure from her coach, Hensley decided to be a redshirt. She felt it would be the best way for her to get better for the next season.
"It was hard because I knew what it was like to be more of a part of the team," she said. "I love the sport. It's my life."
Hensley said one of the hardest things she had to deal with was that her three roommates were on the team and traveled to road games, something she could not do.

'Hawks, Cyclones are clones
Bv Michael Riga
Kansan sportswriter
According to Kansas coach Terry Allen, the Jayhawks can look at themselves in the mirror and see the Iowa State Cyclones.
"It's fair to say we've had very similar seasons," Allen said yesterday during his weekly teleconference. "I've seen Iowa State on tape, and I think they've made vast improvements over a year ago — and I think we've made improvements over a year ago."
both teams are struggling to stay afloat, at least record-wise, in the Big 12 Conference. Heading into Saturday's game, Kansas is 4-7 and 2-5 in the Big 12, while the Cyclones are at 4-6 and 1-6.
Despite the improvements,
According to Allen, what the Jayhawks need to do to make a giant leap in the conference standings is get more all-around talent. The Jayhawks and their opponents this weekend have enough heart and desire to compete in the Big 12. Allen said.
"Teams one through 12, the competition is very good in this league," Allen said. "It's hard to make a quantum leap in just a year or two."
"Both teams are playing hard with what they have," Allen said. "But we just need to get better athletes. We've just run out of good players. It's not an excuse."
"I think there's some close parallels between both programs," said Iowa State coach Dan McCarney, who also said that Saturday's winner will have more recruiting
And a lack of talent has led to what Allen said are very similar seasons for both the Cyclones and Jayhawks.

Preseason games exhibited talent of team's freshmen
This must be how it feels to be a Kansas State football fan.
So what, if anything, have we learned about our favorite team from the 17- and 75-point blowouts against the California All-Stars and the Geelong Supercats respectively?
These games are fun and provide a wealth of highlight-reel material, but they really don't reveal much about the true nature of your team — which K-State fans found out this weekend against Nebraska.
Of course, the cupcakes our basketball team recently devoured are just exhibition appetizers as opposed to the regular-season ragamuffins the Wildcat football team habitually preys upon.
First and foremost the freshmen are good.
Gooden nearly had a triple-double against the All-Stars and is averaging 12.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 18.5 minutes per game.
Nick Collison, Drew Gooden and Kirk Hinrich each scored in double-digits in both games and made their presence felt in other ways as well.
Derek
Prater
sports columnist
sports@kansas.com
Collison's turn-around baseline jumper is reminiscent of a recent 'Hawk who is putting up nice numbers in the NBA for the Denver Nuggets — Raef LaFrentz. Collison also looks strong on the boards, averaging 8.5 a game.
Hinrich has shown more strength and athleticism than expected, and demonstrated good discipline with the ball in some pretty ragged games. His assists-to-turnover ratio is 2.25 to 1.
The freshmen looked confident, poised and intelligent. Their play will demand that they get playing time, which brings us to another point made clear in the exhibition games — we have more quality players than minutes to go around.
Eleven 'Hawks played at least 12 minutes in Saturday's game, and Roy Williams often made wholesale lineup changes.
You can expect this to change when the regular season gets under way. There are 200 minutes available for Williams to play with in a regulation game. With 11 guys fighting for time, that's an average of just more than 18 minutes per player.
Our top performers will need closer to 30 minutes to establish rhythm and chemistry.
Who will get the big minutes still is up in the air.
Nick Bradford led all players in minutes with 26 against the California All-Stars, but he only played 17 against the Sunercats.
Where the minutes will go should become clear as we play teams good enough to bring the ball up the floor against our press forcing us into a half-court game, which is not what we saw in the exhibition games.
The California All-Stars made me wonder exactly what the definition of star is, and the Supercats just Supersucked.
Williams referred to the games as glorified practices, but they probably weren't as productive as practices. The 'Hawks rarely got to work on half-court offense or defense, and the intensity level from the competition just wasn't there.
It won't be long, however, before we get a good idea of just how good this team is. With a tough field at the Nov. 25-27 Great Alaska Shootout and three December games against teams from the best basketball conference in the country, the Big Ten, the 'Hawks will be battle-tested early on.
If they make it undefeated through the end of December, Roy's Boys will be the top-ranked team in the country.
And even if they're not, we'll know what they're made of, because Williams knows that a tough schedule builds tough teams.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This situation is getting a little too familiar for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Chiefs are frustrated with close road losses
They've played five road games this season. Four times, they've spent the following Monday rehashing a close loss.
"Right now, everybody's feeling bad because we've had two straight losses on the road," said wide receiver Joe Horn, who caught a 50-yard touchdown pass from Elvis Grbac in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
C
What makes the defeats especially tough for the Chiefs (5-4) to take is how close they've come to winning — or at least to forcing overtime.
Their other losses came by scores of 20-17 at Chicago, 21-14 at San Diego and 25-17 at Indianapolis. They came within 13 yards of tying Sunday's game before Tampa Bay linebacker Hardy Nickerson picked off Grbc's pass in the end zone with 17 seconds left.

against Club Gija, and the Jayhawks saw some combinations with which they were not familiar.
Against Club Riga, Washington will move closer to finding the starting lineup for the regular-season opener Saturday at Houston.
Junior forward Jaclyn Johnson will start at center in place of sophomore Kristin Geoffroy, who scored no points and grabbed four rebounds in 14 minutes as a starter against Club Gija.
Senior guard Suzi Raymatt missed practice Monday because of an intestinal flu, and if she is unable to play tonight, junior forward Brooke Reves will start.
"We have a lot of options in our starting lineup." Reves said. "We
have a lot deeper squad that we have in the past. The starting lineup isn't set in stone, and we have a lot of people that we can rotate in. It doesn't matter which group starts because we have a lot of strong people that can get us started."
Kansas also will have a chance to get a better look at the triple-post offense against Club Riga's man defense.
The Jayhawks had been practicing their new offense against a man defense and had trouble running the triple post against Club Gija's zone defense.
"We should have a chance for a new look and a chance to try some of our offensive options," Washington said. "If we stay patient, we should get a lot of good looks. It will be a good tuneup for Houston."
Kansas is the last in Club Riga's seven-city tour, during which they have won only two games.
In its first game against Minnesota, Club Riga won 68-64 before losing to Creighton 89-67, Missouri 93-60, Southwest Mississippi State 78-58 and Wichita State 61-58. Club Riga beat Washburn last night 70-64.
Reves said she expected the team to look much better against Club Riga than it did in its previous exhibition.
"The they play man, so our offense will be more effective because we have worked hard on our man offense," Reves said. "We have all of the factors in the equation, and now we just need to come together. This will give us a better opportunity to run what we have been working on and click as a team."

Three point guards compete for starting spot in first game

Kansan sportswriter
By Matt Tait
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams will have the luxury of a three-headed monster on his squad this season. However, not one of them stands taller than 6-foot-4.
Sophomores Jeff Boschse and Marlon London along with freshman Kirk Hinrich will be the floor generals this year for the Jayhawks, entrusted with handling the point-guard duties.
Boschee, last year's starter as a freshman, handled the task for most of the season and was occasionally replaced by Ryan Robertson. This year, however, things are different, and Boschee knows it.
“This year, Coach has so many options at the point,” Boschee said. “Three people can play one spot, but it’s like that everywhere. Everyone’s got to be on when we’re out there, or we won’t play.”
Thus far, Williams has下载played who will be in the starting lineup, and who won't. He has always said that he wants the players to decide who should be on the floor.
in the Jayhawks' season opener against Fairfield at 7 p.m. Friday in Allen Fieldhouse, Boschee, London and Hinrich will get a first-hand
In Saturday's 119-44 exhibition destruction of the Geelong Supercats, Boschee, London and Hinrich all played point guard.
look at just who that will be — at point guard anyway.
In fact, during some stretches two of the three played together, one at point guard and the other at off guard.
Williams said he played Bosche and Hinrich together, or London and Hinrich together, because he anticipated those situations coming up during the season.
"I did that because there's going to be times this year that they will play together." Williams said. "Kirk, Jeff and Marlon, all three, will to have to learn both of those spots, because there will be times when they will be in the game together."
For Boschee, that's just fine, as long as he gets in the game.
"If Kirk and I, or Marlon and I are on the floor, it doesn't matter," Boschee said. "We can all shoot the ball and we should all get our minutes."
Those minutes have come sparingly during Kansas' exhibition season because Williams chose to substitute five players at a time, therefore spreading the minutes and giving each player a chance to prove himself.
Saturday, Bosche played a teamhigh 23 minutes and only took five

shots, but he dished out a team high nine assists. His defensive play was stronger, and he made smarter decisions with the basketball on offense, Williams said.
"That was probably the first game in his life that he didn't score," Williams said. "Yet he had nine assists and got us into what we wanted to do defensively."
Hinrich, who started the game at point, played 17 minutes, made all five of his shots, scored 13 points and tallied five assists. Hinrich played well, Williams said, pushing the tempo while playing under control and coming away with three steals in Kansas' tenacious full-court press.
As for London, most of his seven assists came from the off-guard position, as only four or five of his 20 minutes were spent at point guard. London chipped in 12 points and also had three steals.
With all three performing so well during their stints in the game, will the competition become heated? Bosche doesn't think so.
"It's great going against him everyday in practice," Boschee said of Hinrich. "Our games are a little bit alike, we both go 100 percent."

Randall upbeat about new Kansas recruits
Bv Chris Wristen
Kansan sportswriter
Randall excited about their arrival.
Although it struggled to a 14-40 record last year, the Kansas baseball team has been rebuilding. In an attempt to upgrade the team, the Jayhawks signed two recruits yesterdays.
Daniel Stucky and Tom Gorzelanny signed letters-of-intent to play for the Jayhawks next year. Both have accumulated impressive resumes, which has coach Bobby
Raman excavate a left-handed pitcher at Marist High School in Chicago. He was an honorable mention All-Area selection as a junior last year, he and holds freshman and sophomore strikeout records at Marist.
"In Tom, we will get an impressive left-handed pitcher and that is something that will benefit this staff greatly," Randall said.
Baseball
Stucky, from Spokane, Wash., has been an all-around success. Stucky batted .470 last year while belting
four homers and driving in 23 runs Although normally a shortstop, he also pitched and posted a 3-0 record, struck out 15 and had a 2.57 ERA. Stucky was named to the Team One National Showcase in Florida, as well as to the Seattle Mariners Area
Code Games and is an All-Greater Area First Team selection.
Stucky's talent extended to football and basketball. He is a three-time letterman in those sports. Also, he has earned a 3.98 gradepoint average and is a member of National Honor Society.
"Daniel is a talented student-athlete who will make a fine addition to our ball club," Randall said. "He excels both on the field and in the classroom, and that makes him a very attractive prospect."

Hokies are second in college standings
Virginia Tech is No. 2 and couldn't be happier — at least for now.
The Associated Press
The Hokies moved into second place in the Bowl Championship Series standings on Monday, behind Florida State and ahead of up-and-coming Nebraska.
A week ago, Tennessee pulled in front of Virginia Tech and into second place even though the Hokies were undefeated, and the Volunteers had one loss. Hokie fans were hopping mad about it, too.
But Arkansas knocked off the Vols 28-24 on Saturday, and now Virginia Tech (9-0) is second behind Florida State (10-0) in the weekly standings.
The final BCS standings, on Dec 5, will determine which teams play in college football's designated national title game — the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4. The standings are based on a formula that considers The Associated Press media poll and the USA
Today/ESPN coaches' poll, eight computer rankings, strength-ofschedule and losses.
Florida State and Virginia Tech are 1-2 in both polls.
Nebraska (9.1) jumped from sixth to third place with its 41-15 win against Kansas State and trails the Hokies by 2.4 points. Florida State leads Virginia Tech by 3.66 points.
Florida (9-1) is in fourth place. 59 points behind Nebraska, followed by Tennessee, Alabama, Wisconsin, Kansas State, Texas and Michigan.
Florida State, which will play at Florida on Saturday in what becomes a title-elimination game, had the same total as last week, 2.64 points — 1 for poll average, 1 for computer rank average, 0.64 for strength-of-schedule, and zero for losses. The Seminoles beat Maryland 49-10 on Saturday.
Virginia Tech, a 43-10 winner against Miami, had 6.30 points — 2 for poll average, 2.14 for computer rank average, 2.16 for strength-of-schedule and zero for losses.
49ers' season falling apart; team has lost five straight
Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Once few and far between, the losses are coming one after another for the San Francisco 49ers.
For the first time since 1980, the 49ers have lost five in a row, and they're staggering toward just their second losing season since then, excluding strike-shortened 1982.
Even the team's shrinking corps of elite players recognize the severity of the decline.
"There are no words to describe this. We're just not very good," safety Tim McDonald said after San Francisco's latest loss, a 24-6
setback against New Orleans on Sunday. "We're letting some things snowball on us. We better stop it, or it could get me pretty embarrassed."
The 49ers, who with one more loss in the next seven games would see their streak of 10-victory seasons end at 16, have a lot of problems, but the one that stands out is the loss of Steve Young to a concussion Sept. 27. He hasn't played since and
might not ever play again.
S
Steve Stenstrom and Jeff Garcia have gone 1-5 starting in his place. The offense has failed to score a touchdown in three straight games. The 49ers plan to work out retired Jeff Hostetler on Tuesday to see if he can help salvage the season.
But San Francisco's problems go well beyond the quarterback. The 49ers were left without running back Garrison Hearst this season
because of a serious ankle injury
they also are paying the price from years of bad drafts, salary cap problems, management turnover, free agency flops
and an aging roster.
and an aging roster.
General manager Bill Walsh returned as the team's general manager in January and had to lop off $28 million from this year's player payroll to get the team in compliance with the salary cap. That meant letting go or trading such players as Merton Hanks and Kevin Gogan, both former Pro Bowl selections.

Soldier of God continues battle from behind bars
Continued from page 1A
years have seen the Legislature throw up several legal hurdles. Tiller seems to have cleared them with minimal trouble.
In its 1998 session, the Legislature approved a ban on abortions after the 22nd week of pregnancy, provided medical tests showed the fetus could live outside of the mother's body. It allowed an exception if carrying a pregnancy to term would permanently or irreparably damage a major bodily function of the mother.
Later in the same session, lawmakers approved a ban on partial-birth abortions, but with an exception for preserving a major physical or mental function of the mother.
Before the laws were passed, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported no partialbirth procedures. After July 1,1997
— when the laws went into effect
58 partial-birth abortions were reported, all citing the mental health provision. All of those are
thought to have taken place at Tiller's clinic. Statistics collected by KDHE cannot disclose the names of the clinics by law.
In August, a 14-year-old ward of the state of Arizona who said she was raped was cleared to travel to Kansas for an abortion. She was 24 weeks into the pregnancy, just past the deadline for an abortion in Arizona.
Lawmakers argue that Tiller has found a loophole in the laws that the mental health exception allows him to perform partial-birth abortions, even past the 22nd-week barrier
"The law is toothless," said Rep. Tom Klein, D-Wichita and the ranking Democrat on the Kansas House Federal and State Affairs committee, which handles abortion legislation. "We really opened it up."
The incident attracted widespread national attention. Operation Rescue's return to Wichita in June, however, garnered nowhere near the recognition the group received in 1991.
"No one likes fighting over an issue that's so emotional. But where we've tried to make headway is on something for which we think there is a public consensus."
Rep. Tony Powell, R-Wichita and one of the post-viability law's authors,
Tony Powell Republican Representative from Wichita
said what's happened is directly contrary to the legislation's intent.
"We've virtually allowed partial-birth abortion on demand," he said. "it's become the procedure of choice."
Attorney General Carla Stovall has repeatedly declined to prosecute Tiller and has said that no evidence exists proving he has violated the laws as they stand.
But when the Legislature convenes in January, Powell said, strengthening the law likely will come up again.
"It's an issue you'll continue to see on a frequent basis," he said. "It's fatiguing. No one likes fighting over an issue that's so emotional. But where we've tried to make headway is on something for which we think
Will history sustain itself?
"In many ways, it's not a reputation for intolerance so much as a reputation for not being very thoughtful," she said. "If they gave states IQs, most people would see Kansas as somewhere in the 60s."
Kansas always has played the national role of radicalist hotbed, said Angel Kwolek-Folland, associate professor of history.
She said Kansas has been at the center of debates about free speech and church vs. state.
there is a public consensus."
History and reputations aside, whether the passion in the anti-abortion movement can sustain
itself in Kansas is unclear.
Powell said divisions between conservatives have left anti-abortionists weaker. Klein agreed, noting that the different outlooks caused the groups to vote against each other.
Margie Kelly, communications director for the New York-based Center for Reproductive Law and Policy, said anti-abortion activists may be less numerous in front of Kansas clinics, but still had a political voice. She cited the recent U.S. Senate vote to ban partial-birth abortions.
"They've evolved," she said. "Like all movements, they've changed their tactics."
David Gittrich, executive director of Kansans For Life, the state's largest anti-abortion organization, denied his movement had lost any momentum. People who opposed abortion, he said, just aren't active enough.

& Action News, an anti-abortion newspaper. She crochets camouflage-pattern baby booties and sends them to her friends' newborn children. She even recently sent out her Christmas letter, in which her spirit sounds far from exhausted.
In fact, she's as fervent and defiant as ever. Her only regret?
"I probably should have tried harder not to let them take me captive," she said.
But in her heart, she doesn't feel like a prisoner of war. She's still a soldier. She may not be free, but she's far from broken.
"Babies are innocent. Abortionists are murders," she said. "No government can change reality. It's not wrong to stop murder, no matter what it takes to do so."

Coach under fire Swimming and diving coach Gary Kempf faces complaints from athletes parents
(USPS 650-640)
Swimming and diving coach Gary Kempf faces complaints from athletes, parents
By Emily Hughey
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
She was just 18 years old. Sitting in a group with the rest of the freshman swimmers, Tracey McCallley listened as the upperclassman and team captains told her about her new coach.
"I thought it was a little strange when the senior captains told us as freshmen, 'You're not going to get along with Gary. If you have a confrontation with him, just agree because you can it win.'" McCalley said.
The May 1998 graduate quit the Kansas swimming team as a junior, leaving behind a scholarship and her year of NCAA eligibility. McCailley hasn't been the only one. An exodus of nearly 40 swimmers and 10 assistant coaches has left Robinson Natatorium during the last five years. The athletes leave before their eligibility is complete, and the coaches leave for other coaching jobs or the corporate world. Some swimmers sign with other schools; other swimers stay at Kansas — never to compete again. Although not all who have left it Kempf as their reason for leaving, interviews with former
swimmers and coaches who have left the University, along with their letters of complaint to the chancellor, tell a story about Gary Kempf, swimming and diving coach.
"He made me hate the sport," said McCalley, a nursing student at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. "I lost a huge part of what I loved." To this day, I can't walk onto a pool deck and feel the exhilaration and the love I once felt. There's no way I'll ever get into Robinson pool at KU again. There's no way. Not ever."
Complaints against Kempf
Gary Kempf has been the coach of the women's swimming and diving team for 24 years and the men's coach for 18 years. He has coached 18 Big Eight conference championships, won Big 12 women's coach of the year in 1999, won six conference coach of the year awards, was named NCAA Women's Coach of the Year in 1983 and was inducted into the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame last year. Nevertheless, swimmers, coaches and athletes' parents have called for Kempf's dismissal citing Kempf for psychological abuse, inducing unhealthy eating behavior and
breaking NCAA training rules.
Kemp said he was aware of the complaints against him and that they were being handled within the athletics department. However, as a coach, he was accustomed to the differing opinions of his athletes.
"I don't want it to become a personal thing." Kempf said. "When you coach as many as I've coached, some are going to like it, some never do and we're dealing with a lot of opinion. It's a difficult situation right now because there are a lot of things that have a confidential approach."
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said that he was

doesn't happen, we try to address those issues and when there have been claims that that wasn't the case, we've tried to address those issues."
Tyler Painter
In this, what was to be his senior year, Tyler Painter left the Kansas swimming program in search of a better place to prepare for the 2000 Olympic Trials. Painter, formerly ranked 16th in the world in the 1,500-meter freestyle, three-time NCAA qualifier and three-time All-American, said he couldn't take swimming for Kemft anymore.
Painter, former Kansas distance standout, said he saw Kempf drive athletes to tears on the pool deck and in Kempf's office. Although Painter said he never was directly a victim because he consistently performed well, Kempf's coaching was the predominant reason why he left

"I left because there's a problem at KU." Painter said. "There was no stability in the coaching staff. There was no trust. It was like being in prison. Out of concern for saving my career and my sanity. I had to get out. It wasn't KU; it was the coaching and the direction the program was headed."
Painter now lives and swims at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.

"People would swim bad, and he wouldn't talk to them. We didn’t try hard enough. It wasn’t constructive criticism he gave us. I never once saw him talk to someone after a race critiquing their strokes. He’d question people's heart, and it's not always about that."

KU Alumni Association to lobby state for funds
By Clay McCuistion
Kansan staff writer
The KU Alumni Association's Jayhawks for Higher Education Committee is starting its annual lobbying of Kansas government.
About 150 University of Kansas graduates packed the Adams Alumni Center Saturday afternoon to learn about the requests the Kansas Board of Regents are making to Gov. Bill Graves and the Kansas Legislature. These alumni are now starting to lobby the governor, trying to increase the budget for higher education in the state.
"The Legislature just accepts higher education as sort of a step-child," said Fred Williams, president of the alumni association. "For KU to remain a university of distinction, it takes these funding elements to retain and attract quality professors and educators."
An 8.5 percent salary increase for faculty and unclassified staff. The University's faculty salaries are 88 percent of its peer institutions. The Regents cited that in 1980 the number was 97 percent.
The main legislative requests by the Regents are:
A $1 per credit hour fee increase to help provide funds for library purchases. The Regents also are requesting the Legislature match this increase.
A 3.5 percent increase in other operating expenses.
The faculty of distinction program, designed to create legislative matching funds for private gifts of $500,000 or more to create distinguished or
teaching professorships or other rewards for faculty.
After the governor makes his budget recommendations in January, the alumni's advocacy efforts will shift to the state Legislature.
Williams said he hoped legislators would make the commitment to provide more funds for higher education in the state.
"Leadership has to make it a priority," he said. "We're experiencing great economic times in the state of Kansas, and I think the legislature needs to look at the formula of tax cuts they've made."
In its last session, the legislature promised at 3.5 percent faculty pay increase for college faculty in the state. Gov. Graves' September announcement of a $44.3 million budget cut effective this fiscal year has put such promises in question.
Kim Wilcox, executive director of the Board of Regents, said the state's budget difficulties made the upcoming legislative session uncertain.
"Clearly, the challenge is the budget situation in the state," he said. "We have to stay optimistic. We have very legitimate needs."
This year's Alumni Association lobbying effort is led by project chairmen Fred Williams; Bernard E. Nordling, a 1949 School of Law graduate; and Daniel L. Watkins, a 1975 School of Law graduate. All reside in Lawrence.
"The future is uncertain," he said. "The entire system hasn't been funded."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the University was in an anxious period.

Street clogged near west Lawrence bus stop
By Derek Prater
Neighbors want more KU on Wheels routes
Kansan staff writer
As residential development in Lawrence has spread westward, so have KU students.
Getting those students to campus is causing problems, some Lawrence residents sav.
In order to catch the KU on Wheels bus, some students who live in apartment complexes west of Kasold Drive park along West 22nd street east of Kasold. A bus stops every 30 minutes at West 22nd and Heatherwood Drive.
Residents in the neighborhood say the amount of students parking there clogs the street,blocks mailboxes and creates a dangerous traffic situation.
"I think the biggest problem with it is that it isn't just one or two cars," said Diana Bretz, who lives at 3208 W. 22nd St. "Our street fills up solid."
Bretz said residents of the neighborhood didn't blame students; they blamed
KU on Wheels.
Julie Matchett, another resident of West 22nd, said that because KU on Wheels sold passes to students who lived in apartment complexes west of Kasold, it should pick those students up where they live.
Amber White, a Hutchinson senior who sometimes parks on West 22nd to catch the bus, said it would be nice if the buses stopped at other apartment complexes west of Kasold.
"It's bad for the people who live out west, and I know that the people who live here don't like it," she said.
Holly Krebs, KU on Wheels coordinator, said adding new routes just wasn't realistic.
"It's not financially feasible for us to run an additional bus route out west," she said.
KU on Wheels has tried to help eliminate the parking problem on 22nd, Krebs said.
"No parking" signs are expected to go up on 22nd within the next couple of weeks because of an ordinance passed by the city commission Nov. 9.
Krebs said she attended a meeting of the Traffic Safety Commission to support the neighborhood in its efforts to eliminate parking on the street.
But what Krebs called a nice compromise, Bretz called the only choice available to the residents.
Bretz said that the problem would not go away and that neighbors would prefer not to have the no parking signs.
"The problem is just going to move down the street," she said. "I don't know what the solution is, but I wish KU on Wheels could sit down and come up with one."
Krebs said KU on Wheels created the park-and-ride option and has been promoting it to service students who lived out west.
Park-and-ride passes are an additional $10 on the $110 annual bus pass fee. Students can park at the Lied Center parking lots and catch the bus there.
Krebs said that this year about 450 out of 500 park-and-ride passes were sold. She said it was possible that the program would be expanded in the future.
Whether the no parking and park and ride programs will ease the problems on West 22nd remains to be seen, but Matchett said residents were really just hoping for one thing.
"Id just like for it to quiet down," she said.

Diverse panel debates merits of science in Kansas

Kansan staff writer
It is not about science vs. religion.
It is not about science vs. religion Rather, said Mark Discher, professor of philosophy and religion at Ottawa University, the conflict surrounding the Kansas Board of Education's evolution ruling is about science vs. literal six-day Creationism.
And it is about a philosophical materialism vs. religion.
Last night, a panel of nine debated "The New Science in Kansas Schools" to an audience of about 300 for two hours at the
Scott Hill, board member, said he stood behind the board's decision.
Two Board of Education members, two ministers, two professors and three different organizations' representatives expressed their conflicting views first in a four-minute speech, then in a three-minute response, and finally, in a question-and-answer session.
Kansas Union Ballroom. The panel debated evolution, creationism, the board's decision and even the conflict itself.
"Did the board make the right decision politically, ethically, morally? I'm here tonight to say 'Yes, we did,'" he said.
Hill said his constituents directed and channeled his voting in favor of the decision.
Another board member, Bill Wagnon, disagreed, characterizing the act as embarrassing, unnecessary and reckless.
"Children who go through this system under these standards will be disadvantaged," Wagnon said.
The other panelists' statements ranged from fundamentally religious to textbook scientific — and everywhere in between.

Social Security debate on forum's schedule
Social security reform is on the the U.S. Congress' budget and is also on the budget for today's University Forum at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
Kurt Thurmair, associate professor of public administration, will lecture on "Who Should Budge on Social Security?" at noon.
"I will look at the roots of the Socia Security problem and look at the major options available to fix the problem," Thurmaier said. "Then I'll let everyone point fingers at everybody else."
The topic has been debated in Congress between Democrats and Republicans. Thurmair said he had his own preferences on the topic — but he didn't want to spoil the surprise by telling.
The University Forum is free and open to the University of Kansas and Lawrence communities.
Thumaier has spoken at the ECM in previous years about local government reform in Poland and transportation issues in Lawrence.
There will be no University Forum next week because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Commission approves annexation ordinance
The Lawrence City Commission approved 5-0 an ordinance annexing more than 150 acres bounded by Clinton Parkway, Crossgate Road, West 27th Street and Inversness Drive last night.
The commission also passed eight ordinances that rezone tracts of the annexed land.
The annexation of the land is contingent on the rezoning ordinances which, in turn, are contingent upon approval of preliminary development plans by the commission.
Linda Finger, director of planning,
said preliminary development plans
could take between four and six
months to complete.
In addition to the annexation and rezoning, the commission approved accepting a petition not to protest the formation of special benefit districts for the development project. The special benefit districts create special assessments for public improvements including a drainage channel, traffic signal and street improvements.
The commission also approved a waiver of a 25 percent down payment from developers and a 15-year term on bonds for the public improvements.
The estimated cost of the initial improvements is $2,843,000.
Mike Wildgen, city manager, said the city was taking on a lot of debt, but that it was not likely to increase property taxes substantially.
In other city commission news, the commission approved an ordinance establishing maximum assessments for the improvement of the 800 block off-street parking lot between Rhode Island and New Hampshire streets.
Property owners of lots along Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Sixth and 11th streets will be assessed for the improvements.
Wildgen said the project would be about $300,000 and begin in the spring.
Weather forces county to ban waste burning
The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Department issued a burn ban yesterday.
Fire Marshal Rich Barr said the ban was effective immediately and instated because of dry weather conditions.
Burning of yard or land-clearing waste, campfires and bonfires are prohibited until further notice. Typically during this time of year, residents of the city are allowed to dispose of yard waste by obtaining a permit to burn the materials.
Barr said the fire and medical department was not issuing permits at this time.
Barr said it was too early to tell if the dry weather would restrict the use of fireworks on New Year's Eve, which the county commission approved last week.
This restriction does not include cookin' grills and similar items.
The commission has yet to address use of fireworks inside city limits.

Meteor shower expected to peak tomorrow night
NATION
SPRINGGELD, Mass.,—Amatuer astron omers eagerly scanned the weather forecasts Monday in preparation for what could be a spectacular meteor shower.
This year's Leonid meteor shower is expected to peak early tomorrow morning about 1 a.m. The shower also can be seen tonight.
Although the best watching is forecast for North Africa, the Middle East and Europe, astronomers say sightings also could abound for sky watchers along the East Coast.
The National Weather Service predicted some cloudiness across much of the Northeast on both nights, but skies are likely to be mostly clear from New York City south.
The meteor shower is made up of a hail of dusty, icy rubble thrown off by the Tempel-Tuttle comet as it races around the sun. When the Earth's orbit carries it into the path of these cosmic pellets, they burn up in the atmosphere in a display of shooting stars.
Some astronomers predict that this year's display could send 2,000 or more meteors blazing through the atmosphere every hour in the liveliest display since 1966, when it peaked in a storm of 144,000 per hour. A typical year might yield just 20 per hour.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.—A judge yesterday upheld a law aimed at stopping state funding of family planning agencies affiliated with abortion providers, ruling that Planned Parenthood must give back money it has received this year and can't get any more.
Planned Parenthood to return state funds
The Missouri Legislature acted legally when it imposed the budget restrictions, Cole County Circuit Judge Byron Kinger ruled.
He agreed with the state's arguments that both Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Western Missouri did not qualify for family planning money because they made referrals for or provided abortions.
And he said Planned Parenthood's abortion provider services shared equipment, employee salaries and facilities with its family planning units.
Missouri lawmakers have sought for several years to ban Planned Parenthood from receiving any state funding. Planned Parenthood had countered that no state money was used for that purpose.
A representative for Planned Parenthood Federation of America Inc. refused to comment because its lawyers hadn't reviewed Kinder's decision.
Planned Parenthood said it had expected to serve about 5,300 women across Missouri with the state funding.
Lawrence youth can use artistic and cultural activities to stay away from the influences of gangs and violence, some say.
Speaker to give strategies in gang prevention
wauena Lone Wolf will speak about making peace through the arts from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the University Stidham Union at Haskell Indian Nations University, 155 Indian Avenue.
The Pelathe Center of Lawrence, 1423 Haskell Ave., is one of the sponsors for Lone Wolf's visit. Dave Cade, director of the center, said the speech originally was limited to the first 50 people who signed up to attend.
"We actually got a bigger space because we had such a huge response," Cade said. He also said that organizers expected about 100 people to attend.
Lone Wolf started the National Native-American Gang Prevention Campaign in 1996. Her platform focuses on cultural and arts-based strategies for gang prevention, intervention and recovery.
"We're working with minority populations, and it's a big part of people's lives," Cade said. "It's one of the best preventative measures." Lone Wolf will give a presentation about gangs at 10 a.m. at Lawrence High School.
The speech was provided funds in part by KanArts, a statewide organization focusing on the arts of ethnic minorities. KanArts receives some funds from the Kansas Arts Commission.

Campus projects bask in sun's rays
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The unseasonably warm weather and low amount of precipitation this fall has allowed several University of Kansas departments to get ahead on outdoor construction projects.
Doug Riat, design and construction management associate director, said the weather had helped his department move forward on projects at Twente Hall, the new Hilltop Child Development Center and Murrah Hall.
He said many of the projects required brick or masonry work, which usually required special additives to prevent freezing. Riat
said the department frequently built enclosures to help with the work during late fall, which had not yet been necessary.
"We usually lose four to five days a month to weather," he said. "So far we haven't lost any."
Riat said the extra work week had had helped with a smaller project at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
"The weather has been a pleasant surprise with us," he said. "Instead of waiting and hunting for the one or two days to work, we've been able to work continuously. It's more economical."
Dean Mielke, design and construction management project director, said the lack of precipitation also had allowed employees
Mike Richardson, facilities operations director, said he could not remember a time when the fall weather was so mild.
to work on roofing at Murphy.
"It's extremely unusual, but it's been good for us," he said.
He said that would not normally be possible because the ground usually froze by mid-November.
Specifically, Richardson said his department had been able to work on the new band practice field on West campus. Department workers moved dirt from the new parking lot construction site north of the Kansas Union to West campus.
Workers also had built a loading dock on a new warehouse building on West campus, a task that was planned for the spring when
weather permitted concrete work. In addition to construction work, Richardson said the landscaping crew also had been able to do outside tasks, including trimming and planting trees.
"When there's snow on the ground, they can't work on those types of things," he said.
The department had not needed to put salt on the campus sidewalks, saving time for themselves and the employees who clean the salt that students track into buildings.
"It has been nice," Richardson said. "We've never had to have the air conditioning run this late in November."

University ranked third among Big 12's safest colleges, a survey says
By Michael Terry
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A recent survey conducted by a crime news Web site based out of New York ranked the University of Kansas as the third safest college among Big 12 universities.
The 1999 APBNews.com/ Crimes Against Persons Index College Community Crime Risk Assessment survey ranks the safety of the campuses of four-year colleges and universities across the nation. The survey ranked the University of Kansas 785 out of a total of 1,497 universities.
The higher the number of a university's ranking, the safer the campus is supposed to be.
Oklahoma State University was ranked 1,050 and the University of Oklahoma was 995. Baylor was the lowest ranked Big 12 school with 284.
The survey focused on neighborhoods surrounding universities within a two-mile radius and looked into the risk of violent crimes, defined as murder, rape and robbery.
Each university's risk score was estimated from data about family structure, buildings, migration patterns, economic activity and education, which was obtained from a commercial data broker that updates the information annually. The survey used this data while examining past crime reports.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said he had seen the crime risk survey and agreed that the University had a relatively safe campus. He said the numbers his office lent showed that.
Mailen said that during the last six years, there had been only 12 reports of sexual battery, 19 of rape, nine of robbery and 37 of agravated assault.
"Even though our numbers are low, there are still crimes, especially
rape and sexual battery that do not get reported," he said.
He said that this happened for a variety of reasons, including situations in which the victim knew his or her assailant, but that his office encouraged individuals to come forward and put the incidents behind them.
"It's important to remember this survey mainly concentrates on the neighborhoods surrounding the University, and not the University itself." Mailen said. "This survey is just a prediction that has a lot of different criteria contained in it to get a general overview of the area."
Sgt. George Wheeler of Lawrence Police Department said he agreed with the general premise of the survey that the University and the surrounding area were safe.
"One of the reasons for KU's safety is the presence of two police jurisdictions in the same area." Wheeler said. "KU has a high police presence that is not present at other universities."
Wheeler said he was not surprised by the University of Oklahoma's safety rating.
KU, the university of Oklahoma doesn't sit next to an urban environment, so that helps give the universities a higher rating."
Ashley Rogers, Topeka senior, said she felt safe on campus and was not surprised by the University's safety ranking.
The campus is well-lit, and I don't think there has been a day I've been on campus that I haven't seen a police presence, whether it be a patrol car driving by or an officer on foot," Rogers said.

Evolution debate continues
The complete survey results can be viewed at www.apnnews.com.

Continued from page 1A
Pastor Glenn Kailer said that by removing evolution from science standards, science was being preserved.
"What we were doing is trying to preserve science as pure, what we can touch, see, feel," he said. "That is what science is made of. To deny evolution is only to uphold science."
But Jack Krebs of Kansas Citizens for Science defined science in more abstract terms, comparing it to a courtroom.
"Sometimes something happens, and no one sees it," he said. "Theories and evidence can be presented, and a conclusion can be reached."

Ellen Barber, a representative for Parents for Objective Science and History, said she believed in introducing all of the facts surrounding Earth's origins — evolution and creationism.
"Controversy in science is a good thing," she said. "Let them hear all of the information. Don't censor it."
David Mitchell, member of Students For Inclusive Responsible
Science Testing, said evolution could not be dismissed with the argument that it was just a theory because that argument would exclude most scientific ideas.
Mitchell was convinced the Board would face consequences for the decision.
Student Union Activities organized and sponsor the free debate.
Forums Coordinator Nicole Skalla said evolution was a current issue with University of Kansas
students and the Lawrence community. Skalla said she recruited local speakers instead of national experts to address the questions of the Lawrence community.
Andrew Bruning, Shawnee senior, said the discussion was very thought-provoking.
"It made me realize the importance of an education," he said. "It was very entertaining to watch them go at it."

Academic Web site promotion cut short
The "Beast" was lurking on campus yesterday waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students — with prizes and gifts.
Parked outside Green Hall, the "Beast" was a 34-foot recreation vehicle with a sunset paint job. It was named by four employees of a new Internet site, www.college411.com, in a cross-country promotional campaign.
From his office in San Francisco, co-founder Dylan Vaughn said the Web site, launched in June, was a one-stop destination for students' needs.
"Our motivation was to create a Web site that would help students in their daily lives," he said.
Travis Bowie, Vaughn's partner, said the purpose of the Web site was to cater to the needs and wants of students — whether it's research for a paper or searching for plane tickets.
The promotion was in its western leg of the tour of college campuses and will soon begin the eastern campaign ending with Ohio State University. The promotion at the University of Kansas was cut short when an officer from the KU Public Safety Office said the company did not have the proper permits.
Sgt. Troy Mailen, of the KU Public Safety Office, could not be reached for comment yesterday afternoon.
Dallas Pulliam, who was hired by College411 to help with the campaign, has worked with several other companies in such endeavors. He said it was unfortunate that they had to quit.
"It's unfair because we have a lot of free stuff that students would enjoy," he said. "After all, it's their loss. I'm impressed with this company because they are better organized than the last one I was hired by. They have everything a student is looking for."
Andreas Romero, one of the
four traveling promoters, graduated from Stanford University last May with Bowie and Vaughn. The company has two other recent Stanford graduates and three others from various universities.
"It has the best academic links on the web and puts them in a comprehensive guide that students can access." Romero said
In addition to the academic resources, the site also has a movie review section and a shopping market for food and other items.
Students who visited the promotion received items such as boomerangs, condoms, suckers and CDs. College411 also was distributing posters for the upcoming movie *Man on the Moon* as part of a promotional deal with Universal Studios. Students also could enter to win a snow board or a trip to Hollywood to meet Warren Zide, producer of the movie *American Pie*, plus a $1,000 cash.

Trying children as adults bad solution
Nathaniel Abraham, a 13-year-old Michigan boy and possibly the youngest murder defendant in American history, was on trial for murder last week as an adult. Yesterday, he was convicted of second-degree murder and could serve as much as a life prison sentence with the chance for parole.
Abraham was tried as an adult for a crime he committed at age 11. He was in the sixth grade when police came to his school to arrest him in the shooting death of an 18-year-old man.
After the conviction, there seems to be little doubt that Abraham actually fired the fatal shot. What is at issue is whether any child so young should be tried as an adult — even for a heinous crime such as murder.
Trying Abraham as an adult and sending him to prison to serve an
Michigan juvenile murderer should be punished,but adult treatment will not work
adult sentence for his crime will accomplish nothing except to make Abraham a more efficient criminal. He will learn quickly to emulate those around him to secure his own safety in the brutal world behind bars.
Taking a human life, whether accidentally or intentionally, is a serious offense and should be treated as such. Abraham ought to pay for his actions, but treating him like the adult he is not is no way to serve justice. It has been said that everyone and no one is responsible when a child commits a crime. However, some in this case have called for a sensible middle
ground in assessing this child's responsibility in the death of another human being. Prosecutors have said they will ask for a blended sentence that would put Abraham in a juvenile detention center until age 21, when his sentencing then could be reviewed.
This remedy makes the best of a very bad situation, and the justice system in Michigan would be wise to take this approach. A Michigan assistant county prosecutor said the conviction actually was a victory for both Abraham and the victim's family because Abraham can be rehabilitated and the victim's family will know Abraham is being punished. There is a fine line to walk when punishing and rehabilitating a child, but it is in the best interest of society to give it our best effort.

Telemarketers really can push your buttons
I am not interested. If this statement would compel you to a) pretend you don't understand, b) verbally harass me, or c) call me on a daily basis (preferably if I am either sleeping or eating), might you be a telemarketer.
Perspective
I possess this deep understanding of the psyche of
I possess this deep understanding a typical telemarker mainly because I talk to one of them every 47.9 seconds on average. After all, I am a college student, so naturally I must be in dire need of a $1 million-limit credit card, a long-distance telephone service that allows me to call Egypt for just five cents a minute or a subscription to Elk and Pheasant magazine.

Sarah
Smarsh

opinion@kansan.com
Have you ever been preyed upon by a telemarketer? Studies show that five in five people have been, so here are some signals that you can
look for to assess the situation and obtain the umper hand.
First, you will hear an unrecognizable voice ask for you by first name, in an endearing, we-haven't spoken-in-years tone of voice. Next, even if you assure the caller that "Sarah moved to Texas to start an anti-telmarketing militia," you will hear about interest rates, special offers or now-or-never benefits.
Assuming you foolishly decide to pass up these great deals, here are some suggested responses:
"My mommy won't let me have a credit card. Do you want to talk to my baby sister?"
what? Huh? I can't hear you. It's breaking up." "I'm on my way out the door, but could I get your home phone number? I could call you around dinner time."
I really do try to be polite with telemarketers. I mean, it's their jobs, not necessarily their personalities, that call for them to be pushy. Someone has to do it.
But why does someone have to do it? Because it's a lucrative medium of product solicitation.
Next question: How is it lucrative? Because someone is buying this stuff. Who are these buyers?
Impressionable youth? Mentally deteriorating elders? Nah, I think it's just good, plain ol' folks who find it difficult to say no. For the love of all that is sacred, just say no. Just say no so that magazine publishers and Visa representatives around the globe will have to find something else to do. I just can't take it anymore!
Think of how the world without telemarketing would be. Blood pressures would be lower. Answering machines would record fewer messageless beeps. I could sleep in. Household debt averages would be lower. Then again, judging by the number of pesky calls I receive each week, an alarming number of people would be without jobs.
Regardless of my disgruntled rantings, the fact remains that between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., we are fair game in the diabolical hunt for willing consumers. But if you're as annoyed as I am, there are things you can do about it.
After a flustered call to our area Better Business Bureau, I learned that while there are no laws citizens may cite to end telemarketing calls to their residences, taking a few simple steps might alleviate the problem.
First, don't just yell at or hang up on telemarketers. They undoubtedly will call back, as they're paid to do. Instead, ask for the representative's company name and address. Write a simple letter stating your wish to be removed from the contact list, taking care to keep a copy for yourself. It's after this step that corporations can get into trouble for harassing you.
Another suggestion is to write to Telephone Preference Service, an organization in New York City that controls the phone lines telemarketing firms obtain. (Instructions are on the organization's Web site.) Finally, prevent the calls in the first place by being selective about giving out your home information; for example, maybe you shouldn't fill out a non-committal credit card application in front of Wescoe so you can get a Kit-Kat.
Sheesh. Don't we all have enough to worry about without buying a book of stamps for a plea by mail to be left alone? Oh well, it's all about taking control of your life and all that affects it — such as telemarketers. In that, I am interested.
A journalist's research Can beer make me sexy?
Smarsh is a Kingman sophomore in English.
Anyway, as I was working on my graduation paperwork, dawned on me that I'm preparing to receive a bachelor of science degree. While it doesn't shock me that the initials B.S. are associated with the degree, I was agast. Here I am, about to be presented with a prestigious degree in the sciences, yet I haven't done anything in the sciences since my freshman year.
ALEXANDER ROBERTS
No scientist immediately takes a question and starts experimenting with it. Painstaking research must be done, so I began looking up other studies on the question. While no one had done direct research on the question, there were two similar studies — the Knoboskatich Institute Survey on Beer Consumption and Sexual Patterns (Knoboskatich et. al, 1992) and the classic 1973 Jimmy Buffet inquiry "Why
It dawned on me the other day that I'll soon be getting my degree in journalism. That's certainly something to be proud of, but not as impressive as graduating with an engineering degree. However, it is more impressive than selling your body for crack, if only just a little bit.
Nick
Bartkoski

poning@ kansan.com
To amend this situation, I figured I could strap on my goggles and put on my lab coat to do some hard scientific research. After considering many different questions, I decided to consider the timeless query, Does he make one
Don't We Get Drunk and Screw."
query: Does beer make one more attractive?
So with my research in tow, I boldly set forth to experiment, a soon-to-be recipient of a bachelor of science degree bent on the pursuit of knowledge.
The conclusions of the Buffet study were clear:
Getting drunk leads to screwing.
The Knoboskatich conclusions were more inductive:
Giving alcohol to scientists causes them to vomit on the Bunsen burners. This causes both cool flames and a disgusting mess for the custodial staff.
Bee 1: Hypothesis — This beer, while not making me overwhelmingly attractive, will improve my haircut and add 20 pounds to my perceived bench max.
Conclusion — I began my study with Natural Light, a mistake that caused me to spit the horrific brew 15 feet across the bar onto some sorority girls.
Conclusion — Attempting to walk in elevator shoes is both immediately noticed by members of the opposite sex and incredibly difficult to do while buzzed. Additionally, the stickiness of bar floors never comes off one's face.
I learned to start with good beer and move to bad beer later. The sorority girls did not seem to find me more attractive.
BEER 2: Hypothesis — With my second beer, I should grow an extra five inches. With my now ruggedly handsome 6" frame, I will need to beat off the girls with a stick.
Conclusion — After a certain amount of alcohol, any gift of seductive speech is revoked through slurring. And in answer to all of the women's counter questions: I'm not looking for my friend Rex, I know your dress isn't blue, I'm not talking you into voting for Donald Trump and I don't want a buck.
Conclusion — Having tested said theory on the dance floor, the experimenter now understands why one should never, ever attempt to jostle an inebriated man. In related information, club soda does do an admirable job of removing vomit.
Beer 6: Hypothesis — This could be the breakthrough beer. The one that inevitably draws all of femininity to me.
Beer 5: Hypothesis — This beer will round out my attractiveness by giving me the ability to speak to women beautifully and seduce them in my brilliance.
Beer 3: Hypothesis — After three beers, I will be able to look at a mirror and make my pectorals dance.
Conclusion — The KU Committee for Social Norms arrested me after taking one sip. They are incredibly devoted to discouraging binge drinking and incredibly cruel in their torture of those who break the norms. On a related note, while beer itself won't increase your height, an hour and a half on the rack will.
so what can we conclude from the entire study? Science, like journalism, isn't a pretty thing, especially when either is practiced by me.
Barkoski is a Basehor senior in journalism and English.
Conclusion — The Wheel does, in fact, rigidly enforce the no shirt, no shoes, no service policy.
Beer 4: Hypothesis — Because many attractive men are wonderful dancers, this fourth beer should instill the ability to dance in me.
Feedback
Reaction to sex issue was disappointing
I guess I shouldn't be too shocked at how much negative feedback the Kansan got on its Sex on the Hill section, but I am gravely disappointed.
Sex isn't discussed in an open and honest manner in this society. As much as sex is trivialized and used in advertising, we are still a sexually repressed country. Monday's guest writers, Erin Downing
and Andreleita Schultes, seem to believe that talking about sex is leading to the decline of our society. It is obvious to me that what got us there in the first place is our denial and ignorance of human sexuality and its importance.
Teen pregnancy is, in my opinion, the most dangerous epidemic in our country right now, and it springs from the fact that a large number of our children get an abstinence only sexual education instead
of one that addresses what it really means to be sexual, how to respect your body and how to make choices to take care of your sexual health.
These issues are important to teens and to everyone in the country. People have the right to be fully educated. So amo to the Kansan for treating its readers as adults and respecting the fact that not everyone on this campus represses sexual thoughts and feelings.

Senate votes could amend some rules
Committees to review outdated procedures
By Chris Borniger writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
From time to time, the rules and regulations of Student Senate must be refreshed. Three bills to be considered by Senate committees tonight aim to do just that.
The University Affairs and Student Rights committees will vote on three pieces of legislation to amend rules and regulations. One bill would reform procedures in Senate meetings; another would modify handling of impeachment procedures against a student body president; and another would delete obsolete portions of rules and regulations.
The Student Executive committee revises rules and regulations each summer, but not everything that needs revision gets caught, said J.D. Jenkins, senior holdover senator and a sponsor of two of the bills.
STUDENT SENATE COMMITTEES
"Sometimes things get through the cracks," he
In other business, Senate committees will consider:
■ A bill to allocate $166.55 to the Course Content Subcommittee.
A bill to allocate $3,925 to KU Filmworks.
A resolution to thank Betty Durbin Grimwood,who passed away. She was a former director of the cultural exchange program between international students at the University of Kansas and the town of Burns.
said. "It's just a matter of catching them."
The rule handling impeachment proceedings, for example, makes no sense in its present form. Jenkins said. He said it was written hastily in 1992 after the removal of Darren Fultcher, then-student body president. At the time Senate had no route for impeaching a president. Fultcher eventually was expelled by a Senate vote.
The revised version provides for a committee of five senators and the five standing committee chairpersons to consider impeachment charges.
If something like that should happen again, it's important to have a procedure that works," he said.
The bill to reform voting procedures could affect the end results of some votes. Present pol
icy requires a majority of senators or committee members to be present and vote to pass the legislation. The revised version only would require a simple majority of those voting to do so.
Votes to abstain essentially count as votes against a bill, said Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator and legislation sponsor. He said the revised version would make them true abstentions.
Rules and regulations were written in 1970. They underwent their first major overhaul in 1983.
Muthukrishnan said the legislation was akin to housekeeping.
"It's a slow legislative cycle," he said. "It seems like a good time to clean up shop."
The third bill would eliminate committees that were no longer needed, said Aravind Muthukrishnan, Finance committee chairman and legislation sponsor. One such example is the Social Responsibility committee, formed in 1985 to protest apartheid in South Africa.
At 6 tonight, University Affairs will meet at the Big 12 room; Multicultural Affairs at the International Room; and Graduate Affairs at Alcove D, all in the Kansas Union. At 6:30, Finance will meet at Parlors A, B and C; and Student Rights will meet at the Jayhawk Room in the Union.

Lectures to add context to photo exhibit
By Amanda Kaschube
Kansan staff writer
The Spencer Museum of Art has long been home to works of art by Georgia O'Keefe and Ansel Adams. But for the past month, images depicting death and despair have filled the walls.
"Facing Death: Portraits from Cambodia's Killing Fields" has been on display in the Kress Gallery since Oct. 30 and will be displayed until Dec. 19. Starting today, the 100 gelatin-silver prints will be presented in conjunction with three lectures from a variety of speakers, including a University of Kansas professor and a former Cambodian refugee.
The Photographic Resource Center at Boston University organized the images and sent them on tour. The prints were made from negatives in the archive of what was once a secret prison in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
At 3:30 p.m. today at the gallery, David Smith, professor of sociology, will integrate the photographs in his discussion about issues of genocide in Cambodia
"I will focus in part on the background of genocide and the implications it had in Cambodia," he said. "I'm also going to be bringing in a comparative perspective by talking about other genocides in the 20th century."
Smith, who has done extensive research about the issues, will relate the Cambodian genocide to similar examples in Rwanda and World War II.
Smith's lecture is a part of the KU Perspective series.
At 7 p.m. tomorrow at the auditorium in the art museum, Ambassador Kenneth Quinn, a former U.S. ambassador to Cambodia, will elaborate on the actions taken by the Khmer Rouge, the communist army which committed the atrocities in Cambodia.
"From the Field of Dreams to the Killing Field: Cambodia's Khmer Rouge Nightmare" will highlight Quinn's experiences and findings about the activities that unfolded in the late 1960s.
"They are responsible for approximately 2 million deaths from a country of 7 million people," Quinn said. "The country has gone through unbelievable and unspeakable evil. Their people have suffered far more than they deserve."
Quinn said the ordeals he witnessed had a tremendous impact on his life.
"I helped bring the country back to a state where life is getting better," he said. "It's not perfect, but it's better."
Contributed photo
The lectures will conclude at 7 p.m. on Dec.2 at the auditorium in the museum with "Cambodia: Millennium of Glory," a lecture by Sichan Siv, a senior adviser for the International Republican Institute and a former Cambodian refugee.
Christina Mitchell, education services coordinator for the museum, said Siv would draw from his experiences in a death camp.
"He escaped to Thailand in 1976 after being in a forced labor camp and marked for death twice," she said. "He also served in the Bush administration as the deputy secretary of state for South Asian affairs."
All of the lectures are free.

Exodus of swimmers follow in Kempf's wake
Continued from page 1A
Hard driving coach
Andrew Jacobs, nationally recognized sports psychologist and former Kansas swimming and diving team psychologist, said he respected Kempf and was unaware of anything unethical or inappropriate methods in his treatment of the swimmers.
"I have a lot of respect for Gary," said Jacobs, who worked with the team from 1981-1985. "He knows what he's doing. You're not going to be lasting this long if you don't know what you're doing."
Jacobs, who's worked with the Olympic cycling team, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals, held KU's swimmers accountable for not holding up under the stress of training.
"Gary is a hard working, hard driving coach," Jacobs said. "He expects the best, and kids today like to slide by on things as easily as they can without pushing themselves. Especially in swimming. Everybody has a point where they say, 'I can't do this anymore.' Next to triathlons, swimming is the hardest sport to train for and compete in because it involves more mental tenacity and toughness than any other sport."
Family sport
But swimmers' parents, who, like their kids, have been involved with swimming for more than 10 years, say Kempf crosses the line of what is acceptable coaching.
Lynn Painter, Tyler's father and club coach, said he first encouraged his son to adapt to the training but eventually came to see the training as abusive.
"At first, you think it's just growing pains and you can live through this," Lvnn Painter said. "But I

it," Conway said. "We have no way of knowing why they quit."
"If the school doesn't report that player who didn't come back, we really can't track
Ten former swimmers all cited Kempp's coaching as the central reason for their departure.
Laronica Conway, public information coordinator for the NCAA, said the NCAA could not track the number of Division I athletes who quit before their eligibility was complete.
didn't know the mental submission and the mental abuse was there. Tyler's a pretty tough kid. He does have his sensitive side, but he can pretty much take anything you dish out. I think Tyler stuck it out for as long as he possibly could. I know it's been pretty devastating to Tyler. But I think you live and learn, and he's moved on."
At least two coaches have moved on because they didn't want to deal with Kempf. Don Fearon, diving coach from 1989-1997, is now a computer systems support analyst for Cerner Corporation. Although Fearon said he left on good terms with Kempf, Fearon said he disliked working under Kempf because he controlled everything.
"He wants to run the show. He wants to be the one and only," said Fearon, who coached Michelle Rojohn, Kansas diver and 1996 NCAA champion. "We had a separate office because I couldn't stand being around him. It just reached that point. There were too many things I saw and heard, and I can't really speak for every other coach, but I know a lot of the coaches left for the same reason."
"He was always telling you that you were fat. Constantly it was: 'You need to lose weight.' Constantly. After weigh-in, he'd give a little speech about how we needed to watch what we eat."
Outside of Robinson Center, no one knew the stories about swimmers such as Patrick McLaughlin who woke up in a Watkins Memorial Health Center hospital bed or

afternoon after practice. He never thought he would pass out in the pool during a workout. McLaughlin, 1991 graduate, transferred to Kansas after two years at New Mexico State University. He chose KU ahead of other Division I schools because he preferred the coach. He'd been starving himself for weeks
inch, 167 pounds, Kempf ridiculed him for being too heavy.
Kemp said he did not want to compare his version with another person's but confirmed
"Gary made a complete fool out of me in the team meeting before afternoon practice." McLaughlin, now an English teacher in Turku, Finland, wrote in a letter of protest to the chancellor. "He yelled at me for weighing in at my heaviest ever, 169.7 pounds. I'll never forget how he verbally assaulted me right there in front of my 60 teammates! Although I had seen this many times before already, it's a totally different story when it happens to you. I cannot begin to express the shame I felt. The pain. How I just wanted to run away and cry..."
that there were weight issues on the team during McLaughlin's era.
"I don't want to get caught trying to say people are right or wrong." Kempt said. "Some kids are going to try to get their weight down and in the early '90s, that was a real issue."
Kempf denied ever telling a swimmer to lose weight and said he had not weighed the athletes in a long time.
"It's always been a tough issue, but I've never told anybody they had to do this or they had to do that," Kemp said. "I haven't weighed in kids in years. I haven't touched a weight issue in a long time."
Jenny Fuller, junior and current team captain, confirmed that the team had not weighed in since last year. Even then, she said the weigh-ins were sporadic. She said Kempf had been making some changes in his coaching this year, including eliminating weigh-ins from the routine.
"A lot of people say he's never changed in 20 years," Fuller said. "But he's changing the program a bit this year. It's not as old fashioned. We're trying new stuff."
Although she said the team had not gotten on the scale for a year, a recent swimmer says there still are issues with weight and eating.
Amy Meyer, Tonganoxie junior and distance freestyleter who quit the program this fall, said Kempf still provoked some women to engage in unhealthy eating behaviors despite eliminating weigh-ins.
"He was always telling you that you were fat," said Meyer, who will swim at Drury College in the spring on a full-ride scholarship. "Constantly it was: 'You need to lose weight.' Constantly. After weigh-in, he'd give a little speech about how we needed to watch what we eat. And if you did lose weight, he'd say 'You look really good.' He's so sick. He's so degrading to women. We got no encouragement at all."
Fuller said she was not aware of any eating disorders on the current team.
Chele (Riffel) Troxel, 1985 graduate, underwent two years of therapy for her eating disorder that she said was Kempf-induced. She said he regularly approached her, told her she looked heavy and demanded that she lose weight, sometimes in public.
"He embarrassed me publicly at a swim meet at the University of Texas and told me that the other coaches thought that I looked like I was on steroids. He made me paranoid to walk the pool decks," Troxlel said. "At that meet in Texas, he blamed my weight for the reason I swam so terribly. It was because I was too heavy and that my weight was the reason. He humiliated me, yelling and making me cry in front of coaches and other teams. He told me that until I lost 10 pounds, I would not swim on another relay."
So she tried to lose the 10 pounds. She started with diuretics. When her body grew accustomed to them, her moved onto laxatives, six a day at one point. Finally, when she felt a chest pain running through to her arm, shortness of breath, heart palpitations and a heart rate of 220 in the middle of a training set, she knew she had gone too far.
"He puts his heart and soul into what he does, and I emphasize that I totally respect him. It's his life. It's what he believes in. But a lot of people can't handle it."
Andrew Jacobs Sports psychologist
"I was so scared," said Troxel, a licensed practical nurse pursuing a master's degree at Harper College in Palatine, Ill. "I thought I was going to have a heart attack."
Nevertheless, she said she thought her health was being disregarded by Kempf.
"Gary was not responsive to my health issues," she said. "Any problems you had, you were tougher if you endured them. He made fun of people with ice on their backs after practice or people with shoulder problems. He'd say they were weak and had no heart."
Swimming through the pain
Mike Bonner, who transferred to the swim team at California State University at Bakersfield after his junior year in 1998, said weight issues weren't the only health concerns arising from Kemm's coaching.
"The big thing is people who are hurt or
sick," Bonner said. "He'd try to get them to do stuff they shouldn't. I wish I could remember every little thing he did to people. He would try to manipulate people to swim injured because he needs people to swim fast and to win meets."
McLaughlin, who said his struggle with his weight nearly destroyed his career, also suffered a back problem. During a race at Southern Illinois University in 1990, he dove into the water and felt something snap in his back. While he thought he just pulled a muscle, doctors later confirmed that he had pinched a sciatic nerve. He underwent surgery to remove his fifth lumbar disc the summer before his senior year. McLaughlin said Kempf belittled him for easing into his training as the doctors had instructed.
“When the practices began, Gary let me bike (instead of run) but I sure got the sour looks and comments that made me feel subpar, just because I wasn't at 100 percent that first month or so.” McLaughlin wrote. “I felt scared for good reason. Gary's comments continued to just eat at me. I began to believe that I must be a bad athlete/person because no matter what I did, or how hard I tried, I just couldn't please Gary. He succeeded in making me feel little and unimportant — again. Weak. A loser.”
While some swimmers said they thought Kempf pushed them inappropriately through their injuries, Kempf said that, ultimately, recovery schedules were the swimmers' call but that it was his role as a coach to push his athletes.
"I've got to leave it up to the kids at the Division I competitive level," Kempf said. "You've got to push them, but it's not abusive. I'm not here to make the kids do something they can't do, but there's an expectation from coach to athlete just like there's expectation from an athlete to a coach. I

Pushing through the pain
Although Troxel and McLaughlin said they thought Kempf disregarded their physical wellbeing, Andrew Jacobs, sports psychologist, said a push-through-the-pain mentality was not uncommon for coaches and that he respected Kempf for his hard-driving ways.
"He puts his heart and soul into what he does, and I emphasize that I totally respect him," Jacobs said. "It's his life. It's what he believes in. But a lot of people can't handle it."
"Obviously, if he's doing something that's unprofessional or unethical, something needs to be done," Jacobs said. "But I don't know anything about that."
He said some athletes could train through pain and illness and others couldn't. He said he never recognized Kempf as abusive when he was working with the team. However, Jacobs said he had not seen or spoken with Kempf in years.
Kempf also has been accused of breaking NCAA Division I training rules. Fearon said Kempf required workouts in excess of the NCAA-mandated training hours per week. The NCAA limits the number of training hours per week to 20. according to rule No. 17.1.6.1.
A former swimmer's workout schedule from December 1998, during finals week, reveals Kempf scheduled 21 and a half hours of training. Even though the NCAA states that "daily and weekly hour limitations apply...during final examination periods" in rule No. 17.1.6.3.7, Kempf still scheduled the athletes one and a half hours more than allowed. He also said weight workouts were optional.
However, Kempf denied requiring extra hours of the team and said that, although workouts were scheduled for two and a half hours, the team often got out earlier than the schedule dictated.
Trying to help
To be sure, some swimmers say they appreciate Kempf's coaching style and revere him as a person. Fuller said she knew some swimmers disagreed with Kempf but she got along well with him.
"As long as you're open with him, he'll be open with you," said Fuller, Decatur, Ill., junior. "Like any coach, he'll get mad at me about a performance or something, but it's never been anything severe."
She said she never had a problem with him because she knew he was trying to help her.
"You can't really hold a grudge with a coach because he's just trying to make you better." Fuller said. "The way I look at it is; he's not perfect, he's human. If he gets mad and blows his top off, you're going to have to realize there are people like that everywhere in life."
Former spinner Brant Peoples, a pharmacy student who completed his eligibility last year, said Kempf was often tough on his swimmers but for good reason.
"There's not one person in the world that cares more about the University of Kansas swimming and diving program than Gary Kempf," People said. "People might not think he has the best philosophies, but he cares so much about the sport and about the program. That's why he is so hard on people."
Other swimmers stick with the program but say they're sympathetic with those who left. Adrienne Turner, two-time NCAA qualifier, former team captain, Kansas record holder, three-time All-American and Student Athlete of the Year last year, said she completed her eligibility despite Kemnf.
"I did swim for four years at KU — but I can definitely understand why so many swimmers here at KU end their careers early," Turner said. "Unfortunately, for a long time, a lot of the fun is taken out of swimming and diving at KU."
She refused to comment on her relationship with Kempf but she said she was one of four female swimmers left on the team for her senior year, down from the 12 with whom she entered her freshman year.
"All you have to do is look at the constant factors involved with the program — the problem is obvious," Turner said. "When 11 assistant coaches have left since I was recruited in 1995 and the best swimmers on the team grow to hate swimming, quit or leave, those are red flags that there is a significant problem with the swim team."
"Every person has flawed character, but his is flawed in such a way that I don't think he should be in a leadership position over young people's minds and lives."
Don Fearon
Why has it taken so long for swimmers to go public with complaints about Kempf? To protest is to suffer Kempf's wrath, some say.
Kansas diving coach 1989-1997
Though Painter never had his scholarship threatened, he said he often heard of Kempf threatening other swimmers' scholarships.
"He really does hold the scholarship thing over your head," Painter said. "People are scared of him because of the things he can do. He can pull your scholarship, ruin your name. A college coach determines a lot about your life when you graduate. That's a lot of power for 18, 19, 20 year-old kids who view him as their authority figure."
'Hate philosophy'
Fearon, who became the diving coach in 1989, said it wasn't just Kempf's techniques, it was his character.
Every person has flawed character but his is flawed in such a way that I don't think he should be in a leadership position over young people's minds and lives," Fearon said. "I think he tries to use a tactic of confrontation, intimidation and threat along with a philosophy which I would call a 'hate philosophy.' That hate philosophy entails hate for your opponents or hate for losing."
Kempf said he tried to be consistent in his coaching career but never tried to negatively impact his athletes. He said it bothered him to be criticized so harshly because he loved kids, the sport of swimming and the program at KU.
"It hurts, I feel like I've given 23 years of my life here," Kempf said. "I've told my wife and the people close to me that I'll give it the best shot I have. It hurts when people don't like that. I'm just hoping we can look at the big picture and that big picture is I've coached over 500 athletes. Somebody brought this all together, and I can't really fight it, but it hurts."
Though many swimmers and coaches say they are too afraid to share concerns with
authorities because they fear Kempf, some athletes and their parents are taking action about their experiences with Kansas swimming.
Dan Turner, Adrienne's father, said he'd spoken with Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor, and written letters to Chancellor Robert Hemenway calling for the removal of Kempf as coach because Adrienne's experience had been so negative.
Speaking out
"As a parent, you feel like you sort of sold your kid down the river," he said. "The way Kempf handled himself was irrational."
Mike Bonner, McCalley's mother, Tracey McCalley, and Painter's parents have each written letters to the chancellor, along with other former swimmers, their parents and former coaches in an organized campaign, voicing their concern with the direction of the swimming and diving team.
Athletes and parents say they've received no response from the athletics department or the chancellor.
Frederick said it was a confidential personnel matter that he could not discuss with the general public.
Despite initial fears of what might happen, McCalley said she tried twice to inform the athletics department of what was going on with the swim team.
"I finally wrote two letters to the athletic department. I never heard responses," McCalley said. "I tried to make a meeting with Bob Frederick, and he never called me back. I even wrote them asking them to please acknowledge that somebody had read the letter, but I never even received any notification on that."
Frederick said he remembered McCalley but had no recollection or intent of disregarding her.
However, Frederick said the student athlete survey, which 92 percent of Kansas student athletes completed last year, gave students the opportunity to voice their concerns. Those concerns, he said, were later dealt with in the department.

"If they had some concern they wanted to express beyond what the survey questions were, they had an open-ended place where they could write comments," Frederick said. "The purpose of the survey was to see how our administration and all the people working in the department are doing in relation to our mission statement."
Ten swimmers said they had approached both assistant coaches and athletic administrators with their plights. Though they requested confidentiality in discussing their Frustrations, they said Kempf always found out about their complaints.
"They say there all these support systems for athletes in the athletic department." Painter said. "Sure, academically, the support is good, but if you're having problems with the coach, you have nowhere to go."
Painter, and others, said they felt helpless.
"What can I do? It's his word against mine." Painter said. "If you go to the athletic department, nothing's going to happen because it's a good old boys' network. I love KU. I love the campus. I love the team. I loved going to school there. I have pride to be a Jayhawk. It was hard for me to get out of there."
Frederick said it would do no good for him to listen to athletes' complaints without informing the coaches involved.
"If a student athlete comes to me, the first thing I tell him or her when they get here is that I want them to know that I'm going to report the fact that he or she came to the head coach," Frederick said. "I can't be in a position, when I’m the person to whom those people report, that I would not be having all those communications without the coach. I think that'd be rather clandestine on my part if anytime somebody didn't like what was going on in their sport they came in to see me and I didn't tell the coach I had this conversation."
A dead end
Painter, along with his father, Dan Turner, and Bonner said Kempf's relationship with the athletics department was part of a network that disregarded any negative comments about Kempf.
"It's gone pretty much unheeded there and we've got a serious problem," Dan Turner said. "I think they're just involved in keeping the status quo, especially in a secondary sport like swimming."
Fearon tried to approach the swim team issues from a different angle -- the inside.
Fearon said that he, Paul Busirkli, director of student life, and Kempf had an appointment to discuss the situation, but Busirkli got sick and never rescheduled. After about three weeks, Fearon said he contacted Bob Frederick and got an apathetic response.
"Bob said, it was up to (Kempf) and me to work things out," Fearon said. "At that point, I knew nothing was going to get done."
Frederick said he didn't recall but didn't deny telling Fearon to handle the conflict between Fearon and Kemp. However, he said he vaguely recollected Fearon's complaint. He also said some former swimmers and coaches had voiced their support for Kemp.
Kempf's one-year-renewable contract was renewed last fall, to the chagin of some athletes, parents and coaches. Frederick cited the classroom achievements of Kempf's swimmers and said he was aware not everyone was content with his coaching.
The former coaches, parents and swimmers have their own ideas of what should be done.
"I really do believe the man needs to step down," Fearon said. "I feel badly because he has a wife and kids but, you know what?", I had a wife and kids and he made it to the point where I had to step down."
Dan Turner said he thought, at the very least, that the men's and women's team should be separated and a new coach be found for the women.
Lynn Painter said he didn't understand why Kempf had not yet relinquished his position as coach. And Tracey McCalley said a change needed to be made.
"I want him out," McCalley said. "It's hard to watch freshman class after freshman class go through the same thing. It's always the same thing over and over. There are always the couple people who make it through but we started with 12 girls my freshman year and four made it through. That's pretty indicative of these five years."

Quest for new dean begins
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University to provide pool of candidates
P. H. H.
The fourth dean search of the semester began yesterday but with a new twist.
Unlike the three previous dean searches this semester — for fine arts, law and business deans — the search for a new dean of the graduate school and international programs, which began with a meeting of the search committee yesterday, will not consider candidates outside the University of Kansas.
"In some jobs you have to have so much institutional knowledge," said Provost David Shulenburger. "And that's one of them."
He said that because the graduate school lacked the level of central
authority present in the other schools, a familiar face would ease the transition.
"The authority of the graduate school is relatively decentralized," sulenburger said. "The faculty have got to develop faith in that person. I doubt you could bring someone in from the outside, and do that."
As a result, the search won't need the national publicity the others have had, said Carole Ross, interim dean of fine arts and search committee chairwoman.
Instead, the committee will publicize the position through the Lawrence Journal-World and letters to faculty, Ross said. All full professors will be eligible for the position, she said. "We'll probably meet and look at all the information right after the Feb. 1 deadline."
Members of the committee hope to have a new dean picked by March 1, Ross said.
Meanwhile, current dean, Andrew
Deblicki, will continue to serve through July 31, Shulenburger said, giving the committee plenty of time to make their choice.
He said although it was fairly uncommon to have four dean searches in one semester, it was no cause for alarm. Occasionally, the University has had that many dean searches in the same semester in the past. Shulenburger said.
In addition, two of the dean searches simply are continuations of failed searches from the spring he said. Only two searches actually were started this semester.
Despite the fact that the search is internal, success is not guaranteed. Shulenburger said. Internal searches in the past occasionally have failed to field qualified candidates, he said.
Still, Shulenburger said he was optimistic about finding a good candidate for the job.
"There are plenty of quality people within this University," he said.
Dean to receive award for teaching
— Edited by Rebecca Sutherland

Kansas stoff writer
As he prepares to retire as a dean next spring to resume his teaching career, Andrew Debicki has one task to complete that he didn't plan on. He will travel to Chicago Dec. 27 to receive a prestigious award for his long career as a leader in higher education.
Debicki, dean of the graduate school and international programs, has been awarded the Association of Departments of Foreign Languages' Award for Distinguished Service in the Profession. In the association's eight years of existence, Debicki is the fifth person to receive the award.
their career."
He will receive the award at the Modern Language Association's convention Dec. 27 to 30. Debicki said he was surprised when he heard he had been selected.
"I knew I was nominated, but to give me the one award from a group of hundreds of other nominees — I was flattered," he said. "It's generally given to someone at the end of
Debicki, who will be retiring from the dean's position next spring, will return to his full-time teaching roots, which he began in 1968. He plans to teach graduate courses in Spanish.
"The award is for work as a faculty position, not an administrative one," he said.
The ADFL distinguished service award is one of the Modern Language Association's top career awards. The award honors eminent scholar-teachers for exceptional contributions to foreign languages, literatures and cultures.
David Goldberg, assistant director of the association, said Debicki was selected for the award because he was a teacher of all teachers.
"He was recognized for his service, not just scholarship beyond the printed world," Goldberg said. "He is known as a leader of the profession and a representative of the field in the broader community."
Goldberg said Debicki was nominated by Roberta Johnson, director of the Hall Center of the Humanities and professor in Spanish and
Portuguese; Jonathan Mayhew,
associate professor in Spanish and
Portuguese; and two professors
from different universities.
Debicki has been director of three National Endowment of the Humanities summer seminars where he acted as a mentor to several younger professors. He also has published eight books about Spanish poetry, produced 20 Ph.D. students in his field and is known for developing 20th-century Hispanic poetry as a field of study.
In a press release, Cancellor Robert Hemenway praised Debicki and the work he had done in the field.
"I can think of no one more deserving of recognition," he said. "This award brings into focus Andy Debicki's truly extraordinary contributions as a scholar, teacher and leader in higher education."
Despite winning the award, Debicki said he would not simply step out of the limelight.
"I plan on having a long career of teaching," he said. "I'll teach until I can't teach anymore."

FBI may investigate EgyptAir 990 crash
Federal officials say concern could indicate criminal involvement
The Associated Press
NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — Officials prepared Tuesday to turn over the investigation of the crash of EgyptAir Flight 990 to the FBI — indicating suspicions of a criminal act — but delayed the move at Egypt's request.
The development came amid indications someone in the cockpit made a religious utterance just before the jet went into its fatal plunge — and that a relief co-pilot may have taken over before the crash. The Associated Press learned.
Jim Hall, chairman of the National Transportation Safety
Board, said in Washington that additional Egyptian experts were joining the investigation.
"Given this further development, it is only prudent for the National Transportation Safety Board to fully evaluate this information prior to any final decision on whether the responsibility for this investigation should transfer to the Federal Bureau of Investigation." Hall said.
The timing of the prayer — before the jet's autopilot was disengaged and the plane dived from 33,000 feet — raised suspicions that Flight 990 was deliberately brought down.
The words apparently came from someone in the co-pilot's seat, but not necessarily the co-pilot.
A source close to the investigation told the AP that Egyptian airline officials tentatively identified the person in the co-pilot's seat as the relief co-pilot, Gameel El
Batouty, 59. They identified his voice after listening to the cockpit voice recorder at NTSB headquarters.
Batouty was scheduled to take over much later in the flight from co-pilot Adel Anwar. Another source close to the investigation, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the tape showed Batouty apparently came in at some point, "said he wanted to fly" and his request was accepted.
In Washington, Hall said further analysis of the cockpit voice recorder was needed on the meaning of the utterance.
"As long as there are differences in the interpretation — and there are significant differences in the cultural interpretations of some expressions on the recorder — I think it is unfair ... for us to characterize it," he said.
Although the phrase heard on the
recorder was characterized as a prayer, that doesn't necessarily mean it was related to the cause of the plunge. Arabic speakers commonly make references to God in everyday statements.
Hall said at a news conference the government would hire a private salvage concern to retrieve the airplane wreckage from the ocean floor. He said officials were particularly interested in the cockpit.
"Based on the evidence we have seen thus far — the flight data recorder, the cockpit voice recorder, radar data and the small bits of wreckage that have been recovered — we have found so far no sign of a mechanical or weather-related event that could have caused this accident," he said.
A senior intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there still was no clear evidence that terrorism was involved.

Chippendales dance, disrobe to delight of female crowd
By Sarah Hale and Katie Hollar writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writers
"Are you all ready to see some naked men?" the master of ceremonies velled.
He egged on hundreds of women, taunting them with promises and seducing them with bad jokes and sexual innuendoes. He was trying to energize the crowd at Tremors, 729 New Hampshire St., and get them ready to see four Chippendales dancers last Saturday night. Yes, only four.
The music started, one by one four "hunky" men paraded out onto the small stage highlighted by blue and red lights and strobe lights. They thrusted, grooved, turned and saluted to more than 500 women screaming "Take it off." Eventually, they did.
Dell St. Germaine, Rick Edwards, Kevin Cornell and Bill Beezel, better known as Troop B of the Chippendales empire, each took turns dancing and stripping to the songs and themes of their choice. They took turns inviting the many women who paid between $25 and $100 to sit on the stage.
While the emcee warned the crowd that touching the dancers wasn't permitted, the men openly fondled, spanked, kissed and licked the many women who paid. Even some who didn't.
Sarah's story:
Reporters are taught to ask the hard questions. so I did.
When Rick, the tattooed beefcake we called "Shorty" walked by oozing sweat, I calmly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Why don't you guys have any hair?" I asked referring to their creepy lack of leg and armpit hair.
"You want to see some manly hair?" he leered.
“Sure,” I said, watching him unzip his pants and pull out his G-string, giving myself and my friends a view of his manliness. Needless to say, he has hair.
While we didn't see any of the other dancers' members,"Captain America," "Thor," (our nicknames) and the others put on a spicy show, though I laughed the entire time.
"Thor," a Fabio wannabe, rocked to Guns N' Roses "Welcome to the Jungle," while "Captain America" sported an American Flag G-string. Classy.
I was into my second vodka tonic when one of the "himbos," a swarthy brute named Dell, sashayed up to me. He grooved for a few minutes before he leaned in close to whisper seductively in my ear. "Baby, you got to tip."
Katie's story:
I had vowed to go through this sober, but soon the pelvic thrusting and the infinitely repeated "Genie in a Bottle" song drove me to drink.
When I denied to stuff his thong, he promptly stopped grinding his crotch against my thigh.
It was the horny girls vs. the nasty girls in a ruthless battle to see which side screamed and tipped the most. Seated on the right side of the club, I was classified a horny girl, though I wasn't exactly turned on by bad teeth, turquise G-strings and Top Gun medlews.
Dell, a 29-year-old Canadian, is the oldest of the four dancers who visited Lawrence. Though he's only been with Chippendales since April, he's stripped with other companies in the past.
Poor Dell has had a hard month. His girlfriend broke up with him a little more than a week ago. She finally saw a show.
Dancing Dell's story:
"It's a very lonely profession," he said. "I shouldn't even call it a profession."
Dell has a degree in criminology and plans on quitting in April to pursue a career in search and rescue.
Guess he's sick of all the crazy questions — and crazy women.

Students expose women of KU
K.D.
Three entrepreneurs set out to improve swimsuit calendar
By Heather Woodward
Campus editor
Thousands of people will witness Kendra Foster's first time in a bikini.
Prodded by her boyfriend and enticed by a free trip to a tropical locale, the Clay Center sophomore ended up as January's poster girl in the 2000: Women of KU calendar — surrounded by the surf and sporting a red, white and blue two-piece. Although she had considered modeling before, she said the calendar offered her the chance to work without the demanding weight requirements on which some agencies insist.
"It was all real natural," Foster said. "I think this calendar was more just trying to show women as beautiful."
"A lot of these calendars just show tall,
Women of KU was the braincild of Roy Ben-Aharon, president of University Calendar Productions, L.L.C. and Plano, Texas, sophomore. Both he and Arjun Amaran, his resident assistant in Naismith Hall last year and Overland Park senior, had wanted to start a business.
skinny, blond girls — sorority girls," Ben-Aharon said. "We wanted to make one that really represented KU, since it's so diversified. We had two African-American models; a Jewish girl; a Catholic; Corinne, who is half Chinese; Graciea from Costa Rica."
After seeing a copy of another KU women calendar they both deemed poorly produced, the two set out to make a better one. The other calendar was produced by Manhattan-based Blue Iguana Inc., which also produces a Men of KU calendar.
Fellow Naismith resident T.J. Kilian, Derby senior, joined the two in their endeavor.

