African-American history month to begin tonight with diversity talk
By Ryan Blethen

Kansas stuff writer
An appearance by former U.S. Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders will highlight the celebration of Black History Month at the University of Kansas, which begins at 7 tonight with a lecture about diversity at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
Tonight's lecture, "When Stereotypes Kill," is a part of KU's Diversity Dialogue series. Maurice Bryan, director of the Equal Opportunity Office, will lead the program.
A series of events and activities are planned for the month. The events range from an appearance by Elders Thursday night to discussions about race and a basketball game.
"If These Walls Could Talk, African Americans of KU," the name for the month of activities, was developed by a history month committee directed by Robert Page, associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, in an attempt to relay the history of African Americans at the University.
"The name demonstrates the rich history African Americans have made at KU," he said.
This year's celebration of Black History Month includes more events than there have been in the past.
Black History Month grew from Negro History Week, which was created in February 1926 by Carter Woodson, a scholar and the second African American to receive his doctorate in history from Harvard University. The week was celebrated in February because it coincided with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. The week was expanded to a month in 1976.

Pumpkins kick off tour before capacity crowd

Kansan staff writer
The Smashing Pumpkins played to a capacity crowd last night from what lead singer Billy Corgan described as the band's "forcoming-major-labor-take-over-the-world-one-more-time album" MACHINA/ the machines of God.
More than 700 people — many of whom waited nearly 12 hours in freezing temperatures to purchase tickets to the show — packed the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., to view the spectacle. Doors opened at 9 p.m. and the band took the stage about 45 minutes later.
"Let us crawl inside your ears."
Corgan said, "Let us penetrate you."
"It's pretty good," said Matt Gerber, a Tulsa graduate student who canped out to get tickets. "They're playing

mostly new stuff. And the crowd's pretty into it, even though they don't recognize a lot of the new songs."
A glittery green drum set showcased returning drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, and colorful lights added even more glitz to the Pumpkin's powerful stage presence.
Katy Martin, Cherokee, Iowa, sophomore, said she thought the band interacted well with the crowd.
"I think it's good that Billy's been talking to the crowd," she said. "They act like they really want to be here."
Announced just a few days before, the show sold out in 24 minutes Sunday. It was the first show in the band's new world tour.
Before the show, band members signed autographs at Kief's CDs and Tapes. 2429 Iowa St.

had received a wrist band before the signing that guaranteed entry, but she said she wanted to try to get in anyway.
"I just kind of stopped over on the off chance that the line would go fast," she said. "It's not really a priority for me because I'll be at the show."
Brandon McCoy, Hutchinson freshman, said that he and his friends were among the first people allowed into the signing. He said the band members were friendly.
"They just kept saying, 'Did you guys catch a cold out there?' he said.
Karin Stone, from Betten Dorf, Iowa, ran from the building proclaiming she had kissed Corgan on the cheek.
"He said, 'Do I have a little bit of lip stick on my cheek now'?" she said.

Rescuers look for survivors after jet crash
The Associated Press
OXNARD, Calif. — An Alaska Airlines jet carrying at least 80 people plummeted into the Pacific Ocean 40 miles northwest of the Los Angeles airport yesterday after reporting mechanical problems. Several bodies were recovered from the chilly water, but there was no sign of survivors.
Flight 261 was heading from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to San Francisco and later to Seattle. It had been diverted to Los Angeles to attempt an emergency landing, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
A large field of debris rolled in big swells about eight miles offshore as aircraft and small boats converged on the site just before sunset. Hours later, the high-power lights of commercial squid boats illuminated the darkness as a cutter and small boats continued the search.
Several bodies were found, Coast Guard Lt. Chuck Diorio said, but he could not give a specific number.
"Every resource is out there to find people," said Coast Guard Capt. George Wright. "We're actively searching for survivors. ... In 58-degree water temperature, people can survive. We're not going to quit until we're positive there's absolutely no chance."
Alaska Airlines spokesman Jack Evans said there were 80 about passengers and five crew members, although the FAA reported fewer people on board.
The jet's crew had reported mechanical difficulties and asked to land at Los Angeles, said Ron Wilson, a representative for the San Francisco airport.
The airline said the pilot reported having problems with the stabilizer trim shortly before the plane crashed.
If a plane lost its horizontal stabilizer, it would have no means to keep the nose pointed at the proper angle up or down, and the plane would begin an uncontrollable dive.
The Coast Guard and Alaska Airlines put the time of the crash at 4:36 p.m.
Primary results to depend on independent voters
Bradley: Looks for the independent vote
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Voters of the state of New Hampshire, particularly independents, will do one of two things in today's primary — add or take away momentum from each party's front runner's campaign.
"The biggest thing with this primary is if the momentum of the front runners can be slowed down," said Allan Cigler, professor of political science.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona led
Republican-favorite Texas Gov. George W. Bush 38 percent to 35 percent in a WMUR-TV poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center on Saturday, The Nashua Telegraph reported yesterday.
"If Bush holds off McCain and as the primaries move to the South," Cigler said, "he'll be in pretty good shape."
The same goes for the race for the democratic nomination between Vice President Al Gore and Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey.
"Bradley has to stop Gore's momentum, Cigler said. "The most likely place for him to do that is in New Hampshire. If he doesn't, once it moves to the South, Gore will have an advantage."
Gore, who was a Tennessee senator before becoming Vice President, leads Bradley 53 percent to 42 percent in the WMUR poll.
Momentum or not, Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said this primary was more important for the Democrats than the Republicans.
"I honestly think that the New Hampshire Primary may not mean all that much, particularly to the Republicans," he said.

McCain: Leads Bush in some polls
Committee looking to form comprehensive campus safety plan
By Erinn R. Barcomb
Kansan staff writer
The dark walkway along Irving Hill Road between the Lied Center and Daisy Hill may be a little lighter someday.
— including lighting — from the campus safety committee. The committee is looking at campus crime statistics from the past several years to determine which areas to target for future improvements and to form a comprehensive safety plan for the campus, said Dede Seibel, student body vice president.
The area, which connects much-needed parking at the center with Daisy Hill residents, could receive safety improvements
The campus lighting fee, which goes into effect in July, ends in fiscal year 2001. Seibel said. Therefore, the fee review committee wants to see the fee broadened to a campus safety fee that would include other safety projects besides lighting, she said.
The proposal would have to be taken to Student Senate and to the fee review committee. Although the current $2 per student per semester fee could be reduced to $1, Seibel said the committee would institute the fee only if the University could match the funds.
Other areas for potential improvement include parking lots near the Computer Center, the Continuing Education Building and the 1300 block of Louisiana Street, home to three of the University's scholarship halls.
Seibel said parking lots at the University's residence halls also would be under consideration. Despite the designation of lot 60 near Grace Sellars Pearson-Corbin Hall as the rape lot, only two incidents of crime — neither of them rapes — were reported last year.
"You can't just look at the numbers." Seibel said. "It's what KU emanates in terms of safety. You rely on numbers quite a bit, but you have to consider the feelings
of students. Then you have to help those areas out."
Jessica Bankston, a Nunenaker senator the committee.
Jessica Bankston, a on the committee, said she was concerned about safety in the new parking garage by the Union because of what she heard about the garage that used to be near Jayhawker Towers.
Seibel: Wants to begin a plan to improve campus safety
"It's dark with multiple exits."
Bankston said. "I want to invest money now to prevent anything from happening. We put a

lot of money in getting blue phones, and I think the perception of feeling safe is important."
Seibel said the installation of safety cameras could be one option to make campus parking lots more safe from property damage.
campus phones installed in the garage as well. While blue phones only ring the KU Public Safety Office, Bankston said the campus phones could be used to call a friend or Saferide if someone needed help or a ride home.
Bankston said she liked the idea of putting cameras in the garage.
"Personally, I think it's a good idea," she said. "We don't have a lot of person-to-person crime. It's mostly property crime. I don't see them as being installed to monitor anyone's day-to-day activity."
However, the idea does not sit so well with some of the committee's other members.
J. D. Jenkins, holdover senator, joked at Friday's meeting that some vandalism occurs in residence halls and, therefore, maybe cameras should be installed in students' rooms.

CAMPUS
Continuing education offers five new classes
The division of continuing education is continuing its community outreach program this semester with five new KU for Lawrence courses this semester.
KU for Lawrence is a community outreach program that began last semester, said Marilyn Hull, program developer for academic and professional programs.
Community outreach courses are relatively new for the University. Hull said most of the University's past continuing education courses had been professional development programs or academic correspondence courses.
The KU for Lawrence program offers two-to six-week-long evening courses aimed at members of the Lawrence community, Hull said. The courses are taught by KU faculty members.
"People in the community have wanted them for years and years," she said.
The division of continuing education has been unable to offer many evening community courses until recently, Hull said. Now that continuing education is in its new building at 1515 St. Andrews Drive, it has the space for its own courses, she said.
The classes meet one evening a week for two hours. The courses cost between $20 and $60, depending on the length of the course.
The five new courses are: Eastern Europe and Russia Since the Cold War; Redefining Your Retirement; Scientific-Religious Tensions Through the Ages; How to Enjoy Live Dance; and Making Presentations.
Details and registration information are available on the continuing education web site http://www.kuce.org/kufor/info.html.

Meeting at Union to focus on future of Jaybowl
Students who have taken issue with the recent proposal to turn the Jaybowl into a cybercafe will have a chance to voice their concerns at a Town Hall meeting tonight.
David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, is set to discuss the Jaybowl proposal — along with other Union renovation plans — at 7 p.m. at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Kevin Yoder, president of the Memorial Corp. Board, said many of the plans on the agenda for discussion had been addressed in the past but had been updated with more accurate information.
Mucci said he thought the entire discussion probably would center on the Javbowl.
"I think most of the commentary will come from the people concerned about the loss of the lanes," he said. "We're going to hear about the pros and cons and see where that takes us."
Mucci said Alderson Auditorium — capacity 189 — had been booked with the expectation that at least 100 people would attend.
The Save the Jaybow Initiative circulated a petition on campus last month that gamered 3,500 signatures in support of leaving the Jaybow untouched.
Mucci said he was interested in giving everyone a chance to speak and getting ideas and concerns on the table.
"There will be a little discussion of Phase III plans in front of that to put things in context," he said. "If we're going to make any changes to the Jaybowl, now is the time to do it."
Yoder encouraged everyone planning to attend the meeting to educate themselves about all the potential proposals in order to have a more informed opinion.

Student struck in head by beer bottle at party
A 19-year-old male KU student sustained minor head injuries when he was struck in the head with a beer bottle at a party early Sunday morning, Lawrence police said.
The victim of the attack apparently was attending a house party in the 1200 block of Ohio Street, police said. He was inside the house when a fight erupted outside.
Sgt. George Wheeler said the police were dispatched to Lawrence Memorial Hospital at 3:30 a.m. Sunday in reference to a battery.
Wheeler said the victim went outside to watch the fight. He was standing among a crowd of people when someone threw a glass bottle and hit him in the head, he said.

Jayhawk Cafe damaged with anti-greek graffiti
An Oread neighborhood bar was the target of an early morning vandal Saturday.
John Heleniak, owner of the Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St., reported $100 damage to an exterior wall that occurred some time between 3 a.m. and noon Saturday.
Heleni described the vandalism as anti-greek raffiti.
"It said stuff like 'die froats,'" he said.
"Someone also spray painted the Coke machine out front in the same incident."
The graffiti on the building was written with blue and black wide magic markers and included miscellaneous Greek symbols, Sgt. George Wheeler said that the hateful messages were not directed at one Greek organization in particular.
Heleniak said he had not been able to paint on the graffiti yet because of cold temperatures, but he had used acetone to smudge the message into the wall so it was illigible.
The same suspect seems to have left a characteristic signature on other signs in the neighborhood, Heleniak said.
Heleniak said his bar had not experienced any similar incidents in the past.
Counterfeit $100 bills turn up at restaurants
Lawrence police are warning residents and local businesses of a potential counterfeiting scheme that has caused a significant monetary loss for a Lawrence restaurant.
Sgt. George Wheeler said the counter felt bills that had surfaced all were $100 bills. He said they were pretty easy to spot.
Wheeler said the counterfeit bills were brought to the department's attention when it received a call from BarbWire Steak House, 2412 Iowa St., at 10:39 a.m. Saturday, Emprise Bank employees apparently found eight false $100 bills in the restaurant's night deposit bag form the night before. Wheeler said.
Restaurant employees were not sure when they received the bills, he said.
When they received the bills he said. He said they had taken another call on a related incident at 7:25 p.m. Saturday. Someone apparently tried to pass a single $100 counterfeit bill at Long John Silvers Seafood Shoppe, 1503 W. 23rd St. Employees recognized the bill as phony and refused to accept it. The suspect left the premises. Wheeler said, and was gone when police arrived

Fate of Education Board in question
By Katrina Hull
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — Heads are yet to roll following the State Board of Education's August decision to de-emphasize the teaching of evolution.
The board's fate lies with Kansas legislators who will begin discussing possible changes to the board's structure
— including abolishment — today in the House Education Committee.
But legislators say that although the evolution issue may arise, it won't factor much into the coming deliberations.
"I hope that discussion will be minimal, because my interest
in the issue doesn't come from evolution," said Rep. Ralph Tanner, R-Baldwin and education committee chairman.
Only a state constitutional amendment can change or abolish the board, which would require a two-thirds vote of the House and the Senate plus approval by the majority of Kansas voters.
Three 1999 proposals to restructure the board do not call for abolishment. But Tanner said a fourth proposal abolishing the board would be introduced this week by himself, House speaker Robin Jennison, R-Healy, and Rep. Henry Helgerson, D-Wichita and education committee rank
ing minority.
The Legislature has approved constitutional amendments twice before that abolished the board, but Kansas voters never have endorsed the idea and Democrats say that's not likely to change.
"In an election year, people don't give up their right to vote and aren't apt to favor a proposal that does," said Rep. Sue Storm, D-Overland Park.
An amendment that abolishes the board undermines local control, said Rep. Troy Findley, D-Lawrence. Findley proposes adding an 11th member and electing board members from single-member districts, instead of the combined four
senatorial districts currently used.
Rep. David Adkins, R-Leawood, also proposes adding an 11th member, but that member would be appointed by the governor and sit in the governor's cabinet.
Another proposal by Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, leaves the board at 10 members but includes a governor-appointed education commissioner to serve as the executive director of the board.
Sloan said that under his proposal, the board would become advisory instead of self-inclusive, a term that means the board currently is mainly accountable to itself.
Tanner said he didn't mind keeping the board in place, but he favored a proposal such as Sloan's that made the board advisory.
Changing the board's function would correct a mistake made by the 1972 Kansas Supreme Court, he said. That decision gave the board general supervision, which translates into a more than an advisory role.
Tanner said that decision went against the original intentions of legislators who controlled the purse strings and wanted a board that only advised.
"The legislative intent is to have the people who pay the bills make the decision," he said.

Busier people prefer quick, sugary foods
By Jessie Meyer writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
With only 10 minutes between classes, grabbing a healthy meal is next to impossible, and finding a healthy, flavorful snack on campus can be just as tricky. However, it can be done.
Because of the time crunch, many students give in to the grab-and-go convenience of candy bars and potato chips. Others ignore their growling stomachs and skip the snack altogether.
"You definitely want to snack between meals," said Ann Chapman, registered dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "But the worst choice is going to be regular soda pop and candy bars."
Chapman said that eating unhealthy snacks could lead to weight gain and high cholesterol levels and that drinking a lot of caffeinated beverages could lead to dehydration.
were available at Wescoe Terrace, but that students tended to grab things high in calories and fat anyway.
Although the specific number of calories needed each day varies greatly from person to person, she said that the average college student needed between 2,200 and 2,300 calories each day. Chapman said a can of pop and a candy bar would be about 700 calories, or one third of the recommended daily allowance.
"They start out healthy in the morning," Harvey said. "In the afternoon, they want something that will wake them up, so they reach for caffeine and sugar."
Matt Curtis, Tulsa, Okla., freshman, said he chose a bag of Doritos as an afternoon snack on his way to class because he needed something to keep him going through class and work.
Don Harvey, assistant manager of Wesco Terrace, said a wide variety of snack foods
"I eat unhealthy because I am in a hurry." Curtis said.
Although it may seem easier to grab a candy bar, making a healthy choice is no more time consuming. Chapman suggested several nutritional foods that could be substituted to reduce the empty calories that sugar-filled foods contain.
"Yogurt is an excellent choice," Chapman said. "Fresh fruit is always good."
"They start out healthy in the morning. In the afternoon, they want something that will wake them up, so they reach for caffeine and sugar."
Chapman also suggested bagels, pretzels, pudding, fruit juices and hot cocoa as substitutes for doughnuts, potato chips, candy, soda pops and coffee.
Despite similar prices, Harvey said that high-calorie and fattening snacks generally were sold more than the healthier substitutes.
Becky Leipziger, St. Louis freshman, said she tried to eat fairly healthy.
"I usually just get a sandwich and bag of chips." Leipziger said. "There is more junk food offered."
Chapman said the best way to change eating habits was to gradually withdraw certain foods. She said to slowly remove fattening foods, but

still leave some weekly treats in for rewards.
There are several places on campus to grab a quick snack. The Kansas and Burge unions and Wescoe Terrace offer both meals and snacks. For students with student housing contracts who don't have time to eat in one of the three cafeterias, E's Express in Hashinger Hall provides convenient take-out food.
"They have options to chose from that are lighter and not as caloric," said Nona Golledge, assistant director of student housing. "It's great for their on-the-go lifestyles."
Golledge said the items purchased were not paid for individually. Instead, a meal is deducted from the students' meal plans when they purchase a limited number of items.

Class helps students adjust to college life

Every semester, the Office of New Student Orientation and the department of psychology and research in education offer incoming freshmen a map for the college maze called Pre 101.
The 16-week course is designed to help incoming freshmen make the transition from high school to college, said Mary Ryan, director of new student orientation.
The course is taught through the School of Education. Students receive two credit hours for the class.
A recent study of the course indicates that it's doing its job.
The course, which has been offered at the University since 1990, touched on everything from critical thinking and studying skills to navigating the campus and diversity training. Ryan said.
She said that an eight-year study of the course determined that students who took the course had an advantage ahead of their peers.
"Our research indicated that students who took the course had higher retention rates, higher graduation rates and sometimes higher GPAs." Rvan said.
Ryan said the content of the course varied depending on the instructor, but that students usually were required to keep a journal of their experiences that they turned in to their instructors.
"The journal writing encourages students to reflect," Ryan said. "It's often more comfortable if a student has a problem to write it in a journal as opposed to raising their hand."
Ryan said journal writing often helped students identify problems they might be having and it helped instructors work with students to find solutions.
In addition to journal writing, students also divide into groups and are instructed to explore different resources on campus. The students then give presentations on what they discovered.
Brandon Winter, Leawood sophomore, took Pre 101 his freshmen year. Winter said he had benefited the most
from exploring different resources.
"You learn a lot about the different organizations that are out there and where to go for specific things." Winter said.
The course is divided into a lecture section and eight discussion sections led by student volunteers.
Kori Green, Great Bend senior and Pre 101 discussion leader, said the discussions offered students a chance to express their thoughts and feelings about an array of different subjects.
"I think it's important for them to realize that there are other students who have been through it and survived." Green said.
Green said the discussion topics dealt with issues such as academic integrity, relationships, leadership and values.
We had an interesting discussion in my class last semester about values," Green said. "We were talking about religion, and the students really got involved. It was interesting to watch their world views expand and realize that they are a lot of different religions out there that all share the same values."
Ryan said that a majority of the instructors who taught Pre 101 did so on a volunteer basis.
"Last semester, 14 of the 18 instructors were volunteers from different departments," Ryan said.
She said that about 10 percent of the freshman class opted to take Pre 101 each semester. The Office of New Student Orientation is considering expanding the class to include special sections for transfer students and non-traditional students, she said.
Winter said that although the course wasn't as easy as he thought it would be, he still enjoyed it.
Rvan agreed.
"I would definitely recommend it," Winter said. "It made things a lot easier and helped me get more involved."
"A lot of students tell me they wish they would have taken the course when they first came to the University," Ryan said. "For me, as director of new student orientation, teaching my section is a great way to see how 20 of the 5,000 or so students who come through this office are getting along."

Canceling all late-night parties does not ensure students' safety
Last week, the University of Kansas issued a moratorium on late-night parties at the Kansas and Burge unions in response to the recent shooting of a student at a fraternity party at the Burge Union. While the shooting came as a surprise and a scare to students, faculty and staff alike, canceling all late-night parties is a peremptory and ineffective way to address safety concerns.
University officials certainly were justified in trying to ensure that the campus is a safe environment for students. However, the Burge shooting is an isolated incident, and there is no concrete indication that something similar may happen again. Our campus is not violence-ridden and by no means can be treated like a highcrime area.
University should cooperate with students to implement more stringent safety measures
Undoubtedly, some additional safety measures should be implemented, but that doesn't mean that University life should halt for an indefinite period of time. Ideally, the University could have canceled only the next weekend's events and used that time to devise specific safety measures.
The groups mainly affected by the moratorium are minority greek organizations, who have no chapter houses on or off campus. Therefore, the unions are the most economical and safe places for these organizations to
have parties. Banning these parties may force them to find other less safe areas to have parties — if they can finance them — actually placing them in more jeopardy.
Now that the University has issued a moratorium, however, it is hoped that it will be applied uniformly among late-night events sponsored by all student organizations, not just minority fraternity or sororities.
The bottom line is that violent incidents can happen anywhere. The University cannot let a one-time occurrence control a part of campus life. Campus security is not a Herculean task. Officials should cooperate with the organizations sponsoring the events to implement the necessary security measures instead of just canceling them.

Macroevolution not only victim of BOE's decision
It also removed references to the Big Bang, geological time and global warming, and it redefined the nature of science. The ramifications of the BOE's changes are far more serious than you have indicated.
In Drew Ryun's opinion piece, he said the board only removed references to macroevolution. That is inaccurate.

Student fees are like taxes should not be selective
I noticed Drew Ryun thought it was a good idea to allow students to pick and choose the individual groups their student activities fees go to support. If this is so, does he also think it is a good idea to allow individual taxpayers to choose what government activities our taxes support? If so, I really would like to check a box on my 1040 tax form to make sure none of my taxes go to buy any more B-2 bombers. After all, I personally disagree with the B-2 program.
Most rational people would say that my idea is crazy; that is why we elect representatives to decide how to spend citizens' tax dollars. Well, the same thing goes for student representatives; we elect them to determine how to spend our student activity fees. The system works and should not be changed.

Condemnation of gays is mistranslation of Bible
Scott Miller St. Louis, Mo., resident
I was both amused and saddened by Ralph
Kansan staff
Gordon's Jan. 24 letter expressing outrage over religious leaders' support of equal rights for gay Americans. Can Gordon really know so little about the Bible, the book by which he apparently lives his life?
The truth is this: The Bible never condemns gay men and women or their acts. Modern day Bibles have unfortunately mistranslated the original Greek and Hebrew texts, which do not ever even mention homosexuality, since the concept was completely unknown to them (kind of like jet propulsion). The word didn't even appear in Bibles until the 1940s. There are, in actuality, no references at all to gay men and women in the original texts of the Bible. The Bible only condemns rape, pagan rituals, prostitution and adultery — the same taboos for straight and gay people alike.
For example, the sin of the people of Sodom was a lack of hospitality to strangers, not one of being gay. At that time in history, conquering armies often raped the soldiers of the armies they defeated. And that is what the men of Sodom did to the angels. Surely Gordon doesn't think that all soldiers at that time were gay, does he? That would certainly change the gays in the military debate.
Unfortunately, as long as Bibles with these mistranslations are around, people like Gordon will indulge in sound-bite religion and continue to claim God disapproves of gay Americans or their private acts. The truth is neither God nor Jesus has weighed in on this issue yet—perhaps because it shouldn't be an issue to begin with.

Want a college degree? Hand over your wallet
Welcome to the Modern State University; it may just be a brave new world after all. Relax, we have CocaCola and other corporate sponsors to finance our educations — even in the face of big, bad government budget cuts. And if they cut too deep, just raise tuition a little bit.
What's the big deal? The newly approved tuition increase at Kansas universities may not seem like much; it's only a few more dollars per credit hour and it does take a lot of money to run a university, but steadily increases add up quickly.
Erin
Goodison
columnist
sporian@kansan.com
If conventional wisdom holds any truth, and in this case it seems to the cost of a college education has risen at a rate far out of proportion with other cost-of-liv
ing increases during the last few decades. That means minimum wage — what most college students make — is not increasing fast enough to keep pace with skyrocketing tuition and other costs. The implications of this are greater than just higher prices, and it's not just this one little tuition increase that bothers me.
What we are facing is an elimination of choices.
In today's job market in almost any field, a bachelor's degree is the minimum requirement. High school graduates either must go to college or fight for a low-paying job that may not even provide health coverage. Enrollment rates suggest that most choose some type of college, if they can find a way to afford it. Minimum-wage jobs just can't cut it, especially when they're part time, and part-time jobs don't provide health insurance. In order to be covered by a parent's insurance policy, one must be a full-time student, which cuts into possible working hours. Many students take federal loans to make ends meet as they work part time and carry a full course load.
I am one of those students. Even with scholarships, a job and help from my parents, I have had to borrow money to cover the costs of education at my home state's university. I appreciate very much the government money that has allowed me to get a good education and remain fully insured and well-fed during my years at the
University of Kansas. Additional student loans even have allowed me to study abroad. However, many less-fortunate students have to borrow more to get less out of their college experiences.
As with most things, the real catch comes at the end. I will graduate next spring with about $10,000 in debt to the federal government, a large but not unusual amount for an undergraduate degree. After graduation, how do I begin to repay the loans? What about that pesky health insurance? These are the questions that my friends and I are beginning to ask ourselves.
The possible answers are limited: Go directly to graduate school, probably borrowing more money and deferring loan repayment, or go directly to work. The same job market that demands a bachelor's degree is not necessarily welcoming once you have obtained it. Because so many people now go on to some form of higher education, the degree itself opens fewer doors. College graduates are often forced to immediately take relatively low-paying jobs because they are the only jobs available, and waiting to work is rarely an option. If graduates are lucky, they won't have any lapses in their insurance.
This is a university and theoretically we are all adults here. Adults are supposed to be able to make tough decisions. We may not get exactly what we want when we want it, but I believe it's completely legitimate to expect college graduates to be relatively well-informed individuals who have viable alternatives to working in the company store. Unfortunately, the cycle of debt that begins in college — thanks to expensive tuition, unaffordable health insurance and the limited means of obtaining both — eliminates many options and spits graduates out into the work force, the New Company Store. This is where you do time in your cubicle until you pay off your debts — if you're lucky enough. And don't even think about starting a family.
This runs contrary to all the ideals of higher education and is certainly not in accordance with the wishes of most graduates. If KU students can get upset about the loss of choices regarding soft drinks and radio station formats, they reasonably may be offended by government budget cuts to the University and tuition price hikes that effectively limit their choices regarding life and livelihood. We may be cheap, educated labor, but I don't want to live in a brave new world or go to work at the New Company Store.

If suits and handshakes fail, take to the streets
For those of you who ever make it to the end of my columns (I'll be happy to take you both out to dinner sometime), you'll notice that I'm majoring in international studies.
For the most part, I'm not particularly interested in U.S. politics (with the notable exception of gun control) and could care even less about local government — highway construction and farm subsidies don't seem to hold my attention. But every once in a while, in the not-so-great state of Kansas, the government does something so stupid and so shortsighted that even an internationalist like me pays attention.

PATRICK SCHNEIDER
When Gov. Bill Graves and the Kansas Legislature
approved tax cuts last year, they evidently forgot — to borrow a line from the KU Young Democrats — that it would mean less revenue. That has led not only to across-the-board spending cuts, including here at the University of Kansas, but also to tuition increases. More succinctly, we will be paying more and getting less
But wait, there's more. Two years ago, the Legislature agreed to match funds to improve technology: For each dollar we paid, it was to pay two. We cleverly call it 2-for-1 technology money. This was not a backroom deal, nor was it a "gentleman's agreement." It was akin to a contract. We've kept our part of the bargain by raising student fees by one dollar. But the Legislature hasn't kept its part and, instead, has cut its commitment in half.
But this isn't fair, you say. Unfortunately, we have given the Legislature and the Board of Regents good reason to assume that keeping the cost of education low is not one our priorities. Last spring, students approved a $88-per-year fee hike to pay for a new recreation center. Some of you surely are saying, "Tsk, tsk, Erin."
Many students believe that politics don't affect their lives. I wonder if they'll remain convinced of that when they pay their tuition bills next semester. And if they aren't, I hope to see them on the Capitol steps.
you are playing politics!" You bet I am. I was bitterly opposed to the new recreation center last spring, and the more I think about it, the worse an idea I realize it is. That referendum sent a clear message to the Regents and others in Topeka that KU students are NOT opposed to fee increases. Tuition hikes and broken promises were the result. Feel free to thank Kevin Yoder if you see him.
The problem is further complicated in the lobbying strategy of the student body president and others in Student Senate. Last week, a protest took place at the state Capitol; no KU students were involved because Korb Maxwell would rather do his work in the halls of the Legislature. I've gone with Korb to lobby in Topeka. I even wrote the statewide lobbying brochure last year. It's one of the most frustrating experiences I've ever had. Legislators pat you on your head and send you on your way. There is a time and place for suits and handshakes, and there is a time when you dig in, clench your fist and protest on the Capitol steps.
But in all honesty, it's not all Korb's fault. We go to school in a state where many legislators refuse to acknowledge the value of higher education, where many lawmakers lack such education and where the University is referred to by many in Topeka as "Snob Hill." In a state where some legislators think all state highways should be toll roads, getting funding for something so abstract and long term as higher education always is going to be a struggle.
But why should the Legislature even listen to students? We don't vote, and we certainly don't contribute any money. It's of almost no political consequence for the Legislature to raise tuition or break promises.

New Hampshire Primary
Candidates prepare for primary
and Forbes...
George W. Bush vs McCain
and Kerry...
Independent votes key to primary win
Continued from page 1A
"Even if McCain wins, Bush can kind of shrug it off. If Bradley beats Gore, though, that might open things up for him."
But one thing that Bradley and McCain have going for them, Loomis said, is the number of independent voters in New Hampshire.
"Registered independents can vote in either primary," he said. "One of the most interesting things in this primary is that Bradley and McCain are competing against each other for independent votes."
Jack Martin, President of KU Young Democrats, agreed with Loomis.
"It's a matter of whether the independents vote republican or democrat," he said. "You can't really predict what they'll do. New Hampshire is a funny state."
More people are registered as independents than Republicans or Democrats in New Hampshire, New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner said.
Cigler said that independents had the ability to make or break Bradley and McCain's showing.
"One difference in the way that independents can participate in the primary is the way they can help McCain and Bradley." Cigler said. "If the independents move to aid McCain, or move en masse to help Bradley a little bit, it could be what they need."
Gardner predicted that more than 351,000 voters, 47.5 percent of the state's registered voters, would cast their ballots today.
Presidential hopefuls shovel sidewalks, bowl to connect with voters
The Associated Press
NASHUA, N.H. — The presidential candidates shoved snow, flipped pancakes and trudged through the slushy streets of New Hampshire yesterday, waging handshake-to-handshake combat to the finish of their hard-fought primary races.
With the field puzzling about ways to get supporters to voting booths, Sen. John McCain joked that he had the answer, "Death threats," the Arizona Republican said, "If they don't go out, and don't vote for McCain, then don't start your car for the next week."
Kidding aside, the stakes were high for McCain who badly needs a victory in his nomination fight with better-financed George W. Bush. Bush is seeking a come-from-behind victory here to burnish his front-running
vatives Steve Forbes, Alan Keyes and Gary Bauer are trying to show they still have a chance.
"I'm confident of victory," McCain said. Recent polls give McCain a slight edge.
"I like my chances a lot," said Bush, whose aides said momentum was on his side, even if time wasn't.
Democrats Al Gore and Bill Bradley were locked in a race that could determine the staying power of Bradley's insurgent campaign.
"We're closing fast," Bradley said, as polls showed the former New Jersey senator trailing Gore but posing a threat in their bitterly fought race. Bradley has enough money to weather a New Hampshire loss more easily than McCain.
The candidates' schedules were all made-for-TV, though one photo opportunity didn't turn out as planned for the struggling Bauer campaign. He tumbled off the stage during a pancake-flipping demonstration. The griddle pan was bent, but the candidate was unhurt.
Bush flipped pancakes, too. The Texas governor also toured a crime lab and stopped at a bowling alley and a sledding hill — speeding down in a red, white and blue inner tube with 13-year-old twins Lizzy and Laura Saggau of Merrimack.
Gore was out before dawn, shaking hands in the freezing rain outside the Lockheed Sanders plant. Later he met at a nursing home with senior citizens, most of them in wheelchairs, to renew his claim that Bradley's health care plan would replace their Medicaid with $150-a-month vouchers. Bradley maintains, however, that his health care plan would leave in place federal aid that states now get from Medicaid for nursing home care.
Forbes was the only candidate to pass up a picture, refusing to dip his hands into a lobster tank at Fred Daley's fish store in Exeter.
Bradley paid $15.99 for a red snow shovel then cleared the sidewalk in front of Aubuchon Hardware in Concord.
The key to both contests could be independents, who can vote in either primary. Though a majority of New Hampshire independents are actually party-line voters, a small portion of the state's electorate can swing either way, and are being courted by both Bradley and McCain.
That could account for the differences in overnight polls, particularly for the GOP race in which surveys show everything from a McCain lead to an edge for Bush. Polls that include a large sample of independents tend to favor McCain, with Bush doing better when fewer independents are factored in.
Julie Simons caught McCain's act Friday and attended Bradley's town hall yesterday in Hollis.
"I think I've made up my mind," she said. "Bradley just comes across loud and clear. I like his style."
Not by accident, McCain and Bradley sounded similar themes in their last full day of campaigning.
The Democrat said a vote for him would send a message to this country that the old

ways are finished and the new politics have arrived. The Republican said a vote for him would send a message from New Hampshire to America and the world that we're going to give the government back to the people.
Bush supporters said he would do better than polls suggest, because Republicans were more likely than independents to vote today.
Candidates ignore small New Hampshire town
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, N.H. — George Washington never slept here. President Grover Cleveland was a no-show. And long-time residents of this charming little town say none of the candidates in New Hampshire's primary have visited — not this year, not ever.
"We're kind of forgotten," said Al Krygeris, one of the town assessors.
The town clerk and tax collector, Janice Philbrick, is a semi-official authority on Washington — she is one of only a few dozen adults who have lived here most of their lives.
"I don't remember any candidates coming," said Philbrick, 56. "Not that I'd want to swear on a stack of Bibles."
Incorporated in 1776 — 15 years before the national capital first took shape on a map — this Washington has 26 lakes and ponds, but no other stores. Scattered across 50 hilly square miles are about 850 inhabitants, many of them retirees who settled full time into former vacation homes.
Through five decades of the state's first in the nation primaries, presidential candidates have shown up in nearby Hillsboro and Newport, but not in Washington. Getting here entails at least a 20-minute detour off the nearest major highways in southwestern New Hampshire.
The town common looks straight out of a calendar photograph — the white-clapboard Congregational Church and 213-year-old Town Hall with almost matching steeples, flanked by a few tasteful homes on a snow-covered hillside.
Despite the neglect, most voters here have dutifully followed the campaign that finally ends today.
In 1996, Washington voters went for Bob Dole ahead of President Clinton. As of last fall, the town counted 316 Republicans, 100 Democrats and 241 undecided among its registered voters.
The top municipal official, First Selectman Guy Eaton, said he was a Republican and watched most of the party's televised debates. His choice: John McCain.
"I like the fact that he's a Navy man," said Eaton, 41, an Air Force veteran. "He has the leadership to run the country. We've gone through eight years with a
draft dodger in charge."
The other selectmen, logger Don Dorval and retired DuPont chemist Rufford Harrison, are registered independents and also lean toward McCain.
Dorval said he would like to see McCain get nominated and pick Steve Forbes as his running mate. But he said he doubted the Republicans would prevail.
"Gore will win," said Dorval, 48. "He's smooth and strong. He looks good."
Harrison, the third selectman, was born in Britain and serves on the governing council of the International Table Tennis Federation. He took no interest in local politics until he moved from Delaware to Washington in 1991.
He said he liked McCain despite not sharing the senator's anti-abortion stance. As for George W. Bush, "I can't avoid the thought that he's not a straight shooter."
Harrison said his skepticism covered the whole field.
"They all make these promises," he said.
"And not one of them is going to do any of these things. It's only the Congress that can do it, and most of it won't happen."

Albright says Russia unfair to Chechnya
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Clashing openly with Russia about Chechnya, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said yesterday the conflict in the rebellious republic had inflicted an incredible amount of misery on civilians by targeting them indiscriminately and forcing them from their homes.
She appealed to Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov to open a dialogue with Chechen political figures. "We believe there is no military solution to the Chechen problem," she said.
But Ivanov responded at a joint news conference that Russia had to move firmly
against terrorism, a view in which he said other governments concurred, and that no one had come up with an effective recipe to deal with the extremist threat.
He said Russia understood fully the concern its offensive had stirred abroad, but insisted that all Russia's counterparts shared the necessity to fight firmly against terrorism.
PARKER
The offensive, championed by acting President Vladimir Putin and widely approved by Russian nationalists,would not extinguish terrorism and has caused diplomatic isolation for Russia around the world, Albright said.
In a gesture of cooperation despite their differences, Albright and Ivanov took a break while tackling their heavy agenda to sign an agreement designed to tighten controls on technology used in launching U.S. satellites from Russian space stations.
Also, they are working together toward a solution to a territorial dispute between two former Soviet republics, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Albright also noted that both Russian and American troops were on peace-keeping patrol in Kosovo.
hours of talks underscored the skid in U.S.-Russian relations, marked also by disagreement concerning a potential U.S. program for space-based weapons that Russia insisted would fuel a race in offensive nuclear arms.
Albright said President Clinton was prepared to make a visit to Moscow to continue the dialogue with Putin.
In Washington, however, a senior U.S. official said Clinton had no plan to visit until after Russia's national elections in March. Boris Yeltsin had extended an open invitation to the president before resigning New Year's Eve and choosing Putin as his successor.
Their open debate after more than three
Albright's visit is designed to size up Putin, to push for an easing of restrictions on antimissile defenses and to persuade the new leader to change course in Chechnya.
While Albright and Ivanov conferred at Osobnyak, the foreign ministry's guest house, delegates from the Palestinian Authority, Israel and several Arab countries began a series of meetings aimed at promoting regional cooperation.
"Russia will keep working consistently to attain durable and fair peace in the Middle East region, which can be secured through the restoration of the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people," Putin said in a letter to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The presidential press service made the letter public.
Putin said he would accept Arafat's invitation to visit Palestinian-held territory as soon as circumstances permitted.
Clinton also endorsed Palestinian aspirations and declined to endorse congressional legislation affirming Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
A Putin mission was welcomed Monday night by a senior U.S. official, who said the Russian position was one that supported moving ahead.
The Moscow talks are being sponsored by Russia and the United States. In addition to Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, the Palestinian Authority and Israel, they are to include representatives of Canada, the European Union, Japan, China, Switzerland and Norway.
Suicide site sparks debate
The Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — A how-to guide of suicide methods on an anonymous Dutch-language Web site has sparked heated controversy in a nation that widely supports the right to die by physician-assisted suicide.
"Our society is obsessed with the problem of death," said Bart Cuvsteller of the pro-life Center for Medical Ethics.
The new Web site provoked an outcry in Parliament yesterday as members demanded for a change in the government's lax approach to regulating the Internet.
"I can imagine that someone who is seriously depressed might see this as an option," he said. "It adds to the view that suicide is normal and acceptable."
The governing Labor Party called on Prime Minister Wim Kok to take action against the site and others containing information that could pose a danger to minors.
"The fact that anyone and everyone can get access to this sort of stuff from their living rooms is the most troubling aspect of the Internet," said Willie Swildens, representative for the left-center Labor Party.
Although suicide is prohibited in the Netherlands, there is no law against providing the kind of information posted on the site, which includes macabre tips on suicide methods, and compares the success rates and pittfalls of each.
The Pink Floyd song, "Goodbye Cruel World," can be heard on the home page, along with verses from the William Butler Yeats poem, "An Irish Airman ForesSES His Death."
The site is called "Thisbe's Self-destruction Site."
A disclaimer by the author says it is not based on expert knowledge or intended to encourage anyone to kill themselves. "I refuse to accept any responsibility for the consequences of putting to use the things I have written," he says.
Although all parties in the Dutch ruling coalition were shocked by the site, they were at odds about what to do about it.
"It's extremely regrettable, but there are lots more like it." said Atzo Nicolai, Internet policy expert for the Liberal Party, which advocates self-regulation for the World Wide Web.
"Everybody must be free to communicate with each other on the Internet," said Kok, a strong proponent of free speech on the Web.
British doctor sentenced for murdering patients
The Associated Press
PRESTON, England — Jurors convicted a family doctor yesterday of murdering 15 female patients by injecting the middle-aged and elderly women with lethal doses of heroin.
Harold Shipman, 54, was sentenced to 15 life sentences — the maximum punishment in Britain, which has no death penalty.
Investigators said he might have killed dozens more patients.
"You are a wicked, wicked man," Preston Crown Court Judge Thayne Forbes told Shipman, who remained impassive.
"I have little doubt that each of your victims smiled and thanked you as she submitted to your fearful administrations." Forbes said.
The doctor, who altered medical records at his one-man practice in
northern England to cover up his crimes, also was found guilty of forging the $620,000 will of his last victim. 81-year-old Kathleen Grundy. He was sentenced to four years for that offense.
South Manchester Coroner John Pollard said police investigated up to 136 deaths of other Shipman patients, and news reports said 23 more murder charges could be filed. State prosecutor Robert Davies said he was considering other murder charges but did not say how many.
Prosecutors said Shipman killed because he enjoyed exercising the ultimate power of controlling life and death.
Investigators said his multiple murders came to an end only because Grundy's daughter, a lawyer, became suspicious about the will. It arrived the day Grundy was found dead in her house and
During his testimony, Shipman said that some of the women had hidden health problems. He also said Grundy could have been a drug addict, accounting for the high level of heroin in her blood.
Five months before his arrest, police had abandoned an investigation prompted by another doctor who became worried about how often Shipman asked his practice to provide a second signature on cremation certificates. Only one doctor's signature is required on other death certificates.
"The records looked all right, but we now know that was because Dr. Shipman had altered them with a view to covering his tracks," said Detective Superintendent. Bernard Postles said.
left her entire estate to Shipman, in supposed recognition of his work for the community.
"You are a wicked, wicked man."
Shipman went on to kill three more patients.
The doctor's wife, Primrose, who was also his receptionist, hurried from the court after the sentencing. She was accompanied by the couple's daughter and two of their three sons.
Shipman prided himself on making home visits, and his 3,000-patient practice had a waiting list.
"It is very sad ... because he was so well-liked," said Margaret Walker, who knew several of the victims. "There are still some who are very fond of him as a doctor."

Jayhawks hope to stay on rise
Big win bolsters team's spirit
By Chris Fickett
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Although the midpoint of the Kansas women's basketball team's conference season is tonight, it wants to make sure it isn't an endpoint.
The No. 25 Jayhawks are coming off their most important victory of the season, a 58-49 triumph against No. 6 Iowa State on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. The 'Hawks are 5-2 in the Big 12 Conference, tied with three teams for third place and two games behind the league's first-place team, 7-0 Oklahoma.
"It's wide open," said junior guard Jennifer Jackson about the conference race.
"All we can do is take care of our own business and hope for a little help down the line."
Tenight's business is in Boulder, Colo., where Kansas will play the Colorado Buffaloes, who are 6-12 overall and 1-7 in the Hiz 12.
In the teams' last meeting, on Jan. 15 in Lawrence, the Jayhawks pounded Colorado 78-56. The 'Hawks out-rebounded the smaller Buffs by 15, and Kansas' bench players had one of their most productive games, scoring 16 points.
Jackson isn't taking this road game lightly, though.
"it's tough to go out to Colorado; there's altitude problems," she said. "Part of the Big 12 schedule is consistency. You have to stay focused on each and every game."

After their upset win against the Cyclones, who fell to 6-1 and to second place in the Big
12, most of the Jayhawks talked about maintaining their steady rise.
"We're beginning to heal," said Kansas coach Marian Washington, who will be coaching her 800th career game tonight. "We take a lot of pride in our defense, and we're trying to become more consistent with our effort on the floor. We showed it today, and hopefully we'll show it on the road."
Kansas' defense holds its opponents to 37.5 percent shooting, which ranks second in the Big 12 and 15th in the nation. The Jayhawks held Iowa State to a season-low 30 percent shooting on Saturday.
Although Kansas shot only 32.8 percent against the Cyclones, and two of its key players, forwards Brooke Reves and Lynn Pride, were limited on offense, Washington gave credit to her reserve players, who have improved since the start of the season.
"We've got some players coming off the bench doing some good things for us," she said.
Another key in Saturday's game was the play of junior forward Jaclyn Johnson, who scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, her third double-double of the season. Johnson has been a regular contributor to Kansas' offense this season, averaging 10.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, but her team needed her production even more on Saturday as Reves went scoreless and Pride was held to nine points.

After tonight's game, Kansas returns home and will play Sunday against Oklahoma State and Feb. 10 against Texas. The Jayhawks probably would love a win against the Longhorns, who also are 5-2 in the Big 12. But Johnson has other goals in mind.
"We're just growing," Johnson said. "It's still early.
"We want to be at our prime when March Madness comes, and we're definitely on our way there."
Buffaloes step up action with fewer players

The Colorado women's basketball team has more to worry about than preseason All-American Lynn Pride and the Kansas scoring attack.
It has more to worry about than a defense that held Iowa State, which was leading the league at 80.2 points per game to nearly half that on Saturday.
The second youngest team in the nation has to worry about escaping each game without losing another player.
The Buffaloes, 6-12 overall, 1-6 in the Big 12 Conference, have only one reserve guard to back up sophomore guards Mandy Nightengale and Jenny Roulier, who each average 38 minutes per game this season.
When sophomore guard Linda Lappe and freshman guard Kate Fagan went down
with season-ending injuries, that left Colorado with only nine active players on its roster and put even more responsibility on Nightenale and Roulier.
But you won't here any complaints from Nightengale.
"I just come in as a starter and now I'm going to play a lot of minutes," Nightengale said. "It really doesn't seem like that much because we have halftime and lots of time-outs to help us out."
"I really feel that this team has improved week by week," said Colorado coach Ceal Barry. "Young teams improve more rapidly than older teams because they have so
In their first meeting with Kansas on Jan. 15, the Buffalooes lost 78-56 in Allen Fieldhouse, but since then, Colorado has won its first conference victory, a 62-47 home win against Texas A&M and has gained more confidence as a team.
much more to learn. Most of these players hadn't played in a Big 12 game until six games ago."
Colorado is the youngest team in the conference, starting only one upperclassman, junior forward Kami Carmann.
"We can't use that as an excuse right now," Roulier said. "There are other young teams in the country who are doing well. There are other teams suffering from injuries that are doing just fine."
"Suzi Raymant really stepped up for them as she has in the past," Barry said. "We have to defend against Raymant and Lynn Pride better. We turned the ball over way too much. We have to respond better to their tough defense."
Barry said that her game plan had not changed much for the Buffaloos' second matchup with No. 25 Kansas, but they needed to execute the plan better.

Rafters need more great Jayhawks
At this rate, there's never going to be another retiree served at Kansas.
From the rafters at Allen Fieldhouse, nine jerseys hang. All — except for 1988 graduate Danny Manning and women's basketball legend Lynette Woodard — belong to Jayhawks who played before 1960.
All of the retired jerseys — Paul Endacott, Charlie Black, Charlie Black, Clyde Lovellette, B.H. Born, Wilt Chamberlain, Manning, Ray Evans and Woodard — are deserving.
It's the guys whose jerseys aren't hanging from the rafters that spark discussions about the Kansas greats.
To make things easier on itself, Kansas uses guidelines to determine which athletes should be honored. In basketball, a player must be a three-time consensus All-American, consensus player of the year, or the MVP of the Final Four.
Later this season, the Athletics Department will raise a banner with all of Kansas' All-Americans, but that's not enough. The great players at Kansas should be honored — with or without qualifications.
The department's guidelines are ridiculous for three reasons:
1. Basketball has changed
It's impossible to be a three-time consensus All-American player now. There are too many excellent players, and the good ones usually take off for the NBA.
2. Roy Williams teaches his players to play a team game.
We sportswriters are fickle and rely on statistics to determine which players are the best. In Williams' offense it's difficult for one player to shine, garnering the necessary attention for All-American status, often overlooking the ones who do the little things. Even when two players do have the opportunity to shine — such as Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce in 1998 — it's only for one year at a time.
3. What's the point in having guidelines anyway?
Even with the aspirations of those guidelines, they only take away from what the players of today have accomplished. The point of retiring jerseys is to honor great players. That may be a subjective term, but it makes as much sense as the guidelines.

Kansas track in fast lane with runner
Team captain leads Jayhawks, Big 12 in 200,400 meter
By Sarah Warren
Kansan sportswriter
He knows as a team captain that he has to lead his track and field team bravely into battle. He knows he has to lead by example. He knows he has to live up to all of the expectations put upon him.
Jabari Wamble knows he has to be a leader.
And as he races around Anschutz Sports Pavilion, it is hard to believe that he could be anything but a brave warrior. He runs with his head up, body erect and knees high. He doesn't wear fancy jewelry or sport tattoos. He doesn't trash talk, and he doesn't exude a high-and-mighty, track-star attitude.
He knows he has to live up to his name. Jabari means "brave warrior" in Swahili.
"I've always been involved in athletics, playing baseball, basketball and football, but no matter what sport it was, I was always the fastest person on the team," Wamble said. "I may not have been the best on the team, but I was always the fastest."
He simply runs. And runs well.
And he still is the fastest. On Jan. 15
at the Nebraska Triangular, Wumble broke the four-year-old school record for the indoor 200-meter dash, clocking in at 21.65.
But breaking the school record wasn't as important to Wamble the spinner as it was to Wamble the team captain.
"A lot of what I try to do as a team captain is to lead by example, and I don't think you could be team captain if you don't do well in your event," Wamble, who also runs the 400-meter dash, said. "I try to do well in my event, work hard at practice and step up at meetings. Sometimes you have to run the races you don't want to run but you do it anyway, and that's what I try to do as team captain."
Wamble is one of four team captains, all of whom are juniors.
"We had a very strong freshman year; two of our captains became All Americans our freshman year — Andrea Branson and Scott Russell." Wamble said. "And Charlie Gruber, who is not a captain, became an All-American his sophomore year. And so when we became eligible to be team captains, I think it was inevitable that it would be our class."
Therefore, Wamble became a viable role model on the track after just two seasons with the Jayhawks. And Candace Mason, assistant event coach, is not surprised that Wamble would be pegged for a leadership position. Mason, who graduated from Kansas in 1999, spent two of her years
Theo Hamilton, sprints and hurdles coach agreed.
"I've always been impressed with the way he trains — he trains like it's a meet," Mason said. "Jabari's the kind of kid that every coach wants on their team."
on Kansas' track and field team impressed with the young man from Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma Christian High School track team instantly got a jolt from their freshman runner.
"I think I got third in the 100 and fourth in the 200 at state my freshman year." Wamble said.
"I told Jabari a couple of weeks ago that if he works really hard he could make it to the postseason track." Hamilton said. "I think if he works really hard he could make it to the Olympics in 2004."
The Olympics? Not bad for a kid who started track after a run-in with his mother. While on the soccer team his freshman year in high school, Wamble didn't do so well on a Shakespeare test in English class causing his mother, Wilma, to tank him off the team. When his final grades came in, however, Wamble got an A in the class and, because rejoining the soccer team was out of the question, Wamble took up track and field.
But eventually Wamble sobered up to his talent. By the time he graduated, Wamble had lettered four years in track, two years in basketball, was a member of National Honor Society
And it has been at Kansas that he has excelled.
Now he is the team's top performer in both the 200- and the 400-meter dashes, as well as the top performer in the Big 12 Conference in both events. And each time he has come around a turn in either race, his head has been up, his body erect and his knees high, daring the warrior in the next lane to challenge him.
and had track coaches from Iowa State, Indiana, Texas Christian, Oklahoma, Syracuse and Kansas knocking on his door.
"Both my parents went to Oklahoma State, and they would have wanted me to go there, but they didn't have a sprint program." Wamble said. "We went as a family to visit KU, and we really liked the academics and the athletics. KU was the right fit for me."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 1).
A secret passion could become public this year. Your vision could be hazy in February. You should have the problem solved by March and should be ready to move by April. Reality rears its ugly head in May, but the impossible comes within reach again by August. A startling revelation is to your advantage in December, and the happy ending comes around next January.
Aries: Today is a 6.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
The general is coming to inspect the troops! She's not in the mood to be hassled, contradicted or messed with in any way. Even if you're totally respectful, you could be in big trouble if there's a smirk on your face. Look sharp, and you'll pass the test.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Your career is important to you now. You're thinking of new things to do — ways to stretch your talents and your mind. You might even feel like taking a class. If you do, choose one you can use to improve your earnings. That way, it may be tax deductible.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You'd probably love to travel if you could afford to go. Well, maybe you could. If you can keep your mate from spending all your money on something else, maybe the two of you could take a vacation together. Better talk about it and set priori ties.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You may want to let a partner take the lead. An older woman would be the best one to make your next decision for you. Well, your input's important, too, of course. It's her wisdom that really gives you the advantage, however
Leo: Today is a 6.
You're a hard worker, especially now. You can't do everything all by yourself, however. If you can, you haven't taken on enough of a challenge. If you have to rely on a strong partner, you're in the right place at the right time. So, do it.
Virgo: Today is an 8.

You are one of the lucky ones. You're sure as a button, too. Oh, sure, you have a lot to do, but that's OK. You have a talent for organization, remember? Fit in a special date for tomorrow early — or late night. Or, both.
Focus on home and family this week, especially today and tomorrow. Clean up your environment. Toss the stuff that doesn't work for you any more and put in something that does. You're the one with the talent in this area, so put it to good use.

You should be able to learn pretty easily now. The best thing to do when this condition is in effect is to get yourself close to a wise older person. Watch what he or she does and do the same. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and it’s how you learn best.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
This should be a good week for wheeling and dealing. You're exceptionally sharp right now, in fact. Knowing that, what sort of challenge do you want to take on? You're creative, persistent and assertive. The sky's the limit!

You can accomplish just about anything you can imagine. Words mean things, as you undoubtedly know. Well, ideas mean things, too. When you put those ideas into words and explain them to people, miracles can happen. Go for it, again.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
You may be in the mood to go back to school. You'd also like to make more money. These two concepts are linked, but not directly. It's more like you have to work at one thing in order to pay for your training in another. Hmmm. Worth a try!

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — After becoming the most prolific female scorer in Southwest Missouri State history this weekend, Jackie Stiles pointed the finger at everyone else.

Modest junior guard breaks scoring record
"It would not have been possible if not for my teammates, my coaches, the support of this community, Melody Howard herself for improving my game, my family and friends," the 5-foot-8 junior guard from Claffin said. "Everyone should be a part of this record."
Before a standing-room only crowd of 9,131 Saturday at Hammons Student Center, Stiles broke Howard's record on a 3-pointer late in the first half of the Lady Bears' 84-48 win over Bradley.
"I had no idea how many points I had, but I guess I could tell from the reaction of the crowd that that must have been it," she said.
Stiles, who has led the nation in scoring for the past four weeks, ended the game Saturday with 30 points, giving her a total of 1,953 career points at Southwest Missouri. Howard set her record of 1,944 from 1990-94.
"She's one in a million," season ticket holder Dick Covey said following the game. "She's the most amazing athlete, male or female, to step foot on this campus."
Southwest Missouri, 16-3 overall, won its 13th straight game against Bradley and raised its league mark to 9-0.
DALLAS — Oklahoma State senior guard Jennifer Crow was named Monday as the Big 12 Conference women's basketball player of the week by a media panel.

ATLANTA — Police charged Pro Bowl linebacker Ray Lewis with murder late yesterday in the slayings of two people outside an Atlanta nightclub hours after the Super Bowl ended.
Saunders was named the Big 12's rookie of the week. She averaged 17 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 2.5 steals in the Aggies' two games last week.
Lewis, middle linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, was charged after a day of investigation into the slaying at the Cobalt lounge in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood about 4 a.m. Monday.

On Jan. 4, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Rae Carruth was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Cherica Adams, who was pregnant with their son. Carruth was released by the Panthers after the charges were lodged.
One man died at the scene and the other victim died at Grady Memorial Hospital. The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office identified the victims as Jacinta Baker, 21, and Richard Lollar, 24, both of Atlanta.
The 24-year-old Lewis, from Lakeland, Fla., became the second NFL player this month charged with murder.
Despite the report of shots, Atlanta police Lt. M.C. Smith said the preliminary investigation indicated both victims were stabbed to death.
Just last Friday, in his state of the NFL address, commissioner Paul Tagliabue commented on the recent rash of criminal charges against current NFL players.

"Can we separate ourselves from society? Of course not," Tagliabue said. "We can't predict what NFL players will do any more than we can predict students shooting other students or students shooting fellow workers."
Wizards get coach; Walker replaces Heard
BASKETBALL
WASHINGTON — Darrell Walker is the new coach of the Washington Wizards after a confusing weekend in which a deal for Michael Jordan's first choice as coach fell apart, team sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said.
Walker, an NBA veteran who played four seasons in Washington from 1987-91, is a former coach of the Toronto Captors.
Walker takes charge of a team that hasn't won consecutive games in more than a month and has not won a playoff game in 12 years.
Rodman wants to party, puts Mavericks on hold
DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks probably would have a better chance of getting an answer out of Dennis Rodman if they were inviting him to a party Tuesday night rather than asking him to play in a game
As of yesterday afternoon, the Mavericks still were waiting to hear whether Rodman was ready to return to the NBA or if he planned to continue celebrating being Dennis Rodman.
Neither Rodman's agent, Steve Chasman, nor his publicist immediately returned phone calls to The Associated Press.
The king of self-promotion put his hometown team on hold last week so he could join his friends, members of the band the Red Hot Chill Peppers, at Super Bowl parties in Atlanta.
While there, Rodman said he was considering delaying his return a few more weeks so he could go to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii this weekend and even the NBA All-Star game the following weekend.
射
"I've got to get all of my partying out of the way," Rodman said. Mark Cuban, the Mavs' soon-to-owner, laughed off the quotes and said he still hoped to have a decision by Monday. Dallas has home games against Philadelphia today and Charlotte on Thursday.
Dallas can only offer Rodman the prorated share of the $1 million salary-cap exception. He loses about $12,200 every game he misses.

Jersey retiring guidelines unrealistic
Continued from page 1A
The bottom line is some players may have been phenomenal players, but other phenomenal players may have had better years, excluding them from certain awards.
Several deserving players warrant an argument. LaFrentz, Jo White, Dave Robisch, Darnell Valentine, Pierce and Fred Pralle from the men's team, and Angela Aycock, Adrian Mitchell, Vickie Adkins and Tamecka Dixon from the women's team all should be considered — the women if nothing else because Woodard set the bar absurdly high
All are worthy, but LaFrentz and White stand out.
LaFrentz was two-time consensus All-American (the other three at Kansas were Lovellette, Chamberlain and Manning), freshman of the year, a two-time Big 12 player of the year and is second all time at Kansas in rebounding and scoring. LaFrentz is the guy that demonstrates why the department's rules should be thrown out. If a college basketball icon like LaFrentz doesn't meet some guidelines, then who does?
White graduated high school a semester early and, as a sophomore, was the driving force behind the 1966 Final Four team. He led the team in scoring for three years, and was a two-time All-American. But his greatest attribute was leadership, something that can't be measured. Ask any longtime Kansas basketball fan and they'll say White was fantastic. He belongs.
The others deserve acknowledgment too, but if the rules can be broken once, then they can be broken again.
After all, what's the point of retiring jerseys if all the great players — not just the guideline fulfillers
— aren't honored? It may be more subjective and may mean more jerseys hanging from the rafters, but it's not such a bad thing to honor those that were the best.

Cyclones ranked after beating Jayhawks
The players celebrated Saturday's 74-66 victory against Kansas by forming a circle and bouncing up
DES MOINES, Iowa — Taking Oklahoma to double overtime got Iowa State noticed. Beating Kansas finally got the Cyclones ranked.
Iowa State was 20th yesterday in The Associated Press poll, the school's first appearance in the Top 25 since it finished the 1996-97 season at No. 18.
and down. Coach Larry Eustachy greeted the ranking with a shrug.
While saying he was happy for his team and the fans, Eustachy said, "For me, it really doesn't mean anything. It's awfully premature. It's all about how you finish, and the games we have ahead of us are incredible. We'll be underdogs in a lot of them."
Still, clawing their way into the Top 25 is a noteworthy accomplishment for the undersized, short-handed Cyclones.
They were 15-15 a year ago and were picked to finish in the bottom half of the Big 12 this season. Yet here they are at 18-3 overall, unbeaten at home and tied for first place in the conference at 6-1.
Eustachy said he couldn't get caught up in his team's fast start in the league because there were too many tough road games ahead.
"It's a little misleading," Eustachy said. "We are first on paper, but actually Kansas is tied with us when you go with the plus or minus system."

Leadership a problem coach says

To say that Kansas men's tennis coach Mark Riley was upset about his team's dismal performance last weekend would be an understatement. The Jayhawks (1-3) lost all three of their matches at the Louisville Invitational.
"This is the most disappointing point in my coaching career," Riley said. "It looked to me like the team just didn't show up. It was a lack of effort by the total group."
Kansas was dominated throughout the event. With a total of 21 points available in the three matches, the No. 44 ranked Jayhawks claimed only three of them. No. 68 Middle Tennessee State defeated Kansas 4-2 in the first day of competition. On the second day, Kansas was creamed 7-0 by No. 33 Minnesota and lost 6-1 to unranked Louisville.
"As a coach, you think you are prepared, but apparently we were not ready for this weekend," Riley said. "I'll take complete blame for what happened, although people on our team have to take a personal responsibility for their preparation."
Junior Ed Dus was quite a bit more positive about the Jayhawks performance. He said the matches were a lot closer than they appeared in the box score.
"I think we had a rough time, but I don't think it went as bad as it was portrayed," Dus said. "I think we just got caught off guard. Personally, I think it's good that this happened at this point of the
season so we can realign a few things and regain our focus."
Before the meet, Riley was looking for a player to step up and fill his sixth singles spot. Now, Riley said he had considered making adjustments to a good portion of his lineup. He said he especially was troubled by his team's leadership.
"Part of our problem is that our leadership makes too many excuses," Riley said. "We're going to have to find the answers to our problems. If we don't get the ship righted now, it could be a tough season."
There were a few positive aspects for the Jayhawks at the meet. Dus and Rodrigo Echagaray, the No. 1 doubles team in Region V, won their only doubles match 8-6 against Louisville. Alex Barragan and Eleazar Magallan, the Jayhawks No. 2 doubles squad, also racked up a victory against Louisville, 8-6.
"One of the constant positives of our team is our doubles play." Sua said.
In singles, Kansas won only two matches, both coming against Middle Tennessee. Echagary, who plays in No. 2 singles competition, beat Oliver Foreman 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (6).
Riley said one of bright spots of the meet was sophomore Quentin Blakeney's performance. He struggled at times in the fall, ending that season with a 6-8 record. However, against Middle Tennessee's Michael Chamberlain, Blakeney got his second win of the season 6-3, 6-4.
"One of the disappointments of the fall was Quentin, but his play is back to a good level," Riley said. "That is very encouraging."
Kansas will have to wait until February 12 before it see action again. The team will face Indiana, who
Riley said was a very good team. That meet will be at the Alvamar Tennis and Swim Club, 4120 Clinton Parkway.
This Thursday, three of the team's players will travel to Dallas for the
Rolex National Intercollegiate Championships. Magallan and Echagaray will represent the Jayhawks in singles, while Echagaray and Dus will team up for doubles.
"The Rolex Indoors might be the best amateur tennis tournament in the world," Riley said. "We expect to go there and do well. Unfortunately, the rest of the team will have to wait awhile to play again."
Atlanta's Rocker fined, suspended for 28 days
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — John Rocker was suspended until May 1 by commissioner Bud Selig yesterday for racial and ethnic remarks that he said.
The Atlanta Braves' reliever also was fired and ordered to undergo sensitivity training for disparaging foreigners, homosexuals and minorities in a magazine interview. The amount of the fine was not immediately known.
"Major league baseball takes seriously its role as an American institution and the important social responsibility that goes with it." Selig said.
"We will not dodge our responsibility. Mr. Rocker should understand that his remarks offended practically every element of society and brought dishonor to himself, the Atlanta Braves and major
.
league baseball. The terrible example set by Mr. Rocker is not what our great game is about and, in fact, is a profound breach of the social compact we hold in such high regard."
The players' association was expected to file a grievance because of the penalty, believed to be the longest against a baseball player for an action not related to drug use since Lenny Randle of Texas got 30 days in March 1977 for punching his manager. Frank Lucchesi.
A grievance would force the matter before Shaym Das, the sport's new independent arbitrator.
The suspension, which is to last
for 28 days, will not affect his salary,
expected to be between $200,000 and
$300,000.
"I do not believe it is appropriate that I should be harshly disciplined for my misguided speech unaccompanied by any conduct on my part," Rocker said in a statement released by his agents, Randy and Alan Hendricks. "I have previously apologized for my unfortunate remarks and stand by my apology. At this time I am considering my options, including my right to appeal the commissioner's decision."
The 25-year-old pitcher was barred from joining the Braves at spring training. A high-ranking baseball official, speaking on the condition he not be identified, said the commissioner's office did not want Rocker to report with other Braves' pitchers and catchers, thus minimizing the number of media descending on Kissimmee, Fla.,
when camp opened Feb.17.
Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president for labor relations, disputed that, and said it was not a factor.
The pitcher was ordered by Selig on Jan. 6 to undergo psychological tests, but the results of those tests have not been disclosed.
Rocker said in a Sports Illustrated story published last month that he would never play for a New York team because he didn't want to ride a subway train "next to some queer with AIDS." He also said, "I'm not a very big fan of foreigners. . . How the ball did they set in this country?"
He also called a black teammate a "fat monkey."
Rocker told ESPN last month that he had lost his cool and said things he didn't mean about New York fans because he wanted to inflict some emotional pain in retaliation to the pain that had been inflicted on him.

Super Bowl XXXIV
Vermeil emotional after Rams' win
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Yes, Dick Vermeil cried.
A day after his team's Super Bowl victory, he spoke of his late mother Alice and how she was sure he would one day come back and coach an NFL champion team
Other Super Bowl coaches han dled these day-after news confer ences their own way:
Mike Ditkas complained about voters choosing the wrong MVP; Bill Walsh lobbed for George Seifert to succeed him as 49ers' coach; Bill Parcells suggested that for him to lose a few pounds was like throwing a deck chair off the Titanic.
Not Vermeil.
The 63-year-old coach was not about to be flippant at a time like this. This was supposed to be a man too old for the job.
This old-school coach sheds tears when he cuts players, when he discusses their injuries — even when something good happens to them.
Yesterday was no exception
He spoke not only about his mother, but also about a quarterback falling through cracks and a gamesaving tackle that gave the St. Louis Rams — 4-12 a year ago — a 23-16 Super Bowl victory against the Tennessee Titans.
He acknowledged that Kurt Warner, the first player since Steve Young five years ago to be both regular-season and Super Bowl MVP, was the kind of quarterback who didn't get a fair shake in the NFL.
Indeed, Warner needed luck to make it, coming out of Iowa via the Arena League and NFL Europe. But it wasn't luck that resulted in 414 yards passing, including a 73-yard strike to Isaac Bruce with 1:54 left that turned out to be the winner.
Warner inherited the job when Trent Green, their off season freeagent acquisition, went down with a season-ending knee injury in the third game.
down passes, joining Dan Marino as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for more than 40 in a season. Warner was the overwhelming choice for league MVP.
He proceeded to throw 41 touch
"From a quarterback standpoint, it's easier to fall through the cracks," Vermeil said. "Teams tend to line up their."
SUPER BOWL

rarely gets the opening. He's just there to throw balls in practice."
He did a lot more than that Sunday in one of those Super Bowls that will be remembered for decades.
Tennessee trailed 16-0 with 20 minutes to go but rallied and tied the game with 2 minutes, 12 seconds left. Eighteen seconds later, Warner and Bruce connected.
Then the Titans drove back. But the game ended with the Rams' Mike Jones clinging to Kevin Dyson's legs at the 1-yard line as time expired.
"I've given it thought," Vermeil said yesterday. "If I say I'm definitely coming back and change my mind, you'll say You lying son of a gun." I'm not going to be trapped."
So no wonder Warner and Vermeil, both exhausted, seemed more relieved than exhilarated.
Vermiln now faces the inevitable questions about whether he might quit and hand the team to offensive coordinator Mike Martz. He has two more years left on his contract
Vermell's wife has said she would like him to retire. But Vermell is not the sort to easily abandon the sidelines.
So he and Warner might be able to do an encore. And given the state of the NFC, the Rams could well be back in the Super Bowl next year in Tampa, Fla.
Tennessee confident about next season
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The Tennessee Titans, no longer the NFL's nomads, introduced themselves to the country in the franchise's first Super Bowl.
And coach Jeff Fisher said yesterday this team didn't plan on going away anytime soon.
"This is a team that came from nowhere and did things no one expected us to do this year," he said. "Now we'll be respected and perceived around the league as a team to be contended with the next few years."
The Titans had a chance to force overtime as time expired Sunday night. But Kevin Dyson's right arm couldn't stretch the last yard into the end zone after he caught a pass, and the St. Louis Rams held on for
"We ran out of time," Fisher said. Running back Edie George and
Running back be safety Blaine Bishop, carted off the field with a strained neck and pinched nerve, said the loss would provide incentive
T
"We can fold our tents or go into camp and not say anything and just go with the flow and work harder than we have before." George said.
The Titans have every reason to think they can return to the Super Bowl next season.
They are a young team led by quarterback Steve McNair, McNair put the Titans in position to tie.
score after he drove the length of the field in the final two minutes
George rushed for 1,304 yards this season and was a threat catching the ball out of the backfield. Jevon Kearse led the AFC with 14 1/2 sacks.
But Fisher said the Titans had work to do. A young secondary, which gave up the winning 73-yard TD pass to Isaac Bruce with two minutes left, must improve. The receivers, who caught only eight of McNair's 22 passes, struggled with Yancey Thigpen out with a broken foot.
Fisher hopes to keep his coaching staff. He also wants more depth and must resign right tackle Jon Runyan, who will become a free agent next week. Linebacker Joe Bowden is another top priority along with tight end Jackie Harris
and backup quarterback Nell O'Donnell, if he agrees to stay.
The top priority for owner Bud Adams and president Jeff Diamond will be signing Fisher to a contract extension. His contract has one year left.
Fisher said everything in the Super Bowl went just as they expected. The Titans held the Rams to field attempts on their first five trips inside the 20 and limited Marshall Faulk to 10 carries for 17 vards.
But Tennessee didn't get the two things that had gotten them to the Super Bowl: sacks and turnovers.
The Titans set a club record with 54 sacks during the regular season and were second in the NFL in turnover margin. That had helped them win eight games, including two in the playoffs, in which they were outgained on offense.

For some, balding occurs at a young age. Medications, hair attachments and wigs are options for those with receding hairlines. Photo illustration by Melissa Thornton/KANSAN
Balding men fight to save their hair
By Warisa Chulindra
Kansan staff writer
Corey Peck, Olathe senior, doesn't wear hats. He doesn't blow dry or towel dry his hair. He washes his hair with a deep shampoo and conditioner. He uses a pro-vitamin protein spray, takes plenty of herbs and vitamins and massages his scalp.
Peck is balding — and that scares him.
"I'm always worrying about my hair," he said. "I want to save the little bit that I have left. The thought of being 30 and not having hair frightens me."
Peck is not alone in his worries. Male pattern baldness and thinning hair concerns many men, even in college.
There are many options for men who
Some men choose to shave their hair, hoping it will grow back thicker or at least slow down hair loss.
But shaving one's hair to slow down the process is based on folklore and myth, said Lee Bittenbender, a dermatologist at the Dermatology Center of Lawrence, 930 Iowa St.
"There's an incredible amount of inaccurate of information out there," he said. "It's genetics and hormones. It's not something they're doing like taking vitamins, diet or lifestyle. I think it's really important that people understand this."
Bittenbender said shaving hair only
OPTIONS FOR THE BALD
- Rogaine topical gel: $30 per month
- Properia prescription pill: $47 per month
Hair piece: $500 to $600
Hair piece: $300 to $600
Hair transplant: $3,500 to $6,000
tears away dead protein and would not affect hair follicles or hair growth.
For men in the beginning stages of baldness, Rogaine, Minoxidil and Propecia may help slow loss or maintain hair.
Minoxidil, originally used to treat high blood pressure, is applied to the scalp twice a day to stop the loss, Bittenbender said.
Propecia, a pill taken daily, can also be used to treat enlarged prostatis if taken in higher dosages. A small percentage of users report side effects — including decreased sex drive, decreased ejaculation and impotency.
Bittenbender also warned that men should not have unrealistic expectations when it comes to hair regrowth.
"It's important that people don't expect to take a pill or apply something and expect to regrow a thick set of hair in six months," he said.
Sid Johnson, manager at the Hair Loss Clinic, 17601 E. U.S. Highway 40, said people tend to be secretive when exploring options to restore hair.
Johnson said people often weren't aware of their options. The first — and most common — treatment is to use the remaining hair.
"Shopping for hair isn't like buying a new suit or a car," Johnson said. "People just pick a name out of a phone book. That's why you see a lot of bad hair transplants and wigs."
Hair additions such as wigs and attachments are another option — but the weight and heat caused by some wigs can cause additional hair loss, he said.
For more severe hair loss cases, some men may choose hair transplant.
For a hair transplantation, men must have enough hair from the back of their necks to fill the balding area — hair from other parts of the body or from other people cannot be used, Johnson said.
But some balding men choose not to fight it.
Knowing his family history has prepared Eric Rush, Topeka junior, for
his receding hairline. His father,
uncles and grandfathers are all bald.
"I knew it was going to happen so it wasn't a big deal," Rush said.
But Peck did not expect his hair to thin. He said that both his grandfathers still had their hair and that his dad didn't begin to lose his hair until his late 40s. He discovered he was balding two years ago.
"I used to have the thickest, wavy brown hair," he said. "I would wish I had thinner hair. I guess my好 wish. Now it's thin, frizzy and depressing.
Peck said he didn't know how long it would be until he was bald but that he would deal with it as it came.
"There's not much you can do," he said. "If your hair's going to leave you, it's going to leave you."

Granada serves moe. tasty treats
By BriAne Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
John Granat, Overland Park Junior, trekked to the Granada last night to jam to a band called moe.
"We're going to get down. We're going to get funky." Granat said. "We might as well do it while we're young and we have time."
And Granat did, joined on the dance floor by hundreds of other "moe.rons."
The band opened up to a crowd of about 450, said an employee at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The band combined a mix of rock, funk and folk to keep the crowd on its feet and the dancers constantly shifting tempo.
Last night's concert marked the third or fourth time moe. has played in Lawrence, but Granat said he wanted them to come more often. They spend most of their time in home-state New York and on the West Coast.
The four-man band is composed of Al Schnier, guitar and vocals; Rob Derhak, bass and vocals; Chuck Garvey, guitar and vocals; and Vinnie Amie drums.
Garvey said the band pulled from a variety of musical sounds since it
started writing its own music. He said that "everything goes" was an attitude that followed them throughout the band's career.
"I think that it would be tremendously frustrating and limiting to only allow yourself access to a few tasty dishes to eat during your lifetime, so why get yourself in the same rut with music?" Garvev said.
In moe's eight-year history, its musical style has roamed across the musical gamut. Garvey said that was part of what kept their sound fresh.
"We have recently been going through a mild revisiting of the pop single form," Garvey said. "That's not to say that we are going to be the next darling of radio and 'empty-v.' It also doesn't mean that all of our songs are going to be cloying, sickly-sweet pieces of pop garbage. You just have to allow different influences to worm their way into your work. Next, futuristic elevator music — 'hawk!'
Garvey said all aspects of society and music influenced him, including Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa and Burt Bacharach.
Last night, one loyal fan, Chris McTighe, a junior at Rockhurst University, traveled from Kansas City to Lawrence even though he had class today.
Watergate reporter to visit University, take home award
By Ryan Devlin
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Bob Woodward, whose coverage of the Watergate scandal won the Pulitzer Prize for The Washington Post in 1973, will be on campus tomorrow to accept the William Allen White Foundation's national citation for 2000.
Though he is unlikely to reveal the identity of "Deep Throat," Woodward will visit with students and faculty at the School of Journalism and accept the award at 1:30 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Woodward has worked for The Washington Post since 1971 and currently serves as assistant managing editor. He is the recipient of many journalism prizes and the only American to write or co-write eight best-selling non-fiction books.
Three of Woodward's books have been made into movies—the most famous of which, All the President's Men, chronicles Woodward and fellow reporter Carl Bernstein's reporting on Watergate. Woodward and Bernstein's reporting was instrumental in uncovering the scandal which led to President Richard Nixon's resignation. Woodward is famous for his relationship with Deep Throat, a top-level Washington insider who arranged secret meetings with Woodward and revealed confidential information about the Watergate scandal. To this day, Woodward has kept the identity of Deen Throat a secret.
Ted Frederickson, chairman of the news sequence in the School of Journalism, said Woodward and Bernstein were two of the most important journalists in American history.
"Their reporting drove a president from office." Frederickson said. "I don't think anything they did was much different from what other investigative reporters have done, but the story they told was so important that it changed the relationship between the press and the political system and made our profession very popular with students."
Woodward: To speak at 1:30 p.m.
Friday
Woodward, 56, was born on March 26, 1943, in Geneva, Ill. He grew up the son of a judge in Wheaton, Ill. After graduating from Yale in 1965, Woodward served as a communications officer in the U.S. Navy for five years. He began his reporting career at the Montgomery County Sentinel in Maryland.
Rick Mussel, professor of journalism, expressed his enthusiasm for Woodward's arrival.
"I've seen a lot of distinguished people come through here and receive the William Allen White award, but I've got to admit that Bob Woodward is right up there among my all-time favorites." Musser said.
Woodward was selected for this year's citation by The WWF. The WIttie
Foundation, which sponsors lectures, institutes and awards intended to promote the understanding of journalism in Kansas. The foundation's namesake was a Pulitzer Prize-winning owner and editor of the Emporia Gazette during the 1890s and 1900s who made several contributions to American journalism. White died in 1944, and the foundation was

Woodward is the 50th recipient of the award.
Senate in favor of keeping 8 Jaybowl lanes, denies OAKS computer
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate unanimously passed a resolution to save part of the Jaybowl in lieu of potential renovations at its meeting last night and came two votes shy of overturning a presidential veto, an action that would have given OAKS a new computer.
"It's a message to the Memorial Corporation from KU Student Senate, a message from the bowling team, from the 55 people at last night's meeting and from the 4,500 people who signed petitionts that we want a compromise," said Marlon Marshall, St. Louis sophomore and Student Executive Committee chairman.
The resolution asks that Memorial Corporation keep at least eight bowling lanes if changes on the first floor of the Kansas Union are made.
Tom Partridge, Lawrence senior and member of the men's bowling team, also spoke before the vote. He said that it would be possible to have a competitive bowling team with only eight lanes and that other highly competitive schools were able to sustain bowling teams on fewer than 12 lanes.
In a speech before the vote, David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge unions, said he did not think a compromise would
be feasible.
"I think the problem with that plan is that it truncates everyone's interests," Mucci said. "You don't give either concept what it needs."
In other Senate business, a presidential veto of a bill that would have provided OAKS, the nontraditional students organization, with a new computer was challenged. But after a 37-21 vote, the veto stands. A two-thirds majority would have given the group its computer.
"The reason this is so disappointing is because of the way it makes us feel invisible," said Karen Boyd, OAKS co-director. "Our issues are not real and present to them. They don't see that our needs are unique."
The group's members wanted a new computer because the one organization has cannot be used to create newsletters or listservs. Glenda Immer, OAKS co-director, said this meant it almost would become a requirement for OAKS officers to have a home computer.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, veted the bill last December and said it was not fair to award computers to individual groups.
She said many nontraditional students did not live in Lawrence.
"It's not fair that the nontrads have an excellent senator and that they can work the system." Maxwell said.
Maxwell's solution, to finance two new computers for the Organizations and Leadership Development Center, passed with an amendment that added another computer to the bill.
Still, the group is determined to have its own computer.

"But it may take us a while to marshal our energy," Immer said.

Shell casing found at Burge Union sent to KBI
A gun shell casing found Friday at the Burge Union has been sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation for examination.
"A shell casing was found, and it has been submitted to the lab for investigation," said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
Bailey said it was unknown at this point whether the shell is related to the shooting that occurred earlier this month at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union.
Shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Jan. 23, Gregory J. Davis, Denver senior, was injured when he received a small-caliber gunshot wound to the hip. Gregory was at a dance party spon- nished by Aisha Alhna fraternity.
Gregory was at a dance party sponsored by the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity at the union.
All other information regarding the bullet casing is being withheld until further investigation, Bailey said.

appearance in as many weeks in Douglas County District Court.
Dion Rayon, Los Gatos, Calif., senior, is set to appear at 1:30 p.m. today in Division 5 court before Judge Paula Martin. Martin is expected to set a trial date for Rayon, who is charged with disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and possession of an open container.
Rayford's first appeared before Judge Martin on Jan. 20. Martin granted a continuance at that time because Rayford showed up without counsel. The judge informed Rayford that he was eligible for counsel and appointed attorney Jason Gilroy to the case.
Lawrence police said Rayford attempted to crawl through the drive-thru window after Taco Bell employees had left a chalupa out of his order. When police arrived at the scene, they found the 6-foot-3, 260-pound former defensive end stuck in the 14-by 46-inch opening.
He is banned from returning to Taco Bell or contacting any witnesses to the incident.

Search efforts ended in Alaskan jet wreck
PORT HUENEME, Calif. — Authorities today abandoned the search for survivors of a downed Alaska Airlines jetliner as investigators sought clues from taped talks between a Seattle maintenance crew and pilots struggling to keep control of the plane.
They had a fix on the data recorder using pinging signals emitted by its locator beacon, he said.
The recorder — actually painted bright orange despite its popular name — was brought to the surface clutched in the mechanical claw of the boxy yellow submersible.
Dozens of boats will remain on the water to search for further wreckage that may shed light on the cause of Monday's crash. The plane was en route to San Francisco when it went down with 88 people on board.
The ships combed a debris field 10 miles offshore overnight, finding only tiny, twisted pieces of wreckage from the plane, which nose-dived into the ocean Monday afternoon.
NTSB member John Hammerschmidt also confirmed yesterday that the agency was looking into reports that the MD-83 jetliner had mechanical problems on its way down to Mexico, the first leg of the flight.
The Seattle Times reported yesterday that the crew had reported problems with the plane's horizontal stabilizer on the earlier flight.
Seton Hall dorm fire may have been arson
NEWARK, N.J. — Investigators of the deadly fire at a Seton Hall University residence hall believe the blaze was set, The Star-Ledger of Newark reported yesterday.
Authors have identified at least four suspects in the Jan. 19 fire that killed three freshmen, the newspaper reported. No charges have been filed.
The newspaper said investigators think the incident may have resulted from a feud between a group of students and non-students who were visiting the building on the night of the blaze. But they have not concluded whether the fire was started as a prank or an attempt to harm someone.
A student resident adviser had asked three of the non-student suspects to leave Boland Hall less than an hour before the fire broke out. Investigators said they think one of the three remained in the building.
Web site to give away daily scholarships
arship money. No essay required. No nerve-wracking interview. Just the luck of the draw.
BOSTON — An Internet site to be launched today is promising to give away $10,000 a day in college schol-
FreeScholarships.com knows the sweepstakes may sound too good to be true — but anyone can win, and more than once.
The incentives for coughing up demographic information are great. FreeScholarships plans to award $25,000 every month and $50,000 each quarter, in addition to the daily giveaway of $10,000. Winners need only be U.S. citizens older than 13.

Experts warn of threat to Internet users' security
WASHINGTON — The nation's top computer experts wamed Internet users Wednesday about a serious new security threat that allows hackers to launch malicious programs on a victim's computer or capture information a person volunteers on a Web site, such as credit card numbers.
The treat, dubbed "cross-site scripting," involves dangerous computer code that can be hidden within innocuous-looking links to popular internet sites. The links can be e-mailed to victims or published on online discussion groups and Web pages.
The vulnerability was especially unusual because it is not limited to software from any particular company. Any Web browser on any computer visiting a complex Web site is at risk.
No one apparently has been victimized yet. But the risks were described as potentially so serious and affected such a breadth of even the largest, most successful Web sites that the industry's leading security group said nothing consumers can do will completely protect them.
Only a massive effort by Web site designers can eliminate the threat, according to the CERT Coordination center of Campegie Mellon University.
Groundhog gaze means six more winter weeks
PUNKSUTAWNEY, Pa. — Part-time weatherman and full-time groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday morning and predicted six more weeks of winter.
Organizers estimated only 8,000 or 9,000 visitors attended, instead of the 15,000 who usually turn out.
"My toes are frostbrittle, but it warms up if you start dancing," said Dan Pellam of Emporium, who was making his first visit to Phil's Jair.
In this central Pennsylvania town of 6,700 people, Phil sees his shadow most years. Only 14 times has he predicted an early spring.

Violence erupts among students in Mexico City
The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — Students opposed to a 9-month strike at Latin America's largest university threw rocks and bottles at classmates occupying the campus of a university affiliated high school.
Thirty seven people were injured, four seriously.
Brandishing poles and pipes, the two groups battled most of Tuesday at the Justo Sierra High School, which is part of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
"This has been a day of profound sadness for the university," said Rector Juan Ramon de la Fuente. "Violence is the antithesis of the university."
Interior Secretary Diodoro Carrasco said yesterday that a report of one death was untrue. Ambulance driver Antonio Ramirez said Tuesday night that a man had been killed from stab wounds to the chest. It was not possible to reach Ramirez immediately yesterday.
Poise arrested 251 people on the campus of the high school, three of them for possessing explosive materials. The rest were booked for disorderly and riotous conduct.
The strike began in April, protesting plans to raise annual tuition at the main campus from a few cents to $140. Administrators withdrew the fee increase, but students later demanded sweeping policy changes.
The skirmish at the high school began early Tuesday when 200 students opposed to the strike forced their way onto the campus of the high school. Throwing rocks and waving sticks, they forced the strikers to abandon the high school, which they have held and barricaded since April 20.
Soon after, 150 adults — who de la Fuente said were members of the university's security force — arrived in two buses in an apparent effort to help the anti-strikers defend the campus.
By late afternoon, more strikers arrived and soon retook the campus.
They then began beating people, hitting men with poles and rocks, and kicking their heads.
The strikers also confiscated rolls of film and video cassettes from journalists reporting on the violence.
Four hundred federal police — including soldiers under civilian command — took control of the school late Tuesday. They rounded up the strikers without resistance and took 148 of them to jail in buses.
Outside the school, hundreds of strike supporters chanted against police intervention.
Carrasco said the university had requested the police intervention, despite statutes that bar police from entering university grounds to preserve academic freedom.
Strikers remain in control of the university's main campus several miles away, and refused to reopen it until officials meet their demands for guaranteed admissions and a loosening of academic standards.

Student wades in Dawson's Creek
By Sara Shepherd
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
It was only for a moment. It was dark, it was from 20 feet away and it was his backside.
But Gareth Lewis, Pontypridd, Wales, junior, appeared on last night's episode of *Drawan's Creek*
Several friends, including Edd McCracken, Ballywalt, Northern Ireland, junior, gathered at Lewis's Jayhawker Towers apartment to watch the 7 p.m. airing of the prime-time high-school drama.
The first time through, Lewis missed his scene where he and another extra walked behind Dawson and a girl at a party.
"I missed it!" Lewis said. "I was talking and I missed it."
"Were you cut?" McCracken asked from a couch across the room.
"I might have been cut," Lewis conceded. But after replaying the scene a few times in slow motion, Lewis was able to pick himself out in the dimly-lit background.
"I just remember what I was wearing and where I was walking," Lewis said. "We just had to pretend we were at the party and not look at the camera."
Lewis had an easy job — he played the part of a student at a keg party, but producers served ginger ale, not Natural Light, he said.
Lewis went to the filming for fun — and besides, accepting payment would violate his Visa. He was visiting a friend in North Carolina who had a roommate that signed up to be an extra on the show during filming in early January.
"He just said, 'Do you want to come with me?' Lewis said. "So we went. It was a laugh. It's something to say I did while I was here."
Unlike Lewis, most of the other extras were aspiring actors trying to build a resume and earn a little extra cash. Lewis said people kept coming up to him and asking to practice their fake British accents on him.
"It did get a little repetitive after a while." Lewis said.
"Yes." he said. "Badl
When asked if the contrived accents were shoddy, Lewis answered quickly.
Lewis said one girl actually had a decent accent, but she had lived in Britain for four years.
"The rest of them were horrible," he said. Both Lewis and McCracken said Dawson's Creek aired in their home countries.
Lewis said it wasn't quite as mainstream there.
"Student girls and teenyboppers watch it," Lewis said.
"It's well-known," he said. "It's definitely well-known."
McCracken said the British teenage sitcoms weren't nearly as interesting as the ones in the United States.
"America does teen angst really well," McCracken said.
Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Alpha Theta retain top honors
Greek grades sparked by competition
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Beta Theta Pi fraternity and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority continued their academic dominance this fall by earning the highest grade point averages among Greek chapters.
Beta Theta Pi's long-standing tradition of academic excellence has kept it atop the charts in all but four semesters since 1932. Last semester it turned in a GPA of 3.289 and continued its reign, said Trey Yost, president of Beta Theta Pi and Perry, Okla., senior.
"We put academics first and foremost." he said. "We're pretty happy about that." Chace Ramey, president of the Interfraternity Council and Kansas City, Mo., junior, said the hard work put in by the members of Beta Theta Pi made the chapter stand above the others.
Phi Delta Theta and Phi Kappa Psi fraternities tied for second with a 3.054 and Sigma Nu placed third at 2.957, Ramey said.
"The they do strive for excellence." Ramey said of the Beta Theta Pi members. "I congratulate them on their hard work."
There were no surprises in the top three slots on the women's chart. Kappa Alpha Theta remained on top with a 3.274. Chi Omega and Alpha Delta Pi sororities also retained their respective spots from last spring. Chi Omega clinched second with a 3.236 and Alpha Delta Pi held third with a 3.175.
"It's good to see that academics are so important," said Juliette Ast, president of Panhellenic association and Wichita junior. "We strive for an average of a 3.0 or a 3.1 and we had a lot of sororities above that."
The surprise for the women came in the new-member classes. Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority's new-member class ranking jumped from a 12th place 2,664 in the fall of 1998 to a first place 3,159 this fall. Ast said.
Because the averages among the sororities are so tight, Ast said this jump in GPA by the new members helped push, Kappa Kappa Gamma from 10th place with a house GPA total of 2.98 to a fourth place total of 3.17 this fall.
Bill Nelson, director of greek programs, said that the all-greek freshman class, with a GPA of 2.809, did well as a whole this semester and finished higher than the University of Kansas freshman average of 2.63.
Kappa Sigma fraternity ended second to last with a house GPA of 2.587 and Zack Fee, president of Kappa Sigma and Leawood junior, said the members would be working more on time management and study skills this semester.
"When I came here we were fourth on the hill," Fee said. "That's what we are trying to get back to."
Nelson said that on Feb. 13, during a greek recognition program, the top three fraternities and sororities would be given academic awards for their achievements during the 1999 calendar year.
Nelson said there was no set mark for chapters to reach. Instead, each chapter house is responsible for setting its own GPA goals. These goals vary among the fraternities and sororities.

Waiting list only option for tickets to Camelot
Musical grounded in King Arthur tale
By BriAne Hess
writer@kansan.com
Konson staff writer
Admission to Camelot at 8 tonight at the Lied Center won't require noble acts of chivalry or Merlyn-esque wizardry. Because the show is sold out, however, it will require a ticket — or a little patience.
Those without tickets can go to the Lied Center an hour before show time to be placed on a waiting list for the musical, said Karen Christilles, director of public relations for the Lied Center. A few minutes before curtain, house managers count empty seats and sell them to those on the list.
"It's a classic show that people know and love dearly. Those who don't know it have heard the name and want to know what it's about."
"It's a classic show that people know and love dearly," Christilles said. "Those who don't know it have heard the name and want to know what it's about."
"It's a timeless production and well-loved internationally." Davis said. "There are a potpourri of reasons to see Camelot."
Karen Christilles Lied Center director of public relations
Jacqueline Davis, director of the Lied Center, said most people read medieval literature and the legends of King Arthur, so the musical was still popular.
Camelot is based on T.H. White's 1958 novel, The Once and Future King. The story begins with the first meeting of Arthur and Guinevere and ends with Arthur's demise at the hands of his illegitimate son, Mordred.
Tickets are $16 and $19 for University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University students. For non-students, tickets are $32 and $38, and for senior citizens, $31 and $37. The Lied Center's Broadway & Beyond Series and Maupintour are sponsoring the musical.
Guinevere and Lancelot perform "Before I Gaze at You Again." Curtains rise on the sold-out Camelot at 8 tonight at the Lied Center. Those still wanting tickets can come early and be put on a waiting list to replace no shows. Contributed art.

Legislature should pass proposal hang up on telemarketing firms
The Kansas Legislature soon will consider legislation that would regulate and limit the activities of telemarketers. The state should pass this proposal.
Residence and scholarship halls often bear the brunt of telemarketing calls in Lawrence, with some students receiving several calls each day. There no doubt that off-campus faculty, staff and students also receive sales calls on a regular basis. Regulation would help.
Much-needed state legislation would regulate sales calls
The proposed regulations would require telemarketers to identify themselves more clearly immediately after the phone is answered, without an extensive pause. This silence occasionally occurs because some telemarketing companies with only a few employees use a system that places numerous calls at once, betting that not everyone will pick up the phone. If more phones are answered than there are employees, some people hear nothing for several seconds. The proposal would prohibit this pause.
In addition, the legislation would require telemarketers to identify themselves on consumers' caller IDs.
Telemarketers aren't malevolent in nature, but the profession seems to be a necessary evil of our economy — a tool utilized for commerce by many local and international companies. So how can our reactions to these sales calls be so heated? Telemarketing calls often are viewed as an invasion of privacy. Some of the calls seem very cold and impersonal. The telephone often is considered to be a way for us to "reach out and touch someone," not necessarily the other way around, especially when those reaching out to us are trying to
sell us something, or are subjecting us to what seems to be pointless questioning.
No one likes being hustled, and credit card sales professionals seem to be the apex of hustle salesmanship. Telemarketers hardly stop to breathe, are able to rattle on ad nauseum with delusions of grandeur about special offers, and they may even have your social security number before you've managed to utter a simple, "No thanks."
These calls largely are an annoyance for Lawrence residents. There is no way to get rid of telemarketing, and we are left with the choices of staying on the line or simply hanging up. However, the proposed regulations would make receiving these calls a less hassling experience. This legislation is necessary and welcomed. The customer is always right, and the customers have spoken loud and fiber-optically clear.

STDs, nicotine side effects other cons of contraceptive
In response to your article, "Contraceptive Cons" by Katie Hollar on Jan. 31, I think that there should be a couple of additions to the story. Although the article is very much in tune with the subject of contraception for the college woman, I think that the subject of STDs should have played a role in the article as well. Hormonal contraception does not stop the spread of any STD.
Another issue concerning oral contraceptives was also left out of the article. This is the fact that women who smoke cigarettes are at an increased risk of side effects, including blood clots, stroke and heart attacks. This is more likely with women who are heavy smokers (more than 15 cigarettes per day), and this risk increases with age.
Of course, most doctors and pharmacists would counsel women receiving a prescription for oral contraceptives. Every oral contraceptive case has the warning about HIV and other STDs listed on the package, or in the patient package insert. But with such a large article on the side effects of hormonal contraception, there was no mention of STDs or cigarette smoking at all.

The pill can be abortive
The recent "Contraceptive Cons" story about the "pill" was informative, but unfortunately, it left out an important piece of information. What makes this even more fortunate is that doctors often don't mention this information to their patients, either.
However, there is one more way that the pill prevents pregnancy. According to the 1995 Physician's Desk Reference, the pill also causes "changes in the endometrium which reduce the likelihood of implantation." In other words, the pill can often act as an abortifacient, keeping a fertilized egg from attaching to the walls of the uterus.
The Kansan reported that the pill prevents "pregnancy by stopping the ovaries from releasing eggs and by keeping the cervical mucus thick so sperm can't easily pass through it." This is indeed correct.
In this same manner, "morning-after pillis" and other "emergency contraception" (a misnomer, in that conception has already taken place at that point) aborts an already fertilized egg by keeping it from implanting.
Doctors and drug companies should make this information more clear, so that women can decide for themselves whether or not the pill is for them.

Jaybowl full of memories for University alumni
The idea to replace the Jaybowl with a "cyber cafe," under the guise that the cafe will attract more students, thus creating more revenue, is absurd. People involved with the Jaybowl know that renovating it into a spacious, modern facility with an array of recreation, entertainment and concession services, would attract students in droves, as it does at other universities. A cyber cafe could be included in either a Jaybowl renovation, or built into another rarely used area of the Union, but there is no justifiable reason to remove the lanes.
As undergraduates at the University of Kansas, the Jaybowl was where we first met. For four years it was where we worked, socialized, pursued bowling on a competitive level and attended bowling classes. Over the last half century, thousands of students and alumni could share similar stories about how the Jaybowl became an important part of their college lives.
The ultimate decision lies with the Student Senate and the Memorial Board to determine if the Jaybowl is worth saving. If removing the lanes for a c雅 café is their vote, it will be clear that money speaks louder than student interest.

Perspective
Germany-France alliance leaves rulers powerless
The American media has given extensive coverage of the scandal involving the illegal donations received by the former German chancellor Helmut Kohl. The donations came through the organization he led for more than 25 years, the Christian Democratic Party.
The donations supposedly started in 1992, and Kohl continued to receive them until he was voted out of office in 1998. However, most news sources fail to show specifically why and when such donations happened.
Kohl, who led Germany for more than a decade, only declared that he had managed illegal funds exceeding $1 million during his term in office. The recent audits made by the
Mitterrand wanted to extend France's influence to Germany and, above all, to be sure that by reelecting Kohl he would be assuring that the Euro would be accepted by Germans as the new European currency.
"I would be extremely obliged if you would use your personal influence so that Erik carries out this project, without hesitation, as envisaged by the contract." Kohl wrote.
Central Democratic Party indicated that the illegal donations surpassed $7 million and lasted for nine years, from 1989 to 1998. Even admitting that he managed such illegal funds, Kohl refuses to identify the individuals or companies who donated the money to his party. He apparently gave his word to them that he wouldn't reveal their identities. And by honoring his word, he dishonored all citizens of Germany.
Last month, the French weekly Paris Match published part of a letter in which Kohl asked Mitterrand to intervene and ensure that EIF would buy the German refinery.
The case would be simple if it involved only Germany, its lobbyists and corrupt politicians. The problem is that the illegal donations came from France — Germany's neighbor and former enemy — when the French president was the socialist Francois Mitterrand, who ruled France for 14 years. Mitterrand and Kohl led their countries for 13 years and were close friends.
According to The Washington Post, a third of this money ended up with the campaign treasury of Kohl's Christian Democratic Party. Kohl feared the communists in eastern Germany and desperately tried to seek funds to guarantee his reelection in 1994.
In 1992, the French then-state-owned Elf Aquitaine oil company agreed to buy the Leuna refinery and the Minol gas station in the former East Germany. This deal supposedly generated nearly $40 million in commissions to lobbyists and politicians.
That's why he helped the German chancellor in his reelection plans. Both leaders sought more power and influence. Their plan succeeded. Kohl was reelected in 1994, and Mitterrand paved the way to implementing the Euro in both countries. However, analyzing their actions in the long run, we can see that they completely failed. Kohl was voted out of office in 1998 and recently was removed from the Christian Democratic Party leadership because of his corrupt actions. Then Mitterrand was forced to privatize Elf Aquitaine in 1994. This ended with all the undue privileges Mitterrand used to give his allies, using the company as a nest for corruption, illegal actions and shame to the French population. Unfortunately, most of Mitterrand's dark side was only revealed after his death, in January 1996.
The Euro reached its lowest level ever last week, alarming most of the members of the European Union that gathered for the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. This decrease of the Euro value worries everyone so much because it makes European exports cheaper and inflation widespread in the countries that adopted it as the official currency.

Baseball player deserves harsh penalty for actions
D diversity matters. I sat in disbelief, astonished by what one man could say—how his words could infuriate me so much. I don't know why, but I was ticked beyond belief. I had just heard what John Rocker told a Sports Illustrated reporter, and was beside myself.
Rocker had put down everyone in America with his comments except for white heterosexual males. He had personally offended me, a minority and the son of immigrants, as well as millions

I have always thought that I was on the outside looking in. I understand the enormous advances this country has made dealing with racial acceptance, but I know that we are far from reaching true equality in everyone's minds. So, after some time passed and I repeatedly read the statement Rocker had made, my astonishment diminished. Don't get me wrong—I am

still furious, without a doubt. However, I know people such as Rocker are out there and think they are free to voice their idiotic opinions.
Initially, I did not think major league baseball could do anything to Rocker because of the first amendment, which guarantees our freedom of speech. I was wrong. According to Harvard Law School professor Paul Weiler, Rocker's comments are not protected because he does not belong to a public organization. Private organizations have the right to punish their employees or members according to their rules and regulations.
Therefore, commissioner Bud Seig has the authority to suspend Rocker. However, I believe this is the wrong move. I wouldn't mind if the Atlanta Braves fired him because that would make a strong statement. It would show Americans that there are things more important than winning.
If this doesn't happen, I would not be too depressed because I think there is a better reprimand. In my mind, the fiercest punishment would be for him to face the wrath of his teammates, opposing players and baseball fans.
He still did not understand the severity of his comments. The only way to show him what a Neanderthal he was would be to put him in front of a jury. Not a jury of peers, but a jury of various people, ranging from minority teammates Brian Jordan and Andres Galaragga to baseball fan such as you and me. Then, and only then, will Rocker realize how much of an idiot he has been.
Rocker publicly apologized and said he was responding to the actions of New York fans, But I still can't understand what Rocker was thinking of when he made these comments. Even after the damage was done, and he had a chance to somewhat reconcile with everyone during an interview with Peter Gammons, his mental inability to understand the seriousness of his actions kept him as a disgrace to his family, town and country.
I personally am looking forward to the end of his suspension. I am eager to find out how his teammates will react to him. Even some of his Caucasian teammates have spoken out against him, such as Chipper Jones and Tom Glavine. Can you imagine the response from his minority teammates? Not to mention his supposed friend he referred to as a "fat monkey." And what happens when he plays against other teams? I possibly could understand that his teammates might find it easier to forgive him, but opposing players have no reason to care. Picture Rocker accidentally hitting Albert Belle with a baseball. That will be one to remember.
I would like to see Rocker punished just as much as anyone else does. But if think suspension is the wrong answer, because that only saves him from the fierce punishment he deserves. Dealing with what he said is what will teach him a lesson — one that a suspension alone will not.

Senate passes bill to raise minimum wage by a dollar
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Teeing up for an election-year fight, the Senate approved a Republican bill yesterday that would boost the minimum wage by $1 an hour during a three-year period, a amount of time President Clinton and Democrats sav is too long to wait.
With many Republicans — especially in the House — eager to avoid repeated campaign-season attacks on the widely popular issue, some increase in the current $5.15 hourly minimum seems likely to become law before Election Day. But with the White House and Democrats also objecting to the measure's $18 billion in tax cuts through five years — mostly for small business owners — it is unclear what the final version will look like. The GOP's desire to avoid making the proposal a campaign issue gives Democrats little incentive to quickly fix for anything less than what they want: a two-year phase-in, with a much smaller tax package.
"That's not the kind of legislation the president can sign," said White House press secretary Joe Lockhart, citing its three-year phase-in and a bevy of tax cuts for special interest groups.
The minimum-wage boost was included in a bill that would overhaul the nation's bankruptcy laws approved by the Senate 83-14.
Last November, the House Ways and Means Committee approved a separate GOP bill that would increase the minimum wage by $1 during three years and includes a $30 billion, five-year package of tax cuts. Some $16 billion of that price tag is a reduction in the estate tax paid by upper-income people who inherit substantial assets.
But the fate of the House legislation is unclear. With defections likely by moderate Republicans from urban, northeastern districts, GOP leaders so far lack the
votes to move their version of the bill through the House.
"I hate it." House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said Tuesday when asked about the minimum wage increase. "Obviously, we don't have the votes to stop minimum wage, so we ought to do something that lessens the burden on people that pay the wages."
About 11 million Americans are paid the minimum wage. About half of them are less than 24 years old, and many hold part-time jobs.
This year's Senate bill would increase the wage by 35 cents an hour in March 2000, by 35 cents more in March 2001 and 30 cents in March 2002.
The Democratic alternative would have raised the minimum wage by $1 with two 50-cent increases during 13 months, while also providing $9.6 billion in tax relief and raising other taxes.
Democrats note that as is, it pays $10,700 a year for 52 40-hour weeks — $3,200 below the poverty line for a family of three. They also say the difference between their version and the GOP language would cost each minimum-wage earner $1,200.
"The watered-down wage proposal in this bill is an insult to hard-working men and women," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., sponsor of the Democratic proposal.
GOP lawmakers argue that raising the minimum wage would help low-income families by less than meets the eye because many recipients are teen-agers, not parents of low-income families. They also say businesses could eliminate up to 500,000 jobs rather than increase minimum salaries.
The Senate GOP bill includes health insurance deduction for workers who lack employer-provided coverage and an immediate 100 percent deduction for the self-employed.
Interest rate hiked
WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve raised a key interest rate yesterday by a quarter point the fourth increase since June in an effort to slow the red-hot economy and keep inflation from becoming a problem.
The Associated Press
The announcement came after a closed-door meeting of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee led by chairman Alan Greenspan, the committee that sets interest rate policies.
The Fed said it was increasing its target for the federal funds rate — the interest that banks charge each other on overnight loan — to 5.75 percent from 5.50 percent.
It also raised its mostly symbolic discount rate, the interest that the Fed charges to make direct loans to banks, by a quarter point to 5.25 percent from 5 percent.
In a statement explaining its decision, the Fed said it continued to be worried that the rapidly growing economy could foster inflationary imbalances that would undermine the economy's record economic expansion.
The stock market offered a mixed reaction to the Fed's announcement. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 37.85 points to close at 11,003.20.
Dow rose as much as 60 points moments before the Fed released its decision, then bobbed between positive and negative territory for much of the rest of the session. The Nasdaq finished modestly higher.
The Fed's decision marked the fourth time since June that the central bank has raised the funds rate.
Many economists think today's rate increase will be followed by
two or more increases before the end of June. "The Fed is now on record saying inflation is its primary concern," said Sung Won Sohn, Wells Fargo's chief economist. "This sets
A. G. BALDWIN
Greenspan: voted to raise interest rate to slow economy
the stage, I think, for more hikes later this year."
Critics said the Fed's action was not warranted. Jerry Jasinowski, president of National Association of Manufacturers, said he is concerned that today's rate increases are premised on an exaggerated fear of inflation.

Senate passes bill to raise minimum wage by a dollar
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Teeing up for an election-year fight, the Senate approved a Republican bill yesterday that would boost the minimum wage by $1 an hour during a three-year period, a amount of time President Clinton and Democrats say is too long to wait.
With many Republicans — especially in the House — eager to avoid repeated campaign-season attacks on the widely popular issue, some increase in the current $5.15 hourly minimum seems likely to become law before Election Day. But with the White House and Democrats also objecting to the measure's $18 billion in tax cuts through five years — mostly for small business owners — it is unclear what the final version will look like. The GOP's desire to avoid making the proposal a campaign issue gives Democrats little incentive to quickly settle for anything less than what they want: a two year phase-in, with a much smaller tax package.
"That's not the kind of legislation the president can sign," said White House press secretary Joe Lockhart, citing its three-year phase-in and a bevy of tax cuts for special interest groups.
The minimum-wage boost was included in a bill that would overhaul the nation's bankruptcy laws approved by the Senate 83-14.
Last November, the House Ways and Means Committee approved a separate GOP bill that would increase the minimum wage by $1 during three years and includes a $30 billion, five-year package of tax cuts. Some $16 billion of that price tag is a reduction in the estate tax paid by upper-income people who inherit substantial assets.
But the fate of the House legislation is unclear. With defections likely by moderate Republicans from urban, northeastern districts, GOP leaders so far lack the
votes to move their version of the bill through the House.
"I hate it," House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said Tuesday when asked about the minimum wage increase. "Obviously, we don't have the votes to stop minimum wage, so we ought to do something that lessens the burden on people that pay the wages."
About 11 million Americans are paid the minimum wage. About half of them are less than 24 years old, and many hold part-time jobs.
This year's Senate bill would increase the wage by 35 cents an hour in March 2000, by 35 cents more in March 2001 and 30 cents in March 2002.
The Democratic alternative would have raised the minimum wage by $1 with two 50-cent increases during 13 months, while also providing $9.6 billion in tax relief and raising other taxes.
Democrats note that as is, it pays $10,700 a year for 52 40-hour weeks — $3,200 below the poverty line for a family of three. They also say the difference between their version and the GOP language would cost each minimum-wage earner $1,200.
"The watered-down wage proposal in this bill is an insult to hard-working men and women," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., sponsor of the Democratic proposal.
GOP lawmakers argue that raising the minimum wage would help low-income families by less than meets the eye because many recipients are teen-agers, not parents of low-income families. They also say businesses could eliminate up to 500,000 jobs rather than increase minimum salaries.
The Senate GOP bill includes health insurance deduction for workers who lack employer-provided coverage and an immediate 100 percent deduction for the self-employed.
Interest rate hiked
WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve raised a key interest rate yesterday by a quarter point the fourth increase since June in an effort to slow the red-hot economy and keep inflation from becoming a problem.
The Associated Press
The announcement came after a closed-door meeting of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee led by chairman Alan Greenspan, the committee that sets interest rate policies.
The Fed said it was increasing its target for the federal funds rate — the interest that banks charge each other on overnight loan — to 5.75 percent from 5.50 percent.
It also raised its mostly symbolic discount rate, the interest that the Fed charges to make direct loans to banks, by a quarter point to 5.25 percent from 5 percent.
In a statement explaining its decision, the Fed said it continued to be worried that the rapidly growing economy could foster inflationary imbalances that would undermine the economy's record economic expansion.
The stock market offered a mixed reaction to the Fed's announcement. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 37.85 points to close at 11,003.20.
Dow rose as much as 60 points moments before the Fed released its decision, then bobbed between positive and negative territory for much of the rest of the session. The Nasdaq finished modestly higher.
two or more increases before the end of June.
The Fed's decision marked the fourth time since June that the central bank has raised the funds rate.
"The Fed is now on record saying inflation is its primary concern." said Sung Wong Sohn, Wells Fargo's chief economist. "This sets

the stage, I think, for more hikes later this year."
Critics said the Fed's action was not warranted. Jerry Jasinowski, president of National Association of Manufacturers, said he is concerned that today's rate increases are premised on an exaggerated fear of inflation.

Israel accused of hiding warheads
Legislator reveals nuclear capability
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — The first public parliamentary debate of Israel's top-secret nuclear weapons arsenal degenerated into an ugly confrontation yesterday when an Arab legislator announced that Israel has up to 300 nuclear warheads, prompting Jewish lawmakers to call him a spokesman for terrorists.
Military censorship always has forbidden reports in the local media about Israel's nuclear arsenal. But Issam Mahoul's speech, broadcast live on television, gave Israelis their first opportunity to hear details from one of their own. Most Jewish lawmakers marched out of parliament in protest.
A visibly uncomfortable Cabinet minister, Haim Ramon, responded
to Mahoul by repeating Israel's well-known, yet vague nuclear policy statement and refuting Mahoul's premise that the public has the right to know.
Ramon said Israel would not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East, a decades-old policy known as "ambiguity," implying that Israel has nuclear arms capability, but not actual bombs.
Two diplomats from the Egyptian embassy in Tel Aviv watched the debate from the gallery. Egypt has been pressing for Israel to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and get rid of the weapons it never has admitted having.
Jewish members interrupted Mahoul's speech with catcalls as he declared: "All the world knows that Israel is a vast warehouse of atomic, biological and chemical weapons that serves as the anchor for the Middle East arms race."
Some lawmakers called him a spokesman for Arab terrorists.
"All the world knows that Israel is a vast warehouse of atomic, biological and chemical weapons."
Issam Mahoul
Legislator
"You are committing a crime against Israeli Arabs today," shouted Ofer Pines-Paz, an Arab and chairman of Prime Minister Ehud Barak's coalition in parliament.
Undeterred, Mahoul went on to claim that Israel's three new German-built submarines would be fitted with nuclear weapons to provide Israel the capacity to retaliate if hit with a nuclear attack. Mahoul said the policy undermined government claims that its nuclear threat is a deterrent to attack.
Mahoul said Israel's vague policy statement had lost all credibility,
pointing to disclosures by Mordechai Vanunu, who worked at Israel's desert nuclear reactor before revealing nuclear weapons secrets to the London Sunday Times in 1986. He was sentenced to 18 years in prison for treason.
A dozen Israeli antinuclear weapons activists, invited by Mahoul's Hadash party, sat in the gallery. One of them, Glideon Spiro, said the government's ambiguity policy was wearing thin.
"The difference is that the same old lies are being told against the background of more transparency from the point of view of information that's available to us," he said.
The debate was raucous and bitter even by the standards of Israel's unruly parliament. It created a rare public split down ethnic lines, with Jews from almost all political backgrounds opposing the Arab members, though Barak's party often sides with the Arab members and counts on them for political support.

'Hawks eye payback for Hawkeyes
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Kansas coach Roy Williams remembers the date not so fondly.
It was the night of Dec. 8, 1998, that the Iowa Hawkeyes stormed into Allen Fieldhouse, overcame a nine-point halftime deficit and escaped with an 85-81 victory.
That snapped Kansas' school record 62-game homecourt winning streak and was the first time the Jayhawks had been mugged in their own house since 1994.
"I remember the game," Williams said. "It's not one that I forgot quickly because it did break the streak. The memories I have of that game are bad."
The pain was equally felt among the Kansas players — from guard Kenny Gregory, who scored 20 points in the loss, to Nick Bradford, who was forced to play power forward because the Jayhawks were decimated with injuries.
Even those players who weren't on last season's squad felt the burning.
Kansas freshman forward Drew Gooden said he remembered watching the game on ESPN and feeling helpless as the Jayhawks were battered around inside by the Hawkeyes.
"It's not one that I forgot quickly because it did break the streak. The memories I have of that game are bad."
Roy Williams
Kansas basketball coach
No. 15 Kansas (16-4 and 5-2 in the Big 12 Conference) will get a chance for revenge tonight. The Jayhawks will take on Iowa at 6:05 p.m. at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa.
The Hawkeyes are a slightly different team than they were last year when they snapped Kansas' back. Iowa still is led by center Jacob Jaacks and point guard Dean Oliver, but the Hawkeyes now are coached by former Southwest Missouri State coach Steve Alford.
Alford's team is currently 9-10 overall and is near the bottom of the Big Ten Conference standings at 3-5.
"I know they will be a different
team with Steve coaching them compared to Tom [Davis]," Williams said. "They'll be enthused because this will be a big game for them."
It also will be a big game for the Jayhawks because a win would snap a two-game losing streak on the road. In those two losses — at Missouri and Iowa State — the Jayhawks were exploited by smaller lineups in the post and quicker guards on the perimeter.
But the Kansas players still are downplaying their recent road burn-outs.
"It just hurts to lose," said Kansas forward Nick Collison.
"It's nothing we're worried about, like we can't win on the road or anything like that. But we've got to play better and

quit making mistakes.
Nick Bradford:

in Iowa
"Hopefully, we can beat the good teams on the road, because that's what we've got to do to accomplish our goals."
Kansas basketball notes:
- Iowa will be the fourth Big Ten school the Jayhawks have faced this season. Kansas has lost to Michigan State and Illinois, and defeated Ohio State.
Kansas will be making its ninth of 10 regular season appearances on ESPN tonight.

Recruiting class to provide needed depth
Jayhawks sign 27 new players for 2000 season
By Allan Davis sports@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter
it was a late Christmas for Kansas football coach Terry Allen.
"It's unequivocally our best recruiting class that we've had since we've been here at Kansas." Allen said.
National football signing day left Allen extremely pleased with the quality of the 27 athletes who signed letters of intent to attend Kansas and play football.
Kansas received faxed letters of intent from all 27 athletes mentioned on the recruiting Web sites, MO-KAN Football, Big 12 Blitz and Big 12 Recruiting, as having given verbal commitments to the Jayhawks.
Three mid-year transfers from junior colleges — defensive linemen Ryan Atkinson and Marquis Hayes and offensive lineman Tony Damiani
already are enrolled here at Kansas, a move that would allow them to participate in spring drills.
The Jayhawks signed 13 linemen,13 players at skill positions and one kicker.
Eleven of the recruits are from junior college, and 16 are high school
seniors.
Allen said that all of the players should qualify academically and that there were no long shots at qualifying
shots at quarrying.
This year's recruits include players up front whose size and strength should make the Jayhawks a more physical team, Allen said. The graduation of some of last year's linemen, especially on defense, made linemen a necessity for the Jayhawks.
PETER KINNEY
Allen: Signed one of the best recruiting classes ever
Consider the need filled.
"We feel as though we had some good redshirt freshmen defensive linemen," Allen said. "But you know as well as I do that if you toss a redshirt freshman out there in the Big 12 competition, it's going to be a real physical mismatch. But now we've got some guys that are a little bit older and a little more mature."
Allen was pleased that the Jayhawks signed three players they wanted from Garden City Community College, including junior college All-American Ervin Holloman.
Junior college players, Allen said, had the best chance to make an immediate impact, because he expects 80 to 90 percent of the high school senior recruits to take a redshirt year. But considering the talent of the class, he
"There are some guys in there that we're going to have to take a real close look at because they do have some excellent ability."
Terry Allen Kansas football coach
isn't ruling anything out.
"There are some guys in there that we're going to have to take a real close look at because they do have some excellent ability," Allen said.
Allen said cornerback was one position in which a true freshman might be used, but junior college defensive back Jamarei Bryant, a quality player with excellent speed, was expected to contribute there.
Both kickers, punter Joey Pelfanio and place-kicker Joe Garcia, would be seniors next year, Allen said, and he anticipated that punter/place-kicker Chris Tyrell also would be a redshirt.
Allen said Kinsey was more like quarterback Dylen Smith and that
The Jayhawks also landed two highly-regarded quarterbacks, Mario Kinsey and Kevin Long, who Allen said were the best high school quarterbacks he'd been able to recruit since he'd been at Kansas. He described Long as having good size (6-foot-5), a strong arm and deceptive speed for a player his size.

Allen complimented the Athletics Department and his staff for contributing to the successful recruiting year. The upgrade of the indoor facility, the press box at the stadium and the video board were major factors in attracting recruits.

"Those were concrete things that student athletes could see when they visited campus, and I think that really elevated the quality of our class," he said.
Now, he has time to do the things he's been putting off since Christmas.

Kansas football will score with recruits
The one-time football joke of the Big 12 Conference landed one of the nation's top recruiting classes yesterday.
He checked out the plains of Iowa and Texas. He flew to the beaches of California and Florida. He even stayed in the state of Kansas, just to find the best football players in the nation. And do you know what else he did on his journeys? He pushed Kansas into football respectability.
Look who's laughing now.
After the season, that's exactly what Allen did.
Look who's laughing now. A loss to San Diego State in October left the Jayhawks with a 1-3 record, and many Jayhawk supporters were telling coach Terry Allen to take a hike.
BOWIE
Allen and the Jayhawks know that football powers are built from the ground up. First came the facilities. "You can't recruit to a blueprint," Allen said yesterday. Then on-the-field success started. After a disastrous start, the pesky Jayhawks were nipping at the Big 12's heels at the end of the season, evidenced by a 21-0 walloping of Missouri and a nail-biting 24-17 loss to Nebraska.

Now, the recruits have fallen into line.

Many of the 27 new gridders were lured to Lawrence because Kansas recruited them first.
Undoubtedly, the outstanding character of Allen and the remainder of the coaching staff played a large role as well.

Chiefs drug bust linked to Jayhawks
Bv Chris Wristen
University of Kansas officials denied yesterday that the KU football program or any other University athletic team had any involvement with a federal drug investigation involving Kansas City Chiefs kick-return specialist Tamarick Vanover and running back Bam Morris.

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas City Star reported Tuesday that a federal magistrate judge had denied bond for Chad Pollard, one of many accused in a Kansas City drug trafficking case, after an FBI agent testified that Pollard had supplied members of the KU football team, as well as various fraternity members, with drugs since 1996.
Pollard was mentioned in an affidavit involving Greg Burns, Vanover's personal assistant, who
was charged last week with conspiracy to distribute marijuana and cocaine.
Pollard and Logan Gearhardt, also mentioned in the affidavit, were charged early last month with drug trafficking.
The agent's testimony came as a surprise to KU officials.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, denied the allegations yesterday and said the University had no knowledge of the alleged involvement.
Football coach Terry Allen also said the news was new to him.
Frederick said he contacted Ralph Oliver, director of Public Safety, and asked him to contact the FBI to find out any information about University involvement.
"This morning I met with the Chancellor, and he knew nothing about it," Frederick said. "I showed him the newspaper article from Kansas City, and we heard absolutely nothing from anybody."
"We got a call about it yesterday afternoon and read about it this morning in the paper, but that's all I know." Allen said.
"We have year-round drug testing in the Athletics Department, institutionally, and of course, the Big 12 Conference has drug testing, and the NCAA has drug testing both which occur during the academic year," Frederick said. "But we know absolutely nothing."
The University and Athletics Department have a strict anti-drug policy and that drug use is not tolerated. Frederick, said.
Todd Cohen of University Relations stood behind the policy as well and said it was strictly enforced.
"We have a very strong anti-drug policy, and it's very clear to students that if we find a violation, we'll report it and you'll be subject to federal and state laws as well as our own academic probation rules," he said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 3).
You're full of new ideas this year, but it's your experience that really pays. Draw up your blueprints in February. Put your money down in March. Practice makes perfect in April. Listen to your elders in May. Let a Leo lead you in August. Feedback from your friends is good in December. An old love comes back next January.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
You've been under a great deal of pressure the past few days. And, guess what? You still arel Luckily, you work well in this situation. No need to get angry if the heat's turned up. You can always pull up stakes and go somewhere else.
You're most likely in an entrepreneurial mood. You could come up with an idea, but don't be dismayed if it doesn't work right away. You don't know everything you need to know yet — but you're learning!
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You may have to curtail your activities for a while, due to lack of funds. You do have the money — but if you spend it on one thing, you won't be able to spend it on the other. If you think of this as a game instead of a dilemma, it's all a lot more fun.
Cancer: Todav is a 5.
There's aren't going smooth today. Make sure you're being properly represented. Delegation is good, but if you're responsible for the results, you'd better stay tuned in to the proceedings.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Take things slowly and carefully now. Rely on a partner who knows more about what you're doing than you do. If you don't already have somebody like that on your team, get one immediately. If you don't, your competition has a distinct advantage
Virgo:Today is an 8.
You could encounter a difficult situation. Sure, you're still lucky and popular, but you may be a lit tle bit strapped for cash. You want something you can't afford. No big deal. What you've got is better than what you lack. You can do without it.
Libra: Today is a 6.
You have one last issue to be deal with. If you're charming, as you usually are, you should be able to get most of what you want. Resist the temptation to have a fit if it feels like things are not going your way. You're more apt to win if you don't fear losing
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
C
You are a high-energy person. If anybody could be in two places at the same time, it's you. Today that would come in handy. Maybe you can do it — let your fingers do the walking. Phone ahead!
Whatever you're doing now is more difficult than you'd like it to be. It's also taking up too much of your time. You may have to postpone a date you were eagerly anticipating. Romance will be much easier during the weekend anyway.
You should find a way to make more money. This could be either by taking on another job or by getting a better deal on something you always buy. Look for bargains and other opportunities. Don't let a minor breakdown stop you.
You're intelligent — but, you already knew that.
What you may not have known is that's not enough.
You also have to be tenacious — it's more important than creativity now. Hopefully, you can learn that.
Pisces: Today is an 8.
2
You're effective when working with a team. You don't quite have what you want yet, but that's OK. Get your act together now so you can take on a bigger challenge tomorrow. The problem gets more complex — but you're getting smarter. Don't give up.

KANSAS VOLLEYBALL Middle blocker leads volleyball recruit list
BALLERINA
The Kansas volleyball team took steps toward shoring up their roster for next season.
The Jayhawks signed three high school recruits — Jordan Garrison, Sarah Rome and Anna Wheeler — to national letters-of-intent, Kansas coach Ray Bechard announced yesterday.
Garrison is a 6-foot-1 middle blocker from Aurora, Ill., who pounded 342 kills to go along with 142 blocks and 206 digs this season.
"Jordan's physical presence and foot speed will help us fill our biggest need, which is at middle blocker," Bechard said. "Her match intensity and enthusiasm are traits which will enable her to have a very successful career at Kansas."
M
Rome, a 5-11 outside hitter from Eagan, Minn., is a four-year letter winner in volleyball and earned Metro Athlete of the Year honors in 1999.
Wheeler is a 6-1 senior from Bellevue, Neb., and will play multiple positions for the Jayhawks. She was named to the Omaha-World Herald All-Nebraska third team, as well as to the All-Metro First Team and the Nike All-Tournament Team this season.
"Sarah has the ability to impact a match in numerous ways." Rechard said.
"Anna is very athletic and has a great understanding and feel for the game," Bechard said. "She per forms at a high level now, but her best volleyball is ahead of her."
Shawn Hutchinson
ATLANTA — The two men killed in a brawl that led to murder charges against NFL star Ray Lewis were stabbed to death by someone who "knew something about anatomy," a medical examiner said yesterday.
The two victims' wounds were directly to major organs and both men quickly bled to death, said John Parker, a Fulton County associate medical examiner.

FOOTBALL
"A lot of times in a fight with a knife, we'll see just mayhem, people swinging wildly, abrasions, light cuts, things like that," Parker said. "This wasn't like that. These were well-directed wounds into vital areas. They knew what they were doing."
The Baltimore Ravens linebacker is being held without bail until at least Feb. 24 and faces life in prison or the death penalty if convicted.
Lewis is charged with two counts of murder in the Monday stabbing deaths of Richard Lollar, 24, and Jacinth "Shorty" Baker, 21.
Lollar was declared dead at the scene by police responding to a fight call in the Buckhead bar district several hours after the Super Bowl ended seven miles away at the Georgia Dome. Baker was transported to a local hospital, but declared dead upon arrival.
Parker said that Baker was wounded in his liver and heart, while Lollar's wounds were concentrated around his heart.

AUSTIN, Texas — Staring at a glaring hole at wide receiver, Texas signed some of the nation's best high school talent at the position yesterday.
The group was a solid encore to the Longhorns' 1999 class, widely rated as the nation's best.
Of the 23 players signed yesterday, the receivers could make the most immediate contributions. All three are expected to compete for playing time next season to replace Kwame Cavil and Ryan Nunez, the Longhorns' top wideouts in 1999.
Texas also signed five linemen and three others labeled as ends, four players listed as backs and athletes, three linebackers, two kickers and a quarterback — Parade All-American Chance Mock of The Woodlands, Texas. Mock passed for 1,441 yards and 16 touchdowns with six interceptions as a senior.
the other Parade honores were running back Arturo "Sneezy" Beltran of Abilene, Texas, who rushed for 2,268 yards and 28 TDs in 1999, and Austin (Lanier), Texas, defensive lineman Sonny Davis.

Eleven of the new recruits played at junior colleges last season, meaning the Jayhawks are aiming to win now. The major issue that Allen needed to address in recruiting was defense — the Jayhawks finished tenth in the conference in total defense last season but were ranked dead last until the halfway mark. Eight of the new junior college players play on that side of the ball, and last year's freshman redshirt
class features at least four defensive players who will be fall standouts.
These newcomers will join standout performers such as solid linebacker Andrew Leclair and first-team, All-Big 12 safety Carl Nesmith to form a much-improved defense.
The offense, once quarterback Dylen Smith settled down, was formidable all season. Next year, the Jayhawks also will get back blazing wide receivers Termaine
Fulton and Byron Gasaway to go along with two blue chip running backs who redshirted in the 1999 campaign.
So what does all of this amount to? For the first time in years, there is no "wait until next year" hovering around the hill. The time to make a bowl push is now because for long suffering Kansas fans, next year has finally arrived.

Three Kansas football players transfer
By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Three players from the 1999 Kansas football team have transferred to other institutions, coach Terry Allen said at a news conference yesterday.
Running back Mike Lewis and outside linebacker Ocasio Cofield transferred to Division I-AA schools. Wide receiver Anton Paige transferred to a junior college in Georginia.
Lewis, a 6-foot, 180-pound sophomore from Beloit, Wis., transferred to Northern Iowa, where Allen
coached before coming to Kansas.
Lewis played in seven games last season, gaining 56 yards on 13 carries and also scored a touchdown. He caught only one pass for five yards. Lewis came to Kansas in 1997 and was a redshirt his freshman year. He missed the 1988 season because of a knee injury.
Allen said Northern Iowa was probably a good place for Lewis.
"I think he can have great success there," Allen said. "It's a good fit for Mike, and it's an opportunity for him. He's a good football player, and I think he'll have a lot of success there."
Cofield, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound
sophomore from Fort Myers, Fla,
transferred to East Tennessee
State. He played in all 12 games last
season but never started. He came
to Kansas in 1997 and was a redshirt his freshman year. He switched from safety to outside linebacker in 1998 and played in all 11 games but did not start.
Paige, a 6-foot-5. 205-pound wide receiver, appeared in all 12 games last season. He caught 5 passes for 49 yards. Allen did not know which junior college in Georgia Paige had chosen.
Doug Vance, assistant athletics director, said all three transferred at semester.

'Hawks ready for Big 10 foe
Men's team takes detour from Big 12
By Matt Tait
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Several years ago, Indiana coach Bobby Knight warned Roy Williams about playing a non-conference game in the middle of the conference season.
"Coach Knight told me I wasn't very smart doing that," Williams said. "And I think he's right."
Even if he does agree, Coach Williams doesn't seem to be taking Knight's warning to heart. The Jayhawks travel out of conference tonight to take on the Big Ten's Iowa Hawkeyes at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in
Iowa City.
The Jayhawks are in the Heart of their Big 12 schedule, but they will have to wait to improve their 5-2 conference record. By playing a Big 10 opponent, Kansas schedule doesn't get any easier, but it won't count in the conference standings.
"It's on the schedule, and we're going to play it." Williams said.
After all, Iowa, while not the same in coach and players, is essentially the same team — in uniform and theory — that beat the Jayhawks last year at Allen Fieldhouse. That loss ended Kansas' home winning streak of 62 games, the longest in the nation at the time.
That loss and the sought-after revenge has served Kansas freshmen Drew Gooden and Kirk Hinrich — a native of Iowa — as motivation.
"I watched that game on ESPN." Gooden said of the loss. "It kind of hurt. It got me down, but I was thinking, 'Will get them back next year.' Watching on TV last year, I couldn't do anything. Now I want to help out and get that win."
Hinrich, who was hassled by his hometown buddies after the loss, said that he really wanted a win tonight, but for more than just revenge.
His friend and high school teammate, Kyle Galloway is a guard for the Hawkeyes and is averaging 7.9 points per game. A Kansas win would give Hinrich bragging rights.
"I wasn't at the game (last year), but I heard about it." Hinrich laughed.
Aside from Galloway's contribution, the Hawkeyes have three players averaging double-figures in scoring and are led by All-America
candidate Dean Oliver, who is averaging 14.2 points and 4.4 assists per game.
Williams and Iowa coach Steve Alford both agreed that playing a non-conference game in the middle of conference play was difficult, but both said that their teams would be ready.
"It does provide the guys a break," Alford said. "But there are pros and cons of having a non-conference game right now. We are coming off a big league win on the road, and it would be nice to continue league play and keep that momentum going."
That win, a 55-51 thriller at Wisconsin, brought the Hawkeyes' record to 9-10 overall and 3-5 in the conference.
Iowa's chance to keep its momentum going and Kansas' chance to bounce back from a 74-66 loss at Iowa State on Saturday will begin at 6 p.m. today.
Bowlers rack up third-place finish in tournament
A new set of NCAA rules will let high schools determine whether athletes have fulfilled course requirements for college eligibility.
A committee of the governing body recommended the change last spring, and the NCAA Division I and II memberships recently approved the legislation.
INDIANAPOLIS — High school athletes will now have an easier time meeting academic standards that allow them to play college sports.
The decision means that many athletes who had been denied scholarships in the past now will be able to qualify for them.
NCAA softens academic standards
The NCAA eliminated certain parts of the course requirements, giving high school principals more latitude in setting the agenda. The change takes effect immediately.
The old rules were much more stringent and allowed the NCAA to determine what were acceptable courses. For example, one previous regulation disqualified social studies courses that devoted more

A pair of young gun-slingers led the charge as the Kansas men's bowling team captured third place at the 40th Annual Mid-States Intercollegiate Bowling Championships last weekend
"In areas of science and English, for example, they do a lot of interdisciplinary work."
Freshman Glenn Harrison got the Jayhawks started by rolling a perfect 300 score in the opening game of the tournament. The feat marked just the fourth time a Kansas bowler has ever rolled a perfect game in intercollegiate competition.
"We've become more generic in defining those academic criteria." Bob Oliver, director of NCAA membership services, said yesterday.
than 25 percent of classroom time to current affairs or independent study.
The new rules require several things. Courses must now be considered college preparatory, must be taught at or above the high school's regular academic level and must qualify for graduation credit in English, math, natural or physical science, social science, foreign language, computer science or nondoctrinal religion or philosophy.
tion and correspondence and Internet courses may now be part of the criteria for core subjects.
Oliver said the changes had come about after two years of discussions.
Independent study, individual instruc-
"In areas of science and English, for example, they do a lot of interdisciplinary work," he said. "We're saying, if you give a course in English credit at your high school and that is preparing the student for a four-year college, then that is meeting the intent of what we're trying to do."
Bob Oliver director of NCAA membership services
He said the intent of the decision was to prepare students to succeed in college.
The NCAA in most cases will accept a principal's certification that a course satisfies requirements. Oliver said.
"The only time we'll investigate is if they send in a course titled woodworking or drivers ed or phys ed or remedial reading," he said. "That would throw up a red flag. Maybe those are gross exaggerations of what might come in, but in the instructions we have sent to high schools we clarify that the NCAA has the authority to ask about a course whose title is off in left field."
and pulling the Jayhawks into third place for the weekend, behind tournament champion Wichita State and runner-up Central Missouri State. Both teams are ranked in the top 10 nationally. Fine said the day Keeler had was remarkable.
"There was no luck about it," said coach Michael Fine. "All 12 shots were good ones. He stepped right out of the box and they were all good throws."
After a scorching start, the team cooled off and found themselves in the middle of the pack at the end of Saturday's competition.
"He was outstanding." Fine said. "The second day he was in a zone. To bowl that consistently for six games is impressive. He clearly established himself as one of the elite bowlers in the country."
Sunday was another story though, as sophomore Mike Keeler found his stroke and helped lead the Jayhawks back into the hunt.
Keeler, who finished with a weekend average of 227, unloaded on Sunday and averaged more than 250 per game and earned All-Tournament Team honors. His hot hand sparked a late run by Kansas, moving the team up three places
Keeler said he was proud of how he bowled but his main focus was on the team.
"I was really focused on in helping the team and trying to do my best to help us move up." Keeler said. "I kept throwing strikes and I couldn't miss. They just kept coming."
Keeler praised the contributions of the freshmen for the team's improvement. Four of the team's top seven rollers are freshmen and Keeler said their contributions are encouraging for the team's future.
The women's team didn't fair as well, placing fifth out of six teams. Freshmen Christy Distler and Kristina Boehm paced the Jayhawks, averaging 194 and 192, respectively. Central Missouri State placed first and Wichita State placed second.

Thomas wreck caused by speeding, police say
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A police report that indicated Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas was speeding and weaving in traffic before his deadly accident has not persuaded a prosecutor to file charges.
After viewing the Missouri State Highway Patrol report Tuesday, Clay County Prosecutor Don Norris said there was insufficient evidence to charge the nine-time Pro Bowler.
Thomas was left paralyzed from the chest down from injuries suffered when his Chevolet Suburban slid off Interstate 435 and rolled at least three times in the median during a snowstorm on Jan. 23. Thomas was driving in an icy snowstorm toward Kansas City International Airport to catch a flight for a St. Louis Rams playoff game.
Thomas's close friend Michael D. Tellis, a passenger, was killed. Neither he nor Thomas was wearing a seat belt, and both were thrown from the vehicle. A second passenger was belted in and suffered only minor injuries.
Tellis's family has asked that Thomas not be charged.
Although the Highway Patrol concluded Thomas was driving too fast for conditions, the troopers who investigated the accident did not ticket him.
Thomas, 33, is hospitalized in his hometown of Miami.
"I view reports presented to me as
to whether I should issue something more serious than the traffic summons the officer could write," Norris said.
In the report,
Judy Jenkins of
Warrensburg
said she was in
the left lane
about two or
three car
lengths behind
PETER BURNS
the truck. Thomas came up behind Jenkins' car, cut back into the right lane and then cut back between Jenkins' car and the truck.
Thomas: Will not be charged in traffic accident
Thomas' car went sideways, hit the median and began rolling. Thomas and Tellis were thrown out of side windows.
Titans celebrate season with hometown parade
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans made a promise to their fans: They will return to the Super Bowl.
Thousands of fans filled downtown Tuesday to thank the team for a most unlikely journey.
The Titans' season ended when a pass play fell just short of the end zone on the final play, giving the St. Louis Rams a 23-16 victory against Tennessee in Sunday's Super Bowl.
"Unfortunately, we came up short," quarterback Steve McNair told a crowd of about 20,000 fans in the Adelphia Coliseum, where the Titans went undefeated en route to their first Super Bowl.
"But we're working hard, starting tomorrow, to get back to this point because this is an exciting feeling to see you people out here supporting us even though we came up short. But next year, we're going to take it all the way, and we're going to come back with a victory in the Super Bowl."
downtown, where players and coaches rode in convertibles and were showered in confetti in near-freezing temperatures.
"I've been in a few St. Patrick's Day parades in New York, but this is incredible,"
said backup quarterback N e i l O'Donnell, who used to play for the Jets.
The parade wound through

Del Greco said: "This makes it all worthwhile. We know we're loved, and we'll do it next year."
Receiver Chris Sanders jumped out of his convertible, ran and high-fived fans on both sides of the parade route, then jumped back in his car.

Coach Jeff Fisher carried the AFC championship trophy while riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
The Titans' parade snaked across a bridge over the Cumberland River into Adelphia Coliseum, where even more fans waited, bundled in coats and blankets.

Drug probe investigates University
By Sara Shepherd and Chris Wristen
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writers
University officials said yesterday that they had no prior knowledge of allegations of a University of Kansas connection to a Kansas City drug trafficking case.
Defendants Chad W. Pollard and Logan J. Gearheart, both of Kansas City, Kan., were charged with drug trafficking in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri. The two men allegedly were involved in marijuana and cocaine distribution with Greg Burns, personal assistant to Kansas City Chiefs kick returner Tamarick Vanover.
According to a court detention order filed Jan. 27, Pollard had been supplying drugs to Kansas football players and KU fraternities since 1996.
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said the allegations did not provide enough information for the University to investigate.
"There's no dates, no times, no names, no amounts, no evidence," Cohen said. "There's nothing to look in right now, but the FBI is handling that."
Ralph Oliver, KU public safety director, said in a statement yesterday that the KU Public Safety Office had offered to assist the FBI in its ongoing investigation.
"We have contacted the FBI, and they have assured us they will share with the University any information regarding a possible KU connection to a criminal investigation in Kansas City," Oliver said. "The information will be turned over to the KU Office of Public Safety at the appropriate time after the current judicial proceedings."
However, Oliver said the Public Safety Office had no additional information about the allegations at this point other than what was reported in a Wednesday article in The Kansas City Star.

Soothing scents of healing
Oils, candles used in aromatherapy

Aromatherapy, the art of combining herbal fragrances to enhance the senses and sooth the mind, provides the means for an emotional escape, said Loni Hosking, showroom manager at Waxman Candles Inc., 609 Massachusetts St.
"Different herbs energize thoughts," Hosking said. "You can use them to relax, or to be happy or to just be at peace."
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, agreed.
"Different aromas can make us alter our perceptions of our surroundings," Rock said. "I believe some aromas develop certain feelings and may give us comfort, pleasure and relaxation."

There are hundreds of natural herbs used in aromatherapy that provide different escape measures, said Olivia London, employee at Bloom Bath Body & Home, 704 Massachusetts St.
Mindy Berns/KANSAN
"Aromatherapy can do lots and lots of different things," London said. "For example, lavender smell brings your shoulders down and makes you feel more balanced, and rosemary and eucalyptus oils give you a lot of energy."
The most popular tools of aromatherapy are massage oils and lotions, bath products and scented candles.
When used in baths, aromatherapeutic oils are beneficial because the water's own therapeutic value enhances the powers of the essential oils, according to the Guide to Aromatherapy at http://www.fragrant.demon.co.uk. The guide also suggested using a cotton compress soaked in warm water with five to 10 drops of oil to soothe tight muscle areas.
London said the most effective way to use aromatherapy was to get lost in the scents and allow the body to soak in the fragrances.
London and Hosking both recommended combining different herbal fragrances to fully enhance the senses and the therapeutic benefits.
"Aromatherapy is used primarily because the herbal combinations enhance basically everything." London said.
The herbal scents can be added to several products ranging from candles and bath powders to body lotions and massage oils, London said. She said the scents in the aromatherapy line at Bloom could be either combined or added to lotions and oils, depending on the emotional goal desired.
According to the Guide to Aromatherapy, essential oils are antiseptic and evaporate easily, creating herbal-scented air fresheners.
Emily Radke, Lincoln. Neb., sophomore,
said that when she knew she was going to
be in her room, she would light candles. She said that the burning candles made her room smell better and feel cleaner.
However, Radke said that the healing powers candles were supposed to have
really didn't have a physical effect on her.
Rock said that although the fragrances of some herbs could stimulate body processes, aromatherapy was not used at Watkins.

Elders addresses health care need during speech
Former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders criticized the level of health care available to poor and minority groups in America last night as she covered a wide range of topics in a speech for African-American history month.
By Ryan Blethen
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The first African American and the second woman to be Surgeon General came to the Kansas Union Ballroom and spoke to a crowd of about 110 for African-American History Month.
Elders told the audience that this was a month to reflect on what African Americans had done throughout American history.
"We make sure every criminal has a lawyer,but
Elders' speech covered everything from the presidential race to educating America's youth about sex, Medicaid and the low numbers of African Americans on college campuses.
Elders criticized all the presidential hopefuls because they had not taken a strong stand on how to improve the state of health care.
"We still have too many children becoming parents before they are adults. We've got to teach them to be responsible."
Joycelyn Elders Former U.S. Surgeon General
Elders said a major problem facing minorities in America was health care. She said that only 3 percent of doctors were African American and that the number of minorities entering medical school had decreased. "Dozens is no longer given."
"Power is never given, she said. "You have to take it away."
Elders said America needed to teach its youth about responsibility, a theme she hammered repeatedly.
"We still have too many children becoming parents before they are adults," she said.

Speaker talks to group about making Web sites
A representative from Netopia, a computer communications and networking company based in Alameda, Calif., spoke to about 50 business students and several high school students yesterday about creating Web sites for small businesses.
Joe Ozorkiewicz, a KU graduate, said Netopia's technology had Kansas roots. He said the technology of screen sharing was developed in Colby. The function makes it possible for businesses to help clients operate software by seeing what is on their client's computer.
Ozorkiewicz said that in the mid-1980s, a company that did accounting for school systems needed a way to help customers with software without driving 200 miles across Western Kansas. That technology is now used by Netopia, he said.
While Netopia has helped to create Internet commerce for companies as far away as France and Denmark, Ozorkiewicz said it also worked with local businesses.
"I really get excited when I see businesses around the area using Netopia," he said. "I guess I identify with them more."
Coc Van, Wichita senior, said information from the presentation would be helpful when her entrepreneurship class worked on a Web site for a Kansas City entrepreneur.
Van said Ozkierkiz gave good advice about designing its first Web site.
"You want everything to be flashy, but sometimes there's too much to look at." Van said.

LAWRENCE
Rayford scheduled to have trial by jury
A jury will determine the fate of a former Kansas football player facing criminal charges in connection with a November incident at Taco Bell.
Dion Rayford, Los Gatos, Calif., senior, is set to stand trial at 9 a.m. March 6 at Division 5 court. His attorney, J.C. Gilroy, requested a trial by jury at a court appearance yesterday.
The 6-foot-3, 260-pound former defensive end is charged with disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and possession of an open container. In November, Rayford attempted to force himself through a Taco Bell drive-thru window when restaurant employees left a Chalupa out of his order, Lawrence police said.
Gilroy said he planned to file a motion by Feb. 7 to dismiss the open container charge.
Judge Paula Martin also ordered
Rayford to appear at a status conference at 11:45 a.m. March 2. Any changes in the case will be discussed at that conference.
Police issue citations for underage drinking
Lawrence police issued citations last night to five underage KU students caught consuming alcohol at The Wheel Cafe. 507 W, 14th St.
Sgt. George Wheeler said police discovered the students during a routine bar check.
Police issued notices to the offenders, ranging from 18 to 20 years old, to appear in municipal court. They all were cited for minors in possession, and four were cited for presenting false driver's licenses.
Wheeler said the bar could face penalties from Alcoholic Beverage Control, which grants liquor licenses to area bars.
"They can restrict or revoke the bar's license or fine them or close them for a period of time," he said.
Police said they issued citations to three underage Lawrence residents that night at Charlie's Eastside Bar & Grill, 900 Pennsylvania St., and arrested a 20-year-old female for operating a vehicle under the influence.
Police also issued citations to two employees of the Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., for serving alcohol after hours. Wheeler said officers observed a 25-year-old male and a 27-year-old male drinking inside after a 2 a.m. Both received tickets.

WASHINGTON — Gary Bauer, the janitor's son who served in Ronald Reagan's White House and mounted a presidential bid of his own, has decided to drop out of the race, a source close to the conservative activist said yesterday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Bauer planned to announce the move at a news conference this morning.
GOP's Bauer to withdraw from race, activist says
Bauer is a well-established social conservative who fared well in presidential debates, needing front-runner George W. Bush on abortion and China policy. He also had some success raising money, primarily through a large network of small donors built during his work as a conservative activist in Washington.
Bauer has struggled even to make a dent in national polls and finished in fourth place in the Iowa caucuses, ahead of only Sen. Ornish Ratch of Utah, who has since dropped out of the race, and Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who did not campaign in Iowa at all.

Insulin pill may replace shots, researchers say
However, Bauer had trouble carving out a constituency in a crowded field of Republican Party conservatives.
WASHINGTON — A technique that allows insulin hormone to be stored in cells and then released as needed by a pill eventually may offer a treatment for diabetes that does not require daily injections, researchers say.
He could not climb above 1 percent in the critical New Hampshire primary. With his wife, Carol, at his side, he conceded that contest Tuesday night.
The experiments, thus far, have been performed only on mice, but researchers say a system using an implanted insulin gene may be ready for human testing within two years.
In a study to be published today in the journal Science, researchers at Ariad Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge, Mass., and at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York said the cell engineering technique was able to control diabetes in a group of laboratory mice and now is being tested on larger animals.
Tim Clackson, senior author of the study, said that the technique caused insulin, or some other protein, to clump inside a cell with another protein, forming a molecule that was too large to leave the cell. A drug, given as a pill, breaks up the clump, allowing the insulin to flow into the bloodstream in a way that mimics the spurt of hormone normally secreted by the pancreas.
Scientists link El Niño with childhood diarrhea
LONDON — After linking El Niño with illnesses such as malaria, cholera and dengue fever, scientists now have connected the climatic phenomenon with an increase in childhood diarrhea.
The research led by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health also suggests for the first time that gradual temperature increases related to global warming could foster outbreaks of diarrhea in children living in developing nations.
Diarrhea kills as many as 3 million children under the age of 5 worldwide every year and sickens millions more, mostly in developing countries.
It normally is more prevalent during the warmer seasons but, until now, experts didn't know whether a change in temperature could play a role.
The study of 57,331 children in Lima, Peru, found that an increase in diarrhea cases between 1993 and 1997 was linked to even small rises in temperature, regardless of whether it was summer or winter. In fact, the effect was greater in winter, even though the weather was cooler.
The Associated Press
Football players, fraternities cited in federal investigation
"Our understanding at this point, and our regarding of the federal district court detention order, is that the allegations came from unsubstantiated sources, at least one of whom is under criminal indictment." Oliver said.
Continued from page 1A
Bill Nelson, director of greek programs at the University, said he had not heard anything about the allegations until television reporters called him for comment Wednesday.
Nelson said he was most concerned with the vague way in which "fraternities" was used in the statement.
"What I think is critical here is to understand the context in which fraternity has been used in the allegation," Nelson said. "Are we talking about the behavior of individual men, or are we talking about corporate fraternity behavior?"
Nelson said both situations would be problematic, but especially drug involvement by an entire chapter. However, he said it was more likely that individual members would be involved
with drugs. He said exact numbers were difficult to gauge, but the situation had come up before.
"I know first-hand that individual fraternite; this year have terminated men's membership because of indications that they have beer engaged in either possession or use of illega drugs." Nelson said. "I know it happens. I know i happened this year."
Student athletes receive random drug tests by both the Big 12 Conference and the NCAA throughout the year. In addition to those stan dards, the University conducts testing and drug education of its own for student athletes.
"We screen our athletes at a level of zero tolerance," said Amy Perko, associate director for athletics. "If there is any trace of any banned sub stance and the level doesn't rise to what is con sidered positive on the drug test, the student athlete is placed under reasonable suspicion."
While test results remain confidential, Perkid said that 402 specimens in the form of urin tests were submitted in 1998 and 1999 as part o the testing.

Group takes STAND against hatred
Phelps, followers protest organization's meeting

A new campus organization hopes to use messages of hate — such as the anti-gay protests waged by Topeka minister Fred Phelps — as catalysts for teaching tolerance.
as catalysts for teaching tolerance.
About 30 students gathered last night at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., to show their support for STAND — Standing Together Against Negative Displays. Corrinne Hickman, Wichita senior and the group's founder, said her vision for STAND was to create an opportunity for students to come together as a community to productively and courageously express their opposition to displays of hatred on campus.
Hickman emphasized, though, that she didn't want the group to focus solely on Phelps, a man whose anti-homosexual displays have earned him nationwide attention.
"This group is not about Fred Phelps," she said. "It's about displays of hatred. He just happens to be our best example right now." Phelps and several of his followers protested STAND's meeting last night.
Hickman said she had been inspired to start the group when she saw the public's reaction to Phelps' protest of Archbishop Desmond Tutu's lecture at Allen Fieldhouse last spring.
"People were yelling," she said. "People were honking. People were flipping him off. And he was feeding off of it."
She said that as she walked into the building, all she heard were people talking about Phelps. They had forgotten they were there to hear an amazing speaker, she said.
"He infiltrates our lives," she said. "He infiltrates our community. We really need
to find a way to combat that productively."
to find a way to combat that productively." Group members agreed that a good way to draw attention to the organization would be to show up at an event that Phelps was protesting and create a positive presence by displaying a positive message and distributing literature about toleration.
Hickman said they were looking at the annual brown bag lunch and drag show sponsored by Queers and Allies, planned for Pride Week in mid-April, as an opportunity for a kickoff event. Phelps and his followers traditionally have picketed the show.
"Having a big event like this gives us this huge momentum that we can then ride into next semester," she said.
Hickman said the group also would like to organize a Week against Hatred next fall.
organize a Week Against Hatred next tam.
Lisa Rasor, Lawrence graduate student,
said the group needed to be careful about
drawing more attention to Phelps' cause.
"If you're there at the same time he is, you're giving him attention," she said. "We need to think about challenging the media not to take so many pictures of him when he comes to campus."
Elders praises audience for attending college
Continued from page 1A
Elders said more African Americans needed to go to college. She said AfricanAmerican children in poor neighborhoods needed early education programs to get ahead and to learn that there was more to life than violence and drug dealing.
"You can't be what you can't see." Elders said.
Near the end of her speech, Elders told members of the crowd to be leaders.
"As new leaders of the 21st century, be a leader who leads — not a leader who goes out and takes a poll and jumps the way the wind is blowing," she said.
"Women, African Americans, any student," she said. "It gives us encouragement."
Alton Scales, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said it was special to have the chance to hear Elders speak.

"She went someplace none of us have gone before," Scales said. "That's the kind of leadership that is missing across the board."

The forgotten chancellor: Just call me Larry
Larry Chalmers deserves recognition for his service to the University
How many of the names on campus buildings mean anything to you? Most buildings are named after important people in University's history, many of them former
That injustice needs to be addressed.
chancellors. In fact, with the exception of interim Chancellor Del Shankel and current Chancellor Robert Hemenway, each of the University's leaders has a building named for him — except E. Laurence Chalmers.
That injustice needs to be addressed. Chalmers came here in 1969 as a young, somewhat idealistic chancellor intent on making sure KU students came first. He immediately tried to do away with much of the formality of the office and implored students to "Just call me Larry." Although he promised to be stern with student anti-war protests, he also said that he sympathized with their situation.
Almost immediately, however, Chalmers came under fire from state lawmakers for refusing to release the names of students who had disrupted an ROTC review the previous spring. He told the legislators that the matter was being handled by the internal University judicial system and that their involvement was unnecessary. In his first month as chancellor, Chalmers made his first enemies in Topeka.
In the spring of 1970, just eight months into his tenure, Chalmers faced the worst violence and civil unrest Lawrence had seen since the Civil War. In early April, several African-American students were arrested at Lawrence High School. With support from the University's Black Student Union, African-American students took over the high school office, demanding a new Black studies department. Their demands failed, and tensions began to simmer around Lawrence, including at the University.
Several nights of violence involving both Lawrence High and KU students ensued, and on April 20, 1970, the Kansas Union was bombed. The next day, Gov. Bob Docking suspended the sale of guns and liquor, declared a 9 p.m. curfew and sent highway patrolmen to Hundreds. Hundreds were arrested during the following days, mostly for curfew violations. In response, students presented
Chalmers with a petition containing thousands of signatures, imploring him to end the curfew, although he had no power to do so.
Instead, Chalmers publicly asked the governor to end the curfew, calling it "inimical to the purposes of a distinguished university." When media around the state reported the statement, headlines all around Kansas screamed,
SUNNY YOUNG
Seth Hoffman opinion editor opinion@kansan.com
No other chancellor before or since has had such a trial by fire.
"Chancellor protests curfew," cementing Chalmer's reputation as a radical sympathizer.
Just two weeks after the Union burned, President Richard Nixon announced that the United States was invading Cambodia, clearly escalating the Vietnam War. Protest-weary students didn't
hold major demonstrations at the University, but thousands of other students at hundreds of other universities responded with major civil discord. When four Kent State University students were shot and killed by national guardsmen, though, the KU community once again sprang to life.
Whereas African Americans had fronted most of the previous month's unrest, a new more diverse group of students, faculty and drifers joined in the rising chorus of civil discord. The day after the shootings, a large group of protesters gathered at the burned-out Union and marched with four symbolic coffins to the National Guard Armory. That same day, Chalmers, with the support of the University Senate Executive Committee and the campus ROTC commander, decided to cancel the annual ROTC review scheduled for the next day. Although he probably averted more violence and although more than 20 military bases canceled their armed services reviews the following Saturday, Chalmers received a deluge of criticism for "appeasing the longhairs."
Many students viewed the cancellation as a
victory and rallied in front of Strong Hall that night. More than 500 attended, and the crowd grew unruly. Students were urged to march to the Military Science Building, where they began throwing stones through the windows. Chalmers faced a decision: Call in the Lawrence Police Department, the Highway Patrol or possibly even the National Guard, or hope that the rally would end peacefully. The cool-headed Chalmers chose hope, saying later that ordering armed troops would have caused serious violence
For the rest of that night.

For the rest of that Chalmers met with SenEi to decide what to do next.
The group debated for hours, trying to decide whether to shut down the University for the rest of the semester. Many college campuses already had done so, and many born thought it
was the only way to avoid further violence. Chalmers and SenEx decided to hold an all-campus convocation at Memorial Stadium to let students and faculty vote on whether to continue classes. On Friday, May 9, 15,000 people showed up and voted to keep the University open but to give students an option to leave immediately without forfeiting academic credit.
Many other letters, mostly from mothers of students and written on personal stationery, thanked Chalmers for keeping their children safe.

Needless to say, politicians in Topeka were furious at Chalmers. Later that summer, the Board of Regents voted on whether to fire Chalmers. He remained chancellor by a one-vote margin. Another vote was taken later
Today in the University Archives, there are hundreds of letters from parents and alumni that betale Chalmers for appeasing the radical students. One letter stated, "Our child has no vote to close school. We are paying her way, we vote that school continue."
that year, and again, one vote kept him from being dismissed.
Chalmers' heavy involvement with the University's student and faculty governance was also impressive. He let SenEx give counsel on the most important University issues and regularly met with them. By contrast, when I served on SenEx last year, the body was rarely consulted on any matter of importance, and it met with the chancellor only about four times.
Though he was vilified by members of the Legislature and the Regents, Chalmers was extremely popular with students. His "Just call me Larry" approach impressed students and provided them with a high-ranking official they could trust. With an overzealous sheriff and a state attorney general leading drug raids every time someone lit a match, such trust was an impressive coup.
Throughout the next year, Chalmers continually would find himself battling with Topeka lawmakers. Vern Miller, the new attorney general elected on a platform of bat-
fling the "Lawrence
longhair problem" was a thorn in Chalmers' side. As Chalmers put it, Miller used the University as his "personal whipping boy" and vowed to defend students from him at all times.
In 1972, Chalmers' wife was granted an emergency divorce. Knowing that the divorce would be the final straw for the Regents, Chalmers chose to resign rather than fight for his job again. During his brief tenure at the University, many blows were leveled at Chalmers' leadership capabilities, but ambitious politicians who really brought him down.
As a result, there is no Chalmers Hall anywhere on campus. There was no man who could have done more to keep the University together. The University should keep this in mind the next time building is approved. Chalmers was simply a victim of his times; something should be done to right this wrong.

Proposed hike in parking meter prices may burn holes in students' pockets
This week the parking board announced a proposal to stop overselling permits for Jayhawker Towers, Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Halls, and Alumni Place parking lots. The department is finally taking a step in the right direction to lessen parking congestion.
But while the board is giving students some good news, it is also proposing a longer-term meter price increase that hurts students' wallets. The board plans to increase long-term meter prices from 50 cents to $1 per hour in an effort to raise revenue for the new parking garage under construction next to the Kansas Union. This change would affect all long-term meters, including the 500 meters planned for the garage.
While the department claims this would actually benefit students because meters near the Kansas Union and Memorial Stadium will be converted into spaces for yellow and blue permit holders, this is a thinly veiled attempt at justifying yet another increase in parking-related student costs.
Even with the additional yellow and blue spots available near the Union, many students still will be unable to find non-metered parking and will have to settle for a metered spot in the new garage.
Students footing too much of bill for new Union parking garage
For a student who is on campus most of the day, that can mean at least $5 or $6 per day.
The parking department maintains that new revenue must be raised to support the garage. Although students should foot part of the bill, it is disappointing that the department seems to return continually the brunt of the financial burden to them.
It's true that the parking department operates on revenues alone, which it gains from user fees such as fines, meters, permits, parking at events and garage tolls. It doesn't receive state funding or money from tuition. However, it is unfair to force students to dish out so much money so that they can transport themselves to campus every day. Perhaps the University should examine sharing some parking-related costs, such as lighting and maintenance, with the department so that students do not continually feel the squeeze of budget constraints.
ing a new garage, more spaces benefit the parking department because there will be not only new permit and meter revenues, but also more opportunities for fines, which means more income. Even more frustrating is that the parking department now can do almost whatever it wants. The parking department and board only have to answer to Rodger Oroke, director of general services in the chancellor's office. A department like parking, which has such a direct impact on students, should be held more accountable than it is.
The proposed meter hike is not the first increase for students justified by the department as necessary to finance the new garage. In 1997, parking permit prices were raised: Blue permits increased from $85 to $110, red permits increased from $75 to $95, yellow permits increased from $53 to $75 and student housing lot permits increased from $50 to $75.
Now the department is hitting students again with another plan to cough up more money. How long will students be forced to pay? With the lack of accountability, who knows how many more revenue-raising ideas the board will develop that will put a crunch on student pocketbooks?

Feedback Transitional fossils located in museum
Drew Ryun's column is a shopping list of political positions, backed by one-liners. Space permits dealing with only one of his distortions. I pick, "Can anyone tell you where the transitional fossils of the vaunted fossil record are?"
Why not? They have two more gaps to crow about — between A and B and between B and C! Since life forms are classified into species, every new find is an opportunity to point out new "gaps." His call to discuss science, not ideology, is hypocritical at best.
Most of them are in the ground, but you might try the Natural History Museum in Dyche Hall. More important is to know how his creation "science" teachers have dealt with this: When a new form is found between A and C, they don't acknowledge the filling of one of the transitions in the record.

Kansas Citizens for Science
Theory based on looking at facts
I thought I should take the time to respond to the eloquent but flawed arguments made by Drew Ryun. My argument is twofold, written as a student of science and a concerned citizen.
Ryun states that "there is no hard, empirical evidence for the theory of evolution." Unfortunately Mr. Ryun uses this phrase in a persuasive way, much like the Kansas State Board of Education, without fully comprehending the definition of theory. In a scientific context, Webster's Dictionary lists a theory as a plausible or scientifically acceptable principle offered to explain observed facts. (I stress "facts.") I think the real losers in Mr. Ryun's list should be the children affected by the backlash of the
Finally, I was shocked at the somewhat fascist comments made about the legal argument of whether students should have to pay campus fees for organizations that they don't approve of. According to Ryun's depiction of the situation, he would like to see "which campus groups deserve to survive and which ones don't." Our Constitution was set to defend those that had little or no voice. Who is to say that groups that have vastly different views to your own don't have the right to receive funding. The University environment is one of diversity and exploration, don't let those who wish to find new forms of expression through a student organization lose their freedom of choice.
KSBOE decision. Did you hear a Southern state actually rounded the number pi from 3.14159 to ?? Whether you subscribe to evolution fully or not, some things (like pi and evolution) cannot be disputed.

Cafe won't retain Jaybowl traffic
My attendance at Tuesday night's open forum regarding the potential elimination of the Kansas Union's Jaybowl made me realize that the proposal for the cybercafe/computer center that would replace it is based on questionable rationale.
Union Director David Mucci claims that the plans are based on student desires for a lounge, coffeehouse, and computer facilities in the Union on a 24-hour basis and on reported traffic numbers of 170,000 people per year at the existing Academic Computing Center — traffic he hopes to attract to this new facility.
Both of these assumptions are flawed. The new facilities that he proposes are duplications of already under-utilized facilities elsewhere in the Union, such as lounges
and stage areas. There is no evidence that additional spaces of these types would result in increased traffic.
One of the unmentioned issues at stake in this controversy is the lack of traffic in the Union as a whole in the evening hours. Many evenings, the only area with any measurable activity at all is in fact the Jaybowl. The proposal to eliminate it in favor of more facilities of a kind that already exist, most at underused levels, with the expectation that traffic will suddenly increase five fold, is both untenable and unsound.
Groundhog Day
Mucci cites the fact that 170,000 people per year patronize the 24-hour Academic Computing Center and compares this to the 35,000 people per year patronizing the Jaybowl. It is hard to believe that this traffic is going to magically transfer to the proposed cybercafe/computer center. Yet this expected traffic increase — from 35,000 to 170,000 people per year — is the lincpin of Mucci's proposal to eliminate the Jaybowl. These results are far from guaranteed.
Chris Meissner Lawrence graduate student in theater and film
I would like to correct a few items that appeared in the Feb. 2 Kansan. First, when the groundhog sees its shadow, it predicts six weeks of winter not six months. The groundhog is the only species of marmot that lives in the eastern United States and the only species found in the Lawrence area. Lastly, the groundhog is not blind but has very keen eyesight that is critical for detecting potential predators, such as foxes. And Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow on Groundhog Day, thus predicting six more weeks of winter weather. Phil's prediction is correct about half the time.

Regents request scholarship funds
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
TOPEKA — The Board of Regents told the Legislature yesterday it wanted an additional $1 million for scholarships and grants.
Kim Wilcox, executive director for the Regents, said that the board didn't want to seem greedy and that it was grateful for what it had been given in such a tight budget year. However, more financial aid was needed partly because of the increase in tuition costs for Regents institutions, Wilcox said.
The money would add to the
Comprehensive Grant Program and the State Scholarship Program. The CGP helps students with financial need, as demonstrated in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, while the SSP has an emphasis on academics, Wilcox said.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, attended the briefing and said that he thought the $1 million request was not enough.
"The Board of Regents requested $1 million, and the Governor didn't meet that request in his budget," he said. "But I think after the tuition increase, we need more than that so our poorest students can afford to go to school."
Maxwell said that he thought

the Legislature was aware of the students' displeasure with the tuition increases, too.
"I think that the students' pain is resonating in the Legislature," he said. "The Legislature feels what we want, and I think they
want to help."
State Rep. Ralph Tanner, R-Baldwin, said that he had received questions and concerns from students in the Regents system about tuition increases and that he had asked Wilcox if the request for more financial aid was an attempt to offset the increases.
Wilcox said that the request for more funds was because of raised tuition, but to a point. The tuition increase also reflected a long-term, under-funding of the Regents, he said.
Maxwell said he doubted any of the tuition increases would be repealed by the board if the Regents' $1 million request was denied.
Anschutz Library leaks to be repaired soon
By Jim O'Malley writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Students doing research in Anschutz Library may not need umbrellas, but a leaky roof has plagued the building for about 10 years. Officials say repairs should start soon, but extensive repairs will have to wait.
"It's on the list, but not on the short list," said Larry Rawlins, assistant director of Facilities Operations. "We're going to Band-Aid it."
Water damage is visible on the third floor where the south wall joins the ceiling. Brown stains mark the white plaster, and discolored fabric hangs down as if it has been peeled away from the wall.
On the fourth floor, plastic tarps hang over shelves that hold new scientific journals. A large irregular brown water mark stains the ceiling above the tarps.
The leaks began shortly after the library opened in 1989, said Judith Emde, science librarian.
Long-range plans include
replacement of the flat section of the roof, said James Modig, director of Design and construction management. He said that although the University still had money from Kansas' Crumbling Classrooms program, many other buildings were competing for the funds.
Mel DeSart, coordinator for science and engineering resources and services, has worked in Anschutz for a year and a half. He said he had seen water dripping in the library and that library staff has had to deploy trash cans to catch the drins.
DeSart said that once or twice after rainstorms, he climbed on a barrel and pushed up on the plastic tarps, draining off a couple of gallons of water in the process.
But DeSart said he was not aware of any serious water damage to books and journals in Anschutz.

"That may be because of the rather ugly measures we have taken to prevent damage." he said.
Rawlings said water leaked in
The roof of Anschutz Library leaks water, and journals must be covered with plastic tarps to keep them dry. Minor repairs will begin soon, although extensive work will have to wait. Photo by Carolyn Mollett/KANSAN around the edges of the roof through seams in built-in gutters. Problems also existed in the flashing, the sheet metal
used to weatherproof the joints of the roof, he said.
The flat center portion of the roof needs repair, too. DeSart said that after Facilities Operations had the roof evaluated, library officials were told that the plastic liner under the center of the roof was rotten.
Mark Reiske, production manager for Design and Construction Management, said the projected cost for repairing the gutters and flat section of the roof was $89,000. That estimate did not include the cost of repairing the damage inside the library. Reiske said it was difficult to estimate the cost until workers could see the extent of the damage.
Although the leaks have not damaged Anschutz's books, the potential risk is serious. DeSart said it was expensive to freezefry books and that dampness bred mildew, which is hard to eliminate once starts growing.
"The last thing a library wants to see is water," he said. "It's even worse than fire."

Student vocalist to star in opera
By BriAnne Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
When Krista Blackwood, Lawrence graduate student, auditioned for the opera Little Women in Kansas City last summer, director Linda Adi Brand knew her search for the lead was finished.
Brand said she and conductor Reuben Reynolds III of the Civic Opera Theater of Kansas City weren't even sure they could cast the opera, let alone find the perfect person to play the lead character, Jo.
"She is such a talent," Brand said. "She can act the pants off of it and sing beautifully."
Mark Adamo's Little Women shows at 8 tonight and Saturday at the Folly Theater, 300 West 12th St., Kansas City, Mo.
This is the second showing of the opera anywhere, so Blackwood is only the second person to ever play the part of Jo.
Blackwood said the opera was a skeletal adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel, *Little Women*. The novel and the opera revolve around Jo's relationship with her three sisters and her conflict with change as they fall in love, marry and deal with one sister's death.
"She doesn't want her sorority of sisters to break up, but as the play progresses she realizes that change is OK," Blackwood said.
To prepare for her role, Blackwood reread the novel this summer. She said the opera was a psychological study of the character of Jo.

productions, including operas. However, her role as Jo is is the biggest she has played.
Director
"It's a tour de force dramatically and vocally," Blackwood said. "I've enjoyed the challenge of getting her character under my belt."
Blackwood had never seen an opera until she performed in one, she said. However, she said she was not afraid of the challenge from the moment she became involved in the opera.
Blackwood also will perform in *The Rape of Lucretia*, a University Opera production, this spring Admission to Little Women is specially priced at $2 for students.
Richard Green, president of the board of directors of the Civic Opera of Kansas City, said he hoped the specially priced tickets would encourage students to attend.
"It would be great to have a rush of students," Green said. "I've been to the rehearsals, and it's a grabber."
Brand said that the opera's combination of music, plot and performances made a moving production.
"It's remarkable to find a new work that is so accessible but isn't trite," Brand said. "It's luscious — a bring-your-Kleenex kind of opera."

City bus contract causes legal conflicts
By John Audlehelm
Kansas staff writer
writer@kansan.com
After being denied the city of Lawrence's bus manufacturing contract, a transit company is suing the corporation that won.
Laidlaw Transit Services, based in Overland Park, complained to the Federal Transit Administration that MV Transportation Inc., based in Fairfield, Calif., should not have been awarded the contract because of a conflict of interest in the selection process. Laidlaw sued MV Transportation.
Antoine said MV's proposal to the city conspicuously forgot to mention this.
Bob Antoine, vice president of human resources for Laidlaw, said one of the city's consultants, Steve Klika of KA Associates in Wichita, had a conflict of interest because his brother, Kevin Klika, worked for MV Transportation.
"We don't believe this omission was accidental," he said.
John Biard, general counsel for
MV, said Steve Klika disclosed the information to the city in mid-October, when it became known that MV would make a bid for the city's bus system.
At the time, he said, Kevin Klika worked for Laidlaw and told his brother he was switching to MV the same day Steve Klika disclosed the information.
"Steve Klika had no participation in who was selected," Biard said.
Steve Klika said he then removed himself from the selection process, which was handled locally.
"I refuse to have any part in any conflict," he said.
Steve Klika said he felt caught in the middle of a battle between two private companies.
He said he also asked MV that Kevin not participate in any part of the contract to further avoid the conflict.
City manager Mike Wildgen said Steve Klika did not have an influence on the city's decision to award the contract to MV.
Wildgen said that Laidlaw
protested to the city in December and that the city denied the protest in January.
"I call it corporate crossfire," Wilden said. "We're just trying to stay out of the way."
Antoine said Laidlaw also sued MV because another of the company's former employees, Michael Sweeten, went behind Laidlaw's back and interviewed with MV and Lawrence for the job of project manager.
Biard said Sweeten was working with Laidlaw at the time, and MV said that if the company received the contract, it would hire him as project manager.
"He was a given a conditional offer of employment," he said.
Biard said such competitive bids for competent managers happened all the time in the industry.
Steve Klika said he was one such manager.
"I used to work for Laidlaw," he said. "People jump companies left and right."
A third point of contention in the lawsuit is Sweeten's resume.
Antoine said.
He said the resume said he had been a manager at the University of Texas' bus system, but Laidlaw's records showed he had been a dispatcher.
Biard said this was because of companies' different names for similar positions. Sweeten had been a manager at the bus system, he said.
Biard said Laidlaw recently had experienced a loss of managers and an extreme loss of business and was disappointed that the Lawrence bus contract went to an out-of-state competitor.
A similar complaint was raised by Chance Coach Inc., a Wichita manufacturer that was denied the contract to build the buses. Wildgen also denied that complaint, and Chance protested to the FTA.
"Laidlaw was sorry to lose this," he said. "They taught Lawrence, Kansas, belonged to them."
"It doesn't mean what's best for Chance or what's best for Laidlaw," he said. "It's what's best for the city."

Unions work for new GTA health care plan
By Mike Hoffman
Kansan staff writer
Field representatives from the Kansas Association of Public Employees have paired up with members of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition to rally support as GTAC prepares to battle the University of Kansas for a new health care plan.
Members of both unions are roaming around graduate teaching assistants' offices in Wescoe Hall this week to drum up support.
"Our goal is to increase membership so we can gain strength for the upcoming negotiations," said Brian Farnell, field representative from KAPE. "It's been slow and steady work."
The contract between graduate teaching assistants and the University expires in one year.
One part of the health plan that GTAC will try to change is that currently, only graduate teaching assistants with a half-time appointment or more get health coverage. Teaching assistants with a half-time appointment spend at least 20 hours in the classroom or their offices.
Another important issue is the status of health care for emergency teaching assistants — graduate students who are studying in one department but are teaching classes in another, said Greg Douros, St. Louis graduate student and GTAC member. Because emergency teaching assistants sign only single-semester contracts, they are ineligible to receive health benefits, he said. To receive benefits GTAs must sign a two-semester contract.
Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost, said there were several reasons that the University's health plan didn't serve all GTAs.
Johnson said one-term contracts for emergency teaching assistants were necessary because of fluctuations in demand for GTAs. It would be unfair to promise all GTAs two semesters of work when they may be needed for only one, she said.
As for the requirement that GTAs work at least half-time to receive benefits, Johnson said that it was the decision of the Kansas State Health Care Commission and that the University had to follow its regulations.
Johnson said the University would attempt to work with the commission to make the situation better.
Greenspan gets fourth term as Federal Reserve chairman
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Hailed as the greatest central banker in the history of the world,
whelmingly won confirmation yesterday for a fourth term as chairman of the Federal Reserve.
The Senate voted 89-4 to approve President Clinton's nomination of the Republican Greenspan, 73, for a four-year term that will run until June 2004.
His confirmation came one day after the Federal Reserve voted to boost a key interest rate for a sixth time since June
2018

Greenspan: Called the greatest central banker in history
in an effort to slow down the U.S. economy and keep inflation in check.
Clinton's decision to nominate Greenspan again was widely expected. It was unlikely a
Democratic president could have gotten anyone else confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate so close to the end of the presidential term.
After the Senate vote, Clinton said in a statement that Greenspan's leadership had inspired confidence in America and around the world.
Greenspan's Senate supporters also cited the current 107-month economic expansion, which this week became the longest in U.S. history, as evidence Greenspan's tenure has been successful.
"I believe a strong case can be made that Alan Greenspan is the greatest central banker in the history of the world," said Senate Banking Committee Chairman Phil Gramm, R-Texas, citing economic statistics from the low unemployment rate to the soaring stock market.
The small group of liberal Democratic senators who opposed Greenspan's nomination complained about the Fed rate increase, which they said was evidence Greenspan had been overly worried about inflation at the expense of average Americans.
Northern Ireland could lose power
The Associated Press
LONDON — Britain will strip power from Northern Ireland's fledgling Protestant Catholic administration within days unless the Irish Republican Army promises to disarm, the government announced yesterday.
derailing Northern Ireland's peace process.
Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Mandelson said he would introduce legislation today transferring power back to London from Belfast. But the process would take several days and could be stopped if developments warranted, he emphasized.
Mandelson's statement was delivered to the House of Commons in London and watched closely by politicians in Belfast and Dublin. It was designed to buy a little more time for those struggling day and night to defuse the crisis that is on the verge of
As Parliament heard the announcement, Irish prime minister Bertie Ahern left Dublin for southern England to discuss the peace process with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
"We cannot partially implement the Good Friday agreement," Mandelson said. "It is all or it is nothing."
The crisis threatens the new four-party coalition Cabinet that has given Northern Ireland a measure of local rule after years of direct rule by Britain.
The Ulster Unionists agreed in November to accept the IRA-linked Sinn Fein party as colleagues in the Cabinet established as part of 1998's Good Friday peace accord — but only on condition that IRA disarmament would follow.

Once more, with screaming
Director Was Craven makes his third horror-satire flick. Courtney Cox-Axarette and David Arquette star alongside Neve Campbell in Scream 3. Contributed art.
Craven delivers mediocre finale to Scream trilogy
By Todd Halstead
Kansan movie critic
I would venture to say that director Wes Craven's last movie, Music of the Heart, the story of a teacher who brings hope to inner-city schoolchildren, was scarier than Scream 3. This may result from the fact that Miramax wunderkind Kevin Williamson didn't write the script, as he did for the first two movies.
Scream 3 occurs during the filming of the fictitious Stab 3, the third film about poor Sidney Prescott's life. Meanwhile, Sidney (Neve Campbell) is doing her best to avoid civilization by hiding out in Northern California, but she comes out of the woods when people start getting disemboweled on the movie set. In fact, the killings bring back all of the walking dead from the previous two movies, including roving reporter Gale Weathers (Courtreney Cox Arquette) and Dewey Riley (David Arquette), who is now a technical adviser on the movie set. While investigating the machete mayhem, the three encounter their cinematic counterparts.
The film's highlight is Parker Posey (House of Yes), who plays method-actress Jennifer Jolie. As Jolie, Parker delivers a dead-on, if satirical, impression of Cox as Stab 3's caricature of Gale Weathers.
The low point of the movie is Cox's haircut. With her hair shorn in the front and

her apathetic acting, she more closely resembles a post-operative lobotomy patient than a reporter.
Cameos litter the movie, ranging from Heather Matarazzo (Welcome to the Doll House) as a sister to one of the victims in a previous movie, to a less-than-humorous appearance by Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith as Jay and Silent Bob.
Jenny McCarthy, meanwhile, gives a decent performance as an aging starlet who is frustrated with her role.
Like the other movies, Scream 3 peaks at the beginning, which provides the most suspenseful action and induces the most fear in the audience. This film, however, resembles Scream 2 when the suspense suffers a lull in the middle. But like the first installment in the trilogy, it regains its edge with a marathon action sequence at the end, which reveals rousing revelations that rival those of another trilogy Star Wars.
Fans of the previous two Scream movies no doubt will enjoy this movie, while others will find it entertaining but nothing special. In any case, everyone should rewatch the first two films because this is a continuation with references from its predecessors.

Q&A: Jenny McCarthy
G: How does it feel to be a part of a trilogy with such a cult following?
A: It's totally cool. I remember when the first Scream came out; I wondered, "Why the hell wasn't in that?!" It's for sure that this is the last one, so I'm glad I caught it before it was finished. It'll be the best... Everything was so confidential that no actor had a copy of the full script. I honestly don't know yet what the movie is about, but I guess I'll find out when it opens. That makes it even more fun.
Q: The first two Scream installations certainly had their moments of terror, but they had quite a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor, too. Does this remain true with No. 3?
A: Heck yeah. It definitely does have a cheekiness to it, which is why I loved the role. I know my particular character and my scenes have a cheekiness to them and a lot of scary stuff, too. I like that.
G: What was it like to work with Wes Craven?
A: Wes blew my mind, as far as what I thought before I came to the set and what I think now. He was the sweetest, the shyest man I've ever met. He was by far my favorite to work with.

EYE
OF THE
BEHOLDER
Weird Beholder disappointing
By Brian Bartelt
If I were a film professor, I'd make my students watch this movie. But, as a film reviewer, I advise you to stay away.
Eye of the Beholder centers on a detective (Ewan McGregor), known only as The Eye. His specialty is high-tech surveillance. While on an assignment, he photographs a woman (Joanna, played by Ashley Judd), with whom he becomes intensely obsessed.
Kansan movie critic
Stephan Elliott directed Eye of the Beholder, and also directed the 1994 film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. But you couldn't tell by comparing the two movies. While Priscilla is bright and garish, Beholder is very subdued and subtle. The only thing that connects the two films is their weirdness.
This film is difficult to pin down — it is a love story, but the lovers are rarely seen together. It is also a psychological drama — both of the main characters are deeply disturbed individuals. And, it's an exercise in surrealistic art — 21st century technology blends seamlessly with 1940s images.
He begins to sacrifice everything — his life, his job,

The film's acting is solid. Both McGregor and Judd give outstanding performances in difficult roles. It was certainly a weighty task to give these strange
characters legitimacy.
Jason Priestly fits the bill in his bit role as a sleaze k.d. lang also appears but doesn't detract from the film, even if her acting efforts are too overdone.

Visually, this film is attractive and cool. Every transition and effect is tasteful and interesting. The surrealism of the sets and costumes and the overall atmosphere work well.
So if you combine good acting, fabulous film work and an engaging story, you've got a great movie... right? You sure do—for about fifty minutes. Halfway through the film, I was desperately trying to figure out how I was going to write about the movie's greatness.
But by the end of the film, I just wanted to go home. Everything that's great about the beginning of this movie fades long before the end.
It doesn't climax; it gets tired — which is why film students should see this movie. It's a great example of both what to do and what not to do, how to start a great movie and then kill it.
But for people just looking for some good cinema, this film ends up dead.

The song-based soundtrack from the football drama Any Given Sunday contains a lot of rap and hard metal heavy-hitters that come close to matching the macho bravado of the film itself. Even though some artists such as Moby and Paul Kelly III were included in the film but not on the album, the soundtrack is well packaged, showcasing a lot of talent. Established rap artists such as Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot, LL Cool J and DMX make strong cases musically for why this album should not have included the hard-rocking artists that it did. This brings us to the lack of talent shown by P.O.D., Kid Rock, Godsmack and Overseer. Granted, their songs do deal with the issues of the movie (i.e. survival of the fittest, doing what it takes to win, wearing tight pants and running into people), but the songs are simply too annoying. The vocals all prove to be rancid, and instrumentation is overproduced to make up for their lack of knowing exactly how to play their instruments. It is definitely the first half of the Any Given Sunday soundtrack that wins the game.

Mighty Mo Rodgers
Blues is My Wailin' Wall
buy it
On his debut album, *Blues is My Wailin' Wall*, Mighty Mo Rodgers puts a modern, soulful spin on traditional blues progressions. The East Chicago, Ind. native has a versatile style, allowing him to touch upon both serious and light-hearted issues. You won't find too many lusty, high-powered guitar solos on this album, but what you will find is that Rodgers reveals a very eloquent side with his lyrics. "Took Away the Drum" lets that side shine through. The kalimba, an African instrument, and an array of percussions accompany Mighty Mo's vocals as he ponders the relationship between the blues and the heritage of slavery. In "Tuskegee Blues," Rodgers is accompanied by a slide guitar as he sings about the terrifying experiments performed on African-American men in Tuskegee, Ala. Alongside these very blue tunes are songs that have a gospel or soul side to them such as "(Bring Back) Sweet Soul Music," in which he asks: "Do you remember not too long ago/ Sweet soul music on the radio?" This blues man also has a great sense of humor, which really helps to diversify the album. With his style — which he refers to as "nu bleuz" — Rodgers reminds us that music genres such as soul, gospel and the blues are not mutually exclusive. Instead, they feed off of each other and blend to make music that just feels good.

Kansas road woes continue
Iowa hits its mark in 77-69 victory

IOWA CITY, Iowa — The Hawkeyes taped a bull's eye on the backs of the Jayhawks last night.

we're dreams."
Drew have keep
Iowa then kept hitting its mark in a 77-69 victory against No. 15 Kansas, becoming the latest team to defeat against the stumbling Jayhawks. Kansas (16-5) dropped to its third game in four tries.
"We're in a tough stretch right now, but we can't hang our heads," said Kansas forward Nick Collison, who scored a game-high 21 points on seven-for-15 shooting. "We've just got to play better in every phase of the game."
The Jayhawks weren't clicking on very many phases last night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, and that meant lights out for Kansas. The Jayhawks blew an eight-point first-half lead, let Iowa heat up from the perimeter in the second half, and couldn't find the basket enough while shooting only 42 percent for the game.
"If you shoot 42 percent on the road, most of the time you're going to lose," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "We were forcing some turnovers but we weren't getting anything out of it."
The Jayhawks were getting at least something out of Iowa's mistakes in the first half. Kansas led 29-25 at halftime while capitalizing on 15 Iowa turnovers, yet the Jayhawks weren't able to put the Hawkeyes away.
That posed a problem when the Hawkeyes started to limit their mistakes in the second half. Iowa committed only two turnovers the entire second period and hit seven-of-12 shots from behind the arc.
After the game, the Kansas players were feeling the effects of that snowball in the locker room.
"We weren't able to stop them," Williams said. "We've got to play better on the offensive end. We and the defensive end. We didn't execute as well as we wanted down the stretch and it kind of snowballed on us."
"I told them I'm not giving up on them, and I told them that they better not feel sorry for themselves," Williams said. "We've got some games ahead of us and some opportunities ahead of us."
The Jayhawks have fumbled away their last three opportunities on the road. That
The Jayhawks will try to break that losing streak on Saturday when they return to Allen Fieldhouse to take on the Texas Red Raiders at 3 p.m.
"It'll be real nice to get back home," Collison said. "Maybe that's the game that will get us going."
Before last night's Iowa-Kansas game it was revealed that Kansas guard/forward Luke Axtell would be unable to play basketball for an indefinite period of time.
A statement by the sports information office said Axtell had tried to compete this season while being treated for a medical condition. Because his health is not improving, Axtell is going to take some time off for treatment. His condition is not life-threatening and he hopes to return to competition, the statement said.
"I am extremely disappointed for our team because Luke is such an important part of the team," said coach Roy Williams. "At the same time, I fully support Luke and his decision."

Hawkeyes boo Jayhawks' Iowa
By Matt Tait
By Mati Tan sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Kansas may be known for its two Iowa natives, but last night in front of a capacity crowd at Carver-Hawkeye Arena it was the Hawkeyes' Iowa natives who stole the show in Kansas' 77-69 loss to Iowa.
Outshining Kansas' two Iowa players — freshmen Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich — Iowa senior Jacob Jaacks, a 6-foot-8 inch center from Cedar Rapids, and sophomore Kyle Galloway, a 6-6 sophomore guard from Sioux City, paired for a balanced inside/outside attack that killed the Jayhawks.
"It was tough chasing them around those screens, and they got a couple of open looks from three," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "The ability of them to put the ball in the hoop and our inability to do it was the story of the game."
Jaacks set the tone by burying a three-
pointer at the beginning of each half, and Galloway picked up the slack thereafter. He knocked in three three-pointers, including two during a critical stretch that gave Iowa the lead late in the second half.
"It was a lot of fun," Galloway said of playing against former high school teammate Hinrich. "This was a game we both had circled on our calendars. It was a little weird seeing him in a different uniform, but it was a lot of fun to play against him and a lot more fun to get the win."
On the other hand, Galloway only hit three shots — three three-pointers — to finish with nine points overall. But no matter how it came, the win is one he will cherish for quite a while.
Jaacks finished with a team-high 16 points, six from the outside and 10 inside. He also hurt the 'Hawks on the boards, grabbing 10 rebounds, also a team high.
"It was nice to make the first one and the second, and the third too," Galloway said. "I think that's my Big Ten total right there."
What Hinrich and Collison had envisioned as being a glorious return to their home state became a nightmare. Iowa State defeated Kansas 74-66 last Saturday, and last night the sweep was completed.
Collison, who was booed even louder than Hinrich, would just as soon forget both games. Instead, he would rather look ahead to tomorrow's game at Allen Fieldhouse against Texas Tech.
"It was just another bad experience because we lost," Hinrich said. "It just really hurt."
For Hinrich, the loss to Iowa was another disappointing loss in a state that booed him for choosing Kansas.
And for the Jayhawks as a whole, Williams said there was no need to panic.
"I'll be darned if it's time to start worrying, feeling sorry for yourself and quitting." Williams said. "We're going to work our tails off tomorrow and see what happens. But it's not time to abandon ship."
The Jayhawks will set sail at 3 p.m. tomorrow against Texas Tech.

'Hawks aim to halt top Cowgirl shooter
By Chris Fickett sports@kansan.com Kansan sport...
The shooters keep aiming at Kansas' women's basketball team.
In Saturday's upset win against No. 6 Iowa State, the Cyclones' Stacy Frese came into the game shooting 48 percent from three-point range. On Wednesday night in Boulder, Colo., the Buffaloes' Jenny Roulier hit four of four three-point shots and scored 20 points in Kansas' 74-66 victory.
Another gunner will have her eyes set on the Jayhawks' defense at 2:05 p.m. Sunday, when the Oklahoma State Cowgirls face No. 25 Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Cowgirls' shooter is senior guard Jennifer Crow. Crow is averaging 20.6 points per game and shoots better than 35 percent from behind the three-point line.
"She's shooting from everywhere," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "It's not like you can lock her into one area."
Although Crow will be the third high-powered guard the Jayhawks will face in three games, there's another factor to be considered — Kansas beat the previous two.
Against Iowa State, the Jayhawks limited Frese to three-of-10 shooting and held the Cyclones to a season-low 30 percent shooting as a team. In Boulder, Kansas pressured the Buffaloos' backcourt and forced 23 turnovers.
For Kansas junior guard Jennifer Jackson, the key to defending Oklahoma State's Crow is no different than for any shooter.
"We have to get out and limit her looks at the basket," Jackson said. "The best thing to do with a good shooter is to make her put the ball on the floor and take two instead of three."
But keying on a player such as Crow creates other challenges.
"You can't afford to have another one of their players to step up and hurt you." Washington said.
For Oklahoma State, the challenge will be finding an answer for Lynn Pride, Pride, a senior forward, scored her 1,600th point in Wednesday's game and is Kansas' sixth all-time scorer. She's also No. 7 on the Javahawks' rebounding chart.
matchups because of how physical and talented they are," said Oklahoma State coach Dick Halterman. "We don't have a matchup for Lynn Pride. She can go inside on you and can take a good shot from outside of the paint."
Injuries to two starters might make it even tougher for the Cowgirls to counter Pride.
Junior forward Tari Cummings, who is averaging 17.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, suffered a partial anterior cruciate ligament tear and a lateral meniscus tear in her left knee during a Dec. 31 game against West Virginia. She underwent surgery Jan. 7 and is out for six weeks.

