Anti-parking vandals hit garage
Graffiti messages similar to those found at Wescoe may carry felony charges
By Sara Shepherd writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Wescoe Hall wasn't the only building peppered with anti-parking messages during the weekend.
According to the KU Public Safety Office, several other derogatory remarks showed up in the parking garage Saturday afternoon. Obscene messages were written with green spray paint on the northeast interior wall of the garage's ground floor. There also were broken eggs, noodles and beans splattered on doors near the graffiti.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey said he could not confirm that the graffiti at the parking garage was connected to the graffiti at Wescoe.
According to the police report, parking employees asked officers to observe a garage surveillance tape that was recorded that day.
Bailey said detectives would rely on any witness accounts and technology, such as a possible video camera tape, to investigate the case. However, any information they discovered would not be available for release.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, said there were 52 vehicles towed from campus last week. Thirty-one were towed for excessive outstanding violations, and 21 were towed for other infractions, like blocking fire hydrants or parking in restricted areas.
Hultine said about five people out of the 52 came in and were especially upset. She said the department normally kept the names of those individuals on record.
Hultine said that she did not recall any harassment directed at the parking department in graffiti form before but that vandalism to property was not uncommon. She said people had broken mirrors in garage stair towers or bent signs on campus, which was expensive for the parking department to repair.
"It just makes parking costs go up," Hultine said.
In a similar incident during the weekend, vandals spray painted "I will kill parking people" and other obscene messages on a Wescoe Terrace window.
Bailey said that because one message threatened to "kill" people, the vandalism was considered a criminal threat, which was a felony.
Hultine said those remarks were more disturbing than the usual vandalism.
"That sort of steps it up a little." Hultine said.
Hultine said that she was accustomed to
derogatory verbal comments but that newer employees were more distressed by the attention.
"I've been here for so long, I feel a little bit jaded about it," Hultine said. "I see it and it kind of rolls off me.
"We get a lot of flack at the windows. People are just rude — there's not really any other way to put that."
Hultine said the parking department planned to discuss ways to deal with the problem, including the possibility of turning in names to the dean of students.
“If there were more of a consequence for coming in and screaming a blue streak at a cashier, people might think twice before they came in here.” Hutline said.
Hultine said the hostility was disheartening for parking employees.
"It makes me sad," Hutine said. "I feel very bad for my employees."

Mix-up leaves classes without rooms
Kansan staff writer
By Mindie Miller
Several dozen KU students showed up for their first day of class this semester and found out that they didn't officially have a classroom.
Students in fundamentals of Social Welfare found out that the room in the Kansas Union where they thought they'd be meeting had not been reserved.
Gene Wee, reservations coordinator for the Kansas and Burge unions, said that at the beginning of the semester, he was unaware of several courses that both students and instructors thought were supposed to meet in the Union. He said scheduling officers in the schools affected had not contacted him to request the rooms.
Wee said the schools of social welfare and education and the linguistics department each had one course that was affected by the miscommunication.
"At this late point in the semester, I couldn't get them in the same room every time," said Bill Towns, operations supervisor of the unions.
Union officials found a temporary room for the social welfare students and then made room reservations for the class for the rest of the semester. However, the class meets in a different room every session.
Gary Grayson, Tulsa junior and social welfare class member, said that confusion surrounding where the class would meet each week, coupled with noise from the ballroom and the lack of desks or tables in many Union rooms, had put the
class about two weeks behind schedule
"Last Monday, there was a banquet right below us," he said. "Every time they clapped, if a student or the teacher was talking, you couldn't hear anything. A lot of people at the break just left because it was useless to try to get information from the instructor."
Melanie Hepburn, assistant dean of social welfare, said Union officials had bent over backward to accommodate the class when they weren't able to find a classroom elsewhere on campus.
classes meeting nearby, but the Union always tries to accommodate classroom requests. he said.
"The best thing about it is that we do have the rooms." she said.
"The Union is a non-academic building," he said. "We started hosting a lot of classes here at the request of the University after Hoch Auditorium burned. We always try to be available for classes because there seems to be a shortage of classroom space on campus."
Most Union rooms are not equipped with desks or tables, although lap boards are provided. Large luncheons and conferences can cause noise distractions for
Brenda Selman, associate registrar, said that classroom space was always tight and that several schools had lost classroom space either temporarily or permanently as a result of construction.
Wee said that 69 classes were meeting in the Kansas and Burge unions this semester, including small classes and discussion groups.

2000 Race for President
Legislators aim to reinstate presidential primary in April
By Katrina Hull
writer @kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
As some legislators scramble to resurrect the Kansas presidential primary this week, others say time is running out.
With a heated presidential race and unexpected dollars in the state budget, State Rep. Phill Kline, R-Sawnee, said reviving the primary quickly was possible with a little political maneuvering.
Legislators scrapped the April 4 primary earlier in the session to save about $1.5 million, but Kline said Kansans deserved to be heard at the ballot box.
"Elections are foundational to a healthy democracy, and there is not any more important election than selecting our nation's president." Kline said.
The important race in Kansas, however, will be placing a bill on Gov. Bill Graves' desk by the end of next week to reserve an April date.
kline said he would.
Kline said he won like an April 11 primary. But the Secretary of State's office said it needed at least 60 days to prepare for the primary, including 10 days for candidate filing, 30 days to prepare the ballots and 20 days for advanced voting.
Kirsten Funk, director of communications for Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh, said if legislators eliminated advanced voting, 40 days might be possible, but the rush to print ballots could increase the primary's price tag.
House Speaker Robin Jennison, R-Healy, told the Associated Press Friday that the timeline was too short, while Senate President Dick Bond, R-Overland Park, said the primary would not be reinstated.
"Elections are foundational to a healthy democracy, and there is not any more important election than selecting our nation's president."
Known as "gut and go," attaching the proposal to a Senate bill allows it to bypass Senate committees and go straight to the full Senate — if it passes the House committee and full House first.
Phill Kline R-Shawnee
Robert Choromanski, Lenexa senior and Bill Bradley's statewide campus coordinator, said he was excited to hear that the primary could return.
Kline, along with House Majority Leader Kent Glasscock, R-Manhattan, and Speaker Pro Tem Doug Mays, R-Topeka, said the plan was to eliminate advanced voting and attach the primary proposal to a Senate bill in the House Federal and State Affairs Committee.
"It's been eight years since Kansas had a primary and its time to do it again," Choromanski said.
Austin said the national Republican Party required Kansas to say how it would select its 35 delegates for the 2000 convention in July 1999 when Kansas still had a primary scheduled. Without a primary, Austin said Kansas would select delegates through state Republican Committees.
But reinstating the primary may be the only way to ensure that Kansas had a voice in July's Republican National Convention, said Karl Austin, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party.
"The danger in losing votes would come if someone challenged the way we selected our delegates." Austin said.
And the best way to avoid a challenge would be to hold a primary. Austin said.
The Kansas Republican Party also supports a born-again primary, because Kansas could make a difference in the Republican race where Arizona Sen. John McCain is gaining on Texas Gov. George W. Bush.
"Without a primary, Kansans are removed from process in a year that Kansas could matter," Austin said. "When the primary was canceled, there seemed to be a clear front runner and that's no longer the case."
"It's likely that a mid-April primary could bring the presidential campaign trail through Kansas."

Student group to meet to discuss homelessness
The Concerned, Active and Aware Students organization is holding a discussion on homelessness tonight at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.
"We really want to integrate the homeless population with the KU population so we can focus on where we have overlapping interests," said Jennifer McAdam, Kansas City, Mo., senior and CAAS member. "The idea of the discussion is that we want to get in out from all parts of the community."
"We just hope to get a group started that will focus on homeless issues in Lawrence." McAdam said.
The meeting marks the beginning of a group called Promoting a Unified Lawrence (PUL) Together.
The discussion will be at 7:30 p.m. in the library's auditorium and all people interested are encouraged to attend.
"If we have just five people there, that's something," McAdam said.

KU student stabbed following weekend party
A 26-year-old KU student was stabbed at a party early Sunday morning, but he didn't realize it until he woke up later that morning.
Sgt. George Wheeler said police were called to Lawrence Memorial Hospital at noon Sunday in reference to a man who had been stabbed overnight. Police talked to the victim in a hospital examination room.
The student said he had started Saturday evening at one party, then went to a bar and then ended up at another party. He told police he had consumed alcoholic beverages, Wheeler said.
The victim said he had been involved in a wrestling match at the second party that turned into a fight, Wheeler said. The victim said he was fuzzy
about the details of the fight but that, at some point, the person he was fight ing with punched him in the stomach. The fight occurred sometime between 5 and 5:30 a.m. in the 1700 block of Kentucky Street. Wheeler said.
The victim said he went home after the fight and went to bed. When he woke up later that morning, Wheeler said, he was in a lot of pain. Upon closer inspection, he discovered a hole in his stomach and realized he'd been stabbed.
Wheeler said the victim did not know for sure who had stabbed him. Wheeler said police were interviewing witnesses and were trying to locate a male suspect.
The victim was released Monday from the hospital.

At least 20,000 hooked on cyber sex, online porn
NEW YORK — At least 20,000 Internet users are hooked on porn sites, X-rated chat rooms or other sexual materials online, researchers say in one of the first studies to estimate the number of "over sex compulsives."
"This is a hidden public health hazard exploding, in part, because very few are recognizing it as such or taking it seriously." the researchers said.
The researchers classified users as "cybersex compulsives" if they spent more than 11 hours a week visiting sexually oriented areas and scored high on a 10-item questionnaire about relationships and attitudes toward sex.
The study was led by Al Cooper, clinical director at the San Jose Marital and Sexuality Centre and Stanford's training coordinator for counseling and psychological services.
The researchers found evidence that compulsives have more problems with relationships and jobs than Internet users who visit X-rated sites casually.
Very few studies have attempted to estimate the number of compulsives, said Mark Wiederhold, a professor at the California School of Professional Psychology in San Diego.
E. coli bacteria slithers in more beef, study says
WASHINGTON — About half the cattle at the nation's feed lots carry the deadly E. coli bacteria during the summer — making it at least 10 times more common than previously thought, government research shows.
The study by Agriculture Department scientists doesn't mean that E. coli O157:H7 is any more likely to show up in the supermarket. But USDA officials, who outlined the findings yesterday, said they were considering new controls on cattle production and beef processing.
Thomas Billy, administrator of USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, at a conference in Arlington, Va.
"The research requires us to re-examine our policies and standards for dealing with this difficult organism," said
The bacteria, which is most commonly found in ground beef, kills about 60 people each year and sickens an estimated 73,000 more, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The department's findings are based on detection methods that are far more sensitive than previously used.
The occurrence of E. coli in feed lots drops to 1 percent during the winter, but scientists found that 83 percent of the cattle they studied had been exposed to the bacteria at some point. Calves can pick up the bacteria during the birth process, while other cattle get it from manure, scientists say. Changes in feeding methods and transportation have been shown to reduce the incidence of E. coli.
Nazi leader's memoir details party practices
WORLD
JERUSALEM — In Adolf Eichmann's 1961 prison memoir released in full for the first time by Israel yesterday, the overseeer of the Holocaust minimizes his own role but describes in pedantic detail the workings of the Nazi death machine.
In the 1,300-page manuscript, penned in precise German Gothic script, Eichmann portrays himself as a misled idealist and an obedient bureaucrat who abhored his frequent trips to the killing fields of Eastern Europe and drowned his nightmares in alcohol.
Some Israeli historians say the account by Eichmann, who was sentenced to death in Israel and hanged in 1962, is so self-serving and distorted that it is historically worthless.
Still, Israel hopes Eichmann's methodical description of the genocide, including timetables of death transports, will help undermine the court case of British historian David Inving, who has challenged the scope of the Holocaust.
Ivring says he does not deny Jews were killed by the Nazis but challenges the number and manner of Jewish concentration camp deaths.
Ivings says a book by American professor Deborah Lipstadt maintains that he denies the Holocaust and distorts statistics. Ivings is using Lipstadt for libel in a British court, and the Eichmann memoirs now likely will be entered into evidence
Eichmann grew up in Austria and joined the Nazi party in 1932, a year before Hitler came to power in Germany. Eichmann said he fervently believed in Hitler's promises to wipe out the shame of Germany's World War I defeat but was never an anti-Semite.

TOPEKA — He didn't actually see a gun, but Gregory J. Davis knows he has a bullet in his hip.
The 21-year-old Denver senior and former KU football player hobbled on crutches into the Division 2 courtroom yesterday to testify at the preliminary hearing for the man accused of shooting him Jan. 23.
Judge Robert Fairchild determined that there was sufficient evidence to try Bryon Kirtdoll, Topeka, who is suspected of shooting Davis at a dance party sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha
fraternity at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union. Kirtdoll, 22, appeared yesterday in Douglas County court with court-appointed attorney James George.
A medical expert testified that the bullet had come close to severing a nerve near Davis's left hip.
one man or dying one inch of being paralyzed for life," David said.
The bullet was not removed.
The bueller was not removed. Davis testified that he and his roommate went to the party around 12:30 a.m. Davis said he was dancing and heard people rapping on stage.
Davis said Kirtdoll, who was onstage, offered him the microphone and told him to rap. He said
he met Kirtdoll and his acquaintance at the side of the stage, where Kirtdoll's acquaintance said gang-related words. Davis responded with an obscenity, and Kirtdoll asked him several more times if he wanted to ran.
"Then I was shot," Davis said. "I hit the ground, then got up and hopped away up the back stairs of the Burge and sat down."
George said he planned to file a motion to suppress some evidence. A trial date will be set after the motion hearing.
ON THE RECORD
Davis said that he never saw a gun in Kirtdoll's hand but that Kirtdoll's hands were in his pockets before he brought one hand toward Davis's hip.
The KU Public Safety Office responded to a medical emergency during the KU men's basketball game Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. A 9-year-old boy cut his finger on a first-floor restroom door. Paramedics cleaned and bandaged the boy's finger at the scene.
A fire extinguisher was stolen between 3:30 p.m. Friday and 7:30 a.m. Monday from Oliver Hall, the KU Public Safety Office said. The fire extinguisher was valued at $45.
The KU Public Safety Office responded to a medical emergency at 3:17 p.m. Monday in the Art and Design Building. A 23-year-old KU student was complaining of severe back pain that had persisted for several hours. Paramedics transported the student to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
■ The KU Public Safety Office arrested a 20-year-old KU student at 3:45 a.m. Saturday near 11th and Missouri streets for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. The student's jeep had careened off the road after he misjudged a curve near the intersection. A towing employee called police before removing the vehicle from where it had come to rest
against a tree next to Sunflower Apartments. Police administered a field sobriety test and, through further questioning, determined the driver's license the student presented was not his. In addition to OUI, the student was cited for unlawful use of a driver's license and failure to report an accident.

Group focuses on leadership issues
By Ryan Blethen

writer@kansean.com
Kansan staff writer
A group of students gathered at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union last night to discuss African-American leadership, affirmative action and where leadership in the African-American community will come from in the new millennium.
"Leaders of the New Millennium," a discussion sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, was the last event of Black History Month.
Conway Ekpo, Lawrence senior and a Kappa Alpha Psi member, led the discussion.
The first topic he tackled was affirmative action. Ekpo asked the group why affirmative action had come under fire in states like California, Washington and Florida.
Many things have caused affirmative action to be questioned, said Dion Jones, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, senior.
"I think it has to do with several things," Jones said. "Number one, if you admit to affirmative action, you are admitting you did something wrong."
Jones said many companies promoted just a few minorities but put those few in the spotlight to show that they had complied to affirmative action laws.
Ekpo then asked the group if African Americans had achieved equality as a people in American
societv.
Ekpo pointed out to the group that the number of African Americans at the University of Kansas had decreased during the years.
Jones said part of the problem with the decline in enrollment was the inferior schooling African Americans received when they were young. Another problem, he said, was the lack of role models other than sports figures for young African Americans.
The discussion then drifted into why more African Americans on campus did not show up for events or participate in the community.
One problem Tiffany Williams, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said she had noticed was a tendency for people to complain but never do anything about what was bothering them.
The African-American community has a tendency to come together when things are bad, but it doesn't pay attention to issues when times are good, she said.
Lorraine Tolbert, Lawrence graduate student, said junior and senior African Americans at the University needed to take leadership positions and show the younger students the way.
At the end of the discussion, Ekpo told the group they were leaders for showing up.
"Each one, teach one," Tolbert said.
"You are all leaders of this new millennium in one way or another," he said.
Pulitzer winner to speak about crisis of masculinity
By BriAnne Hess
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The football fan, the deadbeat dad, the laid-off stockyard worker.
For six years, author Susan Faladi examined men in American society to analyze the problems they faced. The result culminated in the 608-page book, Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Male.
Faludi will speak about "The Crisis of Masculinity" at 8 p.m. tonight at 120 Budig Hall. A book signing will precede the lecture at 7:15 p.m. in the atrium.
"I knew this was the perfect opportunity for SUA to bring in someone different because we typically have male speakers," said Nicole Skalla, Student Union Activities forums coordinator and Salina senior.
Skalla said the book release was also an opportunity to have a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist come to the University of Kansas. She said she had read almost half of the book and had enjoyed it so far.
Skalla said she enjoyed Faludi's work because Faludi approached the issue of the male crisis from a journalistic standpoint and was able to admit that some of the assumptions that she had made at the beginning of her research were invalid.
However, Partha Mazumdar, Pittsburgh, Pa., graduate student, said the perception that Stiffed was a book about men's reaction to the feminist movement was not accurate.
"It's about how the post-war consumer culture has sold man this promise that it cannot deliver," Mazumdar said. "Women are almost irrelevant to the story. It's not about how
"...I'm thrilled that such an acute observer had turned her eye to the male perspective as well."
Lisa Bitel Director of women's studies
men are beating their wives because of feminism."
Mazumdar also said the book was extremely well done but it lacked academic research.
"She asks someone to get the answers instead of doing her own research," Mazumdar said.
He also said that some blame for the breakdown in society should also fall at the feet of the American mom.
"She places too much blame on the American father, and
that drives me crazy." Mazumdar said.
Faludi also authored the best-selling book, Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women, in 1992.
Lisa Bitel, director of women's studies, said she had read Backlash and thought the book was an excellent critique of society in the 1980s.
"She was writing the novel at a time when people were asking 'Why is feminism still necessary?' and her response was 'Of course it is,'" Bitel said. "I'm thrilled that such an acute observer has turned her eye to the male perspective as well."
A question and answer session will follow Faludi's lecture which is open to the public. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for the public. The event is co-sponsored by the SUA, the School of Journalism and Panhellenic Association.
City approves new downtown hotel
Commission denies plan in which city would receive a portion of the tax revenue
By John Audlehelm
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Marriott hotel in the Riverfront Plaza downtown is a go — but the question of meeting space is still up in the air.
City Commission
Developers came before the City Commission two weeks ago with a proposal to put a SpringHill Suites hotel in the north side of the plaza.
They asked the city for reduced lease payments on the grounds, which the city owns, 138 parking spaces and — to compensate for putting in meeting space instead of a more profitable restaurant — a portion of the guest tax the hotel would generate.
Even after developers watered down the proposal, the commission last night approved the first two requests 4-1 and denied the latter 2-3.
The hotel is set to open in late 2000.
A proposal by Bill Newsome, owner of Southwind Capital Limited Liability Corporation, one of the members of Riverfront LLC, which owns the Riverfront Plaza, limited the reduced ground lease payments to the time it would take to build the hotel.
The commission voted to waive the payments for nine months, absorbing a loss of $14.400.
On the issue of parking spaces, commissioner David Dunfield said that he didn't see why the city should reserve spaces for Marriott and that if there were too many parking spots in the area, Marriott should buy them.
But Newsome said it was Marriott's policy to have spots reserved before building a hotel.
"The deal will not be approved by Marriott if they can't count on spaces being there," he said.
The commission voted to grant the developers' request and lease the spots for $96 per year. The city will negotiate with developers the exact locations of the spots.
However, the commission wasn't willing to grant the developers' request to keep part of the guest taxes that the hotel would generate.
Commissioner Mike Rundle said he was worried that granting the request would set a bad precedent. Commissioner Jim Henry said he was worried that giving guest tax dollars to hotels would chip away at the funding for the Convention and Visitors Bureau, 734 Vermont St.
Dunfield said Newsome was not under any obligation to build meeting space in the hotel, and Newsome said putting in something besides meeting space would make the hotel much more competitive.
In other action, the City Commission:
Authorized city officials to work with the proposed bike patrol for the mountain bike trail at Riverfront Park.
Commissioner Jim Henry said that the patrol was an excellent idea and that he appreciated the initiative.
Received the Traffic Safety Commission's recommendation not to put bike lanes on Sixth and 11th streets.
- Received the commission's recommendation that bike lanes are not practical on Ninth Street without removing parking spaces on both sides. The commission discussed removing parking on the south side of the street only.
■ Received a request from owners of the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., to lease parking spaces near the hotel. The commissioners said the owners of the hotel should continue working with city staff members to reach an agreement.

PASS
■ George W. Bush — After realizing that Catholics might vote or help pay for his catchy TV commercials, 'W.' apologizes for visiting Bob Jones University.
*Student Senate Blood Donor Proposal* — The bill would allow student laborbios to argue against allegedly discriminatory Food and Drug Administration blood drive regulations.
Robert Page — Associate director of multicultural affairs wins Citation for Leadership and Achievement in Student Services Award for outstanding service to the University of Kansas. Congratulations to all of the nominees.
**Grammy Winner** — Chris Moore, assistant professor of music and dance, wins a Grammy, but gets stuck in traffic and misses the show. Next
FAIL
A. W.O.L. professors — A discrimination lawsuit leads some professors away from their classes; some students feel like children in the middle of a divorce. In this divorce though, out-of-state students are paying $57 per week.
Bus Shelter — Student Senate uses student fees to offer a contest for bus shelter designs. It's a good idea, but it should be limited to KU students.

Candidates should stay on the grass
Few things are more annoying and discouraging to a student voter than being unwillingly approached by Student Senate candidates during campaign season. Tonight, Senate will vote on a bill that would allow candidates to do just that.
Passing this legislation will not improve the election process. It most likely will have a negative effect by decreasing voter turnout and further disillusionion nonvoting students. The existing policy on "active table campaigning," as this get-in-your-face-and-drag-you-to-the-ballot method euphemistically is labeled, states that Senate candidates are permitted to campaign in this manner only during election week. The bill, however, suggests that such a prohibition clearly is "a violation of candidates' rights to free speech." It recommends that all prohibitions on sidewalk campaigning
Allowing sidewalk campaigning may decrease voter turnout in Student Senate elections
be lifted, effectively making it open season on unsuspecting students.
Let us assume for just a moment that students actually don't mind being flocked by screaming candidates on Wescoe Beach during election week. Even then, the premise for this bill still falls on its face. The appeal to a violation of free speech is a ridiculous notion. Campus is a controlled environment, and the administration and Senate have the right, and the duty, to ensure that students are not harassed.
If the elections code allows for candidates to approach and even physically prod students toward the ballots, what's to stop credit card vendors.
Hare Krishnas and tree-stump style preachers from doing the same? It's safe to assume that most students are proponents of free speech, but it's a fallacy to assume that free speech involves physical persuasion.
The bottom line is that sidewalk campaigning violates students' rights if any at all. Most students who plan to vote probably already have decided who they will vote for. All of the potential voters are not likely to be encouraged to vote through verbal and physical harassment. One almost wonders if this bill exists to discourage, rather than encourage, any growth in voter turnout.
Sidewale campaigning should be prohibited altogether. Extending the term during which it is allowed clearly is a step in the wrong direction, and senators will do nothing but shoot themselves in the foot if they pass the bill.

Perspective
Equal rights within state key to personal identity
Like anyone who has moved to or visited a foreign land, I have had my own difficulties during the last few weeks. I arrived in Palestine during the worst snow storm the region had witnessed in 10 years. I don't speak the language well, I am unfamiliar with the area and I don't know many people.

In addition, there are always the really pressing issues such as where and what to eat, what is the most polite way to ask for the bathroom and what is the best way to fit in as quickly as possible. The last one is by and large hopeless for most Americans.
But the difference is that I am not really in a country — I am in Palestine. More specifically, I am in the disputed territory of the West Bank, controlled by the state of
Israel, Palestinians largely are autonomous within the West Bank, but there is still no sovereignty.
So far, what they have taught me is that as long as the great powers of the world demand that borders and states exist, it is necessary for people to identify with a state and country, and hence a people and a culture. Given time for reflection, I think most people would agree.
This strong desire for a state is the result of long-term political turmoil between Palestinians and Israelis. Although there are discussions about whether there should be two states or one state in this region, it is clear that the young people want others to understand their struggles for sovereignty.
Soaked in the memories of the intifada, a campaign of resistance that began in 1987, college students at Birzeit University, where I'm studying, are anything but apathetic about politics. Not only do the young people here face the everyday problems that most college students face — lack of money, family problems and grades — but they also are burdened by the fact that they do not have a state that is officially their own. Even the local Palestinian Authority is forced to defer to Israel in matters of great importance.
especially to Americans who are happy to criticize the government or who are tired of Monica and Bill jokes, But I quickly have learned that, for the Palestinian students I have met, the importance of having equal rights within a country with which a person identifies is intrinsically tied to personal identity. In this region of the world, Palestinians cannot even enter parts of Israel, including Jerusalem. Because of this border, Palestinians are restricted in their movements between the West Bank and Gaza, where most Palestinians live.
Many of the 20-something students I have met thus far have distinct memories of throwing stones at Israeli soldiers and settlers during the *initifda*. Many of them lost their homes, friends and family, and a number spent some years in prison. Each one seems to repeat a similar mantra: "The sacricles will be worth it when we get our own state."
The lack of a state may seem inconsequential.
Editor's note: The area formally known as Palestine is now controlled by Israel. Palestine is not a state. Sayeed, a Wichita junior in philosophy, women's studies and international studies, is studying this semester.
Feminist ideals are lost in the land of machismo
It is not easy being a feminist in Spain. In fact, I'm not certain that the concept really exists here, at least not that I've encountered.
Spain is, openly and proudly, a machista country. Males from ages 20 to 70 swear that women have the same opportunities as men, and I once heard a 22-year-old Spaniard named Fernando rattle off that it seemed that all women were feminists these days. However, I have yet to find evidence of either.
Although my deduction could be flawed, this is
P
Emily Hughey columnist opinionkansan.com
For example, every time I pass the bar on the corner, which has been twice a day for the last month, I look in to find a crowd of men watching soccer, drinking beer, smoking cigars and staring at women through the glass as they pass by. Not once have I seen a woman inside the bar. The closest thing was the day the Real Madrid soccer team played
Although my duties my perspective thus far, and it's been formed by open-minded observations and frank conversations.
I took solace in the fact that the game was on, because that meant that I wouldn't be scrutinized or called out to when I walked by (as a general rule, the only sure thing that keeps Spanish men's eyes off women is soccer). Then, rounding the corner, I laughed out loud. Away from the throngs of men, young and old, who were pressed up against the glass trying to watch the game, was a table. Sitting around it were four women with Cokes and baby strollers, oblivious to the gruff cheering around them.
Manola, my 60-something host, always says of her husband, Paco, when he eats dinner in front of the television instead of with us: "The men, they like futbol, but I like to talk and watch movies much better."
Such seems to be the trend, not just with the older generation, but also with my Spanish peers. With my girlfriends, we talk most about boys, perfume, shopping and sometimes about studying. When we touch on politics, culture or religion, the boys in our group jump in, the girls shy away, and it's just me discussing issues with a group of verv opinionated Spanish guys.
Okay, I thought, so sports aren't her thing. Once I asked her about some women-related recent events, and she told me to ask Paco. In the next breath, she said she thought she was a progressive woman.
the seville team on pay-per-view and everyone flocked to the streets to watch.
They stand around, half-c confused, half intrigued that a girl is talking to them with confidence in her own beliefs and an idea of what is going on.
Although they've gotten used to it by now, I could tell it was different with them at first.
Once, one of them whispered to me, "I can tell you're a smart girl." The look on his face showed that what he really meant was "Damn! I'm going to have to change my approach if I want to get some American booty tonight."
Needless to sav,he didn't get it from me.
Even in the Seville Marathon last weekend, which I watched from my window, women were nearly absent. I kept making myself stay by the window until I saw a woman pass by, and when I finally saw her, she was walking.
I realize that I'm lucky to have danced through life to this point without any of the detrimental encounters with chauvinism I have found here. Even though I'm not naive enough to believe that sexism doesn't exist in the United States, or that some feminists aren't extremists, I admit that there's a lot to be said for the status of women in the United States.
In Spain, I never read about powerful women in the news, I rarely see fully-clothed and educated women on television, and I have yet to hear of Spanish women excelling in athletics.
I keep telling myself that the entire culture isn't as machista as it seems. Not every man likes to stand on the sidewalk and cat call to pretty girls, and not every woman loves it when they do. However, my present suspicion is that both sexes enjoy their respective roles and it, no doubt, has an effect on the status of women in this country.
Back in the United States, I never thought of myself as a feminist. I was, and still am, a supporter of the self-empowerment of all people, but never a feminist.
We have politicians, educators, scientists, athletes and every other imaginable role played effectively and with strength by U.S. women. Most of us are taught that the sky's the limit.
Feminism does not have to be an extreme; instead, it is an ideal that supports balance, equality and respect for women. However, it seems that oblivion to feminism is rampant within both genders in Spain.
Imagine: If I told a random someone I wanted to be a journalist in the United States when I grew up, he or she probably wouldn't flash a patronizing smile and say, "Really?"
Around the world, feminism often has a negative connotation. To many it means vigilant, man-hating, asexual social rebels. But now, more than ever, I realize that much of the world has the wrong impression.
But it's not like that everywhere.
So it goes here in Spain.

Feedback
Not all scientists back Darwinian evolution
I would like to respond to Lynn Margulis' Feb. 24 letter. She is very correct in pointing out that Matthew Hastings (or the person he quotes) has confused neo-Darwinism with Darwinism.
However, her statement,
"Not only biologists, but all educated scientists, are 100 percent behind evolution," needs some clarification.
This statement is true if one defines "evolution" very widely, such as, "things change over time." Any reasonable person agrees with this observation. However, Ms. Margulis then switches definitions on us, leaving it implied that "all educated scientists are 100 percent behind" Darwinism, which states that all creatures are descended from a single common ancestor through a purposeless, unguided physical process.
This statement is quite false!
In a recent poll cited in the Nov. 1999 issue of Physics Today, 40 percent of scientists said that they believed that "evolution was divinely assisted," which is contrary to Darwinism.
Thus, contrary to Ms. Margulis' statement, only about half of scientists are fully behind Darwinism.

Senate could create new seat
Nontraditional position proposed
By Erinn R. Barcomb

Kansan staff writer
Nontraditional students could get additional representation in Student Senate if a bill is passed tonight.
Nontraditional students have two Senate seats — less than three percent of the total — even though they make up about 20 percent of enrolled students, Michael Henry, campus director, said.
Deena Hardie, Lawrence senior and nontraditional student, said nontraditional students needed more seats.

senator and one of the bill's sponsors, said the seat was needed because nontraditional students didn't get the cross-representation in Senate given to traditional students.

When the bill went before University Affairs last week, some committee members, such as Mike Kaufman, McPherson senior, argued that it might be difficult to fill an additional seat.
Most nontraditional students are too busy with jobs or families to run for office, he said.

Students create new Coca-Cola campaign
Coca-Cola's new advertising campaign, "2002 prizes in 2000," is just one of many promotions that were devised last semester by KU students in two classes, Business Communications Projects and Advertising Campaigns.
Last fall, Chuck Marsh and Bob Basow. associate professors of journalism assigned their students to go out and conduct research and create promotions to help Coke sell more of its products on campus.
"Every semester we have the students do a major project for a real-world client with some kind of local tie," Basow said. "We had heard that Coke was having all sorts of problems that was keeping them from meeting their sales expectations."
Basow said he and Marsh knew the project would cost money and did not want their students working out of their own pockets. Coke gave the classes a grant so the professors could reimburse students for expenses. Basow said the amount of the grant was confidential.
Biehler said the students found that the KU community liked to have more chances at winning smaller prizes rather than one-in-a-million chance of winning a jeep. Several research techniques were used, she said, including interviews with students and faculty, polling sales of vending machines and visiting the bottling plant.
Jennifer Biehler, Wichita senior, continues to work with Coke this semester. She serves as an intern at Coca-Cola Bottling of Mid-America in Lenexa.
"We're thinking ahead of time to try to develop some mechanisms to make sure
Theresa Klinkenberg, university director, oversees the University's contract with coke. She said she hoped the new promotions would work.
just how successful the promotions are," she said.
Klinkenberg said there was a possibility that factors such as good weather could contribute to increased Coke sales. It's also important to make sure that the University's best interests are being met, she said.
Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, assistant to the provost and chair of the Coca-Cola promotions committee, also worked with the classes.
"We're trying to build a better relationship between the University community and Coca-Cola." she said.
Coke is following another student recommendation in addition to the "2000 prizes in 2000" promotion. Biehler said that approximately 15 more vending machines would be added on various locations throughout campus during spring break.
"More vending machines will help to take some of the sales pressure off of current machines so they will not run out of the product as quickly because they will have more support," she said.
A third student Coke promotion, the start smart program, will start at the first new student orientation in April.
At orientation, new students will receive $5 in credit on their smart cards and a pamphlet containing information about Coca-Cola. The start smart promotion will cost $78.783.
Biehler said that the University and Coke hoped this would encourage more people to use their smart cards at vending machines, so there would be fewer problems with change.
Basow said he was pleased with the students' work.
"I'm proud of them, not just because they offered their own opinions, but because of all the research they conducted. They earned the right to recommend solutions," he said.

Local vegetarian eateries open
Downtown welcomes two veggie options

Vegetarians, reioice!
Two new restaurants with vegetarian emphases have opened on Massachusetts Street in the past week. Lotus, 811 Massachusetts St., and Soup 'n Salad, 939 Massachusetts St., have widened the options for vegetarians who want to eat out in Lawrence.
Kelfel Aqui, who owns Soup 'n Salad with his wife, Mireya, said the restaurants catered to a significant portion of the Lawrence community. Aqui said so far his restaurant had received a tremendous response.
"Downtown Lawrence is such a desirable space." Aqui said. "The people who live and work and play downtown are diverse, but they share things in common. They're cool, they're interactive and they like to eat well. We've tried to keep that in mind from the conception to the design of our restaurant."
Aqui, who also owns the Mexican restaurant Coco Loco, 943 Massachusetts St., and plays in the local band Son Venezuela, said the concept of his restaurant was simple.
"It's all-you-can-eat soups, salads and baked potatoes at a very cheap price. On Sundays, we make things a bit more complicated and also offer an all-you-can-eat pasta bar," Aqui said.
In addition to a wide array of fresh vegetables on the salad bar
and soups, Soup 'n Salad also offers options for the carnivorous, featuring a meat chill topping for baked potatoes and several soups with meat, such as southwestern chicken and chicken gumbo. On Sundays, the pasta bar features spaghetti and meatballs and other meat-based dishes.
In contrast, the menu at Lotus is primarily vegetarian and features several vegan options. Its diverse menu includes smoothies with names like the Maki Waki (coconut milk, peach and mango nectar) and Frugavior (raspberry, peach, apricot and honey), rice bowls and daily stir-frys, a salad bar, soups, Pakistani flat breads served with sauteed greens or curried potatoes, and several different sushi rolls.
Lotus also features entertainment such as disc jockeys and local bands and has devoted wall space for local artists.
Aqui said it was crucial for business owners to stay in touch with the community and to give the community several reasons to come to their establishments.
"We're keeping our eyes and ears open and listening to what people are saying," Aqui said. He said Soup'n Salad planned to display a community calendar and also to provide wall-space for works by local artists.
Sara Pike, Lawrence senior, said she had eaten at Lotus and enjoyed the food.
"I had a sushi roll with avocado." Pike said. "It was really good and reasonably priced, too. I would definitely recommend it."
Jennifer Ricci, a December KU graduate, had a similar reaction to Soup'n Salad.
"I was in Chicago recently and they had little joints like these on every corner," Ricci said. "It's just really nice to be able to get really good, fresh food downtown."

First-grader shoots classmate
Six-year-old kills girl in school classroom
MOUNT MORRIS TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A 6-year-old boy shot a little girl to death in their first-grade classroom yesterday, a day after they may have scuffled on the playground.
The Associated Press
In a school shooting made especially shocking by the age of the youngsters, the boy fired a bullet from a 32-caller gun inside Buell Elementary near Flint, 60 miles from Detroit, striking his 6-year-old classmate in the neck. She died a half-hour later.
It was unclear whether the shooting was accidental or intentional.
The boy was taken into the custody of the state child welfare agency
It was thicker whether the shooting was accidental or intentional. Prosecutors did not say how they thought he got the gun, though they said it had been reported stolen in December and was in the boy's home.
President Clinton said he was told the boy's brother gave him the weapon.
Regardless of what the investigation reveals, it may be impossible to bring charges against the boy, Genesee County Prosecutor Arthur A. Busch said. But he said someone might face charges for enabling the boy to obtain the gun.
"There is a presumption in law that a child ... is not criminally responsible and can't form an intent to kill. Obviously, he has done a very terrible thing today, but legally, he can't be held criminally responsible," the prosecutor said. "We will get to the bottom of how that gun got into that little boy's hands."
About 500 children attend Buell Elementary, which is in an area of neat, small single-family homes. Other parts of the Flint suburb, which has a population of about 25,300, are more run down, with dilapidated homes and boarded up storefronts.
pupils were in the classroom preparing to leave when the shooting occurred. The teacher was standing in the doorway when the boy, who had the gun tucked in his pants, pointed it at a pupil, Busch said. The boy then turned toward the girl and fired the only bullet in the gun, the prosecutor said.
The boy ran into a bathroom and dropped the gun into a trash can, Busch said. School personnel held the boy until authorities arrived.
Third-grader Corey Sutton, 9, said he heard a bang and thought a desk had fallen. Then, the principal came on the P.A. system and told teachers to shut their doors and lock them. "I was scared; my heart was pounding," he said.
The teacher told students to line up and get their coats on, and when the kids were lined up she told students what had happened.
The names of the two youngsters were not released.
U.S. teens jailed in Germans' deaths
DARMSTADT, Germany — With thousands of U.S. military personnel in Germany, police are used to deal with the occasional Army brat who runs a red light or lifts beer from a supermarket.
The Associated Press
But three teen-age Americans who reportedly spent their nights hurling rocks at cars from a pedestrian bridge are facing something far more serious — murder charges for the deaths of two drivers.
The community was on edge yesterday as tabloids blared demands for justice, and military families worried about anti-American backlash.
The three teens, whose names were withheld by authorities, were arrested Monday by German and U.S. military police at the U.S.
Army's Lincoln housing area near Darmstadt, a sleepy suburb of 140.000 just south of Frankfurt.
Darmstadt police said the three confessed to hurling volleyball-sized stones — some weighing 20 pounds — late Sunday from a pedestrian bridge at cars on the four-lane highway underneath.
They had met regularly for the last four to six weeks to do so, developing a "tradition," police said. But things turned deadly Sunday, when stones shattered the windshields of two passing cars, striking their drivers in the head and killing them.
The boys allegedly threw stones at four other cars, injuring five more people. One of those killed, a 41-year old mother of two, was on her way to the train station to pick up her husband. The second victim was a 20-year-old Darmstadt woman riding
with her grandparents. Both the grandparents were injured.
A German judge ruled yesterday that the boys — ages 14, 17 and 18 — will sit behind bars until the prosecutor officially charges them with murder and causing an accident with intent, which could take weeks.
In Washington, the Pentagon said it had no statistics on murder charges against dependents of U.S. military members. But such cases have been rare.
U. S. Defense Secretary William Cohen called his German counterpart, Rudolf Scharping, to express regret and condolences to the families of the victims, Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon said. He said Scharping assured Cohen that the incident would not have an impact on U.S.-German relations.

DELIVERY DEB
DELIVERY DEBACLES
BY KATIE HOLLAR
BY KATIE HOLLAR
Drivers encounter kisses, parking tickets on route
O one night last December, Matt Abbick had to deliver more than sandwiches. When Abbick said, "I am busy."
When Abbick, a Jimmy John's Sandwich Shop delivery driver, was called to a house with mistletoe in the doorway, he compiled with tradition and kissed the customer.
"She was pretty good-looking," said Abbick, a Junction City freshman. "It was a pretty good kiss."
Not every delivery driver is so lucky — many others are left to deal with the unique occupational hazards of quirky customers, speeding tickets, pizza thieves and bare butts.
Sometimes customers offer more than tips, Abbick said.
Abbick didn't accept either offer.
"I usually get two of three deliveries a night where the place just reeks of weed," he said. "People have offered to let me smoke and stuff. One time I had to deliver to the guy running the keg at a house party on Tennessee Street. He offered me beer."
Risky business
With "30-minutes-or-less" promises, drivers commonly have problems with speeding
Were it "It's bec. get or e t s c
While episodes like that are rare. Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler said pizza delivery drivers had their share of problems.
Delivery drivers are an easy target for robberies, he said, and Lawrence police typically see one or two dozen reports from delivery drivers each year.
or parking tickets, Abbick said he's been lucky — and ticktless — so far.
Police said Winter did not stop at a stop sign and collided with a patrol car. Neither driver was injured, but Winter was cited for failure to yield right-of-way at a stop sign.
"People will call up and order a pizza delivery to a residence, then hide outside the residence and rob them," he said. "We had a rash of those about a year ago."
"Sometimes I'm delivering at dorms, and the dude who gives out parking tickets is standing next to my truck, but they usually let me go," he said. "I try to put a sign on my truck. If they see you've got food, cops are less likely to pull you over."
Last semester, one delivery driver had a different kind of clash with law enforcement. Brandon Winter, Tonganoxie sophomore, was making a delivery for Papa John's, 2233 Louisiana St., when he got into a wreck with an on-duty cop.
Wheeler said those pizza thieves were not apprehended.
it's kind of easy pickings, because the pizza guys don't generally call back and check on the number or cross-reference the telephone number to the address," Wheeler said. "In those robbery cases, we'll always get
the call-back number and check it, and it's a pay phone or wrong number."
Wheeler said the suspects targeted men as well as women.
"They'll take what they can get," he said.
Delivery drivers should carry small amounts of money and be aware of their surroundings, Wheeler said.
Co-ed naked deliverv
Jodi Oldfather, a Jimmy John's delivery driver, said sometimes she was a little too aware of her surroundings.
"Sunday I was working and delivering to this guy," said Oldfather, a Hino Hawaii, sophomore. "I went into his little apartment building, and he was completely buck naked."
The unclothed customer tried to shelter himself behind the door, Oldfather said, and he quickly snatched his food.
"But as he was turning away I saw his butt," she said. "It was really hairy and disgusting."
Oldfather has delivered for Jimmy John's, 1447 W. 23rd St., since September. She said she took the job so she could drive around and listen to music.
"it's fun," she said. "If I get sick of the store, I get a change of scenery."
Other than last weekend's naked man and the occasional scary dog, Oldfather's delivery-driver career has been relatively tame, she said.
And being a female in the profession isn't a problem for her.
"Lawrence is a pretty safe little town," she said.
Walker Phillips, Norfolk, Va., junior and former Bambino's Italian Cafe delivery man, agreed. He said his scariest moment delivering didn't involve threats or customers,but his own absentmindedness.
Strange davs
"I put some drinks and stuff on top of my car while I was loading stuff up," he said. "I drove to the person's house, and I realized I didn't have my money bag. The customers were real nice and wrote me a check, but I was dying to get out of there."
Phillips sped back to Bambino's, 1801 Massachusetts St., then proceeded to jog along the route he had driven.
"I found it in the middle of the road at the corner of 19th and Massachusetts," he said. "There was over $100 in cash in there. I didn't share that story with my boss."
Phillips said being a food deliverer put him in contact with some of the more colorful Lawrence locals.
"I delivered to one guy who came to the door in some kind of karate outfit and started talking to me in Italian," he said. "He thought it was really funny. He left the door kind of cracked, and there were porn mags all over the floor."
Another Bambino's regular called herself "The Drug Queen of Lawrence." The Bambino's employees just called her the Soup Lady, Phillips said.
"The first time I delivered to her, I could see her on the couch but she wasn't coming to the door. I was pounding, but she was just out," he said. "Other times, she'd just call and talk about how good the soup of the day on Monday was, or whatever."
The interesting customers weren't enough to keep Phillips in the delivery business. After a year and a half at Bambino's, he quit in May.
"I don't plan to do it again," he said.
“
But as he was turning away I saw his butt," said Jodi Oldfather, Hino, Hawaii, sophomore. "It was really hairy and disgusting.

Team routs Baker 17-2
Kansan sportswriter
Good thing the Kansas baseball team has lots of healthy players.
Coach Bobby Randall not only changed pitches six times, but he also switched the infield and outfield around six more times than Baker scored in yesterday's 17-2 pounding. Twenty-two players saw time on the diamond, even if only for an inning.

"We got a lot of guys out there that haven't played as much before," Randall said. "It tells me things about the players that I don't see in practice. They got to test their nerves and get in a few swings out there."
Second baseman Ryan Baty started his first game of the season after returning from the injury list — and he made his presence known. He reached base safety in all five at-bats, smashing a two-run home run in the fifth inning and also recording two singles.
"It felt great to get back out there and play with the guys," Baty said. "It was such a relief. I still need some more work, but I'm getting my timing back."
Defensively, Baty said his comfort level at second-base also was improving.
And Randall must have noticed it as well — Baty was the only player to play in the entire game.

Softball team enjoys home advantage

Kansan sportswriter
There's no place like home field for the Kansas softball team. The Jayhawks, 7-11, won their home opener 5-0 against Washburn yesterday.
Megan Urquhart. "I got good results from that."
Kansas, who has struggled on the road, seemed to be relaxed on familiar ground. This game was a turn around for them both offensively and defensively. Hot bats and steady defense were a large part of keeping the Lady Blues from touching home plate.
"Today I said I was going to relax and that is what I did," said third baseman
The Jayhawks struck early in the game loading the bases in the first inning, when Urquhart doubled and drove in three runs, giving the Jayhawks a 3-0 lead.
The defense took care of the rest.
Coach Tracy Bunge was right when she said last week that her team would have success if they would just relax and play the game.
"I think the kids were relaxed today." Bunge said. "They did not have a care in the world and every thing took care of its self."
Shortstop Christy McPhail had two hits and one RBI off struggling Blues pitcher Amy Heiman, who gave up eight hits in six innings.
Kansas pitcher Kelly Campbell, 3-0,
pitched all seven innings, had five
strikeouts and allowed just one hit.
She seemed relaxed on the mound pitching to her twin sister, catcher Katie Campbell. It was the first time the sisters have worked together in a game during the season.
"They definitely have an in-tune connection that a pitcher and catcher has." Bunge said. "They did a good job working together."
Track coach won't receive new contract
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Gary Schwartz, cross country and track and field coach since 1988, will not b returning for the 2000-2001 academic year
The contracts of Schwartz and his coaching staff will not be renewed for the 2000-2001 season, said Bob Frederick, athletics director, yesterday. Neither Schwartz nor his coaching staff of Rick Attig, vertical jumps/combined events, Theo Hamilton, horizontal jumps and sprints, Tim Suchan, vertical jumps/combined events, Lorri LaRowe, throwing events and Candance Mason, sprints and hurdles, were available for comment.
"I very much appreciate Gary's loyal service to the University the past 12 years, but I have determined that a change in leadership of our cross country and track program is necessary," Frederick said.

the discus and shot put for Kansas from 1962-1966, winning the Big Eight Conference discus title in 1965.
Schwartz returned to Kansas in 1988, succeeding his former coach Bob Timmons.
"He was one of the coaches we recommended and I was very pleased because I had a chance to coach him for two years." Timmons said.
Since reappearing at Kansas, Schwartz has coached 28 athletes to 38 All-America awards, including current All-American juniors Andrea Branson, Charlie Gruber and Scott Russell. He also coached 1996 Olympians Scott Huffman and Pier Lirk as well as 1996 NCAA Indoor 800-meter run champion Kristi Kloster.
"He's had a very wide and varied career," Timmons said. "And he is very well respected by his fellow coaches."
He was elected to the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame after his men's team finished fourth at the 1989 NCAA Indoor Championships and is a former president of the United States Track Coaches Association. This summer Schwartz was part of the USA Track and Field coaching staff for the 1999 World Outdoor Championships in Seville, Spain.
During the 1999-2000 season, Schwartz's teams have had lukewarm performances. In the fall, the men's and women's cross country teams placed seventh and 12th, respectively, at the Big 12 Conference Championships — failing to qualify anyone for the NCAA Championships. The indoor track and field season, with less than two weeks to go until the NCAA National Tournament, has produced similar results with the men placing 10th and the women placing 12th at the conference meet held last weekend in Ames, Iowa. However, four athletes — junior Jabari Wamble, Ashley Feinberg, Gruber and sophomore Ryan Speers — are qualified provisionally for the NCAA meet with Branson automatically qualifying as well.
"Obviously I feel bad about Gary and his staff." Timmons said. "I don't know what will transpire with all of this, there are a lot of big questions, but I'm concerned with the future of all of Kansas track and field."

Kansas is coming off one of its worst defeats of the year — an 88-69 drubbing at

"I think we've never been a team that's

Also playing her last home game will be junior guard Casey Pruitt, who was a redshirt her freshman year. Washington said Monday that Pruitt, who is scheduled to graduate this May, would be playing her final season this year.

"We appreciate the contributions of all the seniors and Casey [Pruitt]," guard Jennifer Jackson said. "We know how
much work and effort they have put into this program, and we want them to go out winners."
"We're going to be facing a really good ball club, and in this conference you can't underestimate anyone," she said.
But before Kansas can think about resting, Washington wants to make sure that her team respects the Aggies' ability in spite of their 3-12 conference record.
If Kansas wins tonight, it will get a first-round bye in the Big 12 Conference tournament. That bid would give the Hawks a week between games, their longest down time since before winter break.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday :
Two themes dominate this year: business and completion. Be decisive, not impetuous, in April. There’s plenty of money in May if you stick to your budget. By August, you should find true love and your destiny, if you’ve been looking. December’s full of challenges and surprises. Follow your higher self’s advice then. Share old stories with friends in January and give up an old habit of criticizing yourself before then.
Aries: Today is a 5.
Taurus: Todav is a 7.
Don't let your worries get in the way of you making a profit. Don't be intimidated by an older person who owes you money, either. If the facts are on your side, the cash flow will turn in your favor. Be nice, but firm. Losing your temper would be counterproductive.
This might seem like it ought to be a good day to travel, but it's not. If you must, stay alert. Avoid traffic jams whenever possible. Just about everything may take longer than usual.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You're working hard, but you might not feel like you're getting anywhere. You're hampered by con fusion and complications. Know what the rules are and comply with them. Get your facts straight. The extra trouble will ensure your success.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
Expect complications, detours and misunderstandings. Check all the directions twice and confirm all appointments. Silly little things could prevent you from doing what you want. Don't rely on a partner; you might be the one who solves the problem.
Leo: Today is a 4.
You're busy and the job is not easy. You may be afraid that you won't get paid what you're worth, either. Did you get everything in writing? Don't take a risk with either your time or money. Try not to leave much to chance. Get legal help, if necessary.
You're in a practical mood. That's good because everybody isn't. Somebody else could waste your money if you're not careful. Don't rely on a person who could get distracted and leave you stranded. Watch out for the most creative and drifty one, especially.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
You may feel like you're dragging an anchor behind you. Instead of being frustrated, check everything carefully. Take advantage of this mood by going back through your work one more time. Better safe now than sorry later.
Scorpio: Today is a 7.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
You're probably a good crafts person. You have the energy and the patience to practice. That's what you should do now, in fact. Take time with your romantic relationship, too. A person you care about might want to be with you.
A domestic matter could frustrate you. Is something not quite the way you'd like to be? This could be more expensive than you'd like, but it's important to get the job done right. You can make more money later, anyway, right?
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
Be patient, take your time and explain what you want done. Others need a strong leader, and you could be the right person for the job. Keep an eye on them while they're working. Even a person who's usually reliable could mess up.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
P
Finish old business; don't start anything new. If you can hide out and check things off your lists, you'll not only get a lot done, but you'll make yourself feel a lot better. Get to bed early. You'll be stronger and luckier soon.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Get in touch with an old friend just for the fun of it. A gathering with the old gang is just what the doctor ordered. Romance will be best in a private setting, but being with old friends and family could put you in a cuddly mood.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Indiana State's Green wins conference honors
LION
ST. LOUIS — Indiana State's Nate Green was named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year yester day by the league's coaches and media.
The senior from Des Moines, Iowa leads the conference in steals, averaging three per game. He ranks sixth in scoring with 14.1 points per game. He's also listed fourth in assists and second in blocked shots.
Green has helped guide the Sycamores to a 21-8 overall record and their first MVC title since the 1978-79 season, when Larry Bird received the conference's Player of the Year honors.
Coaches also tabbed Green the conference's Defensive Player of the Year.

Rocker's replacement returns from recovery
Suddenly, his comeback from elbow surgery became a major issue at spring training for the Atlanta Braves.
Then, John Rocker opened his mouth — and everything changed for the soft-spoken Listenberg.
M
Would Ligtenberg be able to fill the closer's role while Rocker was suspended for offensive comments against much of the human race? More important, would Ligtenberg show he was healthy enough to allow the Braves the option of trading Rocker once the suspension was served?
These are weighty issues for someone who has not pitched for nearly 17 months in a game that counted.
Ligtenberg was the Braves' closer two years ago, becoming the first rookie in a dozen years to save 30 games.
The following spring, Ligtenberg felt a stinging pain in his right elbow, the result of a torn medial collateral ligament.

"It hurt a little extra for a guy like him," manager Bobby Cox said. "He had never made much money, and he was on the road to it. But it set him back only one year. I think he's still going to have a great career."
Player's suspension for hitting official ends
Orlando Brown will not have to sit out any more games for shoving a referee.
The Cleveland Browns announced yesterday that the NFL decided that their right tackle had been punished enough for forcefully pushing Jeff Triplette to the ground in a game against Jacksonville last Dec. 19. As result, Brown's suspension is being lifted effective today.
That means Brown served a two-week suspension and loss of salary of more than $49,000.
Brown was suspended on Dec. 22 for knocking Triplets down after the official threw a penalty flag that accidentally struck Brown in the right eye.
Brown, whose father is blind from glaucoma, said concern for his eyesight caused him to storm back to the field and shove Triplette. Brown was hospitalized for six days with bleeding behind the eye.
After his suspension, he was able to plead his case over the phone to NFL commissioner Paul Tadiclahue.
If he had been suspended for part of the 2000 season, Brown could have lost $125,000 per game, based on his $2.1 million salary for the upcoming season.

"It was good to see Baty out there and get him started again," Randall said. "This game was better than a practice and it's evident that we are making progress."

— we need to calm down a little."
The 'Hawks jumped out to a two-run lead after the first inning off a double from junior Brandon Smith. After two three-run innings in the fourth and fifth, Baker finally got on the board in the seventh inning on a two-run homer from Justin Miller.
But Kansas solidified its lead in a nine-run seventh inning with contributions from junior Brandon O'Neal, sophomore Matt Oakes, junior Brain Hoefer and freshman Ted Ledbetter — players who haven't seen that much time at the plate.
"Lots of guys were itching to get out there because they haven't seen so much time." Randall said.
Along with shutting down Baker offensively, Kansas also performed well on the mound. Senior Ryan Schmidt, 3-0, threw a shutout through four innings, before he was replaced by sophomore Grant Williams. Four more pitches followed and only gave up two runs.

The sky is almost entirely black again, but right on cue, the sun muscles its way through in the west. It just won't give in to the rain.
Wheeler throws patience to the wind in his last at-bat and hammers the first pitch to deep left, but alas, the left fielder runs it down at the warning track.
The Jayhawks go on to clobber overmatched Baker, 17-2., but it
wasn't that long ago that Kansas had trouble beating the teams it was "supposed" to beat. Baker, the little school from Baldwin City, knocked off the Jawhavas just last season.
Wheeler finishes the day with four at-bats, four outs, no lightning.
“It’s pressure,” says Wheeler of his battle for a starting spot. “But it’s unnecessary because I put it on myself. We’re all shooting for a spot to play. Once we get a good lineup it will be more comfortable because the pressure is off once you get a
spot."
The pressure is not off the team, however, as it begins Big 12 play — there are no easy wins. The Jayhawks managed only four wins in 26 tries last year. Randall is counting on upstart freshmen like the Wheeler to come through in Big 12 play. Wins will not come easily for the rest of the season.
Sunny skies are on the horizon for Clay Wheeler and the Kansas baseball team. But there's going to be some rain along the way.

Kansas falls to fifth in Big 12

Hidden somewhere in the shrapne. of Kansas' 68-54 loss on Monday night to Texas is the Jayhawks' Big 12 Conference Tournament scenario.
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
A win against No. 16 Texas would have helped the Jayhawks in their journey for that first-round bye. Now the loss only complicates things.
A quick rummaging here and there finds that the Jayhawks, 21-8 and 10-5, have fallen into sole possession of fifth place in the Big 12 standings. A top-four finish in the conference would give the Jayhawks a first-round bye in the tournament.
"I have to congratulate Texas," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "They ran out early with a lot of intensity and got the easy buckets. We couldn't get our offense going because their defense really bothered us."
Tonight's state of Big 12 games should clear up the muddled conference standings. The run down is No. 10 Iowa State at Texas Tech, Kansas
State at Baylor, Nebraska at Missouri, No. 21 Oklahoma at Texas A&M, and Colorado at No. 13 Oklahoma State.
The game the Jayhawks will keep a close eye on is the Oklahoma game at Texas A&M. If the Aggies upset the Sooners, Kansas will tie the Sooners for fourth place in the Big 12. The Jayhawks will then have the tiebreaker against Oklahoma because they beat the Sooners on Feb. 20, 53-50.
No. 16 Texas, meanwhile, still has an outside shot of capturing the Big 12 title. The win against Kansas improved the Longhorns record to 12-3 in the conference, which places them a half game behind front-runner Iowa State.
"I had nothing but excitement for the team," said Texas forward Gabe Muoneke. "We had to get a win. We are playing hard to keep our chance in the Big 12."
Kansas notes
Kansas recruit DeShawn Stevenson, a 6-5 shooting guard from Fresno, Calif., was chosen for the
West Squad of the McDonald's High School All-American game. Stevenson has yet to qualify academically for Kansas admissions.
The Jayhawks shot 0-for-8 from the behind the arc against Texas, breaking a string of 104 consecutive games in which Kansas had made at least one three-pointer. The last time the Jayhawks failed to hit a three was March 8, 1997 — a 72-48 Big 12 Tournament victory against Iowa State.
With seven rebounds against the Longhorns, Drew Gooden became the third freshman in Kansas history to pull down 200 rebounds. The others two are Danny Manning with 258 and Raef LaFrentz with 231.
Senior Flower Shower will take place on Sunday afternoon before Kansas' final home game against the Missouri Tigers in Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks, Aggies evenly matched
Home court advantage feared by A&M women
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
This has not been the season Texas A&M expected.
The Aggies, 11-14 overall and 3-12 in the Big 12 Conference, have not been able to string together a significant winning streak — and it's not because they haven't tried.
Saturday against Texas, the Aggies rallied from a 14-point deficit and took a two-point lead before halftime. However, the Longhorns won by nine after a strong second half.
"We know what our mistakes are, but we just can't seem to get out of the slump," said junior forward Jaynetta Saunders. "We have been going into scoring droughts where we won't score for the last six to seven minutes of the game. We are getting off excellent shots, but they aren't going in."
Despite their record, the Aggles do not have a disadvantage to Kansas'
perceived athleticism.
perceived athleticism. Saunders, five-time Big 12 Rookie of the Week this season, leads the team in scoring and rebounds with 15.7 points and seven rebounds per game. She also ranks third in the conference in blocked shots.
While the Aggies lead the league in blocked shots that is not the extent of their talent. Senior forward Kera
ATM
Alexander is shooting 57.1 percent from the field, and senior center Prissy Sharpe is a key offensive contributor.
Last week, Texas A&M coach Peggie Gillom said that she hoped Kansas would lose a game before the matchup, and she got her wish. Kansas is coming off consecutive road losses to Missouri and Oklahoma, which dropped them from a first-place tie for the conference title to fourth place.
However, Texas A&M is coming off three losses, a road loss to Oklahoma State and two home losses to Iowa State and Texas.
In fact, the only thing that has been
consistent about the Aggies' season is inconsistency.
Against Kansas, A&M would like to leave this inconsistency at home and give the Jayhawks a battle in Allen Fieldhouse.
rney have a lot of scorers," Gillom said. "Lynn Pride is a great player and a great person, and if she is on, there is nothing we can do about it. They have a lot of weapons, and it will be hard to guard all those weapons. If we withstand the Kansas pressure and do the things defensively that we need to do, we can win this ball game."
The Aggies will be playing a Kansas team reeling from two losses but celebrating Senior Night. And at this point, Kansas cannot afford another loss because a loss could bump them to the first day of the Big 12 Tournament. That makes things tough on the Aggies.
"Playing at home gives them the big edge because you have that attitude that no one is going to come to my court and beat me," Saunders said. "It's just going to be about who wants it more at the end of the game. We just hope this is our day where all of our shots go in."
Suspension lifted for Rush
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — JaRon Rush is returning to the UCLA basketball team, and his timing couldn't be much better.
The Bruins, hoping to finish the regular season with a winning streak that could earn them a berth in the NCAA tournament, will get Rush back for their game against top-ranked Stanford on Saturday.
The sophomore forward's 29-game suspension was reduced to nine games by the NCAA on Monday. He will have to miss Thursday night's game at California — the ninth game of his suspension — but he will be eligible when the Bruins (15-11, 6-8 Pac-10) play at Stanford.
COLUMBIA COLLEGE
Bruins coach Steve Lavin was elated.
Rush: Will play for UCLA Saturday against Stanford
"We've had a really tough season, and this is a huge lift for the team," Lavin said. "We're on a good emotional roll
now with good practices, the two wins against the Oregon schools and the return of JaRon."
The coach said Rush was in relatively good shape and would play at Stanford, although he wouldn't start.
The suspension stemmed from benefits Rush reportedly received from an AAU coach in Kansas City, Mo., Myron Piggle, while Rush was in high school. UCLA suspended Rush, the Bruins' leading rebounder and third-leading scorer last season, indefinitely on Dec. 10 while it investigated whether he violated NCAA rules.
The NCAA also suspended Rush for 15 games this season for receiving $200 from a sports agent during the 1998-99 academic year.
Rush has to repay $6,525, the value of benefits he reportedly received from Piggie, and is working out a payment schedule that satisfies the NCAA. The payments will go to charity.

Jason Stanford is courtside at every Kansas women's basketball game to make films for Rock Chalk Video Production, a company that produces highlight videos for Javahawk athletic teams.
But Stanford hopes the cameras soon will be on him.
Stanford, a 23-year-old native of Tucson, Ariz., will travel to Winter Haven, Fla. Sunday to begin spring training with the Cleveland Indians.

Stanford played semi-pro baseball with the El Dorado Broncos last summer and the Marlins and

Stanford: Signed with Cleveland Indians
Cleveland scout Steve Abney noticed Stanford at the academy and offered him a shot as an Indian a year out of college.
After playing his collegiate career at UNC Charlotte in North Carolina and Barton County Community College, Stanford moved to Lawrence partly so that he and his wife, Robbi, could be closer to her family.
As a video production specialist with the University's Rock Chalk Video Production, he has created graphics for the MegaVision at Memorial Stadium and filmed many sporting events. But he still wanted to play in the Major Leagues.
Barton County coach Mike Warren said Stanford's future looked bright.

"He's one of the better pitchers to
come out of here," he said. "He has command of three pitches — his fastball, curveball and change-up. I don't think his career will end in injury. He has better baseball ahead of him."
Stanford is uncertain whether he can make baseball a career. But a pact with his wife gives him a timetable for success.
"We made a deal —I'll give it three years unless I don't go anywhere," he said. "If I find out baseball's not for me, I knew I gave it a try. I'm very confident in myself."
Manager named to Baseball Hall of Fame
Anderson will join 15 other managers in Cooperstown
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Sparky Anderson, the only manager to win World Series titles in both leagues, was elected yesterday to the Hall of Fame.
The Veterans Committee, however, failed to elect anyone in the former major league player category for the first time since 1993.
Bill Mazeroski, Mel Harder and Gil Hodges all had been candidates.
Negro leagues star Turkey Stearns and 19th century second baseman Bid McPhee also were selected by the 14-man panel.
Anderson, 66, who retired after the 1995 season, ranks third on the career victories list with 2,194 and trails only Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,784) for lifetime victories. He guided Cincinnati to World Series titles in 1975 and "76 with the Big Red Machine, and he led Detroit to the championship in
1984.
On July 23, Anderson will become the 16th manager inducted into the shrine at Cooperstown. N.Y. He will be joined by his former Reds first baseman, Tony Perez, and Boston catcher Carlton Fisk, both elected in January by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Longtime Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman also will be inducted.
"It doesn't seem real," Anderson said from his home in Thousand Oaks, Calif. "The older I get, the less real it will be. I
might be the only person from South Dakota ever elected. That's a weird thing."
Even though Anderson managed the Tigers for a longer period, his Hall of Fame plaque will have a Cincinnati cap. He credited former Reds general manager Bob Howsam for hiring him and wanted to pay tribute by wearing a Cincinnati cap.
In addition to his two World Series titles, Anderson won two other pennants and a pair of division championships. He is the only manager ever to lead two franchises in career wins.

Former boxing champion sentenced for abductions
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Former heavy weight champion Riddick Bowe was handed a 30-day prison sentence yesterday for kidnapping his wife and five children and ordered to get treatment for brain injuries he suffered in the ring.
Bowe, 32, could have been sentenced to 18-to-24 months in federal prison for the abductions on Feb. 25, 1998. But U.S. District Judge Graham Mullen said Bowe's head injuries persuaded him to be lenient.
"Without this brain injury and substantially reduced capacity, this matter would not have happened," Mullen said. He also said testimony by family members convinced him Bowe never intended violence.
Bowe had pleaded guilty in June 1988 to a federal interstate domestic violence charge as part of a plea bargain. He initially faced federal kidnapping charges.
Besides the 30-day sentence, Bowe must serve four years' probation and six months' house arrest after he is released from prison. He also was fined $5,000 and ordered to continue treatment for his brain injuries. Bowe will remain free until a place at the federal penitentiary at Butner, N.C., becomes available.
Two years ago, Bowe went to Judy Bowe's Charlotte home and threatened her with a knife, handcuffs, duct tape and pepper spray. He forced her and the children into a vehicle and set out for his Fort Washington, Md., home.
At a restaurant in South Hill, Va., Judy Bowe called her sister in North Carolina, who guided police to the restaurant. She was superficially stabbed,
reportedly by Bowe. Mullen, however, said yesterday he concluded the wound was inflicted negligently, not intentionally.
Before Mullen imposed the sentence, Bowe apologized to the court and his family. "I hope I can get this treatment so I can go on and be a productive member of society," he said in a barely audible voice.
His attorney, Johnnie Cochran Jr., who successfully defended O.J. Simpson, was not present for the sentencing. He argued during the two-day hearing that the plea bargain to which Bowe agreed should have been voided because his brain injuries had impaired his judgment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ken Bell expressed disappointment in the light sentence, but declined to say whether the government would appeal. It has 30 days to do so.
"The court found that he did it with no violence. We disagree," he said of Mullen's ruling. "We believe it was erroneous."
Before Mullen sentenced Bowe, Thomas Ryan, a neural psychologist who examined Bowe at the request of prosecutors, testified that Bowe suffered mild to moderate brain damage, but didn't think it seriously impaired his judgment.
"That would be a major leap to say mild to moderate brain damage caused him to do what he did," Ryan said.
Peter Puzio, a neurologist who also examined Bowe, testified yesterday that treatment programs were available in federal prison for the kind of brain injury from which Bowe suffers. He described the syndrome as common in former boxers.
Trinidad to fight Reid for world title
LAS VEGAS — Felix Trinidad believes he is not alone in how he pictures himself as a fighter.
The Associated Press
"I think the world knows I'm the best fighter, pound for pound," said the IBF-WBC welterweight champion from Puerto Rico.
But for any misguided souls who disagree, Trinidad said, "I'm going to demonstrate what kind of fighter I am."
The demonstration is scheduled for Friday night when Trinidad challenges David Reid for the WBA super welterweight title on SET pay-per-view outdoors at Caesars Palace.
Trinidad, a welterweight champion since 1993, is a solid favorite to win the 154-pound title. It will be his 15th world championship bout.
Trinidad defended the IBF welterweight title and won the WBC 147-pound championship on a majority decision by beating the previously unbeaten Oscar De La Hoya on Sept. 18.
Even without that victory, Trinidad's experience almost certainly would make him the favorite. The unbeaten Reid will make his third title defense in only his 15th pro fight since he won a gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Trimidad (36,0, 39 knockouts) said he felt good at the new weight. He and Reid are both 5-foot-10.
Reid (14-0, 7 knockouts) has not won inside the distance in more than a year. But he does have good power, especially with the right hand, and Trinidad has been knocked down four times — in the second rounds of three fights.
Trinidad, however, has not been down since the Camas match that he won on a fourth-round technical knockout Sept. 17, 1994, 13 fights ago. In January, however, he said that if De La Hoya wanted a rematch, he would have to move up to 154 pounds. If Trinidad beats Reid, he must decide whether he wants to be a super welterweight champion or welterweight champion. Fighters cannot simultaneously hold titles in different weight classes.

Lease runs out on eatery
By John Audlehelm writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Adios. Dos Hombres?
The popular restaurant at 815 New Hampshire St. closed Tuesday, the last day of its lease.
Mike Riling, a member of Cinco Hombres Limited Liability Corporation, which owns the building, said he did not know why the restaurant closed.
Riling said there may have been a miscommunication in the negotiation process.
"We were in negotiations about extending a lease," he said.
He said that Dos' owners faxed him something last Tuesday, but that they did not call to ask if he had received it. Riling said the fax stated that the restaurant owners did not want to pay
"I didn't realize they were responding with a fax." Rilling said. "I was unaware they were responding at all."
The fax went unnoticed in his office, Riling said, and did not come across his desk until yesterday morning.
more rent.
"We're going to review what they faxed us," he said. "There's still a possibility they might come back in."
Bob Lastilce, owner of the Dos Hombres restaurant, said in a previous article that, in any case, the rent would go up in the new lease.
Riling said that the increase in rent was reasonable from his point of view and that a business would occupy the building for that price.
He said he already had received requests from people interested in the building.
Jeremy Shepard, Ottawa junior and cook and occasional bouncer at the restaurant, said the employees were surprised the store had closed.
"Nobody ever really told us," he said. "They actually told us last Thursday they had remember of Cinco Hombres Limited Liability Corporation
"I didn't realize they were responding with a fax. I was unaware they were responding at all."

signed the lease."
Shepard said the rumor was that the restaurant's owners did not want to pay the increased rent and did not re-sign the lease.
Shepard said he would look for another job.
"I pretty much have to," he said. "I've got to support myself somehow."
Katie Flaspohler, Lenexa sophomore, said she went to Dos Hombres about every other Wednesday last year. With its quarter-draw special, Wednesday was a popular night
'ednesday was a popular night
"I think it's too bad because I think it had a lot of potential, and I think a lot of people liked to go there," she said.

More aid money based on merit, new study says
As deadline for applications of financial aid and scholarships come closer, students and parents may be surprised to find who will be getting the money.
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Released Feb. 18, the survey said this occurred because colleges were throwing more money at merit scholar s than in recent years, in hopes of making their school look better.
A study by the Journal of Student Financial Aid found that colleges and universities are giving more and more money to upper-income students.
Cerveny; says KU offers merit and need-based money
A l a n
Cerveny, director of admissions and scholarships, said this wasn't necessarily true at the University of Kansas, but he could see how some schools might be doing this.
KU has a generous endowment so it can offer merit scholarships," he said. "Other schools that are trying to compete with us may not have the same amount of endowment and they say, 'With us, it's either merit or need.' They do this to keep up

with the KUs of the world. They have to look at how to spend their money best."
Alan Cerveny director of the office of admissions and scholarships
Korb Maxwell, student body president, said he thought it was wrong for universities to fight
"Merit-based aid is about getting the merit scholars to come to KU instead of MU," he said. "I don't care where they go. They're going to be good, productive citizens

Student group to lead off jazz festival
M-PACT, an a cappella jazz group, will headline the opening performance at the 23rd annual Jazz Festival tonight in the Lied Center. Contributed photo
By BriAnne Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Three days and nights of jazz mark the 23rd annual KU Jazz Festival that begins today and runs until Saturday evening at the Lied Center and Swarthout Recital Hall.
Tonight's headliner is the allmate, a cappella group M-PACT. The University of Kansas Jazz Singers will open for the fiveman group based out of Seattle at 7:30 p.m. in the Lied Center.
Kerry Marsh, Great Bend senior and jazz tenor, said he heard M-PACT perform in Lawrence last fall.
He said that it was a nice opportunity to open for such a talented group.
He said that their vocal jazz sound transferred well into pop music, but the group didn't resemble the Backstreet Boys or other popular boy bands.
"They're killer," Marsh said. "They are doing a lot of things that other groups aren't doing, which is refreshing."
The Jazz Singers, directed by Mitos Cox, Seattle graduate student, will perform five pieces. Only their closing song, by Duke Ellington, was not arranged or composed by a member of the group.
"These guys haven't foregone musical complexity and ideas for the sake of their listeners," Marsh said. "The thing that makes them interesting and energetic is that they do vocal percussion."
Marsh composed the piece, Five After Never, at the piano and computer. Marsh said he just sat down at the piano and goofed around with ideas then expanded on those ideas to create themes. He said he let his computer program, Finale, annotate the music.
Cox said Marsh's composition featured the piano and had vocal background.
Cox arranged two of the pieces the group will perform: the swing tune by Cole Porter, You'd be so Nice to Come Home to, and a blues ballad titled Blood Count.
This is her second year directing the singers.
Cox said the group's performance would offer a variety of music — from pop to blues to swing.
Dan Galley, director of jazz studies, said that scheduling the
evening shows for the festival was just the tip of the iceberg for planning the festival. Gailey also coordinated clinics for almost 70 high school and college jazz bands and choirs from several states in the Midwest.
Gailey said the entire festival was non-competitive and gives fledgling jazz groups a chance to
perform in front of nationallyrenowned jazz musicians and then be able to work with them.
Reserved tickets for the concert are available at the box offices at the Lied Center, Murphy Hall and the Student Union Activities Office. Tickets are $8 for students and senior citizens and $12 for the public.
Senate adds nontraditional seat
By Erinn R. Barcomb
Kansan staff writer
A third nontraditional seat was added to Student Senate last night with ease — the first time around. But when the bill was brought back on the floor for further debate, the atmosphere changed.
The bill passed with a verbal majority after a speech was given by the bill's sponsors. Korb Maxwell, student body president, wanted to speak against the bill, but the question was called before he had that opportunity.
Although the bill passed 40-19, supporters and opponents passionately debated the necessity and validity of an additional seat.
"It's the only time I've seen bills of this importance go through this quickly." Maxwell said.
Supporters argued that nontraditional students needed more than two senators because they represent 20 percent of the campus population.
Shyra McGee, nontraditional senator, said she and Michael Henry, nontraditional senator, had
brought at least five bills with nontraditional-student issues before Senate, and only one had passed.
J. D. Jenkins, holdover senator and one of the bill's sponsors, said adding a seat was a step in the right direction.
"It's reaching out and saying we want nonrands on Senate." Jenkins said. "They want to get involved, and we need to give them that opportunity.
Maxwell argued that nontraditional seats were meant to bring issues to Senate and convince other senators to pass those bills. Moreover, he said adding more nontraditional votes was more about politics than hearing nontraditional voices.

Student senate seeks to fill empty seats fast
Another Student Senate seat needs to be filled, and three more still are waiting for replacements.
A liberal arts and sciences seat is now available because senator Sarah Schreck had planned to resign but had not filled out paperwork before Senate conducted the last search for replacements, said Diana Rhodes, secretary for the Student Senate office.
Two graduate seats and one fine arts seat were not filled during the last search.
"Spring semester is probably the worst because grad students could be doing their theses," Rhodes said. "Fine arts is a pretty time-consuming field."
Only applications for the liberal arts and sciences seat have been received. Rhodes said.
Applications are due tomorrow.
Applicants will be interviewed March 7.

Morrison graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor's degree in classical antiquities and humanities. He is finishing his masters degree in Germanic languages and literature and is teaching German 453/473: The German Business environment.
"We're interested in conveying to students that a liberal arts education is an excellent preparation for a professional career other than a teaching job," said Jim Woelfel, professor of philosophy and director of the HWC program. "Although Jimmy was a liberal arts major, he has risen through the business world."

Forum will pinpoint parenting resources
KU Students for Life will sponsor a forum to discuss the resources available for pregnant students and parenting students at 7 p.m. tonight at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union
The forum is a program presented by Feminists for Life, an anti-abortion, non-sectarian, grassroots national organization that was founded in 1972.
Serrin M. Foster, executive director of Feminists for Life of America, will moderate the panel discussion.
The panel will consist of representatives from Watkins Memorial Health Center, Counseling and Psychological Services, Birthright, Hilltop Child Development Center, the Office of Financial Aid, the Department of Student Housing and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Mary Cink, registered nurse at Watkins, said she thought Watkins provided adequate services for pregnant women but was interested to learn what pregnant students and parenting students had to say.
Andrea Van Dyke, codirector of Students for Life and Atchison junior, said the purpose of the forum was to discuss the campus resources available to pregnant and parenting students and how to improve these resources, not to debate about abortion.
"It doesn't matter if you're pro-choice or pro-life," Van Dyke said. "We just want parenting students to have a voice. It just happens to be put on by two pro-life organizations."
Organizers had scheduled the forum last semester, but it was canceled when the moderator came down with bronchitis.

Parking lot re-opening delayed by weather
Orange construction barrels and semi trucks still fill the angle parking spots along Mississippi Street.
Lot 53, which consists of spaces behind the new parking garage between 11th Street and the Kansas Union, was originally scheduled to reopen March 1, but officials say minor delays in construction have pushed the date back a few days.
Roger Harmon, construction manager for Design and Construction Management, said that because of the nature of the current stage of construction, workers were unable to build in the rain Tuesday.
"it's put them back a couple of days," he said.

Burning ban revoked by fire department
The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Department has lifted the burn ban it issued Monday.
Residents can once again burn trash and yard waste outside if they obtain a free permit from any of Lawrence's four fire departments and meet certain restrictions.
Chief Jim McSwain said the National Weather Service decreased the area's fire danger rating from "very high" on Monday to "moderate" yesterday.
The scale has five rankings, he said, with "very high" being the second most dangerous and "moderate" the fourth.
McSwain said the rating was changed because of Tuesday's brief showers, decreased wind and increased humidity.

Koch fined $6 million by federal judge
MINNEAPOLIS — Koch Petroleum Group, based in Wichita, was formally sentenced Wednesday for violating the Oil Pollution Act and the Clean Water Act by negligently discharging oil and wastewater at its Rosemont refinery. The U.S. District Judge fined Koch $6 million, the largest federal environmental fine in Minnesota history. The judge also ordered the company to pay $2 million to the Dakota County Park System as restitution for the pollution, which occurred from 1992 to 1997.
WASHINGTON — In search of another campaign comeback, John McCain looked yesterday to California, the largest of 13 contests on the March 7 ballot, despite statewide polls showing George W. Bush with an edge in the battle for 162 delegates.
GOP prepares for Super Tuesday
The Associated Press
An upbeat Bush said his primary victory Tuesday in Washington, cementing a three-state sweep, was a sign of what would happen in California next week.
The Texas governor was hoping his 50-state strategy was finally grinding down his insurgent rival's challenge. And McCain drew fresh fire from party leaders — House Speaker Dennis Hastert among them — for injecting religion so forcefully into the party's nomination campaign.
"The establishment is intent on breaking me." McCain told a crowd in California. But his campaign also was marred by staff disarray stemming from a dispute on strategy in the state.
With the preliminary primaries finished, the rivals embarked on a two-week cross-country campaign that could well settle their contest for the nomination. There are contests in 19 states in all regions with 954 delegates at stake.
The candidates interrupt their frenetic travels
only long enough for a California debate tonight. Even then, McCain arranged to appear via television from St. Louis, leaving the stage in Los Angeles to Bush and Alan Keyes.
Privately, the Bush camp is expecting bad news next week in the five New England states on the ballot. An aide said the Bush hopes to win at least some delegates in Maryland, more in New York, and win Ohio, Missouri and Georgia outright.
That leaves California — a state, as Bush told reporters during the day, that is important not only for the primary; it is important for the general election. It was also a state in a category all its own in the nominating campaign, with a nonbinding preference primary open to all voters, and a winner-take-all battle for the 162 delegates open only to Republicans.
John Weaver, McCain's political director, said the Arizona senator needs a victory in California.
Bush led in the polls for the delegates, but he and McCain were running roughly even in polls among all likely voters.
McCain's political director, said Arizona senator needs a victory in California. Overall, McCain hopes to run well enough next week to ride out any disaster the following week, when six states hold contests in Bush's Southern base. They include what figure to be two of Bush's strongest — his home state of Texas, and Florida, where his brother Jeb is governor.

Needy students getting less aid
Continued from page 1A
and get a good education wherever they go. What's important is the student who needs the money but doesn't get it and can't go to school in their own state."
Maxwell is lobbying the Legislature for more financial aid for the University.
He said he viewed financial aid as a national resource to build social capital and not as a bottomline business asset to the University.
According to the study, at a four-year institution, need-based scholarships for high-income families rose 98 percent, or 144,730 more awards, from 1989 to 1995, while need-based aid for low-income families rose only 25 percent, or 51,625 awards.
all grants, merit and need-based, rose 62 percent, or 182,824 awards, for high-income families and only 16 percent, or 39,447 awards, for low-income families.
Maxwell said he found these numbers appalling.
These universities need to be putting money into need-based financial aid," he said.
Cerveny said the Office of Admissions and Scholarships gave 30 percent, about $1.5 million, in merit and need scholarships to incoming students and the remaining amount, $2.5 million to $3.5 million, was only for merit.
"If those are the numbers,
that's terrible." Maxwell said. "It should be more like 90 percent need and 10 percent merit."
But Cerveny said even though some aid is not classified as need-based, it is, for all intents and purposes.
"We've found that a lot of middle-class families don't quite meet the requirements for need-based aid, but it would be very challenging for the student and family to make ends meet," he said. "This is where we feel scholarship makes a difference."
This is the kind of student that Maxwell wants to give financial aid to attend the University.
"College is not just for the rich or wealthy," he said. "It should be open to all the people of Kansas who qualify to come here."
Cerveny said the endowment association gave the University $12 million last year to help attract merit scholars.
"We have a pretty unique and special situation," he said. "Our endowment association is in support of scholarships and it has allowed us to be aggressive in recruiting students and give them some extra money."
Maxwell said he doesn't think merit scholars need the extra money.
"They should get a plaque on their wall from the University for being a good student," he said.

Education program to create cost-efficient college nest eggs
writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Commission on a National Investment in Higher Education reports that if tuition continues to rise at the current rate, it will double by 2015.
Students who think college tuition is high now may not want to fathom what their children might have to pay to be a University of Kansas Jayhawk in the future.
However, with a little help from the state of Kansas and mom and dad, future Jayhawks may have a college nest egg that can withstand rising tuition trends.
State Treasurer Tim Shallenburger said this program could help parents combat rising college costs.
In July, the Kansas Postsecondary Education Savings Program will begin allowing anyone to set up special educational accounts with tax benefits.
"We want to encourage the working middle income, who traditionally don't save money, to invest $25 a month in their child's college education," said Shallenburger, the program's administrator.
And $25 a month — a little less than the cable bill — can make a difference.
Parents investing $25 a month for 18 years with an average 10 percent return on investment would save about $17,000 for their child's college education.
Grandparents, relatives or anyone can open or contribute to the education-designed account, which the state will place in a diversified investment portfolio—a mix of stocks and bonds at varing risk levels.
Plus, the interest on the investment is sheltered from taxes, said Bill Bates, vice president of governmental affairs at American Century, the Kansas City, Mo., investment company that will manage the program.
"It's the best way and the most intelligent way to save money for education." Bates said. "We're committed to making the plan, if not the finest, one of the finest in the nation."
When money is withdrawn for a qualified educational expense — tuition, room and board, books, required fees and supplies — federal and state taxes are payable only on what the investment has earned.
The taxes will be based on the student's tax rate, which is likely to be lower because students don't have much taxable income.
Bates said the entire investment eventually could be tax-free, pending national legislation.
The Senate Education Committee heard testimony from Shallenburger and Bates yesterday about revising the program that the 1998 Legislature approved.
Proposed changes to the program include lowering the penalty fee for early withdrawal from 15 percent to 10 percent and removing the age limit.
Last summer, President Clinton vetooed a tax bill that included making postsecondary education programs tax-free. Bates said.
A minimum investment of $25 opens an account and the money must remain in the account for at least two years. Kansas residents must pay a $10-per-year fee. Out-of-state residents must pay $40 per year. The money can be used at any college in the United States.
Penalty fees for non-educational uses and early withdrawal are meant to prevent program abuse by people trying to escape taxes, Shallenburred said.
Without an age limit, the program would allow adults who wanted to attend college as non-traditional students to start accounts in their own names.
we want to make sure the people using the fund are really going to college," he said.
First student affairs chancellor dies at 85
By Doug Pacey
By Doug Pacey writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
One of the people who held the University of Kansas together during the turbulent times of the 1960s and 1970s died yesterday.
William M. Balfour, the University's first vice chancellor for student affairs in the late '60s and ombudsman in 1977, died at Lawrence Presbyterian Manor. He was 85.
"Much of what we have today in KU's Division of Student Affairs reflects back on Bill's work when we first became a major administrative unit in the University," said David Ambler, current vice chancellor for student affairs.
Ambler also said that Balfour's ability to communicate with students helped the University through trying times in the 1960s and 1970s.
"I've been told he had a style that gained confidence with students," Ambler said. "It is believed that his genuine concern for students saved the day many a time during the anti-war period."
Ambler became the vice chancellor when Balfour resigned and returned to teaching. Ambler said that he frequently consulted with Balfour and

good adviser and especially good at working with students," he said. "He was a great and marvelous person."
Balfour won the University's H.O.P.E. award for excellence in teaching in 1978 and 1980.
He was also a professor of physiology and cell biology, and served as the pre-med adviser for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Balfour received his B.S. in 1936 from the University of Minnesota and a master's from the Mayo Graduate School in 1948.
He first came to the University in 1957 as an assistant professor in the medical school. Balfour first taught in 1966 and also served as the chairman of the comparative biochemistry and physiology department.
He was born Nov. 26, 1914, in Pasadena, Calif., to Donald and Carrie Balfour.
His wife, Oane McQuarrie, preceded him in death as well as one of his daughters, Barbara Balfour.
He is survived by a son, James Balfour of Healdsburg, Calif; two daughters, Laurie Balfour Tremaine of St. Paul, Minn., and Wendy Balfour of Lawrence; one brother, Walter Balfour of Yuba City, Calif.; one grandchild; and two great-grandchildren.

Alcohol container ban not the answer
When walking through any residence or scholarship hall, one is likely to find a collection of empty alcoholic beverage containers stacked high and wide in many of the rooms. After finishing a handle of Jim Beam or a six pack of Bud Light, it's a common tradition to take the empty bottles and proudly display them for all to see. Whether it be to brag about how much one drank or what one drank, it's definitely a common occurrence. Now the University of Kansas Department of Student Housing is banning the display of those containers.
This change of policy serves no purpose in the fight for zero tolerance at the University. The Association of
Residents of University housing should be allowed to display empty bottles and cans
University Residence Halls thinks the policy will help curb drinking in KU housing. But when the containers are put up for display, the contents already have been consumed. So how will eliminating the display of containers help anything? Students still will drink in their rooms. Thus, the policy only will prevent the rights of students to display what essentially is a piece of trash.
Another concern stated by residence hall officials was that with allowing collections of alcohol containers, it is hard to tell which ones are full and which ones are empty. Who in their right mind would leave a bottle or can full of alcohol sitting around for all to see?
The University's reasons for supporting this policy fall short on logic. It seems to many that it is another attempt to justify the zero-tolerance policy, which has been under some scrutiny. Instead, the policy is just another rule that might alienate people from KU housing. Collecting bottles is a legitimate hobby and form of decoration, and to take away that right is ludicrous.

KU needs funds for professorships
The Kansas Senate must vote to
pass the proposed Kansas Partnership for Faculty Distinction next month. The University of Kansas and the State of Kansas are lagging behind other states in financing professorships.
Other states, including Missouri, match private donations to establish professorships. Kansas' inaction is a visible deterrent to the University's appeal in attracting donors and educators.
The proposed legislation would require the state to match dollars for private donations to create new faculty positions, making donor dollars stretch much further. This
State of Kansas should match private donations to create new faculty positions
effect is not lost on potential donors. Gifts of $500,000 or more would activate the program. The KU Endowment Association has had at least three gifts that would meet this requirement during the last two years.
It is important always to be looking for ways in which the University can be improved, and it is equally as important to understand how proposals for change have a direct effect on the student body. A large percentage of the student body comes from the Kansas City area. It doesn't shape up well for recruitment when the bordering state's largest university is operating at levels higher than our own in providing for our educators.
This issue has remained a consistent sore spot for the University and the state. Our educators' salaries do not add up to their work's worth.
The state should attempt to solve this by providing matching funds for professorships.

We are outraged and dismayed at the recent strategy adopted by KU lawyers in the discrimination suit brought by Ray Pierotti and Cynthia Annett. As reported in the Kansan, the University of Kansas in that federal court action questioned whether Pierotti was "really" an American-Indian person.
Defending a discrimination lawsuit by demanding blood count documentation of the person bringing the suit does not indicate respect or extend dignity to any human. Moreover, such blood count notions are an attack on the University's proclaimed policy of equal protection. Apparently, that equal protection policy now applies only if one passes University-approved authenticity tests. In the wake of KU lawyers' recent legal effort, we suppose all KU faculty, staff and students, including White persons, must expect to submit to DNA testing to
was an American-Indian person in KU documents before this federal action, a measure required for the University to receive federal funds. Now, when he charged the University with discrimination, from the University standpoint he may not be "Indian" enough.
While we do not deny a right of defense against charges of discrimination, calling into question the identities of those persons making such allegations has the chilling effect of working against the very goals of the University. The KU mission statement proclaims, "The University fosters a multicultural environment in which the dignity and rights of individuals are respected." Piero#1
The KU legal team's tactic seems like a very poor choice for an institution dedicated to respecting cultural diversity and promoting ethical democracy. We think that the University would be better served by its lawyers if they would nurture rather than undermine the authenticity of Pierotti's Comanche identity.
prove the credibility and genuineness of their identity claims. We hope readers realize this focus on blood count opens endless complications.

Broaden your mind: Today's quote
of amenity options, leases and deposits to find the most desirable dwelling
I am making my way through this sticky mess for the fourth time, and I have learned from past mistakes.
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." — Aristotle
A apartment shopper beware. Many of you have begun — or soon will begin — hunting for a home for next year. You'll attempt to inch your way through the sticky mess
Proceed with caution before signing that lease
P
But stop and think before you hastily sign your name to a legal contract that binds you—and your money—to a bungalow for a year.
Perspective
At about this time last year, my roommates and I signed a lease after viewing a floor plan we were told would be identical to our future three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment. But come moving day, we lacked a bathtub,
Insurance: Ask about renter's insurance and what type of incidents you would be financially responsible for.
bathroom cabinets, a bathroom sink and a closet. Another bathroom sink and bedroom closet were significantly smaller than promised.
■ Read the fine print: Make sure you completely understand the lease. Most address issues such as when owners or maintenance staff have the right to enter your home, noise issues and lost keys. An important portion is the clause that states that you are responsible for the total rent bill — even if your roommate doesn't pav un.
Managers insisted that they hadn't misled us: the floor plan was identical. They couldn't understand why we were fussing about the missing items.
We eventually moved into another, more expensive apartment in the same complex that had all the amenities. The management agreed to give us a minuscule rent deduction, and we had to incur costs for telephone and utility transfers.
**Furniture:** Is it furnished? If so, will they remove unwanted items?
The mistake easily could have been avoided. On the bright side, I learned a lot about the snares and tangles of the process. Advice from online sources and apartment owners and managers cannot compare to firsthand experience. So for those of you blindly feeling your way through the fog of apartment shopping, keep the following issues in mind. Maybe they can spare you from having your own disastrous episode.
Don't procrastinate: Most apartment complexes work on a first come, first serve basis. If you want to be able to pick and choose, start the process early. Most landlords also require a processing period to obtain parental signatures and perform credit checks before allowing a tenant to reserve a spot. A perk is that some offer early signing bonuses such as a rent discounts or free cable.
Amenities: Ask if appliances, laundry facilities or others are included with rent.
**Sneak a peak:** Demand to see the actual apartment you will be renting before you sign the dotted line. Trust me — it could save you a lot of hassle.
**Deposit:** Many landlords require a deposit less than or equal to a month's rent. Don't forget to budget for this before you sign a lease. Landlords are required by law to return it if the apartment is in good condition when you move out. Discuss it and make sure the agreement is in writing.
Crime/noise/cleanliness: Do some background research on the area you're interested in.
Talk to police. Ask residents if they like living there. Drive past the complex on evenings or weekends to see what the conditions are like.
- Storage: Check out closet and cabinet.*
* Subleases: This might be important to those leaving for the summer or a semester. Find out early if subleasing is allowed and how it's handled.
**Utilities:** Are any included in the rent? What are the hook-up and start-up fees? Is the heat electric or gas? (This could make a huge difference in bills.) How much are average utilities at the specific apartment?

Mystique of travel can lie in express Chinese food
Phil
Cauthon
columnist
opinion@kansan.com
Since my first road trip at 16, I've been trying to put my finger on what makes travel so perfect and necessary. Even trips that failed to meet expectations or went fabulously wrong gave me such a mystical sense of satisfaction that soon after I had returned, I was planning to leave again.
I may be addicted to travel, but I don't know why. It's certainly not because of a distaste for home. In fact, each time I roll back into town whether from a weekend trip to Obscureville,
Midwest, or from a long stay abroad — my appreciation of Northeast Kansas has grown considerably. Like the kid in Where the Wild Things Are, my time among the menageries of far-flung locales eventually has me pining for Lawrence.
1
At times, I've thought that travel's primary perk was its innate gift of liberation. Getting out of town, even for a short while, can shake the chains of an entrenched daily routine. And once freed from the patterns, I could tease myself out of the familiar.
But that theory alone wouldn't explain the mindless getaways laden with consumption and physical mind when by the beach with a local brew is my soul's quest for perfection. Those exquisite and far too rare occasions allow me to be an indifferent kid again.
Nor is travel all high times and cheers. I've often found myself nurturing a cynicism when my vacation destination is obviously another's poverty. Coming from Kansas where the homeless are not always in plain view, walking big-city streets and meeting the eyes of countless beggars can be a constant conscience bombardment. Though such trips have me thanking God for my fortune, I don't have to leave home to feel such gratitude.
Instead of a self-portrait painted solely with the colors of everyday surroundings, travel's back-drops provided a needed contrast from which I could bring myself into focus.
For a time I was sure that the essence of travel was its fantastic potential for education. The more I understood other peoples' reality — which was

On the surface, it's about getting out there to see all the freaks of human ingenuity, to prove to yourself that life is limited only by your will and courage to create. Our will and creativity seriously can be stunted by a strip-mall mentality. And on that elusive metaphorical plane, JACKIE CHAN teaches us that travel is about starting out with a tired old Pizza Hut, taking the unchartered Chinese-Seafood-Subs path, and seeing where it goes.
I chuckled, thinking that the sign reflected a misunderstanding of American dining habits. You go to a Chinese restaurant for good Chinese food, not for cheese express dishes. But entering the restaurant, I realized the misunderstanding was all mine: JACKIE CHAN was packed and the menu was a smashing success. At that wonder-striken moment, JACKIE CHAN embodied all that is good about travel.
Then I spotted JACKIE CHAN. On top of an old refurbished Pizza Hut stood the restaurant's name, a beacon in bright orange neon: JACKIE CHAN. Strapped over the former highway-height Pizza Hut sign was a blue tarp, which read, "Super Buffet Open Now! CHINESE SEAFOOD SUBS STEAK CHEESE EXPRESS DISHES HAMBURGER BUFFALO WINGS FREE DELIVERY."

I was leaving the city, trying desperately to find some green space away from all the people and pavement. But because of a poorly chosen highway, such respite would be another hour away. I barrelled through miles of uninteresting strip malls and apartment complexes, a monotony of West and South Lawrence-like architecture burdened with 30 years of neglect that reminded me of life's dashed hopes, withered dreams and cruel vulgarities.

strangely bewildering to me and at once unquestioned by them — the more I began to pick out the truths that transcend varied experience.
But such intangible notions do not get me packing my bags. Last weekend, seven years later in an unlikely Virginia suburb, I began to sense that element of travel that, though elusive of description, makes it so necessary. I call it the Jackie Chan factor.

Saline breast implants will remain on market
GAITHERSBURG, Md. — Saline-filled breast implants break open at alarmingly high rates and require women to undergo repeated surgeries, but at least one brand is safe enough to continue selling as long as women are properly warned of the risks, a government advisory board decided yesterday.
The Associated Press
About 130,000 American women received saline-filled breast implants last year even though the Food and Drug Administration has never declared these implants safe.
The implants loose because of a government loophole — but the FDA recently decided to allow selling if manufacturers prove implants are safe. The FDA also asked its scientific advisers to evaluate brands sold by California-based Mentor Corp. and two competitors this week.
"Only fools will call these risks acceptable," said Patricia Faussett of Henderson, Nev., whose illnesses disappeared once her implants were removed.
In a 13-hour meeting yesterday, about a dozen implant recipients urged that saline implants be banned. Some held up implants removed from their bodies that were blackened with fungus that had infected the moist implants, and blamed them for causing infections, breast pain or repeated surgeries.
Mentor studied 1.680 saline implant recipients. Up to 27 percent of the implants were removed
within three years of implantation, mostly because patients suffered painful scar tissue, an infection, or the implant broke and leaked, FDA officials said.
The longer women have implants, the more likely they are to suffer a side effect.
The FDA isn't bound by its advisers' recommendations, but typically follows them.
Still, there is no evidence the implants cause major diseases, so the saline implants can remain on the market as long as women get strong warnings about the risks and the maker does some additional safety-testing.
Today and tomorrow, the FDA panel will evaluate two competing companies' brands of saline implants — and figure out how the FDA should warn women that most will suffer some complication if they get implants.
But many women are happy with the implants — some breast cancer survivors pleaded with the FDA yesterday to keep the option open, saying implants help their emotional recovery after a mastachectomy.
"It has given me back my selfesteem and sexuality," said Jennifer Gardner of Washington, D.C.
Saline implants are most women's only option. In 1992, the FDA banned use of silicone gel-filled breast implants except for a small number of women in strict clinical trials. No other implants are sold in this country.
Watkins seminar to help students prepare for break
Vaccinations, safe-sex game to highlight risk-awareness fair
By Warisa Chulindra
Kansan staff writer
Students can have dinner, vaccinations and the chance to win candy by playing Safer Sex Jeopardy! from 5 to 7 p.m. today during the spring break fair at Ekdahl Dining Commons in Lewis Hall.
The fair is the second Focus on Health seminar this semester given by Watkins Memorial Health Center. The seminars are designed to raise awareness about various health issues while giving students the opportunity to meet Watkins staff in a different environment.
"Primarily what we're doing is getting people ready for spring
break," said Julie Francis, health educator at Watkins.
Although spring break is a few weeks away, now is the ideal time for students to get their vaccinations because resistance takes time to fully develop, said Deborah Miller, a registered nurse at Watkins.
If students wait until just before break to get vaccinations, resistance will begin to develop but will not reach its full development, she said.
Vaccinations for hepatitis A, hepatitis B and bacterial meningitis, as well as tetanus shots, will be available. These vaccinations are ideal for those traveling during spring break, Francis said. Students traveling to countries that do not have the same sanitation standards as the United States run a risk of catching hepatitis A. Hepatitis B is a sexually transmitted disease.
Menomune is the vaccine that prevents meningitis. When students are in smoky, crowded environments, they run a higher risk of contracting meningitis, Francis said. She encouraged students who were members of organized living groups to get the vaccination.
"For as many people going out of the country, it's good they have easy access to the shots they need."
Nate Westre
President of Bruce House
For students who are physically active during spring break, physical therapy staff will be on hand with information about injury prevention and stretching. Students also will be able to try the Fitter, a machine that simulates the movements of downhill
Vaccinations offered at the spring break fair
Vaccine Cost Number of Shots Intervals
Hepatitis A $20 per shot 2 shot series Initial shot, second shot 6-12 months later
Hepatitis B $30 per shot 3 shot series Initial shot, one month later, six months later
Menomune $65 1 shot Booster in 3-4 years
Tetanus $6 1 shot Bdoster after 10 years
Students may pay by cash, check or credit card. To make an appointment call 864-9

Information about sunscreen and protective measures to prevent sun damage also will be available.
Students can win candy from playing a version of Jeopard! that will test students' sex-sex knowledge. Condoms and other items will be given away.
Sandy Bowman, supervisor of physical therapy, said that many students returned from spring break with minor injuries and that the fair would provide a lot of information on preventative measures.
Students in residence halls said they thought the fair would be convenient for students.
"It's definitely a good idea," said Nate Westre, Stuart, Iowa, sophomore and president of Bruce House, the seventh floor in Lewis Hall. "For as many people going out of the country, it's good they have easy access to the shots they need."

Garden project endorsed by Japanese authority
By John Audlehelm
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A Zen abbot visiting the University of Kansas has given his approval to the city's Japanese-style garden, which will probably be completed in July.
Fukushima Keido Roshi, the head of Tobukuji, a monastery in Kyoto, visited Watkins Park, 1045 Massachusetts St., yesterday morning to critique the Japanese-style garden the city is building.
Andrew Tsubaki, professor of theater and film and east Asian studies, said Fukushima has visited KU every year since 1989.
"The first time he visited in connection with Zen paintings and a calligraphy exhibit the Spencer did," Tsubaki said, referring to the Spencer Art Museum.
Tsubaki said that during this visit, Fukushima did a calligraphy demonstration, led a Zazen sitting, or Zen meditation, and lectured at the museum last night.
Faye Watson, chair of the Sister Cities Garden Project Committee, said the garden project started in 1995 when Lawrence's sister city, Hiratsuka, Japan, gave Lawrence $5,000 to build the garden.
Ed Mullins, finance director for the city,
said Lawrence matched that grant in July
1998 when it allocated $5,000 to the garden.
Bob Schumm, chairman of the Lawrence Sister City Advisory Board, said the project would cost about $40,000 by the time it was completed.
"We're putting quite a bit of money into this project," he said.
Watson said she did not think the project would cost quite that much.
"We think if we can raise $25,000 we'll be able to do it." she said
Watson said there would be a fund-raiser in May in which garden workers would auction off the garden's parts and auctioneers would bid on how much they would donate.
The garden will not be entirely Japanese, Watson said, because some Japanese flowers cannot take Kansas weather.
The boulders for the garden are coming from a quarry in Marvysville, Watson said.
Schumm said that was because limestone, which is abundant in this area, was made of sediment and could not be used in a Zen garden.
"There's no boulders around here," he said.
Schumm said he thought the garden would be completed by July. Watson said it had to be done by October, when a delegation from Hiratsuka would visit Lawrence to celebrate the sister cities' 10-year anniversary.

Professors to share ideas, create bonds in Russia
By Amanda Hav
Special to the Kansan
Tom Volek just wants to make friends. And he's going all the way to Russia to do so while working with Russian journalists.
Volek and David Guth, associate professors of journalism, are leaving tomorrow morning for St. Petersburg, Russia, where they will spend 21 days teaching Russians how to create a democratic media.
The U.S. State Department enlisted the pair to go to Russia and discuss advertising, public relations, political and crisis communications, ethics and reporting methods with Russian government officials and private media companies.
liar to state-controlled media in Western Europe. Their journalists have different styles of reporting, so Volek and Guth won't tell them how to do things.
"Russia will build Russia, not us," Volek said.
The first of Volek's Russian missions was in the spring of 1997, when he received a Fulbright grant to teach two professional journalism classes at St. Petersburg State University. Since then he has been invited back three times to conduct journalism workshops and discussions.
Volek said they were willing to take the information and adapt it to their own system.
Media in Russia are state-run and sim-
"Journalists are journalists the world around," he said. "They're curious and they're concerned with where their world is going."
Iryna Rodriguez, Ukraine journalism graduate student, said she thought the outreach efforts were a good idea because both countries could learn from each other.
"I think it's great that there's that kind of exchange of ideas," she said.
Rodriguez said she has seen the media change since the Communist breakdown in 1991 — she said that media now have more press freedom.
“It's still state-controlled, but it's a lot less censored and one-sided,” she said. “There’s more criticism of the government in the media now.”
Volek said this trip is about more than helping to spread democracy, it's an opportunity to improve lives and connect with the Russians.
"We're just trying to be friends," he said.

Two killed during rampage
The Associate Press
WILKINSBURG, Pa. — A gunman who reportedly flew into a rage because of a broken door at his apartment went on a rampage yesterday, shooting a maintenance worker at his apartment and customers at two fast-food restaurants before surrendering to police during a hostage stand-off. Two people were killed and three were critically wounded.
Ronald Taylor, 39. of Wilkinsburg, was arrested in an office building after he kept police at bay for two hours, holding four or five people in wheelchairs hostage at a senior hospice center.
"His mood went from anger to confusion — distraught, fear and remorse," said Sgt. John Fisher, a negotiator for the Pittsburgh SWAT team who talked to Taylor. "He bantered back and forth between killing himself and surrendering."
During the standoff, more than three-dozen children from a third-floor day-care center in the

building were evacuated, along with other workers.
Taylor, who was arraigned last night, was charged with two counts of criminal homicide. The specific charges Taylor may face will be set at a subsequent hearing. No ball was set, and Taylor was not required to enter a plea.
Police said they did not know whether Taylor had a job. He had no prior criminal record, said Detective James Morton.
The shooting spree began about 11:15 a.m. in this working-class suburb with nine miles east of downtown Pittsburgh. Police, responding to a call, followed him

to the restaurants and chased him into the office building.
The Allegheny County coroner's office said the deceased were John Kroll, 55, of Cabot, and Joseph Healy, 71, of Wilkensburg. Only one of the other victims, Richard Clinger, was identified.
Wilkinsburg police Chief Gerald Brewer said two people were dead, and three others were in critical condition in Pittsburgh area hospitals as of last night. At least two of the victims were shot in the head, said doctors at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center-Presbyterian.
Clinger was shot while sitting in his van in the McDonald's parking lot, his stepdaughter said.
"Me and my stepfather were sitting in the truck, and this guy just walked up and started shooting," said Candy Zambo, who was unhurt.
Stolen gun led to school shooting
The Associated Press
MOUNT MORRIS TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The 6-year-old boy who killed a first-grade classmate used a stolen gun he apparently discovered loaded and lying around in a bedroom at the "flophouse" where he was living, investigators said yesterday.
Authorities focused on possible criminal charges against any adults who gave the boy access to the .32-caliber pistol he used to shoot 6-year-old Kayla Rolland on Tuesday morning, a day after the two apparently had scuffled on the playground at Buell Elementary School
The boy is too young to understand what he was doing and probably won't be charged, the prosecutor said.
After the shooting, the boy put the gun in his desk and went to the school office, Superintendent Ira Rutherford said. After police questioned him, the boy busied himself by drawing pictures, Police Chief Eric King said.
"He is a victim in many ways," Genesee County Prosecutor Arthur Busch said. "It is very sad. We need to put our arms around him and love him."
Bush said the house where the boy and his brother were staying with an uncle was frequently by strangers, and the boy's father — who is in jail
— told the sheriff that people at the house traded crack for guns.
The uncle, Sirmarcus B. Winney, was arrested Tuesday night on an outstanding warrant on charges of receiving stolen property and was to be questioned, police said. A second man, who authorities believe once had the gun used in the shooting, turned himself in for questioning.
ing. "It's our understanding from the police investigation that this gun was obtained from a bedroom under
some blankets which had been left laying, apparently loaded, in this bedroom." Busch said.
Investigators also found a stolen 12-gauge shotgun and drugs in the house, the prosecutor said.
Outside the school yesterday, mourners created memorials of candles, flowers and cards for Kayla, who died a half-hour after she was shot once in the chest. Classes were canceled for the day, but counselors were on hand for anyone who needed them.
Police said they had gotten conflicting stories from the young witnesses about what exactly happened inside Room 6. Some said the boy pointed the gun at others first; others said he didn't. Some reported that he said something to Kayla first; others said he said nothing.
Busch said the boy was placed with his maternal aunt after the shooting, and police said he would be put in state custody.

Bill threatens Israel-Syria peace deal
Nabi
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israel's parliament gave preliminary approval yesterday to a bill that could doom an Israel-Syria peace accord or even bring down Prime Minister Ehud Barak's coalition government.
The measure, which raises the percentage of votes needed to win approval of any peace deal in a national referendum to a nearly unattainable amount, could limit Barak's bargaining ability or lead Syria to conclude there is no point in negotiating further.
In a 60-53 vote, lawmakers gave preliminary approval to the Likud opposition bill, which would require an absolute majority of eligible voters in a referendum to approve a peace deal with Syria.
Even with Israel's traditionally high turnout rate of nearly 80 percent, about 65 percent of those actually voting would have to approve the treaty — a highly unlikely result.
Parliament's move came as Deputy Defense Minister
Ephraim Sneh, returning from talks in Washington, said he had a gut feeling that negotiations would resume in a month.
Israel and Syria held two rounds
CAMPAIGNER
of peace talks in the United States in December and January after a nearly four-year break. Syria called off the third round in January, and the talks have not restarted.
The parliament vote showed that a
majority would rather keep the strategic Golan Heights, captured in the 1967 Middle East war, than trade most or all of it for peace with Syria, as of Barak proposes.
Barak: bill threatens his negotiations for peace
Cabinet ministers pledged to bury the bill in committee, but the message was clear — Barak's coalition, designed to ensure approval of peace deals, failed its first real test.
Stitching together a motley coalition with widely divergent views and constituencies, Barak took office last July declaring that his governing team represented a wall-to-wall desire for peace.
Instead, Orthodox Jewish elements and a party of immigrants from the former Soviet Union voted for the Likud attempt to scuttle a peace accord with Syria along Barak's lines.
barak dismissed the importance of his stinging defeat, saying that no parliamentary maneuver would change the fact that the people had elected him to change the reality in the Middle East.
According to a law passed last year, peace accords altering Israel's borders require approval in a referendum. Barak's party said a simple majority of those voting should decide.
Explaining support by his Orthodox Jewish Shas party for the Liked bill, Religious Affairs Minister Yitzhak Cohen said that Syrian President Hafez Assad apparently did not want peace.
Syria is not making their task any easier. While predicting the peace talks would resume, Sneh said that success was not a guarantee.
Sneh complained about frequent Syrian media comparisons of Israel to the German Nazis who murdered 6 million Jews during World War II.
At the same time, Syria encouraged Hezbollah guerrillas to attack Israel soldiers in South Lebanon, he said.
"They want to bring us bleeding to the negotiations," Sneh said in an interview.
Internal Security Minister,
Shlomo Ben Ami, agreed.
"I am more worried about the kind of messages Assad sends to us," he said. "We shouldn't persuade him about the problems of Israeli democracy."
Silvan Shalom, the Likud lawmaker behind the referendum threshold bill, beamed after winning the vote. He said if Barak intended to offer Syria all of the Golan Heights, he would not bring peace, he would not bring security and would not get approval for the agreement.

Jayhawks overcome slow start give seniors final home victory
By Chris Fickett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Lynn Pride wanted a second chance at a play she almost made at Nebraska.
It was in that game where Pride was expecting a lob pass from Jennifer Jackson — a pass that Pride thought she could slam home. But Jackson pulled up and took a jump shot.
Last night at Allen Fieldhouse, Pride, a candidate for the Naismith Female Collegiate Player of the Year award, played her final home game as a Jayhawk. Though she didn't get a fast-break opportunity for a dunk, Pride still put on a display of drives to the basket and assists as the Jayhawks won on senior night, 71-60 against Texas &M.
"I wanted to do something," said Pride, who finished with 20 points — 12 in the second half — and six assists.
"It was the last one, so it was a 'why not' situation — I didn't hold back anything."
And she didn't hold back when she said goodbye to the fans and fieldhouse after the game. After thanking her family and friends, Pride began to cry when she acknowledged coach Marian Washington's support and leadership.
And Coach got choked up too.
And Coach get clenched up again.
"Before the introductions I thought I could do a little bit better than I did," Washington said.
"But it's difficult to not have any emotion when you spend so much time with these players off the court and become such a part in their lives."
That energy from the pregame ceremonies carried into the game, which was not such a great thing for Kansas, which improved to 20-8 and 11-5 in the league.
Texas A&M took a 10-2 lead four minutes into the game and Kansas didn't lead until 9 minutes, 45 seconds remaining in the half. Without "the general" — junior point guard Jennifer Jackson — in the game, Kansas had trouble setting up its half-court offense.
The 'Hawks shot only 31 percent and trailed 25-24 at halftime.
Washington said that the pregame, combined with the shuffle in the starting lineup — reserve senior Heather Fletcher and Casey Pruitt, fourth year junior, got the nod with regular senior starters Pride and guard Suzi Raymant — led to the Jayhawks disorganized first-half offense.

Senior women finish careers in dream game
by the time last night's senior night festivities at Allen Fieldhouse were completed, there was only one thing Lynn Pride regretted about the game.
She didn't dunk.
Sure, she thought about it, and assistant coach Lynette Woodard mentioned it to her when the game's outcome was no longer in doubt. But she never got the perfect breakaway to show off her jumps to the small gathering of Kansas faithful.
"I was thinking about it, to tell you the truth," Pride said. "But it had to be the perfect situation."
Funny; because throwing one down with Chenowithian authority was about all Pride didn't do last night, as she turned senior night from an embarrassment into a game that won't soon be forgotten.
After all, this was an act in desperate need of a leading part, especially after a first half of uninspired, ugly basketball.
Needless to say, nothing went right in the first half for Pride or her Jayhawk teammates, and Texas A&M — one of the Big 12 Conference's worst teams — actually had the audacity to carry a lead into the locker room at halftime.
This was supposed to be Pride's — along with Heather Fletcher's, Suzi Raymant's and Casey Pruitt's — final, emphatic game at Allen Fieldhouse, and some riffraff team from Texas was trying to spoil it.
But, in the opening minutes of the second half, Pride threw away the script. All of a sudden, she, along with seldom-used freshman Kristen May, started running the show. Pride nailed a 16-foot shot to give the Jayhawks their first lead of the half.
She flew down court in typical Pride fashion, slicing through the Aggie defense for a pretty layup, threw a perfect pass to a wide open Rayman for a three pointer two possessions later and went coast-to-coast off another turnover to ruin the Aggies' next possession.
May's stifling defense was responsible for many of the steals, which seldom allowed any Texas A&M guard to cross the half-court stripe with the ball. Just a little senior night magic by the reigning superstar and the up-and-coming freshman, and presto, Kansas transformed a one-point deficit into an eleven-point lead.
In the final act of her Kansas career, Pride stole the show. It was exactly what the Jayhawks needed last night, especially after a first half that nearly turned a senior night party into a serious hangover. Kansas committed 15 turnovers in the opening frame, and simple items at the fieldhouse — such as the shot clock and the Jayhawks' interior
defense — didn't seem to be working. "I was a little stressed out," coach Marian Washington said.

Men's swim team hopes to make more than just a splash against Texas
By Brandon Krisztal
Kansan sportswriter
sports@kansan.com
Some people say that everything is bigger in Texas.
That's appropriate for identifying the task that the winless, 0-7, 0-4, Kansas men's swimming and diving teams face at the Big 12 Conference Championships in College Station, Texas. The three-day meet begins today and the Jayhawks will have their hands full to say the least.
Three of the Javahaws' five opponents are ranked, and the other two received votes in the Top 25 swimming poll. Iowa
Unfortunately for Kansas coach Gary Kempf and his team, the Longhorns are the No. 1 team in the nation at 10-0 and have beaten the second-, third-, fourth- and sixth-ranked teams in the country. Nonetheless, Kempf is optimistic about his team's chances.
State and Missouri, which each received votes, downed the Jayhawks, as did No. 18 Nebraska and No. 15 Texas A&M. The Jayhawks have yet to compete against the remaining ranked team, Texas.
"What I'd really like the guys to do is go out and swim with reckless abandon," he said. "We're better than everybody's seen. I just want us to go in relaxed and
confident and trust what we've been doing."
The team will rely on its seniors to lead by example. Senior Brandon Chestnut took time off for personal reasons during the year, but rejoined the team in January. Chestnut has fared well at the conference meet before in one of his best events, the 100-meter breaststroke.
He has broken his own school record in the event three times. As a freshman he finished third, and as a sophomore and junior, he was the runner-up. Last season, he missed first by 12-hundredths of a second.
"Brandon Chestnut has done a really

good job." Kempf said. "We'd like all our seniors to stand up and help the team. Skip Reynolds and Drew Dischinger should have a good meet and so should Brian Klapper and Andy Kyser."
However, the top point scorers for the team were underclassmen. Sophomore diver Adam Hanhart led the team in dual points with 87, including eight first-place finishes. Freshman swimmer Brian Sori was the team's second leading scorer with 82 dual points and a team high of 14 topthree finishes.

Kyser, one of the team's two senior captains, said that they relished the role of being the underdog.
"We know we've got nothing to lose," he said. "They've got us usped for last, so we're just gonna go out, have fun, swim fast and maybe surprise some people."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 2). This year ponder the past and your future, and you may find a way to shed old fears. You've given up on a tough assignment before. If you don't give up in March, you might achieve mastery. A surprise brings money in April, but it could go just as fast. You'll learn well in May if you follow the rules. In August, the way you should serve should be clear. Heed a loved one's urging in November, but follow your own common sense. A secret about your career is revealed in December. Most of February is best spent planning. The more homework you do, the higher your chances of success.
Aries: Today is a 7.
You and your buddies accomplish quite a lot when you're all on the same track. Set your goals so everybody knows what needs to be done next. You're teaching and learning from each other, and that's good. Minimize travel, though, and keep costs down
Taurus: Today is a 6.
The thing you'll be most successful at can be quite difficult sometimes. This could be one of those days. If you're running into new barriers, that's because you've already gone past all the old ones. Congratulations! Accept coaching from a friend.
Gemini: Todav is a 7.
If anything of yours involves higher education, travel or the law, expect setbacks. Getting your meaning across could be difficult. Be as clear as possible, especially with those who speak different languages. It'll be worth the effort.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
There might be complications with travel again, so take care. If you're in school, you may feel kind of thick-headed. Just review the material again and again. It'll get through, eventually. Don't spend impetuously, either. Take your time and do it right.
Leo: Today is a 5.
How are you and a partner going to spend the money you share? Take a few notes so that there isn't a misunderstanding. Don't let nickels and dimes wreck your friendship. If you're considering a big purchase, little details become even more important.
Virgo: Today is a 5.
You are swamped. There's way too much for one person to do. Your partner doesn't seem to be much help, either. You're in a potentially stressful situation. Do you have a friend who always helps you calm down? Even if it's long distance, call.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
You're pretty lucky, but there could be complications. Better not gamble now; it's not a sure bet. Love should go well, too, especially if you don't get into an argument about money. Emotions are running high, so avoid touchy subjects if you can.
Sagittarius: Today is a 5.
A lot is going on at home. You want to be there, so change things around so you can. Others want your attention, too, of course. You're a popular person! Save time and attention for the folks you love the most
A few things need to be discussed at your house.
A couple of things need to be fixed, too. You know it's a good idea, but you might not know how. You might not want to change, either. Learning new skills will make everything easier.
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
Quite a bit of money could be coming in. This is because you're imaginative and creative and you work hard. It could also be because of a coupon you sent off or taxes you don't have to pay. Don't spend this windfall, however. All might not be as it appears
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You're looking pretty good. You still need to watch your money, however. If a friend is having financial difficulties, recommend a good bank. Don't make a loan yourself; that could lead to trouble. Don't be a borrower, either, by the way.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
C
You're pushed to take care of something important. You've been avoiding it, but that's not a good idea. Don't worry, either. This could be easier than you thought. Just take it one step at a time.

FOOTBALL
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Josh Evans of the Tennessee Titans was shocked to learn he failed an NFL drug test for the third time and plans to appeal his suspension for next season.
Titans' Evans to appeal 2000 season suspension
TI
The defensive tackle said vester-
day that he had been on prescribed medication, including diet pills, and suggested that could account for the positive test
T
"I will not allow the game I love to be taken away from me without a fight," Evans said. "I believe that the NFL, after reviewing all the information, will remove my suspension."
LION
A league source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the NFL suspended Evans for the upcoming season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Only a successful appeal will keep him from missing the 2000 season.
STUDIO 3D
The NFL does not announce suspensions until the appeal process is complete.
The 27-year-old player has been in the league five years and made several big plays during the playoffs to lead to Tennessee's run to the Super Bowl last season.
Mitchell Frankel, Evans' agent, said he did not think the suspension would jeopardize his client's future with the team.
The Titans are prohibited by the league from commenting on suspensions under the substance abuse policy and refused to discuss Evans yesterday.
"I don't see any reason why he would not be part of the Tennessee Titans organization," Frankel said.
LAS VEGAS — David Reid is grateful to a judge. Not one who voted for him in a fight, but one who gave him a chance in life.
In 1993, Reid, a 1996 Olympic gold medalist and the WBA super welterweight champion, was arrested in Philadelphia and charged with dealing crack cocaine.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
WBA champion recalls judge's life message
BOXING
"I was looking at three years (in prison)," Reid said yesterday at a news conference leading to his 154-pound title defense against Felix Trinidad.
"I would have come out not wanting to box," added Reed, a blushing amateur at the time of the arrest. "I would have gone back to the thing I knew, which was selling drugs."
The judge let Reid go, telling him that if he ever saw him in court again he would be going to jail.
Amold Mitchell, the brother of Reid's trainer-manager Al Mitchell, told the judge that Reid was a good man.
Reid heeded the message.
He became a Pan American Games and Olympic champion and won the WBA title in his 12th pro fight. His record is 14-0, with seven knockouts. He has become a major star by beating Trinidad, a Puerto Rican who holds the WBC-IBF weightleave (147 pounds) title.

Today at 9:09 a.m., Compton will become the first heart-transplant recipient to compete on the PGA Tour.
"Deep down inside when I go to bed every night, I'm not thinking so much about the golf," he said. "I am with somebody else's heart. I think about how somebody is not here, and I am here right now. That's what keeps driving me to do better."

But he received a sponsor's exemption to Doral not just because he has a new heart, but because he can play — a three-time Miami high school player of the year, the top-ranked junior in the year 1998.
He has done plenty well already.
"I know he can make the cut," said Jim McLean, Doral's teaching pro and Compton's personal coach. "I will be very surprised if Erik doesn't play well."
Compton's illness was diagnosed as cardiomyopathy at age 9, a disease that enlarges and attacks the heart. Three years later, he became the youngest heart-transplant recipient at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Elbow surgery to keep Orioles pitcher benched
The Baltimore Orioles had their first big loss of the season before they even played their first exhibition game.
The Orioles found out yesterday that starter Scott Erickson would miss 6-8 weeks with bone chips in his right elbow.
"Hopefully, this won't affect the rest of
Orioles
the starters too much," pitcher Mike Mussina said. "We can only do what we can as individuals." Erickson will have surgery tomorrow and
return to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., during the weekend. He will remain inactive for 7-10 days to allow swelling to subside before beginning his rehabilitation.
"I suspected it had something to do with particles. Sometimes they get lodged and it locks the elbow," said Syd Thrift, the Orioles' vice president of baseball operations.

Dickie V's time has passed.
The mouth that roared is spouting nothing but the same old crap laterly.
All the times he's spewed "Oh baby, he's a PTPer, hitting nothing but nylon, the Trifacta, then the follow and it's jam city, it's awesome baby!" in one exhausting breath have gotten old.
Growing up listening to Dick Vitale, it was obvious he was an integral part to the growth of college basketball. He was a relentless goodwill ambassador who had nothing but enthusiasm for student athletes. If you associated anything with college basketball, it was Vitale and his catch phrases proclaiming the best players in the NCAA.
But, like any colorful announcer, Vitale has grown — if this is possible — too bland for the college game. He's a stagnant old man who talks about his favorites incessantly and annoyingly. Every year Duke and North Carolina rule the Vitale radar screen, while other schools such as UConn and Kentucky receive endless praise. He doesn't pay enough attention to top-ranked teams like Tennessee, LSU and Temple.
Even Kansas, which Vitale seems to think rules the Big 12 Conference despite whoopings by Texas and Oklahoma State, gets praise when it isn't deserved.
During Monday's game against Texas, Vitale lauded coach Roy

Williams for the miraculous job he's done with this year's Kansas team. He said the talent the 'Hawks have was the worst Williams has ever had.
Excuse me? Maybe the Jayhawks have received some harsh criticism this season, but by no means has this been a miraculous coaching job. With five McDonald's All Americans, plus standout Drew Goren, there's no way this has been an outstanding coaching job. In December, when Vitalte watched Kansas smoke Ohio State, he proclaimed the Jayhawks to be unbe livable.
If he wants to change his mind that's fine, but some kind of consistency would be nice.
Love him or loathe him, Dick Vitale has grown too big for the game of basketball — a man engulfed by his own myth.
The Hoops Malone commercials on ESPN make things even worse. They are take-offs on sitcoms like
Full House and Eight is Enough, in which Vitale is presented as a father figure who lives for basketball. Four or five years ago those ads would have been great.
Now — and of course they purposefully poke fun at Vitale and lame '70s sitcoms — they're a sorry excuse for an ad campaign. Happy Action Fun Time with its crude cartoons and obnoxious music last year was bad, but Hoops Malone is even worse.
When Vitale starts talking about Hoops Malone in his broadcasts like the ads are incredible and inventive, then something is wrong. He's bought into his own, old absurd myth.
And that's the sad part.
Vitale still has plenty to offer the college game, but he would be better served as an ambassador or administrator whose role is to endure athletes and schools. After all, that's what he does best. He certainly doesn't do color analysis anymore. It's all about who he talked to before the game, yapping about other schools besides the ones playing.
Vitale needs to do what he does best — endless enthusiasm — or find something else.
He's an old man who can't let go of the past image that the world fell in love with.

"We knew it was going to be an emotional event complicated by finding a clock that would work," she said of the malfunctioning shot clock, which was fixed shortly before halftime. While the clock was out, the public address announcer shouted out the shot clock time.
Kansas' full-court pressure, however, was effective against the Aggies throughout the second half. The Hawks opened with a 20-5 run in which Pride scored eight points.
Texas A&M didn't submit to the pressure entirely. The Aggies were able to cut Kansas' lead to five points with 5:27 left with a basket from forward Jaenetta Saunders, who scored a team-high 15 points.
But Pride saved her best for last — launching a long pass to junior forward Jaclyn Johnson for a layup, and converting a tipped ball by reserve freshman Kristen May to a three-on-one break that junior forward Brooke Reves, who scored 19 points, finished
But Pride still was looking for that dunk.
with a lavup.
"I was thinking about it at the end of the game, a situation where I could do it. It's always a possibility; it all depends on how the game goes," she said.
She might get that chance when Kansas opens play in the Big 12 Conference tournament on Wednesday.

enough of a problem, the shot clock stopped functioning with 10:59 to go in the half. Public address announcer Pat Dieckhaus and her trusty stopwatch informed the teams of the time remaining on the clock. When the clock hit 15 seconds, Dieckhaus would start the countdown. The only problem being she was too busy looking at her watch to notice if a shot had gone up, so the teams were often well into the next possession while Dieckhaus was still counting down.
"That made things kind of
Also, during a first-half timeout, a child ran onto the floor — a regulating Big Jay quickly whisked the child away. No reports are in yet if the child is related to the same nincampoo who jogged on the court for last season's men's senior night to shake Ryan Robertson's hand.
It was a dire situation, indeed. But just when things seemed bleakest for the screaming fans—the ones who didn't run onto the floor—the players in the Kansas huddle and Dieckhaus, Pride played hero once again.
Afterward, Pride said a tearful
goodbye to the Jayhawk fans. But because of her second half effort, she was crying tears of joy instead of sorrow.
Raymant, whose mother traveled literally across the world for this game, put the whole night in perspective after the game.
"The whole day has been like a daydream," Raymant said.
Thanks to Pride and her second-half heroes, it didn't turn into a nightmare.

Kansas swingers rusty in first tourney
By Michael Terry

Eleven wasn't lucky for the No. 24 Kansas men's golf team earlier this week at the Cleveland-Southwestern Intercollegiate in Westlake Village, Calif.
It was the first tournament of the year for the 'Hawks, and the 26-team field was loaded with 11 of the top 40 teams in the country including No. 5 Arizona State Sun Devils, No. 7 Brigham Young Cougars and No. 8 Stanford Cardinals.
Kansas entered the tournament without the skills and senior leadership of Brad Davis, who is still recovering from a fall last April from a second story balcony at a local apartment complex.
ing. They shot a combined 890 for the 54-hole tournament and finished in 11th, 34 shots off the pace set by Arizona State.
"We just didn't hit the ball that well," Randall said. "Traditionally, we start off pretty slow because we're going against teams that can play year round."
Junior Conrad Roberts said he was both pleased and disappointed with his play at the tournament.
"There were times when I played really well, and a few holes that I played really bad that help to contribute to my second round 11 over par 82," Roberts said. "For most of the teams, this was already their second or third tournament of the year. It was our first tournament of the year, and we just need to get out and play some rounds of golf to hopefully work off the rust."
Roberts said he is looking forward to the next tournament in two weeks in Louisiana because

Pride sparks her team on emotional final night
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
To put together a 71-60 win against Texas A&M, Kansas needed a little senior Pride.
In what was most likely her last night at Allen Fieldhouse, senior forward Lynn Pride turned it up a notch in the second half, scoring 12 of her 20 points and leading the Jayhawks back from a one-point halftime deficit.
But her biggest contributions could not be seen on the scoreboard. Pride also had seven rebounds, six assists, six steals and a blocked shot.
"I knew something had to happen," Pride said. "There had to be a spark. In a situation like that, I like to make things happen rather than wait for someone else to do it."
basket, but for Washington. Senior Night was more important than an early lead.
The game got off to a slow start when Kansas coach Marian Washington started senior Heather Fletcher and fourth-year junior Casey Pruitt instead of Jennifer Jackson and Brooke Reves. Pruitt decided not to return for her senior year. It took Kansas six minutes to score its second
"I changed the whole lineup," Washington said. "I knew we would get off to a slow start, but I just prayed we would get back in it. It was very important for Casey Pritt and Heather Fletcher and, of course, Lynn and Suzi."
Even though neither Fletcher nor Pruitt scored any points, Pruitt said the night was very meaningful for her.
"I'm sad it's over, but it's time for me to move forward," Prutu said. "It was a tough game, but it was good to see the team come together in the end. I'm just so thankful for the coaches. They really stuck by me through my knee problems when they could have told me to give up basketball."
Pregame ceremonies honored the four players and their families including Suzi Raymant's mother who flew from Australia to be here.
"I was sad, but I think she was more sad than I was," Raymant said. "It was great to have her there. It really hasn't hit me yet because there is so much left that we have to do."
The evening ended with each senior addressing the crowd and saying thanks to all the people that had helped them through their basketball careers, and Pride concluded with a tearful goodbye to her coach.
"Coach, what can I say," Pride said. "You were my mom away from home. I don't know what I would have done without you."
Washington could not hold in her emotions either.
"I thought I could do better than in the past, since I have done this for 27 years," Washington said. "I have never been able to keep from being emotional, especially after you have spent four years with them. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes as you help them through things. There have been some really special moments with each of these kids."
The night had it all; a close first half, a strong second half and an emotional finish. The only thing missing was a dunk from Pride.
"I thought about it after the Wood (assistant coach Lynette Woodard) put it in my head," Pride said. "I would like to do it, but it would have to be the perfect situation."
Women's senior golfer leads team to best finish
By Michael Terry

Kansan sportswriter
For senior Sue Tessary, the golf tournament earlier this week in Pinehurst, N.C., was definitely something to write home about.
Tessary helped lead the women's golf team to its highest finish — fifth place out of 26 teams — since coach Nicole Hollingsworth took the helm in the fall. The Jayhawks finished fourth at the Utah Dixie Classic last April.
A number of Jayhawks recorded personal bests at the event, including Tessary who finished in a two-way tie for second, shooting a combined 152, one stoke off the pace of individual champion Jan Dowling of Kent State. This was Tessary's highest finish during her four year career at Kansas.
Tessary said that she didn't realize how good a round of golf she had played until she finished the first round and got a chance to look at what the other golfers shot.
"It was a pretty awesome feeling, and I don't think I could have
putted any better considering the difficulty of the greens." Tessary said. "My performance in this tournament is something I will look back to in the future and draw on."
Tessary wasn't the only Jayhawk to experience success in North Carolina. Sophomore Ashley Bishop shot her two best rounds of the season en route to a four-way tie for fourth, her career best.
Bishop said that overall she played pretty steady and stayed composed throughout the entire tournament.
"Our team was really excited, and we knew we had a chance to finish well," she said. "It was hard though. Every team we went head to head with we beat, but the ones who were behind us to start the day are the ones that finished ahead of us in the end."
Bishop said that the team was very confident right now, and hopefully it would be able to surprise some teams at the Big 12 Conference Championships in April.