Below left: The models and crew had to drive for 27 hours to reach the site of the photo shoot, South Padre, Texas. Contributed art.
Their dream was of a business. A calendar just happened to be its product.
Both Ben-Aharon and Amaran said they never had owned a swimsuit calendar in their lives, and Kilian said he only bought one a long time ago.
"I didn't think badly of them," Amaran said of swimsuit calendars. "I just didn't think much of them. I've never had any pictures of girls on my wall."
Local sponsors and advertisers pushed their entrepreneurial dream right along.
The trio placed an ad in the University Daily Kansan, posted fliers and visited sororites in search of potential models. Nearly 100 women responded. Interviews and an audience vote at Dos Hombres, 815 New Hampshire St., narrowed the pool to 12.
The pool included Kilian's girlfriend of four years — Kelly Newman, a Derby senior who has modeled since she was 13.
Newman, who seductively crawls on the sand, her blond hair blowing, for the February shot, said working with her boyfriend wasn't hard.
"At first I was a little worried about what people would think," Kilian said. "But she really wanted to do it. And I'm proud of her, so if she wanted to do it, she can."
S
"At some points it was awkward or weird," Newman said. "But we know how to draw the line when it comes to a working relationship."
This summer, the group piled into two 15-person vans bound for South Padre, Texas, making room for a professional photographer, a hair stylist and a makeup artist. The four-day trip was a predawn to post-midnight blitz to the beach for two days of sunrise and sunset photo shoots. They were rewarded with a nonstop 27-hour ride back home.
"We had a good time," Ben-Aharon said. "But we were only sleeping like two hours a night."
Printing the calendar and the Padre trip have been the company's largest expenses thus far. Kilian estimated that it had cost the company about $20,000 to produce 5,000 calendars, about half of which are in the stores for $12.79. The rest of the calendars are being held for restocking purposes. Customers can find the Women of KU calendar at 10 locations in Lawrence including Hastings, Alley Cat Music, Priscilla's and Sixth Street Dillons, nine locations in Kansas City, four locations in Topeka and four Web sites including Amazon.com
So far profits are uncertain. Ben-Aharon said he hoped the company broke even.
Next year, Amaran said the company would do some things differently. The founders want to expand and create a Men of KU calendar as well as others. They also will begin marketing their calendars earlier to get them in stores before the vital Thanksgiving through Christmas shopping time.
Eight percent of the company's profits will benefit various charities — 2 percent of company money and 6 percent of the founders' income. Included in the recipients is a poor high school in India that Amaran's grandfather founded.
Foster said sometimes customers looking at the calendar would notice her standing nearby and recognize her picture. But as far as she knows, the biggest customer has been her father who bought 50 copies.
Not all parents were as enthusiastic.
Next December, walls will be graced with the fluorescent-striped Amanda Lackey, Parsons senior, who said her parents were divided when they initially saw the pictures.
"My mom was not excited," Lackey said. "But my dad thought it was really cool. My mom thought they were too sexy."

'Hawks grab 87-51 victory
Women's team scores with full-court press
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kanson swordwriter
The Kansas women's basketball team is not exactly where it expects to be, but the team had a lot more to smile about after its 87-51 victory against Latvia-Club Riga last night in its final exhibition game.
The Jayhawks had a chance to showcase their triple-post offense against Club Riga's man-to-man defense, as they scored on every set play but one.
"It was good to just have a chance to run it," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "I'm proud of the way the team ran it and the way we executed. If they didn't score, it was because they were in a hurry. We need to take our time with it, but it will be very good for us."
The defense also saw immense improvement from the team's first exhibition matchup, a 80-67 win against Club Gija-Marijampole Nov. 9.
Last night, Kansas held Club Riga to 51 points on 16-of-65 shooting and did not allow it to score from the free. I now line until the second half.
The Jayhawks had been concerned with free-throw attempts after allowing Club Gla to score 27 points from the free-throw in the last game.
"The defense was much improved." Washington said. "We had a few breakdowns in the beginning, but we were able to rotate and help each other much better. In our last exhibition, we weren't 'able to move our feet and kept reaching, but we moved
our feet better tonight. It wasn't until the second half that we put them on the line, but when you play everybody, things tend to breakdown."
Despite the improvements, Kansas had a slow start and led by only four points with 12:50 left in the first half. Junior forward Brooke Reves scored six straight points and helped put the Jayhawks ahead 21-8, and the Jayhawks scored on 10-of-12 possessions during a seven-minute period. Reves led all scors with 19 points in 8-of-11 shooting.
"Brooke simply played hard and played the game from start to finish," Washington said. "She has some of the same traits as Lynn Pride. Our biggest concern is keeping a harness on her, she doesn't overextend herself. She's very versatile, and she is playing with great confidence."

kansas millennium athlete No. 4 nolan cromwell
story by Sam Mellinger
The rules were different for Nolan Cromwell. Anyone else, and Don Fambrough would have said no.
Play two sports? No way.
"You want kids on the practice field as much as you can," said Fambrough, who coached Cromwell on the Kansas football team from 1973 to 1974.
But when Cromwell told Fambrough that he wanted to run track in the Spring of 1974, Fambrough had no problem.
"Some kids aren't as gifted as Nolan," Fambrough said. "They don't have what he had. When you're that talented, you don't need as much practice time."
That was part of the deal, really. Cromwell was born in Ransom on Jan. 30, 1955. A high school All-American in football and track (he was honorable mention in basketball). Cromwell didn't come to Kansas in Fall 1973 just to play one sport.
"We recruited Nolan very hard, too," said Bob Timmons, Cromwell's track coach at Kansas from 1973 to 1977. "And so did Don. He really wanted him in the worst way for football, and we felt the same way about track. He just did everything really well."
In football, he played defensive back his first two years before evidence of
his athletic ability spurred new football coach Bud Moore to name Cromwell the quarterback of the team's option offense. Cromwell still holds school records for most yards rushing by a quarterback in a game (294), season (1,124) and career (1,664). He was the Big Eight Offensive Player of the Year and honorable mention All-American in 1975. Cromwell was named All-American in track, which he called his "fun sport," in 1976 and 1977.

Practice breeds sore muscles; players show promise

Kansan sportswriter
By Mike Miller
The 45-13 loss to Oklahoma State wasn't the biggest loss of the season for the Jayhawks, but it might have been the toughest.
The mental errors that contributed to the loss made things tough, as well as the final numbers. Kansas had more total yards and first downs than Oklahoma State, and held a 13-10 halftime time lead, until things eroded in the second half. That's what made things tough at practice yesterday.
It's been a three-day hangover for the football team.
"It was hard for me to go out there today because I'm still mad and frustrated about that game. We were lethargic, and you can attribute that to the loss," said Coach Terry Allen.
Part of the practice problems were also because the scout team — redshirt players and other walk-on players — were sore from Monday's practice.
Usually the scout team doesn't play during Saturday's game, and since the
team doesn't practice on Mondays, those players have a three-day weekend when they get to rest. But Monday they played in a "Scout Bowl," in which the scout team plays against each other for about 100 plays — the most live action they see all season. The Scout Bowl took a little bit out of them physically.
"We finally got a chance to have some contact with people," said freshman defensive lineman Dijon Dillon. "It was kind of fun to bang up a little bit."

Jonesey picks the century's top 10 athletes
With the Year 2000 around the corner and a month's supply of distilled water in everyone's fallout shelter, it seems that the only thing sportswriters can come up with is All-Century lists.
It's only fitting that I conform with the water in the fallout shelter and the All-Century list. So prepare yourself for a top 10 list with a Jonesson skin I present to you
"Jonesey's Top-10 'Athletes' of the Centuryl"
1: Muhammad Ali
The greatest. 'Nuf said.
First of all, the Jonesey Top 10 cuts to the chase. No waiting around through nine runners-up. My No. 1 comes, appropriately enough first.
BROOKLYN N.Y.
Now, on to the runners-up.

10: O.J. Simpson:
Started his career
evading tackles, ended it evading a double-murder rap. Proves to society that you can't catch this man, even when he's already caught. One question: Couldn't the white Bronco have gone faster than 30 miles per hour?
9: The General Lee from *The Dukes of Hazzard*: A souped-up '69 Charger — Luke and Bo Duke never had trouble evading the law with this fine piece of machinery. Some of its amazing feats include the ability to squeal tires on a dirt road and the ability to jump cliffs and gorges, especially when a bridge was out. Don't think a car should qualify for my Top 10? ESPN had Secretariat, a race horse, in its Top 50 athletes of all time, so I'm throwing a car in mine. Just barely beat out Kit from *Knight Rider*, by the way.
4: Steve Zungul: Known as "The King of All Indoors," Zungul dominated indoor soccer for the Tacoma Stars in the early '80s. And because maybe 10 other people on campus have ever heard of him, I'll move on...
B: Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn: Started his career pitching in the California Penal League after stealing a car, then moved up to play for the Cleveland Indians. He worked out his control problems and managed to help the Indians defeat the Yankees to Bob Ueker's delight.
3: Hulk Hogan: Body slammed everyone from Andre the Giant to Rocky Balboa in *Rocky III*. Behind the power of thousands of Hulkamaniacs, the Hulkster is the best pro wrestler of all time.
7: Brittney Spears: But she's not an athlete, you say? Sorry. Any girl who is so hot that she's on fire makes the Jonesey Top 10. Deal with it.
5: Seth "Jonesey" Jones: Once had 12 points, nine rebounds and seven blocked shots in a junior-varsity basketball game against Rose Hill. Also broke an arm during warm-ups of a seventh grade game against Wellington while attempting to dunk. A real intimidator.
6: Ralf Laeue: According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Ralph, a native of Germany, tossed a pancake in the air 416 times in two minutes in 1997. Amazing what finely tuned athletes can do these days.
2: Mia Hamm: Remember the rule about being so hot you are on fire? Hamm is not only on fire, but she is also the most dominating female soccer player in the world.
Well folks, there you have it. Sure, it's a little more unorthodox than other lists. There were no phone surveys or sports historians consulted for this one. Just one college student having fun.
Just so you're prepared, next Wednesday we don't have class because of Turkey Day. But be sure to pick up Tuesday's Kansan to check out the Turkey awards — awards of shame I'll be giving out to sports people for the holiday. The following Wednesday is the second annual Jonesey Awards column. I'm now taking nominations for both Turkey Awards and Jonesey Awards at the sports desk.
Be afraid. Be very afraid

That's all this week, folks. You may now return to your fallout shelters.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 4.
You're most likely pensive and thoughtful. You're at the end of one phase and almost ready to start a new one. Meanwhile, plan for your future security. Put money away. It's comforting.
Taurus: Todav is a 7.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You and your partner have been going around and around. You might finally reach an agreement, is there a third party involved, acting as a mediator? If not, maybe you should get one! Compromise is possible.
Relax and focus your attention on serving other people. That's the best way for you to advance in your career. You can get the respect you deserve from the people who you admire. Don't say much. Let your actions speak louder than your words.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Friends are having problems, but your intuition is on target. Offer your healing suggestions. Sometimes you're shy, but don't hold back now. They might never figure it out by themselves.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Somebody did something nice for you once. A gift would be a nice way to pay them back. This person would never expect anything, and that makes it even better. You're sure to take them by surprise!
Virao: Today is a 7.
Make some decisions today that will affect your partnership. A lot of good ideas have been tossed around lately, but somebody has to sort through them. That's most likely you! Figure out what's to be done and who's going to do it.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
You're a creative person. It's hard to find the time, however. If you can find the time now, you might also find some money. That is enough to inspire you to take action!
Saaittarius: Todav is a 5.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You have excellent conditions for love today. There may be a surprise, too. If a loved one needs bailing out, you'll really look like a hero. Be generous. That will also give you more control, which is always nice.
If you're trying to concentrate, forget it. Too much activity is going on. A change is underway, so take care. Don't bother to make a decision now. There's more to learn before that makes sense. Watch, listen and wait.
BALLET
C
You're a talkative person, but today more non-verbal communication goes on. If you can't figure out what's happening, stop listening to what's being said and watch what's being done. If you give up, ask. This ought to be interesting.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
LIVE
M
Pisces: Today is an 8.
2
You could see something interesting, something philosophically advanced. This is not trivial little stuff. It's the big picture. You may even make a suggestion that wows top management. This is one of the ways you get there, incidentally, so speak up.
This looks like a good day to get the money you need. Be humble and nice to somebody who you've been arguing with lately. If you can manage to do that, you may be able to work a deal. If you not, well, that's your decision, too.

Karolyi, who retired after the 1996 Olympics, will be the women's national team coordinator, but he will not coach at the Sydney Olympics, USA Gymnastics said today. He will set the team's training programs and oversee its Olympic preparations.
The latest failure was confirmed yesterday by Canada's drug agency. Johnson's agent, said Johnson had taken a diuretic for medical reasons.
Chrobotek paid for the latest test as part of a campaign to get Johnson's lifetime ban lifted. He said Johnson got pills when he became ill last year and had taken the medicine a few weeks before
Karolyi will advise the gymnasts' personal coaches and have a role in saving who makes the Olympic team.
He's been a member of the U.S. coaching staff at four Olympics (1984, 1988, 1992 and 1996).

Former Kansas assistant wins Notre Dame debut
COLUMBUS, Ohio — David Graves hit a 15-foot jumper at the buzzer as Notre Dame opened the Matt Doherty era with a 59-57 upset against No. 4 Ohio State yesterday in the opening round of the Preseason NIT.
Doherty was an assistant coach at Kansas under Roy Williams, and he was a member of North Carolina's national championship team in 1982.

Former Arizona State star gets prison term
PHOENIX — Despite an apology and a plea for probation, former Arizona State basketball star Stevin "Hedake" Smith is going to prison for his role in a point-shaving scandal.
"I realize what I did was wrong," Smith said at his sentencing Monday. "I wish I could redo it."
Smith, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit sports bribery, was sentenced to a year in prison for shawning points during the 1993-94 season.
His attorney asked the court for probation, citing Smith's cooperation with authorities, his decision not to

shave points during the fifth game as planned and his inability to play professionally overseas this year. But U.S. District Judge Robert C. Broomfield emphasized the damage

Martinsville Speedway owner dies at aae 86
CAR RACING
MARTINSVILLE, Va. — H. Clay Earles, whose attempt to use auto racing as a money maker turned into a more than a half century career as the owner of Martinsville Speedway, died today after a yearlong illness. He was 86.
Earles got into auto racing after seeing the crowds that races in North Carolina attracted.
In 1947, Earles carved a half-mile dirt track out of the red clay near Martinsville, Va. packed the track down with oil and other materials and advertised the race as "dust-free" to
an eager crowd, many of whom came dressed for a big occasion. More than 6,000 fans came to the first race at the track, which had 750 seats ready.
"It turned out to be the dustiest place I've ever seen," Earles, recalled last year. "When the race started, it looked like someone had dropped the atomic bomb."

Serena Williams injures back, drops out of event
She was replaced in the draw by Elena Likvhotse of Russia, who played last night against Belgium's Dominique Van Roost.
NEW YORK — U.S. Open champion Serena Williams hurt her back during practice yesterday and withdrew from the Chase Championships.
Williams was treated by the tournament physician, Ken Montgomery, who described the injury as a vertebral dysfunction.
Williams: with drew from the Chase Champions yesterday
I am very grateful to you for your generosity. I will be happy to provide more information about the charity and its activities.
Williams was seeded fourth in the 16-player, season-ending tournament that features a $2 million purse. She had the best non-lost 'record on the Women's Tennis Association Tour this year, 41-7, and had lost just twice since May while playing a
reduced schedule.
She won her first Grand Slam tournament title two months ago in New York, defeating Martina Hingis in the final of the U.S. Open shortly before her 18th birthday. Last month, she won the Grand Slam Cup, defeating older sister Venus in the title match.

The game also was an opportunity for the coaching staff to see how much better the scout team players have become since the start of the year.
Allen said that he was pleased and impressed with the play of defensive lineman Lance Carson and running backs Reggie Duncan and Harold McClendon. Those were three players who impressed Allen all
season.
Wide receiver Derrick Mills, who caught a 65-yard touchdown pass, and cornerback Carl Ivey, also impressed Allen with their quickness and athleticism.
Quarterback Zack Dyer impressed Allen with his throwing ability and mobility for a quarterback who's 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds.
All the action meant the scout team didn't practice like they usually do pushing the starters to play
better — which meant practice dragged a little bit.
The subdued practice gave the Jayhawks a chance to get healthy — linebackers Tim Bowers and Chaz Murphy are nursing injuries — and to prepare for an improved Iowa State team.
"Iowa State is better than they were a year ago," Allen said.
"But then again, we are too."

Chiefs coach denies rumors of team problems
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A testy Gunther Cunningham insisted yesterday there was no problem between him and offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye.
"I read that maybe Jimmy and I aren't on the same page," said the Kansas City Chiefs coach. "That's the most laugable thing I've ever heard in my life."
"I tell the players, 'If you had the respect Jimmy Raye and I have between us as men, as professionals and as a friend, then you'd never have any second-guessing going on."
Raye came under fire in the wake of Sunday's 17-10 loss at Tampa Bay when he called nine straight running
plays following a fumble by quarterback Elvis Grbac. None of the three possessions produced a first down and Raye, questioned after the
CHEFTS
game, said simply, "Ask Gunther." Monday, Cunningham had said that Raye got himself into a bit of a funk after Warren Sapp beat guard Will Shields and caused Grbac to fumble.
"Sapp just got the better of Will, and Jimmy wanted to make sure we weren't going to fumble the ball down in that area of the field again." he said.
But Cunningham, a former defensive coordinator who was named this year as Marty Schottenheimer's replacement as coach, said he would never second-guess his coordinators.
"I've sat there before," Cunningham said. "I understand my offensive coordinator getting that done. Am I mad at him? Hell, no. I love him. I respect him. The guy's brilliant. He works his tail off. Guys, there's not going to be any second-guessing from me. None. I would never second-guess Jimmy Raye."

Full-court helps 'Hawks in win
Continued from page 1B
Pride, a senior forward, also contributed to the run, adding nine points in the final eight minutes of the half.
Leading 38-24 at halftime, Kansas cruised to a 20-point lead 16 minutes into the second half and took its largest lead of the game at 84-44 with 2:32 remaining.
"We played really well," said junior
forward Jacklyn Johnson, who started the game at the center position. "We had a 100 percent improvement from our last game. We came in with the right attitude, and everyone came in ready to contribute in any way they could."
After the sluggish performance against Club Gija, chemistry was a big concern, but Reves said those concerns were silenced against Club Riga.
"We communicated more and stuck together as a team," Reves said. "We had some lapses, but we are getting there. We just had the first game jitters, but those seem to be gone. We had our chemistry before the game, and we had it the next day in practice, but we didn't have it that night. We have it back now."

Jayhawks press, fast-break to triumph
By Chris Wristen
sports@kanson.com
Kanson sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team had hoped to emphasize its new triplepost offense last night. But the Jayhawks ended up dominating Latvia Club Riga with a swarming full-court press and explosive transition play, resulting in a 87-51 victory.
Early on, the Jayhawks slowed the tempo and settled into their new offense. Kansas struggled to a 13-8 lead before Coach Marian Washington made a tactical adjustment.
She called for a full-court press with 11 minutes remaining in the first half. For the next seven minutes, the Jayhawks went on a 19-7 run, fueled by steals from juniors Jennifer Jackson and Brooke Reves, and a 10-point flurry
from senior forward Lynn Pride. From that point the game was blown wide open. Washington was satisfied with the success of the press.
"I felt our full-court press was very efficient, and that's where it all starts." Washington said. "I thought we really created some opportunities for ourselves, and I really thought we did a good job of finishing those fast break opportunities."
Jackson also was pleased with the tempo created by the defense.
"I felt overall our defensive effort was just amazing," Jackson said. "Getting in the passing lane, talking, helping each other out and double-teaming created a lot of problems for them. I was really excited about our tempo. If we can keep that up we're going to be a tough team to beat."
The excitement because of defensive
success has been a welcome improvement to Washington, who was deeply concerned with her team's defensive performance in last week's exhibition win against Club Gia-Marijampole.
"Tonight, to see us not just do a good job in the half-court but also see our extended defense be effective, was really a positive for us." Washington said.
Washington said that she was satisfied with the improvement and that defensive play would make or break the Jayhawks.
"Our defense is absolutely going to be our bread and butter," Washington said. "We have to play great defense to stay in the ballgame. You've got to score points, but defense is going to win you championships."

Setter rests knee, cheers team from sidelines

Amy Billings' first season as a member of the Kansas volleyball team has consisted mostly of watching and waiting.
Billings, a freshman setter, broke the patella in her left knee during Kansas' second practice of the season in August. She has been sidelined ever since.
"Originally, I thought that I would be back in a couple of weeks," Billings said. "I never thought I would be out as long as I have been."
Billings suits up for every match, but will only see action if something unexpected happens to Kansas' only other setter, sophomore Molly LaMere. If Billings does see action in any of the Jayhawks' remaining four regular season matches, she will burn a year of eligibility.
"Her injury was a huge disappointment to her and to our team. She did everything she could to get back this year.She battled in the rehab process, and we saw in her, competitiveness, which attracted us to her in the first place."
Two days later, Billings had surgery on the knee and was on the road to recovery. She began practicing with the team last month, but said that her mobility was still not 100
The injury that cut Billings' season short can be described in simple terms. Billings said that she had a stress fracture that she didn't know about, and that led to a bigger problem.
percent.
Ray Bechard Kansas volleyball coach
"Her injury was a huge disappointment to her and to our team," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "She did everything she could to get back this year. She battled in the rehab process and we saw in her a competitiveness, which attracted us to her in the first place."
In her absence, the Jayhawks have won a record eight Big 12 Conference matches and have a chance of gaining an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The Jayhawks, 17-10 overall and 8-8 in the Big 12, will next be in action against the nationally ranked Texas A&M Aggies on Friday in College Station, Texas. But Billings, just like the previous 27 matches, will cheer on her team from the sidelines.
"I think it would be more frustrating if they were playing badly and I wasn't able to
come in and help them," Billings said
Billings came to Kansas after having led Portage Northern High School in Portage, Mich., to 60-plus wins during her junior and senior seasons. Billings also led the team to the State Championship her senior year, and was also named Most Valuable Player her junior year.
As a senior, Billings earned Detroit Free Press Prep Star honors, and was a three-time All-Conference. All-Region and All-State selection during her high school career.
Kansas, however, will more than likely have to wait until next year to see if that high school success translates to the college level.
"She will bring talent, intensity and a competitiveness to this team next season," Bechard said.

'Screwy' starting lineup not set for season opener

Unlike any year of Kansas basketball in recent memory, this season has started, kind of "screwy."
That was what Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams vowed to do with his starting lineups in the two exhibition games — something screwy.
But in the context of Kansas basketball, being screwy is not necessarily a bad thing.
The team's new pregame shuffle-and dive drill is something Williams wanted to do to get fans more involved and to pump up the team. Senior Nick Bradford said that Williams' lenient attitude was a sign of him changing with the times, but Williams disagreed.
"I want the kids to have fun, as long as they play their butts off on the court," he said. "You can go behind your back, between your legs or between your ears as long as it's successful, that's all I care about."
Williams said that he didn't plan to add any more flare to his sideline coaching.
"I can guarantee you, nothing I do on the sideline is choreographed." Williams said.
So far Williams has started a different five at the start of all four halves of the two exhibition games. He also has substituted in waves of five. The shuffling of players was designed to give the
14 players on the Kansas roster equal time to prove their skills.
With the season opener this Friday night, Williams said that he still did not know which five would start, but two of the spots do seem sewn up
Most likely, junior Kenny Gregory will play the off-guard position and senior Nick Bradford will be Kansas' small forward. The other three positions are being battled for daily, Williams said.
"It's strange because on media day I said that Jeff (Boschee) and Eric (Chenowith) were probably the starting points," Williams said. "But I think that Kenny and Nick have played better in practices than anybody at their spots. Their's more clear cut, and it still could be Eric and Jeff, but it also may not be."
There are several possibilities of player combinations that could complement Bradford and Gregory, including Kansas' group of freshmen, Nick Collison, Drew Gooden and Kirk Hinrich. Those five started in Saturday's 119-44 victory against the Geelong Supercats, but none of the five played more than 19 minutes.
Williams said that while there had been battles at the other three spots, none of the individual competitions had stood out more than others. But Bradford disagreed.
"I'd say the most competitive sport has been the four (power forward)," Bradford said. "We have so many inside guys who can do so many things. That has definitely been the most competitive
"I want the kids to have fun, as long as they play their butts off on the court."

spot."
Sophomore Jeff Carey, Collison, Gooden and Earl are vying for the position.
While the power forward spot is competitive, Earl has been at a distinct disadvantage because of knee injuries.
("My health's questionable right now," Earl said. "The tendinitis prohibits me from doing some things. I could go out and get my vertical to 37-38 inches easy, but as far as running and cutting, I'm limited."
At 7 Friday night, some stability and certainty may be provided in the first regular-season contest against Fairfield in Allen Fieldhouse.
However, what the fans see might not be what they will get all season long. Williams said.
Bryant still weighing pros, cons as deadline approaches
"I usually like to start five guys and go with them all year," he said. "But I may not be able to do that with this team. That may not be the way to do it."

Today is the last day of the early signing period for high school seniors, and a lot remains up in the air about the status of Kansas's biggest recruit, 6-foot-8 forward Travon Bryant from Long Beach, Calif.
Bryant said Monday night that he was deciding between California and Kansas but that he was still unsure if he would sign early or wait until the spring.
"Right now it's 50-50." Bryant said. "Anything can happen, I just want to make sure I have a clear mind and make the right decision."
Recently, playing time has become a concern for Bryant. He said that he was not looking for 40 minutes a game but that he just wanted to be certain
that he would play.
Bryant could verbally commit to Kansas now and wait until Spring to sign a letter of intent, which would allow Bryant to monitor the Jayhawks' season and substitution patterns.
"IIf I would 20 minutes a game, that would be fine," Bryant said. "I know I'll have to work for playing time wherever I go, nothing's going to be guaranteed."
Bryant said that he looked at the national letters of intent from the schools arriving every day. The letter began arriving last Wednesday, which was the first day of the early signing period. While he has sat down with his high school coach and his friends to look at the pros and cons of each school, he said his most helpful ally has been his mother.
"She tells the truth," Bryant said. "She'll feel comfortable wherever I go, but she wants me to be smart about my decision, and she's been great. It's been crazy at times, but she's been great."
Bryant explains his decision-making process this way: "Say in a game, I go out and have 25 points, 12 boards and six blocks, I may think to myself, 'That was a perfect game,'" Bryant said. "But then when I watch films I
see a lot of mistakes I made and a lot of things I could've done better. That's how it has been with the schools. One week I'll think that one is the perfect school, but then the next I may see some things in the other that I didn't see before."
That is the case for Bryant and the Jayhawks.
"A lot of kids make emotional decisions," Bryant said. "That's how I felt after my visit to Kansas, like this is the school for me. But then I got home and told myself that I've got to think about this and make sure I make the right decision. I just can't go with my first feeling."
When Bryant does decide, he said that he would be more than willing to contact everybody. First he will tell his mother, then his high school coach and then the college coaches.
Bryant said that distance from home, a starting position and outside influences were not factors in his decision. Instead, he said that it was an overall comfort level that would decide it.
Sought-after California recruit signs letter of intent with Kansas

For months, the Kansas Jayhawks waited. They waited for an 18-year-old high school basketball player to make a decision about where he would go to college.
That player was 6-foot-5 swingman DeShawn Stevenson from Fresno, Calif. And that decision finally arrived last Friday. Kansas coach Roy Williams announced Saturday night that Stevenson's national letter of intent arrived Friday morning. Needless to say, Williams has been pleased since.
"It's very pleasing to say the least," Williams said. "DeShawn is an outstanding prospect. He's very athletic, and he has a great feel for defense. People talk about how he jumps or how he shoots, but the thing I like more than anything is his defensive potential."
Williams likened his newest California prize to Washington Wizards guard Mitch Richmond, who graduated from Kansas State in 1988. Williams said that although Stevenson was built like Richmond and could shoot like him, Stevenson might be more athletic.
Stevenson is the type of athletic wingman Kansas has been coveting since the departure of Paul Pierce to the NBA's Boston Celtics in 1998.
"I thought he was the best wing player who was out there," Williams said.
And so did several recruiting analysts such as Bob Gibbons of All-Star Report and Mike Sulivan of
"DeShawn is an outstanding prospect. He's very athletic, and he has a great feel for defense."
Roy Williams Kansas men's basketball coach
Insiders Report. Both named Stevenson in their personal top-five lists of high school seniors, with Gibbons tabbing Stevenson as the third-best player in the country.
Stevenson's high school coach, Larry Triguiero, agreed and said that people in the Fresno area were going to be sad to see him go but were excited for Stevenson.
"He's the best player to ever play at Washington-Union High School." Triguiero said. "And people are really supportive of his decision. They're sad to see him leave the valley, but I think he picked an excellent school in Kansas."
"He's a big-time prospect," Williams said. "But remember I said 'prospect.' That means he hasn't done it yet. He has a completeness to his game. He can score, he can defend, he can handle and he can rebound. He's physically able to compete at this level."

In the world of recruiting much is based on rumors and potential. Williams emphasized that he had not forgotten that in his joy of signing Stevenson.

Longhorns wait for competitor in division game
By Michael Rigg
Kansan sportswriter
Texas fans, call your travel agents.
By virtue of their 58-7 shellacking of Texas Tech on Saturday, the Longhorns are bound for San Antonio to play in the Big 12 Conference championship game as champions of the South Division.
But whom the Longhorns will play remains up in the air.
In the North division, there's a three-way logam at the top of the division, but Nebraska can clinch the division title with a victory against Colorado the day after Thanksgiving. If Nebraska falters, Kansas State would be headed to
the championship game — assuming the Wildcats aren't upset at home against Missouri. Colorado would win the division only if the Buffaloes defeat the Cornhuskers and Kansas State loses to Missouri.
Whomever Texas plays, however, is the last thing in the Longhorns minds.
"If you start looking at different scenarios about other teams winning or losing, you lose sight of what you want to accomplish," said Texas quarterback Major Applewhite.
What the Longhorns are out to accomplish now is a victory against in-state rival Texas A&M on Nov. 26 and to improve their No. 9 Bowl Championship Series
ranking, Texas defeated the Aggies 26-24 last season.
Bowl Possibilities
With wins on Saturday, both Texas Tech and Oklahoma State would become bowl eligible — but that doesn't mean they won't be home for the holidays.
If the Red Raiders and Cowboys win their respective games, they would both have the qualified six wins to play in bowl competition. That also would give the Big 12 Conference eight teams that have reached the six-win plateau, but the conference only has six guaranteed ball spots.
the winner of the conference also is assured of a berth in a BCS bowl. From there, the Cotton Bowl
gets to pick the team of its choice, which almost assuredly will be the loser of the championship game. The Holiday Bowl gets the third pick of Big 12 teams, the Alamo Bowl fourth and the Insight.com and Independence bowls selecting the fifth and sixth spots.
If Texas Tech and Oklahoma State do pick up the elusive sixth victories, they would have to hope for invitations to bowls without conference tie-ins such as the Alaha or Oahu bowls.
The downside for the Cowboys and the Red Raiders is that many bowls already have teams in mind that they would like to play. The Cotton Bowl officials in Dallas reportedly would love to get Texas for geographical reasons, while
reports in Denver say the Insight.com Bowl officials are drooling about the possibility of the Buffalooes playing in their game.
Still, the fact that Oklahoma State may be shut out of bowl action doesn't lessen the importance of the Cowboys' game on Saturday against Bavlor in Waco, Texas.
Defensive lineman Chris Tyler said that the first step was winning a sixth game.
"The games are all important because if we lose one, we don't go anywhere and don't become bowl eligible," Tyler said. "Those are our goals — to go to a bowl and to win these last games — especially on the road because we've been having trouble on the road."
Kansas State
While the regular season is winding to a close, the individual honors in the Big 12 are just starting to roll in. This week, two Kansas State players were given additional accolades for their performances in 1999. Kicking specialist Jamie Rheem was named one of three finalists for the prestigious 1999 Lou Groza Award, given annually to the top kicker in the nation.
Rheem's teammate, linebacker Mark Simoneau, also has been chosen as one of four finalists for the Dick Butkus Award, presented annually by the Downtown Athletic Club of Orlando, Fla., to the nation's top linebacker.

Cross country season ends without national qualifiers
By Rebecca Barlow sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For some Kansas runners, the District V race on Saturday was a closure for their careers. For others, it was a reason to start practicing for next season.
The Kansas cross country team's season ended at the race in Champaign, Ill., when no one qualified for the NCAA Championships.
This season was a challenge for many runners, especially for the new runners. Sophomore Keely Malone said she did not know what to expect but thought she ran well this season. She was the first Jayhawk to cross the finish line in five out of six meets.
"I did not really know what to expect and goals to have this season," Malone said. "I accomplished what I wanted to and beyond."
For the more experienced runners, the challenge wasn't inexperience, but trying to improve from last season.
"We had some high expectations, but the injuries really hurt us," senior Andy Tate said.
Both Malone and Tate saw improvements with the men's and women's teams.
"The team's attitude was our biggest improvement," Tate said. "The seniors left the team with a positive feeling."
Malone said she saw a big improvement with the women's running throughout the year. The team improved its finish at District V from last year by finishing 20th in a field of 25. She said she believed that they did not run as well as they could have.
"I definitely saw a lot of improvement through the year," Malone said. "I think we had the potential to do a lot better then we showed. We had the talent."
Malone said she thought that the District V meet had been a good way to end the season for her and for the team. The women ran their best to improve on last year's finish.
"I was happy with the place and time overall," Malone said. "I felt it was a nice closure to the season. A lot of girls stepped up for the team."
Malone said that she got a good fee this season and that she was excited about her season and had a really good time.
Tate was not as happy with his individual race at the district meet. He said that he had hoped to run faster than he did but that he was pleased with how the team ran together.
CROSS COUNTRY
"It was a队 race; no one really focused on an individual race," Tate said. "We ran real well as a team. We ran with guts, and we really stepped up and ran well as a squad."
The District V race was the last cross country race of Tate's career.
"It is a weird feeling that I will never run cross country again," Tate said. "I am going to miss it because it's a tight team sport and we really grew close this season and had fun together."
Tate said his career hadn't been close to his expectations. He had wanted to win a National Championship and that never happened.
Tate said he wanted to leave behind some good advice for the runners on next year's team.
I left the team with more experience," Tate said.
"Everything I have learned I have tried to pass it on. I had that as a runner. Overall, I left the team with the emotional part of running."
Besides helping other runners, Tate has learned from the younger runners this season. He said that sophomore Brent Behrens helped him learn how to stay focused through the race.
Some of the runners from cross country team will not get much time to rest, as many have began practicing for indoor track this week.

Cramps hurt cyclist's big finish
Graduate student nearly wins national mountain bike race
By Jim O'Malley
By Jim O Malley Special to the Kansan
Jed Schneider came close, but cramps on the last hill ended his bid to win the national collegiate mountain bike championship Saturday in Helen, Ga.
But his second-place finish in the men's 'A' cross-country race should put that seeming contradiction in terms — Kansas mountain biking — on the map.
Schneider, Sandia Park, N.M., graduate student, said Kansas got a bad draw for starting position, so he started four rows back. He overcame his bad starting position, eventually sharing the lead with two other riders through most of the second half of the 30-mile race.
The first turn on the 1996 Olympics mountain-bike course was a bottleneck just before a climb, Schneider said. As riders slowed and unclipped from their pedals, Schneider mounted, picked up his bike and ran up the 300-meter hill, which put him in about 10th place.
Schneider said that about halfway through the race, he, Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski, from the University of Colorado, and Ryan Radowski, from Central Oregon Community College, had pulled away from the rest of the field. Schneider said he and his two former teammates on the 1998 U.S. National Mountain Bike Team were out in front, riding wheel to wheel.
"We just couldn't break each other," Schneider said.
Schneider said, "We dropped Jeremy for a while on the third lap, but he caught us after 10
It was difficult to get away from the others because the course had some flat sections where riders could draft behind each other, he said.
minutes."
On the next-to-last climb of the race, Schneider said, Radowski cracked and eventually slipped to fourth place.
This left Schneider and Horgan-Kobelski alone in front.
"We were both close to cracking during the race," Schneider said. I didn't know who'd crack first."
Schneider said he hoped for a sprint finish, which he thought would propel him to first place.
"But on the last climb, 15 meters from the top, I cramped, and he attacked," Schneider said.
At that point, Schneider said, he knew he couldn't catch Horgan-Kobelski and decided to coast in to second.
Saturday's race was Horgan-Kobelski's third collegiate mountain bike championship in a row.
"But this was the closest it's ever been," Schneider said. "He's won in the past by something like four minutes. It was a good race. I'm happy about it."
Kansas' Bryce Lawrence and Scott Warren placed 67th and 112th out of the 121 riders in the race.
Daniel and Scott Wadley placed 40th and 50th out of 57 competitors in the men's 'B' cross-country race, and Jennifer Tilley was 54th out of 71 in the women's race.
Schneider said he would be back. He has another year and a half to go in the geography graduate program at the University of Kansas. Schneider said he had one more shot at the collegiate mountain bike nationals and two more chances for the collegiate road cycling championship.
Leonard Kristalka, the club's faculty advisor, said last week that with a little more support from the University, Kansas could have a top-level intercollegiate program.

Networks battle for NCAA rights
The Associated Press
NEW YORK—After being left out of last week's NASCAR TV deal, CBS and Disney's ABC-ESPN are the front-runners for the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Formal presentations will be made today and tomorrow at the NCAA's Indianapolis headquarters, and an announcement could come by the end of the week. The
new deal is expected to be worth about $400 million a year.
CBS, the incumbent, is in the fourth year of a seven-year, $1.73 billion contract that expires after 2002.
However, the NCAA has elected to negotiate a new deal, which would begin in 2003 and is expected to include marketing rights. The marketing rights to the tournament are held by Host Communications. CBS
and Host are expected to present the NCAA with a combined offer.
"The presentations will be on a broad range of topics," said NCAA spokesman Wally Renfro. "There is no timetable for when a decision will be made."
ESPN has said the advantage of having Disney broadcast the tournament was that viewers could watch all of the games nationally.
doesn't show all of the games nationally in the early rounds, but it could team with a cable partner to do so.
CBS, which declined to comment.
CBS' primary competition may be ABC-ESPN, but Fox and its cable partners, Fox Sports Net and FX, remain interested even after landing a share of the NASCAR package. NBC, which has the NBA, is not interested in the NCAA tournament.
NEW YORK — Pedro Martinez became only the fourth pitcher to win the American League Cy Young Award unanimously and joined Gaylord Perry and Randy Johnson as the only pitchers to win the honor in both leagues.
Martinez, 23-4 with a 2.07 ERA for the Boston Red Sox, received all 28 first-place votes and totaled 140 points in balloting announced yes-
Baltimore's Mike Mussina was next, getting 16 second-place votes and six thirds for 54 points, followed by New York Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera with 27 points and Cleveland pitcher Bartolo Colon with 14.
The only previous unanimous American League winners were Denny McLain (1988), Ron Guidry
terdary by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
(1978) and Roger Clemens (1986 and 1998).
Two years ago, Martinez won the National League Cy Young Award for Montreal and gave it to Hall of Famer Juan Marichal. Martinez is keeping this one.
Martinez, a 28-year-old right-hander, started the season 15-2, putting himself in position to become baseball's first 30-game winner since McLain with the 1968 Detroit Tigers.

"I think my best chance was this year," Martinez said. "I think it could happen but it's going to be really difficult to get. The way the rotation is these days, you have to get every break. It's almost like being perfect for one year."
Martinez also is the co-favorite for the American League Most Valuable Player award with Cleveland's Manny Ramirez. That award will be announced tomorrow.

HAWKINS
Nolan Cromwell gave up a chance for the Olympics in the decathlon when he was switched to quarterback on the Kansas football team. He later was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams. Courtesy of Sports Information
Cromwell set many school records
Continued from page 1B
He set Kansas records in the 400- and 600-yard runs, the intermediate hurdles and the decathlon.
"That decathlon record — he set that with just a day or two of practice," Timmons said.
When Cromwell set that record, Timmons had visions of his star making a push for the Olympics. But when Cromwell was switched to quarterback on the football team, time finally ran out.
"When you're the quarterback, there's a lot that comes with that," Timmons said. "We knew when he was switched that he wouldn't have time to concentrate on 10 events."
Timmons and Cromwell's track teammates were disappointed but understanding.
"We certainly would have liked to have the opportunity to push him in the decathlon," Timmons said. "But he did a wonderful job as quarterback. It would have been selfish of us to take the attitude of being upset or disturbed."
Cromwell justified his move to quarterback. Despite taking snaps in just 18 games, he ranks ninth in school history for rushing as a quarterback. His 1,124 yards rushing in 1975 was the third-highest total in NCAA history at the time. His 294 yards
rushing against Oregon State in 1975 set an NCAA record that stood for 15 years.
"He could do the things that you just can't coach." Fambrough said. "He was ideal in that option offense because of his running ability. He couldn't throw that well, but when you run like he did, that doesn't matter much."
Perhaps Cromwell's most memorable moment came in a 1975 football game when he led the
Jayhawks to a 23-3 upset against No. 2 Oklahoma. It was Oklahoma's only defeat in its national championship season and ended the Sooners' 28-game winning streak and 37-game unbeaten streak.
What's more, Cromwell didn't throw a pass that game.
"At the time, it was the greatest win I've been associated with." Cromwell said in 1992. He has since earned a Super Bowl ring
in 1996 as a coach for the Green Bay Packers.
It was a great game by the defense the second half," he said.
With his dominance in football and track, Cromwell was an easy choice as the 1976-77 Big Eight Athlete of the Year.
"He was just so likable," Timmons said. "He had lots of confidence but not a big ego. Guys liked to have him on the team and were terribly proud of how good he was at football."
Fambrough said: "He had great character. He was a leader, had all the qualities you're always looking for and can't quite find in a young man. You can find some of them in a lot of different people, but not all in one like Nolan had. He's the kind of player coaches dream about."
Cromwell was picked in the second round — 31st overall — of the 1977 draft by the Los Angeles Rams as a defensive back. He was named to the Pro Bowl four times, was the NFC Defensive Player of the Year in 1980 and the Defensive Back of the Year in 1984 (Football Digest). He is the Rams' all-time leader in interception return yardage with 671 yards on 37 interceptions.
After seven years coaching with the Green Bay Packers, Cromwell went with Coach Mike Holmgren to Seattle, where he is a wide receivers coach.

Rock climbing club members take sports to new heights
By Jason Walker sports@kanson.com Kansan sportswriter
Mount Everest. watch out.
The Kansas rock climbing club has been scaling rock walls all semester. The club practices a sport that can be extreme, dangerous and even deadly. It is one of the more unique club sports.
Bryan Caldwell, Gardner senior and club president, said that safety was the most important thing for club members.
"We've only had one accident since the start of the club," he said. "We don't want to overrun our members with rules, but we have to be safe."
The club practices three times a week on artificial rock-climbing walls at 207 Robinson Center. The walls of Robinson aren't challenging enough for the club, so members have to take to the road in search of cliffs and mountains.
"Our favorite place is Sam's Throne, Ark," Caldwell said. "We've been there twice this semester. We want to take trips, so we can get outside."
Caldwell said that practicing indoors at Robinson was fun but that he wanted to make sure the members of the club got some good outdoor experience.
"We want to be outside, so we can camp," he said. "We're not afraid to get out there and get after it."
The rock climbing club offers an opportunity for students to participate in a sport that is not really indigenous to Kansas. Caldwell said that because cliffs and mountains were virtually
Sport of the week
nonexistent in Kansas, the club was forced to travel to neighboring states to satisfy its lust for climbing.
"Last year, we took 50 people to Colorado," he said. "And we have taken trips to New Mexico and Texas. As long as we can get somewhere in about 12 hours, we're happy. We're up for anything."
Shelly Ragsdale, McKinney, Texas, freshman, said that she found out about the club while practicing on the climbing wall and that she decided she would give the club a try. She said that she had never climbed before but that it was something she had always wanted to do.
"I had meant to do it before but just never went," she said. "Now I have gone on a couple of trips. It's fun, and the people are really laid back."
Ragsdale said she was in the club for fun but that she might try a more challenging climb if one came along.
"I'm not very competitive, but if I get good enough, I may," she said.
Caldwell said that the social aspect of the club was important because it took a lot of the athlete's trust in other climbers to help them successfully complete a climb.
He also said that he wanted the climbers to learn that there was more out there in the world than what they thought.
"We want to open their eyes to see that there's more out there than big cities and people, (to) show them nature and that we don't need to keep building buildings. I want them to know that there's a whole world out there that they can explore at any time."

"I want them to know that there's a whole world out there that they can explore at any time."
Caldwell also said that he invited anyone interested to stop by the club's practice each week at 9 p.m. Monday, 7 p.m. Wednesday or 4 p.m. Friday at 207 Robinson. He said that anyone could participate. The club would supply all of the necessary equipment.
He also said that the club had the potential to take rock climbing to a new level.
"We can take it as far as we want," he said.

"Yo quiero Taco Bell" meant "vaya al carcel"—"go to jail"—for Dion Rayford yesterday morning.
Rayford, a senior defensive end for the Kansas football team, was arrested for assault, criminal damage and transporting an open container after a tantrum at a fast food restaurant
At 2:10 a.m., Rayford went to Taco
Bell, 1408 W. 23rd St. He ordered food, and when he didn't get the
proper order, he started to get upset, Lawrence police said.
Rayford was missing a chalupa.
Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler said Rayford got out of his car and tried to attack the three female employees inside.

through window. The window could not support him and broke. Rayford was stuck hanging halfway.
"When you take a big guy and put him through a small space, something's got to give." Wheeler said.
The employees ran to the back of the store and called the police. No injuries were reported.
Wheeler said when police arrived, they removed Rayford from the window. He was arrested and spent the night in jail.
Rayford was arraigned at 4 p.m. at the Douglas County Jail. Judge Paula Martin entered a plea of not guilty and released Rayford on his own recognition. His next court appearance is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Dec. 2 at Douglas County Court.
As a condition of his release,
Martin ordered Rayford to avoid all contact with Taco Bell or witnesses.
A Taco Bell manager refused to comment on the incident.
In a statement issued yesterday, Kansas football coach Terry Allen said Rayford was suspended from playing in Saturday's game against Iowa State, the final game of the 1999 season.
"I'm disappointed for the young man and frustrated as a coach to be put in the position to suspend someone from the final game of their career," Allen said. "But we can't tolerate that type of behavior in our program."
Allen indicated senior Jeremy Hanak would replace Rayford in the starting lineup.

College lifestyle poses challenges for students with the disease

editor, eventually could go completely blind because he neglected his chronic disease — type 1 diabetes — during his four years in college.
Obermueller:
experienced difficuities with his diabetes in college
Most college students don't have to worry about drinking a few beers on a Friday night. Most college students can call a
sugary cola and a candy bar lunch. Most college students can spend an evening lounging on the couch eating potato chips.
But for diabetics, any one of these things can upset the tight control they are supposed to have of their lives and bodies.
According to the American Diabetes Association, an estimated 500,000 to 1 million people have type 1 diabetes, a disease requiring regular injections of insulin and strict control of diet and physical activity.
It's a regimen completely at odds with the college lifestyle.
"I wish that I had paid more attention," Obermueller said. He now works as a copy editor for the Colorado Springs Gazette. "It does require really constant watching."
Richard Guthrie, a Wichita specialist in diabetes, agrees that college is a dangerous trial for diabetics.
"It's not a very good situation," he said of university life. "Activity is erratic; food is erratic."
A difficult history
Doctors diagnosed diabetes in Obermueler when he was 8 years old.
He had the common symptoms of type 1 diabetes — weight loss, constant thirst, frequent trips to the bathroom. Tests showed his pancreas wasn't producing insulin, the hormone that allows sugar from foods to be absorbed into the body.
In other words, no matter how much he ate, Obermueller was starving to death.
Obermueller learned about the daily injections of insulin needed to substitute for the function of the pancreas. He learned about checking his blood sugar to determine how well his body was absorbing sugar. He learned about how regular physical activity and a healthy diet would help
His mother recognized the symptoms, and he was whisked to St. Francis Hospital in Wichita for a two-week stay. As a child, Obermuwang was expected to understand his disease and take care of it.
"At that point in your life you haven't developed any of your bad habits yet," he said.

Add/drop stressful for students who are missing forms, required signatures
By Amanda Kaschube
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students who want to add or drop a class for next semester can start today as long as they have all the proper forms and signatures.
Most student are ill-informed about the add/drop process, and it leads them to be confused and aggrassed with the whole process, said Brenda Selman, associate registrar.
"My best advice is to be well prepared and to not listen to hearsay," she said. "Most students get frustrated because they do not read the instructions properly."
All University schools require a dean's stamp at some point in the add/drop process, and most also require an adviser's signature. Each school sets its own standards, Selman said.
A student's first step in the add/drop process
should be to pick up an add/drop form from 150 Strong Hall or from the dean's office in their school. Next, students should refer to the charts on page 22 of the Timetable of Classes to find out if a dean's stamp is necessary.
Selman said students should call or come to the enrollment center if they had any questions or problems with the form.
Dee Ozment, undergraduate records officer for the School of Education, said the school required the
DEAN'S STAMP

dean's stamp for the student's protection.
Pharmacy: always
Social Welfare: always
"We want to make sure students take the right classes in order to graduate," she said. "Some classes are only offered once a year, and we don't want them to miss it because they didn't think they needed it."
Several other schools, including the architecture, engineering and journalism schools, use the stamp to monitor a student's class progression.
Barb Seba, administrative assistant for the School of Architecture, said one wrong class could delay a student's graduation.
"We want to make sure that students don't make the wrong call on changing their classes," Seba said. "Architecture students have sequential studios, and they can't miss one."
Other schools use the dean's stamp requirement to ensure classes keep harmony between their class sizes.
"We want to keep balance between sections and classes," said Vicki Mignot, student services officer for the School of Social Welfare. "We just want to double-check that we don't have five students in one section and 30 in another."
Students can add or drop classes through Dec.
1. However, Selman said she encouraged students to go either today or tomorrow to avoid the rush.
Selman also had a bit of advice for students who want to change their spring schedule.
"Make sure you read all the instructions carefully," she said.
Department heads have say in evacuation decision
— Edited by Allan Davis

Kansan staff writer
A week after two separate bomb threats forced the evacuation of four buildings at the University of Kansas, the incidents still are under investigation.
"These two incidents were the University's first bomb threats in over two years," Mailen said. "In the past four years, counting these two most recent threats, the University has had a total of six."
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said his office did not have any suspects at the time.
Mailen said that in 1986, when the office received reports of three bomb threats during the course of the academic year, the University developed a policy on how deal with these types of situations.
"One of the policies discussed was how to deal
with classes that were in the process of taking tests," Malen said. "The solution that was decided on was to relocate the class to another building on campus if their instructor wished to do so."
Another part of the policy is that, in some cases, department heads are given the choice whether to evacuate their departments and classes.
David M. Katzman, professor and chairman of the American Studies department, said he has had to deal with bomb threats in the past and didn't like having to make the decision.
At least one department chairman 'is not pleased with even having that option.
"The decision should be in the hands of an expert who has been trained to deal with situations like a bomb threat," Katzman said. "It's irresponsible to leave it in the hands of a department head or instructor who may have never dealt with a situation like this before."
Even if a bomb goes off only once out of every 10,000 threats, that's too great a risk. Therefore,
buildings should be evacuated, Katzman said.
Mailen said his office always gave the department heads information about the nature of the call and its recommendation.
"Our department does have the power to evacuate a building whenever we feel it is necessary, and our procedure for searching a building does not change," Mailen said.
David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs,
said that the KU Public Safety Office knew how
serious a threat could be and that it gave detailed
information to department heads so that a decision
could be made that was in everyone's best interests.
"One of the things they were looking at was to make sure that the individuals who made the calls were not able to disrupt classes," Ambler said. "We are all mindful of the safety of students and faculty, and we don't want to take chances with their lives."

Withdrawal instructions incorrect in timetable
Students who want to withdraw from their fall semester classes have been reading the wrong information.
According to the Fall Timetable of Classes, students need to petition through their college in order to receive permission to withdraw.
But, Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said students only need the signature of their instructor.
"We were concerned because students who think they need to petition the college may not approach us," she said. "The timetable has the old information from last semester."
If the instructor approves the withdrawal and the student is passing the class, the student will receive a "W" on their transcript. However, the student will not receive a refund.

KU students to volunteer in Dominican Republic
Students may withdraw from their classes until the last day of classes. Dec. 7.
Some University of Kansas students are organizing their own alternative spring break.
With the sponsorship of Village Presbyterian Church of Prairie Village, between eight and 10 students are taking a medical mission trip to the Dominican Republic.
Most of the students are from Lewis Hall, but Michael Bunn, Overland Park sophomore and Ellsworth Hall resident, said he was looking forward to going along on this trip, his second trip to the Dominican Republic.
"I went one spring." Bunn said.
"And that's how I got hooked."
And that's how I got hooked.
In order to raise the money for the trip, the students will make apple pies at Hy-Vee Food and Drug Store, 3504 Clinton Parkway, Nov. 20 and Nov. 21. With each pie sold, $1 will go toward the students' trip.
Bunn said the group would work as doctors' assistants while in the Dominican Republic, taking blood pressures, weighing patients, filling prescriptions and preparing medical equipment. He said the group also would engage in light construction projects.
Bunn said his favorite thing about the mission trip, which he went on during spring break of his senior year in high school, was learning about the culture on the island.
"I like being able to experience another culture and help people in this way," Bunn said. "Also, it's a great way to make friends of another culture."

Texas student wounded after handgun discharge
DICKINSON, Texas — A 15-year-old was critically wounded at his school yesterday when a handgun accidentally discharged while a student was showing it off before classes, police said.
Two students at Dickinson High School southeast of Houston were being questioned about the shooting, in which the boy was hit in the face police said.
"It kid of freaked me out," said student James Joplin, who heard the shot. "The whole time I was thinking somebody could walk through this door and just shoot me right here."
After an ambulance took the injured boy away, police confined students to classrooms and scoured the campus for the weapon. The gun was recovered three hours later when a student led police to a hiding place in a nearby apartment complex.
The injured boy was in critical condition at University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, said representative Alicia Simmons.
Classes resumed later in the day.
Woman attacked by man with brick in New York
NEW YORK — A Texan who moved to New York a year ago was fighting for her life yesterday after a deranged man bashed her in the head with a brick in a random, unprovoked attack in the middle of the day near busy Grand Central Terminal.
Nicole Barrett, 27, underwent brain surgery and lay in critical condition at Bellevue Hospital.
Barrett, who was on her last day of work at the Taylor Grey temp agency, was returning to her Madison Avenue office after getting a haircut Tuesday afternoon when a man slammed a 6-pound paving stone into the back of her head, muttered something and fled into the crowd on 42nd Street.
"He just came out of the blue and assaulted her," Police Commissioner Howard Safir said.
As Barrett collapsed in a pool of blood, several bystanders chased the attacker without success.
Nations give $1 billion for Kosovo rebuilding
WORLD
BRUSSELS, Belgium — Donor nations and international organizations promised $1 billion yesterday to help rebuild war-ravaged Kosovo.
"There is no further need for pledging until 2001. We went over the expectations we had," said Christianaan Poortman, organizer of the one-day Kosovo Donors Conference.
The funds were pledged by 47 countries and 34 international organizations attending the conference, which was sponsored by the European Commission and the World Bank.
Donors also agreed to work out a five-year commitment to fund reconstruction.
DUZCE, Turkey — Four days after being buried in rubble by a devastating earthquake, a woman was pulled barely conscious from the remains of her apartment house yesterday, even as rescuers prepared to end their search for survivors.
Woman found alive amid earthquake rubble
"Her condition is still critical due to kidney malfunction. We are doing our best," physician Emre Gorgun said.
Sefa Cebeci, 42; was buried 105 hours in a mountain of crumbled concrete that was once a six-story building. Discovered by Israeli rescuers and ferried by helicopter to Istanbul, 130 miles to the west, she faced amputation of her crushed right arm and was fighting for her life.
Despite the miraculous rescue, search teams continued packing up, saying no one else is likely to have survived amid the rain and winter cold.

Germany to open files for those bred in program
BERLIN — Records of children born under a Nazi project to breed a German master race will be opened to the children now trying to track down their roots, a representative from the federal archives said yesterday.
A television report said the archives held files of some 1,000 children born from Adolf Hitler's quest for a race of blond, blue-eyed and tall Germans. The files could help some identify the parents of those children who did not meet the Nazi racist criteria and were sent to orphanages.
An archives representative, Wilhelm Lenz, confirmed that the agency has records on some of the children, but he said many files were incomplete and he could not confirm the figure of 1,000.

Today, Jay Sexton will interview at the home of the British Consulate in Chicago for a chance to be the University of Kansas' first Marshall scholar in six years.
"Iam honored to have been selected," Sexton said. "Now I feel like I have some control over whether or not I am going to be selected because I am going to be interviewed."
going to be selected because I am going to be interviewed." The Marshall scholarship is a full-ride scholarship up to three years of post-graduate work at any university in Britain.
Sexton, Salina senior, is competing against 20 other finalists in the Midwest region. The 20 finalists were selected from 180 applicants.
Barbara Schowen, director of the Honors Program, said each region would select at least four finalists for up to 40 Marshall finalists. Winners will be announced in early December.
Schowen said Sexton would be a great candidate for the scholarship because he was well qualified.
"Jay is a very talented young scholar, and he will hold up wonderfully in the interview," she said. "He is a wonderful person who cares about others."
ON CAMPUS
When Sexton studied at Oxford University last year, he did extensive research about Anglo-American relations during the U.S. Civil War.
"Iam committed to continue my research on mid-19th century Ando-American relations." Sexton said.
The British government established the Marshall scholarship in 1953 to show its gratitude to the United States for the establishment of the Marshall Plan. Six KU students have won Marshall scholarships, the last one going to Munro Richardson in 1994.

Holocaust survivor shares terror
Judy Jacobs tells about her ordeal to honor victims
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
"You are now in the Bergen-
Belson concentration camp. Not
Lisbon, not freedom."
These words, spoken by a Nazi soldier, were the first sounds then 7-year-old Judy Jacobs heard in 1941 when she got off what she thought was a train to freedom.
Jacobs, a Holocaust survivor, shared her experience with about 50 people at the Burge Union last night.
Jacobs' journey to Bergen-Belson began in her native Hungary. She and her parents thought they were
Jacobs said her experience with the Nazis on the train and at the camp did not involve physical abuse, but verbal assault.
part of a select group of 1,800 Jews who had been given clearance to evacuate to Portugal through a series of bribs and false promises with the Nazis.
Jacobs and the others got their first surprise at the train station when they were not directed to the passenger train they were promised, but to a cattle train.
"We were provided no food, no water, no sanitary facilities," Jacobs said.
Several days later, the train's doors opened, revealing northern Germany instead of Portugal.
Despite living off what her father estimated to be about 350 calories a day, she and her family survived. Once the prisoners were released, they were placed on a passenger train with heating, were fed chocolate and sardines, and were taken to Switzerland.
"Each and every one had a machine gun and the foulest mouths I'd ever heard," she said. "They never touched us, but the verbal abuse was unbearable. We were vermin. We were swine. We

didn't deserve to live. If you hear this every day for months, it doesn't do much for your self-esteem."
"People who were your best friends resulted to stealing and living," she said.
Jacobs said she gave speeches about her experience because she wanted to honor the victims and also because she wanted historical accuracy.
"Even though I possibly appear
moderately normal, a lot is missing," Jacobs said. "The psychological toll has been devastating."
Leslie Hendrix, Coffeyville junior, said she went to the speech because she was taking a Holocaust literature class. She said the absence of physical abuse in Jacobs' experience was different from the experiences she had read about in her class.
"This was different to get not only a woman's perspective, but a child's, too," she said.
KU Hillel sponsored the event in coordination with the department for multicultural leadership and the Russian and East European studies department.
Michelle Hammer, an Overland Park senior who helped organize the event, said she heard of Jacobs through the Midwest Center for Holocaust Education in Overland Park.

Smokeout aims to extinguish smoking
Nine million smokers will put out their smokes tomorrow and will participate in the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout. Photo illustration by Lucas Krupm/KANSAN

Kansas staff writer
By Amber Stuever
The American Cancer Society is urging people to stop blowing smoke and make today the first day of their smoke-free lives.
Today is the 23rd annual American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout.
"What they encourage people to do is give up cigarettes for at least one day in hopes of instilling permanent smoking cessation in the smoking population," said Patricia Denning, Watkins Memorial Health Center physician.
The event encourages the 47 million smokers in the United States to kick the habit to try to prevent some of the 430,700 deaths each year caused by the effects of cigarettes. According to the American Cancer Society, one in five deaths is caused by smoking, the top cause of cancer deaths in both men and women.
However, Watkins staff said college smokers were bothered by the more imminent effects of cigarette smoking. Students who quit smoking will see immediate effects such as fewer colds, fewer trips to the doctor, changes in teeth discoloration, skin appearance, bad breath, wrinkles and odor.
Jeff Reed, Kansas City, Mo. junior, is one of the 28.7 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds who smoke. Tomorrow, however, Reed will join the nine million smokers nationwide who will participate in the smokeout.
"It gives people a reason to quit," Reed said. "A lot of people are looking for a reason to quit, and here's a big one — everyone pulling together."
"If you can stop for just one day, you can stop for the next day and the day after that," Boyer said.
Jen Boyer, El Dorado senior, quit smoking this semester. Already she feels better and her blood pressure has dropped. Boyer said the smokeout was a great start for those trying to quit.
Some smokers, however, don't see the point in quitting for a day.
"It depends on whether or not you plan on really stopping," said Danielle Stubbs, Shawne freshman. "I think if you want to quit, you'll quit. It's a personal choice."
Julie Francis, Watkins health educator, said smokers must decide for themselves when the best time is to extinguish the habit.
"They may not be ready to quit right now," Francis said. "It's just a great time to bring the issue to the forefront."
The smokeout aims to increase established smokers' awareness of strategies and reasons to quit. Since 80 percent of those smokers started before they were 18, the American Cancer Society also aims to communicate to children the disadvantages of smoking.
Many sources are available for students wanting to kick the habit. Watkins offers help at the Health Promotions office at 864-9570. The Watkins pharmacy offers nicotine patches, gum and other aids at a discount. The American Cancer Society is also a source of aid at 1-800-ACS-2345.

As the fall semester winds down, the relevance of Student Senate bills is suffering, some senators say.
The last legislative cycle of the semester ended last Friday, which means Senate will not consider any new legislation until next semester. This semester's last Senate meeting is Wednesday.
Committees passed two bills to fund student organizations, three bills to amend rules and regulations and one resolution last night. And that, according to Drew Thompson, Nunemaker senator, shows Senate isn't doing enough.
"It seems to me like there's a lack of substantive legislation," he said. "But that's as much my fault as anyone's. It's the responsibility of all senators."
Senate meetings are renowned for lasting several hours; one of the campaign goals of Student Body President Korb Maxwell and Vice President Dede Seibel was to curb their length. Last week's meeting ran for little more than an hour.
Senibel said the lag in legislation probably was because the semester's end was nearing. Nonetheless, she said Senate had worked on some outstanding things
- a course retake policy and a service learning policy, for example. Major cam
plant issues such as integrated citywide transportation and a campus safety master plan should come to fruition next semester, she said.
Since the semester began, eight senators have either resigned their seats or lost them because of excessive absences. Student Executive committee chair Marlon Marshall has said that number was slightly more than it was at the same time last year.
Seibel said some senators dropped out because Senate wasn't for them.
"Ultimately, personal preferences take root," she said. "And for graduate and professional students, it's hard to allocate time and resources when they're in such rigorous programs."
Adam Godderz resigned his seat last Wednesday. Formerly a graduate senator, he is a second-year law student and a graduate student in the School of Business. He said he didn't have enough time to devote to Senate, and that it ranked third on his list of priorities, after work and school.
Still, he said Senate had done a good job of reaching out to students and was productive on several
STUDENT SENATE COMMITTEES:
In other business, committees approved:
Three bills to amend Senate rules and regulations
A bill to allocate $3,925 to KU Filmmarks
A bill to allocate $166.55 to the Course Content subcommittee

issues
Aravind Muthukrishnan, Finance committee chairman and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said students were equally responsible for effecting change in Senate.
"It all depends on what the pressing issues are," he said. "If there's nothing students raise hell about, there's only so much Student Senate can do."
After debating for an hour and suspending rules and regulations,

Debate centered around whether Senate should
pay for one group's computer when several computers in the Office of Organizations and Leadership were outdated.
Erin Simpson, college senator,
said it would be improper to deny
OAKS the money because Senate
used money to buy a new computer
for its office.
"It's absurd to buy ourselves a computer with the same set of funds and deny it to them," she said.
The committee failed an amendment to allocate $5,000 from Senate's reserve account — which contains more than $300,000 — for four computers for the O&L office.
Aaron Quisenberry, O&L director, said the amendment would have been the right thing to pass.
"I'm in favor of giving a lot of groups access to a group of computers," he said. "But money is the bottom line."
Michael Henry, non-traditional senator, said OAKS needed the computer because the newsletter served as the voice of an often-overlooked group of students.
"There's no other way for them to express their views," he said.

Fraternity bus riders need to follow same regulations as other patrons
Last week, the men of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity took issue with KU On Wheels and then took the issue into their own hands. Those who feel entitled to special catering must look at the grand scale and ask if their situation truly warrants special consideration.
Six greek houses call Stewart Avenue home, and KU on Wheels has established three official bus stops to service this stretch. Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity sits diagonally across the street from the Tau Kappa Epsilon house. Buses pull into the Tau Kappa Epsilon driveway, a location selected for its safety and proximity to both houses. Drivers are required to wait a certain period of time as to allow those
Requiring Lambda Chi Alpha men to walk across the street to the bus stop is not asking too much
wishing to board to reach the bus. Lambda Chi Alpha members felt that they were being treated unfairly and inconsistently by KU bus drivers.
According to KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Bus Company, Stewart Avenue is notorious for the poor behavior of its bus patrons. Students often have tried to use fake bus passes and have expressed a vocal disdain at the concept of paying to ride.
Problems wholly unique to
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity members warranted a meeting between the house, KU on Wheels and Lawrence Bus Company. But not until the men of Lambda Chi Alpha had staged a little homespun civil disobedience, where at least one individual lay prostrate in front of a moving bus and someone beat on the bus itself. Fearing the prospect of having to walk 50 feet across the street to board at the current stop, the fraternity along with KU on Wheels is working to secure a bus zone in front of their house. No man ever would need walk to class again. Sure, all students would like a bus stop outside their front door, but simple logistics require them to be a bit more practical.

Don't take risk of drunken driving
It's simple, really. Don't drink and drive.
"But I'm a good drunken driver," he saves, turning the key in the ignition.
Chances are he is not a "good" drunken driver, and chances are he won't get caught. But why take the chance?
Ask 24-year-old Micah Stegall if he was a "good" drunken driver. Ask 20-year-old Manuel Lee Brown if he was a "good" drunken driver. Ask them if it was worth taking the chance.
Stegall, a Lawrence police officer on administrative leave, last week pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and battery. Earlier this year, he hit a bicyclist with his Jeep after having too many drinks at a downtown bar. Awaiting sentencing, he faces up to six months in jail and 100 hours of community service.
People operating vehicles while intoxicated have resulted in several recent local tragedies
Brown, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. Neither were Ray "Mike" Red Elk, Yancy Longhat, Albert Whitebull nor Clint Wahquaboshuk, the four Haskell Indian Nations University students riding in the bed of Brown's Chevy pickup when it flipped over at a railroad crossing in the early hours of Aug. 29. They can't tell you if Brown was a "good" drunken driver. They're dead.
But Stegall was lucky.
driving under the influence, aggravated battery and driving while intoxicated. Brown's real punishment, however, is living with the guilt of having taken the lives of friends and classmates.
Brown turned himself in last week on a warrant for involuntary mlaaughter,
Drink and drive, and face the consequences. But it's not that simple.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving reports that stricter penalties for drunken driving haven't decreased the fatalities. Each year, more than 20 percent of all traffic deaths result from drunken drivers.
Drunken driving is a social problem that stiffer punishments won't solve. It is an individual responsibility not to get behind the wheel after drinking. Don't find out for yourself, either. Learn from Stegall. Learn from Brown. There's no such thing as a "good" drunken driver.

Today, we turn our health consciousness to the Great American Smokeout. It is this day that smokers make an extra effort to kick their habit. Well, if you happen to be a smoker and don't think you have enough will power to accomplish this goal, J

have an alternative that doesn't require much effort. only reading.
I resent the amount of disregard administrators and smokers have for the non-smoking population. It is bad enough that you blow smoke in my face as our paths cross on Jayhawk Boulevard, but I will not allow you to perpetuate your bad habit where campus policy has been established. It is unfortunate that smoking on this campus has become so commonplace that only one entrance per building has to be designated as a "no smoking" entrance, but the fact of the matter is that many of us aim to lead healthy lives and that right is being slowly taken away.
Be aware students, because I will not hesitate to demand that a faculty or administrator physically make you put out your light or move. The same goes for the University administration because I will not allow you to "blow smoke" on this one.
As I approach Smith Hall for my religion class, I find myself focused on those little white letters on the entrance door that state, "No Smoking Within 20 Feet of this Entrance." I smile with pride because the University of Kansas administration finally has heeded to the voice of non-smoking students who just want to be able to walk into a building without
Unfortunately, that isn't the end of the story. My concern is with students' actions; my problem is with the University administration It have done nothing to enforce this policy or protect the inherent rights of non-smokers. In fact, administrators have made the decision to place ashtrays within twenty feet of these entrances, thus sending the message that it is OK for the smoking community to violate this policy. When I contacted Facilities Operations and the University ambulman, I was told that the decision to replace the ashtrays was made because there was a concern with the amount of ash and cigarette butts that were ruining the landscape.

I stop dead in my tracks as I watch seven students and a professor light up and puff on their cancer sticks. I am completely in awe. Do these students and this professor not see the sign? Or, has their habit taken such control of them that the need for a nicotine fix dictates a complete disregard for campus policy and student rights?
It really doesn't matter to me because my next step is to proceed to the administrative office of Smith Hall and demand that a faculty member makes the smokers, including the professor, put their lights out or move twenty feet from the door. In the meantime, I stand there with a mischievous grin as everyone
drafts two quick puffs while cursing me.

Feedback
Creation theories not scientific
Leonard Magruder, President of the KU chapter of Vietnam Veterans for Academic Reform, dismisses evolution as "an illusion to protect the intellectual elite from... the question of the existence of God." In so doing he cites philosopher Karl Popper, who is perhaps best know for his assertion that, because it is so difficult to conclusively prove a scientific theory to be true, one should only expect to be able to prove it false. Evolutionary theorists can describe innumerable examples of data that, if authentic, would falsify evolutionary models. However, Creationists, if asked to describe data that would cause them to reject the theory of a divine Creation, remain silent. Evolutionary theory is scientific because it is falsifiable. Creationist theories are not scientific because they are not falsifiable. It is impossible to conceive of any data to prove conclusively that God does not exist. It is for this reason, and not "ontological anxiety" that science is not concerned with the existence of God.

Freedom of speech includes blasphemy
I am writing in response to the front page article on the new movie "Dogma" (Friday, Nov. 12). Normally protests of movies don't interest me much, but my attention was caught by a particular quote. Jeanine Blanck, organizer of Friday evening's protest of the movie, said "Freedom of expression does not include the right to blaspheme God." Oh, contrate! Perhaps Ms. Blanck has heard of something called the Constitution? The First Amendment of this crazy little document very specifically gives me, Kevin Smith, creator of the movie, and everyone else, the right to say, write and create anything that might fall into the category of what Ms. Blanck calls blasphemy. That same Amendment also gives me the right not to consider it blasphemy when I find a movie about fallen angels funny. (Although I haven't seen it and probably won't.) The writers of the Constitution added this amendment specifically so that we would all be able to

This intersection is still dangerous as I have almost been in accidents at that particular location. Lowering the speed limit around that area will not and has not solved the problem. We all know that speed limits are broken.
I recall reading in yesterday's Kansan that another KU student was injured at the intersection of 15th & Engel. The article further reported that Student Senate had investigated the problem and recommended a four-way stop and that the only action taken was to decrease the speed limit to 20 mph.
Solution needed for dangerous intersection
Does a student have to be seriously injured or killed before we take action to eliminate this hazard and ensure the safety of our constituents? Now, I do admit that the bureaucratic machine is slow, but this is one instance where action needs to be taken immediately.
I would strongly recommend that the Campus Traffic Safety Board place the 15th and Engel intersection as one of its highest priorities to be examined this year. In addition, I would encourage the members of the board and my fellow colleagues in the Senate to not accept limited budgets or bureaucrate red tape as excuses to refrain from intervention.
We have the responsibility to the student body to take any and all necessary means to make this campus as safe as humanly possible. To ignore this duty is a great injustice to the ideals of representative student government.
The problem of the 15th and Engel intersection has been ignored for long enough, and we need to solve the problem
Christian Lutz graduate student senator
now.
I would welcome any feedback in regards to this situation.
Schultes notes that "people have been having sex for thousands of years" and asserts that, as such, sex is an irrelevant subject. People have also been eating for thousands of years, but I doubt she has protested the Kansan's restaurant reviews or occasional cooking recipes. Eating food and having sexuality are both essential acts of being human, and thus both are worthy of being written about, discussed and enjoyed.
Sex is not irrelevant
As for Erin Downing's letter to the editor and her disgust with the discussion of vibrators and sex toys, I have to wonder if anyone forced her to the read the article. If she knew that the subject matter was something that would disgust her, then she should not have read it. I, for one, appreciate any open discussion of sex toys or masturbation. I can't imagine how one's using a dildo could result in abortion, the spread of disease or even the breaking up of a family, so I would have expected her to endorse the practice as a safe alternative to conventional sex.
Sex is an integral part of a person's life, and the Kansan was at no fault for writing about it in last week's Sex on the Hill section.
Andreletta Schultes recently implied in her guest column that the sex writers were "too lazy to go out and find a real story." Perhaps Schultes did not know that the Sex section is a Kansan tradition and had been planned on months in advance. She might as well say (and this time I might be more inclined to agree, having no traditional school spirit) that the homecoming-themed section was a waste of paper because homecoming is not news.
If Schultes and Downing both will promise not to scold the Kansan for printing quite reasonable subject matter, I'll promise to keep my "toy" collection well out of their sight.

At home among shops, bars
Residents encounter perks, problems living in downtown locale
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
For most University of Kansas students, Massachusetts Street is a place to hang out, shop, catch a bite to eat or go to clubs.
But for some students, Massachusetts Street is also home. Some of the same stores, restaurants and bars students frequent have apartments on their upper levels.
Wade Cartwright, Lawrence senior, has lived in his small, one-bedroom Massachusetts Street apartment located above La Parrilla restaurant, 814 Massachusetts St., for a year and a half.
He said the old, red brick building costs a lot to heat because of its large windows. The age of the building also had its drawbacks, such as the time when a large piece of the ceiling fell, covering his living room with plaster chips.
Noise from area restaurants and bars could be distracting, and he said he often ate out at area restaurants, an expensive habit that costs him up to $50 a week.
But Cartwright said he loved it.
But Cartwright said he loved it. "It's a beautiful apartment," he said. "It's nice not living in a cookie-cutter apartment complex."
Cartwright said he enjoyed living in an area that was not heavily populated with students.
"You get a sense of community from seeing the same people everyday," he said. "I know a lot of my neighbors now, and a lot of them are people who work full time and who have lived down here for about 10 years."
Cartwright walks less than a block to the bus stop each day to get to and from campus. He said he parked his car in a parking garage in north Lawrence and left it there for months at a time. He also was able to walk to Milton's Coffee & Wine, 920 Massachusetts St., where he works part time during the weekends. He said the convenience of the bus system and the difficulty of finding a place to park near Massachusetts Street have made his car more of a hassle than a help.
"I've gotten a ton of tickets when I park and forget to pay the meter," he said, adding that his parking tickets from the last year and half would total at least a couple hundred dollars.
Leonard Maguder, a 71-year-old Lawrence graduate student, has lived in apartments on Massachusetts Street for 14 years. Currently, his home is located above Hannah's Appliance & TV, 933 Massachusetts St.
He said the frequent noise from the nearby Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., was problematic.
"I don't stay up late enough, so I don't know what's going on a lot of times," Magruder said. "I try to ignore it."
He said he often walked to area coffee shops and restaurants as well as the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., and the Douglas County Senior Services Inc. at Babcock Place, 1700 Massachusetts St.
"I go to the Granada every once in a while." Magruder said. "It's too loud for me, so I just stay in the bar."
He said he also liked to watch the activities on the street, especially parades and political protests, from his four front windows that overlook Massachusetts Street.
"There's always something interesting going on," he said.
Vincent Pigno, Manhattan freshman, lives in Hanover Place, an apartment complex near downtown. He said his location was perfect because it was close enough to walk downtown, but far enough away to avoid the noise and parking hassles.
Courtney Carper, Lincoln, Neb., junior, said she was going to visit a real estate agent this weekend to get some help finding an apartment to rent with two other girls next year.
She also said she preferred buildings with history to new developments.
"I've always wanted to live there," Carper said. "I like that there's not a lot of chains, I love the architecture and the whole atmosphere."

Foreign students have opportunity to enjoy turkey day
Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy and pumpkin pie are standard fare for Thanksgiving dinner. Some University of Kansas international students, however, will be tasting homemade versions for the first time on Thursday.
By BriAnne Hess Special to the Kansan
The Betty Grimwood Thanksgiving Homestay Program offers international students the opportunity to eat at an area family's home during the long weekend. Some families open their homes for students to stay overnight. The program is sponsored by International Student Services. Only 19 of the almost 1,500 international students have signed up to participate.
"It's the first extended break since the students have arrived, and they're starting to experience culture shock and miss being home during the holidays," said Mike Ediger, assistant director of International Student Services. "We try to give them something to do so they aren't staying home by themselves."
This is the second year Janet Adams, Lawrence resident, has volunteered to invite students for dinner. She learned of the program by reading information in the Lawrence Journal-World and contacted Ediger. Last year, she played host to students from the Ukraine and China.
"They especially loved the mashed potatoes and gravy," she said. "Later that year I gave a demonstration on how to make them and gave two of the women a pota-to masher."
Adams said that she thought it was important to expose her three children to other cultures because they lived in a sheltered world and that every family should volunteer.
Adams said that although the Chinese were accustomed to large family gatherings because of the Chinese New Year, the eating style of Americans was new to them.
"Dinner was served buffet-style, and we were all heaping a typical Thanksgiving Day plate," she said. "One woman would put about a teapoonful worth of food on her plate. She had to go back like six times."
The Homestay Program involves families from Lawrence, Lecompton, the Kansas City area, Emporia, McClouth, Peabody and Burns. The program originated in Burns in 1854, when the late Betty Grimwood started to bring international students to Burns for the weekend.
Ikuyasu Usui's first trip in the United States was to Burns last year. The junior from Nagoya, Japan, said he enjoyed the experience but didn't know what he was doing this year.
"It was a good time," he said. "We had a dinner party with small kids and old people. The food was homemade so it was very good — not like the instant mashed potatoes. I was very stuffed."
Other international students are using the time off from classes to travel or catch up on school work. Lynsay Tweedie, Eerdree, Scotland, junior, will go to Des Moines, Iowa, with her roommate to visit her family. Tweedie is looking forward to the break.
"It's a week away from here," she said. "I have to do schoolwork, but it's a break from classes, and I'll get to see more of the U.S."