Fortunately for the Jayhawks, these injuries haven't posed a big problem. They currently are riding a three-game winning streak and, at 6-2 in the Big 12 Conference, are only two games behind 8-0 Oklahoma.

Track team divides to conquer foes in separate meets this weekend
Bv Sarah Warren
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and field team will be a house divided this weekend.
The team will split in two as it faces various Midwestern competitors. Today at 10:30 a.m., half of the team will compete at the Jayhawk Invitational at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. On Saturday, other team members will compete in the Northern Iowa Invitational in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
"It's usually about 60/40 who goes to Northern Iowa," said senior distance runner Kevin McGinn. "I think it's mostly
younger people and people with injuries who are staying here."
Freshman sprinter Mike Walker fits that profile. After being out with a hamstring injury for nearly a month, his first race as a Jayhawk will come this afternoon.
"I'm really just trying to get through it," Walker said. "This is really my first meet since high school."
Last week, Walker sat on the sidelines cheering his teammates to a second place finish at the Kansas/Kansas State/Missouri Invitational. That meet, the first scored meet of the season, depended on the performance the Kansas
track and field team as a whole. In contrast, this weekend's meets will focus on individual athletes rather than the team.
"I think this week the team is coming out as individuals," Walker said. "I think that you'll still see people coming out for their teammates and cheering them on, but they'll really try to do well for themselves. too."
Walker and McGinn will have plenty of competition at their respective meets. Walker will face a field of 24 colleges and two club teams at Anschutz, including local schools Johnson County Community College and Baker University. Meanwhile, McGinn will race
"Northern Iowa actually has a really good team," McGinn said. "No matter who is there, it'll be good because Northern Iowa is so good. Everybody will have someone to run with and to push them."
"We've had four really good meets where we have done well, and when the athletes
stride for stride with runners from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Marquette, Western Illinois, Wisconsin and host Northern Iowa.
With 18 individual first-place finishes in the last two meets, it's easy to assume that Kansas could do the pushing at both meets, but coach Gary Schwartz isn't claiming mid-season glory quite yet.
are doing well, it really gets them going." Schwartz said. "But we've got a long way to be where we want to be in the Big 12."
And the key to being big in the Big 12 Conference may be competition against non-conference teams like the ones the Jayhawks will see at both meets this weekend
"This is a good chance to see some teams that we don't get to see because we run against conference teams a lot," McGinn said. "It'll be a competitive effort (for everyone) this weekend, though. Everybody had a really good meet this past week, and so we're trying to improve on that."

New Orleans Saints hire Haslett as coach
NEW ORLEANS — Jim Haslett, defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was hired yesterday as coach for the New Orleans Saints.
"Jim is the best man for the job at this time for the New Orleans Saints," general manager Randy Mueller said. "I have a great relationship with Jim, and that is extremely important as we move forward to bring the Saints a winner. We will begin working toward that goal today."
Coach Mike Ditka was fired Jan. 5 after a 3-13 season that also cost team president and general manager Bill Kuharich his job.
Saints owner Tom Benson said Haslett was chosen because he was better organized. Compared to the other candidates, it was the difference between night and day. Benson said
The defensive coordinator in Pittsburgh since 1997. Haslett was the Saints' defensive coordinator in 1996 and coached the team's linebackers in 1995 during two turbulent seasons at the end of the Jim Mora era in New Orleans. While he was with the Saints, New Orleans improved from 22nd to 13th in total defense. The Steelers were 11th in total defense this season.

Shortstop Jeter doubles salary to $10 million
NEW YORK - Derek Jeter doubled his salary to $10 million yesterday while putting off a multi-year deal. Ariel Prieto, meanwhile, lost in his quest to double his salary despite not pitching in the maiors since April 1998.
"I'm paying a lot of tax now," Jeter joked after he agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Yankees. "It's kind of overwhelming, the way I've been compensated the last few years. It's not really something I sit around and think about too much."

Prieto, a 30-year-old right-hander, dropped players to 1-1 in salary arbitration when he was awarded a raise from $210,000 to $300,000 instead of his request for $500,000. The decision was made by arbitrators Stephen Goldberg, James Gross and Ted High, who heard the case Wednesday in Tampa.

*Call up God.*

Malone said
while striding
toward the parking lot.
Malone reportedly is threatening to sit out the All-Star game, citing a recurring back injury. He strained his back during training camp, then hurt it again Tuesday against Seattle.
Another consideration is a tendon on the middle finger of his shooting hand, which he reinjured last week
at Portland.
"I think the rest would do him good," Jazz trainer Mike Shimensky said.
Last week, Malone grumbled privately that he wouldn't play in Oakland unless he was named a starter in voting by fans. He wasn't; Malone and teammate John Stockton were chosen Monday by coaches as All-Star reserves.
If he doesn't show up in Oakland on Feb. 13, Malone could face a possible fine or suspension from the NBA.
Clippers dismiss coach; assistant takes reins
LOS ANGELES — Chris Ford was fired as coach of the Los Angeles Clippers yesterday, following humiliating losses to Golden State and Phoenix by a combined 77 points.
Ford was in the second year of a three-year contract with the Clippers, who are 11-34 including 16 losses in the last 18 games.
Ford, 51, was replaced by assistant Jim Todd, whose first game as intercoach is tomorrow night against Dallas.
"Chris is a good person and his efforts should be acknowledged," said Elgin Baylor, the team's vice president of basketball operations. "But it has simply reached the point where the gap between the actual results and where we think we should be — based on our talent level — is just too wide."
Todd, 47. coached the Clippers to two victories in as many games in December when Ford was unable to coach because of back spasms.
"Jim did a good job earlier this year," Baylor said. "There are no guarantees, but if he does well and the team responds, it would certainly make him a viable candidate for long-term consideration."
弓
Baylor said Todd would have the job at least through the end of the season.

Lawyer says NFL star didn't have weapon
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Pro Bowl linebacker Ray Lewis was unaware two men had been killed in a brawl when he and others left a Super Bowl party in a limousine, his lawyer said yesterday.
The Baltimore Ravens star didn't know about the stabbings until he heard news reports hours later, lawyer Ed Garland said.
"He did not have a knife, he did
not use a knife, he did not engage in a fight, he did not promote in any way a fight," Garland said.
Lewis is charged with two counts of murder in the slayings early Monday of Richard Lollar, 24, and Jacinth "Shorty" Baker, 21, outside a lounge in Atlanta's Buckhead entertainment district. He is being held until a Feb. 14 bond hearing.
Atlanta police representative John Quigley said A.J. Johnson and Kwame King were wanted for questioning, but are not necessarily suspects. Both are friends of Lewis.
Asked if Lewis knows who killed the men, Garland said: "His vision, his location, what he saw, I will go into at a future time. But he does have some limited knowledge."
So far only Lewis has been charged in the killings. Quigley said a judge signed an arrest warrant only after he determined there was sufficient probable cause that Lewis was involved in the crime.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday. You may think you know it all this year, and you may be right! Put the puzzle together in February and then design a better one. Take action on your dream in March and find what you need close to home in April. Be guided by history in May and follow your partner's inspiration in August. By next December, your transformation should be complete. Heed a wise woman in January.
Aries; Today is a 7.
You've got a lot of important social obligations. You and your team could do something that's important. If it doesn't pay the bills, however, it shouldn't take top priority. You already knew that, but sometimes you forget.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You could have a wonderful opportunity today. That's the good news. The bad news is that there is a test. It's only on the one thing you find most intimi dating. Get past that barrier, and your success is assured. If you don't, well, count it as practice.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
Study up. You're on the brink of a fabulous break through. Something you've been learning can help you jump forward in your career. If you aren't currently in the process of learning something important, get on it, now!
Cancer: Today is a 5.
Is money on your mind? This is a great day to do the homework. Figure out how you can make the best possible deal, even if it takes a while. This may not be an easy assignment, but you could get a nice return on the time and money invested.
Leo: Today is a 7.
Are you married? If so, just go along with whatev er your spouse wants. If not, well, your sweetheart might decide it's time to tie the knot. It probably is, too. Don't even know the right person yet? Get out and mingle. This could be the day.
Virao: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is an 8.
The work is pouring in. Concentrate on taking care of others' needs. If you give it your full attention, you could make a lot of money. You're good at this. It may be tough, but you can make it look easy. Think of it as a game, with you emerging the big winner.
Cuddle and make plans for the future. A person you care a lot about feels the same way back. Something you thought never could happen might come true. So, don't be inhibited by reality as you knew it. Be willing to let go of that so you can have it all.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
A lot's going on at your house. Are you fixing things up, moving things around or tossing out a bunch of stuff? If you live with anybody else, the issue becomes more complex. It may not be easy to work out a compromise you can all live with, but it's worth it.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
What you should learn next should be pretty obvious. Somebody might even come right out and say it. If you're any good at reading omens at all, you should know what it is by now. If not, well, ask somebody! They'll be glad to tell you.
P
You could have a marvelous idea — and soon. You and somebody else could be involved. Everything doesn't go exactly the way you thought it would, but that's OK. The overall outcome is positive. Luckily, you're naturally hard to dissuade. Keep at it.
Aquarius: Today is a 9.
You are so smart today; you should be able to figure out anything. If you're also practical, compassionate and sensitive to the feelings of others, you'll be unstoppable. But, who would want to stop you? You're awesome!
Pisces; Today is a 7.
You've been working up to this confrontation for quite a while. You know what you want, so don't settle for anything less. Even a person who's decisive may not have your best interests at heart. Hold out for what works best for you, even if you have to stall.

"These teams we are playing are not easy," she said. "They are going to give us a run for our money."
The team enters the season ranked No. 42 in the nation, dropping 10 places from No. 32, where it ended last fall.
The women's matches will be held at the Alvamar Tennis and Swim Club, 4120 Clinton Parkway. Friday's meet begins at 4 p.m., and Sunday's meets begin at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
New Orleans Saints hire Haslett as coach
Zac Hunter
FOOTBALL
NEW ORLEANS — Jim Haslett, defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was hired yesterday as coach for the New Orleans Saints.
"Jim is the best man for the job at this time for the New Orleans Saints," general manager Randy Mueller said. "I have a great relationship with Jim, and that is extremely important as we move forward to bring the Saints a winner. We will begin working toward that goal today."

The defensive coordinator in Pittsburgh since 1997, Haslett was the Saints' defensive coordinator in 1996 and coached the team's linebackers in 1995 during two turbulent seasons at the end of the Jim Mora era in New Orleans. While he was with the Saints, New Orleans improved from 22nd to 13th in total defense. The Steelers were 11th in total defense this season.
Shortstop Jeter doubles salary to $10 million
BASEBALL
NEW YORK — Derek Jeter doubled his salary to $10 million yesterday while putting off a multiyear deal. Ariel Prieto, meanwhile, lost in his quest to double his salary despite not pitching in the majors since April 1998.
"I'm paying a lot of tax now," Jeter joked after he agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Yankees. "It's kind of overwhelming, the way I've been compensated the last few years. It's not really something I sit around and think about too much."
The shortstop made $130,000 when he was American League Rookie of the Year in 1996, $550,000 in 1997, $750,000 in 1998 and $5 million after
New York and Jeter's agent, Casey Sleep, have been talking about a $118.5 million, seven-year deal. Knowing that the price only goes up, Yankees officials have been trying to convince George Steinbrenner to give his go-ahead, but the owner hasn't made a decision.
Prieto, a 30-year-old right-hander, dropped players to 1-1 in salary arbitration when he was awarded a raise from $210,000 to $300,000 instead of his request for $500,000. The decision was made by arbitrators Stephen Goldberg, James Gross and Ted High, who heard the case Wednesday in Tampa.
winning in arbitration last year.
Houston right-hander Chris Holt, who had been scheduled for a hearing yesterday, instead agreed to a one-year contract worth $1,025,000.
Twenty-eight players remain in arbitration, which runs through Feb.18.

Kari Malone threatens to sit out All-Star game
SALT LAKE CITY — If Karl Malone is serious about sitting out the All-Star game, he didn't on yesterday as he made a hasty exit from the Delta Center after Utah's
JAZZ
morning shootaround.
"Call up God.
Why don't you ask
God?"
Malone said while striding
morning
toward the parking lot.
Another consideration is a tendon on the middle finger of his shooting hand, which he reinjured last week
Malone reportedly is threatening to sit out the All-Star game, citing a recurring back injury. He strained his back during training camp, then hurt it again Tuesday against Seattle.
"I think the rest would do him good," Jazz trainer Mike Shimensky said.
at Portland.
Last week, Malone grumbled privately that he wouldn't play in Oakland unless he was named a starter in voting by fans. He wasn't; Malone and teammate John Stockton were chosen Monday by coaches as All-Star reserves.
If he doesn't show up in Oakland on Feb. 13, Malone could face a possible fine or suspension from the NBA.
Clippers dismiss coach assistant takes reins
LOS ANGELES — Chris Ford was fired as coach of the Los Angeles Clippers yesterday, following humiliating losses to Golden State and Phoenix by a combined 77 points.
Ford was in the second year of a three-year contract with the Clippers, who are 11-34 including 16 losses in the last 18 games.
Ford, 51, was replaced by assistant Jim Todd, whose first game as interim coach is tomorrow night against Dell-
"Chris is a good person and his efforts should be acknowledged," said Elgin Baylor, the team's vice president of basketball operations. "But it has simply reached the point where the gap between the actual results and where we think we should be — based on our talent level — is just too wide."
Todd, 47. coached the Clippers to two victories in as many games in December when Ford was unable to coach because of back spasms.
"Jim did a good job earlier this year," Baylor said. "There are no guarantees, but if he does well and the team responds, it would certainly make him a viable candidate for long-term consideration."
Baylor said Todd would have the job at least through the end of the season.

Ben Burton: Has considered running for Delta Force
New coalitions to run for Senate
By Erinn R. Barcomb writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
When preparations for the student body presidential race begin later this month, at least four candidates will be in the running.
Ben Walker, Hutchinson junior, and Marlon Marshall, St. Louis sophomore, said they intended to run against Sam MacRoberts, Leawood junior, and Carrie Depenbusch, Columbus junior, in this spring's election.
Ben Burton, Ocean, N.J. sophomore, said he had considered running for president with Delta Force, but nothing had been decided. He said whether he would run depended on how the other candidates' platforms compared to his.
Zora Mulligan, elections commissioner, said although petitions were scheduled to be released today, the commission decided to wait until it had approved the elections code later this month. She said the candidates would officially be in the race when the petitions were turned in around mid-March.
Both candidates will run with new coalitions. Walker and Marshall said they would run with United Students, which Walker said had lined up about 35-40 candidates.
MacRoberts and Depenbusch said they would run with Students First, which had a similar number of candidates.
Both sets of candidates said they had no set issues but wanted to wait and see what students were interested in. They also said they prided their coalitions on diversity.
"We're not the same old thing." Walker said of he and Marshall. "We're from two different parts of campus. I'm in a fraternity, and Marlon lives in the [Jayhawk] Towers."
Walker and Marshall said United Students' candidates represented about 100 different organizations on campus.
MacRoberts and Depenbusch said Students First represented scholarship halls, residence halls and Greek organizations in equal numbers, and was reaching out to off-campus and nontraditional students.
"I've been talking to people for a long time now," MacRoberts said. "We've pulled leaders from all across campus. We found leaders from outside Senate, and we want to put them in the Senate realm."
Kevin Rapp, Cedar Crest, N.M. senior and MacRoberts's campaign manager, said he thought students had become cynical and wanted candidates who weren't involved in campus politics.
On the other hand, Walker and Marshall said their experience in

would be
their biggest
a s s e t.
Walker is the Senate Legislative

Advisory Board chairman, and Marshall is the Student Senate Executive Committee chairman.
"Marlon and I have a combined five years on Senate, and we have our personal relationship with administrators, the Board of Regents and state legislators," Walker said. "We know how things work."
Walker said that as legislative director he had worked behind the scenes on the recent tuition hike. Marshall's latest calling has been working to preserve bowling lanes at the Jaybowl.
Although MacRoberts and Depenbusch have no previous Senate experience, they and Rapp agreed that it was not an issue. Rapp drew a parallel to the popularity of Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, a one-time professional wrestler who became involved in politics.
"To me, what's important is integrity and character," said MacRoberts, who has been president of the University of Kansas chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity and undergraduate president for the national chapter. Depenbusch is president of KU Ambassadors, and said she had experience with parliamentary procedure.
"With the leadership we will take to Senate, we will be representative of everyone," Depenbusch said.

Weekend blaze will not hinder today's business

Strong Hall remained closed yesterday afternoon as a Facilities Operations crew worked to restore power to the building, but crew members said it would be "business as usual" today.
A transformer exploded at 8:11 p.m. Saturday — a few feet from Strong's north exterior wall causing a small fire and cutting off power to wall outlets inside the building.
Vince Grisell, Topeka sophmore, was in the Sigma Nu fraternity parking lot, 1501 Sigma Nu Place, when the transformer exploded. He said he was getting out of a car when he heard the explosion and saw flashes of light in the direction of campus.
"The light was white, and it was kind of like fireworks," he said. "And there was smoke. The pops were sporadic."
Blue and red lights from the eight emergency units dispatched to the scene cut through the darkness. Strobe-like flashes of white light pulsed from within Strong and Wesco halls, where tremors from the explosion tripped emergency
alarm systems. A fire alarm went off in Watson Library as well, although there was no fire inside any campus buildings.
KPL officials cut electrical power to Strong and much of the surrounding area so that firefighters could battle the fire safely. Firefighters used foam to extinguish the fire because it was fueled by oil from inside the generator.
Bill Stark, battalion chief for the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Department, said using foam was the standard procedure in an oil fire because it reduced the chance of reignition.
The fire caused $25,000 damage, said Rob Kort, battalion chief for the fire department.
Fire department personnel cleared the scene at 10:32 p.m.
The transformer was the oldest of several behind Strong, said Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations.
Smoke from the fire left a trail of grayish-black carbon flakes up to the third floor of the exterior wall of the terra cotta building, but no permanent damage occurred.
"The damage throughout the evening has been contained to the cage area around one of the transformers there in the back of Strong." Bretz said. "We're lucky the fire was contained quickly and that it was on Saturday night when there weren't many people around."
Darkness blanketed the area from Wescoe Hall to the usually glowing Campanile and west to Potter Lake.

Otero, a Valley High School senior in Albuquerque, N.M., will attend the University of New Mexico for free just because he lives in New Mexico. All Otero has to do is keep a 2.5 college GPA to receive a full-tuition Lottery Success Scholarship.
Jason Otero didn't win the lottery. He's never even bought a ticket. But the lottery will pay for his in-state college education.
"It shouldn't be that hard," Otero said. "I have to keep my grades up, or my parents said I can pay my own tuition."
Other states, such as Georgia, have similar programs.
But in Kansas, some legislators say state lottery money is not the ticket to enhancing higher education.
"I don't like the idea of supporting educational programs with something as unsure as the gambling industry," said State Rep. Ralph Tanner, R-Baldwin and chairman of the House Education Committee.
"In the late '80s, Kansas was still in a recession, but now the economy is strong and unemployment is low. What Kansas needs now is a welltrained, well-educated work force."
Tom Sawyer
State Democratic chairman
A large percentage of Kansas lottery proceeds go toward economic development, which attracts companies and creates job.
"We've been fairly successful driving economic growth in Kansas," Tanner said. "There's no reason to stop doing that."
State Democratic chairman Tom Sawyer, however, said higher education was the best economic development investment.
Last year, the Kansas Lottery awarded about $108 million in prizes. The state pocketed $59 million.
Lt. Gov. Gary Sherrer, who helps recommend how lottery money is spent, said that successful economic development was dependent upon quality education, but that education alone wouldn't create economic development.
"The problem you get into using lottery funds for tuition is where do you get the money to create the jobs that the students will have?" Sherrer said. Some lottery money does go to state universities
— but not to students. About $3 million goes to Centers of Excellence, including two at the University of Kansas, for economic development research.
Jim Janousek, manager of research for the Department of Commerce and Housing, which receives about $20 million in lottery dollars, said the money created about 5,000 jobs last year.
Sawyer said that those numbers were misleading and that higher education had a greater need.
Our lottery money has been going to the same place since it was founded in 1987, Sawyer said. "In the late '80s, Kansas was still in a recession, but now the economy is strong and unemployment is low. What Kansas needs now is a well-trained

Driver in fatal wreck pleads guilty in court
The driver of a pickup truck involved in an August accident in North Lawrence that killed four Haskell Indian Nations University students will be sentenced March 17.
Manuel L. Brown, 20, of Gamerco, N.M., pleaded guilty to four counts of involuntary manslaughter during his appearance in Douglas County District Court Friday. He also pleaded guilty to two counts of aggraved battery and one count of driving while intoxicated.
Six students were riding in the bed of the truck Aug. 29 when it hit a series of railroad tracks and overturned. Three of the six students who were ejected from the bed were pronounced dead at the scene: Ray "Mike" Red Elk, 24, Anadarko, Okla.; Yancy Longhat, 20, Zuni, N.M.; and Albert Whitebull, 25, Kenel. S.D.
Clint Wahquaboshkuk, a fourth student, died Sept. 10 at Overland Park Regional Medical Center.
Douglas County District Attorney Christine Tonkvich said Brown entered a plea in lieu of a preliminary hearing for a jury trial.
"The four counts of involuntary manslaughter were amended from level four to level five felonies," she said. "So he is looking at less time."
Aggravated battery is also a level five felony. Tonkovich said that if a defendant had no criminal history, level five felonies could draw a sentence of anywhere from 31 to 34 months. A DUI conviction can mean as many as six months in jail, she said.
Tonkovich said it would be up to the judge whether the sentences would run at the same time or back to back. If the judge followed maximum sentencing guidelines and ran the sentences back to back, Brown could face nearly 17 years in prison, she said.

Minor quake strikes northwestern Kansas
PALCO, Kan. — an earthquake that shook a small area of northwest Kansas was just strong enough to remind residents they live near a fault line.
The tremor struck at 7:36 p.m. Thursday with a 2.8 magnitude and was centered near the Rooks County town of Palco, about 30 miles northwest of Hays. Sheriffs' offices in Hays and in Stockton, 25 miles northeast of the epicenter, fielded a few calls from residents but no damage was reported.
"That was a little bigger than a micro earthquake, which is an earthquake that is too small for people to feel." Rex Buchanan, associate director of public affairs for the Kansas office of the U.S. Geological Survey.
The area was the center of several earthquakes in the summer of 1989, including one with a magnitude of 4.0, according to Don Steeples, distinguished professor of geology at the University of Kansas.

Gore defeats Bradley in Delaware primary
WILMINGTON, Del. — Vice President Al Gore won the Delaware presidential primary Saturday, outdistancing Bill Bradley in an election neglected by the Democratic campaigners.
Gore won comfortably in a primary that was only a popularity contest, a state-run straw poll.
The vice president captured 57 percent of the vote, the former senator from New Jersey, 40 percent.
Gore, taking a day off in Washington, thanked a union leader by telephone for the victory. "He said we took him over the top," said Mike Begatto, executive director of the AFL-CIO Public Employees Council.
Gore's next test is March 27, when Delaware Democrats begin choosing their 22 nominating delegates. The state scheduled its primary near the start of the campaign season in an effort to gain influence, but Democrats cannot select delegates this soon without violating party rules.
Russian president claims victory in Grozny
GEKHI, Russia — Federal troops have seized the last rebel stronghold in Grozny, acting President Vladimir Putin said yesterday, pronouncing an end to Russia's months-long drive to take the Chechen capital.
Russian forces, meanwhile, tried to head off rebels heading south to their mountain strongholds, shelling villages where rebels had taken shelter. Russian planes and helicopter gunships blasted militant positions in the Vedeno and Argun gorges, which are key rebel routes toward the mountains
"A short while ago, the terrorists' last bastion of resistance was seized." Putin said. "So, we can say the operation to liberate Grozny is over."
Putin said federal troops had taken control of the western Zavodskoi district of the capital and raised the Russian flag on an administration building there.
The claim could not be independently confirmed, and Russian forces have previously claimed to control parts of the Chechen capital, only to be pushed back by rebel ambushes.
Mexican police end university protests
MEXICO CITY — Thousands of Mexican police ended the ninemonth occupation of Latin America's largest university yesterday, raiding the main campus and arresting 632 students.
The police appeared to have full control of the campus of the 260,000-student National Autonomous University of Mexico after the 6 a.m. raid. Among those arrested were eight strike leaders.
"A democratic society cannot allow the kidnapping of the national university," said Interior Secretary Diodoro Carrasco.
Striking students — some attending a meeting, others sleeping — offered no resistance, and there were no reports of injuries.
The raid, authorized by a court order, was led by 2,500 federal police officers armed with just batons and backed up by city police.

House bill would keep track of where lottery money goes

well-educated work force."
Sawyer said his program would have cost about $60 million, leaving money for economic development.
Moreover, Sawyer said lottery money wasn't always used wisely. He said lottery money was given to a man from Texas to build a tire-recycling plant. He built the plant — in China, not Kansas.
"This bill could be an eye opener and a trailblazer for reform," Swenson said.
Sherrer said a law like Swenson's was unnecessary because the state did know where the money went.
Lawmakers can change where lottery money goes, but Sherrer said using the money for state
financial aid was not necessarily a good idea.
Tanner said that Kansas tuition was low compared to other states and that students should be willing to invest in their own educations.
"The old idea that attending a university is a right is wrong." Tanner said. "It's not correct to say that anyone has the right to be there. They have a right to equal access."
The state does provide about $14.5 million in financial aid for a variety of need-based scholarships and grants, but that money only stretches so far.
According the Board of Regents annual report for the 1998-1999 academic year, fewer than one-third of students qualifying for a Kansas tuition grant at a University received money.
Sawyer said that tuition increases had made it harder for students to afford an education. Instead, the state should make it easier, he said.
But Otero said that having the lottery pay for his college education wasn't perfect — too many people were taking advantage of the scholarship.
"I think it's a good deal," he said. "But so does everybody else. The universities are packed. People have problems with huge classes."

Attorney general says women need balance

Stovall urges prioritizing

Learning to play golf may help women become more balanced, Kansas Attorney General Carla Stovall told University of Kansas women yesterday afternoon at the Kansas Union.
Stovall was the keynote speaker for the fifth annual women's leadership conference, "Balancing Life Roles," which was sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
In addition to acquiring a golf swing, Stovall's advice to about 60 KU women was not to rush into marriage in order to support themselves financially.
"It's OK for women to be financially successful and succeed." Stovall said. "And not to wait for a man with a big bank account that's going to be a knight on a white horse to make you wealthy and financially comfortable."
Stovall said she didn't know how to play golf but suggested the activity as a way for women to relax while equalizing themselves with men in the business world.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program
director for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said this year's theme was timely.
In the '80s and '90s, women talked about doing everything — juggling traditional household duties and a career — Rose-Mockry said. But she said the part that was left out of that discussion was how to do it.
"It seems so critical for the times we are in to begin to talk about balance," Rose-Mocky said. "Women have begun asking, 'What about quality of life? What about living a more rounded lifestyle?'"
Stovall, 42, is Kansas' first female attorney general and has never been married. She said being single had allowed for more flexibility in her life — a life that isn't always balanced.
"Just because I'm attorney general doesn't mean I have balance in my life," she said. "The only thing I'm moderate in is my politics. Everything else is all or nothing."
Katie Glatz, Lawrence sophmore, said she was intrigued with Stovall's life and thought her message was inspiring.
"It was interesting to learn how to keep a good balance," Glatz said. "And it was good to hear that she doesn't always have that much balance."
Stovall also talked about the recent criticism she had faced. A
"Just because I'm attorney general doesn't mean I have balance in my life, The only thing I'm moderate in is my politics. Everything else is all or nothing."
Carla Stovall Kansas' attorney general
law firm Stovall once worked for handled the state's lawsuit against tobacco companies — which was settled recently — and received payment for legal services from the settlement.
Some state lawmakers have criticized her ties to the firm. Stovall said that knowing she did the right thing and having good friends was helping her through this difficult time.
"Nurture relationships with other women, because for the most part they will be your best friends." Stovall said.
In her own life, Stovall said dedication had helped her become a leader.
"Beyond skills, it seems to me that to be a leader and to be successful you have to have passion," Stovall said. "It's not the amount of time, it's how you feel about it and what you put into it."
Famous reporter talks politics, media accuracy
Capacity crowd joins in interactive session
By Ryan Devlin
Kansan staff writer
Famous Watergate reporter and best-selling author Bob Woodward discussed Bill Clinton, the 2000 presidential race and public perceptions of the media on Friday.
Earlier in the day he was awarded the William Allen White Foundation's 2000 national citation award.
Woodward was presented with the award before a capacity crowd at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The citation was financed by the William Allen White Foundation, which sponsors lectures, institutes and awards to promote the understanding of journalism in Kansas.
Woodward's coverage of the Watergate scandal helped the Washington Post win the Pulitzer Prize in 1973. He also has written or co-written eight best-selling non-fiction books and is the assistant managing editor for the Post.
After receiving the award, Woodward asked the audience questions rather than delivering a formal lecture.
When Woodward asked why Americans often expressed distrust of the news media, one audience member blamed the blurred line between news and entertainment. Another said she thought media members were untrustworthy.
Woodward said it was important for the news media to tell both sides of the story. He said that in the modern news environment, speed often took precedence.
Woodward said he would like to see more emphasis on the kind of in-depth investigation that he and fellow reporter Carl Berstein were able to do when they were reporting on Watergate.
"Speed defeats the truth," Woodward said. "We often say that we'll tell you the latest, but the latest is often wrong and irrelevant."
"You don't understand anything in an afternoon," Woodward said.
He also spent much of his address discussing Bill Clinton.
"Why has Bill Clinton as president been such a successful politician?" Woodward asked.
Several audience members gave responses to the question, including Chancellor Robert Hemenway, whom Woodward singled out for a response.
The chancellor attributed Clinton's success to his effectiveness as a communicator. Woodward agreed and said that Clinton's true strength was his ability to maintain eye contact. He told the audience about an experience he had interviewing Clinton in the Oval Office for his 1994 book, The Agenda.
Clinton was drinking a Coca-Cola, Woodward said, and as he finished it, Woodward noticed through the empty glass Clinton was maintaining eye contact with him.
"I think there is no one in politics, movies, the legitimate theater or anywhere that has those communication skills," Woodward said of Clinton. "That power gives him tremendous edge and is probably the underlying reason why he has succeeded as a politician."

'Business as usual' expected at Strong Hall today after explosion
Continued from page 1A
Strong is home to the University's student records and administrative offices. Spencer Research Library
- which stands several hundred feet to the north of Strong - is home to University Archives, the Kansas Collection and the University's other special collections. It includes rare books, manuscripts, records and photos of University history.
All entrances to Strong were locked yesterday except the north-central door being used by facilities employees. A KU Public Safety Officer stood guard inside the door. Signs posted at all other entrances read: "Building closed due to electrical problems."
Jim Long, assistant provost for planning and facilities management, said the building was closed so that power could be restored before people were allowed to come inside.
"We've let people come in to get things they needed to pick up," he said. "But then we've asked them to leave."
Richardson said the University would use a 23,000-pound generator — supplied by a Kansas City, Kan. company called AGGREKO — for about 8 to 10 weeks. The semi truck-sized temporary generator — 12 feet high, 20 feet long and 9 feet wide — will cost $5,395 a month to rent and operate, said Joe Kosser of AGGREKO.
"We'll splice it into the existing system," Long said. "We'll test the fire alarms, and it will be business as usual on Monday."
Strong Hall:
A transformer blew at 8:11 p.m. Feb. 5.
Police had to shut off power partially around campus in order to extinguish the fire.
Alarms at Wesco Hall and Watson Library also went off.
Watson Library:
A transformer at 19th and Louisiana streets blew, causing power outages to several buildings on campus. The blown transformer put stress on Watson's transformer, which burned out Oct. 29, 1998. It took several weeks to get the transformer replaced, while a generator was used to provide air conditioning for the building.
Haworth Hall:
A switch in the transformer short-circuited, causing loss of power to Haworth and Malott halls for several hours on Sept. 4, 1997.
Stauffer-Flint Hall:
Six transformer installed in 1960s, one blew in Sept. 1999, causing a partial power outage to the building for several hours.

Fire causes minor damage to fraternity
By Sara Shepherd
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Members of a local fraternity were forced to evacuate their house this weekend when a wood floor in the entryway caught fire.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Department received a report at 12:38 a.m. Saturday of a fire at the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity, 1941 Stewart Ave.
Battalion chief Bill Stark said the fire probably was started by a carelessly discarded cigarette. The cigarette hit the ground and ignited something, he said, which caused a small fire underneath the floorboards.
"It was not a major fire in any way." Stark said.
"It probably took us 20 minutes to get it under control." Stark said.
Stark said firemen chopped part of the floor to reach the fire, which was extinguished quickly.
Chip Lobeck, Phi Kappa Theta president and Topeka senior, said the chapter practiced fire drills on a regular basis. He said Saturday's evacuation went smoothly and no one was hurt.
"Everyone got out all right," Lobeck said. "It actually went over pretty well."
Aside from some water damage and a hole in the floor large enough for a fire hose, Lobeck said there was little structural damage to the house.
Stark said the damage to the house was estimated at $2,000.
The weekend fire was not the first to occur at Phi Kappa Theta this academic year. On Nov. 10, 1999, a candle placed too close to a mattress in the house started a fire.
Phi Kappa Theta has a partial sprinkler system. They were one of 11 University greek chapters cited last fall because its sprinkler system did not comply with city fire code.
Lobeck said the chapter planned to renovate the system this summer.

Students need more time to opt for pass/fail opportunity in classes
A proposal to allow students to exercise the credit/no credit option as late as the fifth or sixth week of the semester, instead of the third or fourth, recently was rejected by a faculty governance committee.
This proposal, which was sent back to the drawing board for revision, would have given students more time to evaluate their academic progress and decide whether a particular class grade will influence their grade point average. This would the best way to achieve the original purpose of the credit/no credit option.
When students choose the credit/no credit option, they receive credit for the class if they earn a C or above, but the grade does not
Deadline for credit/no credit option should be extended to five or six weeks into semester
affect their GPAs. The credit/ no credit option counts only for nonmajor classes. Thus, it allows students to pass required courses outside their majors, without devoting undue time and energy to a subject in which they have little aptitude or interest.
Because the credit/no credit option is designed to be applied to classes in which students don't think they will perform well, it is imperative that they be certain
about how they're doing in a class before deciding to adopt that option. Usually, it is difficult to reach a such a decision within the first three or four weeks of classes.
The proposal to extend the time students have to choose the option was not adopted because it would not necessarily be feasible for classes that meet for only a few weeks. This, however, is easy to solve. A revised proposal excluding those classes should be introduced and passed.
It is only fair that students are given adequate time to decide whether they really need to opt for credit/no credit. Without this, an option originally designed to help students won't be helping them at all.

Student grade cards not parent proof
Students should have the right to determine who is allowed to see their grades. Unfortunately, because of a lack of security in University of Kansas change of address forms, this is not always the case.
Although students can give the University an address where they want their grades, bills and other information sent, this address can easily be changed by someone else without the student knowing.
The change of address form recently went high-tech: It can be accessed online through the University's Web site. This is a good step. However, in its current form, it is too easy for anyone who knows a student's basic personal information — student ID number, birth

date, social security number and e-mail address — to change his or her address.
Students' parents, who easily can get online and change the address to which their kids' grades are sent, probably are the most likely to do this. Or, even simpler, parents who pay their children's tuition can fill out the change of address form conveniently attached to the bill.
This is unfair to students. At 18 years of age, students' academic records are their own. College stu
dents are adults and should be treated as such in respect of their privacy. They should have the last say in whether their parents are allowed to view their grades.
A possible solution to this lax security is to limit address changes to inperson or to online through e-mail only, similar to the system by which students can now receive their grades or schedules. This would require students to use their personal e-mail user names and passwords to make the change.
Students deserve privacy rights to their grades and other academic information. Although it may seem trivial on face, improving security in change of address forms would help achieve this.

Perspective
Local activists can serve as role models for kids
W when was the last time you asked a child who his or her role model was? When was the last time you asked yourself?
Breeze Luetke
Stahlman
columnist
opinion@kansan.com
But with a little effort, role models can be seen and pointed out, and it's possible that communities again can have youth who look up to those around them.
Unfortunately, many of today youth will answer this question with a fiction character, one born in the world of television
thanks to mass media, today's youth often are not encouraged to see real people and their incredible gifts to a community or to strive to be like them.
A community is defined in Webster's Dictionary as "a social group whose members live in a specific locality, share government, and have a common heritage."
The people who strive to make the environment in which this community lives and functions a better place are activists. I usually say an activist is a person who challenges the way things are now in the world to make the earth and their communities, or someone else's community, better. I think too many people have given the label "activist" too narrow of a definition. Consequently, people are scared of the word, but really, many of these same people are activists themselves.
I work a lot with youth and often discuss this idea. The definition I use is this: "A community is made up of people who live in, the same place or have things in common." Let's keep things simple.
There are many ways of going about challenging the way things are now. On one hand, you could blockade the doors of the conference center where the World Trade Organization is scheduled to meet, demanding that the people whose lives will be influenced by the decisions have representation. On the other hand, you could write a letter to the editor and help educate the readers, your fellow community members, about the fact that you would appreciate
I didn't think of the column idea on my own. I had received a phone call one day from my aunt, who was calling to ask if I knew anything about Julia "Butterfly" Hill, a tree-sitter in California. Hill had been up in a 300-foot-tall redwood tree since Dec. 10, 1997, protesting the logging of old growth forest. My 9-year-old cousin had read an article about Hill and had become fascinated with her. She wanted to write Hill a letter, and not sure of where to get that information, my aunt called me, the "activist" of the family.
having bike lanes on some of the major roads in Lawrence because you would feel a lot safer if they were there.
After passing on the information and talking to my cousin on the phone, encouraging her interest, I thought a lot about how excited she had become about the interesting life of this 24-year-old woman. I then thought of all the other amazing people I knew and knew of and how their stories might spark that same enthusiasm in another child. The column was born.
Last year, I wrote for a publication that ran my column once a month. It was called "Just for Kids," and it sought to persuade 9- to 12-year-old youths to view men and women who are active in their communities as role models. While my column was geared toward youth, the publication was not specifically targeted at that age group, and with each column I wrote, I hoped people of all ages would be inspired.
I hope writing it was only my beginning. I want to influence people to talk to each other, and especially to youth, about the real people they admire. There are so many individuals who are changing their communities for the better, simply by trying to make their own lives better, more fulfilling and happy. Often they are doing so instead of trying to meet the goals American society instructs us to: Make money, be beautiful and buy things.
One person can make a difference, and it is these people whom we should all strive to be like. Luckily, they are all around us, present in every community. We just have to find them and give them the recognition they deserve.

The Arabic Batts are not original, but they are an accurate reproduction. Windowless corridors lit by candles lead into a small room with a cold pool.

However, the Arabic Baths are a sideshow to the real masterpiece in town, the Alhambra, a magical fortress that graces the skyline.

faces and the water soothe our muscles. After alternating between cold and hot a few times, we all came out with glowing, healthy skin. I felt more refreshed than I'd been in a while.
The cold stone castles of my childhood dreams in no way resembled the majestic beauty of the Alhambra, still standing as a monument to an era long past. But now I know better — they did have the right idea.
As a child, I had a great interest in medieval tales of knights in shining armor and the world of King Arthur and Robin Hood. But my readings and picture books concentrated on Northern European history or fanciful tales by David Eddings and J.R.R. Tolkien. I never touched the palm trees and orange groves of Islamic Spain, one of the most important and culturally advanced areas of medieval Europe.
The Alhambra was built in the 13th and 14th centuries by the Nasrids, the last family of rulers in Islamic Spain. Inside, fountains, running water and reflecting pools turn an otherwise drab area of Spain into a green oasis of pine, palm and orange trees. Elegant gardens and patios lead into magical rooms with ornate patterned tile, sculpted plaster and engraved Arabic writing. No furniture, carpets or wall hangings remain, but one can imagine the magical life of those that once lived here.
The Alhambra was crowded with tourists even in late January, and in the rush of people, it was easy to pass on by and take a few snapshots. But this is a place — like the Arabic Baths — that needs to be slowly and thoroughly soaked in, with pauses to take a seat in the sun, stop at a still pool or gaze out over Granada and the towering Sierra Nevada mountains that line the city to the east.

Feedback Diversity requires respect of free speech
In the Feb. 3 edition of the Kansan, Amit Parekh had a column about baseball player John Rocker. The article leads off saying, "diversity matters," yet Parekh's seething anger has prevented him from remembering that "diversity" can only mean difference, and differences can only exist when freedom to express them is allowed.
Parekh would have Rocker receive the "fiercest punishment" and believes authorities should "teach him a lesson." Does this sound like a person who champions "diversity" or one who wishes to crush it?
Freedom to express one's opinion, no matter how unpopular, has always been one of the greatest attributes of our legal and political system. It allows dialogues and change to develop, while also inducing personal reflections about the opinions expressed. Perhaps Parek should consider why Rocker made these comments.
Could it be that Rocker, like so many "white heterosexual males," is getting tired of being the whipping boy for every form of media in this country during the last 30 years? Could it be that Rocker clearly perceives many immigrants coming to this country to exploit it rather than to embrace it, support it and assimilate into the American culture? Is it possible that Rocker understands that the moral and ethical decay of this country is rampant and he feels compelled to
comment about this crisis?
Rocker's comments, while certainly not popular, were caused by some personal assumptions he feels are significant enough to motivate him to express them publicly. It seems that a more sensible reaction to his comments would be to consider why he would say these things and what facts motivate a person to voice these opinions, and to consider what discussions with him might produce insightful results for himself and others. Nothing is to be gained by the harsh punishment or fascist-like oppression suggested by Parekh!

Bowl-a-thon participants donate skills for charity
By Jessie Meyer

Kansan staff writer
About 130 students dressed in blue Sigma Delta Tau sorority T-shirts filled the Jaybowl yesterday for "Strike Out Child Abuse," a charity bowling event.
The Prevent Child Abuse America foundation will receive all profits from the sorority's sixth annual, six-hour bowlathon, said Jenny Present, Sigma Delta Tau philanthropy co-chairwoman.
Eve Katz, Sigma Delta Tau president, said the event was something the sorority prided itself on nationwide.
BOWLING
"It's a lot of fun, and it's good community service," Katz said. "We won the national philanthropy award last year and want to follow up this year."
Present said each of the 29 teams paid $75 to bowl in two-hour time slots throughout the day. That fee, minus the cost of event T-shirts, and donations from parents and money collected from $2 raffle tickets, will be donated to the foundation.
"The community has helped out so much," Katz said. "They have donated so much to the charity. It's amazing."
Last year, the event raised about $2,200. Present said, and this year the sorority members are looking to surpass that figure.
The sorority already collected $2,175 from team fees, and once the raffle tickets and donations have been tallied, the total is expected to be exceed last year's.
Mindy Berns, Buffalo Grove, Ill. junior and Sigma Delta Tau member, was one of the coordinators from last year's event. She said yesterday's event was a success.
"We made a lot of improvements from last year," Berns said. "They have stuck and made this year even better."
The 29 teams were mostly fraternity and sorority groups, but several other teams participated.
Jake Ballard, president of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, bowled last year and

again this year on one of three Phi Delta Theta teams.
"I love to bowl," said Ballard, Overland Park junior. "It's a good charity."
"Strike Out Child Abuse" organizers aren't concerned if potential changes to the Jaybowl might effect the bowl-a-thon.
"We're not worried," Katz said. "We will just probably move to another bowling alley or think of something else. But I'm sure they won't close it."

KU Info hooks up students with baby-sitting jobs
Local parents have been calling the University Information Center for at least 10 years — but not to find out how many trees there are on campus, or when Add/Drop is. They're calling to find a student with some spare time to watch their kids.
KU Info offers a service in which parents can get names of willing student baby sitters.
tions before she started working there 10 years ago, but many people didn't know the service was available.
Potential baby sitters call KU Info and give their names, telephone numbers and times they are available. When parents need a baby sitter, they call KU Info. KU Info calls the parents back with a list of sitters who are available at their desired time. The parents are responsible for calling the baby sitter and negotiating payment, times and logistics.
JoLynn Lipari, Leawood sophomore, said security was a concern, so she made it a point to meet parents
before accepting a job
"I would meet them in person before I agreed to anything," she said.
Elkins said she thought students were responsible enough to watch: out for their own safety.
Soup's on for local art lovers

Kansas staff writer
"Students are pretty grown up," Elkins said. "They can kind of sense if it's an uncomfortable situation."
Elkins said there were more than 100 student baby sitters on the list last semester, compared to about 20 so this semester. But Elkins expected
Because students' class schedules change every semester, so does the list of available baby sitters.
Williams said a percentage of the profits, which would be determined after all the money was in, would go to a local soup kitchen.
Local artists donated the bowls and Hy-Vee. 3504 Clinton Parkway, contributed the soup, Williams said.
Susan Elkins, KU Info director, said it had offered baby-sitting connect
"By the end of the semester, we'll have a great many more," she said.
Ellen Williams, arts center activities director and organizer of the event, said it was a fundraiser for the arts center ceramics department. A majority of the proceeds will be used for supplies and class costs.
Although the event did not start until 11 a.m., Williams said there were 150 to 200 people waiting outside the arts center as early as 10:30 a.m.
"It's usually around 10 percent." she said.
Elkins said about 20 parents had used the service since the beginning of the semester.
Hungry art lovers got both of their needs satisfied Saturday.
It was the third annual Souper Bowl Saturday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 200 W. Ninth St., where art patrons could purchase a handmade ceramic bowl, filled with soup, for $8. Or, if they didn't want to dirty their new bowls, they could get their soup in a paper one.

One hour before closing, at 1 p.m., only 20 bowls were left. All 300 bowls were sold.
"Everybody gets really excited about this event," she said.
"We have a lot of desperate parents out there." she said.
Amy Carlson, arts center ceramics instructor, said volunteers were integral to the process.
"It's a lot of fun." she said.
"We've sold out every year."
She said about 10 people were working at the event, and about 15 had been working since Christmas to finish the bowls.
"We have a lot of volunteers who help glaze them and decorate them," she said. But Carlson said the artists, who could sell the bowls elsewhere for $18, were impressive volunteers.
"It's a real donation for them," she said. "They would never sell one of these for eight bucks."
Although the service is not advertised, Elkins said that parents still heard about it.
Williams said the bowls were produced by artists who came from varying parts of the community.
Carlson said some of the donated bowls also came from arts center students.
"Our students are the main focus for getting contributions," she said.
Carlson said she liked the event because it was low key and made art accessible to everyday people, who may not have the money to go to art galleries.
Lawrence residents Kevin Doyle and Jana White said Saturday was their first Souper Bowl, although they wanted to attend last year.
They said that they were not big art buyers but that they were impressed with the bowls — and food — they selected.

Community center relies on students to aid distressed
By John Audleholm
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Tiffini Prato spends eight hours a week by a phone waiting for calls. The people who call her talk about anything from how their days went to suicide.
She and about 60 other volunteers work the phones and talk to walk-ins at the free, 24-hour-a-day counseling and referral center.
Marybeth Bethel, assistant director of the center, said about two-thirds of its volunteers were University of Kansas students.
Marcia Epstein, director of the center and Lawrence graduate student in social welfare, said students were involved at all levels of the program.
"We have a lot of students who give to us," she said. "We also have a lot of students who use our services."
Bethel said students were more likely to call about relationships and loneliness than other people, but Prato said no problems were exclusive to students.
"Students can call in with anything that anybody else can call in with," she said.
Epstein said there was almost always a student volunteering at the center.
And Bethel said that without KU students, the center would not be what it was.
"We would exist but in a different way," she said. "It might not be a volunteer agency."
KU students started the center in 1969 as a support center for users of street drugs. Bethel said.
"The original staff actually lived there." she said.
The center quickly expanded into dealing with other personal issues, and by the early 70s, it was a crisis center. The University and the United Way began providing training in 1972.
Now, the center's other broad areas of emphasis are community education and the training program for volunteers. Epstein said. Student Senate finances about one-third of the program.
Training takes 10 to 12 hours a week
"The first time I ever worked was the busiest shift I've ever had.I don't think that it's scary anymore. Once you get into the situation,it's just natural."

for 12 weeks, she said, and volunteers then work eight hours a week for seven to eight months after they finish training.
"It's a lot of time that they're giving," Epstein said.
Volunteer staff training sessions usually begin the Sunday after the start of the University's fall, spring and summer sessions, she said.
Prato said she went through the training program last August and started working shifts at the beginning of November.
"I wanted to go into counseling," she said. "And I wanted to see if I liked it."
sand, And I wanted to see if I liked it. Prato said the training had helped her communication skills at both the job and in her personal life.
The training program has changed the way she interacts with everybody, even her parents, she said. She now tries to ask more questions and be understanding and empathetic, she said.
When it came time for the real thing, Prato said she wasn't scared.
"The first time I ever worked was the busiest shift I ever had," she said. "I don't think that it's scary anymore. Once you get into the situation, it's just natural."
Prato said volunteers often referred clients to other organizations, such as Women's Transitional Care Services or Rape Victim Survivor Services.
"We have an extensive community resource file," she said.
Prato said she had met caring people at the center.
"They have their life in order and their stuff together," she said. "By the time I get here, I'm glad that it here."

First lady makes run for New York senate seat official
The Associated Press
PURCHASE, N.Y. — With the president beside her and 2,000 supporters chanting her name, Hillary Rodham Clinton formally launched her campaign yesterday to become a U.S. senator from New York, a state she has lived in only a month.
The race for the seat fellow Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan will vacate is likely to pit Clinton against New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in what could be one of the most flamboyant political campaigns in memory.
No other first lady has ever run for public office.
"I am honored today to
announce my candidacy for the U.S. Senate from New York." Clinton said as shouts of "Hillary! Hillary!" ran through a university gymnasium not far from her new home in the northern suburbs of New York City.
"I may be new to the neighborhood, but I'm not new to your concerns," she said, while President Clinton, her mother and daughter sat behind her.
The president is said to be one of his wife's top advisers as she resumes the career she put aside to help him capture the White House.
Recalling a speech she made at her college commencement at Wellesley in 1969, Clinton said, "I
often return to one thing I said
back then, that politics is the art of making possible what appears to be impossible. I still believe that today. We can do what seems impossible if we have the vision, the passion and the will to do it together."
Clinton described her commitment to

Clinton: Trails Giuliani by slight margin in N.Y. polls
described her commitment to better schools, bet
ter health care and gun control. But she also took pains to describe herself as a new Democrat.
"I don't believe that government is the source of all our problems or the solutions to them," she said.
Her remarks were preceded by tributes from Moynihan, Sen. Charles Schumer and Reps. Nita Lowey of Westchester and Charles Rangel of Harlem, who joined her on stage during her speech and stayed after to shake hands with supporters.
Recent polls have shown Giuliani with a slight lead against Clinton and running even with her among women voters. That's a far cry from a year ago when sympathy
was strong because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal and polls showed her well ahead of the mayor.
On morning talk shows yesterday, Giuliani reminded viewers of Clinton's late arrival to New York politics.
"My record of success comes out of my knowledge, experience, background and life experience as a lifetime resident of the state," he said.
"How is it that the Democratic Party can't come up with a candidate for the Senate from the state of New York? What does that say about the Democratic Party?"
Giuliani has not made a formal campaign announcement, but he

Another MD-83 jet malfunctions
The Associated Press
RENO, Nev. — An Alaska Airlines MD-83 jetliner returned to Reno's airport shortly after takeoff Saturday night when the pilot reported problems with the horizontal stabilizer — the third such incident involving that jet model within a week.
The Seattle-bound jet's problems were similar to those discussed by pilots in the tense minutes before Alaska Airlines Flight 261 crashed into the Pacific Jan. 31.
The cause of that accident, in which 88 people died, has not been determined.
On Tuesday, an American Airlines MD-83 had trouble with its horizontal stabilizer after takeoff from Phoenix. It returned safely to the airport.
Alaska Airlines does not plan to ground its 35 MD-82 jetliners or to make any unscheduled maintenance checks, said Jack Evans, a spokesman for the Seattle-based airline.
"We obviously understand there's some stress out there," he said. "Despite the accident, we're launching about 400 flights a day and trying to conduct the normal side of our business."
The horizontal stabilizer is a wing-like part on the tail manipulated by the pilot to provide balance along the entire fuselage. An MD-83 stabilizer is about 40 feet wide, according to Boeing.
Alaska Airlines believes the Reno problem occurred because pilots were being overly cautious and running the stabilizer through several complete up-and-down cycles before takeoff, which overheated the motors, Evans said.
The Seattle-bound jet, Flight 631, left Reno/'Tahoe International Airport at about 7 p.m. Saturday. It headed back after seven or eight minutes when the pilot reported that the motors that controlled the stabilizer were operating improperly, Evans said.
Federal Aviation Administration officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment on the flight.
22 passengers freed from hijacked Afghan jet
The Associated Press
LONDON — The Afghan passenger airliner hijackers forced on a tense journey across Central Asia and Europe landed at London's Stansted Airport late last night. So far there have been no reported injuries.
The Ariana Airlines Boeing 727 tazed to a secluded spot about a half-mile from the main terminal. Police and emergency vehicles assembled nearby.
The plane was seized shortly after take off about 11:30 a.m. yesterday while on a domestic flight from the Afghan capital of Kabul to the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif. The plane made stops in Uzbekistan, Kazakstan and Russia before arriving in London just after 8 o'clock last night.

refueling stops in Kazakstan and Uzbekistan.
Russian news reports said there were 131 passengers and nine crew aboard before the release in Moscow, but other sources said there were as many as 160 aboard.
Afghan diplomats arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo-1 airport about 90 minutes after the plane landed, and Russian news agencies said they were negotiating with the biackers.
Zdanovich said the hijackers had only asked for food, the plane's toilets to be cleaned and refueling. He said the plane was headed for Western Europe, but had no specifics.
One diplomat, who declined to give his name, said the hijackers were seeking the release of a prisoner from the Afghan city of Kandahar.
Ten passengers were released in Uzbekistan, the hijacked plane's first stop, according to an Afghan opposition spokesman, identified only as Abdullah. Another three were released in Kazakstan.

Russian tanker seized for illegally transporting Iraqi oil
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Tests confirm a Russian tanker seized by the U.S. Navy in the Persian Gulf was carrying Iraqi oil in violation of the U.N. economic embargo, said Defense Secretary William Cohen yesterday.
The Volga-Neft-147 was being taken to Muscat, the capital of Oman, and the Omiani government will determine the fate of the merchant vessel and its crew, Cohen said while flying back from Germany, where he attended a European security conference.
Cohen also disclosed that an Iraqi
naval officer was on board the ship when it was seized by U.S. Navy SEALs.
The tests were completed yesterday on samples of oil from the tanker that was seized Wednesday because of suspicions it was carrying Iraqi oil.
"They do reveal that the oil was from Iraq," Cohen said. "But the government of Oman will make a determination as to what they will do with the ship itself. That's up to the Omanis at this point."
He said the Russians were informed of results of the tests, but he was unaware of any immediate
response from Moscow.
Asked what effect the development might have on U.S.-Russian ties, he said he didn't think it would have any impact.
Cohen pointed out that the ship was privately owned, and not the property of the government. Moscow had protested the seizure and demanded the vessel's release.
The tanker ignored U.S. Navy demands when it was ordered to stop on Wednesday, so armed Navy SEALs were dispatched by helicopter to board and seize the vessel, the Pentagon said Saturday.
U. S. officials had said earlier that
the russian crew did not resist the Navy SEALs Wednesday and cooperated with U.S. Navy personnel involved.
Once the SEALs were on board, the Russian crew cooperated, and no shots were fired, a Pentagon official said Saturday.
Russia, which maintained that the oil was from Iran, long has supported steps that would lead to the eventual lifting of the U.N. economic embargo against Iraq.
Officials in Washington said they merely were enforcing the embargo against Iraq in ordering the seizure,

Kama Lightfoot's mother is Caucasian and her father is African American. The Olathe junior marks both boxes when filling out forms that ask about ethnic heritage, an option not yet available at the University of Kansas.
Multiracial students struggle to identify heritage at University
By Kami Bremyer
"I always check white and black because I don't consider myself either," said Lightfoot, Olathe junior, whose father is African American and mother is Caucasian.
Special to the Kansas
Lightfoot is one of a number of multiracial students at the University who never have been given the option to identify themselves. A federally funded institution, KU is required to solicit information from incoming students about their ethnic heritage.
The government gives students five options: African American, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and Caucasian.
When Kama Lightfoot filled out her application for admission to the University of Kansas, the form requested she identify her ethnic background by checking one box.
And then there is the "other" box.
And then there is the "other" box.
The "other" is a catch-all box for students who forgot to check a box,
didn't choose to check a box, or whose racial heritage doesn't correspond with federal designations.
She couldn't do it.
"It's important to understand who you are and to be allowed to identify yourself by your mixed cultural heritage, and to be known as such." Herod said.
But even though some multiracial students are going against the system and trying to identify themselves, they are not being recorded as such. Alan Cerveny, director of admissions and scholarships, said that if a multiracial student whose ethnic background was Caucasian and another ethnic group checked more than one box, the system would record that person as a member of the respective minority group.
So, according to University records, where does Herod fall? Cerveny said that students who marked two multicultural boxes were contacted and asked what designation they preferred.
Federal paperwork is only a small part of how multiracial students identify themselves. For some multiracial students, developing a sense of who they are can be difficult, said Pam Botts, assistant director of Counseling and Psychological Services.
And as for Lightfoot? According to KU records, Kama is a key African American, not Caucasian and African American.
Botts said that students who are not a part of mainstream culture could become confused when trying to relate to both the cultural norm and their ethnic cultures simultaneously.
"Students sometimes feel like they should skate between one or two."
students sometimes feel like they should choose between one parent's heritage and culture or the others," Botts said. "The process

of adopting a culture and possibly rejecting another can be extremely hard to do."
Mike Sweate, Chicago junior. said he once was caught between his two cultures
"I think at one point in time in your life you get very confused as to who you really are because it feels like you are not fully accepted by either side of the family," said Sweate, whose father is African American and mother is Caucasian of French-Canadian decent. "You spend a lot of time thinking and listening to what other people have to say and what other people believe or what other people think you should be or act like."
"I did feel pressure due to the fact that they didn't understand my position of being confused," Herod said. "They didn't have the same frame of reference because they were basically within one culture."
Multiracial students who are trying to identify themselves sometimes find their work even harder because of the government's slow action to reform ethnic reporting.
On federal forms, without a multiracial category or the option to check more than one box, some students will go unidentified.
The U.S. Census Bureau is trying to change the lack of representation of some races. In the 2000 Census, for the first time, those surveyed will be allowed to check all boxes that apply to their ethnic heritage.
For the reporting of ethnic breakdown at the University to change, the federal government will have to modify guidelines. In the meantime, the University is installing a new system that will have the capability to record more complex information about students' ethnic heritage, Cerveny said.
"We have a student information system that we are installing so that if the Feds come up with new guidelines, I think we will have the technical capabilities of being able to reflect percentages," he said.
Although the government has yet to decide how multiracial students will be identified, Sweate doesn't need anyone to tell him who he is.

'Hawks dominate in win
By Chris Fickett
By Chris Fickett
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Don't credit Jaclyn Johnson for grabbing rebounds. She's supposed to.
"My job is to go in there and get the rebounds. That's what I do," said Johnson, Kansas' junior forward who snatched a game-high 12 boards in the No. 25 Jayhawks' 75-58 victory against Oklahoma State.
But you can credit Johnson for the other things she did yesterday at Allen Fieldhouse — scoring 16 points, blocking two shots and making three steals and two assists. She also took care of the paint while her teammates tried to stop Cowgirls senior guard Jennifer Crow, who scored 30 points.
"We certainly don't like to see players score that many points, but we didn't want anyone else to get into it," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "I thought that we really held most of the other players down."
"Held down" might be an understatement. Johnson and her frontcourt teammates helped Kansas outscore Oklahoma State 42-20 in the paint. The Cowgirls' frontcourt shot only three-for-20.
"I think that we were definitely bigger and more physical than they were," Johnson said. "Inside I think we really dominated."
Despite Kansas' advantage inside, Washington remained wary of the Cowgirls, who led by as many as six points in the first half.
"Oklahoma State had just come off a great game at Colorado," Washington said. "Even when we were up by 15-18 points, we were obviously concerned because they made a really outstanding run in Boulder — a 21-0 run. We just didn't get into a situation where we allowed them to have that momentum."
kansas' defense, which produced 11 steals, sparked a 15-2 flurry late in the first half that helped put the Jayhawks up 32-27 at halftime. The crowd of 4,350 got involved during the run when junior forward Brooke Reves, who scored a teamhigh 17 points, stripped Oklahoma State's Chantyola Hawkins and scored on an uncontested layup.
Hawkins, a freshman guard from Raytown, Mo., had only four assists and nine turnovers. Part of her problems were caused by Kansas junior point guard Jennifer Jackson, who dished eight assists, made two steals
and had no turnovers.
"I feel that we were sluggish the first 10 minutes of the game, but once our defense picked up it really helped us get some energy," Jackson said. "I think we do depend on our defense a whole lot to get us into the flow of the game."

A sign of things to come?
Haircuts, coach's vow highlight 'Hawk win
Bv Matt Tait

Kansan sportswriter
When the Jayhawks took the floor Saturday against Texas Tech, they did so with two new looks.
Freshmen Kirk Hinrich and Drew Gooden got their first starts as Jayhawks in the places of sophomore point guard Jeff Boschee and junior center Eric Chenowith.
The second showed when several Jayhawks appeared featherless.
"It it was Jeff Carey's idea, and we all talked about it and decided, 'let's do it,'" Chenowith said of shaving their heads. "It's a unity thing. The Marines all do the same thing together, so we wanted to do the same thing together."
If Saturday's 87-62 win is any indication of how the Jayhawks perform bald, the athletics department may want to order a lot of disposable razors.
Actually, it was two Kansas players who sport year-round shaved heads who provided the scoring spark. Junior Kenny Gregory, the Jayhawks' leading scorer, returned to early-season form, scoring a game-high 19 points. Boschey, who had been struggling before Saturday's game, dropped in three three-pointers on his way to 11 first-half points and a total of 13.
Hinrich and Gooden joined fellow freshman Nick Collison in the starting lineup — the first time since the 1982-83 season that the Jayhawks have started three freshmen. Williams said that the lineup change wasn't drastic and that he did it for a change.
"I can't say enough about Eric Chenowith and Jeff Boschee," Williams said. "I'm not saying they were happy about it — it wasn't easy for either one of them — but they want Kansas to win, and I'm really pleased with the way they handled that role."
"I didn't want to get into April and say I wish I had done something to shake us up," Williams said.
A
The coaches were not the only ones on the Kansas bench with hair. Three Jayhawks — Gooden, Hinrich and Marlon London — elected not to shave their heads. However, Hinrich said he might be willing to wear a headband similar to the ones Gregory and senior Nick Bradford donned Saturday.
If Kansas keeps winning, the entire team may resemble swimmers more than basketball players
"I'll slap on a headband to change it up a little, but I'm not losing the hair," Hinrich said. He seemed to think otherwise.
"We've been trying to get them," he said. "Drew's my roommate and he's holding out, but Kirk's the hardest to convince. I think if Drew does it, then Kick will, too."
— coaches included. If Kansas beats Oklahoma State tonight in Stillwater, assistant coach Neil Dougherty will shave his head. Williams will do the 'do if the Jayhawks win the Big 12 regular-season title, and assistant Joe Holladay will go bald if Kansas makes the Final Four.
Gregory said that he wasn't certain the smooth domes were the reason for the Jav Hawks' improved play.
"If the shaved heads do it, then I hope we keep them the rest of the season," he said.

Basketball in state rich with variety
And there, the similarities stop.
Two teams with incredible talent. Both play in Kansas. Both are nationally ranked. Both have the student-fans stand the entire game (but for one, that only amounts to 15 kids). Both are led by point guards from Sloux City West High School.
The Kansas Jayhawks probably have never heard of the Kansas Newman Jets. But watching the two teams play back-to-back on Saturday made me wonder if Roy Williams should call the Wichita college and ask for a couple game tapes.
Newman University is a Catholic school in Wichita of 2,000 students that is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The Jets play teams such as Haskell Indian Nations University and York College — wherever that is. At 19.5, the Jets are making a name for themselves in only their second year having a basketball program.
The Kansas Jayhawks are a Division I power that score Big Monday games on ESPN virtually every time they happen to play on a Monday. The program has history that dates back to the father of basketball himself.

Track team stays vibrant in Iowa meet
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
After an emotion-heightened meet last weekend, the Kansas track and field team successfully avoided fizzing out like a week-old soda Saturday at the Northern Iowa Invitational.
"One of the things I was worried about, especially after a very emotional meet like the one last week, was if we would be a little flat," coach Gary Schwartz said. "And I think emotionally we were a little flat at Iowa."
Emotionally flat, may, but it's hard to top the excitement of the Kansas/Kansas State/Missouri invitational last weekend at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. Kansas placed second in the meet against the rival schools.
In Cedar Falls, Iowa, however, Kansas was anything but flat, capturing five first place finishes.
Junior All-American Andrea Branson won the pole vault, sophomore Jennifer Foster captured the shot put title and freshman Brandi Taylor won the triple jump, her first first-place finish as a Jayhawk.
For the men, senior Chris Dunback won the 35-pound weight throw with a heave of 59 feet, 11 inches. On the track, junior All-American Charlie Gruber won the 800-meter run, speeding across the line in 1:49.27, which provisionally qualified him for the NCAA indoor championships and placed him second on Kansas' all-time performance list in the indoor 800.
"Charlie Gruber definitely shined when he stepped up for the provisional mark." sophomore Dorian Jordan said.
Schwartz agreed.
"I think it was one of the most outstanding performances." Schwartz said. "There were some people who had good solid performances too. We had 12 other people on both the men's and the women's teams who had personal bests."

St. John's player out for possible violation

St. John's athletic director Ed Manetta Jr, said he expected the NCAA to address Barkley's status today.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
The school on Saturday declared its leading scorer ineligible because of a possible NCAA rule violation.
"There is no official investigation," Manetta said. "The committee that handles this interpreted it one way, and we had to take action reluctantly."
Barkley traded his late model Jeep Cherokee for a bigger but older Ford Expedition that belongs to a family friend, said a source close to Barkley and another with knowledge of the matter, both speaking on condition of anonymity.
The exchange could be a violation if the NCAA rules Barkley received preferential treatment because he was an athlete or if this constituted possible payback for when he turns professional.
No one from the NCAA was available for comment.
Barkley is averaging 16.9 points, 4.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 17 games for the Red Storm (14-6).

A Dodge Viper fielded by the French Oreca team overtook the Dyson Racing Riley & Scott Mark III-Ford, the 1999 winner, two hours from the end, then held off a challenge from a Chevrolet Corvetain in the closest Daytona sports car finish ever.
The Viper, shared by former Formula One drivers Karl Wendlinger of Austria and Olivier Beretta of France and four-time Porsche Cup champion Dominique Dupuy of France, gave Daimler-Chrysler its first overall championship in a sports car endurance event.
Rob Dyson's car, co-driven by James Weaver of England, Max Papis of Italy, Elliott Forbes-Robinson and Dyson, dominated until the engine began misfiring during the nighttime hours at Daytona International Speedway.
Wendlinger was at the wheel when the red and white Viper passed the slow-moving R&S-Ford to take the lead for the first time in America's premier sports car race.
The Viper led the rest of the way, but the Corvette co-driven by Canadian Ron Fellows, Justin Bell of England and Chris Kneifel made it interesting, finishing on the same lap, just 30.879-seconds behind — the closest finish in the race's 38-year history.

Multiple U.S. teams lose in bids for Cup
AUCKLAND, New Zealand — Five American syndicates ran expensive campaigns to win the America's Cup. Too many, says Paul Cayard, after he failed as his country's last hope.
"We were too diluted," he says. "Having five or six teams from the United States is not the best way to put our best foot forward."
With a budget estimated at $32 million, Cayard's AmericaOne lost the best-of-9 challenger finals 5-4 when Prada won the last race yesterday by 49 seconds. The Italian syndicate reportedly had at least twice as much money to spend.
So for the first time in 31 America's Cup competitions starting in 1851, no U.S. boat will be in the finals. The country that won the first 25 events has lost three of the six since then and an unprecedented two straight.
Only one syndicate represented each of the other six countries in the challenger series — Australia, France, Italy, Japan, Spain and Switzerland.
The American campaigns were AmericaOne from the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco, America True from the San Francisco Yacht Club, Team Dennis Conner from San Diego, Young America from the New York Yacht Club and Aloha Racing from the Waikiki Yacht Club.

HONOLULU — Randy Moss came up big against the AFC's best defensive backs.
The Minnesota receiver set records with nine catches for 212 yards, and Mike Alstott scored three touchdowns in the NFC's 51-31 victory Sunday in the highest-scoring Pro Bowl ever.
"We had a lot of fun," said Moss, selected the MVP. "With Alstott rumbling through there, we did some good things. I'm not really into individual awards and things like that, but I guess I'll take them
"He's one of the best," Madison said. "They put him in a situation to make plays, and that's what he did."
The 6-foot-4 Vikings star used his height advantage to outleap the AFC defensive backs, particularly 5-11 Sam Madison of Miami and 6-foot James Hasty of Kansas City.
Moss' last catch was a 25-yard touchdown reception from Carolina's Steve Beuerlein with 1:05 to play that closed the scoring.
The score seemed to bring out some bad feelings between the two teams, who accused each other of breaking Pro Bowl rules that prevent blitzing and rushing the kicker.

Having used four years of eligibility in volleyball, she still is eligible to play this academic year and next in a different sport. Next year, however, Amanda Reves will be spending her fifth year in the School of Social Welfare away from the University.
"Not getting as much playing time as she may have thought, she would like to go ahead and focus on her academics." Washington said. "It's disappointing, but certainly I do understand it."
Washington learned of the situation Saturday night and will talk with her about the situation today.

Swimmers end season strong

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas swimming and diving team finished its regular season Saturday in Ames, Iowa, the same way it finished most of the meets throughout the season.
The women's team pulled out a 171-124 victory against Iowa State, improving to 6-4, and 3-1 in the Big 12 Conference.
The men, meanwhile, were outmatched by the No. 25 Cyclones, falling 142.591.51. The men are winless on the year at 0.7-0.4.
The women don't get much time to celebrate because the Big 12 Conference Championships are from Feb. 17 to 19 in College Station, Texas. The men, however, can build on strong performances late in the season before they travel to College Station the weekend of March 2 for the men's conference meet.
Senior captain Kerri Pribyl demonstrated why she was named Big 12 diver of the month Friday, winning both the 1- and 3-meter diving events. The wins were Pribyl's fifth and sixth in the last four meets. Making her accomplishments more impressive is her successful return from arm surgery during the break. She has won at least one event at every meet since returning against Southern Illinois Jan. 15.
"Winning two boards again, she's come out to be a dominant young lady," said Coach Gary Kempf. "She's setting herself up for a good conference and hopefully a trip to the NCAA's. This diving group is a strong team. That's something we're really proud of."
Pribly set the tone for the Jayhawk women, who got two wins from freshman Gwen Haley, and wins from seniors Rebecca Eustice and Sherry West, junior Carolyn Horwitz, sophomore Carolyn Grevers, freshman Beth Schryer and the 200-meter medley relay.
"The meet itself it was a real roller-coaster ride," Kempf said "The girls did things we needed to. I was looking to pick my scoring team and I was able to, Carolyn Horowitz had one of her best meets and so did Sherry West. We're starting to pick up help from some other people as we go."
Sophomore diver Adam Hanhart matched Pribyl by winning both men's diving events. The Jayhawks

picked up wins from senior Brandon Chestnut in the 200-breaststroke and the 400-freestyle relay.
"We're all out there trying our best," Hanhart said. "The teams we've been going against lately have been really good. Coach said it doesn't matter until we get to conference. Hopefully when we get there, guys will have some good swims because that's what it's all about."
The men lost to a ranked opponent for the third week in a row, but Kempf said the team did well overall.
"The guys swam well in places," Kempf said. "Our problem all season is consistency. We got behind early and had a hard time. Physically, I think we're where we need to be, but I'm not sure if we are emotionally and mentally."
But given the amount of time left before the conference championship, Kempf is still optimistic about the men's team.
"I'm still real proud of them, and I think they're going to end the season very well," he said. "But, we still have a way to go."
Women's tennis starts spring 3-0

If once is an accident, twice a problem and three times a trend, Kansas women's tennis opponents will be in for a long season.
The team breezed through its first three matches of the spring season, which included sweeping a doubleheader yesterday at Alvamar Racquet Club.
In their final meet of the afternoon, the Jayhawks tore through the Wichita State Shockers without losing a set, winning 8-0.
Junior Monica Sekulov, 3-0 in singles play and 3-0 in doubles, set the pace from the No.4 position. She disposed of Martina Stoijk, 6-1, 6-1, and was the first one off the court for the 'Hawks.
"Everything was going well off the racquet," Sekulov said. "I just felt like I couldn't miss."
Despite the final score, the Jayhawks were tested from time to time. Senior Brooke Chiller was pushed by the Shockers No. 1 player, Annelie Van Den Heever. Chiller admitted not having her best game at the time but won two difficult sets, 6-3, 6-4.
"I was getting frustrated with myself because I was making a lot of easy mistakes," she said.
Seeing Chiller's frustration, coach Jenny Garrity reminded her where she was and whose court she was playing on.
"She is the dictator of her points," she said. "This is her court."
Kansas has two new doubles combinations, one of which pairs sophomore sisters Cheryl and Lisa Mallaiah. The sisters played No. 3 doubles and were 3-0 on the weekend.
The second new tandem is Sekulov and freshman Tiffany Chang, who also went 3-0 but struggled at times. Twice they were behind late in the set but fought back and won.
"I think it says a lot about Monica being a leader and really helping Tiffany get through those matches," Garrity said. "Those two, I wouldn't care if they were down 7-0. I would always think that they could come back."
Domination also was the word applied to the day's first match against the Creighton Bluejays, as the Jayhawks only lost six games to the northern visitors.
Sophomore Christi Wagenaar defeated Sarah Beth Dangos 6-1, 6-3, completing the Kansas sweep.
Senior Julia Sidorova dismantled Jeanne Raynor, Creighton's 5. play

er. Sidorova's play forced Raynor into spraying the ball all across the court including one shot that reached the gallery.
Despite the dominance of the victory, Garrity said the team would learn from the experience gained during the meet.
"They are going to have to adjust to their opponents all year," she said. "Even though there might not have been close scores, they had to focus the whole time. To play a whole doubles match and a whole singles match that way is very challenging."
Lisa Malliaa finished the meet by defeating No. 6 player Megan Green and sealed the 'Hawks' 8-0 victory.
The only two defeats of the weekend came Friday against Eastern Michigan. Cheryl Malliaah lost her first singles match of the year to the Eagles' Rebecca Hawkins, 3-6, 3-6, and the No. 1 doubles team of Chiller and Sidorova fell to Hawkins and Lisa D'Amelio.
But those were Friday's only losses as the 'Hawks won the meet 7-2.
Next up for the Jayhawks is a trip Feb. 11 to Davidson, N.C., where the team will face Ohio State, College of Charleston and host school Davidson College. Kansas' next home match is Saturday, Feb. 26 at the Jayhawk Classic.
Football recruits rank in top half of Big 12 on Internet polls
By Allan Davis

Kansan sportswriter
Although the quality of Kansas 2000 recruiting class will be determined on the football field during the coming seasons, that doesn't stop Internet football analysts from speculating on the quality of recruits.
Four recruiting-analysis Web sites evaluated Kansas' 2000 recruiting class as No.5 or 6 in the Big 12 Conference, and the Jayhawks' ranking compared favorably with Kansas State's recruiting class.
Jon Kirby, of MO-KAN Football (http://mokanfootball.rivals.com/), which specializes in the Missouri-Kansas area, gave the Jayhawks' class a grade of B+, which he said was about 25th in the nation. Kirby ranked the Jayhawks fifth in the Big 12.
"I really believe this is Kansas" best recruiting class in the last 15 years," he said. "The Kansas coaches have an ability to recruit very well. Every phone call I made, it seemed something positive was being said about KU."
Kirby praised the quality of Kansas' recruiting class.
Kirby said recruits told them they chose Kansas because the Jayhawks were turning their program around and were headed in the right direction.
Analyst Robert Allen of Big 12 Recruiting (http:// mokanfootball. rivals.com/) also favorably ranked Kansas' recruiting class as fifth-best in the Big 12. Allen ranked K-State sixth.
He named Kansas' top signees as defensive lineman Ervin Holloman, Garden City Community College; quarterback Mario Kinesey, Waco, Texas; and wide receiver Jonathan J.T.' Thompson, Kilgore, Texas.
Big 12 Blitz (http://big12blitz.rivals.com/) recruiting agent Jeremy Crabtree rated Kansas' 2009 recruiting class as No. 6 in the Big 12 — ahead of K-State's recruiting class, which he ranked seventh. Crabtree gave Kansas' class a B, ranking it 31st in the nation. He also named wide receiver Roger Ross, from Garden City Community College, as Kansas' impact player. Brandon Watkins, a linebacker from Dallas, was Crabtree's most

Inside play is Cowgirls' downfall
By Melinda Weaver
Kansan sportswriter
If anyone can carry a team on her back, Jennifer Crow can. But Oklahoma State couldn't win — and didn't — Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse without a solid post game to complement its senior guard's scoring.
944 Mass.
832-8228
In a 75-58 loss to Kansas, Crow scored 30 points, shooting four-of-eight from three-point range.
However, with the exception of the other two starting guards, the remainder of the team went three-of-22 from the floor.
"Our inside kids just got whipped," said Oklahoma State coach Dick Halterman. "We three-of-20 from an area where we should be shooting 12-of-20. You're not going to beat anyone in the league shooting like that, especially not Kansas."
Kansas outscored Oklahoma State 42-20 in the paint as forwards Brooke Reves, Lynn Pride and Jaclyn Johnson all scored in double figures.
"I don't want to say it was a lack of intensity, but yeah, it was a lack of intensity," said Cowgirls sophomore guard Mandy Stuber. "We didn't play as hard as we should have. We need to work together. At times we play well, but it was a struggle."
Stuber said the team looked to Crow to make things happen, but against Kansas, that wasn't enough.
Still, Crow is a dangerous offensive threat.
SIM, CROW is a dangerous offensive threat. Against Missouri on Wednesday, she became the first Cowgirl in school history to record 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists and 150 steals.
And though much of the Big 12 talk revolves around Iowa State's Stacy Frese and Kansas' Pride, Crow is second in the conference in scoring behind Texas' Edwina Brown. Crow averages 20.6 points per game.
"She's the biggest asset of this team, and it's great playing with her," Stuber said. "When we're down, she tries to bring us back in and put points on the board. She's our best player."
Freshman point guard Chantoya Hawkins was the next highest scorer for the Cowgirls with 11 points, but she also had nine turnovers.
Kansas caused 17 turnovers by switching from zone to man-to-man defense, but Hawkins said it was not the Kansas defense that kept the Cowwirs from scoring inside.
"It wasn't Kansas as much as it was just us," Hawkins said. "At the end of the first half, we just stood around and didn't look for the open person like we did at the beginning of the game. We were just standing around on offense and defense."

Teams share common goal
The Jets play in front of 250 people. Pick a fan and ask him or her why they are there, odds are they're related to one of the players. The Jets warm up while DJ Kool shouts "Let me clear my throat!" on the sound system. Ironically, at this God-fearing school, AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" plays immediately before the tip.
The Jayhawks play in front of a rowdy, seething, crazed bunch of lifetime Kansas fans. Before the tip, fans put their arms around one another and sing the alma mater.
The Jets play basketball with reckless abandon. They shoot threes whenever they feel like it. They run and gun with Corey Rooney, their junior point guard, leading the attack. Corey played for Kirk Hinrich's father, Jim, at Sioux City West High School.
The Jets are hot from three-point land this evening. John Trapp, a senior, hits his third from behind the arc. His mouth doesn't stop flapping the entire way back down the court. He's loving life today, and wants to share his thoughts with his opponent.
The Jayhawks, for once, mix it up a little. Junior Eric Chenowith and sophomore Jeff Boschee watch as freshmen Kirk Hinrich and Drew Gooden play in their places. Shaved heads are more abundant as Nick Bradford and Kenny Gregory look like twin planet Saturns orbiting Texas Tech players.
But the Jayhawks recent road losses have brought the team back down to Earth. Willing to try anything short of black magic, the Hawks have made a deal with Coach Williams. If they win the conference, Coach shaves his head.
On a 12-game winning streak, the Jets are on the verge of running away with their
conference. If their opponents get one offensive rebound, Coach Mark Potter becomes enraged. There is no band to cover the screams of Potter in this small crowd. This is basketball unplugged.
Tolanda Charles, the hometown hero, gets a breakaway. As he goes up for the dunk, one of the opponents decks him, and the small crowd gasps. The first Jet on the scene grabs the bad guy, and threatens to kill him. Referees sprint, coaches scream, and players shove. The message is clear. You mess with one, you mess with the whole family.
Tonight the Jayhawks hit the road for Oklahoma State and another Big Monday game. When Kansas traveled to Iowa, its heart went somewhere else. On the road, a certain explosiveness disappears with the squad. The players have empty looks and slow thoughts. They go from a team that can dominate to a team that can screw up an unguarded inbounds pass.
After the Jets win, they run to the locker room. I go back to shake my best friend's hand. No press credentials required.
After the Jayhawks play, they are expected to be available to the media shortly after the Roy Williams' press conference. Microphones and lights shine in their faces as their performances are over-analyzed by reporters.
Two Kansas programs. One with history, one without. One team plays with glitz and glamour, the other with the bare essentials. One shaves its heads, and the state talks. The other simply punishes its opponents and enjoys the silence.

Track invitational benefits Jayhawks and smaller schools
Foster claimed two personal bests, one in each of her events. Her mark of 44 feet, nine inches won the shot put by nearly a foot, while her toss of 46 feet, eight inches was good enough for third in the 20-pound weight throw.
"I was really pleased overall," said Foster, whose last personal record was a year ago. "It was just great to get a PR [personal record] finally after so long."
Continued from page 1A
"It's always different when we're at home," Foster said. "We still had a lot of unity this weekend. The spirit may not have been as high as last weekend, but I think the six-hour bus ride contributed to that."
Now Foster, who has not officially qualified for this weekend's Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Neb., looks forward to Kansas' next home meet, the Pre-Conference Invitational on Feb. 18.
The 13 Jayhawks who did not take part in the bus ride to Cedar Falls competed in the Jayhawk Invitational Friday at Anschutz. The meet was sort of a late Christmas present to the junior colleges of Kansas and Missouri.
"It is a service meet," Schwartz said. "When you have an indoor facility, part of [your job] is to provide a service to colleges that don't have the facilities. We have a lot of jucos and Division II schools in the area, and it also provides a chance for our younger and unattached kids to compete."

Women lose to Norway in soccer coach's debut
The Americans gave up two goals in the last 10 minutes and lost 3-2 to Norway yesterday, souring April Heinrichs' debut as coach.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Playing with a new coach and a new contract, the U.S. women's soccer team was a long way from its World Cup glory.
The Associated Press
The U.S. team played without several members of the 1999 World Cup-winning squad: Michelle Akers, Lorie Fair, Cindy Parlow and Tisha Venturini.
The U.S. team is preparing for the Sydney Olympics, and this exhibition was its first game since it signed a new contract with the U.S. Soccer Federation and ended a boycott that had kept it out of a tournament in Australia.
Mia Hamm and Kristine Lilly scored for the United States. The goal was Hamm's 115th of her career, extending her record for
international goals by a man or woman.
Norway's winning goal came in the first minute of injury time. Dagny Mellgren's shot from 25 yards out beat goalkeeper Saskia Webber to the top left corner of the net.
Heinrichs, the star of the 1991 World Cup team that beat Norway in the championship game, replaced Tony DiCicco last month. She has seven months to put together a team for the Sydney Games.
Heinrichs used several young players yesterday. The move gave the rookies valuable experience, but it might have cost the United States the game.
Norway scored first on a penalty kick in the 19th minute by Hge Riise. The United States' Nandi Pryce, 17, tried to backpass to Webber. The weakly played ball was intercepted by Norway's Marianne Pettersen, forcing
Webber to come out and foul Pettersen.
But in the 81st minute, Webber misplayed a long pass from Anita Rapp, and the ball went into the net.
After the misplay, Pryce put both hands over her mouth and appeared to be in disbelief.
The game appeared headed for a tie until Norway — the only team with a winning record, 11-10-2, against the U.S. team — scored on the long shot by Mellgren.
Lilly's unassisted goal In the 71st minute put the Americans ahead 2-1.
The U.S. team tied it in the 25th minute. Shannon MacMillan delivered a perfect cross to the mouth of the goal, and a diving Hamm headed the ball past goalkeeper Bente Nordby.
At the time of the winning goal, the Americans had two 17-year-olds, two 18-year-olds and one 19-year-old on the field.
U.S. squad advances in Davis Cup
Woodruff leads team to first-round victory against Zimbabwe
The Associated Press
HARARE, Zimbabwe — The United States stayed alive in the Davis Cup yesterday, with Chris Woodruff winning the final match that gave a relieved and tearful John McEnroe a victory in his first test as captain.
Woodruff, facing immense pressure as a Davis Cup rookie, defeated Wayne Black 6-3, 6-2 (7) 6-2, 6-4 and helped give the United States a 3-2 first-round victory.
After the winning point, Woodruff threw his racquet in the air. He and McEnroe ran to each other and embraced. McEnroe briefly wept, and the other U.S. players mobbed the pair.
"I've aged like five years in a week." McEnroe said.
The U.S. team, in its first Davis Cup matches in Africa, faced a difficult road yesterday after Alex O'Brien and Rick Leach lost the doubles match to Wayne Black and Kevin Ullytt.
Woodruff's victory sent the United States into the second round. The United States will play at home against the Czech Republic in April.
A weakened Andre Agassi — so sick he vomited on the court — did his part earlier in the day, beating Black's brother — Byron Black — 6-2, 6-3, 7-6 (4) and tied the best-of-5 series.
That set the stage for
Woodruff, who looked stiff and shaken in his opening singles defeat Friday. But he responded when he had to, just as McEnroe hoped he would.
The United States had Agassi in the opening singles match. But while that victory seemed secure, Woodruff remained the big question mark.
That left the Zimbabweans one victory shy of a great upset in a confrontation Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe called the dwarfs against the giants.
1
Woodruff, ranked 37th in the world, was coming off a strong Australian Open in which he lost to Pete Sampras in the quarterfinals. Only now the stakes were higher — he was playing for his country, with McEnroe stalking the sideline.
"I'm going to have to put on my capd think," McEnroe had
said, wondering how he could motivate Woodruff for such a pressurized match.
He left the court at the City Sports Center following his victory without his trademark bows to the crowd. In the locker room, Agassi was cramping and vomiting severely, the team doctor said.

Agassi was distraught with altitude sickness and dehydration. After winning a shot, he vomited into a box behind a line judge's spot.
McEnroe probably was even more stressed after Agassi's match.

Jayhawks get new look
Lineup, hairdos change in win against Tech

Kansan sportwriter
Nothing like a little cellar-dweller to right all the wrongs.
No. 15 Kansas roughed up the lastplace team in the Big 12 Conference on Saturday afternoon, rocking the Texas Tech Red Raiders 87-62 in Allen Fieldhouse.
Ten Jayhawks sported freshly shaven heads as Kansas (17-5, 6-2) brought an end to a two-game losing streak.

That defense clamped down on Texas Tech shooter Rayford Young, who last year torched Kansas for 41 points in a 90-84 Red Raider win in Lubbock, Texas.
"After losing all those games, we were really anxious," said Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich. "We ran a lot harder, and our defense was a lot better."
On Saturday, Young scored only 13 points on five-for-13 shooting from the floor.
"Rayford's hard to handle," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "But I think that we were inspired to play better. It's been a rocky road, and I think when you lose three out of four
games, it's cause for concern for everybody."
There was so much cause for concern that Williams tinkered with Kansas' starting lineup for the first time this season. Gone from the lineup were center Eric Chenowith and point guard Jeff Boschie, with freshmen Drew Gooden and Hinrich replacing them.
Gooden scored 14 points and grabbed
eight boards, while Chenowith took only four shots on his way to four points and four rebounds. Hinrich tied a career-high with 9 points, while Boschie played a team-high 27 minutes and scored 13 points.
"I think Coach was just trying to stir things up a little bit," said Chenowith, who didn't start for the first time since 1998. "He's trying to make us work a little bit harder in practice and a little bit harder in games. He's got the attitude where he doesn't want to have any regrets at the end of the season."
Williams said he didn't know if the Jayhawks would use the same starting lineup when Kansas takes on Oklahoma State at 8 p.m. tonight at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla.
The outcome of tonight's game could have a big impact on the Big 12 standings. The Cowboys are tied with Iowa State and Missouri for first place in the Big 12, and the Jayhawks are one game back of all three.
There is still no word on when Lester Earl or Luke Axtell will return to the Kansas lineup. Earl was suspended indefinitely from the team two weeks ago when he was picked up on suspicion of drunken driving. Axtell is out indefinitely because of a medical condition.
"With Lester, it's not a 24-hour suspension," Williams said. "It's something I felt was very serious. When it's time for Lester to come back I will notify everybody. And when it's time for Luke to come back, Luke will let me know, and then we'll go from there."

University records kept safe
Secret off-campus sites house back-up transcripts
By Doug Pacey
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
ad Strong Hall burned to the ground Saturday night, student transcripts and records still would be available at a secret off-campus location.
"We've got another location with all the records that I would prefer not to disclose," said Richard Morrell, University registrar. "It is within 100 miles of the campus, though. It's not a building, but it is a secured site."
Morrell said that although the University stored things inside limestone caves in the Kansas City area, the registrar's office records were not there. The registrar's records have been stored at their secret location for nine years, he said.
Meanwhile, the Kansas Collection, items documenting Kansas history that are housed a few dozen yards north of Strong Hall in Spencer Research Library, also has an off-campus site. Microfilm and other items have been kept in the salt mines of Hutchinson for about five years, said Becky Schulte, assistant curator of the Kansas Collection.
"Most of our stuff is original, so it's not duplicated." she said. "We don't have a lot there."
Schulte also said that she thought the University kept things in limestone caves in Kansas City.
"We've got another location with all the records that I would prefer not to disclose. It is within 100 miles of the campus, though."
Richard Morrell
University registrar
The off-campus sites are not the only places where records are kept, though. Morrell said the registrar's office kept records at another building on campus — he wouldn't say which — and backed them up electronically with Academic Technology Services at the computer center. The office electronically scans each transcript and puts them on a video cassette, he said.
The Office of Student Financial Aid also keeps its files backed up electronically at the computer center, said Brenda Maigaard, associate director of student financial aid.
Morrell said that the Registrar's office could not ensure students that their records would always be available but that he thought it was doing the best job it could.
Maigaard said the office checked with ATS each year to make sure that its records still were available.
"If a tornado goes through Lawrence and destroys all the buildings, then we've got the off-campus site," he said. "We can't ensure students 100 percent, but we've taken the right steps to do that."
Shooting suspect arrested in Topeka
By Katina Hull
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Topeka police and KU Public Safety Officers made an arrest yesterday in connection with the Jan. 23 shooting at the Burge Union.
Byron Kirtdoll, 22, was arrested shortly before noon in Topeka on the charge of wounding a student in the early morning of Jan. 23 at a dance party sponsored by the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.
Gregory J. Davis, Denver senior, was shot in the hip in the Frontier Room at the party, which between 300 and 400 people attended.
Kirtdoll is not a KU student, KU Public Safety Officer Troy Mailen said.
Quincy Garner, Alpha Phi Alpha president, said Kirtdoll was not connected with the fraternity.
Mailen said he didn't know if Kirddoll had attended previous parties at the University.
He also said he couldn't say if a weapon had been found on Kirtdoll because the information was part of the investigation. A judge issued a warrant for Kirtdoll's arrest last week. Mailen said.
Kirddoll was booked at the Shawnee County Department of Corrections yesterday afternoon. He was transferred to the Douglas County Jail and booked on charges of aggravated battery. A jail employee said there was a Kansas Department of Corrections hold on Kirddoll, so he could not post bond to leave.
Kirtdoll's first appearance is scheduled for 4 p.m. tomorrow at the jail.
Information leading to the arrest was obtained through KU Crime Stoppers and witnesses' accounts of the shooting. Officers will review the information before they determine the amount of the Crime Stoppers award. Mailen said.
He also encouraged people with any further details regarding the shooting to come forward.

director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Alcohol and other drugs were blamed for problems at African-American Greek parties — such as the one where a shooting occurred Jan. 23 — last night at a town hall meeting.
The meeting at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union followed a Black Student Union meeting and was led by Robert Page, associate
Page said the meeting was planned in response to the shooting of Gregory J. Davis, Denver senior, and because campus violence had to be addressed.
"As you all know, campus violence happens in many different formats." Page said. "We felt, as the Black Student Union, we had to address some things."

Music professor spoofs Westerns, rides away with Grammy nod
By BriAnne Hess
Kansan staff writer
Chris Moore, assistant professor of music, said he used to dream he'd be nominated for a Grammy. His dream has now come true.
JOHN JONES
On Feb. 23, Moore will rejoin members of The Chestnut Brass Co. at the Grammy Awards as a nominee.
The nomination came as a complete surprise to Moore, who didn't even know that the composer, Peter Schickele, had submitted the CD for consideration.
"I never thought in my life that I'd be nominated for a Grammy," Moore said. He said that the classical crossover category was reserved for when a classical artist played something that was kind of hip. Moore described the CD as being tongue-in-cheek classical music.
The crossover award will be presented during the nontelevised portion of the six-hour ceremony. Only 12 of the 100 categories will be televised.
The group was nominated in the Best Classical Crossover Album for the CD Hornsmoke.
Moore was a member of the professional brass quintet, in which he played trumpet from 1994 to 1996, when they recorded Hornsmoke. He said he stopped playing with them when he opted to teach at the university level again and was tired of living out of a suitcase 150 days a year. He has been at the University of Kansas since 1996.

had decided not to go to the Grammy ceremony, but after his colleagues told him he'd be nuts to miss it, he reconsidered.
"She's the main motivator behind me going." Moore said. "This is our opportunity that we can both go and enjoy an event."
The quintet recorded Hornsmoke in 1996, but it was not released until 1998, making it eligible for this year's award. The disc is divided into three main pieces, "Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Major (Ole)", "Brass Calendar" and "Hornsmoke (A Horse Opera)." Moore said his favorite piece was "Brass Calendar," the 12-part compilation which refers to a specific holiday each month of the year.
"The most fun one to play is 'Calendar'." Moore said. "For the musical mile, it offers the most. The piece 'Hornsmoke' is musical candy."
The horse opera is a narrative with musical accompaniment about the building of the Old West.
In the album's cover notes, Schickele wrote that he selected the extremely
cliched plot from most grade B Western movies and put in a voice-over when narrative was necessary. Schickele provided the narration for the opera and accompanied the quintet for the piano

Study Abroad Fair held today in Kansas Union
The fair is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the fourth floor in the Kansas Union.
Students wanting to get out of the country for a semester can begin their journey at the Study Abroad Fair. The fair is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today
He said the University of Kansas had programs in 48 countries, some with multiple locations within a country
at the lunch in the Kansas union.
David Wiley, outreach coordinator for the Office of Study Abroad, said the fair would have 34 tables with representatives from about 60 programs.
Wiley said the fair also would have eight outside organizations that existed solely to put on study abroad programs.
The last Study Abroad Fair was in September, Wiley said, but this one would be more inclusive because students could find information about programs for Summer 2000, Fall 2000 and Spring 2001.
"We're hoping for even higher attendance for this one," he said.
But because Kansas can coordinate with other colleges and universities, students' options are not limited, she said.
Amy Timak, study abroad coordinator for Spanish language programs, said the University had Spanish language programs in Spain, Costa Rica and Mexico. But because Kansas can coordinate
"We can send students just about anywhere else," Timkar said. "We take care of the administrative side."
Timkar said she hoped people would be out and about and able to stop by the fair because of the nice weather.

Students able to view election code changes
A draft of the 2000 elections code including proposed changes is available for review.
Complaints about proposed changes must be filed by Friday. Those complaints will be heard by the elections commission Feb. 16.
Zora Mulligan, elections commissioner, said that although the changes usually were reviewed by coalitions and those running for Student Senate, all interested students were encouraged to look at the changes.
- Erinn R. Barcomb
Mulligan said that rumors about dramatic changes in the code were untrue. Most of the proposed changes deal with wording and definitions.
Washington internships open to all students
KU students will have an opportunity to apply for internships at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., tomorrow in the Kansas Union.
Judy Schroeder, an inter-coordinator for Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., will
be at Alcove G from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., talking to students interested in positions in Roberts' office.
Interested students can stop by to ask Schroeder questions anytime during the lunch hour.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said the meetings would be informational and that Schroeder was looking for summer intents as well as intends for a semester.
He said he encouraged students from all majors to stop by.
"This is for students interested in issues from foreign relations to agriculture, or those that want a taste of what an internship in Washington, D.C., is like," Loomis said.

Lester Earl to appear in court this afternoon
Kansas forward Lester Earl is sched- uled to make his first appearance today at Douglas County District Court in connec tion with his Jan. 23 arrest in Eudora.
He is charged with one count of driving while intoxicated, one count of driving with a suspended license and one count of speeding, District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said.
Eudora police officer Peter Casagrande pulled Earl over for speeding at 3 a.m. in the 1400 block of Church Street, said Bill Long, chief of Eudora police. Court records show that Earl was traveling 47 mph in a 30 mph zone.
field sobriety tests indicated Earl had been drinking, Long said, and police arrested him.
At Earl's 3 p.m. appearance today, the judge will set a date for trial. Tonkovich said.
If found guilty, Earl could face suspension or loss of driving privileges, community service hours, up to six months in jail or any combination of the three.
In late August, Lawrence police arrested Earl on a warrant for failure to appear after he did not appear at Lawrence Municipal Court for two traffic violations — speeding and driving with a suspended license.
Long said there were three passengers in Earl's vehicle when he was pulled over in Eudora, but he would not release their names. Court records indicate that the Kansas forward was driving a 2000 Mitsubishi with a Louisiana license plate that read "EZ2ENJOY."
Kansas basketball coach Roy Williams indefinitely suspended Earl from the team Jan. 24. The 6-foot-8, 230-pound senior has not participated in games or traveled with the team since.

Naked man injured while vandalizing cars
LAWRENCE
A naked vandal ended up in the hospital instead of jail after shattering windows in three cars at a Lawrence residence yesterday.
Denese Cabana, who lives in the duplex, said she heard banging noises and went outside.
Lawrence Police were called about 4:15 p.m. yesterday to a duplex at the corner of 29th Street Terrace and Missouri Street, where a 19-year-old naked man was breaking the windows of cars parked in the driveway, said Set. David Hubbel.
"Some freaky naked man came and beat the windows out of my car," she said.
Cabana, who said she did not know the man, screamed at the man to stop, then went inside and called police.
In addition to several large sticks and a broken spade, the man was breaking the windows with a track and field hammer attached to a wire. The men's first kick left the
The man's final blow left the passenger side of Cabana's windshield bloody.
when the man struck the windshield, the hammer broke through the glass and ended up on the floorboards of the car, followed by his hand.
The man's arm was still stuck in the windshield when police arrived. Hubbel said the wire punctured the man's hand — entering his palm and coming out between two of his fingers.
Hubel said that he didn't know if the man was under the influence of drugs but that the man never threatened to hurt anyone and was not arrested as of last night. He estimated the damages were more than $500 on each vehicle, which could bring felony charges later.
Officers used bolt cutters to cut the wire and free his hand.
Paramedics treated the man before transporting him to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Students help choose new furniture
By Jessie Meyer

Kansan staff writer
By Jessie Mever
Several mock bedroom sets are set up in the lobby of Ellsworth Hall, and the Department of Student Housing is asking for students' opinion on the new designs.
"We set up the furniture to invite input from the students," said Carol von Tersch, assistant director of student housing. "We have to have new furniture after the hall is renovated, and I'd like to have their opinion."
Ashley Frazier, Dallas sophomore, said she thought the furniture in the lobby was a lot nicer than the pieces Ellsworth
"It's definitely better," Frazier said. "I think this furniture would utilize the space better."
had now.
If selected, the furniture, provided by Omni International Inc., of Vernon, Ala., would be used in Elsworth after its renovation, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. But, Stoner said, the renovation still was at least a year away.
"It looks a lot better than the furniture that is in there now." Frazier said of the mock bedroom set pieces. "Right now, the mattresses are grungy and the desks are grungy."
Von Tersch said that the furniture would not be placed in every hall and that it would be
placed in residence halls only after renovations. Ellsworth will be renovated next.
She said Lewis and Templin halls, which recently were renovated, had new furniture already in place.
Because the Ellsworth renovation project is only in the design stage, no specific budget has been set to pay for the furniture.
Von Tersch also said several different furniture styles could be chosen, depending on the type of room in which it would be used.

The KU Public Safety Office responded to medical problem at 1:38 a.m. Sunday at Corbin Hall. According to a police report, the subject, an 18-year-old KU student, was complaining of "the common symptoms of having ingested a large quantity of beer" (vomiting). After being examined by paramedics, the student declined to be taken to the hospital.
The KU Public Safety Office responded to a fire alarm at 11:51 p.m. Saturday in Jayhawker Towers. Upon arrival, police determined the alarm had been triggered by a bag of burnt popcorn at a fifth-floor apartment in Tower D.

University lacks time, funds to replace electrical units
By Sara Shepherd
By Sara Shepherd
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff write
Some campus transformers such as the one that exploded on the north side of Strong Hall Saturday
— are old and overloaded, but University officials say they don't have the money to replace the electrical units.
Saturday's explosion, which caused a small fire and cut off power to wall outlets inside the building, was the fourth transformer failure at the University of Kansas since Sept. 1997.
University architect Warren Corman said the exact age of the unit that exploded behind Strong Hall was unknown — the name plates were burned and no records were available. However, he said several sources who had been at the University a long time thought the unit had been there for 40 to 50 years.
It's an outlier. Cornelius said, D.D. Robb, a consulting engineer in Salina and former KU professor of electrical engineering, said it was not uncommon for transformers to last up to 40 or 50 years, providing they were not overloaded. He said failure could be a result of either old age, overloading or a combination of
the two.
Corman said the combination of old age and technological devices that draw large amounts of power might have led to the transformer's failure.
"The load has gotten a lot heavier on it," Corman said. "It was both overloaded and worn-out."
To give an example of the increased power used, Corman said the 4,000-volt unit would be replaced with a 12,000-volt one — eventually.
Corman said money for any campus electrical updates had to be appropriated first by the Kansas Legislature because the University was a state institution.
"We usually replace them whenever we get the money," Corman said. "And that's hard to get."
Until then, the transformer's original workload is being covered by a generator, at a cost of more than $5,000 per month, Corman said. He said a new transformer would cost about $30,000.
Mike Richardson, director of facilities operations, said about 60 transformers on campus were more than 25 or 30 years old. He said campus transformers had been updated as much as possible with funds from the Crumbling Classrooms Project, a Regents-issued bond to finance campus upgrades.
"There's no regulations at all," Richardson said.
Richardson said workers were not required by law to check the units.
Richardson said that the University tried to keep the units maintained but that scheduling a time was difficult. Because workers must physically touch wires in the units to clean and test them, Richardson said testing and maintenance required a complete power outage.
"There's never a convenient time to do that," he said. "It's been a real problem for us. In order to perform the maintenance, you have to have the power outage."
Corman said that several on-campus transformers had failed in the past but that none exploded or caught on fire like the one at Strong Hall.
"They're not dangerous," Corman said. "It just means they don't work anymore."
Richardson said the cause of the explosion still was being investigated.
He also said that electrical system updating plans were in progress so that workers would be able to isolate smaller sections of campus at a time for power outages.
Meeting addresses campus shooting
Continued from page 1A
Floyd Cline, St. Charles, Mo., senior, blamed alcohol — which is not allowed at the functions.
"People come in the door drunk," Cline said. "I don't know what the solution is."
Another problem addressed at the meeting was the fact that African-American Greek fraternities did not have houses and had to have their functions on campus. When something happens on campus, it gets more attention, many said.
Page said that the parties were one of the only places for African-American students to gather.
"Do you go downtown?" Page said. "No, because it doesn't meet your needs."
Page asked the crowd what its suggestions were in preventing problems such as the shooting.
Terrell L. McTyer, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said the problem wasn't security.
"There was a high amount of security," McTyer said. "Even if we had all of KU P.D. or the National Guard, a weapon can still get through."
Some in the crowd said that problems at parties may have been caused by two groups: people who came from as far away as Wichita and football players. The crowd then discussed if limiting the number of non-KU students would help.
"As a people, I think exclusion should be the last thing in our mind since we have been excluded from so much in the past," McTyer said.
The crowd also discussed how African Americans were covered in the media. Many said that coverage of African Americans focused only on negative events.
"Are we making an epidemic out of one event?" said Brad Harrrah, St. Joseph, Mo., graduate student.

Fate of education board should be outcome of November elections
In the recent furlor about the Kansas State Board of Education's decision to remove some references to evolution from statewide curriculum, the board itself has been sharply criticized.
Some, including Gov. Bill Graves included, have proposed that the board's role should be reduced to one of an advisory committee. With the proposed restructuring, the actual voting and implementation of curriculum would revert to the Kansas Legislature.
Clearly, this move greatly would reduce the State Board of Education's power, leaving final decisions concerning education in the hands of legislators who were not elected to specifically concentrate on education.
This proposal also would insulate the
The electorate will address concerns about the state board through the coming vote
Board from the direct vote of its constituency. The decision regarding who sits on the Board would no longer be contingent upon direct vote, but rather upon appointment.
How long would these appointments last? Is this a decision that the governor would make alone or would the appointees face committee approval from the Legislature?
The concern is that the recent uproar is based upon one issue — evolution. In the last few years, there hasn't been this
The Board of Education was formed to ensure that Kansas school children would receive similar educations. It has fulfilled this duty. Somehow lost in the upraster is the fact that the members of the board were elected by the citizens of Kansas.
Therefore, the present structure should not be altered. The citizens of Kansas voted to place these members on the Board. By that same process they may remove them.
Let the election in November be a referendum on the recent decision concerning evolution. That's the beauty of democracy — the power rests in the aspirant vote.

McCain's victory invigorates race
Drew Ryun for the editorial board
John McCain's victory in New Hampshire last week has injected much-needed excitement into a race that previously had resembled a coronation.
For months, many people have bemoaned the fact that George W. Bush had seemingly already sealed a victory before any elections had taken place. Whether it was polls or campaign contributions, political pundits had written off any Republican's chance of upsetting the governor from Texas. And even before the first caucus in Iowa, Bush's apparent invincibility had prompted John Kasich. Elizabeth Dole, and former Vice President Dan Quayle to drop out of what was increasingly being seen as nothing more than preparation for Bush's eventual nomination.
Results in New Hampshire force George W. Bush to take stance on campaign issues
McCain's victory sends a clear message that there must be real elections before someone actually can win one
Bush's immense campaign coffers have been noted as strong evidence that Bush cannot lose. It is ironic, then, that McCain was able to instill hope in our democratic system by defeating big money, not with campaign finance reform, but merely with a primary victory. Despite having only a cintilla of the money that Bush has, McCain was able to slay the wealthy dragon.
nation is good for an American electorate that can now witness what will hopefully be a hard-fought, issues-driven campaign. Without competition, Bush would be able to get away with revealing very little about himself. Perhaps Bush will win the nomination despite McCain's recent boost, but now he will be forced to further distinguish his stances on a number of issues. If in fact Bush is the better choice, he will win the nomination because voters have chosen him, rather than because he is the Republican establishment's choice.
A real race for the Republican nomi-
As John McCain's odds of winning increase, so does the entertainment value of the race for president. Choice is a benchmark of a true democracy, and McCain's triumph has provided Republicans with that choice.

Fellow fish,beware of laxly coined analogies
A buddy of mine once proclaimed this beer inspired analogy, and though his elaborations were quite detailed, he said basically any prize fish in his allegorical water world was akin to him and those friendly to his cause.
People are like fish.
Perspective
YUAN CHEN
This in contrast to the cop who just slapped him with a ticket or the professor who barely passed him last semester — those sorts were likened to the bottom-feeders or even to non-fish such as the menacing snapping turtle.
PhiI
Caution columnist
opinion@kansan.com
You can see just how far this analogy might be carried. The beautiful rainbow trout, the majestic goldfish, the intelligent dolphin, or the murderous piranha, to name but a few, all make convenient subjects for comparison to any human's perceived reality.
My first reaction was to applaud my friend. It was truly brilliant, albeit not exceedingly insightful and probably not entirely original. Surely some ancient text somewhere used just such an illustration to help make sense of an otherwise bewildering world.
More eloquent thinkers have boiled down life much more convincingly, shaping the infinitely complex into comprehensible Jello molds of truth (with little carrot shavings floating inside). But I have become suspect of analogies of late because they often can be used to illustrate both sides of an argument, all with the same metaphor.
dy analogies stand like oaks of old, pruned and fertilized by grandmothers and judges. They are the ancestors of, if anything, the less banal bumper sticker.
For example: "Better to light but one candle than to curse the darkness." A less critical take of this seeming truth might extract the biblical "love thy enemy." However, if one considers that loving thy enemy might enrage thy enemy, then is that really love? Would it not be better to light their darkness with explosives? (Empirically, we might ask Castro, Kadafi Hussein, his kidnake, Miloescik.)
Take one such analogy coined by another friend: "Being born into life's b.s. is like being born with your foot on fire. But adequate drinking or smoking certain plants makes the fire a bit more bearable." Good enough. But without much modification, the opposite point seems equally plausible: Pot and port wine also can make you too incoherent to put out the fire.
(Belcham, Martin, Binder, Macsievic ...)
As you can see, if you play with the proverbial matches called analogies, you may get burned by anything from naivete to absurdity. But surely somewhere burns the flame of truth! But I'm thinking out loud, or rather, on paper.
So it seems that careless analogies serve the user's end, leaving out bothersome details. After all, both gar and 20-pound bass are slimy. These wavering homegrown varieties are now taining my reverence for those analogies that embody such truth that one only need understand them to love them and to use them frequently. These stur-
The truth is, often I don't really know what I think. Maybe that's a sort of Socratic wisdom or perhaps just a symptom of a politically correct generation raised to not take a stand on anything. At any rate, I will soon be an intern in Washington, D.C., ever so slightly beginning to emerge from this comfortable college cocoon by way of a newspaper internship.
As I expect to be asked, "So what do you think of D.C.?" when I arrive, I have prepared a few analogies; D.C. is like the University of Kansas. Being insulated from the "real" world allows the people of D.C. to deal with real world issues from an objective distance, but that distance severs them from the real world.
D. C. is like a mechanic's shop. The esoteric work done there lends itself to gouging those for whom the coterie works. Don't expect to get past the door into the garage. And don't be too surprised if your car still doesn't work.
D. C. is like a tropical rain forest. The careful eye spots quetzal senators and sinecure weevils. Countless parasites lurk in search of a lucrative warm lobby. Tourists should stay on marked paths.
D. C. is like the pearly gates of heaven. All the buildings are white.
D. C. is like a woman. Ooh! Wait a minute.

Bad 'carma' illuminates chronic local vandalism

A s I was leaving for work a couple of weekends ago, I was startled to find several broken pieces of my blue Ford Taurus living in the snow.
I bent down to pick up the dirty, ice-covered fiberglass and plastic scraps from the ground. I was overwhelmed with anger and frustration as I stood dumbfounded and freezing in the apartment complex parking lot.

leaving the damaged left panel, side bumper and tail light for me to find and fix alone.
The irritating part is that all of this is because of someone else's mistake.
I realize this instance is by no means unusual — I'm no different from the other innocent people who come out of their homes to unexpectedly find a new bent fender or dent.
What made that Saturday morning even more discouraging was the memory of the previous Saturday morning.
Fortunately, the car still

runs and the damage can be fixed. On the other hand, it will require a significant amount of paperwork and time working with the insurance agency and body shop. And there is the hassle of finding an alternate mode of transportation while the car is tied up in the shop.
Detective John Lewis with the Lawrence Police Department said there were usually one or two cases of vandalism reported each week, including anything from what happened to my sister's car to a brick through a windshield.
The frequency of vandalism is apparent in the Kansan's "On the Record" section on page 2A, which lists information about police reports filed by University of Kansas students.
her side mirrors. Again, the car still ran and the relatively little damage could be fixed.
Dealing with vandalism damage is especially frustrating because it appears to be intentional, whereas a hit and run initially could have been an accident. Like hit and runs, vandalism is not uncommon.
But even with such precautions, these things do happen. As a friend told me, there's nothing I can do about it except fix it and move on.
That should be easy to do — unless this Saturday morning becomes the third one I spend investigating car damage.
O'Toole is a Wichita junior in journalism and English.
Before I became a statistic. I was not fully aware of the problem. Luckily, insurance could help pay for the repairs in my case.
Although I'd take a hit and run or act of vandalism more than than a more serious injury accident, both cases were aggravating. Nobody, including me, likes to have property damaged.
Although both cars were parked in fairly well-lighted areas, I will be even more aware of where I choose to park in the future. I also will be observant of any suspicious-looking activity around other parked cars. Maybe I can help someone else avoid the displeasure that accompany hit and runs and vandalism
Theory of evolution scientifically valid
Feedback
Drew Ryun's guest column a couple weeks ago contained several factual errors: "There is no ... evidence for the theory of evolution."
All species are genetically related, as now confirmed by the Human Genome Project. New species, such as HIV, have evolved in our lifetimes.
"The board only removed macro-evolution."
They actually removed many topics: the Big Bang, geological
timeline, global warming and radioactive dating of rocks.
Scientific theory is a framework for understanding observations. Evolution is no more a guess than is the heliocentric theory or the germ theory of disease. Nobody expects "opposing views" of these theories to be taught. The only reason for disputing evolution is ideological.
"The jury is still out on ... evolution."
"I'm not against theory being taught, just ... remember it's theory." "Debate ... scientific evidence, not ideology."
The scientific community overwhelmingly is (100 percent in a 1998 poll) behind evolution, ever since the discovery of chromosomal segregation provided a mechanism for it. Any competing theory must explain all of the evidence of evolution to be accepted.
"How is it that one .. cell contains more information than .. the Encyclopedia?"
If you want to know, take genetics, but in short; Ancient creatures had less information; then they evolved.

Two planes collide above Los Angeles
The Associated Press
Tuesday. February 8. 2000
LOS ANGELES — Two small airplanes collided yesterday, sending one craft crashing and burning onto a golf course and the other into trees across a freeway. At least four people were killed.
Golfer Danny Garza said he ran for his life.
Gober Danny Garza said he ran for his life.
"All I hear is like an explosion, and as I look up I see this plane coming straight down and it looks like it got entangled in some telephone wires," Garza told KNBC-TV. "And from then on I just kept running, thinking that these telephone wires were going to fall on me."
One plane hit on the sixth hole of Cascade Golf Course, in the Sylmar section of Los Angeles about 25 miles northwest of downtown. The other fell on the opposite side of Interstate 5, the main north-south route
between northern and Southern California.
Several shaken motorists pulled to the side of the freeway.
"I thought it was an air show," said Gus Echeverri, who was driving to work. "Then he spiraled down, nose-dived and clipped the power line. I saw it when it hit the (golf course), and there was a big ball of fire."
Fire Capt. Steve Ruda said there were at least four dead, two from each plane. No one on the ground was hurt, authorities said.
Rescuers were checking beneath the debris for more bodies and searching for a body in nearby hills, officials said.
"Witnesses are saying that someone may have fallen out of one of the airplanes." Fire Department representative Bob Collis said. "Firefighters are trying to confirm that report."
Dogs were brought in to assist in the search. Neither plane reported problems beforehand, said Federal Aviation Administration representative Kirsti Dunn.
It was unclear where the other plane, a Bellanca Citationa, was headed. Dunn said,
Both planes had been in contact with the nearby Van Nuys airport, Dunn said. One, an experimental plane, had told the tower there that it was heading for the airport, but when air-traffic controllers answered, the plane did not respond. Dunn said.
Golfer Peter Seldran said he and others heard a loud bang then saw a red plane crash across the freeway. The other plane came down just 20 feet away, he said.
"It was real scary," Seldran said. "We felt the debris come down. Some parts of the wings came down close to us."
Hijacked plane lands in England after takeover by Afghan rebels
The Associated Press
STANSTED, England — Authorities waged hours of negotiations yesterday with apparent Afghan dissidents holding a planeload of at least 150 people hostage at an airport outside London.
Officials did not disclose what political demands, if any, the hijackers put forth. But a diplomat familiar with earlier negotiations when the plane landed in Moscow said those holding the plane sought to free a prisoner held in the Afghan city of Kandahar.
Afghan media speculated the hijackers were Afghan dissidents who sought the release of Ismail Khan, a former regional governor who has been held since 1997 by Afghanistan's ruling Taliban movement. Khan is a member of Afghanistan's opposition alliance, which rules about 10 percent of the war-shattered country.
John Broughton, assistant chief constable of the Essex Police, said that upon arrival in Britain, the hijackers requested only food, water, unspecified medical supplies and that the lavatories on the Afghan state-run Ariana Airlines plane be emptied.
"Negotiations remain our favorite option."
said Joe Edwards, another assistant chief constable. "I will say it could be a very protracted technique. It could go on for days."
Mohammad Bashir Mahal, a passenger freed in Moscow, told reporters yesterday that the hijackers treated the passengers well.
they were all young — around 25-30 years old, dressed in traditional Afghan costume and to begin with they were threatening," he said in Pashhtu. "But slowly, their aggression subsided and they treated us quite well. No one was beaten or insulted. Relations were good."
The Boeing 727 was seized by an unknown number of hijackers shortly after takeoff early Sunday on an Ariana flight from the Afghan capital, Kabul, headed to the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif.
Before landing early yesterday at Stansted, about 25 miles north of London, the hijackers had freed 22 hostages in return for supplies during earlier stops in Uzbekistan, Kazakstan and Russia.
Authorities said they could not confirm the nationalities of what were believed to be 157 hostages remaining on the airliner. They disclosed that one passenger has a serious kidney illness, but said they did not know if that person was among those released.
Steven Spielberg undergoes surgery, recovers at home
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Steven Spielberg underwent surgery for an irregularity on a kidney and was recovering at home.
A statement issued yesterday through the director's spokesman was unclear on whether the irregularity or the kidney was removed. Spokesman Marv Levy said he did not know.
during a routine physical examination. Steven Spielberg's doctor discovered an irregularity on his kidney," the statement said. "Subsequently it was removed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. A complete recovery is promised and no follow-up treatment is necessary."
Levy could not say when the surgery was performed on the 53-year-old director, whose films include Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, E.T. the Extraterrestrial, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Amistad.
The Director's Guild of America is scheduled to give Spielberg its Lifetime Achievement Award on March 11.

Students get picked up by a KU on Wheels bus in front of Learned Hall. Thanks to an excess in Student Senate money, the Learned Hall stop and other bus stops may receive new bus shelters.
Proposal may add campus bus shelters
By Erin R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students using KU on Wheels don't always have a great place to wait for the buses, especially when there is rain, sleet or snow.
But the bus stops in front of Stauffer-Flint and Learned halls could get new shelters, thanks to $300,000 in extra Student Senate money.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, said he wanted to see leftover money go toward capital improvements at the University.
"I want to do a big project," Maxwell said. "I don't want to parcel it out to one group at a time."
The proposal asks members of the American Institute of Architecture Students to submit possible bus shelter designs for the Learned Hall stop. The architecture students also would build the stops.
Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator, said the open space near Learned would make construction of a shelter easier. Any additional bus shelters, except for the Stauffer-Flint shelter, would be more difficult because of a concern for open space on Jayhawk Boulevard.
The shelters also would incorporate bulletin board space because non-University advertising was restricted to designated areas.
Maxwell said the idea would be proposed to the administration first and then taken to Senate for finance approval. Senate would have to provide money for capital expenses, such as a cash prize for the best design submitted by students at the conference, he said.
Allison Beck, Overland Park senior and architecture senator, said the KU chapter of AIAS wanted to build them.
Beck said she expected about 10 to 15 universities to participate in the design contest. Students would be encouraged to submit designs in groups, which means schools could have more than one entry, Beck said.
"I think this will be a big draw to the conference," she said. "Everyone seems really excited."
Krebs said that because the city of Lawrence was showing a greater interest, shelters would boost a city-wide transportation system.
"If these two projects work,we'd like to see them in other places," she said.
City may limit sex-themed shops
By John Audelehme
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
The City of Lawrence may decide tonight if and how to regulate sex stores in Lawrence.
The City Commission will receive a proposal to limit the locations of adult-themed stores to commercial districts and certain streets, and to keep them designated distances from schools, churches, residential districts and each other.
Recommendations to the commission also include an amortization period, which means that existing businesses not conforming to the
city's laws would have to conform after a certain period of time.
City Commission
Mayor Erv Hodges said he was pleased with the proposal and expected a good debate at the meeting.
"I think the principles set
Hodges said those principles included not restricting free speech but also not disrupting churches and schools.
forth in that are what we're looking for," he said.
Hodges said he liked the proposal because it differentiated between stores that had a limited selection of adult materials and stores whose sole business was sex and pornography.
The manager of Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Sherri Quick, manager of Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., said she did not want to comment.
David Corliss, director of legal services for the city, said the proposal divided businesses into three categories.
Businesses with as much as 10 percent inventory or floor space devoted to sex-oriented materials, would have no restrictions, he said.
Those with 10 to 40 percent must have the materials blocked off, Corliss said, and businesses with more than 40
According to the proposal, stores would be limited to 23rd Street east of Iowa Street and Iowa Street south of Sixth Street. In North Lawrence, stores could be on North Second and North Third streets.
percent would fall under the city's location restrictions.
The stores also would have to be at least 500 feet from schools and churches, 50 feet from residential property and 600 feet from each other.
The proposal could affect both Priscilla's and Naughty But Nice.
Naughty But Nice would violate the code because it is on Massachusetts Street and is close to homes and Cordley Elementary School.
Priscila's is on 23rd Street but might still be affected, Corliss said.
"The issue is whether or not they would meet the residential setback requirement." he said.
Corliss said he did not know of any businesses that would fall in the 10 to 40 percent category.
"There might be some video stores," he said.
PROPOSED REGULATIONS
The Lawrence City Commission will receive a proposal to limit the locations of adult-themed stores tonight. The proposal divides businesses into three categories by percentage of floor space or inventory devoted to sex products and limits the locations of the third category.
10-40 percent: sex-oriented materials must be blocked off
materials must be blocked on 40 percent or more: limited to the following locations:
0-10 percent; no regulation
40-60 percent; oriented

Delta Force candidates join race for top Senate posts
By Erin R. Barmomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Despite the coalition's setbacks in previous elections, two Delta Force candidates announced their intention to run for student body president and vice president yesterday.
Ben Burton, Ocean, N.J., junior and former senator, will run for president with Justin Mills, Lansing junior and residential senator, running for vice president.
DELTA FORCE
NOT FOR SALEI
Burton, who had said earlier he did not know if he would run. said
They will be up against Ben Walker, Hutchinson junior, and Marlon Marshall, St. Louis junior, of United Students and Sam MacRoberts, Leawood junior, and Carrie Depenbusch, Columbus junior, of Students 1st.
Burton also said he thought Delta Force had done more in four years of losing the presidential and vicepresidential seats than winning
"Three coalitions will be quite interesting," Mills said. "Voters will have a wider selection."
he changed his mind when he read a Kansan article yesterday.
coalitions had done.
"The statements made by the other two candidates that they had no issues really pushed me," he said.
Although he said he did not represent the entire coalition, Burton said one issue he was concerned with was the Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition's attempts to get health benefits and better pay.
For example, Delta Force supporters spearheaded efforts to get a fall break and a Daisy Hill polling site, he said.
"These have been the changes that have made the greatest impact on the University." Burton said. "Compared to what (other coaltions) have done by winning every year and Delta Force by losing, Delta Force comes out the clear winner."
Burton said he would like to see more accountability from coalitions that had the same people involved under a different name, and he said they should take responsibility for their successes and failures.
Mills said the coalition already had some senatorial candidates lined up, but he did not know exact numbers. He said that numbers could change by mid-March when elections became official.
"In mid-March you have papers to
worry about and your GPA," Mills said. "The numbers will change, but I'm really sure we will have a full coalition."
Burton said he did not want to finalize numbers until the coalitions held an open meeting for all interested students Thursday.
"I really hope people come out of the woodwork." Burton said.
The Etc.
Shop
Mills said he thought it was common for students working inside the Senate to rise to the presidential administration but that more students should get involved.
"Not that the power structure has not done good things in the past, as far as president and vice president go." Mills said. "But as senators, myself included, I think we get hooked on 'We are Student Senate, and we are going to work on stuff we think the students want.' I think we need to get more people involved in it, and Delta Force has been one of the most open coalitions."

Pistol-whipped
Cowboys hand Jayhawks worst loss in 26 years
By Shawn Hutchinson
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Following Kansas' latest crash and burn on the road, there remained one certainty.
The noose can't get any tighter.
The No. 20 Jayhawks backed themselves into the tightest of all corners last night with their worst loss in 26 years — an 86-53 pistol-whipping at the hands of the Oklahoma State Cowboys at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The 33-point loss was the worst for the Jayhawks since their 100-63 loss to Kentucky in 1974. It also was the fourth straight loss on the road for Kansas — one that dropped the team's record to 17-6 overall and 6-3 in the Big 12 Conference.
That translates into a sixth-place position for Kansas in the Big 12 standings with seven games left. Oklahoma State, 19-2, 8-1, maintained a stranglehold on first place.
"They totally manhandled us in every aspect of the game," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "It was the worst feeling I've ever had sitting on the bench. I felt useless to my team and totally outcoached. They kicked our rear ends in every way it could be kicked."
The 6,381 fans packed into the bomb-shelter known as Gallagher-Iba Area helped pester the 'Hawks into 34-percent shooting, 19 turnovers and a 15-point halftime deficit.
Kansas got kicked because it committed too many fouls, got too few looks inside, gave up too many big plays to Oklahoma State's Desmond Mason, and showed too little road prowess.
Mason fed off the crowd's energy by popping all five of his three-point attempts on his way to 31 points on 10-14 shooting.
"He is a great player," said Kansas forward Nick Bradford, who committed five of the 26 personal fouls for Kansas.
"We gave him too many open looks," he said. "A guy who can score like that with open looks is going to kill us all day."
Top that off with 18 points from Cowboy guard Joe Adkins and 12 points from teammate Doug Gottlieb, and the final chapter of Kansas' latest road trip was written.
"They got off to a good start; a couple of shots went down, and they just built a lead form there," Bradford said. "They outplayed us in every phase."
So that poses a question. What happened?
Three weeks ago, the Jayhawks were ranked No. 7 in the country and were fresh from a 78-57 pasting of Texas &M in College Station, Texas. That improved Kansas' record to 15-2 and 4-0.
Now, four losses and plenty of skid marks later, the Jayhawks are clinging to their basketball lives.
"We're just not playing very intelligently right now," Williams said. "We've got to get a lot tougher. We're not nearly as bad we looked tonight, but maybe we're not as good as I once thought either."
If there is a silver lining for Kansas it's that its next game will be next Saturday against Kansas State at Bramlage Coliseum — a place where the Javahawks never have been beaten.
But following Kansas' third worst loss in school history, even silver linings seem like somewhat of a fairy tale.
"It's very embarrassing," said Kansas guard Marlon London. "We're just going to have to come out and compete like warriors. If we don't, then the same thing is going to happen every time."

Former Jayhawk comes close
Woods recovers four-stroke deficit to beat Gogel
By Michael Terry sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The final round started off strong for Gogel as he was able
For former University of Kansas All-American golfer Matt Gogel, a 10-foot birdie putt was all that stood between him and a possible playoff, his first PGA Tour victory and a $720,000 pay day yesterday on the 18th hole at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California.
Gogel entered the final round tied for the lead with Mark Brooks at a 12-under par 204 and four shots ahead of eventual champion Tiger Woods.
Gogel, who played for the Jayhawks from 1990 to 1994, was playing in his fifth tournament since earning his PGA tour card last fall.
to birdie five of the first seven holes en route to shooting a 3-under 33 on the front nine, increasing his overall lead to six shots.
But by the time Gogel started to play on the back nine, Woods was well on his way to erasing the seemingly insurmountable lead.
After Woods hit a miraculous 97-yard wedge shot for an eagle on the 15th hole, he had trimmed the deficit to only two strokes.
Woods ended his final round with a four-foot bird drip, giving him a one-stroke lead with only two holes remaining.
Gogel struggled with his play on the back nine, and by the time he finished the 16th hole after just missing a birdie putt, Woods had drawn even with him at 14-under par.
Gogel had two birdie opportunities, which would have drawn him even with Woods, but he missed the first by inches.
It came down to the 18th hole, where Gogel needed to sink a 10-foot putt, which would have sent the tournament into a playoff.
two-foot par putt, ending the back nine with a 4-over 40. He was in a tie for second place at a 13-under 275, earning him a $134.00 payday.
Gogel missed the hole and a
The win for Woods was his sixth straight. He became the first player since Ben Hogan in 1948 to win six straight tour events.
In addition, Woods moved one step closer to breaking the once-thought untouchable record of 11 straight victories by Byron Nelson in 1945.
For Gogel, this was the second time in the last three weeks he was in the final paring, just falling short each time of winning his first PGA tour title.
Gogel's former coach and current Kansas men's golf coach Ross Randall said that he was disappointed that Gogel didn't win the tournament.

"He played extremely well and made our team proud," Randall said. "Matt's success has given our current players a chance to see the success they can have if they continue to work hard."
Injury holds tennis player back at championship

Sophomore Rodrigo Echagaray and freshman Eleazar Magallan did just that when they triumphed against two of the nation's best singles players. Unfortunately for junior Ed Dus, his doubles partner Echagaray injured himself during his singles match.
After a disappointing 0-3 showing at the Louisville Invitational more than a week ago, three of the best Kansas men's tennis players traveled to the Rolex Indoor Championships last weekend in hopes of regaining some of their confidence.
"It was nice to see a sophomore and a freshman beat those kind of players," said Jayhawk coach Mark Riley. "I think it is a very positive sign coming off of such a bad weekend. Rodrigo's injury really hurt Dus, though, because they weren't able to
play at the same level."
“(Park) was the best player in the nation at the junior national tournament." Riley said. "He played (Pete)
set 1-6, before finally sealing the match with a 6-0 third set.

"I think all of our players can compete with the nation's best players," Eagaray said. "I worked hard to play in this tournament the whole year. It was sad that I couldn't give 100 percent."
Under NCAA tennis rules, if a physician at a meet clears a player to compete, that player must play his match. If he decides not to compete, then that player adds two losses to his record. Riley said that system could be scary for coaches.

"You have an active imagination as a
coach," Riley said. "You always worry about whether a guy is going to hurt himself even further if he plays."
Magallan began his tournament play on a sour note, but he was able to rebound and claim a huge victory against Tennessee's Mark Parsons in the singles consolation round. Parsons was the No.17 singles player in the country. Magallan lost to No. 20 Eduardo Gordilho from Louisiana-Lafayette 6-3, 6-2 before defeating Parsons 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
The entire tennis team will get back in action this coming weekend at the Alvamar Raquet Club in Lawrence. They will battle the Indiana Hoosiers Saturday at 10 a.m. and the Iowa Hawkeyes at 1 p.m. Sunday. Echagaray said he would play this weekend, but his injury still bothered him.
"It hurts when I push on it and when I serve the ball," Echagaray said. "I hope it will be all right for this weekend."

Fan dedication not measured by loud cheers
The moment the words left Roy Williams' lips, they took on a life of their own.
Lost in the shuffle is another interesting question that Williams' comments bring to light: What makes for a good fan?
Even his most ardent supporters criticized Williams. Many fans began to wonder out loud, "Is Roy Williams too tightly wound?"
"If you don't want to cheer for us, then keep your big butts at home." Williams declared after a somewhat lackluster home win against Colorado on Jan. 24.
The dubious correlation between ass size and fan quality aside, the answer isn't simple. Fan loyalty is displayed in different ways and in different decibel levels.
Pat O'Bryan, Overland Park park sophomore,
is an organizer of a fan group called
"Neil's Atomic Fireballs," after assistant
coach Neil Dougherty's candy of choice.
Many Kansas supporters think that students are the real fans because of the volume and enthusiasm they bring to games. But fan loyalty can be more subtle than that. Different fans trade in different currency when it comes to support, and one contribution is not necessarily more valuable than others.
The group of about 30 students camps at Allen Fieldhouse for as many as six or seven days before a game to get good seats. Members hold a place in line for shifts of about two hours and often sit for several shifts before a game. It takes dedication and organization, and it's all about supporting the team.
There is no doubt that O'Bryan and the Fireballs are good fans.
The Atomic Fireballs make a lot of noise, they stand for the whole game, and whenever possible, they hit the road to support the Jayhawks away from the fieldhouse.
There also can be no doubt that Mary Turkington is a good fan.
Turkington sits in a seatback section. She cheers often, but she sits for most of the game and she can't match the volume of a student fan.
Turkington has held season tickets with various groups of friends since she graduated from the University in 1946. She drives to Lawrence from Topeka for every home game she can attend. Though she is not a Williams Club member, she has donated to the program through the years.
As the sports editor for the University Daily Kansan, she met regularly with legendary coach Phog Allen. She sat courtside for games played at Hoch Auditorium, watching greats like Charlie Black and Ray Evans while she worked as a stringer for the International News Service.
Turkington said the ethics and morals Phog Allen and subsequent coaches and players have brought to the program have inspired her to a fan loyalty that has spanned more than five decades. Loyalty like this doesn't need to be shouted or screamed.
But Turkington contributes as a fan in ways that no student can.
Loyalty can be shown in different ways. It can be declared loudly with exaltations and hoopla. It can also be displayed softly with quiet reverence.
How fan loyalty is displayed is not important. What is important is that a fan has loyalty and it is not easily shaken.
To O'Bryan, a good fan always supports the team, no matter how much it's winning or losing.
The same could be said for how a fan reacts to the coach or the program when times are tough. Turkington said she was dismayed by the comments Williams made after the Colorado game but that she still had faith in Roy Williams.
"It was out of character," she said. "But it doesn't really diminish one iota my respect for the man."
Turkington is not alone.
Roy Williams has said on numerous occasions that Kansas fans are the best in the country. When he walked on his home court before the Texas Tech game Saturday, they proved those statements right by putting his harsh comments aside and welcoming him with a display of loyalty that anyone could recognize — respectful applause.

Police search football player's home
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Police searched Ray Lewis' home in Maryland yesterday as the All-Pro linebacker remained in an Atlanta jail facing murder charges.
Lewis' personal attorney, Ronald M. Cherry, said he could not comment on what police were looking for or what was confiscated from the home in Owings Mills, in suburban Baltimore.
The officers from Atlanta and Baltimore County arrived at the home around midnight and spent about three hours there, Cherry said. They could be seen carrying large plastic containers and loading a computer into a van.
Lewis, a Baltimore Ravens star who grew up in Lakeland, Fla., is charged in the Jan. 31 stabbing deaths of Jacinth "Shorty" Baker, 21, and Richard Lollar, 24, outside a bar after a post-Super Bowl party. He is being held without bond pending a Monday hearing.
Lewis' mother, grandmother and fiancee visited him in jail Sunday, and other relatives and friends have come to his defense.
"We always told Ray that God gives life, and human beings shouldn't take life," Lewis' grandfather, Gillis McKinney, told ESPN on Sunday.
He said Lewis was that type of person.
Defense attorneys have said Lewis was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, but they said they would have no further comment until reviewing the case more thoroughly.
"We're working 18-hour days and then we're still thinking like we missed something," Jana Harris, one of Lewis' defense lawyers, told The Associated Press.
Atlanta police detectives have questioned A.J. Johnson, a former University of Maryland player who tried out with the Miami Dolphins, at his apartment in Laurel, Md., The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported yesterday.
Police also want to question Kwame King, who grew up in Lewis' hometown in Florida, Atlanta police spokesman John Quigley said.
Neither Johnson nor King necessarily is a suspect, Quigley said. Both men are thought to have been with Lewis in a limousine seen speeding from the crime scene.
Atlanta police gave few other details about the crime itself. A marked police car was seen Saturday in the driveway of the limousine's driver, Duane Fassett, although his wife, Linda, said he would have no comment.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution has reported that
Lewis was arrested based on Fassett's account of what happened.
But Fassett's attorney said he doubted that the driver's account was the sole reason for the charges against Lewis.
"If anybody makes the assumption that my client is a star witness against Ray Lewis, that would a false assumption," the lawyer, David Irwin, told The Associated Press yesterday morning.
Baltimore police would not give details of the investigation Sunday. Previous reports said two knives were found in the limo, and receipts for knives were found in Lewis' Atlanta hotel room. Harris previously said the knives and receipts might belong to someone else.
Lewis, 24. also faces charges that he hit a woman at a Baltimore-area bar on Nov. 30. Howard Merker, deputy state's attorney for Baltimore County, said the case would not go to trial if the charge could not be substantiated and postponed a hearing on the case.
"I was there and there ain't no way he touched that girl because the security—they know Ray—so they grabbed Ray when the fight broke out and pushed him off in the corner," said Ravens cornerback Duane Starks, who played with Lewis at the University of Miami.

Seton Hall breaks Syracuse's winning streak
The Associated Press
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Fourthranked Syracuse finally met its match.
Darius Lane hit a three-pointer with 39 seconds left last night to lift Seton Hall to a 69-67 victory against the previously unbeaten Orangemen, whose season-opening winning streak ended at 19 games.

With the Carrier Dome crowd reaching deafening levels, Blackwell scored his only points of the game with 1:07 left, hitting two free throws to put Syracuse ahead for the last time, 67-66.
Lane, who finished with 20 points, won it with a long three-point shot from the left side, and the Pirates survived a three-point try by Preston Shumpert and close-in shots by Blackwell and Etan Thomas in the final 10 seconds.
Shaheen Holloway had 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Seton Hall. Rimas kaukenas had 16 points and Ty Shine 10 for the Pirates (16-4, 8-2).

Jason Hart led Syracuse with 14
The game was rescheduled from Jan. 22 because of a residence hall fire at Seton Hall that killed three students.
Seton Hall, which used some great passing in the first half — the Pirates had 10 assists — reverted in the second half to the long-range shooting that had crushed West Virginia 97-66 Saturday.
Jayhawks slide to No.20
No new teams enter this week's AP poll
The Associated Press
For the first time this season, there were no changes in the teams in The Associated Press college basketball poll. There was some movement yesterday, including Connecticut dropping out of the Top 10 for the first time since 1997.
Cincinnati (22-1) was No. 1 for the fifth straight week, matching its run from earlier this season.
Connecticut (16-5) beat Villanova then was soundly beaten at Michigan State and fell from seventh to No. 13. It was the first time the defending national champions were out of the Top Ten since being ranked 11 on Dec. 22, 1997, a run of 42 consecutive polls.
Kansas dropped five spots to No. 20 after losing on the road to Iowa 77-69.
This week's schedule could bring the changes back in a hurry as there is at least one double-ranked game every day except Friday.

Huskies remain No.1
Big victory boosts Tennessee in poll
The Associated Press
Connecticut's first loss cost the Huskies some first-place votes, but not its No. 1 ranking in The Associated Press women's basketball poll.
Despite a 72-71 defeat at home to Tennessee, Connecticut remained at the top of the poll yesterday, a position the Huskies have held all season.
UConn received only 27 first-place votes. That was still enough to give the Huskies a 41-point lead against Tennessee, which jumped past Georgia and Louisiana Tech into the No.2 spot.
Connecticut defeated Tennessee last month at Knoxville.
There were few changes elsewhere in the Top 25, which had only one newcomer. Stanford, which has been in and out of the poll twice this season, returned for a third time at No. 24. Illinois dropped out.
Connecticut (20-1) bounced back from the loss to Tennessee to beat Seton Hall 86-34, a game the Huskies led 41-8 at halftime.

Athletes' actions hurt fans, teams
Some people just don't realize how good they have it.
Hours after the St. Louis Rams defeated the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was apprehended and charged with the murder of two men outside an Atlanta nightclub.
Last November, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Rae Carruth was charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and attempted murder in the death of his pregnant girlfriend. The woman, Cherica Adams, died a month after she was shot four times in a drive-by shooting. Carruth posted bond, then went on the lam. He was found hiding in the trunk of a friend's Tovota Camrv.
How can these guys be so stupid? They make millions of dollars playing football, and they screw everything up. No matter the outcome — guilty or innocent — they have jeopardized their careers by being associated with criminal activity.
Sure, sometimes professional athletes get arrested. Former basketball star Charles Barkley gets in a fight at a bar, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin is caught with cocaine, things like that. After all, athletes are human, they are allowed to make mistakes. Sometimes they even get stuck in drive-thru windows.
But charged with murder? That's just unacceptable for people in their positions.
There are more implications. These crimes give the NFL and its players a bad name. They can emotionally scar other players,
More importantly, they hurt the people who looked up to them as role models. What does it say to a young Ravens or Panthers fan to see one of their favorite team's star players arrested for murder?
coaches and fans who had supported and befriended these men.
Young people across the country see enough violence on the news and in the streets. Sports should be an outlet for people to cheer their favorite team.
Now, every time I see the Panthers or Ravens play football, I will think of these two men and the heinous crimes they were charged with — so will millions of other people around the country.
Lewis was the NFL's leading tackler this season. He had led the Ravens in tackles the last four seasons and should have spent last weekend playing in his third Pro Bowl.
But he wasn't. Instead, he is sitting in a jail cell being held without bail awaiting a Monday hearing. Lewis is the only one charged in these killings, and evidence is being presented that could turn out in his favor.
Carruth was a first-round draft pick by the Panthers out of the University of Colorado in 1997. He had been described as a wide receiver with limitless potential.
But he, too, is in a jail cell awaiting trial. Prosecutors have said they plan to seek the death penalty. His son, Chancellor, survived after an emergency caesarean section before the death of his mother. He could end up an

orphan.
I cannot comprehend the motives behind these actions. Athletes should do everything possible to stay out of trouble. It brings to mind Florida State wide receiver Peter Warrick, who was almost guaranteed the Heisman Trophy and then arrested for theft. He was probably the best player in college football last year, yet one mistake ruined everything.
To be fair, an overwhelming percentage of professional athletes have never been arrested, and some spend hours doing charity work. Most of the time, if an athlete is in the news for something other than his or her performance in last night's game, it's just for something else, like George Brett and his hemorrhoids. Nothing criminal.

But it's the stories we read about athletes associated with murders that seem to overshadow all of the others.

Minors drank at KU fund-raiser, students say
WWW.KANSAN.COM
By Jim O'Malley writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas says it's committed to preventing the illegal consumption of alcohol. But at University of Kansas Alumni Association festivities honoring some National Merit Scholars Friday night, underage drinking took place in the midst of University administrators.
At least one of the National Merit Scholars attending Friday's Rock Chalk Ball at the Kansas City Marriott Downtown-Muehlebach Tower in Kansas City, Mo., found the enforcement of alcohol restrictions a little lax.
"There was drinking by minors, and I was one of them," said Justin Davis, Overland Park freshman and Rock Chalk Scholar. "The waiter asked me if I wanted red or white wine, and I chose red. It surprised me. I'm 19, and I don't look anywhere near 21."
The Rock Chalk Ball is a black tie fund-raiser held by the KU Alumni Association to provide scholarships for National Merit Scholars. Students who receive the scholarships are Rock Chalk Scholars. Nearly 20 scholars attended the ball, and most were younger than 21.
Davis said there were two high-level administrators at the table with him, but nobody said anything until he had a third glass of wine. At that point, a scholarship counselor told him to stop drinking. he said.
Davis said that after the meal, he and a friend went off to find some more wine. They ran into an alumnus who offered to buy them drinks.
"He bought me a rum and coke," he said.
Davis said he thought the bartenders were carding people at the bar.
This isn't the first time underage drinking has gone on at a Rock Chalk Scholars event. David Kollhoff, Beloit junior, said that when he was a freshman, he attended a reception held at Dyche Hall before the Ball to honor Rock Chalk Scholars. Kollhoff, who is not a Rock Chalk Scholar, said he wasn't carded at the bar.
"I was drinking bourbon and Coke and talking to administrators."
Kollhoff said. "I was 19 at the time."
Kollhoff said, "I was 19 at the time." Kollhoff said he thought alcohol should be available on campus and found it ironic to be underage and drinking with authority figures all around.
"It seemed a little hypocritical to me," he said. "If they're going to establish a policy, they ought to follow it."
Jennifer Jackson Sanner, the Alumni Association's senior vice president for communications and editor of the Kansas Alumni Magazine, said all the scholars were chaperoned to the event and escorted by staff. It was a big hall, and 1,100 people attended, she said, but all students were told to behave responsibly.
"Individuals have to make their own decisions about their conduct," she said. "If anything happened, it was an isolated incident, I hope."
Jackson Sanner said the event had been successful in raising money to help recruit National Merit scholars for the University. The four previous Balls raised more than $400,000, and this year's also did well, she said
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, said students at his table declined wine.
"It was not a belly-up-to-the-bar event" he said.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost, said the student sitting next to her said he was 19 and pushed his glass away.
But McCluskey-Fawcett and Cerveny said they were surprised that reports of underage drinking would interest the Kansan.
A few Rock Chalk Scholars who attended said they had no comment, but most who were contacted by the Kansan said they saw no drinking by underage students at the Ball. Nickolas Hein, Wichita freshman, said he didn't notice anything at the Ball or on the ride home with eight or nine other students.
"I think I would have noticed if anyone was a little loud." he said.
Chris Adams, Leawood freshman,
said there was none at his table.
Campus addresses may be necessary
"I sat at a table with my parents," he said.

"I hope the new system will be in place by the end of the semester," Reynolds said.
The post office probably would use the addresses already assigned by the KU Public Safety Office, which it created for its 911 emergency service system, Reynolds said.
Eventually, mail addressed to any University of Kansas building may be required to have street address rather than just the building's name.
"From a postal service standpoint, there are advantages which will improve mail delivery," he said.
Lawrence postmaster Bill Reynolds said he hoped to present this proposal to University officials in the next 30 days.
Reynolds emphasized that there was no need to address mail differently yet because the current system, which requires only the building name, was still in place.
Cheryl Klug, a secretary at the School of Journalism who frequently handles campus mail, said she believed the change also would make it easier for delivery services such as UPS and Federal Express to deliver items.
"When people want to send us things through UPS, they don't put the street addresses on, and it can confuse a delivery driver who is not familiar with the campus," Klug said.
"I don't think it will make it any easier at all for delivery men," Rehder said.
He said people often looked for the names of halls rather than addresses.
Matt Rehder, Great Bend junior, said he thought requiring addresses was a bad idea.
But not everyone is fond of the proposal.
Reynolds said his recommendation to the University was that the addresses be clearly displayed on all campus buildings.

Credit card offers under fire
Proposed legislation to fine credit companies soliciting KU students
By Katrina Hull
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Before Rocky Nichols enrolled in graduate school at the University of Kansas last spring, his mailbox was free from credit card offers. Then the mailings began with a special student offer from American Express.
This alarmed Nichols, a democratic state representative from Topeka, enough to propose a law that would distance credit card companies from college students.
"I didn't sign up for college to increase the amount of junk mail in my mailbox," Nichols said.
But the offers don't just come through the mail — credit card companies aggressively recruit new customers on campus and by phone.
State Reps, Ralph Tanner, R-Baldwin, and Jim Garner, D-Topeka, have joined Nichols in sponsoring the bill that would fine credit card companies for soliciting on Kansas campuses and fine schools for
"Sometime when students are establishing credit they are only too happy to take first cards that come along without reading the fine print."
credit counselor
releasing students' names to credit card companies.
Joanne Hickey, information services coordinator for the University registrar, said that releasing student names to credit card companies was illegal under Kansas law and that the University did not do it.
But Brenda Selman, associate registrar, said that didn't mean student names weren't readily available.
"The fact is that the University publishes a phone book and anybody that wants to can purchase that phone book," Selman said.
Robert Baker, a credit counselor at Consumer Credit Counseling, 2518 Ridge Court, said the availability of credit cards made it easy for students to get into credit card debt. Students often don't understand how a credit card works, he said.
"Sometimes when students are establishing credit they are only too happy to take the first card that comes along without reading the fine print," Baker said.
If a student reached the $1,000 limit on a credit card with a 21 percent interest rate and only made the minimum $20 monthly payment, it would take 13 years to pay off the balance. Baker said.
Nichols said the proposed law wasn't meant to play parent to college students.
"I believe college students are big boys and girls and they can make up their own minds," he said. "But it's not the proper role of government to actively partner up with credit card companies and to invite them onto campus."
But that partnership isn't always bad, said Linda Cullina, associate vice president at Intrust Bank. Her bank issues credit cards through the Alumni Association, and the Alumni Association in turn contributes to the University.
"We're watching it very closely." Cullinan said of the proposed law. "The student credit card environment has come under a lot of scrutiny because of large issuers pushing the boundaries."

Williams Fund hosts stadium open house for potential clients
KU to lease unoccupied Memorial suites
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Astronomers around the Lawrence area had to be disappointed when the bright lights of Memorial Stadium disturbed their crystal-clear sky Monday night.
The Williams Fund treated prospective clients to an open house Monday in hopes they would lease the eight-to-10 unoccupied suites at the stadium for the upcoming football season.
Darkness was interrupted on campus between 7 and 10 p.m. by the lights, which were used to give the visitors the feel of a college football Saturday on a February Tuesday.
"It was an atmosphere thing,"
Those who attended also watched the Kansas basketball game on the MegaVision screen, which was added before the fall football season.
said Darren Cook, director of operations. "You don't want them to come down to the suites and stare out into a dark hole."
"It was as close to a game day atmosphere as we could come up with," said Scott McMichael, director of Williams Fund/K-Club.
The event attracted 30-40 people who were donors of the Williams Fund or were connected to the school in some way.
This was the first time the Williams Fund had held an open house, and McMichael said the evening might bring the suites closer to capacity.
"We have a donor base here with the Williams Fund, so that's kind of an active network of interested fans, supporters and alums," McMichael said. "Also, with our ESPN connection, we have corporations that are interested."
While most visitors Monday were part of the network, there were some walk-ins that inquired about the availability and price of
"We had one or two people that are very interested," McMichael said. "I think now it's just a process of following up and hopefully getting them on the dotted line in the next few weeks."
The event was the first of its kind at the stadium, but the stadium and its new additions have not been collecting dust since the football season ended in November.
the suites. As a result, there are ongoing stadium tours for those interested in viewing the suites.
Football team recruits are often
Another open house might be held if there is significant interest during another road basketball game. McMichael said that having the basketball game playing while the visitors experienced the facilities definitely helped the selling process.
orought to the stadium and allowed to watch their high school highlight reels on the MegaVision. The idea is to get the recruits excited about playing for Kansas by showing their highlights and superimposing KU football jerseys on mug shots of the players and showing the player profile on the big screen.
Moreover, the University is looking into other uses for the stadium.
McMichael said the University was looking into holding concerts there, which has become popular at campuses throughout the nation.
"Obviously, the suite holders would have access to the suites at those times when there is an event in the stadium," he said.
However, access to the suites will cost the suite holder more than the base price for the football season. The suite holders would have to purchase some tickets to the events, but the price would be on a per-event basis.

He is scheduled to appear at 1:30 p.m. March 14 in Douglas County District Court for a trial setting. Earl appeared yesterday with his attorney, Albert J. Lopes, who said he would review the case to deter mine whether Earl was eligible for diversion.
State records indicate Earl has never had a valid Kansas driver's license. Authorities said he had applied for one Nov. 6, 1998. A license was issued, but it expired on the same day because Earl did not pass the driver's test, they said.
Authorities said Earl was formally notified Nov. 9 by letter that his license had been suspended. The same day, Earl was to have appeared in Perryville, Mo., for a speeding ticket issued July 18, 1998, when he was stopped for driving 90 mph in a 70 mph zone. Mary Schremp, spokesperson for the Perry County Circuit Court,
said Earl never made his court appearance or paid his $125 fin
Earl has more to deal with at the courthouse than traffic. The Dillon Companies filed a limited-action suit against Earl in December for allegedly writing a bad check in March 1999. The suit seeks to collect the amount of the check, $80, plus court costs and fees associated with collection. The grocery chain is seeking $450 total.

Burge shooting suspect makes court appearance
The 22-year-old Lawrence resident arrested Monday in connection with the shooting at the Burge Union made his first appearance yesterday at a courtroom in the Douglas County Jail.
Christine Tonkovich, Douglas County district attorney, said Bryon Kirkdell was charged with aggravated battery for allegedly wounding a student in the early morning of Jan. 23 at a dance party sponsored by the Alpha Phi Academy fraternity.
Gregory J. Davis, Denver senior,
was shot in the hip in the Frontier
Room at the party, which between
300 and 400 people attended.
Kirtdoll was arrested shortly before noon on Monday in Topeka, said KU Public Safety Officer Sgt. Troy Mailen. A judge had issued a warrant for Kirtdoll's arrest last week.
Kirtdoll was booked at the Shawnee County Department of Corrections Monday afternoon. He was transferred to the Douglas County jail yesterday, where he was booked at 7:12 p.m.
Judge Fairchild set Kirdtoll's bond at $25,000. He is scheduled to appear in district court at 2 p.m. Feb. 15 for a trial setting.

Platinum-selling rapper Big Punisher dies at 28
NEW YORK — Christopher Rios, the platinum-selling rapper known as Big Pun who was respected for his imaginative lyrics and smooth delivery, died Monday. He was 28.
Rios was stricken at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in suburban White Plains, where he was staying with his family while their home was being renovated, and was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital. A coroner said he suffered health problems related to extreme obesity but a final determination on cause of death was pending.
The rap world started to take notice of Rios — whose stage name was short for Big Punisher — after appearances with fellow rapper Fat Joe and a feature on "The Mix Tape Vol. 1." put together by Funkmaster Flex.
"He was beloved, and admired, and accomplished, and rich," said his publicist, David Granoff.
His street hit "You Ain't a Killer" was featured on the Soul in the Hole soundtrack and his first album, Capital Punishment went double platinum and was nominated for a Grammy Just year.
He credited Rios, who was Puerto Rican, with working to bring Hispanic-American entertainers into rap, a style traditionally dominated by African-American artists.
Rios' second album, Yeah, Baby,
was due out in April.
Known early in his career as Big Moon Dog, the entertainer was once an avid basketball player and boxer, but later he said he took to eating "until he couldn't tie his shoe laces."
Perceived electability in November vaulted George W. Bush to victory yesterday in Delaware's Republican presidential primary, but voters admiring John McCain for his prisoner-of-war ordeal helped him finish a surprising second, an exit poll found.
Rios, who lived in the Bronx, was survived by his wife, Liza, and three young children, Christopher, Vanessa, and Amanda.
Deleware voters pick Bush in GOP primary
Although McCain didn't campaign in Delaware, he gained 44 percent of his support there in the week since his 18-point victory against Bush in New Hampshire's GOP primary. Steve Forbes gained more than half his support in the past week but that still got him only a disappointing third-place finish. Nearly three-quarters of Bush backers said they decided earlier this year or before.
While those results suggest McCain is riding momentum out of New Hampshire, six in 10 voters said Bush would be most likely to beat the Democratic nominee, and nearly three-quarters of them voted for the Texas governor. McCain did at least as well among the 1 in 4 who said he was more electable.
Just 7 percent said Forbes would be most likely to win in November, according to results from a Voter News Service exit poll for The Associated Press and television networks. Only a third of Forbes voters considered him electable in November.
Twelve percent of voters said the most important candidate quality was that he can win in November, and nearly all of them voted for Bush.

State lawmakers propose new bill to limit harassing credit companies
Continued from page 1A
Cullman said that Intrust Bank would not issue a credit card to students who already had three. She said that without access to campuses, the bank wouldn't be able to compete with the large credit card companies.
The proposed law could prevent some campus fund-raisers. Student organizations and credit card companies frequently team up to solicit credit cards, said Danny Kaiser, chairman of the University events committee. Kaiser said campus organizations could make more than $50 per day getting students to apply.
Nichols said he wanted to start the discussion because he thought that universities could do more to prohibit companies from contacting students and that the credit card companies could have better business practices.
"It's something we need to talk about because I think it has gone unchecked." Nichols said.
"Alcohol is legal for adults. But we don't invite Budweiser on campus."
Rocky Nichols Democratic representative
Five states introduced legislation last year banning credit card solicitation on college campuses.
A hearing for Nichols' bill in the House Education Committee has not been scheduled vet.
ON THE RECORD
Nichols said that he wasn't against credit cards and that he used plastic regularly. The issue is whether the companies belong on campus, he said.
"Alcohol is legal for adults," Nichols said. "But we don't invite Budweiser on campus."

Watts Prophets to perform at Lied
WESTERN STYLE
The Watts Prophets are considered to be the fathers of West Coast rap. They will bring their millennial message to the University of Kansas at 8 p.m. Friday at the Lied Center. Contributed Photo

The Watts Prophets have been credited for laying the foundation for West Coast rap. But the three men humbly shrug off the claim and point to the roots of African culture.
"We're the founding fathers of this form of rap," said Amde Hamilton. "It's all poetry to us — rap, hip-hop, jazz. But anyone who would say they're the founding fathers of rap is not very intelligent. What you're seeing is African culture as it has evolved today. It started with the first poet and the first storyteller and it comes from all cultures."
The Watts Prophets, comprised of Richard Dedeaux, Hamilton and Otis O'Solomon, will judge the poetry slam from 9 p.m. to midnight tonight at the Jazzhaus, 926-1/2 Massachusetts St. The show is open only for those 21 and older, and cover is $3. They also will deliver a two-hour performance accompanied by a jazz trio at 8 p.m. Friday at the Lied Center.
O'Solomon said he didn't really know what was going to happen at the slam, but he knew it was going to be good. He said the three always tried to be positive with their critiques.
"We just go with the flow and flow with the go." O'Solomon said.
Hamilton said it was hard to judge what was good and bad in poetry, but the artist could usually judge for himself after he read the poem aloud.
"The audience will let you know if they connected with the spirit of the poem." he said.
"That's what we like to do — connect with the spirit of the poem and the spirit of the souls that are listening to it."
O'Solomon said he liked to use laughter, drama and entertainment to get his message across.
"I'm an eternal optimist," O'Solomon said. "I like throwing darts with really sharp points and getting them to stick inside."
The Watts Prophets have been together since they met in 1967 at the Watts Writers Workshop in south-central Los
Angeles . They became the Watts Prophets when they won second place in a talent show.
"We come from a place where we like to speak the truth that needs to be told," O'Solomon said. "There is a lot of healing in poetry for the listener and the poet."
Hamilton said the Prophets had different messages for different venues, but this year they had a special millennium message for youth.
"They are our future and if things are
Hamilton said this was their first time to perform in Kansas City and Lawrence, but he'd always dreamed of performing in 'Charlie Parker land.'
going to change, they are going to change them," he said.
The trio will join University of Kansas students in English and American Studies classes on tomorrow. They are to present workshops for students at Central Junior High School, Lawrence High School and Free State High School and will perform for school-aged children at the Lied Center at 1 p.m. Thursday. On Saturday, they will meet with the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence to conduct workshops on writing and self-esteem.
Tickets for the Friday performance at the Lied Center are $13.50 and $11 for KU and Haskell Indian Nations University students. They are available at box offices in the Kansas Union, SUA Office, Murphy Hall, the Lied Center, the University of Kansas Medical Center Bookstore and any Ticketmaster outlet.
Parking spots adjusted for upcoming year
Move of school may add to crowd
By Warisa Chulindra writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The parking board hopes to avoid potential parking shortages that may occur when the School of Education relocates to Joseph R. Pearson Hall next year, bringing an influx of parking needs to that portion of campus.
Morris Faiman, chairman of the parking board, said that parking at Carruth O'Leary already was difficult and that 181 School of Education employees would exacerbate the situation even more.
The board made adjustments to help curb potential problems. It reallocated 210 spots for faculty and staff and 243 for students in the lots behind Carruth O'Leary Hall during its Jan. 25 meeting. The change means students will lose 22 current parking spaces.
The parking department hopes the gravel lot between Memorial Stadium and Carruth O'Leary will be paved this summer, which would provide about 60 spots for students and compensate for parking spot reduction in the Carruth O'Leary lot.
"We know we're going to have an influx of staff on that side of campus," Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, said. "But anywhere on campus you have that problem."
Faiman said another factor to consider was that members of three sororities — Chi Omega, Sigma Kappa and Gamma Phi Beta — purchase permits each year.
"I'm not sure we should be in the business of supplying parking for fraternities and sororites," Faiman said. In other business.
In other board business:
Members tabled a motion regarding the allocation of 300 spots at the new parking garage, which will open in July.
Fainaim suggested that there be 175 faculty and staff spots and 125 student spots.
Kevin Yoder, student board member and Hutchinson first-year law student, said he wanted to hear more student input before voting on a motion.
"It seems like we have more student parkers," he said. "And they received the largest percentage increase a few years ago."
Board members said they would monitor the parking and make changes as needed.
City forced to accept new bids for bus system

Lack of federal support is forcing Lawrence to search for a new bus manufacturer.

saying the city had followed proper procedures in selecting Blue Bird.
Chance then appealed to the FTA in January, and city hall received a letter from an FTA administrator agreeing with the protest.
"FTA will recommend to the city of Lawrence that it either resolicit for buses, or that it forego federal funding for the same," the letter said.
David Corliss, director of legal services for the city, said the city would have to start the funding program from scratch.
"In order to get federal funding, we have to follow federal rules," he said.
Wilden said the city would not be able to pay for the buses on its own and would probably miss its goal of starting the bus system in May or June, he said.
Fred Gilliam, executive vice president for Chance, was not available for comment.
Wildgen said the original bid process took 90 days, and he estimated this one would take 30 to 45 days.
"We hope to be on as short a timetable as possible," he said.
The letter said the city's request for proposals was ambiguous about buses' life cycle costs — figuring
Wildgen said he was meeting with FTA officials today to clarify what they meant by the assessment, and what the city could do to correct it.
how much it would cost to maintain and run a bus, and whether it was a good buy. Corliss said.
Wildgen assumed the same companies would bid again, but did not know for sure.
"We may have somebody protest it again," he said.
Corliss said he did not know if the city would pick Blue Bird again after the city revamped its selection method.
Students connect to presidential campaign 2000
By Doug Pacey

Kansan staff writer
Student Senate campaigns are only just beginning, but presidential hopefuls for 2000 have been campaigning for nearly a year.
And some KU students are joining up with candidates like Steve Forbes and Bill Bradley. Robert Choromanski, Lenexa senior, and Kevin Rapp, Cedar Crest, N.M., senior, both have ties to presidential campaigns.
Choromanski is the Kansas Campus Coordinator for Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J., while Rapp was an intern for Steve Forbes this summer in Alexandria, Vir.
Choromaniski got his position in early January when Micheline Burger, co-chairperson of the Kansas Bradley team, asked him if he wanted to work for Bradley.
Choromanski said he was honored by the offer.
"Being offered a position like mine doesn't occur all the time," he said. "But it's especially nice when you're invited by state leadership through national leadership."
The position is not without work, t h o u g h. Choromantski said

Rapp, who is a political science major, said that anyone who wanted to work in politics or

in Washington D.C. needed to participate in an internship in the capital.
"If you have any plans of getting into politics or working in Washington, D.C., you need to do an internship there," he said. "Especially if you're from Kansas. There are students from the East Coast who intern there every summer."
Rapp said he wanted to become a political consultant, lobbyist or run for an elected office.
With Forbes, Rapp said he worked in the policy and political departments.
In the policy department he researched the rules to get a candidate on the ballot in all of the states. He said he spent three weeks working by himself and wrote a report on his findings that was more than 1,000 pages.
While he worked in the political department he researched education and schools, specifically charter schools and school vouchers.
At the University, Rapp is also helping the Students First coalition's campaign. He said that his experience in Washington, D.C. had helped him understand campaigns a little better. Rapp said watching U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, gain ground on Texas Gov. George W. Bush showed him that candidates could gain support no matter how insurmountable a lead the front-runner may have.

Funds for campus safety necessary
Let there be light — it's a matter of safety. The Campus Safety Advisory Board should go forward with a proposal to add more lights to areas on campus that are not well-lit, such as some parking lots.
And the administration should increase its commitment to campus safety by providing matching funds for the $2 campus lighting fee which, with the University of Kansas' potential contribution, should only cost students $1 after the current fee expires in fiscal year 2001.
Adding more light to our walkways and garages would increase the feeling, as well as the reality, of safety.
Areas such as the walkway between the Lied Center and Daisy Hill need to
The University should match $1 renewal of fee for more campus lighting, cameras
be more well-lit. The ability to see and be aware of who and what surrounds one is essential when it comes to personal protection. Without this visibility, students' abilities to protect themselves are being compromised.
To make an honest effort at improving campus security, other measures besides lighting also should be taken with the use of the lighting fee, such as putting cameras in the parking garage. Though some student senators think camera installation would
be senseless, their use also could deter property damage.
Maintaining funds for campus safety is important. However, students shouldn't have to foot such a substantial part of the bill simply for adding lights to areas of campus that desperately need them. If the University does not match the funds, it will send the message that security is a frivolity. University safety should be an option; it should be a mandatory priority.
In the same vein, if the University isn't willing to foot the whole bill, students should support renewing the campus lighting fee to $1 per student. That one dollar will be better than having no improvements made at all.

Mandatory fees nourish free speech on campus
No student should have to be subject to the tyranny of the majority on campus.
But for the last four years, five former University of Wisconsin-Madison students have been pursuing a legal decision that could have a profound impact on higher education around the
nation. Students at the University of Kansas should pay close attention.
P. S. Kumar
Scott Southworth, along with four former Wisconsin law students, has made it to the U.S. Supreme Court with a claim that requiring mandatory student fees to finance student organizations that engage in political and ideological advocacy, activities or speech is a violation of students' First Amendment rights to free speech and association. Two lower courts already have ruled
Nadia

jonathan@kansas.com
that the constitutionality of mandatory funding is in question. The Supreme Court heard the plaintiffs' arguments in November and soon will hand down a decision.
It is hoped that the Court will recognize that the diverse distribution of student fees is a constitutional, necessary and integral component of higher education. Any other decision would be contrary to the purpose of the college experience.
If the Court rules in favor of Southworth and his gang, public universities across the nation may be forced to revamp their systems of allocating funds to student organizations, and surely, a few specific organizations would take the fall - minority groups, women's groups and lesbian/gay/bisexual/transsexual groups probably would be the first wounded.
Higher education is no longer solely textbook academics. Ideally, college creates a forum for the understanding of diverse views. It's crucial that students be exposed to different ideas, have the opportunity to chew on them, and then decide for themselves whether to swallow them or spit them out. Many students change some of their beliefs after attending college, or at least they broaden their worldviews.
This is a key step toward lightening the burden of intolerance and stereotypes that plagues us today. Maintaining an arena of varying perspectives is not unique to "liberal" universities, such as our campus or Wisconsin, and it doesn't only encourage that the Bible-toters learn about the queer community but also that the "Feminizas" give the Future Homemakers of America a chance
The average student doesn't have the time or resources to launch a fund-raising campaign for his or her organization. Without funding from student fees, many of these organizations will collapse. This could severely limit free speech on campus. Universities aren't necessarily democratic they are controlled markets of ideas. The cap
italist notion of the "survival of the fittest" is unrealistic and unfair in a university setting. Students should go to college to learn and to immerse themselves in various viewpoints, whether academic or otherwise. They don't go to school to lend for the resources to speak, gather and act.
In any case, the allocation of student fees at a university can be viewed as a parallel to the U.S. government's allocation of tax revenue. Most universities, such as this one, have a representative form of student government that decides where student fees go. U.S. citizens elect representatives and senators, and KU students elect student senators. U.S. citizens don't have the luxury of marking a checklist of programs to which they prefer their taxes be allocated, and KU students shouldn't either. Maybe Southworth and his colleagues should head to the nearest campus voting booth instead of complaining to a judge.
No one should buy the Wisconsin gang's guise of a mission to protect First Amendment rights. If they win this case, it will be nothing but a defeat for free speech and a victory for Southworth's own ideological purposes. Southworth, a member of the College Republicans and the Campus Crusade for Christ at Wisconsin, isn't being forced to commit sacrilege to his political or religious beliefs by indirectly supporting Wisconsin's International Socialist Organization or the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Campus Center. He is only paying his dues as a student - which gives him full right to protest at the Associated Students of Madison' (Wisconsin's student government) budget meeting each semester. If one follows the train of Southworth's argument, he would be supporting causes contrary to his own ideals just by paying tuition at Wisconsin, which is known to be a fairly "liberal" university.
Even if one doesn't agree with the argument that campus should be a nondiscriminatory public forum, the Supreme Court does, and legal precedent proves it. In a 1995 case called Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, the Court ruled that the use of student fees to finance a Christian newspaper did not violate the Constitution because the students were financing a forum, not individual speakers. The creation of this forum lies at the heart of the student fee allocation system, and is a necessary function of a university. Free speech challenges to this system, such as Southworth's, are limited precisely because the current system essentially produces a monetary forum for free speech. The Court cannot confirm the lower courts' decisions in the Southworth case without overturning Rosenberger.
What would be most interesting in this case is if Southworth used even a penny of student fee money to take to the courts. But it's a good bet that he's smarter than that. He, of all people, should know that free speech doesn't always come for free.

I first, I was most sadder Body President Korb Maxwell recite a blatantly scripted question designed to help Greg Mucci, the director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, present prepared data insinuating that the Jaybowl is nothing more than a waste of space. If wasting space is such a concern, why overlook the extensive and virtually unused fourth floor lobby area?

I will be here to help you.
You see, I sat in on the town hall meeting Feb. 1, where there was a discussion about plans to renovate the Kansas Union, and there were some things that occurred that really made me sad.
Removal of Jaybowl lanes could reduce Union traffic
Second, it was rather disturbing to see Mr. Maxwell
come into the meeting late, speak his given role and then leave early. It's difficult to imagine how something that has turned into such a hot issue can be of so little importance to the person whose main purpose is to represent the students who have decided that this issue is, in fact, of such great importance.
First, I was most saddened to hear Student
Third, it was very disappointing to hear the repeated suggestion that the almost 5,000 signatures on the petition to save the lanes practically could be nullified because the student body was "uninformed." What's disappointing about this is that the people who are supposed to represent the students deem these students to be ignorant and seem to prefer it that way.
I am not a bowler. However, I'd like to talk about the Jaybowl.
The fourth thing that frightens and saddens me is a trend that's starting to develop. Mr. Mucci repeatedly claimed that more lounge area needs to be made available to the students, and although there is considerable lounge area on the fourth floor, he claims it is "inadequate," thus rendering something that was previously only rarely frequented into something now abandoned.
In addition, after supplying that the Jaybowl lanes aren't pulling their own weight. Mr. Muccol's solution is to entirely eliminate them. What's so disturbing is just this: When an
Here are some apparently overlooked points: First, some of the Computer Center users are also Jaybowl users, so all of the traffic will definitely not be entirely new. Second, if so many people use the Computer Center at its current location, then many aren't going to be willing to go all the way across campus. Fourth, most Computer Center users are there to work and not to spend money — to some extent this will still hold true, thus lowering expected potential revenue. Fifth, some current users may even visit this new "cybercafé," not like it and never return.
If each of these overlooked problems cuts the "traffic" of 170,000 by a mere 10 percent (certainly an underestimation), then you're down to barely half of what is expected and not marginally more than the Jaybowl pulls in now, let alone what it could pull in were it given the renovation it deserves.
Why can't you fix the Jaybowl just be enhanced? Why not fix up the fourth floor lounge? Why not renovate the existing lanes? Why give up on what you've got? If the computers don't pull the much-heralded "traffic" that Mr. Mucci and Mr. Maxwell expect, are we just going to burn the Union down?
Speaking of "traffic," this seems to be the favorite argument against the lanes at the Jaybowl. Mr. Mucci claims that the existing Computer Center sees about 170,000 people. Therefore, moving the computers to the Union would bring about 170,000 "new" customers. And coupled with an all-night café, this is supposed to bring greater revenue.
existing lounge is inadequate, Mr. Mucci abandons it; when existing lanes don't seem to sufficiently be producing revenue, Mr. Mucci eliminates them. So within one year of arriving here, Mr. Mucci is already setting a trend of destruction and abandonment.
Finally, the people who want to remove the lanes and replace them with computers claim that their interests are in the "future" of the Union. The problem is that as the future becomes the present, we'll be seeing more and more students with their own computers.
But, show me just one student who has his or her own bowling lane. I graciously rest my case.

Fraternity expands to KU
By Jessie Meyer

By the end of the month, there will be a new fraternity on the KU campus.
"We are looking for top quality men," said Michael Young, leadership consultant for the Pi Kappa Phi national headquarters. "When we leave, we will leave a fully operational fraternity."
Although there is no house for the fraternity right now, the fraternity will commit to a lease as soon as either a house or a property is available, said Kevin Ohaver, Pi Kappa Phi leadership consultant.
"Our goal is to get a house ASAP," said Kevin Nicoletti, Pi Kappa Phi leadership consultant. "Next to recruitment, it is our top priority."
Nicoletti said that he aimed at recruiting about 70 members for the fraternity but that he would not change the standards of the national fraternity to reach that point.
Pi Kappa Phi is the first fraternity to colonize from scratch at the University since 1954 — a feat Young said was exciting, but required a lot of hard work.
Because the fraternity is starting from scratch this spring, the future members will be responsible for setting their own rules and regulations, including details about the operation of the fraternity, fees and house rules.
J. J. Cook, Overland Park freshman and one of eight men who attended an informational meeting last night, said the chance to create a fraternity he could be proud of was a driving factor in his interest in Pi Kappa Phi.
"I pledged a fraternity in the fall, and I didn't like it because they have a 'be my brother, but be my slave' attitude." Cook said.
Cook was concerned with how the new fraternity would deal with issues such as hazing.
"They say they don't haze at the beginning," Cook said of the fraternity to which he had pledged. "But after you're in, they admit it."
Nationally, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity prides itself on its philanthropic work. Young said.
"In 1977 we became the first fraternity to found its own philanthropy," Young said. "It will definitely be very important at KU."
Pi Kappa Phi members will be strict academic standards. Nationally, Pi Kappa Phi members are required to maintain a 2.2 grade point average to remain active in the house, but more will be expected from the KU chapter, Young said.
"We will have higher standards here at KU," Young said. "We are hiring an academic coach who will be a resource for the students to help with academic success."
Also of utmost importance for
Three representatives from the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity national headquarters will be on campus until at least March 6, recruiting the chapter's founding fathers. During that time, there will be a series of informational meetings, personal interviews, group meetings and, finally, member selection.
"It is an on-campus recruitment and marketing program," said Bill Nelson, director of greek programs. "The representatives are really excited to be expanding at KU."
Informational meetings will be held at 7 tonight and Thursday at Alcove A in the Kansas Union. For more information, contact the temporary Pl Kappa Phi expansion office at 479-4445 or visit www.pikapp.org.
State Board of Education will not review standards
The Kansas State Board of Education reversed itself yesterday and voted 5-4 not to send its controversial science education standards to an outside agency for review.
By Jim O'Malley writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
The Board has been embroiled in controversy since its 6-4 decision in August to de-emphasize evolution in its science standards. In December, the Board voted 9-1 to adopt slightly revised standards and send them to an outside agency.
The Board's reversal of its December vote last night sparked new criticism from defenders of evolution.
Jack Krebs, a member of Kansas Citizens for Science, said that the standards were scientifically unsound and that the Board was afraid to submit its standards to a qualified reviewer.
But Board members cited concerns about the process for hiring a reviewer.
After a complex bidding process, a three-person committee including Board members Janet Waugh and Linda Holloway recommended the Board award the contract to StandardsWork, Inc. for $8,850.
But State Department of Education officials said the state's Open Meetings Law prevented the
As a result, only Waugh and Holloway knew anything about the bidders.
full Board from having any access to information about other bidders.
Holloway drew a laugh from other Board members shortly before the vote when she asked, "Are there any other questions we can't answer?"
Board member Val DeFever urged the Board to proceed with external review. She said that she was encouraged by the sense of responsibility shown by the December vote and that to change course now would send the wrong message.
But other Board members said they were concerned there wouldn't be enough time to consider changes in statewide science testing based on the reviewer's recommendations.
"Why pay someone to criticize something we've already adopted?" said Board member John Bacon.
Board member Scott Hill said that he had no problems with a review and that testing could start even if the Board was considering changes based on the review.
But Hill, Waugh, DeFever, and I.B. "Sonny" Rundell were in the minority when it came time to vote. Bill Wagonon, who voted against the standards in August and against external review in December, was not present for the vote.
Zoning may hit sex stores

They heard from concerned residents, including three Cordley Elementary School students.
City commissioners voted unanimously last night to move aggressively against stores that sell predominantly sex-oriented material.
Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., is located near Cordley, 1837 Vermont St., and they said the store's location was inappropriate.
David Corliss, director of legal services for the city, said the city staff would follow the commissioners' wishes.
"We want as aggressive an ordinance as can be legally sustained," Cordliss said.

Traffic flow slow at Burge
Senate considers improvements, changes to union
By Erin R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Concerns about the lack of traffic in the Burge Union may prompt changes, including updated decor and a new sign, that would draw students to its location east of Daisy Hill.
“This is the bastard child of the union system," joked Cameron Popp. Student Union Activities president, at last week's Student Senate meeting at the Pioneer Room in Burge. "We have to make it a viable resource for the campus."
Popp was at the Senate meeting to present information and proposed changes that would make students frequent Burge more often.
Mike Swalm, assistant manager of the Kansas and Burge Unions, said a committee of staff and students had been looking at ways to rejuvenate Burge since September.
"We do think the Burge has a great future, and we are on west campus where the University seems to be growing." Swalm said.
Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Kansas and Burge unions, said counters had been installed to measure the number of customers going through Burge.
Burge was built as a satellite union to serve residents of Daisy Hill and to provide union services in that area of campus, Popp said. Burge was built lh 1980, and Popp said the brown and orange decor showed the building's age.
"The interior is aging and fading,
and it looks dated," Popp said.
Popp said there was a possibility that a focus group could direct changes to the building's interior.
The third floor will get new tiles and paint, and a new roof will be installed during spring break, Popp said.
Popp said David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge unions, had outlined other problem areas in the building, which included signs that didn't stand out from the building and the lack of a highly visible front entrance.
"No one is really sure which door is
the front door," Popp said.
Pop said an expensive solution, an electronic marquis could be added to the building's exterior.
Although students may know that Burge offers food services and a bookstore, Popp said he didn't think many students knew of the offices located on the first floor of Burge, like Career and Employment Services for Students and Legal Services for Students. Moreover, Popp said the offices were in a less than desirable location.
"It has a very bunker or submarine feel." Poon said.
Collette Philpot, supervisor for food services at Burge, said the Crimson Cafe was used by students coming from Green Hall and athletes coming from Anschutz Sports Pavilion. However, Popp said making grab-and-go meals available would draw more Daisy Hill residents.
Philpot said Burge would not honor the residence hall meal plan card, however.
Tanisha Jones, Nunnemaker senator and Wichita junior, said she was concerned about parking near Burge. The parking lot is often full during basketball games, which makes it hard to attend meetings. Jones said.

Healthy diet not priority
Busy schedules affect student eating habits
By Warisa Chulindra
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Aaron Bono, Lawrence senior,
eats one meal a day. Even then, it's
not until three or four in the afternoon
and it's from a restaurant.
"With work and school, healthy eating becomes such an unimportant thing," he said.
For many University of Kansas students, finding the time and means to eat healthily is a problem. As he munched on nachos, Shawn Krugel, Tulsa, Okla., senior, said, "I haven't eaten healthy for the past four years. I like to cook, but it takes too much time."
To help students change their poor eating habits, Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, will present the first "Focus on Health" seminar of the
semester from 6 to 7 tonight at the Oliver Hall lobbv.
She will talk about healthier options for students eating on the run.
Chapman said the most common complaint she heard from students was that they were so busy that often the quickest food was fast food.
Chapman said there were more overweight Americans than ever before, college students included. She attributed this trend to unhealthy eating habits.
At the seminar students also will receive handouts about the food pyramid, the body mass index risk for diseases and the better options available when eating fast food.
"I think that's a legitimate reason," she said. "I think we live in a fast-paced society and so some health habits suffer. It all bolts down to wanting a healthier diet."
Health educators at Watkins began the health seminars last semester to help students make healthier choices and to give them the opportunity to meet Watkins
staff in a different environment.
"We want them to know who we are," said Julie Francis, health educator at Watkins.
Last semester, Watkins held seven seminars, which drew 4 to 16 students, many of whom went for a class requirement, Francis said.
Because the seminars were not as successful as they could have been, organizers changed the format, she said. Instead of having two seminars a month, there will be one seminar a month so more time can be devoted to the topic. Instead of having the seminars at the KU Visitor Center, they will be at different residence halls.
Watkins also received suggestions on topic ideas from programming representatives at the residence halls. In March the seminar will focus on spring break concerns such as alcohol, sex, sunscreen and vaccines. In April the seminar will focus on fitness.
"It's really all it could be," Francis said. "I really do think taking it to the halls will make a big difference."
Former engineering professor dies
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Edward J. McBride, retired professor emeritus of mechanical engineering, died of poor health conditions Saturday at his home in Lawrence. McBride was 86.
Helen McBride, whom he married in 1942, said he had a stroke in August of 1955 and that his health had not been the same since.
Edward J. McBride joined the School of Engineering faculty in 1952, where he taught until 1982.
He was chairman of the mechanical engineering department from 1952 to 1962. McBride's areas of specialization included vibration, stress analysis and power plant equipment. In 1973, McBride was awarded the prestigious HOPE award for excellence in teaching.
McBride earned his undergraduate degree from Villanova University in 1934. He was awarded his doctorate in mechanical engineering from Harvard University in 1949.
His wife said he was a dedicated teacher and an avid handball player who had influenced the lives of many students.
"Every year around Christmas, several of his former students would come from out of the woodwork and contact him to tell him how much they learned from him," she said.
George Forman, retired professor emeritus of mechanical engineering, said McBride was a good friend who loved his students and was an athlete at heart.
"He had very practical information to give to his students." Forman said. "He always had their interests in mind."
Prior to joining the University faculty, McBride worked in the private sector for the Westinghouse Corp. and American Machine and Foundry
Corp. Throughout his career, he also collaborated on many projects for the Atomic Energy Commission.
McBride is survived by his wife Helen and three daughters, Ann McBride, Middleton, Wis.; Mary McBride, Des Moines, Iowa; and Margaret McBride, San Antonio, Texas; one son, Edward J. Jr. McBride, Colorado Springs, Colo.; a sister, Margaret McBride, swarthmore, Pa.; a brother, Thomas J. McBride, Wallingford, Pa.; and nine grandchildren.
Services for McBride will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at St. John Evangelist Catholic Church, 1229 Vermont St.
The family asked that memorials be sent to St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church Building Fund or the Douglas County Visiting Nurses Association of Lawrence in care of Warren McElwain Mortuary 120 West 13th St, Lawrence, KS, 66044.

British government seeks to strip Northern Ireland of its power
The Associated Press
LONDON — Lawmakers overwhelmingly passed a bill yesterday that would allow the British government to strip Northern Ireland's fledgling administration of its powers this week — an emergency measure meant to prevent its total collapse.
The measure is expected to become law tomorrow once it goes through the House of Lords.
The 352-11 House of Commons vote came after Britain's Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Mandelson warned that legislators had no choice following the Irish Republican Army's refusal to disarm in support of the province's 1998 peace accord.
The major Protestant party within the power-sharing Cabinet, the Ulster Unionists, agreed to form the four-party coalition — which includes the IRA-linked Simn Fein — only on condition that IRA would begin to disarm.
A disarmament commission's report last week said the IRA had made no concrete commitments, triggering the crisis.
Mandelson, who transferred considerable responsibilities to the Belfast administration only two months ago, said in these circumstances it was clearly foreseeable that the body would simply fall apart if powers were not immediately taken back.
Gerry Adams directly appealed to Prime Minister 'Tony Blair not to suspend the administration's powers, warning it would render any start to IRA disarmament impossible. But the Cabinet's senior Catholic minister, Seamus Mallon, warned that the looming suspension could prove permanent.
He cited his personal experience in Northern Ireland's only previous attempt to share power between Protestants and Catholics, a Cabinet that collapsed in 1974.
Politicians then had hoped that the Cabinet would soon resume operations, he recalled. "It was resumed," he said. "It took one quarter of a century to resume it."
Clinton bars genetic discrimination
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Responding to fears that advances in medical research could be abused by employers and others, President Clinton barred federal agencies yesterday from discriminating against their employees on the basis of genetic tests.
Clinton expressed his amazement at the rapid progress that science had made in understanding human genetics, and he said that it was time to consider the consequences.
"This extraordinary march of human understanding imposes on us a profound responsibility to make sure that the age of discovery can continue to reflect our most cherished values," he told an American Association for the Advancement of Science audience.
In addition to the order, Clinton supported the pending bills, which would prohibit all employers from refusing to hire people at risk for health problems and insurers from refusing to sell them coverage.
The president said concerns about the use of genetic information could discourage people from seeking crucial tests that would improve their lives.
"If we do not protect the right to privacy, we may actually impede the reach of these breakthroughs in the lives of ordinary people, which would be a profound tragedy," he said.
Supporters said they hoped Clinton's action on behalf of federal workers would focus attention on the need to take similar steps to protect private-sector employees.

KU to study breast cancer
By Warisa Chulindra
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas Medical Center and the Kansas Cancer Institute are recruiting postmenopausal women to participate in one of the largest breast cancer prevention studies ever undertaken in the United States.
The National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project are conducting the Study of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene — two medications that are supposed to help prevent breast cancer — at more than 400 hospitals and clinics nationwide and in Canada and Puerto Rico. The study will examine whether Raloxifene is as effective as Tamoxifen in reducing the occurrence of breast cancer in high-risk women.
If the study shows that Raloxifene is as effective as Tamoxifen, it could be used for women who experience side effects from Tamoxifen, which include blood clots in the lungs and an increased chance of a stroke.
Through physician referrals, mailings, education programs and press releases, the Med Center and the Kansas Cancer Institute have recruited 33 women, said Renea Studer, registered nurse and study coordinator at the Med Center and the Kansas Cancer Institute. The Med Center and the Kansas Cancer Institute are continuing to recruit women with the goal of having 600 participants by July 1, 2004, Studer said.
Participants will take two pills a day for five years. One pill will be Tamoxifen or Raloxifene, and the other will be a placebo. A doubleblinding process will be used so that neither the participant nor the doctor will know which pill is which.
Participants will receive mammograms, physical exams and gynecological exams on a regular basis.
After the women stop taking the pills, the effects of the medication will be followed for an additional two years. Clinical trials will follow, along with studies on the safety of Raloxifene on premenopausal women.
RISK FACTORS
Age. The risk for cancer increases as a woman ac
Number of first-degree relatives with breast cancer. When breast cancer has been diagnosed in a relative, a woman is at greater risk
Whether a woman had any children and age at first delivery. Not having children increases risk, and the older a woman is when her first child is born, the higher the risk.
The number of breast biopsies a woman has had. More breast biopsies increase the risk of cancer, especially if the tissue showed a condition known as atypical hyperplasia.
The woman's age of her first menstrual period. The younger a woman is, the greater the risk.

they've got your number
W
hen the phone rings at Dusty Coultis' apartment, he and his three roommates do not answer the call right away.
Each student has a Caller ID display unit in his bedroom, allowing him to quickly and easily check the caller's name and telephone number.
It helps the students to avoid people they do not want to talk to, and the roommate whom the call is for answers it.
"I always have to check who's calling before I pick it up," said Coultis, Bucyrus sophomore, who has used Caller ID for several years. "It would be a big adjustment if I didn't have it."
Phone companies say Caller ID units, which provide subscribers with the caller's name, number and time and date of call, have become one of the most popular telephone options since they became available to the public about five or six years ago. Companies say it has dramatically changed the way people use the phone.
Changing the Phone Industry
"This is the biggest thing to come along in the phone industry since the cordless phone," said Terry Kroon, assistant manager at Office Depot, 2525 Iowa St.
He said more and more phone manufacturers had started introducing models with the display units built in. Between 30 and 40 percent of the phones sold at Office Depot include Caller ID features, he said.
"I always have to check who's calling before I pick it up," said Dusty Coultis, Bucyrus sophomore, who has used Caller ID for several years. "It would be a big adjustment if I didn't have it."
Story by Lori O'Toole Photos by Lucas Krump
Kroon said the cordless phones with the display unit on the receiver were the most popular.
"It itmes it easier for the user, and they don't have to worry about connecting the table-top units," he said.
Liz Villanueva, a Southwestern Bell sales agent who works in the corporate office in San Antonio, Texas, estimated that more than 90 percent of the company's customers had Caller ID.
She said that although the company did not track use in specific regions, there probably were hundreds of Caller ID users in the Lawrence area. The price in Kansas is about $7.50 a month through Southwestern Bell.
"I only talk to about 10 people a day that don't have it," Villanueva said, adding that she usually speaks to about 150 customers daily.
Shari Ernst, operations manager of BasicPhone, a company that also provides Caller ID to Lawrence residents, said a little more than 30 percent of her 13,000 customers had the service.
BasicPhone, based in Orange, Texas, also offers the option of Call Waiting ID. With this service, subscribers can see information about incoming callers while they are talking on the other line. However, this function only operates if the user already has both Call Waiting and Caller ID. She said this service had become increasingly popular since it became available about a year and a half ago.
According to Southwestern Bell representatives, more than 90 percent of the company's customers have Caller ID. One of the most popular phone options, Caller ID has revolutionized phone use.
Ernst said that the Caller ID service cost between $8 and $10 a month and that Call Waiting ID cost between $10 and $15 a month.
"As common and popular as it is becoming, it will make straight Caller ID obsolete," she said. "It's gotten insane with the screening, but I guess that's what the public wants and what they're paying for."
Caller ID Uses
Erika Dodd, Topeka junior, said she has had Caller ID for about a year and a half. She said that she used it to see who called and did not leave a message and that it also offered a form of security.
"I'm a girl living without my parents, and I feel like it protects me," she said.
For example, she said she would not answer the phone if she knew beforehand that the person calling was someone who frightened her or made her nervous.
Dodd said she and her roommates mainly used Caller ID to screen calls.
There may be many reasons why a specific number would not show up on a display unit, instead saying "out of area," "unavailable" or "blocked." A number may be unlisted or a call may be long distance. Pay phones also often show up that way, and callers can have their numbers blocked by pressing *67* before dialing.
"If it's out of area, we usually don't answer it unless we're expecting a long-distance call," she said.
Ernst said many telemarketing companies paid for the option of having their numbers unlisted to reduce the chances of residents not answering their phone.
Dodd said that was one of the reasons why she and roommates did not answer such calls. She said they ignored about 10 to 15 out-of-area calls each week.
Billy Pike, assistant manager at GECKO Communications, a telemarketing service at 2449 Iowa St. said Caller
"When you're making so many calls, someone's going to answer the phone," he said. "In the long run, we're still dialing. It's not a concern."
Kansas law requires telemarketing companies to register on Caller ID units unless their technology is incapable of doing so.
FILM, DV, CCTV, HD, TV
A REMOTE
ID had not harmed the business.
Sherry Hoover, Parkville, Mo., freshman and McCollum Hall resident, said she probably would subscribe to the service if it were available. She said she and her roommate purchased an answering machine when they first arrived on campus and learned that Caller ID was not available.
Caller ID Limitations
The Caller ID option is unavailable to more than 3,500 students living in university housing, including scholarship halls and resident halls.
Another limitation of the service concerns many students who have roommates.
Because phone numbers usually are registered in one person's name, Caller IDs may be misleading because they show one name when it is actually another person calling.
"It isn't as secure without it," she said. "It would be helpful."
Most phone services can change the name registered with a telephone number, making it convenient for students to have their name — or someone else's — listed with their numbers.
"One of our friends changed his number to Gunther Cunningham (Kansas City Chiefs head coach), and we thought it would be cool to do something like that," he said. "We thought it was so funny."
Chris Pivonka, Alameda, Calif., senior, and his three roommates have their number listed under a phony identity: Pat and Carrie Manuts. Pivonka said he admitted it was vulgar, but the humor made it worthwhile.
Pivonka said he and his roommates' parents and friends all got a laugh at their phony identification. But he said he and his roommates relied on their Caller ID unit for more than just a chuckle.
"I've had it for four of five years," he said. "I check it all the time."