"This was probably our most solid tournament as a team from front to back we've played in a while," Hollingsworth said. "Pinehurst is a tough course to play, but we still need to work on our short game to continue to be successful."

Baseball
Braves' reliever gets time relief
Baseball arbitrator cuts suspension, fine
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — John Rocker's suspension was cut in half to the first 14 days of the regular season, allowing him to report to the Atlanta Braves' spring training camp today.
Shyam Das, making his first decision as baseball's independent arbitrator, also cut Rocker's $20,000 fine to $500 in a decision announced yesterday.
"I think it's fair," Braves pitcher Tom Glavine said. "It allows him some of spring training to get ready for the season. ... If not, you run the risk of John ruining his career. No one wants that. That would be unfair."
The reliever, punished for disparaging foreigners, homosexuals and minorities in a magazine interview, is expected to address teammates today in Kissimmee, Fla., then hold a news conference.
Rocker originally was suspended for all 45 days of spring training and the first 28 days of the regular season by commissioner Bud Selig.
"I disagree with the decision," Selig said. "It does not reflect any understanding of or sensitivity to the important social responsibility that baseball ... has to the public. It completely ignores the sensibilities of those groups of people
maligned by Mr. Rocker and disregards the player's position as a role model for children."
Atlanta city councilman Derrick Boazman, leader of a coalition of minority groups that has called for the Braves to release Rocker, also was unhappy with the decision.
Former NL president Len Coleman, who had been the sport's top minority official, echoed that view.
"Hate and bigotry and homophobia and racism have a place, evidently, and that place is in major league baseball," he said.
"Baseball must be a socially responsible institution," he said. "The arbitrator's ruling undermines the disciplinary system and sends precisely the wrong message."
Braves general manager John Schuerholz, who noted there was interest from other teams in acquiring Rocker, said Atlanta was prepared to accept Rocker back.
"We don't anticipate there will be a problem," he said. "I think John realizes he needs to mend his place in this team with his teammates."
In his Jan. 31 decision, Selig said Rocker's comments in a December issue of Sports Illustrated offended practically every element of society.
Rocker will wind up missing the first 13 days of spring training and, if no games are postponed by weather, the first 12 games of the regular season. Atlanta's
"I think this is good all the way around," Braves reliever Rudy Seanez said. "Everybody is ready to get past it and move on."
first game after the suspension is against Philadelphia at Turner Field on April 18.
Rocker told the magazine he would never play for a New York team because he didn't want to ride a subway train next to a homosexual with AIDS. He also mocked foreigners and called a Latin teammate a "fat monkey."
Randall Simon, who thinks he was the target of Rocker's "fat monkey" comment, said yesterday that he is ready to forgive.
"If he comes to me and apologizes, everything will be all right," Simon said. "He's one of my teammates. Everybody makes mistakes."
Simon said he hopes Rocker will address the team as a whole, as well as offer him a personal apology.
Brian Jordan, another of Rocker's harshest critics, said Rocker has to change his ways.
"He has to be more mature dealing with certain situations and dealing with his teammates," Jordan said. "He has to learn to control his anger. I think that's a big reason he said what he said."
The players' association filed a grievance against Selig, arguing the penalty was too great when compared with past discipline by the commissioner's office. The union repeatedly has succeeded in convincing arbitrators to overturn or reduce suspensions.
TAMPA, Fla. — For the third time in 10 years, Darryl Strawberry is taking a side trip to a treatment center, hoping he can get help for the cocaine problem that ended his season before it ever began.
The New York Yankees slugger disclosed his plans yesterday, two days after commissioner Bud Selig suspended him for one year.
The Associated Press
Yankee checks himself into rehab
"By the time you read this statement, I
have checked myself into a drug rehabilitation clinic, where I intend to be for the foreseeable future," Strawberry said in a release faxed to the team's spring training office by his agent.
NY
"My goal is to take control of my drug addiction once and for all, and I believe this step is required in order to do so," Strawberry said.
It was his first comment since the penalty, the third drug-related suspension of Strawberry's career. Selig did not make any provision for the troubled star to return early for good behavior.
The statement, sent by agent Eric Grossman, does not detail where Strawberry is having treatment. A baseball source, speaking on the condition he not be identified, said the center was in Florida but not in the Tampa area.
Strawberry thanked his teammates, manager Joe Torre, owner George Steinbrenner, the entire Yankees organization and his doctors for support, love, understanding and hope.
"I also want to say to the fans everywhere, many of whom I certainly understand are disappointed and perhaps even angry at me, I will work everyday of my life to restore the belief you have had in me," he said.
In 1990, Strawberry entered the Smithers Center in New York for alcohol rehabilitation. And in 1994, he spent 28 days at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., for treatment of a substance abuse problem.
Strawberry's latest suspension has been the talk all week at Yankees' camp. David Cone, perhaps the Yankees player closest to Strawberry, voiced feelings of regret on Tuesday.
"I'm extremely depressed," the pitcher said. "It's tough watching close friends stumble again."
While they hope he can come back next year, his teammates know there's a chance the eight-time All-Star — who turns 38 in two weeks — might be done in baseball.
The two-time World Series champions hoped Strawberry would be their main designated hitter this season. He is a career .259 hitter with 335 home runs and 1,000 RBI.
It was revealed last week that Strawberry had failed a cocaine test in January. A day later, baseball ordered him off the practice field. Strawberry has not been at camp since that morning.

Traffic court suspended to evaluate appeal process
By BriAnne Hess
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Pleading with the traffic court to get out of a parking ticket will not be an option for at least a couple of days.
Traffic court was suspended until the University Senate Executive Committee meets Tuesday to assess the traffic codes and the traffic court system, said Donna Hultine, assistant parking director.
She said that the parking department still would accept appeals but that all pending in-house appeals would be rescheduled. She said that anyone who had turned in a written appeal still would be considered, but she did not know when they would be ruled on.
"We're kind of checking our p's and q's," Hultine said. "SenEx needs to be assured that the code is being followed."
Aaron Breitenbach, Hutchinson law student, is chief justice of the appellate traffic court. He said his position was one of the ad hoc elements that had been added since the traffic court was created during the 1970s.
"It's a mutual deal," Breitenbach said. "We agreed to be suspended until we meet with SenEx."
Hultine said that the traffic codes were out of date, as well.
He said the main purpose of the suspension was to streamline the policies and procedures of the appeal process.
"Over the years things evolve, and one thing leads to another," she said. "We just want to be in sync with the code and the law students."
Hultine said that the Senate might reinstate the traffic court and form a subcommittee to look at changing the codes.
The University traffic court is composed of law school students who rule on written and in-house traffic appeals.

Hatred fuels border rivalry
Schools' duel runs deeper than politics
By Matt James writer@kansan.com Associate sports editor
The father of Ewing, a Columbia, Mo. junior, didn't move to Cuba instead of Lawrence or anything that extreme, but on Nov. 19, 1988, he cheered for the Soviet Union to beat the Jayhawks in an exhibition basketball game. Ewing's parents, who he said weren't big sports fans, were both University of Missouri alumni.
John Ewing still can't believe his dad chose community instead of Kansas.
And those all-important bragging rights are up for grabs again when Kansas and Missouri face off on the court at 1:05 p.m. Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse. Missouri claimed the first contest of the season with an 81-59 victory on Jan. 22 in Columbia.
Nine years later, their son did the unthinkable - he enrolled at the University of Kansas.
Rooting for a communist state may seem extreme to an outsider. But that, in a nutshell, is the Kansas-Missouri rivalry: where age, race, religion and politics don't mean a thing. What matters to these fans is beating the other school.
But Kansas fans are eager for a rematch. And even in this age of political correctness, fans of both teams say hate isn't too strong a word.
"it's fun to hate Kansas," said Missouri senior Carin Huffman. "Everybody's got
"It's fun to hate Kansas. Everybody's got their rival, and they're ours. When we play them, thats when school spirit is at its peak."
Carin Huffman Missouri senior
Then, in February 1999, former Kansas basketball player and Missouri native Ryan Robertson had Missouri fans gritting their teeth when he spit on the "State of Missouri" logo on the Hearnes Center floor after a Kansas win.
their rival, and they're ours. When we play them, that's when school spirit is at its peak. You do things you wouldn't normally do. You say things you don't mean." What kinds of things?
In 1997, enraged Kansas students pelted a Missouri student with hot dogs and Cokes as he ran through their section waving a yellow Tigers flag at Memorial Stadium.
And in 1988, Kansas band members said Missouri fans lobbed various objects, including at least one whiskey bottle, at them during the annual football game in Columbia. Mo.

Student injures head in bicycle accident
A KU student was admitted to Lawrence Memorial Hospital last night after suffering a head injury on campus.
The student, whose name was not released, was riding his bike in front of Haworth Hall on Sunnyside Avenue. The student fell and hit his head, said Sgt. Tony Augusto of the KU Public Safety Office.
Another student was driving behind the cyclist and swerved to miss him, Augusto said. The driver avoided the injured student but ran over his bike. Hospital staff would not release details without a name.
Augusto said that the name of the student would be released after parents were notified but that he knew the student was admitted.

KU student's artwork on display in Union
An exhibition in the Kansas Union Gallery is displaying a KU student's artwork through mid-March.
Holly Lane, St. Louis senior, is featured in an exhibition entitled "Figurative Expressions." The exhibition went on display Monday and will run through March 15.
"They're abstract compositions that are referenced from the future." Lane said.
Lane said her paintings focused on the human body. She described her work as mixed-media compositions.
Lane will talk about her works at a reception from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Sunday in the gallery.
To accomplish an abstract effect, Lane said she used materials such as cardboard, paper, tar, fiberglass, hair and paint.

Teen kills sheriff, dies in shootout in Hiwatha
Deputy Todd Widman had responded to a call Wednesday night from a motorist who saw a teen walking along a state highway in Hiwatha in northeast Kansas. The motorist apparently believed the boy was suspicious or was a runaway, Shoemaker said at a news conference.
HIWAHATH — A teen-age boy fatally shot a deputy sheriff and died in a shootout with officers who tracked him down, authorities said yesterday.
Widman was shot and radioed for help, Brown County Sheriff Lamar Shoemaker said yesterday. He died later at a hospital.
More than 50 officers converged on the scene in response to Widman's call. The boy was found a short time later near the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store, and fired several shots on officers before he halted. Shonayev said
A half-hour later, authorities cornered the boy in a field. He came out of nearby woods and fired on three officers, two of whom fired back, killing him, Shoemaker said.

Hate crime suspected in shootings of five men
WILKINSBURG, Pa. — An African-American man accused of killing two people and wounding three in a shooting rampage had anti-White writings in his apartment and singled out Whites during the attack, reassuring a Black woman in his path, "Not you, sister," authorities and witnesses say.
"The general tenor was that he wasn't shooting anybody but Whites," Allegheny County homicide Lt. John Brennan said yesterday as authorities tried to put together a portrait of Ronald Taylor.
On Wednesday, the 39-year-old jobless man reportedly shot a maintenance worker at his apartment building and four other people at two fast-food restaurants in working-class Wilkinsburg. All five victims were White men.
Police planned to bring hate-crime charges against Taylor in addition to the two counts of criminal homicide he already faced. The FBI also was opening a civil rights investigation.

Rescues, help continue for floodwater victims
MAPUTO. Mozambique — With a rescue helicopter hovering overhead and floodwaters below, Sophia Pedro gave birth to a baby girl in a treetop she had sought refuge in four days earlier, one of as many as 1 million people made homeless in this southeast African nation.
An hour later, Pedro and her daughter were rescued after a medic lowered from a helicopter pulled the two to safety. They were among 915 people plucked from the floodwaters in central Mozambique on Wednesday by South African helicopters.
Wednesday's rescue came as thousands more Mozambicans remained stranded in trees, on rooftops or on islands of land. Thousands more were feared dead in flooding that had devastated the country, one of the world's poorest.
With the arrival of more aid, relief agencies stepped up rescue flights and efforts to get supplies to people they could not rescue yesterday.

Kansas-Missouri feud causes bitter feelings
Continued from page 1A
And then last fall, Missouri had to pay for two silk Kansas flags that the Missouri football team trampled at halftime.
Benton Kelly, St. Louis senior, said she liked Missouri until she went to a Kansas-Missouri basketball game three years ago at the Hearnes Center in Columbia. She made the mistake of cheering for the Javahawks.
"They're all animals," she said of the Missouri fans. "Throwing things and yelling at me — being completely obnoxious. Those people aren't from my state; they must recruit from Arkansas."
The feelings are mutual.
"White trash living in trailer houses in a tornado-infested hole" was how Missouri sophomore David Chou said fellow Missouri students described Kansans.
"That's what's happened — it's just grown to incredible proportions," he said. "It started 100 years ago with important stuff like slavery, and now it stays alive through sports."
Indeed, the Kansas-Missouri rivalry has history that goes beyond sports and even the universities themselves — especially at the border town of Kansas City, where fans and alumni must live with the enemy, said Tom
"They're all animals. Throwing things and yelling at me being completely obnoxious. Those people aren't from my state; they must recruit from Arkansas."
Benton Kelly St. Louis senior
Hudgens, Kansas City. Mo., senior.
Office buildings become battlegrounds where co-workers blicker about how much their alma matres will win by and decorate the walls with their schools' logos, he said.
"The rivalry doesn't die just because you graduate," Hudgens said. "It gets pretty crazy at some of those businesses."
Sixty-five groups of Kansas students began camping at Allen Fieldhouse on Monday to see Sunday's feud first-hand. And although this rematch is in Lawrence, Missouri fans won't forget about the game.
"I'd love to see my last game as a Missouri student versus Kansas be a win," Huffmar said.

Discrimination lawsuit resting in the jury's hands
By Jim O'Malley writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Cynthia Annett and Ray Pierotti's discrimination and retaliation claims against the University of Kansas went to the jury yesterday, nearly three weeks after the trial began.
The jury began deliberating yesterday afternoon, and it had not returned a verdict by the time the court recessed at 3 p.m.
Annett, a former assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, alleged that the University had denied her tenure because of her gender. She also alleged that the University had retaliated against her for opposing policies she thought would be unfair to female and minority graduate students. Civil rights laws forbid employers to retaliate against employees for opposing discrimination.
In closing arguments yesterday, Alan Johnson, the plaintiffs' attorney, emphasized the department's own numerical rating of faculty in annual reviews. Annett's annual research ratings were higher than those of two male colleagues who were granted tenure.
Pierotti, her husband and an associate professor in the same department, alleged that the University had retaliated against him for opposing the same policies. Pierotti also sued Thomas Taylor, his department chairman, for retaliation.
"But the criteria used for annual reviews are the same as for promotion and tenure," he said.
All Annett wanted, Johnson said, was to be judged under the same standard as her male colleagues.
Barbara McCloud, University assistant general counsel, argued that granting tenure was an important decision about lifetime employment. That's why the University requires outside reviewers when considering tenure, she said, which is not done in annual reviews.
McCloud said Pierotti's retaliation claims were not supported by evidence. She argued that he was a hard person to work with. For example, she said, he called Taylor "a snake in the grass," and compared Sally Frost Mason, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to "a teen-aged girl who changes friends on a daily basis."
Pierotti has a practice of making accusations of discrimination when he doesn't get what he wants, McCloud said.
"Both Dr. Annett and Dr. Pierotti are adults," McCloud said. "They educated

professionals. They made their own choices and do not like the consequences. They want the University to pay, they want Dr. Taylor to pay. The University and Dr. Taylor respectfully request that you make Dr. Annett and Dr. Plerotti take responsibility for their own choices. There is no evidence of discrimination. There is no evidence of retaliation."
Johnson told the jury to send a message to the University that it should discriminate. He asked the jury to send a message to Annett that she was a good professor who was denied her dream.
Earlier in the week, Johnson's crossexamination of University officials brought out evidence that the department of ecology and evolutionary biology had not enrolled any minority graduate students after it adopted the policies Annett and Pierotti had opposed in 1997.
Taylor testified Wednesday that he had not discriminated or retaliated against either Annett or Pierotti.
"As chairman of the department, a lot of things have been pinned on you," McCloud said while questioning Tavlor.
Taylor said his only goal was to make the department the best. That was why he recommended Pierotti for tenure even though he was a difficult colleague to work with, he said. Other witnesses also testified that Pierotti was a difficult colleague.
Taylor denied suggestions that he had rigged the tenure process against Annett by choosing unfavorable outside reviewers and making unfounded charges of academic misconduct.
He testified that the conflict in the department was taking a toll on his health. He said he had high blood pressure and was taking anti-depressants and stomach medication
Communication, unity goals of campus events
Women's history to be recognized
By Ryan Blethen writer@kansan.com Kanson staff writer
The celebration of Women's History Month begins Sunday at the University of Kansas with a panel discussion and ends with a concert.
Anneliese Stover, Overland Park sophomore and co-organizer of Women's History Month at the University, said the celebration provided an opportunity to unite women across campus.
"We're hoping to get a lot of women from across campus to celebrate Women's History Month," she said.
The goal of the University's celebration is to get women on campus to communicate with each other, said Christie Garton. Olathe junior and co-organizer.
"I think the main goal for our activities is communication and to bring women together." Garton said.
Natalie Lucas, Kansas City, Mo. junior and president of the Black Student Union, will sit on Sunday's panel. She said topics of discussion would be

women as leaders and breaking down the barriers between minority and Caucasian women.
Next week, students also will have the opportunity to send postcards to the women who were inspirational in their lives, Garton said. Free postcards will be provided at Wescoe Beach.
Other activities during the month include cooking dinner for retirement home residents and watching a concert.
Women's History Month began as International Women's Day. The first Women's Day was on March 8, 1911. In 1981, Rep. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Uttal) co-sponsored a bill to name the week of March 8, 1987 National Women's History Week. In 1987, the week was expanded into a month. The month of March was chosen because Women's History Week was celebrated in March.

The bike racks were installed on the front of four buses last year. Pirtle said that the racks were capable of holding two bikes but that they rarely did.

issues," Krebs said. "We are still in the development stage."
More attention could be paid to bike rack use next semester, she said.
Krebs said having bike racks on buses was a good idea because it meant students could ride their bikes to a bus stop and ride the bus to a more distant location.
"I really like the idea because it creates a more integrated transportation system," Krebs said.
One of the problems with the bike racks is that they tend to be on buses with quick routes, Krebs said. That means taking the time to load a bike on the front of a bus slows down the routes, she said.
Rachel Molus, Utica freshman, said she thought having bike racks wasn't practical.
"People are always in a hurry, and

Krebs said it was necessary to educate students about the racks.
"What we really need to do is have one of the bike racks on display so they can learn how to use it, but we don't have a location we can use," Krebs said.

Women's athletics still need equality
Kyle Ramsey/KANSAN
University needs to close gaps in coaches' salaries, other amenities
In 1972, Title IX, the federal law that mandates equality in academics and athletics, became a part of college life. It still commands a prominent position today.
Now, 28 years later, the University of Kansas Athletics Department still strives to fulfill not only the letter of the law, but the spirit of Title IX as well. It appears, however, that there is still some inconsistency with the equality the department claims to promote and its implementation.
According to University's Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act reports, coaches for men's teams are being paid an average of $80,871. Their counterparts on the women's side are being paid an average of $60,270. Assistant coaches on the men's side are paid an average of $53,290. The assistants for women's teams are being paid an average of $26,939. While these numbers are skewed by the salaries paid to assistant football coaches, there is still inequality.
It was not until 1994 that the department came up with a plan to become fully compliant with Title IX. The direct results of that plan are the existence of the women's rowing and soccer teams. However, it was not without some pressure that the University complied.
Following a complaint in 1992, the department began making the necessary changes to create equality between men's and women's athletic programs. The University and Bob Frederick, athletics director, do deserve credit. Both have made a concentrated effort to create the identity Title IX demands.
Within the last few years, the women's programs have benefited from this emphasis on women's athletics. A new locker room was built for the women's basketball team, and new softball and soccer stadiums for the respective women's programs are scheduled to be built within the next year. However, as 1992 and 1994 indicated, the athletics department still struggles to implement Title IX. The women's rowing team will be the last Top 25 team in the nation to have its own boathouse.
Frederick has preached equality for some
time now. It is nice to see him allocate funds and equipment to programs that deserve them.
This is a new day and age

Best schools are diverse; we're not among them
Our campus might seem very diverse at first sight. At least the University of Kansas wants us to think so. All the promotional material that it distributes to prospective students claims that our school provides a valuable education to students from all 50 states and from more than 100 countries around the world. The University is portrayed, therefore, as a very diverse institution. However, it is not.
International student enrollment in American colleges and universities increased by 5.1 percent for the 1997-98 school year, according to Open Doors, an
HAR REPORT published by the Institute of International Education, the leading non governmental agency in the international exchange of people and ideas. Total enrollment has reached 481,280, according to the report.
The institute affirms that the city with the most international students is New York City, with 29,855 enrolled in Fall 1998. The states with the most international students were California.

New York, Massachusetts, Texas and Florida. While the international student community at other colleges in the United States is increasing, KU international student enrollment is experiencing just the opposite. It has decreased consistently since 1994. This should be a concern for the entire KU community.
According to data provided by KU International Student Services, the University officially has 1,477 international students this semester. That is about 5 percent of all students enrolled at the University. These numbers show a huge decline in the total number of international students enrolled at the University in previous years. The University had 1,526 international students in Fall 1998, 1,607 in 1997 and 2,067 in 1994, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
According to U.S. News and World Report,
international students comprise 9 percent of the student body at universities such as the University of California at Berkeley, the top public university in the United Sates. They also make up a large part of institutions such as the California Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Johns Hopkins University and University of Pennsylvania. And all of those universities are among the top 10 in the country, according to recent rankings also published by U.S. News and World Report.
Having students from abroad on campus is rich and complete because American students can interact with other cultures and beliefs without leaving the country. You can share experiences and concerns with international students about different aspects of academics and life. This allows for mutual growth that benefits more than just individuals. It enriches the University community as a whole.
By attracting more international students, the University also would create a source of more funds. According to the Open Doors report, more than three-quarters of universities receive most of their funding from sources outside of the United States. But our school needs to provide an environment that is more friendly to international students. Otherwise, they will continue to go to Berkeley or New York. This shouldn't be allowed to happen.
The University Senate's International Affairs Committee, of which I am a member, is trying to improve the conditions of international students by identifying their concerns and reporting those to the University Senate Executive Committee. But that alone is just the beginning because we cannot do anything to ensure that the committee's findings will be analyzed and enforced by the University. Administrators need to realize that international students are as important as the visits of Archbishop Desmond Tutu or the activist Rigoberta Menchú.
The University is doing a poor job recruiting international students. It is time to change that so that all KU students can get a better education.

Flying the Confederate flag is offensive, should be banned
Most people are aware that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is protesting the display of the Confederate flag above the South Carolina capitol. Expect the protests to continue and eventually spread.
While South Carolina flies the Confederate flag along with its state flag and the U.S. flag, Georgia and Mississippi feature the Confederate flag as part of their state flags. I expect the NAACP protests to spread to Georgia. and

Mississippi.
But the Confederate flag is not just a southern issue. It is also an issue in Topeka, where the case that ended school segregation began.
Topeka has enacted a policy banning city employees' cars featuring racist or sexist symbols or messages from being parked
M. BALKAR
being parked at work sites or in employee parking lots.
The Confederate flag also became a national political issue in the South Carolina presidential primary, and both George W. Bush and John McCain ducked the question. Both said that the people of South Carolina should decide for themselves whether to fly the flag.
Bush took the stance that it was a local matter about cultural heritage rather than a national matter about race. He didn't want to talk about the flag.
According to a Sept. 7, CNN report, Bush said, "My advice is for people who don't live in South Carolina to butt out of the issue. The people of South Carolina can make that decision."
It's time for a little bit of "What would George and John do?" And that's George Washington. In 1860, would they have said that the people of the South could decide for themselves whether to have slaves? Would George have said abolitionists should butt out?
In the 1930s, would they have said that the people of Germany could make their own decisions as to what they could do with Jews? In the 1950s and 1960s, would they have said that the people of Mississippi and Alabama could decide if African Americans should be forced to sit in the back of the bus, attend separate schools, use separate bathrooms and separate drinking fountains and adhere to all the other segregationist ideas?
People might say, "Oh, but the flag is different — it's just a symbol, not an action."
That does not obscure the fact that displaying the Confederate flag is offensive. It brings to mind the defense of slavery and resistance to integration. It says to African Americans, "Remember the way things were? We don't like you, and we want you to know it." And it encourages some people to express themselves in offensive ways.
But be aware. African Americans remember the way things were. We are offended, and we want you to know it.
Occasionally, I see Confederate flag decals and license plates on passing
cars. That symbol puts me on my guard. Race is still an issue to some people, even here.
According to the same CNN report, supporters said that the flag represented Southern heritage and honored South Carolinians who died in the Civil War. To them, it's not an odious symbol of a shameful past.
Germany has the right idea about how to deal with the shameful past. It bans neo-Nazi organizations and arrest people. The Hitler era is every bit as offensive as slavery and segregation. Never mind that almost every German has a relative who died in World War II. Germans don't claim to honor their dead by displaying a symbol associated with Nazism. In Germany, it's extremely unpopular to display the swastika. Not many children anywhere are named Adolf, and almost no one wears a Hitler-style paintbrush moustache.
We need to deal with our shameful past in the same way. How can anyone actually be proud of slavery and those who fought to support slavery as an economic system? Sure, they were someone's ancestors and they are dead, but their mistakes should be acknowledged.
Nobody has the right to try to scare people with the memory of the past, a past when hooded Ku Klux Klanmen, descendants of Confederates, could lynch African Americans and expect to get away with it. Borrowing from the rock group Steely Dan, "Those days are gone forever — over a long time ago."

Feedback
There is some degree of religion to our programming. However, we would never ask Student Senate to finance a program that would promote the religious facet of Judaism.

Student Jewish group is cultural, not just religious
In response to the recent debate about funding for religious programs, I would like to state that the KU Hillel Foundation is as much a cultural organization as a religious one.
There is a clear distinction between what constitutes a religion and what comprises a culture. The Holocaust is a historical event that certainly is part of Jewish cultural history. A speaker that could tell his tale of going through the Holocaust allows for that part of our culture and world history to be taught firsthand to future generations so that this atrocity may never happen again. Providing Senate funding for a Holocaust survivor would be the same as providing money to the Black Student Union for a speaker about the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

ion, is that the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship's plea for money in front of Senate came across using extremely religious tokens. As was noted in a letter last week, the speech delivered by the group clearly crossed the line between a legitimate claim for advancing academic thought and pushing religious ideals.

Forum looks at pregnancy, child care services
By Warisa Chulindra
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Although the University of Kansas has resources available to pregnant students and students with children, those who need these services often don't know they exist.
This was the concern voiced by pregnant students and students with children last night at the pregnancy resource forum sponsored by KU Students for Life. About 20 people attended the program at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union
The forum was part of a college outreach program of Feminists for Life, a national, non-profit organization that looks to eliminate the causes that lead women to get abortions.
The goal of the forum was not to have a debate on abortion, but to examine campus resources available to pregnant students and students with children and how to improve them, said Serrin
Foster, executive director of Feminists for Life and moderator.
The panel consisted of representatives from Watkins Memorial Health Center, Counseling and Psychological Services, Birthright, Hilltop Child Development Center, the Office of Student Financial Aid, the Department of Student Housing and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"We believe no woman should be forced to decide between her career and her family." Foster said. "We do not expect to have all the answers tonight. This is a blueprint of progress."
When LaShawna Harris, Topeka senior and panelist, came to the University as a freshman, she had an 8-month-old daughter. Even though she saw other students with children and pregnant students, Harris said she felt isolated. She said she didn't know what resources were available.
"I found everything on my own," Harris said. "This campus is for traditional students. You

can't make it up here without a support system. Get a support system. Get someone to talk to."
"I've been to schools that would be envious." Foster said.
After listening to panel members share the services their departments offered pregnant students and students with children. Foster said she was impressed with the comprehensive services the University offered.
Accommodations can be made for pregnant women to stay in residence halls, and child care services are available on campus, said Randy Timm, assistant director of the Department of Student
Housing
And in many programs, KU students have priority over faculty, said Pat Pisani, a representative from Hilltop Child Development Center.
Foster said the next step would be making students more aware these resources existed. She recommended that information be put on the University Web site or in the student handbook.

Symposium to spotlight variety of student projects
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Everything from robotic feet to Lentic snails to the stock market will be in the spotlight tomorrow at the Kansas Union.
More than 50 students will present their work at the Undergraduate Research Symposium, which runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Kansas Union.
"It's an opportunity for KU undergrads to display their work and show what kind of research they've been working on for the past year," said Barbara Schowen, director of the University Honors Program. "It's just a variety of neat stuff."
The symposium is free and open to the public. Oral presentations of projects begin at 9 a.m. and are scheduled throughout the day until the mid-afternoon.
A poster presentation will be from 11:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m.at the Big 12 room. Each student will stand by a display of their research and will answer questions or talk about their project.
Schowen said that most of the students worked on their projects during the summer and a majority were given a grant by the University of Kansas.
"The majority of them received the KU Undergraduate Research Award," she said. "This means they spent the spring or summer at KU and were given $1,000."
She also said that for many of the students, this project was their senior honors thesls.
Daniel Herring, Rose Hill sophomore, will display his project, a robotic foot, at the symposium.
"I've wanted to do some stuff with robotics since high school," he said.
"Last year in the fall, I realized I had
"Last year in the fall I realized I had enough time to do it. So I approached Arvin Agah [assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science] and asked him about it. He told me no one had really done anything with robotic feet and that I should make it my project, so I did."

enough time to do it. So I approached Arvin Agah [assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science] and asked him about it. He told me no one had really done anything with robotic feet and that I should make it my project, so I did."
Sarah Vossoughi, Lawrence senior, will present her project about the amount of water people drink when they smoke. She said she got the idea from a study that her adviser had done.
"There's a phenomenon when you control the food intake or behavior of animals, they drink more water," she said. "This is called schedule induced polydipsia."
She said she began working on her project last fall.
"It's kind of exciting," she said. "I've never really done anything like this before, but I was in a science fair in elementary school."

Public Safety Office spruces up Web site
By Sara Shepherd writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
By Sara Shepherd
Fake IDs, campus crime, alcohol regulations and emergency phones are just a few of the links Internet surfers will be able to find at http://www.ukans.edu/~ kucops.
The KU Public Safety Office unveiled online improvements to its Web site Tuesday after several months of work.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said the new site was more eye-catching, more in-depth and more easily adjustable to changing campus issues than the original site.
"Our old site was kind of stagnant," said Sgt. Troy Mallen.
"The information that was
there was non-changing, so it didn't encourage people to come back."
Jenny Oakson, Overland Park senior and student Web master, said the Web site incorporated more than just law enforcement issues. Oakson also is the online arts and entertainment editor for kansan.com.
"Because it's the Public Safety Office's site, it goes beyond dealing with police issues to include community and security," Oakson said. "We're really trying to converge all the hats that the Public Safety Office wears into one site."
One of the site's morphing aspects is an issue-of-themonth page.
The first issue of the month features backpack theft. The page offers helpful tips about keeping belongings safe and preventing theft, as well as other related safety pointers.
Mailen said he hoped information on the page would help prompt proactive responses by readers instead of reactive.
"Hopefully students will look at this and put the information to good use," Mailen said.
The site also includes links to crime alerts, various campus, community and law enforcement pages, Kansan articles, the Public Safety Office's annual report, the University's emergency plan, a campus lost and found, crime statistics, and a daily crime log, to name a few.
WEB SITE QUESTIONS
Q: What are the Lawrence and Kansas laws concerning the possession and cultivation of marijuana? What are their penalties?
A: Cultivation is defined as five or more plants, thus the growing of five or more plants would be a violation of State statute 65-4127b which forbids the "...intention to sell, cultivate..." marijuana.
Violation of this law is a Class C felony. The growing of less than five plants would be a violation of the possession law (65-4162). Punishments vary depending on circumstances.
Q: Does KUPD have its own ipi?
A: The KU Police Department does not have its own jail. Any person arrested by the KU Police will be taken to the Douglas County Jail at 11th and New Hampshire for booking and processing. All law enforcement agencies in Douglas County use this facility.
Q: A friend of mine got a stop sign ticket on his bicycle. Is that possible?
A: Yes, that is possible. Bicycles are required to stop at stop signs and to follow all other rules of the road. Failure to do so can result in a citation written through the City of Lawrence Municipal Court.
Jazz Festival to continue with big-name artists
By BriAnne Hess
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Marian McPartland is 83 years old and still jazzing it up and updating her music, said Dan Gailey, director of jazz studies.
The 23rd annual Jazz Festival continues tonight with the Marian McPartland Trio and the University of Kansas Jazz Combo I at 7:30 in the Lied Center. Last night, about 150 people went to the Lied Center to watch M-PACT, an a cappella jazz group that kicked off the festival.
Gailey said that McPartland's music crossed the barriers of music genres because a lot of people who do not know jazz have heard about McPartland.
"Marion is really an icon of the jazz world," Gailey said. "She's been on the forefront for many years in piano jazz."
Chuck Berg, professor of theater and film, will be master of ceremonies for the concerts. He said that McPartland's energy level on stage was fantastic and that if blindfolded, one would be hard-pressed to tell her age or gender.
Berg attributed McPartland's longevity on the jazz scene to music and the arts.
"She's a very uniquely gifted jazz pianist." Berg said. "She has continued to grow through the decades musically by incorporating some of the innovations of modern jazz."
"Music is, in a sense, an artistic fountain of youth," Berg said
The festival will culminate at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow with a
big band performance from internationally known musicians Jim McNeely and Dick Oatts and the KU Jazz Ensemble I. The Drake University Jazz Ensemble I will open.
Berg said that with McNeely as a virtuoso on the piano and Oatts on the saxophone, the ensemble definitely would tip its hat to the standard big band music of Duke Ellington and Count Basie, but there would be a contemporary twist.
"This ain't your mom or dad's big band." Berg said. Ben Tatar, Highland Park, Ill., senior and trombonist in the KU ensemble, said he was a little nervous and excited about performing with such big names in the music business. Tatar said the ensemble's music was different because it was the extreme of modern jazz — complex, compositional and precise.
"As a result of the music we play, we get more of an emotional response from not only the listener, but the performer as well," Tatar said.
Only two of the pieces would not be McNeely's compositions, Tatar said, but the tunes were distinctly unique. Some of the songs will feature Oatts on saxophone and one tune, "Extra Credit," will feature Tatar on the trombone.
Galley said the Lawrence area was a great place for fresh, contemporary jazz.
"Lawrence is a very arts-conscious crowd, and jazz is well-received in the community." Galley said.
Tickets for tonight's show are $10 for students and $15 for the public. Tickets for tomorrow's show are $8 for students and $12 for the public.
Piano Teacher
Marian McPartland, an 83-year-old jazz pianist, will take the Lied Center stage tonight as the 23rd annual Jazz Festival continues. The Festival will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will continue tomorrow night when the KU and Drake University jazz ensembles will also play. Contributed art

Boosting membership goal of GTA coalition
By Karen Lucas
Members of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition will knock on lots of doors between now and the end of the semester.
For several days each month, union members will visit the offices of graduate teaching assistants in different buildings on campus in an effort to land new recruits, organizers said. They also said the Kansas Association of Public Employees, GTAC's parent union, would take part in the office visits.
"This is a really crucial semester for us because we have to open contract negotiations by June 1," said Ophra Leyser, president of GTAC and graduate teaching assistant in Hebrew. "We'd like to boost our membership. The stronger the union we are, the better chance we have of getting more benefits for a second contract."
This semester, about 15 percent, or 138 of the 911 GTAs teaching on the Lawrence campus this semester, pay union dues, said Ola Faucher, director of Human Resources.
Leyser said she hoped GTAC would raise its membership to 30 percent by the time it negotiated its next contract.
Molly Dingel, secretary of GTAC and GTA in sociology, said that each union benefited from the joint effort.
In an earlier organizing drive in Wescoe Hall, GTAC and KAPE recruited about 10 new members, said Greg Douros, chairman of GTAC's organizing committee and GTA in Spanish.
us to learn how to organize better, and it's an opportunity for them to learn what really happens on campuses and how GTAs differ from other public employees," Dingel said.
"It is an opportunity for"
Kevin Greenwood, GTA in East Asian languages and culture, recently joined GTAC.
"I joined the union because I was concerned about health insurance, and I wanted to give the union some more support," he said.
Like many other GTAs, Greenwood is not eligible for the health insurance. He has not held a half-time appointment for two consecutive semesters. The Kansas State Employees Health Care Commission sets those eligibility rules, said Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost.
Leyser said GTAC hoped to seek coverage for more GTAs in its next contract.
However, for various reasons, not all GTAs plan to 'allow Greenwood's lead and join the union.
"I don't think I could put a amount of time in to benefit the union," said John Reink, GTA in computer science.
Leyser said that because GTAC was a volunteer organization, it was hard to keep a large base of active members.
Stewart Hunt, GTA in mathematics, said he was not interested in joining because he had a negative opinion of unions in general and because he thought the dues were high.
A GTAC member with a half-time appointment or more pays $12.50 per month, and a member with less than a half-time appointment pays $6.25, Leyser said.

Student urges others to donate blood
By Jessin Mover
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
"it's kind of like a bad dream now." Annie Hendricks said thinking back to her freshman year at the University of Kansas.
That bad dream was more like a recurring nightmare. In the fall of 1996, doctors told Hendricks, Clinton, Mo, senior; that she had leukemia.
When the school year ended, Hendricks went to the University of Nebraska School of Medicine in Omaha, Neb. She said she underwent chemotherapy there and received unit after unit of blood transfusions to keep her platelet and hemoglobin levels up while her immune system rebuilt.
age, was.
The nightmare continued when Hendricks was told that no one in her family was a bone marrow match. But a stranger, who was about her own
"You can't even express how much you appreciate someone like that," Hendricks said of the bone marrow donor she met last fall. "He is a really good guy who did this amazing thing for me."
The transplant, which was performed in June 1997, was a complete success, and her body had only minor reactions to the new marrow.
"I feel great n o w . " Hendricks said. "It's in remission, and I feel like I did before."

will give students the opportunity to give blood and be the stranger that could save someone's life — an opportunity Hendricks said she hoped a lot of students would take.
The Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association, Association of Residence Halls and All
Scholarship Hall Council are sponsoring a blood drive that will begin Monday and run throughout the week.
Katy Ferrell, Solomon sophomore and Panhellenic appointed officer for the blood drive, said it would not include bone marrow donor testing.
The blood collected next week will go to people such as Hendricks who require fresh, clean blood while they undergo medical procedures, said Judy Green, donor resources development consultant at the Lawrence branch of the American Red Cross.
"There is no substitute for blood," she said. "The risks are minimal and the benefits are substantial."
Hendricks, who said she would donate blood if she could, said she realized that people might be wary of the process.
"I know a lot of people are scared to do it" Hendricks said. "But you have to always think, 'What if it were you?'

KU Med professors lecture legislators on consequences of smoking
By Katrina Hull
By Katrina Holl
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — Legislators received a dose of cigarette smoking warnings from the University of Kansas School of Medicine yesterday.
Two professors gave presentations on the consequences of smoking to the House Health and Human Services Committee and Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee.
The lectures were samples of the Mini Medical School; that the Med Center offered
last fall. The Mini Medical School, offering seminars on different health issues, was held in its full form on Tuesday evenings for eight weeks in Kansas City.
"The Mini Medical School is community outreach that gives public insight into the world of medicine," said Mary Beth Gentry, the school's assistant dean for external affairs.
Yesterday's insight included slides showing the inside of a lung blackened and diseased from cigarette smoking.
Jasit Ahluwalia, associate professor of preventative and internal medicine, told legislators that cigarettes contained more than
Ahluwalia said lung cancer now killed more people than any other form of cancer.
4. 000 chemicals and poisons, including chemicals found in rocket fuel, moth balls and paint thinner.
Amy O'Brien, associate professor of medicine, spoke about iron build-up in lungs from smoking and air pollution. Too much iron in the lungs leads to lung disease, she said.
"Whatever the tobacco industry tells you, basically it's not true," he said. "For women, lung cancer has surpassed breast cancer. People talk about a war on breast cancer, but they don't talk about a war on lung cancer — and it's a preventable disease."
"The best way to stop lung disease is cessation of smoking," O'Brien said. "You have to stop the delivery of iron to the lung."
State Sen. Rich Becker (R-Lenexa) said he was fascinated with the presentations, but he suggested one addition.
"As a former smoker of three packs a day, your reasons to quit smoking are correct," Becker said. "But you didn't mention that your clothes smell like smoke or the burn holes that you can get in your tie. It was more of a damn problem than it was worth."
After last fall's Mini Medical School, Gentry said that four smokers who had attended stopped smoking.
Last fall's school only had room for only 250 people, leaving a 150-person waiting list.
Gentry said that the next Mini Medical School in September would have room for 500 but that the program still was looking for ways to reach more Kansans.
Bryce Meeker, Lake Quivira senior and legislative intern, listened to the presentation and said it entertained him. He said Mini Medical School was something he would have liked to attend.
"It would be better if the public could access the program through the TV or the Internet." Meeker said. "It's hard to get to seminars like these."

Toy, antique markets gain new competitors
Owners don't think problems will arise
By John Audlehelm
writer @kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
The Billings family owns two stores in Lawrence — and both stores are receiving friendly competition.
Gwen and Larry Billings own the Lawrence Antique Mall, 830 Massachusetts St., and their sons, Kyle and Bryce, own Fun and Games, a toy store at 816 Massachusetts St.
But there are some new kids on
their block.
My Father's Daughter, an antique and furniture store at 844 Massachusetts St., opened Saturday. And The Toy Store, 841 Massachusetts St., will specialize in educational toys and is scheduled to open in early April.
But both Gwen and Kyle Billings said the competition was more cooperative than cthitroat because neither has a monopoly on the antique and toy market, respectively.
Angela Conrad, owner of My Father's Daughter, said her father thought of the store's name. Both of her parents work at the shop, she said.
“It's a family thing.” Conrad said. She said the shop sold Victorian antiques, furniture, home and garden accessories and gifts.
"We're kind of an eclectic mix," Conrad said.
She said she was not worried about competition from the Lawrence Antique Mall because antiques were specialized enough that it was difficult for stores' inventories to overlap.
"There's several varieties of antiques," Conrad said. "I carry antiques with a Victorian flavor."
Gwen Billings said Lawrence's antique stores cooperated with one another.
Billings said she was more concerned about people leaving Lawrence satisfied with their purchases rather than leaving her store with antiques they didn't really want.
A similar situation may emerge with the toy stores on Massachusetts Street.
Lana Best, manager of The Toy Store in downtown Topeka, said that she would leave the store in Topeka to manage the one in Lawrence.
Kyle Billings, manager of Fun and Games, said he hoped the two stores would refer customers to each other. He said his store had a good relationship with another downtown toy store, the Toy
Moon, 619 Massachusetts St., before it closed.
"I think it's going to work out really good because we didn't overlap too much on things we sold," he said.
In addition selling the same kind of toys, The Toy Store has another connection with the Toy Moon.
After the store's owner, Mike Cnoissens, was killed in a biking accident in September, his store stayed open through the Christmas season to liquidate its inventory — and The Tov Store bought what was left.
Best said that after Crossen's death and the subsequent close of his store, Lawrence had a niche that needed to be filled.

Studio to offer dancing, catering
The Flamingo Dance Academy, a dance studio that also caters to parties and special events, is set to open March 12.
Wade Qandil, owner of the building at 1117 Massachusetts St. and dance instructor, said he competed in dance competitions in the United States and internationally. This would be his first attempt at instructing, he said.
Qandil said he would teach 13 different kind of dances, including swing.
"This is not based on anything that is considered a fad," he said. "Ballroom dancing never dies. It is always there."
Qandil said the building had 3,500 square feet of dance and seating space, with a circular dance floor 40 feet in diameter.
"The place is also available for parties and special events," Qandil said.
He scheduled the first party for the academy's grand opening on March 12.
Qandil said it would feature two bands and a dance contest. The winning couple will receive a trip to Cancun, Mexico, minus airfare, he said.
caterer — but only to legal drinkers, he said.
The dance studio also will have a catering service that gives away alcohol to somebody who hires a
Qandil said that similar dance studios/caterers existed in other states, such as Minnesota and Illinois but that he also was planning to open one in Overland Park.
"There's nothing like it here," he said. "This one is small compared to other major ones."
Susan Elkins, faculty adviser for the Ballroom Dance Club, said she thought the club's members were planning to go to the studio. She said it would be a great opportunity for club members.
Restaurant adds flavor to Lawrence dining with a taste of Africa
— John Audlehelm
By Ryan Blethen
Kansan staff writer
"I thought it was the missing piece of the puzzle cuisine-wise," she said.
At the southwest corner of 19th and Haskell streets lies a nondescript strip mall that could be found in Anytown, U.S.A. Early last month, however, the 19th Street Center got a spicy new tenant when Bobo's Buka, a traditional African restaurant, opened February 5.
Modupe Ajijola opened the restaurant, at 1910 Haskell Ave., Suite 2, because she said she saw a need for an African restaurant in Lawrence.
Most of the dishes served are West and East African, and they range from soups to meat dishes. Occasionally, however, the cuisine will venture out of the two regions. When it is an African country's independence day, BoBo's Buka serves food that hails from that country
Tawesake Molsawat, Thailand graduate student, agreed that Lawrence needed more options in dining because of the diverse community the University of Kansas created.
"KU students are from around the
world." he said.
Ajiilja said some people compared the restaurant's dishes to Mexican food although she said they were authentic African dishes.
Supath Kookiatkoon, Thailand graduate student, said he had heard about Bobo's from a friend. Although he had only visited the restaurant once, he said he definitely would be back.
Molsaw said he was pleased with the food. "It's similar to Thai food, but it's not as spicy, which is good," he said.
The restaurant strives for authenticity.
Alijola said. In a back section, diners eat with their hands, which is the traditional style in many parts of West Africa.
For lunch, the food is served buffet style — all-you-can-eat for $7.99. Dinner is sit-down and ranges from around $10 to $15.
Not only can a customer get a bowl of ox tail and tripe pepper soup at Bobo's Buka, but Ajijola also plans and caters weddings.
Although Africans traditionally don't have dessert, the restaurant serves pies.
"If you were colonized by the English, their dessert is what you are used to," Aiiliola said.

Michigan shooting to prompt charges
Clinton pushes gun safety bills
The Associated Press
MOUNT MORRIS TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Prosecutors will seek an involuntary manslaughter charge against a 19-year-old man who had possession of a stolen gun later used by a 6-year-old boy to shoot a classmate, authorities said yesterday.
The charge would require the state to show gross negligence by Jamelle James for allowing the youngster to obtain the .32-caliber semiautomatic gun used in the classroom shooting of Kayla Rolland, Prosecutor Arthur 'Busch said.
The complaint also will allure that James contributed to the delinquency of a minor and as a result, the manslaughter was committed, Busch said.
Conviction on the manslaughter charge carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
"I hope this prosecution can send a message to America that those guns that you think can make you safer can make our community more dangerous," he said.
James, who surrendered Wednesday, was cooperative during questioning by local investigators and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, authorities said.
Busch said investigators believed the gun used in the shooting had been left, apparently loaded, under James' blankets in a bedroom at the house where the boy staved.
He said James was jailed on outstanding warrants and miscellaneous charges.
Police also arrested the boy's uncle, Sir Marcus B. Winfrey, late
Tuesday on an outstanding felony warrant. Busch said.
Authorities had said earlier that the gun had been stolen. Investigators also found a stolen 12-gauge shotgun and drugs in the house, the prosecutor said.
Busch refused yesterday to discuss specifics about the investigation or any statements James may have made to investigators.
The boy told police that Tuesday's shooting was an accident and that he had only been trying to scare the girl. Busch said earlier,
The shooting, and a rampage Wednesday outside Pittsburgh, prompted a renewed call for gun safety legislation yesterday by President Clinton. Clinton said he hoped to meet with House and Senate leaders next week to push for two bills he says are stalled in Congress.
Geoffrey Flienger, Jack Kevorkian's former lawyer, Flienger said Kayla's father, Rick Rolland, contacted him about the possibility.
Kayla's family is considering a lawsuit against school officials, said
At a school board meeting Wednesday night, some parents asked the school district to install metal detectors, security cameras and teachers' aides in every classroom.
They also asked Superintendent Ira Rutherford what the district could have done to prevent the shooting.
"If there was a simple answer, we would have done it 20 years ago," Rutherford told the 150 people at the meeting. "We've agonized about this." He did not say whether the district would install metal detectors.
"No one had even conceived of metal detectors in elementary schools before now," he said. "Sometimes we have to do things to make people feel safe."

LONDON — Former Chilean dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet departed Britain a free man yesterday, ending a 16-month legal saga heralded for establishing that former leaders accused of human rights abuses are not immune from prosecution abroad.
Former Chilean dictator leaves Britain a free man
"This has been an unprecedented case. Both I and the courts have had to navigate in uncharted territory." Home Secretary Jack Straw told the House of Commons after ruling that the 84-year-old general was mentally unfit to be extradited to Spain for trial on torture charges.
Straw also dismissed extradition requests from three other nations that contended their citizens were victims of Pinochet's regime — Belgium, France and Sui.
Pinochet, who doctors say suffered brain damage when he experienced two small strokes last fall, left Britain yesterday afternoon and was expected to arrive in Santiago, Chile, today after an undisclosed stopover en route.
The former dictator issued no comment as his detention in Britain came to an end, but his eldest son, Augusto Marco Antonio, said in the Chilean capital that his father received the news of his freedom calmly and without emotion.
While human rights groups expressed dismay at Straw's ruling, they also applauded the British and Spanish courts for decisions that strengthened the reach of an international law against torture that had been little known despite ratification by dozens of countries.
Under the law, which Britain adopted in 1988, torture became an international crime that any nation may prosecute and from which no one enjoys immunity.
Oil production may increase in effort to reduce prices
The Associated Press
LONDON — Three major petroleum-exporting countries recommended a boost in crude oil production yesterday to ease a world shortage and trim the high prices consumers pay for home heating oil and gasoline.
"This market needs to see real barrels, not promises," said Peter Gignoux of Salomon Smith Barney in London. "That's what's going to bring prices down."
A final decision likely will come at a long-anticipated meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in Vienna on March 27.
But the oil ministers from Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Mexico wouldn't specify the amount or timing and oil industry analysts said this lack of specifics meant prices weren't likely to ease significantly any time soon.

Oil exporters inside and outside of OPEC cut production in 1988 and 1999 to boost historically low prices.
As a result, crude has soared from $10.72 a barrel on Dec. 10, 1998, to a nine-year high on Wednesday of $31.77 in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Heating oil prices have doubled in some areas of the northeastern United States this winter, and U.S. gasoline prices have neared an average of $1.50 a gallon, an all-time high.
Saudi Arabia is the world's No. 1 oil exporter, and Venezuela has the third-largest output in OPEC. Mexico is a major non-OPEC producer.

Carolyn Fry (Radha Mitchell) leads a group of stranded space travelers, many of whom become monsterfood, in *Pitch Black*. Contributed art.
Sci-fi slaughter
by brian bard
Effects brighten Pitch Black, but predictable plot spoils
It's a sad fact — science fiction is a genre plagued by bad acting and writing that's even worse.
Pitch Black has an edge on the competition — its writing and acting are just mediocre, it has a great beginning and it is a "should see" for sci-fi fans.
Mimicking the style of George Lucas, the film begins with a shot of a huge starship passing by. Within moments, you're inside the ship, watching as all hell breaks loose.
Pitch Black
After an excellent, intense crash sequence, the remnants of the ship and its survivors find themselves on a deserted planet that has three suns and no night.
Among the survivors of the crash are Carolyn Fry (Radha Mitchell), the only surviving member of the starship's crew; Richard Riddick (Vin Diesel), a recently recaptured psychotic murderer; Johns (Cole Hauser); Riddick's armed escort; Paris (Lewis Fitz-Geral), a pampered antique dealer; Imam (Keith David), a pilgrim on the way to "New Mecca"; and Jack (Rhiana Griffith), an adolescent runaway.
Exploring the planet, the survivors discover hordes of aliens who are vicious, intelligent, and have an insatiable taste for humans. But

the creatures despise light, which makes them non threatening on a planet where it's always day — but if a total eclipse occurs, it could become messy.
Pitch Black is the second film directed by David Twohy, who also directed the 1996 film The Arrival. His writing credits include The Fugitive, Waterworld and G.I. Jane.
Ironically, the writing is what bogged down the film — some of the characters were flat, and it didn't really matter if the aliens ate them. The story promises some interesting developments, but they're revealed in a predictable manner.
The biggest problem is the aliens. They are scary and don't look too fake, but there's just too many of them. The vast numbers make for
a couple of interesting shots, but ultimately their numbers detract from the film.
History has shown us that the scariest thing is the unknown, and Pitch Black uses this concept at first. But once darkness falls, the monsters surround the characters all the time and it ceases to be a scary movie.
In effect, you'll settle back from the edge of your seat, stop wondering what's going to happen next and start making predictions about which of and when the characters will die.
The acting is mediocre, with a couple of bright spots from Fitz-Gerald and Diesel, but because Diesel's character is written without an ounce of humanity, his acting is somewhat wasted.
At least the special effects are good. It features interesting cinematography, good sets and impressive digital work. The sound, especially during the crash, is excellent. All the aesthetic work supports the film well — the visuals and sound don't make the movie, but they do make up for some of its flaws.
If you like sci-fi, go see *Pitch Black*. If you don't mind sci-fi and your friend really likes it, go ahead and tag along. But if you dislike sci-fi, stay away — you won't find anything extraordinary to make it worth your while.

Rearview entertainment
Hitchcock classic returns to big screen
By Brian Bartelt
Kansan movie critic
If you're reading this, odds say that you are at least partially college-educated. This means that, like it or not, you're a sophisticated consumer. Discerning, Cultured. Fortunately, your advanced education also has eradicated your sophomoric attitude of shunning the past and has increased your hunger for qualitychema.
Yeah, right. Lucky for you, there's a film that offers this quality entertainment. It's called *Rear Window*, and it's one of the best films ever made.
This 1954 Alfred Hitchcock classic has been restored and re-released. Moreover, you get a chance to watch this film in a theater — and with better picture quality than ever before. That means that apart from the semi-cheesy title screens and the Donna Reed décor, this film doesn't appear visually-old.
The story isn't dated, either. It centers on LB. "Jeff" Jefferies (James Stewart), a magazine photographer with a taste for adventure. Jeff has a problem - a job-related accident leaves his entire leg in a cast, stranding him in his New York apartment with nothing to do but look out the window. Fortunately, he's got a lot of interesting neighbors to watch - including Mr. Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr, of Perry Mason fame), a salesman who

seems to dwell in the miasmic haze of murder. Enlisting the help of his girlfriend Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly), his nurse Stella (Thelma Ritter), and his detective friend Thomas Doyle (Wendell Corey), Joff sets out to solve the murder from the voyeuristic safety of his home.
Alfred Hitchcock was a master of cinema, and his forte was suspense. *Rear Window* replaces the annoying, implausible, and disappointing parts that foul so many other suspense films with pure tension.
Visually, this film lacks the cinematic punch that modern films have developed, but it retains a graceful style that modern films often lack. The sweeping, long-range camera motions that track Jeff's window watching are difficult shots, requiring great timing and coordination, and Hitchcock pulls them off without a hitch. Likewise, the sound is genius. Rather than give us a wall of sound like most modern suspense films, he gives each thump and scream intense meaning.
Whether you're a Hitchcock disciple or have never seen a Hitchcock film, go see this movie. You won't be disappointed.

Ska-riffic!
Some of the best ska music since Reel Big Fish invaded the country with Turn The Radio Off'a few years ago comes from Topeka band Rayguns. Tight arrangements and catchy lyrms make Talentless Fools! well worth tracking down. From fun ska songs such as "G.M.B." to angst-ridden punk in "Nothing For Me," The Rayguns have got it down.
With guitar master Mike Conner strumming away and Aaron Bunay handling bass, this eight piece group fills the rest of its number with horns. This has an overpowering effect. That adds to the intensity of the album. Few local releases capture the intensity of seeing a band perform live, but Robert Reebek of Mercy Studios seems to excel at doing just that. With the exception of "Atwood," every song is a winner. Check out "Better Off" and you'll be hooked.
For show dates and more info, go to the band's Web site at www.rayguns.com.

Angry Salad Angry Salad Burn it
Although Angry Salad's pop anthems are infused with good intentions and some solid musicians, the group's self-titled album lacks the spirit of sincere creation.
The band seems to be following the same old rock formula: guitar licks and percussion rhythms that, in the end, are too radio friendly to be interesting. The chord progressions in a majority of the songs never dare to step out of the bounds of convention, and spontaneity is a sparse commodity.
The sound is never offensive to the ears, as the four seem to be pretty well-groomed and well-rehearsed, and Angry Salad could probably be a palatable band live. The group has even recorded a theme song for a new show on the WB Network. However, the good chemistry Angry Salad possesses cannot make up for its lackluster album.

Buy it
If you think that Apollo 440 and its hit "Stop The Rock" are a new phenomenon, think again. The group's third album, Gettin' High On Your Supply, is the product of 10 years of techno-rock exploration.
A few fuzzy vocals, monsterish guitars and twists of the turntable later, you can't help but mosh or groove to the sound offered. The tripped up trance-like six track "For Forty Days" possesses a certain purity that breaks up the gritter rock sounds. This leads into a very happy, hip-hop song, "Heart Go Boom."
After a brief, soaring synthesizer meltdown in the first track, Apollo 440 gets right to business with "Stop the Rock," to be heard on the radio and Music Television for years to come. Interestingly enough, this repetitive rock anthem is not the best cut on the album. As the beat goes on, the music becomes more creative.
All together, Gettin' High on Your Own Supply leaves you with an adrenaline rush that's best spent on the dance floor.

The Bacon Brothers
Getting There
Buy it used
With the release of Getting There, Kevin and Michael Bacon have invaded the music world with their acoustic guitars and folkish melodies on an album that, with a few notable exceptions, sounds good. A blend of country and old-fashioned rock 'n' roll makes this album worth checking out.
The down-to-earth lyrics found in songs like "Ten Years in Mexico" and "Don't Look Back," combined with the smooth harmonies of vocalists Kevin and Michael, really surprised me, as I was expecting another movie-star rock attempt gone wrong (i.e. Jennifer Love Hewitt).
It becomes obvious that the musical talent of the Bacon brothers is hard to question—but don't expect TOO much from them. Their writing occasionally hits a wall.
Sometimes the lyrics are a tad trite ("Sitting in this trailer park tonight, still basking in the memory of that glorious fight"), but the fun arrangements cover lyrical missteps almost perfectly. Other than that, the Bacon Brothers have put out a great CD.

Kansas baseball to battle Cyclones in Big 12 opener
By Amanda Kaschube
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Big 12 conference play starts today, and the Kansas baseball team has yet to decide on a definite starting line-up — but coach Bobby Randall isn't too worried about it
"We have a lot of candidates, but we'll keep switching it up for the next couple of days," he said. "If guys are playing well, we'll make sure to use them. If they have a bad game, we'll make changes. It's just the nature of the game."
The 'Hawks have decided on their infield — senior Shane Wedd gets the nod at first base, freshman Ryan Baty will take second, junior All-American honorable mention John Nelson will be up the middle at shortstop, and sophomore Ryan Klocksien rounds out the diamond at third. Junior transfer Brenton Del Chiaro and sophomore Matt Oakes will split time behind the plate.
"There are a lot of guys that are inconsistent. That's the best part of having a deep squad," Randall said. "We're looking to make changes all the time. It's important to keep changing it, especially if you're a young team like we are."
But the outfield is a different ball game — Randall can

Seniors facing fieldhouse finale
Missouri could cause headache for Kansas in final home game
By Shawn Hutchinson sports @kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Contemplating his impending final game in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas senior Ashante Johnson tried to sum up his thoughts.
"It's going to be pretty special," Johnson said. "I'm going to have some family in town, and the fans get to see us play for the last time. It will definitely be something to remember."
Then when asked about Kansas' Senior Day opponent — the Missouri Tigers — Johnson turned somewhat grim.
"They embarrassed us in their place last time," he said.
Embarrassment might not be the right word. Missouri annihilated the Jayhawks in an 81-59 victory on Jan. 22 at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo. The Tigers hit 11 three-pointers that fateful day, including seven by sophomore Clarence Gilbert.
That Missouri victory snapped a seven-game Kansas winning streak and sent the Jayhawks (21-8, 10-5 Big 12), into a funk that led them to lose four of their next seven games.
"I think that would be the thing that jumps out quickly was how well they shot the ball early," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "I thought they outplayed us offensively and defensively and made it difficult for us for 40 minutes. We'll have an added incentive because they beat our tails last time."
Taking care of Missouri's outside gunners will be a top priority for the No. 23 Jayhawks when they face the Tigers Sunday at 1:05 p.m. in the fieldhouse.
Aside from Gilbert, the Tigers also have sophomore point guard Keyon Dooling (15.3 ppg), junior guard Brian Grawer (7.7 ppg), and freshman forward Kareem Rush, who didn't play against the Jayhawks last time because he was serving a suspension.
Rush now is back in the lineup and shooting 43 percent from three-point range for the Tigers (17-10, 10-5).
"They've got Rush, which is definitely good for them," said Kansas forward Nick
Bradford. "The biggest thing for us is going to be taking advantage of our size. We are going to need to pound it inside and hit the boards hard. Defensively, we need to stop their penetration."
As if that wasn't enough to focus on, Kansas also will be bidding farewell to four seniors during the Senior Day ceremony. Johnson, Bradford, Lester Earl and Terry Nooner will be honored before the game, and fans are encouraged to bring carnations or silk flowers. All four seniors will start in their Fieldhouse finale.
"It's always good to come out and play tough for Senior Day," Bradford said. "You have to keep your emotions down a little bit. I've seen three senior days that have been great. They've been great because we've fought hard and won."
A Kansas win on Sunday, coupled with an Oklahoma loss tomorrow at Oklahoma State, would give the Jayhawks a first-round bye in the Big 12 Tournament next week. But Williams said that was the farthest thing from his mind.
Kansas notes
- Forward Jeff Carey has been named to the Academic All-Big 12 Conference team. Carey, a sophomore in Business Administration, has missed the last two games because of a broken finger.

Track coach to leave without any regrets
Kansas track program will continue to suffer when Schwartz is gone
Nobody wants to run track anymore — or at least, run it at Kansas. And that was just part of the problem for Gary Schwartz.
Schwartz, who was effectively fired Tuesday when the Athletics Department announced it would not renew his contract, has the resume of a great track coach. He's in the Kansas athletics hall of fame. He's been the NCAA track coach of the year and worked with several U.S. national teams in international competition.
Yet, when his teams couldn't produce during the last five years or so, Schwartz got his walking papers.
In the '50s, '60s and into the '70s, Kansas track and field was a national power. Big time athletes — Jim Ryun, Billy Mills and Al Oerter among them — competed for Kansas, and Kansas won titles. Between 1952 and 1983, Kansas won 49 conference team indoor and outdoor championships and five NCAA indoor and outdoor championships. But those NCAA titles came between 1959 and 1970, and the conference dominance was mostly in the '50s and '60s.
Truth is, Kansas track hasn't been good since before Schwartz got here.
Sports editor
Anyway you slice it, Kansas had a dominant track and field program. It hasn't been so supreme for the last 20 years.
Recruiting has become difficult because not only do elite athletes usually bypass college in favor of making money, but track athletes also have become difficult to bring to Kansas. Why freeze at Kansas when places such as Southern California, Arkansas and Texas offer warm weather year-round in
It all has to do with recruitment of athletes, the cyclical nature of sports and the NCAA.

first-class buildings?
When the NCAA limited men's track scholarships to 12.6 total, that made things more difficult. Instead of a large balanced team necessary for success in dual meets, the focus is on four or five outstanding athletes who can score points in national meets. Success is now determined by individual victories, not team wins against other schools — something Kansas track has taken pride in.
No program can be dominant in one sport for a long time anymore. The cyclical nature of sports applies here. It's an excuse many teams may use, but it's also true. Some schools may improve their programs, but it's nearly impossible to be dominant forever.
Schwartz wouldn't blame the problems on the workout buildings, which are grossly inadequate, or on the omission of the Kansas Relays the last two years because of Memorial Stadium renovations. Instead, he cites his team's inability to perform well at championship meets.
But with a tradition of winning on the line and with Kansas not finishing higher than fourth in the conference championships the entire 12 years Schwartz was here, it added up to a new start.
The bottom line was winning — and the Jayhawks weren't doing that. But even without Gary Schwartz, they probably won't anyway.
"Performance is what life is about," he said. "This program is held to a higher standard, and we weren't there."

Coach says he always has stuck by his values
By Sarah Warren
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Coach Gary Schwartz has values. He wants kids in his track and field program who are not only good athletes, but good students and good kids as well. And by focusing his recruiting radar on finding those kids in his past 12 years at Kansas, he may have cost himself his job.
"Track is a difficult thing to evaluate even for track coaches, but I feel proud of what we have accomplished because I have run a clean and honest program with real student-athletes," Schwartz said. "It's not as difficult [to find student-athletes] if you are going to go out and
focus on winning."
However, winning is one thing Schwartz hasn't done enough. The team has had only one NCAA champion since Schwartz has been coach, and since the Big 12 Conference was formed, neither the men's nor the women's teams have ranked in the top six.

Schwartz:Has spent 12 years as Kansas coach
Schwartz said he spent more time on developing good athletes into great athletes.
Schwartz gave junior co-captain Jabari Wamble as an example. Wamble came out of nowhere this season to qualify provisionally for the NCAA Indoor Championships and place fourth at the Big 12 Indoor
Schwartz said it all came down to performance, and considering Kansas' tradition as a track and field team — seven National Hall of Fame inductees, more than any other school — some alumni aren't too happy with the team's recent performance.
"This program is held to a higher standard I think by the public and by the alumni because of the successes of the men's program in the '50s, 60s and '70s," said Schwartz, a Kansas track and field athlete during those successful times. He said winning had become the only thing that mattered to the public.
Conference meet in the 400-meter dash.
Cliff Rovelo, Kansas State's track and field coach and Kansas alumnus, said that Kansas' academic standards made it difficult to get winning athletes.
"It's difficult academically to get into Kansas, and some kids can get in somewhere else and so the population is limited," Rovelto said. "And anytime that population is limited, it becomes more difficult to get the athletes you want."
And Schwartz doesn't believe in sacrificing the stars he did obtain in the name of winning. Junior Scott Russell is such an example. Russell, who is redshirting this indoor season to train for the Canadian Olympic team, was last year's Indoor Conference champion in the 35-pound weight throw. Schwartz needed his points to do well in the Conference, but he didn't want to compromise Russell's decision.
"People get redshirted all the time, but I wasn't going to use him to keep my butt in that chair," Schwartz said. "I'm absolutely not ashamed of anything I've done since I've been here."
Track sets sights on bettering marks at weekend meets
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com
Juniors Charlie Gruber, Andrea Branson and Jabari Wamble, sophomore Ryan Speers and freshman Vadim Gvozdzetski will attend last chance meets at Iowa State and Oklahoma.
For five Jayhawks, this weekend marks their final dress rehearsal before next week's NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Favetteville, Ark.
Going into today's meets, Branson is automatically qualified in the pole vault, with her jump of 13-1 Jan. 21 at the Pole Vault Summit in Reno, Nev. Meanwhile, Gruber, Wamble and Speers all are provisionally qualified and will try to better their respective marks to clinch a trip to Arkansas. Gvozdetsky, however, will attempt to qualify provisionally, as he has yet to do so.
“It’s the ones that are automatically or provisionally qualified or close to it that get to go,” said Lorri LaRowe, throws coach. “This meet is nice, too, because it’s smaller. You don’t want two big meetings in a row.”
Kansan sportswriter
This is it.
And it's not going to take much for each to move up in the provisional rankings, as many athletes are grouped tightly in between the provisional marks and the automatic marks. In Speers' case, a little bit added on to his personal best can mean a significant jump in the rankings.
"It's not going to take much to move him up, like a couple of centimeters or so," LaRowe said of Speers' provisional mark of 60-10 set at the Pre-Conference Invitational on Feb. 18.
Moving up is a primary goal for Speers, who currently is ranked 15th. He isn't too concerned about anybody overtaking him in the rankings.
Because he isn't worried about his trip to Arkansas, Speers will try to have a good meet to come off for the NCAA's. Speers' said he wanted to throw a 61-5 today or at NCAA's.
"The people who are below me are a foot below me," Speers said. "I really don't have to worry about the people behind me."

"I threw like crap last week," Speers said. "I didn't think about technique. I didn't feel very confident about what I was doing last week."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 3).
This will be a busy year, but don't despair. The effort you put in now will be a good investment, financially and spiritually, too. Make time for contemplation in March, with experienced guidance. A bold move in April could lead to a raise in pay. Focus on the routine in May and get it down pat. Use what you're learning to upgrade your home in June. Save most of next February for private contemplation.
Aries: Today is a 7.
Your group effort continues to be successful. You're stimulating each other to come up with good ideas. Your hopes and dreams haven't quite happened yet, but they're closer to becoming reality. And, you're making some good friends in the process, right?
Taurus: Today is a 7.
You're probably still in a tough situation. Your skills are increasing, and your confidence should be increasing, too. Keep after what you want, and your adds of getting it are good. When you learn this way, you never forget the lesson.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
You're going through a rather difficult phase. If you're traveling, be careful. You're lucky, and you'll probably get what you want, but you ought to be careful anyway. Be considerate of other pee ple's feelings, and get things down in writing, too.
Cancer: Today is a 5.
If you're working on a business deal, don't take any chances. Have all the facts and figures at your fingertips. If you know exactly what you're talking about, you can make the sale or win the argument.
Leo: Today is a 6.
You and your mate or business partner should continue your discussion. A lucky break could work in your favor, but don't take many risks. It's up to you to make sure this deal works out well for you both. Don't make assumptions or leave anything to chance.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
ii
Libra: Todav is a 7.
2
You're still busy. Your skill level is increasing, and your luck is getting better. You've had about all the frustration any one person should have to endure. Don't rely on the person who should help, however. Just go ahead and handle it yourself.
Your best bet is to go back to school. Something that you find frustrating could be mastered. The trouble is you don't know what you don't know. You may not have to take a class. You might get there by reading a book. Give it a try.
Saqittarius: Today is a 6.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
There's more love than money, so don't plan an expensive excursion. If you keep the money stashed, you'll have a better time, anyway.
Finishing a job together could be more fun than going out, too. Just spend as much time as you can with the ones you love the best.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is a 6.
You're busy, but that's just the way it should be. Things are going almost the way you want, but not quite. It would help if a partner worked with you on this. If you can't make the deal by yourself, get a friend to ask for you.
You're powerful. The only thing that you need to be careful with is your money. You may think you have more than you really have. Take a few moments to figure out the bottom line before you go shopping.
You'll probably end up with a profit if you can curtail your spending. You think you've got plenty, but you could wind up with not enough. Instead of shopping, clean thoroughly. You may find something that you thought was lost forever.
LION
Pisces: Today is a 6.
You're being pushed to take action. The deadline's approaching; procrastination is no longer an option. You can count on that. Don't expect to go full speed ahead. Slow and easy does the trick, so get started.
The Kansas men's swimming and diving team knew it would have a tall task at the Big 12 Conference Championships in College Station, Texas.
SWIMMING
Swimmers in fifth place at Big 12 championships
The Jayhawks are in fifth place after the first day of the three-day event with 89 points. Missouri, who beat Kansas earlier in the season is in last place with 82 points. No. 15 Texas A&M is 63 points ahead of the Jayhawks with 152 points.
Andy Kyser, senior captain, had a solid first day. He set a personal best in the 50 freestyle preliminary in 20.77. He finished 15th in the consolation finals, touching the wall in 20.84. Kyser also anchored two relay teams that both finished fourth.
Texas, the top-ranked team in the nation, has a commanding lead against Nebraska with 318 points. The Comhuskers have 185 points, nine points ahead of Iowa State's 174.
His 200 freestyle relay team posted a time of 1:21.55 and consisted of sophomore Rick Murphy and seniors Brandon Chestnut and Drew Dischinger. Junior Rob Kelly took Murphy's place in the 200 individual medley relay that finished in 3:19.21. Chestnut and classmate Skip Reynolds each finished 10th in the 50 freestyle and 200 individual medley respectively.

LAS VEGAS — NASCAR's Pontiac, Chevrolet and Ford teams, still trying to figure out if anyone has a real edge on the competition, will seek answers this weekend in the desert.
Pontiac, Chevy look to end Ford's streak
AUTO RACING
With Chevrolet introducing a new Monte Carlo and Ford a partially redesigned Taurus, the first two races this year have been inconclusive — although there has been plenty of complaining from nearly everyone about aerodynamics.
The auto roulette wheel will spin again on Sunday in the CarsDirect.com 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where Fords have won its first two Winston Cup races.
Two years ago, Taurus dominated so much in Las Vegas — sweeping the top seven positions and grabbing 13 of the top 14 — that NASCAR quickly changed the rules. It gave the GM cars a higher rear spoiler and a lower front air dam to try even things out.
Last year, a Ford driven by Jeff Burton won the race, but he was followed across the finish line by the Pontiac of brother Ward, the Chevy of Jeff Gordon and five more GM entries before the next Ford.
Series champion Dale Jarrett led a 1-5 Ford finish Feb. 20 in the season-opening Daytona 500 on a high-banked, 2 1/2-mile track where speed is a major factor. Last Sunday, on the flatter and slower one-mile oval in Rockingham, N.C.
— where handling is the key —
General Motors cars, led by Pontiac
driver Bobby Labonte, swept the first
four positions. Three of those spots
went to the nearly unchanged Grand
Prix.
NFL
Broncos hire coaches look to sign players
DENVER — The Denver Broncos reassigned two assistant coaches yesterday and hired two others.
SCORPIO
Defensive backfield coach Rick
Linebackers coach Frank Bush was transferred to coach of the nickel package on defense, a new position. He was replaced by Larry Coyer, defensive coordinator for the University of Pittsburgh from 1997 to 1999.
Smith was moved to an unspecified position in the personnel department. He was replaced by Ron Milus.
PACERS
defensive backfield coach for Texas A&M last year..
The Broncos also are expected to send a four- or a fifth-round pick in the April draft, as well as another conditional pick in next year's draft, to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for safety Billy Jenkins, a newspaper reported.
The Denver Post reported yesterday that NFL sources said once Jenkins was given to Denver, the Broncos would be ready to complete their second deal.
Jenkins, 25, will be expected to sign a seven-year deal worth about $18 million, instantly becoming starting strong safety, replacing retired veteran Twone Braxton.
"I'm going to sign." Jenkins said Wednesday night, without knowing about the agreed-to trade between the Broncos and Rams. "It's looking good."
Now that the Broncos have filleo their final defensive need, they can focus on quarterbacks.
Detroit Lions free-agent quarterback Gus Frotten was expected to announce yesterday whether to sign with the Broncos or remain in Detroit.

Athletes need harsher penalties
To err is human — to forgive is divine. But when is enough enqueue?
Feedback
Boston Bruins defenseman Marty McSorely's stick attack was unexplainably violent. Do we forgive? Yes, we do, sports does. A 23-game suspension is not harsh enough. An expulsion from the sport, in my opinion, fits the crime.
Hockey player Craig McTavish, convicted of DWI in an accident that killed one person was jailed for one year, then played for the Edmonton Oilers for 12 years, won three Stanley Cups and had a hall of fame career. Boxer Mike Tyson was forgiven on numerous occasions for numerous transgressions. In some cases, forgiveness should not be an option — the punishment must fit or even exceed the crime.
So I ask, when is enough enough?
So I ask, when is enough enough?
Pitcher Steve Howe was forgiven eight times for violating major league baseball's drug policy. That is ludicrous. Outfielder Daryl Strawberry was suspended three times in five years for violating major league baseball's drug policy.
A one-year suspension is not the answer. Being banned from baseball; now that's an idea. The message that all of the forgiven transgressions sends to our kids is not one that such impressionable young people need to be seeing. The children of today need to see harsher punishments being handed down. Their role models need to act like role models!
Do we forgive Auburn forward Chris Porter for taking money from the team so do. Everyone deserves a second chance. Second be the key word.
— Dominick Fazio. Kansas fan
'Hawks to square off today in league opener
Continued from page 1A
choose from a wide variety of players.
Senior Brett Kappelmann, Juniors Brandon O'Neal, Brian Hoefer, Jesse Grimminger, and freshman Clay Wheeler are vying for the three spots beyond the fringe. But some say the competition makes them better players.
"I just worry about what I do and play what I'm capable of," Kappelmann said. "I expect the other players to be working just as hard. I try not to focus on the other guys."
The Hawks lead off their Big 12 season with a three-game series against
the Iowa State Cyclones, 3-10 today.
Last year at this time, Kansas was 2.8 and was on a seven-game losing streak. Now, the Hawks are 9-4 and ready to prove their conference foes wrong.
"Right now, it's a fresh start," Kappelman said. "We're just going to focus on winning and make it fun this year. We can't really look by anyone, but we have a lot to prove. We're going to come out and fight."
Iowa State finished in the basement of the conference last season — the only team to have a worse record than the 'Hawks. But Randall said he wouldn't discredit the Cyclones, the
team he coached for 14 years before coming to Kansas.
"It's important to play solid ball with them," he said. "They have an All-League pitcher and have a lot of good hitters. Our pitchers need to be consistent to make the game winnable for us."
Senior Rusty Philbrick, 0-1, gets the start at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark. Tomorrow's doubleheader will begin at noon, and will feature junior Pete Smart , 2-2, and either sophomores Jeff Davis, 2-0, or Dan Olson, 10.
Randall said the Hawks were ready to take their game to the next level, starting today.

Intramural tournaments continue
Basketball playoffs reflect improvements in sportsmanship
By Ryan Malashock
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
This week marks the conclusion of the intramural basketball season, as well as the beginning of the intramural softball season.
Tournament play in seven different divisions of the intramural basketball league began Sunday at Robinson Center. The playoffs will continue through next week, and Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services, is pleased with the results of the first few days.
"I think the playoffs are going great so far," Krone said. "We had really good participation all week. The first day we had a few more forfeits than we would have liked, but since then we've only had one."
In an intramural season that has been somewhat marred by suspensions and ejections, Krone said that the playoffs had been quite a turnaround from the regular season. He does find it tough to gauge sportsmanship overall, but supervisors have given him only positive reports, Krone said.
"It's definitely hard to see everything, but we've had no unacceptable ratings for teams so far in the playoffs," Krone said. "We've also only had a couple ejections, and those have been for dunking, so we're doing good."
Improvements in sportsmanship also can be attributed to the improvement of overall refereeing. Krone said.
"I think the referees are really
starting to become comfortable with the game flow and with each other, and being comfortable turns into confidence," Krone said.
The men's open and greek divisions have dominated action at Robinson this week. Co-rec divisions begin tomorrow, and women's divisions begin next Wednesday.
"We wanted to get the biggest divisions narrowed down before we started the other ones," Krone said. "There are 66 teams in the men's open and 60 in the men's grek, so there's a lot of games to play."
Krone is in the process of lining up a site for the championship games, and he said he hoped that they could be played at Allen Fieldhouse.
The first managers' meeting for the intramural softball season will be 7 p.m. Sunday at 156 Robinson. Immediately following, there will be a meeting for a new intramural sport
this season: three-on-three soccer.
Krone is eager for the intramural softball season and said there were some perks involved with playing.
Last year about 100 teams participated in intramural softball, and Krone said he expected more this year.
Ted Martin, Emporia sophomore, played high school baseball and said he was excited to relive his glory days through intramural softball.
"Softball has one of the most fun weekends for intramurals," Krone said. "We hold the end-of-the-year playoffs at the Clinton Lake Softball Complex, and it gives the teams a chance to play on regulation fields for a weekend. It was a great time last year."

"It'll be good to get back on the diamond again," Martin said. "Our team will have a lot of fun mashing the ball and spitting some seeds."
Intramural softball and three-on three soccer begin March 27.

Hazing reports lead to arrests of prep wrestlers
The Associated Press
TRUMBULL, Conn. — High school wrestling is often about pain and endurance. The grueling practices and the struggle to meet a target body weight weed out the weak and the undisciplined.
But a group of Trumbull High School wrestlers are accused of taking things much too far.
A 15-year-old Trumbull wrestler reportedly was hogtied, pushed into a wall, stuffed inside a locker and held down while teammates forced the handle of a plastic knife into his rectum.
Eight members of the 15-member team have been arrested — three of them as adults on assault and conspiracy charges that could bring them more than five years in prison.
Hillary Bargar, one of the prosecutors who is handling the cases against the wrestlers charged as juveniles, said hazing was an inadequate description of the attacks.
"You should call it what it is, and that would be a pattern of assault and harassment," she said. "This is not cute. This is not 'boys will be boys.'"
The boy told police that after joining the team in December, he and two other new wrestlers repeatedly were hazed. The names of the victims had not been released.
Prosecutors would not say what they believed the motive was.
The 15-year-old boy's parents complained to school officials and police on Feb.2, a day after his right knee was severely injured when he was reportedly thrown against a wall by his teammates.
The two other boys also were hogtied with trainer's tape. One was thrown into the shower, while the other was covered in garbage, the 15-year-old told police.
The allegations shocked students and parents. Several students said they thought hazing was limited to childish locker room pranks.
Lawyers for the accused wrestlers say school officials had known about hazing for years. In the 1999 yearbook, the departing captains of the wrestling team urged their teammates to carry on the tradition of hotgging.
"What I find a little bit disturbing is that the school — through their lack of supervision — at the very least allowed this to happen, and when it does, they're very quick to scapegoat these kids," said Frederick Paoletti Jr., an attorney who represents one of the accused wrestlers.
Trumbull school officials insisted they were unaware of anything like the abuse described by the 15-year-old. The coach did not return calls for comment.
All eight of the accused wrestlers were suspended, and expulsion proceedings are under way for seven. Last month, the Newtown High School wrestling team was forced to forfeit four matches after several team members were caught trying to initiate a freshman by dunking his head into a toilet bowl.
And the University of Vermont canceled its hockey season this year after learning that freshmen were forced to wear women's underwear and march single file holding one another's genitals in a ritual called an elephant walk.
Rocker apologizes to Braves
The Associated Press
KISSMMEE, Fla. — A clearly humbled John Rocker arrived for spring training yesterday and took the first steps toward mending the strained relationship with his teammates.
At a closed clubhouse meeting, Rocker was described as near tears as he apologized and pleaded with his Atlanta Braves teammates. "Please, guys, let me play."
Rocker also read a brief apology to reporters before joining the rest of the team on the field for the first time since his divisive comments in a December issue of Sports Illustrated that disparaged gays, minorities and foreigners.
He played catch with fellow reliever Rudy Seanez and threw in the bullpen prior to the first exhibition game of the spring. Manager Bobby Cox said he expected to use Rocker in a game in 8-10 days.
His arrival came a day after baseball's independent arbitrator cut the reliever's suspension in half, ruling he should sit out the first 14 days of the regular season for his offensive remarks. In addition, Rocker's $20,000 fine was cut to $500.
While the decision by arbitrator Shyam Das brought finality to the disciplinary part of the process, Rocker now must win back respect in the Braves' clubhouse. Teammates have grumbled that his bombastic, self-centered persona was annoying even before the magazine interview.
"He's got a long road ahead of him," said outfielder Brian Jordan, one of Rocker's most vocal critics. "He's got to deal with this in every city, with every fan. The hard
Braves
part is just beginning for John Rocker."
part is just beginning for John Rocker.
But he seemed to have plenty of support in central Florida. Rocker was cheered after his workout and stopped to sign autographs for about 10 minutes along the first-base line.
"We still love you, John!" a woman yelled. "First Amendment!" another fan screamed.
First baseman Randall Simon, a native of Curacao who was referred to in the article as a "fat monkey," met privately with Rocker. Rocker asked for forgiveness and invited the first baseman and his wife to dinner this week.
"I looked at him in the face, and he showed me he really regrets what he said." Simon said. "I saw in his eyes that he was kind of sad."
Commissioner Bud Selig, who imposed the harsher penalty Jan. 31, said the ruling by Das completely ignored the sensibilities of those groups of people maligned by Rocker and disregarded his position as a role model for children.
Selig banned Rocker from all 45 days of spring training and the first 28 days of the season. Rocker and the players' association asked the arbitrator to overturn the decision, saying it was out of line with past sanctions.
St. John's treated fairly, NCAA says
Barkley was declared ineligible Tuesday because part of his tuition and fees were paid for the 1997-98 academic year at Maine Central Institute. It was the
"What held up the process is that the university did not provide information necessary to make an interpretation of NCAA legislation," he said. "The university has known there was concern about the eligibility of one of its student-athletes since Feb. 17."
Dempsey said in a statement that, in media accounts, St. John's had given the appearance that the NCAA was holding up the process, but he strongly disagreed.
second time this season he was declared ineligible for NCAA rules violations. He missed two games in early February for exchanging vehicles with a family friend.
St. John's released a statement during Tuesday night's 66-60 victory against Seton Hall, in which Barkley did not play, that said it concluded its investigation into the tuition matter and found no violations.
"The university's accusation of an NCAA 'guilt before innocence' stance is inaccurate." Dempsey said. "St. John's also has stated it does not believe violations have occurred. When a university disagrees with an interpretation of rules, it can take the issue to an interpretation committee for review. St. John's declined to utilize this process."
The NCAA disagreed and told the school to declare him ineligible immediately.
He also said St. John's failed to provide its final report to the NCAA until late Tuesday.
Dempsey's remarks about St. John's University came Wednesday after the school said it was treated unfairly during the investigation of sophomore guard Erick Barkley's eligibility.
The Associated Press
St. John's stood by the statement it issued Tuesday night.
INDIANAPOLIS — In a rare move, NCAA president Cedric Dempsey commented on a current eligibility investigation and rebuked the school involved.

Freshman wall myth for'Hawks
Longer schedule isn't exhausting team's youngest
By Matt Tait sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Fact or myth? Every college basketball season, the freshman class becomes ineffective late in the season because it is tired and worn down from the longer, more treacherous college schedule.
Generally, that statement has proven to be a fact, but for Kansas' three freshmen this season—Nick Collison, Drew Gooden and Kirk Hinrich — the mythical freshman wall is just that: a myth.
"We've all been playing pretty well," Collison said. "I think we've been playing about the same level all season."
The theory of the freshman wall involves the season's length and physical and mental preparation.
First, in most states, the high school playoffs begin this week, and in others, the season-ending tournament began last week. In college, the regular season doesn't end until Sunday, and then the most important part of the season — the postseason tournaments — stretches to the beginning of April.
Kansas point guard Jen Boscnee, a tresman last year, said that he remembered the length of the season being a tough adjustment.
"It is extremely difficult to adjust to the longer season," Boschee said. "It's almost a month longer than your high school season."
Second, both in practices and games, the competition is more physically demanding. That makes for another brick in the wall.
"The season's a lot of fun, but it does take a wear and tear on your body," Hinrich said. "You just have to be mentally tough to get through it."
"It's more mental, I think, to be able to maintain focus in practice everyday," Collison said. "Because practices are so much tougher than they were in high school."
Collison agreed that mental endurance was the key to climbing over the wall rather than running into it.
Despite the difficulty of the adjustment from the high school gym to Allen Fieldhouse, this year's freshman class has survived on adrenaline.
"You can bust through it early because you're all excited about the season," Collison said, "But if you can get it in your head to be strong enough to do it, your body will be able to do it, too, and I think us three
"You can bust through it early because you're all excited about the season. But if you can get it in your head to be strong enough to do it, your body will be able to do it too and I think us three have done a good job."
Nick Collison Kansas freshman forward
With the postseason beginning next week, the statistics show that the freshmen have done an admirable job, indeed.
have done a good iob."
Collision is third on the team in scoring with 10.3 ppg and second in blocked shots with 31 and rebounding at 6.8 rpg.
Gooden leads the team in rebounding at 7.4 ng and is second in scoring at 10.7 ng
The numbers add up to a title the three freshmen have had since the season began: the future of Kansas basketball.
1. 4 pg and is second in scoring at 10.7 pg. Hinrich has come on strong lately. In his first 21 games he scored nine or more points just once, but in his last eight games, he has topped nine points four times. He also ranks second on the team in assists per game with 3.5.

Women ready for Red Raiders
By Zac Hunter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The Kansas women's tennis team is confident about beginning its Big 12 Conference season this weekend with a meet against Texas Tech. A team it beat easily last year 7-2.
Although the 'Hawks fell seven points in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll to No. 49 after last week's 5-2 loss to Tulsa, the team has a 6-2 record.
Despite some minor injuries — a constant problem for small teams, women's tennis coach Jenny Garrity said that the team would be ready to go this weekend.
Sophomore player Lisa Mallaiah agreed.
"It's all tough competition, but I think we get up extra for the Big 12," she said.
The meet begins at 11 a.m. Sunday at Alvamar Golf and Country Club, 4120 Clinton Parkway.
Garrity said that Texas Tech had struggled in the past against some Top 25 teams. She also said that the Red Raider's busy weekend schedule would put her team at an advantage.
1980
"If I had to pick which day I want to play them, of course I'd want to play them on the last day."
The Red Raiders' spring season is off an ominous start after losing five of their first six meets. Two of their losses came against Arizona and Arizona State, which are both ranked in the Top 25. The latest loss occurred in their first Big 12 meet against Oklahoma State.
Jenny Garrity women's tennis coach
Garrity said that playing Top 25 teams probably hadn't helped Texas Tech's confidence.
Winning Sunday also will not be easy for the Red Raiders because of a threemeet road trip this weekend.
Before coming to Lawrence, Texas Tech plays Iowa State today and Missouri tomorrow. Garrity said Kansas would benefit because of the likely fatigue the Red Raiders would feel.
"You have not only physical matches, but emotional matches," Garrity said. "If I had to pick which day I want to play them, of course I'd want to play them on the last day."
Although her team may be aided, Garrity warned that the Red Raiders would be ready to play regardless of what happened in the next two days.
For the Jayhawks to meet their season goals — which is competing against Texas for the Big 12 Championship—they will have to win early meets against the other teams in the conference, including

Texas started the season with a 9-0 record and is ranked No. 9 in the nation.

After winning two of its last three matches, the No. 73 Kansas men's tennis team will roll into Big 12 Conference play this weekend.
If the Jayhawks want to continue winning, they will have to get past one of the strongest teams in the conference, the No. 9 Baylor Bears, at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Alvamar Golf and Country Club, 4120 Clinton Parkway.
"They have a lot of power in their line-up," said junior Ed Dus. "Talent-wise we match-up well with them. If we get out early, I think they will get a little nervous and we can take advantage of that."
Baylor has been a perennial conference and national championship contender. Last season, the Bears advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament, losing to the eventual champion, Georgia. Dus said the Bears were a very competitive group.
"As a team they're not the nicest people in the world," Dus said. "We just need to keep our composure out there on the court."
Baylor's squad this year is led by Johann Jooste and ranked 14th in the nation. The team features five other returning letter winners, including David Hodge who is ranked No.90 and freshman Zoltan Papp who is No.62.
The Bears, last season's Big 12 runner-up, also bring to the table a talented group of doubles teams. Hodge and Mark Williams are No. 4 in the country, Pawel Gajzik and Johannes Michalsky are No. 30, and Gajzik and Jooste are No. 38.
"They are a very solid team," said Mark Riley, Kansas men's coach. "We play in one of the best conferences in the country in

tennis, but we are looking forward to the challenge."
Kansas, 3-5, took a week off to prepare for their Big 12 opener against the Bears, which Riley said was very beneficial.
"I think we are making some progress," he said. "We've had a better effort from everyone at practice. I think we're ready to turn the corner this season."
The Jayhawks have had a disappointing start to their season, but their performances have started to turn around. They defeated the No. 68 Iowa Hawkeyes 4-3 on February 13, lost a close match to No. 25 Harvard and got by Columbia in Boston.
"We came off a good set of matches prior to the break, so we were able to carry that into our practices," Riley said. "The first third of the season has gone by, and no one is happy where we are. I think we are stepping up our play now though."
Kansas is led by freshman Eleazar Magallan, who is ranked No.1 in Region V with a team-best 22-11 singles record. The squad also has three other players ranked among the Top 25 in Region V. The Jayhawks have two doubles teams ranked in the region as well.
"We haven't played our best tennis yet," Riley said. We are going to fight with Baylor for every point this weekend."

University wins discrimination suit
Second federal case scheduled for April
By Jim O'Malley

Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas won the civil rights lawsuit brought against it by Cynthia Annett and Ray Pierotti.
The jury at federal district court in Kansas City, Kan., returned a verdict in favor of the University on all counts Friday afternoon, court officials said.
WWW.KANSAN.COM
Annett, a former assistant professor of
ecology and evolutionary biology, alleged that the University had denied her tenure because of her gender and had retaliated against her for opposing discrimination in the department's graduate program. Pierotti, her husband and an associate professor in the department, alleged retaliation by the University and the department chairman, Thomas Taylor.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, issued a prepared statement Friday following the decision.
The jury was instructed that it was not to
"We are pleased with the outcome today," she said. "The court's verdict shows that the University was fair in its treatment of the plaintiffs."
decide whether the University treated the plaintiffs fairly, however. It was instructed only to decide whether the University was motivated by gender discrimination or retaliation for opposing discrimination. Bretz said Friday in an interview that
"But, fortunately, they are not frequent," she said.
Annett, however, said her case was only the beginning.
The University faces another legal battle in federal court next month, when the trial of a civil rights lawsuit by Marie Aquilino, former assistant professor of art history, is scheduled to begin.
Annett said she was only one of many who
opposed discrimination at the University.
"We are a coalition and we have every intention of increasing our activities," she said. "We have a lot of very important issues to deal with. We got a tremendous amount of evidence into the public record in the trial. Now we can examine it."
Annett said that she would stay in Lawrence and that her work would involve the University. She plans to work on a project to start the first international exchange program at Haskell Indian Nations University. The program, which is financed through grants, would arrange exchanges between indigenous Siberians and Native Americans at the University and Haskell.

Habitat scores a touchdown
Kansas football players help group build hope
By Jessie Meyer writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The offensive line of the Kansas football team traded in their helmets and jerseys for hammers and nails Saturday and helped put the roof on the most recent Habitat for Humanity project.
Offensive guard Charles Jarvis, San Pedro, Calif. senior, said he was glad to help out where he could.
"We just figured we wanted to do something for the community to show we cared," Jarvis said. "I try to participate as much as possible, just to give something back to the community."
Terry Allen, football coach and honorary chairman for Lawrence Habitat for Humanity Inc.'s HomeBuilders 2000 Campaign, said he was pleased his players
wanted to help out.
"It's something the guys all wanted to take part in," Allen said. "And I think it's good for young people because the hard work goes directly back into the community."
Alison Beck, Overland Park senior and co-construction leader for the site, said she was glad the team members came out because there was a lot of work to be done.
The two-bedroom house at 1607 Wedgewood Drive that the linemen worked on will go to Lawrence resident Dana O'Brien and her 9-year-old son, Gabriel. They are the 35th family to partner with Lawrence Habitat, said Linda Klinker, program director for Lawrence Habitat for Humanity, 412 E. Ninth St., and coordinator for the HomeBuilders campaign.
"They're lifting the tresses for the roof." Beck said. "And it's easier with some bigger guys. By next Saturday, it should look like a real house."

Professor's civil rights lawsuit dismissed
By Jim O'Malley writer@kansan.com Kanson staff writer
The University won another legal victory last week when the civil rights lawsuit by former law professor Emil Tonkovich was dismissed at federal court in Kansas City, Kan.
Tonkovich sued the Board of Regents,
Tonkovich sued t. the University and University officials in 1995 after he was fired based on allegations that he pressured a female law student to perform oral sex on him.
Tonkovich denied the allegations and claimed he was being persecuted for his conservative politics.
Tonkovich is only the second tenured professor to be fired from the University.
Most of the federal civil rights claims Tonkovich had made against the University and University officials were dismissed last year. That left only federal civil rights claims against Chancellor Robert Hemenway and a variety of claims
"Tonkovich would have had to allege that other professors who had sex with a student, in a manner that exploited the student, were not treated the way he was treated by University officials,"
G. Thomas Van Bebber U.S. District judge
that the firing violated state law.
In an order issued Feb. 25, U.S. District Judge G. Thomas Van Bebber dismissed the remaining civil rights claims against Hemenway.
The judge ruled that the firing and the University's procedures for appeal employment decisions did not violate Tonkovich's constitutional right to due process or basic fairness.
The court also dismissed Tonkovich's equal protection claim against Hemenway because he didn't allege unequal treatment.
"Tonkovich would have had to allege that other professors who had sex with a student, in a manner that exploited the student, were not treated the way he was treated by University officials," Van Bebber wrote, quoting an earlier ruling in the case by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Van Bebber then dismissed Tonkovich's state law claims because there were no more federal claims before the federal court. But the ruling left Tonkovich free to pursue his state law claims in state court.
The case is not yet over. The Laurence Journal-World reported Saturday that Richard P. Hutchison, of the Landmark Legal Foundation in Kansas City, Mo., who is helping Tonkovich's case, said Tonkovich would pursue his claims in state court and appeal Van Bebber's ruling to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Hutchison could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Computer lab proposal may find new life at underused Burge Union
Bv Erinn R. Barcomb
Kansan staff writer
A narrowly defeated proposal that would have put a computer lab in the Kansas Union may have found new life in the Burge Union.
Some members of the Student Senate listserv have been tossing around the idea of putting a computer lab that was originally intended to replace the Jaybowl in the Kansas Union in the less-frequented Burge Union.
Christian Lutz, graduate senator, said he had several reasons why a computer lab would work well at Burge.
would work in Burge, I just see it as an empty building, but I think it has a lot of potential," Lutz said. "It's basically space that needs to be used."
Lutz said that most computer labs were located east of Naismith Drive but that 2,500 students lived west of Naismith Drive on Daisy Hill.
Moreover, a computer lab on the lower level would increase traffic in Burge, drawing attention to student services located on that level.
"Even though students have their own computers, there are some that can't afford to have their own."

SENATE
Lutz said.
"They are forgotten because they are on
the lower level, not like the Crimson Cafe," Lutz said.
Lutz said he was finding the best vehicle for the proposal, whether that meant
approaching union directors or going through Student Senate.
Brian Bartelt, West Des Moines, Iowa, junior, said he went to Burge when he lived in Templin Hall and still went there occasionally. But he went for services such as the bookstore or Legal Services for Students, not to hang out, he said.
"I've been in the Burge Union a lot, and I know there are a lot of important services, but in terms of people going there, it's pretty deserted," Bartelt said.
He said he was in favor of putting a computer lab in Burge.
"I think that's a good idea, particularly if they had food at late hours," Bartelt said. "I just don't think the Jaybowl was a place to use it."
Bartelt said Pat Beard, building services manager for the Kansas and Burge unions, saw Bartelt's name on the listserv and invited him to meet after spring break with the Burge Future Committee, a task force formed last semester.
Bartelt is also a movie critic for the Kansan.
"It would be difficult to find the space for that based on the offices, cafe, bookstore and some of the rooms that are there now," Popp said.
Popp said he did not think the addition of a computer lab and other amenities was as feasible as some might hope.
Cameron Popp, Student Union Activities president and a member of the Memorial Corp., which owns the unions, said physical changes would be taking place at Burge, including installation of a new roof during spring break. But most of the changes will be subtle, like new lighting and ventilation, Popp said.
Some of the changes proposed for the

He said the Burge Union was intended to fill a niche that the students had indicated they wanted to see, but that it didn't mean that anyone was actually going to use the space.

KU police issue alert for alleged rapist
The KU Public Safety Office has issued a crime alert for an alleged rapist who is believed to be in the Lawrence area.
Gayle Alan Sanford III, 20, is wanted in Arkansas for a number of criminal charges, including failure to appear in court, battery, false imprisonment and terrorist threat. The crime alert, issued Thursday, describes Sanford as a 6-foot-2, 226-pound white male with blue eyes and brown hair.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety office said a female University of Arkansas student said that Sanford raped her Jan. 25. Sanford was arrested in conjunction with the rape several hours later but never appeared for a subsequent court date. Police issued a warrant for his arrest on Feb. 25.
Maileen said that he was unsure of Sanford's connection to Lawrence but that Sanford allegedly borrowed a local woman's vehicle in late Nov. 1999 and failed to return it in a timely fashion.
"I don't know the personal ties there, other than we can put him here on that date." Mailen said.
Mailen said the Public Safety Office thought it was important to alert the campus and community of the possibility of his presence.
"Just looking at the history, there's certainly room for concern." Malien said.
Additional information is available from a safety bulletin on the University of Arkansas Police Department's Web site at http://www.uark.edu/%7Euapdinfo/safety.html.
Police request that anyone who has information that would assist in locating Sanford or someone fitting his description call the KU Public Safety Office at 864-5900 or KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888.
Callers to Crime Stoppers may remain anonymous. Callers may be eligible for a cash reward if information they report leads to Sanford's apprehension.

Southwest Airlines 737 jet skids off airport runway
BURBANK, Calif. — A Southwest Airlines 737 jet carrying an undisclosed number of passengers skidded off the end of a runway yesterday at Burbank International Airport and onto a nearby street, nearly missing a gas station, an airline spokesman said.
At least one car was hit by the plane, but it immediately was not clear if there was a motorist inside the car, said Jim Reed, Southwest
Airlines spokesman
Reed said he was not immediately aware of any injuries and did not know how many passengers were aboard. An eyewitness said about 75 people departed the plane.
Clinton, civil rights leaders join at march's anniversary
SELMA, Ala. — Thirty-five years after the United States' Bloody Sunday, the day when police beat and bloodied voting rights marchers at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, modern-day civil rights figures traced the same path with Bill Clinton — a white Southerner who credited the march with his rise to be president.
"I am a son of the South, the old segregated South. Those of you who marched on Bloody Sunday set me free, too," Clinton said before walking across the bridge arm-in-arm with Coretta Scott King, widow of the Rev Martin Luther King, and Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., who was badly injured in the 1965 march.
Lewis, who marches every year to mark the anniversary, invited Clinton to join him this year.
The march helped launch the careers of black leaders including Lewis, but it also helped make way for a new kind of white Southern politician: A moderate who's attuned to civil rights issues and appeals to both African-American and white voters.
Boeing makes offer to striking workers
SEATTLE — The Boeing Co. declared yesterday it will impose its most recent contract offer on engineers and technical workers whose union has been on strike against the aerospace giant for three-and-a-half weeks.
"Now it's time to get back to work and start focusing on our customers," said Alan Mutally, president of the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, yesterday afternoon at a news conference.
The union for 17,000 striking workers dismissed the action as an attempt to get workers to cross picket lines and called it an unfair labor practice.
"We're not coming back until they sit down at the table with us and negotiate this contract," said Tom McCarty, a member of the engineering negotiating team, who was picketing with about 75 other Boeing employees outside the news conference.
Party underdogs fight to keep hopes alive
WASHINGTON — Fighting to stay alive in the presidential primary race, Republican John McCain questioned yesterday whether George W. Bush was ready for prime time and Democrat Bill Bradley suggested that voters could barely tolerate Al Gore,
as the presidential nomination races head for a climactic multi-state showdown tomorrow.
The two underdogs expressed confidence as they made the TV talk show rounds, even as aides braced for the worst by quietly making plans for dignified exits.
Republicans compete tomorrow in 13 states for 613 delegates, and Democrats battle in 15 states for 1,315 delegates — more than half the total each party requires of its nominees.
Israel to pull troops from Lebanon by July
WORLD
JERUSALEM — Israel's Cabinet voted unanimously to withdraw its troops from south Lebanon by July, committing itself to ending a bloody 18-year occupation and putting new pressure on Syria to reach a peace deal.
The Cabinet said Israel would try to withdraw through a peace agreement with Syria, but officials said the troops would leave by July in any case.
"It's an end to the tragedy." Prime Minister Ehud Barak said. "We are bringing the boys home."
Israel says Syria uses the low-level war in Lebanon, and the resulting Israeli deaths, as a means of pressuring Israel to give back the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in 1967.
A withdrawal from the zone Israel occupies in south Lebanon would take away that tool. But a unilateral withdrawal with no peace deal to assure an end to fighting would leave Israel's northern border vulnerable to attacks by Iranian-backed Hezbollah guerrillas.
Israel's army chief warned that could cost more Israeli lives, including civilians.
Flood victims return to devastated town
CHOKWE, Mozambique — With floodwaters subsiding under a baking sun, hundreds of famished people straggled home to the southern town of Chokwe yesterday, searching for homes and belongings amid collapsed buildings, ruined crops and dead bodies.
United Nations and aid agency officials said yesterday the international relief operation in this southeast African nation was shifting from those threatened with drowning to distributing food and water to desperate survivors. Between 800,000 and 1 million people lost their homes or ways of living in the deluge and were in need of help, they said.
President Joaquim Chissano said in the capital, Maputo, that flood victims would need outside food aid for at least 10 months.

A performance by the New Dawn Native Dancers and an intertribal powwow kicked off the Kansas Association for Native-American Education conference yesterday.
The conference, which is in its eighth year, is meeting at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive.
Cornel Pewewardy, assistant professor for teaching and leadership, said the goal of the KANAE's conference was to improve the education of Native Americans.
"KANAE is a statewide non-profit organization consisting of concerned parents, educators and students who advocate for the educational empowerment of indigenous peoples in Kansas." Pewwardy said.
The conference is called "KANAE 2000: Just Do It!" Pewwardy said that the event borrowed the title from Nike but that it also suggested that people needed to break out of old mindsets.
"It's also our reality that this is the year 2000, while some people's reality may be locked in the past, like the 1970s, 1980s or even the 1990s," he said.
Jim McKinney, Holton resident, was at the conference to make a presentation on preserving tribal languages. He said the conference was a wonderful way for tribes to learn from one another.
"There is quite a bit of variance between tribes," McKinney said. "We can all learn something from somebody."
Having a conference dedicated to the education of Native Americans is important, said Bob Marley, an instructor of kinesiology and sports skills at Wichita State University who was attending the conference.
"Most of our children have dropout potential." Marley said.
A lot of Native-American and other minority children are put into special education programs because they are perceived as being less smart than their Caucasian counterparts, which prevents them from succeeding, he said.

Census stop encourages students to fill out forms
By John Audelaheim
writer@kansas.com
Kansas staff writer
The U.S. Census Bureau was outside yesterday's Kansas-Missouri men's basketball game to promote this year's census count.
The Census 2000 Road Tour had one of its 12 vehicles in front of the fieldhouse, where workers handed out pens, pencils, buttons and brochures and encouraged people to fill out census forms.
Sherman Parks Jr., office manager of the U.S. Census Bureau in Topeka, said the van was at the game to target its 16,300 fans.
"The purpose is to bring awareness to the census," he said. "We try to do high-visibility events."
Parks said the vehicle was traveling from Arkansas to Minnesota with two drivers and their new dog, all of
whom sleep in the recreational vehicle.
"This is MTV with the census." Parks said.
John Fortney, Atlanta resident and one of the van's drivers, said the yellow mutt puppy, Cencolo, was from a litter in Fort Smith. Ark.
"He's awesome," he said. "He keeps us sane."
Fortney said he was working for Alem International, a publicity company based in Boulder, Colo., with which the government had a contract to promote the census.
Parks said students should fill out and mail in their census forms because that would help ensure that Lawrence received its fair share of federal dollars.
"Twenty-three out of the top 25 federal agencies depend upon census data to distribute money," he said.
The federal census has two challenges to overcome. Parks said — the timing of
the university's spring break and the fact that Kansas is doing its own census at the same time.
He said one concern was that students might return from break and throw out the form along with the regular stacks of credit card advertisements and blue coupon packets.
Census forms come out in the middle of March, just before students leave for break.
"If they can mail it in before spring break, that would be great." Parks said.
"It's addressed to the residence. You may think it's just junk mail," Parks said.
He said Kansas was the only state in the United States that conducted its own census.
In that census, KU students are counted as residents of their hometowns, he said, but the federal census is concerned with where people live on April 1.

University needs centralized office to address sexual assault strictly
On Feb. 25, Columbia University passed an unprecedented sexual assault policy that made Columbia the first and only university in the nation to have a full-time position dealing with issues of sexual assault on and off campus. The policy also mandates that students must make up at least one-third of all committees involved in examining cases of sexual assault.
Other universities, including the University of Kansas, also should make a stronger effort to fight sexual assault, which is an important issue on all campuses. The University should establish a system to deal with cases of sexual assault in a brisk and efficient way.
The University has several committees and organizations that address the issue
Coordinating organization would help students wade through duplicate services
of sexual assault. The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center is the main one. It aims to prevent and educate, and it works with individual victims of sexual assault in dating and domestic relationships. Moreover, it cooperates with several student organizations.
Other organizations include the Office of the University Ombudsman, Counseling and Psychological Services and Legal Services for Students. However, for as many resources as our campus has, it still lacks one main policy
or campaign that would deal solely with the issue of sexual assault. When dealing with an issue of such magnitude is delegated to various offices and organizations, the purpose can be undermined.
The University needs a main office that will concentrate on sexual assault, coordinating events of awareness and prevention, providing support to assault victims and ensuring that disciplinary action is taken.
Student input and participation are essential in establishing such an system. The organizations that already are dealing with the issue should unify and coordinate in making the KU community aware of the issue of sexual assault and in implementing and enforcing an efficient policy.

Academic, business boundaries blur
Universities across the nation are experiencing a crisis. They are acting along business principles instead of academic ones, as corporations pirate their research. Because the University of Kansas could fall into this trap, we must establish a strong boundary between the University and businesses.
The Bayh-Dole Act, which allows universities to patent technological advances, has merged the university and corporate world into an academic industrial complex. Research-based departments now are beholden to corporations that help finance their research.
The problem is that with the introduction of commerce into academia comes a competitive mindset. Professors and their graduate students are reluctant to share research findings
Confidentiality agreements have no place in academia; University need clear limits
In one case at the University of South Florida, a graduate student who had made a breakthrough in removing ammonia from waste water was prosecuted by the university, which had an agenda of protecting its intellectual property that conflicted with its responsibility to the student and the academic world in general.
porate America on a college campus is beneficial. Corporations endow universities with the materials they need and can't get from public revenue. But this financing doesn't justify the harm of making the academic system function in such a contradictory manner.
with colleagues, and corporate sponsors often require confidentiality agreements to protect what they view as trade secrets.
The University of Kansas is prominent in the field of scientific research and easily could become a victim of this phenomenon. The solution is to set clear boundaries for both corporations and universities. Corporations should be allowed to promote their philanthropy by donating money to public institutions, but they should not be able to make demands and essentially buy a university. In turn, universities should stay out of the business world and remain in the business of expanding the limits of knowledge.

Perspective
Students' protests, riots not terrorist movement
Since my arrival at the West Bank, I have seen political activity that is unrivaled elsewhere. Two weeks ago, my political science professor was arrested by the Palestinian National Authority for speaking out against the party's corruption and bureaucracy. Shortly
after that, the president of the Birzeit University and leader of the Islamic bloc was arrested by the Israeli government.
Students have continued their protests against these arrests and Israel's invasion of South Lebanon. This has resulted in demonstrations and canceled classes. And demonstrations in the Golan Heights against Israeli occupation continue to receive media attention.
Despite all that I've seen, I don't think that my memory

ever will erase watching about 100 students throwing stones during a protest against the presence of French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin.
Aside from the fact that Saturday normally would be a day off for me back home, my Saturday two weeks ago was more or less like a normal school day at Birzeit University. The significant difference was the anticipated visit of Jospin and other French dignitaries to the university's law institute. It was a beautiful day, and the French flag had been raised along side the Palestinian flag.
But beneath the apparent serenity, campus leaders and members of student political parties assembled to protest a statement made earlier by Jospin that the Lebanese group Hezbollah, viewed here as resistance fighters against the Israeli occupation of South Lebanon, was a terrorist group whose actions would not be tolerated by the French government. The protests began peacefully with students shouting slogans, trying to disrupt the atmosphere with politically charged speeches and banners. Jospin was even able to complete his speech with few interruptions except for one notable Palestinian youth who screamed, "We consider you a traitor," in perfect French.
It was Jospin's departure from campus that led to student riots. A small number of students simultaneously began throwing stones at Jospin and the other visitors. The riot quickly turned
violent as the stones landed on cars, went through glass and grazed people's heads. Jospin was protected by bodyguards from the Palestinian National Authority.
Reports after the incident suggested that Jospin was slightly grazed by a stone but otherwise unharmed. A minister from the Palestinian National Authority also was grazed in the head, but the event left no one seriously injured, except, of course, the students of Birzeit University, especially those who threw the stones. Yasser Arafat, Palestinian National Authority chairman, condemned the student protesters and officially shut down the university for three days.
In a place like the West Bank, the closure of a university signals that the national authority does not support a student protest and is punishing all students collectively, despite the fact that only a few threw the stones. Now students are organizing their own protests on campus and within the city to oppose the arrests made by the Palestinian police.
Since the riot, the European and Israeli media have portrayed the students at Birzeit as ignorant, if not outright terrorists. The intensity of the international response has increased pressure on the university to crack down on the students.
Since I've been here, I have spent a lot of time contemplating the West's perception of resistance versus its perception of terrorism. What is happening here cannot simply be labeled terrorism.
ble labeling most forms of resistance in this area — except any offensive or defensive actions taken by the Israeli army — as terrorism. One conservative Israeli paper even claimed the university was a "training ground for students to learn terroristic tactics to achieve their political end." This is wrong.
I wonder what my response would be to another country's occupation of my hometown, coupled with arbitrary arrests of friends, relatives and loved ones. However people may perceive the students' actions, it is clear that what happened here is more complex than students throwing stones at Jospin out of disrespect. What happened was the result of frustration and anger at a politician who condemned a region one day and then expected to be received with open arms the next.

Scientific thought, inquiry key for Kansas children
There is ongoing dialogue and debate at the University of Kansas regarding evolution. This is how it should be.
The University of Kansas Ecumenical Christian Ministries board represents diversity within the Christian faith. The board members are people from many denominations, professions and places in a spiritual walk, united by acceptance of the message and ministry of Jesus Christ.
We differ theologically and politically on many issues, but we put aside those differences
on any occasion where such differences may impede our objective of serving, teaching and learning at the University. It is in this spirit that we respond to the recent Kansas State Board of Education decision concerning the teaching of evolution, Big Bang theory and other scientific principles dealing with the origins and progression of our universe.
P. D. MILKIN

We are first and foremost a Christian organization that strives to understand
its own faith and to be Christ's representatives to students, faculty and staff at the University. Our faith and commitment to Christ compel us to work for a just society free from oppression from the state, the church or any other organization. We believe Christ's message to be inclusive and based on principles of compassion and love for women and men as sisters and brothers in our time on Earth. As such, we affirm the basic rights of all people in our society, particularly those who find themselves in the minority. We believe that the Bill of Rights provides basic individual protections that cannot be taken by any majority.
The specific right central to this issue is the right to practice religious beliefs without interference from the government. This includes the right to an education that is not unduly influenced by any religious system. We unanimously oppose the decision of the Board of Education. This decision offends us as a Christian community. Factual analysis leads us to the conclusion that this decision represents a
frontal attack on the teaching of modern scien tific principles in the state of Kansas.
Although rhetorically inclusive, the only intent of this decision is the removal of accepted scientific principles from Kansas educational standards. The decision to de-emphasize is based solely on a perceived threat to one religious viewpoint, not on any properly conducted and peer-reviewed scientific process. Science curriculum must be based on scientific principles, not religious dogma. Most particularly, it should not be modified for the sole purpose of consistency with one highly sectarian interpretation of the Genesis story, particularly when that interpretation claims literal truth. God and Christ do not fit in that box.
Any changes to Kansas educational practices must be based on national and international scientific standards. Most troubling to us is the statement implicit in the debate that young people must choose between scientific inquiry and Christianity (or any other religious tradition)
— that somehow understanding the physics of light refraction through water or the biology of disease diminishes the beauty of a rainbow or the miracle of a medical procedure. Interpretation in the physical and metaphysical worlds should not be intertwined.
The secular tragedy in this debate is the denial of such joys to young people in our state who are just beginning their great journeys of discovery. The Christian tragedy is the use of Christ's message to implicitly exile young people whose gifles lie in scientific inquiry. All this is in the name of one selfish attempt to make ourselves the center of God's creation. We should not forget the lesson of Galileo, whose heresy was to suggest that the earth was not the center of creation.
Defining causality and characterization in the physical world is the role of science. Providing meaning and purpose is the role of religion. For the practicing scientist and the layperson, each day is an adventure in discovering the beauties in the universe. Each day is an opportunity to see a Creator God revealed in the intricacies of the functioning of ourselves, our societies, our planet, solar system and universe. There is poetry in mathematics, music and science, and joy in understanding our world.

Competition to draw blood
Drive for pints pits University against K-State
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kansas.com
Kansan staff writer
The American Red Cross and members of four University of Kansas student housing organizations are urging students to "Give It Up" during the spring blood drive, which starts today and runs until Friday.
The spring drive is an annual competition between the University of Kansas and housing organizations at Kansas State University. The Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association, Association for University Residence Halls and All Scholarship Hall Council sponsor the event.
"Our main goal is to beat K-State," said Katy Ferrell, Solomon sophomore and Panhellenic officer for the blood
drive. "We haven't had the trophy for a while."
KU collected 637 pints of blood in last years drive, and this year's goal is 750 pints, said Judy Green, donor resources development consultant at the Lawrence branch of the American Red Cross, 2518 Ridge Court.
She also said that she wasn't sure when the Kansas State blood drive was but that it was generally around the same time as the University of Kansas'. Last year, K-State collected about 850 pints of blood.
Green said that totals were calculated daily and that there should be a solid estimate by late Friday evening of this year's drive.
She said it was important for people to come out to donate because there was a higher demand for blood now than there was during the fall blood drive.
colds and cannot donate."
"There's always a need for fresh, safe blood," she said. "This time of year particularly because the donor pool base is smaller because people have
Green said three people could receive blood treatments for every pint of blood donated and stressed that donated blood would be used for a great cause. Ferrell agreed.
"It's an opportunity to save a life and help somebody who really needs it," she said.
The Red Cross office in Wichita will coordinate and provide the equipment for the blood drive, said Jennifer Green, donor recruitment representative at the Wichita office. She said the Wichita branch served the Lawrence area and more than 100 hospitals throughout Kansas and northern Oklahoma.
"You are helping everybody throughout the state when you donate." Jennifer Green said.
Judy Green said the risks involved in donating blood were minimal.
"You might get a little light-headed or have a small bruise," Judy Green said. "But all of the equipment and procedures are performed in sterile, medical conditions."
For more information on donating blood to the Red Cross, which provides nearly half of the nation's blood supply, call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE or the Lawrence branch at 843-3550.

Symposium showcases students' research
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Months of research and work culminated in a gathering of more than 50 undergraduates Saturday at the Kansas Union.
Students in more than 20 departments displayed and presented their projects at the third annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. Most of the projects were related to science.
"I've heard that all the students are impressed with each other's work," said Barb Schowen, director of the honors program.
Sharon White Falkner, Lawrence senior, agreed with Schowen.
In her project "Investigation of Pre-Christian Hawaiian Iconography," Falkner displayed a painting of a Hawaiian woman titled "Pele's Hair," which she painted last semester.
"I really have enjoyed the talks, and people seem well prepared," she said. "You can tell it's definitely not something they cooked up last night."
Falkner's project focused on Hawaiian myths.
"I tried to describe myths in a more Hawaiian term," she said. "They had been translated by Christian missionaries into English, and they changed the tenor of the myths."
alkerman, who used to live in Hawaii, attended Chaminade University in Hawaii and worked at Iolani Palace, which was built by the Royal Hawaiians in the 18th century and was influenced by European architecture.
One project was slightly different from most of the others at the symposium.
Brian Baker, Prairie Village senior, looked at drugs and their inclusion in literature. He said his project was related to both of his majors, English and East Asian Studies.
"A lot of drugs are mentioned in literature," he said. "Anyone who studies Chinese history has to see how its relationship with the West is tied up in the opium trade."
Baker displayed more than 25 artifacts. Empty bottles of narcotics more than 100 years old, old syringes and newspaper clippings were included. He said he bought the artifacts off Internet auctions.
Although the symposium was for undergraduates, there were very few sophomores involved. Only one, Jeremy Wolff, Derby sophomore, was on the symposium committee.
"It's kind of odd," he said. "I feel kind of young here."
Wolff began work on his project last summer with the help of his adviser, Thomas Armstrong, professor of physics and astronomy. He also received an Undergraduate Research Award.
Schowen said the projects helped students solidify their interests and were a chance to show potential employers and graduate schools what they could do.
"I think that doing research helps clarify people's career goals," she said. "This is kind of what it's all about. They've learned valuable research techniques they can take with them."

University to add laser technology to curb speeders
Drivers on the University of Kansas campus may want to start slowing down next fall after the KU Public Safety Office upgrades its speed-detection equipment.
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Sara Shepherd
A department panel met Wednesday afternoon to discuss purchasing two laser-type speed-detection units with funds from a federal government Local Law Enforcement block grant.
Sgt. Rose Rozmiarek said it was difficult for the office's old speed-detecting radar to pinpoint a specific vehicle in busy traffic. With the new lasers, isolating a targeted vehicle would be more accurate, she said.
"There really is no question on what car we're targeting," Rozmiarek said. "Overall, it's going to give us a better detection of the actual sweeder."
Rozmiarek said the department had four marked patrol cars with old radar equipment.
Chris Keary, assistant director of the office, said the new lasers would phase out some of the radar units, which were nearing the end of their useful lives.
Rozmiarek said the lasers also would be used as measuring devices for traffic or crime scenes and to monitor intersections for traffic studies.
While laser technology will be more advanced, it won't be cheap. Each unit carries a price tag of $3,645 — batteries not included.
Rozmiarek said $8,315 would be used to purchase two laser units and battery modules. Ninety percent of that total is federal money, and 10 percent was matched by the Public Safety Office.
The state asks for agencies to apply for money from the Local Law Enforcement block grant and then determines where to allocate the funds.
Rozmiarek said it would probably be about four months before the lasers were in use.
Not including unticketed stops, KU police handed out 296 tickets in 1998 and 439 tickets in 1999. Bailey attributed the large increase of tickets to the increase of officers on the street from 1998 to 1999.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey said all speeding tickets issued by the KU Public Safety Office were written through Lawrence municipal court.
Rozmiarek said the Public Safety Office tried to take proactive measures in traffic control. Karen earned
Keary agreed.
"We're trying to make this University safer by getting people to slow down," he said.
Cathleen Abel, assistant city prosecutor, said she was happy to see the new technology.
She said it was complicated to explain radar-detection systems to motorists in court so they could understand why they were ticketed. The process of laser detection was simpler, she said.
"If anything, I think it helps the person who got the ticket to understand." Abel said.

Skits illustrate Asian-American issues
Under the watchful eye of the Jayhawk plaque at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, the theatrical group Here and Now performed for about 90 people Saturday.
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Ryan Blethen
The Los Angeles-based group came to the University of Kansas for this year's Asian-American festival. The 10 members of Here and Now addressed Asian-American issues.
But the show's themes weren't aimed exclusively at that group, said Binh Thai, Larned junior.
"You don't have to be Asian to understand it," Thai said.
The show began as the performers filtered through the crowd and
grabbed about 15 people from the audience for a game of red light-green light. The audience members onstage were told to walk in different styles, like Batman or someone who needed to go to the bathroom. The crowd cheered when the participants broke into an uncoordinated stagger when told to walk like someone from Kansas State University
After the game of red light-green light, the audience members stayed onstage and participated in an exercise — a kaleidoscope of movement and sound. Each person had to perform a motion that signified what the person next to them was doing. Then each person incorporated sounds into the act.
Once the audience members took their seats, Here and Now moved into the heart of its performance. It
started off with a folk story about the Vietnamese holiday Tet.
One skit dealt with how whites viewed Asian Americans. A woman from the group danced to center stage, where she stopped and told the story about a Caucasian woman who asked if she would order her sushi. She described the woman as having a patronizing look that implied to say, "You speak English well for an American."
"You know that look," she said. "I think to myself 'Who is this lady? Is she from Johnson County?' "
She went on to tell the crowd she had never been to Japan but faked a Japanese accent to fit others' perceptions of Asian Americans.
Here and Now ended its performance with the members telling childhood stories with acoustic guitar
accompaniment.
After the program, the group field ed the crowd's questions.
John Miyasaki, the group's founder and director, was asked if all stories performed were true. He said that they were and that people should be allowed to tell their stories, which in some societies is not always possible.
Frank Liu, China junior, said that he had not seen Here and Now before but that he enjoyed the show and could relate to the issues raised in the performance.
"I feel they are the same issues I have experienced," Liu said.
The Asian-American festival continues this week and ends with the Taste of Asia banquet 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Avenue.
Students, teachers bring language skills to French Table
By Karen Lucas
Special to the Kansan
University of Kansas students can brush up on their French while savoring a cup of espresso at a local cafe.
La Table Française, sponsored by the department of French and Italian, meets from 4:30 to 6 p.m. every Thursday at La Prima Tazza, 638 Massachusetts St.
"It is a social event and also a learning experience," said Tom Stout, McLouth resident and former French student. "You'll get more opportunity to speak French at the French Table than you would going to class five days a week."
Graduate teaching assistants in French have held the meetings at the cafe since the fall. They have had better attendance there than at the Kansas Union, where they met last year, said Daniela Teodorescu, French GTA and Lawrence graduate student.
"This provides a much more informal atmosphere than the Union," said Shammuga Purushothaman, Madras, India, graduate student. "It's like hanging out with friends."
Teodorescu said two other things helped increase turnout — a later meeting time and strong GTA support. Some GTAs have attended every meeting and have encouraged their students to come as well, she said.
At last Thursday's meeting, about 20 participants, including students at different levels, two professors and four GTAs, gathered in the cafe. Laughter punctuated the various French conversations.
Although La Table Francaise mainly inspires informal conversation, sometimes creativity takes center stage.
Travis Swink, Sioux Falls, S.D., freshman and regular participant, said at one meeting he wrote a poem in French about a waterfall and shared it with the others.
"It was great." Teodorescu said. "It had images that were incredibly original."
And even though Stout does not take a French class this semester, he comes to the meetings at La Prima Tazza, which he said had a French-like setting.
"Cafes are a major part of French life," he said.
"This is as close to Paris as you'll get in Lawrence."
Celebration marks colorful Hindu holiday
Day marked with cultural dances, food
By John Audlehelm writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas Cultural India Club celebrated the upcoming Hindu holiday Holi — the Festival of Colors — Saturday night with a dinner of Indian food and Rangoli, a show with Indian song and dance.
Club president Sandeep Misra, Faridabad, India, senior, said the show's name came from a design of colors used in Indian celebrations.
He said that although the March 19 holiday was called Holi, Rangoli was a nickname the club used.
Giri Gokulrangan, club treasurer and Madras, India, graduate student, said the dinner, which was held at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Avenue, featured mild- to medium-spicy northern Indian food.
After the dinner, the roughly 200 diners went to the ballroom in the Kansas Union to see the show.
Gokulrangan said that most people who attended the event came for both the dinner and the show but that the show had an audience of about 230.
The performance started with a traditional Hindu prayer.
"Anything that is supposed to start right, you start with a prayer," Misra said.
But after that, the show was mostly modern Indian song and dance — along with three fashion shows.
The last fashion show featured four women in colorful Indian dresses and four men in Western-style business suits.
"I would say it's about 70 percent
modern, 30 percent traditional," Misra said.
Between the dances and fashion shows were skits about an American-Indian family traveling from the United States to Indian cities, including Bombay, Punjab and Delhi. Misra played the father in the skit.
In each location the family saw, along with the audience, performances that represented that part of India.
Misra said the performers were not all club members.
Adam Martz, Wichita junior, played guitar in an American song, the Eagles" "Hotel California."
Makarand Patil, Bombay, India, graduate student, said Holl was a celebration of the triumph of good against evil.
"It's a time to enjoy," he said. "Forget all your worries and tensions."
During the holiday, Patil said, Hindus also combine colored powders with water and decorate one another to signify that life is colorful.
Monica Bhatnagar, club member and Overland Park junior, said she had been in India for the holiday.
She said that when she was in India she and her friends filled up their water guns with colored water and sprayed each other.
"At the end of the day you end up all colored up," she said. "It's a lot of fun."
Anand Sundaram, Bombay, India, graduate student and cultural chair of the club, said India was made up of many different cultures.
The purpose of the show, he said,
was to put that diversity together
and present it to both themselves
and the world.