Researchers find volcanic-like rock
By Todd Halstead

Kansan staff writer
Three volcanic features discovered in northeastern Kansas may contain precious stones and insight to underground geological conditions.
Researchers at the Kansas Geological Survey, based at the University of Kansas, are researching the volcanic features after locating them this summer in Riley and Marshall counties in northeastern and north Kansas respectively. Known as kimberlites, they erupted to the surface about 90 million years ago — but not in a fury of lava.
Kevin Dobbs, research assistant,
said kimberlites formed when carbon dioxide built up deep underground and erupted in a small violent explosion with little magma. The explosion of the three new kimberlites resulted in 300 to 1,500-foot craters.
Dobbs said kimberlite rock contains a lot of calcium carbonate and garnet and is bluish-gray in color. "You might find pieces of rock from 40 miles deep," he said. "It's a good source of where we can learn about the very deep rock in the Earth."
The three kimberlites are among nine others previously discovered in Riley County. They are about 20 feet below the surface on private property.
Pieter Berendsen, Survey researcher, said he asked permission to study the formations from a scientific perspective, not an economic one.
Cominco American, a mining company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, mined several kimberlites in Kansas for diamonds in the 1980s but to no avail. Berendsen said kimberlite sites were exploited throughout the world for diamonds, but that tons of kimberlite were sifted through to produce one carat of diamond.
Berendsen and Dobbs said core samples of rock were taken from the sites this month and would be analyzed for clues on how the kimberlites occurred and on deep surface geology in the region.
"Land owners have been very cooperative in letting us drill at their property," he said.
Berendsen said researchers discovered the kimberlite by using a device that reads the Earth's magnetic surface. He said kimberlites produced unusual readings or signatures because they were composed of volcanic rock and surrounded by sedimentary rocks.
Dobbs said they set up a grid around possible areas and did readings until they found round formations that would signify possible kimberlites.
"It's very interesting," he said.
"It's like detective work — there's something out there, and you're trying to find out where and what it is."

NEWPORT, R.I.—A crewmember, apparently alone in the cockpit of an EgyptAir jetliner, said "I made my decision now" just before the autopilot was turned off and the plane began its fatal plunge, a federal law enforcement official said yesterday.
EgyptAir recorder sheds light on crash
The Associated Press
Moments later, when the plane was diving, the pilot re-entered the cockpit and apparently struggled to regain control of the jetliner, a source close to the investigation said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The focus of the investigation has shifted to the backup co-pilot amid indications that he was at the controls just before the plane crashed into the Atlantic.
"Pull with me. Help me. Pull with me," the pilot said, according to the source.
Although there was no sign of any technical malfunction, it is too early to say whether the crew played any role in the Oct. 31 crash that killed 217 people, investigators said.
The federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Arabic words uttered by the crewmember in the co-pilot seat have been translated to: "I made my decision now. I put my faith in God's hands."
The official said the crewmember, whom he would not name, was believed to be alone in the cockpit at the time and spoke just before the Flight 990's autopilot was turned off.
Earlier, another source close to the investigation said Egyptian
"As long as there are differences in the interpretation and there are significant differences in the cultural interpretations of some expressions on the recorder I think it is unfair ... for us to characterize it."
James Hall
National Transportation Safety Board chairman
The source said the identification came after the airline officials listened to the cockpit voice recorder, one of two "black boxes" recovered from the crash site 60 miles off Nantucket Island.
airline tentatively identified Capt. Gameel el-Batouty as occupying the co-pilot's seat and uttering a prayer just before the autopilot was disengaged. El Batouty, a 59-year-old relief copilot, faced retirement from the state-owned airline early next year.
In Egypt, relatives angrily denied that el-Batouty had sent money home because he planned to commit suicide, describing him as a loving father of five.
Egypt also sent its senior aviation official to Washington to take part in the crash investigation after questioning the need to turn in the probe to the FBI. Such a move is seen as a step toward saying the disaster was the result of a criminal act.
El-Batouty was scheduled to take control much later in the 11-hour New York-to-Cairo flight from co-pilot Adel Anwar. A source said Tuesday the tape showed el-Batouty came to the
cockpit, said he wanted to fly and his request was accepted.
According to the investigators' scenario:
El-Batouty, left alone in the cockpit, said the Arabic phrase that can mean "I put my faith in God's hands," and turned off the autopilot. The plane began a steep plunge from 33,000 feet just after that, regaining some altitude before dropping into the sea. The pilot, Capt. Ahmed Mahmoud el-Habashy, returned to the cockpit and tried to regain control. "Pull with me. Help me. Pull with me," he said, according to the source.
The jet's two engines were effectively shut down during the dive, according to the cockpit data recorder. Sources also said the unusual split in the plane's elevators — flaps on the tail that bend up or down to raise or lift the plane's nose — may have been caused as one pilot tried to lift the plane out of a dive and another forced the controls down.
Investigators are trying to determine whether the two other cockpit crewmembers had re-entered the cockpit from the cabin when the plane was in its dive.
At a news conference Tuesday
in Washington, National Transportation Safety Board Chairman James Hall said no sign of mechanical malfunction has been identified in the crash of the Boeing 767.
But at Egypt's request he stopped short of giving the investigation to the FBI to allow additional Egyptian experts more time to analyze the last recorded words of the pilots so they might contribute more understanding to what was said.
"As long as there are differences in the interpretation — and there are significant differences in the cultural interpretations of some expressions on the recorder — I think it is unfair ... for us to characterize it," he said.
Although the phrase heard on the voice recorder has been described as a prayer, that doesn't mean it was related to the cause of the disaster. Arabic speakers make references to God in everyday statements.
Over the weekend, EgyptAir insisted that el-Habashy and Anwar were in good physical and mental condition, passing checkups in the past five months.
"They were among our best pilots," said Hassan Misharfa, EgyptAir's head of operations. "They had long experience and, in addition to that, they had passed all professional, safety and psychological tests successfully."
The airline did not address the condition of el-Batouty and Capt. Raouf Noureddin, another pilot. U.S. investigators now are studying the background of all crew members.
Open lines could lower Internet cost
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—More residential consumers could obtain high-speed Internet access — and at lower cost — under action anticipated by federal regulators.
Today the Federal Communications Commission is expected to require local telephone companies to share their lines with businesses that want to offer high-speed Internet connections to customers.
Right now, local telephone companies, like the regional Bells and GTE, can offer high-speed Internet services to subscribers on the same lines as they provide their regular voice service. But for outside businesses to come in and sell Internet connections to a consumer, they must buy a sec-
That could make it substantially cheaper for upstart businesses to compete with telephone companies in providing connections dozens of times faster than today's dial-up modems. And consumers might benefit with more choices for services, like certain digital subscriber lines, at competitive prices.
on line from the telephone company into the consumer's home
That means businesses competing with the local phone companies must spend about $20 to $23 for each second line. Upstart Internet companies say this puts them at a significant price disadvantage and limits their ability to lure residential consumers.
They say the playing field could be leveled if the FCC takes the action anticipated.
"This is a start of all of that good stuff, and the start of our campaign for the consumer in a more meaningful way," said Dhruv Khanna, general counsel of Covad Communications Inc., which sells Internet connections mostly to business customers. The company hopes to be able to offer high-speed connections at less than $40 a month and expand its reach to residential customers.
Jeff Blumenfeld, general counsel for Rhythms Connections Inc., another data services company said sharing lines will enable consumers to start receiving service in a matter of days rather than waiting weeks for a
second line installation.
But the regional Bells say they have serious concerns about the impact on consumer service of carrying data and voice traffic — from different providers — on the same copper wire.
"We are concerned about the impact on the consumer who is currently purchasing voice service from us that could have two providers over the same line," said Susanne Guyer, assistant vice president of federal regulatory affairs for Bell Atlantic.
Robert Blau, BellSouth's vice president for executive and regulatory affairs, stressed that making sure basic voice service stays reliable will be an important consideration for the FCC and companies, as they add these applications to the phone line.
Industry officials expect the FCC to implement this requirement within six months. Pricing arrangements are yet to be determined. The commission is expected to set some interim pricing guidelines, with states hammering out later how much Internet businesses must pay the local telephone companies to split the line.
Bradley refutes Gore's charges
Democratic hopeful stands by his plans to remove Medicaid
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Up against a daily assault by Al Gore, Bill Bradley stood by his plan to eliminate Medical aid and accused the vice president yesterday of playing politics with a broken system that stigmatizes the poor and minorities.
"He's wrong," Bradley said.
In sober tones, the former basket ball star described his presidential race as the ultimate game and issued his sharpest and most detailed defense of his $65 billion health care plan.
Bradley, in an interview with The Associated Press, also eyed corporate tax loopholes as ripe for closing and said politicians must start evaluating them each year like any other spending program.
He also said he opposed sports betting, but Bradley, who represented New Jersey and its Atlantic City casinos during 18 years in the Senate, declined to condemn all gambling.
"I buy a lottery ticket every now and then," he chuckled.
Bradley spoke to AP reporters and editors from his aides' typed page of talking points, on which he jammed the margins with his own tight scrawl.
His reading glasses propped low
on his nose,
B r ad l e y
responded to
Gore's escalating charges that Latinos, blacks and AIDS patients would be devastated by the loss of Medicaid.
PETER M. SMITH
"He's wrong."
Bradley said.
"He's defending something
Bradley: is defending his $65 billion health care plan
that needs to be improved."
Bradley said he would give low-income Americans subsidies to buy health insurance in the private market or from the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
This week alone, Gore gave an interview on Spanish-language radio, conducted an Internet chat with women and placed ads on black radio stations to spread the word
that minorities and other groups who disproportionately rely on Medicaid might not be able to buy insurance with the capped amount of subsidy in Bradley's plan.
"What you're seeing is constituency politics on the other side," Bradley said. "I mean you know, just go down this group, that group, that group, that group — try to get that group against this group and this group against that — not looking at the whole. And the whole is that people would be better off if those who were uninsured had a chance to be a part of the federal system."
Bradley suggested that his rival's critique hurt most because it denigrated Bradley's deep and longstanding commitment to helping minorities and the poor.
“It’s sad that (Gore) would not respect that.” Bradley said.
In reply, a representative for Gore, Chris Lehane ticked down a list: minorities, the poor, the disabled, senior citizens and those who are HIV-positive.
"Each one of those groups would disproportionately impacted and left out in the cold if Senator Bradley's health care plan was ever enacted," Lehane said.

Fort Hays State, Pratt await merger approval
Board of Regents may postpone its decision until after start of 2000
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A decision on the proposed merger of Fort Hays State University and Pratt Community College may not be approved until next year by the Board of Regents, one of its members said yesterday.
Merger talks between the two institutions have been under way for two years and both agree it's a good idea. However, the Regents, which oversees community colleges, must approve the merger for it to take place.
The Commission for Higher Education Coordination considered the proposal, but it postponed any action until at least its Nov. 30 meeting. The commission is part of the
board and is composed of three regents.
Fred Kerr, the commission's chairman, said he doesn't know when the Regents would take action on the merger proposal, which he supports.
"In the time frame of 1999, it's impossible to handle something of this magnitude — that's what I'm hearing (from other regents)," said Kerr, of Pratt. "I don't want this proposal to just die on the vine."
Part of the reason for the delay is that Regents are considering general guidelines for any merger by schools under their authority. Some board members think the guidelines should be in place before dealing with the Fort Hays-Pratt merger.
Nevertheless, Kerr said he hoped the Regents still can make a decision before the end of the year so lawmakers can consider the proposal in January. Any merger must be approved by the board and Legislature for it to take place.

Pratt
If the merger occurs, Pratt would retain ownership of its campus and would be known as Pratt Community College of Fort Hays State University. Administration of the campus would be given to to the university.
After the meeting, Pratt President Bill Wojciechowski said he wanted the schools to merge because he's concerned Pratt might not get enough state money under the current funding formula.
wanted to provide four-year programs in areas such as nursing and business, and being part of a university would permit that. In addition, Wojciechowski said, a merger would provide tax relief to local residents, who help finance the community college through taxes.
Wojciechowski estimates the merger could cost the state up to $2.3 million. Much of that would come from shifting some of the burden of paying for the community college from local taxes to the state's general fund.
Fort Hays President Ed Hammond warned that waiting too long could jeopardize the merger because future boards of trustees at the two schools might not support the idea.
"Significantly delaying it — two to three years — will destroy what we've invested in," Hammond said.
Wojciechowski agreed, "You can't allow this to go on forever."
Prosecutor in dragging death calls defendant a liar
The Associated Press
JASPER, Texas — The third white man accused of dragging a black man to his death is a liar whose denial of participation in the murder does not jibe with other evidence, a prosecutor argued yesterday.
Defendant Shawn Allen Berry had testified that he was afraid to interfere in the killing of James Byrd Jr. — so scared by his white supremacist co-defendants that he wet his pants.
"I if sound blaze about some of this, please don't think I'm not deadly serious about this case," Jasper County Assistant District Attorney Pat Hardy said in his closing argument. "It's hard to keep from getting that way when you're lied to and it's easy to see."
Hardy disputed several points of Berry's testimony, notably his claim
that he wasn't driving when Byrd was dragged behind a truck down a rural road. And Hardy said Berry knew exactly what his friends had in store for Byrd when they drove to the remote area where the attack began.
As defense closing arguments began, attorney Joseph "Lum" Hawthorn maintained that the prosecution — which concedes Berry does not have the racist background of his friends — gave the jury no reasonable motive why Berry would have killed Byrd.
"Why in the world does the state think Shawn Berry could do something like this?" Hawthorn said.
Jury deliberations were to follow the closing arguments. Judge Joe Bob Golden had told jurors to bring overnight bags to today's session with the expectation they would be sequestered.
Berry, 24, spent four hours on the witness stand Tuesday, saying he wet his pants in fear for his life when codefendants John William King and Lawrence Russell Brewer attacked the 49-year-old Byrd on June 7. 1998.
Brewer, 32, and King, 25, have been convicted and sentenced to death.
Berry testified he tried to keep Byrd from being pulled from the truck, but stopped when King told him that someone helping Byrd could meet the same fate that awaited Byrd.
Though he said he was unable to move, he said he jumped out of the way when a punch-drunk Byrd was pushed toward him while being beaten. Berry said he thought Byrd's hand might have brushed his leg, where Byrd's blood was later discovered.
He said he then watched King and Brewer kick Byrd, spray-paint his
face and chain his feet to the back of the truck. Berry said King took the driver's seat, while he was in the middle and Brewer on the passenger side, and "they started dragging."
Afterward, Berry said, he helped wash blood off his truck and the logging chain because he thought his presence at the scene meant he was guilty of murder.
"In my mind I was just as guilty as they were for being there," Berry said. "And I didn't want to go to the police."
Berry had been driving when the three buddies first picked up Byrd and he said King suggested they beat him up.
Asked why he ignored King's threat, Berry said "I just thought it was the same old Bill," adding that King had a penchant for making empty threats of violence.
IRA agrees to participate in disarmament negotiations
The Associated Press
BELFAST, Northern Ireland — The Irish Republican Army pledged yesterday to open negotiations soon with a disarmament commission, taking a key first step toward eventually surrendering its weapons in support of Northern Ireland's peace accord.
In a statement, the IRA promised to send a negotiator to the commission if the British province's major Protestant party, the Ulster Unionists, first formed the Protestant-Catholic administration envisaged in last year's Good Friday agreement.
The policy turnaround came after Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble, in a crucial
concession Tuesday, said such an IRA statement would be sufficient for him to accept the IRA-linked Sinn Fein party within a new Cabinet, long the stumbling block to progress.
These back-to-back compromises were carefully prescripted as part of American mediator George Mitchell's 11-week-old mission to save the accord.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair's government minister for Northern Ireland, Peter Mandelson, called the IRA pledge welcome and stronger in certain respects than some expected.
In Dublin, Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern said the IRA's words carry real value at a critical time.
The IRA statement offered no
explicit guarantee that gradual disarmament will follow. But until now the outlawed movement had rejected any direct contact with the disarmament commission, formed in 1997 during peace negotiations.
IRA commanders had argued that to hand over even a single bullet would symbolize surrender, and humiliate and split their ranks.
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams praised the IRA for demonstrating courage, discipline and patience. He said that no one should underestimate the effort that this initiative involved.
Adams' diehair predecessor as Sinn Fein leader, Ruaiir O Bradaigh, predicted a new generation would take up
arms in pursuit of the traditional IRA goal — the abolition of Northern Ireland as a Protestant-majority state linked with Britain.
"An army which surrenders its weapons is not an army," said O Bradaigh, who today leads Republican Sinn Fein, a small party linked with dissidents scheming to wreck the IRA's 1997 truce. "The indomitable spirit of Irish republicanism will reassert itself as sure as day follows night."
Trimble faces a far more serious challenge in the immediate future. His decision to soften his "no IRA guns, no government" policy needs approval by a majority of the Ulster Unionists' 800-strong ruling council. The vote is
expected Nov.27.
Ulster Unionist negotiator Michael McGimpsey, a moderate likely to take a lead in selling the deal, noted that the IRA statement was particularly significant for what it didn't say — the usual rejection of disarmament.
But many Protestants were unhappy.
Peter Robinson, deputy leader of the uncompromising Democratic Unionist Party that also is supposed to be in the new Cabinet, urged Ulster Unionists to reject their leadership rather than embrace Gerry Adams.
If Trimble wins his vote, his lawmakers could then elect Sinn Fein politicians to two of the intended Cabinet's 12 posts in early December.
Pakistani military fulfills its promise of arresting debtors
The Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The military government rounded up hundreds of Pakistan's most powerful and wealthy people yesterday, making good on its promise to try and rid the country's political ranks of rampant corruption.
The raids — which brought in landowners, industrialists, athletes and politicians from all parties — began hours after a deadline expired for debtors to repay loans or face criminal charges.
According to Pakistan television, $138 million had been recovered when the deadline expired — just 3 percent of the estimated $4 billion outstanding.
Soldiers in green army jeeps roared up to the palatial home of Nawaz Kokhar, a member of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's party, on the outskirts of Islamabad to arrest him.
"We hope we will get justice. We are not going to run," said Kokhar, who reportedly owes about $2 million.
He was just one of hundreds taken in during army chief Gen. Pervez Musharraf's crackdown on corruption, which he promised to carry out last month after seizing power in a bloodless coup.
There were conflicting reports on the exact number of arrests, but police and intelligence officials said the nationwide raids brought in as many as 450 people. An official statement named 21 people who were arrested.
The former prime minister, who has been in army custody since his Oct. 12 ouster, had earlier been accused of treason and hijacking. He was handed to police late yesterday, and within 24 hours was due in court to be formally charged. If convicted of either charge, he would face the death penalty or life in prison.
The charges stem from an incident in which an aircraft returning Musharraf to Pakistan was refused permission to land in Karachi on Oct. 12. The army seized control of the country, allowed the plane to land, and took Sharif into custody.
The army interrupted television programming yesterday to name some of those arrested, including Manzoor Wattoo, a former chief minister of Punjab; Akhtar Rasool, former captain of Pakistan's national field hockey team; retired Air Marshal Waqar Azim; and Anwar Saifullah, a leading politician and industrialist.
"They have committed crimes against this nation," Interior Minister Moinuddin Haider said on state television. "We have to be tough."
The TV report also called Bhutto a proclaimed offender, and said she still was wanted for arrest on corruption charges.
Bhutto, who lives in Britain, earlier was found guilty of corruption and sentenced to five years in jail. But she refused to return to Pakistan, saying the trial had been unfair and she was innocent.
The television report also said Bhutto's jailed husband, Asif Ali Zardari, faces new charges.
Yesterday's arrests followed the enactment of a law, promulgated by President Rafiq Tarar, barring politicians from holding office for 21 years if they were found guilty of corruption or of defraught on loans.
The law makes corruption a crime punishable by up to 14 years in prison, whereas a corruption conviction previously carried a maximum five-year prison term and kept politicians from office for seven years.

Temptations of college can harm diabetics' health
Continued from page 1A
keep his blood sugars in check.
But as elementary school turned into middle school and middle school turned into high school, Obermeller began to test the limits of the disease. He wouldn't give himself shots. He would eat sugary snacks.
"I've never just had just a solid lock on control," he said.
It would soon get worse.
A would soon get worse.
Obermueller came to the University in the fall of 1994, joined Delta Tau Delta fraternity and started to live the college life.
"Obviously as your freedom grows, your access to temptation grows," Obermuelter said. "That's a difficult thing to manage."
His freshman year, Obermueller ended up in the hospital.
He said he was under stress, involved in too many activities with his fraternity and in general was spread too thin.
After being taken to the hospital by his pledge brothers, Obermuelter's blood sugar level was measured in the 500s or 600s. The blood sugar level of a non-diabetic is between 80 and 120.
Type 1 diabetics require regular injections of
injections of insulin so their bodies can absorb sugar from the foods they eat. Depending on their treatment plan, diabetics can give them self-up to four shots a day.
His poor control of his disease continued. He drank too much. An alcohol problem his senior year not only caused Obermuelter to smash his car into a tree and break his neck, but also threatened his health as a diabetic.
Drinking first raises blood sugar levels because most alcoholic drinks
contain sugar. The alcohol then drops blood sugars to dangerous lows because it blocks the liver from
making glucose for the body. The American Diabetes Association recommends diabetics consume no more than two drinks throughout an entire evening.
Despite being out of control, Obermuelier didn't ask for help.
"There's a part of you that says you're not going to be noticed for your disabilities," he said. "You don't want to have anyone worrying about you. You don't want to bother anyone with your problem."
Obermuelmer eventually resigned his position at the Kansan his senior year. He withdrew from student politics. All the while, he still refused to take control of his disease.
"I don't think I ever evaluated it," he said. "There was never a time I
thought I was going to kill myself if I didn't do whatever."
After graduating from the University, Obermuelier interned at the Philadelphia Inquirer for a year. He then moved to Colorado Springs, Colo. He began to lose his sight last summer.
After seven or eight surgeries, Obermuller is no longer able to focus his right eye. He can see with his left eye, but the brownish streak follows him everywhere. He no longer drives
Obermummel said he now is forced to concentrate on his disease.
10. 将注射器尖端朝上，插入药液中。
"I'm a lot better than I used to be," he said. "It's never very far from my mind."
Treating the problems
Richard Guthrie has seen the toll of diabetes on college students first hand.
As the founder and chief physician of Mid-America Diabetes Associates, a Wichita clinic specializing in treatment of the disease, Guthrie and another specialist oversee the care of some 12,000 active patients. Of those, 3,000 are college age or younger.
"They all want to try drinking and all sorts of things." Guthrie said. "A fairly large percentage of them end up in ketoacidosis."
Most college students have type 1 diabetes, which is distinct and different from type 2 diabetes — the variety of the disease caused by excess weight and poor lifestyle decisions. The more severe, incurable type 1 is unrelated to lifestyle, and it generally occurs in young people.
Ketoacidosis develops when blood sugar is extremely high, and dangerous acids called ketones build up in the body. The diabetic feels thirsty, urinates often, is tired and may vomit, act confused, or have difficulty breathing. It can result in a coma.
Guthrie said college posed significant challenges for diabetics — particularly in the first semester of freshman year.
The list of potential problems for a diabetic college student is long.
"Finals are a problem," he said. "Finals are stress, and stress means blood sugars go up."
Guthrie pointed to finals period as a potential time of trouble.
Alcohol also can be a major problem. As Obermeller's experience

- Of these, 500,000 to 1 million people have type 1 diabetes.
The risk of type 1 diabetes is higher for children than almost all other severe chronic childhood diseases
Type 2 diabetes usually develops after the age of 45.
$92 billion is spent annually on diabetic health care.
Diabetes is the seventh-leading cause of death in the US (about 190,000 people each year).
shows, heavy drinking can be very harmful for a diabetic.
Injections of insulin are still the only treatment for type 1 diabetes.

"It doesn't go well with diabetes," Guthrie said. "We strongly discourage alcohol."
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Health Center, said last semester students with both kinds of diabetes visited Watkins 80 times. The health center saw few cases of ketoacidosis or other severe problems caused by mismanagement of the disease.
"That happens rarely, that we see that," Rock said. "Most students at KU tend to be under pretty good control."
Best-case scenarios
Not all diabetics in college have Obermueler's difficulties.
Brian Harries, Vassar sophomore, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the middle of his freshman year in high school. It wasn't a surprise because Harries' mother and grandfather were diabetic as well.
Six-foot,5. 198-pound Harries eats around 3,000 calories each day. He also injects himself with insulin four times a day. He sees his diabetic specialist in Kansas City, Mo., every two or three months.
Harries has kept relatively tight control during his five years with the disease. College posed a challenge, he said, but not an overwhelming one.
"In college it has times where it gets of hand," Harries said. "I've never had it where it's been out of hand for a long period of time."
He agreed that stress was difficult for diabetics.
"That one screwed me over so many times last year," Harries said. "I'd have a nice even keel going on the blood sugars, and something would stress me out, and they'd just shoot right up."
Pam Wyssenbach, Wichita sophomore, also in control.
After tests revealed that Wyssenbach was at risk for developing type 1 diabetes, she was put on a two-shot-a-day schedule. She takes very little insulin, but so far, the treatment — meant to prevent the onset of full-blown diabetes — has been effective.
"It's kind of a struggle, and it can be really frustrating sometimes," she said. "I have this weird mental thing that whenever I have sugar, it's like cutting off five minutes of my life that I'd rather keep."
Poor-quality food and the irregular schedule of college take their toll, Wyssenbach said.
Diabetes specialist Guthrie is looking forward to the future.
Looking ahead
He said many advances in diabetic care were on the horizon. None could be considered a cure, but all would make treatment of the disease simpler.
New, long-acting insulins are a possibility in the very near future. Inhalable insulin, wristwatches that give a constant blood sugar readout, and a surgically implanted insulin pump and blood-glucose sensor combination all are possible.
"In general, I'm optimistic," Guthrie said. "I think life is going to get better for people with diabetes."
It's a mixed picture for Obermuelter, though. All he can hope for now is to stop further loss of eyesight and to stave off other complications, he said.
He's controlling his diabetes better now. He said if his blood sugar gets too high, it affects the sight of his good eye. He's drinking less, too, although he still has no regular diabetic doctor.
glos • sa • ry
blood sugar level — Number that indicates the absorption of glucose (or sugar) into the bloodstream. The higher the blood sugar level is, the more sugar is in the system. The lower it is, the less sugar the body has. Normal blood sugar ranges are between 80 and 120 milligrams per deciliter.
diabetic complications — Adverse health effects caused by poor control of diabetes. They may include kidney failure, circulatory problems, amputation of limbs and retinopathy.
diabetic retinopathy — A diabetic complication. The retinas either are broken or scarred, and sight is damaged.
ketoacidosis — Condition in which blood sugar goes too high, and poisonous acids called ketones build up in the bloodstream. The condition can result in a diabetic coma.
insulin — Hormone that allows the body to absorb the sugar from food. Insulin is naturally produced in non-diabetics, but must be injected by type 1 diabetics.
*pancreas* — Gland that produces insulin.
type 1 diabetes — Chronic disease caused when the immune system attacks and kills the islet cells in the pancreas. The disease stops the pancreas from producing insulin, and insulin must be regularly injected into the body for the person to stay alive.
type 2 diabetes — Disease caused by excess weight and poor lifestyle choices that affects the pancreas' ability to make enough insulin. Generally occurs in people above the age of 45.
Obermueller remains unapologetic.
"I don't regret a single thing I did in college," he said. "I needed to get through every bad thing to get to the good things now."
Obermueller has advice for other diabetics, though.
"Don't delude yourself into thinking this is something you can put behind yourself for four years," he said. "Everything you do has a reaction on your wellness, and I mean it in the broadest sense of the term."

New Etheridge album terrific
Breakdown caters to old, new fans
By Melineh Kurdian Kansan guest critic
With fire and passion, the ultimate female rocker is back on the music scene.
Melissa Etheridge's sixth and latest album, Breakdown, brings her sound to a higher, more complex level, with the same maturity that always has graced her lyrics. The story Etheridge tells and the emotions she conveys create a complete album. Etheridge's voice soars throughout the 11 tracks, emitting raw emotion as her lyrics touch on universal human issues such as love, loss and confusion.
Being happily settled with two children and her partner, filmmaker Julie Cypher, has been a positive influence on this album. Such personal contentment does not make for boring music. This new sense of being grounded seems to have allowed Etheridge to search further outside of her own immediate surroundings for inspiration.
One result of this search is the eighth — and arguably the most powerful — track on the album, "Scarecrow," which deals with the tragedy surrounding the murder last year of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student.
The song, which pays tribute to Shepard as well as reprimands the individuals responsible for his death and the mindset that contributes the propagation of hate, is one of Etheridge's finest. Coupled with her forceful voice,
the lyrics prompt one to reflect on the tragedy and how such an event might be avoided in the future.
From pulsating, hip-hop-influenced rhythms in "Angels Would Fall" (which always makes me jump up and down, screaming the lyrics) to the romantic ballad, "My Lover," *Breakdown* follows a natural, logical progression.
"I wanted the album to go somewhere."
Etheridge recently explained in an Oct.
99 article in the Atlanta Express. "I want

Breakdown to a natural denouement. I opted for the fancier limited edition CD with three bonus tracks, the best of which is "My Beloved." If you have a few extra dollars, I would recommend you do the same.
Fortunately for us, this album is more musical than her past efforts. Staying true to her rock roots is mostly positive, except for when it becomes stale and overused in a song such as "Touch and Go," the first bonus track. But this is an exception.
jelissa etheredge breakfast
Etheridge includes a broader range of instrumentation, such as a pedal steel guitar and a mandolin. One of the best additions, though, is the solid bass backbone, played by Pino Palladino, which adds a sensual feel to songs that might not be the same without the heavy-
ier bass rhythms.
Etheridge's experimentation with a drum machine and her break from regular rock beats also makes Breakdown more musically pleasing. One is inclined to listen to a song in its entirety and let it seep in, rather than skipping forward a track because of the music's tedious repetition — something this album definitely does not have.
Breakdown is an album that old, diehard fans and newcomers alike can listen to repeatedly, each time hearing nuances previously unnoticed.
After being discovered more than 10 years ago, Etheridge still is coming on strong and promises to continue to give audiences what they need; solid rock 'n' roll from a woman who is unafraid to bare her soul.
Breakdown is available at local music stores for $17.99.
You can catch Etheridge's tour at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan., tonight.
Live's new album fails to last in the long haul
By Bryan Anderson Kansan music critic
The first thing I think about when someone mentions the band Live is the awful song "Lightning Crashes," off of the band's sophomore release, Throwing Copper. Even if it had not been played to death, its boring musical progression and annoying lyrics send my hand toward the dial on the radio to change the station.
After a disappointing third record, Live is back with a fourth album, The Distance to Here. The impressive first single, "The Dolphin's Cry," is a dramatic departure from "Lightning Crashes" and gave me hope that this album would be an innovative rock record. "The Dolphin's Cry" starts out languidly, with a simple guitar line and delicate vocals. Both crescendo in unison to an intense climax without being overpowering.
But that is as good as it gets. The rest of the CD is like a road trip through Kansas. There are a couple of highlights, like the world's largest hand-dug well and the big ball of twine, but otherwise it is boring and
uneventful.
One of the few highlights is "Sparkle," a sparse bass-driven song that starts out promising, and then suffers from a conventional, drag-on ending. "Run to the Water"
CD facts
Title: The Distance to Here
Artist: Live
Grade: D+
Live
is a mellow ballad that is reminiscent of "Turn My Head," one of the highlights on Throwing Copper.
The rest of the album is bland. "The Distance" is a stolid rock song with a pretentious harpsichord solo. The song, "Sun," has boring lyrics to go along with the boring music. On it Ed Kowalczyk sings, "let the world be the world/ let the girl be the girl/ let her beauty move ya." You know you are in trouble lyrically when the lead singer uses "ya" instead of "you."
"Meltdown" almost sounds like Oasis, but Live does not have the bad-boy swagger or the pop sensibility to pull it off. And "They Stood Up For Love" is a quasi-funk number with preachy, but unimportant, lyrics.
Except for a few and far between decent moments, this album is bland and boring. It is an example of why rock music is in a slump right now, because most of it is unadventurous and uninspired.

Sidelined, not sidetracked
Senior quarterback helps from bench

Bv Mike Miller
It's not easy being Zac Wegner.
No one on the Kansas football team — except maybe teammate Michael Chandler — has had to endure more than Wegner. He's had three concussions, a broken right thumb and he's been moved from starting to second-string quarterback during his senior season, but he handles it all with grace and humility.
His assistance in quarterback Dylan Smith's development basically has made
Wegner another coach on the sidelines, all the while putting aside his personal feelings for the team's benefit.
"That's what makes Zac special to this team. It takes a lot of courage to stand up and say those things," said wide receiver Michael Chandler, who has been at Kansas with Wegner since they were freshmen in 1995.
"When Dylen came in, a lot of people looked at that and said he's the future of the program, and Zac looked at that and realized what he had to do."
But that's just part of who Zac Wegner is. A two-year co-captain, Wegner is respected among his teammates for his work ethic and his dedication to the football team. He's the one who leads the team during warm-ups and is the one who most of the guys turn to for leadership.
"For me the way I lead is by example."
Wegner said. "I can do that at practice, vocally."
It's mostly because Wegner is a player who has persevered through rough times. He suffered two concussions last season — one from a vicious hit during the 54-6 defeat against Kansas State that was replayed again and again during sports shows, and another during the Spring 1998 semester when he was beaten up walking from Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall to room at Javahwker Towers.
The concussions were a source of debate in the Lawrence area. It was perceived by some people that it would be dangerous for Wegner to play football again because he could suffer permanent brain injuries if he were hit again. He received clearance to play from doctors

story by matt tait
On the field or court, Evans' strength, speed led to Jayhawk victory
Ray Evans was perhaps the ultimate Kansas athlete in football and basketball.
He was a sleek, fast-moving guard for the Kansas basketball team from 1941 to 1943, and from 1946 to 1948. During his Kansas career, he helped lead the Jayhawks to two Big Six Conference championships and two NCAA appearances.
But when the jump shots and layups stopped, Evans remained a Kansas athlete until his death in April of this year.
"He was an all-around great athlete," said Don Fambrough, Evans' football teammate from 1946 to 1948 and Kansas football coach from 1971 to 1974 and 1979 to 1982. "As a former coach, when you talk about a great athlete that's who you talk about. Not someone who just excelled in one sport, but someone who could do it all."
When it wasn't basketball season, Evans could be found on the gridiron. In direct contrast to his swift style on the court, Evans was a bruiser on the football field. Although he gained glory running the ball as a halfback, he occasionally threw it as well. He played offense with a defender's mentality. Perhaps that was because he was the starting safety as well.
His punishing defense and solid offense helped him become an All-American in 1947, which made Evans the only Kansas athlete to be named a first-team All-American in both football and basketball.
While the accomplishment was a first, Fambrough said that Evans remained humble.
"I'm sure he had a sort of quiet pride
42
about it, but it was never something he talked about, it was so far from him — it just wasn't his personality," Fambrough said.
From four sports to two
Born in the Strawberry Hill section of Kansas City, Kan., on Sept. 8, 1922, Evans came to Kansas with the same credentials as most high school athletes. He was a four-sport standout at Wyandotte High School, excelling in basketball, baseball, football and track.
After his senior year at Wyandotte in 1941, Evans received an offer from the New York Yankees to play for one of their West Coast minor-league teams. A team representative visited Evans and said that the Yankees were willing to pay his college tuition at Kansas if he signed with the team.

Fans, media await end of freshmen's silence
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Every season, Kansas basketball fans and media alike are forced to wait to hear from the team's newcomers until the end of the first regular season game.
Because of Kansas coach Roy Williams' player interview policy, however, Nick Collison, Drew Gooden and Kirk Hinrich have been silent.
This year, Kansas' three freshmen have stolen the preseason show, making the desire to hear from them even greater.
The policy, which states, "Student-athletes in their first year of competition are not available for interviews until
C
after their first regular game," stems from the way things were run at North Carolina where Williams was Dean Smith's assistant.

In the two exhibition games thus far, both victories — a 124-101 win against the California East All-Stars and a 119-44 drubbing of Australia's Geelong Supercats — the three have recorded

stats among the team's top six.
"They've all three played better than I expected, and I had high expectations," Williams said. "They're not young and restless; they're young and hungry."
Collison, a 6-feet-9-inch forward from Iowa Falls, Iowa, is third on the team in scoring with 14.5 points per game and started in both of them. His 8.5 rebounds a game ties him for the team lead with Gooden, and he is shooting 67 percent from the field.
"Nick has really grasped things quickly," Williams said. "He is fundamentally sound, and I expected him to be."
Gooden, a 6-9 forward from Richmond,
Calif., has had as good of a start. He too
has started in both preseason games, and his 12.5 points per game ranks fourth on the squad. In game one Gooden's 12 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists brought him just two assists shy of a triple-double.
"Drew has probably made more mistakes than I expected him to make, yet he's made more outstanding plays than I expected him to make." Williams said.
In preseason workouts, Hinrich, a 6-3 guard from Sioux City, Iowa, has surprised everyone from senior Nick Bradford to sophomore Marlon London. Hinrich has started one game, scored in
Commentary
Zac deserves to lead team on the field
He is Zac Wegner.
He is a quarterback for the Jayhawks, and he has spent half of his Kansas career being booed and ridiculed as much as Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback Elvis Grbac.
For those who have bad memories, let me ask the few thousand students
After four lackluster performances by Johner, students and fans were screaming for Allen
that support Kansas football to remember the 1997 season. It was Terry Allen's first season as coach. Some guy named Matt Johner was playing quarterback, and he was, well let's be nice and say, not that good.
YOUNG JEAN
Brad Hallier associate sports editor sports @kanasan.com
to take him out. "Put in Wegner! Zac is better!" were the cries echoing in the north bowl at Memorial Stadium. Fans got their wish when Johner was benched in the Oklahoma game. Down 10-3 at halftime, Wegner led Kansas to a 20-17 victory.
But then Kansas entered the tough part of its schedule, and Wegner only would win once as a starter, 34-24 against Iowa State.
But many were confident going into the 1998 season. Wegner was back to lead a young Jayhawk offense. Wegner looked solid in the first four Kansas games, throwing for 825 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions, and leading Kansas to a 2-2 record. Then came the fateful first pass against Texas &M, which was picked off by linebacker Dat Nguyen.
The chants for Wegner's head started. Despite the interception, Wegner nearly led Kansas to an upset against the Aggies. Two more losses followed before the fateful concussion early in the game against Colorado. Backup Jay Alexander came in, leading the Jayhawks to a 33-17 upset against the Buffaloes.
Alexander was hailed as "the man." The next week Wegner was knocked out again, this time against Kansas State.
Two concussions in seven days brought speculation of an early retirement for Wegner. In the spring of 1999, he was cleared to play his senior year. Many people, including many in the media, thought Zac should call it quits. What did he have to play for? He wasn't going to the NFL. "He isn't that good anyway," many said.
Zac, from day one, I've been behind your decision to play your final year 100 percent. As a former college soccer player, I would give anything, including two concussions in seven days, to play one more season at that level. The point is Zac knew that this season would be it for his football career, and he never would get it back.
Sure, Wegner has been benched in favor of the mobile and exciting Dylan Smith, but Zac got the chance to play in South Bend, Ind., against Notre Dame.
Wegner will run onto the Memorial Stadium turfonce more this Saturday. Cherish it Zac. You'll never forget this last game. And what I wouldn't give to see you throw a game-winning touchdown pass in the final minutes. Because after what you went through, you deserve it.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Wesley Stokes, a top high school point guard from Long Beach, Calif., has signed a letter of intent to play for Missouri, the team announced yesterday.
Top high school guard signs with Missouri
The 5-foot-10 Stokes averaged 16 points, eight assists and four steals as a junior. He selected Missouri ahead of Southern California, San Diego State, Texas and Massachusetts.
"Wesley is really an exciting player, and I'm thrilled he wants to be a part of the Missouri program."
A news release from the university's Sports Information Department listed Stokes as the top point guard in the West and a top-50 national recruit.

Coach Quin Snyder said in a statement, "He is an extremely intelligent person and is one of those players with a great feel for the game."
Stokes joins Rickey Pauling and Arthur Johnson as the highlights of Missouri's recruiting class for the early signing period.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — It must be the thumb.

Most recently, Favre was 26-of-50 for 260 yards and two interceptions in the Packers' 27-13 loss to Dallas. Favre sprayed the ball around the field, by his own count missing at least 10 receivers on throws that were too long, too short or just plain bad.
Marino gets in wreck after spilling coffee
DAVIE, Fla. — Dan Marino began the day by spilling coffee in his lap while driving to work.
Then, trying to clean up the mess as he crept along in heavy traffic, he rear-ended an Isuzu Rodeo.
Marino was unhurt, and no ticket was issued pending further investigation by police. But his Chevy Suburban had to be towed, and both passengers in the isuzu went to the hospital complaining of neck pain.
At that point, Marino's fortunes began to improve. He made it on time to work, where he was greeted by a coach suddenly eager to get him back in the lineup.
And in the afternoon, Marino practiced for the first time in a month.
The Miami Dolphins' quarterback knows all about neck pain. After missing four games because of a pinched nerve in the neck, he rejoined individual drills yesterday but sat out the offensive practice.
Marino still hasn't received medical clearance to take part in contact and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against New England.
BALTIMORE — Pitcher Mike Trombley became the first free agent to sign with a new team this off season, agreeing to a $7.75 million, three-year contract with the Baltimore Orioles.
The Orioles' new manager, Mike Hargrove, has expressed a desire to re-evaluate the team's late-inning relief. Trombley, a 32-year-old righthander, saved 24 games in 30 chances last season for the Minnesota Twins. He was 28 with a

Rockies swap pitchers with Brewers in trade
DENVER — In another rebuilding move, the Colorado Rockies swapped pitchers with Milwaukee yesterday, sending right-hander Curtis Leskanic to the Brewers for left-hander Mike Myers.
It was the Rockies' third off season trade and second in as many days. Since the World Series, the Rockies have acquired seven players

"Kirk is the son of a coach and has a great knowledge of the game," Williams said. "He is doing as well as I expected him to do."
Before Jacque Vaughn arrived on the scene in 1993, a freshman starting at the University of Kansas was almost unheard. In fact, Vaughn became the first to do so since Wilt Chamberlain in 1954. Shortly thereafter, however, that trend became commonplace as Raef
LaFrentz started as a freshman in 1994. Paul Pierce in 1995 and last year Jeff Boschee did as well.
It appears that the trend may continue this year as at least one of the three probably will make their way into the starting lineup, and Williams said that even starting all three was not out of the question.
"It doesn't bother me in the least if they are good enough," Williams said. "If they're not, then it's a bad idea."
Yesterday was the final day of the early signing period for high school
seniors and the only thing that has changed for Kansas' 6-9 recruit Travon Bryant of Long Beach, Calif., was his picture on analyst Bob Gibbons' Web site, *All Star Report*.
Bryant's decision to pass during the early signing period means that he will now have to wait until the spring signing period in April to make any official commitments to a university. He still can commit verbally at any time but will remain unsigned until April.

Overweight Chiefs running back sidelined
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bam Morris is back in the doghouse.
The big running back, a starter for two games who was expected to be a big part of Kansas City's season plan, was unexpectedly inactive last week at Tampa Bay because Coach Gunther Cunningham said he was overweight.
Apparently, he won't play this week against Seattle.
"I might be some pounds over. But that's not the idea," said Morris, who is listed at 259. "The deal is we're 5-4. We need to get some wins. Gun made an issue about the weight. So that's what I've got to do."
Morris, who has run for 225 yards and two touchdowns, averaging better than 3 yards a carry, also was in trouble with Cunningham for reporting to training camp out of shape.
He appeared to clear that hurdle in September and does not appear much heavier than he has been most of the year. He said he is close to his ideal weight.
“It's not something I can't win. I'm going to win and get everybody on the same page. I'll get it done,” he said. “I feel great. But it's not up to me. Gun makes the call. He's the head coach, and I've got to respect his call.
I'm right there. I'm borderline."
An irritable Cunningham, before declaring an abrupt end to his postpractice media session, had no comment on Morris's situation.
"Mike Cloud and Rashaan Shehee are going to be the backs," Cunningham said. "So let's just leave it at that. Next?"
Morris said he did not expect to be active Sunday because he hasn't been taking many plays in practice. His next official weigh-in is this morning.
"This kid [Morris] will go back out and play just like he always does," Cunningham said. "He's got tremendous ability. He will be back and I've got great confidence, as the team does."

Team ready for first real test

Although the Kansas women's basketball team has cruised to two victories in two exhibition games, the team has not yet faced a true challenge.
Saturday, when the Jayhawks begin their regular season against the Houston Cougars in Houston, they will have their first chance to see how well the team comes together.
Tuesday night, in an 87-51 victory against LATVia-Cubra Lake. Kansas showed significant improvements from its sluggish 80-67 exhibition victory against Club Gija-Marijampole on Nov. 9.
The defense did a better job of slowing its opponents and keeping them off the free-throw line, but Kansas coach Marian Washington
said the team still had some improvements to make before the regular season.
"I'm more encouraged, but we still have work to do," Washington said. "I don't want to see our opponents catching the ball too easily, and I don't want to see them making an easy entry into the post. We need to do a better job when we get to Houston."
The Jayhawks also had a chance to introduce their triple-post offense against a man-to-man defense, which most Big 12 Conference teams will use against Kansas.
The team successfully ran every offensive option they had practiced but one during its 87-point scoring performance.
Though senior guard Suzi Raymant, one of the team's top scoring threats, was not playing her best after missing Monday's
practice with intestinal flu, Kansas still had four players score in double figures. Junior forward Brooke Reves led the team in scoring with 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting, followed by senior forward Lynn Pride and junior forward Jaclyn Johnson, who both scored 13. Sophomore center Kristin Geoffroy scored 11.
"Houston plays more player-to-player defense, and we really wanted to see that before the regular season," Washington said. "Right now, we are comfortable with our offense. We scored on every option but one, and we know what we did wrong there. It can only get better from here."
Despite these impressive statistics, junior guard Jennifer Jackson said the team could not get a big head from its performance in its second exhibition game.
"We played a tired team." Jackson
said. "We were the last of seven teams they played in America, and the score just sort of got away from them. It all counts now. We have to go into Houston ready to play hard and stay focused."
Playing mediocre and tired opponents may not be the best preparation for the regular season, but Washington said that playing these international teams was important because it gave her players experience in a game situation.
"It's important to be in a game situation with people in the stands and officials making calls where we can work together and play against their defense," Washington said. "We had a chance to work through our offense and try all the options. We got a chance to see what we could do and that will help prepare us."

Women's basketball to gain juco transfers
By Melinda Weaver
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team will add two junior college transfers who will add size and a scoring threat to next season's team.
Dalchon Brown, a 6-foot-5 center from Independence (Kan.) Community College, and Fernanda Bosi, a 6-0 shooting guard from Western Nebraska Junior College, signed letters of intent yesterday to play for Kansas next season.
Brown, a junior college preseason All-American, committed verbally to Kansas two years ago as a senior at Green Run High School in Virginia Beach, Va., but had to attend junior college because her grades did not make her eligible to play Division I.
At Green Run, Brown was among the top high school players in Virginia, averaging 14.7 points, 11.4 rebounds
"She has a great inside game that really opens us up on the perimeter."

and 8.0 steals per game.
At Independence, she was the 12thranked junior college freshman last season.
"She can run the floor and has great hands," said Independence coach Keitha Green. "Her size is an added strength, and she is a quality person. She has a great inside game that really opens us up on the perimeter. She's a very talented young lady."
Kansas coach Marian Washington said Brown would make a good addition in the post, a position which has been thin for Kansas.
"Dalconch is a much improved player," Washington said. "She is big, but she is very agile and quick. She could develop into a strong inside
into a strong inside player for us."
Brown said she has had her eye on the Kansas program since high school, and she said that she thought her hard work ethic would benefit the team as much as the atmosphere at the University would benefit her education.

Washington: pleased with fall recruits
"When I met the
team and coaches, I just felt like I was at home," Brown said. "As far as the atmosphere and the school, educationwise I think it will really good for me, and I will do well here. I work hard at everything I do, and I can work hard to
be a good team leader. I have improved a lot. I can score and rebound, and I am becoming an all-round player."
Bosi, who averaged 15 points and 16 rebounds per game, is a native of San Pablo, Brazil. Last season, she was named All-Region after leading her Western Nebraska team to a 14th-place ranking in the junior college polls.
Washington said she expected Bosi to make an impact right away next season as she will be needed to add a shooting attack after the loss of guard Suzi Raymant to graduation.
"I am really delighted because I was very worried about all the scoring we are losing and have been trying to find consistent outside shooting for next season," Washington said. "She doesn't only add shooting but also rebounding. She is very mature. She brings an intense energy and knows the game well. I think she will work well in our system."

Wegner takes on role of Dylen Smith's mentor

and suited up for spring practice. But he was to face another challenge this fall in the form of junior college transfer Smith.
Wegner never viewed it that way. He merely viewed Smith as someone who would push him and make other better with competition. And when it was announced four games into the season that Smith would start instead of Wegner, it could have been viewed by some as the end of an era.
After all, Wegner had started 18 straight games when he wasn't injured and was among Kansas' all-time leaders in passing vards. completions and attempts.
Wegner took it in stride and tried to accept his role as another coach on the sidelines — but Chandler thinks otherwise.
"Zac would be lying and I'd be lying if he didn't want to be out there," Chandler said. "But as an athlete he respected the fact that Dylen can do a little more on the field than he can."
Wegner had the tools to be a star quarterback — at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, Wegner is a big, strong-armed quarterback with good touch on the football — but his accuracy kept him back.
Interceptions have plagued Wegner throughout his career — he has a 1:1 career touchdown-to-interception ratio — but for Allen, that's negligible because he has such respect for him as a person.
"For all his throwing ability he could never throw with much consistency," Coach Terry Allen said.
"I really admire him for what he's been through. From my perspective you couldn't
"I really admire him for what he's been through. From my perspective you couldn't ask for anything more."

ask for anything more," Allen said.
Wegner's perseverance has paid dividends this season with the knowledge he has gained while standing on the sidelines being a coach to Smith. A communications major, Wegner is entertaining thoughts of coaching after he graduates in May and might accept a position on Allen's staff as a graduate assistant if a position is available. But Wegner is not about to limit his options to just coaching.
"If a job comes along, I don't know if I could pass that up," he said.
It's not because he harbors any ill will toward Allen and his staff either. Despite less playing time this season, Wegner is grateful that he was given the chance to play Division I football for so long — and especially for the Jayhawks.
"I've got no regrets about anything." Wegner said.
Chandler, a target for Wegner the past four years, knows how to write the perfect ending for the senior co-captains during Saturday's game against Iowa State.
"It'd be great for me and Zac to hook up.
On a touchdown pass," Chandler said.

Baseball recruits sign letters of intent to play for Kansas Jayhawks
By Jason Walker sports@kanson.com
Kansan sportswriter
They want to be Javahaws
Kansas baseball coach Bobby Randall got some good news yesterday from three recruits.
The recruits signed letters of intent yesterday to play baseball at Kansas. They include Justin Davis, a middle infielder from Grayson Junior College in Denison, Texas; Justin Wilcher, a left-handed pitcher from Garden City Community College; and high school senior Matt Trible, a left-handed pitcher and outfielder from Wheaton, Ill.
Davis led his team to the 1999 National Junior College Athletics Association National Championship after hitting .330 with seven home runs and 45 RBI. He also was named honorable mention All-Conference.
"His talent and experience will be a tremendous asset to our club in the future," Randall said.
Randall said he thought that Davis was a standout player on one of the best junior college teams in the country.
Wilcher, a sophomore at Garden City, is a native of Denton, Texas. He attended Billy Ryan High School where he was named to second team all district and Denton Record Chronicle All-Area. Denton also is the hometown of current Kansas baseball player John Nelson.
Randall said he was excited about adding another left-handed pitcher to his roster.
"Justin will come to us after an impressive high school career and two years of quality junior college experience," he said.
Tribble, the final one to sign, is a senior at Wheaton-Warrenville South High School. He led his school to back-to-back conference championships the last two years while amassing a .444 career batting average with 11 home runs and 67 RBI. He was 5-1 last year on the mound with an earned run average of 3.13.
"I'm very excited," Tribble said about playing for the Jayhawks. "It's a great opportunity. I fell in love as soon as I got down there. I can't wait to get down there and play."
Tribble also has earned several accolades at the high school level, including two-time team most valuable player and conference MVP. Randall said he was looking forward to the contributions Tribble could make to the Jayhawks in the future.
"Matt has had an excellent career at the high school level, and we are confident he can bring that success to the University of Kansas," he said.

Big 12 rush leader powers Cyclones
Davis' legacy to end on Jayhawks' field
By Michael Rigg
kigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
For the last six seasons, the key to beating the Iowa State Cyclones has been simple: stop the running back named Davis.
Troy Davis, an All-American running back at Iowa State in 1995 and 1996, now plays in the NFL for the New Orleans Saints. His younger brother, Darren, has led the Cyclones in rushing for the last three seasons and was a preseason all-Big 12 Conference selection.
Cyclones coach Dan McCarney's view of the Davis brothers' legacies at Iowa State is simple: there never have been any better running backs.
"There will never be another No. 28 like there was with the two Davis brothers," McCarrney said. "I don't know anybody past or present that has done more for this university than they have."
On Saturday, when the Cyclones play Kansas, the Davis' legacy will end. Darren Davis will be playing his final game in an Iowa State uniform, and McCarney admits it will be hard to see him go.
"It's going to be hard to say goodbye to that kid and to his family." McCarney said.
During his four years in Ames, Darren Davis has accumulated 4,902 yards rushing, second only to Troy Davis. This season, Darren Davis has gone from good to great, as he currently ranks seventh in the nation and first in the Big 12 with 1,313 yards. But he also has been a Kansas Jayhawk killer the past two seasons, racking up 451 yards rushing against the Jayhawks in the last two meetings.
"If you don't stop Darren Davis, then you don't stop their offense." Allen said. "Their offense is focused 100 percent around him."
Kansas coach Terry Allen knows how vital Darren Davis is to the Iowa State offense.
McCarney cites overall athletic ability as the reason behind Darren Davis' success.
"He has phenomenal athletic abilities, and he is a playmaker," McCarney said. "He's got great hands, he can make a lot of people miss him in the open field, and he's one of the toughest football players I've ever been around."
The entire college football community also is starting to notice Darren Davis' outstanding abilities, as he as been named one of 15 finalists for Football News' Offensive Player of the Year and is making a run at the Doak Walker Award, given annually to the nation's top running back. But despite all the attention, Darren
"I just don't like to talk very much about myself," Darren Davis said. "I like to talk about other guys and keep the attention focused on the team."
Davis is quick to remain humble.
And the team has exceeded many expectations this season, as the Cyclones nearly upset Texas and Kansas State, while defeating Missouri on the road. A win on Saturday would give Iowa State its best season since 1989.
But the end of the season also signifies the end of the relationship between McCarney and Darren Davis, a relationship both have said is more like father-son than player-coach.
"It's been outstanding," Darren Davis said. "You always say you can't wait to be a senior, but now it's different. It hurts so bad to think about playing my last game with him. He's like a father."

Florida State vs. Florida tops weekend intrastate rivalries
By Richard Rosenblatt
AP Football Writer
Unlike some of Saturday's rivalry games, Florida-Florida State needs no gimmick. It's not The Game or the Big Game or the Apple Cup. There are no barrels, baskets or buckets on the line, either.
When the top-ranked Seminoles (10-0) and third-ranked Gators (9-1) meet in The Swamp, they'll play for one prize — a ticket to the national championship game.
In four of the past six seasons, the Florida-Florida State winner has played for the national title. The teams even met for the title in the Sugar Bowl after the Seminoles beat the Gators in the 96 regular season.
If the Seminoles win, they are a virtual lock to finish first in the final Bowl Championship Series standings, which determine the teams in its national title game (the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4). If the Gators win, they would then need to win the SEC title game on Dec. 4 to put themselves in a
strong position to play for another championship.
"Hands down, it's the biggest game of my career," said Weinke, who missed the final few games of last season with a neck injury. The Gators counter with Drew McIntyre.
The Gators counter with Doug Johnson — and Jesse Palmer. A cranky Gator coaches Steve Spurrier indicated this week Johnson will start, but Palmer will play, too. The two may even alternate every play, just like Johnson and Noah Brindise did when the Gators beat the 'Noles 32-29 in 97.
Johnson has thrown for 2,360 yards and 19 touchdowns, but has just three touchdown passes — and five interceptions — in the Gators' last five games. In last week's 20-3 win against South Carolina, Johnson sat and Palmer played the whole game.
Several other rivalry games will decide conference titles and major bowl bids.
Commentary
In the Big Game, Stanford (6-3, 6-1) needs a win against California (4-6, 3-4) to clinch the Pac-10 title and a Rose Bowl berth against Wisconsin.
If Cal wins, then Oregon or Washington could earn a trip to Pasadena. Oregon State visits Oregon in the Civil War, and Washington State is at Washington for the Apple Cup.
Also, No. 8 Alabama (8-2, 6-1 SEC) is at Auburn (5-5, 2-5) in the Iron Bowl, needing a win against its rival to earn a trip to the league title game against Florida; and No. 19 Purdue (6-4, 3-4 Big Ten) visits Indiana (4-6, 3-4) for the Old OakenBucket.

Cyclo-cross competitors risk bike, limb
By Jim O'Mallev
Special to the Kansan
It's called cyclo-cross, but in normal winter weather it could be called psycho-cross.
About 50 bicycle racers gathered at the river trails north of Lawrence on Sunday for the season's first cyclocross race.
In classic cyclo-cross, racers ride skinny-tired road bikes off-road in the fall and winter on terrain that is better-suited to mountain bikes, although skinny-tired bikes were not required in Sunday's race. The sport began in Europe long before the invention of the mountain bike as a way for bicycle road racers to stay in shape during the winter, said Dan Hughes, manager of the Sunflower Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., and occasional cyclo-cross racer.
Hughes said races lasted about an hour. Races go on no matter how cold, muddy or snowy the weather, and the exertion keeps racers warm, Hughes said. The terrain requires racers to dismount often and run, carrying their bikes over obstacles. Hughes said that
cyclo-cross required an intense level of effort the whole way and that it improved riders' bike-handling skills.
Cyclo-cross racing has taken on recently and become a sport in its own right, Hughes said.
Matt Minard, Lenexa sophomore, said cyclo-cross was part of the extreme sport trend.
Lawrence Bicycle Club Racing is sponsoring three cyclo-cross races this fall and winter.
The unseasonably warm weather made Sunday's race different from the usual cyclo-cross race.
"It's not cross weather," said Curtis Martell, race organizer. "It's not right."
Brent Buenger, Lawrence graduate student, said mud and snow made the races more fun. He said he preferred to race in the cold.
Thom Leonard, a local racer and United States Cycling Federation official, agreed that mud and snow were part of the perverse appeal of the sport. Brakes don't work, the hills are harder to run up and mud jams up the riders' equipment.
"It adds challenge," he said.
Minard won Sunday's race with a time of 55.03. Minard has raced on the U.S. National Road Cycling Team and will turn pro next semester.
Even without snow and mud, the race
"Those sand burrs are evil," Martell said.
was hard on equipment. Riders warming up before the race picked up so many flat tires in grassy area that race organizers re-routed the course.
The course included some short, steep drops, followed immediately by short, steep climbs and two sets of man-made obstacles — low hurdles that required riders to dismount, pick up their bikes, jump the hurdles and then get back on it a run.
Nine racers did not finish, mostly because of equipment problems. Some were more serious than flat tires. Joe Horgan, a lawyer who works in suburban Kansas City, broke his bike frame when he hit a tree stump. He said it was a lack of bike-handling skills that caused the accident. But, he said the $700 bike frame was under warranty.
Racers rode a variety of bikes. Some rode mountain bikes with suspension forks. Most rode cross-bikes, which are modified road bikes with wider, knobbier tires
Two racers rode single-speed bikes.
Eric Schuster, a racer from Kansas City, explained the advantage of single speed bikes.
"Nothing can go wrong but me," he said.

Evans' seasons divided by World War II service
Continued from page 1B
however, Evans' wife, Edith, said that she thought Evans turned down the offer because he wanted to play football and basketball.
At Kansas, Evans decided that he would concentrate only on two sports — basketball and football.
Although Evans' basketball and football jerseys, were retired by the University in 1997, Evans probably is remembered best for his contributions in football.
16
As a halfback, Evans racked up some impressive stats. He led the nation in passing with 1,117 yards in 1942. As a safety, Evans recorded 10 interceptions in 1942 and a total of 17 in his career, both Kansas records. But Fambrough said that Evans never was concerned with statistics.
"I don't think Ray even knew there were records," Fambrough said. "He wasn't seeking any glory, he was just doing his job."
By the end of the 1942 season, Evans had established himself as a dominant athlete at Kansas, but his best years were yet to come.
War interruption
In fact, Evans met Fambrough in the service.
Evans' playing career at Kansas was interrupted at the end of the 1943 season when he enlisted in the Air Force and served in World War II.
"Ray was instrumental in getting me to Kansas. We played service ball together, and we always talked about how nice it would be to play college ball together." Fambrough said.
After their term in the service ended in 1945, Evans returned to Kansas for his final two years, and Fambrough earned a football scholarship.
Ray Evans shows a defensive stance in his No. 15 Kansas basketball uniform. In his basketball career at Kansas, Evans was a four-time All-Big Six selection and a national All-American in 1943. He also received All-American honors in football in 1946, making him the only Kansas athlete to be an All-American in both sports. Photo courtesy of Sports Information
When Evans and Fambrough arrived together at Kansas, Evans found his future wife, Edith.
"I got to know him through his best friend who happened to be my brother-in-law," Edith Evans said. "I really liked the way he played both sports, but I don't have an opinion on which one he was better at. I just liked to watch him play."
Edith was quite a bit younger and, like Evans, went to Wyandotte High School. She said that she knew who Ray was when he was in high school, but that she did not really know him.
Evans again played football and basketball for the Jayhawks after the war and was selected captain of the 1946 football team. He led that year's Jayhawks to a 7-2-1 record, which marked Kansas' first winning season in 13 years.
Watch him play she did.
Fambrough said the Jayhawks success would not have been possible without Evans' leadership.
"I know it's been said a million times, but Ray was the kind of player who led by his actions and I feel sure that when
they first said that about a player, they had Ray Evans in mind," Fambrough said.
The Orange Bowl and beyond
Evans' final year of football, the 1947-48 season, was his best. Led by two of his closest friends, captains Otto Schnellbacher and Fambrough, the team finished tied for first place in the Big Six with an 8-1-2 record.
Ray Evans cuts upfield with the football. In 1948, Evans' relentless style of play led Kansas to the Orange Bowl, where the Jayhawks lost to Georgia Tech, 20-14. The game marked Kansas' first appearance in a postseason bowl. Photo courtesy of Sports Information
While the regular season was chock full of highlights for Evans, the postseason brought what Edith called Ray Evans' most disappointing moment in sports.
The team's record and finish landed it in the Orange Bowl, Kansas' first postseason bowl appearance.
Facing a No. 10 Georgia Tech team, the No. 13 Jayhawks battled close to the end. Evans ran for one score and caught another. But with Kansas trailing 20-14 late in the game, Kansas quarterback Lynne McNutt fumbled the ball on the goal line, which ended the game and Evans' Kansas football career.
"I think his biggest disappointment was not winning that Orange Bowl," Edith Evans said.
The most outstanding thing that Fambrough remembered about the game, however, was the final play.
42
"All the way down the field, it was Evans left, Evans right," Fambrough said. "And I'll never understand why we called a quarterback sneak on the goal line. Most people would've complained about not getting the ball, I would have, but Ray never did. That indicated the type of person he was."
Evans' popularity only grew when he stepped on the basketball court. Fambrough said that he remembered watching Evans play basketball and that he saw an incredible likeness to Evans the football player.
"When I watched him play, he was unreal," he said. "He had quick feet, played incredible defense and was tough and strong just like on the football field. He was a joy to watch."
Evans played at Kansas under the legendary coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen. In all four years, he was voted all-Big
Six selection. He led the Jayhawks to a 22-6 record and a NCAA tournament in 1942, and a conference title in 1943.
After returning from the war, Evans kept playing basketball. In 1946, he again led the Jayhawks to the NCAA tournament and another Big Six title.
"Ray Evans was so popular, he could've been the governor of Kansas," Fambrough said. "Both on the field and on the court, as well as away from sports, Evans was just a special person. What made him special was his Godgiven ability, but what made him unique was that he was just a great person."
the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1948 before becoming a banker in the Kansas City area. In 1997, Evans returned to Kansas to see his basketball jersey retired, about a year before he died at his Kansas City-area home last April. He was 76.
"Ray was one of those rare individuals who comes along once in a century," said Otto Schnellbacher, Evans' basketball and football teammate at Kansas. "Not only was he a great athlete, he was a great person with it. When things got tough, he was somehow right there on the front row to make the play."

Chipper Jones wins NL MVP
The Associated Press
NEW YORK— Chipper Jones won the National League Most Valuable Player Award in a landslide yesterday following a season in which he hit 45 homers and carried Atlanta to an eight straight division title.
Jones received 29 of 32 first-place votes and finished with 432 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He also received two second-place votes and one third.
Houston first baseman Jeff Bagwell was second with one first and 276 points, followed by Arizona third baseman Matt Williams, who had two firsts and 269 points. They were the only players picked on every ballot.
Cincinnati's Greg Vaughn was fourth with 121 points and St. Louis' Mark McGwire was fifth with 115, followed by the New York Mets' Robin Ventura (113), Mike Piazza (109) and Edgardo Alfonzo (88). Chicago's Sammy Sosa was ninth at 87.
"From a personal standpoint, it's
been great," Jones said late in the season. "I couldn't ask for anything more. I worked my tail off during the off season to get better, and it's been just awesome. It's nice that all the hard work is bearing some fruit."
The 27-year-old third baseman became the first Brave to win the award, joining Bob Elliott (1947), Hank Aaron (1957), Dave Murphy
(1982 and '83) and Terry Pendleton (1991).
THE NATIONAL LABOR
Jones hit .319,
with 110 RBIs, 116
runs, 25 steals
and 126 walks. He
finished third in
homers behind Mark McGwire (65) and Sammy Sosa (63) and third in walks; fourth in slugging percentage (.633), on-base percentage (.441) and total bases (359); seventh in runs; and 10th in batting.
After June 15, he hit 30 homers and drove in 79 runs.
sense you can do no wrong at the plate. He has a lot of confidence."
Jones gained momentum in September when he homered four times in Atlanta's three-game sweep of the New York Mets. When the Braves went to Shea Stadium the following week and returned in October for the Championship Series, Mets fans taunted him with slow chants of "Lar-ry. Lar-ry," his real first name.
"It seems uncanny that he's been able to hit it over the fence, uncanny that he's that hot right now." Mets manager Bobby Valentine said then. "Four big ones in three games is pretty good."
With Andres Galarraga missing the year and Javy Lopez missing the last two months of the regular season and the postseason, Jones at times seemed like Atlanta's only offense.
"He's the MVP right now," pitcher Greg Maddux said in September. "Look at what the guy has done down the stretch. That carries more weight than the first three months of the season."
Rider causing headaches in Atlanta
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Only six games into his Atlanta career, Isaiah Rider has repeatedly demonstrated to the Hawks why he's considered one of the NBA's biggest headaches.
The mercurial guard returned to practice yesterday after a one-game suspension for again running afoul of team rules, culminating with his failure to attend practice Monday.
But Rider balked at filling the sixth-man role that Coach Lenny Wilkens envisions for the team's leading scorer. Rider says he deserves to be a starter.
Rider refused to characterize his comments as a trade demand, but he is clearly unhappy in Atlanta. General manager Pete Babcock already has had preliminary talks with several teams.
"One day, he wants to be traded."
The next day, he doesn't want to be traded," Babcock said. "I told him if he decides for sure that he wants to be somewhere else, we'll see if there's a market for him. I'm not opposed to making a deal."
Portland Trail Blazers in an August trade, has missed two of Atlanta's eight games and been fined several times. He lost nearly $66,000 when he was suspended without pay for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.
One player short, the Hawks (2-6) defeated the Hornets 103-89 to snap a four-game losing streak. Rider said he didn't watch the game on television and again objected to playing for a team that he considers to be in a rebuilding mode.
Rider, who was acquired from the
"I'm too old to be rebuilding," the 28-year-old said. "I get frustrated when things don't go right."
Rider had a long list of transgressions on and off the court when he was acquired by Atlanta, which traded one of the league's most reliable players. Steve Smith.
The Hawks hoped Rider would change his ways, but the team also knew it was freeing up money under the salary cap if things didn't work out. He is making $5.4 million in the last year of his contract.
after the season.
It is highly unlikely Rider would be released by the Hawks, who don't want to lose the flexibility of a possible sign-and-trade deal
"We made the deal looking at the worse-case scenario," Babcock said. "So far, it has been the worse-case scenario. There's no use sugarcaring it."
Rider created trouble right away with his new team, failing to show up for the first day of training camp. He provided a convoluted explanation that ranged from his fear of flying on a small plane to his reluctance to play for a team that has seven new players.
Then, Rider missed the season opener, saying he had to be in Texas for his grandfather's funeral. He assured the team he would be at practice the next day but failed to show.
“It’s unfortunate that I got suspended,” Rider said. “Now, it’s time to win. That’s what makes me happy. Winning.”
At least one of his new teammates already seems to be tiring of Rider's antics.
"I didn't bring Isaiah here," center Dikembe Mutbumba said. "They [team officials] brought him here. They will have to deal with that."

Gay marriage costs Methodist pastor his robe
Church says wedding violated church law
The Associated Press
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — A United Methodist pastor who set off controversy three years ago by holding a lesbian wedding was defrocked yesterday for officiating at a marriage of two men.
The case against the Rev. Jimmy Creech was the second test of a United Methodist ban on homosexual marriage.
A jury of 13 Nebraska ministers imposed the penalty after unanimously convicting Creech of violating church law.
A defiant Creech, 55, predicted after the verdict that it would widen the wound of the soul of the 9.5-million-member church
The punishment could have ranged from minor sanctions to a penalty even more severe than the loss of his ministerial credentials: banishment from the church.
Acting as his own attorney, Creech had refused to enter a plea, saying that would legitimize the church law he was accused of violating, and he pronounced the trial corrupted, contaminated and illicit. He implored the jury during the 90-minute trial to refuse to reach a verdict.
"I believe the law that prohibits pastors from celebrating holy unions with gay and lesbian couples is an unjust and immoral law," he said. "Our beloved United Methodist Church has been infected with bigotry. It's bad theology."
He could appeal his conviction to national church officials.
Creech was tried for marrying two gay men in North Carolina last April. On the
eve of his trial, he presided at a recommitment ceremony for the two men, Larry Ellis and James Raymer.
Creech first touched off a controversy within the church when he performed aunion ceremony for a lesbian couple in hisOmaha congregation in 1997.
After that trial, Creech was not reappointed to his pulpit but remained a member of the clergy.
After a trial, a church tribunal decided not to act against him, leaving it unclear whether a ban on performing same-sex commitments carries the weight of church law. The church's Judicial Council has since ruled that it does.
The first test of the United Methodist Church's ban on homosexual marriage came in March when the Rev. Gregory Dell of Illinois was found guilty of breaking church law and suspended for blessing
the union of two Chicago men
Before Creech's trial yesterday, 74 of his supporters were arrested for trespassing as they locked arms and sang hymns in front of Trinity United Methodist Church, where the proceeding was held.
The Rev. Fred Phelps, an evangelical minister from Topeka, known for condemning homosexuals, stood with a few other demonstrators.
"We're following brother Creech around like an ugly dog," Phelps said.
Earlier this year, leaders of the 2.6-million-member Presbyterian Church rejected a measure that could have led to the ordination of non-cellate gays and lesbians.
And on Tuesday, Georgia's Southern Baptists voted for the first time in their 177-year history to expel two Atlanta-area churches for allowing homosexuals to serve as leaders.
Y2K to cost U.S. $100 billion, government says
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The government pinned a staggering $100 billion price tag yesterday on the nation's repair bills for the Year 2000 technology problem, or $365 for each man, woman and child.
For all that, the Commerce Department predicted the impact of Y2K computer failures on the economy would be merely something like a tangled shoelace for a world-class marathon runner.
In a new report, the government said America's booming economy was sufficiently stable, large and resilient and that failures — even those overseas — would not seriously affect the nation's $9 trillion gross domestic product.
"Any glitches that pop up next year should not hurt our economic growth." Commerce Secretary William Daley said. "I am not going to lose any sleep."
The $100 billion figure for total repairs from 1995 through 2001 was generally in line with other estimates but still is an enormous amount. Private analysts last month put the figure at $114 billion.
It is roughly the same as the total spent last year by seven of the largest federal agencies, enough to buy almost seven 747
Y2K
jumbo jets and just more than the personal fortune of Microsoft's chairman, Bill Gates.
Commerce Undersecretary Robert J. Shapiro said some Y2K precautions — such as companies adjusting inventories to hedge against possible supply problems could affect the pattern and timing of economic growth.
Those rising expenditures, for example, could add to growth during the last three months of 1999 but likely would slow it during the first months of 2000 to compensate.
Shapiro also said consumers who decide to stockpile food, water or other supplies could drive up prices in the final six weeks of this year.
Another government report, being released today, predicted only a slight risk of serious or widespread disruptions in the nation's food supply. Consumer hoarding and weather-related problems could cause spot shortages, but food companies have made remarkable progress in getting their computerized systems ready, the report said.
President Clinton's top Y2K expert, John Koskinen, also cautioned yesterday that several hundred thousand smaller companies
nationwide have not performed any repairs and apparently intend to fix problems after they occur.
Koskinen warned that business owners will find long waits for technical support and new equipment in the earliest weeks of the new year, and some of them may lose their customers and go out of business.
"We are getting close to it being too late to start," said Kokkinen, chairman of the President's Council on Year 2000 Conversion.
Daley's generally optimistic remarks mirror statements made during past months by top U.S. financial leaders. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, for example, has warned that stockpiling and inventory hedging against possible failures could cause more trouble than the Y2K elitch itself.
One critic complained yesterday that the Commerce report focused too much on repair costs and snap-
proprietially painted a bright, sunny picture of this stuff.
"This country's highest level of risk right now is due to the complacency of arrogance, believing this thing is solved because we spent enough money," said Howard Rubin, who works on Y2K for the United Nations and on Y2K for the Cap Gemini consulting firm.
The new report said spending on Y2K repairs climbed from $5 billion in 1995 and peaked last year and this year at about $30 billion each. It was predicted to drop next year to about $5 billion.
The federal government has said previously it will spend $8.4 billion on Y2K repairs.
"The greatest cost to our economy is behind us," said Daley.
He acknowledged that $100 billion was absolutely a lot of money, but added that the potential cost of not doing anything was far greater.
Trump launches campaign Web site, not yet sure if he will run
Site was constructed by the Web master of Jesse Ventura
The Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. — New York developer Donald Trump launched a campaign Web site yesterday run by Gov. Jesse Ventura's Web master in another sign of their allegiance and Trump's presidential intentions.
"Donald J. Trump may be the experienced, decisive can-do businessman America needs as president in the new millennium," the site reads.
At the site, www.donaldtrump2000.com, visitors can read about Trump's plan to eliminate the national debate, his background, make a donation or volunteer.
Roger Stone, head of Trump's presidential exploratory committee, said the site was definitively a sign that the developer would enter the race for the Reform Party presidential nomination.
Phil Madsen, the creative force behind Ventura's Web site, said his goal was to develop "E-team Trump," an online community. He performed a similar feat for Ventura, mobilizing 8,000 subscribers in the final days of the 1998 gubernatorial campaign.
Stone said, "The single most important thing we'd like to do with our Web site is provide information to the American people on Trump's national debt reduction plan."
Trump also will be trying to decide whether to run.
him make that decision is to see how many Americans register their support," Stone said.
"One of the things that will help
If Trump runs, he will be competing against experienced and established backers of form e r Republican Pat Buchanan, who is now seeking the Reform Party nomination.
TRUMP
"Trump is not running as a
Trump: may make bid for Reform Party nomination
Democrat or Republican so we're going to have to create an organization out of nothing." Madsen said.
If he runs, Trump will need to petition for ballot access in the 29 states
and Washington, where the party isn't automatically listed on ballots.
The Web site and the hiring of Madsen are signs that Trump is putting together an organization. They also are indicators of the closeness of Trump and Ventura, and the coolness to Buchanan in the Ventura faction of the Reform Party.
"Given the choices between Pat Buchanan and Donald Trump, I'll take Trump in a heartbeat," Madsen said.
Madsen said he informed Ventura of his decision to work for Trump and got his OK. He does not, however, consult with the governor, he said.
"I am not a conduit for Gov. Ventura to get to Trump," Madsen said.
Stone also is considering hiring Ventura's 1988 campaign manager.
Doug Friedline, possibly as a national political director. Friedline said he's interested.
"I think Mr. Trump is starting to become a serious candidate. Thirty days ago I don't think he was a serious candidate." Friedle said.
Stone said Trump found Ventura's aides a good fit.
"In many ways Trump and Ventura are very similar," Stone said. "They are larger-than-life characters from outside of politics. They are both controversial. They are both outspoken. In taking on the established political order, they are taking on long odds."
And the Trump camp likes another thing about the nation's only Reform Party governor.
"Ventura won," Stone said. "There's a model there. There are some lessons there."
Sprint, MCI file for approval of merger deal, await clearance
The Associated Press
MCI
WASHINGTON — MC. WorldCom and Sprint filed for approval of their proposed merger with the Federal Communications Commission yesterday and defended the deal as an appropriate answer to today's changing marketplace.
Officials from both companies said they expect the deal to pass regulatory muster and hope it will be cleared by the middle of next year.
The two businesses pressed their view that the deal is not a marriage between the No. 2 and No. 3 long-distance companies, but more broadly a merger between the No. 4 and No. 7 telecommunications businesses.
The companies want to position themselves to offer a combination of long-distance, wireless and high-speed Internet services with the deal, announced in October and originally valued at $115 billion.
"Two or three years ago, this would be very hard to get done." Sprint general counsel J. Richard Devil said of the merger.
But the companies think there are enough competitors in the market now, with some 600 long-distance carriers, and no obstacles to new businesses getting in.
Company officials said they anticipated antitrust regulators reviewing their case also would consider what the state of the market will be in a few years. With at least one of the regional Bell companies on the brink of receiving permission to enter the long-distance business, it could alter the landscape of competition even further, they said.
"I think people will have an open mind. I think we have to persuade them," said Michael Salsbury, MCI general counsel.
But both agencies this weekend stressed that no decision has been made vet on the transaction.
When the deal was announced FCC Chairman Bill Kennard said the companies would bear a heavy burden to show how consumers would be better off. Joel Klein, the assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's antitrust division, also promised at the time that the deal would get a very serious and thorough review.
Devlin acknowledged that concerns have been raised about the amount of control the merger would give the two companies' over the Internet backbone — the massive data pipelines that crisscross the nation carrying computer traffic.
DKNY EYES
"Sprint is prepared to address that issue." Devlin said.
The Etc. Shop
Some analysts have speculated that Sprint might have to shed some of its backbone for the deal to receive approval.

U.N. official plans Chechnyan visit after urging Russia to help refugees
The Associated Press
MOSCOW— Russian officials insisted yesterday that no humanitarian catastrophe is looming for Chechen civilians, after the top United Nation refugee official urged Russia to protect the tens of thousands of people who have fled fighting in the breakaway republic.
U. N. High Commissioner for Refugees Sadako Ogata told Russian leaders of growing international concern for the Chechens forced to leave their homes because of Moscow's military offensive.
After meeting with Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, Ogata said she had tried to convey the secretary-general's concern and understanding, his appreciation of the difficulty in controlling and tackling terrorism, the importance of caring for the civilian population.
Despite widespread refuge complaints and growing Western concern, Russia's Minister for Emergency Situations Sergei Shoigu told Ogata that there is no humanitarian catastrophe.
Russia repeatedly has said it was capable of meeting the refugees' needs on its own, but said it would
consider international aid to them.
More than 211,000 people have fled Chechnya, thousands of them ending up in refugee camps where they live in old railroad cars or in crowded tents in frozen fields, complaining of food shortages and poor medical care.
Ogata is to visit refugees today in northern Chechnya, which is under firm Russian control, and in neighboring Ingushetia. She would be the most prominent international official to travel to Chechnya since Russia began its assault in early September, saying it aimed to wipe out Islamic rebels who twice had invaded neighboring Dagestan. The rebels also are blamed with apartment bombings that killed some 300 people in Russia.