Photo by Nick Krug/KANSAN
Hoglund Ballpark could be relocated to Mudville at this rate. Kansas baseball has seen better days. It was only seven years ago when the 'Hawks went to the College World series, and last year's 14-40 team was a far cry from that. Better days are ahead though. Kansas is young, and it has talent and determination. Hoglund Ballpark has charm; quarter-dog nights are the best deal around; and baseball is still America's pastime. It adds up to a season of promise especially if you like hot dogs.

These three guys may have the tallest task on campus. Lead a team that often seemed lost. Teach new players what it means to wear a Kansas jersey. Help old players forget last year's disappointments in those same uniforms.
Kansas baseball captains Pete Smart, Shane Wedd and Ryan Schmidt have their work cut out for them.
"They were chosen by their team because of their work ethic and attitude," said coach Bobby Randall. "They are a good example of what a baseball program should be — loyalty, commitment to a team and hard workers."
The captains should lead by example and be representatives of good baseball.
"They need to be the most vocal guys on the team," said junior John Nelson. "They need to go out there and play hard. If they see a place for improvement, they need to say something."

Some like the college game...
What should University of Kansas students be thinking about here in the middle of February?
Baseball, of course!
10. At least you won't be as cold as the players. These guys get an unpleasant stinging sensation every time they hit the ball with their aluminum bats. Sure, they wear batting gloves, but trust me, it still hurts.
That's right, the Jayhawk baseball season begins Saturday, and even though it's going to be cold this weekend, students should start going to baseball games and support our men in the dugout.
Whv? It's simple
9. Reward the team's hard work. These guys practice all year for a sport that isn't too winter-friendly. They also are Jayhawks, and need support just as bad as the basketball team.
8. A beautiful ballpark. The renovations made to Hoglund Ballpark give Kansas an alluring venue to attract recruits and a great place to watch baseball. It's not Wrigley Field, but for Kansas it's the next best thing.
6. The Jayhawks can't be any worse than they were last year. After posting a 14-40 record, including home losses to Baker and Oral Roberts, and going 4-26 in the Big 12 Conference, the 'Hawks only can improve
7. Sudan factor. On those warm spring days, there isn't better place to get that golden tan than at the ballpark. You'll want to wear shorts, and on those first few nice days of spring, there's no better feeling in the world.
5. Baseball is America's pastime. Sure, professionals make millions in a watered-down major league, but these guys play for the love of the game. Some even play without receiving full athletic scholarships. Now that's something that could make the old-timers of baseball proud.
4. The Big 12 is loaded with talent. Six teams in the Big 12 are ranked in the Top 25. Most likely, a team will play Kansas at home that will go on to play in the College World Series. Kansas is scheduled home games with nationally-ranked Texas Tech and Texas A&M, along with perennial baseball powers Creighton and Wichita State.
3. The ballpark atmosphere. Where else can you get away with eating peanuts out of the shell and spit sunflower seeds all over the place? You might even be lucky enough to catch a foul ball. Take your mitt.
2. Admission is free for students. Not only will your KUID get you into the game for nothing, so this year's home games are during the afternoon. And that won't interfere with that night's bar regimen.
And finally, the No. 1 reason why you should go to Kansas baseball games this spring . . . Quarter Dog Day. Anywhere you can get four hot dogs for a buck should be a national landmark. At a major league game, a dog will run you at least $2.50 each. You can buy TEN for that price on quarter dog day! And remember, the condiments are free!
So try to make it to at least one game this spring. If it's a nice day and you've got nothing to do, stop by the ballpark, just south of Allen Fieldhouse. It will be a good experience, I promise you.
And don't forget the sunflower seeds — a baseball necessity.

Kansas lineup to combine veterans with newcomers
By Amanda Kaschube
sports@kansan.com
Kansan salsowriter
Maybe the Kansas baseball team has been working too hard. After all, the players and their coach Bobby Randall, have set their goals on a Big 12 Conference Tournament berth — and they aren't kidding.
But that could be a tough task in a conference that already has six of its eleven teams ranked in the Top 50 in preseason polls. Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Nebraska will be among the top schools that will be ready for Kansas' challenge.
"Last year we got down early in all of our areas — offense, defense and pitching," said Rusty Philbrick, senior pitcher. "We didn't play to our ability. We just need to go out there and play hard. We have to win the first game."
"We're going to win the Big 12, then go on to the College World Series," said Brandon O'Neal, junior pitcher. "We have a lot of talent, and we have a good chance if we all believe."
Randall agreed that the Jayhawks had a long road ahead of them.
"We're going to try and play good baseball and not give up until it's over," he said. "You can have a good team and not have a winning record because of the tough competition in the conference. We have our work cut out for us."
After finishing last season 14-40 and 4-26 in the Big 12, the Jayhawks have gained the experience and motivation they lacked last season. They return nine to the mound, most of their infield
and outfield, and have brought 18 new players onto the team. Randall said all of that would help the team surprise a lot of people.
"We're so pleased with the good nucleus of returners we have back," he said. "The obvious improvements from last year are depth — both on the mound and in the field, along with catching and team speed. All of our veterans came back better players this fall. This is probably the hardest-working team we've ever had. We've got a lot to prove."
"He throws pretty hard so we're going to use him."

Thomas dies; Chiefs mourn
MIAMI — NFL star Derrick Thomas died yesterday morning in a hospital where he was being treated for injuries from a car crash that left him paralyzed from the chest down. He was 33.
Officials with the Kansas City Chiefs said he died of a heart attack. Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami attributed the cause to a cardiac-respiratory arrest. Barth Green, one of Thomas' physicians, said a massive blood clot probably killed him.
The Associated Press

"He was upbeat, he was positive, he was Derrick," said a tearful Peterson, wearing a button with Thomas' No. 58.
Thomas, a nine-time Pro Bowl player and one of football's most feared pass rushers, had been heading to the Kansas City airport with two companions to fly to St. Louis for the NFC title game.
Thomas was injured Jan. 23 when the car he was driving flipped on an icy road. His friend was killed in the crash.
"Derrick Thomas leaves a tremendously positive legacy that will permanently enrich everyone whose life he touched," said NFL commissioner Paul Tagliaube.
"We will not only miss his Sunday afternoon blitzes, but his commitment to the sport and his community," he said.
While Thomas' volunteer work was prominent in Kansas City, it expanded to the Lawrence community as well.

Twenty-five years later, Kansas is finally getting with it.

Multi-talented athlete leaves basketball for track

Amanda Reves, a four-year academic All-Big 12 selection from the Kansas volleyball team, has left the women's basketball team and now is running track for the Jayhawks.
Reves practiced with the track and field team yesterday and will run the 400- and 800-meter events this season, said Elliot Bloom of the Kansas sports information office.
Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington said after Sunday's victory against Oklahoma State that Reves, who walked on the team after completing her volleyball career, had quit.
Reves' identical twin sister, Brooke, is a junior forward for the Jayhawks' basketball team. Amanda will be completing a practicum in the School of Social
Welfare next year and would not have been able to play basketball next season.
"Everybody wants to play," she said.
"And I understand that. But this year, with the new offense, it was difficult. The players that started on this offense in the preseason had such a great head start."
Washington said that Amanda decided to leave because she had not received as
much playing time as she originally had hoped and because she wanted to devote more time to academics.
Despite making only five appearances and averaging 0.8 points and 0.2 rebounds a game, Amanda, and the rest

Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard echoed Washington's sentiments about Amanda's on- and off-the-court accomplishments.
"I can speak of what she's done for the volleyball program and she speaks volumes," he said of Amanda, who is Kansas' all-time blocks, assists and kills leader. "You say student-athlete, and in the dictionary you see her picture next to it."
Bechard, who is in his third year as Kansas' coach, said he had talked to Amanda before she joined the basketball
Bechard also was aware that Amanda might run track and field this spring. He said that whatever she decided would be well thought out and in her best interests.

Under NCAA rules, Amanda is allowed to compete this academic year, which is her fourth year of eligibility, and the 2000-01 year in a sport other than volleyball.
She can play both volleyball and track this year because the sports are in the same academic year and count against only one year of her eligibility. If Amanda decides to compete in track and field next season, it would be her fifth and final year of eligibility.

Linebacker's legacy marred by fatal mistake
It was a sunny Veterans Day in 1990, and Thomas was on fire.
Such is the case of Chiefs' linebacker Derrick Thomas, who died yesterday at age 33. Before the examination of his legacy can begin, venture back to the day when Thomas' football legacy was made.
Sometimes the course of a life can change as quickly as the drop of a quarterback or a split-second decision upon getting into an automobile.
Then, Krieg turned downfield. So did the fortunes of Thomas and the Chiefs. Using one last speck of energy, Krieg escaped Thomas, then fired a strike to a wideout for the touchdown. Thomas sauntered off the field in disbelief as the scoreboard above him glared "Seattle 17, Kansas City 16."
He sacked Seattle quarterback Dave Krieg an NFL-record seven times, and lined up on the final snap of the game for one last kill. With Kansas City leading by six points and the Seahawks driving in Chiefs territory, Thomas engulfed Krieg nearly the second the ball was snapped.
While Thomas and Kansas City would have glories, that bright day in Arrowhead Stadium is the microcosm of Thomas' life: oh, what could have been.
Twice in the 1990s, when the Chiefs sported the top record in the NFL, Kansas City was eliminated in the second round of the plavoffs.
On a snowy day in late January, Thomas and one of his best friends — Michael Tellis of Kansas City — took off for KCI. Near the airport, Thomas' car hit a patch of ice and flipped. Tellis was dead upon impact. Thomas, who was paralyzed by the wreck, lived only 16 more days.
The last game Thomas ever played was in the first weekend of the new millennium. With a victory, Kansas City could wrap up the AFC West title and a home playoff game. But Kansas City surrendered a 17-point lead and lost 41-38 to the Oakland Raiders.
By now, nearly everyone in the Kansas City area knows the story of Thomas and his tragic beginning. Thomas' father, Robert Thomas, was an Air Force pilot during the Vietnam War, where his plane was shot down in 1972 on a mission ironically called "Linebacker 2." Thomas' father would live eight more years, but only to a portion of his capabilities. His father was declared legally dead in 1980, and Thomas dedicated his efforts against Seattle to his deceased dad.
While Thomas quickly became known for his accomplishments on the field, it was his work in the community that endeared him to Chiefs fans. He read to children at local libraries to promote literacy. He was Kansas City's main United Way spokesman. He was designated as one of former President George Bush's "points of light". In 1993, he was named the NFL man of the year for his efforts.
While no one is in denial of Thomas' great 33 years, the future school children of America sadly won't learn about Derrick Thomas, great linebacker and man. They will learn of Derrick Thomas, the man who had everything going for him, but then ended it by not wearing his seat belt.
Thomas' life could have left a legacy on the world that few athletes could ever touch. But his decision to not put on a simple safety device will leave his sterling legacy with one black mark.
Now, with his death, Thomas will promote seat belts more than literacy or charity. By his split-second decision not to wear his seat belt on that snowy day in January, Thomas compromised his great legacy and became a statistic in the process.
According to "Buckle Up America," one American is killed every hour because he or she didn't buckle up.
Yesterday, at 11:10 central time, Thomas became part of this statistic, and his legacy will never be the same.
Oh, what could have been.

A tall task ahead
Photo by Nick Krug/KANSAN
Hoglund Ballpark could be relocated to Mudville at this rate. Kansas baseball has seen better days. It was only seven years ago when the 'Hawks went to the College World series, and last year's 14-40 team was a far cry from that. Better days are ahead though. Kansas is young, and it has talent and determination. Hoglund Ballpark has charm; quarter-dog nights are the best deal around; and baseball is still America's pastime. It adds up to a season of promise especially if you like hot dogs.
Story by Amanda Kaschube
These three guys may have the tallest task on campus. Lead a team that often seemed lost. Teach new players what it means to wear a Kansas jersey. Help old players forget last year's disappointments in those same uniforms.
Kansas baseball captains Pete Smart, Shane Wedd and Ryan Schmidt have their work cut out for them.
"They were chosen by their team because of their work ethic and attitude," said coach Bobby Randall. "They are a good example of what a baseball program should be — loyalty, commitment to a team and hard workers."
The captains should lead by example and be representatives of good baseball.
"They need to be the most vocal guys on the team," said junior John Nelson. "They need to go out there and play hard. If they see a place for improvement, they need to say something."

Some like the college game...
What should University of Kansas students be thinking about here in the middle of February?
That's right, the Jayhawk baseball season begins Saturday, and even though it's going to be cold this weekend, students should start going to baseball games and support our men in the dugout.
Baseball, of course!
Why? It's simple.
10. At least you won't be as cold as the players. These guys get an unpleasant stinging sensation every time they hit the ball with their aluminum bats. Sure, they wear batting gloves, but trust me, it still hurts.
9. Reward the team's hard work. These guys practice all year for a sport that isn't too winter-friendly. They also are Jayhawks, and need support just as bad as the basketball team.
B. A beautiful ballpark. The renovations made to Hogglund Ballpark give Kansas an alluring venue to attract recruits and a great place to watch baseball. It's not Wrigley Field, but for Kansas it's the next best thing.
6. The Jayhawks can't be any worse than they were last year. After posting a 14-40 record, including home losses to Baker and Oral Roberts, and going 4-26 in the Big 12 Conference, the "Hawks only can improve."
7. Suntan factor. On those warm spring days, there isn't better place to get that golden tan than at the ballpark. You'll want to wear shorts, and on those first few nice days of spring, there's no better feeling in the world.
5. Baseball is America's pastime. Sure, professionals make millions in a watered-down major league, but these guys play for the love of the game. Some even play without receiving full athletic scholarships. Now that's something that could make the old-timers of baseball proud.
4. The Big 12 is loaded with talent. Six teams in the Big 12 are ranked in the Top 25. Most likely, a team will play Kansas at home that will go on to play in the College World Series. Kansas is scheduled home games with nationally-ranked Texas Tech and Texas A&M, along with perennial baseball powers Creighton and Wichita State.
3. The ballpark atmosphere Where else can you get away with eating peanuts out of the shell and spit sunflower seeds all over the place? You might even be lucky enough to catch a foul ball. Take your mitt.
2. Admission is free for students. Not only will your KUID get you into the game for nothing, so this year's home games are during the afternoon. And that won't interfere with that night's bar regimen.
And finally, the No. 1 reason why you should go to Kansas baseball games this spring... Quarter Dog Day. Anywhere you can get four hot dogs for a buck should be a national landmark. At a major league game, a dog will run you at least $2.50 each. You can buy TEN for that price on quarter day day! And remember, the condiments are free!
So try to make it to at least one game this spring. If it's a nice day and you've got nothing to do, stop by the ballpark, just south of Allen Fieldhouse. It will be a good experience, I promise you.
And don't forget the sunflower seeds — a baseball necessity.

Kansas lineup to combine veterans with newcomers
By Amanda Kashube

Kansan sportswriter
Maybe the Kansas baseball team has been working too hard. After all, the players and their coach Bobby Randall, have set their goals on a Big 12 Conference Tournament berth — and they aren't kidding.
"We're going to win the Big 12, then go on to the College World Series," said Brandon O'Neal, junior pitcher. "We have a lot of talent, and we have a good chance if we all believe."
But that could be a tough task in a conference that already has six of its eleven teams ranked in the Top 50 in preseason polls. Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Nebraska will be among the top schools that will be ready for Kansas' challenge.
"Last year we got down early in all of our areas — offense, defense and pitching," said Rusty Philbrick, senior pitcher. "We didn't play to our ability. We just need to go out there and play hard. We have to win the first game."
Randall agreed that the Jayhawks had a long road ahead of them.
and outfield, and have brought 18 new players onto the team. Randall said all of that would help the team surprise a lot of people.
"We're going to try and play good baseball and not give up until it's over," he said. "You can have a good team and not have a winning record because of the tough competition in the conference. We have our work cut out for us."
After finishing last season 14-40 and 4-26 in the Big 12, the Jayhawks have gained the experience and motivation they lacked last season. They return nine to the mound, most of their infield
"We're so pleased with the good nucleus of returners we have back," he said. "The obvious improvements from last year are depth — both on the mound and in the field, along with catching and team speed. All of our veterans came back better players this fall. This is probably the hardest working team we've ever had. We've got a lot to prove."
"He throws pretty hard so we're going to use him."

Wednesday February 9,2000
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday. You're even smarter than usual this year. You already have all the answers in February. New questions require quick thinking in March — and quick action, too. Push yourself into overdrive in April, but slow to a crawl in May. You can't get where you're going without a good coach in August, and your friends will let you know when you've made it in December.
Aries: Today is a 7.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
You're looking pretty good, so don't procrastinate. Things are going well, but you shouldn't rest on past accomplishments. If you and your friends tackle a new project now, it won't take much time at all. You might even have enough left for a celebration.
You may feel slightly overwhelmed. When you decided to do this next task, it looked pretty easy. Now, you're getting into the hard part. Well, maybe that's good. Now you can prove you work well under pressure.
Gemini: Today is an 8.
You can provide a lot of good ideas to the right team. Look around. What you want is a strong leader who's headed in the right direction. You have plenty to offer, and somebody out there needs you. Don't wait for them to find you. They'll be impressed if you show initiative.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Don't expect your life to be tranquil and peaceful today. If you're on the lookout for action, however, you could be pleasantly surprised. A person who wants things done yesterday will be pleased if you're well-prepared, too.
Leo: Today is a 7.
You're a little stronger today, but you don't have a clear field yet. The person you've been squabbling with is still as stubborn as ever. This is good. The more resistance you encounter, the better your final plan. So don't fight. Work on it together.
Virgo: Today is a 5.
It's possible you'll be able to get a loan through your
work, especially if you want to buy a home. You might be
able to get something for your home, too. Check out the
possibilities and don't intimidated by a gruff person.
Libra: Today is a 7.
You and a partner could get into a hassle, but take care. The other person has the advantage, now. If you can put this off for another week, you'll have a better chance of winning. If not, well, be graceful and wise.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
You're under more tension today. It's important to move quickly to get everything done. Stay calm and try not to let them see you sweat. One of the others may go off, but if you can stay in control, you'll win
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You should be pretty well rested up by now. Romance looks good, and a new project starts to get interesting. You may not have much money, but that's OK. You may come up with a way to make more of that soon, too.
Is there something at your house you don't need any more? Something that might be of value to somebody else? Hmmm. Did you know Capricorn is the sign of the entrepreneur?
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
You're learning quickly. Aquarium is the sign of the scholar, so this should be a lot of fun. You're eager, interested and gobbling up the material. Don't try to teach anybody yet, though. Wait until you've digested it for a while, first.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You may feel rather pressed. You're pretty good at pulling strings behind the scenes to get the information you need. Ask a favor from a person who you helped out in the past. it'll be OK if it's fair and square.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan athletic director Tom Goss ended a rocky 2/1/2year reign by resigning yesterday, effective at the end of March.

department to great accomplishments."
"I want to express my admiration and gratitude for the many qualities Tom has brought to this athletic department," Bollinger said. "Tom has a deep and emotional connection to the university rooted in his days here as a student-athlete."
University president Lee Bollinger accepted the resignation.
A source close to the situation,
speaking on condition of anonymity,
said Bollinger had asked Goss to
resign. The source said Goss considered
fighting the request, but didn't.

"He didn't want to go to court," the source said.
Earlier reports had said that Goss, 53, would likely be fired if he didn't resign. Just last week, Goss rejected rumors that his resignation was imminent.
Bollinger said the reasons for Goss' resignation were far too complex for any kind of simple statement.
Goss was the Michigan's ninth athletic director — the fourth in 10 years — and the first African American to hold the job.

And what better symbol of the NCAA's history than the Flying Wedge, with six players lined up in a "V" formation and the seventh, the ball carrier, behind them. In the early 1900s, the formation was widely used in college football but resulted in many serious injuries and a number of deaths.
"It is somewhat of a celebration of sport, a celebration of what it means to be a student-athlete," NCAA president Cedric Dempsey said Tuesday. "We think there is a storyline here, more so than just walking through and seeing exhibits or reading about what's happening.

Study says supplement could be hazardous
BASEBALL
CHICAGO — Androstenedione, the supplement once used by Mark McGwire, really does raise testosterone above normal levels and could be hazardous, Harvard researchers said in a study financed by major league baseball.
The new study lasted just one week and did not measure whether andro could do what promoters have claimed — make bigger muscles. But the researchers said andro could have that effect because it increases levels of the male hor-

A study last year found that the over-the-counter drug had no effect on testosterone levels or strength and

Side effects of elevated testosterone levels include acne.

male pattern baldness and a decrease in "good" cholesterol, which could lead to heart disease. In women, high testosterone can also cause increased body hair, deepening of the voice and other male characteristics.
Andro is considered a dietary supplement, but the federal government is reviewing whether it should be reclassified as a steroid, which would remove it from store shelves and make it available by prescription only for leitimate medical uses.

It is banned by the Olympics, the NCAA, the NFL and the men's and women's tennis tours, but not by major league baseball. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig has been awaiting the Harvard study results to decide whether to take a stronger stance.
The study of 42 men found increases in testosterone levels when andro was taken for seven days in a single daily 300-milligram dose — an amount that is probably far smaller than what athletes and bodybuilders use.

Freeman sentenced in traffic accident
Freeman also was fined $1,000,
ordered to pay $315 in court costs and
perform 50 hours of community service.
Brown County Circuit Judge William Griesbach also ordered the wide receiver to pay the medical bills of Heather Molloy, the 22-year-old Great Falls, Mont., resident who was injured in the accident last December. Molloy was Freeman's passenger.
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Antonio Freeman was sentenced yesterday to a year's probation after pleading no contest to lying to police about a traffic accident.
The costs of her medical bills have not been determined, said District Attorney John Zakowski.
Freeman made no statement to the judge before he was sentenced, but said after the hearing he regretted the accident.
Freeman and wide receiver Charles Jordan were in separate vehicles Dec. 22 when Freeman's vehicle went over a curb and hit a light pole in the driveway of an Alloze restaurant, the Brown County Sheriff's Department said.
Freeman told officers he was a passenger in the other vehicle, authorities said. Brown County sheriff's deputies arrested Jordan on a charge of causing injury by operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
A witness later called authorities and told them Freeman had been in the vehicle that crashed, authorities said. Freeman then admitted he was driving the vehicle and that Jordan was a passenger in the other car, authorities said.
Jordan faces misdemeanor obstruction charges in the accident. He is due back in court March 9. He faces a one-year revocation of driving privileges for refusing to submit to a blood sample after the accident, authorities said.

Players disagree about quality of intramural game officials
By Ryan Malashock
sports@kansan.com
Kansas Sportswriter
As the intramural basketball season has moved into its second week of play, referees are continuing the tough task of keeping games under control. Sometimes games can resemble rugby matches, but the consensus is that referees have done a fair job.
Jason Krone, assistant director of recreational services, said he was encouraged by the referees' performances so far.
"Hopefully people who play, realize that the referees are also students," Krone said. "They're out there having fun the same as the players."
One complaint from players is the inexperience of some referees, but Krone said that all have gone through proper preparations.
"We held our opening meeting, which went over policies and procedures, and we also had an on-court clinic for the referees." Krone said.
The on-court clinic involved splitting the referees into stations and working on mechanics, positioning and making calls. Immediately following their station work, the referees officiated scrimmages, in which supervisors would stop games and critique their calls.
"The scrimmages really gave the officials the opportunity to get some good experience and learn, as well," Krone said.
Student reaction to the officiating this season has been mixed.
"I think the refs have been very fair," Hare said. "Play has been pretty rough at times, but if you put any kids our age in competition, it's going to be rough. Just as long as it stays on the court, and it has."
Some players complain of poor officiating, though. Dan Freyman, St. Louis, Mo., sophomore, has been frustrated by the inexperience showed by his referees.
Brad Hare, Lee's Summit, Mo., freshman, said the officials were doing things to the best of their abilities.
"Our refereeing has been pretty awful," Freyman said. "I was surprised at a lot of things that they have been calling in our games."
Krone said he had been pleased, not only with the performance of the officials, but with the conduct and sportsmanship of the teams.
Recreational services is in the midst of a sportsmanship campaign, he said. After every game, each team is given a sportsmanship rating, acceptable or unacceptable, based on that team's conduct toward officials and opponents. If a队 receives an unacceptable rating, the队 is placed on league suspension until the队 captain discusses the situation with recreational services.
Only three of 230 teams have received suspensions, and Krone is hoping to see more results.
"We're publicizing the phrase 'Integrity — the Right Choice,' and we're hoping players are thinking about that," Krone said.

Four Big 12 teams ranked nationally
By Brandon Krisztal
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Big 12 Conference once again is stacked with heavy hitters. Five of the six teams in the Big 12 South are ranked in several preseason polls.
Texas is the favorite and is ranked as high as 12th in one poll. The Longhorns lost just six lettermen and return 13 from last year's 36-26 team. The three top returns for Texas are third-team All-American pitcher Beau Hale, first baseman Jeff Ontiveros and catcher Sam Anderson.
Baylor lost Player of the Year candidate pitcher and designated hitter Jason Jennings, second baseman Eric Nelson, outfielder Jon Topolski and a lot of home run power as well as six of its top nine hitters. Despite the player exodus, the Bears rank 16th in two polls and 10th by *Baseball Weekly*. They return 18 lettermen, losing only six. The Bears' top three returnsees from last season's 50-15 team are first baseman Matt Williams, outfielder Jaime Bubela and pitcher Josh Scott.
Texas Tech falls behind Baylor at No. 18. The Red Raiders return 16 lettermen and lose 13 from last year's 42-17 team. The Raiders lost firstteam All-American catcher Josh Bard, but return thirdteam All-American pitcher Brandon Roberson, outfielder Marco Cunningham and designated hitter Chaz Eiguren.
Texas A&M coach Mark Johnson was the national coach of the year in 1999. This season he will have to show why he earned that honor because of a big void left by eight players who are playing professionally, as well losing another five lettermen. The Aggies are No. 21 and return 13 lettermen from last season's 52-18 team that went to the College World Series. The Aggies top three returners are first team All-American and NCAA home run champ outfielder Daylan Holt, fellow first team All-American pitcher Chris Russ and second baseman Sean Heaney.
Oklahoma State rounds out the ranked teams at No. 23. They will rely on their pitching staff on a team that lost 16 lettermen and returns 14. Last year's 46-21 squad
and was the only other Big 12 team in the College World Series. Firstteam All-American pitcher Matt Smith will be for the Cowboys along with outfielder Jimbo McAuliff and catcher Ryan Budde.
Oklahoma is the only Big 12 South team not in the top 25. The Sooners return 11 lettermen and lost 13 from last season's 30-29 team. Top returnees include first baseman and designated hitter Richard Park, right fielder Jeff Bajenaru and short stop Tommy Whitenau.
Nebraska is the team in the Big 12 North division making the most noise in the preseason polls, ranked among the top 40. They return 16 lettermen from last year's 42-18 team. 'Huskers coach Dave Van Horn is optimistic about his team this season, with their only significant loss coming in All-American first baseman Ken Harvey, who led the nation in hitting at .478. The 'Huskers will look for significant production from infielder Will Bolt, short stop John Cole and pitcher Shane Komine.
Missouri looks to build on a strong performance in '99. The Tigers went 37-19 last season and
finished seventh in the Big 12. The Tigers' top three players of the 15 returning lettermen are catcher Jon Williams, outfielder J.R. Warner and short stop Ryan Stegall.
Kansas State will try to improve on its strong finish at the end of the season that saw the Wildcats miss the Big 12 tournament by one spot. Last year's Wildcat squad finished three games under .500 at 26-29. Kansas State lost 13 letter winners, but returns 12. Wildcats skipper Mike Clark said he would be happy when his team's new facility Frank Myers Field opened in mid-March. His top returne, first team All-Big 12 selection outfielder Kasey Weisharr, will be joined by second baseman Chad Tabor and pitcher Jason Wells to guide the 'Cats.
Iowa State spent last season in the cellar of the Big 12. The Cyclones were 17-36 and won only two games in conference play. Coach Lyle Smith's team returns 12 lettermen and lost nine. Second-season All-American outfielder Aaron Runk is the top returnee for the Cyclones, who expect production from outfielder Ben Van Iderstine and first baseman Jade O'Brien.
Conference stocked full with baseball talent
By Brandon Krisztal
sports@kansan.com
With five Big 12 baseball teams in the top 25 and six teams ranked in the top 40 in the country, it almost goes without saying that the conference is loaded with talent at each position.
Pitcher: The most talked about pitcher in the conference is preseason first team All-American Matt Smith from Oklahoma State. He finished last season with a 9-6 record and a 3.09 ERA with 144 strikeouts and 44 walks. Last season, Smith earned second team All-American honors and was a first team All-Big 12 pick.
Texas Tech hurler Brandon Roberson is a Louisville Slugger preseason third-team All-American. Roberson began the transition from reliever to starter where he posted a 3-4 record 10 saves and .245 ERA.
Texas A&M's closer Chris Russ was named first-team All-American. Russ was 12-2 with 12 saves and 3.27 ERA.
Other notables: Beau Hale, Texas; Shane Komine, Nebraska; Jake Bjerneau, Oklahoma.
offensive numbers, but the Longhorns will rely on his defense and experience behind the plate. In his first year, Anderson hit 311 with six homers and 33 RBL.
Other notables: Jon Williams, Missouri; Ryan Budde, Oklahoma State
First baseman: Baylor's Matt Williams was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection last season. He hit .318 with 19 home runs and 67 RBI. Other notables: Richard Park, Oklahoma; Jeff Otiveros, Texas.
Second baseman: Texas A&M's Sean Heaney saw all four of his roommates get drafted a year ago, and although he was not, he should have another stellar year. Heaney hit .333 had 11 round-trippers and 48 RBI. His 27 doubles were second in the league.
Other notables: Zach Lekse, Oklahoma; Chad Tabor, Kansas State
Third baseman: The hot corner's most significant impact could come from Iowa State newcomer Rob Conway. He was named the Big 12 player-of-the week in Week No. 1. He debeted by hitting 571 and had a pair of homers and 10 RBI against Air Force in two games.
Brandt Vlieger, Nebraska.
Shortstop: Kansas' John Nelson was the biggest contributor to the Jayhawks last season. He is expected to improve on his .311 (359 in conference) batting average, four home runs and 39 RBL Nelson led the Jayhawks in seven offensive categories.
Other notables: John Cole, Nebraska; Lance Woodcock, Texas Tech
Outfielder: Texas A&M's Daylan Holt led the nation in home runs last season and earned firstteam All-American honors. He begins the 2000 campaign with the difficult task of trying to better last season's performance when he hit .341 with 34 round-trippers and 105 RBI.
Iowa State's Aaron Runk is a third team All-American and a second team All-Big 12 selection last year when he hit .415, six home runs, 15 doubles and 28 RBI.
Kansas State's Kasey Weishar earned firstteam All-Big 12 honors last year. He was second in the league in batting at .429, had seven homers and 31 RBI.
Other notables: Marco Cunningham, Texas Tech; Adam Shabala, Nebraska; Jamal Strong, Nebraska.

Thomas fulfilled his promises
Other NFL greats will never forget Thomas' promises
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Joe Phillips will never forget the day Derrick Thomas promised a big hit on John
hit on John Elway
"We were playing the Broncos on the last day of the 1992 season, and we needed to win to get in the playoffs," said Phillips, who played with the nine-time Pro Bowl linebacker.
PENGUIN
Thomas: Participated in many civic projects
"Derrick had what he called the big triple when he would sack the quarterback, knock the ball loose and recover it for a touchdown. That morning, he told me he was going to get a big triple on Elway. Then late in the game, we punted them deep and as we
Springing past the blocker with his lightning-quick first step, Thomas tackled Elway, chopped the ball from his hand and fell on it in the end zone to seal a 42-20 victory.
ran onto the field he said, "I'm going to get it now."
"He virtually called his own shot," Phillips said. "It was an amazing thing."
And he did.
Thomas was paralyzed from the chest down in a car accident Jan. 23. He died yesterday in a Miami hospital at 33.
Thomas personified the revival of the Chiefs during his 11-year career. He led the NFL in sacks during the '90s while the Chiefs became just one of three teams to win 100 games in the decade.
But Thomas had interests broader than football
He was fascinated by the killing of President Kennedy and certain there was more than one assassin. He made several visits to the assassination scene in Dallas and once became so engrossed while discussing the subject he forgot a team meeting and was fined $500.
"I would pay 100 times that much if somebody could tell me
"If nobody had ever invented football, I would probably be in prison right now. Football saved my life."
Derrick Thomas
what really happened down there that day," he said.
Former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker
Although he had matured the last couple of years, the former Alabama All-American with the dazzling smile was a tireless party animal in his early days. His late-model sports car with the license plate, "Isakqbs," became a familiar sight at Kansas City night spots.
He enjoyed other celebrities. He would show up at concerts and hang out with the performers. He would go to a Chicago Bulls game and leave with Michael Jordan. He went to the NCAA Final Four and baseball's All-Star game.
"I'm having a ball," he said. "I can hardly believe how lucky I am."
His whirlwind, round-the-clock schedule prompted friends to dub him the "social director of the NFL."
He was the personal favorite of Chiefs president Carl Peterson, who called him "son." He also was resented at times for appearing to occasionally loaf during training camp.
"Derrick walks around here like he was the host at a party," one former assistant coach grumbled.
But he also invested plenty of time and money in civic projects, almost all aimed at helping disadvantaged youngsters. He founded "Third and Long" to encourage kids to read. He appeared at libraries every week reading to young people.
Thomas grew up fatherless in a tough part of Miami and realized he could easily have gone down another road.
"If nobody had ever invented football, I would probably be in prison right now," he once said. "Football saved my life."
His greatest game was probably on Veterans Day in 1990 when he set the single-game sack record by downing Seattle's Dave Krieg seven times.

This junior college transfer led his high school team to the state title in 1997.
This criminal justice major from Omaha, Neb., will be hunting down files in center.
2B—Doug Dreher
The junior from Hays will play second until Ryan Baty recuperates from a shoulder injury. Dreher laced 11 doubles last year and hit .307.
This junior college transfer was named All-Conference in California last season and was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers and then the Cleveland Indians out of high school.
C—Brenton Del Chiaro
This junior college transfer has baseball in his blood — his uncles played major league ball for the St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Indians.
Splitting time at first base, this Lawrence native will be the Jayhawk's designated hitter. Last year, he started 41 games at catcher.

Pitcher passed on pros for Jayhawks
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Jim Caine had the opportunity to live his childhood dream, but he turned it down — for the time being.
Caine, a freshman pitcher for the Kansas baseball team, was drafted in the 10th round by the Minnesota Twins, but he sacrificed the opportunity to play major league baseball to come play for Kansas. While the Twins drafted him, nearly every major league team contacted him throughout the draft process.
Caine, St. Charles, Ill. native, said the big leagues were something that he didn't think he was quite ready for vet.
"It was a real tough decision to make, but it would've been a big step."
Caine said. "I'm happy with the decision I made, and I have no regrets at all."
Caine's decision to attend college meant turning down a major league contract and salary. Unlike most high school athletes who are offered contracts and jump at the chance for a pay check, Caine choose to turn down the money, because it wasn't enough.
KJ
"If I was going to sign, I wanted it to be as easy as possible," Caine said. "I was either going to be drafted high
Caine: Money wasn'tenough
enough or get a real good offer, and it would just be obvious I should sign. If not, then I had a great opportunity coming here."
The money wasn't right for Caine, though, so he decided the it could wait altogether while he honed his skills at Kansas. Pitching coach Wilson Kilmer was happy to welcome him to the pitching staff.
"We're glad he decided to go ahead and come to school instead of signing a pro contract," Kilmer said. "He brings a level of talent that's outstanding. Above and beyond that, we feel he's a guy who has the attitude that wants to improve his skills."
Some skills Caine will try to improve while at Kansas are his arm strength, consistency and his breaking ball. Kilmer said Caine's velocity and fastball movement were exceptional.
In addition, Kilmer expects Caine to make an immediate impact on the mound for the Jayhawks.
"We're going to pitch the guys that pitch the best and give us the best chance to win, and we feel Jim's one of those guys that can do that." Kilmer said.
Caine will have at least three years to hone his skills at Kansas until the big leagues can come calling again.
Regulations prohibit college baseball players from turning professional until after their junior seasons. Caine is confident that he hasn't seen his last opportunity for the big leagues.
"It's my dream to play major league baseball, and I know it is the same for every guy here," Caine said. "I have to wait until after my junior year to be drafted again though, and, hopefully I will be."
Sports Columnist Derek Prater sports@kansan.com
...others just get bored
Ask your average American about soccer, and the response you're likely to receive may be punctured with a vawn.
It's boring — all they do is stand around and there's not enough action.
PETER ROBINS
But you ask those same Americans about baseball, and they go on and on about Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and the great national pastime.
But both sports inspire undying loyalty from fans.
So what if the St. Louis Cardinals lose in a slow, three-plus hour game? As long as McGwire hits one home run and inches closer to a Babe Ruth record, St. Louis fans are happy.
The same is true for Brazilian soccer fans if Rinaldo saves a 1-1 tie with a courageous run past three defenders for a goal during injury time.
The history, nostalgia and personalities surrounding the games are what fill seats.
But without those aspects, baseball and soccer games are just plain boring.
Which is why college baseball, especially at the University of Kansas, is just plain boring.
Some schools, such as Wichita State, Miami and Louisiana State, have strong baseball traditions, but those traditions just don't translate to the type of nationally embraced legacies that exist in football programs like Nebraska or basketball programs like North Carolina
Pundits complain about basketball and football stars leaving college early for the pros, but in baseball star prospects are drafted out of high school.
These days does a college baseball star graduate to immediate stardom at the next level. The real prospects either eschew college for the true pro training grounds, the minor leagues, or are from Spanish-speaking islands south of Florida.
It is a challenge to name just one college baseball player with the type of name recognition that, for example, North Carolina point guard Ed Cota has throughout the nation.
At Kansas, that's some tough mustering.
With no stars to care about, college baseball has to rely on whatever tradition it can muster.
The baseball team has made it to the NCAA College World Series only once, in 1993. In fact, it's made it to NCAA regional play only twice.
Kansas has had just four first team All-Americans whose names are more memorable for the way they roll off the tongue than for their place in Kansas sports history — John Trombold, Matt Gundelfinger, Josh Kliner and Jeff Berblerking.
The most famous Kansas baseball player made his mark in a sport that the campus is actually excited about. That former player is Dean Smith.
No action + no stars + no tradition = no fun. There's no denying that it's admirable to get out and support all Kansas sports, no matter how good.
But if you're looking for excitement, you might as well check out a soccer match on ESPN.

The fate of the game often rests on the shoulders of these new pitchers. Last year, the Jayhawk pitching stuff cracked under pressure — the coaches are hoping the same won't happen this year.

Hurlers have huge hurdles ahead
By Amanda Kashube sports@kansan.com
Kansas scrippswriter
Baseball teams live and die on the mound — and last year, Kansas died.
But after three years of recruiting and working toward a solid pitching foundation, Jayhawk coaches and players think they may be closer to the change-up they need.
"It's the hardest thing in baseball"
"we are the hardest thing in baseball
— you need pitching," said coach
Bobby Randall. "We're still a little
rusty, but we're not done yet."
He is returning two seniors, two juniors, two sophomores and has gained a fresh crop of freshmen pitchers, all eager for their chances.
He also reviewed the fundamentals with his pitchers last fall to produce a better outcome than last
season, when the pitchers gave up 652 hits, 480 runs and 210 walks in 54 games. Jayhawk pitchers had an average ERA of 8.25 in the Big 12 Conference, five points higher than their opponents' average.
"Last year, we pitched well for four or five innings, but then we stopped," junior Pete Smart said.
All of this so Kansas can have a shot at winning more games.
"You need to pitch well so you can get a good start," Randall said. "We know we have to pitch well. We have more confidence in our ability, depth and experience. It's
taken us three years to get here. We've been working toward a strong foundation."
Philbrick said the pitchers were focusing on correcting personal flaws.
"We can't get down early in our offense, defense or our pitching," he said. "We're capable of playing better."
Last year, only three pitchers earned saves and only one pitcher threw a complete game.
"There is always pressure when you pitch," Nelson said. "You need consistency — we had good players last year, but they didn't play well. We want everyone to pitch well."
Along with returners senior Ryan Schmidt, junior Brandon O'Neal, sophomore Jeff Davis, Philbrick, Smart and Olson, Randall recruite nine new pitchers to add
depth to his team.
"We want this to be a year when everything comes together and establishes a brand of pitching that will be around for years," Randall said. "You can't rebuild in a year, but we're getting our program in shape. We want to develop the skills to be successful."
Included in the new mix are freshmen right handers Jim Caine and Nick Seibert, both from Illinois, and Clav Wheeler, from Missouri.
Caine was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 10th round out of high school, and Seibert led his high school team to the 2A state championship.
"The freshmen are by far the most competitive freshmen we've had in a long time," Randall said. "All are pushing to be starters or at least have a lot of playing time. It's
Although the newcomers will add talent to the roster, Randall said he still would look to his starters for key performances and strong work ethics.
"I think it's a good measure of a team — how many people come early and how many stay late — and this has probably been the most productive year for us with that so far," he said. "That's what our veterans have done to provide leadership — they come early and they stay late."
"We'll bounce back — we'll do better this year," Philbrick said. "We'll play hard and compete, then leave it on the field."
With a mix of veterans and newcomers, the Jayhawks plan to stay in the game longer.
Captains face difficult task
Continued from page 1B
All juniors and seniors are eligible for captain status, but team members only give three the honor.
The following team members will serve as captains:
Pete Smart
Smart will be one of Kansas' starters on the mound. He started last year in the bullpen, but came out as a starter toward the end, compiling a 3-3 record and a 7.19 ERA.
The 6-foot-7-inch, 195-pound lefty from Omaha, Neb., is the second tallest player to wear a Kansas uniform.
"It's hard to be a captain and not perform close to the best of your ability." he said. "Pitchers control the game. We're the center of attention. As long as the hitters give us one run, it gives the pitchers a chance to win. We want that chance."
Smart, who was named outstanding pitcher last season, threw 51.1 innings and recorded 36 strikeouts last season.
"I want to be a great player on a great team," he said. "I want the next inning I throw to be scoreless." Shane Wedd
After being Kansas' No. 1 catcher for 50 games last season, Wedd, a 6-foot-10inch, 210-pound Lawrence native, will be moved up the baseline to first base and also will be used as a designated hitter.
"It's not that different from catching — I want to be on the team, and I'll do whatever that means," he said.
His weakness is his defensive ability at first base. Wedd said he had been going back to fundamentals by working on ground balls.
"If it's the same game I played as a little kid, but I'm relearning the little things," he said.
Bryan Schmidt
A junior college transfer from Barton County, Schmidt earned a starting spot on the mound. He made 19 appearances, going 24 with a 6.44 ERA in 64.1 innings of work. He tied for third in the team for wins, ranked second in innings pitched and third in strikeouts (46).
"We've got a good bunch of kids on this team," Randall said. "Ryan has improved a lot over the summer. He'll be a strong returner."
Schimdt pitched a career-high 7.1 innings against Kansas State last season when he allowed only two earned runs and struck out five. He will compete for a starting spot on the pitching rotation.

Lobby for more state aid begins
Many express concern with Maxwell's proposal
By Katrina Hull writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer
Korb Maxwell, student body president, started the fight for more student financial aid dollars yesterday in the House Education and Legislative Budget Committee.
He proposed that legislators use $3.6 million from the December tuition increase for state financial aid, because financial aid has not increased with tuition. Maxwell said that figure represented student need that will go unmet in the 2000-01 school year.
the 2000s and year.
"The need is real, the need is serious," Maxwell said. "It's not going to go away if we don't do anything about it."
Maxwell may have to fight more than legislators in a tight budget year to gain support for his idea.
Ed Hammond, president of Fort Hays State University, said Maxwell's plan would take money away from the universities' base funding.
"I knew from the onset that I was going to be in a fight with the administration at Regents schools," Maxwell said.
He also said he spoke on behalf of all college students when he requested that tuition dollars go toward state financial aid.
go toward state financial education. But Molly Bircher, Fort Hays State University student director of legislative affairs, said she wasn't even aware of the proposal until yesterday and didn't support Maxwell's plan in its entirety.
"These kinds of changes are risky," she said. "There's an important balance to maintain between financial aid and university funding."
Maxwell's plan uses tuition money from the Regents universities for Kansas Comprehensive Grants. Kim Wilcox, Board of Regents executive director, said 65 percent of state grant money goes to independent colleges such as Baker University.
.
Bircher said this meant tuition from the Regents universities, would support
financial aid for students who chose to go to a more expensive private university.
Maxwell said he was an advocate for all students and because students would generate $5.5 million with December's $3.20 per hour tuition increase, that money should go back to the students — no matter where they choose to go to

school.
"It's important for the students to get out in front and show how important this is," Maxwell said. "Financial aid is about access and students having a choice."
State Rep. Richard Reinhardt, D-Erie, and member of the budget committee, said he understood Maxwell's concern, but the tuition increases offset budget cuts and using the money for financial aid could cause problems.
"If you take that money out of the base general budget, we run the risk of cutting classes or classes won't be offered at the appropriate times and so forth." Reinhardt said. "It's a double-edged sword."
However, legislators said they were aware that the state is slacking in providing financial aid.
"We need to focus some additional resources on financial aid," said State Rep. David Adkins, R-Leawood and member of the budget committee. "I believe it's appropriate to have equivalent increases in tuition and financial aid."

Sweetheart Week promotes safer sex, quitting smoking
By Warisa Chulindra writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students have the opportunity to give their sweethearts gifts that could help them live healthier and safer on Valentine's Day — smoking cessation kits and condom-grams.
The smoking cessation kits and condom-grams are a part of Save a Sweatheart and Protect a Sweetheart Week. They will be available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and tomorrow at information tables at the Kansas Union and the Strong Hall rotunda. Between classes, the smoking cessation kits and condom-grams will be available at Wesco Beach.
Save a Sweetheart week encourages students or someone they love to quit smoking or using tobacco products. Protect a Sweetheart week aims to educate students about sexual issues such as date rape, the role of drugs and alcohol, the importance of communication in relationships, HIV and sexually-transmitted diseases.
"A lot of the students think that STDs and HIV are not an issue on campus. It does happen here. Just because they look clean doesn't mean they're clean. It's out there," said Hope Bruce, coordinator for the Center for Peer Health Promotion and Shawnee sophomore.
This is the first year Save a Sweetheart week and Protect a Sweetheart week have been combined. The health promotions and education department at Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Center for Peer Health Promotion organized the program.
Janis Ellis-Claypool, health educator at Watkins, said that by combining Save a
"We want to encourage healthier lifestyles for college students, We're zoning in on two important issues." Janice Ellis-Claypool

Sweetheart week and Protect a Sweetheart week, two relevant issues concerning college students could be discussed.
"We want to encourage healthier lifestyles for college students," she said. "We're zoning in on two important issues. If we make someone think about changing their lifestyles, we have reached our goal."
Kyle Waugh, Kansas City, Mo. junior, agreed.
"If it helps just a few people, it's a good thing," he said. "Promoting good health is always a good thing."
The smoking cessation kit has a toothbrush, a mint, an "I'm kissable, I don't smoke button," a sticker that says "I'm quitting today," a coupon for a free smoking-cessation appointment and a pledge not to use tobacco products on Valentine's Day for students to sign.
In addition to the condom, the condom-gram includes a coupon for $10 off an HIV test at Watkins and a risk factors scale with places that offer HIV testing.
Students at the Center for Peer Education offered to speak to groups about sex education, but no dates were set. Also, a display board competition is going on between students in the residence halls. Judging will be Monday, and the winners will receive movie passes and a pizza party.
Gray areas in city's zoning proposal may raise legal questions for sex stores
By John Audlehelm
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Lawrence's aggressive proposal to impose zoning ordinances on sex stores might stir up legal trouble — probably not on grounds of the First Amendment, but on the rights of property owners to profit from their businesses.
The city commission voted unanimously Tuesday to submit the proposal to the planning commission, the first step toward becoming law.
The proposal would limit sex stores to some heavily traveled commercial areas of the city and require that they be certain distances from churches, schools, homes and each other.
homes and each And in keeping with it's aggressive nature, it includes an amortization period, a period of time for the business to abide by the zoning requirements. The time period has not been determined yet.
That means Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., and Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., would eventually have to comply — and move. At the commission meeting, David Corliss, director of legal services for the city, said Priscilla's was too close to residential property. Naughty But Nice is near Cordley Elementary School, 1837 Vermont, and is not on one of the streets that the proposal

Supreme Court had upheld the ordinances.
"The court has been fairly indulgent in giving cities leeeway," he said.
Even so, the city's proposal designates
some stores as protected by the First Amendment. The proposal would not include sole bookstores/video stores that do not have sex-oriented clothes, gadgets, etc.
Richard Levy, professor of law, said even though the Supreme Court had allowed restrictions on adult bookstores, the city might be trying to maximize First Amendment protection or minimize the possibility of a constitutional challenge by allowing such stores to be exempt.
"Nobody likes to defend against litigation." Levy said.
However, he said the proposal's classification of stores by their percentage of floor space or inventory devoted to sex material might raise legal questions.
"This particular proposal has some interesting wrinkles that I don't think have been litigated before," he said.
That leaves the proposed amortization period, which Levy said might be constitutional.

"You've got clear statutory authority to do that." Corliss said. "We're usually talking in terms of years, not months."
He said the usual practice in such a situation — when a governing body passes a law that affects an already existing business — is to grandfather in the business. But grandfathering is not required by the Constitution, Levy said.
Corliss said a 1997 Kansas law provided explicit authority to phase out sex stores, but the city would not abuse that power by forcing the stores to move too soon.

Corliss said the statute had not been litigated in any Kansas courts but similar statutes had been upheld in other states.
However, Levy said this was where property rights entered the equation.
Property owners have the right to use their property in profitable ways, he said, and zoning ordinances could be too onerous.
Also, Levy said, stopping an existing store is more burdensome to the owner than preventing a store from opening.

The University of Kansas Vietnamese Student Association will celebrate the Vietnamese New Year this Saturday at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
A cultural show will begin at 7:30 p.m. It is free to the public and will feature performances by VSA members. Performances will include a dragon dance, skits, commercials, a fashion show and a cultural dance. There will be a dance from 9 p.m. to midnight.
"People should come to broaden their horizons about different cultures," said Dianne Le, Lenexa sophomore, who is in charge of the fashion show and cultural dance. "It's important to remember that not everyone is Chinese," he said. A lot of times the Asian new year celebrations all get grouped together into a 'Chinese' new year, but we're a completely different culture that just happens to celebrate on the same day."
The Vietnamese New Year began Feb. 5, the same day as the Chinese and Korean new years. Each culture has its own unique way of celebrating.

Naked man sent to jail after trip to hospital
A 19-year-old Lawrence resident whose naked criminal exploits originally landed him in the hospital ended up in Douglas County jail yesterday.
Lawrence police booked Victor W. Brown into jail at 1:57 p.m.yesterday for criminal damage to property and lewd and lascivious behavior, Sgt. George Wheeler said. District attorney Christine Tonkavich said formal charges had been filed on one count of criminal damage, but she could not confirm the lewd and lascivious behavior charge.
Police responded Monday to reports of a naked man shattering three cars' windows near 29th Street Terrace and Missouri Street. Witnesses said he used several large sticks, a broken spade and a track-and-field hammer with a wire attached to its handle to break the windows. Police said the damage was about $5,000.
Brown's arm was stuck in one car's windshield when police arrived. When he struck the windshield, the hammer broke through the glass with his hand still attached to it. Police said the wire entered Brown's palm and came out between two of his fingers.
Officers used bolt cutters to cut the wire and free his hand.
Police detained Brown and took him to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he received treatment for his hand and underwent a mental evaluation.
Earlier in the day, Wheeler said, witnesses had seen Brown clothed on the campus of Haskell Indian Nations University. Employees at Haskell Indian Health Center took him to LMH because he was acting strangely, Wheeler said.
Brown apparently walked away from the hospital.
His bond was set at $4,750. Depending on his criminal history, Brown could face up to seven months in jail and a fine.

Alaska Airlines focuses investigation on screw
LOS ANGELES — Alaska Airlines said yesterday that it was inspecting its fleet of MD-80 jetliners for damage to a key part in the tail system that may have played a crucial role in the crash of Flight 261.
The component, called a jackscrew,
drives the horizontal stabilizer, which
has become the focus of the investigation
into the Jan. 31 crash that killed 88 people off the coast of Southern California.
A two-foot section of the screw was found with the main wreckage of the jet about 10 miles off the coast, and the airline said the screw was found to be stripped.
"It appeared to investigators who looked at the mechanism that there was some damage to it," National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Jim Hall said in Chicago. "It was unclear whether the damage was
pre-impact or from hitting the water." Alaska Airlines said it would inspect all 34 of its MD80 series planes as a precaution. The inspection was not expected to cause significant service delays.
The jackscrew is powered by two motors and resembles the corkscrew-like device that opens many automatic garage doors.
Investigators are focusing on the stabilizer, a wing-like device on the jet's tail, because pilots reported problems with it after taking off from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, for San Francisco.
If the jackscrew was damaged during flight, the horizontal stabilizer could move beyond its normal range, causing the tail wing to stall or lose its lift, said William Waldock, associate director for the Center for Aerospace Safety Education at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott. Ariz.
it would be nearly impossible to recover from such a stall, Waldock said.
Oil smuggling continues violates U.N. sanctions
WORLD
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Smugglers evading U.S. destroyers in the Persian Gulf are shipping more and more Iraqi cell in violation of U.N. sanctions, reaping handsome profits and lining the pockets of Iraq President, Saddam Hussein, according to the U.S. Navy.
Last week's seizure of a Russian tanker carrying illicit Iraqi fuel highlighted the issue of Iraqi oil smuggling, which the U.S. Navy estimates has nearly doubled in six months.
The 4,000 tons of oil — equivalent to 29,320 barrels — seized from the Volga-Neft.147 is only a fraction of what is getting through, said Cmdr. Jeff Gradeck, representative for the Bahrain-based U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet.
In January, when oil prices hit nineyear highs of about $28 a barrel, 2.7 million barrels of Iraqi oil were smuggled out, according to Navy estimates. Last September, when prices were about $19 a barrel, 1.4 million barrels were smuggled out, Gradeck said.
"The amount of oil smuggled out of Iraq has doubled since August last year, when oil prices began to increase," Gradeck said in a telephone interview yesterday from Bahrain.
Iraq is banned from most international commerce because of its 1990 invasion of Kuwait, which led to the Persian Gulf War. Although a December U.N. resolution includes lifting a cap of $5.2 billion on Iraqi oil sales every six months, Iraq has not accepted the resolution and pumps within the old ceiling.
"That means increased profits for the smugglers and increased profits for the Iraqi regime."

Conservative senators attack social problems with new initiative
WASHINGTON — Conservative activists on Wednesday launched a new salvo in the culture war in America, announcing the creation of a charitable group that will hold "healthy culture summits" in cities nationwide.
The Associated Press
Led by two senators involved in high-profile battles against violence in the entertainment industry, the Healthy Culture Initiative will work to give community leaders ideas on how to save marriages, stop drug use and teen-age pregnancy and battle other social ills.
The Gallup Organization will conduct research and track success rates in various communities for the group, which counts Sens. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., and Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., among its chairmen.
For every problem in America, there are already dedicated, talented people who are living
and working the solution," Brownback said during a Capitol Hill news conference.
"Americans are engaged in making their communities better places to live, work and raise families," he said. "But until now, there has not been an effective clearinghouse of ideas and successes for us to draw upon as a nation."
The Annandale, Va., based group hopes to plan at least 10 summits around the country and is in talks with Salt Lake City, Indianapolis, Wichita, Topeka, and Omaha, Neb.
Topper, and Omanah
The initiative has raised $150,000 toward a goal of $500,000 in the first year, said Cindy Cobb, its executive director.
Its corporate partners include the Motion Picture Association of America, with which the two senators have tangled in recent months, as well as Coors Brewing Co. "If they are willing to help support and fund this effort, good," Brownback said.

Senators nix blood drive ads
Finance chair alleges sexual discrimination
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A bill that would have paid for advertising for the Spring 2000 American Red Cross Blood Drive was declared out of order by Aravind Muthukrishnan, Senate Finance Committee chairman, on the basis that it violated a Student Senate law prohibiting the use of Senate funds to facilitate discrimination.
At last night's meeting, some committee members said they thought the blood drive discriminated against homosexuals because donors are asked questions that single out men who have had sex with other men.
Bob Arpke, All Scholarship Hall Council
blood drive chair, said KU students were forced to adhere to the Red Cross's questions, as mandated by the Food and Drug Administration.
Moreover, Arpke said the other group which sponsors blood drives, Kansas Blood Services, already does a drive with KUAC.
Supporters of financing advertising in the University Daily Kansan argued that a blood shortage in Lawrence made the drive's success especially important.
k. J. Woodring, Nunemaker senator, sponsored the bill. He said the issue was with the quality of the blood, not the quality of the person.
"We're going to punish students who want to have a blood drive and help out locally," he said.
Some committee members, such as Erin Simpson, liberal arts and sciences senator, argued that supporting the Red Cross perpetuated the discrimination of homosexuals and reinforced negative stereotypes.
Lisa Braun, holder senator against the bill, said Student Senate needed to send a message.
"You start at the little things to stop discrimination," she said.
Muthukrishnan defended his decision, saying that while the blood drive was a good thing, it did facilitate discrimination.
"The University of Kansas has had a long history and tradition to make sure there isn't discrimination based on sexual orientation," he said. "A stand needs to be taken somewhere."
Muthukrishnan's decision was upheld 10-8.
Arpke said he was not surprised by the response, because of a similar instance last semester when a bill passed as long as a subcommittee was formed to examine the discrimination issue further.
Jason Thompson, Student Rights chairman, said that after the subcommittee spoke with the regional Red Cross and FDA, members
saw no reason to change the questions asked.
"They don't want people with mad cow disease giving blood," Thompson said. "As far as any sexual practices, they are uneasy about changing anything with sexual orientation."
Arpke said he would work with Senate to try again to get advertising financed before the March blood drive. If not in the Kansan, they would advertise through living groups, making it harder to reach students living off campus.
In other Senate news:
A bill that would have financed a speaker on science and religion on behalf of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship failed in University Affairs.
A bill to finance a comprehensive survey of student opinion for use by Student Senate passed in Finance.
A resolution to condemn the Board of Regents tuition hike passed in University Affairs.
KU celebrates school exchange
By Doug Pacey

Kansan staff writer
The celebration of the oldest-surviving university exchange in the Western Hemisphere ended yesterday.
The University of Kansas and the University of Costa Rica have had an official exchange policy for more than 40 years.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway and other Kansas faculty members have been in San Jose to take part in the three-day celebration.
"We've had an official exchange of faculty, research and students with the University of Costa Rica for more than 40 years," said Mary Jane Dunlap, public information writer for University Relations.
reasons.
Though the official exchange has taken place for more than 40 years, unofficial exchanges have been taking place for at least 50 years, said Charles Stansifer, professor of history.
Documented records report that exchanges began as early as 1946 when E. Raymond Hall, a scientist at KU's
Natural History Museum, and Ruben Torres Rojas, a scientist at Costa Rica's Natural History Museum, made an agreement to share faculty expertise.
The formal exchange began in December 1958 when then-Chancellor Frank Murphy and then-University of
Costa Rica Rector Rodrigo Facio signed the agreement.
The exchange allows students from both countries to attend college at a special rate, Dunlap said. There are no in-state or out-of-state tuition costs.
There are eight KU students studying at the University of Costa Rica through the KU program, but

40 students from schools nationwide participate in the program, too.

Timkar, coordinator for the Study Abroad program. "But since ours is so well-established, students from all over are interested in it."
Many schools began exchanges with Latin-American universities during the 1960s, but KU's program is the only one to have survived.
There are 18 Costa Rican students studying at KU during the 1999-2000 school year.
A similar celebration took place at KU last April, and one will occur at Kansas State University next spring.
K-State began taking part in the exchange in 1984.

Department moves on the way
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
With the School of Education scheduled to move to Joseph R. Pearson Hall for Fall 2000, the debate of which schools and departments will move into Bailey Hall has just begun.
Construction on the $14 million renovation of JRP is moving along according to schedule, said Warren Corman, the University of Kansas architect.
When renovations are completed, the school will move into JRP, and other departments will transfer to the 100-year-old Bailey Hall. Tentative movers include the humanities, African studies and communication studies departments.
Robert Rowland, professor and chairman of the communications studies department, said he was optimistic that his department would be granted a spot.
we have been given an estimate as to what we will receive." Rowland said. "But until the Chancellor approves things, we won't know what we're getting for sure."
Meeting the needs of the different departments in terms of space was a
complicated process, said Diana Carlin,
interim assistant provost.
"What people say their needs are and what guidelines are are often two different things," she said.
Carlin said the decision-making process was still in the early stages and expressed her optimism that everyone would be satisfied in the end.
The departments will move into Bailey Hall as it stands now — Corman said no money had been allocated for any renovations or changes.
Bailey Hall was constructed in 1900 and originally housed the department of chemistry.
The building was named after Professor E. H. S. Bailey, who headed the department for 50 years. In 1956, the department moved out and the school has been there since.
Bailey Hall was placed in the Kansas Register of Historic Places in 1995.
JPR, originally used as a residence hall until 1992. had been used by the University as office space and for storing library overstock until 1997, when renovations began.
Once the school moves into JRP, the 10-year process of design and development will end, Corman said.

New college admissions exam is smart alternative to standard tests
The announcement by Colorado College that it will allow prospective students to take an alternative to the traditional ACT is a welcome innovation. Eight other schools have followed its lead and it is honed that more will do so.
The new test, which will include tasks such as building Lego structures and other hands-on projects, will focus on skills and intelligences previously untapped by regular college entrance exams. The attributes measured by these tests leadership, creativity and cooperation — arguably are far more important to the average college student than the ability to solve trigonometric equations. And now admissions personnel will have a measurable
Different testing methods could eliminate cultural bias of traditional examinations
indicator of students' capabilities in these areas.
Testing of this nature also eliminates any ethnocentric or cultural blases that critics of standardized testing have pointed to for years. It is hoped that this new test will allow all students to demonstrate their readiness for college regardless of their racial or ethnic backgrounds.
This test may not be a panacea for all the inequalities in American education, but it definitely is a step in the right direction. Even if the
test turns out to have only a negligible impact on who gets in to our American universities, we should applaud the willingness of these nine schools to experiment with new ideas.
Instead of relying on "the way it's always been done," these schools are blazing their own trails toward academic excellence. Our nation, if it is to continue to be successful, must tap into the resources and abilities of all its citizens, not just those who were privileged enough to read Geoffrey Chaucer in high school.
The University of Kansas should pay close attention to how this experiment proceeds. If it turns out to be successful, the University should adopt a similar model.

Peltier deserves a pardon; we can help
For 24 years, Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned for a crime that the U.S. government admits it cannot prove he committed.
Last year, President Bill Clinton denied him pardon. Peltier's last appeal was in 1987. Last Sunday was the anniversary of Peltier's arrest, and this is an opportunity for all of us to take a step toward helping Peltier get the pardon he deserves.
In 1975, two FBI agents and a Native American man were killed in a gunfight on a South Dakota reservation. Despite the lack of evidence, Peltier, a Native-American activist on the reservation, was convicted and sentenced to two life terms in the Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary for the murder of the agents.
The wrongful detention of the Native-American activist is an important international issue
More than two decades later, the government and FBI have admitted that they have no idea who actually killed the agents, but they continue to deny amnesty to Peltier.
Although the Free Leonard Peltier movement is based in Lawrence, the wrongful imprisonment of Peltier has become a national and, indeed, an international issue. Leaders and civil rights activists around the world and organizations such as Amnesty International continually lobby for his release.
During the last year, Peltier has
become ill, but the prison is unwilling or unable to provide the medical attention he needs. More than possibly gaining freedom for this accused man, lobbying for Peltier's release strikes a blow against wrongful imprisonment of political prisoners everywhere.
During this month and beyond, we can continue to make an effort to achieve Peltier's release by contacting our state representatives and making sure they are informed about his situation and know that their constituents want him released. We also can tell others about Peltier so that they too can contact their representatives.
Peltier should be allowed to live the rest of his life outside the confines of a prison cell, and our awareness and activism can give him that opportunity.

For GOP's 'Dubya, there are no sure things
Things had been looking pretty good for George "Dubya" Bush in New Hampshire. For his main political statement, he went to a pancake-flipping contest that's about the speed of My Man George when it comes to issues and legislation
I've gotta admit, he did pretty well. Wielding his spatula like a pro, he made a beautiful toss that earned him a 9.7 from the judges.
Gary Bauer, token Christian/ultra-Right former candidate, had a harder time of it. After doing unspeakable things to his pancake, he slipped, stumbled and did a back flip off the stage, landing in a heap on the ground. It was a pretty good visual
Loader columnist
opining@kansan.com
metaphor for his campaign, really.
"Dubya" collected the vaunted Golden Spatula of victory, shot the crowd his trademark smirk and waited for the presidency to be handed to him on a silver platter.
Then John McCain stepped on him. Hard — 19 percent lead hard. You could hear the squashing sound of Bush's smirk being ground underfoot five states away. I can just see Shrub turning to his handlers, hurt, bewildered and confused, saying, "But I won the pancake contest! I don't get it!"
This is, to great extent, the trouble with George W. Bush. He just doesn't get it. Throughout his entire campaign, he's acted as though the presidency was some sort of birthright — just give it to him, no questions, no need to actually lay out concrete issues or positions. And, unfortunately, much of the political establishment has bought it.
After eight years of Bill Clinton, the congressional Republicans are desperate to wrestle back control of the Oval Office. They're backing the horse they think has the best chance of beating Gore. They're horribly wrong.
Bush is a nothing. He's a mediocre, dim, arrogant scion of money and privilege. The more exposure he gets, the more it shows, and the less appealing he becomes.
If he wins the Republican nomination, I'm
predicting that Gore has a good chance of winning the presidency — because by the time the actual election comes around, the only people willing to back Bush will be the Republican party faithful. And that's not enough to get the presidency.
The media love McCain like other no candidate since Reagan. I've even heard a lot of liberals and independents, people who normally would sever a few fingers before voting Republican, seriously consider casting their ballots for McCain. He's a perfect example of a mainstream candidate — and he's not breaking his principles to be that way.
McCain is a conservative candidate; look at his record if you have any doubts. He has pushed a conservative agenda throughout his years in Congress, and there's every reason to suppose that he would do so as president. But "conservative" does not necessarily mean "corpure pawn of big money." It certainly doesn't to McCain. It doesn't to most Kansas conservatives. It does to Bush, however. And it does to a lot of legislators in Congress. People recognize this.
The Republicans are falling into the same trap that the Democrats were in during the 1980s. They nominate people who overwhelmingly appeal to their own party, then get crushed in the general election by a candidate capable of getting votes from both sides.
Bush? He's been trying to appease the ultra-Right wing of the party — that which many good Republicans want no part of. His first stop in South Carolina, for example, was at Bob Jones University, a place notorious for its ban on interracial dating.
"Although there is no verse in the Bible that dogmatically says that races should not intermarry, the whole plan of God as He has dealt with the races down through the ages indicates that interracial marriage is not best for man. We do believe we see principles, not specific verses, to give us direction for the avoidance of it," reads a letter from the university's community relations coordinator.
Is this the sort of crowd Republicans want to court and be identified with? Republicans made a big noise about character and principles during the Clinton flasco. Time to put our ballots where our mouths are.

Deep within the jungles of Thailand lies a rebel group commanded by a pair of twins that inspires more devotion than a TV evangelist and that smokes more dobage than Cheech, Chong and Willie Nelson combined.
U.S. voters could learn from gun-toting twins
Despite the fact that they appear no more menacing than your average machine gun-toting 12-year-olds, Johnny and Luther Htoo are the leaders of God's Army, a group of about 200 rebels seeking autonomy from the Burmese government. Believed to have mystical powers by the ethnic Karen minority, the twins serve as a sort of militant Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen for the oppressed natives of Southeast Asia.
PABLACK
The group has made the news recently after retreating into Thailand during armed conflict with the

Burmese government and was also blamed for a hostage takeover of a Thai hospital. Why the group would attack innocent hospital patients and not an embassy or government building is anybody's guess. It might all be part of some cryptic plan, but then again, it could just be because of the fact that the ones calling the shots are a couple of drug-using preteens.
Far away from the supernatural forces and echoing gunfire of the situation in Thailand, the U.S. primaries are in full swing. Albert Einstein once said that the most beautiful thing we could experience was the mysterious. Southeast Asian culture relies on mysterious elements, while U.S. presidential elections have virtually none. But who says the two governing methods can't borrow from one another?
I'm not calling for a birth of religious demagoguery in America. The last thing this country needs is official recognition of the Interbaternity Council, the Illuminati, the International Bankers or any kind of secret political sect. But after the turbulent rock 'n' roll atmosphere of the Clinton era, candidates in the 2000 election may need to spice things up a bit to keep the public interested.
Sure, Bill Bradley was an NBA star, and John McCain has stories of POW camp. Al Gore was part of the Clinton administration, and George W. Bush can brag that his daddy sat in the Oval Office. Not bad credentials for a crew of middle-aged White guys. But as we learned from Clinton's inability to get perjury allegations off his back, ready smiles, expensive haircuts and savoir-faire will only take you so
You can bet that if this kind of fervor was shown in democratic America, more people would get to the polls. Digging up every detail from the candidates' pasts would be unheard of, as the dirt would be replaced with mythic folklore and political legend. Scandalous media practices would fall under a dark curse, as would dinnertime telephone poll takers. Candidates full of too much hot air would be subject to sacrificial rituals by more established members of their parties.
For all their lack of revolutionary success, the enigmatic philosophies of the Karen people could hold a few benefits for U.S. politics. For example, U.S. presidential candidates spend valuable time on countless photo-ops, TV advertisements and hobnobbing with voters. Luther Htoo, on the other hand, demonstrates his leadership ability by lounging around in rolled-up military pants, smoking cigarettes and shooting papayas out of trees with an M-16 rifle.
In a nation plagued by overexposure of its politicians, it would be interesting to see what U.S. politics would be like stripped down to a more primordial level. Until then, we'll have to take comfort in the fact that although U.S. politics aren't very exciting, scenarios involving Alan Keyes lugging around a semi-automatic rifle or Steve Forbes smoking a joint aren't likely to be found anywhere on the modern political horizon.
A nation led by democracy and a group led by magical twins clearly will have their differences. But the greatest contrast between the two cultures is perhaps the amount of support we put behind our leaders. With such a low voter turnout in the United States and with the same two political parties dominating the scene every year, it's hard not to wonder what U.S. politics be like with the mysticism shown by the Burmese groun.
Imagine the possibilities: Candidates would no longer travel the countryside giving speeches in small towns and spending the night in vans or hotels. Instead, they would issue manifestos to newspapers from large campaign tents hidden in national parks. Physical defects and drug allegations that ordinarily would hurt a candidate's chances would be regarded as signs of spiritual prowess. Debates simply would be televised tribal gatherings from secret locations, free of teleprompters, political analysts and overly rehearsed speeches. Partisan politics as we know it would be reinvented, if not eradicated altogether.

Minority freshman forum attracts only one student
By Ryan Blethen
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Minority Freshman Forum took place yesterday. There was one problem, though. Hardly any freshmen showed up.
Shyra McGee, Wichita senior, helped organize the forum. She said she didn't understand why more freshman did not show. At 1 p.m., just an hour before the forum closed, only one freshman had dropped by since the opening at 10 a.m.
Floyd Cline, St. Charles, Mo., senior, said the idea of the forum was to help minority freshmen who were struggling with school.
"It's an opportunity to arm them with the tools to make it to the next semester." Cline said.
The forum was held in the lobby of the Kansas Union. The Diversity Peer Education Team, Hispanic American Leadership Organization, McNair Scholars Program, National Pan-Hellenic,
"We offer programs and send out flyers and just don't get a good response. I don't know why."
Marshall Jackson
associate director of the student development center
the Office of Multicultural Affairs, Student Senate, the Student Development Center and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center set up two rows of tables covered with pamphlets and flyers containing information on tutors and minority organizations on campus.
"All the organizations that are user-friendly for minority students are here," McGee said.
McGee and the others who put on the forum wondered what
they could do to attract more freshmen. Last year it was held at night, but hardly anyone showed up.
"Everything we think we can do isn't working," she said.
do isn't working, she said.
The low number of freshmen who showed up for the war was not from a lack of trying, said Marshall Jackson, associate director of the Student Development Center. He said flyers were sent out to all minority freshmen promoting the event.
"We offer programs and send out flyers and just don't get a good response. I don't know why," Jackson said.
McGee said that she had only seen one freshman show up, but that a number of upper classmen had stopped by and picked up information.
The fact that hardly any freshmen showed up did not discourage McGee.
"If there was one person here and it helped them, it was worth it," she said.
What tuition money ends up paying for
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Even in the wake of large tuition increases, many students have little or no idea where their tuition money goes once it leaves their pockets.
Beginning in Fall 2000, two separate increases by the Board of Regents will raise tuition by 6.6 percent for students paying instate tuition. Tuition for out-of-state students will rise 3.5 percent.
Luke Kaster, Minneapolis,
Minn., freshman, said although
he had ideas about where his
tuition money went, he was
uncertain how the process worked.
"I have no real idea where the money goes," said Jeff Burtin, Topeka sophomore. "But I think it's an important thing to know."
Still, some students expressed ignorance of where their dollars went.
Kaster was right — for the most part.
"I'm guessing it goes to education, technology, the curriculum, salaries and things like that," Kaster said. "But I'm not exactly sure."
Deb Teeter, director of the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, said tuition money was spent in many different areas, such as instruction, research, academic support, institutional support and scholarships.
Teeter said it also included money for salaries and operating expenses.
According to the Office of
Institutional Research and Planning, tuition, or general fees, accounted for $78,054,238, or about 24 percent, of the University's total budget of $327,675,213 for fiscal year 1999.
However, when entities that fund themselves — such as the department of student housing and the parking department — are taken out of the equation, tuition represents a much larger portion of the core educational budget, about 40 percent.
Before it is spent, tuition money travels several places.
Diane Goddard, University comptroller, said after the registrar's office assessed tuition, the comptroller's office billed, collected and transferred the money to a local account the University holds.
Goddard said the comptroller's office monitored the University's account on a daily basis.
She said most of the money was then transferred from the University's account to a state account but that some of the money remained in the University's account in order to issue refund checks for students.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost,
said the state treasurer's office
managed the state account. The
treasurer's office invests the
money in order to generate revenue
for the state and acts as a
bookkeeper for the University.
Eakin said the University's tuition account, known as the general fees account, was kept separate from the state general fund account, which contains money that the Legislature gives to the University.

Eakin said the state determined how much money it would give the University in part by the amount of tuition raised.

The money in both the general fees and state general fund accounts make up a significant portion of the University's operating budget, known as the educational and general budget, Eakin said.
Dubious e-mail links alcohol, intelligence
Eakin said that overall, about 80 percent of the operating budget went to salaries, while the other 20 percent went to operating expenses, such as utilities.
Burtin said that 80 percent of the budget going to salaries reflected positively on the University.
"I think it brings up the level of the faculty," Burtin said. "You can't get quality for nothing."

An e-mail that has circulated the University of Kansas campus last week may offer new insights on alcohol, but medical experts argue differently.
The message claims that a new study has found that alcohol increases people's intellectual power as it selectively kills brain cells. Even though alcohol depletes the brain of its cells, it may systematically get rid of the weakest and slowest cells in the brain.
but kandall Rock, senior health physician at Watkins Health Center, said people shouldn't believe everything they read in e-mails.
The e-mail compares the process to natural selection — survival of the fittest. When a herd of buffaloes are hunted, the slowest and weakest ones are killed first.
"Part fact, part fiction and part magical thinking can make an interesting story," he said.
According to the e-mail, regular consumption of beer can eliminate the weaker cells, constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
kock said he wouldn't advise students to follow the e-mail's appeal to drink alcohol.
"I couldn't recommend it as a chemical for improving intelligence," he said.
Chris Crandall, associate professor of psychology, said the idea of natural selection in the brain was too simplistic because the brain was not that basic.
"The truth is, more alcohol makes you dumb." Crandall said. "It slows your reaction time. It disinhibits you."
He said that brain cells were interconnected and that if one part was cut off, the remainder of the cells would not function favorably.
Fermin Santos, Shawnee senior,
received the e-mail last week.
Santos said he found the theory a
little hard to believe.
"I just thought it was funny," he said. "I'm a biology major, and I didn't think there was any truth behind it."
Santos said he could not remember if he forwarded it to others.
While Rock argued against the reliability of the process, he said alcohol could have some positive effects on the human body. Liquor may help fight some cholesterol-related diseases and some studies suggested it might play a role in cancer risk management.

Future of Dos Hombres in negotiations, owner says
By John Audlehelm
kansan staff writer
writer@kansan.com
He said he hoped Dos
Troy Kuglin, general manager of the restaurant at 815 New Hampshire St., said Dos' lease would be up at the end of the month.
Dos Hombres might be saying adios.
"It's basically just down to whether our lease will be resigned or not," he said.
Kuglin said Dos Hombres employees and managers knew the rent would be increasing because of nearby development downtown as part of Downtown 2000.
Lastelic said the negotiations were part of normal business, but Dos Hombres might have to close and move.
Downtown 2000 is a city development project on the 900 block of New Hampshire Street that includes public parking and a new arts center building.
Bob Lastelic owner of Dos Hombres
Bob Lastelic, owner of Dos Hombres, said the building's owners were considering other bids.
"We're in negotiations with the landlord and we're waiting for a response from them," he said. "In any case, the rent is going to go up."
"Any increase in rent is going to have to be offset by an increase in business."
Hombres would be picked to occupy the building, even though the rent would increase.
"Any increase in rent is going to have to be offset by an increase in business," he said.
Mike Riling, president of Cinco Hombres, the corporation that owns the building, said another interested party would have to make a strong case to bid against the restaurant.
"Dos Hombres has a proven track record," he said. "They've been a good tenant."
Brooke Hartman, Wichita sophomore and waitress at Dos Hombres, said she thought the restaurant was doing fine.
She said the restaurant had many repeat customers and had been getting the word out on its drink specials.
"We're all just pushing for this place to stay open," Hartman said.

Kickboxing is on target with students

About a year ago, videotapes such as Tae-Bo started to take the exercise world by storm and influenced universities and health clubs across the country.

The University of Kansas soon followed, and last spring, the University started offering an aerobic kickboxing class.
Last semester Courtney Wolk,
Highland Park, Ill., senior,
enrolled in HSES 108 Aerobic
Kickboxing, a class which is
always full and almost impossible
to add.
Diane Oehlschlaeger, graduate teaching assistant in health, sport and exercise science, said kickboxing received so much hype because it was a different twist on aerobics.
"Aerobics has been around long enough," she said. "If something new does not come out, it gets stale."
While the class is popular with women like Wolk, women do not make up the entire class.
Oehlschlaeger agreed.
"Kickboxing is a popular workout that men like to do and men feel masculine doing," she said.
The class works out different body parts in a matter of 50 minutes, using a system of three-minute station rotations. One station works abs, another legs, and the last station works arms with punching bags.
"Because I had to go to class, it helped me get my workout in for the day." Wolk said.
Because of that and the aerobic similarity to Billy Blanks' Tae-Bo tape, the class is popular with its students.
designed for exercise, not self defense.
"The classes are not offered to teach students how to spar with somebody else," she said. "The classes are offered to give students more than a workout. We are giving people an idea of how to workout on their own.
Oehlschlaeger emphasized that kickboxing classes were
Oehlschlaeger said one workout was not necessarily better than another, but kickboxing
was primarily a cardiovascular workout that helped tone the body. Students looking to gain muscle mass would be better served taking a weights and conditioning class, she said.
It is all about what the individual puts into the workout," Oehlschlaeger said.
because it concentrates on cardiovascular workouts as well as stretching and weights.

In return for the license, the University will receive an undisclosed payment from ProFusion LLC.
The University of Kansas signed a contract last month to license technology that runs ProFusion, a popular Internet search engine developed by a KU professor, to a private company.
University officials would not comment on the amount in the agreement or the specific terms of the contract, which was signed Jan. 7.
"We do not disclose the monetary value of agreements in order to protect the competitive interests of the parties we deal with, in this case ProFusion LLC," said James Roberts, associate vice chancellor for research and public service.
Mark Wdowik, director of applied technology at the Information and Telecommunication Technology Center, said it was a matter of confidentiality. However, he said the agreement involving ProFusion LLC and ITTC.
Susan Gauch, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, began the concept of the search engine, www.profusion.com, as a research project. It had supported more than 400,000 monthly users since last April. The company reported that its site traffic had quadrupled last March after a month of more than one million queries.
Although the technology has been licensed to a private firm, she continues to serve as co-owner, co-founder and chief technical officer of ProFusion LLC.
Roberts said the technology transfer was a great example of public service in which KU research can benefit the economy of Kansas.
Wdowik said such achievements created jobs for students and helped increase revenue for the University. ProFusion employs five KU graduates.
Indonesians demand general's resignation
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — An obstetrician who carved his initials into a patient's abdomen when he delivered her baby was arrested yesterday on assault charges.
Allan Zarkin, 61, was accused of carving "AZ" with a scalpel into the lower abdomen of Liana Gedz, 31, after delivering her baby to Caesarean section at Beth Israel Hospital on Sept. 7.
Zarkin pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault at his arraignment. Acting Justice Brenda Soloff released him without bail and scheduled a hearing for March 14.
Barkin, whose license to practice medicine was revoked Feb. 3, faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted. The charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years.
Barry Fallick, Zarkin's lawyer,
admits that his client cut the
letters into Gedz but said his client
isn't responsible because he suffers from a brain disease that impairs his judgment.
"He never meant to hurt her." Fallick said.
Gedz, who is suing Zarkin for $5 million, asked prosecutors to spare the doctor, said her lawyer, Robert Sullivan. He said the prosecution would accomplish nothing.
"He's lost his license, a lifetime consequence," Sullivan said. "It's not like he's a danger to society. He's not going to be in an operating room with a scalpel, so it's a waste of taxpayer's money."
Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, told of the comments, replied, "This is not a private lawsuit. This is a public prosecution. What we're prosecuting here is a crime."
The State Health Department fined Beth Israel $14,000 for seven violations after the incident and ordered the hospital to change its reporting procedures.
Wiranto will not step down until he speaks to president
The Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia — After denying responsibility for the devastation of East Timor, Indonesia's security minister said yesterday that he would not address demands for his resignation until he explained his stance to the president.
Attending a Cabinet session yesterday, Gen. Wiranto made it clear he had no intention of stepping down before President Abdurrahman Wahid returns to Indonesia on Sunday at the end of a 16-day European and Asian tour.
"I am waiting for the president to come back." Wiranto told journalists, saying he would report to Wahid his position in the legal process that he faces in
the case of human rights violations in East Timor.
Earlier, Wiranto — who uses only one name — denied responsibility for any violations in East Timor. An Indonesian government investigation blamed him for a militia rampage that broke out after East Timorese voted for independence from Indonesia in August.
"I have never committed any kind of unlawful activity, and I am proud of my record," Wiranto said in an interview published Tuesday in Singapore's Straits Times newspaper.
Wiranto, quoted by the paper,
challenged the investigating
commission to find any evidence
against him concerning
unlawful activity. He said that
if he resigned, Indonesians
would see it as an admission of
guilt.
On Jan. 31, Wahid called on
Wiranto to quit after the commission revealed its findings. Wiranto, a four-star general, was Indonesia's military commander at that time of the mili-tamen's rampage in September.
Before today's Cabinet meeting at the presidential palace in Jakarta, a relaxed and confident-looking Wiranto chatted, laughed and shook hands with Cabinet colleagues. Afterward, Cabinet Secretary Marsilam Simanjuntak said Wiranto's future was not discussed.
Wahid repeatedly has said he will press for Wiranto's resignation after his return to Jakarta.
Jose Alexandre Gusmao — expected to be East Timor's first president — said today that Wahid should be punished for past abuses.
"We want to stress again that if we ask for justice, we don't ask for revenge." Gusmao said yesterday in Malaysia on the last day of a six-nation Asian tour. "It is not revenge, it is
some kind of action to free human kind of more crimes, of more repression."
Attorney General Marzuki Darusman said yesterday that state prosecutors had begun their own investigation based on the findings of the Indonesian government report.
Apparently wanting to soften the blow for Wiranto, the president has promised to grant a pardon if he is eventually convicted of human rights violations. He has praised his character and even described him as a friend.
The Indonesian investigation and a separate U.N. probe have accused Wiranto's troops of helping anti-independence militias in East Timor loot, burn and kill.
Wahid, who was appointed president last October, has steadily eroded the power of the military in his bid to deliver democratic reforms after decades of authoritarian rule.

Zen art on display at Spencer Art Museum
By Paula Spreitzer Special to the Kansan
An exhibit of more than 70 works by 14 20th century Japanese Zen artists is completing its national tour at the Spencer Museum of Art.
"It's a rare opportunity to see that much 20th century calligraphy in one place," said Sally Hayden, director of public relations for the museum. "It's just not stuff you see every day around here."
It's the first comprehensive exhibit of its kind touring the United States, Hayden said.
the exhibit, which opened at the museum Jan. 30, includes not only painting and calligraphy on paper scrolls but also ceramics and even a pair of folding screens. Some pieces, called haiga, are a combination of a painted image and haiku poetry on hanging paper scrolls.
hard poetry classes through March 11. The exhibit will be the focus of several programs during the next few weeks, ranging from KU Perspectives — which is a series of Wednesday afternoon lectures by faculty from various schools at the University of Kansas — to a calligraphy demonstration Feb. 29.

ing meditative soul-searching to find liberation from past habits and perceptions, an aspect that is reflected in the fluid brushstrokes of the painting and calligraphy, according to information from the exhibit. Zen's influence in mainstream American culture can be seen in the many meditation and study centers it has inspired across the nation, the exhibit says.
Thirteen monks and one nun created the works. They were not only influential artists but also were philosophers who used their art primarily to express their vision to their followers and helped lead the Zen revitalization during the era of Westernization and political and social turmoil in the late 19th and 20th centuries in Japan, according to exhibit information.
Addiss, now a distinguished humanities and art history professor at the University of Richmond, was an art history professor at the University, and Audrey Yoshiko Seo was a graduate student at the University.
The co-curators of the exhibit both have ties to the University of Kansas. Stephen
Their exhibit offers a modern perspective, expanding upon a 1989 exhibit of Japanese Zen art from 1600 to 1925 that was displayed at the University, of which Addiss was curator while he was teaching here.
When Addiss and Sae proposed the idea for the exhibit, the museum responded enthusiastically, Mary Dusenbury, acting curator of Asian art, told museum patrons.

"It is appropriate that the museum that organized the first major exhibition in North America of the art of Japanese Zen monks host 'The Art of Twentieth-Century Zen: Paintings and Calligraphy by Japanese Masters.'" she said of the museum.
D. T. Suzuki, whose work is in the exhibit, introduced Japanese Zen to the United States through his writings more than a hundred years ago. Since then, it has gained popularity in the West among artists and philosophers as well as the general population, especially since World War II.
The basic characteristics of Zen painting and calligraphy — rugged individualism, spontaneity, the direct recording of the artist's gestures and an emphasis on the raw materials of painting — all find parallels in the work of twentieth-century Western artists." Dusenbury said.

Japanese sculptures on display at Spencer
By Paula Spreitzer Special to the Kansan
An ancient Japanese myth about wood nymphs called Hamadryads inspired Japanese artist Jiro Okuro to create a series of large sculptures, two of which are on display at the Spencer Museum of Art through March 5.
Trees are the source of myths and the focus of worship in Japanese culture. The minimalist sculptures — in which rich, heavy color alternates with raw wood to create an undulating rhythm — explore the nature and spirit of wood. They are here on loan from the Smithsonian Institute.
Steve Owyoung, curator of Asian arts at the St. Louis Art Museum, will discuss the sculptures in a lecture, "Fragrant Spirits: The Art of jiro Okura," at 7 p.m. Thursday, at the Spencer auditorium.
The two pieces are from Okura's series titled Hamadryad. In Greek mythology, Hamadryads were spirits that lived in the woods, and each one was associated with just one tree. According to the myth, each tree houses a divine spirit, making wood shrines and scultures revered.
"The experience of walking into it is really amazing because you can smell the wood," said Noelle Giufrida, art history instructor.
She likened the smell to that of incense.
"It's almost a religious experience," she said.
Okuro used wood from the camphor laurel, an aromatic evergreen that can reach a height of 65 feet and an age of 1.000 years old and that grows wild just north of Kyoto, Japan. In Japan, camphor wood has been used to build Shinto shrines, and the sculptures reflect both the image of the sacred trees as well as the columns of a shrine.
He created the works by chiseling planks of the wood against the grain and distressing the rough surface. He sliced the length of the board against the grain into thin strips of varying degrees of thickness. Leaving the chiseled edges bare, he painted the flat of each strip. Then, he reassembled the strips in their original order, shifting them to expose both the raw wood edge and the painted side.
"It's unusual that he's working in such large sculptural pieces in wood," said Sally Hayden, public relations director at the museum. "It's not turned wood or something else you might normally see. It's something uniquely his own."

Infamous cyber hackers create Internet havoc
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Hackers stepped up a three-day electronic assault yesterday against some of the World Wide Web's most popular sites, inconveniencing millions of Internet users and deepening the mystery of the attackers' identities. The apparently coordinated campaign spread to ETrade, ZDNet and other flagship sites.
The growing anxiety about the Internet's vulnerability contributed to a broad selloff on Wall Street and even prompted efforts by top federal officials to reassure Americans that authorities were doing all in their power to combat the online vandalism.
"We are committed in every way
possible to tracking those who are responsible," Attorney General
Janet Keno said in a news conference in Washington.
She said the motives of the vandals were not known, but they appeared to be attempting to disrupt legitimate electronic commerce.
Hackers could
Reno: Committed to tracking the vandals
face a maximum penalty of 5 to 10 years in jail and up to a $250,000 fife, or in some cases, twice the gross loss to the victim, said FBI cyber-security expert Ronald Dick.
The hacker technique, called a denial-of-service attack, involves directing a flood of messages to computers that run Web sites and overrunning high-tech networks. The impact is comparable to unleashing a wave of calls to tie up a city's phone lines.
Uncertainty about the scope and implications of the cyber attacks rattled investors, contributing to a 258.44 point-slide in the Dow Jones industrial average and halting a string of three consecutive record-high closes of the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index.
Patrick DI Chiro said. Less than one-fifth of its customers were affected by the clogged traffic for about 90 minutes before the company blunted the attack, he said.
In the latest attacks yesterday, the ETrade online brokerage's Web site was hit, but customer accounts were not compromised, representative
Major sites that fell under attack Tuesday included those of eBay, Amazon, CNN and Buy.Com, all in unusually aggressive assaults.
Microsoft's MSN.com, another highly visited site, was indirectly affected because of disruptions to several Internet-service providers carrying its traffic, said Microsoft spokesman Tom Pilla.
Company shares that dropped sharply yesterday included Yahoo, down $13.62 1/2 a share at $362.62 1/2; ETrade, down $1.06 1/4 at $21.93 3/4; and Amazon, down $1.87 1/2 at $81.25.
While the timing of the attacks
WEB SITES UNDER ATTACK

■ Buy.Com
■ CNN
■ eBay

■ ZDNet
remains a mystery, some security experts said that they occurred around a three-day meeting of Internet service providers in San Jose, Calif., which ended Tuesday. The keynote speech at the North American Network Operators' Group focused on denial-of-service attacks.
Federal officials urge businesses to
install protective software and to take other precautions. Meanwhile, sensitive government systems are being secured against attacks.
"Right now there is no sure-fire defense, but we are trying to take some steps," Commerce Secretary William Daley said in a teleconference with reporters.
Some security experts said the flood of publicity for the incidents could actually encourage notoriety-hungry pranksters to become more aggressive.
"It's what these guys go after — to be known as the person or group of people who have pulled these attacks off," said Simon Perry, security business manager at Computer Associates International.
85 hostages released from hijacked plane
The Associated Press
STANSTED, England — Eighty-five hostages, including women and children, walked out the back staircase of a hijacked Afghan plane early today, raising hopes that the crisis may be nearing an end.
The largest release of hostages came about 3:30 a.m., nearly four days after the plane was hijacked. Police said dozens of hostages and their captors were still aboard the plane, parked at Stansted airport near London.
Police vehicles were parked at the foot of the stairs and bright lights shone up the staircase as a steady stream of people walked down the stairs of the Ariana airlines Boeing 727.
Some of those leaving the plane appeared to be holding their hands in the air. During earlier releases, passengers were not seen leaving with their arms raised.
Police were hopeful earlier this evening that a resolution to the four-day crisis was close.
Before the release, officials said 151 people, including 21 children, were believed on board the aircraft, which was hijacked early Sunday 20 minutes into a domestic flight leaving Kabul, Afghanistan's capital. It then began a meandering journey across the former Soviet Union, stopping in Uzbekistan, Kazakstan and Russia.
Among them were 39 members of one family who were traveling to a wedding in the northern Afghan city of Mazare-e-Sharif — including the would-be bride, said Mohammed Daoud Sharisi, who sells tickets at the Ariana office in Kabul.
Early in the day, the hijackers ejected a flight attendant, who was seen being sent forcibly down a set of stairs at the rear of the $ ^{+} $ plane. His departure came four hours after four crew members — the captain, second captain, first officer and flight engineer — escaped by using a rope to lower themselves from the cockpit and jumping onto the tarmac.
Four men, presumed to be hijackers, appeared briefly on the ground at the rear of the plane Wednesday morning to collect fresh supplies. That evening, two men descended the jet's rear steps and collected an evening meal — a result of the continuing negotiations. They appeared to carry out an inspection of the aircraft.
In Kabul, an Ariana employee said Wednesday that several airline officials responsible for security checks on the hijacked flight had been arrested. An Interior Ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said several employees were questioned but allowed to go back to work.
Forbes to announce withdrawal from race
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — After spending more than $66 million of his own money in a relentless six-year bid for political viability, Republican Steve Forbes abandoned his second presidential campaign yesterday with little to show for his investment.
The shy, bookish conservative called it quits after third-place finishes in the New Hampshire and Delaware primaries, according to advisers who said Forbes would announce the decision today in Washington.
His departure triggered a scramble among the remaining contenders for his anti-abortion, anti-tax supporters on the conservative right. It also set the stage for a two-way race between national front-runner George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
"I'm going to be working hard to appeal to his voters," Bush said, as he prepared for a clash
with McCain in this state's Feb. 19 primary.
Fresh off a landslide victory in New Hampshire, McCain made his own bid for Forbes' supporters.
"Most Republicans think my tax cut ... is far more conservative than Governor Bush's tax plan. I think they'll be headed in my direction," he said between campaign stops.
The appeals underscored that Forbes, more than the previous six GOP candidates who dropped out of the race, left his mark on the political scene he failed to conquer. His flat income tax plan became a national issue in his failed 1996 presidential race, and

He also is one of the GOP's top fund-raising attractions.
Exit polls in the first three contests showed that Forbes fared best among voters whose top priority was taxes. He also did well with people looking for a candidate who stands up for what he believes.
In the end, Forbes failed to convince Republicans that he could win in Newham.
"His candidacy failed to connect with Republicans outside of social conservatives in Iowa. All the money in the world isn't going to change that," said GOP strategist Scott Reed, who managed Bob Dole's 1996 campaign which was damaged by an onslaught of critical Forbes ads.
Pollsters say McCain's popularity could wane
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — From coast to coast, the overwhelming support for George W. Bush proved paper-thin as polls in key states swung John McCain's way after his big New Hampshire win.
Bush is still ahead by 20 points or more nationally.
The Vietnam War hero emerged with his victory just as people were starting to pay attention to the presidential campaign, experts say. That meant a quick boost but also could mean his newfound popularity will be equally fleeting.
State polls in South Carolina, Michigan and New York in recent days have shown a close race after Bush had an overwhelming lead for months. McCain has pulled 18 points ahead of Bush in McCain's home state of Arizona, which had been close, in a poll out yesterday. And he has moved up in several national polls, though
Bush had a significant name ID advantage and the whole aura of inevitability, said unaligned Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio, who gauged public opinion for former GOP candidate Elizabeth Dole.
"Now the rush of media attention [for McCain] is overcoming the name ID lead," he said.
Now that voters are paying more attention, the Bush campaign is trying to take advantage by flooding
McCain: Won big in New Hampshire, but Bush leads lead
the airwaves with less than flattering information about McCain. McCain has been fighting
back to keep his supporters.
"He needs three things: to win New Hampshire, which he did; shift public sentiment in his direction, which he appears to be doing, and maintain his momentum between now and March 7," said David Rohde, a Michigan State political scientist, referring to the cluster of primaries including California and New York.
Analysts warn that some primaries down the road are open only to Republicans and will play to Bush's strength among party regulars and conservatives.
Bush campaign spokesman Ari Fleischer says McCain's strength is coming from Democrats who want to influence Republican events. And polls do indicate McCain has been helped by his appeal with independents and some Democrats.
"McCain's bounce might disappear," political pollster Warren Mitfsky said.

Braves' Rocker hopes to alter suspension
NEW YORK — John Rocker is back in the city he hates, trying to overturn his suspension for offensive comments against homosexuals, minorities and foreigners.
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig banned Rocker until May 1, saying the Atlanta Braves' top reliever offended practically every element of society with his comments in a December issue of Sports Illustrated.
The players association quickly appealed the decision, setting up yesterday's hearing in New York before Shyam Das, baseball's new arbitrator.
Das was to hear testimony from Selig and Braves president Stan Kasten. Gene Orza, the union's chief lawyer, planned to argue on Rocker's behalf, and union head Donald Fehr expected to testify on past suspensions.
Time and time again, the players association has convinced arbitrators to reduce or overturn suspensions imposed by baseball.
In 1981, St. Louis shortstop Gary Templeton was suspended and fined $5,000 after making a series of obscene gestures toward heckling fans at Busch Stadium. Two days later, an arbitrator ruled the suspension should be lifted when Templeton checked into a hospital for treatment of depression.
In 1992, Yankees pitcher Steve Howe was suspended for life after pleading guilty to attempting to buy a gram of cocaine. An arbitrator ended the suspension later that year, saying Howe had attention deficit disorder.
NBA
All-Star game rivalry will reside off-court
OAKLAND, Calif. — Phil Jackson still harbors some of his disdain for Jeff Van Gundy rooted in the days of the fierce Bulls-Knicks rivalry.
Van Gundy still thinks Jackson gets a free pass from the media.
One is tall, one is short. One a mav erick, the other a workaholic. One was a wipie, the other a gym rat.
nettner has a particular affinity for the other.
Jackson and Van Gundy, the opposing coaches in the NBA All-Star game Sunday, provide an interesting side story to an annual event where the focus is usually on the players and the coaches just try to keep everyone happy.
This year, there's genuine animosity between the two men pacing the sideline.
NBA
"I don't even pay attention to him. He's like a fly on the wall," Jackson said of Van Gundy, with whom he has never had a conversation.
Jackson said his only images of Van Gundy are from when he came out of the fray in the Derek Harper-Jo Jo English fight in the
1994 playoffs, and when he grabbed Alonzo Mourning's leg during a fight in the 1998 playoffs.
rig aight in the plays' poetry.
Told of Jackson's comments, Van Gundy disputed the details of the Harper-English flight.
"He's got the wrong guy, but that doesn't surprise me. That was Pat pulling you out," Van Gundy said of coach Patt Riley. "You guys have given him a pass for a long time. I would suspect you'd do it again."
The days of Jackson's Bulls always seeming to beat the Knicks, whether led by Riley or Van Gundy, are in the past.
Jackson, after a season away from the NBA, has resurfaced in Los Angeles with the Lakers. Last spring, he met secretly with Knicks president Dave Checkets when Van Gundy's team was underachieving and Checkets was contemplating a housecleaning.
Van Gundy saved his job by leading the Knicks to the NBA Finals, and Jackson settled for the task of trying to coax some cohesion and success out of Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and the rest of the Lakers.
Van Gundy, whose first victory as a coach came against Jackson's 1995-96 Bulls — who won 72 regular-season games — got the nod in the East ahead of Riley and Larry Bird. New York did not have the best record, but Van Gundy won a tie breaker.
Louisville among sites considered for team
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville is one of four sites under consideration for a National Basketball Association franchise, according to an attorney retained to lure a team to the city.
J. Bruce Miller, who is under contract with the Louisville Board of Aldermen, said at a news conference yesterday that he would not disclose the team's identity. Team officials, however, will visit Louisville within the next few months. The identity will become public at that point, he said.
A final decision is scheduled to be made about May 1.
Miller said he did not know the names of the other sites being considered, but that Kansas City, San Diego, Las Vegas, New Orleans, St. Louis and Baltimore have expressed interest in competing with Louisville.
Pittsburgh names new defensive coach
NFL
PITTSBURGH — As the Pittsburgh Steelers' new defensive coordinator, Tim Lewis is stepping into a role that has been a fertile training ground for future coaches.
Lewis was named to the job on Tuesday, replacing Jim Haslett, now coach in New Orleans.
Lewis joined the Steelers two years ago as secondary coach and has been instrumental in developing current Steelers such as Chad Scott, Lee Flowers and Scott Shields.
PITTSBURGH
He beat out Steelers linebackers coach Mike Archer for the coordinator's job. Coach Bail Cowher already
has begun a search for Lewis' replacement.
"It's a great day for Tim Lewis," Cowher said. "I talked with both Mike Archer and Tim Lewis, and when I looked at the other possibilities that were out there, I think it was clear that those two guys have been around here and have paid their dues."
Sour past turns sunny for OU
Oklahoma's day in the stadium has come The Oklahoma women's basketball team, 19-4 overall, 9-1 In the Big 12, used to drag at the bottom of the Big 12 standings.
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
oma's day in the sun has come.
This season is proof that things can change.
this season is proof that things can change.
Tuesday night in Ames, Iowa, No. 8 Iowa State and
No. 17 Oklahoma battled for first place in the con-
ference. With an 8-0 record, Oklahoma was the cur-
rent champion, not even the challenger.
"A few years ago, an Oklahoma-lowa State game for first in the conference would be as likely as a
Rams-Titans Super Bowl," said Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly. "This is very good for the conference."
Though Oklahoma lost to Iowa State 71-56, it cannot diminish from what they have accomplished.
Averaging 80.3 points per game, the Sooners had not lost a game since Dec.29 when they lost to No.1 Connecticut.
The Sooners have been shooting almost 50 percent from the field and 35 percent from three-point range. Despite this, Oklahoma was picked to finish in the middle of the conference, instead of near the top.
"Team chemistry gives us an edge," said Sooner coach Sherri Coale. "Individually, we are not particularly special, but together we are."
Commentary
6 Big 12 teams vie for championship
By Matt Tait
Kansan sportswriter
The Big 12 Conference race wasn't supposed to be like this, at least not according to the predictions of coaches and media at the beginning of the year.
Instead of being the six-team race that it is, the champion was only supposed to be one of two, maybe three teams. After all, defending-champion Texas returned its nucleus of center Chris Milhm and forward Gabe Muonekue, and well, Kansas is Kansas.
The third team picked to have an outside shot was Oklahoma State, and if Monday's 86-53 dismantling of Kansas is any indication, the Cowboys may be the current favorite.
What then does all of this mean?
Simple. The Big 12 is full of big-time players and big-time teams.
According to the Ratings Power Index, the six teams vying for the conference crown — Iowa State, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas — are all among the top 30 in the nation, with Oklahoma State highest at No. 10 and Iowa State lowest at No. 27. Kansas is No. 13.
"This is a tough conference," Kansas forward Drew Gooden said. "Every team is strong and has talent."
As for the conference's best players, leading the way is Iowa State's Marcus Fizer. Fizer leads the league in scoring with 20.7 points a game and is ninth in rebounding, averaging 7.5 rebounds a game.
Rounding out the league's top scorers are three players who were on the preseason All-Big 12 team: Oklahoma's Eduardo Najera, 19;5. Oklahoma State's Desmond Mason, 19;2 and Texas' Chris Mihm, 18.1.
With the NCAA Tournament a month away, ESPN's Andy Katz has predicted the Big 12 to land all six teams in the field of 64 — the most of any conference.

Juco transfers get head start on team
By Allan Davis
Kansan sportswriter
If you need them, they will come.
If you need them, they will come.
That's the way recruiting worked for Jayhawk Marquis Hayes, a 6-foot-4-inch, 250-pound defensive end from Kemper Military Junior College (Mo.). He thought Kansas needed him more than other schools.
"There were a lot of other schools that were recruiting — they had four or five defensive ends, and I didn't understand why would they need me in the picture." Hayes said. "And with this school, they had two graduating defensive ends. I knew it was a great opportunity to come in
and be effective in the Big 12."
KU
The loss of six senior defensive linemen, including both starting defensive ends.
and two senior starters from the offensive line left opportunities for experienced junior college linemen to transfer to Kansas and have an immediate impact. That's exactly what seems to be in progress. The 2000 Jayhawk recruiting class includes six linemen from junior colleges — five defensive linemen and one offensive lineman.
three of the junior college recruits — Hayes, Tony Damiani and Ryan Atkinson — transferred to Kansas and enrolled for the spring semester, a move that would allow them to participate in spring drills.
Hayes said he decided to come to
Kansas this semester so that he would feel more comfortable next fall.
Atkinson, a 6-foot-2-inch, 295-pound defensive lineman from Citrus Community College (Calif.), found something special about being a student-athlete at Kansas that convinced him to become a Jayhawk.
"Kansas was the best opportunity," Atkinson said. "They provided me the best academic/athletic combination I could find of all the schools that I was being recruited by."
Damiani, a 6-foot-4-inch, 275-pound offensive lineman, found a lot to like about his future teammates and the locale.
"On my trip all the guys were real nice, and I liked the city," said Damiani, an Arizona resident. "I have a lot of family in Illinois and Michigan, so it kind of cut the distance in half, so they could come and watch games."
He also liked the level of competition.
"Obviously the Big 12 is one of the best conferences in college football, so that was a strong point," Damiani said.
All three are participating in twice-a-day off-season strength and conditioning drills and expect to be ready to contribute to the team this fall.
Hayes said he was very competitive, and even though he hadn't been on this level, he knew he could compete in the Conference.
"Iugress I can't find out till we start playing in the games," he said, "but I feel real confident in my game, that I will be successful."
Thomas remembered by college teammates
The Associated Press
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Friends and former Alabama teammates of Derrick Thomas remembered him Tuesday as far more than just a spectacular linebacker who won the 1988 Dick Butkus Award with the Crimson Tide.
"He was such a vibrant person, so full of life, and his spirit touched so many people. His enthusiasm was unbounded," said Alabama coach Mike DuBose, who was an assistant when Thomas played linebacker there from 1985 to 1988.
Thomas, 33, died Tuesday in a hospital where he was being treated for injuries from a Jan. 23 car crash that left him paralyzed from the chest down. The Kansas City Chiefs said he died of a heart attack.
Thomas was injured when the car he was driving flipped on an icy road in Missouri. He broke his spine and neck.
David Crane, a broadcaster for the Crimson Tide Network, said one of his favorite Alabama memories was when Thomas dominated a 1988 game against Penn State.
1538 games against Alabama beat Penn State 8-3, and Thomas set a school record with nine quarterback hurries. Crane said it was one of the first times fans cheered for the defense to come back on the field.
"Everybody wanted to see what Derrick would do next," Crane said. "He could take over a game. Obviously, he was someone special. He meant a lot to the university not just because of what he did in football, but also because he was such a likable person."
In 1989, Thomas was a first-round draft pick for the Chiefs. He went on to the Pro Bowl nine times while playing for Kansas City.
He often returned to Alabama, where he was remembered as one of the Tide's greatest athletes.
Spencer Hammond, a former teammate of Thomas' at Alabama who now lives in Miami, said Tuesday that he visited his friend a couple of times a week following his accident.
"He was very upbeat and very positive about his rehab and that he was going to be up and walking again." Hammond said. "It was always a joy to be around him. He just had that kind of spirit about himself no matter what was going on around him, even if it was bad."
Thomas had been close friends with country singer Hank Williams Jr. since meeting at a concert when Thomas played for Alabama, said Kathy Gangwisch, the singer's publicist.
Williams' will be among those attending Thomas' funeral, she said.
Thomas appeared in Williams' music video "Come on Over to the Country," released in April 1992.
He joined Williams on stage in singing his anthem song, "Family Tradition."
"Derrick also was a guest in Hank's home many times," Gangwisch said. "They fished together a great deal."

Team's intramural fun leads to ejection, forfeit
By Ryan Mokalschock
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
A comedy of errors turned into a dismissal of iokers Tuesday night at Robinson Center.
Shooting halfcourt shots, wearing wigs and running the three-man weave were just some of the comedy acts the B1 All Stars used to entertain themselves, as well as opponents and fans during intramural basketball games.
Tuesday night the comedy was brought to an abrupt halt as the B-1 All Stars were asked to leave the game by Jason Krone, assistant director of Recreational Services, and were forced to forfeit their game.
Erik Lund, team captain and Overland Park senior, was shocked at their ejection, claiming that his team was just having a good time
"We know that we're not great at basketball. We just have fun," Lund said."We're not out there to win really. We just want to entertain the crowd, the other team and ourselves. Yeah, it might be kind of obnoxious, but it's fun and all in good taste."
Krone has declined to comment on the situation. He said he only could discuss the situation with the participating teams.
During the B-1 All Stars' first game, the team dressed in costumes, was introduced with rock music by friends and was carried off the court by its fans after a surprising victory.
Not amused by the previous week's antics, Krone the team into a meeting before Tuesday night's game, Lund said.
Lund said that the team was told it could not play music before its games, wear costumes, or bring any of its own fans because of the court storming that had happened the week before.
"We didn't agree with the things he (Krone) told us, but we followed the rules and we followed the rules they made for us." Lund said. "We had no music, no costumes, we were in athletic gear, and we didn't even bring our fans."
Tuesday only one player wore a wig and everything else was by the book.
Olympians have about five minutes into the game, Lund said the game was stopped and the team was given a warning by Krone to start playing serious.
Troy Taduran, Lawrence senior and captain of Tuesday night's opposing team, did not
view the play of the B-1 All Stars as detrimental to the game.
"We were a little upset because we're trying to be competitive and get better," Taduran said. "But the way they were playing was harmless. They didn't break any rules; they were just crazy. We thought it was pretty funny."
For the remainder of the first half, the team continued to play in the same fashion it had before the warning was given. Lund said the team kept doing what it does best: having fun
But Krone told the B-1 All Stars to leave at halftime because their play was a mockery of the game, Lund said. When they refused, Lund said Krone told them they had 30 seconds or he would call the police.
Krone would not comment on whether that was true.
The team left Robinson, frustrated and looking for answers.
"We're upset because we didn't break any rules," Lund said. "We looked over the four sheets of rules and couldn't find one that we broke. We pay for Robinson, we pay for intramurals and we shouldn't have gotten the privilege of playing revoked."
Jonathan Alt, Winnetka, Ill., senior, was at Robinson Tuesday night watching another game when the B-1 All Stars' game caught his attention.
"It looked like a bunch of guys trying to have a good time playing basketball and the supervisor at Robinson not letting them," Alt said.
Jayhawks set to mess with Texas
Lund said that the team had not heard from Krone and planned to play in next week's game.

At this rate, the Kansas women's basketball team is hoping the Texas Longhorns don't bring a case of mad cow disease to Allen Fieldhouse tonight.
After Sunday's 75-68 victory against Oklahoma State, most of the No. 23 Jayhawks were anticipating tonight's 73-0 game against the Texas Longhorns, who are 15-7 overall and 63 in the Big 12 Conference.
But after Tuesday's practice, the team just wanted its health
"I think that right now they've just been trying to still
stay healthy," said coach Marian Washington of her players. "It's fortunate that we have a couple of days. Hopefully we'll be ready by Thursday."
TONIGHT'S GAME

Who: No. 23 Kansas women vs. Texas When/Where: 7:30 tonight at Allen Fieldhouse TV/Radio: Fox Sports Net (Ch. 45); 90.7 FM and 1320 AM
Heather Fletcher's back has bothered her and freshman center Jamie Shelite did not practice Tuesday.
Junior point guard Jennifer Jackson is also not in top form — an Oklahoma State player fell on her right ankle at Sunday's game. Jackson practiced Tuesday with her ankle taped.
Washington said that her four ailing players should be able to play tonight.
And considering Texas' explosive attack, she'll need everyone.
"They are such a balanced ball club." Washington said. "They have a number of players who can hurt you from the three-point line. They have a number of players who can break you down off the dribble."
Texas' entourage is led by senior guard/forward Edwinna Brown, a top 10 candidate for national player of the year honors. Brown ranks No. 3 in the nation in scoring, averaging 22.5 points per game. She also averages 5.9 assists and eight rebounds a game.
There's more for Kansas to worry about than just Brown, unlike their last opponent, Oklahoma State and its star player Jennifer Crow.
"We're working on what it is we really want to focus on, and what we may have to give up. They've got good size now in the paint, especially with Littleton," Washington said of 6-foot4 junior center Carla Littleton. "They play 10 players."

and I think their first nine average 10 to 12 minutes."
With such an athletic team, Texas game plan isn't a surprise to the Jayhawks.
"They're definitely an up-and-down team," said junior forward Jacyn Johnson. "So we'll have to put on our running shoes for that game."
To counter Texas' transition attack, Washington said that her team must establish the tone early — especially since Kansas, 165 and 72 in the Big 12, will be at home.
"Those first five to eight minutes will be important for

us," she said. "And we really have to focus on our defense those first few minutes because they are such an explosive ball club."
Johnson thinks a similar attitude can work in her team's favor tonight.
"We're going to have to play aggressive defense — the same we played against Iowa State — and hopefully we'll come out with the win," she said.
Longhorns ride roller coaster into fieldhouse
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan writeswritter
Tourists travel hundreds of miles to visit the "Texas Giant" at Six Flags Over Texas, but right now the biggest roller coaster in the state may be the Texas women's basketball team.
The Longhorns, 15-7 overall (6-3 in the Big 12) are 10-1 at home but 5-6 on the road. They beat No. 6 North Carolina State St 81-77 almost two weeks after losing to medioca Oklahoma State St 71-69. Four days after killing Baylor St 83-61. Texas was killed by No. 7 Texas Tech T 73-44.
"I feel like I'm on a roller coaster ride," said Texas coach Jody Conradt. "We are capable of playing well, and at times, we have not been very good. Hopefully, it is just a part of our youth."
But it's not as though the Longhorns are without hone.
"We are not at the point where we wanted to be or expected to be, but we have to keep taking steps toward where we want to be," said junior guard JoRuth Woods. "This game will be a good start. We need this win."
Texas is led by senior forward Edwina Brown, who ranks third among Division I scorers, averaging 22.5 points per game. Brown, a candidate for Naismith National Player of the Year honors, joined Kansas forward Lynn Pride as the only two college players to play in the Pan American Games during the summer.
"It will be really difficult to assign any one player to
stop her," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "I know that she is the heart and soul of that team. So defense will be a main focus for us. I have to know what we are willing to give up and decide on that now."
Although she is one of only two players scoring in double figures, Brown cannot be the entire focus.
Freshman guard Alisha Sare, who averages 12.3 point per game and has earned Big 12 Rookie of the Week honors twice, has been a pleasant surprise for Texas.
"Alisha Sare is the catalyst on this team." Conradt said. "As she goes, so goes the team. She has had injury and adjustment problems, but she is doing excellent now. Her attitude makes a significant difference to this team."
Offense will not be the main focus against Kansas. Conradt said that her team need to stay composed and play a tough defensive contest to win the game.

Ultimate Frisbee club members flying high on road to national competition

Throwing a Frisbee has come a long way.
He said the HorrorZontals, Kansas' Ultimate Frisbee club, was one of the older programs in the nation, entering its 20th year.
"The sport is growing now," said Will Spotts, team captain and Lawrence graduate student. "People are getting that hippie-dog idea out of their mind."
The season starts with an invitational tournament March 4 and 5 in Baton Rouge, La.
"A fluke really," he said. "I showed up one time. I was pretty good at throwing a disc. I had some preconceived notions and those were shattered."
Ultimate Frisbee combines elements of soccer, football and basketball in a fast-paced game, played with a Frisbee, where everyone is a quarterback and everyone is a receiver.
"It's a lot different than going out and playing with your dog," A.J. Delane, Overland Park senior said. "This is an extremely intense sport."
Danelay, Overland Park senior, got involved with the HorrorZontals by calling up recreational sports and asking if the University of Kansas had a team. Shortly after, a of couple players contacted him and
showed him a great time.
The team looks to continue their good times in the future, but it has not been all good for the HorrorZontals.
"When ! started we were national contenders," Spotts said. "But in 1994, a lot of the team graduated."
This year, the team has qualified for nation-
Graduation took the core of the team, and Spotts has been leading the rebuilding since.
als, which is being held in Boise, Idaho.
Funding for these trips is scarce. The University of Kansas gives the team $300 each year, which is not enough to cover expenses. Additional funding comes from player dues, which are not a set amount but rather out-of-pocket contributions, and various fund-raisers, including an annual fundraiser with the Kansas City Blades.
"We probably need to raise six to seven thousand dollars." Spotts said.
In addition to the trip to Boise, the team also will participate in tournments in Austin, Texas, Wilmington, N.C.; and Savannah, Ga., Regionals will be held either at Birmingham, Ala, or University, Miss.
Patience is a virtue in this sport. Patience to get the money. Patience to get the disc into the end zone.
"Patience is huge and is tough to teach." Spotsa said. "Eighty passes for a score is necessary. Some people think three and good, but you need that 80-pass drive if you are going into the wind. Anyone can score with the big play, but the good teams have the ability for the quick strike or to dink it up the field."
Spotts and Delaney hope to bring their sport out of the shadows.
"We need to let people know it is here, and it is waiting to be played." Delaney said.

Student finds love in Spain
By Robyn Brooks Special to the Kansan
Elyse Neitzel returned home from a semester studying in Spain last year with more than just the usual souvenirs.
She came back with a new romantic relationship.
Elyse, Dallas senior, walked into a neighborhood wine bar in the late afternoon last spring with a friend from the study abroad program.
Patrons filled the bar stools as usual. But there was something different — one was taken by a younger man.
The two women, both 21, had gone there often since their arrival in Granada the previous month, but they never had seen anyone else their age there.
Elyse, who thought he was cute, nudged her friend and nodded toward him.
He thought the same about her.
"Dad, look at the blonde," Alfonso Luna said to the man sitting next to him. "Do you think she is from the neighborhood?"
Their view of each other was blocked by a column, so Alfonso walked outside to get a better look at Elyse. Then, Elyse did the same thing.
"She just did the same thing." he said to his dad. "I have to go meet her."
Alfonso began to walk out to the door again when Elyse yelled, "Are you American?"
"What?" Alfonso said in Spanish.
At that moment, Elyse knew he did not speak English.
He approached the women and asked in Spanish if he could sit down. Neitzel tried to say yes, but found herself just nodding her head.
Elyse knew little Spanish but was willing to make the effort to talk to Alfonso. After all, she was in Spain to learn and practice the language.
It was Alfonso's and his father's first night in Granada. They were staying in the hotel above the bar for five weeks while they painted houses. Alisono, 25, was from Malaga, Spain, an hour away from Granada.
After their initial meeting, they began seeing each other. He would surprise her at the house where she was stying, go 30 minutes out of his way to walk her to class, write her poems and meet her at parks.
at park "Our life together was without problems," Elyse said. "Whenever we saw each other, it was beautiful."

Dining out on Cupid's Day
Restaurant-goers will not escape waiting in line
By Sindy Greenfield
By Sindy Greenfield Kansan correspondent
While some people dread Valentine's Day, others dream of it. But regardless, it is still one of the busiest nights for restaurants. It is part of our culture to celebrate with a good meal. However, some people want to avoid the chaos and the crowds.
Sarah Brown, Overland Park senior, contemplated how she and her boyfriend would celebrate the day dedicated to devotion and love.
"We were thinking of going to the Macaroni Grill, but there will be a long wait," Brown said.
Although Brown only knew this in theory, she was right.
Romano's Macaroni Grill located at 9292 Metcalf Ave., Overland Park, said that Valentine's Day is the busiest day of the year besides Mother's Day. Keon is expecting Valentine's Day to live up to its reputation even though it falls on a Monday.
Robert Keon, one of five managers at
Keon estimated that, on the average weekend, 2,500 people are served at Macaroni Grill. Valentine's Day weekend he is expecting about 3,500 people.
Even though an abundant amount of people are expected, no reservations will be accepted, but he will follow the normal policy of call-ahead seating. People are allowed to call in a month in advance. However, the only advantage to calling in early is being seated before walk-ins.
Along with no changes in policy, there won't be any changes in the menu, except maybe for dessert, depending on the available produce, Keon said. That makes it difficult for him to put an elegant and unique touch on a couple's Valentine's Day celebration.
"This usually cuts the party's wait in half." Keon said.
in. In the past, they usually place a variety of berries in a tall glass with layers of whipped cream. Keon is expecting something close to that variety this year.
While Sarah Brown doesn't have to journey to Overland Park to celebrate with her boyfriend, staying in Lawrence is not going to save her from the crowds.
Liz Dessert, manager of Paisano's, 2112 W. 25th St., is expecting about 800 people. Last year, the restaurant served 838 on Valentine's Day and 612 the evening before. Paisano's normally serves 200 to 500 people during weekends. And as far as reservations go, Dessert said they couldn't handle that type of volume, but a party may call a half-hour in advance.
"Last year there was no special because the restaurant was undergoing some management changes," Dessert said. "But this year, we want to try it because our staff is more secure in the business and we can handle more."
unlike last year, Dessert is debating whether Paisano's will have specials specifically for Valentine's Day.

Mchnes, Overland Park junior, agreed that the hearts were a good choice for

"I want to hold your hand' would be a good one, or how about 'all you need is love'," he said.
No matter what the phrases, McInnes likes to eat the chalky candy.
"They are so good," he said. "I eat them by the box. They make me feel loved."
Conversation hearts come in six flavors: orange, peppermint, lemon, cherry, banana and grape.
"My favorite are the white ones," said Danielle Clock, Chicago freshmen. The peppermint-flavored candies are the only hearts she eats.
Others completely dislike the candy all together.
"Everyone gives them out,
but I hate the way they taste."
Jeremy Bennett, Kansas City,

NECCO introduced a new line of chocolate-flavored hearts with a millennium theme.

Valentine's Day Edition
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday. You may know a lot, but you don't know it all until you can listen even better than you speak. By February, you should have your agenda worked out. Be quiet and move quickly in March. Show off what you're learning in April and ponder a new development in May. Your enemy is your best friend in August, and your plans come to fruition around December. Hide out and count your blessings in January.
You should be in a good mood. A person you're attracted to might be a little standoffish, though. Go ahead and prove you're the best.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
Yaurus: Today is a 7.
You may be off to a slow start this morning. You could have complications of some which are due to causes beyond your control. Finish up as much old stuff as possible.
You're forceful, dynamic, self-confident and enthusiastic. You might even be right. Others think you are, but don't believe them. You're the one who's more likely to know for sure.
You're generally doing well, but you could encounter a snag. One older person in particular can take offense if you miss something he or she thinks is important. Offer your apologies freely.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
Leo: Today is an 8.
There may be a conflict between what you want to do and what others want you to do. If the other people are signing your paycheck, better do what they want. The people you love will understand. Tomorrow's much better for romance and family matters, anyway.
Gemini: Today is a 7
Virao: Today is a 6.
You and a partner are after the same objective. You have different ways of approaching the problem. Stay in communication and be flexible.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
If you and another person are locking horns, get a friend to intervene. You're good at helping other people sort out their issues. You may not be able to mediate if you're personally involved.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Even though you're facing some big jobs, you've got a lot going for you. Tempers are short. You're good at staying calm even under a great deal of pressure.
9
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Your focus is on home and family,
buying and selling, wheeling and dea-
ling. Money is coming in and going out
Pay attention so you end up with a
profit. You should be able to make
some good deals.
Sagittarius: Today is a 7 There's plenty of love in your life, and that makes up for whatever you lack. Keep your sense of humor, and even a whiney roommate won't mess up your good mood.
O
LION
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
If you could study all day long, you'd be in heaven. The day would go by in about five minutes. That's what it would seem like, anyway. You could make several awesome discoveries, too.

You're not sure of the outcome, but you're creative. Don't leave it up to chance. Get yourself into the proper environment, and the proper attitude, to have a great idea. You can make it happen, and you should.

Holiday's commercialization evolves from Christian origins
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.

Kansan correspondent
For many Americans, Valentine's Day is a day of love or heartache, depending upon an individual's current love situation. However, many people forget to look past the crafty cards and the mouth-watering boxes of chocolates. Beyond these modern Valentine's Day traditions, the holiday has significant historical and religious roots, said Paul Mirecki, professor of religious studies.
Valentine's Day became the replacement for a pagan festival celebrated by the Romans after Valentine, a Roman priest, was martyrred in 269 A.D.
Mirecki said the early Christians celebrated the date of his death in mid-February. The Christians eliminated the pagan festival, yet carried on some of its traditions.
History of Valentine's Day
"The pagan traditions were kept because of their popularity with the masses," Mirecki said.
While a small minority of Catholics still celebrate the religious significance of Valentine's Day, it has become a "Hallmark Holiday" in our modern culture. Mirecki said that Valentine's Day was primarily a Western and Christian phenomenon that had been marketed widely in our country. As with other holidays of Christian origin, legends and unrelated symbols often become associated with the holiday throughout time.
"Cupid is a stylistic, artistic addition to the idea of love on

Valentine, a Roman priest, was martyred. Christians celebrate his death in mid-February with a festival, which was eliminated in early Christian history. However, observance of the day continued.

Barry Shank, professor of American studies, said that Valentine's Day was not popular until the mid-19th century in the United States. The holiday has had varying degrees of success.
After the Civil War, card companies started in cities from Boston to Kansas City. This led to the beginning of the commercialization of Valentine's Day in the United

States.
"Fancy English and German paper made for poems including 'Valentine Writer Books' were imported to an elite group of Americans prior to the 1840s," Shank said. "The popularity of Valentine's Day bursted during the Civil War while women were separated from their loved ones."
Louis Prong, Boston businessman, and the Gibson Co. of Cincinnati began selling comic cards that appealed to consumers.

There also were a variety of cards that were made specifically for Valentine's Day. For example, the Esther Howland Co. made fancy Valentine's Day cards for wealthy consumers, while TW Strong Co. made comical cards that insulted the social class of many individuals.

"Comic Valentine's remained the most popular among consumers until 1900," Shank said.
Although the popularity of Valentine's Day declined, it had a resurgence a few years later. in the 1870s, Louis Prong, a Boston businessman, and the Gibson Co. of Cincinnati, began to sell Valentine's Day cards that appealed to consumers.

In 1910, there was a revival of card
companies, including PF Volland of Chicago, Rust Craft of Kansas City and later on, American Greetings of Cleveland and the Hall Bros. of Kansas City.
The Spencer Museum of Art had turn-of-the-century Valentine's Day cards on display a few years ago, said Sally Hayden, the museum's managing editor for the museum's publications.
"The Valentine's were part of the personal art collection of Sallie Casey Thayer, the wife of a Kansas businessman who donated the collection in the 1920s," Hayden said.
Hayden said that the Valentine's Day cards would not be on display this year because of exhibition schedules.
Gays find holiday options
Students ignore stereotypes participate in celebrations to honor their relationships
By Leah Shaffer
Kansan correspondent
Traditions die hard. The typical images associated with Valentine's Day are hearts, a guy, a girl, and Cupid. However, in today's society, people are gradually becoming aware of a change in the traditional definitions of love.
Sometimes, instead of a guy and a girl, there is a guy and a guy, or a girl and a girl. Gays and lesbians must not only deal with complications of romantic relationships, but, they also must be ready for the judgment of society and the rejection of peers.
"I think the homosexual community has come a long ways in the last few decades, but, there are still obstacles to overcome," said David Utter, Minneapolis, Kan. freshman. "There will always be a certain stereotype and prejudice against us. So, I think that we have to be more tolerant and accepting of other individuals' attitudes so long as they can accept ours."
Last year's Valentine's Day had been a rough one for Utter who had just revealed his sexuality a few months before. The person he happened to be dating at the time was still in the closet, and the relationship had to be in secret.
"It was hard not being able to express my feelings for him on Valentine's Day in the same manner that everyone else was. I'm anticipating this year, though, because Lawrence is a community that is more accepting than the small town I grew up in; so, I hope to be able to partake in the Valentine rituals more openly," he said.
Utter's story would not be an unusual one. Although society has shown evidence of tolerating the presence of gays, change has been much slower when it comes to actually acknowledging the validity of gay or lesbian love.
that took place in Vermont last December. Vermont state supreme court ruled that homosexual couples would be allowed to have all of the benefits heterosexual couples receive in marriage. However, the court would not grant them the right to get marriage licenses. Utter's current partner, Aaron Smith, sophomore from Gardner, was one of many in the gay and lesbian community at large that was dissatisfied with the compromise.
"Anyone who says that gay marriages would just desecrate the union of marriage between heterosexual needs to study the divorce rate in this country," said Smith. "All of those heterosexual couple were allowed to get married, and look where their marriages ended. I would venture to guess that if anything is making a mockery of marriage, it isn't."
An example of this is seen in the recent events
Progress is slow, but, hopes are high among the local gay and lesbian community.
"Lawrence is a very accepting town," said Smith. "I have been out with dates and friends in many different environments within Lawrence, and I have never stumbled across any problems."
"Definitely the coolest thing I can think of to do this Valentine's Day is to go to the DCAP benefit dance at Liberty Hall," said Liza Rasor, Lawrence graduate student.
The Douglas County Aids Project sponsors four such benefits every year. The one held at Liberty Hall on the 12th is considered the largest.
"For one night, its like a Utopia, because nobody makes a big fuss about who's dancing with who." said Rasor.
No matter the differences, most people on Valentine's Day simply will try to spend the holiday with people they care about, whether gay or straight. Of course, let's not forget the miserably single.
"I don't think Valentine's Day is any harder for gays than it is for heterosexuals," said Smith. Let's face it, it sucks to be along on Valentine's Day! Sincerely, who likes to watch all the happy-sappy couples exchanging flowers and candy while you sit at home buried in junk food and cry-your-eyes-out romance movies?"
Dateless find ways to ease lonliness enjoy celebration
By Amy Brady
Kansan correspondent
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, those lucky enough to be in a relationship have hearts beating with romantic anticipation for the sweet nothings sure to be whispered in their ears.
But for individuals lacking a hand to hold, Valentine's Day is less of a celebration of amour than it is a reminder of rejection and heartache.
"It's rough," said Dan Stanley, Springfield, Va. senior, who will be spending Valentine's Day alone for the first time in three years. "I'm going to work, so hopefully, it'll feel like any other day."
Working is one way to help forget the loneliness singles may feel but some have found that redefining the meaning of the holiday can be a lot more fun and rewarding.
In elementary school, Valentine's Day was something to look forward to. Rather than worrying about having a date, some students recalled time spent playing candy-heart bingo and decorating cardboard boxes guaranteed to be filled with valentines from fellow classmates.
Everyone was encouraged to make valentines for parents and grandparents. Later that evening, sticky, marker-stained fingers exchanged the handmade "I love you's" with sweet treats from relatives who wanted to say the same thing.
Some students agreed that the meaning of Valentine's Day should return to these innocent roots and be expanded to include universal love, not just romance.
"I like to spend Valentine's Day with a platonic friend," said Sarah Homan, Overland Park, freshman. "That's the great thing about platonic love. It's natural, not hindered by commitment or responsibility."
She said the dateless should celebrate different kinds of love by sending a card to a friend or calling someone special.

Some foods may sweeten after-dinner trea
Benefits of aphrodisiacs based in lore
By BriAnne Hess
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Viagra wasn't the first attempt by man to increase virility and sexual desire. Ancient love manuals from India and China claimed some foods affected one's sexual drive.
But what really works? Alex Fraser, Lawrence doctoral student, said an aphrodisiac was anything that increased sexual desire or performance. Foods that possessed these qualities were divided into two main categories.
The first category was the doctrine of similarities, Fraser said. If the food looked like something that brought sex to mind, it was usually labeled an aphrodisiac. Fraser supplied examples such as the mandrake root and ginseng which resemble phalluses, and the tomato, which resembles the female breast and is red and engorged.
The second category of foods provided nutrition or energy, Fraser said. She cited ancient Chinese and Indian love manuals that prescribed drinks of milk and honey, which Fraser said was essentially a protein shake.
Sandra Gray, associate pro
fessor of anthropology, said she normally gave an aphrodisiac foods lecture to her Introduction to Human Nutrition class on Valentine's Day. She said she focused on the nutritional values of foods that are spicy and sweet and why they would serve those kinds of foods in a brothel.
Fraser said most of the literature on women that involved sexual organs was about fertility instead of sexual arousal and birth control pills were probably one of the most effective oral aphrodisiacs for women today.
"Man is usually who the food aphrodisiac was designed for instead of for the women,

which is interesting," Fraser s a i d . "Apparently they weren't too interested in pleasing the women."
1) Organic spring greens with dressing of choice
2) Linguine with Spicy Thai Sauce
3) Orange You Gonna Kiss Me Martini
3) Chocolate covered strawberries
Fraser said powdered rhinoceros horn, which is made of the protein
from a 16th century Arab erotic manual, The Perfumed Garden,
made her laugh it was so ridiculous.
"It said a member of the Abou el Heiloukh has remained erect without a break for 30 days because he did eat onions," Fraser said.
"Food has a sensual component. But the best aphrodisiac is the human mind."
The manual then explained the onions were cooked with
keratin and looks like a phallus, was so sought after that it threatened the rhinoceros population.
Alex Fraser Lawrence doctoral student
"There was even a story in a natural history museum where they had problems with people going up to their stuffed rhinoceros and sawing the horn off," Fraser said. "They placed a stuffed rhinon horn on the animal and it was sawed off, too." One story Fraser recalled
meat and then the onion juice was boiled with honey. Fraser said she didn't recommend this tactic to anyone, and the claim was probably
based on the strength of the onions which suggested potency. Fraser said the following foods had extensive aphrodisiac lore:
Seafood is high in protein but also high in Vitamin E which renews tissue. The underlying idea is that it will keep up a man's potency.
Fraser said the reference to oysters as Venus on the half shell could be attributed to its
similarity to female genitalia and its nutritional value. Oysters are high in protein but also high in the minerals selenium, which is a mood booster, and zinc, which is essential for prostate health and the metabolism.
- Spicy foods attack the sympathetic nervous system, so eyes and nose run and blood rushes to the mouth. The rush of endorphins is similar to that created during sexual arousal.
Alcohol in small amounts lowers inhibitions and works as a relaxant. Fraser said alcohol in large quantities was definitely not conducive to positive sexual experiences.
Barbara Shortridge, assistant professor of geography, said her Urban Geography class discussed foods that were normally considered aphrodisiac. The students listed foods they had heard were aphrodisiascs strawberries, chocolate, aspiragus, black olives, alcoholic beverages and nuts.
Good food had been a prelude to sex for centuries, Fraser said.
"Food has a sensual component," Fraser said, "But the best aphrodisiac is the human mind."

Gift giving adds stress to holiday
[Image of a teddy bear sitting on a pile of black beans with two heart-shaped boxes in front.]
Chocolate and stuffed animals are popular gifts for students to give, especially if they are trying to save money. However, many students
Students look for unique ideas within budget
By Molly Gise
Kansan correspondent
The days when Valentine's Day gift-giving choices consisted of which cards to give to the boys and which to give to the girls are long gone.
Now Valentine's Day gifts include more than cartoon character-themed cards and conversation hearts. For some student couples, deciding how to celebrate the holiday takes the fun away from the Valentine's Days of childhood.
"I have no idea what to do for my boyfriend on Valentine's Day," said Hilarie Raleigh, Little River junior.
Raleigh and her boyfriend have a troubled history of exchanging gifts.
"We have totally different tastes, so it's hard for me to get him a present," she said. "In the past we've had to take back his presents. We just resorted to doing personal things."
Like Raleigh, Iola sophomore Geoff Gillman that finding the right gift was not easy.
"A lot of time I just let the spirit move me," he said. "Or I hit up her friends for information."
Ultimately, Gillman said he thought that Valentine's Day should be about more than buying gifts.
"The money thing really bother me," he said. "It puts a price tag on things."
For students such as Gillman, the significance of a gift should be more important than its price.
"You don't want to give them a
CD and have them give you a picture frame with the two of you in it," said Karen Keith, Tulak, Oka, freshman.
Although a dozen roses is one of the most common gifts on Valentine's Day, Keith recommended that men consider buying just a single flower.
"Not only is it cheaper, but it's so much better for them to have picked something out themselves," she said.
Rather than a dozen roses, "I would like just as much a daisy and a picnic," Keith said.
Other students agree that gifts should not be an integral part of Valentine's Day.
"It should be about doing something fun and special, not about giving something," Keith said.
Many couples, especially those who have been dating for a long time, celebrate Valentine's Day by simply spending time together.
Portland, Ore., junior Kari Jamison and her boyfriend have been dating for about five years.
"We'll probably just spend the day together," Jamison said.
When finding the perfect gift proved problematic, Raleigh said she found greater success doing personal things for her boyfriend, such as cooking dinner for the two of them.
For some students, buying Valentine's Day gifts was easy and enjoyable.
Classic tokens of affection such as roses, candy, balloons and stuffed animals never go out of style. More said.

Alaska, freshman, has bought
gifts ranging from a dozen roses
to a 2-foot tall teddy bear for past

in showering girls and not getting anything in return."
"All girls have a thing for chocolate, so you can't go wrong," he said.
"There are things that melt their heart," he said. "And that's what I get them for Valentine's Day."
More said he also researched what his girlfriend liked before looking for a gift.
"Valentine's Day is a girl's day," More said. "I truly believe
Sweethearts suffer from post-Valentine letdown after big day
By Sara Bouska
Kansan correspondent
Another gift-giving holiday has arrived in the form of Valentine's Day, and while some University of Kansas students search for the perfect gift, others prepare to be disappointed.
"It can put strain on the relationship because expectation levels of the guy and girl are so differ ent," he said.
Travis McAtee, Washington graduate student, said that with all the agonizing about gifts and resulting disappointments, Valentine's Day was the worst time of year to be in a relationship.
Though both men and women could be disappointed with what they are given for Valentine's day, some men said their girlfriends seemed to do less for them than they hoped.
"One year a girl got me a pair of boxers with hearts on them. That's all I've ever gotten besides phone calls and love notes," he said.
Chris Zachary, Baldwin freshman, said he had never received a big present on Valentine's Day.
Some women said their biggest complaint with Valentine's Day was a lack of originality from men. "I get so sick of getting flowers and candy and gifts like that," said Juliana Colby. Beloit senior
This reaction only seemed to apply to the traditional but perishable gifts of flowers and chocolates. Jewelry, also a common gift, drew no complaints.
"I remember in sixth grade my boyfriend got me a necklace," Colby said. "It was so sweet. I heard all his friends talking about going with him to pick it out."
According to Steffon Carlson, owner of McQueen Jewelers, 809 Massachusetts St., the advantage to gifts of jewelry was the timelessness.
"I think the wonderful thing about a gift of gold or diamonds is that you'll have it for the rest of your life," Carlson said. "Even if you don't continue to date or marry that person, you'll always have that gift to bring back good memories."
Carlson said that between 75 and 80 percent of the Valentine's Day customers were men and that the most popular gift for women was just about anything with a diamond.
"They don't have to be big diamonds." he said. "Small pendants and promise rings are very popular."

Valentine's Day Edition Students to spend holiday in Chicago
By Mike Hoffman
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Student Union Activities will be sponsoring a trip to Chicago this weekend for singles and couples.
The students will leave tomorrow morning and return Sunday night. The $189 fee includes airfare on Southwest Airlines and rooms at the Palmer House Hilton in downtown Chicago.

"It's the mission of SUA to offer affordable trips," said Liz Schneider, SUA recreation coordinator and Abilene junior. Schneider said that although the trip was near Valentine's Day, SUA encouraged singles as well as couples to join the trip.
"This is a chance to get away for the weekend and to go to a place that many people haven't been to." Schneider said. She said she wanted the trip to appeal to all University students.
The trip was advertised in early November and a total of 27 people are going, including an SUA advisor and representative.
Schneider said people would
probably split into their own groups to tour the city and see the sights, rather than one large group sticking together.
Maggie Beedles, Lawrence freshman, is going on the weekend trip with her boyfriend.
"It will be nice to spend a weekend with him in a place with neat surroundings," Beedles said. She also is looking forward to seeing a friend who lives in Chicago.

Unions sponsor holiday activities
By BriAnne Hess
By BriAnne Hess writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer
It's Valentine's Day. The day when loved ones are expected to dish out money to prove their devotion and single people are outsiders. The Kansas Union will offer a variety of services and activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today.
The annual Valentine's Day Open House, sponsored by Student Union Activities and the Kansas and Burge unions, has a variety of tables and activities for KU students, faculty and staff.
People who waited until the last minute to buy a Valentine's Day gift can stay out of the doghouse by buying something at the open house. Vendors will sell roses, balloons, personalized cookies and other Valentine's Day gifts for the late shopper.
This year's theme, "Mad About You," also will have free activities that include caricature drawings and card decorating. Students, faculty and staff can participate in a worst-date essay contest or grab a balloon shaped like a heart or an animal from the balloon-making man.
Free cake and punch also will be available.
Condom-grams also were available to send to that special someone. A letter and condom were enclosed in an envelope for the giver to pen his or her personal note and mail.
The Burge Union and Wescoe Terrace also will have Valentine's Day card-decorating tables where students can create their own personalized card.
STUDENTS LOOK FOR NOTHING IN THE PAPER.

Couples find new meaning for holiday
By Michael Sudhalter Kansan correspondent
Valentine's Day has taken on a new significance for some University of Kansas students who have tied the knot.
For newlyweds Chris Staggs, Hays senior, and Jenny Staggs, Billings, Mont., sophomore, Valentine's Day has turned into a dual holiday. The Staggs are celebrating this year's Valentine's Day in conjunction with their six-month anniversary.
"This Valentine's Day is more significant because we have more commitments to each other," said Chris Stags.
Last year, Jenny was out of town
on Valentine's Day, but the couple exchanged cards and baked cookies prior to the holiday. The Staggs had planned to build on those Valentine's Day traditions this year with dinner or a trip to Kansas City, but because of a other obligations, the couple has decided to celebrate Valentine's Day the weekend before.
"Friday is our date night, and we have made sure that we budget enough money to keep going on dates and keeping our relationship special," Chris said.
Jenny, who is expecting a baby in six months, agreed that she and her husband looked at the holiday differently now.
"Our relationship has grown so much since last Valentine's Day when we began dating," she said.
While many married students consider Valentine's Day important to their relationship, the feeling is not always unanimous.
Laura Tidwell, Lawrence junior, said she thought Valentine's Day had been replaced by her wedding anniversary as the couple's most significant holiday.
Tidwell and her husband, Scott,
have been married for six years
and have two young children. She
said that they had spent two
Valentine's Days together while
dating, but they hadn't kept that
tradition alive.
"Now that we are married, we don't feel as though we have to prove our love to each other," she said.
Tidwell said the couple still took time to exchange cards and small gifts, but the holiday could not measure up to their anniversary celebration. Tidwell said that as a family, it was important to get their children involved with the celebration of holidays.
"We try to do more stuff with the kids." she said.
However, Tidwell said this Valentine's Day she and her husband would leave their children with a babysitter when they went out to dinner.

VALENTINE'S DAY
Florists prepare to fill demand for flowers
By Jennifer Hall Kansan correspondent
They are the equivalent of eight CD's, one Dr. Martin shoe, 60 cheeseburgers, 12 movies or an insane amount of ramen noodles.
Many men find out that Valentine's Day roses can equal a lot of time spent at odd jobs or donating plasma, and many rush to flower shops to secure their orders of a dozen roses — an investment that averages about $50.
Although most flower shoppers grab their arrangements at the last minute, preparations for the Valentine's Day frenzy begins weeks in advance for many local florists.
"We are extremely busy," Cary Engle, owner of Englewood Florist, 1101 Massachusetts St., said. "We have already been working whole weeks."
Employees at Englewood Florist have been preparing since Christmas, and the store is now completely stocked, said Janis Figueira, designer at Englewood.
The shop employees anticipate February 14 to be the single busiest day of the year.
it's not all spread out. It's all in one day," she said. "This is because there are so many sweethearts at the University. We are expecting upwards of 800 deliveries on Valentine's Day."
In order to fill the demand, between 15 and 20 volunteers will join the store's four permanent delivery drivers. Figueira said that all employees would be putting in overtime. She expected to work about 15 hours on Monday.
Figueira said the most popular item is a dozen roses and that at least 80 percent of the orders fall into that category.
"We have 4,000 roses in every color," she said. "We just got 36 crates of flowers in today."
Carol Randel, co-owner of Owen's Flower Shop, 846 Indiana, said the days
LANGUAGE OF ROSES
■ red — love, respect and courage
**white** — reverence, humility, innocence,
writy, secrecy, and silence.
■ red and white or white roses with red edges
--- unity
- pink roses in general - grace and gentility
- yellow - invy and gladness
coral or orange — enthusiasm and desire
deep hungry — unconscious beauty
■ red and yellow blends — jovial and happy feelings
- feelings*
■ pale colors — sociability and friendship
rosebuds — beauty, youth and a heart innocent of love
red rosebuds — pure and lovely
■ white rosebuds — girlhood or "too young to love"
- a single rose — simplicity, in full bloom, it means "I love you"
- withered white roses have two meanings: fleeting beauty and "you made no impression"
- hybrid tea roses — "I'll remember you always"
- two roses taped or wired together to form a single stem signals an engagement or coming marriage.
A full blown rose placed over two buds form a combination that signifies secrecy.

A crown made of roses signifies reward or virtue.

before Valentine's Day run together as employees put in long hours preparing deliveries.
"We work late nights and come in early in the mornings days before," she said. "We will be open from 10 to 4 on Sunday, even though we are rarely open on Sundays."
Randel said the store already was starting Valentine's deliveries, and encouraged customers to place their orders soon.
"I urge people to order early," she said. "No one wants to get their Valentine's Day flowers on Tuesday."

Valentine's Day Edition
Long-distance lovers find ways to celebrate couple's holiday
By Brooke Hesler
Kansan correspondent
As many couples prepare for this Valentine's Day with flowers, candy and romantic dinners, Paul Robinson, Wichita freshman, will spend the day alone.
Robinson said this Feb. 14 would be different, because instead of seeing his girlfriend, he would have to settle for a phone call. But it isn't because she doesn't want to see him, it's because she lives too far away.
"It makes us value the time that we have together a lot more."
"I don't have a car, and the one that she has isn't reliable enough to get her here," Robinson said. "Valentine's Day is on a weeknight, and we both have school."
Jamie Bredahl
Robinson met his girlfriend, Danielle Perez, in high school and has tried to maintain the relationship during college. He said Perez still lived in Wichita where she attends college, and although they made the drive to visit each other several times a semester, the relationship had encountered rough spots.
"The hardest part is that after a while you start looking at other people," he said. "When your girlfriend is there, it's a physical reminder. She trusts me immensely."
Sabetha freshman
though, and I do have the will power not to cheat."
Jamie Bredahl, Sabetha freshman, said she met her boyfriend in high school and that he still lived in Sabetha. She said that this Valentine's Day the two planned to meet in Topeka to go to dinner together.
Bredahl said that it would be better if the two could see each other more, but long-distance relationships had their benefits, too.
"It makes us value the time that we have together a lot more," she said. "Because we don't have very much of it. We almost never argue."
Zia Uddin, Overland Park freshman, also said he planned to see his girlfriend on Valentine's Day. However, unlike Robinson and Bredahl, Uddin said he lived less than an hour away from his girlfriend.
"She's not that far away," he said. "I'm sure I'll see her on Valentine's. We'll probably go out to dinner."
Uddin said that he and his girlfriend had dated since winter break but that the relationship had already been trying.
"One of the hardest parts is having to say goodbye a lot more than you want to," he said. "The phone bill also gets expensive because I call her every night."
In his book, Loving your Long-Distance Relationship, Stephan Blake, relationship expert, states that e-mail is a good way to stay in touch with that special someone. He also points out that it's cheap.
Uddin said he tried to e-mail his girlfriend at least twice a week.
"It doesn't really matter because e-mail can't substitute for hearing her voice," he said.
Robinson said he hadn't regretted his decision to continue dating his girlfriend.
Some women take over Valentine's date planning
"She's just the nicest girl," he said. "She's very forgiving, and she just understands me. We can make fun of each other all the time. We have a unique way of showing our love."
By Carrie Nodgaard
Kansan correspondent
As Valentine's Day approaches, many students are dreaming of the perfect date. But for many, nothing romantic comes easy.
Rather than wait for their favorite guy to make Valentine's Day plans, some female students are taking matters into their own hands.
Ashley Shroyer, Sterling sophomore, said the best way to avoid disappointment was to take care of the details.
"Sometimes I feel the safest way to guarantee a nice evening is to plan it all myself," she said. "Guys try hard, but it's
impossible for them to know exactly what girls want. Girls are harder to please, but they also seem to have better judgment and taste when it comes to a perfect evening."
Shroyer said that it helped when women planned the dates because it showed the men what they wanted.
Yet not everyone thinks that letting women take control of the evening is the best way to make a perfect evening. Some think the guys should try harder.
Ryan Deo, Shawnee junior,
agrees that women should let
men know what they expect, but
men should plan the activities.
"In any relationship, it is traditional for the guy to be the leader. So it should be his responsibility to plan the date." Deo said.
"Sometimes I feel the safest way to guarantee a nice evening is to plan it myself."
Ashley Shroyer Sterling sophomore
"Sometimes finding out what women want takes more effort from the guy because girls are often apprehensive about opening up. They don't want to say anything that would hurt the
relationship. If both are open to honest communication, everything becomes much easier."
Kate Obermueller, Wichita sophomore, said she thought that romantic planning should be left to the men but that women shouldn't expect men to be hopeless romantics all of the time. She said that often the perfect date was not planned.
"Guy's are expected to be romantic year-round — on birthdays and holidays and just in general," she said. "It would be nice if girls took over the planning on Valentine's Day so a couple could do nice things for each other. However, the perfect date isn't something you do, it is being with someone you love."

Alfonso said he enjoyed their time together.
"My life with her in Spain was very happy because every hour, every minute, every second was better than every movie or story of love I have come across," he said.
After five weeks passed and Alfonso went home to Malaga, the couple continued to see each other. He drove to Granada or she took the train so they could be together.
"Spending more than two days apart seemed like forever, even though it was an hour away." Elyse said.
The time when she would be even farther away from him arrived in June when Elyse moved back to America.
It was difficult for them to be happy knowing they would soon be apart, she said. They talked about visiting, and he planned to travel to America in November.
"I was sad, but happy knowing the other half of my heart was coming in six months." Elyse said.
Alfonso felt the same way — which was why he sold his car, belongings and even his dog to find work in America and to be with Elyse.
His friends and family stood behind his decision, as did Elvse's parents.
"I was coming to a country that was a dream to all of my friends," Alfonso said.
However, Alfonso could speak only a few English words when he arrived.
"The Spanish and English dictionary has become a vital part of our daily lives," Elvy said.
Her Spanish improved, and she translated for Alfonso.
He stayed at her parents' house during winter break, painting rooms in the house as a way to repay her parents for food and housing. When the break ended, he wanted to move to Lawrence with Elyse.
But he had little money and no work visa, and attempts to obtain one failed.
"America makes it difficult to accept people from other countries," Alfonso said. He returned to Spain Fob 2.
Elyse will meet him there in June, but she does not know how long she will stay.
"I have never felt more complete in my entire life," Elyse said. "When I met him, I found myself in him. We both found ourselves in each other — our wants, our needs
and that is why we are fighting the cultural barriers to go beyond the expected. We found ourselves in Spain."

Rosie is phone friend on ABC's Millionaire
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — After waging a public campaign to be a "phone friend" on ABC's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, talk show host Rosie O'Donnell got her wish.
She was called upon for help on Sunday's edition of the quiz show, by a contestant using a "lifeline" to get advice answering a question.
O'Donnell and ABC were tight-lipped yesterday about who O'Donnell helped, what the question was or even if she got it right.
But she'd be less likely to brag about it — as she did to talk show guest Matt Lauer yesterday — if she gave a contestant abum steer. She told Lauer that she was called the night before when the show was taped, then promptly refused to answer his questions about it.
"Let me just say I was nervous, and it's a lot more tension than people realize," O'Donnell said.
As game show viewers know, contestants get three lifelines if they are stumped by a multiple choice question. They can poll the audience,
have two wrong answers taken out of contention, or call a friend. The friend has 30 seconds to offer advice.
On her own show, the Millionaire-fixated O'Donnell frequently has asked for the opportunity to help out. Contestants had arranged for O'Donnell to be a phone friend four times before she got on the air during Tuesday's taping, said her representative, Jennifer Glasek.
O'Donnell's campaign hasn't always gone smoothly, though. The New York Post reported this week that several Millionaire contestants had asked for her help and hadn't gotten a reply.
The Post called her a phone-friend phony.
Glasek said O'Donnell had gotten so many requests that she'd been unable to respond to them all. She was also rejected once because she wanted to be reached by cell phone and the show's rules don't allow this, ABC said.
O'Donnell's new friend gets a bonus for calling her. The contestant will be a guest on her talk show Monday.
Hurricane creates storm of controversy
The Associated Press
PATERSON, N.J. — Barbara Burns watched her mother die from gunshots 34 years ago, wounds delivered as she cowered in the corner of a Paterson bar.
Burns says she now sees the killer glorified every day.
For the cost of a movie ticket, Burns can watch the events surrounding her mother's slaying in The Hurricane, an award-winning film playing in movie theaters nationwide.
Burns and other victims' relatives said Tuesday that Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, the middleweight boxer twice convicted of the killings and later freed, is a murderer whose life story is skewed to make him look saintly in the film.
"They fabricated the facts to make money and made a hero out of a cold-blooded murderer," said Burns, the daughter of Hazel Tanis, one of three people shot inside the Lafayette Bar & Grill.
Tom Vicedomini, the grandson of victim Fred Nauyoks, said that Carter has continued to mask the truth and elicit sympathy as well as a profitable living off the blood of their loved ones.
Carter and John Artis were convicted a year after the 1966 killings of bartender Jim Oliver and patrons Tanis and Nauyoks. Their convictions were overturned in 1975, but both were found guilty a second time in 1976.
A federal judge freed Carter in 1985, ruling that prosecutors improperly presented an argument that he was out for racial revenge in the killings. Prosecutors decided not to retry him after the decision was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
the criticism from victims' relatives is the latest development in a storm of controversy surrounding the film, which was released nationwide last month and won a Golden Globe for Denzel Washington's portrayal of Carter.
The film's backers admit to changing some details to keep the movie a manageable length, but the producers have taken out ads in Hollywood trade publication to refute allegations of bias.
Lawyers for Carter and Artis also planned a news conference in New York today to defend the film.
"The movie is 100 percent correct in showing these people as being innocent," said Leon Friedman, one of their attorneys.
Victims' relatives pointed out that no court has ruled that Carter was innocent. They said the film ignored statements by eyewitnesses that Carter's car was at the scene and contained bullets from the murder weapon.
- Paul Wice, a Drew University professor who has written a book about the case, said authorities never positively concluded that the bullets came from the murder weapon. Some eyewitness testimony also was later recanted.
Another sore spot is the film's fictional police officer Vincent Della Pesca, who fabricated evidence to convict Carter.
James DeSimone, whose father, Detective Vincent DeSimone, was a chief investigator in the case, said he believed the character was loosely based on his father — a portrayal he called offensive.
Former New York Times reporter Selwyn Raab, who reported on the overturning of Carter's first conviction, also criticized the creation of Della Pesca.
"The discrepancy between the 'true story' and what is seen on screen raises questions about
how Hollywood presents actual events and the liberties taken with the truth," Raab wrote in December.
Wice said the film's creation of Della Pesca was silly and the film wrongly implied that Carter was jailed as an adult for juvenile crimes, when in fact he was convicted of several muggings.
"They just screwed up so many things," Wice said.
Rudy Langlais, the film's executive producer, said Tuesday that the racist detective character was meant to represent a number of law enforcement officials. He also said the film used voiceovers from Carter's autobiography to explore his darker side.
"We acknowledge in his voice that his childhood had produced a very rough, angry, hateful man that was later to undergo a transformation." he said.
He added, "That does not mean that Rubin Carter committed murder."
Meanwhile, relatives say the movie has reopened wounds.
Carter, who lives in Toronto, was on a speaking tour and unavailable for comment, a representative said Tuesday.
They were particularly offended when Washington, accepting his Golden Globe award with Carter at his side, said "This man right here is love, he's all love."
The families also were angered by a recent interview Carter did with a Toronto TV station, in which he said that he can't be sure the three murders ever occurred.
"The worst part for me is the influence it has on the young people ... who look at him as a hero," said Burns, 55. "I think the real truth would be much more interesting."

Valentine's Day Edition Judge prohibits Canadian TV Web site from using American shows
The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — A Canadian Web site has been ordered to stop picking up shows from U.S. television stations and rebroadcasting them live to U.S. viewers on the Internet.
Ten motion picture studios, four networks, the National Football League and the National Basketball Association persuaded a federal judge Tuesday to issue a preliminary injunction against Torontobased iCraveTV.
U. S. District Judge Donald Ziegler made the ruling even though iCraveTV has been off the air since he issued a temporary restraining order Jan. 28 and Web site officials have promised to install better security to ensure most American viewers cannot access the live feed.
William Craig, the site's founder, said he will continue to negotiate toward a settlement.
"At the same time, we are working hard on enhancing our online security mechanisms, which the U.S. District Court has
The sports leagues, motion picture studios and TV networks see the case as a test against copyright infringements via the Internet and a battle for control of their programming, which commands huge advertising dollars. Before it was turned off, viewers to the iCraveTV would see advertisements sold by the site in a frame surrounding the live broadcast.
expressed a willingness to reevaluate in 90 days," Craig said Tuesday.
The case was filed in Pittsburgh because Craig registered the Web site's domain
name in the suburb of Sewickley, where he used to live.
The site opened in November, under the premise that Canadian law allowed it to capture programming from stations in Toronto and Buffalo, N.Y., and rebroadcast them live on the Internet. Craig has said it was never his intention that the programs would be seen in the United States.
But the plaintiffs said Craig's security was so inadequate that it appeared he was soliciting American viewers and advertising dollars.
Ian McCallum, a vice president for IcraveTV, said security measures eventually will screen out U.S. users but could still be broken by a few hackers. He said the system would meet industry standards.
Mark Litvack, director of legal affairs for the Motion Picture Association of America, said that doesn't provide enough assurance that copyright laws won't be infringed upon.
"There is no acceptable industry standard for piracy," he said.

Romantic escapade gets baby sitter arrested
WATERBURY, Conn. — An 18-year-old baby sitter was arrested after authorities found her five young charges unattended, and the woman naked in a closet with her boyfriend.
oddities
Three of the children, who ranged in age from 2 months to 13 years old, were wearing nothing more than soiled diapers, police said.
The baby sitter, Angelica Cartegena, faces three counts of risk of injury to a minor, police said. The mother of the three youngest children, Maria Ruiz, 18, faces similar charges.
A truant officer went to the apartment February 8 after one of the children, a 10-year-old boy, didn't show up for school, police said.
Man offers reward for his perfect mate
MEDIA. Pa. — Know a woman who enjoys go-cart racing, learning about Russian culture and protecting animals?
If she turns out to be the perfect mate for 34-year-old Ed Ryder, he'll pay at least $25,000 to the matchmaker.
"I'm not at all lonely. I am not at all unhappy. I am not at all desperate. I am merely unfulfilled," Ryder said. "I hope to be married by the end of the year."
The suburban Philadelphia native launched his search last month with a Web site (www.searchingforher.com) seeking help to find his special woman.
The seven-page Web site — including fastidious details about his hobbies and childhood — said Ryder will
pay a matchmaker $25,000 to $100,000, depending on Ryder's stock portfolio. Ryder will pay out if he gets into a satisfying committed relationship or if his dream lady marries him.
Ryder, a free-lance copy editor, decided to make the romantic appeal in cyberspace after what he describes as a 10-year dry spell in his love life.
Woman delivers baby, husband declines pizzas
MONROE, Mich. — Amy Janssen didn't suspect anything amiss when she began experiencing cramps and
Then the astonishing happened:
While in the tub Feb. 4, Amy Janssen delivered a baby girl. She didn't even know she was pregnant.
had to lie down. When she took a bath about three hours later, the cramps worsened.
"When the baby came, I called my husband," Janssen, 32, said Saturday while resting in Mercy Memorial Hospital. "I think [he] was more shocked than I was."
Tim Janssen agreed. "It was quite an ordeal. When I walked in, she was holding a baby, and I knew something was wrong," he said. "I thought she had put on a little weight with the holidays."
Janssen sent his 8-year-old son from a previous marriage to get his uncle and called 911. "I told the operator 'there's a baby that's born in our house.' I'm sure it didn't make much sense," he said.
The ambulance arrived just after the fire trucks arrived, followed by a delivery man from Gino's Pizza & Sub Station. The couple had forgotten they had ordered pizza.
"I told him he had to leave. He
looked at me and couldn't understand why I didn't want the pizzas," Janssen said.
The baby, the couple's first child,
weighed 4 pounds, 3 ounces, measured
17.5 inches long and arrived
about seven weeks early.
Stolen toilets lead to Florida man's arrest
CEDAR GROVE, Fla. — A man has been charged with stealing four portable toilets after his managers thought his alibi stank.
Managers at Hall Septic Tank Service began sniffing around and found the missing potties hidden behind a store at nearby Panama City Beach before reporting the matter to police.
Cedar Grove police on Sunday arrested Timothy Dale Hardenbrook, 33, of neighboring Springfield and charged him with grand theft of cash, checks and the toilets.
He was released on bond Tuesday. Hardenbrook, who drove a truck for Hall Septic Tank Service, is accused of asking customers to pay for the toilets in cash or with checks made out to him and then keeping part of the money.
Woman has her ashes blasted into the sky
FAIRFIELD, Iowa — Carol Dillman wanted to go out with a bang — and she did.
The 54-year-old Fairfield woman, who died of cancer Jan. 5, had her wish granted Feb. 6, when her ashes were blasted into the southern Iowa sky in a brief, but deafening, fireworks show.
"We do about 75 percent of the big fireworks shows in Iowa and work in about 20 states," said fireworks expert Mark Johnson, of J&M Displays of Yarmouth. "We've heard of people saying they wanted to do this, but never have actually had anybody go through with it, until now."
"She told us she wanted to go out with a bang," said Shirley Rigler, Dillman's daughter.

KANSAS Legislature
Kansas nudists fight for the right to live au naturel
By Katrina Hull
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
TOPEKA — Nudists are like everyone else — except without clothes.
That's what nudists told the House Local Government Committee yesterday when testifying against a proposed law that would call nudity a nuisance and punish nakedness with a $25,000 fine.
The proposal targeted Lake Edun, a mudist camp near Topeka, where constituents asked State Rep. Cindy Hermes, R-Topeka, to help close the camp. The law also targeted nudity in general, said Lake Edun owner and Topeka businessman Webb Garlinghouse.
The wording of the bill aimed to prohibit not only nudist colonies, but nudity in front of anyone but a spouse or medical doctor
"The way I read it, if a boyfriend and girlfriend end up in bed engaging in sex, that would be against this law," Garlinghouse said. "My problem with the bill is that it interferes with personal freedom and personal choice."
Naked-person sightings and other hasles prompted nudist camp neighbor Toni Growhard to testify.
"If I had known this was around, I wouldn't have built there." she said.
Growhard built her home near Lake Edun in 1995 long after Garlinghouse established his 60-acre camp in 1983.
Only three people spoke in favor of the proposal, while nudists — also called naturalists — from across the state defended their right to a clothing-optional lifestyle.
Julie Dailey, president of Heartland Naturalists, said that becoming a naturalist enhanced her self-esteem and that
Kansas has other nudist camps in addition to Lake Edun including Prairie Haven near Topeka, Sandy Lane Club near Hutchinson and Heartland Naturalists in Shawnee Mission.

Towed away
Multiple parking tickets lead to impounded cars
By Sara Shepherd writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Finding bright pink envelopes glaring from under the windshield wipers of her car is nothing new for Adrienne Dopf, Lenexa senior. She has been ticketed five times this year for parking on campus without a permit.
The citations added up. Dopf still didn't pay them.
BMW
And finally last week, she returned to something even worse than a $20 ticket after parking illegally on campus —her car was gone.
Dopf is one of many disgruntled drivers whose cars have been dragged away from campus by tow trucks.
"People just aren't real happy when they realize their car's been hauled off"
Kenneth Mather, owner of Quality Towing, 1146 Haskell Ave., estimated his company had towed 100 cars from campus each month during the two and one-half years the University of Kansas Parking Department contracted with his
company.
Michelle Moon, office manager at A&M Towing and Recovery, 501 Maple St., which started its contract with the University just last week, said the number of vehicles A&M towed from campus ranged from two to 10 per day.

office manager
"It just really varies on who's parked where," Moon said.
Representatives from the parking department could not be reached for comment yesterday.
According to department policy, any vehicle registered to an owner with three or more unpaid parking violations may be towed at any time from anywhere on campus. Also, vehicles may be towed at any time if they interfere with the efficient operation of traffic or parking on campus.
NO PARKING ANY TIME
Not surprisingly, the sight of a tow truck often makes tempers flare.
Moon said A&M Towing often received calls from angry car owners.
"People just aren't real happy when they realize their car's been hauled off," Moon said.
Moon said representatives from the parking department were present at all on-campus tows to deal with irate parking violators.
"When we have a violent customer on campus, we don't have to deal with them," she said.
we don't have to ask much more. However, Moon said most people — like Dopf — realized what they did wrong and why their car was towed.
"I was mad," Dopf said. "But I knew I was in the wrong by parking there. It was just frustrating."
Dopf said she got her car back after paying $100

in outstanding parking tickets plus a $40 towing fee. She said that explanations of the towing process were in fine print at the very bottom of the backside of parking tickets and that the parking department kept track of people with unpaid violations.
"They track where you park, and they seek you out," Dopf said. "I just don't like the way they do it." Dopf said.

Graduate student killed in Feb. 3 car accident
A 24-year-old KU student was killed Feb. 3 on Interstate 470 in southwest Topeka when his car collided head-on with a car being driven in the wrong lane by a Seneca man, Topeka police said.
Naveen P. Engoor, a Topeka resident originally from Bombay, India, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, Lt. John Sidwell said.
Tom Garber, 23, the driver of the car that collided with Engoor's vehicle, was transported to St. Francis Hospital in Topeka with critical injuries. There are indications that alcohol was involved in the accident, but test results have not yet been released.
Engoor's body was flown back to India, where a Hindu ceremony was held in Kerala by his parents.
Engoor was a graduate student in the engineering management program at the University's Edwards Campus in Overland Park, said Jane Tuttle, assistant to the dean of students.
He graduated in May 1992 from Birla Institute of Technology in Ranchi, Bihar, India, with a bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering. Before coming to the United States, he had worked as a program analyst. Since October 1998, he had worked as a software consultant for Social Rehabilitation Services in Topeka.
Naveen was admitted to the engineering management program in Fall 1999. Faculty and staff in the department said he was an enthusiastic and dedicated student.

'Singled Out' contest at Visitor Center tonight
A "Singled Out" contest in celebration of Valentine's Day will be at the KU Visitor Center tonight from 6 to 7.
The contest, to which the Lewis Hall government is playing host, is open to all students. The first 50 to arrive will be eligible to win a date with one of two Lewis residents.
Joni Koehler, Lewis public relations officer, said the event would be set up much like the MTV show.
Potential contestants should arrive at Lewis at 5:30. The dates, which are also sponsored by the hall government, will be on Saturday, Feb. 12.
Female sexuality to be focus of Hashinger play
The Vagina Monologues, a play about women's sexuality, will be performed on Sunday at 4 p.m. in the Hashinger Hall Theater.
Julie DePauw, St. Louis sophomore and the play's coordinator, said the title of the play had special significance.
"Saying the word is accepting a real part of you," DePauw said. "It says you are a woman and you are not going to be taken advantage of."
The play is based on a book of the same name by Eve Ensler, who interviewed a diverse group of women about their vinasnas. DePauw said.
Nine women and two men will present the play, which is free to the public.

'Ernest' actor Jim Varney dies of lung cancer at 50
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jim Varney, the rubber-backed comic who portrayed his rube character "Ernest" from hundreds of television commercials to a series of movies, died yesterday. He was 50.
Varney died of lung cancer at his home in White House, Tenn., about 20 miles north of Nashville, his attory Noot Hool Gibson said.
Varney became a cult figure in the 1980s in a series of regional commercials, portraying Ernest P. Worrell, a know-it-all good of "boy whose best-known phrase was "Know-what-Imean?" and who addressed a character known as "Vern."
"Ernest is a neighbor or relative that we've all had at one time," he once said. "He's abrasive, but he doesn't mean to be. He gets excited and ends up standing on your toes. I try to make him clownish and I don't want him too low key; and he's physically funny."
In the commercials, he got his fingers slammed in a house window, fell on a ladder and got electrically shocked fooling with a broken TV set.
Michael Jordan to back Bradley in political ad
WASHINGTON — His airness Michael Jordan, the most marketable athlete to ever pitch a product, is trying to give Bill Bradley a lift in his first political endorsement ad. It's also a test of whether Jordan can pitch politics.
1
Bradley, a former New York Knicks star, already has collected endorsements and cash from his basketball buddies. But the new Jordan ad may be the most prized dividend from his days on the court as he seeks the Democratic nomination for president.
Jordan: Doing his first political endorsement ad
Jordan, who retired from the Chicago Bulls as a superstar, takes in some $69 million each year selling sneakers, soft drinks, cologne and undenwear. He stars in ads for long-distance phone companies, batteries and hot dogs. If Bradley had to pay market rate for his services, he couldn't afford them.
But Jordan and Bradley are friends, and that persuaded the sports icon to make the ad, a Bradley's representative said.

Cuban boy's relatives criticized for drinking
HAVANA — A senior Cuban official said 6year-old Elian Gonzalez was surrounded by drunks after it was revealed that two of the boy's great uncles have been convicted of driving under the influence.
Ricardo Alarcón, head of Cuba's National Assembly and Fidel Castro's key man for U.S.-Cuba relations, said Wednesday the convictions proved the uncles' Miami home was no place for Elian — the boy at the center of an international custody battle pitting Castro's government against Cuban exiles in Miami.
"Practically everyone surrounding him either has been, or may be in the future, joining the prison system in the U.S.," Alaron told reporters in Havana. "That's not the best interest of the child."
He said Elian was surrounded by two drunks.
Florida state records show Lazaro Gonzalez, 49, with whom Elian has been living in Miami, was found guilty of driving under the influence at least twice from 1991 to 1997.
Armando Gutierrez, a representative for the Miami relatives, dismissed the criticism.
Records show his 62-year-old brother, Delfin Gonzalez, also has been found guilty at least twice of driving under the influence.

Neighbors fight to ban nudity
people had to try hard to mislead in it.
"They are afraid, and they think we are sexual deviants," Dalley said. "Before I became a naturalist, I didn't understand it either."
Continued from page 1A
people had to try naturalism to understand it.
Whether government can regulate the practice of naturalists depends on if nudity is considered speech or conduct, said Richard Levy, professor of constitutional law. The government is more likely to regulate conduct than speech.
"There's not a clear authority on this issue, and there's a lot of difficult questions," Levy said.
But legislators may not have to deal with the difficult questions. State Rep. Kay O'Connor, R-Olathe and committee vice-chairwoman, said yesterday's hearing on the bill probably would be the last of the issue. Most likely the bill will die in the committee.
For nudists, the hearing provided them with an opportunity to educate others on the naturalist way of life. Garlinghouse said.
ON THE RECORD

Student Senate to finance student poll
By Erint R. Barcumb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students could get the chance to tell their Student Senate representatives what's on their minds.
But don't call them; they might be calling you.
A bill to finance a comprehensive student telephone survey passed the Senate Finance Committee Wednesday night.
"National politicians have polls they run every single day," said Ben Walker, legislative director and the bill's sponsor. "We need to have scientific method to do this."
Korb Maxwell, student body president, said the professional survey would be used to see what students wanted.
Walker said the survey would be conducted by the University of Kansas Institute for Public Policy and Business Research.
"The point of this is, we say all the time, "We know what students want," Maxwell said. "But we actually have no idea what students want."
Maxwell said that aside from public opinion, the poll would ask students other questions, such as whether or not they voted.
The surveys would guide Senate to work on what students are interested in, Maxwell said. Although Senate tries to be non-partisan, the surveys could be considered in directing this spring's campaigns, he said.
Anna Deaverne Smith speaks with an audience member after her performance at the Lied Center last night. Smith illustrated important issues in her
"It's not a bad thing." Maxwell said. "I think it'a good thing."
Maxwell said the surveys ideally would be conducted late this month, and he said the results would be in by early March.
Chris Horak, director of the survey center at the IPBRR, said each survey was different and varied between clients.
The bill, which will go before Senate Wednesday, asks for $2,000 from the unallocated account. To cover the project's $5,700 cost, additional sources — including the Transportation Board, the Student Legislative Awareness Board and the Division of Students Affairs — have provided the remaining funds.
Presentation personalizes social issues
Actor/playwright is half lecturer, half performer
Bv Rvan Blethen
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
An elderly Hispanic-American man and a Jewish woman were two of several characters played by one woman last night at the Lied Center.
Actor and playwright Anna Deaverne Smith performed "Snapshots: Glimpses of America in Change" in front of about 300 people in what she called a lecture-performance.
Smith warned the crowd that the show would be more than just a performance.
"I'm going to be moving back and forth from acting to speaking." she said.
In her lecture-performance, Smith used the exact words of the people she had interviewed. Each character was used to impress upon the crowd a slice of American society and how people see things differently.
In a loud, gravely voice, Smith's first character talked about defining moments in history.
She then assumed the character of a woman she called Aunt Verna, who recounted World War II and her Japanese handyman who was sent to an internment camp.
Smith told of a Japanese girl who burst into tears because Verna did not feel outrage when he was imprisoned. Half the people sided with Verna and half with the Japanese girl. Smith said.
Smith did not say that either was wrong.
Another theme Smith explored was people's waning sensitivity.
"I was confused how the conversation dissolved into sides," she said. "I'm worried that the time we're entering into will allow us to see more than we want to see."
"The challenge," Smith said, "is for us to stay outside what I call our safe houses of identity."

Although 'Smith's lecture and presentation dealt with weighty subjects such as race
and differences among Americans' perceptions, she kept the crowd laughing most of the time.
Kate Hazelwood, Salina sophomore, said she came because she had seen one of Smith's plays in her Introduction to Drama class.
I'm just curious to see her
in person " Hazelwood said.
Jamie Tucker, Parsons senior, went to see Smith because she had seen her on The Arsenio Hall Show during the Los Angeles riots in 1992. She said she had been impressed with Smith's performance the first time she saw her.
"I was totally freaked out by the transitions she made," Tucker said. "She's still way intense."
Smith was brought to the University of Kansas for the Millennium Series, sponsored by the Hall Center for the Humanities. Her speaker's fee was privately financed.
Union to deliver Mail Boxes Etc.
Store to provide shipping storage, copying services
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students wanting to send packages, store packages, box packages, et cetera soon will be able to go to the Kansas Union.
Mail Boxes Etc. will open on the fourth floor of the Union Monday.
"We've been asked by the campus community for some time to do something like this," said Eric Crop, owner of the Union's store and an existing store at 3514 Clinton Parkway. "We've been working for years on this."
The site will have the same capabilities
as other MBE stores on a smaller scale. Crop said, including traditional shipping, packaging and copying services. The prices also will be the same.
The opportunity for MBE to open in the Union came after University Duplication Services left the Union last summer, said Pat Beard, manager of building services.
"When they left, it left a void we felt that needed to be filled," he said. "We really do feel like it is something that the students will use. They have the copying facilities and all the other services they offer are icing on the cake for students."
MBE also is thinking about acting as a storage facility for students during the summer, Crop said. It would set up temporary stations at the end of the semester at the Burge Union and residence halls to allow students easier access to send items home and could hold items in storage, too.
Many students seemed to agree.
"If I had to ship something home, I would use it," Brad Lewis, Hutchinson freshman said.
"They do it at other universities and it
marks wonderful work." Cron said.
Rates for storing boxes have not been determined vet. Crop said.
A contract was signed in late December after the University put out a request for proposals.
MBE was the only group that responded, Beard said.
rte said MBE would pay $1,094 monthly and 1 percent of sales in excess of $27,000.
He said that the $27,000 figure was decided upon because that was what MBE needed to earn to break even after the cost of installing the store.
The two-year contract is renewable for up to 10 years, he said.

World progress halted by creation of PONG
Video games improve coordination,but probably crashed Skylab
D despite the amount of progress we've made, as a society we're dumber than we used to be. I know what a lot of you are thinking.And yes.I too would
rather be reading the finest in hard-core
pornography, but we make sacrifices.
Additionally, I'm sure many are thinking,
"But Nick, back in the old days, people dropped out of school in the first grade.
How society dumb be?"
My answer is that while people did finish their educations earlier than we do now, they were smart enough to accomplish things in their life. I could attribute this fact to a higher sense of responsibility, but I'd rather blame video games.
If you look at America's past, you'll see that we've been capable of great accomplishments. We pulled our act together and won World War II. We played catch-up to the Russians and made it to the moon first. We fought against the British Invasion and brought on a new age of bad 708 rock. You get my point.
But in the late 70s, things began to change. The introduction of PONG set
back the world.
What worthwhile task has anyone done since video games revolutionized the world? We don't send astronauts to the moon anymore.
We're kind of taking a risk to build another space station after Skylab crashed while the guy in charge of it was playing Ms. PacMan.
The most impressive ac complishment we've made since PONG is the introduction of more impressive games. The Nintendo 64 sitting in my room has more computing power than

the rocket on which we sent men to the moon.
Even computers are becoming more impressive for games. The Pentium III is powerful enough to be considered a supercomputer and was initially barred from
export for that reason.
People aren't buying these computers for up-to-date word processing programs or the best Web browser. I can run those programs on my old-as-dirt Pentium-90. The programs I can't run are the top-of-the-line games.
And while people in this society are better educated, they are somewhat dumber anyway.
I have 17 years of education. One would think that I'm a man of sophistication. So let's look at an average night for me.
My planned schedule for the night: Finish reading some material for a class, surf the Internet for some information, work on some grad school application stuff, find the cure for cancer if I have a spare moment and to bed with a sense of accomplishment.
What I did that night: Played Wrestelmania 2000 on the N64 until I was too tired.

that's the lie people who play video games are meant to tell their parents. Oddly, despite the years of hand-eye coordination practice, I'm not able to consistently catch a ball. You'd think that would be the real world application of good hand-eye coordination.I don't know. I suppose the greatest

Hillary's candidacy to invigorate race for New York's Senate seat
Like it or not, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton officially has declared her candidacy for the U.S. Senate and has become the first U.S. president's wife to seek political office.
Even though many people question Clinton's motives and the fact that she is not from New York, her candidacy will shine a spotlight on the state's Senate race.
Many criticize the fact that she is from Illinois, has lived in Arkansas and Washington D.C. — following her husband — and has never lived in New York. Her opponent, Republican New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, will bring attention to the fact that he was born and raised in New York and that Clinton is an "outsider." Despite being por-
Clinton's legitimate declaration will shine spotlight on the state's November election
received by this race could rival the simultaneous presidential campaign.
trayed as such, however, Clinton is not breaking any laws or setting new precedent with her candidacy. Robert Kennedy, for example, moved to New York in 1964 to run for a Senate seat, which he ended up winning.
The campaign between Giuliani and Clinton should provide good fodder for pundits and voters during the next few months. Both candidates have made personal attacks at each other on national TV and have hit the talk show circuit. The staggering amount of media attention
Polls indicate that Clinton and Giuliani are running neck and neck, with Giuliani pulling just slightly ahead. But in typical Clinton fashion, Hillary's campaign already has been clouded with some controversy. Giuliani has claimed that Clinton had taken 50 or 60 trips around the country using taxpayer money.
These allegations may be just that allegations. However, it is hoped that Clinton is running a clean, legitimate campaign within the scope of the law and campaign ethics.
In the end, it's all up to the voters of New York. But until then, all of us can sit back and enjoy the race.

Death penalty should be suspended
Kansas and the other 36 states where the death penalty is legal should take heed of Illinois Gov. George Ryan's moratorium on capital punishment. These states should follow in Illinois' footsteps. Capital punishment certainly is
Capital punishment certainly is an institution that needs close study and reform.
The fatal flaw of capital punishment is that innocent people too often are in jeopardy of the death penalty. A Tufts University study found that in the last century, 350 people were convicted of murder and later found to be innocent. In 23 of these cases, innocent people were executed.
But guilt or innocence isn't the only issue. Overt racism and class discrimination are not nearly as dangerous as subconscious preju
Capital punishment needs reform to prevent execution of innocent people
dice. Minority defendants and the economically disadvantaged do not have access to adequate legal defense, nor are they provided proper council during pretrial investigations. As a result, they are more likely to be found guilty and sentenced to the death penalty.
Inexperienced public defenders often soft-peddie their defense of a clients' innocence in order to get leniency during the sentencing stage. Absent the death penalty, defense attorneys could better defend their clients.
The legal system itself is the greatest problem. In many capital cases, juries are charged with determining the guilt or innocence of the accused as well as the punishment. Often these instructions are confusing.
Even if a criminal deserves the death penalty, nothing can redress the injustice of executing an innocent person. No conviction of any criminal is certain when the system puts such high burdens on the defense.
The Illinois moratorium is the best course of action at this time. As long as the current system prevails, it is likely that many people will be treated unfairly by the criminal justice system. We should suspend the death penalty immediately and study these problems.

Feedback
I would like to applaud the KU athletic department, in particular the person whose idea it was to take down the old, spray-painted, ratty sheet telling the visiting teams to "Beware of the Phog" and replace it with a slick, smaller, plastic banner.
If you have general questions or comments, e-mail the page staff (opinionk@ansan.com) or call 864-4924.
Fieldhouse changes destroy tradition
This is a great idea. Kansas fans have devoted too much energy into cheering for a sports team. I hope that their next decision will be to tear down the ancient Fieldhouse and replace it with a much larger, more airy (and, hopefully, quieter) arena. It's time for tradition to step aside and to make way for modernization.
In addition to this progress, I ask that the architects who will soon be hired for that job listen to a few of my suggestions. They should make the student section smaller to give more seats to the season ticket holders, who, after all, do pay much more to attend the games. The smaller student section should then be placed high up in the rafters so that its noise and horrible tendency to stand throughout the entire game won't be as much of a nuisance. Perhaps students could also serve the elder attendees a meal during the course of the game. I've heard that wine and cheese is a tasty combination.

Chalmers' actions prevented chaos
Seth Hoffman's column about former Chancellor Larry Chalmers in the Feb. 4 Kansan brought back some vivid memories for me. At the time, I was the psychiatrist for what was then called the Mental Health Clinic in the Student Health Service at Watkins Hospital.
Events on the campus and in Lawrence seemed to threaten the existence of the University. If Larry Chalmers had acted in the authoritarian way that many influential and powerful people in Lawrence and Topeka wanted him to, the disturbances would have escalated and probably would have resulted in more violence.
The convocation at Memorial Stadium was a masterful piece of strategy, in my opinion. The chancellor was criticized by some people for taking this action. Chaos could have erupted among those 15,000 people, mostly students, but the meeting proceeded with minimum disturbance.
I think Larry Chalmers should be regarded as a hero by all of us who love the University of Kansas.
After that day, the atmosphere on campus quieted down. By the time classes resumed for the summer session and fall term of 1970, it was possible to carry on peacefully the business of education and learning, which is the function of a university.

Recreation center will harm neighbors
I agree with Caleb Morse's objections to the recreation center project (Feb. 2 Feedback).
To re-quote the University of Kansas: "Continual cooperation and communication with representatives of neighborhood groups should be the rule. The protection and preservation of surrounding neighborhoods is in the University's interest." Really? University Place
Really? University Place must be the exception.
In the Jan. 27 recreation center article, Warren Corman said, "We try to be good neighbors," but follows with hypocritical philosophy and immature rudeness ("None of their damn business.") Corman's flippancy is my thanks for spending five years working at and attending the University, donating to the University, and pumping up visitors on the greatness of University.
Meanwhile, University Place's streets are packed with cars daily and are overrun on game nights. Our basements are segyg, and our yards are full of trash. We've stood by with little complaint (considering the toll on our properties) because we love our neighborhood and the University, (Many alumni, staff and faculty live here).
The lawn south of Watkins Memorial Health Center, besides providing space for sports, has given visual and psychological space to residents of a historic neighborhood. Continued building on the University's south side will have an impact, and because University Place lies below the campus, it will bear the brunt.
Burgeoning development on Lawrence's west side assures that a West Campus recreation center will serve a growing student population. Doesn't it make sense to expand where there's room?
However, as Corman so elegantly says, voicing concerns is none of our "damn
business," so the next time the University calls me asking for money, I know exactly what I'll say.

Southworth claim is constitutional
I am writing in response to the Feb. 9 opinion column regarding the Supreme Court's upcoming decision in University of Wisconsin v. Southworth.
Nadia Mustafa argues that college is all about learning new and varied ideas and that students don't have time to raise funds. However, she failed to mention that 70 percent of private student groups at Wisconsin never apply for funding and that they seem to be able to promote their message just fine.
More importantly, Ms. Mustafa fails to point out that the money given to Wisconsin organizations was not being spent on campus activities, but rather was being used to funnel money to political groups. The Senate gave money to various groups for activities unrelated to any educational goal.
Campus Women's Center got $34,200 for its newsletter to promote its pro-abortion stance. Wisconsin Greens got $6,905 to lobby the Wisconsin legislature and to distribute literature for the Green Party. Ten Percent Society received funding for its Internet home page to advocate same-sex marriages.
These things have nothing to do with getting a college degree, and people who don't condone gay marriages, abortion and the green movement should not be forced to pay for their advancement. Generally, there is a First Amendment right to maintain whatever position one likes, but "there is no right to have speech subsidized by the Government" (Federal Election Commission 479 U.S. 238).
Finally, I suggest you look more closely at Rosenberger. Justice O'Connor strongly suggested that "although the question is not presented here, I note the possibility that the student fee is susceptible to a Free Speech Clause challenge by an objecting student that she should not be compelled to pay for speech with which she disagrees." This statement by O'Connor is the basis for Southworth's case and contrary to Ms. Mustafa's statement. The case will not need to be overruled, but will in fact be relied upon for a decision in Southworth's favor. Simply stated, the law favors Mr. Southworth, and rightfully so.

However, a Student Senate rule states that the Senate cannot give money to anything primarily religious in nature. The Senate would have had to suspend the rule for the bill to pass. Although the committee voted 16-11 to suspend the rule, the bill failed by a clear majority in a verbal vote.
Luke Pfannenstiel, liberal arts and
sciences senator, said that to fund a group with "Christian" in its name would set a bad precedent for Senate.
"I don't object to the speaker, and I think the public and the students have a right to hear both sides," Pfannenstiel said. "I do have an issue with the name of the group attached."
Erin Day, Nunemaker senator,
said she thought this was the appropriate time for Senate to draw the line.
"I think this is black and white," Day said. "This is a religious organization, and they are asking us for money."
Dede Seibel, student body vice president, said that the Senate three years ago funded a speaker for Holocaust Awareness Week through KU Hillel, an organization for Jewish students.
Aaron Profitt, Overland Park Junior, said he thought committee members needed to pay attention to the nature of the bill, which he said was more academic than religious.
"I don't think we should not fund it because this is a white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant organization," Profit said.
Thomas said the group already had received funding from the chemistry department and was waiting to hear back from Coca-Cola.

Funds to be raised for breast cancer
writer@kansan.com
By Warisa Chulindra
Kansan staff writer
Organizers of the Breast Cancer Fund-raiser 2000 hope to raise awareness about the disease among KU students and the Lawrence community.
The week-long fund-raiser,
intended to raise money for local health agencies, kicks off tomorrow at 10 a.m. at Robinson Center.
Heather Mackler, event organizer, said she wanted to plan an event during which students could have fun, but still feel as if that they had made an impact.
"There's kind of a stigma that goes with breast cancer," she said.
The money raised will be donated to Breast Cancer Inc. and the American Cancer Society. The funds will be used locally for education, advocacy, support and to pay for mammograms for women who cannot afford them.
Hoops for Health, the kick-off event, is a 3-on-3 double elimination basketball tournament, which will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow
at Robinson. There is a 202 entry fee per team. For people who don't want to miss the men's basketball game against Kansas State, there is a break planned to watch the game.
"We thought it would be a great way to involve both genders," said Vicki Collie, Hawks for Health coordinator and Lawrence junior. "It's also really important for men because it strikes women involved in their lives."
The fund-raiser also will include a pooch walk, a lecture about breast cancer reconstructive surgery, information tables and a benefit concert at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
About 180,000 women in the United States will develop breast cancer this year, and 44,000 will die from it, according to the American Cancer Society. The organization reports that breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women aside from skin cancer.
Mackler's said her interest in the project stemmed from her interest in corporate planning and from a personal experience of a family member who had breast cancer. Her stepmother has been in remission from breast cancer for a year.
sion from breast cancer for a year. Mackler enlisted the help of her friend, Lisa Flory, Lawrence senior, who also had a similar experience with breast cancer. Her grandmother had it.
They shared their idea with Watkins Memorial Health Center, Hawks for Health and the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, which all have helped with the event.
Aimee Foppe, Watkins health health care, said Watkins staff members were pleased when they heard about the idea.
"We really like the idea that this was something stimulated by students." she said.
A Jan. 17 punk music show at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., raised $400, which has been used for advertising for the event.
If the fund-raiser is a success, organizers said they would like to see it become an annual event.
"We want to get people in the habit of taking care of themselves young." Flory said. "Younger people tend to think they're invincible. As much as it affects older women, breast cancer affects everyone."