KU geologists search state for diamonds
By Jennifer Knopp Special to the Kansan
Mining companies are not the only ones looking for diamonds these days.
Pieter Berendsen, senior scientist at the Kansas Geological Survey and Kevin Dobbs, Lawrence graduate student, are studying three rare kimberlite rock formations — the sources of diamonds — they discovered in Marshall and Riley counties in Kansas.
There are thousands of kimberlites throughout the world, but only about 80
contain enough diamonds to make mining profitable, Berendsen said.
Kimberlites are pipes of volcanic material, or magma, that explode to the surface and produce greenish-gray rocks. If the magma rises fast enough, it releases pure carbon to form a diamond.
Geologists and mining companies locate kimberlite craters using aeromagnetic detection. Dobbs said that was the only way to locate the formations because erosion and weathering had made them indistinguishable.
"The thing is, in Kansas we only have one kimberlite where we can see part of the crater," Berendsen said.
Cominco American, a mining company, looked for kimberlites aerially in northeastern Kansas during the early 1980s and discovered some of these unusual magnetic signatures, Berendsen said. The company then gave the data to the geological survey, and Dobbs and Berendsen discovered the kimberlites last fall in Riley and Marshall counties.
Aside from the lure of finding diamonds, Berendsen said the rocks produced other benefits, such as accurate geological maps of Kansas.
"They can tell you something about events of the past and things going on much deeper in the crust." Dobbs said.
The chances of finding diamonds are slim to none anyway, and the profits almost never offset the expenses of the process. Berendsen said.
Former workers accuse Coke of 'ethnic cleansing'
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Hundreds of African American former Coca-Cola employees rallied Saturday, calling the company's massive job cuts "ethnic cleansing" and accusing the soft-drink giant of severely mistreating workers.
"Blacks in the company are humiliated, intimidated, yelled at, called the N-word, treated with disrespect," said Larry Jones, a former Coke
manager who organized a meeting of about 500 laid-off African-American workers Saturday at a church outside Atlanta.
"This is the real thing," he said, mocking a company slogan. "This is the real Coca-Cola."
Coke spokesman Ben Deutsch called the allegations of racial discrimination in the job cuts outrageous.
"The decisions we're making are being done for business
purposes only," he said. "We are trying to do everything we can during this extremely difficult time to do the right thing for our current and former employees at every turn."
Protesters applauded Coca-Cola's decision not to require laid-off workers to sign a waiver forcing them to choose between participating in a discrimination lawsuit pending against the company or enjoying better severance benefits. But the workers said a future
boycot of Coca-Cola by African-American leaders remained an option.
The waiver had left African-American workers with a difficult decision because of a racial discrimination suit filed last year by current and former African-American employees.
Coke is reducing its worldwide work force by 6,000, with 2,500 of the eliminated jobs coming from its Atlanta headquarters.
Plaintiffs in the lawsuit contend that Jones, an African-American human resources manager, was laid off Feb. 15 after meeting with Coke President Jack Stahl to express African-American employees' concerns about job cuts.
"What happened on Feb. 15 was essentially ethnic cleansing," Jones said.
Football coach Allen helps to raise roofs
Continued from page 1A
The HomeBuilders campaign is a program with a goal to raise enough money to build six houses this year. The houses cost about $48,000 each, and the funds are raised through donations from the HomeBuilders, people who pledge money per month, per house or by the year, Klinker said.
Klinker said that this year Habitat hoped to raise about $300,000.
As honorary chairman, Allen has agreed to lend his name and support to the cause.
“It's one of those things that you feel honored to be asked to do,” said Allen. “I've followed Habitat since I got here, and I think it's a great thing for our community.”
Klinker said she asked Allen to be the chairman because he had always been a strong supporter of the program.
"When I asked him if he would do this, he didn't hesitate." Klinker said.
Plans for the next three houses, which are to be built in the same area, already are underway, and Klinker said the next three families already had been selected.
Klinker also said that to be eligible, families must show a need for adequate housing, an ability to make payments of nearly $400 per month and readiness to partner with Habitat. They must be residents of the Douglas or Johnson county areas in order to be eligible for a Habitat house.

Students dissect bodies and emotions in biology class
By Clay McCuistion
R
ebecca Cartar remembers the first time she cut into a dead body.
"I was really cautious," said Cartart, Lawrence senior. "I was just trying to be very careful. It was almost more like a surgery, like you're trying to deal with a live human."
She soon noticed, though, that the texture of the corpse's skin was unusual.
"It's so rubbery and well preserved, almost like a rubber Halloween mask," she said. "You can almost put yourself away from thinking of it as a human."
Cartart isn't a grave robber, mortician or mad scientist. Instead, she's one of more than 60 University of Kansas undergraduates enrolled in Biology 302 — an anatomy lab devoted to dissecting six human cadavers. Another 60-some students take Biology 301 — an observation class that also learns from examining the corpses. There are six sections altogether devoted to study of the bodies.
Chris Sheil, Lawrence graduate student, is one of five instructors who oversee the courses. He said the course was special because students were allowed to dissect the bodies themselves and the University received a half-dozen fresh bodies each semester from the KU Medical Center.
"It's really unusual," Sheil said.
Many universities only use one cadaver a year or re-use cleanly dissected bodies, he said. Here, students benefit from hands-on experience with different body types. The focus in both the observation and dissection sections is on identification of muscles, tendons, nerves and other soft tissue structures.
"It's really intense, actually, as far as the kind of material that's required," Shell said.
In general, pre-nursing, pre-physical therapy and occupational therapy majors enroll in the class. Pre-med students take more intensive anatomy classes later on in their schoolwork.
An evening in the lab
Students bustled around in white lab coats and latex
Wednesday night, about 35 students gathered in the lab on the first floor of Haworth Hall to work on the cadavers. The long, narrow room was brightly lighted, the air suffused with the sweetly bitter smell of preservative.
"It's so rubbery and well preserved, almost like a rubber Halloween mask. You can almost put yourself away from thinking of it as a
human."

stand in white lab coats and latex gloves. They poked and prodded the six bodies, which lay head to toe on individual metal tanks. The heads and groin areas of the cadavers were covered with brightly patterned bath towels, leaving the already dissected legs and arms open for examination.
The students were reviewing for an exam.
Shell worked intently with the group, bending over cadaver No. 4 (a former 74-year-old photo developer)
(up) accordingly to nide tacked up on one side of the room) and carefully wielding a pair of forceps.
"We cleared out the superscapular artery vein and nerve," he told the class. "Everybody make sure to get a look at that."
Students looked up from their cadavers in interest. They held sheets of paper covered with the names of the upper extremity soft structures they would be required to know for the test this week.
Shell said he made sure to treat the corpses with respect. "We're pretty much stewards of the bodies while we're here," Shell said.
Students are apprehensive at first,but tend to adjust.
"I've never had problems," Shell said. "I've been doing this eight semesters, and I've never had problems with people getting sick."
The work of dissection — cutting off the skin, clearing away the fat — can be intensive, though. Students aren't always mentally prepared to start cutting and slicing at a dead human body.
"In the beginning of the semester, it takes a lot of time to get them to do what they're expected to do," Sheil said.
"There are these sorts of issues that you don't have with a cat."
Shell teaches his dissection lab from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. At the beginning of the semester, students are uneasy about going to lunch directly afterward, he said. The squeamishminess fades, though.
"By the middle or end of the semester, all people can talk about is how hungry they are," Shell said.
Getting underneath the skin
"We have a kind of ambiguity toward the corpse," he said. "When you see a corpse, you still identify it as the person the corpse was."
Don Marquis, professor of philosophy, said that the usual frightened reaction to a dead body was natural.
Marquis took a human anatomy course as an undergraduate and said that students had to distance themselves from thinking of cadavers as human. The only way to get work done is thinking of the corpse as another lab specimen.
Students adjust quickly because the preserved body is so different from a conscious, breathing person. Especially when the skin is removed and the muscles and bones become visible, the body becomes less human.
"I think there is a peculiar psychology going on." Mar-
and emotions
istion
Marquis, who has tackled abortion and other horny medical ethics questions in his work, said it was important to remember that attitudes toward death and cadavers varied.
"I think there's people who couldn't imagine donating their body to an anatomy lab," Marquis said, "while there would be other people who have no problems with it."
When Sheil was asked if he'd donate his body for dissection, he laughed and shook his head.
"No," he said.
In the class
Carttar, a pre-nursing major, was part of the group reviewing the corpses Wednesday evening. She said the class was one of her favorites at the University.
"We're able to really visualize and see where everything is," Carttar said. "I think it's a really good way to learn."
She said her enthusiasm for the class filled over into her conversations with the describes her progress in the thoroughly.
Finally get pretty detailed," Carttar said. "Most of my family and friends can handle it. But usually it's over a meal, so some of them have to leave."
Carttar said that being in the class has life.
Carttar, "Carttar, we are in the class have want to lose weight or start she would donate her body for dis-
to say I would, but I'd rather be ashes," Carttar said. "It's a hard thing."
She review continued through the evening, clients began to trickle out of the laboratory. The cadaver at the end of the long room was No students surrounded it, eagerly their pencil-covered notebook pages reviewed sheets.

The rest of the laboratory chattered and bustled.

Senior day meant show-time day for Nick Bradford.
Bradford, Kansas 6-foot-7 senior forward, came up big during No. 23 Kansas 83-82 victory against Missouri yesterday during his final game at Allen Fieldhouse.
Before the game, Bradford and fellow seniors Lester Earl, Ashante Johnson and Terry Nooner were honored with flowers at center court and received a standing ovation from the capacity crowd of 16,300.
But during the game, Bradford was all business.
"It was a nice beginning to get the standing ovation and everything." Bradford said. "But after they jumped the ball, it was a basketball game."
And what a basketball game it was.
Bradford finished his career at the fieldhouse by grabbing eight rebounds and scoring 15 points, which included four straight buckets for Kansas in a key second-half spurt.
"I just didn't want to go down not fighting." Bradford said. "I think I just wanted to try and play hard and show people that we wanted to win this game."
Kansas, 22-8 and 11-5 in the Big 12, was on its way to winning the game after leading 45-42 at halftime. The Jayhawks then jumped all over Missouri at the beginning of the second half and at one point were up by 14.
But the Tigers kept plugging away with their three-point shooting — they hit 14 threes — and pulled to within 65-61 with 8:08 remaining.
"Nick really turned things around for us," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "He played really well when the team needed it."
That's when Bradford went off. The senior hit a jumper, then came up with a steal and threw down a two-handed dunk. He followed with a layup, then added a free throw. All in all, those seven points kept Kansas in the lead at 72-63.
The Jayhawks ended up needing all of Bradford's points when Missouri made one final push. The Tigers kept up their three-point barrage and took a one-point lead with less than two minutes remaining.
Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich then committed a turnover, but the Jayhawks clamped down defensively and did not allow the Tigers to score on the possession.
That put 43 seconds on the clock and gave Kansas the ball.
The Jayhawks milked 30 seconds off the clock and then fed the ball in to forward Drew Gooden, who was fouled intentionally with 13 seconds left by Missouri guard Jeff Hafer — Hafer's second intentional foul on the day.
Gooden hit two free throws, which gave the Jayhawks an 81-80 lead. After Hinrich added two more free throws, Missouri found itself down by three points with one last opportunity. But Keyon Dooling's three-pointer fell short, and Clarence Gilbert's tip-in wasn't enough to save Missouri.
The Jayhawks avenged a 22-point loss at Missouri on Jan. 22 with the win and also snatched fifth place in the Big 12 standings.
Missouri dropped to 17-11 and finished at sixth place in the Big 12 at 10-6.
The Jayhawks will play Kansas State at 2:20 p.m. Thursday at Kemper Arena in the Big 12 Conference Tournament.

They did it again, and this time on the grandest stage of all—Senior Day.
Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse was the final home game for four Kansas seniors, but it was Kansas three freshmen — Nick Collison, Drew Gooden and Kirk Himrich who stole the show.
"I watched Chris Carrawell from Duke on TV yesterday talk about how his guys wouldn't let him lose on their senior day, and I think Nick and Kirk and Drew did that for me today," said Kansas senior guard/forward Nick Bradford.
But while Duke cruised to a 90-76 win against in-state rival North Carolina, Kansas' game against its rival Missouri came down to the final seconds.
Kansas led most of the day and was up by 14, 63-49 at one point in the second half, but by way of the three-point shot, Missouri stormed back and took a one-point lead with 1:39 remaining.
After a Kansas turnover, the Jayhawks clamped down and forced the Tigers into a shot-clock violation. Kansas then had the ball, was down one point and had 39 seconds to work with.
Out of timeouts, Kansas had called a set play for Gooden. As the clock ran down and the Jayhawks worked the ball around, Gooden came open underneath and attacked the basket.

"Well, here we are at Allen Fieldhouse for Kansas vs. Texas. I'm Bob Davis here with Max Falkenstien, ready to watch the Jayhawks go for their 30th win of
the season. Roy Williams' team has been dominant this year, beating its opponents by an average of 23 points per game, in no small part because of the play of the three seniors, forwards Drew Gooden, Nick Collison and point guard Kirk Hinrich. Truthfully, we haven't seen a senior class like this since Jacque Vaughn, Jarod Haase and Scot Pollard in 1997."

"That's for sure, Bob. During the last three years Drew Gooden, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich have been the driving force behind Kansas resurgence. They're the No. 1 team in the country and show no signs of slowing down, Gooden and Collison are both John Wooden Award finalists and may share Big 12 player of the year honors, while Hinrick has pro scouts droloping with his play-making ability. We're in for a show today!"

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 6). The more you complete this year the wiser you'll become. Let an old promise motivate you in March. To achieve a goal you've set, action is required in April. Once you decide to do it, you can learn a difficult skill in May. A loved one follows your hunch in July. Find a new way to serve in August. You're put to the test in December, and logic previews next February.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
Do you need to talk with somebody? An apology you need to make, perhaps? This might be about something that happened years ago, but it's never too late to say you're sorry. Think about it and follow through on whatever pops into your head.
You need to discuss something that shouldn't be made public yet. You and your friend don't have a disagreement. You just need somebody safe to bounce ideas around with. How about a lunch date? But not where you always go.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
This is a good day to clean up old messes. If you think you may have hurt or disappointed an older person, make the first move. You may feel embarrassed about mentioning it, but your consideration will be greatly appreciated, even if you didn't do anything.
Cancer: Today is a 7.
If you're leaving on a trip, take care. You and your luggage could get separated, and detours or delays will be common. All having your chores done before you set out will help. That'll give you less to worry about.
Leo: Today is a 5.
Do you have anything that could have increased in value? Take it down to the appraiser and find out what its worth. Something else may be costing you more than you realize — those credit cards with the low introductory interest rates, for example. Check it out.
Your partner's in a creative mood, but take care. He or she may not be completely in touch with reality. You are most likely the practical member of the team. You don't have to say it in public but do speak up. You could make the difference between success and failure.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
Libra: Today is a 7.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
Make other people's well-being your first priority. Somebody nearby will appreciate your attention. When you need something, you come right out and ask, but some of the others are too tigh. If you provide what's needed, you'll be amazed at how good you feel.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Your sweetheart or a sensitive child could be slightly upset. You're a considerate person and a good listener. If your loved one needs to talk, cry or just hang around and not say anything, make yourself available. It'll mean a lot.
The odds are good there'll be a breakdown today or later on this evening. Staying home tonight is a better idea than going out. Emotions are pretty close to the surface, and tender loving care may be required for you, as well as for somebody else!
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You'd better make a list and check it often. Chances are good you'll have to race all over town, and even then you might not find anything. Your chances are better if you order over the phone, but confirm all your orders tomorrow.
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
P
You and a team member are most likely going around and around. The problem could be money. Cut expenses and save, for starters. You could come up with another source of revenue by following through on something you've already begun.
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Two people standing side by side.
Are you tripping over your feet, your words and just about everything else? If that's happening, slow down. Clean up your workspace — and your calendar, too. Do the homework. Double check everything. Turn this potential disaster into a benefit.

KANSAS SOCCER
'Hawks get victory, two ties in openers
LION
The Kansas soccer team opened spring play with a win and two ties on Saturday at a nine-on-nine indoor tournament in Iowa City, Iowa.
The Jayhawks, who played all three games in one day, tied Iowa 1-1, beat Minnesota 2-1 and came from behind and tied Wisconsin-Milwaukee 3-3.
in all three of its games.
"It wasn't too bad," Francis said.
"We came from behind in every game.
In the last game we actually were down 1-0, and then 3-1, and came back and tied it 3-3."
Coach Mark Francis said he was pleased with the way his team fought back in all three of its games.

Wichita State coach resigns under pressure

"I had some concern the program was not improving, but actually becoming worse," said athletics director Jim Schaus.
Schaus said he had decided to seek Smithson's resignation after the Shockers lost Saturday to Indiana State in the quarterfinals of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.
Smithson had two years remaining on his contract and had said after Saturday's game that he was hopeful of returning for a fifth season.

Smithson went 14-13 in his first season in 1996-97 and 16-15 in his second year, the first time the once-proud Wichita State program had consecutive winning seasons since the 1987-88 and 1988-89 seasons.

Furyk picks up victory after 6-shot comeback
Jim Furyk overcame a 6-shot deficit with seven holes to play, taking advantage of Franklin Langham's collapse and winning the Doral-Ryder Open yesterday.
With six birdies and a score of 30 on the back nine, Furyk closed with a 7-under 65 on another tame day at the Blue Monster. His four-day total of 265 tied the tournament record set by Greg Norman in 1993. Furyk won $540,000 in his fifth career victory.
It was a chilling replay of Pebble Beach last month, when Woods came from 7 strokes down with seven holes to play and beat fast-fading. Matt Gogel who, like Langham, was trying to win for the first time on tour
Langham managed just three pars and no birdies during the final six holes and closed with a 2-under 70. He had a chance to force a playoff, but rammed his 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th well past the hole and two-putted for par.
Langham, who held the lead for 28 consecutive holes, watched as Furyk sank a 5-foot birdie putt for a 2-stroke victory.
"The only person who could shoot 7-under and win was him, and he did it," Langham said. "For one reason or another, it wasn't my turn."

Still, within the parameters, Bottenfield has undergone a transformation of sorts. After an off-season working with a personal trainer and physical therapist, he's in the best shape of his life.
"I don't think you'll see a noticeable difference, but I know he's in great shape," said pitching coach Dave Duncan. "Some guys have the type of bodies where they can be in great shape and not look like Charles Atlas, but he's strong and his shoulder is strong."

The Kansas men's tennis team left the Alvamar Racquet Club Saturday afternoon with mixed emotions.
No. 9 Baylor defeated the Jayhawks 5-2, but not before several Kansas players could pull off some major individual upsets.
"We didn't play amazing tennis, but we didn't play poorly either," junior Ed Dus said. "We might not have won the meet, but we showed that we can play with anyone. You just have to take the good with the bad."
Dus and sophomore Rodrigo Echagaray shocked the country's No. 4 doubles team, David Hodge and Mark Williams, 8-5. With the victory, Dus and Echagaray improved their team-best doubles record to 13-8.
"Both of us were healthy for the first time in a while, and we weren't making as many mental errors as we have been," Dus said. "We cut down on our mistakes and played consistent tennis."
The Jayhawks other two doubles matches were close but ended in losses. Kansas coach Mark Riley said he thought the losses marked a big moment in the overall matchup.
"I think losing the doubles point really hurt us," Riley said. "All three matches were close, and we could have won each of them."
Echagaray scored another big upset when he beat the No. 14 ranked singles player, Johann Jooste. Echagaray lost the first set 2-6 but won the second 6-4. The match was tied 6-6 in the third set and Echagaray won the tie-breaker 4-3.
Kansas freshman Eleazar Magallan improved on his team-best 23-11 singles record by knocking off Hodge, who was the No. 98 singles player in the nation. The match went into two tie-breakers, one in the first set and another in the third. Magallan ended up winning the No. 2 singles match 7-6 (4-3), 5-7, 7-6 (5-2).

"I was pleased with their performance," Riley said. "But we're getting to the point where we expect production out of those two spots."
After Magellan's and Echagaray's big wins, the Jayhawks did not win another match. Kansas players Alex Barragan, Quentin Blakeney, Pete Stroer and Sabastian Libertino all lost their singles matches in two sets.
The team returns to the road next weekend as they face Nebraska on Saturday in Lincoln, Neb.
"We're going to have to play with the same emotion on the road as we do at home," Riley said.

Baseball goes 2-1 in series against Cyclones
Offense inconsistent but claims victories
By Amanda Kaschubis sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The 'Hawks weathered the Cyclones at home last weekend, winning two games in a three-game series that was defined by Kansas' inconsistent offense.
Kansas, 11-5 overall and 2-1 in the Big 12, struck first on Friday in the Big 12 conference opener, attacking Iowa State, 4-12 overall and 1-5 in the Big 12. Senior Shane Wedd had a strong showing and went two for four. Junior Jesse Gremminger also turned in a strong performance with three hits in the 7-3 win.
But Saturday's doubleheader was a different story.
Kansas didn't find its offensive footing and scored only one run on five hits in the 4-1 loss. Adding to the poor Kansas at-bats was Iowa State hurler Charly Bigwood, who went the distance and fanned 10 'Hawks along the way.
"We didn't have any offense in the first game," coach Bobby Randall said. "They had a great pitcher. There was no potency in the lineup from one to nine. We need the guys in the middle to hit, too."
"You have to take one bat at a time," Wedd said. "It was tough."
The core of the lineup struggled — the No. 3, 4 and 5 hitters were just one for 11 for Kansas, and Gremminger and Wedd each went zero for four.
Bigwood's pitching performance outshined the efforts of Kansas junior Pete Smart, 23, who went eight innings and
allowed only two runs.
"How can you pitch better than Pete?" Randall said. "He kept us real close, but we had a hard time of scoring runs. I took him out because he was throwing too many pitches. We didn't make it a competitive game for him."
After a poor showing in game one, Randall said he was worried that the Jayhawks wouldn't recover for the second game of the twin bill. But they did, scoring 11 runs on 11 hits behind sophomore pitcher Jeff Davis, who gave his team six solid innings.
"You have to go out there and win the next game," Davis said. "You have to put it behind you, whether you were blown out or you won. You just correct and go at it."
The three, four and five batters found their rhythms in game two. Gremminger tied his career high three-hit game, Wedd hit two singles and stole his first base of the year and Ryan Klocksen chipped in with two hits and a career-high four RBI.
"We came back with fire and played much more spirited baseball," Randall said. "We were out-hit in the second game, but we had the runs without a million base hits. We've been playing the momentum game, but it worked."
PITCHER
Following the 11-6 win, Randall said his team plumed more alert baseball.
Iowa State never found its tempo. The Cyclones left 10 men on base and had a three-error fifth inning, in which Kansas score twice and a scuffle in the Cyclone dugout broke out.
"I told them that I may be the dumbest man, but I know when to steal, I know when to squeeze bait, and it does work sometimes if they listen to me," he said. "I thought we did a good job of coming back. We made things happen in the second game."

Texas swimmers prevail; Kansas takes fifth in Big 12

All eyes were on the Longhorns at the Men's Big 12 Swimming and Diving Conference Championships as they shattered their previous meet record, scoring 1.007 points — almost three times as many points as fifth place Kansas 336.
Nebraska finished second but was well behind the Longhorns with 649 points. All but two of the 21 events were won by top-ranked Texas.
Although the Jayhawks only finished ahead of rival Maimo, coach Gary Kempf was pleased
with his team's performance at the championships in College Station, Texas.
"We came in here picked to finish last, and we came out fifth," he said. "I was real pleased with Jon Reyes, Brandon Chestnut. Matt Hanson and Brian Klapper swam great fly races. Skip Reynolds and Drew Dischinger had outstanding senior meets. It was just a great way to end the season."
Junior Chad Sunderland took advantage of his first appearance at the championships by taking sixth in the 200 breaststroke. His final time of 2:30:29 was the fifth fastest in school history.
Several Jayhawks have provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships, which will be March 23-25 in Minneapolis, based on times they posted either at the Big 12 meet or earlier.
As expected, the Kansas seniors contributed in key spots. Chestnut qualified for the finals in the 100 breaststroke for the fourth consecutive year and finished sixth. His preliminary time of 55.84 was better than his finals time and placed him in consideration for the NCAA competition.
Reynolds, who was competing in his last meet, took sixth in the 400 individual medley, posting a 3:58.11.
Friday, Dischinger swam a 48.67 before putting up a 48.27, which was good enough to earn sixth place.
Dischinger set the school record in the 100 butterfly twice in one day. In the preliminaries on
"It was about as good as I could imagine it," Dischinger said.

Women's tennis rolls over Texas Tech
Single Jayhawk loss comes in final match
By Zac Hunter sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
1. 6-0.
The Kansas women's tennis team sailed to an 8-1 victory yesterday in its Big 12 Conference opener against the Texas Tech Lady Raiders.
It took only two and a half hours for the 'Hawks to beat the Lady Raiders after sweeping the six singles matches and going 2-1 in the doubles matches. The win improved the Jayhawks overall record to 7-2, while the loss dropped the Lady Raiders to 2-8 overall and 1-3 in the conference.
In the first match of the day, freshman Tiffany Chang set the pace for the 'Hawks by dismantling Tech's Michelle Colaniniin in 45 minutes, 6
Then sophomore Christi Wagenaar gained the second point of the meet by beating Noel Ruiz 6-1, 6-2. Wagenaar remains undefeated in the spring season with five wins.
Contrasting the ease of Chang's and Wagenaar's victories were the difficulties senior Brooke Chiller and sophomore Cheryl Malliah faced in their matches at the No.1 and 2 flights. Both matches went into three sets, and Kansas coach Jenny Garrity said she was pleased at the way both players battled back from losing their first sets.
The Lady Raiders avoided the shutout by winning the final doubles match of the afternoon. Chang and Chiller couldn't overcome several unforced errors and mental mistakes in the 5-8 loss. Lady Raiders Amanda Earhart and Ayako Suzuki played solidly through a series of advantage and
deuce points, but Chang said that she and Chiller should have won the match.
"They didn't do anything special," she said. "It was just a matter of whether we were on or off."
Kansas' No. 2 and 3 doubles teams had more success. Senior Julia Sidorova and siphomore Cheryl Malliaiah breezed to an 8-1 victory against Renee Pereira and Noel Ruiz, while junior Monica Sekulov and sophomore Lisa Malliaiah battled to an 8-4 victory against Sonnia Orellano and Colanini.
Despite only losing one of the doubles matches, Garrity said she was not happy with the way her team let down its guard after beating Texas Tech handily in singles competition.
Next up for the 'Hawks is a meet against Missouri on Wednesday at the Alvamar Racquet Club, 4120 Clinton Parkway.

Track team waits for fates to be decided for NCAAs

Jayhawks will be in Arkansas for this week's NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.
The number of 'Hawks hanging out in Fayetteville, however, is yet to be determined. After this weekend's last chance meets, one is in for sure, while four unofficially are making the trip.
Junior All-American Andrea Branson has been guaranteed a spot in the NCAA pole vault competition since Jan.21 when she cleared 13-feet-1. Meanwhile, sophomore Ryan Speers and juniors Jabari Wamble, Charlie Gruber and Ashley Feinberg each provisionally are qualified, which means their trips are based on everybody else.
Only 270 athletes make it to the NCAA championships, so for Kansas provisional athletes to be in Fayetteville come Friday, the athletes have to be in the top 16 or so of their events.
This weekend all but Feinberg, who is nursing a knee injury, attended the last chance meets attempting to better their qualifying marks.
In Ames, Iowa, at the Cyclones' Last Chance meet, Gruber and Speers each made strong showings. Gruber won the mile, recording a 4:01.81, barely missing the automatic qualifying time of 4:00 and recording the third-best time in school history.
Speers placed third in the shot put, recording his second-best performance of the year with a mark of 60'03".
"I think that I'm in," Speers said. "As far as we know no one below me got a better mark this weekend."
Meanwhile, at the University of Oklahoma Last Chance meet, Branson improved her qualifying mark and broke the school record for the indoor pole vault when she jumped 132".
"I accomplished what I wanted for the warm-up for NCAAs," said Branson, who placed first.
Also in the pole vault pit, freshman Vadim Gvozdetskiy came close in his bid to obtain a provisional mark. Gvozdetskiy recorded a personal best vault, 16'6", just short of the provisional mark of 17'2". On the track, Wamble recorded third place with a time of 48.48.
"We've got Andrea for sure, Ashley if she's healthy, Gruber will have his choice of the 800 or the mile, and Ryan and Jabari are really on the bubble, right on the edge," coach Gary Schwartz said.

Pride nets first-team Big 12 honor
By Chris Fickett
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Senior forward Lynn Pride has won an individual award, but the Kansas women's basketball team has yet to bring home team hardware this season.
Hoisting a second Big 12 championship trophy or earning a trip to the NCAA Final Four would top off the career of Pride, who was selected to the All-Big 12 Conference first team by the league's coaches Friday.
The honor was her third straight first-team selection and marked the ninth straight year a Jayhawk had been named to an all-conference first team.
"I am thrilled that Lynn was named to the Big 12 first team," coach Marian Washington said. "We are proud of her and all she has accomplished over her four years here. She is a great person and a tremendous competitor."
Although Pride has accomplished a lot during her Kansas career — she is in the school's top five all-time in scoring, rebounding, minutes and steals — her team has struggled out of the gate in its last six games, averaging only 28 points and 38 percent shooting in the first half.
Pride said re-establishing the team's half-court offense was critical, despite the consistent and stifling play of its defense.
"It a lot of work," she said. "But I feel we can always rely on our triple post. We just have to feel comfortable and just allow opportunities to come to us."
That patience will be paramount if Kansas faces Nebraska in the second round of the Big 12 tournament. The 'Huskers are 16-10 but beat the Jayhawks twice this year
Kansas, which is seeded fourth,
has a first-round bye and on
Wednesday will play the winner of
the fifth-seeded Nebraska vs. 12th-
seeded Baylor.
If the 'Huskers win, which is likely against the 7-19 Bears, the Jayhawks will have to work on defending the slashing play of Nebraska guards Nicole Kubik, an all-conference first-team selection, and Melody Peterson.
Kubik averaged 23 points per game against Kansas this season, and Peterson's quickness forced double-teams from the 'Hawks defense.
"The drive is the thing we have to constantly work on," Washington said. "On the other side of that, they should have to work on stopping us."
The Jayhawks return to practice today after spending most of Friday's practice working on their half-court offense, which Washington said she hoped would lead to better execution in the tournament.

"So when I look at our offense against them, we found ways to score. We need to build on that."
More conference honors
Although Pride won all-conference first-team honors, the rest of
Kansas' regular starters were selected to the league's honorable mention list. Senior guard Suzi Raymant, junior guard Jennifer Jackson and junior forwards Jaclyn Johnson and Brooke Reves made the team.

Freshmen ensure Senior Day victory
"I thought it was a hard foul, but I wasn't sure if it was intentional because I couldn't see the refs," Gooden said. "Really, I was focusing on the basket, because you can't rely on the refs all the time."
He didn't ever actually get to the basket though, because Missouri forward Jeff Hafer — the same guy who Gooden had left open to hit a three-pointer a few minutes earlier — grabbed Gooden's shoulders and was called for an intentional foul, his second of the game.
Gooden was sent to the line for two free throws. He hit both, and Kansas led 61-40 with 12.9 seconds remaining.
"That was my way of paying back the team and redeeming myself by knocking down those free throws at the end." Gooden said.
On the ensuing inbounds play, Hinrich was fouled, and he, too, hit both free throws, which gave Kansas an 83-80 lead.
"If you look down there you see the freshmen did pretty well," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "One of them had 11 [Innrich], one of them had 14 [Collison], and one of them had 20 [Gooden]. I was pleased with the way they stepped to the free-throw line and knocked
down those shots, and I was pleased with the way they played the last couple of possessions."
The Kansas freshmen were not the only three youngsters to play big Sunday, as Missouri's freshman forward Kareem Rush also shined, scoring a team-high 20 points and dishing out four assists.
"Kareem is outstanding, he can do it all." Bradford said. "If he got to play a little longer he would probably be Big 12 freshman of the year."
Rush missed nine games in the middle of the season because of a suspension regarding possible recruiting violations. He has played in Missouri's last 10 games and has proven that he has a bright future.
"I guess you could say it was kind of the future of the league out there today." Collison said.
Regardless of how well all of the freshmen performed on Sunday, Gooden and the rest of the Jayhawks emphasized that it still was Senior Day.
Missouri game gives glance to bright future
"We really wanted to win this game for the seniors," Gooden said. Williams agreed.
"My main focus today was winning so when those guys think of Senior Day, they think about a win," Williams said.
Continued from page 1B
That's when Gooden and Hinrich both made two free throws late in the game, which sealed the win for Kansas. Gooden scored 20 points, grabbed 13 rebounds. Hinrich ran the point the whole game because Jeff Boschee was in foul trouble, and Collison was his usual, solid self with 14 points."
"Those three were good that entire year, but the Missouri game was really their break-out performance. Now we can see what kind of players they've turned into. I almost feel sorry for Texas, especially with the way Hinrich, and DeShawn
Stevenson are shooting, Ever since Roy added the high screen to the offense, the three-point shot has been a lethal weapon for the 'Hawks."
"Gooden's and Collison's inside play is still the focal point of the offense, though. Having two All-Americans play inside makes Kansas not only the dominant Big 12 team, but the best team in America. So we'll see what kind of performance Gooden, Collision and Hinrich give on their Senior Day. I'm sure it'll be nothing short of spectacular."

and Roy's Boys adorned their typically shirtless backs with the letters "N-O-O-N-E-R."No sign at the fieldhouse, however, was better than the life-size cutout of senior forward Ashante Johnson.
There was Johnson's cutout yesterday, in the third row of the student section, wearing a Jayhawk T-shirt and Kansas basketball shorts. The cutout get up and wave during timeouts, dance to the band numbers and wave to the television cameras.
The Johnson cutout also signi-
fied two things about his maker.
One, he has great creativity.
Two, he needs a friend.
Worst Sign: Funny, because right next to the ingenious Johnson cutout was the worst of the day. Someone took the time actually to find out the telephone number of Missouri coach Quin Snyder's mother and tattoo it on poster board. Clearly this was an attempt to one up the behavior of the Antlers — Missouri's notorious student fan group that often does the same with the digits of Kansas basketball players.
There's only one problem with this behavior. It's moronic.
An unwritten rule of fandom states that if the Antlers do it, don't. That's one rule that probably should be followed.
Best Cheer: The ever-deadly "Air Ball" chant directed at Jayhawk-killer Clarence Gilbert in the second half. Not only was it the loudest awry-shot chant ever at the fieldhouse, it was so powerful even the alumni were chanting it. Now that's effectiveness.
Biggest Mistake Made By a Sports Columnist: Before the game, I planned to make a sign stating: "Congratulations Jeff Hafer, 2001 CBA Sixth Man of the Year," a tribute to the notoriously terrible lack of NBA basketball skills shown by the Missouri forward. Unfortunately, the idea never got on the drawing board. I chose to nap before the game instead. After Hafer committed
two flagrant fouls and was the subject of numerous boos, I kicked myself for not making the sign. Even worse, I'm still tired.
Best Display of School Spirit, the highest award that can be bestowed among the attendees of yesterday's game: The fans that had the "Muck Fizzzow" t-shirts printed. Simple idea, strong message. The only problem was that I couldn't get my hands on one.
Can anyone say "party foul?" The party of the year, and I was underdressed. Oh well, some guys just can't fit in.

Potter Lake polluted with oil
Water contaminated after recent explosion behind Strong Hall
By Doug Pacey writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Jennifer Booth, St. Charles, Ill.
freshman, walks her dog near Potter
Lake a few times a week.
But Asti, her 6-month-old yellow Labrador, no longer gets to go in the water.
"I used to let my dog swim in there until about a week ago," she said. "Then it was so oily, I stopped. I've talked to other people who walk their dogs there, and pretty much no one lets their dogs swim in there anymore."
Oil from the transformer that explod
ed behind Strong Hall a month ago has seeped into the lake, said Mike Russell, director of the department of environment, health and safety.
"Every time it rains, stuff gets pushed out of the storm drains," he said. "We've been working on this for the past three weeks — every day the weather is decent. We thought we had it last week, but then it rained again and more showed up."
Russell said that he did not know when it would stop.
"I wish it wouldn't do it anymore," he said. "I wish I knew when it would stop, but there are hundreds of feet of storm drains."
Booth told the Kansas Department of Health and Environment that Potter Lake seemed more polluted than usual.
Dan Wells, environmental geologist for KDHE, inspected the lake yesterday morning at Booth's request.
"There does appear to be a sheen of oil on the banks of the lake," he said.
"I used to let my dog swim in there until about a week ago. Then it was so oily, I stopped. I've talked to other people who walk their dogs there and pretty much no one lets their dogs swim in there anymore."

Russell said that a sponge-like absorbent material made of natural and man-made products was used to pick up the oil.
"I'm glad they're doing something about it," Booth said. "But it seems like things have gotten worse in the past week. I'm just worried about it."
Racial Profiling Part 1 of 3

State bill would require outside study of issue
By Katrina Hull
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
When Vincent Edward saw the flashing police lights, he didn't know what he had done.
Edwards, Wichita junior, had been driving through an affluent Wichita neighborhood looking at houses with a friend and his sister.
When police handcuffed Edwards and took him to the police station, he still didn't know why.
"You can be doing nothing," Edwards said. "According to the police, I was violating the midnight curfew, although they stopped me at 11-something at night."
Police told him they had seen suspicious behavior in the neighborhood. Edwards was released without charges.
But Edwards, an African American, said that police crossed the line between reasonable suspicion and race-based suspicion that night, a practice known as racial profiling.
BROOKLYN
Edwards: Was victim of racial profiling in Wichita
The Kansas House
passed a bill that would require the state to study whether racial profiling was a problem in Kansas. The bill is in the Senate Judicial Committee, which hasn't scheduled a hearing yet.
The original proposal by State Rep. David Haley, D-Kansas City, would have required law enforcement officers to record gender, age and race for every traffic stop.
But the House Judicial Committee, citing the expense from more paperwork, reworked the bill to require the state to hire an outside consultant to study racial profiling instead.
“It’s a weaker version,” Haley said. “I knew that given the amount of very conservative members that this was the best compromise we could hope for this year. I

do think it's a stutter step in the right direction."
gatey said that the allegations that recording and studying the data would cost too much — estimates ranged from $250,000 to $1 million — were unfounded.
He said his bill would have required law enforcement to make a simple pigmentation assessment — white or not white — and he didn't know how that could cost $1 million.
"The first successful class action lawsuit against the state would cost exponentially more than this study." Haley said.
Indeed, New Jersey lost $4 million in class action lawsuits for racial profiling, Haley told the Associated Press.
If the study shows that racial profiling is a problem, the state may be able to fix the problem before it escalates into a lawsuit, Haley said.
Sgt. George Wheeler, of the Lawrence police, said profiling, racial or otherwise, was not policy at the Lawrence Police Department.
"We don't do it and haven't done it," Wheeler said. "Each stop must stand or fall on its own merits."
Wheeler said any complaints that someone had been stopped because of his age or race were dealt with on an individual basis.

Fast-food chicken franchise may set up shop in Kansas Union
Tomorrow's story will deal with the legal questions, such as does the Fourth Amendment prohibit racial profiling?
By Joel Francis
Special to the Kansan
Mailboxes may be followed by chicken nuggets as more franchises look to sign on at the Kansas Union.
In addition to the new Mailboxes Etc.
David Mucci, director of unions, is considering adding a Chick-Fil-A chicken franchise.
"They have sent in a representative and submitted architectural plans," he said.
Barry White, the Chick-Fil-A representative working with Mucci, said he could not comment without University approval. A representative for Chick-Fil-A who would not reveal her name said that although no
date had been set, they were looking at a 2000 opening.
Chick-Fil-A has a location in Topeka.
"I love it," said Kristi Henderson, Topeka freshman. "The chicken salad sandwich and the waffle fries and the lemonade are great."
But even if the new store is added, the University of Kansas will be behind many other Big 12 Conference schools in number of union franchises.
The Kansas State University student union has 10 concept stores in its union, including Taco Bell and Burger King. The University has five.
Mucci said that the University of Kansas intended to be more selective in the businesses it allowed in the Union. Students ultimately have to subsidize the franchises that don't make money, he said.
"A school like K-State has all those services, but at this point the stores are not paying their own way." Mucci said.
Jack Connaughton, associate director of the Kansas State union, said every store in his union was making money.
"It early in the game, and some of the shops have just opened up," Connaughton said. "It appears we are doing OK in every one of our areas."
Each semester, KU students pay $22.50 in union fees and an $18.50 renovation fee. K-State students pay a $30 union operating fee
and $25 to pay off the union renovation bond
each semester.
"We receive probably one of the lowest student fees for a union in the Big 12," Mucci said. "That's good, but it requires that everything we put in generate money."
Some students don't seem to mind that the Union lacks name-brand variety.
"I'm satisfied with what we have," said Leah Gibbs, Santa Fe, N.M., junior. "If we have to eliminate some of the nonfranchise services to put in more stores, that would be fine. I wouldn't want to pay more to have them here."
Businesses must have enough sales to bring a profit to the Union, or must be popular enough to warrant a subsidy, Mucci said.
"The trick is to find the ones that are not net losers," Mucci said. "A store like Taco Bell might have marginal profits, but when it keeps people in the building, maybe that's a plus."
Though still in the honeymoon stage, the marriage between the Union and Mailboxes Etc. seems blissful.
"Mailboxes Etc. makes sense because we get rent, and they provide a service people need, which draws people to the building." Mucci said. "As you put these things together, each benefits each other as businesses, services and community draws."
Mardi Gras mania reaches Kansas
By Mandy Sampson Special to the Kansan
Some students said Mardi Gras, which ends today, was a great way to get away for the weekend. Even the long drive didn't get most students' spirits down.
It's time again for the annual homage to the shameless indulgence known as Mardi Gras in New Orleans. And, once again, University of Kansas students have flocked there in large numbers.
even in the crowd of people, Garry said that his group found other KU students that it didn't know.
"We drove 14 hours straight through the night," said Michael Garry, a Leawood junior who has gone to the festival the past two years.
"We start singing 'Rock Chalk Jayhawk' with them on Bourbon
Most people associate Mardi Gras, which means fat Tuesday in French, with a few days of reckless partying. The celebration is always scheduled 47 days before Easter.
Mardi Gras is traditionally characterized by parades that roll through town every day for the final two weeks of the season. Those who build the ornamented floats ride in full costume and throw strands of plastic beads to eager patrons who line the streets.
Street," he said.
Beads are worn at all times and are acquired by catching them from passing floats, by negotiation or trade, he said.
"There seems like there are 2 million people down there trying to catch beads," Garry said.
"The women down there will do almost anything to get beads — even if it means taking off their shirts," said Aaron Shriver, a McPherson graduate student who went to New Orleans this year.
Along with the parades, partial nudity and flashing, though not encouraged by police, have become part of the French Quarter scene.
But Katie Rodgers, Tulsa, Okla,
junior, who also went this year,
said men did things that were just
as humiliating.
"It's mainly an attention thing for the women who raise their shirts," Rodgers said. "But I think it's more degrading to the men who ask them to do it."
Although police often ignore women lifting their shirts and men dropping their pants in the French Quarter to get beads, police in other parts of town will arrest violators.
Local law enforcement allows alcoholic beverages to be carried around the streets as long as they are in cans or plastic cups, Garry said.

Student injured after being hit by automobile
FIRE
Chris Maxwell, Prairie Village senior, said Preno was on his way to Robinson Center when he was hit. Maxwell said he heard the car screech and saw the tail end of Preno's accident.
A University of Kansas student was hit by a car at about 5:35 p.m. yesterday on 15th Street.
Dede Preno, Prairie Village senior, was hit by a red Neon while crossing 15th Street near Jayhawker Towers but did not appear to be seriously hurt.
"I saw him somersault off the windshield, and it looked like he landed on his head." Maxwell said. "He didn't seem to be badly hurt. He was alert and awake and doing fine."
Andrew Lonas, Lawrence junior, said he was driving the Neon west on 15th Street in slow traffic when a man ran in front of him.
Sgt. Rose Rozmiarek of the KU Public Safety Office said police had not decided whether to issue any citations because they had not yet interviewed the victim. She said there was not a crosswalk at the site of the accident.

Overland Park man arrested for lewdness
An Overland Park man surprised five female University of Kansas students who discovered him sitting in his vehicle naked from the waist down Sunday
A 19-year-old female KU student and her four roommates said they were walking between 1:50 and 1:55 p.m. Sunday near the intersection of 11th and Kentucky streets when they noticed a small, purple pickup truck parked near the crosswalk, said Sgt. George Wheeler of Lawrence police.
The women said a man was sitting in the truck wearing a shirt and no pants, Wheeler said. He was not touching himself, but his genitalia were in full view, Wheeler said.
The students gave the tag number to police, who found the vehicle traveling northbound in the 700 block of Vermont Street, Wheeler said. Police pulled the man aside in the Lawrence Public Library parking lot. He was wearing boxer shorts and a shirt. Wheeler said police found the rest of the man's clothes in a pile in the truck.
Police arrested the 39year-old Overland Park resident for lewd and lascivious behavior. He was booked into Douglas County Jail at 3:51 p.m. and released at 4:33 p.m. on $250 bond.

Students detained while conducting open saloon
Two male KU students and a male Lawrence resident were detained Sunday morning for conducting an open saloon at their residence.
Sgt. George Wheeler of Lawrence police said an anonymous phone call at 12:13 a.m. Sunday led officers to a residence in the 1600 block of West Eighth Terrace. The officers saw a beer key sitting in a carport at the residence. After observing the scene for awhile, the officers determined that the residents were charging people to come to a party and drink beer. Wheeler said.
The 22-year-old and 23-year-old students and their 20-year-old roommate were issued notices to appear in municipal court.
Police also found three empty beer kegs, two packages of plastic cups and $250 in U.S. currency at the residence. Wheeler said.

Greenspan forewarns growing economy at risk
WASHINGTON — The nation's remarkable prosperity will be put at risk unless supply and demand are brought into balance, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greensman said yesterday.
Speaking at a Boston College conference on the "New Economy," in Chestnut Hill, Mass., Greenspan voiced renewed concerns that the record-setting economy was growing rapidly given the dwindling supply of new workers and the increasing need to rely on imported goods.
Greenspan's speech was likely to strengthen the belief of many economists that the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates until it sees greater evidence that the economy is slowing enough to keep inflation under control.
Wall Street was not panicked by Greenspan's remarks. By mid afternoon the blue-chip Dow Jones stock average was down 60 points and the Nasdaq index was up 60, just 25 points shy of a 5,000 record.
"Overall, demand for goods and services cannot chronically exceed the underlying growth rate of supply," Greensman said. "The expansion of
一
Greenspan: Urges for a balance in supply and demand
demand must moderate."
The Fed works to achieve this moderation by increasing borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, cutting into demand for big-ticket items such as homes and autos. The central bank has already boosted
interest rates four times since June with the latest increase on Feb. 2, a quarter-point boost that left the federal funds rate at 7.57 percent.
Economists are predicting the Fed will raise rates again when it next meets March 21 and many are looking for a sixth rate increase at the following meeting on May 16.
WORLD
China announces jump in military spending
BEJING — China announced a 12.7 percent increase in military spending yesterday — at least the eighth straight double-digit jump — as the army tried to influence rival Taiwan's presidential election and again threatened war.
The $14.5 billion defense budget, presented by the finance minister to the legislature, continues higher spending begun in the early 1990s to modernize the 2.5 million-member military. Among its top missions: preparing to attack if Taiwan moves toward outright independence.
Although the People's Liberation Army is at least several years from posing a formidable threat, commanders have used the run up to Taiwan's March 18 presidential election to wam against rising separatism. The warnings are partly because of real fears and partly aimed at getting more government money, Chinese and foreign analysts said.
Last month, the navy sailed its newest acquisition — a Russian-built destroyer armed with nuclear-capable missiles — through the Taiwan Strait, which divides the mainland and Taiwan. Yesterday, Defense Minister Chi Haolian said the government was on a high state of alert for separatist actions on Taiwan.
China and Taiwan split after Mao Tse-tung's communists drove Chiang Kai-shek's nationalists from the mainland in 1949. China considers Taiwan a renegade province and has vowed to retake the island by force if necessary.
The Associated Press
He said a requirement to record information for all traffic stops would take a lot of time and paperwork.
North Carolina and Connecticut are the only states that require law enforcement to record race information for traffic stops.
Eighteen states may study racial profiling
Continued from page 1A
Eighteen states are considering legislation that would at least study racial profiling.
Some cities, including St. Louis and Houston, have taken time to study the issue.
The U.S. House Judiciary Committee sent legislation to the floor last week that would provide for a federal study of police statistics and encourage states to study the issue with federal grant money.
As for the Kansas proposal, Haley said he could not predict what would happen.
"Politics is a strange road." Haley said. "You never know what comes to bear on a decision, who can do the right thing versus whatever personal agendas they may have."
And sometimes people, including legislators, deny that racial profiling could exist — or secretly condone the practice, Haley said.
Edwards said that he understood and wanted police to stop suspicious characters, but that didn't mean he should be targeted because of his skin color.
ON THE RECORD
Racial profiling is not a problem limited to traffic stops, either. Edwards said he felt skin color generated suspicion everywhere from Dillons to Dillards.
"A lot of people think racism has been annihilated," Edwards said. "People think that things are equal, but that's just not so. They think there's no racial profiling, because there's no racism."
The KU Public Safety Office responded to a possible alcohol poisoning at 4:17 a.m. Sunday at Ellsworth Hall. The subject, an 18-year-old KU student, had laid on the floor and passed out, and police were unable to wake him up. According to a police report, the student "had a strong odor of an intoxicating beverage about him." Paramedics transported the student to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was treated
A purse was stolen between 8:30 and 9 a.m.
Friday from the Lied Center, the KU Public Safety Office said. The purse and its contents were valued at $38.
A retired KU employee's car was keyed between noon and 4 p.m. Sunday in lot 72, near the Burge Union, the KU Public Safety Office said. Damages to the car's trunk and sides was estimated at $1,000.
A set of keys was stolen between 4:45 and 8:45 a.m. February 28 from the third floor of Moore Hall, the KU Public Safety Office said. The keys, which belonged to KU Facilities Operations, were valued at $12.
- The KU Public Safety Office arrested a KU student for possession of marijuana between 1:20 and 1:30 a.m. Sunday in Oliver Hall. KU housing personnel had complained of marijuana smoke coming from the student's room and called police, who recovered two hand-rolled cigarette stubs from the student. The student was cited and summoned to appear in court but not taken into custody.
A KU student's Panasonic CD player was stolen between midnight and 12:08 a.m. Saturday from a green 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier in the 900 block of Vermont Street, Lawrence police said. The stereo was valued at $150. Damage to the dashboard was estimated at $500.

Students buddy-up with teens
Volunteers help disabled youths
By Erián R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
When Molly Smith volunteers, she goes shopping. Sometimes it's downtown, sometimes at SuperTarget. Other times she eats at Applebee's or Carlos O'Kellv's.
But Smith, Great Bend freshman, brings along Megan Patrick, a Free State High School student.
Both are participants in the Best Buddies program, which matches mentally disabled teenagers with University of Kansas students.
"We both like to go out to eat a lot." Smith said. "That's an easy thing to do together, and we like to shop together."
The addition of Best Buddies to the Center for Community Outreach this semester has increased participation in the program, said Kelly Brown, Baldwin sophomore and Best Buddies coordinator.
The program has been at the University for 10 years, but it only recently joined the Center for Community Outreach.
Best Buddies has 32 students and matches, an increase of 40 percent
since joining CCO, Brown said.
"Whenever students at KU want community service, they go to CCO." Brown said. "It's been kind of hard to handle because I wasn't ready for it."
The teens have disabilities that range from Down syndrome to Tourette syndrome, which is characterized by involuntary verbal and physical tics. Brown said.
"You need to make contact once a week," Brown said. "Every two weeks, they need to see each other, like getting ice cream."
Smith said that when she couldn't go shopping or out to eat with Patrick, she would give her a call.
The program also arranges group activities, such as movie nights and bowling.
The organization will ask Student Senate committees tomorrow to grant funding for a KU baseball game and a laser tag and bowling excursion as a group activity for all participants.
Brown said that the organization was intended to serve high school students, but the KU chapter has included people up to 20 years old. Lawrence and Free State high schools did not have a lot of students for the program, she said.
Brown said it had been hard to find another high school in the area, so she had started to look to other

organizations.
Brown said Community Transitional Systems had brought students to the program, and that she was talking with representatives at Cottonwood Inc., 2801 W. 31st St. to expand the program even further. Cottonwood Inc. is a service provider for developmentally disabled adults.
Christina Harms, CCO co-director, said that Best Buddies was one of two CCC groups that involved people with disabilities. But Best Buddies places participants with individual volunteers rather than with groups.
By getting to know each other one-on-one, Smith and Patrick discovered they had birthdays two days apart. Smith said she bought Patrick dinner as a present.
"I'm in the Chi Omega sorority, and someone brought it up at a pledge meeting." Smith said. "I thought it would be a good thing for me to do."
Toll-free dialing links campuses
Ryan Devlin
Kansan staff writer
Students, faculty and staff wishing to call either the University of Kansas Medical Center or the Wichita School of Medicine from the Lawrence campus now may do so toll-free using a five-digit number.
"There are no per-minute costs for the five digit-dialed calls because the Lawrence and Medical Center campuses are linked by a dedicated trunking facility, called a T-1, between the two campuses," said Anna Hines, assistant director of Networking and Telecommunications Services.
Hines said the T-1 was a complicated technological device owned by Southwestern Bell Communications and leased by the University. She said that she wasn't certain how much the University paid for the T-1, but that the cost was relatively small compared to the combined long-
distance charges incurred by departments.
Hines said the change marked the first time all four KU campuses had been linked together via the same telephone system.
“五digit dialing has been used on the Lawrence campus for many years and at the Edwards campus since its opening in 1993.” Hines said. “The Med Center and the Wichita School of Medicine have also been networked for years to allow for calls between those locations using four digits. This change to five digits for the KUMC/WSM network allows the existing networks at both locations to be linked together.”
James Orr, chairman of biological sciences, said that his department welcomed the change. He said students and faculty in his department often called both campuses.
"We talk with other faculty members on those campuses frequently to get their opinions concerning research and data," Orr said. "Often, those calls are
charged to the department or to the faculty member based on the nature of the call. I think this will be helpful for rather obvious reasons."
Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor, said the link was part of the chancellor's initiative to create a unified campus.
"The five-digit plan was the result of the chancellor's One University Task Force, which met to discuss how to bring the University's various campuses closer together," Burg said. "One of the recommendations of that committee was that it would feel more like one University if everyone had five-digit dialing linking them together."
Hines said the five-digit calling plan would directly benefit students.
"With increased ease of communication between faculty at these campuses, students may receive information quicker, or they may get information they might not have otherwise received," Hines said.
Pregnant students find local services

When Andrea Van Dyk became pregnant nearly two years ago, she struggled with how to juggle school and a baby.
She didn't want to leave the University of Kansas, but she also wanted to have the child. With the support of her family and friends, she was able to do both — though she enrolled part time the semester before and took a semester off after her son was born.
Van Dyke, Atchison junior,
said making a decision about an
unplanned pregnancy was difficult.
Those without the kind of
support she received from her
family and friends should know
that the University offers support,
as well, she said.
"It's really tempting to make rash decisions because you don't really know what resources are available," she said. "You need to take the time to search out the people who can help and think of the best possible outcome."
Among the resources offered by the University are pregnancy tests at Watkins Memorial Health Center. The test costs $10, and the results take 10 to 15 minutes. If a woman is pregnant, staff members discuss options and concerns.
Mary Cink, registered nurse at Watkins, said that occasionally she saw students who had not thought about what they would do if the pregnancy test came back positive and that sometimes the news was a shock to them. She said it was up to the students to decide what to do about their pregnancy.
'Oftentimes, we'll walk them down the hall to the counseling center so they can get started right away.' Cink said.
Joyce Davidson, staff psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services, said it offered an objective outlet for students to discuss their options.
Watkins staff refers those who choose to have the baby to the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department. It has a prenatal access program and offers financial assistance to those who meet income guidelines.
Women who choose to terminate the pregnancy are referred to Planned Parenthood in

Kathy Rose-Mockry, program coordinator at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said she spoke to students who had various concerns ranging from feeling uncomfortable in class to not being able to fit into the desks.
"It's a very challenging situation to balance," she said. "There's a lot out there, and oftentimes you aren't aware the resources exist until you need them."

Vandalism effects no change; time for civil, structured protests
The animosity that festers between students and the parking department at the University of Kansas is nothing short of legendary.
However, these sentiments should be channelled into some form of organized protest such as fliers, letters of complaint, discussions with administrators or even sit-ins, instead of unproductive and criminal vandalism.
The most recent student response to the parking department — a spattering of vandalism evoking images of violence — makes it quite obvious that this old feud, consisting of
Students expend a great deal of energy on the futile act of hating parking department
the exchange insults and hate mail,
is achieving nothing.
Most of the time, parking officials just are doing their jobs. We always despise the cops who pull us to the side of the road to give us speeding tickets. Most regrettably, students expend a great deal of energy in the futile act of hating the parking department.
The time and effort it took for a few students to decorate buildings with obscenities last week could have been much more effectively spent in organizing people and coordinating a list of valid complaints against the parking department. Legitimate student activism can have a substantial influence on campus issues, such as the recent Jaybowl controversy when students organized and saved the lanes.
Perhaps if the parking department were approached with civility and organization, it would be more apt to take the first step toward ameliorating this old feud.

Financial aid should be need-based
When making decisions about who should receive financial aid, particularly in the form of grants or scholarships, a university is confronted with a difficult decision. Should the money go to the most academically qualified applicant regardless of financial need, or should a student's economic circumstances play a part in that decision? It seems that in the vast majority of cases, the University of Kansas has chosen to ignore financial need in favor of academic merit. Perhaps it is time to consider swinging the pendulum back in the other direction.
Certainly no one would argue that a certain level of academic achievement should be demanded from all applicants for financial aid. But among students with comparable academic records, a consideration of financial need should be an

important factor. While it is true that there is a vast amount of money available to students on a need-only basis, most of that money comes in the form of loans from the federal government. But no matter how good the interest rate, these are still loans that must be repaid.
The issue is whether the University should, when deciding who receives scholarship money that need not be repaid, look into the financial circumstances of its applicants. Of the 11 different types of scholarships available at the University, only one takes financial
need into consideration. The reason this is so important is that as a public university, our role should not be to compete with Harvard or Princeton in terms of how many National Merit scholars we can attract, but rather to provide a college education that, while still demanding a high level of academic achievement, is affordable for a much larger number of students.
The key is balance between merit and need. It strikes many people as somewhere between unfair and absurd for a student whose parents earn $200,000 per year to receive a full scholarship just because he or she scored well on the PSAT.
It seems clear that if the University is to remain true to its original mission, a more balanced approach to financial aid would make the job far easier.

Different pant fashions reveal cultural contrasts
and to think, I used to joke about straight-leg pants.
For years, I haven't donned anything less than too-long-for-me boot-cut pants. Imagine the jolt upon stepping off the plane in Madrid, Spain — the land of tapered legs and short short inseams

smile, you can't tell that I wore braces for four years. (Aside: Few Europeans have straight teeth.)
Still, when Chico and Joaquin met me, they knew I was American before I opened my mouth. They both pointed down.
"Pantalones de campaña," Chico said, smiling.
"Bell bottoms?" I thought, "Hasn't he ever heard of 'boy slouch flare?' And the two of them, in the tight, ankle-length Levis everyone wears in Spain. They're not even dark wash." Sure, most of my pants touch the ground standing, are wider than my hips at the bottom and slouch a little lower on my waist, but the pants here creep up to show socks, are so tight that you can see underwear lines and they zip practically all the way up to your clavicles.
We're just different. The Spaniards stare at me in my baggy bell bottoms, clunky hiking shoes and T-shirt as I walk among them — a tailored-pants, shiny-leather-shoed, wool-jacket-wearing bunch — because I look different. In my widest-leg jeans, I no doubt look like an American clown girl.
Which is worse? I don't know, but after our discussion, I started paying more attention to clothing. I started wondering why people looked twice at my pant legs and why I had to restrain laughter at the sight of tight red denim. Finally, I came to a quasi-conclusion, the only one I believe can exist.
Now I see why my mom smiled wistfully when I brought home a new pair of jeans and told me stories about when she was my age. She knew the biggest trick that American marketers have played on Generation X. They used "flare-leg" and "boot-cut" as euphemisms for "bell bottoms" so that we would all believe what our parents wore in the '70s wasn't the same as the Diesels, Silvers and Abercrombies of today.
Still, none of it fazes me. Although I'm in Spain, I am American and, though I'm respectful and attentive to the greater aspects of the Spanish culture, I don't intend to change myself. The last thing I want to turn into is one of those American pseudo-Spaniards like the guy named Michael who introduces himself as Miguel and wears tapered-leg jeans in a tragic effort to blend in.
I'll immerse myself in other things. And who knows? In the three months I have left here, maybe I can bring this country to its senses and get them in some wider-leg digs.

Professional athletes' use of drugs seems stupid
Just as sports seemed to be at an all-time high with the Cinderella story, the St. Louis Rams winning the Super Bowl and Tiger Woods' charge to win 11 tournaments in a row, along comes something to ground the hype and disgrace professional sports — the same thing that has taken the lives of countless people every year.
I am of course talking about drugs. However, the message is not getting across that these illegal substances can only hurt a person in the long run.
A few weeks ago, Kansas City Chiefs' kick returner Tamarick Vanover and exChief Bam Morris were linked to a federal drug investigation, and according to a report in The New York Times, 12 NBA players tested positive for marijuana use during training camp last fall.
Amit S.
Parekh
guest columnist
opinion@kansan.com
I don't quite understand what these people were thinking. First of all, how did two Chiefs players get linked to an investigation that extends to Mexico?
Even though Vanover's and Morris' actions may seem surprising, there is one to top their idiotic moves. This was the first year the NBA tested for marijuana use. The 12 NBA players who tested positive for drug use knew they were going to be tested months in advance, but they decided to try to beat the system.
Although neither player has been charged, they are known to have associated with people who have been charged. With all the money these guys are making and the high-profile positions they are in, you would think they would try to keep their activities in line so that they wouldn't attract unwanted attention.
Why do athletes take drugs when they are
risking so much? The media always is focused on them, and they are required to take periodic drug tests. There is no way to beat the system. No matter what power they have, or the amount of resources at their fingertips, they are going to be caught, but they don't seem to realize this.
Basically, the stupidity of these athletes, along with the ridiculous actions of hundreds of others who are doing the same thing, is damaging the future as kids in junior high and high school are perceiving that it is not only good, but 'cool', to use drugs.
To many people, it may seem that these are isolated cases that have no effect on the future. They are wrong. These athletes are in the limelight. Kids view them as role models and strive to be like them. If these athletes are taking drugs, there is a chance that kids will follow in their footsteps.
I'm not sure what can be done to stop the number of athletes using drugs. It seems almost impossible to stop such a large number of professionals from using illegal substances, but it is hoped that they will realize the damage they are causing and stop the destruction of our future.
Unless professional sports organizations do something to stop these unfortunate actions, the number of drug cases in sports is going to escalate because the domino effect has begun. The percentage of basketball players who will test positive in the future will increase from its present ratio of one in about every 36 players to who knows how much.
In reality, it is probably too idealistic to ask the players to stop using drugs, but they should at least not be stupid enough to get caught. The best-case scenario now is for Vanover and Morris to be found not guilty and for the 12 NBA players to be re-tested, with the results being negative. As doubtful as that seems, I have hope for the future.

Confederate flag is expressive freedom
While I sympathize with Allan Davis and his hatred for the Confederate flag, evidenced in his March 3 column, it should be pointed out that the First Amendment was created to protect the expression of 'unpopular' opinion, not just majority opinion. The assertion that "Germany has the right idea" about banning frowned-upon political organizations and arresting people for expressing their opinions flies in the face of everything the First Amendment stands for. Barring private individuals from displaying the Confederate flag would be a severe violation of their rights.
I, too. frown when I see Confederate license plates and the like. However, we all need keep in mind that free express-

sion is what this country is all about, regardless of whether we like the views expressed.
Mr. Davis might also note that Germany used to have ideas about how to deal with Jewish people, or gypsies or others who might critique the Nazi regime.
In Allan Davis' March 3 column about the Confederate flag, he notes that "Germany has the right idea about how to deal with the shameful past. I bans neo-Nazi organizations and arrest [sic] people."
It would ban their assembly and slaughter them.
Before advocating a restriction on the freedom of speech or assembly, always ask yourself a couple of questions:
1) If there were a sudden turn of political tides and my opinions became unpopular, would I be willing to suffer the same punishment? (Remember we were corraling Japanese in this country during WWII.)
2) Would you rather that evil people meet and plot in public, or would you rather arrest a few, drive the rest underground and create martyrs?
Freedom of speech is not there to support popular opinions.

Opening of new steakhouse delayed
By Brent Washn
Special to the Kansan
BANA
Lawrence residents who have been salivating for a Hereford House steak will have to wait a little longer to eat one here.
The Kansas City-based restaurant originally was set to open on April 15 near Sixth and Wakarusa streets.

But Hereford House owner Rod Anderson said the establishment would not open before Aug. 15, and the opening could be delayed as late as Nov. 1.
"As a company, we've been opening a ton of places in the Kansas City area over the next few months," Anderson said. "We couldn't physically spread ourselves that thin. We want to get open as soon as we can."
Anderson's Hereford House Restaurant Group owns two steakhouses, a seafood restaurant, an ice cream parlor and a soda fountain in the Kansas City area.
Construction of the Hereford House in Lawrence's Crossroads Center will be completed this spring. The restaurant will occupy more than 10,000 square feet and will feature a full-service bar, an outdoor mezzanine, a basement wine cellar and a banquet room that seats 250 people.
Anderson, who bought the Kansas City company in 1967 through foreclosure, would not say exactly how much the new restaurant is costing him, but he said the investment in Lawrence was substantial.
Anderson said he hoped to offer a better dining experience to the Lawrence community.
"We will be one of the first premiere-named restaurants to come into Lawrence," he said. "The town is saturated with a lot of low-end kind of establishments."
Some Lawrence steakhouse owners and managers are concerned about the addition of another restaurant. The Hereford House will be the fourth steakhouse in the area, including Don's Steak House, 2176 E. 23rd St., Barbwire's, 2412 Iowa St. and Montana Mike's, formerly Sirloin Stockade, 1015 Iowa St.
"One of the steakhouses has to fall," said Barbwire's kitchen manager J.J. Kimball. "I don't think there is enough room in this city for all of us to stay open."
Don's Steakhouse owner Gary Bartz said he
thought the addition of a new steakhouse in Lawrence might hurt his business — but not significantly. He said the Hereford House would have a separate set of customers.
"Any new restaurant that comes into Lawrence is going to affect my business," Bartz said. "However, those people are miles away from me. They're hitting an entirely different market. I don't think they will hurt us too bad."
Lee Curbow, Olathe freshman, agreed with Bartz. Curbow has eaten at one of the Kansas City Hereford House locations.
"I don't think the Hereford House steaks are as good as Don's," he said. "But the service is better."
Anderson agreed with Bartz that his restaurant would not hurt his Lawrence competitors significantly. He said that because his restaurant would be located on the west side of town, he was not relying solely on the Lawrence community for his customer base.
"With Lawrence by itself, I probably wouldn't have opened a restaurant here, but with the Topeka connection, it's to our advantage to open where we are," Anderson said. "We offer a great product that hasn't been in the area."
Bartz said that no matter where the customers came from, it still was a scary venture to open a restaurant in Lawrence.
"It is absolutely tough to survive in this community," said Bartz, who has owned Don's for the last 10 years. "Most restaurants don't survive here more than two years. If I didn't own Don's, I wouldn't open a restaurant here."
Despite what other restaurant owners have told him about opening an establishment in Lawrence, Anderson said he was excited to get started.
"Lawrence is a very growing community." Anderson said. "I think the town is begging for a restaurant like ours. Competition isn't bad if you aim to be better than your competitors."
G. Love fans turn out for feel-good concert
By BriAnne Hess
Kansan staff writer
writer@kansan.com
With the G. it's all about love.
That's what got Jason Truninger, Kansas City, Mo., resident, hooked on the band, G. Love & Special Sauce. Truninger said G. Love's music was all about love and having a good time.
And yesterday, more than 700 fans piled into the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., to experience the love as the three-man band strutted on stage after 10 p.m.
The band consists of G. Love on guitars, blues harp and vocalis; Jiml "Jazz" Prescott on acoustic bass; and "The Houseman" Jeffrey Clemens on drums and percussion.
Truninger went to the concert with his buddy Tyson Lang, Olathe junior.
Lang's friends said Lang looked like G. Love
"It's not on purpose," Lang said. "I like his style. He's a cool individual. I wish I had his talent."
Lang also said he appreciated the fact that the band created a musical style that was different from what other bands were doing.
He likened G. Love's innovative mix of blues, folk, rock and reggae to the breakthrough approach of his other favorite band, Led Zeppelin.
"I could listen to his songs over and over again and never get tired of them," Lang said.
"Led Zeppelin was the first rock band to take a lot of different genres and mix them
LOVE SPECIAL BRIDGE
together." he said.
He said that G. Love's most recent CD, *Philadelphic*, was a lot different than his other ventures because the first two albums combined mostly blues and folk music.
"On this one, he has turntables," Lang said. "It's more hip-hop."
Casey Chorice, Olathe sophomore, works for G. Love's record label, but said she was also a pretty big fan of the group. Her friend, Becky Westerman, Olathe resident, introduced her to the band when the two were still in high school five years ago.
Westerman said that she became a G. Love fan when her sister got her hooked with the song, "Hey Fat Man" off of the group's self-titled CD, but that the attraction to the band was usually created from another song on that album.
"Baby's Got Sauce" is the hooker for "bodywork." Westerman said.
She said she enjoyed his concert as much as his music.
"It's a feel-good crowd," she said. "Everybody's got a positive vibe going."

Candidates campaign hard for Super Tuesday primary
The Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. — A feisty John McCain labeled Republican rival George W. Bush as Clinton-esque, while a subdued Bill Bradley said he must win a couple of states as both underdogs looked to revive their presidential campaigns in a Super Tuesday showdown.
In the more competitive race of the two, both Bush and McCain were making a final push yesterday in California, where 162 delegates to the GOP nominating convention were the biggest prize of the day. Bush had the inside track on those delegates, but McCain hoped for a symbolic victory in the nonbinding popular vote.
"There has not been a primary yet that has met expectations," McCain said. "It's
just too volatile."
At a San Diego park, Bush, fighting off a cold, sounded hoarse at times but still projected the confidence of a front-runner. Bush said he wasn't worried that the primary battle would leave the GOP fractured and even gave McCain credit for bringing people to the Republican party. Bush said the competition had made him a better candidate and should satisfy anyone who wondered about his inner strength and whether he could battle back.
Bradley aides were quietly making plans for an exit if Vice President Al Gore does as well as polls suggest in today's voting for the Democratic nomination.
"I don't think there's any magic number, but I do think we have to win a couple of states," Bradley said yesterday on CBS'
Early Show, holding out hope for Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine Maryland or Missouri
Both Gore and Bradley were devoting the day to New York. Gore courted New York's Jewish activists this morning, saying that in a Gore administration the United States would be a loyal friend to Israel.
Bradley greeted commuters — some cordial, some grumbling about the obstacle to their morning rush — at the Staten Island Ferry terminal in Manhattan at 7:30 a.m.

PETER M. JOHNSON
McCain: Describes Bush as Clinton-esque
"Rest is for another dav." he said.
McCain told reporters that Bush handed him back the reform issue after a $2.5 million series of attack ads he says are financed by Bush's forces.
Bush complained that the ads were what the press wanted to talk about, even though he said he had nothing to do with them.
"It's so Clinton-esque it's scary — raise the soft money, run the attack ads," he said of the ads. "They're getting more and more like the Clinton campaign. They'll say anything."
Bush was appearing on Jay Leno's The Tonight Show before heading home to Texas to await election results. McCain planned to watch the returns in Los Angeles.
After weeks of bashing Gore, Bradley has
toned down his assaults in recent days as the Super Tuesday campaign was wrapping up. Yesterday, Bradley said he would support
Gore if he was the nominee and had no interest in the vice presidency. Bradley said he still thought that Gore's role in the 1996 fund-raising scandals could risk the Democratic agenda.
Polling showed no openings for Bradley to dent the front-running Gore, and talk was turning to the potential of the former New Jersey senator leaving the race after today.

'Hawks hope to steal win
Team relies on running game
By Amanda Kaschube
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
In a game often criticized for its slow play and drawn-out innings, Kansas has spiced things up with base stealing and catching others in the act.
The 'Hawks, 11-5, will try to keep sneaking down the base path today when they square off against Southwest Missouri State, 6-4, at 3 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.
"It's a really important ingredient for us," said coach Bobby Randall. "It's one way of scoring
runs when you don't hit well. Brett Kappelmann and John Nelson have been leaders for us in that respect, but we can still do better."
The 'Hawks have nabbed 31 bases this season, compared to only 11 steals by their opponents. Nelson, a junior who has been successful in 12 of his 14 attempts, and Kappelmann, a senior who has snatched nine in 11 tries, have been the stars of the Kansas running game.
"I just need to go out there and lead by example," Nelson said. "If I see a place for improvement, I'll make the changes and go out there and do it."
In last weekend's series against Iowa State, the 'Hawks won games when they stole. In game two, the lack of hits led to a lack of base runners, resulting in zero base
running. But in game three, four out of five 'Hawks reached base successfully for the first time in the series, including senior Shane Wedd and junior Doug Dreher.
"Iowa State outhit it in every game, but the stolen bases served us well in the two wins," Randall said. "It's something every offense needs to do."
On the flip side, junior college transfers Brenton Del Chiaro and Matt Oakes have decreased the running game of Kansas' opponents. Both catchers have picked off one base runner, and it's still early in the season.
"Oakes and Del Chiaro play tough, hard-nose baseball," Randall said. "There's no telling how many games their play has turned around. This was a sore spot for us last year — it's a major
improvement."
Southwest Missouri State has managed only six stolen bases this season, and two of those nabs came in the three-game series with the 'Hawks in February. Kansas took two of those games, and in both wins, held down Southwest Missouri State base runners.
Senior Rusty Philbrick, 1-1, will start on the mount for Kansas and try to stop the Bears' four-game winning streak.
But Randall is confident that his team's improved base running will help the 'Hawks steal another win.
"They will be a better team than when we played them before, but we should play better at home," he said. "If we hold the score and run the bases well, we should be fine. It's going to be a tough contest — they want revenge on us."

Cancer not final chapter in tennis player's career
By Brent Wasko
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Andrew Lumpkin, Littleton, Colo., junior, was swinging a tennis racket at the early age of two. He loved the game of tennis so much he transferred to Kansas in 1996 primarily because his previous school, Colorado State, no longer carried a men's team game.
However, Lumpkin played just two seasons for the Jayhawks before his tennis career was cut short in August of 1988 when cancer was diagnosed in his leg.
Despite three cycles of chemotherapy and a very weak left leg, Lumpkin has rejoined the Kansas men's tennis team this season as a volunteer assistant coach.
"It was something I wanted to do because I still want to stay involved with the team," Lumpkin said. "I wish I could do more to help the team, but I'm physically unable to right now. I still love the game and really miss it. It's tough for me to watch tennis and not be out there."
Kansas coach Mark Riley said he was happy to see Lumpkin back with the team.
Lumpkin attends practices with the squad on a limited basis. When the coaches need assistance, he will come in and help run their drill's drills. He cannot
travel with the team on road trips or coach them during home meets because NCAA rules state each school only can have two coaches. The Jayhawks already had two coaches on their roster when Lumpkin started helping out.
Although Lumpkin has a limited role with the team, junior tennis player Ed Dus said his presence during practice had been beneficial.
"I think he knows a lot about the game," said Dus, a teammate of Lumpkin's in the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons. "Having him around should inspire us all."
Lumpkin won All-Western Athletic Conference honors during his freshman year at Colorado State before coming to Kansas. Riley said Lumpkin was ready to contribute for the Jayhawks, but in February of 1998, Lumpkin noticed a small bump on his left shin while he was in the shower.
"It didn't seem like a big deal — like a bump you would have if you hit yourself with a racket," he said.
When he went home that June, he went to see a doctor because the bump was starting to bother him. The physician said there was a 95 percent chance that it was a stress fracture, but that it also could be a tumor.
Lumpkin said he got a CAT scan and an MRI to make sure that it wasn't serious. At that time, the doctors concluded that he definitely had a stress fracture.
Two weeks before the fall season was set to begin in August of 1988, Riley asked Lumpkin if he could play. Lumpkin said his left leg still was bothering him, so he went in to the doctor's office one more time to have it examined. This time, however, he requested a biosv.
"Him being around lets the other players know how fortunate they are to play tennis."
Mark Riley
Kansas Coach
"The doctor came back and told me it was one of three things and a stress fracture wasn't one of them," Lumpkin said. "It ended up being a malignant tumor in my left tibia. Everyone skipped over it because it was so incredibly rare. The clinic that I went to had seen it only 17 times in their history."
After his illness was diagnosed as cancer, Lumpkin left Kansas to live in a special clinic in Denver. There, he was treated by the top doctor in the world dealing with that condition, he said.
"I feel very lucky that I had the doctor that I did and that the technology had advanced in the treatment of that kind of cancer," Lumpkin said. "The doctor told me that a few years ago he would have definitely amputated my leg and he would have given me a 10 percent chance of living."
Lumpkin was fortunate enough to leave the clinic a year later with both his leg and his life, but unfortunately, he was told that he could never play the game of tennis again.

Big 12 tournament begins today
Top women's teams prepare for tough play
By Melinda Weaver sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
When the Big 12 women's basketball tournament begins at noon today at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo., any of the top seven teams have a legitimate shot at winning the tournament.
The regular season is no more than an outline in the horizon as the Big 12 Conference women's basketball teams prepare to embark on the postseason.
"I feel like I am going to an amusement park and riding a roller coaster," said Nebraska coach Paul Sanderdorf. "I think that any team that gets hot has a good chance. There are seven or eight teams that can win this thing."
The real season's here.
The quarterfinal rounds could be trouble for the top seeds. Kansas could play Nebraska, a team that defeated the Jayhawks twice, and Iowa State could play Kansas State, a team that beat the Cyclones on the road and came within three points in
FIRST ROUND TODAY
- Kansas State vs. Oklahoma State, noon
- Nebraska vs. Baylor, 2:20 p.m.
- Missouri vs. Colorado, 6 p.m.
- Texas vs. Texas A&M, 8:20 p.m.
Part of the reason for the increased intensity is two or three teams are fighting for an NCAA tournament berth. The top four seeds have their spots sealed, but Nebraska's, Texas' and Missouri's chances would greatly increase with one or two victories.
Ames, Iowa. And although Texas Tech beat possible opponent Texas twice, Texas took the Lady Raiders into double overtime in the second contest.
"I think the quarterfinals will be a fun round," said Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly. "I'd be shocked if all four top seeds win their first game."
"This (the conference tournament) is our first priority, but we are hoping to get in the tournament," Sanderford said referring to the NCAA Tournament. "If the SEC can talk about sending 10 teams, we definitely have six teams that are deserving. Winning this tournament would definitely increase our chances of being one of those."
The Cornhuskers have a chance to make waves in the tournament because they start with 7-19 Baylor, and would advance to a
PG 12 CONFERENCE
Kansas team that they have beaten twice — a scenario that echoes Kansas' three-game sweep by Iowa State last year.
"That happened to us a year ago against Iowa State when we had to play a team that we had lost to twice during the season, and we let it get us down," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "It is tough to face a team three times, but we feel very comfortable. We can beat anybody on any given day if we stay focused on us and work on the things that got us here this season."
But Washington said that Nebraska could not discount Baylor, and in fact, the first round matchups might be as interesting as the quarterfinals.
Anyone who goes into this tournament assuming anything is very naive," Washington said. "Texas A&M is very scrappy, and I wonder why they haven't won more games. Colorado is the team of the future, and when they are on, they can be very competitive. You can't underestimate anybody, and that is a reflection of what this season has been like."

The situation could not have looked better for two freshmen entering the inaugural Big 12 Conference women's tennis season three years ago.
Senior pair looking for conference title
by Zac Hunter sports@kcsu.edu
Kansas had won the last five Big Eight titles and was by far the best team in the conference.
Three years later, seniors Brooke Chiller and Julia Sidorova still are looking for their first conference championship.
The Texas Longhorns have won all three conference and tournament titles. The Longhorns' dominance should not be considered a surprise; they won national championships in 1993 and 1995, have been to the final four six times in the '90s and have not lost a Big 12 dual meet since 1996. The
But that has not diminished Chiller's and Sidorova's personal successes.
As a sophomore, Chiller won the Big 12 singles tournament at No. 3. Two years later, she won the Big 12 singles at the No. 2.
Sidorova also achieved success as a sophomore. She was named to the All-Big 12 doubles team after posting a 20-11 record. She has spent most of her singles time at the No. 5 position and claimed second place in the Big 12 last year.
Jayhawks haven't slouched, placing second twice and third last year, but they haven't been able to overcome Texas.
Both started the season 1-0 in conference play, and both have aspirations of winning.
Both lead the team huddles before matches, something Sidorova might not have done

Volleyball team wins spring tournament
The Kansas volleyball team went 3-0, and won the Jayhawk Volleyball Spring Classic at the Horesei Athletics Center Saturday.
Kansas opened the tournament by beating Emporia State 35-21 and 35-19. The Jayhawks then beat Sport-2 Sport 35-18 and 35-26 before rounding out the day with a 35-33, 35-29 win against Missouri-Kansas City. The tournament featured an experimental scoring system in which the teams played rally scoring to 35, best two out of three.
"It was a good day for us," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "The spring season is a vital part of our preparation for the next season, and I think we are off to a good start."
Kansas returns to action with a scrimmage against the Nebraska Juniors club team Friday in Lawrence, then heads to UMKC to participate in a spring tournament on April 1.

Detroit fires coach to get out of slump
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Trying to motivate a slumping club for a playoff run, the Detroit Pistons fired coach Alvin Gentry yesterday.
He will coach the Pistons for the first time tomorrow night at home against Denver.
Gentry, who succeeded Doug Collins a little more than two years ago, was replaced on an interim basis by assistant George Irvine. Irvine, a former head coach of the Indiana Pacers, inherits a team that is 28-30, fourth in the Central Division and seventh in the Eastern Conference.

Disabled golfer can ride in cart, court decides
GOLF
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court refused to overturn the Casey Martin golf cart decision yesterday, ruling that federal law allows the disabled golfer to ride between shots in PGA tournaments.
time is running out.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a federal magistrate's 1998 ruling that allowed Martin, who has a circulatory disorder that makes it painful for him to walk long distances, to become the first golfer to use a cart on in PGA events. He made his tour debut in the Bob Hope Classic in January.
The court rejected the PGA's argument that allowing Martin to use a cart would alter the fundamental nature of a golf tournament. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires accommodations for the disabled but does not require measures that would change the fundamental nature of goods or services.

"The central competition in shot-making would be unaffected by Martin's accommodation," said Judge William Canby in the 3-0 ruling.

spent in jail for drunken driving to affect his PGA Tour career for years to come.
A tour rookie in 1999. Begay won two tournaments and earned more than $1 million. He was arrested Jan. 20 after his vehicle struck a parked car outside of an Albuquerque bar. Police said his blood-alcohol level was more than twice New Mexico's legal limit.
The 27-year-old graduate of Stanford pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated drunken driving and made public the fact he had a prior DWI conviction in Arizona five years ago.
As the only Native American on tour, Begay has attracted a large following of young Native-American fans. His popularity also has soared in New Mexico.
Since his arrest, Begay has repeatedly expressed remorse for letting down his fans and for contributing to a stereotype linking Native Americans and alcohol.
Two plead not guilty in laundering lawsuit
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Two associates of indicted agent Tank Black pleaded not guilty to fraud and money laudering charges yesterday, setting the stage for a trial in May that could bring several NFL players to the witness stand.

In the federal indictment, the U.S. government accuses Alfred Twitty of paying former Florida players like Hilliard, Jacquez Green and Fred Taylor before their eligibility had expired as a way of assuring they would sign with Black come
graduation.
Once in the fold, Black and James Franklin schemed the players out of the money they earned from their NFL teams through a series of transactions that steered money through foreign bank accounts and bogus investments, the indictment says.
Twitty and Franklin were the last two of the five defendants to make initial court appearances for the trial scheduled for May 1. All five face prison sentences of up to 25 years if convicted.
Also indicted are Black and two more associates, Linda Wilson and Lisa Adams. All have pleaded not guilty.
Other NFL players listed in the indictment include Robert Brooks, Germane Crowell, Reggie McGrew, Johnny Rutledge and Jevon Kearse. Many could be called to testify should the case proceed to trial.
Franklin is the general counsel and chief operating officer for Black's agent business, based in Columbia, S.C.

The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Marcus Fizer, whose forceful presence led Iowa State to its first conference championship in 55 years, heads a parade of unanimous selections for The Associated Press All-Big 12 basketball team. In an unprecedented show of unanimity, a panel of sportswriters and sportcasters who cover the Big 12 on a regular basis also named Oklahoma State's Desmond Mason, Oklahoma's Eduardo Najera and Texas 7-footer Chris Mihm to every first-team ballot.
For the first team spot, Iowa State point guard Jamaal Tinsley, who ranked in the top three in the Big 12 Conference in both steals and assists, outpelled Colorado guard Jaquay Walls.
Mason, 6-foot-6, and Najera, 6-8, are the only seniors on the first team. Fizer, 6-8, Mihm and Tinsley, a 6-3 junior college transfer, are juniors.
Fizer — leaner, quicker and smarter than he was as a pudgy sophomore who averaged 18 points — topped the Big 12 with a 22.8-point scoring average.
"He is a man among boys," said Colorado coach Ricardo, Patron
Fizer is barreling into the postseason as one of the hottest players in the nation, averaging 32.6 points over the last five games by shooting 61-of-106 (.375) from the field. In four of his last five games, he has gone over 30 points.
"He's a different guy," said Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy. "He's more mature. He lets the game come to him. He dictates the game. The game dictated him last year."
Fizer and Tinsley were the key players in one of the biggest stories in basketball this season. With Tinsley providing what Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson termed the finest point guard play in the conference, the Cyclones went from 15-15 a year ago to a school-record 26-4. In preseason polls, they were not picked higher than sixth.
In league games, the Cyclones went 14-2 in capturing their first conference title since winning the Big Six in 1945.
The top vote-getters on the second team were Texas forward Gabe Muoneke and Walls, whose 42 points in an overtime victory against Iowa State set a Big 12 record.
They are joined by Missouri point guard Keyon Dooling, Nebraska center Kimani Ffriend and Texas Tech guard Rayford Young.

I am a Black woman who was born in the 1970s. I grew up in a community where I was surrounded by people who believed in me. I learned to love myself and appreciate my uniqueness. I went on to study at university and earned a degree in Art History. I was inspired by the work of artists like Paul Gauguin and Pablo Picasso, who were known for their use of color and light. I also studied fashion design and was inspired by the styles of famous designers like Moschino and Marc Chagall. I felt empowered by the fact that I was not alone in my career. I was passionate about art and wanted to make a difference in the world.

Senior doubles partners enjoy changing team roles
Continued from page 1B
early in her career. She characterized herself as a "la-dee-da" player then, but said she changed to fit her changing role.
She said she took her role on the team more seriously, but coach Jenny Garrity and Chiller said she continued to have fun and kept all the players loose.
Garrity said that Sidorova's attitude toward the game helped to cancel out her own intensity, which makes the rest of the team relax before matches.
"She says what's on her mind, and a lot of the time, the kids get a big kick out of it," Garrity said. Sidorova said her oddball antics were responsible for most of the laughs.
"It's just that certain things happen to me that make everyone else laugh," she said.
While Sidorova brings a carefree type of attitude to the court, Chiller brings visual intensity apparent in her expressions and unmatched by
any player on the team.
She said that she did not want to take tennis less seriously, but she would like to relax and enjoy her senior season.
"She has high goals for herself and for her team, and she comes out and works hard every day," Garrity said.
In addition to being the only two seniors on the team, Chiller and Sidorova have been doubles partners for more than two years. Their play in the fall earned them the No. 11 ranking in the region. In those two years they have developed a court-awareness for each other that the other doubles teams have yet to gain — which may pay off when it comes time to play Texas, especially since they rely on each other.
"She knows where I'm going to be in certain situations." Sidorova said.
Chiller said the same of Sidorova.
"With Julia and I, we just know so well where each other is going to be," she said.
Cancer leads player to coaching
Continued from page 1B
"That got me pretty good," Lumpkin said. "It was easy to put things in perspective because I was thinking on a larger scale at the time, but it was also really difficult to truly understand because tennis was always there for me in my life." Looking back on the experience now, Lumpkin said he viewed his cancer as a positive rather than a negative influence on his life.
"I'd rather I did it than didn't," he said. "I understand what life means now. I gained so much more mentally than what I lost physically."
"I don't think it will be too much longer before I'm out there at practice everyday."

Lumpkin said he returned to Lawrence after being treated because he missed the city and he wanted to make his life similar to the way it was before he left. Even though he does not play much tennis anymore, he said he still loved the game.
"I hope to play again at some
point, just not competitively," he said. "The impact of the sport is really high and it's not really worth the risk. I'm always finding people who are less accomplished tennis players to compete with. I still enjoy the game even though I can't play at the same level."
So what does that mean for the Kansas men's tennis team in the future?
"Fabulous and fabulous ©
"I don't think it will be too much longer before I'm out there at practice everyday," Lumpkin said.
Although his playing days may be finished, Lumpkin said he hoped he could spend more time helping coach the team.

Living Dangerously
By Dan Curry and Heather Woodward
Five landlords top list of tenants' housing complaints
Parched from the summer heat in 1998, Kyle Batten, Olathe sophomore, put a glass under the faucet of his kitchen sink.
He wanted a drink. He turned the knob, Rocks and brown water poured into his glass.
Off and on for a year, brown sediment came through the water lines in the house at 1915 Vermont St., managed by Property Management Services, 123 W. Eighth St.
Batten and his three housemates called their home the "Viper Pit."
The front door wouldn't shut. The house's two toilet would clog daily. On the living room ceiling, a quarter-sized brown stain grew to the size of a stop sign, dripping each time a person flushed the toilet — when the toilet was operational.
"I was just out of the dorms," said Hesse McGraw, another resident at the Viper
Pit and Olathe junior. "I was blind."
Existing legal remedies provide little aid to tenants such as Batten and McGraw, leaving them to cope with substandard living conditions that are onerous when they aren't plainly life-threatening. Often they are unaware of the resources they might employ to protect themselves.
Landlords have no economic incentive to help them. The city building inspectors look the other way.
And the city governing body, taking silence to mean all is well, leaves these tenants to fend for themselves.
Sometimes this situation dies in death. In 1997, University of Kansas student Daniel J. Hhamman died from smoke inhalation in his apartment managed by PMS. His smoke detector, at the time, was inoperable, in violation of city housing and fire codes.
The Lawrence Fire Department ruled
the fire an accident. PMS was not held liable for the smoke detector.
Ton violators
Housing-code violations include dangerous electrical wiring, broken plumbing, absent smoke detectors, backed-up sewage, rat or roach infestations and other conditions that are unsafe or unsanitary.
Property Management Services tops the list of the worst violators of Lawrence minimum-housing codes, based on a Kansan analysis of five years of city building-inspection records.
If a city building inspector enters a house and discovers code noncompliance, he can declare the unit substandard. The landlord would then have 30 days to make the required repairs.
However, because of extensions grant
ed by the Building Inspection Department, it takes on average 95 days to close a case.
Two landlords and three Lawrence companies that rent to students collected the most complaints. These complaints resulted in a visit from a Lawrence building inspector, who found multiple housing-code violations on each inspection.
Complaints were concentrated in the Oread Neighborhood, which is commonly known as the "Student Ghetto."
Property Management Services ranked first with 14 complaints in five years. The company manages about 400 Lawrence living units for other owners, according to estimates by the company's competitors.

Racial Profiling Part 2 of 3
Minor violations provide pretext for police searches
By Katrina Hull
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
If police want to stop a motorist, they probably can.
Kansas drivers can violate more than 200 traffic infractions from running a red light to having a noisy muffler, said Lawrence Police Sr. George Wheeler.
Even a minor violation gives law enforcement pretext to make a traffic stop. But police don't stop every noisy muffler, allowing for an officer's subjective judgment and potential racial profiling — the practice of targeting minorities for traffic stops. In pretextual traffic stops, the police use a minor infraction as an excuse to stop and search a vehicle.
"Racial profiling is doable because pretextual stops are admissible," said David Gottlieb, a professor of law who teaches criminal procedure.
dure:
Although the Fourth
Amendment requires police to have probable cause before stopping a motorist, Gottlieb said recent Supreme Court interpretations of the Fourth Amendment could provide a tool for law enforcement officers wanting to profile.
But Roscoe Howard Jr., professor of law who teaches criminal procedure, said the decision didn't give police an excuse to profile.
"What they are saying is that they are not going to look at what the officer is thinking when there was a legitimate reason for the search," Howard said.
In the case Whren v. Ohio, the Supreme Court held that pretextual traffic stops were permissible.

College Assembly approves new policy
Extra major courses no longer require additional hours
By Mike Hoffman
College Assembly approved the proposal yesterday. The change will be effective immediately. Previously, students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences had an extra hour added to the graduation requirement of 124 hours for each extra hour they took in their malors.
Students working toward bachelor of arts degrees who want to take more than 40 hours in their majors now can do so without being forced to take additional hours to graduate.
"We thought it would be the fair thing to do since we don't put the same restriction on B.G.S. students," Sally Frost Mason, dean of liberal arts and sciences, said of students working toward bachelor's of general studies degrees.
CHANGES IN CLAS
Frost Mason said the elimination of the 40-hour restriction was a good move because many bachelor's of arts students had petitioned against the previous

College Assembly also approved the following at yesterday's meeting:
■ a retroactive withdrawal policy that will allow students to withdraw from classes taken during previous semesters under extreme circumstances.
an increase in the minimum number of major hours required in residence from eight to nine, meaning students must now take at least nine of their major hours at the University of Kansas rather than at another college.
minors in anthropology, East Asian languages and cultures, linguistics, philosophy and socialoab
nonwestern culture status for African film and video
policv.
deletion of BIOL 413 as a principal science course
The new policy also includes a requirement that departments in CLAS cannot require more than 40 hours in a major.
Greg Simpson, professor of psychology, voted for the proposal. He said he was surprised more faculty did not show up — about 15 members were present to vote.
"You'd think that a major proposal like this would draw more people than there was," he said.
In other action, the assembly made a few revisions to the college's academic misconduct policy.
"We didn't make any major changes to it." Frost Mason said. "We just modified some of the wording so it would be more in line with the University's policv."
The assembly also approved a
new B.A. and B.G.S. major in literature, language and writing for the Edwards Campus, the Overland Park branch of the University of Kansas.
Bud Hirsch, associate professor of English and chairman of undergraduate studies, said the major was designed for older students who might be settled with families and careers, but who wanted to enhance their credentials or refine writing skills.
"If an undergraduate wanted to go to graduate school for English, he'd be better off getting the English degree now offered at the Lawrence campus," Hirsch said.
The new major also will have a broader focus. It will require one fewer English class numbered 300 or above than the Lawrence campus major requires.
Drug-related offenses now may prohibit students' aid
By Doug Pacey
writer @ kansan staff
Kansan staff writer
A new question that some students may not want to answer appears on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid this year.
Question No. 28 inquires if a student has been convicted of an illegal drug offense. If a student has never been convicted of an offense, he or she will mark the box with the numeral "1." Students who have been convicted would mark the box with a "2," said Barbara March, FAFA supervisor.
The new question is intended to stop
students
victed of drug-
related offenses
from receiving aid. It comes from the federal H i g h e r Education Act of 1998.

bad thing in that it is very broad," said Erik Goodman, Dayton, Ohio, senior. "It's one thing if you are convicted of having eight pounds of heroin in your car. But if you get busted for having a joint at a party that doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be a good student."
Those particular applications will be marked with a C-code, which means a comment has been made on the application, and no aid will be given to the student until the question is verified. March said.
The department said it would issue a warning in the Student Aid Report about leaving the box blank.
"...But if you get busted for having a joint at a party that doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be a good student."
Erik Goodman Dayton, Ohio, senior
The ruling was
in response to more than 100,000 applicants who left the question blank.
"We haven't had a lot of problems," said Chris Johnson, associate director of student financial aid at the University of Kansas. "About 5 to 6 percent of our applications have been left blank, but at some schools the number is as high as 20 percent."
Johnson said that he thought most students left the question blank by accident rather than omission.
March said there were some situations where students with drug-related charges still could qualify for financial aid.
Students who have been convicted of a drug-related offense before July 1, 1999, and have completed an accredited rehabilitation program can mark the box with a "i". March said.
If a drug offense has been charged against a student before July 1, 1999, and a verdict has not yet been reached, that student can mark the box with a "1," but the student must inform the University if they are convicted.
If a student has been charged after July 1, 1999, and no verdict has been reached, March said, the student must mark the box with a "2."
If a drug conviction has been removed from students' record, they can mark the box with a "1" too, said March.
Students who have questions but are uncomfortable talking about their convictions, are given the option of speaking to a representative or listening to an automated machine that can answer their questions.
The FAFSA is due April 1 at all Kansas institutions for priority consideration. Johnson said the University would not begin to distribute financial aid until April.

board, presented the board's budget for fiscal year 2001, which projects an increase of more than $840,000 from $1,499,777 in fiscal year 2000 to $2,340,782. Faiman told SenEx that the increase was largely because of construction of the new parking facility
near the Kansas Union. SenEx voted unanimously to approve the budget.
Faliman also presented a number of proposed rule changes to SenEx that would limit parking permits for the parking lots at Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Halls, Alumni Place and Jayhawker Towers to five percent more than the lots can hold at any given time.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking services, told SenEx that the number of permits sold greatly outnumbered the available spaces in those lots. She said that GSP-Corbin had 350 spaces but that the department sold 450 permits for those spaces each semester.
Hutline said the move to limit the num ber of oversold permits was an attempt to limit the complaints parking received from people who purchased permits for those lots but could not find spaces.
Both the budget and the proposals will now go to University Council, where they will be debated March 30.

Oscar ballots missing; Academv confounded
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Ten mailbags with all 4,000 Oscar ballots were missing yesterday in a real Hollywood woundunit for Academy Awards executives, a distinguished accounting firm and the Postal Service.
Part of the mystery was solved in the early afternoon when postal workers found two of the missing sacks, said Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences spokesman John Pavlik. They had been hauled from the 90210 post office to a bulk-mail warehouse in South Central Los Angeles.
"They have tracked them in the third-class system and found some of the sacks in the general mail facility," said post office spokeswoman Terri Boffouf. "We anticipate finding them all there."
Thousands protest plan to end affirmative action
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — About 10,000 demonstrators chanting "Shame on Bush" jammed the state Capitol grounds yesterday, demanding that Gov. Jeb Bush back off his plan to ban racial and gender preferences in university admissions and state contracting.
Pouring into Tallahassee from around the country, the demonstrators said they feared Bush's plan to end affirmative action would erase the gains African Americans and other minorities had made since the civil rights movement. Bush has put portions of the plan into effect through executive order, but other segments still need legislative approval.
"This is the first step towards resegregation," said the Rev. Timothy McDonald, who came from Atlanta.
The rally was timed to coincide with the governor's State of the State address and the opening of the legislative session. Inside the Capitol, Bush defended the plan during his address.
"The vast majority of Floridians favor the elimination of affirmative action programs," he said.

Pinochet faces lawsuits upon return to Chile
WORLD
SANTIAGO, Chile — Less than a week after returning from confinement in Britain, the ailing Gen. Augusto Pinochet faces 72 lawsuits for human rights abuses, including six filed yesterday with the Santiago Court of Appeals.
Chief Justice Herman Alvarez dismissed warnings by critics that strong military support for Pinochet might interfere with the pursuit of justice.
"Citizen Augusto Pinochet can be tried the same as any other Chilean," Alvarez said. "The courts do not accept pressure."
Fernando Barros, a spokesman for Pinochet through most of the former dictator's 16-month detention in Britain, warned that trying Pinochet would bring instability to the country.
A day earlier, Judge Juan Guzman, who is handling the suits, asked the Santiago court to strip Pinochet of his congressional immunity so he could be tried in the case known as "the caravan of death" — the killings and disappearances of 72 dissidents in the days after the Sept. 11, 1973, coup that brought Pinochet to power.
Among those who filed new suits yesterday was Miria Contreras, the secretary of former President Salvador Allende, who Pinochet ousted in the coup.
The Associated Press
Another new suit was filed by Yolanda Avila, the widow of Jose Liendo, a leftist accused of organizing guerrillas in southern Chile and executed a few days after the coup.
Experts reject rape as evolutionary
Two scientists have launched a new attack on the year's most provocative book, "A Natural History of Rape," which portrays rape as a natural product of evolution and suggests all men could be rapists.
The Associated Press
The book suggests that sexual coercion has evolved as a means to increase the reproductive success of those men who would otherwise be rejected as mates.
In Thursday's issue of the scientific journal Nature, two scientists, Jerry Coyne and Andrew Berry, said the book was scientifically flawed.
for example, the book's authors, Randy Thornhill and Craig T. Palmer, report that rape victims tend to be in their reproductive years; the reviewers counter with a 1982 study showing that 29 percent of rape victims were under age 11.
Other rape experts have said the book was full of problems.
"I've read a five-page summary of the book, and I came up with 52 points of disagreement," said University of Arizona public health professor Mary P. Koss.
"The authors claim their book is being rejected on political grounds," Koss said. "But these are criticisms of content and quality."
Thornhill said the book did not condone rape; it merely explored its biological roots.
Thornhill and Palmer previously disagreed about the book with Coyne and other scientific critics, as well as the National Organization for Women and rape counselors.

Former secretary misses hearing
Conboy violates probation, fails to pay restitution
by Mindie Miller
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A former secretary in the Office of Multicultural Affairs convicted of felony theft and misdemeanor theft last September was set to appear yesterday in Douglas County District Court for a probation violation hearing, but she didn't show up.
Craig Stancliffe, Conboy's attorney, said that he could not find Conboy and that she probably didn't know she was supposed to be in court. He said that when he called her phone number, he reached a business.
District Court Judge Robert Fairchild set the matter for a hearing at 1:30 p.m. April 21.
Constance Conboy was sentenced to two years probation and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $15,000 for embezzling money from the OMA to make personal purchases and for writing University checks to people not working
for the office. The district attorney's office has filed a motion to revoke Conboy's probation because it alleges she has not paid her restitution.
Christine Tonkovich, Douglas County District Attorney, said yesterday that the allegation had been made that Conboy had failed to comply with the conditions of her probation and that a hearing would determine if the allegation had any weight.
At her sentencing Oct. 7, 1999, Conboy could have faced six months in prison and one year in the Douglas County Jail, but Fairchild gave Conboy two years' probation instead. The state's motion recommends that Conboy serve the original
presumptive sentence because it says she has not paid the restitution as ordered by the court.
The $15,000 figure is a combination of money Conboy owes Apple Computer, Jock's Nitch Sporting Goods, 837 Massachusetts St., and the Office of the University Comproller for purchases made and checks issued using money from the OMA budget.
The charges against Conboy were filed last February by the former director of what was then known as the Office of Minority Affairs. The embezzlement occurred between May 1997 and September 1998.
Conboy was dismissed from the office April 2, 1999. Stancliffe said Conboy had been unable to find work since then.

Marching, Mardi Gras and Britney Spears.
The University of Kansas Naval ROTC got all three this weekend when it competed in a drill team competition at Tulane University in New Orleans and then marched in a Mardi Gras parade called Endymion.
Spears was the grand marshal.
Alex Ramthun, Bloomington, Minn., senior and midshipman battalion commanding officer, got to meet her before Saturday's parade — and was impressed.
"She is very gorgeous," he said. "She's a very beautiful person. She didn't say she was coming to KU, but I tried to invite her."
Ramthan said the two talked off-stage before Spears was introduced.
He said he then gave Spears a KU T-shirt, mug and other gifts in front of a crowd of 10,000.
As for Friday's drill team competition, Ramthun said he thought his squad did well.
"We still haven't found out what we placed in the tournament," he said.
Mike Muins, Fresno, Cairn, senior and sta-
sergent, also said he thought the platoon did well.
Ramthun said his platoon and squad competed with 64 other large schools, including other Big 12 schools. Mike Mullins, Fresno Calif., senior and staff
Mullins said the platoon had practiced its marching drills four mornings a week for eight weeks.
"They had their best performance when it counted," he said.
He said that if the platoon did not place, he was sure it would receive an honorable mention.
Mullins said the parade route was eight miles long and took five and a half hours to march. About 15,000 people were in the parade, and between 250,000 and 500,000 watched, he said.
Ramthun said that out of the 65 teams in the competition, only KU and the Citadel got to march in the parade.
He attributed that honor to Captain William Howell, marine officer instructor and New Orleans native, who Ramthun said knew somebody In the parade.
But only members from the KU team got to meet Brittine Spears, he said.
"Captain Howell used his connections once again," he said.
Ramthun said Howell was at Camp Pendleton in California for a conference. He could not be reached for comment.
Nathan Bliss, assistant marine officer instructor and drill team adviser, said a platoon had between 17 and 78 people. The platoon competed both as a single unit and as two squads, he said.
The drill team performed precision military marching, he said.
"It teaches discipline by instilling habits and precision and automatic response to orders." Bliss said.
Racial profiling gives pretense to stop vehicles
Continued from page 1A
But Gottlieb said that in some situations, what the officer was thinking did matter. For example, if no one follows a 55 mph speed limit and only minorities are being ticked, the officers' intent should be evaluated, he said.
Usually stops for minor violations are used to check for drugs, Gottlieb said.
"The individuals that get stopped in some of these situations are of"
color way out of proportion to the percentage in the population," Gottlieb said.
According to the American Civil Liberties Union, data gathered in a 1994 Illinois case showed that although fewer than 8 percent of Hispanics used a particular stretch of road, 30 percent of the vehicles stopped on the road had been Hispanic drivers.
Traffic stop statistics by race are not available in Kansas, said Dick Kurtenbach, executive director of
the Kansas City and Western Missouri branch of the ACLU.
But Kurtenbach said his agency received about 12 racial-profiling complaints a year about incidents that had occurred on Interstate 70.
The Kansas Legislature is considering a bill that would require the state to study racial profiling but not to record racial data from every stop.
Both Gottlieb and Howard said they agreed that studying racial profiling in Kansas was an important first step before changing laws.
tatt first step before changing laws. Howard said that the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Fourth Amendment was not the problem but instead balanced individuals' rights with criminal procedure.
"In some people's eyes and minds, Blacks or Hispanics or whites in certain situations appear to be guilty," Howard said. "The Fourth Amendment doesn't provide anything that enhances racial profiling. It's the individuals that do that."
Government minor added to department
By Ryan Devlin writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
The department of public administration, traditionally a graduate department, will open its doors to undergraduates beginning in Fall 2000 with the creation of an undergraduate minor in Public Service and Community Leadershin.
The minor will give civic-minded undergraduates who wish to develop their leadership skills the chance to do so, said George Frederickson, distinguished professor of public administration and government and creator of the minor.
"A number of students in those courses were Truman, Rhodes and Marshall scholars," Frederickson said. "They related to me that they felt we needed more courses with this type of focus, which influenced me to come up with a program that would be more responsive to the needs of students who want to be leaders in public affairs."
Frederickson said he came up with the idea after teaching an undergraduate honors course in public administration for several years.
Steven Maynard-Moody, professor and chair of the department, said the program would have several goals.
"We're interested in providing the opportunity for students to express their interest in public service both in terms of academics and in terms of service within the community," Maynard-Moody said. "We're also interested in showing the role of government in all its aspects to students, and to show that government is not simply the tribulations of elected officials but is something that can play a very positive role within the community."
Frederickson said the department decided to introduce a minor rather than a major because the department was too small to handle the extensive course load and student participation associated with a major. In addition, Frederickson said that because the department was part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, it was committed to a liberal arts education.
"The products of this program would ideally be liberally educated and leadership inclined," Frederickson said.
Maynard-Moody added that the minor would allow students from diverse academic fields to share their experiences and to apply their academic interests to public service.
Fredrickson said the program would require 18 hours of course work, which would include a required summer internship in local government. Maynard-Moody said the summer internship was central to the program.
"The internship will really be the core of the experience," he said. "The range of their internships will be as broad as the range of students' interests, and might include helping neighborhood groups, the homeless, or conceivably working in the planning department of local government."
David Mitchell, Hays junior, said he had expressed his interest in the minor to the department.
"I thought it might be a good supplement to my education in political science and history," he said. "I'm also interested in going into public administration, and thought the minor would be a good introduction."

Students should stand ground with landlords
University and city need to unify to protect tenants' rights
The landlords of Lawrence are not going to clean up the structural blight of this city on their own. It might be wrong of them to avoid this duty. However, the only solution seems to be for the City of Lawrence, the University of Kansas and the student tenants to take responsibility to force their landlords to clean up the messes.
Many landlords allow their properties to fall into disrepair. They are business people and they work from a position of self-interest. Their interests lie in charging the most for a property and spending the least in maintenance. It is commendable when landlords make every effort to maintain their properties, but expecting across-the-board volunteerism by landlords and management companies is a utopian fantasy.
They must be policed, and this burden falls on to the shoulders of the city, the University and the students themselves. We must come to the realization that many landlords are not going to make repairs or respond to tenants' requests until all three of these groups are prepared to act together.
The city has the primary responsibility to police landlords. City administrators are accountable for setting and enforcing apartment standards. The concentration of complaints from the highly student-occupied Oread Neighborhood may explain why the city is reluctant to pursue derelict landlords. Because this is an issue of chief concern to students, and not permanent residents, it seems to be a lower priority for the city.
Students seem to exist in Lawrence only in a transient way. But by signing a lease and paying taxes, a student becomes a deserving recipient of the city's attention. There are not enough resources committed to the problem of inadequate housing maintenance. City administrators must reevaluate their priorities and establish a larger body of housing inspectors who can stay on top of the numerous building violations.
The Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods' proposal would be a productive step for the City Commission to take. Registering local agents, imposing fines and not allowing rentals of other properties would hit landlords in the purse and make them more responsive to regulations. The city now is firing paper bullets at landlords.
The University can do more to help stu
dents with their problems. Because the city has the responsibility of balancing the rights of landlords and tenants, the University must step in and speak for students. If you live on campus, the quality of your living space is ensured by the University, but if you live off campus, you are relatively on your own. Students who don't know whom to turn to when their landlords won't fix their apartments would benefit from an organization committed to advising and
speaking for students.
TENANTS
landlord, but the court backlog makes a legal
challenge ineffective. What the University should establish is an organization that would take on student complaints and pursue them with the city and the landlords. With stronger enforcement by the
LANLORDS
city, a campus office such as this would be capable of getting stronger results. Finally, nothing productive will happen unless the CITY stu dents them-selves take the first step. Landlords know the laws and rules.

know the laws and regulations, and they benefit from the their tenants' ignorance. They also benefit from their tenants' apathy. If you live in an apartment with no heating, cooling or adequate electrical wiring, and simply accept it, then you are making the problem worse for your fellow students. Moving to a new apartment only dumps the burden into another
student's lap. Students need to learn their rights as tenants and when necessary, take proper legal action.
As students, we must make strong demands of the city to champion our needs and to treat us as a permanent part of Lawrence's population. We must demand
from the student population should be prepared to fulfi his or her respons bilities.

Diallo verdict blemishes the idea of Black History Month
You will have to pardon my exuberance, but I'm still experiencing the pride and glory of post-Black History Month syndrome. I hope that everyone understands that last month symbolized freedom and hope for the future to my people. What can I say? A month full of lectures, exhibits and television specials contributed explosively to my moment of retrospective celebration.
This usually leads to a dramatic close, when I actually question the success of my celebration's caise. Interestingly, I have come up with a few questions about last month's questionable existence.

2. Because we are all in this together, shouldn't it have been a month celebrating the reunion of humanity?
cause, but do we really have a legitimate reason to celebrate?
celebrating the reunion of humanity:
My third question was postponed by society's predictable "dagger in the heart" of my hope. On Feb. 4, Amadou Diallo, a Guinean resident of the Bronx in New York City was gunned down in front of his home by four NYPD officers in plain clothes.
Unarmed and innocently cooperative, Diallo was fatally shot 19 times in an array of 41 bullets. Recent rallies and protests that have drawn attention from the likes of the Rev. Al Sharpton, Johnnie Cochran, Khalid Abdul-Muhammad, Susan Sarandon and members of prominent Jewish organizations have joined millions of people in disbelief of the acquittal of all four officers involved in the shooting.
After learning about this incident, I was reminded of a reality that Black History Month could never dream of. Supposedly, the United States is recovering from a miserable history of racial oppression and separation. Today, I realize that Black History Month is just a comforting anesthesia for the pain that the nation always will suffer.
Ban Black History Month! Until Black people have the security to live in a city without fears of being gunned down by authorities, ban Black History Month! Until Black citizens receive justice, ban Black History Month! I refuse to be a hypocrite in my celebrations.
Sure, Black America was proud of its historical perseverance, but more importantly, Black America was glad finally to be included as much as the dominating culture was. Black History Month was and always will be
a humanity month, that and only that.
In 1976, when the nation established Black History Month, Black America was grateful for the recognition. Those outside of the Black culture watched from the sidelines as if the culture had finally received its big break. These same people also were blind to the fact that this significant month subliminally symbolized humanity's declaration of unity.
a humanity month, that and only that. So, here we are today on a planet inhabited with humans of all cultures who still refuse to act orderly. Consequences for officers involved in incidents such as the Diallo shooting must strictly be enforced, especially when two of the officers involved had received prior accusations and court dealings with unjust shooting incidents.
Ladies and gentlemen, you have just been introduced to a modern-day lynching. Why even celebrate Black History Month when participants and speculators cannot see eye-to-eye. I will be proud to have a month only when my pride is cushioned with security and hope. I really am hoping that humanity helps each other with this and somehow applies it to this social brutality.
Civil rights activist and Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver reminds us in his literary insight, Soul on Ice, that the police are only an instrument for the implementation of the policies of those who make the decisions. He goes on to state that police brutality is only one facet of the crystal of terror and oppression.
I beg humanity to end this terror and oppression in an effort to sway the decisions of those who have complete authority. After all, this is a human effort, right? Upon completion of this collective milestone, we can exalt the existence of a Black History Month and celebrate a new and improved type of unity.

'Leave Me The Hell Alone good idea for coalition
True, few students vote. Rather than blaming apathy, obviously coalitions are at fault. By only selecting candidates living in residence halls, greek houses, scholarship halls and off campus, they have ignored the needs of many, apparently at least 80 percent of all students. The perfect way to include them would be through forming this "Leave Me the Hell Alone" coalition mentioned in the cartoon.
The disaffected can sweep this coalition into office, with its campaign
promise to abolish annoying populai elections. Their attitude could trans form Senate. When asked to participate on committees, this coaltion would scowl at the administration and say, "Leave us the hell alone!" That would show them! Students are tired of having a voice in issues such as the Kansas Union renovation. It's time for a change.
The University of Kansas has had a strong student government for decades. All that does is bother students on the way to class. With the Kansan's help, students can finally put an end to their voices on campus. Stopping the Vote in 2000 ...
By cutting off these troublemakers' funding in Senate, the coalition could make campus a place where you can fill out credit card applications in
Positive change wouldn't stop there. Student organizations are always stirring up trouble. They clutter campus with "programs" and "speakers."
I'm sorry, but students just want to be left the hell alone.
peace.

Once a week, I go to the College Corner Laundromat at 19th and Louisiana streets. This might not sound too
streets. This might not sound too extraordinary, unless you consider the fact that I don't bring along any dirty laundry or detergent. Not even any fabric softener. I go to play Galaga.
Galaga, released in 1981 in the United States, is probably the closest thing to arcade game perfection ever invented. It's also one of the most simplicial games.
Why would I choose to play something so two-dimensional when there are so many more complex games to choose from? Perhaps because of its simplicity. Maybe I have some unknown connection to Galaga because we were born during the same year. Maybe I just have too much free time.

JEREMY DALTON
All I can tell you is that when I step up to the controls, the academic and social concerns of college life begin to subside.
When I drop my quarter in the coin slot and hit the yellow fire button for the first time, my concerns are obliterated completely.
Moving the toggle around with my left hand and hitting the fire button with my right, I feel like Tommy the Pinball Wizard. Of course, I'm not a deaf, dumb and blind kid; it isn't pinball, And The Who didn't write a rock opera chronicling my life. But you get the idea.
Playing Galaga, however, isn't completely mindless video game escapism. During the course of my many games, I've found a few ways of philosophically spending all those quarters. It's the game's differences from real life, and a few key similarities, that make it such an effective means of recreation and relaxation.
For example, in almost 20 years, the price of a game of Galaga has stayed the same. No
tuition increases. No extra dime to accommo date the growing expenses of telecommunication. Just a flat 25 cents.
There are no grades in arcade game outer space, no scheduling mix-ups and definitely no 8 a.m. calculus classes. There is no parking department to tow away your spaceship and no vandals to spray paint anti-parking messages.
Floating along the expanses of digital eternity, the multi-colored flashing stars whizzing by my ship. I am free of the tiring cycle of the Western calendar. Games may last only 10 minutes, but they take my mind off all constraints of time.
The game is a testament to the strengths of individuality, but skilled players will tell you the only way to succeed is to get sucked into an enemy tractor beam in order to add a second ship. That's called teamwork.
While I'm off fighting my cosmic battles manipulating the fates of spaceships and aliens in an imaginary galaxy, I'm reminded that sometimes life is just a game.
Perhaps these lessons are a bit grandiose to pull from a 2-decade-old arcade game, and I admit it is a somewhat sad way to escape the harsh realities of college life. It's probably even worse that in a year of national and campus presidential elections, the only thing I can bring myself to write about is how much I like to play Galaga.
Either way, it doesn't matter anymore. After a particularly exhausting Friday night, I went to play a game of Galaga to revive my spirit Instead, all I found was a dark, lint-covered screen and a message saying the machine no longer worked.
Thus, my laundromat visits have ceased, not with a high score, but with an out-of-order sign. Now I must look beyond the computerized skies. I suppose I could take comfort in the fact that College Corner no longer will be getting my business. But somehow, I don't think they're going to miss it.

American Eagle to land in Lawrence
Clothing store, jobs accompany center to area
By John Audlehelm
writer@kansan.com
Konsan staff writer
Next year, students may have a new employment opportunity and beyond that, a new shopping option.
American Eagle Outfitters Inc. announced plans yesterday to build a 402,000 sq. ft., $40 million distribution center at East Hills Business
Park, east of Lawrence on Highway 10, and company officials also said they would build a store here.
Debi Moore, director of economic development for Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said the company had spent the last 18 months looking for the right city in which to open its center.
"We are just elated elated that they are going to be locating there," she said. "They have not identified a time line on the store."
The new distribution center, which will be American Eagle's second in the country, will begin with 150 employees and increase to 300.
Moore said a third of those would be part-time jobs, which could work
well for busv students.
"They make their schedules so flexible that the kids have a chance to work around finals," she said.
Mike Mullis, president and owner of J.M. Mullis Inc., the Memphis, Tenn., consulting firm that helped American Eagle select Lawrence, said his firm's first task was to pick a general location for the distribution center.
The firm decided to build somewhere between Denver and St. Louis, he said, and then looked at costs of shipping and service.
Mullis said that his firm decided the cheapest area was within 100 miles of Kansas City and that it also wanted a university environment.
"Lawrence fit that evaluation process extremely well," he said, "And its excellent leadership worked with us from day one."
Michael Fostyk, vice president of distribution for American Eagle, said one of the deciding factors was the cooperation the company received from city, county and state officials.
Jerry Bottenfield, executive director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., 900 Massachusetts St., said people should take protests about big stores coming into Lawrence with a grain of salt.
He said that local shops gave the city its character but that big businesses and chains provided balance
if they participated in the community.
"We welcome (the store) coming into downtown Lawrence," he said. "Our position is there's nothing not to like about that."
Bottenfield said that, despite protests about Chipotle Mexican Grille, 911 Massachusetts St., and Borders Books Music and Cafe, 700 New Hampshire St., both stores were members of Downtown Lawrence Inc. and paid their dues.
Luca Orecchini, Rinini, Italy,
graduate student, said he would be
interested in the job but could work
only 20 hours a week.
"If I could apply for the job," he said, "Yes, I'd be interested."
City again opens up bus bids after legal disputes
By John Audlehelm
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The company the city selected to manage its new bus system wants to terminate its contract in the hopes Lawrence will select it again.
City manager Mike Wildgen received a letter yesterday from Jon Monson, president of MV Transportation Inc., of Fairfield, Calif., saying MV wanted the city to begin the selection process again. The commission voted last night to redo the bidding process.
"They are recommending that the city start the process up again." Wildgen said.
MV entered the contract to manage the bus system in January.
Overland Park-based Laidlaw Transit Services protested the decision, alleging the city's consultant had a conflict of interest.
Steve Klika works for MV, and his brother Kevin Klika works
for KA Associates of Wichita, the company hired to manage the selection process.
City Commission
John Biard general counsel for MV, and Steve Klika both previously denied the conflict of interest because Steve Klika had no part in the selection process. However, Laidlaw has sued MV because of the issue.
The letter from MV said that because MV did not want Lawrence to get caught up in the legal battle, it recommended the city terminate the contract.
It also said MV was confident the city would select it again.
Wilden said the city would eliminate the possibility of a conflict of interest by handling the process in-house — without KA's help.
He would not comment on whether the city would select MV again.
KA Associates is still helping with other aspects of the bus system, he said.
Wildgen said this would not delay the summer start-up date for the bus system because the city was already in the process of reselecting its bus manufacturer.
The Federal Transit Administration granted an earlier protest in a separate bid from Chance Coach Inc. of Wichita, a company that did not receive the contract to build the buses.

manager of PMS. refused to comment.
Stonehouse Rentals Inc., owned by Salah Ibrahim was second and received nine complaints.
Ibrahim's nephew said that he could not comment on the business's affairs and that Ibrahim was indefinitely out of the country for a funeral.
Del Hedgepath, a Kansas City, Mo., millionaire who lives in a mansion on Ward Parkway, came in third with six complaints. Hedgepath owns 12 living units in Lawrence and hundreds more in Kansas City.
Hedgepath took pride in the fact that he had only had six complaints.
Morning Star Management, owned by Paul Horvath was fourth on the list, with five complaints, and William Lemseny Sr. was fifth on the list with four complaints.
Horvath, who owns 53 living units in Lawrence, said he thought the number of complaints was pretty good.
"If you look at the number of properties and the number of alleged violations, it's really a very small number." Horvath said.
By comparison, Mastercraft Management manages 460 living units but has no complaints or violations.
Lawrence a hot spot
No matter how many properties a landlord owns, any number of violations is cause for concern, according to counselors from Housing & Credit Counseling Inc., a neutral agency financed by federal, state and local grants.
"It's absolutely terrible," said Dorian Heirionimus, a counselor for the agency. "You have to think about the people who live in those homes."
Dorian Heironimus and Cornel Mayfield are two of three housing counselors who work for the agency. They each answer 15 to 20 phone calls a day and advise distraught tenants throughout Kansas.
Calls come frequently from Lawrence, Mayfield said.
"I spent 25 years dealing with landlord and tenant things — Lawrence is bad," he said.
Although the agency advises landlords and tenants, the calls come overwhelmingly from tenants, Mayfield said. Callers most often complain that bad living conditions.
However, apathy and ignorance are the real problems. Mayfield said.
"All over the state of Kansas, it is tenants not knowing what their rights are," Mayfield said. "And it's also a lot of landlords not knowing the law. What happens is, because tenants don't know the law, they get taken advantage of by landlords who do."
In college towns, like Lawrence, universities annually generate a new crop of students inexperienced with housing issues. Students leave the residence halls with little experience with renting. They've never entered into a contract before. They don't know how to protect themselves, and they don't know that they should.
"They're going to college, they're transient," Mayfield said. "They just go to school, they get taken advantage of, and move on."
No working toilet
Att the Viper Pit, McGraw and Batten did not have any functional toilets for a time.
McGraw and Batten called the Building Inspection and Health departments. They left messages.
No one from building inspection called them back. McGraw said.
For a week in January, neither toilet worked. The downstairs toilet began to smell so bad that the residents sealed the bathroom shut with tape.
McGraw said that he called PMS numerous times to get the toilets fixed. Sometimes someone responded. Sometimes no one did.
When PMS did fix the toilets, McGraw said, one flush later the toilets were clogged again.
According to the Kansas Landlord Tenant Act, landlords have two weeks upon notification to make a good faith effort to complete necessary repairs. The act also mandates that landlords, "maintain in good and safe working order and condition all electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning appliances."
Lawrence housing codes define inadequate sanitation as a "lack of, or improper water closet, lavatory, bathtub or shower."
Cafe, 700 New Hampshire St., each time they needed to use the bathroom while they waited for a toilet to be repaired.
"The management companies are looking at the bottom line." Dunn said. "Nobody's connected."
McGraw and his roommates drove to Borders Boarding Mode.
One toilet was replaced a week later. The other was never unclogged.
Dunn said that management companies often can not make major repairs on a property without permission from the owner. Out-of-town

Lawrence City Code says it needs to be — only one toilet per living unit must be functional.
No need to renovate
Currently workers are putting a coat of paint on one of the houses owned by James Dunn, president of Landlords of Lawrence Inc. Another crew is renovating another house.
"I feel like it's part of my mission," Dunn said. "If I'm going to own the properties, you gotta keep working on them."
But other landlords call him crazy, Dunn said.
Rental housing in the Oread Neighborhood isn't kept up because there is no financial incentive to keep them in tip-condition, he said.
"Students pay attention to the paint on the walls, the size of the floorspace or if there's a dishwasher," Dunn said. "They're not going to care about wiring upgrades and whether there's insulation in the walls.
"Students have no experience discriminating between run-down houses and older houses that have been renovated."
It doesn't help things that many Oread Neighborhood houses are old, owned by out-of-town landlords and managed by management companies, he said.
owners find it diffi cult to hire qualified tradesmen to make repairs because so many workers are busy with new construction in Lawrence "I would be the first one."
admit that we have some bad landlords in Lawrence — what you would call slumlords," said Bob Ebey, vice president of Landlords of Lawrence Inc. "The people who belong to our group take care of their properties."
Of the top five violators of city housing codes, only Paul Horvath, owner of Morningstar Management, is a member of Ebey's group, Ebey said.
Rental housing is a good investment, landlords said.
Vacancies cause more concern than low rents, and that has yet to be a problem, even with the recent apartment boom in Lawrence, Ebey said.
Del Hedgepath, who became a millionaire while renting properties, said he would still be a landlord if he had to do it again.
No oral agreements
No one protects the rights of renters
In the lease they signed, PMS pledged to have the house cleaned.
When McGraw and Batten first moved in, the house was filthy, he said.
City government takes side of landlords in disputes
By Dan Curry and Heather Woodward
Kansan staff writers
Lindsay Laricks had lived in her apartment at 738 1/2 Rhode Island St. for three months when she began to notice a mysterious smell.
Then she spoke with the tenants who lived below her.
She cleaned the place from top to bottom, but still it lingered.
"I found out that the foundation had started to crumble," said Laricks, Overland Park senior. "Sand, rock and cement was falling into the basement, causing the plumbing to back up."
Raw sewage filled the basement. Old furniture left by the former tenant and a washer and dryer soaked it up, causing the smell to linger.
She also discovered mice.
The ceiling leaked, faulty electrical wiring caused lamps to short out, not all of the windows had screens and the front porch was sagging.
"I went through about four boxes of poison while I lived there," Laricks said. "There was one closet I knew they were getting in through. I could hear them running around in the walls. I found one dead mouse in my dresser. It wasn't sanitary."
Laricks said her landlord, Richard Kershenbaum, manager of technical services at Academic Computing Services, was unresponsive to several attempts to reach him by telephone.
So she turned to the city for help.
When trying to get repairs done, tenants can sometimes have the cards stacked against them on multiple levels. Landlords can be slow to make repairs, but city building inspectors can be just as slow to force a landlord's hand.
Filing complaints
To file a complaint, tenants must write a letter to the Building Inspections Department. Without written documentation, building inspectors cannot legally enter a property.
But it is only through filing a written complaint that the department ever finds out about problematic properties or landlords. It is not the policy of the office to proactively enforce the housing code on any property that is not new construction.
A minimum-housing complaint ranges from lack of heat, electrical problems, plumbing and sanitation problems to insect or rodent infestation. Severe structural-blight complaints vary from roofs that sag and unsteady porches to crumbling foundations and falling gutters.
"Unless there's a complaint, we don't find out about it," said Jim Sherman, a building inspector.
Any violations found on newly constructed properties are cited in a memo to the owner, who is expected to bring the property up to code expeditiously — usually by the next day, inspector Barry Walthal said.
Seven building inspectors in addition to chief inspector Gene Shaughnessy work to enforce the Lawrence building and housing codes. Six out of seven of the inspectors inspect uninhabited construction or violations of other city ordinances.
A typical day
Inspectors also spend much of their time citing zoning, environmental, weeds, sign and site plan violations. The Kansan obtained a copy from the city office of all city code violations that the office has handled from 1994 to 1999. Based on a Kansan analysis of the records, only 188 of the 4,651 violations are severe structural blight or minimum housing.
Shaughnessy said that in addition to enforcing the housing and building codes, the office also was responsible for enforcing 18 to 20 other city ordi-

nances.
Only Jim Sherman is responsible for inspecting properties about which the office has received complaints from tenants.
And that's not his only job.
Shaughnessy said Sherman was also the city's building permit coordinator and occasionally filled in for other inspectors.
Based on Kansan analysis, the office has conducted an average of one minimum-housing or severe structural-blight inspection every 15 days. (This number does not account for weekends and holidays when the office is closed; it's simply based on the number of days between inspections.)
Sluggish results
Because only Sherman responds to housing-code complaints, tenants, already frustrated by the inaction of their landlords, may face a long wait before an inspector can produce action from their landlords.
On Oct. 1., Sherman inspected Kershenbaum's property on Rhode Island at Laricks' request. He found 10 violations of city housing codes. Those violations included:
But Kershenbaum didn't receive written documentation of the violations until at least a week later when Sherman wrote him a letter on Oct. 8.
Bacteria can be in the basement
An innermost drain in the basement
Electrical and plumbing work done without securing the proper building permits
It takes an average of five days before the building inspector sends a letter after an inspection, according to Kansan analysis of the 88 housing inspections where it could be determined that an inspector sent a letter.
- An inoperable smoke detector on the second floor
Sometimes building inspectors call landlords to inform them of violations rather than sending a letter, Shaughnessy said.
Excess debris in the basement
"If there is a moderate violation like bad plumbing, I won't give them more than 30 days," Sherman said. "If the violation is more of a nuisance, like roaches, I might go up to 45 days."
But the first deadline for having all violations up to code is not always binding. Based on a Kansan analysis, on average it takes 95 days to close a minimum-housing or severe structural-blight case.
"Under certain circumstances, we have to extend that when we talk to an owner who can't get the proper people in; there's nothing they can do about that," Shaughnessy said. "Then we try to work it out in reasonable time period."
Landlords are not always licensed to do complex electrical or plumbing repairs and are at the mercy of such workers' tight schedules. Increased development in West Lawrence has many such experts working full time on new construction.
Kershenbaum said he found that to be the case with his property at 738 I/ Rhode Island St.
"Especially lately, if you're not a big landlord, and you can't give plumbers and electricians lots of business, you're not a priority." Kershenbaum said.
When landlords fail to rectify violations, Sherman said he would send a second correspondence, and if that didn't produce results, seek help from the city prosecutor's office. However, that has only happened a sprinkling of times since 1994, according to city records.
In cases where Sherman does send violations to Lawrence Municipal Court, it is after repeated inspections, repeated extensions granted to the landlord and a final notice sent weeks before a complaint is filed.
Sherman said landlords generally fixed the problem or chose to sell the property.
In cases where Sherman declares a property uninhabitable, the tenant has 24 hours to vacate, unless the situation is immanently life-threatening.
Sherman gave Kershenbaum until Nov. 12 to correct each of the 10 violations for a reinspection. Sherman said on Dec. 6 — more than two months after the initial inspection — that he had yet to reinspect the property because an earlier date set by Kershenbaum did not fit into his schedule.
Frustrated by the magnitude of the problem combined with the lack of results to fix it, Laricks decided to move rather than wait for the violations to be brought up to minimum-housing code standards.
Wanting out
One pattern that frustrates both landlords and building inspectors is tenants who use small violations as excuses to break their leases. Kershenbaum said he suspected other tenants attempted to do just that.
"It really was a miserable experience for us," he said. "They made it very hard because they were not understanding when we couldn't get someone in there immediately."
Shaughnessy would not comment on the phenomenon but acknowledged that the problem was a major one.
"The biggest time is in the fall, when we get six to eight cases per year." he said.
Shaughnessy said that although inspectors could not verify their suspicions, they sometimes found violations that could have been created by the tenant who had called to complain.
However, Shaughnessy said inspectors were tied by the housing code and could not disregard violations on a property because of speculation about a tenant's motivation.
"We don't take sides," Shaughnessy said.
However, according to city records, one such case occurred on Oct. 24,1997.
That day the inspector wrote, "Tenant had small problems that needed corrected. My feeling is she wanted out. No further contact. Case closed."