While Ogata conferred in Moscow, Russian aircraft bombed rebel positions in the Argun Canyon near the border with Georgia.
Georgian officials said Russian helicopters dropped anti-personnel mines inside Georgia, but Russian officials denied that.
Airstrikes killed 11 people and wounded 18 others in several villages around Urus-Martan, a strategically important town
soutwest of the Chechen capital Grozny, local officials said.
The thunder of artillery could be heard from all sides in Grozny as Russian troops pressed toward the city.
Russian officials have said as many as 6,000 rebel fighters are believed to be in Grozny, and the Russian Defense Ministry said Wednesday that rebels are filling railroad tank cars with explosives to make huge bombs.
Chechen authorities claim more than 4,100 civilians have been killed in Russian air and artillery strikes. Human rights groups have accused the Russian military of indiscriminate attacks on civilians.
Leaders to confront Russian president about military crackdown in Chechnya
Clinton, Yeltsin to face off in Turkey
The Associated Press
ISTANBUL, Turkey—President Clinton, on the eve of a summit of 54 world leaders, staked out ground yesterday for a showdown with Boris Yeltsin about Russia's military crackdown in Chechnya and the growing toll of civilian casualties.
But the Russian leader made clear he was not interested in being lectured, saying his colleagues should curb their outrage or risk failure of their talks.
"We have concerns that there is indiscriminate use of violence in the escalation of the conflict in the last several months," White House press secretary Joe Lockhart said. Berger expressed alarm about inordinate harm to
Despite Yeltsin's defiant stand, Clinton and other leaders intend to use the two-day summit to express deep concern about civilian losses caused by Russian air and ground assaults in the breakaway republic and the resulting refugee flood, National Security Adviser Sandy Berger said.
civilians
Clinton has raised objections before, with no apparent success. He will meet with Yeltsin today, in the two leaders' first face-to-face exchange since the Chechnya fighting resumed in September.
A representative for Yeilsin said controversy surrounding U.S. plans to modify the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty also would come high on the agenda. The United States wants to amend the treaty in order to build a national missile defense system to protect from attacks by rogue states such as North Korea. Russian officials have vehemently opposed the plan, saying the move would undo the entire system of arms control agreements.
Also yesterday, Yeltsin asked the Russian parliament to ratify the global nuclear test ban treaty. The timing was symbolic, coming just before the Clinton meeting and not long after the Senate defeat of the treaty made the United States the first nuclear power to specifically reject the
treaty. Russia has strongly criticized the Senate vote.
More than a third of the world's presidents and prime ministers gathered in this Bosporus city linking Asia and Europe for a summit of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
In a high stakes competition for influence and wealth, Clinton will witness the signing of a Washington-backed agreement for a million-barrel-a-day Caspian Sea oil pipeline across Turkey. The deal is a blow to Russia, now the sole transit point for Caspian energy. But Clinton hopes the agreement will strengthen Turkey, a NATO ally, and cement ties with the former Soviet republics of Azerbeijan, Georgia and Turkmenistan.
Clinton spent most of the day with his family touring the ancient ruins of Ephesus, first colonized by Ionian Greeks in the 10th century B.C.
The president also met with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to review peace negotiations with the Palestinians and strategies to lure Syria back to the bargaining table, three years after talks broke off. Berger said there was no particular progress to report on the Syrian front.
Hurricane strengthens, Virgin Islands in its path
The Associated Press
CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands— Hurricane Lenny's winds climbed to 150 mph yesterday, after its ominous first gusts and rains ripped off roofs, hurled boats onto shore and flooded homes with up to a foot of water as it roared toward the Virgin Islands.
St. Croix and the British Virgin Islands were expected to bear the brunt of the storm's fury. Officials warned that the storm could spawn tornadoes and drench the islands with up to 15 inches of rain.
"My yard is completely flooded out, the telephone lines are whistling and the rain is beating against the house," said Anthony Lewis of Frederiksted, St. Croix's second-largest town. He said he spent yesterday morning bailing water out of his house.
Feeding off the warm Caribbean waters, Lenny's winds strengthened to 150 mph yesterday, making it a Category 4 hurricane capable of extreme damage. The storm was about 20 miles south of St. Croix early yesterday afternoon, heading northeast at 12 mph. Hurricane winds
extended 60 miles from its center, and extended tropical storm-force winds another 175 miles.
Lenny's lateness in the season and easterly path left even experienced observers agape. "It's unheard of," said veteran meteorologist John Toohey on San Juan's WOSO-AM radio. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime event."
The storm's first winds cut power and telephone service to many St. Croix homes. It ripped up trees and debris that blocked roads, kicked up dangerous waves that battered the shore and carried a steady rain that flooded extensive areas hours before the main impact was expected.
"All through the night the police were busy helping evacuate a number of individuals who sought assistance after their mobile homes and homes in low-lying areas became threatened by flood waters," said police chief Novell Francis.
Battering waves smashed over the 8-foot sea wall at Frederiksted, tore away the wooden fishermen's pier and a small part of the concrete Ann Abramson Pier where cruise ships dock.
U. S. Virgin Islands Gov. Charles Turnbull declared a state of emergency Tuesday night, installed a curfew to prevent looting and deployed the National Guard. He also asked President Clinton to declare St. Croix a disaster area, making it eligible for federal emergency funds.
Hundreds of tourists were stranded as airlines canceled flights and airports closed.
There was one fatality: a man who fell off a ladder he was using to board up windows against the storm.
On Tuesday, Lenny passed south of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, staying on an unusual west-to-east course. It then veered northeast, sparking a last-minute rush at grocery stores and gas stations throughout the islands in its path.
Lenny was blamed for damage as far off as South America. In Colombia, police said two fishermen drowned Tuesday in heavy rain and strong winds from the passing storm, and rain destroyed half the homes in the coastal town of Cabo de la Vela, leaving 540 people homeless. Lenny smashed boats on the island of Aruba, off the Venezuelan coast.
Jury convicts juvenile of murder
The Associated Press
PONTIAC, Mich.—In a case that stirred fierce debate about how to handle juvenile offenders, one of the nation's youngest murder defendants was convicted of second-degree murder for the shooting of a stranger.
Thirteen-year-old Nathaniel Abraham now awaits a judgment on whether he will be sentenced as an adult or a child for a crime committed when he was 11 years old.
"I can honestly say, he doesn't understand," Daniel Bagdade, one of his attorneys, said Tuesday after an hourlong visit with Nathaniel in jail. "He was in some shock, and I don't think he fully understood what happened."
After deliberating for 18 hours during four days, a jury returned the conviction Tuesday. Nathaniel was acquitted of first-degree murder, which could have sent him to prison for life with no chance of parole.
Judge Eugene Arthur Moore now will weigh reports from psychologists and staff
at the juvenile facility before sentencing the Michigan boy on Dec. 14.
Nathaniel could get a maximum of life in prison with a chance of parole or he could be sentenced as a juvenile to time already served, or held until his 21st birthday.
Prosecutors said they would recommend a blended sentence, keeping him imprisoned until at least age 21 and then reviewing his case to determine whether he has been rehabilitated.
Nathaniel, who sat expressionless while the verdict was read, was returned to the juvenile facility where he has been held since two days after the shooting — when police arrested the then-sixth-grader at his junior high school, his face painted for Halloween.
"This case was about intervening on behalf of a troubled and dangerous youth who needed help and didn't get it a long time ago," said prosecutor David Gorcyra. "My whole intent was to not throw away the key on an 11-year-old boy, now 13. My intent was to give him the help that he needed."

Watkins defendants want suit dismissed
By Katie Hollar
By Katie Hollar
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
No court date has been set, but the University of Kansas has responded to the petition issued by Wayne and Connie Griffin in September.
Angela Griffin was a student at the time of her death.
The Griffins allege that the University, Watkins Memorial Health Center and Randall Rock, Cheryl Hickert and Robert Brown, three Watkins health-care providers, are responsible in the death of their daughter, Angela Griffin, in September 1997. Their petition asks for $150,000 for wrongful death and survival action.
In a four-page answer, the defendants replied to each of the 18 accounts listed in the Griffin petition.
The defendants admit to some of the factual counts:
On or about Sept. 25, 1997 Angela Griffin was treated at Watkins. She was examined by Hickert, nursing practitioner, and mononucleosis was diagnosed.
Hickert and Brown, physician, are employed by Watkins
- Douglas County Court has jurisdiction in the case, and the venue is proper in Douglas County.
The defendants said they lacked sufficient information to admit that Angela Griffin attempted to follow the treatment recommended, as the Griffins' petition alleges, so they deny that count.

Railroad ties: Family roots run deep for Mexican-American students
By Michael Terry
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
When Joanna Martinez walked down Campanile Hill in 1990 and entered Memorial Stadium to receive her diploma, she looked up into the stands and caught a glimpse of her family.
Her father, Joe, was there, and mother Gina, older brother Damien, younger sister Patricia, younger brother Xavier, and a circle of cousins and inlaws all turned out to celebrate not only Joanna's special day, but also a special day for the whole family.
"The sight of my family brought a smile to my face," Joanna Martinez said. "Even though my dad's parents were never able to see me graduate, I would like to think they would be proud of what I have accomplished in my life."
Joanna Martinez also is part of a special family of Kansans who can trace their roots from Mexico to Topeka's Oakland community to the University of Kansas.
Theirs is often a family story of hardship and discrimination: but, for the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of these immigrants, it also is a story of success.
Joanna Martinez remembers her grandfather, Jose Martinez, who came from Mexico in 1918 in search of a better life.
"He traveled around working odd jobs for the first 20 years until he was able to find a permanent job," Joanna Martinez said. "In the early 1940s, he was able to
land a job with the Santa Fe Railroad as a car man's helper and began raising a family in a part of Topeka that is known today as Oakland."
Topeka's Oakland neighborhood bounded by the Kansas River to the north, Billard Airport to the south, Seward Avenue to east and the railroad tracks to the west, has been one of the centers of the Hispanic community for years.
Decades later it is often the grandchildren of those who settled in Oakland who, along with Joanna, make up the University's homegrown Hispanic community.
Building a home in Oakland
Valerie Mendoza, who has studied Mexican migration into the United States and is now working on a book about this subject called Beyond the Border. She said there were thousands of Mexicans such as Joanna's grandfather who came from Mexico to work on the Santa Fe Railroad in the early part of the 20th Century.
Mendoza, assistant professor of history whose old grandparents started a new life in Oakland, said Topeka was an especially popular place for Mexican immigrants to settle.
"The Santa Fe Railroad provided
The Mexican Revolution, which was occurring at this time (1910-1920), caused political unrest and wide-spread poverty throughout Mexico.
affordable housing and many Mexican immigrants lived right next to the tracks in Oakland," Mendoza said. "The housing was run down and the first immigrants had to work to improve their houses, but it was still better than living in a boxcar like many of the first immigrants were forced to do."
"This caused Mexicans to migrate to the United States and eventually

Today show to distribute gifts to needy area kids
The Center for Community Outreach will be spreading a little holiday cheer to disadvantaged area children with a little help from a popular weekday morning show.
NBC's *Today* show chose Lawrence as one of five cities to distribute toys the show collected from across the nation. The center will give away the 200 toys at a holiday party from 6 to 8 p.m. Dec. 15 at the Boys and Girls Club of London, 1520 Haskell Ave.
"Lawrence is a college town, and yet we still have a lot of social problems," said E.J. Reedy, co-director at the center. "They've worked with us before, and I think they knew we'd do a good job."
Reedy said the organization was expecting between 300 and 400 children — more than the number of toys donated — to attend the party. The center requests that students and faculty donate additional presents, help wrap gifts and help during the event itself.
"That's the area we need the most help with now," he said.
Reedy said that the center would accept toys for children of any age and that the presents should not cost more than $10-$15.
The center is coordinating the event with the Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Pelathe Community Resource Center, Ballard Community Center and Edgewood Homes.

Third man convicted Texas dragging death
JASPER, Texas — The last of three white men to stand trial for chaining James Byrd Jr. to the back of a pickup truck and dragging him to pieces
was found guilty of murder yesterday but spared the death penalty.
Shawn Allen Berry, who insisted he was just a frightened bystander, was sentenced to life in prison for one of the nation's grisliest racial crimes since the civil rights era. His racist roommates were both sentenced to death.
The all-white jury took 10 hours Wednesday and yesterday to convict him, but only two hours to agree on a sentence. Berry, 24, must serve at least 40 years in prison before he has a chance of parole.
Jurors rejected Berry's pleas that he felt his own life was in danger by his racist companions.
Prosecutors called no witnesses in the punishment phase but introduced evidence regarding Berry's prior convictions for burglary and drunken driving.
For the defense, nine people testified that Berry — who unlike his fellow defendants did not have a history of racist activities — did not meet the death-penalty test of being a future threat to society. Among those witnesses were several of Berry's friends and a psychiatrist who testified against the other two defendants in their trials.
Byrd, a 49-year-old African-American man, was beaten, hooked to Berry's truck with a 24-foot logging chain, and dragged by his ankles over three miles of a country road last year.
Berry's roommates, avowed white supremacists John William King, 25, and Lawrence Russell Brewer, 32, were sentenced to die in separate trials earlier this year.
Apparent homeless men dead in possible turf war
DENVER—The decapitated bodies of two apparently homeless men have been found less than a week after arrests were made in five recent beating deaths of transients.
The bodies were found Wednesday after a homeless person spotted one of the corpses in a weed-covered field behind Union Station, Denver's main railroad station.
The unidentified men were believed to be homeless. Both were decapitated. Mavor Wellington Webb said.
Webb said he thought the killings would stop after several youths were arrested in the beating death of a transient.
He said some investigators thought the killings resulted from a turf war between a group of "mall rats" — homeless young people along the downtown 16th Street Pedestrian Mall — and older transients who had been the targets.
"We were really taken aback when the other two bodies were found," Webb said.
Two men and a 16-yearold boy were charged with first-degree murder last Friday in one of the fatal beating. The defendants are part of the
clique that hangs out around the pedestrian mall.
Five others have been jailed on assault charges for nonfatal beatings.
Calif. Southern Baptists against gay marriages
SACRAMENTO, Calif.—California Southern Baptists have pledged to support an anti-gay marriage initiative on the March 2000 ballot, saying it affirms the sanctity of marriage.
The motion to support Proposition 22, which would prohibit the state from recognizing same-sex marriages, received unanimous support at the California Southern Baptist Convention on Wednesday.
The move comes a day after the Georgia Southern Baptist Convention ousted two churches for allowing homosexuals to be church leaders and for allowing a gay marriage to be performed at one of the churches.
The state organization will send a letter to Davis outlining their disapproval of recent bills passed in California giving special rights to homosexuals, said the Rev. Wiley Drake.
The convention also overwhelmingly voted, without debate, to condemn Gov. Gray Davis for signing recent gay-rights bills.
The new laws ban discrimination based on sexual orientation in public schools, strengthen protection against job discrimination based on sexual orientation and provide health benefits to the same-sex domestic partners of state employees.
KC museum's watercolors may not be by O'Keeffe
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The authenticity of 28 watercolors attributed to Georgia O'Keeffe has been questioned by scholars producing the definitive catalog of her work.
The works — vivid, abstract images of Texas desert — are known as "The Canyon Suite" and hang in the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Mo.
R. Crosby Kemper, the banker who purchased the works for display in his museum, was told about a month ago that they would be omitted from the "catalogue raisonne," art historian' term for definitive catalog, of O'Keeffe's work.
The omission renders the works — which had been purchased for $5.5 million — virtually worthless in the art world.
The catalog is being produced by the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the Georgia O'Keeffe Foundation of Abiquiu, N.M.
Researchers believe that the paper the watercolors are painted on is not authentic and that their style does not conform with the work of O'Keeffe, who died in 1986.

University responds to parents' lawsuit in student's death
Continued from page 1A
The defendants denied the petition's allegation that the medical care and treatment provided to Angela Griffin was negligent and caused her unnecessary and conscious pain, suffering and fear.
In its final paragraph, the response asks that the case be dismissed and the defendants discharged.
The answer was submitted by the defendants' attorney, Janet Simpson from Kansas City, Kan. Simpson could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Because the University is a state institution, the case could have been handled for it by Carla Stovall, Kansas attorney general. But because Simpson was already representing Brown, Hickert and Rock, the attorney general's office decided to use the same lawyer for all defendants listed.
Tiffany Ball, public information officer at the attorney general's office, said the decision to work with private counsel was based on Simpson's experience with medical malpractice.
"We agreed to use her as well," Ball said. "Our staff doesn't have the knowledge or expertise she does."
Yesterday David Amber, vice-chancellor for student affairs and a previous representative for Rock, Hickert and Brown, said he had not seen the answer and did not feel comfortable discussing it.

University requests hike in housing fees
By Clay McCuistion
Kansan staff writer
The Kansas Board of Regents heard gloomy fiscal tidings from its budget director and a request from several Regents schools for hiked student housing rates in a meeting yesterday at the Kaw Valley Technical School in Topeka.
The board heard from Marvin Burris, director of fiscal affairs for the Regents, during the meeting.
"He painted a very dismal budget picture," said Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor and University of Kansas liaison to the Regents.
Budget director Duane Goossen's recommendations to Gov. Bill Graves last week included no increases in funding for Regents schools. Normally, at least a small increase is requested.
Marlin Rein, University director of budget and governmental relations, said budget requests generally were cut to the bone before the governor made his final recommendations to the Legislature in January. Still, a decrease in state revenue this year has made the situation more difficult.
"The governor will go through all those budgets and make whatever decisions he thinks he can make fiscally," Rein said. "This year has been a little bit of an unusual one."
Rein said he was hopeful that Graves would add to Goossen's atypically bare-bones budget request.
The University will appeal Goossen's recommendations today, and the Regents will appeal directly to the Gov. Graves on Monday.
Also yesterday, the board heard an unrelated request from the University and four other Regents schools to increase fees for
student housing. The University is asking for a 4.4 percent increase for the 2000-2001 academic year—$173 extra for each student. The University asked for the largest increase.
in housing payments of any Regents institution.
In material submitted to the Regents, the
Board of Regents
University stated that the proposed increases were driven partially by facility enhancements and inflationary costs.
The board also approved the request for a study that would explore research capabilities at the University, Kansas State University and Wichita State University. The study was inspired by an April 2 statement by Kansas Sen, Pat Roberts made in Topeka.
"Kansas is falling dangerously behind other progressive states in providing an adequate science, math and engineering infrastructure," Roberts said.
The study also will examine the research infrastructure at universities in states such as Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
"This is just an initial step," Burg said. "Pat Roberts is interested in anxious we have an assessment of what our research needs are."
In other academic affairs business, the board accepted reports from the six state schools about the Vision 2020 program. The initiative, adopted in 1995, hopes to help universities face the challenges of higher education in the 21st century.
Vision 2020 studies several areas, including student retention, student satisfaction, placement of undergraduates and graduate and research programs. According to information submitted to the Regents, all six universities are making steady progress toward their goals.

Campus finishing upgrades to avoid Year 2000 glitches
By Nathan Willis
Kansan staff writer
The computers have been upgraded, and the tests have been run.
Now really all that's left for the people who have been preparing the University of Kansas for the Year 2000 computer problem is to sit back and watch the days melt away until Jan.1.
"For all intents and purposes, we're finished," said Beth Warner, Year 2000 coordinator. "We're tying up a few loose ends with the state, and we're still doing some testing on the student administrative system, but we’re pretty much done."
And the results of the work should be a problem-free campus when the clock strikes midnight on Jan. 1, Warner said.
Warner said the upgrades, which were completed last month with an upgrade of the pay roll system, surprisingly were trouble-free.
It has gone amazingly well; she said. In addition, the state computers that the University shares information with should be ready as well, she said. Although the University shares financial aid data with the federal government, most of that correspondence is still done through paper, she said, meaning any problems in federal systems shouldn't affect University systems.
The one wild card is the computer systems within academic departments, said Glen Thurman, an administrative assistant at Academic Computing Services.
"It is pretty much up to the individual departments to upgrade." Thurman said. "Administration has been worked on. But it is kind of a problem on the department side."
Thurman said no centralized system for coordinating upgrade efforts and charting progress among the departments existed. Instead, Academic Computing Services has provided a guide for departments to follow in their upgrades at www.ukans.edu/computing/vzk/what.shtml he said.
Facilities Operations is done with all its upgrades except in one area, said Mike Richardson, director.
"We've checked all the elevators on campus
YEAR 2000 SITUATIONS
The following Web sites provide more insight into the Year 2000 situation at the national, state and University levels:

www.ukans.edu/computing/y2k/
and have been assured by their manufactures that they're OK." Richardson said. "We have lots of old elevators that it doesn't apply io, anyway. The operating system at the power plant has been taken care of, too."
The only things that aren't finished are some of the systems that control air conditioning and heating in campus buildings, he said. Upgrades continue, and any buildings that aren't upgraded by the new year will be switched to manual controls, meaning no building should be left out in the cold, he said.
Still, the University has established contingency plans just in case there are problems. Computer technicians, Facilities Operations crews and extra public safety officers will be on campus the evening of Dec. 31 — just in case.
He also said he had received assurance from the University's electric, gas and water providers that there would be no problems.
The campus Public Safety Office has multiple backup radios in case communications fail, and much of the campus has emergency power from battery backups or generators, said John Mullens, assistant director of public safety who is in charge of creating contingency plans.
"These things could happen tonight," he said.
"We could lose water and gas tonight for whatever reason, and people would work through the situation. But if that happens during Y2K, some people could quite honestly go off the deep end."
Water pumps that normally are used to boost the pressure in tall buildings on campus could be used to suck water out of the city's towers in case of fires, he said.
The biggest problem, he said, might end up being panicky people caused by Year 2000 hysteria, not computers.

Education powwow includes Jayhawk delegates
By Erinn R. Barcomb

Kansas staff writer
A conference on the education of Native Americans has included input from University of Kansas students and faculty, some of whom are involved in the new indigenous nations studies program.
The Kansas Institute on Indian Education began yesterday and continues today at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 MacDonald Drive. The conference has consisted of workshops and a powow last night, which was attended by about 60 people.
The event consisted of singing, dancing and drumming with an announcer's commentary. Some of the dancers were part of the New Dawn Native Dancers, a dancing group aimed at young people.
Michele Bible, a student from Haskell Indian Nations University, was head lady dancer. She said it meant she got to lead the women into the arena around the center drum.
"It's an honor because you get to show everyone how it's done." Bible said.
A. M. HENDRICKS
Jeremy Shield, who helped organize the powwow, said that because many of the dancers were from Haskell, the powwow included geographic diversity. He said that the drums from Oklahoma were "south-style" but that many of the dancers were from the north.
Laurie Ramirez, president of First Nations Student Association, said that KU students and faculty would participate in panels yesterday and today. She said the topics ranged from retaining cultural identity to cross-cultural teaching strategies. Club members also attended the powwow.
The conference was aimed at educators, social workers, school guidance counselors and health care professionals who worked with indigenous people.
"The conference has doubled in size and scope," he said. "We had some registrations come in from Minnesota."
This is the first semester for the program, which director Donald Fixico began working on last January. Although it has only eight students, Fixico is proud of the progress the program has made.
KU students from the indigenous nations studies program spoke yesterday at a workshop entitled, "The Many Stories of Tribalism."
Dave Cade, director at the Pelâth Center of Lawrence, said about 300 attended last year. He said that he was used to seeing people from Kansas and Oklahoma at the conference but that lately the event had been expanding.
"This is kind of a historic semester for us," he said. "From where I'm sitting this year, this didn't even exist."
The department offers an interdisciplinary master's program, which consists of three core courses and 30 hours in other departments, including a thesis or other substitute.

Donald Fixico
Director of the KU indigenous studies program
Flixico said that despite a small staff and budget, the program was advertising itself through a Web site, word of mouth and advertisements in journals. He said he had received about 60 calls concerning the program.
He also said that the program was different from most others in the country, which focused on the study of Native Americans. The title of the program at the University allowed for the study of indigenous people in other parts of the world. Fixico said.

Watson renovations to furnish teaching center
By Derek Prater
Kansan staff writer
The Watson Library Reference Department will undergo renovations in coming weeks that may make navigating the department trickier but ultimately will benefit both students and staff.
Kathy Graves, coordinator of reference services, said contractors were scheduled to start work Dec. 1 and should be finished by the beginning of next semester.
"We're hoping there won't be too much noise until classes are over," she said. "We thought that by doing it at this time, it would be the least disruptive."
The construction should not interfere with the reference desk, the network terminals or the printed materials, Graves said.
The southeast corner of level three of Watson Library will be the home of the
Clark Instruction Center, named for Marilyn S. Clark, former director of the Watson Reference Department.
The 850-plus square-foot teaching center will include at least 16 dual-user computer workstations, an instructor's console, a ceiling-mounted projector with a wall-mounted screen and a printing station, said Mary Rosenbloom, assistant to the dean of libraries.
Cindy Pierard, instruction coordinator, said a teaching center had been needed for quite some time.
"I'm personally delighted that we have the opportunity to construct this center." she said.
The teaching center will be more conducive to meeting the needs of instructors and students as they conduct research, Plerard said.
In fiscal year 1999, library staff taught 641 instruction sessions for about 7,885 patrons, Rosenbloom said.
Shana Rippe, Fairview senior, said she learned to use the reference department on her own, but that new students
While the center is being built, the open study area on level two will be closed to readers so that the space can be used to store reference office furniture.
Reference staff are now moving out of their offices and being relocated temporarily to various locations throughout the building.
The total cost of the project will be $200,000. The Provost's Instructional Technology Fund, the KU Friends of the Library and the KU Department of Athletics' Jayhawks for KU Libraries Fund provided funds for the project.
Graves said there would be lists at the reference and circulation desks that would help people locate displaced reference staff.
"It'd probably help freshmen get oriented and learn what they need to know," she said.
might benefit from the center.
The center should be in operation by early next semester. Pierard said.

Arguments for stars and bars don't fly
South Carolina economy now will suffer because of flag
It is time to take down the Confederate flag once and for all. The need for it has long since passed and little good is associated with it.After all, the only time
in, the only time most of us Yankees see a Confederate flag is Friday and Saturday nights on Massachusetts Street, when all rednecks named Bubba are apparently required to drive their Chevys and yell obscenities at anyone who didn't eat a mayonnaise sandwich for dinner.
South Carolina is the last state to fly the Confederate flag over its statehouse, though Georgia and Mississippi have the battle flag incorporated into their state flags. Now, South Carolina is feeling the heat of a boycott by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which is set to begin Jan. 1. As a result of the planned boycott, both the state chamber of commerce and South Carolina Baptist Convention have called for the flag's removal, and more than 80 groups have cancelled conferences planned for South Carolina.
Feeling the pinch, the governor of South Carolina, Democrat Jim Hodges, tried to placate the NAACP by promising to work toward making Martin
Luther King's birthday a formal state holiday, something almost every other state has done. In return, the NAACP was asked to call off its boycott.
To review: The NAACP boycotts the state in an effort to rid the statehouse of a flag it thinks is a symbol of oppression. Instead of lowering the flag, the governor offers to try to permanently celebrate a holiday that is long overdue. What a deal.
BRIAN LEE
In South Carolina and elsewhere, the main argument for keeping the Confederate flag is its use as a symbol of
Seth

opinion@kansas.com
the South's heritage and the war they fought to protect it. It's called a symbol of the South's sovereign right to protect its way of life and economic system from Yankee encroachers. That's all fine, except that that system was built on the backs of slaves.
Kyle Ramsey
In addition, in the civil rights era of
the 1950s and 60s, the rebel flag became a symbol of defiance to federal attempts to integrate the South. At least that's what the NAACP says.
They're right. For many people, the Confederate flag is as much a symbol of hate as a
Nazi swastika, yet the Confederate flag shows up all over the place. After World War II, though, Germans had the good sense to get rid of the swastika, and even went as far as to ban it. There are still those in Germany that say that the Nazi symbol in an important part of their heritage — they are called neo-Nazis.
The good news is that the list of organizations and institutions denouncing the flag is growing. In addition to the South Carolina Baptist Convention and the state chamber of commerce, even Ole Miss University has banned waving the stars and bars at home football games.
There still is a long way to go. As more people find disfavor with the Confederate flag, the louder those who support it protest. Any Hank Williams Jr. fan (who will admit it) will tell you
that the rebel flag is displayed loud and proud at every Bocephus concert. Ironically, because of the growing list of organizations denouncing the flag, its defenders are becoming a minority.
As a freshman, my best friend wrote a column on this subject for his school newspaper during his first month at Texas Christian University. It was a bold move, considering most of the great state of Texas vehemently disagreed with his view. In fact, his potluck assigned roommate definitely saw things differently. His truck sported a Confederate flag license plate, had a Confederate flag blanket on his bed, and if you ever heard him talk, you'd guess he ate Klan Flakes for breakfast every morning.
When the column ran, flag supporters didn't write dissenting columns or letters to the editor, they threatened his life. The Fort Worth police never found the guys (there were two) that called him, but they said that kind of thing happened all the time.
This "kind of thing" has to end. Does the South really need a symbol of its heritage so badly that it's worth threatening someone's life? Maybe the South can come up with a new symbol. How about cotton, the banjo or Burt Reynolds?

First lady Clinton must balance duties with political aspirations
Hillary Rodham Clinton, first lady of the United States and would-be New York senator, is playing a risky game with U.S. foreign policy because of her dual roles. She must begin making it clear when she is acting as the first lady and when she is campaigning for Senate. Her current noncommittal approach will create confusion and, potentially, harm.
The essence of this problem is that Clinton cannot wear both hats at once. The reason that there are senators is so that the United States is not run solely by a centralized elite in the Washington executive branch. A senator from New York is supposed to be especially sensitive to the needs of New Yorkers — not a representative
Running for Senate and playing first lady can send mixed messages to the world
of the whole nation.
This must be balanced with the fact that Clinton has created a very strong, political role as first lady. Anyone watching U.S. politics for the last seven years knows she is an integral, powerful part of the Clinton administration.
Thus, Clinton must be careful as to how she presents herself. This became apparent last week when she visited the Middle East. To her credit, she appeared to do a good job of sticking to
her role as a representative of the Clinton administration, yet it was not always apparent whether she was pandering to New York's Jewish vote or acting on behalf of the presidency. It would be a bad situation if she was acting as a potential New York senator while world leaders viewed her as representing her husband. The confusion of roles could send confused political messages, however unintended.
Frik Goodman for the editorial board
We do not mean to say that Clinton should not run for the Senate. We do mean to say that she should be careful as she runs. She has created for herself a visible, powerful role as first lady. She cannot expect the world to put that aside now that she is running for office.
Bomb threats neither funny nor legal
Two bomb threats were reported and investigated last week at the University of Kansas, with neither threat ending in an explosion, thankfully. Of course, most bomb threats turn out to be hoaxes, which — considering the consequences for such a hoax — is somewhat surprising.
A fake bomb threat is a criminal threat and a felony offense. As with any felony, it is serious and could result in jail time. What on the surface appears to be a prank or a procrastination tool for putting off a test could end with someone having a felony record. That is certainly far worse than any consequence that taking a test could bring about.
Furthermore, the act of calling in a fake bomb threat breaks University of Kansas code. The University's Student
Those who call in false bomb threats risk felony record and endanger students and faculty
Rights and Responsibilities state that students cannot commit offenses against the orderly process of the University. This would include a student who "intentionally causes or attempts to cause a disruption or obstruction of teaching ... administration ... or other University activities." This rule would include a student knowingly furnishing false or misleading information to the University.
Obviously a fake bomb threat would break University code, and a fake bomb threat would be a serious threat to an
academic career. The provost could decide upon further discipline.
Perhaps the most unfortunate consequence that results from a fake bomb threat is the boywho-cried-wolf syndrome. If there ever were a real bomb threat, chances are that many students and faculty would be injured or killed. No one would believe a real bomb threat because there are so many hoaxes.
It's embarrassing and ridiculous that some in the University community must be reminded that a bomb threat is not an acceptable way to get more time to study for a test. Studying is the best answer. With the consequences involved, fake bomb threats are a foolish and dangerous prank with lifelong consequences.
Consumers will make final Microsoft decision
On Nov. 5, U.S. District Judge Thomas Jackson declared Microsoft a monopoly. This was a tremendous victory for the U.S. government, which started the antitrust case in 1997 on the grounds that Microsoft had violated the 1994 consent decree by forcing computer manufacturers to include its Web browser Internet Explorer.
Emily Haverkamp for the editorial board
Jackson's decision was based on the fact that Microsoft controls the operating system market in the United States. Judge Jackson said this monopoly power was a threat to consumers and competitors.
Jackson said Microsoft threatened consumers because the company could set its prices, disregarding competition. Other operating systems account for a very small share of the market, and this leaves
PUNAMURAN

Furtado

Microsoft in a strong position to raise its prices. This is extremely dangerous to everyone, not just to computer users. Users have to pay higher prices to use Windows' newer versions. Nonusers need to note that all companies use computers, and they simply pass their operating costs to consumers. If they spend more on computer programs, we will certainly pay higher prices for their products.
Second, the judge said Microsoft is a threat to competitors because Microsoft forces computer manufacturers that use Windows to use Internet Explorer and other Microsoft applications as well. This leaves other companies defenseless. Netscape, a Web browser that competes with Internet Explorer, saw its market share go from absolute dominance to almost complete insignificance since Microsoft's release of Internet Explorer four years ago.
Even with the challenges imposed by the giant of computer software, some other companies are trying to make their way to the top of the industry. Sun Microsystems is launching StarOffice, a program that is similar to Microsoft's Office. The big difference: it's free.
Computer manufacturers also are reacting, Compaq, Dell and several other large corporations have started selling machines outfitted with Linux, another operating system.
Microsoft now seems to be as vulnerable as any company in America, judge or no judge.
Bill Gates certainly faces a difficult period as the leader of Microsoft. Nobody knows what will happen to his company in the near future. Gates could have his公司 divided, a process that has happened to other corporate giants such as AT&T. Another possibility is paying several million dollars in damages and having the actions of his company restricted. Gates obviously doesn't want either of these options. That's why he's investing millions of dollars lobbying Congress and hiring top lawyers.
The government is probably doing its job. It needs to protect the U.S. population and its rights. However, I suspect that several other companies use the same practices as Microsoft. If the Justice Department starts playing devil's advocate, it will probable will investigate most Fortune 500 companies. By definition, all companies want to dominate their respective markets. Therefore, all companies dream about becoming monopolies. Every CEO in this country wants to become the richest person alive. The problem here is that the only ones who worked hard enough to get into this position are Microsoft and Gates. This seems to bother those who didn't get there.
Consumers are smart enough to decide whether they want to support Microsoft. If they do not, they have several ways to demonstrate their dissatisfaction. I think that all these questions do not need to be resolved by a judge. It is imperative that we hear the voice of the citizens. Consumers need to judge Microsoft. Perhaps Adam Smith said it best in his classic *Wealth of Nations*, "Every individual in pursuing his or her own good is led, as if by an invisible hand, to achieve the best good for all. Therefore any interference with free competition by government is almost certain to be injurious."

Thanks for defense of cleanliness
My thanks to the Kansan editorial board. My thanks for demonstrating that you understand the other side of the issue concerning weekend litter in the residence halls, and most especially for giving voice to it.
I no longer work for Student Housing, but I did for 25 years, so I had a large measure of experience dealing with cleaning up after others. My first thought when I read the article last week was, "The real issue is that 99 percent of the
I thought of writing a letter then, but now I'm glad I didn't. The custodial staff works very hard to provide a clean, orderly environment to relieve students of some areas of routine burden so that they can focus on the education they are here to get. It often seems that no one, most frustratingly the very students being helped, understands the magnitude and difficulty of that task. Your editorial demonstrates that some do notice, do understand, and do care. By

Caravan to lend hand to Central America
By Irina Rodriguez Special to the Kansan
A humanitarian aid caravan headed to Central America will stop at the University of Kansas this Sunday.
The Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization/Pastors for Peace launched the caravan Nov. 11 to deliver aid to the indigenous, African-descendant and rural communities in Honduras and Nicaragua that suffered the strongest devastation during Hurricane Mitch in 1988.
Since the hurricane, governments in Central America have received more than $600 billion in aid, according to the United Nations Geneva Contributions Report. However, Pastors for Peace said in a press release last month that these funds were not channeled to the hardest-hit communities.
The caravan participants will hold a press conference after a rice-and-
beans dinner at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Glass Onion, 624 W. 12th St. The event is free, but donations are welcome.
Caravan participants will speak about the devastation in Central America and post-Hurricane Mitch constitutional reforms threatening the existence of indigenous, Afro-Honduran, Afro-Nicaraguan and peasant communities. They also will talk about the negative effects of U.S. foreign policy in Central America.
Pakal B'amal, Guatemala graduate student, said it was important to inform the University and Lawrence communities about the situations in Central America.
"A lot of times appropriate information from Latin America doesn't arrive here." B'amal said.
The Rev. Thad Holcombe of Ecumenical Christian Ministries agreed.
"The people are suffering, and the
help doesn't get to them." Holcombe said. "We're in the position to help, and it's important to use this opportunity."
The ECM, KU Latin American Solidarity and the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice will sponsor the event.
The caravan is one of five from different cities across the United States and Canada. The caravans will visit educational institutions and have press conferences in 50 cities in the two countries. At the end of this month, all five will meet in San Antonio, Texas, where they will depart for Central America as one caravan on Nov. 25.
On their trips, the caravans collect food, medical supplies, agricultural tools and construction materials to deliver to the under served Honduran and Nicaraguan communities.
The organization was founded in 1967 by church leaders and activists to advance the struggles for justice and self-determination of oppressed, poor and disenfranchised people. Its projects have included helping create the National Black United Fund, which helps ensure economic empowerment for African Americans; creating task forces, which improve Native-American and Hispanic-American communities; and helping found the National Anti-Klan Network, now known as the Center for Democratic Renewal, which investigates hate crimes.
The group advocates health benefits for gays and lesbians of color and the freeing of political prisoners, and it protests police brutality. It also advocates alternative foreign policy based on justice and mutual respect, according to the organization's Web site.

Caravan to lend hand to Central America
By Irina Rodriguez
Special to the Kansar
A humanitarian aid caravan headed to Central America will stop at the University of Kansas this Sunday.
The Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization/Pastors for Peace launched the caravan Nov. 11 to deliver aid to the indigenous, African-descendant and rural communities in Honduras and Nicaragua that suffered the strongest devastation during Hurricane Mitch in 1998.
Since the hurricane, governments in Central America have received more than $600 billion in aid, according to the United Nations Geneva Contributions Report. However, Pastors for Peace said in a press release last month that these funds were not channeled to the hardest-hit communities.
The caravan participants will hold a press conference after a rice-and-
beans dinner at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Glass Onion, 624 W. 12th St. The event is free, but donations are welcome.
Caravan participants will speak about the devastation in Central America and post-Hurricane Mitch constitutional reforms threatening the existence of indigenous, Afro-Honduran, Afro-Nicaraguan and peasant communities. They also will talk about the negative effects of U.S. foreign policy in Central America.
Pakal B'amal, Guatemala graduate student, said it was important to inform the University and Lawrence communities about the situations in Central America.
"A lot of times appropriate information from Latin America doesn't arrive here." B'amal said.
The Rev. Thad Holcombe of Ecumenical Christian Ministries agreed
"The people are suffering, and the
help doesn't get to them," Holcombe said. "We're in the position to help, and it's important to use this opportunity."
The ECM, KU Latin American Solidarity and the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice will sponsor the event.
The caravan is one of five from different cities across the United States and Canada. The caravans will visit educational institutions and have press conferences in 50 cities in the two countries. At the end of this month, all five will meet in San Antonio, Texas, where they will depart for Central America as one caravan on Nov. 25.
On their trips, the caravans collect food, medical supplies, agricultural tools and construction materials to deliver to the under served Honduran and Nicaraguan communities.
The organization was founded in 1967 by church leaders and activists to advance the struggles for justice and self-determination of oppressed, poor and disenfranchised people. Its projects have included helping create the National Black United Fund, which helps ensure economic empowerment for African Americans; creating task forces, which improve Native-American and Hispanic-American communities; and helping found the National Anti-Klan Network, now known as the Center for Democratic Renewal, which investigates hate crimes.
The group advocates health benefits for gays and lesbians of color and the freeing of political prisoners, and it protests police brutality. It also advocates alternative foreign policy based on justice and mutual respect, according to the organization's Web site.

Binding generations together through culture, community

settle in Oakland," Valerie Mendoza said
The first immigrants to the United States didn't even know Kansas existed much less Oakland until the railroad began moving them in at the turn of the century.
"The first substantial flow of immigrants came over to Topeka between 1907 and 1912," Mendoza said. "Since then, the Hispanic presence has continued to grow and even offers opportunities for the new wave of immigrants that are coming over even today."
She said the Mexicans provided the railroad with unskilled labor at a low wage, and that was what the railroad was looking for.
The Oakland community started out
The Oakland community started out small and grew to what everyone sees
today through a network that was formed among the immigrants to help one another surive and in the end succeeds said.
vive and in the end succeed, she said.
From their families' origins in Mexico to their grandparents' journeys to the United States and eventually Topeka's Oakland community, to their parents'
struggles against dis crimina- tion, the grandchild- child who attend the University of Kansas say theirs is a
story that never should be forgotten.
J. R. Mendoza, Topeka junior, said that his grandfather, John Mendoza Sr., came from Mexico in the early 1920s.
His grandfather died more than 30 years ago so his father has told him about his grandfather's life.
His father, John Mendoza Jr., recalled growing up in a small house next to the tracks in Oakland.
"My father's family didn't have much money while he was growing up," John Mendoza Jr. said. "There were eight children in the family to take care of, and it was a very difficult time for them."
J. R.'s father told him the Mexican community in Oakland played a major role in the survival of many Mexican immigrants, and Mendoza's family was no exception.
"Oakland was a close-knit community where everyone tried to help everyone else," J.R. Mendoza said. "My grandmother helped out by baking tortillas, doing other people's laundry and even picking vegetables in the fields."
To this day J.R.'s family is still active in the Oakland community,
J. R., who also is a Hispanic American Leadership Organization senator, said that he thought it was important never to forget how much his family had endured to give him the opportunities he had today.
"I appreciate all the things my parents and grandparents have been through over the years," J.R. Mendoza said. "I know they are extremely proud of all that we have accomplished, and the progress we have made going to college and even graduating from the University of Kansas."
A bridge between languages
Some things from Oakland already have faded throughout the years.
J. R. Mendoza said he regretted not learning how to speak Spanish, the one thing that was not passed down from his father's generation.
"Spanish was never really taught to me or my three sisters," J.R. Mendoza said. "Most people think because I'm Mexican I know how to speak Spanish, but that couldn't be farther from the truth."
Joanna Martinez said that she also regretted never learning how to speak Spanish.
Her father said growing up
with Spanish was important to him because he served as mediator between his father and the people who did not speak Spanish. You had to know both Spanish and English if you wanted to get anything accomplished in Toopeka.
"Once my children were born, learning Spanish was not as critical as when I was young," Joe Martinez said. "When my children were growing up, we spoke English at home and that's what they learned."
Spanish is still an important part of Oakland, where a lot of people speak it as their primary language, and an influx of
new Mexican immigrants during the past 10 years has helped to keep Spanish alive.
J. R. Mendoza also wished he knew more about his grandfather's past.
"There are so many questions I would like to ask him if I were given the opportunity." J.R. Mendoza said.
"I still have family members back in Mexico that I will probably never know because they did not choose to go.
A step toward Americanization.
For all of the good things Oakland provided for Mexican immigrants, Topeka still had its share of drawbacks.

saw because they did not choose to come over with him."
because they have married into the community though the years.
"I can remember even up to the early '60s not being allowed to eat in restaurants or even swim in the public pools," Joe Martinez said. "It was important for Mexicans to stick together, and the Oakland community provided that support system."
Joanna Martinez said that, for both her grandfather and father, Oakland played an important role in the Mexican community's survival.
"When the first immigrants from Mexico came to Oakland, it was actually dominated by Russian and German immigrants who came to work on the railroad before them," Joe Martinez said. "Over the years the Mexican presence increased, and Oakland community has become what we all see today."
"I appreciate all the things my parents and grandparents have been through over the years.I know they are extremely proud of all that we have accomplished, and the progress we have made going to college and even graduating from the University of Kansas."
A step toward Americanization
Joanna Martínez remembers her father talking about discrimination. Moviesi
Just like J.R. and Valerie Mendoza's grandfather, Joanna Martinez's grandfather came from Mexico during the Mexican Revolution, leaving loved one's behind and only returning to Mexico once before he died.
Joe Martinez said it was not only the railroad that played an important role in the time of Mexican inmi
important role the lives of Mexican immigrants, but also the Roman Catholic church.
"The Church provided a place for immigrants to find support and people that understood their needs." Joe Martinez said.

Topeka junior
In 1998, the University listed 594 students who were of Hispanic decent, a rise of 382 or 64.3 percent since 1984. Of the
For the second and third generations of Oakland, the nearby University of Kansas provided the next step in their families' Americanization.
594 students, 147 were graduate student. Valerie and J.R. Mendosa's father was one of a few out of the Oakland who got a chance to go to college.
"He actually got a partial scholarship to attend Washburn University, where he earned a degree in physics and landed a job with NASA out of college," Valerie Mendoza said. "He eventually went back to school at Kansas State University, where he earned his masters degree in urban planning."
Unlike John Mendoza Jr., Joe Martinez said that his father never understood his desire to go to college when he was young.
"I told my father I wanted to go to college, and he asked me why," Joe Martinez said. "He thought my job at Santa Fe was good enough, and I don't think he ever understood why I wanted to do anything else but work for Santa Fe."
Joe Martinez said the idea of higher education was something that was handed down from generation to generation
and with
most of the first generation of Mexicans not even having a high school education, a college education was not seen as important.
Joe Martinez finally did go to college, and that's where he found his calling as a court reporter, a job he has done for the last 25 years.
Joe Martinez said when he and his wife, Gina, were raising their four children, it always was understood that they all would have the opportunity to go to college, and each of them have. Three of the four have attended the University, and the fourth now attends Emporia State University.
"We wanted them all to go to college, but especially the girls," Joe Martinez said. "It's a lot easier for a man to find a blue-collar job then it is for a woman."
He said that he did not want the women to become dependent on their husbands and not have anything to fall back on if their marriages did not work out.
Valerie Mendoza said the research she had done on Mexican migration throughout the years indicated that a vast majority of next generation Mexicans would earn a college degree.
"People know a lot more about how the college system works and know a college education is not out of their reach," she said.
"The Hispanic community will continue strive in Oakland because of the presence of the Church, and the first immigrants who still live there today." Valerie Mendoza said.
Oakland's strong sense of history will guide future generations in learning their family roots.

11 students killed and 28 injured when log pile for bonfire collapses
The Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A towering, 40-foot pyramid of logs erected for Texas A&M's traditional football bonfire trembled and then came roaring down early yesterday, crushing at least 11 students to death and injuring 28 others.
Workers hoped to get to the bodies of the two
Two people who had been seen trapped in the rubble in the afternoon were confirmed dead during the night. At least four of the injured were in critical condition.
A wave of grief settled over the campus of 43,000, about 90 miles northwest of
ATM
houston. Thousands turned out for a memorial service last night, including former President George Bush, whose presidential library is at Texas A&M.
"For the Texas Aggie family and the world, this has been a day of unspeakable grief and sorrow," A&M president Ray Bowen said.
Rescuers earlier in the day used sensitive sound-detection equipment to listen for moaning or tapping from the enormous pile of collapsed logs and heard scratching noises that led them to believe there were victims trapped.
Top levels of the structure, which is tiered like
a wedding cake, fell off to one side. Workers removing the base level yesterday afternoon were certain there were no bodies in that section. Humphreys said.
Later, school officials said they had accounted for everyone involved in building the bonfire structure.
But the painstaking work was expected to continue into the night as rescuers tried to reach the two people seen in the debris.
Shocked students gathered at the scene, holding hands and praying while the rescue went on. Workers tapped on logs and ordered spectators to be still so they could hear if anyone was still alive.
Texas A&M sophomore Diana Estrada said she was about 200 yards away from the stack when it fell.
"It just toppled over, and the wires snapped and the lights started sparking and going on and off," she said. "We ran over there as fast as we could, and we could see legs sticking out and hear people screaming."
Officials had no explanation for the collapse and said engineers would examine the site.
Sixty to 70 students were on top of the logs trying to build the stack when it suddenly gave way, university officials said.
"I was dazed. I was kind of thrown against the wall," said sophomore Caleb Hill. "For a while, I could see a few people trying to jump off the stack, get out on top of it, out from underneath it."

build the bonfire, had left for a few minutes and returned moments after the collapse.
Faculty adviser Rusty Thompson said students told him there was no hint of a problem until there was noise and chaos.
The bonfire, meant to get students fired up for the football game against archrival Texas, is a beloved tradition at Texas A&M. Since the tradition began in 1909, when the school was still an all-male military academy, the bonfire has been canceled only one other time: in 1963, after President Kennedy's assassination.
This year's bonfire was to have been lit on Thanks giving, the night before the big game.
Bowen, the university president, said that this year's bonfire would be canceled and that he was not sure if it would be permanently abolished.
Although the project is run by students, engineers and non-student adults are always at the site, Thompson said. The students cut the logs to lengths of about 10 feet and build the pile during several weeks. Cranes and tractors lift the logs, which are then tied together with bailing wire.
The structure, which this year would have included about 7,000 logs and reached 55 feet, is designed to twist inward and collapse on itself as it burns.
The stack also collapsed in 1984, but no one was injured. A second was built and ignited that year.
Desegregation case dismissed in KC after 22 years, $2 billion
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A federal judge dismissed Kansas City's longrunning school desegregation case Wednesday, saying the district is making substantial progress toward providing equal education for African Americans.
The ruling ends a 22-year-long legal battle that has cost the state more than $2 billion, one of the costiest desegregation cases ever.
Although the decision by U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple freed the district from federal oversight, he upheld a state move to strip it of accreditation.
The district remains overwhelmingly made up of minority students. Whipple said the district had met its goal of achieving as much racial balance as possible given the number of African-Americans students in the city. He also said the district had improved accounting procedures and developed a quality instructional plan.
The lawsuit, filed in 1977, led to state-funded desegregation programs aimed at attracting white children from surrounding suburbs.
The programs included, among other projects, development of magnet schools focusing on specialized themes such as environmental science or a foreign language. Some argued that too much money was
spent on perks such as overseas travel for students.
The superintendent of the district, Benjamin Dumps, called dismissal of the case a historic day that presented the district with tremendous opportunity and great responsibility.
Arthur Benson II, attorney for the plaintiff schoolchildren, said he did not know whether they would appeal the ruling.
The judge refused to overturn an October decision by the state Board of Education that would strip the district of accreditation beginning in May. The board found that the district failed to meet 11 performance standards used by the state to measure student achievement.
District officials have argued loss of accreditation would hasten the flight of students to charter schools and would make it impossible to comply with desegregation orders.
Whippe said the district's argument was an example of how it had used the court to protect itself from accountability for the continued low performance of its students.
School Board president John Rios said the district's next step was to meet with Demps and outline ways to gain accreditation. If the district loses its accreditation in May, it would have two years to improve performance or face the possibility of a state takeover.

That said, the Counting Crow's' new disc,

This Desert Life, is not the Second Coming of innovative music. This disk is not "ear candy." It is neither filled with "infectious" drum lines, "droning" bass lines or "soothing" melodies, nor can

it be described by any other music critic buzz words.
But I like it anyway.
The Counting Crows' latest release is full of their trademark easy-going mellow-rock styles. The music is a refreshing change from the rap-metal and other metal-type stuff that saturates the radio.
The first single, and the first song on the album "hanginaround" is a bubbly, drunken party romp, and it is destined for heavy rotation on VH1. On the slow ballad "Amy Hit The Atmosphere," the Crows capitalize on what they do best, harmonize and groove.
The Counting Crows have not missed out on the scathing lyric trend. On "St. Robinson in his Cadillac Dream," a languid song with a well placed banjo line, lead vocalist Adam Duritz sings "I may not go to heaven/ I hope you go to hell."
The best song on this album is "Colorblind," a slow, aching ballad so sad it had me reaching for tissues. After listening to the emotion in the vocals and the music, you want to run to someone for a hug.
The only blemish on this album is "Mrs. Potter's Lullaby," a hippie-rock, bluegrass-tinged song that is reminiscent of Widespread Panic or the Samples. However, this song drags on, and it would have been enough at four minutes instead of eight. The Crows make up for it by including a hidden track.
Adam Duritz's lyrics aren't particularly profound and his vocals are not extraordinary. The guitar work is not virtuoso. This album is not the most innovative or original music to be released this year. But it is a good, solid rock record and a mellow, easy listen.
Headless horror
Sleepy Hollow fails to forge a head
By Brendan Walsh
Kansan Movie Critic
An uneven film, Sleepy Hollow is typical of director Tim Burton's love of the cartoonish and macabre. Those looking to be scared, grossed out and generally horrified will see what they're looking for, and fans of Burton's cinematic techniques and period sets will not be disappointed. However, the film is far from perfect.
Johnny Depp plays Ichabod Crane, a police detective inhabiting a dark, gothic New York City on the eve of the 19th century. He's disgusted by what he sees as his peers' superstition and medieval behaviors and instead espouses the virtues of science and reason. The powers that be give Crane a chance to prove the usefulness of his scientific training when they send him to the upstate town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a rash of murders.

Running Time: 1 hour,50 minutes
The small, quiet village of Sleepy Hollow is certainly not as dark and foreboding as grim New York City, but its inhabitants are just as backwards. They explain to the detective that they believe the murders, all beheadings, are the work of the ghost of a mercenary soldier who fought for the colonists in the Revolutionary War. The British beheaded this man, and 20 years later he apparently is still pretty unhappy about it. Crane, being the
DONNA DUCKMAN
man of science that he is, insists that there must be a mortal behind these brutal killings, and he vows to bring the person responsible to justice.
Depp's character is not the confident, sly, intelligent investigator of, say, *NYPD Blue*, but is instead a rather foolish dolt who scares easily and acts cowardly. Typical of a Burton film, what could have been a straight-forward, intense and interesting character is instead transformed in a cartoonish caricature who wouldn't be out of place in a comic book. The comic relief that Crane forces on the audience is usually unwelcome and often distracting.
What makes the idiocy of Crane worse is that he's paired with the subtle and mysterious Katrina Van Tassel (Christina Ricci), the daughter of the town's most prominent citizen. The character of Katrina is interesting, though undeveloped,

Above: Katrina (Christina Ricci) is looking to spice up Sleepy Hallow with romance.
which results in her romance with Crane seeming forced and unlikely. If only Burton could put the comic books down and enliven the movie's flat script.
These criticisms notwithstanding, there are great aspects of the film. Typical of Burton films, the settings, both in New York, Sleepy Hollow and the woods that surround the small town, are marvelously done. Burton can change the lighting, add a bit of fog rolling through the town or a put few extra leaves on the trees
and completely change the atmosphere that surrounds the locale. It's an effective technique, heightening suspense and providing an intriguing backdrop to the action.
Ricci is compelling and likable, and Christopher Walken is appropriately threatening as the headless horseman. Depp is not particularly remarkable — both his comic timing and displays of fear could be improved — but the problem may lie more with the character than the actor. Still an enjoyable film, a visit to Sleepy Hollow is worth the time.
World is Not Enough to save Bond bomb

by Stephanie Sapienza Kansan movie critic
Ian Fleming, author of the books on which the James Bond's films are based, says, "Give Bond the right clothes, the right background, the right girl and set the story in the most glamorous and beautiful of places, describing everything in minute detail while moving the plot along so fast that nobody notices the idiosyncrasies in it." The World is Not Enough, the latest addition to the 007 legacy, is chock full of these idiosyncrasies, and it doesn't really matter how fast the plot moves — it would take an idiot not to notice them.
The World is Not Enough stars Pierce Brosnan as 007, Sophie Marceau as Electra King the daughter of an oil tycoon, Robert Carlyle as apocalyptic super-villain Renard, and Denise Richards as stacked 23-year-old nuclear physicist Christmas Jones. No Bond film I've seen to

date manages to slip in any new or interesting ideas and characters. It's not really necessary to rehash the plot — if you've watched any other Bond film, you can piece it together on your own. Basically, Renard is stealing a nuclear bomb to blow up Electra's oil line, and Jones is there to help Bond fix it.
I find it impossible to sit through 2 hours of mind-numbing masculine bravado and ridiculously over-the-top action sequences. As my 16-year-old sister so pleasantly spotted "This movie."
reeks of guvness."
Many guys probably will enjoy The World is Not Enough because being Bond is a dream for some. The action sequences, although completely outrageous, are easier to handle if you accept the Bond character as a well-dressed British superhero. Trying to classify him as an actual human does no justice to reality.
One of the most insulting things about the film is its characterization of women. Bond's doctor — whom he sleeps with to get cleared medically — looks to be about 25, and Richard's character, a physicist, can't be more than 23. Most intelligent people know that to get a Ph.D. takes years of schooling.
If you can accept The World is Not Enough as pure fantasy, then indulge. But those who desire a little more realism in action movies, or those who prefer to avoid lines like, "See, Christmas does come more than once a year," should stay at home.

Kansas women to open season against Houston
By Melinda Weaver
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The Kansas women's basketball team will start its quest for the NCAA tournament when it opens its regular season at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Houston.
Both teams are coming off exhibition victories Tuesday as No. 19 Kansas defeated Latvia-Club Riga 87-51 and Houston defeated the Houston Flight 78-72.
Kansas put together two exhibition wins against Club Riga and Club Gija-Marijampole 80-67 on Nov. 9, but the team did not perform as well as it had expected.
Junior forward Brooke Reves said the team had a chance to improve its offensive and defensive performances to prepare them for the regular season.
"It gave us the opportunity to play against foreign teams and see how different the game style is." Reves said. "Foreign teams play really aggressively, and it really brought out our aggression. We need to keep that aggression as we go into Houston."
"They're very athletic, probably more so than we are," Washington said. "They have great quickness, and they know how to hustle."
Though Kansas leads the all-time series against Houston 3-0, the Jayhawks have not played in Houston since 1965. Coach Marian Washington said she expected a tough game.
To combat Houston's athleticism, Washington said the team had been working to strengthen its defense. Against Club Gija, the Jayhawks looked sluggish on defense and had to foul when they were beaten in the post. Club Gija center Zane Rosite scored 24 points, and Club Gija scored 27 points from the free-throw line.
Washington said the Jayhawks still needed to improve, but she thought they would keep getting better throughout the season.
Kansas improved significantly against Club Riga the following Tuesday, keeping the team off the free-throw line until late in the second quarter and holding its top scorer to 11 points.
"We have to play very strong defense," Washington said. "Houston likes to drive and go to the offensive boards. We have to box well and can't get caught reaching. We have to handle their press and make sure we don't give them extra opportunities by turning the ball over. They are a good ball club, but if we execute well and play strong defense, we will be fine."
Kansas will have its first opportunity to showcase its new triple-post offense against a collegiate team. Kansas has scored 80 and 87 points, respectively, in its exhibition games using its new offense, an almost 20-point increase from last season's 63-point average.
"The offense works well with this team," Reves said. "I love it. It allows us to be versatile and be strong with the ball."
Washington said that the offense

Improved Kansas hopes to end football season on high note

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas and Iowa State did this last year. It's the last game of the season, both teams have losing records and are coming off losses the previous week.
There are three differences: One, the game is at Kansas this year. Two, both teams are vastly improved.
"We've become a much better football
team than a year ago," coach Terry Allen said.
But the biggest difference for Kansas is it's Senior Day — which might be the motivation for this game.
"There's probably more emphasis on this game, it being the last game," said fullback Tyrus Fontenot. "And it might be kind of hard for the whole team to get geared up, but for the seniors, I don't think it'll be a problem."
The Jayhawks, 4-7 overall, 2-5 in the Big 12
Conference, are a different team than they were when they played Iowa State, 4-6 overall, 1-6 in the Big 12, a year ago. Last year, the Jayhawks couldn't stop an old lady from crossing the street. They've improved their rushing defense to 69th in the NCAA, more than 30 teams better than last year.
And they'll need to be improved because Iowa State prefers to run the ball with one of the best running backs in the Big 12, Darren Davis.

Jayhawks want to avoid upset bug

Thus far in college basketball, upset has been the buzz word. Bearing this in mind, the Kansas men's basketball team will try to avoid the buzz saw when it opens the regular season at 7:05 tonight against Fairfield.

Despite Iowa's win against No. 1 Connecticut last week and Notre Dame's one-point thriller at No. 6 Ohio State Tuesday night, the Jayhawks remain poised and prepared to open the season despite the fact that neither preseason game offered much of a test.
"I do know a couple years ago, when Coach (Dean Smith) was going for his record, they made about a hundred
"I think we have a little extra apprehension because what we're trying to do is not going to be so pretty and it's not polished yet, by any means," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "I think our kids are anxious and ready to play. You do learn something every time you play against somebody else."
What Williams knows of Fairfield is limited.

start eating somewhere else or take the time and energy actually to park my vehicle and walk in.
I usually don't get there until after the indoor portion closes, anyway. And because doctors have proven medically that I am addicted to Frito burritos, I decided to just endure the pot-luck, drive-thru dining.
Once, I decided to save time by skipping the muffled speaker and driving straight to the window. "$4.37," the guy said. I handed him a $5 bill and within 30 seconds he handed me a bag. True story. It wasn't what I wanted, but what did I have to lose?
Dion, I realize that because of the criminal damage, open container and three assault charges, you are forbidden to make any contact with our favorite fast-food joint. But just in case you ever do get your privileges back, here's what we need to do.
In case you somehow missed the news, Dion demonstrated early Wednesday morning at the 23rd Street Taco Bell that exiting a vehicle and trying to crawl through the 1-by-4 foot drive-thru window wasn't the answer to not getting a chalupa that you ordered. However, I had thought about doing the same thing. I'd also considered driving close to the window that my rearview mirror scraped the bricks, reaching in and grabbing the cashier by his colorful polo shirt, pulling him toward me and repeatedly slamming the mini double-doors on his head.
Fortunately, Professor Rayford taught us this week that assault is bad.
I'll drive us in my truck because it's as tall as their window. We'll pull up to the drive-thru menu board, order a Frito burrito for me and a chalupa for you. Then we'll ignore their pleas for us to buy a talking, stuffed Chihuahua and pull up to the window. After they hand us a meximelt and a nachos bell grande, I'll crawl through the window (I'm 5-foot-7, 155 pounds). I'm thinking that would be best since you're 6-foot-3, 260 pounds and apparently have already researched the logistics.
Even if I do manage to get stuck, you could give me a little shove from behind. Then, while the workers are hiding in the office calling the police, I'll make our order correctly. You swing the truck around front, I'll leave $10 and we'll be gone before the cops show up.
There's only one problem that could arise. The three female workers — like the three you scared — might just kick the crap out of me.
I'm getting a bad image of them stuffing me back through the window and you driving away with the top half of mv body.
Either way, by using my plan you won't have to drop the chalupa or get crow-barred out of the window of an eating establishment.
Just something to think about in our never-ending quest for the food we actually ordered.

Taurus: Today is a 6.
A passionate, outspoken mood is in effect. You may decide to keep a low profile. Don't battle about trivial points. Let the people who care about it do that while you do something more interesting
Gemini; Today is a 7.

Cancer: Today is an 8.
You should be doing pretty well. A strong authority figure is watching to find out whether you should have more responsibility. You might get more money, too, if you've done what's required. It's a good day to ask for a raise or to sell something that's valuable.
Leo: Today is a 7.
You've struggled for the past few weeks, but that's just about resolved. Contact an attractive person and set up a date soon. Celebrate having made it through a difficult phase — together.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Watch for a breakdown at home. You can get whatever you need to replace whatever's worn out, but it may take some thought. You'll save a lot if you do some of the work yourself. Study may be required for that.
The person most likely to assist you with a financial matter is your partner or your mate. Don't be embarrassed even if you've gone round and round about money in the past. You can devise a plan that will work if you put your heads together.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.

People feel strongly about everything, on both sides of the issues. You want everybody to stick to the facts, but that's a challenge. You'll be kept hopping, figuring out which facts are true and which are fiction. Good luck!

AMES, Iowa — The No. 6 team in women's basketball will open its season in a high school gym, and coach Bill Fennelly is not pleased.
Iowa State to start season at high school
With its highest ranking ever, Fennelly's Iowa State team opens the season tonight at Creighton. Well, not actually at Creighton. The two teams will play at Omaha, Neb., Marian High School, in a gym that seats 1,200.

"When the game was scheduled, they might have known about the problem, but they did not tell me," Fennelly said.

Fennelly said the first time he heard anything about the game being played in a high school gym was in July, when a Creighton assistant told him there was a possibility it might happen.
He said he did not know for sure until he saw Creighton's schedule.

Cyclones receiver quits with one game left
AMES, Iowa — Wide receiver Kenyatta Burris has quit the Iowa State football team with one game left in his college career.
Burris, who transferred to Iowa State from Los Angeles Valley College before last season, had been replaced by Craig Campbell on the two-deep for the Cyclones' finale at Kansas tomorrow.
Burris had caught five passes for 56 yards and returned three kickoffs for 12 yards.
The 5-foot-10, 184-pound player had been promoted to No. 2 on the depth chart after Damien Groce broke his arm at Nebraska in the fifth game.

"He wasn't playing as much, and he wanted that chance," Napoleon Black said. "It wasn't about the number of carries. It was just about the chance to play."
Black started nine games this season, rushing for a team-high 740 yards on 169 carries. He averaged 23 carries for 110 yards in Missouri's first six games but in the last four games had just 32 carries for 83 yards.

with the Cardinals in September 1997.
If the team exercised it and McGwire declined, he would not have had a buyout and would have
been eligible for free agency after next season.
"I've said all along that there are no better fans than Cardinals fans, and that there is no better place to play basketball in St. Louis," McGwire said in a statement. "I've experienced a lifetime of memories during my time as a member of the Cardinals, and I look forward to continuing this fantastic relationship."
Woods doesn't play well in Malaysia tournament
After hitting a record 70 home runs in 1997 and a major league-leading 65 this year, McGwire enters next season with 522 career home runs, 10th on the career list. With 52 next season, he would pass Harmon Killebrew and break into the top five.
"Leave me alone," a frustrated Woods said toward the gallery as he strode away from the ninth green, after firing a 4-under 67 at the World Cup yesterday, leaving the United States team five strokes behind the first-place Japanese.
GOLF
Thousands of spectators followed the U.S. team of Woods and Mark O'Meara, playing in the same group as the Malaysians, around the 6,807-yard, par-71 Mines Resort and Golf Club course.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Tiger Woods was angry, and the Japanese players were delighted.
Woods said later that some of the photographers kept taking pictures at the wrong time but that the crowds were fine.
Woods missed several birdie chances on the front nine, including a three-foot putt that lipped the cup on the eighth hole. On the ninth, he drove his first shot into trees on the right, left his second shot short and then three-putted from 18 feet for a double bogey.

improved in the second exhibition as the team was able to run every offensive set that it tried except one.
"It's one of the most challenging offenses in the game," Washington said. "It requires a lot of patience. We have been getting better, and it will be very effective as the season goes along."
The biggest problem the team faces now is health. Both senior shooting guard Suzi Raymont and senior center Heather Fletcher have had the flu. Junior guard Casey Pruitt is sidelined because of a knee injury, and sophomore center Nikki White is still recovering from a season-ending knee injury last season.
Despite these injuries and illnesses, junior forward Jaclyn Johnson said she expected the team to do well in Houston.
"We just have to play with tenacity," Johnson said. "We have to go out focused and ready to play our game. If we don't let them control the game, we will get the victory."

Jayhawks to vie for a ranking among elite at invitational
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
The Kansas swimming team will place its bid for a national ranking on the line this weekend when it takes on some of the nation's elite at the Northwestern Invitational in Evanston. III.
The Jayhawk men and women will be facing some tough opposition, and they are aware of what they will be up against. Southern Methodist's women are ranked sixth in the nation, and its men's team is 19th. Arizona State's men's and women's teams are ranked No. 14 and No. 21, respectively, and Northwestern's women's team is ranked 10th.
"This will be one of the most premier invitationals in the country," said coach Gary Kempf. "In reality, we're fourth-ranked out of the four teams, but we expect to go in and fight for everything we can."
Kansas' men's and women's teams have received votes for the Top 25 but are not ranked. A strong showing this weekend could change things.
"It's going to be pretty tough this weekend," said freshman Lyndsay DeVaney. "Some of the teams who will be there are ranked, and we're trying to achieve a national ranking right now."
Devaney also said she thought her team would be up to the task.
"I think we can go up against them and beat any of them as long as we work together and not just for ourselves," DeVaney said. "We're all getting better right now, and there's more to come."
For the women's team, Kempf said that DeVaney and fellow freshmen Gwen Haley and Beth Schryer would need to continue to swim well and that a solid performance from senior diving captain Kerri Pribyl would help the team. A majority of the pressure lies on the shoulders of freshmen, though, and they've continued to impress Kempf.
"They've met my expectations very well." Kempf said. "But we recruited them to be impact athletes, and they've done that. The freshmen have done very well. Also, as the season goes on, you'll begin to see more of a balance between the young and the upper-classmen."
Regardless of the results of this weekend's meet, the Jayhawks think that the difficult competition will prepare them for the challenges ahead.
"Having tough competition like this makes you feel better when you stay close or beat them because it helps give you a mental edge on them and for meets in the future." DeVaney said.

Two big tests await the Jayhawks this weekend.
The Kansas volleyball team will meet No. 14 Texas A&M at 7 p.m. tonight in College Station, Texas, then come home and play No. 18 Kansas State Wildcats at 5 p.m. on Sunday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
"It's getting to the point in the season where we have to get some quality wins," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard.
A victory against either Texas A&M or K-State would qualify as a quality win. Both teams have been ranked in the AVCA Top 25 all season, and both teams have scored victories against the Jayhawks this year.
Kansas, 17-10 overall and 8-8 in the Big 12 Conference, dropped a 3-1 decision on Oct. 13 at K-State. Two days later the Jayhawks were swept 3-0 by Texas A&M before Late Night with Rob Williams at Allen Fieldhouse.
"I think we'll be ready to go down to A&M and put up a fight," said Kansas junior outside hitter Nancy Bell. "Last time we played them, we didn't come ready to play at all, so we want to go down there and show them what we can do."
Add the fact that the Jayhawks have never beaten a ranked opponent, and these two matches loom huge.
Texas A&M has won eight of its last nine matches and is 22-5 overall and 13-4 in the Big 12. K-State, in the
meantime, has won three of its last four and is 18-7 and 12-5.
That isn't good news for the Jayhawks, who are in pursuit of their first trip to the NCAA tournament. In all likelihood, Kansas will need three wins in its last four matches to get an at-large bid to the tournament
That would push Kansas' win totals to 20 victories overall and 11 victories in the Big 12.
"If we can somehow get our win total to 20, we'll see how it comes out," Bechard said. "We were hoping at the beginning of the season that we would be in this position."
Tonight's match will be the first time that Kansas has played since a 3-0 loss to them.No.23 Baylor on Nov. 13 in Waco, Texas.

The Kansas baseball team must think lieties are the right way to go.

Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks' pitching staff has added four left-handed pitches this week. Alan Orgain became the newest lefty for the Jayhawks when he sigmed a letter of intent yesterday.
Orgain will join the Jayhawks next year, he has one more season to finish at Seward County Community College in Liberal. As a freshman last year, Orgain was an honorable mention All-Jayhawk Conference selection and led Seward County to a third-place finish in the conference and second-place conference tournament finish. On the mound, he went 8-2 posted a 2.70 ERA and had 45 strikeouts.
He has more work to do before coming to Kansas.
By Chris Whisler
sports@kansan.com
"I'll be a starting pitcher, and I'm hoping to help us win the Region 6 tournament and go on to the Junior College World Series for the first time." Orgain said.
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said Orgain would become a solid addition to the Kansas pitching staff.
"Alan will give us yet another quality left-handed arm for years to come," Randall said. "He has proven himself both in high school and junior college, and he is ready to make the transition to Division I baseball."
Orgain said that he hoped Randall was correct and that he was looking forward to coming to a big school and the Big 12 Conference. He also is looking forward to the academic benefits of the University of Kansas.
"Obviously it's a big school and in the Big 12, and I think it's a program that's up-and-coming." Orgain said. "Also, on the academic side of it, I think it will be a great place for me to get a degree from."
The three lefthies who signed letters of intent earlier this week are Justin Wilchester of Garden City Community College; Matt Tribble, a high school senior from Wheaton, III.; and Tom Gorzelany, a senior at Marist High School in Chicago.

Seniors set to finish season with win
Allen said that stopping Davis, who leads the Big 12 with 131 rushing yards per game, was the key to winning the game. But the Jayhawk offense, the other aspect that has changed the most during the last season, will need to be more

productive than it was last week against Oklahoma State.
While Quarterback Dylen Smith was erratic, completing only 10 of 25 passes, he remains key to the Jawhawk offense, especially because the Cyclones haven't seen Smith plav.
KU
"A year ago, we were struggling with a walk-on quarterback (Jay Alexander) who is no longer in
our program. Now we have a guy who has been through the process." Allen said.
And the other key thing will be the emotion of Senior Day. Eighteen seniors will be playing their last game for the 'Hawks, something that always gets Allen a little emotional.
Seven seniors start for the Jayhawks, three on offense and four on defense. Among them, they have started 145 games for the Jayhawks, but tomorrow will be the last time most of them play football.
"There's some special guys there that have been through a lot," he said.
“It’s kind of bittersweet, but it’ll be nice having some freedom in my off-season,” said wide receiver Michael Chandler. “But I just want to enjoy this last game.”

Postseason up in air for Texas Tech
By Michael Rigg sports @kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Big 12 Conference regular season comes to an end for half of its teams tomorrow — Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri and Texas Tech.
And for four of the teams — Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas and Missouri — Sunday will represent the first day of their respective off seasons.
For Kansas State, tomorrow is a chance for the Wildcats to prove they are worthy of a spot in the Bowl Championship Series.
And for the Red Raiders, who knows? The need one more victory to become bowl eligible. Oklahoma at Texas Tech
While the end of the season typically gives teams to play a long-standing rivalry game, the Sooners and the Red Raiders meet tomorrow in a series that dates back to only 1992.
But the short time span doesn't lessen the bowl implications of this match-up, as Oklahoma already has the necessary six wins. Texas Tech needs to win tomorrow to ensure that it won't be home for the holidays. Still, the Red Raiders lost at home to North Texas earlier in the season and were blown out 58-7 by Texas last week, so bowl representatives probably won't be fighting to get Texas Tech in their bowls. Bowl possibilities aside, Red Raiders coach Spike Dykes is concerned with Oklahoma's dangerous passing attack.
BIG 12 GAMES
- Oklahoma at Texas Tech, 11:30 a.m., Channels 4 and 13
- Iowa State at Kansas, 1 p.m.
- Oklahoma State at Baylor, 1 p.m.
- Missouri at Kansas State, 1:10 p.m.
"Oklahoma presents a lot of problems and does a lot of things well, so we have our work cut out," he said.
Missouri at Kansas State
On paper, this game looks like the ultimate mismatch. Missouri, at 4-6 and having lost of four of its last five games, travels to Manhattan, Kan., to take on the 9-1 Kansas State Wildcats.
Still, Tigers coach Larry Smith insists his team is focused on the Wildcats — and possibly able of pulling off a huge upset.
"What we're trying to do now is put the last 10
games behind us and focus on only one Kansas State," Smith said.
A loss by the Wildcats tomorrow officially will knock them out of the North Division race. Kansas State could capture the division title if they defeat the Tigers tomorrow and Nebraska falls to Colorado on Thanksgiving weekend.
Sophomore Zain Gilmore probably will take most of the carries tomorrow after the suspension of running back DeVaughn Black.
Oklahoma State at Bavlor
Coaches typically use the final week of the football season to talk about the positives of the past football season. Baylor coach Kevin Steele, however, has a hard time seeing anything good about his 1-9 Bears.
"We keep looking for positives and we see little flashes here and there on the film where we can say there's a hope here and there's a hope there, but the whole thing is the scoreboard at the end of the field," Steele said. "We're obviously not pleased with that at all at this point in time."
The Cowboys, meanwhile, need to win their final two games to become bowl-eligible.

Unranked Buckeyes may not play in bowl
The Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Ohio State not in the Top 25? The Buckeyes not going to a bowl game?
It could happen.
Ohio State (6-5, 3-4 Big Ten) fell out of the Top 25 in the weekly Associated Press poll after a 46-20 loss to Illinois last week, the first time the Buckeyes have been unranked since 1994, following 71 consecutive poll appearances.
And if the Buckeyes lose their annual grudge match tomorrow against No. 10 Michigan (8-2, 5-2), they will miss out on a bowl for the first time since the 1988 season, John Cooper's first as coach.
"It's something I haven't had a chance to think about," said tight end Kevin Houser. "Coming to Ohio State, you just assume that you're going to go to a bowl game. When you've got a team like we do, when you've got the tradition
behind you, you expect it."
Cooper said even if the Buckeyes won tomorrow, they might elect to stay home.
"I'm not sure, if we were fortunate enough to win this game, that our players would even want to go a bowl game." Cooper said yesterday. "This will be the 12th game we've played, and it's been a long season."
Michigan can assure itself of a tie for second place in the Big Ten with a win.
"The reason you come to Michigan is to play big games," said quarterback Tom Brady. "Whether it's Notre Dame early or Michigan State in midseason or this one at the end, you want to play in big games."
Last year, the Buckeyes finished No.2 nationally for the second time in three years on the strength of a 31-16 win against Michigan and a Sugar Bowl win against Texas A&M.

Texas catcher wins AL MVP award
Rodriguez takes honor in an upset
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Texas catcher Ivan Rodriguez won the American League's Most Valuable Player award in an upset yesterday, even though Boston pitcher Pedro Martinez had more first-place votes.
Rodriguez, who hit .332 with 35 homers and 113 RBI, finished with seven first-place votes and 252 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
"That's the dream of every player, to get this award," Rodriguez said.
Martinez, who won the AL Cy Young Award earlier this week after going 23-4 with a 2.07 ERA
It was the closest MVP vote since 1996, when Seattle's Alex Rodriguez lost 290-287 to Texas' Juan Gonzalez.
and 313 strikeouts, had eight first-place votes and 239 points.
Ivan Rodriguez became only the fourth MVP to win without getting the most first-place votes, joining Detroit's Hal Newhouser, who beat teammate Dizzy Trout 236-232 in 1944; the New York Yankees' Roger Maris, who beat teammate Mickey Mantle 225-222 in 1960; and Pittsburgh's Roberto Clemente, who beat Los Angeles' Sandy Koufax 218-205 in 1966.
Voters list their top 10, and Rodriguez won largely because he was listed on the ballots of all 28 voters while Martinez was not listed by two: George King of the New York Post and La Velle Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
In 1947, Boston's Ted Williams lost the MVP to the Yankees' Joe DiMaggio 202-201 despite winning the Triple Crown because *Boston Globe* writer Mel Webb, who did not like the sometimes-surly Red Sox star, left Williams off his ballot.
Rodriguez received six seconds, seven thirds, five fifths, two sixths and one seventh, while Martinez got six seconds, four thirds, one fourth, two fifths, two sixths and three sevenths.
Cleveland's Manny Ramirez and Roberto Alomar tied for third with four first-place votes each and 226 points apiece.
Rangers designated hitter Rafael Palmeiro was fifth with four first-place votes and 193 points, and Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was sixth with one first-place vote and 177 points. Boston shortstop Nomar Garciaparra was seventh
with 137 points.
First-place votes are worth 14 points, seconds are worth 9, thirds worth 8 and so on.
Rodriguez's batting average was the highest by an AL catcher since he VanVernou '14
TEXAS WORLD CUP
BASKETBALL CLUB
Texas players have won the award in three of the past four years. Gonzalez, who was traded to Detroit earlier this month, won in 1996 and '98. The Rangers' only other winner was Jeff Burroughs in 1974.
Dickey hit .362 in 1936. Rodriguez also became the first AL catcher to hit .300 and reach 100 in runs (116) and RBI. He throw out 39 of 72 runners trying to steal (54 per cent.)
Ramirez's 165 RBI were the highest single-season total since Boston's Jimmy Foxx drove in 175 in 1938.
Former Dodger Scioscia new Angels manager
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The Anaheim Angels, who went through a chaotic season that led to the resignations of their manager and general manager, hired former Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia as their new field boss.
Scioscia, who turns 41 later this month, succeeds Terry Collins, who resigned Sept. 3 — four weeks before Basil Bavali stepped down as general manager.
"I've been working hard to get here, it's a big step in my life to get this opportunity." Scioscia said
yesterday. "We will do everything we can to make Anaheim a fun place this summer."
The Angels were the final big-league team without a manager before hiring Scioscia to his first major-league managerial job. He managed the Albuquerque Dukes of the Pacific Coast League, a Dodgers farm team, to a 65-74 record last season.
Bill Stoneman, hired Oct. 31 to succeed Bavasi, interviewed seven candidates. Scioscia and Joe Maddon, who served as interim manager after Collins resigned
were interviewed Nov. 9 during tne general managers meetings in Dana Point, Calif.
ANGELS
Others interviewed were former Kansas City Royals managers Bob Boone and Hal McRae, New York Yankees coach Chris Chambliss, Cleveland Indians minor-league manager Joel Skinner and Oakland Athletics coach Ken Macha.
"They were all very qualified people," Stoneman said. "I sought someone I thought would have the
ability to bring the club together. That was primary, someone who knew what it was like to be a team player, someone who would have a presence with the players, with the fans, with the organization."
After retiring as a player following the 1994 season, Sciosia was the Dodgers' minor league catching coordinator for two years and the team's bench coach for another two.
He resigned as manager of the Dukes on Sept. 20 — after the PCL season had ended — to pursue options with other major-league teams.