Scholarship halls make the grade

Sellards, Miller women earn top semester GPAs
The scholarship halls, which are designed to promote academics, turned in a grade point average report for the fall that displayed the level of academic excellence they strive for.
Sellards Scholarship Hall turned in the highest GPA among the scholarship halls with a hall cumulative GPA of 3.63. It was followed closely by Miller Scholarship Hall, which had a 3.61. Both halls are women's halls.
"I've always been quite impressed with the grades in the scholarship hall," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. "They typically run above the all-University average."
This fall was no different. The cumulative scholarship hall GPA was 3.44, more than half a point above the all-University average of 2.9.
"We just try to do the best we can," said Lesley Liu, Wichita senior and president of Sellards. "We have an environment where academics is stressed, but everyone is pretty much self-motivated."
"People in this hall have a drive to succeed and push themselves," said Robert Choromanski, Lenexa senior and president of Pearson. "I would like our hall GPA to be higher, but a lot of people have different lives and different schedules."
Pearson Scholarship Hall finished ninth with a 3.13 — a GPA well above the University average.
Choromanski said there were several things, including illness and financial issues, that contributed to the lower average, but he said he thought a 3.13 GPA still was outstanding.
Although the students do participate in other activities, they are still held to a stricter academic requirement. Choromanski said the students had to maintain a GPA of 2.5 or better to be considered for the scholarship halls. Those who fall below are put on academic probation and could face disciplinary measures.
"There is a myth about scholarship halls." Choromanski said. "People think scholarship hall students sit in their room all day and study when we actually have a lot of other activities we participate in."
The three scholarship halls with the most improved GPAs will be awarded the Donald K. Alderson Award at a reception on Stop Day this spring, Stoner said. Stoner was not sure which
"When everybody is above the 3.5 range, improvement is fairly relative." Stoner said. "But they will be awarded for their academic excellence."

Ashley Bowen, Augusta senior, took three of the site's quizzes. The first predicted her wedding date, the second proved to her boyfriend that she was not high-maintenance and the third matched her with a Hollywood celebrity.
However, when Bowen was matched up with Richard Simmons, the weight-loss guru and *Sweatin' to the Oldies* star, she was less than thrilled.
"It was a little traumatic," Bowan said. "My roommate had gotten on it and ended up with Brad Pitt so I figured I would, too. When it popped up, I freaked out."
Bowen said she thought the questions were random and unrelated to determining a suitable match. When she couldn't decide how to answer a question, she chose the same answers her roommate had chosen so she would be paired with

She said the site was fun but that she, too, was bothered by the advertisements.
"One ad kept popping up, and I kept clicking off of it," Bowen said. "I didn't even read it, and it was kind of a pain to get through all the stuff on there."
Emode.com said the advertisements on the site were to provide the user with free service and to help serve the user on a personal level. It also said any information it gathered could be reported in anonymous group statistical form.
Adeyanju said she didn't have any illusions about having privacy on the Internet and didn't enter any personal information.
Bowen said she hadn't taken another quiz since Emode.com had matched her with Simmons.
"I'm coping with the fact that Richard's number wasn't on there," she said. "But Valentine's Day is coming up."

House passes tax cuts for married couples
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Staking election-year strategy on a parade of tax cuts, House Republicans yesterday delivered a marriage valentine by passing a 10-year,$182 billion tax cut for married couples, including 25 million who pay more than single people.
"Most Americans understand that it is ridiculous for our government to penalize married couples," said House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill. "We need a tax code that doesn't punish married couples."
The House voted 268-158 to send the bill to the Senate, despite President Clinton's veto threat. The vote, insufficient to override a
veto, was timed to coincide with Valentine's Day next week.
Before that
Before that vote,
the House defeated by 233-192 a Democratic alternative costing $95 billion over 10 years. Its tax relief targeted at lower- and middle-class people and included trigger delaying
Clinton: Has said he will veto the bill
the cuts until toward fixing Medicare and national debt.
]
there is action Social Security paying down the
Replaying last year's tax fight, President Clinton is threatening a veto because the bill is too costly and skewed toward higher-income people. But at an appearance today across the street from the Capitol, Clinton said the marriage penalty should be eased, as long as tax relief was geared toward lower- and middle-income taxpayers.
Some Democrats worry the GOP bill will have political appeal in competitive districts as Democrats attempt to retake control of the House. Still, they said the measure marked the first piece of the GOP effort to carve last year's vetoed $792 billion tax cut into separate pieces and force Democrats to take a stand on each one.
The GOP bill would cut taxes for
all married couples who file joint income tax returns, not just the two-earner couples who pay a "marriage penalty" compared with what they would owe if single. Roughly half the bill's total cost would go to increase the "marriage bonus" enjoyed by millions of other couples, mainly those in which one spouse earns much more than the other.
"If we are going to provide tax relief for married couples, why pick and choose which couples will benefit?" Sen. Paul Coverdell, RGa., said. "All married couples should benefit, not just those with dual incomes."
Clinton and Democrats say it uses far too much of the budget surplus before other priorities are met.
Ventura to drop party
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Gov. Jesse Ventura, who rose to political prominence under the Minnesota banner of the Reform Party, wants to split from the national organization, officials close to him said yesterday.
Ventura is expected to urge the Minnesota Reform Party to leave the national group, a possible step toward setting up a new organization — perhaps called the Independence Party.
"The governor is disappointed with where the national Reform Party is right now," said Minnesota party chairman Rick McCluhan.
PETER BURTON
Ventura scheduled a news conference for
today, and several officials familiar with the event said they expected him to condemn the state of the national party as a step toward separating from it.
In today's press conference Ventura is expected to urge the Minnesota
convention delegates this month. Such a vote would clear the way for the state party and Ventura to officially sever ties with the national Reform Party.
Minnesota's senior Reform Party committee will meet tomorrow to consider whether to disaffiliate with the national organization and put the matter to a vote of 300 state
Ventura: Unhappy with the national Reform Party
party to begin that process the officials said.
The national party's presidential race was already in turmoil.
Donald Trump, who like Ventura has said he was disgusted with the national organization, is considering running for president under the new banner, according to a knowledgeable official who spoke only on condition of anonymity. The official said that
The official said that on Wednesday Trump and
Ventura discussed the possibility of the governor running for president on the new party's ticket, with the New York developer as his vice presidential running mate. However, Trump has indicated no interest in the No. 2 spot. He is to announce his plans next week.
McCluhan shot down the possibility of a Ventura-Trump ticket.
Activists sue filmmakers for damage to Thai beach
The Associated Press
MAYA BAY, Thailand — *The Beach*, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, tells the story of a backpacker whose quest for the perfect tropical beach leads him to a secret commune on a remote Thai island. But utopia isn't quite what it seems and paradise turns into bloody savagery.
Likewise, the image of sunny, sandy perfection achieved in making the 20th Century Fox film has destroyed the once-pristine beach where it was shot, environmentalists say.
Maya Bay, a strip of sand and vegetation backed by dramatic cliffs, is located on Phi Phi Le island, about 350 miles south of Bangkok.
But for filmmakers, led by director Danny Boyle and producer Andrew Macdonald, it wasn't quite perfect enough. They brought in bulldozers to widen and flatten the beach and strip away native grasses, scrub and other vegetation. They also removed garbage that had washed ashore and planted 60 coconut trees.
The filmmakers pledged to restore the beach to its original state and set stakes in the sand to prevent erosion. But by the time the monsoon season ended in November, it became clear the stakes didn't work nearly as well as native vegetation. More sand than anyone could remember was washed away by the annual storms.
Activists have brought a $2.6 million lawsuit against Fox, the Forestry Department and the Agriculture Ministry for damage to Mava Bay.
"Their campaign is about greed, not reality," said Prasertpongse Sornuwat, a local council member. "There is no beautiful beach anymore."
A lawyer for 20th Century Fox defended the filmmakers, saying they took every precaution and the erosion was caused by unusually severe storms.
Ecologists fear the loosened sand could damage fragile coral reefs on the beach front. That could threaten the livelihoods of hundreds of boatmen who bring sunbathers to Maya Bay.

Caprio excels in semi-adventurous The Beach
he Beach certainly isn't paradise — but it's still pretty nice.
The plot begins with an American, Richard (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), who is way too cool for standard vacations. So he goes to Thailand, where he quickly discovers that he's still just too cool. Luckily, a crazed Brit, Daffy (Robert Carlyle), gives him a map to a secret island with the perfect beach — a place that just might be cool enough for him. Realizing that he's gone far too long without a love triangle, he quickly befriends a French couple and begins his journey to the island. It doesn't take long until he discovers that this perfect beach might be too cool for him. $\rightarrow$
its just
just not quite the same story that the novel
"The Beach" is based on a novel of the same title, written by Alex Garland. Like all Hollywood adaptations of well-received novels, it's safe to say that the movie isn't as good — which isn't to say that the movie isn't good. Director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) does a respectable job of bringing an entertaining story to the screen. It's just not quite the same story that the novel told
The film's script receives an automatic deduction for including this dreadfully overused scene: The hero and his friend look at the hero's love interest from afar, and the friend says to him, "Forget about it. It'll never happen." But even with that penalty, the film isn't bad. Peppered with excitement and violence, it's not the action-driven adventure that the trailer portrays. The pacing slows in the middle of the film and horedom ensues for a little while.

--only committed multiple nenous dents, but also has drifted in and out of a dark, twisted, vulpine madness. He's not a good guy. Nonetheless, DICaprio is shirtless through a large portion of the film, so I doubt there's much risk of his fans feeling betrayed.
Some of the turns that characters take seem unbelievable. Overall, however, the writing moves the story along and even packs a surprise from time to time.
If you are not into DiCaprio, the best excuse to see this film is its imagery. Bangkok looks abrasive
and dirty, and the island paradise is breathtakingly beautiful. The film is tastefully decorated with Boyle's playful

But really, who is going to this movie for the story? There's a a fairly good reason that Leonardo DiCaprio's name appears so prominently on the film's posters. DiCaprio, in his first film since 1998, does a fine job. He's a good actor and it shines through. However, people looking to see a sensitive character should just go rent Titanic again. To call Richard amoral is extreme, but he certainly is morally confused. By the end of the film, he has not

So all in all, this film is decent. Weaknesses show up, but they aren't fatal. DiCaprio fans will be pleased, so long as they don't mind seeing Leo get a little dirty. Fans of Danny Boyle's storytelling and visual style will be entertained as well. And though it's not the best film of the season, it's
probably the best film of the week

Morphine
The Night
Buy it
When Mark Sandman died of a heart attack July 3 during a performance in Italy, so ended Morphine, the three-piece ensemble he created in the early 1990s.
Sandman's premature departure is made even more tragic by listening to the trio's last studio album, *The Night*, which is absolutely masterful and
awash in promise. Promise that the band, sadly, cannot capitalize on again.
Morphine came about during the reign of grunge rock and stood out like an ugly zit. Sandman and crew eschewed distorted guitars and machine-gun drum beats in favor of a slide bass guitar, a saxophone and jazz rhythms. The Night takes the formula a step further, throwing in cello, viola, piano, organ and hand drums. And the result is silky smooth.
The band's low-key music blends splen didly with Sandman's entrancing baritone voice. Check out the title track and "Top Floor, Bottom Buzzer" for outstanding examples of how uniquely refreshing this can be. Try not to be happily hypnotized by the dark melodies of "Take Me With You" and "Like a Mirror."
Space limits what can be said about The Night, but its description requires one word: enthralling. Buy this album now.

Bowery Electric Lushlife
Buy it used
Eight-year-old space-rock, trip-hop duo
Bowery Electric will blast back onto the
scene with its newest album Lushlife, to be released Feb. 21. Lushlife is full of experimentation with new electronic sounds and samples and blurs the line between live and programmed instruments.
Besides the crisp drum samples, nothing on the album is overdone. This results in a lulling, repetitive sound. Martha Schwendener's vocals are repolling, but again, too horizontal in pitch to be truly captivating. Songs such as "Freedom Fighter," with its high-energy sound, and the dissonant "After Landing" are different enough to break up an album that might have become plagued by repetition.

Halled as the new voice of Brazilian music by many critics. Virginia
The rich voice of Rodrigues proves to be the most remarkable element of the entire album. She displays a wide vocal range and a voice that could sing you to sleep. A very unified sound is the end result with the addition of the well-balanced instrumentation using subtle strings, exotic percussion and subdued brass.
*Nos means "us" in Portuguese, and is a title that captures the essence of this album as Rodriguez draws upon the spirit of Brazilian Carnival music.
Rodrigues' newest release, Nos, is enchanting and alive.
The Handsome Family In the Air Buy it
If quirky country music is your cup of tea, the cup doth runneth over when Brett and Rennie Sparks (a.k.a. The Handsome
Family) pick up their guitars. In the Air, their fourth album, features wonderfully crafted songs with titles such as "The Sad Milkman" and "Grandmother Waits For You." This guitar-driven sound best resembles country music. With lyrics such as "I'm afraid of bridges" ("In the Air") and "I wanted to tell you all the ways I loved you/ But instead got sick on the train" ("A Beautiful Thing"), the handsome Family takes the listener on a strange journey through a world filled with drowning grandmothers, murdered brothers and suffocated fireflies. The slow-paced melodies really amplify Brett's deep vocals, most notably on "When That Helicopter Comes" and "Grandmother Waits For You." If you buy one country album this year, do yourself a favor and make it In The Air. The band will be playing Feb. 16 at the Replay Loure. 946 Massachusetts St.

Jayhawks soar past Longhorns
Guard overcomes illness to lead team to 64-52 victory
By Chris Fickett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Suzi Raymant was not feeling 100 percent. But her three-point shot was.
Raymant, the Kansas women's basketball team's senior sharpshooter, nailed a three-pointer deep into the heart of Texas and propelled the No. 23 Jayhawks to a 64-52 victory against the Longhorns last night in Allen Fieldhouse. That basket, which she followed up with a key steal, fortified a 13-4 'Hawks run that ended the game.
Before the game, Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington wasn't sure if Raymant, a senior guard, would be able to play. She has had the flu since last week.
"I was truly worried," Washington said. "She really wanted to play, and this is her senior year, so I thought I'd take a chance." Washington said.
Raymant saw limited action in the first half because of foul trouble. But that might have been a blessing. Raymant, who finished the game with 11 points and two three-pointers, said she might not have had enough energy at the end of the game if she hadn't been on the bench at the start.
made nine steals. The Longhorns average a league-best 12.2 a game. The Jayhawks, now at 17-5 and a game behind the league's top spot at 8-2, has now held 20 of its 22 opponents to under 40 percent shooting.
"I was really hoping I wouldn't lose my
wind because I hadn't been practicing for a couple of days," she said. "But I felt OK by the second half. Maybe if I had played a lot more minutes in the first half I might not have been able to stand up as much in the second half."
As advertised, there was plenty of defense in the game. Texas, which dropped to 15-8 and 7-3 in the Big 12 Conference,

"Tonight we had to defend the drive, and I'm really pleased with that," Washington said. "We really had to rotate."
And even though the Jayhawks didn't shoot much better than the Longhorns — 40.4 percent to Texas' 35.5 percent — their defense made all the difference.
"Coach pounds it in our head everyday," said junior forward Jaclyn Johnson, who scored 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds. "Defense wins games. And if we're having a poor shooting night like tonight, then we just have to make them shoot worse."

"We're off to our toughest stretch of anyone in our conference with four games on the road and only one at home," Washington said.

The Jayhawks aren't the happiest camers these days.
They've been blasted four consecutive times on the road, have dropped to sixth place in the Big 12 Conference standings and are fresh from their third worst loss in school history.
drop to 17-6 overall and 6-3 in the Big 12. "Things aren't going well," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "Things aren't happy or cheerful, and people don't have a smile on their face. I'm human, I feel sorry and I'm ready to jump off a building sometimes, but that's not going to do any of us any good."
Kansas also has witnessed its record drop to 17-6 overall and 6-3 in the Big 12.
However, what would do the Jayhawks good is picking up that elusive road victory. Kansas' four-game losing streak on the road is its longest since Williams' first season in 1988-89.
That losing streak started at Missouri, continued at Iowa State and Iowa, and was topped off last Monday at
Oklahoma State with an 86-53 butchering by the Cowboys.
In that game, the Jayhawks set season lows for points (53), field goals (20), field goal attempts (53), field goal percentage (.339), free throws (6), free throw percentage (.462), defensive rebounds (22), total rebounds (32) and steals (4).

Williams: Says things are not going well
Oklahoma was embarrassing", Williams said. "This team was never able to make a run the entire game. We've lost several games, but most of the time we could at least make a run. We haven't had many like that."
"They can say that Kansas is vulnerable, but they can't be that confident themselves."
Roy Williams
Kansas men's basketball coach
Coliseum against the Kansas State Wildcats at 3 p.m. in Manhattan may be just the cure the Jayhawks are looking for.
Kansas has won 16 straight games in Manhattan, which includes an 11-10 lifetime mark at Bramlage. The Jayhawks also have tripped up the Wildcats once already this season — an 87-79 victory on Jan. 8 in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks held off a late Wildcat rally in that game before eventually pulling away for the win.
"I can really respect them as a team," Kansas guard Kenny Gregory said. "The way they came to the Fieldhouse
and played us to the wire makes me respect them."
The Wildcats may look at Kansas' recent road woes and smell blood, but the fact remains that K-State hasn't exactly been lighting up the scoreboards itself.
The Wildeats have lost nine consecutive games, have dropped to 1-9 in the Big 12, and stand 8-13 on the season.
"There's a couple trains of thought," Williams said. "They can say that Kansas is vulnerable, but they can't be that confident themselves."
So, at least on paper, the Jayhawks have the table set to end that four-game road skid.
"It all starts with how ready you are for the beginning of the game," Gregory said. "We have to be ready to play better and play through team's emotions. We have to play together and play with composure during the last five minutes of the game."
Tennis team boasts native Kansas duo

Kansas sportwriter
The Kansas men's tennis team is using some homegrown weapons.
On a roster typically dominated by foreign athletes and players from warm climates, two players hail from the state of Kansas this season. Fifth-year senior and team captain Bryan Maier, a Winfield native, and Pete Stroer, Salina freshman, are making mark on Kansas tennis.
"It is a really rare occurrence, especially being not very close to the coast where there are lots of better tennis players," Maier said. "This might be the last time it ever happens here at Kansas."
Maier and Stroer make up the first Kansas duo to compete on the team since the 1995-96 season. During the past few years, the squad has had an abundance of foreign athletes. In fact, this spring only four players on the eight
"Sometimes it's a little difficult because we'll spill up into little groups, but it's really not that bad," Maier said. "Most of the foreign players speak pretty good English."
"There's the hick stuff that comes out every once in a while." Maier said. "They also think we're going to be on the front row of every basketball game with our faces painted just because we're from here. On this team, everyone kids around a little, though."

Because of their Kansas roots, Maier said players on the team often teased Stroer and him during practice.
Maier said that being in the minority sometimes was hard.
During his first five practices, Stroer said he felt a little uncomfortable being one of the only athletes

Track team aims for top spots at invitational meet in Nebraska

The invitational, which will include more than 50 teams, is just her type of meet.
"I'm one of those athletes that'll compete better in a bigger meet setting," Feinberg said. "I'm really excited to compete."
Because of severe tendonitis in her knee, Feinberg has had two knee operations and had to red-shirt both indoor and outdoor seasons last year. She said a cortisone shot in her knee should sustain her for this weekend's competition and possibly through to the NCAA indoor championships, for which she provisionally qualified.
And she is lucky she can.

Luckily for Feinberg, she won't have to guess how high her knee will have to take her today — every day she sees how high she has to go to stay competitive.
"Andrea is my biggest competition, so it's nice to train with that every day." Feinberg said.
That's not to say that there won't be any other contenders for the women's pole vault title today. Feinberg and Branson will look to better Kansas State's Erin Anderson, who vaulted three inches higher than Branson's second-place mark last year in Lincoln.

things, coach Gary Schwarz said.
He said the rest of the team would stay at home and prepare for next week's pre-conference invitational.
Of those attending the meet, junior All-American Charlie Gruber is expected to repeat his outstanding performance from last year. Gruber placed second in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:52.67. Gruber, who bettered that mark by three seconds at last weekend's Northern Iowa Invitational, is just one reason why Winberg believes this year's Jayhawks will make a strong showing in Lincoln.
"I think we're making really big improvements," Feinberg said. "I'd definitely say things are looking up. We've got a long ways to go, but I think there's a lot more team spirit this year. I think people are a lot more fired up this year to do really well."

Dunk contest slams back into NBA
Finally, the NBA slam-dunk contest has come back to All-Star weekend.
The biggest slam-masters in the world converge in one place to show the fans such things as the "East Bay Funk Dunk." The dunk-a-thon has been absent since 1997, when Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant won it.
In a sick marketing effort, the NBA replaced the slam-dunk contest with a team-up of NBA players and WNBA players. Instead of crazy dunks, the coed teams took very sane jump shots from various spots on the floor.
The contest returns with the three-point shootout and rookie challenge Saturday night on TNT. This year, the contest offers one heavyweight champion and a bunch of challengers. The odds-on favorite is Vince Carter of the Toronto Raptors. Also known as "Vinsanity" and "Air Canada," Carter is a staple on ESPN Sportscenter with dunks that can only be described as ridiculous.
Other contestants this year include Tracy McGrady, also of the Raptors and Carter's cousin. It seems that when God was handing out hops, he got a little out of control with this family and gave them an uncanny amount. Houston Rocket Steve Francis is the smallest contestant at 6-foot-3. The crowds usually like the little guys. Larry Hughes, one of Larry Brown's players at Philadelphia will be there. To complete the North Carolina University connection with Carter, Jerry Stackhouse and Antawn Jamison also will compete.
Now that the dunk contest is back, it has been changed it for better. The skywalkers now can use teammates to assist them with their dunks. Whether that be crazy alley-oops or simply demonstrating how they can jump over grown men, having a teammate will make things even more exciting.
Technologically speaking, TNT will add the "Jump Meter." This amounts to replays showing the trajectory of the players and exactly how high they get off the ground with each dunk. This could be frightening with a guy like Carter, who seems to elevate as much as he wants.
The dunk contest is something every basketball fan can enjoy. What group of street ballers hasn't drifted over to the little kid goals to do their best Dee Brown imitation? Even the Division I kids wanna be like the slam contestants. Last week at practice, I saw the Jayhawks attempting Isaiah Rider's "East Bay Funk Dunk," a viscous slam that involves driving baseline, jumping, switching the ball from one hand to the other through your legs while in midair, and finishing it with a nasty one-handed dunk. And in the Oklahoma State game, if you could call it a game, Desmond Mason got a break away and did his best imitation of Dominique Wilkins with a Three Stooges twist.
My prediction for the dunk contest will be the easy pick of Carter. He's just too nasty not to win it. Battling for second will be Larry Hughes, who wants to prove he's not just a bench player and also has the large ego of Allen Iverson to help throw the assists, and Antawn Jamison, who has the hometown Golden State Warriors to his favor.
Regardless of the winner, one thing is for sure: With the return of the dunk contest, expect to see even more adults on the kiddierms doing their best impersonations of their favorite dunkmasters.

Lewis' acquaintances issued arrest warrants
ATLANTA — Police issued arrest warrants yesterday for two acquaintances of Ray Lewis and accused the Baltimore Ravens star of lying to protect them.
Lewis, charged with murder in the stabbings of two men outside a club after a Super Bowl party, was an active participant in the fight that led to the killings, Deputy Chief C.B. Jackson said at a news conference.
In his first major comments on the investigation, Jackson said police were searching for two men, Reginald Oakley of Baltimore, 31, and Joseph L. Sweeting of Miami, 34. Both have extensive criminal records and should be considered armed and dangerous, he said.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said he would seek murder indictments against all three men at a grand jury hearing today.
"We are absolutely confident that we have the perpetrators of the crime," Jackson said.
For the nearly two weeks since the slayings, Lewis' lawyers have maintained his innocence while Atlanta police remained mostly quiet — until yesterday. Defense lawyer Ed Garland has said Lewis was simply a horrified bystander.

Jackson said Lewis refused to answer basic questions about the fight that led to the stabbings.
DENVER — The Denver Broncos cleared room under the salary cap yesterday by cutting defensive ends Alfred Williams and Neil Smith, two veteran members of their two Super Bowl championship teams.
Broncos make cuts, lose defensive ends
They also placed quarterback Chris Miller on reserve-retired status. Miller, who came back last season after three years out because of concussions, had planned to retire in any event.
Smith, 33, is a six-time Pro Bowl selection with 104.5 career sacks and two Super Bowl appearances in 12 NFL seasons. A former first-round draft pick by Kansas City, Smith spent nine seasons with the Chiefs before signing with the Broncos before the 1997 season.
Smith's 2000 base salary would have been $2.5 million. Williams' would have been $1.6 million. The Broncos were hoping to sign both players to incentive-laden contracts that would have helped with the salary cap. They now are eligible to test the free-agent market.
Williams, 31, an All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection in 1996, has 59.5 career sacks in nine seasons. The former Colorado standout was taken in the first round of the 1991 draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Miller, 34, likely would not have returned to the Broncos next season, regardless of salary. He announced in January that he was retiring for the second time because of a concussion.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Trying to get under the NFL's salary cap by mid-night last night, the San Francisco 49ers have cut two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Lee Woodall, defensive and Marvin Washington and six-time Pro Bowl safety Tim McDonald.

go, the 49ers saved about $1 million against the cap. That left them about $13.5 million above the projected $62.5 million salary cap. It
was not known how much closer McDonald's release will bring them. The team must be in compliance with
the payroll limit by midnight EST. Failure to abide by the cap limit could result in an NFL-imposed $1 million fine for every day they are not in compliance.
Linebacker Ken Norton, Jr., is close to agreeing to a cap-saving deal, and the 49ers also are talking with the Steve Young's agent to rework his contract.
Buffalo releases Reed after 15 years on team
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.— Andre Reed, who became the No. 2 receiver in NFL history last season while becoming increasingly disgruntled with his role on the Buffalo Bills, has been released by the team.
Reed, a 15-year veteran receiver, said he wanted out, and according to a report on Wednesday from WIVB-TV in Buffalo, the Bills released him.

The Bills also are continuing negotiations with aging stars Bruce Smith and Thurman Thomas. Along with Reed, they were the last two remaining players from Buffalo's four Super Bowl teams.
Agent Leigh Steinberg, who represents Smith and Thomas, said Wednesday night that he was in discussions with team management. "Any reports about their demise is premature," he said.
Both players, who have spent their entire careers with the Bills, have said they would like to return to the team.
"Their plain intention had been to continue there," Steinberg said.

Instead, the dayhawks will row on ergometers, individual rowing machines that measure time and distance traveled. Races will be 2,000 meters, identical to spring season sprint races.
season sprint Kansas, which has won the university women's division the last four years, will compete against Kansas State, Nebraska, South Dakota, Creighton and Drake universities. Team trophies also will be awarded in university men and open club divisions.
One Jayhawk, junior Julie Geiger, will have something on her mind aside from competing against fellow collegiate rowers — family rivalry.
Her father, Bill Geiger, won last year's 50-and-older senior division. Parents of Kansas rowers traditionally enter in the open division of the regatta.
"He beat me last year," she said
Julie said her father, who is 55,
worked on an ergometer for only
two weeks before last year's regatta.
The Geiger family is no stranger to Kansas Athletics—Bill Geiger played football from 1961 to 1963, but his career was cut short because of an injury. And Julie's older sister, Paige, rowed for the Jayhawks during their first varsity year, 1996.
Julie and Bill Geiger are among more than 300 rowers participating in tomorrow's regatta. Participants range in age from high school to senior division rowers. Club teams from Kansas and Missouri also are entered in the regatta, along with other open entries.
During each division flight, rowers compete on 16 ergometers. Rowers are ranked in flights according to times submitted by coaches.
Assistant coach Heather Galvin said that even though Jayhawk rowers would rather be rowing on the water, the indoor races were good for the team's development.
"It's the first big milestone for measuring progress toward the spring season," she said. "It helps
Rowing
us in determining boating positions."

The Jayhawks never have lost their home regatta since rowing became a varsity sport in 1996.
■ The final event tomorrow will be the collegiate relay. It mirrors track and field's 4x100 meter relay. Four rowers row in secession on an ergometer for 500 meters each. Team scoring is like track and field as well — first place, 10 points; second, 8; third, 6; fourth, 4; fifth, 2; and sixth place, 1 point.
■ The collegiate relay isn't the only unique event in the ergometer races — Coxswains will race 1,000 meters in the collegiate coxswain division. A coxswain, the only member in a boat who doesn't row, navigates the boats and keeps the rowers in sync.
"They have fun because it gives them a chance to do our job, yelling at us and cheering us on," said senior coxswain Nikia Rosenberger about her rowing teammates. "It allows rowers to let coxswaisf get in their shoes for awhile."

one of the only athletes from Kansas.
"When I first got here, I had a little grudge on my shoulder about being a Kansas kid," Stroer said. "Now, there's a neat friendship between the team. Bryan and I have something in common that no else on the team has. It's kind of a special feeling."
Stroer and Maier came to the University with very similar backgrounds. Each of them played high school basketball and won at least one state championship in tennis. In fact, Stroer had a 26-1 record his senior year.
Both players said they received many offers to play tennis at other universities, but they knew all alone the would be Jayhawks.
When Stroer signed with Kansas, his best friend's mom handed him a sheet he had filled out in sixth grade. He had written that he wanted to go to Kansas.
"She said, 'Look, you're fulfilling one of your goals by becoming a Jayhawk,'" Stroer said.
"Coming to Kansas is something I've always wanted to do."
Maier said he also knew he would attend Kansas as a child.
"Ever since I was little, I've always wanted to come here," Maier said. "I have some family on the faculty so I've been in and of Lawrence all my life. It made the decision easy for me. I definitely love this university."
Riley said he named Maier as the captain not only because he was the team's lone senior but also because of his love for Kansas tennis.
This season has been fairly successful for both athletes. Coach Mark Riley named Maier the team's captain before the season began. As the captain, his record has been 9-8 in singles play.
"I thought Bryan would be a good captain because of his commitment to Kansas," Riley said. "He really respects this university and has the most experience out on the court."
Unlike Maier, Stroer is just getting adjusted to competing at the Division I-A level. He has racked up a 12-9 record in the team's fifth singles position. Riley said he saw a bright future ahead for Stroer.

Key player fighting injury

The Kansas men's tennis team will have to overcome the injury of a key player this weekend if it hopes to defeat two ranked opponents in Lawrence.
After struggling mightily at the Louisville Invitational in late January, the Jayhawks (1-3) return home to take on No. 38 Indiana and No. 88 Iowa at the Alvamar Racquet Club.
But to bounce back, the squad will have to cope with the injury of one of sophomore Rodrigo Echagaray. He defeated the nation's No. 17-ranked player at the Rolex Indoors meet last week and is suffering
"The only way to make things right again is to compete," Kansas coach Mark Riley said. "If we perform the way I know we can, then we have a good chance of beating both teams."

from pain in his right leg. Riley said Echagaray would play in the same singles and doubles spot that he had all season or he would not play. But Echagaray said yesterday that he still felt pain when he served the ball and that he didn't know if would be able to compete at full capacity this weekend.
"I'll just have to wait until Saturday to see how it feels," Echagaray said. "I don't think it is a bad injury, so I'll probably try to serve. The doctor said it shouldn't get any worse."
The Jayhawks' most difficult challenge this weekend could be the overall strength of their opponents.
Indiana, the Jayhawks' opponent at 10 a.m. tomorrow, is strong, with 10 letter-winners returning from last season. The Hoosiers (1-0) are coming off of an upset victory
against No. 22 Notre Dame
"Indiana is a much-improved team," Riley said. "They've been getting better with each year. The bottom line is we're going to have to play really hard to win."

Iowa, will not be a cupcake, either.

with a 2-0 record. Last season, the
Jayhawks dominated the Hawkeyes,
beating them 6-1 in Lawrence.
Iowa is led by Tyler Cleveland, who racked up a 7-2 fall record on his way to the championship of the Rolex International Tennis Association Region IV Tournament. Overall, Iowa returns seven players, including five who are proven Big Ten performers.
Still, Echagaray said the team was looking forward to competing against its ranked opponents.
"I wish all of our opponents were ranked," Echagaray said. "It's better because you can get really pumped up to play."
'Hawks to have whirlwind weekend

Hoping to build on its 3-0 start, the Kansas women's tennis team will head to Tobacco Road for three matches this weekend.
"Ohio State) just upset a Top 25 Marquee team that is very, very good," coach Jenny Garrity said.
The first match comes today against Ohio State in Durham, N.C. The Buckeyes are undefeated early season by starting off 4-0, including an unset of Marquette.
Today is the first time the Jayhawks will play away from Lawrence this spring, and it also will be against the best team they have seen thus far. Senior Brooke Chiller said the better competition would be good for her.
"The tougher the opponent, the more I won't be able to make errors," she said.
Ohio State is ranked No.36 in the nation, while the Jayhawks are close behind at No.41.
"For our first road match of the season, it's definitely going to be a big test for us, but I think the girls
are ready," Garrity said.
Coaching the Buckeyes is former Kansas coach Chuck Merzbacher. During his 1992 to 1996 coaching tenure, he led the Jayhawks to four straight Big Eight Conference championships and three NCAA tournament berths. He was named the 1993 and 1994 Coach of the Year in the Big Eight and received the same award in the Big Ten Conference last year. The Buckeyes won the first and only meeting against Kansas in 1978.
The Jayhawks will have tomorrow off to travel to Davidson, N.C., for their second doubleheader of the season on Sunday.
The first meet of the double-dip begins at 9:30 a.m. against College of Charleston. The Cougars have begun the season 0-2.
Following that match, the team will go head to head with the home team, Davidson College. The Wildcats were railed in their first meet this spring, 9, by No. 13 South Carolina. The Cougars and the Wildcats are not ranked in the top 75.
Junior Monica Sekulov said playing the doubleheaders definitely would have the team in shape for the Big 12

In addition to being a tough road test, the trip is a chance for Garrity to return to the college where she played and coached college tennis for eight years. She played for North Carolina State from 1988-92 and began her coaching career at the same institution in 1995. She was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year in her final season. 1998.
tournament at the end of April, which spans four days. However, fatigue can be a problem in the early part of the season when the players have not had a chance to get into game shape.
"In singles I was dragging a little bit," she said. "I think it was just a long day. Physically, it wasn't so bad, but it just felt like we were here all day."

rolowing the weekend, the team has a two-week break before returning to action in the Jayhawk Classic, which begins Feb. 26.
Opponents beware: Sarah Clopton has some new pitches.
But the returning All-Big 12 starter isn't saying which ones. She just smiles and runs her index finger and thumb across her mouth as if to say, these lines are zipped.
Along with Clopton, the Jayhawk return nine starters and 13 letter-winners. The Jayhawk finished fifth in the Big 12 last season, earning a trip to the NCAA Regionals.
The star hurler's new pitches may be a secret, but the Kansas softball team probably won't surprise anyone this year.
Clopton and her teammates will start their season at 11 a.m. today at Arizona State's tournament in Tempe, Ariz. The Jayhawks take on Fresno State, ranked third in the nation, and Arizona State today. They play Georgia tomorrow and Utah on Sunday.
"I think everybody as a team is doing excellent," Clopton said. "Our attitude is definitely a lot more positive than it has been."
"When we look at the season, we do not start out with an easy schedule," said Kansas coach Tracy Bunge, who is back for her fourth season. "We felt like we need to think nationally and picked Arizona and Fresno."
Although practice started last month, Bunge already has noticed the hard work the Jayhawks have done.
"I can't ask any more from these kids." Bunge said. "They are on the way to having an extremely successful year."
Bunge said that there was a definite advantage to having all nine starters returning and that she was confident that her team would be successful.
"I have full faith this team will rise to the occasion—to be at the World Series." Bunge said.
Clopton said she hoped this year's team would improve its 31-30 record from last year.
"Hopefully, the season will be better than last season," she said. "It will definitely be bittersweet."
The Jayhawks add four new team members this season. Identical twins Kelly and Katie Campbell, both transferred from Northwestern. Kelly will see time on the mound, and Katie will be sharing time behind the plate.
Leah Mountain and Leslie Sailor both walked on the team last fall. Mountain plays first base and will back up senior Shannon Stanwix. Sailor will back up Megan Urquhart at third base.
Bunge said she thought a lot of people would be surprised with the new players.
"The best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores," she said. "They keep adding experience and gain knowledge."
Although Sailor was uneasy about going away to college and about joining the team, she said she had found friendship on the team.
"The team welcomes everybody," she said. "I was a little bit nervous. These were people I have never played with before."

Bunge said the coaching transitions should go smoothly for the new players.
"They have brought new energy to the team," Bunge said.

Team wants second big win in Texas
By Amanda Kashube
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
For the second straight year, the Kansas baseball team will try to mess with the state of Texas in its season opener.
Last year, the 'Hawks were triumphant: They routed the University of Texas-Arlington 10-3. Tomorrow, they will try to do the same to the University of Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners (1-0) in the first game of their three-game series.
Coach Bobby Randall said he was looking forward to seeing his team in action.
"Every game is important, every game is critical," he said. "We want to come out and establish a good brand of baseball - pitch good ball, play well and win."
The Jayhawks return eight position players and nine pitchers to their squad, compared to the seven starters the Roadrunners return.
Senior designated hitter Shane Wedd said the 'Hawks had the experience to improve last season's 14-40 record.
"We have even talent across the table," he said. "Every series is big for us; we need to play hard to win."
However, Randall said his team might be at a slight disadvantage.
"UT-San Antonio has already played; they already got the first game jitters out of the way," he said. "They've also had three times more outside days than we have. But we expected that."
The Roadrunners shut out Texas A&M 4-0 on Tuesday, breaking a streak of 209 straight games in which the Aggies scored. This will be the first meeting
Baseball
between Kansas and UT-San Antonio.
Randall said his team had improved in two aspects of the game — on the mound and behind the plate.
Series starters — juniors Pete Smart and Brandon O'Neal and senior Rusty Philbrick — have been working all winter on their pitching mechanics, hoping to improve on the team's 7.57 ERA.
"I've been working on throwing low in the zone and throwing a lot of strikes," said Smart, who will start tomorrow's game.
The Jayhawks also have added two new catchers to their lineup — junior college transfer Brenton Del Chiaro and sophomore transfer Matt Oakes — in an effort to shut down their opponents' base-stalting opportunities. Last season, Kansas' rivals enjoyed a 93 percent stolen base success rate, but Del Chiaro said he would change that.
"I was recruited for my arm, and I'm ready to throw a lot of runners out," he said. "Beating the schools in Texas is key — we want to show them what we're made of."
The Jayhawks will open their 2000 campaign tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Roadrunner Field and will play a doubleheader on Sunday starting at 11 a.m.
before she'll birthday singing it.
"We're going to sneak up on a lot of people," Del Chiaro said. "We're the next Cinderella story."
CINCINNATI — Junior has come home.
The Associated Press
Following three months of deadlocked trade talks, the Cincinnati Reds reunited Ken Griffey Jr. with his father and hometown yesterday in a trade that sent four players to the Seattle Mariners.
Griffey agreed to a nine-year contract worth $116.5 million, the richest package in baseball history.
In Cincinnati before the news conference, euphoric fans honked horns on the streets and revealed in the team's most celebrated trade since Pete Rose returned as player-manager in 1984.
Pete Rose's name as far as Cincinnati, " coach Ron Oester said. "That's the magnitude he's at for Cincinnati fans."
"His name comes up like
Griffey, 30, is considered a threat to break Hank Aaron's career home run record of 755. He already has hit 388 and was voted onto baseball's All-Century team last fall.
Cincinnati is the only place the 10-time All-Star center fielder wanted to play.
Pitcher Brett Tomko and outfielder Mike Cameron were sent to Seattle in the trade, along with minor leaguers infielder Antonio Perez and right-hander pitcher Jake Mever.
The Mariners had little hope of keeping him after this season — Griffey limited his choice to only Cincinnati, where his father, Ken Sr., used to play.
Ken Sr. is now the Reds' bench coach and a candidate to succeed Jack McKeon as manager.
Griffey turned down an eight-year, $148 million contract extension last summer with the Mariners, and trade talks with the Reds heated up during meetings in December.
On Tuesday, it appeared the Seattle-Cincinnati deal wouldn't happen — the Reds didn't think they could afford him.
Assured that Griffey would accept less to play in his hometown, the Reds went ahead and completed the five-
player trade on Wednesday night.
Griffey is a lifetime. 299 hitter with 1,152 RBI in 11 seasons, all in Seattle. He has won 10 straight Gold Gloves. No word on if Griffey will wear his No. 24.
The acquisition gives the Reds, who lost a wild-card playoff to the Mets last season, a fearsome lineup — he will be surrounded by Barry Larkin, Sean Casey and Dante Bichette.
The deal brings together the game's top sluggers in the same division. With Mark McGwire in St. Louis and Sammy Sosa playing for the Cubs, the NL Central might take a new name — Home Run Central.
Griffey eighth All-Century player to be traded
The Associated Press
If they could trade Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby, and they could trade Lefty Grove and Mark McGwire, then they could trade Ken Griffey Jr.
And they just did.
and they just said Griffey became the centerpiece of baseball's biggest trade in years yesterday when he was swapped by the Seattle Mariners to the Cincinnati Reds in a deal he forced.
Like most big deals these days, money played a significant part in the exchange.
Ruth lasted longer than the show, and the Red Sox have reretreated the deal since.
Of the 30 players on the All-Century team selected last summer, Griffie is the eighth to be traded. And some of the others were exchanged more than once.
Hornsby, who batted above 400 three times, was traded three times — once for fellow Hall of Famer Frankie Frisch, and for a variety of anonymous players such as Socks Sebold and Percy Jones.
Ruth was the first money player — traded by Boston owner Harry Frazee to the New York Yankees for $125,000 and a $300,000 loan, much of which Frazee invested in the Broadway production of No, No, Nanette.
Two current players from the All-Century team also have been traded — slugger Mark McGwire by Oakland to St. Louis, where he hit a record 70 home runs two years ago; and five-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens from Toronto to the New York Yankees, where he helped win a World Series last season.
Lefty Grove was coming off a league-leading 24-win season in 1933 when he was traded by the Philadelphia Athletics to Boston by owner Connie Mack, who got $125,000 as part of the deal. Grove would spend eight years with the Red Sox and reach 300 wins for his career.
Even Cy Young, who won a record 511 games, was traded by Boston to Cleveland in 1909.
Tom Seaver was a part of the New York Mets pitching staff for 10 seasons and was a pennant winner in 1969 and 1973.
In 1977 he was in the middle of a messy contract squabble and was traded to the Reds for four players. He helped them to the National League West title two years later and pitched his only no-hitter with the Reds.
Frank Robinson was one of the National League's top sluggers with the Cincinnati. He won the MVP award in 1961 when the Reds won the pennant.

Drought plagues 'Hawks
Scoring slump builds road woe frustrations; team looks for answers
By Matt Tait
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
There are plenty of explanations for Kansas' recent four-game road losing streak, but something that remains unexplained is the Javhawks' lack of scoring.
"It's kind of a mystery right now with the scoring," point guard Jeff Boschee said. "Every team hits a wall at some point in the season, but I don't think a Kansas team has hit a wall this hard in quite a while."
In the four road losses, the Jayhawks labored to reach 69 points at Iowa, only scored 66 at Iowa State, didn't even break 60 at Missouri and scored even fewer Monday night at Oklahoma State with 53.
Those totals are a far cry from the 89.6 points a game the Jayhawks average at home, especially for a team that Kansas coach Roy Williams thought would be strong scorers.
"I thought we would score better than we have," Williams said. "In August and September I didn't know Luke [Axtell] was going to have the physical problems that held him back, with the foot, the broken hand and stuff like that. And I really thought that he would play a much more dominant role than his ailments have allowed him to do."
Axtell recently elected to step away for an indefinite amount of time because of an undisclosed medical condition. But in 20
However, now the team misses his 39 percent shooting from the perimeter. Axtell's absence certainly is not the only reason for Kansas' low point totals.
games, he didn't dominate — he averaged only 8.9 points a contest.
Williams also alluded to the fact that he expected more scoring from guard Marlon London and center Eric Chenowith. He also didn't expect Bosche to be a lengthy slump.
Guard Kenny Gregory leads the Jayhawks in scoring this season, pouring in 13.5 points a game. He also was uncertain why the Jayhawks have had trouble putting points on the board.
"We aren't performing as well as we did at the beginning of the season," Gregory said. "When we were all clicking on the same cylinder it was covered up and we were scoring, but individually me included — certain envs are struggling in certain areas."
Most noticeably — the half court offense. When Kansas presses, Gregory and the rest of the team benefit from dunks and layups. But one thing, Williams has said all season.
But one thing Williams has said all season is if you can't score, you can't press.
As Kansas enters tomorrow's contest with Kansas State at Bramla College—a place where it has won 17 games in a row — the focus will be on offense. Williams and Boschee both said that a quick start would be important to winning the game and had ideas on how to get their offensive confidence back.
"We just need to do the things that we did at the beginning of the year and not be as tentative." Boschee said.
Williams agreed but said there was only one way to restore confidence.
"More than anything, confidence comes from the ball going into the basket," he said.

Carter expected to soar in All-Star dunk contest
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Most of America has never seen the phenomenon sweeping the NBA: Vince Carter rising through the air to dunk a basketball.
Not live. Not on national television.
Not until now.
Carter will take his next step toward superstardom at the All-Star game this weekend.
"My favorite player," gushed none other than Shaquille O'Neal. "Halfman, half-amazing."
The 23-year-old sensation has dunked and highlight-reeled his way into being the top vote-getter among all players, even though he plays in Canada. He very well could be the star of the entire weekend.
He is also the featured performer in the revived dunk-dunk contest, the
Carter, a starting forward for the Eastern Conference, will appear for the first time on a national NBC broadcast when the All-Star game tips off Sunday at 6:38 p.m. EST.
highlight of an All-Star Saturday that begins at 4 p.m. EST with the rookie game.
The rookie game will pit this season's rookies vs. last year's class that never had a rookie game because of the lockout that forced the cancellation of All-Star festivities.
Carter's participation has sparked a buzz about the dunk contest, which hasn't been held since 1997 in
Cleveland when Kobe Bryant won it. Bryant declined to defend his title.
The format will be slightly different than in 1997, with the addition of a so-called alley-oop rule that requires each player to have a teammate assisting on at least one of his dunks in each of the two rounds.
Carter, Tracy McGrady (20), Steve
Francis (21), Antawn Jamison (23),
Larry Hughes (21) and Jerry
Stackhouse (25) are the youthful
competitors.
The rookie game, dubbed the Rookie Challenge because of the unique nature of this year's freshman vs. sophomore format, includes young hot shots such as Jason Williams of Sacramento, Paul Pierce of Boston and Michael Dickerson and Mike Biby of Vancouver for the 1998-99 team vs. Steve Francis of the Rockets, Lamar Odom of the Clippers and Elton Brand of the Bulls on the 1999-00 team.
The 3-point shootout will feature Hubert Davis of the Mavericks, far and away the most accurate long-distance shooter in the league this season. The 2-ball event, featuring WNBA players, will include the only All-Star weekend entry even remotely related to Michael Jordan — Chamique Holdswclaw and rookie Richard Hamilton representing the Washington Wizards and the Mystics. Jordan is a part owner of the Wizards.
Publicly, Carter insists he hasn't been practicing for the dunk contest or the All-Star game. His actions, however, betray his claim.
Last week at the conclusion of practice at a small college gym on the outskirts of San Antonio, Carter's teammates watched him do a difficult between-the-legs maneuver in the air, leading to a vicious high-velocity stuff.
They then insisted that he try the dunk originally made famous by Dr. J — taking off from the foul line.
Carter missed it.
Of course, the adrenaline generated by dunking in front of a few teammates is nothing compared with dunking in front of millions on TV. Carter knows this will be his moment to seize the spotlight and make himself even more of a household name in the Lower 48 than he is north of the border.
"No pressure, no pressure," Carter said. "I'll just try to have fun. I don't want to plan 'em, just go according to how I'm feeling at that time."

--in the playoffs, Marino led the Dolphins to a 20-17 win over Seattle in the first round, but the team was embarrassed 62-7 the next week against Jacksonville.
Marino ends contract with Dolphins
The Associated Press
MIAMI—Dan Marino, the leading passer in NFL history, yesterday voided the final two years of his contract with the Miami Dolphins, paving the way for his retirement.
He also could return to the Dolphins or go to another team as a free agent, which is considered unlikely.
Two newspapers reported that Marino was more likely to re-sign with the Dolphins rather than leave for another team if he decides to play another year.
The move, which will save the Dolphins $6 million under the salary cap, was expected. Dave Wannstedt, the team's new coach, has consistently indicated he'd prefer to go with a quarterback younger than the 38-year old Marino, who had the worst season of his 17-year career in 1999.
The team plans to try both Damon Huard, who was 5-1 in games he started last season, and Jim Druckenmiller, obtained from San Francisco in a trade before last season. Marino could be insurance if he returns.
HORSE LEAGUE
"This gives us additional room under the salary cap that we need for free agency, while at the same time, it allows Dan to have additional time to consider all his options," team president Eddie Jones said in a statement.
Marino is expected to announce whether he will retire by March 20 the first day of the Dolphins off-season practice session. He recently declined all interviews.
By voiding his contract, Marino gives up a 2000 salary of $.$7.59 million plus a $1 million bonus he is set to receive for being on the roster on April 1. His 2001 salary was unavailable.
The Sun-Sentinel said the Dolphins likely would reinstate the bonus if he re-signed. Because there is no guarantee that Marino would be the team's starter if he returns, any new contract would have a smaller base salary and be loaded with incentives, the paper said. The minimum Marino could sign for is $440,000.
The free agent signing period begins today, and the Dolphins are about $4 million beneath the NFL's
$62.5 million salary cap. With Marino's contract voided, the team is $10 million below the cap.
Marino threw 12 touchdown passes and 17 interceptions in 1999, missing five games and most of a sixth because of a neck injury.
The Dolphins trailed 38-0 before Marino completed a pass, and he finished 11-for-25 for 95 yards with three turnovers.
Head coach Jimmy Johnson, with whom Marino had feuded, quit the next day and was replaced by Wannstedt. The Herald says Wannstedt wants Marino to retire, but will not force him to if he wants to play.

Poor shooting trips Texas
Jayhawks restrict Brown to fewest points this season
By Melinda Weaver sports@kanson.com Kansan writerwriter
In one of its tougher games of the season, Texas did not get the production it expected from the nation's third-highest scorer, Edwina Brown.
In a 64-52 loss to Kansas last night at Allen Fieldhouse, senior forward Brown's sevenpoint performance marked the first time in 24 games she did not score in double figures. Her last single-digit scoring game was six points in a loss to Texas Tech on Feb. 27, 1999.

"It is very atypical for Edwina to be three-of-15," Texas coach Jody Conradt said. "That's not how she plays."
Brown said she expected to be a greater factor in the game but could not get her shot to drop.
"It it was tough to get a shot," Brown said. "I have to be patient and wait for a good shot. I have to let them come to me, so I can get a good shot."
Kansas matched Brown against senior forward Lynn Pride, Brown's teammate in the 1999 Pan-American Games during the summer.
"Defensively, I can't say enough for our club to hold a player like Edwina to seven points," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "We matched her up with Lynn. We thought that would be a good matchup because we like the size, and we thought that would give her some looks she wasn't used to."
An anemic scoring performance from Brown was the least of the Longhorns' woes. They had only one player score in double figures in a 35.5 percent shooting effort.
"We were not very effective off the offense end," Conradt said. "Part of it was Kansas' defense and size, but we had lots of missed opportunities. We had no flow. There was a reluctance of our players to shoot. I don't know if they were fearful of getting their
shots blocked or tentative with the shot, but they tried to make unreal passes when they should have probably shot the ball."
Texas' biggest offensive contribution came from an unlikely source. Sophomore forward Tracy Cook led the team in scoring with 14 points on six-of-eight shooting.
However, she did not score for the remainder of the game, and poor perimeter shooting could not make up for the loss of inside production.
"Tracy was our only inside pressure." Conrad said. "She was playing very well."
Cook averages only 6.2 points per game, but she was the Longhorns' best offensive weapon against Kansas.
Kansas opened the second half with a five-point lead, but Cook scored nine points in the half's opening five minutes, giving the Longhorns a one-point lead.
Texas' starting guards JoRuth Woods and Asha Hill went 7-of-19 from the floor, and freshman guard Alisha Sare, who is averaging 12.4 points per game, added only seven. Texas' one-of-11 shooting from three-point rance was the worst this season.
"We were our own worst enemy," Conrad said. "We would be in the paint with the ball and try to make a two-foot pass. And you have to look at the way we shot from the perimeter. We needed to take care of the ball and make our free throws, and we didn't do any of those things."

Students face federal drug charge
Former athlete among accused
By Mindie Miller
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A former University of Kansas track and football athlete and two other men
— one a KU student — were charged with federal drug and weapons violations Friday after they allegedly attempted to pay an undercover officer about $40,000 for cocaine in Kansas City. Mo.
Tywaune M. M. Aldridge, 22,
Christopher McFarlane, 36, and
Preston Gardenhire, 23, of Topea,
made their first appearances Friday
before Chief Magistrate Judge John Maughner, who ordered that the men remain in federal custody pending a bond hearing this week.
According to an affidavit filed by FBI agent Rick W. Young, the men allegedly met an undercover Kansas City police officer in a Westport-area parking lot Thursday and attempted to pay him about $40,000 for 2 kilograms of sham cocaine. Charges allege that the three men were arrested after they produced two plastic sacks of cash totaling about $40,000.
The affidavit also noted that police and federal officials seized two 9 mm pistols and a 40-caliber handgun.
According to a Kansas City Star article, the arrests did not appear related to a cocaine investigation that links two Kansas City Chiefs football players with the Kansas football program and several KU fraternities. University administrators and athletic officials have said they would cooperate with federal agents to resolve questions.

Elliot Bloom, an assistant in the sport's information office, said Aldridge took himself off the roster because he was planning to have knee surgery.

Garage fees enrage post-game crowd
Mob upset about toll, confronts cops, others
By Sara Shepherd writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Parking night crew supervisor Zeke Cunningham, Topea junior, left work with a headache Thursday night.
An angry crowd gathered in the parking garage near Allen Fieldhouse where Cunningham was working about 9:45 p.m. following the University of Kansas women's basketball game against Texas. Many fans were surprised when they returned to their vehicles to find the parking garage gate still down. Its hours had been extended to 10 p.m. from 8 p.m. just a few weeks before. This meant that fans who wanted to leave the lot before 10 p.m. had to pay.
"I got a huge headache from dealing with all those people in the lobby yelling at me," Cunningham said.
According to a report from the KU Public Safety Office, about 50 people attempted to pay at one
machine in the garage lobby. Vehicles were lined up, waiting to get out of the garage, and cars in the front were left unattended at the gate while their drivers went to the lobby to get change. Parking garage patrons were yelling and cursing at police officers and parking employees, the report said.
"They were confused — they were frustrated," said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking. "People were not happy."
Cunningham estimated there were about 150 vehicles in the garage at the time of the confrontation.
Hultine said that the line of cars was backed up to the lower level of the garage and that people couldn't tell cars were stopped with no drivers up front.
However, Cunningham said the group was hostile as it left the garage, honking and flipping off parking employees.
"Once the gates lifted, they were all able to go," Hultine said.
The crowd was freed about 15 minutes later when the gates opened automatically at 10 p.m.
"They didn't even realize what was holding up the line," Hutine said.
"Everyone in every one of the cars held their horns down," Cunningham said. "I've never seen
grandmas flip people off before."
Two officers from the KU Public Safety Office assisted with the situation. Sgt. Troy Maileen said the officers tried to explain the situation to angry parking patrons.
"We were just there to kind of calm the storm." Mallen said.
Hultine said the extended hours were steps that might end with the garage being metered 24 hours.
The garage gates have been staying down longer since mid-January. Hultine said. The gates had opened at 8 p.m. for several weeks before changing to 9 p.m. on Jan. 31. On Feb. 7, the hours were extended to 10 p.m.
Hultine said many regular garage patrons understood the system and its hours, but people who didn't use it often, such as Thursday's basketball crowd, were unfamiliar with the payment process and might not have noticed signs posted at the garage entrance.
Hultine said that by adding hours gradually, the parking department could see how the idea was working.
"It's not a done deal," Hultine said. "It's really sort of a proposal."
"We need to make sure we do a better job of educating those people," Hultine said.

Life of Jaybowl spared with tie-breaking vote

The Jaybowl has been saved
The Jaybowl has been saved. The Memorial Corp. voted Saturday to keep all 12 Jaybowl lanes and concentrate on renovating the center instead of replacing the lanes with a comprehensive student center.
"It's taken a lot of time away from practice," said Scott Light, Andover junior and men's bowling team member. "But if we didn't do this, we wouldn't have had a place to go back and practice."
Light was one of about 25 bowling team members and Jaybowl supporters who attended the 10 a.m. meeting, wearing stickers proclaiming "Save the Jaybowl."
A vote to accept a plan by David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge unions, was tied 10-10. It was broken only by Memorial Corp. board president Kevin Yoder's rejection of the plan, after which applause rang out from the audience of about 75 at the Kansas Union. The board then passed the decision to keep the lanes.
The approved renovation plan would improve the lanes, change the decor and add a sports cafe to the Jaybowl. The plan is part of an already budgeted phase-three renovation plan for the Kansas Union, costing about $100,000. Renovations also would change other areas of the Union, including improving the stairwell.
"Currently, it's just not a facility that's really pretty to walk into," said Jeff Ussery, Tonganoxie senior and former member of the Kansas bowling team. "I don't think a lot of students want to walk into the Jawblow as it looks now."
Light said the changes in the lanes would be dramatic, and would include new ball returns and refurnishing the lanes.
"They will be as smooth as possible," Light said. "It will keep the lifetime of the lanes up, and they will be a whole lot nicer."
One of Mucci's arguments against keeping the Jaybowl had to do with money. He said the Jaybowl had experienced losses for the past five years. Mucci also said the number of
"It's taken a lot of time away from practice. "But if we didn't do this, we wouldn't have had a place to go back and practice."
Scott Light
Men's bowling team member
users averaged out to be seven bowlers per hour, which was fewer than a computer lab would draw.
Jaybowl supporters argued that bowling was on the rise, but expenses had increased.
Ussery said that according to the Brunswick Co., which would supply the new ball returns, lane renovations increased usage by eight percent in the first year and about half as much every year after that.
Mucci's plan, which would have cost about $800,000, would have eliminated the Jaybowl. The plan would have replaced the space with a lounge area, a stage, a copy center, computer lab and food and convenience services.
A petition asking the board to keep eight lanes in lieu of Mucci's recommendations circulated campus and gained a strong contingency, including an endorsement by Student Senate.
Marlon Marshall, St. Louis sophomore and Student Senate executive committee chairman, presented the Senate resolution to preserve at least eight bowling lanes. He said he thought the Jaybowl's biggest problem was a cosmetic one.
Mucci said, however, that if his proposal did not pass, he would rather see all of the lanes kept. Mucci said he thought bowling lanes would interrupt activities at the proposed stage or at the computer lab.
"It's like you're in bed with an elephant," Mucci said. "You can pretend it's not there, but it will get in the way of other activities. I think the alternative is feasible. I just don't think it is the most advantageous plan."
The debate and decision on the issue lasted almost two and a half hours.
KU center to rewrite state science tests

Kansan staff writer
The next step toward bringing the State Board of Education's controversial science standards into the classroom will be taken by — of all places — the University of Kansas.
Although the University consistently has opposed the State Board of Education's August decision to de-emphasize evolution in the state's science education standards, the Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation's contract with the Board requires it to write tests based on the new science standards.
The center, which has written tests for the Board since 1880, expects to have new tests completed by January.
sanity. The University has expressed so much opposition to the new standards that Board member Linda Holloway said she thought the University was campaigning against her. She said constituents had
complained to her that they were offended by the University's attacks on the the standards and didn't want their children to attend the University.
This puts the Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation in an awkward position. John Poggio, co-director of the center, said he appreciated the irony. The standards are controversial, he said, but it's the professional responsibility
The evolution debate
of the center's staff to build tests to match the standards.
The evolution debate
"We're bound by contract." Poggio said. "If we found them totally flawed, we might refuse, but we're finding nothing outlandish that we can't professionally build tests for. They haven't crossed the boundary into the irrational."

Two students arrested for drug possession charges
The KU Public Safety Office arrested three suspects — including two KU students — after finding drugs in their vehicle around 2 a.m. Feb. 5 near 14th Street and Alumni Place.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said the suspects' pickup was stopped in a routine traffic stop for carrying unlawful riders in the back. After approaching the pick-up, an officer spotted what he believed to be a bag of marijuana in the cab. Mailen said.
"It escalated from that," Mailen said. Mailen said two of the suspects were KU students, ages 21 and 22. The other individual arrested was 22.
Ian Tice, Topeka freshman, was one of several Stephenson Scholarship Hall residents who watched the arrest. Tice said several people already were handcuffed when he went outside. After searching the truck, police recovered several bags of marijuana, Tice said.
Mailen said the suspects could face charges of obstruction of legal process, possession of marjuana, tax-stamp violations, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of narcotics and possession of narcotics with intent to sell.
Information regarding the arrests has been forwarded to the Douglas County District Attorney's Office.

Former student falls at construction site
A 21-year-old former KU student remained in critical condition yesterday afternoon after falling nearly four stories early Saturday at a campus construction site.
Andrew Witkow, a Lawrence resident originally from Wayne, Neb., fell about 40 feet from scaffolding at the construction site for Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall, said KU Public Safety Office Lt. Schuyler Bailey.
Witkowski and another man entered the fenced construction site and climbed scaffolding on the exterior of the building, Bailey said. The two men then climbed into the building, where Witkowski fell about 40 feet through an open area, Bailey said. He said a call came into the KU
He said a can came into the no Public Safety Office at 1:12 a.m.

Witkowski was transported by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and then to the University of Kansas
Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
Bailey said police were unable to determine whether alcohol had been involved in the accident, but they would follow up on that possibility.
The site belongs to B.A. Green and Associates L.C., a Lawrence construction company, which will not examine the site for damage until today. Bailey said.
Bailey said that a criminal report would be filed today in Douglas County District Court, but it would be up to the court to formally charge the two men for criminal trespassing.

Restraining method will be suspended
STATE
HUTCHINSON — Reno County youth correctional authorities have suspended use of a restraining technique that led to both of a teenager's arms being broken, and prosecutors are investigating the matter.
The 15-year-old boy, from nearby Harvey County, suffered two broken arms on Jan. 30 when two Reno County Detention Center correctional officers attempted to restrain him, Director Bill Hermes said Friday.
It was the second time since June 1998 that a juvenile being held in the detention center has suffered a broken arm by a staff member using what Hermes called the "clamp" technique.
The clamp is a technique in which law enforcement officers grab a person's wrist and arm and apply pressure to the shoulder to get the person on the ground.
The teen-ager was placed in the hold by the officers after he became aggressive and threatening toward staff members, Hermes said. He was taken to Hutchinson Hospital immediately after the incident and remained there until Feb. 5.

Better treatment for the troops is a matter of growing importance and urgency, in the view of Defense Secretary William Cohen and the service chiefs.
IMF chief gets pie in the face in protest
WORLD
BANGKOK, Thailand — Government officials argued, protesters marched and a demonstrator threw a pie at the chief of the International Monetary Fund yesterday during a trade summit that had been toted as a peaceful meeting of rich and poor nations.
One chapter of the economic order came to an end as Michel Camdessus, the IMF's managing director, made a final speech to the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development before his retirement today. He said economic globalization did not threaten poor nations because foreign investment would help reduce gaps in wealth.
But many developing countries argue they are being left behind as the benefits of economic globalization are spread unequally among the world's people.

10,000 couples marry at mass wedding
SEOUL, South Korea — For most brides, a wedding without a bride-groom would be difficult to imagine. But Lee Hwa-shin said she couldn't be happier, even though she and her future husband were married without ever having met.
Lee was among 10,000 couples who tied the knot yesterday in a mass wedding organized by the Unification Church of Rev. Sun Myung Moon. The vast majority of the newly weds were complete strangers matched by church officials.
Lee, a 20-year-old South Korean design student, held a framed picture of her new husband, Tokumasa Yamashita, in a black suit. She said Yamashita, a 20-year-old Japanese man studying computer engineering in the United States, couldn't get a visa in time to attend.

Poetry highlights BSU show
Bv Kandwa Kankondo

Kansan staff writer
Music, poetry, hand-clapping and a liberal dose of groans and sighs from a highly receptive audience formed the recipe for Talent Showcase 2000 Saturday evening.
The showcase was the second talent show organized by Black Student Union in two years.
"The show was wonderful," said Terrrell McTyer, Kansas City, Mo. senior and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity member. McTyer directed a 30-member choir, the Inspirational Gospel Voices.
Natalie Lucas, BSU president, said the students' performances tied in with the theme for African-American History Month — "The
Past. The Present. The Future."
Lucas said BSU was solely responsible for this year's show, unlike last year's show, which received financial and technical assistance from Phi Beta Sigma. She said BSU wanted to do things differently this year to show that the organization was coming of age.
The show led off with "Oh How I Love You," a song received with ohs by the mostly African-American crowd. Fewer than 10 people of other races turned up for the show, held at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Other music followed.
Derise Young, Derby freshman,
recited two original poems that
glorified womanhood.
Her poetry delivered a judgment against male chauvinism and world religions that upheld male gods
including Christ. If it was the woman who turned the world upside down in the beginning only a woman's power could put the same world right way up, she said.
"I write poetry to express my feelings and thoughts," she said. "I enjoy writing poetry. I like to write about the way females are getting treated or abused."
However, it was Jacole Kitchen, Lawrence junior, who sent the males into wild groans and had her fellow women clapping or covering their mouths in shock at her sexually charged poems.
Kitchen said her poems "Just Us Two" and "The State of Love" were both fantasies.
Roderick Williams, father of Young and one of the about 220-member audience, said that the show was fun.
Women seek to empower by talking about the vagina
By Jessie Meyer

Kansas staff writer
"Vagina!"
Julie DePauw, Chesterfield, Mo.
sophomore, shouted the word as she
entered the Hashinger Hall theater,
and The Vagina Monologues began.
The play was based on a collection of interviews conducted by Eve Ensler, the author of the book The Vagina Monologues. Ensler talked to women of all ages from around the world during the last three years and asked them all about their vaginas.
Praying
The play explored what and where the vagina is, why it is seldom talked about, and why become open and honest about this female organ could be empowering to both men and women.
"Just look at the way women are taught to sit with their legs crossed and hands folded over their legs," said DePauw, the coordinator of this rendition of the play. "We sit like we are x-ing off something, and this play says 'no, X marks the spot and there is a treasure there."
The monologues, performed yesterday afternoon, were re-enactments of the interviews Enser conducted. Each was performed by an actor or a small group of actors from the University of Kansas.

"Our sexuality is very important and something we should acknowledge," DePauw said. "I say the word vagina because I want to someday feel comfortable saying it and not feel ashamed and guilty."
The play posed questions — such as what the vagina would say if it could talk or what it would wear if it were exposed — to the audience of about 65 men and women in a poignant, yet sometimes comical, manner.
Although the vagina was the focus of the play, not having a vagina also played an important role.
David Utter, Minneapolis, Kan,
freshman, performed a monologue
entitled "...And I don't have a vagina."
"I can relate to my character." Utter said of his submissive male role. "It is

Award Presenter
A Lied Center crowd of nearly 2,000 erupted in applause with the announcement that three sororities received the Chapter Excellence Award at the 11th Annual Greek Recognition Night last night.
Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta sororities received the award honoring overall chapter success. All three sororities received the award last year as well.
No fraternities qualified for the top honor, but three received honorable mentions.
Awards ranging from outstanding grade point average to alcohol management were presented during Greek Recognition Night at the Lied Center. People in the community also were recognized for their support of the University of Kansas greek organizations. Photo by Melissa Thornton/KANSAN
Megan Migliazzo, Leawood freshman and Chi Omega member, said the excellence award was important for her house.
"I'm proud of all the chapters," said Bill Nelson, director of geek programs. "The award is a good incentive for them to work hard."
"It's great to get recognized in front of all these people, and it's incentive to work even harder," Migliazzo said. "With this top award, they'll have a little advantage during rush because that's what they show you — all of the awards and things."
The award for chapter excel
lence is based on an application detailing a specific set of qualifications that determines the winners and includes a log book of events in which the chapter participated.
"It is an award that is earned, not awarded," Nelson said. "The chapters keep a log of achievements and any of the chapters
who qualify will win the award." Every chapter that submits an application and book is eligible for the award. All 13 sororities and 11 of the 23 fraternities
applied.
applied. The Chapter Excellence Award was one of 28 categories of awards presented to Panhellenic and Interfraternity chapters and individual members at the program. Other awards were for leadership, community service, academic excellence and participation in the greek community.
"It's a night of surprises and recognition," Nelson said. "It's very rewarding."
Billy Short, Oxford freshman and Phi Delta Theta fraternity member, said recognition night was important for his fraternity because of the positive acknowledgment involved.
"It's a big deal for us," Short said of his fraternity, which placed second among fraternities for grade point average at the event. "It's important for us to do well tonight."
Six alumni and five faculty members also were recognized.
Thomas E. Mulinazzi, associate dean of the School of Engineering, received the Order of Omega Outstanding Faculty Award for excellence in education.
The greek programs also gave a $5,000 philanthropy award to Health Care Access Inc. to be used for providing more health care options in Douglas County.

University needs to cooperate with federal drug investigation
On Feb. 1, the Kansas City Star reported that allegations involving drug deals had been made against some Kansas football players and fraternity members. Chad Pollard, one of many accused in a Kansas City drug trafficking case, was denied bond after an FBI agent testified that since 1996 Pollard had supplied drugs to members of the Kansas football team, as well as to various fraternity members.
Coupled with the Friday's arrest of former football walk-on Tywanne Aldridge for allegedly attempting to purchase cocaine from an undercover officer, this incident signals a problem. The University of Kansas should cooperate with this investigation so that all allegations can be dealt with quickly and completely.
Athletics department officials should not dismiss allegations
Bob Frederick, athletics director promptly stated that the University had no knowledge of the alleged involvement and that the article came as surprise. It's true that student athletes are subject to year-round drug testing and that the Big 12 Conference tests for drugs, too — often during the academic year.
Frederick and other University officials should not automatically dismiss these allegations. If the University requires its athletes to be drug-free, it should be willing to cooperate with an investigation about the enforcement — or lack thereof — of
such a policv.
The established drug screening system ideally serves as insurance that an individual will not partake of illegal drugs, even for recreation. However, there is a detoxification market all of its own, and the results of drug tests may not always be 100 percent accurate. The results of this investigation may call for reforming the drug testing system.
Regardless of one's views, KU athletes have entered committed to being drug-free. And whether these allegations turn out to be true about any KU student, it's unfortunate that the question even has arisen.
For now, however, all the University can do is offer its cooperation with the FBI investigation.

Halls should be reserved for needy
Miller and Watkins scholarship halls should be reserved for deserving students in financial need. These residences can be used as a recruiting tool to draw in National Merit Scholars; however, this is not in line with their original purpose. The University's primary obligation should be to respect the wishes of Elizabeth Miller Watkins.
The scholarship hall trust was established to maintain living quarters for any women in financial need who wanted to obtain an education at University of Kansas. This also can be seen as a recruiting tool, attracting high-profile students such as National Merit Scholars with the possibility of living in these halls. Some claim that all students benefit by this because it
University obligated to honor the original intentions of Elizabeth Miller Watkins
improves the academic image of our university.
The halls were intended for something more substantial than a public relations tool. There are many other institutions that provide for the wellbeing of the high-profile students. Miller and Watkins halls have the unique duty to first help financially disadvantaged students.
Most importantly, we must recognize the wishes of Elizabeth Watkins as the deciding factor in how the scholarship halls are administered. Several
Watkins residents filed objections in Douglas County District Court, and a hearing has been set for April 14, at which time the trustees of the trust will respond to the objections. In the April hearings, the strongest criticism of residence hall policy will be how it has departed from Watkins' original intentions.
We are lucky to have the support of philanthropists for institutions such as Miller and Watkins scholarship halls. The University could not offer as many opportunities to economically disadvantaged students without the help of people like Elizabeth Miller Watkins. We should respect her wishes and provide these residences — with top priority — to the most needy female students.

Students not motivated to excel on assessments
The second flawed measure is comparison to Asian students. Although it seems necessary to compare the United States to other countries, it is unfair to do so in the realm of education. I understand the need to be able to compete with other students in different countries — the opportunity to have the same base of knowledge is deemed important. But using Asian students as a measure for American students' levels of education is like comparing apples and oranges.
Rupali
Limaye
columnist
poisson@kansan.co
Students in Asia almost always will do better in any tests compared to those in the United States. What's the reason? Competition, Whereas students in the United States can get into a state college with relative ease, it is not the case in many Asian countries. Some kids have to study seriously in high school to obtain their goals, such as placing in the top 10 percent of their classes. Only then will they have the opportunity to receive scholarships, which is key to continuing their education. It is financially impossible for many of these students to attend college without a scholarship.
Members of Generation X and Y have been lectured time and time again about how far behind the rest of the world they are in education. They constantly are told that they score significantly lower than their Asian counterparts, especially in the areas of math and reading.
This seems to be one variable that indicates why reading scores are so low. Because none of us cared about taking them, we really didn't try to do our best. Therefore, using the assessment as the means to analyze reading abilities is not entirely accurate. A solution that may solve this is to make these assessments worth a grade, something my honors English teacher did, and it worked.
Perspective
So yes, students in Asia may seem smarter than those in the United States, but it is unreasonable to compare the two. They have to score higher on their assessment tests simply to beat out other students for the top spots. This incorrect base of analysis isn't the Legislature's fault — it is the fault of the studies that use these two standards to measure students' abilities.
A recent study concluded that only 40 to 50 percent of U.S. students are at the level of proficiency in reading and math, while students in Asia are scoring, at the very low end, about 70 percent.
Praveen K. Srinivasan
The 2000 Kansas legislative session began just a few weeks ago, and legislators already have started proposing plans for one of the most important reforms in the session: education. Although there are several proposals to choose from.
an or them seem to base their reforms on two things: assessment tests and a comparison to Asian education systems. And this isn't just in Kansas; national studies are using the same two gauges to determine measures for reform.
I'm not an expert in education reform, so I certainly don't have a detailed solution. However, the criteria used by legislators and researchers when making education policy is flawed.
Although these plans are constructed with good intentions and qualified research, the basis used to determine proficiency is inaccurate. By using assessment tests to determine a student's level of ability, accuracy is undermined. And the comparison of students to those in Asia also is not effective.
so the state had some statistics on students in different districts. I definetly was not the only one who didn't really care how I did on them; that was the general consensus of the whole class.
First, let's look at assessment tests. In grade school, after I took a long test, I was ranked on a scale of one to five. But I wasn't the only one who had to take these tests. Students all across Kansas were taking them, and this was how our levels of proficiency were evaluated. I remember thinking that the tests were a waste of time, and I never really cared because they weren't for a grade; it was just something we had to do

Feedback
University's duty is to teach social values
As an undergraduate, I attended a small Catholic liberal arts school that had a very strict policy against alcohol on campus. However, the college regularly scheduled events for the entire school (dances, dinners, etc.) during which alcohol was served. All students attended, and most drank, including minors.
2) The role of the University is to form the whole person, not simply the intellect, of the student. During these four (or more) years, each student will engage in activities which will develop his or her character for the better part of his life. A very important habit to form is that of drinking responsibly. Just as important is learning the acceptable cultural and social uses of alcohol. By supervising events that serve alcohol, the University imparts to the student important lessons in temperance.
1) One might say the University acts in loco parentis for the students. Accordingly, just as minors legally can drink at home under the supervision of their parents, so, too, can minors drink on campus when supervised by University agents.
An example of this was seen at the February 4 Rock Chalk Ball. Jim O'Malley reported that a student, after his third glass of wine, was told by a scholarship counselor to stop drinking. The counselor, acting as the University's agent, communicated to the student that there is a limit to the number of drinks one should have at a social event. Hopefully, that student will remember his lesson and utilize it after leaving the University.
Why did the school allow this activity? (No, not because it was run by Irish Catholics). Below I have outlined two theories, both of which apply to the University of Kansas as well. Minor students can drink at the University under two theories.
If the University of Kansas bans events that teach the virtues of social drinking, it neglects its educational duty.

McCain a friend to corporations
Although I wholly agree with
Brian Tongier Lawrence senior
Like Bill Clinton — the "Man From Hope" with a long history of collaboration with big business — McCain will engage in "business as usual" should he win the White House.
During the Savings and Loan Scandals of the late 1980s, McCain was a prominent member of the "Keating Five." These five senators (Cranston, DeConcini, Glenn, Riegle, and McCain) pressured federal regulators to leave the savings and loan industry alone as it proceeded to run up a debt that cost taxpayers $2.5 billion to bail out. The Keating Five received more than $1.3 million in campaign contributions as a result.
Evolution is flawed
Professor Buechner wrote in a recent letter that "the scientific community overwhelmingly is (100 percent in a 1980 poll) behind evolution, ever since the discovery of chromosomal segregation provided a mechanism for it."
This year, McCain has received appreciable donations from Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms. Although McCain may not seem to be as servile to moneyed interests as "Dubya" is to the oil industry or Bradley is to Wall Street, he is nonetheless a pro-business politician with a history of bowing to corporate America's will.
Mike Loader's assessment of "Dubya" in his Feb. 10 column, his judgement of John McCain as "not necessarily ... [a] corrupt pawn of big money" is quite inaccurate.
Professor Beuchner is obviously not well read, as there are many biologists, biochemists, chemists and mathematicians who see the theory of neo-Darwinian evolution as flawed, if not completely unworkable.
For example, Jerry Coyne, of the department of ecology and evolution at the University of Chicago, stated that "We conclude — unexpectedly — that there is little evidence for the neo-Darwinian view; its theoretical foundations and the experimental evidence supporting it are weak."
Lynn Margulis, distinguished university professor of biology at the University of Massachusetts, states that history will view neo-Darwinian theory as "a minor twentieth
century religious sect within the sprawling religious persuasion of Anglo-Saxon biology."
Contrary to what Professor Buechner would have people believe, the theory of evolution is still a point of scientific debate and the full complexities concerning the diversity of biological life have not been solved. I dispute the theory of evolution, not upon ideological grounds, but on the grounds that the theory, as it stands, is far from being able to explain the conclusions that its proponents so vehemently defend.
As a participant in basketball intramurals, I am writing to express my concern about an unfortunate incident on the night of Feb. 8.
For what our team lacks in athletic ability, we make up for in sportsmanship, dedication, heart and side-splitting fun. We are popular for our half-court shots, three-man half- and five-on-one defense.
Matthew M. Hastings Leawood sophomore
Our team was kicked out of Robinson Center and forced to forfeit the second half of our game for one simple reason — we didn't play by the "standards" expected by the director of intramurals. Although the opposing team, the officials and the scorekeepers had no problem with our style of play, one person's agenda dictated our doom, and we were given the boot.
Heart and dedication better than talent
In addition, our friends and family were not allowed to watch us play our game. That's right, our fans were banned from Robinson, the building they pay to use every semester.
It seems crazy to me that authorities at Robinson are driven to ban a team for having a good time, while testosterone-crazed teams with too much competitive juices are much more prone to initiate confrontations. Above all else, we have fun, but fun is not allowed in Robinson these days.

Despite the cold weather, about 100 people and 70 dogs turned out at South Park, 1200 block of Massachusetts Street, yesterday afternoon for the Pooch Walk, a fund-raising event for breast cancer.
Bundled up in coats, hats and gloves, walkers collected $1,750 in donations for the walk, which was part of Breast Cancer Fundraiser 2000. One KU alumna, University students and organizations organized the fund-raiser. The money raised was donated to Breast Cancer Inc. and the American Cancer Society. Both organizations will use the money for local programs. Organizers said they were pleased with the turnout.
"This exceeded our expectations," said Heather Mackler, a 1998 KU graduate and organizer. "I was surprised we raised that much money since it was so cold."
She said there was a diverse
group made up of KU students high school students and members of the community.
Many participants heard about the Pooch Walk at Bone Appetit, 125 E. 10th St., and thought it was a good excuse to walk their dogs. Mackler got the idea of having a Pooch Walk from her stepmother, Susan Mackler, who owns a Bone Appetit in Naperville, Ill., and loves dogs.
"I'm always looking for something to do with my dog," said Kelsey Roberts, Dodge Center, Minn., first-year law student. "And breast cancer is one of the more worthwhile causes."
Anne Sobba and Sunshine Vanderbilt, juniors at Baker University, brought their dogs, Candy and Jackson, to the walk. Candy, a brown cocker spaniel, wore a blue and red sweater to keep warm. Several other dogs wore coats and scarves as well.
"We thought it would be fun to come out and take our dogs on a walk." Sobba said. "Our friend's mother was diagnosed
with breast cancer recently."
Walkers could chose a one mile route or a three mile route. While walking, several participants had to deal with their dogs sitting down, straying off the sidewalks to sniff their surroundings or smelling the other dogs. Organizers gave walkers pooper scoop bags, which some used.
A rest point at Bone Appetit allowed participants to catch their breath and for dogs to get snacks and water.
Heather Elliott, Bonner Springs senior, and her golden Labrador, Nikko, stopped there for a break.
She said she thought Pooch Walk was a great idea.

Natalie Ralston, a senior at Lawrence High School, was crowned Miss Lawrence 2000 Saturday night.
She said that she would continue the family tradition of attending the University of Kansas and earning a degree in music.
"My mom and dad met at KU," she said. "My dad was the chorale director there when they met."
Her musical background played a large part in her winning the crown.
Her family was named the 1999 Kansas Musical Family of the Year by the Kansas Federated Music Clubs. Her father is a professor emeritus of music at the University. Her mother teaches music in the Lawrence public
schools, and her sister, Meghan,
a KU sophomore, plays the oboe.
Raisten's talent was singing Handel's "Let the Bright Scraphim" from the opera Sompson.
Ralston received the highest score of the eight contestants — five of whom were KU students — in the talent competition, which accounted for 40 percent of the contestant's score. For placing first in the talent competition, she won a $250 scholarship from CEK Real Estate, 1011 Westdale Rd.
Winning the Miss Lawrence pageant also gave Ralston a $1,000 scholarship from J.C. Penney Co. Inc. of Lawrence, 3311 Iowa St., and the opportunity to give back to her community.
"I've lived in Lawrence my whole life," she said. "So I'm looking forward to going out in the community and speaking to youth groups."
Ralston's platform focused on
preventing youth smoking, an idea she got from her father.
"The man dearest to my heart smoked for 30 years," Ralston told judges during the interview and evening wear competition. "Last May, he had quadruple bypass surgery, and I believe that smoking contributed to that. I want to help young people never begin smoking. I wish someone had done that for my father."
She said she probably would become active with the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program.
After the pageant, Ralston was greeted by a chorus of congratulations from her family and friends.
"I'm just so thrilled," said her mother, Susan. "She's worked so hard for this."
Ralston will compete for the Miss Kansas crown in June in Pratt.
The loudest applause of the evening, aside from the announcement of Miss
Lawrence, came after Raheisha Nard, Topeka junior, read her poem "I Could be a Beauty Queen." The poem made light of the stereotypes that girls in beauty pageants face.
Hilary Meyer, Pratt junior,
was first runner-up and
received a $750 scholarship from
the Jayhawk Chapter of Quail
Unlimited.
Allisa Guy, Lawrence freshman, was second runner-up and won a $500 scholarship from Central National Bank of Lawrence.
Rebecca Stammer, St. Louis freshman, was third runner-up and won a $250 scholarship from Stephens Real Estate, 2701 W. Sixth St. She also was named Miss Congeniality and received a $100 scholarship from Stage Pro, 720 E. Ninth St., Suite 1.
Sara Horken, Lawrence freshman, won the Kansas University Leadership Award, which is a $500 scholarship given by the University.
KU center involved in writing new state science tests
Continued from page 1A
Doug Glasnapp, the center's other co-director, said he didn't see any problem with the center's role in writing tests for the science standards. He said the center's role is a technical one — to draft assessments to test what the elected board had decided should be tested.
Poggio said the responsibility or deciding what to test for is with the elected Board. "Ultimately, it's in the voters' hands," he said.
But Poggio said there might be
one obstacle to writing the science tests. The center usually brings in teachers and higher education faculty to help write tests for the Board. But he said that this time, there might be some difficulty finding science educators to work with the center.
Steve Case, director of the Kansas Collaborative Research Network, has opposed the Board's position on evolution since it rejected the standards proposed by the committee of science educators appointed by the Board. Case served on the committee.
He said the contract was worth a lot to the center — about $80,000.
"But I'm kind of hoping that given KU's involvement that they'll say no and not support these standards." Case said.
Matt Buechner, assistant profes sor of molecular biosciences, has defended evolution on public television, but said he didn't think KU should try to get out of the contract.
"KU shouldn't try to subvert the will of the Board, as much as I disagree with what the Board did," he said. "The solution is to elect a
new board. No matter what we feel about the state board, we owe it to the children in school to give them the best assessments possible based on the standards."
Buechner said it might be difficult to come up with appropriate questions for some of the standards. The standards call for students to evaluate the evidence against evolution.
"The question would be OK if the answer were "There is none," he said.
Joe Heppert, associate professor of chemistry, is vice-chairman of
the Chancellor's Science Education Task Force. He said he couldn't speak for the task force, but the standards and the tests were important because they set priorities and put pressure on teachers to teach what will be tested
"It's very important for the public to understand that although the state board has not formally outlawed the teaching of the fundamental concepts of cosmology, earth history and macro-evolution, they are setting the priority very far down," he said.

Senior awarded Javits fellowship
By John Audlehelm
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Brian Tongier, Lawrence senior and sociology major, has won a Jacob K. Javits Fellowship for as much as $25,000 a year for four years of graduate study in the arts, humanities and social sciences.
Tongier said he would study sociology in graduate school and probably would specialize in organizational policy and research.
"I've applied to about 11 places right now, so it's really open," he said.
He is not considering staying at the University of Kansas. Instead, Tongler said he was looking seriously at Princeton University, the University of California-Los Angeles, the university of Wisconsin at Madison and the University of Indiana at Bloomington.
Javits fellows receive federally funded need-based cash stipends for as much as $15,000 a year; the graduate school of the student's choice receives $10,000 a year for
tuition and fees. Tongier is the fourth KU student to receive the fellowship since the program began in 1985.
"I am happy to congratulate Brian in winning a Javits fellowship." Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a statement to University Relations. "He is an outstanding scholar with a strong commitment to community and others."
Brian ranks with the finest undergraduate students that I have had the pleasure to work with in my 28 years at KU," said Robert Antonio, professor of sociology and Tongier's adviser, also in a statement to University Relations.
Tongier attended the University of Minnesota his freshman year but transferred to KU as a sophomore. Tongier has worked with Habitat for Humanity for six years and was an intern at Kansas Legal Services in Topeka. He won a summer 1999 undergraduate research award to examine how state governments define the success of welfare reform.
Serving on juries mandatory for all county residents
Student status doesn't lift duty
By Mindie Miller
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
When Leslie Klosterhoff found a letter in her mailbox last semester summoning her to Wichita for jury duty, she did what a lot of students would do — she called her father to see if
— she called her father to see if it was a mistake.
"it was surprising," said Klosterhoff, Hutchinson senior. "I always assumed they wouldn't send notices out to students because of their schedules."
Her dad told her that full-time students could be exempt from serving on juries. So she found a place at the bottom of the summons where she could enter a valid excuse for why she could not serve.
"I wrote that I was currently a student at the University of Kansas and said that I couldn't serve because it wouldn't fit into my curriculum," Klosterhoff said. "I'm graduating this year,
She hasn't heard anything from the court. But other University students called to jury duty might not be so lucky.
so class is too important to skip."
"The bottom line is, the fact that you're a student is not sufficient grounds for you to get out of jury duty," said Braxton Copley, staff attorney for Legal Services for Students. "You can be fined up to $100 per day unless you can show reasonable cause for not showing up."
students are eligible to serve jury duty in Douglas County if they are registered to vote here or have a Kansas driver's license with a Douglas County address.
Douglas County district court administrator Linda Koester. Vogelsang said jury pools were randomly selected by a computerized case-management system. Then the court sends out a juror questionnaire and a summons to each person selected.
District attorney Christine Tonkovich said that although potential jurors were welcome to request exemption, most students were deferred rather than excused.
"I would expect students would be passed to another month," she said. "If they get called in April or May when finals are coming
up, they might be passed on until the summer."
The University policy for students called to jury duty says that because it is a civic responsibility, the University will not ask that students be excused from serving. If a student's request to be excused is rejected by the court, University policy requires the student to contact the dean of the school in which he or she is enrolled. Policy requires instructors to allow students to make up assignments and exams missed because of jury duty.
However, if the jury trial on which a student was sitting went long enough to have an adverse effect on the student's performance in class, he or she would be allowed to withdraw from the class without penalty. The withdrawal includes a full refund of tuition and applicable fees.
"The policy recognizes that we, as a University, need to make accommodations for students who have been called to fulfill this civic duty." Copley said.
The district court's policy is to dismiss students if serving on a jury would put them in academic leopardy.
Tonkovich said most jury trials in Douglas County lasted from one to three days. The longest
one she could remember lasted a week and a half.
A separate policy for faculty members and other University employees called as jurors or witnesses in trials mandates that they be granted leave with pay. They also are allowed to keep the modest rate — $10 per day — that the court pays all jurors.
But Klosterhoff said juror's pay would not have been worth the drive to Wichita.
"I would have done it," she said. "The only problem with doing it is that if it's held over for trial, and you're selected to be on a jury, then you're on call. If that happened, I'd be up a creek."

Like many high school graduates, Daniel Vallez aspired to a college degree. But it's been a long road since high school graduation in 1992. Army basic training. Two community colleges in Pennsylvania and California. Finally, the University of Colorado at Boulder.
There, a corporate internship juiced his resume but slowed his progress. A jugger of jobs, Vallez once felt tempted to chuck school altogether — for boxing. He lost half a year switching schools: on paper, a dropout.
College, Vallez said, is about finding your path. His ranged far and long, reflecting an increasingly varied college experience for thousands of students.
Now Vallez has added coursework for a master's in engineering while completing a bachelor's in business. He expects to reach for those diplomas when he's 27.
Experts say college is no longer four
years at one alma mater. Since the mid-1970s, it takes an average of five years to earn a bachelor's degree. A majority of college students attend two schools or more. Some discover college isn't what they expected or want. Many quite to work full time, go abroad to study, get married. And then, like Vallez, many return. They're called "stopouts."
A federal survey begun in 1980 followed 10th graders until 1993, to about age 30. An analysis found that, among those who had attended a four-year college, 63 percent hold at least a bachelor's degree. That's a fuller picture than the often-cited college dropout rate: Roughly 40 to 50 percent of students fall to finish in five years.
"The concept of dropout in higher education is thoroughly pass," said Clifford Adelman, a senior research analyst at the Education Department in Washington. His study "Answers in the Toolbox" released last year exploded popular notions about college attendance.
people are in and out of the system in a long period of time. That is our new pattern of life," Adelman said.
This trend is largely explained by the increasing availability — and necessity
— of a college degree.
The "higher education system has grown tremendously in 30 or 40 years," said Professor Vincent Tinto, chairman of the higher education program at Syracuse University.
There are more options and more students, including many with less money and less educational preparation than in previous generations. In fact, many can only afford college by alternating work and school. Some attend less costly two-year community colleges, then transfer.
School also can take longer when students switch majors and need to earn more credits. Some undergraduate programs, such as in pharmacy, require five years or more.
The 1991 Student Right-to-Know Act requires schools that receive federal funds to report how many students complete degrees within six years. U.S. News & World Report uses the six year cutoff to rank schools in its annual report "America's Best Colleges."
While patterns of college attendance are changing, the ideal of a relatively straight college route persists. Yet, with a nod to the newer trend, the benchmark is now six years for a bachelor's degree.

Prisoner seeks $1 million for lost confiscated property
TOPEKA — A former prison guard convicted of sex crimes against children claims the state owes him more than $1 million for a lost coin collection.
Albert Brinkman, serving time in an Arizona prison, said Kansas agents improperly seized his coin collection and then lost most of it. His petition, filed Thursday in Shawnee County District Court, seeks the return of the coins or more than $1 million in compensation.
Brinkman was convicted in March 1997 of two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, two counts of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a minor.
Kansas officials aren't contesting Brinkman's allegation that the state is responsible for his missing property. They just don't know what they owe him.
Brinkman, 44, provided state officials with an itemized list of all the coins and estimated values, but a legislative committee that considers claims against the state
said it needed more than just his word. His attorney, Brian T. Johnson, said Brinkman never had the collection appraised or insured.
There was no individual inventory of the number or condition of the coins contained in the 16 books of collectible coins listed on the Kansas Department of Revenue evidence sheet.
the legislative committee recently rejected Brinkman's request for $1.7 million — the value he placed on the missing coin collection.
The department assumes the confiscated property was stolen during an overnight robbery of its property room Sept. 16, 1996.
Although Brinkman won't be eligible for parole until 2028, he had hoped to use the coin collection to provide for his three sons, his lawyer said.
Johnson said the problems stemmed from an inventory done on the property seized from Brinkman's Leavenworth home on March 4,1996.
"He has no other way to support them," Johnson said.

'Peanuts' creator Schulz dies at 77
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — "Peanuts" creator Charles M. Schulz died on Saturday, turning his farewell note in yesterday's papers into an epitaph for both a comic strip and its creator.
Schulz was 77, and died in his sleep at about 9:45 p.m. at his home in Santa Rosa, Calif., said his son, Craig Schulz.
He was diagnosed with colon cancer and suffered a series of small strokes during emergency abdominal surgery in November 1999. He announced his retirement a few weeks afterward.
Schulz had seemed fine earlier in the day and had gone to his daughter Jill Transki's home in Santa Rosa, Calif. Only his wife, Jeanie, was with him when he died, Craig Schulz said.
His wildly popular "Peanuts" made its debut on Oct. 2, 1950. The travails of the "little round-headed kid" and his pals eventually ran in
more than 2,600 newspapers, reaching millions of readers in 75 countries.
His last strip, appearing in yesterday's newspaper editions, showed Snoopy at his typewriter and other Peanuts regulars along with a "Dear Friends" letter thanking his readers for their support.
100 YEARS OF ALIVE
"I have been grateful over the years for
the loyalty of our editors and the wonderful support and love expressed to me by fans of the comic strip." Schulz wrote "Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy ... how can I ever forget them ..."
It ended with his signature.
One of the most endearing qualities of "Peanuts" was its constancy.
The long-suffering Charlie Brown still faced misfortune with a mild, "Good grief!" Tart-tongued Lucy still handed out advice at a nickel a pop, a joke that started as a parody of a lemonade stand. And Snoopy, Charlie Brown's wise-beet-weed beagle, still took the occasional flight of fancy back to the skies of World War I and his rivalry with the Red Baron.
Schulz was born in St. Paul, Minn., on Nov. 26, 1922, and studied art after he saw a "Do you like to draw" ad.
He was drafted into the Army in 1943 and sent to the European theater, although he saw little combat.
After the war, he did lettering for a church comic book, taught art and sold cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post. His first feature, "Li'l Folks," was developed for the St. Paul Pioneer Press in 1947. In 1950, it was sold to a syndicate and the named changed to "Peanuts," even though, he recalled later, he didn't much like the name.
CHARLES SCHULZ ON CARTOONING
"I have never regarded children as my main audience. The real fans are adults...for they have memories of what it was like to be a child, and can appreciate "Peanuts" much more deeply than can the youngsters."
"You can't create humor out of happiness. I'm astonished at the number of people who write to me saying, "Why does Charlie Brown always have to lose? Why can't you let him kick the football?" Well, there is nothing funny about the person who gets to kick the football."
From "Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Me" (1980)
He was to have been honored with a lifetime achievement award on May 27 at the National Cartoonists Society convention in New York.
Reformers full of conflict after Ventura leaves party
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ross Perot's Reform Party ousted party chairman Jack Gargan, an ally of Jesse Ventura, during a Saturday showdown that exploded almost immediately with raw hostility and scuffling. At one point, local police threatened to shut down the proceedings, organizers said.
The committee, ousted Gargan by a 109-31 vote. They voted to replace him with Pat Chote, who was Perot's running mate in his failed 1966 bid for the U.S. presidency, by a 101-29 margin.
doesn't surprise me. That's why I made the decision I made yesterday."
Ventura, the governor of Minnesota who quit the party Friday after branding the party dysfunctional, was not mentioned during the meeting.
Ventura noted that Gargan had won the chairmanship fair and square last July. Gargan said after the meeting in Nashville that the cards were stacked against him.
"Democracy can be messy, can't it?" said Donna Donovan, representative for the Perot faction.
Of the action in Nashville, Ventura said Saturday: "It saddens me, but it
"This was a sham." he said.
This is as follows:
At one point, a Perot ally rushed the front of the room and tried to unplug Gargan's microphone because he wouldn't call the meeting to order. A Gargan supporter slapped and pushed the woman to the floor, and two police officers separated, the two. The Gargan supporter was escorted from the room as it rang with members telling one another other to shut up and begin the meeting.
Israel, Palestine miss peace talk deadline
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — It was supposed to have been a day of clarity, the first time Israelis and Palestinians outlined the shape of a permanent, peaceful coexistence.
Instead, yesterday, the deadline for the framework of a final status agreement on the conflict's toughest issues Jerusalem, final borders and refugees — was a blur of recriminations and dire predictions for a peace process gone awry.
Palestinians accuse Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak of neglecting them to focus on talks with Syria; Israelis say Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is asking for too much, too soon.
Talks broke down early this month, and neither side knows when they will resume. The delay could jeopardize the Sept. 13 deadline Barak and Arafat have set for a full-fledged permanent agreement. And missing that date, both sides worry, could lead to a total peace breakdown.
Barak told his Cabinet yesterday that their responsibility was to try to reach arrangements by the end of this year. In an effort to get the Palestinians back to the table, Barak's chief negotiator said Israel was ready to concede a key Palestinian demand: a contiguous block of land in the West Bank, seen by the Palestinians as a crucial underpinning to a future state.

Valentine, Schmalentine
By Derek Prater
Kansan columnist
alentine's Day — Perhaps no holiday's true spirit has been perverted more by the rampant commercialism of modern American society.
Lovers are bombarded by the media with the pressure of forced, contrived romantic exchanges. Lost among the flowers, candlelight dinners, chocolates and Hallmark cards is the true spirit of Valentine's Day — it's a good excuse to spend time with that special someone.
Madison Avenue would have us believe that V-Day romantic gestures are a required homage to any relationship and that they should follow a set recipe. Start with a dozen red roses, add a candlelight dinner, mix in a Hallmark card and some sort of heart-shaped diamond and voila ... romance.
But real romance comes from a little creativity and individuality. So the Kansan enlisted a couple of Fine Arts students to suggest ideas for a Valentine that you won't find at Hallmark.
Tracy Huser, Fredonia junior, uses personal touches to make her Valentines special. This year, Huser is giving her boyfriend a mini-cassette tape that captures some of the intimacy of their relationship.
Huser designed a cover for the tape and recorded a poem, which she read herself, and a song on the tape.
Huser said that another Valentine's gift she had given before was a set of wine glasses that she had engraved with her and her boyfriend's names and the date.
Valentine. O'Campo said he would recommend picking out good pictures of your Valentine and you and scanning them into your computer. Then you could use a graphic design program to create a unique layout.
O'Campo also suggested a low-tech approach, using construction paper cutouts and colored pencils to create a design on paper.
"Valentine's Day is all about colors," O'Camo said. "Emotion and colors go together."
Instructions for creating your own Valentine's Day card:
What you need: Crayons, scissors, glue stick or tape, Kansas Valentine's Day card and the lucky Valentine.
What to do:
1. Cut out the heart from the center of the page.
2. Decide which message fits your Valentine and cut it out.
3. Attach the message to the card with glue or tape.
4. Decorate with crayons or as you see fit.
5. Deliver Valentine and run.
O'Campo said that the commercialism associated with Valentine's Day caused people to focus too much on a single day of romance.
"I think it shouldn't just be one day that you think about that other person, but it should be every day," he said. *
Heath O'Campo, Topeka senior, said the computer could be a good tool to create a personalized
Happy Valentine's Day

Cornhusker defense levels 'Hawks early
By Chris Fickett

Kansas sportswriter
LINCOLN, Neb. — Red is a tough color to clean. It takes elbow grease and a lot of time to remove.
The No. 23 Kansas women's basketball team had Cornhusher Red smeared across it in the first half of its 75-72 loss to Nebraska yesterday. The 'Huskers defense forced 17 first-half turnovers.
"If you want to point at where we lost the game, it was in the first half with our 17 turnovers. I don't know how many layups we
missed," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "But the 17 turnovers was the real difference for me. We made our way back at the end of the half, but that was what put them into position."
The loss dropped Kansas to 17-6 overall and 8-3 in the Big 12 Conference, which puts the 'Hawks in a tie for third place with Texas Tech. It also was the first time Nebraska, 12-10 overall and 6-5 in the league, has won the regular season series since 1988.

Jayhawks snap losing skid at K-State
By Shawn Hutchinson

Kansan sportswriter
MANHATTAN —Road woes? What road woes?
The Jayhawks shook off a month's worth of traveling frustration Saturday afternoon in Bramlage Coliseum, bullwhipping the Kansas State Wildcats. 94-65.
No. 20 Kansas notched its first road win since Jan. 17, extended its winning streak in Manhattan to 17 games, and kept its undefeated record in Bramlage Coliseum alive at 12-0.
"I don't really know what it is," said Kansas guard Jeff Boschee, when asked the secret of the Jayhawks' success in Wildcat country. "We should make this our home court."
The Hawks improved to 18-6 overall and 7-3 in the Big 12 Conference and were unwelcome visitors all afternoon.
"We've struggled lately, but we had a good one today," said Kansas coach Rov Williams.
That was a complete turnaround from the Jayhawks' last four road trips, when they put up little fight in losses at Missouri, Iowa State, Iowa and Oklahoma State.
So good, in fact, that the Jayhawks set Kansas records for most points scored and largest margin of victory in Manhattan.
In a dominant first half, Kansas jumped out to a 19-4 lead and were up 27 points at halftime. The lead eventually ballooned to 35 points in the second half before Kansas settled for a 29-point victory.
"We had an unbelievable first half where they really couldn't do anything," Boschee said. "It was a great team effort and a big confidence booster for this team."
Bosnec nad six three-pointers on his way to a career-high 24 points. Nick Collison grabbed 10 first half rebounds, and Kenny Gregory hit eight-of-nine shots for 17 points.
“It’s a stepping stone to building our confidence back up,” said Kansas forward Drew Gooden, who recorded a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. “All of the losses we had, the other teams wanted it more than we did. We wanted it more this time.”
Sure, this time came against K-State, a team that now has lost 10 straight games and dropped to 8-14 overall and 1-10 in the Big 12.
And sure there were problems. Williams wasn't pleased with how his team performed in the second half and cited numerous lapses in concentration.
But at this point, the Jayhawks will take any kind of road win they can get.
X-rays on Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich's injured finger came back negative, although he will be examined more today. Hinrich injured a finger on his right hand in the second half.
Kansas used its third different starting lineup of the season. Hinrich started at point guard, Boschee at two-guard, Gregory at small forward, Collison at power forward and Gooden at center.

Strong pitching, timely hitting spark 'Hawks in win
Jayhawks sweep series opener, enjoy best start since '87
By Amanda Kashuba sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The 'Hawks blanked the Roadrunners 5-0 in the first game on Saturday. Kansas won both games in the doubleheader yesterday, 9-5 and 12-3.
For the first time since 1987, the Kansas baseball team is off to a 3-0 start, after sweeping the University of Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners last weekend.
Kansas dominated in both pitching and hitting — junior Pete Smart threw his first complete game on Saturday, and senior Rusty Philbrick and sophomore Jeff Davis gave up only 8 combined runs yesterday. Junior Doure Dreher went 7 for 12 for the weekend with 5 RBI, and senior designated hit Shane Wedd his first home run of the season.
Last season, the Jayhawks needed 12 games to get three wins — proving coach Bobby Randall's point that Kansas has improved in the off season.
"UTSA gave us a lot, but I thought we improved as the weekend went along," said Randall, who is now just four wins shy of 100 wins at Kansas. "We're not hitting on all cylinders by any means — we're hitting on three of eight cylinders."
On Saturday, the Jayhawks, led by southpaw Smart, shut out the Roadrunners. Smart pitched a complete game, giving up only three hits and stuck out five batters.
Randall said the team had been working on pitching throughout the preseason — and it finally had
The victory marked only the third time Smart has started a game for the Jayhawks. Earlier in the season, Smart's role on the team was uncertain, but now Smart will be one of the driving forces on the mound.
paid off.
"In my 19 years of college coaching, not as a head coach and as an assistant, that's the first time I've had a pitcher throw a complete game for the win on opening day," he said.
"Whatever role I end up in, I'll go out there and pitch every innning," he said. "Pitchers are the center of attention — we control the game. If the hitters give us one run, it gives us the chance to win."
Kansas' offense also came through on Saturday — Wedd and junior Brandon Smith both homered. Dreher went 3 for 4, and junior John Nelson stole a career-high three bases.
The Jayhawks didn't slow down yesterday either. They outscored the Roadrunners by 13 runs, led again by Dreher's hot bat.
In the first game of the doubleheader, Philbrick pitched four innings, allowing six hits and two runs. He struck out four in 17 at-bats.
"We had about 10 good at bats which got our runs in, and we had nine good innings of pitching and defense to give us the win," Randall said.
Junior Dan Olson replaced Philbrick, coming into the game with the 'Hawks down 2-1. He retired the first three batters, but gave up two runs in the sixth, as the Roadrunners took a 4-2 lead.
The Jayhawks roared back, scoring three runs in the seventh inning and five in the ninth, securing a 9-5 victory. Dreher went three for five in the game and also stole a base.
Olson said he had been working
"I'm working to becoming a starter, I feel comfortable at the beginning of the game," said Olson, who earned the win. "But I'll pitch anywhere I can."
Randall said he was pleased with his team's effort.
In the second game, Davis went 6.2 innings in his first career start for the Jayhawks, giving up only nine hits and three runs in the effort. Dreher went 1 for 3, with a double in third inning. Junior Sam Gish relieved Davis, and the Jayhawks sailed to a 12-3 victory.
on his motion in hopes of making the starting rotation.
"It was good to win two," he said, referring to yesterday's doubleheader. "Jeff pitched well today."
The Jayhawks are off today, but will be back in action tomorrow when they take on Rockhurst College at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 14). A brilliant conversationalist could convince you to settle down. Your dreams are glorious in February, but you could run into financial problems in March. Who needs money when you've got love? Find a new source of inspiration in April and apply elbow grease to get the structure you need in May. Play like a child in June and team up with a strong partner in August
Aries: Today is a 7.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
You are full of questions, but you're not getting all the right answers. You shouldn't give up. You may not have completely dominated your competition yet, but you are wearing them down. Persistence is a marvelous skill to acquire. Practice
Gemini: Today is a 7.
Other people are in the mood to talk. So ask leading questions of the people who know, and then take notes. You are naturally good at saving money but you could be better. Don't learn more because you have to; do it because it's so much fun!
You are amazingly intelligent right now. Not only are you curious and quick, but you also have patience and persistence. All of this is important if you're going to master a complicated subject. Get a friend to help, too, just for the fun of it.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
Dig through the papers and find all the good deals. The early bird gets the worm, right? Well, that goes for crustaceans, too. Think how miserable you'd be if you found a double coupon for your favorite item after it had already expired!
Leo: Today is a 6.
You could stumble into an interesting discussion. A friend of yours is an expert in something you'd like to know more about. Hang out around that person as much as possible now. You could pick up more valuable information than you would in a master's class!
2
A person who's pushing you hard could be right. There's plenty of work to be done, and you can learn to do it their way. Don't do it all for the same money, however. You're being trained, and the more well-trained you are, the more you're worth.
Libra: Today is an 8.
T
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
TOMMY HILFIGER
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You are the lucky one, three out of three! You have a grand trine in air signs, and that's all good!
Use your magnificent talent with words to talk your sweetheart into doing what you want. It'll be easy!
Saaittarius: Today is a 6.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
You should be able to find a good deal or two. If you try to buy something from a private party, you're sure to hear a long story about its history. If you tell them what you think it's worth, however, that's probably all you'll have to pay for it.
Go through your correspondence carefully. There' a way of making or saving money that you haven't stumbled onto yet. It's practically underfoot, so it could happen at any moment. If you go through a nearby stack of paperwork, you may find it.
You may run into a bit of a problem. Something you'd like to purchase for a loved one is simply too much money. A fix you've figured out for something at home could work, however. That doesn't cost you much at all. So, it all evens out in the long run.
You could run into a few conflicts today — and possibly even an argument or two. That's partially because you're doing things differently than before. You're not content with the status quo. You're growing, but sometimes that's awkward. Relax.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You may discover things you didn't know about your home or family. If you're in escrow, this is good. Better you should find out now, than later. If you're not in escrow, you might be by the time the next few days are through. After that, you'll be in the mood to make big changes.

Jarrett takes first in Daytona warmup
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Already assured the pole, Dale Jarrett strengthened his position as the Daytona 500 favorite by winning the Bud Shootout yesterday.
utter overpowering 54 other drivers Saturday in winning the top qualifying spot for next Sunday's season-opening Winston Cup event, Jarrett showed the handling on his Robert Yates Racing Ford was as intimidating as its horsepower.
To get into the 25-lap, made-for-TV race for last year's pole winners, Jarrett had to win a 25-lap preliminary event for last year's second-round qualifying leaders.
LIEUTENDAHL
Each of yesterday's races included a mandatory pit stop with a two-tire change, and Jarrett's five new crewmen — moving to the Yates team from Jeff Gordon's elite Rainbow Warriors — showed they were fast and flawless.
The pit stop in the qualifying race moved Jarrett past Ricky Craven into first place and he sped away to win by just over five seconds — nearly half a straightway on the 2 1/2-mile Daytona International Speedway oval.

Kwan wins nationals, despite young skaters
CLEVELAND — Instead of one Tara Lipinski to push Michelle Kwan, there were two.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
But Sasha Cohen and Sarah Hughes simply didn't have the clout with the judges to pull off what Lipinski did in the 1998 Olympics.
Skating cautiously and with little fire, Kwan, 19, still won her third straight U.S. Figure Skating Championships crown Saturday night.
"I don't think I would have won because Michelle is a world and Olympic skater and very well known," Cohen said. "She has a reputation which I don't have."
While the four-time champion skated tentatively and fell once in the free skate, her main competition — 15-year-old Cohen and 14-year-old Hughes — also had falls. But their performances weren't as uninspired as Kwan's.
"I really feel I have to up the ante," said Kwan. "It's, I think, my seventh nationals and I feel ancient next to these people."
They simply don't have the resumes quite yet. And Kwan, the Olympic silver medalist who has won more U.S. championships than the likes of Kristi Yamaguchi, Rosalynn Summers and Dorothy Hamill, certainly does.
She should thank some generous judges for helping her stave off the wave of young Americans.

Olympic officials prepare for games
OLYMPIC GAMES
SYDNEY, Australia — With six months until the Sydney Olympics, the IOC likes what it sees.
"Everything is in place to have an excellent games," International Olympic Committee executive Jacques Rogge said yesterday. "For the first time, everything is ready six months before the games. This is a record."
The commission also said 200 to 400 athletes would be subjected to random out-of-competition drug tests starting Sept. 2, two weeks before
the opening ceremony.
Rogge said the Olympics would generate an extra 1.8 million passenger trips a day as athletes, media and spectators moved between venues.
"It's a major challenge," he said, adding organizers could overcome such obstacles with proper discipline.
The organizers still need to recruit 60,000 professional staff, including caterers and cleaners, plus 40,000 volunteers.

Starting second and third, Strobl and Franz profited from starting earlier than Maier as weather conditions seemed to deteriorate during his race. Maier started eighth.

SAN DIEGO — The Streak ended in style.
Tiger Woods defied the odds once again by erasing a seven-stroke lead in just seven holes. Just as quickly, he fell victim to his own mistakes and a sudden revival by Phil Mickelson.
The longest PGA Tour winning streak in 52 years stopped yesterday in the Buick Invitational, where Mickelson won for the first time in 18 months and left Byron Nelson's record run of 11 straight victories as the standard.
"At least I made it interesting for Phil." Woods said.
In a final round packed with as much drama as a major championship, Mickelson recovered from two double bogeys with back-to-back birdies that finally gave him a lead too large even for Woods to overcome.
Mickelson closed with a 2-under 70 for a four-stroke victory against Woods and Shigeki Maruyama, the 14th of his career. He finished at 18-under 270 and earned a career-high $540,000.
"I have a lot of confidence after this week," Mickelson said. "I tackled the best in the world, and I won."
And so, the guy who started The Streak finally ended it six months later.
This time. Woods was seven
Mickelson was the first victim in a streak that began with Woods' one-stroke victory in the NEC Invitational in August.
This time, strokes down with 12 holes to play. Six holes later, Woods pointed at the cup as his ball fell to the bottom for a 5-foot birdie on the 13th hole that gave him a share of the lead at 15 under.
TIGER
Shocked at his sudden collapse on a course where he grew up, Mickelson finally answered. After pushing his tee shot under a eucalyptus tree and having to lay up, he hit a 116 yard wedge to 2 feet for birdie to regain the lead.
Woods: Erased seven-stroke lead in seven holes
And then Woods finally blinked.
With only a 9-iron in his hand, he was 25 feet right of his target, above the hole on No. 14, blew his putt 6 feet by and missed it coming back — a three-putt bogey, after taking only 15 putts on his first 13 holes.
Mickelson, watching from the fairway as Woods made his first bogey in 44 holes, dropped a wedge into 6 feet for birdie and a three-
stroke lead.
Woods bogeyed the next hole from the bunker, a smile crept across his face.
"It means I came in second." Woods said, who joins Ben Hogan in 1948 with six-tournament winning streaks.
And it means Nelson, who set his remarkable record in 1945, can rest easy — for now.
It was a heart-pumping end to a streak that captured the imagination of the entire tour. And it did nothing to diminish the fact that Woods' dominance of his generation may be greater than any other player's in golf history.
"It's disappointing I didn't win." Woods said. "I just wasn't hitting it good enough to give myself a viable chance down the stretch, and it finally caught up with me. To even be under par was kind of a miracle."
Mickelson, who was tied for 134th in final-round scoring last year and only two weeks ago blew a final-round lead in Phoenix with a 40, showed the kind of courage that may help him win his first major championship down the road.
Don't be surprised if Woods is there waiting for him. While the streak is done, Woods still has not finished worse than seventh in a stroke-play tournament since April.

Family bonds motivate KU rowers to improve
By Shawn Linenberger

The family that rows together, stays together.

Three Jayhawk rowers had family members competing in the 18th annual Kansas Open Indoor Rowing Championships Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. Rowers competed on rowing machines called ergometers.
He won the collegiate varsity openweight division with a time of 6 minutes. 31.1 seconds.
Freshman Sara Stuart's brother, Danton, a club rower and senior at Virginia Tech, was initially coming to Lawrence just to visit his sister for the weekend, but decided to enter the meet last week.
Sara Stuart finished in ninth place in the collegiate novice division with 7:42 Bill Geiger, who is from Leavenworth, was the lone entry in the 50-year-and-older division last year; but did not win this year.
Geiger, 55, finished third out of five with a time of 7.37.6. He improved on last year's time by 8 seconds.
Geiger's daughter Julie, a junior,
looked to him for inspiration.
"I pumped me up," Julie said. "I knew if he did well, I could too. Unfortunately, I had a mental lapse somewhere."
Julie Geiger finished the collegiate openweight division in 40th place with a time of 8:01.5. She didn't improve on her time last year when she finished in 7:48.
Freshman Jennifer Andrews competed in the coxswain (COX-son) division. A coxswain is the member of a boat who does not row. She navigates the boat and keeps the rowers synchronized.
in the indoor event, coxswains row for 1,000 meters on the ergometers, compared to the standard 2,000 meters.

They won the women's team trophy with 72 points, leaving Kansas State and Creighton tied for second with 35 points each. Nebraska finished without any points.
The Kansas rowers weren't gracious hostesses Saturday, winning their own Kansas Open Indoor Rowing Championships with relative ease.
The Kansas rowing team entered the Kansas Open Indoor Rowing Championships in Allen Fieldhouse Saturday as four-time defending champions. The Jayhawks have won the team title every year since rowing became a varsity sport in the fall of 1995.
Senior Risa Petty, who won the collegiate division with a time of 7:16.3, finished two seconds slower than her first-place finish last year.
"Last year, I had to win the event to keep us in the team-title race," Petty said. "This year it was more for fun."
The Jayhawks also won the collegiate rowing title. The event involves four rowers rowing 500 meters on an ergometer. Risa Petty, Tara Lynn, Heather Muir and Dana Parsons won the event with a time of 6:25.
The Kansas championships also included divisions in which anyone could participate, including former rowers and even coaches.
At times the event resembled a hospital more than a sporting event.
"The Creighton coach was throwing up after his piece," said graduate student rower Stacie Frain. "A lot of people also had to be helped off because they were so exhausted."
The Jayhawks begin the spring season March 25 against Tulsa University in Tulsa, Okla.
Men's tennis stops four-game losing skid with win against Iowa

After four consecutive losses, the University of Kansas men's tennis team finally picked up a victory.
The Jayhawks stopped their losing streak yesterday by knocking off the No. 68 Iowa Hawkeyes. The win came just a day after a lopsided loss to No. 33 Indiana at Alymer Acquired Club.
Kansas coach Mark Riley said the win was a welcome boost to the team's morale.
"Since things have been so down later, I was happy we got a good effort out of all our guys," he said. "They had to give sick of losing at some point."
The 4-3 win against the Hawkeyes did not come easy. Kansas began by claiming two out of their three doubles matches for one point. The Jayhawks hadn't won a doubles point since their first match of the season against Southwest Missouri State.
"Whoever wins the doubles point seems to win the whole match," said freshman Pete Stroer. "It's always good to start things out in a positive way."
Kansas and Iowa would go on to split the first four singles matches, making the overall score 3-2 in favor of the Jayhawks with just two matches left. Kansas needed only one more victory
KANSAS TENNIS
to beat Iowa, and the two Jayhawks left to compete were senior Bryan Maier and sophomore Quentin Blakeney.
Maier lost his first set 5-7 to Iowa's Hunter Skogman, putting pressure on Blakeney to come through for his team. Blakeney responded by winning his first set in close fashion 7-6 (7-3) against Hawkee senior J.R. Chidley.
"I didn't really know how the team was doing overall, but I figured it would come down to me and Bryan." Blakeney said. "I did know that Bryan had lost his first set. I was just trying to concentrate on what I had to do."
To the delight of the crowd, Blakeeney won point after point during the second set. He said he made some adjustments late in the first set which enabled him to claim the second set 6-2. With Maier eventually losing his match, it was Blakeney's point that propelled the Jayhawks to the victory.
"In the first set, I adjusted my forehand swing to put more topspin on the ball." Blakeney said. "("Chidley) was never able to find a weakness in my game after that. I was happy I could help my team to the win."
Kansas was not quite as fortunate the
previous day against Indiana. The Jayhawks lost the match 5-2, and Riley said the team was never really in contention for the win.
"What happened is that they won all the big points today," Riley said. "We can't panic at this point. We are underachieving right now, but we'll get it right."
The Jayhawks only won three matches the entire contest. Sophomore Rodrigo Echagaray had to battle an elbow injury but defeated Hoosier junior Ian Arons in No. 2 singles play, 6-4, 6-4.
But against Iowa yesterday, it was a different story. Stroer had the best showing, winning both his singles and doubles matches. On Saturday, Stroer and doubles partner Blakeney also got past Indiana's No. 3 doubles team of Ari Wilansky and Paul Jacobson 8-4. Stroer then beat Hoosier sophomore Rahman Smiley 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 during his singles match.
"Pete is getting better with each match," Riley said. "He comes out and plays everyday and is going in the right direction."
Kansas, 2-4, will travel to Boston this weekend for a match against Harvard on Friday and Columbia on Saturday. The trip will mark the first time Kansas has met Harvard in tennis competition.

Softball team drops three of four in rough weekend
The Kansas softball team had a tough opening weekend at the Fiesta Bowl Classic, losing three of its four games.
The Jayhawks fell to Fresno State and Arizona State Friday. Fresno State shut out Kansas 10-0. Senior pitcher Melanie DeWinter held Fresno State to two hits and two runs through the third inning, but a grand slam by Fresno State put the Buildogs up by seven and the game out of reach. Sophomore Shelly Musser was the only Jayhawk to get a hit off the Fresno State pitcher.
Softball
In the second game, Arizona State took an early 3-0 lead. Kansas scored in the fourth inning
but was not able to produce any more runs, losing 7-1.
"It was a tough first day," said coach Tracy Bunge. "We played two quality teams, and two quality teams stepped up and played us real well. We saw some things that we need to work on."
Kansas defeated Georgia State 4-3 Saturday. The Jayhawks came back and scored two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings to clinch the win.
The Jayhawks then lost to Utah yesterday. Utah came back to win the game 6-5 in the ninth inning.
The Jayhawks will travel to North
carolina this weekend to play in the Triangle Classic.

Women's tennis loses first spring match, slips to 3-1
The Kansas women's tennis team dropped its first match of the spring to No. 36 Ohio State Friday on Duke's campus in Durham, N.C.
The Jayhawks were tied at No. 41 before the match and fell to 3-1 overall this season.
In singles play, junior Monica Sekulov and senior Julia Sidorova captured Kansas' only two match points with wins at the No. 4 and No. 5 positions. Both have posted a perfect 4-0 dual record so far this spring. Sekulov is 12-6 overall and Sidorova has an 11-3 record during the 1999-2000 season after the match with Ohio State.
Ohio State swept the doubles competition, handing the No. 2 doubles team of Sekulov and freshman Tiffany Chang and the No. 3 doubles team of Cheryl and Lisa Malliaiah their first losses of the season. Both teams are now 3-1 overall.
The Buckeyes are coached by former Kansas coach Chuck Merzbacher. Ohio State leads the series with Kansas 2-0, but Friday's meeting was the first since 1978.

Women tied for third place in Big 12 after weekend loss
Continued from page 1B
"You have to give Kansas some credit," said Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford.
"Playing on the road in a hostile environment. I thought Kansas played like a top 10 basketball team."
The 'Hawks came back with help from senior forward Lynn Pride, who had a turbulent day. She scored 18 points and made some of her usual athletic moves, but one caught the attention of the officials and the crowd of 7,901 fans that partially filled the center.
With about 12 minutes left in the game, junior point guard Jennifer Jackson had the ball on a two-one break with Pride on her left. Pride was expecting an alley-oop pass from Jackson, who decided to null up and shoot a 10-foot jumper.
Pride, however, got the full advantage of the bouncy Devaney Center floor and jumped high enough for a dunk — touching the rim — but the ball was already headed for the bottom of the net. Kansas' bench was charged with an administrative technical foul because Pride had interfered with a shot in progress by grabbing the rim.
said Washington about the official who made the call. "In a big game it's real tough."
"I asked her. 'Was she hanging?"
It's really tough.
Jackson's basket, which was disallowed, would have pulled the 'Hawks within 2 points of the lead with 12 minutes, 6 seconds left. Still, Kansas tied the game 72-72 with 31.1 seconds remaining after senior guard Suzi Raymant canned a three-point shot from the left corner.
"They've got it recorded because I was wearing the mike for ESPN2." he said about the network that broadcasted the game live. "I know what I was thinking, but I hope I didn't say it because it was probably unprintable."
together we can make a difference!
With no timeouts and three players in foul trouble, it appeared that the 'Hawks wanted the last shot after Jackson fouled Nebraska's Amanda Went with 20.1 remaining. Went hit two free throws, but Kansas still had a shot.
Sanderford uttered his displeasure after the play, which capped an 11-4 Kansas run.
On the next play, Raymant came off a double screen and had an open three-point shot with about 6 seconds left. But lightning didn't strike twice.
"I just think I rushed the shot," said Raymant, who was the team's leading scorer with 20 points.
including nine from three-pointers. "I was open."
Pride picked up her fifth foul on the rebound. Nebraska's Charlie Rogers made her first free throw, but missed the second one, leaving the 'Huskers up by 3 points with 5.3 seconds left.
Hawks junior forward Jaclyn Johnson brought the ball up the court after Rogers' miss and had an open look at a potential game-tying three-point shot, but she elected to pass to an open Jennifer Jackson and time expired before the junior point guard could shoot.

Event full of tough competitors

"There's 18 automatic qualifiers here and like 14 provisional qualifiers here, so that just says something about the competition," said Candace Mason, assistant sprints and hurdles coach. "This is atmosphere like the Drake Relavals, only indoors."
The big-time competition, blaring rock music and a huge crowd certainly brought out the best in more Kansas athletes than just Branson and Gruber.
The men's 1600-meter relay team of junior Andy Morris, freshman Kevin Lewis, sophomore Dorian Jordan and junior Jabari Wamble placed third. Wamble also placed second in the 400-meter dash with a time of 48.49 seconds Saturday after winning his heat on Friday night.
"We ran our second fastest time in the four by四." Mason said. "It's really nice to see them get in the swing of things."
the swing of things.
Schwartz equally was impressed with the men's distance-medley relay team, especially senior anchor Kevin McGuinn, who made a strong showing in the mile portion of the relay.
"Some people really stepped up and made things happen," Schwartz said. "Kevin McGuinn ran a 4:13 in the distance medley, and he had mono at the end of cross country, so that's a sign that he's back."
The relay team, which also consisted of sophomore Brian Blachly and seniors R.J. VonMervelld and Jay Kocks, placed fifth. And, according to Schwartz, at this meet, a fifthplace finish was nothing of which to be ashamed.
"You come to this meet to compete against the best and to sharpen your skills for the conference," Schwartz said. "Today we had a good day."
And this good day may be a sign of what Kansas can expect at the Big 12 Conference meet on Feb. 25-26 in Ames, Iowa.
"The men have a very good shot this year at placing higher than they could previously," Mason said. "The women, if some of them (record personal bests) at the right time, who knows?"
Gruber, who was last year's conference champion in the 1,000-meter run, was content with his first place finish, although not his

performance.
"I'm happy with the win, but I was kind of disappointed with the time," said Gruber, who ran a 4:07.49. "I want to run a 4:03, though."

Nebraska survives late scare
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
LINCOLN, Neb. — After a 78-75 loss to Colorado Wednesday, Nebraska women had something to prove.
"We never quit, and we never will quit," said Nebraska senior guard Nicole Kublk. "We're Nebraska, and we're not known as quitters. This was a game that we really wanted. We wanted to prove to Kansas that we are a better team than they thought we were."
Although Nebraska beat Kansas 81-69 Jan. 11, the Cornhuskers, now 12-10 overall and 6-5 in the Big 12, needed to prove that first victory was not a fluke. A 75-72 win yesterday made that statement.
Kansas had an advantage in athletism, but Nebraska combated that by making the game scrappy and physical.
"Ilike it better when the referees let the players control the tempo rather than other factors affecting the game," said Nebraska senior forward Charlie Rogers. "That style of play is to our advantage because Kansas is a little more athletic than we are."
Nebraska played four guards much of the game, trying to spread Kansas' defense and find some open shots. Not only did this open more outside shots, but it also allowed guards such as Kubik to slash to the inside for easy layups.
"The four-guard lineup was very effective for us at times," said Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford. "It gave Kansas some matchup trouble at times. When we spread the defense out, it gives us room for dribble penetration, and that's what we tried to do."
The plan worked for Kubik, who scored a season-high 29 points.
"Nicole has made a career out of playing against Kansas," Sanderford said. "She loves playing against Kansas. We just tried to get her the ball in places where she could make some plays."
Second behind Kubik in scoring was freshman forward Paige Sutton, who scored 11 off the bench.
She made some mistakes, but she did not play like a freshman today." Sanderson said.
lower offense was not the only way the Cornhuskers were able to pull out the close victory. Their defense forced 24 turnovers, 17 in the first half.
"I think a lot of it was just nerves, and I think we just needed to get focused," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "It wasn't just any one thing. They made some good plays and got the ball away from us."
Kansas still was within striking distance late in the game, but senior guard Suzi Raymant missed an uncontested three-repointer with five seconds remaining.
"My stomach did about three flip-flops when I saw her come off that screen with no one guarding her." Sanderdor said.
Nebraska had lost at Colorado in a similar situation. But this time, the Cornhuskers emerged victorious.
"When you lose a tough one, like we did to Colorado, you never know how your kids are going to respond," Sanderford said. "But we responded like a team that isn't through."

West wins All-Star game
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Vince Carter started things off with a dunk worthy of a contest, Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal played like MVPs, and Karl Malone got involved as little as possible.
In an All-Star game that was almost a microcosm of the first half of the season, each star had a chance to show his specialty — and most of them did.
Behind 24 points apiece from Duncan and Kevin Garnett, 22 from O'Neal and 14 assists from Jason Kidd, the West defeated the East 137-126 yesterday in the 49th version of the league's showcase event.
This was the first All-Star game since 1998 because last year's was canceled by the lockout, but the players hadn't forgotten how to play one of these games. Heavy on the fancy stuff and short on fundamentals, the players put on as much of a show as they could — and Carter's portion of it happened right from the start.
The first basket for the East was
an alley-oop dunk by Carter off a pass from Allen Iverson, while the second bucket was a breakaway slam by Carter that closely resembled one of his best from the dunk contest Saturday night.
Carter did a 360-degree spin to his right, rather than doing it the easy way by spinning left, and dunked the ball with two hands.
Iverson led the East with 26 points and nine assists, while Ray Allen had 14 and Carter 12.
O'Neal and Duncan were named co-MVPs, the first time the award has been shared since 1993.
O'Neal also had nine rebounds and three blocks, while Duncan had 14 rebounds and four assists. Kobe Bryant added 15 for the West, while Michael Finley and Kidd had 11 anice.
Malone, who wasn't happy that the NBA threatened him with a five-game suspension if he failed to show an played just three minutes.
— all in the first half — and missed his only shot.
After the breakneck start keyed by Carter's dunks, the pace slowed
early in the second quarter as the reserves got their minutes. Allen and O'Neal injected some life back into the game — Allen with a Carteresque drive and dunk; O'Neal by drbbling coast to coast for a layup and then following with a fast-break slam and an alley-oop dunk off a pass from Kidd complete with a chin-up on the rim.

Raptors' star wins dunk contest
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Vince Carter won the NBA slam dunk contest Saturday night with a riveting above-the-rim demonstration that was almost perfect.
The Toronto Raptors star scored a perfect 50 on three of his five attempts and got a 49 and 48 on the other two to defeat Houston's Steve Francis and teammate Tracy McGrady for the title.
"It's unbelievable," Carter said. "It hasn't suken in yet. I'm having trouble. I just remember back in the days when me and my friends used to tape the dunk contests and watch them over and over."
On his final dunk, Carter went sailing down the floor and took off just inside the free-throw line for a two-handed stuff that earned him a 48 and a final round 98, enough to beat Francis.
Francis finished the final round with 91 points and McGrady 77 after missing his final attempt.
Carter said the final dunk was an attempt to duplicate one of Julius Erving's most famous dunks when he took off from the foul line.
"I wasn't too happy with it, but I'll take it," Carter said. "I wish I could have tried it again. I think I would have done better."
Carter set the tone with his first dunk of the night. He did a 360-degree spin to his right in the lane and then brought the ball up from his right hip before powering it through the basket, sending the crowd into a frenzy and receiving a perfect 50.
Toronto teammate McGrady matched the 50 on his final dunk of the first round, catching the ball after it bounced high on the floor and then making a double clutch stuff.
But on Carter's third and final dunk of the first round it was apparent he would be almost impossible to beat.
He took a bounce pass from
McGrady — one first-round dunk had to be done in coordination with a teammate — brought the ball under his right leg while he was in the air and then slammed it through. It brought the judges out of their seats and one of them, Isiah Thomas, jumped on the scorer's table to cheer.
The popular contest was revived this year for the first time since 1997.
Each dunk is scored from six to 10 by each judge. The first-round score is based on a composite with the lowest score excluded and three of the six contestants advancing to the finals.
Judges were Thomas, Cynthia Cooper, Rick Barry, George "Ice Man" Gervin and Kenny Smith.
Carter had a first-round 100 to advance with McGray (99) and Francis (95). Eliminated were Ricky Davis of Charlotte, Jerry Stackhouse of Detroit and Philadelphia's Larry Hughes, who missed his first two attempts.

Jayhawks solve mystery behind slump

Three-point shots help earn victory
By Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
During Kansas' weekly press conference Thursday, sophomore point guard Jeff Boschee called the Jayhawks' recent scoring slump a mystery. Saturday in Manhattan, Boschee made like Sherlock Holmes and solved the case, leading the Jayhawks to a 94-65 trouncing of in-state rival Kansas State.
The solution was elementary, my dear Watson, as Boschee knocked in six three-pointers on his way to a career-high 24 points. Those six three-pointers tied his career high, matching his performance earlier this season against Illinois, when he also hit six in an 84-70 loss.
"Jeff Boschee has gone through a long period of time here where he hadn't shot the ball very well, and I think he came back alive today and put the ball in the basket for us," Kansas coach Roy Williams said.
Kansas' 94 points on Saturday marked the highest point total for the Jayhawks in nearly a month. It also seemingly ended Kansas' scoring drought on the road. In four consecutive road games — all losses — the Jayhawks did not break the 70-point mark.
"I think the defensive pressure we had caused some turnovers and let us get out there and run," Boschee said. "I think it does help with a quicker lineup out there, and tonight we were knocking down shots."
The quicker lineup included
Boschee and Kirk Hinrich in the backcourt, with regular offguard Gregory moving to small forward in place of an injured Nick Bradford.
Those three pushed the tempo faster from the start, wreaking havoc on the outmanned Wildcats. After K-State scored the first bucket of the game, Kansas unleashed a 19-2 run on the hapless Wildcats on the way to a 50-23 halftime lead. In the second half, Kansas State got no closer than 25 points.
Boschee, however, was not the only Jayhawk to light up the scoreboard. Four Jayhawks scored in double figures and two others were a bucket away. Freshmen Nick Collison and Drew Gooden chipped in 13 each, and Kenny Gregory poured in 17 on 8-of-9 shooting — several of them lauvps and dunks.
"Everything fed off of our defense," Gregory said. "We were just running the floor, keeping fresh guys, and getting easy layups on the other end."
Those easy layups contributed to Kansas' 49 percent shooting for the game, and the fast-paced tempo helped open up outside shooters. The Jayhawks shot an impressive 44 percent from three-point range.
After last Monday's 86-53 embarrassing loss to Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks reversed roles on Saturday and did some embarrassing of their own. And while Kansas State, at 1-10 in the Big 12 Conference, is not the most formidable opponent, the blowout did restore some of the team's confidence.
"It's a great feeling," Boschee said. "And I think it gets the bad taste out of our mouths from the other night."

Discrimination trial begins
Employees claim unfair treatment
By Jim O'Malley writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
An employment discrimination lawsuit against the University of Kansas by one current and one former professor went to trial yesterday at the federal courthouse in Kansas City, Kan.
Ray Pierotti, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, and his wife, Cynthia Annett, former assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, sued the University and Thomas Taylor, chairman of the department, after Annett was denied tenure.
Annett alleges that she was denied tenure because of her gender and in retaliation for her opposition to changes in the graduate program that she and Pierotti considered discriminatory to women and minority employees. Pierotti received tenure and claims only that University officials and Taylor retaliated against him for opposing discrimination.
The two are seeking damages of more than $100,000. The total could be much higher if Annett is compensated for lost future income.
"This case is about two people who didn't get their way and want someone else to pay for it."
Barbara McCloud
University assistant general counsel
The plaintiffs' lead attorney, Alan Johnson of Topeka, said in his opening statement that the case was about whether the University treated two of its employees in a fair and equal manner.
Johnson told the jury he expected to prove that shortly before Annett and Pierotti came up for tenure, Taylor proposed changes in the graduate program that they believed would be unfair to women and minorities. Annett and Pierotti sent copies of a letter voicing their objections to the proposed changes, giving Taylor a motive to retaliate against them. Johnson said.
Johnson argued that the University denied Annett tenure partly in retaliation for this. Johnson said he would show that Annett was treated differently from male colleagues. He said Annett had higher ratings in annual reviews than male colleagues who received tenure.
Johnson also argued that the University retaliated against Pierotti by denying his wife's tenure, failing to make a counter-
offer to him when the University of Minnesota offered him employment, and refusing to allow him to work part time for the Indigenous Studies Program.
But Barbara McCloud, assistant general counsel for the University, told the jury this was not a case of gender discrimination or retaliation.
"This case is about two people who didn't get their way and want someone else to pay for it," she said.
McCloud argued that Pierotti was a competent scientist but that he was confrontational, aggressive and didn't get along with people. She said he had a pattern of claiming discrimination when he didn't get what he wanted.
McCloud argued that tenure was not given lightly. She said annual evaluations were based on information provided by the faculty members themselves and could not be compared to tenure evaluation.
She also said that graduate students were not employees, so any retaliation could not have been for opposing unlawful employment practices, a legal requirement for the plaintiffs' retaliation claim.
Annett was the only witness to testify yesterday and will take the stand again today. The plaintiffs expect to call Chancellor Robert Hemenway as a witness Friday.
Another employment discrimination suit filed by Marie Aquilino, former assistant professor of art history, is scheduled to go to trial in federal court in April.

OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE

According to the American Association of University Women, women at the reproductive age spend 68 percent more far out-of-pocket health care than men. A bill proposal in the Kansas Legislature would require insurance companies to cover contraceptives. Photo Illustration by Tara Kraus
Proposed bill pushes for insured contraceptives
By Katrina Hull
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Birth control may be a prescription drug, but that doesn't mean health insurance pays the bill.
Not all health insurance policies pay for contraceptives, said Denney Clements, director of public relations for Kansas Insurance Commissioner Kathleen Sebelius.
This increases women's out-of-pocket health care expenses, and Sebelius is pushing a bill that would require health insurance companies to include birth control pills and other contraceptives in prescription coverage policies. Clements said.
"Why should women be put at a disadvantage?" Clements asked. "The net effect on the women is that they spend more out of the pocket on heath care. The basic architecture of insurance ought to be altered."
But this alteration does not come without opposition from a moral perspective, insurance companies and legislators.
Scott Wallisch, KU Students for Life cochairman, said he would oppose the measure because birth control did not prevent abortions and it fostered a sense of irresponsibility.
"When birth control doesn't work, or it's not used once or twice and a pregnancy does occur, the sense of responsibility is gone, and an abortion is often the next step," he said.
Clements said the real issue was that health insurance should provide equal coverage regardless of gender.
"If this was heart medicine we wouldn't be

having this debate." Clements said. "Because the issue gets caught up in the feminist debate and the lifestyle debate — and even the debate about choice, I think maybe people are blind to the fundamental principal."
Much of the gender gap in expenses is because of supplies and services related to reproductive health, the association said.
Jim Boyle, associate director at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the KU Student Health Insurance Policy did not cover the cost of prescription birth control unless an exception was made for a medical condition.
Boyle, who deals with insurance claims at Watkins said that the health insurance plans that he saw generally did not cover contraceptives.

City Commission to discuss turning Riverfront Plaza into hotel
By John Audlehelm
Riverfront Plaza soon may house a Marriott hotel, and the last hurdles in the process will be discussed by the City Commission tonight.
By John Audlehelm
writer@kansan.com
According to a letter from Riverfront Limited Liability Corp., the owners of the Riverfront Plaza, the proposed Spring Hill Suites would have 108 rooms and meeting space for more than 300 people. All of the rooms would be on the north side of the building, overlooking the Kansas River, and the hotel would open in late 2000, the letter states.
Capital LLC, and one of the members of Rivertron, said some stores and offices would have to move to accommodate the hotel, but he would not say which ones.
Bill Newsome, owner of Southwind
The proposal asks for three things from the city: to buy 138 parking spots, to pay less for the city-owned ground the building sits on and to keep a portion of the

guest tax the hotel generates.
Gayle Martin, communications coordinator for the city, said the 138 proposed spots currently were two-hour free spots open to
the public.
However, Mayor Erv Hodges said he didn't think losing those spots would intensify parking problems on Massachusetts Street because the lot mainly served city hall and retail and office space in the Riverfront Plaza.
They generate no revenue for the city, Martin said, but the hotel developers have offered to pay about $13,000 for them.
City manager Mike Wildgen said the city owned and leased the land under Riverfront Plaza.
Martin said Riverfront LLC paid the city $36,000 a year to rent the space. She said the hotel developers wanted to pay $21,600 — only 60 percent of the current amount.

Because the city also wants meeting space, developers propose to keep two-thirds of the guest taxes they collect in excess of $24,000.
Martin said the proposal did not represent

a possible drain on existing guest taxes. However, Hodges said the city should not just give away resources.
The Riverfront Plaza started as an outlet mall, Hodges said, but the concept did not draw enough people, so the building's owners started leasing it out as office space.
He said that a hotel would be a great way to make the building more viable and that a downtown convention room would interest the commission.

The commission probably will authorize Wildgen to enter negotiations with the developer. Hodges said.

KU student arrested in weekend altercation
A 20-year-old male KU student sustained minor facial injuries early Saturday after being struck in the face at a party by a man holding a set of keys, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. George Wheeler said police were called at 1:11 a.m. to the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive, in reference to a disturbance at a large party.
Fahad R. Malal, Lawrence sophomore, said that he and another KU student had been in an argument that had ended in the two men shaking hands. However, Malal said the man then struck him in the face while holding a set of keys.
Police arrested 24-year-old Muhammad Ahmed, Lawrence junior, for aggravated battery. He was
booked into Douglas County Jail at 2:37 a.m. Saturday and released at 2:09 p.m. because the district attorney's office did not file charges against him.
Maral refused medical attention for a small laceration slightly above the center of his eyebrows and one above his left eye, Wheeler said.

Ahmed had a small laceration on his right arm. Wheeler said, but he refused medical treatment as well.
Former student's fall was alcohol-related
Alcohol played a role in a four-story fall that critically injured a former KU student last weekend at a campus construction site, the KU Public Safety Office said yesterday.
Andrew Witkowski, 21, fell shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday from scaffolding at the future Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall, near 1313 Louisiana Street.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said police collect ed at least one beer can at the scene of the accident.
"There was one found at the construction site itself," Malen said. "They had discarded it there on the grounds."
However, Mailen said officers did not administer alcohol tests to Witkowski at the time because of his injuries.
at the time because of his injuries.
According to the police report,
Witkowski and a friend, 23-year-old
Matthew Dunbar, also of Lawrence,
crossed a barricade fence and sca-
folding to look around the site, which
belongs to B.A. Green Inc., a
Lawrence construction company.
Charges of criminal trespassing and criminal damage to property could be pending. Mailen said information about the incident had been forwarded to the city prosecutor's office. According to a police report, an estimated $250 of damages was done to an air conditioning vent and Sheetrock at the site.
Maileden said the damages occurred after Witkowski's fall.
"This was all damages sustained during the fall." Mailen said.
According to the police report, paramedics estimated Witkowski fell 40 feet. He suffered multiple broken ribs, a broken pelvis and possible internal bleeding.
Witkowski was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after the fall. He later was transported to The University of Kansas Medical Center, where a hospital representative said he still was in critical condition yesterday afternoon.

Man to appear in court for shooting at Burge
The 22-year-old man charged in the
Jan. 23 shooting at a party in the Burge Union will appear today in Douglas County District Court.
Bryon Kirtalld, Lawrence, is scheduled to appear with attorney Jim George at 2 p.m. today before Judge Robert Fairchild, who will set a date for his preliminary hearing.
Kirtdoll has been held at the Douglas County Jail on $25,000 bond since his Feb. 7 arrest in Topeka. He is charged with one count of aggra-
vated battery.
The charge stems from a Jan. 23 incident at a dance party sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union. Gregory J. Davis, Denver senior, was shot in the hip at the party, which between 300 and 400 people attended.

Deadly tornadoes hit southwest Georgia
NATION
CAMILLA, Ga. — Tornadoes slashed through southwest Georgia early yesterday, killing at least 22 people and injuring more than 100.
The Mitchell County town of Camilla appeared to be hardest hit, with a tornado cutting a five-mile path through a housing development south of town.
"It's like somebody took a builderoz and leveled it," volunteer firefighter Mikie Newsome said. He and his father had watched a large dark funnel cloud dip down about three miles from their house near Camilla, about 200 miles south of Atlanta.
"All you heard was a roar, woo-woo," said Johnny Jones, whose mobile home south of Camilla was lifted up and thrown on its side. He said he freed his 14-year-old son, who was pinned under a washing machine, and they crawled out a window.
Newsome estimated that 50 to 60 homes were demolished, 90 percent of them mobile homes. Aerial photos showed the entire neighborhood was flattened.
Fourteen people died in Mitchell County, said Liz McQueen, a Red Cross representative working at a temporary morgue in Camilla. Seven were confirmed dead in Grady County and one in Colquitt County.
Only two victims, Marianne McClelland, 64, of Pelham, and Shannon Harrell, 28, of Camilla, had been identified by midday.
"You just don't know until you turn over all the trees and houses and dig through the rubble," said Grady County Administrator Rusty Move.
Search and rescue teams went into the area to look for more dead and injured.
Moye said the twisters leveled houses in his county, damaged farm buildings and scattered trees across highways.
■ Currency and checks were stolen from a KU Spirit Squid employee between 10 p.m. Feb. 3 and 7 a.m. Feb. 4 at Allen Fieldhouse, the KU Public Safety Office said. The money and checks were valued at $200.
ON THE RECORD
The KU Public Safety Office responded to a medical emergency at 11:40 p.m. Friday at the third floor in Oliver Hall. The subject, a 17-year-old KU student, was complaining of dizziness and nausea after consuming alcohol. The subject was examined at the scene by paramedics but declined to be transported to the hospital.
- The KU Public Safety Office responded to a medical emergency at 7:31 p.m. Saturday at the fifth floor in Haskinger Hall. The subject, a 17-year-old KU student, was complaining of chest pain, dizziness and breathing difficulties. She said she was having an allergic reaction to something she ate at Ekdahl Dining Commons. Paramedics examined the subject at the scene, but she declined to be transported to the hospital.
The KU Public Safety Office received a report at 11:35 p.m. Thursday from a subject who said he had been hit by a car about 10:25 p.m. Wednesday. The subject said he was hit while crossing Naismith Drive on the south side of 15th Street. The man, a 22-year-old KU student, said he rolled partway up on the hood of the vehicle but was not injured.
A KU student's Nokia cellular phone, Sony portable stereo with headset and miscellaneous cassette tape were stolen between midnight and 8 a.m. Saturday from her 1997 Honda minivan parked in the 1900 block of Countryside Lane, Lawrence police said. The items were valued at $125.
A KU student's Panasonic CD player and 75 CDs were stolen between 9 p.m. saturday and 11:30 a.m. Sunday from the 400 block of Grandview Terrace, Lawrence police said. The items were valued at $1,465.
A KU student's Sharp 27" television and Hitachi VCR were stolen between 1 and 3 a.m. Sunday from the 1300 block of Tennessee Street, Lawrence police said. The items were valued at $300.
Health care costs higher for women
Susanna Lanza, director of managed policies for the Health Insurance Association of America, said her association opposed any government mandates because they raised the cost of health insurance.
Continued from page 1A
Clements said that although rising costs were a common argument, they might not be a common-sense argument.
"If you cover contraceptive devices or birth control costs, that is far cheaper over time than an unplanned pregnancy," Clements said.
About 15 states do require health insurance to cover birth control, and Clements said that as far as he knew, insurance costs had not increased.
Indeed, a National Conference of State Legislatures study showed the increased cost to employers from Sebelius' proposal would be about $1.42 a month per worker.
However, Sebelius' proposal is not pleasing the legislators.
After the bill's hearing last week in the House Insurance Committee last week, Chairman Robert Tomlinson, R-Roeland Park, said the bill wouldn't even get a vote this session.
Despite the negative outlook, Clements said Sebelius was not giving up on the issue.

City to resubmit new bus request
By John Audlehelm
Kansan staff writer
writer@kansan.com
The City of Lawrence must resubmit a request for proposals if it wants federal money for its new bus system. And this time, it will have to tell bus manufacturers what it considers the most important factors in its decision.
Federal Transit Administration officials met Wednesday with Mike Wilden, city manager. They met to clarify why the administration recognized Chance Coach Inc.'s protest of Lawrence's decision to purchase buses from Blue Bird Corp. of Macon, Ga. Chance, a Wichita manufacturer, had made a bid to supply Lawrence's buses.
Chance first protested to the city, which stood by its original decision, and then to the FTA, which decided against the city.
Wildgen said FTA officials had problems with the city's original request for proposals.
He said the request contained a number of evaluation criteria, such as the price, cost of operation, delivery time and how long the buses would last.
"You have to tell everybody, 'How important is that?' Wildgen said.
He said Friday that city officials would submit the modified request for proposals to the FTA in less than 10 days.
Cindy Terwilliger, deputy regional administrator for the FTA in Kansas City, Mo., said the
problem was that the request did not prioritize the criteria.
"They had evaluation criteria," she said. "But the description was not adequate."
Terwilliger said the meeting involved going through the technical aspects of the proposal.
"The meeting went very smoothly," she said. "All the parties worked very well together."
Wildgen said if the FTA signed off on the corrections, the city would submit the new request to possible bidders and redo the selection process.
Fred Gilliam, executive vice president of Chance, said he was pleased the FTA had overturned the city's decision. He said he did not think his company had been treated unfairly, but that the
city's analysis of the proposals was handled wrong.
"They left it totally to the discretion of the interpreter, which in this case was a consultant." Gilliam said.
by not prioritizing the criteria, Gilliam said, the proposal was vague and confusing. This left too much room for interpretation by the city's consultant, KA Associates of Wichita, which he said misled city employees.
He said the issue of Lawrence picking an out-of-state manufacturer instead of an in-state one had been blown out of proportion.
Wildgen said the city would work with FTA because it was providing most of the money to purchase the buses.

A language full of busy hands, no voices
Bv Mike Hoffman
It's 6:30 p.m. on a Tuesday night, and about 75 students are crowded into a room in Dole Development Center learning a new language—a language without sound.
Welcome to the world of SPED 598: Sign Language, an introductory course taught by Sally Roberts, assistant professor of special education.
The University didn't offer a sign language course until the mid-80s. However, because the University doesn't offer any sign language courses that would show fourth-semester proficiency, the courses cannot fulfill foreign language requirements, said Pam Houston, director of undergraduate services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. However, students can take introductory courses here and take upper-level classes elsewhere to meet the requirement, she said.
Roberts said many of her students were taking the class just to familiarize themselves with sign language. She also said she had a good combination of students from different schools in her class, ranging from the School of Social Welfare to the School of Pharmacy.

Kansan staff writer
"This is an introductory class giving an overview of the language, the sign system, what causes deafness and deaf culture," she said.
Although she teaches between 650 and 700 different signs, Roberts said she didn't expect anyone to be fluent by the end of the semester. There are three courses available at the University: Sign Language, the introductory course taught by Roberts, American Sign Language I and American Sign Language II.
Kirk Shalvey, Littleton, Colo., senior, is not a special education major but said he was taking the class because it was his last year at the
university and he wanted to take something fun. He said that the class members were studying signs that dealt with money.
"The professor makes it fun and interesting." he said.
Shalvey also said that he had studied French in the past and that he thought it was more difficult.
Angela Whistance, Lee's Summit, Mo., senior, said that she took the class because she wanted to be able to better relate to the hearing impaired
"I's a great class, because it's neat to learn a different language without speaking," she said.
Whistance said that her aunt worked at the Kansas School for the Deaf in Olathe and that it would be nice to converse with some of the students.

"It makes a real difference to be able to help a deaf person out in a place like the grocery store when they are having trouble with something," she said.

Uniformity lacking in enforcement of zero-tolerance alcohol policy
There is a zero-tolerance alcohol policy at the University of Kansas. That means that the possession, manufacture, distribution or use of alcohol by students or University staff on campus as part of University activities is prohibited.
Residence and scholarship halls residents bear most of the brunt of this policy. If students are caught with alcohol on University property, they face severe consequences — or at least they're supposed to.
Despite one's opinion about this policy, it is a policy. And that means that it should be uniformly enforced, no matter what the event.
A couple of weeks ago at the Rock Chalk Ball, part of the KU Alumni Association's fund-raiser honoring
Drinking at special events should be subject to scrutiny received by Housing residents
Rock Chalk scholars, there was underage drinking with no reprimand by University officials. On account of the stature of the event, wine was served with dinner to all who wanted some. There also was an open bar. Some underage students were allowed to drink at the event, while socializing with administrators.
This seems awfully hypocritical in light of the University's strict enforcement of the zero-tolerance alcohol policy in residence and scholarship halls. By failing to enforce the policy at this
If the University is serious about enforcing its alcohol policy, as well as other stringent policies, it should make its actions consistent with its words. If underage students are not allowed to drink anywhere on campus, they shouldn't be allowed to do so at an University event.
event, the University sent a confusing message — administrators at least tacitly condoned underage drinking at special events.
If the administration is serious about zero-tolerance, it should not allow alcohol to be served at events with underage students in attendance. This would be a small sacrifice by the administrators, faculty and staff. It would send a clear, consistent message about alcohol to the student body.
Tabatha Beerbower for the editorial board
Spending limits should be mandatory
As Student Senate elections draw near, the issue of campaign spending limits should be at the forefront of campus debate.
The spending limit up for discussion in Senate certainly is a step in the right direction, but because it would be voluntary severely limits its possible effectiveness. If a candidate may choose whether he or she would abide by the limit, the point of even having such a limit is fairly moot.
In national politics, the constitutionality of campaign spending limits has been the subject of much heated debate. While one side argues that spending money on a political campaign is akin to constitutionally protected free speech, the other responds with the charge that true democracy
Fair elections require that Student Senate candidates have equal resource bases
only can be achieved when there exists relative financial parity between rival candidates.
While both sides no doubt have strong arguments, the fact that no one disputes is, all else being equal, that the candidate with more financial resources often has a substantial advantage.
from other institutions. Because the primary goal of a university is the education of its students, all facets of university life should be considered from that viewpoint.
In the case of student elections, the overriding concern should be that students are given a chance to hear all perspectives in order to judge for themselves which candidate would best represent them. To the extent that some candidates have a far greater resource base with which to propagate their views, this opportunity is lessened.
Regardless of the outcome of this debate on a national scale, a university environment is distinct from the outside world and should, in some circumstances, regulate itself differently
Only if all candidates are restricted to a preset amount of money and are held to that standard by effective enforcement can our elections truly serve as instruments of our educations.

Perspective
Political game not same as that on playing field
In Nebraska, where football is religion, former Cornhuskers coaching legend Tom Osborne recently announced his entry into politics. One of his opponents for the district's House of Representatives seat likened the race to running against God — a statement not far from the truth.
Osborne joins a long list of sports legends, such as presidential hopeful Bill Bradley, Oklahoma Reps, Steve Largent and J. C. Watts, Jr., and Kansas Rep. Jim Ryun, who decided that they could run the country better than politicians could.
These sports field warriors are similar to war heroes of the 1800s, such as William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor and Ulysses S. Grant, whose campaigns

Osborne has name recognition that will far outpace any of his opponents. His name in Nebraska is greater than Roy Williams' is in Lawrence. The Omaha World-Herald called Osborne the most recognizable living Nebraskan. It will be difficult for his opponents to compete with that.
ignored all of the issues and rallied around their successes on the battlefield. These athletes have a distinct advantage that makes the outcome of the elections almost inevitable.
Sports stars have the luxury of having their sports star friends campaign for them. On the day of Osborne's announcement, Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder and former Oklahoma quarterback turned-representative J. C. Watts, Jr., endorsed his campaign. A load of other famous Nebraska football heroes can be expected to come out in droves for their beloved coach.
Having rich, recognizable friends also makes fund raising easier. Osborne said he would not take big money from individuals or groups and would have a lower limit on individual donations than federal law allowed.
While this is a noble gesture. when Tom
Osborne come looking for money, it would be blasphemous in Nebraska not to give it to him. Probably Osborne's toughest competition, longtime Republica insider John A. Gale, said that since Osborne announcement, contributions to his own cam sign were harder to find than a Colorado fan in Nebraska.
The ability to raise funds also has made it possible for Osborn to forge ties to a political party. A self-professed non-partisan, Osborne admitted that he didn't understand partisan politics. He plans on siding with whichever side rings truer to him dependi ng on the issue.
This independ lent spirit makes it difficult for voters to know what Osborne believes. And the other candidate t es can't risk attempting to pin down Osborne stance on the issues for fear of raising voters' indignation.
Osborne's cel brity status makes him immune to answering tugh policy questions. If he ever gets stumped in a debate, he can pull an anecdote from 'Husl elgory days and have the entire audience clapp ing and cheering for him. Quite an easy way to a void a tough question. And no candidate will a attack Dr. Tom — that would be as heretical as inst ting Nebraska football itself.
Name recognition, the ability to raise cash, big name friends aided protection from attacks means that Osborne voted on the election before his campaign even stated. This formulaic approach sports stars employs it makes it easy for them to win for all the wrong reasons. Their accomplishments on the sprints field overshadow their political agendas. In fact, they really need not have an agenda at all.
Until voters skmore from their elected officials, this tren d will continue. Voters need to realize that a candidate's ability to win three national cham pionships or play in seven pro bowls has no b aring on ability to be an effective leader.
May the voter of Nebraska elect the best candidate based on his or her stance on issues, and not his or her stance on the playing field.

state only when most people seem to mind. They don't just defend the upstanding citizen whose rights are violated by an overzealous government.
The ACLU fights the fights that no one else will take on. It protects the speech we hate, attacks the traditions that many love and defends the basest of criminals. And well it should. Because it's also defending the Constitution.
It's not the non-offensive speech that needs protecting. It's the speech that makes your skin crawl, your jaw lock, your fists clench. It's the criminal whose crimes are so abhorrent, so vicious, who is so undeserving of anything but death itself who needs defending. These are the burdens of our Constitution. Everyone has the
right to free sp ech. Everyone is entitled to due process. Ther is separation between every church and ev ry state.
Maybe that's too black and white. What if we softened it up little bit? We could let Congress draw the lines, or if you'd prefer, each community could defineermine which rights apply to which people. And nobody would be offended, nobody would be denied their traditions ... and nobody would be free. It's all or nothing, folks. You either have free speech or you don't. You either separate church and state or you don't.
The ACLU is here to see that we do. Since 1920, it has been fighting for individual civil liberties, and w hile it rarely fights alone, it frequently has led the charge. It fought McCarthyism and won. It fought racial segregation and wo n. It fought coerced prayer in school and wo n. It fought for abortion rights and won.
Like the ACL U or not, most of us have been the beneficiaries from its efforts. If you lived in a residence or scholarship hall, you benefited from the "reasonable expectation of privacy" doctrine. Those in public schools were the beneficiaries of numerous Supreme Court decisions that determined that the Bill of Rights, and free speech in particular, applied inside school walls. And with Miranda warnings, rights to an attorney, etc., the list goes on and on. There's a good chance that when you say, "But they can't do that!" it's because the ACLU fought for it.
But none of these battles are through. Every day somebody challenges the principles of the Bill of Rights: A rally is prohibited, a book is banned, an unful search occurs, a person is discriminated against.
I'm not exact the biggest fan of the United States. But I believe with great conviction that the U.S. institution is the greatest in the world. The A CLU is the one dedicated to defending it.

University recognition of heritage not vital to self-image, identity
Rarely does a story touch me as deeply as Kami Bremyer's feature in the Feb. 7 edition of the Kansan, entitled "Multiraciual students struggle to identify heritage at University." As a freckled white girl, this is an issue that I've struggled with since I first came to the University of Kansas.
While my freckled status is hardly considered a race, it only adds to my difficulty in

We have no acknowledged freckled history month. Because one's pride and identity obviously should come from characteristics that are inherent in oneself, rather than qualities that are developed through proper choices and hard work, we freckled people have to find quiet pride in the skin color that is overlooked by much of the world.

Tragedy strikes Littleton again
The Associated Press
LITTLETON, Colo. — Two Columbine High sweethearts were found dead early yesterday after a shooting at a sandwich shop within sight of their school.
The bodies of Nicholas Kunselman, 15, and Stephanie Hart, 16 were discovered inside the Subway shop where Kunselman worked. Investigators did not disclose a motive but ruled out murder-suicide.
A Subway employee driving past the store noticed a light inside the store about 1 a.m. Because the business was supposed to be closed, the woman stopped, went inside and discovered the bodies.
Jefferson County sheriff's spokesman Steve Davis said the cause of death had not been determined, and he said he did not know whether a weapon had
been found. Investigators were reviewing a videotape from a surveillance camera inside the restaurant.
The shooting was the latest in a string of tragedies that have hit the Denver suburb since teen-age gunmen Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and a teacher at Columbine on April 20 and then committed suicide.
Classes remained in session yesterday, but at least 100 students stayed away.
it reminds me of everything," said Nathan Vanderau, an 18-year-old senior who knew some of the victims of last year's shooting as well as Monday's victims and is in counseling. "It's just like flashbacks."
Among the other incidents that have added to the unease in the community;
In October, the mother of a student partially paralyzed in the massacre shot herself
to death.
- On Feb. 1, the body of an 11-year-old boy was found in a trash bin within blocks of the school. No arrests have been made.
Last week, a Florida man pleaded guilty in Denver to sending a Columbine student an Internet message threatening to finish the massacre. The threat prompted officials to close the school for the Christmas holidays two days early. He faces up to five years in prison.
News of another shooting in Littleton resonated in the Statehouse in Denver, where the House debated gun restrictions that were drafted in part because of the Columbine massacre.
"It's horrifying to me," said House Minority Leader Ken Gordon, a Denver Democrat who sponsored some of the measures. "We are not getting it done. We are not protecting the people of the state."

Former Indy driver dies in plane crash
LEESBURG, Ky. — Former Indy car driver Tony Bettenhousen Jr., the youngest son in a famous auto racing family, died in a plane crash yesterday on a Kentucky farm. He was 48.
Bettenhausen, an Indy car owner, his wife, Shirley, and two men were killed when the plane crashed about noon on a farm about 30 miles from Lexington, said Brad Stevens, an executive with Bettenhausen Racing in Indianapolis.
The two men killed were identified as Russ Roberts, a partner in Betenhausen's racing team, and Larry Rangel, an Indiana businessman.
The plane took off from Tri-City Airport in Blountville, Tenn., en route to Indianapolis, the Federal
Aviation Administration said. The Bettenhousens were returning home from CART team testing in Homestead, Fla.
Other details of the crash were not immediately known.
Bettenhausen's father raced at the Indianapolis 500 for 14 years from 1946-60 and was killed in practice in 1961.

Athlete seeks Olympic bid
Continued from page 10A
in the long run, it would really be great to throw with no pain."
Pain has nagged him during his entire career at Kansas.
"Basically, from my first and second year, my body took a beating from competing week in and week out," Russell said. "My knees are inflamed and swollen."
He has severe tendinitis in both knees and routinely works with a trainer to mend a nagging shoulder injury he sustained during his freshman year. The two black knee braces he wears remind him daily of what he has sacrificed for the sport. They are with him on the field, and they were with him last year when he placed third at both the NCAA Championships and the Canadian National meet in the lavelin.
And like his knee braces, his teammates also remind him of his sacrifices.
"At first, some of the guys said that they were disappointed that I was redshirting." Russell said. "It does kind of hurt, with as well as our team is doing, to know I'm not part of it, and that I'm not out there scoring points."
ing points. But with the outdoor season beginning March 16, Russell won't have to wait long to begin scoring points again and hit the mark he must throw, 270.6 feet, to make the Olympic team.
In Canada it's different, the LaRowe said. "He just has to throw 82 meters (270.6 feet) any time this spring and show fitness at the national meet."
Showing fitness means that Russell must place within the top three or four spots at the trials.
"Healthy or not, that shouldn't be a problem." Russell said. "Last year, I placed third even with my knees and my shoulder (injured)."
"They bumped up the requirement two meters, which was a shock to me," Russell said. "Right now, in the NCAA's there maybe two or three guys who have thrown close to that or have the capability to throw that."
The problem, however, comes in throwing the 270.6 feet.
Russell will have to better his personal best by 18 feet.
"I all I need is a good day," Russell said. "It would be nice if that was the

It also was the fourth straight week Stanford and Duke have been second and third in the Top 25.
Seton Hall moved in at No. 23, the Pirates' first ranking since they were sixth in the final poll of the 1992-93 season. Purdue came in at No. 25, the Boilermakers' first appearance since mid-December.
Men
Having finally reached the Top 25, Marquette now can focus on its next goal.
Marquette broke into The Associated Press women's basketball poll for the first time yesterday when it was voted into the No. 23 spot. The Golden Eagles (20-4) entered the rankings after winning 11 of their last 12 games, the last four on the road.
Included was a 21-point win at No. 20 Tulane.
Connecticut held the No.1 spot in the poll for the 15th straight week and led a top six that was unchanged.

10KW which makes it highly advertised "any preference, installation or discrimination made on male, color, religion, nationality, familial status, national origin, an intention, to make a complaint".
Let's re-read line 4 again.
"male, color, religion, nationality, familial status, national origin, an intention, to make a complaint". Yes.
Wait, the word "to make" in line 5 is italicized.

Chiefs, NFL fans flock Arrowhead for observance

Kansan sportswriter
By Zac Hunter
KANSAS CITY, MO. — It was a perfect day for football.
Fifty-degree temperatures and mostly sunny skies would have set the stage for a great day of Chiefs football at Arrowhead Stadium.
Sadly, though, not one of the 22,750 people who arrived at the stadium were concerned about football. They were there to pay their last respects to Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas, who died Feb. 8.
in the east end zone, where he terrorized opposing quarterbacks with the help of the crowd, Thomas' body was displayed for friends and fans to view for the last time. His body was surrounded by flowers and framed pictures under a white tent, which visitors passed through.
Next to the tent was a large area where visitors left objects that ranged from flowers to football cards, paying homage to their fallen hero.
Overhead, still-picture collages of his greatest moments as a player flashed on the JumboTron while soft music played on the public address system.
Outside the stadium, members of a local
church greeted those coming to visit Thomas' body with filers that pictured him sacking John Elway on one side and a story from the Bible on the other.
"We do know that wherever he is at he would want us to do this," said Mark Velder, Kansas City area resident, Denver Broncos fan and Thomas admirer.
Perhaps the greatest sign of the respect Thomas acquired throughout his career was the numerous people in Broncos attire waiting in line to pay their respects.
"He's the greatest linebacker ever to play the position," said Dave Kennicutt, Kansas City, Mo. "The man needs to be in the Hall of Fame. The man needs his number retired in this stadium."
A large group of people gathered at the stadium before the gates opened at 9 a.m., and people flowed in steadily all day.
Earlier in the day, at exactly 12:01 p.m., a B2 Stealth Bomber provided by Whiteman Air Force Base flew above Arrowhead as a tribute. Right after, members of the Chiefs organization, including owner Lamar Hunt and coach Gunther Cunningham viewed the body.
For those unable to attend the viewing yesterday, there will be a public memorial at Kemper Arena from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. today.
As popular as Thomas was on the football field, the overwhelming sentiment of the fans at the stadium was that they would miss him for his actions off the field.
"He just worked with the kids, and the kids loved him for what he did for them," Donna Barnes, Kansas City, Mo., said. "It's like a part of the city has died because he is gone."
Kansas to defend 3-0 record
Though the weather has been a little chilly, the Kansas baseball team is still hot after sweeping the University of Texas-San Antonio last weekend.
By Amanda Kaschubis sports@kansan.com
Konson sportwriter
The Jayhawks, 3-0, are the only unbeaten team in the Big 12 Conference, and they will try to improve their record at 3 p.m. today when they face rival Rockhurst, 2-1, at Hoglund Ballpark.
Senior Ryan Schmidt will start on the mound for Kansas. Schmidt started eight games last season for the Jayhawks, posting a 2-4 record. Coach Bobby Randall said he also would use juniors Eric Thompson, Sam Gish and Jeff Nelson out of the bullpen.
Schmidt will try to duplicate the performances of pitchers last weekend, when junior Pete Smart threw a complete game and shut out San Antonio in the first game. Senior Rusty Philbrick and sophomore Jeff Davis also pitched well, Randall said.
"With Rockhurst, we will face one of the best pitchers in the area," he said. "Pitchers can change the course of the game — ours did last weekend. It was a big accomplishment to win a doubleheader and rare to sweep a series. But we still need to increase our quality of play."
"Any time you throw up nine zeros, you keep putting the pressure on the other team's offense," he
Smart, who gave up only three hits at Saturday's game, said he didn't expect to go the distance.

KU
Randall: Pleased with the team's improvement so far
and it showed last weekend.
Junior Doug Dreher hit .583 with three doubles, five RBIs and four runs scored. He was named Big 12 Player of the Week yesterday.
"I'm excited and pleased to win the award," he said. "But I'm even more pleased that we swept the series. It's
difficult to win three straight from any team, and I think that reflects the improvement our team has made in the past year."
Overall, the 'Hawks hit 239 for the weekend. Senior Shane Wedd and junior Brandon Smith each hit a home run to add to the offense effort.
Now the Hawks have to focus on Rockhurst, ignoring their best start since 1987.
"We're just thinking about winning the next game," Randall said. "We had a lot of clutch hits and lots of guys contributed. It was a good start, but that's all it was. There's nothing that we can't improve upon."
Kansas Baseball Notes
A few players are nursing pains: Freshman second baseman Ryan Baty is recovering from a separated left shoulder and will return in two to three weeks. Sophomore Jason Appuhn, a starter in the outfield, is suffering from a calcium deposit on his rib cage that may have to be removed in surgery. Sophomore outfielder Matt Van Alsburg is suffering from a hernia and will have surgery this week. Junior pitcher Brandon O'Neal, who lead the team in ERA and home runs last season, is suffering from tendinitis in his throwing elbow. His status is questionable for upcoming action.
B-1 All-Stars to play in intramural game
By Ryan Malashack sports @kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
After a brief half-game suspension, Phi Psi B1-1 referred to by the team as the B1-Stars will be back to its antics, and maybe even some basketball, at 7 tonight in an intramural basketball game at Robinson Center.
The team was suspended two weeks ago for playing music when they entered the court, wearing wigs and being carried off by the crowd after a victory.
Team Captain Erik Lund said that the team discussed the situation with Mary Chappell, recreational center services director last weekend. Lund said he was pleased with the meeting and that he was looking forward to the matchup.
"We're going to have a lot of fun playing tonight," Lund said. "There should be a big crowd, and we're bringing back a lot of stuff for the game tonight."
He said there might be as many as 200 people in attendance.
Chappell described last Tuesday's incident as a combination of faults between the two parties.
"With that meeting, we were able to sort out what really occurred, and it was a little bit of faults on both sides," Chapell said.
One of Chappell's main worries throughout the situation was the safety of players on both teams.
"My concern has been the safety issue, and we've cleared that issue up," Chappell said. "We want to keep the spirit of the game, but we don't want anyone to get injured. We're mostly looking for good sportsmanship from them."

"First I'm asked, 'Are you a basketball player?'" Russell said. "Next, when I say no, it's 'Are you a football player?' And then I have to tell them I'm in track."
It's hard to miss Scott Russell.
The stares come first, then the questions.
At 6-foot-9 and 275 pounds, it's hard to put an eye past him.
Truth be told, he was a football player, and he also was a basketball player. He even played volleyball in high school. Yet heaving a javelin more than 200 feet down field was where he saw his future.
"My family was a basketball family," said Russell, whose father coaches a local college team. "My oldest sister played, my brother played. My youngest sister is in eighth grade right
Russell easily could have spent his college years in a basketball arena with basketball coaches from Marqueet, Eastern Michigan and Detroit Mercy phoning him up at his home in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
now, and she's like all of us, she's been playing since she was four."
"Don't get me wrong, I miss the other sports," Russell said. "But I really saw everything paying off right away in track. I didn't see anything beyond high school in basketball."
Russell, a sophomore, owns the Big 12 Conference meet record in the javelin throw at 252 feet, the Kansas records for the hammer at 213."7 and the 35-pound weight throw at 73.6."
Give him a shot put, discus, javelin or hammer throw, and he'll throw it as far as he can, which generally is farther than anyone else can even hope to do.
Now, he lives to throw.
"Based on what he threw last year, we thought he'd have a really good shot at making it," said Lorri LaRowe, throws coach and fellow Windsor native. "Tm
And, although he is hovering at the top of the collegiate throwing world, Russell has decided to set his sights even higher. In August, Russell will try out for the Canadian Olympic team.

excited because he's from my hometown, and being a fellow Canadian, that just adds to it."
"Throwing the weight indoors is really hard on his back," LaRowe said. "Since he's almost 6-foot-10, not throwing indoors would be better for him to prepare to throw javelin."
LaRowe began preparing Russell for his trials attempt in the fall, and sacrifices soon had to be made.
Russell, who was Kansas' leading indoor scorer last season, decided to become a redshirt this year's indoor season.
"One of their throwers even broke my indoor record. It stung a bit but really."
"At our first meet, Wyoming basically came here to throw against me," Russell said.
"It's easier on his body, and we have a lot more time to work on technique and getting stronger in the weight room," LaRowe said. "It's hard for him not to compete indoors, though, watching kids throw and knowing you can do it."
Russell found out just how hard sitting out could be at the first indoor meet of the season, the Kansas Invitational on Jan. 8.

Star athletes who hit it big should donate
What would you do with $25,000?
Buy a new car? Pay off school loans? Maybe donate it to an institute of higher learning?
Sure, 25 grand is a huge amount of money that most people don't have available - let alone are willing to donate to a place that just sucked that much or more from their wallet.
But Chiefs' wide receiver Kevin Lockett, 1996 Kansas State graduate, recently donated $25,000 to K-State on behalf of his Lock-ett Up Foundation. A new academic center was dedicated in his name, complete with 24 computers and a large study area — exactly the kind of thing athletes should do for their schools.
Unfortunately, most athletes aren't that generous.
Some would argue that athletes already have given back to their schools by playing in a certain sport that provides the school with an immeasurable amount of pride and satisfaction. If the athlete plays football or basketball, chances are he also assisted in generating revenue for the school.
So, what would you do with $36 million?
If you're former Jayhawks football player Dana Stubblefield, you keep it all.
The trade-off is fair, but if someone succeeds in his or her chosen profession, it's reasonable to give some money back to the University.
Stubblefield, who played here from 1990 to 1992, signed a seven-year, $36 million deal with the Washington Redskins two years ago. Now, the University has several projects coming up, including a new multi-million dollar weight room.
What greater gesture of appreciation could there be than donating a huge chunk of money to your alma mater in its time of need? The Dana Stubblefield Weight Room. It has a nice ring to it.
He could set a precedent for a slew of recent athletes who have hit the jackpot. Football players Gilbert Brown, Tony Blevins and basketball players Greg Ostertag, Reaf LeFrentz and Paul Pierce all are making big bucks and all could donate to Kansas. They wouldn't even have to donate to the Athletics Department.
Gale Sayers, football legend who played at Kansas from 1962 to 1964 and then starred with the Chicago Bears, donated money to the School of Education after he made money as a stockbroker.
It was a precedent set by other Kansas alumni, all of whom made money outside of athletics.
Ray Evans, football and basketball player in the 1940s, donated tens of thousands of dollars through the years as a Kansas City banker.
Forrest Hoglund, whose $1.8 million in donations resulted in the ballpark that bears his name, was a baseball player at Kansas from 1954-56. The chairman and CEO of Enron Gas and Oil Co., Hoglund has said that his desire for Kansas to have a first class facility was the driving force behind his donations.
Jim Herschberger, a track sprinter form 1950 to 1952, gave more than $750,000 for track renovations during a 20-year period — money earned from his oil business.
These donations and others became necessary for the University to build new facilities, both in the Athletics Department and in schools.
Former athletes do pay back their scholarships in some form — about 300 have in the past 10 years — but that's just the start. If the recent graduates who have hit the sports jackpot would donate money to Kansas, it would set an incredible precedent for future athletes. The money could be used for anything in the athletics department or the University, and the athlete would be immortalized in a gesture of incredible kindness.
That way. everyone wins.

Kansas considers new DUI laws
WWW.KANSAN.COM
Drunken drivers could face stiffer costlier penalties
By Katrina Hull writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
TOPEKA-The cost of drinking, driving and getting caught could be going up.
Kansas legislators are considering new laws that would be costly to would be drunken drivers, including implementing the ignition-interlock device — a Breathalyzer linked to a car's ignition system.
Jerry Gentry, from Kansas Ignition Interlock, said the cost to the driver at $2
per day was less than a few beers at the bar. However, the year-long total is about $750 per vehicle.
"It's very economical comparable to drinking and driving and what that would cost," Gentry said.
The Senate and House Judiciary committees heard testimony yesterday on proposals requiring a twice-convicted drunken driver's vehicle either to be impounded, immobilized or have an ignition-interlock device installed.
Impounding would confiscate the vehicle, while immobilizing would deactivate a vehicle. Both would occur during the yearlong license suspension for a second DUI conviction.
Ignition-interlock devices would be required for one year after the suspension was completed.
Sheila Walker, director of vehicles for the Department of Revenue, said that
impounding and immobilizing were virtually impossible to enforce
"We have no effective way to match drivers to their vehicles." Walker said.
At least 534 licensed Kansas drivers have some form of the name John Smith and 822 vehicles are registered to a John Smith,
KANSAS
Legislature
The Kansas Department of Transportation urged legislators to pass at
If legislators don't elect to enforce one of the three options by Oct. 1, federal highway money will be transferred out of the state's road construction and maintenance fund and into a safety fund.
least one option, but senators questioned the consequences of not complying with federal law and the proposal's usefulness.
"I was under the impression that we were making progress in drunk driving," said State Sen. Edward Pugh, R-Wamego.
Rosalie Thornburgh, KDOT bureau chief of traffic safety, said that in general, drunken-driving fatalities and accidents were going down.
The department won't lose money for not complying, but up to $6.4 million per year would no longer be available for the department's main expense of maintaining and building roads. Thornburgh said.
The Senate committee took no action yesterday, and legislators said they were sketched new laws would be effective.
"The goal is reducing DUIs," said State Sen. Marge Petty, D-Topeka. "It seems to me that a lot of these methods are Band-Aids."
IGNITION-INTERLOCK DEVICES
False or filtered breath:
With the newest ignition-interlock devices, a car will not even start if its driver doesn't pass an installed breath test. And technology has made beating the system pretty difficult:
Devices require a hum tone during the test to prevent intoxicated drivers from breathing through charcoal, which absorbs alcohol or breathing through a plastic bottle with a hole in the bottom to force clean air into the machine.
Fake test:
Having a sober person take the test to start the car won't work, either. The devices have a rolling retest, requiring drivers to take the test at intervals while driving or the car's lights will begin flashing and the horn honking.

Deliveries aren't easily carried out

Gated apartment complexes create obstacles for drivers
Several times a night, Sarah Mai sits in her car outside apartment-complex gates with pizza in hand — waiting.
She waits for customers to buzz her in and unlock the gate so she can deliver the pizzas.
"It's very time consuming," said Mai, a delivery driver for Papa John's Pizza and KU graduate, of buzzing customers who may not answer. "The more time it takes to get in, the more behind we get and the less money we make."
The flower rush on Valentine's Day didn't cause as much unwarranted frustration for local florists, however.
"It's not a real big deal for us," said
Susan Engle, co-owner of Englewood Florist, 1101 Massachusetts St., of the gated complexes. "Most of our deliveries go out in the day when the gates are unlocked."
Some complexes leave the gates unlocked throughout the day and then lock them in the evening — making daytime deliveries a snap, but the late night ones more tricky, Mai said.
"It's not a safety feature," Duckworth said. "It's an access gate designed to control traffic and for the most part it works really well."
Tuckaway Apartments, 2600 W. Sixth St., and Jefferson Commons, 2511 W. 31st St., both have gated systems and are two of the most inconvenient complexes to make deliveries to, Mai said.
Ryan Duckworth, leasing agent at Jefferson Commons, said the gates were only intended to control traffic around the complex.
"It just doesn't make sense to me," Mai said. "If some customers hand out the code to any delivery person, ther what's so secure about it?"
"I don't think it's necessary because it doesn't do what it is supposed to do." Coenen said of the gate. "It had been broken open for the past couple days, and last night when I came home someone had shut it and it wouldn't open."
Delivery drivers and residents disagreed.
Coenen said that guests and delivery drivers could just follow other cars though once a code had been entered.
Stephanie Coenen, Overland Park senior and Jefferson Commons resident, said the gate had been broken for portions of the past few weeks.
"I don't think it really makes a difference." Coenene said. "It stays open for a long time and like five cars can go through at a time."
Some residents and drivers say the gates are not a problem, however.
Matt Klein, shift supervisor at Yello Sub, 1814 W. 23rd St., said finding a resident's last name on a complex directory and punching in that code wasn't much of a hassle.
"Once you find the place, it isn't really tough," Klein said.

Opposing panelists argue KU seal, evolution issues
Kansan staff writer
By Jim O'Malley
The KU seal probably can survive First Amendment challenges, but the Kansas State Board of Education's decision to deemphasize evolution won't if the purpose of the decision was to advance religion, panelists agreed last night at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
It was surprising because the discussion on religion, government and the First Amendment was sponsored by two groups often perceived as opposites.
The KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union brought in Nadine Strossen, national president of the ACLU and professor of law at New York University.
The KU Federalists, the local chapter of the conservative Federalist Society, brought in Nicole Garnett, professor of law at Notre Dame and a former clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Mike Davis, KU professor of law, was the third panelist.
Garnett said the First Amendment required the government to be neutral toward religion. At first glance, the seal doesn't look neutral, she said, but many religious expressions in government exist — including Congress starting the day with a prayer.
None of the legal tests used by the Supreme Court to resolve religion cases work, she said, so she came up with the "no way in hell" test.
"There's no way in hell the Supreme Court is going to tell the University of Kansas it can't use its seal," she said.
After all, the Supreme Court sits in a courtroom that displays the Ten Commandments and Moses, Garnett said, and would justify the symbols by calling them secular.
But Garnett said that as a religious person, she wasn't entirely comfortable with that because she saw them as religious symbols.
Stossen said that was one of the reasons the ACLU supported the separation of church and state: Government involvement corrupts religion. She said many people the ACLU represented were religious.
Strossen said the KU seal might be constitutional.
Davis said the long history of the seal would support its constitutionality. He also referred to another recent campus controversy — the one about the Christmas tree in Strong Hall. He said Christmas trees were secular symbols.
"You don't have to take it down, which we did." Davis said.
The panelists agreed that if the Kansas State Board of Education had a religious purpose for de-emphasizing evolution, that would violate the First Amendment. But Garnett said she didn't think the removal of evolution violated the Constitution.
Davis said that he wasn't so sure but that there probably couldn't be a legal challenge until a school district took some action based on the standards.

Lecture, discussion on racism canceled
The event was to have taken place at 7 p.m. in the Multicultural Resource Center.
The lecture and discussion "Racism 2000: Program on Racism at KU" was canceled last night because the speaker did not arrive on time because of a misunderstanding.
Alton Scales, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, was to speak and coordinate the discussion, but he arrived after the six people who had gathered left.
Scales said he was mistaken about the time of the event. He said he thought the program was scheduled for 8 p.m.
The event has not been rescheduled.

Manhunt for survivalist ends in Wyo. farmhouse
LUSK, Wyo. — The search for a Texas survivalist wanted in the killing of a farmer and the wounding of two law officers in Nebraska ended last night when the fugitive was wrestled to the ground after entering a couple's home.
Charles Lannis Moses Jr., a 31-year-old construction worker, had been the subject of a three-day manhunt that began in western Nebraska. Moses was accused of shooting two Nebraska police officers on Saturday and gunning down a farmer on Monday.
He had outrun authorities in the hills just beyond the Nebraska-Woming state line.
Moses was caught around 8:40 p.m. yesterday after entering a farmhouse, where the occupants wrestled a firearm away from him and called police, said Sgt. Troy McLees of the Woming State Patrol.
Moses was not injured but he was taken to a hospital for injuries he suffered in a shootout with Nebraska
officers on Saturday night, Lees said.
IRS announces plan for friendlier letters
Users on Saturday night, Leses said. Earlier in the day, Moses sped away and a number of state troopers, county deputies and the FBJ joined in pursuit until Moses crashed his vehicle into a ditch. He then fleed into a remote, rocky, hilly area with a few widely scattered ranches, and police expanded the manhunt after creeping up on his empty pickup.
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced yesterday it would be less confrontational in letters to taxpayers notifying them that employers, banks and associates might be contacted during a tax audit.
IRS Commissioner Charles Rossotti said that the number of such letters would be cut from 25 million to 8 million.
would be cut from 25 million to 8 million. The notices are required as fair warning by the 1998 RS overhaul passed by Congress that placed new emphasis on taxpayer rights, but the original versions drew immediate criticism last year.
Among other things, the notices were unnecessarily sent to all taxpayers who were audited and not just those from whom the IRS had tried and failed to get the needed information. They also contained heavy-handed wording, bluntly informing these taxpayers that neighbors, employers, employees and banks could be contacted during an audit.
The new notices will reflect long- standing IRS policy of resorting to third party contacts only when all else fails.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Ten goldfish were swimming safely in their blender aquariums yesterday after power to a controversial art exhibit was disconnected, Danish police said.
The display at the Trahopt Art Museum in western Denmark had let visitors decide whether to turn on 10 blenders, each containing a live goldfish and water.
Police order museum to spare lives of fish
Police ordered the power cut after two fish were killed at Friday's opening and animal rights activists filed a complaint.
Authorities launched an investigation after five more fish were killed when the power apparently was left on during the weekend.
Deputy chief constable Brigit Nielsen said yesterday that the blenders were disconnected from a power source Monday afternoon and it appeared the museum was following police orders. Museum director Peter Meyer still faced an undetermined fine for failing to do so immediately, she said.
Meyer said the exhibit did not encourage people to blend the fish but addressed ethical questions about death.

Hijackers, passengers reported to be related
KABUL, Afghanistan — While most passengers on the hijacked Afghan plane cowered in fear, dozens of others — many of them women and children — laughed, tossed aside their veils, and received the choicest food and drink from their captors.
They were the relatives of the hijackers, according to some of the freed hostages who returned to Afghanistan. Seventy-three passengers returned home; 74 freed hostages stayed in Britain either seeking asylum or to consider it.
Mohammed Shamsullah said the hijackers' goal was to seek asylum for themselves and their families. He said more than 30 of the people on the plane were relatives of the hijackers. Some passengers said as many as 40 were related.
The Ariana Airlines Boeing 727 was hijacked Feb. 6, shortly before arrival at the northern city of Mazare-Sharif after a flight from Kabul. Nine men jumped out of their seats, brandishing guns and knives. The hijacking ended Feb. 10 in Britain after a standoff with British air at an airport outside London.
Pinochet's health record ordered to be released
LONDON — The High Court yesterday ordered Britain to release a medical report assessing Gen. Augusto Pinochet's fitness for trial, saying the rights of countries seeking his extradition outweighed the former dictator's right to privacy.
The three-judge panel said Britain's top law enforcement official erred in not allowing Spain, Belgium, France and Switzerland to review the medical findings and show them to their own medical experts.
Secretary Jack Straw said he would turn over the report immediately. The nations have until Feb. 22 to offer their assessments of the findings.
Straw will issue his final ruling shortly after that, but he said he believed the medical report showed Pinochet is not mentally fit to stand trial. He says he is inclined to let Pinochet return to Chile rather than face extradition to Spain on charges of torture.
Pinochet was arrested in Oct. 1998 on a Spanish warrant while recuperating from back surgery in a London hospital. He has diabetes and suffered two small strokes last fall, and remains under police guard at a rented mansion outside the capital.

Watkins offers eating disorder screenings, help
By Warisa Chulindra

Kansan staff writer
Eating disorders are a problem in the United States, especially on college campuses, said Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins.
In the United States, 5 million to 10 million girls and women and 1 million boys and men have eating disorders, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
"It takes control of your life," she said. "It interferes with all aspects of your life. You become obsessed with your weight."
Students can learn more about bulimia, anorexia and binge eating, and how to deal with them at an eating disorder screening at 1 p.m. tomorrow at the first floor conference room in Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Watkins is one of 1,500 sites offering the program as a part of the Eating Disorders Awareness week, which is a part of the National Eating Disorders Screening Program. Watkins has participated in the program since it began in 1996.
In 1998, the nationwide screening drew 50,000 people. After the screening, 5,000 people sought treatment for eating disorders, and 30 percent of those screened reported improvement in their eating habits, according the American College Health Association Web site.
At the screening, a staff member from Counseling and Psychological Services will speak about eating disorders, then students can answer a questionnaire. While students wait for the results of the questionnaires, they will watch a short film about eating disorders. Afterwards, CAPS staff will speak to students individually about the results of the questionnaire and any student concerns.
In addition to the screening, a display and information table was set up Monday at the Kansas Union.
At 6 p.m. tomorrow in the Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall lobby, Chapman will speak about healthy eating in the residence halls.
Lorraine Tolbert, assistant complex director in charge of community development, said because GSP-Corbin was an all-women's residence hall, many residents expressed interest about healthy eating.
Eating disorders often stem from unrealistic expectations, said Mae Sokol, director of the Menninger Eating Disorders Program in Toopeka.
"I've heard a lot of women talking about eating right," she said. "Everyone could be a bit better about eating better."
"What's fashionably thin and what's realistic are often quite different and varies from person to person," she said. "Trying to achieve an unrealistic weight or body image through excessive dieting, exercising, overeating, using pills or binging and purging can lead to health problems that may last a lifetime or cut short a life."

City checks into Marriott
By John Audlehelm
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
City commissioners were pleased by last night's proposal for a Marriott hotel in the Rivertron Plaza, but said they wanted to hear input from Lawrence citizens before making a final decision.
"It appears to be a very viable program." Mavor Vr Hodges said.
He joked that he was encouraged because the hotel, which would be called SpringHill Suites, would be the first ocean-view hotel in Kansas.
The proposed SpringHill Suites would occupy 40 percent of the Riverfront Plaza, at West Sixth and New Hampshire streets, and would
be completed late this year. Its 108 rooms would face the Kansas River.
its developers wanted three things from the city: 138 parking spots, reduced ground lease payments and a portion of the guest tax the hotel would generate.
Of the three demands, commissioners were most concerned about the guest tax.
"I don't think we want to get into a stampede for the guest tax giveaway," commissioner Mike Rundle said.
Bill Newsome, owner of Southwind Capital Limited Liability Corporation, one of the members of Riverfront L.L.C., said developers asked to keep part of the
guest tax because the hotel would operate meeting space for about 300 people.
He said that hotel developers want

enough to compensate hotel owners for building it.
Hodges said the Convention and Visitors Bureau, 734 Vermont St., would have a meeting March 1 to discuss the guest tax.
He said he also wanted to hear from downtown businesses on what they thought about the hotel.
In other news, the City Commission:
Committed about $75,000 to help pay architects to design the parking structure at the 900 block of New Hampshire Street. Jeff Shmaiberg, one of theblock's developers,said the money was necessary to keep the Downtown 2000 project on schedule.