After one year, the department destroys the hard copies of the letters that detail the violations, which it sends to landlords.
There is a master computer where inspectors log their daily progress on properties. Shaughnessy, said that the data was kept primarily as personal notes and that the office never had done analysis of the data to find out who the repeat offenders or properties were.
Beyond the date of inspection, an ambiguous closing date and the type of violation, further information is often vague if not completely absent. The name of the landlord is not always listed. According to a Kansan analysis of city records, 30 percent of the minimum-housing or severe structural-blight violations did not indicate when a reinspection was done or in some cases any data beyond the date of the initial inspection.
The records do show that the department often does not reinspect a property unless a tenant calls a second time to complain.

return deposits
PMS told the residents that if they cleaned it out, it would compensate the residents for their trouble, McGraw said.
McGraw and his friends cleaned the house, but PMS never delivered the money.
PMS leases state that oral agreements are not binding.
"A lot of leases have a little line in there that says no oral agreements are binding," said Jo Hardesty, director of KU Student Legal Services. "Oral agreements are still binding between people, but unless there are witnesses, it's hard to prove in court."
Deposit battles
A trash pile in the garage was never removed for the entire year that McGraw and Batten lived at 1915 Vermont St.
After McGraw's lease was up and he moved out, PMS mailed him a sheet of paper itemizing the charges against his deposit.
McGraw said that he had asked PMS to clean the trash out of the garage when he first moved in.
Included in the charges was a $100 charge for removing the pile of trash.
"It was shocking to find that we were being charged for trash that pre-existed at our arrival." McGraw said.
Landlords often withhold money from a tenant's deposit oftjustifiably, and this is one of the most frequent complaints received by KU Legal Services for Students and Housing & Credit Counseling Inc.
Landlords are required by state law to itemize and explain each deduction from a deposit.
PMS withheld the entire deposit, $1,095, from McGraw and the other tenants, and the company sent them a bill for $559 more.
Many of the PMS charges, however, are not justified.
On the inventory McGraw received, no description was included for the garage of the house. No record exists of the garage's move-in and move-out conditions.

than when we moved in," McGraw said.
Elsewhere in the itemized charges, PMS charged the tenants $76 for missing dining room outlet covers, a burned out light bulb, a missing downstairs bathroom tissue holder, a crack in the bedroom window and a broken light fixture in a bedroom.
On McGraw's inventory, all of these items were marked as broken or missing when he moved in.
In addition, PMS had charged the residents previous to McGraw $50 for the same cracked window and missing coverlets, but it hadn't fixed them before McGraw moved in.
So far PMS had earned as much as $491 by charging tenants for problems that PMS should have fixed.
McGraw went to the PMS office and pointed out its errors.
PMS reduced their charges by $79.
McGraw and his housemates have not paid PMS any of the money.
Dan Simon, the PMS employee who filled out the inventory checklist, said he only was responsible for filling out the list, not assigning the charges.
PMS would not comment further.
KU Legal Services for Students advised McGraw and his roommates to file a suit against PMS in small-claims court, where a three-month-long waiting list currently exists.
Most students don't have the time it takes to contest unfair practice at court. Most just sign their lease, take their losses and move on.
If they get such money back, the draw suit, it would be an exception.

Other college towns have fewer housing complaints
By Dan Curry and Heather Woodward
Kansas staff writers
In Lawrence, the Building Inspection Department is complaint-driven, which means no inspections for housing code violations happen unless someone complains in writing.
But this is not the only way of doing things.
In Ames, Iowa, building inspectors have been required to inspect all rental housing every three years since 1979.
"The bottom line is fire and life safety," said Mike Fry, Ames housing inspector. "If they got people living in these houses, we don't want them to die in them."
Ames, like Lawrence, has a substantial student population that has become less content to remain in residence halls, and an apartment boom was the result.
They keep a record of each mandatory inspection in an office computer, and they keep hard conies filed away.
With more apartments to inspect, Fry and four other crew members had to pick up the pace.
In Lawrence, Jim Sherman is the only building inspector responsible for housing codes, which surprised Fry.
Even without mandatory inspections to do, Fry said it sounded like Sherman had his hands full.
"I'd be burned out in two months if I was him," Fry said. "They would have to pay me $150,000 a year."
Mandatory inspections are criticized for being invasive and burdensome, not only for landlords, who must worry about them, but for the tenants, who must allow a stranger to snoop around in their homes.
But Fry said he rarely encountered a tenant bitter about the inspection.
"People are used to it bv now." he said.
Paul Johnson, director of Student Legal Services at Iowa State University, said that despite the mandatory inspections, his office still received plenty of complaints about landlords.
"Most of the cases are deposit dispute cases," Johnson said.
Johnson said he saw 200 cases in 1999. About 40 percent of those cases dealt with substandard conditions.
"We've gotten lots of calls, and it's just an on-going thing," said Jo Hardesty, director of KU Legal Services for Students. "Students have issues, and the cases that come in are usually ridiculous. It shouldn't have to get to that point."
Gene Shaughnessy Lawrence chief building inspector, said that Lawrence experimented with mandatory inspections in the '70s, but quickly found it unfeasible — even then there were too many properties and too much paperwork.
Lawrence might find a solution in Manhattan, Kan.
Manhattan has established a special escrow account for tenants who have landlords that will not make necessary repairs.
After serving notice to their landlords, Manhattan tenants can place their rent checks in a temporary bank account. Landlords can withdraw the money only if the repairs are made.
Dianne Urban, Kansas State University's director of Student Legal Services, said that the city's escrow account was seldom used because most problems were solved by calling Manhattan's Building Inspection Department.
Urban had about 300 landlord complaint cases in 1999 and 218 in 1998.
A local initiative
Lawrence has more than 16,000 rental units, which is about 52 percent of all the housing units in the city.
Shaughnessy said his present staff would not be able to handle a three-year mandatory inspection program.
"I would say to do a thorough job, it would take at least a half-hour," Shaughnessy said. "So doing about eight per day, with just one person, we wouldn't even be done with all 16,000 properties before it would be time to start again."
Until recently, the city has been unaware that housing issues were a problem that needed to be addressed.
"Housing wasn't a major issue while I was on the commission," said John Nalbandian, who served on the Lawrence City Commission for eight years and did not seek re-election last spring. "I don't think it was a major problem because I haven't heard many complaints about it in this area. Usually if there's a problem, people say we need to change the law."

■ Read the lease before you sign it.
Ask friends and former tenants about the land lard and the property you plan to rent.
Go examine the place you are actually moving into.
Keep an eye out for renewal clauses in the lease. Some leases may stipulate that a tenant must notify the landlord that he or she does not plan on staying another year. Otherwise the lease will renew itself.
■ Bring a video camera along during the check in walk-through.
Oral agreements are nonbinding. Make the landlord put any promises in writing.

Now someone has.
Last February, City Manager Mike Wildgen presented a staff report on housing to the Lawrence City Commission and suggested it have a study session about housing, specifically rental issues. Although the commission unanimously voted to study the issue after the election of the new commission April 6, it did not begin to study rental issues until this January, when the Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods brought commissioners a proposal.
The proposal would require each landlord renting property in Lawrence to register formally with the city. Jo Andersen Abbott, president of the association, said the organization brought the proposal at the request of several commissioners.
Abbott said when neighborhood residents had complaints about a property, they could not find the landlord.
Under the association's proposal, landlords who don't live in town would have to have a local agent who could respond to problems with the property or tenants. There also would be mandatory self-inspections. Each landlord would have to fill out a checklist noting that the property met health, safety and housing-code standards already required by city code. Finally, landlords would have to agree to a good-neighbor policy that would appease neighborhood residents' pleas for less noise, trash and partying by tenants. Landlords would have to inform tenants of the policy.
"Our proposal is such that if there were complaints on a property, the penalties would be pretty stiff because if a landlord was registered, then they're obviously not ignorant. They would have willfully disobeyed the rules," Abbott said. "The landlord would have to stop renting to all their properties until the complaint was corrected."
The landlord also would be fined, she said.
However, not everyone agrees the proposal is the answer. Landlords of Lawrence Inc. has stated that it is firmly against the association's proposal.
Bob Ebey, vice president of Landlords of Lawrence Inc., said the association's assertion that landlords were unreachable was false.
"One of their main concerns is that a neighbor can't find the owner of a house." Eby said. "That's not true. They can call the courthouse."
Ebey said that increased scrutiny of landlords was the wrong focus for new law.
"We feel if the city enforced the existing laws, there wouldn't be a problem," he said.
James Dunn, president of Landlords of Lawrence Inc., agreed.
“It'd be a nightmare for the city,” he said. “The city has enough codes on the books, right now. If they get aggressive with the code, it'll be enough.”
Abbott said she was surprised that all landlords were not in favor of the proposal.
"Lots of landlords helped us write it," she said. "They should be on our side. Everyone will benefit except for people who are breaking the rules. There are a few bad apples that are creating the problem."

Speaker stresses education
Native Americans face challenges with stereotypes
By Ryan Blethen
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Brad Hamilton has dedicated his professional career to the betterment of life for Native Americans.
Hamilton, who is Apache and Yuma, spoke yesterday at the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive, as part of the Kansas Association for Native-American Education conference. He has worked in many different capacities with Native Americans in Kansas since his graduation from Kansas Wesleyan University in 1975.
"I've been involved in the advocacy for Native-American groups for 20 to 25 years." Hamilton said.
Hamilton was named the first director of the Kansas Office of Native-American Affairs when the office was created in October. In addition to that job, Hamilton also serves as the vice governor's Interstate
Indian Council, as a state representative for the National Congress of American Indians and as a member of the business advisory committee for curriculum at Haskell Indian Nations University.
When the office was created, Hamilton thought it would be a great opportunity to be the first director and work in an office where the parameters were not yet established.
"You don't have a road map, but you get to help build the road," he said. Gov. Bill Graves created the office because he saw a need for state government to have daily contact with the Native Americans of Kansas, Hamilton said.
Hamilton said the office worked as an embassy for Native Americans in Kansas.
At yesterday's convention, a crowd of about 105 educators, students and people concerned about the education of Native-American youth listened to Hamilton at a lunch-time speech. The topics he tackled were the state of Native-American affairs in Kansas and the challenges facing Native-American youth.
"I can truthfully say this -- that the state of Indian affairs in Kansas is better than it has ever been," Hamilton said.
Hamilton stressed the importance of education for Native-American youth. He also said Native-American students shouldn't listen to people who told them they couldn't succeed.
Cornel Peeweardy, assistant professor for teaching and leadership, who introduced Hamilton, addressed the crowd when Hamilton finished speaking.
"I was one of those students who was told to go to trade school or the military." Pewwardy said.
He said his high school counselor told him he should go into the military.
"Your people are good at that," he said his counselor told him.
Donis Tucker, a Lawrence graduate student who taught school on a Native-American reservation in Arizona, said she thought Hamilton's speech was inspiring and that each person could help a student.
"I think we, as individuals, don't see the impact we have," she said.
Having an office that deals with Native-American issues is important, said Dave Cade, director of the Pelathe Community Resource Center, 1423 Haskell Ave.
"I think it's long overdue," he said. "It will be helpful for programs like ours that work in urban areas."
VATICAN CITY
Fulfilling a major goal of his papacy, Pope John Paul II plans to deliver a historic, sweeping apology for the sins of Roman Catholics during the centuries, Vatican officials said yesterday.
The Associated Press
Pope to excuse past Catholic sins
It was unclear how specific the pope would be, although the very idea has drawn opposition from some cardinals and others in the church.
The pope's homily for the Day of Pardon Mass on Sunday in St. Peter's Basilica is apparently still being written.
But a document prepared by an international group of theologians released in Paris last week, and statements by officials yesterday, suggested the pope would at least allude to responsibility by the Catholics in the Holocaust, the Inquisition, the Crusades and acts against other Christians in wars of religions.
Lapses by present-day Catholics, including sins
against women, the poor and failure to defend against abortion also could be included.
Officials also appeared to be setting limits on how such an apology should be viewed.
"It cannot assume the aspect of a spectacular self-flagellation," said Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, president of the Vatican's 2000 Jubilee Committee.
No pope has ever gone to such lengths to seek forgiveness for past sins, Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said.
When the pope was planning celebrations for 2000, the Vatican acknowledged that some cardinals wanted him to look ahead and not backward through the church's history.
The document also spoke of reservations raised by those worried that an admission of fault by Catholics might look like acquiescence in the face of accusations made by those prejudicially hostile to the
church.
It is instead intended to provide the context for the pope's call for a "purification" of the church.
On the Holocaust, the document said it was important to keep a moral and religious memory of the injury inflicted on Jews.
Some Jews were upset that the Vatican's landmark 1996 document on the Holocaust did not condemn the church hierarchy for any failures to save Jews.
The Vatican and John Paul have consistently defended Pope Plus XII, who served during World War II and is a candidate for beatification.
Israeli Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau said the latest reference to the Holocaust was disappointing.
And an italian gay rights group complained that the document failed to ask forgiveness for the treatment of homosexuals, calling them the most numerous victims of theocratic violence, in the past as today.
The church condemns homosexual acts.

Bush, Gore triumph in primaries
Underdog camps forced to think about withdrawal
The Associated Press
George W. Bush won California, New York and at least five other Super Tuesday primaries, accelerating his drive to vanquish John
McCain's political insurgency. "It's a huge step toward the nomination," Bush declared as McCain considered whether to continue his Republican presidential campaign.
PRESIDENT BUSH
Bush: won all but four of the Republican primaries
Based on early returns, Bush picked up at least 309 delegates, pushing his total to date to 479. McCain won 90 delegates yesterday, giving him 195 so far. There were 613 delegates at stake.
Shortly after calling Bush to congratulate him on his victories, McCain said: "We're very pleased with the victories we won and disappointed with the ones we lost."
he said he would meet with
2000 Race for President
Bush won Ohio, Georgia, Missouri and Maryland by double-digit margins—and he broke McCain's hold in the Northeast with narrower victories in New York and in Maine.
his ales today and talk about the future.
McCain won Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont as voters in 13 states participated in the year's largest night of presidential contests.
Vice President Al Gore also swept past Bill Bradley in Super Tuesday primaries from Maine to California, pushing his rival to the brink of withdrawal in the Democratic presidential campaign.
"We need to build on our record of prosperity," the vice president said, turning his focus toward November.
Gore, who regularly gained 60 percent of the vote or more, defeated Bradley in the New England states of Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, completing a regional sweep that began in New Hampshire's leadoff primary more than a month ago. He triumphed, as well, in Georgia, where he was winning roughly
80 percent of the vote; Ohio,
roughly 70 percent; and New
York, Maryland and Missouri,
roughly 60 percent.
California was his biggest prize of the night with 367 delegates
"He won, I lost," said Bradley, all but conceding his challenge.
challenge was finished
Bradley came closest in Vermont, where he was gaining 44 percent of the vote.
PETER S. HAWKINS
In addition to primaries in 11 states, Gore won party caucuses in N o r t h Dakota.
Gore: swept the Democratic primaries
Bradley telephoned his congratulations to Gore, then appeared before supporters. Despite his defeats, he claimed credit for having launched the beginning of a new politics and for elevating the issues of gun violence, poverty and campaign finance reform.
He said he would announce his plans in the next few days, and aides did nothing to discourage talk of a withdrawal.
None of the candidates could accumulate the magic number of delegates yesterday needed to win their respective parties' nominations.

Kosovo street fight leaves many injured
The Associated Press
YUGOSLAVIA — A fight between an ethnic Albanian and a Serb escalated into a street battle yesterday in which 18 French peacekeepers and 24 civilians were wounded, a further sign of the deep ethnic hatred dividing Kosovo.
The violence broke out on the northern side of Kosovska Mitrovica, and U.N. officials were forced to suspend attempts to register Serbs wanting to return to their homes on the southern, ethnic Albanian side of town. Later, the U.N. moved the divided city's curfew earlier by two hours to 8 p.m.
According to witnesses, an ethnic Albanian identified as Luan Miftari attacked an unidentified Serb man with a crowbar in an Albanian neighborhood on the Serb-controlled side of Kosovska Mitrovica.
An Associated Press reporter saw several Serbs rush to help the injured man, while others went after Miftari. In the crush, an ethnic Albanian opened fire from the backyard of a nearby house, seriously wounding one Serb.
"That created panic," said Lt. Matthieu Mabin, a representative for the French peacekeepers, who arrived after the shooting started.
The French troops and police were running down a narrow side street, toward the shots, when someone threw grenades at them. he said.
Medics scrambled to stabilize one soldier's leg wound as another lay on the ground moaning. Those who were not hurt in the blasts dragged injured comrades toward waiting ambulances.
Twenty Serbs, 16 French peacekeepers and four ethnic Albanians were injured, according to Lt. Col Patrick Chanliu, another representative for the French peacekeepers. A 17th peacekeeper was injured in a separate incident, he said.
Four ethnic Albanians were arrested in the shootings, Chanliau said.
The number wounded was the most since Oct. 12, when 33 people were wounded near the bridge that connects the ethnically divided neighborhoods.
By late afternoon, a rocket hit one of the buildings, slamming into the structure's seventh floor. No injuries were reported.
Members of a group of about 50 ethnic Albanians, who said they had fled to the southern side yesterday, claimed Serbs had thrown grenades at their homes, moving from one Albanian house to the next to drive out residents.
German 'baby drop' to give mothers a choice
The Associated Press
HAMBURG, Germany Desperate mothers who do not want their babies will soon be able to drop them off anonymously through a chute at a Hamburg day-care center, under a project being launched by a youth help organization.
When placed into the chute, a baby will fall into a warm bed and be placed in the program's care, said project leader Helder Kaiser. Mothers have eight weeks to rethink their decisions, she said.
The program was devised to give women an alternative to abandoning or even killing their babies when they were unable to care for them or did not want to keep them, Kaiser said.
In the United States, Minnesota has introduced a similar program and Los Angeles is discussing one. A baby drop also exists in South Africa.
There were several abandoned baby cases in Hamburg last year, including one in which a newborn was found dead in a trash container.
Twenty newborns are abandoned in Germany every year, and about half of them die, said Friedhelm Guethoff of the Children's Protection Agency in Wuppertal.
"The women in these panicked situations had secret pregnancies because there were massive family conflicts involved," he said. These women gave birth in bathrooms and parks and feel they need to get rid of their babies before anyone finds out, he said.
With the project launch three weeks away, it was still unclear if the city government endorsed the project.
Conservative local politicians criticized the project yesterday as inhuman.
"Charges must be brought against the first person who leaves their child there," said Viviane Spethmann of Christian Democrats.
But local Roman Catholic bishop Hans-Jochen Jaschke said the project was a good sign for society.
"Every person needs a chance to live," he said. "It's always better to help people than to condemn them."

Joan Baez draws fans of all ages
By BriAnne Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Joan Bae performs to a sold-out crowd last night at Liberty Holl. A diverse crowd spanning several generations was present to hear her. Photo by Jay Sheaper/KANSAN
Joan Baez's folk music still had the power to draw a sold-out show of almost 700 last night at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
The crowd standing in line before the show spanned all ages, from old hippies reuniting on the sidewalk to children getting a firsthand dose of the albums they heard growing up.
Baez, 60, opened solo on guitar with a song by folk singer Dar Williams. On the second song, the band came out and accompanied Baez's mellow Irish song about keeping her head above the waves.
Baez's band consisted of Adam Kirk on guitar and vocals, Mark Peterson on bass and vocals, Joshua Segal on violin, mandolin, saxophone and vocals, and Carol Steele on percussion and vocals. Baez also featured Eliza Carthy, a popular British vocal singer, on vocals.
Carthy joined the group on the third song and sang with Baez on the classic, "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."
freshman, said she wasn't a big fan of Baez but had heard of her because she sang a song with the Indigo Girls. She said she went to the concert with her
Whitney McMahan, Topeka
parents. Emily Foster and Laney McMahan, who had listened to Baez in the '60s.
Foster said she liked Baez's voice.
"She was real idealistic," Foster said. "But that was a common theme of the times."
Baez's four-decade musical career spanned the globe. Meredith Clayton, a student at the University of Health Sciences in Kansas City, Mo., grew up listening to her mom's Baez albums. Clayton gave the concert tickets to her mother for Christmas. She had not been to a Baez concert before.
Although Baez has continued to record albums, Clayton said that Baez was not as visible as she used to be.
Clayton said that she had Baez's 1998 CD, Gone From Danger, and that Baez's style had not changed much, though her message had.
"There was a lot more protest in the '60s," Clayton said. "Now I think it's more reflective."

Rock band's image not reality
By BriAnne Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Insane Clown Posse brought its clown makeup and explicit lyrics to a sold-out show last night at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., and will give a repeat performance there at 9 tonight.
Juggalos — ICP fans — stood outside of the club yesterday afternoon to wait for the doors to open at 7 p.m. and be sprayed with copious amounts of bright-nink Fyre sode.
ICP's two members are Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope.
The "They're Wicked Clowns from Outer Space" tour showcases the pair's latest CD, The Amazing Jeckel Brothers. The album has guest spots with Wu Tang Clan's Ol' Dirty Bastard on the track "Bithesh!," Snoop Doggy Dogg joined in on "The Shaggy Show," and the Jerky Boys made prank phone calls in the middle of some tracks.
Enright said his favorite song on the new CD was "Terrible" because of the rap and rock feel and powerful lyrics.
Ryan Enright, Shawnee junior,
became a Juggalo last summer when
he heard "Another Love Song" on
105.9 the LAZER. It was a love song
with an ICP twist: A love struck man
was planning to kill his girlfriend
because she had cheated on him.
"I think the message behind "Terrible" is that society and the media only care about issues that are comparable to ongoing soap operas and completely ignore issues that deal with human suffering, injustice and death," Enright said.
Enright said that he didn't take most of ICP's lyrics seriously and that he thought the music was
unsuitable for kids.
"Anybody who believes that they actually promote murder and violence needs to get out more," he said. "Their lyrics are nothing more than fantasy, but children should not be exposed to this or any other type of adult material until they can effectively determine the difference between fantasy and reality."
Enright said he thought the clown schtick was basically just a way to market the group.
"Their lyrics show that they are crazy and nontraditional, so the makeup just reinforces that attitude." Enright said. "People might not have paid as much attention to them if they didn't have a different edge in presenting themselves."
CLIC
Michelle Dyer, employee at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said she heard about ICP a couple of years ago during the controversy about different states wanting to censor the group.
Dyer said she was happy to see that 90 percent of rappers had evolved into spreading a positive message. "We're not bitches and beans."
"They're nasty, but they shouldn't be censored." Dyer said.
"Tupac was the saving grace because he had a more positive image," Dyer said. "It wasn't so filled with hate and derogatory slams toward women and young black men."
She said that despite ICP's influence, rap had undergone an uphalvea because of rapper Tupac Shakur, who was killed in 1996.

afternoon and said the concert
would be their 10th or 11th ICP

Story by Shawn Hutchinson
our games in four days for the four-pate. In the simplest terms, that's the task facing No. 24 Kansas Jayhawks tomorrow when they begin their quest for a fourth straight Big 12 Tournament title.
The site will be Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., where the Jayhawks have flourished during the last few years. They've won all three previous Big 12 Tournament titles at Kemper and are 9-0 lifetime in the event.
The 'Hawks cruised to the title in 1997, behind future NBA players Jacque Vaughn, Scot Pollard, Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce. Kansas pulled off the repeat in 1998 with LaFrentz and Pierce at the helm. Then last year, the Jayhawks accomplished the trifecta by beating up on a weary Oklahoma State squad that was playing its fourth game in four days.
Because of a lukewarm 11-5 regular season Big 12 Conference record, the Jayhawks, 22-8 overall, finished fifth in the conference. The top four finishers in the conference get first-round byes and only have to win three games to capture the title.
Almost on cue, that's where this year's Kansas team comes in.
Without the luxury of a first-round bye, the Jayhawks have to trek into unchartered territory and win four games in four days if they want to carry home the trophy.
In Big 12 Tournament history — all three years of it — no team has ever won the title via collecting four straight victories.
"I think that it can be done," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "I like the challenge of trying to do it when everyone says you can't."
Many teams have tried. Of the 24 teams that haven't had first-round bites, five have gone
on to win second-round games. Of those five, two have advanced to the title game — Missouri in 1997 and Oklahoma State last year.
Both teams, however, ended up getting roasted by a more-rested Kansas team in the title game.
"I think first because we believe we can," he said. "Secondly, we have a history of going over (to Kemper) and playing well, and our seniors are going to put a lot of pressure on people.
While many would look at the Jayhawks' lack of a first-round bye this season as a kiss of death, Williams has a few reasons why he thinks his team can win it.
"Third reason... I think we have some depth. Not necessarily as much as we had at the beginning of the season with Luke (Axtell) and Jeff Carey out, but I think our depth can be a factor."
Perhaps that is where the key to this tournament rests for the Javhawks — their depth.
Williams has said all season that depth was one of the most overrated concepts in college basketball. With so many TV timeouts, Williams often jokes that his players can take naps on the sidelines because breaks last so long.
But with Axell and Carey out, the Jayhawks depth isn't what it was.
Kansas probably won't need too much depth
But in that same breath, Williams also concedes that the one situation where depth can benefit a team is in tournaments.
"When you are playing four games straight in the tournament without the three and four day rests in between, depth is very important." Williams said.
to take care of its first-round opponent, the No. 12 seed Kansas State Wildcats. The Jayhawks enter tomorrow's game at 2:20 p.m. with the knowledge that they have won 18-straight against K-State. On top of that, the Wildcats, with a 9-18 record overall and a 2-14 record in Big 12, resemble a team playing on its last legs.
If Kansas averts an unforeseeable disaster and ends up wrangling the Wildcats, the 'Hawks will be pitted against fourth-seeded Oklahoma State on Friday afternoon at 2:20 p.m. That's the same Cowboy team that dominated Kansas by 33 points last month.
If the Jayhawks beat the Cowboys showdown with the No. 1 seeded Iowa State Cyclones, who have already sandwiched the Jayhawks twice this season, is in the mix on Saturday.
Survive a Cyclone scare, and a Sunday afternoon showdown against nationally ranked Oklahoma or Texas for the Big 12 title is possible.
"It's going to be a different path to the title, obviously," said senior Nick Bradford, who has been a part of the Jayhawks three previous Big 12 Tournament championship teams. "But we feel like we can do it. People say that we can't do it, but we want to prove them wrong."
Talk to Bradford's coach, and he'll say just about the same thing.
"I like the idea of showing people that it can be done," Williams said. "The first year and the third year we won, Kansas wasn't given enough credit because people said those other teams were worn out from having to play four straight days.

"if we get to Sunday afternoon, you won't hear me talking about running out of gas."

Seniors hope to leave with a perfect record
Seniors look to end basketball season on wave of victory
By Matt Tait
sports@kansas.com
Kansas sportswriter
Don't blame the Jayhawks four seniors for expecting to win this year's Big 12 Tournament—none of them have ever lost it.
Since Nick Bradford and Terry Nooner's freshman year — the same year as the birth of the Big 12 — Kansas has cruised through the post-season conference tournament with a 9-0 record. After three straight tournament championships in a row, they don't expect to lose this year.
Winning the conference tournament, however, is not the only thing for which this class will be remembered. In Bradford's and Nooner's four years and Lester Earl's and Ashante Johnson's transfer years, the four seniors have done so much more.
"We are expecting to play four games, four days in a row," Bradford said. "And I think we have a chance to win it."
Their four-year record is 104-24, including 52-12 in the Big 12. They also have won two regular season Big 12 championships, along with three tournament titles.
Their winning ways in tournaments have not been restricted to Big 12 play. The four seniors also have been a part of a Maui Invitational Tournament championship team in 1996-97, a Preseason NIT championship and this season's Great Alaska Shootout crown. Add three NCAA Tournament appearances, with a fourth most likely on the way, and that's an impressive list of accomplishments.
None of the four is an All-American, none of the four leaves Kansas atop the all-time scoring or rebounding list or is a certain NBA draft pick. But Kansas coach Roy Williams said that, in a way, they would be remembered as if they were.
"Individually they have not done what Jacque (Vaughn) and Jerod (Haase) and Scot (Pollard) and Raeaf (Frentz) and Billy (Thomas) had done," Williams said. "But, in some ways, through more adversity, more turbulent times and more problems, you grow closer to those guys than the guys where everything's peaches and cream."
And that is perhaps what this class will most be remembered for - fighting through the tough, un-Kansas-like times.
"I want to be remembered as a hard working person who never gave up." Earl said. "And I think that could be the trademark for Nick and Terry and Ashante and me. We came out every day and busted our butts. We tried to dictate how practice went through our intensity and work ethic."
As the seniors near the end of their careers, they want to go out fighting with the same hard work and effort that defined their careers. The first step of the rest of their collegiate careers comes in the Big 12 tournament where they've never lost — not a bad place to start.
"I'm hoping that the seniors tell the other guys that they've never lost in the tournament and they don't want to start now." Williams said.
And, that is exactly what they're doing.
"It's my senior year," Bradford said. "And if I'm going to go down, I'm not going quiet."
In his final game at Allen Fieldhouse, with his final words to the 16,300 fans that cheered for him for four years Bradford vowed, "I'm not going to guarantee any victories, but I can guarantee you that these 14 guys will come out and compete and play as hard as we can for these last games in March."
That is how this senior class will be remembered.

Axtell out for season
Kansas junior Luke Axtell, who has sat out the last 10 games because of an undisclosed medical condition, will not return to action this season.
"He came in, and we talked and decided that he is not going to play for the rest of the season," K an s a s coach Roy Will i am s said yesterday "I fully expect that he will be back playing next year."
---
Axtell: expected to return to the court next season
After suffering a broken hand early in the season and missing the Jayhawks first exhibition game,
Axtell joined the lineup and averaged 8.7 points and 2.8 rebound in 20 games. Axtell also connected on 31 three-pointers.
"The toughest thing for Lukie is that he played this season as an effective force that helped us but was never healthy," Williams said. "Be it a broken hand or foot, he really struggled to come back around all the way. But, even with a sub-par Luke, he was extremely helpful to us and did some great things to help us win."
■ Williams said that if freshman forward Drew Gooden performed well in practice today, he would be back in the starting lineup for tomorrow's Big 12 Tournament opener against Kansas State. Gooden was bounced from the line-up five games ago and replaced by senior Ashante Johnson.
"All (Drew) has to do is have one good practice in a row and he'll start." Williams said.

Lester Earl
Maggie Curry /KANSAN
College basketball has been an interesting ride for Lester Earl.
the forward from Baton Rouge, La., arrived at Kansas four years ago during the second semester of his freshman season at Louisiana State. Kansas originally had recruited Earl, but he instead chose to stay close to home and attend Louisiana State. Midway through his first year, Earl was not happy with the situation. He asked the school to grant him a release from his scholarship so he could transfer to Kansas.
Once in Lawrence, Earl was greeted with the expectations that he would be the missing piece to the puzzle — the tough, dominant inside force that Kansas needed. Three knee surgeries later, Earl could barely run the court at times, and he was nowhere near the athlete he once was.
"I'd go home sometimes and be in tears and say to myself that I was never going to be the same," Earl said. "But I want to be remembered as a hard-working person who never gave up. There were times I wanted to give up, but I never did."
In three full years at Kansas he never played an entire season, whether it was because of injuries and surgeries or off-the-court incidents — and he was often criticized. But Williams said that for the most part, the criticisms were unfair.
"No one has had a more difficult time off the court and been criticized or be under scrutiny more than Lester Earl." Williams said. "And yet my association with Lester is something that will always be special.
Ashante Johnson
"I say for my mom and I that we love you coach for everything you've done for me an everything you've stood by me for, and I apologize for all the distractions and all the problems that I've caused Kansas."
And on senior day, Earl said the same to his coach.

interesting story to tell.
Kansas forward Ashante Johnson spent the least amount of time holding the microphone during Senior Day speeches Sunday after the Jayhawks defeated Missouri in Allen Fieldhouse. But Johnson might have had the most
The San Diego native was a late addition to the 1998 recruiting class as a transfer from Canada Junior College in California. Before playing at Canada, Johnson played behind future NBA lottery pick Keith Vorn at the
University of Utah.
Johnson shot 39 percent from three-point range at Cañada and had the ability to become a post threat for the Jayhawks. But he fractured his right patella before the start of last season and was limited to 15 games.
This season, Johnson has stayed injury free and is averaging 3.8 points and 2.1 rebounds per game. His numbers aren't eye-popping, but Johnson did score a career-high 16 points against Princeton in December. He has started the last five games during the heart of the Big 12 Conference season.
After two seasons as a dayhawk, Johnson said that it wouldn't be the big wins or the big expectations that he would remember most.
What will he remember? The big road trips.
what will he remember? The big road trips. "Kansas is always the big game wherever you go." Johnson said. "It's strange coming from a junior college. Everywhere you go people want to see Kansas play."
-Shawn Hutchinson
In an 83-82 victory against Missouri on Senior Day, Bradford scored 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds. For the season he is averaging 7.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.
Nick Bradford
"This year has been fun," said Bradford, a senior forward from Fayetteville, Ark. "We have struggled a little bit, but we're still a good team. People can say whatever (they) want. But we're having fun."
Despite Kansas rough losses and fifth-place finish in the Big 12 Conference standings, Nick Bradford is enjoying the ride in his final year as a Javahawk.
Bradford was a freshman on that 1996-97 Kansas team that went 34-2 and blitzed through the regular season before coming to a dead halt in an NCAA Tournament loss to Arizona. He's been a part of two Big 12 Conference regular season championships, three
Big 12 Tournament
championships, and
114 wins overall.
"It has been a good ride," Bradford said. "I've played a lot of games here, and we've done a lot of great things. It is crazy that it's coming to an end. We just need to take it in stride, and hopefully we can make a good run and do some things that don't expect us to do."

Terry Nooner
A guy could get used to hearing 16,300 people chant his name in a heartbeat—Terry Nooner has.
in four seasons the Auer Fieldhouse faithful and Nooner built a special bond. Every time the game was in hand—and even some times when it was not—the fans would collectively chant Nooner's name hoping that coach Roy Williams would insert him into the game.
Usually it worked, but once Nooner entered the game, the cheers got louder. Every time Nooner got the ball the fans urged him to shoot it — open or not.
Nooner enjoyed a special connection with Fieldhouse fans
SAM WILSON
Nooner passed the ball because he was content playing what he called "Kansas-type, suburban-type basketball."
Sure, Nooner's had dreams of getting in the game and scoring 30 points or hitting a last second shot. But for him, the real "dream come true" was hearing the fans chant his name.
"I'd like to thank the fans." Nooner said during his Senior Day speech. "Ever since I've been here you guys were yelling 'Terry Nooner.' Without you guys, Kansas basketball wouldn't be what it is."
Nooner, a guard from Raytown, Mo., arrived at Kansas in 1996 as a walk-on. A year later Nooner had his Kansas basketball experience super-sized when he was given a scholarship — on his mother's birthday.
A high school standout, he saw limited playing time at Kansas. His contributions, however, have been anything but limited.
"From the first day until right now, every time a player comes off the court Terry's up to meet them when they come off the court on every occasion because he's only concerned about what's best for Kansas," coach Roy Williams said.

Spring training gets set to kick off
Football players gear up to fight for prized slots
by Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Football spring practice starts Monday, and coach Terry Allen anticipates strong competition among his players, all vying to establish a good impression that will carry into the fall season.
Spring practice gives Allen and his staff a chance to find out what they've got for the fall. Eight junior college transfers can't be here until September, and could change the depth chart. Three of the 11 transfers have enrolled and will be at spring practice. Allen expects most of the 16 incoming freshmen to take a redshirt season.
No practices are scheduled during spring break, but the players will resume practice March 27, and the game will be at 1 p.m. April 15 in Memorial Stadium.
Allen said that he hoped to come out of spring practice two players deep on the depth chart but that he knew that the fall might change those projections.
The defense will face several offensive styles during the fall season, and he wants to have his team in position to recall rather than have to be retraight specific coverages and defensive looks.
Offensively, the Jayhawks need to be able to run the ball as well as take advantage of quarterback Dylen Smith's mobility.
"We'd like to be able to develop the drop-back game with him, but he has so many strengths in the things that he does — getting out of the pocket, running the quarterback draw, running the option play, letting him move in the pocket — that we're certainly
not going to try and temper his ability by keeping him in as a drop-back quarterback," Allen said.

"I'm very excited about them." Smith said. "Last year we did
140
n't have a deep threat (after Fulton's injury). Termaine scored a lot of his touchdowns the year before on post plays, and that's a deep threat. Byron, with his speed, can go deep, so it's going to be excited."
Competition will be tough at almost all positions. Allen said that three offensive linemen John Oddonetto, Justin Hartwig and Marc Owen would be on the field but after that it would be very competitive. Defensive tackle Justin Sands has moved to
offensive tackle, which Allen said was a good move for the team because of his potential to be an effective lineman.
Allen said the development of secondary players also would be critical for the Jayhawks. Starting safeties Carl Nesmith and Kareem High return, as does cornerback Andrew Davison. Matt Jordan has moved back to cornerback, and Jake Letourneau has moved from quarterback to safety.
Allen is trying to arrange an April 1 scrimmage at a place to be announced, possibly Olathe or Topeka.
Asked why, Allen drew a laugh when he said, "For us, it's been an awful long time since we won a road game."
NCAA permission is required, and it's not certain that the game would be allowed.
Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner, whom Allen coached at Northern Iowa, tentatively is scheduled to visit Kansas at a date to be announced.
Jayhawks play steady, earn fifth home win
By Amanda Kashube sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks kept up their solid play yesterday, breezing past Southwest Missouri State, 6-2.
Kansas took three of the four games it played with the Bears this season.
Kansas, 12-5, nailed all facets of its game — senior Rusty Philbrick pitched six strong innings, and gave up only two runs and fanned seven. The offense compiled nine singles and two doubles, adding to the potency of its short game.
"We swung the bats well, both early and late," coach Bobby Randall said. "We were hitting with power — power is hitting doubles. The wind was holding everything in, and they had a good pitcher. It wasn't a home run day."
Designated hitter Brandon Smith came close though — he smashed a ball in the seventh inning that almost made it over the center field wall. Smith settled for a double and an RBI instead.
"Smith almost made it over the monster — he was three-quarters of the way up it," Randall said.
Since the wind held Kansas hits inside the ballpark, the 'Hawks relied on key hits to score base runners. In the three-run seventh inning, sophomore Ryan Klocksien tabulated one of his three RBI on the day when he smacked a single to center field
that scored junior Jesse Gremminger.
"During practices, the coaches have been putting us in RBI situations to see how we can handle it," said Klocksien, who went 2 for 4 yesterday. "It's helped me and the team out a lot."

"We're still finding our swings and our grooves," said Klocksien, who now has a season-high six-game hitting streak. "The home runs will come."
Klocksien's, as well as Greminger's and Smith's, RBI effort in the seventh put the 'Hawks up by three for good. Kansas added one run in the eighth, off a Klocksien single that scored junior Matt Oakes.
While Klocksien was busy racking up the hits, Philbrick (1-1) and senior Ryan Schmidt (4-0) kept the pace on the mound. Schmidt earned the win — relieving Philbrick in the middle of the seventh inning and forcing the Bears to ground into an inning-ending double play.

Philbrick said his confidence was increasing as the season progressed.
"Once you get a couple of starts under your belt, you get your rhythm down," he said. "I've been getting the ball in the box, and that's good. The defense really helped me out."
Defensive snags by outfielders junior Doug Dreher, senior Brett Kappelmann and Gremminger kept Kansas in the game. Bears slugger Ryan Howard came close
to hitting a home run, but the wind kept it in for Dreher in center.
The Hawks will return to Big 12 Conference play on Friday, when they travel to the Lone Star State for the third time this season to play Texas (16-4).

Softball team takes streak confidence on the road
By Rebecca Barlow sports@kansan.com Kansan Sportswriter
The Kansas softball team will hit the road again today to try to extend its six-game winning streak against Missouri-Kansas City.
After winning its home opener 5-0 last Tuesday against Washburn, the 'Hawks want to add another win to their 8-11 record.
A home game was just what the Jayhawks needed to turn things around on both offense and defense. Against Washburn, the Jayhawks were not only error-free but also pounded out eight hits in seven innings. However they won't play at home again until April.
"When we were at home we were comfortable." catcher Heather Sims said. "Everything seemed to go our way."
841-PLAY
1029 Massachusetts
"I don't know if it had to do with playing at home. Things did fall in place," said first baseman Shannon Stanwix. "Hopefully we can build on that."
The Jayhawks road woes were a result of too many errors and difficulties getting hits. Coach Tracy Bunge said the her team's hitting struggles stemmed from not relaxing at the plate — something team members did at home. Now they want that home success to carry into today's game.
"I hope it does," Sims said.
"There is not reason why it shouldn't, we do it everyday."
"They are going to be tough." Stanwix said. "We need to play hard against them. They are definitely a quality team."
The Jayhawks lead the series against the Kangaroos, but a win won't come easy. The team's 0-4 record hides nine returning starters.
Kansas won the last meeting 5-3 between the two-teams at home last April.
The Jayhawks will play a doubleheader today at Adair Park in Kansas City, Mo. The first game will begin at 4 p.m. The second game is tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m.

Tigers' Zaun joins Royals as team's eighth catcher
UNEDN, Fla. — Catcher Gregg Zaun was traded to the Kansas City Royals from the Detroit Tigers yesterday.
Zaun, 28, spent last season with the Texas Rangers as the backup to Ivan Rodriguez. He was obtained by the Tigers in the nine-player trade that sent Juan Gonzalez to Detroit.
The 5-foot-10-inch, 190-pound catcher hit .247 with one home run and 12 RBI in 43 games for the Rangers. His best season was in 1997 with the Florida Marlins when he hit .301 with 20 RBI in 58 games

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Oklahoma State and Nebraska each won games yesterday in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Women's Basketball Tournament, allowing to advance to second-round play.
Chantoya Hawkins scored 23 points yesterday as ninth-seeded Oklahoma State (14-15) beat Kansas State 67-59. The Cowgirls will play No. 10 Iowa State, the top seed, at noon tomorrow. Toya Releford added 17 points, and Jessica Bates had 12 for Oklahoma State.
Casey Leonhardt scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to help Nebraska beat Baylor 82-61. The Sooners (17-11) will face the fourth-seeded Jawahres tomorrow.

iowa State's Eustachy earns coaching honor
AMES, Iowa — Larry Eustachy's second season as Iowa State's men's basketball coach was more than a surprise. It was absolutely stunning.
Eustachy was the unanimous choice as The Associated Press Big 12 coach of the year after taking a team picked to finish no higher than sixth and guiding it to the school's first conference championship in 55 years.
The undersized, shorthanded Cyclones finished 14-2 in the league and are 26-4 overall, a school record for victories and a dramatic turnaround from the 15-15 mark the Cyclones posted last season.
Never before had Iowa State made so much improvement from one season to the next.
"The reason I was named coach of the year was because we have good players," Eustachy said.
Wyoming coach says for now he'll stay put
LARAMIE, Wyo. — Wyoming coach Steve McClain, who has been rumored in line for other coaching jobs, hinted that moving was not in his plans right now.
“You'd probably be a little foolish to leave a team that’s going to have a chance to be a top 25 team a year from now,” he said. “So if that gives you a hint, I think that's the best I can do.”
McClain had been mentioned as a candidate at Kansas State, Nebraska, Texas Christian and Georgia even though none of those schools have openings.
State in the first round of the league tournament in Las Vegas Thursday. The Cowboys are looking to make the NIT tournament for the third straight season.

Coach Tom Asbury's job at Kansas State is thought to be most likely to open first. McClain was head coach at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas from 1991-94.

McSorley's stick attack to be reviewed in court
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Marty McSorley of the Boston Bruins must now answer in a Canadian court for his vicious stick attack on Donald Brashear of the Vancouver Canucks.
McSorley — one of the league's tough guys — was ordered yesterday to appear in court April 4 on one count of assault with a weapon for his Feb. 21 attack.
ne plans to plead innocent, his lawyer said. If convicted, McSorley could face a maximum of 18 months in jail.
"I'm disappointed," McSorley said. "I'm disappointed it's going to court because I don't know if anybody really knows right now how much I've already lost."
The 36-year-old defenseman was suspended by the NHL for the rest of the season in the league's harshest penalty ever for an on-ice infraction. He must meet with commissioner Gary Bettman before the league will consider letting him play again.
"I've been in contact with a very good lawyer in Vancouver and we were trying to not have it go to court," McSorley said. His suspension will cost him an estimated $72,000 in salary.
Geoff Gaul, a spokesman for the British Columbia criminal justice branch, said the decision to charge McSorley was made after a prosecutor's review and a police investigation
His Vancouver lawyer, Bill Smart, said he hoped for a trial date in late summer or early fall.
The NHL was displeased with the move but said it would fully cooperate with Canadian authorities.
Chiefs allocate players to compete in Europe
NFL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Brian Shay, college football's all-time leading rusher, will spend his summer playing in Europe for the Berlin Thunder.
The Kansas City Chiefs announced yesterday that Shay and former Kansas linebacker Jason Thoren were among 11 players the team allocated to NFL Europe for the 2000 season, which begins April 15. Thoren graduated from Kansas last semester. Thoren will play for the Berlin
Thoren will play for the Berlin Thunder.
Shay went undrafted out of Division II Emporia State, despite setting NCAA records with 6,958 vards and 88 touchdowns.
Considered undersized for the NFL at 5-foot-8-inches, 213 pounds, the Paola native was signed as a rookie free agent by the Chiefs and spent five weeks on the team's five-man practice squad before being cut.
The Chiefs also sent quarterbacks Ted White, Bill Lindquist and Marcus Crandell to play in the European league. White and Lindquist were allocated to the Frankfurt Galaxy, and Crandell will join the Scottish Claymores
The other allocated players are fullback Vershан Jackson (Berlin), centers Grant Garrett and Brian Waters (Berlin), guard Rob Murphy (Frankfurt), cornerback Ray Jackson (Amsterdam) and punter Nick Gallery (Frankfurt).

Women's tennis ready for struggling rival
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The conference season continues for the Kansas women's tennis team when members take on rival Missouri today at noon.
The team brought its record to 7-2 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12 with a win against Texas Tech Sunday. The Hawks won the meet 8-1, losing only the doubles match at the No. 1 position.
And the season's two setbacks — losses to nonconference opponents No. 33 Ohio State and No. 61 Tulsa, — are the season's only negative aspects.
After the loss to Tulsa, coach Jenny Garrity said it would have been easy for Kansas to have a letdown in doubles, but the team didn't.
"They did a good job of coming out and sweeping the doubles, and getting the three singles that we needed to get five points." Garrity said.
Missouri has taken the opposite road. The Tigers barely avoided a sweep by the state of Texas after beating Texas Tech 5-4 in Columbia, Mo., Saturday. The win improved the team's overall record to 3-8, and gave the Tigers their first
Except for the meets against the Buckeyes and the Golden Hurricane, the Jayhawks have pounded every opponent.
conference win in five meets.
Colorado, Baylor, Texas A&M and Texas hammered Missouri in the team's first four conference meets, as the Tigers won a combined four matches in four conference losses.
Although Missouri has had little success this season, Garrity said the win against Texas Tech gave them momentum heading into today's match.
"They are going to be very confident, and they are always up to play us," Garrity said.
The Jayhawks are 21-2 against Missouri, and the Tigers haven't won a meet in the series since 1981.
Garrity said that her players would be focused for the meet and that the rivalry was as intense as it was in any other sport, despite the 18 straight wins.
But senior Brooke Chiller disagreed with Garrity about the rivalry's intensity. She said that the intensity wasn't as high as basketball or football because the competition wasn't as high.
Even with the rivalry having lost some of its luster, Chiller said that she had no intention of losing to the Tigers for the first time in her career.
"I don't want to lose to anybody, but I'd rather beat Missouri above anyone else," she said.

Women's team begins championship quests today against 'Huskers
By Chris Fickett

Kansan sportswriter
Marian Washington can't help it.
No matter how hard she tries, Washington, who's in her 27th season as the Jayhawks women's basketball coach, can't hold back her emotions on Senior Night.
But with a possibility of nine games remaining, Washington has a chance to hold on to her senior class a little bit longer.
"We have to obviously lengthen our time with them through a run in Kansas City and then hopefully a run in the tournament," she said after the Jayhawks 71-60 victory against Texas A&M last Wednesday.
Starting today, when the fourth-seeded Kansas women open Big 12 tournament play against Nebraska, seniors Lymn
Of course, Pride, who's chasing All-American honors, and Raymant, who's one of Kansas' most prolific three-point shooters of all time, have tallied numerous individual honors.
But there are two other players in their final seasons, who, although they aren't big contributors in terms of points, touch their coach in another way.
But that doesn't mean Prütt doesn't play an important role on the team.
Pride and Suzi Raymant will start their quest for career-ending championships
Casey Prutt is a fourth-year junior who has been hampered by four knee surgeries during her Kansas career. Prutt was a redshirt her freshman year because of one of those surgeries and decided last week to forego his senior season.
"What she represents right now is, for me anyway, in inspiration." Washington said. "You have to admire someone who has so much love to be willing to go under the knife that many times. She might not always play a lot, but I watched Casey go through all the experiences she's had, and there has to be something about the game that she truly loves."
When center Heather Fletcher came to
Kansas, she had trouble matching up against the bigger players in the league. Now as a senior, Fletcher is one of Washington's key defensive post players.
"Heather has always been a player that's willing to put in the extra time," she said. "I think she's made tremendous improvement."
The hard work and improvement all four players have made during their years at Kansas paid off in their Senior Night victory.
But they realize that night wasn't the end of the season. They still would like to give their coach a senior gift of sorts.
"It would be special to go to the Final Four this year because it is in Coach Washington's home town," Pruitt said. "She could play in front of her home crowd and her mom."
And even if Kansas can't reach that goal, Washington feels that Pride gave Jayhawk supporters a special home send-off.
"It was very nice to see her play well this last game at home," she said. "Our fans are so good, they've enjoyed a lot of wins here. To have Lynn go out and finish nicely with some reverse layups — that's nice."
Lvnn Pride
During her senior season at Sam Houston High School, Lynn Pride's home in Arlington, Texas, resembles a summit of women's basketball superpowers. Lori Levine Tech, Texas Tech, and Georgia
Tennessee, Louisiana Tech, Texas Tech and Georgia had already made their visits to Pride — who was one of the top five high school players in the country.
But Kansas coach Marian Washington made the final visit.
"I remember her mother said to me, 'You're pretty gutsy coming in here after Tennessee,' she said. "I spent my time talking about our program, and her mother really felt she sensed something about me that she liked."
Pride and her mother are very close, and she said that it meant a lot for her that her mother was able to watch her play on Senior Night last week. That closeness certainly had a lot of effect on Pride's decision to attend Kansas.
"Mrs. Pride became my
biggest ally during the recruiting process," Washington said, "She enjoyed talking to me."
In her senior season at Kansas, Pride faces a situation similar to the one she faced five years ago. But as WNBA scouts watch her play, Pride remains level-headed about the attention.
"Lynn shies away from talking about it, but she won't be able to shy away from it much longer," Washington said.

Suzi Raymant
Senior guard Suzi Raymant played in several Australian basketball leagues before she came to Kansas.
Maybe that's why Raymant wants to pursue a coaching career rather than take her chances in the WNBA.
Rayman, 25, graduated high school in 1993 and then played in Australia's Women's National Basketball League. Continental
Basketball League and the Victorian Basketball Association. Raymant joined the Jayhawks in 1995 the last season of the Big Eight Conference. She sat out last season as a medical redshirt because of an anterior cruciate ligament tear in her left knee.
Although Raymant is very intelligent and has a lot of basketball experience, Washington isn't sure how her soft-spoken style will translate as good.
11
"It will be interesting. Suzi's easy-going way I had to struggle with defensively; I loved it offensively because she stayed so cool. But when she plays defense, she's so smart; she's very effective." Washington said.

Heather Fletcher
Heather Fletcher wasn't in the spotlight on Senior Night, but she picked a more important game to shine.
Kansas was battling with No. 10 Iowa State at Ames, Iowa, where the Jayhawks didn't win since 1997. With 2:50 left in the game and Kansas up by 11, Lynn Pride fouled out. With 2:22 left, Suzi Raymant picked up her fourth foul and Jennifer Jackson also had four fouls.
After a three-pointer by Iowa State's Desiree
cut to seven.
Kansas struggled on its next offensive possession, but Fletcher grabbed an offensive rebound and was fouled. On another trip down the court, Fletter's second offensive board helped Kansas kill some clock against the Cyclones.
After the game ended, Fletcher was thir
After the game ended, Fletcher was the first Jayhawk at center court, screaming in joy with the rest of her teammates.
Fletcher
Washington has said that Fletcher's defense has improved since she arrived at Kansas four years ago. Washington had wanted Fletcher to be a redshirt her freshman year, but Fletcher's education major requires a year of student-teaching and she would be teaching away from the University in her fifth year.
"When I think about her now, and if she had another year, I think that she might not only be playing great defense but I think we could rely on her to score consistently," she said.
Casey Pruitt

Pruitt
Casey Pruitt could have called it quits before this season. But she wanted to play.
"There was a question mark as to whether she would even come back this year, but she wanted to. I really feel that she was comfortable in her decision, which is good." Washington said.
Pruitt, who has had four knee surgeries in the past four years, has worked hard to regain the ability she brought to Kansas from Jonesboro High School in Arkansas. Washington says that Pruitt's work ethic is an inspiration.
"When she was in high school, Casey was every bit the player we thought - she had great range, she was quick, she handled the ball really well." Washington
ly well," Washington really hurt her a lot."
said. "I think that knee really hurt her a lot. Pruitt has played in 21 games this year, including a start on Senior Night. Although Pruitt was playing against a quick group of Texas A&M guards, she didn't back down.
"That's what she's been working to get back that competitive edge," Washington said. "She tell you that she's her own worst critic. She's harder on herself than anyone could ever be."

Freshman guard has chance to step up once again
By Chris Ficket
By Chris Fickell sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The 1,500 fans at Allen Fieldhouse last Wednesday night did not see anything new from Kristen Mav.
May, a 5-foot-8 inch freshman from Kansas City, Kan., played 19 minutes in the Jahawkens' 71-60 Senior Night victory against Texas A&M. Although she had only averaged three minutes a game in 12 appearances this season, May stepped in last Wednesday and made two assists and three steals against the Aggies.
"I'm sure I surprised some people, but the people who know me weren't — they were proud of me," she said. "But this is the way I play."
And because she plays for Kansas, defense is the key to her style.
Soon after she was inserted into the Jayhawk lineup replacing unofficial intensity leader Jennifer Jackson, May pressured Texas A&M's Brandy Jones, poked the ball
between Jones' legs, collected the loose ball and made a beeline for the basket.
"That's a big part of my game — defense and stealing the ball," she said. "I've been doing it in practice, but I haven't had a chance to do it in a game."
Coach Marian Washington was the one who gave May that chance. Washington's philosophy about playing time starts with practice.
"I watch them," she said. "I watch them very closely. I tell them: 'If you want to play you have to convince me in practice.' And I've really been pleased with her effort in practice."
Another factor leading to Washington's decision stemmed from the health of guards Jackson and Solena Scott. Jackson, a junior, underwent ankle surgery earlier this season and Scott, a sophomore, was still allied after hitting the floor during the Hawks previous game, an 88-69 defeat at Oklahoma on Feb. 26.
So Washington gave May, who turned 18 on Feb. 23, the majority of playing time at the backup point guard position.
But it was a good thing May did not know about her coach's decision until she was sitting on the bench during the game.
"Actually I'm glad that she didn't because it's such a big night." May said. "I really think that when I focus that nothing can take me out of my game. I think putting me on the spot really helped me to focus and be ready."
And although she did not contribute big in terms of points — she scored two of her season total of eight — her energy level matched that of the starters and helped Kansas maintain its defensive presence.
"That just helps," she said. "It keeps us really strong in terms of pressure early. For Kristen and Selena, their job is to extend that defense for us because Jennifer plays so many minutes — plus her ankle, we have to be very careful. But when those two come in, we really want them to step up their defense."
Washington said that aspect of May's game would help the team's depth as it started Big 12 tournament play today against Nebraska.
Despite May's age. Washington's only concern is finding players who can give her starters a rest.
"When I see (May) going after it in practice, I know that I have both Selena and Kristen May in a position where they can give us some more help, and we need that," she said.
May is content with that role. And she does not have a problem handling the load — especially in big situations.
May got into the game against Oklahoma, but she did not back down against the Sooners' starters, including All-Big 12 first-tier member Phylehsa Whaley.
May played tough on defense, making one steal, and took care of the ball on offense, committing zero turnovers.
"She got a little bit of time in Oklahoma, and she hung in there and did a pretty good job." Washington said.
And then there was the Senior Night surprise.
"I just felt like I went out there and did what I needed to do," May said. "I think that's the most important thing. The seniors wanted to have a great game, and they called on me to
After slipping on the fieldhouse floor trying to defend the Aggies' Tina Jones, May sprung up and was able to tip Jones' pass. Kansas senior Lynn Pride collected the loose ball and tossed it to May, who pushed it into the open court. May led a three-on-one break and dished to junior Brooke Reves, who made a layup.
The play instigated a standing ovation from the fieldhouse crowd.
"My main thought would have to be 'showtime'," she said. "I love fast breaks."
But in another play that night, May went a step beyond just filling in. She went back to her days at Lincoln College Prep in Kansas City, Mo., where she led the team in assists in each of her four years.
And although Municipal Auditorium, site of the Big 12 Conference tournament, is not home to Magic Johnson and the Lakers' fastbreak offense, May might have an opportunity to steal the spotlight this week.

Our fantasy Big 12 Tournament
FOOTBALL

iowa State's inside force of Marcus Fizer ('00) and Kelvin Cato '97) dominated the hapless Aggies. The Cyclones started the game on a 15-1 run including 10 straight points from Fizer. He finished with 34 points, and Cato chipped in 13 points, 18 rebounds and 6 blocks. ISU 94, A&M 60

A classic battle of the big men with Nebraska's Venson Hamilton ('99) and Tech's Tony Battie ('97) was ultimately decided by the littlest guy on the court.

Hamilton didn't have enough for two stellar games in a row — especially not against Kansas' Scot Pollard ( '97 ) and RaeFLaFrentz ( '98 ). But it was Jayhawks' forward Paul Pierce ( '98 ) who stole the show, scoring 31 points, while point guard Jacque Vaughn ( '97 ) dished out 22 assists. KU 89 ,NU 70
Let's have some fun. The Kansan analyzed the last four years of the Big 12 to determine our fantasy All-Time Big 12 Tournament. We considered any player who played in the Big 12. Great teams, individual performances and reputations were taken into consideration — thus accounting for Marcus Fizer's dominance. We listed players by the last year of their career, and team records were taken from overall conference standings during the last four years. We may have been a little biased in the outcome, but hey, we can do that.

Kansas seemed to have the game in control, but Willoughby's dunk and free throw, followed by point guard Jacy Holloway's (97) half-court bank-shot at the buzzer sent the game into overtime.

Let's face it — Kansas is 52-12 in the four years that the Big 12 Conference has existed and has had three All Americans since then. Kris Clack ('98), Milhm, Freeman and couldn't stop Kansas in real life, so why would they in a mock tournament?

Men need not apply
Landlord admits to discrimination
By Dan Curry and Heather Woodward writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writers
Posted on a hallway door inside the apartment complex at 1530 Tennessee St., a green sign proclaims that owner Leland Lemensany does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, age or sex.
The sign is wrong.
At $365 a month, the price isn't bad for just being down the hill from the University of Kansas campus. The rooms are nice.
But no men need apply.
"I have right to discriminate," Lemensany said. "My blood and sweat is in this building."
Lemensany, who lives at the complex, is the only male resident. The other apartment is empty.
And no cooking with garlic, according to the lease.
"I know who I get along with," said Lemensany, who rents 17 apartments in his 19-unit complex to women. "I get along with females."
At least seven women have either departed or plan to leave 1530 Tennessee St. because of problems with Lemensany, they said.
"I'm not going to live here anymore," said Emily Mamalis, Prairie Village junior.
Mamalis and the other tenants all claim that Lemensany pressured them not to have their bovfriends visit.
"I'd been there like 10 days when he started talking to me about deadbeat boyfriends," Malamis said.
Lemensany's lease states that no guest or combination of guests may stay for more than five days or nights per month.
It also spells out Lemensany's right "to refuse to rent to anyone who has a friend already living in the apartment," and forbids cooking with garlic.
"He told me he was going to call the cops on me for using garlic," said Karmel Davis, a former tenant and 1995 KU graduate. "That's when I got a lawyer involved."
Besides cooking with garlic, Davis said that in protest of the garlic ban she had placed garlic cloves in the hallway plug-in air fresheners.
Davis and Lemensany mutually terminated the lease, and Lemensany gave back her full deposit.
Discriminating on the basis of sex is prohibited by the Lawrence Housing/Real Properties Practices and Kansas Fair Housing Act.

the building.
If a complaint were filed against Lemensany to the Lawrence human relations department, the human relations commission would conduct an investigation into the matter, said Toni Wheeler, a Lawrence human relations specialist. If the allegations were found to be true, the landlord could face a fine up to $10,000 for a first offense.
Lemensany said that he had rented to men in the past, but they had not taken care of the apartments the way he wanted.
"I do have rooms I let males live in," Lemensany said. "They're not as nice as the ones I let women live in."
At present, those rooms are occupied with women anyway, he said.
"I don't discriminate," Lemensany said. "Not 100 percent, 80 percent probably."
Lemensany said he wants to keep his apartments nice and the conditions quiet at his complex, so that he and his tenants would have a pleasant place to live.
"My tenants love it here," he said. "It's a safe, quiet place."

If you long for a cup, some stimulating conversation or simply a little relaxation today, the Kansas Union is the place to be.
Every 3 to 5 p.m. every Thursday, the Union's Traditions Area on the fourth floor serves finger foods and different varieties of tea. But this is not a high society tea salon where the pinky fingers of the well-dressed elite are raised high and cups are sipped with a certain elegance. Most of the attendants wear jeans.
Susan Elkins, assistant director of organizations and leadership and organizer of the event, began the teas this semester as a way to bring the University community together.
"There's a snootiness that is usually associated with tea, but this is a very warm Kansas tea gathering where everyone is welcome." Elkins said.
Larkins said she got the idea for the Union teas from attending evening teas when she was a student at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. She said the evening teas always were polite and fostered stimulating discussion. She said the afternoon teas at the Union provided a similar atmosphere.
"I thought the Union would be

the perfect place for students, faculty and staff to get together and be comfortable and to interact on a more social level." Elkins said. "People are at their best when drinking tea."
Elkins said local businesses such as Brits, 732 Massachusetts St., and The Bay Leaf, 725 Massachusetts St., have provided teas for the event, and finger foods and desserts have been courtesy of the Kansas Union Food Service.
Gunda Hiebert, co-owner of The Bay Leaf, said they were happy to provide the tea for the first month of the event.
"We thought it was a very lovely thing to do," Heibert said. "We got some really nice feedback from faculty and students. Not only did they like the idea of having tea, they liked our tea."
For those who don't like tea, Elkins said lemonade or hot chocolate usually was provided.
Elkins said that more than 100
people stop by to sip each week. And the news has been spreading, both on campus and beyond the University's borders. Elkins said her husband, Jack Weinrock, whom she met at a similar gathering at the University of Michigan, received an e-mail last week from Harvard University commending the afternoon teas.
Now in its fifth week, the teas already have attracted a diverse group of regulars.
"I come here every week," said Jack Anderson, Lawrence junior. "I'm a really big fan of tea."
Anderson said he came to the tea gatherings to further his knowledge about tea.
"Americans have a really developed sense of coffee but a very underdeveloped sense of tea," he said. "This place is great because it educates people and expands their culinary horizons."
Jenna Coker, office supervisor for organizations and leadership, said she came every week for the fine art of conversation.
"This is a dying art," Coker said during last week's tea. "People don't sit down face to face and communicate verbally anymore. To go into a room full of total strangers and have conversations rarely happens these days."
As Coker sipped her tea, a man whom she did not know sat down across from her. She immediately greeted him, and they began to talk.
"See what I mean?" Coker said.
Bill asks for outside agency to study race as a factor in traffic stops

Reps. Jonathan Wells, D-Wichita, and David Haley, D-Kansas City, said they both had been stopped by law enforcement for DWB — Driving While Black.
"I hate to think this," Wells said.
"Because I'm not a negative thinker."
But Wells testified to the House Judiciary Committee that he had been stopped by police three times in Topeka because he was a Black American

"We're not saying it happens in Kansas," Wells said. "We want to see if police are doing it."
But Wells, a retired high school principal, said his own experiences didn't mean a statewide problem existed.
Haley said that racial profiling was happening elsewhere and that his own

experiences as a African American didn't suggest that Kansas was an exception.
Haley, a real estate attorney, said he didn't know how many times he had been stopped for alleged traffic violations.
The American Civil Liberties Union reports that it's not uncommon for minority drivers to avoid certain neighborhoods or even plan extra time for being stopped when taking long trips.
Although Haley said he cared when police stopped him because of his race, Wells somewhat accented it.
"I don't care about them stopping me."
Wells said.
But determining whether police target minorities can be difficult, said Roscoe Howard Jr., professor of law.
"I do care," Haley replied. "It detains me for no reason and puts me at a disadvantage."
But Haley said that the discussion itself might be the start of the solution.
"If certain groups are being targeted and pulled over, the state needs to know," he said. "One of the problems is that people say it is not a problem."
As long as police think that they observe even a minor traffic violation, the Supreme Court says it won't consider other motives for making the stop, Howard said.
"The beauty of the entire debate has been that law enforcement in Kansas and nationwide begin to realize that society wants neutral reasons for traffic and pedestrian stops," Haley said. "We're trying to make a race, age- and gender-neutral society."

but was not seriously injured.
But he has been issued a pedestrian in the roadway citation, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office. Yesterday Bailey did not find a citation for the car's driver in police records.
Preno said he was doing pretty well, but his knee and head hurt.
Andrew Lonas, Caldwell junior and the driver of the car, said Monday that Preno ran in front of him.
"I have eight staples in my head," he said, referring to staples used to close a wound be suffered.
And now he has a jawwalking citation.
Preno said he was upset that he was cited because many students cross 15th Street where he was hit. He said he thought it would be a good idea to put in a crosswalk.

Taco Bell robbed; police offer profiles
Two fast food restaurant employees were threatened with a rifle during an early morning robbery Tuesday.
Sgt. George Wheeler of Lawrence police said that no shots were fired and no one was injured in the robbery at Taco Bell, 1220 W. 6th St., but that two suspects took an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police responded to an alarm from the restaurant at 2:49 a.m. Wheeler said. When officers arrived, a restaurant employee said the store had just
been robbed by two men with shirts wrapped around their faces, Wheeler said.
Wheeler said the two suspects gained access to the store, which was closed to customers, through the back door. One of the two employees in the store went to the back door to take out the trash. When he opened the door, the two men were standing there, Wheeler said. One of the suspects pointed a gun at the employee and demanded money.
The suspects forced their way in, took the cash and left through the back door, Wheeler said. The employees said they did not see the suspects leave.
The first suspect is described as an 18- to 20-year-old African-American male, $6'2$, 175 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, Wheeler said. He was reportedly wearing a khaki shirt, blue jeans and black boots.
The second suspect is described as an 18- to 20-year African-American male, 5'9", 140-150 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He was reportedly wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans.
Wheeler said police had not identified any suspects.

NATION Multimillionaire bride files for annulment
LAS VEGAS — TV's instant bride has filed for an annulment, saying that her quickie marriage to a multimillionaire was a fraud and that he never mentioned he had a history of problems with women.
Darva Conger said in court papers filed Tuesday that the marriage was never consummated and she and Rick Rockwell barely saw each other on their Caribbean honeymoon.
"Neither the contestants nor the show's producers seriously contemplated creating a proper marriage," she said.
Rockwell, 42, selected Conger, 34, from among 50 contestants on the Fox TV special Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire. They married on the spot in Las Vegas during the Feb. 15 show, with more than 22 million viewers tuned in.

Women's Day invokes protests, marches
GENEVA — From masked prostitutes demonstrating in London's red light district to female activists arguing in a Kuwait courtroom for the right to vote, women marked International Women's Day yesterday mostly by taking stock of the poverty, violence and inequality that continues to afflict them.
Buggies, balloons and symbolic clotheslines filled the square in front of the U.N. European headquarters in Geneva, where about 2,000 women participated in a colorful procession that officially began the "World March of Women 2000." Some 3,500 local groups in 145 countries are expected to take part in different stages of the march, which will culminate in New York in October.
A group of male construction workers watched as women passed by holding a symbolic clothesline with "Stop housework" painted on a pair of trousers.
"Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them," read one banner held by Lisa Dempsey, an Illinois native living in Geneva.

Cars burglarized in GSP-Corbin lot
By Sara Shepherd
Kansan staff writer
Alana Lea, Eden Prairie, Minn., freshman, was awakened abruptly about 5 a.m. Monday by a phone call from the police, informing her that her car had been broken into.
Lea walked out of Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall to where her car was parked and found one of her car windows shattered and her CD player gone, along with about 60 CDs, she said.
But Lea's CD player was just one of the casualties in Lot 111 that night.
An estimated $1,310 worth of damage was done to eight vehicles in a bundle of burglaries between 6 p.m. Sunday and 5:30 p.m. Monday in the GSP-Corbin Hall parking lot.
Five CD players and nearly 300 CDs — valued at a total of $8,821 — were stolen from the vehicles.
According to an arrest report, a KU Public Safety officer patrolling the area saw someone breaking into vehicles in Lot 111 around 2:40 a.m. Sunday. However, the suspect fled and escaped on foot.
Several hours later, another officer stopped a 16-year-old Topeka boy with a description similar to that of the suspect. The boy reportedly was involved with the burglaries but was not the same one spotted earlier.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey said the boy was arrested for violating the 11 p.m. city curfew and obstruction of legal process by giving an officer false information.
The boy, who was taken into custody and later released to his mother, is under investigation for being involved in the string of auto burglaries, Bailey said.
According to Public Safety Office records, 27 burglaries, three thefts and one instance of criminal damage was reported in Lot 111 last year.
Alicia Vorba's car was also broken into — her CD player and some CDs were stolen.
"It's supposed to be a patrolled area," said Vorba, Tulsa, Okla., freshman. "I don't think it should happen."
Bailey said officers were encouraged to check out parking lots regularly.
Bailey said the best way to prevent auto theft was to not leave anything in plain view that was worth stealing.
"Take your expensive stuff out if at all possible," he said. "Just don't leave it in there."

"It's part of their jobs to patrol the lots, but there's no set schedule," Bailey said. "They go through the parking lots in their districts as frequently as possible."

Animal activists claim milk does a student body no good
By Mindie Miller

Kanson staff writer
A national animal rights organization wants college students to trade their milk moostaches for beer foam brewstaches.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, based in Norfolk, Va., is staging a national campaign to convince college students that beer is healthier than milk. The organization backs up its claims with nutritional statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which show that milk contains more cholesterol, fat, calories and sodium than beer.
In support of popping a top instead of opening a carton of milk, PETA is giving away bottle openers that say, "Drinking responsibly means not drinking milk — save a cow's life," to college students who visit www.MilkSucks.com.
Morgan Leyh, PETA's college action campaign coordinator, said the Web site had received about 15,000 hits per week since its inception a few weeks ago.
But Ann Chapman, nutritionist at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said she thought it was dangerous to encourage college students to drink beer instead of milk.
"Binge drinking is on the increase," she said. "And dairy product intake is low as it is. College women are not getting near the calcium they need, and
their bone health is at risk."
Sarah Roads, Moberly, Mo,
senior, drinks skim milk. She
said this campaign wouldn't
make her stop.
"I find it hard to believe that they think people will actually believe them," she said.
Leyh said PETA's ultimate goal was to prevent cruelty to dairy cows.
"They're claiming beer doesn't have any bad things," she said. "You could counteract that by saying, 'What does it have that is any good?'"
"The milk industry today is really feeding students a lot of lies," she said. "We want to educate students that today's dairy cows are treated like nothing more than milk machines."
Leyh said dairy cows were chained by their necks in concrete stalls and kept pregnant year-round to keep their milk production high. Their male calves are taken from them at one to two days old and chained inside cramped dark crates to be killed for veal, she said.
Leyh said PETA wanted to let students know that dairy products were unhealthy for humans.
"Products like cheese, ice cream and yogurt are high in saturated fat and cholesterol."
Morgan Leyh PETA coordinator
"The milk industry today is really feeding students a lot of lies."
However, Chapman noted that low-fat alternatives were available, which could provide essential nutrients with little risk of obesity or heart disease.
she said. "It sets people up for obesity and heart disease."
PETA's campaign also stresses to students that dairy products are often contaminated with pesticides and drugs and that they may even cause osteoporosis because the excess protein in dairy products leaches calcium from the bones.
However, Chapman said the hormones and antibiotics used in dairy products were present only in trace amounts to achieve the results of getting rid of contamination in the product. She also said that a person would have to consume an excessive amount of dairy products before the protein would pull calcium from bones. She said high-protein fad diets put people at risk for this problem.
Senate rejects elimination of nonrevenue sports fee
Leyh said that although PETA wants students to know that beer is healthier than milk, the organization recommends fresh juices, soy milk and mineral water — even soda — instead of milk or beer.

Women and men in nonrevenue sports don't have to worry about potential budget cuts anymore.
A resolution to phase out the student fee for women's and nonrevenue sports that was drafted by Korb Maxwell, student body president, failed in two Student Senate committees last night.
Maxwell argued the $20 per semester fee paid to the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation was unnecessary when KUAC had surpluses in its budget.
"Any other department in the University would kill for that kind of increase," Maxwell said. "We wouldn't have a faculty salary problem. We wouldn't have a tuition increase."
Pat Warren, assistant director for KUAC, said that the revenue numbers did not represent all costs the corporation had.
"We would do everything possible not to harm women's and non-

revenue sports, but the surplus would not be enough to compensate." Warren said.
The subcommittee voted against a phasing out of the fee.
Risa Petty, social welfare senator and women's rowing team captain, said sports were invaluable to the athletes who participate.
Maxwell: Proposed phasing out the $20 per semester fee
"From being on the inside, I'm extremely grateful it's been added." Petty said.
Michael Henry, nontraditional senator, said it was important to remember the fee affected 587 student athletes.
"My concern is we are offering to cut $20, but not a $17 activity fee," Henry said.
Partha Mazumdar, graduate senator, defended Maxwell's plan. He said the beauty of the bill was that
the fee would decrease slowly and that it would be reviewed by the subcommittee in three years.

Students take Western Civ elsewhere
By Meghann Haven Special to the Kansan
Before World War II, a course in western civilization was unheard of. Today, it's widely regarded as one of the most challenging classes a college student faces.
The same holds true at the University of Kansas, where many students travel considerable distances looking for alternatives to taking Western Civilization at the university level.
Jim Leiker, lecturer in humanities and western civilization, said that he was aware of KU students taking Western Civilization at community colleges and elsewhere but that the courses may not be the same.
"Most universities offer something along the lines of Western Civ," he said. "But many are basic history courses, whereas KU's is a great books program that combines history with literature and philosophy."
Students often delay the inevitable until their senior year, or take Western Civilization during summer school. Some even drive to schools a half hour or more away two to three times a week, just to avoid taking the course at the University.
"Johnson County Community College attracts lots of KU students about the second week of class each semester as KU students realize how strenuous the work load is," Leiker said. "But JuCo's program is modeled on KU's. In fact, I know most schools in this area hire KU GTAs to teach their Western Civ classes. So my perception is that shopping around doesn't lighten the work load or grading that much."
If a student does have time to commute to another university to take a similar course, another obstacle must be overcome.
According to Lisa Beck, transfer credit coordinator, the University must review the outside class to make sure it meets the standards and requirements set for that course before credit can be given.
Cara Schwegler, Overland Park junior, is enrolled in the World Civilizations I and II class at Neohsow County Community College in Ottawa. The class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays for two hours and 45 minutes.
World Civilizations I and II is worth six credit hours and replaces Western Civilization I and II at the University — in one semester's time. Neosho County Community College has an open admission policy and tuition is $42 per credit hour — $252 for this course, which is offered every semester because of its popularity.
"I do have to drive a total of about an hour and a half every week just to get to the class, but I think it is totally worth它." Schwegler said. "My roommate is taking Western Civ here right now, and while she reads entire books, we read only a paragraph excerpt in class. We don't even have any books besides the textbook, and we hardly ever have homework."
Despite the lighter work load in her course, Schwegler doesn't feel as though she is really missing out on anything.
"We are learning the same stuff. Our classes are just more fun and laid-back," she said.
Wayne Walden, director of degree and career counsel in the Athletics Department, agrees.
"I have a low regard for students who shirk from difficult classes because of an extensive work load."
Jim Leiker
Lecturer in western civilization
"Certain courses I would prefer students take here, especially those relating to their major and that would help them down the road," he said. "However, Western Civ is not a course I feel is of huge importance if you are a liberal arts and sciences major."
Leiker disagreed.
"I have a low regard for students who shirk from difficult classes because of an extensive work load," he said. "Nothing is learned without hard work and experience."
Benton Kelly. St. Louis senior, doesn't understand the practice of searching elsewhere for an easy way out.
"You know, it's not a death class," she said. "I don't understand why people take the time to drive so far. As long as you take it as an upper-classman, you should do fine."
For some students, the long-standing rumor that Western Civilization is the hardest course at the University will always be true, and they are bound and determined to find an easier way out.
Leiker offered this admonition for these students.
"If higher education was supposed to be easy, we would sell diplomas in the Union," he said. "Ultimately, it's not about the grade or the certificate with your name on it but about what students learn."
KU senior wins valid scholarship; 39 students falsely informed of honor
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Thirty-nine students were told last month they had won prestigious government scholarships for graduate study, only to find out later that it was all a big mistake and they were only runners-up.
Lawrence senior Brian Tongier's Javits scholarship, though, was not one of the mistakes. The University of Kansas student was notified last month that he had won a Javits scholarship. Tongier said he was one of the real winners. Others were not so lucky.
"I think my heart snapped in half," a California doctoral candidate wrote her congressional delegation in a plea for help.
Help came yesterday when the Education Department called the runners-up and said they would get the fellowships after all, as would the rightful winners.
"We were working at first to find out what happened and why an error occurred," said Erica Lepping, Education Department representative. "After reviewing that, we came to the conclusion this was the right thing to do."
At stake were the prestigious Jacob K. Javits Fellowships, which have been awarded since 1986. Named for the late liberal Republican senator from New York, the fellowships pay tuition and fees plus a stipend for doctoral and masters candidates in the arts, humanities and social sciences. Current stipends are $15,000 a year.
Lepping said the mistake was discovered when a runner-up, officially called an alternate, called the agency with a question.
It will cost taxpayers close to $1 million to fix the error, which the government is blaming on a private contractor that sent the wrong letters.
Tongier said he planned to use the scholarship to pursue a doctorate in sociology at Indiana. Princeton or UCLA.
The winners are selected on merit and financial need and get up to four years of financial support. Some 1,100 to 1,300 students apply each year. This year there were 138 winners, in addition to 39 alternates.
Among those who got the good news and then the bad news was the California student, who found a message on her answering machine telling her she wasn't really a winner.
The way she found out was "devastating" and "very flaky," said Nancy Coolidge, coordinator for government relations and student financial support at the University of California system.
Under privacy rules, the names of scholarship winners are confidential.
Coolidge shared the student's e-mail but said the woman didn't want to be named. It was one of many such pleas to Congress.
"We were working at first to find out what happened and why an error occurred.After reviewing that, we came to the conclusion this was the right thing to do."
The government is considering legal
Erica Lepping
Education Department representative
action against the contractor, DTI Associates of Arlington, Va. The company has a one-year, $190,000 contract to handle applications.
Bruce Rankin, director of government services at DTI, said yesterday. "We physically mailed letters that were developed by the Department of Education."
Later he issued a statement saying, "An unfortunate miscommunication between both parties led to a clerical error. We are actively working with the department to resolve this issue. Our sincere concern is with the scholars, and that is that they're treated with respect throughout this process."
The 39 students had the law on their side, though Lepping said no lawsuits were threatened. An amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1992 bars the department from retracting Javits fellowships after they are awarded, unless the student lied on the application.
Normally, alternates get fellowships only when winners decline the fellowship because they have gotten money elsewhere.
The government estimates the mistake could cost up to $975,000,depending on how many winners take the fellowships.

Elected student representatives should handle campus fee issues
Student Senate has risked inaction on the nonrevenue sports fee issue based on the decision of a small subcommittee. Half of the members of this subcommittee were not elected to Senate, but still they are allowed to make decisions that affect the entire student body. Important issues such as this fee must be in the hands of elected representatives who are accountable to the student body.
The Campus Fee Review Subcommittee, a group of four senators and four nonsenators who are members of Senate standing committees, recently decided not to eliminate
Student senators should decide fate of nonrevenue sports fee for accountability's sake
the $20 nonrevenue sports fee, a portion of the campus fees all students pay at the beginning of each semester.
But Senate delegated this important duty to individuals who are not elected by the student body. Allowing a subcommittee to consider micro-issues might be a fair way to divide labor in Senate, and on some issues this might
not be as detrimental. However, these fees are more important than others.
Almost anyone can participate in Senate standing committees, but not all students have the time for campus politics. If we don't like the policies of our student government, our greatest expression of dissatisfaction is to not re-elect them. We can't do that to half of this subcommittee, because half of them are accountable only to themselves and their personal agendas.
A more open and fair way of settling the issue would be for the entire Senate to consider this issue. This way, at least students would feel better represented.

Pinochet should stand trial at home
On March 3, former Chiléan dictator,
General Augusto Pinochet, left Britain
and returned home to Santiago, Chile.
Britain made the correct decision.
In one sense, the Pinochet case ended a chapter in international law and jurisdiction that likely would be revisited. In another, Pinochet's return to Chile could bring about his demise. Even at 84 years old, cries for justice still hound the aging dictator for the disappearances and deaths of 72 dissidents following his 1973 coup.
The international saga that began during the fall of 1998 has many twists and turns. It began with Pinochet's simple diplomatic visit to Britain. It became complex when he suffered a series of strokes. Then, even as he was convalescing from back surgery, British authorities arrested him. Word had come from Spain that Baltasar Garzon, a leftist judge, was seeking to extradite and try Pinochet in Madrid on charges that Spanish nationals, allegedly sympathetic with leftist groups in Chilé, had been among the 72 dissidents that were tortured and killed in 1973. Much to the credit of British Home Secretary Jack Straw, he refused to let Pinochet be extradited to Spain or Belgium, France and Switzerland, other countries seeking to try Pinochet for his crimes. Clearly,
Britain's decision to return dictator to Chile was correct; saga is far from finished
Pinochet's alliance with Britain during the Falkland War saved him.
However, the case is far from closed. During the process of seeking to extradite Pinochet, British and Spanish courts ruled in favor of universal jurisdiction, the principle that anyone charged with human rights violations could be tried in the country that arrested the accused.
In theory, it looks and sounds good. In practice, it creates a gray area. What do human rights violations mean to the international community? How far does this jurisdiction reach?
While the particulars of this ruling are being defined, individuals such as Pinochet should be returned to their home nations to stand trial. It now appears that this will occur, just as it should.

Business research benefits universities financially
The March 6 Kansan editorial about university-sponsored business research was rather vague. But despite its lack of clarity, I disagree with it nonetheless.
The world is entering into an anomaly known as the Internet economy. It just so happens that universities are the fastest-growing producers of Internet start-ups. Even with labor markets the tightest they have been in 30 years, students are dropping out of
both graduate and undergraduate programs in an attempt to get financed by venture capitalists who are throwing seamlessly unlimited cash — to the tune of $28 billion during the first three quarters of 1999 — at a very finite number of profitable business models.
This just goes to show that importing basketball players from California isn't the only way a university can make money.
Instead of dropping out, a better solution would seem to be for universities to create incubator programs of their own. To wit, Akamai Technologies, which had the seventh highest IPO of 1999, made its Massachusetts Institute of Technology student founder $2 billion
on paper overnight. How much did it make MIT? Ninety-four million dollars on paper.

Super Tuesday climax to political play-by-play

standing; George W. Bush and Al Gore. In the match-up everybody was watching, the hailed underdog, John McCain, fell.
M. NASRUHAR AHMAD
}
Like Lawrence after a late-March Jayhawk loss, the vibe here in Washington, D.C., is now rife with disappointment. The fall of McCain no doubt will be lamented for weeks on the airwaves and opinion pages by political superfans. Before Tuesday's crushing defeat
these fans were buzzing with excitement at the prospect of a victorious McCain, Republican nominee.
Early in the game, McCain fought against seemingly insurmountable odds to keep it close. While his heavily favored opponent confidently relied on tested tactics throughout the game, McCain played with a free-wheeling finesse that breathed new life into the sport. Soon after the New Hampshire tipoff, McCain was winning big points with the reformer play. But Bush rebounded with his own twist on that play, — reformer with results — and turned the tide on McCain's assault. Bush went on to run that play repeatedly and took advantage of slogan-rule number one: Keep it simple.
Showboating or not, you've got to make the shots to win the game. That's where McCain
With McCain gone, political superfans will have to find a reason to care about the championship game between now and November. It likely will be a typical battle of the titans, full of predictable partisan plays and undaring defense. While the Dick Vitales of Washington will do their best to make the game exciting, it won't be.
While the big Bush vs. Gore showdown probably will not be a blockbuster event, that's just as well. Nothing could do more for the game's ratings than, say, the Reform Party's Hulk Hogan. But if presidential politics were ever to get that exciting and if voter turnout were to approach 100 percent, things could be a lot worse than dull.
McCain's sloppy offense left voters' perceptions of him in disarray. Instead, Bush's coherent defense stuck: McCain is a hot-tempered, anti-conservative foe. By game's end, even McCain played into Bush's hands as he launched a prayer shot against the Religious Right.
began to slip. From the beginning, he shot from the hip with crowd-pleasing candor and spontaneity. He showed disdain for traditional rehearsed plays. So even though he was nailing his anti-insider play in the early going, he continually changed his game plan. Then McCain compared Bush to President Clinton. By that time he changed his game plan again, but it was too late.
The fact is, American voters are not like American sports fans. They don't like barnburner politics. The edge of their collective seat is not the preferred place to be.

Skyrocketing gas prices curb driving, pollution
I am usually very faithful about making sure my car's fuel level indicator never dips below the quarter tank line. But during the last couple of weeks, I have nervously watched the gauge inch closer and closer to the 'E' as gas prices continually climb.
I finally purchased a half-tank's worth of unleaded gas last weekend at $1.39 per gallon. My $10 certainly did not go far — I received barely more than seven gallons. Local and national newspapers reported last week a national gas price average of $1.50 per gallon, with some locations charging as much as $1.65. Most gas stations had seen an increase of about 41 cents during the last year.

ouniion@kansan.com

The increase has been difficult for many of us to swallow because it is the most we've ever had to pay for gas. (I was only 11 years old in 1980 when gas prices last peaked at $1.46, and the majority of the student body couldn't drive legally.)
m sure that a significant number of students and staff members already have cringed at the mere thought of the gas bill for upcoming spring break road trips or drives home at the end of the semester. I know I have — my car and I will take a 2,338 mile round-trip journey to Charlotte, N.C., for a summer internship.
And there's no guarantee that we have seen the end of the rising price trend. USA Today was among several publications that quoted sources who estimated prices as expensive as $2.50 per gallon at pumps this summer. If this prediction comes true, I could end up paying about $360 to finance
the gas for my trip out East and back.
Regardless of prospective pump prices, it seems that the current high cost may be doing more good than we realize — while people are driving less to save money, they're helping to decrease the amount of harmful pollutants that vehicles emit. Newspapers reported last week that high gas prices had caused drivers to avoid frivolous road trips, remap routes, car-pool and use mass transportation. The papers also said that consumers were more interested in vehicle fuel efficiency and gas mileage last week than during previous months.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported that vehicles emit about half of the pollutants that cause smog and 90 percent of the carbon monoxide in the air. This pollution hurts aquatic life and water quality. It stunts growth of trees and other plants and harms animals. In humans, it could lead to such respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses as bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema and asthma.
The Consumer Federation of America, a non profit organization, estimated that Americans drive a total of 6.3 million miles each day, a fact that strongly correlates with the EPA's report that the automobile is the greatest pollutant in many densely populated cities. Anything that persuades people to drive less helps curb the pollution problems.
The climbing gas prices have reminded us of the limits of our natural resources and have forced drivers to think about the miles they will travel and the money they will pay for fuel every time they pick up a pump.
Many drivers, including me, will continue to drive less to avoid an extremely high gas bill. I hope they will also be aware of the potential to help save part of the environment while saving some cash on gas.

Group offers support to grieving students
By Warisa Chulindra
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Hollie Bush, Overland Park sophomore, didn't want to talk to anyone for weeks after her 15-year-old sister, Amanda, was killed in a car accident two years ago.
"It's shocking," Bush said. "My friends were awesome and so was my family. I was happy they were for me, but I just wanted to be left alone."
Recently, two of her friends also experienced deaths of family members. The death of her sister allowed Bush and her friends to find comfort in one another.
"It easier to get support from people who know what it's like to lose a family member that's so close to you." Bush said.
For those looking for others who have experienced the death of a loved one or have experienced a loss such as divorce, Ramsey-Yost Funeral Home, 601 Indiana St., sponsors a free grief support group.
The 12-week program began last week and members may join for the next month. It meets from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays at the A4
Society Conference Room in Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Since the group began in 1989, more than 250 people have gone through the program, said David Hallenbeck, chaplain and funeral director.
Hallenbeck also is a certified grief counselor from the Grief Recovery Institute in Los Angeles and leads the group. He has experienced the deaths of loved ones as well. His grandfather, father and son have died.
The group uses the handbook of the Grief Recovery Institute, which includes three written assignments. Members make a life history graph, recording significant emotional highs and lows and the ways they coped. They also make a relationship graph about the loved one who has died. Then members write a letter to the person they have lost.
"Oftentimes we're left with regrets, 'I wish I had, I wish I hadn't,' " Hallenbeck said. "We go back and tidy up those painful memories."
Other options are available to students who have experienced a death or loss. The University of Kansas offers individual counseling at Counseling and

Donna L. Flory, social worker at the Psychological Clinic, said some people would be more comfortable in individual counseling than in group counseling.
"For some people who are more private, going to a group would be intimidating," she said. "They wouldn't be focused on dealing with the grief and loss."
Flory said people dealt with grief in different ways and often sought support through other organizations such as churches. Regardless of how students deal with grief and loss, it is important they remember the process varies with each individual.
"There's no picture of what it is supposed to look like," Flory said. "The truth is it's an ongoing process."
McCain to end or suspend candidacy
WASHINGTON — George W. Bush and Al Gore, party nominations assured, reached out to John McCain's independent-minded primary voters yesterday, each man determined to capture the middle ground where the battle for the White House will be decided.
McCain, meanwhile, huddled with senior strategists and major financial backers at his mountain cabin near Sedona, Ariz., to assess the situation. Campaign events in Colorado and Illinois were canceled.
The Associated Press
McCain scheduled a news conference for noon EST today. It was unclear whether McCain
would end his campaign entirely,
or simply suspend his candidacy
to preserve his options. One
senior aide said he would halt
the campaign. Another said
McCain would quit outright.
Both spoke anonymously.
Most of McCain's senior aides have been urging him to withdraw, saying Bush has built an almost impossible lead in the delegate count.
Aides said there was no campaign schedule after today's announcement, except for an off-the-record barbecue with journalists at McCain's rustic cabin near Sedona. Reporters were told they would be dispatched to Phoenix at the end of the day —
without McCain.
"John McCain tapped into a vein," Bush said. "The McCain supporters will hear my message of reform: reforming schools, reforming the military, reforming the tax code, and renewal, renewing the spirit of America."
As for Gore, the vice president invoked McCain's name more often than President Clinton's. In a round of TV interviews, he twice started a sentence, "Like John McCain, I ..." And Gore, who campaigned in Detroit, added to the week's schedule another two stops in Michigan in an effort to convert the voters who handed McCain his Feb. 22 primary victory there.
Modernized Iliad hits the stage tonight
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
For many people, Homer's The Iliad conjures up images of mighty Greek warriors engaged in battle at the ancient city of Troy.
But when the Aquila Theatre Company performs The Iliad at 8 p.m. tonight at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., they will do so in the garb of modern warfare, evoking images of D-Day. They will be working from a version of The Iliad translated by Stanley Lombardo, chairman of the classics department.
Lombardi said that his interest in Homer stemmed from his days as an undergraduate at Loyola University, where he was first introduced to The Iliad in a required course on classical Greece. He said he seriously began working on the translation in 1990.
"I had D-Day and war movies very much in mind when I was working on the translation," Lombardo said. "I wanted the Homeric heroes to sound and talk like modern soldiers."
"To modernize and colloquialize is easy." Lombardo said. "But to maintain the dire spirit and the dignity of Homer is where the challenge lies."
Lombardi compared his version of Achilles to Clint Eastwood but said that although his translation was American, it maintained the essence of Homer's original.
Lombardo said the company debuted the production at the Lincoln Center in New York City, where it was greeted with rave reviews.
Lombardo said that the Aquila Theatre Company, which is the company-in-residence at the Center for Ancient Studies at New York University, contacted his publisher last year and asked if it could use the translation in an adaptation for the stage. Lombardo and his publisher consented, and since then the company has been performing his version.
Mike Shaw, associate professor of classics, said he wanted to bring the production to the University of Kansas after he and several of his and Professor Lombardi's students saw it performed in Columbia, Mo., in October of 1999.

Humanifies to see if it would be interested in sponsoring the event. Janet Crow, executive director for the Hall Center, said the center coordinated the production.
Shaw said the company's production was elaborate, with several dramatic and visual effects. He said that the production had improved the reputation of the company and that bringing the production to the University was important.
"It is an honor for KU for a professional company of this caliber to come and perform Stanley's work." Shaw said.
Lombardo said there were many parallels between the Trojan War and World War II.
"The Trojan War helped define what it meant for the Greeks to be a hero," Lombardo said. "It was a Panhellenic effort in the same way World War II was a Panhellenic effort, and it defined national identity for the Greeks in much the same way fighting and winning World War II did for us."
Lombardo also has translated Hesiod's Works and Days, Theogony and fragments of Parmiunedes and Empedocles. His translation of The Odyssey, the continuation of Homer's epic, will be released March 18.

Bradley to concede; Gore looks to November
McCain mulls his next move
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Bill Bradley intends to bow out of the presidential race today and endorse Vice President Al Gore, who vanquished him in 16 Super Tuesday contests from coast to coast.
Bradley's decision marks the end of a candidacy that soared briefly but floundered when the first votes were cast in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary. It also eliminates the last shred of doubt that Gore will be the Democratic presidential nominee, and allows him to turn his attention to November with a party united behind his candidacy.
Both men praised one another in public comments Tuesday night after Gore's victories
The University Daily Kansan
Three senior Bradley advisers, speaking on conditions of anonymity, said the former senator
sealed Bradlev's fate.

the advisers said.
His quick embrace of Gore is bound to increase speculation about Bradley as a potential running mate. However, Bradley himself has said he wouldn't want the vice president's job.
and a senior adviser said yesterday that there was no chance he would change his mind.
Bradley's options were few, and his departure assumed after Gore swept Tuesday's voting and pivoted quickly to the general election campaign against likely GOP nominee George W. Bush.
Gore gained 942 delegates, increasing his total to 1,424 of the 2,170 needed to win the Democratic nomination. Bradley won 355 delegates, giving him 412.
cent of the vote. In addition, Gore won party caucuses in North Dakota, Idaho, Washington state, American Samoa and Hawaii.
"I'll make my plans known shortly," Bradley said after minority voters and union workers sealed Gore's shutout Tuesday in 15 states — including Missouri, where Bradley was born, and New York, where he was a basketball star.
Even as Bradley made plans to drop out, Gore was criticizing the Texas governor yesterday on issues from gun control to Social Security.
Gore easily took as much as 60 percent of the vote in the 15 contests. In a victory address that aides said would become his standard stump speech, he painted the GOP as beholden to its right wing — himself as "mainstream" — and clearly counted on riding the strong economy to victory in November.
In a signal of how he would handle one of his thorniest issues — allegations of improper fund-raising in 1996 — Gore answered repeated questions on the subject on morning TV

shows saying that he had learned from his mistakes and that the nation needed campaign finance reform.
Gore defeated Bradley in primaries in 11 states, including the big prizes of California and New York. Bradley came closest in Vermont, where he pulled 44 per
Bush emerged from the Republican voting as the prohibitive front-runner against Sen. John McCain, who yesterday planned to contemplate the future of his campaign at his Arizona retreat.
Polling place interviews with voters in every region of the country underscored the vice president's strength among core Democratic constituencies.
African Americans preferred Gore ahead of Bradley by a margin of 6-to-1; and Hispanics by 8-to-1. The margin among union members was smaller but still a healthy 3-to-1.
Deadlock broken in Mideast talks
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Gritting their teeth, Palestinians and Israelis ended a crisis in the peace process yesterday by each conceding what had been a cardinal "no"; Israelis allowed greater U.S. involvement, and Palestinian accepted territory not abutting Jerusalem.
In a telling sign of the renewed U.S. role, it was President Clinton's top envoy, Dennis Ross, who announced the resumption of peace talks, flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
Ross, who said the peace talks would resume in Washington after the four-day Muslim Eid al-Adhha holiday beginning March 16, said the sides are committed to work in the spirit of partnership and mutual confidence.
The accelerated pace — aiming for the outline of a permanent agreement by May, and for a full-fledged deal by Sept. 13 — was nonetheless fraught with issues that could sideline an agreement.
The sides are far apart on the status of Jerusalem, the future of Jewish settlements and the status of Palestinian refugees.
Still, the seriousness each side attached to renewing the talks was underscored by their major reversals.
Arafat had suspended the talks early last month because of details of an interim Israeli troop withdrawal from 6.1 percent of the West Bank.
The Palestinians wanted the withdrawal to include three West Bank suburbs that abutted Jerusalem, a pullback that would enhance his stake in the disputed city. Israel resisted, offering the Palestinians unpopulated patches of land. Arafat said if he could not trust the Israelis on relatively minor matters, there was no way he could work with them on the major issues.
anonymity, said Barak had handed Arafat a map featuring 10 percent of the West Bank, out of which Arafat could choose the 6.1 percent he wanted. The new map includes populous areas near, but not adjoining, Jerusalem.
Under U.S. pressure, Arafat backed down. Palestinian officials, speaking on condition of
Foreign Minister David Levy said the withdrawal would be soon.
Barak's concession is a deeper U.S. involvement, which in the past has forced Washington to
back off its uncritical support for Israel for a more neutral stance.
Levy insisted the United States did not determine what his country does, but acknowledged the negotiations would alternate between Washington and the Mideast.
PETER HOFFMAN
Barak: Resumes talks with Yassir Arafat
Palestinian officials, who have favored active U.S. involvement ever since it led to Clinton's virtual endorsement of Palestinian statehood in December 1998, said Ross would attend every meeting. The Palestinian and Israeli leaders both face pressure to reach a final deal.
Arafat has staked his reputation on declaring statehood by Sept. 13, but fears the violence — and the total collapse of peace — that a unilateral declaration would entail. A Palestinian threat last week to assume authority in areas now under joint control prompted warnings by Israel that it outgunned the Palestinians.
Barak, who had been banking on what he perceived as a more straightforward peace treaty with Syria, saw those ambitions collapse about Syria's insistence on a prior commitment to withdraw from the Golan Heights — and the ensuing escalation of violence in Lebanon.
Off-duty firefighter kills four
Rescue workers shot by gunman during house fire
The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Firefighters responding to a house fire yesterday were ambushed by an off-duty Memphis firefighter who stepped out of the garage and began shooting, authorities said. Two firefighters and a sheriff's deputy were killed, and a woman was found dead in the garage.
The suspected gunman, Fred Williams, was wounded and was undergoing surgery. Police Director Walter E. Crews said. A bystander also was wounded, but not seriously.
Williams had just returned to
work as a firefighter this week after an extended leave on disability, Crews said. The suspect did not work at the same station as the men who were killed, but J.C. Fleming, deputy director of the Fire Department, said they probably knew each other from working the same shift.
"We don't expect this. We're here to fight fires." Fire Chief HJ.Pickett said. "You want to say it's part of the job, but it's not."
Williams did not live in the house, and his relationship to the woman found dead in the garage was unclear, Crews said. Authorities also were uncertain how the woman was killed and whether the fire was set to cover up her death.
Firefighters were called to the home just before 1 p.m. When they arrived, witnesses said, a man came out of the garage firing a
shotgun and shouting, "Get away! Get away!"
Firefighters Lt. Javier Lerma and Pvt. William Blakemore were killed. Sheriff's Deputy Rupert Peete was shot in his patrol car as he responded to the report of the shooting, authorities said. His car crashed through a fence.
Memphis police officers then arrived and tried to get the gunman to put down his weapon. When he refused, "one of our officers got into a gun battle and the suspect was shot," Crews said.
Before firefighters arrived, neighbors reported seeing smoke coming from the house and alerted the suspect, but he said everything was fine, according to authorities. Soon after, deputies and firefighters arrived and were ambushed.
The fire was put out within a couple of hours.

German baby slot offers anonymity to mothers seeking to give up babies
BERLIN — This is a story Germans don't want to see repeated: A 28-year-old mother was convicted of manslaughter yesterday for killing three infants shortly after their birth because she was too overwhelmed to care for them.
In the northern city of Hamburg, a group is trying to prevent a repetition of the tragedy by introducing a "baby slot" where mothers can safely — and anonymously — leave unwanted infants without fear of prosecution.
Although criticized by some conservatives, the project, to be launched in three weeks, has been widely praised, prompting cities throughout Germany to consider implementing similar programs.
It involves a baby slot, to be located near a train station in a poor section of Hamburg. When a buzer is rung, a door opens and a platform is lowered to receive the baby. The door then closes and the baby is lowered into a warm bed. A sensor then alerts health care workers.
Baby drop-off programs such as this are rare. Similar 4-year-old
In the United States, Alabama, Minnesota, Georgia and Texas have local programs protecting the identities of women who give up their babies, but they still must hand them directly to health care workers.
Activists think the anonymity of the Hamburg baby slot will encourage frightened parents to give up their babies rather than leave them in unsafe locations. The program was devised after city officials reported five infants abandoned in 1999. Nationwide, officials say an average of 20 babies are abandoned each year; half die.
Babies left in the baby slot will be given medical attention and then go to a foster family. Mothers will have eight weeks to decide if they want to return and claim their babies, although activists say experience shows that is unlikely.
"The mothers are very alone. There's nobody who helps them; they can't talk with anyone," said Juergen Moyisch, a manager of Sternipark, the youth aid group
programs have reported success in Budapest, Hungary, and Johannesburg, South Africa.
The project has been criticized by conservative politicians who say any mother who leaves a baby should be prosecuted. But parents only face criminal action in Germany if they endanger a child.
"There are important objections, but we have to deal with the lives of the babies," said Herbert Wiedermann, who heads the city's child and family welfare department, which has contributed $25,000 to the $125,000 project. "We have come to the conclusion that we want to do everything to save the baby."

Sternipark hopes its Hamburg project will give women a safe way to abandon their babies.
"It's the last chance for some babies, and we want to give them this chance." Movisch said.

Men's Big 12 teams to rumble at Kemper
By Brandon Krisztal
sports@kansan.com
kansan sportwriter
"I'm going to Kansas City... Kansas City here I come."
These song lyrics may ring true for all Big 12 men's basketball teams, but for half of the schools competing in today's first round of the men's tournament, the trip to Kansas City will be brief.
Teams seeded 12 through five squareoff today — No. 12 seed Kansas State faces No. 5 Kansas, No. 11 Texas Tech battles No. 6 Missouri, No. 10 Texas A&M plays No. 7 Colorado, and No. 9 Baylor plays No. 8 Nebraska.
Baylor forward Jamie Kendrick has won only one game in his three previous trips to Kansas City. Last season, the Bears lost to Oklahoma State, 83-57 on day one. They returned to Waco, Texas, immediately. This year, Kendrick said he would like to extend his stay.
"You don't want to come here, play
one game and go home," he said.
"We're not saying we're going to come in and beat Nebraska. We have to concentrate and take it one game at a time. We're trying to do all the small things we need to get things done and be around at the end of the week."
Although Kansas State doesn't have far to travel, Wildcat coach Tom Asbury is realistic about his third meeting with the Jayhawks.
"I wouldn't agree that (Kansas) is down," Asbury said. "I'd say they're young, but I think they're deep and I think on any given night, they're an excellent basketball team.
"Maybe some of the guys who they anticipated being marquee players didn't ultimately end up to be that way. But when you look at the kind of impact that (Nick) Collison and (Kirk) Hinrich have had on that team, I still think they're a very solid team."
Asbury said that while the Jayhawks are capable of winning the tournament, he was unsure if they actually
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
would.
"I'm not sure this team is a big step down, talent-wise, from a number of their teams," he said. "Their team with (Pau) Pierce and (Rae) LaFrentz was a team that could probably have won a national championship. This team is on par with a lot of the other ones in my time."
Other Big 12 teams are more optimistic about their potential in the tournament.
Despite losses that Nebraska suffered earlier this season, Cornhusker coach Denny Nee said his team was focused.
"At this point of the year, I am way more concerned with our own approach to the game," he said. "Baylor is a lot like us. They were very competitive, but they didn't find a way to finish games. It should be an excellent contest."
The younger teams might have problems in Kansas City — Texas A&M has seven freshmen on its roster, including coaches co-freshman of the year Bernard King. Aggies coach Melvin Watkins said his players will have to get familiar with the rigors of postseason tournament play quickly.
Despite how teams fare, Nee said the players in the conference are solid — and they should be impressed.
"They will be scared to death," he said. "An event like this is something they've not experienced. They'll have their eyes wide open, and they won't know what to expect. They have to understand that everyone is back at 0-0 and everything's even now. We might be outmanned, but we won't be intimidated."
"I was telling the players on the way here that this is one of the best tournaments played right now in the country," he said. "You can talk about the ACC, the Big 10 and the SEC, but the talent level in this league is pretty impressive."

500th home run ball sold to sports collector
ST. LOUIS — Mark McGwire's 500th home run ball has been sold to a sports memorabilia collector.
Michael Barnes, the agent who sold the ball, said yesterday that the buyer is a well-known collector who thought that the ball is one of the most valuable ever hit. Barnes didn't reveal the price.
McGwire hit his 500th homer on Aug. 5 in a 10-3 loss to the San Diego Padres.
McGwire made it to 500 in 5,487 atbats,
breaking Babe Ruth's record of 5,801. Jim
Shearer, a 28-year-old St. Louis architect,
survived a mad crumble at Busch Stadium
to retrieve the ball.
Barnes, president of One-of-a-Kind Auctions in Festus, offered $100,000 before last season to any fan catching McGwire's 500th. The $100,000 was an advance on what the ball might bring at an auction.
After hitting his 500th home run, McGwire said the bat he used to hit it would be donated to the Hall of Fame. He had hoped to see the ball join it. McGwire has said he thinks the items are historical and should not be sold.
Smoltz out for the season will have elbow surgery
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — John Smoltz will have surgery March 23 to repair a torn medial collateral ligament in his right elbow. The Atlanta Braves right-hander is expected to miss the season.
Smoltz had pain in the elbow in his only spring outing, when he allowed three runs and five hits on Sunday against Tampa Bay.
"The last five days have been the worst for me," Smoltz said yesterday. "Just not knowing, trying a lot of things trying to get ready for the season. And then after that game, for about a five-hour period, I felt pretty bad."
Smoltz said his elbow felt better Monday, but the Braves decided to check it out. He had an MRI, and the results Tuesday night indicated that surgery was necessary.
"I'm actually more positive than I thought because, after not knowing what's going on, I know what I can do now," said Smoltz, who indicated after rehab he should be able to pitch another three or four years.
He was on the disabled list twice last season with a strained right elbow. He finished 11-8 with a 3.19 ERA in 29 starts.
"What we'll do is examine who we have here, evaluate who we have here, evaluate how comfortable we feel with how we make things work in John's absence," said Braves general manager John Schertolz. "Then we'll decide whether or not we look outside the organization."

Iowa State's Fizer voted Big 12 player of the year
AMES, Iowa — When Marcus Fizer,
changed, so did Iowa State's fortune
Fizer went from a player who merely scored to a player who scored and helped his team win.
And his reward - he was the unanimous choice by a media panel as The Associated Press Big 12 player of the year.
Powerfully built at 6-feet-8 and 265 pounds but fast and agile, Fizer led Iowa State to its first conference championship in 55 years and was brilliant down the stretch.
"He is the most difficult guy in the league to guard," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "He gets everybody in foul trouble and scores as well."
Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson agreed with Williams.
"Holy smokes," Sampson said when Fizer's name was brought up. "That kid is a monster."
Iowa State's Jamaal Tinsley, a point guard who was critical in the Cyclones' title run, was named the league's newcomer of the year. Texas A&M's Bernard King was chosen as freshman of the year.
Tinsley received all but one of the 24 votes for the newcomer award. The other went to Nebraska's Kimani Friend.
King received 14 votes, Missouri's Kareem Rush had six and Nick Collison of Kansas received four.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Colorado wide receiver misses court date, arrested
BOULDER, Colo. — Colorado wide receiver Javon Green was arrested for missing court appearances in two misdemeanor cases, marking his second arrest in weeks.
Green, Colorado's leading receiver last fall as a junior, was arrested Monday night following a traffic stop after officers discovered he had two outstanding warrants for his arrest.
He allegedly failed to appear in court on a theft charge under $100, and he also allegedly didn't show up in court on a charge of driving with a suspended or revoked California driver's license.
Green was issued two summonses and released from Boulder County Jail pending court appearances later this month.
Colorado coach Gary Barnett said Green would be allowed to participate in spring practice, which begins Saturday, unless something else happened. He also said Green's problems should not be a distraction to the team.
Last week, junior Damion Barton was charged with felony menacing, false imprisonment and third-degree assault after he allegedly cut his pregnant wife's hair with scissors.
Two other football players, Andy Peeke and John Minardi, were also arrested in December for felony theft after taking a bike they thought belonged to a friend. Peeke, a backup linebacker, and Minardi, a wide receiver, each received a one-year deferred sentence in January and were ordered to perform 48 hours of community service.

Mavericks release Rodman after a month with the team
NBA
DALLAS — Dennis Rodman needed less than a month to wear out his welcome in Dallas.
The Mavicks gave up on their biggest drawing card yesterday, giving him his release hours after he lashed out against owner-in-waiting Mark Cuban.
Rodman's recent leave could mark the end of the line for the most-pierced, most-tattooed player in league history.
The team, which announced the move on its Web site before issuing a statement, said it would not comment until this morning.

To Griffey, money isn't everything
Finally, someone in the world of professional sports did something that wasn't about money.
Last month,
Ken Griffey Jr.
signed a $116.5
million nine-year
contract with
the Cincinnati Reds.
Griffey was traced
to the Reds after months of
speculation about where he would end up following his publicized urge to play for someone
I will help you find the text in the image. The text is:
"Williams, John A.
Jason Walker
sports@kansan.com
other than the Seattle Mariners
Now I know that $116.5 million isn't exactly going to make Griffey's kids starve. It's more money than most people will ever have in their lives.
But the fact is, Griffey could have made a lot more somewhere else. It has been reported that the amount he signed for is about half of his market value. He is arguably the best player in baseball and is in the prime of his career. His old team, the Mariners, offered him an eight-year, $135 million contract to stay in Seattle.
But he didn't want to play anywhere else.
You see, Griffey grew up in Cincinnati. He grew up watching his father, Ken Griffey Sr., become a star on the Big Red Machine teams of the '70s. Ken Sr. is currently a coach for the Reds.
This is a dream job for 'The Kid.' He will get to finish his career in his hometown, under the watchful eye of his father. He gets to join a team that was one win away from the playoffs last season and has a much better chance of winning a championship than the outstandingly average Mariners club he left behind.
But this trade doesn't only benefit the Reds and Griffey, it benefits baseball. Griffey joins fellow slug-
gers Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs and Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central, making this the best offensive division in baseball.
That means that this year the Reds will play a total of 24 games against either the Cubs or the Cardinals. You think a Griffey-Big Mac showdown won't spark a few taters? McGwire and Sosa have proven in the last two years that each other's play motivates the other to hit more home runs. Now, there's a third bomber in the mix. Exciting stuff. This could be the most exciting summer of baseball we've seen in a long time.
But the best thing about Griffey's signing is that he didn't follow the money. He was courted heavily by the Atlanta Braves, a perennial World Series letdown that with Griffey could probably be one of the greatest team ever.
He could have made a lot more money in Atlanta, too. It's no telling how many other teams would have made Griffie lucrative offers to join their roster, were it not for his desire to play in Cincinnati.
It sure is comforting to see a great athlete like Griffey follow his heart instead of his bank account. In fact, it makes you wonder why more athletes don't do the same. Wouldn't most people rather make less money in a job they love than more in one they hate?
Junior has made history ever since he was a 19-year-old rookie in 1989. He started his career playing center field next to his father in right field. He became the fastest player in history to hit 400 home runs and is on pace to shatter Hank Aaron's record of 755. Last year, at age 30, he was named to baseball's all-century team along with legends like Babe Ruth and Willie Mays.
And it all couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Championship week rolls on; some teams fall away
Ball State wins conference moves into NCAA tourney
CLEVELAND — Lonnie Jones blocked seven shots, and Ball State earned an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament last night with a 61-58 victory against Miami of Ohio in the championship of the Mid-American Conference tournament.
The Cardinals (22-8), the tourney's No. 2 seed, made their free throws down the stretch to hold off the surprising Red Hawks (15-15), the No. 9 seed.
Tournament MVP Duane Clemens scored 14 points and Theron Smith had 12 points and eight rebounds for the Cardinals, who next week will be making their seventh NCAA tournament appearance and first since 1995.
The key for Ball State was the 6-foot-11 Jones, who dominated inside in the second half, blocking six shots and altering several more.
Jason Stewart scored 25 points and Rob Mestas had 11 for Miami, which scored only two field goals in the final 4:27 and shot just 31 percent from the floor.
Ball State's season began to take a dive shortly after a 20-point victory against Purdue, and the Cardinals began the MAC regular season 3-6. But with Clemens, a senior guard, leading the way, Ball State won 11 of its last 12 and its seventh MAC tourney title.
"We're going dancing, baby!" Ball State coach Ray McCallum yelled as his players pounded on each other near midcourt. "This is what it's all about."
Clemens, who scored a career-high 35 in a semifinal victory against Ohio University, cried and hugged his grandmother, Virginia Cox, after earning his first trip to the NCAAs.
Men's Basketball
Defense ruled in the second half as neither team could get an open look at the basket. Both teams went 514 without scoring a field goal. Before Mestas made a layup with 22 seconds left, Stewart was the only player to score for Miami.
Ray Jackson's three-pointer gave
the cardinals a 51-46 lead, but Ball State went the next 8:08 without scoring before Jones hit a short hook to make it 53-52 with 3:22 remaining.
Stewart, who made a MAC-record 10 three-pointers in the semifinals against Marshall, missed on Miami's next possession and Smith hit a tough leaver to put the Cardinals up 55-54.
Stewart made two free throws with 2:09 left, but Smith scored the game's biggest basket, getting fouled on a layup. His free throw put the Cardinals up 57-54 and, after Stewart forced a three-pointer that missed, Patrick Jackson hit two free throws as Ball State opened a 59-54 lead with 27.3 seconds left.
Mestas's layup closed it to three, but Smith made two more free throws with 20.9 second left.
UConn thumps Eagles in Big East tourney opener
NEW YORK — In an up-and-down season for defending national champion Connecticut, there remains one constant.
The Huskies always beat Boston College.
Connecticut (22-8)
extended its winning streak against the Eagles to 23 games yesterday with a 70-55 victory that was built largely on the backboards.
HUSKY CITY SCHOOL
With Jake Voskuhl and Kevin Freeman each grabbing 11 rebounds, the two-time Big East tournament champions opened defense of the title decisively.
It was the seventh straight Big East tournament victory and 10th in the last 11 conference tournament games for the No. 21 Huskies, who have won this title three of the last four years.
Connecticut, which beat Boston College 87-58 in the regular season, has not lost to the Eagles since the
"When you're in a tournament like this, you know, anything can happen."
Jim Calhoun Connecticut coach
1987-88 season. The 23 straight victories Syracuse's record of 23 in a row against Seton Hall from 1982 to 1992.
Voskukhl led the Huskies with 16 points and Freeman had 11. Khalid El-Aim scored 14 points and Albert Mouring added 12.
Connecticut outrebounded the undermanned Eagles 46-26.
"I just think that our domination inside on the offensive glass and overall limited them to one shot and done," coach Jim Calhoun said. "That made a difference in this game. When you're in a tournament like this, you know, anything can happen."
Boston College opened fast and led 14-6 following consecutive three-pointers by Xavier Singletary. But then the Eagles went scoreless for nearly eight minutes and Connecticut shot in front with a run of 12 points.
And for a while, undermanned Boston College (11-19), playing without injured Big East Rookie of the Year Troy Bell, had the Huskies on the run.
The victory was the fourth straight for Connecticut and Calhoun said the difference was El-Amin.
"We feed off him," Calhoun said.
"Teams are built around certain things. If you have a great quarterback, you run a particular offense. Everything's predicated on that. We feed off K's energy. When he was energized for those first 10 minutes in the second half, we became energized."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Led by Desiree Fr桥'18 points, Iowa State advanced to the semifinals of the Big 12 women's basketball tournament with a 93-58 victory yesterday against Oklahoma State.

Iowa State shot 53 percent for the game, compared to 26 percent for the Cowgirls. The Cyclones set tournament records for margin of victory, three-point goals made and attempted, and field goal defense in both a game and a half.
Francis missed only one of the seven shots she took, and she was 4-for-5 from three-point range. The Cyclones were 14-of-32 from beyond the arc.
Iowa State's 19-0 run began right after Oklahoma State point guard Chantyo Hutchins, who scored 28 points in an opening-round victory against Kansas State, picked up her third foul.
Lindsey Wilson added 15 points, Megan Taylor 14 and Stacy Freese had ten for the Cyclones.
Oklahoma State (14-16) got 20 points from Jennifer Crow — most of them scored long after the game was decided.

Texas (20-11) scored 17 of the final 20 points as Brown outdueled Big 12 Player of the Year Phylesha Whaley.
Brown scored 26 points, including 16 in the final 8:35. Whaley scored 21 points, but her night ended with a traveling call in the final seconds.

With the score 68-68 with 48 seconds left, Oklahoma tried to get the ball inside, but Tai Dillard made a steal and passed to Brown for a layup. On its next possession, Oklahoma tried to get the ball to Whaley, but she traveled as the defense collapsed around her.
Texas advanced to the semifinals to play sixth-ranked Texas Tech, which beat Colorado 76-60.
Oklahoma clears Najera in financing investigation
NORMAN, Okla. — The University of Oklahoma released a statement yesterday stating that its review of high school financing for seniors Eduardo Najaver and Victor Avila found nothing that would affect their college eligibility.
The Associated Press
The university reviewed the issue as a result of a question posed by a reporter at the San Antonio Express-News.
Najera and Avila attended Cornerstone Christian School in San Antonio.
"Any aid they received was provided by the school and was part of the school's aid program available to all students at the school," the university statement said.
It also said the school's program was consistent with NCAA rules.
Najera, a native of Mexico, attended Cornerstone Christian during the 1994-95 school year. The San Antonio newspaper said an official of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools said the tuition was subsidized by the Mexican National Basketball Federation.
The university said its information confirmed that neither Najera nor Avila received any financial assistance of any kind from the Mexican Basketball Federation or from any other people or organizations to attend the school.
This season, the NCAA has penalized basketball players who have had third parties outside their immediate family pay for prep school tuition. Oklahoma State freshman Andre Williams missed five games as the result of such an investigation.
According to Oklahoma, the review involved the Big 12 Conference, the NCAA, Cornerstone Christian and the Mexican Basketball Federation.

Pole vaulter soars to new heights
By Sarah Warren
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Andrea Branson stares down the runway, pole in hand.
She hears the crowd screaming, the throwers grunting, the rambling of the announcer's voice. Through the corner of her eye, she sees a line of bodies in red and blue warm-ups planted along the right side of the runway. She narrows her eyes.
The announcer, throwers and crowd all turn mute, only the rhythmic clapping of her teammates remain.
She checks her steps and stares down the runway at the bar suspended 13 feet in the air. Rolling onto her heel, she lifts her pole towards the rafters and launches herself down the runway
The amount of clapping increases with each step, until the pole plants in the box and Branson is airborne, hoisting her body over the bar. She falls to the mat, elated.
R. M. B.
This is the case for Branson again and again — enjoy the atmosphere, block out the atmos-
enjoy the atmosphere, block out the atmosphere and perform an incredible vault. And there is no doubt about it, her formula works.
This year alone, the junior pole vaulter from Prairie Village has racked up six first-place finishes, each time jumping 13 feet or more. She is ranked fourth in the nation going into this weekend's NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.
But with all the technical aspects of pole vaulting, Branson's success began with a little luck. She had an unplanned run-in with the sport at a jump camp run by Kansas combined-events coach Rick Attig.
"My sophomore year of high school I was a valuer for a week. In fact, I only competed in one meet, so I guess you could say that I was a valuer for a day," Branson said. "Then I went to one of coach Attig's jump camps that summer and loved it."
And not only did she love it, she was one of the first females to do it. The event was not sanctioned by Kansas high schools — so when she did vault a few times in competition, her score wasn't added to the team score.
All of this showed Attig that she had a thirst for more.
"It was very rare to have a girl at camp. She was probably the first girl, and I didn't even know if there were a lot of girls jumping in Kansas at the time," he said. "You can really tell who has a passion for the event — she really did — and I really felt strongly that if I had time to work with her, that she'd be really good."

But Branson knew her chances of becoming a full-time pole vaulter were pretty slim because the NCAA had yet to sanction the event.
Instead, she competed regularly as a triple, long and high jumper and won the 1997 Kansas state triple jump title with a school-record setting jump of 36.5 while at Shawnee Mission East. And, she signed her senior year with Johnson County Community College as a multi-event athlete.
But one phone call changed all that.
Detect one phone call to manage.
"I happened to get a phone call from coach Attig one day, and he was talking about how we were gong to have it as an NCAA event," Branson said. "I was like, 'Pole vault for you?'
So in 1998, Branson and Ashley Feinberg became the first women ever recruited to Kansas for pole vaulting.
Where's the paper? Where do I sign?"
Since her freshman year, Branson has qualified for four NCAA Championships, placing as high as third place in the indoor competition her sophomore year. This weekend will mark her fourth trip to the competition.
She holds the Kansas indoor and outdoor records, at 13"2" and 13"4", respectively, and is a two-time Big 12 Champion and a three-time All-American. All this while juggling practice with her major — computer engineering.
Coming in her freshman year, Branson realized she had a long way to go while practicing with now-junior Feinberg, who was the nation's best female high school pole vaulter.
"Ashley probably jumped two feet higher than me," Branson said. "It just proves that awesome coaches can make up such a big gap."
In fact, Branson thinks the credit for her success is solely due to Attig.
"A good coach makes a good pole vault," she said. "He taught me everything that works."
Branson works almost 20 hours a week on the runway and in the weight room with Attig and the other full-time pole vaulters, Feinberg, junior Greg Steele, sophomore Justin Stancil and freshman Vadim Govdzetski.
"We push each other more than we actually compete against each other. We're more like a basketball team," Branson said. "We can get marks for each other to help push along and adjust our performances."
But Branson, one of three team captains, has made sure not to stay only in her little corner of Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
"Our practices are very divided — the pole vaulters are very confined to the mat — but she's made a decided effort to get to know everyone on the team this year," said Steele of Branson. "She's pretty much memorized the media guide and knows everyone's name and what year they are."
Knowing her teammates is crucial part of Branson's role as team captain.
"My responsibilities as captain are to lead by example and to be a good listener and a good communicator between the coaches and athletes," she said.
And Branson takes her words to heart, too
And Branson takes her words to heart, too: "The real leaders distinguish themselves by getting outside of their area and concerning themselves with others, and it is a genuine concern," said track coach Gary Schwartz. "It is people like Andrea who really help make the difference."

Women's tennis smashes Tigers in conference meet
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
One team at Kansas never has much of a problem beating Missouri — it has done it 18 times.
The Kansas women's tennis team pushed its winning streak against Missouri to 19 last night after winning their second conference meet of the season.
The Jayhawks won the meet 7-2, and are now 2-0 in the Big 12 conference and 8-2 overall.
Kansas came out smoking, ending Missouri's chances of victory by winning five of the six singles matches. The lone singles loss was at the No. 4 position when Tiffany Chang lost to fellow freshman Kristina Olshanskaya, 5-7, 2-7.
Coach Jenny Garrity said she was pleased that her team won many of the points that were at either deuce or advantage. She said she also was happy with her team's performance and on trying to cut down on its mental mistakes.

"I thought everybody did a good job considering I told them, literally, right before they walked on the court."

Tennis coach
Following a break, the doubles teams took the court with a new player. Freshman walk-on Kim Lorenz saw her first action of the spring when she was paired with freshman Lisa Malliaiah, but lost 6-8.
Despite losing, Lorenz said she was happy to get back on the court but that she had too many errors. She attributed those errors to her lack of play, but said she was satisfied with her performance overall.
The change was made after the meet had technically been won, and Garrity said her players did a nice job adjusting to the player change, considering how little time they had before their matches.
"I thought everybody did a good job considering I told them, literally, right before they walked on the court," Garrity said.
While Garrity was happy with the way her team played, she said the change would not have been made if Missouri had a chance to win the meet with a doubles sweep. The combinations of senior Brooke Chiller and freshman Cheryl Mallaiah and sophmore Christi Wagenaar and senior Julia Sidorova both won their matches.
Next up for the 'Hawks is a meet against nationally-ranked Minnesota. The No. 59 Golden Gophers are 6-3 on the season and, like Kansas, lost to Ohio State earlier this year.
The meet is at 11 a.m. Sunday at the Alvamar Tennis and Swim Club, 4120 Clinton Parkway.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The game was so simple for Nicole Kubik.
Kubik, Nebraska's star senior guard,
burned Kansas with 32 points, making
shots from everywhere on the
Municipal Auditorium floor in yesterday's Big 12 Conference tournament quarterfinal. The 80-67 win knocked the Jayhawks out of the tournament.
Nebraska's victory, its third this season against Kansas, increased its hopes of earning an NCAA bid, while Kansas, which dropped to 20-9, must wait for selection Sunday to see who its next opponent will be.
"Nebraska's been a challenge for us this year, particularly with their ability to drive and take the ball to the hole." Kansas coach Marian Washinoto said
Nebraska's quickness and ability to dribble penetrate wasn't a factor early in the game. Besides Kubik and her 18-point first half, no one else got involved in the 'Huskers' attack.
"Their defense pushed us out a little further on the floor than we normally are," said Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford. "We didn't show an awful lot of patience early in the game, and I think that is to Kansas' credit."
The Jayhawks held a 35-21 lead with 511 left despite having Pride on the bench. Pride, who was called for a technical foul after contesting a foul call,
played only seven minutes in the first half.
Picking up the slack was senior guard Suzi Raymant, who hit two three-point shots, and junior forward Jaclyn Johnson, who musced past 6-foot-5 center Casey Leonhardt on offense and finished with 20 points.
"They were bigger," Johnson said. "We have to use our quickness to get to the basket, and I think we outplayed them inside tonight, but it wasn't enough."
It wasn't enough partly because of Kubik, who scored eight of her 18 first-half points during a 16-6 Nebraska run. The Jayhawks only led 43-17 at half
After halftime, Pride, who finished with 14 points, kept Kansas close. Two of her free throws gave the Jayhawks a 56-55 lead with 11:06 to play.
"I felt that if we could get to halftime five or six points down, then we would be able to win." he said after the game.
time, but after trailing by as many as 14 points, the halftime score was an omen for Sanderford.
But Nebraska went on a 14-3 run and led by 11 with less than two minutes to play.
Even though the Jayhawks' next opponent is uncertain, Washington said, "It will be great to see someone new."

Boschee may be key to Kemper win
KU KU
Jeff Boschee, Kansas guard, has recently struggled to score. The Jayhawks are hopping Boschee will be able to step up his game today as the 'Hawks take on Kansas State in the Big 12 Tournament. Kansan file photo.
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kanson sportwriter
Need proof? Take into account all five games that Boschee has played in Kemper.
Put Jeff Boschee in Kemper Arena, and good things are likely to happen.
Earlier this season, he hit four of seven shots and scored in double-figures during Kansas' 71-60 win against St. Louis in the Sprint Shootout.
Last spring, Boschee was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 1999 Big 12 Tournament after helping lead Kansas to the title by averaging 14 points and hitting nine three-pointers in three games.
Before that, Bosche made his Kemper debut by playing 28 minutes in Kansas '65-55 win against Illinois in the 1998 Sprint Shootout.
It can't get much more encouraging than that for No. 24 Kansas as it prepares to defend its Big 12 Tournament title starting today at Kemper in Kansas City, Mo. The Jayhawks (22,8,1-5 Big 12) take on Kansas State at 2:20 p.m., needing four victories in four
That's five Boschse appearances in Kemmer and five Kansas victories.
"This is the first time we've ever played on Thursday, so that's going to be a little different," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "But we've put ourselves in this position by losing some games. If Bosche is making his jump shots, then we definitely look better."
The problem is that Boschee hasn't been making those jump shots lately. After opening the season hitting nine of his first 10 three-point attempts, Boschee has endured traumatic scoring droughts, including a 2-for-17 performance from the field against Iowa State, Feb. 16.
days to take home the title.
"My shot has struggled at times, but my confidence is really high," Boschee said. "It doesn't look as good on paper, but I've been working hard on defense."
Bosche is averaging 9.9 points per game this season, which is down from 10.9 points per game last season. His shooting percentage in Big 12 Conference games is also down from 36 to 31 percent.
Boschee and the rest of the Jayhawks are hoping to shoot lights out today against K-State (9,18-2,14 Big 12), a team that Kansas has already roughed up twice this season — 87-79 in Lawrence and
94-65 in Manhattan.
Kansas notes
Kansas holds an 18-game winning streak against the Wildcats.
Today's game will be the 137th of Nick Bradford's career, which will move him into a tie for 20th place in NCAA history. Former Kentucky guard Wayne Turner holds the NCAA record for most games played with 151.

Jayhawks hope 'final answer' is a Big 12 title
Get out the blue books Jayhawks and sharpen those pencils. Today is the first test of a four-part midterm, otherwise known as the Big 12 Tournament.
OK, so the first part is more of a quiz — an open-book quiz. It's the first question of Who wants to be a Millionaire, when Regis doesn't even bother with the dramatic pause. He just blurts out, "You got it," and we move on to the second round.
Assuming No. 24 Kansas doesn't flub up a gimme question like, 'Duck, Duck, ___', it should have no problem with the Kansas State Wildcats this afternoon at Kemper Arena. (But keep your fingers crossed Wildcat fans, they say beating a team for the 19th time in a row is always tough.)
The rest of the midterm, however, could be a bit tricky. Because in this game show, there are no more freebies. Waiting in the wings will be Oklahoma State (23-5), most likely followed by Iowa State (26-4) and Texas (22-7).
And if you've forgotted, the Jayhawks went 0-4 against those schools during the regular season. And those weren't half-court, bank-shot, buzzer-beating, "I can't-
believe we-just-beat-Kansas" upsets we're talking about. They were two second-half Cyclone romps, a 33-point embarrassment in Stillwater, and a Texas-sized dunk contest that Kansas was apparently invited to, but not allowed to participate, down in Austin.
Having the tournament just 40 miles from Lawrence has been a home-court advantage for the Jayhawks in the Big Eight and Big 12. It no doubt played a part in Kansas winning the first three Big 12 Tournaments, and influencing the Big 12 committee to vote that Kansas City share the tournament with Dallas in the future.
Luckily for coach Roy Williams and his freshman-led squad, they do get three lifelines at Kemper Arena.
Those raucous Jayhawk fans may have their work cut out for them, though, if they want to outdo Cyclone fans in a possible third-round match-up. You better believe thousands of them will be making the three-hour trip from Ames to see the first Iowa State men's basketball team to win a confer-

ence title since 1945 — when Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office.
IOWA State clinched the Big Six title that year with a 61-39 victory against Kansas. On a side note, Roosevelt died of a brain hemorrhage just 41 days later, but it is unknown whether he was still contemplating the Big Six basketball standings at the time.
2. 50-50 — In a single-elimination tournament there is a chance — albeit a small one
— that one or two of those tough answers might be eliminated. Like how does Kansas stop Marcus Fizer? Or how do the Jayhawks handle Chris Mihm and Gabe Monuke without a center — or at least one
who doesn't get his shots thrown off by guards?
After all, this is the Big 12 Conference where the phrase "any given night" usually applies. But let's be honest, the odds of a Colorado or Nebraska knocking off one of the front-runners isn't likely. The Jayhawks probably can't rely on the ol' 50-50.
3. Phone a friend — Calm down Jayhawk fans. Coach Williams will not be calling you from press row to figure out who he should be playing.
Williams will probably call on Drew Gooden — and all three freshman for that matter. He's been reluctant thus far to put the responsibility of leading his team on Gooden, pulling him after his frequent mental mistakes. But the study sessions are through, and it's time to leave the talent out there. After all, the final exam is just around the corner.
Will the freshman be able to carry the Jayhawks deep into two postseason tournaments?
That's the million-dollar question.