Cyclones looking for victory to end mediocre season
By Michael Riga
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
A quick glance at Iowa State's 4-6 record would lead many college football fans to think that the 1999 Cyclones are simply the latest in a long string of bad football teams at Iowa State.
But Cyclones coach Dan McCarrney sees more than that. He sees close losses to highly ranked teams, such as Iowa State's 35-28 defeat by Kansas State and a 44-14 loss to Texas. McCarrney sees a chance for the best record for Iowa State since 1989, when the Cyclones were 6-5 and Milli Vanilli was at the top of the Billboard charts. Most importantly, McCarrney sees a strong cornerstone for a program he believes can compete better in the Big 12 Conference in the next millennium.
"I think our administration, our fans, and the people who support us know that we have built a good foundation." McCarnev said.
That strong foundation has led to some heartbreaking defeats and some convincing victories this year. The Cyclones started the season 3-0 but have dropped five of their past six games. The lone victory in that stretch was a 24-21 road victory against Missouri, Iowa State's first conference win since 1991.
But despite the negative results during the last six weeks, McCarney can't help but be impressed with his team's improvement. Running back Darren Davis recently wondered what might have happened this season if Iowa State was able to upset Kansas State.
"I feel as if we would have pulled out that K-State game, then it would have been a different season," Davis said.
Still, McCarney is intent to focus on what the Cyclones did accomplish this season, as opposed to what they didn't.
Linebacker Ab Turner agreed.
"We are a lot better than our record shows." he said.
"This has been a real special team this year," McCarney said. "We have shown some very significant improvement in the program."
"It would be nice to finish on a good note,"McCarney said. "The last game is the one that is with you the longest."
We are a lot better than our record shows, he said. Iowa State wants to prove Turner's theory by beating Kansas tomorrow at Memorial Stadium. The Cyclones haven't won in Lawrence since 1989, but they know that the bad taste of the disappointing end of their season partially can be washed away with a road win tomorrow.
Iowa State defeated the Jayhawks 23-20 in last year's season finale, but McCarney and the Cyclones know that they are facing a different Kansas team than a year ago. McCarney is impressed with the Jayhawks' record at Memorial Stadium, where Kansas has looked impressive in its last three games.
"They have been playing super at home," McCarney said. "The last three home games they have played outstanding football, and they had Nebraska on the ropes."
McCarney said he also had been impressed with Kansas quarterback Dylen Smith, who passed for 132.1 yards per game for the Javhawks.
Kickoff is at 1 p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.

KU student dies from apparent kidney failure
By Katie Hollar
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas lost one of its own on Friday.
Michelle Galus, Nevada, Mo., senior, died Friday night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Hospital officials would not disclose the cause of death, but friends said that Galus suffered from kidney failure. She was 22.
Debra Berkowitz, Palatine, Ill. senior, said Galus received a kidney transplant in September, but her body rejected the organ.
"She'd been trying to recover since September, but she had all sorts of complications," Berkowitz said.
Galus had been a student at the University of Kansas for the past five years. She was a history major and planned to graduate in May. Galus served on the Student Senate rights committee for three years and was a member of Alpha Xi Delta sorority.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost, taught Galus in a history class this semester. Eakin said despite Galus' illness, she had kept up with her studies, doing the reading and getting notes from classmates.
Eakin said Galus was in class on Thursday.
"You've got to give her a lot of credit," Eakin said. "She took this whole thing in stride."
Berkowitz, a sorority sister of Galus', described her as good-spirited and upbeat.
"She showed everyone how to live through adversity and
overcome challenges," she said.
Kerry Waller, Springhill senior, compared her friend to Rose from The Golden Girls.
"She was a big talker," Waller said. "Her stories were just like Rose's from St. Olaf. She knew thousands of people, so she could tell you stories about all of them."
Waller recalled her favorite memory about Galus.
"Michelle had given us all water guns," she said. "It backfired on her,
and she was be e i n g c h a s e d around the apartm
getting soaked.
Waller said Galus enjoyed cooking and that her friend was very religious. She said

Galus: Had kidney transplant in September but suffered from complications
Galus attended St. Lawrence Catholic Church.
Mass of Christian Burial will be 10 a.m. tomorrow at St. Mary's Catholic Church in the city of Nevada. A Rosary service will be held at 6:30 tonight at Ferry Funeral Home in Nevada.
The family suggests memorial contributions to the National Kidney Foundation in care of Ferry Funeral Home.

University looks to corporate funds
Less money for higher education makes Coke contract more attractive Story by Derek Prater and Amber Stuever Photo Illustration by Kyle Ramsey
W
With dwindling financial support for higher education in Kansas, deals with corporate sponsors, like the University of Kansas's contract with Coca-Cola, are even more important, said Bob Bassow, associate professor of journalism.

to appeal the proposed budget, but in the meantime corporate sponsors can help ease financial woes.
"The University is in big need of private sponsors wherever we can find them." Basow said.
Basow's Advertising Campaigns class, along with a Business Communications Projects class, is evaluating how better to use the $300,000 Cake provides annually to promote its product on campus.
In spring 1988, the University signed a contract with Coke for $7 million up front and $450,000 a year for 10 years in exchange for exclusive rights to sell its products on campus. Last year, in addition to the $450,000 payment from Coca-Cola, the University made

The University also receives 55 percent of profits on Coke sales and 10 percent on candy sales, said Theresa Klinkenberg, University director.
"It's a deal that's working fairly well for KU, but the sales could be stronger." he said.
Klinkenberg said revenue generated from sales has been about $400,000 a year.
An additional $1 million will be paid to the University when the contract expires. Klinkenberg said that if commissions from sales exceed $700,000 in a given year, any money past that amount would be paid out of the $1 million.
She said that if bonus sales during the 10-year contract exceeded $1 million, the University would receive more than the $1 million guarantee, adding incentive to increase sales.

Basow said students were performing original research on how the promotional money provided by Coke could be used more effectively. The class looked at promotions at the University of Missouri, which outsells Kansas by a margin of approximately two to one, per person. Basow said.
Abbi Balsmeier, Newton senior and a member of the Advertising Campaigns class, said previous promotions such as the Tommy Hilfiger boxers-in-a-bottle campaign did not appeal to KU students.
"We think that money that's allotted for promotions could be spent more wisely," she said.

coverage of the Coke deal was unbiased, but editorials and commentary were often negative and focused on the commercialization of the University.
It's been very obvious that the benefits of the existing deal have not been well understood," he said.

Taco Bell bandito in the news
Chalupa-driven fury gets national notice for Kansas' Rayford
By Lari O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Dave Nagle saw the story about Kansas senior football player Dion Rayford's late night Taco Bell incident on "The Today Show" Friday morning around 7 a.m. at his home in Connecticut.
Rayford, a defensive end, went to Taco Bell, 1408 W. 23rd St., and did not get the chalupa he ordered. Police said Rayford was upset and got stuck forcing himself through the drive-thru window. He was arrested Wednesday morning for assault, criminal damage and transporting an open container.
Nagle then read the story soon after that in *The Hartford Courant* newspaper while he ate breakfast and heard it on one of the city's major radio stations. WTIC, during his drive to work.
All that was before the ESPN spokesperson arrived at work and learned the story had appeared in the On Campus segment of Sportscenter.
"A big guy getting stuck in the window, the chalupa catch phrase, it's got all the ingredients to be a great news story." Nagle said.
Apparently, he was not the only person to think so.
Newspapers in which the Dion Rayford/Taco Bell story appeared:
Kansas newspapers
Lawrence Journal World
The Kansas City Star
Topeka Capitol-Journal
The Wichita Eagle
U.S. newspapers
The Chicago Tribune
The Commercial Appeal (Memphis)
Los Angeles Times
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
MEDIA BLITZ
It appeared on the front page of the Chicago Tribune Friday, with the
headline "A Trip to Taco Hell."
The Kansas City Associated Press Bureau wrote the story and placed it on its news wire, accessible to newspapers across the country.
It was mentioned in two California-based national radio news services that were sent to radio stations across the country, including Lawrence's KLZR.
"The publicity is going to help us, especially since our largest consumer group is males between the ages of 18 and 25," said Kristen Tavares, public relations assistant with Taco Bell's corporate headquarters in Irvine.

The story also appeared in The Independent, a London newspaper, and in several Canadian newspapers.
It's safe to say the story has gone national — even international in some cases.
Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler said that someone from a Japanese newspaper called him late last week to ask about the story.

Tavares said she first heard the story Thursday when a man with Metro Network, a San Francisco news service, called for information.
"He said, 'You guys should sign him to be a spokesperson,'" she said, adding that it was too soon to tell if chalupa sales nationally had increased.
Johnny Brinkmann, manager at Taco Bell on 23rd Street, said the store had seen an increase of about 50 customers each day since the incident occurred there last Wednesday morning.
He said chalupa sales had almost doubled.

Students are vulnerable to theft during holidays
By Michael Terry
wrier@kansan.com
Kansas staff
With Thanksgiving break beginning this week, it's time for KU students to begin to secure their belongings for the five-day holiday.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said that just before and during the Thanksgiving break, students become increasingly susceptible to theft.
"One of the biggest mistakes students make is loading their vehicle a day early," Mailen said. "They leave items in plain sight where anyone passing by can see them."
Mailen said if it was necessary for students to load their car a day early, they should keep their belongings out of plain sight and, if possible, secured either in the trunk or glove box.
Malen said other things students should do included making sure their doors were locked at all times, and making sure they secured or took with them anything of value when they left.
"This is especially important at all the residence halls where a majority of the students will be leaving for the Thanksgiving break," Maillen said. "They don't realize someone could be watching them and possibly selecting their vehicle as a possible target."
"I'm just going to lock my door and hope
One of the biggest mistakes students make is loading their vehicle a day early. They leave items in plain sight where anyone passing by can see them."
Corey Reynolds, Ellsworth freshman and McColllum Hall resident said that he didn't plan to load his vehicle until he was ready to leave, but as far as his room went, he wasn't planning on taking any special precautions.
Mailen said it was important for students to remember that burglaries don't just happen during breaks, but year-round.
that nothing goes wrong," Reynolds said. "I trust that the McCollum staff will do a good job in keeping my things safe."
Sgt. Troy Mailen KU Public Safety Office
During the game against Missouri on Oct. 23, a group of Southwest Missouri State students were going around the Daisy Hill area during the game, entering rooms with unlocked doors.
"They were ransacking the room and taking anything they could find," Mailen said. "This is only one example of what can happen when a student leaves their door unlocked, and luckily in this case we were able to identify the suspects and recover the stolen property."
Heather Yates, Olathe senior and McColum Hall resident assistant, said she was aware of residents who were taking valuables home with them.
尤
"It's not something to get high-strugh and worried about," Yates said. "It's just important that students stay aware of what can happen."

Escaped inmate charged with murder of deputy
CLAY CENTER, Kan. — Her voice trembling at times, Kansas Attorney General Carla Stovall said the state will seek "justice as we know it here on earth" during a memorial service Saturday for a sheriff's deputy who was killed in the line of duty.
Stovall addressed 650 friends and officers from around Kansas during the service for James "Monk" Kenney, 62, who was shot to death Tuesday as he was serving a search warrant for an escaped jail inmate in nearby Morrillville.
During the service at the Clay Center Community High School, Stowall said, "The ultimate justice is God's to seek."
But Kenney's cousin, Father Chad Richard Hatfield, issued a call of mercy for Kenney's alleged killer.

Hatfield, who was officiating, said,
"It is in this plea for mercy that we

The inmate, Jeffery Hebert, 22, of Morganville, was charged Wednesday in Clay County Court with first-degree murder. He had escaped Monday night from the Cloud County Jail in Concordia.
Two other inmates had escaped with him and were captured within a couple of hours.
Hebert, who was serving time for violating probation for possession of marijuana, is being held in the Geary County Jail on $750,000 bond. He also was charged with the death of Kenney's police dog, Copper.

Victor Cordova Sr. said his son told him during a visit at the Luna County Juvenile Detention Center in Deming that he had planned to kill himself, but his arm was bumped and the loaded .22 caliber Colt revolver he held discharged. Police said they had no information that would corroborate that version of events.
Cordova Jr. — police said he is 13,

Teen drug use lower annual survey reveals
NEW YORK — Teenagers' drug use is leveling off amid growing evidence that America's youth, which once viewed drugs as almost a rite of passage, now views them as uncool, according to the annual survey by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America.
The 12th survey of U.S. teenagers, released Monday, found that 40 percent of those questioned thought "really cool" teens did not use drugs — an increase of 5 percent from last year.
Among 13- to 15-year-olds, only 8 percent believed marijuana smokers were popular, down from 13 percent last year and 17 percent in 1997, the survey found.
"The tide appears to be turning," said Partnership chairman James E. Burke. "Teenagers are disassociating drugs from critically important badges of teen identity."
But Burke said the war against drugs was far from over: "It's too early to declare a major turnaround in drug-related attitudes and drug use."

Cave explorers trapped for 10 days, rescued
WORLD
FLAUJAC, France — Rescue workers on Sunday reached seven cave explorers who had been trapped deep underground for 10 days by high water levels in southwestern France.
The cave explorers, stranded 330 feet underground since Nov.11, were reported in good condition. Workers on Sunday began the slow process of helping them ascend.
French residents followed the story closely, and people sent messages of support to family members.
About 150 people had been working to locate and rescue the seven men who took refuge in an arching underground chamber as heavy rains lifted the water level of an underground river, blocking their exit.
Family and rescuers had gathered in Flaujac, 340 miles south of Paris, above the cavern where the men were trapped. Many popped open bottles of champagne Sunday when they learned the good news.
Turkish government offers help to homeless
ISTANBUL, Turkey—The interior ministry offered Sunday to put up 11,000 people - a fraction of those left homeless in Turkey's devastating quakes - in state summer camps throughout the country.
The official death toll in the Nov. 12 quake reached 710 Sunday, with more than 5,100 people injured, the government said. The toll was expected to increase as people report dead relatives they had quickly buried after the quake.
Some 200,000 people who either lost their homes or are afraid to return to housing were sleeping outside in the bitter cold nine days after the 7.2-magnitude quake hit Bolu province, which still is rocked by aftershocks.
More than 17,000 people died in August when a quake struck Turkey's industrial heartland, just west of Bolu province.

Policy revision passes first step

University may give students clean slate for retaking classes
A revised course retake policy is one step closer to becoming a reality at the University of Kansas.
The University Council's Academic Policies and Procedures subcommittee approved the policy by a vote of 7 to 1. Faculty Senate chairman Jim Carothers abstained from the vote.
Dede Seibel, student body vice president, said the policy's passage was a small victory for students.
"In terms of offering an advantage to students, this is a policy that really enables that," she said. "This has far-reaching effects. We're giving students a second chance."
In its present form, University policy allows a student to retake a class with the permission of the applicable school's dean. The student receives an average of the first grade and the new grade.
The revised policy would wipe the slate clean. The grade a student receives after retaking the class would be the one reflected in his or her grade point average. The first grade, however, would remain on the student's transcript.
Bernard Hirsch, associate professor of English, was the only subcommittee member to vote against the policy. He said he simply did not think it

"I don't see what problem it solves," he said. "Obviously, if you do something longer, you'll get better at it. Time is finite. A semester is enough time for a student to master the material."
When students experience personal crises that could affect their grades, instructors must be humane, Hirsch said. But those who would use the policy as a failsafe, would take undue advantage of instructors' time.
"If you're working with students and doing the best to help them succeed, only to find it doesn't count for much, it's frustrating." Hirsch said.
Hirsch cited other universities' trimester and quarter systems to illustrate that the University offers ample time to learn. Moreover, a student can choose to elect an option such as credit/ no credit or pass/fall, or simply take an incomplete he, said.
However, many students — especially freshmen and sophomores — aren't aware of those options. Seibel said.
"Many things preclude that, in terms of the assimilation process," she said.
Seibel said the new policy would facilitate better relationships between students and faculty and would help the University.
"By implementing a policy like this, we'll be more pro-student," she said.
The policy still must pass the Senate Executive committee, University Council and University Senate before it can be approved by the provost and the chancellor.

Statue of beloved dean rededicated
Law school alumni gather and share memories, folklore
By Clay McCuistion writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
SOMERSET
Nearly 100 law school alumni gathered in front of Lippincott Hall Saturday morning to rededicate the statue of James Woods Green, first dean of the University of Kansas School of Law.
It was the 75th anniversary of the dedication of the statue of "Uncle Jimmy" Green and an unidentified student. Green died 80 years ago.
Paul E. Wilson, professor emeritus of law, speaks to a crowd of about 100 law school alumni at the rededication of the James Wools Green Stature in front of Lippincott Hall. Saturday was the 75th anniversary of the dedication of the statue of Green, first dean of the University of Kansas School of Law. Photo by Jay Shepard/KANSAN
"Today's ceremony is not about a statue, it's about a tradition," said Michael Hoeflich, the current dean of the school. "This is not just an ending, but a beginning."
Hoefflich said at the ceremony that the school's class of 1958 had raised money to install a bas-relief version of the statue in Green Hall. Lippincott — renamed in 1979 after Joshua A. Lippincott, chancellor from 1883 to 1889 — was formerly the school's home and called Green Hall.
"We hope that in a few years, we will have a second reflection of this statue," Hoeflich said. "Uncle Jimmy would have been proud of his legacy."
Paul E. Wilson, professor emeritus of law, spoke about Green and the history of the statue. He noted the length of time that had passed since Green served as dean.
"Though his spirit remains with us, his body has been gone 80 years," he said.
Wilson, seated and occasionally drowned out by the sounds of passing traffic, said he had heard much about Green when he started practicing law 60 years ago.
"Everyone I spoke to would be able to recall some story or relationship with Uncle Jimmy," Wilson said. "I think I knew him vicariously, if not immediately."
Wilson said Green had an easygoing nature and was devoted to students.
"We honor him, I think, because if he wasn't a great scholar, he was a great human being." Wilson said.
After Green's death, alumni approached Daniel Chester French, one of the foremost sculptors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and asked him to memorialize the dean. French's best-known work is the sculpture of Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln memorial. The sculptor refused the request at first but was convinced to visit Lawrence and talk to those who had known Green.
"According to the folklore, he said he had never known any person except Abraham Lincoln who was so beloved by the people who knew him." Wilson said.
The sculpture was unveiled in 1924
After Wilson's remarks, Michael Davis, professor of law, read briefly from the statue's original dedication.
Douglas Waters, 1971 graduate of the school, said he was happy to attend the event. It wasn't necessarily about the statue, he said, but about respect for tradition.
"There's always been a tight bond between the faculty of the law school and the students," Waters said. "There's nothing big or amazing about it, but I certainly have good memories."
Waters attended with his son David Waters, a first-year law student from Leavenworth. The younger Waters said the event was a chance to learn about the school's history.
"Being down there in the law school, I never come up to this area," he said.

Kansas trio lends scientific expertise to NASA
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Bv Amanda Kaschube
Armstrong has been part of a team that is lending its expertise to the Cassini spacecraft, which has been in orbit since October 1997.
Although Tom Armstrong, professor of physics and astronomy, can't walk on the moon, he was selected to help NASA with one of its latest projects.
The spacecraft, which already has traveled to Venus, Jupiter and Earth, will travel to the sixth planet, Saturn, by July 2004.
"It's important for scientific and technological reasons," he said. "It's going to help us understand the things in space and why they are there. This is the most recent and biggest expedition."
Armstrong, along with colleague Jerry Manweller and Lucas Miller, Atchison junior, have been working through Fundamental Technologies, 2411 Ponderosa, to develop the magneospheric imaging measurement investigation, which will enable the spacecraft to detect radiation levels on the ringed planet.
"While the orbiter surveys Saturn's icy satellites, rings, plasmas and magnetic field, we will be observing and comparing results with Earth, Jupiter and the outer planets," Armstrong said.
The spacecraft also may uncover the answer to the question that has intrigued Armstrong — does Saturn's moon Titan have frozen water underneath the surface? If the theory is true, it may give scientists an insight to primordial
Earth, Armstrong said.
The trio began working with NASA in 1989, when the three were selected out of a large group of specialists and professors to work on the Cassini project.
Armstrong, who will co-author a paper on the spacecraft's expedition for a conference in December, said he had always hoped to work with the space program.
"It was quite a surprise when we were selected," he said. "We've done a lot of work, and we have also introduced a lot of students to the work as well."
Miller, who has worked with Armstrong on other space-related projects since 1995, said he felt very lucky to be working with the professors and NASA.
"I couldn't ask for a better set-up." he said. "Professor
Armstrong leaves most of the details to me, and he just points me in the right direction. I've been writing programs to track the spacecraft."
Miller has been analyzing and tracking the data from the Cassini-Earth swing-by in August.
The team does most of the research and modifications from their Lawrence office but travels to Cape Caneral, Fla., occasionally.
"The whole investigation is funded, and we are reimbursed for our expenses." Armstrong said. "It's modest pay as opposed to generous. We will be working on the Cassini project for a long time."
After Cassini reaches Saturn, it will return to Earth by 2008, barring any catastrophic failure.

Bill would improve enrolling process
Each semester nearly every student at the University of Kansas goes through the tedious and stressful process of selecting classes. A proposed bill going through Student Senate may alleviate some of that stress by encouraging faculty to make the content of individual courses available to students.
Currently, there are only two resources for students to find out what academic material is covered in a particular course section — the University course catalog and the course content Web page. The catalog briefly and vaguely summarizes the general concept behind a class, and the course content Web page is where faculty voluntarily make class syllabuses
Course content Web page could prevent class shopping by providing syllabuses
available to students
The problem with the current system is that most students are unaware of the specific content of a course before they enroll. Also, not enough faculty participate in the Web page. This leads to several logistical enrollment problems and, from the students' perspective, frustration about what class best fits their needs. By not having course content available for students, some enroll in a course with expectations of the subject matter
that aren't necessarily true.
Students and faculty will benefit directly from improving the course content system. Faculty will see more students with engaging faces who have a desire to learn in their lectures rather than sleep through something they don't care about.
"Class shopping" also may be prevented by making syllabuses public. Students will not have the frustration of switching courses early in the semester because the instructor or course does not best fit their academic needs. Promoting this latest Senate resolution is a logical and necessary step to improving academic quality.

Pay just part of problem
I rarely had the opportunity to see a more self-serving argument than that made by KU administrators in the article "Going for Gold," which appeared in the Nov. 9 issue of the Kansan. Both CLAS Dean Frost Mason and Chancellor Hemenway content that the reason that KU cannot retain many of its faculty is because of low salaries. In fact, money is only one issue behind the faculty drain at the University.
The KU administration seems to ignore the fact that the exodus of faculty has occurred since Chancellor Hemenway came to the University, but that salaries have been low for a long time. It is unlikely, therefore, that the issue is simply one of low salaries, Dean Frost Mason is quoted in the article as saying that a record number of professors left CLAS last year, a phenomenon more likely related to recent changes in the operations of the college than to a sudden realization by the faculty that the University has below average salaries. Chancellor Hemenway has significantly increased faculty research and teaching expectations, reorganized faculty governance and rewritten the faculty handbook, making it much easier to fire tenured faculty. The result of these changes is a significant decrease in job satisfaction, as reflected in a recent survey of KU faculty. At the same time, he has raised the salaries of administrators much more than he has those of faculty, contributing to the current morale problem.
As a member of the faculty who has considered leaving the University, I can state that the major reason I would leave have little to do with salary, but is instead related to the destructive social environment for faculty on the KU campus, in which genuine accomplishment is downplayed and sycophancy to the current administration is rewarded. This atmosphere has led to the filing of numerous lawsuits against the university by faculty.
I know several of the "record number of professors" lost by the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences last year, and not one left solely for increased salary. All of the ones to whom I spoke described the lack of respect for faculty and the change in the atmosphere at KU since 1996 as their major reasons for leaving. This was particularly true of minority faculty who left the University, who felt that there was a lot of talk about increasing diversity on campus but no substantive action being taken to retain minority faculty.
For example, in Dean Frost Mason's own department this fall, 5 of 6 candidates for tenure, including two minority women, were voted down. This indicates a major lack of mentoring on the part of senior faculty, including the dean. The number of junior faculty being turned down for tenure and promotion under the current administration has skyrocketed, with an associated increase in anxiety among junior faculty yet to come forward. The reasons for firing faculty as they come up for tenure is that you can replace them with less expensive new faculty and lecturers. In the last 5 years, the University has removed over 40 tenured faculty lines and replaced these people with more than 100 "lecturers" who serve on one year contracts and can be terminated at the whim of a department chair or administrator. Additional statistical information can be found on our web site at www.seekpeace.com/KUSRVC. Given the insecurity associated with such temporary appointments combined with the hard line on tenure and promotion, it is hardly surprising that faculty morale at the University is low.
If the chancellor, the provost, and the dean of CLAS are really concerned about the loss of faculty, they should work hard to change the atmosphere that they have created on campus. If they cannot change this atmosphere, it doesn't matter how much money they pay faculty; they will continue to lose faculty at record rates.
Lawrence has many Spring Break Alternatives
Raymond Pierotti Associate professor, ecology and evolutionary biology representative, Kansas University Sexism and Racism Victim Coalition
"Spring Breaks not just for fun frolic" (Kansan, 11-12-99) was excellent. In addition to spring breaks offered through the Center for Community Outreach there are opportunities sponsored by Ecumenical Christian Ministry, Canterbury House, KU Habitat, and Lutheran Campus Ministry. The trips are open to all students, faculty, and staff at the University as well as to Haskell Indian Nations University. No one is given a "religious hassle." We have had a Jewish, Christian, Buddhist and Muslim participants and those who do not identify with a religious tradition. In the spring of 2000, there will be trips offered to New Mexico, Texas, South Carolina, and New York City. All of them include volunteer service. A major difference is that there is no class enrollment required, although up to three orientation meetings are required.
The Alternative Spring Breaks offered through CCO began through Julie Ford, a KU student who went on ECM's New Mexico trip during spring break 1992. She was encouraged to incorporate similar spring breaks into CCO's programming. The result was been superb because of the hard work and efforts of the CCO leadership. Going on an Alternative Spring Break can be a "transforming experience." I hope those interested will take a "risk" while providing service to others.

Election time offers less than apples and oranges

you go and complain to the store manager?
If there's one thing that I get sick of hearing during election season, it's "if you don't vote, you can't complain." Maybe that would be true if we had an electoral system that offered a real choice among candidates, but as it stands, we're left with a "choice" between moderate Democrats — 'third way' Democrats — and moderate Republicans — 'compassionate conservatives;' moderation to the point of stagnation.
The bifurcated fruit basket that is our political system has been expanded upon with the addition of an anti-Semitic, racist banana and third political party. Although I certainly take issue with their personal and political views, I also think that it's a step in the right direction in expanding our political dialogue.
Voter turnouts are atrociously low, and popular participation in the political process is almost nonexistent. While some would like to blame this on the people, I instead see it as an incredible deficiency in our political system.
Nobody votes because nobody thinks that it really matters. And on many levels, it really doesn't. How can you still vote democratic when a Democrat president pulled a very Republican move and signed a welfare reform bill that effectively abolished Aid to Families with Dependent Children?
Both major political parties have become so enmeshed in the interests of the "free market" and corporate America — witness bipartisan support for the North American Free Trade Agreement and General Agreement on Trades and Tariffs — that people don't think that anyone speaks to their
Of course, there still are reasons to vote — even in a rigged contest between two members of the power elite. Democrats still talk about child poverty and universal health care, and these are issues that need to be addressed and dealt with. Do I think that they will be effectively dealt with in the framework of the current political dialogue? No I don't.
interests anymore. They're right; no one in the mainstream does.
People who don't vote have the greatest right to complain of anyone. When the political process has become so formalistic, so routine, so shrouded in the trite rhetoric of "community" and "courage" and "values" that they become meaningless ideas, it is time to rethink the entire process and give people a reason to get into politics.
This process begins with actively encouraging alternative political views to come to light. Massive finance reform, to the level of eliminating private campaign financing and putting politics back into the public sector, is a good place to start. No one critical of corporate wealth and power will get the kind of private financing that the tools of corporate power, Democrats and Republicans, will get. And we're all well aware of the importance that money plays in the current process.
Along with this goes regulating the main media services — newspaper, radio and television — so that more equitable time is allotted to candidates from a wide range of political parties. As it stands, a select few candidates are hyper-exposed to the point where you would think that they were the only people worth paying attention to. They're not.
The list could go on, and like most things that I write about, we would have to really question the basic principles under which this society operates to see any meaningful change.
So, in the meantime, I would recommend looking at www.politics1.com. It's a great site that lists all sorts of American political parties, from the most boring, Democrat and Republican, to the more extreme Socialist Workers Party. You just may find your political voice in the fruit salad that is our political system.

Americans should watch what their taxes support
Much has been said about the controversial exhibition entitled "SENSATION: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection at the Brooklyn Museum of Art." In The University Daily Kansan, there have been several columns, one cartoon and one editorial about this exhibition. Why should you read one more?
The answer is: That there are some topics that should be mentioned again and again in order not to be forgotten.
"The only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject is by hearing what can be said about it by
The exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art deals with two aspects of United States that are very important to all of us: freedom of expression and economics. Coming from a Third World country, I have to say that I admire America's openness to a variety of opinions and ability to constantly finance the cost of bringing international exhli-

persons of every variety of opinion," said philosopher John Stuart Mill.
But the problem with freedom of expression and the bad quality of art is not what is bothering New Yorkers, or Kansans, either. What some people did not like was the idea of this exhibition being sponsored by our public funds (yes, I say our public funds because although I'm a foreign student, I have to pay taxes like everybody else). And when money is involved, relationships between those for a given action and those against it usually get ugly.
bitions to its museums. By being able to see and talk about different ideas, viewers can only enhance their ability to understand the world and its diversity. That is the price Americans pay to tolerate what some consider bad art.
What is so bad about this exhibition — that most of us just saw through television — that can mobil-
lize so many people against it? Why do people complain so much about the Brooklyn Museum of Art exhibit and not about the public funds that have been used to maintain that, and other, institutions?
Let's look at the case of the School of the Americas. Since 1946, Americans have sponsored a U.S. Army base in Ft. Benning, Ga., to train Latin American soldiers. The result? Hundreds of human rights abuses that have been committed by the graduates of the School of the Americas in the name of fighting communism.
The following are two profiles of the more notorious graduates of the School of the Americas, taken from the home page of the School of the Americas Watch, an online publication working to shut down the school.
As I've said, Americans have the right to express themselves freely and to a stable economy that enables it to promote a forum of ideas. So, instead of trying to cut a museum's public funds or trash an exhibition that we haven't even seen, let's use this freedom of expression to denounce crimes such as the School of the Americas and promote justice and diversity as much as we can.
"Gen. Manuel Noriega — jungle operations, drug trafficking, racketeering. De facto leader of Panama who, in 1988, became the most powerful foreign official ever indicted by the United States." "Gen. Roberto Viola — military dictator, 1981: Achieved power via scheduled change of military rulers. Viola was convicted of murder, kidnapping and torture during the 'dirty wars.'"
If we are concerned about how our public funds are being used, we should focus on issues that can have real impact. Looking to art — good or bad — can only enhance our critical and artistic skills. Tolerating the School of the Americas in the name of democracy has kept Latin America in turmoil even after the Cold War. Besides that, financing this violent institution has not benefited you in anyway.

In the new documentary Shades of Gray, KU graduate and local filmmaker Tim DePaepe focuses on the lives of five gay people living in Kansas. The film recounts their struggles for acceptance, tolerance and equality within their families and communities.
Set against the historical background of two major civil rights battles fought and won in Kansas, the film also details the events of a successful 1995 campaign by the Simply Equal coalition to have the words "sexual orientation" added to Lawrence's human relations ordinance.
DePaepe, who graduated from KU with a bachelor's degree in film studies in 1990, said he got the idea to do the film seven years ago while following the Clinton/Dole debates. He said he became fed up with the candidates' positions on the issue of gays in the military and detested the fact that the rest of the country was associating the opinions of Bob Dole with Kansas.
"I said to myself, 'I'm going to do a film about gay people in Kansas,'" DePapepe said. "If the rest of the world knew that there were gay people living in Kansas, the rest of the world would have to deal with the fact that there are gay people everywhere."
DePapee, who is straight, said he felt a connection with the five people he interviewed.
"I think in terms of the stereotypical Midwestern attitude, the two most detested forms of existence are artists and gay people." DePaepe said. "I see myself as an artist. Growing up in Emporia, I didn't fit in to the landscape."
DePaepe said Kansas often was stereotypically portrayed as a conservative state. Janet Pryor, a lesbian who grew up in Scammon and whose story is told in the film, concurs.
"When people think about gays and lesbians and bisexuals and transgender people, they don't think about Kansas," Pryor says in the film. "They think East Coast, West Coast; they think San Francisco. They think anywhere but Kansas."
The film suggests that gays and lesbians living in Kansas are few and far between and that acceptance of homosexuality in Kansas is far from the norm. Many of the

film's subjects discuss the difficulty of being gay in homogeneously straight rural communities. They talk about what it is like to grow up without gay role models and they discuss their initial fears of what would happen if it was found out within their home communities that they were gay.
TOMMY
When several classmates found out that Michael Lovegrove, who grew up in Haysville and is featured in the film, was gay, they beat him severely and pointed a gun at his head.
The film also relates the experience of coming out to family, friends and community.
Most of those profiled left their home communities and initially came out elsewhere. Many felt it necessary to explore their identities outside of their relations to their families. One went to New York, three others came to Lawrence.
Lawrence ironically is portrayed as a haven for gays and lesbians who seek refuge within the state's borders, even though it offers them little protection under the law.
Ben Zimmerman, retired professor of social welfare and civil rights activist, whose evolution from being a closedet
gay man to a being a publicly gay man is documented in the film. In 1994, the then 77-year-old Zimmerman led the coalition, Simply Equal. The coalition fought to add the words "sexual orientation" to the city's human relations ordinance. The ordinance allows the city to investigate claims of discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodation.
The proposal was strongly opposed by a coalition of local ministers, some members of the Douglas County Republican Party and some members of the City Commission. In the end, however, Simply Equal's efforts were successful. On April 25, 1995, Zimmerman's 78th birthday, the Commission voted 3-2 to add sexual orientation to the ordinance. In doing so, Lawrence became the first and only city in Kansas to include sexual orientation in its human rights ordinances.
Zimmerman could not be reached for comment.
Simply Equal's victory is undercut significantly in the film by the influence of Fred Phelps. DePaepe said Phelps welcomed the chance to offer his side and told him that the story of gays in Kansas could not adequately be told without including the efforts of Westboro Baptist Church. DePaepe said interviewing Phelps was a difficult process. He likened it to the scene in the film The Silence of the Lambs, when Jodie Foster's character first interviews Hannibal Lecter.
"Very rarely does anyone get to experience looking into the eyes of absolute hate," DePaepe said.
In the film, Phelps reiterates his views on homosexuality and speaks candidly about his childhood in Mississippi, his history as a civil rights attorney and his picketing of Matthew Shepard's funeral. The film features footage of Phelps and his supporters at Shepard's funeral.
In the film, Phelps says that Shepard "lived his life predicated on the lie that it's okay to be gay."
He also says that Kansas is becoming increasingly popular for the message of his church.
DePapepe said the title of the film referred to the gray matter that comes from misconceptions and ignorance. He also said that knowing one's sexual identity was black or white but that coming out had many different levels, or shades of gray.
Jesse Summers, Iola senior, attended a private screening of the film earlier this month. He said the film gave him a more realistic view of the problems gays face in Kansas. "You hear stories all the time about discrimination and bashing," Summers said, "But to hear and see people who've actually faced it relating their experiences really puts it in perspective."
DePaepe said he hoped that gay children and parents could take their families to see the film and that it also might help open heterosexuals' minds.
"I hope they can look at the issue from a different perspective, from the perspective of life and what embracing all forms of sexual identity can do for the social fabric," he said.
DePape is in the process of sending the film to different film festivals for review, such as the Sundance Film Festival and the South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival in Austin.
"There are 500 film festivals internationally," DePaepe said. "If we get the film into five of them, then I'll feel that it will have been a success."

Use of virgin plastic concerns University
By Todd Halstead and

Although Coca-Cola uses virgin plastic to bottle its products, the University of Kansas has instituted a recycling program with money from its contract with the company.
She said the Resource Conservation and Recycling Center was determining how many bottles were recycled or thrown away on campus each day.
Theresa Klinkenberg, University director, said the University was looking for alternatives to the bottling practices employed by Coca-Cola
Victoria Silva, environmental program manager of Resource Conservation and Recycling, said that Coca-Cola provided $100,000 in recycling start-up costs two years ago and that the University allocated $10,000 from the Coca-Cola funds each year for maintenance of the recycling program.
Silva said her organization had more than 100 plastic recycling bins on campus and 50 multiuse bins in addition to two trucks used for transportation of the materials.
Coke's failure to use recycled polyethylene terephthalate has concerned the University.
"We actually talked to Coca-Cola about why they aren't using more recycled contents in their bottles," Klinkenberg said. "We are hoping to get the bottling company in Kansas City, who is party to the contract, to use recycled materials on a local level."
She said the University had approached the Coca-Cola Company of Mid-America, which bottles Coke for the Midwest, about using recycled materials in its local packaging.
Bill Sheehan, coordinator for the national GrassRoots Recycling Network, said the organization was involved in a direct action campaign
against Coca-Cola and supported any effort by the University to promote recycling on campus.
"It would be significant if the University of Kansas could do that," Sheehan said. "If it could be done there, why not elsewhere?"

Shannon Martin, coordinator for KU Environs, said the organization was in the process of creating a campaign to inform the public about Coca-Cola's recycling practices and to support reinstituting the company's use of aluminum cans.
Sheehan also said that because Coca-Cola does not use recycled plastic, PET recycling rates have fallen.
Coca-Cola representatives could not be reached for comment.

Kansas State University has become the latest casualty in the cola wars.

In early November, Kansas State joined the University of Nebraska as the second Big 12 Conference school to contract with PepsiCo Inc.

K-State's contract will bring $2.3 million in general scholarships and a $5 million allocation to the university's Hale Library. Throughout the contract period, Pepsi vending machines will grow in number on the Manhattan campus.
"I'm just waiting until we have purple Pepsi machines everywhere and cans with Powercats on them," said Michael Bonebrake, a Kansas State junior.
Tom Schellhardt, Kansas State associate vice president for administrative finance, said the university began the process of choosing an exclusive product about a year and a half ago. He said Kansas State prepared requests for the proposals last May and approached Pepsi and Coca-Cola.
"Both seemed very interested in the contract," said Schellhardt, who represented Kansas State on the negotiations committee. "We did not
go back to either one, though. They both had the opportunity to submit their best and final offers."
university chose to sign with Pepsi for several reasons, including its positive, longstanding relationship with Marysville's Pepsi Cola Bottling Co., which will serve as
the distributor. He said another factor was the athletic department's existing contract with Pepsi, which expires in 2005.
Schellhardt would not share the specific details of the Coke proposal but said the
Schellhardt said a study
conducted by the university's vending services also showed that based on sales, K-State students preferred Pepsi products, specifically Mountain Dew and Diet Pepsi.
Schellhardt also spoke with other Big 12 Conference universities to see what had worked in their contracts. K-State's contract includes an inflationary clause, guaranteeing that the money the school receives will increase with inflation, a feature most universities' contracts do not have.
"When we considered everything we were interested in, when we looked at the nature of the two philosophies, it just seemed to lean toward Pepsi-Cola." Schellhardt said.
Pat Bosco, dean of students,
said considerations included

vending services would not
change and that full-time
vending employees who
worked on campus would not
lose their jobs.
Bonebrake said he was annoyed neither he nor any other students were surveyed for their opinions before the contract. He said he thought K-State administration should have polled the students.

Company offers aid to children of faculty
By Michael Terry and Mike Miller writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writers
Matthew Adeyanju doesn't drink Coca-Cola products, but his children get a combined $2,000 a year from the multi-million dollar company.
可口可乐
The money is used for his three children, Toyin, a senior majoring in biology; Yemi, a junior majoring in journalism; and Femi, a freshman majoring in engineering. All three attend the University of Kansas. Because the average cost of tuition for instate students to attend the University for one year is about $2,500. Matthew Adeyanju will take any extra financial aid he can get for his children. Most of the scholarship money is used for textbooks and supplies.
For the last two years, Coke has made money available for the University to distribute scholarships ranging from $250 to $1,000 to the sons and daughters of full-time faculty and staff members.

Adeyanju said he knew that some other colleges allow their faculty's dependents to attend school on a full-scholarship, so he was grateful that Coke was able to provide his family with some sort of financial aid.
"It's better than nothing," he said.
Diana Carlin, acting associate provost of academic services, said that to receive the scholarship, students must be incoming freshmen who have never attended another college or university after graduating high school. The students must have scored at least a 24 on the ACT or 1090 on the SAT and have a 2.5 grade point average. They also can qualify with a 21 ACT or 970 SAT and a 3.0 GPA.

Carlin said Theresa Klinkenberg, university director, had the number of students who receive scholarships. Klinkenberg could not be reached for comment.
Though the scholarships are awarded as a one-time $1,000 scholarship, they can be extended and increased based on need and GPA, depending on fund availability.
Students are also ineligible if they are pursuing their second degree. Adevyanjiu's wife, Rachel, attends the KU Med Center and is a graduate student in the school of nursing but isn't eligible for any Coke scholarship money.

Administrators defend value of Coca-Cola contract
By Chris Bornier and Amanda Kashcule writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writers
Given the University of Kansas' contracts with a major corporation such as Coca-Cola, some students may think the University is a commodity that can be bought and sold to the highest bidder. Still, University administrators say students reap the benefits of the contract.
"All of the things we have with the Coke contract are things we didn't have before," he said. "Maybe it's not a good deal for Pepsi lovers, but the University believes that's a small price to pay."
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said much of the money went to student organizations and scholarships.
Ambler said that the University's 10-year contract with Coke, signed in 1997, was worth $20 million — most of which is fed into scholarship programs for National Merit Scholars and the children of University employees. The money also finances developmental workshops such as LeaderShape, he
"The money shifts the values of the University — the priorities don't reflect those of the University, but of the moment and the money," Katzman said. "It risks the integrity and intellectual freedom of the University."
But David Katzman, chairman of the American Studies department, said the contract detracts from the University's educational mission.
said.
Amber also said he understood Katzman's concerns, but said the University took steps to maintain its autonomy.
"If people feel these contracts with Coke or any other business have any undue influence on the University or detracts from its mission, I wouldn't support that, either." Amber said.
However, Katzman said Coke could get away with subtle infringements of the University's autonomy.

"Coke trucks park illegally all the time on campus," he said. "If a student or professor were to do that, they would get nailed with a ticket."

Chalupa madness
The customers aren't always right
Local restaurants become frustrated by unruly patrons
By Amanda Kaschube and Amben Stuever
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writers
When Kathryn Dodson, owner of Pyramid Pizza, heard about the chalupa tantrum that police say got Kansas football player Dion Rayford stuck in the Taco Bell window. she laughed.
"He got what he deserved," she said.
Obnoxious behavior is familiar to Dodson, who has seen her share of customer misbehavior during late-night shifts at Pyramid Pizza, 701 W. Ninth St. At its old location at 14th and Ohio streets, for example, customers regularly would try to steal pizza out of the pizza warmer behind the counter and run out the door.
"You get some really drunk people coming in," Dodson said.
Similar drunken misbehavior occurs in many Lawrence restaurants that stay open as late as
bars.
John Christen has witnessed several burrito fights while work-
Dodoson recalled several of these episodes, including a customer who couldn't balance himself on a

guy who has to deliver it because they are delivering it to a bunch of drunken idiots," he said.
Drive-thru restaurants have the same problem in dealing with college students such as Jesse Ehert, Coral Springs, Fla., junior.
Ehert went to Arby's, 1533 W. 23rd St., during finals to order snacks for himself and his friends.
"They close at 11 o'clock, and at five minutes to 11, I ordered 20 roast beefs with cheddar and they were really rude to me," he said. "They were pretty pissed."
Hodes admits that service isn't always perfect at 2 a.m.
"They do leave out stuff in orders sometimes," Hodes said. "But usually I just sympathize with them dealing with people going 'blah blah blah' into the microphone."
Sometimes, Dodson said, customers' rowdy actions can get them in tighter binds than just being stuck in a Taco Bell drive-thru window.
She remembered episodes in which fights broke out, the police had to intervene to stop a drunken driver and where customers made crude comments to employees.
"I guess they may think they're being sexy, but they're not," she said.

"Everyone coming through is asking about the story," Brinkmann said. "One guy came through and asked for hot sauce. He said we better give it to him because he didn't want to have to jump through the window to get it himself."
Rich Bowers, Topeka's 97 Country radio station personality "Radio Rich," mentioned the story Friday on his morning show, touted to be the most listened to morning show in Northeast Kansas.
"We used it in our Who's in Trouble in Sports Today segment," he said. "People were calling in to defend him. One lady said the Taco Bell Chihuahua was in his car with him and made him do it. We kind of had fun with it."
Rayford was suspended from the last football game of the sea.

He was also not allowed to suit up and stood on the sidelines in gray sweats during the game.
Angela McGuire, Lawrence graduate student, said she saw the story on NBC Friday.
"It's unfortunate that it went national," she said. "Kansas already has a negative image, and now it has a negative image with the university name behind it."
Jerrett Fulton, Dallas, Tex., junior, said he did not think the national coverage shed a negative light on the University or its students.
"If it was something with more severity, I would understand why we wouldn't want people to know about it," he said. "But this is a lighter thing. I though it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard."
Chalupa roots go beyond fast food

Did Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara chow on chalupas during his doomed insurgence into Bolivia?
To know the answer is to know the history of the chalupa.
Tomas Chacon, Chihuahua, Mexico, graduate teaching assistant, said the chalupa was an integral cultural food in central Mexico.
Chacon said that the original meaning of the name stemmed from a woman who sold flowers from a boat on a lake in central Mexico.
“This is very old,” Chacon said. “Maybe since the age of the Aztecs. But the name of the dish did not exist until the beginning of this century — maybe not until the 1930s.”
"The only relation is the boat had the same shape of a chalupa," he said.
The soft tortilla came to symbolize the boat, and the woman was symbolized by the inner goodness of the chalupa.
"Everybody makes them differently," Del Campo said. "It depends on what state of Mexico you're in."
Maggie Del Campo, whose parents own La Tropicana, 434 Locust St., said the chalupa came from years and years of culture dating back to when Aztecs and other indigenous empires inhabited Mexico. She said the chalupa varied throughout Mexico, and that in the south the chalupa was called a tostada.
"I'm sure that he was eating something like a chalupa," Chacon said. "But it wasn't called a chalupa then."
Chacon said that he was not sure if Che ate chalupas because of his geographical location, but Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa may have dined on some incarnation of the food.

Just what in the world of sports would drive a grown man to force himself through a drive-thru window and menace fast-food employees? Alcohol and idiocy, you may say, but maybe there's more than that.
Maybe the real culprit is the irresistibility of pillowy flatbread, fried and filled with delicious toppings. Maybe the real culprit is the mysterious Taco Bell chalupa. In both advertisements and real life, the chalupa has the power to draw law enforcement to the scene. What is going on here?
We set out to investigate firsthand the elusive power of three variations on the chalupa theme supreme. Baia and Santa Fe.
Reviews and ratings (on a scale of one to four Dions — one Dion being barely edible and four Dions being a chalupa you'd risk national embarrassment for):
Supreme Chalupa — 1.5 Dions
Emilv Hughev
Welcome to Taco Hell. Have a chalupa. Despite the recent hype surrounding the flatbread-wrapped T-Bell ground beef, the uneven blob of sour cream, an occasional tomato and a smattering of lettuce, the supreme chalupa is nothing but a euphemized taco. Its redemption? Crispy fried flat

— Derek Prater
I have a strong suspicion that you have to be drunk for a true chalupa experience, but I went ahead and tried it anyway. For the first bite, I didn't add any Taco Bell Fire Border Sauce so I could get a pure feel for the Baja Chalupa. The Baja sauce is strangely reminiscent of a
Whopper's special sauce
whopper's special sauce with a just a touch of jalapeno pepper. I decided to add one fire sauce packet for a more authentic Mexican taste. Close, but not quite there — so I added two more packets of fire sauce. By the end of the chalupa, I was sucking fire sauce straight from the packets. The best thing about a chai- pa? Its pillowy flatbread soaks up fire sauce nicely.
Commentary
— Chris Borniger
Santa Fe chalupa — 3 Dions
Taco Bell is notorious for using the same essential ingredients in everything it sells — meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and a whole lotta fat. Add the chalupa to that list. The Santa Fe version with ground beef weighs in at a lofty 440 calories and 29 grams of fat, more than the other two styles. Attribute that to the fried shell and a truly intriguing Santa Fe sauce. Taco Bell throws in salsa, and I throw in mild sauce. The multiple sauces and resulting-low viscosity make it difficult to eat the thing without losing its contents. But hey, it's tasty. I don't recommend going to jail for it, though.
*Editor's note: Although our drive-thru order was incorrectly processed by Taco Bell employees, no one was hostage or threatened with bodily harm while conducting research for this review.

Koizler, a communications and Spanish major, didn't have aspirations to be an actor but knew Rite with the Devil was a war movie directed by Ang Lee. And since he'd grown up riding horses and hunting, Koizler's sake the part was right up his alley.
As dialect and dialogue coach, Meier worked with the 11 principal actors via audiotape and phone calls a month before shooting. Two weeks before, he started working with the actors every day. By the end of the six months of filming, Meier had worked with all 70 speaking roles.

Cavizel originally didn't want to do another movie since he'd just returned from shooting *The Thin Red Line* in Guadalajara, for six months. But when he read the script, he liked the character of Black John. "He's just evil for evil's sake," Cavizel said. "The guy needed to believe in what he doing. No matter who they are — Al Capone or Adolf Hitler— they believe that they are doing the right thing. I wanted that to bring that to this character."

The one downside to the movie is that the climactic Quantrill's Raid scene, where Lawrence is burned by BUSHwhackers and virtually every living Lawrence man is murdered, doesn't match the violent pitch of earlier shootouts and later moments of tension. It is during this scene, however, where you can see the University's own Jake Kozlowski to a fine job of killing a Lawrence resident as the Bushwhacker listed as "Lawrence rider" in the credits.

Lee wisely places Rodal and Holt inside a diner eating a surreal breakfast of coffee and eggs for the duration of the massacre. Inside the diner, the scope of the movie can shift from the historical epic back to the personal development of these two characters, where the true strength of this movie lies. Besides the narrative, special must be made of Lee's attention to details of the era and setting. In the film, you can dry grass crumple underfoot, the popping sounds of guns in the distance, the rasp of rifle close and the rasp of the war-era crack pages of Civil War-era books.
Lee also knows where to look to capture the beauty of the countryside.
Many shots focus upward on the trees of Missouri, evoking transitions in time by showing the seasonal transformation of the land scape.
Visually breathtaking and locally considered to be an accurate film portrayal of the Missouri-Kansas border war, *Ride with the Devil* is a ride worth taking.

Kansas can't dig enough 'Cat hits in close match
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas came remarkably close to beating its instate rival.
The Jayhawks played the match of their lives last night against No.18 Kansas State at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center, winning two of the first three games and then holding a 6-0 lead in the fourth game.
But that wasn't a big enough cushion.
Kansas dropped a heart-breaking 3-2 loss to K-State, dampening its NCAA
to K-State, damper Tournament hopes and dropping its record to 17-12 overall and 8-10 in the Big 12 Conference. "It hurts," Kansas junior outside hitter Amy Myatt said. "It's hard to get so far ahead

and let that lead slip away. We just had to make more plays."
The match itself was filled with big plays. A record crowd of 1,300 fans, including hundreds of K-State followers, watched as both the Jayhawks and Wildcats stacked together long rallies, impossible dig combinations and smoke-filled kills.
The match ended when K-State won a rally-scoring fifth-game, 15-11, capped by a kill from outside hitter Liz Wegner. "I asked them to play aggressive and to play hard," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "And for the most part that's what our team did."
The problem was that K-State was playing just as aggressively and just as hard.
The Jayhawks out-hit the Wildcats, had more service aces, more blocks and were almost equal on digs. In fact, Kansas handled almost every K-State throw at it
The only thing that Kansas couldn't handle was K-State's Dawn Cady, who turned out to be a Jayhawk killer.
Cady, a senior outside hitter, had 39 kills for the night, which was one away from tying a Big 12 Conference five-game record. Cady also had 87 total attacks, a .310 hitting percentage and a match-high 23 digs.
"She's so physically fit that she seems to get stronger as the match goes on," Bechard said. "She's a great competitor."
A handful of Jayhawks turned out to be great competitors, too. Middle blocker Amanda Reves pounded 19 kills to go along with a career-high 16 digs, and outside hitter Danielle Geronymo chipped in 13 kills and also set a career-high 16 digs. Myatt and outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht also registered double-digit kill totals, 18 and 16 respectively.
Even those performances couldn't help the Jayhawks, who still were searching for answers after the match.
"K-State just played better than we did," Reves said. "I had four years to win a match like this, and it didn't happen."
The Jayhawks will be in action again on Wednesday, when they travel to Ames, Iowa, for a 7 p.m. showdown against the Iowa State Cyclones.

It was a tale of two locker rooms, and both had different onitives.
"They come at you in waves," Fairfield coach Tim O'Toole said. "They are very deep, they are very talented, and they play incredibly well together. This is as good as college basketball gets."

play.
"We beat those guys on talent, and that's not how we should've beaten them," junior forward Luke Axtell said.
"We weren't playing smart, but we were hustling. We just weren't doing what we were supposed to do."
Using pressure defense, forcing turnovers and wearing down Fairfield, the Jayhawks won their ninth-straight season opener.
Kansas shot 53 percent from the

and, out-rebounded the Stags 53-32 and forced 30 turnovers. In doing all that, the 'Hawks committed 22 turnovers and sank only 15 of 28 free-throw attempts.
"It was very frustrating out there tonight," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "Having 22 turnovers is something we can't do and be the kind of basketball team we want to be. And if you look at some of the stats it should be maybe a 50 or 60-point margin. But I was really impressed with the effort of the Fairfield kids. One time Nick Bradford dove on the floor for a loose ball, but the majority of the time they were the ones going after the loose balls."
Kansas' offense continued to appear out of sync. Fairfield spent the majority of the time in a zone defense, which made the Jayhawks find open areas and shoot. Finding the open area, however, created fits and led to turnovers because Williams said that the Jayhawks have not practiced against zone offenses.

Commentary
The Kansas football team will be good next year. Especially on offense.
Toughest player Michael Chandler leaves Jayhawks
Quarterback Dylen Smith will return to lead a powerful offense that will include receivers Harrison Hill, Termaine Fulton and Byron Gasaway. Running back David Winbush and fullback Moran Norris both have potential to run for 1,000 yards, and Henri Childs is dangerous as a running back and punt returner.
But there will be one part of that offense that will be missing next fall. That is wide receiver M i c h a e l Chandler.

His run of bad luck started on Feb. 27 when three screwballs broke into his home and shot him in the groin area. And then, to make matters worse, he missed spring drills after undergoing surgery to repair ligament damage in his left ankle.
But Chandler overcame both injuries, and he began the 1999 season as the most experienced receiver for the Jayhawks. He had a stellar junior season, a year that included his first career touchdown catch against Kansas State.
His senior year began with a bang. Against Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., Chandler caught four passes for 38 yards, but the big one was the 14-yard snare late in the first half from Zac Wegner that resulted in a touchdown.
But tragedy hit Chandler again. Before the Jayhawks' 71-14 thrashing of California State Northridge, Chandler's mother died. But he still played against the Matadors, and dedicated his 6-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter to his mother.
Through it all, Chandler had a great senior season. He led the Jayhawks in receiving yards five times this season, and he led the team in total receptions with 36. He also tied Hill for the most touchdown grabs on the team with four.
Of those four, his 77-yard catch, turn and scamper in the fourth quarter against Nebraska, which tied the game at 17 and sent the fans and Allen into ecstasy, was the highlight of the season for the offense.
Then on Saturday, his last game ever in a Jayhawks' uniform, Chandler again was the top receiver, leading Kansas in catches with five and yards with 54. One of those catches came from fellow senior Zac Wegner, and if only that had been for a touchdown Chandler would have had a complete Saturday, especially given the 31-28 Jayhawk win.
Chandler wasn't the fastest on the team, or even the best wide receiver the Jayhawks had this year, but he was solid every game, and more importantly, well-respected. He was named co-captain, along with fellow seniors Zac Wegner and John Williams and junior Tim Bowers, prior to the start of the season.
He also was named the toughest player on the team, and given what he went through, I agree 100 percent.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is an 8.
Your life gets a lot easier, starting now, and it'll be a lot more fun, too. You'll have opportunities to travel, once especially you figure out where you'll get the money. Ask somebody who owes it to you, for starters.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You're a little stronger than usual, so push for something you want. How about a little extra spending cash? Refinance the house, for example, and pay off a few bills. You could improve your current situation, but only if you persevere. Be bold.
Gemini : Today is a 7.
Anticipate change and plan for it. First, finalize an old project to get it out of the way. Do something that's going to save you the most money. Remember to be careful about what you say — and what you don't say, too.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You and your friends could make some good decisions about what needs to be done next. Stop talking and take action. You're getting into unfamiliar territory, but that's OK. You're adaptable. Talk them into trying something new.
Leo: Today is a 6.
You get luckier in love, starting now. You'll find it easier to win at games, too. That's the coming theme, but it may not be here yet. Make work your first priority. Relax later, like tomorrow.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
It's about time for you to fix things up at home. In order to do that, you may have to make a big mess first. That may be why you've put it off. Well, you may not be able to do that much longer.
During the next few weeks, you'll discover interesting things. You may solve a mystery that's haunted you for years. Think about the questions that you want to ask, but wait until tomorrow to ask them.
Libra: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Make a decision involving your partner soon. That will clear your head, so you can move on to other topics. Shake the hand or sign the papers, and get that out of the way. Having a good, solid person on your side will minimize your risk.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You're in line for some big changes, mostly in your favor. You're the whistle-blower. You'll find out interesting information, so use it wisely. Chances like this don't come often. Take your time and do it right.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
Your hopes, dreams and fears will be activated for the next few weeks. Luckily you have a good sense of humor. You might want to team up with another person who brings out that side of your character. It's always easy to tackle tough assignments with humor.
Pisces: Today is a 7.

You're going through a transitional phase. You've had it pretty rough during the past few weeks. You've come through that, and now you'll get a break. All of a sudden, you have a whole team on your side. Think about it and figure out what to do next.
男女
Focus your attention. Study something that will help you advance your career. You'll find it's easy to do that, in some ways, during the next few weeks. In other ways, it'll be quite difficult. Figure out where you're going, first.

Luckily, Kingsbury had more bullets. Kingsbury threw for 259 yards and three touchdowns, including the deciding one, as Texas Tech defeated Oklahoma 38-28 Saturday.
The win served as Spike Dykes' farewell as Texas Tech coach. He announced his retirement immediately after the game.
With 7:20 left in the third quarter, and Oklahoma leading 21-16, Tech's Kyle Shipley rammed into quarterback Josh Heupel at the Sooner's 25 and the ball went bouncing backward.
Several players on both teams tried to pounce on the ball, until Tech's Kevin Curtis finally recovered it at the Oklahoma 1. A quarterback sneak by Kingsbury gave Tech a 24-21 lead with 4:39 left in the quarter.
OXFORD, Miss. — Quincy Carter threw for 349 yards and Hap Hines kicked four field goals to lead No. 21 Georgia to a 20-17 victory against No. 16 Mississippi on Saturday.
Georgia (7-3, 5-3, Southeastern Conference) controlled most of the game but had to turn to Hines when they got close to the goal. His 48-yarder for the winning points came with 5:24 left.
Bulldogs beat Rebels with four field goals
The Bultdogs rolled up 456 yards of offense to 316 for the Rebels (7-3, 4-3), and had the ball nearly twice as long (39:30 to 20:24).
Carter completed 26 of 41 passes.
His one touchdown came on 4th-and-goal from the Ole Miss 3 when he hit Terrence Edwards for the score.
Carter then threw a 2-point conversion pass to Michael Grey tying the game at 17-17 with 8:25 left.
Hines also hit from 51, 27 and 23 yards, tying a school record for field goals in a game.

Hecklers taunt player by booing, chanting
OAKLAND, Calif. — The anger and bitterness from Latrell Sprewell's last meeting with P.J. Carlesimo surfaced again two years later. And Sprewel wouldn't even meet his former coach halfway.
Carlesimo had expressed hopes of shaking hands with Sprewell during pregame introductions, but Sprewell stayed by the New York Knicks basket, and the Golden State Warriors coach was left standing by himself at mid court, before finally returning to the bench.
Sprewell took the game's first shot and missed badly, with one fan yelling "Nice shot, Spree!" Fans booed each time Sprewell touched the ball.
Before the game, Sprewell was greeted by cheers, applause and
chants of "Spreel, Spreel" upon taking the floor Saturday night for pregame warmups. But he ignored a child who sought his autograph by dangling his old Golden State Warriors Jersey over a railing.
Sprewell, facing Carlosimo for the first time since choking the Warriors coach in a fit rage at a team practice, stopped taking his practice shots for a moment, turned toward the heckler and told the fan to shut up and used an expletive.

Davenport dominates Hingis in title rematch
NEW YORK — Lindsay Davenport played her game to perfection Sunday, dominating the world's No. 1 player winning the season-ending Chase Championships.
Taking charge from the opening stroke, Davenport overpowered Martina Hingis 6-4, 6-2 to reverse the outcome of last year's Chase Championships title match between the same players.

Sloppy play doesn't keep Jayhawks from winning
Continued from page 1B
"We have worked zero on a zone offense," he said.
What they had worked on in practice, such as bounce passes and fundamentals. Williams said he did not see.
"I'm a perfectionist, and I want us to do the things we do in practice, and right now we're not doing that," he said.
There were several bright spots in an overall frustrating game for the Jayhawks. Junior Kenny Gregory continued to sizzle like he had in the preseason, lightup up the Stags for a game-
high 19 points and ripping down eight rebounds. Bradford chipped in 13 points in six of-seven shooting and dished out a team-high six assists. Luke Axtell got on track from the outside, knocking in his first three-pointer as a Jayhawk with 11:41 left.
And in their first official game, the freshman continued to shine.
Stealing the first-half show, Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and Drew Gooden posted solid numbers and played significant minutes.
Collison, who found out that he would start at power forward shortly before
tipoff, scored 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
Hinrich, who saw his minutes increase when sophomore Jeff Boschese slightly sprained his right ankle, finished with eight points and five assists.
And Gooden, who was the first man to jump off of the Kansas bench, scored 11 points, grabbed five rebounds and swatted two shots, all while playing to the crowd with his dunking, passing and arm-waving.
Williams said the sloppy play was something he had been afraid of because of the competition the
Jayhawks faced in the preseason but that he would take the win and work on improving the team.
"It wasn't the prettiest thing I've looked at to say the least," Williams said. "But I told the guys in the locker room, it's a 'W' and we've got to understand that, but we've got to get a heck of a lot better."
Kansas' next game will be at 11 p.m. Thursday against the Georgia Bulldogs at the Great Alaska Shootout in Anchorage, Alaska.

Jayhawks wins tough physical game in debut
By Melinda Weaver
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
HOUSTON — It was not spectacular, but it was still a victory.
Fifty-eight total fouls kept the Kansas women's basketball season from establishing a consistent flow in a 70-56 win against Houston at Hofheinz Pavilion Saturday night.
"It was a very Kansas coach Mari an n Washington said. "It was very difficult to get into a rhythm. I guess you can learn from the wins as well as losses. We finally pulled this one out."
physical game."
Kansas started slow, and Houston was able to keep the score within two points for most of the first half.
Johnson: Recorded third career double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds
LAST NAME
"They are a very up-tempo team and played very aggressive defense," said senior shooting guard Suzi Raymant. "They like to run the ball a lot, but I think we did a good job of stopping them. I don't think they scored any points on us off the fast break, which saves a lot for our defense."
With 5:01 left in the first half, Kansas captured a five-point lead, and began to stretch its it, led by Raymant, who scored 14 of her game-high 16 points in the first half.
At haftime, the Jayhawks were ahead by 12 points, 39-27.
Though Kansas spent most of the second half in foul trouble, allowing Houston to score 20 of its 56 points from the free throw line, Houston was never able to pull closer than nine points.
With 13:23 left in the second half, both of Kansas' top scorers, Raymant and senior forward Lynn Pride, had to

leave the game with four fouls. Junior forward Jaclyn Johnson followed with 10:51 left
Pride fouled out with 4:43 left, and Johnson fouled out three minutes later, but other players stepped up.
Johnson and junior forward Brooke Reves each recorded their third career double-double performances. Johnson scored 10 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, and Reves scored 13 points and pulled down 12 rebounds.
The defense held Houston to 29 percent shooting, and the Jayhawks outbounded the Cougars 59-34.
"We did a great job off the boards, which means we're being very aggressive." Washington said. "I'm very pleased with that, especially against a team that one of their biggest strengths has been rebounding."
In their regular season debut of the triple-post offense, the Jayhawks scored 70 points but only shot 39 percent and committed 25 turnovers.
"We did well when we actually ran our offense," Raymant said. "Otherwise, we were just helper-skelter and made a lot of mistakes. We need to stop shooting the first shot and take more time on our offense. We need to be confident with our offense and use it more."
From Houston, the Jayhawks will embark on a week-long journey to Alaska to play in the Great Alaska Shootout. Washington said that there were a few improvements to make, but that she was pleased with her team's effort.
"We just need to continue to work on trying to stay in our offense." Washington said. "We have to try to stay disciplined. Houston took us out of our game and put us into theirs. We have to work on consistently staying in our game."

Even after loss Hawks hoping for tournament
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
After a devastating five-game loss to in-state rival No. 18 Kansas State last night at Horejsi Family Athletics Center, the Kansas volleyball team now finds itself on the outside looking in.
The Jayhawks entered last night needing to win their last three matches of the season to most likely earn an NCAA tournament berth, something that Kansas has never done before. With the loss, its chances look bleak but not out of the picture.
"It doesn't help us," senior middle blocker Amanda Revessaid said. "A win is a win, a loss is a loss. A bubble chance is how they call it. It's someone else's decision now."
The loss overshadowed an all-around team effort, but in the end it was not enough.
While the door may be closing, it's not shut just yet. The Jayhawks have two games remaining in the regular season. They play at Iowa State, 2-22 overall, on Wednesday and return home to battle No. 21 Colorado on Saturday. If Kansas is able to regroup and win its last two games, then its solid performance against Kansas State may be enough to gain a tournament berth. This is the mindset Kansas will have to maintain.
"We're all right, and the season's not over," senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht said. "Realistically speaking, if we win our next two matches, then we still have a chance, and that's all I'm focused on."
The Jayhawks currently stand 17-12 overall, 8-10 in the Big 12 Conference. Coach Ray Bechard said that if the team finishes even in the conference,
ANGELS 1

then it should still have a chance. Regardless, the loss still stings, and he said it's one Kansas let slip away.
"It hurts a lot," Bechard said. "I told the team before we started that if we get to 10-10 in the conference and 19-12 overall then you've got a chance, but there's a highly ranked team that we just let off the hook."
Albrecht said the team is playing its

best volleyball of the season right now. That wasn't enough to beat the Wildcats, but Bechard said if Kansas wins its last two games, then it should turn some heads and improve its chances in the process.
"We've got to win at Iowa State and here against Colorado, but it's not out of the question," Bechard said. "If we do, then) I think we'd give them something to think about."

Freshmen see court time in 97-71 Kansas victory
By Shawn Hutchinson
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Drew Gooden was the one who finally broke the silence.
Gooden, a 6-foot-9 forward, went on record as the first of Kansas' vaunted freshmen class to speak to the media. Coach Roy Williams prohibited Gooden and the other Kansas freshmen from interviews until after the first regular-season game.
Following No. 11 Kansas' 97-71 season-opening victory against Fairfield Friday night in Allen Fieldhouse, Gooden summed up the experience.
"It was what I expected," he said.
The young Jayhawks' play hovered close to expectants all night long.
Gooden had 11 points, Nick Collison had 10, and Kirk Hinrich, playing most of the second half for sophomore guard Jeff Boschee, who left the game with a sprained right ankle, had eight points and five assists. The freshmen shot a combined 13-for-25 from the field and played 64 minutes.
"They're good," Fairfield coach Tim O'Toole said. "When you look at it, and you're trying to play Kansas, you're going to hope, if anything, that the freshmen are going to take shots, because those are the guys that hopefully miss."
Gooden dumbfounded the Stags by displaying a variety of moves in the post. He showed off a right-handed jump hook shot,

showcased his passing skills with an under- handed assist to Nick Bradford, and slammed a dunk over Fairfield's Jeremy Loan.
"It's a new atmosphere coming out here and being a freshman and playing in this intensity," Gooden said. "It's a big change, and I'm trying to have a good time and trying to adapt."
Collison has adapted so well that he received the news right before the game that he was going to start.
"It really wasn't a big deal," he said. "We're so deep that just because you're out there at the beginning of the game doesn't mean you're going to play more."
Collison snagged a team-high nine rebounds, and with the exception of a first- half air ball at the free-throw line, he said he played well.
"I've never done that in my entire life," said Collison, referring to the free-throw that died an inch before the rim. "I wasn't really nervous. I'm just out there playing hard."
Hinrich's play didn't show much nervousness, either. The 6-3 guard led the freshmen with four turnovers but displayed confidence as the team's floor general. Hinrich logged 19 minutes and shot four-for-six from the floor.
"I try to work hard every day," Hinrich said. "I think the upperclassmen respect our ability, but we're still freshmen and every day is a learning experience."

Earl rests knee, misses game
By Matt Tait

But when practice began in October, the injuries came back.
"In preseason, Lester's knee did

Earl: Said he can jump but is limited running and cutting
Williams opted to hold
earl out of Friday's season-opening victory against Fairfield so he could rest his knee, which had a flare-up of tendinitis a couple of weeks ago.
For now, Earl's future remains uncertain.
"I can go out and jump 37 to 38 inches with my vertical — easy," Earl said. "But as far as the running and cutting, I limited."
Williams said that Earl's injury hasn't affected the team as much as it would have last year because
.the Jayhawks have more depth this year.
Earl, in street clothes Friday night, still participated in the pregame introductions and cheered for his teammates from the bench. And while Earl has not been able to help the 'Hawks on the court much, freshman forward Drew Gooden said that Earl's influence off the court has been great.
"Les is kind of like my mentor on this team." Gooden said. "Sometimes he helps me out with where I need to be or what I need to do on the court."
During Friday's game another Jayhawk was injured. In the second half, point guard Jeff Boschee slightly sprained his right ankle.
Williams said that Boschee could have continued in the game, but he chose to keep the sophomore point guard out of the game for the final 15 minutes. It was not worth the risk of Boschee further injuring his ankle, Williams said. Boschee is expected to be back in practice this week.
Luke Axtell, who broke a bone in his left, non-shooting hand two weeks into practice, played 16 minutes Friday and is closer to 100 percent.
"Luke's anxious to get in game shape," Williams said. "He's not right now, but he's getting some work.".

Seniors go out with ceremony, victory
Changes dominate their Kansas careers
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Most of Kansas' seniors finished their last season of Jayhawk football the same way they wrapped up their first — with a win.
In 1995, when many in the Jayhawks' departing senior class were sitting on the sidelines as redshirts, Kansas closed the season with a 51-30 victory against UCLA in the Aloha Bowl. On Saturday, the remaining members of that team helped Kansas beat Iowa State 31-28.
"We came in strong with a winning season," said senior offensive lineman Chris Enneking about the Aloha Bowl. "To be able to finish out like that — with a victory — was great."
Granted, the atmosphere was different at the Aloha Bowl than it was on Saturday at a half-empty Memorial Stadium, but the differences in the magnitudes of both games are indicative of the changes this senior class has witnessed.
The five-year members of the Jayhawks have been through two coaches, Glen Mason and Terry Allen, and five starting quarterbacks, Mark Williams, Ben Rutz, Matt Johner, Zac Wegner and Dylen Smith. The seniors have seen two different running tracks, scoreboards, press boxes, concourses at Memorial Stadium — and winning and losing seasons.
Despite the changes, seniors such as fullback Tyrus Fontenot can look back on their Kansas careers and remember them fondly.
"I don't have anything but good memories," said Fontenot, who is one term paper away from receiving his degree.
The 18 Jayhawk seniors were honored in a pregame ceremony Saturday
in which they were each introduced to the crowd and ran onto the field to present a rose to their parents. The ceremony left many seniors overwhelmed and many parents in tears.
"I was all right until I got up close to my parents, then I kind of got teared up," senior quarterback Zac Wegner said. "My dad had his sunglasses on and I couldn't see his eyes, but I saw my mom crying, and I was like, 'Wow. It's over.'"
Fontenot said the ceremony made it hard for him to concentrate on the game at hand.
"I was trying to think about the game, and trying to focus my attention on my parents, too," Fontenot said. "I really can't explain the feeling, but it felt real good having them out on the field. I think my mother was really happy to be able to see my last game."
For senior wide receiver Michael Chandler, seeing his family on the field was only one of Saturday's high points. He said that Wegner's appearance in the game was also a thrill.
"I respect Zac more than anyone else on the team," said Chandler, who was shot in the groin when three assailants forced their way into his Lawrence apartment last February and who delivered the eulogy at his mother's funeral in September. "I think I was more excited to see him play than he was."
Wegner was excited to see game action on Saturday, but he also wished it wasn't because of an injury. Wegner entered the game because Smith had the wind knocked out of him by Cyclone Ryan Sloth in the third quarter. Wegner led the Jayhawks to the Iowa State 22-yard line, but was sacked on the third down, and Kansas was forced to punt.
"I really don't think it's set in yet that it's my last game. It's definitely sad," Wegner said. "Five years. Has it really been that long?"

been having success forcing his man back off the line. So the coaching staff had Nesmith stand behind Dwyer for the first time all game, and it paid off handsomely.
"Nate did a good job pushing his man back," Nesmith said. "I just got a good jump with some space to get up in the zone it hit off my fingertips and then it hit off the top of my helmet."
Kansas benefited from not only the blocked field goal attempt and four Cyclone turnovers but also from a favorable ruling on a touchdown by Smith. With 17 seconds left in the third quarter, Smith scrambled for a 17-yard touchdown but fumbled the ball when he entered the end zone. Officials ruled that Smith fumbled after he scored, but video replays and photographs indicated that he might have lost control of the ball before he crossed the goal line.
Kansas would score another touchdown in the fourth quarter on a Moran Norris 1-yard run, but Iowa State would answer, making the score 28-21. The 'Hawks drove again, and Joe Garcia kicked a 29-yard field goal, giving them a 31-21 lead
with just under five minutes to play.
But Iowa State quarterback Sage Rosenthal — who torched the Kansas secondary, throwing for a career-high 332 yards and three touchdowns — tried his best John Elway impression. He drove the Cyclones 60 yards in 11 plays, completing pass after pass against Kansas' soft zone defense.
An 11-yard touchdown pass pulled Iowa State to within three points, and then the Cyclones lined up for an onside kick.
Enter Nesmith and his newfound use of his hands. He recovered the onside kick, which may have sealed the win, but when running back Norris fumbled one play later, Iowa State had a shot.
Suddenly Kansas was on the verge of blowing a game it never trailed.
"We were a little worried, but I thought OK. OK, Clint, thank you."
"be OK," center Chris Ennekeing said. Iowa Drive to the Kansas 17-yard line and then lined up for a 35-yard field goal that would have tied the game and send it into overtime, but the outstretched arms of Nesmith kept that from happening.
"I came in and made a play on the hands team," Nesmisht said. "I figured the game was over after that but they didn't quit."
Seminoles' opponent undetermined
By Richard Rosenblatt AP Football Writer
AP Football Writer
The ride to the national championship still has three stops before it winds up in New Orleans: Blacksburg, Va., Boulder, Colo., and San Antonio.
Top-ranked Florida State punched its ticket to the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4 with Saturday's 30-23 victory against Florida in The Swamp and solved half of the national title puzzle.
"I really don't know and really don't care who we play." Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden said after his team survived the Gators and a record crowd of 85,747 at the Swamp. "We'll sit back and wait and see."
If Bowden doesn't know who he has to prepare for, he's not alone. Right now, No. 2 Virginia Tech looks like the opponent if it can beat No. 22 Boston College in Blacksburg on Friday.
The Hokies, 10-0, crushed Temple 62-7 on Saturday, but even a win against the surprising Eagles, 8-2, won't guarantee a title showdown against Florida State, 11-0.
Whv?
The Bowl Championship Series standings, that's why.
Commentary
Expect Florida State and Virginia Tech to be ranked No. 1 and No. 2 again when the BCS standings are released Monday, with Nebraska, 9-1, third and inching closer to the Hokies after advancing to No. 3 in the AP media poll and the USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll.
Should the Cornhuskers defeat Colorado, 6-4, on Friday in Boulder, then avenge their only loss by beating No. 7 Texas, 9-2, in the Big 12 Conference title game in San Antonio on Dec. 4, it'll be up to the computer to decide whether the Hokies or 'Huskers get the ticket to New Orleans.
"I'm not sure we can control our own destiny," Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said. "You check those computers lately? We can't worry about the BCS. We just go out and play."
And what if Virginia Tech and Nebraska both lose? Then Florida State's opponent is anybody's guess, with the Southeastern Conference champ — either Alabama or Florida — Tennessee, Texas and even Wisconsin all in the running.
In last year's inaugural season using the BCS standings, a combination of
polls, computers and strength-of-schedule, a once-beaten Florida State sneaked into the title game against unbeaten Tennessee when two other unbeaten teams — UCLA and Kansas State — lost on the final day of the regular-season.
This time, Florida State can relax and let everyone else fight it out: The Seminoles have already earned another chance to add a second national title to the one they won in 1993.
If the Sugar Bowl ends up Seminoles vs. Hokies, the other BCS bowls could look like this:
Orange: Michigan vs. SEC champion (Florida-Alabama winner).
Rose: Stanford vs. Wisconsin
Fiesta: Tennessee vs. Big 12 Conference champion (Nebraska-Texas winner).
Other New Year's Day match-ups could feature Michigan State vs. Alabama-Florida loser in the Citrus; Arkansas vs. Kansas State or Texas in the Cotton; Penn State vs. Mississippi-Mississippi State winner in the Outback; and Miami vs. Georgia Tech in the Gator.
In bowl chatter, look for Hawaii and Oregon State in the O'ahu Bowl, a matchup of two new coaches who turned their teams around — June Jones at Hawaii vs. Dennis Erickson at Oregon State.