By BriAnne Hess writer@kansan.com Kanson staff writer
Zach Schneiderman said he wanted to leave something nice for the University of Kansas when he graduated this May.
His farewell will take the shape of a black videocassette that captures student life for the 1999-2000 academic year. The project is a directed study under Matt Jacobson, assistant professor of theater and film.
Schneiderman, Northridge, Calif., senior, started the project last summer and said he hoped to finish filming by spring break so he had time to edit the footage and add music before the semester ended.
"It's been a wild ride doing this, but now I'm in the bulk of editing and haven't interviewed all I want." Schneiderman said.
Schnelderman said he would like to interview at least 30 KU students from a variety of backgrounds in order to illustrate the diversity on campus.
"The biggest thing at the University is sports, but how was I going to get access?" Schneiderman said.
University Relations, the Athletics Department, Fox Sports and ESPN came to the rescue.
One of the challenges Schneiderman said he faced was acquiring access to sports footage.
"ESPN was the best," he said. "They treated me like a king—I was amazed."
Schneiderman said that landing an interview with Dick Vitale, ESPN sportscaster, was a lot easier than he thought it would be. He left a message on the answering machine at ESPN, and the network called back two days later to tell him to meet Vitale at Allen Fieldhouse two hours before game time.
ESPN also gave Schneiderman access to its footage. Fox Sports let him use the rights to the football game against Nebraska, and the Athletics Department gave him access to the field for the Missouri football game.
Schneiderman said that he
could not sell the video yearbook because of the deals he had made to acquire the rights to networks' broadcasts but that he wasn't looking to make a profit from the video, either. He said his goal for the project was an all-campus screening in May.
Jacobson said that the scope of the project was too large to fit into the standard video-production class because of the amount of work required and the need for focus on one theme throughout the year.
"Zach needs to be focused as the director of a year-long scrap
book of the experience of a student at KU," Jacobson said.
Jacobson said Schneiderman had recognized that this was a watershed year to record the lives of University students because of the year 2000.
"From the footage I've seen, it's looking like a good representation so far," Jacobson said.
Schneiderman said his idea for a video yearbook was sparked by a film made by members of the University of Kansas class of 1969 called Where is Yesterday?, which captured the music, clothes and issues of the year.

City checks into Marriott
By John Audelheim
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
City commissioners were pleased by last night's proposal for a Marriott hotel in the Riverfront Plaza, but said they wanted to hear input from Lawrence citizens before making a final decision.
"It appears to be a very viable program." Mayor Vory Hodges said.
He joked that he was encouraged because the hotel, which would be called SpringHill Suites, would be the first ocean-view hotel in Kansas.
The proposed SpringHill Suites would occupy 40 percent of the Riverfront Plaza, at West Sixth and New Hampshire streets, and would
be completed late this year. Its 108 rooms would face the Kansas River.
Its developers wanted three things from the city: 138 parking spots, reduced ground lease payments and a portion of the guest tax the hotel would generate.
Of the three demands, commissioners were most concerned about the guest tax.
"I don't think we want to get into a stampede for the guest tax giveaway," commissioner Mike Rundle said.
Bill Newsome, owner of Southwind Capital Limited Liability Corporation, one of the members of Riverfront L.L.C., said developers asked to keep part of the
guest tax because the hotel would operate meeting space for about 300 people.
He said that hotel developers want
ed to have the meeting space because of its proximity to down town Lawrence, but the nominal revenue it would generate was not

enough to compensate hotel owners for building it.
Hodges said the Convention and Visitors Bureau, 734 Vermont St., would have a meeting March 1 to discuss the guest tax.
He said he also wanted to hear from downtown businesses on what they thought about the hotel.
In other news, the City Commission:
Committed about $75,000 to help pay architects to design the parking structure at the 900 block of New Hampshire Street. Jeff Shmalberg, one of the block's developers, said the money was necessary to keep the Downtown 2000 project on schedule.
Authorized city manager Mike Wildeng to spend about $26,000 to hire a parking consultant to work with the Downtown 2000 architects.

Zach Schneiderman said he wanted to leave something nice for the University of Kansas when he graduated this May.
His farewell will take the shape of a black videocassette that captures student life for the 1999-2000 academic year. The project is a directed study under Matt Jacobson, assistant professor of theater and film.
Schneiderman, Northridge, Calif., senior, started the project last summer and said he hoped to finish filming by spring break so he had time to edit the footage and add music before the semester ended.
“It’s been a wild ride doing this, but now I'm in the bulk of editing and haven't interviewed all I want.” Schneiderman said.
Schneiderman said he would like to interview at least 30 KU students from a variety of backgrounds in order to illustrate the diversity on campus.
University Relations, the Athletics Department, Fox Sports and ESPN came to the rescue.
"The biggest thing at the University is sports, but how was I going to get access?" Schneiderman said.
One of the challenges Schneiderman said he faced was acquiring access to sports footage.
"ESPN was the best," he said. "They treated me like a king — I was amazed."
Schneiderman said that landing an interview with Dick Vitale, ESPN sportscaster, was a lot easier than he thought it would be. He left a message on the answering machine at ESPN, and the network called back two days later to tell him to meet Vitale at Allen Fieldhouse two hours before game time.
ESPN also gave Schneiderman access to its footage. Fox Sports let him use the rights to the football game against Nebraska, and the Athletics Department gave him access to the field for the Missouri football game.
Schneiderman said that he
could not sell the video yearbook because of the deals he had made to acquire the rights to networks' broadcasts but that he wasn't looking to make a profit from the video, either. He said his goal for the project was an all-campus screening in May.
Jacobson said that the scope of the project was too large to fit into the standard video-production class because of the amount of work required and the need for focus on one theme throughout the year.
"Zach needs to be focused as the director of a yearlong scrap
book of the experience of a student at KU." Jacobson said.
Jacobson said Schneiderman had recognized that this was a watershed year to record the lives of University students because of the year 2000.
"From the footage I've seen, it's looking like a good representation so far," Jacobson said.
Schneiderman said his idea for a video yearbook was sparked by a film made by members of the University of Kansas class of 1969 called Where is Yesterday?, which captured the music, clothes and issues of the year.

Lawrence public schools need reform
As evidenced by the publication of recent test scores, Lawrence public schools are experiencing some scholastic woes.
In the state of Kansas, an average of 77 percent on standardized reading testing is the standard of excellence for elementary students, and 81 percent for secondary students.
It is time for Lawrence to re-evaluate its public education system in light of the poor test results. It must decide what it can do to help its children succeed academically.
Each Lawrence public school has failed to achieve the standard of excellence. The highest score among Lawrence elementary schools was Hillcrest's, with an average of 69.3 percent on standardized reading tests.
Recent test scores indicate that local education standards are not up to par
Among junior and senior high schools, West Junior High took the honors with 66.5 percent. In addition, all the schools failed to reach the standard of excellence on math and writing tests.
It appears that Lawrence is a local symptom of a national malady. Internationally, our students continue to slip further behind other nations. The bottom line is that our public education system is failing. It doesn't have to.
problem is a matter of pouring more money into the system. Others state that the current woes are the classic example of needing more teachers and smaller classrooms. This is the path taken by private and parochial schools, and their standardized test results are stellar, especially in Lawrence. Others ask if we demand enough from our students academically.
Some speculate that solving this
It is possible the problem is even more basic. Has the emphasis of our public education system strayed too far from the traditional three R's of reading, writing and arithmetic? Have we lost the balance between teaching socialization skills and academics? We need to remember that the focus of standardized testing and public education is academic excellence.

Football player's death reminds us what matters
Three scribbled pages into a column about the possible benefits of retiring the Jaybowl, I walked out of the kitchen of my scholarship hall and into the recreation room, where my roommate sat watching ESPN.
At six in the morning, he normal sleeping schedule while I was at the dawn of a messed-up one. I sat reading the pages, finally coming together from muddled notes into what I thought would be a well-organized, if unpopular, column.
At six in the morning, he was just starting a
JAMES TROUVILLE
After the string of commercials segued into Sportscenter, the announcers reminded me of Derrick Thomas' death, something I had learned of only a few hours before.
The Sportscenter report featured highlights of
Thomas' days as a linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs, stories of his community involvement and interviews with coaches and teammates. They spoke of his outstanding athletic ability, his giving heart and the sadness of his unexpected death. Even the statement issued by the commissioner, something that usually drips with sensitively phrased formality, sounded remarkably heartfelt.
Luke
Wetzel

poinion@kansas.co
The night before, Thomas had passed away in a Miami hospital. When I found out the news, I didn't know what to think.
I only knew this man from watching him play football and reading about him in the newspaper, but the only reason I wasn't getting completely emotional was I had been focusing on not letting the piano music in the background get to me.
Now, watching the stunned faces of those who had coached and played with him, my own lack of proper expression came back to me. I sat aside my notebook and stared at the screen, trying to figure out why this was affecting me so much.
I looked back at the column I had been working on for about the past hour, and I wasn't the least
bit interested in continuing it. Making a point and sounding informed and clever suddenly seemed rather trivial. At this point I realized my connection with these events.
During winter break, my grandmother had been hospitalized because of illness and heart complications. My parents, especially my mother, had spent many nights with her in the intensive care unit, either in her room or in the lobby. After coming home each time, my mom told me how much it made her put things in perspective.
Being caught up in a busy schedule of work, sleep and going out with friends, I listened to her but didn't know exactly what she meant. Until then I had relatively little experience with death, and because I hadn't yet been to see my grandmother at the hospital, I couldn't relate from firsthand experience.
On my way back up to college, I was able to visit my grandmother, who is now at home and in much better health. But even then, I don't think I really understood what my mother was talking about. Now, strangely enough, watching the television report was beginning to make me understand.
I think it might have been because of the sudden nature of Thomas' death. It was hard to believe that someone I had seen maul quarterbacks a few months ago was no longer living. The other thing that stuck out in my mind was how the report centered on Thomas' off-the-field accomplishments instead of his football career.
Chiefs coach Gunther Cunningham said he had never looked at Thomas just as a football player, emphasizing only Thomas' strengths as a person. I don't want to eulogize Thomas because I didn't know him personally, and I don't want to wring out a bunch of tired lessons about human mortality. I probably won't understand these issues until they hit closer to home, if I ever understand them at all. But Thomas' sudden death and the giving way he lived helped me better realize what my mother had learned during winter break — not to forget what's important in life.

Civil disobedience isn't always such a bad option
The lack of consideration by the Legislature of student rights in this regard has been disconcerting, but not really surprising. As one astute Kansan columnist recently noted, we don't vote and we certainly don't contribute any money. Therefore, because traditional lobbying has failed, using student leadership for the common good is the only key to solving the quandary we are in.

Furthermore, it's a presidential and statewide election year, and our budget has been cut by a sizable amount. Even worse, the Kansas Legislature has coordinated with the Board of Regents in demanding that the KU student body

We urge our leaders not to get caught up in the election and instead to start thinking about what they can actually do for the student body.

There are several important

dents working together in a little bit of good, old-fashioned, peaceful civil disobedience.
You don't believe us, do you? Here's an example: On the evening of Feb. 3, 1972, 75 women occupied the East Asian studies building to demand that the University of Kansas provide reasonable access to women's health care and child care, as well as institute a better system of Affirmative Action and add a women's studies department.
You know what happened? By the next morning, they had almost everything they had asked for. Many women's studies majors still are reaping the benefits of these women's accomplishments. They accomplished all of that here at the University in fewer than 24 hours.
Use your college experience for more than just getting a degree. There are so many resources and opportunities for people who want to get involved, lead and make this campus, city, state and world a better place. Go out and make a difference.
So, the point to take for you, the KU student, is that when your rights are being infringed upon and when the usual ways of doing things don't work, you have to change the rules. More bluntly stated, it doesn't really matter where you are from in Kansas: You need to be the biggest pain in your legislator's neck.
So, what can we do about it? Use the leadership options that the University offers to get to know other leaders from around campus and organize with them. Get to know administrators so that you are more effective as a leader. There are a whole series of leadership development conferences such as Stepping Stones, Leadershape, and Blueprints that will help you do exactly those things. In fact, Blueprints is this Saturday.

Scientist supports neo-Darwinian theory
In his letter in the Feb. 14 Kansan, Matthew Hastings asserts that many biologists, biochemists and mathematicians see the neo-Darwinian theory of evolution as fatally flawed and includes me among its critics. His "proof" for my disbelief in evolution is a quotation taken from Michael Behe's anti-evolution book, Darwin's Black Box. Behe (and Hastings) quote me as saying that "there is little evidence for the neo-Darwinian view: Its theoretical foundations and the experimental evidence supporting it are weak."
Unfortunately, Mr. Hastings failed to check the original
paper published in 1982. Had he done so, he would have seen that Behe not only took the original quotation out of context, but actually changed it to make it seem as if I were a detractor of Darwinism. The "neo-Darwinian" view I was attacking was but one small part of evolutionary biology; the debate about whether adaptations are built from many small mutations or a few large ones. The neo-Darwinian view has traditionally been the former, while my co-author and I argued that the latter view had been unjustly ignored.
Far from casting doubt on the entire enterprise of Darwinism, we couched our debate firmly within modern evolutionary theory. We doubted the exis-
natural selection.
It has long been a tradition of creationists to misquote biologists in hopes of portraying the scientific community as riven with doubts about evolution. What else can they do, because every scrap of scientific evidence supports evolution and refutes creationism? Hastings' assertion that many scientists find the theory of evolution "flawed" and "completely unworkable" is simply wrong. By avoiding the scientific issues and relying instead on specious quotations, Mr. Hastings firmly places himself within the dysfunctional family of creationists.

Speaker dispels breast implant myths

A few women giggled as they passed around the squishy, gel-filled packs. People gingerly accepted them and, after realizing they were not going to break, squeezed them.
About 20 people learned what silicone and saline breast implants felt like last night at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
John Baeke, a plastic surgeon at Park Place Plastic Surgery in Shawnee, spoke about breast reconstructive surgery and elective breast surgery to a predominately female audience. The presentation was a part of Breast Cancer Fund-raiser 2000, a week-long series of activities at the University of Kansas that alms to raise awareness about the disease.
Baeke passed around the implants to dispel the myth that they were not durable and even had an audience member step on an implant to prove his point.
"When you've got a guy on top of you," he said, "and you tell him to get off because you're afraid your implants are going to break, that's a pretty sad excuse."
Although breast implants have a 3 percent chance of breaking, they are incredibly tough, Baeke said.
He also presented a slide show displaying different options of breast reconstructive surgery and elective breast surgery.
Baeke said it was important the general surgeon and plastic surgeon worked together so that breast reconstructive surgery could be performed immediately after mastecoties. This way women would not have to wake up and deal with the emotions that accompany not having breasts, he said.
"When you've got a guy on top of you and you tell him to get off because you're afraid your implants are going to break, that's a pretty sad excuse."
John Baeke Plastic surgeon
Suzanne VanAnne, a registered nurse at Park Place Plastic Surgery in Shawnee, said that one out of every eight women would be diagnosed with breast cancer and that the key was early detection.
She said it often took a personal experience for people to become aware about breast cancer. Her mother died of breast cancer last year.
"I think whenever it hits close to home, you become more aware and more emotional," she said.
T. G. Watkins, Olathe sophomore, said he went because he wanted to learn more about breast cancer. He said his grandmother had both her breasts removed during Thanksgiving.
However, he said he was disappointed that much of the presentation seemed designed to sell breast implants.

New science building planned
An undergraduate science building could be built on campus in the near future.
"It would be an interdisciplinary, undergraduate science building," said Joe Heppert, associate professor of chemistry. "It is something that has been very, very high on the University's priority list."
The building would have science labs, computer facilities and lecture halls. Heppert said.
It would sit on the hillside between Malott and Wescoe halls, said Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor.
None of the buildings in that area would be demolished to make room for the building. Burg said.
Rich Givens, associate provost, said in the Science Education Task Force's Dec. 20 meeting that a group was looking at finance possibilities for the building, whose cost has yet to be determined.
Graduate programs would stay in their present buildings, but construction of the science building would open up those buildings.
"I think that the space freed up in Malott, Lindley, Haworth and others would be used for a variety of purposes," Heppert said.
The science building was something that the University had looked into long before the task force was formed, Burg said.
Chancellor Robert Menenway formed the task force last fall to increase research and development in science education, improve public understanding of science and improve science education for K-12 students, undergraduates and science majors.
"What we're trying to tackle is the teaching and learning of science," Burg said. "And the building will help us do that."
In addition to constructing an all-science building, the task force sent a letter of intent on Jan. 20 to the National Science Foundation
regarding the University's grant proposal to develop a center for science education at the University. In March, the University will submit its proposal.
It is requesting approximately $3 million for the center, Heppert said. The proposal, titled "Surmounting Barriers to Inquiry Learning," focuses on overcoming barriers to inquiry-based K-12 science education.
"We're still putting the proposal together," said Jim Ellis, associate professor of teaching and leadership. "It's a long way off. But if we got it, we would use it to reinforce and support things we want to do."
Day of prayers for Northern Ireland
1
Shantel Ringler, Lawrence sophomore, performs an a cappella compilation of religious songs during yesterday's University Day of Prayer for Students service in Danforth Chapel. About 20 students and campus ministers gathered for the event. The day was organized by the World Student Christian Federation and was sponsored by Canterbury House, Lutheran Campus Ministry, Ecumenical Christian Ministries, University Christian Fellowship and the United Methodist Campus Ministry. During the ceremony, scripture was read in English, German and Spanish. Prayers for peace in Northern Ireland and for children estranged from their families were among the sentiments expressed.

Group seeks money for speaker
By Erin R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Templin Revolution has had issues with free speech on campus in its three-year history, and the group's latest cause involves a controversial Supreme Court case.
The group will be asking Student Senate to finance a speaker familiar with the Southworth v. Grebe case in which three students filed suit against the University of Wisconsin. They objected to paying student fees that went to organizations that were against their beliefs.
"It's an important issue at every university," said Brian Bartelt,
one of Templin Revolution's 30 or so members and a West Des Moines, Iowa, junior. "Our main goal is more of a matter of student empowerment, but one of the issues we seem to be running into a lot is free speech."
The $1,080 requested would bring Robbin Hubbard, director for the Center for Campus Free Speech, to the University of Kansas in early April. Hubbard said the center, which is based in Washington, D.C., was a collective effort of university communities to ensure that student groups and activities were financed.
The case has special significance to Hubbard — she is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and ran in student government elections against one of the plaintiffs, Scott Southworth
Hubbard, who speaks at many universities, said she would give the audience some background on the case and address the future of financing student groups if she came to Lawrence.
But, if a ruling was made the speech's content could be altered, she said.
"At this point, our stance is that mandatory student fees should be acceptable." she said.
"She's real young, in her mid-20s," said Partha Mazumdar, Pittsburgh graduate student, who has heard Hubbard speak several times. "She's very knowledgeable as an academician about these issues, but she can talk about
them in a nonacademic way without dumbing it down."
Mazumdar said the case could have implications at the University, but that the situation at Wisconsin was different.
KU Student Senate rules and regulations state that student fees cannot go to groups that participate in partisan activities.
"The Wisconsin student government was funding some outrageous groups," he said, referring to a women's group that also campaigned for a politician, which violated the institution's policy of not funding political groups.
"We are on pretty solid ground that basically everybody who gets funding will continue to get funded," Mazumdar said.
Intellectual property policy awaits SenEx OK
By Ryan Devlin writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A new draft of the University's intellectual property policy remains in limbo until changes suggested by the provost can be considered further by the Senate Executive Committee.
The intellectual property policy establishes principles governing intellectual property rights between universities, faculty, staff and students. It is used to determine how revenues will be split among the involved parties when profit is gained from research or writing.
Provost David Shulenburger asked the committee that produced the new draft to consider minor changes to their proposal.
"We cannot change the Board's document at all." Shulenburger said. "It provides the overall guidance for our policy. Thus, the document only spells out the campus understanding of that policy."
Because the University's policy must comply with the Board of Regents' intellectual property policy, most of his changes were editorial, he said.
Ed Meyen, committee representative and professor of special education, said that he thought the provost's suggestions had been addressed and that the committee was essentially finished with the policy.
"The document basically belongs to SenEx now," Meyen said.
Jim Carothers, University Senate Executive Committee chairman and professor of English, said that the committee would wait until it met next week before the group made a decision.
Shulenburger said the most consequential change concerned ownership of copyrightable software. The original draft stated that the must University render a decision determining ownership within 45 days.
"Some matters are extraordinarily complex and take more than 45 days to resolve," he said. "For that reason, I suggested that a little flexibility be added."
Shulenburger said he was
pleased with the committee's changes.
Robert Vodicka, committee member and San Diego graduate student, said that the intellectual property policy might seem irrelevant to students but that it was something important for them to understand.
"For graduate students as well as undergraduates, especially those in the sciences, the chance that they might create or develop something of value while at KU is not impossible," he said. "If they do create something of value, there needs to be a policy that lays out the ground rules, that says, 'If there is money involved, here's how it will be divided up.'"
SenEx will meet Tuesday to discuss the revised draft.

N.Y. policeman testifies in immigrant murder case
The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — A third policeman charged in the shooting death of an unarmed immigrant testified yesterday that he started firing because he was certain his partner had been shot.
Officer Kenneth Boss said that when he got out of his unmarked patrol car outside the building where they encountered Amadou Diallo, he spotted Officer Ed McMellon lying on the ground.
"Ed was shot. That's all I could see," Boss said on the stand yesterday at the four officers' murder trial.
Boss said that he saw Diallo, a West African immigrant, in the rear of the vestibule of his New York City apartment building and that he fired because he thought he saw a gun.
The officer, Richard Murphy, later took the stand and gave a similar account. "There was not a doubt in my mind that [Dialio] had a gun. There was a feeling in my stomach that I was going to be hit at any second."
After Murphy's testimony, the trial was recessed until today.
Boss said that when the gunfire ended —
the four officers fired 41 shots, hitting Diallo
19 times — he ran to McMellon.
"I grabbed him and I started feeling his chest going. 'Where are you hit, where are you hit?' ... He said, "I'm not hit."
Diallo was holding his wallet, not a gun.
Boss said he went to his car and called for
an ambulance and police supervisor.
"I use distress." He said.
I was instructed, he said.
Diallo's slaying by the white officers on the night of Feb. 4, 1999, touched off widespread protests about alleged police abuse of minorities and an appeals court moved the case to Albany.
Officer Sean Carroll, the first officer to testify, claimed Monday that Diallo, a 22-year-old street vendor, fit the general description of a wanted rapist. He also said he suspected that Diallo might be committing a robbery because he was acting suspiciously.
"At the time what went through my mind was that we had a fleeing suspect." Boss said. "It didn't occur to me if he spoke English or not, or whether he was running because he was trying to get away from police or whether he was afraid of the police."
The defendants have pleaded innocent to second-degree murder, which carries a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
IRA withdraws from negotiations
The Associated Press
BELFAST. Northern Ireland — Stung by Britain's decision to suspend Northern Ireland's power-sharing government, the IRA deepened the province's political crisis yesterday by breaking off negotiations on disarmament.
In a hard-line statement, the Irish Republican Army accused Britain and the province's major Protestant party, the Uister Unionists, of ignoring its disarmament proposals.
"Both the British government and the leadership of the Ulster Unionist Party have rejected the propositions put to the [disarmment commission] by our representative. They obviously have no desire to deal with the issue of arms except on their own terms," an IRA representative said.
It was the IRA's failure to disarm that triggered the recent crisis, and lead Britain to suspend Northern Ireland's fledgling Protestant-Catholic government Friday.
Hours after the suspension, the IRA suggested it would be prepared to put its weapons stockpiles beyond use in certain political circumstances — a euphemism for disarmament. That shift broke new ground for the IRA, but it fell short of the clear-cut commitments being sought by the Ulster Unionists. In its statement yesterday, the IRA said it was withdrawing the offer.
Meanwhile, both Britain and Ireland were working to turn the process around.

PORTRAIT OF AN ACTIVIST
By
BENNETT C. ROSS
B
EN ZIMMERMAN IS NOT AN IMPOSING PRESENCE.
HE DOESN'T THUNDER, POUND THE TABLE OR CONDESCEND. NOW 81, THE ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR EMERITUS OF SOCIAL WELFARE WALKS SLOWLY, WEARS THICK GLASSES AND HAS A FRINGE OF WHITE HAIR. HE SPEAKS IN MEASURED BUT DETERMINED — TONES.
"To know Ben is to underestimate him," said Alice Lieberman, associate professor of social welfare and a friend of Zimmerman's.
A partial list of his activities gives a clearer picture.
Zimmerman has been active in the NAACP, the League of Women Voters and the Democratic Party. He co-founded the Freedom Coalition, a local gay and lesbian rights group. Five years ago, he spearheaded a campaign called Simply Equal that fought for the revision of the Lawrence Human Relations Ordinance to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The issue was politically charged enough to become an issue during the 1995 Lawrence City Commission election. In April of that year, Allen Levine, a candidate favorable to Simply Equal, was elected. He joined the re-elected Nalbandian, professor of public administration and government, and mayor Jo Andersen in voting for the changes. The revisions to the ordinance passed 3-2 on April 25. Zimmerman's 77th birthday.
Lawrence is the only city in Kansas to include such protections.
"It made a lot of people feel safer," Zimmerman said. "It's made Lawrence even more famous throughout the state than it once was. And it hasn't hurt Lawrence one bit."
Chris Hampton, Lawrence editor of the Liberty Press, a statewide monthly magazine aimed at the gay and lesbian community, worked with Zimmerman in the campaign.
"Ben knows how to work his connections like nobody I've ever seen," Hampton said. "I never knew what to expect when he'd call me, but it always made me feel like I was in on something really exciting."
A HUMBLE BEGINNING
Benjamin Hyman Zimmerman was born in 1918 in Syracuse, N.Y., to Russian-
immigrant parents.
The family of six was poor. Zimmerman's father worked as a peddler and small businessman selling jewelry and home furnishings, with the rest of the family pitching in — Ben handled the books with one of his sisters.
"It wasn't a easy life for anyone," he said.
Throughout these early years, Zimmerman's interest and passion for social issues was growing. He said he remembered following closely the case of the Scottsboro Boys, nine African-American youths arrested for the rapes of two white women, when he was 9 or 10 years old. The Scottsboro case was a landmark in the early civil rights movement; the convictions of the nine were overturned by the Supreme Court.
Zimmerman attended class the University of Syracuse, majoring in English with minors in drama and history. He served briefly in the army during 1941 and 1942, but poor eyesight meant he never saw combat or a foreign country.
Zimmerman returned to college in the late '40s, studying anthropology at Columbia University, where he was taught by world-renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead. He also traveled to Brazil to do field work.
Anne Zimmerman, Ben's only child, was born in 1954. Zimmerman and his wife, Margery, divorced when Anne was 5 years old. Margery Zimmerman left for Cuba in 1960 and lived there until 1998.
Ben Zimmerman raised Anne by himself, a situation unusual for the 1960s.
"I was very aware I didn't have the classic nuclear family," said Anne, who owns an architecture firm in Los Angeles.
AN EMERGING ACTIVIST
During the 1960s, Zimmerman worked for the Office of Economic Opportunity in Washington, D.C., on anti-poverty programs. He also was involved in the emerging civil rights and anti-war movements.
Anne Zimmerman said she remembered walking to demonstrations and protests on Constitution Avenue with her father. She carried a bag with rags soaked in water in case the two were tear gassed.
Zimmerman left government work in 1970 and worked briefly as a consultant. While consulting, he met Arthur Katz, then dean of the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare. Katz asked Zimmerman if he had considered teaching.
Zimmerman took a job at the University in 1972 and taught until 1984.
While he was teaching, Zimmerman became the faculty adviser for Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas — now called Queers and Allies. After retirement, he began working as an activist for the homosexual community in Lawrence.
Anne Zimmerman said her father didn't come out to her about his own homosexuality until 11 years ago.
"He visited me, and he was so uptight and so nervous," Anne said.
Zimmerman told her he was gay, and she said she had fieuded it out years before.
"He almost fell over backward," Anne
said. "He was so afraid I was going to reject him."
A LIFELONG COMMITMENT
In addition to his work in Simply Equal, last year Zimmerman coordinated the Kansas part of nationwide effort by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force called "Equality Begins at Home." He oversaw the publication of ads in more than 70 state newspapers advocating tolerance and respect for gavs and lesbians.
"He's had a lifelong commitment to civil rights for everyone," Lieberman said. "He wired in such a way that injustice drives him up a wall."
When Lieberman and others wanted to celebrate his 80th birthday, Zimmerman had one request.
He wanted it to be a fund raise as well. The "Ben-E-Fit" raised funds for Women's Transitional Care Services, the Freedom Coalition and the Lawrence-Topeka chapter of the Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.
"It was wonderful." Zimmerman said.
"The greatest party ever."
A RETREAT FROM THE SPOTLIGHT
Throughout the last year, Zimmerman has continued his activism in the Lawrence community but has decided to step back a bit.
He stopped granting interviews to students for assignments or newspaper stories shortly after the initial reporting for this article was completed.
"He said he doesn't want people to think he's the only member of an organization he's involved in," said Tim Brownlee, who works with Zimmerman on the Freedom Coalition. "I don't think it's important for him to get recognition all the time."
Zimmerman wants people to understand the Lawrence gay rights movement is larger than the efforts of one man, Brownlee said. The professor emeritus can do without the public attention.
"I think that he's a little embarrassed about it," Brownlee said.
At the same time, Zimmerman has wrapped up participation in a film called "Shades of Gray," profiling the lives of four gay and lesbian Kansans. Tim DePaepe, the KU graduate who directed the documentary, said Zimmerman's work in the Simply Equal campaign inspired him to begin filming.
"Ben is one of those people who imbues life for me," DePapee said. "He doesn't stop working. He doesn't know the real meaning of the word retirement."
"He's had a lifelong commitment to civil rights for everyone," said Alice Lieberman, associate professor of social welfare. "He's wired in such a way that injustice drives him up a wall."

And it better have a quick reaction time. Three of the Jayhawks' final five regular season games are on the road, where they have compiled a 4-3 record. Kansas, 17-6 overall, is in fourth place in the Big 21 Conference at 8-3. A loss tonight at Iowa State would not help its chances for a first-round by in the league tournament.
"There's no one team that has (more of) a challenge down the stretch than us, so we have to be ready," said Kansas coach Marian Washington.
The 'Hawks' matchup against the Cyclones is further complicated by their performance in front of big crowds. Iowa State's Hilton Coliseum averages 10,558 fans a game, and Kansas is 0-2 when playing in front of partisan crowds greater than 7,000.
A crowd of 13,445 at United Spirit Arena in Lubbock, Texas, rattled Kansas in a 76-56 blowout against Texas Tech on Jan. 22.
And on Sunday in Lincoln, Neb., Kansas made 17 first-half turnovers, and a crowd of 7.901 helped Nebraska withstand a Jayhawk comeback and secure a 75-52 victory.
but both Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford and Washington were impressed that the Jayhawks were able to erase 12- and 11-point deficits and eventually tie the game in the final minutes.
"What I am encouraged about is that they fought back," Washington said. "They struggled early but they got back in the ball game."

Maybe this time around the Jayhawks won't wake a sleeping giant.
Kansas felt the effects of such an awakening two-and-a-half weeks ago. The 'Hawks were cruising in their Jan. 29 game against Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, jumping out to a nine-point first-fall lead and holding on to a 38-32 lead at halftime.
Then Marens Fizer, the Iowa state forward who leads the Big 12 Conference in scoring, snapped out of his first half funk and set off an exclamation. Fice guard, 15 second-half points, Iowa
State point guard Jamal Tinsley went haywire, and the Cyclones registered a 74-66 come-from-bhind victory. Those visions are enough to make Kansas grimace.
Those Vikings are through "We had two problems in Ames," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "We didn't stop Tinsley's penetration, and we didn't do a good job on Fizer in the second half to say the least."
No. 24 Kansas will have a chance to correct those problems tonight, when it takes on the No. 14 Cyclones in Allen Fieldhouse. Tip-off is 8:05 p.m.
"I think it's a big game," Williams said. "There's no doubt about that. You could throw out a lot of reasons why it's a big game."
Okay, here's one — Iowa State, 21-3 overall, is tied for first place in the Big 12 with a 9-1 record, while the Javahawks, 18-6, are tied for fifth place at 7-3.
A win would help Kansas hang on to its slim hopes for a Big 12 title. Whereas a loss would send the high winds of inevitability blowing into Kansas' face.
"They got us up there (in Ames), and this is a really big game," said Kansas

Intramural staff faces challenge setting matchups
The tale of the tape says it all.
I wign in at a soft 165 pounds, just a smidge more than 6 feet tall. Billy Thomas last was listed at 6-feet-4 and 208 pounds. On second thought, the tale of the tape is just the beginning.
I'm slow, out of shape and, with a good jump, can barely touch the rim. The only time I played for a school team was in junior high.
Thomas looks as though he's spent every day since his last game with Kansas in the weight room. He soars on the rim with ease. He's the Jayhawks' leading all-time three-point shooter and scored 1,152 points in his career.
But on Sunday night at Robinson Center, intramural basketball matched us in the same league on the same court and, unfortunately, on opposing teams.
Conveniently enough, I've forgotten the exact final score, but let's just say it wasn't pretty.
How, my teammates and I asked ourselves, could we have ended up on the same court as Thomas?
There's just too many people involved to make sure that teams are evenly matched.
the god of the underworld.
And when he says everyone, he isn't kidding.
It seems to some that there should be a way to match teams of roughly equal ability. But when you consider the logistics that recreation services deal with when organizing basketball intramurals, blowouts are inevitable.
The important thing is that everyone has a chance to play, although maybe not to win. And even blowouts can be fun and memorable (even if the score is decidedly not).
"That's going to happen no matter how you split up the levels," Krone said.
Last year, recreation services created a Men's B League for less competitive teams that just wanted to play for fun. This yea, the blowouts are still commonplace.
I'll always remember the game where I stared down Billy Thomas — and he poured in basket after basket.
"We want to provide an opportunity for everyone to play," Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services, said about the goal of intramural basketball.
And when he says everyone, he isn't kidding. Krone said that there were about 230 intraural teams taking the court this semester. Teams average eight to 10 players, so on the low side that's roughly 1,840 people. Some people play for more than one team, so let's just settle for a low, ballpark figure of 1,500 people.
Krone said that the biggest challenge recreation services faced was organizing 230 schedules.
That's a lot of people, and they come to play for lots of different reasons. Some are highly competitive; some just play for fun; some represent their fraternities, sororities or residence halls; and some come just to entertain — not always to the delight of recreation services, as the Phi Psi B-1 All-Stars learned last week.
Competition is broken down into Men's, Women's and Co-Rec divisions. Within the Men's and Women's divisions there are open, residence hall and Greek leagues.

Kansas crushes Rockhurst in 20-6 win
By Amanda Kaschube
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
What a difference a year makes. The last time the Kansas baseball team faced Rockhurst, the Jayhawks needed a clutch home run and extra innings in a 5-4 win. But yesterday, the Jayhawks, hot off their three-game winning streak, struck hard and fast. After scoring eight runs in the third inning, Kansas cruised in a 20-6 whipping of Rockhurst.
For the first time in coach Bobby Randall's career at Kansas, the Jayhawks are 4-0 — something he is very proud of.
"Four games in a row means something," he said. "We have confidence in our game, and we're playing hard. It was like a glorified practice."
Kansas jumped out to an early lead in the first inning off a single from designated hitter Brandon Smith that scored Doug Dreher. Later in the inning, Jesse Gremminger scored off a wild pitch from third. Kansas led 2-0.
Senior Brett Kappelmann ripped a triple to left field, which drove in sophomore Ryan Klocksien, Smith and senior Shane Wedd. After three more Jayhawks crossed the plate, Gremminger hit a two-run home run and scored Dreher. Kansas was up 11-0.
The Jayhawks scored another run in the second, but the team pulled away from Rockhurst in an eight-run third inning.
ourth. The last time a Jayhawk pitcher gave up consecutive home runs was on May 8, 1999, at Oral Roberts.
"I went at it with a lot of fast balls," Schmidt said. "After the eight-run inning, my balls came up, and they got a couple good swings. I threw some fairly good pitches."
Starting pitcher senior Ryan Schmidt pitched three scoreless innings before he gave up two back-to-back home runs in the
Schmidt exited the game after the fourth inning and opened the door to five more Jayhawk pitchers, each of whom threw at least one inning. Each pitcher, except freshman Kevin Wheeler, gave up one run.
"We didn't have our top pitchers," Randall said. "Ryan threw well, but after that, I was disappointed. Wheeler and (Grant) Williams did a good job — we got a lot of guys in the game, but we need guys down in
the order to pitch better."
Kansas scored nine more runs in the victory, including two three-run innings in the seventh and eighth.
Dreher, the Big 12 player of the week, went two for the three in the effort. He also provided much of the Jayhawk offense in their last series against UT-San Antonio — he now has 10 hits in the last four games.
"It's great to start out this way," he said. "I'm a year older in my hiting, and I've been practicing well all season. It really helps out my confidence."
Kansas will have tomorrow and Thursday off to prepare for its three-game series with Southwest Missouri State this weekend. Randall said the Jayhawk offense and defense finally was back on track.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 16). Work on a household project pays well this year. Rough out your plans in February. Find ways to get the money in March. You'll be anxious to get going in April, but don't break anything. In May, the more the merrier will get the work done. Put on the final touches in July and have your dedication ceremony in August. A foreign friend will provide a festive flair in December. Old love's a real comfort in January.
Aries; Today is a 6
Your nerves could be a bit on edge. Instead of worrying about it, use it to your advantage. Your antennae are more sensitive than usual. You could pick up a vibe or an unnudo that will clue you in to potential danger. Listen.
Taurus: Today is an 8
You're learning quickly and with enthusiasm. If you get out, you also may meet some interesting new friends. Get involved with people who can inspire you to unleash your own creativity. Don't just sit there — go do something!
Gemini: Today is a 6
More education could lead to an increase in you income. That's a theme you'll hear again and again. That's because for you, it's always true. And now, it even more true than ever before. Don't get stuck in a dead-end job. Take a class. Read a book
Cancer: Today is a 7
A few things need to be cleaned up around your place. You still need to buy things at the store, too. The sooner you get all those little things out of the way, the sooner you can get creative again.
People will have a tendency to be wimpy today. Take care. A person you yell at, all in good fun, could take offense. You could find yourself on the ugly side of harassment litigation if you're not careful. Be nice, as if it really mattered, which it does.
Leo: Today is a 5
Virao: Today is an 8

You are expected to act a certain way. There's no point in arguing; the other person outranks you This is not going to be easy, but it could be quite lucrative. In other words, look sharp. You can relax later.
You should think about partnerships, legal matters and money. If you're having any problems with finances, loans, investments or taxes, get expert help. You may know a lot, but you can't be expected to know everything.
+ +
You are cautious about allocating your resources. You may not have thought of yourself as a penny-pincher, but that's what seems to be happening now. You would like to splurge on educational mate rids, and that's OK. Do without food; buy books.
Aquarius: Today is a 5
The sun's in your sign, and the moon's in Cancer. This means you're strong, but you also must be gentle. If you're so smart, you should be able to figure out what's going on. You'll never get there by talking or explaining. Listen, instead.
LION
The phase is about to change in your favor. Better get ready. Clear the cobwebs out of your workbench and dust off your hopes and dreams. You don't have to worry; your fears are only in your mind. As you exercise your creativity, they'll dissolve.

KANSAS BASEBALL
Former Kansas baseball coach Dave Bingham was selected yesterday as coach of the 2000 USA Baseball Junior National Team. The team will compete May 5-14 at Hermosillo, Mexico, in the COPABE Junior Pan American Championships.
Former Jayhawk coach to coach national team
Bingham, an assistant coach on the 1988 gold-medal winning USA Olympic Team, owns and operates a baseball academy in Lawrence.
"Coach Bingham will bring a baseball attitude to this team that we very much want to have," said Eric Campbell, USA Baseball Associate Director of National Teams. "His coaching skills and professionalism for the game will rub on these young players in a way that USA Baseball hopes for. I have no doubt that he will lead this team to an outstanding record in Mexico."
Bingham coached the Jayhawks from 1987-1995, and led them to an appearance in the 1993 College World Series and earned Big Eight Coach of the Year honors. He has been an assistant with the USA National Team twice — first with the silver-medal winning 1984 Team and second with the gold-medal winning 1988 Team.
The USA Baseball Junior National Pan Am Team will be comprised of 20 of the top high school aged players in America. The team must finish in fifth place or higher at the Pan American Championships in order to qualify for the IBA World Junior Championships in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, later this summer. Team USA is the defending Junior World Champion.

DETROIT — Retired Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders must pay back $1.83 million of his $11 million signing bonus, an arbitrator ruled yesterday.
The Lions wanted Sanders to return $5.5 million of the bonus he got in 1997. He played two years of a six-year contract but abruptly walked away from the game last July 28.
But arbitrator Sam Kagel ruled that Sanders has defaulted on only one year so far — the 1999 season — making him liable for one-sixth

Women's crew team dominates 4 X 500 for fourth straight year
By Shawn Linenberger

Kansas sportswriter
The Kansas Open Indoor Rowing Championships were full of repetition Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.
Rowers would hop on ergometers, or rowing machines, and row until they reached the 2,000 meter plateau.
One could hear the faint buzz in the fieldhouse that the ergometers made as rowers glided back and forth. As rowers entered the last 500 meters of their races, the crowd noise increased immensely, only to quiet for the start of the next race.
The sound roller coaster ended when the 4 X 500 meter relay began.
"There were 20 teams out there, which is 80 rowers competing at the same time." coach Rob Catloth said. "It was the last event of the day. Everyone in the whole place was going crazy about who was going to
Rowing
win the relay. Every school that was there had teams out there, and there wasn't anyone there that wasn't going crazy over their team."
After the first rower rows 500 meters, she rolls off the ergometer and the next rower gets seated and secures her feet in the foot straps. The other two team members keep the handle of the machine in motion, which allows the team to continue gaining distance during the transition period between rowers.
"It's all about strategy," Petty said about keeping the handle going during the transition period.
Before Saturday, seniors Tara Lynn and Risa Petty had competed on Kansas" "A" team the last three years. And each year, they won the women's collegiate relay title. This year was no different. Lynn and Petty,

along with fellow senior Dana Parsons and junior Heather Muir, dominated the event with a time of 6:25. Kansas State's "A" team came in second, 15 seconds behind the Jayhawks.
"It would have been somewhat embarrassing if we didn't win." Petty said.
Lynn, who had been sick all week, said she was going to race regardless of how she felt.
"It was all about pride," Lynn said. "Now we have to pass it down to Heather Muir."
next year, Muir will be in the same boat Lynn and Petty were in this year. She has competed in the relay in all of her first three years.

Lewis released on bond
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Surrounded by deputies, a smiling Ray Lewis left jail on $1 million bond yesterday, slipped silently into a car and rode away with his lawyers, mother and fiancee.
Lewis, a Baltimore Ravens linebacker, is free for the first time since Jan. 31, when he was charged with murdering two men after a Super Bowl party earlier that day.
Lewis, wearing a brown football jersey with the word "Supreme" on the back, said nothing as he got into the front seat of a car. His lawyer, Ed Garland, said that Lewis was sympathetic for the families of the two men who were killed and that his client looked forward to clearing his name.
"The next step is to get him acquitted," he said. "I never expect him to set foot in a jail again."

The release on bond was step one for Lewis, Garland said.
About 90 minutes before Lewis left the jail, an other defendant, Reginald Oakley, arrived with his lawyer to surrender. A third suspect, Joseph h

nightclub.
After hearing from Lewis' family, Baltimore safety Rod Woodson, Tampa Bay defensive end Warren Sapp, Ravens owner Art Modell and other witnesses, Superior Court Judge Doris Downs ruled Monday that Lewis posed no significant risk to flee or to intimidate witnesses in the case.
The bond requires Lewis to stay in Maryland unless he is traveling to Georgia for court appearances or to meet with his lawyers. It doesn't permit him to visit Florida, where his fiancee and two of his children live.
Death penalty sought for Carruth
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Prosecutors made it official yesterday — they want the death penalty for Rae Carruth.
With Carruth and his mother in court, the prosecution said special circumstances warranted the death penalty for Carruth, a former Carolina Panthers player. Assistant District Attorney Gentry Caudill,
Carruth did not speak during the brief hearing.
however, would not say what those circumstances were.
His lawyer, David Rudolf, said Carruth was doing well, given the situation.
“He has faith, and he knows he's innocent,” he said, joined by Carruth's mother. “And he has faith that the system will work.”
Carruth and three co-defendants
are charged with first-degree murder in the drive-by shooting of Carruth's girlfriend in November.
Cherica Adams, 24, was shot four times in her car while driving on Nov. 16. Soon afterward, she gave birth to son Chancellor, who was 10 weeks premature. Adams died Dec. 14.
A similar hearing was held yesterday for two of the other three defendants. The death penalty also will be sought against them.

Cyclones use three-guard attack
Continued from page 1B
guard Kirk Hinrich. "This can help our confidence and help us in terms of the standings in the conference."
The Cyclones will be the first team to come into the fieldhouse with a higher ranking than the Jayhawks since 1993. That year Kansas was ranked ninth when it knocked off No. 6 California and its sophomore point guard, Jason Kidd.
The Cyclones don't have any guards in the Kidd mold, but its three-guard offense can cause fits. In their last game against Kansas, Tinsley, Michael Nurse and Kantrail Horton combined for 39 points, 17 rebounds, eight assists and plenty of Jayhawk casualties.
Tinsley, in particular, did major damage by splitting up the gut of Kansas' defense with his penetration skills.
"We've seen what he can do." Hinrich said. "I think if we play defense the way we can we'll be all right."
in the Jahwahys' last outing, they jarred the Kansas State Wildcats in Bramlage Coliseum. 94-45. Because of a foot injury to forward Nick Bradford, the Jahwahys used a three-guard lineup with Hinrich, Jeff Boschee and Kenny Gregory, along with forwards Nick Collison and Drew Gooden.
Bradford is expected to play tonight against the Cyclones, but Williams said that Kansas' starting lineup still was undecided.
"I'm thinking about going back with Nick," Williams said. "But I liked some of the things we were doing Saturday and I'm not 100 percent sure that Nick's foot is completely all right." Kansas notes
Hinrich practiced on Monday with his fingers taped and said that he felt fine.
runchish said he would wear tape on his fingers tonight, too.
■ Hinrich, who suffered a badly sprained finger in the second half of Saturday's win against K-State, said that he would be ready to play tonight.
Continued from page 1B
“[Monday] in practice was probably the best I had shot in a long time,” Hinrich said. “I'll try to [tape my fingers] more often now.”
Kansas to challenge 26-game streak
stay near the top of the conference.
by senior guard Suzi Raymant's three three-pointers and 20 points, she said Kansas had to put its disappointment at Nebraska in the rear-view mirror and focus on the Cyclones.
And for good reason.
No. 10 Iowa State, 18-4 overall and 9-2 in the Big 12, has one of the most powerful offenses in the conference. The Cyclones are led by the two best three-point shooters in the league, senior guard Stacy Frese and sophomore guard Tracy Gahan.
Though Iowa state is coming off a 69-63 loss to Kansas State Sunday, the Cyclones hold a 26-game home winning streak and need a win to
"There is kind of a sense of deseration," Gahan said. "We really feel like the title is at stake, and we need to win to keep pace with Oklahoma."
In the teams' last meeting, Kansas came away with a 58-49 victory, holding Iowa State to 30 percent shooting and 26 percent from behind the three-point stripe.
This time, the Cyclones have a different game plan.
"The big thing for us against Kansas is that we have to handle their press better," said Iowa State coach Bill Fennelle. "We only shot 30 percent from the field, and we had 22 turnovers. We have to be smarter with the ball and take better shots. We have to make sure
that every time we have the ball, we give ourselves the opportunity to get good shots."
But if that happens and Kansas finds itself in a whirlwind, Washington thinks that her team's character will make the difference.
Although at home, the Jayhawks erased a 10-point halftime deficit and beat then No. 14 Arizona 71-68 on Dec. 21. Kansas might need a similar effort tonight against Iowa State.
"I think that this team is much tougher than a year ago," Washington said.

B-1 All-Stars make return with team's trademark antics
By Ryan Malashock sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
The circus is back in town.
The Cursus is back in town.
Phi Kappa Psl fraternity's B-1
All-Stars, back from a half-game
suspension, put on quite a show
last night at Robinson Center in
the team's 101-32 intertermual
basketball loss to Phi Delta
Theta fraternity's A-1 team.
The team was suspended Feb. 8 as a penalty for not taking the game seriously, a Recreation Services official said. The All-Stars were reinstated last weekend, allowing the team members to get back to the fun-loving brand of basketball that they are used to.
Team Captain Erik Lund was enthusiastic after the game, saying his team had given a hard-fought effort.
"You got to credit Phil Delti; They're a great team," said Lund, an Overland Park senior. "But we went out and had our fun."
A capacity crowd of about 150 students packed the track above the court and were treated to some interesting pregame festivities.
The B-1 All-Stars came onto the court looking better prepared for disco fever than a basketball game, decked in wigs and polyester warm-up suits.
Introductions for both teams were made over a speaker, and
that was only the beginning of the three-ring act.
Dede Preno, Overland Park junior, said he was the team's general manager, CEO, and director of public relations. He clarified what the B-1 All-Stars stood for as he watched Phi Delt sprint out to a 12-0 lead in the game's first 2 minutes.
"We just want everyone to know that our fans come first," Preno said. "We're playing for our fans. At no time does our team expect to win."
That was evident in the game's first seven minutes, as the B-1 All-Stars were pressed to even put a point on the scoreboard.
Shawnee senior Clay Morris' flying, one-handed, three-point bank shot at the 11:35 mark of the first half placed the B-1 All-Stars on the board, stopping a 25-0 Phi Delt run.
"We really thought Clay's three pointer was a jump start," Lund said. "That shot boosted our confidence and got us right back in the game."
The B-1 All-Stars confused Phi Delt with an array of tricks, including the flying V, the 5-on-1 defense and football-like plays. Despite the lopsided score, Phi Delt continued to press and score at will. By halftime, the score was 50-11, and a Phi Delt layup at the game's final buzzer gave them more than 100 points.
"We're playing for our fans. At no time does our team expect to win."
Afterward, both team's cap tains were in pleasant moods.
Dede Preno
B-1 All-Stars manager
Phi Delt captain Tim Alexander, Wichita freshman, was all smiles when talking about the game.
Lund said the team had a great time and was looking forward to the playoffs, adding that their possibilities were endless.
we'd seen them play the past two weeks and actually watched them probably a little too much during some of our games," he said. "But we had fun with them tonight. It was all in good spirits, and we played around with them a little bit, too."
"March Madness hits and things get a little crazy," he said. "Maybe the B-1 All-Stars can pull out a victory."

Hacker's plot unsuccessful KU systems not harmed
By John Audlehelm
writer@kansan.com
Konpson staff writer
A hacker tried to use a University of Kansas computer to break into other systems and, as far as University officials can tell, was unsuccessful.
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said somebody hacked into a personal computer in Printing Services on the West Campus in late January.
He said the hacker accessed the KU computer then tried to look for vulnerable parts in other computers.
"Our data said they were not successful," Cohen said. "They did not get farther than that."

not come from a KU student. The computer that was hacked was used mostly by University employees. Cohen said.
This sort of thing is common in the computing world, but this was the first time such an attack had happened at KU, she said.
The computer operates on a Unix system and is more open and vulnerable than other computer systems, Warner said. The loophole has since been closed.
Cohen said he did not know where the hacker was trying to go, but security workers at the computer center were trying to trace where the attack came from.
Employees caught the problem when they noticed Printing Services' computer system was running slower than normal—the hacker's activity generated a lot of traffic and slowed down the system.
Warner said they did not have any leads.
Cathy Smith, assistant vice chancellor for academic computing, was not available for comment.
Cohen said Smith had said that hacking into vulnerable systems was considered a rite of passage by some people.
"Usually they're fairly inept," he said.
Top law enforcement officials have few leads on hackers who broke into prominent Web sites.

Breast cancer hits home
Students share tales of loved ones' battles
By Warisa Chulindra
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Breast cancer is more commonly found in older women, so students often find it difficult to relate to the disease. But for three KU students and a KU alumna, seeing family members battle breast cancer has made them realize the effects of the disease.
Although they have different stories, they agreed on one thing — women batting cancer were the strongest people they knew and put the needs of others in front of their own.
"I started crying." Mackler said. "I didn't know what to do."
She went to Watkins Memorial Health Center to get it examined. She said the doctor stuck a needle into it to see if it was a cyst.
Three years ago, Heather Mackler was a 22-year-old senior with no health insurance when she discovered a lump in her breast.
Getting involved in the cause
It wasn't.
A month before she had been dropped from her parents' insurance policy.
The lump turned out to be benign, and Mackler had surgery to have it removed. The doctor found another lump, which was also removed.
But she scare wasn't finished yet. When she went home to Northbrook, III., for the holidays, she learned that her stepmother, Susan, had been diagnosed with breast cancer, she said.
Her stepmother had been a part of her life since she was 3 years old, and Mackler said she was like a second mother.
Organizing the Breast Cancer Fund Raiser 2000 at the University of Kansas has empowered her. "When my step mom told me she had breast cancer, I felt like there was nothing I could do," she said. "Doing something I like, if I reached one person, it was worth it. It's made me not feel helpless."
her stepmother went into remission in October and is doing well, Mackler said.
"She woke up one morning and her breast was all hard," she said. "I wouldn't even talk to her at first. I was overwhelmed."
She also said donating the money to

City police start strict enforcement of drinking
By Mindie Miller
By Mindie Miller
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Underage drinkers beware.
Lawrence police have stepped up their monitoring in the past several weeks to catch underage drinkers in the act — and police reports show their efforts have been successful.
In the early hours of Feb. 3, police issued 12 underage drinkers with notices to appear in municipal court. Five of those people were KU students between the ages of 18 and 20.
Sgt. George Wheeler said officers found the students consuming alcoholic beverages at the Wheel Bar, 507 W. 14th St., during a routine bar check.
"We typically put out a bar car," he said.
"That's one car that is assigned to an eight-hour shift to do just that activity, just like a radar car is assigned to write radar tickets."
statistics compiled and published by the Lawrence Municipal Court show that citations issued to minors in possession more than doubled between 1988 and 1999.
"It's probably a combination of more bar checks and more private party checks," Wheeler said.
He said a sharp increase in the number of MIP citations — like the one that occurred last year — could be caused by something as simple as police sending out one extra bar car per week.
"That would be one car, 52 weeks a year," Wheeler said. "And that officer could easily make half a dozen arrests a shift."
But Wheeler said police had not made a concerted move toward tougher drinking law enforcement.
"We send cars out when we have personnel available to do it," he said.
Lesley Griffitts, 19-year-old St. Charles, Ill., freshman, said she and her friends had noticed a stronger police presence at local bars. Three of the four people who live in her house have been hit with MIPs in the last two weeks.
She said the expense associated with the MIP she received while drinking at the Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St., probably would influence her behavior in the future.
"I'm a little hesitant to go into any bars right now because so many people are getting in trouble, and I really can't afford to get into trouble like this," she said. "I'll probably hold off until after spring break." The manager of the Yacht Club could not hold for comment.
The manager of the Yacht Club could not be reached for comment.
City Prosecutor Tom Porter said a MIP could mean a fine between $ 300 and $ 500, an alcohol evaluation, possible jail time up to 30 days and possible community service up to 40 hours.
The Alcoholic Beverage Control, a division of the Department of Revenue that regulates the sale of alcoholic beverages, sends agents undercover into bars to find underage drinkers.
Scott Holeman, communications director for the revenue department, said he could not say whether ABC had an impact on the number of MIPS in Lawrence.
"We have one agent based in Lawrence," he said. "Depending on operations statewide, there could be more or less officers in town at any given time."

Proposal seeks to expand minority scholarship funds to tech schools

scholarships — or without them.
Yet discussion of this equation was missing during a Senate Appropriations Committee meeting Tuesday, when legislators considered revamping the Kansas Ethnic Minority Scholarship to include more institutions but not more money.
A proposal before the Legislature would expand the program beyond the state universities and colleges to include the state's 11 technical schools.
More scholars without more scholarship money equals scholars with smaller scholarships — or without scholarships.
"The purpose is to encourage more minority students to stay in Kansas," said Marvin Burris, Board of Regents director of fiscal affairs. "There's a need
But the ethnic minority scholarship program is already underfunded and the Regents haven't asked for any extra money, Burris said.
to enhance diversity."
According to the Regents' annual report for the 1998-99 scholastic year, 565 students were eligible for an Ethnic Minority Scholarship, but only 267 students received any money.
Since the scholarship beg 1995, the average amount of the award has decreased despite state tuition increases. In the 1995-1996 school

year, 212 students received an average award of $1,437. In the 1998-1999 school year, 267 students received an average of $1,382. KU representatives said the University did not keep track of how many of those were here.

Money for the program has not been appropriated yet this session, leaving the possibility for more scholarship dollars open.
Legislature
But the only question that surfaced during the Senate
During the Senate Appropriations hearing on the bill came from Chairman Dave Kerr. R-Hutchinson.
He asked if the state's burden would change with the proposal, and the Rezents replied not at this time.
"People are going to get less," Burris said. "But the amount will be determined based on a student's need."
ETHNIC MINORITY MONEY
The purpose of the Ethnic Minority Scholarship is to encourage more minority students to stay in Kansas.
During a committee meeting Tuesday, legislators considered expanding the eligibility of the scholarship to students who attend technical schools, but not adding any more money to the scholarship fund.
Sen. Barbara Lawrence, R-Wichita and chairwoman of the Educational Planning Committee where the bill originated, said
a second change to the scholarship included in the proposal would figure in a student's educational expense and award up to 75 percent of that expense. The scholarship now limits the award amount to $1,500.
she didn't know if more students would apply or if more students would receive less money.
Some of the reasoning behind expanding the scholarship to technical schools is connected to the restructuring of the higher education system, Lawrence said.
Before last summer, the Regents did not govern community colleges and technical schools. Now that they do, the Regents are backing expanding the scholarship, Lawrence said.
Lawrence said making the money available to all higher education institutions was more important than the amount each person received.
"I think the funding is always a concern," Lawrence said. "We're just trying to do as much as we can with the money available."

Greek students to attend leadership conference
Twenty-eight Interfraternity and Panhellenic students will travel to Chicago today to participate in a weekend-long leadership conference with Greek students from across the Midwest
The Mid-America Greek Council Association Conference is an annual event that brings greek students from across the Midwest to share ideas and programs, said Bill Nelson, director of greek programs.
All 16 appointed officers and 12 presidents will attend.
"The goal is to learn as much as we can from the advisers and leaders," said Chace Ramey, FC president and Kansas City, Mo., junior. "But it's also to see what works and what doesn't from other students."
Nelson said the four-day conference, which is held at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare, will be comprised of nearly 2,000 Greek students.

Alumni make donation to KU worth millions
Two alumni who graduated 75 years ago remembered the University of Kansas by leaving $2.1 million to the schools of education and engineering, the KU Endowment Association announced Tuesday. The gift is the largest ever to the School of Education.
William B. Anderson earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1924, and his wife, Ruth M. Anderson, earned a bachelor's degree in education in 1925.
William Anderson died in 1964, and Ruth Anderson died in 1998. Ruth Anderson left $840,000 to the School of Engineering to endow the William B. Anderson Memorial Scholarship Fund and $840,000 to endow the Ruth M. Anderson Memorial Scholarship Fund.
In a separate bequest, William Anderson left $280,000 to the School of Engineering and $140,000 to the School of Education. These funds are unrestricted gifts that may be used to support the schools' academic programs, said John Scarife, director of communication for the endowment association.
After their marriage in 1927, the Andersons moved to Pittsburgh where William Anderson worked for Westinghouse Electric Corp. He held

Health status improves for former KU student
A former KU student's condition has been upgraded from critical to serious after he fell four stories last weekend at a campus construction site.
Andrew Witkowski, 21, of Lawrence, fell shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday from scaffolding at the future Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall, near 1.311 3 Louisiana St
A representative from the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City, where Witikowski was admitted Saturday, said his condition was upgraded yesterday.
According to the KU Public Safety Office, Witkowski and a friend, Matt Dunbar, Overland Park senior, crossed a barricade fence and scaffolding to look around at the site, which belongs to B.A. Green Inc., a Lawrence construction company. Paramedics estimated Witkowski fell 40 feet from the fifth floor of the partial structure. He suffered multiple broken ribs, a broken pelvis and possible internal bleeding.
Charges of criminal trespassing and criminal damage to property could be pending.
According to the police report, an estimated $250 worth of damage was sustained by an air-conditioning vent and sheet rock at the site during Witkowski's fall. Information about the accident has been forwarded to the city prosecutor's office.

were not in danger.
BUCHANAN, N.Y. — A small amount of radioactive steam leaked from a Hudson River nuclear plant just north of New York City, promoting the first alert in the plant's 26-year history, but officials said yesterday that workers and residents
Soon after the leak was detected Tuesday night, plant officials declared an alert — the second lowest of four emergency classifications for nuclear plants — but no evacuations were ordered and none was expected, police said.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said yesterday that plant operators have stabilized the plant and are in control of all systems after manually shutting down the reactor. It said the operators successfully isolated the generator where the leak occurred.
"Radiological monitoring by the company at this point indicates there have been no measurable releases of radioactivity from the plant," the NRC said in a statement issued from the agency's headquarters in Rockville, Md.
Prospect of accord dims in Northern Ireland
WORLD
The British and Irish governments, seeking to extricate Northern Ireland's peace process from a deepening crisis, failed yesterday to narrow the divisions between key parties in the province's suspended Protestant-Catholic administration.
As they departed British Prime Minister Tony Blair's London residence, the rival leaders of the Ulster Unionist Party and Sinn Féin traded angry accusations about Britain's decision last week to strip authority from the Belfast power-sharing Cabinet.
"We've come such a long way, I simply cannot believe that we are going to let this chance slip away," Blair said.
Northern Ireland's four-party coalition took shape just two months ago in fulfillment of the 2-year-old Good Friday peace accord. After Wednesday's deadlocked talks, it looked unlikely to return to power soon.
Sinn Fein, which is linked to the Irish Republican Army, emphasized the IRA would make no disarmament commitments, as the governments demand, until Sinn Fein regained its two posts within the 12-member Cabinet.
The Good Friday accord anticipated the IRA's total disarmament, along with that of pro-British paramilitary groups, by May.
The IRA, which is 31 months into a cease-fire, never has promised it would gradually scrap its stockpiled weapons in cooperation with the province's independent disarmament commission.
And the IRA retaliated Tuesday for Britain's resumption of direct rule by breaking off talks with the commission and withdrawing a vague proposal hinting at the outlawed group's eventual disarmament.

WARRENBURG, Mo. — Della Davis had this image of the Wood family — a playful bunch whose home-schooled children were often seen riding their bikes down the dirt roads and hills near their underground home.
"You couldn't come across sweeter people," said Davis, the family's nearest neighbor.
But on Monday, gunshots shattered the morning calm and killed Tina Wood, 31, and four of her children. Two other children, girls aged 1 and 3, were wounded and in fair and critical condition, respectively. Both were expected to survive.
Yesterday, Raymond E. Wood,
36. was arraigned on 14 charges
in the shootings of his wife and children, including first-degree murder, which could bring the death penalty. Bail was set at $2 million.
"My wife is innocent." Wood said as he was led out of the Johnson County Courthouse. "My children are innocent and beautiful."
Sheriff's Maj. Randy L. Vick said in an affidavit that Wood told officers he had shot his family.
Dispatcher Patricia Leighter said the sheriff's office got a 911 call Monday about a disturbance at the family's home built into the side of a hill in Warrensburg, about 50 miles southeast of Kansas City, Mo.
"It was horrible." Leighter said. "There were kids found in
the house, in the yard, one at the edge of the woods. They were shot with some kind of rifle."
Vick said that when he arrived he found Wood standing in his driveway with his parents, who live nearby.
The dead children were identified as Jared, 10, Joshua, 8, Emily, 7, and Hannah, 5.
The shootings occurred in a rural, heavily wooded area off a dirt road. Sheriff's cars guarded the driveway leading into the property Monday as chickens and geese roamed across the yard.
Neighbors said the family lived in an earth contact home; a partially underground shelter about a quarter-mile off the road. The energy-saving homes are common in the area.

TOPEKA Board of Regents universities are giving some of their money away, and students will benefit.
The Board of Regents announced yesterday that the Kansas House Appropriations and Education subcommittees recommended removing $1 million from Regents universities' base budgets to be split between student financial aid and student employee salaries. Mike Matson, director of external relations for the Board of Regents, said that two-thirds of the $1 million will go toward financial aid, with $500,000 of that earmarked to a comprehensive grant program and $166,000 applied to professional scholarships.
The other third of the $1 million is designated for student salaries.
He told the Regents the four directions he desires the University to head toward during the 21st century
Board Regents
First, he wants the University to act as one university and include all campuses in decisions. Second, he expected the University to be the research university for the greater-Kansas City area. Third, Hemenway said he wants to serve the state of Kansas in areas of health. And, finally, he wished to build premiere learning communities at the University.
In other news:
The House Appropriations subcommittee recommended that students at individual campuses should have the option to pay the $1 library fee because the state will not match it. Gov. Graves proposed matching the fee in his initial budget plans, but the fee didn't make it to the final budget.
The KU Medical Center received $1 million from the Children's Initiative Fund.
Same-sex couples also face issue of domestic violence
By Kimberly Thompson writer@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
A panel will discuss violence between same-sex couples at 7 tonight at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union.
The discussion will be part of a Queers and Allies meeting and is sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
"The queer community is often ignored when it comes to relationship violence," said Laura Montgomery, Leavenworth second-year law student and coordinator for sexual assault prevention and education programs for the center. "It's a concern of mine to address the issue that it does happen."
Montgomery worked together with Matthew Skinta, president of Queers and Allies, to put together the panel. Although the center has presented
speeches for the entire University before, Montgomery said she thought the program would be better received at the Queers and Allies meeting because members would have an interest in the issue.
Addressing violence in intimate relationships is an important concern. Montgomery said.
The panel will comprise Charlene Muehlenhard, professor of women's studies and psychology, Randy Timm, assistant director of student housing, Amy Wolf, representative from the Rape Victim Survivor Service, and a representative from the Women's Transitional Care Services.
Montgomery said the discussion was designed to let people know it was OK to talk about violence between same-sex couples.
"We are very open and understanding to people facing those situations," Montgomery said.
Muehlenhard said some evidence suggested that domestic violence occurred in same-sex relationships at about the same rate as in heterosexual relationships.
"It's important to heighten awareness and to let people know what they can do if it's happening," she said.
Montgomery said that the center's doors always were open to everyone and that the center would work with people to help them leave abusive relationships or deal with the effects of a relationship that had ended.
Montgomery emphasized that the panel was not just for the gay community.
"It's really important for straight people to go," she said.
She said it was time for people to discuss this issue.
"This is way overdue," Montgomery said. "It's time for us to raise some awareness."

Members of the Alpha Pi Alpha fraternity meant last night to in the Kansas Union to discuss African American relationships in the new millennium. The roundtable discussion consisted of topics ranging from courtship to hate.
Evolving dating roles focus of discussion
Program explored African-American gender relationships
By Ryan Blethen

Kansan staff writer
Such questions about relationships and the roles men and women play in them were the topics of a discussion last night titled "African-American Relationships in the New Millennium."
The hour-and-a-half program was sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha. Inc. fraternity.
Garner got things started with a question about chivalry.
Six women and four men showed up in the Pine Room at the Kansas Union for the discussion. The group gathered in a circle and opened sealed envelopes with questions written on index cards inside. The questions on the cards focused on various romantic topics like, "Do men think with their penises and women with their hearts?"
Quinny Garner, Olathe senior and president of Alpha Phi Alpha, said the discussion was meant to explore how relationships between African-American males and females has changed since the beginning of the 19th century.
"Where has the act of chivalry gone and would you like to see it make a comeback if it has gone?" Garner asked the group.
The women in the group said they did not expect much from men all the time when it came to chivalry, but they did expect men to have manners and be polite.
Tola Aremu, Kansas City, Mo., junior said she did not anticipate men doing chivalrous things and will do things for herself.
"I don't expect it. I just do it," Aesom said.

a man who made a scene and
drew attention to himself.
Garner asked the group where they saw the African-American male in the new millennium.
"African-American men are starting to see the importance of being a father and a husband," said Shyra McGee, Wichita senior.
Williams agreed.
"I have a more positive image of black men than I did back in the day," she said. "I also think religion has a big part. I see more young men in church now than I did in high school."
"Where has the act of chivalry gone and would you like to see it make a comeback if it has gone?"

The discussion then focused on what the new millennium will hold for African-American women.
Amber Sumler, Wichita junior, said she hoped that in the new millennium, women would start running their own corporations and start running the country.
tackled a number of topics, from lust and love to what men and women want from each other. The group had some disagreement on what the other sex wanted and what rejection does to a person.
From there, the participants
"Rejection is part of elimination." Williams said.
Rejection and finding the right person takes some time, said Michael Bell. Detroit senior.
"It's like a journey," Bell said. "You have to keep pushing until you get there."
The discussion ended with all participants having a chance to say what they thought made for healthy relationships.
McGee offered her own advice to the group.
"Respect yourself and the person you are with," she said.

Representatives from the Red Cross spoke in an open forum at last night's Student Senate meeting in response to a debate last week about the alleged discriminatory practices of the Red Cross Blood Drive.
Last week, finance committee chairman Aravind Muthukrishnan ruled a bill to finance advertising for the blood drive out of order, citing a Senate rule than denies funding toward discriminatory activity. Some alleged the questions asked of donors singled out homosexuals rather than risky behavior.
"I understand the history behind it," said Mark Bradshaw, liberal arts and sciences senator, referring to one question's basis that men who have had sex with men since 1977 are a great risk factor. "But it seems it might be better worded."
Diane Elder, chief operating officer for the Red Cross' Central Plains Blood Services in Wichita, said that particular question was being looked at by the Food and Drug Administration, the organization that determines the questions.
"It doesn't have to do with discrimination." Elder said. "It has to do with identifying the highest risk group. If we just said 'promiscous,' that wouldn't be an identifiable behavior of a high-risk group."
Although the demographics for the HIV virus have changed, Elder said this was still the highest-risk group.
Elder also said public perception played a factor in what questions are asked. She said recipients wanted to be ensured that the blood they would receive would be from a low-risk group,
"It doesn't have to do with discrimination."
Diane Elder
chief operating officer for the Red Cross' Central Plains Blood Services
even though all blood donated is tested for HIV.
"The only thing its going to do by not funding the advertising is going to hurt our blood drive, and your friends and relatives in Kansas." Elder said.
She said Senate would make a better statement by writing a letter to the FDA.
Any further involvement with the bill from Senate will have to wait until the next legislative cycle. To be considered, any legislation must be turned in tomorrow.
In other Senate news:
Senate allocated $3,000 for the comprehensive student survey. The original bill asked for only $2,000, but additional funding was needed for the survey results to be professionally analyzed. After urging from some senators, the bill's sponsor, Ben Walker, legislative director, added a stipulation to the bill that would keep results unreleased until the day after Student Senate elections. It was seen as a conflict of interest by some, because Walker is running for student body president.
Changes were made to rules and regulations regarding elections and referenda. Included was an amendment that will eliminate spending limits. Such limits have already been ruled unconstitutional by the University Judicial Board.

Senate inconsistent in financing religious student organizations
The Intervarsity Christian Fellowship recently was denied funds from Student Senate to finance a presentation about the coexistence of science and religion on grounds that student money should not be used to pay for religious causes.
However, the speech, by chemist Henry Schaefer, probably would be much more academic than religious. Thus, Senate should not have denied the group funds on this basis.
that recently has been controversial in Kansas. The study of religion, as evidenced by the University of Kansas' religious studies department, obviously can be academic.
Senate rules state that it cannot finance anything primarily religious in nature. Schaefer, however, is a scientist who would deliver a scholarly lecture about an issue
Student senators should devise clear standards for determining nature of events
a jewish student organization, but primarily was historical in nature. This is similar to Schaefer's speech, which is sponsored by a Christian student organization, but would be scientific in nature. Although the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, like KU Hillel, may be a religious group, the event would probably be academic not religious.
In addition, there is precedent concerning Senate's financing of a speaker sponsored by a religious student organization. Three years ago, KU Hillel brought a speaker to campus for Holocaust Awareness Week. The speech was sponsored by
There is blatant inconsistency between the two cases.
It appears that Senate needs to implement clearer standards to determine which events qualify as religious in nature. This is the only way Senate will establish uniformity and fairness in doling out funds to student organizations and events.

KU should define sweatshop policy
The impact of purchasing and selling collegiate products manufactured in sweatshops in developing countries recently has come to many universities' attention. Some, including the University of Kansas last spring, have signed non-binding contracts with other universities in an effort to curb the use of these products.
However, 10 months later, the University still has no specific standards for preventing the use of the KU logo on sweatshirts, mugs, hats, etc. that are produced in sweatshops. Recently, the University has decided to elaborate its commitment to fighting sweatshop labor by setting out more detailed standards for entering into licensing agreements with

corporations that might use sweat shop labor. This is a step in the right direction.
The University is working to form a committee to develop these standards and is considering the placement of inspectors in developing countries where sweatshops exist. The University hopes to have manufacturer's standards in place by the end of the year.
taken if the use of sweatshop labor by companies we already have contracts with or by companies in the future is proven? Is it even feasible or practical to establish a committee to research sweatshops overseas?
This is a good plan. But some questions remain.
Also, the standards eventually set by the University must apply to the athletics department too. Many Kansas teams are sponsored by Nike, which has been widely criticized for the manufacture of some of their sports apparel in sweatshops.
For example, what action will be
Despite these questions and concerns, the University's efforts prove that it sincerely is concerned about important issues outside of the Hill, and that it is not wholly influenced by the all-mighty dollar.

enchilada and a 44-ounce Coke with ice.
I never thought my appetite would scream for the comfort foods of home, but it's loud and there's nothing I can do about it. A few weeks in Spain has presented me with a most intriguing phenomenon—nothing tastes the same here.
I tried a cheeseburger in Madrid, tortellini in Toledo and pizza in Seville. Much to my chagrin, the cheeseburger tasted fried instead of grilled, the tortellini's overcooked noodles were drenched in
runny sauce, and even the pizza was sprinkled with Gorgonzola cheese, not mozzarella.
Before you embark on the study abroad experience, everyone warns you about culture shock, adjusting to the language and accommodating the people. After some time living with a talkative couple in their sixties, I say forget all of that and tell students to brace themselves for gastronomic paranoia.
After we came home from class last week, my roommate and I sat in our unheated bedroom making a verbal list of all the foods we missed. The list, according to my friends here, includes Tex-Mex cuisine, peanut butter, warm cherry pie la mode and mashed potatoes.
If my señora (the woman with whom I live) didn't prepared mashed potatoes yesterday for lunch, I might have gone over the edge. She must have known. Still, they weren't my mom's. They were

As much as I miss my to-go American comfort foods, I've delighted in sampling the Mediterranean-influenced cuisine of Southern Spain, where orange trees line the sidewalks and olive groves sprinkle the countryside. I've had some of the biggest and sweetest oranges of my life, thick calamari with hearty flavor, the tartest fresh tomato sauce, rich cheeses and delicious dark chocolate. And I could eat paella, the national dish of Spain, everyday. Made with rice, peppers, eggs, sausage, shell fish, tomatoes and seafood of all kinds, it's a rich compilation of diverse foods and secret spices that sate my appetite and please my palate in a different, very Spanish, way.
Before and during a meal, there's red wine, often straight from Spain's Rioja region, to sip for a price lower than bottled water. Red wine or, vino tinto, costs about $2 per glass in some places. The coffee here is strong and rich with flavor, as it's meant to be, and often accompanied by thick cream and sugar on the side.
Still, until I eat a peanut butter and honey sandwich, chips and salsa and grilled chicken and steamed vegetables and drink a cold Coke with ice, my stomach will continue to growl no matter how full I am.
There are no Starbucks or grocery stores here, just small cafes and independent markets with fresh meat, produce, bread and pastries to buy for everyday meals. Everything comes without preservatives, untainted and delicious.

Students shouldn't miss indigenous activist's talk
Nobel Peace Prize Winner Rigoberto Menchu has come to the United States this week to discuss the case of U.S. political prisoner Leonard Peltier. It is the only reason she is traveling to the U.S., and she hopes to raise support for Peltier both in Washington, D.C., and in the Kansas City area.
Menchu will be on campus tomorrow to speak about Peltier and the plight of indigenous peoples internationally. This opportunity will be an unforgettable one — it isn't often that one has the chance to hear an internationally acclaimed
individual speak about her life and her life's work. In addition, the campus location is easily accessible and the price is just right - free.
Now serving as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Goodwill Ambassador and Promoter of the International Decade of Indigenous Peoples, Menchu won the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her work on behalf of indigenous people's rights. What does Menchu hope to accomplish? Education.

In addition to speaking about the Rigoberta Menchu Tum Foundation, Menchu also will use her own life story to show the plight of indigenous peoples and tell firsthand of the war that has been waged on them.
However, things were changing and people were organizing. Not without tragedy, though. In 1979, Menchu witnessed her 16-year-old brother being dragged from the village to be tortured for 16 days before being burned alive. Then in 1980, during an occupation of the Spanish Embassy in Guatemala City, Menchu's
Menchu was born in 1959 in the village of Chimel near San Miguel de Uspantan, the capital of the northwestern province of El Quiche. She is Quiche, one of 21 groups of the Mayan people, who make up 60 percent of Guatemala's population. At the age of eight, Menchu worked with her mother in coffee plantation fields from 3 a.m. until dusk in conditions similar to slavery. This was the common fate of indigenous children, and it was the only option for their futures.
father, prominent activist Vincente Menchu, was killed. Three months later, her mother was kidnapped and repeatedly raped and tortured before being left to die on a hillside where her body eventually was devoured by predators.
So Menchu's life has become one of defense. As an advocate for her people, Menchu speaks internationally, in hopes of educating the world and force radical changes through public opinion. This week, Menchu brings her life stories and talents to the University of Kansas. She will be joined by Curt Goering, senior deputy executive director of Amnesty International, which is noted as one of the largest human rights organizations in the world. Goering will explain Amnesty's position on the Peltier case, which was established on April 16, 1999. It calls for Peltier's immediate and unconditional release.
Luetke-Stahlman is an Olathe junior in economics and American studies. She worked for the Leonard Peltier campaign from June 1998 to June 1999 as Peltier's national lobbyist in Washington, D.C.
These executions, along with thousands of others, forced Menchu to realize her fate would be the same. Left with no alternative, Menchu fled Guatemala. On Dec. 29, 1996, peace agreements ended Guatemala's 36-year internal war against its indigenous people. The death toll reached 150,000, not including the 50,000 who disappeared. In addition, 250,000 children were orphaned, 100,000 women were widowed and one million people were displaced. Through the tragedies of this war, Guatemala has gained the reputation of having the worst human rights violations in the Western hemisphere.
Menchu's presentation tomorrow is sponsored by the KU Amnesty chapter. It has been a great victory for the Peltier case to gain Amnesty's involvement, both internationally and locally. It is hoped that Menchu's presence in the U.S. this week will be both empowering for Peltier and helpful to his case.
Peltier will be up for parole in May and according to the parole commission's own guidelines, he should have been released eight years ago. Of course, the only thing that can guarantee Peltier's freedom is for the public to demand that its government do the right thing. This menchu's ultimate goal, she will no doubt have some incredible things to say, and I, for one, will be there to hear them.

In a letter in the Feb. 14 edition of the Kansan, Matthew Hastings writes that "Professor Buechner is obviously not wellread" because Buechner contends that the scientific community overwhelmingly supports biological evolution.
Hastings is not, know better than to quote out of context.
Jerry Coyne studies evolutionary genetics with fruit flies. When I spoke to Coyne today, he said he was appalled at Hastings' misrepresentation of his ideas.
Hastings goes on to cite University of Chicago biologist Jerry Coyne and University of Massachusetts geoscientist Lynn Margulis as examples of respected scientists who, he says, reject evolution. Truly well-read individuals, which
Lymn Margulis is best known for her endosymbiotic theory, an explanation of how complicated structures in eukaryotic cells evolved from bacteria. Contrary to Hastings' assertion, neither of these scientists rejects evolution.
I interviewed Lynn Margulis on my talk show on KJHK two years ago. In that interview, she called creationism "nonsense." I
will replay Margulis' interview on "Real Alternative Radio" today at 4 p.m. on KJHK
Additionally, Margulis' eloquent popular writings on evolution can be found in most bookstores. Perhaps Hastings should listen today, or pick up one of Margulis' books, or check out Coyne's Web site at http://pondside.uichicago.edu/ceb/faculty/coyne.html. He would learn something about evolution, and as importantly, he would learn not to argue subjects of which he is ignorant.

organizations like Breast Cancer Inc. and the American Cancer Society, which serve as resources to women who do not have health insurance, was important. She remembers how scared she was when she was in that situation.
The beginning stages
Jeff Olson, Wheaton, Ill., senior, said his mother, Donna, was diagnosed in September with breast cancer in the early stages — a fact that comforts him.
Donna was a head charge nurse at a hospital, a stressful job that she left when she began chemotherapy. She has 10 more treatments, and Olson said he was keeping his fingers crossed that the chemotherapy would work.
Because his mother is undergoing the lowest grade of chemotherapy, she has not lost her hair, Olson said. He said when he was home for the holiday break, the only difference he saw in her was that she took more naps.
"There's nothing you can do but hope," he said. "I never thought it would happen to someone close to me."
Olson said his mother's bout with cancer has brought the family even closer.
"We make more of an effort to show we're family," he said.
Defining strength
Defining Lucas Kosner, Highland Park, Ill., junior, didn't know about the first time his mother, Lynn, got a lump in her breast. He was in sixth grade then. He said that he remembered her having surgery, but that it wasn't until eighth grade that he learned the surgery was to have a lump removed from her breast.
When he was a sophomore in high school, his mother's cancer returned. This time his mother had a mastectomy and breast reconstructive surgery. When she was in the hospital, Kosner and his family would sneak his mother hot dogs and milk shakes from a nearby hot dog stand.
"She didn't like the hospital food," he said, chuckling.
Kosner said he and his mother had always been close, but seeing his mother's battle with breast cancer made him see his mother differently.
"My mom's a survivor," he said. "I never realized how strong or tough she was. She's this itty-bitty thing."
Fond memories of a fighter
When Ashley Luckey, Chesterfield, Mo. senior, graduated from high school, her mother, Cathy, was doing fairly well in her battle with breast cancer. But two weeks before she left for college,
Luckey said that in an odd way, her mother timed her death so she would be able to see her graduate and go off to college, like her older brother, Ryan.
her mother died.
"She said, 'I saw Ryan graduate and saw him go to college. I want to do the same for Ashley,' " Luckey said. "She knew what she wanted to accomplish, and she did."
Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when Luckey was in eighth grade. The lump was removed, but four years later the cancer returned, spreading to her lungs and liver. The cancer eventually attacked her bones and brain.
Cancer runs on her mother's side of the family, but not breast cancer. And her mother didn't smoke and took good care of herself, Luckey said.
Seeing the physical effects of breast cancer on her mother was difficult.
"It's very shocking to see your parents in that state," she said. "But I grew to deal with it and accent it and look past that."
Initially doctors told her family that Cathy would live for 20 more years, but by the end of the month, doctors said she had two weeks.
Luckey spent those two weeks with her mother, which she said gave her a sense of closure.

"We kind of came to an understanding," she said. "We never said 'I love you' a lot in my family, so I got to do that."
“It’s very shocking to see your parents in that state,” she said. “But I grew to deal with it and accept it and look past that.”
Musicians jam for cancer cash
By BriAnne Hess
Kansan staff writer
Mardi Gras will overflow Liberty Hall at 9 tonight to raise money for breast cancer awareness.
Breast Cancer Action is sponsoring the music jam that features sounds from Chubby Carrier & the Bayou Swamp Band, the Suga Daddies and Space Pocket.
"It's gonna be a Mardi Gras theme," said Carrier, lead singer and accordion player of the Zydeco-influenced swamp band. "We're bringing up a bunch of beads, and we'll be throwing them out like hotcakes."
Carrier said he volunteered his performance for several reasons — but primarily because his aunt died of breast cancer.
"I'll do anything to raise money to benefit breast cancer and it's awareness," he said.
Heather Mackler, KU graduate, and Lisa Flory, Lawrence senior, organized the concert.
Flory said the money from the ticket sales will go to the organization, which tries to raise breast cancer awareness, finance mammograms for underprivileged women and contribute to the local branch of the American Cancer Society.
"Heather approached me, and I sounded it thoughtful like a good cause so I jumped on board and everything kind of snowballed." Flory said.
The three bands basically volunteered their time since they are working for such little money, Flory said. They approached others bands about performing, but these three
bands made an extra initiative to join.
The swamp band music is influenced by Zydeco — some of the instruments played are a washboard, conga drums, a trumpet and a voice box
"Their CD doesn't do them justice," Mackler said. "They're a live-music band."
The Suga Daddies' music has a Commodores-style funk with a little touch of Aretha Franklin as well. Space Pocket plays more instrumental. Phish-type music.
In the last hour of the concert, members of all three bands might get on the stage together and jam, Mackler said.
Tickets are $6 in advance and $8 at the door for the 18-year-old and older show.
Police start local bar checks
Continued from page 1A
He said ABC was not doing any more checks than usual, but that there were five agents in Lawrence a few weeks ago — the same time 12 underage drinking citations were issued.
Adam Mansfield, manager at Louise's Bar Downtown. 1009 Massachusetts St., said his bar had never received an MIP from police or the ABC.
"Basically, if you card people and you do a good job, you don't have to worry about it," he said.
ABC is the official licensing agency for most bars in the state. Wheeler said police forwarded reports involving underage drinking in bars to the agency.
Although the report for the Feb. 3 incident at the Wheel has been filed with ABC, Holeman declined comment on the case.
The manager of the Wheel declined comment as well.
In July 1998, ABC established a regulation stating that any drinking establishment that received nine MIP citations in a four-year period would lose its liquor license.
Holeman said he didn't think any Lawrence bars had lost their license as a result of the regulation.
Bars found selling, giving or furnishing alcoholic beverages to a minor or permitting consumption or possession on the premises by a minor face both fines and license suspensions. The severity of those penalties depends on the number of past violations. The maximum fine and penalty before license revocation is $1,000 per underage person and a license suspension of 14 consecutive days.

KU tries for scarce science grant
By Jim O'Malley
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas has entered the competition for a $15 million National Science Foundation grant for a science education center.
According to the NSF's call for proposals, more than 50,000 inadequately prepared teachers enter the teaching profession each year, and many science teachers lack training in science. In an effort to remedy that, the NSF will award two or three grants for centers for teaching and learning to improve the professional development of teachers and the capacity of colleges and universities to educate future generations of science teachers.
The NSF will award two or three $2 million to $3 million grants in fiscal year 2000. The grants could continue for up to five years. Successful applicants must provide 10 percent matching funds.
Joe Heppert, associate professor of chemistry and chairman of the Chancellor's Science Education Task Force, said that the University hoped to capitalize on its strengths in special education by proposing programs aimed at students with special needs.
"It's one of the strongest programs in the country." Heppert said.
He said the University also proposed programs aimed at minorities who were underrepresented in the sciences.
Professional development programs would aim to improve training of new teachers and to develop connections between scientists and educators, he said.
Steve Case is the director of the Kansas Collaborative Research Network, which encourages teaching science by doing science. He said that science education needed systemic reform. Science teachers need more scientific substance in their training, Case said.
Jim Ellis, associate professor of teaching and leadership, used to work for the NSF. He said the NSF reviewed applications intensively and
that there would be a lot of good applications.
that there would be a lot of good applications. Heppert said the grant proposal was a product of the Chancellor's Science Education Task Force, which was formed in response to the State Board of Education's controversial science standards. The controversy may show a need for improved science education in Kansas. Heppert said.
advantage:
Case said he couldn't estimate how the evolution controversy might affect the University's chances.
chances.
"There's a real obvious need, but they may perceive us as idiots who can't handle it," he said.
Ellis said that realistically, the Kansas evolution controversy wouldn't hurt the University's chances at a grant.
"The State Board controversy provides the state with an opportunity to make a case," Heppert said. "But it isn't a real competitive advantage."
“It’s such a long-shot — one in 50,” he said.
“You generally don’t get funded the first time around in this sort of thing, but we’re moving in the right direction.”
Scandal forces German party chairman to resign
The Associated Press
BERLIN — Helmut Kohl's handpicked heir as chief of Germany's Christian Democratic Union fell victim yesterday to the financial scandal that has devastated the party since the former chancellor admitted hiding illegal donations while in office.
Wolfgang Schaeuble, the party chairman and parliamentary faction leader, was forced out by fellow conservatives convinced that only a dramatic break with the old leadership would save the party from self-destructing — especially with two important state elections coming soon.
"The CDU's crisis must not be allowed to become a crisis for democracy," Schaeubel said. "This goal overrides all others."
Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder called Schaeuble's departure a necessary step to keep the opposition party alive.
"It's important to recognize that the parties guarantee the necessary stability of the democratic system in
Germany," said Schroeder, the leader of Germany's other main party, the Social Democrats.
The parliament faction is to select new leaders Tuesday, and a new chairman will be chosen at a con-
While Schaeuble said he wanted to make a new beginning possible for his party, it was unlikely his departure alone would end the scandal concerning illegal donations, secret Swiss bank accounts and shady bookkeeping that stretches through Kohl's quarter-century as party chairman.
Kohl has admitted to illegally keeping up to $1 million off the books from 1993 to 1998, and he has refused to name the donors has fueled speculation about possible kickbacks or bribes. Parliament is investigating and prosecutors still are considering criminal charges.
"The crisis will only be overcome when all the answers are given about the slush funds, suitcases filled with donations and that which Schaeuble himself has called money-laundering," said Social Democratic faction
The Christian Democrats found out Tuesday that the party would have to repay $20.6 million in matching government funds for falsifying its financial reports in 1988 — the biggest fine ever levied against a party in Germany.
It plans to challenge the penalty.
It plans to challenge the penalty.
With state elections looming in two states, younger party leaders — many of whom had chafed for years under Kohl's thumb — were openly revolting against Schaeuble, whom they saw as a symbol of that era.
Schaebule, 57, spent years as Kohl's faithful servant before emerging from his shadow to take control of the party in November 1988 after Kohl's humiliating electoral defeat.
Schaeuble engineered a quick recovery in opposition, scoring a series of victories in state elections last year by attacking Schroeder's unpopular austerity budget and citizenship reforms.
Those successes were overshadowed when the scandal broke late
last year, sending his and the party's poll ratings plummeting.
Schaeuble sought to distance himself from Kohl, even forcing his former mentor to give up his title of honorary party chairman. But Schaeuble's authority had been dwindling since he admitted lying to parliament about his 1994 meeting with a German-Canadian lobbyist. Only later did he reveal that he also accepted $50,000 in cash from Karlheinz Schreiber that was improperly recorded.
Schaeule said after the 1988 defeat that he devoted his energy to restoring the Christian Democrats' role as the great people's party of the middle and hoped his departure would make it easier for the party to reassert itself as the opposition.
"I have become convinced that the Union cannot free itself from the clutch of this crisis without a visible new beginning among the leadership," he said.
Friedrich Merz, 44, the Christian Democrat's budget expert, is considered the front-runner to head the parliamentary faction.
Faculty members given NASA grant for Yellowstone job
By Kondwa Kankondo writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
At the end of next year, two University of Kansas faculty members will have an inventory of every tree and shrub in Yellowstone National Park thanks to funding from NASA.
Mark Jakubauskaus, research assistant professor, and Clayton Blodgett, research associate, are working with NASA to come up with software to help Yellowstone monitor their natural resources.
For example, the project could help officials monitor areas of the national forests that could easily catch fire.
The du already has received $560,000 from NASA to finance their project that they have worked on for two years. The project marks the 34th time the University has received money from NASA.
Robert Collins, manager of the KU Center for Research, said NASA gave the University $2,181,824 for 18 science projects during the 1996 fiscal year and $2,463,380 for 15 projects the following year.
Previously, NASA only gave money to projects on pure sciences, but expanded its scope of activities this year.
"People have been asking what good is NASA to me," Jakubauskas said. "This is probably NASA's way of responding to that. Of the 180 projects that were submitted to NASA, only 13 were approved."
Jakubauska and Blodgett have three years to finish their work. Every summer, the duo travels to Yellowstone for field work.
Bloodgett said they trekked about 75 kilometers a week for

"You crawl up and down and over dead trees," he said. "We have to cope with the contrast in elevation from 1,00 feet in Kansas to Yellowstone's 8,000 feet."
Once finished, Blodgegill said the project will provide a detailed and accurate map of the forest condition and structure for the management of the natural resources in Yellowstone.
Yellowstone is the world's largest temperate ecosystem, which includes Yellowstone and Teton National Parks, six national forests, the Beartooths and Wind River Range. It is home to grizzly bears, moose and bisons.

Republicans fight to primary finish
Polls put McCain Bush in dead heat
The Associated Press
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Pushing toward Saturday's primary, Sen. John McCain won endorsements yesterday from former rival
Gary Bauer and a California official switching from George W. Bush. In the meantime, the Texas governor has laid plans for a fresh round of fund raising after running through $50 million.
1
While McCain crowed about gathering enthusiasm, Bush rebuffed suggestions that he had too little to show for his money, saying he was already campaigning in every state.
McCain: received endorsement from Gary Bauer
Bush was sharply criticized by one of his numerous congressional supporters, Rep. Peter King of New York, who said the governor offended him as a Catholic by speaking at Bob Jones University, controversial for anti-Catholic and racial remarks by past president Bob Jones Jr.
Polls put Bush and McCain in a dead heat just days before the Important Republican primary in South Carolina.
Bauer, who quit the race two weeks ago, announced his support for McCain at a rally at Furman University. He said McCain was the Republican party's best shot at winning the White House.
Bauer, who was an adviser to President Reagan and whose own campaign focused largely on opposing abortion, is an important force in the competition for social conservatives' votes. Bush has sent repeated mailings to social and religious conservatives questioning McCain's commitment to opposing abortion.
"There's been so much doubt raised about my commitment to some of these issues." McCain said about the Bauer endorsement. "He'll dispel that."
Also signing on was California Secretary of State Bill Jones, the highest elected Republican in that state, which votes March 7 as part of the
big round of primaries that could settle the GQP presidential nomination.
Jones, whose own election in 1998 relied on Independents and Democrats, said he switched his endorsement because McCain's message of campaign finance reform would reach beyond Republican stalwarts and help build the party.
Race for President
Aides said Bush was set to report he had about $20 million left from his vaunted $70 million campaign treasury. That's about twice what McCain said he had left in the bank. Bush already has set a new record for primary-season spending.
Bush was reviving up his fund-raising machine after a lull, seeking a refill to compete in looming and expensive big states. McCain has been fund raising heavily since his surprise blowout in New Hampshire.
"We have a plan in place that's going to enable me to stay in this race for the long run." Bush said, noting he was campaigning in more states than McCain.

Bush, whose campaign has grown increasingly aggressive, started a new ad that accuses McCain of unfounded negative attacks and of wailing on public financing of congressional elections, which both candidates say they oppose.
McCain is rolling through inland South Carolina from town meeting to town meeting, beaming confidence and arguing he'll be able to press ahead regardless of what happens Saturday.
Reform leaders push for Perot
The Associated Press
"There's beginning to be an upswell among the grass roos in the party," said National Secretary Jim Mangia who added that he's gotten dozens of e-mails from Perot supporters since the party's raucous committee meeting Saturday in Nashville, Tenn.
WASHINGTON — Days after followers of Ross Perot ousted the Reform Party chairman who was loyal to a Perot rival, party leaders launched an effort yesterday to draft the Texas billionaire into the presidential race for a third run.
If he ran, it would be Perot's third run for president on the third-party ticket after finishing with 19 percent of the vote in 1992 and 8.5 percent in 1996. He would face former Republican Pat Buchanan in a fight for the party's nomination and the $12.6 million in federal matching funds that comes with it.
Such a challenge from the party's founder would not deter Buchanan.
Perot's 1996 running mate, Pate Chato,
until Chato was picked Saturday to succeed
Jack Gargan as chairman. Gargan was allied with Minnesota Gov. Jesse
"Clearly, he would be a formidable challenger for the nomination," said Buchanan, who was publicly backed by
Ventura, who broke from the party last week. Choate immediately resigned as Buchanan's campaign chairman.
A third-party challenge by either man could have a major impact on the presidential race by taking votes from the Democratic and Republican nominees.
C. H. KINGTON
Perot: may run for president if McCain loses Republican bid
Perot's prospects this year were said
by senior party officials to depend heavily on how well Sen. John McCain fared against Texas Gov. George W. Bush in South Carolina's GOP presidential primary on Saturday.
McCain, whose congressional crusade for campaign finance reform draws support from Reform Party members, could drain support from the third party's grass roots and make a Perot bid unappealing.
So popular is McCain among some factions of the Reform Party that there's even been talk of nominating him on the party's ticket—even if he captures the GOP nomination. For his part, McCain has said he would only accept the Reform Party not after winning the Republican nomination. If McCain loses, the equation for the Reform Party changes because Perot sees South Carolina as a major test of McCain's long-term viability, the officials said.
Without McCain in the race, Perot is the man who can carry the real reform message into November, Mangia said.
"The Reform Issues McCain is running on are the issues Ross Perot gave expression to in the 1992 and 1996 campaigns," he said.
The senior officials said Perot could announce his candidacy the way he did in 1966, on CNN's Larry King Live, as soon as next week — depending on how McCain does in South Carolina.
FBI has new leads on elusive hackers
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The nation's top law enforcement officials acknowledged yesterday serious challenges finding the electronic vandals who shut down major Internet sites last week, but they also described fast-developing leads.
They said the hackers involved were sophisticated enough to falsify their digital fingerprints. Attorney General Janet Reno said such a disguise technique made it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to hold the perpetrator criminally accountable.
"I would simply say that we are taking the attacks very seriously and that we will simply do everything in our power to identify those responsible and bring them to justice," Reno told a Senate panel.
in coming days. He said FBI field offices in five cities had opened investigations into the attacks: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Boston and Seattle. More agents in other cities and overseas also are involved.
Reno and Freeh also conceded important shortcomings coordinating the myriad government agencies and public and private experts who helped investigate high-tech crimes.
FBI Director Louis J. Freeh, who also testified, said there were fast-developing leads and more details would be available
"We're not doing so good," admitted Freeh, adding that cooperation was improving.
The FBI also urged Congress to consider expanding use of federal anti-raceteering laws — traditionally used against the mafia and drug cartels — to apply against organized and persistent hackers. It also urged Congress to lower the $5,000 minimum in damages that victim companies must suffer before attackers can be prosecuted under federal computer crime laws.
"I would simply say that we are taking the attacks very seriously."
eBay Inc. disclosed new details yesterday about the electronic assault launched against it Feb. 8, which shut down the world's largest online auction site for 90 minutes. Similar attacks disrupted other major commercial sites, including those of Yahoo! Amazon, Buy.Com, CNN and ETrade.

Breast Cancer Awareness
Did you know...
- This year approximately 43,300 women & 400 men will die from this disease.
- More American women are diagnosed with breast cancer than any other type of cancer,and breast cancer is second only to lung cancer in cancer deaths.
- A woman may be at a higher risk with a family history, long menstrual history, never giving birth (giving birth after age 30), and being older than 40.
What can be done?
At this time a cause is not known, but the best protection is to detect it as early as possible and to treat it promptly.
- Clinical breast examinations (at least every 3 years beginning at age 20 and annually after age 40)
- Monthly breast self-examination beginning by age 20
- Annual screening mammography for women by age 40
And if you notice any symptoms, check with your doctor.

Twenty One lucky for KU grad
U.S. Navy recruiter earns most money in game-show history
By Sara Shepherd
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Kansan staff writer
Knowing the final line of the last episode of Cheers may not be a graduation requirement for a degree in chemical engineering at the University of Kansas.
But the correct answer of "Sorry, we're closed" helped make 1994 KU graduate David Legler a little richer last night.
In three consecutive appearances on the NBC prime-time television game show Twenty One, Legler racked up a total of $1,765,000 to become the winningest contestant ever in television game show history.
"David, you're the new king!" said host Maury Povich in his loudest game-show-host-voice last night. "You have won $1,765,000 — more than anybody in the history of game shows."
Twenty One, hosted by A Current Affair veteran Povich, is a multiple-choice, question-and-answer quiz show where two individuals compete head-to-head as they attempt to answer a series of questions that vary in difficulty and point value.
Players are sequestered in soundproof booths and may only speak when the host instructs them. They are unaware of their rival's score and must play a game of chance and intuition when deciding whether to continue playing.
NBC representative Lisa Burks said
Legler first appeared on the show on Feb. 9. He competed again Monday and last night as the returning champion.
Legler missed his first question on yesterday's show, so he was set up with a contender. After shaking hands with his opponent Shaye Hall Davis, the two challengers proceed into their respective sound-proof booths.
"Let's play Twenty One," Povich said.
Legler replied, "Let's go."
Legler replied. Let's go.
After answering two more questions,
Legler and Davis were given the opportunity to stop the game.
Whoever had the most points would win, and Pavich made sure everyone knew the stakes weren't low for Leeler.
"And our audience, you know what will happen," Povich said. "This man will be the champion of all time in game shows."
Because he had more points then Davis. Legrer was the big winner.
"I'd like to stop the game," Legler said coolly.
Later, Legler wasn't so lucky with questions about French cuisine and the human body. He was quickly replaced by a new champion.
But at the end of the game, an assistant wheeled out a cart piled high with bundles of cash — all of Legler's winnings.
According to a University press release, Legler was a member of KU's Naval ROTC program and currently is a recruiter for the U.S. Navy.
Throughout most of the final game, the uniformed contestant kept a military-like stance . his hands clasped behind his back, elbows out and legs apart. His name, on a badge, flashed
"It was like 'Oh my God, that's David Legler.' "
Liz Gentry former student records clerk at KU Naval ROTC
above the right pocket of his khaki button-up shirt. An array of multi-colored badges were piled above his left pocket.
Liz Gentry, a former student records clerk at KU Naval ROTC. watched Monday's show.
She said Legier maintained his military attitude during the first part of that show, but loosened up after he passed the half-million mark.
"You could see all his inhibitions stripped away," she said.
Gentry said she hadn't seen Legler in a long time, but she recognized him right away when she spotted him on Twenty One.
"It was like 'Oh my God, that's David Leeler.'" she said.
Gentry said Legler now is stationed near Chicago in Great Lakes, Ill.
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said he was pleased with the alum's accomplishment.
"We're always excited when KU graduates do well," Cohen said. "This is particularly a chance to show off their brainpower."
According to "Maury Answers Your Questions," an NBC.com online chat session with Povich, a contestant won $1,120,000 on the Feb. 2 episode of Twenty One — the largest individual prize to be awarded in television game history.
Until last night, that is.
Millionaire marries stranger on Fox show
Bv Jessie Mever
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Who wants to marry a millionaire? A lot of people would, but most wouldn't marry a stranger on national television.
That's what happened Tuesday night when Rick Rockwell, a real estate investor and motivational speaker worth millions, met and married Darva Conger on Fox television.
Conger was one of 50 women between the ages of 19 to mid-40s who were put on display on national television in bathing suits and wedding gowns.
The bride-to-be hopefuls were reduced to ten and then to five before Rockwell chose his life partner.
The bride and groom proceeded to the Las Vegas Hilton hotel where the ceremony was performed and taped.
The beauty-pageant-game-show wedding may be the first of several if the idea of a game show called Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire takes off.
"I'll be your friend, your lover and your partner." Conger told Rockwell before he made his decision. "You will never get bored."
At the University of Kansas, it doesn't sound likely.
After the wedding, the newlyweds escaped to an undisclosed location for their honeymoon.
"You couldn't pay me a million bucks to go on there," said Kent Bozarth, Englewood junior, of the chance to be on Who Wants to Marry a Multi-
"I'll be your friend, your lover and your partner. You will never get bored."
Darva Conger new bride to muti-millionaire
Millionaire. "It seems like people are looking for the wrong things."
Bozarth is not alone in his skepticism.
"I think it's a bad idea because they don't even know each other," said Carolyn Konar, St. Charles freshman.
"Marriage is supposed to be about love, and this is just for the money."
Conger signed a prenuptial agreement before the ceremony, which may dampen some of the criticisms about the money.
"A prenuptial agreement is a contract you would sign before you get married that would state how you wanted your property disposed of if you would get divorced," said Braxton Copley, KU staff attorney. "Basically, he gets to keep his multi-millions and she gets to keep whatever she brought."
Mike Darnell. Fox's executive vice president for alternative programming, came up with the idea of the show.
"The money is a cutesy motivational factor," Darnell told an Associated Press reporter. "I think mostly people are looking for a relationship."

Marcus Fizer too tough for Jayhawks
Marcus Fizer is a large man.
Marcus Fizer is intimidating. At the Kansas men's basketball game last night against Iowa State, even sitting in the stands, I was leery of his presence on the basketball court.
Marcus Fizer is scary. He looks mean, he acts mean and he plays mean. He could be the best player in the Big 12 Conference. His Iowa State Cyclones have only one Big 12 defeat, a double-overtime loss at Oklahoma.
Marcus Fizer beat the Jayhawks. Not only did he record 15 points and ten boards, he was the man who made an off-balance 18-footer with ten seconds left in the game that drove the nail in the coffin of the Jayhawks.
It was a shot that Kansas coach Roy Williams said was representative of the way Marcus Fizer plays the game.
"Fizer is just so big," he said. "He made a tough shot, and it beat us."
That's not to say that Fizer wasn't helped by his teammates to crush Kansas' hopes. But it was Fizer who set the tone with his touch play, confidence and overall ability.
In fact, even the Kansas players seemed to feel Fizer's confidence on the court. Forward Drew Gooden said that although he wasn't intimidated by Fizer's reputation and play, he could tell that Fizer knew all along his team could win the ball game.
"He knocked it down when they needed it," Gooden said. "And it was like when he knocked it down he said, 'I told you so.'"
Fizer has something the Jayhawks lack — confidence that at any time in the ball game, no matter how the game is going, his team can win.
Gooden put it all in perspective when he offered a way to stop Marcus Fizer.
And he knows that when the game is on the line, he's getting the ball — Fizer is the go-to guy for the Cyclones. He's reminiscent of Kansas two years ago when the game was on the line and coach Williams needed someone to call, he'd dial up Paul Pierce or Raef LaFrentz. Williams doesn't have that luxury anymore. Cyclone coach Larry Eustachy does.
"Don't let him catch the ball," he said. "He's just a great player. I thought we did a great job on him."
And the 'Hawks did play great defense. They came out in the first half cutting off the lane, stopping the drive and playing great man-to-man. Then, in the second half, they went to a zone that didn't allow the Cyclones much to work with. But it was enough.
Jayhawk fans shouldn't feel bad about last night's loss. Although they didn't shoot well, Kansas played well in areas they had been lacking in, especially defense. They played in front of a loud home crowd that saw a match-up between two of the top teams in one of the top conferences in the country.
But it's hard to stop a freight train. The big, scary, freight train of Marcus Fizer's Cyclones.
And at the end of the game, Fizer showed he still had something left in the caboose.

Cyclones slash Big 12 title hopes for Jayhawks
Bv Shawn Hutchinson
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Iowa State Cyclones have been tearing up all kinds of debris lately.
The Cyclones have won 18 of 19 games, torn through five straight Big 12 Conference opponents and cleared themselves a path straight to a No. 14 national ranking.
The debris took on the tinge of crimson and last night.
Marcus Fizer hit an off-balance 18-foot turnaround jumper with six seconds left — a dagger that struck straight in the heart of No. 24 Kansas in a 64-62 loss to Iowa State at Allen Fieldhouse.
"It looked like it was going to go in and out around the rim," said Kansas forward Drew Gooden. "It was the right shot at the right time."
Kansas held an 11-point lead halfway through the second half and was up 59-53 with 3:06 remaining. Then the Cyclones went on a vicious run, sparked by three steals, which helped them tie the game at 59-59 with 1:43 remaining.
From there, the Jayhawks' fortunes dropped like a ton of rocks. Kansas guard Jeff Bosche missed a three-point shot, and the rebound was corralled by Iowa State guard Michael Nurse. Nurse was fouled by Kansas forward Nick Collison and hit both free-throws. That gave Iowa State a 61-59 lead with 1:11 remaining.
On Kansas' next possession, Kenny Gregory missed a jumper with 47 seconds left and Nurse again got the board — one of five rebounds on the night.
Instead of fouling, Kansas opted to let Iowa State milk the clock. That decision proved costly when Fizer's shot hit the bottom of the net and gave the Cyclones a 63-59 lead.
Kansas was able to pull within one-point when Jeff Boschee canned a three-pointer, but that was too little too late.
"I think it's obvious how much it
hurts," Collison said. "They made some plays and grabbed it from us."
Other than Fizer's miracle heave, the Jayhawks were killed with their inability to keep their poise down the stretch.
"We turned it over three straight times, and they went down and scored every time." Williams said.
Because the Jayhawks were unable to make those plays, they dropped to 18-7 overall and out of the Big 12 title race at 7-4. Iowa State improved to 22-3 and 10-1.
The night wasn't a good one for Kansas in terms of foul trouble, and it was even worse for Boschee. Boschee, who started his second straight game at off-guard, shot a horrendous two-for-17 from the field, while the Jayhawks committed 26 personal fouls.
The foul problems sent the Cyclones to the charity stripe 28 times, and they converted 15 of those opportunities.
The loss snapped a 12-game home winning streak.
“It’s frustrating and one I will remember for a long time,” Williams said. “I really wanted our team to do something special tonight. It’s been a tough year in a lot of ways.
"We're going to keep trying and see what happens."

Chenowith steps up, but game slips away
Bv Matt Tait
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Before last night's game, Kansas center Eric Chenowith said that his main goal was to stop Iowa State stud Marcus Fizer.
he did shoot it, we were swarming him."
"I thought we did a great job on him in the first half," Chenowith said. "We really limited his touches and when
"In the second half, he had one where he made the basket and got fouled, and then he hit that one at the buzzer," Chenowith said. "I mean, I deflected the ball, I don't know how it went in. He made some amazing plays."
For the first half, Chenowith and the Jayhawks were successful in doing so. They held Fizer to three points on one-seven shooting.
The second half, however, was a different story because when it counted most, Fizer delivered.
Fizer's turnaround — either the one in the second half or the one at the
buzzer that ultimately sealed the game — did not come easy.
At the break, had Kansas up 26-25. Chenowith had five defensive rebounds, two steals and two blocks.
His final numbers reflect Iowa State's surge in the second half, as he only added three rebounds and one block to his first-half numbers.
Nonetheless, Iowa State coach Larry Eustache was impressed with Chenowith's play—especially in light of the fact that Nick Collison played most of the game in foul trouble.
"I think Eric Chenowith came in and did a more than respectable job," Eustachy said.
Kansas coach Roy Williams agreed, but said that no matter how it's looked at, Kansas still lost.
"I thought he was effective," Williams said. "But you can talk about individual performances all you want. The bottom line is our team didn't win."
Cenoweth, drained and down, said he felt like he had been through a war
and that the way the game slipped away was hard to put into words. However, he maintained that the Jayhawks were not out.
“As much as it hurts right now, I think you're going to see a lot from this team down the stretch,” he said. “I have the mentality that I'm not going to give up on us. All we can do is win. Winning takes care of everything.”
The next opportunity for Kansas to win comes Sunday when Oklahoma comes to Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks weather Cyclones, harassing fans
By Chris Fickett

AMES, Iowa — The Kansas women's basketball team dissipated the vortex last night in Hilton Coliseum.
Iowa State's fans, who had spent the majority of the game arguing calls and harassing Kansas players, were either sitting on their hands or halfway home when the Jayhawks shocked the No. 10 Cyclones 79-71, ending Iowa State's 26-game home winning streak.
Senior center Heather Fletcher, who made a critical offensive rebound down the stretch, yelled and celebrated with her teammates at the half-court line. As the team filed into the locker room, senior guard Lynn Pride embraced coach Marian Washington after a Cyclone fan uttered unpleasantries.

Raymant: had 20 points for the night

Reves: finished with a game-high 24 points
"I've been in this business a long time, and Iowa State has been one of those long rivalries that I've enjoyed. And I really applaud the fact that there's so many people here supporting this team," Washington said. "I just bothers me sometimes when people are so rude and crude to young people."
"The experience we had at Texas Tech has really helped us in the long run," said Washington of her team's 76-56 loss in front of more than 13,000 Red Raider fans. "We have to find ways to maintain our composure and this team did an excellent job."
Kansas, which never trailed, was up by only five points with 1:14 left after Iowa State's Desiree Francis hit one of her two late three-pointers. Senior guard Suzi Raymont was fouled on the inbound play and made both her free throws.
Kansas, which moved to 18-6 and 9-3 in the Big 12 Conference, lost three games last season to the Cyclones, who dropped to 18-5 and 9-3. This year, the 'Hawks are 2-0, mainly because of their composure.
On the Cyclones' next possession, forward Megan Taylor threw a pass right at Raymant, which accounted
for one of Iowa State's 27 turnovers in the game. Raymant then passed the ball to junior forward Brooke Reves, who scored, and pushed Kansas' lead to nine.
Reves finished with a game-high 24 points, shot 12-of-20 from the field and grabbed seven rebounds, four of those offensive.
She was scoreless in the teams' first game this year and was coming off a seven-point performance in a disappointing defeat at Nebraska on Sunday.

Don't launch a new endeavor quite yet. Do a little more planning first. If you think out all the various scenarios, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble. You might save a lot of time and money, too. Learn viciously.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You have a few big decisions to make. Trouble is, you can't make up your mind! You're not going to get someone else to decide for you. It would be nice, but not really. You're the only one who really knows what's best for you. Do it.
P
Leo: Today is a 5.
You may feel cramped. Why should you have to modify your magnificence, just because of somebody else? Well, it might be a good idea if you did. You have just about everything figured out, but there could be one last thing. This will give you fit until you get it.

Virgo: Today is a 7.
Together
You're under pressure at work. Make sure everything gets done perfectly and on time. You always like to do the best job you can, but you don't have to do it all by yourself. Get a team working with you, and your success is even more assured.
Libra: Today is a 7.

LION
This will be one of those days when you have to think things through carefully. Don't let anybody push you into moving more quickly than absolutely necessary. A couple of people want to give it a try, but do what's right for you.
A lot is going on today, and you're popular. Everybody wants you to be part of their team. You could entertain at home. That's the best location for a romantic interlude.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You want to get moving, but you're stuck. You can't travel because you have to work. You want to stretch your legs and your mind, but you're trapped in a box. Try not to bite anybody's head off; just go for a long walk when you can.
Money, money, money. Your money, other people's money, taxes and investments. What to do? Well, you're going to grow up to be good at this, if you're not already. You have a natural talent.
There could be a bit of a struggle today. You may want to delegate some of your responsibilities, but you may not be sure how. You and your mate could get into an argument about who's doing what. Share the load, but keep the responsibilities if you can.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
You've been getting along fine with your friends and loved ones, but you might get a little more reserved for the next few weeks. Focus on your work today, and the romance should take care of itself. You don't have to be aggressive. It'll come to you.

Duval, Els eye Tiger at Nissan Open tourney
GOLF
LOS ANGELES — David Duval and Ernie Els, two of the world's best golfers, don't resent Tiger Woods' success. In fact, they're fans of the 24-year-old wizard.
100%
"The impact he has had and continues to have is amazing," said Duval yesterday after playing a rainsoaked round in the Nissan Open pro-am at Riviera Country Club. "I feel very lucky to be a part of the game right now, out here playing with him. It's a neat time to be playing. I think Tiger is sort of viewed outside of our game now. It's hard for me, as a friend of his, to really grasp who he is and what he represents because he's become such a big star and I don't look at him that way. Maybe that's how it is with Michael Jordan."
"It's kind of easy for me to talk about Tiger," said Els who won by two shots last year. "I regard him as the best player in the world, and he's leading the way, showing the way for other players to follow. He motivates me, makes me want to try to get my game to a higher level."
Els, who is defending his Nissan Open title against Woods, Duval and the rest of the Nissan field this week, had similar feelings.
Woods also motivates Duval, who about this time last year had already won twice and was ranked No. 1 in the world, with Woods second.
Viking punter re-signed, sets record for high pay
NFL
The Pro Bowl punter re-signed with Minnesota, agreeing to a five-year, $6 million deal that includes a $1.65 million bonus — a record for an NFL punter.
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Mitch Berger wants no part of blustery Lambaube Field, storm Arrowhead Stadium or breezy Raymond James Stadium.
The total value of the deal ties Cleveland's Chris Gardocki as the richest ever signed by a punter.
Agent Tom Mills said the Vikings agreed to the bonus yesterday, stopping the free agent from boarding an evening flight for Kansas City. Berger also canceled visits to Tampa Bay and Green Bay.
"Had he taken some of those trips, there was a possibility of a higher offer, but in the grand scheme staying in Minnesota and indoors in a dome was very influential in his decision," Mills said.

To make room for Williams, the Panthers released right guard Anthony Redmon, a starter of 15 games last season.
"Anthony worked very hard, and we have a great deal of respect for him." Seifert said. "It is an unfortunate part of the business."

Famed ring announcer dies of heart problems
LAS VEGAS — Chuck Hull, the ring announcer for most of the 1980s Las Vegas fights, has died. He was 75.
Hull, who announced at least 130 world title fights until he retired in 1995, worked such fights as the first Sugar Ray Leonard-Thomas Hearns bouts, the Larry Holmes Muhammad Ali and the Holmes-Gerry Cooney flights.
Hull was also the ring announcer for the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
"In the 1980s, he personified the sport of boxing in Las Vegas," said Marc Ratner, the Nevada Athletic Commission executive director. "Almost every big fight, he was the ring announcer for. He had a resonant voice and a classy manner, understated in the way he introduced the fighters."
Hull worked in the casino business for more than 44 years.
Funeral services are set for Saturday.

Rodman challenges Stern to fist fight after being booted from Bucks game
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Dennis Rodman ejected? That's old stuff. This time, Rodman is taking a new approach. He wants to duke it out with David Stern.
"I don't know who gave David Stern all the power in the world to sit there and make all the rules in the world, but this league has gone to hell." Rodman said after his ejection from Tuesday night's game, only his second with the Mavericks. "It's ridiculous."
Rodman, speaking on his way from the locker room to the parking lot, then challenged the commissioner to settle their differences with their fists.
"I wish me and David Stern can get some damn gloves on, and we go in the ring and we can see who'll come out the winner," Rodman said. "Me and him."
Rodman could be fined and suspended for his words and actions. There was no immediate comment yesterday from the NBA.
The latest blowup began with 7:13 left in Dallas' 112-99 home loss to Milwaukee.
Rodman complained that the Bucks should have been called for an illegal defense. As Sam Cassell went to shoot the free throw, Rodman
went to the other foul line and sat down in protest, drawing another technical and an automatic ejection. "I told the referee. Why don't you
I took the red kick me out for a reason? Let me hit somebody first. That's a good reason. Don't kick me out because I sit down, ' ' Rodman said. "I've been a marked man for years. Nobody else in the league would have gotten kicked out for that."

Rodman: Received second technical for sitting on foul line
Rodman also may be peeved at Stern for forcing him to move out of the guest house of Mavericks owner-in-waiting Mark Cuban.
The commissioner said the arrangement violated salary cap rules even though Rodman was paying rent. He was given 72 hours to move out.
"He's moved into a high-rise apartment," Cuban said Tuesday. "I don't know if all the stuff is completely moved yet, but it's done."

Dennis Rodman
Dallas Mavericks forward
Mavericks plenty of attention, but not necessarily the right kind. After winning seven of eight games, Dallas has lost two straight with the eccentric rebounding star.
Rodman actually was having a good game before being tossed. He had 16 rebounds — the most by a Dallas player this season — and added six points and four assists in 36 minutes.
Teammates said Rodman was upset that the Bucks were not called for fouls while playing rough defense against him.
"They were grabbing his shirt, and that frustrated him," Mavericks guard Erick Strickland said. "He didn't deserve to get ejected."

game with nine three-pointers, most of those coming late when the game was out of reach.
"They do a great job of spotting up on the perimeter and we really had to rotate and cover out," Washington said. "Obviously, the few times we didn't get it done they were able to knock it down."
To prevent the Jayhawks' offense from stalling in the vortex of crowd noise, Kansas' coaching staff used placards and hand signals to call plays from the sideline.
Reves said that last year coach Lynette Woodard advised the team to imagine that the crowd was screaming for them, not against
them.

Washington hoped that this game will help her team in their final regular season and league tournament games. Kansas plays Kansas State next on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.

AMES, Iowa — In 26 games, No. 10 Iowa State had not lost on its home turf. But last night, Kansas busted down the door and left the Cyclones to pick up the pieces.

Despite an excited crowd of 9,370,11th largest in school history, Iowa State, 18-5 overall, 9-3 in the Big 12 Conference, could not rally behind the noise and lost 79-71.
It is hard for teams to come in here and play," said senior guard Stacy Frese. "It is a mental thing, and now teams know it can be done."
The Cyclones recorded their second-best shooting percentage of the season, shooting 55.8 percent from the field, but they also shot a season-low 43 field goal attempts and simply came up short.
"We played hard tonight, but it wasn't enough," said low State coach Bill Fennell. "They outplay us tonight, and they deserved to win the game."
A major factor in Iowa State's loss was the performance of top three-point shooter Freese, who scored o lly nine points on one-of-seven shooting from the field and one-of-five shooting from three-point range.
Kansas foued much of its aggressive defensive strategy on stopping the three-point shot, which in large part meant stopping Frese.
"We had on on in mind to do with Frese," said Kansas coach Marian
Washington. "We had to cover her up and make sure we were in position to help on defense when one player was having trouble. When you have such great players, it is not easy for a one-on-one situation."
Iowa State's largest offensive contributor was senior forward Desiree Francis, who scored 18 points, and the Cyclones also got valuable points from guard Lindsey Wilson off the bench.
The most valuable of Wilson's season-high 13 points came in the form of back-to-back three-pointers with 6:57 and 6:17 remaining in the game. Her second bucket pulled the Cyclones to within six, but missed shots and turnovers kept Kansas in the lead.
"If there were any disbelievers, they came back at that point," Wilson said. "We thought we could fight back."
Fennelly said the turning point in the game, in his mind, came early in the second half. Iowa State had pulled closer at the end of the half but was unable to score its first bucket until five minutes into the half. With 12:51 remaining in the game, the Cyclones found themselves down by 17 points.
Iowa State never led the game.
"We didn't handle their pressure; we didn't adjust." Frese said. "They are so physical and push you away from the basket. And then you are trying to take your shots from 30 feet away, and those are hard shots to make."
But it was not just the defense that stumped Iowa State.
"Their offense was really efficient, and they
spread the ball around pretty well." Fennelly said. "Suzi always plays well against us, and Brooke didn't score a point against us last time, and she had 24 tonight. Offensively, this is the best I have seen them play. We gave up more transition baskets than we ever have. We didn't have time to transition because we were going one way, and they'd steal the ball and be going the other way."

'Utility man' London adds variety to 'Hawks
By Matt Tait

Kansan sportswriter
In the little more than one year and a half that Marlon London has played basketball at Kansas, one thing is for certain — no one has mistaken him for a scorer.
But that's just fine for the sophomore guard from Chicago.
"I just try to help this team win, any way I know how." London said. "And if it's passing the ball one night, or scoring one night, or defending one night, that what's I'll do."
Whatever is needed, London's the man.
London is Kansas' version of a utility player in baseball — he's the guy who can play a couple of different positions and a player who contributes in many different areas.
While averaging 17.6 minutes per game, London has been able to rack up some nice statistics in nearly every category. Just as he said, whatever is necessary, he'll do.
That is evident in London's season-high point-total — nine points — Feb. 3 at Iowa. But on a team where scoring comes from a variety of places, London prides himself on doing other things, namely passing.
"I take a lot of pride in that, because I don't like to turn the ball over." he said.
London is so conscious of not turning the ball over that he rarely does it. His 1.5 assist-to-turnover ratio is third on the team.
Yes, London can and does it all.
London's season-high for assists is five, but on five other occasions he dished out four assists, and he is only three short of 100 career assists. The most rebounds he ripped down in one game this season was seven against Colorado, but his 3.0 average is impressive for a guard.
Recently, however, with the Jayhawks enduring a bit of a scoring slump, Kansas coach Roy Williams alluded to the fact that one reason the points haven't been piling up on the scoreboard was because at the beginning of the season he expected some players to score more than they have. One of those players was London.
"He hasn't been as productive this year as I thought he was going to be, and I'm sure he'd say the same thing." Williams said.
But one of a coach's luxuries is that if he wants a player to do something, he tells him and it usually gets done. That is exactly what
Williams did with London last week during the scoring drought.
"He told me basically to take my man and if I have a shot, shoot it, and if not try to pass it to the other players." London said.
On Saturday, in Kansas 94-65 rout of Kansas State, London had only five points, but Williams said he noticed London's play was more offensive-minded.
"You look at it and he was only 1-for-4, but I thought he was much more active today."
Williams said after the Kansas State game. "He had four assists and two turnovers and that's the kind of play we want out of him."
A scorer London is not, but he is an essential part of this Jayhawk team. While his numerical statistics are not overwhelming, his style of play fits in with the team.
"If he had played just a little bit better, I may be starting him at this time," Williams said. "He's on the verge of really giving us good minutes."
Women's swim team hopes winning ways will steer it to victory
By Brandon Krisztal sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Momentum, by definition, is something that propels an object forward.
The Kansas women's swimming and diving team hopes its momentum from the past two meets will do just that at the Big 12 Conference Championships. The Jayhawks begin competing today in College Station, Texas at the Texas A&M University Natatorium.
The Jayhawks, 6-4, 3-1, are riding consecutive wins highlighted by a one-point, 122-121, win against no. 16 Nebraska on Jan. 28 in Lawrence. They downed Iowa State 171-124 on Feb. 5 in Ames, Iowa. Kansas is familiar with the surroundings in College Station, after a 163-132 loss to the 22nd ranked Aggeries Jan. 22.
Coach Gary Kempf has been pleased with his team's hard work going into conference.
"The practices leading up to this week have been going real well," Kempf said. "We're at the end of our taper, and we've given ourselves an opportunity (to win the meet)."
The Jayhawks received some outstanding performances, both expected and unexpected, from a number of different swimmers and divers. The freshman threesome of Gwen Haley, Lyndsay DeVaney and Beth Schryer have been an integral part of the team's success this season. Haley leads the team with 12 wins followed by DeVaney's 10 and Schryer's
six.
Haley and Schryer finished first and second, respectively, in the 400-meter individual medley at Texas A&M, and both provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships
March 16 to 18 in Indianapolis, Ind. Haley's time of 4:20.31 is the third fastest in school history. Schryer posted a time of 4:23.96.
Senior captain Kerri Pribyl won seven diving events including six in the last four meets, and junior Carolyn Grevers also posted seven wins this season.
Following the Jan. 22 meet in College Station, Kempf saw the loss as something to build on. It gave the team some familiarity with the pool, the hotel and the surroundings in College Station. Kempf knows what his team will have to do to win.
"The keys to our success lie in total team performance," he said. "Of course we're going to have some people perform really well, just as we have all season long. But the key for us will be swimming and diving real well from top to bottom. That's something our team has talked about now for a long time."
In the short life of the Big 12, the Jayhawks finished fourth in 1998 and took third-place twice — in 1997 and last year.
Pribyl knows the competition will be tough, but she likes her teams chances.
"We have a lot of talent," she said. "We feel like we can really stand up to anyone in the conference, including Texas (No. 13 in the country)."

"We didn't handle their pressure; we didn't adjust." Frese said. "They are so physical and push you away from the basket. And then you are trying to take your shots from 30 feet away, and those are hard shots to make."
But it was not just the defense that stumped Iowa State.
"Their offense was really efficient, and they
spread the ball around pretty well." Fennelly said. "Suzi always plays well against us, and Brooke didn't score a point against us last time, and she had 24 tonight. Offensively, this is the best I have seen them play. We gave up more transition baskets than we ever have. We didn't have time to transition because we were going one way, and they'd steal the ball and be going the other way."

In the little more than one year and a half that Marlon London has played basketball at Kansas, one thing is for certain — no one has mistaken him for a scorer.

But that's just fine for the sophomore guard from Chicago.
"I just try to help this team win, any way I know how," London said. "And if it's passing the ball one night, or scoring one night, or defending one night, that's what I'll do."
Whatever is needed, London's the man.
Whatever is needed, London's the man. London is Kansas' version of a utility player in baseball — he's the guy who can play a couple of different positions and a player who contributes in many different areas.
While averaging 17.6 minutes per game, London has been able to rack up some nice statistics in nearly every category. Just as he said, whatever is necessary, he'll do.
That is evident in London's season-high point-total — nine points — Feb. 3 at Iowa. But on a team where scoring comes from a variety of places, London prides himself on doing other things, namely passing.
"I take a lot of pride in that, because I don't like to turn the ball over," he said.
London is so conscious of not turning the ball over that he rarely does it. His 1.5 assist-to-turnover ratio is third on the team.
Yes, London can and does do it all.
London's season-high for assists is five, but on five other occasions he dished out four assists, and he is only three short of 100 career assists. The most rebounds he ripped down in one game this season was seven against Colorado, but his 3.0 average is impressive for a guard.
Recently, however, with the Jayhawks enduring a bit of a scoring slump, Kansas coach Roy Williams alluded to the fact that one reason the points haven't been piling up on the scoreboard was because at the beginning of the season he expected some players to score more than they have. One of those players was London.
"He hasn't been as productive this year as I thought he was going to be, and I'm sure he'd say the same thing." Williams said.
But one of a coach's luxuries is that if he wants a player to do something, he tells him and it usually gets done. That is exactly what
Williams did with London last week during the scoring drought.
"He told me basically to take my man and if I have a shot, shoot it, and if not try to pass it to the other players." London said.
On Saturday, in Kansas 94-65 rout of Kansas State, London had only five points, but Williams said he noticed London's play was more offensive-minded.
"You look at it and he was only 1-for-4, but I thought he was much more active today."
Williams said after the Kansas State game. "He had four assists and two turnovers and that's the kind of play we want out of him."
A scorer London is not, but he is an essential part of this Jayhawk team. While his numerical statistics are not overwhelming, his style of play fits in with the team.
"If he had played just a little bit better, I may be starting him at this time," Williams said. "He's on the verge of really giving us good minutes."
Women's swim team hopes winning ways will steer it to victory

Momentum, by definition, is something that propels an object forward.
The Kansas women's swimming and diving team hopes its momentum from the past two meets will do just that at the Big 12 Conference Championships. The Jayhawks begin competing today in College Station, Texas at the Texas A&M University Natatorium.
The Jayhawks, 6-4, 3-1, are riding consecutive wins highlighted by a one-point, 122-121, win against No. 16 Nebraska on Jan. 28 in Lawrence. They downed Iowa State 171-124 on Feb. 5 in Ames, Iowa. Kansas is familiar with the surroundings in College Station, after a 163-132 loss to the 22nd ranked Aggies Jan. 22.
Coach Gary Kempf has been pleased with his team's hard work going into conference.
"The practices leading up to this week have been going real well." Kempf said. "We're at the end of our taper, and we've given ourselves an opportunity (to win the meet)."
The Jayhawks received some outstanding performances, both expected and unexpected, from a number of different swimmers and divers. The freshman threesome of Gwen Haley, Lyndsay DeVaney and Beth Schryer have been an integral part of the team's success this season. Haley leads the team with 12 wins followed by DeVaney's 10 and Schryer's
six.
Haley and Schryer finished first and second, respectively, in the 400-meter individual medley at Texas A&M, and both provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships — March 16 to 18 in Indianapolis, Ind. Haley's time of 4:20.31 is the third fastest in school history. Schryer posted a time of 4:23.96.
Senior captain Kerri Pribyl won seven diving events including six in the last four meets, and junior Carolyn Grevers also posted seven wins this season.
Following the Jan. 22 meet in College Station, Kempf saw the loss as something to build on. It gave the team some familiarity with the pool, the hotel and the surroundings in College Station. Kempf knows what his team will have to do to win.
"The keys to our success lie in total team performance," he said. "Of course we're going to have some people perform really well, just as we have all season long. But the key for us will be swimming and diving real well from top to bottom. That's something our team has talked about now for a long time."
In the short life of the Big 12, the Jayhawks finished fourth in 1998 and took third-place twice — in 1997 and last year.
Priblyl knows the competition will be tough, but she likes her teams chances.
"We have a lot of talent," she said. "We feel like we can really stand up to anyone in the conference, including Texas (No. 13 in the country)."

Bulls trade star Kukoc to Sixers
PHILADELPHIA — The Chicago Bulls parted with the last piece of their dynasty yesterday in a trade that sent Toni Kukoc to the Philadelphia 76ers in a three-way deal involving the Golden State Warriors. The Associated Press learned.

BULLS
sends a No. 1 draft pick and guard John Starks to Chicago.
The Bulls also get reserve guard Bruce Bowen, who played sparingly for Philadelphia. The draft pick Chicago gets from Golden State is Washington's pick from the Chris Webber trade. If it's in the top three picks of the lottery this year, the Bulls will have to wait for an unprotected No. 1 pick in 2001.
Kukoc, 31, would become the last key player from Chicago's six-championship run this decade to leave the team, following stars Michael Jordan, Scottie
Pippen and coach Phil Jackson.
There was speculation the Lakers would acquire Kukoc and reunite him with Jackson, his former coach. But the Sixers' acquisition of the 6-foot-11 swingman immediately made them a serious playoff threat in the Eastern Conference.
Hughes, drafted eight overall in 1998,
didn't agree with Philadelphia coach
Larry Brown or fit in the Sixers' offense with Allen Iverson at shooting guard. He was nearly dealt to Miami as part of a deal for Jamal Mashburn several weeks ago, but it fell through.
In recent weeks, Kukoc has said he wouldn't mind leaving the Bulls.
"Sounds good to me," he said. "It would be nice to play again for a team that has a great chance to win a championship."
With Kukoc in Philadelphia, the Sixers have that chance. After playing alongside Jordan in Chicago, Kukoc now will find himself playing with Iverson, the defending scoring champion who is the 76ers version of Jordan.
Kukoc was sidelined with back spasms
ior most of the early season and only recently returned, sparking the Bulls to three straight victories. He is in the final year of his contract and will be a free agent at season's end.
Bulls general manager Jerry Krause has scoffed at the notion of Kukoc returning to Europe after the season, saying the player and his family were too Americanized. Kukoc acknowledged
that Krause was right.
"My family, I can say, is pretty Americanized." Kukoc said. "My son has lived pretty much all his life in Chicago, my daughter was born in Chicago, we all like Chicago. So he is half-right about that.
"But I still like to go home in the summer, and I've never actually said 'no' to the European teams. I'm keeping those options open, but only if I can't find a team in the NBA.
"I'm intending to stay in the NBA."
"I'm intending to stay in the Kukoc made an immediate impact when he returned from the injured list, with 18 points and 11 rebounds in his first game back. Two days later, he had 33 points and 10 assists in a 110-103 victory against Washington.
Hornets forward acquitted of drunken driving charge
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte Hornets forward Derrick Coleman was acquitted of drunken driving yesterday when a judge said prosecutors did not prove the player was intoxicated at the time
intoxicated at the time of a 1999 traffic wreck.
Teammate Eldridge Recasner was seriously injured in the crash.
Mecklenburg District Judge Eric L. Levinson said authorities had failed to convince him beyond a reasonable doubt that
CHARLOTTE HORNETS
Coleman was legally impaired.
"I cannot make that finding," said Levinson, who found Coleman guilty on a related charge of unsafe movement. Coleman, in the second season of a five-year, $40 million contract, was fined $100 and ordered to pay $86 in court costs.
The charges stemmed from a crash that occurred early Oct. 27 when Coleman, driving
Coleman declined to discuss the case as he left the courthouse.
a sports utility vehicle, made a left turn and was struck on the passenger's side by an oncoming tractor-trailer.
Recasner, 32, a backup guard for the Hornets, was riding in the front passenger seat and suffered a fractured right shoulder, a collapsed lung and numerous other injuries in his chest, requiring extensive rehabilitation.
Coleman, 32, and a passenger, Ebony Kimbrough, 25, both had facial cuts.
Recasner remains on the injured list but has begun practicing again, and the club is hopeful he will resume playing soon.
Coleman told officers he had been drinking champagne earlier during the night, but refused to submit to a breath examination or other sobriety tests at the crash scene, and he would not consent to a blood test when he got to the hospital.
Assistant District Attorney Amy Sigmon said authorities should be allowed to draw logical conclusions from Coleman's refusal to consent to any of the tests in the field and at the hospital.
"The state would contend the reason he chose not to do these things was because he knew himself he was impaired that evening." she said.

Royals induct player, coach
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Willie Wilson, the best lead-off hitter in Kansas City Royals history, joined former manager Whitey Herzog yesterday as the newest inductees in the Royals Hall of Fame.
Both were named on at least 75 percent of ballots by a panel of media representatives, former players and team officials.
Many had thought Herzog, the Royals' manager from 1975 through 1979. should have been named to the hall many years earlier. But some bitterness remained long after Herzog was fired after the 1979 season despite winning three straight American League West titles beginning in 1976.
"I kinda knew the circumstances, which I'd rather not go into," said Herzog, who later managed the St. Louis Cardinals to a World Series championship.
"The writers had told me last summer, 'We're going to see what we can do to get you into the Royals Hall of Fame.'
very, very happy about it."
Herrzog became manager the same year Wilson came up from the minor leagues and was a key part of his development into one of the finest switch hitters and base-stalers in the league.
"Going in with Whitey is a great honor because he was my first manager," said Wilson, a switch-hitting outfielder.
"He gave me some tough times. But I think through his tough times I learned a lot about baseball. I learned to play the game hard and not take too many days off. It was fun."
Wilson's 19-year career ended in 1994 with a .285 average. He hit better than .300 four consecutive seasons from 1979-82 and stole more than 10 bases in 11 consecutive campaigns. In 1979, he led the league with a Royals-record 83 stolen bases.
He won the AL batting title with a .332 average in 1982 and led the league in trinles five times.
In 1980, Wilson became the second player to get 100 hits from each side of the plate and had a league-high 230 hits. But that was
also the year he suffered through what he said was his worst moment when he struck out 12 times in the 1980 World Series, which the Philadelphia Phillies won in six games.
"I didn't really appreciate that. I didn't like that," Wilson said. "But once you think about it, there were only two teams that were playing, and one team had to win and one team had to lose."
Wilson said the good moment was in 1985 when the Royals came back from three games down to defeat St. Louis in the World Series.
"To be able to do that — it was such an honor, such a pleasure and such a great feat for us," he said. "Those two times really stick out."
Wilson said he would like to work for the Royals in some capacity.
"I would be willing to start any where," he said. "I love Kansas City. It would be fun."
Royals general manager Herk Robinson said no other player ever gave the Royals what Wilson could give them.
Kansas City casino among defendants accused of negligence
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The mother of a boxer who died during a 12-round super-middleweight bout sued a casino yesterday, claiming that it contributed to her son's death.
The Associated Press
Mother of fallen boxer files suit
The suit filed by Barbara Carver in Jackson County Circuit Court names Harrah's North Kansas City Casino, promoter America Presents, referee Ross Strada, ringside physician Michael Poppa and trainer-manager George Smith. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
"The lawsuit alleges that each one of these defendants contributed to the death of Randy Carver," said Tim Dollar, one of the family's lawyers. "To what degree each one contributed will be a matter for the jury."
WINDOWS
Carver, 24, died Sept. 14, two days after being knocked down in a North American Boxing Federation bout by Kabary Salem of New York.
Carver fell to the canvas in the 10th round after taking an overhand right and a straight left from Salem. He tried on four occasions to get up but couldn't get to his knees.
Carver lost consciousness after Strada ruled a knockout.
Among the allegations, the lawsuit says that Strada failed to stop the fight to protect Carver from frequent and repeated head butts. It also accused Strada of falling to summon the ringside doctor in a timely manner.
"We believe that regulations that are enacted to prevent injuries such as these were violated, and the lawsuit alleges this fight should have been stopped," Dollar said.
Strada ruled the head butts were accidental.
According to NABF rules, a fighter can lose points for

intentional head-butting. But he must be warned at least twice before he can be disqualified. Salem was not warned.
Poppa and Smith were accused in the lawsuit of failing to stop the fight and for providing inadequate medical attention to Carver.
The lawsuit also says that as promoters of the fight, Harrah's and America Presents are vicariously liable for the negligence of defendant Strada and defendant Poppa.
A representative for Harrah's North Kansas City Casino said the company had no comment.

Two students allegedly raped by same person during party
By Mindie Miller
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Two female KU students who attended a Halloween party the night of Oct. 30 say they were raped by the same man.
Lawrence police said the 20-year-old and 21-year-old students both went to a party held at a private residence in the 1600 block of Tennessee Street. Police said both victims consumed alcoholic beverages and then went to separate rooms in the residence to lie down and take naps. The alleged sexual assaults took place between 7:10 p.m. Oct. 30 and 3 a.m. Oct. 31.
Sgt. George Wheeler said police had been in contact with a male suspect, whom he described as a 21-year-old Leawood resident. The incident report does not indicate whether the suspect is a KU student, Wheeler said.
The victims apparently knew the suspect as an acquaintance — someone who was attending the party — but not as a friend, Wheeler said. He said that the two victims were acquainted with one another but that he didn't think they had come to the party together.
He said the victims waited until Nov. 2 before calling police.
Wheeler said he could not comment on whether a rape kit had been performed. He said police waited until yesterday to release the report to the public because they were trying to build a case.
"We have contacted the suspect and attempted to interview him without success," Wheeler said. "We have written up a report and are sending it to the DA's office to see what, if any, charges will be filed."
Douglas County District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said yesterday that her office had just received the report and had not had time to review it. She could not comment on whether action would be taken.

Architecture students
typically spend many
sleepless nights working
together in the studios of Marvin Hall.

Students burn midnight oil in Marvin
By Clare McLellan
Special to the Kansan
The lights are always on in Marvin Hall. John Gaunt, in his sixth year as dean of architecture and urban design, hears about it all the time.
"People walk by late at night and notice the lights are on and always ask me what goes on in here," he said.
What does go on in Marvin Hall, the ornate old building at the end of Jayhawk Boulevard? Sketching, drawing, drafting, model-making, laughing, talking, collaborating, eating, drinking, sleeping, singing, playing — at all hours, all year long.
Architecture students take 165 hours within their five-year bachelor's degree program. Combined with an average of 20 to 40 hours per week outside of class and inside the studio, majoring in architecture is a full-time job with long nights and tedious work that takes a particular personality.
A creative, artistic impulse is what draws people to study architecture, Gaunt said.
They must also be committed.
"You gotta have the love"
Students may enter the school of architecture freshman year, but the application process is highly selective — only about 50 percent of applicants are accepted.
"I always loved drawing, painting and building Legos, but at first I wanted to be an artist," he said. "My grandma was an artist.
Tom McDonough, St. Louis, junior, said he wanted to be an architect since he was four.
and she told me, 'Be an architect, they make more money.' So that's what I decided to do, and I love it. You gotta have the love."
Barry Newton, professor of architecture and urban design, has been teaching in Marvin Hall for 20 years. To be a successful architect, he said, a student must be hardworking and adventurous.
"The students come from very different backgrounds, which is good," he said. "We wouldn't want generic architects, because there aren't generic buildings or generic clients."
It's 10:30 on a Tuesday night, and Room 114 in Marvin Hall is alive.
All work and no play?
"This building just seems to have a presence," said Mariah Walters, Bonner Springs junior and architecture major.
The students in Dave Griffin's third-year studio have a project due in less than a week, and the room is full.
Several small conversations about measurements, preliminary sketches, music and wisdom teeth pop up periodically. And there's lots of laughter.
"We have a good time," Walters said.
"The atmosphere in here is supportive. We're here for each other. What we go through together forms such a great bond. I wasn't looking for friends. It just happens."
Most students agreed the studio was their home away from home. Such circumstances produce a sort of subculture, Newton said.
See ARCHITECTURE on page 2A
Architecture faculty to decide fate of undergraduate program
By Nathan Willis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan campus editor
Faculty of the School of Architecture and Urban Design will vote at noon today on a proposal that would eliminate the undergraduate architecture program in favor of a six-year program resulting in a master's degree.
However, students in the school said they were angry because most were not informed about the vote until yesterday and then only through word of mouth.
"There's been nothing explained to us," said Marcus Carter, a St. Louis fifth-year senior. "The students just want to have a voice, to have input to the professors."
John Gaunt, dew of architecture, said the students' beliefs that they purposely had been left in the dark about the vote were wrong.
"There's nothing secretive about it," he said. "But these kinds of changes make people very nervous."
Rather, the vote is a step in a long process to change the school's emphasis, he said.
"The school has been going through a
gradual transition to a graduate emphasis from an undergraduate emphasis," he said. "It's not something that's happening overnight."
He also said that in the new six-year program, students would earn a bachelor of arts degree as well as a master's degree in architecture. He said that, if approved, the changes would be phased in slowly and that no current students would be forced out of the five-year undergraduate degree.
Still, Patrick Gleason, a fifth-year St. Louis senior, said administrators needed to listen to the negative student reaction.
"They seemed surprised that, to us, this should be a very big deal." Gleason said.
"The students are very interested, and the sad thing is that so few have had the opportunity to learn anything about it."
Donna Luckey, chairwoman of architecture and urban design, will meet with architecture students at 8 a.m. today on the third floor of Marvin Hall.
"Students are under a lot of misinformation, and we need to clear that up." Luckey said. "This proposal would give them a much stronger professional education."

Four students are finalists for Truman Scholarship
Four KU students are finalists for a Truman Scholarship.
E. J. Reedy, Topeka junior; Mark Bradshaw, Walnut senior; Christina Harms, Wichita junior; and Holly Krebs, Oskaloaosa senior; are finalists for the scholarship, which is for students planning a career in public service.
Reedy said that being a finalist was an honor and that the scholarship would help him to achieve his goals.
"It would allow me to do what I want to do — pursuing a career in the public service field," he said.
The students will be competing nationally, with at least one person from every state. Eighty-five scholarships are available.
The winners can receive as much as $3,000 for their senior year and $27,000 for three years of graduate study.
The Harry S. Truman Foundation will begin announcing the winners March 24.

The St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center is sponsoring the event for the first time. It will focus on incorporating faith into all spheres of life and to rejoice in the Jubilee year, said the Rev. Vince Krische of St. Lawrence.
"The key issue is how we can bring unity in Christ to the entire American continent," Krische said.
Keynote speakers at the convention will be Cardinal Francis George of the Archdiocese of Chicago, the Rev. Pat Tobin of Kansas City, Mo., who worked closely with Mother Theresa, and the Rev. James Ronan, the former secretary of Latin American affairs for the U.S. Bishop's office.

Local garage graffiti was gang-related, police say
Graffiti that was spray-painted on several residential buildings north of the University of Kansas between 6 p.m. Tuesday and 11:30 a.m. Wednesday is gang-related, Lawrence
police said.
Police were dispatched at 9:14 p.m. Tuesday to 7.17 Missouri St. in reference to criminal damage. A resident at that address was taking the trash out and found black spray-painted writing on an exterior garage wall, said Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler. The damage was estimated at $15.
Residents at 733 Missouri St. discovered similar black writing spray-painted on an outer garage wall, causing $40 damage. Graffiti on a garage at 801 Missouri St. caused $100 damage. One block west, at 729 Arkansas St., black writing on a garage wall caused $40 damage.
Wheeler said that police had no suspects but that the incidents probably were related. He also said the graffiti was gang-related because all the markings were gang symbols.
"Gang members mark their territory that way," he said.

Hemenway supports faculty wage increases
TOPEKA — Chancellor Robert Hemenway told legislators yesterday that the University of Kansas had slipped in national rank because KU faculty salaries were lower than peer institutions.
Hemenway testified to the Senate Ways and Means Subcommittee on Higher Education that he supported Gov. Bill Graves' $216 million budget recommendation for the coming fiscal year because it included an 8.5 percent increase in faculty salaries.
"Our greatest focus is on faculty salaries because that is where we are lagging behind," Hemenway said. "It's affecting our reputation and professors' morale."
Although the budget supports salaries, it includes about $12 million less than the University would like. Hemenway said this left the University feeling the pain of state budget cuts.
As for student tuition pains, Hemenay said his feelings toward recent increases were mixed because a KU education was still affordable.
On Tuesday, Korb Maxwell, student body president, told the subcommittee that higher education was growing unaffordable. Maxwell recommended that some tuition dollars go toward financial aid instead of universities' operating budgets.
Chairman Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, asked Hemenway if he supported Maxwell's proposal, because tuition dollars might be the only source of more financial aid.
"My own feeling is that it is not a good idea," Hemenway said. "I am in favor of more financial aid. But if you want to do that, you would simply be inflicting another cut on the University."
Katrina Hull
"Clearly, some of the students travel in packs," he said. "It's nice to have people that know you well and you know them. But it only works if they're all working hard."
Many students rely on others in their studio for advice on projects and motivation.
T. J. Brennan, St. Louis, junior, said his classmates were a good resource.
"When I finish a project, I can't say I designed the whole thing myself," he said. "I get input from everyone in studio. They tell you things you would never think of. And we laugh and talk and take breaks to play football. It keeps us awake."
Architecture tough on social lives
Continued from page 1A
mama reynolds, Neodesh sophomore, agreed. "We have to have some breaks," she said. "We've been in here since 8 yesterday morning." Lights out?
At midnight, the crowd in 114 has thinned but has not disappeared. The room is equipped with a computer, television, refrigerator, microwave and stereo. It's a self-contained world. Some students will stay all night.
"The students spend more time here than anywhere else," Newton said. "It's like having two apartments."
This all has a serious impact on their social lives. "I don't really think about the workload that much," Walters said. "But sometimes it's hard not to notice when it seems like everyone else in this town is out at the bars and you're in the studio."
Duart Duff, a 1988 KU architecture graduate, is an architectural technician at Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, Inc. in the sports facilities group. He said he remembered the studio as strangely competitive.
"Everyone pushed each other to excel and improve," he said. "No one ever told me, 'you don't spend enough time in studio.' I just knew that if I wasn't there, I was not working hard enough."
But he warned against spending too much time in studio.
By the early morning hours, few remain in Marvin Hall — awake, anyway. But at 8 a.m., all the students will return, or wake up and go to class.
ON THE RECORD
"College is a time to learn about yourself as a person, and you can't do that hunched over a drafting table," he said.

KU enrollment rises 1.3 percent
Regents schools have a net gain from Spring '99
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.edu
Kansan staff writer
Enrollment at the University of Kansas increased by 1.3 percent, or 309 students, this year from the Spring 1999 semester, according to official 20th day numbers released yesterday.
"The numbers are solid," said Todd Cohen, representative for University Relations. "It shows that we're going in the right direction."
The largest increase came from the number of nonresidents attending the University. The number jumped 3 percent, an
increase of 226 students.
The University, including the University of Kansas Medical Center, enrolled 8,461 nonresidents this semester, more than the seven other Regents institutions combined.
"We do a good job of enrolling non-residents," Cohen said. "You can see that compared to K-State, which has under 3,000 non-residents enrolled."
Institution Headcount for Spring 2000 Change from Spring 1999 % Change from Spring 1999 University of Kansas 24,209 309 1.3% Kansas State University 18,285 458 2.6% Wichita State University 14,567 359 2.5% Emporia State University 5,165 17 0.3% Pittsburg State University 5,884 -76 -1.3% Fort Hays State University 5,217 -202 -3.7% University of Kansas Medical Center 395 -4 -1.0% Kansas State University Salina College of Technology 814 36 4.6% Total 76,872 836 1.1%
Fort Hays endured a loss of 3.7 percent, or 202 students.
Four Regents institutions suffered losses in enrollment — Fort Hays State University, Pittsburg State University, KU Med Center and Kansas State University Veterinary Medical Center.
KU Med Center lost 61 students, a 2.5 percent decrease.

There was a total increase of 1.1 percent, 836 students.

at all Regents institutions. Kim Wilcox, executive director of the Board of Regents, said the numbers were encouraging and were a reflection of the value that the state puts on higher education.
The fall enrollment counts matter more, though. Cohen said.
"I don't pay much attention to the spring numbers," he said.
Indigenous rights activist to speak tonight
Bv Kursten Phelos
wmter@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
Students will get a chance to hear from a Nobel Peace Prize winner when Guatemalan indigenous rights activist Rigoberta Menchu visits the University tonight and Haskell Indian Nations University tomorrow.
Menchú is in the area today to visit Leonard Peltier, a native-American prisoner at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary, said Gina Chiala, co-coordinator of the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee.
writer@kansan.com
Amnesty International will sponsor her presentation tonight at 7 at 3139
Wesco Hall, Menchú also will speak at Haskell Auditorium at 2 p.m. tomorrow, with a pottuck reception afterwards at Stidham Hall on the Haskell campus. All events are free.
"I think it's great that she's coming to visit Leonard," Chiaila said. "She's a Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and a symbol of the struggle for indigenous rights all over the world."
Menchü, the first indigenous Nobel Prize Laureate, won the award in 1992 for her biography, I, *Rigoberta Menchü*, which recounted the oppression of indigenous people in Guatemala.
Although she was criticized for reported inaccuracies in her book,
Menchu has continued working as an activist. She is the U.N. Goodwill Ambassador for the International Decade of Indigenous Peoples and started the Rigoberta Menchú Tum Foundation, which promotes indigenous rights, peace and justice.
Chila said Menchii decided to come to the U.S. to visit Peltier after he was named an official Human Rights Defender during the Paris celebration of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights. Peltier is serving two consecutive life sentences for murder stemming from a 1975 shootout at the Pine Ridge, N.D., reservation in which two FBI agents and one Native American were killed.
The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee, which considers Peltier a political prisoner and lobbies for his release, coordinated the visit and paid Menchu's expenses. Student Senate also gave the University chapter of Amnesty International $1,500 for tonight's presentation.
"Normally, a speech like this would cost about $10,000, but she's basically doing it for free because of her support for Pelitzer's cause," said Kyle Browning, Amnesty International president.
Browning said he was glad that Menchu was visiting both the University and Haskell.
"I think it will help bring the schools together," he said.

Master of Polka now paid to clown around

I got a letter the other day from a fellow who dropped out of school last semester to join the circus. He was the host
of a KJHK show that aired for a couple of years. The program — kinetic, frenetic and dramatically irrelevant — had a substantial and devoted following of area listeners.
"was the "Polka Show."
It was the "Polka Show." Its master was David Hennessy. He loved Polka. He knew Polka. He had boxes and boxes of Polka on vinyl.
He abandoned them all for the circus. It was God's calling, he said.
On his show, sometimes he would play the whole song for you. Often he would stop the music and
sing it for you instead. He would halt the record to tell a story about Polka, but then he purposely would speak in spoken English.
His on-air performances flew at warp speed. I have a friend
who was the host of the show that aired after Hennessy's "Polka Show." He told me.
Hennessy would play a disc, dlib into the microphone and shovel drv
cake mix into his mouth with a finger, Friends of Hennessy have told me that he carried a can of black beans around with him, in case he needed the energy.
Polka and Hennessy were like sausage and kraut, a perfect match. That's why it
was sad to hear his show go silent. His answering machine in Lawrence, when I called to interview him said, "If you're looking for Dave, he's gone to the circus."
Now the other Barnum and Bailey clowns call him "Henny."
PETER HALLINGTON
The circus first stationed him in St. Petersburg, Fla. where his
Ban Curry columnistoni昂和吉anasan.com
clown unit weathered the winter. Hennessy was set to work repairing the trapeze act gear. He also began to learn tumbling and makeup skills from the other clowns.
Many of the clowns Hennessy lives with are from Europe. Hennessy speaks Polish with several of them, and they swap Polka tapes.
I've included here portions of Hennessy's letter in which he describes what being a clown is like. At the beginning of January, the circus train began rolling down the tracks on its new tour. Hennessy got his first taste of the profession.
"I live in a very comfortable room ... in which there are enough cabinets and shelf space to keep everything I brought with me (most of my Polka records are in storage with my futon in Missouri). I have a sink and a refrigerator in my room and there is a common kitchen with a range and microwave. This is the clown car so there is a nice community feeling among the clowns living here."
His family wasn't too thrilled about his vocation, Hennessy said.
But when I called his grandmother in the Bronx, she sounded delighted
"He was always jumping around," she said. "He said when he was very little that he wanted to be a clown, but I never believed him."
Hennessy says he spends Mondays and Tuesdays traveling to new towns. The next five nights he pops out of the clown car in an Elvis costume, rides the clown float and draws attention to the giant cannon that will fire one of his coworkers through the air.
Hennessy writes: "As we usually finish our shows around 9:30-10 p.m., the circus is something of a nocturnal life.

style. Most people come home after the show and cook dinner. I will take a shower at night, because I'm sweaty after the show, and I am to go right.
the show, and I try to go right to bed because I'd rather eat a big breakfast early than a big meal before bed. When I sleep, I'm usually so tired that I don't hear much of anything except the other clowns cooking or an occasional train passing by.
"Sometimes our train yards are by themselves or sometimes they are with live trucks near by. Either way, they are usually in the old, industrial part of the city. Like the circuit people say, our train is 'a town without a zip code' and
we 'see America through its backdoor.'"
Hennessy and another first-year clown are charged with the onerous task of cleaning and preparing a "soap mat" used in one of the clown stunts. The mat is as big as a circus ring, Hennessy said. Sometimes the work isn't as rewarding as Hennessy supposed it would be. He writes: "In the preshow, the main challenge is not to fall into the 'autograph/picture' mode. It is easy and comfortable, but not really clowning. I want to do more bits for laughter. But it is hard when there is a program in one hand and a pen in your left. The irony is, though, that people want the auto-

what they want!
"Despite these challenges, I love the job immensely.
It is great to get in the
morning and know that your goal for the day is to evoke laughs!"

Maxwell's financial aid proposal contradictory, unfair to students
Facing higher tuition next year, many students gladly would welcome more financial aid from the state. Student Body President Korb Makwell's proposal for increasing financial aid, though, is not only unrealistic and unlikely, it also could do more harm than good.
This sounds great in theory. But the problem is that the tuition increase was implemented because Board of Regents schools were facing budget cuts. If the budgets were crunched so
Maxwell is urging the Legislature to allocate the $3.6 million in revenues from the tuition hike to financial aid awards granted by the state, by which students could choose whichever state school they wanted to attend.
Tuition increases should mend higher education budget crunch, not be recycled in form of aid
much that a tuition hike was needed, how could it possibly be fiscally responsible to turn around and give that money to students in the form of financial aid? It seems a bit ridiculous to raise students' costs to give them money back.
The idea of directing money to students in the form of aid is a great idea, but not if the new money was generated to make up for across-the-board spending cuts. In fact, Maxwell's proposal might even be damaging because it would take needed funds away from the University of Kansas and put them into the hands of students at other schools.
Providing Kansas students access to higher education is a worthy goal, but access means nothing if the quality of education declines because of a lack of funds.
Maxwell's proposal is entirely appropriate, but only when Kansas higher education is not experiencing the acute financial pains it is now. Giving more students an opportunity to go to college is a good thing, but let's save this idea for the time when schools do not have to charge students more to give them more.

StudEx chairman should resign post
As Student Senate elections approach, the stage already is set for controversy within the campaign structure itself.
Despite an obvious conflict of interest, Marlon Marshall, a declared candidate for student body vice president for the United Students coalition, has said he will not resign as chairman of the Student Executive Committee. When asked earlier this week if he intended to resign, he said, "No. I will not."
This presents a problem. As StudEx chairman, Marshall already has appointed the members of the elections commission. This creates the possibility for an ethical and political dilemma in the future.
If a complaint is filed with the elections
Marlon Marshall's candidacy for student body vice president presents a conflict of interest
commission during campaign season against a candidate or coalition, the commission is charge with investigating the alleged violation. Marshall's appointees may be hesitant to punish him.
In any case, it's too late to undo the damage that already has been done. Members of the elections commission were chosen last fall, before Marshall's official declaration of his candidacy. If Marshall had even considered running
for student body vice president, he should have resigned before appointing them. Now, they cannot be removed.
Furthermore, as partisan debate heats up in Senate during campaign season, the StudEx chairperson is often called upon to mediate in a neutral capacity. It is hard to believe that Marshall will be able to be objective this spring.
The only possible solution is Marshall's resignation before the campaign season officially begins. Such a move would not only bolster the integrity of his campaign, but also that of his coalition.
Marshall's decision to retain his position as StudEx chairman only harms the integrity of his campaign.

I had read the headlines and articles about the retirement of Charles Schulz, creator of Charlie Brown and the Peanuts comic strips, for weeks. The news seemed to have no impact on me. I felt indifferent.
That's why it surprised me last Sunday when I felt a slight pang while reading his final farewell strip in the newspaper — and that pang became a bang an hour later when I saw on the news that Schulz had died earlier that morning of colon cancer.
I looked at that morning's comic strip again. It seemed to contain an even deeper, more sincere meaning. It was a letter to his fans and readers addressed, "Dear Friends," thanking them for their support and
explaining his decision to retire. He had signed his name and 2-13-00, a date that will be remembered as the incredibly coincidental death of both the comic and the cartoonist.
An Internet link on the official Peanuts Web site that allowed fans to send a card to Schultz via e-mail was replaced with news of his death early Sunday afternoon.
After seeing these things, memories of childhood Peanuts and Charlie Brown experiences came surging back. The characters must have made some impact on my family — my 31-year-old brother has a three-inch, colored Snoopy tattoo on his left forearm, and his home in Des Moines, Iowa, is filled with Joe Cool memorabilia.
My parents' house is filled with reminders of Peanuts play of years past. An old green blanket with the baseball-playing beagle across it still sits in the basement closet, full of holes and rips. Like Linus, my sisters and I relied on the blanket for both familiarity and fun. Sometimes it was a cape or a tent. The yellow plush Woodstock toy is stored away in the house somewhere, too. I still remember dragging it along with me through mud puddles during outdoor adventures. And then there was
the snoopy Snow Cone Machine I had when I was 8 — along with every other kid on the block. The contrapaction was all the rage, but I never could endure the torment of awkwardly cranking the plastic红 handle to crush enough ice cubes to make a full-sized cherry snow cone.
Like many of my friends, I grew up watching the Charlie Brown Halloween television special with the Great Pumpkin, as well as the Christmas show with the pathetic, scrawny tree that Charlie Brown loved. I watched with glee as Snoopy took on the personalities of a novelist, Flash Beagle and an adventurous World War I Flying Ace.
So many others in my generation have similar childhood memories of the comic strip and its characters. But the sadness that surrounds the death of Schulz and the end of his creation proves that our generation was not the first to love the Peanuts gang. My mom grew up reading the comic strip — its appearance in the morning newspaper was a constant she depended on when her Air Force family frequently moved to new places. She collected Woodstock pins as a high school student in the late 1960s. She welcomed the introduction of new characters, especially Rerun, who debuted in 1973.
I didn't read the comic strip on a faithful, daily basis. And there were times that I skipped past it because it contained yet another struggle between Charlie Brown and his kite. When I did read it, it rarely made me laugh out loud as some of my other favorite comic strips had the tendency to do.
But Peanuts' impact could not be measured with a single day's installment. Its characters presented real life with a twist of humor and heart that people, including me, could relate to. People didn't always take Schroeder's pianolaying talent seriously. Snoopy couldn't always write well on his first — or second — attempt. Linus needed his security blanket. Pig Pen was a mess but just wanted to be accepted. And most importantly, Charlie Brown showed us that you can fall at many things, act like a blockhead and still manage to earn a world of fans.

Forget Rocker; fight bigger problems
I would like to comment on the Feb. 16 *Kansan* cartoon in which Atlanta pitcher John Rocker is depicted as a member or supporter of the Ku Klux Klan. I feel it is time that the popular media stopped kicking the dead horse that is Rocker's life as a "sports hero." Rocker is an immature, naive and downright dumb young man.
However, he is not some kind of arch-villain of prejudice.
By continuing to attack Rocker, we as a society take our eyes off of much more pressing matters. Every day people of various minorities live in a climate of prejudice that hinders their pursuits of happiness. By picking one politically vulnerable scapegoat for this matter, we dodge having to do any real work to change the situation.
We live in a country in which, only a year ago, one man was dragged to death behind a truck because he was African American and another man was pistolwhipped to death because he was queer. Certainly this is a sign that, if we wish to end prejudice, we have much greater hills to climb than overcoming one man's idiocy.

Senate rejects spending limits
By Erinn R. Barcomb

writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Candidates for Student Senate won't have to watch their pocketbooks as closely this election season.
Senate voted Wednesday not to enforce spending limits and decided that the University of Kansas can only impose them in well-justified circumstances, backing up a decision last year by the University Judicial Board.
Dede Seibel, student body vice president, said the change was not drastic but that it made Senate's rules and regulations reflect the board's ruling
Michael Henry, Student Legislative Awareness Board campus director, said spending limits were seen by some as a restriction of free speech.
Changes to the 2000 elections code, which is available from the elections commission today, included imposing only voluntary spending limits. Only candidates who choose to adhere to spending limits would be
subject to reprimand if they over-spent.
Seibel said that Senate rules took priority over the elections code. She said Senate wanted to design a rule against spending limits in case a future elections commission favored them.
put a referendum on the ballot.
A proposed change to Senate rules, which failed Wednesday, would have tightened the requirements needed to
"You could anything on referenda," said Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator. "In 1951, there was a reference to
change the alma mater."
Students are now required to gather 1,000 student signatures or signatures from 5 percent of the 20th-day head count of student enrollment, whichever is fewer. The proposal would have required 7.5 percent of the count.
"The only check we saw was to
make more signatures [required] to draw the more serious referenda," Mazudar said.
Mazudar said the 4,500 signatures gathered for the Save the Jaybowl petition were proof that getting a large number of signatures was possible. But Mark Bradshaw, liberal arts and sciences senator, said that gathering signatures was not as easy as it sounded.
"Ive pounded lot of Wescoe Beach pavement getting signatures," Bradshaw said. "I don't want anyone to think it a snake of the fingers."
Senate failed an amendment by Jessica Bankston. Nunemaker senator, that would have loosened the restrictions on campaigning on campus before elections.
Current rules limit active campaigning, promoting and distributing materials at and near tables in areas such as Wescoe Beach and the Kansas Union, to the nine days before elections.
"It limits your free speech," Bankston said.

Dead-like band to play at Bottleneck

Following in the tracks of the Grateful dead can't be easy, but the Dark Star Orchestra is trying hard. Dark Star performs at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow at The *Harkness* 727 New Hampshire St.

"They really sound like the Dead, so there's quite a buzz around the Deadhead community," said Ed Stevenson, the band's Web master and publicist.
Stevenson said the band recreated past Grateful Dead shows song by song by using the original set list and supplementing it with the its own improvisation.
He said the Chicago-based band had a local following that traveled to all of its regional shows. He also said some fans were dedicated enough to fly across country to go to concerts when Dark Star hit the road.
"Essentially, they are sonic encyclopedias of the Grateful Dead's history, replicating the sound of the band while retaining the improvisational nature of the original show," he said.
The band is composed of John Kadleck on lead guitar and vocals, Dino English on drums, Scott Larned on keyboards and vocals, Rob Koritz on drums, Chopper on rhythm guitar and vocals, Lisa Mackey on vocals and Michael Hazdra on bass guitar and vocals. Cameron Blitzer is the house sound man.
Debbie Kay, a fan from Chicago, said that the band didn't play the Dead's songs note for note but that it tried to stay true to the equipment that was used then.
The Dark Star Orchestra will perform at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Lawrence will be the Chicago-based band's third stop on its three-month, nationwide tour. Contributed photo
*****
In Chicago, the band plays at a bar on Tuesdays, and the show regularly attracts 400 to 500 people, she said.
Stevenson said that Kadlecik's voice had an uncanny resemblance to Jerry Garcia's and that it often shocked concert-goers.
Dark Star is on its third stop of a three-month, nationwide tour.
Tickets cost $10 in advance and $12 at the door. It is an 18-and-older show.

WILLIAM S.
BURROUGHS
BY CLAY McCUISTION
REFLECTIONS OF A LAWRENCE LEGEND
"I HAD THE FEELING THAT SOME HORRIBLE IMAGE WAS JUST BEYOND THE FIELD OF VISION, MOVING, AS I TURNED MY HEAD, SO THAT I NEVER QUITE SAW IT...THE PHYSICAL IMPACT OF THE FEAR OF DEATH; THE SHUTTING OFF OF BREATH; THE STOPPING OF BLOOD."
WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS (WRITING AS WILLIAM LEE), JUNKIE (1953)
Fast Words, a collection of writing from the final year of author William S. Burroughs' life, is more compelling for its context than its content.
Best known for the surrealistic Naked Lunch, (1959), Burroughs covers familiar themes — the insanity of U.S. drug laws, the sick, numbness of addiction, fantastic dreams and science-fiction abstraction of his surroundings. But the circumstances of these 1996-97 writings lend them great poignancy, and the final few sections in which Burroughs stares down his own death are breathtaking.
This is a highly personal document, important because it charts the course of a unique writer in the final nine months of his life. Stereotyped as a hard-nosed, rooin-addicted cynic, Burroughs found his redemption in love. Living in Lawrence, far from his former haunts in New York and Paris, he basked in the affection of friends, devotees and the half-dozen stray cats he
took into his home.
He wrote on April 28, 1997: "I found myself knocking myself out to be charming, and how I love it — to see the subject glow in response. It's a great feeling, one that I have only experienced in the last few years."
After a lifetime of scaring people with his harrowing descriptions of addiction and hallucination, Burroughs found pleasure in being nice.
Ironic? Perhaps. But also moving.
James Grauerholz, Burroughs' companion and manager, said the journals were intended for publication from the beginning.
"It wasn't a secret at all," said Grauer-holz, who runs William Burroughs communications in Lawrence. "He would take it out and read from it."
The deaths of friends and fellow iconoclasts Timothy Leary (1996) and Allen Ginsberg (four months before his own) brought the issue of mortality to the forefront for Burroughs. Instead of growing more bitter as he faced the end, Burroughs seems to have found a new degree of peace and contentment.
"In my experience, that's a common thing," Grauerholz said. "In many cases, people who know they are getting older do have a more balanced view."
A constant in the journals is Burroughs' passion for guns. The author was a firearms enthusiast for most of his life, and he mentions his regular target-shooting visits to Fred Aldrich's farm northwest of Lawrence.
Geography professor and fellow gun fan Robert McColl pops up in Burroughs' July 8, 1997, entry. McColl had helped Burroughs buy and sell firearms since meeting the author in a Lawrence gun store in the early '60s.
"We had a good and distant relationship," McColl said. "He felt like he could trust me and talk about these things."
Although McColl said he admired Burroughs' work, he didn't discuss literature or philosophy with the author.
"I was in a separate column of interest and activity." McColl said.
KU student Devin Zell, New Strawn senior, got the chance to shoot with Burroughs in late July of 1997, about two
weeks before the author died. He said that Burroughs' mind had been active, despite difficulties moving.
"He was actually a really nice guy," Zell said. "It was kind of neat knowing there was such a famous author around who was an active part of the town."
The news of the Burroughs' death on Aug. 2 surprised Zell.
"I was kind of shocked," he said. "I felt very fortunate to meet him when I did."
Lawrence resident Ryan McCabe met Burrughs and Grauerholz at a Massachusetts Street bookstore in 1995. McCabe said the author had been friendly and had signed one of his books.
"If you weren't a drooling-idiot fan he'd be into you," McCabe said. "It was pretty much like an Elvis-sighting kind of thing."
Like a latter-day Elvis, the journals show the 83-year-old Burroughs living totally on his own terms. He delighted in trashy paperback thrillers, perused newage holistic-healing guides and found the time to guest star in a U2 video.
The book is frustrating, rewarding, funny, sad, incoherent and razor-sharp all at once. Much like the rest of Burroughs' output, it wanders between diary entries, fiction, poetry and quotations within the space of a few tersely-worded sentences. But as his final work, the transitions seem quicker, the satire sharper and the time more compressed. Burroughs still had to write — and he knew time was short.
Last Words isn't the easiest book to read, or the most essential of Burroughs' work. But if the reader cares at all about the author, the writers of his generation or Lawrence, it's fittily rewarding.
Grauerholz said that reading through the journals had been a moving experience.
"I could imagine my friend there," he said. "And I was proud of him."
"LOVE? WHAT IS IT? MOST NATURAL PAINKILLER WHAT THERE IS. LOVE."

Femi Kuti
Shoki Shoki
Buy it
Femi Kuti's new release Shoki Shoki is powerful proof that he is the king of Afro-heat
perma North
Through the vast array of polyrhythmic beats, brass and funky guitars comes the voice of a man who is definitely his father's son. To understand his musical efforts, one needs to understand his origins.
Femi's father, Fela Kuti, stands as the pioneer of this rousing music called Afro-beat, which fueled his life as a Nigerian civil-rights revolutionary. As his mother worked as an activist for the rights of Africans under colonial rule in Nigeria, Fela gained a greater understanding of his own social activism and his music became a voice for a majority of Africans in his condemnation of oppressive governments and racism.
Some critics argue that Femi's music has not continued his father's struggle as well as they would have wished, but a closer listen to his new brand of Afro-
beat could easily prove them wrong.
Musically, there are no holes whatsoever in Shoki Shoki; magnificent, layered percussion, wah-wah guitars and powerful brass accompaniment abound. King Kuti is a classically-trained saxophonist, and in "Victim of Life" he shines.
Femi draws upon past and present to create lyrics and music that ask listeners to reflect on life, what it's offering them and if it should be offering more. In some tracks, such as "What Will Tomorrow Bring" and "Look Around," there is a call for basic reflection.
"Blackman Know Yourself" is evidence of Fela's legacy in that Femi expounds on the link between African-American peoples internationally and the need for a deeper understanding of the power of African ancestry.
One of the true gems on this album is the remix of this track done by hiphop's best, The Roots. The very collaboration between hip-hop and Afro-beat is a testament to the weight of music as an instrument to unite those with a common cause, and as a tool to shake up those unwilling to listen.

Supreme Beings of Leisure
Supreme Beings of Leisure
Buy it used
The debut album by Supreme Beings
of Leisure, to be released Tuesday,
shows a great deal of promise.
The Beings, each one bringing their own ethnic flavor to the process, have succeeded in forming a laid-back, funky groove that is accessible and easy to listen to. The blend of calculated electronic rhythms, real strings, and the occasional sitar make the tracks organic enough to keep them interesting.
What truly makes their seductive sound come together is the voice of Geri Soriano-Lightwood. Her vocals are reminiscent of a James Bond seductress when she asks "Don't you want me if I'm the last girl on earth, there's nothing out there..." It's all a part of a very organized album, from the futuristic mod-space cover art to the composition of the songs themselves.
There's a great possibility that their trip-hop formula could make its way into the mainstream, but it won't be because these Supreme Beings have made any crazy revolutions in the industry of music. In spite of the album's musical strengths, what makes me a bit lukewarm toward this album is that I already have heard Massive Attack and Morcheeba. That said, the Supreme Beings still deserve a listen.

Mindless Self Indulgence
Mindless Self Indulgence Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy Burn it
A disclaimer in the liner notes warms listeners to listen to this album with their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks, and this could very well be the understatement of the year.
On Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy, Mindless Self Indulgence breaks social norms and lays down techno punk that, for the most part, satisfies.
There are a few problems though, such as lead vocalist Little Jimmy Urine. While the sound may not be new to anyone's ears, the band could find somebody that doesn't sound like he graduated with top honors at the Marilyn Manson wannabe academy.
It's been done.
Of course, the standard punk-rock time limit of under 3 minutes for each song is strictly enforced, which makes for some interesting songs. Check out "Blackmask," "Clarissa," "Faggot." "Harry Truman" and "I Hate Jimmy Page" (just for the title).
At times, the songwriting is extremely clever, like in the song "Clarissa," a tribute to the classic Nickelodeon show Clarissa Explains It
Feel free to skip past "Cocaine and Toupees," "Futures" and "Planet of the Apes," which is sad because anything associated with Roddy McDowell should be of the utmost quality, and this track is sub-par at best.
All, or "Ready for Love," wherein Little Jimmy Urine sings about the money and love problems of a lonely teenager. And who can't relate to that?
Another great song worth skipping to the end of the CD for is "Seven-Eleven," a fun romp through the life of a clerk who has to stay up all night (but it's doubtful the song was inspired by Kevin Smith).
There are some great tracks on Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy, and then there are songs like "Planet of the Apes," which has nothing to do with Planet of the Apes, nor does it have anything to do with decent songwriting. What could have been an excellent opportunity to mock the classic film series turns into a boring and repetitive song, kind of like the theme to that old NBC sitcom The Single Guy. It's as if some guy in the studio heard the first 30 seconds of the song and said "Hey, that sounds good, let's loop it." Yawn.
Mindless Self Indulgence has put together a fun album, but too many hit and miss tracks make Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy worth adding to your collection if you're a reviewer who gets free CDs, or you happen to stumble upon a very cheap copy in a used CD store.

Last year, the Kansas women's basketball team lost its final regular season game to Kansas State, 69-58. The defeat was not only a huge disappointment for Reves and her teammates, but it partially led to the team's No. 9 seed in the NCAA tournament. That seeding matched the 'Hawks against No. 1 seed and eventual national champion Purdue in the second round.
For Brooke Reves, the Jayhawks' philosophy is simple — play every game like there's no tomorrow.
Reves, a junior forward, doesn't want another lewdown when the 'Hawks face the Wildcats at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Allen Fieldhouse.
"We can't let that happen," she said. "We've worked too hard as a team."
Earlier this season, Kansas beat K-State 70-54 in Manhattan.
After tomorrow's game, Kansas hits the road for games against Missouri, which recently beat No. 12 Texas Tech, and league-leading Oklahoma. The Jayhawks, at 9-3 in the Big 12 Conference, are tied with Iowa State and Texas Tech for second place and need
every victory to keep their league title hopes alive.
But if the Jayhawks continue to play like they did Wednesday night against No. 10 Iowa State, that shouldn't be a problem.
"I think that playing in front of a tough crowd and being able to handle the runs they made against us will help us down the stretch," said senior guard Suzi Raymant, who hit four-of-seven threees in Kansas' 79-71 victory against the Cyclones.
Another thing the Jayhawks should copy from that victory

Baseball team is riddled with injuries
By Amanda Kaschube
Three of coach Bobby Randall's outfielders are injured, and one player did not return to the diamond.
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball team will try to avoid getting mauled tomorrow when it faces the Southwest Missouri State Bears — it cannot afford to lose anymore players.
Senior Brett Kappelmann sprained his ankle during Tuesday's win against Rockhurst. He is questionable for this weekend. Sophomore Matt Van Alsburg recently underwent surgery for a hernia and will be out for a few months, and sophomore Jason Appuhn
is scheduled to have surgery to remove a calcium deposit on his rib cage — he will be out for a few weeks. Furthermore, sophomore Harrison Hill opted to stick with football instead of being a two-sport athlete.
"We're getting down to the nity-gritty in our outfield," Randall said. "We're going to have a lot of freshmen in there this weekend. Are they ready for the task? I don't know, but they'll get a taste of good baseball."
After the Jayhawks 20-6 shellacking of Rockhurst, the team had three days to tune up its skills, both on the mound and at the plate.
"Our pitchers have been going at it prettier hard." Randall said. "We want
our pitchers to get us into the sixth and seventh inning — we need depth."
Junior Pete Smart, 1-0, and sophomore Jeff Davis, 1-0, will try to keep the Jayhawks in the game this weekend. A third starter has not been selected. Davis, who went six and twothirds innings in Kansas' 12-3 win against UT-San Antonio last weekend, said he was pumped for his next outing on the mound.
The Kansas offense has been a key factor in the team's wins, scoring a season-high 20 hits against Rockhurst. But Randall said he still was looking
"4-0 gives us a lot of confidence, and that is a huge part about being successful," he said.
for improvement.
"We're not hitting that well—we're hitting to get results, not for execution." Randall said. "A lot of the younger players are still in the high school mode. They aren't there yet, but they can do it."
Kansas, 4-0, will have to play hard if it wants to win this weekend — Southwest Missouri State, 0-0, leads the series, 15-11, and is looking for its first win of the season.
The battle will begin at 1 p.m. tomorrow and will continue with a doubleheader on Sunday at 11 a.m.

"They're a scrapy ball club historically," Randall said. "It's the right time for a test. We're going to have to fight pretty hard if we want to come out of there with some W's."
Role models aren't always male athletes
I reluctantly took my seat at the Kansas women's basketball home game last Thursday. I had a great view and was eager to watch the Jayhawks play the Texas Longhorns — but I was sitting in front of a group of hyper, screechy-voiced preteens.
As soon as the Kansas starting lineup was announced, the girls were on their feet, squealing with excitement. They commented loudly on the players — the way their hair was fixed, their height, their enthusiasm for the game.
Minutes later, they yelled at the tops of their lungs when Kansas guard Suzi Raymant made the first basket of the game. "You go girl! That's the way it's done!" one screamed.
Between Raymant's first basket and her three-pointer at the last second of the game, the young fans retained their energy. They sang along with the fight songs. They mimicked the Crimson Girls' and band members' choreography. They cheered the 'Hawks all the way through to their 64-52 victory.
Sometime during the girls' devoted shouts and exclamations, I scanned the crowd and smiled to myself as similar groups of little girls and preteens did the same things.
A cluster of 20 or so sitting in the southwest corner of the stands fixed each other's hair with crimson and blue pompons and yelled through paperboard megaphones.
On the west side of the court, a dozen girls wearing black T-shirts with bright basketballs on their right shoulders chanted cheers. Ten girls wearing Bonner Springs basketball sweatshirts stood and clapped in the southeast corner of the Fieldhouse.
The hollers following every Jayhawk basket had a distinctively high pitch, attributed to the hundreds of little girls in the crowd of 3.310.
But these girls weren't enjoying the

Kansas swimmers struggle in Big 12 Championships
By Brandon Krisztal

The Kansas women's swimming and diving team wanted to make a splash on day one of the Big 12 Conference Championships in College Station, Texas.
"It was a real roller coaster ride for us today," he said. "We certainly had some performances that stood out, but it seems we depend on the same people every time. That's something we want to correct. Our relays were sub-par today, but in all it was a solid first day."
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, that splash was not as big as they'd hoped. Kansas' 156 points put the team in fourth place, behind three nationally ranked teams. Texas, ranked 13th, No. 22 Texas A&M and 16th-ranked Nebraska held down the top three spots with 280, 209 and 166 points, respectively.
But Kansas coach Gary Kempf was pleased with his team's performance overall.
After strong performances in the preliminary round, the Jayhawks were unable to pull out any top-three finishes in the finals. There were six events held yesterday, eight today and there will be seven tomorrow, which includes preliminaries and finals.
for the NCAA Championships March 16-18 in Indianapolis because of their preliminary times. Schryer's 4.52.11 in the 500-meter freestyle in heat three was the fastest in her heat and fifth-fastest time in school history. DeVaney's 4.51.68 in heat four broke Schryer's mark. Schryer finished fifth and again set the fifth-fastest mark in school history posting a 4.51.94. DeVaney finished sixth in the finals.
Freshmen Lyndsay DeVaney and Beth Schryer each qualified
Freshman Gwen Haley also provisionally qualified for the NCAA's with a 2.03.2 in the 200-meter individual medley. Her time ranks third in Kansas history. She already provisionally qualified for the NCAA's in the 400 individual medley on Jan. 22 at College Station.
Senior captain Kerri Pribil did not fare as well in the one-meter diving event as she had hoped. She posted the sixth-best dive in prelim. Pribail could not improve on that, finishing sixth in the finals.
Sophomore Carrie Kirkham finished sixth in the 50-meter freestyle. Her time of 0:23.34 is the second-fastest in school history. The Jayhawk 200-meter freestyle relay team of Kirkham, junior Carolyn Grevers, sophomore Kmir Maite and sophomore Carolyn Horwitz finished fifth.
Haley finished sixth in the finals after putting up the fifthfastest prelim time.
Haley said she knew the 'Hawks had a tough road ahead.
Persistence key to win against Sooners
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com kansas sportsperson
The loss dropped the Jayhawks to 18-7 overall and 7-4 in the Big 12 Conference and left them pondering their fifth loss in their last eight games.
That's about the only philology the Jayhawks can have after suffering through perhaps their most biting defeat of the season. Kansas blew an 11-point second half lead and was upended 64-62 by the No. 14 Iowa State Cyclones Wednesday night in Allen Fieldhouse.
No. 24 Kansas' philosophy right now is simple — don't give up.

KANSAS 21
Oklahoma is 20-4 overall and 8-3 in the conference after a victory at Nebraska Tuesday night. The Sooners are led by Big 12 Player of the Year candidate Eduardo Najera, who tops the team in scoring (19.0) and rebounding (9.6).
Oklahoma also starts three guards — sophomore J.R. Raymond, freshman Hollis Price and junior Nolan Johnson.
"They're going to be tough," said Kansas forward Nick Collison. "They're a big, physical team with good guards on the outside."
Guards were what helped spell doom for the Jayhawks against Iowa State. Kansas led 59-53 with a little over three minutes remaining, but the Jayhawks buckled under the pressure.
Iowa State point guard Jamaal Tinsley came up with two late steals, and off-guard Michael Nurse came up with three rebounds in the last minute, helping lead the Cyclones to the victory.
"We've never lost like this," said Kansas forward Nick Bradford, who scored 11 points and grabbed five rebounds in the loss. "I can't compare it to any other game this season. We just have to try to get better."
The Jayhawks will have to get better in a hurry if they plan on getting a first-round bye in the Big 12 Conference Tournament next
month. The top four finishers in the conference standings get first round byes, whereas the other eight teams must play the dreaded extra day.
After Wednesday night's loss, the Jayhawks were in sixth place in the Big 12, behind Iowa State (10-1), Oklahoma State (9-2), Texas (9-2), Oklahoma (8-3) and Missouri (8-3).
"I think all we can do is go out and try to win every game that we play," Collison said. "Then, whatever happens, will happen. Hopefully, we'll finish in the top four in the conference and get a bye in the tournament. We'll try to win every game, and if we don't get it done, then we don't get it done."

Rose reinstatement bid may be denied soon
NEW YORK — Pete Rose's lawyer was jolted when commissioner Bud Selig made clear this week he was unlikely to reinstate baseball's career hit leader.
---
Rose: Agreed to a lifetime ban in August 1989
"We were very surprised and disappointed," S. Gary Spicer said yesterday, a day after Selig made his remarks on Rose to a group in Madison, Wis. "We do not have any idea why Bud Selig would issue this quote when we are adhering to the
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should only be read for entertainment purposes.
timeframe that was agreed upon at our meeting with Bob DuPuY.
女
Rose, who agreed to a lifetime ban in August 1989 following an investigation of his gambling, applied for reinstatement in September 1997, but Selig has not officially ruled on it.
DuPuy, Selig's top lawyer, met Jan. 27 with Spicer and Roger Makley, another Rose lawyer, and gave them 30 days to submit additional information.
"We have not been advised by anyone that we should not submit the materials," said Spicer, who intends to mail it next week. "We would expect a fairly quick response. I mean, the matter has been going on for 10 years."
Baseball officials said that because of pressure from Rose, Selig is likely to rule on the application and reject it.
Benitez, Mets agree
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Armando
Benitez woke up to a pleasant surprise yesterday; His agent and the New York Mets agreed to a $22 million, four-year contract.
instead of going through with an arbitration hearing in Tampa, agent Mike Powers and general manager Steve Phillips culminated weeks of talks.
Benitez, who made $2,037,500 last year, gets a $750,000 signing bonus payable over three years, $3.25 million this season,
$5,625,000 in each of the following two years and $6.75 million in 2003.
M
Benitez, a 27-year-old right-hander,
was 4-3 with 1.85 ERA and 22 saves
in 77 games for the Mets last year.
The committee also approved a rule prohibiting the offense, while making substitutions or simulated substitions, from rushing quickly to the line of scrimmage and snapping the ball before the defense can make necessary adjustments.
INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA has adopted football rule changes for the 2000 season designed to protect defensive players from potentially harmful blocks and prevent offenses from gaining an advantage with quick substitutions.

including the neutral zone and 10 vards beyond.
Previously, offensive players positioned more than seven yards in any direction from the middle offensive lineman at the snap, or in motion toward the ball at the snap, were prohibited from blocking below the waist toward the original position of the ball behind or within five yards beyond the neutral zone.
The first infraction will carry a 5- yard penalty. After that, each infraction will be penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The committee also eliminated the penalty for an illegal fair-catch signal. Now, the ball becomes dead on possession.
New rules, penalties will begin next season
The Football Rules Committee expanded the definition of an illegal block to include any high-low block by two offensive players when the initial contact clearly occurs beyond the neutral zone. Previously, such a block could have been considered legal if the contacts were simultaneous. Another rule change involved the enclosed block block.
Now, the ban, which carries a 15-yard penalty, applies to offensive players in motion in any direction,
Woods fails on course earns high TV ratings
GOLF
NEW YORK — Tiger Woods' failed attempt to win his seventh straight PGA Tour event got higher ratings than any U.S. Open or British Open in the last 15 years.
Final-real coverage of the Buick Invitational on Sunday received an 8.0 rating and 1.8 share, Nielsen Media Research said yesterday, topping the NBA All Star game (6.9/12) on NBC later Sunday night. It was the highest rating for golf other than the PGA Championship and the Masters since the final round of the Bob Hope Classic received an 8.3 in 1985.

Woods: Propelled high ratings in Buck Invitational
The rating was up 27 percent from last year, which got a 6.3/15 as Woods won. Saturday's rating of 4.0/10 was up 38 percent from last
year's third round, which received a 2.9/8.
The rating is the percentage of TV households in the United States tuned to a program, and each point represents 1,008,000 homes. The share is the percentage watching a broadcast among those TVs on at the time.
OLYMPICS IOC official dissatisfied with sponsor relations
SYDNEY, Australia — As Sydney Olympic organizers made another round of budget cuts, a top International Olympic Committee official criticized them yesterday for having a dysfunctional relationship with sponsors.
The Sydney organizers trimmed another $22.8 million from the budget and dropped UPS, a major sponsor, as the Olympic ticket distributor in Australia.
Dick Pound, an IOC vice president who negotiates its key TV and marketing deals, accused Sydney organizers of bad-mouthing the most successful marketing program in Olympic history.
"Is there anything about the word 'success' you don't understand?" Pound said. "You can't undermine your private sector and sponsors like this."
Sydney's original projection for local sponsorship was $207 million, but organizers have raised $460 million. Pound chided organizers for treating sponsorship dollars as a "milk cow that could be returned to again, again and again."
Pound said local sponsorships had generated more than $300 million. The budget for the Olympics, which open Sept. 15, is $1.6 billion.

game just because it was something to do on a school night — it was obvious that many knew the Kansas players' names and were familiar with the game.
Kaitlin Chipman, one of the many 10-year-olds who attended the game with the Olathe Parks and Recreation 10 & Under girls basketball team, was wide-eyed when she told me that Kansas forward Lynn Pride was her favorite player. Her teammates and friends surrounding her in the bleachers during half-time smiled at me with gapped-tooth smiles and nodded their heads enthusiastically when

I left them to immerse themselves in the second half and to watch a Kansas roster full of players they aspired to be like someday.
Kansas guard Jennifer Jackson laughed when asked if she ever noticed the young female entourage screaming shrilly and supporting the team.
"It's nice to see so many little girls who look up to you," she said.
"The fact that these girls get to see games like this is a good step to the development of the game."
Jackson said that she did not always notice the girls while she
played but that she appreciated the crowd of them waiting for autographs as she and her teammates left the locker room afterwards.
This Saturday, I will watch the team take on Kansas State University. Unlike last week, I will not be reluctant if my seat is directly in front of a bunch of wild young women. Instead, I will be eager to watch their silly antics as they interact with the game.
And I will be glad that so many girls can find role models at Allen Fieldhouse.