Softball team undefeated, blows away UMKC
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sports editor
By Mike Miller
Aggressiveness at the plate paid off for Kansas yesterday, as the softball team swept the University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2-0 and 4-3, in a windwhipped doubleheader in Kansas City, Mo.
The Jayhawks have yet to lose to the Kangaroos, improving their all-time record against UMKC to 8-0, while collecting 16 hits in the two-game set.
"As a team we played much more aggressively today," said shortstop Christy McPhail. "We all hit the ball a lot better."
Kansas, 10-11 overall, pounded Kangaroo pitcher Erin Brown for seven hits and four runs in 3 2/3 innings in the second game. Catcher Leah Tabb was three for four, including two doubles, while pitcher Melanie DeWinter held the Kangaroos scoreless until the sixth inning.
"The big thing today was that we swung the bats better, Tabb and McPhail especially," said coach Tracy Bunge. "But McPhail made some phenomenal defensive plays that just saved us in the second game."
McPhail was the star in the first game, with a double, triple and an RBI. Tabb connected on a solo home run in the sixth inning, which was more than enough for pitcher Sarah Clopton. She went the distance, allowing only five hits and one walk, while striking out seven.
The 'Hawks had to deal with 40 mph winds, which made fielding difficult.
"It was like a three-ring circus out there trying to catch the ball," Bunge said.
Nagging injuries to Clopton and center fielder and last year's team MVP Shelly Musser made things tough on Kansas, as well. Clopton has had lower-back problems, and Musser still is recovering from a third-degree concussion two weeks ago. Clopton's stamina pleased Bunge, and Muszer played two innings to try and ease back into the season.
Kansas travels to Knoxville, Tenn., for the Lady Vol Invitational this weekend. The 'Hawks play six games in three days, but their three-game winning streak gives McPhail some encouragement.
"We just need to have fun and play hard this weekend," she said. "We still haven't played to our capabilities, so that is our goal going into the weekend."

THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Rock Chalk Edition

Rock Chalk goes 'Out of Focus'
Tickets are still available for 2 shows
WWW.KANSAN.COM
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Things will be a little "Out of Focus" tonight at the Lied Center as 300 college students kick off the first of three Rock Chalk Revue programs.
The revue is a University-wide philanthropy project that makes a little song and dance go a long way in the Lawrence community.
Five sororities and five fraternities paired together last spring and have been preparing 20-minute skits that they will perform at each of the three programs. The nearly 60 cast members in each group are responsible for providing the skit, costumes and sets for their performance, said Marie Mossberger, Leawood senior and executive director of the show.
Lori Krug, Marina Del Rey, Calif., senior and the revue's executive producer, said the competition among the groups had made the show better each year.
"The push to be the best and look the best on stage makes the competition all the more intense," Krug said. "There is a rivalry to be the best, but there is camaraderie in that they work together to make one big show."
Together, the performers create an event of music, song and dance centered around this year's "Out of Focus" theme.
Krug said that there was much more to the night than most people thought.
"It's not just girls on stage dancing," Krug said. "The guys are right there doing everything that the girls are

doing, and that equality makes the night a lot more fun."
All proceeds from the show will go to the Douglas County United Way. Last year's revue raised about $37,000, and Mossberger said she hoped to raise more this year.
The sorority and fraternity pairs performing are Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon, Delta Gamma and Beta Theta Pi, Gamma Pi Beta and Delta Upsilon, Kappa Alpha Theta and Phi Delta Theta, and Phi Beta Phi and Phi Gamma Delta.
MELISSA MAYER
"We had 12 different pairs try out," Mossberger said. "But only the top five get to perform."
Although the revue is open to groups from all living organizations, greek groups were the only groups who tried out this year. Mossberger said.

Theme decision not taken lightly
Advisory board considers 500 ideas before choosing
By Lauren Brandenburg
Kansan correspondent
It is no snap decision. This year's theme, 'Out of Focus,' was chosen from among about 500 proposed ideas, said the revue's executive director Marie Mossberger. Leawood senior.
"It takes three to four hours to figure it out," he said. "We start
Before anyone can write a script, try out for the show, or begin time-consuming rehearsals, the Rock Chalk Revue advisory board must decide the show's theme.
Jamie Kaplan, executive assistant director and St. Paul, Minn., sophomore, said the theme needed to be something the directors could have fun with.
throwing ideas out, and people shoot some down and suggest some new ones."
He said the board picked 'Out of Focus' because it was versatile.
"Different people on the board looked for different things," he said. "I looked for something simple — not too long. About the last few years there have been three-word themes. I don't look for anything too complicated, and I look for something you can play with."
One of the themes that 'Out of Focus' competed with, 'Little Black Box,' would have forced all the performances to share at least one element.
"That would mean that any show would have to have a little black box on stage, and that wasn't very original." Mossberger said. "We wanted something that could be taken in any light."
"You can take the literal meaning of focus, you can make focus a place, or you can have focus be a substance or an object," said Kaplan. "Some of the groups get very creative with the theme and how it plays a role in their show."
The directors thought 'Out of Focus' allowed the skits to have more original interpretation.
Members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon production said that for them, getting "out of focus" was not a positive thing.
"The show is based on a duel between two bikers, and there is inevitably a bike race," said Katie Eagan, director for Kappa Kappa Gamma and Tulsa, Okla, junior. "The first guy to get out of focus is the first guy to crash and burn, so you don't want to get out of focus in our show."
The decision to interpret the theme this way came after many ideas and discussion, Eagan said. After coming up with the biker idea, the group decided how to interpret the theme in its show.

Competition stiff for five positions in the 51st revue
By Kara Ryckman
Kansan correspondent
The tension and excitement in the air almost suffocates the participants. Behind the tightly drawn curtains, cowboys and pirates frantically run around, applying that extra coat of lipstick and murmuring their tongue-tied lines.
Five minutes to show time — and the packed house at the Lied Center is a steady hum of whispers and curiosity about the production that will unfold.
After six months of planning and practicing, the finish line is in sight. Lights! Camera! Action!
Since the first curtain rose 51 years ago, the Rock Chalk Revue has been a tradition at the University of Kansas. It has matured in both size and popularity, and the intent of the show has grown too — the revue is focused toward a community service event and a full-blown Broadway performance.
Fraternity and sorority chapters that wish to participate in the revue must win their partner for the following spring by serenading a house they want to team up with. Each group then chooses a directing staff of four to 10 people between the two chapters who create, design and choreograph the entry.
The name of the revue is announced by the Rock Chalk board of judges in early September. Each week, the judges require the houses to turn in a portion of the final product.
Courtney Cullor, Fort Scott senior, knows the experience well. She's in her second year as a Rock Chalk director for Kappa Alpha Theta.
"We would get together every night for 2 to 3 hours," she said.
"Time-wise, you have to be organized and set an agenda, because you never get a break from the weekly deadlines."
The deadlines are set to help the directing staffs keep up with the amount of material that must be submitted two months later — including a plot summary, character sketches, set design, technical cues, original musical score and a studio-recording.
"We had no clue how to do most of technical things, so we had to get a hold of people who did. It was a real learning process," Cullor said.
The judges are University graduates who have been out of school for at least 10 years. They are responsible for narrowing the 13 entrants down to five that will be in the show.
Once the final shows are completed, the directors are interviewed and perform a portion of their show for the judges. Weeks later, the five qualifying groups are announced.
Despite the magnitude of the task, Cullor said she wouldn't change any part of the reve.
"It's so much fun," she said. "You get to know a lot of people and the break from school is nice."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 9). You could learn more than you believe possible this year. Your attention span deficit is cured! Consider your past in March, but don't be slowed down by it. In April, move quickly to advance in your career. Set up a routine for learning in May, and then stick to it. Work to upgrade skills for more than the money in August. Your partner is your best coach in September. There's a test in December. If you've studied, you'll pass with flying colors. Let an old wound heal in February.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day. O the most challenging.
Aries: Today is a 7. Do you have something another person needs, and are you willing to trade? A good deal is close at hand. Watch for it. Don't believe a friend who doesn't understand the whole story. You're the best judge of whether or not this will work.
Taurus: Today is a 7. The moon is joining Jupiter in your sign. This is good for you. Jupiter means abundance, so what do you want? You're about to be validated. Others will finally realize you were right all along.
Gemini: Today is a 7. You'll have good luck today if you play by the rules. In other words, the harder you work, the luckier you'll get. Make a commitment, and you'll push things in the right direction.
- Cancer: Today is a 7. You and your friends can accomplish an important task. Work's involved, but that's OK. Once you decide on the rules and regulations you're going to follow, the rest should be easy.
Leo: Today is a 6. You could be quite successful today, especially if you follow orders. That's not easy since you'd rather give them. You can do it, though, and right now it's a good idea. Don't sign anything without reading it first.
Virgo: Today is a 7. If you have a complaint, especially regarding a work-related matter, relax. Talk it over, and the other person will probably see the logic of your argument. Do your homework first so you will have all of the facts on your side.
Libra: Today is a 7. You're lucky regarding money today, especially if you want it for education or books. You'll be able to acquire the tools you need, too. Don't spend more than you can expect to make back in the next few years. That's counter productive.
Scorpio: Today is an 8. This is a good day to dis cuss a partnership agreement. You can win, and so can the person who's most important to you. The others might have to do without, but that's OK. Works for you anyway, right?
Sagittarius: Today is a 7. You have to play by the rules, but if you do, you can have what you're after. You want to do things your way, however. You can sure make it easier, however, by going along with what's required.
Capricorn: Today is an 8. It won't take many words to get your meaning across. You're being judged more by what you do than what you say, anyway. Don't fall for one who makes big promises, but doesn't deliver.
P
Aquarius: Today is a 7. Home is where the heart is, and that's where you should be, too. Trouble is, you'd like to be just about anyplace else. If you're struggling with a tough household project, relax. If you stop fighting it, cleaning up a big mess could be relatively easy.

Pisces: Today is an 8. Set up a structure, and you'll achieve what you want. This could help you become more successful in your career, too. There's a lot to do, that's for sure. That's why you need to set priorities first.

Rock Chalk Revue is open to any living organization, but the revue has been traditionally a greek-oriented event with sorority and fraternity members constituting most of the show's performers.

Throughout its 51-year history, residence and scholarship hall participation has been intermittent. The last time non-greek organizations were involved in the performance was 1990 when Battenfeld and Watkins Scholarship Halls were awarded best show.
Residents of Hashinger Hall performed in 1978 and 1973 and residents of McCollum Hall performed in 1966. Corbin Hall residents took the stage in 1957.

"Basically nobody came forward this year with an interest in organizing for the event," said Sarah Crumrine, president of the All Scholarship Hall Council and Olathe junior. "Also, it is too expensive. We'd rather spend the money on social activities or other community service programs."
Auditions for Rock Chalk can be pricey and intense ordeals. Groups were not required to spend a certain amount of money, but quality productions generally were matched with high price tags.
Josh Burdette, president of the Association of University Residence Halls and Belle Plaine senior, said the organization spent between $2,000 and $3,000 three years ago when it applied.
Rock Chalk, agreed that it was expensive to triv out.
Lori Krug, executive producer of
"We don't set a limit," she said of the price. "Totally it is about $1,000."
Groups were kept from making their tapes too extravagant because they were required to use the same recording studio. Krug said.
After notebooks were submitted, the Rock Chalk audition process concludes with the judges interviewing the groups.
"I think there should be a spending limit, but its hard to say that to groups that do their own fund-raising," Krug said.
"We can't afford Rock Chalk right now," she said. "To increase participation, they should have a limit as to how much you can spend."
Crumrime said the lack of a spending limit eliminated some of the nongreek organizations from participating.
Krug said she might talk to resident assistants about participation next year in order to recruit more nongreeks.
Burdette said the problem was not a lack of financial resources.
"Part of the reason it's hard for us to be in the show is because we start new every year," he said. "Last year we had signs up, but we didn't have much of a turnout."
Rock Chalk Revue proves expensive for participants
Groups wrestle with costs
By Kate Williams
Kansan corresponden
Building a pirate ship to fit on the Lied Center stage isn't cheap.
Marie Mossberger, Leawood senior and Rock Chalk executive director, said that there are no regulations as to how much houses could spend. Most building materials for the show are donated but even so, the average cost of each show often reaches $5,000.
Amy Henderson, Topeka junior and Rock Chalk director for Kappa Alpha Theta, said that the construction of a ship was one of the biggest costs that her chapter faced in producing its portion of Rock Chalk Revue.
Henderson said that they also were able to save money by having alumnae help make the costumes and by having cast members buy most of their own individual make-up.
Kappa Alpha Theta and Phi Delta Theta received much of the wood required from donations, but Henderson still estimates that her house spent $1,800.
"I think that Phi Delt spent about as much as we did," she said. "If we hadn't have been able to get so much donated, it probably would have cost us twice as much."
"We try to make sure that everyone spends about the same amount on tapes and stuff," she
said. "But as far as the show goes, they can spend as much as they have."
Most groups have money for Rock Chalk allotted into their budgets, and fraternity and sorority alumni often will donate money to help offset the costs.
"For my house, I'm a Chi Omega, and we haven't gotten in for several years." Mossberger said. "So our budget just keeps growing."
"We have a few corporate sponsors, and we do raise some money through program ads that we sell," Bezdek said. "But mainly it's all from ticket sales."
Aside from the costs for each individual set, there is also a lot of money spent on the overall production. Rock Chalk business director Angie Bedek, Topeka senior, said that renting the Lied Center was the biggest cost.
"That alone is about $15,000," she said.
Last fall, Rock Chalk officials held a drawing and karaoke contest to raise money, with each event making about $1,500. Bezdek said that another drawing was planned for this spring.
As an organization, Rock Chalk itself has no money. The payment for the Lied Center and the printing of the program — which itself costs about $8,000 — is all financed through ticket sales.
Henderson said her chapter did not hold any fund-raisers, but she wished it had.
"We thought of some really cool things that we could have done if we'd had more money," she said. "But hindsight is always better than foresight."
Advisory board sets its sights on versatility

"We put the actual interpretation of Out of Focus off until the very end." Eagan said.

At that point, it was time to actually put a skit together in order to try out. After deciding on the idea, the group started making up characters, songs, set design, plot and the story, Eagan said. All these elements were put together in the notebook each team submitted for the advisory board to review. The board chose the revue's participants based on these notebooks.

should be the goal of Rock Chalk. It should be to have everyone together on stage having fun. That's the way we look at it."
Kaplan said that in addition to having fun with the theme, everyone wanted the show to be at least as good as the year before. He said the revue carried tradition and the previous year was always a means for comparison.
"We do have something to live up to," Kaplan said. "Last year was a great show."
Writers focus on productions
Students say hard work rewarded when ideas hit Lied Center's stage

The opening night performances of tonight's Rock Chalk Revue are the culmination of a semester and a half's work. For a few people in each group, the end will be both a godsend and a letdown.
"The only thing I've really had time for besides Rock Chalk is to study," said Ryan Robinson, one of the directors for the Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Alpha Theta group and Arlington Heights, Ill., senior.
Gina Wilson, one of the directors for the Delta Gamma and Beta Theta Pi show and Parsons sophomore, said her group had worked on its performance every day since the fall semester.
Work on performances for the revue began last fall when the theme "Out of Focus" was announced by the Rock Chalk Revue committee.
"The writing probably took at least half of last semester," Wilson said. "That included writing the words to the music and putting all the work together in the notebooks."
Brad Eisel, one of the directors in the Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Alpha Theta group and Wichita sophomore, said that after a certain point things went smoothly.
"When you get the plotof the story, the actual lyrics to the song and the other

stuff came pretty quickly," he said. But plots and song lyrics weren't the only things that groups were working on.
Eisel said he and others from his group had invested several hours each week working to get the group's skit ready.
"I'm looking forward to the performance and being on stage," he said.
Though the directors completed most of the preliminary work last semester, the workload increased this semester to include no more than 60 members in each group.
"We have 29 guys and 31 girls in our group." Elisel said.
All of the work pays off, he said.
"You actually learn to manage your time a lot more," Eisel said. "When myself or the other directors have a test, the directors understand and cover for each."
None of the directors said they were nervous, and all said they were confident their groups would perform well.
"I know our stuff will be great," Wilson said.

The theme for this year's Rock Chalk Revue may be "Out of Focus," but that would hardly describe Marie Mossberger, Leawood senior, who is the revue's executive director.
Twelve groups applied for this year's revue and Mossberger was in charge of selecting five acts for the show, each with two groups in the act. Each skit will be about 25 minutes long. To involve even more people, revue directors held open tryouts for preshow entertainment, Mossberger said.
"This year is a predominantly Greek event even though we would like to see involvement from the non-Greek community," Mossberger said.
Mossberger said. As a junior in 1999, Mossberger had a similar role, but it was on a smaller scale.
"Last year I was the director for the Chi Omega skit and I put together one notebook. This year I am in charge of all five skits," Mossberzer said.
Mossberger has been attending daily Rock Chalk practices from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. where she monitors each group's progress with their scripts and choreography, making sure they meet their deadlines.
Mossberger, who has found being in charge of five skits rather than one is more difficult, said that the revue was mostly a musical and drama production that was suitable for a family audience.
Rock Chalk Revue was started by Roy Wonder who took the idea for a
variety show from Kansas State University.
"To participate in the Rock Chalk Revue is a goal for most greek organizations on campus; they have their skits planned by November when 10 judges listen to the proposed skits for about 15 minutes." Mossberger said.
The show includes the pairing of 10 greek organizations: Gamma Phi Beta and Delta Upsilon; Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Alpha Theta; Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon; Pi Beta Phi and Phi Delta Gamma; and Beta Theta Pi and Delta Gamma. In addition to the hour-long, weekday practices, each pair has 90-minute practice sessions on Satursdays and Sundays.
While Mossberger thought that the show was basically geared
toward family and friends of the participants, she also thought that it would attract some area alumni.
Lillian Ruggles, the co-community service director for the revue and Wichita senior, said the organization was expecting to make a large donation to the United Way this year through ticket sales and fundraising efforts.
Mossberger, an elementary education major, thought that her experience as an executive director would help in her professional life.
The ticket prices are $10 tonight and $13 tomorrow. Saturday's show is already sold out.
"Directing Rock Chalk Revue was a good life experience, and although I'll be sad when it is over. I have learned a lot about people in general," Mossberger said.
What is that thing again?

Rock Chalk Revue requires a huge time commitment for the students involved.
The commitment is at least 10 to 15 hours a week, said Sara Rock, Lenexa sophomore and a member of Gamma Phi Beta's revue cast with Delta
"I had to quit my job because the practices take up so much time and the times were always changing," Rock said.
For participants, practices were every weekday for one hour, one and a half hours on the weekends. Sometimes groups had a couple of extra song practices during the week.
Members of the participating chapters also spend a large amount of time performing community service.
There are no actual requirements for the groups that participate, said Lillian Ruggles, Wichita senior and coordinator of community service for the revue.
"It's organized so that there are certain categories of awards that the
house can win for a certain amount of community service," Rugges said.
The groups need at least nine hours per member for a bronze award, at least 11 hours for a silver award, and at least 13 for a gold award. The amount of community service is measured from the United Way Day of Caring on Sept. 12 to March 2, the week
before the revue.
Members of the cast and crew as well as other members of the house participate in community service hours.
"Everyone tries to do the same amount, and we would all go that extra mile if we needed to," Rock said. She said Gamma Phi Beta was going for the gold award.

Rock Chalk kicks off United Way's year
Show's revenue helps finance programs in Lawrence area
by Michael Sudhalter Kansan Correspondent
rock Chalk Revue is a highlight of the spring semester for many students, alumni and the United Way of Douglas County. The Rock Chalk Revue has been donating its ticket proceeds to the United Way of Douglas County, formerly known as the Lawrence United Fund, since 1983.
The United Way uses the donation to help provide funding for 29 service programs, including the Boys and Girls Club, Hospice care, the Rape Victim Survivors Service and the Big Brothers organization, said Jo Bryant, executive director for the United Way of Douglas County.
"Last year we gave a donation of $37,000, and we are expecting to raise between $35,000 and $40,000 this year," said Angie Bezdek, business manager for revue and Topeka senior.
"The Rock Chalk donation is the first and largest donation of the year for our organization, it is a huge kickoff event for us," said Bryant.
Bryant said the total donations in 1999 came to $1.34 million dollars for the Douglas County branch.
In addition to the Rock Chalk donation, the participating fraternities, sororities and other houses provide community service for organizations sponsored by the United Way.
"The amount of community service done is a competitive matter among groups participating," Bryant said.
Lillian Ruggles, Wichita senior, is the community service co-coordinator for Rock Chalk Revue. Ruggles coordinated community service projects for the groups and met with representatives every two weeks and kept a tally of hours worked.
This year participants contributed 28,000 hours of community service.
"All of the community service is done here in Douglas County." Rugles said.
The community service requirement was added in 1991. Ruggles provided assistance to groups that needed help deciding which community service projects to work on.
Rock Chalk Revue raises money for the United Way to conduct its programs and enacts those programs through community service.
"A lot of work that people don't know about goes into Rock Chalk. The donation that the show makes to United Way is a kickoff something they really count on," Bezdek said.

While this year's Rock Chalk Revue may seem like all fun and games to the outsider, the men and women of the 10 Greek houses represented in the revue know better.
That's not to say that they don't have a good time at rehearsals. That's not to say they mind the cleanup after the production. But it's the fines that put a damper on some of the fun.
Marie Mossberger, executive director for Rock Chalk, is in charge of levying the fines. She said she didn't enjoy issuing fines anymore than the houses enjoyed receiving them.
"They (the cast and crew) know I have to do it, and they really don't complain too much about the fines because they know its for them," said Mossberger, a Leawood senior. "It's to keep them motivated."
Chalk participants have failed to clean the dressing rooms or rehearsal areas. However, Mossberger said that almost all of the fines imposed were a result of a certain percentage of cast members failing to show up to required practices. When more than 10 percent of the cast is absent, the chapter is assigned a $200 fine.
Cast members with tests, doctor appointments or work are excused from practice, Mossberger said. If members don't have an excuse, they are required to attend.
"It's pretty hard to get stuff done when we don't have all our cast there," said Max Carr, Beta Theta Pi member and Rock Chalk director. "Those people have to bear the cost of their actions, though."
Mossberger said the houses divided the fine among the people missing. Katie Eagan, Kappa Kappa Gamma member and Rock Chalk director, said once her chapter just barely had 10 percent of the cast missing. Eagan said that after the fine was split among
"It's pretty hard to get stuff done when we don't have all our cast there. Those people have to bear the cost of their actions, though."
Max Carr Rock Chalk director
the people missing, it came to $35 per person.
She said that the fine for chewing gum was a bit harsh. She also said she never had seen the rule enforced.
"I think most of the fines are justified, but $35 is a lot of money to a college student who usually doesn't have a lot of money to begin with," said Eagan, a Tulsa, Okla., junior.
Delta Gamma member and Rock Chalk director Jennifer Pittford had a different take on fines.
"Of course I think that some of the rules are uncalled for," Pittsford, a Houston junior, said. "The gum rule is pretty tough, but I understand that we have to keep the place we practice in clean. There's a reason for all of the fines, so I do understand why they exist."
The fines imposed during Rock Chalk rehearsals, which total about $2,000, go to United Way. However, Mossberger is quick to point out that is not the reason the fines were created.
"We don't do it for that reason. It's just kind of a bonus for United Way," she said. "The reason we do it is to make sure people show up and do what they're supposed to do."
Mossberger also said that all of the 10 participating houses had been assigned fines at least once. Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and Phi Delta Theta fraternity have been fined the least, Mossberger said. The pair has only been fined once for attendance reasons.

Greek, non-Greek students set sights on pre-Rock Chalk performances
Rv Kate Williams
Kansan correspondent
The Pioneer Room at the Burge Union has never seen so much action — on Feb. 23, it played host to a baton twirler, vocal soloists and bands for the Rock Chalk Revue opening act try-outs.
The auditions were held to find entertainers to perform for ten minutes during the audience seating at the Revue.
Jamie Guy, St. Paul, Minn., junior and Rock Chalk assistant executive director, said that he and the two other judges were looking for an entertainer, Greek or non-Greek, who would be able to maintain a high energy level throughout their performance.
"We really just look for someone who will be able to get people into the spirit of things before the show," he said.
Lori Krug, Marina Del Rev, Calif., senior and Rock Chalk executive producer, agreed.
"The most important thing that we look for is a someone that will have enough confidence to perform while people are moving around and taking their seats."
she said.
Auditioners probably have had previous experience on stage they were required to fill out an information sheet on their past honors and performance experience.
Seven acts auditioned — five more than last year — and judges picked two or three acts for the show.
Last year's acts, a solo vocalist, a band and a hip-hop dance troupe took the stage before the Revue started.
"We keep in mind what we think will be appropriate for our audience, and also try to look for a variety of different acts," said Ashley Rigby, Lee's Summit, Mo., senior and Rock Chalk opening act choreographer.
Many of the students who auditioned for different reasons.
Thomas Franklin Independence senior, auditioned this year because he wanted to be a part of the Rock Chalk tradition.
"My house isn't in it this year, and since I'm a senior, I knew that this would be the last chance that I would have to get involved
with the show." he said.
Chad Hale, Topeka junior, was part of the four-person student band, D-10, that auditioned. The band has been together for about a year, has played many venues in Lawrence and Kansas City, and has released a CD.
"We wanted to audition for this because it was a chance to play for such a good cause," Hale said. "Plus, playing at the Lied Center would be incredible. Whether it's three or 300 people, you're still nervous. We play a lot of original stuff, music that people haven't heard before, so we also don't know what people are going to think."
D-10 was selected to open on Friday and Saturday night, and a guitar act of Rick Unruh and Kevin Bernstein will open on Thursday night.
The judges said they were happy with their selections.
"We thought that for the kind of audience we expect, these two acts would be the best," Krug said. "They were a good representation of the students and also both very professional."

Delta Gamma and Beta Theta Pi Under the bright sun on the ancient Egyptian village of Azhar, a tale of deception, love and redemption unfolds. All is calm until Miracules the Magnificent, a trickster, and his traveling assistants burst onto the scene.
Miracules begins performing fantastic magic, but Alexandria, who is responsible for the town's welfare, discovers that he merely uses his "magic" as distraction for his assistants to steal from the villagers. He is caught, and to make up for his wrongdoing, Miracules vows to prove his magic by making a statue inside the ancient temple disappear. Can he do it? The fate of Miracules, the village and Alexandria will be determined in this show of magic and mystery.

The townspeople must collect 500 gold pieces to save their children's lives. Captain Kilroy holds the adolescents' hostage on his ship.

The pirates know Kilroy's misdeed will curse them all, yet they lack the gumption to stand up to him. Come sail the high seas to find out whether the captives will return home and whether the pirates will stand up to the captain.

Kansan staff writer
Do you think tuition increases are bogus? Should alcohol be sold at sporting events? Are academics or athletics more important?
With a personal computer and a little imagination, you can make those decisions. Reduce tuition to a flat fee of $49.99. Sell Coors Light at Allen Fieldhouse. And maybe even send the football team packing in favor of more National Merit Scholars.
In Virtual U, a simulation game modeled after SimCity, you are the chancellor of your own university.
Two members of the University of Kansas community wrote the user's guide included with the game — Neil Salkind, professor of psychology and human development and family life, and Terese Rainwater, 1999 KU graduate.
"Virtual U is a simulation, not entirely like a game," Salkind said. "It's a game like SimCity is a game, but SimCity is a simulation, too. It's not like Duke Nukem or anything like that."
Rainwater, who received a Ph.D in education with a concentration in higher education, said the game was complex
"What Neil and I did was write a manual and strategy guide," Rainwater said. "Most video game guides tell you how to win. This one tells you how to get a better score."
Players manage the university's affairs, including its budget, faculty and athletic teams. They also determine tuition cost and how much financial aid will be given. For instance, if a player decides to give more merit-based aid, the amount of need-based aid will be reduced.
If a player decides to hire more faculty to raise the institution's academic rating, the player has to compensate with more buildings, such as parking garages.

New coalition wants beer to flow at football games
By Erinn R. Barbom
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A new coalition is out to break the rules of Student Senate politics.
The Resume Builders are not interested in getting a lot of votes at the polls in April. They just want to make students laugh
Dave Dieterich, Overland Park junior and coalition leader, said he didn't believe in what Senate tried to accomplish.
"The best thing it does is build people's resumes." Dieterich said. "We're being honest. As long as it makes a couple people laugh, that's what's important."
The coalition has about 25 students running for office, both greeks and nongreeks, he said.
Dietierch said the coalition did not want new rules implemented at the University of Kansas. Moreover, he said the coalition would like to see drinking allowed at football games.
Luke Atkinson, Leaward junior, is the coalition's candidate for president.
Atkinson said that if he won, he would expect to have a good-looking resume.
"I am so bored with my time right now," Atkinson said. "We just got together one night and said, 'What the hell?'"
DANIEL MORGAN
Getting beer to flow at Memorial Stadium might be realistic if surrounded with
Atkinson: Presidential candidate for the Resume Builders
the right attitude, Atkinson said, but getting rid of Chancellor Robert Hemenway would be the icing on the cake.
The chancellor doesn't have many supporters in the Resume Builders, which is why the coalition wants to see him removed from his position. Atkinson said.
"We haven't really enjoyed him," he said. "We find him a little pompous."
The idea for the coalition has been an ongoing joke for about a year now, Dieterich said. Although he has no hostility toward Senate, he said he didn't always agree with the way Senate was run. "I'm sort of worried they won't accept us, but I don't see why we can't work together." Dieterich said.

SENATE CANDIDATES

Leawood junior, and David Jack,
Andover junior
Students First: Sam MacRoberts, Leawood junior , and Carrie Denebusch. Columbus iwi
United Students: Ben Walker, Hutchinson junior, and Marlon Marshall. St. Louis junior
David Jack, Andover junior and coalition member, is running on the same ticket with Atkinson for vice president. He said getting petitions signed was an interesting experience.
Even though the coalition started out as a joke, Jack said he was serious about winning.
"We don't want to see students' social lives controlled." Jack said.
"A lot of people think it's funny," Jack said. "Occasionally, someone won't sign, and they'll get mad and just think we're making a koke of it."

Construction no longer blocks lot 53 parking
After being blocked by construction equipment for nearly three months, lot 53, Mississippi Street's angle parking between the 11th Street and the Spencer Museum of Art, is open.
The lot has been used as a holding area for trucks carrying concrete beams for the new parking garage. It has been closed since that stage of construction began during fall finals, said Roger Harmon, construction manager at Design and Construction Management.
The lot was scheduled to open March 1, but minor rain delays in construction pushed the date back.
Construction on the $10 million dollar parking garage, contracted by The Law Co. Inc. of Wichita, started last June and is scheduled to be completed before fall classes begin.

Senate treasurer resigns because of lack of time
Student Senate treasurer Patrick McGiffert resigned Feb. 5. He was replaced by assistant treasurer Greg Wiley.
"Patrick did an excellent job, and it was unfortunate that he had to resign," said Korb Maxwell, student body president.
McGiffert said he resigned because he did not have enough time to devote to the position.
Robert Page, associate director of multicultural affairs, met with McGiffert weekly. Page said McGiffert might have been overwhelmed by the job at first but that he became more comfortable with the position.
"Patrick was very helpful with me towards working with the Black Student Union," Page said.
McGiffert said he would not respond to rumors as to why he quit.
He became treasurer in April after serving as assistant treasurer last year.

McCain, Bradley bow out of presidential campaign
WASHINGTON — Falling as swiftly as they soared, John McCain and Bill Bradley abandoned their presidential races yesterday and chided their triumphant rivals on the way out.
"Millions of Americans have rallied to our banner," McCain said as both candidates sought to leverage the support they had earned.
The Arizona senator pledged to press his case for political reform and warned that Republicans will slip into the mists of history without it. McCain, who pulled swarms of Democrats and independ-
dents into GOP contests, offered nominee-in-waiting George W. Bush his "best wishes" — but not his endorsement.
An hour before McCain bowed out, Bradley told reporters he would support Vice President Al Gore, he also accused his fellow Democrat of "distortions" in their primary fight.
M.
Bradley: Said he would support Gore's campaign
JOHN M. BROWN
"I hope that he will run a better campaign in the general election," said the former New Jersey senator, who was unable to win any primary or caucus
McCain: Gave Bush "best wishes" but not an endorsement
Still, it was a triumphant day for the political establishment that backed Bush and Gore, both of whom van-quished their rivals after stiff challenges. "When you do battle with entrenched power, it's very difficult," Bradley said.
Within minutes of McCain's announcement, Bush's team was reaching out to McCain intermediaries in an effort to mend fences.
The rivals themselves spoke briefly by telephone but settled nothing.
BALTIMORE — A man suspected of killing three people while kidnapping his estranged girlfriend was at large yesterday after a shooting rampage in which he shot three other people, one of whom later died.
Man kidnaps girlfriend goes on shooting spree
The girlfriend escaped and ran to a police cruiser at the El-Rich Motel, where her alleged abductor, Joseph Palczynski, 31, brought her at about 11 p.m. Wednesday. She was questioned by police overnight.
Palczynski's girlfriend, Tracy Whitehead, told police that the two weapons were the only guns he was carrying, said Maj. Brian Upperque, a Baltimore County Police representative.
Early yesterday, a room-by-room search of the motel didn't turn up the suspect. Police said they found an automatic rifle and a pistol-grip shotgun believed to have been used in Tuesday's slavings.
Small-plane collision kills four in Florida
Police also said they believed Palczynski was on foot because they had the stolen car he drove to the motel and there were no other reports of cars stolen in the area.
BRADENTON, Fla. — Two small planes collided on a runway in a huge fireball yesterday, killing all four people on board
The cause of the accident was under investigation.
The single-engine planes, a Cessna 152 and a Cessna 172, carried two people each. No one on the ground was hurt.
"There was a big fire, so everyone went out there," said Rosalie Radtke, a secretary at a company a quarter-mile from Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. "All the guys saw was a big ball of fire."
An air traffic controller had cleared one of the planes for takeoff, said Pat Cariso, a representative for the National Transportation Safety Board in Washington. At the same time, the pilot of the other plane was granted permission to position his aircraft and hold on the same runway.
What happened next was not immediately clear. Cariseo said.
Investigators were interviewing six witnesses, some of whom gave conflicting statements, Bristow said.
Sheriff's representative Dave Bristow said there was a tremendous impact followed by tremendous fire. One plane was heavily damaged, and there was almost nothing left of the other aircraft, he said.
Firefighter allegedly killed wife and three colleagues
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis was a city in mowing yesterday — flags were at half-staff, bouquets of flowers were placed on fire hall steps, and firefighters and law officers wore black bands across their badges.
All were in memory of two firefighters and a sheriff's deputy who were slain Wednesday — allegedly by one of their comrades, firefighter Fred Williams — in a rampage that has angered and saddened this Mississippi River city.
Williams, 41, ambushed the firefighters as they arrived to fight a blaze at his home, authorities said. Williams' wife, Stacey, was found shot to death in the garage.
Investigators said they were still looking for a motive. They were trying to determine whether Williams set the fire to lure firefighters to the home or to cover up his wife's death. It also was unclear whether Williams made the 911 call to report the fire, Police Director Walter Crews said.
Williams, a sixyear veteran of the Fire Department, was shot in the groin by a police officer when he refused to put down his weapon, authorities said. Williams was under police guard at a hospital in critical condition. Authorities plan to charge him today but did not give specifics.

Hire,fire，build，destroy all with a point and a click

Moreover, players also receive a yearly review from the University Board.
"The things that happen in this game are gotten from situations of actual universities," Salkind said.
The information used in the game came from the Institute of Post-Secondary Education Database, which includes 1,500 to 2,000 universities. Rainwater said.
The game can be played two different ways, Salkind said.
In the scenario game, players are presented with one of 10 challenges to remedy, such as eliminating a budget deficit without losing academic quality.
In the custom game, players are given a general outline of their university and gain points for improving the school.
The dynamics and lifelike situations are the best part of the game, Salkind said.
"There are so many variables in the game," he said. "If you do one thing to affect something, everything will be affected."
Players can control almost every aspect of the university, from where students are recruited and the football team's record to the criteria for hiring faculty.
Sometimes, however, the player can't prevent something bad from popping up on the screen.
"It might say that the football team is being investigated by the NCAA and suits are pending," he said.
The game was developed by William F. Massy, a higher education researcher at Stanford University.
"He has a deep understanding of mathematical models for running a university," Salkind said.
Salkind said he thought the game would be attractive to students studying higher education and to administrators.
University administrators said they had not heard much of the new game and didn't know if it would be used as a tool for faculty and staff.
"I think it will be a huge success," he said.
"For those students wanting to know more about higher education, this is a great tool. Administrators also should like it."
"I really don't know what to think of it," said Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services. "I don't really know if we have a person in charge of education for administrators."
Salkind has a copy of the game and has been playing it, but he said that he had no aspirations of becoming an administrator.
ON THE RECORD
Rainwater said she was getting better at the game and keeping her options open
"One of the things I studied was higher education," she said. "But I want to teach higher education, too."
The game will be released in early April by Enligh Software. The administrative version will sell for $129, and the game version is priced at $60, said Ben Sawyer, project manager.

Revue performers travel through time, place
Opening night show draws laughs, applause
By Jessie Mever
By Jessie Meyer writer kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Cowboys, hot rods, Egyptians, baseball players and pirates brought a bit of a blur to the Lied Center at the 51st Rock Chalk Revue last night.
Their song-and-dance skits related to this year's "Out of Focus" theme and came to life with elaborate sets and intricate costumes. When all was said and done, the cast members said they were pleased with the performances and ready to focus on the next two shows.
"It's really neat to see something that you have worked so long and so hard on come to life," said Maggie Bauer, Wichita junior.
Bauer, who performed in the first skit, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon's "Quit Hoggin' the Road," said she thought the show went as well as it did because of the cast's outstanding chemistry.
Solo performances by both men and women, as well as group numbers, were performed with sets depicting scenes from the wild west to ancient Egypt. Although each skit had dominant solo performances, all of the 50 to 60 cast members played important roles in the overall production.
"It's not just a one-person thing," said Bryce Holt, Overland Park sophomore, who starred as the out-of-focus Miracules in Delta Gamma and Beta Theta Pi's skit "Hocus Focus." "Everybody had a lot of energy, and it went off without a hitch."
Holt, who performed alongside belly dancers and Egyptians on a stage backed by the head of a sphinx, said that he was under a lot of pressure as lead character in the skit in just his second Rock Chalk, but that it felt great to go out in front of the crowd and perform.
That near-capacity crowd, which was close to 2,000 people, erupted into laughter and applause throughout the night as it traveled around the world and through time with the members of the cast.
"It's a real good show," said audience member Nate Bihmaier, Osborne freshman. "It's obvious that they have worked really hard."
Holt agreed and said that the working toward a common goal brought the casts together.
"This year's is a lot better than last year's," Holt said. "We've had very high morale and hope to fight through the Friday night lull and finish strong on Saturday."
Brian Courtney, Leawood sophomore and member of the "Quit Hoggin' the Road" cast, said the show was fun — even if he did have to wear a lot of makeup.
"It's a little different," Courtney said of wearing makeup. "As much as we have practiced it, though, we're kinda used to it."
Courtney and the other performers will have to sport the makeup for two more nights as there will be a show tonight and a final show and awards ceremony Saturday. Both shows begin at 7 p.m.
All proceeds from ticket sales and raffles at the event will be donated to the United Way of Douglas County. Tickets remain for tonight's show and are priced at $13. Tomorrow's show is sold out.

University Council approves credit/no credit extension
By Ryan Devlin and Erinn R. Barcomb writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writers
University Council yesterday approved an amendment to the University of Kansas' credit/no credit policy. If enacted, the amendment would extend the amount of time students have to decide whether to apply the credit/no credit option to classes.
The option allows students' transcripts to be marked either "credit" or "no credit," instead of a traditional letter grade. The current policy requires students to opt for this no later than the third or fourth week of the semester. For summer
courses and classes less than 16 weeks long, students must decide no later than the second week of class.
The amended policy would extend the deadline to the fifth or sixth week of the semester for 16-week courses. For summer classes, the deadline would be the third week. And for courses during the regular semester that meet for less than 16 weeks, the deadline would be the week that 40 percent of the class meetings were completed.
"The idea behind the change in policy is to give the student more time to assess their situation in a particular class and to give them more time to exercise the option if they see fit to do so."
Jim Carothers Chairman of the Senate Executive Committee
"The idea behind the change in policy is to give the student
more time to assess their situation in a particular class and to give them more time to exercise the option if they see fit to do so." he said.
In other business, Council tabled the revised draft of the University's intellectual property policy, which establishes methods for determining property rights among the University and students and faculty for material that can be copyrighted.
The proposal, which reflects the Board of Regents' policy, was generated by a committee headed by Ed Meyen, professor of special education. Council's consideration of the proposal had been delayed while Provost
David Shulenburger made what he said were minor changes.
But Meyen said Council was not ready to approve the proposal.
"We need some more time," Meyen said. "I think the issues deserve some wider discussion."
kansan.com
During the meeting, Carothers suggested that Council table the motion until March 30, the next time it meets. In the meantime, there will be an informational meeting on intellectual property at 3:30 p.m. March 16 at the University Governance Office, 33 Strong Hall.
Carothers said he hoped Council would vote on the issue at its next meeting.

Tenure 'check back' system needed
The University of Kansas' promotions and tenure review process have been under scrutiny recently. The University just won a federal discrimination lawsuit that involved denial of tenure, and another will be heard shortly. The process of granting or denying tenure is a complex system, but it is effective.
A faculty member's application is reviewed first by the department or school. The recommendation then goes to the provost's University Committee on Promotions and Tenure. The committee's recommendation, along with previous evaluations and recommendations, are sent to the chancellor for final approval or denial.
Because the process involves multiple faculty members and University chairpersons, it ideally should be a fair evaluation.
The tenure committee meets each spring after reviewing tenure applications to discuss problems or possible changes in the process. After a semester filled with controversy and allegations of discrimination, it certainly will have a hefty agenda.
Faculty members should be able to update their applications during review process
One policy that needs discussion and consideration is the "check back" policy: If a higher committee reaches a different conclusion than a lower committee, the higher body is required to communicate its decision to the lower committee so that it can provide additional material from the applicant for consideration.
ommended before the chancellor's decision, the applicants don't have an opportunity to provide more information.
If applicants have articles published or finish new research during the review process, they can't submit the material if the committees all reached the same decision.
The problem is that the committees only communicate when there is a difference of opinion. If tenure is not rec-
The check back procedure is a smart idea, considering the recent alleged discrimination in the tenure review process and the significant impact of a faculty member being granted or denied tenure.
Faculty who are up for tenure should have the opportunity to submit new material to their files at any point in the process — regardless of any committee's previous decision.
The University Committee on Promotions and Tenure should make this change so that the University might avoid headaches and controversy in the future.

Perspective
Sitting unassumingly at the corner of 14th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard is Danforth Chapel. It's actually easy to miss. Most students probably will never even think to enter it. Inside however, the instant quiet is almost startling. Sounds of steam whistles, stu
Chapel built by Nazis fills important niche

The chapel is nondenominational and open to any member of the KU community who wants to pray, meditate or just warm up on a cold day. Since it was built in 1946, it has been the site of thousands of weddings, greek ceremonies, honor society initiatives and prayer services. But what does it mean to have a chapel in the middle of the
campus of a publiclv financed university?
When the chapel opened in 1946, Chancellor Malott promised that it would be open 24 hours per day, so that students could run in and pray whenever the mood struck them. That ended in the early 1960s, however, when several acts of vandalism, including the theft of the Gethsemane painting, forced the chapel to close at night.
In its early days, most of the activities were sponsored by the several Christian organizations that held prayer meetings. Slowly however, the chapel has become less of a denominational building and more of a gathering space for people of all faiths.
Building the Danforth Chapel was made possible by a $5,000 grant from the William J. Danforth foundation — its namesake and founder made his fortune with the Ralston-Purina Company in St. Louis, Mo. His foundation also funded several other similar chapels on campuses across the United States. Other contributors included the KU Endowment Association, — which actually provided $1,000 more than Danforth — the Panhellenic Association, Student Union Activities and several groups that had fund-raisers to help pay for the construction.
The building originally was decorated with Christian adornments, including a painting of Christ in Gethsemane, which was also a gift from Danforth.
Any registered campus organization, ranging from Student Senate to the KU Table Tennis Club, can reserve the chapel for up to three hours per week. St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center also celebrates Mass there three times per week. Also, any student can get married in the chapel for free, as long as his or her guest list has no more than about 70 people. About 165 couples got married there annually.
Construction commenced that year. To supplement the male-depleted labor supply, German soldiers from a nearby prisoner-of-war camp were brought in to haul limestone and help with construction. Before the war, several of the soldiers had been skilled stonemasons and were experienced in that type of work. Watching Nazi soldiers build a chapel on Jayhawk Boulevard must have been an interesting sight.
Before construction began, Chancellor Deane Malot told the Kansan, "The University is happy to have this building as a center of emphasis for Christian living, for which this University has stood throughout its history."
When the project was initiated in 1944, building materials were scarce because of World War II, but Danforth and the KU administration thought the chapel was important enough that they couldn't wait for the war to end. They were required to ask special permission to build it
from the War Production Board. Permission was granted. Apparently, chapel building was an important part of the war effort.
Impressively, the Nazi-built Danforth has made the transition from a decidedly nonnuclear intent as a "center of Christian living" to a building of use to the entire KU community. Because of that transition, its place on campus should be secure, even if only as a shelter from the wind on blustery spring days.

Y.
"our name is what?"
**Y** your name is what?" I used to get that response a lot when I introduced myself. I also heard "How do you spell that?" and
"Interesting name." The people out there with the unusual names know what I'm talking about.
Your name symbolizes a major part of your image, personality and how you perceive yourself. Coming from a small town, I thought that I was known as "the Asian girl with the funny name." That made it even harder to get used to
a new culture and language. Most of my friends, including other Asian girls, had "American" names such as Sarah, Lisa or Jessica. I longed to be normal and have an American name like the other girls. I used to dread introducing myself to new people because of my name. In a way, I felt ashamed that my name was so different, so "un-American."

pronounced Yee or Ee. That's right, chewy, as in choo-choo train or chewy chocolate chip cookie. I was called Bwelacbaca the wookie for the entire seventh grade. Don't laugh. It still haunts me. When people see my name in print, they come up with different pronunciations I never would have dreamed of. I have been called 'chow' or 'cho' and many others.
Don't get me wrong. I sometimes actually liked having such an unusual name. It provided certain perks. It practically was guaranteed that no one would forget my name. And my name did get attention when I wanted. It also provided a great way to start a conversation. I knew five Sarahs, but it was pretty much a sure thing that no one would have my name.
As a result of having an unusual name, I developed ways of coping with the extra attention it brought, and I learned how to joke with people about my name. But when I started attending the Korean church in town and later in Kansas City, I purposely began introducing myself as June. I was tired of people making fun of my name, and I wanted to blend in. So I
To my Asian friends and anyone related to church, I was June. To my school friends and everyone at home, I was Choo. Being called June was refreshing after hearing "Chewy" screamed down hallways and in classrooms everyday. I liked leading a double life, and I began developing a slightly different personality for each name.
picked June.
Everything was fine until I hit college. Suddenly, I couldn't keep my school friends and church friends separate because they attended the same school. It became tiresome to try to explain why and how I ended up with two names. Trying to blend the two different sides of me also became confusing and difficult.
I used to dream about changing my name, and finally an opportunity was presented to me. I found out that I could legally change my name forever when I became a citizen. I was estatic. Finally I would have a normal name and blend in with everyone else. I wouldn't be made fun of with every introduction to a non-Asian person. No more wookie or train lokes.
My roommates, sisters and I began brainstorming for the perfect name. I began to look through baby books and quickly discovered that it was not as easy to change your name as it was your clothes.
My names fit me and had become a part of me. They defined the way I perceived myself and the way people saw me. Trying to imagine myself as something other than June or Choo was harder than I originally thought. The more I brainstormed, the more I realized that I didn't mind being the Asian girl with the strange name. Changing at 19 years old seemed fake and superficial. Every other name reminded me of someone else.
However, I ultimately did decide to change my name. Now my name is legally June Yi. Most of my friends who know me as Choo refuse to call me June. I understand and, in a way, I'm glad. Changing my name felt like I was ignoring a major part of my life, and being called Choo reminds me of that time. I find myself actually missing the questions, remarks and even the jokes that my name brought. Although I'm happy with my decision to change, a part of me will always be Choo — the Asian girl with the funny name.
YI is a Leavenworth sophomore in advertising.
Feedback
Crosswalk needed at 15th and Naismith
When I read the short article in Tuesday's Kansan about a student hit by a car on 15th Street, my first reaction was, "What kind of crazy person runs out right in front of a car" (Even if it is just a Neon.) Then I read the comment at the end of the story about the
lack of a crosswalk at the site of the accident, implying that the student should not have been crossing where he did.
There is a simple reason why the student did not cross 15th in a crosswalk. There is no crosswalk at 15th between Iowa Street and Naismith Drive. None.
I don't want to be the advocate for crazy people who run out right in front of cars, but
sometimes, to get across 15th Street, especially during rush hour, you just have to cross your fingers, say a little prayer, close your eyes and hope for the best.
Of course, the better solution would be a couple of crosswalks. Maybe before someone gets seriously hurt.

2 Live Crew in concert at the Granada tonight

They're as nasty as they want to be — and they're coming to Lawrence.
2 Live Crew and its troupe of female dancers will perform at 7:30 tonight at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The rap group is famous for its controversial performances.
"There's no nudity, but it does get freaky," said Bill Pyle, a promoter at Avalanche Productions.
The group Beyond and DJ Michael Scott are opening for 2 Live Crew. Jim Pickard, a Granada employee, said that Scott's act also included strippers who danced but were not allowed to strip.
2 Live Crew became nationally known 10 years ago when its third album, As Nasty as They Wanna Be, was declared legally obscene by a county judge.
The ruling later was overturned on appeal, and the album sold three million copies. Since then, the band's explicit lyrics and sexist themes have kept it in the limelight.
In a prepared statement, group member Brother Marquis wrote that critics did not understand was the band was about.
"We make party music," he wrote. "What we do is the same stuff Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy did on their albums."
Because of censorship issues, 2 Live Crew was the first group to release both unedited and "clean" versions of its albums. It also was the first group to label unedited albums with explicit parental warnings before the industry developed guidelines for such labeling.

"It will be nice for them to stir up some trouble in our boring little state."
Sumitha Rao, Overland Park freshman,
won't be going to the concert.
Even though Rao didn't agree with the band's message, she said she thought it was good that the band was coming to town.
"I think it's offensive toward me — but I can't speak for all women," she said. "Sometimes I just shrug it off."
"It will be nice for them to stir up some trouble in our boring little state," she said.
Jay Kimbrough, Leavenworth senior, said that he didn't know 2 Live Crew was still around and that he probably wouldn't go to the concert.
"They were kind of cool back in the day," he said. "I just remember because they were so controversial."
Jeff Hirt, Shawnee senior, said he remembered listening to the band's music when he was in junior high school.
"Iliked the vulgarity and the shock value," he said.
Hirt also said that because he was only 11 years old at the time, he had had to buy the clean version of the cassette and listen to it behind closed doors so that his parents wouldn't hear the words. He said he liked the album cover, on which the four band members peer out from between the legs of four women in thong blinkinis
"That was a good way to attract young male listeners." Hirt said.

In 1990, producer and director George Lucas sued the band's Luke Skyywalker record label, which is also lead vocalist Luther Campbell's stage name, for taking the name of his "moral, wholesome" Star Wars character, according to the alt.culture Web site. The label paid Lucas $300,000 in an out-of-court settlement.
Later that year, the band was acquitted on a charge of obscene performance in Hollywood, Fla.
In 1994, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the band's parody of Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" was not plagiarism.
The new 2 Live Crew album, The Real One, features tracks with Freak Nasty, Ice T and K.C. from K.C. and the Sunshine Band .
According to the Granada box office, more than 500 tickets were sold yesterday. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for the 18-and-older show, and tickets are $10. Ladies' night will follow the concert because of the early show time.

Mission:
mediocre

Great effects aside, Mission to Mars a questionable film
By Clare McLellan
Kansan movie critic
Hitting theaters this weekend is a film sure to irk Kansas, State Board of Education members.
Hollywood's latest attempt to answer the "How did we get here?" question is Mission to Mars, starring Gary Sinise and Tim Robbins.
The twist here is that the origin of life on Earth wasn't a purely terrestrial event — nor a divine one — but a gift from our friends on the Red Planet.
What friends, you ask? Well, that's where Mission gets interesting, if not a bit too sci-fi for the average filmgoer.
The movie drags its feet a bit in the beginning, kicking off with a backyard party introducing all the characters and their families, who we, oddly, never encounter again.
Next thing we know, it's 13 months later and a crew, led by Luc (Don Cheadle of Booie Nights), has landed on Mars and discovers a massive structure that appears to contain water — meaning that life, at least at one point, possibly existed on Mars.
There is a time lapse between the crew sending the message to the orbiting space station (the story is set 20 years in the future) and mission control receiving the message, giving the Mars team time to reach this structure and cause some major problems for themselves.
We are to believe that this structure they find is the mysterious face seen on Mars' surface, and it becomes very angry when the crew tries to analyze it with radiation. So angry that it sucks three of them to their death in a funnel cloud, providing some incredible visuals — including one poor man being deprived of his limbs because of the centrifugal force. Ouch.
Enter Woody Blake (Robbins), Jim O'Connell (Sinise), Phil Ohlmeyer (Jerry O'Connell of Scream 2, Jerry Maguire) and Dr. Terri Fisher (Connie Nielsen of Rushmore, Devil's Advocate) to rescue/recover the failed mission to Mars.
In true Murphy's Law fashion, more problems ensue on their ship than NASA's worst nightmare, and more fantastic things happen than NASA could ever dream.

Showing at Southwind 12, 3433 Iowa St.
It's disheartening to say, but the man who knocked us out in The Shawshank Redemption and thoroughly creeped us out in Arlington Road just doesn't pack a punch in this film. Robbins' character, Woody, is married to crewmate Fisher, but the on-screen chemistry just isn't there. His subtle, understated nature doesn't work its magic in Mission.
The story is fresh and thought provoking, which can be appreciated by anyone — not just sci-fi fans. It offers an intriguing missing piece to the jigsaw puzzle of life that, take it or leave it, is fun to watch. The writing, the screenplay and the acting leave a lot to be desired, however.
Sinise is equally disappointing, not because he doesn't fit the part, but because the interaction
among the characters is lackluster.
Perhaps the most believable characters are Luc and Phil, played by Cheadle and O'Connell, respectively. Even at that, none of the actors delivers a standout performance.
In the realm of visual effects, though, this movie is a treat. Not the pure eye candy that many hightech, sci-fi films display, but visually pleasing nonetheless. The scenes at the end are highly imaginative and well-directed by action-movie veteran Brian DePalma (Scarface, Mission: Impossible).
This movie also deserves credit for its PG rating — little violence, little (if any) swearing and no nudity appear in the film. In today's world of excess in all these areas, an action/sci-fi film lacking in all three while still entertaining is refreshing.
If you head to the theater with an open mind and a readiness to sit back and enjoy the whole moviegoing experience, Mission to Mars will not disappoint.
If you hate sci-fi, think Gary Sinise will never break the Lieutenant Dan mold or don't have five bucks burning a hole in your pocket, this Mission can wait for video.

Unified One: The Baggage that it Brings
Buy it
Hailing from Lawrence comes Unified One, a rock band with a dark sense of humor along with some impassioned lyrics and guitar riffs.
Check out songs such as "Girls and Things" and "Intimidation" for some vocals similar to Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies and some kickin' harmonies.
Vocalist Matt Cox, Lansing junior, may not have a fresh new sound, but he does well with what he has. Pouring raw emotion and solid control into his vocals in addition to playing several instruments, he's clearly the soul of the group.
Baggage is the band's second effort. Cox played all the songs on Unified One's first album, 1998's Apathy Ran Away, but this release finds him collaborating with drummer Aaron Koker of Topeka and keyboard player Tim Canaday of Leavenworth.
For show dates and more info, log on to the band's website at www. unifiedone.com.

The Ex-Husbands All Gussied Up Buy it used
Honky tonk is not for everyone; you've got to like a bit of twang, a hint of nostalgia and a salty sense of humor. This is where the three alt-country fellows win you over.
The Ex-Husbands will be bringing their New York City brand of honky tonk to Lawrence soon. The trio is coming to the Replay Lounge on tomorrow and, from the sound of its second album All Gussied Up, the show very well could be entertaining.
For three guys, they put out a lot of organized sounds. That said, I still couldn't get through the whole album without taking a breather — an overdose of honky tonk perhaps? The element that did keep me interested was the Telecaster guitar stylings of Anders Thomsen, the Ex-Husbands' lead-singer and songwriter.
For lovers of country-flavored music, this is an album you'll want to check out and a band you'll want to see live.

Bernard Butler's newest album, Friends and Lovers, offers a symphonic Brit-pop sound. Inside and out, from cover art to chords, the ex-Suede songwriter and guitarist has orchestrated pseudo-seventies rock anthem that are bold if not slightly tacky.
Bernard Butler Friends and Lovers Buy it used
When slowing down in tracks like "No Easy Way Out" and "Smile," he waxes sentimental with forced lyrics; you usually find yourself waiting for the pace to pick up a bit because it's rocking that Butler seems to do best. With all of the feel-good chord progressions and raucous guitar riffs, he proves himself to be a positively convincing guitarist.
The artist did the producing on Friends and Lovers as well. Andy Wallace, who previously collaborated with Nirvana and Jeff Buckley, mixed the album.
Having been a driving force in the British band the London Suede — which is accredited with revolutionizing Brit-pop in the '90s — Butler carries his experience with him well. He offers less edge than Blur and less glam than Oasis. And to his advantage, he still can ride on the waves of the band's cult-like following, which swelled in the early '90s, leading some members of the audience to rip off the lead singer's clothing.
Friends and Lovers won't put you in that sort of frenzy, but some of the tracks just might make you happy.

Four 'Hawks to go to top track meet
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswritter
Ryan Speers is in.
the sophomore shot putter jumped off the provisional bubble Monday when he made the list of official qualifiers for the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Ranked 15th in the nation, Speers made the list of 17 collegiate throwers who will make the trip to Favetteville. Ark., for today's meet.
"Monday night about 7 or 8 o'clock Laurie [coach LaRowe] called me," Spears said. "I'm
Three other Jayhawk athletes will join him at the meet - junior pole vaulters Andrea Branson and Ashley Feinberg, and junior miler Charlie Gruber.
PETER LEE
"To just make the provisional standard is a big accomplishment, and going is a big deal," said coach Gary Schwartz. "We're happy we have two girls and two guys going."
Branson: In a good position to come out a NCAA champ
Getting there was tough enough — only 270 qualified
athletes were invited to the meet. But now Branson, Feinberg, Gruber and Speers face an even tougher challenge: being consistent.
"If you look at the results of this meet, generally people don't throw what they're supposed to," Speers said. "So if I throw as I should, then it'll just take care of itself."
"I think the challenge is to stay focused, and I think that if you do that, if you do the performance that you did to get into the meet, that's how you can get to place," Schwartz said. "And if you try to do what you are capable of at the meet, rather than trying to do something out of this world, then you will be very happy on Saturday night."
The key to a top-notch performance is staying focused. he said.
Branson, based on past performances, has the best shot to come home happy.
She placed third last year, behind this year's leaders Tracy O'Hara of UCLA and California Polytechnic's Paula Serrano.
"Emotionally, she has quite a bid to go for the top," said Rick Attig, combined events coach. "Some of the people may not have the respect for her that they should, and so she's in a great position to do well. She's in perfect position to come out as NCAA champion."
And the other athletes' chances aren't so bad either. Gruber, ranked sixth, has a shot of placing in the mile after finishing 11th in the 1500 meters at last year's NCAA Outdoor Championships. Feinberg, ranked 13th in pole vault, is capable of earning All-American honors by placing in the top eight — if the tendinitis in her left knee holds up. And Speers, well, he's just tickled to be making the trip.
"My goal all year was to make it to this meet," Speers said. "So I'll take just going."

Boschee's three-pointers help bury Kansas State

Kansan sportswriter
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Step one of Kansas' four-step plan went off without a hitch yesterday afternoon.
Tournament title. The Jayhawks need three more victories in three days to accomplish the task, and they just might have found the key to their title hopes — sophomore guard Boschee.
Jeff Boschee hit a school-record seven three-pointers in the first half, and that was plenty enough to carry No. 24 Kansas past Kansas State in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament at Kemper Arena.
"We got it inside, and that opened it up for me outside," said Boschee, last year's tournament MVP. "Guys were setting screens and getting me open, and I was able to hit the shots. Since I've been in college, I don't think I've ever felt like that. Everything I shot, I thought it was going to go in."
With the 84-60 win, the Jayhawks improved to 23-8 overall and took the first step to capturing their fourthstraight Big 12 Conference
Just about everything did. Boschee missed his first three-point attempt of the game, then reedel off seven consecutive fireballs as Kansas went into halftime with a 50-23 lead.
Boschee's three-point clinic broke Billy Thomas' and Terry Brown's single-half school record, and Boschee still finished with a game-high 21 points despite missing his only shot of the second half.
"He really carried us in the first half," said Kansas guard Kenny Gregory, who slammed home several rim-rattling dunks and scored 12 points. "He helped us get the momentum, and it carried us all the way through."

Hollingsworth's message has not landed in the rough — Jayhawk golfers have heeded her advice and have been working on their touch around the greens.
Senior Sue Tessary, who is com
ing off a second place finish in North Carolina, said she planned on improving her short game for this tournament and wanted to be in the running for the all-around title. With all of the preparations this week, Tessary said she was confident about the tournament.
Junior Sarah Mahoney said that her short game had improved and even benefited from this week's wedge sessions.
"In the last tournament, I struggled with my short game on a couple of holes and that really hurt my chances to contend," she said. "I plan to eliminate that problem this weekend and hopefully help the team compete for the team title."
"This is my last semester playing golf as a Jayhawk, and I want to play up to my potential," she said.
Tessary is not the only Jayhawk who's been chipping away at her short game.
"The short game is where you can save those extra strokes during a tournament, and that can be the difference between a first or fifth place finish," Mahoney said.
Mahoney said that the hard work the team had put into the short game this week had added to the overall confidence and belief that the team could win.
For that to happen, it will come down to chipping and putting.
'Hawks aim for road sweep
Team wants to continue recent offensive surge
By Rebecca Barlow sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
This weekend, it will have the challenge of playing six games in three days. Coach Tracy Bunge said she had confidence that her team could sweep all six games this weekend.
The Kansas softball team will see if its road woes have finally ended at the Tennessee Invitational this weekend.
The Jayhawks are 9-11 on the road, but they won their last two road games against Missouri-Kansas City on Wednesday. Overall, Kansas is 10-11.
"That would be a real confidencebuilder for our team." she said.
The Jayhawks will play Eastern Kentucky at 3 p.m. and Tennessee at 5 p.m. today. They will continue play against Eastern Kentucky at noon and East Carolina at 2 p.m. tomorrow and will conclude the tournament by playing East Carolina at 9 a.m. and Tennessee at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The Jayhawks got a glimpse of, but did not play against, Eastern Kentucky earlier this season at the Triangle Classic Tournament in Raleigh, N.C.
Softball
The 'Hawks will have to play with two of their top players still injured this weekend.
Sophomore center fielder Shelly Musser still is recovering from a concussion she suffered two weeks ago in a game against Creighton. However, she did play a couple innings in the win against UMKC.
However, Kansas' offense has come alive in the last three games, totaling 24 hits and 11 runs. Senior shortstop Christy McPhail led the team offensively against UMKC with a double and a triple on Wednesday. Sophomore outfielder Leah Tabb also helped out offensively with a solo home run.
Senior pitcher Sara Clopton still is not at full strength. She has been ill and has missed time on the mound.
"We just need to have fun and play hard this weekend," McPhail said. "We still haven't played to our capabilities, so that is our goal going into the weekend."

Web sites let fans keep up with favorite sports teams
There has been a recent major addition to the Jonesey household.
Now my Mom can send e-mails, check Home and Garden TV's Web site and even read her favorite columnist's columns at kansan.com. She can read my columns, too.
There are no new children running around my parent's house, but they do have a new baby: a brand new computer.
So, in honor of my Mom's leap to the World Wide Web, I present Jonesey's guide to sports Web sites.
First of all, everyone needs to stop by nike.com/bracketville and vote Roy Williams for mayor. It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican — Williams is still the obvious choice.
With the Big Dance right around the corner, collegerpi.com is the best place to find out about bubble teams and the seedings for the tournament. Last year, this site correctly predicted 32 of the 34 at-large bids. Currently, it has Kansas as a six seed in the West against 11-seed Southern Methodist at Minneapolis. How long does it take to road trip to Minnesota?
I hate to admit it, but the best place to get the news in the sports world is espn.com. The only reason I hate to admit that is because I fear anything that is Disney-owned. Call me paranoid, but one day Michael Eisner is going to have everyone marching in single-file lines while wearing mouse ears. Just wait.
I know students don't gamble. Just like they drink moderately (zero to five drinks) when they drink. But sandbox.com makes gambling on fantasy sports easy. Sadly enough, my fantasy basketball squad, the Aquanian Aquabats, is stuck in fifth, and my jerk roommate's team is in first. Paul Pierce's 44.7 fantasy points per game just isn't getting it done when a guy like Kevin Garnett averages 68 fantasy points.
If basketball is your religion, hoopstv.com claims to be your temple for worship. We all know that Allen Fieldhouse is your temple, but hoopstv.com is trying. Its "Smack" section is good for a laugh, plus it has highlights of high school ball.
How convenient is this site? I've known guys that hold conference calls involving three different states to draft their fantasy football teams. This Web site does the draft for you, plus it tabulates the scores — one of the more annoying facets of fantasy sports.
A site I check daily is britneypears.com — whoops, I meant jayhawks.org. How embarrassing. But you can stop by this site, maintained by the Kansas Athletics Department, and check scores, stories, schedules and even operate the Memorial Stadium Web cam, a camera mounted high up on Memorial Stadium that you can control live with your mouse. Cool, huh?

If you want to get involved in a debate about Kansas basketball, go to kuhoops.com. The message board on this bad boy always is loaded with opinionated fools who think they know their Kansas basketball. Stop by and school some sucker.
Want to find out about the best high school ballers in the nation? Allstarreport.com has video of the kids with crazy games. Check the video of Travon Bryant, see Bob Gibbon's Top 100 high school players and find out who committed where.
All the rest of the Web sites I check involve scantily clad women walking around a house, so I better stop now.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday [March 10].
You might have to make some tough choices this year, but that's good. A difficult situation could force you to give up a bad habit. Don't argue too much in March, especially in a fight you don't really want to win. Don't spend the money before you get it in April. In May, you're lucky — and decisive, too. Make an important choice then. Creative work brings in the bucks around August. A new opportunity requires new skills in December. New information threatens old beliefs in February, but faith prevails.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, O the most challenging.
Aries: Today is a 7.
Remember to stick to a budget. Even if you feel like there's plenty, don't be extravagant. You'll be wiser to save than to spend. Pay back what you owe, too. Be generous with your time and ideas, instead.
Taurus: Today is a 7.
The framework you've set in place should work well for you. Your experience pays off, too. You're a practical, common sense kind of a person. Don't go for a fanciful scheme. It won't work. A night on the town with your friends? That's a go!
Gemini: Today is a 7.
To achieve a goal, stick to the old-fashioned rules A person you promised will remember what you said you'd do. If you know that ahead of time and if you remember not to push against the limits, your life will be much easier.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
The people in your inner circle are important to you. They provide comfort, security and all sorts of things you might not have realized you get from them. So, pass those feelings along to somebody else. Be the strong one for a friend who's feeling a little wobbly.
Leo: Today is a 6.
A boss is a stickier for rules and regulations today. He or she is not going to be flexible. Well, the truth is your latest idea might not work anyway. If somebody tells you there isn't enough money, it might be true. Take care.

Virgo: Today is an 8.
Libra: Today is a 6.
Have you thought about going back to school? If you can't afford the time or the money, how about a self-growth program? It's time for you to take on a challenge. Offer to do something a little scary. That's a start
You have both abundance and restriction regarding money today. This could mean you'll make a lot, so don't spend it! You and your sweetheart would love to splurge. Why not do something that's less-expensive, instead? You have the love, save the money!
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
Scorpio; Today is an 8.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
You could benefit through a partnership now. This could be a romantic or business agreement, possibly both. Money appears to be involved, with quite a bit coming your way. Do your part, and you might gain more security.
You are lucky in love today, especially with an old friend. This could be the romantic kind of love, but not necessarily. It might be a precious moment you share with your family, old friends, children or even neighbors. You won't need much money. Enjoy.

You may have to postpone getting something you want so another can have what's needed. The kindness you bestow will be returned to you, so don't complain. It may take a while, but that's OK. It'll be accruing interest in your karmic savings account.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
Do you have strict rules at your house? You may have to speak to a friend. It might be slightly embarrassing for a moment, but everything should out work fine. Be pleasant, but firm, and the visitor will probably go along with your program.

Pisces: Today is an 8.
You follow a pattern most days. Your neighbors have routines, too. So, if anything's wrong, you all know, right? How long has it been since you talked with them to find out what they're all doing? Tonight would be fabulous for a block party.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
LION
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Kenyon Martin knew his season was finished before he hit the floor.
Cincinnati star's season halted because of injury
Cincinnati's star player, perhaps the best in college basketball, was setting a screen in the opening minutes of Cincinnati's Conference USA tournament opener yesterday when he bumped into Saint Louis' Justin Love.

"I didn't have any control over it," Martin said quietly after Cincinnati's 68-58 loss to Saint Louis.
Sitting in a wheelchair with his foot in a cast, Martin said he told physician Angelo Colosimo that his leg was broken as soon as the doctor came onto the floor.
The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Martin was selected the Conference USA player of the year Wednesday and is the favorite for national player of the year honors.
With Martin, Cincinnati set a regular season record with 28 victories. The Bearcats also had the first undefeated record in conference play at 16-0.
He led the conference with 19.5 points and 10 rebounds a game. He also had the top field-goal percentage (57 percent) and is the career blocked shots leader for both Cincinnati and Conference USA with 292. He set the single-season mark with 107.

Auburn player to appeal denial of his eligibility
AUBURN, Ala. — The NCAA has refused to restore the eligibility of Auburn star Chris Porter, who said he took $2,500 to help his mother without realizing it was being routed from an agent.

Globetrotters retire Chamberlain's jersey
NBA
PHILADELPHIA — Wilt Chamberlin still can bring the gymnasium crowd to its feet at Overbrook High School, where he started a career that rewrote basketball record books.
Students crammed into bleachers, jumped up and cheered yesterday as Chamberlain, who died Oct. 12 at his California home, became the first player in the 74-year history of the Harlem Globetrotters to have his iersey retired.
At center court, the players unveiled a showcase displaying two of Chamberlain's bright blue No. 13 jerseys with red and white striped shorts. It will stay at Overbrook High as a tribute, former teammate Tex Harrison said, "to one of the greatest Harlem Globetrotters of all time."
Chamberlain left Overbrook for Kansas and the Globetrotters before returning to play for the Philadelphia Warriors and later the Philadelphia 76ers.

Baseball team to use depth vs. Texas
By Amanda Kaschube sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas baseball and men's basketball teams have more in common than just depth on their squads — they also both have a hard time beating Texas.
Today, the Jayhawk sluggers (12-5) will try do the unthinkable and lasso a few games away from the No. 4 Texas in a three-game series in Austin, Texas.
T he Longhorns have dominated the 'Hawks in the past, beating them 12-4 in the last 16 games. Texas also has a lower ERA (2.95 vs. 3.63) and a better record (17-5) than Kansas this season, but coach

Randall: Says pitcher depth key to team success
Bobby Randall isn't treating this series as a no-win situation.
"Every series is important to win, and beating them will be no easy task," he said. "We're focused on every game, and we aren't just going to give up the three games. We are all really anxious to go there."
And like men's basketball coach Roy Williams, Randall will rely on Kansas' depth — especially starting pitchers junior Pete Smart, sophomore Jeff Davis and senior Rusty Philbrick — to carry the team.
"There's no doubt that they are up to the challenge." Randall said. "Obviously, this is the best opponent we've played. You can always have a bad outing, but if you look at their past performances, they've thrown very well."
Southpaw Smart, who will start today's game, has given up 15 runs in his five outings this season, and has the second lowest ERA (2.97) on the team.
"I'm just going to go out there and throw as many scoreless innings as I can," said Smart, 2.3. "You have to celebrate quickly and then to go out there and forget what you did before. You can win a baseball game one day and then not play so well the next."
And that's the 'Hawks' situation going into today's game. They won two of three games against Iowa State last weekend and beat Southwest Missouri State, 6-2, on Tuesday.
Kansas depended on right-hander Davis, 3-0, to keep the Cyclones off the bases in game three. Davis got the nod from Randall to start tomorrow's game. Philbrick, who started Tuesday's game against the Bears, will start Sunday.
"We have quality pitchers behind our starters. We're seven deep."
Bobby Randall baseball coach
Randall said he liked to keep his starters around the 100-pitch count, but so far this season he has been able to pull his starters with confidence.
The Kansas bullpen has been strong — senior Ryan Schmidt, junior Sam Gish and sophomore Dan Olsen have been used in key situations. Junior Brandon O'Neal also will return to the mound this weekend after recovering from tendinitis in his throwing arm.
"We have these four guys, and it's not like we're helpless." Randall said. "We have quality pitchers behind our starters. We're seven deep."
The Kansas squad lost all three games to the Longhorns last year by a combined 21 runs. But Philbrick is confident that this year's matchups will yield a different outcome.
"One of our goals is just to go out there and win the next game," he said. "We all put our pants on the same way. I don't see why we can't get some wins."

Women to meet ranked Minnesota
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
After wins against Texas Tech and Missouri this week, the Kansas women's tennis team is taking a one-meet break from conference play.
The Jayhawks will meet No. 60 Minnesota Sunday at 11 a.m. at the Alvamar Tennis and Swim Club, 4120 Clinton Parkway. Conference play will resume on March 19 when the Jayhawks take on Bayor at home.
The 'Hawks' first conference win came against Texas Tech last Sunday when they buried the Lady Raiders 8-1.
Three days later, they beat Missouri 7-2. The victory brought their winning streak against the Tigers to 19 and the all-time series record to 22-2.
Kansas also leads the all-time series with Minnesota 5-2 and won the last meeting 6-1 in 1996.
The Golden Gophers are 6-3 on the season and will be the third ranked team to play Kansas this season. The 'Hawks lost to the previous ranked teams, Ohio State and Tulsa, but Coach Jenny Garrity said she expected her team to come through this time.
"I think they learned a lot from those two losses and definitely implemented it our wins," she said.
Ohio State, also ranked, beat Kansas 7-2 and Minnesota 4-3 in meets this spring.
KANSAS TENNIS
"I think they learned a lot from those two losses and definitely implemented it our wins,"
Jenny Garrity Women's tennis coach
Kansas will need its younger players to come up on top against the Golden Gophers. Sophomore Cheryl Malliaiah, despite losing three matches this spring, has played well at the No.2 position.
Against Missouri, Mallaiah jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the first set and won 6-2. She then dropped the hammer on her bewildered opponent by winning the second set 6-0.
Mallaiah's opponent threw up her hands and cursed her racquet. After the match, Mallaiah said it was funny to see that she was the cause of her opponent's frustration.
Mallaiah also said the key to her performance was being aggressive, something she had been focusing on all season.
Senior Brooke Chiller will be another key factor against Minnesota. Chiller, Kansas' No. 1 singles player, has won five consecutive matches since losing to Ohio State on Feb. 11.
Men's tennis hungry for victory at Nebraska
By Brent Wasko

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's tennis team is just 1-4 on the road this season.
That doesn't bode well for the squad as it travels to Nebraska to take on the Cornhuskers at 2 p.m. tomorrow in a key Big 12 Conference match-up.
"I haven't even thought about our record on the road this season," said Kansas coach Mark Kruse, whose Jayhawks are 3-6 overall and 0-1 in the Big 12. "The important part of this meet is evening our record in the conference."
Two Kansas players will be entering the Nebraska meet fresh off major individual upsets against Baylor. Sophomore Rodrigo Echagaray shocked Johann Jooste, who was the No. 14 singles player in the country. Freshman Elaezar Magallan beat No. 98 David Hodge.
"I think we know that we could be ranked higher as a team," said team captain Bryan Maier. "We have lost some important matches, but we have the opportunity to show how good we are the rest of this season."
Riley said he hoped his team would be as ready for its matchup with Nebraska as it was against Baylor last week.
"We've been talking about it all week," he said. "We're going to have to stay focused if we are going to win this match."
Male said being fired up was important.
"We need to come out with as much if not more intensity than we did last week," he said. "We can't let down our guard at all or the Cornhuskers will jump out on us and win."
Winning in Lincoln could be a tough task for the Jayhawks. Nebraska has been ranked most of the season and could improve on its fourth place finish in the Big 12 last season.
The Cornhuskers are led by their No. 1 singles player Jorge Abos Sanchez, who compiled the top No. 3 singles record in the Big 12 last season. He racked up a team-best 17-4 record in spring 1998, winning 19 of his 21 matches in straight sets.
"Nebraska is a pretty good team," Maier said. "They are not the same caliber of a team as Baylor, though. No matter who you face, it's always tough to win in the Big 12."
The Jayhawks want to improve on their doubles play against Nebraska. They have had trouble winning a doubles point this season, claiming only three points in eight opportunities. Even though they have been struggling with doubles, Riley said it would take a total team effort to defeat Nebraska.
"I would like to win the doubles point, but it is not necessary for us to win." Riley said. "We would like to get the doubles point and then put some pressure on them with our singles matches."

Texas, Iowa State women advance
By Melinda Weaver
Top-seeded Iowa State and upset-minded Texas will battle for the Big 12 Championship at 7 p.m. tomorrow at Municipal Auditorium.
No Iowa St 95 No. 5311
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — And then there were two.
Iowa St. 80, No.5 Nebraska 48
Nebraska's run at the championship ended with a thud when it ran into a brick wall called Iowa State.
200s Employment
The Cornhuskers shot only 26 percent while the Cyclones shot 48 percent, led by guard Stacy Freese's 20-point performance. Nebraska never had a chance.
In the seminal round of the Big 12 Conference women's basketball tournament, Iowa State kept rolling, breaking the record of the largest margin of victory that it set Wednesday night. And Texas continued to surprise its opponents by knocking off second-seeded Texas Tech.
Men and Women
"The last whipping I remember like that came from my dad when I was about 13 years old," said Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford. "I don't have an explanation. I thought we were prepared."
Nebraska guard Nicole Kubik, who scored a B12 record 32 points against Kansas, was held scoreless in the second half and scored only

seven points in the game.
"We tried to make it tough on Kubik," Frese said. "Everywhere she went we tried to identify her, and when she tried to dribble inside, we double-teamed her."
Iowa State will make its second trip to the Big 12 Championship in as many years, this time against Texas, a team that almost upset the Cyclones in Austin earlier in the season.
North Texas 68, No. 2 Texas Tech 50
Last night Texas showed it had the best game in Texas — at least as far as the Big 12 tournament is concerned.
Kansan Classified
In a matter of two days, Texas knocked two of the Big 12 regular-season tri-champions — Texas Tech and Oklahoma — out of the tournament.
S spurred by freshman Tai Dillard's 13 points, Texas built an 11-point halftime lead. In the second half, Texas continued to build on its lead behind the shooting of senior forward Edwina Brown and junior guard JoRuth Woods, who scored 14 and 17 points, respectively.
The Longhorns now prepare to face the third of the tri-champions when they face Iowa State for the championship.
"All season we have had parts of games where we played excellent basketball, but we never believed we could have a second half of good basketball," said Texas coach Jody Conradt."

Cowboys next in line for 'Hawks in tourney
Continued from page 1B
The fifth-seeded Jayhawks poured things on the 12th-seeded Wildcats from the beginning of the game, up 14-7 by the first television timeout. They were up 23-10 by the second television timeout. And by the time the Wildcats used their first team timeout of the game with 7:24 left in the first half, Kansas was up by 19, and the Wildcats knew they were in trouble.
Kansas kept the heat on in the second half, as the Jayhawks won their 19th consecutive victory against K-State.
"There was never really any doubt," said Kansas forward Nick Collison of the win.
To put things in perspective, by the 13:45 mark of the second half, the boatade of Jayhawk fans in attendance already were calling for little-used Kansas walk-on Terry Nooner to be inserted into the game.
"We got off to such a great start early," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "We came out and got the ball inside and made some baskets. We made a couple of steals, and we got our break going. Then, all of a sudden, Bosche started getting open and made every shot that he could. That was basically the basketball game there."
Kansas now is focusing on its next basketball game
a second-round match-up against the Oklahoma State Cowboys at 2:20 p.m. today. The last time the Jayhawks and the Cowboys squared off, Kansas was rocked and dropped by 33 points in Stillwater, Okla.
"The first time we weren't ready to play, and they kicked us in every aspect of the game." Roschee said.
Simple enough. But how can Kansas avoid getting kicked around this time against an Oklahoma State team seeded fourth in the tournament and 23-5 overall?
"We just have to come and play hard-nosed basketball for 40 minutes," Kansas guard Marlon London said. "Then we'll see what happens."

Kansas requires census data, too
Students obligated to fill out state form
by kyan Devlin
writer @kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
In addition to federal census forms, which should hit mailboxes this week, students also are required to fill out a separate census form for the State of Kansas
Richard C. M. Morrell, University Registrar, said students had several options for filling out the state form.
"They can go to the Registrar's Web site and fill out the form, which is probably the easiest way to do it." Morrell said. "They can also fill out one of the printed forms provided in the new timetables and with their permits to enroll."
Morrall said degree-seeking students enrolled in at least nine hours were required by Kansas law to fill out the state form. Kansas law states that failing to turn in a census form is a class A misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of up to $100.
Morrell said the purpose of the form was to find out where students were living and where they wanted their state legislative representation to be.
"Where their legislative vote will go is determined by which address they claim is their permanent address on the form." Morrell said.
Morrell said the form gave students the option of choosing where they wanted their representation.
"If a student is from Goodland but claims Lawrence as his or her permanent address, then their representation would go to Douglas rather than Sherman

How to fill out the Kansas census:
■ Kansas law requires students who are seeking degrees and are enrolled in at least two years to fill out the form.

County." Morrell said.
Michael Siegrist, Hutchinson senior, said he would choose Lawrence as his permanent address.
"I lived here for four years," Siegrist said. "Lawrence is pretty much my hometown. The laws in Douglas County affect me more than the laws in Reno County."
But Julie Zeka, Wellington sophomore, said she would mark Wellington as her permanent address.
"My family is there, and I care more about the laws that affect them," Zeka said. "I probably won't be living in Lawrence much longer, so the laws here won't affect me in the long term."
Morrell said the summer and fall semester timetables would be released March 17. He said all students should receive permits to enroll by March 24. Each will include a copy of the census form. Even graduating seniors and those not returning to the University in the fall need to complete the forms, he said.
The online census form is available on the Registrar's home page, www.ukans.edu/cgiwrap/regsitr/census.pl. Morrell said that if students chose to fill out the printed forms, they could return them to the Registrar's office, 123 Strong Hall, or to drop boxes located in the Kansas and Burge unions.

Alarm temporarily halts Rock Chalk Revue skit
By Jessie Meyer writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The crowd was so focused on the show that it didn't notice the flashing white lights from the smoke detectors that began flashing during the skit "Hocus Focus."
Rock Chalk Revue lost its focus Saturday night, and the capacity crowd emptied into the Lied Center parking lot an hour into the show.
At about 8:15 p.m., an Egyptian mummy vanished in a cloud of smoke that set off the fire alarms and forced just more than 2,000 audience and 400 cast and crew members to evacuate the Lied Center.
"There was an overloading of the pyrotechnics, and when they used them, they set off the smoke alarms," said Sgt. Tony Augusto of the Lawrence Police Department. "This was the first time it has
The special effects had been used in Thursday's and Friday's shows, but on Saturday night, four of the smoke containers ignited, instead of two, which caused the excess smoke. When alarm lights began to flash, they seemed to be part of the set, and the audience watched on — until the main lights came up and ushers rushed in and directed people out of the building.
As they flowed from the building, the audience members huddled together outside trying to stay warm and took pictures by the fire truck that had arrived on the scene.
"I think it's just making it more memorable," said audience member Ashlee Reid, a Dallas freshman. "It's still a great show."

house manager, told the audience that the crews would take at least 30 minutes.
"We've got to get all the smoke out," Haberman shouted to the crowd. "The show will begin again as soon as they are done."

At that, the crowd dispersed. Some left, while others waited in the parking lot and in their cars.

People having protected sex could have led to scholarship money for University of Kansas students.
A condom company approached KU's licensing and trademark office about using the Jayhawk on their prophylactics. But Paul Vander Tuig, trademark and licensing director, said the University did not think it was a good idea.
"We were concerned by a liability standpoint," he said. "You can only speculate on the ramifications of a failure of that kind of product."
All royalties the University receives from the Jayhawk and other trademarked items go toward scholarships. Last year, the University collected $669,000 in royalties.
But while Jayhawk condoms won't give the University scholarship money, other licensed products like whirlriggs, shortbread cookies and beef jerky do.
"We're happy that we can make some money and give it somewhere it will make a difference," Vander Tuig said.
He said the University colLECTed an eight percent royalty fee —an industry standard—and the University had more than 20 slogans and items federally registered.
He also said that any person or company that wanted to use the name or
the University must submit an application to the trademark and licensing office. That person then must pay one of three different fees to use the item, sign a contract and licensing agreement, and send a finished product to the University for final approval.
The first type of fee is what Vander Tuig called a "Mom and Pop" classification, which is used for crafts like Christmas ornaments and bird feeders. This fee is $50 to use the trademarked item, plus eight percent of all money made after eclipse $50.
The second tier of fees is the novelty classification. These deal with products like coffee mugs, pens, license plate holders and trinkets, and the fee is $100.
The final classification is called soft goods and wearables, and carries a $250 price tag because it is usually a high-ticket and high-volume item.
All companies who use KU-trademarked items are contractually bound to submit quarterly reports to the University's licensing agent, the Michigan-based Licensing Resource Group. The University has the right to audit any of these companies.
Gene Wandling, chief financial officer of Licensing Resource Group, said that his company audited about 60 companies a year.
"Sometimes we select a company because of their size and they might account for a large amount of dollars," he said. "Sometimes it's a little random and other times we try to do local companies near the schools we represent."
Vander Tuig said that student groups at the University could use a logo to identify their groups as part of the University of Kansas, as long as they weren't out to make money.
"But when they get into fund-raising with the shirts, that's when it needs to go through us," he said. "This is because it is theoretically impacting the Union bookstore."
Vander Tuig also said students could use the identifying marks on signs at basketball games.
"That's probably protected under First Amendment and free speech rights," he said. "As an artist, you can do whatever you want. We just get concerned when the line is crossed, when there is commercial activity."
"We were concerned by a liability standpoint. You can only speculate on the ramifications of a failure of that kind of product."
Paul Vander Tuig trademark and licensing director
For events such as the Big 12 Conference tournament, when one of Kansas' trademarks appear with an identifying mark of the Big 12, the conference receives part of the money.
Vander Tuig said some people used identifying marks without submitting the proper paperwork or notifying his office, but usually these people told him they did not know the University had these items trademarked.
"It's not real commonplace, but it happens," he said. "With all the stuff about licensing and trademarks in the news the past few years, you just have to wonder if these people have been under a rock."
Two campus organizations play name game

Acronym stirs confusion about groups' monikers

For two student groups, quite a bit. Students For Inclusive Responsible Science Testing (Students FIRST) and the coalition Students First could cause confusion, said David Mitchell, president and founder of Students FIRST and Hays junior.
But the Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center recognizes the names as entirely different.
Mitchell said the application for Organizations & Leadership, which he registered in November, included the
group's full name and the acronym Only the full name appears on Organizations and Leadership's list, however.
"It sounds more like an oversight," Mitchell said. "It's still disappointing to see that happen. We wanted to make sure the distinction got out."

Sam MacRoberts, student body presidential candidate for Students First, said that he couldn't see how students could confuse the two groups but that he wished the names were less similar.

Alarm problem triggers fire watch at McCollum
A glitch in fire-alarm equipment prompted an overnight fire watch in the corridors of McCollum Hall last week.
According to police reports, a frontdesk employee reported that a fire alarm control panel was beeping and emitting an electrical burning smell shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday.
After examining the panel, a housing maintenance employee discovered a short in the power supply that affected the south and east wings of the residence hall.
Phil Garto, associate director of student housing maintenance, said that while fire detection devices still were working, the notification horns weren't.
As a precaution, Douglas County medical and fire crews made arrangements with housing personnel to organize a fire watch, where students patrolled the halls every half hour until equipment was repaired. In case of a fire, the monitors would alert residents.
Garito said the equipment problems were beyond University maintenance workers' capacity to repair and repair crews from the company where the system was purchased repaired the alarm the next morning.

Erik Goodman, Dayton, Ohio, senior,
and president of Students for a Free
Tibet, said that tomorrow Gyatso also
would discuss his time in prison.
Gyatso spent 33 years in Chinese pris-

China's occupation of Tibet and was
released in 1992.
Gyatso will speak at 7 p.m. tomorrow at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The program is free and open to the public.

Credit card companies offer online security tips
NEW YORK — Stung by a string of credit card thefts online, card companies are trying to teach merchants better security.
Not doing so, they fear, could cause an erosion in consumer confidence, impeding e-commerce and the use of cards online.
Threat of credit thefts has long existed in uncrusulpulous waiters copying down cards, or store clerks mishandling carbons. Online, the difference is magnitude — a single Internet strike can net a thief thousands of numbers.
Two weeks ago, for instance,
SalesGate.com of Buffalo, N.Y., joined
the growing list of e-commerce victims
when it discovered hackers had stolen
thousands of numbers from a site it
thought to be safe.
"If you don't take measures to protect yourselves, this can become a playground for organized crime," said Stephen Orfei, vice president of emerging technologies at MasterCard.
Late last year, a hacker stole 300,000 credit card numbers from CD Universe and released thousands of them on a Web site when the music retailer refused to pay a ransom.
First lady, NYC mayor spoofed at charity event
NEW YORK — First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton passed another initiation rite in her adopted state, laughing throughout a spoof on New York politics that made a lot of jokes — some of them crude — at her expense.
Her Republican Senate rival, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, also was roasted at the annual event staged by political reporters, but he nearly stole the show
with his own scripted performance in full drag — blonde wig, dress, makeup.
Saturday night's event was the first time the mayor and first lady had met face to face since she began campaigning more than a year ago.

exchanged pleasantries when she entered the room at the New York Hilton, but when she walked away, he turned to reporters and said: "I'm very, very encouraged that we are drawing a lot of out-of-towners to this performance."
The annual show — a $400-ahead black tie dinner that benefits homeless shelters, soup kitchens, educational programs and other local charities — is renowned for its rollicking tastelessness and outrageous jokes.
When a rider explained that the Yankees actually play in Yankee Stadium, the Hillary character answered: "Sorry ... We live in Chappqua now, you know. That's Indian for 'The Land of Separate Bedrooms.'"
One gag featured the Hillary character taking a subway to Shea Stadium so she could watch her favorite team, the New York Yankees.

But Cohen's trip also is aimed at conveying the Clinton administration's interest in building a new relationship between American and Vietnamese armed forces — an interest Vietnam seems to share. He said he would propose several modest steps toward a military-to-military relationship.
Rescuers uncover bodies from mine explosion
Cohen, the first U.S. secretary of defense to visit Vietnam since the war ended in April, 1975, is expected to address another combat legacy: the poisonous human and environmental cost of having sprayed millions of gallons of a chemical defoliant called Agent Orange in the Vietnamese countryside.
KRASNODON, Ukraine — Asher-faced relatives stood in silence beneath a light snow yesterday and watched rescues coated in coal dust drag up the bodies of 81 people killed in a Ukrainian mine explosion and load them onto refrigerator trucks.
Survivors of the former Soviet republic's worst mine disaster in decades described a confusing burst, a suffocating cloud of coal dust and the sickening smell of smoke before they were brought to the surface.
Ukraine's mine accidents often are caused by methane, a naturally occurring, odorless and highly explosive gas that sees out of coal seams and can build up in poorly ventilated mine shafts.
A preliminary investigation suggested that Saturday's accident was a methane explosion caused by a violation of safety regulations.
But union officials said it could have been a coal dust explosion ignited by welding equipment at the Barakova mine near the eastern town of Krasnodon, about 425 miles east of Kiev.

Alcohol control agency raids Lawrence area
Bars, stores are targeted in operation
By Mindie Miller

Kansas staff writer
Alcoholic Beverage Control agents made 46 arrests at Lawrence bars and liquor stores March 2 and 4. And eight arrests were made March 3 in Topeka.
ABC officials said that seven
ABC agents participated in the three-day, two-city operation, which targeted underage possession of alcohol.
"We will continue to work with licensees to enforce the liquor laws of the state of Kansas," said Bob Longino, ABC director. "More community awareness and action is needed to curb underage possession and consumption of alcohol."
Half of the Lawrence arrests were made March 2, including the 15 arrests for underage possession that were made during identification checks at Lawrence bars. The other eight arrests were made as part of
ABC's Cops-in-Shops program, a program in which agents work with liquor store licensees to arrest minors attempting to purchase alcohol.
Scott Holeman, communications director for the Kansas revenue department, which oversees the ABC, said that with Cops-in-Shops, the owner of the store might know the agent was present but the person selling alcohol did not.
"The purpose of this program is to make sure everyone plays by the rules," he said.
Chris Joseph, a clerk at Ray's Liquor Warehouse, 1215 W. Sixth St., and Arkansas City senior,
"The purpose of this program is to make sure everyone plays by the rules."

said that ABC agents had set up stings in his store but that he knew the agents would be there. He said that knowing the agents were there increased pressure for him to follow the rules.
"I always card people anyway because I can get in a lot of trouble for selling to people who are underage," he said. "This just makes me a little more likely to card."
Agents made 23 additional arrests March 4 in Lawrence 14 at bars for underage possession, five at liquor stores for minors in possession and four for furnishing alcohol to minors.
Holeman said he could not disclose the names of the bars or liquor stores that were involved in the operation because appeals processes were still pending.
A minor in possession charge for people 18 to 21 years old
draws a minimum fine of $200,
with no maximum fine.
Offenders under 18 face a fine
between $200 and $500.
Only one minor was arrested Friday at a Topeka bar for possession of alcohol. Four arrests for minors in possession and three arrests for furnishing alcohol to minors also were made in Topeka.
Holeman said Topeka probably had significantly fewer arrests because the agents spent two of the three nights in Lawrence.
Crossing KU streets may be perilous

Changes could prevent mishaps with pedestrians
By Jim O'Malley writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
Improvements to 15th Street might have prevented last Monday's automobile-pedestrian accident.
There are no marked crosswalks on 15th Street between Nismith Drive and Iowa Street, but a lot of people cross 15th between Green Hall and Jayhawker Towers on the south and Learned Hall on the north.
It can be riskv.
It can be sadly.

Although this intersection can be dangerous, it's not a deathtrap. Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said there had been one other automobile-pedestrian accident on that part of 15th Street in the past three years.
Other locations have had more accidents. In the last three years, there have been three automobile -pedestrian accidents at Irving Hill Road and Naismith Drive, and two at Irving Hill Road and Burdick Drive, Mailen said. There are marked crosswalks at those locations.
Greg Wade, landscape architect for design and construction management, said he was not aware of any immediate plans to mark a crosswalk at 15th Street and Burdick Drive.
And marking a crosswalk at the intersection might actually make it more dangerous to cross the street, said John Mullens, assistant director of the public safety office.
"A pedestrian trying to cross four lanes of traffic is taking his safety into his hands."
Mullens said there were cross-
Proposed pedestrian safety measures The University's long-term Transportation Study and Master Plan proposes adding a median and pedestrian barrier down the center of 15th Street between Burdick and Naimmith drives to serve as a pedestrian refuge. Two automobile-pedestrian accidents have occurred there in the past three years.

walks at all intersections, whether they were marked by white lines and signs. Several years ago, the City of Lawrence marked the crosswalks at the intersection of 15th Street and Engel Road. Mullens said there had never been any pedestrian accidents there, but that in the first six weeks the signs were up, three pedestrians were hit.
"So the city came and cut off the signs and painted over the white lines with black paint," Mullens said.
He said the University community developed bad habits on Jayhawk Boulevard, where everyone jaywalks and drivers expect it. So campus pedestrians develop a false sense of security and don't keep a proper lookout when they cross streets, especially at marked crosswalks, he said.
Pedestrians encounter another problem on 15th Street - multiple lanes to cross.
"One of the problems with 15th Street is that with anything short of a traffic light, a pedestrian trying to cross four lanes of traffic is taking his safety into his hands," Mullens said.
pedestrians from crossing outside of the crosswalks. There would be two breaks in the barrier for marked crosswalks, and the crosswalk at Burdick would be marked.
The University's long-term Transportation Study and Master Plan proposes adding a median and pedestrian barrier down the center of 15th Street between Burdick and Naismith to serve as a pedestrian refuge and to keep
But engineering solutions to safety problems can be expensive, Mullens said. When funds aren't available, the public safety office relies on education and then enforcement as a last resort.
But at a university, everybody should know they need to look both ways when crossing a street, he said, so pedestrians shouldn't be surprised at jaywalking tickets.

Number of stolen bicycles drops dramatically in '99
By Sara Shepherd
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
1999 was not a good year for bike thieves.
According to KU Public Safety Office records, there were only 10 bikes stolen from campus in 1999, compared with counts in the 30s in 1997 and 1998, and the 60s in 1995 and 1996.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the public safety office said he was unsure of the reason for the decrease in bike thefts. He said if cyclists took the time to lock up their bikes properly, it would be harder for someone to steal them.
The bikes, which ranged in value from $30 to more than $3,000, were stolen from residence halls, parking lots and outside of other campus buildings. Bailey said the sites seemed to be evenly dispersed.
Bailey said most of the bikes were reported to be locked when they were stolen. If the lock were applied incorrectly, however, thieves could still take most of the bike — or just cut the chain.
Scott Trettel, an employee at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, 602 Massachusetts St.. described some of the bike locks that were available. He said cable locks and U-locks were the most common styles.
Cable locks, ranging in price from $10 to $20, are the least expensive — and weakest — kind of lock. Trettel said the locks' chains or cables easily could be cut with bolt cutters.
"They're the first ones to be
"Unfortunately, most stolen bikes are not recovered."

stolen from campus," he said.
U-locks, which cost between $35 and $80, are like oversized pad locks, Trettel said. They are virtually impossible to cut, and many brands actually come with guarantees and insurance, he said.
There is also a device called a seat leash cable that prevents the theft of quick release bike seats, Trettel said. The cable costs about $6.
Bailey said registering bikes could be helpful in attempting to locate them if they were stolen. City law requires that all bikes must be registered in Lawrence.
For 25 cents, owners can purchase a bicycle license from either the KU Public Safety Office, Lawrence Police Department, Student Union Activities or several local bike shops. Bailey said the bike's brand, serial number and any other identifying information is placed on file with police, and the owner attaches a numbered sticker to his or her bike.
But Bailey said chances were slim that a stolen bike would ever be ridden by its owner again.
"Unfortunately, most stolen bikes are not recovered," Bailey said. "But we do what we can to try and find them."

Unions not meant for academics, classes should meet elsewhere
The Kansas and Burge unions serve important functions for students at the University of Kansas. The bookstores, Student Union Activities and the Jaybowl are among the organizations housed in the unions. Hundreds of activities take place in the Unions each month, ranging from luncheons to student organization meetings.
However, during the last few semesters, an increasing number of classes have been meeting in the Unions. This semester, 69 classes regularly meet in the unions. This is an unusually high amount for a university of this size. Classes should not be conducted in the unions unless there are emergency situations or scheduling problems.
With so many buildings on campus that have classrooms, it is odd that such
Many classes meet in Unions, but there are empty classrooms in other campus buildings
a large number of classes meet in the unions, where there are no actual classrooms. The unions are poorly suited to hold classes. They were built for the purpose of conducting University programs, providing student entertainment and helping with various other student needs.
Students deserve a better place to learn than one that is close to or on the same floor as a Pizza Hut and Starbucks. How is a student supposed to learn when there are hundreds of people milling around just outside the
door? The unions do not provide an environment conducive to learning. The seats in Alderson Auditorium do not have pull-out desktops, forcing students to write on notebooks in their laps or use lapboards, and many of the Alcoves do not have chalkboards or marker boards.
There are classrooms across campus that are open later than 3:30 p.m. Although many students don't like late afternoon classes, it is better to have classes in the now-vacant classrooms during the afternoon than in the unions, which are not conducive to academics.
Hopefully, the increase in classes in the Unions is just because of scheduling mistakes, and that in future semesters, classes will be moved to more desirable locations.

Gore should be upfront about funds
Recently, a longtime associate and political fund-raiser for Vice President Al Gore was convicted of channeling illegal contributions to Democratic candidates in 1996. This investigation is the latest in a growing trend of investigations by the U.S. Justice Department's campaign finance task force.
Last Saturday, Gore announced that he would make overhauling the campaign finance system a central theme of his presidential bid. This was a smart political move. He and other candidates should recognize the current political climate and adjust to it accordingly to avoid the distrust and conspiracy that may surround a candidate's campaign. While the prosecution in this investigation contends that Gore was unaware of any problems in the fund-raising tactics
Vice president needs to address campaign finance issues before voters turn their backs on him
of Maria Hsia, longtime associate and defendant in this case, the background of the trial leaves one confused and disappointed.
The charges brought against Hsia are representative of an open-ended question in politics: How far can we push the rules or bend them to suit the needs of a career politician?
Disillusionment with the political process is running rampant among many college students, and more often than not, it results in apathy. Evidence of this is the failure of our own student
body to participate in greater numbers in Student Senate elections.
From Whitewater and the Lewinsky scandal to campaign-finance reform issues, the Clinton-Gore administration has provided the Republican National Committee with enough inspiration to continue unearthing any wrongdoing by anyone associated with the Democratic National Committee. This is because some politicians cannot play by their own rules, and everyone is paranoid that they gain the upper hand unfairly.
It is hoped that Gore will use his new campaign twist to be honest and upfront about campaign finance issues before it's too late. In general, it's time that our would be bawakers tackle substantive issues beyond those of political greed and contempt.

Living with host family key part of study abroad
When I came to Spain, I thought I was leaving behind the world of my sister's wedding plans. I was wrong. After joining my host family, I now have two sisters getting married in September. I couldn't be a happier brother.

name, most Spanish kids do, finally leaving when they get a nest of their own. Of my host family's three kids, only the oldest, who is married, has his own place.
My host sister and her fiance are always together. He's often present at the dinner table or sitting around watching a movie at night, already fully integrated into the family. It's not too hard because both families live a few blocks apart and attend the same local church. In a city of four million, you can't get much closer.
When I first arrived, it wasn't wedding plans, but new apartment decoration that occupied the young couple's lives. They already have an apartment which is called a house in this city where only the privileged few live outside of apartment buildings
— that they've been remodeling. They will move in after the wedding and after having the place for almost a year. Housing is hard to come by. That's one of the reasons why kids don't leave home.
Being part of two wedding plans has been interesting. Comparing the traditions and lives of families on two different continents has been a great way to get to know my host family. It's just another way in which they have taken me in. My host mom especially has been a great help, taking the time to have conversations about anything from politics to where to go for a haircut. She also cooks a filling supper every night, does my laundry and makes my bed, even after I do my best to make it that morning.
Now, my real sister and my host sister are both moving on to buying dresses and finalizing plans for their big days. I don't hear too much in e-mails from home, but it's fun to watch my host mom return from shopping trips with her daughter, shaking her head at her daughter's mercurial tastes that can make the trips stretch long past slaesta time. I can see my own mother saying the same things. And although they may complain a bit, it's always with a smile. I think they're just remembering their own days as young women.
This is not residence hall life. I can't imagine studying abroad without a host family. There is simply no better way to learn about a culture. I feel especially lucky to be living with this family. If anything, it made the transition too easy. I know that come next September when I raise a toast to my sister at her wedding back home, there actually will be two people I'll be thinking about.

Political Activism 101: Writing to your legislator
Not many of us pay too much attention to the actions of our legislators or the president, but should we? Every day, they make major decisions that impact laws, foreign affairs and the future state of the country. Evidence indicates that our letters to government officials do make a difference.
So write them!
According to the Friends Committee on National Legislation, a Quaker lobbying body in Washington, D.C., letters and phone calls from constituents are the single most influential form
Maybe it would help if you knew what happens when you write. Typically, a legislative aide opens your letter and assigns it to the aide who is responsible for that subject. This is the aide best
of communication affecting the positions of members of Congress on issues and legislation. Congressional staff members say that letters do make a difference — and they would know because they are the ones who open the mail and pass the resulting opinions on to their bosses.

suited to handle your concern. That aide summarizes what you have said and tallies your position on the issue in comparison to other constituents' opinions. The individual then hands his or her boss the total numbers and summarized positions. It is your letter that will educate the aide and therefore influence your representative.
Of course, committing yourself to write the letter is the first step. Being effective is the next. Letters can be reviewed for effectiveness with a simple overview of a few major points. Make sure you've done the following:
- Spell the legislator's name correctly, and type or write neatly.
Address only one issue in a letter.
Keep it short and to the point.
Add a sentence in its loft.
■ If at all possible, begin by thanking the legislator for a recent vote, speech or other action that you approve of.
■ Give reasons for your stance in your own words — draw on personal experience.
Be aware of your timing. Earlier in the Congressional session, a letter addressing a broad topic may be more in order than later in the session when that issue has gone through a bill process. Make sure you know where the issue stands so you can address, for example, the fact that the bill has just gone to committee.
So let's say that you really get into this letter-writing thing. Yes, you can write too often. However, ideally you want to establish a relationship with your representative and get your opinion across. Don't be annoying, though. Oh, and generally you should really only write your representative. Only break that rule if the person you are writing to is the chairperson of a committee that is attending to your issue.
A good way to communicate the important information and not be too concerned about your frequency is to persuade others to write as well.
Working to change the climate of public opinion is essential.
And yes, you should write a letter. Hand-written postcards are said to be almighty, but not quite, as good as a letter. Mass produced letters and cards supposedly get little attention unless the numbers are overwhelming. Petitions with hundreds of names are said to get about as much attention as one well-written letter — go figure. However, cards, form letters and petitions are better than nothing, so go with what you can.
The more people who write, the more your representative, who represents you, will feel obligated to listen to what the people of their district are thinking.
So, now all you have left to do is form a few opinions and start advocating them — and that's the easiest part of all.

Feedback Diallo case not one of racism, brutality
I appreciate the March 1 column by Eric M. Tullis that brought attention to Black History Month but am resentful of the fact that he chose to connect this month with the killing of Amadou Diallo.
While Diallo's death was indeed tragic, this case doesn't involve racism or crime brutality. A biased, sensationalized media has resulted in inaccurate information that damages people's personal conclusions.
A further disconcerting sight is that celebrities promote causes that they aren't informed of. This ignorance results in public ignorance, such as the Diallo case and the impending execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal, when the mention of a famous name motivates people blindly to accept an unexplored opinion.

I am saddened Diallo's death, but accidental deaths occur frequently. This is just the death the media decided to report. I believe that this column would have better served its readers by relaying the importance of Black History Month. Our interests would be better served by promoting unity and acceptance, rather than by condemning a case that was presented by those self-serving, biased storytellers whom we call journalists.
On my way into Twente Hall a few days ago, I was struck by the sudden smell of spring. The wind was blowing just enough and the hint of flowers filled the air. The grass on campus seemed just the right color and

But our beautiful campus isn't looking its best these days. Stop right where you are. Take everything in. And don't forget to notice all the trash around you. Every day I walk to class and notice the garbage that pollutes our campus. Coke bottles, newspapers, cigarettes and more fill the path, and more often than not, we walk right by it. We are so used to seeing trash that it doesn't even surprise or upset us. We simply accept it.
We've all heard about the importance of keeping our environment clean. But repetition doesn't make this argument any less relevant. We should take pride in our campus and responsibility for its upkeep. Rather than ignoring the problem, we should all make an effort to be part of the solution.

Delta Force unveils campaign platform
Off-campus center union input top list
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
An off-campus housing resource center, improved residence hall recycling and the banishment of credit card companies from the Kansas Union highlight the Delta Force campaign platform.
Delta Force revealed its plan for campus earlier this month. Ben Burton, presidential candidate and Ocean, N.J., junior, said the coalition's strength was its accountability.
"Our blanket theme is that long-term change requires long-term commitment," he said.
The 4-year-old coalition's commitments include improving student experiences on- and off-campus.
Burton and Justin Mills, vice presidential candidate and Lansing junior, said the following about campus issues:
"Our blanket theme is that long-term change requires long-term commitment."
Ben Burton
Delta Force presidential candidate
An off-campus resource center could operate out of the Student Senate office, possibly expanding to the Student Organizations & Leadership Development Center in the future. The center would help students get information about moving off-campus and asking tenants for feedback about where they lived. The center would be student-run at first, possibly financed later by a student fee and would include a paid employee.
"Most of it concerns back to the landlords and not having any idea of who they are," Burton said. "Sometimes you get shown a place and you get stuck with it."
"It's one of those things you just don't need to worry about," Mills said.
- Delta Force also would like to change a city ordinance limiting
the number of nonrelated people living together to four.
Problems with student-run residence hall recycling would be easy to fix, Mills said.
"You walk by them, and they're overflowing," Mills said. "But you have the problem of one RA doing all the work."
Improvements could include having residence assistants make sure the bins on their floors are kept sorted, and having the custodial staff take the items to a central location in each building where KU Recycling would collect them.
One problem has been that recycling programs won't get moving until October, making it harder to get people interested.
"The key is to get it ready to go when students move in," Burton said.
DEL
FORCE
The unions do not have enough student input, and changes occur without student involvement, according to the coalition. Changes to the unions would be brought
before Student Senate for approval.
"We put money in to it, we should have a say what goes in there."
Mills said.
Burton said that although he was against corporations in the unions, the ultimate decision should be up to the students, not the Memorial Corp.
Moreover, credit card tables sponsored by student organizations should be moved out of the unions. Burton said they overshadowed important student groups with tables there.
The Student Legislative
Awareness Board should focus more on the awareness aspect than lobbying in Topeka.
"I think a lot of that is more executives on Student Senate hobnobbing with legislators for intern-
snips,
Burton said.
"It has to be
refocused on
the student
body."
Mills said this could happen in three ways. The first would be to actively enroll students to vote. Secondly, political issues could be presented to students through forums,
speakers and columns in The
University Daily Kansan. Finally,
the Student Legislative Awareness
Board would need a plan to get people out to vote.
Burton: Stresses need for off-campus resource center
Burton said he also would like to see more aggressive tactics taken with the state legislature, like protests on the Capitol steps in Topeka.
New dance space glides into view
Club to use shop's floor, instruction
By John Audiehelm
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
With yesterday's opening of the Flamingo Dance Academy, 1117 Massachusetts St., the KU Ballroom Dancing Club could have a new place to practice.
its owner, Wade Gandil, has offered both his dance instruction and the use of his $42,000 hardwood floor.
Bogdan Pathak, the club's president, said that although no plans had been finalized, the club would take Qandil up on the offer.
"This is a great opportunity, so we're going to find some way to use it," said Pathak, Albuquerque, N.M., senior.
Qandil said he would give the group a reduced instruction fee.
nights occasionally.
"Right now it's still open," he said. "I gave them a very good discount, and I don't charge them for the room at all."
Qandil charged members of the club $5 to get into last night's live-band swing set. The regular price was $10. The academy plans to hold open dance
Nicole Bauer, club member and Lawrence graduate student, said that the club had practiced at the ballroom in the Kansas Union but that it was often rented out and not available.
"We looked all over for space," she said.
Bauer was dancing with Michael Moore, club member and Lenexa graduate student, and both said they were impressed with the dance floor and the building.
"It would be a very good place to come and learn and teach," Moore said.
They said that swing dancing required a lot of space for each couple and that the circular floor, with its 40-foot diameter, provided just that.
Qandil said that about 225 people attended yesterday afternoon's ballroom dance and that about 200 were at the evening show. Each show featured a live band, he said.
Last night also featured a swing contest, he said, with one couple winning a trip to Cancun, Mexico.
Qandil said his dance academy was no-smoking both to protect the floor and to maintain a
healthy atmosphere.
He said his academy also did not have an open bar because excessive drinking was unhealthy. Instead, Qandil said he served two complimentary drinks to dancers of legal age.
Sabra Volek, Lawrence junior, said she was not a member of the ballroom dancing club but was an avid swing dancer.
"The day I turned 18, I started going to the Bottleneck swing set," she said.
She said that after The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., stopped holding its Sunday night swing sets, she went to the sets at Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St.
Volek said if the Flamingo Dance Academy offered swing nights, she definitely would attend.
"It's a beautiful room," she said. "Good floor. You don't see good floors very often."
Irene Ratzlatz, Moundridge teen, said her sister Sonia Ratzlatz had been one of the ballroom dancing club's founders and that the academy filled a void in the area.
"I think Lawrence has been due for a place like this for a long time," she said.

Colorful party demonstrates Brazil's culture
By Ryan Blethon
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Saturday night at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., the University of Kansas Brazilian Student Association sponsored Carnaval 2000. The annual Carnaval, which is a smaller version of the one that takes place in Brazil, was sold out and attracted about 750 people. The event is in its 23rd year.
People of every color, size and shape showed up for Carnaval this year.
In Brazil, Carnaval takes place sometime before the beginning of Lent and is celebrated with masked balls, parades and lots of Samba music.
Diana Victor, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, senior and president of the Brazilian Student Association, said that although Brazilians came for the event, it was for everybody. Carnaval is a great way to expose Americans to the richness of Brazilian culture, she said.
"There were so many Americans who came to me by the end of the night and said, 'thank you so much,'" Victor sald.
Green and yellow — the colors of the Brazilian flag — were the colors of the night. Any surface that could be wrapped in streamers were. Balloons of the same colors clung to the ceiling. Green and yellow jerseys of the Brazilian soccer team also were a crowd favorite.
If people were not wearing soccer jerseys, they were wearing next to nothing. Scantily clad women with boas draped on their shoulders were not an uncommon sight. Two partygoers even fashioned a shower curtain to hang around them.
A performance by the Chicago Samba Band was the highlight of the event. The seven-man band had the sweaty crowd bouncing and gyrating from the moment it hit the stage to the moment it left.
Samba music is an integral part of Carnaval. Katherine Santos, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, senior, said it was unique.
"Samba is such a different dancing," she said, "I think people are attracted to it."
When the band took breaks recorded Samba music poured from the speakers, and most of the crowd did not miss a beat.
"It's a really unique rhythm, which I can't really dance to," she said.
Carnaval rocks the Granada
Santos admitted that she had problems keeping up with Samba dancing.
Troy Cook, Lawrence resident, said that even though Lawrence was more diverse than other Midwest cities, it was nice to see
something different.
"I wish that it would grow into a Lawrence thing," he said.
Ashleigh Self. Clearwater senior, said she had not missed a Carnival since she came to the University and had become fascinated with Latin culture.
Santos said Lawrence needed more events to showcase different cultures.

Asian gala gives taste of cultures
By Mike Hoffman
writer@konsan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Asian-American Student Union and other multicultural student organizations held the third annual Taste of Asia event Saturday night, which also was the conclusion of the Asian-American Festival at the University of Kansas.
Soebur Razzaque, president of the Bangladesh Students Association and Dahka, Bangladesh, graduate student, said attendance was down this year. Between 400 and 500 people attended. "It wasn't as grand as last year," he said.
Still, the event, which was held at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., featured a variety of Asian food. Members of the AASU, the Bangladesh Students Association, the Chinese Student and Scholar Friendship Association, the Korean Student Association, the Taiwanese Student Association and the Indonesian Student Organization provided foods from their respective countries.
"This was a time to bring American friends to a different culture that they may not see every day," said Nathan Chou, a Springfield, Mo., senior who attended the event.

The food varied from white rice to a Bangladeshi dish called samosa, which is a deep-fried dumpling filled with beef, potatoes and other vegetables.
Following the culinary exhibition at the ECM, the organizations gathered at the Kansas Union Ballroom and demonstrated customs including martial arts demonstrations and fashion and dance shows.
Lindy Ruble, a member of the Korean Student Association and a Lenexa freshman, said the festival was a good way for various Asian cultures that were represented on campus to get together and show aspects of their heritages.
The Korean Student Association put on the martial arts demonstration. Dustin Smoot, Chanute senior, was a participant.
"It was an opportunity to show people the different techniques we get to learn as black belts in tae kwon do," he said.
As part of the demonstration, the grand master broke a block with his head.
"That was most impressive," Smoot said. "But if you really understand tae kwon do, you would not really be shocked."

Smoke sends revue to parking lot
Continued from page 1A
At 9:30 p.m., when the crowd returned, the cast of "Hocus Focus" regained focus and picked up where it left off 75 minutes earlier.
Klaus Diem, Delta Upsilon member and Madison, Wis., senior, was moments from performing when the alarm sounded, but he said he didn't think the show was ruined.
"This is just for fun tonight," Diem said. "I just feel bad for them because they had to stop in the middle because of a mistake."
Amy Clark, Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority member, who performed in the first act, "Quit Hoggin' the Road," agreed.
"I absolutely don't think the show was ruined," said Clark, a Dallas senior. "I think everybody's ready for unexpected things."
The evacuation was unexpected but not show-stopping. The casts of "Hocus Focus" and the three shows that followed added impromptu jokes and connotations about the event, to which the crowd erupted in laughter.
After the last curtain fell at 11:35 p.m. and the nearly 400 cast and advisory board members filled the stage for the finale, an awards ceremony honored individuals as well as entire casts. Awards also were given for outstanding community service for the Douglas County United Way.
Finally, at 12:30 a.m. yesterday, the crowd filed back out of the auditorium, and the 51st annual Rock Chalk was complete.

Local United Way receives $35,000 courtesy of revue
Bv Jessie Mever
wrter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Although a main focus for Rock Chalk Revue was having fun, it was not all just song and dance.
This year, the revue donated $35,000 to the Douglas County United Way, $2,000 less than last year, said Angie Bezdek, business manager for the revue and Topeka senior.
The program is put on by living organizations to raise money for the United Way, which raises money for 29 local health and human service agencies, said Jo Bryant, executive director of the United Way.
"The money is used locally." Bryant said of the first donation toward this year's United Way campaign. "It's one of our largest gifts, and there are a variety of activities that the money goes to."
Although the donated amount was down, Bryant said any money the United Way received would make a difference in the community.
"Our focus is helping people throughout the community," Bryant said. "The students are wonderful about coming out to help."
The donation consists of the profits beyond the costs of the show.
"We haven't got our final bill yet," Bezdek said. "But I would say it was between $17,000 to $18,000."
That bill includes the cost of using the Lied Center, the lighting and sound system, salaries to some of the advisory board members, trophies and other costs. Those things were paid for with revenue from ticket sales, which Bezdek estimated to be about $8,000.
Bezdek said she was surprised by the smaller-than expected audience on Friday night, which contributed to the decline in profits.
The chapters that participated in the show provided the money for the sets and costumes for their own shows, said Marie Mossberger, Rock Chalk Revue executive director.

Tornado season approaches again
Weather service plans drills, tests to stress safety
By Kondwa Kankondo
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The National Weather Service in Topeka wants Kansans to be on the lookout for killer weather this week as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week.
Last year in Kansas, tornadoes killed six people and caused $152 million in property damage. Mike Akulow, warning coordinator meteorologist for the weather service, said this season also would be active in Kansas.
He said that last year 64 tornadoes touched down in the state — 16 more than normal. At least 155 people were reported injured, he
said.
To promote awareness, the week's events include statewide tornado safety drills and warning siren tests tomorrow, one in the afternoon and evening.
A press release said drill times would vary throughout the state.
would vary the height of the state. Although the bulk of last year's tornadoes occurred in May and June, the weather service said it was warning people earlier in the year to keep fatalities and injuries to a minimum.
Additionally, local tornado warning sirens, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Weather Radio alarms and the emergency alert system will be activated to signal the start of the drill.
The weather service also is emphasizing the dangers of flash flooding, large hail, lightning and damaging winds.
On May 3,1999,the first Kansas tornado deaths in six years
occurred when a tornado hit central Kansas and damaged more than 8,000 buildings. Most of last year's tornadoes occurred during April, May and June in south-central Kansas, leaving the Lawrence area relatively unscathed.
Akulow said research suggested that global warming and La Niña — the cooling of water in the Pacific Ocean — might have affected weather patterns in recent years.
"This year we have had a record warmest winter nationally." Akulow said. "And Topeka had its fifth warmest winter."
According to the National Weather Service, the nation was experiencing its warmest winter on record.
Akulow said he didn't know whether the warm winter and early arrival of spring would push up tornado season, however.

Clinton exchanges fire with NRA about stronger gun control laws
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Charges of dishonesty and scare tactics flew yesterday in a brawl between President Clinton and the National Rifle Association about tougher gun laws. In a mocking broadside, Clinton tore into the group for its knee-jerk reaction to any gun safety measure.
Clinton's accusations brought an incendial rebuttal from Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice-president, who said the president exploited gun deaths for political purposes.
George W. Bush of Texas.
"I've come to believe that he needs a certain level of violence in this country," LaPierre said. "He's willing to accept a certain level of killing to further his political agenda and his vice president, too."
At issue was a new advertising campaign in which nRA president Charlton Heston all but accuses the president of lying in his characterizations of the group as an impediment to sensible laws and public safety.
But the sparring was more broadly about the president's two-track effort to use his final year to win some of the gun controls that have eluded him so far and to inject the subject into the presidential campaign, pitting his vice president, Al Gore, against Republican Gov.
Clinton, appearing on ABC's "This Week," said the NRA was ruthlessly brutal in helping to defeat members of Congress who gave the nation laws such as the Brady Bill, which requires a waiting period for gun purchases, and the ban on assault-type weapons.
He dismissed as wounded
rhetoric the group's contention that he unfairly overlooked the NRA's record of promoting gun safety and toougher enforcement of existing laws.
"These crocodile tears," Clinton said, "I don't think it will wash with
the voters, even with Moses reading the script."
Clinton: Said the NRA overreacts to gun-control laws.
Heston, an actor, played Moses in the movie The Ten Commandments.
LaPierre, also on "This Week," attributed Clinton's renewed focus on guns to his interest in getting Gore elected. "The pollsters and consultants are telling them, 'Scare suburban women,'" he said.
"The pollsters and consultants are telling them, 'Scare suburban women.'"
Wayne LaPierre NRA executive vice-president
Among other steps, Clinton wants people who make purchases at gun shows to be subject to background checks that could take as long as 72 hours. Many congressional Republicans and the NRA want such checks to be instant or at least no longer than 24 hours.
"I just think that the knee-jerk reaction to any gun safety measure is wrong." Clinton said of the NRA. "If you do one little thing that requires any accommodation ... they think it's the end of the world."
Following Clinton, who taped his interview Friday, LaPierre wasted no time going after, what he called, the level of dishonesty Clinton is capable of.
He said the Clinton administration had been singularly lax in enforcing gun laws already on the books. "You can't care about stopping crimes with guns and give the country a complete lack of enforcement," he said.

Iranian reformist attacked in Tehran
Victim a friend of Iran's president
The Associated Press
Saeed Hajjarian, a pillar of President Mohammed Khatami's popular reformist movement and a member of Tehran's municipal council, was rushed to the hospital after a gunman on a high-powered motorcycle approached and fired at him twice while he was on his way to work, witnesses said.
TEHRAN, Iran — A close confident of the Iranian president was shot at close range and seriously wounded yesterday in a shocking daylight attack reminiscent of last year's killings by vigilantes sympathetic to Iran's hard-liners.
He was hit by one bullet, which remained lodged in the back of his neck, doctors at the Sina Hospital in Tehran said. At least one doctor said there was a possibility of permanent brain damage.
Majid Ansari, a reformist mem
ber of parliament who visited the hospital late in the afternoon, said Hajjarian was breathing on his own after being taken off a respirator. Iranian television reported last night that Hajjarian had regained consciousness and that later he was wheeled under tight security to another hospital building and could be seen wearing an oxygen mask.
Intelligence Minister Ali Yunesi said the assailants had been identified, but he did not say who they were.
"Our efforts are now under way," he said.
During last month's legislative elections, which were swept by reformists allied to Khatami, Hajiarian angered many of the losing hard-liners with what they considered provocative statements.
Since Khatami's 1997 election, vigilantes believed to be allied with hard-liners have attacked several leading reformists. Many others have said they received anonymous death threats. Public anger against the hard-liners mounted
Hajiarian, director general of the Sobh-EEmrouz daily and a former deputy intelligence minister, had been clamoring for answers about those killings and other secret Intelligence Ministry activities.
after it became known that "rogue" Intelligence Ministry agents had killed five dissidents in late 1998.
Yesterday, one witness told The Associated Press, two men on a motorcycle approached Hajjarian outside the municipal council offices in central Tehran. Both assailants wore helmets. One of them got off the motorcycle, almed a handgun at Hajjarian and fired two shots from less than three feet away, the witness said on condition of anonymity.
engine, said Ali Rabiei, the secretary of Iran's top security body, the Supreme National Security Council. Only security forces and police can use that category of motorcycle, while civilians are restricted to engine capacities of 250 cubic centimeters or less.
The official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted a witness, councilman Mahmoud Alizadeh Tabatabaei, as saying the assailant targeted Hajjarian's temple. But the gunman's hand trembled, Tabatabaei said, and the bullet hit Hajjarian's face.
The pro-Khatami Culture Ministry said in a statement that Hajjarian was targeted by opponents of freedom, the IRNA reported. "Bullets cannot halt the trend of establishment of democracy in Iran," the statement said.

In a speech in the central province of Yazd, Khatamia condemned the attackers as terrorists who had no place among the people.
Nearly every key minister and scores of lesser officials stopped at the hospital out of respect for Hajjarian. The visits underscored Hajjarian's status in Khatami's reformist movement.
The reformists' parliament victory last month dealt a serious blow to the hard-liners trying to preserve the strict Islamic rule that has been in place since 1979.

Melissa Jones (right), Overland Park sophomore, prepares to eat her lunch at Ekdahl Dining Commons. KU researchers, including Connie Detweiler (left), must calculate her caloric intake for two weeks as part of an Energy Balance study that Jones is participating in.
Melissa Jones got paid to learn to play poker. While she killed time being a human guinea pig, Jones and her fellow participants played more than a few hands, and Jones went home with a lot of cash.And not just the money she won at the poker table.
Jones, Overland Park sophomore, is one of the students at the University of Kansas participating in medical research studies.
"I never thought I would participate in medical research. It has a stigma," Jones said.
But Jones got over her skepticism.
The first research program Jones participated in was in Overland Park at Quintiles Medical Research Facility, a contract research company based in Shawnee. The experiment studied the half-life and extended release times for Ritalin, a drug often used to regulate hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder in children.
Ritalin is a methylphenidate that acts as a stimulant in the central nervous system. The drug is administered to help calm persons with hyperactivity or attention deficit disorder and to help them concentrate.
Administered to a non-affected person, it creates about the exact opposite effect, Jones said.
But, the experiment wasn't exactly a comfortable experience. At one point Jones said she had her blood drawn every 15 minutes.
Jones said she felt crazy and a little bit hyper when she took the drug. Other than a terrible headache, Jones said she didn't experience any side effects.
"I was pretty full of holes," said Jones, who was paid $600 for three visits and one weekend stay.
For Jones, spending time with her fellow participants was the most interesting aspect.
"There was a cool guy from South America who was traveling across the country and needed to get money to continue traveling," Jones said.
She added that there were a few other college-age people who participated in the experiment and a couple of regular participants.
"I met people whose career was doing these experiments," Jones said. "And then there were people who just needed something to do or needed some cash."
Students have different motivations for participating in medical research programs. Dr.Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that students might be interested in a particular topic or find it exciting to participate in research. Other students may choose to participate in a program because the research could help a family member who is suffering, he said. However,Rock
acknowledged that many students were just interested in the cash.
But the risks may not be as high as some might think. Rock said medical research was strictly regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, which sets guidelines for researchers. Rock said that people who were unsure about participating in medical research should ask a few key questions.
He said students should ask what review process the experiment went through, whether there is a confidentiality agreement and how results go into

Students who are worried about a study they are considering participating in, should ask a lot of questions.

Students seeking a quick payoff off campus can contact non-university research centers in the
area.
Quintiles in Shawnee can be a savior for students in need of fast cash. The company conducts experiments of varying lengths that often fit nicely into a students' schedule.
The lure of easy money at Quintiles grabbed Selina Hood's attention.
"I heard their ads on the radio, and knowing I was going to Italy this summer, I needed the extra cash," said Hood, Jola senior.
But Hood wasn't sure she wanted to be a part of research. When she told her friends she was considering doing a Quintiles study, they ridiculed her. She acknowledged that she understood the way her friends felt.
"I could never understand anyone who would act like a human lab rat," Hood said.
But being a human lab rat for $600 is a different story. When Hood visited Quintiles for a preliminary screening, she received a packet of information on the experiment. Hood asked a doctor to review the study, and he gave her the green light.
Hood will enter the clinic on Thursday. When she leaves, she will take home with her the final installment of her $600 fee and a lot of interesting stories.
Instead of fixing her thoughts on the green of palm trees, Hood is trying to plan interesting activities for her quarantined spring break getaway at the Quintiles research center.
Jones said her Quintiles study was fun,but kind of weird.
Jones is currently participating in an on-campus research program, which isn't very weird except for the food, she said.
"After my freshman year in the dorms, I thought I had eaten at the cafeteria for the last time," Jones said.
As a part of the Energy Balance research program being conducted, Jones started March 6 eating three meals a day at the Ekdahl Dining Commons on Daisy Hill. Research participants will be dining daily for two weeks at the cafeteria so that researchers can calculate the caloric intake of their meals.
Other than trekking up the hill to eat for a couple of weeks, the program isn't very stressful, Jones said. She said she decided to participate in the 18-month study because at the end she would receive extensive information about her personal body and health management.
Once the energy balance study concludes, Jones figures her days as a guinea pig will be finished.
"Hopefully I will graduate and have a viable career," she said. "I won't make a career of it."