'Cats rebound from loss, rout Missouri 66-0
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Mark Simoneau didn't want to go to the locker room. He wanted to stay in front of the home crowd as long as possible.
So, for a full 10 minutes after No. 9 Kansas State's 66-0 rout of Missouri on Saturday, a victory that kept the Wildcats' slim Big 12 Conference title game hopes alive, the senior linebacker made his way around KSU Stadium — hugging and slapping
hands with some fans.
Stadium -- hugging and slapping hands with some fans.

"It was awesome."
Simoneau said.
"There's really no way to describe it. It was just a really special time."
The Wildcats (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) couldn't have written a more dominating finish to their regular season or a more dishheartening one to Missouri's.
Jonathan Beasley threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, all before the midpoint of the second quarter.
Cornerback Dyshod Carter scored twice. Frank Murphy ran for two touchdowns, his first scores since K-State's 35-17 Oct. 2 victory against Texas. Adrian Beard recovered a blocked punt for the Wildcats' final score.
K-State still could win the North Division if Colorado upsets Nebraska Friday.
Missouri (4-7, 1-7) committed six turnovers and was shut out for the third time in five games.
"This is probably the worst game that I have ever been associated with," Coach Larry Smith said. "We've just got to pick up the pieces. We all lost — coaches and players. I am the head coach and I take full responsibility."
The Wildcats scored on their first five possessions — plus one of Missouri's — and led 35-0 after one quarter and 42-0 at the half. Their 35 first-quarter points set a school record for a period, breaking the record of 34 set last year in the second quarter against Northern Illinois.
K. State tied a school record with its fourth nine-touchdown game. Jamie Rheem hit all nine of his extra point tries, tying Martin Gramatica's single-game record against Indiana State in 1998.
TCU back breaks two records
Division I rushing mark had been set by Sands of Kansas
The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — LaDainian Tomlinson may be running into contention for next year's Heisman Trophy.
Tomlinson broke the NCAA Division I A rushing record, gained 406 yards and scored six touchdowns Saturday in TCU's 52-94 victory over Texas-El Paso.
Tomlinson carried 43 times and broke the record held by Tony Sands of Kansas, who rushed for 396 yards on 58 carries against Missouri on Nov. 23, 1991. The junior and first-year starter also set a single-season rushing record for the Horned Frogs with one game to play.
"All the credit goes to the offensive line," Tomlinson said. "They've done a great job of creating holes all season."
Touchdown runs of 70 and 63 yards on consecutive carries in the fourth quarter got Tomlinson close to the record. So
even with a 45-24 lead, TCU (6-4, 4-2 Western Athletic Conference) sent him back out for its final drive of the game, and he broke the 400-yard barrier with a 7-yard carry.
"If he's so close to something like that, you've got to let him finish it off," said TCU coach Dennis Franchione. "We just wanted to get him his 20 vards."
Tomlinson broke Kenneth Davis' 15 year-old single-season record when he burst through the line and
outran two defensive bat for the 70-yard touch down. Davis rushed for 1,611 yards in 1984, and Tomlinson now has 1,725.
TCU
On his next carry, the first play after a UTEP punt. Tomlinson broke
through the left side, raced 63 yards down the sideline, and cut back toward the middle to avoid being tackled inside the 10. That gave him the single-game school record and moved him within 13 vards of 400.
By beating UTEP (5-7, 3-4), TCU became bowl-eligible and moved within a victory over SMU next week of sharing the WAC
After rushing for 119 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, Tomlinson doubled his efforts. He had 287 rushing yards and four touchdowns in the second half, and touched the ball on 29 of 37 plays before he left the game with the Horned Frogs at the 3.
title.
"After three turnovers, I was a little punchy about what to call in the second half," Franchione said. "The smart thing to do was to give the ball to No. 5."
On the opening possession of the second half, Tomlinson had all seven carries on a 71-yard touchdown drive that put TCU ahead to stay. He got the final 27 yards when he took a pitch left, escaped several tacklers at the line and broke into the open.
After a UTEP punt, Tomlinson was involved in nine of 10 plays on a 58-yard drive, getting the final yard when he spun off the back of the offensive line and sprinted to the outside.
TCU went 76 yards on its next drive, Tomlinson with carries of 1 and 5 yards before breaking the 70-yarder.
"Tomlinson's runs were unbelievable, UTEP coach Charlie Bailey said. "There was nobody near him."

The Associated Press
GAINESVILLE. Fla. — When the final pass fell incomplete in the end zone, and No. 1 Florida State had locked up yet another chance at a national title, the Seminoles raced to midfield for their rendition of the Swamp Stomp.
"If you can win in here In The Swamp," Florida State's Peter Warrick said, "that's the best way to prove you can win a national championship. We are a great team."
Warrick ran for one touchdown and set up the clinching score with a 38-yard catch, and Sebastian Janikowski kicked three field goals as the Seminoles beat No. 3 Florida 30-23 Saturday before a record crowd at Florida Field.
"Every time Florida and Florida play, it puts someone in the national championship game." Bowden said. "We're just happy we're there."
The win all but clinched a spot for coach Bobby Bowden and the Seminoles (11-0) in the Sugar Bowl, the site of the Bowl Championship Series' national title game on Jan. 4.
The Gators play in the SEC title game on Dec. 4, and a win will send them to either the Orange or Fiesta bowls as the league champion.
Since then, the Seminoles missed two other chances to win it all, losing to Florida in the '97 Sugar Bowl, and dropping a 23-16 decision to Tennessee in the '99 Fiesta Bowl.
Chris Weinke, who missed last year's games against Florida and Tennessee with a neck injury, was 24 of 36 for 263 yards and a touchdown — a 27-yarder to Marvin Minnis with 6:03 left that put the Seminoles ahead 30-16.
The Gators came back, though, with Doug
Johnson throwing a three-yard touchdown pass to Haugabrook to trim the lead to seven points with 3:33 left. But the Seminoles recovered an on-side kick and then held off the Gators' last gasp.
Warrick, who heard chants of "Dillard's," in reference to his shopping mall scam, had a strong game. The wide receiver caught nine passes for 90 yards and ran for 19 yards, including a four-yard touchdown to give FSU a 7-0 first-quarter lead.
Florida needed 71 seconds to take its only lead of the game. First Chandler kicked his third field goal, a 22-yarder, to cut the margin to 13-9. The Seminoles took charge and on third down, and with Florida's defense still setting up, Weinke took the snap and tried to hit Minnis for a big gainer.
Florida State led 13-6 at the half. After scoring on their open drive, the Seminoles moved to the Gators 4 the next two times they had the ball but settled for Janikowski field goals.
But cornerback Bennie Alexander intercepted the pass and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown, putting the Gators ahead 16-13 with 7:39 left in the third period.
After his successful 49-yarder was wiped out by a delay-of-game penalty, Janikowski kicked a 54-yarder to tie the score at 16.
Then came Florida State's big break linebacker Tommy Polley blocked a Florida punt. Six plays later, Jeff Chaney scored from two yards out with 34 seconds left in the third quarter and the Seminoles had the lead for good. 23-16.
Florida nearly tied the score, moving to the Seminoles 8, but after a holding penalty moved the ball back 10 yards, Johnson's third down pass was intercepted at the 2 by free safety Chris Hope. A few plays later, Weinke found Minnis in the right corner of the end zone, and the Seminoles had the win that surely puts them in their second straight national title game.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes, who made a career out of upsetting rivals Texas and Texas A&M on the way to becoming the Red Raiders' winningest coach, announced his retirement after Saturday's 38-28 win against Oklahoma.
Red Raiders' football coach to retire
Dykes: Refires as Texas Tech's win-
ningfootball coach
The announcement came after a week of rumors that Tech already was hunting for a new coach.
"There really wasn't any pres sure put on me," Dykes, 61, said.
The Associated Press
Texas Tech went 6-5 this season and was 82-67-1 under Dykes, who joined the school in 1901.
Dykes offered no specific reason for his retirement, but said, "It was time for a bit of fresh air."
"This is something that I've been thinking about for a long time."
Raiders recently have gained notoriety for playing spoiler to Texas A&M, beating the Aggies this season 21-19 while they were ranked No. 5.

victories this season against Texas A&M, Colorado and Oklahoma, the Red Raiders were upset by Missouri, Oklahoma State and North
Texas, and were embarrassed last week by Texas. Postseason losses like last year's 38-18 beating by Mississippi in the Independence Bowl also spawned a sense among many Texas Tech fans that the team wasn't living up to its potential.
Locally, Dykes was best known for his good-natured coaching style and friendly disposition.
"I think you coach because you love kids," Dykes had said previously. "And if you do that, every day is rewarding. That way you never get your priorities out of perspective."
Freshman leads Virginia Tech Penn State falls against 15th-ranked Michigan St
PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick's fleet feet could have carried him all the way to New Orleans.
Vick, No. 2 Virginia Tech's dazzling freshman quarterback, ran for a season-high 134 yards and two touchdowns and passed for two more as the Hokies allowed a brief early lead by Temple before storming back for a 62-7
How fast is Vick?
"He's just a special player, and I'm glad he's with us," coach Frank Beamer said. "He's faster than the guys chasing him."
The victory clinched at least a share of the Big East Conference championship for the Hokies (10-0.
6-0). More importantly, it bolstered their bid for a berth in the national championship game at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.
VT
With a win against No. 25 Boston College next Friday, they can finish the regular season undefeated for the first time since going 8-0-1 in 1954.
The Hokies can thank Vick for putting them in that position. He burned the Owls' porous defense with touchdown runs of 53 and 75 yards and got out of other jams by using his mobility to buy time outside the pocket.
Virginia Tech hopes their impressive win against Temple (2-8, 2-4) will strengthen their position in the Bowl Championship Series standings, where they are second.
Top-ranked Florida State all but clinched a spot in the Sugar Bowl, beating No. 3 Florida 30-23 Saturday.
The Hokies also avenged a 28-24 loss to Temple last year in Blacksburg when the Owls were a 35-point underdog.
Vick was a one-man wrecking crew against Temple's poor-tackling defense. He completed 7-of-10 passes for 171 yards and two long touchdowns to Andre Davis besides his two
His most impressive score came early in the third quarter. Under pressure in the pocket at his own 25, Vick eluded a couple tackles, reversed field, then raced 75 yards into the end zone giving the Hokies a 34-7 lead.
"Eighty-five to 95 percent of the other quarterbacks would have been sacked. He goes for two long touchdowns," Temple coach
Bobby Wallace said
Andre Kendrick added two rushing scores, and Larry Austin had a 31-yard interception return for the Hokies. Tech outgained Temple in total yardage (511-224) and first downs (20-10).
For the first five minutes at least, the Owls played like they could pull off another unlikely unset.
Off the opening kickoff, Scott led Temple's offense to a surprisingly easy scoring drive. Five plays after finding Jamal Wallace down the sideline for a 62-yard completion to the Tech 15, Marcus Godfrey rushed for a 2-yard score to give Temple a 7-1 lead 3:10 into the game.
On the ensuing drive, Vick got out of trouble in the pocket and dashed 53 yards untouched into the end zone for his first touchdown and tied the score at 7 with 10:49 left in the first quarter.
The Hokies were stopped on their next two drives deep in Temple territory, coming away with only Shayne Graham's field goal at the end of the first quarter.
After Austin's interception return, Vick threw two sloppy passes intercepted by Temple's Kevin Harvey on consecutive possessions, and it looked like the Owls may have another shot for an upset.
It only delayed the inevitable.
Vick found Davis for a 65-year touchdown pass after Harvey missed a tackle with 2:25 left in the first half. The two connected for a 30-yard touchdown that put Tech up 41-7 in the third quarter.

EAST LANSING, Mich. — It took Penn State three weeks to go from No. 2 in the country to No. 4 in the Big Ten Conference.
The 13th-ranked Nittany Lions lost their third-
straight game Saturday, falling to No. 15 Michigan State 35-28 after overcoming a 21-point halftime deficit.
T. J. Duckett ran for four touchdowns for the Spartans (9-2, 6-2). He carried 22 times for 159 yards, including the winning touchdown on an 11-vard run up the middle with 2
S
Penn State trailed 28-7 at the half, but dominated the third quarter, scoring 10 points drawing to within 28-17.
Eddie Drummond caught a 23-yard scoring pass from Kevin Thompson capping a 16-play, 86-yard scoring drive. Travis Forney then kicked a 21-yard field goal.
The Nittany Lions tied the score in the fourth quarter as Drummond caught a 12-yard touchdown pass, and Forney kicked a 30-yard field goal.
Michigan State safety Richard Newsome set up Duckett's winning touchdown, recovering a fumble by John Gilmore on the Penn State 39-yard line.
T. J. Turner made his second interception of the game, which stopped stop Penn State's next drive. But Paul Edinger missed a 38-yard field goal with 37 seconds left that would have put the game away.
But the Nittany Lions couldn't score as the Spartans held on.
"When you play a good football team, you've got to play with heart, but you've got to play with poise," said Penn State coach Joe Paterno. "We had the opportunity to win at the end, but we made a couple of mistakes."

Russian troops set to assault Grozny
The Associated Press
SLEPTSOVSKAYA, Russia More than 5,000 rebels have barricaded themselves in the Chechen capital, braced for a Russian offensive as federal troops closed in after weeks of relentless shelling, military officials said yesterday.
On Chechnya's borders, refugees pushed through wet snow and a damp wind to flee the breakaway republic. Most were on foot, though some crossed in cars sagging with sweaters, pots and blankets.
Russian forces had the capital, Grozny, 80 percent surrounded and were trying to complete the circle by advancing on the south and southwest, a Defense Ministry spokesman in Moscow said Sunday.
In some places, the Russians were as close as 3 miles from the city, said the press center of the Russian command in the northern Caucasus.
The Defense Ministry spokesman said 5,000 to 6,000 militants had taken up positions in Grozny and were preparing for the Russian offensive.
For weeks Russian aircraft have been bombing the city and suspected rebel bases throughout the Caucasus Mountains republic.
Warplanes and helicopter gunships flew 82 missions over Chechnya during the past 24 hours despite poor weather, the Defense Ministry said.
The attacks destroyed apartment buildings in southeast Grozny, an arms depot in a Grozny suburb, oil refineries and fuel stations selling oil stolen
from pipelines from the Caspian Sea, the military command said
"There will be no pauses." Putin said in an interview on national television Saturday night.
Despite mounting criticism from the West, Russia has not scaled back its offensive in Chechnya, and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin ruled out any easing of the intensity of what he called the anti-terrorist operation.
Chechnya has effectively been beyond Moscow's control since Russian forces withdrew in 1996 at the end of a two-year war. Moscow said its latest campaign is aimed at rooting out Islamic militants blamed for terrorist acts in Russia and insists it is targeting rebel fighters, despite claims from human rights groups and Chechens that the civilian toll has been high.
Drought ravages much of United States
Warm, dry weather causing problems for farmers,ranchers
The Associated Press
DALLAS—The calendar says mid-November, but you wouldn't know it by the summery temperatures and lack of rain from Texas to Nebraska, across the South to Georgia and even in Indiana.
Forests are becoming tinderboxes. Ranchers are using up feed that should be reserved for winter. Farmers fear their crops could die.
And there's little relief in sight.
"The prospects of recovering from such a drought are minimal because of the drier-than-normal and warmer-than-normal winter
we're expected to have," said Mark Svoboda, a climatologist with the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. "This drought is made worse by the lingering effects from droughts the last few years."
The dry, mild weather expected this winter is being attributed in part to La Niña, the global weather phenomenon marked by cooler-than-normal water in the eastern Pacific. Moist air from the Pacific is shifting farther north than usual, leaving the South and Westwest drier and warmer than normal.
The Dallas-Forth Worth area has broken its 72-year-old record of 11 consecutive days of 80-degree temperatures in November. Normal highs for this time of year are in the mid 60s.
Oklahoma also has had record highs in the 80s this month. Temperatures at Birmingham, Ala., and Nashville, Tenn., have been in the upper 70s instead of the normal 50s and 60s.
Vsboda said most of Texas, Louisiana and Indiana are in a severe drought. Georgia, Tennessee and most of the Midwest also are in the midst of a drought, with some pockets considered severe.
Missouri averaged less than 8 inches of rainfall from July through October. Normally, it gets 14 or 15 inches for that period, said Pat Guinan, a climatologist with University of Missouri at Columbia.
The drought center monitors conditions with five categories, ranging from abnormally dry to exceptional drought, with severe falling in the middle.
Burials begin; Aggies struggle to cope with loss
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Friends and families began burying their dead Saturday as Texas A&M University struggled to cope with the bonfire collapse that killed 12 people and injured 27.
The Associated Press
About 1,000 people attended the funeral service for Nathan Scott West, a 19-year-old sophomore oceanography major who was killed in the Thursday morning accident.
"Why does tragedy happen to good people who are going about doing good for others?" the Rev. Mark Young said. "We live in a world that is not always fair. To suggest it was Scott's time to leave earth is some kind of cruel joke."
At the end of the service in the Houston suburb of Bellaire, mourners linked arms and sang the Agile fight song.
Questions have begun to resurface about the safety of the annual bonfire, a venerated tradition on the A&M campus for 90 years.
Texas A&M President Ray Bowen has ordered the formation of a task force of engineers and other experts to look into the disaster
A former A&M engineering professor said he tried for years to warn students that the bonfire's design contained perilous flaws.
A&M professor emeritus Louis Thompson said the bonfire pile was flawed because it consisted of a relatively loose bunching of upright logs and because its base was too narrow to hold its looming tower.
"I kept telling them it was dangerous," said Thompson, a civil engineer who retired in 1991 after 25 years. "What's amazing to me is that it went on as long as it did."
More information
The online edition of the Texas A&M student newspaper has updates and photos about the bonfire tragedy and a tribute to the victims.

After 36 years, JFK murder still mysterious
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—Hours after President Kennedy was assassinated, FBI agents reportedly listened to a tape of a phone call that a man identifying himself as Lee Oswald had placed to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City.
They made a startling discovery:
The voice on the tape was not
Oswald's, government records say.
This controversial tape has been a question mark in the assassination investigation since Kennedy was killed. The assassination occurred 36 years ago today, and only now have new details about the tape come to light.
The CIA said years ago that the tapes on which it recorded the call were erased. Documents released in recent years said otherwise. The latest and newest declasified documents offer more evidence that the tapes survived.
The discovery that the voice on the tape was someone other than Oswald was disquieting because the man who impersonated Oswald was
still at large, said John Newman, an ex-military intelligence analyst, author and professor at the University of Maryland.
Oswald was in Mexico City in September and October 1963. During his one-week stay, he contacted the Soviet Embassy and the Cuban consulate, inquiring about visas needed to go to the Soviet Union via Cuba.
It is widely known that the CIA bugged telephones and took surveillance photos at both the embassy and consulate. But the agency maintained that it had routinely erased and reused tapes of the phone intercepts.
Newly declassified documents — some released in the past six months — say that after the president was shot, a Navy plane carried a top-secret package from Mexico City to Dallas and landed there about 3 a.m. CST the day after the murder.
Former FBI Agent Eldon Rudd, later a Republican congressman from Arizona, was aboard the plane.
interview. "I brought the pictures up, (from Mexico) and it was my understanding that it was just pictures."
Documents contradict Rudd's understanding.
"There were no tapes to my knowledge," Rudd said in a telephone
A transcript of a telephone call FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover made to President Johnson just six hours after the plane arrived in Dallas supports the belief that FBI agents listened to a tape that suggested an impersonation.
"We have up here the tape and the photograph of the man who was at the Soviet embassy using Oswald's name," Hoover told Johnson, according to a transcript of that call released in 1993. "That picture and the tape do not correspond to this man's voice, nor to his appearance. In other words, it appears that there is a second person who was at the Soviet embassy down there."
While they would not speculate about the identity of the caller, several assassination researchers privately offered some explanations: Oswald could have been impersonated by a CIA officer who called the
Soviet Embassy simply to fish for details about what Oswald was doing in Mexico City. Or, maybe someone was trying to link Oswald to the KGB's assassination unit before Kennedy's murder.
The CIA's phone intercepts in Mexico City have been an unanswered question in the assassination case for decades, said T. Jeremy Gunn, former director and general counsel of the review board.
"The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin, that he did not have confederates who are still at large." Nicholas Katzenbach, then deputy attorney general, wrote in a memo on Nov. 25, 1963.
He also said two assistant counsels on the Warren Commission, William T. Coleman Jr. and W. David Slawson, told the review board that they had gone to Mexico City and not only read transcripts, but listened to recordings.
"We tried to find the tape," Gunn said of the review board's effort. "We were unsuccessful. We tried to get everything we could, and we end up with question marks."

Threatening calls result in New York man's arrest
By Michael Terry
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Nearly two months after 14 harassing and threatening phone calls were placed to women living in seven different residence and scholarship halls throughout the University, Sean Robert Francis, 21, of Middletown, N.Y., has been arrested and charged.
Francis will be tried in United States District Court in White Plains, New York for violation
States Code, Section 875 (C), transmitting threatening interstate phone calls.
According to a Federal Bureau of Investigation report, Francis had made 75 harassing and threatening phone calls between March and November of this year to women in Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Montana and Oregon.
TRACING THE CALLS:
In the 75 cases, including the 14 at the University, Francis allegedly threatened to rape and kill the victims if they hung up on him.
University of Nebraska
Fifty-three of the calls were traced to two telephone numbers in Middletown, New York, where he lived with his father, stepmother and stepbrother.
According to the FBI report, on Feb. 10, Francis was convicted

of Aggrravated Harassment in the Second Degree and sentenced to three years probation. Francis's sentence stemmed from an incident where he had telephoned two women and threaten to rape and kill them.
Francis now is in West Chester County Jail where he is awaiting bond.
The KU Public Safety Office, which initially investigated the cases at the University, could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Christine Tonkovich, Douglas County District Attorney, said she had called the FBI concerning the status of the case yesterday, but she was not aware that any charges had been filed.
"If charges are filed at the federal level, then our office will not be pursing any additional charges," Tonkovich said. "It's a lot easier for the federal court to deal with the case than it is for us because it involves so many states, and jurisdictional boundaries."

Focus on Rock Chalk Revue
Hard work paid off yesterday for the five pairs that were chosen for the spring show

Disappointment and happiness were in the air last night at Rock Chalk Revue's formal In/Out ceremony in the Kansas Union Ballroom after the participants were announced.
Five of the 12 fraternity/sorority pairs that applied will perform their 25-minute skits complete with costumes, music and backdrops in next spring's performance.

There were screams, hugs and frowns. Some people threw themselves on the floor in relief while others left quickly, fighting back tears.
Julie Merz, Manchester, Mo., junior was in the union for a meeting at the time of the announcement.
"We didn't know what was going on," she said. "People were crying and screaming and acting like it was the end of the world."
Hunter Williams, Clarendon Hills, Ill. sophomore, was in one of the groups that was celebrating.
Williams is a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, which was selected to perform its skit with Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Their group was the fourth of the five groups announced.
"I thought to myself "There's only two left," he said. "All I could do was squeeze the hand next to me harder."
Rock Chalk Revue, a large-scale production that raises money for charity, is an annual tradition at the University of Kansas. Mossberger said last year's show raised about $50,000 for the United Way. Community service also is a large part of the event.
This year's presentation, scheduled for March 9-11 at the Lied Center, will be the Revue's 51st presentation. The theme will be "Out of Focus."
This year, the 12 pairs began planning for their applications at the beginning of September.
The applications, which were presented in the form of notebooks, included descriptive detail about the skit's plot summary, character descriptions, music and script.
Ten judges reviewed the notebooks and conducted interviews last weekend. The judges were University alumni and previous Rock Chalk participants who had no current KU ties.
Although residence halls and scholarship halls had applied in past years, only Greek organizations applied this year.
Mossberger said the ceremony always was emotional because many people came with so much hope and anticipation.
"It's really hard to see someone smiling and beaming when you just want to cry," she said.
Jason Neusel, Chesterfield, Mo., junior and Sigma Nu fraternity member, was in one of the seven groups that were not selected.
"I wouldn't say it's an ill-feeling," he said. "Everyone who got in deserved it. But of course there's disappointment."
The groups will begin daily rehearsals after winter break.
ROCK CHALK REVUE
Sorority and fraternity pairs that will participate in the Rock Chalk Revue:
Delta Gamma and Beta Theta Pi: "Hor-
Delta Gamma and Beta Theta Pi: "Hocus Focus"
Gamma Phi Beta and Delta Upsilon:
"Lindley's Lost Strud"
Koppa Alpha Theta and Phi Delta Theta:
"Cursed"
Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon: "Quit Hogging the Road" Pi Beta Phi and Phi Gamma Delta: "Out of His League"
Mossberger said there was a possibility that in-between acts would be implemented into the production, allowing living organizations that did not apply or were not selected to try-out and possibly perform in the show.

Senate considers use of $380,000 reserve
Money had been saved to handle emergencies
By Chris Borniger
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Pop quiz: You've got hundreds of thousands of dollars in your back pocket. What do you do?
That's the question facing Student Senate as it heads into another semester and explores its budgetary future.
Senate's reserve account, which contains money left from previous fiscal years, has swelled to about $380,000.
The money has been kept in reserve in case of an emergency, such as in 1994 when Senate provided KU on Wheels with $140,000 after the organization depleted its budget before the end of the academic year. Although the account gains interest, the state of Kansas gets that money. At

an interest rate between 4 and 5 percent, the account earns about $20,000 for the state each year, said Korb Maxwell, student body president.
Maxwell said that because Senate didn't get to keep the interest, he didn't see any reason to leave the account untouched any longer, but anything it was used for would have to benefit the entire student body.
"I want to spend some of it, but not rush headfirst into something," he said. "Our primary goal is to serve students. It's their money."
Maxwell said at least $150,000 should be left in the account as a safety net, leaving about $230,000. Because KU on Wheels is repaying its loan from the bailout, he said, even more money would be available.
"With this potential dollar amount, we will have a truly bene- gential project." Maxwell said.
Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator and off-campus senator, said KU on Wheels had developed its own reserve account to avoid the need for another bailout. She said Senate's extra cash

Class allows law students to try cases, help less fortunate
By Amanda Kassei
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Amanda Kaschube
When Diane Watkins, Topeka third-year law student, graduates next spring, she already will have tried several cases in court and will be able to find her way around the Douglas County Courthouse.
Watkins is enrolled in the three-hour Legal Aid Clinic class, which is offered to third-year law students interested in helping those who are less fortunate.
"You help out people that don't have a lot of money for attorneys," she said. "The people have come across hard times and they need help. You feel
good helping them."
Chuck Briscoe, associate clinical law specialist who teaches the class, said it offered students a taste of the real world.
"It's great for students who want to go into practice for themselves because you get familiar with all the processes," he said. "The students deal with the clients directly in the class."
Briscoe said the class was run like a law firm out of Green Hall with three partners, or supervisors, and 23 associates, or students.
"The students are responsible for everything in the case," he said. "We teach them about big concepts early in the semester, and they are free to try cases."
CASES TRIED BY STUDENTS:
Types of cases tried by students enrolled in Legal Aid Clinic class:
Domestic
Divorces, paternity suits, protection from abuse and some adoption cases
Shoplifting, driving with a suspended license, operating under the influence, pedestrian under the influence
Juvenile
Defense of anyone who is younger than 18 and is charged with a criminal offense
Students must be approved by the Kansas Supreme Court as legal interns, which enables them to practice and try cases with supervision.
Briscoe said the work load usually was pretty heavy but worth the effort.
"It's a very time consuming process," he said. "We say they have 10 hours a week for preparation time. They normally have between eight to 15 cases per student at any given time."
The clinic offers free legal services in three areas: domestic, municipal and juvenile cases. Watkins said she was interested in all of the types.
Students are required to take the class for two consecutive semesters, so the clients can get comfortable with
"Divorces have the most paperwork, but municipal cases get done really quickly — so in that respect, I like those," she said.
them.
"It's a good thing to keep the continuity for the clients," Briscoe said. "Washburn University only makes their students take it for one semester. They have to start all over each semester."
The class, which is funded by United Way, is organized through the Douglas County Legal Aid Society.
Watkins said she thought the class should be required for all law students because of its benefits.
"It teaches you how to act in court and how to follow all the rules," she said. "It's like medical school and their rotations -- you learn a lot."

City, county may allow fireworks for holiday
Tonight the Lawrence City Commission will consider allowing Lawrence residents to use fireworks to celebrate New Year's Eve.
City Manager Mike Wildgen said he expected the commission to direct staff to draft an ordinance that would allow residents to possess, store and use fireworks inside city limits during the New Year's holiday.
Permissible times for setting off fireworks probably will be similar to those being considered by the Douglas County Commission, Wildren said.
The Douglas County Commission is considering a resolution that would permit the sale and use of fireworks in the unincorporated parts of the county on Dec. 30-31, 1999, and Jan. 1, 2000.
The Douglas County Commission was expected to approve the resolution yesterday, but deferred the decision until next week.
Wildgen said he expected the county resolution to pass.

Korean Baptist church victim of racial graffiti
MINNEAPOLIS — Vandals defaced the Korean First Baptist Church with racial slurs, swastikas and other graffiti.
The spray-painted messages expressed hatred toward blacks, women and homosexuals, but did not specifically attack Asians. Police were investigating the graffiti, which was discovered Saturday.
"Satan loves all" and "I love rape" were among the messages on the side of the building in northeast Minneapolis, and "I worship Satan" was sprayed on the church van.
Some words were misspelled and pastor Wonho Pi said he suspects that teen-agers were the culprits.
There also were obscure references to the Unabomber and Tourette's syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes abrupt, involuntary body movements and sounds.
Gorilla delivers her baby in front of zoo visitors
WASHINGTON — Mandara, a 17-year-old lowland gorilla, gave birth for the fourth time — in public, in
full view of a surprised crowd on Saturday. Her guardians couldn't be more delighted.
"Gorillas choose to give birth where they feel most comfortable," said Lisa Stevens, curator of the gorilla exhibit at the National Zoo.
"Obviously, Mandara is very used to human visitors."
Mandara is on loan from the Milwaukee County Zoo, and the first-time father, 16-year-old Kuju, belongs to the Brookfield Zoo, near Chicago.
Zoos regularly lend gorillas back and forth to try to ensure a genetically diverse captive population. The practice has worked so well that some animals have been given birth control, though not the gorilla population at the National Zoo.
Cartoonist fights cancer; strip's future uncertain
SANTA ROSA, Calif.
SANTA ROSA, Calif. — "Peanuts" creator Charles M. Schulz is battling cancer, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported Sunday.
The cancer was discovered last Tuesday, when Schulz was rushed to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital to clear a blocked abdominal artery, the artist's wife, Jean Schulz said.
The future is uncertain for "Peanuts," which is distributed to 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries and is the basis of a franchise that collects $1 billion per year.
But new strips chronicling the friendships and foibles of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and Woodstock will continue to appear at least through Jan. 1, 2000, because Schult works more than five weeks ahead of publication.
The 76-year-old Schulz had worked half a day Tuesday when he told employees he didn't feel well. He remained hospitalized as of Saturday night.
IRS agent claims prize from Regis' quiz show
John Carpenter, who went all the way on Friday's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, collected his million-dollar check this morning from Regis Philbin on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee.
NEW YORK — He wanted to be a millionaire. Now, he is.
"I wouldn't dream of it," Carpenter said genially.
"Don't cheat on your income tax," co-host Kathie Lee Gifford told the 31-year-old winner, an Internal Revenue Service agent, "because the whole world knows what you've won."
On the hit ABC quiz show, where Philbin also serves as host, Carpenter had run the gauntlet of 15 double-or-nothing questions, finally picking Richard Nixon as the president who made and appearance on the television series Laugh-In.
"This guy's got ice water in his veins," Philbin marveled on his talk show
Carpenter, who lives in Hamden, Conn., was the first Who Wants to Be a Millionaire contestant to win the top prize. It's the largest one-time cash prize in the history of American television, excluding lotteries, according to ABC.
Man kills 3, injures 2 before taking own life
ANGOLA, Ind. — A man angry at being thrown out of a party in northeastern Indiana returned with a gun early Sunday, killing three people and injuring two others before taking his own life, authorities said.
Among the injured was a Steuben County sheriff's deputy who responded to the 911 call. Deputy John Araque, 31, was hospitalized in fair condition with three gunshot wounds to the hip and pelvis, authorities said.
Police said Kevin R. Noles, 36, of Angola had been kicked out of Fat Boy's, a neighborhood door, and had wandered next door to a bonfire outside an apartment building. When partygoers there escorted him back to the tavern, he threatened to return with a gun, police said.
About 2 a.m., Notes kicked down the apartment door and began shooting, said Sheriff Joel Working. He said Notes apparently did not know the victims.
Roommates Ray Paulding, 56,
and Ronald J. Stevens, 32, were
killed. Juliana M. Schenkel, 25,

Maxwell insists reserve funds will used to benefit all students

should go toward investments with no operating costs.
kreos said worthy projects could include bus shelters, campus phones in every building, klioss for student organizations to distribute information and new computers for the Organizations and Leadership office.
Chris Hess, social welfare senator and Finance committee member, said the money should benefit those who paid their fees into the account.
"It's not Senate's money," he said. "It's money KU students have paid. I'm sure those people would like to see the benefit from it."
The idea of giving some of the money to senators, possibly in the form of a scholarship or award, entered the debate on one of Senate's listservs last week. Senate executives receive a
salary; senators do not.
Hess, who was paid last year as co-director for the Center for Community Outreach, said that wasn't prudent. Senate, he said, is akin to service. "It's a nice idea." Hess said
Maxwell said the money could even be used to improve literacy and student awareness. At the beginning of the semester, he charged the University Affairs Committee to explore a program to distribute several nationally prominent newspapers, such as the New York Times. Penn State University has a similar program.
Maxwell said narrowing down the options would take time; the earliest students could see results, he said, would be by the end of the academic year. Still, he said, he wouldn't approve anything that strictly benefited Senate or organizations. Students, he said, were at the heart of Senate.
"They're our No.1 consideration." Maxwell said.

KU students among trespassing protesters
School of Americas the focus of dispute
By Erin R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students from the University of Kansas stood alongside 12,000 protesters at the School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Ga. last weekend.
About 27 people, including 23 students, went with a Latin American Solidarity group from the University. The group left Friday and returned yesterday.
For the ninth year, a group called School of Americas Watch organized the protest. SOA Watch alleges the school, which is run by the U.S. Army, trains Latin American leaders to undermine democratic efforts in their countries through means that violate human rights.
Erin Harrington, a Frankfort freshman who went with the Latin American Solidarity group, said the trip took about 18 hours each way in two 15-passenger vans.
Harrington said Saturday consisted of singing and speakers who included refugees such as a Colombian journalist.
Part of the protest involved "crossing the line," or trespassing onto the school's property and risking arrest. According to SOA Watch, 5,000 of the
protesters crossed the line Sunday. Harrington said 13 of them were from the KU group.
Holly Worthen, McPherson sophomore, said she crossed the line. She said that, as had happened last year, those who trespassed were placed on buses and driven away from the protest site by police.
Worthing said the trespassers were taken to a baseball field about a mile and a half away. They then walked back to the protest.
"Last year the police approached people to get on the bus," she said. "This year, they waited for us to get on the bus of our own accord."
Matthew Koepe, vice president of Latin American Solidarity, said foreign students faced a dilemma when deciding whether or not to cross the line. He said non-citizens could be deported if they were arrested at the protest.
Koeppe said he had been told it took eight hours to process the 1,000 people who were arrested.
"Now they know everyone is going to cross the line," he said. "I think something bigger needs to be done. I think it does make progress, though, because so many people show up."
Kopep said Latin American Solidarity's money from fund raisers, such as a beans and rice dinner and a party at the Granada, helped pay for about half of the cost of the trip. The trip cost $1,000.

FORT BENNING, Ga.—More than 3,000 protesters, many wearing black robes and white death masks, marched onto Fort Benning on Sunday to protest human rights abuses they say are committed by graduates of the Army's School of the Americas.
Thousands march onto Fort Benning
Fifty-four of the most disruptive demonstrators were briefly detained by military and civilian police, post representative Rich McDowell said. The rest, including actor Martin Sheen, were loaded onto buses and removed from the base.
Many of the protesters carried coffins and crosses bearing the names of victims of violence in Latin America. Sheen made the sign of the cross above a child-sized casket while several other demonstrators lay down on a street pretending to be dead and splattered themselves with red paint.
The Army has not decided whether to press charges against the 54 for trespassing, which is punishable by up to six months in jail, McDowell said.
The Army estimated that about 3,100 of 8,000 demonstrators crossed onto the base while the rest protested outside. The group that organized the protest, School of Americas Watch, said the total number of protesters was closer to 12,000.
The School of the Americas is best
known for its training of Latin American officers who were fighting communist insurgencies. It has long been criticized for human rights abuses later committed in Latin America by some of those graduates.
The annual demonstration commemorates the Nov. 16, 1989, killings in El Salvador of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her young daughter. A United Nations panel found that 19 of the 26 Salvadoran officers involved had been trained at the school.
The Rev. Roy Bourgeois, the priest who has spearheaded the decade-long protest against the school, said he will continue to speak out as long as combat courses are taught there.
"We don't teach democracy from the barrel of a gun," Bourgeois said. "It gives me such joy to see so many people here. There were 10 people 10 years ago, and now there are 10,000."
Army officials say only a small percentage of the school's 60,000 graduates have been linked to human rights abuses.
"When you look at the curriculum of the School of Americas, we teach more human rights courses than any other school in the U.S. Army," said Col. Glenn Weidner, commandant of the school. "Lining people up and shooting them from 3 or 4 meters is not a problem of military training. It's a lack of training."

Building renovation slowed by brick delay
By Clay McCuistion
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The $14 million renovation of Joseph R. Pearson Hall to house the School of Education has hit some snags but is continuing mostly on schedule, according to University officials.
The renovation began late in the 1998 fall semester and was scheduled to finish in June of 2000. Warren Corman, the University's chief architect, said a wait for appropriate bricks for the addition would delay some parts the project for up to two months.
The bricks were scheduled to arrive last April, but the kiln in Nebraska that produced them exploded. They finally came in August, but were a dark reddish color, not the tan-orange shade requested. New, correctly-colored bricks arrived at the beginning of this month.
Renovations to the inside of the 40-year-old hall are continuing, and Corman said the University's contractor — Ferrell Construction of Topeka — is trying its hardest to bring the rest of the construction up to speed.
("Ferrell is) still trying to make the original schedule," Corman said. "We have a really good contractor, and he's trying to make up for the delays."
Of the funds allocated for the project, $6 million is allotted for additional classrooms and an auditorium, and $8 million is going toward a total refurbishing of the building.
According to University Relations, when the project is
completed, the seven-story, 105,000 square-foot building will contain the School of Education in one place for the first time. The school now is shared by Bailey Hall, the Robinson Center and the Dole Human Development Center.
Corman said the delay in getting the bricks mainly affected the addition to the east and west sides of the existing building and may prevent classes from being held there. Office space for the School of Education, however, will be ready.
"We don't anticipate there will be a delay in getting them moving," Corman said. "We could get permission to move them in."
Karen Gallagher, dean of the school, was in meetings throughout yesterday and unavailable for comment on the possible delay.
Todd Cohen of University Relations said there may be extra space in the completed building not used by the school of education.
"I don't think that's been decided, all of what's going to go in there." he said.
More information about the project is available at the school's web site at: www.soe.ukans.edu. The site includes pictures of the construction work in progress.
Joseph R. Pearson hall was built in 1958 and opened in 1959. According to University Relations, the former residence hall was named for a Texas oil man who married 1901 KU graduate Gertrude Sellards Pearson, namesake for a University residence hall.

Students decide how to distribute technology fund
By Nathan Willis writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A new of round of high technology is about to hit the University of Kansas campus.
A student committee has decided how to distribute among the various schools and departments at the University more than $600,000 in funds generated this year by student technology fees.
Individual departments and schools must submit applications for grants to a seven-member student committee that decides how to dole out the money.
Assistant Provost Rich Givens said 49 proposals were submitted this year requesting a total of $1.93 million. From that, the students decided to fund 31 projects with the $614,947 generated by the fee, he said.
"Many of those were not fully funded," Givens said. "They wanted to make sure that the parts of the proposals that in their view had the most impact were funded. They didn't want to pay for anything that they felt should be covered by University money or any infrastructure costs."
Projects that received funding included new equipment to go in the addition to Murphy Hall now under construction and new equipment for Joseph R. Pearson Hall, which is undergoing renovation in preparation for the School of Education's move there next fall. Also included was money for several computer labs and video equipment.
"It's much safer and much more efficient than the gas-fired floor furnaces we have now," she said. "Students will be able to cast more often, have larger pieces and do it more safely. Plus, this unit won't produce any pollution."
Judith McCrea, art department chair, said the furnace would benefit art students.
Another recipient was the department of architecture and urban design, which was given $12,393 to purchase new computers, monitors and scanners for the Bridge computer lab in Marvin Hall.
Andy Moddrell, a Lawrence junior who uses the lab frequently, said he was glad it was getting more equipment, even though access is not a problem now.
"As far as I'm concerned, the more, the better," Moddrell said. "I think it'll be great. Just people's opinion of Bridge will be enhanced by them knowing they'll be able to use more stuff."
He considers the student technology fee to be worth the money, though it may cause more problems for out-of-state student who pay more to begin with, he said.
The student technology fee is $1 per credit hour, meaning that a student enrolled in 15 credit hours paid $15 for this semester. The fee was implemented last year, and the Kansas Legislature agreed to contribute $2 for every $1 generated by the fee both last year and this year.
Half of the roughly $1.2 million contributed by the legislature goes to technology improvements deemed vital by Givens and other administrators, he said. The other half is divided among the schools on the basis of enrollment for them to use as they please, he said.
Both the number of applications and the amount of total money requested rose this year, Givens said. However, the amount of money available remained basically the same because the total number of credit hours students took was about the same, he said.
Departments within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which contain about half the students in the University, received $365,470, while the rest of the schools at the University divided up the remaining $248,177.
"The disbursement of where the money goes is not all even," Givens said. "It doesn't cover the University in an equal way in any one year, but I think in the long run, it will even out. That's already happening to a certain extent."
However, Givens said he was pleased with the process by which the money was given out.
"The students did an excellent job in choosing," he said. "The philosophy that we've based on it is that this is the student's money, and this is about as close as we can get to giving them their say in where it's going. They deserve this input."

Parent of swimmer who left Kansas team agrees with article
As a parent of one of the swimmers who has recently left the swimming program at Kansas, I want to thank Emily Hughey for her fine article. When I was dealing with Gary and even the Athletic Administrators, I became very frustrated. Just think what an 18-year-old was experiencing. To hear a former diving coach say Gary wants to be the "One and only" only brings more credence when my son kept telling me that Gary always said, "It's my way or the highway," when my son would ask questions or want to add stroke work to his practice. My son also received the famous "yell at" talk in front of the team when he told Gary he wanted to leave. My son was told that if he caused problems, Gary would not give him the release to go to another school. The "causing problems" was keeping his mouth shut. He even told one of the coaches my son was being recruited by, after his release, that my son was a problem, he wouldn't like that kind of a problem on his team. This was his number one backstroker last year who swam a school record in the 200 backstroke that he will not acknowledge. He would not even give my son a letter jacket.
I also wrote letters to the chancellor and athletic director. I did get some direction from one of the assistant athletics directors but only a letter that seemed somewhat threatening from Mr. Frederick.
My son also expressed the good ole boy system and still loves KU, the institution. He left his girlfriend (of over a year) and eight roommates in his off-campus house with many tears. He is still swimming and enjoys it more now but still talks about the good times out of the pool.
Again, thanks for the article.

Similar problems occur on other swim teams
In regard to "Coach under fire," featured in the Wednesday edition of the Kansan, I was disturbed by the content and tone of the article. As a member of the women's swim team, I was embarrassed and disappointed by the lack of objectivity. Like my former teammates, I had had past difficulties with my coaches, but I do not believe that they are solely to blame for the negative experiences I have encountered in my swimming career.
I began my collegiate swimming career at the University of Notre Dame, representing that school for two years. Although there are numerous variables that led me to the decision to leave Notre Dame and transfer to KU, one factor was a poor relationship with my coach, Bailey Weathers. The tension I experienced with Bailey was extremely similar with the concerns regarding Gary Kempf in the "Coach under fire" article. Although I blamed Bailey at the time, these experiences, which resulted in a total loss of enjoyment for the sport, were not strictly an effect of Bailey's coaching. Like those who oppose Gary's coaching, I did not agree with Bailey's methods, but their approach is not unique. It is the swimming community as an organization that promotes the type of mentality out lined in the article.
The distresses mentioned by my former teammates, I experienced at Notre Dame as well as on my high school club team. Since I was 13 years old, I have never been on a team where the coach did not comment on my weight. This practice is detrimental and leads to unhealthy body images as does comments made by the men's swim coach about our weight. It is not a good custom for men in general to comment on such issues, but it is definitely not a new concept.
When I decided to be recruited, visit schools, and accept a scholarship I accepted a job. Both schools I have attended gave me scholarships to swim for them. I was paid to perform a job. It is a responsibility and an honor. At Notre Dame, my Scholarship was threatened on several occasions because I was not doing what I was told. You cannot go to work, refuse to perform tasks assigned by your boss, and expect them to pay you. College athletics is a fierce and competitive business. It would be idealistic to believe that we are not thought of as commodities, but that is unrealistic. Gary is paid to produce fast swimmers. Threatening to take away scholarships is not a productive method to control student-athletes, but many Division I institutions embrace the idea that we are expendable.
The problems with Gary, my former teammates cite in the article, exist with coaches on many teams. I have never been a part of a team where I did not have issues with my coach at some point, including Gary. Every single coach I have ever had has made me cry at some point, and I can tell horror stories that would appall the general public. My coaches may be considered abusive by some, but it has always been this way. Maybe it is unnatural to hate your coach, but it is pretty common in our sport. The article blames Gary's coaching techniques, and I do not believe that circumstances are different on other teams, at least not where I have been a member. If you need someone to blame, it is not Gary. As far as I am concerned, he is a pretty accurate representation of what swimming has become.
KU athletes deserve better treatment
Shelley Hotchkiss Philadelphia senior
Bravo, Emily Hughey, on your brilliant article Wednesday concerning Gary Kempf. It's about time the truth received some publicity. Now it's time for the administration to confront the problem of poor quality coaching at KU. It would find an increase in the quality of the program if it would just try to import new coaches into the program. Many of U.S.'s top notch coaches are available and have credentials to match.
If the Athletic Department has allowed such abuses to exist, maybe it's time for new blood there as well. It's a pity that this sick epidemic was allowed to continue for 22 years. KU athletics and athletes deserve so much more.
KU lost some courage, talented young men and women due to the controlling, degrading mentality of one who should know better. Don't continue allowing this to happen. After all, this
University is about the positive development of young adults, isn't it?
Brenda Meyer Tanganoxie resident
Coach pushes swimmers toward excellence
An athletic scholarship and education at the University of Kansas are invaluable. To expect excellence from student athletes is not too much to ask of them. When objective standards are not met, student athletes should expect consequences. I don't view suffering the consequences as detrimental to the individual nor a reason to undo years of dedicated coaching, program building and service to a great institution like KU.
I swam for KU and Coach Gary Kempf and chose to leave the program after my sophomore year even after attaining All American honors — an honor I dearly cherish, and one that I not only attribute to my ability and dedication but also to Coach Kempf, who pushed me to that level of achievement. I made the very difficult decision to leave the program because I felt that personally I could no longer balance the tremendous physical and mental strain of Division I swimming and the mental stress of entering KU's rigorous nursing program.
Swimming is a most demanding sport physically and mentally. It also requires tremendous discipline away from the pool in such areas as nutrition. Coaching swimming and the subsequent challenge of building the heart and character of championship athletes are not easy tasks, and I respect Coach Kempf immensely for the tremendously successful job he has done at KU. His standards are very high and his ability to produce championship teams, outstanding student athletes and adults well prepared for life after KU are tributes to his philosophy and dedication. Coach Kempf has had a very positive influence on my life. He challenged me to find a higher level of success. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it! He has my full support.

FORT BENNING, Ga.—More than 3,000 protesters, many wearing black robes and white death masks, marched onto Fort Benning on Sunday to protest human rights abuses they say are committed by graduates of the Army's School of the Americas.
The Associated Press
Fifty-four of the most disruptive demonstrators were briefly detained by military and civilian police, post representative Rich McDowell said. The rest, including actor Martin Sheen, were loaded onto buses and removed from the base.
The Army has not decided whether to press charges against the 54 for trespassing, which is punishable by up to six months in jail, McDowell said.
Many of the protesters carried coffins and crosses bearing the names of victims of violence in Latin America. Sheen made the sign of the cross above a child-sized casket while several other demonstrators lay down on a street pretending to be dead and splattered themselves with red paint.
The Army estimated that about 3,100 of 8,900 demonstrators crossed onto the base while the rest protested outside. The group that organized the protest, School of Americas Watch, said the total number of protesters was closer to 12,000.
The School of the Americas is best
known for its training of Latin American officers who were fighting communist insurgencies. It has long been criticized for human rights abuses later committed in Latin America by some of those graduates.
The annual demonstration commemorates the Nov. 16, 1989, killings in El Salvador of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her young daughter. A United Nations panel found that 19 of the 26 Salvadoran officers involved had been trained at the school.
The Rev. Roy Bourgeois, the priest who has spearheaded the decade-long protest against the school, said he will continue to speak out as long as combat courses are taught there.
"We don't teach democracy from the barrel of a gun," Bourgeois said. "It gives me such joy to see so many people here. There were 10 people 10 years ago, and now there are 10,000."
Army officials say only a small percentage of the school's 60,000 graduates have been linked to human rights abuses.
"When you look at the curriculum of the School of Americas, we teach more human rights courses than any other school in the U.S. Army," said Col. Glenn Weidner, commandant of the school. "Lining people up and shooting them from 3 or 4 meters is not a problem of military training. It's a lack of training."

CONSTRUCTION OF THE SAFETY HOUSE
Building renovation slowed by brick delay
By Clay McCuistion write@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The $14 million renovation of Joseph R. Pearson Hall to house the School of Education has hit some snags but is continuing mostly on schedule, according to University officials.
The renovation began late in the 1988 fall semester and was scheduled to finish in June of 2000. Warren Corman, the University's chief architect, said a wait for appropriate bricks for the addition would delay some parts the project for up to two months.
The bricks were scheduled to arrive last April, but the kiln in Nebraska that produced them exploded. They finally came in August, but were a dark reddish color, not the tan-orange shade requested. New, correctly-colored bricks arrived at the beginning of this month.
Renovations to the inside of the 40-year-old hall are continuing, and Corman said the University's contractor — Ferrell Construction of Topeka — is trying its hardest to bring the rest of the construction up to speed.
("Ferrell is) still trying to make the original schedule." Corman said. "We have a really good contractor, and he's trying to make up for the delays."
Of the funds allocated for the project, $6 million is allotted for additional classrooms and an auditorium, and $8 million is going toward a total refurbishing of the building.
According to University Relations, when the project is
completed, the seven-story 105,000 square-foot building will contain the School of Education in one place for the first time. The school now is shared by Bailey Hall, the Robinson Center and the Dole Human Development Center.
Corman said the delay in getting the bricks mainly affected the addition to the east and west sides of the existing building and may prevent classes from being held there. Office space for the School of Education, however, will be ready.
"We don't anticipate there will be a delay in getting them moving," Corman said. "We could get permission to move them in."
Karen Gallagher, dean of the school, was in meetings throughout yesterday and unavailable for comment on the possible delay.
Todd Cohen of University Relations said there may be extra space in the completed building not used by the school of education.
"I don't think that's been decided, all of what's going to go in there," he said.
More information about the project is available at the school's web site at: www.soe.ukans.edu. The site includes pictures of the construction work in progress.
Joseph R. Pearson hall was built in 1958 and opened in 1959. According to University Relations, the former residence hall was named for a Texas oil man who married 1901 KU graduate Gertrude Sellards Pearson, namesake for a University residence hall.

Students decide how to distribute technology fund
By Nathan Willis

Kansson staff writer
A new of round of high technology is about to hit the University of Kansas campus.
A student committee has decided how to distribute among the various schools and departments at the University more than $600,000 in funds generated this year by student technology fees.
Individual departments and schools must submit applications for grants to a seven-member student committee that decides how to dole out the money.
Assistant Provost Rich Glvens said 49 proposals were submitted this year requesting a total of $1.93 million. From that, the students decided to fund 31 projects with the $614,947 generated by the fee, he said.
"Many of those were not fully funded," Givens said. "They wanted to make sure that the parts of the proposals that in their view had the most impact were funded. They didn't want to pay for anything that they felt should be covered by University money or any infrastructure costs."
Projects that received funding included new equipment to go in the addition to Murphy Hall now under construction and new equipment for Joseph R. Pearson Hall, which is undergoing renovation in preparation for the School of Education's move there next fall. Also included was money for several computer labs and video equipment.
Among the more unique items, Givens said, was $79,000 for an induction furnace for the art department that will allow students to melt bronze, iron and steel for sculptures.
Judith McCrea, art department chair, said the furnace would benefit art students.
“It's much safer and much more efficient than the gas-fired floor furnaces we have now," she said. "Students will be able to cast more often, have larger pieces and do it more safely. Plus, this unit won't produce any pollution."
Another recipient was the department of architecture and urban design, which was given $12,393 to purchase new computers, monitors and scanners for the Bridge computer lab in Marvin Hall.
Andy Moddrell, a Lawrence junior who uses the lab frequently, said he was glad it was getting more equipment, even though access is not a problem now.
"As far as I'm concerned, the more, the better," Moddrell said. "I think it'll be great. Just people's opinion of Bridge will be enhanced by them knowing they'll be able to use more stuff."
He considers the student technology fee to be worth the money, though it may cause more problems for out-of-state student who pay more to begin with, he said.
The student technology fee is $1 per credit hour, meaning that a student enrolled in 15 credit hours paid $15 for this semester. The fee was implemented last year, and the Kansas Legislature agreed to contribute $2 for every $1 generated by the fee both last year and this year.
Half of the roughly $1.2 million contributed by the legislature goes to technology improvements deemed vital by Givens and other administrators, he said. The other half is divided among the schools on the basis of enrollment for them to use as they please, he said.
Both the number of applications and the amount of total money requested rose this year, Givens said. However, the amount of money available remained basically the same because the total number of credit hours students took was about the same, he said.
Departments within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which contain about half the students in the University, received $365,470, while the rest of the schools at the University divided up the remaining $248,177.
"The disbursement of where the money goes is not all even," Givens said. "It doesn't cover the University in an equal way in any one year, but I think in the long run, it will even out. That's already happening to a certain extent."
However, Givens said he was pleased with the process by which the money was given out.
"The students did an excellent job in choosing," he said. "The philosophy that we've based on is on that this is the student's money, and this is about as close as we can get to giving them their say in where it's going. They deserve this input."

Department should help, not drown KU athletes
Swim coach should be suspended until inquiry is complete
In the controversy surrounding swimming coach Gary Kempf, one important point has been drowned out—the fact that the Athletics Department is complacent when dealing with serious allegations relating to the event.
bring to the welfare of students. The department seems unwilling to discipline coaches or even question coaches' treatment of students, which is the real problem. It has a responsibility to care for the welfare of student athletes, and the Kempf situation proves it is not adequately meeting that responsibility.
When the Athletics Department does not discipline its coaches, it fosters a hostile environment. Students must be able to feel secure about the department and trust that if a coach abuses them, the department will stand by the players.
But if the Kempt situation is any indication, the department prefers to stand by the coach when student athletes complain about bad treatment. The department will not protect a student's confidentiality to help avoid confrontations with the coach. There is a legitimate concern about strangling coaches with too much regulation and making their jobs impossible, but this is not one of those cases.
The Athletics Department certainly has not been too hard on Kempf, as evidenced by his 24-year coaching career at the University.
If students are alleged to break a rule, they often are suspended while an investigation takes place. For example, Dion Rayford didn't get a second chance when he was suspended from his last football game after his inappropriate behavior. However, coaches seem to get away with their behavior.
Pushing students to the brink of psychological and physical collapse, ridiculing them for injury and making them hate their opponents and their own bodies is just as inappropriate as Rayford's behavior. The Kempf brand of abuse that some students allege is worse because as a state-paid employee and a man in a position of power he carries greater responsibility. Kempf acts with the authority of the school behind him, but that authority isn't free. It comes with responsibility that Kempf has disregarded.
The Athletics Department also has a responsibility besides just making sure the University wins sports contests. There is a line that divides pushing a student to higher achievement and pushing a student into exhaustion and desperation. The department
must maintain this line. The complaints lodged against Kempf indicate that the department has failed to meet this respe tity.
Bob Frederick, director of athletics, has promised that this issue will be handled in a confidential manner. Such a process will be of little comfort to the swimmers that have leveled the chutes.

forum. The general welfare of the student body would be best served with either a condemnation of Kempf's actions or a clearing of his name. If several students would have accused a professor, during several years, of belittling them in class and making fun of their intelligence, the outcome of that situation would not just be a personnel issue. It would be indicative of what kind of school the University of Kansas is.
excuse abuse in the name of good athletics. Coaches are sometimes considered hard or tough, but it is all justified in the name of competition. This is the loose mindset that dominates athletics and allows students to be mistreated.
What the Athletics Department must do in this case is investigate the complaints students have made, now and in the past. Those students, as a group, should be allowed to

This would help the department realize its responsibility and realize that coaches such as Kempf who push their students too hard and disregard their well being should not be coaching at all, no matter whether they are successful or not.

And well he might hide.
Shrub Bush in
person is less than impressive. There's a reason his handlers don't let him out much.
Take, for example, his recent radio interview. Bush was expecting smooth sailing and glib soundbites. What he got, however, was basic foreign policy. The interviewer asked him to name four leaders in four major hot spots. Bush got one.
I did a little experiment. Strolling down to Budig Hall, I skulked outside the door to a political science class and jumped the first five people I could catch, hitting them with the same four questions Bush got.
Two students got two right, one got
three, one got all four, and a fifth told me to go do things with myself that, I fear, are anatomically impossible.
Based on this admittedly unscientific poll, we can conclude two things.
2) At least four out of five University of Kansas students with a slight interest in politics have a better grasp of foreign affairs than the leading candidate for president of the United States.
1) Journalists are nosy people who need to stop pestering hapless (but aggressive) poli sci students.
While this undoubtedly will please Chancellor Hemenway, the rest of us have cause for concern.
But the whole sorry episode showed more than just Bush's meager knowledge of other nations. It also showed how poorly he handles the unexpected. Faced with a question not appearing on his cue cards, Bush did a splendid imitation of a deer in the headlights.
"Wait, wait, is this 50 questions?" he first stammered.
Then, informed that it was instead a quiz on his knowledge of foreign affairs, he bristled - and promptly challenged his interviewer to name the foreign minister of Mexico.
The interviewer pointed out that he wasn't running for president, whereupon Bush made his view on the matter known in a clear, concise statement:
"What I'm suggesting to you is. if
you can't name the foreign minister of Mexico, therefore, you know, you're not capable about what you do. But the truth of the matter is you are, whether you can or not."
Thank you, Dubya, that explains everything.
The man is woefully ignorant. Do I know the names of all those leaders? Nope, I'd have gotten two at the most.
But Gore would have gotten them. Bradley would have gotten them. McCain would have gotten them. All three of these men have been dealing intimately in our nation's foreign policy for years.
Bush falls behind McCain in character, honor, knowledge, and experience. Where his rival is serene and decisive, Bush is cranky and petulant. Examine his later comment on his flunked quiz: "I don't really mind people picking on me." Bush said in a *Time* magazine interview. "I know what I can do, I've never held myself out to be any great genius, but I'm plenty smart." Does he or those he not sound like a sixth grader, whining of bullies even as he tries to look modest and competent?
But hey, he's got money.
Let's see if we'll elect a leader. Or a bag of greasy bills.

Official statement from the Athletics director
The Athletics Department is obviously aware of the criticism of head swimming coach, Gary Kempf. We have an internal process to deal with such issues, which is confidential. I personally want to assure all concerned that we take this matter seriously and any others which may occur.
Bob Frederick Director of Athletics
I read Emily Hughey's piece yesterday and re-lived all the memories of my swimming career at KU once again. A Jayhawk since birth, my father played basketball and my sister played tennis here. I learned the Rock Chalk chant along with my ABC's. I loved swimming when I began at KU. After Gary, I loved my teammates, but hated the sport.
Former swimmer says coach was intimidating
Gary would attack your self-esteem, something extremely precious to 17 and 18 year-old women. While many survived without damage, I watched many talented swimmers come to the program with a sparkle in their eyes and determination to be the best. They would leave the University as sad, broken athletes who might never compete again. We were doing something we loved and he took that away from us.
With Gary, it was "his way or the Trailway." He ran a tight ship, and if you didn't like it, you could leave. Ask him about "mandatory optionals," those optional practices during off-season and finals that were
I spent four years second-guessing every move I made, walking on eggshells and injuring myself physically and mentally, just to please someone who really means so very little. Now, nearly 7 years after my eligibility is through, his actions and words still affect my self-esteem and how I deal with others.
mandatory, if we opted to be a member of the team. Never mind that it consistently put us over the NCAA training limit.
This is just the tip of the iceberg on how Gary has intimidated and made individuals feel worthless at a time in their lives when were are just beginning to recognize that they could accomplish anything. I hope the investigation will continue. It's time to call you on the carpet, Garv.

Swim story disappointing
I was very disappointed in the "Coach Under Fire" article that was published on Wednesday. I am a swimmer here at KU, and I have much respect for Gary. I think he's a good man and a great coach
Gary has to be honest with his swimmers, and sometimes honesty hurts. You can't afford to be fat and swim. You can't be lazy and still swim fast. Any way you break the news is going to be offending. If you have a bad swim, Gary tells you. I admire that kind of honesty in a coach. What the swimmers quoted in the article didn't realize was that it was not a personal attack — it was simply a statement of fact. (There was also much exaggeration in those accusations against Gary.) Gary isn't simply a coach. He's a motivator. He wants to instill in us the same drive to win that he has. Sure he's going to hack of people in the process. Anyone who coaches a sport 25 years at any university is going to run into athletes they just don't get along with. If that's one (out of sixty) a year, that makes 25 angry ex-swimmers. What the Kansan did was seek out the mad ones and interview them. That was biased and unprofessional. For every one of those there are 59 others who are content and happy with Gary as a coach.
As far as the parents are concerned, they know nothing but what the swimmers tell them. So of course they're going to be upset when Bobby runs home and cries to his mother that practice was hard and he just can't handle it anymore and the coach doesn't care. In reality, swimming is one of the most grueling sports to train for out there, no matter who your coach is.
Some of us train five mornings a week:
Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 a.m.
Monday and Friday at 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.
on Saturday mornings. In addition,
every afternoon you will find us at
Robinson cranking out set after set from
2:45 to 5:30 p.m. It's hard. It's very hard.
Please start giving us some by apologizing for that ugly unwarranted verbal attack you published on our coach. He has enough on his mind trying to coach us without having to worry about rumors flying in the paper about how "terrible" of a man he is. It's simply not true.
There are many that can't handle it. So some blame Gary for their problems and quit swimming. Others just quietly and peacefully exit. At any rate, the swimmers that remain on the team deserve some respect.

There's a very good chance you may not remember why Nov. 22, 1963, was a
I remember why Nov. 22, 1963, was a special day in United States history.
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 36 years ago on that day. On Nov. 21, 1963, I was in sixth grade in San Antonio, Texas.
Kennedy visited San Antonio the day before he went to Fort Worth and Dallas. Just a fence separated my back yard from his motorcade as he passed by, but I didn't see him.
Nov. 22, 1963. I was at lunch recess when a teacher told us school was out for the day. He said that the president had been shot and was dead. My first reaction was that then-Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, a Texan, was responsible. Afterward, I was
responsible. After all, it happened in Texas.
The funeral procession is the next thing I recall. We watched it on our black and white television set. The military band played dreary funeral music. It was a dismal day. And it was sad, so sad. The assassination was a terrible thing to happen, and we couldn't get back what we had lost.

Communist and worked in the building where the shots came from. His Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifle had been recovered. Obviously, he had done it. He was a communist and that made him guilty. Nobody seemed to believe the people who said the shots came from the grassy knoll, probably because the evidence against Oswald made him look so guilty.
And then the Zapruder film appeared in Life magazine, frame by frame. If you have never seen the Zapruder film, you should. It showed almost everything that happened as the shots hit Kennedy. It shows what was probably the fatal shot, and it showed the front of Kennedy's head exploding.
Someone used the Zapruder film to measure
the amount of time that the three shots took. CBS had sharpshooters use Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifles to try to shoot three accurate shots within the time as evidenced by the Zapruder film. Accuracy aside, none of the three were able to fire three shots in the measured amount of time.
The 1977 House Select Committee on Assassinations reported that four shots were audible on a tape from a motorcycle policeman's radio. The committee also said there was a plot. But they didn't name anyone.
So who done it? Don't search too hard. I doubt that U.S. government officials were involved. Why destabilize the government at a time when anti-communism was the name of the game?
I think that if there was a plot, it probably involved somebody who knew what Oswald was going to do and took advantage of the situation to take a shot. Oswald, so to speak, had fleas, and one of them probably fired the fourth shot, if there was one.
Was there any semblance of a cover-up? I think so. The FBI monitored Oswald after he returned from the Soviet Union. It was the bureau's job. He was a communist. The cover-up occurred because the FBI sought to hide the fact that they had been monitoring him and yet had no knowledge of what Oswald was going to do. Oswald made the FBI look bad; almost derelict in their duty. They should have known because they should have watched him more closely.
In 1990, I was in Dallas waiting on a bus and decided to go for a walk. I stood on a hill and realized that I knew the scene. I was on the other side of Dealey Plaza across from the Texas Schoolbook Depository. I crossed the plaza. I looked down the road that I had seen so many times. I didn't look at the grassy knoll. It never occurred to me to do so. I walked over to the depository. There's a plaque there on the depository that tells what Oswald did. And he really did.

Parent of swimmer who left Kansas team agrees with article
As a parent of one of the swimmers who has recently left the swimming program at Kansas, I want to thank Emily Hughey for her fine article. When I was dealing with Gary and even the Athletic Administrators, I became very frustrated. Just think what an 18-year-old was experiencing. To hear a former diving coach say Gary wants to be the "One and only" only brings more credence when my son kept telling me that Gary always said, "It's my way or the highway, son," when my son would ask questions or want to add stroke work to his practice. My son also received the famous "yell at" talk in front of the team when he told Gary he wanted to leave. My son was told that if he caused problems, Gary would not give him the release to go to another school. The "causing problems" was keeping his mouth shut. He even told one of the coaches my son was being recruited by, after his release, that my son was a problem, he wouldn't like that kind of a problem on his team. This was his number one backstroker last year who swam a school record in the 200 backstroke that he will not acknowledge. He would not even give my son a letter jacket.
I also wrote letters to the chancellor and athletic director. I did get some direction from one of the assistant athletics directors but only a letter that seemed somewhat threatening from Mr. Frederick.
My son also expressed the good ole boy system and still loves KU, the institution. He left his girlfriend (of over a year) and eight roommates in his off-campus house with many tears. He is still swimming and enjoys it more now but still talks about the good times out of the pool.
Again, thanks for the article.

Similar problems occur on other swim teams
In regard to "Coach under fire," featured in the Wednesday edition of the Kansan, I was disturbed by the content and tone of the article. As a member of the women's swim team, I was embarrassed and disappointed by the lack of objectivity. Like my former teammates, I have had past difficulties with my coaches, but I do not believe that they are solely to blame for the negative experiences I have encountered in my swimming career.
I began my collegiate swimming career at the University of Notre Dame, representing that school for two years. Although there are numerous variables that led me to the decision to leave Notre Dame and transfer to KU, one factor was a poor relationship with my coach, Bailey Weathers. The tension I experienced with Bailey was extremely similar with the concerns regarding Gary Kempf in the "Coach under fire" article. Although I blamed Bailey at the time, these experiences, which resulted in a total loss of enjoyment for the sport, were not strictly an effect of Bailey's coaching. Like those who oppose Gary's coaching, I did not agree with Bailey's methods, but their approach is not unique. It is the swimming community as an organization that promotes the type of mentality outlined in the article.
The distresses mentioned by my former teammates, I experienced at Notre Dame as well as on my high school club team. Since I was 13 years old, I have never been on a team where the coach did not comment on my weight. This practice is detrimental and leads to unhealthy body images as does comments made by the men's swim coach about our weight. It is not a good custom for men in general to comment on such issues, but it is definitely not a new concept.
When I decided to be recruited, visit schools, and accept a scholarship I accepted a job. Both schools I have attended gave me scholarships to swim for them. I was paid to perform a job. It is a responsibility and an honor. At Notre Dame, my scholarship was threatened on several occasions because I was not doing what I was told. You cannot go to work, refuse to perform tasks assigned by your boss, and expect them to pay you. College athletics is a fierce and competitive business. It would be idealistic to believe that we are not thought of as commodities, but that is unrealistic. Gary is paid to produce fast swimmers. Threatening to take away scholarships is not a productive method to control student-athletes, but many Division I institutions embrace the idea that we are expendable.
The problems with Gary, my former teammates cite in the article, exist with coaches on many teams. I have never been a part of a team where I did not have issues with my coach at some point, including Gary. Every single coach I have ever had has made me cry at some point, and I can tell horror stories that would appall the general public. My coaches may be considered abusive by some, but it has always been this way. Maybe it is unnatural to hate your coach, but it is pretty common in our sport. The article blames Gary's coaching techniques, and I do not believe that circumstances are different on other teams, at least not where I have been a member. If you need someone to blame, it is not Gary. As far as I am concerned, he is a pretty accurate representation of what swimming has become.

KU athletes deserve better treatment
Bravo, Emily Hughey, on your brilliant article Wednesday concerning Gary Kempf. It's about time the truth received some publicity. Now it's time for the administration to confront the problem of poor quality coaching at KU. It would find an increase in the quality of the program if it would just try to import new coaches into the program. Many of U.S.'s top notch coaches are available and have credentials to match.
If the Athletic Department has allowed such abuses to exist, maybe it's time for new blood there as well. It's a pity that this sick epidemic was allowed to continue for 22 years. KU athletics and athletes deserve so much more.
KU lost some courageous, talented young men and women due to the controlling, degrading mentality of one who should know better. Don't continue allowing this to happen. After all, this
University is about the positive development of young adults, isn't it?

Coach pushes swimmers toward excellence
An athletic scholarship and education at the University of Kansas are invaluable. To expect excellence from student athletes is not too much to ask of them. When objective standards are not met, student athletes should expect consequences. I don't view suffering the consequences as detrimental to the individual nor a reason to undo years of dedicated coaching, program building and service to a great institution like KU.
I swam for KU and Coach Gary Kempf and chose to leave the program after my sophomore year even after attaining All American honors — an honor I dearly cherish, and one that I not only attribute to my ability and dedication but also to Coach Kempf, who pushed me to that level of achievement. I made the very difficult decision to leave the program because I felt that personally I could no longer balance the tremendous physical and mental strain of Division I swimming and the mental stress of entering KU's rigorous nursing program.
Swimming is a most demanding sport physically and mentally. It also requires tremendous discipline away from the pool in such areas as nutrition. Coaching swimming and the subsequent challenge of building the heart and character of championship athletes are not easy tasks, and I respect Coach Kempf immensely for the tremendously successful job he has done at KU. His standards are very high and his ability to produce championship teams, outstanding student athletes and adults well prepared for life after KU are tributes to his philosophy and dedication. Coach Kempf has had a very positive influence on my life. He challenged me to find a higher level of success. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it! He has my full support.

Feedback
Parent of swimmer who left Kansas team agrees with article
As a parent of one of the swimmers who has recently left the swimming program at Kansas, I want to thank Emily Hughey for her fine article. When I was dealing with Gary and even the Athletic Administrators, I became very frustrated. Just think what an 18-year-old was experiencing. To hear a former diving coach say Gary wants to be the "One and only" only brings more credence when my son kept telling me that Gary always said, "It's my way or the highway, son," when my son would ask questions or want to add stroke work to his practice. My son also received the famous "yell at" talk in front of the team when he told Gary he wanted to leave. My son was told that if he caused problems, Gary would not give him the release to go to another school. The "causing problems" was keeping his mouth shut. He even told one of the coaches my son was being recruited by, after his release, that my son was a problem, he wouldn't like that kind of a problem on his team. This was his number one backstroker last year who swam a school record in the 200 backstroke that he will not acknowledge. He would not even give my son a letter jacket.
I also wrote letters to the chancellor and athletic director. I did get some direction from one of the assistant athletics directors but only a letter that seemed somewhat threatening from Mr. Frederick.
My son also expressed the good ole boy system and still loves KU, the institution. He left his girlfriend (of over a year) and eight roommates in his off-campus house with many tears. He is still swimming and enjoys it more now but still talks about the good times out of the pool.
Again, thanks for the article.
Similar problems occur on other swim teams
Bill Bernhardt
South Bend, Ind. resident
In regard to "Coach under fire," featured in the Wednesday edition of the Kansan, I was disturbed by the content and tone of the article. As a member of the women's swim team, I was embarrassed and disappointed by the lack of objectivity. Like my former teammates, I have had past difficulties with my coaches, but I do not believe that they are solely to blame for the negative experiences I have encountered in my swimming career.
I began my collegiate swimming career at the University of Notre Dame, representing that school for two years. Although there are numerous variables that led me to the decision to leave Notre Dame and transfer to KU, one factor was a poor relationship with my coach, Bailey Weathers. The tension I experienced with Bailey was extremely similar with the concerns regarding Gary Kempf in the "Coach under fire" article. Although I blamed Bailey at the time, these experiences, which resulted in a total loss of enjoyment for the sport, were not strictly an effect of Bailey's coaching. Like those who oppose Gary's coaching, I did not agree with Bailey's methods, but their approach is not unique. It is the swimming community as an organization that promotes the type of mentality outlined in the article.
The distresses mentioned by my former teammates, I experienced at Notre Dame as well as on my high school club team. Since I was 13 years old, I have never been on a team where the coach did not comment on my weight. This practice is detrimental and leads to unhealthy body images as does comments made by the men's swim coach about our weight. It is not a good custom for men in general to comment on such issues, but it is definitely not a new concept.
When I decided to be recruited, visit schools, and accept a scholarship I accepted a job. Both schools I have attended gave me scholarships to swim for them. I was paid to perform a job. It is a responsibility and an honor. At Notre Dame, my scholarship was threatened on several occasions because I was not doing what I was told. You cannot go to work, refuse to perform tasks assigned by your boss, and expect them to pay you. College athletics is a fierce and competitive business. It would be idealistic to believe that we are not thought of as commodities, but that is unrealistic. Gary is paid to produce fast swimmers. Threatening to take away scholarships is not a productive method to control student-athletes, but many Division I institutions embrace the idea that we are expendable.
The problems with Gary, my former teammates cite in the article, exist with coaches on many teams. I have never been a part of a team where I did not have issues with my coach at some point, including Gary. Every single coach I have ever had made me cry at some point, and I can tell horror stories that would appall the general public. My coaches may be considered abusive by some, but it has always been this way. Maybe it is unnatural to hate your coach, but it is pretty common in our sport. The article blames 'Gary's coaching techniques, and I do not believe that circumstances are different on other teams, at least not where I have been a member. If you need someone to blame, it is not Gary. As far as I am concerned, he is a pretty accurate representation of what swimming has become.
Shelley Hotchkiss Philadelphia senior
KU athletes deserve better treatment
Bravo, Emily Hughey, on your brilliant article Wednesday concerning Gary Kempf. It's about time the truth received some publicity. Now it's time for the administration to confront the problem of poor quality coaching at KU. It would find an increase in the quality of the program if it would just try to import new coaches into the program. Many of U.S.'s top notch coaches are available and have credentials to match.
Brenda Meyer Tonganoxie resident
If the Athletic Department has allowed such abuses to exist, maybe it's time for new blood there as well. It's a pity that this sick epidemic was allowed to continue for 22 years. KU athletics and athletes deserve so much more.

Berkeley professor debates evolution
Instructor denounces Hemenway opinion
By Jim O'Malley Special to the Kansan
Phillip Johnson, a leading critic of Darwinism, is now also a critic of Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Last month in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Hemenway called for better science education as the remedy for the State Board of Education's evolution decision.
Johnson, a law professor at Berkeley,
responded to Hemenway in the Nov. 12
issue of the Chronicle. Johnson is an advocate of intelligent design — the idea that species did not develop by genetic mutation and natural selection, but are intelligently designed by a creator.
The evidence supporting Darwinism is weak, Johnson wrote. And he said the theory is a controversial one with serious religious implications.
Johnson rejected Hemenway's contention that science does not conflict with religion.
"Of course there is a tension between God and Darwin," Johnson wrote. "Why else would people who wish to mock the
Christian fish symbol choose as their counter-symbol a fish with feet?*
He argued that the way evolution is taught is not science education but
indoctrination in a materialistic belief system.
Johnson wrote that he disapproved of removing anything from the curriculum.
"The truly educational approach is to teach the contro-

versay," he wrote. "Real education requires that students be exposed to dissenting views in their strongest form, rather than merely to some caricature
written by a scientific materialist."
Johnson concluded by warning Hemenway that if scientific and educational elites wage a war of conquest against religion, that they would be underestimating their enemy.
Although Johnson said in 1992 that Biblical young-earth creationists were misguided, according to a 1997 Christianity Today article, he has since worked out a cautious truce with them.
Johnson declined to comment on whether biblical creationism was a scientific theory that should be taught.
"I do not believe that biblical creationism can be described as a failure or as immoral," he told Christianity Today.

Friends create magazine
Two KU students release new literary publication
By Derek Prater writer kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A new literary magazine released last week is the product of ambition, experimentation and a friendship between two KU students.
Neotrope is a literary journal dedicated exclusively to experimental fiction and drama, published by Broken Boulder Press. The press, a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, was founded in 1996 by Paul Silvia, Fresno, Calif., graduate student.
Silvia said he had kicked the idea for Neotrope around for awhile, but it really took off when his friend Adam Powell moved to Lawrence in 1998.
Silvia and Powell, New Castle, Del., junior, have been friends since they met several years ago at the University of Southern California.
"We do really seem to feed off each other and inspire each other." Powell said.
Silvia said he and Powell shared an interest in writing, in particular, experimental writing. Neotrope is their attempt to draw more readers to an area that they feel is not receiving as much attention as it should.
"There really is some very cool experimental fiction being done, but there aren't
any magazines out there dedicated to avant-garde fiction and drama," Silvia said.
Powell said he did not know of any other national publication that focused primarily on experimental fiction and drama.
Todd Bash, a Los Angeles-area resident who wrote a play in the first edition of Neotrope titled Das Nachtgespenst, said there was unquestionably a lack of outlets for experimental writing. Bash said he was encouraged by enterprises such as the one Silvia and Powell were undertaking.
Silvia said he and Powell received lots of works for consideration for the first issue of Neotrope.
They strived for diversity, but there was a common theme in what they were looking for. Silvia said.
"Our ideal story is really something so bizarre that when you see it, you get this startle response," he said.
Powell agrees.
"We want something that attempts to inspire new feelings in the reader that you've never felt before," he said.
Locally, the magazine is available at Borders Books Music & Cafe, 700 New Hampshire St.; The Raven Bookstore, 8 E. 7th St.; and Love Garden Sounds/Arts Multiplex, 936 1/2 Massachusetts St., carried Neotrope.
Silvia and Powell said they hoped to have the next edition of Neotrope out by early next September.

Job service seeks University aid
By Todd Halstead writer@kansan.com
A new online job-placement service has decided the University of Kansas is where to turn for help.
The Information and Telecommunication Technology Center at the University has entered into a three-year contract with DiscoverMe LLC, a Web-based job placement firm located in Prairie Village. Under the agreement, the center would create new software that would enable DiscoverMe, located at www.discoverme.com, to expand its services.
Carol Rudder, CEO of DiscoverMe, said she started the company in 1988 with eight employees and expected to reach 18 employees this December.
She said the center would be paid a flat rate of $700,000 for the new software.
Rudder, who had bad experiences with jobs through hiring agencies, said she saw a way to improve the business.
software and Internet needs.
DiscoverMe is the first online job placement firm to use personality profiling to match job seekers with a company's top performers. The center previously was procured by DiscoverMe to have its engineers and technology experts create the company's unique
"The first version of software made service possible," Rudder said. "The new software will take us to the next level as far as speed."
Rudder said although it was economically efficient, she also chose to work with the center because of its creativity in finding the best solutions.
"We had a vision, but they were responsible for the development," Rudder said.
The company began its services this year with no company clients and 5,000 job seekers registered at its Web site. It has grown to six company clients and more than 20,000 job seekers.
Rudder said projected 1999 sales of less than $500,000 would reach $260 million by 2004.
Mark Widowik. The center's director for applied technology, said although the center had helped Sprint create key advanced network technology, it focused on assisting smaller companies with new technology.
"We are in the process of raising $12 million for marketing," Rudder said. "We work with large companies and expect to be huge."
"Part of our mission is to help start budding new businesses get off the ground through a collaborative effort." Wdowik said.