'Hawks prepare for Big 12
Track team to hold informal invitational
By Sarah Warren
By Sarah Warren
sports@kansas.com
Kansan sportswriter
It's a dress-down day for the Kansas track and field team.
The Pre-Conference Invitational, a sort of casual dress rehearsal for next week's Big 12 Indoor Championships, will be at 5 today at Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
"This week will be very informal." coach Gary Schwartz said. "If you want to call it a tune-up or a maintenance thing, you can."
So informal, in fact, teams have forscribed to R.S.V.P.
"At this point, I'm not sure who's
showing up." Schwartz said.
Emporia State, Pittsburg State, Fort Hays State, Kansas State, Wichita State and the University of Missouri-Kansas City were expected at the invitational until one team jumped ship to have a little party of its own.
"We had the same meet last year, but K-State is holding a meet this same weekend," junior Charlie Gruber said. "So I don't know how [competitive] this meet will be."
As of yesterday, the attendees for the invitational were Emporia State, UMKC, Cloud County Community College and Missouri. The University of Tulsa also is sending athletes to the event, although they will compete unattached.
The party-poopers could have been turned off by the Jayhawks' strong showing at last weekend's
'Husker Invitational.
In Lincoln, juniors Andrea Branson, women's pole vault, and Charlie Gruber, men's mile, captured first-place finishes in their respective events, with Branson tying the Bob DeVaney Sports Complex record held by current Kansas assistant coach Candace Mason. Junior Jabari Wamble finished second in the 400-meter dash.
Sophomore Ryan Speers, who placed seventh in shot put in Nebraska, said Kansas' recent performances were all the more reason tonight's meet could turn into a three-hour bash at the visiting teams' expense.
"I think for a while people didn't care because we weren't good enough, and now that we're having some success, they're starting to train hard," Speers said.
Women golfers to take on Indiana
By Michael Terry
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
When Kansas women's golf coach Nicole Hollingsworth reaches the first hole at this weekend's match against Indiana University in Tampa, Fla., she'll see a familiar face — her former coach.
Hollingsworth played for Sam Carmichael, women's golf coach for the Indiana Hoosiers, from 1992-95, helping them win two Big 10 championships and earn four automatic berths into the NCAA golf finals.
This is Hollingsworth's first year coaching at Kansas, and she, as well as the team, is looking forward to the challenge of facing off against the Hoosiers.
"Indiana is one of the top programs in the county, and it's going
to be really fun because I think we have a shot to beat them," Hollingsworth said. "Considering the conditions we've been practicing in over the last few weeks, I've been pleased with how our team has progressed."
Of the four and one-half rounds of the golf the Jayhawks have been able to play during the last two weeks, only one and one-half were in good weather, but she said that should not affect the team's performance this weekend.
For one Jayhawk in particular, getting geared up to play this weekend won't be a problem.
"This will be a chance for our team to get out into the warm weather and play some tough competition to help gear us up for the spring schedule," Hollingsworth said.

the chance. We've all worked hard, and now we need to go out and play to our potential and win."
Straub isn't the only Jayhawk excited to get the season started. Ashely Bishop, Franklin, Ind., junior, said that she was ready to face the competition.
"One of our main goals is going to be to get in as much practice as possible."Bishop said.
Bishop said that it would be nice to win this match for the coach.

The Javahwks went 1-4 in their opening weekend, including losses to No.3 Fresno State 10-0 and No.9 Arizona State 9-0. However, they hope the little things, the fundamentals, will help them be successful this weekend as they get ready for the Triangle Classic Tournament in Raleigh, N.C., where they will play Boston, Campbell and Liberty universities.
"I think it [practice] is a lot more intense since our performance last weekend," sophomore Christi Mussel said. "The things we did wrong were basic fundamentals. We know we can play a lot better."
Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said she believed the losses showed her team how it needed to play in the future.
"It woke them up a lot," Bunge said. "They needed to realize they just can't show up. They need to take each opponent seriously and play intensively."
Musser agreed that the losses were a wake-up call.
"We had expectations coming into the tournament," she said. "We can't go into anything thinking we are going to win since we worked hard."
The competition last weekend was the best Kansas will face all season. The Triangle Classic should provide some relief.
Bunge said this weekend the Jayhawks would be playing teams that had the same weather problems
— too little sunshine and not enough warm weather — as Kansas, which allows for a more even playing field.

Men's team has tough test ahead
By Brent Wasko

Kansan Sportswriter
Players to match up with Ivy strongholds Harvard, Columbia
The Kansas men's tennis team has struggled on the road this season, and the competition will not get any easier this weekend.
Kansas will travel all the way to Boston to take on two of the most prestigious tennis schools in the country. Today it will face off with No. 25 Harvard, and Saturday it battles Columbia.
The Jayhawks, 2-4, are off to a 0-3 start on the road this season, but coach Mark Riley said he had a good feeling about his team's upcoming matches.
"I've seen some good things this week in practice," Riley said. "We're making steady improvement. In the last couple of matches, we've been playing a better brand of tennis than we were early on."
Harvard will be a tough test for the Jayhawks—Harvard is to tennis what Kansas is to basketball.
In 1880, a few Crimson students brought the game of tennis from England to the United States. Those same students created the United States Tennis Association. A former Harvard coach also was involved in the formation of the Davis Cup.
KANSAS TENNIS
Riley said Harvard's tradition was a little intimidating.
"Harvard always has had a great tennis tradition," he said. "Their record over time speaks for itself. They are the best team in the Ivy League."
The Crimson looks to continue its winning ways this season. It has won 10 of the last 11 Ivy League titles and qualified for the NCAA tournament in 10 consecutive seasons.
Harvard returns seven letterwinners this year, including No. 1 singles player John Doran. He brings a 69-28 career singles record to the court. He also was a unanimous All-Ivy First Team selection last year, when he compiled an impressive 32-8 record and broke into the national rankings.
Despite Harvard's success,
"They have a really good No. 1 doubles team, and they are a solid all-around team," he said. "We have to cut down on our own errors first before we start worrying about what our opponent has been doing. If we play hard and execute well, we'll be very successful this weekend."
Kansas enters the matches on a high note. After losing four straight matches, it defeated nationally ranked Iowa 4-3 Sunday in Lawrence. Riley said victories against both Harvard and Columbia would really help his team.
"If we win both of our matches, it would put an end to a lot of our team's question marks," he said. "We're going to have to play with poise."

Lewis proclaims innocence
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ray Lewis, speaking publicly yesterday for the first time since he was charged with murder Jan. 31, said he was innocent and expressed sympathy for the two victims' families.
"I am very sorry about the tragedy that occurred in Atlanta," the Baltimore linebacker said at the Ravens' training camp. "My sympathy goes out to the family and the friends of both of the men that died.
The Associated Press
"You've heard it many times before. Now you get to hear it from me: I am innocent," Lewis said.
He returned to Maryland on Wednesday from Atlanta, where he was charged with killing two men after a Super Bowl party earlier that day.
Lewis read a brief statement that was approved by his lawyers and refused to answer any questions.
"I've been ordered by the court that I can't speak about the case, so I won't," Lewis said. "All I can do is sit back and wait for justice to take its course and everything else to take its natural course. But I'm looking forward to the day all the facts come out, everything is out in front and my name is cleared."
Lewis left the building and the complex immediately after speaking and drove straight to his home a few miles away.
Ravens officials said neither Lewis nor any member of the team would talk about the case again.
The bond requires Lewis to stay in Maryland unless he is traveling to Georgia for court appearances or to meet with his lawyers. It doesn't permit him to visit Florida, where his fiancee and two of his children live.
Lewis was released Tuesday from an Atlanta jail on $1 million bail.

Lewis, 24, and two companions are charged in the stabbing deaths of two men during a brawl outside an Atlanta nightclub.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker
Lewis, Joseph Sweeting, 34, of Miami, and Reginald Oakley, 31, of Baltimore, were indicted Feb. 11 in the deaths of Richard Lollar, 24, and Jacinth Baker, 21.
Lewis' lawyers say that he tried to stop the fight and that he was at least 60 feet away when Lollar and Baker were stabbed. Police say Lewis drove away in a limousine and later lied when they tried to determine who was in his entourage.

Chancellor denies discrimination
Hemenway says gender wasn't factor
By Jim O'Malley
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Chancellor Robert Hemenway testified Friday at a federal court in Kansas City, Kan., that his decision to deny tenure to a female assistant professor in 1998 was not based on her gender.
But former assistant professor Cynthia Annett testified that the discrimination took place earlier in the tenure review process, beginning in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology.
She and her husband, Ray Pierotti, associate professor in the same department. have sued both the University and department chairman, Thomas Taylor, alleging violations of federal civil-rights laws. Both the department and Taylor recommended against
tenure for Annett.
Annett and Pierotti have alleged that Taylor recommended denying Annett tenure in retaliation for opposing changes Taylor proposed in the department's graduate program. Annett and Pierotti thought those changes would harm minority and female students.
Annett testified that Taylor retaliated by filing academic misconduct charges against her, saying that she misrepresented in her tenure application some unpublished papers as published.
"I don't believe I had any knowledge of any unlawful employment practices." he said.
Hemenway testified that while he was making his decision, he called Taylor because department heads usually knew candidates best. Although he knew about the academic misconduct charges, Hemenway said he agreed with Provost David Shulenburger's recommendation that the charges should be kept separate from the tenure decision. He said the denial of tenure wasn't retaliation for opposition to discrimination.
D. BARNES
But in question-
tennemay; Said
tenhem was denied
because of a lack
of published research
During cross-examination by Barbara McCloud, assistant general counsel, Annett said she had listed some research papers in the wrong place on her tenure application and had accidentally listed three articles twice in successive annual reviews.
The reason for denying tenure was that Annett had not produced enough published research. Hemenway said.
ing by her attorney, Alan Johnson, Annett said that even without the points for the double-counted articles, her rating on the department's annual reviews was higher than her male colleagues who were granted tenure.
A former colleague, Bob Holt, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, testified that Annett's teaching was very good to excellent and that her service to the University was excellent. Reasonable people could disagree about her research record, he said.
Under the University's "up-or-out" tenure system, denial of tenure meant the end of Annett's employment with the University. Annett testified that if not reinstated, she was seeking damages for lost future income.
Annett testified Thursday that the denial of tenure had damaged her professional reputation and that what she wanted was restatement in a tenured position with the University, although not necessarily in her former department.
Johnson said that was $2.4 million dollars across 25 years. But Annett could recover only the present value of that sum, which still could be more than $500,000. And if Annett and Pierotti win, they also could be awarded attorney fees, he said.

Calling all Tornado spotters
County to train weather watchers

Douglas County Emergency Management is looking for a few good men and women to spot tornadoes.
The county agency will hold a training session for volunteer storm spotters at 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 26 at Nichols Hall on West Campus. In addition, the public is invited to attend a public presentation on tornadoes on March 16 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds near Lawrence.
The agency needs volunteers because some of the experienced storm spotters will be retiring soon, said Marvin Wiedeman, a University of Kansas facilities operations technician who has been a volunteer spotter for 24 years.
Douglas County Emergency Management makes the decisions
on when to send out spotters — any time, day or night, said Teri Guenther, assistant director. The agency sends spotters out to known locations with a good view and decides whether to sound warning sirens based on spotters' radio reports. Guenther said.
Despite advances in radar, spotters are as important as ever because they tell meteorologists what clouds look like, said Daphne Zaras, research meteorologist with the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla.
"It's a lot of training for a day that may only come once a year," said Jay Antle, a Lawrence graduate student who has spotted for three years.
Volunteer spotters train two sessions a month almost year-round, punctuated by a few moments of excitement.
Spotters receive a lot of weather training, said Kate Dinneen, a blacksmith with Walt Hull Iron Works in Pleasant Grove who has been spotting since the early 1990s. Because tornadoes can form in seconds, the sirens will sound not just when funnel clouds or tornadoes are visible but also when the potential for tornadoes is high. So spotters have to recognize wall clouds — a kind of cloud formation that generates tornadoes — and look for cloud rotation. They also call in when high winds, heavy rain and lightning strikes occur, Dinneen said.
It's harder to spot storms at night, but spotters can see when
Antle said that sometimes spotters could track storms by flashes from power lines.
lightning strikes, Guenther said.
Dinneen said radio training was also important because new spotters tended to be excitable. It's important for spotters to not panic scanner-listeners.

KU seeks state funds for electrical upgrade
By Sara Shepherd
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas has been requesting multimillion dollar help from the Kansas legislature to finance campus electrical upgrades for several years, officials say. But so far, their efforts have not been successful.
Eric King, director of facilities for the Board of Regents, addressed the issue at the board's monthly meeting Wednesday.
King said the University needed $6.4 million for on-campus electrical safety improvements. The University has been requesting money for the project for more than two years, he said.
The University's aging electrical system received attention after a transformer blew at Strong Hall Feb.5.
Associate provost Lindy Eakin said the University had two categories of expenses: routine operating costs, such as salaries, and capital improvements, such as new buildings. Money for electrical system upgrading is classified as a capital improvement.
Eakin said the University followed Regents guidelines for obtaining money from the legislature. But people in Topeka lately had not been generous with funds for capital improvements, he said.
"The last several years, the legislature has not been spending money on that kind of stuff," he said.
In the long run, Eakin said, it is essential that the University obtain funds from the legislature to complete large-scale improvements. Until then, it must identify the most pressing infrastructure problems and use the money it has to deal with them.
"We can't just keep waiting for the legislature to bail us out," Eakin said. "We'll have to find some way to get that done immediately."
Eakin said some routine maintenance operations had been put on hold so priority could be given to electrical equipment with the highest risk of failure.
University architect Warren Corman said a lot of the University's electrical equipment was between 40

and 50 years old. Cables are worn out and undersized, while transformers and switchboards are aging, he said.
"The primary problem is very old equipment and cables — very old distribution cables that go all around the campus and in steam tunnels," Corman said.
He said the old electrical system had a capacity of a little more than 4,000 volts. The proposed new system would be three times as powerful.
"Fifty years ago, 4,000 was considered plenty and ample." Corman said.
Corman said the onslaught of technology increased the workload for campus electrical equipment, and the University was struggling to keep up.
"It's really changed," he said. "We're just starting to catch up. I guess."
Plans propose to construct a 12,000-volt electrical distribution system comprised of several loops.
"The campus wasn't laid out that way 100 years ago, and we're trying to convert it to a loop system." Corman said.
Corman said the new system would be powered by two electrical substations, one at each end. One substation already exists near the boiler plant, southeast of Stauffer-Flint Hall. A new station will be built west of Learned Hall.
The stations would enable power to constantly circulate around the loop, even if one point on the system was severed.
"It doesn't make any difference which way it's going," Corman said. "It can feed it from either way."
Corman said acquiring money for the improvements was a slow process.
"It won't get done overnight," he said.
Vote to eliminate undergraduate architecture degree postponed
Rv Kandwa Kankondo
Kansan staff writer
The faculty of the School of Architecture and Urban Design decided Friday to postpone a vote that would have eliminated the five-year architecture program, paving the way for a massive program change.
The proposal would have eliminated the undergraduate architecture degree in favor of a six-year master's degree program.
faculty did not vote because they needed input from the whole school, especially its students.
John Gaunt, dean of architecture, said the
In the meeting, the faculty agreed that a meeting should be held soon and should involve the school's students and faculty.
Earlier in the day, the dean met with students, many who had expressed anger at being left out of the decision-making process.
Gaunt said he gave the students credit for being passionate about an event that would somehow affect their professions.
"We, the students, should have a lot of say in what goes on in the architectural program," said Andy Koenig, St. Charles, Mo., senior.
Koenig said the issue was not just about the lack of student involvement.
"I personally think the program they are installing will be bad in general for the students," he said. "I actually transferred from a program that was the same way. I don't think it was a good program at all."
Koenig transferred from Washington University in St. Louis. He said the school of

architectural engineering there implemented the same program that the University was trying to adopt.
He said that in the six-year program, students in the third year had a lower level of knowledge than he did at the University of Kansas. What is even more frustrating, he said, is to see someone graduate with a master's degree who had only covered the same grounds as somebody from the University of Kansas graduating with a bachelor's degree.
Seoung Lee, Seoul, Korea, senior, agreed with Koenig. He said he did not think the staff knew what the students wanted.
Gaunt said he did not think the six-year plan was indicative of any national trends.

Meeting in Union today to discuss student fees
An open forum to discuss the women's and nonrevenue sports fee will be part of today's meeting concerning student fees at 4 p.m. at the Regionalist Room in the Kansas Union.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, and some senators would like to see the fee eliminated so that money did not have to come out of students' pockets to pay for sports that are not self-supporting.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said generally men's basketball was the only sport to earn money and football broke even.
The fee is $20 per semester, adding up to $880,000 for the Athletics Corp. annually.
Maxwell said that although he thought the debate about the fee had been going on for about 20 years, he thought it needed serious consideration now.

Golden Key to honor eligible sophomores
The University of Kansas chapter of the Golden Key Honor Society, a nonprofit organization consisting of juniors and seniors in the top 15 percent of their classes, will recognize all sophomores with a 3.3 or greater grade point average Thursday at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
The chapter sent invitation letters to about 1,200 qualifying sophomores.
The ceremony will last from 5 to 7 p.m., and sophomores will be encouraged to pursue membership in the organization. Refreshments will be served.
"We want to get sophomores aware of what Golden Key is," said Crystin Burd, Golden Key vice president of public relations and Kansas City, Mo., junior. "We want to give them some background so they are more apt to join."
Burd said Golden Key was expecting about 150 to 200 students to attend the event. The chapter has about 1,100 members.

Letterman returns to Late Show tonight
NEW YORK — David Letterman's first show back after heart surgery was so busy he ran out of time for the Top 10 list.
Letterman's return, taped Friday
and scheduled to air tonight, features Regis Philbin, Robin Williams appearing in doctor's scrubs and a cameo appearance by Jerry Seinfeld.
The veteran Late Show host also brings out his doctors and nurses from New York-Presbyterian Hospital for a public thank you. He underwent an emergency quintuple bypass there on Jan. 14.
"Dave is always funny, but this had an emotional quality about it that made for very, very interesting television," said Rob Burnett, Late Show executive producer.
Letterman held up so well physically that he's planning to work both Wednesday and Friday this week. Burnett said. Friday had been left open to see how Letterman would react.
Top 10 fans will still see the list prepared for his first night back — Top 10 Things You Don't Want to Hear When You Wake Up From Surgery — probably on Wednesday.
Elian's grandma wants to leave Cuba, nun says
MIAMI — A nun who arranged a reunion between Elian Gonzalez and his Cuban grandmothers began advocating for the boy to stay in the United States after learning that one of them wanted to defect, The Miami Herald reported yesterday.
After meeting with the grandmother last month, Sister Jeanne O'Laughlin, president of Barry University, said she was giving up her previously announced neutrality.
O'Laughlin told the Herald she had not talked publicly about why she abandoned her neutral stance because she did not want to endanger the family in Cuba.
"But this is more about that little boy than anyone else, and I have to do whatever I can to help him," she said.
Her change of heart came after speaking alone to both women for about five minutes and then spending a few minutes alone with Elian's maternal grandmother.
when one of the grandmothers spoke to her about defecting, she questioned whether Cuba was the best place for Elan.
"This talk of defecting got me to thinking; if one of the adults wanted out, perhaps it was not a good place for the child," she said.
Chin has been the center of controversy since he was found clinging to an inner tube on Thanksgiving Day off the Florida coast. His mother and 10 others traveling with him in an effort to flee Cuba drowned.
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has ruled in
favor of Elian's return to Cuba, but Elian's U.S. relatives are challenging that decision in federal court.

EAST ST. LOUIS, III. — A federal judge has approved a $30 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit that accused Publishers Clearing House of misleading its sweepstakes entrants.
The suit claimed the company duped people into buying magazines by falsely leading them to believe it would increase their chances of winning millions of dollars.
The settlement had won preliminary approval last June by U.S. District Judge G. Patrick Murphy. But attorneys general from many states objected, contending it would prevent further claims.
Murphy's order, issued Friday, does not stop the states from pursuing their own legal actions. However, they cannot sue for further restitution.
Mailings went out to 42.5 million people who had entered the sweepstakes, and lawyers estimated as many as 25,000 claims might be processed.

American airplanes bomb Iraqi targets
ANKARA, Turkey — U.S. jets bombed an Iraqi air defense system in Iraq's northern no-fly zone yesterday in response to a missile attack, the U.S. military said.
The Iraqi forces fired multiple surface-to-air missiles at warplanes on patrol, the Germany-based U.S. European Command said in a statement. Coalition aircraft responded to the Iraqi attacks with bombs, the statement said.
Iraq's Air Defense Command said the warplanes attacked nonmilitary targets. It told the official Iraqi News Agency that enemy warplanes had bombed service and civil installations.
All planes left the area 250 miles north of Baghdad safely, it said. The planes are based at Incirlik air base in southern Turkey.
The Associated Press
The agency did not report details on casualties or where the bombs fell.
Former University math instructor may have been killed by his son
HOYT — Authorities believe a man fatally shot his parents, wounded a deputy who came to investigate and then died in a fire he had set that burned his home to the ground as authori- ties surrounded it.
The Associated Press
No motive was known Saturday for the outbreak of violence that led authorities to the rural, northeast Kansas home on Friday.
Jackson County authorities tentatively identified the man whose body was found badly burned inside the wood-frame house as Ilesh
Ashok Abdir, 27.
The bodies of a man and woman who authorities believe to be his parents were found about 500 yards from the home in a field near the edge of some woods. They were tentatively identified as Snettalata Shimpi, 58, and Ashok Shimpi, 59. University of Kansas records indicated that Ashok Shimpi was an assistant instructor of mathematics at the university during the 1970s.
Authorities said they could not positively identify the victims until autopsies were complete.

LEONARD PELTIER
Activist urges Peltier's release
Menchu stresses need for unity justice for all
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
International solidarity is a crucial element to the struggle for universal justice and human rights, Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchú Tum told students at the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University this weekend.
Menchu's speeches capped a weeklong visit to the United States, in which she lobbied for the release of Leonard Peltier, a Native American serving two life sentences at the Leavenworth Penitentiary.
"The most important thing is that the struggle for human rights is not a struggle for a couple of people; it's not a temporal thing," said Menchu, an indigenous and human-rights activist from Guatemala, during her speech to about 500 people at Wescoe Hall Friday night. "It is a permanent struggle for all of us. If you in the
United States defend rights elsewhere in the world, you must also defend it in your own country."
Menchu, who spoke in Spanish and used translators, said that after she started learning about Peltier's case, she saw clear discrepancies and miscarriages of the law. For example, she said, the FBI used the testimony of three teenagers who were threatened with prison sentences if they did not cooperate. Also, she said the FBI first declared it was searching for a red pickup truck they believed the shooter was riding in. Later, at Peltier's trial, the description was changed to an orange and white striped van that could be more easily linked to Peltier, she said.
"The legal arguments used in this case are so weird that they can go from a red pickup truck to another type and color vehicle," she said. "I don't know what kind of strange magic they have that can do that."
Menchú said that because of the complexity of the legal system, it was important for lawyers and people with legal knowledge to join the struggle to punish human rights offenders.
"I am not a lawyer, and before, I never understood lawyers," she
Menchú also addressed the status of three human rights cases from Guatemala, Argentina and Chile that are now in the legal system in Spain.
said. "They are designed to confuse people. The language of the courts is difficult; it's not a common language. You who will one day graduate in law, perhaps, will one day defend the truth and apply justice as it should be applied, not just in your country, but in the world."
"If we can now take cases to court in Spain, finally we will have a court that is not bought, that is impartial," she said. "So we have hope, not just because we hope the people responsible for the deaths will go to jail, but because now the world will realize how to punish crimes against humankind."
Saturday at Haskell, Menchu said that although the leaders of the genocide in Guatemala had not been punished yet, there had been progress.
"The greatest criminals once had the liberty to cross borders, take luxurious vacations in Miami, study in the most prestigious universities of your country," she said. "But because of the capture of Pinochet, they will not leave Guatemala because they are not
She also stressed to the Haskell audience the importance of unity among indigenous peoples, and suggested working toward establishing an exchange program between Haskell and the Guatemala-based Rigoberta Menchu Tum Foundation.
sure that they won't be captured and tried somewhere else."
"I congratulate your university, because it is universities like this that can bring brotherhood together to do many things," she said. "In a way, I have more hope in universities like this than the big universities. Many big universities seem like machines of production with many paradigms and grand schemes."
"But for us, education is about creativity, about development. It has to do with people, with our peoples, and with life. I think we have to have other types of innovative ways of changing this world."
She added that although the struggle for justice was often lonely because many people did not want to take the risks involved with her type of work, she had a moral debt to cases such as Peltier's.
"If Leonard Peltier dies in prison," she said, "I do not want to be an accomplice to his death."
Budget clash erupts between K-State,KU
Kansan staff writer
Rv Katrina Hull
writer@kansan.com
Wildcats and Jayhawks are clashing outside the sports arena and under the Topeka Capitol dome.
Student leaders at the University of Kansas and Kansas State University disagree on where state financial aid dollars should originate.
Korb Maxwell, University of Kansas student body president, says more financial aid is a must — even if it comes out of student pockets. Jason Heinrich, K-State student body president, says the money should not come from students or university budgets.
K-State student senators passed a resolution last week condemning Maxwell's proposal and any proposal that cuts university budgets for more financial aid dollars.
"Essentially, we decided that it wasn't our role to ask the Legislature to cut the budget," Heinrich said. "We kind of looked at the trade off. Basically, it's taking money out of one pocket and putting it another."
House and Senate committee deliberations this week will include what to do about financial aid increases not matching tuition increases — or if anything can be done, given the tight state budget.
Last week, the House Education and Legislative Budget Committee recommended removing $1 million from the state universities' operating budgets and designating that money for financial aid and student salaries.
weiteren side argues that more financial aid is not a priority. Instead, the disagreement is about the give-and-take relationship between tuition and financial aid.
Maxwell said that tuition was about giving access to education, but that University administrators wanted to take tuition dollars to finance the University. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said Thursday that he was against pulling money from the University's budget for extra financial aid.
Ben Walker, Student Legislative Awareness Board director, said KU's student lobbying would focus on financial aid and not its source. But financial aid takes priority rather than a university's general operating costs, he said.
"Financial aid is more important
FINANCIAL AID
If financial aid had another $1 million . . .
Recommendations made by the House Education and Legislative Budget Committee designate a $1 million increase in student aid.
■ Marvin Burris, Board of Regents director of finance, said the $1 million was from the state general fund, not student tuition — but it still was money normally designated for universities' budgets.
■ The budget cut would be divided among the six state universities, but not all of the money would be returned to the universities in financial aid dollars, said Paul West from legislative research.
Students at both public and private universities would receive about $400,000 from the $1 million in the form of grants — and only 60 percent of that grant money would return to state universities under the proposal, West said. Of the remainder, $330,000 would go to student salaries and $260,000 would go toward state-scholarship programs.
- The Kansas grant program allocates $6.5 million to private schools and $3.5 million to state universities, West said.
to me than an extra computer somewhere on campus," Walker said. "Without more financial aid, there may be no one to use that computer."
Legislators come down on either side of the issue as well.
State Sen. David Kerr, R-Hutchinson and Senate Ways and Means chairman, said he was reluctant to remove money from the universities' operating funds or to use tuition money for financial aid. But in a tight budget year, Kerr said, those might be the only sources for a financial aid increase
State Rep. David Adkins, R-Leawood and House Appropriations chairman, endorsed cutting $1 million from budgets to ensure accessibility to higher education.
Faculty to receive satisfaction surveys, opportunity to voice concerns
"If it's coming from our pockets," Maxwell said. "We'll try to keep it in our pockets."
Under the House committee recommendations, some of the $1 million would go to the private universities as well.
Maxwell said he would prefer that the money stayed at the universities.

v members. get out your axes.
Faculty members, get one year. For the second straight year, the Faculty Work Satisfaction Survey will be given to all KU faculty members in attempt to gauge their attitudes about their jobs. The survey, developed and issued by the Faculty Compensation Committee, should hit faculty mailboxes this week.
Last year's report did not bear good news, said Ron Ash, professor of business and committee co-chairman.
"The overall result was that faculty are pretty dissatisfied with pay and compensation," Ash said.
He said 37 percent of faculty members returned their surveys to the committee last year. The report indicated that 80 percent of respondents were dissatisfied with their pay. Sixty percent of responding faculty said they were dissatisfied with benefits, pay raises, pay structures and contingent rewards, Ash said.
Provost David Shulenburger said that although University Governance administered the survey, the provost's office provided the funding for the survey because it expected the results to be of value. Shulenburger said last year's results were what he expected.
the AAUP (American Association of University Presidents) salary survey ranks our faculty salaries around the lowest 20 percent of institutions like us as every salary level." Shulenburger said. "Our salaries are 88 percent of the average peer schools. With salaries this far below the competition, I am not surprised at dissatisfaction with salaries."
Ash said this year's survey would be identical to last year's form. He said the committee wanted to have a higher return rate than last year's 37 percent.
said.
"We got clear results the last time, and nothing has been done since." Genova
But Tony Genova, chairman of the department of philosophy and former committee member, said he didn't think the faculty would take this year's survey seriously because too little had changed since the last survey.
Shulenburger said the administration took the results of last year's survey very seriously and he was continuing to work in conjunction with the Board of Regents to make the case for faculty salary increases to the Legislature.
He said the survey reflected the difficulty of academic departments to recruit and keep top-flight professors.
Shulenburger said he and Chancellor Robert Hemenway went before the Senate budget committee last week to support the governor's recommendations. He said he was optimistic that the committee would support the recommendations.
"The bill that established the new Regents pledged four years of faculty salary increases to help us catch up to our peers." Shulenburger said. "The 5.9 percent increase recommended by the governor for next year is the first of four increases designed to make our salaries more competitive."
Ash said his committee hoped to have the results of the survey by the end of the semester. Ash said last year's survey reflected a serious problem, even if salary increases were passed.
"If you perceive you are being mistreated or undervalued, then the tendency is for you to go somewhere where you're valued or to simply cut back on the quality of your work," Ash said. "The end result is that students get less than they could be getting."

Ignition-interlock devices can stop drunk drivers from turning the key
The Kansas Legislature is considering a bill that could help end a serious problem - driving under the influence of alcohol.
The bill would require that individuals with two DUIs use ignition-interlock devices, which don't allow a car to start if its driver is unable to pass a Breathalyzer test that is linked to the car's ignition. These two-time offenders would have to use the device for one year after their year-long driver's license suspensions.
Other options included in the proposal are impounding or immobilizing of the offender's car. However, these options are extremely hard to enforce because of the lack of an effective way to match drivers
Kansas Legislature should pass bill to install Breathalyzers in cars of two-time offenders
to their vehicles.
Kansas Attorney General Carla Stovall has said that each year, more than 100 Kansas residents are killed and more than 2,700 injured in alcohol-related traffic accidents. These are frightening numbers, and any possible method of decreasing them should be considered.
The ignition-interlock device not only links the offender to his or her car but, thanks to recent technology, it is almost impossible for a person to trick the system.
Rather than allowing the funds to be transferred, the Legislature should pass the ignition-interlock option. But even if the retention of funds wasn't at stake, this is a solid solution to a rampant problem. For the state merely to ignore it would be to accept the dangers associated with DUIs.
If legislators don't choose to enforce one of these options, federal highway money will be transferred out of the state's road construction and maintenance fund and into a safety fund. Of the three options, the ignition-interlock system seems to be the most effective.
The ignition-interlock device provides an effective method to combat driving under the influence.

Reform Party's politics need reform
The Reform Party is hopelessly dysfunctional, and so is any hope of a substantial third party movement in U.S. politics.
The only hope for the success of a third party in national elections is for its candidates to make issues of true reforms and to avoid chaotic infighting.
The convention in Nashville, Tenn., proved the lack of continuity in the party. Political quarreling among different factions embarrasses the whole party and destroys any credibility it might have with the U.S. voters. The same kind of dissension exists within the Democratic and Republican camps, but these parties don't dissolve into chaos. As contentious as the race between McCain and Bush or Bradley and Gore, might become, the parties
Reformers' failure spells doom for success of third parties in future elections
themselves endure.
The Reform Party doesn't appear to have the ability to endure. Its meltdown is indicative of the crisis in third party politics. The Nashville convention makes voting for the Reform Party seem like a waste of time. Not only do these events suggest that a Reform candidate never could win the presidency, but also that the party is not fit for any leadership position. If there can be no consensus in the party itself, how can a Reformer hope to build a consensus in
government?
Perhaps a lack of true ideology is the problem. The Reform Party solely exists as the alternative to the two major parties. But this is not enough, especially because the party isn't making an issue out of true reforms, such as campaign finance or term limits.
Jesse Ventura wants to form an Independence Party in the spirit of third-party politics. But any future third party would suffer from the Reform Party's failure.
This is a pity because national politics could use the challenge of a viable third party, a true "reform" movement. In the future, it will be hard to convince voters that any new party is a viable organization and not hopelessly dysfunctional.

I am nothing if not a constant watch of the evolution debate. So imagine the surprise I had when I saw that the institution selected to write the next generation of Kansas science assessment tests was none other than the University of Kansas. The mind boggles.

When you get down to it, you have one group that doesn't like the Kansas State Board of Education's decision regarding evolution and you have another group that wishes the University would keep its nose out of things that don't concern it.

EU shouldn't undermine Austrian voters' choice
Cassio
Europeans are seeing one of the most worrying crises in the recent history of the European Union. The entire concept and philosophy of the organization is being threatened by Austria, the country where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889.
Created to unite the continent and to prevent another world war, the European Union is questioning whether it is acceptable to censor a country for having a coalition government with a party that espouses principles and ideals contrary to the organization's democratic ones.
The steps Europe has taken toward political and economic unity seriously seem threatened by the new government in Austria.
Fourteen European leaders said they would cut bilateral ties to Austria and would make it virtually impossible for any Austrian official to take on important roles in international organizations.
Why? To Joschka Fischer, Germany's foreign minister, the answer is clear. According to a Feb. 4 article in The New York Times, he said.

PADRICK BROWN
"This is the first time an anti-European, xenophobic party with a very dubious relationship toward the Nazi past has come into the government of a member state."
Joschka was referring to Joerg Haider's farright Freedom Party, which had 27 percent of the democratic vote in the last elections and took control of the new Austrian government Feb. 4.
The coalition government includes six members from the conservative Austrian People's Party, headed by new chancellor, Wolfgang Schuessel, and six members from Haider's Freedom Party, namely the new ministers of finance, social affairs, defense, infrastructure and justice. Haider's Freedom Party also includes the new
vice chancellor, Suzanne Riess-Passer.
Haider earned notoriety for commenting on Adolf Hitler's "orderly employment" policies and for lauding veterans of the Waffen SS as "decent people of good character." His party opposes EU expansion and takes an anti-immigrant stance. The public repulsion to these statements led Haider and Schuessel to sign a statement that says: "Austria accepts her responsibility arising out of the tragic history of the 20th century and the horrendous crimes of the National Socialist regime."
The EU fears that the Freedom Party in Austria will increase the chances of a resurgence of anti-immigration sentiments in the continent. It's already happening in the far-right party of Jean-Marie Le Pen in France, the nationalist parties in Belgium and the Danish People's Party in Denmark, among others.
However, only the Austrian people can decide whether there is a place for Haider's Freedom Party in their country's future. The EU's intervention is questionable for a very simple reason: There's something called sovereignty. If the Freedom Party won 52 seats in the 183-member parliament, as did the People's Party, I would assume that it is very popular in Austria — so popular that it managed to form a coalition that would remove the Social Democrats from power, even though they had a plurality in the last parliament.
It is imperative that the will of the Austrian people be respected by the EU. Nazism began 70 years ago in Austria. It certainly was one of the world's biggest mistakes and tragedies. Everyone must do whatever it takes to prevent its rebirth.
However, there is no place for judgment and condemnation in the free world without cause. There is no place for censorship of democracy through actions such as the ones taken by the EU against Austria. There is a place for open discussion, negotiation and progressive talks.

Religious groups not financed by Senate
We are writing in regard to the editorial board's condemnation of Student Senate's action relating to the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.
Had the board done its research, as we did, it would have discovered the explicitly religious content of Schaefer's speech as indicated by transcripts of previous speeches. After discussing the relation between science and religion, Schaefer concludes by saying: "If we trust our lives totally to the Rescuer, Jesus Christ, we will be saved. The one and only path is to give up all human
attempts to satisfy God's requirements and put our trust solely in Jesus Christ and in His means of redemption, namely, His death on the cross."
We believe this set a dangerous precedent, a precedent we hope to have changed by refusing to fund this group. If a speaker is truly secular or academic
Clearly Schaefer's speech was not more academic than religious. The board then claims that Senate needs clearer guidelines as to funding of religious events. Our guidelines are as clear as can be. We do not fund religious organizations. But as the board noted, Senate has funded KU Hillel in the past by suspending the rule prohibiting funding of religious organizations.
in nature, then an organization should have no difficulty in finding an additional sponsor — perhaps Senate itself — that is able to receive Senate funds.
This guarantees that educational, secular speakers will continue to be brought to campus without unnecessarily (and unconstitutionally) using student fee money for religious events We in Senate are not in the business of subsidizing religion.

Unity and mission were the themes of the Kansas Catholic College Students Convention held this weekend at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive.
More than 280 students from across the state attended the event, now in its 28th year.
The Rev. Vince Krische of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, the event's sponsor, said the convention was a response to Pope John Paul II's January 1999 letter to the Catholic Church in America. The letter stressed a stronger unity among the churches in North, Central and South America.
Students were greeted on Friday night by a large banner that said "Aloha" and were given Hawaiian leis, which they wore throughout the evening.
"What we're trying do is to give students the vision of how they can use their education and their leadership to build a better society." Krische said.

Krische said the Hawaiian motif was in tune with the "American" theme of the Pope's letter and helped to create a relaxed atmosphere for the convention.

The convention began with an
secretary of Latin American affairs for the U.S. Bishop's Office in Washington D.C. Ronan's speech touched on the need for all Catholic students to engage in missionary work.
He told students that being a missionary was an expression of the maturity of their faith. He urged them to go to Latin America to share their faith with others on the continent but also to remember to be missionaries in their everyday lives.
"Your fidelity to prayer says a lot to your neers." Ronan said.
The three-day convention also featured several other events, including a speech by the Rev. Pat Tobin, who worked closely with Mother Theresa, and a performance by the New Dawn Native Dancers.
Justen Phelps, Wichita sophomore, said the convention was a unique opportunity to meet other Catholic students from the area.
“It's an opportunity for us to get together, to have a good time, to get to know each other better and to build unity between Catholics.” Phelps said.
Katie Keel, Lawrence sophomore and co-chairwoman of the convention's coordinating committee, said she hoped the convention helped students realize they had the power to bring about change.
"Our emphasis as Catholics and Christians is to bring about a world that is better tomorrow than it is today," Keel said. "The message for students is that they are the ones who can to do this."

Italian campuses serve as sites for KU courses

Not many college classes involve field trips, but one class at the University of Kansas is taking a long, international one.
Tracy Russo's class, COMS 560/BUS 649 Organizational Connections, Communication Challenges for Distributed Organizations, will go to the Consortium International University in Italy during spring break.
Russo said that the students also would take two day-trips to Venice and Verona.
"We'll be in class a fair amount of the time," said Russo, professor of communications studies. "We're going to talk in class about how distributed organizations affect our lives."
The students will stay at the University's campus in Paderno Del Gappa, which is in northern Italy. The University leases land there from a private high school.
"We're going to do some work, but the trips to Venice and Verona will be fun," said Lindsay Lockton, Leawood sophomore. "Our teacher joked and told us to try and make it to class and not have too much fun there."
It won't all be fun and games, though, for the 33 students, Russo said.
"Even when we take our trips to Venice and Verona the students will have to do a little work," she
said.
The University utilizes the Italian campus yearlong.
The University of Kansas is the coordinating university for 28 American institutions that participate in the Consortium. This means that students from any institution involved in the program will receive KU credit.
The University also operates a campus at a monastery in Asolo, Italy.
In Asolo, the University offers an MBA program. Graduates of this program receive a degree from from the University of Kansas.

Cooper did not know how much the University paid to lease the campuses, and a representative from the Consortium in Paderno said that she could not give out that information.

Fraternity seeks members
Latino group wants to achieve ethnic diversity
When Alexander Morales was a freshman, he wanted to be a part of a group that would embrace diversity, cross cultural barriers and allow him to give back to his community.
By Jessie Meyer
writer @kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
Today, Morales, president of Sigma Lambda Beta colony and Kansas City, Mo., senior, is making that happen through hard work and dedication toward the creation of a fraternity at the University of Kansas.
Sigma Lambda Beta is a historically Latino fraternal organization that welcomes men from all ethnic backgrounds. It is a group that Morales has been trying to bring to the University for almost four years.
"You can't get a more diverse group than this," Morales said. "We really encourage people of all ethnicities to join because it will make us culturally stronger."
Along with cultural diversity, the group, which has a membership fee of $35 per semester, is designed to accommodate men from all
economic backgrounds.
"We try to make it so in income is not a factor," said Irid Ordufa, Sigma Lambda Beta member and Pomona, Calif., junior. "We try to make it a non-issue."
There are 50 Sigma Lambda Beta chapters, including one in Puerto Rico, and 14 colonies. At the University, the organization, which has only four members, is considered a colony rather than a fraternity.
"Colony status is the intermediate stage where the group is recognized by the National Fraternity Council, but has not yet received chapter status," said Robert Rodriguez, the colony's adviser. "We have to have 10 men to achieve chapter status."
But the colony's size doesn't bother its members.
"Don't judge a book by its cover." Morales said. "We may be small, but we've got high goals."
Other than generating interest in the fraternity, the colony's main goals are to promote cultural awareness and community involvement.
Among many other events, the men volunteer at the Battered Women's Group in Kansas City, Mo., twice a month. There, they spend time with children from families of battered women, Morales said.
"It's a social fraternity," Morales said. "But we strive to do much more."
Phil Dark, Sigma Lambda Beta member and Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said it was the brotherhood that made the colony special.
"You can't get a more diverse group than this. We really encourage people of all ethnicities to join because it will make us culturally stronger."
Alexander Morales Sigma Lambda Beta colony president
"We are all like real brothers," Dark said. "We take care of each other and are a lot closer than people in other fraternities might be."
Like brothers, the men look out for one another — especially academically. The colony insists on academic excellence. The members will not consider anyone for the fraternity who does not meet the 2.25 grade-point average requirement, and it insists on maintaining a group GPA of 2.5 or higher. Morales said.
Michael Rivera, vice president of the Hispanic-American Leadership Organization and Topeka sophomore, said he had been interested in joining the group since he arrived at the University but had not been able to because of low grades.
Morales, Ordúna, Dark and Francisco Chacon, Liberal junior, welcome anyone interested to either join them on Wednesday nights at Alcove B in the Kansas Union or call Morales at 312.2294.

Club provides forum for GTAs
Bv Karen Lucas
Special to the Kansan
Although Ina Robertson and Heinz Kattenfeld teach in different departments, they exchange ideas about teaching on a regular basis.
Robertson, a graduate teaching assistant in physics and astronomy, and Kattenfeld, a graduate teaching assistant in humanities and Western Civilization, belong to the GTA Breakfast Book Club.
The club, which began last fall, meets the first Wednesday of each month at the Center for Teaching Excellence, 135 Budig Hall, for a discussion of selected chapters from a book that gives teaching tips. The center also provides a continental breakfast.
Robertson praised the club's diverse membership.
"I think it's great we have people from different disciplines," she said. "They might approach a problem from an entirely different angle."
Other GTA participants are from the departments of architectural engineering, Spanish and Portuguese, ecology and evolutionary biology, health, sport and exercise science, and the Applied English Center.
Kattenfeld said the nine club members had found they were dealing with similar problems.
Robertson said she had learned from other GTAs that it would be better to give her students more responsibility in class.
"One of the major goals for everyone is to find ways to increase student participation," he said.
"I could get the students to participate more by letting them make more decisions on their own," she said.
Robertson's efforts to improve her teaching effectiveness have paid off in another way as well. She recently received a letter stating that she had been nominated for a teaching award.
The staff of the Center for Teaching Excellence hopes to sponsor the club in the future, said Judy Eddy, program assistant for the center and club organizer.
"Based on the feedback we've received from the people in this year's group, it seems that it has been a positive experience for them," she said, "and we'd like to offer it for others next year."

"A lot of people listen to us on their scanners," she said. "You don't want to lose it on the radio."
Floyd Craig, a custodial worker for the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation, has been spouting for 25 years.
Craig said that spotting was fun but that he did it to get the warning out because he knows how destructive tornadoes can be.
"You always want to fear them because they can do some weird stuff." he said. "You never know what they're going to do." So safety training is important, Craig said. Spotters' locations all have an escape route,
and they are taught what to do if they can't get away.
Phil Rankin, KU's assistant director of human resources, knows the risks of spotting. He lost an eye in 1981 after a tornado threw a two-by-six that smashed his car's windshield.
Some spotters called last year lousy because they were called out only a few times. Dimeen said 1983 was a good year because there were a lot of storms.
"We're all a little bit warped," she said.
Antle his fascination with storms was almost a family sickness — his father was a meteorologist for the Navy. Antle, however takes it further. He chases storms for fun.
"I enjoy being out in nature, especially a violent form of nature," he said.
Antle said spotting and chasing were pretty safe if you knew storms — which he did. Antle conducts some of the training for Doulas County spotlers.
Zaras said the amateur storm chasers sometimes provided useful data but that the National Weather Service didn't encourage it.
Untrained tornado chasers are risking their lives, said Mike Akulow, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Topeka.
"Chasers need training to be safe, but most are self-taught," he said. "If you get too close, you're dead."

Bradley says McCain's loss is his gain
The Associated Press
ST. LOUISE — Bill Bradley hones the McCain drain is done.
Relegated to the status of junior reformer for nearly three weeks, Bradley says Sen. John McCain's loss in South Carolina clears the way for his own struggling Democratic campaign to renew the pitch to independents and moderate Democrats who have been moving toward McCain.
"He's gotten a shot of oxygen which had been drawn out of his campaign by McCain," said Ross Baker, a political science professor at Rutgers University. "In American politics there can only be one novelty at a time, and McCain has been the novelty."
Once Bradley's partner in spreading the message of
reform, McCain has been the focus of attention since his Feb. 1 upset of Gov. George W. Bush
in New Hampshire, where he won support from independents and crossover Democrats -- the same group Bradley had hoped to attract.
Asked about the opportunity created by McCain's loss, Bradley said, "I think
PRESIDENT
I'm making a strong case to all Americans, independents and Democrats and even some Republicans to bring them over
to our side, and we're having some success."
Bradley said the South Carolina results showed that it was tough for a reformer to win against entrenched power.
Bradley lost to Gore in Iowa and New Hampshire, and his strategy now places a premium on Washington state, which holds a nonbinding primary Feb. 29 — the only Democratic vote before March 7, when 16 states hold primaries or caucuses.
But while McCain has gained against Bush in national polls, Bradley has slumped farther behind Gore — a deficit of about 40 percentage points in the latest surveys. He trails in the polls in California, the biggest of the March 7 prizes, and in New York, where he played professional basketball for 10 years before

Khatami's main advantage is that he is not an outsider trying to vanquish the system but an insider trying to change it.
As a candidate, Khatamil became a magnet for closet liberals and provided hope to the youth and women groaning under the rigid rules enforced in the name of Islam.
More importantly, Khatami gave iranians the confidence to criticize the clergy, which saw itself as the interpreter of God's word and beyond reproach. Outspoken newspapers have flourished in his rule.
To the hard-liners, letting Khatami run was a blunder. To most Iranians it was a boon. Here, finally, was a cleric who understood their frustrations and promised something different. He won 20 million of the 29 million votes cast.
Reform candidates — who have promised to create a civil society with individual and political freedoms — are riding on Khatamai's success, popularity and vision.

Yesterday's protest in the city where the European Union has its headquarters drew not only Belgians but other Europeans who work at EU institutions anchored here. Many chanted "no to fascism in Europe." Others walked silently, wearing yellow stars.
Belgian protesters denounce fascism
The Associated Press
BRUSSELS, Belgium — About 20,000 Belgians, some wearing yellow stars as a symbol of protest, took to the street yesterday to speak out against a far-right party's inclusion in the Austrian government.
"It is urgent to fight anti-Semitism, racism and xenophobia. It is necessary to fight for a democratic Europe," organizers of the march said.
Belgian leaders, war veterans, sports celebrities and concentration camp survivors led the crowd in an anti-fascist march that took protesters past the Austrian embassy.
It was the latest of dozens of similar marches across Europe since Joerg Haider's Freedom Party joined the new coalition government in Austria. The outrage stems from Haider's opposition to immigration and rapid European Union expansion, as well as previous statements praising some Nazi policies. He has since apologized.

KU conducts confidential animal testing
Bv Todd Holstead
Kansan staff writer
Peering through a ubiquitous steel cage lined with blurring lines of bars are nervous round eyes. The sizable New Zealand white rabbit waits with legs so powerful that its back could easily snap when it kicks if improperly restrained outside of the cage.
The rabbit is one of about 2,000 animals at the University of Kansas involved in 100 investigations in Malott Hall. Observing the practices of the investigators and their research is the University's Animal Care Unit and its Animal Care Committee.
James Bresnahan, doctor of veterinarian medicine and director of the Animal Care Unit for the past 15 years, said that the department's main mission was to observe animal research at the University of Kansas. Because the research conducted was confidential, Bresnahan said he could not disclose specific research protocols.
there is animal care and use here," he said. "There are animals we exhibit at museums, for teaching physiology lab, and there are animals for use in medical research or testing."
Bresnahan said he could not disclose where the animals came from.
Michael Schmitt, Harrisonburg, Pa., graduate student and member of the Proponents for Animal Liberation, a campus animal-rights organization, said that he was against animal testing and that his group wanted to educate people about animal-rights violations.
"I know there is testing at KU, and it makes me sad," he said. "But what's even worse is to think about all the other universities and places where this is widespread."
Nancy Schwarting, supervisor of training and service at the Animal Care Unit, said that research animals at the University were well-cared for and protected by governmental regulations.
"This activity is highly scrutinized, and the noose always gets tighter and tighter with more and more regulations," she said. "It's virtually impossible to do something not acceptable."
Bresnahan said that the Animal Welfare Act and the Public Service Act protected animals being used for research and required that every research center have an animal care unit and committee.
that included a scientist, a person not affiliated with the research, a non-scientist and a veterinarian. The committee at KU, on which Bresnahan serves as a veterinaryian, approves research proposals, oversees the research and ensures optimal care for the animals.
Bresnahan said that the Animal Care Unit had three missions: to ensure the care of animals, to administer procedures for the Animal Care Committee, and to instruct researchers.
"Anybody doing any procedure with animals here on campus either has to be trained by us or they have to observed by us," he said. "We have graduate students doing research who may never have used animals, who may never have given a shot or not know how to hold animals. So one of our jobs is to train these people."
About 90 percent of the animals are rats and mice; the remainder are snakes, frogs, rabbits, hamsters, dogs, cats and other animals.
The USDA stated in its Animal Welfare Enforcement Report for fiscal year 1997 that there were 1,267,828 animals registered by centers for research purposes in the United States. The Office of Technology Assessment, however, reported that the USDA study accounted for only 10 percent of the total animals researched.
According to a study by the National Research Council's Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, animals used in research in the United States peaked near 1970. Since then, it has dropped 50 percent.
Bresnahan said that the USDA placed research into three categories: research without pain, painful research with anesthesia and painful research without anesthesia. He said that most of the research at the University of Kansas was either painless or conducted with anesthesia.
The Animal Care Unit has a number of rooms in which to administer research and treatment to animals, including a room with a surgical table for larger animals and areas for dogs and cats to exercise
There also is an X-ray room, a relic from when the department rehabilitated animals in the early 1980s. The equipment continues to be used to diagnose problems in research animals.
In 1992, state and federal budget cuts caused the department to abandon its
rehabilitation practice, but the practice survives at Wild Care, a nonprofit organization located outside of Lawrence that now relies on public and private donations. Schwarting, who serves as the organization's director, said that the Animal Care Unit still contributed to rehabilitating iniured animals.
She said rats and mice, which are often euthanized after their research is conducted, are often fed to animals at Wild Care, but only if it is determined that the research had not endangered their safe consumption.
Schwarting said that smaller animals were euthanized in a chamber that is flooded with carbon dioxide.
"The humane part of it is they feel nothing, and they go to sleep immediately."
she said
In the room where euthanasia is performed, a waist-high incinerator and freezer for the deceased animals sit against the wall. Schwarting said that when a dog or cat had to be euthanized, which was not common, a toxic solution was administered.
Bresnahan said that people were often more concerned with research on dogs and cats. However, he said that only about 500,000 cats and dogs were used in research nationwide and that more than 10 million pets were euthanized in humane shelters each year.
"This is the most noble use of animals, because you're helping both animals and people," Bresnahan said.

'Hawks fight to the end for win

OKLAHOMA

The bump under Drew Gooden's left eye told the whole story.
Gooden, still breathless after Kansas' 53-50 victory against the Oklahoma Sooners yesterday in Allen Fieldhouse, tried his best to sum up the Jayhawks' much needed win.
"We came in and needed to hustle and that's what we did," Gooden said. "We fought, we boxed out, we went after every ball risking our bodies."
Then Gooden paused, pointed to the red bump forming under his eve, and smiled.
"Somebody elbowed me," he said. "There were like 10 elbows thrown at me the whole game. It's just stuff on the court you guys don't see."
What was seen, however, was the No. 24 Jayhawks improving to 19-7 overall and 8-4 in the Big 12 Conference by out battling the No. 20 Sooners in a game best described as a war.
With the win, Kansas tied Oklahoma (20-5, 8-4) for fifthplace in the Big 12 Conference standings.
"I really thought that was the hardest we have played and the hardest anybody has played against us since I've been here," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "Every possession the kids were really fighting. It was a battle out there."
Fighting analogies aside, neither team was getting much done offensively all afternoon. The Jayhawks shot 36 percent from the field in the first half, while the Sooners shot an even colder 31 percent. Both teams were missing easy looks inside as Kansas held on to a 27-23 halftime lead.

quickly regained control. The Sooners were able to pull within 52-60 with 3:56 remaining when Nolan Johnson made a layup, but Oklahoma would not score again.

The Jayhawks had plenty of opportunities to ice the game down the stretch, but they missed seven of their last eight free throws. The game wasn't in the bag for Kansas until Oklahoma guard J.R. Raymond missed a three-pointer at the buzzer.
That defense clamped down on Oklahoma's Eduardo Najera, who came into the game as the Big 12's second-leading scorer with 19 points a game. But Najera, after spending most of the second half in foul trouble, scored only eight points on three-for-12 shooting.
"We knew he was a great player, and we knew it was going to take a great effort to control him," Hinrich said.
"We made it a little closer there at the end than we should have, but the bottom line is we won the game," said Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich. "And I think what won the game was our defense."
Kansas also erased some of the bitter memories of Wednesday's home loss to No. 14 Iowa State, when the Jayhawks blew a six-point lead with three minutes remaining and lost, 64-62.
Count yesterday's win as a big confidence booster for a team in search of confidence.

"We're very happy," said Kansas guard Kenny Gregory, who scored 11 points on five-fornie shooting. "Hopefully, this is something that we can build on."

Women coast past 'Cats
Victory pushes Kansas into tie at top of Big 12
"They went down and scored," Jackson said. "I'll just stay back on
By Chris Fickett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
"Icouldn't play with one shoe," said Jackson, a junior point guard for the Kansas women's basketball team. "I came out of there and tried to dribble and made the pass, and my sock was slipping because my foot was so sweaty. I don't know how it came off. My shoe was still tied. It was tight."
So Jackson sat on the baseline, laughing, while her teammates ran their offense shorthanded at the other end of the court. It didn't affect the Jayhawks as they cruised to a 61-43 victory against the Wildcats in front of 8,650 fans at Allen Fieldhouse, the third-largest home crowd in history.
Jennifer Jackson likes defense. And losing a shoe during Saturday's game against Kansas State gave her a head start on plaving more of it.
"I couldn't get my foot back in the shoe. It was weird."
The 'Hawks will need her on defense as they continue their toughest stretch of the season. Kansas, 19-6 overall and 10-3 in the Big 12 Conference, is tied with three teams for first place in the league and plays two of its final three regular season games on the road.
defense from now on."
"Their defense was different," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "They mix it up and camouflage it pretty well. We just needed to find something that we could live with and work on throughout the ball game."
That something was junior forward Jaclyn Johnson. Johnson, 6-foot-1, was the Jayhawks' most effective weapon against K-State's 6- Oleg Firsova, who snatched a game-high 15 rebounds. But most of her rebounds came off her 10 missed shots, which mainly came in the paint.
Defense kept Kansas in the game early against K-State. The Jayhawks were held scoreless for more than five minutes in the first half and didn't have a double-digit lead until 4:37 before halftime.
"Jaclyn will help us in a number of ways," Washington said. "I thought she hit the boards hard and really was explosive in the paint."
Johnson, however, shot eight-for-12 and scored a game-high 16 points.
gave Kansas a 26-point lead — its largest of the game and capped a 21-8 second-half scoring run. Kansas' defensive intensity began to wear on the 'Cats during that stretch.
"I felt like they were getting frustrated because we constantly put some kind of pressure on them every time that we scored," said senior forward Lynn Pride, who scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
The pressure will stay on as Kansas hits the road Wednesday to Columbia, Mo., where it plays at 7 p.m. against Missouri.
Her basket with 7:48 left in the game
Tie-breakers aside, Jackson broke down the Jayhawks' title hopes like this:
"The truth is there's a four-way tie for first place and we're part of it." Jackson said. "So we have to take care of our remaining three games and if we do that then we are assured at least a share of the championship."
But on the flip side, Washington pointed out, Kansas could end up having to play the first day of the conference tournament if it drops its remaining games and finishes outside the top four in the conference.
"We feel that if we take care of ourselves that we can share the title," she said. "And then it's about seeding for the Big 12 tournament. We could drop three and all of a sudden we're playing on the first day. It's that quick."
Kansas responds to initial loss by sweeping doubleheader

Kansas, 6-1, lost to Southwest Missouri State on Saturday, 5-1, to give the Bears their first win of the year, but the Jayhawks came back yesterday to win both games in the doubleheader, 12-3 and 7-3.
The Jayhawk baseball team escaped Bear country with two wins, but not before its four-game winning streak was snapped.
"It was a good comeback from the lackluster performance (Saturday)," said
On Saturday, Southwest Missouri State's John Rheinceeker fanned 10 Jayhawks and held them to one run on four hits, compared to the seven strikeouts and five hits junior Pete Smart allowed. Smart said his pitching would have been enough if the offense had performed as well.
"When the offense scores, it puts more pressure on the other team," Smart said. "It makes it a lot easier."
Kansas coach Bobby Randall. "I like the way they fought — we're improving, but we can improve even more."
But the Javhawks didn't provide the
clutch hits. Kansas had a chance to extend the game in the top of the ninth with the bases loaded and two outs, but junior Brandon O'Neal struck out.
"Even without playing well, we had a chance to win in the ninth," Randall said. "I thought we pitched really well, but we have to improve our offensive approach dramatically."
The majority of the Kansas offense came from sophomore Ryan Klocksien, who went 2-3 with his first career home run.

- including three from freshman Kevin Wheeler. And four 'Hawks had RBIs, including five from junior Brandon Smith. Randall said he was pleased with the improvement from the first game.
In the second game yesterday, Kansas didn't give the Bears an inch. The team racked up eleven hits on its way to a 7-3 victory. Senior Brett Kappelmann was two for three after he came in as a pinch hitter, and junior Sam Gish, 1-0, picked up the win to complete the sweep of the doubleheader.

Senior steps into spotlight starting lineup against Sooners
"From San Diego, Calif., Ashante Johnson!"
Wait a minute. Did he just announce Ashante as a starter? The same guy who racked up 16 points against Princeton in late December but hardly left the bench against St. Louis the following game?
Better believe it. For the first time in his Kansas career, Johnson heard his name called on the starting lineup as thousands of screaming fans threw confetti and applauded in Allen Fieldhouse.
"It was great, just great," Johnson said after the game. "My heart was pounding. I felt like a little kid in a candy store."
Unfortunately for Johnson, his promotion to the starting line up wasn't because of his excellent play in practice, but because of freshman Drew Gooden's poor play in practice.
But as he stepped onto the floor, Johnson looked more like a candy store bully looking to rough up a little kid and take all his candy. He pounded on Oklahoma-star Eduardo Najera all afternoon, holding help the Sooners to eight points on just 3 for 12 field goals. By the end of the game, it was Johnson who had all of Najera's candy.
Coach Roy Williams said that if he would have gone with the best player this past week, he would have chosen Lester Earl for the starting power forward spot. But Williams said he was not prepared to throw Earl into the starting squad in his first game back from a seven-game suspension.
"Before the game, he wrote the names of the starting line up on the board, and he wrote my name up there." Johnson said. "I was shocked. But he just told me to go out there and play hard."
Johnson didn't find out about getting the starting nod from Williams until right before the game started.
Although he played aggressively against Oklahoma, Johnson looked more timid off the court than he did on it. Most games Johnson isn't even asked to come talk to the press, but yesterday he had a gang of cameramen and reporters surrounding him.
What a pleasant surprise it must have been for Johnson. In the past, he had shown the potential to have a big game, but after a turnover or a missed shot, Williams would yank Johnson, who would watch the rest of the game wearing a warm-up.
Most had never heard the man speak. It was at this time that the press discovered how soft-spoken Johnson was. Reporters practically had their voice recorders placed in Johnson's mouth to get his quotes.
Many Kansas fans have noticed the lack of play for Johnson, a fan-favorite. The Kansan sports desk gets e-mails weekly asking why Johnson doesn't get any clock.
"Were you nervous?" seemed to be the question of the day for Johnson. He whispered his answer back, trying hard not to make a quick movement and take a voice recorder to the mouth.
Johnson might not get to hear his name announced as a starter again until senior night. He might not learn that if you speak loudly, the reporters don't get quite so close with their voice recorders.

But as long as he doesn't mind, we won't mind. We'll settle for him making noise on the court.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 21). Go through what you've got this year and put in the corrections. Tidy up loose ends in March. Just ask for the money in April. You'll learn quickly in May, so take the toughest classes then. The path to your dreams should be obvious in August, but continue to prepare. Convince a skeptic in September, and by December, you could achieve great things. Don't squander your money, and security's yours by next February.
Aries: Today is a 7.
You may have to work a compromise. Don't worry you still can be the leader. It's nice to be the kind of leader people follow because they want to, not because they have to. And, your willingness to compromise now will help you maintain that position.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
You should do pretty well now. Mercury is going retrograde, however. As you may know, that could mean confusion. And, for you, it's going to happen within groups and organizations. So, if you are a member of a group, be extra sure you understand what's happening.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
A lot of interesting changes are taking place. There's also more than the normal amount of confusion. A person who's issuing orders could be way off base. You should pay close attention to what's going on around you. Your advice could be pivotal
Cancer: Today is an 8.
You may have a treasure in your own backyard. Dig through your files, and you may find the perfect thing. It's just what you've been looking for, and it was right there the whole time. You might find a fabulous old recipe in your collection, too.
Leo: Today is a 5.
You and a partner could make your dreams come true. It's not going to be easy, but it does look possible. Your best bet is with an old dream, not a new one. Try again with something you've almost given up on. Recent changes could give it new life.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
You are looking good and drawing a lot of attention. You and your mate or partner need to discuss a financial decision. You and the person you're most likely to be in love with should work on a project together, too. It's bonding.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Libra: Today is a 7.

P
+ +
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
The moon will come into your sign soon. You'll go stronger and more confident as that happens. In the meantime, you may feel a tad stressed. If that happens, go back to the old familiar way of doing things. You'll be more efficient, faster and happier.
You'll be most successful in romance if you're waxing nostalgia with somebody you've known for a long time. Don't spend all day playing, though.
Something important must get done before tomorrow
If there's anything you need to know, ask questions early in the day. Later, there'll be a quiz. If you already have the information by then, you'll pass with flying colors. Part of the quiz, of course, i knowing which answers to have ready.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
A lot of changes are going on, and some of them are pretty impressive. Somebody at home could be pestering you, too. If you don't have anybody at home, it's your own inner child who wants your attention. Spend tonight at home, playing with your toys.
The money's not showing up as quickly as you'd like. You can find out where it is, but a few phone calls may be necessary. You might have to jump through a few hoops, too. If you're patient and persistent, you will succeed — eventually.
How much do you need to get something you want? Instead of writing the check yourself, suggest that a partner pitch in. Watch out for misunderstandings, too. They'll be more common in the next few weeks, starting now.

Women's rowing team ranked in preseason
The Kansas women's rowing team cracked the preseason U.S. Rowing National Collegiate Coaches' Poll.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
the Jayhawks are ranked No. 23, marking the first time in school history Kansas has been ranked in the preseason. The team finished the 1999 spring season No. 22 after winning the Intercollegiate Rowing Association championship in M.
Association championship in May. The national ranking can be attributed to Jayhawk performances in their fall regattas. Kansas placed ninth at the Head of the Ohio Regatta, third at the Head of the Iowa, and 24th at the Head of the Charles in Boston. Assistant coach Heather Galvin said the team's finish at the Head of the Charles was an integral part of the team's spring preseason ranking.
SCORPION
"There was no real surprise with our ranking." Galvin said. "It was based mostly on the Head of the Charles. We didn't perform very well there, but we're happy with the ranking."
The Jayhawks will have a rugged schedule this spring. They will row against five top 10 teams: No. 2 Virginia, No. 4 Southern California, No. 6 Michigan, No. 8 Michigan State and No. 9 Wisconsin. Other top 25 opponents include No. 13 Ohio State, No. 16 Iowa, No. 19 Miami, No. 22 Massachusetts and No. 24 San Diego State.
The U.S. Rowing Coaches' Poll will be released biweekly start April 5. Kansas opens its spring season March 25 at Tulsa.

vesterday to
unpack his things and start the next phase of his baseball career, a day before his formal introduction.
That's just the beginning of the changes for Griffey, the Reds' biggest star since the Big Red Machine of the 1970s.
The 4-for-1 trade with Seattle Feb. 10 set off a wave of calls to the Reds' offices, overwhelming the organization's phone system. It also generated three times the usual number of calls to its spring training complex in Sarasota, which was making final preparations for Griffey's arrival.
Most of his new teammates had already headed out after a morning workout when Griffey drove in with his wife and two children, then spent a half-hour unpacking.
"It's a little different," he said. "Everything I've had for the last couple of years is blue, and now it's red."
The Reds planned a news conference for today, the biggest thing to hit these parts since Michael Jordan showed up at Chicago White Sox camp with a bat instead of a basketball six years ago.
"The excitement around town has been nonstop," said Pat Calhoon, who manages the complex. "I don't think there's been any time when the box office was open in the last eight days that there hasn't been a line."

Yankees' Rivera loses salary case against team
The New York Yankees closer was beaten in his salary arbitration case Saturday and will make $7.25 million
Yankees
instead of his request for $9.25 million.
"Looks like somebody died in here." Rivera joked after learning of the ruling. "I'm not upset at all. It's very good money."
Last year, Rivera beat the Yankees in arbitration and was awarded $4.25 million instead of $3 million, up from $750,000 in 1998.
Even though he lost, Rivera gets the highest salary ever awarded by an arbitrator. The previous high was in 1994 when Chicago White Sox pitcher Jack McDowell got $5.3 million, also in a losing case.
"I'm not pleased or displeased with anybody, 'Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said. 'I just came here to tell him to keep his mind on the game and that we'd be behind him even if he won."
Arbitrators Howard Block, Elisabeth Neumier and Alan Symonette made their decision Saturday, two days after hearing the case in Tampa, Fla.
NEW YORK - For baseball owners, salary arbitration was a relative success this year, with the average increase for players dropping from 169 percent to 124 percent, according to a study by The Associated Press.
Philadelphia outfielder Bobby Abreu gained the largest increase, a 1,088 percent rise from $400,000 to a $4.75 million average in his $14.25 million, three-year deal with the Phillies.
Owners are winners in arbitration process
Just behind was Atlanta Braves outfielder Andy Jones, who got a
心
1,021 percent raise from $330,000 to
$3.7 million.
Owners won six of 10 cases that went to hearings, the fourth straight year they have won a majority of the decisions, but down from a 9-2 record in 1999. Overall, they have a 242-185 advantage against players since arbitration began in 1974.
Still, they dislike arbitration because most players get huge raises and the small- and middle-market teams are forced to match the raises large-market clubs give their players.
But the percentage increase dropped sharply from last year's record 169 percent and was the lowest since 1996, when there was a 73 percent average rise.
Of the 91 players in arbitration, the average salary rose from $906,091 last year to $2,031,917, according to the AP study.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Call him the Dominator of Daytona.
Defending Winston Cup champ Dale Jarratt won his third Daytona 500 in eight years yesterday, passing surprise contender Johnny Benson for the lead four laps from the end.
Jarrett cruised to the victory, driving the last two of 200 laps at Daytona International Speedway under caution after Jimmy Spencer crashed on lap 198.
Jarrett came into the race with the pole and as the favorite. He lived up to his billing in NASCAR's biggest race.
"I would never have dreamed when I came into this sport that I could win this race three times," Jarrett said on Victory Lane, where he was greeted by a burst of confetti and hugs from his crew.
Jarrett appeared to have everything in hand even when he trailed Mark Martin midway through the race. Just about everyone expected Jarrett to make his move any time he wanted.
Jarrett, who now has 23 career victories, dominated early in a race that lacked any drama until the last 50 laps. He ended up leading for 89 laps, by far the most.
He still trailed Martin when debris on the 2 $^{1/2}$-mile oval brought out the third of six yellow
Benson, driving a Pontiac, was one of five drivers who chose to change only two tires while everyone else changed four. That put Benson, the 1996 rookie of the year who has yet to win a Winston Cup race, out front and left Jarrett fifth.
flags and all the leaders made a pit stop on lap 157.
Somehow Benson's Pontiac was able to stay out front as a pack of powerful Forrs stayed close in his ww.
After former Daytona winner Derricke Cop hit the wall on lap 169, bringing out the fourth caution, Jarrett began to assert himself.
He was sixth on the restart on lap 176, but quickly moved up to fourth on lap 177. He followed Martin to third on lap 180 and took advantage when Martin's Ford slipped up the track in turn two on lap 187, moving right onto Benson's rear bumper.
Benson stayed in front until Spencer was involved in a six-car wreck on lap 183, sending Michael Waltrip spinning in turn four. Waltrip was hit by Elliott Sadler, and the race was slowed again.
When the green flag waved on lap 197, Jarrett wasted no time, racing high in turn two and driving under Benson's car. He powered into the lead on the back straightaway. Benson quickly faded and wound up 12th.
Second-place finisher Jeff Burton never had a chance to make a run
on the leader as the final yellow waved moments later.
Jarrett was worried at the beginning of the race because of a fender-bender with defending Daytona 500 champion Jeff Gordon in the final practice Saturday. The car had sheet-metal damage to its front and rear, but Jarrett's crew chief, Todd Parrott, worked his magic.
Bill Elliott, a two-time Daytona winner, started third and finished third, followed by Rusty Wallace and Martin, all of whom drove Tauruses.
"I knew when he told me he could fix it would we would be OK," Jarrett said.
th, allowed by Rusty Wallace and Martin, all of whom drove Tauruses. Bobby Labonte, sent to the back of the lead lap after teammate Tony Stewart hit one of his tires on pit road on lap 91, wound up sixth in a Pontiac, just ahead of his brother Terry Stewart's Chevrolet and the Grand Prix of Ward Burton.
Jarrett, who won about $2.2 million, including a $1 million sponsor bonus, averaged 155.69 mph in the race, which was slowed by 24 laps of caution. There were only nine lead changes among seven drivers.
There were fears that the 500 would be a boring affair after two sleepy qualifying races on Thursday. And it indeed lacked excitement, with just one caution flag and very little passing through the first 132 laps.

Jayhawk pole vaulter rises above competition
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Andrea Branson never had it so easy.
Not only did she clear 12 feet, nine inches to win first place in the pole vault at Friday's Pre-Conference Invitational, but she also won the competition by nearly three feet.
MISSOURI 2011
"I know it sounds bad, but I started and everyone else was done," said Branson, a junior All-American. "I'm kind of happy, though, I wouldn't say I had no motivational factor, but with no competition here, I'd say I did pretty well."
"My second attempt at 13-3 was incredible." Branson said. "I was so pumped up—to know that so many people are watching and supporting you is just great."
So well, in fact, that Branson attempted to break her own school record of 13-1. As the bar raised two inches above that mark, calls of encouragement and rhythmic clapping spouted from the crowd, coaches and athletes.
But Branson's performance wasn't the only great pole vault performance. Freshman Megan Wray and sophomore Ashley Pyle finished second and third, respectively. In the men's competition, junior Greg Steele, freshman Vadim Givozdetskiy, junior Andy Morris and sophomore Justin Stancil grabbed the top four places, respectively.
"I'm just impressed that everybody is stepping up in such a small meet." Branson said. "It's seems like some people are just giving it their all."
In fact, all in all, Kansas turned in 11 first place finishes.
"I thought we had some very nice performances," coach Gary Schwartz said. "One of the best was Ryan Speers, who got a personal best and bettered his provisional mark in the shot out."
Besides Speers' heave of 60-10, a strong
showing in the middle distance races came as a pleasant surprise, as well as sophomores Brian Blachly, Pete Prince and Derec Lacio placing one, two and three in the 3,000-meter run.
"Both Brian Blachly and Pete Prince had personal bests in the 3,000, and I think that was a personal best for Derek Lacio too," Schwartz said. "And in the 800-meter run, that was R.J. VonMerveld's best race this season."
And, maybe, for the Jayhawks the personal record setting doesn't end here, especially with the Big 12 Indoor Championship meet this week in Ames, Iowa.
"You're hoping as a coach that at a meet like this that kids will perform as well as they are able to, going into a big meet," Schwartz said.

However, the Jayhawks were unable to put everything together to push past three nationally ranked programs, finishing fourth with 472.5 points. The Jayhawks lost to No. 22 Texas A&M and beat No. 16 Nebraska earlier in the season, but they did not know what to expect from No. 33 Texas.
The Kansas women's swimming and diving team hoped for an upset at the Big 12 Championships this weekend in College Station, Texas.
They should have expected a stampede.
The Longhorns received first-place finish in 16 of 21 events and led from the start, setting a record for the three-day event
Although the dayhawks likely won't qualify for the NCAA Championships as a team, coach Gary Kempf said he was proud.
with 914.5 points. The Aggies finished second with 735.5, and the Cornhuskers were third with 634 points.
"I'm real pleased with how we performed tonight," Kempf said. "Sometimes, you take too long to get started, and that's what happened to us this week. But it was a solid year for us, and we've got a good group of young kids to build upon."
The school's record books had six new entries as new top-five marks were set.
Junior Carolyn Grevers shattered the 100-meter breaststroke record Friday, finishing second with a time of 1.03.31. Grevers was exhausted and said her
"I did well in the breaststroke, but I didn't know I had gotten the record for the swim," she said.
Senior diving captain Kerri Pribyl's 1-meter preliminary mark of 491.65 set a personal record and was the third-best in school history. Pribyl finished sixth in the 1-meter and seventh in the 3-meter.
body could hardly function after returning home yesterday.
The three Jayhawk freshmen that had helped the team the most throughout the year were key in helping rewrite the record books, as well. Lyndsay DeVaney posted Kansas' third best mark all-time in the 1600-meter freestyle. DeVaney also contributed the most points to the team, with 40 individual points and 30 points from helping the 800-meter freestyle relay
DeVaney and Beth Schyrer set the third, and fourth-best times, respectively, in the preliminaries of the 500-meter freestyle. Schyrer's sixth-place finish was one better than DeVaney in the finals, but both of their times were slower than they were in preliminaries.
Freshman Gwen Haley finished sixth in the 200-meter individual medley with a time of 203.2, the third fastest in school history. Haley, who is provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships in both the 200 and 400-meter individual medley, was more impressed with her team's performance than her own.

Softball team logs four shutout wins
By Rebecca Barlow

Kansas sportwriter
Four shutout wins pushed the Kansas softball team's record to 5-7 overall after going 4-3 at the Triangle Classic Tournament in Raleigh, N.C., this weekend.
Kansas started the tournament Friday with victories against Boston and Campbell universities.
Against Boston the Jayhawks scored only one run, but it was enough in a 1-0 victory. Sophomore Shelly Musser's first-inning triple set up an RBI groundout for fellow sophomore Leah Tabb. Senior pitcher Sarah Clopton pitched all seven innings and gave up one hit. She had 10 strikeouts and pitched the first shutout of the tournament.
"Sarah struggled with back problems last weekend," said Kansas coach Tracy Bunge. "We didn't know how much she could give us today, but she pitched great. She really came through big."
Against Campbell, the Jayhawks' pitching and offense helped lead them to an 11-0 run-rule victory. If a team is ahead by more than eight runs, the game is called after five innings.
Senior Melanie DeWinter pitched five shutout innings as Kansas scored four runs in the first inning, four in the third and three in the fourth to clinch the win.
"I am extremely pleased with the job that Melanie did," Bunge said. "She stayed in good rhythm and was within herself the entire game."
Musser went 3-for-3 at the plate, drove in two runs, scored twice, and eventually, earned all-tournament team honors. She said that the Jayhawk offense had improved, but she knew it could be better.
"It is a little bit better." she said. "But there is still a lot more potential we have not brought out yet."
The Jayhawks had hot bats early
against Liberty and captured a 4-0 lead after one run in the first and three in the fourth. Sophomore Kelly Campbell started on the mound for Kansas and pitched the third shutout of the tournament.
Against Maryland, however, it was a different story as Kansas was shut out 2-0. The Terrapins got out to an early 1-0 lead and scored an insurance run in the fifth inning. Clopton pitched all seven innings and struck out five in the losing effort
Despite losing to Maryland, the 'Hawks advanced to the gold medal round of the tournament, with Alabama as their first opponent. The Crimson Tide had a 4-0 lead until the sixth inning, when senior Christy McPhail hit a solo home run. Kansas would not score again and lost 4-1.
In Kansas' last two games Sunday, the Hawks got a 6-0 win against UNC Charlotte, but later lost to Minnesota 2-0 to finish the weekend.
The Jayhawks' next action will be this weekend at the Oklahoma Invitational.

Kansas loses to Harvard overpowers Columbia
Kansas men's tennis coach Mark Riley said his team had something to build on after it went 1-1 in Boston this past weekend.
The Jayhawks were defeated 6-2 by No. 25 Harvard on Friday, but Riley said the match was a lot closer than the score indicated. Despite the loss, Kansas was able to fight back on Saturday and beat Columbia 6-1.
"We were disappointed with the Harvard match because we were so close and played such good tennis," Riley said. "I am some-what pleased because we started playing like I knew they were capable of playing."
Kansas, 3-5, was hurt in the Harvard match by a new experimental format developed by the International Tennis Association to speed up the game. The doubles matches were scored using an eight-game pro set, while the singles matches were scored using a 10 point bracket instead of a third set.
Under the new format, if a team sweeps
Sophomore Quentin Blakeney and freshman Eleazar Magallan had the only two victories for the Jayhawks against Harvard.
the doubles matches, it is awarded two points instead of one. This haunted the Jayhawks because they were swept in doubles by Harvard. The Jayhawks won two of their single matches, and took two of their eventual losses into a tie breaker.
The Jayhawks claimed their first road win of the season Saturday, but they again lost doubles, which Riley said was something the team needed to work on.
"We're going to have to go back to basics with our doubles teams," Riley said. "We need to improve on our servers and our returns."
Things looked bleak when the 'Hawks fell behind in four singles matches. But, Kansas batted back, claiming all six matches.
"That was the biggest tumoural I've ever seen as a coach," Riley said. "I think the guys played a gritty match. They had every reason to throw in the towel, but they fought back."
Kansas will have its next team competition on March 4 against nationally ranked Big 12
Conference foe Baylor.
Women's golf team splits with Indiana Hoosiers
Brent Wasko
The Kansas women's golf team split with the Indiana Hoosiers in a match-play format event last weekend at the Orange County National Golf Center in Orlando, Fla.
On Friday, the Jayhawks were led by junior Sarah Mahoney and freshman Kristy Straub, who earned all but one-half point of Kansas' total in a 12.5-point to 7.5-point loss in the first match of the tournament.
The second day was a different story as the Jahhwakes were able to rebound and record a 12-point to 8-point victory against the Hoosiers and earn a split for the event.
Kansas coach Nicole Hollingsworth said that she was pleased with what the team accomplished in Orlando.
The Jahawks next take to the course this weekend at the 2000 Carolinas Collegiate Classic in Pinehurst, N.C.

Earl's return helps Jayhawks rope Sooners
Suspension lifted; forward's defense key to 53-50 victory
By Matt Tait sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Les is more — for the Kansas basketball team that is.
Senior forward Lester Earl returned to the Jayhawks yesterday after his indefinite suspension was lifted Saturday night and provided No. 24 Kansas with a late defensive spark that helped propel the Jayhawks to a much-needed and hard-fought 53-50 victory against No. 20 Oklahoma.
"Lester, for five minutes, gave us a heck of a lift defensively. He is one guy who can play the Fizers and Najers better than anyone we have," said coach Roy Williams, referring to Iowa State's Marcus Fizer and Oklahoma's Eduardo Naiera.
That is exactly what Earl did.
That is exactly what Earl took. Used sparingly, Earl did not take the floor until four minutes remaining in the first half. Immediately, Earl grabbed a rebound on a missed free throw, and seconds later he launched the ball into the backcourt: one rebound, one turnover,
one minute — welcome back.
"It felt good knowing that I was going to play, knowing that it was going to be a tough game and knowing that I was going to help this team out," said Earl, who found out that he would be eligible to play
against Oklahoma during Saturday's practice.
His one first-half rebound and turnover were hardly the last that the Allen Fieldhouse crowd saw from Earl yesterday.
For much of the second half Earl sat on the bench as Kansas and Oklahoma battled. Kansas led most of the way, but a late Sooner rally gave Oklahoma the lead and doubts entered the heads of the jayb
AUTHORIZED USER
the heads of the Jayhawks.
"I had confidence we were going to win," center Eric Chenwolith said. "But I didn't know we were going to win. Those free throws were pretty nerve-racking."
The free throws came during a 30-second stretch in which Kansas missed five of six from the line late in the game. And Aarl started it all.
With 11 seconds remaining on the shot clock and 41 seconds in the game,
Oklahoma was down two points and had possession. Earl, who entered the game for defensive purposes, left his man to help defend a six-foot baseline jumper. His outstretched arms upset the shot, and as Earl turned to rebound, the ball fell into his hands. He was then pushed out of bounds and sent to the free-throw line with 30 seconds left.
Earl, a notoriously bad free-throw shooter, stepped to the line with visions of Ollie from the movie *Hoosiers* in his head.
"I had never seen Hoosiers before and I watched it last night, so I thought that would be me stepping to the line and making the free throws," said Earl, who's a 60 percent career free-throw shooter.
Unlike Ollie, however, Earl missed both free throws, but Kansas point guard Jeff Boschee came down with the rebound. Kansas was not out of the woods yet, as Boschee, who is shooting 82 percent from the line this season, missed two as well. Enter Ken, and lost time.
With Kansas, he still up only two, Earl did just what he was inserted to do.
Najera caught the ball in transition, and Earl challenged him immediately. As Najera cut right, Earl reached in and bothered his dribble. In an attempt to recover it, Najera lost the ball out of bounds.
In front of a wild crowd, Earl ran down the court and jumped into the air in ciele

bration.
"I knew I wasn't going to let my man score," Earl said.
And after what turned out to be a sevengame suspension, Earl's presence was immediately felt.
"Lester Earl came in and gave us a boost guarding Najera and shutting him down [8 points on 3-of-12 shootin'], forward Drew Gooden said. "That last minute, Les came in and played excellent 'D' on Najera."
"This team is my first priority," he said. "Whatever happens with anything else, happens, but first priority is this team. This is something I have to focus on mainly. I can't have any more distractions."
And from here on out that would be his role, Earl said.
'Hawks maintain defensive edge in showdown
Mistakes doom K-State in 61-43 Kansas victory
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
No one would have mistaken Saturday's Sunflower Showdown for a ballet.
ers missing easy shots in the paint.
There weren't amazing shots, or fancy dribbling, or well-executed set plays. Even clean possessions were hard to come by.
But the Kansas women's basketball team made fewer mistakes than Kansas State, and the Wildcats left town on the wrong end of a 61-43 defensive battle.
The Jayhawks played aggressive defense, but were helped by Wildcat guards dribbling the ball off their toes and post play-
"If you can't get into your offense, you can't produce points," said Wildcats senior forward Nicky Ramage. "We couldn't score, and we kept throwing the ball away."
In all, Kansas State turned over the ball 24 times and managed only four steals.
"Kansas is that much quicker," said Wildcat coach Deb Patterson. "They are faster, quicker, bigger, stronger. They exploit your weaknesses and maximize their strengths. It just felt like our feet were in syrup, and we couldn't get out of it and get any real rhythm."
And it's not as if this team is incapable of producing points.
The Wildcats beat No. 10 Iowa State by three points last weekend and came within three in the teams' first match, shooting
KL
women's BASKETBALL
better from three-point range than the Cyclones.
Guard Kim Woodlee showed signs of that offensive potential Saturday when she hit three three-pointers and scored 11 points. But the team shot only five-for-15 overall from three-point range.
Ramage led the team in scoring with 13 points and center Olga Firsova added 10 points in four-of-14 shooting.
"When they couldn't find any offense, they broke down on defense," said Kansas forward Jaclyn Johnson, who led the Jayhawks in scoring with 16 points.
The breakdowns allowed Kansas to get easy baskets in the paint. Johnson capitalized and put together a strong performance.
"Jaclyn is a great ballplayer," Ramage said. "When it comes to games like this where you get down like that in the second half, you just try to fight back. Jaclyn made some great plays and had some great looks, and it was totally a credit to her."
With road games against Missouri and Oklahoma coming up with the Big 12 Conference title on the line for Kansas, the Jayhawks wanted to establish a tough defense, and they did that against the Wildcats.
"It's attitude," said senior forward Lynn Pride. "For the last couple of games now, we've been showing teams how good our defense can be. We are being consistent, and we are all bringing it to the table."
Temple ends Cincinnati's home streak
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Temple stopped the nation's longest current winning streak yesterday, beating No. 1 Cincinnati on a court where the Bearcats usually rule.
Cincinnati had won 16 in a row — tops in Division I — and its home-court winning streak was at 42 before Temple took command. The Owls now have won 11 in a row, their most since the 1993-94 season.
Temple's tight, matchup zone bothered Cincinnati throughout the game. The Owls delivered yet another blow to the Bearcats, who were knocked out of the NCAA tournament in the second round last year by Temple.
With Mark Karcher scoring 22 of his 28 points in the second half, No. 15 Temple made the most of a gritty defense and rallied for the 77-69 victory.
Karcher led a 16-8 run after Cincinnati had taken a seven-point lead, its biggest of the game, midway through the second half.
Quincy Wadley added 16 points for Temple, 20-4, and Lynn Greer scored 15. all in the first half.
DerMar Johnson had 16 points for Cincinnati, which fell to 24-2. Pete Mickeal scored 14, Kenyon Martin 13 and Kenny Satterfield 10.
Cincinnati was unable to generate any perimeter offense in the early going. Temple, however, had no problems from outside.
Greer, who averages 12 points a game and has been shooting 36 percent from long range, came off the bench and shot five-of-five in the first half.
Temple dominated play early, with Cincinnati's first lead coming at 1:25 in the first half when Johnson hit the second of consecutive three-pointers.
The Bearcats led 34-33 at halftime, and Cincinnati cranked its defense at the start of the second half. That produced a 9-0 run in which Keith Logan hit two three-pointers. His second gave Cincinnati a 53-46 lead with 10:31 left.
But Cincinnati was not able to contain Karcher, who scored 13 points during Temple's 16-8 run. From that point, Wadley took control and scored eight points in the final three minutes.

Off-season, but not off the hook
Football players condition yearlong
By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Although spring drills are almost a month away and football season is well in the future, the Kansas football team is hard at work preparing for what could be its most successful season since 1995.
That year, the Jayhawks finished with a 10-2 record and a victory at the Aloha Bowl.
This year, all of the Jayhawk football players enrolled in classes are participating in strength and conditioning drills every week this winter in preparation for spring drills and the upcoming season.
Even freshmen such as Reggie Duncan, a 5-foot-9, 205-pound running back who was a redshirt last season, participate in the workouts. Duncan said the two-a-day workouts lasted about an hour or an hour and a half each but did not interfere with classes.
"You schedule it when it fits you best," Duncan said.
The athletes have a wide range of time to schedule their workouts. Fred Roll, director of strength and conditioning, said workout sessions start at 6 a.m. and last until about 2:30 or 3 p.m. More start at 4:15 and last until 6, he said.
The team conditions at the Shaffer-Holland Strength Center, which is located between Allen Fieldhouse and
Anschutz Sports Pavilion in the Wagnon Student Athlete Center. Weights and mirrors line the walls, and popular music plays as the athletes go through routines.
Roll said when designing a workout program, the strength and conditioning staff tried to work into the program anything that could help prevent injuries from occurring or reoccurring.
"We put a big emphasis on flexibility." Roll said. "We're trying to do some flexibility stuff because we feel like that helps prevent injuries."
The athletes use free weights rather than machines during their workouts. The north wall of the center is lined with squat racks and used mostly for leg work. The middle of the floor has platforms for Olympic lifts, such as power cleans and snatches. The south wall is mostly for bench press and upper body work.
Roll said the staff liked to use dumbbells for upper body work instead of bars because dumbbells built stability in the shoulder joints and could be used for a variety of workouts.
Kareem High, a 5-foot-10, 200-pound senior safety who started all 12 games last season, said that the workout was similar to what he did in junior college but that Kansas had a better facility and weights. High said he was pleased with Roll's strength and conditioning program.
"Fred's got a good workout — a good program where it builds our endurance, our speed and our strength, all at the same time," High said.

gram runs all year, with the players coming in to lift weights three times a week during football season. The team doesn't work out during breaks. If players attend summer school, they work out during those eight weeks. They have an eight-to-10-day break between summer school and the start of preseason two a-day practices.
Duncan and High said if athletes didn't stay to take courses during the summer and work out, it still was important for them to continue working out at home.
Quincy Roe, a 5-foot-9, 185-pound junior who started seven games at left cornerback last season, offered a good reason for athletes to stay on campus and participate in supervised workouts.
"When we come back from home or vacation, we have tests that are mandatory that we have to pass." Roe said. "So it behooves you to stick around."
And what happens if athletes don't pass the strength and conditioning tests?
Roll said. "They have to come back every morning at 6 a.m. and run that test again, and they run it until they pass it."

Beer cans barred in residence halls
Policy to outlaw empty containers
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The zero-tolerance alcohol policy at the University of Kansas just got tougher.
A policy banning empty alcohol containers in student housing will go into effect this fall, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
Josh Burdette, president of the Association of University Residence Halls and Student Housing Advisory Board member, said the advisory board approved the policy to help curb drinking in both the residence and scholarship halls.
"There was concern about having a lot of empty containers, because there can be no knowledge if they are empty or
not, short of checking every can." Burdette said.
But the safety The policy covers all containers that have held, or were specifically created to hold. alcoholic beverages.
"It takes the guesswork out of it," said Diana Robertson, associate director for residence life. "It makes it very clear to residents and staff members."
One of the main concerns the AURH had with the policy was in regard to collections and other projects in which the cans and bottles were used. To account for this, the board added a clause in the policy allowing for collections that specifically states:
clearly states:
"Empty containers that have been physically altered to serve a solely decorative purpose are permitted with prior approval from hall complex or scholarship hall directors." Burdette said.
Robertson said that students would need to register their collections through the hall in which they live.
Jill Tharp, Overland Park freshman and resident of Gertrude Sellars
Pearson-Corbin Hall, said she had been in several residence hall rooms where there were beer can and bottle displays.
"I don't think it will make a difference," Tharp said of the policy, "Part of having the collection is to prove that you drank all those beers, and people will get alcohol in the halls if they want it."
Kim Lorenz, Omaha, Neb., freshman,
agreed.
"I don't understand why empty containers would be banned," she said. "If there is no alcohol in them, they should be allowed."
The details surrounding the enforcement and punishments have not been nailed down.
"There are never any random room checks," Burdette said. "And there is no real set punishment. Right now it would be considered a policy violation like any others."
Because many specifies have not been decided, no action has taken place for several months. The next step is to put it into writing.
ALCOHOL POLICY CHANGE
Alcohol policy change
The new student housing alcohol policy, with choices in bold:
- "Cereal malt beverages and alcoholic liquor may not be brought into or consumed in educational buildings or in University student housing facilities. This regulation pertains to any person, regardless of age, student status or position within or outside of the University setting. To avoid any possible misunderstanding, alcoholic beverage containers of any type are not allowed in University housing facilities. Discovery of an alcoholic beverage container will require the immediate discarding of the container and its contents, if any, in the presence of a staff member. Empty containers that have been physically altered to serve solely decorative purposes are permitted with the prior approval of the hall's Complex or Scholarship Hall Director."

New program would stretch donations
By Katrina Hull

Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas may be losing to Missouri in a modern border war for money, Kansas University Endowment Association officials say.
Missouri is more attractive to donors dedicating dollars that entice top-notch professors because the state matches private donations to form professorships.
Kansas does not. But legislators are considering placing Kansas on a level battlefield with its Civil War rival when attracting university donations.
That could change if the Senate endorses the Kansas Partnership for Faculty Distinction program, which passed in the House of Representatives in the 1999 session
"In greater Kansas City, the state line is quite prominent," said Dale Seuferling, vice president for development at KU Endowment Association. "For the last four years, it has been more attractive to go to Missouri."
LIKE Missouri's program, the partner ship would require Kansas to match do lars for private donations that create new faculty positions, making Kansas a state where donor dollars stretch farther.

"Competition for the pool of available philanthropic dollars is keen, and these programs have been active in other states for several years," Seuferling said. "A program like this would be an important step in assisting the University of Kansas and other state universities in attracting and retaining the best faculty possible."
Bill Docking, chairman of the Board of
The proposed Kansas partnership would require a minimum donation to kick in the state's matching obligation.
"Frankly, Kansas is not keeping up with the competition," Docking said.
At the University, gifts of $500,000 or more would activate the program. Seuferling said that in the last two years, the Endowment Association had received three gifts that met the minimum requirements and had three more that might meet the requirement in the next few years. KANSAS Legislature
If enacted, the immediate impact at the University could be five new professorships in the next year, Seuferling said.

Seuferling said that donors were watching the legislation but that he could not release their names.

The Senate Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to vote on the proposal on March 1. Mike Matson, Regents director of external relations, said he thought legislators seemed receptive to the program despite the tight budget.
University had dropped from 85th to 101st in faculty compensation in U.S. Neus and World Report and that faculty compensation caused the University to drop from 30th to 38th overall.
The Legislature promised $8.4 million for faculty salary increases with higher education restructuring last year, but Docking said that was not enough to keep Kansas competitive.
"It is unreasonable to expect total state support to finance the level of quality, which we endeavor to maintain," Docking said. "For this, we must depend on the generosity of individuals who have strong allegiances to an institution."
Student sports fee may be eliminated
Bv Erinn R. Barcomb
By ERNIT R. BURGESS

Kansan staff writer
Members of the athletics department and one student spoke last night in favor of keeping a $20 per-semester student fee that pays for women's and nonrevenue sports.
Vocal opposition to the fee was absent when the student fees subcommittee met with representatives from the University of Kansas Athletic Corp.
An open forum for concerned students was scheduled as part of the meeting, but Michael Henry, Student Senate campus director, was the only student to speak.
Henry gave examples of former student athletes who had participated in nonrevenue sports at the University and went on to pursue medical degrees or become teachers.
"This is about 587 student athletes this fee affects," Henry said.
Henry said.
The price of the fee is what a student might spend on a Saturday night, Henry said. But $20 a semester also can mean four years of memories to a student athlete, he said.
The fee generates between $850,000 and $900,000 annually. Women's basketball receives the largest portion of the fee about $150,000.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, had said that, although he supported women's and nonrevenue sports, he did not think the fee
"Our primary goal is to serve student athletes, but we have to look at what all students want."
Bob Frederick
Athletics Director
provided a service for students like the libraries fee,for example.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, Pat Warren, assistant athletics director, and Susan Wachter, chief financial officer of KUAC, answered questions from the committee about the use of student fees for women's and nonrevenue sports.
"Our primary goal is to serve student athletes, but we have to look at what all students want," Frederick said.
Frederick said that KUAC paid the largest amount of student fees because of grants-in-aid provided to student athletes.
The fee is why students do not have to pay to see women's and nonrevenue sports, Frederick said. Wachter added that fees kept basketball and football ticket prices low, as well.
Frederick said KUAC would have to cut a program or find another source of revenue if fees were eliminated.
The committee will make a decision about the fee within one or two weeks.
Speaker urges crowd to pull together, make University more inclusive

Around the turn of the 20th century, the University of Kansas attracted a large group of African-American students, but since then, the University has slid backward, said Bill Tuttle, professor of history and American studies, to a crowd of 75 people last night at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union.
African Americans gravitated toward the University a century ago because other area schools such as the University of Oklahoma and the University of Arkansas would not accept them, Tuttle said in his lecture titled "If These Walls Could Talk; African Americans at KU."
The lecture was part of African-American History Month. Alton Scales, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said the idea of the lecture was to look at African-American history as it pertained to the University.
University. The first African American to graduate from Kansas was Blanche K. Bruce in 1865, Tuttle said. Sherman Harvey, another 19th-century African-American graduate of Kansas, was admitted to the bar. Sherman's brother, Ed Harvey, played on the football
team in 1893.
But the strides these students made faded a couple of decades latter, Tuttle said.
"By 1920, the school was rigidly segregated," Tuttle said. "This sort of hatred had the sanction of the chancellor and the administration."
Tuttle said that students at that time had to pass a swimming test to graduate but that African-American students were not required to take the test, because administration did not want them in the pool. He said African Americans were allowed to swim in the pool once a month, but afterward the pool was drained.
"When the war ended in 1945, there was already a civil rights movement on campus," he said. "Returning vets just added to this."
he said. Returning verbally, In the 1980s, the momentum continued because of Chancellor Franklin Murphy, Tuttle said.
He attributed this change to an open-minded
gamus and returning veterans.
Tuttle said things improved during and after World War II.
"Let's all pull together and make this the place it ought to be," Turtle said.
At the end of his speech, Tuttle urged the crowd to make the University more inclusive.

The lecture is named after J.A. Vickers, an oil industry pioneer in Kansas, and Robert F. Vickers, A.J.'s son, who coordinated the lecture series for more than two decades.
George Bush, Yitzhak Rabin and Sandra Day O'Connor have been featured speakers at the Vickers lecture in the past.
Students, staff to discuss architecture curriculum
"We're just in the process right now." Gaunt said yesterday. "I don't want to hazard a guess when we'll meet, but we'll likely have an open assembly with students and faculty sometime in March."
Faculty members held off on the vote because they wanted more input from students, Gaunt said.
The faculty of the school decided Friday to postpone a vote that would eliminate the five-year undergraduate architecture program and replace it with a six-year program that would result in a master's degree.

Female student received mysterious phone calls
A 21-year-old female KU student received several strange phone messages Friday evening.
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence
police said the woman received 10 collect calls in two hours from the Johnson County Correctional Facility. Her answering machine recorded the calls, which came in between 6 and 8:06 p.m.
The woman said she did not know anyone in that facility. She filed a telephone harassment report with Lawrence police.
All 10 messages were identical:
"This is the Johnson County Correctional Facility. Will you accept a collect call?"
Student received threat of stabbing via e-mail
A 22-year-old male KU student got more than he bargained for when he checked his e-mail Friday afternoon.
Sgt. George Wheeler said the victim received a threatening e-mail between 7 p.m. Thursday and 3 p.m. Friday. The message came from an unknown sender who threatened to stab the victim.
Craig Paul, systems support programmer/analyst for ACS, said yesterday that he did not have any details about the incident but that ACS generally cooperated with police in these types of investigations.
Wheeler said that the message was sent through the University of Kansas e-mail system and that Academic Computing Services would attempt to track the message to its source.
"We can see if it came from our network, and if so, from where," Paul said. "Sometimes we can trace it to a particular account."
Wheeler said that e-mail threats had become more common but that it often was difficult to find the suspects, with all their illusion traps, but they are more
Wheeler said police treated threats sent via e-mail in the same manner as telephone or face-to-face threats.
"They all leave trails, but they are more difficult to track because they generally go through different services," he said.
Even when police are able to pinpoint the account from which the message originated, Wheeler said, their work is not complete. They still must talk to the person whose name is on the account to determine who else may have had access to it.
"It's not a direct face-to-face threat, but if the threat has weight, we take it seriously," he said.

In addition to uncovering the recent $750 donation from the Loral Spacecom Civic Responsibility Fund, the Clinton campaign also found that Giuliani's mayoral campaign committee received $750 from Schwartz in 1993.

Nicotine may be helpful in treating brain diseases
WASHINGTON — Despite its evil image, new research suggests that nicotine is a surprisingly potent drug for a variety of diseases that afflict the brain, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Tourteau's syndrome.
Many small studies during the past decade have explored the possible benefits of this ubiquitous drug. But the field appears to be taking on fresh life as doctors test nicotine patches for neurological diseases in both children and the elderly, and drug companies race to concoct nicotine substitutes that carry fewer side effects
At a conference yesterday, doctors said the field's first gold-study standard — one in which dummy treatments are rigorously compared with the real thing — suggests the patch shows real promise in children with Tourette's syndrome, a strange affliction in which victims are beset by spates of tics, shouted obscenities and violent urges.
Earlier this month, the Giuliani campaign
"The problem with nicotine is that it is nicotine," said Paul R. Sanberg, a doctor at the University of South Florida, who has tested the drug on more than 100 young Tourteau's patients. "You're asking parents to put their kids on nicotine."
He and others experimenting with nicotine described their research at a conference in Washington sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Characters in production lose dreams, imaginations
By BriAnne Hess
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Imagine a person who has no imagination. Now pretend to be that person.
That was the task for Patrick Pugh, Omaha, Neb., junior, who plays the character Frank in the University Theatre production of Fen.
"The whole lack of imagination is hard to relate to — and I have to imagine him having no imagination." Pugh said.
The drama, which opened Feb. 17, will be performed at 8 tonight through Saturday at Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall.
The play is set is in the English countryside 100 miles north of London in an area called the Fens. Becky Lake, Stilwell sophomore, plays Val — a woman torn between Frank, her lover, and her children. Lake said the major conflict was that everyone living in the Fens couldn't see beyond their lives outside of the Fens.
"They've lost the capacity to dream and are content with the status quo." Lake said.
Her character, however, wants to move to London, but Frank balks at the idea.
Lake said she could relate to her character because Val was the only person in the town who was willing to go for what she wanted.
"I find that I choose to do risky things that aren't what everyone else is doing." Lake said. "I like to think I have the ability to define what I want and go after it like she does."
Fen is the first play in which either Pugh or Lake was cast in a major role. The acting bug may have caught, however, because both said they would like to pursue acting as a career instead of their respective business and journalism majors.
Delores Ringer, associate professor of theatre and film, said she suggested the play because she was interested in the theme, the playwright Caryl Churchill and the large number of roles for women in the play.
Casting was in November, and dialect tapes were sent home with the students during the winter break. Pugh said Paul Meier, associate professor of theatre and film, researched the Fen dialect extensively to make the characters sound authentic.
Rehearsals started Jan. 11, and the cast and crew worked six days a week for five hours a day the week before classes started. Rehearsal time then was cut back to four hours a night until it opened. Lake said the rehearsals were intense because cast members had only five weeks to prepare instead of the typical six.
Ringer said the set, which consists of doors, represented the
"I find that I choose to do risky things that aren't what everyone else is doing, I like to think I have the ability to define what I want and go after it like she does."

Stilwell sophomore
doors people went through and the ones people were afraid to go through.
Lake said the play was relevant to students because students always were being confronted with opportunities.
"We're all at a point where we don't know what to do with our lives, and we have so many options — some of which are riskier than others," she said. "We have a lot of doors opened for us, and seeing other people not exercise their options is kind of sad."
Running time for the play is one hour and 40 minutes. General admission tickets are on sale at the box offices in Murphy Hall, the Lied Center and through Student Union Activities. Tickets are $4 for students, $8 for the public and $7 for senior citizens.

Student Senate candidates can learn about Senate's position on campaign spending at a workshop given by the elections commission today.
Election code changes detailed in workshops
Zora Mulligan, elections commissioner, said contracts would be given to independent candidates and candidates running with a coalition.
Although each coalition member will be asked to sign, Mulligan said the commission would monitor spending for a coalition as a whole rather than for the individuals within a coalition.
The workshop, which is at 12:15 p.m. at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union, is one of three workshops offered on the 2000 Student Senate Elections Code. The candidates must attend one of the three workshops in which details of the Elections Code will be explained.
The elections commission agreed with Student Senate that campaign spending limits should be voluntary. When Senate voted last week to make spending limits voluntary, sponsors of the bill cited a University Judicial Board ruling that said limits were unconstitutional. Changes in the Elections Code include clauses that require candidates to comply with spending limits only if they voluntarily sign a contract.
Mulligan said that although last week's hearing on the changes drew little controversy, students expressed interest in other campaign issues, including a requirement that candidates disclose the source of their funds.
"The main concern that came up is we are requiring them to file a report the Monday prior to elections." Mulligan said.
Now, students must project their spending for the couple of days before elections. Before, candidates released their spending information after the elections.
"Senate felt a lot of money was spent during the days prior to the elections," Mulligan said. "I guess the hypothetical concern was that an election could be bought."
However, she said candidates were concerned that it would be difficult to project future spending.
Ben Walker, legislative director,
attended last week's hearing.
"There was the feeling that it was unrealistic, because we never know when we might have a new idea or print off more flies." Walker said.
Another change will require voting booths to open an hour later this year. at 9 a.m.
"Some students might want to vote at that time," Walker said. "With turnout not as high as we want it to be, we want as many to people to vote as can."
But Walker said opening the polls later might not allow some students to vote.
Volunteers offer rides, friendship
By Casey Franklin
Special to the Kansar
Debra Dobbs-Kepper spends most Fridays giving strangers free rides to their medical appointments.
Dobbs-Kepper, Mission graduate student, even waits during their appointments to drive them back home, or wherever they might need to go. She and about 75 other volunteers give these greatly needed free rides as part of Johnson County's Catch-A-Ride program.
Catch-A-Ride offers free rides to senior citizens, people with disabilities and others in need anywhere in Johnson County. It takes clients to places such as doctor appointments, grocery stores or pharmacies.
the elderly.
"We've been in existence for six months," said Barbara Gerhard, volunteer coordinator. "We've driven over 10,000 miles since we started. I think that highlights a basic need in the community."
Gerbard said that there was a lack of transportation options for
"If you can't run out to catch a bus and you've already asked all your friends for rides, there aren't a lot of other options." Gerhard said. "We offer an alternative and a bit of independence to people who would otherwise be isolated."
Doris Freeman, Leawood resident, is one of those clients who would have been isolated if not for Catch.A.Ride. She recently moved to Kansas from Ohio and had no friends or family in the area. Legally blind, Freeman was unable to drive or even go shopping on her own.
"I couldn't ask for anything better than this service," Freeman said. "They'll wait on me at the doctor and take me home, and even fill out the forms you need to at the doctor. They even took me to the grocery store and helped me shop."
Gerhard said that volunteers were important to the program, not just because they could give rides, but also because they could establish relationships with the clients.
"They know that the volunteer isn't going to begrudge their calling, because the volunteers have made themselves available maybe one morning a week to help out." Gerhard said. "They're not a burden anymore. It re-establishes independence. The volunteers help reaffirm the fact that the person is special and important."
Dobbs-Kepper said Catch-A-Ride could be as beneficial to its volunteers as it is to those receiving rides.
"I think it's a great way to get to know people from an older generation," she said.
She said that she enjoyed volunteering for Catch-A-Ride because it allowed her to make a difference in someone's life.
Although the program has grown rapidly since it began, Gerhard said they always were looking for more help. Volunteers must be at least 25 years old with a valid driver's license and a basic insurance policy. Anyone interested in volunteering can reach Gerhard at (913) 583-1970.

Kansan staff writer
Diana Faye Fox may have retired from her position at the University of Kansas last June, but she still is remembered by those with whom she worked.
Fox, 65, died last Wednesday at her home,1041 Wellington Road.
"She was liked and respected by students, faculty and staff," said Karen Huettemueller, assistant director of graduation. "Everyone who came into contact with her had a special bond with her.
"She had an impeccable reputation with everyone."
Fox had worked at the University in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences since 1972. Her most recent position was graduation counselor.
"She coordinated graduation," Huettenmuelter said. "She oversaw all aspects of graduation and the certification of it."
Fox was born Aug. 9, 1934, in Logoootee, Ind., to Porter and Barbara Girdley.
She graduated from the University and lived in Lawrence for 40 years.
Fox's Web page reports that she liked cross-stitching, traveling, foxes, mystery novels and movies.
She is survived by her daughter, Lisa Potts, Caldwell; three sons, Mark Fox, Overland Park; Tim Fox, Des Moines, Iowa; and John Fox, Apache Junction, Ariz.; her father and stepmother, Porter and Esther Girdley, Boonville, Ind.; two brothers, Arch Girdley, Grand Junction, Colo., and Richard Girdley, Boonville, Ind.; and seven grandchildren.

Additional coalition may inject diversity into student elections
This year's Student Senate elections will feature three coalitions instead of two for the first time in several years. Although it is still uncertain whether this will be better or worse than the two-coalition races of the past few years, signs are encouraging so far.
One of the major complaints about the campaigns and candidates of the past has been that they were categorized according to their living organizations.
Candidates with ties to greek organizations tended to draw much of their support from other fraternity or sorority members, while students running in the other coalition often were perceived as wearing their non-greek status as badges of
Third group of candidates could weaken past dichotomy of greeks versus non greeks
honor. This Greek versus non-greek dichotomy usually relied more on stereotypes than on genuine differences.
This year, however, the situation is more complicated. Two of the candidates for student body president are members of fraternities. As more students decide to run for Senate, it almost is certain that diversity among candidates within the same coalition will be far more prevalent than uniformity.
What it may also mean is that rather than relying on personal attacks and stereotypes, the candidates will be forced to study the issues that students care about and construct their platforms accordingly.
form adopted by these coalitions will have to appeal to a variety of constituencies. Gone are the days when a coalition simply could essentially sell itself as the "greek coalition" and expect the votes to come rolling in.
But even if it is too early to tell just how different a three-coalition race will be, if it results in a campaign in which the needs and perspectives of all students are valued, that truly would be a bandwagon worth jumping on.
What this means is that any plat-

U.S. should honor pledge to Taiwan
The United States again is caught in a stare-down with another world superpower. This time it's with China. As relations between China and Taiwan grow increasingly strained, the United States is caught in the tension, as an ally and trading partner to both nations.
The United States needs to honor its pledge to Taiwan and reprimand China.
The alliance between the United States and Taiwan is 50 years old, dating back to the U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty. This treaty was enhanced in 1979 by the Taiwan Relations Act, which states: "Any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means ... (is) of grave concern to the United States." In the treaty, the
A consistent foreign policy requires reprimanding China, aiding Taiwan's military
United States also pledges military support.
As of last fall, China had moved 500 to 600 M-9 and M-11 missiles to its eastern coast, directly across from Taiwan. Now is the time for the United States to come to Taiwan's aid. But there is some confusion as to how this would be done.
the State Department publicly reprimanded him. Even the current proposal to provide four *Aegis* naval missile defense ships has been all but dismissed. The U.S. Senate now seeks to pass the Taiwan Security Enhancement Act. President Clinton has vowed to veto it.
Clearly, the U.S. leadership is divided on the issue in the face of an ever jingoistic China. It should not be. Any attempt to change policy would make it appear that the United States is intimidated by China. In this international stare-down, the reputation of U.S. foreign policy as solid and consistent is on the line. To blink now is to indicate weakness and division — and the United States cannot afford to blink.
Invoking the Taiwan Relations Act last fall, Rear Admiral Dennis Blair said the United States would be justified in providing Taiwan with missile defense systems. The White House and

Perspective
Principled leadership lacking in GOP race
Is it just me or was Alan Keyes the only one making sense in the Republican debate last week? While George W. Bush and John McCain continued to whine worse than my sister and I did in grade school, Keyes was able to insert level-headed perspective into the Republic race.
Although he has no chance of winning the nomination (this cycle anyway), by refusing to bow out, Keyes has done voters a service. He has kept it real, in the James Brown sense of the word. If you missed Larry King's debate, Keyes

Caution columnist
coined by anastasian.com
The two favorites bickered about trivialities. Keyes rightly said that
busn and McCain were "trying to be all things to all people," and when the inevitable bickering ensues, the context gets lost. If you've followed the campaigns, you know just how easy it is to get sucked along on those tangential disputes: Who ran what and when, whose stooges are worse than the other's, who's the outsider and why, blah blah blah ...
If you pull back from the details and look at things in their context — again as Keyes alluded to — you see an election process that is about candidates who put forward their principles as leaders and then must let the election chips fall where they may. Yet if you pull back too far, you easily can lose sight of principles all together. Ideals and politicking blur.
For example, saying you're a reformer — the label that McCain and Bush are fighting for — is neither a principle nor leadership. Back in 1992, Clinton said in his acceptance speech that "the most important thing that we understand here in the heartland of Arkansas is the need to reform the political system (and) to reduce the influence of special interests." (Gold water probably created this platform in 1964).
In fact, as the founding fathers knew, gridlock is the only realistic defense against narrow interests. A principled leader can, for example, say that, unequivocally, abortion is wrong, even if half his or her own party disagrees. Keyes did so Tuesday night. Bush and McCain, instead, tried to appease their base voters while saying things such as, "leave my daughter out of this," to not alienate the opposite end of the spectrum.
Saying you want to end Washington gridlock — as both McCain and Bush do — is likewise devoid of principled leadership. The problem is not that nothing is done in Washington. Just sift through the pages of bills passed by the 105th Congress (www.senate.gov and www.house.gov). Busy work is not a sign of progress.
Why should the most vehemently anti-Clinton folk be saying the same thing eight years later? If it's because Clinton changed 180 degrees in office, would McCain or Bush be any different?
Perhaps principled leadership must be saddled down with qualifications these days. Indeed, these are complex times. But one thing that I've run into time and again talking with and reporting about politicians while in Washington, D.C.: politicians can paint themselves with platitudes in any way that seems favorable at the moment.
Like the mayor in *Nightmare Before Christmas*, many politicians show their good faces to the good guys (voters) and their bad faces to the bad guys (other politicians). The more bickering that goes on for the voters' sake, the more likely it is that they are trying to conceal those bad faces. The eventual flaw of two-faced platitudes is that one leader cannot lead in two different directions at once. Keyes relies on what any candidate should: principled leadership. He is not, in the end, just a P.O.W., a familiar face or an African-American man. He is a leader. No apologies.

U.S. shouldn't let money affect human rights stance
One reason to keep Elian in the United States is the lack of protection of rights in Cuba. Elian should have the opportunity to escape repression by his government and instead remain in the United States, where civil rights are protected more widely.
At first, I didn't understand the hassle about Elian Gonzalez as I watched footage of cars in Miami blocking streets and protests in Cuba. But I soon realized that the issue directly is related to questions of political asylum, and in turn, of human rights. This case will provide a landmark implication about U.S. foreign policy.
U. S. foreign policy makes clear its opinion of Fidel Castro's domination of Cuba through economic embargoes in response to Cuba's human rights abuses. The United States must maintain a consistent foreign policy in regards to human rights in Cuba and elsewhere.

nation of Rights is the focus. A telling example is U.S. foreign policy toward China. The Clinton administration states that it seeks to protect basic rights, but, money talks and overrides certain goals. According to Amnesty International, China has one of the highest rates of human rights abuse in the world.
Yet as the United States seeks to exert its sphere of influence in southeast Asia by trying to promote U.S. ideals, it fails miserably in China. The bottom line is that we heavily rely on China economically, and as a result, the protection of human rights becomes a secondary goal. Although the United States publicly condemns China's child labor abuses, we continue to trade and grant China "Most
States seeking permanent day care. In the case of Elian, it seems that the United States has nothing to lose. Cuba didn't really have anything of value to the United States, except cigars and rum, so the United States can afford condemning Cuba and proclaiming why Elian deserves to stay here.
But just wonder how the United States would react if Cuba was a strong economic partner such as China, and if we needed Cuba for certain services only it could provide. The American public would see an entirely different response to Elian's situation, and he would not receive as much media attention. The situation probably would be put on the back burner as a more low-key issue.
Favored Nation" status each year, allowing the nation to have lower tariffs. The United States ignores obvious human rights abuses, choosing to look the other way while Chinese citizens are not allowed to speak freely. Evidence enough of China's repressive government is that each year a significant number of Chinese flee to the United States seeking political asylum.
The United States once again can be the winner in this mess. By condemning Cuba for its human rights abuses, the United States can be viewed as morally upright and can set an example for other countries that seek to establish hegemony. The United States can at least try to portray that it is attempting to protect people universally.
The United States' coming decision in the Elian case ultimately will be based on an effort to be viewed as morally superior to other nations — nations that might have taken a different course of action because they are motivated simply by greed.
The truth is that Elian, or his mother on his behalf, was seeking political asylum. The United States should recognize Cuba's human rights abuses and should grant Elian asylum. It is hoped that we will maintain a consistent foreign policy by allowing Elian to stay and by re-evaluating, and perhaps becoming more stringent, in our economic relationship with China.

Rights legislation needs local support
As Breeze Luetke-Stahlman foreshadowed in her column Feb. 17, Rigoberta Menchu, human rights defender and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, addressed Guatemalan human rights violations last Friday.
More than 200,000 Guatemalans were killed or simply "disappeared" during the nation's 30-year conflict. Guatemala has asked the U.S. to release documents relating to human rights violations; Honduras also has done so. The United States has had close ties
to both countries, but has not been very forthcoming.
Congress is in a position to bring answers and closure to the families of the deceased or "disappeared" persons by passing the Human Rights Information Act. This bill would release information about human rights violations in Guatemala and Honduras and enable people to learn what happened to their loved ones. In the case of "disappeared" persons, the information may allow the recovery of their remains for forensic examination and a dignified burial. In addition, this bill could help bring human rights criminals

I encourage Lawrence citizens to write to Rep. Dennis Moore and urge him to co-sponsor the Human Rights Information Act (H.R. 1625). Unfortunately, Menchu and members of her family experienced these abuses firsthand; the legislation will help bring reconciliation and justice to Guatemala and Honduras and will help create a process for other international human rights investigations.

Fox cancels rebroadcast
Fox cancels Millionaire accused of hitting ex-fiancee
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Fox canceled the rebroadcast of its highly rated special Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire? after learning that the groom, Rick Rockwell, once was accused of hitting and threatening to kill an ex-girlfriend.
"In light of that new information, the network feels that to rebroadcast the special would be inappropriate, and consequently we have removed it from our schedule," the network said in a statement Sunday.
The cancellation was ordered by Fox Television Network chairman Sandy Grushow.
The repeat was to air tonight, a week after Rockwell, a real estate investor and motivational speaker, chose a bride from a group of 50 women he had never met. The two-hour special drew a huge audience. Viewership grew from 10 million viewers in the program's first half hour to an enormous 22.8 million in the final half-hour.
Rockwell, 42, and his new wife, emergency room nurse Darva Conger, 34, had been scheduled to return from their Caribbean cruise honeymoon Sunday night and were unavailable for comment.
But Fox contacted Rockwell, and he con
firmed a restraining order had been issued against him nine years ago, The New York Times reported yesterday.
Rockwell denied the accusations, CBS News reported today.
"Relationships have ups and downs but getting physical, for me, is not an option." Rockwell told CBS.
On Saturday, the Web site TheSmokingGun.com posted court records filed against Rockwell by Debbie Goyne, who described herself as his former fiancee. She said she lived with Rockwell for more than 18 months.
Goyne's 1991 petition accuses Rockwell of shoving and slapping her, twice entering her home without permission and vandalizing her car after she broke off their engagement.
"Recently, he said he would find me and kill me," her court papers claimed.
A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge issued a restraining order prohibiting Rockwell from coming within 100 yards of Goyne for six months.
Goyne could not immediately be reached for comment.
The documents listed Goyne's Redondo Beach address from nine years ago. But a phone listed to a D. Goyne in Redondo Beach was not in service today.
Fox said it checked out Rockwell's financial records and determined he was worth at least $2 million.
FRANKFURT, Germany — It's not easy

German company acquires Henson's famous Muppets
The Associated Press
Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy are becoming the latest American icons to go German, following in the footsteps of Chrissler Corp. and Random House.
Munich-based media company EM.TV and Merchandising is buying the Jim Henson Co. for $680 million in cash and stock, giving it exclusive rights to such fuzzy critters as Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Bert and Ernie, and the scraggly green furball, Oscar the Grouch.
"We are a strong believer in brands," said Florian Haffa, deputy chairman of EM.TV, yesterday. "With the Jim Henson Company, you don't get bigger internationally recognized brands than Kernit the Frog and Miss Piggy."
The deal, in the works for several months, also seals ownership of some of the world's best loved children's shows including Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Jim Henson's Muppet Babies and Fraggle Rock, not to mention a string of Muppet films.
Sesame Street, first broadcast in 1969, is seen in 140 countries.
The buyout also will give EM.TV rights to more than 5,000 licensed Muppet products that have hit toy stores during the last 10 years. That includes the talking-and-laughing Tickle Me Elmo doll and more than 30 million Muppet books sold in 45 countries.
EM.TV hasn't been the only German company to expand its market share overseas through corporate takeovers. Besides Daimler-Benz, which acquired Chrysler Corp. in 1998 to help penetrate the American market, German media giant Bertelsmann bought the No. 1 U.S. publisher Random House that same year.
Jim Henson, creator and alter-ego of Kermit the Frog and scores of other Muppet characters, founded his self-named company in 1958, inventing the term "muppet" as a cross between the words marionette and puppet. Kermit was known for singing songs such as "Bein' Green."
Jim Henson Co. had been run by Henson's son and daughter and chief operating officer Charles H. Rivkin since Henson's death in 1990.

New Cajun restaurant to replace Jupiter Deli
Paisano's owner plans to offer southern food
By BriAnne Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Jupiter Deli and Bar will be transformed into an old swamp shack this spring.
Kent Bigham, Topeka resident and owner of Paisano's Ristorante, 2112 W. 25th St., bought the restaurant from owner/manager Sean Gerrity when the restaurant closed in late December. Bigham took possession of the building on Feb. 1 and said he hoped to reopen in early April.
Bigham said he was going to change the concept of the restaurant from upscale delicatessen to a Cajun bar and grill. Old barn siding and tin will replace pale-colored walls. The planets suspended from the ceiling also will go.
Gerrity said he planned to stay in the restaurant business but didn't want to comment on future plans.
Benton Kelly, St. Louis senior, said she had enjoyed going to Jupiter, 3300 W. 15th St., because of the wide variety of items offered there. She said that she was surprised the deli closed but that the specialized menu at Jupiter might not have appealed to a lot of people.
"That kind of quirkiness would have fit better in downtown rather than in a strip mall." Kelly said.
The decor will come from torn-down barns near Brownell, a small

town in Ness County.
Bigham said that his marketing staff still was working on a name for the new eatery but that nothing was definite yet. One possibility is The Bayon Grill.
He said he had been experimenting with ideas for a Cajun or barbecue restaurant for a while, and chose that concept because the closest Cajun restaurant was in the Kansas City area.
"I thought it was something Lawrence might need or might not," Bigham said. "We'll find out."
Bigham said the restaurant would emphasize fresh seafood and offer the typical Cajun offerings of gumbo, etouffee and oysters on the half-shell.
Offering Cajun fare to the Lawrence community is not the only reason Bigham decided to change the concept. He said Cajun food was one of his own personal favorites.
Researching Cajun food in Louisiana has been one of the perks of opening the restaurant. This weekend, Bigham will make another run south to gather more ideas for Cajun dishes.
"We have an RV we take hunting," Bigham said. "We're heading south to go through all the parishes."
A parish is a county in Louisiana. He said he planned to offer live bluegrass and Cajun music on Friday and Saturday nights at the restaurant.

KU students will receive a 25 percent discount at the eatery, like the discount offered at Paisano's, Bigham said.

quick, name one thing that the Jayhawks found in their 53-50 victory against Oklahoma on Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said the answer was simple. His team found its competitiveness.
"The biggest thing is that we competed." Williams said after Kansas improved to 19-7 overall and 8-4 in the Big 12. "We were fighting like crazy on the offensive backboards.
There was no cheating going on in the Jayhawk ranks on Sunday. Kansas competed so well, in fact, that Williams said he didn't have to yell at the team once for not getting back on defense or not fighting through screens.
That was a stark contrast to last Wednesday's game against Iowa State, when the Jayhawks lost their composure
I told the players) that they better not risk one possession. If they rested on one play, I told them that they were cheating everybody on the team and me."
down the stretch in a 64-62 home loss. Williams said after that defeat, he showed his players 10 or 15 plays from the game film where they needed more effort.
"We competed about 85 percent of the time against Iowa State," Williams said. "But we'll learn how hard you can play, and how you'll be rewarded by doing so."
Kansas was rewarded yesterday in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. Despite losing one of two games last week, the Jayhawks moved up one spot to No. 23.
Moving up is also something that the Jayhawks want to do in the Big 12 Conference standings. Although the Jayhawks still are mathematically in the race for the conference crown, Williams concedes that it is going to be difficult to capture the title.
capture the title
The Jayhawks are tied for fifth place with Oklahoma in the Big 12 standings and are two games out of first with four games remaining. Iowa State, Texas, Oklahoma State and Missouri currently are in the top four spots.
Kansas' remaining schedule includes a game tomorrow at Nebraska, a home game on Saturday against Baylor, a road game against Texas and a home game against
Missouri.
Kansas notes
"We've got some teams coming up that we're going to play that are ahead of us," said Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich. "If we take care of business, we might have a shot."
Kansas notes
■ Freshman forward Drew Gooden said that Kansas' free-throw woes down the stretch against Oklahoma could be contributed to nervousness. The Jayhawks missed seven-of-eight free throws in the last three minutes of the game.
"We had been losing so many games that everybody was so anxious to put the free throws in," Gooden said. "It was just mental. We were about to beat Oklahoma and it gets in your mind at the line."
■ Williams said that yesterday's practice and today's practice would help decide who would start against Nebraska tomorrow. Against Oklahoma, Williams took Gooden out of the starting lineup and replaced him with senior forward Ashante Johnson.
Williams said that the change wasn't necessarily a ringing endorsement of Johnson. It was based more on the fact that Gooden wasn't performing well in practice.

Crider struggles with limited play

Hostile fans don't ruffle Jayhawks
Rod Kirschner still talks about the Kansas state basketball tournament in the spring of 1998.
But Kirschner didn't look back in anger at the storm that might have cost his team and current Kansas Javahawk John Crider the state title.

“It's the same thing with his recruiting,” he says. “We said all along that if he was meant to go down [to Kansas], then that's going to happen. And if he wasn't, then he wasn't going to get an offer and he'd have several other places to choose from. That's the way we've approached the whole thing.”
The coach of the 1998 Kansas high school player of the year is a big believer in fate. And he believes fate is exactly what brought his star player to Kansas two years ago.

Considering the Jayhaws' road experiences this season, sticks and stones may break their bones, but names will never hurt them.
And that's just a sample of what Kansas hears, or tries not to, when it plays on the road.
Tomorrow night the 'Hawks will travel to Missouri's Hearnes Center, a place known by most Kansas students for emotional, physical battles between the Jayhawks and Tigers' men's basketball teams.
Ask Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington if the Border War is as intense for her team as it is for the men's team, and she'll give a quick answer
"Yes. Maybe not for as many people, but yes," she said.
And although her team was rattled by Texas Tech's fans and lost 76-56 on Jan. 22, it has learned how to deal with similar adversities.
Last Wednesday, unranked Kansas stormed into Ames, Iowa, and shocked No. 10 Iowa State 79-71, ending its 26-game home winning streak. A crowd of 9,370 fans at the Cyclones' Hilton Coliseum tried its best to ruffle the Jayhawks' feathers, but to no avail.
Ask junior point guard Jennifer Jackson, who was called "spaz" by the Iowa State student section. Jackson dished four assists and made four steals in comparison to only three turnovers in that game.
"I think one of the hardest places to play in is where there's not necessarily a hostile crowd but a place where there's no people at all. You get no energy."
"I think this team showed a lot going into Iowa State and playing the way that we did," she said. "It's fun to go into a place where the fans are in it and there's a big crowd.
Junior forward Jaclyn Johnson revealed the team's strategy that helps it perform against rude and hostile crowds on the road.
"Before the game Coach [Lynette] Woodard was like, 'Think of them as cheering for you,' so when they got up we said, 'Thank you. We've got 9,000 people cheering for us.' Their crowd was no factor," Johnson said.
So if the Tigers fans get nasty tomorrow night, it will be nothing new for Kansas, which returned to the Associated Press poll at No. 25 this week.
"Anybody who's been to Iowa State and has played there, with their fans, who were really rude to us, can overcome anything — any type of crowd," Pride said.

Coach nearing 100-win milestone
Rhythm, momentum necessary for victory
By Amanda Kashube
sports@kansan.com
Kansas swimmer
Baseball coach Bobby Randall is one triumph shy of hitting the 100-win milestone at Kansas -- but to reach the plateau, consistency will be key.
The Jayhawks, 6-1, have struggled to find their rhythm in most of the games. The 'Hawks racked up 20 hits and 20 runs one day and produced only one run the next.
However, there are a few players who have found their tempos amidst the inconsistencies.
"We're getting there, but there are some missing links," he said. "We're not playing to our
Senior designate hitter and team captain Shane Wedd is one. In his 19 at bats, he has reached base seven times, and has recorded five RBIs. Overall, he said the team still was trying to achieve its pace.
Last season, Kappelmann had 59 hits in 183 at bats, leading the Hawks in batting average and doubles. But in five games this year, he has connected only five times.
The newcomers, including junior Doug Breher, have filled in for the many injured 'Hawks, most notably, senior Brett Kappelmann, who missed two games against Southwest Missouri State last weekend because of a sprained ankle. Kansas lost one of those games.
Fortunately, utility-man Dreher has stepped up in a big way. He was named Big 12 Conference player of the week earlier this month for his performance against UT-San Antonio, highlighted by 10 hits
potential. It's encouraging, though, that we are able to put up numbers without the key guys stepping up."

"We need to get up and get ready early," Dreher said. "We need to go on a roll."
Sophomore Ryan Klocksien has been one of the go-to-players for Kansas — he's reached base nine times in 24 at bats, the third highest on the team. He said the 'Hawks needed to think positive to regain their consistency.
in three games. He said the 'Hawks had to keep their swinging momentum up to become consistent.
But the only way the 'Hawks can go on a hitting spree is to keep hitting away.
"We need to at least give ourselves a chance to win every game," he said. "We're capable of being a winning team."
One way to keep the players on their toes is to have a merit-based lineup — Randall has said that the starting lineup would change, depending on day-to-day performances.
"The good news is depth has been our key," he said. "We're trying to find ourselves offensively. We need to come out and establish a good brand of baseball. We got to hit well."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 22). This should be a creative year for you. Learn how to make the most of your talents. Follow through on something you've always wanted to do in March. Launch a savings program in April. Accept the order and then learn how to make it in May. The more you practice, the better you'll get. Your work is cut out for you in August, and by October, you'll be ready to learn a new skill. Work hard and master your trade by December to get the big bucks. Start planning your next project in late January.
Aries: Today is a 7.
You sometimes feel like the Lone Ranger, but that's not the case now. You won't be able to do the job all by yourself. You're going to have to work with another person, and that could be a challenge. You, however, are great at challenges.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You have a full plate. You have a lot of phone calls to make, letters to write and ideas to express. Don't be dismayed if the others don't understand your importance yet. It'll all come, in due time.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
You are lucky today, and you communicate well.
That's something of a rarity since Mercury's retrograde. During this phase, most people have problems with communication. That's where you come in. Mercury is the sign of the messenger, remember!
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You'll experience some stress, confusion and perhaps even some consternation. An unexpected development takes you by surprise, and you're not the only one. Your hunch may help you lead the others through the confusion and into tranquility.
Leo: Today is a 6.
You get more attention than usual. This could lead to an advance in your career. This might mean you'll have to go back to school, but that's OK. You may have to memorize a whole new set of rules and regulations, too. Oh, goodie, right?
Virao: Today is a 7.
Work and serving others are major themes now. This is a good phase for making money. The bad news is nobody will tell you what to do. You have to come up with the ideas and to take the initiative on your own. Hmmm. Maybe that's good news, too
Libra: Today is a 7.
You're creative, popular and good with games. There are still big difficulties, but don't worry. Just be extra careful, that's all. Don't be afraid to let an expert check your papers before you hand them in. That's an old trick, but it could work.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Saittarius: Today is a 6.
It's time to do some planning, which is good.
That's one of your natural talents. Don't let anything get by you. Be responsible not only for what you're supposed to be doing, but for what everybody else is supposed to be doing, too. Do this, and your team will win.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Somebody in a position of authority thinks you're pretty cute. Consequently, this is not a bad time to ask for a raise or some other favor. It will be relatively easy to make a good impression. Provide something this other person needs, and you will.
Instead of staying home tonight, go out. Being around a group of compatible characters could be good for you. You'll contribute a lot to the effort, and you may discover your tendencies for natural leadership are blossoming. Enjoy.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
A
Today you're probably feeling more calm, less anxious and less stressed. Travel should be easier, too. You could make contact with an interesting for eigner, to your mutual benefit. So, stretch. Go beyond the edge as you previously knew it.

Pisces: Today is a 6.

Mercury has just gone retrograde in your sign. This can cause misunderstandings, so take care. It'll be in effect for a couple of weeks. Use this time to do filing and to finish up old projects, rather than start new ones, starting now.

BASEBALL
Griffey welcomed to Cincinnati camp
SARASOTA, Fla. — Ken Griffey Jr. could have done without the superstar treatment — the dugout news conference, the golf cart ride, the photo shoot on a balcony.
His new team couldn't give him enough of it.
The Cincinnati Reds formally welcomed Griffey to spring training yesterday, a day after he slipped unannounced into the clubhouse to
unpack his belongings and report to his new team.
That was more to his liking than the front-and-center treatment he got yesterday. About 150 reporters and photographers were on hand, following his every move.
SCORPIUS
Griffey said he was nervous, felt out of place and wished he could have been treated like just one of the guys.
"I just figured I'd sneak into the locker room without being noticed and go onto the field and that's it," Griffey said. "I didn't have any idea there would be this many people and cameras here."
Match Play tournament to begin tomorrow
GOLF
CARLSBAD, Calif. — After a week at Sun Valley, Davis Love III traded in his snowboard for golf clubs yesterday to prepare for what he hopes will be a long week in the Match Play Championship.
Love is among the 64 top players in the world who will register at La Costa Resort for the $5 million tournament. By tomorrow, he could be one of 32 players who check out.
— in the world ranking who lost in the first round.
That's what happened a year ago, when Love was among five of the top seven — and 12 of the top 20
"It felt a lot worse than missing a cut," he said. "You get all excited about the tournament, and the next thing you know you're going home."
the next thing you know you're going home."
As the Match Play proved last year, first-round matchups are no pushovers. The line between No. 1 and No. 64 is pretty thin, and it gets even thinner during 18 holes of match play. Last year, No. 24 Jeff Maggert took home the $1 million prize with a 38th-hole victory against Andrew Magee, the 50th seed.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR has heard the complaints and will head to the wind tunnel to test its cars.
The decision comes with General Motors teams gripping and the Daytona 500 producing only four on-track passes for the lead in 200 laps.
NASCAR
Even before Dale Jarrett led a topfive sweep by Ford on Sunday, the Chevrolet and Pontiac teams contended that aerodynamics left them at a disadvantage.
Kevin Triplette, NASCAR's operations director, said yesterday the sanctioning body was trying to reserve testing time at Lockheed's wind tunnel in Marietta, Ga.
NASCAR will send cars for wind tunnel tests
NASCAR measured horsepower on six cars after the race, then impounded three of them. Jarrett's Taurus, the Grand Prix of eight-place finisher Ward Burton and the Monte Carlo of 16th-place Mike Skinner will go to the wind tunnel.
Denver Broncos tackle gets contract extension
FOOTBALL
DENVER — Denver Broncos left tackle Tony Jones won't be following in the footsteps of Shannon Sharpe, Neil
Smith and Alfred Williams. He has finalized a seven-year contract extension worth $34.5 million. "I'm very thrilled." Jones
said Saturday in an interview with the Denver Rocky Mountain News. "I'm glad to finish my career there, glad the organization put their trust in me to give me that kind of deal."
Jones' future with the Browns was uncertain as the franchise wrestled with the salary cap. Sharpe signed with the Baltimore Ravens last week after failing to reach an agreement with Denver.
The Broncos cut veteran defensive ends Williams and Smith to meet salary-cap requirements.
Jones was due a $1.5 million roster bonus last week as part of his old contract, which was in its last year. The new agreement would give the Broncos some room under the salary cap, and Jones would get a signing bonus spread throughout the length of the new contract.
Jones, 33, was acquired from Baltimore in 1997 and is entering his 13th year in the NFL.
Runner sets record, finishes season early
TRACK AND FIELD
But Wilson Kipketer finished his indoor program early, and he's taking some time off before he concentrates on the Olympics in September.
BIRMINGHAM, England — Not many track athletes celebrate a second world record in two weeks with wine, cognac and a cigar.
Archery
The Kenya-born middle distance star, who runs for Denmark, shaved .29 seconds off the indoor world 1,000-meter mark he set at Stuttgart two weeks ago when he was clocked at 2 minutes, 14.96 seconds Sunday at the CGU Indoor Grand Prix meet at the National Indoor Arena.
It was his last indoor race of the season.
"I won't run at the European Indoo Championship because it's a very long season," he said. "I'm finished now. Two world records. I'm going to celebrate with a little wine, a cognac and a cigar."

Four television stations covered the event, and Crider's mom thanked the town for its support. The Horton city commission even proclaimed it "John Crider" day.
"You've heard about my day, right," said Crider last week, as he shook his head and looked sheepish down at his shoes. "That kind of stuff, I don't really need. It's nice, but I just play basketball. I wasn't any different than anybody doing well in something else."
But how much influence did his town and family have on Crider going to Kansas — a school already packed with talent and a system he didn't necessarily fit into?
"I think they probably had a lot," Kirshner says. "I think a lot of people felt that had always been his dream and that's where he needed to go if he had that opportunity. Now it's a lot easier to sit back and say he had this opportunity or that one."
This season, on Feb. 3, he had an up-close reminder of one of those opportunities when the Jayhawks faced the Iowa Hawkeyes in Iowa City, Iowa, which is coached by Steve Alford. Two years ago, Alford was at Southwest Missouri State where he had recruited Crider.
— until he received the offer from Kansas.
Crider said Alford had told him early in the spring of 1998 that he might be leaving Southwest Missouri State in the near future and that Crider could transfer with him wherever he went. That is just what Crider intended to do until he received the offer from
"People always say it was my dream to play at Kansas," Crider says. "It kind of was, but I'd have gone someplace else. It wasn't KU or nothing. I just wanted to play D-I basketball. That was my dream."
Alford wasn't Crider's only option. Oklahoma's Kelvin Sampson came to Horton in the spring of '88, and when he heard Crider didn't have an offer, faxed him one the next day. Then offers came from Tulsa, Kansas State, Missouri, Iowa State and a laundry-list of others.
Utah coach Rick Majerus' recruiting trip to Horton was postponed when the Utes made the NCAA Final Four and eventually was canceled when Crider signed with Kansas.
"The thing that we go back and look at is that there was so many Division I programs that felt he could be a player at that level," Kirschner says. "A couple of them thought he had the potential to be an NBA player."
So why is a player who was
thought to have so much potential relegated to the bench?
"I don't think he's progressed enough to beat out Jeff Boschee or Kirk Hinrich or Kenny Gregory, who all play his position," said Kansas coach Roy Williams, who was quoted in Kansas City Sports and Fitness as saying Crider was a 'guard package without guard skills.'
Williams said playing time wasn't the only thing Crider should consider.
"If I was getting a quality education at Kansas on a scholarship, I would consider myself pretty lucky," he said.
Evidently, Crider is taking Williams' advice. According to Kirschner, Dave, Crider's father, was pleased to hear his son talking about buckling down on his studies.
But Crider said he had no plans of taking fate into his own hands and transferring to another school, although he admitted he has had second thoughts about his decision to come to Kansas.
"I've thought, 'well what if I had gone somewhere else?'" Crider said. "But I can't live in the past. I just got to keep working with what I've got here. Sometimes I think it would have been different, but it didn't work out that way. I've just got to keep working hard here."

Baylor coach to retire this season
The Associated Press
WACO, Texas — Sonja Hogg, the outspoken coach who revived Baylor's struggling women's basketball program and led the Lady Bears to their first postseason appearance in 17 years, is retiring after the worst of her six seasons at Baylor.
The outspoken Hogg. 82-88 at Baylor, once was reprimanded for comments she made about officiating.
Hogg's surprise decision, effective at this season's end, followed a 6-17 season. The coach told team members and four incoming recruits Sunday night that she was leaving.
"It's been a fun run, but some people don't know when to get off the train." Hogg said in yesterday's edition of the Waco Tribune Herald.
Last in the Big 12 Conference with a 1-12 record, the Lady Bears beat Oklahoma State Feb. 15, 71-60, to end an 11-game losing streak — their longest in a decade.
However, Hogg, 54, said she wasn't leaving the game because of the worst losing streak in her 17-year college career.
"Sometimes the good Lord gives you a little nudge and says, 'This might be the
time,"" she said. "It's been a gut-wrenching decision, but it's not about winning and losing ballgames, I assure you."
Hogg, who won 307 games and an NCAA
Hogg, who won title in 11 years at Louisiana Tech, came to Baylor in 1994 and assumed leadership of a program that had endured 10 consecutive losing seasons under coach Pam Bowers.
Although the Lady Bears were 13-14 and 11-19 in her first two years — Baylor's last in the Southwest Conference — they improved to 15-13 in 1996-97, and 7-9 in their Big 12 debut.
Big Laundry.
"I have so much respect for her and the things she's done for women's basketball," said Texas Tech coach Marsha Marsha. "If you look back on some of the personalities who were so instrumental in taking women's basketball to a different level.
"The things she did at Louisiana Tech and the excitement she brought to Baylor will be a great legacy for her. It's a loss to our sport."
Sonia has to be included in that group.
Tom Stanton, Baylor athletics director,
said Hogg had built a solid foundation that
the school could build upon.
"This is a sad day for Baylor women's basketball because we have lost one of the true pioneers in the profession," Stanton said. "I respect and support Sonja's decision."
Stanton said Hogg had accepted a position in Baylor's development office. She held a similar position at the University of Texas from 1988-90.
At Louisiana Tech. Hogg led the Lady Techsters to six straight Final Four appearances, including consecutive national championships in 1981 and 1982.
Last year, Big 12 Commissioner Kevin Weiberg reprimanded Hogg for comments she made about officiating in a loss against Oklahoma State. Hogg had said after the loss, "You don't call an intentional foul in a one-point ballgame when someone's going after the ball and somebody falls down."
Missouri freshman among talented crop of newcomers
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kareem Rush has talent. Just wait until Missouri's freshman smoothie gets an attitude.
That's the way Quin Snyder sees it after a couple of sensational games that earned Rush Big 12 Conference newcomer-of-the-week honors.
The Associated Press
"He really does have a calm demeanor," said Snyder. "That's the knock on him, too. I'm encouraging him to play with more emotions."
The 6-foot-6 Rush spent his life playing in the shadow of his older brother JaRon Rush, who enrolled at UCLA two years ago. But now Kareem seems to be coming into his own, and people are wondering if he, not JaRon, is the family's biggest talent.
In victories last week at Texas Tech and Kansas State, Rush averaged 25 points per game, including an eye-popping 68.3 percent from the three-point line.
Putting more emotion into his game will help the still-developing kid raise his game to a much higher level. Snyder said.
Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton was impressed with the freshman sharpshooter.
sneeze. "He's definitely one of the bright young players we have in college basketball," he said.
The Big 12 is briing with outstanding freshmen. Kansas has Drew Gooden, Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison, all who have started. And, among the others is Texas A&M's Bernard King who leads all conference freshmen in scoring.

A&M Coach Melvin Watkins said he knew King would have no

King would have no trouble adjusting to college.
"We've asked him to be a scorer and a leader, and that's quite a big assignment to ask of a freshman," King said. "He's been amazing that way."

Stanford back on top after Cincinnati loss
The Associated Press
Stanford is back at No. 1, the fourth change at the top this season in The Associated Press college basketball poll.
Stanford held the top spot for three weeks earlier this season. Its return yesterday came a day after Cincinnati's six-week run at No. 1 ended, along with its 16 game winning streak after a 77-69 loss to Temple.
The Cardinal (22-1),ranked No. 2 last week, routed California 101-50 Saturday,the Bears' worst loss in school history.
When Stanford received the top ranking in the Dec. 20 poll, it replaced Cincinnati and earned its first No. 1 ranking. The Cardinal stayed there until its only loss of the season. 68-65 to Arizona on Jan. 8.
Stanford received all but one of the 70 first place votes and 1,749 points from the national media panel this week. Duke (21-3) moved up on one.
place to No. 2, its highest ranking of the season, with 1,622 points.
Cincinnati (24-2) dropped to third, while Arizona (23-4), which had the only other first-place vote, remained fourth after beating Southern California and UCLA last week.
Michigan State and Ohio State each moved up one place to fifth and sixth. Tennessee, which lost at Vanderbilt last week, dropped two spots to seventh.
Florida and Oklahoma State rounded out the Top 10.
Temple, which has won 11 straight games, jumped from No. 15 to No. 8 following road wins against Dayton and Cincinnati. It's the Owls' highest ranking since they were fifth in the second poll of the regular season.
MEN'S TOP 25
Temple's jump from No. 15 to No. 8 was the biggest of the week, while Indiana's fall from No. 10 to No. 16 was the biggest drop. The Hoosiers lost their only game last week, 82-71 to Ohio State Saturday.

Kansas back into poll after Iowa State win
The Associated Press
Connecticut remained a solid No. 1 yesterday in The Associated Press women's basketball poll, while Texas Tech and Duke both made big jumps in returning to the Top 10.
Kansas returned to the poll at No. 25, the second time this season the Jayhawks came back in the week after they fell out.
Connecticut (24-1), just three weeks away from a season-long run atop the poll, received 34 of 45 first-place votes from a national media panel after decisive victories against St. John's and Syracuse.
The Huskies had 1,110 points in the voting — 50 more than No.2 Tennessee.
Tennessee (23-3) received three first-place votes, and third-ranked Georgia (26-2) was voted No. 1 on eight ballots.
Fifth-ranked Notre Dame (23-2)
not a big win in overtime at
Rutgers on Saturday and owns the longest Division I winning streak at 19.
Texas Tech jumped five places to seventh after beating Oklahoma and creating a four-way tie for first in the Big 12.
Texas Tech (21-3), which was sixth in the Dec. 27 poll, dropped to 16th after starting 0-2 in the Big 12 but has won 10 of its last 11. Duke (21-4) has bounced back from a two-game losing streak to win three straight, the latest a 76-64 victory against North Carolina State.
Oklahoma was beaten by Texas before losing to Texas Tech and tumbled from 18th to 24th.

Kansas, which dropped out last week following a loss at Nebraska, returned after beating Iowa State and Kansas State. A victory against Iowa State also got the Jayhawks back into the poll after they dropped out the first time in late January.

Spring Break!
You've been lugging books and stress around all semester. Now's the time to lighten the load and take a break...Spring Break, that! Spring Break is definitely a great stress-buster and the best party ever! More friends, fun (hopefully, sun) and guys than you can imagine! To help get ready for the college experience of a lifetime, here are some helpful! tips (from someone with personal experience) that will get you off to Spring Break 2000 and out on the beach as fast and fabulously as possible!
Cardinal Rule #1: At all costs, do NOT over pack! Have you ever lugged a heavy bag with a sunburn?
What You MUST Bring:
✓ 2 bathing suits to add some pizazz and to always have one that's dry.
Sunglasses, cool hat and lots of suntan lotion
(Banana Boat® sunblock is my personal favorite because it comes in a variety of SPFs and smells great.) Remember, a burn on the beach means no more fun in the sun.
2 to 3 pair of shoes - Definitely bring cool sandals for cruising the beach and a comfy set of walking shoes so you can hit the board-walk...
A stash of tampons - Just in case! (As a tip, try Playtex* Tampons. They're perfect for packing and really are so comfortable you can't even feel them.)
Sundresses are a great space saver and look awesome on the beach during the day or out on the town at night. The perfect excuse to show off a tan!

Don't torture yourself
On to the good stuff... a Camera to record the memories and something to play your favorite tunes on the beach. - Remember to buy extra film and batteries BEFORE you leave...
Of course it won't rain, but bring a deck of cards - just in case.
The basics: travel-size soap, shampoo, lotion,
toothpaste and razor - Pack in plastic to avoid
gross surprises at the other end when you
unpack. (Throw a couple of Wet Ones*
Singles moist towelettes in for you and your
friends. You'll find a million uses for them - at
the beach, after lunch and to wipe that suntan
lotion off of your hands.)
[ ]
Your heavy-duty hair dryer - Check with friends and vote for one person (whoever has the smallest) to lug it.
Laptop, or any other expensive electronic equipment. Sand, sun and sea air will wreak havoc, and tempt theives. Why risk it?
One credit card (and only one) for emergencies. (What if the cash machine doesn't work?)
Your entire CD collection. Grab a few of your favorites and hope you like your friends' choice in music too.
leave it at home;
X
X
Too much make-up. It will melt in all that sun - and anyway, the natural look is in.
Text books! Intentions are always good, but a good paperback is much more practical to pack and won't scare anybody on the beach.
X
SPRING BREAK 2000, HERE YOU COME! ENJOY!
Last but not least. Leave your boyfriend, your ex, or your current love interest behind. There's plenty of fun to find on the beach. Keep your options open!

Student wins battle against cancer, urges regular exams
By Warisa Chulindra writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
When Eric Overstreet, Maize junior, returned to the University of Kansas this semester, he returned with a scar on his chest from three months of chemotherapy and bumps on his arms from all the blood tests he's had. He recently got his first haircut since August, which he considers a milestone.
But a spot on his lung remains.
Overtrest has testicular cancer.
He gets a blood test every month and a CAT scan every three months. Next month if the spot is not gone, he will undergo minor surgery to have it removed.
Testicular cancer accounts for 1 percent of cancer in men, but it is the most common type of cancer among men between the ages of 15 and 35, said Debbie Bayer, of the cancer information service at the National Cancer Institute.
She said men with an undescended testicle, a testicle that has never moved down into the scrotum, are at a higher risk of having testicular cancer. In 1999, an estimated 7,000 men in
the United States were diagnosed with testicular cancer, and 300 died from it, according to the American Cancer Society.
Overstreet began having back pains in May. He thought it was from his mattress, but the pain got worse.
"Once he said, 'hmm,' I knew it was bad news," Overstreet said.
The morning testicular cancer was diagnosed. Overstreet had surgery to remove the
At the end of July, he discovered a lump in his testicle. He went to the doctor, who thought it was nothing. Then the results of the sonogram came back.
SIGNS OF TESTICULAR CANCER
Enlargement of the testicle
Significant loss of size in one testicle A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum Dull noise in lower
Laughing, he added, "And it's an excuse to feel yourself up."
"The first of the month I always tell my friends to spend an extra 5 to 30 minutes in the shower examining their testicles," he said. "It's kind of sad because people find it embarrassing to talk about, but it's something that's really important, and every guy our age should do it. I don't want anyone else to go through it."

Overstreet said aside from his hearing being affected by the chemotherapy, he felt great.

- Pain or discomfort in the testicles or scrotum

Sudden collection of fluid in scrotum
Testicular cancer has three stages. In the first stage, the cancer is in the testicle only. The second stage occurs when it has spread to the lymph nodes in the abdomen. The third stage is when the cancer has spread as far as the lungs and the liver. Overstreet had testicular cancer in early stage three.
Enlargement or tenderness of breasts
"I felt like a pinball," he said. "It happened so fast that I didn't have time to feel bad about it. If I hadn't caught it when I did, I could be dead now."
His friends said they had heard about testicular cancer, but in older men.
"It was a huge shock when one of my friends got it at age 20," said Nathan Stange, Wichita junior. "I didn't really think that it could strike people our age."
"The good thing, if anything, is if it occurs, it is treated effectively 90 percent," he said. "If there's pain, and it doesn't go away, it needs to be checked out."
Treatment depends on the type of testicular cancer. The two types are seminomas and nonseminomas. The options are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. Seminomas is highly sensitive to radiation, and nonseminomas is less sensitive to radiation. Seminomas is the most common type of cancer. Men who have the tumor removed can still father children.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said early detection was important.

New cable rates begin in April; prices linked to channel bulk
By John Audelaheim
Kansas staff writer
write@kansan.com
Cable rates will be going up or down, depending on how many channels customers want.
Starting April 1, Sunflower Cablevision will provide 27 channels for $19.95 or 64 for $29.95. The rates will change from the price of $25.95 for 64 channels.
Patrick Knorr, general manager of Sunflower, notified the city commission last night of the change.
"Rate increases are never something any of us enjoy," he said.
Sunflower will offer the two options so customers do not have to pay for channels they do not want.
City Commission
The 64-channel option will have channel 73 devoted to the University of Kansas and carry Cartoon Network and MTV. The cheaper option will not.
"I think that helps make the other increases a little easier to take," he said.
Commissioner David Dunfield said he appreciated the new choice.
Mayor Erv Hodges said residents had called asking why the rates were increasing so much.
Knorr said Sunflower needed to increase the rate because its cost of programming had increased more than 20 percent in the last two years.
David Corliss, director of legal services for the city, said the city was not responsible for regulating the rates, only for leasing the land the cable ran through.
He said that Sunflower was not a monopoly and that any other company could come in and make a proposal.
Norrr said Sunflower was replacing much of the old copper-wire cable system with fiber-optic cable, allowing the company to provide more channels and more reliable service.
Dana Gore, marketing director for Sunflower, said that when the upgrade was completed, the system would be one of the finest in the country.
In other action, the City Commission:
other action that the city manager Mike Wilden's report that the Federal Transit Administration sent him a letter yesterday approving the city's decision to award the bus system management contract to MV Transportation Inc., of Fairfield, Calif.
However, the letter said that if Lawrence wanted federal money, it needed to change its procedures for handling protests from companies that did not receive the contracts.
The city also will need to limit its contract with MV to three years and train Karin Rexroad, public transit administrator for the city, on how to award contracts.

Tune in or tune out:the Grammys are here

Kansan staff writer
If the Backstreet Boys or N'Sync perform at the Grammy Awards tonight, Samantha Roberts, Salina senior, won't be able to tune in, but she won't miss a thing.
Roberts said she had to attend class during the awards, so her roommates will capture her favorite bands' performances on video.
Roberts said she wanted the bands to be successful, but she most wanted to watch the performances.
"I if I had my choice, of course they'd win," Roberts said. She also said that one of her friends would be very upset if TLC beat out the boy band for Record of the Year.
The Grammys go beyond the 12 categories that include Album of the Year, Best Female Performer of the Year and
Best New Artist — the awards televised on CBS. The awards consist of 100 categories that span musical genres from gospel to polka.
Two University of Kansas professors were involved in musical events that will occur mostly off screen.
Chuck Berg, professor of theater and film, voted on the Grammy nominees in eight of the 20 fields. He said he voted in some of the pop subcate-

attend the ceremony in the future. Chris Moore, assistant professor of music, will be at the awards ceremony because he was nominated in the Classical Crossover Album for his CD, Hornsmoke, with the Chestnut Brass Band Co. The award will be presented
before the broadcast starts at 8 p.m. The 42nd annual awards show will be broadcast to an international audience to more than 1.5 billion people in 170 countries.
"I haven't listened to the radio in about four years, so the Grammys don't affect me at all," Klausman said.
Some people who don't listen to mainstream music on the radio won't be tuning into the show. Michael Klausman, an employee at Love Garden Sounds, 936-1/2 Massachusetts St., said he didn't care about the awards show and that none of the other employees in the store cared either.

He said he listened to free jazz, ethnic music and 20th-century avant garde classical, but those categories weren't included in the live telecast.
Jessica Johnson, Olathe sophomore and employee at Kief's Audio/Video, 24th and Iowa streets, won't be watching the tube, either. She said she wouldn't watch the show because she had to finish training for her job. She also said she wouldn't tune in if she could because she listened to eclectic music like Ween and The Flaming Lips.
"I don't listen to a lot of the mainstream and that's what's televised," Johnson said.

Historical case helps team to competition
A court case from the 1800s will take the KU Mock Trial Team to national competitions at Drake Law School for the third time.
The team has been performing the case since September.
Tara Kelly, Overland Park junior,
said the case from the 1800s involved two friends out drinking. One of the friends is later found dead,
and someone might have seen the other friend swinging at him with a shovel. she said.
"What tends to happen is you tend to learn more and more about a case." Kelly said.
"We don't even have a coach this year," Kelly said. "That's what makes us proudest."
The team will take 14 members to nationals April 14 and 15 where they will compete against about 100 other schools. Last year, the team went 3-5 at nationals.

Conference to help shed light on medical careers
Students interested in pursuing a career in the medical field can learn more about medical school Saturday at the sixth annual Premedical Student Conference at Emporia State University. The University of Kansas School of Medicine will sponsor the conference.
"We have learned in the past that students have found the conference valuable in increasing their understanding of the medical field," said Sandra McCurdy, assistant dean of admissions at the school. "Our aim is not to discourage students, but to provide a realistic view of the medical field in a mass event."
Brian Van Norman, manager of the Office of Premedical Programs at the school, said he expected this year's conference to draw the largest number of students because of its central location and more advertising. Each year the location of the conference rotates. Last year it was held here at the University.
Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m., and the conference will be from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The conference will begin with a presentation on admissions. It will be followed by 45-minute workshops about interviewing tips, ethics in medicine and other aspects of medical school and the medical field. In the afternoon, Ron McCoy, a professor at Emporia State, will speak about alternative medicine and the healing techniques of the Navajo Indians.

Spacecraft survives radiation bombardment
PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Galileo spacecraft passed closer to Jupiter's fiery moon lo than ever before yesterday and survived the radiation bombardment without the computer shutdowns that disrupted earlier encounters.
A $10 fee is required and includes lunch. Registration forms are available at
The $1.4 billion craft, which has spent more than a decade in space, flew to within 124 miles of the surface of the volcanically active moon. The pass was 62 miles lower than a November flyby that was only partly successful because Galileo was walloped with so much radiation that its computer reset.
Flight data transmitted from the spacecraft more than 500 million miles to Earth showed no indication that Galileo was harmed this time.
"We don't see any issues, and everything seems to have been done fine," said Jim Erickson, Galileo's project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Scientific data will be transmitted from Galileo over the next several weeks. Scientists will look at the data to see how to has changed since flybys in October and November.
Gallieo was launched in 1989 and completed its primary exploration of the Jupiter system in 1997. It is now on its second extended mission, but maneuvering fuel is running low, navigation equipment is failing and the probe has absorbed double the radiation it was designed to withstand.
The most dangerous encounters were saved for last to squeeze the most science out of the spacecraft.

City official lands position at University
By John Audelaheim
Kansan staff writer
write@kansan.com
Rod Bremby, who spoke at the Blueprints Leadership Conference this weekend, said the week of March 13 would be his last in the city manager's office.
Lawrence's assistant city manager soon will be working for his alma mater, the University of Kansas.
Bremby said that he knew what his new salary would be but did not want to disclose it because he would be paid by private sources.
City manager Mike Wildden said Bremby's salary as assistant city manager was a little more than $90,000 a year — making Bremby the second-highest paid city employee after Wildden.
He said in April, he would begin work as assistant director of the KU Work Group on Health Promotion and Community Development.
Steve Fawcett, director of the work group and professor of human development, said Bremby would bring interests in public health and child and community development.
"Rod is terrific," he said. "He has a genuine commitment to community building."
Bremby: Will begin work at KU in April
Bremby said he was taking the position to satisfy his intellectual
curiosity and because it made sense to make the transition.
I think I bring unique talents and skills to the work group," he said.
Fawcett said he had respected Bremby's work for a long time.
"We're glad to have him," he said. "He's a really cool guy."
One of Bremby's tasks will be leading a neighborhood project in Kansas City.
Atnough his specific role has not been defined yet, he said, the project involved teaching students here and assisting members of the community there.
Bremby said students would work in Kansas City as part of internships and classes.
The work group also would help train Kansas City residents to make changes in their communities, he said.
"We don't expect those people to be in the classroom." Bremby said.
rawett said Bremby also would work with Connect Kansas, a project designed to improve children's developmental outcomes.
Bremby said Connect Kansas was a blueprint put together by seven state agencies dealing with children's justice, education and housing.
It is only a framework now, he said, but the program deals with prevention programs and coordination of the seven agencies.
Bremby graduated from the University in 1982 with degrees in communications studies and psychology. In 1984 he earned his master's in public administration.
He participated in an internship in Fort Worth, Texas, and worked in the Office of Management Services before becoming assistant to the city manager there.
He returned to Lawrence in 1990 and has been assistant city manager since.
Victor/Victoria to hit Lied stage
By Cassie Holman Special to the Kansan
The musical comedy Victor/Victoria, which is about a struggling actress who resorts to lying about her gender to get work, is coming to the Lied Center tonight.
Deb Martin, a professional from Boston, stars as Victoria, a down-on-her-luck singer struggling to find work in Paris during the 1930s. Victoria's friend Toddy, a cabaret encee, comes up with the idea to introduce Victoria to the audience as Count Victor Grazinsky, a man who performs as a woman. Victoria agrees, and soon the Victor/Victoria act becomes the talk of the town.
The plot thickens when Victoria falls in love with King Marchan, a handsome Chicago club-owner in town for a visit. Though King believes Victoria is a man, and despite the fact he has a girlfriend, he too feels an attraction to the gender-bending nightclub star.
Things really start to get complicated when a jealous Parisian club owner sets out to reveal the true identity of Toddy's new star. The Chicago underworld also is determined to trap King and publicize his compromising relationship.
"This is a very funny show," said Christian Boy, Introduction to Theater
Victor/Victoria made its Broadway debut Oct. 25, 1996. It is based on the 1982 movie starring Julie Andrews. The film earned seven Academy Award nominations and won the award for best score.
instructor. "It gives the audience members insight into the cabaret environment that is so identified with the 1930s."
The late Henry Mancini, winner of 20 Grammay Awards and four Academy Awards, composed and arranged the music for the film and play. He recorded more than 90 albums with styles varying from big band and jazz to classical and pops. Victor/Victoria was Mancini's last project.
The screenplay was written by Julie Andrews' husband, writer/producer/director Blake Edwards, best known for films such as Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Pink Panther film series.
Tickets were still available yesterday at the Murphy Hall, Student Union Activities and Lied Center Box offices. Student prices are $19 or $16. Some tickets will be available at the door. The show starts at 8 p.m.
"The music is very exuberant and sexy," Boy said. "The musical is very faithful to the film, which everybody knows. It is very high style and glorious. It shows some of the seedy sides of the glamorous life."

Battenfeld to cool off with new AC
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
The men of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall will sleep a little easier when they return for school in August.
This summer, the scholarship hall, one of five that are not equipped with air conditioning, will receive an air-conditioning system that will provide air in each of the living quarters, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
"There is already some air conditioning in the lobbies and public areas," Stoner said. "But this project is designed to bring a higher level of comfort into the hall by making it fully equipped with air conditioning."
With the temperature already on the rise, the issue of air conditioning will become a hot topic for the members of Battenfeld, Pearson, Sellards, Miller and Watkins scholarship halls. These were the first five hallls built and the only hallls that are not totally air conditioned, said Nathan Stange, president of Battenfeld and Wichita junior.
"Air conditioning is pretty standard as far as humane living is concerned," Stange said. "In the bedrooms it's been upwards of 100 degrees, and it's miserable when you are lying in your own sweat trying to sleep or study."
Stange said none of the living areas in Battenfeld were air conditioned right now and a lot of times, the men slept on the floor in the common areas on the first floor where there were window units.
"It's a lot more comfortable to sleep on the floor than in your room when it is that warm," Stange said.
Battenfeld will be the first of the five scholarship halls to receive the addition, and the other halls will receive air conditioning in the upcoming years, said Sarah Crumrine, president of the All Scholarship Hall Council and Doutht Scholarship Hall resident.
"It's something we have asked for many times," said Crumrine, Olathe junior. "It's too bad it can't be in all the halls right away and has to be done over a few years."
The project spans several years to defer costs of the project. At this point, there will be no additional costs to the residents of Battenfeld, Stoner said.
The air conditioning will not only improve the living conditions for the men who live in the house now, but Brad Harrah, Battenfeld hall director and St. Joseph, Mo. graduate student, said he thought it would attract potential residents to the hall.
"The guys are really excited because they enjoy living here," Harrah said. "But one of the main drawbacks is that it doesn't have air conditioning."
Stange and Crumrine agreed
"It really is one of the biggest downfalls of living in those halls." Crumrine said of the five student-housing buildings without air conditioning. "It's a wonderful addition."

Under-used Burge needs renovation
The recent debate about renovating the Jaybowl illuminated a problem, but not the one most think. The student unions indeed do have a problem with under-used space: the Burge Union.
Affectionately referred to as the "bastard offspring" of the Kansas Union, the Burge sits at the foot of Daisy Hill, its purpose a mystery to some. The Burge plays host to a number of offices and services, including Legal Services for Students, University Career and Employment Services and a copy center.
Strategically, Burge is located in an ideal position to serve as a veritable hive of student activity. The question
Union officials should look to other union in addressing concerns of 'wasted space'
that remains is why, when there is a center that definitely seems worthy of renovation and revision and is a prime candidate for a potential cybercafe, would another pre-existing and established tradition — the Jaybowl — come under fire for under-use?
Union officials could take the correct measures to construct an appealing student center, be it a cybercafe or something else, at Burge, one that would bring in traffic and possibly even revenue to the unions. In any case, student input is necessary. For example, union officials could sponsor a design contest for Burge's new study plaza or ask a local coffee shop to open a campus branch.
The issue is one of economics. What could the Kansas Union do to make more money, or perhaps more appropriately, not waste money by carrying "wasted" space?
The options are limitless, but if union officials want to make changes, they should get the students and future patrons to take some stock in the renovations. This is the only way we won't have issues of wasted space.

Many of the Americans I've met abroad have a nice idea about the Midwest; to them.
I've stopped being surprised at any misconceptions, and I try to understand them. I don't want to give the Americans a bad impression. After all, some claim that I'm the first person they have met from places like Iowa or Kansas. I tell them it's really not that

■ You are asked, "Do you live on a farm? No, but I'll be happy to talk about my grandparent's childhood memories of living on a farm. I don't have any direct ties to farms, but like many Midwesterners, it's in my past. And reunions at the old family farm usually end with shotguns and clay piges.
You are asked, "Do you live on a farm?"
You have no problem spelling or pronouncing Des Moines, and can locate Kansas on a U.S. man.
I've met well-educated people who proudly say they have no idea "which state is which out there." Maybe my Midwest public school education did the wrong thing by teaching geography. You physically gag when someone says with a smirk, "You're not in Kansas anymore." This Dorothysim is lame and overused. Leave the cliches at home.
Another frequent offender on the study abroad $ ^{a} $
circuit is, "When in Rome ..." I'm just tired of hearing it. I've been happy to meet people who take a genuine interest in where I'm from, and I'm always proud to tell them about it. I have no reason to be ashamed of Midwestern roots. Like I said, I don't think it's very different from growing elsewhere in the United States, and I'll take it instead of almost anywhere. I think everyone should be proud of where they're from and should protect their regional heritages, something we're losing as we slide into the corporate America look-alike culture.
But it is interesting that Americans abroad call themselves just that: Americans. Although it is a bit egotistical and vague to leave out everyone else on the American continents, it shows how we think of ourselves. We first identify with the United States and second with our states.
the United States and second. This idea is strange to people from Spain, who don't really identify themselves as Spaniards. Instead, many hold on to their regional heritage, remnants of the many kingdoms that eventually were united under one flag. Today, Spain has four official languages and a terrorist separatist group. The concept of being a Spaniard really doesn't exist, and the Spanish you might have learned in class is more correctly termed Castillan.
This rich cultural heritage is one of the things that makes Spain special and fun to visit. It might help explain why 60 million visitors make their ways to Spain every year, far exceeding the nation's population of 40 million.
Although the Midwest might not have centuries of heritage on par with Spain, I tell my new American friends that they should visit the center of the country, not just fly over it or drive through it on Interstate 70. I think they just might be surprised with what they find.
When asked how your trip to any foreign, exotic place was, you usually say, "It was different." Not to get too excited, but things in Spain are good so far. I'll keep you posted.

Job search should focus on benefits, not salaries
It has been four years, and you never thought your college career would come to a successful end. But now the time crunch has begun, and both you and your parents are trying to picture what the future has in store for you. All you know is that you are walking through that Campanile on May 21 and that the loan repayment notes will start showing up within the next six months.
Well, if you had the foresight to anticipate your future, you attended the last career fair. The opportunities that were available were probably the best in town for the little effort you had to put

forth to sell yourself. All you had to do was print some resumes, dress in nice business-casual attire, be able to communicate effectively and have a real sense of your career aspirations. If you possessed these tools walking into the fair, you more than likely scored an interview the next day.
That's just great! You are in there with a company you think you have potential to grow with, the corporate culture seems to suit you and even the base salary
and even the basic sounds good. But do you really know how to evaluate job offers? It is very easy to get caught up in making a decision based on how much money you will pocket at the end of each week, but don't let yourself make this mistake. While having a disposable income that will accommodate your lifestyle is without a doubt a necessity, it should be something you evaluate last.
Nowadays, the most important part of the corporate compensation package is in the form of benefits. You know, all of those things you thought you would wait 10 years to invest in, such as 40(1) retirement plans, bonus incentive plans and flexible reimbursement plans, not to mention the health and dental insurance plans. All of these added incentives can almost double your offer, so if your base salary is $35,000, the total compensation package may amount to almost $70,000.
But the problem you now may face is what exactly you should be looking for and what resources on campus are available to help you

evaluate your job offers. The short answer is that there are no resources available! Don't get me wrong, the Career Services centers on campus do a wonderful job of helping you make contacts with companies and setting up interviews, and the information contained in their libraries offers a wealth of knowledge as far as researching companies. But when the offer comes, no one really can sit down and tell you which company would be best for you based on the incentive plan.
Using myself as an example, after months of interviews, countless deadlines and five offers, I was a little distraught when it came to making the final decision. Sometimes, I secretly hoped that companies would not hire me because it would make my decision easier. What I found is that I really had to think about my future and what it potentially could hold.
real money?
Think about your future because many in our generation are getting married soon after college, and you don't want to be with a company that cannot provide benefits to your spouse and dependents. When you have that part settled, compare the salary and NEGOTIATE! Good luck!
In addition, companies can contribute the most to your career through matching 401(K) plans and educational reimbursement plans. Granted, most of us are different from our parents' generation in that we probably won't be employed with one company for the rest of our careers, but that doesn't mean that you cannot take advantage of these incentives now and use them as stepping stones to your next career move.
stories to you.
As students, we tend to have this need for instant gratification, and while you definitely want to be happy in the short term, it is important to think about your potential in the long term. As you start to rake in the offers, don't let the companies rush you into a decision. Lay all of the information in front of you and evaluate the incentives of the deal because that's where the real money is.
what it potentially is. I don't necessarily see myself married with children in the next two years, but it's a possibility. If that's the case, I must consider the health and dental plans. I must evaluate the deductibles, the co-payments, whether it's an HMO or a PPO plan and whether experimental procedures are covered.

It's 'naturist'; not nudist or naturalis
Feedback
Permit me to gently chide the Kansan about the Feb. 11 anti-unity legislation story.
In the 19th century we had leper colonies; in the 1930s, places some people called nudist colonies. In the 21st century we neither have leper colonies nor nudist colonies. Leprosy can be controlled with drugs, likewise, nudists no longer
need to be quarantined. In Y2K, we do have lots of nudist parks, though, and a growing number of nudist resorts, fully equivalent to their 5-star textile counterparts.
The article also misspelled the word "naturist" as "naturalist." Naturalists study nature. Naturists (as in an naturel) enjoy nude beaches. Clothes-free Europeans never call themselves nudists. In 1970s America, nude beaches caught on in places where there
were lots of beaches. In 1980, free beach activists formed an organization, the Naturist Society, that promotes public lands nude recreation.
Unlike nudists, naturists tend to have last names and don't behind fences. If you call them naturalists, they'll probably give you a puzzled look.

Innovative wheelchair becomes classroom project
Engineering class to build vehicle for paralyzed girl
By Kandwa Kankondo writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A mechanical engineering class at the University of Kansas has been challenged to design and build a vehicle for a paralyzed 4-year-old girl attending school at Lawrence Early Childhood Special Services, housed in Dole Human Development Center.
Robert Sorem, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, said 10 students had just finished the designs. The students should be able to construct a motorized vehicle for the paralyzed girl, Taimee Taped, once they get through with other course assignments.
Teachers at LECSS said they were pleased with the enthusiasm shown by the students for this particular assignment.
"The students have shown concern for the child," said Sandra Davalos, an early child special education teacher who is responsible for Tanedo's education.
She said Tapedo was very active and wanted to join her friends as they were playing.
Students in a mechanical engineering class came up with this design to help Taimee Tapedo, 4-year-old girl who is paralyzed from the waist down. Students will begin working on the vehicle after they complete other class projects. Contributed art
"It's kind of nice." he said.
Andrew Fairchild, Lawrence senior and one of the 10 students who worked on the designs, said the project was quite different from what he was used to having in class.
He said the girl seemed shy when they visited her at the school.z
"She might have a better reaction with her teachers and might have found it quite intimidating to meet strangers," he said.
Sorem said this was probably the second time for the department to
be involved in this kind of collaborative effort. The first time, he said, was when the class of Terry Faddis, professor of mechanical engineering, was asked to come up with devices that could be used by children with special disabilities in Counseling and Psychological
Services.
The school in Dole is in the Lawrence Public School system, Davalos said. She said there were seven paraprofessionals and three KU students from the Special Education department doing their practicum there.
Carol McBaide, a physical therapist for Lawrence Public Schools, said she visited the school in Dole every day to work with the staff on cases such as that of Tapedo.
She said Tapedo was a victim of a neural tube defect affecting the lower half of her body.
She is paralyzed from the waist down, Davalos said, but that has not affected her desire to share life with her friends.
Davalos said the car that the students were working on would allow Tapedo to be mobile and participate in school and interact with her friends.
Katz Buck, LECSS school nurse,
said the school normally received
more extreme cases than Tapeado's.
She said that some children had special ailments and that it was her duty to advise both the staff and the other children on how to handle the special cases.
The children are taught not to be afraid of those with special disabilities," she said.
University to receive grant for defense-related research
By Kondwa Kankondo
By Kondwa Kankonda writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas will be awarded federal funding that will enable it to take part in a national initiative aimed at boosting defense-related research efforts.
Senator Pat Roberts announced Thursday that the University would receive about $600,000 in order for the University to carry out defense research in areas of aerospace engineering, pharmacology and toxicology.
Roberts said in a statement that the
University's research efforts were part of a statewide endeavor that included Kansas State University, which would receive funding for research in physics and mechanical and nuclear engineering.
Richard Hale, KU assistant professor of aerospace engineering, said the proposed research would significantly increase the state of the art for design and analysis of fiber-placed and fiber-steered composite structures.
"We have been notified that we will be funded to perform contracted research on a
proposal entitled Integrated design and analysis tools for reduced weight, affordable fiber-steered composites," he said.
He said commercial or general aviation aircraft, automobiles and civil structures such as bridges may experience significant benefits from the design, manufacturing and analysis tools and techniques developed.
Hale said the department had not yet been notified of its share of the $600,000. He said the department's request totaled $297,986.
But Roberts said in a statement that each recipient would have to negotiate the
amount of the grant award and the average
award would be about $296,000.
The federal funding announced by the senator to the University's research and development exceeds the amount of similar grants in the 1998 fiscal year. This included grants from all agencies of the federal government.
"Research in composite materials and structures has been on-going at the University," Hale said. "The capabilities of the manufacturing processes have just become available and have been the focus of significant research."
KC child dragged to death while dangling from car
The Associated Press
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — A child tangled in a seat belt outside his mother's car when the vehicle was stolen was dragged to his death at speeds up to 80 mph yesterday as horrified motorists gave chase.
The boy was dragged for five or six miles along Interstate 70, the major highway between Kansas City and Independence.
The boy, thought to be 6 or 7 years old, had been left in the running vehicle while his mother ran into a Mr. Goodcents shop to get a sandwich.
People flashed their headlights and honked their horns at the vehicle, but it did not stop during rush-hour traffic after the carjacking at about 4:30 p.m.
Three other cars gave chase as the car pulled off the interstate and onto a busy road in Independence.
The car halted at a stoplight, and one of the pursuers blocked it from the front while others blocked it from behind.
The alleged carjacker tried to flee, but he was tackled by three or four men and wrestled to the ground. One of the men got some rope from his vehicle and tied the carjacker's feet.
The men then waited until police arrived and took the man into custody.
Workers at the Mr. Goodcents said the suspect had been hanging around and that they had become suspicious of him.
The names of those involved were not made available.
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — When he was a toddler, Heath Barker was nicknamed "the red tornado" for his auburn hair and his penchant for tearing things up and jumping off the furniture. When he was just 4, attention deficit disorder was diagnosed and he was prescribed Ritalin.
A study of more than 200,000 preschool-age children shows this was no isolated case.
The number of 2- to 4-year-olds on psychiatric drugs including Ritalin and anti-depressants like Prozac soared 50 percent from 1991 to 1995, researchers reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Experts said they were troubled by the findings, because the effects of such drugs in children so young are largely unknown. Some doctors worry that such powerful drugs could be dangerous for children's development.
Heath's mother has anecdotal evi-
uence suggesting — as the researchers do — that the number of youngsters on psychiatric drugs is still rising. Through her involvement in Internet support groups for parents of children with behavior problems, Michele Barker said she was hearing of more and more 3- and 4-year-olds being put on drugs like Prozac.
"It's become a quick fix," said Barker. 39, of Hot Springs, Ark.
Although the study did not examine reasons for the increases, Julie Magno Zito, the lead author and an assistant professor of pharmacy and medicine at the University of Maryland, suggested a few possibilities.
With an increasing number of children attending day care, Zito said parents may feel pressured to have their children conform in their behavior. She also said there was a much greater acceptance in the 1990s of psychoactive drugs.
Joseph T. Coyle, a physician at Harvard Medical School's psychiatry department said the study revealed a troubling trend. He said that there was no empirical evidence to support psychotropic drug treatment in very young children.
"These disturbing prescription practices suggest a growing crisis in mental health services to children and demand more thorough investigation," Coyle wrote in an editorial accompanying the study.
The authors reviewed Medicaid prescription records from 1991, 1993 and 1995 for preschoolers from a Midwestern state and a mid-Atlantic state; and for those in an HMO in the Northwest. The states were not identified.
Use of stimulants, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics and clonidine — a drug used in adults to treat high blood pressure and increasingly for insomnia in hyperactive children
were examined. Substantial increases were seen in every category except anti-psychotics, though in some cases the actual number of prescriptions was quite small.

Santana expected to strike it rich at Grammys
The Associated Press
Clear off the mantel, Carlos Santana. You'll need room for all the trophies.
At least that's the conventional wisdom heading into tonight's Grammy Awards. Santana received 10 nominations, including the big ones for record and album of the year, and he's expected to do very well.
Grammy voters have a history of belatedly honoring industry veterans. The well-liked Santana, who played the original Woodstock, is a perfect candidate for the same royal treatment given Bonnie Raitt and Eric Clapton in the past.
His comeback album, Supernatural, was a phenomenal hit. Rewarding it also has the side benefit of paying tribute to its behind-the-scenes architect, Arista Records founder Clive Davis, enmeshed in a public power struggle with his corporate bosses.
Perhaps most importantly, Santana dominated the nominations in a generally lackluster year. There's no big critical favorite, no Lauryn Hill, around to complicate things.
For those reasons, we're not bucking the conventional wisdom.
Grammys are awarded tonight at the
Staples Center in Los Angeles. CBS' telecast begins at 8 p.m. Here's our handicapping of the top Grammy races:
RECORD OF THE YEAR
- Nominees: "I Want It That Way",
Backstreet Boys; "Belleve," Carin;
La Vida Loca, "Ricky Martin"; "Smooth";
Santana; "No Scrubs", TLC.
- And the winner is: Santana. Don't discount the Backstreet Boys, just because they're a boy band; the song didn't do so well just on the backs of teen-agers. Cher would make a nice comeback story, and it would be worth it to see what dress she wears. Unlike "Smooth" and "I Want It That Way," though, the other competitors have the faint whiff of novelty songs.
- Nominees: Millennium, Backstreet Boys; Fly, Dixie Chicks; When I Look in Your Eyes, Diana Krall; Supernatural, Santana; Fannah, TLC.
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
SONG OF THE YEAR
And the winner is Santana. This may be its easiest win. Despite its status as best-selling album of 1998, older voters aren't going to go for Millennium. Diana Krall is too obscure, country has a hard time breaking through to mainstream voters, and Fannail didn't have a high enough
profile.
SONG OF THE YEAR
— Ninnees: "I Want It That Way," Andreas Carlsson and Max Martin (Backstreet Boys); "Livin' La Vida Loca," Desmond Child and Robl Rosa (Ricky Martin); "Smooth," Itaal Shur and Rob Thomas (Santana); "Unpretty," Dallas Austin and Tionnee "T-Wot" Watkins (TLC); "You've Got a Way," Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Shaina Twinan (Shania Twain).
And the winner is: "Smooth" sailing. Yawn. Generally speaking, the winner of record of the year will also win this category, which honors the songwriter. There's nothing to stand in its way.
NEW ARTIST
NEW INHIBITORS
- Nominees: Christina Aguilera, Macy Gray, Kid Rock, Britney Spears, Susan Tedeschi.
And the winner is: Aguilera, in an upset. Gray's album was a favorite of many critics, including this one, but not enough people bought it. If this were MTV, Kid Rock would rule, but it's not MTV. We suspect it will come down to the two teen divas; Spears has the sales, but Aguilera has the voice, and that counts for something.
FEMALE POP VOCALS
— Nominees: “Genie in a Bottle,” Christina Aguilera; “Beautiful Stranger,” Madonna; “I Will Remember You,” Sarah McLachlan; “Thank U,” Alanis Morissette; “, Baby One More Time,” Britney Spears.
MALE POP VOCALS
And the winner is: Madonna. Get this she's been around so long now that in this category, Madonna is the industry vet who stands to be rewarded for years of service. It's a good song, too. McLachlan is her most serious competition.
MAIL FOR
— Nineimes: "I Need to Know," Marc Anthony; "Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of...)," Lou Bega; "Sogno," Andrea Bocelli; "Livin' La Vida Loca," Ricky Martin; "Brand New Day," Sting.
And the winner is: Martin. Shake your bon-bons. Ricky!
ROCK ALBUM
— Nominees; *Breakdown*, Melissa Etheridge; *Significant Other*, Limp Bizzik; *Echo*, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; *Californication*, Red Hot Chili Peppers; *Supernatural*, Santana.
And the winner is: Not Santana! Well, it will be if voters don't pay attention. But our pick is Red Hot Chili Peppers' fine Californication.

Starr blames Clinton for prolonging expensive, lengthy investigation
The Associated Press
EVANSTON, Ill. — Former Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr says President Clinton is the reason his investigation dragged on for years and cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
"It could all have been (avoided) simply by saying. "There was this activity." Starr said. "I shouldn't have done it, let's get it behind us as reasonably as we can."
He said "Clinton has an unfortunate side, an unwillingness to come to grips with the situation that would have
BROADWAY BANK.
Starr: blames Clinton for the length of the investigation
spared everyone all the angst ... by coming to grips with it and to say 'here it is' as opposed to dragging the country through it and then suggesting that it's all the law off-
cer's fault."
As an example, he said the media did not provide accurate reports of the trial of former Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker in large part because reporters did not cover the trial day in and day out.
Starr said the public did not always get an accurate picture of what was going on with the investigation that led to Clinton's impeachment because news reports were at times incomplete and therefore misleading.
Starr sounded gracious when talking about first lady and Senate candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, saying her statement that his investigation was part of a vast right-wing conspiracy was sort of an understandable defense mechanism.
High Court to rule on legality of random auto checkpoints
Starr's successor as independent counsel, Robert Ray, is closing out the six-year, $50 million investigation that led to the convictions of 14 people. In addition to Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky, Starr's office looked into the purge of the White House travel office and the White House's improper gathering of FBI background files on employees and presidential appointees from Republican administrations.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, taking a new look at the privacy rights of Americans in their cars, said yesterday it would decide whether police could set up random traffic checkpoints and stop motorists to search for illegal drugs.
The justices said they would review a federal appeals court ruling that said checkpoints where Indianapolis police detained most motorists for about three minutes likely amounted to unreasonable seizures in violation of the Constitution's Fourth Amendment.
A decision, expected sometime next year, will provide the court's latest word on the amendment's scope.
"This is a significant case, one that will define a city's power to conduct random searches of vehicles whenever it perceives it has a problem," said Kenneth Falk, the Indiana Civil Liberties Union lawyer representing two men who challenged the police practice.
Falk said a ruling that allows such searches for drugs also could allow random stops to find people who fail to make child-support payments or people who have not paid traffic fines.
Gary Secrest, a lawyer for the city, said the Supreme Court appeal was filed to keep open all options for detecting and arresting people who used or sold illegal drugs
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the checkpoints once used by Indianapolis were different because the city's goal was to catch drug offenders in the hope of incapacitating them, and deterring others, by criminal prosecution.
the city began its narcotics checkpoints operation in the summer of 1998. A predetermined number of cars were stopped at one time, and drivers were asked to show police their licenses and car registration while a drug-sniffing dog walks around the parked cars.
Police conducted six roadblocks in highcrime areas in the program's first four months and stopped 1,161 vehicles. The stops led to 104 arrests, 55 of them on drug-related charges.
Two Indianapolis residents, James Edmond and Joel Palmer, said in a suit that the police tactics were unconstitutional
A federal trial judge ruled that the city was not violating any rights. But a three-judge panel of the 7th Circuit Court reversed that ruling by a 2-1 vote in July.
The appeals court said the trial judge might find another reason to uphold the checkpoint program, which has been suspended.

McCain trounces Bush in primaries
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Sen. John McCain thumped George W. Bush in a two-state sweep last night, rallying a coalition of independent and Democratic voters in Michigan and winning his home state of Arizona to seize momentum for a two-week blitz of Republican primaries.
"As I look more electable, we'll start drawing more Republicans," McCain, who received just one fourth of the GOP vote, said. "What I believe we are assembling is the new McCain majority."
Humbled by defeat, the Texas governor said, "This is a marathon, and I'm going to be in it all the way to the end — and some primaries you win and sometimes you don't."
McCain's is the latest victory in a see-sawing Republican nomination race. The Arizonan won New
Arizona — 77 percent reporting John McCain: 60 percent George W. Bush: 36 percent Alan Keyes: 4 percent
PRIMARY RESULTS
■ Michigan — 86 percent reporting John McCain: 50 percent George W. Bush: 44 percent Alan Keyes: 5 percent Uncommitted: 1 percent
Hampshire's leadoff primary in a landslide, lost the followup showdown in South Carolina and won Michigan by a narrow margin.
In each case, Bush and McCain forged mirror-image coalitions: Bush with an overwhelming majority of bedrock Republicans and McCain
reaching outside the party for a similar-sized force of Democrats and independents.
Bush supporters bitterly dismissed McCain's victory.
"John McCain isn't party building, he's party-borrowing," said Michigan Gov. John Engler, who accused the senator of "renting Democrats" for the night. Engler had promised to carry Michigan for Bush, and took blame for the defeat.
Interviews with voters as they left polling places showed that half of the Michigan voters were non-Republicans — independents and Democrats who voted in far larger numbers than in the 1996 open primary in Michigan. Two thirds of McCain's vote came from the non-Republicans, and two-thirds of Bush's vote came from bedrock Republicans.
The race came down to a test of two disparate political coalitions.
Heading into a high-stakes spring of GOP races, Bush and McCain agreed that Michigan's election was pivotal.
Gov. John Engler, who promised to deliver his state to Bush, took the blame for not seeing the wave of Democrats and independents coming.
"I may have to take a lot of the blame because I didn't feel that even though they were targeting Democrats that we ought to engage in that war." he said.
We're going to win both primaries, McCain told reporters, conceding the negative impact if he didn't. "Every day is do or die. We're a high wire act and an insurgency campaign," he said.
Former ambassador Alan Keyes was the only other major GOP candidate, and he lagged far behind in polls.
Truckers rally against hikes in fuel prices
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Independent truckers drove their big rigs yesterday through city streets to Capitol Hill to protest diesel fuel prices and demand tax breaks to offset greatly increased operating costs.
"We're dying," said Douglas Sorantino, a rally organizer and New Jersey truck driver. "We need help now. If they don't do it tomorrow, we won't be around 60 or 90 days from now."
The truckers walked to the Capitol.
More than 200 truckers joined a convoy through the nation's capital to a rally on the Capitol steps.
some carrying signs that read "Enough is Enough" and "Will Work for Fuel."
Truckers were angry that gasoline prices had risen steadily since last March, when the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries cut crude oil production by 7.5 percent, or more than 2 million barrels a day, to boost prices that had fallen to 12-year lows.
Increases in diesel fuel prices are costing truckers as much as $100 a day, some haulers contended. They said the cost eventually would throw them out of business and wreak havoc on an economy that depended on trucks to transport 90 percent of
goods, including food, clothing, cars and appliances.
Rep. Jim Saxton, R-N.J., sent President Clinton a letter yesterday that said rising prices of fuel and home heating oil should be considered a national emergency.
With some large trucks averaging just 5.5 miles per gallon and fuel tanks that hold as much as 150 gallons, truckers say their costs are astronomical.
Protesters want Congress and President Clinton to repeal or suspend a 24-cent federal excise tax paid at the pump on diesel and investigate the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
White House spokesman Joe
Lockhart said yesterday that repealing the tax was not a viable option because most of the money went toward building highways that truckers use.
Truckers also asked the White House to release oil from a government reserve of almost 600 million barrels. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan cautioned last week against tapping the reserve, which he said should be used only to counter a crisis such as a total shutdown of Middle East oil supplies.
The crunch also is being felt by home heating oil consumers, whose costs have doubled in some parts of the country.