'Hawks fizzle in tournament
By Shawn Hutchinson
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeff Boschee sets a career-high in three pointers on Thursday afternoon, and Kansas wins.
Drew Gooden sets a career-high in three-pointers on Friday afternoon, and Kansas loses.
So ended the Jayhawks' three-year reign as Big 12 Conference Tournament champions this weekend, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys branded Kansas 77-58 in the second round of the tournament at Kemper Arena.
Boschee's seven three-pointers helped Kansas to an 84-60 win against Kansas State in the first-round, whereas Gooden's four three-pointers were almost an afterthought following the Jayhawks' second-round ousting on Friday.
"If you see me out there shooting threes, you know we're out of our offense," said Gooden, a 6-foot-9 forward who led Kansas with 17 points and 10 rebounds. "I was able to knock some down, but that's really not what we wanted to do as a team."
True, the Jayhawks didn't get much going against a senior-laden Oklahoma State team, but things started on a decent note for Kansas. The 'Hawks jumped out to a 6-1 lead behind a Kenny Gregory layup, a Nick Collison free throw and Gooden's first three-pointer at the 18:45 mark of the first half.
Then Oklahoma State guard Joe Adkins hit two straight threes as the Cowboys went on a 21-4 run. The Jayhawks ended up shooting 37 percent from the field in the first half, then they ended up shooting themselves in the foot.
"We had our chances in the first half," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "We turned it over and missed free throws. It could've been a two or three- or four- or five-point game at halftime. Instead, it was 14 or 16 or whatever it was."
The fourth-seeded Cowboys took their
40-26 halftime lead and never let the fifth-seeded Jayhawks back into the game. What possibly hurt Kansas the most was its free-throw shooting. The 'Hawks hit only three of 14 shots from the charity stripe.
"We didn't step up to the challenge," Boschese said. "We didn't show any intensity. We just need to stay focused and do the things Coach says for us to do."
The Jayhawks had won all three previous Big 12 Tournament titles before Friday's 19-point thumping by the Cowboys.
"We have a great respect for the University of Kansas and their program," said Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton, whose team beat the Jayhawks for the second time this season. "They've dominated this league for so long. Today, we just played a little better than the Jayhawks."
Sutton's words, however, didn't seem much consolation to the Jayhawks, who dropped to 23-9 on the season.
"We thought we had a good shot at winning this game," said Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich. "They just outplayed us. It's not like we need to change anything, they're just better. We should've been more ready to play."

rne Jayhawks' NCAA tournament situation is like one of those soundless movies.
You know the plot. The girl is tied to the railroad tracks and a freight train with no brakes is barreling out of a tunnel!
Except that for the Kansas men's and women's basketball teams, it's up to them to release themselves from the tracks and pull off upsets in their respective tournaments.
The Kansas men, 23-9 this season, are the No. 8 seed in the East Region. If the 'Hawks beat No. 9 DePaul, they almost certainly will play No. 1 Duke in the Blue Devils' backyard at Winston-Salem, N.C.
The Kansas women, 20,9 this year, are the No. 8 seed in the Midwest Region. If the 'Hawks beat No. 9 Vanderbilt, they almost certainly will play No. 1 Louisiana Tech — on the Techsters' home floor in Ruston, La.
"I really thought we would be a sixth or a seventh seed, but it doesn't matter what I thought," said Kansas men's coach Roy Williams, whose team will be making its 11th-consecutive appearance in the tournament. "In tournament play it makes no difference. We've got to be ready to play on Friday."
The men's team will face DePaul on Friday, led by Quentin Richardson, who Williams calls one of the premier players in college basketball. Richardson is averaging 16.9 points and 10.1 rebounds per game this season. The Blue Demons are 21-11 overall, including a 9-7 record in Conference USA play.

After DePaul, Kansas could face the Duke Blue Devils, who have blitzed through the regular season and won both the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season and tournament titles.
But don't try to catch the Jayhawks looking past the Blue Demons to the Blue Devils.
"It's one game and you're done," said Kansas guard Kenny Gregory. "So we just have to be ready to play."
After being seeded ninth last season and losing to eventual national champion Purdue in the second round, women's coach Marian Washington would have liked to have been out of the immediate path of a No. 1 seed this season.
"We hoped that we'd get higher than eight or ninth, or lower," she said. "But when you look at the No. 1 seeds Louisiana Tech is probably the most attractive."
Before the Jayhawks can worry about the Techsters, winners of the Sun Bell Conference, they have to beat Vanderbill at 9 p.m. Saturday.
The Commodores finished 20-12 and 6' in the Southeastern Conference, which along with the Big 12. Conference placed six teams in the NCAA tournament.
Although the women's team was disap pointed that it could face the No.1 seed in the second round again, one Jayhawk was glad she was going home.
"We're going back down South," said junior guard Jennifer Jackson, who's from Tuscaloosa, Ala. "And that's how I like it."
Kansas seniors work out to wow professional scouts
NFL dreams come into view for seven players
By Brandon Krisztal sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
In the heart of March Madness, the Kansas football team has its focus elsewhere.
The team is getting set for the start of spring practice this afternoon.. However, Friday marked the last chance for some graduating seniors to work out for NFL scouts before the April 15 and 16 draft.
A handful of scouts tested running back Mitch Bowie, wide receiver Michael Chandler, defensive back Muhammad Abdul-Rahim, defensive linemen Dion Johnson and Dion Rayford, and offensive linemen Dameon Hunt and Chris Enneking at Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
The NFL held its annual scouting combine last month in Indianapolis, but only the Top 350 college seniors were invited. No one from Kansas went.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers scout
Mark Dominik said Friday that with almost 2,000 graduating seniors, visiting schools allowed teams to take a look at players they had not previously seen.
"The thing that we're looking for here is guys that didn't go to the combine, some of the senior class that didn't actually make it to the Indianapolis combine," Dominik said. "We get a chance to come in here again and take a look at them, time them, see how they do on film compared to what they do on the field here in workout."
The athletes were tested in the 40-yard dash, the 20-yard shuttle run, a cone drill, vertical leap, broad jump and bench press. Although he put up some of the top numbers in almost every test, Bowles said he was disappointed.
"Whatever I hoped to accomplish, I sure didn't," he said. "I've got a lot of work to do."
Unlike Bowles, the others were much happier with their performances. Chandler, whose 40-yard dash time was second-fastest behind Bowles, he was pleased with his tests.
Bowles said that he was planning to go to Chicago in April for a similar workout.
"I think I did all right today — a little slower than I wanted to on

the 40 — but it was still a decent time for today," he said. "Overall, I was happy with how I did."
I was happy to hear Hunt, who started 39 games for the Jayhawks, said that his on-the-field performance — competing in the Big 12 Conference against the best — spoke for itself. But he wanted to show what he could do in the weight room, he said. He admitted that he was nervous.
"I just hope to polish up my skills, run a good 40," he said. "Give them a good vertical. (I) hope to profit off my workouts that I've been doing all winter vacation."
Although he spoke for himself, Johnson summed up the seniors' feelings.
"I said to myself, 'It's a once-in-a lifetime opportunity, you know you got nothing to lose," he said.
"I love to go out here and give it all I got," he said. "Go 100 percent and hope for the best."
Abdul-Rahim said he was just hoping to get someone to notice him.
Former Hawks use heads, hearts to get into pros
Jason Thoren is headed to the NFL. The name doesn't sound familiar? Not surprising considering his recent signing with the Chips didn't make SportsCenter. In fact, it got only a cursory mention in the Kansan sports briefs, and guess what? Thoren's a former Jayhawk.
So how come you haven't heard about it? Because Thoren is making it the hard way. Talent makes headlines, and talent isn't Thoren's ticket to the big time.
Thoren leaves today for training camp in Orlando, Fla. If all goes well, he will move on to play for NFL Europe's Berlin Thunder this summer.
Thoren doesn't possess the monstrous size or preternatural speed that's become the norm for NFL linebackers. He went undrafted after his senior season.
But Thoren won't be dissuaded by any of that. If he needs inspiration, he can turn to his best friend Tony Blevins.
That name may not strike a chord either. Blevins played defensive back

for the surging Indianapolis Colts and snagged two interceptions last season — one he returned for a touchdown. Blevins started in the NFL with the San Francisco '49ers practice squad in 1988. He was activated in place of an injured player and then put on the waivers when that player returned. The Colts snatched him off the waiver wire and he's been there since.
since.
Thoren and Blevins both finished their careers at Kansas in 1997. They became close friends in 1994, hanging out at the Jayhawker Towers during winter break. They played video games, went to the Yacht Club and worked out together — and they talked about making it to the NFL.
"It was a goal of ours," Blevins said. "I didn't know it was going to happen like it did, but we talked about some day playing against each other on Sundays."
The way these two guys made it
happen is a refreshing story in a troubled league. The NFL focuses primarily on speed, size and strength. Character is usually considered more for negative reasons. (Will Florida State standout Peter Warrick's draft position drop considering his arrest last season for larceny?) It's just the opposite for these former Jayhawks.
Thoren and Blevins have gotten their chances based more on their characters than physical gifts. Intelligence and determination are their calling cards.
Like Thoren, Blevins wasn't blessed with the natural size and abilities that would make him a lock for the NFL. Last season, FOX announcer John Madden marveled at Blevins' relatively diminutive stature, speculating that he may fit inside a hip pocket. Madden expressed amazement that Blevins was making such an impact for the Colts.
Thoren, however, wasn't surprised.
"Playing with him — he's probably the smartest guy on the field." Thoren said. "He makes quick decisions and makes a lot of plays because of it."
Blevins is coachable, hardworking and determined, Thoren said. When the opportunity arose, Blevins was ready. Thoren remembered when he heard Blevins had

Baseball team snaps four-year drought at No.4 Texas, but can't win series
By Amanda Kaschube
Kansan sportswriter
If last weekend's series against No. 4 Texas was any indication of the future, Kansas' drought against the Big 12 Conference bigwigs might be coming to an end.
team — the first time "It was a bittersweet weekend," said senior Shane Wedd. "We saw how good we can be and it's encouraging. In the two games that we lost, we had a chance to win
Kansas won only four conference games last year, and even though the 'Hawks (13-7 3-3) lost two of the three games in the series, they won in Austin for the first time in four years and also had a win against a ranked team — the first time since last March.
them and it shows us that we can be good." Kansas won the first game, 8-7. Friday but could not overcome Texas' pitching
Sophomore Ryan Klocksien, who went 5-11 in the series, said the offense kept the games in hand.
"We got to the park early and got in a lot of batting practice the whole weekend," he said. "We showed up at the plate, and it showed in our hits. It's a good thing for the freshmen to get experience playing at Texas. It shows them what Big 12 baseball is all about."
Kansas had a chance to win yesterday's game but failed to connect in key situations.
Texas jumped out to a two-run lead in the second jong on two RBI singles. In the
third inning, Klocksien dropped a fly ball in foul territory off the bat of Chris Houser that would have ended the inning. Houser then tripped, and the Longhorns went on to score three runs in the inning.
"If I would have caught that ball it would have been a different story." Klocksen said. "It would have been the final out, and they wouldn't have scored those runs."
Going into the ninth inning down 5-2, the 'Hawks scored one and were in good position with the bases loaded and only one out. But strikeouts by freshman Kevin Wheeler and senior Brett Kappelmann ended the game and a chance of winning the series.
"They came out a better team, but we still played well," Klocksien said. "We should have taken two of three."
In Saturday's loss, Kansas connected on
Wedd said the combination of offense and strong pitching helped snap Kansas' sixgame losing streak to Texas.
10 hits, including two from juniors John Nelson, Doug Dreher and Wedd. Senior pitcher Ryan Schmidt entered the game in relief for sophomore Jeff Davis in the fourth and went five innings, allowing just six hits and two runs.
In Friday's win, Kansas scored eight runs on 12 hits, led by Nelson and Kappelmann who slapped three base hits each. Junior Pete Smart went six innings, allowing three runs and four walks in his third win of the season.
"We did a good job of putting numbers on the board," he said. "We had a good offensive weekend. We took one game from a really good team."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 13).
You're luckier in love — and just about everything else — this year. Go back to a previous idea in March. Call up an old friend, too. Pay off an old debt in April. Listen to an older person in May and learn a skill that's new to you. A secret friend helps you get what you want for your home in June. Your contacts also help you get the perfect job in August. Study for a test coming in December. Faith leads you to an unusual solution to an old problem in February.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Something around your house needs attention. You might be worried that it will cost a lot of money, too. You're smart and handy with tools. Doing this job yourself might not be as hard as you think. Get a book on the subject and read it.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
An old friend would love to hear from you. You know, the friend you've been thinking about lately. This person thinks you're great, and you feel the same way about this person. Don't let the distance between you get in the way. You'll be glad you made the contact.
Gemini: Today is a 7.
Take the information you've learned recently and put it to work. Find a way to bring more money into your pocket — soon. If you're so smart, why aren't you rich? You can be if you stop daydreaming!
Cancer: Today is an 8.
Somebody from your past can help with your future. Your plans haven't taken shape yet. An old friend helps in the parts that you're missing. You might have to make a long-distance call, but it'll be worth the money.
Leo: Todav is a 6.
You and your team don't have a moment to lose. Figure out your budget first so you can put the wheels into motion. A partner is a big help, and old money's better than new. Confer in private and don't waste time flirting. Stick to business.
Libra: Today is a 7.
Virao: Today is a 7.
Scorpio; Today is an 8.
You might be doing something the hard way. Don't get stuck in a rut. Be willing to learn, even from a person who acts like a know-it-all. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is to admit you don't know. Success could be your reward.
You're good at taking care of other people, and they know it, too. Help an older person who's confused get back on the right track first. Later, you and your friends can do something that's more fun for you! Plan a treat; you'll have earned it!
Saaittarius: Today is a 6.
You're looking good — and getting luckier by the minute. Tomorrow and the next day will be marvelous days to launch your dream ship for the cruise to your heart's desire. Hurry up and figure out what you want. The tide's turning in your favor right now.
You can do almost anything you set out to do. You've proven that, time after time. Can you teach somebody else how to do it, though? If you can, you'll increase the amount you can get done! Somebody nearby would be a good teacher, too.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
You and a partner need to get your heads together. A big expense is coming up, and you shouldn't make the decision on your own. Get somebody who understands how to pinch pennies to help. Then, do what this person says.
Aquarius: Today is a 7.
The check that's been coming in the mail could finally arrive. The work you're doing now could bring in more, too. You may be busier for a while, but that's OK if you's finally getting flushed. Look for an extra job, too.
2
Pisces: Today is an 8.
You're getting cuter by the minute! You've been slightly stressed lately, possibly about a domestic project. Well, that's handled, and you're emerging from the battle trumpet. Plan some high-quality cuddling time to celebrate your victory.

Bulls assistant coach takes K-State position
BASKETBALL
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Attorneys were working out final details yesterday on a five-year contract for Chicago Bulls assistant Jim Wooldridge to become head basketball coach at Kansas State.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"We have offered him the job, and he has accepted," Urick said. "We've got an attorney going back and forth on some details. I don't expect anything to come up. It's solid."
Athletics director Max Urick told The Associated Press he did not expect any last-minute snags to keep Wooldridge, 43, from replacing Tom Asbury.
Kansas State is expected to make a formal announcement today and introduce Wooldridge to the media tomorrow

Junior college underdogs prepare for tournament
HUTCHINSON — There will be no four-fat, if there is such a thing.
That is about the only certainty in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division I men's tournament tomorrow through Saturday at the Hutchinson Sports Arena.
This season's tournament is almost more about who is not in the field than the teams still alive. Gone is three-time defending champion Indian Hills of Iowa, top-ranked Barton County and the other two teams in the country — No. 3 Allegany, Md., and No. 7 Sheridan, Wyo., — that entered the postseason with only one loss.
In fact, there are more teams in the 16-team field that did not even receive a vote in the NJCAA's final poll than there are teams ranked in the top 10.

"It means a lot for all the teams that aren't given a chance," Independence coach Mark Downey said. "It's proof that no team is a lock in March Madness."
That was certainly the case for Independence, which started the season 3-8. The Pirates, 23-11, nearly lost their first three games in the region tournament, surviving two double-digit deficits and a potential winning shot at the buzzer. They will face No. 6 Shelby State, Tenn., Wednesday afternoon.

Marino to say goodbye during speech today
FOOTBALL
The Dolphins have called a news conference for 9 a.m. at the team's training facility.
Dan Marino, the most prolific passer in NFL history will announce his retirement today, ending his 17-year career with the Miami Dolphins.
Miami officials have put in countless hours the last two days to get the meeting room ready, the same room where Shula and Johnson gave their departure speeches.
DAVIE, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins are expecting the biggest media event in the 35-year history of the organization, possibly bigger than Don Shula's and Jimmy Johnson's retirements combined.
MICHIGAN
SCORPIO
This one is sure to be bigger.
"I don't think the room is big enough, but we have to make do with what it is because we
understand Danny wants to low-key it and that was his preference," said Haney Greene, the team's vice president of media relations.
Marino, 38, wanted to go out like John Elway and retire as a Super Bowl champion. But after parting ways with the Dolphins, Marino reluctantly rejected an offer to play this year for the Minnesota Vikings.
Friends said Marino turned down the deal because of his bad knees, his loyalty to the Dolphins and his unwillingness to be separated from his wife and five children for an extended time.
Marino's records could last for decades. He holds NFL career marks for touchdowns, 420, yardage, 61.361, and completions, 4.967.

"It makes you proud," Thoren said. "It makes you think you can do it too."
Blevins, for one, thinks that Thoren's character may propel him to an NFL roster.
"Jason just has a passion for the game," Blevins said. "He loves playing, and he loves competing—he has heart."
Whether Thoren has enough
natural ability to go with his heart and take him to the next level is yet to be seen, but he isn't worried about that.
Thoren finished his degree in sports science last semester after completing an internship with the Chiefs. The coaches were so impressed by his attitude and hard work that they gave him an opportunity to play. Thoren just wants to make the most of it.
"They're a nice group of people to give me the chance," he said.
"It's a dream come true, getting to play. I hope to make them proud."
Even if he doesn't make it to the next level, Thoren's work ethic will not disappoint. Throw in some luck, and two friends' dream of squaring off some Sunday afternoon may come true. Who knows, maybe you'll read all about it.

Texas leads Big 12 in football salaries
The Associated Press
LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech has dramatically increased salaries for assistant football coaches, jumping from 10th in the Big 12 Conference last year to third this year, the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported yesterday.
Texas Tech's salary pool increased by more than $207,000 since 1999, according to information obtained by the newspaper through open records requests.
Texas Tech is set to pay its nine new assistant coaches a combined $900,000 in base salary this year. It paid its former staff $692,556 in 1999.
Texas leads the list with one of the
highest-paid assistant coaching staffs in the nation, receiving $1,035,800. Texas A&M was second at $928,419. Kansas was last among the Big 12 schools that would provide the information, paying $647,500 to its assistants.
Baylor, the only private school in the conference, declined to provide its salaries to the newspaper.
"I'm surprised we're not first," said Texas Tech Chancellor John Montford. "I don't want to be second to anybody else. I think we have the finest staff of assistant coaches in the country in addition to the best head coach. I think all of them will eventually be head coaches, but I hope they stay here a while."

Track nets two All-Americans
By Sarah Warren

Kansas writer/switer
It was a bittersweet weekend for the four Kansas track and field athletes competing at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Favetville, Ark.
Juniors Andrea Branson and Charlie Gruber came away All Americans — Branson for the fourth time and Gruber for the second time — in the pole vault and mile, respectively. Meanwhile junior Ashley Feinberg and sophomore Ryan Speers left without medals, but with prospects for the upcoming outdoor season.
In pole vault, Branson placed fifth Friday with a jump of 13-1. The winner, Tracy O'Hara of UCLA, jumped 14-6, which broke
collegiate, NCAA meet and stadium records. Branson's constant challenger, Kansas State's Erin Anderson, placed second by recording a personal best leap of 13-05.
"Andrea was third last year, but the event is evolving very quickly," said Kansas coach Gary Schwartz. "So staying in the top eight is a great accomplishment."
Feinberg, the Jayhawks' other female pole vaulter, tore her patella tendon while attempting the starting height. She already had been scheduled to have corrective surgery on her knee this week before the additional injuries occurred.
"The doctor had told us that she couldn't have done any further damage to her knee," Schwartz said. "We hope it's not career-ending, but we don't know how
"There was no pressure, I looked around and I just focused on the race. For me it's different than running in conference, you're jumping to a new level."

the rehab will turn out."
Sophomore shot-putter Ryan Speers threw 57-5 — three feet short of the personal best that had qualified him for the meet — landing him in last place.
Gruber, however, had a strong showing Friday when he placed third in his preliminary mile
heat. In doing so, he ousted Arkansas' James Karanu for the last available spot in Saturday's 10-man final. Karanu was ranked second of the qualifiers going into the championships, as one of two runners who previously had recorded sub-4 minute times.
In Saturday's final, Gruber finished in sixth place, missing fifth place by less than a second.
"There was no pressure, I looked around and I just focused on the race," Gruber said. "For me it's different than running in conference, you're jumping to a new level."
"In Charlie's case, that was his second-best time ever," Schwartz said. "He went into the final thinking that he was one of the heavy players, and he was. There were eight of those guys that could have won it."
Golfer hopes to work through injuries
By Michael Terry sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
When Kansas golfer Brad Davis tees off today at the Louisiana Classics Invitational in Lafayette, he will be in a position that he's never been in before. The senior will have to prove that he belongs on the golf course.
It was only 10 months ago that Davis was injured when a second-floor balcony railing that he was leaning on collapsed. He suff-
fered a fractured left heel in eight places and compacted and chipped his third vertebrae.
During the fall season Davis was given exemptions at preliminary tournaments to ride a cart, but coach Ross Randall has told him that won't be an option this spring.
"Coach has said at the NCAA Championships they don't allow the use of carts for any type of injury," Davis said. "He doesn't want to put the team in a position where I ride a cart through all the preliminary tournaments,
and we get to the NCAA Finals and I would not be allowed to compete."
Randall said that he felt bad for Davis and hoped he would have a chance to play in his last semester, but that he had to find out one way or another whether he would be able to be competitive out on the golf course.
"We're certainly a deep enough team to be OK without the services of Brad this spring," he said. "But he's worked awfully hard to play again, and it would definitely be a disappointment if he did."
n't."
Although Davis will be traveling with the team, his score will not count toward the team total because he will be competing as an individual.
"This will give me a chance to see how my back and heel hold up through 36 holes of golf and 10 to 11 hours of constant standing," he said. "If I can do it, great, if not then we'll have to see what the effects are. Either way, this is a chance for me to find out what I can do without hurting the team."
Women's golf team takes fourth place in Florida

By Michael Terry
The Kansas women's golf team's weekend tournament in Florida turned out to be a whole lot better than its trip home.
Even though the 'Hawks recorded their highest finish in almost a year, this weekend also brought its share of headaches, which included the airline losing all of the team's luggage.
But at the Northern Illinois University Springlake Intercollegiate tournament in Sebring, Fla., junior Sarah Mahoney, who shot a 154, led the Jayhawks to a fourth-place finish out of 18 teams. Junior Ashley Bishop and senior Sue Tessary both shot 157.
Coach Nicole Hollingsworth said that she was pleased with the team's performance but that she thought everyone could have done
better.
"A couple of players are not hitting the ball as well as they should," Hollingsworth said. "We'll take the time over spring break to work on everyone's weaknesses and hopefully be ready for the next event."
Mahoney, who finished in a tie for 11th in the individual competition, said that she played consistently throughout the tournament.
"Some of the bounces on greens were kind of crazy, but I was able to
be more aggressive on the second day and record a low round," Mahoney said. "Everyone stepped up and contributed this tournament, and I think we're all starting to come together as a team."
The Jayhawk team score was rounded out by senior Carrie Padden, who carded a 159, and freshman Tiffany Krugel, who shot a 163. Krugel recorded her first competitive collegiate round in the 70s, with a 78 in the final round.

Returning receivers ready
By Allan Davis
sports@kanson.com
Kanson sportswriter
Getting open and catching the ball makes a good receiver, but speed kills.
And as spring practice gets under way today, the Jayhawk receiving corps is getting a boost as two experienced, speedy receivers who were medical redshirts last season, 6-foot-4, 204 pound Byron Gasaway and 5-foot-10, 188 pound starter Termaine Fulton, return to action.
Gasaway, a redshirt sophomore, suffered a broken jaw while weightlifting just before the start of the 1999 season. Fulton, a redshirt junior, suffered a high ankle sprain and a chipped bone in the second game of last season.
"It just took forever to heal, so I just had to take a medical redshirt," Fulton said.
Fulton still was having difficulty with his ankle at the start of this semester and had an operation in the middle of February to remove the bone chip. He is expected to be available this week.
Quarterback Dylen Smith was happy to see Fulton return from his injury.
you know he can go deep," Smith said about Fulton.
"He ran a 4.4 (40-yard-dash);
Gasaway also adds blazing speed to the wide receiver position. He ran a very quick 10.29 100-meter dash while in high school. But unlike starting running back David Winbush, who ran indoor track this year for Kansas — Gasaway doesn't run track.
"I'm concentrating on spring ball now," Gasaway said.
As a freshman in 1997, Fulton averaged a 30.2 yards a catch, with four touchdowns on only 10 receptions. As a sophomore, Fulton averaged 20.1 yards a catch, so coach Terry Allen's system must suit him and his abilities.
"We're a passing team," Fulton said. "We have four or five-receiver sets, and I just usually get downfield and get open.
"He (Allen) told me when I talked to him before I came to college here that he was going to pass the ball. We've been passing the ball a lot. I'm a receiver, so I like to get the ball."
Gasaway played as a freshman in 1986, which indicates that he had exceptional ability and was sorely needed Allen's freshmen usually take redshift years. He had
Gasaway also played quarterback for two seasons in high school, but when starting quarterback Zac Wegner was injured during the 1988 season, Gasaway never thought of stepping up behind center to see what he could do.
two touchdowns on only 12 receptions and averaged 12.3 yards a catch.
"We had enough quarter-backs," he said. "The thought didn't really come to my mind at that time."
Smith, more familiar with his teammates this spring than he was last fall, is optimistic about the coming season.
"We left off on a pretty good note," Smith said. "We started winning the last half of the season, and we're trying to get on a roll."
"Harrison's somebody who can go deep," Smith said. Hill averaged 17.4 yards a catch in 1999 and his presence guarantees that the Jayhawks can successfully utilize multiple-receiver sets — a key for Jayhawk success.
Softball finishes third at tourney
By Rebecca Barlow
sports@kansas.com
Kansas sportswinter
A run differential kept the Kansas softball team from the championship game, but it still placed third in the Lady Vol Invitational tournament this weekend.
The Jayhawks, 3-1 in the tournament, were tied with Tennessee and East Carolina going into the championship game. However, tie-breaker rules
— the Lady Vols and Pirates scored more runs in their first two games — kept the Jayhawks from advancing.
Heavy rains and some snow canceled Saturday's games against East Carolina and Eastern Kentucky. Play resumed yesterday, but the Jayhawks lost to East Carolina 10-1.
"We played really well on Friday," said coach Tracy Bunge. "I thought we got on track, but today there is nothing good to say about that."
In the consolation game, Kansas beat Eastern
Kentucky 5-1. Shelly Musser and Megan Urquhart led the Jayhawks with two hits a pace. Sarah Clopton pitched all seven innings, allowing five hits and one run.
"I think we are all starting to play better more consistently, but we still have not played to our potential yet," Urquhart said.
The Jayhawks brought a three-game winning streak to five games on Friday by defeating Eastern Kentucky 4-1 and Tennessee 6-5.
Leah Tabb's first-inning RBI double gave Kansas the early lead on Eastern Kentucky, but the Colonels' Kim Sarrarian hit a home run in the fifth. Kansas retook the lead in the bottom of the fifth, scoring two runs and adding one more in the sixth.
The Jayhawk offense picked up where it left off during the "tennessee game." Urquhart led Kansas offensively going 2 for 3, including a double, a home run and four RBL.
The Jayhawks will play in the Florida State Seminole Invitational next weekend.

Women fall to No. 60 Minnesota
Team loses again to ranked opponent; drops record to 9-3
By Zac Hunter
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansas.com
Kansas sportswriter
The Kansas women's tennis team attempted to beat a ranked team again this weekend — and again it failed.
Before this weekend's meet against No. 60 Minnesota, the Kansas women's tennis team had seen eight unranked opponents and claimed eight wins. It had faced two ranked opponents—and
taken two losses.
And those two losses weren't nail biters. Ranked Ohio State and Tulsa slapped the Jayhawks around, and right on cue, Minnesota did the same in a 7-2 Jayhawk loss yesterday at the Alvamar Golf and Country Club, 1800 Crossgate Drive.
Minnesota jumped out to an early 2-1 lead and never looked back. The Golden Gophers ended the meet in the singles competition by taking five of six matches.
The loss left Kansas with an overall record of 8-3. It also snapped the Jayhawk's three-meet winning streak.
Sophomore Cheryl Mallaiah and Junior Monica Sekulov were swept in straight sets to start off the meet.
Jayhawk coach Jenny Garrity said she was disappointed that her team wasn't competitive in most of the matches.
"They pressured us in every phase of the game, mentally, strategically, physically, and we came up short on every single court." Garrity said.
Kansas avoided the shutout early when freshman Tiffany Chang beat Amy Thomas at the No. 4 position, but Chang's match was the only bright spot for the 'Hawks. They went on to lose the next three matches, and the meet was lost before the doubles teams even took the court.
Senior Brooke Chiller did everything she could to keep the 'Hawks afloat. She lost a grueling three-set
match to Nora Sauska.
Garrity said she was impressed with Sauska's play against Chiller.
Chiller won an uneventful first set 6-4, but the two two sets resulted in a grueling, three-hour match that took two tie breakers to decide.
"Brooke is an extremely tough person to beat, and I thought that she played extremely well — extremely smart." she said.
The 'Hawks back step into conference play Sunday against Baylor.
Garrity said that Baylor posed a tougher challenge than Minnesota but that her team was capable of beating the Bears.
"They just have to trust their game and just lay it all on the line like Brooke did today," she said.

Men's team battles through problems at Nebraska
By Brent Wasko
Both issues were resolved, at least temporarily, Saturday at Nebraska.
The Kansas men's tennis team had been struggling to get an early lead in its matches and had problems winning on the road.
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks, 1-1 in the Big 12 Conference and 4-6 overall, swept doubles competition to begin their 6-1 victory against Nebraska.
"That really gave us an edge in the overall match," said sophomore Quentin Blakeney. "We were so pumped up after that."
"We talked about winning the doubles point before the match," said Kansas coach Mark Riley. "It sure made life easier for the singles players. It took the momentum away from Nebraska and took the crowd out of the match."
Red Lyon Tavern
The Jayhawks swept their doubles matches for the first time all season. Before taking on Nebraska, Kansas had won only three doubles points in eight opportunities.
The Jayhawks sole loss in the match came from freshman Eleazar Magallan. He has the best singles record on the team at 23-12 but fell in straight sets, 3-6, 1-6.
Riley said beating Nebraska without a strong showing from Magallan was big for his team.
"We've been depending on Magallan all season, so to win with him losing is a plus," Riley said. "We're evolving into a good tennis team."
Before defeating Nebraska, the Jayhawks were just 1-4 on the road. Riley said his team's focus wasn't on winning on the road, though.
"The biggest thing was evening our record in the Big 12," Riley said. "If we are going to compete for the conference title, we are going to have to win on the road as well as at home."
Kansas will head back to the road March 21 and 22 as it takes on two schools from Louisiana. The Jayhawks will do battle with Louisiana-Lafayette and Tulane.

Fizer, Cyclones win Big 12 title
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Marcus Fizer scored 22 points as top-seeded Iowa State shook off doubts about its depth by winning three games in three days, the last a 70-58 victory against third-seeded Oklahoma yesterday to win the Big 12 tournament.
the seventh-ranked Cyclones (29-4) easily beat the only Big 12 team they had not defeated while setting a school record for victories and winning their first regular-season conference championship in 55 years.
Three surges from midway through the first half carried the Cyclones past No.15 Oklahoma (26-6), which had used a stirring second half Saturday to stop Texas in the semifinals and advance to the championship game.
This time, the rally was not there. The Sooners, trailing 35-25 at half-time, got the first basket of the second half, but Iowa State immediately went on an 8-0 run to lead 46-27 with 13:11 to play.
Iowa State, which got the top seed in the tournament for the first time in school history, defeated Oklahoma State in the semifinals. The Cyclones joined the Iowa State women's team as tournament champions after the women beat
Texas earlier, making for a joyous weekend for the thousands of Iowa State fans who annually make the trip to Kansas City for the tournament.
It was the first time men's and women's teams from the same school each won their tournaments.
Michael Nurse had 14 points, and Jamal Tinsley added 13 for the Cyclones, who made 21 of 25 free throws.
Eduardo Najera, who led the second-half rally against Texas, finished with 31 points Saturday and led Oklahoma with 19 points.
Iowa State went on a 9-2 run midway through the first half to open a 17-6 lead before Hollis Price hit a three and another basket to get the Sooners within 17-11.
But Iowa State reeled off six straight points, including a dunk by Fizer when he got behind the Oklahoma defense on a fast break. The Cyclones were up 30-13 on a couple of spinning layups by Tinsley and a basket by Nurse before the Sooners rallied at the end of the half.
It has been widely speculated that Fizer, a junior, will apply for the NBA draft. Fans chanted "One more year" as the championship trophy was presented to the Cyclones and Fizer was named the tournament's most valuable player.

Revenge a factor in Duke's victory
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — No. 3 Duke expected a long, inspirational speech from Chris Carrawell when the team's lone senior called a meeting before yesterday's ACC tournament title victory against Maryland.
The message was more to the point.
The Blue Devils, 27-4, secured a No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament and probably the nation's top ranking with their convincing win against No.20 Maryland, who was making its first championship game appearance in 16 years.
"There was a revenge factor, I'm not going to lie," Carrawell said following an 81-68 victory against the only ACC team to beat the Blue Devils in the last two seasons. "I was like, 'Look, we're not going to lose this game. It was embarrassing, they beat us at home, celebrated on our court."
Duke should ascend to No.1 after losses by Cincinnati and Stanford — teams ahead of the Blue Devils in the poll.
"I thought we won the tournament because of our defense, not
our offense," said Duke coach Mike Krzyezewski, who brought one of the nets to his postgame news conference.
Duke's freshmen led the way this time. Jason Williams scored a season-high 23 points and Carlos Boozer added 21 as the top-seeded Blue Devils became the first program since the 1973 and 1974 North Carolina State teams to win consecutive outright ACC regular-season and tournament titles.
Krzyzewski won his fifth ACC crown. The veteran coach pulled his starters with 33 seconds left and gave each a bear hug near the bench.
Juan Dixon led the second-seeded Terrapins (24-9) with 19 points.
The Blue Devils' home loss to the Terrapins a month ago snapped their ACC regular-season record 31-game winning streak, but the second half belonged to Duke and the team's youngsters this time.
Williams, the team's point guard, scored 15 of his points in the second half and got Duke's outside game going with a three-point shoot to open the half. Boozer scored 11 points after the break, taking care of Duke's inside game.
Injury cripples Illini in loss to Spartans
The Associated Press
It wasn't Morris Peterson and his amazing array of all-around skills, or Mateen Cleaves suddenly hot shooting hand that sealed Michigan State's 76-61 victory in the Big Ten tournament championship game.
CHICAGO — It wasn't so much No. 5 Michigan State's vaunted defense that did in No. 25 Illinois on Sunday.
It was Andre Hutson's elbow.
Hutson hit Cory Bradford in the nose during a scramble under the
basket with just less than eight minutes left in the first half, temporarily knocking Illinois leading scorer out of the game and permanently derailing the Illini.
Reeling from the sight of their team leader collapsing as he tried to walk to the bench, the Illini made five turnovers before halftime, and went 3 of 8 from the field. Their defense also collapsed as the Spartans on a 20-8 run, taking a 35-27 halftime lead.
Bradford returned for the second half, his nose swollen, bruised and
possibly broken, but it was too late. Hutson converted on a three-point play and followed with a layup, and Peterson hit a 3-pointer to give Michigan State a 45-32 lead with 17:22 left.
Peterson finished with 14 points,
four rebounds and three steals.
Cleaves had 12 points and six assists.
A.J. Granger led the Spartans (26-7)
with 17 points, and Hutson added 14.
Bradford went 2 for 9 in the second half, finishing with 10 points on 4-of-15 shooting. Frank Williams led the
The Big Ten final was a rematch of last year's title game, which Michigan State won 67-50. But that was a much different Illinois team, which was worst in the conference and weary from knocking off three Top 25 teams in three days in the tournament.
Illini (21-9) with 11 points, and Cleotis Brown had 10.
This year's Illini had been playing as well as anyone in the Big Ten Since a 91-66 rout in East Lansing Mich., on Jan. 30, Illinois had won 10 of its last 11 games.
Arkansas rises above its record, advances to NCAA
ATLANTA — Arkansas didn't want to be remembered for a mediocre regular season. Not to worry.
Playing their fourth game in four days, the Razorbacks earned an improbable trip to the NCAA tournament by beating Auburn 75-67 yesterday and winning the Southeastern Conference tournament and the league's automatic bid.
Brandon Dean scored 22 points, and Arkansas closed the game with
a 14-5 spurt, making the Tigers seem to be the tired team when it should have been the other way around.
"We didn't want to go down as one of the worst teams to come through Arkansas," said Dean, referring to a 15-14 record in the regular season. "We wanted to do something special."
This was special. Only one team, Auburn in 1855, had managed to win the SEC tournament with four wins in four days. Six other teams won their first three games but wilted in the finals.

Arkansas became only the sixth NCAA team to win four tournament games in four days — and the second of the weekend. Saint Louis won the Conference USA title Saturday by completing a similar sweep.

Arkansas, with a lineup featuring three freshmen and a sophomore, upset No.16 Kentucky in the quar-
tertfinals, eliminating the team that had won the tournament seven of the last eight years. In the semifinals, the Razorbacks defeated No. 10 Louisiana State, another of the four teams that shared the regular-season title.
"I don't think I've ever been as happy on the inside for a group of guys who are so young and have been through the trials and talk these guys have," said coach Nolan Richardson, whose school won its first SEC tournament since joining the league in 1991-92. "They put it all behind them."

Chenowith to run for Senate
Spirit squad's needs top applicant's list
By Erin Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Most students probably will recognize at least one name on Student Senate ballots this April.
Eric Chenowith, Orange, Calif., junior and Kansas men's basketball player, said he wanted to run for a liberal arts and sciences seat with the United Students coalition.
Students running for Senate seats must file with the elections commissioner by tomorrow, but the applicants must be approved by the commission before they are official.
Chenowith said he found out about the coalition from a classmate
He said he was not worried students would see him as a basketball player and not as a student senator.
"I really like this school, and they really know that I like this school and that I take that seriously," he said. "Other than athletes, I don't know who spends more time working for this school."
Chenowith said he would work basketball games and Senate meetings into his schedule as best he could.
Some issues Chenowith said he would
like to work on included enforcing the no-smoking policy near entryways on campus and getting more benefits for the spirit sundaes.
"They basically don't get anything," Chenowith said. "They get a stipend every semester, and that's about it."
Marlon Marshall, St. Louis senior and vice presidential candidate for United Students, said Chenowith expressed interest in getting involved with Senate and he had been working with the coalition since then.
"It's not a political strategy to get more votes."
Mr. ballard said.
Erin Simpson, Lenexa junior and off-campus candidate for Delta Force, said she hoped Ben Walker, the United Students presidential candidate, picked Chenowith for his refreshing campaign ideas. "And not as some lame vote-getting gimmick" she said.

Chenowith: Would try to balance Senate and basketball

junior, said United Students was interested in drawing students from all parts of campus.
"Just because someone is from the men's basketball team doesn't mean they shouldn't be involved," Walker
"I really like this school,and they really know that I like this school and that I take that seriously."
Eric Chenowith men's basketball player
said. "I think if Eric were to be elected senator he would be a power voice for students."
Chenowith said he ran for student government in high school but lost.
University Archives show that Kevin Pritchard, men's basketball player, won senate seats in 1987 and 1988.
Trevor Kohl, a Paola junior, who also is running for a liberal arts and sciences seat with the Resume Builders, said he did not think Chenowith's name recognition would be a factor in the campaign.
"Manning led the team to the NCAA title, but Chenowith can't even win the Big 12 with them." Kohl said.
Kim Fuchs, Senate executive secretary, said fine arts senators often had demanding schedules that often conflicted with Senate. Fuchs said their absences were manageable, and she thought athletes' could be also.
"If he thinks he can do it, go for it," Fuchs said.
Student Senate elections will be April 12 and 13.
Girl,15,says student committed lewd acts
By Sara Shepherd
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A University of Kansas student is being investigated for engaging in indecent liberties with a child following a report by a 15-year-old girl that he touched her in a sexual manner.
According to a police report released this week, the incident occurred between 9:45 p.m. March 6 and 2:45 a.m. March 7 at the seventh floor in McCollum Hall.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey, of the KU Public Safety Office, said the girl's name had been withheld because she was a juvenile.
Bailey said the girl was an acquaintance of the suspect, and the incident occurred at the suspect's room in McCollum Hall. There was no indication that alcohol was involved.
Bailey said yesterday police still were writing reports but the suspect had been interviewed.
"We're still conducting our investigation." he said.
Bailey said after police investigations, information regarding the case must be reviewed by the district attorney before any charges could be filed.
"All law enforcement does is indicate the crime that we believe has been committed," Bailey said. "The reports are going to be forwarded to the district attorney as soon as we're finished."
The victim, a Lawrence resident, could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Kansas law describes indecent liberties with a child as engaging in lewd acts with someone who is between 14 and 16 years old.
Lewd acts include fondling or touching of either the child or the offender, with the intent to arouse or to satisfy the sexual desires of the child, the offender or another. The law applies to solicitation of the child to engage in such acts as well.
The crime is a felony.
Kumberly Grassmeyer, assistant director of Student Housing, said housing contract terms state that a resident may be removed from a residence hall if their presence poses a threat to others, but all discipline cases are handled on a case-by-case basis.
Student housing policy also states that students' housing contracts may be suspended if they are either arrested for alleged criminal acts or have criminal charges pending against them.
Police expect to see rise in thefts during spring break

Many students will leave Lawrence for spring break, which may result in increased burglaries and thefts. One way to prevent theft is to remove valuables from cars or put them in the trunk. Photo illustration by Carrie Julian/KANSAN

With students away, the burglars will prey.
"I will just guarantee it," said Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department. "Normally during spring break and nice weather, we do see an increase in thefts from vehicles and burglaries of residences."
Wheeler said that last week they already had noted an increase in thefts, but that there would be a bigger jump after the break was over because vacationers wouldn't know about the crimes until they returned.
Despite the burglary dangers, many students at the University of Kansas don't seem worried.
"We don't really have any valuables in our house," said Leslie Fitch, Overland Park sophomore who will be skiing in Vall, Colo., during break. "Our complex is pretty safe."
Steve Lumetta, St. Louis senior,
said that he was somewhat worried
about thet but that somewhat than locking
his doors, he didn't know what
else to do when he left for Florida.
"As far as personal stuff, I will probably just hide stuff so if someone did break in, they would be less likely to find it," he said.
Hiding things and making them less accessible is something that Wheeler said was a good way to curb some of the vulnerability.
"Most of the thefts are thefts of
Precautions to curb theft during break
Lock all car doors.
Remove valuables from sight.
Tell trusted neighbors you will be out of town.
Lock all doors and windows.
Make sure all doors close tightly behind you.

opportunity." Wheeler said. "They will go until they find a car or an apartment that is unlocked."
And this problem is not limited to off-camus housing.
"We do have a large volume of cars left here over the break," said Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office. "Students need to reduce the temptation by removing loose valuables and stereo faceplates if they can."
Melissa Gomez, a Shawnee sophmore who lives in Jayhawk Towers, said she wasn't worried about theft because of her on-campus housing.
"Maybe if I lived off campus I would be more concern," said
Gomez, who will leave for vacation on Friday. "We lock everything up, but I am not too concerned about it."
Wheeler suggested some ways people could make their homes and cars more secure.
"Crooks are lazy," Wheeler said. "You need to make certain that your car, house or apartment is locked up and it looks like it is still occupied."
To do that, Wheeler suggested leaving a light on in the house or on the porch and bringing in items such as patio furniture and lawn ornaments.
Wheeler said another important thing to do was to record the serial numbers, makes and models of valuable items.
"A lot of times we'll recover things that were stolen, and we can't return them unless they can identify it." Wheeler said. "There are a lot of Sony VCRs out there, so you have to know the serial number and the description."
Despite an increase in thefts during spring break, Wheeler said Lawrence was following the national trend of declining crime rates. He said there were 721 burglaries in residences, businesses and automobiles in Lawrence in 1997, 703 in 1988 and 581 in 1999.

Student, friend struggle for survival as ski trip takes near-fatal turn

For those planning to go skiing or snowboarding during spring break, Kevin Williamson has a warning.
He did not have either of those when he became trapped in a makeshift shelter made of a rock outcropping and a snowdrift near Lake Tahoe, Nev.
It was Jan. 27, and he and his best friend, Shane Volkerding, who is living in Kansas City, Kan, were snowboarding at the Heavenly Resort. They wanted to have one more run late that afternoon, but instead of finding a snowboarding adventure, they found themselves in a fight for survival that lasted more than 12 hours in strong winds and temperatures of 35 degrees below zero.
"Never go skiing without a tiny Bic lighter and a power bar," said the Overland Park senior said, laughing.
and froze the lenses of their goggles. Trying to find their way back to the lodge, they went the wrong direction and trudged through 15 feet of snow for 2 hours straight, using their snowboards like a soldier would use a machete in the jungle.

They climbed more than 700 feet — across a distance of about five football fields — before they found the rock that saved their lives. Williamson said the decision whether to stay at the rock or keep moving was tough.
"It was like having a seizure for 12 hours straight." Williamson said.
Hours after they had been sitting and waiting for someone to see the bright colors of their snowboards sticking out, the shaking and suffering from hypothermia began.
"It's almost surrendering by not being able to find your way back," he said. "We wouldn't have made it if it weren't for that rock."

Every 15 minutes, the two friends would take off their boots and place their bare feet under one another's shirts trying to produce heat. Williams remembers telling Shane to wiggle his feet.

Chenowith to run for Senate
Spirit squad's needs top applicant's list
By Erin Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Most students probably will recognize at least one name on Student Senate ballots this April.
Eric Chenowith, Orange, Calif., Junior and Kansas men's basketball player, said he wanted to run for a liberal arts and sciences seat with the United Students coalition.
Students running for Senate seats must file with the elections commissioner by tomorrow,but the applicants must be approved by the commission before they are official.
He said he was not worried students would see him as a basketball player and not as a student senator.
Chenwihua said he found out about the coalition from a classmate.
"I really like this school, and they really know that I like this school and that I take that seriously." he said. "Other than athletes, I don't know who spends more time working for this school."
Chenowith said he would work basketball games and Senate meetings into his schedule as best he could.
Some issues Chenowith said he would
like to work on included enforcing the no-smoking policy near entryways on campus and getting more benefits for the spirit squads.
"They basically don't get anything," Chenowith said. "They get a stipend every semester, and that's about it."
Marlon Marshall, St. Louis senior and vice presidential candidate for United Students, said Chenowith expressed interest in getting involved with Senate and he had been working with the coalition since then.
"It's not a political strategy to get more votes."
Nickhell said.
Erin Simpson, Lenexa junior and off-campus candidate for Delta Force, said she hoped Ben Walker, the United Students presidential candidate, picked Chenowith for his refreshing campaign ideas. "And not as some lame vote-getting gimmick," she said.
M. MORRIS
Chenowith: Would to balance Senateate and basketball
junior, said United Students was interested in drawing students from all parts of campus.
"Just because someone is from the men's basketball team doesn't mean they shouldn't be involved." Walker
"I really like this school, and they really know that I like this school and that I take that seriously."
Eric Chenowith men's basketball player
said. "I think if Eric were to be elected senator he would be a power voice for students."
Chenowith said he ran for student government in high school but lost.
University Archives show that Kevin Pritchard, men's basketball player, won senate seats in 1987 and 1988.
Trevor Kohl, a Paola junior, who also is running for a liberal arts and sciences seat with the Resume Builders, said he did not think Chenowith's name recognition would be a factor in the campaign.
"Manning led the team to the NCAA title, but Chenowith can't even win the Big 12 with them." Kohl said.
Kim Fuchs, Senate executive secretary, said fine arts senators often had demanding schedules that often conflicted with Senate. Fuchs said their absences were manageable, and she thought athletes' could be also.
"If he thinks he can do it, go for it," Fuchs said.
Student Senate elections will be April 12 and 13.
Girl,15,says student committed lewd acts
By Sara Shepherd
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
A University of Kansas student is being investigated for engaging in indecent liberties with a child following a report by a 15-year-old girl that he touched her in a sexual manner.
According to a police report released this week, the incident occurred between 9:45 p.m. March 6 and 2:45 a.m. March 7 at the seventh floor in McCollium Hall.
Lt. Schuyler Bailey, of the KU Public Safety Office, said the girl's name had been withheld because she was a juvenile.
Bailey said the girl was an acquaintance of the suspect, and the incident occurred at the suspect's room in McCollum Hall. There was no indication that alcohol was involved.
Bailey said yesterday police still were writing reports but the suspect had been interviewed.
"We're still conducting our investigation." he said.
Bailey said after police investigations, information regarding the case must be reviewed by the district attorney before any charges could be filed.
"All law enforcement does is indicate the crime that we believe has been committed," Bailey said. "The reports are going to be forwarded to the district attorney as soon as we're finished."
The victim, a Lawrence resident, could not be reached for comment yesterday
Kansas law describes indecent liberties with a child as engaging in lewd acts with someone who is between 14 and 16 years old.
Lewd acts include fondling or touching of either the child or the offender, with the intent to arouse or to satisfy the sexual desires of the child, the offender or another. The law applies to solicitation of the child to engage in such acts as well.
The crime is a felony.
Kimberly Grassmeyer, assistant director of Student Housing, said housing contract terms state that a resident may be removed from a residence hall if their presence poses a threat to others, but all discipline cases are handled on a case-by-case basis.
Student housing policy also states that students' housing contracts may be suspended if they are either arrested for alleged criminal acts or have criminal charges pending against them.
Police expect to see rise in thefts during spring break

With students away, the burglars will prey.
"I will just guarantee it," said Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department. "Normally during spring break and nice weather, we do see an increase in thefts from vehicles and burglaries of residences."
Wheeler said that last week they already had noted an increase in thefts, but that there would be a bigger jump after the break was over because vacationers wouldn't know about the crimes until they returned.
Despite the burglary dangers, many students at the University of Kansas don't seem worried.
"We don't really have any valuables in our house," said Leslie Fitch, Overland Park sophomore who will be skiing in Vail, Colo., during break. "Our complex is pretty safe."
Steve Lumetta, St. Louis senior,
said that he was somewhat worried
about theft but that other than locking
his doors, he didn't know what
else to do when he left for Florida.
"As far as personal stuff, I will probably just hide stuff so if one did break in, they would be less likely to find it," he said.
Hiding things and making them less accessible is something that Wheeler said was a good way to curb some of the vulnerability.
"Most of the thefts are thefts of
Precautions to curb theft during break
Lock all car doors.
Remove valuables from sight.
Tell trusted neighbors you will be out of town.
Lock all doors and windows.
Make sure all doors close tightly behind you.
Leave a light on inside or on the porch.
Bring lawn ornaments and patio furniture inside.
Remove valuables from the car or put them in the trunk.
Remove car stereo faceplates.

opportunity," Wheeler said. "They will go until they find a car or an apartment that is unlocked."
And this problem is not limited to off-campus housing.
"We do have a large volume of cars left here over the break," said Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office. "Students need to reduce the temptation by removing loose valuables and stereo faceplates if they can."
Melissa Gomez, a Shawnee sophomore who lives in Jayhawk Towers, said she wasn't worried about theft because of her on-campus housing.
"Maybe if I lived off campus I would be more concerned," said
Gomez, who will leave for vacation on Friday. "We lock everything up, but I am not too concerned about it."
Wheeler suggested some ways people could make their homes and cars more secure.
"Crooks are lazy." Wheeler said. "You need to make certain that your car, house or apartment is locked up and it looks like it is still occupied."
To do that, Wheeler suggested leaving a light on in the house or on the porch and bringing in items such as patio furniture and lawn ornaments.
Wheeler said another important thing to do was to record the serial numbers, makes and models of valuable items.
"A lot of times we'll recover things that were stolen, and we can't return them unless they can identify it," Wheeler said. "There are a lot of Sony VCRs out there, so you have to know the serial number and the description."
Despite an increase in thefts during spring break, Wheeler said Lawrence was following the national trend of declining crime rates. He there were 721 burglaries in residences, businesses and automobiles in Lawrence in 1997, 703 in 1988 and 561 in 1999.
"But it's still a significant problem." Wheeler said. "People need to take precautions."
Mailen said if a theft did occur, students should call the police right away.

Organizations discuss late-night party ban
Students and University of Kansas officials still are working on a policy to make late-night campus functions more secure — and the ban on those functions still is in effect.
The ban was imposed after a Jan. 23 shooting during a fraternity party at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union.
Robert Page, associate director of multicultural affairs, said University officials and students would have several meetings and that they might finish the process in one to two weeks.
"The University is trying to wrap it up as quickly as possible so these organizations can have functions," he said.
LITERATURE BOOKS, LECTURES, THE BASE Danny Kaiser, director of organizations and leadership, said the meetings were not designed to write new University policy but to determine who would do what to make late-night functions more secure.
"We have another meeting yet this week," he said. "I think we've made an incredible amount of progress."
Kaiser said that the ban, although officially imposed by James Kitchen, dean of students, was a collaborative effort among student organizations that agreed not to have any more parties until they could be safer.
He said that the meetings would produce suggestions and agreements about safety issues.

Storm safety workshop to be held in Lawrence
Storm junkies can get a vicarious fix at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Mike Akulow, warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Topeka, is scheduled to give a free public weather workshop at building 21-South on the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds on Harper Street.
Akulow said Douglas County Emergency Management was sponsoring the workshop, which would combine a training session for the county's volunteer storm spotters
with a severe weather safety education session for the general public
The workshop will cover storm formation, give safety tips and will include slides and videos of tornadoes and thunderstorms.
Akulow said the single most important storm safety tip he had was that lightning was a greater safety risk than tornadoes. Lightning is much more common than tornadoes and kills one or two people a year in Kansas, he said.
"Most years we have more lightning deaths than deaths from tornadoes," he said. "Lightning comes with all thunderstorms."
The weather service is sponsoring. Severe Weather Awareness Week this week.

Bank employee steals money from accounts
A KU student, a KU professor and a retired Lawrence resident were victims of theft by a Capitol Federal bank employee who transferred money from their accounts into her personal account.
Sgt. George Wheeler, of Lawrence police, said police were called at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to Capitol Federal Savings, 1025 Iowa Sr., in reference to an unauthorized $2,000 cash withdrawal that was made on Feb. 29. The victim, a 55-year-old male KU student, noticed the money missing when he received his bank statement.
An internal investigation performed by bank officials led to an 18-year-old female suspect who works at the bank. Officials discovered that the employee also had taken $20,000 out of the savings account of a 78-year-old female Lawrence resident and $1,000 from the checking account of a 47-year-old professor at the University's School of Education.
Wheeler said the employee had filled out paperwork that documented the illegal transfers. He said yesterday that police had interviewed the suspect but had made no arrest.

Fraternity's founders make rules
Fraternity's Kansans can vote in online primary
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A month ago, Larry Dohl was looking to be part of an organization he could be proud of.
Today, as the president of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, which is new to the University of Kansas this month, the Sylvan Grove junior said he was taking matters into his own hands.
"One of the things that drew me to this fraternity was the opportunity to be a part of something new and to start something different," Dohl said. "Now we can put the emphasis where we want to and decide for ourselves what we want our fraternity to be."
"The opportunity to keep up with what has been established before us and to also have our own influence in Pi Kappa Phi history at KU was very attractive." Krops said.
Pi Kappa Phi is a nationally recognized fraternity. The recruitment coordinators from the national office had been in Lawrence for the past month but left the fraternity in the hands of its 45 to 50 founders last week.
Dohl said that from now on, the decisions and choices for the fraternity would be made solely by its new members — an opportunity that attracted Josh Krops, Pi Kappa Phi chaplain and Overland Park freshman.
Chad Hladik, Pi Kappa Phi historian and Wichita sophomore, said the chance to change things drew him to a new, rather than an established, fraternity.
"A lot of us saw things we didn't like about other fraternities." Hladik said. "The new members aren't treated as kindly as the old members, and with some fraternities there was a lot of emphasis on social standing — who was popular and who wasn't."
Although solidarity is an important factor in many fraternities, Hladik said a goal of Pi Kappa Phi was to set a precedence for future members so popularity was not a factor.
During the next year, the members will need to meet specific qualifications to obtain a charter and become an official fraternity.
One important aspect to the issuance of a charter is community service work. Hladik said Pi Kappa Phi prided itself on its philanthropy, Push America, which involved working with disabled persons, and its emphasis on community service.
Dohl said he hoped to have the charter by the end of this semester, at which time he wanted to have about 95 members in the fraternity.
"It's really going to take off here pretty soon," Dohl said. "I think we will develop some traditions that people will want to be a part of."
The fraternity does not yet have a house, but Dohl said his goal was to have one by January. It plans to move into an empty house if one becomes available, he said.
"It's an ambitious goal," Dohl said. "But a very do-able one."

Web sponsors and State Reps. Henry Helgerson, D-Wichita, and Lisa Benlon, R-Shawnee, said the canceled presidential primary provided the perfect opportunity to test Web voting.
"In 10 years, everything will be on the Internet," Helgerson said. "Internet voting is only a small step."
This year's online primary is not a binding vote, but Helgerson said neither was the canceled primary.
Mark Joslyn, assistant professor of political science, said Internet voting could be the future of elections nationwide and a trend that the younger generation would embrace.
Last week, the Arizona Democratic Party gave voters the option of casting ballots online in its presidential primary, doubling its voter turnout.
"I think the other states were watching Arizona," Joslyn said. "They're ahead of the curve."
California, Washington and Florida are considering Internet voting as well.
could harm ballot box integrity.
But one voting rights watchdog group warns that Internet voting
Although e-voting may have doubled voter turnout in Arizona, Deborah Phillips, president of the Voting Integrity Project in Arlington, Va., said voting online could dilute the minority vote.
Internet voting exposes a digital divide between those online and the Internet less, she said.
"The digital divide makes voting so convenient that those hooked to the Internet vote at an increased rate," Phillips said. "It's not just economic, but appears to be racial."
Phillips said white families that made less than $20,000 a year were five times more likely to have Internet access in their homes than minority families in the same economic bracket.
"The principle and most important concern is equity of access," she said. Helgerson said that disparity at the polls always was an issue and that
Instead, Helgerson said e-voting provided convenience and a cost-effective alternative to traditional voting.
The Web site paid for by Helgerson cost about $1,000, while the canceled primary would have cost about $1.5 million.
Internet voting would not replace the traditional community polls.
The Voting Integrity Project still is reviewing the statistics from the Arizona Democratic primary to determine if they point toward racial disparity.
But Phillips said placing a price on voter inequality could set a dangerous precedent.
Although Phillips said she hoped disparity would not exist, she was skeptical.
However, she still has an optimistic outlook in regards to online voting.
"We think there could be a bright future for Internet voting and a chance to draw the youth of America to the
polls," Phillips said. "Because all rights and freedoms are based on the fundamental right to vote, we need to proceed with caution."

'Friendly competition'

Sam MacRoberts and Carrie Depenbusch, presidential and vice-presidential candidates for Students First, pledge to conduct a clean campaign yesterday in front of Strong Hall. Justin Marz, a Jefferson City, Mo., junior who is running for an engineering seat with the coalition, said he saw the campaign as a friendly competition.
"Most people after campaign season can't look at each other in the face again," Marz said. "This is our promise first, to students, and second, to other coalitions, that we're going to run a clean campaign." Photo by J.M.Dailey/KANSAN
New tutoring program to debut during the fall
By Karen Lucas
Special to the Kansan
Conjugating Spanish verbs or working with math formulas can be baffling for some students.
But starting next fall, University of Kansas students can get more help with these and other challenges in their course work. The Student Development Center plans to offer low-priced tutoring in Spanish, math, chemistry, biology and economics, said the center's director, Mary Ann Rasnak.
"It will be a way for students to persist in entry-level courses that are difficult." she said.
Rasnak said that the center had received the most requests for tutoring help in the five subjects it chose. Also, a review of course grade distributions showed that many students had trouble with those subjects.
For $85 per subject per semester, a student in the program will receive three hours of small-group tutoring per week. Student Senate money will help those students demonstrating financial need. Rasnak said.
A private tutor would charge
between $12 and $15 per hour, she said.
"It's going to be like a small tutorial class," she said.
Rasnak said each group, consisting of no more than four students enrolled in the same course, will meet each time with the same tutor in the Multicultural Resource Center or at one of the residence halls or libraries.
Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall, McColum Hall and Oliver Hall. Math tutors also will be available after spring break at two greek houses, which have yet to be named. Anyone can receive the tutoring, Rasnak said.
This semester, with money from the Senate and the Office of Student Affairs, the center has been offering free math tutoring at Gertrude
At a recent tutoring session in GSP-Corbin, Nan Zhao, math tutor and Wichita sophomore, expressed mixed views about next year's program.
"The good thing about it is that there's more subjects that are offered," she said. "The bad thing is the fee, and you get less one-on-one
attention."
But Jeremiah Johnson, Hugoton senior, said the new program was a good idea for several reasons.
Tiffanie Schneider, Antioch, Ill., freshman, has been getting tutoring in college algebra. She said that if the tutorial did not work out for her next fall, when she would be enrolled in a calculus class, she would find her own tutor.
"It's a lot less expensive, and you're covering more subjects," he said. "It will help the graduation rate a little bit if it works."

Homosexual partners should have same rights as married couples
Last week, voters in California approved a measure called Proposition 22 that states that only marriages between a man and a woman are valid or recognized in the state. The passage of this proposition caused upset homosexuals in California and across the nation. Gay marriage is not legal in any state, but Proposition 22 pre-empts California's recognition of gay or lesbian marriages even if they do become legal in other states in the future.
Proponents of the measure view its passage as a victory in the battle of upholding traditional family values. However, the proposition is an infringement on the rights of gay partnerships. Homosexual marriages should have the same rights and benefits as heterosexual marriages. Small steps are being taken toward this goal, but it seems as though the majority is against those fighting for this right.
The problem seems to be the word
California's Proposition 22 infringes on gay rights
"marriage." Many people are willing to say that homosexuals can have the same rights as married couples, but they don't want the religious institution of marriage "tarnished." The truth is, however, that homosexuals will live together as married couples regardless of whether the state recognizes it or not. And why shouldn't they? Shouldn't they have the right to be happy as well?
The complicated part of the issue is that legally married couples receive benefits, such as the right to see one's sick or dying spouse in the hospital. While California has worked to gain domestic partnership health benefits and hospital visitation rights, these benefits still fall short of the estimated
1,000 benefits associated with recognized marriages.
The concept of a homosexual union is the same as a heterosexual union. Two people are together because they are in love and they want to be happy. Therefore, they should be able to obtain the same rights and benefits.
Domestic partnership laws are a step in the right direction, but what homosexuals really desire is the recognized institution of marriage. Tom Henning, a San Francisco physics teacher, stated in the Los Angeles Times, "I think it's hard to make an argument for domestic partnerships, because deep in their hearts, marriage is what people really want. Our love, our commitment, it's all identical to the love between heterosexuals. Why should we compromise?"
The answer is that they shouldn't. Marriage is marriage, and the partners, despite their sexual orientations, deserve the same benefits.
Tabatha Beerbower for the editorial board
Proposition 22 is democracy at work
There were only 14 words, but they might have been the most controversial ones in recent times, and they carried a moral and political message. When California counted the votes for Proposition 22 last week, two things became clear: Californians were not ready to rubber stamp same-sex marriages and they — the people — made the decision.
Given the recent ruling by the Vermont Supreme Court on same-sex relationships, it is encouraging to see that the democratic process still works in California. Agree or disagree with the decision the voters of California made, at least they made it.
When the Vermont Supreme Court handed down its decision in December,
Californians' nonrecognition of same-sex marriage counters recent trend of judicial activism
it crossed a line that was politically sacred in the United States. It legislated from the judicial bench. Same-sex marriage is a moral issue for many, but a disturbing trend is appearing: An increasingly active judicial branch that seeks to implement the ideology of the minority. Ironically, in spite of the document it invokes, its actions are unconstitutional.
"political correctness" voted against same-sex marriages, it was an indication that the majority of Americans are not ready to give gays and lesbians the ultimate sanction for their relationships. As Patrick Devlin wrote in his book, The Enforcement of Morals, "The moral law of a society is made up from the ideas which members of that society have in common about the way to live."
Evidently, members of our civil society are not comfortable with same-sex marriages. Therefore, it is the people, and not the courts, who must define the moral code upon which society is founded. That is the power of democracy.
When more than 50 percent of Californians with a reputation for
The people have a voice, and the voters of California used that power effectively.

Perspective
Piracy steals more than United States' dollars
Beggar children in India run around with brand name designer clothes on. If they are lucky enough to snag a pair of shoes, they boast the name of Reebok. Their clothes are splashed with Tommy Hilfiger and their hats are embossed with the Adidas logo. They might even have a Nike "swoosh" gold
There seems to be a definite issue here, as beggars who don't have a place to call home are accessorized with FILA shorts. Where do they obtain these brand name goods? The black market, which strips them of their culture and identity.

Many impoverished children in developing countries are fascinated with American culture. Their rare glimpses of American movies and other mainstream popular media are tainted by an illusion of American everyday life. They view Americans as being well-off, educated and in lasting relationships. As a result, this seemingly perfect culture enthralls them, and they attempt mightily to emulate it to the best of their abilities and, more importantly, resources.
India's black market exploits these children and gives them a false sense of identity, taking away some of their real culture and heritage. The children I encountered in India tended to believe that America's streets are paved with gold and that there is enough wealth for every inhabitant to live comfortably. Again, this notion is incorrectly based on characters — not real people — that children's crowd around to watch on TV or in movies. But these material brand name items aren't even the real thing — they are shoddy imitations.
Last summer, I visited India, and my cousins took my sister and I to one of the markets that boasted of real American culture. Walking along the dingy, poorly constructed stalls, I was amazed by the amount of American culture that had seeped into daily Indian life. More surprisingly, I found that the impact of materialistic items had
asserted quite a hold on the masses. It is evident that these people aren't unintelligent, but many of them are easily influenced. But the most depressing aspect of this infiltration of American culture is that it is pirated.
I believe that it is essential for the world to promote free trade and healthy discourse to various cultures as a result of the exchange of goods and services. But many impoverished countries are losing their cultures and heritages because of the influence of American culture. I was born and raised in the United States, and I think that my parents did an excellent job maintaining a balance between the two cultures. My cousins in Bombay, on the other hand, have been exploited by American culture — by the black market. It is saddening to see that centuries of tradition slowly are being wiped out. Although this is an individual choice, because of the pirated nature of these goods, the black market does not create identity. The items that so many poor children covet are just fakes, but these children are willing to sacrifice quite a bit of money because they don't know any better.
My cousin, eager to show off his new Nike hat, could not fathom the possibility that it was not authentic. My sister and I laughed as we saw that there was simply a "Nike" peel-off sticker halfway sewn on the hat. The hat itself was poorly constructed, but simply because of the supposed brand name, it had cost an exorbitant amount.
I'm not an expert on the dealings of pirated goods, but it seems that, ideally, these people would be better of if they had access to more information. I think that most of us living in the United States could delineate between an authentic article of brand name and one that is fake.
Although materialism is also prevalent here, it is much more widespread in poorer countries. Because of rampant poverty, people use material goods as a show of wealth. And because kids are easily influenced, they are swept in the fervor for obtaining "high-quality" goods. As a result, these children are grabbing for American culture and subsequently losing touch with their own.

Americans could learn from Brazilian unity
Carnaval, with its spectacular street parades and vibrant music, has become one of the most potent images of Brazil. Its roots rest in the European Mardi Gras, preceding the fasting and prayers of the Roman Catholic holy season of Lent. Carnival begins on the Friday before Ash Wednesday and lasts for five days.
Most foreigners only identify Brazil with famous soccer players or the annual Brazilian Carnaval. For many years, that bothered me. Not anymore.
Brazil has commemorated Carnaval since the
1
17th century. At first it was restricted to the Brazilian royalty, but it soon gained popularity. It became a festival of the Brazilian people when Brazil gained independence from Portugal in 1822. And that is why I like it. Brazilians of all races, religions and social status get together to celebrate. But what do they celebrate?
Cássio
Furtado
columnist
opinion@kanasan.com
In fact, people don't know exactly what they are celebrating. Most certainly don't know what Mardi Gras is and they really don't care
about traditions. They are celebrating their survival. This might seem very strange to you, but in a country where social inequality is enormous, this is a great achievement. The mere ability to survive one more day is what makes people happy.
In Brazil, violence is rising, unemployment rates are extremely high and the minimum monthly wage is less than $100. Equality is defended in the constitution. Unfortunately, it is a dream not realized. When Carnival starts, however, all the social and economic orders suddenly are forgotten. Everyone is then equal. That's why this popular festival is admirable.
Carnaval shows that the different races that constitute the Brazilian population do not hate
Races in this country have come to a point at which people don't view themselves as Americans anymore. Instead, they see themselves as African Americans, Asian Americans or Native Americans. I think that's wrong. Everyone should consider themselves equal. If you don't think in terms of equality,quality itself never will be achieved. And it is the only way to peacefully coexist. That is the way to prevent cases similar to those of Leonard Peltier, Rodney King or Amadou Diallo. However, I assume that the "American" vision of races generated far more rights and liberties for minorities — rights and liberties minorities in Brazil don't have.
one another. People in Brazil also don't classify themselves as Brazilian Indians or as African Brazilians. All different races think of themselves as inhabitants of the same land. They are only Brazilians. Therefore, they all believe that there are no differences. That's why Carnaval can happen. That seems to be extremely different from what happens in the United States.
The cost of these rights, therefore, was high.
The cost was hatred. Many people in the United States clearly are not willing to cross race borders. Citizens show respect when the law is watching them. But in private, what I see is disrespect. You, as the youth of this country, need to change this scenario. We all should protest when racism happens. In a society in which minorities are becoming majorities, nobody should be viewed differently. Minorities should not be the only ones protesting against racism — all people need to protest. Amnesty International is proving that Leonard Peltier's case is not only a Native-American issue. It is an American issue.
Race is something that should spark honor. And honor is not a synonym for hatred.
It's your duty to create a country where everyone will think of themselves as equals, and where you only will say, "I'm American."

Pinochet does not deserve compassion
I am baffled by the decision of the editorial board to applaud the decision to allow a murderer to escape trial. Obviously it is unaware of the suffering caused by General Augusto Pinochet. The editorial board is naive if it believes that Pinochet will stand trial in Chile. Does it realize how many college students were killed by the Chinese military regime?
Feedback
The decision by British Home Secretary Jack Straw to allow Pinochet to return to Chile based on a report that he
was too unhealthy to stand trial was absolutely pathetic. Why should any compassion be given to a man whose regime assassinated, tortured and raped literally thousands of supposed "lefists?" General Pinochet showed no such compassion to the Chilean people, nor to the Spanish, Belgian, French, Swiss and other nationals who suffered under his reign of terror.
Instead, Great Britain sent a message that says a dictator can still get away with murder in the new millennium.
Great Britain squandered a chance to send a message to the world saying that if you violate human rights, you will be brought to justice; you will not be able to hide under "presidential immunity."

NASA to implement new program approach
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — In the wake of two botched missions to Mars, reports on NASA's "faster, better, cheaper" approach to space exploration suggest the agency is trying to do too much with too little money and not enough oversight.
The reviews released yesterday do not recommend a return to the large, expensive space missions of the 1970s and 1980s. Instead, management must be held accountable, goals clearly set and, if the money isn't available programs downsized
"We need to slow down some, not rush too quickly into important programs and projects, plan and implement them more carefully, and move away from fixations on cost and near-term gain," said Tony Spear, who led one of the reviews and is a former manager at Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Last year was especially difficult for NASA. In addition to losing two Mars probes, space shuttle flights
were delayed, the Hubble Space Telescope temporarily shut down and other missions either missed their targets or failed at launch.
NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin ordered reviews, including the two released yesterday. Spear's analysis of "faster, better, cheaper" and a report on management by the Mars Climate Orbiter failure board. Last week, another board made 81 recommendations on shuttle management, safety and technical issues.
A common theme runs through both reports:"Faster, better, cheaper" missions place too much emphasis on cost and schedule reduction and too little on management, oversight, leadership and evaluating risk.
The Climate Orbiter, for instance, was lost when a contractor failed to convert measurements into metric units. The $125 million probe flew too close to Mars on Sept. 23 and is believed have burned up in the atmosphere.

http://marslander.jpl.nasa.gov
The mistake itself was not as serious as the failure to catch it, the review board said.
"It's Management 101," said John Pike, an analyst for the Federation of American Scientists. "They're basically saying there are four things you have to balance: cost, schedule, content and risk."
The reports are vague in specifics. The Climate Orbiter board proposed a new mantra called Mission Success First that would help employees keep focused as the agency shifts from a small number of pricey missions to many cheap ones.
The space agency will decide what specific actions to take by midsummer, said W. Brian Keegan, NASA's chief engineer.
Workers search for missing bodies
Sites in Vietnam could hold clues
The Associated Press
DONG PHU, Vietnam — Peering into a mud hole 6 feet deep, surrounded by rice paddies, Defense Secretary William Cohen saw for himself the heroic efforts — and possibly the futility — of America's quest to return home the remains of 2,000 servicemen still missing from the Vietnam War.
In that hole stood a mud-caked forensic anthropologist, Dennis Danielson, and a dozen others lifting slabs of earth into metal buckets. One by one, the buckets were handed along a human chain of dozens of Vietnamese workers, some of them nearly knee-deep in
the glistening mud, to be sifted by hand for even the tiniest scrapes of wire, metal or human remains
clues to one more MIA mystery.
"We will do whatever we can to bring some peace of mind to the families who have lost their loved ones," said Cohen, in reference to the war that cost more than 58,000 American lives. Responding to

MERCEDES
Cohen: Resolved to locate the remains of missing American servicemen
missing-in-action cases, Cohen said, was the very highest of priorities. It also is the main foundation upon
which Washington and Hanoi are attempting to build a military-to-military relationship a generation after the last U.S. combat forces withdrew from Vietnam in defeat.
Thus, it was no coincidence that one of the first things Cohen did upon arriving in Vietnam — as the first American secretary of defense to visit since the war — was travel to the excavation site near the village of Dong Phu, about 20 miles southwest of Hanoi.
Villagers gawked and giggled at the commotion caused by a U.S. defense chief, his security entourage, his stern-faced Vietnamese military escorts and a throng of reporters and photographers.
Cohen thanked the Vietnamese— who lost an estimated 3 million of their own people during the war — for their cooperation in searching for missing U.S. servicemen.
Bosnian Serb charged in massacre
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Calling it a "triumph of evil," U.N. prosecutors showed footage of meadows filled with corpses and bones decaying in mass graves as the trial opened yesterday of the highest-ranking Serb to go before a tribunal on genocide charges.
Bosnian Serb Gen. Radislav Kristic is charged in Europe's bloodiest massacre since World War II: the July 1995 slaughter of at least 7,500 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica, a U.N.-declared demilitarized zone.
"The manner in which these people perish and the scale of this
The Associated Press
atrocity is truly incomprehensible by every standard of humanity," said prosecutor Mark Harmon, a former unit chief in the U.S. Justice Department. "This is a case about the triumph of evil."
The massacre at Srebrenica, Bosnia, has come to symbolize the terrifying tragedy of 1992-1995 Bosnian war's ethnic cleansing campaigns.
Prosecution witness Jean Rene Ruez set the scene for the U.N. war crimes tribunal. The French forensics expert narrated a film of refugees being crowded into a U.N. compound in Srebrenica and receiving assurances of safety from the Serbs,
investigators led by Ruez have exhumed 1,800 corpses over five years and believe 2,500 more still are buried.
to make sure that they would go like organized cattle to their deaths, he said.
Krestic, who commanded the Bosnian serb army's Drina corps during the Serb war, is charged with every crime under the judges' jurisdiction: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions.
He has pleaded not guilty. Conviction would bring a maximum life prison term. The U.N. court has no death penalty.
Bush, Gore focus campaign tactics

MIAMI — George W. Bush, embracing Capitol Hill Republicans after months of keeping his distance, told them yesterday: "Be patient, help is on the way."
Meanwhile, Al Gore wanted to talk campaign tactics, pressing Bush to ditch his TV ads.
As primary voting headed into a Southern "Super Tuesday" with all the suspense gone, the two remaining major candidates — Gore from Florida, Bush from stops in Mississippi and Louisiana — dueled over which of them has the makings of a president.

Politics in the South becoming less partisan
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON — The once solid South isn't solid anymore. The political transformation of territory that once was a lock for the Democrats — and then became a stronghold for the Republicans during the past two decades — could make the South a presidential battleground this year.
"The issues that moved the South into the Republican column are all pretty much on the back burner or have disappeared," said Hastings Wyman Jr., editor of the Southern Political Report newsletter. He cited the end of the Cold War, the fading of racial issues as a top priority and the Democrats' recent success with the economy.
Democrats broke the steady GOP progress in 1989 by winning governors races in Alabama and South Carolina and retaining the governorship in Georgia. And Arkansas Bill Clinton was able to carve away four of 11 Southern states — Arkansas, Tennessee and Louisiana in both 1992 and 1996, plus Georgia the first year and Florida the second.
for Republicans, many believe the political dynamic in the region is shifting.
"People in the South no longer think in purely partisan, ideological terms," said Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican. "They are thinking in pragmatic, practical terms."
Five states from the South — Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas — hold party primaries today, along with Oklahoma. While the parties' nominees were settled a week ago, the primaries still shine the spotlight on a region that could play a crucial role in November.
"My guess is that the South will be the most Republican region in the country," said political scientist Charles Bullock of the University of Georgia. "But that doesn't mean the Democrats can't pick off some states."
While the South remains strong
Parts of the South — South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia and Texas — are seen as very tough for the Democrats. Other states such as North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas and Florida are viewed as more likely to be competitive.

Anti-hate group to offer discussion
By Kimberly Thompson Special to the Kansan
Standing Together Against Negative Displays (STAND), a new anti-hatred organization on campus, will have a mini-panel discussing the effects of hate groups at 6 night at the International Room in the Kansas Union.
Two panelists, David Smith, associate professor of sociology, and Allan Hanson, distinguished professor of anthropology and humanities and western civilization, will speak for 10 minutes about why people hate, what hate does to society and what people can do about it. Afterward, Smith and Hanson will hold a discussion and answer questions.
Corrinne Hickman, Wichita senior and founder and coordinator of STAND, said the panel was aimed at educating and developing ways to counter hate.
"You can't fight hate unless you understand it." Hickman said.
STAND members plan to use this knowledge and other resources to stage a peaceful protest against Fred Phelps, an anti-gay Topeka
"You want to start off with a positive representation. If you aren't ready, it can break down the group a bit."

minister, during the annual Queers and Allies brown bag lunch and drag show April 14.
Phelps and his followers, who have attained nationwide recognition for their anti-gay protests, have picketed the drag show in the past.
Brad Harrah, Stewartsville, Mo., graduate student and member of STAND, said that while the panel would discuss general knowledge about hate, it also would be helpful in discussing the organization's activities.
"You want to start off with a positive representation," he said. "If you aren't ready, it can break down the group a bit."

Liza Pehrson's day is determined by how much sunlight is streaming through her window when she wakes up in the morning.
"Even if I have a problem, if the sun comes out, I know it'll be OK," said Pehrson, Chinook, Mont. sophomore.
Shane Valkerdinger and his friend, Kevin Williamson, Overland Park senior, struggled for survival during a ski trip in January. They were stranded in sub-zero temperatures for more than six hours before a rescue party found them. Contributed Photo
When skies are gray and overcast, it's more difficult to get out of bed and be motivated, Pehrson said.
"I like being outside," Pehrson said. "When the sun's out, I'm more motivated to do things. I go running, or I do my homework."
"Every little thing will set me off in a bad mood." she said.
The number of people with seasonal affective disorder is not well-recorded, said John Wade, staff psychologist and outreach coordinator at Counseling and Psychological Services.
Now that the days are getting longer, she usually is found outside on a blanket, studying or listening to music.
Although her illness has not been diagnosed, Pehrson said she had seasonal affective disorder — her moods are affected by the amount of sunlight in a day. Her father has seasonal affective disorder, and her mother also is affected by the weather, she said.
However, Wade said seasonal affective disorder was considered a valid disorder and was
listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a resource used by mental health professionals.
He said younger people and women were more likely to have seasonal affective disorder, but the weather affected most people to certain extent. And with the days getting longer and spring on its way, many people are in better moods.
"People experience a change in their energy level." Wade said. "An awakening does happen in a sense."
Pehrson noticed the effects of the weather on her moods last winter while tanning before spring break. She noticed an improvement in her mood when she went, so she started going on a regular basis.
Diane Whitten, adult registered nurse practitioner at Bert Nash Community Health Center, 336 Missouri St., Suite 202, said that even if another cold spell came through, the effect would not be as great because the days were longer.
This winter, Pehrson didn't go to tanning beds because she said the mild winter didn't bother her as much.
Although he does not have seasonal affective disorder, Rafael Pena, Asuncion, Paraguay, sophomore, agreed that cold weather couldn't compete with the sun.
"Even if it's cold and chilly outside, as long as it's sunny, I feel good," he said. "It's fresh, and it makes you feel refreshed."
Skiing trip nearly snatches the life of a KU student

"When you are that cold, you can't tell if they are actually moving," Williamson said. "But if you stop losing hope, you stop the adrenaline rush, and you die. Your body will just give up."
Both were worried about developing hypothermia and made an effort to reassure one another that they were going to live through the night.
"The reassurance of knowing that the other was OK helped us make it through." Volkering said. "I was worried, though, and wondered how long could my body take this."
While they waited to be rescued, Williamson's father, Tom, was awaiting their arrival at a Super Bowl party. At first, Tom said he was angry because he thought the two had found a different party. On the other hand, he said he knew his son normally was responsible.
When Tom returned to the condominium, he realized the boys had not come back and went to check their lockers. When he saw their snow boards were missing, he began to panic. It took three hours, but at 2 a.m., Tom convinced the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department to organize a 60- to 70-person rescue team
Williamson and Volkerding
were not found for another 6 hours — and then it was by the ski patrol, not the Sheriff's Department. Williamson was carrying a Motorola Talkabout radio, which has a 2-mile radius, that he and his father bought before the trip. The search team gathered five radios of its own and eventually made contact with Williamson.
Tom said he had his doubts about whether he was going to see his son and Volkereding again, but when radio contact was made, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"That is a moment I will never forget," he said.
He said they were found as early as possible.
"They weren't going to be found in the dark," he said. "The constant accumulation of snow covered any tracks made." When Williamson and Volkerding were found, the rescue team gave them dry, warm clothes, string cheese, generic Kit Kat bars and water.
Amy Foppe, health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that if they had stopped shaking, they likely would have gone unconscious and died because shivering is the body's way of producing heat.
Volkerding said he had almost reached that point.
"When you are that cold, you can't tell if they are actually moving. But if you stop losing hope, you stop the adrenaline rush, and you die. Your body will just give up."
Kevin Williamson
Overland Park senior
The two friends had to follow skiers who made a path for three-quarters of a mile to get to the snow mobiles. Williamson and Volkerding glided on their snowboards while using the ski poles to help them maintain balance.
When Williamson and Volkerding were reunited with Williamson's father, the three men embraced and cried.
Williamson and Volkering said they wanted others to learn from their experience. Volkering said that skiers and snow boarders should always know where they were going.
Williamson said he learned a lot from the experience.
"You learn a lot about who you care about and start questioning whether or not they know how much you care," he said.

Jayhawks set sights on ousting top team
By Chris Fickett
By Chris Fickett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women think they need a change of scenery. And maybe they do.
The Jayhawks, 20-9 and seeded eighth in the NCAA's Midwest Region, lost three of their last four games, including a thirdstraight defeat to Nebraska.
They will play No. 9 seed Vanderbilt, a team that finished in the middle of the Southeastern Conference, in a first-round game Saturday night in Ruston, La.
"Sometimes it's nice to get out of your conference — you know each other so well," said coach Marian Washington. "But when you face somebody new, they're not going to have as much time to prepare for us as we do for them."
With that outlook on the tournament, it came as no surprise that the Jayhawks weren't completely fazed by their seeding.
which could pit them against No. 1 seed and host school Louisiana Tech in the tournament's second round.
Although the Jayhawks are looking to take on the 28-2 Lady Techsters, they've probably seen the last of Nebraska this season.
"Exactly," said junior guard Jennifer Jackson. "I told my teammates today that we would probably play Iowa State to go to the Final Four, and if you look at the brackets, that's what it

could come down to. So we have to take care of business against two tough teams." And that business will be key if the Jayhawks want to keep their Final Four
dreams. Though Kansas swept Big 12 Conference champion Iowa State this season, it must beat Vanderbilt and Louisiana Tech, which has won two NCAA titles and has made 10 Final Four trips, before it can worry about the Cyclones.
But if Kansas shakes up its attitude, it might be able to shake up the tournament. "What I'm liking right now is that we're working to stay positive," Washington said. "I think if we can carry that into the tournament, we'll have a good chance." The Jayhawks aren't only positive
Jackson busted out laughing Sunday when she saw the 'Hawks were set up for another matchup with the No. 1 seed. Kansas lost to top seed and eventual national champion Purdue in a second-round game last season.

health, the coach said, "I'm looking for Nikki right now, I should be able to recognize her."
Washington then pointed to her reserve center, who was sporting a new hairstyle. "Nikki got a new look," Washington said.
NIKKI's got a new do. Washington said Washington let her junior and seniors run practices the last few days, which helped the players bond with each other. And junior forward Jaclyn Johnson liked the idea.
"I think we really had a good time at practice," she said. "We got a lot done. We were really focused."
And then there's the hope that a matchup with Iowa State, a team Kansas beat twice already this season, might be in the cards.
"It's kind of funny they seeded us like this, because for us to go to the Final Four, we have to play against Iowa State," Johnson said. "So maybe it's meant to be for us."

Kansas surprised by NCAA seed
'Hawks expect tough first round
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
The seedings and pairings weren't exactly kind to Kansas.
But now that the initial shock of a dreaded eight seed in the NCAA Tournament has worn off, the Jayhawks are forced to deal with their lowest seed ever.
"I honestly thought we'd be a little higher," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "Last year, we were tied for second in our league, won our conference tournament and we dropped to a six [seed]. That was a little bit of a surprise, but this was more of a surprise."
Surprises aside, the Jayhawks open the tournament at 6:40 p.m. Friday against ninth seed DePaul in the first round of the East Regional in Winston-Salem, N.C. The winner of that game gets the unenviable task of taking on No. 1 seed Duke on Sunday — barring that the Blue Devils don't get upset in the first round by 16th seed Lamar.
"When you're an eight seed, there are no easy games," Williams said. "You have to be ready to play or you're going home."
Judging by how teams seeded eighth have fared in past NCAA Tournaments, the Jayhawks have at least an outside shot of avoiding an early ticket home. Since the NCAA expanded the tournament field to 64 teams in 1985, one team — the 1985 Villanova Wildcats — ran all the way to a national title as an eight seed.
In 1896, eighth-seeded Auburn advanced to the West Regional Finals before losing. Two years ago, the Rhode Island Rams were an eight seed when they advanced to the Midwest Regional Finals. Coincidentally, the Rams upset top-seeded Kansas to get there.
Last year, however, no eight seed won a

men's basketball coach
tournament game.
But what history says about Kansas' chances doesn't seem to faze the Jayhawks. In fact, they just don't care.
"We can't flash back to what other eight seeds did and what the '88 team did," said guard Kenny Gregory, referring to Kansas' 1988 team that was seeded sixth and won the national championship.
"Because that has nothing to do with us."
Kansas, which opened the season winning 15 of its first 17 games, staggered midway through the year and finished at 23-9 overall and 11-5 in the Big 12 Conference. But Gregory said that regardless of how Kansas finished the regular season, the NCAA Tournament offered a clean slate.
"My philosophy is that it's a whole new beginning, and we get a fresh start," Gregory said. "Some guys may be a little disappointed with the seed that we got, but to me it doesn't matter. You have to play the good teams eventually anyway, so we might as well get it started early." Kansas notes
During a press conference Sunday night, Williams said that he was thinking about changing his scheduling philosophy. Kansas had one of the most difficult schedules in the nation this season but still was given an eight seed in the tournament.
"Right now, I am confused," Williams said. "A couple years ago, we were the No. 1 seed of the No. 1 seeds. We played at UCLA and other places, but it doesn't do any good to play those teams. If you beat them, fantastic. If you don't, it doesn't help you at all."
Swimmer glides into final championship spot
Good 100-meter time in breaststroke event earned NCAA bid
By Brandon Krisztal sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
It came as a surprise to some -- including junior swimmer Carolyn Grevers -- when she found out that her 100-meter breaststroke time earned her the last qualifying spot for the NCAA Championships. The championships are Thursday through Saturday in Indianapolis.
Grevers set a school record in the 100-meter breaststroke at the Big 12 Conference Championships, Feb. 18 in College Station, Texas. In preliminaries she broke Quincy Adams' 2-year-old record by posting a top-qualifying time of 1:03.44. She finished second in the finals and improved her school record to 1:03.31.
However, Grevers' time was not fast enough to qualify her automatically. Although she qualified provisionally, Grevers went with four other teammates to the last chance meet in Austin, Texas, Feb. 26, but she was unable to improve her personal best time. After a few days of waiting, Grevers found out that she was the 25th and final qualifier for the NCAA meet.
Because of the uncertainty that surrounded her qualification. Grevers is extremely enthusiastic about her first

trip to the NCAA Championships.
"Well, my goal all year has been to get there," she said. "When I swam it, I knew I had a chance, but I didn't know I was going to make it — just crossed my fingers."
chances.
Despite Grevers' low qualifying time, coach Gary Kempf said he liked her
"Carolyn's swimming the 100-breast-stroke," he said. "That's a race up for grabs completely. There's a whole bunch of people right within about three or four 10ths of a second, so if she can stand up and be real fast, we're going to be OK."
And Kempf knows how difficult the field will be in Indianapolis.
Sports Columnist associate sports editor
"It's the most elite meet in the world, probably a little bit faster and a little bit deeper than the Olympic Trials will be," Kempf said.
Grevers admitted that she'll have some butterflies, but said they wouldn't change her mood or her attitude.
"I am real excited, but I don't think it will really hit me — all the excitement and the emotion of the meet — until I get there," she said.

Jayhawks are underdog team in tournament
Remember those underdog teams you root for in the NCAA Tournament every March?
The Weber States, the Princetons, the Murray States, the Mississippi Valley States and the Samfords. They're there every year.
You know the ones. They have absolutely no chance of making any kind of run but are willing to try anything. They stall the game, throw on a variety of presses, launch 146 three-pointers per half, or run back door cuts 'till the other team's kinks hurt.
They have a center with the huge Afro or the 5-foot-8 point guard that can knock down (or miss) threes from anywhere, or they shave their heads for team unity right before the tournament starts, or they all wear headbands, or they start what seems like too many freshmen and one senior who isn't really that talented but tries damn hard.
Maybe they have the guy who should be an All-American who looks like Michael Jordan with his 40-inch vertical and you wonder why you haven't heard of him. And then he goes to the free-throw line and the graphic on the TV screen says he shoots 38 percent.
These are the teams we want to win more than anything. The quirky teams.
Jayhawk fans — you have one of those teams. A team without the pressure, the outside expectations, and according to everyone with an opinion: without a chance. And like those underdog schools that eventually bow out, despite our best wishes, the Jayhawks will be gone soon.
Whether it's DePaul in the first round, or more likely Duke in the second, Kansas inevitably is headed for an early exit. Any Sweet 16 aspirations that Jayhawk fans had quickly went down the tubes when a No. 8 flashed beside Kansas on Sunday during the NCAA Selection Show.
But this way, fans can say, "At least we lost to the national champion."
Then, to top it off, they get a second-round matchup with the No. 1 team in the nation
the Blue Devils. Admittedly, Kansas is better than an eight seed, since UCLA (19-11) was somehow worthy of a six seed in the weakest major conference in the country.
The Big 12 Conference Don't be surprised if at least four Big 12 teams make the Sweet 16 and three land in the Elite Eight. Kansas may have been down this year, but half of the reason was that its conference was tough — tough enough to have the Javahawks still listed at No. 17 in the RPI
The Miami Hurricanes They got some hype last year and made a small splash in the tournament, but this year's Hurricanes play tough defense and are headed for at least the Elite Eight in the weak South Regional.
The Creighton Bluejays This is the second-straight NCAA Tournament for former Kansas State coach Dana Altman's team. Last year, Creighton knocked off Louisville in the first round before losing to Maryland, but this year's Bluejays can shoot threes. They don't pretend to have a strong inside game. They just make threes — lots of them.
Those tournament pools make it hard, though. You want to write your favorite team into the Final Four in your bracket because it could somehow jinx it if you don't.
If you live in this fantasy world, here are some other upset picks that might help you overcome choosing the beloved Jayhawks to go to the Elite Eight.
They look ready to knock off the Chris Porter-less Auburn Tigers. Beating Iowa State in the second round will be a tougher task.
The Fresno State Bulldogs Jerry Tarkanian's gang is filled with talent, as well as the nation's leading scorer in Courtney Alexander. Look for the Bulldogs to jump into the Sweet 16.
It's as important to know which teams to avoid as it is to know which teams to pick. Stay away from the Pac 10. Weak conferences make weak teams. Stanford and Arizona will be home before the weekend is out.
Good luck in those pools. Pick the Jayhawks if you want, but the jinx will be on you.

In addition to Itsnick, the Jayhawks benefited from a strong all-around team performance.
Senior Ryan Vermere shot a two- round total of 145 putting him in a tie for eighth place.
"I was really pleased with our first round today, we were able to make a lot of putts," Randall said. "The course was very tough, so I was very pleased with our overall performance."
The 'Hawks' scoring was rounded out by junior Andy Stewart who recorded a 147, Conrad Roberts with 151 and sophomore Casey Harbour with 156.
With one round remaining, the Jayhawk will have to have to repeat some performances today in order to be in contention for the team title.

Bearcats have reason to complain
Track and Field at Dr Pepper Invitational in Waco, Texas Women's swimming at NCAA Championships in Indianapolis.
By Jim Litke The Associated Press
It figured that a devastating injury would turn Bob Huggins into a sympathetic figure. It didn't hurt that it happened to somebody else.
Another selection Sunday ended with the Cincinnati coach wearing a scowl. Some surprise. In past years, Huggins complained about his Bearcats being seeded too low, too close to Temple, or too far from their Midwestern base. Because they lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament each of the last three years, anyway — to different teams in different towns — there was no telling whether Huggins arguments were valid or his logic flawed.
This Sunday, though, was different. This Sunday, Huggins had a reason — make that an obligation — to complain long and loud. Because this Sunday, the guys the NCAA hires to act like a selection committee acted like the Psychic Friends Network instead.
Instead of assigning the Bearcats a ranking and a region based on their accomplishments, committee members filled out the official brackets based on what they think will happen. In Cincinnati's case, that meant traveling to Nashville, Tenn., as a No. 2 seed instead of opening the tournament just up
Commentary
the road in Cleveland as No.1.
"Who has a better chance than we do!" Huggins asked. He didn't wait for the answer. "I don't see anybody out there who has a better chance than we do. I don't see anybody out there that we can't beat."
Huggins had a better case a few days ago before star center Kenyon Martin broke his leg. Three minutes into a Conference USA tournament game against Saint Louis, the best player in the college game, playing on the best team, crumpled in a heap, shattering the fibula and ripping ligaments in his right leg.
Cincinnati was 28-3 overall, playing one of the five toughest schedules in the country; 16-0 in one of the toughest conferences. When committee chairman Craig Thompson was reminded of those numbers, he conceded Cincinnati was a certain No. 1 without the injury to Martin.
"No doubt." he said.
"No doubt, he said.
That answer didn't satisfy Huggins, since Arizona stayed out west and received a No.1 seed, even though its center, Loren Woods, might not play in the tournament because of a bad back.
Thompson said the difference was that the Wildcats already had played five games — and beaten Stanford — without Woods.
"There was a test there." Thompson said.
Of course, Arizona also lost two "tests" without Woods, which might be why Huggins showed the same disdain Martin had for the committee's decisions that Martin once reserved for opponents in the lane. He swatted the arguments away, telling committee member to get the weak stuff out of there and consider taking all the traditional indexes, rankings and measuring sticks with them.
"Let's throw the rankings away." Huggins said. "And let's let them pick who they want — if that's what it is, the best guess.
"But that," he added, "is not what we've been told for years and years."
You can tell when someone used to bullying people has been wronged; he does not handle desperation well. Huggins patiently made his case again and again, but he looked ready to jump out of the television set at several points and take somebody apart.
What restrained him, no doubt, was the thought that enough people have been hurt already.

Pitcher to test worth for'Hawks
Kansas looks for win against Corpus Christi
By Amanda Kaschube
By Amanda Kashubi sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
When Brandon O'Neal took to the mound during the seventh inning Friday, not only did he have worry about throwing his first pitch in three months, but he also had 4,000 Texans taunting him.
"The Texas crowd was really nervewracking, but I wasn't too nervous," said O'Neal, who made his first appearance on the mound since suffering tendinitis in his throwing arm. "It felt really good to throw, but I'm still not 100 percent."
His experience pitched him out of a trying seventh inning. With the bases loaded and no outs, the first batter grounded into a double play, and the next fled out to center. He earned the save in the 'Hawks' 8-7 win, just like coach Bobby Randall knew he could.
"He came in to a tough spot and got the save," Randall said. "He pitched three innings extraordinarily. That's good considering he hasn't pitched in a game or scrimmage in three months."
O'Neal, a righthanded junior who went 2-2 with one save last season, was supposed to be a key member of the Kansas bullpen before his injury. Now, he just wants to keep his pitch
count down and his appearances up.
"There's no difference in starting a game or coming out in relief," he said. "I just want to help the team any way I can, and I'll do whatever that takes. I need to work on my strength, but I'm ready to come out of the pen."
He joins senior Ryan Schmidt, junior Sam Gish and sophomore Dan Olson as the go-to pitchers in tight situations for the 'Hawks.
“It’s pretty obvious that we needed Brandon,” Randall said. “It’s a big difference to know he’s available — he’s a valuable part of the team.”
O'Neal will get another chance to prove his worth today when the 'Hawks play Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in a noon doubleheader at Hoglund Ballpark, Kansas. 13-7, defeated the Islanders last month in a Tuesday doubleheader. 15-3 and 19-9.
The mid-week games don't count toward the 'Hawks' conference standing, but it gives them a chance to get a lot of pitchers some innings. Kansas is in a tie for fifth along with four schools.
"It helps us develop depth in our pitching staff, but it's not a time to rest," Randall said. "Texas A&M-Corpus Christi hit a lot on us, and we gave up a lot of runs. It's not a sure thing at all."
34
O'Neal's pitching slanted the game in the 'Hawks' favor Friday — the only win in the three-game series against No. 4 Texas. And Randall said his team needed to have the same enthusiasm toward a weaker team as well.
"These games come right after an emotional series with Texas," he said. "We can't have a letdown. We need our best effort to win."

DAVIE, Fla. — Dan Marino, the NFL's most prolific passer, retired yesterday after 17 years as quarterback of the Miami Dolphins.
Marino announces NFL retirement
The Associated Press
"I'm going to miss it." Marino said, struggling to keep his composure at a news conference. "I'm going to miss everything about it."
The 38-year-old Marino wanted to go out like John Elway and retire as a Super Bowl champion. But after parting ways with the Dolphins, he reluctantly rejected an offer to play this year for the Minnesota Vikings.
"I can say I have been blessed with a career greater than I could imagine," Marino said. "Most of all, I am going to miss Sunday afternoon."
Marino's wife, children, parents and former coach Don Shula were with him for the news conference in the team meeting room — the same location used for departure speeches by Shula and Jimmy Johnson.
"Just because you didn't win a Super Bowl doesn't mean that you are not a champion, because we all know it otherwise." Uhizaenga said.
"This is a day of celebration of a great career," Shula said. "You just want to applaud."
Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga hugged Marino after his announcement.
The owner said the Dolphins would retire No.13, build a statue
for marino and name a street after him near their stadium.
Marino read a statement, then answered questions for an hour. He said health and family were the main reasons for retiring. He said he made up his mind Thursday while sitting in his kitchen with his wife, Claire.
"I called my dad over, my mom, and I just told them," Marino said. "It wasn't a big deal or anything. We just kind of decided that and went on with the rest of the day."
Claire Marino cried during much of the news conference. Her husband managed to fight back tears.
"This is not easy," he said at one point.
Marino departs owning many of the NFL passing records. He completed 4,967 passes for 61,361 yards and 420 touchdowns, all league records. In 1984, his second season, Marino threw for 5,084 yards and 48 touchdowns, both still league records.
More than a dozen current and former Miami players attended the news conference, as did coach Dave Wannstedt, regarded by some Miami fans as a villain because he never said he wanted Marino to play this season.
Marino's only Super Bowl appearance in his second year in the NFL ended in a disappointing 38-16 loss to San Francisco. Marino spent the next 15 years trying unsuccessfully to return to the title game.
Duke finishes at No.1 for second straight year
The Associated Press
Duke, Michigan State, Stanford and Arizona, the No.1 seeds in the NCAA tournament, held the top four spots yesterday in the final Associated Press college basketball poll of the season.
The Blue Devils (27-4) jumped from third to No. 1, the second straight season they finished the season on top of the rankings. It is the eighth season, and third in a row, of coach Mike Krzyewski's 19 at Duke that the Blue Devils were ranked No. 1 at some point during the season.
The Atlantic Coast Conference regular season and tournament champions received 58 first-place votes and 1,729 points from the national media panel, easily outdisting Michigan State (26-7), which got six No. 1 votes and 1,628 points.
The Spartans moved from fifth to second after winning the Big Ten tournament for the second straight year.
Stanford and Arizona, the Pac-10 co-champions, were third and fourth.
The Cardinal (26-3) dropped one spot from last week after losing to Arizona and beating Arizona State, while the Wildcats (26-6) jumped
from ninth to No.4 after closing the regular season with wins against Stanford and California. Temple and Iowa State each moved up one spot to fifth and sixth.
Cincinnati, which was No. 1 last week, dropped to seventh following its loss to Saint Louis in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA tournament. Star center Kenyon Martin broke a leg three minutes into that game, the third loss in 31 games for the Bearcats, who still received one first-place vote.
Ohio State dropped four spots to eighth, while St. John's, the Big East champion, leaped from No. 19 to ninth, the same ranking the Red Storm had in last year's final poll. LSU rounded out the Top Ten for the second straight week.
Tennessee dropped from No. 8 to lead the Second Ten and was followed by Oklahoma, Florida, Oklahoma State, Texas, Syracuse, Maryland, Tulsa, Kentucky and Connecticut.
The last five teams were Illinois, Indiana, Miami, Auburn and Purdue. Auburn replaced Kansas, which dropped out from 24th after losing to Oklahoma State in the Big 12 quarterfinals, the only week this season the Jayhawks weren't ranked.

UConn women remain atop AP poll all season
The Associated Press
Connecticut completed a season-long run at No. 1 in The Associated Press women's basketball poll, just the fourth time a team had been on top from start to finish.
The Huskies (30-1) received 41 of a possible 44 first-place votes from a national media panel and open the NCAA tournament later this week as the No.1 seed in the East Regional.
Connecticut won the Big East regular-season and tournament championships and rolled to most of its victories in dominating fashion. The Huskies reached 100 points seven times this season and have outscored their opponents by an average of 30 points.
Tennessee was the most recent team to last all season at No.1, accomplishning that feat in 1997-98. Texas did it in the 1985-86 season and Louisiana Tech in 1980-81. The AP poll started in the 1976-77 season.
Xavier made the poll for the first time as the only newcomer in the season's final round of voting. The Muskeeteers (26-4) are in at No. 24 after winning the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament.
George Washington, which had been 23rd, dropped out.
The top four teams in the poll all were seeded No. 1 in the NCAA tournament. Tennessee is the top seed in the Mideast, Louisiana Tech in the Midwest and Georgia in the West.
Connecticut received 1,097 points in the voting. That was 42 more than Tennessee (28-3), which received the three other firstplace votes. Tennessee handed UConn its only loss, 72-71 at Storrs, Conn., on Feb. 2. That came a month after Connecticut won at Tennessee.
Xavier, which gave Connecticut a scare before losing 86-84 in the second round of last year's NCAA tournament, relies on balance and excellent shooting. The Musketeers have made 49.8 percent of their shots, and four players average between 10 and 15 points.
they became the 37th team to be ranked this season after beating George Washington 80-66 in the Atlantic 10 finals. It's the third time this season George Washington has fallen out of the poll after being ranked for just one week.

Cornhuskers fire coach
Basketball team hits 10-year low
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Danny Nee was fired as Nebraska's basketball coach yesterday after his team's worst finish in 10 years.
Nee's termination will be effective March 31, and a national search for a new coach will begin immediately, said Bill Byrne, Nebraska athletics director. He said the university would be forced to pay Nee about $400,000 to buy out the three years remaining in his contract.
The announcement came 16 days after Nee became Nebraska's winning coach by one win with a 254-189 record in 14 seasons, the longest career of any active Big 12 Conference basketball coach.
The 'Huskers, who failed to win a single conference game on the road this season, lost to Baylor in the first round of the Big 12 tournament Thursday. Nebraska finished with an 11-19 record, its worst under Nee since the 1989-'90 Huskers went 10-18 and failed to earn a bid to either the NIT or NCAA Tournaments.
Byrne said he had several possible
candidates for the job in mind but he refused to name them. He said he would not approach them until their seasons were finished.
Nee did not immediately return a
Nee did not in message seeking comment left at his office yesterday.
Byrne said Nebraska's poor season was not the lone reason for his dismissal.
M. SARAVANI
Nee: Received
$400,000 from
Nebraska for a contract buyout
"It's just not one season or one incident," said Byrne, who would not get into the specifics of what
led to his decision. "It's an accumulation of things."
Nee, 54, often was targeted in local radio call-in shows and newspaper columns. He said throughout the season that he was not going to quit. A resignation would have cut him out of the hefty contract buyout.
It didn't sit well with Nebraska fans that few home-grown players were on his team's rosters. Three Nebraskans were on the roster at the end of his final season, none
under scholarship. A 1996 practice boycott, when players went to Byrne with complaints about Nee, also has not been forgotten.
Nee made a late-season push to come back for next season by sending a letter to season-ticket holders, pointing out the program's strong points during his career.
Nee guided the 'Huskers to the 20-win mark in seven of his 14 seasons. He led Nebraska to five of 104-year-old program's six NCAA Tournament appearances along with six visits to the NIT.
But the 'Huskers never contended for regular-season conference titles in either the Big Eight or Big 12 when it expanded. Nebraska's best conference finish was in the 1990-91 season, when the 'Huskers went 26-8 overall and 9-5 in the Big Eight, finishing third in the league. It was also Nee's best season as a head coach.
Nee tied Joe Cipriano's school coaching record of 253 wins on Jan. 29 when Nebraska beat Kansas State, but the 'Huskers followed with a six-game losing streak. Nee finally got the record after Nebraska's 69-64 win against Colorado on Feb. 26, but the 'Huskers closed the season by losing 9-of-10.

KANSAS Legislature
Democrats want greater, more equal financial aid
By Katrina Hull
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
State financial aid should keep up with tuition increases, Democratic lawmakers sav.
Two democratic proposals introduced in the House and the Senate yesterday would mandate the governor to increase need-based financial aid at the same percentage rate as tuition.
The concern is that in the last seven years, need-based financial aid has increased a mere 5 percent, while at the same time tuition has gone up over 30 percent," said Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley. D-Topeka.
But Hensley's proposal already failed in a 26-13 near-partisan vote on the Senate floor.
State Sen. Sandy Praeger, R-Lawrence, voted against the proposal. She could not be reached for comment yesterday afternoon.
Hensley said that unfortunately, increasing tuition had become a partisan issue.
"We will not stand by while the Republicans balance the budget on the backs of college students and their families." Hensley said.
Tuition increases at Regents schools averaged 5.7 percent this year. Under the Democratic proposal, the governor would be required to increase money for need-based financial aid programs by an equal or greater amount.
Hensley introduced the tuition mandate as an amendment to another bill, allowing the proposal to reach the Senate floor quickly.
The House proposal will take the slow route through committees before reaching the floor — if it makes it to the floor at all.
State Rep. Troy Findley, D-Dawrence, introduced legislation identical to Hensley's in the House Federal and State Affairs Committee. He said he thought the bill would be assigned to the House Education Committee.
Findley also said he had planned to introduce the legislation last week on the House floor as an amendment, but Republican leaders caught wind and pulled the bill he was going to use as a vehicle for the tuition mandate.
"Strategically we planned to release the proposals on the same day," Findley said.
Strategy aside, one student leader at the University of Kansas said he was glad that the idea was out.
Ben Walker, legislative director for the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said yesterday's proposals could set the stage for changes in the state financial-aid system.
"I think that is something that students should pursue in the future," Walker said. "When there is little legislative oversight for tuition increases, this proposal provides a way that the Legislature can confront the issue and protect students."
However, the common argument against more financial aid is that Kansas universities are still a bargain. Hensley disagreed.
"Kansas universities are some of the best in the nation," Hensley said. "But calling them a bargain doesn't mean there aren't kids out there struggling to afford a college education."
Despite yesterday's Senate defeat, Findley and Hensley said they remained optimistic that something would be done to ensure that financial aid kept pace with tuition increases.
"If we are asking students to bear a greater cost for their education, the state should provide greater financial assistance," Hensley said. "This issue is not going away."

Student, resident living peacefully in renovated church

To many people, a church is considered a safe haven, but Joe Meazle and Betsy Hart call a church their home.
Meaillé, Lawrence graduate student, and Hart, who works for the American Cancer Society from her home office, live in a tiny stone building at 10th and Kentucky streets that was once a United Presbyterian church.
"We've kind of gotten attached to the place," Meazle said. "When we look back on our college days we will always remember living in a church."
About 22 years ago, Bud Jennings, Lawrence resident, decided to buy the building and renovate it just for fun. He said
he saw something special in the structure.
"I thought it was a neat little place," Jennings said. "I wanted it saved."
Meadle said that part of his decision to move into the church was that uniqueness.
"We liked it the best because "it was got a ton of character," Meazle said. "It takes advantage of the high-vaulted ceilings with the loft, and they incorporated a piece of the old altar rail into the balcony."
Meazle said the exterior offered more than aesthetic qualities.
"There's quite a bit of noise on 10th street on the weekends." Meazle said. "But if we shut the windows, the outside walls are so thick with the stone covering that we can't hear anything."
The mailboxes reflect the building's past, too. Each one is labeled with a different apostle

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Bill may allow Legal Services to help more
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University policy allows students to bring whomever they choose to an academic hearing — anyone but a lawyer from Legal Services for Students.
A bill that will be introduced before Student Senate tonight attempts to change that policy.
"We're trying to make their role more prominent and have them be able to go along with you so they can do a little bit more," said Greg Smith, liberal arts and sciences senator and one of the bill's 21 sponsors.
Although the bill still would not allow Legal Services lawyers to represent students in court, Smith said he hoped one day that would happen.
"It's a slow process, but our goal is to eventually get to that point," Smith said.
Jessica Bankston, Nunemaker senator and another sponsor of the bill, said her vision for the bill was that lawyers could advise students during a hearing but would not argue for them.
Legal Services only has been able to advise students on University issues for about a year and a half, said Michelle Kessler, associate director. Since then, Legal Services has advised students on issues such as parking tickets, housing contracts and residency applications, even though they can't attend hearings.
Services are free.
Although the bill was student-generated without input from legal services, Kessler said the change would be OK.
"We've always been open to appearing in hearings with a student," Kessler said. "Since we're funded with student-fee money, we're happy to do whatever students want us to do."
While Legal Services is financed by $8 per semester student fees through Senate, it operates as a part of the University.
Kessler said employees at Legal Services get state paychecks and attend meetings at the Department of Student Life and Student Affairs, which may cause some to see representation against the University as a conflict of interest.
Legally, it isn't, because Legal Services wouldn't ever represent the University, Kessler said.
"When they're thinking conflict, they're thinking it might strain relationships between us and other offices," Kessler said.
However, Kessler said she thought many students sought outside council for disciplinary hearings. She said they might think Legal Services was on the side of the University.
"They might think, 'I see you hanging out with the dean in the student union,'" Kessler said.
Flaming Lips to bring new sound to town
By BriAnne Hess
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
It's not punk, pop or rock.
It's the Flaming Lips.
The three-man band performs at 9 p.m. tonight at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Tickets are $12.50 in advance and $14 at the door. The granada box office said a few tickets remained yesterday.
SOMEBODY'S LISTENING
"The reason I like it is because it's not what you hear on the radio and MTV — it's different, and it challenges what other music does," he said.
Ryan Paget, Scott City senior, said he became a Flaming Lips fan when he heard the band's latest CD, The Soft Bulletin, on KJHK.
Paget also said that the music had strong instrumentation, movement and depth and it didn't really fit into any one musical style.
Ikla Iwanczuk, Lawrence freshman, bought tickets to the show as soon as she read the Flaming Lips were coming to town. She said she first heard the band when its single "She Don't Use Jelly" was released in 1993.
"I hate classifying music," he said. "I classify it for myself as to whether it's good or not."
When her roommate bought The Soft Bulletin, Iwanczuk said she was floored because she was expecting the same kind of music. It wasn't.
The Flaming Lips will perform from their latest CD The Soft Balloon at 9.p.m. tonight at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Contributed photo
"It's just a big epic work," Iwanczuk said.
"It makes you happy right away."
The Flaming Lips is comprised of Michael Ivins on bass, guitar and vocals; Steven Drozd, guitars and vocals; and Wayne Coyne on strings and guitars.
Ivins said that the concert would feature
The band also added some brass and strings instead of just sticking to guitars like it did on previous CDs, Ivins said. Because no one in the band knew how to play a string or brass instrument, technology helped the band expand its capabilities and allowed them to orchestrate the music.
music mostly from The Soft Bulletin and that the CD connected on a more personal level than the band's earlier music.
"You can put it on and go on an emotional journey through the whole thing," Ivins said.
why limit ourselves to blue and green when there are 64 colors in the crayon box?" Ivins said. "Through the miracle of modern science we can do it and use it to further the song itself."
"Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy as far as how you do things and as far as who you are," Ivins said. "After a while, we just threw that all out the window and decided not to let ourselves get in the way of doing what it was we wanted to do. I think Pogo said 'We have seen the enemy and he are us,' and that is so true."
Ivins attributed the band's 17-year existence to enthusiasm and teamwork.
Ivins said that, philosophically, the band was not really influenced by a certain band or type of music and that the group's music didn't really fall into a specific musical genre. He said the band's music matched the members' attitudes about life.
"You could never just wake up one morning and decide to change things." Ivins said. "But once it's done, it's like it's been like that forever."
Chenowith says he'll hardly have time for Senate
Yesterday's edition of the Kansan reported that Eric Chenowith, Orange, Calif., junior and Kansas men's basketball player, said he wanted to run for a liberal arts and sciences seat with the United Students coalition.
Yesterday, Chenowith said his running for Senate had been blown out of proportion.
"I thought it would be a good idea to do this because it would be a fun thing to do in my spare time," he said.
Senate meetings are held every Wednesday night , which, during basketball season, may conflict with his hoops schedule.

Chenowith: Says Senate would be fun in his spare time
"People are talking
about how I'm going to balance this and college basketball, "Chenwai said.
So, how is he going to balance it?
"All I'm going to do is go and vote every once in a while," he said. "I'm hardly ever going to be able to make it. It's not a big deal at all. I have practice, so I'm going to go when I can."
Some issues he endorsed included the nosmoking policy near entryways and getting more benefits for the spirit squads.

Baldwin man arrested in peeping incidents
A 21-year-old female KU student and a 28-year-old female Lawrence resident became the objects of a window peeper's attention Monday night.
Lawrence police arrested 47-year-old Robert L. Case, Baldwin, when they found him standing outside an apartment window with his hands in his pants, Sgt. George Wheeler said.
Wheeler said he did not know if the victims were aware that they were being watched.
Wheeler said police were called at 11:33 p.m. Monday to an apartment complex in the block of 2200 Heatherwood Street. A male resident of the apartment complex called police and reported a prowler, Wheeler said.
Case was booked into the Douglas County Jail and arrested at 12:45 a.m. Monday on charges of window peeping. He was released at 1:27 a.m. Tuesday on $150 cash bond.
Authorities investigate mysterious shooting
Lawrence police are investigating a shooting that took place overnight Monday.
Sgt. George Wheeler said police received a call at 11:24 p.m. Monday from an East Lawrence resident who said there was a man with a gun at a residence in the 800 block of
Connecticut Street. Around the same time, Lawrence Memorial Hospital officials called police to report that a man with a gunshot wound was at the hospital.
Officers went to the hospital to interview the victim, a 21-year-old Lawrence resident. Wheeler said the victim had a gunshot wound to the back of his left leg.
Meanwhile, Wheeler said, officers at the Connecticut Street residence determined that the victim had been shot at that residence, in a stairway leading to an upstairs apartment. He said police found blood in the stairway.
Police do not have any suspects. They are seeking information from the public. Wheeler advised anyone with information about the crime to call Crime Stoppers of Lawrence at 843-TIPS. Informants could be eligible for a cash award.

Legislature considers baby drop-off bill
It also was a chance for adversaries to be together on an issue. Right to Life of Kansas and Planned Parenthood — with opposing views on abortion — agreed the bill is a good thing for protecting abandoned newborns.
TOPEKA — Legislation allowing a parent to abandon a newborn baby without getting in trouble with the law is a good idea, but it needs some work before it's ready for Senate debate, its sponsor says.

"I think the concept has strong support by the committee, but since this is new legislation, we need to pull the best from existing practices in other states," said Chairwoman Lana Oleen, R-Manhattan. "The concept deserves the work."
The bill was considered yesterday by the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee. All of the witnesses spoke favorably about the measure, but several offered ideas

Black colleges to remain in federal loan program
NATION
Washington — The federal government spared 13 historically black colleges from being cut from the federal student loan program after the schools agreed on plans to get students to pay up, an official said yesterday.
The schools risked losing their ability to take part in the loan program because of high default rates by their students.
Most steps to be taken involve working with students so they understand their duty to repay the loans, said Greg Woods, chief operating officer of the Student Financial Assistance office at the Education Department in Washington.
Woods didn't know exactly how much money was at stake, but he said the 105 historically black colleges and universities received an average of $12 million in grants and student loans. Funding for the 13 schools would come to roughly $130 million, he said.
In 1992 legislation, Congress required any school with a default rate exceeding 25 percent to be cut automatically from the loan program. But it exempted historically black colleges and universities because of their mission. A 1998 amendment ended that exemption on July.
The schools generally have three times more students failing to repay federal loans than other institutions — about 21 percent compared with 7 percent — the report found.

The KU Public Safety Office responded to a medical emergency at 8:37 a.m. Monday in Fraser Hall. A 56-year-old woman was complaining of breathing difficulties and pains in her left side. Paramedics examined the woman and transported her to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Speakers stress social diversity
by Kimberly Thompson
Special to the Kansan
"Human beings don't do very well with diversity in general," he said. "You want to hang together with your own kind. You have distrust and suspicion in the 'other' kind."
Diversity is important in our society, but humans don't trust people who are different from them, said Allan Hanson, distinguished professor of anthropology and humanities and western civilization, last night at a meeting focused on the understanding of hate groups.
The meeting was sponsored by the Standing Together Against Negative Displays group. David Smith, associate professor of sociology, also spoke at the meeting. He said that three to four centuries ago there was nobody who was opposed to genocide but that some remarkable changes had taken place since.
Now people are in favor of solidarity, although there are still different levels of prejudice, he said. "There are the truly prejudiced and the truly non-prejudiced," he said. "To reach people, you have to do your best to understand them."
Hanson and Smith also discussed nationally known anti-gay protester and Topeka minister Fred Phelps.
Phelps and his followers' fear of homosexuals is merely psychological, Hanson said. They can't understand the notion of people with a different lifestyle and that is where the hate comes from, he added.
Smith said that STAND members should try to educate people who had no definite opinions instead of the trying to change truly prejudiced people such as Phelps and his followers.

Tibet issue simple, monk says
Speaker spent 33 years tortured in Chinese jails
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Ryan Blethen
Palden Gyatso, a thin, 64-year-old Tibetan monk swathed in a crimson robe, calmly told a crowd of about 90 people how a Chinese prison guard jammed an electric baton in his mouth and shocked him.
This was just one of the tales of torture that Gyatso relayed to the crowd at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union last night. Gyatso used a translator to tell his story.
Gyatso was at the University of Kansas to talk about his 38 years in Chinese prisons and how the people of Tibet were suffering under Chinese rule. He was brought to the University by Students for a Free Tibet.
There should be no debate about whether Tibet should be an independent country, Gyatso said.
China's occupation of Tibet, which began in 1949, was not legal, Gyatso said. On March 10, 1959, Gyatso and thousands of other Tibetans took to the streets of Lhasa to peacefully protest China's occupation. He was arrested, beginning a 33-year journey through Chinese prisons.
"The Tibet issue is a very simple one," he said.
nine-hour days paving fields, he said.
"We were used as oxen. Gavisso said.
The Chinese turned Tibetan monasteries into prisons, Gyatso said.
"They plastered the windows," he said,
"There was no mattress and no toilet."
In prison, the young were forced to work nine-hour days plowing fields. he said.
If prisoners were too old for the rigors of plowing and other back-breaking work, they were made to pick up human excrement. One prisoner with Gyatso was executed on the spot for refusing to pick up the excrement.
"Chinese people consider human excrement better than human life." Gvatso said.
would put thumb cuffs behind his back, string a rope between his back and the cuffs and hang him in the air.
Holding up what he called an electric baton, like the one used in his mouth, he said that the batons also were used to torture Tibetan nuns.
"They used this cattle prod inside the private part of the woman," he said.
Gyatso said that the atrocities that happened to him till were happening today to the people of Tibet, but that he harbored no hard feelings toward those who tortured him.
"I don't have any hatred to my tormentors," he said.
Sarah Shik, Overland Park junior, said she came to see Gatyso speak because the situation in Tibet should be something Americans thought about more.
"I don't think it's something we think about enough in Kansas." she said.
City honors outgoing official
"I think that every single person deserves to live how they want," she said.

Jenny Griffiths, Overland Park sophomore, said she attended the speech because of her interest in human rights and the message that Gvatso delivered.

Mike Tubbs, management assistant with the city and Lawrence graduate student, said Bremby was a good person and coworker.
Former mayors, city commissioners and city employees gathered before last night's City Commission meeting to say goodbye to assistant city manager Rod Bremb, who will start working for the University of Kansas in April.
Bremby quit his job with Lawrence to become associate director of the KU Work Group on Health Promotion and Community Development.
"He's expressing some enthusiasm about the challenges the new position offers," he said. "He had excellent interpersonal and people skills. For me, he was an excellent mentor."
"I'm very happy for Rud pursuing this," she said. "It's going to be a real boost for his
Tubbs said he hoped he would keep in touch with Bremby throughout their careers.
Bob Schulte, former city commissioner and mayor, said that although it meant a loss for the city, he was happy Bremby
would be able to change jobs without moving.
Emily Dahlem, former secretary to the city manager, said that although she had retired in September 1998, she and Bremby had kept in touch.
"It's a great opportunity for Rod," he said. "He's done a great job with the city, and I don't see why he wouldn't do the same with the University."
City Commission
career, and he's going to do a superb job."
Bremby said that he was flattered by the reception's turnout and that it reflected an effective city organization. He started working for Lawrence in 1990.
In other action:
The commission took steps toward pushing out Lawrence's eastern boundary to make room for the new American Eagle Outfitters distribution center.
The proposal had three parts: amend the city's long-range growth plan, Horizon 2020; annex about 94 acres east of East Hills Business Park; and rezone those acres to industrial land.
The last two proposals passed on a 4-1 vote on first reading, which means they must be passed once again on second reading and at a later date to become law.
The commission sent the first item back to the planning commission, which must finalize a recommendation about the amount of land to be annexed.
Old church now serves as apartments
Continued from page 1A
"I don't know if the spirituality has a play," Waters said. "But I think it is a beautiful old building."
George Waters, owner of George Waters Management, Inc. and manager of the property, agreed and said the structure was the key selling point.
Hart said she and Meazle knew it was a church when they moved into the place, but that the history of the building was not a motivating factor.
"There's a lot of different things we like about it." Hart said. "The fact it was a church certainly didn't have a negative impact."
Jennings began the more than $70,000 renovation project in about 1978, and according to the Lawrence city directory, it was first occupied in 1985.
The building, which was built in 1863, served as a United Presbyterian church from its inception until 1920, when the denomination was dissolved, said Dave Seal, coowner of the building.
Dick Pierson, pastor at West Side Presbyterian Church, 1024 Kasold Drive, said the ultra-conservative United wing of the Presbyterian church split away.
"They became Presbyterian USA, and United no longer exists," he said.
From there, according to the city direc.
tories, the building was used by Curtis and Preisach Contractors until 1929-30 when it was home to the Immanuel Lutheran Church. Because no property records were kept in Lawrence from 1931 through 1960, the activity in the building during that time is unknown. However, from at least 1961 until the time of its renovation, the building served as the Lawrence Bible Chapel.
Although it is fascinating, Seal said the building's history created problems when it came to finding tenants.
"It creates too much interest when there is a vacancy," Seal said. "People don't necessarily want to live there, they just want to see it."
Heavy drinking on campuses rising, study shows
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Binge drinkers on college campuses are likely to be white, live in a fraternity and have a history of binge drinking in high school. And the percentage of frequent bingers is on the rise, according to a study released yesterday by the Harvard School of Public Health.
The survey, conducted last year, was based on responses to written questionnaires from 14,000 students at 119 colleges around the country. The survey, sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was published in the March issue of the Journal of American College Health. The margin of error was plus or minus 1 percent.
The study found the population of frequent binge drinkers rose last year to 22.7 percent of the student population, up from 19.8 percent in 1983 and 20.9 percent in 1997.
The percentage of students going on binges stayed roughly the same through the 1990s, but American campuses grew more

Every day, Betty Visser hears a voice in her head that tells to her, "Cut your身体 and die."
She sees demons in her apartment, and when she sees people, they look angry and have faces as white as flour.
Visser, a 47-year-old Lawrence resident, has paranoid schizophrenia.
In the early 1980s, Visser was an art history graduate student at the University of Kansas. But she had to withdraw.
"I loved it, but I just couldn't focus," she said. She speaks to psychology classes at the University about her illness, which commonly begin in college-aged people.
The National Institute of Mental Health reports that one in 100 people in the United States has schizophrenia. More than 2 million Americans battle the illness each year.
Schizophrenia commonly occurs between the ages of 18 and 32, said Rue Cromwell, distinguished professor of clinical psychology. He said the early onsets of schizophrenia occurred in early adulthood from ages 16 to 18.
Visser began having hallucinations and hearing voices when she was an 18-year-old sophomore at the University of Denver.
"Things were coming unglued," she said. "It seemed like all the teachers were speaking Greek, and everyone but me could understand them."
Visser said she went on a special diet to purify herself. She only ate foods that were white, such as vanilla ice cream and yogurt.
"It's a cruel illness because it hits you just as you're becoming an adult," she said. "Just as you're getting your feet on the ground, you get struck down."
She eventually got a bachelor's degree in fine arts at the University of Iowa. She married and moved to New York City with her husband.
That's when both her husband and a friend told Visser she had changed and was acting differently. She went to a psychiatrist.
She stopped talking to people because she thought they could read her mind. Visser thought her thoughts were being flashed across her forehead.
She moved into her own apartment because she wanted to be alone. She was hospitalized in 1975 after she cut her wrists, and physicians diagnosed her illness as paranoid schizophrenia.
She went to Emporia State University and earned her master's degree in library science. Visser then worked at a library in Kansas City for a few years before she was hospitalized again.
After living in different homes and nursing homes, Visser moved to Lawrence permanently 1h 1989. She lives in her own apartment and lives off social security disability income. Her
SYMPTOMS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA
Initial symptoms may occur gradually; Mild feelings of tension
- inability to sleep or concentrate
Loss of interest in school work or friends
As the illness becomes worse, these symptoms may appear:
- Delusions: People may have false ideas, such as thinking someone is spying on them or thinking they are someone famous.
■ Hallucinations: People may hear imaginary voices that give commands or comments. It is less common for people to think they see, feel or taste something that does not exist.
Disordered speech or thinking: People may move from one topic to another, but not make sense. They may make up their own words or sounds.
Causes of Schizophrenia
Genetics: A person may inherit a tendency to develop the disease.
Chemistry: A chemical imbalance when the brain is very sensitive or produces too much of the brain chemical dopamine
- Complications during pregnancy or birth:
  Developing a viral infection or improper nutrition during pregnancy or improper nutrition during pregnancy may cause an increased risk.
Different types of Schizophrenia
**Paranoid schizophrenia:** The person acts extremely suspicious and persecuted.
Disorganized schizophrenia: The person is often coherent but does not have delusions.
*Given nonetheless, the person does not have defenses.*
*Catatonic schizophrenia: The person is with drawn, mute, negative and has unusual postures.*
- Residual schizophrenia: The person does not have delusions or hallucinations but does not have an interest in life.

mother, Virginia also lives in Lawrence.
Visser said she depended on nine medications including anti-psychotics and antidepressants to make it through the day.
"As much as I hate the medication, my doctor told me I'd be institutionalized for the rest of my life if I didn't have it," she said.
But, she said, sometimes the medication didn't help and she was hospitalized a few times each year.
Schizophrenia is caused by structural problems in the brain and chemical imbalances, David Holmes, professor of psychology, said.
He said 60 percent of people with schizophrenia were seriously depressed. Depression was sometimes mistaken for the early stages of schizophrenia, he said.
Visser said there was no relief.
"It won't leave you alone," she said. "It's like I'm wrapped up in bandages. I'm controlled by my illness."

Online primary important first step
Who says Kansans won't have a presidential primary this year? Certainly not two Kansas legislators who have set up shop on the Internet in an attempt to salvage some semblance of a primary and simultaneously test the waters of technological advances.
By creating a mock Kansas primary on the Internet, Reps. Lisa Benlon, Shawnee, and Henry Helgerson, D-Wichita, deserve praise for, at the very least, trying.
The site, www.kansasvote2000.com,
cannot be mistaken for an official primary. One quickly notices the garish photos of the candidates and a description of the political parties that, laden with flowery descriptions and unproven conjecture, surely never would see the light of day in any traditional polling place.
Experiment in Internet voting may increase voter turnout political participation
However, the weaknesses do not undermine the importance of this site. For one, this site shows that the state is ready if necessary to upgrade its primary format. Rather than being behind the technological curve, Kansas is proving to be ahead of it. Furthermore, an Internet primary could increase voter turnout and participation.
As part of the most wired cross-section of America, college students also are some of the most apathetic about voting. By incorporating our fascination with computers with the ability to
cast a vote, many will be more likely to participate actively in our democracy.
However, there are numerous drawbacks that come with online voting. First, security must be heightened to an impeccable degree to prevent voting fraud. One of the most pressing questions is whether we should make voting a point-and-click enterprise. Perhaps the beauty of voting lies in the requirement of leaving the home to join the democratic tradition.
Regardless, the Web site established for the very unofficial Kansas primary is a wonderful start in the right direction. Perhaps legislators will learn that online voting is not feasible. If this is true, we will have learned a valuable lesson. Maybe online voting will prove to be successful. In this case, we will have made tremendous advances in our democracy.