Dangerous drug gaining popularity
By Amber Stuever
By Amber Steuer
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff write
Elizabeth, a University of Kansas senior, described the trend drug as euphoric. Most, however, call it pure ecstasy.
However, the drug—which runs $10 to $30 per dose — exchanges an intense high for a dangerous gamble with the user's health.
The official name of the drug that has increased in popularity in Lawrence is N-methyl-3, 4-methylenedioxyphetamine, or MDMA. The hallucinogenic amphetamine, known as ecstasy, can make users feel that their insight is boosted and their communication aided without the unpredictable turns of LSD and other hallucinogens.
"It's prevalent in this town," Elizabeth said. "But just because there's a lot of it doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful with it."
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said that police had seen some of the illegal drug.
The danger of ecstasy comes from its mystery makeup, he said.
"The problem with all those synthesized types of drugs is you don't know what you're getting," Wheeler said. "The purity of the ingredients, and certainly the purity of the end product is detrimental."
The drug combines a hallucinogen similar to LSD with an amphetamine similar to speed, said Julie Francis, Watkins Memorial Health Center health educator. Because the drug can be synthesized anywhere, there's no exact recipe. Users have no idea of the intensity of a given pill.
Small doses generally cause feelings of increased confidence and relaxed arousal.
Elizabeth said ecstasy caused the skin to feel increasingly sensitive. She said it did not, however, make users want sex more than usual.
High doses of ecstasy can cause anxiety, delusions, paranoia and heart problems. Irregular heartbeats have caused death in users with previously undiagnosed heart disease. Recent studies also have shown that the drug may have long-term effects.
The drug also can be addictive, Francis said.
The effects of ecstasy start 30 minutes after use and last for four to six hours. However, Elizabeth said ecstasy was a hard drug and that its crash was more severe.

Churches close to protest planned mosque
Israeli Christians upset about plans to build in heart of Nazareth
The Associated Press
NAZARETH, Israel—The gates of churches across the Holy Land swung shut in protest Monday as church leaders made a final attempt to block the building of a mosque in the heart of Nazareth, the town of Jesus' boyhood.
The two-day, Vatican-backed closure highlights the increasingly volatile relations between Christians and Muslims, as well as Israel's ambiguous — some claim politically tainted — role as mediator.
The dispute also has spilled into Mideast peace talks, with
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat backing the Christians in Nazareth in hopes they will support him when he negotiates the future of Jerusalem with the Israelis.
Saudi Arabia, the guardian of Islam's holiest shrines, supported Arafat's efforts, offering to pay for a new mosque at an alternate spot in Nazareth, away from the Basilica of the Annunciation, to avoid friction.
The church closures, just weeks before the last Christmas of the millennium, left many pilgrims disappointed. Some endorsed the protest, while others said Christians should set examples of tolerance and not block construction of the mosque.
"Nazareth should be a city for everyone," said Jozpeh Wietsiers, 54, a Roman Catholic who had
walked more than 2,400 miles since May on a pilgrimage from his hometown in Oss, Holland, only to find the Basilica closed.
But the highest Roman Catholic authority in the Holy Land, Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah, said the Christians, a tiny minority of about 100,000, had to take a stand.
"We closed the churches so the world can hear, and the world did," Sabbah said at a news conference in Jerusalem.
The dispute is uncharacteristic of Israel's Christians, who usually keep a low profile to avoid friction with Muslims.
Sabbah hinted that Pope John Paul II's visit to Israel and the Palestinian areas, set for March, still could be called off if the Nazareth dispute was not resolved.
The argument began two years ago, when the city's Christian
mayor, Ramez Jeraisi, announced plans to build a tourist plaza on a half-acre plot outside the Basilica to make the congested, noisy downtown more appealing to millennium visitors.
The city's Islamic movement said some of the land was Muslim-owned and set up a protest tent on the lot.
In a compromise brokered by the Israeli government, the mosque is to be built on one-third of the land, the plaza on the remainder. Jerusalem reluctantly accepted the deal, saying he wanted to avoid more strife, but was overruled by Roman Catholic, Armenian and Greek Orthodox patriarchs who said a mosque near the church was unacceptable.
Churches closed across the Holy Land, including in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and the Gaillee.
Troops surround Grozny, expect militants to flee
The Associated Press
SLEPTSOVSKAYA, Russia— Russian forces are moving steadily to encircle Chechenya's capital and expect civilians will encourage Chechen militants to abandon the city rather than wage an all-out battle, Russia's top army officer said Monday.
Russia pounded parts of Chechnya from the air and ground, with warplanes running about 50 combat missions in a 24-hour period, the Interfax news agency said. Fearful civilians continued their exodus from Chechnya.
So far, Russia's march across Chechnya, which began two months ago, has not produced major battles reminiscent of the 1994-96 war in the breakaway territory. The outgunned Chechens have regularly retreated rather than confront the larger and more heavily armed Russian formations.
With the Russians now on the outskirts of Grozny, some 5,000 to 6,000 militants have barricaded themselves in the Chechen capital in anticipation of a Russian assault, the Russian military said.
But Gen. Anatoly Kvashnin, the chief of the army's general staff, stressed that his troops would not try to storm the capital. As with other towns captured by the Russians forces, Kvashnin believes civilians do not want to see widespread destruction and will urge the militants to withdraw, allowing the Russian forces to move in with little resistance.

have been pummeling the city for weeks, and Russian forces have already surrounded 80 percent of Grozny, according to the military.
The Russians expect to have the city completely encircled by early
December, the Interfax news agency said, citing Russian military sources in Mozdok, the main military base just to the west of Chechnya.
Much of Grozny was destroyed in the previous war, including most buildings in the center of the capital, and little has been rebuilt.
The Federal Migration Service said Monday that 222,556 refugees had fled Chechnya since the current fighting began. More than 1,850 left Chechnya during the past 24 hours, the Interior Ministry said.
Weary-looking refugees, mostly women and children, piled out of pickup trucks at the border with Ingushetia, and began their trek to find shelter in tent camps or private homes.
Kosovars start to question U.N.'s authority, control in land ravaged by conflict
Workers hover over the sky blue control panel, waiting for the communist-era monoliths to clatter to a halt. The infrastructure collapse is not surprising here. Very little works in Kosovo, the land between governments that President Clinton visits today.
OBILIC, Yugoslavia — Dust fogs the air of Obilic's cavernous power plant, where two massive turbines turn on the lights in Kosovo — every now and then.
Gone is the government of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, excised by war and the arrival of NATO troops in June. In its place is a U.N. administration so beleaguered that five months after its arrival, its primary accomplishment has been getting organized.
So far, it has failed to contain crime, halt ethnic violence, establish a judiciary or just about any other structure of government. Pristina, the provincial capital, is a city where the streets have no names, most cars have no plates and people can't produce documents to prove they are alive or their relatives are dead.
The troubles attracted the notice of the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Henry H. Shelton, when he visited Kosovo.
The Associated Press
"There is a void between what the military can accomplish and what is needed for a sustainable peace," Shelton said.
Welcome to life in the void, where even U.N. officials acknowledge they've been slow in getting started, primarily because the mission lacked quick money to jump-start it.
Efforts to get police officers on the streets, for example, have been delayed by their failure to show up:
Of the 3,000 police pledged in June, only 1,700 had arrived by November. Serbs and other ethnic minorities continue to flee attacks leveled in revenge for the estimated 10,000 people killed during the 18-month crackdown by forces loyal to Milosevic.
But U.S. officials said today's situation was a big improvement from a year ago.
The United Nations moved into a region suffering catastrophic collapse, and not just from the war. Roads, bridges, hospitals, water lines and other infrastructure elements are crumbling from a lack of maintenance.
"This will be a difficult winter, but it will be a hell of a lot better than last winter when the Kosovars were being killed," National Security Adviser Sandy Berger said.
The U.S. and European nations pledged $1 billion last week to rebuild Kosovo and that should accelerate the pace of progress, officials said.
Nevertheless, the U.N. failure to accomplish its goals quickly is shattering the Kosovars' confidence in the mission, said Fron Nazi, a senior editor for the Institute of War and Peace Reporting.
Nazi faulted the U.N. top administrator, Bernard Kouchner, for the U.N.'s wimpy reputation, saying the former French health minister who helped found Doctors Without Borders directed his early efforts toward political consensus.
Now, Kosovars have reason to be cynical. Hundreds of public employees show up for work, but don't get paid.
Then there are the water system's constant shutdowns, the rarely working mobile phone system and the long power blackouts.

Thanksgiving
Hall closings strand some during break
By Lari O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Derrick Bachman, Salina freshman, is one of 220 students who will stay in McCollum Hall during Thanksgiving break.
McColm will be the only residence hall or scholarship hall that will not close at 11 p.m. tomorrow and reopen at 8 a.m. Sunday. Students who live in a hall that is closing must find a place to stay during the week.
Kim Grassmeyer, assistant director of the department of student housing, said there also were about three or four people living in other residence halls who also will stay in McCollam Hall's end rooms, small rooms located at the end of each hall that are not used for regular residency.
She said the rooms did not have a cable connection or a phone outlet. The students were asked to pay $10 per night, or $42, for the entire break.
Bachman said he and other McCollum Hall residents did not have to pay an additional fee.
He said he would be going home to Salina tomorrow to celebrate the holiday with his family and returning to Lawrence Thursday night.
Buchman, who works part-time at The Buckle. 805 Massachusetts St., has to work Friday because it is the biggest shopping day of the year.
"It's nice that it stays open all year to accommodate students like me," he said.
Buchman said he was not aware the hall would stay open until three weeks ago when he saw an informational poster by the elevator.
"They need to do a better job telling students it's open ahead of time," he said. Prior to seeing the poster, he told his manager he could not work Friday since he would not have a place to stay.
However, Grassmeyer said that the department of student housing promotes McCollum as being open year-round in all of its literature.
"That way students can plan ahead if they need a place to stay whether they are international students or they have to work," she said.
Buchman said meals will be inconvenient since both the Ekdahl Dining Commons and E's Express will be closed. He said he planned to eat at Subway or other fast food restaurants.
Lindsay Farris, Evanston, Ill., freshman and Lewis Hall resident, said the hall closing schedule was a little inconvenient.
She said she had to catch a flight home at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon because the evening flights were booked. However, her afternoon flight caused her to miss her drawing class, which runs until 5:30 p.m.
"It did bother me, but I guess I have to deal with it," said Farris, an illustration major. "I like the class a lot, and I have make-up work to do."
She said she would have flown out of Kansas City on Wednesday morning if her hall had remained open.
International students living in one of the halls that will close could participate in the Betty Grimwood Thanksgiving Homestay Program, an International Student Service program that matches first-year international students with families across the state for either the entire break or Thanksgiving Day.
Christian Lutz, Overland Park graduate student and International Student Services assistant, said 31 students were participating in the program.
Other students, including Marilena Neocleous, Cyprus junior, chose to stay in town with friends.
Neocleous said she would be going to Kansas City for the week to stay with her friend's family. She said the hall closing was inconvenient because she had to find a place to stay for only four days.
She said this would be the third Thanksgiving that she found a friend to stay with.

"Even though it's stressful, the people in charge would have to stay here if they kept the hall open," Neocleous said. "And that would be inconvenient for them, especially if they wanted to spend time with their families."
Turkey isn't tradition for everyone
By Emily Hughey writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
When the pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving, they probably didn't have tofu on the menu.
Now, however, Thanksgiving has come to be celebrated by nonmeat eaters, and some vegetarian students return home for Thanksgiving and find a meat-oriented meal they politely must deny.
Nichole Salters, Frankenmuth, Mich. senior, became a vegetarian five years ago, but she said she still faced comments from her carnivorous parents.
"They're supportive, but they think I kind of silly," Salters said. "My mom and dad are still always asking me 'Do you want some turkey?' I just say 'no thank you.'"
Chad Belton, Salina senior, said he met the same gibes when he switched to vegetarianism four years ago but, for the most part, his family was supportive.
"It was weird at first," said Belton, who still eats fish. "My mom got it right away, but my grandparents are from very rural Kansas where there's lots of meat. Grandpa got this really worried look on his face and said 'Will you still eat fish?' I said 'Yeah, Grandpa, we'll still go fishing together."
Despite the American culture's focus on Thanksgiving turkey, both Salters and Belton said they never went hungry on Thanksgiving because there always was plenty to eat.
Nancy O'Connor, vegetarian and nutrition educator at the Community Mercantile Co-Op, 901 Mississippi St., said plenty of foods were available to vegetarians for Thanksgiving.
"A vegetarian can sit down and eat everything else but meat," O'Connor said. "There are also Turkunkeys. They're tofu instead of a bird."
Other popular dishes include tofu pot pies and vegetarian casseroles.
For vegetarians at meat-centered tables, O'Connor said, it is important to be gracious and not offend anyone when refusing turkey.
"Holidays like this can be a contention, especially for someone going home as a new vegetarian," O'Connor said. "It's very important not to be righteous about it because it doesn't facilitate tolerance and understanding."
O'Connor, author of *The Rolling Prairie Cookbook* recommends that vegetarians bring their own dish to the table with the consent

Weight gain adds heavy load during holidays
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Amber Stuever
From Thanksgiving gravy to Christmas candies and New Year's champagne, 'tis the season for weight gain for many Americans.
Beginning with this week's Thanksgiving meal, students may see an increase in stuffing, not only on the table, but also under their belts.
Ann Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health Center dietitian, said many people gained weight from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day. College students, however, may be even more apt to gain weight because of their longer holiday breaks.
"A lot more food is accessible around that time of year, and you end up splurging around the holiday season," said Erin McCall, Tulsa freshman. "There's all those pies and candies that you don't always get. You kind of ignore that all those calories are in there."
tured fast-paced lifestyle to a slow, relaxed pace. It isn't just that their eating habits change, and they're exposed to more high-fat foods, but their activity level often times decreases a great deal."
The weight gain can come from several sources, whether it's exchanging a fast-paced lifestyle for long days sleeping or indulging in edible holiday traditions.
For many students, however, the weight gain starts before the holiday break. Goodie baskets sent from parents and late-night finals snacking add calories. Some students also deal with finals stress by eating more.
"People tend to either overeat or underate under stress," Chapman said. "A lot of people use food to soothe their stress, so as their stress level increases, they find themselves overeating."
Nicki Bowen, Overland Park sophomore, said her family added wine and dessert to holiday meals.
"Both of those add calories to the meal," she said.
When finals end, the celebration

often begins, also contributing to weight gain.
"There's more of that mentality that, I deserve this, or I worked so hard I'm going to eat all I want and not worry twice about it," Chapman said. "A lot of them do follow that practice, and then it catches up on them after the holidays are over, and they get on the scale, and they are five or seven pounds heavier."
Watch your portion sizes. You can give in to Aunt Bertha's
Chapman offered several suggestions on ways to overcome the battle of the holiday bulge.
double chocolate fudge pie as
long as you limit yourself to a small slice, not the whole pie.
Keep exercising or start exercising. It'll not only burn the calories from those gravy-soaked mashed potatoes, but it also will decrease stress that can lead to overeating.
Don't fast before a big meal. You may overeat to the point of a belt buckle adjustment after dinner.
Watch your boozing. A 6 oz. glass of wine contains 110-120 calories. And worse, small doses of alcohol can lead to an increased appetite.
■ Get out of bed or off the couch. Try to keep a normal sleep pattern and a decent level of activity during the holiday breaks whether it's just going shopping or seeing a movie with friends.
- Substitute foods. Use two egg whites for a whole egg. Use low-fat versions of mayonnaise, cheese, sour cream or cream cheese.
De-emphasize food. Focus on the meaning of the holidays, not just the dinner menu.

Holiday travelers should prepare for bad weather
By Todd Halsted
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The highways may be dangerous this Thanksgiving break if unassuming travelers do not take the necessary precautions.
The Kansas Turnpike Authority said the Wednesday before Thanksgiving experienced the heaviest traffic of the year, with nearly 123,000 vehicles compared to the Wednesday average of 81,000 vehicles.
Lisa Callahan, public relations director for the authority, said the
busiest period of the day was in the late afternoon and early evening.
"Drivers should take breaks every now and then," Callahan said. "And they have the perfect opportunity with free coffee being offered by Hardee's and EZ Go on the Turnpike."
Both businesses are participating in a Kansas program to encourage drivers to take breaks.
She said additional toll plazas, collectors and troopers would be on hand to assist travelers.
John Woynick, meteorologist for the National Weather System in Topeka, said the weather had done
a complete turn around.
"We went from being high and dry to thunderstorms knocking on your door," Woynick said.
He said students should watch the weather forecast before traveling and prepare their cars as was pertinent.
Sherien Rouhani, St. Louis senior, said she and her friends always made sure the car was safe before heading home.
"Every year we change the oil and take other precautions to make sure the car is safe," she said. "We never leave after the sun sets, and call our parents before driving home."
He said that travelers headed

could encounter snow or thunderstorms," Woynick said. "If they are driving through parts of Wisconsin or Minnesota they should prepare for winter driving."
And if students are heading west they should see clear skies with snow in Colorado ending in the early morning hours today.
And the best advice?
"Everybody, from the kids in the backseat to adults in the front, should buckle-up," Callahan said.

Coach Allen to start recruiting trips
By Mike Miller sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
It's been three days since Kansas' season ended with a 31-28 win against Iowa State, and Kansas coach Terry Allen isn't ready to speculate on a bowl game next year. But he is ready to concentrate on next year's roster.
He has 10 recruiting trips scheduled before winter break and plans to spend time searching junior colleges for seven to nine players who could contribute right away.
Then, before national signing day on Feb.2, he wants to have 15 high school players ready to come to Kansas next fall.
Allen was mum as to whether those recruits and returning starters will carry the Jayhawks to a bowl game.
"Let's not start that already," Allen said.
Speculation could have been what got the Jayhawks into trouble this year. Before the season, Allen said this was the year the 'Hawks needed to have success in the football program.
Thev needed to go to a bowl game.
But the bar was in fact too high for the Jayhawks, who at 5-7, needed two more wins to qualify for a bowl game. Playing an extra game against Notre Dame didn't help matters, but it was the 41-13 loss to San Diego State that put a damper on the Jayhawks' season.
"We can all point to San Diego State as easily the low point of the season," Allen said.
"But the highlight was how the players reacted to that."
Kansas would play its best football of
the season against Big 12 Conference opponents, leading against ranked teams Texas A&m and Nebraska, and finishing with three times as many Big 12 victories as last year.
Against Big 12 opponents, Kansas ended the season ranked second in team rushing and fifth in rushing defense — drastic improvements from last season when Kansas was dead last in the NCAA in rushing defense and near the bottom in rushing

If all walk-ons were like Michael Chandler, college football would be filled with respectful, hard-working football players.
But they'd be slow, too.
"He's not the fastest guy in the world, but he's a leader and plays as hard as anybody," wide receiver Harrison Hill said.
Chandler, a senior wide receiver who played his last game as a Jayhawk on Saturday, is a former walk-on who went from the scout team to tie for 10th all time on the Kansas career reception list. His teammates respect him perhaps more than any other person on the team. He has been a senior co-captain, someone who Coach Terrie Allen could rely on for leadership and a big catch.
"Mike's been through a lot," Allen said. "But he's the type of guy that you depend on in your program."
A lot has been made of Chandler and what he has been through the last year, but with good reason.
He was shot in the groin in February at his apartment by one of three assailants, who still are unidentified. His mother died a few days after he caught a touchdown pass against Notre Dame on Aug. 28, making that time both sweet and difficult.
If the personal tribulations weren't enough, he has played with an assortment of injuries this year and had to deal with playing out of position most of the year because three Jayhawk receivers were
injured during the season. He has handled all of it with grace.
It's those attributes that endear Chandler to not only his teammates but to the media, too. He's articulate and well-spoken. Hardly aspects of a typical football player, but that's the point — he's really not.
Beat writers from The Kansas City Star and the Topeka Capital-Journal thanked him after Saturday's 31-28 win against Iowa State for the time he's given them the last four years. He has been the subject of numerous articles in local and regional newspapers, praising his perseverance and dedication. It's almost as though sportswriters — who some might say often are both cynical and overly critical of the teams they cover — enjoyed talking to him for not only the insights he provided, but also because he's a good guy.
Chandler — regularly requested for interviews by writers after games and at news conferences — sat at a news conference last week before the Iowa State game and was asked if he would miss all the attention from football and what he would do without it.
"It's kind of bittersweet, you know," he said. "It'll be nice having some freedom in my off time, but I'll miss all of this."
But he'll miss playing football more.
"I don't know what the future holds, but this is probably my last game," he said.
Chandler, an economics major, has dreams of playing professional football. Whether it's the NFL, Canadian Football League or NFL Europe — but he doesn't want to think about that

Women's basketball team to head to Alaska
By Melinda Weaver

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team will spend its Thanksgiving in Anchorage, Alaska, for the Cars/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. The No. 19 Jayhawks will open the tournament at 11 p.m. against Northern Arizona, a team that finished 14-14 last season and lost both of its exhibition games this season.
Assistant coach Pam DeCosta said that the key to defeating Northern Arizona was playing tough defense.
"They are a very fundamental team," DeCosta said. "We need to play well defensively because they run their offense very well. We just need to take our time and run our offense and run a disciplined defense that will put a lot of pressure on them."
"Kansas possesses great athleticism and perimeter shooting," Sanders said. "It is a very, very strong team that will challenge us in many different ways — on the break, in the post, on the perimeter, in the half court. Playing a top-20 team can only help us; we have nothing to lose. Our team is very much looking forward to playing such a high-caliber team because Kansas is at the level we want to be down the road. We may as well measure ourselves to see where we stand."
Northern Arizona returns three starters from that team, junior guard Kristi Forman, sophomore guard Kara Kleinhenz and sophomore center Anna Sturing. Sophomore forward Bridjette Wickham also started half of the games.
Kansas is coming off a 70-56 season-opening victory Saturday against Houston at Hofheinz Pavilion.
Despite the team's troubles, Northern Arizona coach Meg Sanders said they were excited to play against a top team such as Kansas.
last season.
The Lumberjacks will be playing without Sturing, however, who led the team in scoring, minutes and steals last season. Sturing fractured the thumb in her shooting hand at practice Wednesday and is projected to be out four to six weeks.
Both senior forward Lynn Pride and junior forward Jaclyn Johnson fouled out in the last five minutes of the game, but four players scored in double figures.
Senior guard Suzi Raymant led the team with 16 points and both junior forward Brooke Reves and junior point guard Jennifer Jackson added 13 points.
Reves and Johnson both put together their third career double-doubles. Reves grabbed 11 rebounds, and Johnson recorded 10 points and 13 rebounds.

aggressive," Washington said. "In the tournament, we need to continue to try to stay in our offense and be patient. We have to play our game."
If Kansas wins, it will play either Louisville or Alaska-Anchorage at 5:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving. The losers of the first two games will play in the consolation match at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
For all seven students who still haven't left for the Thanksgiving holiday, I present the 1999 Turkey Awards.
Last year, I gave out the Wojo Awards, awards of shame for all things I deemed bad in college athletics, named after all-time annoying former Duke point guard Steve Wojciechowski. This year, we're leaving Wojo alone and giving turkeys away instead, in honor of the holiday.

on your own flag team's flags or on each other if you have so much angst to deal with.
The "You call them opponents, we call them turkeys" Turkey Award goes to Bill Snyder and the Kansas State Wildcats. Consistent scheduling of weak opponents gets them snubbed by the Bowl Championship Series every week. Consistent losses in big games show that they're only hurting themselves. A 66-0 score is impressive only when the opponents have actually scored in previous games this season.
The "We're not in Manhattan anymore" Turkey Award goes to Johnno Lazetich, K-State fullback, for writing names of towns on the medical tape he'd wrap around his wrist during football games. He wasn't looking for inspiration; he was looking for an answer. After a few too many concussions, Johnno began having trouble remembering what town he was playing in. With the name on his wrist, he could take another hit to the head, come out of the game, and when the team trainers asked him the age-old question "Where are you?" he could cheat and read the answer.
The "Sinking turkey" Turkey Award goes to Gary Kempf, coach of the swimming team. A recent Kansan story revealed that some former swimmers like his coaching methods about as much as they like swimming while wearing concrete shoes.
The "Dressing isn't free for any turkey" Turkey Award goes to Florida State receiver Peter Warrick, who went from having a Heisman Trophy winning season to having a Heist-Man winning season after he and a teammate stole hundreds of dollars in clothing from a department store. Maybe he wanted to make sure he looked good for the photo opportunity of him and the trophy.
The "Tell Dan Marino to hold the laces out" Turkey Award goes to Joe Garcia, place-kicker for the Kansas Jayhawks. Joe had a rough season, connecting on only 7 of 18 field goal attempts. This gave Coach Terry Allen new enthusiasm to recruit place-kickers. Maybe we could ask Ace Ventura to contact Ray Finkle, who still has a year of eligibility left.
The "That annoying Chihuahua finally pushed me over the edge"
Turkey Award goes to Dion Rayford. While going for another sack, Dion tried to force himself through the Taco Bell drive-through window. The media attention this story drew makes Dion the most well-known Taco Bell customer to date. Pity that he's forbidden to visit his favorite restaurant now.
Congrats to all the winners.
Everyone have a happy turkey day.

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is an 8.
Travel looks good. You may have to do a few errands close to home, too. Your team backs you up, and maybe even comes along on the journey. Are you going on a road trip? No problem. You're looking good. It'll work out fine.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
You're most likely thinking about money. How to make more and spend less? If you're not already in a creative line of work, maybe you should find a job like that. When you're happy, saving comes easily. Do what you love today, and the money will follow.
Gemini: Today is a 9.
You could have a successful day. There could be a slight ego battle, however. The other person tries to teach you something that you can't see. You're going to be amazed and amused when you figure out what it is. This will be fun, so don't fight it!
Cancer; Today is a 6.
Today serving others is a key factor, as is serving yourself. Are you caring for yourself as well as you're caring for others? Listen to somebody else's advice about what you should do for your own well-being. Put in the correction.
Leo: Todav is a 9.
Your focus is on love. A lot of it's going around.
Everybody wants your attention, and that could cause problems. They're good problems though, so you'll solve them all easily.
Virgo: Today is a 5.
More work may come in, and that's good. It means you get to work overtime, and that could be good, too. Unfortunately, the family misses you! Promise you'll play with them soon and schedule it in!
Libra: Today is an 8.
Education is your upcoming theme. You're interested ed in so many topics that you may not know which to study first. You could be highly stimulated, and also confused! Make an outline first so you can make sense of all this!
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
If you're trying to borrow, you may be able to get some of it from an older relative. Or, maybe you can increase your income somehow. Ask the one who signs your checks. You may encounter difficulties getting a loan, but if you persevere, you can succeed.
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You're in a growth phase. You're taking on more responsibility, and maybe even getting more freedom. Self-expression is a function of responsibility, you know. Go ahead and stir things up. Even if a controversy erupts, it'll be interesting.
You have to pay attention on different levels. There's the hands-on stuff, of course, but there's also a lot of wheeling and dealing going on behind the scenes. You can do well, but only if you watch the overview, as well as the details. Enjoy!
Aquarius: Today is an 8.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Romance, games and children are in the spotlight for the next few weeks. You might get to take a trip soon, too. Take along the whole gang if you can. You may not be able to do this all day, but have as much fun as you can.

Allen eager for starting receivers to return
offense.
Allen couldn't help but smile at the thought of the improvement, coupled with 16 returning starters, including most of the skill position players and three of the Jayhawks' fastest wide receivers.
"With the speed returning, if you will, I feel comfortable that we will be able to throw the football." Allen said.
Another year of development for quarterback Dylen Smith will be beneficial as well. Smith couldn't practice with the team until August because he was fulfilling requirements to be
able to attend Kansas. He spent the rest of the season familiarizing himself with the Kansas offense.
"I was pleased with how I did this year, but I think next year with more time I should be even better," Smith said.
Despite being thrown into the offense, Smith completed one of the most successful years for a Kansas quarterback since Mark Williams in 1995. He finished with 1,599 passing yards and 12 touchdown passes, the best totals since Williams was part of 10-2 Kansas team that won the Aloha Bowl.
The emergence of running back
Moran Norris and two redshirt running backs Reggie Duncan and Harold McClendon will make the running back position even deeper than this year, when the 'Hawks had four running backs with more than 400 yards for the first time since 1991.
In all, Allen said it was an up-and-down season, but progression toward becoming a better football team made Allen wish that in a way, the season still was going.
"If we would have been able to have about six preseason games and then start the season, then we probably could have been a bowl team," he said.

now. He has graduation to think about — and if nothing else, finding a real job.
"I'm not ready for that," he said. "I'll have to start out slow and work into that kind of thinking." And though this season didn't end with a bowl game or a victory against Kansas State — two things Chandler said he wanted out of this season more than anything else — he said he hopes his legacy, and that of the senior class, continues into next year's
football team.
"I hope that once it's over, we're seen as a tough bunch of kids," he said. "Maybe we didn't have the most talent, but we played tough. I think that pushed people to work a little bit harder."
He ends his career with 82 career receptions, tied for 10th all time at Kansas. He is 15th in career reception yardage with 1,050 yards. Chandler said he was happy he could leave with his name in the record books, but he knows some of those marks may not last.
"I told Harrison Hill that he ain't 10th all time yet," Chandler said. "But he'll probably be up there. This group of guys we have right now, they're going to do some things."
Chandler credits football for his sanguine attitude toward his difficulties.
"It makes you stronger and makes you persevere and overcome those bad things," he said. "I mean, for everything that's happened to me, I have no regrets."

This year's tournament marks the second time in the Roy Williams era that Kansas has traveled to Alaska, and the trip north reunites Williams with the place where he made his debut as coach of the Jayhawks in 1988.

That year, the Jayhawks lost in the final to Seton Hall, 92-81. This year, however, the 'Hawks appear to be the strongest team in a field that includes Xavier, Louisville, Georgia Tech, Washington, Grambling State and the host team, Alaska-Anchorage.
Alaska-Arizona Kansas' meeting with Georgia will be the third in school history. The Jayhawks won both of the previous meetings 1992's season opener at Allen Fieldhouse 76-65 and again a year later at the Georgia Dome, 86-79.
While Kansas has spent practice preparing for Georgia, some of the Jayhawk players are excited about the trip to Alaska.
Led by junior Adrian Jones' 16 points and nine boards and fellow junior Anthony Evans' 11 points and eight rebounds, the Bulldogs may offer Kansas a tough test
This year's Georgia squad is 0-1 after a hard-fought game Friday night at North Carolina State 64-63. The Bulldogs lost on a Wolfpack three-pointer with 56 seconds left.
"Alaska and Hawaii — those are places people don't get a chance to go too often," sophomore guard Jeff Bosche said. "It's a really appealing opportunity."
Tearily appearing Nick Bradford agreed with Boschee and said that he was also looking forward to the rest he would get on
Williams, however, is looking at the trip simply as another job adventure with only one thing in mind — basketball.
the trip.
one thing to do.
"I don't dog sled, I don't snowmobile, I'm going up there to do a job," Williams said.
"I told my wife I'd give her an hour a day, but after that I'm there to focus on winning basketball games."
As is common in several holiday and early-season tournaments, the Shootout will feature the use of two experimental rules. First, on the 10th foul and thereafter in both halves, the team fouled will have the option to take the ball out of bounds or shoot the traditional two free throws. Kansas was 15 of 28 from the free-throw
line in its season opening win against Fairfield Friday night.
Second, only six players will be allowed in the free-throw lane on all foul shots instead of the current limit of eight.
Thursday night's game will be televised on ESPN, and because of the time difference, it will begin around 11 p.m. C.S.T. If the Jayhawks beat Georgia and continue to win, they will continue to play at 11 p.m. if they lose to Georgia, the second round game will not be televised and will begin at 2 p.m.
2 p.m.
A Jayhawk win against Georgia would mean they would play the winner of the Xavier/Louisville game on Friday.

The Kansas volleyball team's last two matches of the season are now coated with the "must-win" label.
That label was branded in brutal fashion Sunday night, when the Jayhawks lost 3-2 to No. 18 Kansas State at the Horesei Family Athletics Center.
Kansas, 17-12 overall and 8-10 in the Big 12 Conference, had the Wildcats on the ropes for most of the night, but couldn't finish them off after winning two of the first three games and leading 6-0 in the fourth game.
ng it on both sides." It was up and down on both sides." Kansas senior middle blocker Amanda Reves said.
Because the Jayhawks weren't the ones standing in the end, their NCAA tournament chances nearly have been toppled.
Going into the K-State match, the Jayhawks knew they needed to end their season with several victories to earn a tournament berth.
Now that the Jayhawks have fumbled a golden opportunity to beat a nationally-ranked opponent, a road win against Iowa State tomorrow and a home win against Colorado on Saturday are crucial.
"Now we're at the point where we're starting to run out of matches," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "So obviously we have to win at Iowa State, and we have to win big against Colorado."
Beachard said that if the Jayhawks could finish the season at 19-12 overall and 10-10 in the Big 12, there still

Who: Kansas vs. Colorado When: 7 p.m. Saturday
**Where:** Horeisi Family Athletics Center
A win against Iowa State is almost a given as long as Kansas shows up. The Cyclones haven't won since Sept. 4, are 2-23 overall and are 0-18 in the Big 12.
12. That leaves nationally-ranked Colorado standing in the way of a possible Kansas tournament berth. The match is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horeisi Center.
"We're going to give it all we got," Reves said.
That won't be easy considering the Buffaloes have already torpedoed the Jayhawks once this season — a 3-0 win Oct. 20 in Boulder.
The Buffalooes are tied for fifth in the Big 12 standings at 11-7 and are 17-10 overall. Colorado is led by setter Kelly Campbell and outside hitter Sonja Nielsen, who had 17 kills in its first meeting with Kansas.

The Kansas swimmers and divers battled the nation's best this weekend, but they came up short.
both the men's and women's teams placed fourth out of four teams at the Northwestern Invitational. Every opponent except the Northwestern men was ranked in the top 25.
The men finished well behind the rest of the pool, and the women's squad had a late burst but found third place to be just out of reach.
“There was a star-studded field this weekend,” coach Gary Kempf said. “Almost all of them were top 10 to 15 teams in the country. Our girls put on a late charge and tried to catch SMU, but we just couldn't catch them. I was very pleased with them overall, though.”
The women gained some strokes as underclassmen led the way. Freshman Gwen Haley finished fourth in the 200 breaststroke and 200 butterfly, freshman Julie Ottmar was second in the 100 backstroke and sophomore Sarah Holke was second in the 100 butterfly.
"This was a good opportunity, especially for the underclassmen, to see what kind of speed is out there to race against," junior Carolyn Grevers said.
Carlton Gerrard two women posted career-best marks. Grevers swam a 51.59 while capturing third in the 50 freestyle, and sophomore diver Patti Stringham posted a career-best score of 344.20 while placing fifth in one-meter diving.
"I was really happy with my one-meter," Stringham said. "I've never had a consistent diving meet since I've been at Kansas, and all of my requiled were consistent."
Kansas earned most of its points in the
distance races. Freshmen Beth Schryer and Lyndsay DeVaney placed first and third, respectively, in the 1,650 freestyle race. The two were keys to the team's point production, Kempf said.
KU SWIMMING
"We swim distance very well," Kempf said.
"Distance is definitely a strength on the women's side. Schryer and DeVaney swam really well, and they do a great job for us."
The men's squad didn't fair as well, which Kempf attributed to a lack of numbers. Kansas took a reduced squad of 17 men to the meet while their opposition had nearly 25 swimmers. No. 14 Arizona State. No. 19 Southern Methodist and Northwestern were strides ahead of the Jayhawks, though, and Kansas trailed from start to finish.
The men didn't get pleasing overall results but found solace when many showed time improvements. Senior Brian Klapper and junior Jon Reyes gave season-best performances in the 500 freestyle, and junior Jason Carr set a personal best in the 50 freestyle. Freshman Brian Soria placed third in the 1650 freestyle.
The bright spots also included junior Chad Sunderland, who won the 100 breaststroke, and sophomore Adam Hanhart, who placed fourth in the three-meter diving competition and second in the one-meter.
I thought they competed real well," Kempf said. "Arizona State and Southern Methodist are just a step ahead of us right now. We definitely took a step up in our performance though."

Giving thanks for family and football
By Jason Walker sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Thanksgiving Day is a day for millions of Americans to feast, rest and visit with family members. But some add another item to that list, one that is just as important to them as the traditional turkey — football.
This year there are two NFL games scheduled for Thanksgiving Day. The Dallas Cowboys meet the Miami Dolphins, and the Chicago Bears will visit the Detroit Lions. Dallas and Detroit are perennial Thanksgiving Day participants, to the delight of Cowboy and Lion fans

across the country.
Tony Harris, Dayton, Ohio graduate student, said he was looking forward to spending the holiday in Cincinnati with his wife's family.
"We have the usual turkey and trimmings," he said. "And then we spend the day huddling around the TV watching Dallas and Detroit. It's something of a tradition."
Harris said he didn't necessarily
like either of the teams, but that wasn't true of all the members of his family.
"My wife is a Dallas fan, so of course I can't be," he said. "For me, Thanksgiving means family and the Lions."
Jordan Cullor, Fort Scott freshman, said not only did he watch football every Thanksgiving, but he played it as well.
Some holiday football traditions more than just television.
"I play sometimes with my friends or sometimes with my brothers," he said. "Football is my favorite sport, and it's a big part of my Thanksgiving break."
Cullor said that he usually saw his cousin Craig Domann, a former Kansas football player, at family Thanksgiving gatherings. He said that Domann always was rooting for the Jayhawks to make it to a bowl game.
He said he and his family always teased Domann when the 'Hawks did not make a bowl game.
Cullor said that he planned to study for finals during Thanksgiving break but that wouldn't keep him from catching a few football games.
"You have to keep time out for fun," he said.

Conference teams' fates not yet determined

The stakes are high this weekend in the Big 12 Conference, as six conference teams will be in action on the regular season's final weekend
And a bowl game will be on the nine for Oklahoma State when the Cowboys play the Sooners Saturday in Norman, Okla.
A spot in the Big 12 championship game will be at stake Friday in Boulder, Colo., where first-place Nebraska will play Colorado.
In-state bragging rights will be up for grabs at the Texas-Texas A&M game Friday in College Station, Texas.
Texas at Texas A&M
It's a big Thanksgiving weekend in the Big 12, and a preview of these games follows.
This game is being played in the wake of a tragedy on the College Station campus that killed 12 Texas A&M students. Last week, coaches from both schools admitted the
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
tragedy made it difficult to concentrate on football.
"The importance of a football game pales in comparison to this tragedy," Aggies coach R.C. Slocum said. "Our only concern right now is for those students, their families and friends. All in our Aggie family are in a state of shock."
Texas coach Mack Brown echoed Slocum's sentiments.
"It makes you want to cry," Brown said. "I can promise you nobody here is thinking about football. Our thoughts and prayers are with those kids and their families and all of the people at Texas A&M."
There will be a moment of silence before the game in memory of the victims.
Nebraska at Colorado
Nebraska or Colorado
By virtue of Kansas State's 66-0
rout of Missouri last Saturday, the Wildcats eliminated Colorado from the North Division race and put additional pressure on Nebraska.
If the Buffalooes pull off an upset on Friday, Kansas State would head to San Antonio — site of the Big 12 Championship — while Nebraska would be left wondering what might have been.
Nebraska is No. 3 in the Bowl Championship Series standings and searching for a berth in the National Championship game at the Sugar Bowl, while the Buffaloes appear to be headed to one of the Big 12's lesser bowls such as the Insight.com Bowl or the Independence Bowl.
Colorado hasn't beaten the Cornhuskers since 1991, and Nebraska's game plan has not changed a lot. Nebraska still beats teams with the option attack, something that impresses Buffaloes defensive tackle Shane Cook.
"Every year, it's the same thing that we've watched on film," Cook told The Denver Post. "They're so

good, why change anything about it?"
This annual in-state rivalry has additional meaning this season, as both teams could be headed to bowl games for the first time since 1988, when the Sooners played in the Orange Bowl and the Cowboys played in the Holiday Bowl.
Oklahoma, which already has the required six wins, is looking to improve its standing with bowl representatives.
For Oklahoma State to qualify for a bowl game, the Cowboys must beat the Sooners, which would give the team its sixth win.

Club soccer team happy with play despite losing
By Jason Walker
Kansan sportswriter
The tournament was held in Statesboro, Ga., and the Jayhawks competed with nine other teams. They ended the tournament with a record of 0-2-1.
The University of Kansas women's club soccer team still has Georgia on their minds this week after competing in the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association collegiate club soccer tournament.
Vanessa Stucky, Newton junior and midfielder on the team, said she felt the team played well but just couldn't get the job done.
"We got off to a rough start because we played early in the morning and it was cold," she said. "But we still played with a lot of heart."
The tournament started on Thursday for the Jayhawks as they played two games. They played North Carolina State first, losing 1-0, then were edged by Georgia Southern, 2-1.
On Friday, the Jayhawks played Colorado State, the defending tournament champions. The game ended in a 1-1 tie, which meant that Kansas didn't qualify for the championship bracket.
Sucky said that although the team's record wasn't the best, she felt the trip overall was a success.
"We weren't overmatched," she said. "We could have beaten the teams that we played but things didn't work out. But the trip was a great bonding experience for the team."
Lauren Heyward, Leawood senior and club president, said she was pleased with the way the club performed against some tough competition
"This year was the first time in my four years on the team that we have come away with anything other than a loss," she said. "I'm really proud of them."
Heyward said the tough competition took its toll on the women's stamina.
"The last game everyone was so exhausted that they almost collapsed," she said. "But I think this gave us a big boost of confidence. It shows that we're making strides in the program."
This was the fourth year in a row the women's club soccer team has competed in the NIRSA tournament. Stucky said the team was planning to go to Austin, Texas for the tournament again next year.
Gretzky inducted into the Hall of Fame along with referees
- Edited by Jennifer Roush
Hockey legend accepted ultimate honor for career while remaining humble
The Associated Press
TORONTO — Wayne Gretzky handled the ultimate tribute to his unparalleled hockey career — induction in the Hall of Fame — with the same boy-next-door humility that characterized his playing days.
In typical Gretzky fashion, The Great One tried to share the limelight with his two fellow inductees — former referee Andy Van Hellemond and former referee in-chief Scotty Morrison — when they received their Hall of Fame blazers and rings at a ceremony jammed with journalists Monday.
Gretzky insisted that Morrison take the center seat at the interview table and called the honor of joining his conductors in the Hall "pretty special."
Such gestures have made Gretzky a
national hero in Canada, honored and loved as the greatest to ever play the game.
When asked what made him the most dominant player of all time, Gretzy credited his teammates and a passion that drove him to always want more from himself.
"I felt like I'd never done enough. If I had three goals, I wanted five goals. If I had seven points, I wanted to get the eighth point." he said. "I kept going every night, played 80 games every year as hard as I could, whether it was Oct. 1 or April 1.
"Maybe that's why I was able to have the records that I did eventually get," said the holder of 61 NHL records whose trademark No. 99 was retired after his final game.
mendously because it's a great game.
"Nothing can replace hockey," he said. "I wish I could still play and I miss it tre-
He longs for the camaraderie and competition left behind by retirement, but said his decision to stop playing is final.
The 38-year-old master left an extraordinary mark on the game, with four Stanley Cup championships, almost every conceivable scoring record and winning every major NHL award multiple times.
"But I said this before: I was going to retire one time, one time officially and I'm officially retired. I probably miss the game more than the game."
more than the game misses Wayne Gretzky."
His legacy is evident, on and off the ice. The NHL now features increasing numbers of swift-skating, highly skilled European players who prospered under the flowing, puck-control style played by Gretzky and his Edmonton Oiler teams of the 1980s that won four championships in five seasons.
PETER KING
Gretzky: Tried to share spotlight at induction ceremony
Eight NHL teams play in southern U.S. cities formerly considered unsuitable for a winter game such as hockey, due in part to Gretzky's seven-plus years in Los Angeles and the popularity he helped spread.
In conjunction with Gretzky's induction,
the Hall of Fame opened its largest single exhibit, a 2,300-square-foot collection of Gretzky memorabilia that includes the skates he wore in his final game on April 18, the net into which he scored his league-record 802nd goal and even his picture as a smiling youngster with idol Gidow Howe.
The Hall waived the normal three-year waiting period for the 10th time in honor of Gretzky and accredited 175 journalists for the ceremony.
Both Van Hellemond, who worked 19 straight Stanley Cup finals, and Morrison, credited with building the Hall of Fame into one of Canada's leading tourist attractions, joked they were now the answer to the trivia question of who was inducted with No. 99 in 1999.
Morrison acknowledged Gretzky's humble approach, telling how Gretzky rejected a plan to move the ceremony to a bigger venue because he wanted the same ceremony in the same place as those before him. That came as no surprise to one of the onlookers, Wayne's father, Walter.
"It's just nice to know that Wayne has turned out to be such a great individual," Walter Gretzky said. "His hockey achievements are one thing, but he's also a very fine person."
When asked if the NHL should name a trophy for him, Gretzky deferred to his elders.
"Before anything needs to be done about Wayne Gretzky, we need to address people like Gordie Howe and Bobby Orr," he said. "I'm wade down the totel mark on that one."
He called his first Stanley Cup win, with Edmonton in 1984, his greatest memory, and losing in the finals as a Los Angeles King to Montreal in 1993 as the greatest regret. Traded to St. Louis in 1996, he signed as a free-agent with the New York Rangers the next season, and his career ended on April 18 with a team that failed to make the playoffs.

Co-pilot not to blame in crash, Egyptian official says
Minister says investigation could take as long as a year
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt—Egypt's transport minister sought yesterday to absolve EgyptAir employees of blame for the crash of Flight 990, telling Parliament that human mistakes did not cause the disaster.
Ibrahim el-Dumeiri also criticized speculative reports that a suicidal co-pilot forced down the plane. However, he did not say what Egyptian authorities he thought sent the Boeing 767 plunging into the Atlantic on Oct. 31, killing all 217 people aboard.
El-Dumeiri's report to Parliament, carried in part by Egypt's official Middle East News Agency, was the government's first assessment of the circumstances surrounding the crash and followed a storm of protests in Egypt over the suicide scenario that emerged from some sources in the American-led investigation.
He also criticized U.S. media for reports that cockpit conversation pointed toward a suicide by one of the Egyptian co-pilots, Gameel El-Batouty.
The transport minister said it might take a year or more to get to the truth about why the flight plummeted. While he said Egypt was not discounting any theories, he sought to distance Egyptian crew and maintenance workers from blame.
El-Batutoy, he noted, did not say the words of the "shehada," a prayer recited by Muslims when it is clear that death is imminent. Not saying the prayer could indicate the pilots thought they could save the plane.
Instead, elDumeiri quoted the co-pilot as saying: "In the name of God, I put my trust in God."
"This is something we Egyptians say whenever we start anything. And when terror filled the cockpit, the phrase 'We put our trust in God' was repeated," he said.
El-Dumeiri told Parliament that more Egyptian experts, including a psychologist and a voice specialist, would go to the United States to join the investigation.
In Parliament, lawmakers echoed the popular conspiracy theories circulating among Cairo residents and Egyptian media, some of which suggest that U.S. authorities are blaming the crew to cover sabotage, mechanical troubles or Israeli involvement in some sort of plot against Egypt.
One legislator claimed that 393 Egyptian military officers aboard Flight 990 were the target
of unspecified assailants.
Soraya Lubna, another member of Parliament, said there was no doubt about the presence of a conspiracy. She added that Egypt must ensure it was fully participating in the investigation.
The FBI, meanwhile, has sent agents to Egypt to participate in the crash investigation, with the full concurrence of Egyptian authorities, an American diplomat said yesterday.
The diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the FBI was assisting in the investigation, which the diplomat stressed was not a criminal case. The acknowledgment was the first by authorities that FBI officials have come from abroad to look into the crash.
At Egypt's request, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has delayed handing the lead role in the probe to the FBI to run a criminal investigation.
Memorial services held in Texas for victims of bonfire accident
The Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION Texas— Thousands of classmates, families and friends gathered in churches across Texas on Sunday, quietly sobbing and praying for the 12 people killed when a four-story pyramid of logs collapsed at Texas A&M University.
"I'm here to help the Aggie family from what has been a tragic situation in the state of Texas," said a somber Gov. George W. Bush before an evening memorial service at Central Baptist Church near the campus. "It is a time to pray and a time to hear the word."
The leaders of their congregations and others tried to comfort the mourners during services throughout the day, and they addressed the survivors of
Thursday's tragedy.
Local, state and federal offiicials planned to map out an investigation strategy this week to determine how the 40-foot pile collapsed. But Charles Anderson, pastor of A&M United Methodist Church, said the answers would do little to comfort those left behind.
"Answers won't hold your hand," he said. "Answers won't hold you in their arms, and answers will not sit by your bedside on a sleepless night."
Services were held in Austin for Christopher Breen, 25, an A&M graduate who had returned to help pass on the bonfire tradition. Breen's family kept the ceremony private, but in a statement recalled his love of the outdoors and thanked those who offered support.
In Katy, near Houston, a
funeral was held for Christopher Lee Heard, 19, a pre-engineering major and a 1999 graduate of the Marine Military Academy, a private military prep school in Harlingen.
Almost 100 young men in uniform from the academy and the A&M Corps of Cadets attended the service. Heard's drill instructor recalled him as a prankster who would fill boots with shaving cream. Others remembered his love of hunting and fishing.
One of seven people still hospitalized was released Sunday. Of the remaining six, two were in critical condition.
About 70 people were stacking the logs when the pile gave way. Some students were hurled from the structure; others were trapped in the shifting logs.
Bush vows to end partisan strain
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—A relaxed and composed George W. Bush offered few policy breakthroughs but plenty of confidence in his ability to win the presidency during a television interview in which he promised to work to end a climate of partisan hostility in Washington.
The GOP presidential front-runner and Texas governor touched on affirmative action, Social Security, HMO reform and other topics during the appearance Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press. Bush also said he probably would not meet with a gay group, the Log Cabin Republicans, because "I don't believe in group thought, pitting one group of people against another."
A top rival, Arizona Sen. John McCain, met recently with the group, saying the GOP is a party of inclusion in the tradition of Abraham Lincoln.
Rich Tafel, executive director of the Log Cabin Republicans, said, "He has said he would be uniter and not a divider — this is a complete contradiction of that.
"Apparently the gay vote is just too politically dangerous for him to risk losing
some of the religious right vote."
Eager to project his fitness for the Oval Office, Bush seemed confident and prepared for the questions.
It was in marked contrast to his performance Nov. 4 during a pop quiz on foreign affairs given by a political reporter at a Boston television station. Bush appeared flustered when asked to name the leaders of four current world hot spots: Chcnycha, Taiwan, India and Pakistan. He was able to give a partial response to just one, Taiwan.
A. R. Kline
Bush: Said he probably would not meet with gay Republicans
During his hourlong interview Sunday, broadcast from the Texas governor's mansion in Austin. Bush repeated themes from his foreign policy speech last week in which he criticized Russia for its brutal crackdown in Chechnya and China for its human rights abuses.
Puerto Rico trying to stop U.S. Navy's water supply
The Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A federal judge ordered the Puerto Rican government not to shut off the water to a U.S. Navy base yesterday while he considered a complaint that the military was using the water illegally.
The allegations are part of an escalating feud between the U.S. military and the Puerto Rican government, which is demanding the Navy abandon its bombing range on the outlying island of Vieques.
U. S. District Court Judge Hector Laffitte issued the order during a hearing on the dispute yesterday.
The Navy asked the court to intervene after Puerto Rican officials presented the Roosevelt Roads Naval Station, which runs the bombing range, with a $8.8 million water bill and fined it an additional $8 million.
The Natural and Environmental Resources Department alleges the Navy's permit to draw up to 3 million gallons of water daily from the Rio Blanco expired in 1965 and that it owes money for the water it has been drawing since.
Navy officials say they have been taking water from the river since 1942 and do not need a permit. They say the base applied for a permit in 1986 to cooperate with local officials but never received a response.
In October, protesters blocked the Navy's water intake for two days with sandbags and a wooden panel before police cleared them away.
Relations between the Navy and the Puerto Rican government have soured since April, when a jet practicing over Vieques dropped a bomb off target and killed a civilian security guard at the training ground.

Candle sparks fraternity fire
(USPS 650-640)
Blazing bedding sprinkler system damage house
By Chris Wristen writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Members of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity received a surprising wake-up call Tuesday morning — alarms and sirens.
Two fire trucks and an ambulance raced to the
chapter house, 1537 Tennessee St., in response to the fire alarm that sounded at 8:20 a.m.
Bill Stark, battalion chief of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, said the fire took place in a second-floor bunk room when bed sheets accidentally were pulled onto an unattended candle and ignited.
"You've got covers, a candle and a typical result," Stark said.
After the bedding lit, an emergency sprinkler system was triggered, and it aided in extinguishing the fire.
Stark said no one was injured.
Windows and doors were left open to air out the house all day Tuesday, and some ash remained on a first-floor window awning beneath the bunk room.
"One of the pledge brothers got a fire extinguisher and put (the fire) out," said Andy Bond, chapter vice president. "We executed the fire drill well, which we had practiced."
Stark said the estimated total damage was nearly $15,000 because of both fire and water damage.
—Edited by Katie Hollar
This fire was the latest in a trend of candlesparked fires in greek houses on Midwestern college campuses.
Last February, a fire at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at the University of Missouri at Rolla killed one student. In May, a University of Missouri at Columbia freshman, Dominic Passantino, died at the Sigma Chi fraternity after a burning candle ignited his bedroom.
ΑΤΩ
Firefighters carry water damage recovery equipment out of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house, 1537 Tennessee St. A candle started a small fire Tuesday morning that set off the house's sprinkler system, causing $15,000 of water damage.

BAR WARS
Lawrence City officials draw the line with new downtown bars
Story by Derek Prater
Photos by Chad Cummings
last call
It's 1:30 Sunday morning, and a wave of patrons swipes to the bar at the Granada for their last drink.
In 10 minutes they will join the crowd lifting an airplane. Some people already are on Massachusetts Street — taking smoking and working as a motley assortment of students and young people from the surrounding counties flow from Fatha J., Red Lynn Ravern, Replay Lounge, Louise's Bar Downtown, Hobart Lights and Lake City Mexican Cafe near 10th and Massachusetts streets.
In a police cruiser by the curb a Lawrence police officer also eyes the crowd.
Tonight could be a long night for officers assigned to the downtown district the water and cleanse and the crowds are ready to head home just yet. The nights is young, and down town Lawrence is alive.
Downtown is the pride and the soul of Lawrence and generations of city affairs three parts if a priority to keep the area alive and thriving. To some it especially Ku students — drive and thriving means drinking and planning which might mean thoroughly contracting acne and interfering with the balance between olive and thriving and
drink and disorderly is delicate and not everyone agrees with how the balancing act should be accomplished.
In 1994, city officials took action. They decided that there would be no more new bars and drew a line in the yard. Now they say the results speak for themselves—the balances they were looking for has been achieved.
Some people however think all the city's bar policy does is create an unfair disadvantage for some new establishments. They point to the near failure of the Brown Bear Brewing Co., 729 Massachusetts St., as a result of a bar policy that serves no real purpose.
More bars, more problems
There's no doubt that more bars now exist and more students can mean trouble in downtown Lawrence.
On September 23, the combination of crowded and alcohol led to a number of Das Huntups, 875 New Hampshire St. About 100 people refused to leave when employees began decontamination just before me a m. Closing time.
When police tried to intervene some patrons began throwing beer bottles and chunks of cinder blocks. One office was hit by a piece of cinder block. Another was punched in the face. Two men were arrested. It was the type of scene that city officials worried about, because common place it downtown went to. Since a path toward byoming an entertainment district like Kansas City Mo.'s Westport or Manhattan's Aggravate Police Chief Pat Olm, who has been within department since 1971, said the potential for violence downtown hasn't necessarily grown but the context has changed.
During the 60's and 70's social protest sparked violent cultures. Now a combination of crowds, alcohol and attitude causes problems. Olm said.
Sar George Wheeler public information officer said downtown's problems weren't limited to violence.
If run the gamit 'he said. When you have a whole bunch of people in any given area you'll have things that are related to the congestion and the number of people.
Littering, vandalism and theft have been on the rise in the last 10 years. Wheeler said.
Olin didn't have specific numbers reflecting any increase in problems downtown but said local police had felt the impact of bigger crowds.
Last year we had 102,000 calls for service which was a huge increase in calls citywide from the previous year, and downtown is clearly an active zone, he said.
In 1994 we 60 minutes accounted to use parking major revenues to pay for those odd parking police officers so that downtown could be treated as a distinct policing district.
Our activity levels downtown made us change so that now we have a dedicated district downtown in the evenings." Olin said.
Wheeler said that police assigned a vehicle specifically to the downtown district may well as a foot patrol and occasional bicycle patrol on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
The creation of a district law enforcement district for downtown has bolstered the police department's presence, Olin said.
I think that we have been able to have more impact as a result of these decisions, he said.
Downtown is more than just a place to shop eat, drink or live. It is a symbol of Lawrence's history and of the city's unique character.
Some students not so jolly about holiday hype
By Emily Hughey
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
One day it's corncupiops, fallen leaves and thankfulness. The next, in a flash, it's evergreen trees, holiday carols and talk of snowfall.
For some, the day after Thanksgiving officially begins the Christmas season.
It happens the same day every year.
"I like to enjoy one holiday at a time," Colantuono said. "I think sometimes people start celebrating Christmas before it's time. Once Thanksgiving is done, I'm ready for Christmas."
Kristen Colantuono, Leawood junior, said she welcomed the holiday season, but not until after the other holidays.
While some students appreciate the holiday hysteria, others have mixed feelings.
She said she thought some people let holiday hype get in the way of what she deemed the true meaning of this time of year.
"As long as you appreciate and understand what it's really about, I think it's perfectly fine to have fun with Christmas carols and things like that, even though some people think it takes away from the true meaning," Colantuo said. "I think the holidays have to do with your particular religious beliefs and family time."
To Sigle, the holiday season means time with family and friends at home and working overtime. She said she acquired extra working hours during the days leading up to Christmas. While she said she appreciated the extra pay, she said she hated the attitudes of some customers this time of year.
Other students think differently.

Mindy Sigle, Wichita senior and Dillons employee, said she saw the holidays from a different perspective.
first," Sigle said. "But from a marketing perspective, it gets people thinking about Christmas and shopping."
"People get crazy this time of year," Sigle said. "The closer to the holidays it gets, the meaner people get."
She said Dillons started displaying holiday paraphernalia on Halloween and continued through December. The early displays, she said, seemed sudden.

STEVENSON LAWRENCE JERUSALEM
CORRECTION
The story, "Filmmaker Documents Gays" Struggles," in the Nov. 22 issue of the Kansan incorrectly stated that Lawrence was the first city in Kansas to include sexual orientation in its human rights ordinances. Wichita, which actually was the first city, included the clause in the 1970s. The Wichita ordinance later was repealed.

Naked man appears at door of sorority
The house mother of a University of Kansas sorority woke up last Tuesday morning and found a naked man on her doorstep.
The doorbell rang at Sigma Delta Tau at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday. The house mother looked through a window and saw a college-aged man, completely nude, with a blue handbanda covering his face.
"We basically just looked at each other." she said.
She did not open the door. The man turned around and ran into a waiting Jeep, she said.
"He was probably expecting one of the girls," she said. "He was probably just as scared as I was."
The man was described as completely average.
Police reports were filed with both the KU Office of Public Safety and the Lawrence Police Department.

Med Center to get gift from former professor

The University of Kansas Medical Center will receive a $75,000 gift to establish a professorship in diagnostic radiology.
Two attorneys begin a new highway fight
Templeton, who presently teaches radiology at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, S.C., received his medical degree in 1957 from the University of Nebraska.
Arch W. Templeton, a former Med Center professor and department chairman, has included a bequest in his will to create the professorship.
Templeton was the chief of the Department of Radiology at the U.S. Naval Dispensary in Norfolk, Va. and a professor of radiology at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Missouri before coming to the Med Center.
He also has been a visiting professor at the Mayo Clinic and the University of California at Los Angeles. An author of nearly 175 papers, books and book chapters, he is a past president of the Association of University Radiologists.
Two attorneys who helped scuttle the state's proposed route for the South Lawrence Trafficway may join the fight against a plan for redirecting U.S. Highway 59.
Bruce Plenk and Bob Eye, both from Lawrence, said they are thinking about representing the Franklin-Douglas County Coalition of Concerned Citizens, a group organized to fight the proposed new route for U.S. 59 between Lawrence and Ottawa.
Kansan staff report
Eye and Plenk recently battled the Kansas Department of Transportation against the eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway.
On behalf of local environmentalists, they filed a lawsuit in federal court opposing the proposed route. A federal judge ordered the state to complete an environmental impact statement.
Officials at Haskell Indian Nations University also opposed the trafficway route, and last month they refused to change their stance, a decision that has forced KDOT to rethink its plans.
Critics of the U.S. 59 project have similar environmental concerns. KDOT officials want to replace the existing two-lane highway with a four-lane freeway about a mile to the east.
The coalition wants KDOT to improve the existing highway.
"it's hard to say 'no' to people who need the help." Eye told the Lawrence JournalWorld. "If we can, my sense is we'll probably get involved."
Plane crashes into river four pronounced dead
Some solutions prescribed in the report — like raising the minimum wage and universal health care— are potential political hot-button issues.
STEVENSON, Wash. — A small float plane crashed into the Columbia River shortly after it left the water, killing all four people on board.
Grinding poverty, violent crime and absent parents are some of the gravest threats facing American children, according to a new report by children's advocacy groups and civic organizations.
The pilot was believed to be the chairman of the Portland-based Maceheezm Mouse restaurant chain, The Oregonian reported yesterday.
William S. Warren, 48, was traveling with his children after a Thanksgiving gathering, family members told the newspaper.
The small plane, a De Havilland Beaver, dived into the river 45 miles east of Portland, Ore., about 3 p.m. Saturday, landing upside down near the Washington state shoreline, said Lt. Mk. Stone of the Coast Guard.

Report details threats facing nation's children
Dive teams retrieved two bodies—a man believed to be Warren and a child, The Oregonian said. Technical difficulties and inclement weather forced them to delay recovery of the other two bodies until yesterday.
The report is the result of combined efforts from the National School Boards Association, the National League of Cities, Hollywood, Fl.a-based Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital and Youth Crime Watch of America, a national nonprofit organization.
Warren's three sons, aged 9, 13 and 14, were in the plane, The Oregonian said.
The report — "Ten Critical Threats To America's Children: Warning Signs for the Next Millennium" — will be presented today at the National Press Club in Washington during a news conference with representatives from each of the organizations.
Among the most critical threats against the nation's children are abuse and neglect at home, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, inadequate child care, lack of health care, poor schools and dangers in the environment.
The boys and Warren's 8-year-old daughter lived with their mother in Camas, Wash. The children had been visiting Warren for Thanksgiving and the boys and their father were flying to the family's summer home in Washington state when the plane crashed, according to the newspaper.
For each problem detailed in the document, there is an accompanying list of solutions.

Israel expresses concern about China helping Iran
JERUSALEM—Prime Minister Ehud Barak yesterday told Li Peng, the No. 2 official in China's Communist Party, that Israel is concerned that China is selling arms to Iran.
Israel is worried about Iran's development of the Shahab-4 missile, which has a range of 800 miles, and its attempts to build nuclear weapons. Israel has accused China, Russia and North Korea of selling Iran the technology and know-how for its arms programs, but Chinese leaders have denied it. Israeli officials have said.
"The prime minister raised the regional threats to Israel and, in this regard, especially emphasized the threat of arming Iran," Barak's office said in a statement.
Li, who arrived Thursday for a five-day visit to Israel and the Palestinian areas, commended Barak for advancing peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
LI, speaker of China's National
People's Congress, emphasized that
his country has normal relations with
Iran, according to Barak's office.

Search for law dean closer to completion
Bv Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas is entering the home stretch in its search for a new law dean.
A search committee has whittled down the list of candidates to five prospects, who will begin making campus visits this week.
The visits should be completed by mid-December, and the law dean search committee plans to submit its recommendation to Provost David Shulenburger the week before Christmas, said Mike Davis, professor of law and search committee chair.
From there, Shulenburger will decide to whom, if anyone, from the list of finalists he will offer the job.
But before that, the candidates must come to campus, and students will play a big part both in their campus visits and in determining who the search committee endorses, said Jill Bachman, a Rula, Neb., second-year law student who serves on the search committee.
During their visits, the candidates will meet with a 12-member student focus group. The group will discuss its opinions of each candidate with Bachman, who then will report to the
search committee. A similar focus group will be set up for alumni, Davis said.
Candidates also will meet with current and former deans, faculty, admissions and fund-raising staff, the provost and the chancellor during their visits.
The search committee also is having a series of town hall meetings to update students and faculty on the status of the search, Bachman said. The next meeting will be at 12:30 p.m. Thursday at Green Hall.
The current search follows a failed search last spring. When neither of the qualified applicants from that search came to an agreement with the University, Shulenburger formed the new search committee.
Meanwhile, Michael Hoeflich, dean of law, agreed to stay on another year while the search progressed. Hoeflich was scheduled to step down last summer.
Shulenburger said he remained confident this search would work.
"I'm optimistic about its success, but it's not a completely sure thing," he said. Davis said he, too, was optimistic about the outcome of the search.
"It's been an efficient search," he said. "But it's also been a productive one."

Students return to cafeteria after break
By Lori O'Toole
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
After Thanksgiving dinners at home, some students may find it difficult to come back to cafeteria food at the University. Photo illustration by Christina Neff/KANSAN
After nearly a week of Thanksgiving break, students returned to residence halls — and cafeteria food.
Some said the transition from home-cooked meals and turkey dinners to residence hall food would be difficult.
"My uncle's a very good cook, and he made a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving," said Andrew Ward, Lenexa sophomore. "I don't know if the food will be quite up to par now."
Ward, who lives in Templin Hall, said he used the 15 meals in his food plan each week at Kedahl Dish Commons.
"The food is more starchy here," he said. "I also eat more pasta here than at home."
Ward said he would continue eating at the cafeteria for the remainder of the semester.
"Some of my roommates make a big deal about E's food, but I really don't mind it," he said. "I'm just sort of indifferent."
Dacia Lower, Phillipsburg freshman, said she ate at the cafeteria twice a day.
She said the cafeteria food did not compare to the home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner her grandmother prepared last week.
"I tried to enjoy it while I had it," said Lower, a Hashinger Hall resident.
She said that she and her friends sometimes complained about the food, but they continued to eat there. She said regular crowds at the cafeteria showed that most students continued to eat there.
"I'll just keep telling myself there's just a couple of weeks before break, and I can eat home-cooked food again," she said.
David Pitler, Wichita freshman, said he had eaten at the cafeteria less as the semester had progressed.
"We're having to eat the same meals," he said. "It seems like there's the same rotation every
other week."
Pitler, a Templin Hall resident, said he ate fast food two to three times a week. He said it was easy to find someone to eat out with because his friends and other Templin residents often were looking for different meal options.
He said he thought fewer people would eat at the cafeteria between the Thanksgiving and winter breaks.
"A lot of food will taste watered down and runny," he said. "I'm definitely looking forward to eating good food again over winter break."
Holly Arndt, Arlington Heights, ill., freshman, said she looked forward to Oliver Hall's cafeteria food during the break, despite last week's Thanksgiving dinner.
She said she often ate snack foods, such as chips and ice cream, at home but that the cafeteria offered choices of several warm entrees and side dishes.
"I can eat better here," Arndt said. "At home, we don't have a lot of home cooking. You just eat whatever you find."

Long wait for online enrollment is unacceptable, embarrassing
The enrollment process again has raised the perpetual question — when will our outdated enrollment system be modernized? Well, the days of long lines and surprise class closings could end if and when the University joins the modern age of online enrollment. Just don't hold your breath for it to happen any time soon.
According to a University plan, students will be able to enroll online in the future. Richard Morrell, the registrar, confirmed that there is a goal to replace the current, antiquated enrollment system with an online version. The University is in the process of updating all of its computer systems to use PeopleSoft software, which eventually will improve enrollment.
This implementation process is a monumental task, though, and the University is progressing in small steps called modules. This fall, the
KU enrollment should join the modern age of technology
first module was put in place, including a change in the software used for recruiting by the Office of Admissions and Scholarships.
Morrell would not comment on when the online enrollment module will take place, saying that he cannot attach dates to the project because of its complexity.
When the new enrollment program is installed, Morrell said he envisions the enrollment system relying on electronics to handle most paperwork. For example, a student's permit to enroll would be received electronically, either via e-mail or from a form on the World Wide Web.
This is quite a transition, as Morrell noted that the current system has been entrenched for 10 years.
This is exactly the problem. The University has been looking at the prospect of online enrollment since the early '90s but has been unable to accomplish it despite advances in technology. This enrollment system upgrade illustrates the bungling and inefficiency that sometimes accompany large bureaucracies such as the one at the University.
The registrar and the University finally may be taking forward strides to ease enrollment woes, but the lack of a public timeline offers little reason for student confidence. This project should be a top priority if it is not already, and greater communication should take place to increase accountability.

Food plan should include Hill option
It's been a long morning of classes, and all you want is a decent lunch. You have class in an hour. You go to Wescoe Terrace or one of the unions to eat but soon realize that the price and quality of food are lacking. Still, you wish you could use one of the 15 meals you have left on your meal plan. But, of course, there is no other place within easy walking distance to use those meals.
This is a scenario that is all too common for students across campus. On-campus food is expensive and of questionable quality. On top of that, there is no place on Jayhawk Boulevard where a student can use a student housing meal plan.
There is a solution to this. Either the student unions or Wesco Terrace need
Too many meals on meal plans go to waste because of lack of options near classrooms
to allow students to honor student housing meal plans. In addition to helping students who continually waste meals on their meal plans, it also could give other students an opportunity to eat at a discounted rate. A student who lives off campus could have the opportunity to purchase a meal plan, which would allow those students to get reasonable prices and the convenience of eating on campus. Many students have schedules that keep them on campus all day, and a
meal plan could help lessen the expense of eating on campus.
Some students who want to use all of their meals on their meal plan get a sack lunch to bring to campus, but this is not the best solution. The student paid for a hot meal and should have the ability to get a hot meal without wasting time on a bus to get to a dining hall where the meal plan can be used.
If Dining Services could find a way to work with one of the on-campus eating establishments, both the quality and the price of food would improve. Students deserve to be able to eat on campus without spending their limited resources on food that could stand some improvement. Simple collaboration could alleviate both problems.

Highway billboard asks an unsettling question
It's not that it suddenly became more prevalent. It's just that you somehow became more aware.
An experience of this sort happened to me recently as I was driving home from my best friend's house in Kansas City. There on a giant billboard along the highway were the few, simple words: "Who's the father?"
Chad
Bettes
opinion editor
opinion @ kansan.com
No graphics. No artwork or fancy photos. Just the words, screaming for a moment's attention from the passersby by zooming along the roadway below.
ing the billboard was some kind of a joke. My eyes strained to read the punch line. Unfortunately, the smaller words beneath "Who's the father" were not a punch line. They were an advertisement for a company specializing in paternity testing.
You can dial an 800 number, and for a price, be hooked up with the company that will help you determine whether the father is behind door No. 1, 2 or 3. Eenie-meenie-mie-mio.
At first, I chuckled, think-
As dumbfounded as I was by this sign of the times, I thought I had put the billboard's message out of mind.
Then came *ER*, a new Census Bureau study and Maury Povich to bring it up again. An unlikely trio, I know, but nevertheless an informative one
— thanks to Povich's generosity and the wonder of paternity testing — that the boy she thought was the father of her child was decidedly not the father.
Stricken with emotion, the girl tried to run off of the show's stage. Povich physically intervened, begging her not to go and promising her all the paternity tests she would need to find the real father. What a guy. What a spectacle.
As fans of the popular hospital drama ER already know, a main character, Peter Benton, went through a paternity scare in a recent storyline. You see, Benton's ex-wife informed him in the custody battle for their toddler that he may not actually be the father of the child. Only a paternity test could say for sure, indicating the couple's marriage vows must not have been too sacred.
But then again, who needs marriage anyway,
especially when children are involved?
Yet again this subject was brought into my consciousness when I happened to overhear the topic one day for Maury Povich's TV talk show. Imagine my surprise to hear that Povich would be dealing with mothers who weren't sure who the fathers of their babies were. Déjà vu.
I only caught a glimpse of the show, which was enough to profoundly disturb me. In the clip I saw, a young teenager mother was sobbing and screaming uncontrollably because she found out
A recent report released by the Census Bureau revealed that the out-of-wedlock birthrate for first-time mothers has skyrocketed in the United States during the last six decades. More than 40 percent of first-time mothers are now unmarried according to the report — an astonishing 500 percent increase from the figure 60 years ago.
Once again, there was no punch line. This was real life.
Don't think that I'm off in never-land, wishing for a perfect world that can't be attained. I am the son of divorced parents, so I am well aware of the realities of the modern American family. I also am aware that most problems cannot be traced to a single cause.
But we've crossed a threshold and are steering a course fraught with danger. Many among us have forgotten that freedoms often must be linked with responsibility, less they do more harm than good.
An entire generation championed free love. Women have fought for freedom from sexual repression. And men have been much more than accomplices, unwittingly forfeiting or purposefully abdicating their essential place in the family.
Then there's the children — doped up on Ritalin, shuttled between broken homes on weekends and during summers, shoved into day care to be reared by anyone but the parents. They are the forgotten ones.
We wonder why so many struggle to make the grade, why so many are filled with rage, why there is such disrespect.
Ponder the questions today's kids are faced with and we may find a strand of the answer.
We can't even fill out the father's name on a birth certificate without a blood test. This is liberation?
No longer is the question, because of divorce,
"Where's your father?" Because of our self-centered,
live-only-for-the-moment, if it feels good-
do-it mentality, it has become, "Who's the father?"
--athletes is ridiculous. You always hear swimming grips about how much time it takes to train. Well, next time look who is there when you get there and still there when you leave. The amount of time it takes is unbelievable. Gary could easily find a less demanding and more rewarding career, but he loves Kansas University and especially Kansas swimming.

Feedback
As a member of the University of Kansas swim team, I am upset (to say the very least) at the feature article regarding our head coach, Gary Kempf. I found the article to be extremely one-sided, focusing almost entirely on a few individuals that have personal problems with Coach Kempf.
My first impulse is to respond on an equally personal level to those making the accusations, but I'm choosing what I consider to be a more dignified approach. I'd like instead to thank Gary Kempt and the coaching staff. Never have I met or heard of a coach that is as dedicated to a program and its athletes as Gary is to the University of Kansas.
The complaints of those with personal vendettas should not overshadow Coach Kempf's dedication and commitment to the sport of swimming and the program here at KU. I chose to transfer to KU from another Division I program with the full expectation that Gary would challenge and push me as an athlete, and he hasn't let me down. So, I'd like to thank you, Gary (and your staff), for your commitment to us as a team and the University. Please don't forget how many lives you have influenced positively.
Accusations bother swimmer
Kelly Brock Roswell, Ga., senior
Kempf tough, not abusive
I have tried to be patient as I have read the articles concerning Gary Kempf in several papers. At first I couldn't justify spending the time to respond to these erroneous accusations. However, because of the one-sided coverage of this issue, I felt compelled to share my unique third party perspective that no one has taken the time to consider.
I have been exposed to Kansas swimming and Gary Kempf in a way that has allowed me to see the truth. To even begin to present a picture of Gary not caring about his
As far as psychological abuse, is there truly any way on earth that one person can tell another person they have a weight problem without offending them?
As far as coaching turnover, I know that Gary has always encouraged his assistants to pursue head coaching jobs, even when it meant losing a great coach from his staff as they pursue their own coaching careers. Who would want assistant coaches that have no desire to move up?
I challenge the people who dug up all of these negatives to apply as much energy into researching all of the positives that Gary has put into this world. I married one of Gary's former swimmers and coaches. She achieved awards on the Big Eight level as well as the national level and made it all the way to the Olympic trials, most recently being honored by induction into the KU Athletic Hall of Fame. All of this was achieved under Gary's coaching.
On the issue of "his way or the highway," he is the head coach, and swimmers choose to follow his leadership when they willingly sign a letter of intent or walk onto the pool deck everyday.
Let's consider the verbal abuse allegation. Anyone who has competed in any sport can claim he or she was verbally abused ... or is this motivation? Let's face it. It's all in how you take it and utilize the feedback to improve.
You are publishing the complaints of the minority, and you have to wonder if these people are just looking for an excuse for their own lack of desire and commitment to compete at the NCAA Division I level.
The bottom line is that a few people have started an unjustified smear campaign against one of KU's best assets. The only people who know the real truth are those who have been there. If KU loses Gary Kempf, KU will be the big loser.

Swimmer would not do it again
Kansas swimming consistently competes on the national level with less than adequate facilities and very few, if any, big name stars. He consistently gets the most out of people and gets them to work together as a team. Coaching is not about being liked; it is about getting the most out of people. His teams academic achievements are the envy of any program.
I have witnessed Gary's style in dealing with all of the aforementioned issues. Yes, he's tough, he's direct, but he isn't personally abusive. His goal as a coach is to lead each of his athletes to their maximum potential as students and athletes.
I was shocked to read that Coach Kemp's abusive coaching practices have been going on until the present time. Even as one of KU's most successful women swimmers (14-time Big 8 champion and 7-time All American from 1978-1981), I can attest that the complaints cited by current athletes regarding Gary's coaching style had been going on during my tenure at KU over 20 years ago. I can only describe my four-year athletic career at KU as four years of hell, and KU could never offer me enough scholarship money to go through those four years again.

Ordinance designed to prevent new Aggieville
Continued from page 1A
John Nalbandian, a city commissioner from 1991-1999 and professor of public administration at the University, said that during the last two decades, downtown areas nationwide have suffered from neglect as the growth of suburbs and the infix of malls and super stores has drawn people away from urban centers.
"The city's policies have always supported downtown as a major regional center," Wildgen said. "The city has put a lot of money and effort and policy development into maintaining downtown."
City Manager Mike Wilden said that downtown has been the focus of retail battles, squabbles about plans for a mall and debates about national chain stores.
Bob Moody, a commissioner at the time, said the growing number of bars concerned city commissioners.
According to records from the city clerk's office, in 1989 there were five drinking establishments in the downtown district. By 1994, there were 28.
"We pay so much attention to our downtown because it never really had that kind of decline," he said. "City commissioners have refused to allow a mall to be built on the outskirts of town."
By 1994, the city commission thought that downtown was leaning too far toward pure entertainment and pure drinking.
"We absolutely didn't want it to become Aggieville, and there was that concern," Moody said, referring to the bar district in Manhattan, where fights and riots have been a constant concern.

The commission decided something needed to be done, so that more retail stores weren't converted to pure bars, Nallbandian said.
"Legally, it's pretty hard to say to a particular business, 'You can't come here,'" he said. "You have to have general policies, rather than policies aimed at a particular business. That's how the thing with the bars came about."
As Lawrence has grown, downtown has evolved. What was once a bus station now is Free State Brewing Company. What was once the Granada movie theater is now the Granada nightclub.