Iranians thirst for greater freedom
The Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — With all indications that hard-liners will lose control of Iran's parliament, the triumphant reformists presented a legislative agenda yesterday with a priority on expanding press freedoms and lifting a ban on foreign television broadcasts.
But it remained to be seen whether hard-liners would find a way to block those initiatives. The conservative Guardians Council can veto all legislation passed by parliament, and supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the main backer of the

conservative camp, has final say in all matters.
Iranians expressed their desire for greater political and social freedoms in Friday's election for the Majlis, or parliament, by overwhelmingly
choosing members of reformist groups like the Iran Islamic Participation Front, led by President Mohammad Khatami's brother.
Mohammadreza Khatami, the head of the Participation Front, said he was confident hard-liners would not risk angering a majority of Iranians by using the powers they still had to block reforms.
"What is important is the rule of law and judgment of the people, and the election clarified the desires of people," he said.
Iran's remarkably free press and live broadcasts of parliamentary
proceedings also could keep conservatives from resorting to heavy-handed methods.
Hard-liners have said little as election returns were counted, but at least one conservative lawmaker in the departing parliament indicated that they would accept defeat gracefully.
"The next Majlis will be a Majlis which will coordinate with the desires of the Iranian nation," Mohammadreza Khatami said yesterday, outlining a legislative agenda that highlighted guaranteeing freedom of the press and lifting a ban on watching foreign TV broadcasts.
Clinton delivers message of peace via video
The Associated Press
ARUSHA, Tanzania — In his first foray into video diplomacy, President Clinton urged Burundi's leaders yesterday to reach a peace settlement before violence ruins their chances for future prosperity.
In a speech beamed via satellite to negotiators in Tanzania, Clinton said the United States supported efforts to resolve the civil war in the neighboring African country of Burundi, where fighting between Hutu rebels and the Tutsi-dominated army has killed more than 200,000 people and uprooted more
than 1.2 million since 1993.
Clinton's aides said it was the first time the White House had engaged in video diplomacy.
His appearance was part of former South African President Mandela's campaign to turn the glare of international attention on the problems of Burundi, a country of 6.2 million people.
The talks are aimed at reconciling the often deadly differences that have divided the Hutu majority and the minority Tutsi, who dominate the country's government, military and economy.
Previous glimmers of progress often have ended tragically. The first democratically elected president, a Hutu,

By day's end, the champion of the anti-apartheid struggle, who spent 27 years in a South African jail cell, had cooled. He congratulated Gaetan Nikobamye, leader of the minuscule Liberal Party, for announcing his eagerness to consider draft peace proposals. He also reiterated his intention to meet with representatives of the two main Hutu rebel groups, who have not participated in the talks.

Oddities
Ex-employee causes stir with mom's buns
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — A former employee caused a stir at his old office by dropping off a box of pastries for his ex-boss.
For a while on Monday, the box of sticky buns was mistaken for a possible bomb.
Officials said the man had been fired from the Lunaire Ltd. factory, and took no chances by clearing the area for two hours as a bomb squad rolled to the scene.
When police located the man, he told him his mother was starting a bakery business. No ill will was intended, he explained; he was just trying to give some free samples to his former employer.
Officers took him back to the factory and had him open the box, nonetheless. The man's name was not released
Lunaire, which makes environmental testing chambers, sent its factory workers home for the day and also called off its night shift because of the scare.
Chicago teacher leaves student behind in Spain
CHICAGO — A Chicago teacher could lose her job for allegedly leaving a high school student behind in Spain at the end of a student exchange.
"We would be mad if a student was left behind at the Field Museum after a field trip," school chief Paul Vallas said, referring to a common Windy City school outing. "The teacher should be terminated unless the investigation reveals that there were extinguishing circumstances."
An attorney for teacher Christine Matishak says his client was trying to help Preston Ross III after the 16-year-old boy lost his passport in the city of Bilbao last week.
Matishak put him on a bus to Madrid so he could get a new passport there. Ross said she arranged for lodging, an adult chaperone for the journey and even let him use her credit card.

time," Immanuel B. Molainey said

Daytona Beach repeals ban on fortunetelling
City commissioners have unanimously repealed a 45-year-old ban on fortunetelling after a lawsuit alleged it violated constitutional guarantees for freedom of expression.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Someone should have seen this coming.
Business owner Simon Myara said he was turned down by the city when he applied for a fortune-telling license to make up for business lost when officials banned body piercing shops from the city beachside. He sued the city in federal court on Jan. 21.
City attorneys then recommended repealing the ban after reviewing recent court decisions which indicated there may be problems with the 1955 ordinance.
Next up: Planning Board members will discuss where fortelling businesses would be appropriate, and what standards should apply to them. Their recommendation will go back to the commission.
Meanwhile, Dave Wasserman, an attorney representing Myara's business, says he planned to proceed with the lawsuit.
Preacher assaulted for imitating Christ
HAZLETON, Pa. — A roving preach er known as "What's Your Name?" says he was attacked by a man who thought the preacher was pretending to be Jesus Christ.
Carl J. Joseph said he was walking alone in downtown Hazleton last week when a man leaped out of a passing car, shook him and called his names.
Joseph said he was able to escape the man's grasp, and the man drave away while continuing to shout threats.
"His impression ... was that I'm trying to be Christ, which, of course, I'm not," said Joseph, who spreads his message wearing a dirty white robe and sporting shoulder-length hair. "You can imagine that some would think I'm doing something very blasphamous."
Joseph has become a local celebrity through television news shows and newspaper profiles. He has refused to reveal his birthplace or background. When anyone asks his name, he replies: "What's Your Name?"
He said it was part of a Hebrew tradition to not reveal one's name to a person until you became a friend.
Joseph said the attack might be a good sign because it showed his message was having an impact. "If you're doing the right thing ... there will be persecution," he said.
Police contend shoes impractical and ugly
SUFFOLK, Va. — Rank-and-file copies here are digging in their heels in a dispute with the city's police chief about black leather oxford shoes — part of their standard uniform for 25 years.

64 weary Thais break movie-watching record
BANGOK, Thailand — Sixty-four weary Thais broke a world record Sunday for nonstop movie watching.
Starting on February 18, 468 people began the film marathon, but only 15 remained by the end of the 51-hour ordeal. They easily surpassed the previous record of 37 hours and 25 minutes.
Staff at the Entertainment Global Village cinema in Bangkok unckored the champagne before 4 a.m. Sunday, as contestants kept their eyes glued to "As Good As It Gets," starring Jack Nicholson, his 19th movie.
"They all looked so tired, but we're very happy they broke the record," said Ananya Phunggrassamee, a public relations person for the cinema in Bangok.
Contestants were allowed to take only five-minute rest after every movie and another 15 minutes at the end of three movies for meals.
MELBOURNE, Australia — A painting by Australian artist Tucker has been found on the back seat of a car — nearly 13 years after it was stolen from a Sydney gallery.
Police discovered "Ibis" on February 14 after stopping a vehicle in Victoria, police spokesman Kevin Loomes said. The framed oil painting, worth up to $126,000, was in very good condition, he said.
It was stolen from a gallery in eastern Sydney in April 1987. Police said they planned to charge two men in connection with the discovery, although officers did not immediately say what charges were likely to be filed
Tucker died last October at the age of 84.

Ladies' night
By Kami Bremyer
Women rock local music scene
the musicians tuned their instruments and were poised to strike the first chord, but the show didn't start until a pint-sized woman with jogged hair swaggered out from the wings. She crossed in front of the eight men, stepped under the center stage light and grabbed the mic. The show beamed.
Jamie Tucker, Parsons junior, is the lead singer for the local band the Suga Daddies, who take their name from a Jackson Five song. She is one of the women rocking the local music scene.
Tucker, who has been singing since she could talk, got started singing in church choirs with her aunt who sang opera. Tucker's aunt introduced her to Billie Holiday, Patsy Cline and Aretha Franklin, all of whom inspire her vocal style.
When Tucker came to the University of Kansas, she joined the Suga Daddies. She has been lending her soul, richful vocals to the band for the last two and a half years. Before she joined the band, the Suga Daddies was an all-male ensemble.
"Of course when you're the only hen at a cock party it's got to be a little chaotic, but I love them," Tucker said. "They're like my eight boyfriends."
On stage, the Suga Daddies bring the funk. The band plays a mix of blues and soul, with danceable funky beats. And the strength of Tucker's vocal stylings brings it all together.
As the only female in a nine-piece ensemble, Tucker said the guys occasionally gave her a hard time.
When performing, Tucker has no trouble holding the audience's attention. She has the stage presence of a diva and the attitude to match.
"I work my butt off on stage so that everybody has to take notice," Tucker said. "And if they don't, I tell them they can leave."
Last Thursday night, at the breast cancer benefit concert at Liberty Hall, the audience did take notice. The Suga Daddies hadn't made it half way through its opening number when the floor began to fill with dancers bopping to the souffle dance arvoes.
Members of the Suga Daddies like making music that gets people out on the dance floor. At the band's CD release at The battle neck, 737 New Hampshire St., Tucker recalled looking out from the glare of the stage lights to see
the dance floor of The Bottleneck filled by friends and fans.
"I thought to myself. 'Oh my god, this is it, this is what I want to do for a long time.'" Tucker said.
The added bonus, she said, was the $1,000 the band earned that night.
Tucker and the Suga Daddies have been working on recording a new tune, "Lucy", which will be on a CD compilation of Lawrence bands. The CD will be sent to the South by Southwest music conference, which showcases upcoming talent in the region.
The vocal stylings of another woman, Erin Chambers, Overland Park senior, also will be heard on the compilation CD. Chambers is the lead vocalist for the Lawrence band Coyote Project. The group is comprised of local music veterans and is fronted by Chambers's dream, storyteller-style vocals.
"My legs were shaking, and I knew my parents and friends were all there," Chambers said. "This was a completely new expression for me. I had been performing since I was three, but this was such a challenge."
Performing in front of an audience was nothing new to Chambers, who joined the band during her sophomore year at the University. Chambers has been singing all of her life in music and musicals, and she also was a voice major for a while.
Chambers now is at ease in her leading role. Everyone has his or her place in the band and brings to the band his or her own unique style, said Chambers. She focuses on writing the melodies for the band's music, which has been described as ethereal, Sunday morning blues, folk rock.
Coyate Project has been receiving worldwide recognition on its Web site www.coyateproject.com for its distinct sound. A producer for National Public Radio in the island of Madeira, a Portuguese territory located west of the country, who listened to the band's songs on the Internet liked what he heard on the Internet. He contacted the band about reusing the album to add to the world music program.
But at her first show with Coyote Project, Chambers said she was floored by the intensity of her nerves.
Another local band fronted by a woman, The Anniversary, also is receiving attention outside of the

Like Tucker, Verhoeven is the only female in the band. Verhoeven got to know the other four men in the band during high school while working on other projects.

"Any girl would probably think it's a bad thing, touring with a group of guys, but they're like my brothers," she said. "They're just boys. We have a good time together."

Verhoeven said she took on the
maternal role.
"I'm always wanting to clean up the van, make sure everyone is eating right and taking their vitamins," Verhoeghe said.
For Verhoeven, touring is the best perk of being in a band.
"I want to do this as long as possible, but I definitely plan to go back to school," Verhoeven said. She plans to be a music teacher. In the meantime, The Anniversary plans to bring its brand of rock 'n' roll with a twist of pop to the west coast with a spring tour. The band then will stop in Lawrence before it heads to Europe, where it will be spending the early part of the summer touring. A date for the Lawrence show is to be announced, but fans can check out the band's Web site at www.anniversary-rock.com.
The New World Gypsies, another local band boasting a female singer, haven't been on tour yet.
but they already have created quite a sensation.
"Our first show was a disaster." Brooke Boley, Lawrence senior, said. "We're gypsies, so if anybody wanted a tarot reading, or a massage, we did that. We also had a guy who was juggling devil sticks, which were on fire. Well, the sticks caught the stage on fire, he caught on fire, and our guitarist's leg caught on fire. Everybody started pouring their beer on the fire. The bartender was able to extinguish the fire with pitchers of water."
Boyle is the only female member of the band, whose music sounds like Fleetwood Mac with a little funk and a lot of harmony. Being the female at center stage, Boyle has attracted attention from male fans. But Boyle is unfazed by any fanciers.
"They aren't looking at you as person, it's just someone on stage," she said. "I'd rather be looked at as a person."
Boyle and the Gypsies do have dreams of fame, though. In August, the band is planning a westward move in hopes of finding a record deal.
"We all want to be rock stars, get signed and maybe start our own label," Boyle said.

Must-win scenario for Jayhawks tonight
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Don't talk to the Jayhawks about urgency.
DON'T LOOK AT THE STYLE you want. The Kansas basketball team knows all too well that the season is winding to a close. That makes each game more important than the last.
Start with No. 23 Kansas' game tonight at Nebraska. With a win, the Jayhawks (19-7 overall, 8-4 in the Big 12) can tie Missouri for fourth place in the Big 12 Conference standings. That could loom large once the Big 12 tournament rolls around next month, where the top four finishers get first-round byes.
"There's a sense of urgency at this time," forward Nick Bradford said. "When we start playing hard, good things will happen. We can still do a lot of things."
Beating Nebraska would give the Jayhawks a start on accomplishing those things. The Jayhawks have already beaten the Cornhuskers once this season — a 97-82 victory in Lawrence on Jan. 13. In that game, Kansas forward Luke Axell scored a season-high 15 points in just 13 minutes.
The Jayhawks won't have the luxury of Axtell's services tonight, however. Axtell left the team earlier this month for an indefinite period of time because of a medical condition.
"Obviously we would like to have Luke," said Bradford, who dished out a career-high 10 assists against Nebraska in January. "But we're going to be tough with him or without him."
Tough is what the Jayhawks will have to be inside against Nebraska's front court. Nebraska center Kimani Ffriend, who leads the Big 12 in blocked shots, scored 23 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked six shots last time he faced Kansas. Forward Steffon Bradford posted 12 points and 17 rebounds.
"If they do that again, we're in trouble," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "We've got to do a better job and put a little more attention on them. Their front line and the stats they throw up there are pretty impressive."
Those stats haven't been able to save Nebraska in very many games this season, though. The Cornhuskers are 10-15 overall, and their 3-9 record in the Big 12 puts them into a tie for eighth place in the standings with Baylor and Texas A&M.
But the Cornhuskers do play better at home. They are 9-5 in the Devaney Center, which includes narrow losses to Iowa State, Missouri and Oklahoma.
"We're playing at home, where we have played better, and we're expecting a big crowd," said Nebraska coach Danny Nee. "Kansas is really a quality team. It's real clear when you play Kansas, you have to protect the ball."

Williams said the talk about Eric Chenowith's struggles being related to Matt Doherty's departure from the basketball team should be dismissed. Doherty, a former assistant coach for the Jayhawks, left Kansas in the off season to take the coaching job at Notre Dame.
Chenowith's numbers have since fallen from 13.5 points per game last season to 9.1 ppg this season.
"Matt Doherty never spent one day working with our big guys in seven years," Williams said. "He worked with our perimeter players."
So, who does work with Kansas' post players? "Me." Williams said.

Jayhawk momentum vital to take doubleheader
By Amanda Kaschube

Kansan sportswriter
Corpus Christi, 6-3, is a team the 'Hawks have never played before.
Keeping focus for nine innings during a baseball game can be intense — but imagine fixating on a game for 18 innings.
Kansas, 6-1, will need all its concentration this afternoon when it plays a third doubleheader away from home in two weeks. Today's opponent — Texas A&M
"I like our chances," Coach Bobby Randall said. "They are a new program, but it gives us a chance to work on some things. The toughest thing to do is to sweep a doubleheader — and we've done that twice. We just need to come out and play hard."
The Jayhawks, off to their best start since 1987, have swept the last two doubleheaders against UT-San Antonio and Southwest
Missouri State.
Randall said he liked competing in two games during one day, but some players disagreed.
Doubleheaders are harder because you have to stay focused for a long time," senior Shane Wedd said. "We're young enough that we can keep going after one game. And we get to go south to the warm weather. That's good."
the first game, said sophomore Ryan Klocksien.
The key to pulling off a sweep is winning
"The first game is big because it gives you all your momentum," he said. "You can't pace your play to win the first game, you have to save some for the next."
The 'Hawks have raked up some of their highest run totals in doubleheaders Against Southwest Missouri last weekend,

The Jayhawks might turn tonight's contest into a head game.
So when the 'Hawks, 19-6 overall and 10-3 in the Big 12 Conference, face Missouri at 7 p.m. at the Hearnes Center, senior forward Lynn Pride will transform her head into a VCR.
"It's more of the same," she said.
"You have to show composure. You have to throw them out of what they want to do with our defense. And our defense is just tough right now — for anybody. I think its been helping us get a lot of easy shots."
With two of its remaining three games on the road, the No. 25 Kansas women's basketball team's goal is to maintain the mental intensity that helped it stay close in a 75-72 loss at Nebraska and pull off a 79-17 upset against No. 13 Iowa State last week.
— like Iowa State and Texas in which our defense won the game, Pride said. "Right now we're trying to stay in the hunt, we can't afford to slip right now. I feel like everyone's bought into our defensive effort and it's good that everyone's on the same page."
For junior forward Jaclyn Johnson, the key to tonight's game is nothing new.
"We just have to think back on the games we turned it up on defense and remember how it felt
In the teams' first meeting in Lawrence, the Jayhawks got a lot of easy shots from its defense, which forced 26 Mizzuo turnovers in a 90-71 Jayhawk victory. Junior
Home-court advantage aside, the Tigers have the bounce-back factor too. Mizzou is trying to break a two-game losing streak, which included a 101-66 pounding at Iowa State.
But the Jayhawks have been able to use visiting crowd's energy in their favor lately. Their last two road games were played in front of crowds of 8,000 or more.
"Going to Missouri is a concern because they upset Texas Tech," she said of the Red Raiders, who along with Iowa State and Oklahoma are tied with the Jayhawks for first in the league.

One glance into Pride's cold brown stare reveals the intensity her team has shown for the better part of the season in coasting to a tie for first in the Big 12 Conference. It is a look of hunger, desire and competition all rolled into one. It's confidence.
"We're confident we can win the Big 12," Pride told a small gathering of reporters after her Jayhawks steamrolled Kansas State 61-43. "We're still in the hunt."
Team's intensity burns in eyes of senior Pride
Most importantly, it's a look that Kansas' opponents fear more than the abolition of Title IX or a sudden breakout of Ebola Zaire. Because the look in Pride's eyes means death to anyone who stands between her and a Big 12 championship.
Still, Pride and the Jayhawks are seemingly leaps and bounds away from this goal. All season, the Jayhawks haven't been able to sustain a string of victories together long enough to be considered a legitimate threat to compete for the conference crown.
Watch Kansas forward Lynn Pride on the basketball court, and the thing that sticks out isn't her daring cuts to the paint or her defensive intensity. it's her eyes.

Sports Columnist
Two seasons ago, Pride led the Jayhawks to a surprising Big 12 championship and a surprising Sweet 16 appearance. The feeling around Mount Oread was that Kansas would be back.
She is the senior captain, ranks fifth on the all-time scoring list, and, up until now, hasn't had the true opportunity to show that she can be relied on down the stretch.
And if one undeniable fact has settled to the surface this season, it's that if the Jayhawks will pull off this miracle, it will all be on the broad shoulders of Pride.
sports@kansan.com "in the hunt."
The following season, a rash of injuries and unlucky seeding in the NCAA Tournament (the Jayhawks were forced to play eventual national champion Purdue in the second round) killed the team's hopes for a repeat of the season.
This season, both Pride and the Jayhawks have been an enigma. At times, Pride fires on all cylinders, and Kansas can pull off impressive victories, such as the Great Alaska Shootout title and a 78-71 list

Both players have a knack for finding trouble. Or maybe creating it.
Rodman isn't only player up to tricks
The similarities are undeniable. Tenacious defense. Rebounding prowess. Enthusiastic hustle. Multiple-game suspensions. What can only be categorized as a "curious" offensive game. Even Lester Earl's wild, one-handed, outlet passes have a Rodman-esque look to them.
We know you're no Dennis Rodman, but you're doing a darn good impression.
Lester, Lester, Lester.
Earl even likes professional wrestling — a "sport" Rodman has delved into on a few occasions. But Earl says he could never be a pro wrestler because he doesn't want to "put 'roids into my body."
Now it seems Earl has taken another chapter out of the Rodman handbook — sticking his foot in his mouth.
"I think he feared me," said Earl of Oklahoma's preseason, all-Big 12 selection Eduardo Najera after Sunday's 53-50 Kansas win. "I could see it in his eyes. He wouldn't look at me. He was always looking away. He feared me."
What? An All-American candidate feared you? Let's look at what really happened.
Earl guarded Najera in the final 3 minutes of the game — 3 minutes in which Earl held Najera scoreless for only two possessions, grabbed one rebound, and then, in what could have only been some kind of experiment with the Allen Fieldhouse maintenance crew, tested the durability of the backboards with a pair of high-velocity free throws.
"I'm still Lester Earl," he said of his performance. "I'm still the Lester Earl who transferred from LSU."
Najera was already nursing bruised ribs after a hard fall during the Feb. 14 Nebraska game. And after another fall in the first half of the Kansas game, Najera got up gingerly and appeared shaken. He was hardly at full strength when Earl, who had rested on the sidelines for all but two minutes of the game, swooped in to save the day.
Even coach Roy Williams, who has backed Earl through thick and thin, winced when he read Earl's comments the next day concerning Naiera.
What Earl forgot to mention was that he only played 5 minutes the entire game, and jumped into the final scene of a play Najera would just as soon forget. The Oklahoma star blew layups, miss-timed rebounds, got into foul trouble and basically looked lost the entire game. He threw up so many airballs that the student section got bored and finally quit chanting about it.
But what may have been the most disturbing feature of Earl's return from a seven-game suspension was the crowd's response to his entrance in the first half. The crowd cheered loudly and many stood to applaud. The small portion of the capacity crowd who did boo had to hold out their boos until the cheers had subsided in order to be heard.
Oh, good. That's a relief.
"I told him that's the dumbest thing he's ever said," Williams said.
A girl in the student section even held up one of all those all too familiar "FREE LESTER" signs. But free him from what? This wasn't an unfair NCAA restriction. This was a team punishment for being arrested.
Like Rodman, it appears that some fans will love Earl no matter what. Or maybe they're just watching to see what he will do next.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 23).
This year invest in your own education — and your own creativity. Go back and finish what you started in March. Work to save money in April and to keep up with the demand in May. Old love's best, and most convenient, in July. Focus on your future in August. Take out a loan in October and invest it wisely in November. By December, transform into the person you always wanted to be. Settle into a routine by next February.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Once you and your mate or partner have your relationship figured out, it'll be time to talk about money. Don't stress out; it's perfectly natural. You shouldn't have to pay for everything, should you? It's wiser to share the load.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
This should be a creative day. You could run into some opposition, however. It's a good day for completion, too. Is there something you need to say to somebody, to get the ball rolling? If so, go ahead and do it. The more awkward the situation, the more pleased they'll be.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
You don't often jump into the leadership role, but today you should. That's because you're one of the few who can figure out what's going on. Bring the others up to speed if you can. Your efforts will be appreciated.
Cancer: Todav is a 7.
Something about your home may need rearranging. You may decide you can't stand the way it is any more. You have a lot of other things to do, so you really don't have time for this. That's OK. Once you get this bee in your bonnet, you'll move quickly
Leo: Today is a 6.
You are still under scrutiny. Are you being evaluated for a promotion? Well, it couldn't happen to a nicer person. Changes at home still require some of your attention, however. You may have to turn down a request for a freebie to have time for family. Do it.
R
Virao: Today is a 7.
II
you should be working hard at whatever's right in front of you. There's no more time for planning, setting priorities or doing the research. Now, take action, keep moving and don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.
Libra : Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Saaittarius: Today is a 6.
LION
Aquarius : Today is a 7.
It should be easier for you to communicate now.
Business will go well. Even a difficult job could almost be fun because you do it with friends. Don't put it off any longer. Get it finished so you can celebrate.
Hurry along; be as creative as possible. Then, as evening approaches, you'll find decisions are easier to make. The time's running out, for one thing. This could inspire you to be even more effective than usual. And, that would be very good!
You should notice an increase in your energy level — and your determination — as the day progresses. The difficult part has to do with communications. You may have to call somebody you'd just as soon avoid. Don't think about it any more; just do it.
Pay attention to a person you respect early in the day. If you do something nice for him or her, you could benefit from your thoughtfulness later. You're not schmoozing; you'd never do that. No, you're just remembering that rich people need love, too!
女
Pisces: Today is a 6.
Everything will be easier early in the day. You'll move quickly and come up with all sorts of great ideas. Later on, you'll have to figure out how to actually make these things happen. That's the tricky part. Slow down, and take your time.
You could be in the mood to make or to buy pretty things. It'll be easier to choose tomorrow or the next day. So, there's no rush. This is a good day to go shopping, just to see what's out there. Review your options now, but save your big decisions for tomorrow.

KANSAS SOCCER
Former soccer player to coach at Texas Tech
Former Kansas soccer player Amy Dykesther was hired as an assistant coach by the Texas Tech women's soccer team yesterday.
Prior to Texas Tech, Dyksterhuis coached the West Des Moines select club teams in Des Moines, Iowa. She also served as the coach and administrator for the 2010 development program. Her duties with the Red Raiders will begin April 1.
Dyksterhuis played for the Jayhawks from 1995 to 1997 and served as team captain for two years. She ranks seventh in career points at Kansas and is tied for second in career goals scored.
"I am very excited about Amy joining my staff," coach Felix Oskam said. "She is a very young, energetic person, and she is a perfect fit for what we try to do here with our program."

BOXING
Standing eight count to end in New York
ALBANY, N.Y. — New York plans to follow the lead of other states by proposing the elimination of the standing eight count in all professional bouts.
The Athletic Commission also intends to change rules governing judge selection and payments prompted by the disputed Evander Holyfield-Lennox Lewis draw last year at Madison Square Garden.
The standing eight count was designed to protect boxers by allowing the referee to step in and give an overwhelmed fighter an eight-second respite.
The rules in both instances are expected to be approved in April.
SCORPIO
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"If a boxer is sustaining enough punishment to have to count to eight to assess his condition, then he's probably suffered enough punishment to stop the fight," Jordan said.
Barry Jordan, a neurologist and ringside physician during many New York bouts, said the thinking had changed among doctors.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska punter Dan Hardenfeld has been granted an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA.
Hadenfeld, who was fourth in the nation in punting in 1999, set a school record with an average of nearly 45 yards per punt.
School officials confirmed Monday that Hadenfeldt had been granted a sixth year to complete his four years of eligibility. Under NCAA rules, a player must complete his four years of eligibility in five years.
He had been considering entering the NFL draft.
No-miss game streak might not be broken
Hadfenfeld was granted a medical hardship because he was out of action with a back injury for most of the 1996 season.

NBA
SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan's strained abdominal muscle is not torn, meaning the All-Star forward might be able to keep alive his streak of never missing an NBA game.
Duncan, listed as day to day, will travel with the San Antonio Spurs for a three-game road trip. There is a chance he will play tomorrow night in Charlotte.

AUSTIN, Texas—Ricky Williams of the New Orleans Saints spent six hours in jail Monday night after failing to sign a traffic ticket.
Tom Vinger, spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said a rooper pulled over Williams in his 1999 Hummer about 9:24 p.m.

Vinger said Williams was upset and not particularly cooperative when stopped.
The football player refused to sign the ticket for failing to signal, a change that carries a maximum $200 fine.
Vinger said the signature was a promise that he would later contact the court about the ticket. The trooper arrested Williams and took him to the Travis County Jail to personally face a judge.
"It is absolutely terrible judgment," Williams' lawyer, Joe Jamail, told the Dallas Morning News. "They know who he is and where he lives. They don't take you to jail for refusing to sign a ticket. I'm incensed about it."
Williams returned to the University of Texas to take classes this semester.

VANCOUVER British Columbia — Marty McSorley of the Boston Bruins was suspended indefinitely yesterday by the NHL for a bloody, stick-swinging hit that left Donald Brashear of Vancouver unconscious and twitching on the ice.
McSorley was suspended pending a hearing today in New York, the NHL said.
Brashear has a concussion and will be out two to three weeks, the Canucks said. He was released from the hospital yesterday and was at practice, but he did not comment.
Brashear was alert and walking in the dressing room following the attack Monday night, which came in the closing seconds of the 5-2 Vancouver victory.
"I apologize to Donald Brashear and all the fans who had to watch that," McSorley said. "I embarrassed my hockey team. ... I got way too carried away. It was a real dumb play."
Police, deluged with calls from angry fans, said they would consult with the NHL. A team of three Vancouver police officers is investigating.
"We have a situation here where it would appear, or that it's been alleged, that there was a

fairly vicious attack by one person on another," said police spokeswoman Const. Anne Drennan.
Canucks general manager Brian Burke, once the NHL's chief disciplinarian, said the police should stay out.
McSorley had been trying to goad Brashear into another fight, and his hit came with 2.7 seconds left. The two.
NHL
handed slash to the right temple, with the stick fully extended, sent the Vancouver forward reeling backward. His head struck the ice and blood flowed from his nose.
"That was sickening to see." said Vancouver coach Marc Crawford. "I haven't got another word that I can use."
Trainers rushed to Brashear, and the player was removed on a stretcher.
"I'm still in shock at what I did," McSorley said. "I have to come to terms with what I did."
McSorley, one of the NHL's
notorious enforcers, was once known as Wayne Gretzky's protector.
He and Brashear fought just two minutes into the game. Brashear got the best of the brawl, and McSorley challenged Brashear again with 7:38 remaining in the first period. But Brashear skated away, leaving McSorley with a double-minor and a misconduct.
"I've never been a part of anything like that or witnessed anything like that," said Boston captain Ray Bourque. "There is no way to justify it."
In 1993, the NHL suspended Washington's Dale Hunter for 21 games for a blindside check of Pierre Turgeon after a goal in a playoff game. It was the longest suspension for on-ice violence.
"You play the game and you expect to play it hard, but there is no reason for that," Crawford said. "There's no room for that. There's no place in hockey for that. It was a despicable act and I'm sickened by it."
Vancouver forward Markus Naslund urged strong action from the league.
"When things like that happen, you worry about a life," he said. "The slash was bad enough to, I think, kill someone. The league has to make an example. We have to put a stop to things like this."

Swimmers await conference meet
By Brandon Krisztal sports@kansan.com
Kansan writerwriter
Rested. Nervous. Excited.
Many words can be used to describe the Kansas men's swimming and diving team with the Big 12 Conference championship more than a week away.
When the conference meet begins March 2, the Jayhawks will not have competed for 25 days — since losing at Iowa State Feb. 5. The Jayhawks hope that loss was a transition, or a stopping point to their winless season. Kansas finished the regular season 0-7 overall and 0-4 in conference.
Senior captain Brian Klapper likes his team's outlook for next week's meet in College Station, Texas.
"I think nobody expects us to do anything at all so our attitude is just to go
KU SWIMMING
out there and give it our best because we got nothing to lose," he said. "I guess a term we've been throwing around (to describe our attitude) is reckless abandon."
The Jayhawks know they have their work cut out for them. The conference, as is the case in most Big 12 sports, is loaded with national powers. Texas is not just the best team in the conference, but the Longhorns are the top-ranked team in the country. Texas A&M is 15th, Nebraska is 18th, and Iowa State rounds out the top 25.
Having seen every team in the conference senior captain Andy Kyser is
optimistic about his team's chances next weekend in College Station.
"I know everyone else in the conference have us sold for sixth because everybody has beaten us in conference so far," he said. "We all know we haven't swam as well as we can. I think we have a viable shot to get fourth. Texas, (Texas) A&M, and Nebraska are gonna be tough to beat, but I know we have a shot at Missouri and Iowa State."
Because the Jayhawks swam at Texas A&M in late January, Klapper said that having seen the pool would be an advantage for the team — especially the freshmen.
Because the Jayhawks have not competed for so long, there could be concern that the team may not be in ready to compete. However, Klapper said the time to rest would prove beneficial.
"Taking a couple of weeks off is good.
especially before big meets that we shave and taper for," he said.
Kyser doesn't necessarily agree with Klapper.
Sophomore diver Adam Hanhart doesn't really think that the hiatus from competition will affect the team one way or another.
"Everybody is ready to go." Kyser said. "Sometimes, almost a month might be a little long. It makes you want to compete more, not having to get up every weekend trying to go at it."
"I don't think the layoff from competition has been bad or good," he said. "We're doing the same thing we've been doing in practice going through our dives and just trying to get better. Our attitude has been pretty good laterly. We had good workouts last week. We're just working and getting ready to go."
Four title-bound teams tied at top of Big 12
By Melinda Weaver
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The women's Big 12 Conference teams knew the race for the title would be tough when they left the starting gates in January. But few expected four teams to be neck-and-neck at the finish line with only three regular-season games remaining.
No. 7 Texas Tech, No. 24 Oklahoma.
No. 25 Kansas and No. 13 Iowa State are tied for first with a 10-3 conference record. Texas lurks not far behind with a 9-4 record.
"All of us talked about the parity in the league at the beginning of the season, but I don't think any of us realized how balanced it was going to be," Texas coach Jody Conradt said. "Home-court advantage has been a key. The good teams don't lose at
home, and we have seen that this season."
Texas Tech would win the conference if all teams win their remaining games.
The breakdown is as follows: The four divisional teams' records would be compared in a conference tiebreaker. In the North division, Kansas beat Iowa State twice, placing the Jayhawks a step ahead. In the South, Texas Tech and Oklahoma each won a game in their two matchups, but Tech has a better record against divisional opponents. The conference records of Tech and Kansas would be compared, and Tech defeated Kansas during the regular season. Thus, Tech would win the conference title.
Texas Tech's victory against the Sooners Saturday ended Oklahoma's stance as sole possessor of first place.
Lumen's BASKETBALL
"This is the way I have been approaching it with my kids," said Texas Tech coach Marsha Sharp. "I just keep telling them that every game is the most important game this year."
If the Sooners lose to Kansas Saturday, they easily could drop to the fourth spot because they lost to Iowa State during the regular season. The Sooners began the conference season 10-0 but have lost three of their last four, with losses to Iowa State, Texas and Texas Tech.
Kansas could have the toughest schedule down the stretch because it has to play Missouri and Oklahoma
on the road before battling Texas A&M at home.
"Missouri has definitely showed that they are very capable at home, and Oklahoma will obviously be a tough matchup." Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "Even A&M has shown it can be a surprise and put bumps in the road for some teams."
"Thirteen and three is the magic number," Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said. "Whoever goes 3-0 will do it. We all have tough games. Any of us could go from being first to being fifth. This last week is just a small example of what the entire 16-game season has been like."
Iowa State lost both games to Kansas. The Cyclones' defeat of Oklahoma and Texas Tech allow the team to have a legitimate shot at the conference title.
'Hawks don't look past any opponent

Up next is 10-15 Nebraska, a game which some might view as a walk, but not according to the Jayhawks.
After two down-to-the wire games against nationally ranked teams, the men's basketball team could use a break — not that it will get it.
"None of them are ever easy," center Eric Chenwith said. "This (against Oklahoma) was a big win for us, but it's going to be tough to win at Nebraska. They have a great crowd, and it's a hostile environment up there. We're going to have to keep our poise."
Just ask that same Oklahoma team that Kansas beat 53-50 on Sunday.
The Sooners traveled to Nebraska for a conference battle Feb. 14, and although they came out on top, the 62-54 win did not come easy.
"You saw on TV that they played Oklahoma really tough at Nebraska," Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich said. "They're a big, strong, physical team, and we're going to have to be ready to play."
Tonight, Kansas can expect much of the same. Two junior frontcourt players have led the Cornhuskers' rebounding attack. Steffon Bradford and Kimani Ffriend had their way with Kansas in

the last game, combining for 35 points and 31 rebounds.
Kansas ranks second in the nation in rebound margin, but the first time these teams met this season – a 97-82 Kansas win on Jan. 15 in Lawrence — the Jayhawks were out-rebounded 52-44 by Nebraska.
Kansas' second unranked opponent of the week, Baylor — who comes to Lawrence on Saturday — is just as dangerous, but for a different reason.
Unlike Nebraska, Baylor's attack is led by their quick, hot-shooting guards. Seniors Tevis Stukes and Jamie Kendrick lead the Bears in scoring and three-point shooting. The seniors will provide a formidable test for the Jayhawks, especially if the game is anything like last season's 66-62 Kansas victory. The 'Hawks led by eight at the half, but they nearly fell victim to a furious second-half run by Baylor.
So then, what is Kansas' mindset going into this stretch?
we just want to keep on winning," Chenowith said. "You never know what can happen. The top teams (in the Big 12) could get knocked off and we may get up there and tie for the lead. But just to keep on winning is our major goal."
Pitching key to early success
Continued from page 1B
“It's hard to keep the momentum up, you can't let down after the first game,” Randall said. “We played our best ball in the 17th inning at Southwest Missouri.”
Junior Pete Smart, coming off his first loss of the season last Saturday against Southwest Missouri, will start on the mound
Kansas trumped the Bears, 12-3 and 7-3. And at San Antonio the previous weekend, Kansas scored nine runs in the first game and 12 in the next.

Russell Baseball State ■ It's early, but if Kansas maintained its 2.75 ERA all season, it would qualify as the best since the 1976 squad finished the year with a 2.52 ERA.
"They've given us a chance to win every game this year—and we've won six of them," Randall said.
On the Injury Rout. Freshman Ryan Baty practiced
for the first time Monday since separating his shoulder last month. Randall said Baty might see some playing time at second base today, but he didn't want to rush his recovery.
On the flip side, sophomore Jason Appuhn will be out for 4-6 weeks, which is longer than Randall expected. Appuhn had surgery earlier this week to remove a calcium deposit on his rib, but the doctors found that he had actually broken his rib. The outfielder is expected back before the Big 12 season starts, Randall said.

incredible upset at Iowa State.
At other times, however, the Jayhawks have looked miserable. In a game in December against lowly Arkansas State, Pride shot 9 for 21 from the field, and Kansas lost 72-70. Three weeks later at Texas Tech, Pride was held to only eight points, and the Jayhawks were pasted by 20.
Pride is the player on the team that separates Kansas from the rest of the conference. Without
her, the Jayhawks' weaknesses
— such as lack of depth — are easily exposed.
Indeed, Pride knows that her chance for her shining moment in the crimson and blue is slowly slipping away. Without a final, emphatic championship that Pride single-handedly led her team to, Pride only will go down as the latest in a long line of individual basketball talent at Kansas.
She can separate herself from the field with something no other player in the school's history has ever accomplished: a conference championship, then a long march in the NCAA Tournament.
The road to this success begins tonight in Columbia, Mo., and Pride knows that all she needs is just one thing to achieve her moment.
"It's a matter of just staying focused." Pride said.
And it all starts with the eyes.

Bacardi pours into Royals race
Liquor company's board member bids for club ownership
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Another biddder will jump into the Kansas City Royals ownership race with an offer that tops the club's minimum asking price of $75 million, his lawyer said.
Facundo Bacardi, a 39-year-old Atlanta resident, intends to submit his bid tomorrow. He is a member of the board of directors of Bacardi Ltd., the world's fourth-largest wine and spirits producer, and could easily afford to buy the Royals, his lawyer, Andy Friedman said.
Already bidding for the Royals are David Glass, chairman of the Royals board and recently retired chief executive officer of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., and New York attorney Miles Prentice.
Baseball owners rejected Prentice as a potential owner of the team, but he has said his bid remained on the table. Glass re-
entered the bidding process after Prentice's effort was refused. He also has indicated his bid would exceed the $75 million minimum.
Royals president Mike Herman declined to comment on specific bids.
"I'm pleased with the quality and the quantity of the players," he said. "At one time there was very little interest. Now, there is a lot of interest. Things have changed. The Royals are a much better franchise."
Once the Royals have received all written bids, the team's board of directors will vote on the superior bidder. That proposal will be forwarded to Major League Baseball and, ideally, put to a vote before the full group of baseball's owners.
It is not known whether the Royals ownership situation will be addressed during baseball's March ownership meetings.
The Royals have been without an owner since founder Ewing Kauffman died in 1993. Before his death, Kauffman developed a succession plan that was designed to keep the Royals in Kansas City.
The Royals were enormously successful early in the life of the club. But the team has seen its attendance decline as it lost competitiveness because its small-market status made it unable to keep up with rising salaries.
The Royals fielded a team that scored a club record 856 runs last year and fans became excited about such young stars as American League rookie of the year Carlos Beltran, right fielder Jermaine Dye and second baseman
The Royals were able to hold on to all of their key position players in the off-season.
If Bacardi were awarded the franchise, he would maintain a home in
KC
R
Royals
Kansas City, Friedman said. Also, he said, Bacardi intended to solicit local investors and strengthen ties between the Royals and the business community.
"He recognizes that some people may regard him as an outsider," Friedman said. "But he is absolutely committed to keeping the team in Kansas City."
The Bacardi company remains
the largest maker of rum, but has diversified into other spirits. The privately held company, based in Bermuda, is the fourth-largest distilled spirits company in the world, reportedly valued at between $4.5 billion and $5 billion.
Bacardi became interested in baseball when he grew up in Miami and closely followed spring training, Friedman said.
He believes the Royals will again become competitive, the attorney said.
"He is not looking to pocket money," Friedman said. "He wants to make the team more successful."
Glass said he remained committed to buying the team.
"My principal interest is in making sure Kansas City has a really good owner, and we make sure baseball is in Kansas City for the foreseeable future," he said. "I think I can do those things. If you ask me if I'm the only person who can do that, I would say no. But I'm really aggressively pursuing this. I'm chomping at the bit, and I'm ready to get this thing worked out."
Both the Glass and Bacardi camps submitted preliminary proposals this month.

Cubs see no risk with new pitcher
Former Shockers player puts incident in past before season
The Associated Press
MESA, Ariz. — Ben Christensen threw one warmup pitch that changed two lives — his own and Anthony Molina's.
Now he's trying to put the ugly incident behind him as he attends his first spring training with the Chicago Cubs. It won't be easy.
"Other than the media, it doesn't bring up plead." Christensen, the Cubs' first-round pick, said yesterday. "It's in the past. But obviously it's not over. There is a possible civil litigation, but nothing has happened. I can't control anything. I have nothing to do over what is going to happen. So I don't let it worry me."
While with Wichita State last April,
Christensen threw a warmup pitch and struck Molina in the left eye as the Evansville batter was standing near the on-deck circle, an off-the-plate warning apparently made to discourage Molina from timing pitches.
Molina sustained three fractures in surrounding bones, leaving a 1-inch gash above the eye, which swelled shut. His vision in the eve was
CUBS
measured at 20/400 after the injury. He underwent glaucoma surgery in June and lens-replacement surgery in December, and recently his eye tested at 20/60, though retinal damage has left it with two permanent blind spots.
Molina has resumed his career with Evansville and went 1-for-4 in his first game back.
"He's back playing and that's good," Christens said.
"It's not over for me," Molina told
The Daily Herald of Arlington Heights last week, adding he would need surgery every seven or eight years to relieve pressure inside his eyeball. "There will be a lawsuit. We have until April 23 to do it, and we will do it."
Christensen wrote Molina a letter and offered a public apology when he signed with the Cubs last summer.
Cubs president Andy MacPhail said that extensive background checks convinced the team that Christensen was not a risk.
Cubs manager Don Baylor said Christensen made a mistake but came to camp with a clean slate as far as he was concerned. He added that the 6-foot-4 inch right-hander couldn't hesitate to throw pitches inside because he's worried about hitting someone.
"Ben came here and had some baggage," Baylor said. "I told him to leave the baggage at the door."
Teammates want apology from Rocker
The Associated Press
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Randall Simon wondered if he could ever be teammates again with John Rocker after allegedly being called a "fat monkey." Some people suggested Simon take a punch at the outspoken reliever.
Eventually, Simon decided one word would make things right.
"I want him to say he's sorry," the first baseman said yesterday after arriving at the Atlanta Braves' spring training complex. "I'm willing to forgive him if he comes to me and apologizes for what he said."
Rocker wasn't on hand to offer an apology. He is suspended until May 1 for his disparaging comments against gays, foreigners and minorities, though an arbitrator could reduce the penalty. A decision is expected by next week.
The whole situation has brought unwanted attention to Simon, who doesn't even know if he will make the team.
"I hope he regrets what he did," Simon said. "It's not only what he said about me, but what he said about his teammates, the Latin community and all other nations."
There had been bad blood between
the two since a Sept. 5 game against Arizona, when Rocker struck out what should have been the final batter. The ball got away from catcher Eddie Perez, his throw to first was a little high and Simon couldn't make the play.
After the Diamondbacks rallied for a 7-5 victory, Rocker angrily blamed Simon.
"T th a t shouldn't be said by a teammate." Simon said. him when"
Braves
Back home in his Caribbean homeland, there was outrage when Rocker's comments were published by Sports Illustrated. Even though Simon wasn't named in the article, he was sure he was the target.
"Everybody in Curacao was mad about it," he said. "Some people called me to say I should hit him. Other people told me, 'Don't worry about it.' Just go about your business."
After talking with his mother and new wife, Simon decided to put the issue behind him as much as possible. He even manages a coy smile when
revealing that he lost 10 pounds during the off season.
But Simon scoffed at Rocker's claim that the "fat monkey" comment was only a joke, something he had said before to the chunky first baseman in the privacy of the clubhouse.
"It wasn't a joke," said Simon, who is black. "You can joke about some things, but not that."
He said it's important for Rocker to make peace with his teammates as soon as possible. The players' association tried to arrange an off season conference call involving Rocker and Simon, but it didn't work out.
"Of course, everybody wants to忍驾 him for what he's done," said Simon, who is counting on Rocker to take the first step. "It's going to be a little tough, but I think we can put it behind us if he shows he's sorry for what he's done."
Another teammate. National
Another teammate, National League MVP Mippi Jones, said he's confident that Simon had the temperament to get past Rocker's insult.
"A time will come when he and John will meet face to face," Jones said. "When that happens, I'm 110 percent sure it will get done in a very professional manner."

Vanover agrees to plea bargain
FBI probe centers on organized drug distribution network
The Associated Press
U. S. Attorney Stephen L. Hill said Vanover's agreement to aid in the probe was a helpful development.
In an affidavit last month, the FBI said the investigation was centered on a large scale, organized and structured organization involved in the distribution of cocaine and marijuana.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tamarick Vanover, a kick return specialist for the Kansas City Chiefs, pleaded guilty yesterday to assisting in the sale of a stolen vehicle and is now cooperating in a broad federal investigation.
"I can't comment about that ongoing investigation other than to say ... we'll move forward," Hill said. He also refused to say whether any
In an affidavit filed earlier this year in connection with drug distribution charges against Vanover's personal assistant, the football player's name was mentioned repeatedly.
other NFL players might be involved.
CHIEFS
Bam Morris, a running back for the 1999 Chiefs, was mentioned once. Morris, who has
retirement from the NFL, has not been charged.
Vanover, 25, whose touchdown punt return this season sparked the Chiefs to a 16-10 victory against Denver, faces punishment of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
"Plead guilty," Vanover said quietly when asked for his plea by U.S. District Judge Gary Fenner.
A short time earlier, before a magistrate, Vanover was released
on his own recognizance.
Vanover could face further charges. It seems unlikely he will be back with the Chiefs next year.
"As is the case with any employer, we believe in the sanctity of the legal system," Bob Moore, a Chiefs spokesman, said. "The legal system has run its course in this matter and the issue has been addressed to the requirements of law."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league would review the case to determine whether the player was subject to possible counseling and disciplinary action.
A sentencing date has not been set.
Details of the 11-page plea agreement were not disclosed.
Federal court records have linked the ring to a smuggling operation based in Fresno, Calif., with ties to Kansas City and Nashville, Tenn. That investigation, which began in November 1997, already has led to drug-trafficking convictions of at least six men and pending criminal charges against seven others.
Fan's life saved by Thomas' death
Accident inspired use of seat belts
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Martha Fisher spent years cheering for Derrick Thomas. She never dreamed that one day on a lonely stretch of Arkansas highway the death of the NFL star would help save her life.
"But there is no doubt whatsoever that's what happened," she said from her hospital bed.
Following developments hour-by-hour, the Fishers listened closely the next day when Chiefs' president and CEO Carl Peterson pointed out that the only passenger in the car who was wearing his seat belt had sustained just minor injuries. Peterson urged everyone to take a lesson from the accident and always use their seat belts.
Joe and Martha Fisher, a retired couple who have been Kansas City Chiefs season ticket holders since Lamar Hunt moved the team from Dallas, were as shocked as everyone last month when Thomas was thrown from his vehicle and paralyzed.
Four days later, the Fishers,from the suburban Kansas City area, were returning from a trip to
Martha, despite Joe's pleas, never had.
"She always said they were uncomfortable," Fisher said. "I wore mine, but she just wouldn't do it."
Martha changed her mind about seat belts the day after Thomas' accident.
"It just hit me then," she said. "I thought, 'Well, Carl and Derrick have made a believer out of me. From now on, I'm wearing my seat belt."
Thomas, a nine-time Pro Bowl linebacker and one of Kansas City's most popular athletes, died on Feb. 8 of complications from the accident.
Arkansas when their car suddenly veered out of control near Fayetteville and began to flip, just as Thomas' had done three weeks earlier in Kansas City.
Rescuers had to cut them out of their car. Joe had minor injuries, and Martha had broken ribs. Authorities at the scene assured them seat belts had saved their lives.
"We always want to believe that good things can come from tragic accidents, and this time something really did," said Martha. "I do not doubt that I would have been killed if I hadn't had my seat belt on. And it was because of what happened to poor Derrick that I was wearing it." Peterson, whose relationship with Thomas was so close they referred to each other as father and son, was gratified to hear the Fishers' story.
"Derrick readily admitted and accepted that if he'd had his seat belt on, he probably would have been in a lot better condition," Peterson said.

Garage pieces fall into place
By Mindie Miller
writer@kansan.com
Konsan staff writer
To the casual observer, it may seem as if the new parking garage next to the Kansas Union has gone together as easily as a child's Lincoln Log set.
Workers have trucked in the garage piece by piece and stacked the pieces to form the five-level, brick and concrete parking structure. The stacking process began near Christmas and is expected to be completed late next week.
But John Carriveau, project superintendent, said the construction process was more complicated than piecing together children's toys. And the pieces are a lot heavier.
"Each floor piece is 12-feet by 60-feet long and weighs 42,000 pounds," he said.
That's the weight of three African elephants and about one-and-a-half times the length of a KU on Wheels bus.
These heavy floor pieces — called double T's — are welded together and supported by an intricate system of posts and beams, said Roger Harmon, construction manager at Design and Construction Management.

The image shows a large industrial structure with a high roof and multiple windows. A crane is positioned to the right of the building, indicating ongoing construction or maintenance work. The background consists of an open field with some buildings visible in the distance.
At all hours of the day and night, flatbed semi-trucks roll off the Kansas Turnpike carrying the precast concrete pieces that make up the garage. Wilson Concrete, a company based in Omaha, Neb., is pouring all of the concrete slabs for the project, Harmon said. The floor pieces are trucked in from the company's satellite plant in Kansas City, Kan. and the brick wall pieces come from Omaha.
Flatbed trailers holding the concrete pieces line Mississippi Street. Lot 53, the street's angle parking between 11th Street and the Spencer Museum of Art, will reopen Wednesday. The lot has been used as a temporary holding area for the concrete pieces until truck drivers can haul them up next to the garage, where they are removed and

TOPEKA — If student lobbyists get their choice, state financial aid won't come from university operating budgets.
Students from Regents universities, including about 25 University of Kansas students, asked legislators yesterday for more state financial aid to come from the state's general fund. The effort was a part of State Education Day, when students travel to Topeka to lobby the Legislature on behalf of the Regents universities.
"One of the most important things is coming up here and making our issues known," said Ben Walker, legislative director for the Student Legislative Awareness Board. "It's going better than expected. Everyone has been receptive so far."
If more money can't come directly from the state's general fund, the universities are divided about using operating dollars for student financial aid.
"At K-State, enrollment is up," said Travis Lenker, chairman of government relations at Kansas State University. "We can't advocate for anything that cuts our base."
107
Last week, the House Education
and Legislative Budget Committee recommended removing $1 million from university operating budgets for student salaries and financial aid — but the recommendation did not specify that the money would stay in the Regents system.
Students and legislators are working together to draft an amendment that would keep the $1 million at the state universities.
Without an amendment, Molly Bircher, Fort Hays State University director of legislative affairs, said her university would not support using operating dollars for financial aid.
Lenker said that even with the amendment, he did not think Kansas State would support the proposal.
Walker said that the University of Kansas supported more financial aid dollars with or without a amendment.
But students lobbyists from all the universities are keeping their fingers crossed that more financial aid dollars may come from the state.
State Rep. Eber Phelps, D-Hays, told students not to give up hope that financial aid dollars might surface vet this session.
"I've kind of learned since I've been in the Legislature that it's not over until it's over," Phelps said. "There is a lot of session left, and things can change."
Students also lobbied for the state to match the library fee and for increased faculty salaries.
Katie Holman, Prairie Village sophomore and Nunemaker senator, spoke with State Rep. George Dean, D-Wichita, who asked her to be involved in the legislative process.
"He asked about faculty salaries and if 8 percent was enough to keep professors at KU," Holman said. "And I said it was a good start."
For Holman, yesterday was her first time to lobby, and she said she enjoyed the experience.
"I'm looking forward to the next lobby day," she said.
Transportation board to consider bus route changes
By Erinn R. Barcomb
Kansan staff writer
The Transportation Board, which governs KU on Wheels, will meet from 5 to 7 tonight to discuss proposed changes to bus routes, including eliminating the West Sixth Street route and the Boardwalk Apartments bus stop at 524 Frontier Road.
Students commuting by bus to campus from the Boardwalk Apartments might have to find another way to make it to class.
"The reason is because of the ridership numbers," said Scott Kaiser, KU on Wheels Transportation Board chairman. "I think in the past some of the things that have changed have been the addition of other apartments like Highpointe and Jefferson Commons that have taken away their number of student tenants."
Kaiser said studies showed the route served between three and five students per day, which was not cost efficient.
"We could probably afford to buy them a car to drive to campus," Kaiser said jokingly.
Watson said there were two bus stops at Boardwalk but that buses ran only once every hour, forcing some tenants to walk less than a mile to the stop at Dillons, 4701 W. Sixth Street, and take a different bus.
"For four years, it's the same thing," Watson said. "Every year I go to the meeting, and the bus keeps on running. This time of year, I need to know what they're going to do because it affects my leasing."
Donna Watson, resident manager for Boardwalk Apartments, said she that had between 30 and 50 student tenants and that the number had dropped in the last four years.
Kaiser said that although the meeting was for fact finding, the 12 students who were the voting members of the board could decide the future of the bus routes today. If there were disputes about numbers or changes, Kaiser said, the board would vote in two weeks.
Other proposed changes include:
- Changing the Second and Michigan streets route to include Highpolinte Apartments.
Kesold Dr.
Frontier Rd.
Mesa Way
Sixth St.
students participating by bids from
business departments might need to
find a different way to make this class.
Changing the Sixth Street and Crestline Drive route to include Sunrise Village Apartments and using Fireside Court as a turnaround location instead of Schwarz Road.
Changing the Sixth Street and Crestline Drive route to turn south on Rockledge Road from Iowa, heading east; eliminating the stop at Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St., and moving it to Rockledge Road between Sixth and Ninth streets; and following Rockledge Road to Ninth Street.
- Eliminating bus service on the summer route between Alabama and 27th Street and Ridge Court and 26th Street.

KU students design plan to redevelop KC industrial area
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Twelve University of Kansas architecture students have designed what they hope will be the new looks of the West Bottoms — an industrial area that straddles the Kansas/Missouri state line.
"We feel like the West Bottoms will take off," said Hugh Lester, Lawrence graduate student, yesterday as the class announced its proposal. "We're just showing a direction that it could go in. We just want to show a vision that could happen."
The project will seek to redevelop the largely industrial area in downtown Kansas City.
Lester is one of 12 students who worked on the project at the University's Kansas City Urban Design Studio as part of the ARCH 500 class taught by Glenn Leroy and Richard Wetzel.
"This is not something that is going to be given to a developer," said Wetzel, adjunct faculty member. "This proposal isn't intended to begin the next day."
The design studio has been open for 12 years, but this is the first year that undergraduates were invited to participate, Wetzel said.
Science City at Union Station in Kansas City, Mo., was envisioned by the 1989 class — the only proposal that has been realized.
"This program works as a mid-way between college and a career for these students, almost like an internship." Wetzel said. "It also gives them a feeling of public service for the city."
The project gave him and the other students a connection to the city, Lester said.
Each member of the group has spent seven to 15 hours every
"I didn't know a thing about this area before I started the project," he said. "Now I know it like the back of my hand. It makes me feel like part of the community."
Wednesday this semester working on the project — accumulating to almost 3,000 hours of work.

"I didn't know a thing about this area before I started the project. Now I know it like the back of my hand. It makes me feel like part of the community."
Lawrence graduate student
Lester and his classmates said they hoped the city would go along with their vision to give them closer kinship with the area.
"That's the goal," said Anthony Hersey, Kansas City, Mo. senior.
The class solved the flooding problem by designing more open areas that would absorb the extra water.
Hersey said work already had begun on the wetlands portion of West Bottoms, a patch that causes problems — the area floods and cars have a hard time moving around.
The class also advocated building a retail and entertainment district around Kemper Arena in hopes that people would come to arena events earlier and stay later.
"Right now, people get to Kemper 30 minutes before the game starts and leave right after it is over." Wetzel said. "People should stay longer with what we've done."
Another idea the group had was a bi-state campus — an X-shaped building would straddle the state line, and institutions from both states would offer classes there.
"It's an interesting concept," Wetzel said. "It's a shared educational institution. Schools like KU, K-State and the University of Missouri-Kansas City could use it."

U.S. representative to visit campus today
Besides getting the chance to grill their U.S. representative, students might even hear a song or two from Rep. Dennis Moore when he visits the University of Kansas to speak today. Moore represents the third congressional district, which includes Lawrence.
The KU Young Democrats are sponsoring a reception for Moore from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Traditions Area in the fourth-floor lobby at the Kansas Union. The event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served.
When Moore campaigned for representative two years ago, he visited the University and played the guitar and sang in front of Wescoe Hall.
"Moore will have the chance to talk informally to students," said Jack Martin, president of the Young Democrats and Abilene senior. "He wanted to talk one-on-one with them."
Martin said students could ask Moore about issues that concerned them and even get tips on how to play the guitar.
Moore also will speak at 1:30 p.m. today at 104 Green Hall about the 2000 election in a program titled "Elections Have Consequences."

Forum to address issue of women in athletics
A panel will discuss the past, present and future of women's involvement in sports at Ecumenical Christian Ministries Center, 1204 Oread, tonight from 7 to 9.
The discussion panel features Mary Jo Kane, a professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota. Kane is the director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport. Bob Frederick, athletics director, also will be a panel member.
The forum, titled "Women and Sport From Title IX to the Women's World Cup," will address issues related to the images of women in sports. The forum is free and is sponsored by University of Kansas women's studies program.
"A lot of things are said about women in sports, especially after the images from the Women's World Cup." Hayes said. "It's easy to look at the success of the Women's World Cup and think everything is okay, but some things are not being addressed."

Koch executive to speak at Engineering expo
Learned Hall will be filled with displays instead of classes tomorrow as engineering students participate in
the annual Engineering Expo. an all day event that marks the end of National Engineering Week.
The expo will begin with a speech by Kyle Vann, an executive of Wichita-based Koch Industries, at 9:30 a.m. at the Lied Center. For the rest of the day, students will show displays and participate in design competitions.
At 11 a.m., Tom Mulinazzi, associate dean of engineering, will take his turn at the dunk tank, one of the many scheduled events.
Grade school and high school students will be in attendance, and anyone is invited.
"We'd like to get as many people down from the Hill as we can," Mulinazzi said, adding that a highlight would be the Mr. Engineer contest at 4 p.m. at the Burge Union. A spoof on beauty contests, it will feature male engineering students competing in three categories: suits, boxers and a talent competition.
The event will last until 4:30 p.m.
Lecture series to include discussion of evolution
The Humanities and Western Civilization Program Spring Lecture Series will address the Kansas evolution controversy Monday.
Christopher Haufer, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, and Steve Case, project coordinator for the Kansas Collaborative Research Network, will give a lecture titled "Darwin, Evolution, and Learning the Fundamental Principles of Biology" at 4:30 p.m. at 330 Strong Hall.
Hauffier said the lecture was not intended to be a debate about evolution. He said he would talk about the evolution of species and how scientists develop hypotheses about the diversity of life on earth.
Case said he would address the Kansas evolution controversy from a scientific perspective. He said the Board's science education standards reflected a fundamental misunderstanding of science that went beyond removal of important parts of evolutionary theory.

Prominent creationist to speak in April
A prominent creationist is scheduled to speak at the University of Kansas in April.
Phillip Johnson, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley, is a leading advocate of intelligent design — the idea that living things did not develop by genetic mutation and natural selection but were intelligently designed by a creator.
His 1991 book, *Darwinism on Trial*, marked the beginning of the modern intelligent design movement. Johnson entered the Kansas evolution controversy last semester when he wrote a response to Chancellor Robert Hemenway's defense of evolutionary theory in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Johnson's visit to Lawrence is sponsored by the Alethea Forum, a group working to present a Christian view of cultural issues, said Claibel Belcher, associate professor of architectural engineering and Forum member.
Johnson's speech at the University is scheduled for 7 p.m. April 7 at Budig Hall. He will give a critique of Dawinism and defend intelligent design. He also is scheduled to speak at 2 p.m. April 8 at Grace Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 3312 Calvin Dr.

Steve Scannell, consultant services manager at Design and Construction Management, said that using precast pieces could decrease construction time by at least 20 percent.

People question police motives
Speaker discusses racial attitudes
JACKSON CITY UNIVERSITY
Reggie Robinson, counselor to the chancellor and former special assistant to Attorney General Janet Reno, spoke yesterday to a small group at the Partors Room in the Kansas Union about the relationship between African Americans and the police. Two important topics that Robinson addressed were community policing and racial profiling. Photo by Nick Krug/KANSAN

Kansas staff writer
A lack of trust is the main cause of the gulf between police departments and the African-American community, said Reggie Robinson, counselor to the chancellor, yesterday.
Robinson, who is the former special assistant to Attorney General Janet Reno, spoke to a crowd of 18 at the Parlors Room in the Kansas Union about the sour relationship between the police and the African-American community. The event was part of activities associated with African-American History Month.
Since 1993, violent crime has decreased, Robinson said, primarily because of community policing.
Even though community policing is on the rise, African Americans still are finding it hard to trust the police, Robinson said.
"In one sense, you might expect African Americans could be advocates for community policing," he said, "But we all know the reality of the relationship between Blacks and police is a very different reality."
Robinson said an example of the distrust was how many African Americans reacted when minorities were harmed by police.
"I think that reaction, the immediacy of it, the force of it, undermines the trust issue," Robinson said.
Another issue that Robinson said kept the two groups at odds was the practice of racial profili
ing — the police practice of pulling over African Americans solely on the basis of their race.
"Clearly, when that kind of experience is happening, it's going to fuel distrust of the police department," he said.
Bill Tuttle, professor of history and American studies who attended the lecture, agreed that laws allowing police officers to pull people over for minor violations, such as not wearing a seat belt, could be used to target minorities.
"People are ordered to stop, but they are afraid," he said.
Chico Herbison, assistant pro
fessor of African-American studies, asked Robinson if minority police officers improved relations between the two groups.
Robinson said it was an institutional problem and not confined to Caucasian officers.
"It's a blue issue," he said, referring to the color of police uniforms.
Other issues have played a part in the lack of trust, Robinson said, including past incidents involving the police and members of the African-American community.
"I didn't talk about history, but it's a big part of what is there," Robinson said.
"In one sense, you might expect African Americans could be advocates for community policing. But we all know the reality of the relationship between Blacks and police is a very different reality."

Senate committee OKs blood drive campaign
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Erinn R. Barcomb
A controversial bill to finance Red Cross blood drive advertising in the University Daily Kansan was passed without discussion in University Affairs last night.
But the Finance Committee was another story.
A new version of the bill passed 11-4, but not without objection and debate.
The bill was ruled out of order two weeks ago because blood drive volunteers ask questions that some committee members thought unfairly targeted homosexual men.
Aravind Muthukrishnan, committee chairman, was asked again last night to rule the bill out of order. Muthukrishnan said that after learning more about the origin of the question, he did not think it deliberately discriminated against a group of people, and justification to rule it out of order didn't exist.
But others, such as Chris Hess, social welfare senator, disagreed. Hess cited a presentation at last week's Student Senate meeting where a Red Cross representative said some of the questions asked were intended to make recipients feel safe.
"When you base this on public perceptions, not science, that is the foundation of discrimination." Hess said.
Erin Simpson, liberal arts and sciences senator, also objected to supplying money for the ads. But she said posters still could be placed around campus.
"You're weighing lives against discrimination, and that's a hard decision to make." Simpson said.
Andrew Bailey, Lenexa freshman, said advertising was essen-
rival to the drive's success.
"I only see the ads," Bailey said. "They're pretty decent size. You don't miss them."
But last night's version included an addendum that also would demand that the Student Legislative Awareness Board lobby the Food and Drug Administration, which writes the questions. Lobbying was a recommendation of a Student Rights subcommittee that examined the blood drive.
Ben Walker, legislative director, said lobbying could include writing letters and making phone calls. Also, the student body president and vice president could lobby Dan Glickman, secretary of agriculture and a native of Kansas, when they visit Washington, D.C. later this semester.
The bill will go before Senate next Wednesday.
In other Senate news;
■ University Affairs and Finance Committee passed a bill to finance a design contest for bus shelters that would involve students from the University of Kansas and other area universities. Some committee members thought the $1,000 reward should be made available only to KU students.
University Affairs passed a bill to add another nontraditional seat to Senate. Supporters said nontraditional students did not get the cross-representation from other seats, such as residential and school seats.
A bill to finance a speaker on religion and science under the auspices of a nonreligious organization, the KU Choral Society, was tabled to include an amendment requiring the speaker to not include denominational religious arguments in his speech.
KU students empty wallets, paint bowls to benefit community center
By John Audlehelm
writer@kansan.com
The Center for Community Outreach and Sunfire Ceramics are joining forces to raise money for a local community center.
The project, named Empty Bowls, will raise funds for the Pelathe Community Resource Center, 1423 Haskell Ave., by selling bowls decorated by volunteers.
University of Kansas students and Lawrence residents can make the bowls through March 17.
Interested volunteers can pay $8 at Sunfire, 1002 New Hampshire St. The fee covers the price to glaze, decorate and fire the bowls. The bowls then will be sold for $8 on campus April 5 as part of CCO's into the Streets Week, a program aimed at getting students involved in the community.
Rebecca Sutherland, Andover senior and University Relations director for CCO, said between 60 and 75 bowls were sold last year
during the first Empty Bowls program. The project raised $400 to $500, she said.
This year, she said she hoped the project would sell more than 100 bowls and make between $800 and $900.
Some students already have contributed to the project. Yesterday, Amanda Surber, Fredonia sophomore, went to Sunfire with her friends.
Katie Whitenight Senecal, manager of Sunfire, said about 25 volunteers had been in since last week.
"I love to be involved in community stuff," Senecal said. "The turnout has been fabulous. I feel like we're making a major effort."
Senecal said Sunfire charged $6 per hour for customers who wanted to make bowls for themselves.
Normally, people spend an hour and a half to two hours making a bowl. Therefore, by supplying its services, Sunfire is donating $9 to $12 worth of service per bowl, she said.
E. J. Reedy, Topeka junior and co-
"I love to be involved in community stuff. The turnout has been fabulous.I feel like we're making a major effort."
Katie Whitenight Senecal
Sunfire Ceramics manager
director of the CCO, said last year's participants produced high-quality bowls.
"They're just gorgeous once they're fired," he said. "It was really neat just to see them all out there."
Along with selling the bowls, the volunteers also will sell soup on April 5. However, the soup will be served in Stvrofoam bowls.
I am a ceramic artist and I am passionate about creating unique pottery pieces. My art is not just about the material, but also about the process and the people who create it.

Students need loud, clear message about consequences of cheating
A crowded class sits quietly, each student bent over his or her paper in unbreakable concentration. The teacher paces patiently in front of the class, and the moment his back is turned, a student takes the opportunity to glance over another student's shoulder or pass answers under a desk.
This scene is all too familiar. Be it in high school or in the college classroom, the action taking place is considered cheating. At the university level, its consequences tend to vary.
Several universities in Kansas and across the nation have found ways to limit cheating in their classrooms. However, the University of Kansas seems to be a step behind. Other schools have used successful techniques such as skits and other programs to send out widespread
Academic misconduct policies' guidelines, enforcement vary among departments, professors
messages about dishonest behavior. The University relies on its professors to explain academic misconduct policies at the beginning of each semester. It's also up to professors to enforce the policies, resulting in varying punishments among courses, ranging from a failing grade to expulsion from the course or even from the University.
Certain schools already follow a code of honor resulting in fewer incidents of academic misconduct.
It is time for the University to follow the examples of some other universities. Instead of leaving the responsibility to professors, it needs to get the message across in an extensive and distinct way. There is a need for a clear-cut message that will reach all students and leave no room for confusion about what constitutes cheating and what doesn't. There also should be an explicit agenda for consequences when a student is caught.
Specific professional schools within the University have stricter codes of conduct, such as the School of Engineering. It follows a two-strikes-and-you're-out policy. Despite these efforts, the University does not keep a campuswide honor code of conduct.
The establishment of a specific code of honor would commit students to pursue honest actions during their academic careers and would paint a clear line to distinguish what is acceptable behavior at the University.

Math courses need qualified leaders
Every semester, thousands of students take Math 002 and Math 101. Because a large staff is required to keep the courses running smoothly, often the classes are taught by undergraduates, some of whom clearly are unqualified for the job and others who don't get compensated adequately for their good work.
The math group leaders need to be chosen more selectively and paid higher salaries to keep both staff and students happy.
Many unqualified graduate students, as well as undergraduates, are hired to teach these classes. Also, nonmath majors are hired as group leaders. Some students perceive that the group leaders merely are there to earn
Some undergraduate teachers are incompetent,untrained; others are underpaid
money from a part-time job.
The group leaders are faced with the same workloads as graduate teaching assistants but are paid only six dollars per hour. Group leaders are required to make lesson plans, grade homework and tests and help students in the tutoring room.
ing experience before they are hired. Also, undergraduate students taking the same class load as their students do not have the time to offer a sufficient amount of help outside class. It also makes sense to hire group leaders who are math majors or who are interested in math-related fields. Having a teacher who is not even interested enough to major in the subject they are teaching is somewhat distracting to students.
There are a few common sense solutions for this discrepancy. Because it's difficult to learn from an immature, incompetent instructor, applicants need to be older and have some teach-
Students at the University of Kansas deserve the best qualified teaching staff in every subject. Group leaders also deserve the same benefits and pay as GTAs. This would provide more incentive to the staff to put more effort into their classes.

Perspective
Dry campus drenched with ineffective policy
It's time for a pragmatic re-evaluation of the campus alcohol policy. Prohibition didn't work for the U.S. government, and it's not working at the University of Kansas.
The zero-tolerance policy has received enough press during recent years — most of it negative —
press down recently *—* that I don't need to recount to you, faithful Kansan reader, all its failures.
Although the University's dry campus may look good on paper (or in some newspapers), in practice it is unjust, unenforceable and counterproductive. Far worse than being unable to prevent alcohol-related problems, this policy seems to invite them.
PRIORITIES
Erin Goodison columnist opinionkanan.com
In reality, it's not a dry campus; it's a special permission campus. The University offers 100 percent tolerance to activities connected to fund-
Regardless of what motivated the policy, the consistent exceptions made for fund-raising activities and la-dee-da affairs set up alcohol privilege as a class issue in which the "haves" have wine and the "have-nots" just whine. It's the lords against the serfs, and the serfs want beer — beer having
activities connected to训
raising. Don't mistake my intentions: Fund-raising is essential to running a university, and serving only ginger ale at donor functions would seem socially naive and ridiculous. But if alcohol prohibition is retrogressive and ridiculous, why inflict it on students, faculty and staff?
The zero-tolerance policy probably is intended to discourage underage drinking, but it affects everyone on campus. Whether 21 or 71, if you live in a residence hall, you can't have beer in your fridge. Evidently, age doesn't determine privilege. Rather, booze flows where there's money. Alcohol is served at the Adams Alumni Center, in the luxury boxes at Memorial Stadium, at reception where donors are present, at the chancellor's mansion, etc. This tells me that responsible social drinking or drinking in moderation has the University's official blessing, but that the powers that be don't trust the majority of people on campus, especially students (of any age), to drink responsibly.
become something forbidden, glamorous and lordly.
Eventually the serfs — read students — find ways to obtain alcoholic beverages. Sometimes they consume them on campus. Because of the zero-tolerance policy, students who manage that do so at a very high risk. This level of risk fosters an atmosphere of rebellion and secrecy and often contributes to a lack of self control. Anyone willing to risk breaking dry campus regulations probably is using the drink-enough-to-make-it-worthwhile logic (kg stands, anyone?) Responsible drinking is not necessarily expected or encouraged in this environment.
Role models are an integral part of learning to drink responsibly; they set standards of acceptable behavior and provide stability. Students drinking in secret seem to model their behavior more on one another than on any type of role models. For example the guy in your biology class who can drink a whole case of Busch Light isn't an ideal role model.
If prohibition taught us anything, it's that people will find a way to drink if they want to. Enforcement is perhaps the most problematic aspect of the alcohol policy. With whom does the responsibility for enforcing the policy reside? The KU Public Safety Office and resident assistants have specific instructions and procedures for doing their jobs, but what about other KU employees?
The article about the Rock Chalk Scholars banquet was an embarrassment. Sure, it illuminated some of the inconsistencies of the zero-tolerance policy, but one of the students interviewed seemed to think that it was the responsibility of every KU employee in attendance to stop him from drinking. Not only was that student demanding the Big Brother treatment from the administration, he also was finding fault with hard-working faculty, and staff who didn't wish to be responsible for his individual choices.
That student in no way helped reform the alcohol policy with his statements, but it seems that because the policy treats all students like children, it has the tendency to reinscribe the childish behaviors it attempts, but is unable, to prevent.

direct presidential elections for 29 years.
That changed because of the people's demands for democracy. They organized for a cause and started a movement called "Diretas Já." This movement demanded direct elections for many years before the 1989 election and ultimately was responsible for it.

sense we can think of. The problem is that we only realize how important it is when we don't have it anymore — when it's gone. My father taught me that lesson.
That's why I think the Feb. 18 elections in Iran will change many people's lives as the Brazilian movement changed mine when it demanded direct presidential elections.
The Islamic revolution changed the country in 1978. Iran now is considered a theocracy, which literally means "the rule of God." The Iranian highest authority is the Ayatollah, who leads the armed forces, the judiciary and the state-run radio and television. Since the revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini, Iranians broke diplomatic relations with the United States and underwent several internal changes. The clergymen interfere everyday in people's lives — when to go to school, listen to the radio or watch television.
The people remained quiet for a long time. Not
anmore. They are using the ballot to protest. In 1997 the Iranian people elected President Mohammad Khatami, who is considered to be a reformist. He gained people's confidence for his efforts to expand individual freedoms and to free the press. He wants to reduce clergymen's interference in people's lives. In other words, he wants a civilian government.
Iranian citizens liked Khatami's projects, and last week's election results show that they clearly are supporting political reform. The reformists gained about 70 percent of the incoming Majlis, the Iranian parliament. People are giving their president the opportunity to work with a parliament that will support his plans. That shows their support and their will to change. Previously, moderates dominated the Majlis, which imposed major barriers to the president's plans of generating change in Iranian society.
However, the most important aspect of this election is that the ones who are giving the green light for reform are the 20-somethings — people just like you and me. The Iranian example shows us that we also can change our lives. You can change your society as iranians changed theirs. You just need to participate in the process. This applies to the Student Senate elections in April, your local election and the coming presidential election.
Demand your rights as Iranians demanded a better society for themselves. The fact that the United States has a better standard of living than Iran absolutely doesn't mean that this American society can't get better and that it doesn't need any changes. We have freedom of the press and should use it to protect other important rights. Demand better education, health, Social Security and so on. Register to vote in all the elections you can, inform yourself about the candidates' backgrounds, and if you don't find anyone who can do what you think should be done — run yourself.
As the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., once said,
"Power is not deliberately given by the oppressor.
It should be demanded by the oppressed."

Feedback
Science backs Darwin
In response to Matthew Hastings' letter in the Feb. 14 Kansan: Professor Matthew Buechner is, of course, correct. Not only biologists, but all educated scientists, are 100 percent behind evolution. Hastings doesn't misquote; he misunderstands me.
Darwin's argument that all life on Earth shares common ancestry, that more organisms are born (or hatched, budded or otherwise produced) that can ever survive, that variation (much heritable) occurs spontaneously in all natural populations, that heritable variation is directed by natural selection and thus populations have evolved through time (for at least 600 million years) is supported by all the evidence of thousands of observers and investigators worldwide.
Molecular biology, paleontology, organic geochemistry, other studies of the fossil record and entire fields of science verify Darwinian evolution in all of their details. Hastings is "obviously not well read" himself. He maligns us
by quoting out of context.
by quoting out or context. Primarily he confuses neo-Darwinism (a peculiar modern explanation of the evolutionary process) with Darwinism (nothing in science, in fact, to paraphrase geneticist T. Dobzhansky, makes sense except in the light of evolution).
Buechner is correct whereas Hastings' statement is fatally flawed.

Bartenders raise money for charity
Six taverns plan activities to fight illness

This weekend at the Laughing Dog Saloon, customers can pay to have other customers handcuffed until their bail is paid. Next week, the Redneck Olympics, which include a toilet paper run, will take place.
The money raised will be donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The saloon, 1910 Haskell Ave., is one of six local restaurants participating in the Multiple Sclerosis Understanding, Generous, Lovable You Bartender Challenge (MS UGLY).
It began Feb. 11 and will run until March 7. During these three weeks, restaurants and bars have planned different activities as fundraisers.

Last year, owner Kerry Johnson waited three hours before she was uncuffed.

rants to become involved in. "I think bars and bartenders have the capacity to raise a lot of money because they come in contact with a lot of people," she said. "I think every bar in Lawrence should do this."
The society provides restaurants with paper bones, buttons, garters, stickers and key chains. One of the most popular fund-raisers is selling paper bones. Customers who donate money have their name written on the paper bone, which are placed on display.
Troy Kuglin, manager at Dos Hombres, 815 New Hampshire St., said the response this year was better than in previous years. More than 50 people have donated to the cause, he said.

He said the remaining 40 percent would go toward national research.

Amini II start-up group wants more members

Laura Brunow and eight other scholarship hall women have their work cut out for them.
Brunow is one of the nine women who already have accepted the opportunity to move into Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall this fall and serve as members of the hall colonization group. Margaret Amini will be the fifth women's scholarship hall at the University of Kansas.
"We're forming the colonization group to keep from opening the hall with all new people," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
"It is a good opportunity to get a leadership position in a new community," Brunow said. "But I just think it will be really, really difficult
with only nine people."
Brunow, Dallas freshman and Douthart Scholarship Hall resident, said she was both excited for the opportunity and worried about the challenge because the Student Housing Department is only allowing nine people to serve in the group.
The colonization group will be responsible for creating the hall's constitution, selecting hall government officials and selecting the scholarship hall director for themselves and the other 41 residents, said Jennifer Wamelink, assistant director of student housing.
Brunow is concerned.
"It will be extremely difficult to train 41 new people in their shifts, which are important things as far as how our halls work," she said.
Brunow, who has started a petition to increase the number of colonization group members, said a lot of the people moving to the hall thought the cut was unfair.
There were 17 women interested in moving to Margaret Amini who were asked to submit a generic application for a place in the hall, Stoner said. He said the Student Housing Department had planned on taking anywhere from 16 to 20 women but that the lack of applicants had led the department to cut to nine. There currently are no plans to add more members, he said.
"Even though I got in, I don't think it was fair."
Brunow said. "They cut it to nine, and now we
can't even fill a government."
"Watkins and Miller are significantly less expensive because they are set up really different," said Sarah Crumrine, president of the All Scholarship Hall Council and Douthart resident. "They are only about $700 a year, whereas Sellards and Douthart are roughly $2,700."
Everyone who applied was either from Sellards or Douthart scholarship halls, which attributed to the lack of numbers
Wamelink said the residents of Margaret Amini would pay roughly what the residents of Sellards and Douthart currently paid.
Becky Harris, Gardner freshman and Sellards resident, said she was not interested in moving into the new scholarship hall.
"There is going to be a lot of new people." Harris said. "I would rather stay in a place with more structure."
Despite the lack of applicants, Stoner said he didn't expect any problems filling the hall for the grand opening.
"There's always a large waiting list at the beginning of the semester," Stoner said. "Once the year starts, the waiting lists go away."

Play wrangles with racy plot
I'll do it tomorrow.

By Sara Shepherd writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
An off-stage sex scene, swearing, spirits and a few folks walking in their skivies are only a few of the elements that bring a racy twist to Rough Stock, a play produced by a local independent theater.
Rough Stock takes place during a weekend at a Kansas rodeo. The plot revolves around Wally, a heavy-drinking bullrider. His 16-year-old son, Ray, comes to live and travel with him on the rodeo circuit. Throughout the weekend, Ray sees the extent of his father's problems and realizes he must take more responsibility. Eventually, a rodeo clown and friend of Wally's tries to convince Wally to clean up his act and tries to convince Ray to get his father some help. While dealing with his father, Ray meets a girl named Louise and experiences his first romance.
University of Kansas students and community actors will take the Lawrence Arts Center stage tonight in the Card Table Theater's first of four productions of the three-act play.
Julie Dougherty, Overland Park park senior, plays one of Rough Stock's most scandalous personalities.
"My character's name is Jessica Wolf," Dougherty said. "And she's what they call a buckle bunny — which, I guess, in layman's terms is a rodeo slut."
"Some of the lines are a little pushing the envelope," she said.
Dougherty said there were a lot of crude comments in the script.
Jason Blazer, Parkville, Mo., freshman, plays the role of Ray. Blazer said he thought the play's drinking, womanizing, sexual innuendoes and colloquial language helped break the stereotype that theater was old fashioned.
"This play is so lightearted and so fun," he said. "It's really contemporary."
Blazer said there were sever implied 'sex scenes, and he wasn't sure how the audience would respond to them. One occurs when Wally wakes up in his briefs and his current mistress (or buckle bunny, enters the room with her shirt wide open.
"I'm kind of scared about that because I don't know how people are going to react," Blazer said.
Blazer said the overall theme of the play was serious, but pithy banter between characters kept it entertaining, even funny for some.
"It kind of depends on your sense of humor," Blazer said. Christina Schafer, Leawood freshman, acts as Ray's sweetheart, Louise. Schafer said the cast gathered at one member's house to watch videos of rodeos for some
background on the play's subject. In addition to seeing different rodeo events, they studied the participants speak, clothing, and actions.
Watching the rodeos was especially eye-opening for Schafer, who said she recently moved to the Midwest from Boston.
Equally as eye-opening were the line dances — including the tush push and the boot scootin' boogie that the cast learned for the show.
"That was awesome," Schafer said. "Learning the line dances was a lot of fun."
Schafer said the eight-member cast had been rehearsing several hours a day, six days a week, for the past month.
"It was pretty intense, but it's all fun." she said.
The Card Table Theater, formed in the spring of 1998, is a not-for-profit independent theater, whose repertoire differs from other local theaters, said Jeremy Auman, cofounder, actor and former KU theater student.
It was designed to fill a gray area between the University Theater and the Lawrence Community Theater, he said.
“It’s a fun show — a fun full-length play,” Averill said. “A good evening in the theater.”
Another former KU theater student, Will Averill, director and co-founder of Card Table Theater, said the group performed original works and productions. Rough Stock is its 12th production.
In addition to three 8 p.m. showings of Rough Stock, there also will be an encore

"We like to do late-night theater as opposed to matines," Aumun said. "More people show up."

Dailey's sex class not only one offered
By Mike Hoffman

Kanson staff writer
Dennis Dailey's course, Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, is not the only class about sex offered at the University of Kansas. Phillip Huntsinger, associate professor of health, sport and exercise science, is in his 26th year of teaching HSES 489: Health and Human Sexuality.
"We cover basically the same things." Huntsinger said of his class and Dailey's, professor of social welfare. "People say his class is X-rated and mine is R-rated."
Huntsinger said the question of his class being in the shadow of Daliev's was irrelevant.
"I'm not out for publicity," he said. "Dennis and I are friends."
Huntsinger said that Dailey even came to speak to his class once and it was a great time.
A crowd of 119 students, freshmen through seniors, are enrolled in the class. Some take it to fulfill a major requirement, others take it out of their own interest.
The class covers topics including sexually transmitted diseases, anatomy, human sexual response, psycho-dynamic of sexual behavior.
ior and sexual aberrations such as pedophilia and beasteality. The class also studies sexual theories of historical figures such as Sigmund Freud.
Barry Clark, Topeka sophomore,
he said he took the class just for fun.
"I knew people who took it before, and they said there were no boundaries to what we could talk about," he said.
Clark said that one day Huntsinger told the students to imagine the doors of the classroom as the entrance into a vagina and the classroom as the inside of the womb. Clark said Huntinger's point was that everything could be looked at in a sexual way.
Zachary Kolich, Lenexa Junior, said Huntsinger was an awesome teacher.
"He's extremely mature to be able to handle that kind of material the way he does," Kolich said. "He keeps everyone loose; no one in class is really uptight."
Both Kolich and Clark agreed that nothing discussed in the class made them feel uncomfortable.
Hunters said it was not one of his goals to shock people.
"I liken the way I teach the class to a father talking to his children about sex," he said.
I will write the rest of this paragraph.

McCain's recent wins worry Bush supporters
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Shaken by defeat, Republican leaders allied with George W. Bush strongly criticized his campaign tactics yesterday and warned that rival John McCain is a serious threat to the hobbled GOP front-runner.
Governors, fund-raisers and ranking GOP officials second-guessed Bush and his strategists in the aftermath of McCain's sweep of Michigan and Arizona in Tuesday primaries. The complaints ranged from his decision to visit a conservative South Carolina university — which one governor called "stupid" — to the $1 million TV ad campaign in McCain's home state.
"I think there's a learning curve happening right now in terms of running a national campaign," said Chris DePino, chairman of the Connecticute Republican Party and a staunch Bush supporter.
The allies said they still thought Bush would prevail in upcoming primaries.
THE GENERAL OF THE NATION
"When it comes down to it, and they

actually have to choose a nominee and a president, voters are going to be looking for the guy who had done stuff and not just look at the slogans and a lot of rah rah," said Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. "That's when Governor Bush will prevail."
But their willingness to critique the campaign underscores a growing concern about the candidate they anointed a front-runner long before the first votes were cast.
McCain, meanwhile, crowed about his "overwhelming and phenomenal victory" during a Washington state swing, as both campaigns drew up strategies for a two-week stretch of contests in 16 states and four American territories.
Republicans were hit with the stark realization yesterday that they may be in for a long. expensive race that could produce a weakened nominee.
2000 Race for President
"There's a lot of people who signed on early with Gov. Bush who are wondering why this is going on so long," said New Hampshire party chairman Steve Duprey.
The sentiment was echoed throughout GOP circles, as the fallout from the Michigan defeat engulfed Bush's closest allies.

that you're a national candidate, but obviously a sitting senator's home state is not a place you want to invest many resources." Keating said.
DePino, one of Bush's early fund-raisers, sighed loudly into the telephone when the subject of Arizona spending came up.
"I just wish I had a little more input on how they directed some of this money," he said.
Bush struggled to defend the Arizona spending, telling reporters, "I never expected to win Arizona. It was just part of our overall strategy."
Man charged in child's dragging death
The Associated Press
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — As 6-year-old Jake Robel waited in the car while his mother dashed into a sandwich shop, a thief jumped behind the wheel and tried to shove the boy outside.
Inside the shop, someone yelled that Christy Robel's car was being stolen. She ran outside, pulled open the rear door and frantically tried to free her son, who was tangled in a seat belt.
The driver took off, the door closed and Jake remained entangled and trapped outside the rear driver's side door. The boy screamed for help and his mother yelled for the driver to stop. He didn't. It was the last time Robel saw her biveal.
Jake D. Robel of Blue Springs died Tuesday before the driver of the Chevrolet Blazer be stopped by pursuing motorists. Witnesses said a five-mile chase reached speeds of 80 mph.
Kim L. Davis, 34, of Kansas City, Mo., was charged yesterday with second-degree murder, robbery, child abuse and kidnapping.
As the horror unfolded Tuesday, Sharon Irwin was sitting in her car at the strip mall waiting for her granddaughter's dental appointment to end.
He was jailed without bail.
"Suddenly, I heard somebody screaming and hollering. I turned my head and saw this woman screaming and this Blazer driving by. I thought they had got in a fight and it was a husband or boyfriend driving off," Irwin said. "Then I turned my head again and saw he was dragging something. I heard the woman scream, "That's my baby, that's my son."
Irwin said the Blazer flew out of the parking lot at a high speed.
During the chase, motorists along Interstate 70 east of Kansas City flashed their lights and honked horns in an attempt to stop the vehicle. It ended when motorists in two trucks and a car surrounded the Blazer at a stoplight.
Witnesses said motorists wrestled the man to the ground and waited for police to arrive; they also tied the man's legs with a rope.
Nearby, Jake lay dead, most of his clothes.
ripped away. An 11-year-old boy who emerged from one of the vehicles took a large white blanket and placed it over him.
Bob Beaird, Jackson County prosecutor, would not speculate about whether the driver knew the child was being dragged.
But Irwin said it is difficult to believe the driver didn't see the boy, because he was on the driver's side of the car.
"I think that man needs to be dragged himself, just like he dragged that kid," she said. "He needs to get the death penalty. He killed an innocent kid."
The boy's family released a statement last night.
"We love him, miss him and will always keep his spirit with us. We want to take this opportunity to extend thanks and appreciation to the people who ended this tragedy. We also want to thank friends, neighbors and the community for the outpouring of offers and sympathy."
Jury begins deliberations in police officers' trial
Meanwhile a 4-foot cross, balloons and flowers stood at the corner where the chase ended. One of the bouquets held a note that read, "God Bless You, Jake. From Dad."
The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — The jury began deliberating yesterday in the case of four white police officers charged with killing an unarmed black man, after the judge said the jurors could acquit if they thought the officers acted in self-defense.
The officers could be cleared if jurors believe their claim that they fired 41 bullets at Amadou Dialio because they thought he had a gun and wanted to shoot the justice Joseph Terseli said.
He gave the jurors the option of considering charges other than murder and told them the law allows police officers to stop and question someone if wrongdoing is suspected.
The judge spent more than three hours going over the legal instructions for each of 24 criminal counts, and then the jury spent about six hours deliberating. They were sequestered for the night and were scheduled to return Thursday.
"You should figuratively put yourselves in the shoes of each defendant and consider how the situation appeared to him," the judge said. "You should consider what Amadou Diallo did before or during the encounter."
Earlier, Teresi replaced a female juror for talking about the case outside of court. The jury now is composed of four black women, one white woman and seven white men.
The officers each have pleaded innocent to second-degree murder. They face a maximum prison sentence of 25 years to life if convicted.
1947 plane crash remains found in Andes volcano
The Associated Press
TRES QUERBRADAS, Argentina — Army mountaineers were descending yesterday from a towering Andes volcano with the remains of at least three victims of a British plane that crashed there 52 years ago.
The 17-member expedition force, on a hazardous descent by foot and on mules, also were carrying key pieces of the plane, which vanished without a trace and was spotted only last month high on the 21.848-foot Tunupungo volcano.
Operated by the new defunct British South American Airways, the Stardust plane was carrying 11 people — five crew members and six passengers—and was headed to Santiago, Chile, when it disappeared during a snowstorm on Aug. 2, 1947.
Army Lt. Col. Ricardo Bustos could not identify the victims except to say that the remains of one woman were found at the site in the Andes mountains.
A photograph released by the army showed a rocky slope covered with scraps of clothing and a severed human hand.
Busto said the group also had recovered pieces of the engine and landing gear on the debris-strewn slope some 16,500 feet up the volcano.

Nick Bradford prompts scoring spark

Kansan sportswriter
Last night Nebraska fans learned a valuable lesson. Don't wake a sleeping Jayhawk.
In pregame warmups, several Cornhusker fans were harassing senior forward Nick Bradford about last season's poor shooting performance in Lincoln, Neb. Bradford merely smiled and nodded his head as he continued to shoot and dribble in preparation for the game.
As evidenced by his play, the 'Husker faithful may have struck one of Bradford's nerves. The Jayhawks' senior leader awoke and dropped in 19 points, two shy of his career high, but his offense was only half of the story.
"Nick Bradford was sensational," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "It gives him credit for six steals,
Bradford did finish with six steals, but he had a hand in so many others — literally.
but we thought it was even more than that on the bench."
"It feels good to go out there and score a little bit, but I'm not going to do that every game," Bradford said. "Personally, I'm more proud of the steals."
Along with his 19 points and six steals, Bradford ripped down seven rebounds — five offensive — committed only one turnover and provided the internal leadership that he has all season.
"For a while, he was the only thing we had on offense and defense," guard Kenny Gregory said. "But in the second half he stepped up, and we fed off of that."
The energy that the Jayhawks got from Bradford turned the game into a feeding frenzy. The 83-58 rout was the type of game Kansas expected from itself all season. And
leading the charge was exactly who was expected to, just maybe not offensively.
"It was a big plus," said Gregory of Bradford's offensive output. "I don't think guys on this team or the opposing team expected Nick Bradford to come out for 19 points."
What then were the reasons for the outstuff? Bradford said that he didn't care as long as the team won. But maybe it did have something to do with the pregame hecklers.
"I've been here for four years, and my first couple years I didn't play that much so I was on the crowd and they remember me," Bradford said. "They were on me for how I played last year, but that's part of college basketball."
The other part is getting wins, and that's exactly what Bradford got for his team last night.
"If there was a star of the game tonight it was Nick Bradford," Williams said.

Missouri senior steals game away from Pride in final minute

By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswritter
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri did not need a crowd of 10,000 or a spot in the top half of the conference standings to disturb Kansas' composure.
What the Tigers, 17-8 overall and 7-7 in the Big 12 Conference, needed was a memory of their recent defeat to Kansas and the hope of an NCAA tournament berth. Before the game, Missouri coach Cindy Stein had only two words for her players — NCAA Tournament.
Her seniors responded to the challenge — they beat Kansas 65-62.
"We had a talk before practice about attitude and how we want this season to end," said senior forward Amy Monsees. "Coach Stein told us that this is the time when champions shine. If we want to make it to the NCAA tournament, we have to play well now."
It looked grim for Missouri with 11:31 remaining in the game. Kansas pulled ahead by seven points after trailing by as many as 10. But the Tigers regrouped.
"We just needed to catch our breath, take a timeout, and get ourselves back together," said senior guard Julie Helm.
Spurred by Helm and junior center Marlena Williams, Missouri began to make a comeback late in the game. With 1:40 remaining, Helm hit the shot that put the Tigers back in the shot 61-60. The teams traded baskets, and with 30 seconds remaining, Kansas had the ball down by only one.
In a turn of events, Monsees — not following her coach's orders — left Kansas forward Jaclyn Johnson wide open underneath the basket. Instead, Monsees went after Kansas' leading scorer Lynn Pride, causing a jumpball and the turnover that ultimately would help seal the win.
"I knew they were going to go to Pride," Monsees said. "I waited to make a move and snuck up on her. Everyone in the gym knew they were going to Pride. It was no smart move on my part."
Stein's initial reaction to Monsees' bold move was worry — she was attempting to do something Missouri had had trouble with all season.
"When one of the kids makes a move
like that, the others are supposed to read off of her," Stein said. "That is something we have done this year, but we haven't always done it well. That's why I was nervous when she went out on Pride like that. I didn't know if the others were going to make the right read."
Against Kansas, Missouri relied on its seniors to make the key plays. Monsees made a key defensive play at the end, and Helm scored 22 points as well as breaking the school's three-point record. In her career as a Tiger, Helm has now hit 117.
"The key word is 'seniors,' and this is what we need from the seniors right now," Stein said. "This is nuts-and-bolts time, and we need the seniors to carry us through this because they've been through the war."
This win brings the Tigers one step closer to their ultimate goal of earning an NCAA berth.
"We set short-term and long-term goals, and the long-term is to go to the NCAAS and eventually win a championship," Stein said. "We've got to show every day now how bad we want to get there. I think this is a good start."

Already bidding for the Royals are David Glass, chairman of the Royals board and recently retired chief executive officer of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., and New York attorney Miles Prentice. Baseball owners rejected Prentice as a potential owner of the team, but he has said his bid remains on the table. Glass reentered the bidding process after Prentice was turned down.
YankeeNets to sell millions in junk bonds
NEW YORK — YankeeNets, the new company that controls the New York Yankees and the New Jersey Nets, is selling $250 million in junk bonds to complete the acquisition of the baseball team.
The seven year bonds recently were branded as junk by two major credit agencies because of the high risks in running the sports teams.
Yesterday, for example, the Yankees' troubled designated hitter, Darryl Strawberry, was sent off the field during his first spring training

Big salaries, unpredictable performance, strikes and lockouts were just some of the reasons the YankeeNets will have to pay investors more to borrow money.
Senator presents bill to award Ali medal
BOXING
WASHINGTON — From one athlete to another.
U. S. Sen. Jim Bunning, a baseball Hall of Famer, is urging his colleagues in Congress to honor another famous athlete and fellow Kentuckian - Muhammad Ali.
Burning introduced a bill in the Senate this week that would authorize President Clinton to award Ali with a Congressional Gold Medal. It is the highest civilian honor Congress can bestow upon an individual.
"Muhammad Ali is widely recognized as one of the greatest athletes of the 20th century," the Kentucky Republican said.
Bunning's bill highlights Ali's athletic accomplishments, including earning the gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics and winning the heavyweight boxing championship three times.
Barry Alberts, project manager for the planned Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, said Ali would be thrilled to hear the news. Alberts said the museum, dedicated to Ali's life and values, likely would open in 2002.
But Bunning said All's fight against Parkinson's Disease and his efforts to find a cure for the illness were just as admirable as any boxing bout.
HOCKEY
Boston defenseman gets ice suspension
NEW YORK — The NHL unleashed its full wrist on Matt McSorley, suspending the tough guy for the rest of the season and maybe more — in the harshest penalty ever on ice violence.
McSorley's two handed stick attack to the head of Vancouver's Donald Brashear on Monday will keep the Boston defenseman from playing in the Bruins' final 23 regular-season games and any playoff games in the unlikely event Boston qualifies.
The suspension will cost McSorley $72,000 in salary.
"Are we trying to make a state
ment? We're trying to right a wrong," said NHL vice president Colin Campbell, who handed out the punishment yesterday. "In this case, if a statement's made, that's fine, that's good. We don't want this to happen again, and hopefully, this has some input."
McSorley, who apologized repeatedly for his savage hit that knocked out Brashear, did not attend a scheduled disciplinary hearing at NHL headquarters yesterday on the advice of his lawyer. Before he can play again, he must meet with commissioner Gary Bettman and Campbell, who could decide to extend the suspension.

Ditka to return to TV as co-host NFL show
NEW YORK — Mike Ditka, fired last month as coach of the New Orleans Saints, is returning to television to be a co-host on CBS' NFL show.

Ditka worked as an NBC commentator for four years after being fired by the Chicago Bears after the 1992 season.
Ditka, who won a Super Bowl with the Bears in 1986, coached the Saints for three seasons. He followed a pair of 6-10 records with a 3-13 mark last season.

Soccer coach Mark Francis crumped up the "there's no 'I in team' club" and threw it in the trash when he drew up the blueprints for his team's spring goals.
"This spring, more than the team goals, it's going to be more about individuals," Francis said. "The spring season really, for us, is mostly about individual development and helping each person get better."
Quite the contrast from his fall-season format where team improvement was the main goal. But games during the spring are exhibition and do not count on the team's record, so it's a good time to focus on individual players' needs. Francis said.
Individual meetings were held last fall to identify areas each player needed to improve, and those areas are being emphasized this spring.
"We've got some team-oriented stuff, but we're working on individual skills so we can progress individually and as an all-around team," said Emma Díes Cresame, junior defender, who, along with junior midfielder Katie Lents, was voted team captain.
While individual improvement is the focus, Francis's squad still will focus on some team aspects. Most notable is a change in the defense, which the team worked on in practice yesterday.
"We're going to play a little bit different system next year," Francis said. "Hopefully, when we come back in August everybody will understand the system we're playing, and the new players will be able to fit into that."
The team has been practicing three days a week and lifting three days a week. In addition, two extra skills sessions have been offered each week. Even more encouraging is that while attendance has been voluntary, Francis said everyone had been showing up.
"They have been working extremely hard," Francis said. "It's been hard because you're training without games, so I think they're really anxious for our first competition."
That opportunity to play someone different will come March 4, when the team travels to Iowa for a nine-vs-nine indoor tournament. The team will play Big 10 conference power Indiana as well as Iowa. While facing another team is on the minds of the players, Di Cesare said they mainly were
"We're going to be able to work on a lot of different things we've been working on in practice," Di Cesare said. "Rather than always working on stuff in practice, we can actually do it at game pace."

Second-half romp secures 83-58 win
By Shawn Hutchinson
Kansan sportswriter
LINCOLN, Neb. — Eventually Nebraska was destined to fall onto its own knife. It was just a matter of when.
Nebraska committed 14 turnovers in the first half, 14 more in the second half, and that was plenty for No. 23 Kansas to cruise past the Cornhuskers last night in the Rob Devaney Center 83-58.
Nebraska's turnovers ranged from errant passes, to fumbled passes, to shot clock violations, to rudimentary travels. Those gifts helped the Jayhawks improve to 20-7 overall and 9-4 in the Big 12 Conference.
"We felt like we had to pressure them to get the turnovers," said Kansas coach Roy Williams, after his team came away with 15 steals on the night.
"Defensively it was a good effort for us, especially in the second half."
The Jayhawks needed an explosive second half because of their sluggish first half. The Cornhuskers, 10-16, 3-10, made a game out of it by shooting a blistering 54 percent from the field in the opening half.
Luckily for Kansas, Nebraska was in a turnover funk. Nebraska committed six turnovers in the first four minutes of the game, and Kansas jumped out to a 10-4 lead. That was enough to prompt Cornhusker coach Danny Nee to call a timeout and give his team an earful.
Nebraska rebounded for a 30-25 lead, primarily because Kansas couldn't find the basket. The Jayhawks eventually made a run and pulled even at halftime, 34-34.
"I think in the first half we did a horrible job on the offensive end," Williams said, referring to his team's 39 percent shooting from the floor. "But we kept after it and after it."
The Javhawks kept after it all right.
Kansas forward Nick Bradford scored 12 of his team-high 19 points in the second half, when the Jayhawks opened with a 9-9 run. Kirk Hinrich started the scoring with a three-pointer that eventually
bounced in, Nick Collison hit a bucket and Kenny Gregory added two lay-ins.
"The way we play we try to get in the passing lanes and get the ball."
The Jayhawks weren't even close to finished. They stepped on the defensive accelerator, kept after the ball on the offensive and defensive backboards, and finished the job with a 13-4 run late in the second half
Collison said. "In the second half we kind of bucked down and not where we needed to be."
The victory helped the Jayhawks reach the 20-win plateau for 11th straight season, and tied them for fourth place in the Big 12 with Missouri and Oklahoma.
"I think we kept the intensity up, and we executed," said Kansas forward Drew Gooden, who poured in 13 points to go with six rebounds. "The difference was our shot selection in the second half and our defense."
The Jayhawks' next game will come Saturday, when they will take on the Baylor Bears in Allen Fieldhouse at 7 p.m.
"We still have some tough games coming up," Bradford said. "We're going to celebrate this tonight, take tomorrow off and try to prepare for Baylor."

With her team down by one point with 10 seconds left. Pride got the ball again.
But she lost it — and the Kansas women lost their game 65-62 against Missouri last night at the Hearnes Center.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — With her team down by three points with 48 seconds left, Lynn Pride got the ball and scored.
The No. 25 Jayhawks, now 19-7 and 10-in the Big 12 Conference, also lost their share of the conference lead, falling a game behind Iowa State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma. But more importantly, Kansas lacked the composure it showed on the road against Iowa State — something it will need against Oklahoma Saturday in Norman, Okla.
"We just didn't have all cylinders working tonight," said coach Marian Washington. "Every player has to play at a certain intensity level, and we just didn't get it."
Kansas trailed 33-27 at halftime, in part because it committing seven unforced turnovers. Missouri increased its lead to as many as 10 points before the Jayhawks made a 2-36 run that gave them a 50-43 lead with 11:28 to play.
During that run, Kansas pushed the ball inside to junior forward Jaclyn Johnson, who scored 12 points. She made a few off-balance jump shots in the paint that counteracted Missouri baskets from guard Julie Helm, who finished with a game-high 22 points off 10
of-12 shooting.
Helm led the Tigers down the stretch, making a basket with 8:45 left that pulled her team within two points of the Jayhawks. After that point, Kansas' offense was sporadic.
"Offensively, we were out of sync the entire game," said junior guard Jennifer Jackson.
"We had stretches where we were looking for each other well and got the ball to open people. But offensively we just struggled tonight."
Missouri took a 57-56 lead before Pride's layup with 4:56 to go put Kansas ahead by one.
Kansas thought the key to a comeback would be as simple as handing the ball to Pride, who finished the game with 21 points on nine-for-16 shooting. She cut the deficit to one after her layup with 48 seconds remaining.
But the wheels fell off after junior forward Brooke Reves lost the ball after being trapped in a corner of the court and senior guard Suzi Raymant threw away a pass intended for Johnson. Those turnovers helped Missouri take a 63-60 lead with 1:05 left.
"I think we had people try to do to many things instead of trying to do what works, what's simple," Johnson said. "We have to think about what we do best and do that."
Marlena Williams missed a layup on the Tigers' next possession, and Johnson muscled for the rebound, giving Kansas a chance to win the game. But Pride was tied up by the Tigers' Amy Monsees, who
finished with 15 points, and the jump ball gave Missouri possession.
Kansas' press left Williams uncontested underneath the Tigers' basket, and her easy put-in pushed the Tigers' lead back to three with only seven seconds left.
"We were disappointed that we lost that player, yes," Washington said. "But it came when we mishandled our own opportunities in our half-court offense—it was just miscommunication.
"We had no choice to press and see if we could steal something, and we lost the player behind us," she said.

'Hawks slam Corpus Christi in third doubleheader sweep
By Amanda Kaschube
Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks flew out of the ballpark in Texas yesterday with their third double-header sweep of the season while fighting 30 mph winds and a barrage of hits from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the process.
In both games, the 'Hawks struck early — scoring the bulk of the runs in the first or second inning. With a combination of steady pitching and a consistent offensive effort, Kansas overwhelmed the first-season Islanders, 15-3 and 19-9, in two shortened games.
"I'm glad we won these games today.
The first game of the doubleheader marked the second time junior Pete Smart, 2-1, threw a complete game that was only five innings. The game was suspended in the fifth inning because of the 12-run rule. Smart gave up seven hits and three runs but said he didn't throw to his ability.
that's what's important," said coach Bobby Randall. "We're starting to get on track a little bit. We're getting better all the time."
"I didn't have my good stuff," he said.
"When you don't have your best stuff and you can win, that's a good thing. The defense played solidly."
In previous appearances on the mound, Smart has given up only one run. He said he

"They came out and hit our pitches hard,' he said. "Other surroundings such as the mound and the 30 mph win affected my play, too."
was hampered by a variety of disturbances yesterday.
Junior Brian Hoefer supplied much of the offensive effort — he had both a single and a double and knocked in four RBI. Junior Jesse Gremminger also scored twice, pushing the 'Hawks ahead, 10-2 after two innings.
The 'Hawks scored every inning from then on, highlighted by a two-run home run in the fifth by junior Brenton Del Chiaro, his first as a Jayhawk.
attacked in the second and scored 10 runs off of six walks and four hits.

Smart said the offense helped the team win despite his sub-par performance.
"The offense hit really well; they got their act together," he said.

Sports Editor commentary
The best coach at Kansas would never admit that he's anything special.
sports@kansan.com
Mike Miller
Track coach uses humor, work ethic to make mark
His athletes are flat-out good, and though he'd never take credit for it, he's a large part of that.
His athletes come in as freshmen with potential, and they leave as All Americans. Two have gone on to the Olympics, and many stay in the record books.
But Rick Attig, horizontal jumps and combined events coach for the track team, is an unparalleled winner.
The numbers speak for themselves. He's coached 30 conference champions, 31 All-American athletes and two NCAA record breakers — mostly pole vaulters, Attig's bread-and-butter event. That's what puts him at the top of the school's coaching echelon; he's the best coach at Kansas.
He attracts the best talent, and by the time it leaves, it's even better.
Listen to Andrea Branson, a junior pole-vaulter and four time All American. gush about Attic.
He started teaching himself and others, and before he knew it, he was into coaching. Twenty-six years later, he's still teaching.
"He's the best pole-vault coach in the country," she said.
Direct, to the point and probably understated.
Ashley Feinberg, a junior who was the top-ranked pole vaulter in the country in high school, explained that Kansas has pole-vaulting success because the best pole vaulters in the country want to come here to jump for Attig.
More amazing is that Attig taught himself how to pole vault. A gifted athlete who was a four-year letterman in football and track at Southwest Missouri State, the pole vault became Attig's favorite event.
It's not just the athletes because other coaches do the same thing. His jump camps during the summers attract jumpers as well as coaches. He's the author of the USA Track and Field pole vault manual and has served as the jumps coach for the U.S. Olympic Festivals. He's a nationally respected coach and teacher whose success is unquestioned.
"He's crazy," said Candy Mason, former All-American vaulter and current sprints and hurdles coach at Kansas. "He'll crack you up with a joke or some goofy thing."
Like any good coach, Attig not only has success on the field, but he endures himself to his athletes.
But there's another side, too.
His work ethic makes Attig a great story, regardless of his success.
"My stomach hurt, but I ate anyway," he said.
Two days later, he had trouble walking upright because his stomach hurt so bad. He thought he had food poisoning and went to the hospital where he learned his appendix had burst.
Last spring, Attig was eating after a track meet one Saturday when he felt sick to his stomach. The next morning it felt like the food wasn't digesting, he said.
So the doctors took it out, and he was back coaching a day later.
It's the best blend for success — top-notch athletes and a die-hard, knowledgeable coach with an easy-going demeanor. Put them together, and it makes Rick Attig the best coach at Kansas
But you'd never hear it from him.

Hitting the slopes in the spring
Students opt to spend break in mountains
By Kate Williams Kansan correspondent
Skiing and snowboarding offer students a chance to head for the mountains and leave their mid-semester frustrations at the top of the run.
One reason that skiing and snowboarding are good spring break options for University of Kansas students is obvious — Colorado. It's close, pretty easy to find and it has plenty of mountains.
Josh McCreary, an employee at Flatlanders Ski and Snowboard in Mission, said that Keystone, Summit County, Breckenridge and Vail were all good spring break destinations.
"They're all easy to get to, and there are plenty of condos available to rent," he said.
McCreary said that Flatlanders, which sells
"It's a great time to go." said Jeff Vanthullenar, another employee at Flatlanders. "There's a great party atmosphere and lots of snow. It's also toward the end of the season, so it's probably the last time you'll get to go for a while."

While skis, boots and poles are essential equipment — a jacket and ski pants are recommended, McCreary said a good thing about skiing during break was that thermal underwear and gloves were often the only extra clothing needed.
He also said that it was important, especially for first-time skiers, to remember that the person in front always has the right-of-way. Vanthullenar's advice is to drink a lot of water and take

Educational diversions found along Interstate 70 in Kansas
By Michael Sudhalter
Spring Break for many students means a trip to Cancun, Daytona Beach or South Padre Island for a week of fun.
Kansan Correspondent
But for the economically conscious student, a trip down I-70 can make up in educational worth what it lacks in party atmosphere.
The cost of visiting four selected sites — the Topeka Zoo, the Eisenhower Center in Abilene, the Garden of Eden in Lucas and the Gallery of Also Rans in Norton costs $11.50, not including food or gas.
Saxie Gulliford, the Zoo's secretary, said the Topeka Zoo was one of the first zoos to have a tropical rain forest. The usual fare of elephants, giraffes and hippos are accompanied by indoor and outdoor exhibits.
The I-70 Spring Break starts in Toneka at the world famous zoo.
Marissa Gillman, Chicago junior, said the Topeka Zoo was different than those in her hometown.
"I liked the hippopotamus exhibit, but the zoo lacked the variety of zoos in larger cities," she said.
Jessica Leuty. Topeka freshman, also enjoyed her experience.
The museum, a common destinations for school field trips, is located 115 miles from Lawrence and houses a 22-acre complex of the boyhood home of President Eisenhower, a visitors center and the chapel where Eisenhower and his wife were married.
"The Lions Pride exhibit is pretty cool, and it is a good place to take kids," Leuty said. The Eisenhower Center in Abilene is the next stop on the trip.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
To get where you want to go, travel may be required — and higher education, too. The scheme that works best takes you back to a familiar place in March. Move quickly to get the best deal in April. Pay close attention to an older person's instructions in May. Follow a strong leader to learn your trade in August. Excuse yourself to advance even further in November. Step into a new lifestyle in December and achieve a dream by late January.
Aries: Today is a 5.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day,
0 the most challenging.
This is going to be an emotional day for some people. You probably don't feel comfortable in emotional situations. You hate it when somebody nearby bursts into tears for no apparent reason. Make sure it's not over something you said. Mind your manners.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
There's quite a lot of behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing going on. If you want to stay in the loop, you're going to have to pay attention. Also, be respectful to the person most likely to be in control of the situation.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
Theoretically, this should be a good day for making money. It might not turn out quite as well as you hope, however. If somebody promises you something that's almost too good to be true, well, get a clue. Also, get it in writing.
Cancer: Todav is a 9.
Lots of different things will go quite well for you now. This is wonderful, especially after the garbage you've been through for the past few days. You could even make money, relatively easily. Express your talents and have a great day!
Leo: Today is a 5.
2
The emphasis today could be on emotions. Be calm and patient with a person who's easily upset. This could take up most of your day, but try not to get mad. Travel conditions are unfavorable anyway. Just take it slow and easy.
You may have the opportunity to learn something new. This could be a skill or craft that you can use to improve your lifestyle. Unfortunately, it conflicts with whatever you're doing now to pay the rent. This is a temporary condition.
Virao: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
C
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Others' nerves will be on edge today, and their feelings will be close to the surface. The best way to get on their good side is to ask for money-saving tips. Don't just ask, actually do these things and save money.
There could be quite a lot of confusion, but that's OK. Use it as your excuse to have meaningful conversations. The confusion didn't start today, but the flare-up now could inspire you all to clean up this mess. And that would be good.
Aaunarius: Today is a 5.
Sometimes you don't want to be bothered by a crowd, but today it could be interesting. You could learn something you didn't know before. You're also apt to encounter somebody you'd like to know better. So, get on out there and mingle!
LION
You may feel that something has to get done. That's partially because you're being nagged by your own conscience and partially due to nagging from an actual human being. Romance could be a hassle, too. Don't plan on getting together now; you have to work!
You're an analytical person. You can usually figure out whatever you need to know, through science or logic. Today that won't necessarily be the case. You'll experience pressures that aren't easily explained. So, take care, especially if money's concerned.
Things move along quickly, with opportunities and problems popping up here and there. You'll hear a lot about what works best for others. You care about them, of course, but it's up to you to speak up, too. Let them know what works best for you!

"Steamboat is really popular," he said. "It's more low-key and affordable than most places."
Boards, boots and bindings are the basic equipment needed for a week of snowboarding. Most
either can be bought or rented. Rental rates usually run about $50 a day, and purchasing a full set of equipment can cost anywhere from $250 to $1,000. The prices for lift tickets also vary greatly, but Vormehr said that cheap deals often could be found at supermarkets close to the ski area.
"Snowboarding doesn't take very long to learn, especially if you already know how to skateboard or ski," said Gabe Brummet, Lawrence freshman and Let It Ride employee.

Alternating between skiing and snowboarding is common during the week of spring break.
"Most people who snowboard already have ski clothes, so that is one less thing they have to buy," Vormehr said.
Brummet also said that snowboarding was easier on the body
than skiing.
"Your legs are both on the same board, so it doesn't hurt your knees as much," he said.
Snowboarding might be discouraging in the beginning, though.
"Don't give up." Vormeher said. "You'll hate it for the first few days, and then after that you'll love it."

Special to the Kansan
Nothing beats the thrill of the open road behind the wheel of a car full of friends who have high expectations for a fun and an adventurous spring break.
Except blowouts. And a frightening lack of money, no place to stay, no food and car troubles.
"There's nothing like spending your vacation waiting in the county garage," said Rob Wendland, owner of Wendland Performance Services.
The biggest mistake open road-minded students can make is to jump into a car they've just driven around town without knowing the condition of the car, Wendland said.
Before hitting the road for an extended trip, drivers should have their cars thoroughly checked out, including tires, belts and fluid levels. Wendland said.
Wendland also encourages student travelers not to wait until the last one or two days before the trip to take their cars to a mechanic.
"Nine out of 10 find they have something serious wrong with their car that can't be fixed in a day," he said.
The destination of the trip can help determine what parts of the car need special examination. Hot and cold climates can cause different problems on the road. Wendland said.
Travelers en route to the mountains should prepare for the snow and low visibility by checking the condition of their cars' wiper blades and the level of the wiper fluid, Wendland said. And because of the high elevation and icy roads, cars must have tires and breaks that are in good condition.
Beach-bound students should check the condition of the cooling
system, including fans and coolant fluid. he said.
"Spending the money for the maintenance and knowing the condition of the car can make all the difference." Wendland said.
"Make sure everyone brings money," said Sam Swiderski, Austin, Texas, junior.
However, automotive precautions are only part of the preparation for a road trip.
Some students said a lack of money could be disastrous when on the road.
"I lost my ATM card on the way to St. Louis," said Lee Vanzant, Shawnee freshman. "I prayed that I had enough gas to get home."
For any length of trip, food is as important to the driver and passengers as gas is to the car. Most students elect to bring an assortment of candy, chips and sodas, but a few others choose healthier alternatives.
Scott Raymond, Belton, Mo., junior, is a frequent road-tripper. For extended trips, he suggests filling a cooler with fruits and vegetable and having bottled water on hand.
"The last thing you want is to have Cokes and chips in your body." Raymond said. "Anything too sugary isn't going to sit well."
When traveling in a single car, too many passengers can make a road trip far from a pleasant ride. In the average sedan, four people is about the maximum capacity for comfort.
"If you have five, then people are going to have to put stuff on their laps," said Miles Bonny, Teaneck, N.J., freshman.
During any road trip with several people, rest stops should be taken seriously.
"Make sure everyone goes pee at the last restaurant before there aren't any," said Suzy Bae,
Overland Park freshman.
mclean Thompson, Pierre, S.D., freshman, said: "If you're driving across the upper Midwest, make sure to bring a cup, because you're going to need it."
Whether traveling across town or across the country, good music is an essential part of driving. Raymond said.
"It is something you've got to agree on before you get in the car," he said.
During most of his road trips, whoever is sitting in the front passenger seat chooses the music, Raymond said.
Other road trip recommendations from frequent travelers include a camera, underwear, socks and a first aid kit.
Bonny had an additional suggestion.
"I think you need to have condoms — if that's the kind of spring break you want to have," he said.

Students prepare bodies for spring break

Kansan correspondent
Students planning trips to warm destinations are getting ready to trade in scarves, gloves and peacoats for bikinis, shorts and sunscreen.
And some students are getting their fitness programs in full swing to give them added confidence when they hit the beach.
Popular fitness plans include KU Fit at Robinson Center, jogging along Jayhawk Boulevard and working out in the comfort of homes and residence hall rooms.
Instead of working out alone, many students are joining their friends for motivation to achieve their fitness goals.
Several residents of Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall have signed up for memberships at the Lawrence Athletic Club. One or two of them at a time go to work out for a few hours.
"Our whole hall just wanted to get toned and tanned bodies for this year's spring break," said Kristen Walters, Oklahoma City freshman. "Our motivation comes from each other and that we will look good when we hit the beach."
Residents of Delta Delta Delta sorority recently formed a walking club. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening after the dinner table has been cleared, they put on their walking shoes and hit a few miles of the streets.
"The walking club is another opportunity for girls in the house to get to know each other and at the same time doing something that is active and good for your health," said Emily Walz, Prairie Village freshman and creator of the club.
Many students are starting on their tans early and choosing diet plans to help improve their physiques.
While the recent diet trends, such as the protein diet, have been publicized widely, many students are opting for less restrictive diets and are trading late-night pizza and extra cookies for healthier snacks.
"Seeing the calorie and fat content of one slice of pizza makes you think twice before going for seconds," Kelly Johnson, St. Louis freshman, said.
Johnson said the campus dining facilities are helping out by including nutritional information cards at the food bar that include calorie and fat content for each entree.

Sunburns, STDs can put a damper on vacation fun
Students should take precautions for safe travel
By Warisa Chulindra writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
These precautions are to ensure she'll be prepared if she gets sick in Puerto Rico and Barbados during spring break.
When Palvih Bhana, Lawrence junior, packs for her seven-day cruise, she will include bottled water and plenty of medication.
I'm taking the whole medicine kit," Bhana said. "Tylenol, cough drops, motion sickness pills. I don't want to take the chance of getting any disease or getting sick. It would be the worst thing."
Students aren't immune to illnesses during spring break, and they may even return from with more than they bargained—a sunburn, an illness or a sexually transmitted diseases.
Spring break is a time for students to relax, and for some students this means drinking.
"It's a time for people to go away, have fun and drink lots," said Julie Francis, health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "People need to keep in mind so much happens when you consume a lot of alcohol."
The more alcohol people drink,
the more sexually active they were,
she said. If students have sex, they
should use condoms, Francis said.
When students drink, their judgment becomes impaired, she said. Students should beware of predatory drugs that could be slipped into their drinks. Rohyphol, also know as the rape drug, is legal in other countries including Mexico. Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate is another drug that has similar effects as Rohyphol, though not as severe. She advised students against drinking anything from a punch bowl and leaving their drinks unattended.
The most common sexually transmitted diseases KU students return from spring break with are genital warts and Chlamydia, Francis said. Chlamydia is caused by bacteria and can be contracted without people knowing because there are few symptoms, she said. Francis said the only sign is a painful, pussel discharge from the vagina or penis.
The beach isn't the only place for students run the risk of getting
STAYING HEALTHY
Use at least SPF 15 sunscreen, whether on the beach or on the slopes.
Drink responsibly. Watkins staff members say alcohol itself causes problems, and can lead to other risky behavior.
Practice safe sex. The most common diseases that KU students return from spring break with are genital warts and Chlamydia, Watkins staff members say.
Get vaccinated. Students travelling abroad may need extra shots, including hepatitis A typhoid and malaria, according to the Lawrence Douglas County Health Department.
sunburned. It also is important for students to use sunscreen if they go skiing.
"People don't think about the sun and how intense it is at high altitudes." Francis said.
Some students think if they go to tanning salons they are less likely to get sunburned. This is not true, she said.
"The tanner you get, the more damaged your skin becomes," Francis said.
She advised students to use sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 15 that protects against both ultra-violet A rays and ultraviolet B rays. Ultra-violet A rays penetrate the skin deeper, causing more wrinkles and an increased risk of cancer. Ultra-violet B rays are the type that cause sunburns.
Students traveling abroad should get vaccinations, said Barbara Schnitzer, director of nurses at the Lawrence Douglas County Health Department. What kind depends on the destination, though the most common are hepatitis A, typhoid and malaria.
Schnitker recommended students get vaccinations a few weeks before spring break to allow time for them to kick in.
For students who will be engaging in activities they may get cuts and bruises like rock climbing or backpacking, she suggested they get a tetanus shot. Schnitker also suggested getting a flu shot so students wouldn't get sick while they were on spring break.
It is important to remember some tropical and third world countries do not have high sanitation standards so food and water may be contaminated. Schnitker said. She encouraged students to exercise caution and drink bottled water or other bottled drinks.

Alternative Spring Break trips offer rewards

Students volunteer at service projects across the country
By Michael Sudhalter Kansan correspondent
Spring break usually is a time when students have fun in a warm climate or return home for a weeklong break from the rigors of university life.
However, KU students participating in the Alternative Spring Break program are looking forward to volunteering for projects at sites across the country.
"We have groups traveling to 14 different sites across the United States for this program," said program director Shelly Walston, Wichita junior.
The programs include working at homeless shelters and soup kitchens and on nature conservation and health projects. To participate in the trip, students must take a course called University Projects in the Community, which meets once a week.
E. J. Reedy, Topeka junior, was codirector of last year's Alternative Spring Break trips. He went on the trip to the Center for Creative Non-Violence in Washington, D.C., the nation's largest homeless shelter.
"We had 10 people in our group, and we worked all around Washington, D.C. helping at a soup kitchen and caring for the children of welfare mothers," he said.
Reedy said he remembered his interaction with the people staying at the homeless shelter.
"It seemed scary at first to stay at a homeless shelter, but we interacted with the people there, playing cards with them at night," he said.
His freshman year, Reedy went on an Alternative Spring Break trip to the Cleveland area, where his group worked on projects for
the environment.
"We did beach clean-up along Lake Erie and took a group of inner-city kids to see a farm area," he said.
Reedy said that his spring break experiences were exciting and rewarding but that he decided not to participate in this year's program because he wanted other students to have similar experiences.
Loretta Wyrick, Emporia junior,
will supervise the trip to Tahlequah.
Okla., for the Cherokee Nation Head Start project. The group will help the children in the classrooms and work on building maintenance. This will be Wyrick's second year to work with the Head Start program.
"I think that the Alternative Spring Break program is eye-opening, and you feel like you gained something when you get back to KU." said Wyrick.
She said the trip was very mean.
ingful to all of the participants.
"We had a great experience last year where we learned a lot about Cherokee culture and helped educate young children," she said.
In addition to the KU students participating in this year's Head Start trip, three Lawrence High School students and one Free State High School student will volunteer.
"The Alternative Spring Break program teaches the students a lot about our country and a lot about ourselves," Wyrick said.

Students search for vacation spots
Money, location primary factors for KU travelers
By Kara Ryckman
Kansan corresponden
Home sweet home is exactly what some college students avoid as spring break approaches.
Homesickness, stress and
Many key factors are weighed as students select their spring break locations.
Some eager students looking for fun and excitement in a typically unchaperoned environment may begin planning their trips and adventures in early fall. Others procrastinate and wait to make plans because of stress from classes or their faith in the groundhog's predictions.
mom's meatloaf persuade some students to get back to their roots and spend the week free of instant macaroni and cheese and laundry duty.
"I've been wanting to visit my best friend, and spring break is the only time I could get away," she said.
Jessica Stretz, Albuquerque,
N.M., freshman, decided to
make that kind of trip.
Kayla Monson, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, had her sights set on Cancun, Mexico, a resort town that attracts college students across the country because of its warm climate and party atmosphere.
"We knew people who had been there before, so we got organized and it ended up being fairly inexpensive," she said.
However, some students prefer

to opt for a cozy cabin and a pair of skis in a cooler environment.
Evan Flett, Ottawa freshman,
said he chose a trip to Colorado
because it was a tradition for him.
"A couple of my friends and I have been taking the road trip up to the mountains for years now," he said. "We even videotape ourselves on the way so we can remember the craziness that goes on."
"After my girlfriend spent Thanksgiving with my family, her parents offered to buy me a plane ticket so I could return the visit over break," he said.
Whatever the destination, money plays a large role in spring break plans. The price tag is a little hard to swallow for some students after airfare and accommodations are factored in. However, group rates and parents' generosity help some find the extra cash.
Dale Ziegler, Lenexa sophomore, hit the jackpot by inviting his girlfriend to dinner.
Unfortunately, not all students are given the choice or the chance to express their preference of destination.
"I'll go wherever my parents let me go," said Jen Winters, Quincy, Ill., freshman.
Scramble for spring break cash is under way
By Brooke Hesler
Kansan Correspondent
It is one of the few warm days in February, and already thoughts of spring break are popping into Kate Hackett's mind. Hackett, an Overland Park freshman, said she had money on the brain. She said she wanted the money fast and needed the money before the cruise she was taking with her family this March.
Hackett is not alone. Many students find themselves in need of additional dollars before heading off to various spring break destinations. However, instead of a more traditional part-time job, Hackett chose a less time-consuming method of money making: She donates plasma.
She jumps into her 1990 Ford Escort and heads off to NABI Biomedical Center, 816 W.24th St., where the procedure is performed.
"I've given blood before, so I'm not worried about the pain factor," Hackett said. "I like the idea of giving plasma because it's a way of helping people and profiting from it."
Hackett said she planned to give plasma once a week until the end of March. She said she made around $20 per donation depending on specials that the center offered at that time.
Chris Zampas, Leawood freshman, is also in the market for money. He said that although his parents gave him an allowance, unexpected expenses had made a job a necessity if he wanted to take
a road trip with his friends during the break.
"The allowance helps with late night chalupa runs at Taco Bell," Zampas said. "It serves its purpose there, but it's not enough to pay for some of my car problems and my spring break. I can't say I'm looking forward to working, but it's going to put money in my pocket, which is definitely a positive thing."
The film student said he applied for a job at two of the movie theaters in Lawrence and also at a blockbuster Video. However, he said Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar, 2520 Iowa St., was probably where he would end up working.
"My dad knows some people there," Zampas said. "I'm sure I'll make some new friends and have a
semi-good time. It is a job, though."
He said gas money, food and entertainment probably would be the only things he for which he would have to pay.
"A road trip isn't as expensive as flying somewhere, so I can save some of my money for other things." Zampas said.
Mike Smith, Kansas City, Kan,
sophomore, said he would need
money to pay for a flight. He said
that he was planning a trip to
Cancun, Mexico and that to save up,
he was working as a waiter at BD's
Mongolian Barbecue in Overland
Park. Smith said his part-time job
required a lot of prioritizing.
"It's hard, balancing school and work, but I think I can manage it well and still earn enough to go on vacation," Smith said.

Spring break is supposed to be a time for relaxation, not frustration. But for some students, coordinating all the vacation necessities such as airline tickets, hotel reservations and ground transportation is difficult without the help of a professional.

"People like the convenience of researching their trip on their own," said Trisha Robinow at BananaTravel.com. "They feel they're in control."
Because local travel agencies are swamped with clientele this time of year, many students are turning to the Internet for help.
Online agencies also offer students with hectic class and work schedules the convenience of 24-hour access to airline ticket information.
Online ticket shopping is becoming increasingly popular for student searching for the best deals on airfares. Photo by Tara Kraus/KANSAN
"Airline fares are changing constantly." Robinow said. "If you have to wait to get your travel agent on the phone, the ticket price you want may be gone. Also, many people don't have time for trip-planning until after work or class. Most of our business is conducted after 6 p.m."
Even with the growing popularity of online travel shopping, travelers still have privacy concerns.
Many local travel agencies close at 5 p.m.
they choose not to make reservations online," said Pam Griffith, an employee at Holiday Travel, 2112 W. 25th St. "People are afraid to give personal information, including credit card numbers, over the Internet."
Robinow said this was an unnecessary concern.
"Credit card number are encrypted before they're sent over the Net," she said. "As for personal information, at BananaTravel.com we keep all names, phone numbers, etc. in a database so we can inform our customers of our company's updates. We never sell this information."
Correcting booking mistakes is another concern for travelers. For many online travel services, a simple e-mail requesting a change will solve this problem.
"As long as an e-mail is sent to us before the Monday following the date the reservations were made, we will make the changes at no charge," Robinow said.
Though they offer convenience
ability, online travel companies may not be the best choice for students making complex spring break plans.
"Anyone can book you a trip to Dallas and back," Griffith said. "But for elaborate trip planning and cheap travel packages, online isn't the way to go."
Robinow agreed.
"We don't offer many travel packages," she said. "Right now, our site only offers a Hawaii package, and there are no spring break discounts."
Robinow, a travel agent for 10 years, said that there was room in the market for both kinds of travel agencies.
Planning makes travel possible on tight budgets
Students can travel world-wide using research, creativity
By Kate Williams
Kansan correspondent
"Poor" and "college student" go together like peanut butter and jelly or rum and coke.
Because of this, many students find that while they want to have fun during spring break, they also need to save money. Contrary to popular belief, cheap spring break travel is possible. It may require a little advance planning and some originality.
Carrie Gray, Portland, Ore., senior, and Keith Hagan, Oklahoma City senior, are both interns at Council Travel, 622 W. 12th St., and have experience traveling on a tight budget. They have traveled extensively. "I've traveled a lot and I've never gone with a lot of money," Grav said.
Both Gray and Hagan have spent a lot of time in Europe and say that there are advantages and disadvantages to traveling overseas compared to traveling in the United States. "Everyone speaks English here so that makes it easier."
Hagan said. "But I think that Europe is more conducive to travel, especially if you are a student."
He said that the easy access to trains, buses and subways made it easy to get to most sites and cities in Europe as opposed to the United States, where driving is often the only option.
"You have to be 25 to rent a car here," Gray said. "So if you're not 25 and can't get a car, your options are pretty limited."
Both said that the first step to traveling cheaply in Europe was to get an International Student Identity Card. The card allows students access to discounted rates on everything from airfare and rail passes to selected museums and restaurants.
After the ID card, Gray said the most helpful thing was a guidebook such as Lonely Planet or Let's Go, which target budget travelers. Guidebooks often give advice on everything from nightclubs to hotels and also provide necessary information on exchange rates and safety.
For her, that sacrifice is food. "Don't eat fancy; shop at grocery stores," she said.
"The key to traveling cheaply is to figure out what you want to sacrifice." Gray said.
Hagan said that in Europe,
"The key to traveling cheaply is figuring out what you want to sacrifice."
Carrie Gray Portland senior
what is cheapest will often vary from region to region.
"When you're traveling, you're there to see things, not eat," he said. "When I was in France, cheese was cheap, so I had bread and cheese for lunch and dinner. In Germany, sausage was cheap, so I ate sausage."
Another way to save money is on accommodations. Hostels are cheaper than hotels and are often geared toward younger people and students. Hagan said not to spend money on private rooms, as buns are often half the price.
"Chances are, you won't want to be in your room during the day, and at night you'll just come back and pass out," he said.
Group trips may be the best option for short trips such as spring break, but independent travel is also possible.
"It depends on your comfort
level." Hagan said. "If you're really worried about it, go with a group. But group trips do tend to drown out personal time."
Learning about the customs of a country or region will help save money as well as get the most out of an experience. Gray said that it was important to look around and not buy the first package or tour that was offered.
"When we were in Egypt, we wanted to go on a tour of the pyramids and just got the first one we came across," she said. "It was great, but if we would have waited a week, we could have gone for about half as much."
Being careful about purchases is the most practical and biggest way to save money. Know what is going to be useful and don't buy something if it is not. Rail passes are popular but aren't a good deal unless lots of travel is planned. Hagan also said learning how to bargain and barter is useful, as well as being practical about purchases.
"We were in Greece for one day and bought a hookah pipe and a metal helmet." Gray said. "Then we spent the next two weeks traveling and had to carry them around the entire time."

Some find fun, relaxation in Lawrence
Students to use break for work studying, rest
By Stephanie Jones Kansan correspondent
Corey Smith, Lawrence freshman, said she was looking forward to her spring break for the same reasons other students were — only she would be in a different place.
Smith is not planning a fancy vacation, instead she plans to spend her break in Lawrence.
"It's a little depressing to hear people talk about all the exotic
places they're planning on going to because I can't afford a vacation," she said. "But I'm thinking about going to the tanning beds and maybe doing a little shopping so I can feel like I did something over spring break."
Some students said that Kansas City and Lawrence were not the most luxurious places to spend the break but that they chose to stay home because they wanted to.
"I look at spring break as a good week of work to make some extra money," said Rob Taylor. Seattle junior.
“It's a little depressing to hear people talk about all the exotic places they're planning on going to because I can't afford a vacation."
Smith agreed with Taylor and said she would try to make some extra money during break while other students were spending it on a vacation.
"It's also nice to have a lot of free time for a change," Smith said. "A lot of people are going out of town, so its not like I'm missing anything since all my friends will be gone. I might as well be working and making money."
Corey Smith
Lawrence and the surrounding area don't have any beaches, mountains or national monuments; however, students said
Lawrence freshman
they could find a lot to keep them busy.
"I like to go to Kansas City for the shopping." Smith said. "Oak Park Mall and Town Center Plaza are good places to go."
Taylor agreed that Kansas City was a good place to escape.
"The restaurants in Kansas City are a lot nicer if you want to do something special," he said.
Break road trips often filled with bumps
Kansan correspondent
By Lauren Brandenburg
The drive to South Padre Island, Texas, for spring break last year was nothing like what Courtney Stultz had envisioned.
Stultz, Baldwin sophomore, and her friends were so excited to begin their vacation that they drove straight there with few stops.
"If we would have taken the time to eat more or stay in a hotel, it would have been better." she said. "I drove 17 hours straight because
nobody else wanted to drive. They kind of partied on the way down there, while I had to take it seriously."
When the group finally arrived in South Padre, Stultz was exhausted while all of her friends were ready to go right to the beach.
Katie Mitchell, Solon, Iowa, freshman, also experienced some disappointments while taking a road trip. She took a trip with friends last summer during which she said every part of the road trip was great, except the "road" part.
"Driving was the worst part because we had four people who all thought they knew the best route, the best speed, the best place to get gas, how often to stop," she said.
Despite last year's problems, Mitchell said she planned to take a road trip with the same people again this summer.
Mitchell's decision to plan another road trip despite the problems is not unique. Even with the mishaps, some students continue to take road trips. Curt Elsbury, Topeka freshman, said he and his friends
fought a lot in the car during one of their road trips, but that it still was fun and worth it. He said they were thinking of making the trip a tradition.
Stultz offered some advice for those students planning road trips.
"Make sure you have more than one person to drive, because a lot of people don't want people to drive their car or people don't want to drive someone else's car," Stultz said. "Make sure you take lots of breaks just to stretch."

Assistant professor wins Grammy
804 Massachusetts St. • Lawrence, Ks. • (785) 843-5000
Chris Moore, assistant professor of music, won a Grammy last night.
But he didn't get to accent it.
But he didn't get to accept Moore, one member of The Chestnut Brass Co., was nominated for the Best Classical Crossover Album. The group won the award, but Moore was stuck in Los Angeles traffic and was not there for the announcement, said Charla Jenkins, a public relations representative for the department of music and dance.
A brass quintet, the Chestnut Brass Co., was nominated for the album *Hornsmoke*. In a Feb. 8 Kansan article, Moore described the album as tongue-in-cheek classical music. The classical crossover award is reserved for when a classical artist plays something kind of hip, he said.
The award was not part of the televised portion of the six-hour ceremony. Only 12 of the 100 categories were televised last night.

TV marriage goes down the tube
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The woman who married a multimillionaire on national television has something in common with other Las Vegas brides: She woke up shortly after her wedding wondering, "What was I thinking?"
this morning.
Darva Conger described her odyssey on Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire as a vacation spun out of control. Now she wants her life back.
"I don't think I was thinking clearly," Conger, a nurse and Gulf War veteran, said on Good Morning America Wednesday, a week after marrying a stranger in a television spectacle. "I committed an error in judgment."
The Fox special Feb. 15 was a ratings sensation that quickly backfired after criticism by women's groups and revelations that Rockwell been accused of threatening an ex-girlfriend. He denies the accusations.
A few hours later, her new husband, Rick Rockwell, taped an interview across town with ABC's Diane Sawyer to air
Conger, 34, said Rockwell wasn't abusive toward her, but she said they didn't spent much time together. They barely spoke on their one-week honeymoon cruise to Barbados.
"The honest truth is I was very uncomfortable around him, and I spent most of the time with the girl that chaperoned me," she said. "He's just not a person ... that I would ordinarily have even a friendly relationship with."
She said she was taken aback when Rockwell, 42, kissed her on the lips after his television proposal was accepted. Conger said she was terrified but went along with the wedding
because she didn't want to disappoint the show's producers.
She said she only got involved because she wanted a Las Vegas vacation and a chance to wave to her family on TV. Rockwell chose her from among 50 women vying for his nod in bathing suits and wedding gowns.
"Never in a million years did I ever think that I was going to be selected," Conger said. "And somewhere in the back of my mind I thought, OK, if I am selected by the man to be iis bride, he's got to take it in the same way that I do. It's a TV show."
Within 36 hours, she said she told Rockwell that she wasn't attracted to him and that the marriage wouldn't work out.
Conger, who gets to keep her diamond wedding ring and was given an Isuzu Trooper and the Caribbean cruise by Fox, said she just wants a normal life again.
Rapper Sean 'Puffy' Combs indicted on bribery charge
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Rap artist Sean "Puffy" Combs was indicted Wednesday along with his bodyguard on charges of bribing a witness.
Combs and Anthony "Wolf" Jones are accused of offering Combs' driver, Wardel Fenderson, $50,000 and a diamond ring to say he owned a gun police found as Combs drove away from a New York nightclub where a shooting had occurred.
"I am outraged by this new charge." Combs said in a statement. "I am not guilty. From the outset I have firmly believed that the Manhattan district attorney's office has unfairly targeted me for baseless charges."
Combs, 30, already faces gun possession charges in connection with the Dec. 27 shooting.
Combs, Jones and Fenderson were arrested after one of Combs' rap proteges allegedly shot and wounded three people inside the club. The suspect, Jamal "Shyne" Barrow, 19, was arrested separately.
Authorities said the shooting stemmed from an argument in which an unidentified man threw money in Combs' face. Both Combs and Barrow are accused of pulling guns.
The weapon Combs allegedly wanted Fenderson to claim was a loaded 9 mm automatic that police found on the floor of the vehicle. Fenderson was driving; Combs, Jones and actress-singer Jennifer Lopez were passengers.
Combs was arraigned on weapons charges earlier this month. The bribery charge carries a penalty of seven years in prison.

Commercial cats
Popularity of felines benefits local stores
By Jim O'Malley writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Small, furry business partners are at work 24 hours a day, seven days a week in downtown Lawrence. They're the shop cats.
Shopkeepers say the cats are good for business, but because they're cats, they seem to consider themselves in charge.
"She's like the master of the store," said Sara Schwartz, St. Louis senior and sales associate."She lives here all the time.She's demanding all the time.She's always waiting in the morning expecting treats.
Sophie, a black-and-white short hair, is the boss at Natural Way Fine Gifts and Exotic Jewelry, 820 Massachusetts St.
"Sophie is a moody boss. There's days when she wants everybody to pet her, days when she snaps at everyone, and days when all she wants to do is sleep," she said.
But Sophie brings something to the business, too.
"The owners say it's kind of like
advertising." Schwartz said. "People come in to see Sophie."
One minor disadvantage to having a shop cat is that some customers are allergic to cats, but Schwartz said it was a bigger problem for her than for customers.
"I'm allergic, too," she said. "I don't pet her. She knows it so she likes to rub up against me."
Love Garden Sounds/Arts
Multiplex, 936/1-2 Massachusetts
St., has four live-in cats: Cayenne,
Lulu, Kandy and Jack. Jon
Harrison, Love Garden's "record
guy," said Jack and Cayenne had
been there eight or nine years,
several years longer than him.
"They've got seniority," he said. "And don't think they don't remind me."
Harrison said the cats were an asset to the store.
"Some people come in just to see the cats," she said. "We're attached to them even though they're not the nicest cats I've ever met. Cayenne is reasonably sweet, but the rest of them tend toward crankiness."
Short biographies of the cats posted in the store say that "Kandy has mellowed from a comically grouchy psych-kitty to a comically grouchy layabout."
Lulu's biography calls her a little bundle of fury who has gone quite mad. And although the sign says Cayenne is sweet and loving, it also says customers are not to pick her up.
But even so, customers seem to appreciate the cats, especially Jack, who is featured on the store's T-shirts and advertisements.
At Game Guy, 7 E. Seventh St., Kiki — a gray-striped American short hair — keeps owner Brian Harris company and brings people into the store. He started keeping Kiki there because when he adopted her, his apartment complex didn't allow pets. It has worked out well for Kiki. Harris said.
"She gets lots of attention, sleeps on the computer and goes in the back when she wants to be alone," he said.
Alice lives in The Dusty Bookshelf, 708 Massachusetts St. Sharon Heese, manager, said Alice was definitely an asset to the store. Alice adds a homey touch and fits in nicely with the window displays, she said.
The white man simply
Alice's duties aren't too heavy.
"She gets lots of love and lots of petting from customers," Heese said. "I think she's got it pretty good."
Trial draws professor away from classroom
Students say learning suffers from absence
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The discrimination lawsuit against the University of Kansas is hurting one professor's performance in the classroom. students say.
Some students in the Print and Online Design class, taught by Mike Cuenca, assistant professor of journalism, say they are not learning this semester because he spends much of the class discussing the lawsuit brought by Cynthia Annett, former assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, and her husband, Ray Pierotti, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
Cuenca, who is Filipino American, learned last fall that he would not receive tenure and has brought a discrimination lawsuit of his own against the University. No trial date has been set.
However, Cuenca attends Annett and Plerotti's trial nearly every day in Kansas City, Kan., and has canceled two of the design class' six meetings, including today's class, sparking criticism from students and the chairman of the
news and information sequence in the school.
Many students did not feel comfortable giving their names because they feared grade retaliation but said their learning had suffered as a result.
"I learned more in a one- and-a-half hour workshop I took last semester than I have in five weeks in this class," one female student said.
Students said that Cuena spent at least the first 20 minutes of each class talking to them about Annett and Pierotti's lawsuit.
"It's like a divorce, and the kids are being dragged through the mud," said a male student in the class.
Cuenca denied that he spent 20 minutes of each class talking about the lawsuit and said his students were learning. But he said the students' learning had suffered because of his situation.
Still, of the 21 students in the design class, eight said that they had not learned anything and that Cuenca spent much of each class talking about the case. One said the class was learning, and another refused to answer questions. The remaining students could not be reached for comment or were Kansan staff members. Kansan policy is that staff members cannot be used as sources.
See PROFESSOR on page 6A
Statement from Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism and chairman of the news and information sequence:
"One part of my job as news chair is to make sure that students get the instruction they paid for. My private query to Professor Cuenca, which he has now made public by e-mailing it to 20 students and perhaps others, asks why he has missed four of the last six classes and how sending students to the trial of a discrimination lawsuit involving his friends instead of his classes teaches them anything about newspaper design.
Now that he has made my memo part of his public assertion that he has been discriminated against because he is Filipino American, I cannot let such an accusation go unanswered. Speaking as someone who is married to a Filipino American, received an award from the NAACP [National Association for the Advancement of Colored People] for battling racism, and participated fully in the hiring and evaluation of Professor Cuenca, I can say without doubt that his ethnicity had no role in the process whatsoever, with one exception: the fact he is a minority was viewed by the dean and faculty as a positive when he was hired.
Any suggestion that the current or former journalism dean, provost or members of the journalism faculty were motivated by racism is an unwarnished falsehood and an unwarranted attack on their characters that is not supported by a shred of evidence. Professor Cuenca and all of us on the journalism faculty are evaluated against high expectations of research and writing, collegial service and good classroom teaching, including the expectation that we show up to teach our classes.
Many of us on the faculty are concerned that such accusations, even though they are false, may have an adverse impact on the recruiting of minority faculty and students, which is a top priority for the School of Journalism."

Learned Hall evacuated after detection of gas
A gas leak in Learned Hall caused the building to be evacuated just after 5 p.m. yesterday. The smell dissipated quickly, and students and faculty returned to the building moments later.
Sgt. Tey Augusto of the KU Public Safety Office said someone called and reported an odor at 5:04 p.m. He said one of his officers detected a gas leak and pulled the alarm to evacuate the building.
James King, captain of the Lawrence fire department, said he and his crew also were dispatched to inspect the natural gas odor, which was in the southwest corner of the lower part of the building.
King said firemen inspected the area and the rooms above it and could not find any other odor. Not long after that, he said, the original odor dissipated and went away.
He said he could not confirm what caused the leak but that somebody might have left a gas valve open.

Greek associations receive national honor
Last year's KU Interfraternity Council and KU Pankhellenic Association were recognized as the nation's top greek programs at the Mid-America Greek Conference Association last weekend.
This year's council officers accepted the Jellison Award, which is named for Bill Jellison, the founder of the Mid-America Interfraternity Council Association. This year's Panhellenic officers accepted the Sutherland Award, which is named for Shelley Sutherland, an instrumental figure in founding the Mid-America Panhellenic Council Association.
Chace Ramey, KU Interfraternity Council president and Kansas City, Mo., junior, said the Greek programs were divided into four divisions based on the number of chapters on campus
— division one having the fewest chapters on campus and division four having the most chapters on campus. KU's sorority and fraternity organizations are both in the third division. Ramey and 27 other KU Greek officers and chapter presidents joined about 1,640 others from distinguished greek programs around the Midwest. — Ivain Meyer

Edwards Campus has summer class offerings
Classrooms at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park son will be filled with more than just graduate students.
Beginning this summer, about 30 courses will be offered to undergraduate students who want to complete bachelor's degrees. They will be taught by faculty of the Lawrence campus.
Bruce Lindvall, associate dean on the Edwards Campus, said the goal was to have 25 students per class.
The decision on what courses would be taught was left to the faculty in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, he said.
He said the summer courses would allow students who lived in the Kansas City area during the break to take courses that would help them complete their degrees.
The summer courses will begin and end the same time as those at the Lawrence Campus — June 6 through July 29.

Car burglaries reported at Sixth Street complex
A rash of car burglaries early yester-
day morning at a Sixth Street apart-
ment complex left five KU students with
broken windows and missing property.
A 20-year-old student heard a noise outside his residence at Trailridge Apartments, 2500 W. Sixth St., between 12:40 and 12:50 a.m. yesterday, said Lawrence police Sgt. Richard Nickell. The victim saw an 18-to-20-year-old female suspect looking in vehicles, and he went outside to confront her, Nickell said. The suspect ran away. The victim described a second suspect in the area as an 18-year-old male.
The victim found his speaker box, containing speakers and an amplifier, leaning against his truck, Nickell said. The suspect apparently shattered the truck's rear window to remove the speaker box, which caused $200 of damage, he said.

WSU classes resume after evening fire
STATE
WICHTA, Kan. — Classes resumed yesterday morning in Wichita State University's engineering building as cleanup and investigation continued into a fire that caused the evacuation of students attending Wednesday night classes.
Students conducting an experiment with hydraulic fluid during a class earlier in the day set off the fire, police said. The liquid seeped into a burner, apparently smoldered for hours and then burst into flames.
Wichita State officials said preliminary damage estimates were between $50,000 and $75,000. One hallway on the second floor of Wallace Hall and two labs are temporarily closed for cleanup.
About 100 students attending evening classes were forced to evacuate Wallace Hall when the building caught fire just after 8 p.m., said Brad Crisp, Wichita Fire Department spokesman. No injuries were reported.
One room between two labs suffered extensive damage, WSU officials said. The smoke-damaged labs are being cleaned, they said in a news release.

Texas woman executed for killing husband
Betty Lou Beets became the fourth woman to be executed in the United States since the Supreme Court in 1976 allowed the death penalty to resume. She was the second woman executed in Texas since the Civil War.
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A 62-year-old woman was executed by injection yesterday after Gov. George W. Bush rejected her claim that she killed her fifth husband in self-defense and deserved a reprieve.
During his 51/2 years as governor, 120 convicted killers have been executed in Texas, and Bush has said he is certain all of them were guilty. He spared one condemned inmate whose guilt, he said, was in doubt.
Prosecutors said Beets shot and killed two of her husbands, but she was only tried in the death of her fifth husband, Dallas Fire Captain Jimmy Don Beets, nearly 17 years ago. Prosecutors said she killed him to collect his life insurance and pension.
Beets and her lawyers insisted the former bartender-waitress was the victim of years of domestic abuse and should be allowed to live.

Robert Page was surprised when he learned yesterday that he won the 14th annual CLASS award.
"It was very much a shock," said Page, the associate director of Multicultural Affairs. "I was kind of overwhelmed, I didn't expect to win."
The Citation for Leadership and Achievement in Student Services, first established by the class of 1987, is awarded each year by the senior class to a student services employee.
"It's the equivalent to the HOPE award," said senior class president Jonathan Alt, Winnetka, III. senior. "It is an award that recognizes an outstanding staff member
that works for student services."
that works for student services. HOPE awards are given to 20 outstanding teachers each year.
Att said nomination forms for the CLASS award were distributed to all Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center groups, as well as various living organizations. Finalists were chosen from the applications. Each finalist was interviewed by the senior class officers and senior advisory board—a group of about 15 to 20 members. The group of seniors selected the winner after the interviewing process.
"It was an honor just to be nominated. I was just happy for that." Page said. "What was more touching for me was the fact that students wrote so many letters — that was heartwarmed."
Alt said board members were
impressed after their interviews with Pace.
"We all just could tell from the interview that he has gotten in touch with so many students and really had an impact on many different student's lives." Alt said.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway along with the senior officers will present the award tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse during halftime of the Kansas men's basketball game against Baylor.

Policies to prevent cheating vary
Some don't allow students to leave tests
Paul Silkner thought the honor code governed testing situations at the University of Kansas.

But last week, a graduate teaching assistant, escorted the Lawrence senior to the restroom during an exam to make sure he wouldn't cheat.
"I told him I was going to use the bathroom, and he said "You can't do that." Silkiner said. "I told him it wasn't a matter of choice."
Silkiner said the GTA didn't wait outside the restroom door. Instead, he escorted him all the way to the urinal, where he stood guard, making sure he did not cheat.
"You can't get more bottom-line than making sure I'm not pulling a note out of my underwear," Silkiner said. "This is penitentiary-level security."
pentesting. But his situation seems to be more the exception than the rule, some faculty and administrators say.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost, said there was not a University policy that addressed the issue of whether students could leave the room during a test.
"We try to stay away from something that specific," she said. "It's at the faculty's discretion how they're going to monitor the exam."
we work a little bit on trust here," he said. "We try to treat students as if they were adults and proceed from there."
Jack Porter, professor of mathematics and department chair, said he always let students leave tests to use the restroom.
But, he said that it would be difficult to cheat on a math exam.
"They either know the material before the test, or they're in trouble," Porter said.
John Gauch, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, said he made judgments based on the circumstances in individual cases.
"I ask myself if this person has been looking suspicious on other occasions," he said.
He said that establishing a department-wide policy on whether students could leave during tests had never been a subject of conversation.
jeff or colin said.
"A good question for a faculty meeting would be 'How are we going to deal with this?'" Gauch said.
The University Testing Service administers standardized tests — such as the GRE, LSAT and MCAT. It offers both computerized and paper-based testing.
Melissa Fast, assistant director of testing services, said that although there were rules about the number of pencils and sheets of scratch paper a person could have during a test, test takers would be allowed to leave at any time to use the restroom.
"You are allowed to go to the restroom on any standardized test, but you have to leave your testing materials in the room," she said. "And your time keeps going if it's a timed portion of the test."
"I told him I was going to use the bathroom, and he said 'You can't do that.' I told him it wasn't a matter of choice."
Paul Silkiner
Lawrence senior
"Students don't have a reason to leave the exam until they're done with it," he said.
However, Tom Volek, associate professor of journalism and associate professor of Russian and East European studies, said he thought it was unrealistic not to worry about students cheating.
He said he didn't allow students to leave tests to use the restroom, nor does he allow latecomers to begin a test once another student has left the room. He said he generally gave the rules one session ahead of the exam to remind students they weren't allowed to leave.
Richard Hardin, professor of English and department chair, said that because English classes often involved in-class essay assignments, the atmosphere was fairly liberal.
"Most of my tests are writing assignments where the answers are not written on the wall somewhere," he said.
When thinking about what he went through, Silkiner said he laughs — but he still is offended that the GTA questioned his integrity.
Council approves course-retake policy
"We're supposed to have an honor code," he said. "Idealistically, we're all here for an education."
Bill may avoid scarring GPAs when students repeat courses
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students who wish their bad grades could be erased are one step closer to having their wishes fulfilled.
After considerable debate yesterday, University Council approved 20-11 a proposed amendment to the course-repetition policy that would allow students to repeat up to five courses to increase their grade point averages.
Under the bill, if a student elects to repeat a course in which the original grade was either a D or an F and the result is an improvement in grade, then the improved grade would be calculated into the student's GPA. The original grade still would appear on the student's transcript, but it would not be calculated into the GPA.
The bill will be sent to University Senate in April for approval.
Objections to the amendment focused primarily on the stipulation that students would not be required to obtain the permission of a dean before being allowed to retake the course.
Carol Holstead, associate professor of journalism, said that students who failed a course because of cheating or academic misconduct might be able to slip through the cracks and abuse the policy.
Barbara Romzek, professor of public administration, agreed and said she would like to see the dean's approval as a means of closing possible loopholes.
notes.
But Dede Seibel, student body vice president and the bill's primary author, said she thought there was a way to determine whether academic misconduct had previously occurred without a requiring a dean's stamp.
Sone said the registrar's office could place a hold on a student's record in such cases.
"There is a way to put a hold on a course that would disallow a student from enrolling in a course if they failed due to academic misconduct." Seibel said.
John Brandt, professor of speech, language and hearing, said that as a professor he was responsible for ensuring that students who had failed his course because of cheating were unable to retake it.
Despite the objections to the bill's language, it passed unchanged.
"I have an objection to students who cheated in my course then try to take it again," Brantt said. "You can be sure I'll do whatever I can to keep them from doing that."
Seibel said that the bill's passage was a victory for students and proved that faculty took students' interests seriously.
Jim Carothers, Senate Executive Committee chair, said that issues that might not have been resolved at Council likely would be taken up when the bill went to University Senate in April.
"This is not the end of the process." Carothers said.

Transportation board weighs bus route changes
The plastic bus shelter in the circle drive at Jefferson Commons, 2511 W. 31st St., has been empty all year.
By Sara Shepherd
"We already have a bus stop," said Kristin Harrelson, Jefferson Commons resident relations director. "It would be great if we could have a bus to stop there."
Five representatives from the student living complex, at 31st and Iowa streets, lobbied the transportation board for campus buses to stop there at KU on Wheels' annual route review meeting last night in the Burge Union
Harrisonel said that nearly all of the 720 available rooms at Jefferson Commons were filled and that about 99 percent of the residents were students.
Representatives from Jefferson
Commons were confident a campus bus would be widely used by student residents.
"We're going to have ridership, and we'd probably be the best gamble in town," said Robin Corrick, Jefferson Commons community manager. "I think if it did come into our community, they would ride it in droves."
Aaron Quisenberry, assistant director of the Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center and KU on Wheels adviser, said several things were to be taken into consideration before altering a route to serve the Commons.
He said money was the main concern with the proposed project, even if ridership would be high. One bus route costs between $70,000 and $80,000 every year, Quisenberry said.
If there were large numbers of students riding the bus from the Commons, one bus would not be
enough, and extra buses may be needed at peak times," he said.
However, by reshuffling routes, some operating hours could be transferred from discontinued routes into new routes, which would help defray some of the cost.
Quisenberry requested that the board try to come up with an approximate dollar figure for what a route to the Commons would cost before any decision was made.
Samantha Newman, Jefferson Commons resident and community assistant, said she was one of many Jefferson Commons residents who would take the bus to class if it stopped there instead of using Park and Ride.
Quislenberry said he also was concerned about what a bus stop at the Commons would do to KU on Wheels' Park-and-Ride program.
The board did not finalize decisions about the route changes yesterday.
but the consensus among board members seemed to be that the changes would be enacted.
Other route changes discussed included:
Discontinuing the West Sixth route because of low ridership. This action would eliminate the stop at Boardwalk Apartments, 524 Frontier Road, but residents could board a bus across the street in front of Sunrise Village Apartments, 660 Gateway Court.
Changing the Second-and Michigan route to include service to Highpointe Apartments, 2001 W. Sixth St., where a bus would stop every 30 minutes.
Changing the Sixth and Crestline route to include half-hour service to Sunrise Village Apartments. The proposal also would change the turnaround location from Schwarz Road to Fireside Court.
Ideas for bus shelter to come from students
By Erin R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A warm, dry place for about 20 students to wait for the bus in front of Learned Hall is one step closer to reality.
Student Senate Finance and University Affairs committees passed a bill Wednesday night that would provide a $1,000 reward for bus-shelter designs. The bill will go before Senate next week
Students from regional universities will be encouraged to submit designs for the shelter while attending an architecture conference at the University of Kansas in April.
"If we were to go through the University and have the university architect design the shelter, they would charge a lot more that $1,000," said Alison Beck, architecture senator.
Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator, said the shelters could be built as part of a service learning project for an architecture class next semester. Not only would this mean free labor, Krebs said, but the only cost would be materials, which would keep project under $10,000.
The reward money for the winning design would come from the Senate reserve account, which is used for emergencies. The account has twice the recommended amount, and Senate would like to use the extra money for permanent improvements to campus.
Yet debate centered around the possibility that the cash prize could go to students from schools other than the University of Kansas.
"We think this will increase the participation of students
at our University," Beck said. She said that architecture professors sometimes discouraged students from designing projects not required for their classes.
"Architecture students are incredibly busy with their workloads," Beck said. "You need an incentive to get them to do extracurricular activities."
Moreover, Drew Thompson, Nunemaker senator, said the shelters would not be run-of-the-mill metropolitan bus shelters with smoky glass walls and rectangular features.
"They have to be blended into the surrounding," Thompson said. "It will be something KU students will enjoy."
Lindsey Gaston, liberal arts and sciences senator, said he did not think the money should leave the University.
"I have issues giving $1,000 to students at some other university." Gaston said. "Why couldn't we just run a contest through the University of Kansas?"
Aaron Profitt, University Affairs committee member, echoed Gaston's sentiments.
"It has three sides and a roof and a way out," Profitt said. "I don't think it's the most complicated structure, and I don't think having a plethora of designs is going to help."
Krebs said that if more schools entered designs, the University would have a wider range of styles from which to choose. The entries also could be considered for additional bus shelters. Krebs said.
Designs ultimately would be approved by the administration, but Beck said the money would not be awarded if none of the designs were adequate.

KUAC doesn't need student fee money
Athletics department should foot bill for non revenue sports
T the $20 per semester women's and non revenue sports fee that students pay to the University of Kansas
Athletic Corporation has come into question recently. The fee, which accounts for about 4 percent of KUAC income, appears to be expendible in the wake of the new tuition increase.
When the fee was implemented in 1979 the quality of women's and non-revenue sports was lacking. Because our men's basketball and football teams did not earn enough money to improve these programs, it was necessary for students to contribute on behalf of these sports.
Twenty-one years later, both the men's basketball and football teams have succeeded in generating a substantially larger amount of revenue. This increase in commercial success
means that it is time for KUAC to become self-sufficient.
Another reason to discontinue the fee is that KUAC has been reinvesting surplus revenues back into capital projects. Students should not pay a fee to a department that already has extra money.
The fee also should be terminated because students should not have to pay for University expenditures that are federally mandated. In Title IX, women's sports have the right to proper funding, yet students pay for equal treatment as though it is a privilege.
KUAC has proven itself capable of earning its own revenue. In light of the tuition increase, it is time that it covers its own expenses.
If the funding handed by students to KUAC was used in other University projects, the improvement possibilities would be substantial.
For example, if that $900,000 per year was spent on recreation improvements, the new recreation center could have several more basketball courts, a better weight room or possibly even a swimming pool, all of which would be available to all students. Or, that same $900,000 could finance several new KU on Wheels buses each year. The list of needed campus improvements is seemingly endless, and of all of the organizations on campus that need the money, KUAC is most capable of supporting itself. It's time it did.

They don't claim to be completely omniscient, and they won't purr at you seductively like platinum-blonde 900-number operators, but the staff of the KU Information Center ensures that information — both helpful and bizarre — is only a few digits away.
The Information Center, better known as
started as a rumor control in 1970, the same year the Kansas Union caught on fire and a computer lab exploded. Since then, the service has evolved to become an information service with a staff of 14 people.

Among the little-known services they offer are a list of tutors, babysitters and sabbatical sites, as well as crisis referral. KU Info is probably best known, however, for fielding a

variety of student questions. These questions range from people looking for movie times to students trying to find out where visiting basketball teams are staying. Another common question is simply, "Where are my socks?"
With the help of the KU Info staff members, I compiled a list of questions they recently were asked. Among the more interesting exchanges kept on file were:
Whether it is because of silliness and intoxication or just plain old intellectual curiosity, college students generally are an inquisitive bunch. Because most people can't contact God on short notice, KU Info serves as a good substitute for answers, preventing callers from spending too much time leafing through encyclopedias and barking at the moon.
Caller: I need to know where I can mail something.
KU Info: You might try the post office Caller: Oh thank you so much!
Caller: Can you spell "acrossed," as in "I went across a river"?
KU Info: That isn't a word.
Caller: Is it legal to have a tattoo of a Picasso painting, or is that copyright infringement?
KU Info: Yes, it is legal.
Caller: How many disembodied heads would it take to fill Allen Fieldhouse?
KU Info: 1,866,666 (actual calculated estimation)
Caller: My 3-year-old son has a problem with eating off the floor. Can you tell him not to do it anymore?
KU Info: (to boy) We don't eat off the floor.
Boy: OK
Caller: (whispered) Thanks!
Caller: Is there any way I can drop a class from last semester?
KU Info: Excuse me?

Caller: I failed a class last semester and I wanted to know if I could drop it.
As you can tell from these questions, KU Info is a very unique service. And in an age in which almost every organization answers its phones with automated messages, it is refreshing to have our own University's information center operated by live, breathing humans.
Caller: I thought so.
Susan Elkins, KU Info coordinator, refers to the service as the "pulse of the University," something that doesn't exist in the same form at any other universities. Elkins encourages callers to keep trying if the lines are tied up, or to listen to the taped messages. The messages are changed twice a day and often have the information about times and events callers are looking for. Sometimes the staff even adds jokes at the end of the tapes.
Oh, and the answer to the questions about missing socks? There are actually two. "We tell them to look either under the bed or in the dryer," Elkins said. "And we're always right."

Broaden your mind: Today's quote
"We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse." — Anne Swetchline
Picking a class gift is a tough job; students should share their ideas
There have been more than 130 graduating classes at the University of Kansas. Each has attempted to leave something behind to be remembered by and to improve the campus.
Some gifts seem everlasting, such as the bronze Jayhawk in front of Strong Hall, a gift of the Class of 1956; or that cool scale model of the University located in the Kansas Union, a gift from the Class of 1962. Others are very pragmatic, such as concrete dugouts and a scoreboard for the baseball team in 1960, or the service elevator in the Union in 1930. And unfortunately, there are some such as the TVs purchased for Watkins Memorial Health Center in 1969 and the hanging fireplace in the Burge Union given by the Class of 1979, that are gone forever.
Many classes have donated less tangible items, such as the endowment for the HOPE Award in 1959 or the CLASS Award in 1987.
Our ideas thus far, for your perusal:
This year the Senior Class Advisory Board, of which I'm a member (don't ask me how), is responsible for the class gift. The board is working to come up with the perfect gift for the Class of 2000. It's a bigger job than I thought it would be. We've got lots of ideas, but there are some tough acts to follow, and also some that don't bear repeating. For that reason, we want to proceed prudently.
A stained glass mosaic to be mounted on or in the sidewalk along Javhawk Boulevard.
A fountain to be placed either on the Kansas Union Plaza or in the Malott Garden area.
Some sort of decoration or improvement to spruce up Wescoe Hall.
The demolition of Wescoe Hall
bus stop, a gift of the Class of 1950, needs work. A renovated booth could provide better bulletin board space, and with remodeling, could keep students waiting for the bus out of the rain. Now, because the shelter faces away from the street, that's not possible.
The renovation of the Bus Stop and Information Booth across from Bailey Hall. It could be turned into either a functional bullet tin board, bus stop or both.

Like the bus stop renovation, any fountain projects might be prohibitively expensive. A stained-glass Jayhawk would look great, but might be easily

damaged. Demolishing Wescoe would leave lots of lovely people without offices.
As we discussed the possibilities, we decided that whatever we come up with, we couldn't pretend to know what was best for the campus without asking people what they thought. We're asking for your help. If you like one of the ideas we've come up with, let me know. If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear that too.
But before you get too crazy, I'll offer the following list of ideas that probably won't work:
A Class of 2000 water slide down the hill. (Wouldn't that be great, though?)
NCAA championship trophy.
(We'll have to earn it.)
Thanks for your help.
A long-term contract with a cola consoligenate. (Too late!)
A KU version of Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?
A campus visit by Ricky Martin, Christina Aguilera, The Rock, Brittine Spears, Dudley Moore, Richard Prvor or Gene Wilder.
Seriously though, we need your input. Not just from those of you who are graduating, but also from those of you who some day will, have already or may never, graduate. It's a big responsibility and we don't want to screw it up.
Hoffman is a Lenexa senior in journalism.
Allow me to remind her what that fundamental concept is: Cash is always better than any other alternatives. Benefits are designed to give employees a false sense of being rewarded more so that they will stay with the company. And most benefit packages require employees to stay with the company for a certain amount of time — a modern term called "Golden Handcuff" in the corporate world. If you leave the company before that period, the face value of the benefit is zero! That means you're less likely to accept new job offers.
I was surprised to read Tisha McCoy's advice for job search in her Feb. 23 column. Her comment alienated one of the most fundamental concepts in economics. Maybe her instructors did a poor job when teaching her economics, maybe she had forgotten what she had learned from those classes.
Feedback Employment benefits only false sense of security
In today's business world, changing jobs occurs more frequently than ever. You should look for things that you can bring with you when you leave for a new job, not things that tie you down to the same old job. Most of the points mentioned by Ms. McCoy are outdated "wisdom" from our parents' generation. My advice for job search is that you should look for incentives that are based on performance. Stock options are becoming the trend for attracting good workers. Compare incentives from different offer and then choose the one that gives you the most flexibility and growth potential.

University animal research doesn't protect all animals
The Kansan avoided discussing several key issues in the Feb. 21 article on animal research at the University of Kansas. Nancy Schwarting of the KU Animal Care Unit claimed that the animals were "well-cared for and protected by governmental regulations."
However, the Kansan neglected to point out that the Animal Welfare Act, to which Schwarting was referring, does not regulate the treatment of mice, rats or birds which make up 90 percent of the research animals at the University. Moreover, the act does not prevent any
In fact, a 1990 Food and Drug Administration General Accounting Office report noted that more than half of all prescription drugs approved by the FDA between 1976 and 1985 caused side effects in humans serious enough to be withdrawn from the market. None of these harmful effects had been revealed from the animal tests the drugs had undergone.

experimental procedure regardless of how painful it may be. All animal research causes animals unwarranted pain and can potentially harm humans.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine asserts that "alternatives to animal research provide more precise, cost-effective, and humane answers to human health questions and educational needs." Alternatives to animal research include epidemiologic studies, clinical research, in vitro research and computer modeling.
See www.pcrm.org for more information. It is time we recognize animals as co-inhabitants of the planet rather than as things here for human use.

Rep. Moore tunes in to University

By J. R. Mendoza Special to the Kansan
Folk songs and serious issues were mixed into a reception for Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) last night when he visited the University of Kansas.
"I've done things I've never thought I'd do." Moore said. "It's been an interesting job, a real education."
Moore said that his term as third congressional district representative was one of the most exciting and frustrating times in his life.
The third district congressman belted out a couple of tunes with his guitar between discussions about the 2000 presidential election, discrimination and marijuana. About 50 people, mostly students, attended the one-hour reception held at the Traditions Area in the fourth-floor lobby of the Kansas Union. The KU Young Democrats sponsored the event.
Moore cited examples of his oppor-
tuities as a representative, such as
how he went to Israel with other repre-
sentatives to help work out a peace
accord between Israel and the
Palestinians. And most recently,
Moore, as part of the Banking
Committee, cross-examined Federal
Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan.
one of the hot buttons in Congress is the Patients Bill of Rights Act, which he's getting frustrated about. Moore said.
"People demand and expect it to get passed." Moore said.
Moore later addressed diversity and discrimination. He said people should stop focusing on differences like sexual orientation, religion and skin color.
"I hope we can get beyond that. We'd all be so much happier," Moore said. "But diversity is important to include everyone in the system."
Moore also said that he wasn't sure where he stood on legalizing industrial hemp as a cash crop for farmers.
"My first inclination is to say no if
it's a way to legalize a drug," he said. "I am not condoning drugs, but we just need to take a more common sense approach."
Perhaps the most uncomfortable question for Moore to answer concerned what he thought about the democratic candidates for the presidency. Moore jokingly asked for any other questions as the audience laughed. Both Vice President Al Gore and former senator Bill Bradley have asked him to support them, Moore said.
"I have tremendous respect for them." Moore said. "I told them I
have to focus my energies on my race but best of luck to them."
Although Moore has not formally announced he is running for re-election, he said he was 99 percent sure he would run again.
Then it was time for Moore to break out the guitar. He successfully convinced the audience to sing along with him as he played his guitar and sang two songs: "This Land is Your Land" and "Today."
"Sing with me if you know it," Moore said. "And just sing if you don't."
was designed to be different for a more one-on-one contact, said Michael Young, chairman of the congressional district for the Young Democrats.
"There were good questions, and he gave straight, direct answers," Michael Young said. "The audience got what they came for."
Matt Franzenburg, Keystone,
ukay, junior, said he attended the
reception to get to know Moore and
hear his views on the issues.
"I don't know much about him, and I want to see what he's doing," Franzenburg said.
Rabbi discourages blind faith in Judaism
Bv Rvan Blethen
Supporting faith with knowledge was a theme throughout his two-hour discussion.
Kanson staff writer
Belief and faith in Judaism must be based in knowledge, Rabbi Tzii Gluckin told seven students last night at Hillel House, 940 Mississippi St.
Gluckin, an Israeli rabbi who is on a tour of American universities, was in Lawrence last night to talk to students about finding Judaism through rational approaches.
Gluckin told the group that one way people learned religions was through socialization which, he said, was not necessarily the best way to accept a religion.
"Don't just accept this because that is what you are taught," he said. "Know God. Blind faith is unacceptable in Judaism."
Although people should base their faiths in more than belief, belief should not be dismissed, Gluckin said.
"To have a healthy Jewish lifestyle, you have to have belief," Gluckin said.
But to truly believe in Judaism, people must base their beliefs in knowledge. Gluckin said.
"It only makes sense that knowledge is the best thing," he said.
Finding religion should be an informed decision that has been challenged, Gluckin said, even if that means looking at other religions.
He said people made blind decisions every day that affected their lives in negative ways. One decision many people make on blind faith is marriage, Gluckin said.
"If only we invested in our marriages like we did in our careers," he said.
Phil Foreman, Northbrook, Ill., senior, agreed with Glockin.
Accepting Judaism is much like taking a pill from the doctor — neither should be made without adequate knowledge, Gluckin said.
"If you don't have a true love for the woman it's got to be terrible." Foreman said.
"Why do you take a pill when a doctor gives you one?" he asked the group. "We don't make our decisions on faith."
Emotions also should be kept in check when accepting Judaism, Gluckin said.
Challenges still exist for women in athletics, panelists say
"Emotions are subservient to intellect," he said. "If we lead with our emotions, we are going to make a lot of mistakes."
At the end of the discussion, Gluckin urged the crowd to challenge the religious beliefs they had been taught growing up.
"We just can't accept things because our parents told us so," he said.
Title IX was established in 1972 to prohibit sex discrimination in any educational institution receiving federal financial assistance.
By Jodi Breon
Special to the Kansan
The University of Kansas Women's Studies program sponsored a discussion that addressed the image of women in sports and the issues surrounding Title IX last night at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Forty people attended the discussion titled "Women and Sport: From Title IX to the Women's World Cup."
"Now that we have Title IX, people think we don't need to do anything else," said Matt Hayes, Middlesbrough, England, graduate student in women's studies.
The discussion panel featured Mary Jo Kane, professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota and director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport. Other panel members included Hayes, Bob Frederick, athletics director, and Christina Schnose, Lawrence sophomore and crew team coxwain.
"Women's participation in sports has been exploding up and down the food chain, and we, in academics, are not keeping up with it," Kane said.
Kane said. One way people deal with Title IX is by cutting minor men's sports and not establishing more women's sports, which causes controversy, Kane said.
Although female athletes are protected by Title IX, the fight for equality in women's sports still exists.
Women athletes at the University of Kansas, however, have benefited from Title IX.
Rowing, established six years ago to fit Title IX compliance rules, provides an opportunity for many female athletes to compete in a varsity sport.
"Not until Title IX did competitive women's rowing blossom," Schnose said.
Some people attribute the success of professional women's sports to Title IX. Hayes said.
Professional sports, however also have introduced new images of female athletes.
Hayes discussed the sexualization, eroticism and feminization of female athletes by citing the presentation of the Women's World Cup soccer team by the media.
"The media sexualized the women's soccer team. They said the team has sexy bodies, erotic bodies and — oh, yeah — they're athletic." Hayes said.
Luke Sills, Sublette senior, said discussions like this one helped educate people about the inequalities women faced.

Professor's ethnicity questioned
University opens issue in discrimination suit
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Jim O'Malley
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The University's attorney questioned whether Ray Pierotti was a Native American during cross-examination yesterday.
The trial of employment discrimination claims by Pierotti, an associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, and his wife, Cynthia Annett, a former assistant professor in the same department, against the University was in its second week when associate general counsel Rose Marino began raising questions about Pierotti's status as a Native American.
Marino opened the issue by questioning Pierotti on a letter he wrote asking about employment at the University in which he said, "I qualify as a Native American for purposes of affirmative action."
Marino pointed out that Pierotti was not an enrolled member of any tribe and said there were no documents showing he was a Native American.
Pierotti testified that he was one-fourth Comaniche, through his grandmother.
Daniel Wildcat, professor of American Indian Studies at Haskell Indian Nations University, said he had known Pierotti since he first came to Lawrence in 1992.
"I find this line of questioning is insulting," he said. "I know who I am. I identify myself as a Native American. That is the way I think of myself."
"Ray's always identified himself as a Native American," Wildcat said. "There's no question in my mind about his identity whatsoever."
Wildcat wasn't at the trial, but he said he wasn't surprised that the University would attack Pierotti's native heritage.
He said Pierotti always had shown a commitment to helping Native-American students.
"Ray told me he expected that," Wildcat said. "The University is really desperate in trying to attack Dr. Pierotti on these grounds."
Annett and Pierotti rested their case yesterday with the conclusion of Pierotti's testimony.
John O'Brien, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, testified for Annett and Pierotti Wednesday. He was their department chairman until 1996, when
"Ray's always identified himself as a Native American. There's no question in my mind about his identity whatsoever."

Haskell Indian Nations University professor
Thomas Taylor replaced him
The tenure fight has left hard feelings in the department. Pierotti testified that he no longer would meet with Taylor by himself.
O'Brien said he had been a strong advocate for Annett from the start. He testified that her research qualified her for tenure and that male colleagues, including himself, with the same number of publications routinely had been granted tenure. O'Brien said he continued to support Annett through her application for tenure.
Annett said the trial had been exhausting. She said she was glad to get the academic misconduct charges Taylor had filed against her out in the open. The charges had been kept secret, she said, but rumor and innuendo about them had been circulating.
Yesterday, Marino said she could not comment on ongoing litigation.
Professor neglecting class, students say
Continued from page 1A
He also has canceled some of his Photojournalism I classes, said a student enrolled in the class. A student in Cuenca's Visual Communications course said that the class had never been canceled but that Cuenca discussed the trial during every class session.
Cuenca's Advanced Photojournalism class members serve as staff photographers for the Kansan, so they could not comment on the situation.
All of these classes meet one day a week.
Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism and chairman of the news and information sequence, sent Cuenca an e-mail urging him to find replacement instructors if he was going to miss classes.
"One part of my job as news chair is to make sure that students get the instruction they paid for," Frederickson said in the e-mail, which Cuenca then sent to at least 20 of his students.
Frederickson has been deposed by Cuenca's lawyer as part of Cuenca's pending discrimination lawsuit against the University.
Cuenca canceled last Friday's design class and assigned his students to attend the trial instead.
The male design student said he had heard five students attended the trial last Friday.
In an e-mail to his class listserv,
Cuenca wrote that he canceled today's class because he planned to attend the trial.
The attendance policy in these classes, as it appears on Cuenca's Web site, www.seekpeace.com, states:
"Your attendance in this class and the lab sessions will be as consequential as if this was your job and your disrespect for professional conduct could reflect on your final grade. ... Abusive lack of attendance could result in a substantial reduction of the grade you earn in class."
"You'd think that he would abide by his own policy," said another female student in the design class.
However, Melissa Davis, Wichita senior and a student in the design class, said Cuenca talked about the lawsuit only because students asked about it.
"He doesn't bring it up," she said. "People in the class do." Sam Mellinger, Lawrence senior, was in one of Cuenca's classes last semester.
"He didn't say much about it until the end of the semester." Mellinger said. "You could tell he was really upset about not getting tenure."
Christopher West, Chicago sophomore and member of
As a plaintiff in the ongoing lawsuit, Pierotti said that his classes had met every time and that the course objectives were being met.
"He didn't say much about it until the end of the semester. You could tell he was really upset about not getting tenure."
Sam Mellinger
Lawrence Senior
"He's missed this week, but we've had guest speakers instead," West said.
Pirottori's Principles of Environmental Studies class, said the class had never been canceled.
West said that he was unaware of the trial and that Pierotti hadn't mentioned the lawsuit in class.
The University's Handbook for Faculty and Other Unclassified Staff states that professors can move a class location or meeting time for sound academic reasons, but some students said they didn't think Cuenca had a sound academic reason.
"Having us attend a trial is pointless," said the male student in the design class. "I understand its importance if this were a reporting class, but it's not."
Cuenca wrote in an e-mail that the purpose of having students attend the trial was to get them to think about how to visually
describe the courtroom because cameras weren't allowed inside.
Jimmy Gentry, dean of journalism, would not say if he was aware of the situation or if students had complained about Cuenca's performance this semester.
"I'm being sued by Professor Cuenca, and I'm not going to comment on it," Gentry said.
The design class is required for the news/editorial and magazine sequences in the School of Journalism, and that contributes to some students' irritation.
"We need the class; we don't have any other options," the male student said. "I don't doubt he's a good teacher, but if he keeps this stuff up, he shouldn't have been hired back anyway."
He said the lawsuit probably shouldn't be discussed in class because it was unprofessional.
"I don't bring my problems with my relationships to class and waste time talking about them," he said. "He shouldn't do it either. This stuff is none of our business."
One section in Cuenca's design class syllabus addresses professionalism.
"I am assuming that you will respect this institution, the money you are spending, your time and my time enough to make a serious effort to succeed in the class," the syllabus says. "Succeeding in the class means being there."

Students thrown in jail for charity
Old Chicago holds event to raise funds for muscle disease
By Jess Meyer
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Several KU students were sent to fall yesterday.
About 340 Lawrence residents and KU students volunteered to be thrown in a make-shift jail at Old Chicago, 2329 Iowa St., Wednesday and yesterday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
The jailbirds were given cellular phones and asked to call as many people as they could and collect donations during their one-hour sentences.
Matt McGuire, Lawrence junior and Kappa Sigma fraternity member, said he thought the lock-up was a great way to get people involved with a good cause.
"I think it's really important to associate with people in the community," McGuire said. "And there is no reason not to do it."
Susan Garrett, Springfield, Mo., junior and Alpha Chi Omega sorority member, agreed.
"It sounded like a fun thing to do," she said. "I think it's a good cause and a good thing to devote my time to."
When the volunteers arrived at the restaurant, MDA coordinators took their mug shots and threw them in jail for an hour. The goal

was to raise as much money as possible in the hour to pay the "bail" money needed to be released, said Paul Blood, district director for MDA, which is a national voluntary health agency financed by private, individual contributors.
The money raised at the lock-up will assist local children and adults with muscular dystrophy, Blood said. The total amount of money raised had not been tallied.
"Our main goal is to raise money to provide services for people with any of 40 different neuromuscular problems," Blood said. "Last year's lockup raised about $35,000 and we hope to reach that and more this year."
All of the money raised will go to the Missouri Valley chapter of MDA, which serves 24 counties in Missouri and 13 counties in Kansas, Blood said. Some volunteers were able to collect donations prior to the event and others called from inside the restaurant.
"It is good to help people less fortune and give back to the community," said Ruth Yorke, Overland P sophomore and co-
community service chairwoman for Alpha Chi Omega. "They do so much for us and it's easy for people to get out and do."
Vincent Piscotta, manager of Old Chicago, said the restaurant provided pizza, beverages, appetizers and the building to the cause.
"They approached us about holding it, and since we have the facilities, we are willing to help them out." Pisciclou said. "It is a good cause that
draws people from all over the place."
The volunteer who raised the most money that was more than $1,000 received an evening for two at the New Theatre Restaurant, 9229 Foster St., in Overland Park. That prize will be given after all the donations are totaled.

Road trip inspires novel by former student
Route 66
CA AZ NM TX OK MO IL
By BriAnne Hess
Kyle Ramsey / KANSAN
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Chet Nichols, who attended the University of Kansas from 1967 to 1970, revisited life on the road in his latest novel, The Last Riders of Route 66.
Nichols said the novel was based on a trip that he and a friend took in spring of 1967 because they were not getting along with their parents. When they heard Route 66 — a highway from Chicago to Los Angeles — was being turned into an interstate, they decided to hitchhike the route to California.
"The story had been percolating in my brain for awhile, but I wrote the book in three months with probably 30 rewrites." Nichols said.
He said the story was about the coming of age of two men who had an epiphany on the trip and returned home with direction in their lives.
"They have to address a lot of their own attitudes and how they mesh in the real world as opposed to in their heads," Nichols said.
Nichols said some of the characters in the novel were fairly true to form with people he met during his trip. He said he used creative license to produce other characters who epitomized the attitudes and conflicts of the times. Nichols
described the tumult in the late-60s as a mental civil war.
"Our trip was somewhat more subdued than the novel, but I had to be true to the times because there was a revolution going on," Nichols said.
Nichols said that the thrill of hitchhiking was not something he would recommend in today's society.
"I couldn't do it now," he said.
"You'd have to be cautious and take precautions. Back then it was OK."
Wayne Propst, 1971 graduate, said he took a lot of road trips in the '60s, but most of them were in someone's car, not hitchhiking. He said Route 66 wasn't really famous until it was closed.
Propist said that even though hitching wasn't really an option anymore, most young people wouldn't take road trips because it took too much knowledge and imagination.
He recalled a time on the road when the water pump burst in his car. He said he and his road companion walked into town, bought a water pump and installed it themselves.
"There's not the same desire to get out and see the road," Propst said. "They don't have any imagination. They all fly to Cancun. Why put up a tent when you can call room service?"
IYUAN YUAN
Barry Shank, associate professor of American studies, said the pull of the road was still a powerful one for college students because they still were surrounded by others' expectations and stereotypes. He said that

being on the road let students abandon their jobs, classes and other responsibilities.
"It does require risk, but the idea of being on the road is throwing all of that aside," Shank said. "As a society, we'd be better off if more people did it."
Nichols' novel was released on Christmas Eve. The bookstores in town do not have the novel in stock, but Nichols said it was for sale online.

Gas prices to continue to rise
Low inventories refinery output blamed for jump
WASHINGTON — While heating oil prices are cooling down, the Energy Department said yesterday that continuing low stocks of gasoline and oil probably would mean a gasoline price increase in the coming months.
The Associated Press
reduced refinery output not anticipating the severe cold that hit the Northeast, he said.
"We will likely see even higher prices this spring," said John Cook of the Energy Information Administration at a Senate hearing. Cook said low inventories of crude oil as well as heating and diesel stocks led to a sharp price increase late January and early February.
The price increase was worsened by refiners who held back crude purchases because of the high price of crude. Refiners have
In January, East Coast distillate inventories were running 4 million barrels below the low end of the normal range.
"We will likely see even higher prices this spring."
Sen. Frank Murkowski, R-Alaska and committee chairman, sharply criticized the Clinton administration for not promoting more domestic oil production.
Since President Clinton took office, domestic oil production has declined by 17 percent and the United States now relies on foreign producers for 56 percent of its oil. Murkowski said.
Cook, director of the petroleum division, said production cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and increases in world demand have led to an average shortfall of more than 2 million barrels a day in 1999.
John Cook Energy Information Administration
Energy Information Administration
Also, there were indications from the Middle East yesterday that some major oil producers may be ready to increase production.
He said the amount of additional production had yet to be determined. The OPEC oil ministers are to meet late next month to consider production levels.
A senior United Arab Emirates oil official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Persian Gulf oil ministers, had agreed to increase production to stabilize international markets.
The price of oil has skyrocketed in the last year from less than $12 a barrel to about $30 a barrel.
Ex-mob hit man arrested in drug ring
The Associated Press
PHOENIX — Former mafia hit man Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano, the mob turncoat whose testimony put crime boss John Gotti behind bars, was arrested yesterday on charges he was involved with a drug ring."
Gravano was not selling drugs but was a "mentor" to the ring's leader, Michael Papa, who is also the founding member of a White supremacy gang, said Phoenix police representative Jeff Halstead.
Gravano was booked into the Maricopa County Jail yesterday. Halsted declined to give specifics on what he was charged with.
Thirty five members of the ring also were arrested.
Police said Gravano's criminal enterprises targeted normal Valley teenagers and rave music clubs. The Arizona Republic reported yesterday on its Web site. The drug
operation, which police allege was financed by Gravano, sold upward of 30.000 ecstasy pills a week, the Republic said.
Gravano, a confessed serial hit man, ravaged the mafia by defecting to the government, sending Gotti and dozens of other gangland cronies to prison. Authorities called him the most important mob turncoat in U.S. history.
The pills, a derivative of methamphetamine sometimes laced with heroin, looked like candy and were stamped with Nike swooshes and other symbols. They were bought by the syndicate for $6-$7 each and sold for $25 a pill, police said.
His bombshell testimony, along with conversations secretly taped by the FBI, finally put Gotti, the so-called "Teflon Don," behind bars for life in 1992 after three previous acquittals.
Under his deal with prosecu
tors, Gravano admitted to 19 murders, but served only five years for racketeering. He then entered the federal witness protection program. He dropped out in December 1997, saying he wanted to live normally, not always looking over his shoulder.
By 1999, he was making a new life in a Phoenix suburb, living under an assumed name but telling an interviewer he didn't think he was in any real danger.
"I'm not running from the mafia," Gravano told a paper for a story published last year. The newspaper agreed not to publish his new name.
In the best-selling book Underboss, by Peter Maas, Gravano said he turned government witness after realizing from the FBI tapes that Gotti was trying to save himself by blaming crimes on "Sammy the Bull." But even before that, he had been troubled by Gotti's public posturing.