Baby drop perpetuates children's abandonment
In Minnesota and South Africa, parents can anonymously drop their unwanted babies off at local day care centers. The babies are placed in a chute, and they fall into a warm bed and into the care of center officials.
In a couple of weeks, a youth help organization will implement a similar program in Hamburg, Germany. the Associated

reported on March 4. The Georgia House of Representatives approved a program early this month by which mothers could leave their day-old infants with hospital employees without being charged with abandonment or child cruelty. The vote wasn't even close: 153-15. Now the bill just has to pass the state Senate.
Georgia isn't the first state to entertain such an idea. Texas passed a similar law last year, and two Alabama counties allow it.
These programs began with the babies' best interests in mind. They provide mothers and fathers with the option of life for their babies rather than abandoning or killing them, or even aborting them before birth. The infants have a better chance of surviving in a positive environment where they are cared for and loved.
While 'baby-drop' groups and individuals only are attempting to bring hope — and a chance for life — to unwanted children, they are providing a sense of reassurance that may only perpetuate the problems that stem from unwanted children.
Officials and organization directors viewed these programs as the answer to the problem of unwanted babies being left in public bathrooms, nurseries and even trash bins. And the problem seems to be a great one because in 1988, 1,046 children and teens were reported abandoned.
The attitude it encourages reminds me of a frame of mind my younger sister had when she
The last time I tried to drop anything off anonymously was a couple of years ago. I took a box of stuffed animals to the Wichita Children's Home before Christmas, but the donation process wasn't simple. Before the center would accept the items, I had to fill out a form that asked for my name, address and phone number as well as a physical and financial description of my donation.
purchased a pet ferret years ago. When I asked her if she was absolutely certain that she was ready for the responsibility, as well as the time and financial commitments, her comment was nonchalant and unconcerned. "Well, if I don't like it or if it doesn't work out for me, I can always drop it off at the pound or something." she said. "It's worth a try."
Jenny didn't have any reason to be worried. There would surely be other people to care for the animal. She would not be reprimanded in any way if she decided she didn't want it. So, several months later, after she was tired of the scent, his refusal to cooperate during bath time and his nocturnal habits keeping her up late at night, she found him a new home.
Now it seems as if these baby drops and hospitals are becoming like a type of baby pound. Parents have another option if they don't like their child's demand for attention or its refusal to sleep through the night during its first weeks home. It may remove the sense of guilt to some extent because the baby has a home — it wasn't left in a smelly grocery store trash can.
But now, in some parts of our country and of our world, dropping off an infant involves more ease and less restrictions than dropping off three stuffed bears and a white, stuffed velour seal.
Individuals taking the initiative in baby-drop programs need to rethink how the program will affect parents and parents-to-be. While it is extremely important to save lives, it is more important to put an end to the problem of unwanted children and to concentrate on preventing unwanted pregnancies.

Wild news bits emerge after minimum-wage hike
Consumers, don't fret. Good U.S. economic times don't show much sign of ending soon. Burritos will remain readily available.
Prompted by this robust commerce and trade, President Bill "Pants are too restrictive" Clinton pushed for a $1 increase to the minimum wage, from $1.55 to $6.15 per hour. Last Friday, between burtio binges, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill that would do just that.
The Democratic proposal planned to increase the wage during a two-year period, and Republicans failed to extend it to three years. Republicans succeeded in adding provisions for $122 billion in tax

Nobody seems to care about the wage hike, but never mind talk about 30-year unemployment lows and record-high salaries.

"Denny (Haster, House speaker, R-Iillinois) and I were getting bombed at the Capitol T.I. G.Friday's in November when he brought up the whole wage thing." Archer said. "(President) Billy (Clinton) had been talking about uppin' the damn thing, so we thought we'd tack on a hundred billion or so in tax cuts to get a bug up his butt. All the other boys on Wavs and Means thought it was a howl."
Of those cuts, $76.8 billion would come from the estate tax, which applies to assets of $650,000 or more. Only 2 percent of the U.S. population — mostly guys named "Danforth" — pays the tax.
Clinton has said that he supports the wage raise but that he would veto the bill because it threatened the nation's prosperity and programs such as Social Security, Medicare and the National Endowment for Flatulence Research.
"Did you see Clinton's face at the press conference after the bill passed on Friday? He was missed." Archer said between chuckle-shortened

SANDUSKY, Ohio — Rarely does a vote in the House of Representatives, more than 1,000 miles away, get Tom Bucyrus mad. But on Friday, Bucyrus, the owner of an auto parts distribution company, was enraged.

WILSON, Kan. — A Wilson High School senior shocked vocational-technical school recruiters and high school officials when he signed a letter of intent yesterday with McDonald's.

"Yeah, maybe now the wife'll have more time to deal with the kids instead of working another job at Stuckey's." Philbrick said. "But I was awful sorry to see Mr. Bucyrus fly into a rage. He don't deserve to get the shaft."
Frimschopp said that joining an international corporation was more attractive than school or the extremely less robust rural economy. More surprisingly, he said it with a straight face.
"I'll finally be making enough to diversity my investment portfolio." Frimschlopp said.
In signing with McDonald's, Frimschlopp rejected a job offer from a Hardeer's three miles down the turnpike and another from his uncle, who owns a pig trough-sanitizing business. He also passed on scholarships from the local vo-tech and a nearby community college (which, he said), is run "by a bunch of weasels that are obviously ignorant of my french-frying potential").
Jake Frischmöh cited a $200 signing bonus offer as the primary reason for his decision.
When asked about his investments, Frimschlopp sheepishly replied that he now could afford a second 1883 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
"Hell, let's face it," he said. "I'm barely graduating from high school, which means those plush jobs ain't happening."

Device helps rescuers save victims from fires

Kansan staff writer
By Mindie Miller
When firefighters enter smoke- and flame-filled buildings to fight fires, their No. 1 goal is to get to the source of the fire as quickly as possible and find any victims who may be trapped.
But they're often limited by what they can see through dense, black smoke.
"In a fire situation, everything is black, and you can't see," said Jerry Karr, Lawrence Fire and Medical battalion chief. "It's all feeling, touching and shouting and that's how come so many people perish in them."
But since 1996, Lawrence firefighters have been using thermal imaging units to see through the smoke.
The first imager was donated to the department by a private citizen, but firefighters found the imagers so helpful that in 1999, the department invested in three new imagers, called FireFLIRs, that use updated technology.
FireFLIR is a self-contained viewing apparatus that uses infrared technology to allow firefighters to see and distinguish objects at different temperatures, even through dense smoke. It is manufactured by FLIR Systems, a company based in Portland, Ore.
The FLIR units can be hand-held or mounted on a helmet, leaving firefighters' hands free to carry people from burning buildings or handle equipment.
Bill Stark, battalion chief, said the Lawrence department had not yet used the equipment to make a live rescue.
"What we're using it for right now is to help us speed up the search process." he said.
Karr said speed was crucial in saving lives because the toxic gases emitted by fires made victims sleepy.
"A lot of times, we'll find fatalities within three to four yards of a door or window," he said.
The world through the lens of a FLIR unit is composed of black, white and shades of gray. Although all objects radiate a certain amount of heat, the FireFLIR differentiates between objects of different temperatures. Cool objects tend toward dark gray through the unit, while hot objects approach pure white.
Captain Joe Hoelscher said people were easy to spot through the FireFLIR because they showed up white through the unit and because they had a distinctive shape.
"Nothing else in a house looks like a human form," he said.
Hoelscher said the FireFLIRs kept firefighters safer, too.
Other than heart attacks and getting lost, losing air supply and getting asphyxiated are the leading causes of firefighters' deaths. The units allow firefighters to get in and out more quickly, he said.
The department received approval from the city commission last night to buy one additional FireFLIR with money from its 2000 budget. Each unit costs $15,950.
Adding the fifth unit would mean that the department would have one unit on each of its five front-line fire engines.
Jim McSwain, fire chief, said Lawrence firefighters had responded positively to the new technology.
"Fortunately, we haven't had an opportunity to use it on a search for a victim," he said. "But with the feedback we're getting, it's going to be very useful if we're trying to find someone in a smoke-filled building."
Student club to launch rocket in New Mexico
Bv Mike Hoffman
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Blast off — students in the KU Rocket System Development Organization are working on a rocket engine that would use liquid oxygen and JP8, the fuel used for military lets.
The group has been working on the engine for two years.
Rob Morehead, Tulsa, Okla. senior, said the group planned on placing the engine in a rocket vehicle about 35 feet long and 16
inches in diameter and launching it at the White Sands Missile Base in New Mexico in either May or June. For safety reasons, it is illegal to launch rockets in Kansas.
The club is funded by the aerospace engineering department, the Kansas University Endowment Association and the NASA space grant consortium. The project costs between $14,000 and $16,000, said Enrique Cordero, Chihuahua, Mexico, senior and group member.
The group plans on testing the motor next week in order to measure thrust and chamber pressure and check whether the
engine works according to expectations.
Besides building the rocket engine, the engineering organization is conducting research on the benefits of using denser liquid oxygen as a fuel for such rocket engines.
Cordero said the research had shown that denser liquid oxygen made the rocket vehicle lighter, which equaled better performance.
"NASA is real interested in the results of our research." Cordero said.
He said the club was student-supported "We take what we learn in class and
directly apply it," Cordero said. "We also learn communication, leadership and budgeting skills."
kay Taghavi, associate professor of aerospace engineering, said he was proud of the work that the group had done.
"It's about as close as they can actually get to a real operation outside of the University," he said.
Taghavi also said working on rockets required teamwork and responsibility.
"It's amazing that the students are able to undertake such a huge project like this with their busy schedules," he said.
KU scientists help to increase oil production within state
Special to the Kansan
Bv Jennifer Knopp
With oil prices on the rise, a team of KU geologists and engineers is helping Kansas oil producers to fish more oil out of their existing wells.
The researchers are experimenting just outside of Russell with a more efficient oil-recovery method called carbon-dioxide flooding.
Carbon-dioxide flooding is part of the Tertiary Oil Recovery Project. The project was established by the KU Geological Survey in 1974 to acquaint local oil producers with the technical and economic potential of tertiary or enhanced oil recovery.
Alan Byrnes, co-director of the
project and research scientist at the geological survey, said this method had the potential to increase oil production in the state.
"Every oil-producing state reach es a point in oil production where it peaks and then declines," he said.
He said that conventional recovery techniques were capable of removing only a small portion of the oil in reservoirs.
Byrnes said carbon-dioxide flooding was a method used only for mature oil wells that already had been through the first two stages of oil recovery.
pumped naturally to the surface by natural gas. After this supply of natural force is exhausted, water is injected into the oil reservoir and it displaces the oil from its pores in the second stage of oil recovery.
Byrnes said that after the second stage, two-thirds of the oil still was left in the well. Carbon dioxide is injected into these wells, reducing the oil's resistance to flow and pushing it to the surface.
During the first stage of the process, oil, which is found in the small spaces or pores that exist between solid particles that form rocks, is
Paul Willhite, co-director of the Tertiary Oil Project and professor of chemical engineering, said the problem with Kansas was that it had no natural carbon-dioxide resource. The only way to provide carbon dioxide is to construct a pipeline running from the Oklahoma
Panhandle to Central Kansas.
Willhite said his team of engineers, who were designing the equipment for the project, had to prove that the method worked to attract investors to finance the pipeline.
Willhite said that the project, which is in its first stage, would cost $5.4 million and is cost-shared between the KU Geological Survey, the U.S. Department of Energy and Murfin Energy Company, which will provide the land and oil.
"Our lab tests show that the process will work." Willhite said.
Tim Carr, research scientist at the geological survey, said Kansas was such a high per-capita energy user as an agricultural state that this
method would reduce the cost of oil for farming equipment.
"Oil and gas is a $2.5 billion industry here." Carr said.
Carr said the time also was ripe for testing new technology because international oil prices were so high.
"Right now there is a shortage of oil in the world, and more oil is being consumed than produced," he said. "That's why prices go up. People are looking to invest in finding oil."
Carr said he thought that carbon dioxide flooding would only indirectly affect gas prices in Kansas.
"Unless you try new things all of the time, prices will keep rising," he said.

Clint Gossage, DeSoto sophmore, has gained about 20 pounds since he came to the University of Kansas.
"I wanted to put on some weight, but probably not as much as I have," he said.
However, Gossage exercises three to five times a week and tries to pick less fattening foods.
"Well, part of it is I want to look good, and then there's health issues," Gossage said, "But I think most people our age are thinking about now, instead of further down the road."
But not everyone is as concerned about their health and fitness as Gossage.
The Worldwatch Institute, based in Washington D.C., reports that 55 percent of Americans are overweight, and 23 percent of adults are obese.
Patricia Denning, staff physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said many researchers were labeling it as an epidemic.
"Without a doubt the average weight of people is increasing, especially among children," Denning said. "It's quite frightening because it poses an increased risk for diseases at a younger age."
More physicians are using the body mass index to determine whether a person is overweight.
The index is calculated by a person's height in meters divided by the person's weight in kilograms squared. The index has been converted to height in feet and inches and weight in pounds. For example, a 6-foot man who weighed 165 pounds would have a BMI of about 22.
People with a body mass index of 25 or higher run an increased risk of developing heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis
For many students, lack of exercise, drinking alcohol and fast food contributes to obesity, said Ann Chapman, Watkins dietitian.
and sleep apnea.
She said labor-saving devices such as remote controls and escalators also have decreased the number of calories people burned.
Another factor is drinking alcohol, which has a lot of calories, Chapman said. Drinking three or four beers can amount to 1,000 calories.
Rather than focusing on fat, the total number of calories consumed is more important. Some students may opt for low-fat or fat-free foods, but end up eating more, Chapman said.
Eating more fruits and vegetables is key to weight loss and maintenance. Chapman encouraged students to add more fruits and vegetables to their diets and to eat less meat and grains. She said fruits and vegetables contained high contents of water and
fiber, which was indigestible.
"It's back to basics," Chapman said. "It's not a complete meal without fruits or vegetables."
Laura Brunow, Richardson,
Texas, freshman, eats a lot of
fruits and vegetables. If she doesn't eat some with a meal, she drinks juice.
"It gives you that clean feeling as opposed to eating seven-layer dip." she said.
Some people resort to weight-loss drinks such as Slim Fast to lose weight. Chapman described them as crutches. People are able to lose weight because they are eating fewer calories, but they usually regain the weight later, Chapman said, and they do not learn healthy eating habits.
The emphasis should be on fitness rather than weight and aspiring to be a certain weight, Chapman said.
Diabetic revitalizes support organization

Student hopes to see high group interest create awareness

diabetics need."
Brian Foster knows how difficult it is for a college diabetic to balance necessary health care and a busy schedule.
It is almost a guarantee that the Atlantic City, N.J., graduate student will get sick if he stays up late studying and skips breakfast, allowing his blood sugar level to drop.
"The whole concept of being in college with diabetes is a difficult concept because there's no regular schedule." Foster said. "It's one of the few things
Foster will graduate in May, but he hopes to lay the foundation for a University of Kansas diabetic support group.
The group will have its first meeting at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the first floor conference room in Watkins Memorial Health Center.
The meeting will include a speaker from the Kansas City, Mo., office of the American Diabetes Association.
The group is open to students, faculty and staff with type 1 or type 2 diabetes as well as people who have friends or family members with the disease.
"I want to get it started, flourish and have someone else continue it next year." Foster said. "The support group would be a really good way to let them know they're not alone out there."
The American Diabetes Association reported that 15.7 million people or 5.9 percent of the United States population
have diabetes. Of that number, 10.3 million cases of diabetes have been diagnosed, and 5.4 million have not.
The support group also will educate those who have friends and family with diabetes.
- Foster he often answered questions about the disease when he was a resident assistant at Kutztown University, in Kutztown, Penn.
One of his residents had diabetes but did not take care of himself. But the student's girlfriend knew Foster was diabetic and asked him questions about the disease, he said.
Watkins staff members will act as consultants to the support group. In addition to physicians and nurses, dietitian and psychologists also will offer their services
In the late 1980s, Watkins had a diabetic support group, but it disbanded because interest fizzled, Patricia Denning, Watkins staff physician, said.
She said the revitalization of the group would serve an important need.
"I think a lot of people would enjoy meeting other individuals who share similar lifestyles," she said. "It's very demanding and very difficult for some college students."
And with various complications like low blood sugar, it can be one of the most expensive diseases, said Christy Eickhoff, district manager of the American Diabetes Association in Wichita.
"Control is key in preventing a lot of complications from diabetes" she said.
Side effects include heart disease and liver damage.
About 30 diabetic support groups exist in Kansas, Eichkoff said. She said the University would be the second Kansas campus to have a diabetic support group. Fort Hays State University also has a group.
For more information, call Foster at 331- 3434.

The search for the elusive drink special has ended
Scott Bideau, Chamute junior, designed the Web site, www.partykpu.com, that browsers could keep informed about daily drink specials, upcoming parties, drinking games, alcoholic recipes and tips on drinking responsibly.
Bideau got the idea for the site from www.drinkspecials.com, a national drink-special locator.
Bideau said because he already designed Web pages for his part-time business, Impact Web Media, the Web site didn't cost him; he already had the tools and the expertise to design a site.
"So far I support it by myself because it's a good idea, and I learn about the specials," Bideau said. "It could be a potential moneymaker, but I would like it to be a free service."
He said designing the site took between 20 and 30 hours but that upkeep on the site only required an hour or two a week.
"It's basically a self-contained Web site," Bideau said. "I validate the parties that are posted and update the drink specials."
Talena Humphrey, general manager of J.B. Stout's Sports Bar and Grill, 721 Wakarusa Drive, said she thought that the opportunity to reach several students with drink specials was great.
"We'd even be willing to pay for it because I think students will really utilize it." Humphrey said.
A majority of the site requires reader contributions and feedback. The do-it-yourself section lists reader-submitted alcoholic drink recipes and drinking games. Browsers can vote on their favorite drinks, which could make the top 25 list.
Corey Snyder, Topeka junior, recently won a contest on the Web site by e-mailing more people about the site than anyone else.
He said he won a bar tab to the Jet Lag Lounge, 610 Florida St., but the deal fell through so he said he might get V.I.P. tickets to Jack Flanigans Bar and Grille, 806 West 24th St.
Snyder said he typically checked the drink specials the night he and his friends went out.
"I think it gives students a good way to communicate," Snyer said.
Snyder said that he also had looked at the drink recipes and responsible drinking section in the site and thought both sites contained helpful information.
Bideau said that building the site and getting recognition were happening slowly. After he distributed flyers almost a month ago, the number of unique hits on the site rose from an average of 1,300 to 1,400 visitors a week to 1,800 visitors a week, he said.
Power bead bracelets encircle many wrists
Power bead bracelets are said to improve mental and physical well-being, heighten intelligence, lend prosperity, wealth and numerous other traits.
By Lindsay Shipman Special to the Kansan
And as one of today's biggest fashion trends, they can be spotted on many University of Kansas students.
Alexis Loya, Kansas City, Kan, freshman, worked in a Kansas City store that sold the bracelets. She said the bracelets were most popular during the holiday season.
"One lady came up to the counter looking for the power beads; she wanted all of them," Loya said. "I think people get too serious about them."
The original idea of the power bead bracelet was created by designer Zoe Metro, according to Self magazine. The bracelets are based on the powers derived from crystals and other stones.
According to Self, Metro came up with the idea while she was watching a man on the subway who was searching through a bag of hundreds of fortune cookies, and she realized how much people needed hope.
Metro originally came up with 10 different bracelets. Rose quartz, which nurtures relationships and romance; tiger's eye, which nurtures creativity; jade, which nurtures success; mother-of-pearl, which attracts money; rock crystal, which nurtures strength; hematite, which wards off bad moods and depres
sion; amethyst, which stimulates intelligence; turquoise, which promotes better health; a wooden praying Buddha, which creates harmony in life; and a wooden Chinese charm, which brings good luck.
Other colors and powers have also been created. Blue cat's eye for happiness, red onyx for stress relief, camelian for PMS and rejuvenation, and many others.
However, many students said they didn't buy into the idea that the bracelets actually had powers.
Elizabeth McCoy, Pittsburgh sophomore, bought a blue bracelet and a green one for $5 at a mall in New York.
"I usually don't go for trendy things,
but I thought they were cute," McCoy said.
"I didn't pick them for what they mean,
just I liked the colors."
Holly Wilson, Nickerson sophomore, also wears power beads. She received an amethyst bracelet as a present. Later, she bought herself a wooden one.
"They're incredibly faddish, but they're kind of nice." Wilson said.
But Vivian Le. Lemex freshman, doesn't like the bracelets at all.
Like McCoy, Wilson doesn't know the power of her bracelets; she just thought they added a nice touch to her wardrobe.
"I think they're a waste of money," she said.
Le said she thought the idea of the power head bracelet was a rinoff.
She said her grandmother, a Buddhist, has had a bracelet similar to the power bead bracelets for years and she used her bracelet for prayer.
New Queers and Allies liaison has big plans for University
FORWARD
By Kimberly Thompson Special to the Kansan
Although David Hardy began his job as the University of Kansas' Lesbian Bisexual Gay and Transgender liaison about a month and a half ago, he already has a long list of projects he wants to complete.
"I'm going to go to town," Hardy said, a 1983 KU graduate with a joint MBA and law degree
One of Hardy's projects involves asking gay alumni for donations. He would like to raise enough money either to find a location for a new Rainbow Center, a place where gay students could meet and have programs, or to start a program in queer studies.

Hardy also would like to hold a conference that would bring all Big 12 student groups similar to KU Queers and Allies to the University. This would be a big project, he said, because it would take two years to get off the ground.
As a University employee, Hardy also is working on updating handouts and the KU Queens and Allies' Web site, revising a course guide on gay-friendly classes, bringing back the Ally Award, and adding an ally addition to The Vanguard, the organization's newsletter.
Mainly, Hardy said, he didn't want to get in Queers and Allies' way. He said he'd rather be a guide on the side.
"This is a position that can assist," he said. "If they want ideas or they want help, I'm here."
Hardy's job was originally a research position, but now his main focus is to be a liaison between Queens and Allies and the University.
"I've got a good student group to work with," he said.
He said that members of Queers and Allies had been working with transgender issues and violence in the queer community.
Gary Bartholomew, Queers and Allies events coordinator and Monroeton, Pa., junior, said Hardy fostered a progressive attitude and seemed very concerned with queer issues at the University.
"I personally expect him to be there to help steer our group toward our goals," he said.
As an undergraduate student at the University, Hardy was the support group chairman and the office manager for the group that is now called Queens and Allies.
After graduating from the University, Hardy worked at the Department of Defense in Leavenworth, did mediation work in Cincinnati and contract
work in Ohio.
Hardy said Lawrence and the University were good places for the organization because the area always had been queer-friendly.
"I've lived in Kansas most of my life," he said. "This is a conservative environment, but it's not the worst. KU is a liberal island in a sea of hostility."

Gore, Bush win nominations
The Associated Press
Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush clinched their presidential nominations in a series of Southern contests last night, securing the delegates they needed to ensure a November matchup that quickly turned contentious.
"It's a choice between keeping prosperity going or going back to the Bush Quayle days of gigantic budget deficits and paralyzed democracy," Gore said.
Bush dismissed the reference to his father's administration, saying, "I'm looking forward, and he's looking backward. There is going to be a contrast, and
the American people will make the choice: Do they want four more years of Clinton-Gore or do they want a reformer who's gotten positive results?"
After vanquishing their chief rivals, Bush and Gore marched across the South virtually unopposed — racking up huge victories in Florida, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.
Republican John McCain and Democrat Bill Bradley abandoned their campaigns last Thursday, ending a primary season that tested the front-runners and spurred record-breaking voter turnout. Alan Keyes remained on GOP ballots but was not a threat to Bush.
First cloned pigs delivered
BLACKSBURG, Va. — The company that cloned Dolly the sheep has produced the first cloned pigs, five little piggies named Millie, Christa, Alexis, Carrel and Dotcom that raise hopes for a new source of transplants for humans.
The Associated Press
"I think this is a big step forward they've made. I applaud it," said Fritz Bach, a physician from Harvard Medical School, who studies genetic and immunological aspects of transplants from animals to people and was not involved in the cloning.
The piglets, delivered by Caesarean section March 5 at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, were produced by a subsidiary of PPL Therapeutics of Edinburgh, Scotland, which nearly four years ago created
Dolly, the world's first clone of an adult mammal.
The five female pigs were cloned from an adult sow named Destiny using a slightly different technique than the one that produced Dolly.
Independent tests of the DNA of the piglets confirmed they were clones of the sow, the company said.
PPL touted the clones as a major step toward achieving genetically altered pigs whose organs and cells could be successfully transplanted in humans. Pigs are physiologically one of the closest animals to humans.
PPL said transplantation of genetically altered pig organs could be tested on
The idea of using animal organs for transplant is controversial because some think illnesses could cross from pigs to humans.
humans in four years and that analysts thought the market for them could be worth $6 billion for solid organs alone. Other uses include cellular therapies such as transplantable cells that produce insulin for treatment of diabetes.
Dave Ayares, PPL's vice president of research, countered that pigs for years had been raised and slaughtered for food
Despite the potential solution for organ shortages, the pig cloning drew criticism from animal activists.
"There's always a reason given to validate these Frankenstein-like experiments," said Lisa Lange, a representative for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. "Animals are not test tubes with tails and they are not commodities to be marketed."
"I don't think our pigs are being mistreated," Ayares said. "They live better than any other pigs."
Florida denies school vouchers
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A judge yesterday threw out the nation's first statewide school voucher system, ruling that Florida's Constitution bars public money from being spent on private education.
Fifty-two children attending private schools in Pensacola under the program can finish the year, but the state can't
"Tax dollars may not be used to send the children of this state to private schools," Smith said.
implement the law in any other way, Circuit Judge L. Ralph Smith Jr. said.
Gov. Jeb Bush, who championed the program, promised to find the money to keep it going despite what happened in court. An appeal is certain.
"We'll raise the money," Bush
said. "This is the first inning of a long drawn out legal battle."
Ron Meyer, an attorney challenging vouchers for a coalition that includes a teachers union, the NAACP, the Florida PTA, the League of Women Voters and a handful of families and educators, claimed victory.
"We won it lock, stock and barrel," he said.
seek the vouchers for private school tuition at taxpayer expense. Voucher values vary based on how much a failing school spends per student but are generally worth $3,000 to $4,000.
Students at Florida schools rated badly by the state can
School vouchers are likely to surface in the presidential race, with Bush's brother, GOP contender George W. Bush, in support of vouchers but Democrat Al Gore flatly opposed.

Putin vows to save industry, economy
The Associated Press
NOGINSK, Russia — Acting President Vladimir Putin,
expected to sweep March 26 elections, has vowed to rescue
Russia's dying industries and revive its economy, but his
plans so far are vague.
This struggling textile town, once a showpiece of the Soviet era, symbolizes the enormous task Putin faces: Residents now struggle to make marginal livings.
International financial organizations want Russia to make more progress on switching to a market economy, but the old ways have strong support Russia.
Officially, unemployment in Russia is running at 12 percent, but the real rate is thought to be much higher.
Economists say sweeping market reforms are vital if the economy ever is going to prosper. A host of problems must be tackled, including a byzantine tax system, a weak legal system that can't enforce contracts, criminal gangs that prey on small business, official corruption and red tape.
In addition, the most valuable companies — particularly lucrative oil and mining enterprises — were grabbed by politically connected insiders in highly dubious privatization deals during the Yeltsin years.
Putin has given conflicting signals by saying he wants to continue market reforms but increase state controls. Aides the acting president still is working on an economic program that might be ready before the election.
Internet spawns porn crimes
FBI fights back budgets millions
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — For five months, Bill Mannering went to work every day and pretended he was a 13-year-old boy.
Spending four to six hours a day on the Internet, the Sacramento County sheriff's detective set himself up to be approached by a man seeking sex with children. The two talked about sex by computer for more than three weeks, and then the man asked the boy to meet him.
"He basically seduced my persona," Mannering said. "He arranged for the whole thing."
But when the man arrived at a Sacramento mall for the meeting on Aug.14, he encountered a 23-year-old female deputy dressed like a boy and was arrested.
Mannerning is part of a growing field of law enforcement officers scanning the Internet for crimes against children.
"The computer has this aura of anonymity," said Randy Aden, supervisory agent of the FBI in Los Angeles. "When you add adolescent children just now discovering their sexuality, exercising their independence ... it's a powder keg of a problem."
The FBI launched Operation Innocent Images in 1995 to investigate the growing number of cases of Internet-related child exploitation, said Angela Bell, an FBI representative in Washington.
"In 1996, we opened 113 cases.
In 1998, we had 698 cases. In
1999, we opened 1,497 cases."
Bell said, FBI agents have
made 515 arrests and won 439 convictions since Operation Innocent started, she said.
The FBI budgeted $10 million, including money to train local police officers and establish regional task forces, Bell said.
About 100 FBI agents work full time on Internet child exploitation cases, and the Innocent Images budget pays the salaries of about 50 officers from local law enforcement agencies, she said.
That includes Mannering's salary for his work on the Sacramento Regional High Tech Crime Task Force, one of three in California that investigates child crimes on the Internet.
The joint task forces consist of local, state and federal agencies and are financed by grants from those three sources and donations.
Taiwan's election rides on island loyalty
The Associated Press
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Although he grew up in Taiwan and is one of three main candidates in Saturday's presidential election, James Soong still feels the need to assure voters he is Taiwanese.
The savvy politician, who was born in China and moved to Taiwan when he was 7 years old, knows that no one can claim to be a mainlander and win.
But now, as China and Taiwan drift farther apart, being Taiwanese is what counts. More voters are insisting that their leaders have their roots on the island.
Recent threats from China to attack Taiwan if it indefinitely delays talks about reunification sparked a battle in the tight election race about which candidate loves Taiwan more and who is most ready to protect it.
Lien Chan of the ruling Nationalist Party was born on the mainland, but he comes from a wealthy family with deep ties to Taiwan. His links to the island haven't been challenged.
Chen Shui-bian, born in a poor town in southern Tainan County,may be the most Taiwanese candidate.
Chen's Democratic Progressive Party has questioned Soong's loyalties and have suggested he would be most likely to cave in to China's demands.
Su Li-chen, owner of an herbal medicine shop, said she did not think any of the five candidates would betray Taiwan.
"We are all Taiwanese, and I will vote for the one who cares and will do the most for the public," she said.

Stories by Jim O'Malley Talk of the town
Lawrence residents use alternative media for public debate about local problems, politics and press
arryville is local farmers' slang for Lawrence. And now it's also the name of a Web site that calls itself "home on the Web for those who love Lawrence."
The name reflects the site's unorthodox take on local issues. Larryville.com represents a new kind of Internet-based alternative press.
Local "smart growth" advocate Larry Kipp posts on the site regularly and says he's often accused of starting it, but he and larryville.com just share the same namesake.
Doug DuBois is the alternative media mogul behind Larryville. The soft-spoken systems engineer and Web master for an aircraft manufacturer founded Larrville in March 1997.
The site posts articles on issues affecting Lawrence, but its most popular feature is the community forum where visitors post messages and carry on conversations about local issues.
DuBois said he was inspired
by the Plumber's Friend, an alternative monthly published from 1981 to 1989 by Tim Miller, professor of religious studies. The Plumber's Friend was always critical of the Lawrence Journal-World and the politics of the Lawrence business community.
"Larryville just kind of happened," DuBois said. "I set up the Web site and had some vague ideas of what to do with it
to expose things the mainstream media wouldn't report, especially growth and development issues all the stuff we've been able to find out through Tim."
DuBois said he saw a synergy between the Plumber's Friend approach and the Web.
"It allows people to be their own publisher and participate in the flow of information," he said.
Tim Miller didn't know he was the inspiration for Larryville. But he said he was glad someone was doing alternative journalism in Lawrence because the main local news media, the Journal-World and Channel 6, are owned by the same company — The World Company L.L.C.
A unique supplement
"Our information flow in this town is incredibly narrow," he said. "The huge issue is story selection. What are we subjected to? Endless Chamber of Commerce press releases that are basically run as news. And people not on the list of approved newsmakers are marginalized."
Judy Billings of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said she had no problem with Larryville as long is it didn't become divisive.
"Some of those people are friends of mine, though we disagree," she said. "We're all in this together to try to make Lawrence a better place. The more opinions raised the better, as long as it isn't counterproductive and just negative."
"I don't follow Larryville because when I get started, I find myself coming up for air two hours later," he said. "And I'm just not computer-oriented. But the Net is clearly increasing the information flow. It's the one bright spot working against centralization of media."
Miller appreciates Larryville but doesn't visit often.
Larryville is open to everyone, DuBois said, but most Larryvillagers are critical of the Journal-World and support controls on economic growth.

"Almost the only ones who use it are the ones who want to keep Lawrence a special place and don't like what they see happening to the city — the sprawl explosion," DuBois said. "Most reasonable people are for managed growth, or reasonable growth, not uncontrolled growth, which has been shaping our city for years."
Kipp is another Friend of Larryville. He said Larryville regulars posted messages chastising people for incivility.
"I don't want to see it degenerate into chaos," he said. "We have to learn to agree and disagree."
City Commissioner Mike Rundle, an inactive Friend of Larryville, said the Internet helped shy Midwesterns communicate. It lets them control the pace of the conversation, he said.
"Larryville is an uncontrolled, unfiltered community communication," he said. "It's like an ongoing public meeting. It's a great way to learn stuff. The downside of that is that just because it's there doesn't mean it's true."
community is much better informed because of Larryville. Larry Kipp agreed.
An unbridled community
So an informal group of 12 to 15 Larryvillagers known as the Friends of Larryville works to keep the site civil. Steve Lopes, one of the Friends of Larryville, said the group met every two weeks. He said it had to walk a fine line between promotion of civility and censorship.
Incivility can be another downside of Internet forums, where people can post messages anonymously or under pseudonyms.
DuBois acknowledged that not everything said on a publicaccess forum like Larryville is true. But overall, he said, the
DuBois said Larryville had changed him from a quiet introvert into a virtual extrovert who communicated electronically with hundreds of neighbors and strangers.
"I think I've had more personal contact with the human race in the last two years than I had in all my previous years combined," he said.
Larryvillagers coined the name "The Largest Ball of the Best Pair of the Journal-World" for this 15-pound-ball made from blue, plastic, newspaper bags. Jim O'Malley/KANSAN
Former regulars on Web site win election, awards
Jones said Larryville had democratized Lawrence politics by creating a kind of interactive journalism.
"I have a sense that it affected the last election," said County Commissioner Charles Jones. "When I knocked on doors and mentioned issues, people often said they heard about it on Larryville."
DuBois said he thought Larryville had a profound effect on the last election. Two larryvillagers — Mike Rundle and David Dunfield were elected.
Some of larryville.com's inhabitants say the new medium is having an effect on local politics.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said larryville.com probably didn't change voters' minds.
"This was the first Lawrence election in which candidates were reaching constituents through Web sites," DuBois said. "The conservative or Chamber of Commerce candidates didn't use the Internet as effectively as their opponents. It exposed the weakness of the Chamber of Commerce's candidate, Brenda McFadden. She won first place in the primary and got knocked down to fourth in the general election. The only factor I know of that could have affected it was Larryville."
City Commissioner Mike Rundle said he was skeptical about the effect of Larryville on the election. He said larryville.com allowed him to clarify the issues, explain his positions and take the edge off reaction to off-the-cuff statements, but didn't make an enormous difference in the campaign. In office, it helps him keep his finger on the pulse of the community. But Larryville and the Internet haven't realized their potential in politics, Rundle said.
"It's unlikely that undecided, uninterested voters — the ones that often decide elections — are cruising the Net, looking for information," he said.
But he said research on electronic politics indicates that the Net helps in fundraising, signing up volunteers and in organizational work more than in moving voters.
Meeting face to face
The contact hasn't all been electronic. Last September, Larryville held its "First Ever Larryville Community Happening" at Clinton Park in Lawrence — the first physical gathering of this virtual community. The meeting featured the first "State of the Web site Address" by Doug DuBois and "Leadership Larryville" awards, a parody of the Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Lawrence leadership development class.
Winners included Larryville regulars and City Commissioners Mike Rundle and David Dunfield.
Dunfield didn't attend, but had a friend read his acceptance speech to the 60 or so larryvillagers who attended.
"As a Leadership Lawrence graduate, my status as a stealth Chambercrat is well known among some Larryvillagers," the speech read. "I am pleased to now become, by virtue of this award, equally unreliable in the minds of my former friends at the Chamber."
The gathering didn't ignore Larryville's other main target, the Lawrence JournalWorld. A Larryville regular brought a 15 pound, 18 inch in diameter ball made from blue plastic bags braided into a rope and rolled together. Larryvillagers called it "The Largest Ball of the Best Part of the JournalWorld."
Ralph Gage, general manager of the Journal-World, said it was hard to come up with a serious reaction to a ball of blue bags. He likened the ball to the Kansas tourist attraction, the largest ball of twine.
"I've been to Cawker City," he said. "Power to the bag-braiders!"

London keeps drive, despite lackluster shooting
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Talk about frustrating.
Kansas guard Marlon London has been struggling with his shot all season. His scoring average is down nearly a point from last year. His shooting percentage is down from 44 percent last year to 37 percent this year. His three-point shooting percentage? Down to an icy 28 percent.
Not exactly the great sophomore season that London had envisioned.
Then during practice on Sunday, London was taking a routine shot. He came down on teammate Eric Chenowith, and London ended up with a twisted left ankle. Now it is
questionable whether London will be able to play on Friday when Kansas faces DePaul in the first
round of the N C A A Tournament.
"I've been struggling through the whole season, and now this." London said, shaking his head. "I don't know...I guess it's just a process this year."
A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.
that becomes even more frustrating when Kansas' first-round opponent is added into the equation.
London: suffered ankle sprain Sunday
London has close ties with the DePaul program. He's friends with several of the DePaul players, and London went to high school in Broadview, Ill. — about 10 miles from the DePaul campus.
On a scale of one to 10, London said the probability that he would play on Friday was about a seven, although he won't be at 100 percent. But no matter the number, London is intent on playing.
"It it's just something that I want to do," London said. "I want to win." London would like nothing more than to play a dominant role in a Kansas win. The 6-foot-4 sophomore emerged late last year as one of Kansas' top reserves during the Big 12 Conference season. London's score average for the
"You can't really salvage the season with one or two games, but you sure can leave a bright spot at the end."
Marlon London
Kansas guard
year was just 4.1 per game, but he scored in double figures in three of four games during a key stretch in the Big 12 season. That included 10 points during a win at Missouri.
"Last year I just took a reckless approach," London said. "I was
young and I didn't know what to expect, so I went in headfirst and it came out pretty good for me."
So why has London landed headfirst this season by averaging only 3.3 points despite playing more minutes? London contributes his struggles to not having as much fun on the court this year, being too unselfish, thinking too much on the court and not finding his shot as often as he would like.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said just about the same thing.
"He's still doing a good job defensively, but I thought he would be more aggressive offensively." Williams said.
That lack of an offensive punch also has London puzzled.
"I expected to do a lot of good
things this year, but those things just didn't happen." London said. "That's something I have to deal with. I still have two years of college basketball left."
London also has at least one more game remaining in his sophomore season. If Kansas beats DePaul, a possible second-round matchup with No.1 seed Duke is on the horizon. Beat Duke, and it might not be too late for the Jayhawks to shake off some of the disappointment from a 23-9 season and a fifth-place finish in the Big 12 standings.

Blank bracket stumps even the psychics
Yeah, my editors want something new. Not the usual garbage of some schmuck sports columnist telling you how the dayhawks are going to lose in the first round. You've seen that column before.
I figure since it's the Kansan's dime, I might as well get you NCAA tournament predictions from a real professional.
Ring. Ring. Thank you for calling the Psychic Friends Hotline. If you'll please hold, our next available psychic will be right with you.
Hello. My name is Madame Pointshave. You have a problem, no?
Hmm. You woulda thought, being psychics and all, they would have been expecting my call. Two minutes pass by and the Kansan is already $12 in the hole before someone talks to me.
Your name is Madame Pointshave. You have a problem, no? Yeah. I need some questions answered about the Big Dance. First of all, Kansas or DePaul. Who should I take?
Paul. You should take Paul to the dance. He is trustworthy and likes you very much.
What? I'm talking college ball here, Madame Pointshave. Kansas vs. DePaul, a No. 8 seed vs. a NO. 9 seed. I worried Quentin Richardson will be too much for the Jayhawks!
Do not fret, Jonesey.
How how'd you know my name?
I know all. Jayhawks by one. Solo home run, bottom of the ninth. Next question.
Uhm... I'm a little bummed out that three Big 12 teams will be playing at virtually the same time. Kansas and Missouri both tip on Friday at 6:40 while Oklahoma State faces Hofstra at 6:55. Which game will be the most entertaining for a Big 12 fan to watch?
Your wife is cheating on you. Next question.

Jayhawk bats cool down in second game
By Amanda Kaschube
Kansas (14-8) won the first of two seven-inning games convincingly, 8-0, against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (12-12) off a strong offensive outing from junior Brandon Smith.
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Two things stood between the Jayhawks and a doubleheader sweep yesterday — a lead-off walk and an error.
But in the second match-up, the 'Hawks lost their defense and hot bats in two crucial innings and lost 3-2.
In the second inning, pitcher Brandon O'Neal, making his first career start, gave up an early walk to the first batter and a base hit to the second. Then center fielder Brian Hoefer had the ball go through his legs, and two runs scored off the error.
"We played one bad inning," coach Bobby Randall said. "We played 14 innings, and they only scored in one, but that one inning beat us."
The runner who reached base off the error, Chad Gilpin, also scored off a late-inning single, and the Islanders took a 3-0 lead that they would not relinquish.
Kansas hits just did not come in the second game.
In the first game, the 'Hawks had nine hits — including three from Smith and two off the bat of junior John Nelson. But in the second game, Kansas produced just three hits.
"We couldn't get things started," Smith said. "We knew we couldn't take them lightly, and we didn't in the first game. We were overmatched in the second game. They played their hearts out."

Freshman swimmer heads to Big Dance
By Brandon Krisztal sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
A Kansas freshman girls swimmer has a guaranteed ticket to the NCAA Championships.
Lyndsay DeVaney will compete in the championship in Indianapolis tomorrow through Saturday. She did not qualify automatically, but her personal best of 16:38.10 — third best in school history — qualified her for the nationals.
the national Junior Carolyn Grevers also will compete in the championship.
DeVaney realized the magnitude of qualifying for the NCAA
meet as a freshman.
"It's really exciting because not many people get a chance like this in their whole career," she said. "And being able to do it as a freshman, knowing that you have more chances throughout your college career is really exciting."
Her 10 event wins this year was second best on the team, just behind freshman Gwen Haley's 12. DeVaney established herself as the fastest swimmer on the team in four different events, the 200., 500., 1000. and 1650-meter freestyle.
Coach Gary Kempf said he was extremely proud of DeVaney but added that she would have her
endurance tested at the competition.
"Lyndsay has just got to be in good shape," he said. "I mean, the mile is one of the toughest events, and I think she looks better now than she did before conference."
She was not selected to compete in the 500-meter freestyle, but the NCAA allows swimmers with provisional times to compete in that event if they are qualified to be at the meet in another event. DeVaney will swim the 500-meter race tomorrow and get a day off before competing in the mile on Saturday.
DeVaney said she would benefit from going to such an elite meet as a freshman regardless of how
she placed.
"Knowing that I've competed will give me confidence for the next three years of my career and give me something to work toward because I don't want to only make it one year." she said.
"Seeing as how I made it my freshman year, it will give incoming freshmen each year something to look forward to and look up to."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 15).
Something that you thought was a sure thing could fall through. Something that you thought was lost forever could become available again. Let love be your guide in March. Don't waste your hard-earned cash in April. Take your time and get all the answers right in May. Speak up and express your love in July. Work interferes with your private time in August. Use skills recently acquired to advance in December. The fog clears in February, revealing a surprise.
Aries; Today is a 6.
Take care, especially around your house. Impetuous behavior could lead to an accident. That will make whatever you're doing take longer. Expressing your love will be easier later, in private. When that opportunity comes, move quickly.
Taurus: Today is an 8.
You may have a couple of disagreements today.
Don't worry. Even if the other person outranks you,
speak up. You may be right. Even if you're not, you're
always thought-provoking. Be patient. Your chances of
success are excellent, although it may take a while.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You love learning, and that's what you should do right now. Postpone travel with friends. You can do that after the bills are paid. Invest in educational materials rather than fun and games, and you'll get further.
Cancer: Today is an 8.
You're doing well — and probably feeling confident. This is good because changes may come to your routine. Don't let them throw you for a loop. Instead, be flexible. Once the dust settles, this new way of doing things could be more profitable.
Leo: Today is a 5.
You're getting stronger, but don't let down your guard. A person who can get into your pocket could make a bad deal, unless you intervene. Don't let your partner or mate shop with money from the joint account, unless you go along.
Virgo: Today is a 7.
A friend can help you understand your mate if you're having trouble. Talk about something that's confused you, and it may clear up. Later, you may want to clean house. As you get rid of clutter, you may get rid of a headache, too.
Libra: Today is a 5.
Scorpio: Today is an 8.
If you feel stuck, don't dismay. You may be facing a problem that you've never had to deal with before. If so, that means you're growing! Instead of feeling foolish, give yourself credit for taking new ground. Don't run away; keep at it.
Sagittarius: Today is a 6.
You love to be prepared, so don't waste a minute. The trouble is you'd rather play than study. Well, here's a word to the wise. There'll be a pop quiz later today or tomorrow, maybe both. The more you know, the further you'll advance. So, focus!
Capricorn: Today is a 7.
You've been on the cutting edge lately. That's good, but take care. Some of the innovations you've been trying may need a little work. It's good to advance, but also watch what you're doing. Mistakes could easily creep in. Double-check!
You'll probably come out of this situation a winner, even though it may not look like that right now Something you've been making do with could break down, and you might finally get something that works better.
Aquarius: Today is a 5.
Volunteer to work overtime or take on a second job. If you scurry now, you could make enough to get something you want. Postpone a meeting and don't have company over, either. By the time you get home, you'll be in the mood to sleep!
Pisces: Today is a 7.
Play first and work later. You'll be working tomor row and the next day, too. Tell your loved ones how much you care about them. You may not get to spend as much time together over the next few days. Do something special now.

NCAA investigates St. John's star players
LAUGHTER LAUGHTER
NEW YORK — While their teammates practiced for Thursday's NCAA tournament game against Northern Arizona, St. John's stars Erick Barkley and Lavor Postell met with an NCAA investigator, according to newspaper reports yesterday.
S. C., next week for the Cleveland Collegiate Championships.
Barkley, suspended twice for a total of three games this season by the NCAA, and Postell were interviewed by Deana Garner, the New York Post said. The newspaper said coach Mike Javis and athletic director Ed Manetta Jr, also were interviewed by Garner.
The Daily News said the two players were asked about their relationships with Rob Johnson, a self-styled "basketball consultant" who says he helps match up high school players with college coaches.
The Daily News said the NCAA official also questioned Barkley about the SAT test he took as a student at Maine Central Institute, a prep school at Pittsfield, Maine.
The Post said both players were questioned about possible improper contact with agents or their representatives.
"There were discussions," Manetta said. "We're hopeful that this will bring to closure the NCAA inquiring."
Barkley first ran into trouble with the NCAA in February when he was suspended for three games for exchanging vehicles with a family friend. After an appeal, that punishment was reduced to two games.
He was reinstated on March 3, but the NCAA ruled that he would have to pay back $3,500 of his $22,000 tuition, which St. John's said Barkley received from Riverside Church, a New York AU program for which he played. He can donate the money to a charity of his choice and has until his eligibility expires to do so.
On Feb. 29, St. John's was forced to declare Barkley ineligible, and he missed that night's victory against Seton Hall. The NCAA requested further information regarding payment of part of Barkley's tuition at Maine Central Institute for the 1997-98 academic year.
Nuggets forward apologizes to team
DENVER — Denver Nuggets forward George McCloud apologized to his teammates for an altercation with Orlando guard Ron Mercer, but he also said he had reasons to engage in the scrap that led to a fine and suspension.

On Sunday, the announced McCloud and Mercer were suspended without pay for one
game and fined $5,000 for their altercation outside Denver's locker room following Orlando's 110-107 win Saturday night in Florida. McCloud missed Monday night's 118-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
"My emotions got the best of me, said McCloud, a 10-year veteran at 32. "I reacted to the situation because I felt I had to stand up for myself and the guys in this locker room. I apologize to my teammates for not thinking about the next game and repercussions."
The altercation occurred after McCloud confronted Mercer about comments he made before the game about McCloud's own criticism of him. McCloud had said Mercer, who was Denver's leading scorer with an 18.3-point average, shot too much while with the Nuggets.

He was expected to plead guilty to two counts of tax fraud yesterday in U.S. District Court, the Justice Department said yesterday.
La Mont also agreed to assist the Justice Department investigation, which is expected to be concluded within a year.
Two others — a businessman and the son of an international Olympic Committee member — have been charged in the scandal in which Salt Lake bid officials gave more than $1 million in cash, gifts and scholarships to IOC members before winning the rights to the 2002 Winter Olympics.
La Mont was charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and to impede and obstruct the IRS. The second count accused him of filing a false tax return for 1997.
That return omitted $40,000 in income he received from the Rome bid committee, court documents said. Rome bid for the 2004 Summer Games but lost to Athens.
"Our internal investigation had not turned up anything about a relationship with Rome. That's a surprise," said USOC representative Mike Moran. In Rome, Italian Olympic Committee representative Massimo Fabricini said he knew nothing about the payment.

The 'Hawks had a chance to plate some runners in the fourth inning, but instead they left two men in scoring position.
Sophomore Ryan Klocksien, who hit .455 last weekend at Texas, scored Kansas' first run off an error, after Smith connected to center field. With the bases loaded and one out, Nelson ripped a long ball to the warning track, but center fielder Bryan Coleman — who earlier bobbed a routine fly ball — ran back to the wall and snared Nelson's shot.

A doctor? Why would a doctor know more about college basketball than me? Confused, I decided that the only thing to was consult my Magic Eight Ball.

Maybe.
Argh. I'll try again. "If Texas can advance to the second round, will they be able to beat Louisiana State?"

Kansas sportwriter
In past NCAA Tournaments, the Big 12 Conference has been represented in number, but not necessarily power. This season, however, the Big 12 is well-represented in both — four teams are ranked in the Top 15 — with six teams invited to the Big Dance, including

Two from Big 12 named as nation's best
The Associated Press
Cincinnati center Kenyon Martin, whose season ended with a broken leg just before the NCAA tournament, was still the leading vote-getter on The Associate Press All-America basketball team Monday.
Iowa State forward Marcus Fizer was second in the balloting, and he and Martin were joined on the first team by Indiana guard A.J. Guyton, Texas center Chris Mihm and Notre Dame forward Trov Murphy.
Martin, just one vote shy of being a unanimous selection, was the Conference USA player of the year after averaging 18.9 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.4 blocked shots. The 6-foot-8 senior broke his leg three minutes into the Bearcats' tournament quarterfinal match-up with St. Louis.
The loss caused Cincinnati, ranked No. 1 at the time, to be selected as a second seed for the NCAA tournament.
"I'm very happy to receive this honor," said Martin, a three-time defensive player of the year in the conference. "It's one that I have to share with my coaches and teammates. They've done so much for me and my career, and they have been so supportive with my injury."
"He is unquestionably the best player in the country," he said. "Aside from the obvious, in terms of his contribution, he brings more intangibles to the floor than anybody in college basketball. As great a player as Kenyon is, he is even a greater person."
Fizer, the Big 12 Conference player of the year and the conference's leading
scorer the last two seasons, led the Cyclones to their first league title since 1945, and is their first All-American since Gary Thompson in 1957.
The 6-8 junior averaged 23.2 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting 57 percent from the field, including 48 percent from 3-point range. He received 57 first-team votes and 313 points.
"I have never been more excited for a player," said Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy. "He certainly deserves to be a first-team All-America."

The 6-1 senior averaged 20.3 points this season while shooting 42 percent from 3-point range. He is Indiana's career leader with 280 3-pointers, and was the first Hoosier to be on the All-America team since Calbert Cheaney in 1993.
Mihm received just 17 first-team votes, but his 200 points were one more than Murphy, who was on 27 first-team ballots.
Mihm, a 7-foot junior, averaged 17.9

points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks while shooting 53 percent for the Longhorns. He is Texas' first All-American since the AP began selecting a team in 1948.
Murphy, the Big East player of the year, was the first player to lead the conference in scoring and rebounding in the same season. The 6-9 sophomore averaged 22.8 points and 10.8 rebounds. This is Notre Dame's first All-American since Adrian Dantley repeated in 1976.
Two players from Duke and Michigan State led the second team.
Duke senior guard Chris Carrawell, who finished one point behind Murphy in the voting, and teammate Shane Battier, a junior forward, were selected to the second team. Michigan State senior guard Mateen Cleaves, a firstteam selection last season and a secondteam pick in 1998 and teammate Morris Peterson, a senior forward, also were on the second team.
The final member of the second team was Fresno State senior guard Courtney Alexander, the nation's leading scorer at 25.3 points per game.
Ohio State senior guard Scoonie Penn was a third-team selection for the second straight season, and he was joined by seniors Pepe Sanchez of Temple, Mark Madsen of Stanford and Eduardo Najera of Oklahoma, and LSU sophomore Stromile Swift.
None of the players selected for the preseason All-America team made the first team.
Coach ready to undertake, turn around K-State program
Ex-Bulls assistant has resume to back Wildcat team, pride
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Jim Wooldridge formally was introduced as the 20th basketball coach yesterday at Kansas State, a once-proud program that tumbled to last place in the Big 12 Conference this season.
"We're going to restore pride in this program." Wooldridge said at a news conference on the court in Bramlage Coliseum, where attendance has fallen since the Wildcats began losing.
"That's one thing I can promise," he said. "We're going to have a prideful program."
Wooldridge said he had followed Kansas State since he was a sixth-grader in Oklahoma City, Okla., and played street basketball with Steve Mitchell, who later went on to play for the Wildcats. He said the long tradition of the program was one of the main reasons he left the NBA to return to college coaching.
Wooldridge said he met for about 10 minutes with members of his new team.
"If we can turn football
"We're going to start over," he said he told the players. "We're going to make this a positive. We're going to be the best we can as a student, as a person, as an athlete. We're going to re-establish our self esteem. We're going to re-establish the K-State ego."
Kansas State President Jon Wefala said he had every confidence that Woodridge could turn around the program.

Before joining the Bulls staff in 1998, Wooldridge helped
— namely Jim Wooldridge?
Absolutely."
Wooldridge, 44, replaces Tom Asbury, who resigned last week after posting an 85-88 record in six seasons. Wooldridge comes to Manhattan from an assistant's post with the Chicago Bulls, where he was considered the staff authority on the triangle offense under coach Tim Flovd.
"Every job he has taken on has been an incredibly difficult challenge, and at every stop the team has exceeded expectations, and the institution has benefited." Floyd said.
turn around programs as coach at Southwest Texas and Louisiana Tech.
The stage is set Wooldridge to work that magic at Kansas State. The Wildcats finished 9-19, last in the Big 12, and have not beaten cross-state rival Kansas in 17 meet
ings. The Jayhawks beat Kansas State 84-60 on Thursday in the Big 12 Tournament.
"It's amazing what energy and work ethic will do." Wooldridge said in the interview. "That's not to say others don't bring the same thing, but I'm coming in from day one with the attitude of getting this done, and we are not going to fail."
Sources said Kansas State offered Wooldridge a five-year deal in the range of $400,000
per year, which would make him one of the lowest-paid coaches in the Big 12.
An Oklahoma City native and 1977 graduate of Louisiana
1977 graduate of Louisiana Tech, Wooldridge also has coaching experience at Central Missouri State.
His career record is 229-
147 overall, and 98-99 as a
vision Coach.
He coached Southwest Texas State to its first NCAA tournament bid and built up the Louisiana Tech program after taking control when it had just gone on NCAA probation. His four-year record there was 52-59, but with players he recruited, the Bulldogs were 40-17 the last two seasons, winning the Sun Belt Conference title in 1999 under coach Keith Richard.
In six seasons at Central Missouri State, Wooldridge took the Mules to three NCAA Division II tournaments.
Teammates, Vols' Catchings top All-America
The Associated Press
Connecticut, No. 1 in the women's rankings, is No. 1 in All-Americans as well.
Connecticut's Shea Ralph and Svetlana Abrosimova became the third pair of teammates to make the first team in The Associated Press All-America selections.
Tennessee had the leading vote-getter for the third straight year. This time: Tamika Catchings.
The versatile trio was joined on the first team by Georgia's Kelly Miller, who finished second in the voting by a national media panel, and Notre Dame's Ruth Riley. All five first-teamers are junior.
Kansas senior Lynn Pride was among the honorable mention nominees.
"The best thing our team has going for us is we have two outstanding players on the wings who make us very difficult to guard," said Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma. "Shea and Svet complement each other on the court and bring out the best in each other. Individually, they are brilliant, but together, there is no better combination."
Yvonne M. Robinson
Ralph was the Big East player of the year and leads a balanced UConn offense at 14.4 points a game and also averages five assists.
Abrimosima, a second-team pick last season, is more fluid and can beat opponents with her shooting, passing, ball handling or rebounding. She averages 13.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists.
Previous teammates on the first队 were Catchings and Chamique Holdscwl last year and Connecticut's Kara Wolters and Jennifer Rizzotti in 1996. The AP All-America team started in the 1994-95 season.
Catchings, the only repeat selection from last year, received 35 first-team votes and 200 total points. Catchings averages 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds.
The right side of the Tennessee box shows Catchings averaging 2.6 assists and 2.8 steals. She has led the Southeastern Conference in steals all season.
Playing alongside her twin, Coco, Miller directs a potent offense at Georgia and leads the Lady Bulldogs in scoring (15.4) and assists (4.7). She gets high marks from coach Andy Landers for doing what the team needs at that moment.
Miller and Catchings were the only players named on all 44 ballots.
The 6-5 Riley, a third team pick last year, has developed into an imposing inside presence. She's fifth nationally in blocks (2.7) and averages 16.2 points while shooting 61 percent.
Abreosimova edged Texas' dynamic senior, Edwina Brown, by six points for the final spot on the first team. Brown carries the load for a young team and averages 21.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists.
Also on the second team were Tennessee's Semeka Randall, Purdue's Katie Douglas, national scoring leader Jackie Stiles of Southwest Missouri State and Iowa State's Stacy Frese.

Spurs' player makes medical history
The Associated Press
Only Sean Elliott knew this was different, unlike anything that's been done in sports. Seven months after his kidney transplant, he was defying medical precedent in a return to the NBA.
"You have to be a little nervous," Elliott said after sinking three-pointers at the San Antonio Spurs' shootaround before their game with the Atlanta Hawks last night. "I'm really trying to kind of relax and remind myself that I've played in a lot of games."
He's been through a lot, even before the kidney trouble. He's had season-

But he persevered. He ended his stint as a TV commentator for the Spurs, knowing he was a player at heart — a player who wanted to rejoin the NBA champions.

"It's unbelievable," teammate Tim Duncan said. "But the way he's worked, to see him out here every day on the floor, that was one of his goals. To see him achieve it is great."
Doctors say the risk of injury to Elliott's new kidney, positioned in his right pelvic area, was minimal and the anti-rejection drugs were not expected to hinder his play.
Coach Gregg Popovich said the team didn't go easy on Elliott once he was given the OK to practice.
"He's obviously a true competitor," Popovich said. "He's thought this through with his family, with his physicians, and he wants this badly."
Jordan holds no magic for the Wizards

WASHINGTON — Phil Jackson and the Chicago Bulls are coming to town. Not together, and on separate nights, but both have drawing power when it comes to one keenly interested spectator — Michael Jordan.
"I should be at both," Jordan said Monday, referring to the Washington Wizards games' against the Los Angeles Lakers tomorrow and the Bulls on Saturday.
That's a change from recent history for the Wizards' new part-owner and basketball president, who hasn't been to a game or a practice since
PETER A. BENZELLE
In New York on Monday to receive the J a c k i e Robinson Foundation's R o b i e Humanitarian Award, Jordan said he still planned to be a regular at the MCI Center, but noted that he would pick

and choose the times.
"I don't want the players to worry about me being over their shoulders," he said. "But it is important to show the team I'm supporting them."
To hear the coach and the players talk, they hardly knew their star boss was missing.
When Jordan signed on, the goodnatured one-liner on everyone's lips was that the best way for Jordan to help the Wizards would be for him to suit up and play.
shouldn't have any bearing on the outcome of games."
"What's going to be the big difference?" point guard Rod Strickland said. "I don't know how many player-personnel directors or owners or whatever he is who goes to every game. That doesn't make a difference. We've got to go out and play when we step between the lines. Michael Jordan being there or not

Royals select new owner
Chairman's bid approved by team
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals selected David Glass, former chairman of Wal-Mart, Inc., as the club's new owner yesterday.
The selection of 64-year-old Glass, chairman of the Royals, must be approved by major league baseball.
The process of finding a new owner for the American League club has been under way since the death of founder Ewing Kauffman in 1993.
Glass' bid was reported to be about $96 million.
He was selected rather than other bidders for the club in what board member Louis W. Smith described as a competitive process with competitive bids. Others thought to have made bids were Miles Prentice, a New York investor who lost out in an attempt to buy the Royals last year, and rum executive Facundo Bacardi.
Denver billionaire Donald Sturm was reported to have made a bid at one point, but the Royals denied that report.
Mike Herman, team president, said the Royals' board looked for a new owner who would keep the team in Kansas City and was offering a fair price. Baseball knowledge, financial
accountability and an understanding of major league baseball were important in the selection.
He said the final agreement must be approved by the baseball owners at their meeting April 18. The deal is expected to be closed on April 30.
Herman thanked everyone who made a bid and said $6 million in stock was a tremendous amount to say.
KC
R
Royals
Prentice's bid was reported to be in the range of $110 million to $115 million, while Bacardi's bid was reported to be in the range of $85 million to $90 million.
"It's a great
baseball town, and more than anything else that I've wanted out of this process, and I know the board felt the same way, is for Kansas City to unite behind the Royals." Glass said.
Team founder Ewing Kauffman spent the last five years of his life trying to find a local owner for the Royals. He died in 1993 leaving a complicated succession plan awaiting approval by the Internal Revenue Service.
The plan specified that all money from the sale would go to Kansas City charities and that the board of directors did not necessarily have to take the highest bid. One provision
was that Kaufman wanted a new owner who would keep the team in Kansas City.
In 1993-94, the economics of baseball were changing to the disadvantage of small-market clubs like the Rovals, and interest was minimal.
Glass, then the chairman of WalMart and a friend of Kauffman, appeared to be the owner-designate until former star George Brett said he was putting together a group of investors. By then, Glass had become chairman of the Royals board and, claiming he was wounded by public criticism of his supposed advantage, said he was no longer interested in buying the team
The bid in November 1998 was awarded to New York Investor Miles Prentice, but baseball owners voted 29-1 last September to table Prentice's $75 million offer, saying baseball economics were too uncertain for small-market teams.
Two months later, Robert DuPuy, baseball's chief legal officer, told the Royals that he had informed Prentice that he would not be approved as the control person of the Royals. He said that decision was based on the opinions of the ownership committee and the baseball commissioner.
The process then was reopened, and Glass re-entered the picture along with Prentice and other new bidders, including Bacardi.
Rams' owner may buy Colorado teams
The Associated Press
DENVER — A Wal-Mart heir who owns part of the St. Louis Rams is interested in buying the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and the Pepsi Center. The Denver Post reported yesterday.
Stan Kroenke, 52, a developer from Columbia, Mo., has visited Denver at least twice this year to look at the teams, which are owned by Ascent Entertainment Group Inc., the newspaper said.
Kroenke would not confirm or deny that he was looking to buy the teams, which are being sold along with other Ascent properties to Liberty Media Corp. for $755 million.
Officials at Liberty, who are most interested in Ascent's hotel cable company, had said they planned to sell the sports teams if they acquired Ascent.
"I think there's a lot of people interested in that deal," Kroenke said. "But anything reported is pure speculation. Negotiations are not going on."
Kroenke is the brother-in-law of Nancy and Bill Laurie, also of Columbia, Mo., who unsuccessfully tried to buy the teams and the Pepsi Center last year. Kroenke's wife, Ann, is Nancy Laurie's sister and the niece of Wal-Mart co-founder Sam Walton.
The Lauries offered $400 million for the two teams and the arena
last year. Although accepted by company officials, the deal was killed by a shareholder lawsuit that said the price was too low.
Later, Ascent accepted a $461 million bid from Denver billionaire Donald Sturm. That deal collapsed in November when he failed to reach an agreement with the city about guarantees that would keep the teams in Denver for the next 25 years.
Kroenke runs two Missouri companies that develop shopping centers and apartment complexes. He owns 40 percent of the Rams and is the team's vice president.
Liberty's offer to buy Ascent expires at midnight March 27 unless extended.

Requests realized in new bus route
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students living at Jefferson Commons next fall will be able to ride the bus to campus, but students living at Boardwalk Apartments may need find an alternate source of transportation.
Since the student population is shifting south, the transportation board decided last week to eliminate the West Sixth Street route that served Boardwalk Apartments, 524 Frontier Road, and add a route to Iowa and 31st streets that will serve Jefferson Commons, 2511 W. 31st St.
"Over the last year we've had a lot of requests that they would like to see a bus stop," said Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator.
Krebs said that the board considered adding south Iowa Street last year, but there were not enough financial resources.
"By getting rid of Sixth Street we had some extra buses we could use," Krebs said.
Most apartments on the eliminated route will be served by other routes. Moreover, Krebs said, Highpointe, 2001 W. Sixth St., and Sunrise Village, 660 Gateway Court, will get more frequent service because of the
But Donna Watson, resident manager at Boardwalk, said that she does not want to see the complex's two stops eliminated.
"In the last two weeks I've already had 16 college students come thinking I was on the bus route," Watson said. "I've already lost
most of those leases."
Watson said her advertisement contracts with publications like apartment guides lasted until 2011, which meant ads saying the complex has a bus stop were now inaccurate.
"My college population isn't that high, but when you're in a town like Lawrence, if you lose three leases, that's three leases you lose," she said. "The students that I do have here like the benefit of riding the bus."
Watson said her residents could pick up a bus on the Crestline route across the street, but she couldn't picture them crossing four lanes of traffic.
Students at Jefferson Commons will need only to walk to a covered bus shelter located at the front of the complex.
"We had a lot of things to offer but a bus route, and that made a big difference," said Kristin Harrelson, who works in resident relations for the complex. "People had contacted us in the past and said they were interested, but because we didn't have a bus route, they couldn't live here."
The bus route has helped the complex retain many current residents.
"I think it's nice we're not near the campus, but they want the convenience of getting to the campus without dealing with parking and traffic." she said.
Craig Phelan, Olathe junior, said when he moved into Jefferson Commons he thought the complex already had a route, but that it won't affect him now.
"I think I'd rather drive," Phelan said. "I can leave whenever I need to."

Students say 'see ya' to classes
Spring break means shorter lines, no class
By Ryan Blethen
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Campus will be eerily quiet today and tomorrow.
Every year as spring break nears, students begin their exodus to warm, exotic destinations or to their hometowns before break officially begins. And every Thursday and Friday before spring break, class attendance declines, food lines at the Unions dwindle and available parking spots multiply.
Don Kearns, director of parking services, said that as of yesterday he had not noticed fewer cars in the University's parking lots, but he expected that to change soon.
"It will be thinned out Thursday and Friday," he said.
Mark Lohrenz, assistant manager of cash operations for food services at the Kansas Union, said he also expected business to slow today and tomorrow.
"As a rule, generally the Friday before spring break is significantly slower." he said.
Michael Saunder, San Antonio,
Texas, sophomore, said he would
probably skip his two Friday classes.
Saunder, who had a test yesterday,
said he thought professors should
make Friday classes before spring
break optional.
"In the college atmosphere, one day isn't real critical," he said.
Some professors have given up trying to make students stay around for Friday classes. Chris Crandall, associate professor of psychology, said he had given his students the option of attending his General Psychology class.
"We have a quiz on the Wednesday before spring break," he said. "On the Friday, we have a topic of class choice. Routinely what they vote for is the day off."
Even though he gives his students the option, he said he did not approve of them skipping.
"You get a pretty good show-up on quiz days," Crandall said. "On that Fridav you get a pretty poor showing."
Douglas Denney, professor of psychology, said he planned on teaching his Statistics in Psychological Research class as usual tomorrow, and he said he expected his students to attend.
"I never anticipate people to never show up." he said.
Denney chooses not to schedule tests around the break, though.
"I probably wouldn't have a test on the Friday before spring break or the Monday after," he said. "I'm mindful of when that make the syllabus."
But some professors choose to schedule tests before the break.
Taylor Gill, Wichita senior, said she would like to leave early but could not because she had a test tomorrow. Still, she said she would prefer a test tomorrow rather than when she returned.
"The thing I think is worse is when they schedule a test right after spring break," she said.
Kelley Fried, Overland Park sophomore, said she had one class that had a midterm scheduled for the Tuesday after break but that the professor moved it to April 4 because so many people in the class complained.
"You just want to kind of get away from everything for a week," she said.

— or beer goggles — as part of a spring break safety promotion organized by the KU Public Safety
Office and Watkins Memorial Health Center.
One pair of goggles simulated the vision of someone with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent, which is the legal limit to drive, said Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office. The other pair represented the vision of a person who had a 17 percent blood alcohol level.
Once students had the goggles on, Mallen asked them to execute some of the same actions police requested during field sobriety tests on the street.

Amtrak train derails south of Topeka
Twenty-nine injured in morning wreck
The Associated Press
CARBONDALE — One person was in critical condition yesterday after Amtrak's Southwest Chief passenger train derailed, injuring 29 passengers, authorities said.
Many of the 140 passengers and 15 crew members were taken to a local elementary school after 16 of the 27 train cars traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles derailed around 2:10 a.m.
The passengers were served breakfast by the school while they waited in the gymnasium for buses to take them to a hotel in Topeka.
Amtrak spokeswoman Debbie Hare said five passenger cars, including two sleepers, flipped on their sides and one car derailed but remained upright.
Ten mail and express cars also
derailed.
The cause of the derailment was being investigated, said Hare from Amtrak's Chicago office.
Kathy Lambert, 53, of Stroh, Ind. was in critical condition at Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center, said hospital spokeswoman Cindy Greenwood.
Lambert, a school bus driver, was traveling with her husband to Albuquerque, N.M., where he planned to compete in a bowling tournament.
Other passengers were treated and released at Stormont and two other Toeeka hospitals for minor injuries.
Passengers expressed a mixture of

fright and calm during the derailment that occurred alongside a cornfield southwest of Carbondale — 15 miles south of Topeka.
"I was scared," said Jerilyn Kemmerer, 13, of Overland Park. "I was afraid we weren't going to make it. The window was broken and I could feel the gravel coming in."
Clutching a pair of stuffed bears, she recalled being in a sleeper car when the accident happened. She was traveling with her brother and parents to Flagstaff, Ariz., to visit her grandmother.
Hare said the train came out of a gentle curve where the maximum authorized speed is 60 mph, and was on straight track when the derailment occurred. She said the maximum speed on the straight track is 79
"The people were calm because the situation stabilized very quickly," he said. "It just gently laid on its side. As soon as the cars were on the ground, I felt it was a case of getting everybody out."
Passenger Ed Sulik, 53, of Stratford, Conn., said he felt the sleeper car start to rumble and tip over. He was en route to Los Angeles for a nephew's wedding.

mph, but said she didn't know how fast the train was traveling.
At first light, work crews began clearing the tracks during sporadic rainfall but had no time estimate as to when they would finish.
The National Transportation Safety Board sent an investigative team to the site. They were joined by investigators from Amtrak, the Federal Railroad Administration and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, which owns the tracks.
Rescue crews working in darkness had all passengers removed within four hours, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.
Helicopters from the patrol and Topeka Police flew overhead focusing search lights on the cars.
Richard Gray, 51, of Aurora, N.Y., said he and his mother, Dorothy Gray, 92, were both asleep when he was awakened by an unnatural sound.
"My first thought was, it happened, we derailed," said Gray, a librarian at Cornell University. "But nobody panicked. You keep your head together and try to get out."

School of Law teams place in competitions
The School of Law's international moot court team will compete in a competition April 3-8 in Washington, D.C.
The international team advanced to this competition after finishing first for its arguments about human rights and drug testing in underdeveloped countries in February at the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition in St. Louis.
"It is a great opportunity for members of the team, since traditionally, law school is an individual experience," said John Head, law school professor. "This gives them the opportunity to be part of a of a widely regarded worldwide competition which involves students from all over the world."
Members of the international team are Krista Goering, Lawrence first-year law student; Thomas Kenny, Leawood second-year law student; Matthew Flannigan, St. Mary second-year law student; Mick Valinauskas, Vilnius, Lithuania, first-year law student; and Stephen Brave, Greenville, Ill., third-year law student.

Ambler to be honored with NASPA awards
Sindy Greenfield
David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, will receive two awards for student affairs administration next week
The Foundation for the National Association of Student Personnel Administration named him a "Pillar of the Profession."
Current and former colleagues supported this nomination because of his involvement in program development of the Division of Student Affairs and his mentoring of graduate students and staff in the student affairs programs.
"My staff here nominated me without me knowing, so it was a little bit of a surprise." Ambler said.
He said when he was on the board of the NASPA, he helped create the award and to receive the award was quite a surprise.
He also will receive the Fred Turner Award for Outstanding Service from the NASPA at the organization's national conference.
Ambler has been the University's vice chancellor of student affairs since 1977, and he has served on different task forces and boards for the NASPA.

McCain to endorse political committee
NATION
WASHINGTON — John McCain's advisers are preparing to establish a political action committee that would allow the failed Republican presidential contender to campaign for other candidates this
year and lay the groundwork for his own future, which could include another White House race.
McCain: preparing to support other candidates
McCain is expected to give the final go-ahead on the project when he returns to work next week, the advisers said yesterday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
They also said the Arizona senator is still in no hurry to endorse George W. Bush.
McCain is now mulling his next step, as he prepares to return to the Senate on Monday.
Advisers say the most likely option is the formation of a political action committee that would accept limited, regulated "hard money" donations — as opposed to the more freeweening "soft money" contributions that McCain is trying to ban.
The committee, already dubbed "Straight Talk America," would pay for McCain's expenses, which aides expect to include:
A speaking tour that would take him to college campuses and other sites to promote campaign finance reform
Campaign stops for Republican candidates in congressional and statewide races

10-year-old charged with killing his father
DOVER TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A 10year-old boy has been charged with stabbing his father to death after the man goaded the boy and handed him a kitchen knife in the heat of an argument, authorities said.
The two argued about a missing container of chocolate cake frosting that Andrew Hamis, 38, had accused the boy of taking.
"The discussion became heated and emotional. At that point, Mr. Harms picked up a knife and placed it in the juvenile's hand and stated that if he hated him that much, then he wanted him to stab him," said Ocean County Prosecutor E. David Millard.
The boy, a fourth grader whose name was not released, has been charged with manslaughter and illegal possession of a weapon. He was being held without bail yesterday in the county's juvenile detention center.

He said simply standing still was difficult for some students, much less touching the tip of their finger to a pen he held up. Walking in a straight line and giving each other high fives became challenging as well.
"It's a very good simulation of that level of intoxication," Mailen said.
Mailen said that after students had fun with the goggles, he asked them to consider the ramifications of driving with that kind of impairment.
Although everyone's tolerance varies, Mailen said that an average person might have a blood alcohol level of .08 percent after consuming three or four drinks in one or two hours.
The Kansas Highway Patrol's roll-over simulator, which is a model cab of a pickup truck mounted on mechanical equipment that spins it around, also made an appearance at the safety promotion.
Robert Baker, Kansas Highway Patrol trooper, said highways would be busy during spring break, which increased the probability of accidents.
He said the purpose of the simulator was to get students to buckle-up by showing them what their bodies could go through in a car accident.
Baker said the chances of someone surviving a car accident were 60 percent higher if they were wearing a shoulder-lap belt. With only a lap belt, chances of survival increase by 30 to 35 percent, he said.
"The dummy does all the browbeating in there," Baker said. "I have to have the windows (up) on that because it'll throw the dummy clear out the window."
Representatives from Watkins were also on hand to give away health promotion kits.
Health educator Aimee Foppe said the kits contained literature with tips on how to stay safe and healthy on vacation, local emergency phone numbers and national hot lines. The kits also included a few Band-Aids, antibiotic ointment, Advil tablets and a condom

Islamic holiday part of religion's five pillars
Saira Sufi, Topeka junior, will spend this morning celebrating Hajj.
Sufi will participate in Eid prayers as part of remembering and celebrating Hajj, the Islamic holiday commemorating the sacrifice of Isaac, the son of Abraham.
Hajj is part of the five pillars of Islam, the other four being a declaration of faith, five daily prayers, alms giving, and fasting during Ramadan.
Riza Demirier, Lawrence graduate student, said the celebration of Haji was on equal standing with the Christian holidays of Easter and Christmas, and most Muslims in the United States celebrate Haji similarly to those holidays.
In countries such as Saudi Arabia, Islamic people buy and sacrifice lambs to symbolize the sacrifice and trust of Abraham.
It is the most dramatic and developed
of all Muslim rituals. Demirer said.
Fatima Harrak, assistant professor of religious studies, said Islam meant "suffering."
"Sacrifice is the ultimate surrender to God, since God commanded sacrifice of Abraham's son," she said.
Islam requires a pilgrimage to Mecca
Islam in a lifetime. It is around this time
that the pilgrimages begin, but because
traveling to Mecca is now costly, it is
not demanded as much as it used to be,
Harrak said.
Sufi said she had been to Mecca on a smaller pilgrimage, called Umrah. Umrah can be done at anytime and the religious activities are different from a traditional pilgrimage. Her parents have made the pilgrimage to Mecca, and she hopes to make the same journey at some point in her life.
Harrak said Hajji was a time to get together with family and attend prayer services.
Local services will begin at 8 a.m. today at the Islamic Center of Lawrence, 1917 Naismith Drive.
The celebration will continue for about a week. The Center will offer special festivities for children Saturday.
Professor challenges intellectual property policy with amendment
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University's intellectual property policy will be the subject of a discussion session at 3:30 p.m. today at the Regents Room in Strong Hall.
The focus of the discussion will be an amendment proposed by Russ Ostermann, associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering.
The amendment would change the policy with regards to ownership of copyrightable software. Currently, the university's intellectual property policy states that the University
retains ownership of all copyrightable software created by faculty using the University's equipment
Ostermann's proposal would distinguish between software created as a result of University-sponsored research and software created using University equipment but not part of University-sponsored research. He said some software created could fall under the category of independent scholarly work.
"If the software is created as a normal expression of scholarly work unrelated to sponsored research, then it seems to me ownership should rest with the creator." Ostermann said.
He said the copyrightable software policy conflicted with other aspects of the intellectual property policy.
"If you look at the policy, all other forms of scholarly or artistic work 'notwithstanding the use of University resources' belong to the creator," Ostermann said. "Software may be the normal scholarly or artistic output of many faculty."
Ostermann said the rules governing the creation of software by faculty should mirror those governing the creation of a novel by an English professor or a piece of music created by a professor of music. In those situations, even if the work was created using the university's equipment,
However, Provost David Shulenburger said that he could not accept the amendment because it would cause the University's policy to be at odds with the Board of Regents' policy. The Regents' policy states that software created using equipment owned by a Regents institution is owned by that institution.
the creator retains the rights to their work.
"We are not free to change the Regents' policy in our campus policy." Shulenburger said.
"We can only interpret it and adapt it to local conditions," he said. "Russ Ostermann's proposal would cause ownership of software to be in question only if it resulted from sponsored research. That contradicts the Regents' policy, so the change cannot be accepted."
Ed Meyen, professor of special education and chair of the committee that drafted the University's policy, said though Ostermann's amendment was inconsistent with the language of the Regents policy, it was in the spirit of the policy as a whole.

Restricting speech not the answer to preventing bigotry, intolerance
A bill to amend the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities was introduced to a Student Senate standing committee last week. The bill would have instituted a new University of Kansas policy, banning the use of "hate" words that attack race or sexual orientation.
The proposal was withdrawn by its sponsors during committee discussion. However, it will be resubmitted later this semester.
The bill would give students who thought they had been verbally attacked the chance to press charges and seek disciplinary action through the University.
The use of racial epithets or words attacking someone's sexual orientation shouldn't be condoned or overlooked. The bill's sponsors are correct in seeking a solution to racism, bigotry and intolerance.
Potential Student Senate bill would curb free expression, set dangerous precedent
But banning the use of any words, thus restricting free speech, is not the appropriate solution. Free speech of any kind is something that no legislative body has the jurisdiction to restrict. Free speech is a cornerstone of the U.S. Constitution. It is the basis for democratic institutions and maintaining the concept of equal rights and opportunities in a country with the largest number of minorities in the world
It is true that, just like everything else that has such enormous power, free speech potentially can be used in a negative way and allow certain people to use "hate" words and discriminate against or insult fellow humans.
Curbing free speech, however, would set an extremely dangerous precedent. We cannot respond to bigotry and intolerance by trying to restrict and suppress people. Restriction and suppression are the practices we are seeking to eliminate.
Bigotry and intolerance can be cured only with education and tolerance. The right to free speech is the core of American society. This right can by no means be disputed or adjusted.

University should cover film costs
Students who take courses in the film department must pay an extra $25 for a film voucher. In these classes, students are saddled with the responsibility of keeping a department fiscally afloat. These funds are necessary. However, the responsibility for financing departments lies with the University of Kansas and should not be passed on to the students.
The money raised from film pass sales is supposed to pay for the rental of films and defray the costs of equipment maintenance. The theater and film department needs this money, and the voucher is one of the methods available for an under-financed department that needs to keep itself in the black
Why doesn't the department have adequate funding? One reason may be
What if courses required photocopying passes to defray the cost of class handouts?
the perceived lack of importance of the theater and film discipline. In terms of film, it may be difficult to appreciate the importance of studying elements of popular culture. On the other hand, programs in engineering and business, for example, have a more easily identifiable application.
But liberal arts programs are vital. They link the University to contemporary issues. More importantly, they link these issues with an academic venue so that they can be considered in a scholarly manner. Still, liberal studies
such as film are forced to turn to outside sources such as the film pass for funds.
The film pass highlights a potentially abusive system. If the University is not willing to wholeheartedly finance these programs, students will have an increasing financial burden. A film pass might seem innocuous enough, but soon, photocopying vouchers might be required to defray the costs of handouts for almost any class.
When a department must charge additional fees across the board for its classes, chances are that they are not getting enough financial support from the University. The best solution for any ancillary fees is for the University to reevaluate its budgeting priorities, rather than let the burden unfairly fall to students.

the idea that integrating the capabilities of the Internet makes it imperative for journalists to know how to present news through many different media, such as print, radio and broadcast. Convergence is a nice way of saying journalism students will learn three times as many skills in roughly the same amount of time.
The new curriculum's downfall is that the process involved little student input and forgets the basics
Modernized curriculum not good for journalism
change has ramifications beyond the School of Journalism, and it's going to affect you, too.
Perspective
Professors say they relied on recent graduates' advice for how to better prepare students to enter the work force. But Ann Marchand, a KU graduate who now works at The Washington Post and will soon be moving to washingtonpost.com, said that employers were not interested in her Internet experience. She said Internet companies believed that anyone could learn how to put up a Web site.
Journism, and it's going to anger you too. Even with the added skills, professors have said that the quality won't suffer because they still will hold students to the same high standards in writing and editing. But that's impossible. Without having class time to spend refining those skills, standards will have to lower because professors won't even have time to teach advanced skills. That's akin to buying a car with all the bells and whistles but leaving out the engine.
"They were looking for someone who had news judgment and copy-editing skills as well as familiarity with the processes of a daily paper," Marchand said. "One online class would've helped, but anything beyond that might have cost valuable time spent refining my editing abilities. I know this situation isn't unique to me; I was also recruited by AOL, and people there said that they look first and foremost for people with news skills."
The new curriculum was announced in December after a series of meetings among University of Kansas professors. The only formal student involvement was when Dean Jimmy Gentry was interviewed at the University. He said he had met with more than 100 students in small groups. Professors also have said that they had asked students for their views. But this did not ensure that student views would be heard in the meetings. Even Gentry admitted that a case could be made for more student involvement in the process. For a school that teaches the practice of the First Amendment, it is disheartening that it didn't allow a formal voice to the most heavily vested constituents — students.
KU alumnus, Aaron Knop, who now works at MSNBC.com, said he thought editing and writing skills were more important than having skills in different media. He said that where he works, employees still specialized.
Student concerns also can be ignored because the students who know enough about the old curriculum to protest changes to it will be graduating in May or will only be here one more year. Professors only have to wait a year to receive a
One plus of the new curriculum is that students can be five credit hours into the journalism school before they have to decide on a specialization. Many prerequisites were scrapped because all students will have the requirement necessary to take most classes because of the five beginning credit hours. The most advanced classes now are mandatory with the new system.
The new curriculum is based on convergence-
new batch of students who don't know how good the old system was.
For example, the old system required only newspaper majors to take Reporting II. Now all news/information students have to take an advanced course to graduate, which means they have to work for some type of student publication.
The new curriculum affects more than just journalism students. By teaching more than double the number of skills in the same amount of time, the most vital parts of journalism — refinement in writing, editing and reporting — will suffer. And the students taking this new curriculum will work for campus media without being prepared. This will cause the overall quality, including the Kansan's, to suffer. Expect more mistakes, less accuracy and poorer quality writing in the future because of the new curriculum.

Fiery economic growth stokes rich, burns poor
Despite rapid economic growth, low unemployment and low inflation, economic inequality is rampant in America. While politicians and mainstream news outlets focus on the economic status quo — touting global supremacy and higher market share as ultimate virtues
Times are undoubtedly good, though. The budget is balanced. Unemployment is down, as is crime. For the first time in history, this nation has no major rival around the globe — economically, politically or even ideologically. We are, indisputably, No. 1.
zation, United for a Fair Economy (www.ufenet.org), offers a reality check, demystifying the hyperbolic rhetoric of the pundits-cum-propagandists: "The record-breaking economic boom of the 1900s has left Americans more polarized and debt-ridden." A rising tide "has lifted the yachts to tremendous heights, but many Americans are still bailing out their boats after decades of sinking real wages." Ten years ago, there were 66 billionaires and 31.5 million people living below the poverty line in the United States. Today, the United States boasts 268 billionaires and 34.5 million people living below the official poverty line — about $13,000 for a three-person family.
But a Boston-based organi
millions of Americans are denied health care benefits, food stamps and adequate housing to balance the budget and fill the coffers of transnational corporations.
Clearly, the economic power structure means incredible wealth for a few and untold poverty for many. "The top 1 percent of households has more wealth than the entire bottom 95 percent combined," the UFE reports. "Since 1977, the top 1 percent has doubled its share of the nation's wealth to 40 percent."
Ben
Embry
guest columnist
opinion@kansan.com
Critics claim that these figures do not fully reflect the improvement in the standard of living of Americans across the board. A fair point.
According to a recent article in U.S. News and World Report, each person in the average household today has 814 square feet of living space compared with 478 square feet in 1970. And, 62 percent
DONALD DUFFEY
In the Declaration of Independence, life is enshrined as one of the three "inmanable rights" that flow to Americans by virtue of having been "created equal." The pervasive economic disparity in the midst of great wealth surely violates that right and mocks the most basic democratic ideals. As a result, we have to look seriously at measures to mitigate inequality on all fronts. The wealth tax is such a measure.
According to economist Edward Wolff, a Swiss wealth tax model applied to the United States would not require great sacrifices by the American people, most of whom would pay virtually nothing. In fact, the first $100,000 of net worth would be exempt, eliminating two-thirds of all households from having to pay any wealth tax. If such a tax were in effect, it would raise about $40 billion this year that could be used to pay for reforming welfare or health care, investing in education or technical innovation or replacing existing taxes that cripple the middle class.
Embry is a Lawrence graduate student in journalism.
of all households own two or more vehicles compared with 29 percent back then. However, despite the dramatic growth in consumption, the gap in wealth and assets is even larger than the income gap, with the richest 1 percent of Americans owning almost 40 percent of the nation's wealth, and the poorest 80 percent owning 16 percent.
Although many forces contribute to the increasing economic disparity between income groups—including rapid economic and technological change—in the final analysis, the major difficulty, as suggested by Daniel Bell in The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism, is twofold: American society lacks both the willingness to make sacrifices for some public good and a political philosophy that justifies such civic sacrifices. The question, then, is whether we can arrive at a social compact that seeks to protect liberty, reward achievement and enhance the social good.
Contrary to Republican philosophy, economic disparity will not be rectified by tax cuts for the upper class or corporate welfare programs. Indeed, those are the sort of policies that helped cause the gap to grow in the first place. The gap is unhealthy and unfair. It is a problem that, ultimately, can be solved by a wealth tax similar to those in other developed nations.

Students to build homes during spring break
By Jessie Mever
By Jessie Meyer writer@kansas.com Kansan staff writer
Nine University of Kansas students opted to trade in their weeklong spring break to help build houses for people in need.
The students will head to South Carolina on Saturday morning to help with a Habitat for Humanity housing project.
The trip is organized through Habitat for Humanity International. It is not affiliated with the University of Kansas' Alternative Spring
Break program.
"Our goal is to help with the mission and to have a good time," said Brian Tongier, Lawrence senior. "Hopefully we'll make some real progress." Tongier, Intern at the Lawrence Habitat branch and coordinator of the trip, said students from colleges around the country participated in this program at sites nationwide.
The KU volunteers and about 30 students from Hamline University, Minneapolis, Minn., and together they will work on the Marion County project.
Tongier said the site was about 45 minutes inland from Myrtle Beach in Marion City.
Anna Allen, Lawrence sophomore and one of the volunteers, said she chose to go to South Carolina because it would be like nothing she had done before.
"I thought it would be a good experience," she said. "I wanted to get some community service in while we had a break."
Allen said this break appealed to her because it offered interaction with the people she would be helping and presented
an opportunity to make a
"I hadn't considered any other
alternative spring breaks until
this one," Allen said.
an opportunity to meet others.
"I am a rookie," Ke said. "But they said no experience was necessary."
Victoria Ke, Wichita senior, said she was excited to help build the houses, in part to help those in need and also because she had never done construction work before.
Different kinds of spring breaks are becoming more and more popular, and there have been an overabundance of people signing up for the trip this year, Tongier said.
"We actually had too many people sign up this year," he said. "We reserved five spots and had 17 people sign up. But the director said we could bring all nine that have committed."
Tongier said they were going to drive down to South Carolina this Saturday and would return on Sunday, March 26. The overall cost per student will be about $150, and the Habitat affiliate will provide some meals.
Spinners gyrate the calories away
By Mike Hoffman
By Mike Hoffman
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
A spinning class is not exactly what the name implies. No, the HSES 108 class is not a bunch of people spinning around until they get dizzy and fall to the ground.
Welcome to spinning, an intense cardiovascular exercise done on a stationary bike. Spinning was created by worldclass long distance cyclist Johnny Goldberg, according to The Fitness Partner Connection. Classes are now being offered in almost every state and in 30 countries worldwide.
And now, two sections are offered through the health, sport, and exercise science department at the University of Kansas this semester.
A typical spinning class starts with a warm-up, then a 40-minute moderate to high intensity cardiovascular workout, and ends with a cool-down and stretching.
During a session, the instructor may ask participants to close their eyes and imagine riding down a dirt road and then tell them to increase or decrease their resistance according to their mental image.
In a 40-minute session, spinners can burn up to 500 calories, the FPC said.
Sara Deshong, Minneapolis,
Minn., freshman, has tried spinning
and enjoyed her experience.
"You sweat a lot, and it's a great way to get in shape," she said. "It's also fun."
Melissa Davis, Wichita junior and spinning instructor at Total Body and Fitness in Olathe, said the exercise has a growing following.
"Unlike other cardiovascular exercises, spinning builds up endurance as well as strength," said Davis, who was certified by Goldberg.
When Davis teaches, she uses some techniques such as turning off the lights, using a disco ball and blaring music get her spinners revved up.
"You sweat a lot, and it's a great way to get in shape. It's also fun."

"Many people like it because you don't have to do a lot of thinking and focusing on technique like step aerobics," she said.
Davis' class started out with seven people and has since doubled — evidence of the sport's increasing popularity.
"It's called spinning because of the way the flywheel operates," said Jennifer Larson, Lawrence graduate student and spinning instructor at the University. "Many people like it better than running, because there's so much less impact."
And as for the strange name, there's a simple explanation.

"This discovery reinvents our definition of what the primate order is all about and how it arose," said Richard Stucky, curator at the Denver Museum of Natural History.
Scientists unearth tiny primate species
The fossilized foot bones, each about the size of a grain of rice, were sifted from tons of muddy rubbish at a limestone mine in eastern China.
Anthropologists have discovered fossils from two species of tiny, thumb-sized primates smaller than any other known primate on the family tree leading to monkeys, apes and humans.

In a separate article in the journal Nature, the group reported more fossils from a previously discovered third primate called Eosimias centennius. Now they have ankle bones, which they said supported their claim that Eosimias is an early ancestor of humans.
Eosimias and the two new species lived together about the time when lower primates split from the higher
At three ounces, Eosimias was larger than the two tiny species.
The smaller of the two new species might have been below Eosimias on the evolutionary branch, a common ancestor of higher primates and some lower primates, said Chris Beard of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The larger one — weighing half an ounce — appears to be a higher primate, perhaps in the same family as Eosimias.
The tiny species are the smallest of 12-16 species of little primates found at the Chinese mine.

KANSAS
Track team starts outdoor season
By Sarah Warren sports @kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
Rain or shine, the Kansas track and field team is finally outside.
today marks the beginning of the outdoor season for the Jayhawks when they take to the track for the Emporia State University Spring Twilight Invitational.
"It's just nice to be outdoors," said Eniola Ajaiyj, junior team captain. "Most of us haven't competed for three weeks now, so it's great just to get back into it."
For most of the team, the indoor season concluded after the Big 12 Championships Feb. 25 and Feb. 26 in Ames, Iowa. Since then, only six Jayhawks have competed, in either the NCAA Qualifier or the NCAA Championships, or both.
The Twilight Invitational is designed to be an easy transition between the indoor and outdoor seasons.
"It's a real low-key, non-stressful meet," coach Gary Schwartz said. "It's just to get

people in the mode for outdoors."
Helping the Jayhawks get back into the swing of things are Kansas State, Nebraska, Wichita State and host Emporia State.
"This is like a whole new team," Alaji said. "We had so many people injured indoors and some athletes that only compete outdoors, so like half our team was out."

Football team squeezes in last practice
By Allan Davis sports@kanson.com Kanson sportswriter
Spring break — beaches, parties,
drinking beer — appeals to football
players just as it appeals to average
students.
The difference is, football players can't skip their Thursday engagements and duck out early. They might want to get away on spring break, but they have one more practice today before they can leave.
After today's practice, the team will adiourn for spring

break and return to practice March 28. After that, they will have four sessions a week for the next three weeks, culminating in the game at 1 p.m. April 15 in Memorial Stadium.
The Jayhawks also will have a road game — a scrimmage at 11 a.m. April 1 at Shaunne Heights High School in Tecumseh, just east of Topeka. In addition to helping the team become more comfortable playing away from home, the game has another benefit.
"It's a good opportunity for public relations — to get out in different spots and encourage people to come out and support the Jayhawks," coach Terry Allen said.
In bad weather, the team practices indoors in Anschutz Sports Pavilion. A full-size, artificial-turf field is presently on top of the track in Anschutz.
Playing on artificial turf has been the biggest adjustment junior college transfer Ryan Atkinson, a defensive lineman, had to make after coming here.

Thought of first-round rival leaves 'Hawks' minds ruffled
By Shown Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kanson sportswriter
Listen to the Jayhawks talk about their first-round opponent in the NCAA Tournament, and there's no doubt that there's cause for concern.
Eighth-seeded Kansas takes on the ninth-seeded DePaul Blue Demons tomorrow at 6:40 p.m. in the East Regional in Winston-Salem, N.C., and the Jayhawks have a pretty good idea what kind of team awaits them.
"They're extremely athletic and a very good rebounding team," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "They have pretty good depth, too."
"They're a heck of a team." said Nick Collison, Kansas's freshman forward. "Obviously DePaul is going to be tough."
"I think when you play a team that you're familiar with and is one that is well recognized, you tend to get up for those games more," junior Kenny Gregory said. "It helps a little to know who you're playing."
"I thought we had a real good game against them in Lawrence a year ago," DePaul coach Pat Kennedy said. "I think we're a better basketball team than we were a year ago. There's no question about that."
The Jayhawks, 23-9 overall,
know DePauff fairly well. And
that's where the cause for
concern comes into play.
The teams faced off last year in Allen Fieldhouse. The Blue Demons put a pretty good scare into the 'Hawks before Kansas was eventually able to pull away for the 74-66 victory.
The DePaul offense starts with playmaker Quentin

Richardson, a 6-foot-7 sophomore forward who leads the Blues demons with 16.9 points a game and 10.1 rebounds a game.
Richardson, a presseason All-American, has led the Blue Demons in scoring in 15 of 32 games this season, including a season-high of 32 points against UNC-Charlotte.

"The thing that sticks in my mind is that he is really tough and a great rebounder." Gregory said. "We had him in foul trouble last year so he didn't play that much, but he still ended up with around 15 points and 16 rebounds."
Kansas' Kenny Gregory tries to grab a rebound in last year's win against DePaul in Lawrence. The Jayhawks will take on DePaul tomorrow in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Kansan file photo.
"Quentin Richardson is a young man who I think is sensational," Williams said. Along with Richardson, the Blue Demons feature Bobby Simmons, a 6-foot-7 sophomore swingman who is second on the team in scoring and rebounds. Then there's Paul McPherson, a 6-foot-4 guard who averages in double-figures, and freshman

center Steven Hunter, who leads the team with 55 blocks.
Put them together, and DePaul has compiled a 21-11 record overall.
"I think we're playing sound, defensively," said Kennedy, who is in his third year as
coach of the Blue Demons. "I've been concerned about our offense. We've just not shot the ball down the stretch. And yet, we've probably had sparts at times during the season of playing as well as anybody in the country."

Men's golf team finishes in second place at tournament
Kansan sportswriter
Up and down are two words that best describe the Kansas men's golf team's performance earlier this week at the 15th Annual Louisiana Classics Invitational in Lafayette, La.
ond behind Oklahoma State.
In addition to the second place finish, coach Ross Randall said the team was able to pick up important district points by finishing ahead of teams like Colorado, Tulsa and Oklahoma. The Jayhawks are now sec-
YOUNG
After a sub-par outing two weeks ago in California, the Jayhawks were able to chip through some putting problems and capture second place, seven strokes behind Arizona.
"Beating these teams now helps us down the road when it comes time for Regions," Randall said. "The top teams in each district earn spots in the Regional competition in May. That's our goal, and the higher up we finish the better parings we'll get come tournament time."
"It was kind of different from the California tournament where my ball striking was bad, and my chipping and putting was real good." Vermeer said. "This week it was my putting that really caused all my problems."
Even with all the success the Jayhawks had this week, for junior Ryan Vermeer, finishing in a three-way tie for sixth place and shooting a 219 was disappointing.
Vermeer was not the only Jayhawk having difficulty this week. Randall said that senior Jake Istnick and junior Andy Stewart both had their share of problems, even though they finished in a three-way tie for sixth place with Vermeer at 219.
"Jake made a couple of bad swings here and there that caused him a chance at the all-around title, and Andy was either playing really good at times or really bad." Randall said. "Anytime you have a chance to win a tournament, you would like to do it. We just need to get a little more consistent, and everything else will take care of itself."
The 'Hawks' second place finish was not the only good news to come out of the bayou this week — the tournament also marked the return of junior Brad Davis.
"The course conditions and weather were ideal for someone with my injuries," Davis said. "The warm weather helped my back, and the lack of hills worked to my advantage."
Davis was returning from a broken left heel and a compressed vertebrae he suffered during a fall last May. Even though his score didn't count toward the overall team score, Davis said it gave him a chance to see how his body would hold up through 54 holes of golf, without hurting the team.
Whether Davis will return to play his senior season for the Jayhawks is still up in the air.
Sports Columnist
Even after shooting 225 and finishing in a tie for 26th place, Davis said that neither he nor Randall had made a decision.

Tournament a great reason to play hooky
I'm going to give you a little piece of friendly advice.
Skip the rest of your classes today.
Oh, and don't go to class tomorrow,
either...
Now that you're on campus and went to at least one class, go home at 11:20. That's when the first game of the NCAA men's basketball tournament begins — with Kentucky versus St. Bonaventure.
This is, without a doubt, the best time of the year. When else can you sit at home, drink beer and watch basketball for about 12 hours straight for four days in a row? This is so great!
Besides, this tournament is going to be a good one. Most likely, a team will win the championship that hasn't won it in a long time. No more Duke domination — they won't even make the Final Four with Temple and Oklahoma State in their regional. North Carolina? They'll be lucky to make it past Mizzou in the first round. If they do, they can't match up with Stanford.
Oh, let me talk about Stanford. I hate Stanford. Sure, they're No. 1 in the South, but who did they play? Arizona? Oh yeah, Arizona beat them twice. The Pac-10 is so weak. Stanford loses in the Sweet 16.
So Buckeyes to the Final Four. On a side note, the Jayhawks beat them earlier in the year and, since Kansas will lose to DePaul in the first round, it will make Coach Williams feel good to have beaten a Final Four team.
Ohio State is the team to beat in the South. They were in the Final Four last year, and have lots of experience. Plus, Cincinnati is number two in the South, and without Kenyon Martin — who broke his leg last week in the Conference USA tournament — they will lose to Tulsa in the second round.
Arizona is No. 1 in the West. This is a talented Arizona team, and will go far if center Loren Woods can play. Either way, though, they are too young to make a serious title run. They'll lose to St. John's in the Elite Eight. Erick Barkley and Co. are too tough.
There's only one No. 1 seed this year that will make the Final Four: Michigan State. These guys have the number one power ranking in the tournament, according to ESPN.com, and have tournament experience. Mateen Cleaves and his Spartans were in the Final Four last year, and they know how to win. Plus, they played one of the toughest schedules in the country this year.
I think the Spartans will go, but I had to pick Iowa State in my bracket to make the Final Four out of the Midwest. You gotta love the Cyclones. They're peaking right now, and Marcus Fizer is the best player in the nation after the loss of Martin. I think it would be great for the Big 12 Conference if Iowa State could make some noise in the tournament.
Upsets to look for in this year's madness: Dayton over Purdue, Seton Hall over Oregon, Utah State over Connecticut. These three spoilers have lots of heart, and their opponents aren't playing their best right now. Besides, who knew Oregon was good? I saw Dayton play earlier in the year, and they looked good. If I remember right, they had some hellacious dunks. And UConn, well, Khalid El-Amin, I think your chub is catching up with you. You proved this year that Richard Hamilton was the reason you won the title last year. See ya.
So there you have it. Tournament in a nutshell. But you know, it doesn't really matter who wins, as long as it isn't Duke or UCLA. The funny thing about this year's bracket is that it's pretty cut and dry. Don't look for too many major upsets because the capability just doesn't seem to be there.
There are seven teams who have legitimate chances of pulling this thing off Michigan State and Iowa State in the Midwest; Ohio State in the South; Arizona and St. John's in the West; and Temple — I hate to say it — Duke in the East. And hey, watch out for Oklahoma State in the East and Oklahoma in the West, too.
As for the Jayhawks, well, just wait 'till next year.

BOXING
Boxer awaits last bout to defend final title
DETROIT — Thomas "Hit Man" Hearns' latest retirement is being delayed
Heams was scheduled to fight two-time European champion Crawford Ashley on March 25 at Joe Louis Arena in his final bout. But Ashley tore his rotator cuff and will be unable to fight, promoters said yesterday.
Hearns (59-4-1 with 46 knockouts) will defend his IBO cruiserweight title in a 12-round bout. Hearns, 41, won the title last April in England by outpointing Nate Miller.
Ashley (39-9-1, 27 knockouts) of England will be replaced by another opponent when Heares steps into the ring April 8, Kathleen Kennedy of Olympia Entertainment said. The new opponent is not yet known.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL Players investigations won't affect games
TUCSON, Ariz. — Erick Barkley and Lavor Postell will play for St. John's in the NCAA tournament this weekend despite investigations into their eligibility
"There is nothing pending right now in terms of their eligibility," a person close to the investigation told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Unless new accusations anse, St. John's the second seed in the West Regional, will not have to play the tournament without two of its best players, the source said. Barkley, the leading scorer, has been suspended twice already this season for a total of three games for violating the NCAA's rules on amateurism.
Coach Mike Jarvis hopes the questions surrounding Barkley's eligibility for St. John's first-round game tonight against 15th-seeded Northern Arizona won't affect the team
"All I can tell them is just take care of today and try not to look over their shoulder." Jarvis said.
Barkley, suspended minutes before a game against Seton Hall on Feb. 29, and Postell reportedly met with NCAA investigators Monday to discuss their relationship with Rob Johnson, a "basketball consultant" who said he helped match high school players with college coaches.
Arizona center not able to play in tournament
SALT LAKE CITY — Arizona's Loren Woods, who missed the final six games of the regular season with an injured back, will not play in the NCAA tournament.
After reviewing tests done on Woods on Tuesday, Arizona physicians said yesterday that he would not be cleared to play.
The Wildcats, the No. 1 seed in the West Regional, play Jackson State in the first round Thursday night.
Woods injured his back against Washington State Feb. 12, forcing him to miss the six games. He has a compression injury to the disc that involves the bone.

center, will make a full recovery, school officials said.
Craig Thompson, chairman of the NCAA selection committee, said Sunday that
the committee was told that Woods would not play in the tournament. However, the committee still made Arizona the top seed in the West.
LAS VEGAS — Some things never change at UNLV, where the euphoria of getting back into the NCAA tournament is being tempered by a new batch of NCAA charges that include allegations that a booster paid several thousand dollars to Lamar Odom.
Controversy surrounds UNLV's tourney return
UMLV
The NCAA has put UNLV on notice that it could face harsher sanctions under the so-called repeat violator rule if it is found guilty of the latest charges.
UNLV was told last week that it is the target of an official inquiry, and was given until May 10 to respond to the allegations. The charges will be reviewed by the NCAA Committee on Infractions when it meets June 16-18 in Lake Tahoe.
CBS says 'open-field' will draw hoops viewers
UNLV athletic director Charles Cavagniaro said there was no evidence UNLV coach Bill Bayno or his assistants knew of the payments, and promised the university will conduct a full investigation.
NEW YORK — Oh. mv.
NEW YORK - ON. MY.
Dick Enberg's return to calling NCAA men's basketball tournament games after an 18-year break is about the only change CBS has in store for ratings-challenged March Madness, which opens today with first-round play.
Last year's ratings were the lowest the tournament has produced since CBS started showing the Final Four in 1982. That didn't stop CBS from agreeing in November to pay $6 billion for a new 11-year pact, which takes effect in 2003.
But the network isn't trying to spice up the coverage with split screens — an ill-received experiment two years ago — or by copying the NBA's troubled efforts to make coaches wear microphones.
"We don't mike players or coaches in the NCAA, and we don't anticipate doing that," CBS Sports president Sean McManus said yesterday. "We've never pushed for it."
Instead, the network is counting on a wide-open field, with no clear favorite, to help generate interest.
CBS will try to balance letting viewers stay with a regional contest — even in a blowout — to satisfy rabid home fans, with cutting to close games, no matter who is playing, to keep hoops junkies happy.

Royals pleased with new owner
HAINES CITY, Fla. — Although they dared not anything publicly, the people who run the Kansas City Royals were almost all rooting for former Wal-Mart CEO David Glass to get the team.
The Associated Press
As chairman of the Royals board since the death of team founder Ewing Kauffman, Glass had proven supportive and easy to work for. The expected news Tuesday that Glass had been awarded the team for $66 million was particularly pleasing to manager Tony Muser.
"I think it's great," Muser said. "It's something we've wanted here for a long, long time. I think he's a good man. He showed that he's a lover of baseball, and he's committed to baseball in Kansas City."
General manager Herk Robinson also has found Glass easy to work for.
"David is a delightful guy, and very, very smart," Robinson said several weeks ago, before the board made Glass the winner in bidding against rum heir Facundo Bacardi and New York lawyer Miles Prentice.
"I think if you talked to the people at Wal-Mart, that would tell you the same thing," Robinson said. "David Glass is a very smart man, a very good man."
Muser's loyalty to Glass was cemented in 1998, his first year as manager, after AL president Gene Budig suspended him for eight days following a brawl between the Royals and the Anahem Angels.
The Royals played in Houston the following week and Glass asked for a breakfast meeting with his field manager.
"He came to my room." Muser said.
"We had coffee. He told me he didn't
feel I had done anything wrong, that I supported the baseball team in a professional manner, and that the suspension should not damage my professionalism. I appreciated that and still do. I always will."
As a rookie manager on a team that was losing, Muser naturally felt the unusually harsh eight-game suspension might get him in trouble with his bosses. Glass assured him that was not the case.
"I appreciated that because I was kind of out there on an island all by myself." Muser said.
Although Glass is not experienced in the nuances of baseball, Muser said Glass knew the game.
"I haven't had a ton of conversations with him, but he knows exactly what's going on," Muser said. "He knows other teams. He knows other players. He loves people who work hard and people who play hard."
Team ready to go outside
Continued from page 7A
This new team has made some adjustments, too.
"You have to get used to the elements," Ajayi said. "Indoors the curves are tighter and the track is harder on your shins. Outdoors is more comfortable, and we get fewer injuries because the track is softer."
The track may be softer, but there is still a long season ahead of the team.
"It's hard to keep going because we've been running non-stop since September," Ajayi said. "A lot of us are still dealing with the change of the coaches, and it's hard because we're all tired, but we're ready for outdoors."
The change of coaches Ajayi referred to was the athletic department's decision not to renew the contracts of coach Schwartz and his staff for next year.
Track notes
Kansas' multi-event athletes, including freshmen Shane Weiszbrod and Megan Wray, sophomore Dorian Jordan and juniors Andy Morris and Ashley Pyle, will travel to Texas A&M to compete in the heptathlon and decathlon March 25.
Defensive newcomers get acquainted on turf
Continued from page 7A
"Being from Southern California, I've never seen turf before," Atkinson said. "I never stepped on turf until I came here."
After practicing on the artificial turf, Atkinson rolled down one of his socks and revealed a nasty-looking rug burn on his shin.
"It'll get you," he said. "But other than that, it's a lot faster, so that's nice."
Atkinson is listed on the depth chart as a nose tackle but has experience at all defensive line positions.
"In junior college I played defensive end, I played nose guard, defensive tackle — played every position on d-line, basically," he said.
The defensive line returns only one letterman, nose tackle Nate Dwyer, although in addition to Atkinson, there are several redshirt freshmen linemen participating in
"Being from Southern California, I've never seen turf before."

"We haven't put the full pads on yet, so it's hard to make an evaluation on those guys," Allen said. "We should know a little bit more after Thursday."
On the injury front, receivers Eric Patterson and Termaire Fulton, who both had minor surgery in February, are expected to be able to return to full drills after spring break. Redshirt freshman tight end Adrian Jones, who was injured in an automobile accident, will meet with his doctors during spring break and perhaps get clearance to practice.

Medical students to leave rotations for residencies
By Warisa Chulindra

Kansas staff writer
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — More than 200 people eagerly waited for Cynthia Crowder to open the envelope. She tore it open, read the paper, raised her arms and velled, "Internal medicine — Tulane."
the audience burst into cheers and applause as Crowder, a Merriam fourth-year medical student, danced back to her seat.
seat.
At 11 a.m. yesterday, medical schools across the country released the results of the National Resident Matching Program.
The KU Medical Center had a ceremony for its 125 fourth-year medical students at a packed Wahl East Auditorium on the Med Center campus.
It was a life-changing moment for the students, who will graduate in two months. They learned which type of medicine they would practice and where they would do their residencies.
Some students came to the ceremony after their rotations, and several missed rotations to attend the ceremony and the celebration afterward.
Amy Durall, Overland Park fourth-year medical student, and Michael Farris, Oswego fourth-year medical student, said they stopped worrying after they found out they had been matched to programs Monday.
"We're both excited because neither of us know where we're going," Farris said. "This marks the end of medical school. That's pretty significant."
Durall said it would be difficult for her and Farris so their separate ways.
and it is going to be "We've been friends since the first day," she said. "It'll be kind of hard moving away."
The results were in sealed envelopes with the students' names on them. Each student opened an envelope and announced the results, which were met with cheers and applause of fellow classmates, friends and families.

For many Americans, St. Patrick's Day is an excuse to celebrate regardless of whether they are of Irish heritage. The Irish, however, observe the holiday more sedately — similar to United States' celebration of Thanksgiving. Photo illustration by Craig Bennett/KANSAN
Green beer blurs tradition
U.S. version of Irish holiday is more 'cheesy'
By Ryan Blethen
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Across America today, scores of people will plant their backsides on bar stools and hoist pints of green beer and Guinness in celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Green hair, green beer and even green rivers will commemorate the luck of the Irish.
Edd McCracken, Ballywater, Northern Ireland, Junior, said the American version of St. Patrick's Day was different from the celebration in Ireland.
"The whole Americanization of St. Patrick's Day is really cheesy," he said.
school and families come together.
Aine Francis-Stack, Lawrence graduate student, said in her home country of Ireland the holiday was a celebration of Irish national identity — most people get the day off of work or
"It's like Thanksgiving in Ireland," she said.
Ireland. St. Patrick's Day has its roots in a fifth-century Catholic monk who, as a young child, was enslaved in Ireland. He returned to Ireland as St. Patrick to do missionary work and tried to convert the island to Christianity.
Lisa Bitel, associate professor of history who teaches an Irish culture class this semester, said the holiday grew in the 19th and 20th centuries when Ireland was struggling for independence from England. The Irish, looking for anything distinctively Irish, found St. Patrick as the embodiment of the culture.
St. Patrick's Day crossed the ocean to America when Irish immigrants fled their country because of the potato famine and for political reasons in the

19th and 20th centuries.
The holiday gained further momentum because powerful Irish Americans used the holiday to advance Irish causes, Bitel said.
When Bitel did her graduate work in Ireland, she and her Irish friends would go to the parades and laugh at the Americans who flock to Ireland for the holiday. She said having green beer and leprechauns plastered everywhere did not happen in Ireland.
"It's a symbol of American
excess." Bitel said.
Francis-Stack agreed. She said she thought Americans had commercialized the holiday.
"It's a lot more kitchy here," she said.
Jerry Neverve, owner of the Red Lyon 'tavern — an Irish tavern at 944 Massachusetts St. — said St. Patrick's Day was a day for everybody to celebrate, not just people of Irish descent.
"Everybody else jumps on the bandwagon," he said. "Everybody is Irish on St. Patrick's Day."
For today's celebration,
McCraken said he was consider-
ing charging people to hang
out with a real Irishman; rates
were not available yesterday.
But mostly, he planned to nurse
some beer.
"I'm going to find the best pint of Guinness and enjoy it for a couple of hours," he said.
FUN FACTS
St. Patrick was not Irish. He was a British Celt who first was enslaved in Ireland when he was a young boy and then later was a missionary to the country.
St. Patrick was not necessarily the first missionary to Ireland.
No one knows his birth or death date. March 17 traditionally is considered to be one of the two, but there is no documentation.
The only documents about St. Patrick are his Confession and a letter he wrote to Coroticus.
- Contrary to popular belief, there never were snakes, or other reptiles, in Ireland for St. Patrick to chase out.
Patrick predates the Roman Catholic Church, and he was considered a saint before the Roman church created its own canon of stains.

Clinton asks for delay in his disbarment case
WASHINGTON — President Clinton yesterday sought a delay until after he leaves office in proceedings to revoke his law license because of his alleged lies in the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Clinton: Under fire for alleged lies in Lewinsky matter
Clinton is using a clause in Arkansas court rules that permits "an extension of reasonable length" of time in answering the allegations. Yesterday was the deadline for Clinton to respond to the complaints, which were
served on him a month ago.
The president signaled his intention to keep his law license on Feb. 29 when he paid $100 in yearly dues to remain a member in good standing of the Arkansas Bar.
The first complaint seeking to revoke Clinton's law license in
Arkansas was filed on Sept. 15, 1998, by a conservative group, the Southeastern Legal Foundation.
A second complaint arose automatically under state law when U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright found Clinton in contempt of court on April 12, 1999, for lying about his sexual relationship with Lewinsky.
Vermont House passes bill allowing gay unions
MONTFELIER, Vt. — The Vermont House approved historic legislation yesterday allowing gays to form "civil unions" that would carry many of the benefits — and burdens — of marriage.
The bill takes Vermont to the very edge of recognizing gay marriage. If it becomes law, Vermont will have gone further than any other state in recognizing same-sex couples.
The legislation has the support of Democratic Gov. Howard Dean and also is expected to win Senate approval.
"This certainly is groundbreaking," said Peg Byron of the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, a gay advocacy group. "I think it really sets a moral as well as a legislative example for the rest of the country."
Gay couples who form civil unions would be entitled to some 300 state benefits or privileges available to married couples.
Congress and more than 30 states have passed laws denying recognition to same-sex "marriages" performed in other states, but some suggest those state laws might not apply to same-sex "civil unions" performed in Vermont.
Boy's arm reattached after tiger bites it off
HOUSTON — Surgeons reattached a 3-year-old boy's arm yesterday after it was bitten off by his uncle's pet Bengal tiger when the child reached into the animal's cage.
Surgeon Mark H. Henry said that Jayton Tidwell would never have full use of the limb but that he should be able to live a normal life.
Jayton, whose arm was ripped off Wednesday between the shoulder and elbow, underwent nine hours of surgery at Memorial Hermann Children's Hospital. He was in serious condition yesterday and should be hospitalized at least a week, Henry said.
Doctors worried that bacteria from the tiger's mouth might infect the wound or that blood clotting could complicate the reattachment.
emergency medical team took it to the hospital.
The tiger was kept in the back yard of the boy's uncle, Larry Tidwell. It attacked when the child stuck his arm through a gap in its chain-link cage.
While Tidwell's wife and a neighbor coaxed the tiger to one side of the cage, Tidwell's son retrieved the arm they packed the limb in ice, and an
Richard Bradley, the attending physician, said Jayton was conscious when he arrived. "He was actually doing surprisingly well," Bradley said. "He looked like a typical 3-year-old coming in on an ambulance: scared, anxious, a little tearful."
Split with Islamic forces hurting Chechen rebels
WORLD
ALKHAZUROVO, Russia — Exhausted Chechen rebel fighters fleeing Russian forces say a split with Islamic fundamentalists wrecked the insurgents' strategy of continuing the war from bases in the mountains.
The haggard fighters, many suffering from frostbite and hunger, say that Wahhabis, members of a fundamentalist sect who were supposed to prepare bases in the mountains for the rebels, betrayed them.
The Wahhabis had been deployed in the mountains since December. After the fall in February of the Chechen capital, Grozny, the Wahhabi fighters fled, leaving the retreating rebels as prey for Russian jets and artillery, rebel commanders and fighters said.
One rebel fighter who used only his first name, Zubair, said his battered unit retreating from Grozyne reached the mountains and met a group of Wahhabis on a tractor.
"We asked them to put our wounded comrades on a trailer, but they refused," Zubair said. "They don't deserve the name of humans."
German student shoots school official, himself
ROSENHEIM, Germany — A 16 year-old shot the director of his boarding school yesterday after being suspended for rebellious behavior, then turned the large caliber pistol on himself, police said.
The ninth grader was sent home Wednesday, and a test showed he had used drugs. He returned to the school yesterday, encountered the school director and pumped several bullets into him, then fired several times at his own head, the police said.
Both the student and the 57-year-old director, whose names were not made public, suffered life-threatening head wounds and were taken to hospitals by helicopter, authorities said.
The shooting is just the latest in a string of school violence in Germany, shocking a nation unaccustomed to such violent crimes and prompting calls for tightening already strict gun laws.
The student had been in a computer science class taught by the school director. It was not clear how the teen-ager obtained the gun.

Council debates intellectual property policy
by ryan Devlin
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A discussion session intended to resolve issues concerning the intellectual property policy ended yesterday with a decision to draft a letter to the Board of Regents outlining perceived discrepancies in the Regents policy.
A proposed amendment to the campus intellectual property policy by Russ Ostermann, associate professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, had been the subject of a dispute concerning whether it conflicted with the Regents policy.
The Regents policy states that software created by faculty using equipment owned by a Regents institution is owned by the institution and not the creator.
The standing campus policy, drafted by a committee chaired by Ed Meyen, professor of special education, reflects the Regents policy.
The amendment proposed by Ostermann to University Council would distinguisht between software created as part of university-sponsored research and that which is not. Under the amendment, ownership of software created on university equipment but not part of sponsored research would rest with the creator.
Provost David Shulenburger pointed out to Council that the amendment would conflict with the Regents policy, which the campus policy cannot do. The discussion session was proposed by Senate Executive Committee Chairman Jim Carothers.
Participants in the meeting, which included members of University Senate Executive Committee, University Council and the Provost, decided to draft a letter to the Board of Regents drawing attention to the discrepancy between the way the policy treats software as opposed to other academic or scholarly works.
Ostermann said that software should be treated the same way other works, such as novels or pieces of music, are treated. In those cases, ownership is retained by the faculty member.
"If you use a pen owned by the University to write a novel, then the University doesn't own the novel," Ostermann said. "A PC is like a pencil. Why should soft
ware be any different?"
Shulenburger said that he was present at the Regents' discussions of their policy, and he thought it was not the intent to treat software differently.
The participants decided to act on a recommendation by Shulenburger to draft a letter to the Regents stating that software should be treated as other scholarly and academic works are treated, and which would ask the board to change its policy. Ostermann agreed to draft the letter.
"I think the intent was to treat inventions and software in the same manner, but the way the policy is written it does not say that," he said.
Carothers said the decision to address the Regents directly would eliminate the need for the policy to go through University Council another time.
"This is what I would have done informally four months ago if I knew we could do it that way," he said, adding that delaying the process of voting on the campus policy was necessary. "We definitely need to know what the Regents' intent was."

Progress on boiler upgrades slow
By Erin McDaniel Special to the Kansas
Insufficient funds and manpower are slowing a project to upgrade old central heating equipment at the University of Kansas, staff at the Central Power Plant said.
Since last spring, Facilities Operations staff has been making repairs and updating equipment at the plant to correct problems that could, if not fixed, leave much of campus without heat this winter. A new boiler arrived yesterday.
George Cone, assistant director of the plant, said improvements had been difficult because the plant was severely low on manpower.
"It's like sending an aircraft carrier to war 40 percent manned," he said. "I'm surprised how much work can get done by so few. It's like a bunch of Marines out there attacking a beach."
Mike Burke, power plant supervisor, agreed, blaming the lack of manpower on the State of Kansas' recent budget cuts and on higher wages in Missouri.
"It's a tough time right now, and they still want more belt-tightening," he said. "It's a real challenge when you're trying to make things built in 1927 work right in the year 2000."
Cone said the power plant had spent more money in the last eight months to recondition the plant than it had on total expenses in the previous 12 months.
"When we started, we were worried because we were running on needles and pins down here," he said. "It lacked maintenance; it lacked caring; it lacked knowledge. But we're going to rectify all of those."
Cone said there had been several small boiler explosions,but a large explosion could cause severe damage and cut heat to the University.
"If this work hadn't been done, students would be very cold this winter," he said. "The power plant
was not in good shape. It has been neglected, and now is the time to pick it up. Ten to 15 years down the road, the plant is going to be in good shape."
Cone said many of the tests and improvements were overdue. Boller tubes were repaired to fix leaks that he said had been there for years. A valve safety check, which is supposed to be performed every five years, was done for the first time since 1981. Two new condensate tanks were installed because the previous tanks were rotted and filled with holes, he said.
with notes he said.
Mike Richardson, director of Facilities Operations, said there recently had been some boiler explosions in the Kansas City area.
"We want to make sure nothing like that happens here because that can be absolutely catastrophic," he said.
he said.
Only the two newest boilers, both 1961 vintages, are being used. Cone said this was not sufficient. The third boiler still needs repairs and a safety check on its combustion system. The power plant is functioning at 75 percent capacity.
"This has been a tough winter with only two boilers," he said. "There have been some cold mornings where we've hit the max. If we were to lose another one, we'd be in serious trouble."
Plant personnel began reconditioning the plant's three boilers after commencement last May. They cleaned the boilers with special machines, replaced worn-out parts and performed tests to verify the boilers' safety.
Cone said the boiler project was a collaboration between the plant and other divisions of Facilities Operations.
"It's been quite a team effort here at F.O." he said. "Plumbers, power plant personnel, electricians, the instrument shop — they've given nothing but 100 percent. I'm very, very proud of these people."

The project would not have gone as smoothly. Cone said, without Richardson's leadership.

"Mike has been the most supportive, team-ori-
ented leader I've come across," he said. "He really
cares about his plant. He's been our A-No. 1 sup-
porter."

Some students were disappointed with the results. However, most had been placed at one of their choices. Those who were married to another medical student had to wait until both had their envelopes.
Laura Zeiger, senior coordinator of medical affairs at the Med Center, broke down the results. She said the school typically had a large number of graduates placed in primary care residencies. This year, she said, 49 percent were placed in these programs. More students were placed in anesthesiology residencies this year than in previous years, Zeiger said.
al residency before moving on to a speciality.
Twenty-eight students will move twice.
The audience gave Ragnar Peterson, Lindsborg fourth-year medical student, a standing ovation during his turn. Peterson was released from the hospital Wednesday night. Two weeks ago, he broke his back when he fell 25 feet while rock climbing.
Peterson's classmates chose him to carry the school flag down Campanile hill during commencement in May. He began physical therapy yesterday and said he hoped to be walking again by commencement.
The students will finish their rotations and elective classes by the end of April. Residencies will begin in late June or early July.
The University of Kansas School of Medicine Wichita had a similar ceremony and celebration yesterday for its 44 fourth-year medical students.

Centralized advising needed at all levels
Many professors don't have the time or knowledge to advise
---
An admissions recruiting video for the University of Kansas shows a student and his adviser walking side by side. After watching this clip, one would'
believe that most KU students have close relationships with their advisers. But many students who attend the University know that this is not the case.
Advisory professors are often torn between devoting time to their classes and giving time to those who they advise. Because advising is not their primary focus, they are often unprepared to answer questions regarding requirements in other departments. Some departments do not even offer a choice of advisers. All of these factors make the process of choosing classes more confusing than it has to be.
The Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center fills an important role for underclassmen, but once they are turned loose to find their own advisers, they might run into trouble. To improve this situation, the University needs to create a centralized department to advise all students.
This would allow professors to devote more time to their own students. The division of time between advising students at the end of the semester and meeting with students from classes about final exams often is extremely time-consuming. The result is that professors are not sufficiently
prepared to advise students. Having professional advisers would allow professors to do their jobs without neglecting other students' advising needs.
Professors frequently are not knowledgeable about requirements outside of their own departments and are not sure about graduation requirements. This increases the probability that students will take unnecessary classes and spend more time and money than necessary.
Furthermore, because switching majors and even schools within the University is a common practice, we need advisers with extensive knowledge about each department. When a student decides to make a change, he or she should be able to draw on an adviser's understanding of what classes will transfer. The knowledge that a well-informed adviser provides may be the deciding factor in a student's decision to change majors.
Another flaw is that several departments have only one appointed adviser. This means that students are denied the opportunity to find advisers who understand their academic goals. A pool of knowledgeable advisers would provide options for
A centralized department of advising would eliminate the possibility of having misinformed students because it would be every adviser's primary job to understand requirements and options.

Park won't quite be Disney, really just Wizard of Ooze
The scene is Kansas City's Kaufman Stadium. The once directionless Royals have just won the 2002 World Series. In the camera-filled locker room, a champagne-soaked Johnny Damon, the hero of the series, turns to a camera.
"Johnny Damon, you've just won the World Series, what are you going to do next?"
Pinggong Seems a little strange, doesn't it? If developers get their way though, the old Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant, a 9,000-acre area southwest of DeSoto, will be known as the Wonderful World of Oz.

Skip Palmer, the president of Oz Entertainment and a former Disney executive, wants to spend more than $600 million, some of it from the State of Kansas, to build the new resort and theme park. In fact, every time
Seth Hoffman opinion editor opinion@kansan.com
Palmer talks about the planned park and resort, he calls it a project of Disney proportions.
The plans include: an interactive theme park, hotel, conference center, golf course, water park, movie-television theme park, western village, family sports complex and, because it is in Kansas, an R.V. park.
If you've driving along K-10, the Sunflower plant is just to the south. Its many water towers can be seen from high spots in Lawrence. You've probably never driven by and thought, "My, wouldn't that picturesque piece of contaminated government property be the perfect tourist destination?"
I think about it every time I drive past. In fact, one time I was passing by and saw a column of black, acrid smoke pouring upward from somewhere inside the compound. Being the adventurer that I am, I exited off K-10 and like any normal man, drove toward the fire. When I got there, I witnessed what was one of many planned demolitions of buildings that had been part of the complex. In fact, cleaning up the place is going to cost more than $50 million.
I couldn't tell what the building had been used for, but the guys tending the fire were wearing those blue biohazard suits like the ones in the movie Outbreak. That seemed to be a pretty good signal that I didn't belong there. Had they been Munchkins, I wouldn't have been so scared.
The financing of the Oz project is a drama that has been going on for several years. Oz folks first wanted tax breaks from the state and then wanted help in actually paying for it. This week, the Legislature passed a bill to issue $250 million in bonds to help pay for the park. Why? I can't explain it.
The question is, who in the wide world is ever going pack up the Griswold family station wagon to take a cross-country trip to DeSoto? The folks at Oz estimate nearly 3.5 million people will do so. To draw them Oz, they will use ... the Internet! Palmer claims that Oz will use the Internet the same way Disney used early television to lure park goers. In fact, Oz needs 2.1 million visitors per year just to break even — before taxes.
That might not seem like much, especially when you consider that Disneyland drew 13.4 million visitors last year. But Disneyland sits in the middle of the giant Los Angeles metropolis, in L.A. proper contains 3.4 million people. Kansas City has 0.4 million. That's a big difference. In addition to Disneyland, California has a couple of other things going for it that also draw tourists, including hundreds of miles of coastline, tons of professional sports teams, the Nixon library and warm weather.
The last one is the real kicker. Disneyland and most other major theme parks are open 365 days per year. Because of our not-so-balmy Kansas climate, Oz will be open only 185 days per year. While Disneyland (in Southern California) averages 36,000 visitors per day, the Wonderful World of Oz (in DeSoto) will have to average 11,350 just to break even.
Hoffman is a Lenexa senior in journalism.
Oz backers will retort that 78 million people live within a 600-mile radius of DeSoto, and as Palmer says, Midwesterners travel.
Another International Women's Day on March 8 has come and gone, and still the United States does not support international efforts to end discrimination against women. The United States remains one of a handful of countries that has not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which addresses a wide range of issues specifically affecting women.
U.N. treaty would help stem violations of women's rights
This last year, women's human rights have been in the news a lot because many women continue to suffer from horrendous discrimination and violence. In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive. The Kuwaiti parliament again voted against women receiving the right to vote. In Afghanistan, women cannot appear in public without male family members. In Zimbabwe, they can be stripped of their family homes because of discriminatory traditional inheritance laws. In the United States, pregnant prisoners are often

shackled during labor and delivery. And, throughout the world, women are victims of domestic violence.
the world, women are victims of CEDAW was created to deal with some of these problems. The treaty was adopted by the United Nations in 1979 and has been ratified by 165 members of the U.N.'s 188 member states. The United States was active in drafting the convention and President Carter signed it in 1980. To take legal effect, international treaties such as CEDAW must be ratified through the appropriate measures in each country. In the United States, ratification requires a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate.
CEDAW recognizes that discrimination prevents women from enjoying the full range of human rights and freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural and civil fields. The convention thus outlines measures that governments are required to take to end such discrimination.
One fear many Senators have expressed is that U.S. ratification of CEDAW would give too much power to the international community and damage U.S. sovereignty. This is simply untrue. As with many international agreements, countries can express "reservations, understandings and declarations" in
cases in which there are discrepancies between the international convention or treaty and domestic law. The vast majority of CEDAW complies with U.S. law and the convention is compatible with the principles of the U.S. Constitution. Also, according to Amnesty International, "where any differences do exist, the convention calls for appropriate measures to be taken to progressively promote the principle of nondiscrimination. CEDAW grants no enforcement authority to the United Nations."
Another fear people have expressed in regard to CEDAW is that the convention supports abortion through its promotion of access to "family planning." Again, this is untrue. CEDAW does not address the matter of abortion and, according to the U.S. State Department, is "abortion neutral." Many countries in which abortion is illegal, such as Ireland and Rwanda, have ratified CEDAW.
An example of the mentality that has prevented ratification of CEDAW in the United States involves several female congressional representatives who interrupted a Senate hearing to confront one of the treaty's main opponents, Senator Jesse Helms. They were unceremoniously removed from the hearing room by the security personnel at Senator Helms' order. He also demanded that the congresswomen "act like ladies" and stop causing trouble. In response to that incident, female congressional representatives met with Senator Barbara Boxer, who has now taken the lead on CEDAW by introducing Senate Resolution 237, which calls for hearings and for Senate action by International Women's Day. Obviously, this has not happened, but ratification can happen if U.S. citizens demand that the government take a stand against discrimination.
Although women in the United States enjoy many more freedoms and rights than women in other countries, U.S. ratification of CEDAW would send a powerful message to the international community and to other countries. The power of CEDAW would be greatly enhanced with U.S. ratification, which, in turn, could bring about real change in the lives of women in many countries. All the United States has to do is ratify CEDAW, which would verify that this country does not support discrimination against women and that it will actively work toward establishing the full range of human rights to all women of the world.