Few would dispute Moody's assessment, but there are those who think the commission went too far.
Jerry Neverve, owner of the Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., said he understood the city's position, and the
There are now 37 licensed drinking establishments downtown, and 10 of them are subject to the food sale requirement.
In addition to creating a separate zoning district for downtown, the commission passed a regulation that required all new drinking establishments in that zone to derive at least 5.5 percent of all of their gross receipts from the sale of food.
The requirement has stemmed the tide of pure bars downtown, officials say, and the new establishments primarily are restaurants

"Downtown right now is more vibrant and vivacious than I've seen it in the 20 years or so that I've been here." Moody said.
regulation did not effect his establishment. But even though his bar was grandfathered out of the food sale requirement, he was philosophically opposed to it.
"We should let the marketplace take care of stuff like that." Neverve said. "Downtown is a pretty unique place and it can take care of itself."
requirement that any portion of their gross receipts be from sales of food?"
It was the orange that nearly closed the Brown Bear for good.
It was the ordinance, not the free market,
that would end the war.
Shawn Schlegel, co-owner of the Brown Bear Brewing Co., serves a drink. The Brown Bear nearly went out of business after losing its liquor license because of city zoning restrictions.
In August, the city refused to renew the second downtown brewery's liquor license after an audit showed that the food sales requirement was not being met. The Brown Bear closed for five days, and was unable to move inside.
his alcohol for another week and a half. Co-owner Shawn Schlegel said at the time that the Brown Bear might have been doomed.
The vote was 26,209 for 'yes' and 14,196 for 'no'.
"There's enough factors you have to worry about running a restaurant without having to worry about being closed down by the city," Schlegel said. "Have they ever heard of supply and demand? The market only bears what it can handle."
Schlegel also said the food sale requirement went against public sentiment, citing a 1992 Douglas County general election vote. That year, the county commission adopted a resolution to include the following question on the November general election ballot: "Shall the sale of alcoholic liquor by the individual drink in Douglas County be allowed in public places without a
The vote did not deter city officials who worried that the market could handle more drinking and partying downtown than was healthy.
There is ample evidence that some KU students think the bar, ordinance is,

shouldn't be punished for one or two years."
Perhaps the biggest problem that has risen with the ordinance is that there is no protocol for handling establishments that do not meet the requirement.
"What got me the most frustrated is that they never followed on through the ordinance," Schlegel said. "It doesn't say what happen if you don't make it."
Wildgen countered that the owners of the Brown Bear knew what was expected of them, and the responsibility rested on them.
Schiegel said that there should be some sort of probation process, so that business owners could know where they stood.
"They concentrate on beer, not food" he said. "They know the rules. They were their own problem."
For all practical purposes, the Brown Bear is on probation. The city gave the brewery a new license and another chance two weeks after it was closed.
If it continues to come up short on the load requirement, the license will be lost forever, Wilden said.
Time to go home
Back outside the Granada, the party slowly starts to disperse. People break away from the crowd on their way home or to late-night house parties. When the last of them leaves, the police officer quietly pulls away, too. It's turned out to be a calm night — no arrests, no real trouble.

National program allows Paraguayans to pay in-state tuition

"I know it is unfair for someone who came from another state to pay more than we do to study at KU. But they have to understand that they have good universities in every state here, and we don't."
Story by Mariana Paiva Illustration by Kyle Ramsey
Pilar Peña Asunción, Paraguay, junior
Pilar Peña is one of 1,506 international students at the University of Kansas. Although she came from 5,045 miles
away, when it comes time to pay tuition, she pays the same amount as a Kansas resident.
Peña, Asuncion, Paraguay, junior, came to the University through the Partners of the Americas' agreement. This program allows Latin American students to pursue an education at a U.S. university and pay in-state tuition. The program pays the difference between non-resident fees of $282 per credit hour and resident fees of $68.05 per credit hour.
"It is an advantage for us," Pena said. "I know it is unfair for someone who came from another state to pay more than we do to study at KU. But they have to understand that they have good universities in every state here, and we don't."
Both Pena's brother and cousin are also enrolled at the University.
Twenty-four out of 28 Paraguayan students at the University are involved with the Partners of the Americas program. The remaining four Paraguayans must pay out-of-state tuition because 24 is the limit for the program.
Hays S state and the University of Kansas—joined the partners program and created the resident tuition exchange program between students living in Kansas and Paraguay.
Hector Podesta, Asunción, Paraguay, senior and president of the KU Paraguayan Organization is one of the 24. He said that any Paraguayan student who had graduated high school could pay a fee to join the Partners of the Americas. After joining the program, students are placed on a waiting list. Preference is given first to students pursuing Ph.Ds and master's degrees, next to students seeking undergraduate degrees, and finally to students only wishing to learn English. To come to the United States, students must be accepted by a state university and prove to the U.S. Justice Department that they can pay to live in the U.S. Podesta said many students couldn't come because they couldn't afford the living expenses.
At the University of Kansas, students in the program must maintain a certain grade point average, depending on their year in school to continue paying in-state tuition.
Charles Stansifer, professor of history, helped to establish the partnership between the state of Kansas and Paraguay in 1976. Every country in Latin America has a U.S. state partner. In Kansas, the Regents institutions — Wichita State, Kansas State, Emporia State, Pittsburg State, Fort
Stansifer said the agreement was reciprocal and that University of Kansas students could take classes in the National and Catholic Universities in Paraguay. No University students are studying in Paraguay this year and none have since 1994.
Stansifer said that one of the reasons Paraguay was chosen as Kansas' partner was that both Paraguay and Kansas had large Mennonite communities. But the fact that Paraguay was a military-ruled country, under the command of General Alfredo Stroessner, created tension.
Stansifer made his first trip to Paraguay in 1976. He met with directors of the country's top two universities, Universidad Catolica (Catholic University) and Universidad Nacional (National University).
"I was really shocked when I came back and found that some people judged me and thought that I was pro-dictatorship on the fact that I had gone to Paraguay," Stansifer said. "I had nothing to do with Stroessner and never met him. I was strictly focused on the University exchange relationship when I went there."
Stansifer said he decided to support
Paraguay as Kansas' Partner when a Paraguayan priest came to campus and talked about his country.
"He said, 'Please don't abandon the people in Paraguay just because we have to suffer from a dictatorship,' " Stansifer said. "It really made a difference in my mind because Paraguay was not my highest priority. He persuaded me to try to make a contact with the Paraguayan committee despite the dictatorship."
KU alumnus Mario Ramos-Reyes, Paraguay consul general, who has an office in Kansas City, Mo., said that the dictatorship was the main reason why a stronger exchange between students from the two countries was not fortified.
"In my case, KU has been a blessing: I finished a master's degree and a Ph.D., and I found all the resources for doing research, which was lacking in Paraguay because of Stroessner oppression," he said. "Today I can say that I am privileged in Paraguay, one of the few people of my generation, probably no more than a dozen, who hold a Ph.D. from an American university."
Paraguayans lived under a dictatorship for 35 years — until 1989 when Alfredo Stroessner was deposed in a
PARTNERS HISTORY
In 1962, then-President John F. Kennedy established the Alliance for Progress, a cooperation alliance among governments in the Americas. In 1963, Kennedy sought to involve private citizens in the program. The program expanded to include volunteer programs and eventually, student exchanges. The Partners of the Alliance was established within the Agency for International Development (USAID) in 1964 and in 1970, the program's name changed to Partners of the Americas and the program moved into the private sector, although USAID continues to make financial contributions.

presidential coup. The end of the military rule opened the door for United States students to enhance their academic pursuits by studying in Paraguay. However, 10 years after the end of military rule, the exchange between the partners had not become equal.
Although the KU Office Study Abroad will help students who want
to go to Paraguay, there is no established KU program.
"It is really hard to convince students to study in Paraguay," Hector Podesta said. "First, the universities lack infrastructure. Second, the airfare to Paraguay is too expensive."
Podesta said that most of the Paraguayans who could afford to study abroad usually went to countries close to Paraguay that offered a better academic education.
The Paraguayans who use the Partners of the Americas program pay almost the same price as they would pay for pursuing their degree in a Latin America institution.
Although several universities in Kansas allow Paraguayans to pay resident tuition, Podesta said KU was almost always students' first choice.
Stansifer said that the fact that 24 Paraguayan students paid resident tuition did not hurt the University's budget because the partners' Washington headquarters paid for the difference. The organization receives help from the Agency for International Development, other government agencies and contributions from individuals, foundations and corporations.
When Podesta enrolled at the University three years ago, he was still on the waiting list to become a resident student. He studied economics and political science because those were the urgent and worst problems that Paraguayan society was facing.
"All of the Paraguayans have our country in our hearts," he said. "And we will do whatever it is necessary to return there one day and help to develop our society."
Ramos-Reyes said that he came back to Kansas last year to be the first consul of the Paraguay consulate in Kansas City. He said that his main goal was to promote a stronger relationship between Kansas and Paraguay in all areas. Recently, he has been trying to establish the same deal with other universities and colleges in the state.
"A consulate is crucial in the consolidation of the relationship," Ramos-Reyes said. "It will strengthen the exchange program of students, and I am talking to all officials at Kansas universities to encourage students to go to Paraguay."

"I really am proud that I played volleyball at the University of Kansas and that I am a Jayhawk."

Senior outside hitter

In the aftermath of the Kansas volleyball team's season-ending loss to No. 21 Colorado Saturday night at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, all senior Mary Beth Albrecht could do was think positive.
"Of course we wanted to win," said Albrecht, an outside hitter. "Every game you want to win. But for me now, it's over. I just want to enjoy it, and I want to focus on the great teammates that I had and all the sentimental things."
The Jayhawks were sentimental on Saturday night, when they bid farewell to five seniors and watched their once-promising season come to a close in with a 3-0 loss to Colorado.
Kansas, which finished its season at 17-14 overall and 8-12 in the Big 12 Conference, entered the match on the heels of a 3-2 loss at Iowa State Wednesday night in Ames. The Cyclones celebrated their first victory since Sept. 4 and their only Big 12 victory this season.
Because of that loss, Kansas knew its NCAA tournament hopes likely had vanished.
Essentially, the Jayhawks were playing for pride against Colorado.
However, pride didn't factor much into games one and two, when Colorado dominated on its way to 15-9 and 15-11 victories.
The problem for the Jayhawks was stopping Colorado middle blocker Kristin Engelking, who had 22 kills and no errors on the night. Settler Kelly Campbell, a 6-foot-1 All-America candidate, also provided a spark for the Buffaloes with 61 assists and seven digs.
"Engeling got away from us a little bit," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "The adjustment that was difficult was Kelly Campbell being so tall that she takes the ball so high. When she sets it quick there's not enough time for us to adjust."
of our season," Bechard said. "Just on the edge. On the edge of being a top 25 and a NCAA tournament team. Obviously those are games that you have to finish."
The defeat, which was the Jayhawk's fifth straight, signaled the finish to the careers of Albrecht, middle blockers Amanda Reves and Anné Kreimer, outside hitter Tori Holtmeier, and defensive specialist Kristi Kiyabu. All five were honored after the match in a senior night ceremony.
The Jayhawks started to adjust in the third game, jumping out to a 4-10 lead and serving with a 14-10 lead. But Colorado bounced back behind three kills from outside hitter Josee Roberge and captured a 17-15 victory.
"That third game was somewhat of a microcosm
Reves had a team-high 19 kills, while Kreimer added 11. Albrecht and Holmmeier had nine and seven kills, respectively. Kilyabu played in one game and picked up an ace and a dig.
"I'm so proud of everything that team stands for," Albrecht said. "I really am proud that I played volleyball at the University of Kansas and that I am a Jawkah."
Volleyball notes:
■ Last night, Reves was selected to the Big 12 first team by the conference's coaches. Also, junior outside hitter Amy Meyt received honorable mention.

Kansas wins shootout title for first time

After two previously unsuccessful trips to the Last Frontier, the Kansas men's basketball team won its first Great Alaska Shootout title this holiday weekend, winning three games by an average of 22 points per game.
Saturday's championship game against unranked and previously undefeated Georgia Tech completed the tournament as the No. 10 Jachayns hawks staved off a couple

of Yellow Jacket attacks and captured the book 84-70.
"We feel great about winning the championship and playing three games against top competition," Kansas coach Roy Williams said.

The story of the tournament, particularly the final game, was the play of freshman Drew Gooden, who was
Gooden: Named tournament's Most Valuable Player
named the tournament's most valuable player.
"For a freshman to come here and win the MVP in a tournament of this quality really says a lot for his ability," Williams said.
Gooden's 20 points and 11 rebounds Saturday locked up the MVP honor, but his play in the previous two games laid the foundation.
In Wednesday's tournament opener, an 88-78 win against Georgia, Gooden chipped in 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
Following an explosive second-half performance in a 111-70 victory against Xavier on Friday, the 'Hawks jumped out early against Georgia Tech, building a 13-5 lead. From there, the Jayhawks controlled the tempo, except for the final two minutes of the first half.
Although Kansas led by 14 with less than two minutes remaining in the half, Georgia Tech scored four points, cut Kansas' lead to 10 and had the momentum going into the locker room
But the 'Hawks countered at the start of the second half. Upping its lead to 22 at one point, Kansas continued to use a pressure defense and a relentless rotation of fresh bodies to wear down the Yellow Jackets.
Georgia Tech, however, managed to produce one final run that lasted about three minutes midway through the second half. Kansas turnovers and dead-eye three-point shooting by Georgia Tech guard Tony Akins, who

their families, it was a great holiday for them as they defeated Louisville 78-68 in the championship game of the Great Alaska Shootout in Anchorage, Alaska.
Led by the tournament's most outstanding player, senior forward Lynn Pride, who scored 19 points in eight of 12 shooting, Kansas broke six tournament records: points scored (147), fewest points allowed (108), field-goal percentage (48 percent), free-throw percentage (80 percent), most rebounds (81) and most assists (33).
Pride: Scored 19 points in championship game
KU
Louisville was led by guard Jill Morton, who scored a tournament-high 33 points in her two
women's BASKETBALL
games, and only trailed at halftime by four points. 38-34.
Louisville never could close the gap in the second half, and the Jayhawks' scoring attack took off. With 11:49 remaining, Kansas captured an 11-point lead, 58-47. The closest Louisville would come was five points with 9:14 remaining and again with 3:05 remaining.
"It was good to see us run our offensive options," Coach Marian Washington said. "Against Houston, we ran the options through a few times, but in the second game, every time we went up the floor, we were getting ourselves in the position to run the options. We had a lot of people play well and contribute."
After Louisville closed the Kansas lead to five the second time, senior guard Suzi Raymant hit a three-pointer, giving Kansas an eight-point lead.
Four Kansas players scored in double figures against Louisville. Raymant had 17 points and 13
rebounds, and junior guard Jennifer Jackson and junior forward Brooke Reves each scored 13 points.
"The best thing that we looked at after the Louisville game was how Lynn (Pride) didn't have nearly as much problem scoring because Louisville had to concentrate on everyone." Jackson said. "Suzi (Raymant) had a great game, and Brooke (Reves) had a great tournament. We were really able to take the ball to the basket with authority."
Reves also was a key player in Kansas' 69-40 victory against Northern Arizona in the tournament opener on Tuesday. She led the team in scoring, with 19 points in seven of 14 shooting and five of six from the free-throw line.
Pride added 11 points and eight rebounds, and junior forward Jaclyn Johnson scored nine points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
Kansas' next match will be at home where it will play host to the Jayhawk Classic Friday and Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas will play against Loyola Marymount Friday and either UC-Santa Barbara or Brigham Young on Saturday.

Nesmith, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound safety, played wide receiver at Butler County Community College, but the coaching staff moved him to defense before the season to take advantage of his size and aggressiveness. He was second among the Jayhawks in total tackles with 89, and he led the team with three interceptions, but his hitting ability was probably what impressed the coaches the most.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 29).
The schedule's tough this year, but a nice promotion could be your reward. Decide in December to make the big change. Study through February to qualify. You get a boost in April and a possible setback in May. The coast is clear again in August, but a big test is scheduled for September. Relax with friends in October, and count up your merit badges next November.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries: Today is a 7.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
The back-to-work theme is appropriate 'cause there's way too much to do. Pay close attention to detail, too. Now that you know it's important, you can move your quality control check to top priority
You'll most likely feel mellow today. You'll be able to tackle a difficult topic. Don't worry even if there isn't enough money for everything you'd like. There seems to be plenty of love, and that's much more important.
Lots of changes are underway. Are you and your partner having a tiff? Are you thinking about moving or rearranging your furniture? Some planning is in order. It may not be easy, but later you'll sure be glad that you did it.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You're learning quickly today, and that's good.
You have to do that to keep up with a new and unfamiliar chore. This will be fun, almost, once you're used to the routine. Keep at it. You're almost there.
Leo: Today is a 7.
You can anticipate a conflict today, most likely about money. If you're generating the income, you get to say how it's spent. If it's the other way around, you'd better dummy up. That looks rather unlikely, however.
Libra: Today is a 7.
You're interested and interesting now. You could find out something that you've been wondering about for a long time. Ask leading questions, and you may get the information you seek. It may come from an unexpected source, however.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Some nice people help you out. That's good. The bad news is that your plan isn't worked through completely. Maybe you ought to wait a little while before launching this project. Back to the drawing board!
Sagittarius: Today is an 8.
You have a pretty good scheme in mind. Discuss it just a little bit more before you proceed. Security is important, and that's not part of the equation yet Take the time to forge a framework you can build upon.
P
There's a test today, so watch out. You may be called to account for something you've done recently. Or, if you haven't done it, you'll need to explain why not. Have the facts and figures at your fingertips, and you'll wow 'em.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You have a grand time in earth signs now. That makes you even better at business and more practical than usual. No matter what happens you will most likely make a profit, so get busy.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
You're facing a bit of a dilemma. If you go off with your friends, you'll have lots of fun. You might spend more than you can afford, however. Either come up with another source of income or another group of friends to play with!
Pisces: Today is a 7.

Arizona beats Kentucky, wins Preseason NIT title
NEW YORK — This Presseason NIT business really agrees with Arizona
Coach Lute Olson's team won its third championship this decade and ran its tournament winning streak to 12 games. And the title came without much trouble for No. 8 Arizona
After blowing out Notre Dame in the semifinals, Arizona overcame some erratic shooting and battered No. 11 Kentucky in the finals, 63-51.

Yzerman hits milestone with 600th career goal
DETROIT — Steve Yzerman scored his 600th goal in the first period of Detroit's game against Edmonton on Friday night and became the 11th NHL player to reach the milestone.
The Red Wings captain scored on a power play after winning a faceoff. Yzerman took a pass from Nicklas Lidstrom, skated up the goal line, and lifted a shot that bounced off the back of Oilers goalee Tommy Salo's legs into the net.
Yzerman, in his 17th season with the Red Wings, is second to former Pittsburgh star Mario Lemieux on the NHL's list of players who have scored all their goals with one team. Lemieux had 613 goals with the Penguins.
Yzerman, who topped 900 assists last week, joined Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Marcel Dionne and Mark Messier as the only NHL players with 600 goals and 900 assists. Yzerman has 1,503 points ranks seventh on the career list.

finished with 17 points, helped put the Yellow Jackets back in the game. But Kansas responded.
With Kansas' lead cut to 12 points with 7:38 remaining, sophomore guard Jeff Boschee knocked in a three pointer and helped the 'Hawks push their lead to a comfortable 16.
"Jeff Boschee made some big baskets in the second half when Georgia Tech cut it to 12 or so," Williams said. "Luke (Axtell) hit some big shots as well."
Both Bosche, who has made 11 of 14 three-point attempts this year, and Axell, who
drilled six of nine three-pointers in Alaska, were on fire from beyond the three-point line, hitting big shots at big times. Boschee, who played limited minutes against Georgia Tech because of foul trouble, scored eight points.
Boschee and Axtell, who scored 11 points Saturday, were named to the 11-man all-tournament team.
"Kenny, Luke and Jeff stepped up big," said sophomore guard Marlon London, who logged 26 minutes and held the point guard duties for much of his time because of Boschee's and freshman Kirk Hinrich's foul trouble. "That's what you've got to do to have a
winning team."
Basketball notes:
■ Kansas finished its victory against Xavier Friday night with a tournament- and school-record 36 assists. Six Jayhawks scored in double-figures, and ten players logged more than 10 minutes.
- The championship erases the memories of two previous losses in the championship game in Alaska (to UAB in 1984 and Seton Hall in 1988) and moves the Jayhawks to 4-0 on the season. The next game for the Jayhawks will be at home Thursday night against Pepperdine.

one of the most ferocious hitters on the team. His knack for big hits drew owebs and ahahs from crowds during the season, and several of his hits frequently were replayed on the MegaVision board at Memorial Stadium.
Norris, who was second among the Jayhawks with 537 yards rushing, was never the focal point of the Jayhawks' offense, but with injuries to three different Kansas running backs, he became the main rushing option, and he flourished in his new role. He had only two carries in the first five games, but had 87 carries in the final five games, rushing for 472 yards.
Hunt, who started 38 consecutive games for Kansas at left guard, was a four-year starter. Pelfanio was third in the Big 12 in punting, and he finished the year seventh all-time among Kansas punters.

Senior reserve ends career with upbeat performance

Tori Holtmeier saved her best for last. Holtmeier, a senior on the Kansas volleyball team, became a Jayhawk after a standout career at Barton County Community College, where she played for current
Kansas coach Ray Bechard. At Barton County, she helped lead the team to two national junior college Final Fours, but at Kansas she had played sparsely as a reserve.
But Saturday night was a different story. Bechard gave Holmeter the startling nod in kansas' 3-10 Senior Night defeat against No. 23
Yvonne Müller
Holtmeier: Opened the first game against Colorado with an ace
Colorado at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. It was only her second career start, and she made the most of it.
Holtmeier delivered a performance that many players would wish to end their careers with. She set a personal best with 11 digs and also had seven kills, one away from her career high, while playing in two of three games against the Buffaloes. Bechard said
Holtmeier earned the start.
"Senior Night was part of it, but if you look, she deserved it," Bechard said. "She played very well. I wanted to give her an opportunity to be out there with some of her teammates for an extended period of time, and she did and played well."
Holmeier said she was excited going into the game and was glad she played well.
"I was very excited and looking forward to it," Holtmeier said. "I think everyone was ready, and it was fun to go out and play a good match of volleyball."
Holtmeier opened game one with an ace on the opening serve and belted six kills. Although Kansas lost game one 15-9, her energy and enthusiasm helped keep the Jayhawks close before losing game two, 15-11.
Holtmeier said that she hoped her energy had given the team a boost.
"I would like to think so," Holtmeier said. "I'm probably one of the most emotional players on the team."
While the other seniors have played more games, it is Holtmeier who Beardd might miss the most at season's end. He coached her for two years at Barton County and then the last two at Kansas
"She's the first player I've had to coach for four years (so) we've developed a little different player/coach relationship in the fact that she knows that I respect her a great deal," Bechard said. "Tl miss her a bunch."

Colorado gives 'Huskers a scare
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Leading by 24 points,
everything was going according to plan for
No. 3 Nebraska.
The Cornhuskers were on their way to a convincing victory that would bolster their position in the Bowl Championship Series and send them soaring into the Big 12 championship game against No. 7 Texas.
In a matter of minutes, it all fell apart.
Eric Crouch's 1-yard touchdown run gave the Huskers a 33-30 overtime victory against Colorado on Friday, but wasting a seemingly insurmountable lead in a nine-minute span of the fourth quarter could damage Nebraska's bid for its four national title in six seasons.
"There is no more talk of a national championship." Huskers defensive back Mike Brown said. "All the talk is of winning the Big 12 championship."
Nebraska (10 1, 7-1 Big 12) still has an outside chance to overtake No. 2 Virginia Tech in the BCS standings and gain an
invitation to the Sugar Bowl against topranked Florida State.
ranked Florida State. Virginia Tech (11-0) ended its season Friday with a 38-14 victory against No. 22 Boston College and must wait to see how Nebraska fares against Texas on Dec. 4.
"I don't know where we are now," said
Dan Alexander,
Huskers running back,
who ran for a career-
high 180 yards on 17
carries. "We still have a
chance at the Big 12
title. That has been our
goal all along anyway."
Texas is the only team to beat Nebraska this season, and Colorado (65, 5-3) came within a couple feet of becoming the second. Jeremy Aldrich's 34-yard field goal was wide-right as time expired.
Aldrich made a 33-yard field goal in the overtime, but Alexander had an 11-yard run to set up Crouch's game-winning plunge off left tackle to give Nebraska its eight straight win against Colorado.
Moschetti finished 21 of 41 for 317 yards — 186 coming in the fourth quarter — and Cortlen Johnson ran for 135 yards. Crouch threw for only 44 yards but had 123 on 19 carries.
Moschetti finished 21-of-41 for 317 yards.
The Huskers built a big lead early as Alexander went 50 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage, marking the fourth time Nebraska has scored on its first play in the last six games played at Folsom Field.
You need to have three colors by handline — one more than Colorado's defense had allowed in the previous two games against Baylor and No. 9 Kansas State combined.
Nebraska had 312 total yards by halftime
Alexander made it 14-0 less than four minutes into the game with a one-yard touchdown run and added an 80-yard breakaway that pushed the lead to 24-3 midway through the second quarter.
"We just couldn't get anything going." Buffs defensive back Rashidi Barnes said. "This could be my last football game in Folosm, and for it to end like this is just awful."
BLACKSBURG, Va. — The perfect regular season was finally one for the books. The fans streamed onto the field by the thousands, congratulating the players, rejoicing the completion of Virginia Tech's magical 11-0 ride.
An hour later, coach Frank Beamer was both jubilant and exhausted, and the high emotion of the celebration sparked him to do a little lobbying for his team
The Associated Press
"I think we've answered every challenge, and we did it by playing and not talking," Beamer said. "What we've done on the field is the right thing."
Hokies pull off perfect season
"Does anybody here think we don't belong in New Orleans?"
On the biggest day in Virginia Tech sports history, the No. 2 Hokies completed their first perfect regular season in 81 years with a 38-14 thumping of No. 22 Boston College, but concerns about the Bowl Championship series lingered. Could the Hokies at 11-0 be denied their obvious date with No. 1 Florida State for the national championship? Would Colorado
VT
And when it was finished, some of the 53,130 fans at Lane Stadium were tearing down the goal posts at both ends of the stadium, and thousands more had directed their undivided

play the Seminoles in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4, and the race is close.
The Hokies are just ahead of the Cornhuskers in the chase for the right to play the Seminoles in the Sugar Bowl on 4, and the race is close.
The stadium grew silent when word flashed that Colorado would try a field goal with one second left, then groaned as one when word came the kick was no good.
But the Hokies, Beamer and even Boston College coach Tom O'Brien all seemed sure that the trip to New Orleans had all but been sealed at Lane Stadium.

Trade event criticized by Teamsters
The Associated Press
SEATTLE—The World Trade Organization, getting ready to stage the largest trade event ever in the United States, was attacked yesterday by the Teamsters union president for putting "corporate greed" ahead of human rights.
With much riding on the outcome of the talks, the Clinton administration defended its decision to invite trade ministers from around the world to the Pacific Northwest in hopes of launching a new round of global trade talks.
Commerce Secretary William Daley said the administration's embrace of the global marketplace and lower
trade barriers has contributed to booming U.S. exports and the country's longest peacetime economic expansion.
"This economy is strong ... and it will remain strong because of the sort of outward view we've had about trade, not an inward view," Daley said to Reform Party presidential hopeful P Buchanan in a joint appearance on NBC's Meet the Press.
Critics such as Teamsters head James P. Hoffa and Buchanan contend the WTO is sacrificing worker rights, environmental protection and human rights to please multinational corporations that want trade barriers erased.
Hoffa, whose union is among
the labor groups organizing protests in Seattle, said on Fox News Sunday that the demonstrators simply want a seat at the table to ensure the WTO stops putting "corporate greed, corporate profits, above human rights."
Buchanan denounced the administration for agreeing to support China's entry into the WTO in return for reduced Chinese trade barriers. U.S. farmers and manufacturers long have complained that those barriers are costing them billions of dollars in lost sales each year.
sales each year.
"This was a complete and total giveaway," Buchanan said. "We got nothing in the way of human rights improvement, nothing in the way of a build-down of the missiles aimed at Taiwan, nothing in the way of reduced belligerence for this country."
for the four days of formal WTO discussions will be aimed at starting what some are calling the Millennium Round of trade negotiations, a follow-up to the Uruguay Round of trade talks completed in 1993.
The formal discussions will not get under way until tomorrow. But already thousands of officials from the 135 WTO member countries, and 30 more observer nations were filling the hotel rooms and holding informal meetings in an effort to win converts for their negotiating positions.
Submarine locates, photographs sunken passenger ferry wreckage
The Associated Press
OSLO, Norway— A remote-controlled submarine more than 300 feet below the North Sea on Sunday located and photographed the wreckage of the passenger ferry that ran aground and sank off Norway's coast, killing at least 19 people.
The brand-new catamaran Sleipner run aground Friday evening on its way from Stavanger to Bergen along Norway's west coast and sank about 45 minutes later. All 89 people aboard ended up in the icy waters of the
North Sea.
Rescuers gave up hope of finding more survivors Saturday evening, after nearly 24 hours of searching. They said no one could have survived so long in the cold waters and waves that reached heights of 20 feet.
Teacher heigned
Ole Arne Linge of the
Hordaland Police District
said seven ships were
searching the ocean, and 300
volunteers were combing the coastline for bodies on
Sunday. The ship went down in one of the toughest areas of Norway's weather-beaten coast.
Panicked survivors had to fight for their lives when they were plunged into icy waters. Many complained of a lack of instructions and assistance from the ship's nine-member crew.
"It was unreal. I didn't think the boat would sink," 37-year-old Soelví Litteskare of Stavanger was quoted as telling the Norwegian news agency NTB. "We were literally dragged down with the boat."
The accident will be investigated by both a maritime inquiry and a special commission.

KU athlete hospitalized after serious car accident

Adrian Jones, a freshman on the University of Kansas football team, was upgraded from criti-
terday, after suffering head trauma in an automobile accident on the Kansas Turnpike near Emporia Sunday afternoon.
PENNANT
Doctors told Kansas coach Terry Allen that Jones likely will make a full recovery.
Jones, a redshirt freshman from Dallas, was returning to Lawrence after going home during the Thanksgiving break when the left rear tire of a 1993 Honda he was driving blew out, and the car veered off the road. It rolled

once and landed on its wheels, throwing Jones, a dispatcher with the Kansas Turnpike Authority said.
Jones suffered head trauma and other lacerations and was taken by helicopter to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, the dispatcher said.
Mills also was thrown from the car, but suffered only minor injuries. Mills and Christopher Jones were treated at an Emporia hospital Sunday night, the dispatcher said.
He was traveling with his brother, Christopher L. Jones, a 26-year-old Dallas resident, and Jayhawk wide receiver Derick Mills, a redshirt freshman from Dallas.
It is unclear if the passengers of the Honda were wearing seat belts.
Jones' parents traveled to Wichita Sunday night from Dallas and met with Allen, who was informed of Adrian Jones' condition late Sunday afternoon.
PETER
"It takes your breath away when you hear news like that." Allen said.
Mills: Suffered minor injuries after being thrown from the car
Most of the football team traveled home for the Thanksgiving break, taking advantage of the first free time they have had since late July.
Adrian Jones is a 6-foot-5, 230 pound tight end who spent the season on the scout team, but Allen was not considered whether Jones will be able to play football next year.
"Hasn't even crossed our minds," he said. Adrian Jones remains in the intensive care unit at Wesley.
"Hasn't even crossed our minds." he said.

Sara Deshong will decorate her side of a small Naismith Hall room with a menorah, Stars of David and the color blue for the upcoming Hanukkah season.
Deshong, Minneapolis, Minn., freshman, said her roommate, a Christian, would decorate her side of the room with Santa Clauses and red and green for Christmas.
Holiday decorations often go up in University of Kansas housing as soon as Thanksgiving leftovers are put away. Deshong and her roommate are just two of the many students who may have to work out potential conflicts when decorating a shared living area for different religious holidays.
While religious differences may not become an issue between roommates at other times of the year, holiday decorations tend to be a more bold statement of beliefs, which may upset roommates who have different beliefs.
She said they would not decorate any areas or items they shared, including her computer. The issue may be easier to work out in a residence hall room
"It won't bother me because it's on her side of the room," Deshong said. "That's what she pays for."
Deshong said she would try to be understanding.
than an apartment.
"Since I'm in a smaller area, I don't have to worry about certain things offending me," Deshong said. "There's not room for her to put up a Christmas tree and to cook a ham."
Asner lives in a Lewis Hall room with three Christian roommates. The three must work out how they will decorate for the two different religious holidays.
Debbie Asner, Overland Park freshman, is in a position similar to Deshong's.
"I think it will be fun because we can learn more about each other," Asner said.

After Thanksgiving, the Christmas marketing rush begins with fancy department store displays and Christmas-themed packaging.
See RELIGIOUS on page 2A
While sales may put some in the Christmas mood, the marketing blitz is not as appealing to those who don't celebrate the Christian holiday.
Jay Quinn, Overland Park senior who celebrates the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, said he had a lot of Jewish friends when he was younger, so the prevalence of Christmas themes in commercials and shopping malls didn't affect him as much.
"I think that it affects the kids a lot more than adults because there is more peer pressure," Quinn said. "Especially if you reinforce it at home, it makes it easier."
Hanukkah starts Friday at sundown.
Gift-giving has become a large part of the Christmas tradition. According to a CNN report, an estimated $180 billion was spent in retail stores during the Thanksgiving weekend. That averages to about $500 per family.
Daniel Breslauer, professor of religious studies, said although he thought the tradition of gift-giving originated with Roman winter celebrations, the greatest push came with the advent of Christmas.
"It is the assumption that if you are American, you are celebrating Christmas," said Breslauer, who is Jewish. "If Americans think they can make a buck, they will. The overwhelming presence of Christmas does make one uncomfortable."
He said Hanukkah has been marketed, although not to the same extent. He cited the example of a sign at Walgreen's, 3421 W. Sixth St., advertising dreidels.
Aali Shah, Wichita senior who is Muslim, said because the Islamic holiday of Ramadan was a month of fast
"It is the assumption that if you are American,you are celebrating Christmas."
Daniel Breslauer professor of religious studies
ing, buying gifts was not a large part of it.
"You might get presents out of it at the end, but kids get money," he said.
This year, Ramadan begins Dec. 9 and ends Jan.8.
Shah said although he didn't initiate Christmas giving, he did not object to participating.
"I don't give out Christmas cards or anything like that, but if they give me a present, I give them one, too," he said.
Shah said he thought elaborate displays at department stores, like the Christmas trees at Dillard's stores in Kansas City and Topeka malls, were a good marketing ploy.
"Even though there's nothing for me to get excited about, I thought, 'Wow! This is a Hallmark holiday.' Shah said.
Scott Eidelman, Chesterfield, M., graduate student and president of the Kansas Humanists, Atheists and Freethinkers, said he had never celebrated Christmas. He was raised Jewish and considered himself an atheist.
Eidelman said he didn't think any one source was to blame for the prevalence of Christmas-oriented marketing, but he thought the phenomenon stemmed from the tradition of gift-giving and looking for bargains on gifts.
"We do have rampant consumerism," he said, "I suppose it's good for business, but I'm in favor of it."
Eidelman said he thought the holiday would be better celebrated by acknowledging the religious significance it held for some people and by spending time volunteering or with family.

Ambiguous signs confuse students
By Michael Terry writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Some parking lot restrictions seem to contradict each other
Students who park in any of the parking lots around the University of Kansas know how difficult it is to find a spot.
According to some students, the deceptive wording and placement of some signs throughout campus is making the problem worse.
Lot 3, next to Strong Hall, has been particularly troublesome.
Scott Rowland, Newton junior, said he has received tickets for parking in there after 5 p.m.
"I saw several cars with yellow permits parked in the lot that the KU ticket takers did not bother to ticket, so I thought it was all right to park there," Rowland said.
"When I came back, I was surprised to find a ticket on my vehicle."
There are several spots in lot 3, however,
that contradict the main sign. Those spots
have signs that say they are only restricted
from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Lot 3 is a blue zone and one of seven lots that is restricted from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The fine for illegally parking in a lot without the proper permit is $20.
Rowland said there also were spaces under the canopy next to the Spencer Research Library that were supposed to be restricted 24 hours. But he said some students received tickets for parking there and others did not.
Rowland said the contradictory signs in lot 3 caused problems for him and many other students who come to campus for late classes or to go to the library.
Zeke Cunningham, safety security officer, said he was aware of the problems with lot 3 behind Strong Hall, especially the spaces under the canopy.
"A lot of students don't realize that the entire lot is restricted until 7:30 p.m.",
Rowland said. "They see vehicles with yellow permits that don't receive a ticket, and they think it's all right to park there."
"The signs are a little deceptive, and we have been told by the department to treat the area lightheartedly and not ticket the lot unless we received a complaint," Cunningham said. "The department is working on a way to clear up the confusion with the signing, but I'm not aware of any solution department heads have come up with vet."
Rick Lange, Leavenworth senior, said he had received a ticket in lot 3, and he thought that signing was deceptive.
4
"Now that I know which spaces are restricted, and which are not, I don't get ticketed anymore," Lange said. "I think it's just another way the parking department is trying to make even more money off the students by not simulating the letter."

International students serve as ambassadors
Five University of Kansas students have been chosen to represent the University internationally and increase awareness of the institution abroad.
Moussa Sissoko, Mail PhD student; Frances Margaret LI Lian Tan, Malaysia senior; Mariana Nissen da Costa Paiva, Brazil senior; Manuel Angulo, Colombia freshman; and Corinne Morlarty, Lawrence sophomore, were selected by the office of International Student Services for the International Student Ambassador program
Joe Potts, director of International Student Services, said the volunteer program, which began in 1998, selects and trains prominent international and domestic students to promote the University abroad.
Moriarty, the first domestic ambassador, already has started selling the University to foreigners. This semester, she is studying in Buhler, France, and meeting with prospective students to encourage them to come to Lawrence.
The ambassadors will not necessarily travel abroad, but will work to promote the University from Lawrence by mail, phone and the Internet.

"More than anything, this is a learning experience for him so he can learn what is working well and what areas of science research might be in need of funding," said Marc Wilson, spokesperson for Moore. Moore was appointed to *'*

"As part of his duties on the science committee, he would like to find what universities and businesses in

Armed robberies rise during holiday season
'Tis the season for armed robbery, Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said.
Armed robberies typically pick up around Thanksgiving and occur frequently until the new year, Wheeler said.
He said several factors contributed to the increase. People need more money around the holidays, he said, and the colder weather allowed bulkier clothing, which can conceal weapons.
The first seasonal robbery took place at 5:40 p.m. Sunday at the Best Western Hallmark Inn, 730 Iowa St. A black male walked inside, displayed a knife and demanded money. The female clerk compiled and was not injured.
"We encourage victims to comply with the demands of the robber and not to get injured," Wheeler said. "But be good witnesses. Get as much information as possible."

Holocaust survivors get $1.25 billion settlement
NEW YORK — Holocaust survivors and their supporters told a federal judge yesterday that they were willing to accept — begrudgingly — a $1.25 billion settlement in their lawsuit against Swiss banks.
Most plaintiffs are not in favor of the settlement, said Leo Rechter, head of a Holocaust victims organization. "But they are sick and tired of the shenani-gans that have been going on for years and years," he said.
Rechter was among hundreds of people who packed a courtroom for a hearing on the proposed settlement in the suit, in which Holocaust survivors and heirs accused the banks of withholding money deposited during World War II.
Lawyers from both sides claimed the vast majority of the nearly half-million potential plaintiffs worldwide supported the settlement, which was reached after more than 14 months of hard-fought negotiations.
MIAMI — A 5-year-old Cuban boy who survived a Thanksgiving Day rafting tragedy by clinging to an inner
United States, Cuba argue about fate of 5-year-old
tube for two days has become the focus of an international tug-of-war.
Elian Gonzalez was found adrift off the coast of Fort Lauderdale after a small powerboat carrying 13 Cuban refugees capsized. Two adults also were rescued.
Cuba blames the United States for the tragedy and says the child had been kidnapped by his mother, who died during the voyage.
The boy's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, and Cuba's Foreign Ministry have demanded his return. Gonzalez has filed a complaint with the United Nations to draw international attention to the issue, The Miami Herald reported today.
Elian's family in Miami has hired a lawyer and is seeking legal guardianship.
The Gonzalez family attorney in America, Spencer Eig, told the Herald that U.S. immigration and federal judges would be the ones to decide if Flian would stay or go.
U. S. officials have said all three survivors would be allowed to stay in the United States.
NEW YORK—Frank Lalli, a veteran magazine executive, was named yesterday as John F. Kennedy Jr.'s successor as editor in chief of the political magazine George.

The appointment of the former managing editor of Money magazine came one month after Hachette Filippacci Magazines assumed full control of
George by buying the 50 percent stake it didn't already own from the Kennedy family.
Kennedy: Death had raised questions about magazine's future
Kennedy's death in a plane crash in July had raised questions about the future of the magazine, which had been struggling with lower advertising. But Hachette's president and
chief executive, Jack Kliger, has maintained that the company was committed to the magazine and to Kennedy's goal of reporting on the intersection of politics and culture.
Lall said he would keep the tone of the publication generally positive but that he would also strive for more newsy stories.

Religious differences lead to decorating compromises

She said she might be offended or bothered if her roommates decorated with something that strongly represented Christianity, such as a Nativity scene.
"The holiday is based on Jesus, so that might offend me," Asner said. "If it really offends me, I'll tell them about it. I'm not worried about telling them how I feel."
She said she would try to ease the tension of the differing holidays by giving her roommates Christmas presents.
Tonia Schoen, one of Asner's roommates, said she would not be bothered by Hanukkah decorations.
"There are Hanukkah presents sitting on our windowsill right now," said Schoen, Lenexa freshman. "It's fine with me."
Patricia Ford, Lawrence graduate student, is Buddhist and has had roommates of different religions. There were things roommates could do to ease tensions, she said.
"Don't try to convert them to your religion," Ford said. "Respect each other's faith and the differences in that."
Mimsy Winston, Lawrence junior, is Jewish and has lived with Christian roommates for three years.
In past years she and her roommates decorated together with symbols from both religions.
Winston said there were several things roommates of differing religions could do to ease tension if they wanted to decorate.
She said roommates should talk about it beforehand and they should avoid putting up symbols that were too religious, such as a cross or a Star of David.
Winston said she and her roommate decorate with seasonal holiday decorations rather than those linked to a specific religion.
Besides Christmas, there are other religious and cultural holidays this time of year, including Islamic Ramadan and African-American Kwanzaa.

KU film club to raise money with concert
By Emily Hughey writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Sometimes, the classroom just isn't big enough. That's why some University of Kansas students are moving into something bigger.
They're making movies.
KU Filmworks, a club for students interested in filmmaking, is finishing its first film, KU graduate Allan Holt's Ghost of a Chance. It's also beginning pre-production work on Fondue, a film written by students Tyler Rowe and Steve Berg, both Omaha. Neb., seniors.
The club has 20 regular members and is sponsoring a concert tonight at 7 p.m. at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The concert will raise money for the production of Fondue, a story about a group of people's interactions around a pot of fondue.
Ryan Dambro, president of KU Filmworks and director of Fondue, said he thought the screenplay was funny.
"It's just a little dark," said Dambro, Emporia And
"it's just senior. "And parts of it are a little surrealistic and absurd."
He said the club formed last year because the members wanted to put

together larger productions.
"We started Filmworks last year because a lot of us were getting close to graduation, and we all wanted to do one big production together," Dambro said. "We wanted to go into something bigger than we could do in the classroom."
He said the group probably would spend $25,000 on Fondue. $5,000 more than last year's Ghost of a Chance. He said the film, which is expected to be completed by the end of the summer, would take a lot of time and money to produce.
"All the money we raise will go toward Fondue," Dambro said. "The more time you put into it, the better it will be."
Dambro said the costs of making a film were higher than most people realized. He said portions of the total cost were designated for areas that included makeup effects, film stock, lighting equipment, camera equipment rental, camera rental insurance and meals, snacks and beverages for the cast and crew.
Jared Stone, Filmworks vice president and director of photography for Fondue, said he joined the club last year to gain more experience in the production industry.
KU Filmworks meets at 8 p.m. Thursday at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd St.
"I first got involved with it because I was a film major. But because of the constraint on resources and time in the classroom, our production opportunities are limited," said Stone, Lawrence senior. "This is an opportunity to earn real production experience. And you can get that by having a part in making your own film."

Festival of Trees launches season of giving
Public invited to view evergreen artwork, help youth organization
By Derek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
Christmas trees are heralding the season of giving at the 13th annual Festival of Trees.
Ann Bush, festival co-chairperson, said 51 trees had been decorated and donated this year by a variety of organizations. The trees will be auctioned tonight at Liberty Hall. 642 Massachusetts St. Proceeds will go to The Shelter, a non-profit organization that provides emergency services for Lawrence youth.
Trees will be on display from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow and Thursday. The auction and gala event will begin at 7 p.m.
Tickets to view the trees are $2 and children get in free. Money generated from ticket sales also goes to The Shelter. 105 W. 11 St.
Bush said the festival was a well-known event that generated both good cheer and money for a good cause.
"We've gotten great support from some of the local businesses who buy and donate trees," she said.
Other groups, such as community organizations and girl scout troops, also donated trees. Bush said.
Margey Frederick, coordinator for the KU Visitor Center, decorated and donated a tree with friend Marion Vernon.
of Fame. The tree, which contains 1,400 lights, was a year-long project Frederick said.
Frederick said the "Socks and Jocks" tree featured autographs from all 14 head coaches of University's athletic teams and 131 red and blue socks with names of each member of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation Hall
Judy Culley, director of The Shelter, said the auction had been a significant fund-raising event for the past 12 years.
"We really appreciate the support we get from the community," she said. "We're always just happy with what we get, and historically we've

done really well."
Last year, the festival raised more than $40,000. Culley said.
The Shelter's mission is to improve the lives of children and families in Lawrence. It provides emergency shelter services, adoption services, family foster care, juvenile intake and crisis intervention with children and families.
Culley said money from the festival was used for program enhancements. This year, it will be used for start-up costs for a new building being constructed in east Lawrence that will double the emergency shelter capacity the organization can provide.
"It's something we've wanted to do for a long time." Culley said.
The new building should be finished shortly after the first of the year, she said.
Culley said the festival was an event that benefited more than just the shelter.
"It's a really nice event for the community," she said. "It's fun to go down and look at the trees, and it's fun for the people who decorate the trees."

Athletic events use parking spaces needed for other campus events
It's no secret that parking at the University of Kansas is not ideal. Some think that the availability and location of parking lots on campus are the most inconvenient around. Others can attest to the fact that we are pretty lucky compared to other universities of our size. However, the inconvenient parking situation is compounded when taking into account that during football and basketball games the majority of the adjacent lots near the events are reserved.
But what about the students who unfortunately have to miss the big game to study at the library, or even those who decide to work out at the gym or see a play in the Murphy Hall theater?
nearby parking is taken or comes at a fee.
The University must protect the interests of students attending non-athletic events
Similarly, those who choose to use Robinson Center during a basketball game face parking woes; they may have to park and then walk a considerable distance because the Robinson lot is sold out. If the Athletics Department and the Parking Department continue to find it necessary to reserve so many lots for the various games, then a compromise must be made with those who need to be on campus during another event. Perhaps a free shuttle service around and through campus would solve the problem. The University must protect the interests of the students and faculty using other campus buildings, even if they are in the minority.
It is inevitable that at one point or another a basketball game will interfere with another major campus activity. Because of the large volume of traffic that needs to park for a game, many of the on-campus routes are closed or rerouted. The conflict here is that many students, faculty or alumni who would love to have the nearby access to an adjacent parking lot for a play in Murphy Hall, can not park there. Unfortunately, because of the necessity of parking for the thousands of basketball fans, that

Fraternity turkey torture needs to end
But, perhaps it is time for a tradition that that tortures a live animal to end.
One of the oldest parties west of the Mississippi happens at a University of Kansas fraternity. In its 116th year, the Beta Theta Pi "Turkey Pull" encompasses many of the shenanigans that turkeys pull.
perhaps it is time for a tradition that that tortures a live animal to end. Back in the good old days, the fraternity sent freshmen to "pull" or steal a live turkey from a local farm to become a mascot for the end of semester celebration.
Today, the Betas buy the turkey from a local turkey farm and keep it in a cage on the second floor of their house. The sorority next door, Kappa Alpha Theta, spends the week trying to paint the caged
If the Betas need a mascot for their formal, why not dress up a member in a turkey costume?
bird green, while the Beta pledges guard the bird. The greek game landed one Beta pledge in the emergency room last year to stitch up his head after he tripped on the stairs guarding the turkey.
Finally, the turkey is set free to roam the Beta house the night of the party. Last year's turkey was afraid to leave the cage and rightly so.
Scott Kaiser, a Beta and Overland Park senior, said the turkey was usually fine and people treated it
After the celebration, the hungover, terrified, green turkey probably counts the days until it can become Christmas dinner. The Betas don't eat it though, they return the bird back to the farm from which it came.
"Sometimes it gets into the drink (champagne), but that's of course on its own decision." Kaiser said.
What a silly tradition — the fraternity boys laugh but does the turkey? If the Betas need a mascot for their formal, why not dress a member up in a turkey costume instead of torturing a live bird? Of course, it still might be illegal for a freshman in a turkey costume "to get into the drink."

---
All this was somehow extremely abusive to this fellow. He became defensive and appeared to feel threatened by my thoughts on the world. That's when he started waving his arms and telling me to repent immediately and accept Jesus Christ
Almighty as my Lord and Savior or risk eternal damnation. Now, my mind might be tainted by the deceptive powers of the devil, but it seems to me that there is an important line to be drawn between being a person of faith and being a holier-thou jerk.
The young man argued heatedly that I should not call myself a Catholic if I also believe in things not recognized by the Church and proceeded to explain Catholicism to me. Incidentally, he was of a different faith and knew virtually nothing about Catholicism, but I'm glad he clarified for me the religion in which I was raised, baptized and confirmed.
When I called him on the fact that he, um, didn't know what he was talking about, he abruptly asked me. "Have you found Jesus?"
"Shoot, is someone looking for Him?" I asked. Yeah, cheap shot. Angered, he assured me that all those who do not recognize Jesus as their Savior would burn in the fiery depths of an underworld inferno.
This doesn't jive with me, because I'm sure there are plenty of impoverished but virtuous Buddhist children in China who have never heard of Jesus.
The good Christian insisted that while it is unfortunate, even morally sound Buddhist children will burn.
"Now do you see why it's so important to spread the Word?" he posited.
Hmmmm.
"So you're saying that in the eyes of God, your adherence to a certain religion is more important than personal character and the way you choose to live your life?" I asked.
His arms started waving again.
He paused. "Yes." (He began flipping through the Bible.) "Don't you think the facts that organized religion is run by imperfect human beings and that the Bible has been altered by those same flawed people would make one's personal relationship with the Lord more important than, say going to church three times a week or studying the Scriptures? I mean, aren't people who lie, cheat, steal and then insolently repent every Sunday morning sort of hypocrites?"
I don't hold anything against him for all this. I mean, he clearly was trying to save me. But from what? Thinking differently than he? I guess I'm just made uneasy when people think they own the ultimate answers. There is a difference between faith in God and arrogance in your own beliefs. I like to live life the way I see right and let others do as they please. Who am I to judge, right?
Before thousands of people write me in defense of organized religion, let me point out that my religion is an essential part of my life and that I believe demonstrating faith with people of similar beliefs is a beautiful, beneficial thing in countless ways. I'm just asking that people not forget to foster their personal spirituality amidst it all.
Samuel Coleridge once wrote, "He who begins loving Christianity better than truth will proceed by loving his own sect of chu ch better than Christianity and end in loving himself better than all."
Consider this when prioritizing your beliefs. If anyone else thinks I'm going to hell, feel free to tell me why, and I'll give it some thought. It just seems to me that demeaning one's self in a position to condemn a sinner is the greatest sin of all.

Feedback
Coverage of student's death disappointing
Surprised, no; disappointed,
yes. I am writing in regard to
the recent issue of the
University Daily Kansan that
reported about the death of
one of our fellow Jayhawks.
Admittedly, a top of the front
page article covered the loss of
Michelle Galus, possibly due to kidney failure, but gave more than adequate coverage to "The Chalupa Story" by allotting the bottom of the front page and a majority of page eight to four articles
J
about said consumable. This being said, I would like to propose that the Kansan is not covering as it has stated previously "campus issues," but is more in tune with writing about issues relating to the success of our sports teams. I must ask if the loss of a person's life is a small issue. The article about Michelle did not even cover what a nice obituary would, but asked a few people about her activities and what she was like, with no consideration given to her family and classmates whose lives she may have touched, if even
briefly. I am terribly irritated in the coverage about "the Chalupa" over articles about kidney disease, its detection, the need for donors, and other health related issues which might have had more to do with the lives of those on KU's campus. Please try to show more consideration in future articles concerning our respectable fellow Jayhawks.

New Year's fireworks considered
Millennium might begin with a bang
By Derek Prater

Kansas staff writer
It's beginning to look inevitable that the next millennium will begin with a bang in Lawrence.
At the Lawrence City Commission meeting last Tuesday, commissioners directed staff to draft an ordinance that would allow residents to shoot off fireworks on New Year's weekend.
The commission will vote on the ordinance at tonight's meeting.
City Manager Mike Wilden said the city had to address the
issue because the Douglas County Commission was considering a resolution that would allow the sale and use of fireworks in the county outside city limits.
"I expect the county resolution will pass, so we have to look at this issue as well." Wilden said.
The city's proposed policy on fireworks, however, differs from the one the county is considering.
The county commission will vote this week on a resolution that would allow the sale and use of fireworks Dec. 30 and 31 and Jan. 1.
City commissioners said they saw no need to shoot off fireworks Dec. 30. They said they would urge the county to amend its resolution.

In other city commission news:
Commissioners voted 4-0 last Tuesday to pass an ordinance
that will allow for the demolition of houses at 920, 924, 926 and 932 New Hampshire St. to clear space for a new Lawrence Arts Center. Commissioner David Dunfield abstained from the vote because he is employed by the architectural firm working on the Downtown 2000 project, which includes the arts center.
The decision came despite a finding by the Historic Resources Commission that the proposed project would encroach upon the environs of the Shalor Eldridge Residence at 945 Rhode Island St., which is on both the national and local registers of historic places.
The ordinance passed by the city commission stated that, "no feasible or prudent alternative exists to the proposed project."

Mono: a student's nightmare during all seasons
By Becky Lake
Special to the Kansan
Swollen glands and a sore throat could be a mere cold, or they could be symptoms of a much more serious illness — mononucleosis, a student's worst nightmare.
No stranger to the college campus, mono puts numerous students out of commission for months at a time. Some students believe their chances of contracting the mono virus are greater during midterms or finals time, but Randall Rock, Watkins Health Center chief of staff, said that is not the case.
"Mono is in the community during all seasons," Rock said.
Rock said mono was common not just among college students, but among everyone.
recuperate.
"Statistically, at some point in your life, you're going to have mononucleosis," he said.
Rock said although about 50 percent of incoming college students had already had mono before coming to college, the greatest risk period for contracting it is in adolescence or young adulthood.
Shannon O'Neill, St. Louis sophomore, had mono during the spring of her freshman year. After experiencing weeks of fatigue, O'Neill eventually went home to
"At the beginning, I was real tired and had no energy," she said. "I had an enlarged spleen, enlarged lymph nodes, extremely high fever and white dots on the inside of my throat. I felt sick for a good four weeks."
Kate Turnbull, Lawrence senior,
also had mono. In the spring of
her junior year, she said she felt
sick for about two months.
"The thing about mono is the complete frustration of not being able to do anything." Turnbull said. "I just got really sick of being really tired. The smallest things would become completely exhausted."
Heather Neuburger, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, recalled the intense exhaustion.
"I couldn't go out at all, even for an hour," she said. "It felt like I was just hit by a truck. I was so physically exhausted I couldn't stand."
Both O'Neill and Turnbull both missed class.
The time the sickness takes away from schoolwork was a drawback O'Neill said. She said she found it difficult to catch up in her classes. O'Neill said she contacted the Student Development Center to have letters sent out to her professors regarding her illness.
SYMPTOMS OF MONONUCLEOSIS:
Enlarged lymph nodes
Fangue Fever
How to avoid mono:
Keep regular sleep patterns
Do not exchange bodily fluids with others
Mary Ann Rasnak. Student Development Center director, said sending out a letter was an option.
"If the student is going to miss three or more days of class, we will notify the professors," Rasnak said. "We strongly encourage students to do their own notification. When students find themselves in positions where they can't make contacts, we will do so."
Jeanne Klein, associate professor of theater, said she had several students miss class because of long-term illnesses. She said she dealt with those students on a case-by-case basis.
"I leave it up to the student if he or she feels they can catch up," Klein said. "Sometimes the students decide themselves to go ahead and withdraw."
Rock said mono could lead to numerous absences.
"It is not uncommon for students to miss several days of class, and some students do need to drop out for the semester," he said.
The lack of aggressive treatment is particularly frustrating. Rock said mono could not be attacked in the same way as strep throat or another virus.
"Antibiotics used for a bacterial infection are no use for mononucleosis itself," Rock said. "There is no specific antibiotic that is used to treat mononucleosis, and there is no anti-viral drug used to treat mononucleosis. Most cases of mono are self-limited, meaning the body has the ability to overcome the mono."
Rock said mono could be contracted by the sharing of body fluids, as in sharing food, drink or cigarettes. He said that mono also could be passed by kissing, hence its name "the kissing disease." To avoid contracting mono, Rock suggested keeping the immune system strong by doing things such as having regular sleep patterns, eating regular meals and not sharing bodily fluids.
Rock said 50 percent of mononucleosis cases went undiagnosed.

Nelson Mandela's ex-wife may face criminal charges for ordering murders
The Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
SHAKENBURG, South Africa — A convicted murderer testified Monday that Winnie Madikizela-Mandela ordered at least two killings in 1988, opening the possibility that she could face criminal charges.
Madikizela-Mandela, the ex-wife of former South African President Nelson Mandela, was shown on television shaking her head as she listened to her former chief bodyguard, Jerry Richardson, during a hearing of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. She previously has denied involvement in any killings.
The testimony could leave Madikizela-Mandela open to prosecution because — unlike
Richardson, who is serving a life prison term — she has not applied for amnesty. Truth Commission
spokesman
Nhlanhla
Mbatha said.
"These hearings are being documented. The documents will be handed to the attorney general who will decide what course of action to take," Mbatha told The Associated Press.

Mandela: Convicted in 1991 of kidnapping and being an accessory to assault
Madikizela-Mandela, who is head of the African National
Congress' Women's League and a member of the party's policymaking national executive committee, quietly consulted with her lawyer during the hearing but didn't comment publicly.
She was convicted in 1991 of kidnapping and being an accessory to an assault on four young men at her Soweto home in December 1988. She was sentenced to six years in jail but ended up paying a $3,200 fine on appeal.
In a 1997 Truth Commission hearing, Madikizela-Mandela said accusations that she was behind a terror campaign in the black township of Soweto were lunacy.
The Truth Commission, created to expose abuses committed during apartheid, can grant amnesty to those who fully confess to politically motivated crimes.
GROZNY, Russia — Russian officials on Monday urged civilians hiding in basements beneath ruined homes in Grozny to flee the Chechen capital — a risky endeavor with Russian rockets screaming volleys into the city.
The Associated Press
Russia intensifies Chechen bombings
Federal forces showed no signs of easing up raids on the breakaway republic of Chechnya even as a top international mediator held talks in Moscow to arrange a visit to the republic. The Kremlin has dismissed international criticism of its campaign in Chechnya as meddling in Russia's internal affairs.
In brief intervals between the strikes Monday, civilians crawled out of basement shelters to fetch water and try to find food.
The Russians have intensified their bombardment of Grozny in the past week, leaving hundreds dead or wounded and destroying scores of buildings and homes. Russian officials estimate 50,000 civilians remain in the city, many of whom are old, infirm or lack transportation to leave.
Monday's raids hit one of Grozny's main thoroughfares, Vartkashenov Avenue, as well as residential
neighborhoods and a car market. Witnesses said there were casualties, but no figures immediately were available.
In Moscow, Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai Koshman, Russia's representative to Chechnya, said Moscow would rebuild Grozny when the war ended, but now was the time for civilians to flee.
Russian warplanes have been dropping leaflets on Grozny offering civilians a safe corridor out of the city, but it was not immediately clear how the residents would be able to safely flee the steady strikes.
Fleeing Chechnya also was proving difficult. The border post with neighboring Ingushetia was closed during the first half of the day, and an estimated 3,000 civilians, many of them from Grozny, formed a line more than a half-mile long at the border.
The closure was due to electricity and computer problems that prevented authorities from properly registering the refugees. They were fixed, and the border was opened in the afterpart, the military said.
The international community is pressing Russia to halt the offensive, complaining of widespread civilian casualties and the plight of the 233,000 refugees who have fled the fighting.

Tough win drops 'Huskers in poll
Seminoles, Hokies to play each other for championship
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
While Nebraska escaped Colorado with an overtime victory on Saturday, the Cornhuskers didn't leave with their national championship hopes intact.
By virtue of Nebraska's slim 36-33 overtime victory against the Buffaloes, the Cornhuskers further behind Virginia Tech in the weekly Bowl Championship Series rankings. Nebraska now has 7.70 points in the standings, 1.54 behind the second place Hokies.
The top two teams — the Hokies and No. 1 Florida State — will play in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 4. The BCS results rendered Saturday's Big 12 Conference Championship between the Cornhuskers and Texas virtually useless, at least for the national championship.
The rankings were decided by a formula determined by computers, and one computer expert said that Virginia Tech's lead was too great to overcome.
"There's no suspense," said Chicago-based computer expert Jerry Palm. "If Nebraska wins 50-0, I'm not sure that could overtake Virginia Tech."
While the results were disappointing for the Cornhusker community, nobody in Lincoln, Neb., could admit they were surprised.
In fact, Cornhusker kicker Josh Brown said a national championship was all but forgotten following the slim victory on Saturday.
"We're not even concentrating on the BCS right now," Brown said. "We just want wins. Our goal is to win the Big 12, and now

we have to beat Texas to do that. Whatever else happens is not in our control."
Meanwhile, undefeated Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer was satisfied with the rankings. He had said nothing was set until the final rankings were released.
"There's too much invested in the BCS so that the two best teams will play," Beamer said. "I personally think one of the teams has to be Virginia Tech. With all the hard work by our coaches and players, I would be devastated if we did not make it."
The BCS standings are based on a formula that considers The Associated Press media poll, the USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll, eight computer rankings, strength of schedule and losses.
Nebraska's narrow victory against the unranked Buffaloes proved devastating because the Hokies were rolling 38-14 against then-No. 22 Boston College.
Florida State and Virginia Tech are No.1 and No.2 in both the AP and coaches' polls.
The results both lowered Virginia Tech's computer average and raised the Cornhuskers' average, as the margin between the two teams is now much greater than the .63 points last week.
Kansas State is currently sixth in the rankings with 15.59 points, while fellow Big 12 members Texas and Texas A&M are ranked 11th and 15th, respectively.

AUSTIN, Texas — Texas started the season talking about the Final Four. After winning the Puerto Rico Shootout with two victories against ranked teams, that doesn't seem so far-fetched.
Texas earns highest ranking since 1982
The Longhorns (4-0) jumped from No. 20 to No. 9 in this week's Associated Press Top 25 poll, their first visit to the Top Ten since 1982.
"I don't know if any of us know how good we are," said second-year Texas coach Rick Barnes, whose first Longhorns team started 0-4 before winning the Big 12 Conference regular season title.
"I knew we had a different team than last year," Barnes said. "Chris Mihm and (forward) Gabe Muoneke are two of the top players in college basketball.
Texas beat No. 8 Michigan State and No. 22 DePaul in Puerto Rico. Seven-foot center Chris Miemhi was chosen the tournament's most valuable player.
"But to get to the Final Four, the first thing you have to do is get to the NCAA tournament and that's a long way away."
In 1982, the Longhorns won their first 14 games and went to No.5, their highest ranking ever. They lost 11 of 13 games, finishing 16-11 in Coach Abe Lemons' final season.
"We won't start 14-0." Barnes said. "Our schedule won't allow it."
The Longhorns will play No. 4 Arizona (4-0) Saturday before traveling to No. 20 Utah. The Longhorns also will play at Connecticut, home of the defending national champions, in early January.
"You'd like to keep things rolling along." Barnes said. "If we were getting into early January at No. 9, I'd be feeling pretty good."
Last week's preseason tournaments caused a lot of shuffling in the rankings as all but three teams in the preseason Top 10 have lost at least one game.
Cincinnati (4-0) remained No. 1 receiving 55 first-place votes and 1,671 points from the national media panel. They were the only team from last week's Top 10 to be in the same spot this week.
This is the 36th week in its history that Cincinnati has been ranked No. 1, moving past Kansas and into sixth place on the all-time list. UCLA leads with 128 weeks and is followed by Kentucky (87), North Carolina (79), Duke (70) and Indiana (43).

Ex-Haskell standout pushes herself to make it at Kansas
Continued from page 10A
Among the things Shield must deal with is a feeling of responsibility, not just for her family and herself, but for Native Americans.
When the Crow tribe member talks about why she decided to transfer to a more academically challenging — and predominately white — school like Kansas, she talks of pushing herself, of new experiences.
But she won't go more than a few minutes without discussing her race.
"As it is, Native Americans are already looked down upon as a lower class," she said. "We have to fight that."
Ask Shield if she wishes more Native Americans would follow her lead, and she doesn't hesitate.
tive view of us, we won't be that lower class. I can already see more Native Americans doing that, and I hope that continues.
"Definitely, I think they should take school more seriously and try to make something of themselves," she said. "If do that, others will have more pos-
"One of the problems is reservations. I wouldn't say it's depressing or anything, but everything is based on the tribe, and there's no jobs but tribal jobs. It's hard and that's why I came to Lawrence. If this doesn't work out, I'll probably go back, but I'm hoping everything happens like I want."
Homeratha said the school was thrilled to see one of its athletes make Kansas' team.
"It's the first time anything like this has happened since Billy Mills," he said. "She's always been real motivated, looking for new things to do. We're just all so happy for her. She's on the right track, and I think she'll do it. This will certainly give her a better lifestyle."

HOROSCOPES
Aries: Today is a 7.
You like things to be done correctly because you just love to be right. You like to be way out in front.
To accomplish that, details do matter. Fine-tune your machinery, and you'll win the race.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
You are doing pretty well today, especially in love Counsel your friends and loved ones to relax. You don't need much more than what you have. If you provide stability for one another, nothing else matters.
Today a lot of action is centered in your home. It might feel more like an ant's nest, but don't despair You may be the one to come up with a brilliant idea. If you haven't done that yet, keep hunting. It's in there — somewhere.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You're smart, and you retain what you're learning. Somebody in your life is rather difficult to deal with. You may discover something that doesn't work, and that's valuable. Pay attention to innuendoes, and stop doing something that's causing strife.
Leo: Today is a 7.
You want to spend more than you can afford.
That's kind of a hassle. You've talked yourself into this, and you probably will do it, too. Don't blame somebody else for a decision you're making.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
A friend wants to make a mess, and you want to keep things clean. How can this possibly work? Let the other person know how you feel. You're not going to give a thing by keeping your irritation to yourself. You won't win anything if you do that.
Libra: Today is a 7.
You are most likely going to be busy today. Unfortunately, what you're learning and what you need to know are not the same. You're having trouble conforming to the other person's routine. Blend old and new for best results.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7.
Your friends might want to come to your rescue, but they look like more of a hindrance than a help. Concentrate on the most important thing, and let others know what that is. Postpone a trivial matter until later.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
There's another test today. Prove that you can be excellent at what you do. Details matter. You're a great person. Everybody loves you, but neatness will earn you more points, too.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
You could run into trouble with a trip you have planned. Do your business on the phone or the Internet instead. If you must travel, give yourself plenty of time and check your car's fluid levels before starting — and pack a lunch.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
D
Again, you're looking for ways to make a buck. You want to keep your savings account fat, too. Don't fall for a "good deal." Leave your savings where they are. You don't want to be somebody else's windfall profit. Better safe than sorry.
2
You may get an opportunity to advance your career. It could come unexpectedly, so be ready. If you're the understudy in a play, for example, the big name star might not show up. You'd better make sure you know your part.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Two Cornhuskers win players of the week
DALLAS — Two Nebraska Cornhuskers were named Big 12 Conference Players of the Week after helping boost their team to the league's championship in San Antonio on Dec. 4.
I-back Dan Alexander received offi sive recognition and punter Dan
Hadenfeldt was named the league's standout specialty player after the Huskers beat Colorado 33-30 in overtime Saturday.
N
Cornhuskers favored despite losses to Texas
Hadenfeldt, who walked on with the Huskers as a punter, received his fourth nomination for the league's player of the week.
fish
Alexander, a junior from Wentzville, Mo., carried 17 times for 180 yards and three touchdowns in Nebraska's victory.
AUSTIN, Texas — Even after beating Nebraska three straight times since 1996, Texas players said Monday the Connushkers deserve their role as favorites in the Big 12 Conference championship.
Texas (9-3, 6-2 Big 12) is the only team to beat the third-ranked Cornhuskers (10-1, 7-1) three times in the 1990s, including a 24-20 victory in Austin Oct. 23.
But Nebraska's three national titles since 1994, and its status among college football's elite make the Huskers legitimate favorites on Saturday in San Antonio, Texas wide receiver Kwame Cavil said.
Probably only Texas fans think the Longhorns can beat the Cornhuskers, who are favored by eight points, Texas coach Mack Brown said.
"Everybody in America outside of Texas thinks we're going to lose," Brown said.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
ATHENS, Ga. — A disputed fumble call in the Georgia-Georgia Tech game looks like it was an error that heavily contributed to Tech's victory.
Replay reveals bad call in Georgia Tech win
Southeastern conference officials.
With the game tied, No. 12 Georgia was 2 yards from the Georgia Tech goal line in the closing minute Saturday after rallying from a 17-point deficit in the second half. Jasper Sanks ran into a lineman, the ball popped loose, and Chris Young recovered for No. 17 Georgia Tech with five seconds left, which forced overtime.
"It looks like they had a miss," said Bobby Gaston, supervisor of Southeastern Conference officials.
Television replays showed Sanks had both knees down when the rest of his body crashed to the ground, forcing the ball to come loose. But in college football there is no instant replay, so there was no chance for the officiating crew to get another look at the play.

'Hawks shooting stars excelled in tournament
Continued from page 10A
"That (Axtell's three) was big time," Kansas guard Marlon London said. "He so far out, I didn't think he'd shoot it."
But Axtell did, and if he and Boschee and Gregory and the rest of the team continue to light up opponents, there's no telling how far out those shots will get.
Basketball notes:
- Junior Kenny Gregory leads the team in scoring with 17.3 points per game and 70 percent shooting and is tied for second in rebounding with seven per game.
- Early season injuries appear to be a thing of the past as senior Lester Earl has played several minutes in each contest and has not shown signs of problems in his tendinitis-inflicted knee. Boschee, who injured his right ankle in the season-opener against Fairfield, has not shown signs of slowing down either. And junior transfer Luke Axtell, who broke a bone in his left hand last month, said after the Alaska tournament that he was feeling more in game shape everyday. Axtell has averaged 12 points per game.
Seven Jayhawks have averaged more than 19 minutes of playing time a game, and none have played more than center Eric Chenowith's 25 minutes a game.
Kansas tied a school record with 36 assists against Xavier in its second-round win of the Great Alaska Shootout.
While Kansas' field goal and three-point percentages are up, its free-throw percentage is down to a cool 65 percent.

Sharpshooters raise Jayhawk hopes
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
There sure is a sweet sound surrounding the Kansas men's basketball team this season. That sound is the ball going through the net.
As a team, the Jayhawks have played varying styles during their first four games. The one thing that has remained constant in the half-court sets and the fast break, run-and-gun style has been Kansas' high shooting percentage.
The No. 6 'Hawks (4-0) have lit up the nets for a scorching 52 percent from the field, and they have been blazing from behind the three-point arch — hitting 40 percent of their three-pointers.
Specifically, three players were responsible for warming up the cold Alaskan nights with their shooting last

weekend at the Great Alaska Shootout. Those players, sophomore Jeff Boschee and juniors Luke Axtell and Kenny Gregory, have shot a combined 66 for 92, 72 percent, on the season.
Gregory said the reason for the high percentage was not because the shots have been easier or even luckier. They have just been better.
really likes.
"If it keeps going like this, then I'm happy," Gregory said. "And if it changes, I guess I'll just have to adjust."
As for as knocking down so many threees, Axell said that the long-distance shots are what he does best, and they really go a long way in swinging the momentum of a game
10
Gregory: Leads Kansas with 17.3 points per game
"That is my shot," Axtell said. "It's what I've done. It's a huge lift to a team when somebody hits a three."
In Alaska, Boschee and Axtell provided the Jayhawks with lifts, hitting
key shots at key times as they combined to knock down 16 three-pointers in just 22 attempts. Even more important was the fact that the shots were open looks and came at crucial times.
Perhaps the most crucial of all of them came when Kansas trailed Georgia 56-55 late in a second-round game in Alaska.
A fully confident and fully capable Axtell stepped back, way back, and buried a three-pointer that gave Kansas the lead for good.
Whether it was a big three to regain control, like Axtell's against Georgia, or a burying three that put the game out of reach, Boschee and Axtell pierced the field leading the Jayhawks to the title.

Kansan sportswriter
This is not just a story about a University of Kansas student, although Robin Shield is a full-time junior in business and accounting.
This isn't just a story about a basketball player, although Shield did make Kansas' team as a walk-on.
And this isn't just a story about a wife or a mother, although Shield is both.
This is a story about a 21-year-old woman trying to make something of herself.
"I could have stayed there and graduated and everything, but I feel like I need the challenge," she said. "I just feel like if you want something, you have to go for it. Haskell is like one step above high school. KU is about three."
To do that, Shield, who grew up on a Montana reservation before attending Haskell Indian Nations University, transferred to Kansas this fall. It's a change that Phil Homeratha, Shield's coach at Haskell, called a different world. Gone are the easier classes, the familiar faces and the $70-per-semester tuition.
A road less traveled
At first one wonders why Shield is doing this. She was doing well at Haskell. She was on track to graduate, and was looked up to after she became Haskell's first non-track athlete to be named a second team All-American. She had a close group of friends.
At Kansas, she has none of that. Sure, she's doing well in her classes — she said they're a lot harder here, especially her economics class — but her role-model status as a standout athlete is gone. The 5-9 guard/forward is unlikely to see much
playing time for the No. 19 Jayhawks, and most students probably wouldn't even recognize her as a member of the team.
"Everything's faster in practice now, everyone's more serious," she said. "At Haskell, if you were doing something wrong, they'd just point it out to you. It was up to you to watch videos to improve, it was more fun. It's still fun playing basketball, but here it's much more serious."
And though she still sees her Haskell friends — her husband, Jeremy, works there — she spent this summer playing with the Jayhawks, and she hangs out with her new teammates more often.
Not that she's got a lot of spare time. Shield is a full-time student, practices basketball up to 20 hours each week and takes care of her two-year-old daughter, Jolona.
Shield is not the first mother to play for Kansas coach Marian Washington. Adrian Mitchell (1976-79) was a single mother and raised her daughter during her standout career at Kansas. Washington often babysat for Mitchell, Kansas' No. 2 all-time scorer, but much has changed since then.
"I'd have Adrian's daughter at my house, no problem," Washington said. "But it's been a long time; I don't know if that would still be allowed by the NCAA." OK. Shield said. She's got some
That's OK, Shield said. She's got somebody at home.
"A lot of people ask me how I do it, but it's the support of my husband," she said of Jeremy, who works full-time to pay for Robin's tuition, the family's expenses and even a computer. "He gives me 100 percent, and if it wasn't for him, there's no
way I'd be doing this. He could have left me, but he didn't."
Jeremy said he loved her and would support her.
"When she's done, she'll work so I can go to school," he said. "She could have gone to a lot of schools to play out of high school, but she got pregnant and couldn't. When she came here, I told her that if she wanted to continue her basketball somewhere, I would help her do that."
A Native-American role model
A Native-American role model
It's a life to which few Kansas students can relate. Shield has a full day of classes, then basketball practice, then homework, then taking care of a young daughter.
"She's living a little different life than the rest of us," junior point guard Jennifer Jackson said. "There's all these things she has to deal with that we don't."

Volleyball players earn all-conference honors
Bv Shawn Hutchinson
Reves and Myatt accounted for 46 percent of the team's kills, 42 percent of the team's attacks, 46 percent of the team's block solos, and 68 percent of the team's total blocks.
Kansan sportswriter
To get an idea of the impact that Amanda Reves and Amy Myatt had on the Kansas volleyball team this season, take the numerical approach.
sports@kansan.com
Those numbers were impressive enough to earn both players a spot on the 1999 AllBig 12 Conference Volleyball Team, which was announced Sunday after a vote by the league's coaches in Dallas.
Reves, a senior middle blocker from Denver, Colo., was named to the All-Big 12 First Team. Myatt, a junior outside hitter from Iowa City, Iowa, was named Honorable Mention All-Big 12.
"It's definitely an honor to be recognized with such an elite group of athletes," Reves said. "It's a reflection of all the hard work that my teammates and I put in this season."
After earning honorable-mention honors last year, Reves was first among the
Jayhawks this season in kills, 435, block solos, 25, and block assists. 115. She also is Kansas' all-time leader in kills, attack percentage and block assists.
During her career, Reves was named Big 12 Player of the Week twice, and was just the fourth Kansas player to earn first team all-conference accolades.
The road to eminence has been a bit bumper for Myatt, who played in only 16 games last year after suffering a stress fracture in her femur.
This season, Myatt was injury-free and lead the Jayhawks with 3.95 kills per game and a .242 attack percentage. Her 423 kills this season rank third on Kansas' single-season kills list.
On Sept. 4, she smoked a school-record 27 kills in a four-game match against West Virginia in the West Virginia Tournament in Morgantown, W.Va. That performance earned her the Most Valuable Player award for the tournament.
One week later, Myatt broke that record during a 3-1 home loss against Auburn by drilling 30 kills on 48 total attacks for a .479 attack percentage.

Chenowith not playing like an All-American
As much as it pains me to say this, it needs to be said: There's something wrong with Playboy magazine.
Eric Chenowith, an All-American? Please.
Watching Chenowith this season, I get the feeling he spent the off season reading his own press rather than making sure he would live up to it.
I certainly haven't detected anything he's added to his game, and it seems as though he's surprised when other teams challenge him.
Yes, he's got size and a nice shooting touch, and on occasion he's shown the skills to dominate. But he's also shown traits associated more with playboys than All-Americans — arrogance and laziness.
If he doesn't start showing up for each game, he better get used to being a sidebar to the story of freshman front court duo Nick Collison and Drew Gooden.
tans overlook his half-hearted effort
Name recognition may have gotten Chenwith chosen to the all-tournament team at the Great Alaska Shootout, but it won't make Kansas
and paltry numbers. With the exception of a strong first half against Georgia Tech, Chenowith looked as if he was lost in the Alaskan wilderness. The shorter players he guarded had no problem pushing him out of the lane or beating him to the boards — Chenowith had just

one rebound in 25 minutes against Xavier.
Offensively, he looked slow and out of rhythm. He shot just 41.4 percent from the field, averaging 10 points a game. Also, he averaged three turnovers.
These hardly are All-American-type numbers, especially with the way other big men around the country are playing.
Chris Mihm, Texas' 7-footer, made his case for best center in the nation at the Puerto Rico Shootout.
Mihm scored 23 points and grabbed 13 rebounds against then-No. 18 DePaul, and the next night put together 19 points, 11 boards, and he five blocked shots in an upset against then-No. 3 Michigan State.
Kenyon Martin is ripping violent dunks and putting up consistent numbers for top-ranked Cincinnati, and Loren Woods is dominating defensively for the talent-laden Arizona Wildcats.
From what I've seen so far, Chenowith doesn't even rank with the country's top five centers. He's certainly not playing as well as those mentioned above, and I wouldn't take him before Brendon Haywood from North Carolina or Etan Thomas from Syracuse.
That said, I think Chenowith could make himself into the best center in the country. His size and wingspan are features that can't be taught. When his head is in the game, he has a great knack for blocking shots both against his man and on help-side defense.
One encouraging sign is that Chenowith plays his best against other big centers. It's not a coincidence that his best game to date was against Georgia Tech's Alvin Jones and Jason Collier.
But until he decides that he wants to show up every night, Chenowith can forget about post-season All-American honors. It's more likely that you'll see me kicking it with some bunnies at the Playboy Mansion.