Barak backs retaliation pledge
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Ehud Barak defended his foreign minister yesterday for pledging to exact retribution for anti-Israel attacks launched from Lebanon "blood for blood, soul for soul, child for child."
Barak's support for David Levy's remarks was likely to further attract Arab fury and was a sign of how far apart the sides are a month after peace talks with Syria broke down.
Levy pledged Wednesday that the ground of Lebanon would burn if militant Islamic guerrillas expand their attacks beyond engaging Israeli troops in south Lebanon. His remarks sparked outrage even among fellow Cabinet ministers, but Barak said they were appropriate.
Lebanese guerrillas shrugged off the threats and attacked Israeli troops and their allied militia in the Israeli-occupied zone of southern Lebanon. Lebanese security officials said guerrillas attacked three positions held by Israeli soldiers and their allied militia.
Israeli artillery yesterday night also bombarded suspected guerrilla positions, the officials said. But there were no immediate reports of casualties.
The Iranian-backed Hezbollah and the Lebanese Resistance Brigades, a group backed by Hezbollah, claimed responsibility for the attacks, both saying their fighters scored direct hits.
Sheik Nabil Kaouk, the southern Lebanon commander of Hezbollah, the most active of the guerrilla
groups, said his men would fight on despite Israeli strikes.
Barak made an election pledge to pull Israeli troops out of a buffer zone in southern Lebanon by July. Until recently, he has insisted that a withdrawal would be part of an agreement with Syria, the main power in Lebanon. But in recent days he has suggested that a unilateral withdrawal is also an option.
Pulling out without an agreement would likely be bloody — a pullback from other parts of Lebanon in 1955 drew heavy fire from Hezbollah guerrillas who wanted to send a message to Israel that it better not contemplate a return.
Yesterday, Leyov stood by his remarks, telling Israel radio that there was no one who could promise that civilians would not be harmed.
Europeans wary of electronic spies
The Associated Press
BRUSSELS, Belgium Alleges that a U.S.-led spy network snoops on billions of private phone calls, faxes and e-mails have inspired sharp criticism in Europe, with officials calling the reports shocking and warning people to be wary about what they say electronically.
A report commissioned by the European Parliament and released Wednesday claimed the communication-bugging network was eavesdropping on Europe's business community. Despite denials from governments named in the report, the head of the European Union's assembly called for strong action.
"We have every reason to be shocked at the fact that this form of espionage, which has been going on for a number of years, has not prompted any official protest," European Parliament Speaker
Nicole Fontaine said late
Wednesday.
The EU Commission has not said whether it will launch an investigation into the allegations.
the intelligence group, called Echelon, is led by the United States and includes Britain, Canada Australia and New Zealand. It was set up at the beginning of the Cold War in 1947 and gradually grew to include a network of surveillance-interception stations spread across the globe.
Allegations that Echelon carries out commercial espionage against fellow European allies have met with deep concern, especially from the French, who themselves are members of a wider intelligence ring connected to Echelon.
"We have to be as prudent as possible in the transmission of data," Justice Minister Elisabeth Guligou told the National Assembly in Paris. British Prime Minister Tony Blair
hold the National Assembly in Paris,
British Prime Minister Tony Blair
denied the allegations outright on a visit to EU headquarters Wednesday.
In Washington, State Department representative James P. Rubin denied any involvement in commercial espionage by the National Security Agency.
The report on Echelon was written by a British investigative journalist, Duncan Campbell.
Campbell said that intelligence facilities easily could tap into billions of messages per hour, including telephone calls, fax transmissions and private e-mails. He urged the EU to take action to protect against unwanted interception of communications, insisting the interceptions violate human rights.
Campbell's report is the second of two commissioned by the EU assembly. The first report said firms in EU nations incurred losses of several billion dollars per year as a result of corporate espionage.

Giovanni Ribist, a naive college dropout who into the fruitful but scandalous world of stock trading in Boiler Room. Contributed art.
Lukewarm
review by Clare McClellan
Deceptive world of stock trading isn't enough to make Boiler Room sizzle
W within the slick, fast-paced world of stock brokers in New York City, where one phone call could mean millions of dollars, there's no time for details.
Like honesty.
Such is the scenario in director Ben Younger's Boiler Room, which reveals the intense, adrenalized realm of a small brokerage firm, J.T. Marlin, and the young men who make fortunes there selling lies.
We enter this world through Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi), a 20-something college dropout running an illegal casino out of his living room. Attracted to this sort of entrepreneurship and always looking for young brokers to train, the boys from J.T. come knocking. Eager to land a job that would make his father, a federal judge played by Ron Rifkin, proud, Seth joins the firm.
Enter Jim Young (Ben Affleck) to entice these rookies to the cash cow that is brokering at their initial group "interview." He promises that each man will make his first million within three years of his first day. He manages this by employing the same smooth talk to entice them into the firm as he would a customer on the phone.
Resistance is futile.
"Anyone who says money can't buy happiness, doesn't have any." Young maintains. "Look at the smile on my face — ear to ear." Resilience is futile.
From here, Seth outdoes himself as a trainee and quickly becomes absorbed in his new success. So absorbed, he overlooks the fact that this firm isn't like the big boys on Wall Street. At J.T. Marlin, it doesn't matter what stock you sell, you just have to know your ABCs — "Always

They'll sell stocks for companies that don't even exist. They tell people exactly what they want to hear and have a rebuttal for every protest. They want your money, and they know exactly how to get it.
But one client, who isn't one of the "whales," the firm's name for high-dollar prospects, leads Seth to a severe attack of conscience. And a conscience is a dangerous thing in the boiler room. In steps the FBI to coax Seth in a not-so-subtle manner to rat on the brokerage firm.
Well, this was a great movie the first time I saw it. It was called The Firm. OK, so Boiler Room lacks the law firm setting, the better-developed plot and Tom Cruise, but the core idea is the same. The first half of the film barely slows down enough to let the audience catch its breath. Watching a room full of attractive young men in designer suits, money dripping off them like the sweat after their last racquetball game, selling stocks as fast as Dairy Queen sells Blizzards in July— does it get more exciting than this?
Superfluous subplots begin to get in the way of the action, however, and the story loses its steam. The only major female and African-American character in the film, Abbie [Nia Long], the secretary, falls for Seth immediately of course regardless of the fact he's the scrawniest and least attractive of the bunch.
The proverbial "make Dad proud" plot rears its ugly head here as well. Rifkin does a superb job with the gritty part of Seth's father, and some of his scenes are the most enjoyable of the film. However, he turns to mush in the end when Seth makes him feel bad about an incident in his childhood. Trite doesn't begin to cover it. This is just total cheese.
There is some decent acting going on here to make the movie worthwhile. Vin Diesel [who costarred with Ribisi in Saving Private Ryan], Affleck, Nicky Katt and Rifkin all give the perfect dimension to their characters. On the other hand, Ribisi, who is great in smaller, more eccentric roles, lacks the edge to effectively pull off this part.
Writer/director Younger falls short in his character development of their relationships on screen. He has the drama and the tension of the boiler room perfected, but his players don't quite make the cut. When Younger's dialogue works, it's to the credit of the actors' talents, not the script itself. Boiler Room is Younger's feature film debut, however, so we can expect to see better things from him in the future.
While it's hard to point to one fatal flaw in Boiler Room, it just doesn't quite deliver the punch the first half of the film leaves the audience hungry for. After stripping away the intensity of the trades and the excitement of making millions, what's left of the story just boils down to a quiet simmer.
REINDEER GAMES IS HO-HO-HORRIBLE
By Todd Halstead
Kansan movie critic
The new movie from veteran film director John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate, Ronin) makes one wonder why Rudolph wasn't cast for Reindeer Games, because at least then there would have been a lasting bright spot in this movie about a casino heist gone wrong.
Reindeer Games starts out with an interesting shot of five dead men dressed up as Santa Claus, which displays Frankenheimer's ability to capture the audience's attention with only the camera. Then we are introduced to Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) in prison and his cellmate, Nick (James Frain), who is involved in a pen pal relationship with Ashley (Charlie Theron). Both Nick and Rudy are days from being paroled and Nick plans on meeting Ashley outside of the prison gates for a little nookie. But Nick gets on the wrong end of a makeshift knife and Rudy takes it upon himself to show Ashley a good time by impersonating his recently deceased coll mate. At least he'd probably know how Nick kisses. From there, the viewer learns that Ashley isn't all that she seems when Gabriel (Gary Sinise, reprising his LT Dan look from Forrest Gump), who says he's Ashley's brother, approaches Rudy to help in a casino

See. Nick once worked security at a Native-American casino and Gabriel and his thugs need him to pull the heist off.
There are plenty of snappy one-liners and torture scenes to keep one's attention throughout most of the movie. The ending, however, is highly improbable, and the mere fact that the movie is set during Christmas and released in February is irritating.

Has Ben Affleck made a good career
choice since Good Will Hunting? His
acting here is well done, but the most

Tracy Chapman: Telling Stories
Buy It
It is this struggle that has always been apparent in her music, from the bouts with racial oppression on her 1988 self-titled album to her environmental consciousness on 1995's multi-platinum New Beginning. Telling Stories definitely is less politically charged than her other albums. But songs such as "Paper and Ink," which is a commentary on the social ill stemming from money, maintain Chapman's status as a socially conscious artist.
Tracy Chapman's fifth album feels like home. While maintaining her recognizable sound, *Telling Stories* reveals a maturity and new level of self-reflection. Chapman's stark sincerity and straight-forward language are ever-present, proving that her artistic efforts are consistent. As you listen to the album, you find yourself listening patiently as Chapman deals with old and new ghosts. In "First Try," the 11th and final track on the album, she admits she "Can't learn to accept that it's all right to struggle with the limits of this ordinary life."
At times, though, you can almost feel that Chapman is giving a hopeful smile as she songs.
The vocal harmony provided by popular country-folk musician Emmylou Harris is a nice addition to Chapman's serene, steady voice in the song "The Only One." Even when at her most powerful, Chapman's vocals are subtle, adding to the soothing nature of the album. In this case, sooting is not synonymous with boring or homogeneous. *Telling Stories* is an intriguing album from a Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter that should not be overlooked.

The Cure Bloodflowers
After saving the world in the second season of South Park, Robert Smith has returned, and this time he's brought the rest of the Cure with him.
The Cure's latest offering, *Bloodflowers*, is as wonderfully depressing as ever. And now that he's getting older, Smith is beginning to think about his mortality. Virtually every song on the album is an analysis of Smith's internal clock ticking and his eventual death.
Clocking in at 11 minutes and 13 seconds, "Watching Me Fall" isn't just a mere song. It's an anthem destined for greatness. Smith sings "I've been watching me go for it must be years. Watching me get slow ... and one day I know I won't come back at all." His desperate tone is effective here, making it easy to see why so many alternative acts try to copy his unique vocals.
Other notable tracks include "There Is No If ..." "The
Last Day of Summer" "30" and "Out of This World."
Another track worth mentioning is the wonderfully titled "Where the Birds Always Sing." Smith has penned a splendid song about the inherent unfairness of the natural selection process and the hope that somewhere there's "another world where the sun always shines and the birds always sing."
Last Day of Summer," '39 and "Out of This World." All things considered, *Bloodflowers* is an excellent album. The hour of music seems to fly by, but the enhanced CD features are lame. With a prolific group like the Cure, one would imagine Elektra could have found something better to do than just put a link to its web site on the CD. Other than the lameness of the "enhancements," the Cure's latest offering is a worthy addition to any music collection.

Kittie Spit Buy it
High school girls have been invading the music industry lately. Prancing around half-naked, touting their ex-Mouskeeteer status like a badge of honor while belting out bubble gum pop from their lungs with the emotion of a decapitated fish, none would dream of singing lyrics like "May your death come quickly."
Britney Spears. meet Kittie.
Consisting of four high school girls, Kittle is the first band confirmed for this summer's Ozzfest tour, and its album *Spit* will reassure teenagers' faith in metal in the wake of the bubble gum explosion.
Filled to the brim with distorted guitar riffs and hardcore basslines, Spit is the most refreshing metal album release in quite some time. While Metallica is off playing with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, Kittie is taking metal to a new level with vocals and lyrics that drive deep into the psyche of kids growing up in the '90s.
With sometimes violent lyrics ("Kill me, burn my soul") combined with reflections on the American ideal of beauty (on "Do You Think I'm A Whore?"), singer/songwriter Morgan Lander has crafted 12 tracks of sheer chaos that satisfy. Take "Get Off (You Can Eat A Dick)," which features the Lord's Prayer in the song's climax. A lesser group wouldn't be able to pull off such a blasphemous move, but Kittle makes it sacrilic-lious.
It's that type of devil-may-care attitude combined with great young talent that's been missing for the past decade in the metal scene. Tracks to listen for on Spit include the track title, "Charlotte," "Paperdoll" and the lead-off single "Brackish." Kittie is now supporting Seventendus on tour. (And the girls' geometry assignments were die last Thursday.)

'Huskers coach fails to meet expectations of team's fans
Expectations have dogged Roy Williams and his team this season. An unprecedented amount of criticism has been leveled at the Kansas coach for the inability of his team to win as much as fans expected. But don't expect Nebraska coach Danny Nee to feel sorry for Williams.
Wednesday night, Nee could have broken the Nebraska all-time victory mark with his 254th in his 14th season.
Strange then, that he continues to lose favor among Nebraska fans. But then again, the Jayhawks did hand Nee's squad its sixth straight loss.
he needs to go." Nebraska student Lee File said before Wednesday night's game. File's sentiment was echoed by many Nebraska fans in more colorful, albeit unprintable, terms.
The criticism and calls for a replacement that have dogged Nee the last several seasons may be reaching the critical point this year.
Nee's situation illustrates the delicate balance between adoration and vilification that coaches face. Qualities that endear coaches to fans and contribute to success also can alienate players and fans. Simply put, pride can lead to the appearance of hubris. The bottom line — winning — is the lens through which coaches are viewed.
Nee is colorful, demanding and brimming with pride — all qualities that a coach needs. But many Huskers fans also view him as tyrannical and overbearing, and they have called for him to be replaced.
Nee is the most successful coach in Nebraska men's basketball history. He reached the 253 victory mark in 16 fewer games than Joe Cipriano, with whom Nee is tied. He has coached Nebraska to seven of its 11 all-time 20-win seasons. Eleven of Nee's 13 'Husker teams have made postseason play, and the only two postseason titles in Nebraska history — the 1994 Big Eight Tournament and the 1996 NIT — came under Nee's direction.
Nee has had more than his share of conflicts with players, such as in 1996 when all but two players boycotted a practice. That, however, is not the real reason that many fans want Nee replaced.
Though Nee is the most successful basketball coach in school history, his success doesn't live up to that of Nebraska programs in general. Nebraska's athletic department rivals that of any in the nation. Everyone knows about the football tradition, but Nebraska also has distinguished traditions in women's volleyball, track, men's and women's gymnastics and bowling, just to name a few.
This year, Nee's team is 10-16 and on a six-game losing streak, its longest in four years. That just doesn't cut it at Nebraska.
The losing also creates a vicious cycle - losses bring criticism, and the criticism distracts the team.
Nee and his players downplay the effect of Nee's critics on the team, but Nee admitted after Wednesday's defeat. "It certainly doesn't help it."
The perception among fans is that Nee may be leading his team into a rut.
"It items like they're playing worse and worse every game, and the more criticism Nee gets, the worse we're playing," Nebraska junior Nick Emanuel said.
The perception is that Nee has too much pride — he's a control freak. The same could be said for almost any college coach.
And when a coach fails to live up to expectations, that allegation will be made with exclamation points.

Taking on the Bears
Kansas rides wave of success into Baylor game
By Shawn Hutchinson
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Beat Nebraska, Check
Tie Missouri and Oklahoma for fourth-place in the Big 12 Conference standings. Check.
Beat Baylor -- that's the next task on the Jayhawk's season-long to-do list as they prepare to play host the Baylor Bears tomorrow night at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks enter the game having won three of their last four, and it's safe to say they are satisfied with the recent successes.
"I think we're coming together and just going out and playing," said Kansas guard Kenny Gregory.
And as simple as that, the No. 23 Jayhawks have upped their record to 20-7 overall and 9-4 in the Big 12, putting them in a good position to finish in the top four in the conference and snatch a first-round bye in the Big 12 Tournament next month.
"We've talked about it, and we can only control our games," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "Using that old cliché, we're going to take it one game at a time. We'll do our best each game and see what happens."
What happened on Wednesday night was a 83-58 Kansas win against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Neb. Nick Bradford, who was bounced from the starting lineup four games ago, came off the bench and went on a streak.
Bradford scored 19 points, came up with six steals, and hit two 17-foot jump shots in a 30-second span in the second half.
Four other Kansas players scored in double figures in the 25-point rout.
"Kansas beat the heck out of us," said Nebraska coach Danny Nee, after watching the Jayhawks outscore his team 49-24 in the second half. "Their defense and pressure is what gets it done for them."
The Jayhawks hope that Baylor coach Dave Bliss will be voicing the same sentiments come tomorrow night.
The Jayhawks held Nebraska to 29 percent shooting from the floor in the second half. And, at least on paper, they should have a good chance of shutting down
The Bears are next to last in the league in scoring offense, have lost four of their last five games, and come into the Fieldhouse fresh off a 95-75 defeat at Colorado on Wednesday night.
Ravlor as well.
The loss dropped the Bears to 12-12 overall and 3-10 in the Big 12. But one interesting stat from that game — Baylor made more three-pointers than any Big 12 team this season, hitting 16 of them on 36 attempts.
Against Nebraska on Wednesday night, Nick Collison became the first freshman in the Williams era to block six shots in one game.
His six blocks are the most by any Jayhawk since Eric Chenowith blocked seven last season.
Kansas notes
Kenny Gregory scored his 1.000th career point against
nepraska, becoming the 39th player in Kansas history to do so. Gregory, after scoring 13 points on 6-for-13 shooting, now has 1,017 points for his career.

Women hold onto Big 12 title hopes
By Chris Fickett
Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks had wanted to avoid a late-season letdown.
But even after final-second defeats at Nebraska last week and Missouri Wednesday night, the No. 25 Kansas women, 19-7 and 10-4 in league play, can still — with a lot of help — win the Big 12 regular-season
tomorrow's 3 p.m. game at Norman, Okla., the 'Hawks would at least move into third place in the Big 12 Conference and remain one game behind No. 13 Iowa State and No. 7 Texas Tech with one game to play.
"We've got two quality opponents left. Oklahoma's a big matchup for us. We've really got to go down and take care of our business," Jackson said.
"We've still got a lot to play for," said junior guard Jennifer Jackson. "We just have to come out and keep playing hard.
P

Jackson: Says team just needs to keep playing hard
But even though the Jayhawks' chances of securing one of the top four seeds in the Big 12 tournament are high, there's also a chance they could fall.
"We really have to stay focused," coach Marian Washington said. "We certainly don't want to go to Kansas City and worry about playing three games in a row."
And that game is against 3-11 Texas A&M on Wednesday night — Senior Night — at Allen Fieldhouse.
For Kansas to win the league title alone and get the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 tournament, it must first win its final two games. Then Texas Tech must lose its final two games — at Oklahoma State and against Baylor — and Iowa State must lose to either Baylor at home or Texas on the road.
And certainly the Jayhawks can't worry about tie-breakers and conference title scenarios.
After Wednesday's downer in Columbia, the Jayhawks' mission is to regain their composition before tomorrow's game against the Sooners.
But there is something Kansas has control of in its regular-season stretch — itself.
"It's very disappointing, and these kids work very hard — and I feel for them — but we have to find a way to put this behind us and get to Oklahoma and do a better job," Washington said.
Some of Kansas' problems against the
Tigers stemmed from offensive turnovers in the game's critical moments. Others, surprisingly, stemmed from the Jayhawks' defense.
"We were just a step behind in every way," Washington said. "They drove on us, we couldn't be as aggressive as we normally are. It was one of those games you hate to see."
Normally, Kansas' defense bails out its offense when it struggles. But even 16 steals against Missouri wasn't enough — and it might not be enough at Oklahoma if Kansas' offense can't get back in sync.
"We got some good defensive steals and capitalized on some of them, but when you're struggling as bad as we were on offense, then we have to do a better job on defense than we did," Jackson said.

Today's Birthday: This year travel by water could be your reward for having planned carefully. Don't let the money slip through your fingers in April. Playing by the rules makes learning easier in May. Heed a bossy co-worker in August. The travel by water goes best in November. Modify your play plans to fit in with work in December. An analytical woman can help you win next February.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day. 0 the most challenging.
Aries: Today is a 4.
You could feel a little frustrated. It's important for you to hold your temper and to plan your next move well in advance. The person with the advantage today is the one who can stay cool, even in the most intense situations. It's good practice.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
You should be able to figure out what's going on,
but that's not true for everyone. You also need to make sure that the other person heard is what you actually said. Something might get lost in the translation,
even if you're speaking the same language!
Gemini: Today is a 5.
What's being promised and what's being delivered are two different things. You may not be getting the whole story. When you do the research, you may find that things are not the way you've been led to believe. So, better do the research!
Cancer: Today is a 9
You may finally get through to somebody you've been trying to reach. This is a special, personal sort of connection. You'll both benefit in a way that's kind of hard to explain. Luckily, you don't have to explain it to anybody else. It's none of their business.
Leo: Today is a 5.
Although other people's feelings are still taking up a lot of time, you should be in a better mood than yesterday. You're not the one who's upset, although all this whining may get you riled. Stay calm, and it will help others do the same.
This should be a good day for healing. If you're not already in that kind of a profession and if you'd like to be, this is a good day to start. You may have natural talent, too. Study your avocation on your own time, but don't quit your day job yet.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
Saaittarius: Today is a 4.
男 女
Some sort of risk you're thinking about could prove to be quite expensive. How about you don't do it and just say you did? if everybody else is doing it, so what? Don't let them talk you into being as foolish as they are.
2
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You're still under pressure. It's not just your imagination. Don't ignore it; that would be foolish. Instead, go ahead and figure out what needs to be done, and just do it. It may be a struggle now, but it's not going to get any easier.
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
This would be a good day to take a class or to attend a seminar. You can figure out a lot of things on your own, but this particular subject is best learned in a group setting. Old friends are better than new ones now, by the way. Finish up something you've already started.
Finish old projects rather than start new ones. Something that's been bothering you at home needs your full attention for a while. Once you get these messes cleaned up, you'll feel much better about yourself. You may notice you get a lot more creative, too.
You need to be practical again today. Your sign's not renowned for being a tough businessperson, but you can learn. If you don't get what you want now, for example, stall until Monday. If you have nothing to lose by waiting, why hurry?
LION
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Is there something you've always wondered about but were afraid to ask? Who's most likely to know the answer? A college professor? A clergy person? A legal adviser? Once this is out of the way, you'll rest more easily than you have in years. Make the call.

Major league umpires replace failed union
NEW YORK — Richie Phillips and the Major League Umpires Association struck out in their final legal appeal yesterday, clearing the way for the new union to start negotiations with owners.
The National Labor Relations Board certified the results of a November election that kicked out the MLUA and replaced it with a new union, to be called the World Umpires Association.
LIFE SAFE
The new union intends to take a less confrontational approach than Phillips, whose failed resignation strategy last summer cost 22 umpires their jobs.
"We're looking forward to moving ahead with baseball and starting a new relationship, and trying to get all umpires to come together," said AL umpire John Hirschbeck, a leader of the new union.
About 50 of the 71 major league umpires have joined the new union, according to its lawyer, Joel Smith. The new union will meet Sunday in Phoenix to elect officers and a negotiating committee.
Hirschbeck and Smith, who is expected to head negotiations, will have to deal with the plight of the 22 umps who lost their jobs, a group that includes many of Phillips' staunchest supporters and some of baseball's best-known umps, such as Richie Garcia and Terry Tata. The new union wants to get as many as possible rehired.
"We've attempted to talk with the 22, just as recently as two weeks ago." Hirschbeck said. "Some were responsive to talking with us, many were not."
The labor board's ruling came as the MLUA's grievance to regain the jobs of the 22 resumed in Philadelphia before arbitrator Alan Symonette. Under federal labor law
Owners want to merge the umpires from both leagues into one staff and make other changes as part of the elimination of American and National league presidents and offices.
It's unclear when negotiations will start to replace the labor contract that expired Dec. 31.
the old union will remain in charge of the grievance.
PHOENIX — Art Howe never got to see a rebuilding process through to its successful conclusion in Houston. He hopes his latest contract extension shows the Athletics are willing to let him complete that cycle in Oakland.
A's manager Howe gets extended contract
Howe, 53, helped turn around the Houston Astros in 1989-93, beginning a rebuilding process that has resulted in one of the strongest teams in the National League. But the Astros fired Howe before he got to taste any of that success.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Howe, who has a 304-344 record with the A's and a 696-762 record overall as a major league manager, said he hoped to experience that kind of success in Oakland.
Howe, who managed the surprising A's into the playoff race last season, was given a one-year extension yesterday that runs through the 2001 season. It is Howe's second extension since being hired by the A's in November 1995.
“It's nice to know I'm going to be around for at least another year,” he said. “When I first came here my goal was to turn things around, and I think we're on the right road.”
TUCSON, Ariz.—Arizona center Loren Woods probably will miss tomorrow's game against Arizona
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Arizona's lead scorer out with back injury
State with a back injury that seems to be worse than originally thought.
SCORPIO
The athletic department issued a statement Wednesday that Woods had back problems and was receiving further consultation and treatment from team physicians.
H
Just how serious the injury is remains a closely guarded secret in coach Lute Olson's program.
The Tribune, a newspaper serving suburban Phoenix, quoted what it called a source familiar with the Arizona program as saying the university would announce
Woods, a junior transfer from Wake Forest who is Arizona's leading scorer at 15.6 points per game, is the lowest casualty for a team that has continued to win despite losing players to injury, illness and defections. He leads the Pac-10 Conference in blocked shots at 3.9 per game and tied an NCAA record with 14 blocks against Oregon on Feb. 3.
That didn't happen, and Olson said no determination had been made on how Long Woods would be sidelined.
Wednesday that Woods would be out for the season.
PITTSBURGH—The condition of Pittsburgh Penguins star Jaromir Jagr's bruised left thigh improved yesterday but he remained in a hospital, team officials said.
Jagr still hospitalized but injury is improving
Team doctors will review the contusion on Jagr's thigh again today, but there is no timetable for his return to the lineup, the team said.
HOCKEY
Penguins representative Tom McMillan has said that Jagr's hospital admission was not related to his hamstring injury during a loss to Tampa Bay this week.
Jagr, the NHL leading scorer, returned to Pittsburgh on Tuesday from a road trip.
Team officials wouldn't say where Jagr was hospitalized or why the thigh contusion required his admission.
The high contusion occurred during a 1.1 tie against buffalo last week in Pittsburgh, team officials believed.

Edith Morgan filed an application in Jackson County Court Feb. 14 asking she be named administrator of Thomas' estate.
Thomas' mom seeks control of his estate
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Derrick Thomas' mother has filed an application seeking control of her son's Kansas City-area estate, worth an estimated $2.75 million.

Thomas:Left behind $2.75 million in assets
Thomas died of a massive blood clot Feb. 8 at age 33, a little more than two weeks after he was paralyzed in a car wreck. He died without a will. When someone dies without a will, an administrator is named to identify the deceased
assets, file an inventory of the assets with the court and pay taxes and debts owned by the deceased.
箭馆
The application claims that Thomas left behind assets of $2.5 million in personal property and $250,000 in real property.
Five women are listed on court documents as the mothers of Thomas' seven children. They have been notified by the court of Morgan's petitions and can contest Morgan's claim.

ball flat, and we knew the home runs would come."
The game also marked the return of second baseman Ryan Baty, who has not played this season because of a separated left shoulder he suffered during practice. He said it was great to be back in the game.
"It feels a lot better — I've been doing extensive rehab on it," he said. "To sit out and watch a baseball game is the worst thing. I'm hoping to get some more time in this weekend."
Kansas will need Baty and another strong offensive performance to
compete with Creighton, 4-1.
Creighton beat Kansas State yesterday, 7-1.
"Creighton will be a step up from what we've seen before." Wedd said. "We'll need to play our best ball to win our next challenge."
Sophomore Jeff Davis, 20, takes the mound first today. At 1 p.m. tomorrow, senior Rusty Philbrick, 0-0, will try for his first win of the season. And junior Pete Smart, 2-1, will try for a second consecutive win on the mound at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Randall said that the starting pitching rotation was not yet set
and that younger pitchers might have a chance to compete.
"The rotation will change as others challenge them," he said. "The starters are those who pitch the best, but they are pushed a little bit by the others."
Techniques and strategies aside, most of the players are just happy to be back in familiar territory.
"I'm excited to be home — I'm sick of airports," Wedd said. "Hopefully, we can get a following of people who will come out and see us. We have a chance to be good, and that's good because KU loves winners."
Track members to aim high at championships
Continued from page 1B
"In some cases, I think we're a little deeper than last year." Schwartz said. "Of course, we're not going to have Scott Russell, and he's got big shoes to fill. Conference meets are all about those kids who are conference leaders in their events continuing that, but the exciting thing about this is the kids you don't expect."
And one of the unexpected is junior Jenny Wonder, who will be making her championship debut today after injuries kept her from the meet in the past. Now healthy, Wonder is
Kansas' top female 60-meter spinner and hurdler, as well as a factor in the women's 1600-meter relay.
"I'm actually just excited to be going because I've been hurt the past two years," said Wonder, who sat out last year as a redshirt. "I just want to go and hopefully run a personal best, and hopefully I'll be satisfied."
Which is exactly what Schwartz would like her and all of his athletes to do.
"You want as an athlete and a coach to have your kids go in there and have the performance of the season, if not their life, at this signature meets," Schwartz said.

Despite Cornhusker edge in rebounding. 'Hawks cruise in win
Rebounders grab win for 'Hawks
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Matt Tait
They did it against Marcus Fizer and Iowa State. They did it against Eduardo Najera and Oklahoma. They didn't do it against Nebraska — but it didn't matter.
After the Jayhawks outrebounded their opponent in two straight games — a 64-62 loss versus Iowa State and a 53-50 win
W. R. COPPERBERG
Yet, Kansas won the game by a landslide. 83-58.
One question comes to mind—how?
How is it that Kansas held down two of the Big 12 Conference's top rebounding forwards, but was outrebounded by the conference's
Williams: Pleaseed with rebounding against Nebraska
The answer is simple — Kansas was not given credit for every rebound it got. Officially, every rebound the 'Hawks corralled was marked down in the official statistic book. But it was the balls that Kansas didn't grab, but rather kept alive, that gave it the unofficial rebounding edge.
Nick Bradford
Kansas forward
time and time again Kansas players flew toward the offensive glass tipping the ball, tapping the ball and batting the ball into the air so that another teammate could grab hold of it and score the basket.
"I think we did a good job on the boards because if you look at second-chance points we had 18, they had 14." Kansas coach Roy Williams said.
Leading the reboulding effort for Kansas on Wednesday was forward Nick Bradford who had seven, five of which were offensive.
"It was a step-up game for him tonight," center Eric Chenowith said of Bradford after the Nebraska win. "He really put his body on the line and sacrificed a lot for us to get a win."
Forwards Drew Gooden and Nick Collison each chipped in with six rebounds and Chenowith snagged five. Like Bradford, each of the rebounders also contributed to the Jayhawks' second chances.
"I think as a team we were better defensively — we were more active and we really tried to compete more on the boards," Bradford said.
Nebraska outrebounded the Jayhawks 52-44 their first meeting Jan. 15 in Lawrence. However, Kansas won that game too, 97-82.

Sooners won't alter strategy against Kansas women
With the Big 12 Conference title on the line, one would think Oklahoma had a specific game plan to defeat No. 25 Kansas tomorrow. But that exactly what it wants to avoid.
in Oklahoma loses to the Jayhawks, it would drop from a first-plate tie with Iowa State and Texas Tech in the conference to fourth, but the No.
By Meindha Weaver
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Bv Melinda Weaver
24 Sooners, 21-6ove all and 11-3 in the Big 12, aren't as worried as it seems they should be.
"We aren't going to any- thing different against Kansas."
Q
coach
121 games for a reason. We just need to polish it up.
"We need to find ways to play with abandon and freedom and do what we are good at.
Mentality is not as easy to prepare for, but Oklahoma has little to worry about as far as physical talent goes.
She said it is more important to prepare that frame of mind than to prepare a special game plan.
The Sooners lead the conference in scoring, free-throw percentage, field goal percentage, rebounding defense, assist/turnover ratio and assists.
Oklahoma has three players with double-digit scores averages, led by
senior forward Phylesha Whaley, who averages 20.2 points. The Sooners also are getting key contributions from freshman Caton Hill, averaging 9.9 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
Coale acknowledged that Kansas also had several scoring weapons, but instead of being worried, she said it made the game plan easier to prepare.
"We are hard to beat because we have so many players who can score." Hill said. "Phylesha Whaley, Stacey Dales and LaNeisha Caufield are very hard to stop and can score from lots of places. Our biggest strength is that we have so many people who contribute."
"You can't say that if you can stop Lynn Pride, you can stop the team because they have several very good players," Coale said. "Jaclyn Johnson is as good in the post as anyone in the conference, and Suzi Raymant is a terrific player and a terrific shooter."
"It makes the preparation easier because you don't need a special defensive game plan to stop one player." she said.
"We just have to play solid and do what we have done all season."
Yes, Kansas is athletic and has powerful weapons on offense. Yes, the Jayhawks play aggressive and have a tough defense. But for Oklahoma, this is nothing new.
"We just played Texas Tech, and they are one of the leaders on defense in the country." Coale said. "At this point in the year, we have seen everything. Kansas isn't a big worry for us."

Buffs basketball team's prayers under fire from ACLU
The Associated Press
DENVER — Four seconds to go and down by three points against No. 14 Iowa State. Colorado's point guard Jaquay Walls dribled the ball around his back, crossed half court and put up a shot with a prayer.
Walls' 35-footter tied the game and helped Colorado beat Iowa State 102-90 in overtime Saturday. He said he felt like somebody guided that ball in for him — he scored 15 of his 42 points in overtime.
"I was like, why just guide one? Might as well guide the rest that I put up." he said.
Walls is one of the players who paved with Colorado coach Ricardo Patton after practice until the American Civil Liberties Union protested Tuesday.
ACLU officials asked the university to enforce its policy to remain neutral on religion. Patton has agreed to stop leading team prayers while Colorado athletic director Dick Tharp is reviewing the matter.
Both Tharp and Patton were unavailable for comment.
"It's a sad time in the world when we are concerned with people praying." Patton
said, adding that he never forced any player to pray. "But if we were doing anything wrong, then certainly we'll discontinue it."
"Someone's trying to get us in trouble for praying. For praying? I can see if we were hurting someone. That's nonsense," he said.
Walls agreed with Patton's statement.
A member of the Colorado Board of Regents also backed Patton. Tom Lucero said that he didn't believe the voluntary prayer sessions violated school policy.
"I am in full sup
Colorado basket-
ball coach Ricardo
Patton," Lucero
said.
Praying at sporting events became a nationwide issue recently when a
CU
jawsuit challenged the practice in a Santa Fe, Texas, school district. A federal circuit court ruling banned the practice of allowing student-led prayers in high schools in three states. The case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The NCAA doesn't have a specific policy
regarding religion at member colleges or universities, and the ACLU said it was unaware of any recent lawsuits at NCAA schools. The NCAA's principle of nondiscrimination includes religion, but enforcement is left to individual institutions.
Judd Golden, an attorney with the Colorado chapter of the ACLU, said that he had received complaints that Patton led at least 20 prayers after practice in the last two years.
"If he organizes, conducts or encourages religious practice, that's when the coach goes over the line," Golden said. "Players have a short window of time to get close to the coach, and players want to take every opportunity they can to get close to the coach ... Becoming part of Patton's evangelical mission is how you play."
Patton told the Denver Rocky Mountain News that he did not know if players ever seemed uncomfortable with team prayer but that he had never received any complaints.
The ACLU is also awaiting a response from the university on the possible use of money to pay traveling expenses for an unofficial chaplain and the use of a bus to take players to church, Golden said.
BOULDER, Colo. — University of Colorado basketball coach Ricardo Patton's promise to stop asking players to lead voluntary team prayers after practice wasn't enough to satisfy the American Civil Liberties Union.
The Associated Press
Coach's promise to stop not enough
But Colorado athletic director Dick Tharp said the ACUU was off base.
Boulder ACLU representative Judd Golden said that Patton was warned three years ago about prayer yet violated school policy this year.
"His lip service isn't sufficient," Golden said. "There needs to be a clear statement of wrongdoing from Ricardo Patton and the university that the practice won't continue and that the university will provide consequences for those who violate the policy in the future."
The ACLU has said the prayers violate university policy and the Constitution.
A 1985 Colorado policy states that the athletic department would take a neutral stance on religious matters.
It also said coaches shouldn't organize or conduct religious activities, including promotion of prayer or Bible readings by players or coaches.
But Tharp said Patton didn't violate the policy.
Tharp said illegally promoting religion was different from accommodating that opportunity for young people.
"If it's under circumstances where it's voluntary — they're not coerced, they don't feel like they're being compelled or put in an uncomfortable situation — then I have no problem with us providing an opportunity or accommodating that exercise [of religion]," Tharp said.
Golden said he had received complaints about Patton choosing a player to lead prayer after practice, but he wouldn't say who made the complaints.

Nationally ranked golfer swings into final season
Top Jayhawk plans to turn pro after graduation
By Michael Terry sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Four years ago when Ryan Vermeer came to the University of Kansas to play golf, he had high expectations for himself as well as the team.
Now that his collegiate golf career is approaching its final round, he doesn't have any regrets about what he has accomplished at Kansas.
Vermeer, a native of Omaha, Neb., is the No. 8 individually ranked collegiate golfer in the country, and will lead the Jayhawks —ranked No.16 in both the MasterCard Collegiate Golf Rankings and Sararin Golf Rankings — into the spring season.
Vermeer enters his final season with a host of accolades, which includes helping lead the Jayhawks last year to their first Big 12 Championship in 49 years, an honorable mention All-American selection and being a member of the All-Big 12 team for the second consecutive year.
"It was a pretty awesome feeling getting all the recognition and receiving our conference championship rings at halftime of the men's basketball game against Nebraska," he said. "I'm just happy the things the team and I am doing are getting noticed. It makes all the hard work we put in worth it."
Vermeer said that now was the time for the team to start looking to the future and to perform to its potential for a repeat as Big 12 Champions — something that the Javahaws have never done.
Golf has been part of Vermeer's life since he was two years old. He attribues his love for the game to his father, who is the
"I've always looked up to my dad," he said. "One of the greatest feelings was when I was finally able to beat him at golf when I was 13 years old."
club professional at an Omaha country club.
Since then, his golf game has evolved and he feels his game has improved immensely under the direction of men's golf coach Ross Randall.
As a freshman, Vermeer played one or two good rounds of golf every tournament, but then would shoot one terrible round that would hinder his chances at being in the top 10 for the individual all-around competition.
"Coach has taught me the importance of a short game and
having patience on the golf course," he said. "In addition, he's also played on the PGA Tour for
KU golf
eight years, and he has been able to relay some of his own experiences that will hopefully help me prepare for my own pro career."
Randall came to Kansas 20 years ago, and has said that Vermeer was one of the best golfers he had coached.
"He's one of the best college golfers in the country, and he has already won more tournaments (six) than any other golfer in the history of Kansas golf," Randall said.
Randall also has coached PGA tour member and former All-American Matt Gogel. He said he was often asked if Vermeer had the same ability as Gogel did when he golfed at Kansas.
"I've told others that Ryan is a better all-around player than when Matt Gogel was a senior. He will certainly make a strong impact and do well at the next level." he said.
The next level, the PGA Tour, is still a dream for Vermeer, but he said he had other goals if that
"I've always looked up to my dad. One of the greatest feelings was when I was finally able to beat him at golf when I was 13 years old."

dream didn't materialize.
"I always try to stay positive," he said. "If for some reason things don't work out, I'd like to get into the golf business either as a club professional or even a golf coach."
Vermeer plans to turn pro in June immediately after graduation. But there are still many sand traps he will have to chip out of to make it on the PGA tour.
Of the more than 8,000 golfers that go to qualifying school each year, only 35 make the final cut and earn exemptions on the Buy.com Tour — the minor league of professional golf.
Vermeer said he hoped he would be an established PGA Tour player in five years and not a golfer struggling to maintain his tour card.
For Vermeer, though, the PGA Tour is still many rounds of golf away. For now, he will concentrate on enjoying his final days of playing golf as a Jayhawk.
"Hopefully I will get the chance one day to play at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia," he said. "If there is one professional tour event I would love to win it would be the Masters. It's so prestigious and has so much history that it would be dream come true to win it."
"I am looking forward to the challenges this season will present," he said. "I'll miss the team concept and having the team to travel with. I'm anxious to turn pro, but I will miss having someone there to kick it with."

Women rested and ready to play

After a two-week layoff, the Kansas women's tennis team is set to take the court for the Jayhawk Classic at home tomorrow.
The extended break between meets gave the Jayhawks a chance to get healthy after playing doubleheaders on back to back weekends. The team
was troubled by illness and fatigue, and the break gave them a chance get rested and well.
KANSAS TENNIS
"I think the girls got some rest and caught up on their studies," coach Jenny Garrity said
Senior Julia Sidorova said the break was good for the players and they would be ready for this weekend.
The event will feature three matches and will last the entire day. In the morning the Jayhawks will play Tula. They will take a break while St. Louis plays Tula before the 'Hawks return for the nightcap against St. Louis.
St. Louis, 4-4, is coming off a weekend in which they lost three straight meets. They lost close meets to Weber State, 5-4 and San Jose State, 5-4, and
were drummed by Northern Arizona. 8-1.
The toughest test for the 'Hawks will come against Tulsa. The Golden Hurricanes, ranked No. 61, are the second ranked opponent they have faced this year.
"They are very talented," Garrity said. "They are a lot like us. They are very deep and have six good players all the way down and field three good doubles teams."
Sidorova was confident nonetheless.
"We played them last year," Sidorova said. "They are a decent team but definitely beatable."
Tulsa was riding a two-game winning streak until Kansas State abruptly ended it in Manhattan last week.
While the doubles combinations have been working well for them in the early season, Garrity said she probably would mix them up later in the season.
"I think we'll switch some things up throughout the year just to keep it exciting, keep it intense," she said.
The last weekend the Hawks played, they suffered their first loss of the season against Ohio State. Two days later they started a new winning streak by
Garrity said the depth and the confidence the girls had in each other would make it easy for them to change partners.

Garrity said that any confidence problems stemming from the loss were taken care of later that weekend. The team learned what it could do, playing Ohio State, and then executed it on Sunday against Davidson and College of Charleston.
Following the weekend there remained two players without a singles loss. Sidorova and junior Monica Sekulov have flawless records, 5-0, 6-0, respectively and hope to continue their winning ways this weekend.
The Jayhawks dropped one notch in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings after the loss to Ohio State and fell from No. 41 to No. 42.
Conference play begins a week from tomorrow. The 'Hawks will take on Texas Tech Saturday and will play Missouri later in the week.

Underclassmen hope to qualify for NCAA Championships
By Brandon Krisztal
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's swimming team is sending five swimmers to Austin, Texas, this weekend to try to qualify for the NCAA Championships, March 16-18 in Indianapolis. However, the Jayhawks going to Longhorn country are not seniors; in fact, three are only freshmen.

The athletes headed to Austin are going with positive attitudes, but Schryer puts the meet into perspective.

sity," she said referring to the idea of making it the NCAA championships. "But it's more just a personal thing. That's been one of my personal goals for years, just to make NCAAs, because it's such a big accomplishment, and I've always wanted to do it. But if I don't make it, I know that at least I have the potential to make it, and I'll probably be able to go faster next year."
Unlike the conference championships last weekend in College Station, Texas, where the swimmers competed in three individual events plus relays, the group will try to qualify in only one event. All five athletes have provisionally qualified for the NCAA championships in other events because of previous times.
KU SWIMMING
Last weekend at Texas A&M, three of the five swimmers set personal bests in the events they plan to compete in this weekend. Grevers set the school mark in the 100 breaststroke preliminaries and then bettered her mark with a 1:03.31 second-place performance in the finals. DeVaney's third-place finish in 16:38.10 was the third best mile in Kansas history. Schryer finished seventh in the 400 individual medley with a 4:22.36.
Haley, like Schryer, also will swim the 400 individual medley. Haley finished sixth at the Big 12
Conference meet, but set her personal best at Texas A&M Jan. 22 posting a 420.31. Horwitz finished 10th in the 200 freestyle with a season-best 1.51.72.
Gary Kempf, Kansas swimming and diving coach, said he knew the field would be tough with swimmers from the Big 12 and Arkansas competing at what he considered the best swimming pool and building in the country. Kempf is looking for his swimmers to post a top 20 national time. He said that the five swimmers he's sending had a legitimate chance of qualifying for the NCAA meet.
"We're taking their best shot at their best event," he said. "They all have secondary events that they're already qualified for, but they need to get that big one in there." Their

"I'm just looking at it to go out and have fun," she said. "It's really just a chance to swim fast and have fun."
Qualifying for the NCAA Championships probably would mean the most to Haley, who's from Carmel, Ind., a suburb of Indianapolis. Although she said she would love the opportunity to go home and get a strong crowd behind her, she has a refreshing outlook on the importance of this weekend.

Softball team to face some familiar foes

She and the Kansas softball team will face four of Tabb's former teammates this weekend at the Adidas Classic tournament in Oklahoma.
Tabb, Oklahoma City sophomore, played on the Oklahoma Jitterbugs club team when she was in high school. But with six games on the schedule, Tabb won't have much opportunity to reminisce with her former teammates during the tournament.
Kansas will play Creighton University at 11 a.m. and Nicholls University 1:30 p.m. today. They will continue on Saturday against Mississippi at 11 a.m. and Big 12 opponent Oklahoma at 1:30 p.m. To finish the tournament the Jayhawks will play Southwest Missouri State at 10:00 a.m. and Cal State Fullerton at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday.
The 'Hawks hope they can pick up where they left off last weekend. The Jayhawks were 4-3 in the Triangle Classic and their pitchers had four shutouts.
"I think that we improved a lot this past weekend, and I think that it is going to carry on," pitcher Melanie DeWinter said.
The 'Hawks pitching has been on track, but the team's offense has been struggling.
"I think the biggest thing we need to do is get on track offensively," said coach Tracy Bunge. "We have not been swinging the bats real well, and we have been struggling at the plate."
Besides improving their offense, Bunge said her players needed to avoid feeling so pressured.
"The biggest thing we have to do is relax and go play," Bunge said. "They need to go stay within themselves and do what they're capable of doing. If they start doing those kinds of things I think the rest will come."

Petition submitted asking Legislature to name state fossil
By Katrina Hull

Seventy million years ago, when Lawrence was beachfront property, Pteranodons swarmed the Kansas skies and Mosasaurs swam in the salty Kansas sea.
These prehistoric reptiles are fossils now — organic remains preserved in Kansas limestone—and one may soon be named the official state fossil.
State Rep. Eber Phelps, D-Hays, proposed that the Pteranodon a toothless, big-brained reptile bird

should be the state rssn?
But workers at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum say the Mosaasaur — a reptile known as the "T-Rex of the sea" — latter represents the state.

Noyes, Great Bend senior, said one look at the Mosasaur fossil in the museum's entryway would convince anyone to choose the ferocious sea reptile over the bony bird.
"Visitors' attention is drawn to the Mosasaur the minute they walk in the door." Noyes said.
No one, however, has nominated the Mosasaur for state fossil, while a second grade class in Hays circulated Pteranodon petitions and recruited Phelps to battle for the fossilized bird.
The petition says that Kansas is one of only nine states that doesn't have a state fossil. Plus, Kansas has a rich history of flight, and the Pteranodon, with
But Hyde said associating the Pteranodon with flight could be problematic.
"The only reason they found Pteranodons in Kansas is because they crashed into the sea and died—and you don't want to associate crashes with flight," he said.
In addition, Noyes said Mosaasaur ate Pteranodons.
Phelps and his Pteranodons may have more to look out for than Mosasaurs. In early February, the Senate rejected a House-passed proposal naming the catfish as state fish.
Phelps said he predicted the proposal would draw criticism from some legislators, who consider a state fossil silly.
But Phelps said naming a state fossil was no more silly than legislators getting themselves into the budget crunch. And naming a state fossil doesn't cost anything.
The Pteranodon bill is in the House Appropriations Committee, but no hearing has been scheduled.
Larry Martin, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the museum, said he thought having a state fossil was harmless and, because the Pteranodon sort of resembled a Jayhawk, it might make a nice addition to museum letterhead.

"Making the Pteranodon the state fossil would have been my choice if anyone would have asked me," Martin said. "Kansas is famous for both Pteranodons and Mosaasaurus. It's the best place in the world to collect either."
Fall apartment slots filling up as students sign early

Although the spring semester is just hitting its stride, it is already time for students to start thinking about housing for the fall, apartment owners say.
The number of apartments in Lawrence is limited, and now is the time to sign a lease, said Crystal Thompson, assistant property manager for First Management Inc., 2001 W. Sixth St.
First Management, the company that owns Stadium View Apartments and Regency Place, already has more than 100 people signed up, and other places already have dozens on waiting lists.
"We've already taken applications for the fall," Thompson said. "And we are hoping to be full by May 1."
Adam Tilton, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said he and his roommates had looked into a new apartment, but were discouraged and resigned their current lease when told that several complexes had waiting lists.
"We just didn't want to deal with that," Tilton said. "So we signed our lease because they were going to give it away if we didn't sign by March 1."
In addition to avoiding waiting lists, those who act fast will have a wider range of options when choosing an apartment, Thompson said.
"If they prelease, they can pretty much get their pick of what apartment they want," she said. "If you see something you like, we recommend that you put a hold on the unit."
Todd Kornblit, Sugar Land, Texas, junior,
found it hard to find a place that allowed pets
- so it was important that he got an early
start, he said. He is in the midst of searching for a one-bedroom apartment but hasn't yet decided where he wants to live, he said.
Still, he said that searching now allowed him to beat the crowd of apartment seekers just before everyone left for the summer.
"If you go when everyone else does, you don't get your pick, so you'd better go now before they're gone." Kornblit said.
Thompson said holding a unit at most apartment complexes required a deposit similar to the $50 required at First Management, which is later applied to the security deposit.
Thompson suggested that before going to look at apartments, students should decide what kinds of amenities they wanted. Once that has been decided, they should contact the complexes, she said.
"Call and set up a time to look at whatever you want." Thompson said.

Vandals smear Wescoe Hall with anti-KU parking graffiti
By Sara Shepherd writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Vandals told the parking department where to stick their tickets this weekend by leaving their mark on Wescoe Hall in big, green — and sticky — letters.
"I will kill parking people," and "Stick my ticket up your ass!!!" were a couple of the explevate-charged remarks found spray painted in, on and around the building yesterday afternoon.
Another message on the concrete of Wescoe Terrace was spelled out with a mysterious amber-colored, syrup-like substance. The sticky stuff had also been drizzled across several stairway banisters and building walls.
A University security employee discovered the vandalism and reported it to the KU Public Safety Office between 4:11 and 4:15 p.m. yesterday, said Sgt. Mark Witt. The security employee estimated the vandalism occurred sometime between Saturday morning and the time it was discovered, Witt said.
Witt said the department did not have a suspect, but he guessed it was someone upset about parking tickets.
Robert Smith, Facilities Operations preventive maintenance shop supervisor, said the clean-up would be costly.
"It's going to be quite expensive," Smith said. "You're looking at sandblasting and removing the paint with paint remover."
Wayne Reusch of the
Facilities Operations landscape department estimated that damages to the building would be $2,000. He said costs would result from both manpower and machinery that would be needed to clean off the graffiti.
Because the damage totaled more than $500, the crime is classified as a felony, Witt said. If someone were convicted for criminal damage to the property, they could face fines and tail time.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, was out of town and unavailable for comment yesterday.
Reusch said Facilities Operations workers would try to have the syrupy substance cleaned off before today's classes. He said they would remove the rest of the paint as soon as possible.

Music department seeks accreditation renewal
The department of music and dance is pursuing renewal of its membership in the National Association of Schools of Music.
Steve Anderson, professor of music and chairman of the department, said membership in NASM was equivalent to the school's accreditation. The KU department was a charter member of the 75-year-old institution and is in the process of finishing its self-evaluation document, he said.
The self-evaluation will be sent to the NASM commission on accreditation by March 1. Three NASM evaluators will evaluate the department in early April, Anderson said. The NASM will make its decision based on the self-evaluation and the reports of the on-site evaluators in early July.

Student receives injuries trying to break up fight
A 19-year-old male KU student received minor injuries to his face when he tried to break up a fight early Friday morning.
Sgt. Richard Nickell of the Lawrence Police Department, said police were dispatched between 2:15 and 2:18 a.m. Friday to Jefferson Commons Apartments, 2511 W. 31st St., because of a fight. When officers arrived, they saw a crowd of people, including one male with his shirt off.
Nickell said members of the crowd scattered when they saw police. The KU student approached the officers and said he had attempted to break up an argument between the shirtless man and another individual. The victim said the shirtless suspect punched him several times in the face and bit his right forearm.
The victim's injuries did not appear to be serious, and he refused treatment at the scene. Nickell said.
Nickell said Friday afternoon that a witness had contacted police with information about the possible identity of the suspect. He said police were attempting to locate the suspect.

Future still uncertain for Mexican restaurant
Only a few more details need to be taken care of for Dos Hombres, 815 New Hampshire St., to stay at its present location.

"We haven't got one done yet," he
said, "Until they sign a lease; nothing is guaranteed."
Riling said he would not comment on whether the building's owners received any other bids for the space.
"We are only negotiating with Dos Hombre at this time," he said.
Previously, Bob Lastelic, owner of Dos Hombres, had said that the restaurant might have to close and move because the owners of the building might sign another tenant.
However, Marin Green, manager of Dos Hombres, said that the restaurant had just applied to have its liquor license renewed and that, as far as she knew, the restaurant was staving in business.
"We're going to re-sign our lease for another year," she said.

Gov. Bush clarifies university appearance
AUSTIN, Texas — In a letter to the leader of New York's Catholics, Gov. George W. Bush says his campaign appearance at a South Carolina school with anti-Catholic views was a missed opportunity causing needless offense, which he deeply regrets.

Bush's opponents have assailed him for not using the

appearance to speak out against the policies of the school, which also bans interracial dating. Bush spoke about his conservatism.
In a letter to Cardinal John O'Connor of New York, leader of the archdiocese's 2.4 million Roman Catholics, Bush states his respect for the Catholic Church and says criticism of him is unfair and unfounded.
"On reflection, I should have been more clear in disassociating myself from anti-Catholic sentiments and racial prejudice," he said in the letter, mailed Friday and released yesterday by his campaign.
Many more people gripped to whatever high ground they could find as waters continued to rise in the Save and Limpopo rivers. They have been stranded for a week and desperately need food.
Thousands rescued in wake of flooding
WORLD
SAVE RIVER VALLEY. Mozambique Helicopters plucked more than 1,500 people to safety yesterday as swollen rivers swept away almost everything in their paths in Mozambique.
Groups of people huddled on tiny patches of land stretched out their arms to plead for help from one of only two rescue hellcopters in the Save area. A lone man on the roof of a straw hut pointed his fingers to his mouth and rubbed his stomach.
Officials refused to speculate how many people already have been swept away in the vast area along the banks of the Save (pronounced sah-VEY) in central Mozambique.
"There's massive destruction along the Save River. It's taking everything in its path — homes, villages. There are people stranded in trees and on homes. A lot of people are getting killed," said David Schaad, a World Food Program spokesman.
UNICEF's lan Macleod estimated between 5,000 and 10,000 people were stranded in the area. About 3,000 more were maroned in southern Mozambique after the Limpopo River burst its banks.
The known death toll in Mozambique and neighbors South Africa and Zimbabwe reached 200 from flooding in the last week. Police said yesterday that at least 33 people died and 20 were missing after a bus was swept off a flooded bridge two days earlier in northeastern Zimbabwe. Twenty passengers had survived.
Cuban teens protest expulsion of diplomat
HAVANA — Shooting "Down with the lie," scores of teenagers held a pro-government rally yesterday outside the family home of a Cuban diplomat expelled from the United States after he ignored a State Department demand that he leave the country.
Jose Imperatori, 46, was taken into custody by U.S. authorities and flown aboard a U.S. government plane to Montreal on Saturday night. He was expected to leave Canada for Havana yesterday, but his plans were not clear. Even Imperatori's family said they weren't sure when he would arrive.
Watching the small demonstration of teenagers waving small Cuban flags outside her white, two-story home in Havana's Vedado neighborhood, Imperator's mother, Matilde Garcia, said she looked forward to her son's arrival.
Imperator's wife, Raquel Fundora, and the couple's 3-year-old son, were also at the home after returning to Havana on Friday night before their diplomatic immunity expired.
Imperatori, accompanied by his lawyer,
was escorted away from his suburban

Evolution debate draws BBC to Kansas
By Jim O'Malley
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA - The Kansas evolution controversy is still attracting international attention.
A British news team traveled to Kansas this week to cover the continuing evolution debate. Yesterday, a British Broadcasting Corp. team visited Potwin Presbyterian Church, where it filmed church services that included a sermon on science and religion.
Susan Watts, reporter and science editor for the BBC news show Newsnight, said there was still interest in the Kansas evolution controversy in the United Kingdom.
Evolution vs, creationism is not an issue there.
British interest is more of curiosity about "those strange people in Kansas." Watts
Kansas; Watts said
Newnight producer Nicki Defago said there was an anti-evolution movement in Britain but it
The evolution debate
The evolution debate
wasn't as vocal as the movement here. Since Britain has become more multi- cultural, however, a debate has begun concerning religious education in schools, Defago said.
Rev. Doug Phenix delivered the sermon that the BBC team filmed. His
point was that no inherent conflict existed between science and religion. Most of the world has resolved it by viewing science as a way of understanding God's creation, he said.
The University of Kansas was wellrepresented at the meeting.
The British news team also filmed a meeting of Kansas Citizens for Science right after services at the church. The group opposes the Kansas State Board of Education's decision to de-emphasize evolution in the state's science standards.
Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy; Bob Hagen, adjunct assistant professor of entomology; and David Burress, associate scientist with the institute for public policy and business research, were among
the members who discussed the group's strategy as the camera rolled.
Watts said the Newsnight team would interview conservative Board of Education member John Bacon today as well as teachers at a private Christian school to get an opposing viewpoint. She said the team would produce a 12-minute segment that would air March 20, coinciding with National Science Week in the United Kingdom.
The Newsnight team interviewed Oskalosa teacher Jack Krebs as the meeting broke. He said evolution was being debated in states other than Kansas.
"But Kansas has this image as the heart of America," he said. "Kansas is a symbol to the world."
Fraternity pens African-American history book
By Ryan Blethen
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Community service and African- American history will be the focus this week for Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
Kappa Alpha Psi has produced a book about African-American history, A Long Story... African-American History, which will be distributed at the rest of the events planned for Black History Month and at the events planned for Kappa Alpha Psi week.
The idea of the book, which took a year to produce, is to perpetuate African-American history beyond a single month, said Adrian Frankes. St. Louis senior.
"It makes every month Black History Month." Frankis said.
Fraternity members decided to put together the book because it was in line with the fraternity's philosophy of community service, said Conway Ekpo, Kappa Alpha Psi president and Lawrence senior. He said releasing the book during African-American History Month was the right time.
Norman Bouwie, Wichita sophomore, said the fraternity needed sponsors' help in order to create the book.
The fraternity found help from the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the University of Kansas Coke Foundation. The sponsors' assistance helped Kappa Alpha Psi produce 700 copies of the book and the sponsors will allow the fraternity to give it away for free.
Fraternity members passed out copies of

Rape Prevention Seminar: 6 p.m.
Wednesday at Alcove A in the Kansas
Union
Study group: 7 p.m. Thursday at Lewis Hall
the book at Lawrence High School to show high school students the minority presence at KU, Ekpo said.
The fraternity's annual week begins tonight with a discussion about AIDS in the African-American community after the Black Student Union meeting at 7:30 p.m. at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union.
Other planned activities include a leadership discussion and a rape prevention seminar.
Ekpo said the purpose of Kappa Alpha Ps week was community service.
"We do community service pertinent to the African-American community," he said.
A fellow friend told me that Bouwie said the week was a great way to show the community what his fraternity was about.
The week ends at 7 p.m. Thursday with a study group at Lewis Hall.

Access to KU academic databases inconvenient for students, faculty
One of the most prevalent activities for members of academic communities is research. However, students and faculty at the University of Kansas don't always get the chance to do the research they need because they're not always able to access the academic databases offered by the KU libraries.
Even though the online catalog is accessible from any location in the world via the World Wide Web, to get access to most of the databases such as Lexis/Nexis, a KU dial-in account is necessary.
KU libraries should devise a way for KU students and faculty to have access to all the academic databases, even if they don't have a KU dial-in account.
Most students and faculty do not reside on campus. Off campus, most people
KU dial-in account shouldn't be necessary to use resources from off-campus location
ases are only accessible through KU dial-in accounts is because the KU libraries buy them from private companies, said Julia Rholes, assistant dean for information services in the libraries. The contracts with the vendors strictly limit the use of those databases to the KU academic community.
have Internet access, but not everyone has a KU dial-in account. The work that students and faculty are required to do cannot always be completed within the hours they are on campus. Some people study or work on projects overnight when the libraries and computer centers are closed. Others just feel more relaxed or more focused working in their own environments. Some may even work on projects or assignments that need research while they are out of town.
However, there are ways KU students and faculty could log in. For example, they could use a password or something that would indicate KU student or faculty status. Such a system should be established.
Students and faculty don't leave their duties and responsibilities on campus when they go home. Therefore, they should be able to access the academic resources necessary for their work at any place or time.

Maximum-hour policy limits students
Tough classes and tests are not the only obstacles to the illustrious goal of graduation; complicated degree requirements can cause headaches as well. Understanding the complex regulations about the maximum number of hours students can take within their majors can be a prodigious task without the aid of a graduation counselor.
One troubling aspect of graduation requirements, especially for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is that if students take more than 40 hours of credit within their majors, the extra hours do not count toward the 124 total hours required for graduation.
For example, if a student pursues a bachelor of arts in a college department and took 40 credit hours within his or her major, plus all of the other general education requirements, he or she would need 16 additional hours to graduate.
Taking extra hours in majors should be allowed without adding new requirements
dents complete all their general education and major requirements and simply need more hours, they should be allowed to take whatever they please. If someone wants to use those extra hours to dabble in outside fields, that's great, but it shouldn't be mandated.
It seems silly that the college would not count 16 more major hours toward graduation. We understand the theory that college wants students to receive a solid, broad-based liberal arts education, but isn't that the purpose those pesky general education requirements serve? If stu
Realistically, students will be more motivated and dedicated in classes they want to take or find useful. Forcing them to seek out classes they really don't want to take or punishing them for taking extra classes within their fields is silly and makes graduating far more complicated than it should be. Demanding a well-rounded education is a worthy goal, but the existing general-education requirements are sufficient to achieve that.

Route to class riddled with misunderstandings
"Do you have a dime?" the male student asked me as I passed him on Wescoe Beach.
Perspective
"No, I'm sorry. I don't have any change," I replied, matter-of-factly. I jingled my empty jacket pockets for emphasis.
The young man looked at me, startled.
"I'm not a bum," he said defensively. "All I wanted was the time."
"Oh, sorry," I said, embarrassed. "I thought you wanted a dime.
I glanced at my wristwatch, informed him of the hour and minute and continued on my way to class. I was surprised about how we had misunderstood each other in a matter of seconds.
I thought he wanted a coin. He was under the impression

that I thought he was a beegar. How quickly perceptions can get tumbled up!
The error in communication was mostly my fault; I had been hurrying to class without paying attention to my environment. I was not listening carefully enough to differentiate between "time" and "dime."
But short conversations like this — when one or both people are not paying attention — occur frequently. I've overheard them on campus, and I've been a part of them myself. They usually take place when people pass each other in a rush.
One of the most common deals with questions that serve as greetings — inquiries including "How are you?" and "What's up?" that don't really demand an answer. They've almost become colloquialisms that just mean "HI."
Should people actually answer these questions? Would a nod or smile in return suffice? I usually just give a simple reply. However, this could present a problem. Sometimes the person responding to the question says something without listening to the question:
"How are you?"
"Not much, thanks."
Other times the interrogator doesn't listen for a reply and often passes by before the other person has a chance to respond. Or the questioner listens to the answer, but doesn't actually hear it:
How are you:
"Dusty sunny."
"Great! See ya around!"
it's all about miscommunication — of course my friend didn't mean to blow me by asking how my day was going and then leaving me alone on the sidewalk. Situations like these go back to the basic rules of effective speaking, such as eye contact.
Great see ya about it.
When I've been in these situations, I usually just laugh and forget about it, realizing that the other person really just meant to say hello. But other times, I feel cheated. If someone really wanted to know how I was, why didn't they actually take a few seconds to listen to the wonderful or horrible things happening to me?
I try to remember this, along with the fact that conversations aren't meant to occur while people pass others for a brief moment. That's why I try not to let the words "How are you?" slip from my mouth as I see a familiar face during one of many daily taunts from point A to point B.
I also try to say "Hello!" — not "How are you?" — when a simple salutation is what I'm looking for.
When I'm rushing to class, oblivious to the world around me, sometimes I stop to talk to someone who asks me a question. When needed, I ask people to repeat themselves so I understand exactly what they are saying.
so if you see me on campus and need to know what time it is, please ask. I promise to listen to your question — and I won't think you're a bum.

Tampon use more risky than companies tell you
Women today are spending more than $2 billion per year on disposable pads and tampons, while information regarding their safety, production and necessity is being overlooked, ignored and
Would you buy a car that hadn't gone through safety tests? What about eat at a restaurant that didn't have health codes? Then women, why are you using 4 to 5 tampons per day, five days per month, for a future of 38 menstruating years (I'd call that repeated contact), without knowing if that product is safe?
The issue of whether tampons and pads contain dioxin — a chemical that has been linked to cancer and other health problems — is the latest hot topic that activists are trying to fight and corporations are trying to defend. Dioxin would especially be dangerous if present in tampons because the vaginal lining is much

more absorbent than skin and because women wear tarmons for hours at a time.
Nice try, but saying that you have to spray chemicals all over the cotton during production and then have to bleach that cotton to get rid of the chemicals isn't good enough reasoning for me. U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, (D.N.Y.) wasn't satisfied either. In 1996 and 1997, she even introduced a Women's Health and Dioxin. Act in Congress, which would require assessment of the risks involved in using tampons.
The corporations say they've changed their ways. You can find explanations online from Tampax, Kotex and Playtex regarding this issue. Tampax says flat out that its tampons don't contain dioxin. It also says that bleaching "has to happen to eliminate impurities and make the fibers more absorbent, which of course is good for the environment because a more effective product would mean fewer needed, and less waste."
What does the Food and Drug Administration have to say about all this? A recent FDA report
Every year women in the United States purchase more than 12 billion pads and 7 billion disposable tampons. Their production is leading to deforestation and pesticide use, and the packaging from these products ends up in landfills and waterways. On top of all that, there might be a serious health risk. The commercial products aren't more convenient or better just because the big companies advertise. So go the safest route, and save your health, your conscience, the environment and your money — better safer than sick.
On top of the dioxin debate, there are other issues: The environmental impacts of the additional garbage (applicators washing up on beaches), the money spent ($2 billion!) and the behavior of the corporations manufacturing these products (such as Procter & Gamble, which produces Tampax tampons and is known as an animal tester).
the conclusion: There are alternatives. Better, safer products are now on the market and many women use them. Here in Lawrence there are options available at The Community Mercantile, 901 Mississippi. An all-cotton, non-chlorine bleached, no additives tampon by Natracare is available for $4.29 (20 regular size). Or there is a 100 percent organically-grown cotton tampon by Organic Essentials available for $7.39 (20 regular size). The Merc also has all-cotton natural pads and liners.
The coolest alternatives, however, are the products made by Keepers! Inc. — GladRags, which are quality, long-lasting, reusable, washable cotton pads, priced at 3 for $22.50; and The Keeper, which is a reusable soft gum rubber device that collects, rather than absorbs, and is said to last for 10 years. It costs $27.99, and you only need one.
states: "Some elemental chlorine-free bleaching processes can theoretically generate dioxins at extremely low levels, and dioxins are occasionally detected in trace amounts in mill effluents and pulp. In practice, however, this method is considered to be dioxin free."
Doesn't sound like a guarantee to me. Especially when the risk I would be taking trying to discover who is right isn't worth my health and isn't necessary.

Feedback
Math group leaders do care, work hard
A Feb. 24 editorial stated that math group leaders are "immature and incompetent." This is not true and is rather offensive. The group leaders approach their classes with the utmost desire to help facilitate student learning. Many often spend hours designing fun and interactive lesson plans that help students grasp major concepts. They take great pride in their classes' performances and make honest efforts to offer sufficient help outside of class. For
Math 101 and 002, the tutoring room is open for 64 hours per week. This is far more than in any other class.
Do you propose we have professors teach Math 101 and 002 courses? If this were a possible solution, professors would teach Math 101 courses that consisted of about 200 students. This would create a difficult environment for learning math. Students would not be able to have the personal attention that they need. The Editorial Board mentioned that students do not receive "sufficient amounts of help outside of class" as it is. Do you expect that having professors teach courses actually will increase this opportunity?
The Kansas Algebra Program is a wonderful program that allows students the ability to learn math in an environment that is relatively small and more personal. It would be wonderful if a professor could teach every class, but that simply cannot happen. So why not have dedicated, personable undergraduate who have a genuine concern for their students and a desire to see their students succeed teach classes?

Professional yo-yo artists spin off tricks of the trade
By BriAna Hess
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
As a professional yo-yo
spinner, 14-year-old Philip
Travalent can walk the Dog,
Spank the Baby and Shoot
the Moon. And those are
just a few of the tricks in his
repertoire.
Travalent, who lives in Kansas City, Mo., and his sidekick, Tyler Richenberger, 14, of Liberty, Mo., demonstrated yo-yo techniques, tricks and freestyle performances yesterday afternoon at HobbyTown USA, 2108 W. 27th St. The two, called the Gravity Squad, performed to promote the Yo-Yo Jams, a miniature yo-yo that Travalent helped design — one of the perks he gets as miniature yo-yo world champion.
in their hour-long display, the boys demonstrated three yo-yo throws, three different types of tricks, and team routines to techno music.
Travalent said that all of the tricks he and Richenberger performed were basic but that they had built on them. The two pulled a boy out of the audience and taught him four tricks in about 10 minutes.

Some of the tricks that impressed the crowd of about 50 were the Pickpocket, in which Travalent spun his yo-yo
into Richenberger's pocket,
and the Texas Cowboy, in which Travalent swig his yo-yo like a lasso around his head and then around his feet while he jumped.
Travalent said that after he learned basic tricks, such as the Gravity Pull, the Sleeper and Walking the Dog, he was able to try harder tricks and regenerating tricks, in which the yo-yo does not stop between tricks.
"Once you get really good, you can keep the yo-yo going for hours." Travalent said.
Travalent's manager, who also doubles as his mom, said the two boys met at the yo-yo workshops at Wind Wizards in Kansas City. Mo. Since then, Rita Travalent said the boys have become friends and were trying to launch their own entertainment business. She said that there were different skill levels and that once the kids reached professional spinner status, they started to teach others.
"The kids taught the kids and the kids ran it," she said.
As manager, Rita Travalen handles most of the sound's scheduling.
The boys said they have been spinning for more than two years. In August, Travalent received a Yo-Yo Jams sponsorship and since has competed in Hawaii, where he earned his world

Zen artist to unveil Japanese culture, art
The Spencer Museum of Art will offer a unique glimpse into Japanese culture when Japanese Zen artist Fukushima Keido Roshi demonstrates calligraphy at noon tomorrow at the Central Court in the museum.
"He does this demonstration in a very European-looking central court in the middle of Kansas, and you get a glimpse of Japanese culture that you might not even see if you were in Tokyo," said Andrea Norris, director of the museum.
"It's just something you wouldn't encounter."
Zen Buddhism is a practice of meditative soul-searching to find liberation from past habits and perceptions, which is reflected in the fluid brush strokes of the painting and calligraphy.
The Roshi, chief abbot of Tofukihuji Temple in Kyoto, Japan, leads 370 temples across Japan. This is his 12th visit to the University of Kansas, and it is part of the museum's current exhibit, "The Art of 20th Century Zen: Paintings and Calligraphy by Japanese Masters," which includes some of the Roshi's work.
Because Zen calligraphy is created while the artist is in meditation, it's not something
"When he does the demonstration, he meditates for about 15 minutes, and then he does the character and then he talks about it," Norris said. "His questions and answers are wonderful. He's very kind and funny and warm and very open to America."
that people do in public in Japan, Norris said. The Roshi began calligraphy presentations in the United States because he believes in their educational value, she said.
His visit will also include a lecture that discusses the historical perspective of the characteristics of Zen. The Roshi will also talk with an Eastern civilization and a Japanese religion class, said Carolyn Chinn Lewis, assistant to the director of the museum.
In addition, the Roshi will lead two groups in meditation at Robinson Center. Participants bring pillows and sit in position as the Roshi guides them through two 15-minute sittings and offers suggestions on how to get the most from meditation, said Norris, who has previously attended the beginner session.
The advanced session will be at 7 a.m. Wednesday at 207 Robinson, but students wishing to take that session first need to contact Andrew Tsubaki at 864-3534
The beginner session will be 5:30 to 7 p.m. tomorrow at Robinson. Both sessions are free.
"In this modern world, we need to stop all of our activities and look at ourselves, but before we can do that, we can empty our minds through meditation," said Tsubaki, professor of theater and film and director of international theater studies. "It's the practice of how to empty your mind and to concentrate."
Norris said meditation was not religious.
"It's about ways you can refresh yourself," she said.

Professor part of Pulitzer-winning book
By Jennifer Knopp Special to the Kansan
Even though Randy Van Schmus' profession has nothing to do with writing, his work has landed him in a Pulitzer Prize-winning book.
Van Schmus, chairman of the geology department, and other geologists from around the country collaborated with John McPhee on his book Annals of the Former World. The book contains four sections, each of which details the work of a geologist from a different part of the country.
McPhee first contacted Van Schmus about the book in the spring of 1994. The author had already talked to earth scientists on the East and West coasts.
In 1999, the book won the Pulitzer for best nonfiction entry.
— and a friend of Van Schmus. Moores recommended that McPhee interview Van Schmus as a source in the Midwest.
mchee spent a weekend in March 1994 observing Van Schmus at a geology camp for undergraduate students in Colorado. McPhee
also visited Van Schmus in his research lab at the University of Kansas that fall, allowing him to view different perspectives on the subject.
Van Schmus said McPhee's book was a mixture of people and geology. It unearths not only rocks but also the opinions and personalities of those studying the rocks, he said.
"McPhee has taken three or four people and worked through their eves, in effect." Van Schmus said.
He said watching a great writer in the midst of the writing process was what he enjoyed most. Van Schmus said that McPhee was the laymen's
representative of geological study.
"There were still facets of geology that were new to him, but he has a very inquisitive mind and that helps." he said.
Adrian Berry, Lawrence senior, and former mineralogy student of Van Schmus, said his former professor was competent and capable of performing the job well.
Since being featured in the book, Van Schmus has been promoted within the geology department from associate chairman to chairman after the former chairman resigned.
"He just really knows his stuff more than anything," he said.
Grad students get teaching, professional development tips
By Karen Lucas Special to the Kansan
University of Kansas graduate students in history dined Saturday on a campus workshop buffet that served up tips on teaching, career opportunities and publishing.
About a dozen students attended the second annual Teaching and Professional Development Workshop at the Dole Human Development Center. The department of history, the Center for Teaching Excellence and the History
Graduate Student Organization sponsored the workshop.
"We wanted to address topics that weren't covered in our regular course work," said Richard Hughes, workshop organizer and vice president of the History Graduate Student Organization.
Lyne Holt, principal analyst for the Kansas Legislative Research Department, and Virgil Dean, editor at the Kansas State Historical Society, offered a session on non academic job opportunities.
Holt said she used skills at her jot that she had learned as a graduate student, such as writing well and synthesizing ideas.
director of the Writing Center.
Eric Juhnke, Lawrence graduate student, said it was good to learn about other employment possibilities because the academic job market was tight for graduate students in history.
Dale Nimz, Lawrence graduate student, gave high marks for the session on improving student writing, which was presented by Michele Eodice,
Cindy Pierard, library instruction coordinator, showed graduate students how they could use the Web in classroom teaching.
The remaining workshop sessions focused on the use of art and film in history classes and on how to get a dissertation published.

Thousands protest acquittal
Diallo verdict spurs criticism
NEW YORK—Thousands of angry and frustrated New Yorkers took to the streets Saturday to protest the acquittal of four white police officers who killed an unarmed African immigrant in a barrage of 41 bullets.
The Associated Press
"Killer cops have got to go!" shouted a crowd of more than 2,500 people who marched down Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan to criticize the verdict in the Amadou Diallo murder trial.
Some members of the mostly young, multiracial crowd taunted police, who tried to keep protesters on the sidewalks. The crowd marched south from 59th Street to City Hall, where it was met by a large contingent of police officers. Eventually, protesters were dispersed without much incident.
About 40 people were arrested when they sat down in the street near St. Patrick's Cathedral and blocked traffic.
Hours earlier, Diallo's mother told a crowd in Harlem she hoped her son's death would inspire people to fight against police brutality and improve understanding between police and civilians.
"It's about justice," Kadiatou Diallo said a day after the verdicts. "Nothing can replace Amadou...but if his cause can help clarify this situation, ...so that the people can live in peace, I think that would be a great honor for us."
In Newark, N.J., about 150 people protested the verdicts. About 50 people gathered outside Diallo's Bronx home, where several hundred had demonstrated after the verdicts were announced Friday.
The same indignation was evident in many of the 350 people who crammed into the Rev. Al Sharpton's
National Action Network headquarters in Harlem for an emotional rally.
"Murders们!" they shouted.
"Racist cops!" "We want justice!
But a hush fell on the packed room when Diallo's mother approached the podium. As she thanked the audience in a soft voice for the support they had given her family, listeners cried out "Thank you!" and "We love you!"
Diallo said that after sitting through nearly a month of trial testimony and arguments, she still could not understand why her son died. The defense argument that her son's actions had drawn the officers' attention and led them to believe he had a gun caused her particular anguish, she said.
Jurors have avoided the media since the verdict, but juror Thomas Knowles, who answered the door at his upstate home yesterday, said that the group was considering issuing a statement or speaking publicly.
Police to bust Mardi Gras flashers
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — After 360 tourists got busted last year for exposing themselves during Mardi Gras season, police are warning this year's crowd to keep their clothes on or face even more arrests.
And as the holiday parades began, police warned hotel and restaurant owners that they will close down balconies if people toss beads or other trinkets from them. The beads are traditionally offered as rewards to people below for flashing flesh.
On Friday, the first big parade night kicking off Carnival, the 11 days leading up to Mardi Gras, police arrested three women and one man for exposing themselves.
But not everyone thinks a buttoned-down Mardi Gras is a good idea.
"That's what Mardi Gras is all about—having fun and cuttin' up," said Randy Avara, a member of a
It used to be that the exhibitionism was confined to Carnival and Mardi Gras, with mostly drunk women baring their breasts to get strings of plastic beads in the French Quarter. But these days, just about any occasion will do.
crew installing cable for new street lights.
Annie Koenig of Salem, Ore., and her husband, Bill, got an eyeful two weeks ago. "They were taking their tops off. The streets were packed. Guys were begging the girls," Annie Koenig said, shaking her head.
Eleven people were arrested that weekend for indecent exposure, said Lt. Marlon Defillo, a police spokesman.
the debauchery is getting exposure far beyond vacation photo albums. The Playboy Channel has planned shows from the French Quarter this year. MTV's Real World has come down for Carnival. And many Web
sites advertise photographs and videos of women baring their breasts for beads. Some are for sale, others can be downloaded for free.
Earlier this month, police took 1,000 placards around the French Quarter and asked merchants and businesses to display them before Mardi Gras, which falls on March 7 this year.
"Uniform and plainclothes officers will be vigilant in the French Quarter and WILL TAKE the appropriate action if the law is violated ... just ask the 360 people who were arrested last year for lewd conduct," the placards say.
Last year's arrests more than doubled the 163 obscenity arrests during Carnival 1998, Defillo said. Of those arrested last year, 324 were out-of-state tourists, while the rest were mostly from other Louisiana towns.
Violators can get six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, though that is unlikely for first-timers.

Jurors have avoided the media since the verdict, but juror Thomas Knowles, who answered the door at his upstate home yesterday, said that the group was considering issuing a statement or speaking publicly.
Police to bust Mardi Gras flashers
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — After 360 tourists got busted last year for exposing themselves during Mardi Gras season, police are warning this year's crowd to keep their clothes on or face even more arrests.
And as the holiday parades began, police warned hotel and restaurant owners that they will close down balconies if people toss beads or other trinkets from them. The beads are traditionally offered as rewards to people below for flashing flesh.
On Friday, the first big parade night kicking off Carnival, the 11 days leading up to Mardi Gras, police arrested three women and one man for exposing themselves.
But not everyone thinks a buttoned-down D箭 Gras is a good idea.
"That's what Mardi Gras is all about — having fun and cuttin' up," said Randy Avara, a member of
crew installing cable for new street lights.
It used to be that the exhibitionism was confined to Carnival and Mardi Gras, with mostly drunk women barring their breasts to get strings of plastic beads in the French Quarter. But these days, just about any occasion will do.
Annie Koenig of Salem, Ore., and her husband, Bill, got an eyeful two weeks ago. "They were taking their tops off. The streets were packed. Guys were begging the girls," Annie Koenig said, shaking her head.
Eleven people were arrested that weekend for indecent exposure, said Lt. Marlon Defillo, a police spokesman.
The debauchery is getting exposure far beyond vacation photo albums. The Playboy Channel has planned shows from the French Quarter this year. MTV's Real World has come down for Carnival. And many Web
sites advertise photographs and videos of women baring their breasts for beads. Some are for sale, others can be downloaded for free.
Earlier this month, police took 1,000 placards around the French Quarter and asked merchants and businesses to display them before Mardi Gras, which falls on March 7 this year.
"Uniform and plainclothes officers will be vigilant in the French Quarter and WILL TAKE the appropriate action if the law is violated ... just ask the 360 people who were arrested last year for lewd conduct," the placards say.
Violators can get six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, though that is unlikely for first-timers.
Last year's arrests more than doubled the 163 obscenity arrests during Carnival 1988, Defillo said. Of those arrested last year, 324 were out-of-state tourists, while the rest were mostly from other Louisiana towns.

Horses that have
by Sara Shepherd

Top: (From left) Rachel Dixon, Kansas City high school student, Dave Proxel, Omaha, Neb., junior, and Sarah Curry, Omaha, Neb., junior, share a laugh with 7-year-old Sean Varner. Sean, who has cerebral palsy, rides horses once a week for therapeutic reasons.

Serenate Farms School of Equestrian Arts provides therapeutic horseback riding for people of all ages who have physical or mental disabilities. Bud and Marti Newell founded the operation in 1993.
Nice Punny, frots, he dangly lets go of the saddle horn every so often to push his little green helmet up from in front of his eyes.
"We wanted to do something that would grab us by the heart," Bud said. "We wanted to make a difference."
Like any other 7-year-old, Sean is missing a few baby teeth. He wears blue jeans and sneakers and seems happy and carefree. But unlike most children, Sean has cerebral palsy. He is riding for therapy, as much as fun.
Some KU students make a weekly 30-minute drive to volunteer at the 240-acre farm at Big Springs, an unincorporated town on U.S. Highway 40 between Lawrence and Topeka.
Therapeutic riding: how it works
Pamela Botts, associate director of counseling and psychological services at KU, said the physical aspect of riding was important, but the unique combination of physical and psychological benefits also got the riders to develop trust with the horse, other people and themselves.
Bud agreed that the therapy gave physical benefits as well as emotional empowerment. Physically disabled clients may not be able.*
The kinds of conditions and disabilities helped by therapeutic riding.

- Autism
- Brain injuries
- Cardiovascular accident/stroke
- Cerebral palsy
- Down syndrome

run and play like other children, but the chance to ride a horse can make them feel special.
"All their lives, they've sat in a wheelchair looking up, but on therapy night, they sit on a horse and look down." Bud said.
Sean's mother,
Joyce Varner,
Topeka resident, said
she agreed. She said
Sean couldn't play
sports like his
brother.
"But he can come out here," she said. Research has shown that the rhythmic motion atop a horse helps improve balance, flexibility and muscle strength for
"When you ride a horse, it's the only therapy known to man that exercises every muscle from the pelvic girdle to the base of your skull at the same time," Bud said. "There's no other tool made that does that."
physically disabled riders who may be unable to walk normally on their own.
Psychological benefits come from contact with the horse as well as the rest of the rider's surroundings (the sights, the sounds, volunteers, staff, family and peers). These factors help increase clients' confidence, patience and self-esteem.
Sarah Keller, Pratt sophomore, said she had seen the benefits of the therapy first-hand from volunteering at the farm.
"With a lot of kids, it teaches them to be responsible for something else so they can be
responsible for themselves." she said
Marti said volunteers were essential in forming a "therapy team" for each client, because socializing was just as important as the ride itself. She said the therapy was more effective if supportive people surrounded the client, including consistent volunteers.
Serenata Farms volunteer David Proksel, Omaha, Neb., junior, said he agreed. Children were often shy and unresponsive at first, Proksel said, but after a few weeks of therapy they recognized their volunteers and became more comfortable.
A team of volunteers: 'something that's meaningful'
"Some of them are really scared of people, and they don't like strangers at all," Keller said. "But having the horse there is kind of like a medium between you and the kids."
When a client rides at Serenata Farms, there are three volunteers with them all the time. Two "sidewalkers" stay on either side
In traditional horsemanship, horses are trained to respond to physical cues. The rider uses the reins and a bit in the horse's mouth to guide and stop the horse. A nudge or kick to the horse's flank signal it to walk.
of the horse to make sure the rider stays on. The "horse handler" leads the horse with a rope
But the rider still has an important job.
The horses at Serenata Farms are trained to respond to verbal cues instead. Because many riders do not have complete control of their legs and arms, it would be easy for the horse to misinterpret their movements. So the rider is in charge of saying "whoa" or "walk on." In cases where the rider can't speak, such as an autistic child, the horse handler translates.
Several Kansas universities have student internship programs available in conjunction with Serenata Farms. The University of Kansas doesn't have any formal programs, but some KU students volunteer there on
their own.
"The volunteers derive a real sense of doing something that's meaningful here," Marti said.
A satisfied client
RoAn Rangel brings her 12-year-old son, Corey, to weekly riding sessions at Serenata Farms. She said the commute from their home in Spring Hill was definitely worth the time.
"I know that when we get in the car and come out here, he gets excited," Rangel said. Corey was born with a rare chromosomal disorder called Pallister/Killan syndrome. Symptoms associated with the disability include extremely low muscle tone and mental retardation.
There are many things Corey will never do, Rangel said, but the goal is for him to control his muscles the best that he can. At Serenata Farms, Corey's tasks include sitting up on his own, holding onto the saddle horn, holding his head up and responding to basic instructions—all on horseback.
Rangel said Corey responded more to riding at Serenata Farms than any other therapy they had tried.
"This is the most motivated that I've ever seen him than with any of the other therapy." Rangel said. "I've seen more gains in a shorter period of time."
Proving results: still a challenge
People who are in the arena each week agree that it's easy to see improvement in the clients. But right now, the results are only measurable to eyewitnesses.
The Newell's next challenge is to evaluate the therapy's results and present data for medical professionals. Serenata Farms is in the process of setting up studies, with physical therapists on site to measure progress.
"Our role and our mission is to develop outcome studies that report the results that are measurable." Bud said.
"The therapy that you receive on horseback, as a treatment and not as a recreational modality, seems to gather quick results in almost all indications." Bud said.
He said many people still did not believe in therapeutic riding as a legitimate form of therapy.
Though horseback riding may not be widely prescribed, the idea of using horses in therapy has been around for a while. The first centers for therapeutic riding in North America began operating in the 1960s.
Still some physical therapists perceive the program as competition, instead of supplementary therapy, Bud said.
The price of therapy isn't cheap. It costs $85 a person for an hour of riding therapy.
Rangel said that without official documentation of the medical benefits of riding, insurance providers would not pay for the therapy.
Varner said she had experienced the same problem, so Sean's physical therapist observed him riding at Serenata Farms. Varner said she boped the therapist would be able to make reports that could persuade their insurance company to pay for Sean's therapy.
When the riding session is finished, Sean wheels himself out of the arena and into the handicap-accessible stall where Funny is waiting for some oats. He gets to hold the feed pan in his lap while the horse eats.
No one seems in a hurry to leave. When it is time to go, Sean takes off his helmet and stashes it in a cubby to use again next time — only a week away.

Jayhawks preparing for Texas
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Mihm's the word.
Minn's the worl Or at least that was one topic of discussion after the Jayhawks rolled over the Baylor Bears 80-70 Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse.
Forget that the Jayhawks improved to 21-7 overall and 10-4 in the Big 12 Conference with the victory. Forget that No. 23 Kansas showed poise down the stretch by foiling a Baylor comeback. Forget that four Kansas players scored in double figures.
The Jayhawks are concerned solely with their 8:05 game tonight at Texas against the Longhorns and their 7-foot center, Chris Mihm.
"I don't think there's any question that we've got a big task," said Kansas coach Roy Williams.
Make that a Texas-sized task. The Longhorns are ranked No. 14 in the nation, 20-7 overall and 11-3 in the Big 12 - which places them tied for second in the conference with Oklahoma State and one game ahead of Kansas.
Kansas.
A win would almost assure Kansas of a top-four finish in the Big 12, but it won't come easy considering that Texas is 12-1 at home this season.
"I remember them last year," said Kansas guard Jeff Boschie, referring to the Jayhawks' 76-67 victory against the Longhorns in the fieldhouse. "They are extremely physical. We're going to have to worry about Mihm, but he can't win the game by himself."
And then there's 6-7 senior forward Gabe Muoneke, a regular in Texas' starting lineup until he was replaced six games ago by Owens. Texas coach Rick Barnes said that Muoneke, who is second on the team in scoring and rebounding, would probably get the start tonight because it is senior night at the Erwin Center.
can't win the game, so Indeed, Mihm's list of cohorts is a long one. There's Ivan Wagner and Darren Kelly, Texas' guards who average a combined 18.1 points a game. There's sophomore forward Chris Owens, who's third on the team in rebounding.

Axtell's absence causes speculation
Read this column and I'll answer the most widely-asked question on campus: What's the deal with Luke Axell?
For those who have been watching VH1's Where Are They Now? marathon non-stop since early February, Axell has not been playing or practicing for the Jayhawks because of what the team has described as a non-life threatening illness. He'll miss his ninth-straight game tonight.
straight game but before I tell you about Axtell — a story. I'm hanging out at my local bar of choice and someone walks up to me and asks, "Jonesey?" I reply "Whaasssuuuppp!!" doing my best Budweiser commercial imitation.
This person whom I don't know steps closer, squints and asks, "Seth. C'mon, give me the scoop. What's really up with Luke Axtell?"
The first 100 times this happened to me, I laughed and made up a ludicrous answer to show that I had no idea.
had no idea.
"A serious lack of defense," I'd say. Eventually, I became jaded with the question. Do people really think I know? Do they think I care?
Do they think it's any of my business?
After I give my ridiculous response, the person shakes his or her head, and starts giving me the scoop, as if they had just been on the inside of the Watergate scandal.
"You know what I heard?" They say, "My Aunt's best friend's coworker knows Luke's stock broker. He said."
Tonight, the Jayhawks face Texas in what had the potential to be quite a homecoming for Axtell. Instead, he will either not be in attendance or not be in uniform. Both possibilities are disappointing.
Oh, but I told you that once and for all, I'd give you the low down, the 411, the scoop, the dilly-yo on Luke and his mystery "non-life threatening" sickness.

So here you
have it! It's none of your business.
And I don't mean that in a rude way.
It's none of my business either.
There's an invisible bubble that athletes step in and out of. Inside the bubble, they're playing their sport. I can ask about a dumb haircut, poor free-throw shooting or any distractions an athlete is dealing with while on the court.
But then they step outside the bubble and go home. They watch professional wrestling, eat leftover pizza and call their parents. While they're outside the bubble, we leave them alone.
them alone.
Whatever is keeping Axtell from shooting three pointers at Allen Fieldhouse is outside that bubble.
When asked about his recent slump, Eric Chenowith told a reporter, "I knew my play would be heavily scrutinized when I came here. If I wasn't prepared for that, I wouldn't have come to a big-name program like Kansas."
The key word there is play. The performance of these guys on the court is talked about until fans are blue in the face. But athletes should not have to give up all of their privacy just because they came to Kansas.
That said, I hope Axtell gets better quickly and returns to the basketball court soon. Part of the obligation of accepting a scholarship at Kansas as a basketball player is that you . play basketball.
Now, let's focus on the players who actually are playing.

The Kansas baseball team didn't pass its test this weekend.

In the first two games, Kansas was plagued by both 10 defensive errors and offensive shortcomings — the Jayhawks stranded 13 players on base. Yesterday, the

The No. 25 Jayhawks shot seven-for-28 in the first half at No. 24 Oklahoma, helping them dig a 22-point hole at halftime, and got pounded 88-69 at the Lloyd Noble Center.
"They were very aggressive on us and we just didn't respond — and that's where we lost the game as far as I'm concerned," said Kansas coach Marian Washington.
The Sooners scored the most points against the Jayhawks this season, and more importantly, they handed Kansas its fourth loss in its last six road games.

The game was tied 4-4 about two minutes into the game when the Sooners went booming on a 23-4 run. During that stretch, Oklahoma sophomore guard Stacey Dales pushed the ball into the paint, drew doubleteams and dished. The Sooners had 11 assists at halftime.

sitting in it. "It was very physical and they were getting away with a lot of pushing and bumping," said junior forward Jaclyn Johnson, who also scored 19 points. "We didn't adjust. And it showed."
And Kansas set Oklahoma to get them. The Sooners set the tempo, attacking the backboards, grabbing defensive rebounds and starting their transition game.
Kansas did make some adjustments in the second half. Although Oklahoma increased its lead to as many as 35 points, the 'Hawks outscored the Sooners 51-48. And they did it despite senior forward Phylesha Whaley adding to her game-high 23 points.
Kansas, which dropped to 19-8 and 10-5 in the Big 12, can lock up a No.4 seed and a first-round bye in the Big 12 Conference tournament with a victory against Texas A&M Wednesday. But it can't seem to crack the code of the league's officiating pattern.

"It really doesn't matter how a game is called," Washington said after the very physical game. "My problem is that we never know. And its not always the same, even in the same game. That's my challenge."
Track team sweats out the small stuff in Iowa

Kansan sportswriter
AMES, Iowa — Inches and seconds are everything in track and field.
And the Kansas track and field team found itself scraping for every little one this weekend at the Big 12 Indoor Conference Championships.
There, some titles were won and lost by the narrowest margins.
the hardwose margin Junior All-American Charlie Gruber got a crash course in how a little can mean so much in Saturday's mile finals. In that race, Gruber came from behind in the last 50 meters, beating out Iowa State's Daniel Kinyua by just two-hundredths of a second and winning his third Conference title.
For Gruber's fellow junior All-American, Andrea Branson, inches made all the difference. Branson, the record-holder and defending conference champion and in the pole vault, lost both titles by 6 inches to Kansas State's Erin Anderson. Anderson cleared Branson's personal best height of 13-feet-1, while Branson finished second with her last cleared height of 12-7. Anderson and Brandon had been jumping at 13-5, but neither could clear the bar.
Branson's co-team captain, junior Jabari Wamble, placed fourth in the 400

On the field, sophomore Ryan Speers continued the battle for inches in the
meter dash with a time of 46.76 seconds.
Not bad, considering the top seven finishers in the eight-person final, including Wamble, provisionally qualified for NCAA Championships in that race.
"I'm happy with a third-place finish," said Speers, who placed eighth in last year's event. "I felt like I could have done better, but I'll take third."
Junior heptathlete Andy Morris also had mixed feelings about his finish. Morris was excited to have finally completed his first heptathalon, but he was uneasy about his fourth-place finish, which was just four points short of a second-place tie.

one-piece it. "I can't look at it as four points behind because I did as good as I could," Morris said. "I can't beg for inches and seconds."
And neither could coach Gary Schwartz, who watched the men's team place 10th with 34 points, and the women's team finish 12th with 14.5 points. The men were six points out of ninth and the women were one-half point out of 11th. Nebraska won both women's and men's titles with 154.5 points and 115 points, respectively.
"I'm pleased with the individual effort, but we still need to do better in the team event," Schwartz said. "Unfortunately we didn't score as many points as we wanted to, but the kids are really competitive this year, they've really got something going and that will help me in the long run."

Conditions are getting easier for you, but it hasn't happened quite yet. You have been cleaning house or moving (or both) for days. By late tonight or tomorrow, you should be able to relax. The end is in sight, so don't despair.

You'll need to get practical, soon. You may have already spent the money, so you'd better find a way to pay those bills. There is plenty of work, lucky for you. Taking on a second job could be the answer. It doesn't have to be forever, just for a while.
You should feel much better soon. The tension will fade, and you'll be able to relax more fully. You'll be able to find a way to manage your money too. So you might as well stop worrying about any and all of those things right now.

Be careful with your work. Be aware that mistakes could creep in. Meanwhile, confusion should be rampant. It's not just you. Most jobs will take two to three times as long as they should; so don't overbook your time.

You had an interesting day recently, so take it easy now. Make some time for yourself and your sweetheart. If you're not in a romantic relationship getting together with a good friend is fine. The idea is to relax, in good company.
More than the usual amount of confusion is going around. You may have discovered that things weren't the way you thought. Somebody you considered a friend could fall from your affection. Somebody else could provide unexpected assistance. Take care and be flexible.

CARLSBAD, Calif. — Darren Clarke won the biggest prize of his career by taking down the No. 1 player in the world with a stunning 4 and 3 victory against Tiger Woods in the final of Match Play Championship yesterday.
Irish golfer puts end to Woods' domination
GOLF
Tiger Woods
It capped an incredible week end for Clarke, the 31-year-old from Northern Ireland who knocked off Ryder Cup star Hal Sutton and second-ranked David Duval before handing Woods perhaps his worst loss ever in match play.
Woods: Says he was outplayed by Darren Clarke
"Darren just flat outplayed me," Words said.
Clarke earned $1 million, nearly four times his largest paycheck, and became the first international player to win a World Golf Championship event.
After a brilliant morning round that featured six birdies by each player and no lead changes in the final 11 holes. Clarke pulled away with a birdie blitz that no one had been able to throw at Woods during his domination of golf the past 10 months.
Clarke, who never trailed since the fourth hole of the 36-hole final, birdied four out of five holes early in the afternoon round to go 4-up with 10 holes to play, a deficit even Woods could not overcome.
"To play as solid as I did today against Tiger, it's fantastic," Clarke said.
The victory was the sixth of his career and first in America for Clarke

Labonte hung with the leaders throughout the 393-lap race at North Carolina Speedway and finally began to show the power in his Joe Gibbs Racing Pontiac when he took the lead on lap 242.

ROCKINGHAM, N.C. — Bobby Labonte built a big enough lead to hold off charging Dale Earnhardt yesterday as General Motors turned the tables on Ford in the Dura-Lube/Kmart 400.
Yesterday's show was exciting throughout, with 22 lead changes among 10 drivers and plenty of position changes all the way to the back of the pack.

NEW YORK — His biggest mistake behind him, Oscar De La Hoya is looking to aggressively work his way through the wettweight ranks and back to a championship.
He began that climb Saturday night in convincing style with a seventh-round knockout of Derrell Coley. De La Hoya, who lost his WBC title on Sept. 18 when he faded late in his fight with Felix Trinidad, attacked nearly all night.
That's what he says fans can expect from now on, including, he hopes, in a rematch with Trinidad or a bout with leading contender Shane Mosley this year.

Slam dunk champion has season-high game
Carter scored 51 points — the most in the NBA this season and the most in his career — leading the Toronto Raptors to a 103-102 win against the Phoenix Suns yesterday.
Last week NBC changed its schedule, adding the Raptors game so it could show one of the league's most luminous players for the first time in the regular season. Carter's between-the-legs jam won the slam-dunk contest at the All-Star game two weeks ago, and helped land him a spot on a recent cover of Sports Illustrated.
Carter made 17-of-32 shots and was 13-of-13 from the foul line. He hit four 3-point shots, grabbed nine rebounds, had three steals and also provided the crowd with a number of high-flying moves.

The highest point total in the NBA this season was 50 by the Suns' Cliff Robinson and the 76ers' Allen Iverson.

NEW YORK — Anthony Mason of the Charlotte Hornets was arrested on assault charges early Saturday after a fight outside a bar in Harlem.
Mason was arraigned Saturday night on a misdemeanor assault charge, posted $1,100 bond and headed for New Jersey, where the Hornets were playing the New Jersey Nets. He wasn't in the building at the start of the

The fight broke out about 3:30 a.m. outside Perks Bar, police said. Mason, a former New York Knicks player, and four other men were involved in the fight against three others, officer Chris Cottingham said.
The others with Mason also were charged with third-degree assault.
The three men allegedly assaulted by Mason's group were hospitalized for minor injuries. Mason wasn't injured in the fight, Cobbman said.

Seles doesn't lose a set in return from injury
OKLAHOMA CITY — Monica Seles completed her return from a foot injury by beating Nathalie Dechy of France in straight sets yesterday, winning the $180,000 IGA SuperThrift Tennis Classic.
TENNIS
Seles won 6,1- 7,6 in 75 minutes, capping a week in which she didn't lose a set and was broken just twice. Yesterday's match was the only one of her four that lasted more than an hour.
Seles, ranked No. 14 in the world and seeded No. 2, had not played in a tournament since losing the final of the Princess Cup in Tokyo to Lindsay Davenport in late September. Since then, she has been recovering from a stress fracture in her right foot.
She said the foot gave her no trouble this week. She moved well, although she hasn't returned to her peak playing weight.
"I think I'm just really happy that I have no pain anywhere in my feet," she said.

Kansas struggles at the plate in three losses to Creighton
Continued from page 1B
Yesterday, Kansas erased its error woes, and junior Pete Smart (2-2) took the mound for eight strong innings. But he lost his focus in the sixth inning and gave up two runs and four hits, which put Creighton ahead for good.
"I mentally lost it," Smart said. "They weren't hitting me really hard; the balls just found holes. I just let it get to me."
Even though Smart suffered his second loss of the year, Randall said Smart had helped the team's chances of winning the game.
"We pitched a lot better today." Randall said. "We didn't get anxious. We had a lot of chances all series, and we didn't do anything. Creighton deserves the credit."
On the offensive end, senior Brett Kappelmann and junior Brandon Smith were the only Jayhawks with multiple hits.
"We need to get five or six guys swinging the bat, but everyone is really anxious," Randall said. "The hits just aren't falling."
Overall, Kansas struggled at the plate. Junior Doug Dreher struck out three times and hit a ground ball to the pitcher. Junior Jesse Gremminger also went 0-for-4 yesterday. He hit into the game-ending double-play to close out the series.
"We have a lot of guys that aren't on track," Randall said. "Doug can't hit lefties. John Nelson is fighting. Jesse is having a hard time, too. There are signs that it's getting better, but they made us earn our runs. We're not consistent enough."
Dreher did produce hits on the right-handed pitcher on Friday, though. He smashed a grand slam to left field, and his four RBI tied a career high. Randall said if
Baseball Notes
Kansas had improved its at-bats overall, the series could have turned out differently.
"If we would have played a little better, we could have swept them." he said. "The good news is that we're 8-4, and we've been in every ball game."
In Friday's game, sophomore Dan Olon had his longest outing as a Jayhawk, going six and two-thirds innings, allowing just two earned runs while fanning a career-high nine batters. His nine strikeouts are the most by a Jayhawk pitcher this season.
The 'Hawks were pushed to extra innings Friday for the second time this season. The first time against Southwest Missouri State, Kansas won 7-3. They weren't so lucky on Friday — they lost 10-9.

Women take victory, defeat
Tennis team's record now 6-2
By Zac Hunter

Kansas sportwriter
The Kansas women's tennis team split meets with Tulsa and St. Louis universities Saturday at home, improving its record to 6-2 overall.
The doubles teams of senior Brooke Chiller and freshman Tiffany Chang; and senior Julia Sidorova and junior Monica Sekulov were new to the spring season, but both teams won their matches. Sophomore sisters Cheryl and Lisa Malliaiah also won their doubles match.
Although the players were adjusting to new partners, Coach Jenny Garrity said she was pleased with the new combinations communication and execution.
Before the meet, Sekulov said she thought that she and Chang had been playing well. Garrity said she thought the change would help the team late in the season.
The three pairs won their matches against St. Louis 8-0, 8-2 and 8-0, respectively.
After the doubles sweep, the Hawks needed three singles matches for a victory — and they got them quickly.
Cheryl Malliaiah got the first win 60, 60, while the second win came from Sekulov as she Frustrated St. Louis freshman Vicki Zielinski in straight sets. Lisa Malliaiah added the fifth and final point with her victory.
Earlier in the day the Hawks lost their meet with Tulsa 52. Despite the lopsided score, Garrity said that she thought the team worked hard but that it let opportunities pass by.
"We definitely had opportunities — big opportunities." Garrity said. "I thought the girls fought very hard, but we have got to capitalize when we have an opportunity because we don't know when we're going to get another one or if we're going to get another one."
Tulaa got off to a quick start, winning three of the first four singles matches. Chiller got Kansas' lone victory, 6-0, 6-1.

well deserved.
"I would have loved to have a few of those games back, but I told them afterwards that just because we lost doesn't mean everything was wrong," she said. "We had to take the good things and take them into St. Louis and capitalize and I thought that's what they did."
Coming up next for the 'Hawks is the start of the Big 12 season, which begins Sunday with a meet against Texas Tech and continues with a meet against Missouri March 8.

The Jayhawks enter this week's tournament coming off a split with Indiana in two head-to-head matches last week in Orlando, Fla.
Although Coach Nicole Hollingsworth said she was pleased with what the team had accomplished in Orlando, she said this week's tournament was big, and she hoped it would get off to a good start.
"There are going to be some good teams there, but I feel we can do very well," Hollingsworth said. "They have all been practicing hard, and I would be disappointed with anything less than a top 10 finish."
Junior Sarah Mahoney said she was looking forward to this week's tournament.
"Indiana was a good learning experience, but now the competition is going to get even tougher, and we'll have to show we are prepared to deal with it," Mahoney said.

The Kansas softball team can't seem to find its niche.

Their offense has been struggling and the Hawks defense has been far from error-free.
"We are struggling in a lot of phases of the game," said coach Tracy Bunge. "We have had some confidence laps offensively and defensively. We are just not clicking."

During the first inning against Creighton, Kansas centerfielder Shelly Musser suffered a concussion. Musser was tagged out as she attempted to steal second and was accidentally kicked in the head. She will be out for one week.

Kansas unsuccessful in improving times
But none of the swimmers improved.
It was a last chance effort that went for not.
Four of the five swimmers competed Saturday. Grevers swam a 1:04.69 in the 100 breaststroke. Her time was more than a second slower than her school record of 1:03.31 at the Big 12 Championships in College Station, Texas, last weekend.
Five members of the Kansas women's swimming team — junior Carolyn Grevers, sophomore Carolyn Howitz, and freshmen Lyndsay DeVaney, Gwen Haley and Beth Schyner — went to Austin, Texas, to try to better their top times from the season in their best events.
Howitz posted a 1:52.55 in the 200 freestyle. Her season best was 1:51.72.
Haley and Schnyer both competed in 200 individual medley. Haley swam 4:20.50, just .19 behind her personal best 4:20.31, Schneyr 4:25.02 was more than two seconds slower than her 4:22.36 Big 12 Championship time.
DeVaney swam the mile yesterday. Her 17:20.20 was almost a minute behind her time of 16:38.20 at the Big 12 Championships.
Despite the slower times, all of the swimmers except Horwitz are still awaiting word from the NCAA to see if their personal best times qualify them to go to the NCAA championships in Indianapolis.

Two points is two points.
But sometimes one two-point basket can seem completely different from another.
Eric Chenowith's and Kenny Gregory's dunks in Saturday night's 80-70 victory against Baylor at Allen Fieldhouse is one example.
"There is absolutely no comparison between me and Kenny," Chenowith said. "He's Michael Jordan, and I'm Bill Lambier."
OK, so maybe the dunks can't be compared, but both were big in their own wav.
Chenowith's came with 7:20 remaining in the game and with the Jayhawks only up by two. 60-58. After a missed shot, the ball bounced around and Chenowith snatched it out of the air and rushed the basket with two hands looking to slam it home. Baylor's Ben Echols stood in the way, but Chenowith rose over Echols, drew a foul and threw the ball down. But it didn't go down forcefully. The ball rattled around the rim before falling through.
"We call those med-ball dunks," forward Nick Collison said. "Because we use the medicine balls in drills, and that's usually the way the dunks look with those; so we got on him a little." The dunk — vicious or not — ienit-
ed the crowd and Chenowith pumped his fist in the air as if to say 'finally.' As he stood at the free-throw line waiting for the referees to hand him the ball, the crowd rose to its feet and cheered Chenowith's dunk also as if to say 'finally.'
NICK BURKE
"It was a great feeling when the crowd stood and cheered for me." Chenowith said. "It's just nice to know they still care."
Chenowith went on to sink the free throw that put the Jayhawks up five, 63-58 and in position to put the Bears away.
Chenowh: Enjoyed crowd's response to his dunk Saturday
That's when Kenny Gregory came in.
The Jayhawks were on defense when Gregory forced a turnover and released toward the basket. Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich picked up the loose ball and lobbed it down to Gregory in the open court. His one-handed slam put Kansas up 74-64 with 3:54 remaining. But Gregory said it was Chenowith's dunk that mattered most.
"It wasn't too clean." Gregory said.
"But it got us two points at a crucial time, so I'll give him as much credit as he wants for it."
Kansas turns eyes to Texas' Mihm
Continued from page 1B
"They have a lot of weapons," said Williams, who is 3-0 lifetime against the Longhorns. "I said at the beginning of the year that Texas might have the top two big men in the conference in Chris Mihm and Gabe Muoneke."
Controlling Texas' big men is the major concern among Kansas players. Guard Kenny Gregory said that stopping Texas' frontcourt would be the key, while center Eric Chenowith conceded that a lot of the pressure would fall on him because of the way Mihm had been playing.
"He's got a big reputation, and I had a big reputation coming into this year," he said.
Chenwih's reputation has suffered because of a well-documented down year. His offensive numbers have plummeted from 13.5 points per game and 9.1 rebounds last year to 8.9 and 6.4 this year.
Kansas notes:
Jeff Carey will miss two to three weeks of action after breaking a finger in his shooting hand during practice Friday afternoon. Carey has played in 24 games this season, averaging 1.0 points and 1.4 rebounds per game.

Sooners stake'Hawks in 88-69 victory

The Oklahoma women's basketball team never said it had anything to prove, but it played as though it did Saturday in an 88-69 victory against No. 25 Kansas.
This is the best defensive per.
During the first half, No. 24 Oklahoma slashed the usually tough Kansas defense, finding open shots in the paint on almost every possession. The Sooners' defense kept the Jayhawks from even setting up their offense. Oklahoma led 40-18 at halftime

Leap Year leaves some sans birth day
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Katie Holman, Prairie Village sophomore,
can finally celebrate her fifth birthday.
Twenty years ago today, Feb. 29, 1980.
Holman was born a Leap Day baby. Today she will celebrate her birthday — on her actual birth date — for only the fifth time.
“It’s kind of different because the other three years are just kind of there,” Holman said. “When the fourth year comes along, it’s such a big deal that it is all worth it.”
The extra-day phenomenon is a built-in scientific device that keeps the seasons on track, said Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy.
"It takes the earth about 365 and a quarter days to go around the sun," Melott said. "Over a long time, if we had no leap year, the calendar would get more and more advanced, and it would gradually end up being spring in December."
Thanks to the extra day added every four years, the seasons are on track, but things may still seem unusual to those celebrating Leap Day birthdays.
The theoretically 20-year-old Holman said she spent Sunday night with her parents, who brought party favors and decorations suitable for a 5-year-old's party. "It was kind of fun," Holman said. "People think it's really funny because they think they are the first to realize it's only my fifth birthday."
Because her birthday comes only once
every four years, Holman said she celebrated her birthday on either Feb. 28 or March 1 - whichever day was easier.
when I was little it seemed I couldn't wait so it was always the 28th. "Holman said, 'Now I celebrate whenever my friends can so out or when it's the weekend.'
There is a drawback to having such a rare birthday. Next year, when Holman turns 21, she will have to wait the extra day before she is of legal age.
"Since there is no day, the DMV changed my birthday on my driver's license to March 1," Holman said. "That is the biggest bummer — that I don't have 'a day' on my 21st birthday."
Despite the special occasion, Isabel Schmedemann, maternal-child director at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. 235 Maine, said she wasn't expecting any more babies than normal and there hadn't been more induced births scheduled than normal.
But for the babies who are born today, Holman said they had one thing to look forward to with having such a unique birthday.
Payroll check fee debated
"Even though I don't have a special day every year, hardly any of my friends ever forget my birthday," Holman said.

State may require postage fee at KU
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
It's only February, and it's already not a good year for University budget officials.
The Kansas Department of Administration wants to charge the University of Kansas and all state agencies 35 cents for each payroll check it issues. The Kansas Legislature still must approve the plan.
The fee comes in what University and government officials are calling a tight-budget year.
Thirty-five cents may not seem like much, but the University issues about 225,000 payroll checks
a year, said Lindy Eakin, associate provost.
This equals a fee of about $79,290 for the University, said Duane Gossen, state budget director.
“It’s a budget cut of $80,000, pure and simple.” Eakin said. “We certainly hope it doesn’t happen, but it looks like it will. What we're being told is: ‘Shut up and take it.’”
Gossen said that the University of Kansas Medical Center also would pay $27,063 in fees, totaling $106,353 from the University.
Eakin said the University did not yet know where the money for the fee would come from.
ior postage," he said. "It would be like if we charged people to process enrollment."
Eakin said he was upset by the fee. "It's been in their budget to pay
"There are really two reasons why the fee is taking place," Gossen said. "The first is to take pressure off of the state general fund, and the second is to finance future upgrades for state agencies."
He said it was unfair for the department to pass its burden on to the University.
"It's really just so they don't have to go to the Legislature and ask for money for the upgrade," he said.
Until recently, the University had delivered payroll checks on campus, but when it began mailing them a few years ago, the state tried to assess a postage fee. However, that failed, Eakin said.
The proposed fee would take effect July 1,2000,and Gossen said he was confident the bill would pass.
"So far the Legislature has moved it right along," he said. "The legislative bodies that have looked at it in committees have agreed to it."
The department estimated the fee would generate $527,345 from all state agencies.
Campaigns start with beer, tunes
Coalitions organize casual kickoff parties

each of the coalitions said something. It was just boring."
Students First is hoping to fill the Hawk to capacity with supporters and the bar's regulars tomorrow night for its kickoff party.
"We think it's going to be a packed house." said Sam MacRoberts, student body presidential candidate and Leawood junior. "Everyone on the coalition is bringing all of their friends. We just thought it would be good so people who are under 21 could still get in there."
United Students had similar reasoning for picking The Hawk as the

Walker said the party provided an opportunity for the coalition's candidates to officially announce running for office.

City Commission to discuss possible bike patrol for trail
By John Audlehelm
There may be no Mario Lopez the Pacific Blue actor of Saved by the Bell fame — but the Riverfront Park bike trail soon may have its own patrol.

Pacific Blue comes to Lawrence?

The City Commission will learn tonight what city employees think about a volunteer mountain bike patrol.
The patrol, which would consist of seven to 10 volunteer mountain bikers, would ride up and down the trail, rescuing injured bikers, repairing broken bikes and encouraging cyclists to follow proper trail etiquette.
The mountain bike trail is between the flood control levee and the Kansas River and runs from the boat ramp at Eighth and Oak streets to the Mud Creek levee area.
Fred DeVictor, director of parks and recreation for Lawrence, said the patrollers would not be enforcement officers but liaisons between the city and the trail's users.
Greg Schroeder, club captain of the Lawrence Mountain Bike Club and organizer of the proposed bike patrol said volunteers would be trained in first aid, CPR, trail maintenance and repair.
Schroeder said the patrollers, in addition to performing first aid and repair, would only encourage people to follow good biking practices. Such practices include wearing helmets, yielding to walkers and runners and not making ruts by riding in the mud, he said.
"We're not going to be down there trying to make people change the way they do things," Schroeder said.
"The trail has always been voluntarily maintained with minimal organization." Schroeder said.
He said most people thought the city took care of the trail, but the work actually was done by volunteers who met every third Sunday of the month.
He said the patrol also would work to directionalize the trail, which currently is a loop that can cause head-on collisions.
Mike Reading, president of Mtn Blk Lawrence, said the trail was popular because it was an easy ride, did not have any long climbs and was within riding distance of campus.
But because of its tight turns and repeated short climbs, he said, the trail was more technically challenging than the one used in the
1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.
"The river trail is probably the most popular trail in the state of Kansas," he said. "The river trail is a very right single track. If you can ride off-road here, you can ride anywhere."
Riverfront Park bike trail
Soon, cycling enthusiasts may have more company along the Riverfront Park bike trail. The city will hear a proposal tonight from the Lawrence Mountain Bike Club to form a volunteer bike patrol. The patrol would encourage safety and courtesy along the trail, and it would help troubled cyclists.

KU student burglarized threatened with gun
Two suspects threatened a 20-year-old male KU student with a gun Feb. 22 during a robbery at the victim's home.
Two subjects dressed in black and wearing ski masks apparently entered the victim's residence at about 8:40 p.m. in the 1100 block of Indiana Street through an unlocked front door, said Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence police. The victim was at home with his two roommates — one a 19-year-old KU student, the other a 22-year-Lawrence resident.
One of the suspects pointed a gun at the 20-year-old student's head, Wheeler said. The suspects took a metal lock box valued at $16 and left the residence.
Police arrested the two suspects, Police Olathe men, Friday with the assistance of Olathe police, Wheeler said. The 19- and 20-year-old men both were arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery and conspiracy. Christine Tonkavich, Douglas County district attorney, said yesterday afternoon that she did not know whether charges would be filed.

Liquor store robber caught after leaving ID with clerk
All he wanted was a bottle of rum. But brandishing a baseball bat and holding six people against their will in a North Lawrence liquor store to get that rum landed a 21-year-old Lawrence resident in jail Saturday evening, said Sgt. George Wheeler of Lawrence police.
Wheeler said police were called to Koleber Retail Liquor, 1805 W. Second St., where employees said a man had just robbed the store.
The clerk, a 22-year-old Lawrence resident, told police that a man walked into the store at 10:11 p.m. and said that he wanted a bottle of liquor. Wheeler said. He apparently grabbed a 1.75-liter bottle of McCormick's silver rum with a built-in pourer and produced a baseball bat. Wheeler said the suspect then waved the bat around and announced that he would be taking his bottle of liquor. There were five other people in the store.
By the time police arrived, the suspect was gone. But he wasn't hard to find, Wheeler said.
Apparently, when the suspect announced he was going to take the liquor, the clerk asked to see the man's ID, Wheeler. He gave it to her before leaving the store on foot.
Police found the suspect walking down Second Street with the bottle of liquor and arrested him.
He was booked into Douglas County jail on aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping. Wheeler said the kidnapping charge stemmed from the fact that the suspect held six people in the store against their will during the robbery.

Dry weather prompts Lawrence burn ban
The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Department has issued a burn ban for the city of Lawrence.
open fires to dispose of yard waste or to clear land. Chief Jim McSwain said the National Weather Service had rated fire danger in northeast Kansas as very high, which means fires are apt to start easily and from all causes. He said the precaution stemmed from recent dry weather and was rated on four factors: wind, temperature, humidity and moisture.
Direct firefighting attack was rarely possible after fires had been burning for more than a few minutes, he said. Instead of stopping the fire where it is, firefighters must try to stop the fire at a certain point, such as a road.
McSwain said the ban was only in city limits and did not include cooking grills or similar items.

Building may lack operation funds
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Rv. Ryan Devlin
With the renovations on Joseph R. Pearson Hall nearly completed, and the School of Education set to move next fall, the University of Kansas remains uncertain where the money to pay for the building's operation will come from.
Provost David Shulenburger said the operating costs for the hall, which is expected to be about $300,000 next year, would not be covered under Gov. Bill Graves' current recommendations for the 2001 operating budget. The budget will take effect in June of this year.
Marlin Rein, University director of budget and governmental affairs, said the Regents requested an additional $311,000 for this year's budget from the Kansas Legislature to pay for the operating costs.
But Shulenburger said it was too early to tell if the Legislature would come through with the money.
"We are hopeful that the Legislature will fund the Regents' request for the funds to service JRP." Shulenburger said. "If they do not, we will have to internally reallocate sufficient funds to service the building, which implies that we will have less funding to spend on other
activities next year than we have this year."
Lindy Eakin, associate provost,
said the provost's office hadn't
decided which activities might be
cut. He said the provost's office
likely would wait until after the
Legislature made its decision.
"We've generally received most of the operating money we we've asked for from the Legislature for service costs," Eakin said. "We usually get at least the utility money, but this is a pretty big chunk."
Eakin said one option the University might have if the Legislature did not provide the money was to use flexible money to finance the building's operating costs. He said that flexible money was not committed to any specific expenses, but that it gave the University the ability to cover unexpected expenses or to provide additional funding for activities such as library acquisitions or technology investments.
"The flexible money portion of the budget is usually less than one half percent of the budget, or a few hundred-thousand dollars.
"We could use flexible money for one or two years for JRP, but this is a permanent thing," Eakin said. "My guess is that if the Legislature doesn't come through with the money, we'll probably have to bite the bullet and reallocate."
Committee votes to keep student sports fee
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students won't see $20 taken off their campus fees anytime soon.
The campus fee review committee voted yesterday against a proposal by Korb Maxwell, student body president, that gradually would have reduced the women's and nonrevenue sports fee throughout the next five years, eventually eliminating it.
The fee will not be up for review for another three years.
"It doesn't make sense for students to pay a fee to something with a massive budget," Maxwell said.
Spectators of women's and nonrevenue sports should pay for those sports by having The University of Kansas Athletic Corp. charge ticket prices for the sports, Maxwell said. Currently, students with a KUID can attend these events for free.
But if KUAC raised ticket prices, as proposed by Maxwell.
KUAC officials have said that raising ticket prices would be only one way to make up for the loss in fees.
the student sports package would cost $235 after five years, said Pat Warren, assistant director of athletics. It currently costs $100.
Michael Hevel, Waverly junior and committee member, said he thought fees were a way for students to support sports for which they would not necessarily buy tickets.
Aravind Muthukrishnan, Manhattan junior and committee chairman, said that he didn't think cutting the fee would directly hurt the programs but that keeping the sports free might encourage more students
to attend.
"Students want to cut student fees," he said. "They don't want to cut particular fees."
Brian Falb, Dubuque, Iowa, sophomore and committee member, said that as a former college athlete, he didn't think cutting fees would hurt morale. But he said that he did not want to tell a softball player she couldn't play because there wasn't enough money to support her sport.
Haskell to preserve history
"With them, it's more than entertainment," Falb said. "It's something that adds to the experience."
College will build museum, archives
By Kursten Phelps Special to the Kansar
Among the boxes of yellowing papers, books and photos piled in various corners of the Haskell Indian Nations University library lies the key to understanding the history and tradition behind Haskell and the Native-American community.
With the aid of a $50,000 grant from the National Parks Service's "Save our National Treasures" program, Haskell is moving forward with an effort to preserve and centralize its historical documents and research materials. In addition, the university also plans to build a museum and archives center that would serve as a cultural center for Haskell and the community.
"Haskell has such a fascinating history," said Bobbi Rahder, library archivist. "It started out as a boarding school basically for forced assimilation and has become a four-year university for American-Indian students that promotes Indian culture. It's completely reversed its purpose. It's so important to preserve the history of the institution through various programs."
Besides organizing and cataloging archival materials, the library also is using the grant money to put every issue of The Indian Leader, Haskell's student-run newspaper, on microfilm.
Rahder said after the microfilming was finished, the library planned to digitize the issues and put them on the Internet for easy
access. She said this would be particularly useful for alumni, who live across the country and cannot always come back to the campus to find information.
"There's a real continuum at Haskell," she said. "A lot of our students come here because family members — grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles — went here, so our documents, especially the newspaper, often help them learn about their families and heritage."
Haskell's museum plans are possible because of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium, which sponsors a program in which log cabin companies donate logs and roofing materials to tribal colleges to build museums and research centers. Haskell will be responsible for the actual construction of the building and providing materials for finishing the interior.
Groundbreaking for the museum is scheduled for June, and Rahder said Haskell was planning to seek monetary and material donations from the community. Although the project still is in the developmental stage, Rahder said she hoped it would be complete and open to the public in two years.
"It will truly be a cultural center with museum exhibits and a place for researchers to come for access to Haskell," Rahder said. "It will help us achieve our goal of becoming a national center for Indian education and research. It will bring researchers to Haskell to get the story instead of going somewhere else."
Rahder said that in the past, the university did not have the space, staff or resources to maintain an extensive archives collection. As a result, many items and collections were given to the Watkins
Community Museum,' the KU Spencer Research Library, the Kansas State Historical Society and the National Archives branch in Kansas City, Mo. She said she was writing another grant proposal to finance a project that would index and duplicate items at other museums so that the library would have a complete catalog of all historical items related to Haskell.
Rahder is proposing a class for the fall that would deal with archiving historical documents, and she also hopes to bring in a mural expert that would educate the students about restoration and maintenance of the university's murals.
A disaster-training workshop, which would teach how to save the various photographs and pieces of art that are scattered throughout the campus in an emergency, also is planned.
Rahder said that although the improvements in the archives would benefit researchers and community members, the most important people affected were the students.
"It's nice to get other researchers to Haskell, but our primary interest is in helping our students understand the history," she said.
To help with the increased work in the library, the staff has hired extra student workers.
One Haskell student, senior Mila Capes-Altom, said that working with the archives was like digging in a diamond mine.
"I found my grandfather in here," she said, tapping the recently-discovered ledger of all the students in the first five years of Haskell's existence. "I can just see those kids there, scared to death, giving them all this information about themselves, waiting to be stripped and put in non-Native clothing."

McCain victorious in fair fights; open primaries are not to blame
In the wake of John McCain's victory in the Michigan primary, many people in the Republican party were quick to point out the lack of true Republican support for McCain. George W. Bush had captured a large majority of those voters who claimed to be Republican, but lost the primary because of a record influx of Democrat and Independent voters.
This loss calls into question whether open primaries, such as Michigan's, are subject to what Bush called a "hijacking" at the hands of troublesome Democrats.
The problem with the open primary seems to be that one party's members can sabotage another by voting for an unattractive candidate whom they have no intention of voting for in the general election.
Establishment's complaints about non-Republican voters are hypocritical, unweighty
The question then is whether open primaries are to blame.
The Michigan results paint a picture of widespread support for McCain, not widespread dirty tricks by Democrats. While Democrats certainly helped McCain, it is the support of Independent voters, who made up 35 percent of the electorate, that put McCain over the top. With closed primaries, these independents have no choice in the primary system. It is exactly these voters who are crucial to a candidate's win in November.
In the end, the important thing to remember is that Bush is the ultimate establishment candidate. It is the establishment that created open primaries, and it is the establishment that can close them. If the Republican Party doesn't want this kind of primary, it will close them. The fact is, these primaries were originally created to entice so-called "Reagan Democrats" who overwhelmingly supported the last two-term Republican president.
While there is a certain amount of truth to Bush's claims of foul play, there is not enough to complain about. The idea that one can rally much of the electorate to vote for someone it doesn't like — when it's hard to get many people to vote in the first place — is quite far fetched. All's fair in war and politics, and in this battle, score one for McCain.

Castro, Cubans legitimate in resisting U.S. imperialism
Some statements in Rupali Limaye's Feb.22 column were not fact, but instead stereotypes of a country that has not received fair representation in the United States for 40 years.
The blockade against Cuba is not based on human rights violations. It is a political move based on the U.S. attitude of world domination and control because Castro never gave in and instead stood strong and refused to be "one more Latin American leader 'sold out' to imperialism." The United States has gone out of its way to oustacize Cuba from the world with economic and military threats.
Yes, there were the executions of batistasan after the Triumph of the Revolution that were met with criticism. But this was met with outrage by Castro. He stated in 1959, "What was done at Hiroshima and Nagasaki?" In the name of peace, two cities were bombed and more than 300,000 human beings killed. We have shot no child, we have shot no woman, we have shot no old people."
The United States is breaking international law by withholding food and medicine from the Cubans.
Limaye says, "One reason to keep Elian in the U.S. is the lack of protection of rights in Cuba." This is unfair. Cuba is in a state of war against the constant U.S. battling, and, if one does the homework, it's seen that the same measures have been instituted in the United States when a state of war has been declared. The revolution would not have triumphed if the people had not wanted it. Castro is backed in Cuba, and it's the opinion of the Cubans that matters most.
The last thing Cuban independence needs is poorly researched articles such as Limaye's. These articles perpetuate the false conceptions of the Cubans. I was definitely disappointed.

Debates should include candidates of all parties
The criteria for inclusion in the 2000 presidential debates announced Jan. 6 by the Commission on Presidential Debates may unfairly exclude candidates with a serious chance to win.
The commission charged with deciding whether anyone other than the usual Democrats and Republicans would be allowed into the debates is headed by Paul Kirk and Frank Fahrenkopf Jr., the former heads of the Democratic and Republican national committees. Isn't that a bit like letting Roy Williams and Quin Snyder decide who should play in the Big XII Tournament championship game?
strate 15-percent support in polls to be included in the debates, but such a high threshold could lock out someone with a realistic chance for victory. For example, Independent Gov. Jesse Ventura was polling at 10 percent in Minnesota in Sept. 1998, before being invited to the debates. Ventura went on to win in November with 37 percent of the vote. This proves that debates can alter the outcome of an election.
The commission has decreed that a third-party candidate must demon-
That's why the debates commission should offer voters a broad spectrum of legitimate candidates, instead of promoting their own self-interests. What could be more unfair than debate rules that shut out the next potential president?

Broaden your mind: Today's quote
"Political image is like mixing cement. When it's wet, you can move it around and shape it, but at some point it hardens and there's almost nothing you can do to reshake it."

Perspective
Jazz music can reshape views on music, life
"Man, if you gotta ask, you'll never know," Louis Armstrong said once when asked what jazz was. This is also what I told a friend of mine at
an open mic night last week at Hashinger Hall. "I guess I'll never know then," she said.
"I guess I'll never know then," she said.
I paused and re-thought my approach. This was not the message I wanted to get across.
"Well, musically I don't understand any of it," I conceded to my friend who is a violin player in the KU orchestra, and better at reading music than I'll ever be.
PETER HUGHES
"But I think he was talking about the basic feel of it, and that's something anyone can understand."
Luke
Wetzel
columnist
opinion@kansan.co
I shrugged and continued listening to the music, satisfied with my explanation.
My interpretation of Armstrong's words may have been more liberal than a cult leader interpreting scripture, but I think I had a point. Jazz music has an important presence in American culture and is widely respected. But something so universal and energetic should be more than just respected. It should be enjoyed.
found out that Charlie Parker, Kansas City's source of musical pride, hated the city. But by this point, the accuracy of my grade school history lessons didn't matter. Like drummer T.S. Monk told the audience at the Lied Center Feb. 19, "Jazz is a now thing."
Jazz today often only is present in the mainstream as a soundtrack to TV commercials or sampled beats on hip-hop tracks. A lot of people I've talked to say they would like to listen to more jazz, but they wouldn't know where to start. This I understand. On my first trip to buy a jazz CD, I felt like a kindergarten wandering in the wrong hallway. But after a few suggestions from friends, I was able to expand my collection beyond "The Beginner's Guide to Swing."
Growing up in the Kansas City area, I was always taught to view jazz from a chief historical perspective. In grade school, we learned about Charlie Parker, Count Basie and the clubs where they performed. Although it was interesting, jazz seemed like something stuck in the past, the type of music my second-grade teacher put on the record player to demonstrate the Charleston. But after a few of my friends played some of their jazz CDs for me my freshman year of high school, I really got in to it.
When I read Miles Davis' autobiography.
Once I decided that I wanted more out of music than what 311 and Metallica had to offer, jazz reshaped my views about not only music, but life as well. Jazz can be wild and brash as well as cool, and like all music involving improvisation, good jazz musicians can convey this energy to their audiences. Jazz mirrors the complexities of life while drawing on the spontaneity necessary to fully enjoy it.
I was fortunate enough to have taken Professor Dick Wright's Introduction to Jazz class before he passed away in November. The class has since been retired, but there are many other options to either learn about or hear jazz on campus. The jazz festival at the Lied Center this weekend is a good example. Otherwise, I recommend listening to something by John Coltrane in the morning or putting on a Miles Davis album late at night.
Jazz music might not be for everyone. No kind of music is. But if you're interested in jazz, I encourage you to view it not as intimidating, but as an enlightening and satisfying art form — an important dialect in the universal language of music.

Political pundits promote frivolity, lack clear focus
Every Sunday many of us are treated to a smattering of talk shows featuring prominent senior columnists such as George Will, John McLaughlin, Robert Novak and Cokie Roberts.
These senior journalists, a.k.a. the "punditocracy," are excellent at creating media frenzies about distorted issues as they all relentlessly repeat the same fetid mantras — free market, national interests, insiders and outsiders
ests, misters and outsiders — with the same mindless repetition.
Programs such as Meet the Press and Crossfire arose out of government licensing regulations that required networks and local stations to devote a certain number of hours each week to "public service" programming.
Acting in good faith, the government was operating under the guiding principles of deliberative democracy, which stipulate rational discourse and public deliberation as a necessary condition

to maintain and secure a viable democracy. What they failed to realize, of course, are the limitations of public discourse inherent in the television medium.
"It is the nature of the medium that it must suppress the content of ideas in order to accommodate the requirements of visual interest; that is to say, to accommodate the values of show business," he writes in his 1985 book, Amusing Ourselves to Death.
Sociologist Neil Postman, taking a cue from media critic Marshall McLuhan, has argued that the medium of television has conditioned us to tolerate visually entertaining material measured out in spoonfuls of time, to the detriment of rational public discourse and reasoned public affairs.
Reasoned public affairs of course can have recourse to television, and the zealots of the punditocracy have not always eschewed the guiding principles of rational thought. But the conundrum of tele-discourse usually resolves itself at the expense of public debate.
Dominating other journalistic media through its greater power and market share, television imposes its distorted, entertainment-based vision of the world by demanding a certain kind of content — namely, a theater of the absurd.
What does this mean for "public service" television? Can public discourse as a driving force of democracy survive its commodification and trivialization as something akin to a steamy soap opera?
As a result, tabloid values are vaulted to the forefront of journalistic media, altering the fundamental structure of public discourse. This structured social space, constituted by entertainment values, thus defines the basic perceptual habits that determine what journalists see as newsworthy.
4. Divination: This is paramount. To give predictions on next week's political happenings is a critical aspect of the profession, despite your lack of knowledge on the subject of discussion. Rule of thumb: The less you know about something, the better off you are.
3. Overstatement: This can't be stressed enough, because, after all, talk shows cultivate hyperbole and polarization. Remember, being noticed depends on making preposterous claims that have absolutely no basis in reality.
Let's face it: Talk is cheap.
Embry is a Kansas City, Mo., graduate student in journalism.
This habitual way of seeing results is a form of unconscious censorship that, in turn, poses a higher level of burden on journalists who want their stories and views to be socially productive. This is precisely why pundits have reduced politics to a spectator sport and political journalism to theater criticism.
1. Competitive glibness (a phrase coined by journalist James Fallows). It is better to make glib, irrelevant comments than to drone on about substantive policy issues that actually affect people's lives.
Instead of discussing substantive social issues or political ideologies, pundits prefer to ruminate on the astute fashion choices of Al Gore or the sexual pecadilloes of Newt Gingrich. In a clause, pundits are entertainers who have sacrificed public discourse at the altar of profits and info-tainment.
2. Predictability: Mindless repetition and posturing is essential. People tune in to see familiar faces displaying familiar personality traits. If a liberal, always a liberal, and vice versa.
Indeed, pundits are a polytheistic sect spreading the gospel of neo-liberalism; that capitalism equals democracy; that the "free-market" system is both objective necessity and the democratic expression of free will; that competition promotes diversity; and that any resistance to the prevailing Western model of scientific rationalism must be irrationalist fundamentalism.
According to the gospel of the pundit, these are the four steps between heaven and hell. To be ordained into the pundit priesthood is not as easy as it sounds, though. After all, as entertainers teach us every day, presentation is everything. As a dedicated civil servant, to help out those who are interested in pursuing a career in punditocracy, I have devised a list of necessary attributes required of the aspiring pundit:
How to submit letters and guest columns
Letters: Should be double-spaced typed and fewer than 200 words. Letters must include the author's signature, name, address and telephone number plus class and hometown if a University student. Faculty or staff must identify their positions.

Chamber orchestra to perform at Lied
By Cassie Holman
Special to the Kansan
The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra featuring pianist Andre Watts will perform at 8 tonight at the Lied Center.
The performance, led by music director Hugh Wolff, will include the composition "Sunset Strip," written by Michael Daugherty exclusively for the orchestra. The orchestra also will perform Beethoven's "Concerto No. 1 in C for Piano," "Opus 15." "Symphony No. 1 in C" and "Opus 21."
Founded in 1959, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra is in its 41st season. With 32 full-time musicians, it is the nation's only full-time professional chamber orchestra. The group performs internationally with pieces ranging in age from the Baroque period to the present day.
"I've heard hundreds of times on recordings and radio broadcasts, and they are wonderful," said Robert Foster, director of bands.
Performing more than 150 concerts during the 38-week season, the chamber orchestra has been broadcast on more than 100 national radio programs. The group has released nearly 60 albums and has received the award for adventuresome programming of contemporary music numerous times from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
"This is a very well-rehearsed, highly articulate professional group," said Brian Priestman, KU orchestra director. "It would be a wonderful experience for someone who is looking to enjoy their music."
Watts, who joins the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra for tonight's performance, entered the music world at age 16. He was chosen by the New York Philharmonic to play in the nationally broadcast Young People's Concert.
Watts has performed with many orchestras, including the Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston and National Symphony Orchestras, as well as the Berlin Radio Symphony, the Hong Kong Philharmonic and the Tokyo Symphony.
He also has made television guest appearances. His appearances on PBS's Live from Lincoln Center resulted in the 1985 airing of the first full-length piano recital in prime-time television history.
"We don't get this kind of performer with this kind of an orchestra in Lawrence very often." Priestman said.
In addition to performing benefit concerts for a variety of causes, Watts has taken a leadership role in his involvement with Classical Action: Performing Arts Against AIDS. The organization raises funds to benefit AIDS service, education and prevention programs nationwide.
Tickets still are available for tonight's performance. Student prices are $19 and $16, depending on the seats.

Club offers help to prejournalism students
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Help is out there for prejournalism students who are looking for guidance before they enter the School of Journalism.
A group of about eight University of Kansas students is creating a prejournalism club, which is designed to help new students weave through the curriculum of the school while preparing them for the future.
"We're trying to help out new students network in the journalism school so they know some professors and what classes to
take," said Kelsi White, Easton, Mass., freshman and prejournalism club pioneer. "We're setting up the framework and organizing it now."
Jonathan Ng, Leawood freshman, said that he and some of the other core members pitched the idea for the club to two journalism classes and got an overwhelming response — 104 students signed up as interested, and 30 showed up at the first meeting.
Ng will be the president of the future club. He said that although the group met every other Tuesday, it still was in the beginning
stages.
"Right now it is a lot of organization." Ng said. "Our focus is getting more members to forge out how we want to recruit and represent the j-school."
Manny Lopez, recruitment coordinator for the School of Journalism and advisor to the prejournalism club, said the main goals of the club were advising and creating a common ground for the new students.
"The most important reason for the group is to make the prejournalism students feel a part of the journalism school before they get in," Lopez said. "And to help undecided students decide on what aspect of journal-
Ng agreed but said the club would do much more than unite students.
"Hopefully it will take off and fill a void where classes leave off," Ng said. "It is a supplement to the classes and will hopefully make the transition into the j-school easier."
Although the club is designed to help pre-journalism students, Ng said that being in the School of Journalism did not disqualify someone from being involved. He said valuable advice could be given by those who already had been through the system.
The prejournalism club will meet at 4 p.m. today at the second floor in Lewis Hall.
United States, China meet to rebuild military ties
The Associated Press
BEIJING — With China raising threat to attack rival Taiwan, the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific met senior Chinese military leaders yesterday in hopes of keeping channels open between the two militaries.
Adm. Dennis Blair's five-day visit to China comes less than three weeks before Taiwan's presidential election. Although Washington and Beijing are anxious to avoid a confrontation, China wants to put pressure on the three leading Taiwanese presidential candidates, none of whom support union on China's terms.
Blair expressed concern to Chinese military leaders today about Beijing's new threats to attack Taiwan. Beijing issued a position paper a week ago, saying for the first time that it might attack the island if Taiwan indefinitely puts off negotiations on unification. China regards Taiwan as a renegade province.
In a meeting yesterday, Blair and Lt. Gen. Xiong Guangkai, a deputy chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army "had a wide exchange of views on international and regional security," China's state-run Xinhua News Agency said.
Taiwan policy. Blair also met Shi Yunsheng, commander in chief of China's naval forces, Xinhua said.
While neither side provided details of the meetings, a U.S. official said Beijing appeared keen to reopen military ties that it severed in May, after U.S. airplanes hit China's embassy in Yugoslavia.
Xiong is a key voice in making China's
"It was a chance for everyone to get to know each other," the official said on condition of anonymity. "The atmosphere was very cordial. I think the Chinese want to succeed in re-establishing a military-to-military relationship."
Taiwan was discussed, along with the other
Asian security concerns, and the "U.S. expressed its concern about the white paper" that contained China's latest threat to attack Taiwan, the official said.
Blair was due to hold more talks in Beijing today, and then to head to the eastern city of Nanjing, headquarters for the regional military command that would form the bulk of any Chinese attack on Taiwan.
The timing of Blair's visit was important. Four years ago, in an attempt to influence Taiwan's first direct presidential elections, China test fired missiles near Taiwan. The United States sent warships in response, raising tensions to their highest level in decades.

Austrian party leader steps down
Foreign criticism factor in decision
The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria — Joerg Haider, whose anti-foreigner statements and past praise of aspects of the Nazi regime brought international condemnation on Austria's new government, resigned yesterday as head of the far-right Freedom Party, party officials said.
The officials said Haider made the announcement at a closed-door meeting of the group's national leadership at a downtown hotel. The officials, who asked not to be identified, said a formal announcement would be made at a news conference later
in the evening.
Haider, who holds no post in the national government, is to stay on as governor of Carinthia province. The move was seen as an attempt to reduce international criticism of the new coalition government between Haider's rightists and the center-right Austrian People's Party.
The Austria Press Agency quoted party sources as saying Haider will be succeeded as party chief by his trusted lieutenant, Vice Chancellor Susanne Riess-Passer. 39.
APA said Haider told the party leadership meeting that he was stepping down because he did not want to stand in the way of the work of the new government.
The 14 other European Union
members have downgraded relations with Austria because of the presence of Haider's party in the government, which took office Feb. 4. The outrage was based on Haider's anti-immigrant stand and his past praise of veterans of the murderous Waffen SS and Adolf Hitler's "orderly" employment policies.
Some Austrian politicians and commentators doubted that the resignation signaled the end of Haider's influence on the national government. Ries-Passer and others in the Freedom Party leadership have long-established reputations as Haider disciples who owe their political positions to him.
The newly elected head of the opposition Social Democratic party, Alfred Gusenbauer, said the resignation was simply one
of Haider's many tactical tricks and would give the coalition a respite from criticism.
Thomas Prinzhorn, the Freedom Party's candidate for chancellor in the Oct. 3 parliamentary election, said Haider's resignation did not signal his withdrawal from national politics and that the controversial Carinthia governor would remain the top man of the party.
However, Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said Haider's decision was the first sign of a breath of fresh air since Haider's party finished second in the parliamentary elections, which paved the way for the party to join the ruling coalition.
Hier said the international criticism was pivotal in forcing Haider to step down.
Tijuana police chief murdered in vehicle
The Associated Press.
TIJUANA, Mexico — In this violent border town where killings occur daily, Tijuana police tried to resolve one more case yesterday: the death of their popular police chief, whose car was riddled with bullets on a busy highway.
Investigators hope a gray Cherokee sports utility vehicle with California license plates can offer more clues in Sunday's killing of Alfredo de la Torre Marquez. Three bullet shells were found in the vehicle, suggesting this could have been the vehicle used by the attackers, said state Attorney General Juan Manuel Salazar.
The Cherokee was believed to be one of three vehicles used in the attack on a busy, six-lane divided highway in the northern edge of Tijuana, just across the border from San Diego.
De la Torre was driving to his office and was unaccompanied by his normal contingent of bodyguards when gunmen using Kalashnikov rifles and 9 mm pistols pulled up alongside his black Suburban and fired 99 rounds at him, officials said. The vehicle crashed into a palm tree on the side of the road.
Salazar said De la Torre had told his bodyguards that he had planned to stay home all day. It was not clear why he decided to go to his
"A person who does his job well goes against the interests of the bad guys."

police forensics supervisor in Tijuana
office. De la Torre was carrying a pistol but didn't use it.
No one has been arrested, and the motive for the killing was unknown. Seventy witnesses and potential suspects were interviewed Sunday, but police had no suspects, Salazar said. Enrique Tellaeache, representative for the Baja California state Attorney General's Office, said the killing obviously was linked to organized crime, but that it was too early to tell whether it was connected to the Tijuana-based drug organization led by the Arrellano-Felix brothers, notorious for its gangland-style hits.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration considers the organization one of the most powerful and violent drug-trafficking groups. One of the brothers, Ramon Eduardo, is on the FBI's 10 most-wanted list.
De la Torre had been a police officer for 25 years, working his way up from motorcycle cop, and may have made many enemies.
"The only motive for the killing is his job," said Jaime Valencia, a police forensics supervisor who, like all his colleagues, wore a black band over his badge. "A person who does his job well goes against the interests of the bad guys."
He said de la Torre was loved by his fellow officers.
Baja California is one of Mexico's most violent states, and Tijuana is one of its most violent cities. It recorded about 300 murders last year, and the pace of killings has picked up this year.
De la Torre is the second Tijuana police chief killed in six years. In April 1994, Federico Benitez and a bodyguard were shot to death when gunmen fired on their vehicle as it drove down a highway near the city's airport.
In a speech while visiting the state Friday, President Ernesto Zedillo pledged to have federal and state officials improve cooperation.
"Organized crime has brought to Baja California a trail of violence, a trail of intimidation," he said. "We have to make these criminals understand that Baja California can't be their home, that the only places where they deserve to live are in prisons."
Volcano sends people fleeing from homes
The Associated Press
LEGAZI, Philippines — Mayon volcano erupted again yesterday, sending blackish ash and glowing red hot rocks high into the sky and many residents fleeing to safety in nearby villages, officials said.
There were no immediate reports of casualties in the latest explosion of the roughly 8,100-foot volcano, which began erupting Thursday in Alba province, about 215 miles southeast of Manila.
"In the current eruption period of Mayon, this has been the biggest so far," said Ernesto Corpuz of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. "People should not venture back into the prescribed danger zones."
The volcano belched a column of ash and molten rocks up to four miles high, followed by lightning and continuous rumblings, Corpuz said. Mayon also emitted pyroclastic flows — superheated clouds of volcanic ash that travel up to 50 mph and can instantly incinerate anything in their path.
In Mabinit village, scores of men, women and children ran for their lives, carrying cooking pans, clothes and other belongings after seeing molten rocks and ash hurting down Mayon's slope, said news photographer Nelson Salting.
More than 47,000 people were evacuated from nearby villages, but some have returned in recent days to check their houses and farms despite warnings by officials.
The repeated explosions indicated that magma still is rising to the dome, and volcanic activity could continue between two weeks to a month, officials said.
The volcano has been showing signs of unrest since last June but had not caused injuries. An explosion in September forced more than 5,700 people to flee their homes.
Mayon's most violent eruption, on Feb. 1, 1814, killed more than 1,200 people and buried an entire town in volcanic mud flows.

McCain, Bush focus on religious issues
The Associated Press
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — The day before Virginia's GOP primary, John McCain accused some in his party of pandering to Christian-right leaders. The biting remarks were designed to appeal to moderates voting in three states today, as well as in crucial contests next week.
His rival for the presidential nomination, George W. Bush, said McCain was trying to divide the party along religious lines.
McCain said, "I am a Reagan Republican who will defeat Al Gore. Unfortunately, George Bush is a Pat Robertson Republican who will lose to Al Gore."
Virginia Beach is headquarters for Robertson's Christian Coalition.
After discussing education with teachers in Bellevue, Wash. Bush
said he was the candidate who wanted to stick to issues while McCain wanted to divide people into camps.
"Ronald Reagan didn't point fingers." Bush said. "He never played to people's religious fears like Sen. McCain has shamelessly done."
The GOP race has focused on religious issues in recent days, with Bush expressing his regrets on Sunday to
THE DEPUTY GOVERNOR
McCain: Accused some of pandering to Christian-right leaders
Catholic leaders for a visit to Bob Jones University, a South Carolina
school accused of religious bigotry.
My co-worker did not punish me for
Bush criticized McCain for his campaign's telephone calls to Catholic voters to tell them about Bush's visit to the university. McCain representative Dan McLagan said calls such as those made before Michigan's primary also were being made in Washington state.
Aides described McCain's speech yesterday as a call to the grass roots of the party. While McCain met with reporters to make it clear his remarks were aimed not at conservative voters but at a handful of political players — he specifically criticized Robertson and Jerry Falwell. The tone of his speech sent a shock through the party.
McCain said he had been consider ing such a speech since a hard-hitting campaign in South Carolina
2000 Race for President
where he complained he was unfairly attacked. Aides said both Falwell and Robertson had criticized McCain and supporters in public statements.
"Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right," McCain said in his speech.
Coalition, which Robertson founded, called McCain's remarks "a transparent effort to divide one American from another on the basis of religion" and predicted the group's conservative message would draw record numbers of voters to the polls. There was no immediate response from Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority.
McCain said he wanted to make it clear to Christian voters that he had a conservative record on social issues and they could feel comfortable backing him, despite leaders of the movement who had called him unacceptable.
Accompanying McCain was former rival Gary Bauer, highly regarded among religious conservatives.
"If this were an attack on Christian conservative voters, I wouldn't be here," Bauer said.
Albright shuns native country
Albright rejects Czech candidacy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said she was flattered by suggestions she seek the presidency of her native Czech Republic, but her spokesman said she had dismissed it without serious consideration.
Some Czechs are speaking of her as a possible successor to President Vaclav Havel, who must retire in 2002. Havel, a playwright-turned-politician, helped lead the "Velvet Revolution" that in 1989 persuaded communist rulers to resign, and he also has raised Albright's name.
But State Department spokesman James P. Rubin sought to dampen the speculation Sundav.
"From time to time, senior Czech officials have approached the secretary about this possibility," he said. "She has dismissed it, although she is certainly flattered that Czechs would consider her for the post of president of her native land. She has never given this any serious consideration."
Albright, 62, plans to be in the Czech Republic on March 5-8. The visit coincides with the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of national hero Tomas Masaryk, who served as the first president of the Czechoslovak Republic after the collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918.
Havel's chief policy adviser, Pavel Fischer, told Time magazine it was not impossible that Havel and Albright would discuss the presidency during the visit.
Albright was born Marie Korbelova in Prague in 1937. Her father was a Czech diplomat who took his family to London as Germany took over their homeland at the start of World War II. The
family then moved to Denver in 1948 rather than serve under a communist Czechoslovak government.
Havel first brought up the presidency idea in 1998. After returning to Prague from an official visit to the United States, he expressed regret that he hadn't asked whether she would be available to succeed him.

Constitution bars Albright or any other foreignborn citizen from the American presidency, but there appears to be no legal bar to keep an American citizen from assuming the presidency of another country.

Leap Day shouldn't cause major computer glitches
The Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. — When Y2K was the worry of the day, dozens of city-dwellers moved to the Blue Ridge Mountain community of Floyd County, Va., to stock up, bunker down and wait it out.
But because 2000 dawned without major computer glitches, the approach of Leap Day didn't cause much concern — even here.
No one was stocking up for Feb. 29 at the Floyd Country Store on Friday, and worry was running low at the hardware store, too.
"A couple of people came in discussing it," said David Thompson, a hardware store employee. "There was one scare and everybody realized there wasn't nothing to that one, so I think they're letting it all pass."
yesterday that computers at six local observatories failed to correctly recognize Feb. 29. The agency expects they will be fixed later in the day.
Computers have long had trouble registering Feb. 29 — treating it as March 1, or March 1 as Feb. 30. There are greater risks of programming errors this year because 2000 is an exception to an exception. An extra day is added every four years, except for years that end in "00" unless divisible by 400. So 2000 is a leap year, but 1900 is not.
Any glitches tied to Leap Day likely will be minor. In Japan, the Meteorological Agency reported
The Feb. 29 problem is different from Y2K, which stemmed from a programming shortcut of using only two digits for a year. Left uncorrected, the Y2K bug could have fouled computers that control power grids, air traffic and phone networks. The leap year problem could simply throw off computer's calendars by a day.

Students skip checkups
Stress triggers dental problems
By Warisa Chulindra
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
Tom Liu, Liberal senior, hasn't been to the dentist for five years.
"I have so many others things to worry about," he said. "It doesn't seem as important, and I've never had a cavity. I think I'd notice if I did."
For some University of Kansas students, visits to the dentist taper off when they go to college. Others get checkups when they're home for breaks. Often, their parents schedule the appointments.
Before she returned this semester, Candace Krieger-Jones, Buhler sophomore, went to the dentist for the first time since coming to the University.
"My mom makes the appointments," she said. "If it was up to me, I'd probably never go. The noises at the dentist kind of scare me."
The American Dental Association recommends dental check ups every six months. Paul Herrera, a dentist at the Lawrence Dental Center, 647
Country Club Terrace, said if students couldn't see the dentist every six months, they should go at least once a year.
He said some people did not visit the dentist for several years and needed little dental work. However, that applies to few people, Herrera said.
Susan Hall, a dentist at Associates in Dentistry, 306 E. 23rd St., said she saw more students during finals and other times when students were stressed. She said they usually had root canals or were found to have Acute, Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis, an early form of periodontal disease.
Stress tends to trigger dental problems. Hall said.
"It could be not getting enough sleep and not flossing and not brushing," she said. "The bacteria builds up."
Hall said it was important for students to make regular dental checkups a priority, otherwise they would have to deal with dental problems at a more stressful time.
Both dentists said they would not recommend mints or Altoids as a substitute for brushing because of the sugar content.
"Breath fresheners are like perfume," Hall said. "It covers up the bad smell, but it's still there. It feeds the bacteria with sugar, which causes it
However, chewing sugarless gum after meals is beneficial, neutralizing the acids produced by plaque. Herrera said.
to spread and multiply."
At the Kansas Union candy counter, a variety of mints and gum, including sugar-free mints and sugar-free gum, are sold.
John Orzulak, an employee at the candy counter and Lawrence freshman, said that more gum was sold than mints. He said it was difficult to monitor how many packages were sold because employees constantly refülled the items, but that gum and mints were not the most popular
the items, but that gum and mints were not the most popular items bought at the candy counter.
Consula Sanchez, Topeka sophmore, prefers brushing to mints or gum. She said after she got a cavity five years ago, she became more steadfast about brushing. She carries a toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste in her book bag. When she is on campus, she brushes her teeth in the restrooms.
"Sometimes people are annoyed because I block the mirror," she said. "Occasionally, some people will tell me, 'you're so good.'"

Food poisoning possible culprit in serious flu-like symptoms
By Warisa Chulindra writer@kansan.com
Kansas stoff writer
But it could lead to vomiting or diarrhea.
It could be in your food, only you can't taste, see or smell it.
Bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites can contaminate food and cause illnesses, said Susan Krumm, an agent with K-State Research Extension-Douglas County.
"A lot of times people think they have the flu," she said. "The symptoms are similar."
People usually do not report
food-borne illnesses, said Elaine Houston, public health nurse at the Douglas County Health Department.
Diarrhea and nausea, two of the most common symptoms, usually go away after 24 to 48 hours, she said. However, food-borne illnesses can cause more severe problems in the elderly and children.
For most food poisoning cases, rest and drinking plenty of fluids is the best treatment, Houston said. More severe cases require medication based on the cause of the food poisoning.
When food is cooked improperly
or if vegetables or raw foods are not washed adequately, they may become contaminated. Food-borne illnesses also are linked to improper hand washing.
Houston advised people to wash their hands with soap for 20 seconds before cooking, eating or after using the restroom.
When preparing food, cooked food should remain separated from raw food, Houston said. People should use separate cutting boards and platters for cooked food and raw food. Often when people barbecue, they will put the cooked food back on the same plate
where germs remain. she said.
Also, keeping cold foods cold and hot foods hot is important, Krumm said. When food is between 41 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, it runs the risk of food-borne illnesses.
Food-borne illnesses are more of a problem at large gatherings when food is left out longer than it should before being refrigerator, Houston said.
A common way people may get food-borne illnesses is by sampling uncooked cookie dough.
A few years ago, Anna Smith,
Hutchinson sophomore, was up all
night throwing up after eating
cookie dough. By morning, she had thrown up 15 times.
"It really hard to resist," Smith said. "I think it was chocolate chip, which was the worst, in terms of temptation."
Smith said her experience had not stopped her from eating uncooked cookie dough, though she is cautious how much she consumes.
Krumm did not recommend eating uncooked cookie dough, but she said frozen cookie dough that used pasteurized eggs could be eaten without the chance of foodborne illnesses.

TOAST
'Hawks lose, 68-54
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
AUSTIN, Texas — Falling behind by 16 points midway through the first half wasn't the prettiest of sights for the Jayhawks last night at the Erwin Center.
And witnessing a Texas dunk fest first hand was even more ugly. But the most ghastly sight? A stat sheet filled with dubious firsts.
The Jayhawks' six first-half field goals was their fewest in any half in Roy Williams' coaching era, and their first-half field goal percentage — 20.7 — was their lowest in any half in Williams' era. Both factored immensely during Kansas' 68-54 loss to the No. 16 Texas Longhorns.
The No. 23 Jayhawks, 21-8,
10-5 in the Big 12, would
rather forget their lackluster
play in the first half.
They found themselves in a
14-2 hole early on after a 12-0
Texas run. By the time the
first half was over, Kansas
had set its horrid shooting
records and found itself
down, 38-21.
Most of those dunks came via Texas senior forward Gabe Muoneke, who put on a skywalking routine during his last home game at the Erwin Center. Muoneke scored 16 points on six-fornie shooting, including several vicious one-handed and two-handed jams.
"I think the thing that hurt us the most was our hustle," said Kansas guard Kenny Gregory, who finished the night with eight points. "It's not a matter that they scored, it's a matter of how they scored. They were getting a lot of breakaway dunks."
But Muoneke's ability to
defy gravity didn't stop the Jayhawks from making things interesting in the second half. Kansas started the half with a Kirk Hinrich bucket after Texas center Chris Mihm was called for a goal tend. The Jayhawks then pulled within 12 points at the first television timeout of the final period, after Eric Chenowith helped the Jayhawk cause with two buckets and a free-throw.
The Jayhawks kept battling and were as close as 57-47 with five minutes remaining but were never able to get it under ten.
"It was a tough game," Hinrich said, who scored 11 points and was the only Kansas player in double-figures. "I don't know what to say about the first half, but in the second half we battled. I wish we could have come out in the first half like we did in the second."
Coming into the game, the story line centered around Mihm, the All-America candidate. But the Jayhawks did their best at shutting down the 7-footer, limiting him to nine points — nine below his season average.
This was the secondstraight time the Jayhawks had been blasted on the road in front of a national television audience on a Monday night. Three weeks ago, Kansas suffered its thirdworst loss in school history after a 33-point drubbing at Oklahoma State.
Last night, the point total wasn't as absurd, but the Jayhawks felt just as battered and bruised.
"This is definitely a slight bump, but you just can't take a loss and say, 'oh well,'" Gregory said. "It's going to be on our minds for a few days."

Jayhawk women hope to bounce back

Kansan sportswriter
At this point in the season, the Kansas women can't afford to concern themselves with officiating.
After getting blown out 88-69 at No. 24 Oklahoma on Saturday, junior forward Jaclyn Johnson said that the Sooners had limited her team's ability to move on offense and get in defensive position.
"I guess I'm usually expecting for the refs to call that, but tonight it was different and we didn't adjust," Johnson said.
Johnson shakes have one regular season game remaining — tomorrow night at Allen Fieldhouse against Texas A&M — to adjust and bounce back before the Big 12 Conference tournament starts next week.
Coach Marian Washington has said that Kansas did not have a
problem with physical play; it could be as physical as it wanted. But she said it was challenging for her team to identify what would be called and how to alter its game to avoid fouling out.
"My team has got to find a way to adjust to it," Washington said. "We have to find a way to accept it."
And it better accept that fact quickly. The Jayhawks, who have dropped two straight games for the first time this season and have lost three of their last five games, are in need of a victory against the Aggies to secure a first-round bye in the Big 12 Conference tournament.
"We just need to shore up what we've been working so hard on all season long and get it back in place." Washington said.
Despite the Jayhawks' recent slide, Washington remains optimistic that if the NCAA tournament
selection committee recognizes the Big 12's strength — it currently has three ranked teams and two others receiving votes — her team will be in position to make a run in post-season play.
Women's basketball notes
Junior guard Casey Pruitt, who has had four knee surgeries during her four years at Kansas, will not return for her senior season, Washington said. Pruitt, who was a redshirt her freshman year because of an anterior cruciate ligament tear, will graduate this May with a degree in sports management and will seek an internship next year.
"I think that they would be ready to rise to the challenge," she said. "We've got two games, Texas A&M and at least one game in the Big 12 tournament, to get back on track, and I hope that something positive will come out of those games."
"Casey has been very special to our program," Washington said. "She has shown a lot of courage over the last four years."
Kansas senior forward Lynn Pride has been selected as one of 15 finalists for the Naismith Female Collegiate Player of the Year award.
"I am excited for Lynn." Washington said. "I have watched her develop in the last four years, and there is no question in my mind she is one of the elite players in the country."

For the Kansas baseball team, three is an unlucky number.
The Jayhawks lost three games to Creighton last weekend, three key players because of injuries in sophomore Jason Appuhn, junior Brandon O'Neal and sophomore Matt Van Alsburg, and the 'Hawks have struck out three more times than their opponents — 81 to 78.

Sportsmanship should be key in intramurals
Another intramural basketball game was reduced to blows.
The two men locked their arms around each other, transforming the intramural basketball game into a wrestling match. The short, stocky blond cocked his arm in an attempt to hit his opponent's face. His opponent responded by hurling the ball at his attacker's genitals. The referee, Luke Bell, Medicine Lodge freshman, blew his whistle and ejected the man who threw the punch.
Bell said the sportsmanship was horrible. Players commonly argue with officials' calls and talk trash to each other. Referees try to control the behavior by using verbal warnings, calling fouls, and in extreme cases, ejecting a player. An ejection results in an unacceptable rating, which disqualifies a team from playing until it has met with Jason Krone, assistant for recreation services.
Incidents such as this prompted recreation services officials to lay down floor mats imprinted with messages such as "Integrity — the right choice" at the Robinson Gym entrances at the start of the basketball season. The mats, along with banners near the scoreboards, are an effort by recreation services officials to increase awareness of sportsmanship. These efforts are a start, but much more needs to be done.
The incidents of outrageous behavior are rare, but that does not mean students always demonstrate good sportsmanship. Krone said seven teams out of 230 had received unacceptable ratings in about 300 basketball games this season.
It is not just men who have been ejected from games. Last year, intramural referee Tyson Kelly, Kansas City, Kan., junior, ejected a woman from a game for slapping another woman. He said games between members of two sororities were especially fierce.
Many factors propel the crude behavior in intramurals. Many players are reliving their high school glory days by playing intramurals. Some players lose sight of the fact that this is just intramurals — not the state championship. Some Jayhawk fans, many of whom participate in intramural games, can't differentiate between an intramurial game and an intercollegiate game. While intensity and competitiveness are encouraged, taking them to the point of yelling at teammates and officials in a game is ridiculous.
If the stakes were lowered, Yetman said an intramural game could more closely align itself to the intensity of a pick up game — a contest where participants seldom remember if they won or lost. Recreation officials are trying to lower the stakes in Jupiter, Fla., where the parents of little league participants must watch a video on sportsmanship before their children are allowed to play.
Now intramural officials provide an incentive for teams with exemplary sportmanship to win free entry into another intramural sport. Krone said that though three teams could win this award, only one or two teams deserved it.
Kansas sociology professor Norman Yetman, who studies sociology in sports, said intramurals could pro-
ing groups such as fraternities. The more recognition involved, the more serious individuals will become to win. He said that especially for males, it was more than just scoring a basket on someone; it was about physically dominating another person.
vide a reward beyond the sheer joy of playing a sport, especially for ivory-wielding players.
4
While putting up banners, setting out inspirational floor mats and providing monetary awards for sportsmanship are positive steps, they aren't enough. Having all players watch a video on sportsmanship would bring the message to the forefront. These are not high-stakes games; they are intramurals. The least players can do is treat other players and officials with respect.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
Your friends keep you headed in the right direction. Heed their advice in March if you're confused. There's not enough money to do it all in April. Advice is easy to come by in May, but skill still takes practice. Work is required to make progress in August, but a lucky break could help increase your income around December. Schedule a visit with friends for January and finish loose odds and ends next February.
Aries: Today is a 4.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
You may find another opportunity soon. Unfortunately, it looks more like a problem. You have to wait. Don't push and try not to get upset. Don't let on how angry you are. Keep looking around for the lesson you're supposed to be learning instead.
The Capricorn moon is merrily shining down on you right now. Your experience could help you avoid a difficult situation today. Your friend isn't quite so lucky. Offer assistance if you can, but meanwhile, cover your own best interests.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You could be undergoing some financial stress. Look for ways to save money. You have to spend some, too, which doesn't help. Keep shopping for the best possible price. And don't feel like you have to bail out a friend. He or she will manage.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
You might be able to delegate some of your responsibilities and give yourself a break. You've been dealing with some rather stressful situations, and you've earned as much relaxation as you can manage. Be gentle with a sensitive person, too.
Leo; Today is a 6.
You're still in the mood to play, and there's simply not time for that any more. If you want to stay out of trouble and in line for that big promotion, look sharp. Don't make anybody else have to look for you to get the job done!
Virgo: Today is a 7.
Libra: Today is a 5.
You have a grand trime in earth signs today. That's good. It helps you be even more competent than you already are. There is something that won't go right, but that's OK. You will most likely prevail, no matter what happens.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Your work should be a little bit easier today, especially if you work out of your home. There may be a bit of a conflict with a partner, mate or perhaps your attorney. The other person wants to do something that you think is a big waste of time. Compromise.
Saaittarius: Today is a 6.
You learn best by doing. If you do that now, you'll be amazed at how quickly your skill level improves. Your job may kind of get in the way, but don't let that stop you. It's quite possible there's a better job, doing something you love, just around the corner.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Money, business, work and you — those are all linked together right now. There's no shortage of money out there, and they're printing more of it all the time. The challenge is to get it into your pocket. Well, it looks like you can if you're willing to go. For it.
There could be a bit of excitement at your house later. Be careful around sharp objects and make sure others do the same. Sharp tongues count, too. Schedule a confrontation for another time. It'll be hard to find a compromise now.
Aquarius: Today is a 4.
You have a few deadlines to make, so get busy. If you can push yourself, you could bring in a little extra money. That would certainly be comforting, wouldn't it? Finish up something that's only partially complete, and that will help you feel better, too.
Pisces: Today is a 7.

LION
You may suddenly realize you have a whole team on your side. You're not in this alone. That's the good news. The bad news is there's not enough money to do everything you want. Don't go into debt to bail them out. You can generate more if you all work together.

Kansas, 8-4, will try to improve its swings today when it faces Baker, 0-4, at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark. The 'Hawks lead the all-time series, 46-5, but split the series 1-1 last season.
Along with a varied lineup because of injuries, Randall said he would also use a plethora of pitchers in today's contest.
"During these mid-week games, we pitch a lot of guys," he said. "It's going to be a pitching buffet. Depending on the game, we're going to use some of the younger pitchers so they can get some experience under their belt."
Senior Ryan Schmidt, 2-0, is set to start, but Jim Caine, Sam Gish, Eric Thompson and Jeff Davis may pitch too.

"A lot of guys are itching to get out there because not so many guys have pitched this season," Randall said. "They've all pitched so well that we don't need to take them out. From a pitching standpoint, we've been in good shape. We just need to find our offense."
Baseball Notes:
■ Designated hitter and first baseman senior Shane Wedd is riding a seven-game hitting streak, a career high for the Lawrence native. Wedd, who had three hits in the Creighton series, hit .333 in five games last week, including one grand slam against Texas A&M-Corpus
Christi.
- Pitcher and infielder Brandon O'Neal is likely to return to action during the second week of March when the 'Hawks play Texas. Randall said outfielder Jason Appuhn is likely for this weekend's games against Iowa State.

Strawberry's future questionable after suspension
The Associated Press.
TAMPA, Fla. — A third strike for cocaine landed Darryl Strawberry a one-year suspension yesterday and left the New York Yankees and most of baseball wondering if he would ever play again Commissioner Bud Selig imposed the penalty and did not make any provision for the troubled slugger, who turns 38 years old next month, to return early for good behavior.
"This was a very difficult and painful decision for me to make," Selig said. "The meeting I had with Darryl and his wife, Charisse, last Tuesday was an emotional experience for all of us. I had no doubt that his remorse and sorrow were genuine, and I worried about the effect my decision would have on his health and the welfare of his family.
"In the end, I could not ignore Darryl's past infractions and concluded that each of us must be held
accountable for his or her actions. I am hopeful that he will use this time away from the game productively and will care for himself and his family."
Strawberry has not been at Legends Field since baseball ordered him out of the spring training complex Feb. 23, a day after his latest failed drug test became public.
His pinstriped uniform still hangs in his clubhouse locker, along with a batting helmet and spikes. There's also a stack of mail, though there's no telling when he'll ever get to pick it up.
Strawberry, an eight-time AllStar, had been expected to be the prime designated hitter for the two-time World Series champions this season. Instead, his third cocaine-related suspension from baseball in five years left his future in doubt.
"Bud just told me," said Yankees owner George Steinbrenner when he left the ballpark after an
intrasquad game. "We will abide by the decision. I feel badly for Darryl. My hopes and prayers are that he can do the things he needs to do to get his life in order."
Shortly before the penalty was made public, manager Joe Torre said: "You don't have to condone what he's done to have a feeling for him. He's not a bad person.
"I think you're always concerned. Obviously, it's a tough thing he's going through. He's fallen off here a couple of times. Sure, it's easy to say he's suspended. But what happens to him during this time?"
Strawberry is a career, 259 hitter with 335 home runs and 1,000 RBI, and a legacy of tape-measure shots. The National League Rookie of the Year with the New York Mets in 1983, his power seemed to have him headed to the Hall of Fame early in his career before multiple setbacks.
Legal trouble slowed him while drug and alcohol problems almost
derailed him. He had stays in the Smithers Center and the Betty Ford Center and then, during the 1998 playoffs, colon cancer was diagnosed in him.
Strawberry returned last season and hit .327 with three homers and six RBI in 24 games. He hit .333 (5-for-15) with two home runs in the postseason, showing the easy swing that made him so dangerous.
The Yankees now must decide how to fill the left-handed designated hitter spot Strawberry was supposed to occupy. Chili Davis, the team's top designated hitter last season, has retired.
Yankees designated hitters hit a combined .275 with 23 home runs and 84 RBI last year.
"I'm not in a reactionary mode because of Darryl's suspension," said general manager Brian Cashman. "Do I think we have the bats on our roster to at least duplicate that? Yes, I do."
Torre has talked about using
Tino Martinez, Bernie Williams, Paul O'Neill and Jorge Posada in the slot during their off-days, and Tim Raines is back in camp as a non-roster player.
There's also the chance the Yankees might make a deal. In fact, the front office began discussing trade possibilities once Strawberry's problem be ca me known.

Cincinnati's Dmitri Young are among the players rumored to move.
"There's always going to be speculation," Cashman said. "If something presents itself that would
help improve the team, we'll look at it."
strawberry's options, however, are more limited. He could perhaps return to the independent Northern League, where he played for two months during the summer of 1996.
Strawberry was suspended in 1995 for 60 days following a positive test for cocaine use. In 1999, selig banned him again from April 24 to Aug. 4 after Strawberry was arrested for cocaine possession and soliciting a prostitute.
Strawberry later pleased no contest to the charges and was undergoing regular drug tests as part of his legal punishment. His Jan. 19 test came back positive and led to the latest penalty.
Given Strawberry's age, it's unclear if he ever will return to the game that made him famous.
"It's sad," said Ricky Ledee, Yankees outfielder. "Being older, if it's a one-year suspension, my guess is it would be tough."
Auburn forward suspended for taking an agent's money
The Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn forward Chris Porter admitted taking $2,500 from a sports agent, a confession his coach said he hoped would lead the NCAA to quickly reinstate the star player.
"Chris has admitted to a mistake," said coach Cliff Ellis yesterday. "He has been honest and forthcoming. I'm now hoping honesty prevails and Chris will be allowed back on the court."
Porter, a preseason All-America selection, was suspended Sunday before the No. 19 Tigers played No. 8 Florida after school
officials learned about the in tion. Porter returned to Auburn and admitted to school and Southeastern Conference officials that he had indeed accepted money.
Two sources familiar with the case, speaking to the Associated Press on condition of

anonymity, said yesterday that Porter needed money to prevent his mother from being evicted from her rural south Alabama home. Porter's mother, Emily, refused to comment on the situation when reached at her home in Abbeville, a town of about 3,000 located approximately 100 miles south of Auburn.
P'
"I know that Chris had been distraught over what seemingly had been a family matter," Ellis said. "And last Thursday he was allowed to go home to Abbeville to attend to a family concern."
Porter has two 2-year-old sons who live in Abbeville, and in an interview with the AP in October said his mother often cared for them. But in the same interview, Porter said he passed up entering the NBA draft last year partly because he wanted to help Auburn reach the Final Four and partly to set an exam-

with a degree in criminal justice. He is averaging 14.6 points and 7.3 rebounds.
He came to Auburn from Chipola (Fla.) Junior College last season and helped the Tigers to a 29-4 record, their first Southeastern Conference regular-season title since 1960 and their first NCAA tournament in 11 seasons.
But since deciding to return to school, Ellis said it had been difficult to keep agents and their representatives away from him.
Team officials had to chase suspicious people out of the hotel lobby earlier this month in
Baton Rouge, La., and have resort-

Porter said in October that he had few friends in Auburn and was careful who he associated with. Faced with a financial crisis, Ellis said it would be hard for Porter to figure out who to turn to. He reportedly told Auburn officials he didn't know the man he accepted money from was a sports agent.
"If you are put in a situation, you can't turn to a coach, you can't turn to a booster, so sometimes in a weak moment you fall prey." Ellis said.
Auburn learned of the infraction Saturday while in Gainesville, Fla. School officials immediately sent Porter back to Auburn to talk with university and Southeastern Conference officials. SEC commissioner Roy Kramer is helping the school complete its investigation so that a report can be presented to the NCAA.
Auburn likely will ask the NCAA for a quick reinstatement, which Ellis said was unlikely to happen before tomorrow night's game against No. 12 LSU. Auburn needs to beat LSU to move into a tie with the Tigers for the SEC West lead.
Canucks forward recovering from attack
McSorley suspended for the regular season, may get assault charges
The Associated Press
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — One week later, Donald Brashear remembers nothing of the brutal stick attack.
"If you watch the tape, you can see I was out before I fell on the ice," the Vancouver Canucks forward said yesterday of the stick-swinging hit to the head by Marty McSorley.
He said he remembered waking up, but wasn't sure where. Brashear was found to have most serious kind of concussion and has headaches every day. He cannot exercise for at least two weeks and is expected to be out at least three weeks.
Brashear switched between English and French at the news conference, his first since the attack. He thanked hospital personnel and hockey fans for their support.
Asked whether he recalled taunting the Boston bench before he was struck on Feb. 21, Brashear said: "There's not much I remember. But I remember that was a game that I had to play hard, where I was just doing my job. I remember we got into a fight right off the start. Those are all things that I have to do during a game.
"In a game you try to make people lose their focus by any different way. Certainly not be hitting someone in the head with your stick."
McSorley has apologized profusely. The Boston defenseman was suspended for the rest of the regular season (23 games) and the playoffs. He must meet with commissioner Gary Bettman before he is reinstated.
Brashear takes some consolation in
still being able to function and think about a return to hockey.
"I'm just happy that I can walk right now and be on my feet and see my 4-month-old son, and keep living," he said. "But I'm not going to feel as good as when I'm going to be able to put my skates back on, give a hit or take a hit or get into a fight for my teammates. I'm not going to change the way I play the game in any way."
Brashear said McSorley telephoned him but he wasn't there to take the call. "I don't think I would have talked to him," he said. "Sometimes I wonder what went through his mind to do a thing like that."
Brashear had little to say about the investigation by police, who are considering assault charges.
"I'm not really concerned with that," he said. "That's not something I care about, that I think about every day. What I think about the most is getting healthy and getting back in my skates."
Criminal fraud case against sports agent begins
The Associated Press
Black walked into the courtroom wearing leg shackles and handcuffs that he had worn since turning himself in earlier in the day.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The U.S. government opened its criminal fraud case against agent Tank Black yesterday, accusing him of scamming NFL players out of millions of dollars since June 1996.
In a 20-page indictment unsealed by U.S. Magistrate Gary R. Jones, the government accuses Black and four employees of defrauding several former NFL clients, including former Florida stars Fred Taylor, Ike Hilliard, Reidel Anthony and Jacquez Green.
The accusations nearly duplicate those levied against him by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a civil case filed last week. The SEC accused Black of defrauding athletes of $5 million.
Unlike that case, this one carries possible jail time — up to 25 years if convicted on all counts.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jerry Sanford asked that Black be held without bond pending his arraignment on Monday, saying he was a risk to flee the country.
Sanford claimed Black took an April 1998 trip to Jamaica with two fugitive drug dealers from Detroit. The prosecutor claims Black took another trip to Rio De
Janeiro two months earlier with two purported drug dealers to buy property in Brazil.
"If Mr. Black has a history of assisting fugitives between countries, we have a strong belief he would be a risk to flee himself." Sanford told Jones.
Jones ordered a detention hearing for Thursday and released Black in the custody of his attorney, Peter George of Tampa.
Both Sanford and George refused to comment to reporters.
Black, usually outspoken in his own defense, left the courtroom without comment.
Black gained control of money paid to the players by their NFL teams, funneled it
into accounts and then used it for his own benefit, the indictment said.
Last month, Taylor accused Black of cheating him of nearly $3 million.
The indictment lists two payments — one of $2.4 million, another of $650,000 — from Taylor's account at Black's agency to accounts in the Cayman Islands that the government contends were used to launder the money.
Taylor was one of more than a dozen clients who invested a total of $12.5 million and $14 million, Sanford said.
Florida authorities have filed a sworn complaint against Black, accusing him of unlicensed agent activity in the state.

Kansas track and field needs full-color viewing
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Two-hundredths of a second.
That's all it took for junior Charlie Gruber to win his third Big 12 Conference title. And Gruber's win was by a margin so narrow that it was only truly done justice in person.
Most University of Kansas students have never seen Gruber win a race. They have never witnessed sophomore Ryan Speers shove a shot put 60 feet or junior Andrea Branson hurl herself over a bar 13 feet in the air.
Most Kansas students have never seen their track and field team perform.
Not to mention seeing them in their little pink shorts, either.
Every little vein and artery of Kansas' heart was exposed in Ames, Iowa, Friday and Saturday at the Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships.
KANSAS
On paper it was easy, knowing that the men's and women's teams finished tenth and twelfth, respectively, blowing off all 28 athletes who fought for each second and inch.
But the paper and stats boxes can't show how Gruber battled the home-crowd favorite, Daniel Kinyua, down the stretch in the mile.
It can't describe how hard it was for Speers to send a 16-pound shot put 58 feet through the air to a third place finish.
Track and field must be seen in full color.
It must be seen for more than just times and marks; it must be seen for it's emotion, too. And emotion rarely flows as easy as when conference pride is at stake.
"It's electric," said coach Gary Schwartz. "It's 12 teams competing for everything — for pride, for points, for places," said coach Gary Schwartz. "It's really exciting to watch people perform over their heads or to watch people perform at the level they can under pressure; it's performance on demand." "I was the case several times this weekend."
Eighteen Big 12 meet records were broken, one NCAA record was tied and Baylor's Brandon Couts recorded the fastest indoor 400-meter dash in the world this year at 45.63.
But performance on demand took its toll.
the perimeter in denial cook its on.
Freshman heptathlete Shane Weiszbrod went down with a hurdle, gashing his knee badly enough to take him out of competition. Junior Ashley Feinberg fought through the pain of severe tendinitis in her knee, placing seventh. And a day later, Feinberg's sophomore teammate, Justin Stancil, possibly pulled his hamstring while vaulting.

But Kansas wasn't the only victim to injuries.
During the women's 400 meters, a Texas sprinter went down 200 meters into a race, writhing in the pain of a hamstring pull. Two trainers rushed over to help her, lugging her off the track before the herd could trample her.
Forty-five minutes later, junior heptathlete Andy Morris lax in the same spot with his hands covering his face after a disappointing lead-off leg in the 1600-meter relay.
His parents, Robert and Anita, sat in the sidelines watching their son, as they had for the past two days.
"Oh, get up. Andy," his mother urged under her breath. "He's got to be exhausted; this is his eighth event."
Morris eventually got up, just soon enough to hear that the winning Baylor team had broken the meet record with a time of 3:04.46.
Over the P.A. system, the announcer could hardly catch his breath.
"Track and field fans, how about that for a fourby-four," he choked out. The meet was finished.
And as they left, the 'Hawks claimed one Big 12 champion in this 38-event endurance circus, all by two-hundredths of a second.

Stanford (24-1), which won its two games by an average of 31 points, received all 70 first-place votes and 1,750 points from the national media panel. It is the first unanimous No. 1 since North Carolina on Dec. 22, 1997
Cincinnati and Arizona, the only team to beat Stanford this season, each moved up one spot to second and third in the poll. Duke, which had been second, dropped to fourth following its 83-82 home loss to St. John's.
That victory was the third in a week against a ranked team for the Red Storm (20-6), which
moved back into the Top 25 at No.18.
Temple, which extended its winning streak to 13 games with victories against St. Bonaventure and Massachusetts last week, moved from eighth to fifth, matching the Owls' highest ranking since the second poll of the regular season.
Ohio State held sixth and was followed by Michigan State, Florida, Syracuse and Iowa State, which jumped from 17th to No.10.
The Top 10 ranking is the first for Iowa State since the Cyclones were seventh in the poll on Feb. 17, 1997.
Tennessee dropped four spots to 11th and was followed by Louisiana State, Oklahoma State, Indiana, Tulsa, Texas, Maryland, St. John's, Auburn and Purdue.
The last five teams in the rankings were Oklahoma, Kentucky, Kansas, Connecticut and Illinois.
The week's biggest drop was Auburn's fall from 11th to No. 19.
The Tigers (21-6) lost road games to Alabama and Florida last week.
The Top 25 teams in The Associated Press' men's college basketball poll, with first place votes in parentheses, records through Sunday, total points based on 25 points for a first place vote through one point for a 25th place vote and previous ranking;

Michigan ranked at No.22
Wolverine women join rest of Big Ten in AP basketball poll
Michigan completed the cycle for the Big Ten in The Associated Press women's basketball poll.
The only team in the league that had not been ranked, Michigan's drought ended yesterday when the Wolverines broke into the poll at No. 22.
The Wolverines (21-6) came in with an eight-game winning streak that carried them to a second-place finish in the Big Ten and a school-record victory total. Michigan's previous high was 20 victories in 1989-90.
“It’s good for our kids, it’s good for our program,” said coach Sue Guevara. “We’ve been kind of slowly but surely building what I hope to be one of the top programs in the country. It’s good for the kids to see that some other people recognize that.”
Connecticut continued its season long run at No.1, and Georgia moved
into a tie with Tennessee for second. They trailed UConn by 59 points in the voting by a national media panel.
Stanford returned at No. 25 as the only other newcomer. UCLA ranked as high as fourth early in the season, and Kansas dropped out.
Michigan went 15-11, 19-10 and 18-12 in Guavaira's first three seasons and made the NCAA tournament in 1998. Nine of the top 11 players returned this season, and freshman LeeAnn Bies has been a key contributor off the bench.
Three of the Wolverines' losses have been to teams now in the Top 10: Louisiana Tech, Penn State and LSU.
"This is a team you just can't focus on one player," Guevara said. "In different games, we've had four or five different people step up. I think it a fairly well-rounded team and a team that still hasn't played its best basketball. But we're slowly inching our way toward that."
Five Michigan players have double-figure scoring averages in conference play. Senior Stacey Thomas leads the team at 15 points a game and set a school record with 10 steals in Sunday's 70-46 victory against Northwestern.
The Top 25 teams in The Associated Press' women's college basketball poll, with first-place votes in parentheses, records through June, total points in games played, and number of points a point for a 250-point vote and previous ranking.

The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — He scores. He rebounds. He defends, passes and intimidates.
As if all that weren't enough, now Marcus Fizer is helping Larry Eustachy coach.
Eustachy disclosed yesterday that he encouraged Iowa State's 6-foot-8 star to have a heart-to-heart talk with point guard Jamaal Tinsley about the value of hard work.
Big 12 Conference.
"I had Marcus sit down the other day and tell him," Eustachy said. "Marcus was in the boat."
It wasn't that Tinsley had been a practice laggard since transferring from junior college and exploding upon the scene as a key element in the Cyclones' drive to the top of the
But his background had not exact
ly preparee him, Eustachy said, for the day to-day practice grind everyone needed to compete at the highest collegiate level.
PATRICK DAVIDSON
"You're a product of your practices, and Jamaal doesn't always gear it up in practice." Fustachy, said.
"But as a coachable person, he's been tops."
Fizer: Gives advice to younger lowa State players
In the meantime, kudos for Fizer
keep rolling in. He was named Big 12 player of the week after he scored 35 points in a victory against Texas and 29 in a big win against Oklahoma State, pushing them both into a second-place tie at 11-3.
The Cyclones stand 12:2 in the league with two games remaining, at Texas Tech tomorrow and at Baylor on Saturday in the regular season wrapup.
How swimmingly are things going for Iowa State?
Eustachy is even happy with the officials. That, for a college coach, is rare.

known far and wide as one of the quaintest, loudest basketball venues in the nation.
Next year, the Cowboys will play in a renovated Gallagher-Iba, which will be quite different from the cozy place they've known for more than 60 years.
"I'll try to get them ready for Oklahoma." Sutton said. "Certainly, there's a lot of enthusiasm. I've never seen such a demand for tickets. It's a scalpers' paradise."
Sutton is a man who can appreciate tradition. He's not altogether happy to see old Gallagher-Iba change form.
"I think there's a danger of losing (atmosphere) when you expand, renovate or build a new arena."
Sutton said. "One of the things you're going to lose, when this place was rocking, there's no place louder because the ceiling is so low. But the ceiling will be much higher, so there will be a place for the sound to escape."
Oklahoma State and Texas entered the final week just one game behind Iowa State, with Oklahoma and Kansas one more back. That means Texas Tech and Baylor will be the most popular teams in the conference this week because the Cyclones are at Tech tomorrow and Baylor on Saturday.
"I understand people will be cheering for us," said Baylor coach Dave Bliss. "Hopefully, we'll finish the season play well."

'Little man' leads Kansas tennis team
By Brent Wasko
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Singles player in No.1 spot, ties record for most fall wins
His teammates call him "Little Man," but Elasear Magallan's impact on the Kansas men's tennis team this season has been anything but small.
Magallan tied the University of Kansas record for the most wins in the fall season with 16, while capturing the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Region V singles championship title. This spring he continued where he left off, racking up a team best 22-11 record at the No. 1 and No. 2 singles spots — and he is only a freshman.
"He's a little guy, but he's a man out on the court," said Kansas coach Mark Riley referring to the 5-foot-7-inch Magallan. "He looks like he is about 15, but I think that is why some people underestimate him. He has been a very good influence and a great tennis player for this team."
CampusCareerCenter.com The world's largest campus job fair
Magallan, a native of Saltillo, Mexico, first got the attention of the Kansas coaching staff after he defeated former Jayhawk All-American Luis Uribe in round 16 at the 1998 Mexican Tournament. Uribe was the No. 9-ranked player in NCAA singles at the time. Magallan ended up losing to another former Kansas All-American, Enrique Abaroa, in the quarterfinals.
CHEVY
Despite the loss, Magallan said the tournament was a positive experience for him. He became friends
with both Uribe and Abaroa, who eventually introduced him to the Kansas tennis program.
"Enrique told me about this school and helped me get up here," Magallan said.

Magallan began playing tennis when he was 10 years old and competed in city, state and, eventually, national tournaments. He said the training in his hometown was not very good, so he moved away from his family for three years to go to Monterrey, Mexico. There, he worked with some of the best junior players in Mexico and was ranked among the top three in singles.
"When I was a kid. I just played tennis for fun," Magallan said. "Then I decided to move where there was one of the best academies in Mexico. The coaches there really helped me a lot."
Because of his experiences at the academy, Magallan said it was easy to adjust to the move to Lawrence last fall.
"I didn't feel strange coming to the United States, because I knew that I would get a good education and I had already lived alone for three years." Magallan said. "The toughest thing I have had to overcome is learning English. Also, the tennis here is a lot more competitive."
Riley has been impressed with the way in which Magallan has competed since he came to Kansas. He has had numerous matches this season in which he was forced to come back from what seemed to be unbeatable circumstances — he's 9-0 when his matches go into a third set.
"He does not have a give-up bone in his body." Riley said. "Most guys would quit in some of the matches he has won. He competes like an upperclassman because
he is always looking to improve his game."
Magallan, Pete Stroer and Sebastian Libertino all are three strong freshmen on this year's squad. This encourages Magallan, who
says the team will be strong by the time he is a senior. But for now, he is just going to take things one match at a time.
"Everybody wants to be an All-American, but I just
want to be competitive in every one of my matches this season," Magallan said. "I think my serve needs to be harder, and I need to be more focused early on in matches."