Kansan is ignoring page one stories
In last Friday's, this Monday's and this Tuesday's papers, there have been articles on page one about trivial aspects of Student Senate campaigns. Readers could find out about a humorous coalition, a name similarity between two groups on campus and a prestigious campus figure running with a Senate coalition.
What the Kansan determines to be the most "newsworthy" topics for page one are not what's most important to the student body.
But those things do not get any deeper than the names. Trivial issues about Senate campaigns are not as important as a major coalition establishing its platform for the year.
The Delta Force Coalition told the Kansaan about the issues it is working on, things that make a difference to the University of Kansas. But that information got buried in the middle of the paper. Are issues like off-campus housing resources, improved campus recycling and a better student union not "newsworthy" or political enough for page one coverage?
Amy Cummins Newport, N.C., graduate student and graduate student senator
The Kansan runs cartoons making fun of campaign season. But it fails to give adequate attention to groups like Delta Force that actually do something, or to people who follow through on making positive changes for campus.

Erin Brockovich accurate, mother says
Lawrence native is portrayed in movie
By BriAnne Hess
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Erin Brockovich was picking up dead frogs on the edge of the Mojave Desert in her customary four-inch heels.
Her mother, B.J. Pattee, waited in the car and yelled to the appearance-conscious Brockovich that the mud was ruining her shoes.
Brockovich didn't care. She was on a mission — collecting samples to prove that Hinkley, Calif., had been contaminated by the local gas and electric station.
Mission netted Brockovich, a Lawrence native, $2.5 million of a $333 million dollar settlement and a movie with her name on it.
Erin Brockovich, starring Julia Roberts as the 1978 Lawrence High graduate, opens nationwide today. Student Union Activities sponsored a free screening of the movie at 8 p.m. Wednesday at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts
St. Darren Shabdach, feature
fisher coordinators, said SUA gave
out more than 800 vouchers for
the screening.
Pattee, who still lives in Lawrence, said she did not go to
the screening because she already had seen the movie twice.
"I was prepared to not like part of it, but I did." Pattee said. "I even forgave a few cuss words because I thought they were appropriate."
PETER SMITH
Although
Brockovich: Graduated from Lawrence High School in 1978
Brockovich's mother wasn't present at the screening, hundreds of University of Kansas students packed into Liberty Hall for the showing, including Stacey Love, Overland Park junior.
"I loved it." Love said. "I loved how at all the exciting parts everybody laughed and clapped together
er. When the movie ended, the mood was really light. Everybody came awave with a good feeling."
rattee said her daughter had been swamped with more than 400 interview requests and that she was making movie premiere appearances.
She said her daughter was comfortable with the movie because she was involved with nearly every step of production — from costume referrals to a cameo appearance. She played the waitress who served Roberts at the beginning of the movie.
"Erin was out there almost every day because they wanted to reconfirm everything." Pattee said
Pattee said that her daughter had continued to battle against the odds.
Her latest mission was the 1994 investigation of a gas and electric facility in Kettleman, Calif. Today, 900 former residents and workers at the plants are suing for personal injury caused by contamination with chromium VI. The trial is set for November.
"I understood why she got involved because she's quite passionate," Pattee said. "It's been the hardest thing for her because she learned what they were like. To see what has happened to them—the different ones developing cancer and dying, I don't think she ever thought about herself."
More information For a review of the movie, See page 6A
Pattee confirmed a report in Newsweek that Brockovich had been diagnosed with a benign tumor in her nose. In the article, Brockovich said she thought the tumor might have been caused by her exposure at the factory sites. Brockovich also said she hoped she was wrong.
Other things have changed in Brockovich's life since the movie.
Pattee said that Brockovich's relationship with George, her boyfriend in the movie, had ended, and that she was married.
"George was sort of a handman and kid watcher, but he hasn't been on the scene for a long while." Pattee said.

Gutsy woman
review by Clare McClellan
Julia Roberts is back in full-force Pretty Woman-style in Erin Brockovich, a film about a lower-class mother of three who makes legal history defending a small town against a billion-dollar corporation.
As the tagline for the movie reads, "She brought a small town to its feet, and a huge corporation to its knees," Erin Brockovich is the type of movie that will bring the audience to its feet as well. It's a stand-up-and-cheer movie, one that will make you laugh as much as it will make you want to cry. And the best part is, it's a true story.
The film is based on the life of the title character (Roberts), a Lawrence native and 1978 graduate of Lawrence High School residing in California. She meets a near-retirement lawyer, Ed Masry (Albert Finney), when she has hit rock bottom and needs a job. Gull-tripped into hiring for her a clerical position, Ed soon finds out that behind Erin's outrageous clothes and brash attitude is a determined woman who will stop at nothing to right a wrong for the town of Hinkleville. Calif.
Erin stumbles across medical records in a real estate case file for a huge utility company that has a plant in this small town and begins to investigate it further. She discovers that Hinkley residents are the victims of corporate waste (hexavalent chromium) flowing into their water from the company.
This innocent investigation snowballs into a huge lawsuit that consumes Erin's time and pulls her away from her three kids.
Next-door neighbor/biker George (Aaron Eckhart of Any Given Sunday) steps in to help look after the children while
The dialogue in this film is fantastic. The bitter exchanges between Erin and her co-workers are hysterical, and Erin's retorts to the hot shot lawyers she confronts are full of witty sarcasm. Almost every scene is supplemented with a strong, propelling script that sinus in the hands of these actors.

Several composite sequences are used in this film, showing Erin collecting evidence while flashing back to her house with George and her kids, that are well-edited and directed. They keep the movie flowing without having to slow down and script out scenes that are just as effective showing only bits and pieces.
ating relationship with Erin is the centerpiece of the picture. Eckhart's George is an unlikely baby-sitter but still believable in his supporting role. His romantic involvement with Erin doesn't get in the way of the central story, all the while adding more to our understanding of Erin's personality — her strengths and her weaknesses.
Erin spends her time getting close to the victims. She learns about many devastating medical problems they've suffered, for reasons they are unsure of. Being "one of them," Erin is able to earn the trust of the town and convences them and Masry that they can take on the utility company — and win.
The result is an inspiring tale. Much credit is due to the talented cast and to a story that was perfect movie material.
Roberts' performance is delightful. Her nonnense attitude and outfits (which, as director Steven Soderbergh put it, are almost audible they're so loud) are highly reminiscent of Vivian, her character in Pretty Woman. She played that part to a T and it works just as well here, providing many laughs with her inherent charm.
The Hinkley scenes, shot on location in the actual town, and the believable actors who played the town's victimized residents both add to the realness of the film
Finney's Ed is right on, and his ever-fluctu-
and intensify the attachment to these people and their deplorable story. If you're looking for a movie to kick off Spring Break with, Erin Brockovich is fun, uplifting and sure to entertain. Women are sure to
enjoy Roberts' "I am woman, hear mo-
roar" performance and, if nothing else,
the men can entertain themselves
counting how many times Roberts'
bra makes an appearance. One
could argue it deserves billing as a
supporting actor.
n
But the most amazing thing about this film is Erin Brockovich herself, and her tenacity that brought justice to those who were unable to fight for themselves. She goes out of her way to build a case against these corporate giants who see themselves as untouchable, yet are brought down by the touch of one uneducated and, at times, uncouth woman. Her strength is admirable — as is this film.

Stay far away from The Ninth Gate
Kansan movie critic
By Brian Bartelt
It's not scary, thrilling, horrifying or exciting, and it's not smart, thoughtful, funny or pretty. It's just lame.
Utterly deficient in almost every way, The Ninth Gate is easily the worst film released thus far this year.
This film keeps you barely interested enough to stay awake for its 127-minute duration, and then it
Aesthetically, it's pedestrian at best and frequently offensively bad. The first project that 66-yearold Roman Polanski has directed since 1994's Death of the Maiden, this sluggish beast is evidence that sometimes famous people should stay in retirement.
tosses you a wretched ending to take home.
The sole bright point of the film is the performance of Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow). In the first scene, he proves that it's possible to be both an antique book dealer and cool. His character, the morally detached and cold-blooded Dean Corso, is contracted by the very wealthy and poorly written book collector, Boris Balkan (Frank Langella). Corso's task: Traipse across Europe and track down two rare satanic tiones that allegedly hold the key to summoning Lucifer himself. Tempted by a

check with lots of zeros, the book hunter agrees.
Soon after, however, people are dying, books are burning and Depp is downing drinks like a frat boy.
Never before has searching for Satan been less interesting. With rhythm like the heartbeat of a dead sloth, The Ninth Gate redefines slow.
Tritely scripted dialogue makes all the conversation seem stilted and contrived. The music is present, at least, but is so overstated and ill-fitting that silence would have been better. Driving scenes feature blue-screen effects that might have looked good in the early 1980s but that are unacceptable in the year 2000.
The worst part of the film is the ending — it is the most atrocious letdown since Geraldo Rivera opened AI Canone's vault.
With a combination of poor writing, poor directing, poor effects and poor sound, The Ninth Gate is exceptionally bad. As one female patron said as the movie ended and the theater lights came up. "At least Pitch Black wasn't so boring."
Filmgoers would be better off renting Army of Darkness to satisfy their craving for evil books - it offers better effects, more entertainment and deeper meaning.
But whatever you do, don't spend your money on *The Ninth Gate*.
Rollins Band. Get Some Go Again
Music reviews
ROLLINS BAND
GET SOME GO AGAIN
Burn it
Henry Rollins' first music recording in two years, *Get Some Go Again*, presents the new Rollins Band and a straight, hard-edge sound that's too familiar to be captivating.
The 38-year-old Rollins is aggressive from start to finish, complemented by the blues-rock instrumentation of his backup band, Mother Superior. It's a solid album, unwavering in its attack, but in an effort to provide the listener with a cathartic release, it wallows around in what seems to be the same key for a majority of the time.
Thrashing around with powerful lyrics about crushing obstacles, the weak and another that frustrates him. Rollins does not possess much of a range as far as vocalists are concerned. But his talking/singing style works for the music, and his dismissive attitude towards those who would criticize him or knock him down is omnipresent as he soffs at the superficiality of the music biz in "Thinking Cap." It is in this track that guitarist Jim Wilson displays his talent for powerful, blues-heavy riffs that make Get Some Go Again more interesting.
Rollins is not a man of subtlety when it comes to speech. With 18 music records and multiple "talking" tours under his belt, we can only wonder when he will stop having things to say. That time does not seem to be coming anytime soon, and the redeeming characteristics of this album are his unending witch and observation.
The last track, "Illuminator," is the gem of the album because it represents what Rolls does best: telling it like it is. For a fourteen-minute jam, with guitarist Wayne Kramer of MC5 fame wah-whing to excess, Rolls paints a picture of an ugly Los Angeles where there exists a sad, shallow underworld. "We're gonna vent some steam and talk about this town," he says, gearing up to reveal some spoken word about the "L.A. money train" over groovy riffs. It's doubtful, however, that Get Some Go Again is his ticket to ride.

The Reverend Horton Heat Spend a Night in the Box Buy it
A few cars out on the road have bumper stickers that read "I Was A Sinner Until I Saw Reverend Horton Heat!" After listening to The Reverend's new album, Spend A Night in the Box, one realizes just how right that sticker is.
Rockin' and rollin' like few can. The Reverend is back and sounding as hip as ever on these 14 tracks of pure sonic bliss. One of the few artists not caught up in the whole swing fad of late, the Reverend has remained an underground favorite.
It seems as if nothing can slow down the mighty Reverend as his guitar screams all through the album, especially on rocking tracks like "Big D Boogie Woogie," "Sleeper Coach Driver" and virtually every other cut on the album. It's futile to pick out a track more rocking than another.
High-powered drum beats and arrangements that scream southern rock make tracks such as "The Girl In Blue" impossible to listen to without pulling out your air-drums and pounding along to the rhythm, or at the very least, tapping your toes. "Sue Jack Daniels offers high-speed angst with a humorous twist. It's a tale of a man who's had too much of the ol' J.D. and claims Mr. Daniels wrecked his car and thus deserves to be sued. A fun song, courtesy of the good Reverend.
Spend a Night in the Box is full of fun characters and over-the-top stories, and it makes a wonderful addition to any CD collection, unless you're happy being a sinner.

Fu Manchu
Fu Manchu King of the Road
Buy it
The fifth release from Fu Manchu rocks just as hard as its previous albums. Eleven new tracks with bonus-enhanced CD material make for a fun follow-up to *The Action is Go*.
the songs on King of the Road break down into sheer fuzz-driven rock 'n' roll, music perfectly suited for driving. This is the ultimate road trip album, with tributes to the "Boogie Van" and the "Hell On Wheels." Check out "Grasshopper," "Weird Beard" and "Drive" for more fun rock music.
Smooth production work and tracks that sometimes fade into each other add to the listening experience, making King of the Road an album that's enjoyable again and again. That's rare in a music scene cluttered with one-hit wonders and throwaway rock bands.
The latest from Fu Manchu may not break any ground musically. But since that's virtually impossible, don't hold it against the band. King of The Road is a CD that's perfect for your Spring Break road trip.

Women begin NCAA play tomorrow
By Chris Fickett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Coach Marian Washington will be running the show today when the Kansas women's basketball team practices for its NCAA first-round game against Vanderbilt.
"They've had their two days, and that's it," said Washington, who allowed her juniors and seniors to run two practice sessions earlier this week.
But that does not mean that the coach is cracking the whip on her eighth-seeded Jayhawks too hard. Washington wants her team to be loose and ready for tomorrow's 9 p.m. game against the ninth-seeded Commodores in Ruston, La.
"Their last three practices have been pretty good," she said. "I think that the biggest challenge is telling them to relax."
Keeping her team loose might avoid a repeat of the Jayhawks' Big 12 tournament quarterfinal defeat to Nebraska. Washington said that when the 'Hawks pressured Nebraska in the second half, they were playing in fear of losing—not with a winning attitude.
"When you get in that kind of situation, you're really going to struggle," she said. "So we have to
remember that kind of experience."
The Nebraska game also served as motivation for Lynn Pride, an honorable mention pick on the All-America team.
"Our Big 12 was disappointing, but we have the tournament to look to," the senior forward said. "Right now, we have nothing to lose."
Another point of emphasis is their offense. The Commodores play mainly zone defense, which has given the Javahawks fits.
Toward the end of the season, the 'Hawks' offense was stymied by zone defenses in defeats at Missouri and Oklahoma.
Offense worked against the Jayhawks in their Big 12 tournament opener, but in a different way. Nebraska's Nicole Kubik dropped a tournament-best 32 points in the Jayhawks' 80-67 defeat. They'll want to avoid a similar breakout tomorrow night from Vanderbilt's Chantelle Anderson.
Fortunately for the Jayhawks, the improved health of 6-4 center
Anderson, a 6-foot-6 freshman post, averages 15.3 points and 5.3 rebounds a game and is very athletic in the paint. In the backcourt, 5-5 junior Ashley Smith, who averages 3.6 assists a game, leads Vanderbilt.
Nikki White and point guard Jennifer Jackson could help offset the Commodores' key players.
And the team's mental health has improved, too. All disappointments about the Jayhawks' seeding have given way to hope that the volatile nature of the tournament could work in their favor.
Kansas realizes that it could be the catalyst of a tournament upset. But only if it can win its first-round game and carry its energy into a probable second-round tilt on Monday with No. 1 seed and host school Louisiana Tech.
"We're anxious to fill that possibility and shake it up a bit," Washington said.

Kansas will be looking for a little respect tonight.
The Jayhawks, 23-9, will be playing in their 11th-straight NCAA Tournament when they tip-off against the DePaul Blue Demons, 21-11, in the East Regional at 6:40 p.m. in the Lawrence Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem, N.C.
The Jayhawks haven't lost a first-round game since 1978, which is a streak of 16 consecutive victories in the first round. Their overall NCAA Tournament record is 58-28, and they will be making their 29th overall appearance in the tournament. And yet, Kansas seems to be the forgotten team this year.
A fifth-place finish in the Big 12
Conference standings and a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament will do that to almost any team.
Let them forget about us," said Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich. "Let everyone forget about us. Let us just go out and do what we have to do."
What Kansas will have to do is knock off a plethora of top-ranked teams to reach the second round, the Sweet 16, the Elite Eight and eventually the Final Four.
Other teams in the East Region? Fifth-seeded Florida, a Southeastern Conference power with a 24-7 record; fourth-seeded Illinois, a team that walloped Kansas 84-70 during the regular season; third-seeded Oklahoma State, which beat the Jayhawks twice this season by a combined total of 52 points;

Blue Demon Richardson: the Jayhawk who got away
TOWGA
What's wrong with the Kansas basketball team, you ask?
That's right — T.O.W.G.A. — better known as "The One Who Got Away."
Specifically, DePaul superstar guard Quentin Richardson. He is a one-man scoring machine, a rebounding maniac, and certainly will make some NBA lottery team very happy if he chooses to leave college after this, his sophomore year. But on Friday, his season will be finished. The Blue Demons don't have enough depth around Richardson and fellow supersophomore Bobby Simmons to make a significant run in the tournament.
A regular ending for an extraordinary player.
On Friday, the Jayhawks will dispose of DePaul — but then have their season end on Sunday with a loss to Duke. A regular ending for an all too average team.
In the ultimate of ironies, Richardson is a superstar without a team, while Kansas is a team without a superstar.
Separately, the teams constitute college basketball's equivalent of polar opposites. DePaul's fortunes rely solely on the shoulders of Richardson — he has led the Blue Demons in scoring 18 times and rebounding 19 times. The Jayhawks, meanwhile, lack the consistent go-to player that pulls the team's overall talent together.
The irony of the situation? Both parties could have had each other and done something spectacular this March. Richardson could have been a Jayhawk, which could have, in turn, made Kansas the top team in the nation. Funny how two teams' fortunes can rely on a decision a 17-year-old made two years ago.
Out of high school, Richardson was one of the most highly touted players in the nation. A McDonald's All-America at Chicago's Simeon High, Richardson was heavily recruited by many top programs, such as eventual national champion Kentucky. But when signing day neared, Richardson had his choices down to two schools: Kansas, who was on its way to a No.1 ranking and a top seed in the NCAA tournament, and DePaul, a Catholic school in Chicago that was in the midst of a 7-23 season.
Richardson visited Lawrence for late night in 1997 and — according to a source in the Kansas athletics department — gave everything short of a verbal commitment that he was going to enroll at Kansas.
However, Simmons — Richardson's high school teammate — committed to DePaul, and soon after, Richardson followed. Kansas never recovered, stringing together two consecutive disappointing seasons.
Now, just imagine if Richardson had chosen the Jayhawks. Add his 17 points per game to Kansas' roster, and the Jayhawks easily are the number one team in America. All the talk of the decline of Kansas basketball never would have taken place, Roy Williams would be Coach of the Year, and the Jayhawks would have rolled to their fourth consecutive Big 12 Conference title.

What's ahead for Kansas, 14-8, is a three-game series starting today in Stillwater, Okla., against Oklahoma State, 12-7. The 'Hawks will spend the
remainder of their spring break at Hoglund Ballpark, where they play Rockhurst on Tuesday, Arkansas on Wednesday and Missouri for three games starting March 24.
"Our schedule is almost half over, and the next half of it really heats up — and it starts with Oklahoma State," Randall said.
Kansas and Oklahoma State have similar programs: Both are tied for fifth in the conference with a 3-3 record, both have ERAs about four and both have performed well in their last five games. Although Kansas is 2-3 and Oklahoma State is 5-0 in the last five games, the Jayhawks' wins have come against

tough competition.
"The next series and all of spring break is a turning point for us," said senior Shane Wedd. "Oklahoma State is a middle-of-the-road team, just like us."
Now, Randall may make Smart take another nap before he pitches on Sunday.
Junior pitcher Pete Smart took a two-hour nap before last Tuesday's game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and he threw six shut-out innings and earned his fourth win.
But the 'Hawks have a secret weapon in the matter: napping.
"We play at 1 p.m., so he may have to get up early and then take his nap mid-morning," Randall said. "Athletes are very superstitious, and I'm all for another nap if it convinces him to throw well. I might bring my pillow, too."
Smart, 4-3, has been the most consistent member of the pitching staff. He leads the
(6)
team with seven starts while carrying a 2.79 ERA and 25 strikeouts. His nap Tuesday might have helped him throw his second shut-out of the season, with help from sophomore reliever Grant Williams in the seventh.
"The nap was the best thing I ever
lone," Smart said. "I felt physically
relaxed, and it gave me more pop on my
last ball."
The well-rested 'Hawks will defend their 8-3 road record while in Stillwater and then try to vindicate their 6-5 home record. And while other teams head to warmer climates, Wedd said Kansas was fortunate to play at home.
"My freshman year we were in Ames, Iowa," he said. "It couldn't be any worse that that."

Develop new skills and access abundance in May. Around August, you should have your routine down pat. Bring somebody else on board around September. By December, you should wrap up an old job and be ready for something new. That shows up around February, but it's not quite what you expected.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries: Today is a 6.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Conditions are almost good for travel and romance, but not quite. A date may have to be postponed. You could start out for one destination and end up at another. Instead of trying something new, stick with the familiar. Do chores first, too.
You may want to go out and play with your friends, but something at home needs your attention. The bad news is that you should postpone your visit. The good news is you could get your place whipped into shape so you can entertain.
Gemini: Today is a 5.

Luke Axtell sues Texas for releasing his grades
good academic standing and the grade report was incorrect.
AUSTIN, Texas — University of Kansas basketball player Luke Axtell has filed a lawsuit against the University of Texas, athletics director Deloss Dodds and former coach Tom Penders about the release of his grade report to a radio station in 1998.
The lawsuits filed Wednesday in Travis County District Court said it was Penders who orchestrated the improper release of Axtell's grades. Dodds was aware it would happen and did nothing to stop it, the lawsuit said.
Axtell, who also is suing the station that broadcast the report, said the release of the grades was illegal and that his right to privacy was violated.
Axtell, who transferred to Kansas from Texas, suffered mental anguish and public embarrassment and contempt, the lawsuit said. He is seeking unspecified damages.
The release of the grades came after Penders suspended Attell for alleged academic troubles, although the school has said since he was in
"I don't know anything about this lawsuit," said Penders, who now coaches at George Washington University.
Penders denied any role in releasing the grades.
He said he thought the grades release was all a facade to get rid of him. He accepted a $900,000 settlement on his $2,2 million contract when he left Texas.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana coach Bob Knight does not recall choking former player Neil Reed, although he might have grabbed him around the neck for motivational reasons.
Texas officials did not immediately return telephone calls seeking comment. The state attorney general's office, which will represent the university, had no immediate comment, a representative said.
"I know the truth," he said. "The last thing they want for me to do is testify."
Indiana coach denies choking former player
Knight on Wednesday denied Reed's claim that he ordered the university's president out of a basketball practice.
Reed, who transferred from Indiana at the end of the 1996-97 season, accused Knight of choking him during practice and contended he was physically and mentally abused by Knight.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
An interview with CNN/Sports Illustrated in which Reed repeated his charges was broadcast Tuesday night, and a longer version was part of a CNN program Wednesday night.
The university investigated and rejected Reed's claims three years ago, but school officials said Wednesday that they would look into the new claims.
"Maybe I grabbed Neil Reed by the shoulder, maybe I took him by the back of the neck, I don't know," Knight said. "I don't remember everything I've done in practice."
DUNEDIN, Fla. — Starting a three-way trade of first basemen yesterday, Toronto sent David Segui — and cash — to Texas.
SALUD A LA CALIDAD
First basemen head to new home teams
The Rangers then dealt Lee Stevens, Lawrence native, to Montreal, and to complete the deal, the Expos sent Brad Fullmer to the Blue Jays.
Segui hit a combined, 298 for Seattle and Toronto last season with 14 home runs and 52 RBI. A, 285 career hitter, he was dealt by Seattle last July 28 for pitchers Tom Davey and Steve Sinclair, became a free agent after the season, then signed a $4,325,000, one-year contract to stay with the Blue Jays.
BASEBALL
Fullmer split last season between Montreal and Triple-A Ottawa of the International League. He batted .277 for the Expos with nine homers and 47 RBI.
Stevens batted .282 last season for the Rangers, setting career highs with 24 home runs and 81 RBI.
Sanders, Lions disagree on bonus repayment
DETROIT — The Detroit Lions are pressuring Barry Sanders to repay immediately a porated share of his 1997 signing bonus, widening the gap between the retired running back and his old team.
SCORPIUS
NFL
David Ware, Sanders' agent, said his client and the Lions were asking arbitrator Sam Kagel to clarify when Sanders must repay one-sixth of his $11 million signing bonus for each year he fails to play under terms of his six-year contract.
Ware said that in a letter to Sanders dated March 3, the Lions demanded payment by March 13 of the $1.83 million that Kagel ruled the player owed the club this season.
The Lions said the wording of Kagel's February ruling gave them the right to collect the money 10 days after the club announced the starting date of training camp.
But Ware counters that Kagel never intended that result for Sanders, who the agent said should not have to repay the porated share of the signing bonus unless he fails to report for training camp.
Lions officials did not immediately comment.
SWIMMING
Neck-to-ankle swimsuit questioned for Olympics
ATHENS, Greece — It was designed to help swimmers glide through the water like sharks. Now a new neck-to-ankle swimsuit has some officials worried it could hurt competition and lead to lawsuits.
But Australian Olympic Committee president John Coates expressed concern in Sydney yesterday that swimmers could expose themselves to legal challenges by wearing the swimsuits during the Olympics.
Unveiled yesterday at the World Short Course Championships, Speedo's new swimsuit claims to cut down on drag through the water.
"The swimsuit is not a cheat," said Joe Fields, president of Speedo International. "It's evolution; it looks revolutionary."
Paul Phedon, international marketing manager for Speedo International, said the swimsuit had been approved by FINA, swimming's world governing body. He claimed there should not be a problem with using it in the Olympics.
FINA later issued a statement in reply to Coates, saying bodysuits are not devices designed to make swimmers go faster, such as webbed gloves, flippers or fins that violate FINA rules.

“It’s ironic that it comes down to my last two school choices that I narrowed it down to,” Richardson said earlier this week.
Instead, the fortunes of both Richardson and Kansas are mired in the 8-9 game in the NCAA bracket, and the winner of today's game is staring second-round squarely in the jaw. Because of Richardson's choice, both his and Kansas' seasons will be finished
Rigg is a Greenwood Village, Colo., sophomore, in broadcast journalism.
Oh, what Kansas fans everywhere wouldn't give to have the one who got away.
Then, someone asked Richardson if he had any words for Williams, the man who tried so desperately to put him in Crimson and Blue, the man who needed him so desperately now.
"I'll see him in North Carolina, Richardson said daringly.
Men relish role as tournament underdog

and second-seeded Temple, which comes into the tournament with a 24-5 record.
"It's a different role that we're going to be playing this year," said Kansas guard Kenny Gregory. "Hopefully we can surprise some people. People don't think we can do it. It it's better that people aren't going to be focusing on us."
Instead, that focus revolves around the No. 1 seeded Duke Blue Devils — Kansas' likely second-round opponent if the 'Hawks beat DePaul. Duke is led by two secondteam All Americans in Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year Chris Carrawell and junior forward Shane Battier, a 6-foot-8 bruiser.
The Blue Devils, 27.4, are ranked No.1 in both the Associated Press and the ESPN/USA Today polls,
and they clinched both the ACC regular season and tournament titles.
"If we beat DePaul, it's always been a dream of mine to play against Duke," said Kansas center Eric Chenowith, who was recruited by the Blue Devils when he was in high school. "Records go out the window when the ball goes up in the air."
Records, at least, didn't matter to the Jayhawks in past NCAA Tournaments. The Jayhawks were a No. 1 seed in 1995 and were upset by a lower-seeded team in the Sweet 16. In 1996, the Jayhawks were a No. 2 seed and were upset by a lower-seeded team in the West Regional Finals. In 1997, the Jayhawks were a No. 1 seed and were upset by a lower-seeded team in the Sweet 16.
And in 1998, the Jayhawks were again a No.1 seed and were upset
by a lower-seeded team in the second round.
That's why the Jayhawks think maybe, just maybe, they can ruffle a few feathers this year as a lower seed.
"We've been kind of up and down this year," said Kansas forward Nick Collison. "When we come to play we're a tough team. If we come out and do what we need to do, I think we'll be a tough team to beat."

No. 70 Kansas to battle No.18 Baylor at home
After going 0-3 against ranked opponents this season, the Kansas women's tennis team will attempt to crack the win column against stiffer competition this weekend.
The No. 70 Jayhawks will take on No. 18 Baylor at 11 a.m. Sunday at the Robinson Courts.
Last week's 7-2 loss to Minnesota dropped the Jawahiers' record to 8-3 on the season and dropped them 20 spots in the rankings.
While the 'Hawks may not enjoy being ranked in the 70s, they remain undefeated in the conference, which is exactly where they want to be.

But standing in their way is a red hot Baylor team that has yet to lose this season.
The Bears are 12-0 on the season.
Junior Monica Sekulov knows the task facing her team is a difficult one, but she said the team was determined to beat the Bears.
5-0 in conference, and they jumped 11 spots in the rankings to No. 18 after beating Florida State 5-4 last weekend.
Sekulov has had a solid season rotating between the four and two positions. She is 17-8 on the season and has a 14-5 doubles record with various partners.
The most challenging match may be at the No.1 position where senior Brooke Chiller has played all season. She most likely will be facing the No. 22 player in the nation, Jahnavi Parekh.
Following Sunday's meet, the Jayhawks will spend most of their spring break on the East Coast. They play Maryland on March 21 and South Florida March 24.
Before retiring to Lawrence the 'Hawks will stop in South Bend, Ind.

Jayhawks travel south for Florida State tourney
The Kansas softball team left for Florida yesterday — but not for spring break.
The Jayhawks will not be lying on the beaches or hitting hot spots at night. The only place they'll be seeing the sun for the next three days will be on the softball field.
The team will travel to Tallahassee, Fla., to compete in the Tallahassee Democrat Florida State Invitational. Last year, the Jayhawks went 2.3 in the tournament, but this year they hope to redeem themselves. Coach Tracy Bunge said she thought this would be a tournament in which her team could do so.
"We've got good competition, but not national ten competition other than Michigan," Bunge said. "I think we've got a chance to do good things in a big tournament."
Bunge said inconsistency could slow the 'Hawks down.

Union making room for cybercafe
Renovations could bring proposal to life as early as this fall
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
The Jaybowl and a cybercafe at the Kansas Union? Who says you can't have both?
David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge unions, said it was probable that students would be able to bowl, sip espresso and use computers all within the confines of the Union, and possibly as early as Fall 2000.
"After the Jaybowl proposal, we began to ask if there was any other way we could put the cafe in the Union and make it work on a 24-hour basis." Mucci said. "I think we've found a way to make it work."
Mucci said that under the new plan, the cybercabe would occupy the northeast corner of the dining area on the third level. He said the building would need some minor renovations, including cutting a door into the east side of the building that would provide 24-hour access to the cafe while restricting access to the rest of the Union. He also said that a sidewalk leading to the door from Oread Avenue would be necessary.
Avenida was walled up. Mucci said the cafe would need to be enclosed in order to keep out noise from surrounding areas. He said he envisioned a glass partition that would both keep out noise and allow light into the area.
Mucci estimated the project's cost at under $100,000.
The lost dining space on the third level would be recouped by an additional 1,600 to 1,600 square feet of space created in the Union's renovations. Now in the third phase, renovations are estimated to cost $5.7 million and will expand the bottom four levels of the Union to the west.
Mucci said he didn't think the loss of dining space would pose a problem, but he noted that the loss would be temporary.
"We think we'll be completed with that portion of the renovations sometime around January of 2001," Mucci said. "So if there was a problem, we'd have a pretty quick remedy in the pipeline."
Mucci said the project still would have to be accepted by the Memorial Corporation. He said this time student leaders supported the idea.
Yoder said he rejected the previous proposal to put the cafe in the Union because he thought the first level should remain a designated recreation area. He said the third level was a good location for the cafe.
Kevin Yoder, president of the Memorial Corporation board and Hutchinson first-year law student, said he favored the proposal. Yoder cast the deciding vote last month rejecting the proposal to replace the Jaybowl with a cybercafe.
"Putting computers in the Union is a great idea," Yoder said. "There aren't a lot
of computers that are accessible for students in that area of campus. The Union needs to provide computer services. It just makes sense."
Students also support the cybercafe's potential location.
"As long as it's not in place of the Jaybowl, I'd definitely support it," said Nikki Horne, Lenexa junior. "I like the idea of it being 24 hours, too. It seems like it would be a nice place to study."
Chris Halton, Liberal sophomore, said he liked the idea of having more computers on campus.
"Late at night, it's hard sometimes to get into the computer labs. I think it would help fix that problem," he said.
help fix the problem. Mucci said that the plan did not necessarily rule out putting a similar facility in the Burge Union.
"We're still interested in putting computers in the Burge Union and tying that into the Union Food Services, but we're not quite sure yet how that will operate," Mucci said.
Some KUIDs failing wearability tests
6017 4302 0902
LUNO DE FEZ
MARCO FEDERAL
By Cassie Holman
Special to the Kansan
Nearly two years after the new KUID "smart cards" became standard at the University of Kansas, some students are finding that the cards are not holding up to the test of time.
Megan Frost, Manhattan sophomore, had her new KUID for a year and a half when she discovered that the front of the card was peeling away from the back and the microchip was about to fall out.
"I think the bending of it in my back pocket is what did it," she said. "It's never been through the wash."
Frost said she used the card only to check out library materials. She said that as long as she could function with the card as it was, she wouldn't get a new one.
"Since they're such poor quality, I think the University should pay for them to be replaced," she said.
Some of the most recently issued KUIDs are falling apart. The card's distributor, CyberMark, is changing the card stock to improve durability. Photo illustration by Jamie Roper/KANSAN
Although the cards were distributed for free in the spring of 1998, new students and faculty now must pay $10 for the card. If it is damaged, there is a $15 replacement fee.
Nancy Miles, KU card administrator, said that several months ago, the card stock was changed in order to make the cards more flexible. It will take time for the results to be seen, she said. The cards are distributed through CyberMark, based in Tallahassee, Fla.
"We keep CyberMark abreast of cards that fail," she said. "So far, the number of broken cards falls within the normal range of wearability. Until they say we've got a real problem, there's not much we can do. Like anything else distributed in mass quantity, some cards are going to fail."
Miles said that if a student brought in a defective card with no sign of abuse, the University would pay for the replacement, though she said the center had not seen many cards that could be classified as non-abused.
Miles said a non-abused card was one in which the front and back were peeling apart. She said that abused cards included ones that had snapped in half or ones that had a damaged magnetic stripe.
"We might replace 1 percent of the total cards we distribute," she said. "But maybe people are carrying around split cards we don't know about."
Amanda Connel, Leavenworth sophmore, said that was what was happening. Connel works at the circulation desk of Watson Library, where the KUIDs are required to check out materials.
"I have only been working here for
about three weeks, and I've seen six or seven IDs where the back is completely separated from the front," she said. "If it will still scan, we still check out stuff to people."
"The people at the library told me to get a new one, but it still works, so I don't want to pay for a new one," Martin said. "I have no idea how it broke. I just had it in my pocket, and it broke."
As long as the card will function, some students are hesitant to report a damaged card.
my pocket. Miles said the way students handled their KUIDs was important. She suggests keeping the card in the white sleeve that is given out with the new card. She also said it was better to keep the card in a wallet than a pocket or on the dashboard of a car.
Jennifer Martin, Pittsburg junior, recently discovered her KUID had snapped in half.
"Treat it like an ATM card, and it will last longer." Miles said.
Students who live in the residence halls are required to have their KUIDs scanned each time they eat in the cafeteria. This means many cards are carried around all day and handled several times a day.
Ray Dalton. Lansing senior, is a resident of Lewis Hall. The front and back of his card are peeling apart, and the chip is defective, Dalton said.
"I pulled the ID out of my wallet a couple times a day to go to Mrs. E's, and that's all the wear and tear it got," he said.
Dalton said that because the chip in the card did not work, he was unable to use it to make copies.
Elaine Vrooman, Baltimore senior, had to pay for her KUID last year because she was studying abroad when the cards were distributed for free. Though her card is only a year old, Vrooman recently noticed that the front and back were peeling apart in one corner.
"I haven't even had it that long," Vrooman said. "I've never had a plastic ID card, driver's license or anything else fall apart like this."

University's fee distribution complies with Court's ruling
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Apparently the Supreme Court thinks the University of Kansas is doing something right.
The court voted unanimously in favor of the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System, which was being sued by three students with ideological objections to the ways in which their student fees were being spent.
Partha Mazumdar, KU graduate senator, said he was pleased with the case's outcome.
The Supreme Court ruled March 22 that the University of Wisconsin can allocate student fee money without individual students dictating where their dollars go, just as the University of Kansas does.
"It completely validates everything we've been doing here at KU," Mazumdar said. "I agree with the concurring opinion. The University itself has an ideological bent to it, so there is nothing wrong with the student government having an ideological bent."
holdover senator.
"There are rules, but once you abide by the rules the money is given out on a value-neutral basis."
"If the Supreme Court would have ruled the opposite way, it would have changed the way Student Senate does things. A lot of what we do is funding and fees," Jenkins said.
KU students pay $214 per semester in student fees. Some of that
Partha Mazumdar graduate senator
money goes toward set amounts that pay for services like Watkins Memorial Health Center and campus transportation. Those fees are reviewed in three-year cycles.
The remaining $17 is allocated by Student Senate to groups like OAKS, the nontraditional student organization, Templin Revolution and the KU Choral Society.
Mazumdar said that aside from debates in finance committee and articles in the student-run conservative Kansas Review he had not heard organized complaints from students about where their money was going.
Some of Student Senate's rules include funding groups that are open to all KU students and denying funding to groups primarily religious in nature.
"There are rules, but once you abide by the rules the money is given out on a value-neutral basis," Mazumdar said. "You can be the most absurd thing, and you'll get the money."
The court took issue with the referenda issue at the University of Wisconsin, saying that allowing the student body to decide where money would go would eliminate neutrality.
At the University of Kansas, students were given the choice in 1997 referendum for a $1 child-care fee. It was approved.
Kevin Sivits, ACLU president, said he thought funding for buildings would be appropriate for a referendum, but funding for a group like Campus Crusade for Christ would be inappropriate.
"Our main view is this is like taxes," Sivits said. "We don't have a choice to opt out of certain taxes. I'd rather have my money go to some group I dislike than have speech be squelched, and so it comes out in the open and can be discussed."
Moreover, Sivits said he thought Senate funded groups for things like office supplies rather than things ideological in nature.
Robbin Hubbard, organizer at the Center for Campus Free Speech in Washington, will speak about the case at the University on April 5.
Hubbard, who could not be reached for comment, said in an earlier interview with the Kansan that the content of her speech would depend upon the case's outcome.

The State Board of Education's key communicator for Lawrence, Leonard Magruder, resigned from the unpaid volunteer position Friday after the Lawrence Journal-World reported that he pleaded guilty in 1987 to attempting to take indecent liberties with a minor.
Criminal past helps end state volunteer's position
Board Member Val DeFever said the Magruder incident was an fortunate situation. The key communicator program was intended to help get word
of the positive things the Board does out to communities, she said.
Board member John Bacon, whose district includes Lawrence, did not nominate Magruder. He said the incident was not a big deal.
The positions are minor ones, and there is no provision for doing background checks for them. Bacon said. But DeFever said that now maybe there should be.

'Special K' drug stolen from animal hospital
A local animal hospital reported that 60 milliliters of a veterinary anesthetic called ketamine were removed from its office overnight Thursday.
Lawrence police said that about 60 milliliters of ketamine, known on the streets as "Special K," was stolen from the Animal Hospital of Lawrence, 1316 Jonathan Dr., between 6:45 p.m. Thursday and 7:10 a.m. Friday. The drug usually is used by vets on farm animals, but it also can be used by humans as a hallucinogen. It is most often obtained through theft at veterinary offices.
Lawrence police said that $250 damage was done to a rear door and a cabinet inside the office during the burglary.

Cancun hotels slammed with influx of students
Chris Viveiros, a 22-year-old senior at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I., spoke with a broad grin.
HIS really tude. he said.
Not really. It was just another day of spring break in Cancun, a resort that has steadily grown into a world capital of the mid-March binge of sea, sand, spirits and sex that is a rite of passage for U.S. college students.
Bristol, R.I., spoke with a broad grin. "This is unreal, dude," he said.
Leaving behind traditional spring break spots like Daytona Beach, Fla., and South Padre Island, Texas, a record number of U.S. college students have descended on Cancun this year, turning the resort into the hottest party spot there is.
MTV films kids are wriggling in their bikinis. EI Entertainment Television is scouring the beach for lurid footage. Jose Cuervo and Corona are sponsoring events at discos that compete for the word-of-mouth title of the least inhibited party.
"There's no place to party like this, in America or anywhere else," said Kate Roberts, a junior at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
Cancun has been building 1,000 new hotel rooms a year for years, but still hit a record 100 percent occupancy a week ago. That means many students showing up with confirmed reservations had to be bused off to nearby resorts.
"We've had 70,000 spring breakers in the last four weeks," said Laura Fernandez de Gordoa, Cancun's municipal tourism director. "We have 26,000 rooms, but we need at least 33,000."
Florida is still the top spring break destination in terms of sheer numbers, travel agents say. But that's because it's easy to pile into a car and hit the beach. In terms of spring breaks that require planning and a little more money, Cancun is now king.

Campaign targets fake IDs
Posters illustrate consequences
By Mindie Miller
By Minda Miller
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff
Posters stressing the consequences of making and using fake DIs are greeting KU students returning from spring break.
The Joint City-University Task Force on Alcohol Abuse Prevention hopes to make the use and manufacture of fake IDs look less than glamorous through the posters, which have been hung around the University of Kansas campus and Lawrence.
The 500 posters were paid for with money from the University provost's office, said Provost David Shulenburger, chairman of the task force. He did not have specific figures available yesterday.
"We're trying to show the sequences of using and manufacturing fake IDs," said Gayle Martin, communications coordinator for the City of Lawrence "We want young people to understand that there are consequences. They could end up in municipal court, and it could end up on their permanent record."
The task force was formed in 1998 to curb alcohol abuse by students at the University and in Lawrence. Research indicated that a drinking culture was prevalent in Lawrence and that fake IDs were easy to obtain.
The posters developed by the task force remind underage drinkers that possessing a fake ID is a misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine of up to $500 and six months in jail. Manufacturing fake IDs is a felony and comes with more serious penalties.
The posters also are intended to inform fake ID manufacturers that they may be identified through the Lawrence-Douglas County Crime Stoppers tips line. Those who call in tips that lead to the arrest of such manufacturers could receive a reward of up to $1,000.
But Ryan Schultz, Wichita junior, said he didn't think the posters would work.
"People are going to use them no matter what," he said. "As long as you have friends that are older and you're going out with a group of them, you'll either use a fake ID or someone else's ID."
Schultz, now 21, said he used a fake ID when he was underage.
With a fake ID youll meet people!
Get real.

Don't get burned by the fake ID business
...but you should not use stolen credit cards.
The Joint City-University Task Force on Alcohol Abuse Prevention has placed posters like this one on campus and in Lawrence in order to show the consequences of fake IDs. Contributed photo
Massachusetts St., said that on a busy night, the bar turned down anywhere from five to 10 fake IDs.
"Fake IDs are prevalent, that's for sure," he said. "The problem from my perspective is the transfer of liability for other crimes. Bars become liable for the actions of persons with fake IDs."
Filmmaker to speak tonight
Doug Liman, director of the movies Swingers and Go, will speak at 6:30 tonight at 130 Budig Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
Liman will cover a variety of topics, ranging from opportunities in the film industry to how he made his films. He also will answer questions and sign autographs.
"Doug's a talented and bright young man who has established a good reputation from Swingers and Go," said Chuck Berg, professor of theatre and film. "It's appropriate that he will be talking about Swingers in my Jazz in Film class because of the 1990s swing revival."
John Tibbetts, assistant professor of theatre and film, said Liman's visit was a great opportunity for the theatre and film department
"At 33 years old, he's a real up-and-comer." Tibbets said.
Tibbetts also said he looked forward to the possibility of Liman working with independent film projects in Kansas City and Lawrence.
Bv Mike Hoffman
Edd McCracken, Ballywalter, Northern Ireland, junior, said he was excited for the opportunity to hear some of Liman's insight on making film.

"The fact that he's actually coming to speak here is exciting." McCracken said. "I'm looking forward to asking him how he got the idea to fragment the storyline in Go the way he did," he said.

"I sort of got an unofficial call on Friday," he said. "It was early in the morning before I went to class, so it
Bradshaw: Aspires to become an environmental lawyer
The award goes to students likely to succeed in public service careers.
The award will give Bradshaw $3,000 for his senior year of college and up to $27,000 for three years of graduate study.
Bradshaw will graduate in May
2001 with a degree in American Studies.
Bradshaw said that he did not know where he would go for graduate school but that he wanted to become an environmental lawyer.
"I haven't even taken the LSAT or looked at many schools, but I'm intending on getting an environmental law degree," he said. "I'm interested in non-profit work."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway congratulated Bradshaw for his excellence in campus leadership.
Bradshaw has organized students to clean streams and to work on a gardening project. In 1988, he won the Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall Marietta Jackson Award for outstanding service to the campus community.

Coalition's message of apathy puts student elections into perspective
Some University of Kansas students don't care about Student Senate elections. This is made obvious by the embarrassingly low number of students who actually vote in the annual elections. But a few KU students care so little about Senate that they are running for office. While some may doubt the dedication of the Resume Builders coalition, they cannot deny its message
The message that the coalition is spreading is one of complete and abject apathy toward Senate. From bike lanes to campus safety, from legislative lobbying to student fees, the coalition interjects a common theme: Who cares? The sad, or perhaps not surprising, fact
Many students can identify with the Resume Builders' mocking of Student Senate
is that a clear majority of students agree with the mocking message of the Resume Builders.
How many times have students been witness to a Wescoe beach political event, something akin to a big tent revival, waiting for Senate candidates to admit that they are just kidding? Sometimes Senate elections can get out of hand with the amount of pompous
grandstanding and heated discussions concerning issues most students deem irrelevant. And so we have Resume Builders.
With four coalitions promising to shake up at least the division of votes, we gladly are given one coalition that puts it all into perspective. With Resume Builders, we will not have to worry about another pathetic instance of "outside consulting." We will not have to worry about dozens of political science majors trying to perfect their trades. Instead, we will get a few hardy laughs. For this, we wholeheartedly welcome Resume Builders into the political fray.

Feedback
Film vouchers same as buying books
In reference to the March 16 editorial, while I appreciate the annoyance of having to pay $25 for a film voucher, the University of Kansas is ultimately justified in doing so.
I would assume the $25 fee is levied because the cost of the film course is disproportionately high in comparison to general class fees. Students in the "preferred" engineering department often have to buy books that cost much more than $100, with no financial help from the University. The film voucher cost is for something discussed in class, similar to the books that every student purchases without the aid of the University.
Also, the "photocopying
passes" nightmare you envision is already a reality. I have taken classes in English, history and American studies in which significant portions of the reading comes from photocopied handouts rather than books I am required to purchase. I always thought it was a fair trade-off for not having to spend money on books.
So while I'm sure students are bothered by this film voucher, the burden does not fall "unfairly" on to the students anymore than it does when students are required to buy books.

In a March 14 article in the Kansan, you claim that, "Other than athletes, [you] don't know who spends more time working for this school," but we know that there are many other organizations that do a great deal for this institution. We're not saying that student athletes do not contribute greatly to the University of Kansas, but by saying that, you overlook the many contributions of the wide array of groups on campus.
Let's take for example the Young Democrats, who
were instrumental in the drive to save the Jebowl, or the resident assistants, who communicate daily with students on a one-to-one basis. What about the Student Union Activities, which brings numerous educational speakers and entertainment to the University, and even Senate, which you are longing to join, which provides support for the other numerous student groups?
You have provided no support for your claims about the so-called superior contributions of student athletes. As voters, we would look for a candidate who is concerned with all the organizations on campus, as opposed to one elite group.

In the eighth democratic elections since Francisco Franco died in 1975, the Popular Party candidate, Jose Maria Aznar, won his

Elections in Spain were conducted March 12.

bid for re-election and will serve another four years as president. The pro-business, conservative Popular Party also won big in the congress, marking the first time a conservative party has held an outright majority in Spain.
The conservative government here differs from other European countries where center-left parties have won recent elections. Many Spaniards still lean to the left
more than half of the electorate was alive during Franco's 40-year dictatorship.
Before Aznar, Spain was governed by the Socialist party for 14 years. In 1996, the Popular Party barely squeaked by the Socialists and had to form a coalition government for a majority.
Then many people moved to a nearby plaza where there was a stage with speakers and a food stand with typical Spanish snacks, chocolate and churros, all complimentes of the Popular Party. As we stood in line, an impromptu dance party started booming to the club music. It was hard not to feel the excitement that capped the election night. I didn't have a particular favorite in the elections, but Spanish politicians know how to party. The previous Friday, I had watched a salsa band and drank free sangria in another plaza, complimentes of the United Left Party.
The rise in support for the Popular Party is being attributed to Spain's booming economy. In the last four years, unemployment has dropped from 23 to 15 percent. In the elections March 12, almost 70 percent of Spain voted, a number that would have the United States giddy with excitement. However, it was more than 7 percent lower than the 1996 elections and 10 percent lower than Spain's highest voter turnout in 1982.
So what does this all mean to you? Probably not much. My host family was surprised to learn that I thought most Americans wouldn't know anything about Spanish politics — any Spaniard who pays attention to the news knows about Bush and Gore and is following the U.S. presidential campaigns with some interest. The American president, whether liked or not, plays a huge role in international politics and is our main representative and ambassador.
On Sunday night, while watching the elections results on TV, I realized I had never been closer to the center of politics on election day. My roommate and I decided to see things for ourselves, as a short metro ride took us to the middle of a crowded street near the Popular Party headquarters. Thousands of people crushed together, whipping party signs and Spanish flags in rhythm to techno music blaring from loudspeakers. The crowd seemed to be an even mix of young and old. Just before midnight, the president and his wife came out, and he gave a short speech that everyone eagerly cheered on.
For example, last month the Spanish king and queen visited the Clintons in Washington, D.C. The Spanish king mostly is a figurehead at this point, but the newspapers devoted plenty of text and pictures to the trip. I even saw a photo of the queen after she tripped on some stairs with Clinton reaching down to help her up. The news from the White House — the good, the bad and the scandalous — is reported around the world.
So remember, when you vote in November, the world is watching. I just hope by then some club music and a little chocolate and churros can be injected into the mix of American politics.

Lawmakers are fighting drug war on wrong front
A recent example is the $1.7 billion in anti-drug funds destined for Colombia that Congress is about to approve. Those sort of funds might very well do more to perpetuate the war than to end it by potentially raising revenues of drug lords. All the while, this does nothing to reduce the long-term supply of drugs.
The drug war is costing the U.S. government billions of dollars every year, and a good deal of that money is wasted or benefits drug lords more than the Americans who are adversely affected by drugs.

It certainly is worth taxpayer dollars to educate people about the perils of drug use and help those who want to get off drugs. Social messages that drugs are dangerous should be stronger than those glamorizing drugs. Adequately equipped rehabilitation clinics should be no less available than the drugs themselves. Law enforcement should continue to minimize the immediate drug supply on the open streets and crossing the U.S. borders.
Yet, as any college student with his or her eyes open knows, clamping down any more on the supply of drugs will do little to deter those that want them.
vention and rehabilitation. That is, financing education and publicity that tell people drugs are bad, as well as financing programs to help those who find this out the hard way.
From an economic standpoint, the United States can fight the war on drugs on two fronts: the supply side and the demand side. The supply side includes everything from international eradication and interdiction battles down to the Lawrence police, who occasionally skirmish with dealers, hapless users in Hashinger Hall and the like.
Similarly, the U.S. drug war should not wage an international battle on the world supply of drugs.
The reason boils down to basic economics. Where there is demand, suppliers will meet that demand. The government can affect the drug market's equilibrium price by restricting supply. The fewer drugs there are on the market, the higher the price.
Fighting drugs on the demand side entails pre-
Intuitively, that may seem to be a good strategy — the higher the price, the fewer people there are who can afford them. But many people addicted to crack, heroin and even alcohol simply forgo all other costs to pay for the drugs. And high prices — especially compounded with few or under-financed rehabilitation clinics — can drive desperate addicts to crime.
More fundamentally, the higher the price, the higher the number of suppliers who enter the market. Even if $1.7 billion would wipe out all of Colombia's drug supply (raising the
For example, beyond "Just Say No" campaigns, government could give private media producers more economic incentives to portray drug use negatively. Rehabilitation centers also need market-based incentives to do their jobs effectively. Taking a cue from the success of American universities compared to public schools, we could try a voucher system that rewards clinics that find a way to wean their patients off drugs successfully.
The sensible means to fight the war on drugs, then, is by reducing demand. Lawmakers realize this as well and spent between $1 billion and $7 billion (depending on which financing one counts) last year on domestic demand reduction.
Certainly more work could be done in prevention and rehabilitation. Offering incentives to the private sector is the best way to improve on the public sector's job.
The tragic situation in Colombia most certainly calls for our help. However, Colombia's problems run deeper than drug production. If we are to help them, we should do so acknowledging the full scope of the chaos that reigns there, not under the guise of protecting Americans from Colombian drug suppliers.
But there are no illusions in the Clinton administration or in Congress that this $1.7 billion is a one-time expenditure. That amount will cover just two years. There's open discussion in Congress about the billions more that will be needed during the next six to 10 years. And those are conservative estimates of how long it will take to eliminate the drug supply in Colombia alone.
equilibrium price), suppliers would crop up elsewhere in a balloon effect. This is exactly how drug production arrived in Colombia after being driven out of Bolivia and Peru in the '90s.
But neither Clinton nor Congress took the balloon effect to its logical end. That is, so long as there is demand for drugs anywhere, even if just among the wealthy, drugs will be supplied somewhere — if only by impoverished nations with few other means to raise capital.
Of course, Congress acknowledges the balloon effect and has committed to coupling Colombian financing with regional financing. In fact, while Congress considered the Colombian financing, ambassadors from Peru and Bolivia showed up to point out that, without more U.S. funds in those countries, the drug supply surely would rise to its former levels. Why, with the threat of producing drugs, the whole world could get handouts from the United States.
The only way to begin winning the war on drugs is to channel our anti-drug resources to those harmed by drugs. Otherwise, we'll just be chasing the problem instead of seeking the solution.

Universities attempt to curb sweatshop labor
KU policy, guidelines on apparel factories largely up to monitors
By Doug Pacey
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Shortly before spring break, Duke University did something to give sweatshop laborers a break. It withdrew rights to manufacture apparel bearing the school's logo from 28 companies because they would not disclose the locations of their factories.
About the same time, Princeton University issued a similar request to its manufacturers, which have until the end of the month to comply, said Bob Durkee, vice president for public affairs at Princeton.
Indeed, as sweatshops have become a hot-button issue in recent years, college apparel manufacturers like Duke's and Princeton's are facing tougher guidelines. But Paul Vander Tuig, director of trademark licensing at the University of Kansas, said he did not think that tightened guidelines would make a difference.
"My instinct is that the companies who didn't disclose their locations are either in really bad trouble or they don't do a lot of business with Duke," he said.
He may not be far from the truth — the 28 companies comprised 8 percent of Duke's annual royalty revenue.
Vander Tuig said he had no desire to learn the location of factories that produce apparel with the University's logo.
"From my standpoint, sitting in Lawrence and just knowing where the factories are doesn't do anything for me," he said. "I don't have a monitoring procedure in place to find out what's going on in the factories."
But the Fair Labor Association, of which the University is a member, does have monitoring procedures. The FLA has external monitors — non-governmental workers that inspect factories in other countries, Vander Tuig said.
If a factory is not compliant with the FLA's code of conduct, Vander Tuig said,
"I'm hopeful that someday there will be universal labor laws. It's going to take tough measures to stop it though."
Kyle Browning KU Amnesty International president
it would no longer be allowed to use the University's trademarks.
But Kyle Browning, Overland Park junior and president of the University's chapter of Amnesty International, said some people thought the FLA wasn't fully pursuing code violations. Browning said a new group, the Workers' Rights Consortium, was trying to enlist universities in the fight to impose stricter regulations on factories.
"The FLA was a good first step," he said. "But I know that there is a lot of concern about the FLA not having teeth anymore."
Princeton's Durkee, however, said that
ne did see potential for the FLA to be an effective monitor.
"The FLA hasn't even gotten its teeth yet," he said. "It just hired its executive director recently, and the staff has been in place for a few weeks."
Durke said the FLA would begin to monitor Princeton apparel factories this summer. It had monitored some factories previously, but only during a pilot program.
"They'll inspect the factories based on their size, what country they're in and their past history," he said.
There is no instant solution to curbing sweatshop labor, Vander Tuig said.
Browning said he agreed, but to a point.
someday there will be
"I'm hopeful that someday there will be universal labor laws," he said. "It's going to take tough measures to stop it though."
Vander Tuig said that he supported the elimination of sweatshops but that it was not the University's job to regulate factories.
"There is a middle ground on many of those issues," he said. "The FLA can be effective in dealing with these. We are making progress, and progress is the solution."

Her mother wanted to have her tested for ADD when Dopf was five but decided the hyperactivity was just a phase.
D
During tests, Adrienne Dopf used to get distracted by the folding chairs in Budig Hall.
She read about Attention Deficit Disorder in her psychology class and recognized the symptoms as her own. Last winter, a physician diagnosed ADD in Dopn, Lenexa senior. She now takes Dexedrine to help her concentrate.
FINDING FOCUS
Her grade point average has increased more than a point
Elementary school was OK, she said, but high school was frustrating. Dopf was putting in the hours but not seeing the results.
"Things come easier that used to be really hard." she said.
story by john audelhelm illustration by kyle ramsey
College is tough for students with ADD who have not been diagnosed or treated
High school was it then, she said. Although Dpf graduated high school with a 3.3 GPA, she said she could have done better had she been diagnosed sooner.
Counselors at the University of Kansas say college students with ADD are a special breed. They have made it to college despite handicaps that most people do not understand and some do not believe. But once in college, a time when even successful students must put in long hours of concentration, students with ADD find they cannot keep up.
When these students seek out help and undergo a lengthy diagnostic procedure, they get medication and other assistance.
The results are often amazing.
"Some people will tell you it's like night and day," said Pam Bott, associate director of Counseling and Psychological Services. "Some people say, 'This changed my life.'"
"High school was hell." she said.
Myra Strother, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, sees most of the students who come to Watkins for ADD counseling and treatment. She said she had become something of an ADD expert out of interest and enjoyed working with self-presenting students who wanted to better themselves.
Meghan Bainum, Topeka senior,takes Ritalin,the more commonly known medicine to treat ADD.
She said she had seen students who were on academic probation before treatment for ADD and got almost straight A's after.
"It's like my brain has no filter in it," Bainum said. "It's hard to describe."
ADD symptoms
She said one student said he had not read a book in his life. After he began taking medicine, he went to Borders Books Music & Cafe, 700 New Hampshire St, and bought 16 books
Strother also enjoys watching the results of treatment.
It was like a kid in a candy store, she said.
re or read king
Strother said ADD had three main symptoms: inattention, impulsiveness and distractibility. Hyperactive boys and girls get diagnosed in elementary schools. The merely inattentive students are no noticed.
Many ADD children coast through high school without paying attention, Strother said. The smart ones get to college, and at that point many begin to have problems.
Bainum said she was a hyperactive child who always wanted to entertain people. A teacher once had to feed her mints to keep her quiet during a school play.
Bainum said she couldn't play the piano for more than 15 minutes at a time or sit through a movie. She could read a book, but couldn't write an outline of it to save her life.
She said normal people break down tasks into steps, and she instead looks at the whole. When her mother would tell her to clean her room, Bainum said, she couldn't do it unless she was given specific instructions such as, "Put your stuffed animals on the bed."
KU solutions
Dopf said she had taken advantage of these opportunities. Instead of taking tests in Budig's distracting lecture halls, she now takes them alone in a quiet room and gets extra test time.
The University of Kansas provides services for students with ADD to help compensate for their disadvantages.
Dopf said her testing
Lorna Zimmer, director of Services for Students with Disabilities, said her office tried to provide students with ADD an equal opportunity to succeed in college.
situation was not unfair. There are rules about backpacks and notebook in the testing room, she said, and a proctor checks on her frequently.
Zimmer said services were tailored to fit the individual.
"ADD is like any other disability or medical condition or personal characteristic." she said.
"To do that we have to know which barriers apply in this case," Zimmer said. "We're not offering them more. We're offering them an equal chance to remove these barriers." Her services include having
It varies from person to person, so services are given on a case-by-case basis.
Other services include having tape-recorded lectures, teachers reading tests to
students and rephrasing test ques
tions and volunteer hone-takers. Zimmer said she did not agree with the idea that only the smart students with ADD get to college. She said she saw a wide range of students.
And not all students who say they have trouble concentrating are diagnosed with ADD.
Cathy Thrasher, chief pharmacist at Watkins, said the drugs used to
dead ADDE such as KRUTH, BACKED, IN
Anderel, were not prescribed
lightly.
"They are considered addictive drugs," she said.
Bainum said it was tough to obtain Ritalin from Watkins.
"They control Ritalin like it's gold," she said.
Ritalin has to be prescribed each time. Doctors cannot give refills. It is classified as a C-2 drug, she said, which means it has the highest possibility of addiction. A C-1 drug, such as heroin, has no medicinal purpose, and a C-5 drug, the lowest rating, would be cough syrup with codeine.
Strother said that although Ritalin was addictive to normal people, it was not to the true ADD person.
"It's a confusing diagnosis," she said, "and that's one of the problems with it is it looks like a lot of different things."
Botts said the ADD diagnosis attempted to filter out other possible reasons for the symptoms, such as depression, anxiety or stress.
She said counselors at the University tried to help ADD students appreciate their strengths.
They usually think they're stupid, she said.
Strother said she also tried to emphasize ADD students' strong points. She said they could deal with many projects at once, had high energy and good people skills.

"High school wasn't for me," she said.
Instead, she got a general equivalency diploma, and her ACT scores were high enough to enter the University.

Bainum said people were skeptical about ADD.

Grades out for 'Hawks following NCAA loss
Déia vu.
A mildly disappointing regular season found redemption in a valiant tournament effort that ended in an intense, inspiring defeat in the second round.
The similarities between last season's Kansas men's basketball team and this one don't end there either. Both teams were saddled with unrealistic expectations by fans and, yes, sportswriters. Both teams relied on a nucleus of young players. And neither team showed much toughness until the tournament.
Mid-season grade cards came when the team was 16-3, and the 'Hawks finished 24-10. Even though the team went just 8-7 since the midterm, the grades didn't dip too much because the tournament (as always) was weighed more heavily.
Grades are based solely on game performance and on my opinion (which, as I was informed by several readers after the midterm report, was completely worthless). The letter in parentheses is the midterm grade, followed by the final grade.
Luke Artell. (B) W. Enough said.
Nick Bradford — (B), B+ — He never could knock down the open jumper and was second on the team in turnovers (with the most costly of the season coming late against Duke). But Bradford was the toughest guy on the team and made his share of big plays. We couldn't have beat DePaul or Missouri without him.
Jeff Boschee — (B), C+ — Shooting toud faded in and out during the second half of the season, but he still ended better than 40 percent from three-point range. The problem is that when he doesn't get open looks, he can't find other ways to help the team. Boschee is the worst passer Kansas has had at guard in Roy Williams' tenure.
ERIC Chenowith — (D+), C- — The improved grade is based largely on the three dunks he had in the tournament. His effort did seem better late in the season, but the off season will be the true test. He needs to spend more time in the gym and less time as the world's tallest Dave Matthews groupie ("Dude, I caught eight shows this summer!"). Reconsidering a Student Senate run would also be a good idea. It's not often a sports writer gets political, but... Vote Delta Force.
Nick Collison - (A), A - Consistent all year long. He has so many moves that sometimes he tried too many and got called for traveling. He can score, he can rebound, he's got great hands. Don't expect Collison to do anything but improve.
Drew Gooden — (A), A. — Showed he can dominate in the first half against Missouri. Lapses in focus, however, sometimes rendered him ineffective (thus the minus). Gooden is awesome on the boards, and he can score both facing up and with his back to the basket. A little more maturity will make him a star.
Kenny Gregory — (B+) B+ - Without a jump shot, he'll never truly be a star. He did a great job, however, finding his role. He is a strong finisher around the basket, and he got regularly by running in the open court and attacking the offensive glass. It's hard to argue against 57.7 percent field-goal shooting. Unfortunately, it's even harder to argue for 42 percent free-throw shooting.

'Hawks to rebuild with recruits
Williams upbeat about Stevenson; walk-on prospects
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
After his team was bumped in the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the third year in a row, Kansas coach Roy Williams was forced to put a spin on an up-and-down season.
"It was at times a very frustrating season," he said. "You don't like to have 10 losses. I think that some teams, and how easily they adapt to things in practice, make it easier and allow more sleep. This was not a team that did that, but there's no question that I enjoyed the kids."
Jayhawks early in the season after they won 15 of their first 17 games. Then the 'Hawks went into a funk and finished fifth in the Big 12 Conference after losing six of their last 13 regular-season games.
The enjoyment was abundant for the
Kansas, 24-10, came to life in the NCAA Tournament in Winston-Salem, N.C., winning an overtime game against DePaul before eventually falling to top-ranked Duke in the second round. 69-64.
"We talked for a couple of moments in the locker room (after the
loss to Duke) about some things that had to be done, not necessarily on an individual basis but on a collective basis," Williams said. "Everybody knows things that you struggle with, and everybody knows your weaknesses. How successful we're going to be in the future depends
Williams: Will have 10 returning players next season
on how well we take care of those weaknesses."
The Jayhawks return 10 players next season and have already tried to plug some weaknesses through recruiting. Kansas has signed one player for next season and has two more available scholarships, but Williams wasn't sure he was going to sign anybody else.
"We're looking, and if someone has a real upside and can add to the program, then we'll pursue them." Williams said.
That pursuit has already landed DeShawn Stevenson, a blue-chip prospect who signed with Kansas last fall and is labeled by most recruiting analysts as the top wing player in the nation. Stevenson, a 6-foot-5 guard, was named a McDonald's All-American and averaged about 30 points a game at Washington Union High School in Fresno, Calif.
The only downside? Stevenson hasn't qualified academically.
"I'm not worried," Williams said. "I think he's got some time left, and he's starting to do some things now that are going to help him. He's had a tough
senior year and has had to change coaches, so it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing. I guess I am confident but he knows that he has some work to do."
One other possible Kansas recruit is unsigned Travon Bryant, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Jordan High School in Long Beach. Calif. Bryant told allstar-report.com that he would likely wait until after the McDonald's All-American Game to make a decision.
That means Bryant will make a decision between California, Kansas and Missouri after Wednesday night, when he will play in the McDonald's game at the FleetCenter in Boston. Like Stevenson, Bryant has yet to qualify academically.
The Jayhawks have one more player in the fold for next season. 6-2 guard Mario Kinsey from Waco, Texas. Kinsey signed a football national letter-of-intent with Kansas last month, and plans to walk on to the basketball team after the football season has concluded.
Williams also said he hoped to add two more walk-ons for next season.

Runs came too late and too few for the Kansas baseball team yesterday at Hofund Ballpark.
The 'Hawks dug holes early in their 10-7 defeat to Missouri. A lead-off walk in the second inning led to a Missouri run, and back-to-back home runs broke the game open in the fifth inning, giving the Tigers a 7-1 lead.
But Kansas fought back with a four runs in the seventh inning when juniors Doug Dreher, Jesse Gremminger and Brent Del Chiaro, sophomore Ryan Klocksien and senior Shane Wedd each had hits.
"I don't believe in moral victories, but I liked our fight today," said coach Bobby Randall. "We got down 7-1 and battled our tails off and made it a ball game. I like the way we swung our bats, but at some point we've got to find a way to come back and win one of these."
Missouri took two of three games from Kansas during the weekend that was highlighted by a 3-0 shutout performance from junior lefty Pete Smart on Friday and a 12.2 shellacking by the Tigers on Saturday.
Most of the 'Hawks' bats were cooled by Missouri pitchers, but Klocksien and Del Chiaro provided offense during a lackluster Kansas series.
Klocksien, who has hit safely in 19 of his last 21 games, ripped a two-run homer left the left-field wall yesterday in the seventh and scored Kansas' final run in the ninth.
Del Chiaro tallied seven hits in his two starts against the Tigers, including four rips and two RBI yesterday in clutch situations.
"It hurts to us battle and then come up short," said Del Chiaro, whose family flew in from California to watch him play. "It was good for us to show our fighting ability in the later innings, but it's frustrating."

Guthridge said. "But I believed and the team believed and that's why we're going."
Under fourth-year coach Billy Donovan, Florida turns games into track meets with a freshman-sophomore dominated roster that can sustain it.
Guthridge thinks Carolina can handle the Gators' up-and-down style.
"I think the experience in playing against some athletic teams in our league and in non-conference has helped us," he said.

Men's tennis takes Texas Tech win
By Brent Waskos sports@kansan.com
Kansas writer/swriter
The University of Kansas men's tennis team picked up a much-needed victory Saturday against Texas Tech after dropping two matches in Louisiana last Tuesday and Wednesday.
The unranked Jayhawks lost to No. 24 Louisiana-Lafayette 5-2 and to No. 42 Tulane 6-1 on the road before coming home and upsetting 56th-ranked and Big 12 Conference foe Texas Tech 5-2 at the Robinson Tennis Courts Saturday.
The top 100 NCAA tennis teams are ranked in a national poll.
The victory improved the Jayhawks' conference record to 2-1 this season.
Freshman Pete Stroer, who's 17-13 this season, said that the team now was trying to focus on the Big 12.
The Jayhawks struggled with their doubles play against Louisiana-Lafayette and Tulane, claiming only one of six matches and losing both of their doubles points.
"The scores in Louisiana were not indicative of the way we played," he said. "But coming back to Lawrence and winning was still a real confidence booster for this team."
Junior Ed Dus, who typically plays with sophomore Rodrigo Echaguaray at the No. 1 doubles spot, felt pain in his ribs before the
match against Louisiana-
Lafayette. He did not compete
again until Saturday.
Kansas coach Mark Riley said Dus' injury hurt Kansas' chances in Louisiana.
"It was kind of a freak injury, and it definitely made a difference for us." Riley said. "Against Texas Tech, we were able to the doubles point and put pressure on the Red Raiders. We were not able to do that, those things threw
do that saa Louisiana-Lafayette and Tulane, and that cost us." D uus returned to the Jayhawk lineup on Saturday
against Texas Tech, and Kansas won the lone doubles point, taking an early 1-0 lead. Kansas increased its lead to 3-0 with wins from freshman Eléazar Magallan at No. 2 singles and from Stroer at No. 5 singles.
The Red Raiders fought back, cutting Kansas' lead to 3-2 after two singles victories. Kansas senior and team captain Bryan Maier finished off Texas Tech, however, with a dramatic win against Red Raider Jeremy Earl. Maier lost the first set 6-1, but managed to battle back and claim the second set 6-3
and the third set 6-4.
"Maier coming back like he did was huge for us." Riley said. "I think this kind of win could provide us with the momentum we need to play well the rest of the season. My guys could have had their tail between their legs after what happened in Louisiana, but they didn't give up."
Magallan and Stroer were two of the most consistent players during the Jayhawks' spring break matches. They each won two of their last three singles matches, and their only losses were in three-set matches against Tulane. Magallan has the team's best singles record at 25-13.
"I've been impressed with our freshman all year. They are really coming through for us." Riley said. "We've played a brutal schedule so far, but I think my guys are learning a lot and turning things around."
Kansas, 5.8 overall, will take on Oklahoma at 10:00 a.m. Saturday at Robinson. With more than half the season played, Riley said his team had to start picking up some victories if they planned on making the NCAA Tournament in late May.
"We have to do a lot of winning the rest of this season," he said. "The selection is not based on how you start but how you finish. This is a young group, and we have plenty of opportunities in front of us."

Hawks fall short in weekend series against Missouri
Continued from page 1B
A lack of hits wasn't the only problem yesterday — senior pitcher Rusty Philbrick often fell behind in the count, which allowed Tiger batters easier at-bats. Del Chiaro, who caught for Smart on Friday and Philbrick yesterday, said he should have told Philbrick to throw a variety of pitches.
"We need to stress the importance of getting ahead in the count," Del Chiaro said. "If we don't mix up the pitches, the batters can figure them out and string hits together."
Philbrick gave up the back-to-back home runs that ignited the Missouri hit trend, but Randall said the elements had their hand in the left-field smashes.
"It was a lefty wind today," he said.
"They wouldn't have been home runs if not for the wind. Rusty didn't have his best stuff coming off three day's rest. But it's over — we need to make un some ground."
With a 5-7 conference record, the 'Hawks drop to the bottom half of the Big 12 standings. Three conference series are on deck for Kansas, including run-ins with conference leaders Baylor and Nebraska.
"We haven't been swept, but we've only won two of three once," Randall said. "It has to happen at some point, and we can't dig ourselves a big hole. So we have to sweep Baylor. We busted our tail, but we have to play better."

Junior John Nelson returned to shortstop after a five-game absence because of a thumb injury. He went zero for five at the plate.

Junior track and field team captains Scott Russell and Andrea Branson have a head start on the competition after automatically qualifying Saturday for the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
Russell qualified in the javelin, while Branson did the same in the pole vault at the 2000 Dr Pepper Invitational in Waco, Texas.
Branson won the pole vault with a jump of 13-feet-1 — out-leaping the second-place finisher by more than two feet. Russell, who was a redshirt during the indoor season, placed second in the discus and won the javelin with a throw of 259 feet — 53 feet farther than the next thrower.
"Andrea and Scott getting an automatic qualifying mark in the first meet is great because then

you don't have to worry about it" coach Garv Zavtarsz said.
The women piled up a firstplace, two second-place, one third-place and four fourth-place finishes.
Meanwhile, the men's team had several strong finishes in addition to Russell's win. It collected two firsts, two seconds and two thirds.
"It's really good to see that the entire team is achieving really good results," Russell said. "I know it's our first meet, but seeing them perform well at a small meet like this is great."
The team heads to South Carolina Saturday for the Clemson Collegiate Series meet, its first scored meet of the season.

KU fans put Duke to shame in spirit
Commentary
By Chris Wristen
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — "Duke Sucketh."
It's more than just the battle cry screaming from Kansas Athletics Director Bob Frederick's T-shirt at the pep rally before the Jayhawks' game against the Blue Devils in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. It also described the lackluster noise level generated by Duke fans at the East Regional.
For years Duke fans, a.k.a. Cameron Crazyls, have been proclaimed as some of the nation's best, but Kansas fans were not impressed.
"I'm not sure how many Cameron Crazies were there, but overall I thought their crowd was pretty lifeless for most of the game," said Curtis Sample, Lenexa junior.
The lack of volume may come as a surprise considering one of the two east subregions was played at Wake Forest University, only one hour away from the Duke campus. The location played to Duke's favor according to Duke fans.
"Even though it's not at Duke, they've played at Wake Forest in the conference season so they know what the rims are like," said Travis Tate, a Winston-Salem resident and Duke fan.
While location was on their side, the Duke fans didn't make enough noise to provide a home-court advantage. The highest noisereperson was generated in the Kansas section which, while holding about 900 people, boomed for a majority of the game. Few students made the 18-hour trek to the game, but alumni picked up the slack in leading the noise brigade.
"For the numbers we had, we did a lot of cheering," Sample said. "The alumni and faculty were a lot more lively than I expected. They were much more lively than at Allen Fieldhouse."
One of the vocal alumni was Brent Snyder, a 1999 graduate who now lives in Charlotte, N.C.
"I didn't expect this many people out here," Snyder said. "It just goes to show no matter
[Image of two people embracing each other.]
Right: Kirk Hinrich wraps a pass around Duke's Carlos Boozer and into the hands of Nick Collison. Collison dunked the ball, which pulled Kansas within two points of the lead with 1:46 left in the March 20 game. Above: Nick Bradford hugs assistant coach Joe Holleydway following the loss to Duke. Bradford finished his last game as a Jayhawk with seven points and seven rebounds. Photos by Joy Sheperd/KANSAN
where Kansas goes there will be fans there."
The Duke fans also lost the vocal battle with the supporters of 16th-seeded Lamar in the Blue Devils' first-round game. The underdog Cardinals had about 600 fans, many who drove 22 hours to the game from Beaumont, Texas.
Even though Lamar lost by 27 points, its fans cheered until the end and thought they blew the Duke fans out of the gym.
"They're nobody compared to us," said Jimbo Miles, a freshman at Lamar. "I haven't heard them all day."
Two hours before Lamar played Duke on March 17, the Jayhawks pulled out a thriller in overtime against the DePaul Blue Demons.
The Jayhawk players heard their Kansas contingent loud and clear, though, and that made the difference for guard Kenny Gregory.
"Even though we were far from home, we still have a lot of support out here," Gregory said. "We looked up in the stands and saw a lot of Jayhawks — that carried us in the game."
KANSAS

Team grades improve in second half
Continued from page 1B
Kirk Hinrich — (B), A — Showed the most improvement of anyone on the team. If he's really as good as he looked against Duke, Kansas will be a serious contender for a title in the years to come. Quickness and ball-handling is great. With a consistent jump shot (which appears to be in progress), he could lead the team like Adonis Jordan did in 1993.
Ashante Johnson — (I), B — Got some starts late in the season, but he never really made an impact on a game-to-game basis. His contributions were enough to upgrade him from an incomplete, and he made some baskets that were important enough to get him a B. Ashante, we barely knew ya.
Marlon London — C+(+), C — Never really found a rhythm. Made some open jumpers late in the season, but he never really gave the team the bench boost everyone thought he could provide. Let's hope it was just the dreaded sophomore slump.
Once again, Jeff Carey, John Crider, Lester Earl and Terry Nooner get left out. Sorry guys. We know how important you are to the team at practice, but these are game grades.
Roy Williams — (C.), B — You can't fault his work ethic or his love for the team, and the initial expectations for this season were unrealistic. But Williams was slow to implement needed changes. Moving Boschie to the two spot and putting Bradford and Chenowhill in bench roles were much-needed but belated decisions. Williams is hesitant to stray from formulas that have proved successful in the past, and it's hard to blame him considering his winning percentage. But in the last several years, his teams also have fallen repeatedly into the same mistakes. Williams should embrace change, otherwise he might end up like Bobby Knight. And if Williams is still wondering whether that's a compliment, he should just pick up a paper and read the latest on the infamous Indiana legend.

First-round defeat dashes team dream of a Final Four trip
RUSTON, La. — When the Kansas women's basketball team
oogan the season,
it had dreams of a
Final Four appearance.
But the eighth-
seeded Jay hawks'
dreams were dashed in the first round of
the NCAA
Tournament
March 18 with
a 71-69 double-
overtime loss
JACKIE MCDONALD
Kansas had plenty of opportunities to win, but turnovers and missed shots hurt the team.
Pride: Collegiate career ends with missed three-pointer
to No. 9 seed Vanderbilt.
Kansas had two turnovers in the last minute of regulation, but it still had a chance to win. With the game tied 51-51, the Jayhawks tried an alley-oop pass to a soaring Lynn Pride, but failed when the ball sailed out of her reach.
In the first overtime, Kansas led 61-57 with 35 seconds remaining, but Vanderbilt center Chantelle Anderson cut the Jayhawks' lead to two with a basket. Kansas forward Jaclyn Johnson could have put the game away with by converting a one-and-one free-throw attempt with 19 seconds left, but she missed the first shot. On Vanderbilt's next possession, forward Zuzana Klimeeova scored, which sent the game into a second overtime.
With 40 seconds left, senior guard Suzi Raymant tied the game 69-69 with a three-pointer before falling to the floor, but no foul was called.
On two trips to the line in its next two possessions, Vanderbilt scored two points and led 71-69 with 2 seconds left. Johnson heaved a baseball pass to senior Guard Pride, who turned to shoot
"Suzi would like to go into coaching, and I think Lynn has a few more years of playing before she is finished. Even though it will be disappointing not to have them back in the fall, I will be around them somehow"
a long three that could have added another day to the Jayhawks' season.
"I don't know about going in, but when the bail left my hands, I thought it had a good chance," Pride said.
It bounced off the rim, however, and a screaming Vanderbilt team stormed the court.
had a heart attack because I was standing there with her, and I knew it was a three," Klimesova said of Pride's potential game-winning shot.
The Commodores were underdogs again in their second-round game March 20 against top-seeded Louisiana St. Vanderbilt put together another solid performance but lost 66-65.
"I think this win proves to Vanderbilt, to ourselves, that we can come through for each other." Anderson said. "It is a great feeling to know your team can support you and come through for you."
The Jayhawks finished the season 20-10. The year's end also marked the end of the collegiate careers of Pride and Raymant.
"I had a great group of seniors this year, and it is disappointing to see them go," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "Suzi would like to go into coaching, and I think Lynn has a few more years of playing before she is finished.
"Even though it will be disappointing not to have them back in the fall, I will be around them somehow."

Swim coach promoted; team to be split in two
By Brandon Kristel at
Warisa Chulindra
writer @kansan.com
writer + author
Gary Kempf, University of Kansas swimming and diving coach for 24 years, has been promoted to director of student-athlete life and director of coaches professional development, the KU athletics department announced yesterday.
Kempf will replace John Jefferson, who took an administrative position with the Washington Redskins.
The swimming program will be divided into a women's team and men's team with two coaches. Assistant coach Cathy Burgess was promoted to women's coach, and assistant coach Doug Dickinson will lead the men's program. Assistant coach Tim Chaix resigned to work in insurance with his father in California.
Kempf said the decision to split the program into men's and women's teams was a collective idea.
"Nowadays, the Big 12 is such an elite conference, if we're going to be competitive at that level, we have to pay attention to each program," Kempf said. "The last few years it was a real burden to try to keep things running in two programs at the same time."
Some former athletes and assistant coaches had charged Kempf with mistreating athletes and breaking NCAA training rules. Athletics director Bob Frederick had been considering whether to take action against Kempf since the allegations were raised in a Nov. 17 Kansan article.
However, Kempf said he had been assured of keeping his job in January. He said he learned about the director position in the past few weeks and saw it as an opportunity to spend more time with his family.
Kempf said he would have taken the position even if the team had won the Bie 12 Conference Championship.
"Because Dr. Bob Frederick gave me his approval in early January that I was going to be his coach indefinitely, I was never worried." Kempt said. "For 24 years, I've dedicated my life to raising other student athletes and their progress in life. Now, I need to give my own family the same effort."
Freshman swimmer Lyndsay Devaney said she and some of her teammates began crying yesterday when they learned Kempf and Chaix were leaving the team.
"Everyone was just sitting there with their jaws opened." Devaney said. "We were all shocked. It hasn't totally hit me because I don't know what I'm going to do yet. A group of us said we would leave if he stepped down as our coach."
Freshman Beth Schryer said Kempf and the combined team were the main reasons she came to the University. Without them, she said she would reconsider whether to return next year.
Dickinson said he was happy Kempf was promoted.
"He's been here long enough and done enough good things that he should get to leave on his own terms," he said.
Frederick could not be reached for comment, but he released a prepared statement.
statement." "Gary has given 24 years of dedicated service to the Kansas swimming and diving program," he said in the statement. "I am extremely grateful to him for all he has contributed to the success of our program and for his strong emphasis on academics."
Kempf was a six-time conference coach of the year and a member of the KU Athletics Hall of Fame. After leading his team to a seventh place finish at the 1983 NCAA meet, he was named NCAA Women's Coach of the Year.
Year.
"The position will also give me an opportunity to work with coaches, mentoring coaches, maybe providing extra care as someone to be there when they need someone," Kempf said. "There's plenty of support for athletes, but sometimes the coach needs support, too."

Mountain lions on the move
Story by Jim O'Malley Photos by Jason Dailey
Brenda Allen couldn't believe her eyes.
She and her husband, Ken, were driving down Hastie Road about a half mile south of Wakarusa Valley Elementary School last fall. There, in the gravel road, was a family of cougars.
"We saw a mother and two kittens," she said. "The mom was sitting in the road with two kittens right behind her. We looked at each other. We've seen a lot of bear back there but had never seen a cougar."
The mother was long — maybe 5,
even 6, feet long — and there wasn't
any question in Ken Allen's mind
about what it was. When he got home,
he recorded the date—Oct. 19—and
the exact location — only five miles
southwest of the University of
Kansas campus.
Cougars, pumas, panthers, catamounts, mountain lions — called by any of their many names — are reported every year to state wildlife officials. Although no one has bagged a free-roving cougar yet, Kansas wildlife experts can't dismiss some of those sights.
Cougars are out there. Some experts even think they could be wild cougars. But most wildlife experts
"I heard a hiss and then saw a mountain lion seven feet long from nose to tail. We watched each other for three or four minutes."
Tom Swearingen Natural History Museum director of exhibits
say they're probably escaped or released pets. And that's not good. Cougars raised as pets don't fear humans, increasing the chances of dangerous encounters.
A true believer
A true believer,
Tom Swearingen, director of exhibits at KU's Natural History Museum, is a believer. A life-long hunter, he has worked with wildlife exhibits at the museum for 40 years.
Swearingen saw a cougar prowling around his son's farm north of Lawrence in September 1966.
"I neared a hiss and then saw a mountain lion 7 feet long from nose to tail," he said. "We watched each other for three or four minutes."
Then the cougar bounded off into a cornfield.
Swearingen said he got a lot of calls from people who reported seeing cougars. One was sighted near Vinland, about 10 miles south of Lawrence within the past year. The Allens called him after their sighting last fall.
He also found tracks and made a plaster cast of one. The track is about 3 inches wide. Dog tracks have claws. This one doesn't.
After Swearingen found cougar tracks near Wakarusa Valley Elementary School, just outside of Lawrence, he called the principal and suggested that the kids stay out of the timber near the school to prevent a possible attack.
Terry Morgan, school secretary,
said the staff was warned to keep
their eyes open. But students weren't
told because school staff didn't want
them to become alarmed, she said.
Cougars aren't new to Kansas. They frightened people here for thousands of years until they were exterminated in 1904. But now some wildlife experts say there are probably cougars on the loose again in northeast Kansas.

Number of reported crimes down
Drinking and driving other demonstrations may have helped stats
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The KU Public Safety Office has good news for students—the number of reported crimes is down from previous years.
In 1998, 1,206 crimes were reported on the Lawrence campus, but last year only 1.094 crimes were reported.
Dede Seibel, student body vice president, said the campus safety board focused on lighting and emergency phones because of a specified fee for that purpose. She said she thought the board's efforts had helped to decrease crime.
1. 654 Crimes Witness of the KU Public Safety Office said the drop could be attributed to more involvement from the University and support from the administration of crime prevention programs.
Mailen said that programs during new student orientation and demonstrations about the dangers of drinking and driving had made a difference.
Seibel said she was introducing legislation in Student Senate that would change the name of the fee so that money could be spent in other areas, such as advertising and campus phones.
"As long as we can promote the perception that it is a safe campus, then these statistics show that," she said.

Dede Siebel
student body vice president+
The report also showed that the number of violent crimes, such as rape and assault, remained low.
"Rape is a sensitive issue," Malien said. "It's usually a female victim dealing with a male officer. We do everything we can to encourage people to come forward, regardless of what crime they've been a victim of, including rape and blas crimes."
Hate and blas crimes, which weren't
tracked until 1998, also were low. Four anti-African-American bias crimes and one anti-homosexual hate crime were reported in 1998 and 1999 combined.
Theft remains the most common crime on campus, although reports of theft have dropped. Mailen said.
"A majority of our caseload falls into unattended property like bookbags, wallets and KUIDs that are unattended for a minute or two while students go to the circulation desk at Watson or use the restroom," Mailen said. "Textbooks are popular around finals and buy-back time."
Although the use of alcohol might be more common in student housing than drugs, the numbers for drug crimes are considerably higher.
Mailen said that the Department of Student Housing dealt with alcohol issues internally, but that drug offenses usually involved the police.
Local bar closes after fire damage; students will miss favorite night spot
A fire during the early morning hours of March 21 temporarily has closed the Jet Lag Lounge. 610 Florida St.
By Katrina Hull

The lack of Lawrence upset some students returning to Lawrence from spring break.
And one less bar in Lawrence leaves an empty spot in some students' hearts — or at least an empty evening.
"You feel like you lost something," said Dan Corderman, Leesburg, Va., senior. "It was something we did every Wednesday night. I'd meet friends down there. Now, I'll stay at home probably."
But maybe not for long.
Casey Jones, a Lenexa senior whose father owns the bar, said the Jet Lag should reopen in one or two months.
An electrical short in the bar area caused the fire, said Rich Barr, a fire marshal with Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical. Damages totaled $140,000, and the fire destroyed about 50 percent of the bar, Barr said.

Dust causes false alarm at Anschutz Library
A false alarm interrupted studying at Anschutz Library last night.
The fire alarm went off shortly after 7 p.m., and the building was evacuated briefly.
Lt. Dwayne Biggerstaff of the Lawrence Fire Department said firefighters checked the area, determined it was a false alarm, and opened the building to University employees.
KU Public Safety Officer James Mulholland said dust caused one of the alarms to go off.
Michael Bidwell, Manhattan junior, was working at the circulation desk when the alarm went off.
He said last night's alarm was the shortest he's endured while working at the library.
"Twelve minutes is not bad," Bidwell said.

Traffic court updated, will resume tomorrow
After being suspended since Feb. 29, the KU traffic court now is in session.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, said the court would start hearing cases tomorrow after being temporarily suspended to streamline and update some of its policies and procedures.
She said some of the changes that might be made involved the number of judges on the traffic court board and the turnaround time for appeals.
Aaron Breitenbach, Hutchinson law student and chief justice of the appellate traffic court, said the court's procedures were developed about 20 years ago. Now, there is more traffic than when the procedures were first outlined, which creates more appeals, he said.
"The procedures of the court changed over time to adapt to those needs." Breitenbach said.
Breitenbach said the court hoped to update and clarify the rules so future courts would be in accordance with the increased traffic.

KU student arrested on various drug charges
Lawrence police arrested a 25-yearold KU student on drug charges this weekend.
Robert B. Reed, Lawrence junior,
was booked into Douglas County Jail
at 5:12 a.m. Saturday on charges of
possession of narcotics with intent to
sell, possession of drug paraphemalia
and no tax stamp.
Sgt. George Wheeler, Lawrence
said, said officers were called to
Reed's residence in the 1700 block of Kentucky Street because of a noise complaint. Officers searched Reed's house and seized a bag containing 48 grams of marijuana, rolling papers, four roaches in an ashtray and $242.
Reed was released from jail at 5:40 a.m. on $5,000 bond.

Senate opening prayer more political in nature
TOPEKA — The prayer opening the Senate session turned more political than usual.
The Rev. Roger Alford of New Salem Baptist Church offered the prayer yesterday.
"We praise you that you created this world and that we did not evolve from some cosmic slime," he said, referring to evolution.
Evolution has been a hot topic since the State Board of Education decided in August to de-emphasize its teaching in public schools.
Alford, whose church is in Winfield, Mo., also alluded to homosexuals when he said "We praise you for creating the first family of Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."
After the Senate adjourned, Sen. Paul Feleciano, D-Wichita, said the prayer was insensitive to some Kansans.
"I thought we had a policy that we would not get into areas of this nature," he said. "I think it was totally uncalled for."

MIAMI — The Justice Department threatened to take Elian Gonzalez from his Miami relatives yesterday, as a crowd gathered outside the
AUGUSTA
boy's Little Havana home, ready to form a human chain if necessary.
Gonzalez: Will
return to Cuba if relatives lose appeal
The risk of a confrontation for the 6-year-old appeared to grow as the government and the Miami relatives traded accusations. The relatives were so worried that
Attorney General Janet Reno has demanded that the Miami relatives pursue any court appeals rapidly and promise to surrender Elian for return to his father in Cuba if they lose.
Elian would be taken away that they
kent him home from school.
In an apparent effort to increase American support for their battle to keep Elian, the child's relatives last week allowed ABC's Diane Sawyer to spend two days with Elian. The result was his first extended interview, which aired yesterday on "Good Morning America."
Clinton fails to start peace talks during tour

Three hours of face-to-face negotiations with Assad, the first lengthy exchange between the two leaders in six years, failed Sunday to restart the talks between Israel and Syria that broke down in Shepherdstown, W.Va., in mid-January.

Workers uncover bodies from cult's mass grave
RUGAZI, Uganda — Prison laborers dug layer-by-layer in rotting corpses yesterday, pulling dozens of bodies from a mass grave at a sugar-cane field — the third scene of carnage linked to a doomsday cult.
The laborers unearthed 73 bodies, including 24 children and babies, from the field belonging to a defrocked Catholic priest who was one of the sect leaders. The grim discovery brings the number of cult-related deaths that police have confirmed to 562 since a March 17 fire in a makeshift church.
Some of the bodies recovered Monday bore stab wounds, and others had pieces of cloth wrapped tightly around their throats. They appeared to have been dead at least a month.

Number of government workers more than reported, scholar says
By Erinn R. Barcomb

Kansani staff Kansian writer
The federal bureaucracy appears to be getting smaller, but it isn't, said Paul Light, a public service scholar from Washington, D.C., yesterday in a presentation to a group of faculty and graduate students at Blake Hall.
Right said he estimated the number of people doing government work was closer to 17 million as opposed to the 1.9 million workers who are actual federal employees.
"I was interested in seeing how we do all these things Americans want while shrinking the federal budget," Light said.
Civilian contracts and grants are making the federal government appear smaller, he said. Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said he saw an opportunity for the
University of Kansas community to benefit from Light's research.
"He has a nice combination of expertise, so he has a lot of experience on grants and grant-making activities." Loomis said.
He said that although there seemed to be a push to make the government bureaucracy smaller, it probably wouldn't be a big issue in the presidential elections.
"I think that it has been a policy concern, but it's not a very sexy issue either," Loomis said. An interview with Light will be broadcast at 10 a.m. today on KCUR-FM radio, and he will speak at 4 p.m. about grants and funding at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union.
Light's visit is sponsored by the Robert J. Dole Institute for Public Service and Public Policy, and is underwritten by FMC Corp. of Lawrence.

The KU Public Safety Office responded to a medical emergency at 5:47 a.m. yesterday at McColum Hall. A visitor was complaining of severe stomach cramps and spasms. Paramedics transported the patient to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
A cordless drill, reciprocating saw, charger and case were stolen between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. Thursday from the KU Child Care Facility construction site, in the 1600 block of Irving Hill Road, the KU Public Safety Office said. The tools were valued at $500.

Lawrence woman struck by train
Bv Mindie Miller
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A 27-year-old female Lawrence resident was hit by a train about 7:50 last night while sitting in her car on railroad tracks north of Lawrence.
Lt. David Cobb of the Lawrence Police Department said police were investigating the incident as an attempted suicide. He said the woman's family members had found a note indicating her intentions.
The engineer of the Union Pacific train saw the woman's car from about half a mile away, honked the horn and applied the emergency break. Cobb said. The train struck the vehicle, which was facing east on
railroad tracks, located just west of the intersection of U.S. Highways 59 and 24/40 at Riverfront Park.
The car landed just to the east of the tracks. Emergency crews used the Jaws of Life to extricate the woman.
Cobb said that the woman may have been under the influence of some medication and that she appeared to have suffered internal injuries. He said she was responsive and that he expected her to survive.
AFTER THE CAR CUTTERED OFF, FIREFIGHTERS REMOVED IT FROM THE WALL.
The woman was taken by helicopter at 8:30 p.m. to the University of Kansas Medical Center. A hospital representative said last night that she could not release any information about the woman's condition.

Swingers, Go director encourages creativity
Filmmaker discusses Web power, new film
By Mike Hoffman
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff-writer
Doug Liman, director of Swingers and Go, discussed everything from his adventures making films to the film he currently is working on in front of a crowd of about 400 last night in Budig Hall.
Liman, 33, talked about his struggles getting ahead in the movie business. He said a constant problem was getting enough money to make the movies.
He told prospective filmmakers to keep trying and not to get discour
aged when facing troubles, such as getting scripts rejected. Liman said it was a huge challenge to craft a solid screenplay that was emotionally satisfying to the audience.
He talked about the growing power of the Internet and its ability to open doors for aspiring filmmakers. Through the Internet, Liman said, more people are able to create their own works, and more people can see those works.
He said his company, Nibblebox, let students send in ideas for Internet films and then worked with them to develop those ideas.
Liman spoke highly of the University of Kansas.
"I heard good things about this campus," he said. "We only go to schools where we think there are creative,
innovative students who have good ideas. Places like this school are where someone will break out of the
mold and make something great."
something great.
Liman also spoke about his upcoming film, The Bourne Identity , which is based on a Robert Ludlum novel and features Brad Pitt.
"It's a very irreverent, hip spy movie," he said. "It's an anti-James Bond flick."
Students said the lecture was engaging.
Limon: Spoke highly of the University of Kansas

Adam Ward, Olathe junior, said. "It's nice to know that there is something out there like Nibblebox for struggling film majors."
Adam McCoy, Tulsa, Okla., junior,
he said he was encouraged by Liman.
"It was good to hear that not every thing went smoothly at first," he said "He had some troubles of his own."
Hashinger Hall Spring Arts Week kicks off today

writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
If it looks as though Hashinger Hall has warped back into the '60s today, that's because it has.
The Hippie Freak Fest, which begins at 1 p.m. today on the Hashinger porch, kicks off this year's six-day Hashinger Hall Spring Arts Week with everything from tie-dying to sidewalk chalk, said Nick Schmitz, an Oatlie senior and assistant complex director of building.
Sarah Homan, Overland Park freshman and a coordinator of the event, said anyone could participate in the reincarnation of the hippie era.
"It's a little Woodstock-on-concrete rendition," Homan said. "We'll even have good, old-fashioned Kool-Aid."
The residents of Hashinger, which is considered the creative arts residence hall, annually play host to this art event, said Scott Strawn, Hashinger complex director.
"It is the hallmark of the year, which
is why we always do it in the spring." Strawn said. "And the students are the driving force behind the week because they do all the planning."
The purpose of the week's events is to promote creativity, imagination and an appreciation for art, Homan said. All of the events are free, and everyone is invited to attend.
"We welcome anything creative, anything artistic." Homan said. "Basically, when it comes to Hash, the dorm is so diverse and so accepting of anything that floats your boat."
tomorrow's art exhibit will display about 100 pieces, ranging from sculptures and textiles to drawings and water paintings. Homan said. She also said there would be art tables available for those who wanted to create their own masterpieces.
For the artistically impaired, Thursday night offers a chance to recite poetry, play music or do whatever comes to mind at the Sneaky Pete's Coffee/Open Mic in the Hashinger theater, Homan said.
"We welcome anything creative, anything artistic. Basically, when it comes to Hash, the dorm is so diverse and so accepting of anything that floats your boat."

Friday there will be the encore presentation of the Vagina Monologues
"I think it would be great to run it again and get out a message about freedom of the body." Homan said of the play that was presented for Valentine's Day. "And I think it will be a real big hit again."
SPRING ARTS WEEK
weekend events are from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday with a carnival at the Hashinger theater, and the event will wrap up from 9 to 12 p.m. Sunday with Band Night at the theater.
Hippie Freak Fest: 1 to 5 p.m. today at the Hushberg Hall porch

Saturday at the Hashinger theater
Road Night 8 o'm to girdight at
Band Night: 9 p.m. to midnight at the Hashinger theater
When all is said and done, Homan said she hoped the week would offer a new. artistic outlook on life.
"There should be a greater appreciation of life and what it has to offer in so many different ways through performance, art and fun." Homan said.
City Commission to hear proposal for student input
By John Audlehelm writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Although they probably will not have seats reserved for them on the city's advisory boards. University of Kansas students still may find a way to provide input to the Lawrence City Commission.
At tonight's meeting, Michael Henry, community affairs director for Student Senate and Overland Park senior, will tell the commission how students have been involved in local governments at other universities, such as the
City Commission
University of Iowa in Iowa City and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, in hopes that the University of Kansas can do something similar.
Henry last came before the commission in January to ask for student-reserved seats on 12
city advisory boards. Mayor Erv Hodges said he did not want to reserve seats for a particular group — in this case, students. He said he did not think students effectively could serve the full three-year terms.
But the commission did support student involvement and asked Henry to research other ways to achieve it.
Under the University of Iowa system, student and city officials meet twice a semester to discuss issues of mutual concern. Henry said.
"It's basically a kickaround board," he said.
The Iowa system operated during the '70s and '80s and has since disappeared, Henry said, but the North Carolina system still is in operation.
Chapel Hill city officials contact North Carolina's student senate when there is an

opening on a city advisory board, he said. Students then compete for senate's recommendation, but the mayor makes the final decision.
Henry said that North Carolina students still could apply directly to the mayor if they were interested in serving on city advisory boards and that the student senate recommendation did not give students an unfair advantage.
Hodges said he preferred the Iowa system.
"I don't think it gives an unfair advantage, simply because a lot of mayors in the past have not looked to students as resources," he said.
"I think it's more useful," he said. "I think we need to formalize it so it doesn't just fade away."
need to formalize it so it doesn't just fade away." But under the Iowa system, the agendas for the city/student meetings are set by the students — and Hodges said he didn't agree with this.
City Manager Mike Wilden said he liked the systems as ways for the City Commission to receive more input.
"Some amended version of either of these might work fine," he said. "I think the mayor and the other commissioners will be receptive to some of these ideas."

Smart guns, safety locks good step but ban on handguns better option
The recent school shooting of a six-year-old in Michigan again has ignited the issue of gun safety.
The death of a child in a school shooting has become an all-too-familiar headline. The Columbine High School deaths last year in Littleton, Colo., led to a focus on new gun legislation and put a significant amount of blame on the National Rifle Association.
While the heated debate between President Bill Clinton and the NRA rolls on, other organizations are taking strides toward improving gun safety.
Smith & Wesson, one of the largest U.S. manufacturers of handguns, has agreed to include gun locks on every weapon it sells. Its plans include the
U.S. government's agreement with Smith & Wesson is stride toward improving gun safety
introduction of "smart gun" technology, which allows weapons to be fired only by their owners. It is hoped that such measures will decrease the number of gun-related deaths.
Smith & Wesson is to be commended for its efforts in gun safety. Its plans are effective steps toward a violence-free nation. Gun locks and smart gun technology are promising measures in preventing both accidental and purposeful
deaths. The enforcement of back ground checks should lower the num ber of firearms sold to convicted felons
But realistically, as long as guns exist, so will senseless killing. Clinton, the NRA and every U.S. citizen should focus on the priority of saving lives rather than the right to carry firearms. Inevitably, children and adults alike will find ways to disable safety locks on handguns. Until there is a nationwide ban on handguns, the problems we face always will be present.
It is time for the nation to take a step back and decide which is more important — the right to carry a weapon for individual empowerment or saving the lives of its children.
Tabatha Beerbower for the editorial board
Student government not just a hobby
Candidates for Student Senate should enter the race with complete sincerity and devotion.
Students should not give attention or consideration to candidates who view attaining a Senate seat as a form of recreation to be dealt with frivolously at their leisure. Senate is a commitment and should be reserved for those who wish to do what it takes to make a positive impact on campus.
This should be the case for all potential candidates, not just an aspiring student athlete in particular. However, there are some things Eric Chenowith should consider if he is to be involved in student politics: the art of tactful speech, rhetoric and simply speaking thoughtfully.
Statements about the frivolity with which one views Senate participation aren't going to cut it.
The difference, at least on face.
Students should use their votes to stop half-hearted candidates from entering Student Senate
between a candidate like Chenowith and a coalition like the Resume Builders is that the latter, while using a mocking message of apathy, might actually care about Senate. On the other hand, Chenowith seems to have made it quite clear that his contribution to Senate would be half-hearted at most.
Sadly, on this campus, it probably wouldn't make any difference if candidates said they had no plans to attend any of the meetings. As long as they were popular enough, a victory probably wouldn't be out of reach.
contest and a melodramatic fantasy world for those who wish to play the part would be incorrect. There are those who honestly get involved with a desire to make a change for the better. Some apathetic pessimists may disagree, but it's unfortunate that students feel an athlete's voice and participation in Senate is more likely to be taken seriously than any other devoted senator's.
To say that Senate is a popularity
KU athletics officials should help ensure that student athletes have the opportunity and encouragement to attend their classes, participate in student organizations and be active members of the campus community. This way, candidates like Chenowith would not be able to use athletics as an excuse for a lack of devotion to Senate.
In any case, student voters should not let half-hearted candidates win Senate seats.

Wading through inbox begs for e-mail etiquette
I scrolled through the long list and immediately deleted the junk mail, including sales-oriented gimmicks. The first to go were ones with subject lines such as "luxury for you."
such as "jennifer Love Hewitt NAKED!!!" (I have no idea who sends me these things anyway.) The next were those in the genre of "Attention Homeowners! — EZ Locks; Fast Approv.
Dozens of messages filled my e-mail inbox Sunday when I checked it for the first time in more than a week.
Lori
O'Otoole
columnist
opinionandkanan.com
The purpose of the next scroll-through was to weed out some of the forwarded messages. The ones such as "100 reasons why men are dumber than women" and "We are children of the 90%" were sent into cyberspace trash without a peek.
My e-mail organization
process, complete with random attachments and several virus warnings, was tiring and timely. But it wasn't the multitude of messages that annoyed me — it was the ones that were cluttered with copied text, smiley faces and lists of other people's e-mail addresses.
Sure, e-mail is wonderful. It's free and simple, and I use it on a daily basis. (Spring break was an exception.) But it's supposed to be quick, and I'm sure I'm not the only one annoyed by maddening cyberspace habits, which is why I try to be conscience of e-mail etiquette (sometimes referred to as "Netiquette") before I send my messages.
There are several Web sites devoted solely to e-mail "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts." The following email tips can save your correspondents' sanity as well as making messages to employers or professors more professional:
■ Abbreviations: Too many ambiguous ones are confusing and ineffective because it takes the recipient twice as long to decipher the abridement rather than actually read the fully spelled-out phrase. Some I've previously disentangled include BCNU (be seeing you), FWIW (for what's worth) and ROTFL (rolling on the floor laughing).
- Broken threads. This occurs when an e-mail recipient replies to the sender by creating a new message rather than using the "reply" option on a computer. For example, if I sent my friend an email with "car" as the subject line, I would easily recognize her response when I see "RE; car" in my inbox.
Stick with the commonly known ones, such as FYL
Length: Keep it concise and to the point.
■ Punctuation: E-mail authors often omit it, making messages extremely confusing. On the other extreme, they can become punctuation-happy, especially with exclamation points. This can become very exasperating!!!!!! Use only what's necessary to express the message.
■ Quotes: This is usually text that sends type and that is returned to them. For example, if e-mailed a professor and asked, "When is the test?" he or she would only need to reply "Monday" rather than copying my question in the message. It would read: >> When is the test?
Usually, senders don't need to be reminded of what they said, and it can add a lot of clutter, especially when the original e-mail was more lengthy than one question.
Smiley faces:
evolved into multiple faces, meant to convey a particular emotion, including the winker
and the laugher
Do:
■ Upper case. IN THE WORLD OF E-MAILS, TYPING IN ALL IN UPPER-CAPS IS ÉQUIVALENT TO SCREAMING. (Ouch!) Unless that is the intention, stick with the traditionally accepted format.
They can be kind of cute when used appropriately which is almost never. Use sparingly.
These small elements make e-mails easier and more enjoyable to read. Cleaner, more straightforward e-mails also have a greater chance of actually being read rather than instantly dumped into a cyber trash bin.

Students' comfort utopia disastrous for KU's future
He said the University should be geared toward comfort and relaxation. Chenwith wanted students to feel at ease while they researched at the library or sat through a lecture.
The University of Kansas — perched atop Mount Oread — is an unusual campus. After 13 students died of heart attacks in the year 2025 from walking up the hill, then Cancellor Eric Chenowith said he had had cough

five places on campus to allow students to ride to the top of the hill, as not to over-exhaust themselves. He ordered moving sidewalks similar to those found at large airports to be laid out across campus — weaving from building to building with some portions indoors. Students no longer needed bikes, and the buses quit shuttling students.
University officials — with the help of KU alumnus and billionaire donor Terry Nooner — became devoted to improving student morale. Free massage sessions, tutors and an improved selection of fast food restaurants were added at the Kansas Union. Dr Pepper finally was added to the vending machines, and liquid soap replaced the scratchy powder soap in campus bathrooms. Potter Lake became a swim park extravaganza with clean water, slides and a sun deck. Students

could swim year-round, thanks to the glass dome.
Enrollment doubled, and the University accommodated. Students graduated from high school early, just so they could attend the University. Campus housing, by the way, also changed to include larger suites, room service and other hotel-like accommodations. The students thought it was great
Gradually, the plan began to backfire. Ten years later in 2035, the average grade point average began to drop. Students were so stress-free that the thought of reading a single chapter was tiring. Some students gained weight because they weren't walking up the hill, and others just let the computers do everything for them. One student fell off a ski-lift. One drowned in Potter Lake. And one was knocked out when he accidentally walked into the glass dome wall. He didn't know it was there.
KU graduates found it difficult to get jobs. Company executives and CEOs laughed when they saw a KU student's application. The students were known for being lazy. All they did was complain about things — such as having to walk or missine regular massages.
They quit complaining about the long cement stairs they walked on up the hill. They quit complaining about the windy Kansas weather and the unpredictable classroom temperatures. They even were pleased when their tuition and fees began to decrease.
In 2006, Chancellor Raef LaFrentz began to evaluate the way his school was run. The students wanted everything to stay at their beloved campus, but LaFrentz knew better. Down came the glass dome and ski-lifts. Students suffered from frostbite during the winter and from weak ankles when they started walking up the hill again, but LaFrentz persevered.
The escalators were removed and so were the recliners and water slides. Some students cried. For the first time since the early 2000s, some students became stressed. Many found comfort when they studied for class or attended a lecture. And soon, they began to forget about the massages and free bottled water.
Now, in 2038, the KU campus somewhat resembles what it looked like back in the good of' days when LaFrentz was a student. Most of the students learned how to make do and appreciate what they had.
In the end, former-Chancellor Chenowith admitted that he never should have attempted to upgrade the campus. It was just fine the way it was.

In reference to the March 6 editorial about sexual assault services, I'd like to point out the Douglas County Rape Victim Survivor Service, a 247 rape crisis center partially financed by Student Senate and founded on campus in 1973.
RVSS advocates are available to assist male and female survivors of sexual assault and their families, friends and partners; provide information; speak to rape survivors; and accompany them to the hospital, court or police station. All services are free and confidential. RVSS works with several campus off-

Spring break sex spreads disease
By Wanisa Chulindra
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
During spring break, some University of Kansas students may have had multiple sexual partners.
And some of those students may have had too much to drink and not used protection, leaving them vulnerable to contracting sexually transmitted diseases.
In past years, genital warts and chlamydia were the most common sexually transmitted diseases KU students had returned with from spring break.
Sandy Hadl, registered nurse at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the center was required to report cases of gonorrhea and chlamydia to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. She said it also reported cases of herpes, although it was not required.
When students are treated, staff members must fill out forms stating they have been treated for the sexually transmitted disease and submit it to KDHE.
She said Watkins staff would continue to contact students until they came in for treatment. If students are not treated within a week, they will be contacted by KDHE.
"Our main concern is if the patient comes in for treatment," Hadl said.
Hadl said.
The treatment for chlamydia is taking two pills a day for 10 days. Sexual partners also must be treated at the same time, otherwise the one being treated could contract the disease again from the person not being treated. If the partner is not a KU student, Watkins staff can help them find local assistance.
Sexually transmitted diseases
Derek Coppedge, KDHE chlamydia coordinator, said people should get tested for sexually transmitted diseases if they showed any symptoms.
STD STUDIO symptoms treatment
Chlamydia Often no symptoms are present. Women-pain or dull aching from cervix, heavy feeling in pelvic area, pain with urination or intercourse, heavier menstrual flow, pruritic bleeding, heavier cervical discharge. Men-urethral discharge, pain with urination, epididymitis.
Genitalitis Usually no symptoms, but external lesions may itch. Lesions on the skin can be either standing up from the skin or flat. Lesions on the cervix cannot be seen by the naked eye. May be asymptomatic, but usually characterized by moderate to severe lower abdominal pain, fever, chills, and possibly bowel symptoms. May mimic other acute lower abdominal conditions. Treatment with antibiotics with broad coverage. Must always cover for chlamydia and sexually transmitted diseases require hospitalization. Partners must be treated at the same time.
"Men may have discharge from the penis or swollen testicles," Coppeged said. "They do not have a

lot of complications because the first time they see discharge they usually get it checked out."
However, Coppedge said it was not uncommon for women to be hospitalized for pelvic inflammatory disease, which may accompany chlamydia. He said the disease was characterized by flu-like symptoms.
KDHE also provides confidential notification to sexual partners. Coppedge said they would contact the partner, but not tell them whom they contracted the sexually transmitted disease from.
"We definitely try to counsel and talk to people about their diseases and get them to talk to their partner," he said.
Local bar closes to rebuild after fire damage

"I think structurally the building is in pretty good shape," Barr said. "The damage was to all the furnishings. There was fire damage to about half (of the furnishings) and smoke and heat damage to the rest."
Continued from page 1A
Jones said his father had been collecting the sports memorabilia in the bar for at least the last 16 years.
The damage inside, however, may be the hardest to repair.
"It's pretty disappointing." Jones said. "Everything is gone. The saddest part is probably all the different memories lost."
or others, news of the fire meant unemployment. Ross Larpi, a Leawood junior and Jet Lag bartender, found out late Saturday night that he might be broke for a while.
"I was upset to lose a job," Liparl said. "I was planning on coming back from spring break and earning some money. I don't know what I am going to do."
The loss is doubly upsetting for Lipari, who used to hang out at the Jet Lag before becoming a bartender. "A lot of people are going to miss it." Lipari said. "I'll have a good hen."
"A lot of people are going to miss it," Lipari said. "It was a good bar."
in the meantime, Corderman has a Jet Lag bumper sticker to remember the good times.
"It says, 'Meet me at the Jet Lag.'" he said. "If it opens again before I graduate, I'll be there on opening night."
Students must balance work after vacation

For most University of Kansas students, the first day back from spring break was like any other Monday. It was difficult to wake up and go to class.
"It was hard to wake up," said Courtney Rowland, Wichita junior. "But it's always hard to wake up on Monday. I went to all my classes. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things."
While the first days back may be difficult, students soon should fall back into their usual schedules, said John Wade, staff psychologist and outreach coordinator at Counseling and Psychological Services.
Stacey Love, Overland Park junior, took a road trip to San Antonio to visit a friend during spring break. She returned Sunday night.
"It it was nice and relaxing," Love said. "I just wish it was longer. It's hard adjusting, though. It's colder here, and my mind is still there."
Wade said rather than planning for each day as it comes, students should plan ahead.
Some students may have set unrealistic goals for spring break and fallen short of those goals, he said. And some students may have fallen behind.
"If you are behind, ask yourself what you can realistically do and prioritize," Wade said. "Which may mean you can't do the same level as work as you usually do, but on more important assignments, that's where you can put more energy."
Wade also advised students to keep things in perspective and to maintain a balanced life.
"Ask yourself if it will matter five years from now," he said. "It will matter if you flunk out of every class, but it won't if you get a C instead of a B on a test."
Exercising, taking small study breaks and getting enough sleep also are important, Wade said.
But some students said they didn't mind catching up this week.
"Spring break is supposed to be a break," Keith Hyde, Lawrence junior, said. "So I didn't crack a book."
Instead, Hyde worked, and now he has a lot of reading to do in macrosociology, western civilization and biology.
"When you're in school, you look forward to break," Hyde said. "And when you're on break, you look forward to school."

Wild or not, mountain lions may be a potential danger

Continued from page 1A
Thor Holmes is collection manager at KU's Natural History Museum. His training as a biologist makes him a professional skeptic. But he said reports kept coming in from credible observers such as Swearingen,
Escaped pets
"He knows a big cat when he sees one," Holmes said. "Probably there are some big cats out there."
He said Kansas is a much better place to be a mountain lion than it was 50 years ago. There are more deer, and more and thicker woods.
Holmes said any big cats in northeast Kansas were probably escaped or released pets. But he wouldn't rule out a natural population of cougars. There are wild cougars living in Oklahoma, and heavily wooded river valleys such as the Kaw are excellent corridors for the movement of wildlife.
Marty Birrell, director of the Prairie Park Nature Center in Lawrence, is convinced there are cougars on the loose in rural northeast Kansas.
"There's no doubt about that," she said. "We've taken casts of their tracks."
State wildlife officials are skeptical. They say most of the big cat reports are bogus.
But in the last 15 years, cougar sightings have increased, said Bill Busby, associate scientist with the Kansas Biological Survey. Busby said it would take good photos or a dead cougar to get the state to confirm a sighting. The lack of road-killed cougars is what makes him skeptical. Motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of cougar deaths.
There are areas in northeast Kansas where cougars could survive, Busby admitted. Any place with a substantial deer population and cover, from which the big cats could ambush prey, could support them.
"They might be here, or they might not be," Busby concluded.
Christiane Roy, fur-bearer biologist with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, gets a lot of cougar reports in her office, too. She said any cougars in Kansas are probably escaped or released pets. A lot of people in the state breed
cougars and keep them as pets, and she doesn't think wild cougars are migrating across the Great Plains from the Rocky Mountains.
Charles Lee, a wildlife specialist with K-State Research and Extension in Manhattan, Kan., said the state couldn't support a breeding population of the big cats. They need too big a range — about 100 square miles — and there aren't enough big wild areas in Kansas to sustain a cougar population. There are too many roads and too many people.
But that doesn't stop the sightings from rolling in. Lee gets about one a week.
Lee agreed it's possible that what people are seeing are escaped pet cougars.
Sightings to continue
"Go into any bar or coffee shop and they'll tell you." he said.
But, whatever the reason, Lee expects the reports to continue.
After a drink or two, some will even tell you that state wildlife officers are releasing wild cougars to control the state's growing deer herd.
Bob Mathews, chief of information and education for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, said the rumors were absurd.
"We'd be tarred and feathered if we tried to import wild mountain lions into the state," he said.
Rob Ladner, enforcement supervisor for the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, asked, "Where
For additional information about mountain lions, including audio and video clips from the KUJH broadcast See www.kansan.com or www.digitaljayhawk.org
More information
are we going to get that many mountain lions?"
Issuing more deer licenses would be safer and raise money, he said.
And predators don't control prey populations, anyway, said Prairie Park Nature Center's Birrell. When prey populations decline, predator numbers go down too. So releasing wild cougars wouldn't control the size of the deer herd.
If anyone is releasing cougars in Kansas, it's pet owners, said Kevin Kuenzi, a veterinarian in Perry who treats pet cougars.
Even declawed cougars are dangerous, Kuenzi said, and could survive in the wild. He knows his patients' strength from treating them
"People in their stupidity release them," Kuenzi said. "They think Perry and Clinton lakes are a good place for them."
"I've had a few times when I was worried about getting out of the cage—and they were just playing." he said. "You're sure not going to outrun one. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody got hurt."
The state doesn't prohibit ownership of cougars but many counties and cities, including Lawrence, do. And it's illegal to release them, said Rob Ladner, law enforcement supervisor for the Department of Wildlife and Parks.
Nevertheless, exotic animals such as cougars are readily available in Kansas and Missouri, said Lynn Halford, animal control officer with the Topeka Police Department.
State officials said there were 70 to 80 people with state permits to breed cougars.
Why state law permits this industry is not clear. Wildlife experts all agree that people should not keep cougars as pets. Cougars are hard to handle and zoos don't need any
Mountain lion sightings near Lawrence
Arletta Flory, Overbrook resident, spends a lot of time on the horseback riding trails near Clinton Lake. She has seen cougars several times during the past five or six years near the southwest end of the lake. Her most recent sighting was last fall. She also has seen half-eaten deer partially covered with dirt, which is consistent with cougar behavior.
Tom Sweairingen's neighbor, Jeff Kurtz, saw a cougar near the Lawrence airport about the same time as Sweairingen's sifting.
■ John Hughes, another neighbor of Swearingen's, didn't see the cougar, but heard what he was sure was the screech of a cougar.
Jean Anderson saw a cougar near her home by Perry Lake about a year-and-a-half ago. She said she knew something was out there.
"The woods exploded with deer," she said.
Then she saw a cougar.
"At first I thought it was the longest dog I ever saw in my life," Anderson said.
But then she realized it wasn't a dog, but a bit cat.
"When I got home, her eyes were big," Price said.
Anderson's neighbor, Linda Price, took plaster casts of couragTrack near her home in May 1996. The courag visited while she was cut, but her daughter saw it.
"The scary thing is you can't hear
William Bailey, an orthopedic surgeon in Lawrence, saw a cougar as he drove on Douglas County Road 458 near Clinton Lake about four years ago. He said he was sure it was a cougar.
Her daughter told her she had just seen a cougar. They found tracks that were three-and-a-half inches wide and lacked claw marks — classic cougar tracks.
more cougars.
"I think there's one or two of them out there," he said
Although wildlife experts have yet to confirm that cougars are living in Kansas, they agree that if they are, there is some risk to humans. Attacks on people have increased as people have moved into cougar habitat in the West. Running may trigger at attack because that's what a cougar's favorite meal, deer, does.
Earlier this month, Birrrell had Nikita, a young male cougar abandoned by his owner, at Prairie Park Nature Center until she found him a permanent home.
But the two-and-a-half foot-long, 30-pound cat was very interested in the joggers and dogs on the running trails by the nature center. His ears perked up and he leaned forward when they went by.
"They have instinctive hunting behavior," Birrell said. "Those that don't starve are going to be the cream of the crop of the released cougar population."
Nikita was seized by police in Topeka. He had hardly ever been outdoors, and like most pet cougars, his front claws had been removed.
But Nancy Schwarting, director of Wildcare, a wildlife rehabilitation organization in Douglas County, didn't think declawed former pets could survive. She thinks cougars are probably out there but that they're wild cougars.
these guys coming," Birrell said.
And released pets could be more dangerous than wild cougars because they're used to people and don't fear them.
All that notwithstanding, the risk is statistically small. Lynn Sadler, executive director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in California, said that in the past 100 years, cougars have killed only 16 people. In the same period, 300 people have been killed by bees, 150 by dogs, and 100 by rattlesnakes.
"Even spiders, goats and jellyfish pose a greater risk than cougars," she said.
Although the risk may be statistically insignificant, Sadler admitted, "It's significant if it happens to you."
Birrell agreed that cougars aren't a real safety risk for outdoor recreation in Kansas yet.
"But there's definitely something instinctive about the fear of being eaten," she said. We're definitely below the coumar on the food chain."
Whether cougars have really returned to Kansas fascinates people, Holmes said. It's the most common question he gets when he gives a wildlife presentation, whether the audience is professors or Cub Scouts.
"Big cats are sexy," he said. "It's an adrenaline rush to see a mountain lion."

Penn State, UConn proceed to finals

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Penn State point guard Helen Darling visualized how she would perform against Louisiana Tech, she never imagined this.
She focused on not committing turnovers. Last season, Darling blamed herself for the loss to the Lady Techsters.
"There's nobody like Helen," said Penn State coach Rene Portland. "If she's not a Kodak All American, I'm going to be crushed."
But Darling had plenty of help from her teammates. Portland said all season that this team would take her to the Final Four, and she was right.
In a 86-65 victory against the Midwest's top seed, Darling exceeded her expectations, scoring 15 points and dishing 2 assists. She was named Most Outstanding Player.
The game staged close for the first 10 minutes of the first half, but with 6:25 remaining, Penn State guard Lisa Shepherd, who scored 20 of her game-high 25 points in the first half, hit three consecutive three-pointers, giving the Lady Lions a 13-point lead.
"When Lisa hit three in a row, I thought, 'We are going to win this game. Keep shooting, Lisa.' Darling said.
Penn State continued its first-half run, opening with 12 points in the second half, storming to a 25 point lead, its largest of the game.
Though Louisiana Tech had a few spurs left, it never came close enough to worry the Lady Lions.
The win sends the team to Portland's first Final Four, and the final games will be played in Philadelphia, home of the Lady Lions.
"We've been talking about this and talking about this
Women's NCAA Tournament
since the beginning of the year," said center Andrea Garner. "All I can say is, we're going home."
While Penn State looks to the future, the Lady Techsters had to say goodbye to coach Leon Barmore, who announced his retirement after an 18-year coaching career at Louisiana Tech.
"Coach Barmore has done some great things for this program, and these players will miss what he brings to the game," said senior guard Tamicha Jackson. "They will miss his determination to get the best out of you."

Golfers lead invitational
Men ahead by 18 after two rounds

It seems the only thing that could keep the Kansas men's golf team from winning the Colorado-Stevinson Ranch Invitational today would be one of those west-coast natural disasters.
And even that might not be enough.
the Jayhawks lead the nearest school by 18 strokes after their highest four finishers carded a combined 572 (-4) in yesterday's first two rounds in Stevenson, Calif.
The host Colorado Buffaloes begin today's third and fourth rounds with the task of chipping away at the Kansas lead after finishing at +14. Colorado is the only school in the 14 team field with a reasonable shot at catching the Jayhawks, who also hold the top two individual spots.

"I played pretty well all day long," said junior Conrad Roberts, overall leader. "It just seemed to hit in all the right spots, especially on the greens. Even on my bad shots, I missed on the best sides of the greens and left myself in good position."
Those bad shots were far and far between as Roberts shot a first-round 69 and second-round 73. He leads senior teammate Ryan Vermeer by one stroke.
"This was a good team effort," said Kansas coach Ross Randall. "I was really happy for Jake Itnick. That was a great effort to come back with a 69 in the afternoon."
Even the Jayhawks who didn't ultimately figure into the team standings were able to play well — especially Isnick, a senior, who shot his 69 after a dismal 81 in the first round.

Women's rowing team spends spring break in training
"It just seems like we play very well here," Randall said. "We like the golf course. I wish we could take it with us."
By Shawn Linenberger
The Kansas rowing team's spring break was spent in the South, and, although it was far from a relaxing week on the beach, the 'Hawks no doubt enjoyed the trip by winning their first race of the spring season against Tula.

ports@kansan.com
The Jayhawks' busy itinerary started with spring training at Natchitoches, La., March 20 through Friday. The team had practices two times a day, three hours each in the morning and afternoon, except March 21, when practice was canceled because of rain. The Jayhawks also scrimmaged Drake University while in Natchitoches.
Natchmones:
"It it was a really good week," said coach Rob Catloth. "There was a lot of rowing. I thought the women learned a great deal."
Kansas, ranked 23rd nationally, rowed against Tulsa Saturday, sweeping the Golden Hurricane in four events. Jayhawk boats finished first in all events, including the first varsity's commanding win. Kansas finished roughly seven seconds ahead of Tulsa in the 2,000 meter race, with a 5:10.3 mark. Tulsa's time was 5:17.21.
Tulaa, Okla., Saturday for the fun part of the week.
From Louisiana, the Jayhawks traveled to
Although a strong wind made condition abnormal, Catloth was pleased with the wins
"The current was so fast that times were faster," Catloth said. "Our margin of win was negated by the current. For the conditions there were, we competed well."
Senior rower Kristi Dubiel said having spring training before the season's first race — instead of after, such as in previous years — was good.
Although spring training was hectic, Dubiel
said she enjoyed the week.
"It was a nice change of scenery and a different river to row on," she said. "I had a nice tan, but a lot of tan lines."
The Jayhawks will plunge into tougher waters this Saturday in a critical triangular regatta at Iowa City, Iowa, against 16th-ranked Iowa and Tennessee. Iowa has been a big rival for Kansas. Last year, the Jayhawks and Hawkeyes squared off three times. The Jayhawks won once, but each race was decided by three seconds or less.
"We have a really big weekend," Catloth said. "This race has a lot to do with how our season goes. Iowa's in our regional, and they're one spot away from who goes to nationals."
Cathot was referring to Iowa's No. 16 ranking in the USRowing Coaches Poll. The Top 15 teams in the final poll advance to the NCAA Championships in May.

Neither editor nor Dick Vitale will eat words
It's amazing how things get around.
"This is he."
"Mike. Dick Vitale."
The week before spring break, I'm sitting in the Kansan newsroom reading stories when I get a phone call. I pick up the receiver and I hear this loud, boisterous, somewhat recognizable voice on the other end ask for Mike Miller.
Mike Burrstein
My brain's reeling, and I'm wondering what the hell is going on when I realize what's about to happen.
1
About three weeks ago, I wrote a column about Vitale expressing my thoughts about Dickie V's relentless and noisy flair. I thought the column was fair — maybe a little harsh. I did call him a stagnant old man — because it pointed out his shortcomings, yet praised his enthusiasm for college basketball.
It also expressed my disbelief of Vitale's praising of coach Roy Williams' job with this year's team. During the Kansas-Texas game, Vitale said that "Roy Williams has done a masterful job to win 21 games with this club." I may be playing the part of spoiled fan, but this year, Kansas was decent, sometimes good and sometimes great. With this talented group of players, it's what we've come to expect of Roy.
So there I sat, wondering how Vitale came across a column written by a college student. (He said that a fan sent it to him). But more importantly, I wondered if I would be able to get a word in edgewise.
I managed to get out my friendliest, "Dick, how are you?" when the phone exploded.
"You tell me Mike! I've got this column sitting here in front of me, and I can't believe what I'm reading. I know that you're a college kid that's trying to make his mark, but you're printing stuff that just isn't true! I never said Roy did a marvelous job. I said it's amazing that he's averaged 28 wins a year!"
That took about 10 seconds, and it was only the beginning. Of course, all those sentences could be one run-on sentence, because I don't think he took one breath during that whole spiel.
I had to hold the receiver away from my ear as I desperately tried to find the volume control on the phone. I finally shouted back that I heard him say Roy did a fantastic job and tried to ignore the bewildered stares of everyone else in the newsroom. (It's not every day that a person gets to vell at a celebrity on the phone.)
"I never said that," he said. "You send me the tape. You send me a copy of that tape, and I'll eat my words!"
So after a few more minutes of wrangling, I tell him I'm standing by what I wrote. I thought it was good, and hey, it was my opinion anyway. He said that was fine and that he was going to send me copy of his book and his office phone number so that I could call after the season was finished — when I was a Dick Vitale fan again.
The next day, I sent him my own care package: a video of the Kansas-Texas game and a letter that defended my column, explained that I didn't hate him as much as Bill Raferty, and invited him to speak to the Kansan sports staff about covering college basketball.
Two days later, I got a care package in the mail, complete with two autographed books, an autographed mini-basketball, a hat and a Dick Vitale video, along with a three-page letter that further explained Dick's points.
I received another package yesterday, but nothing about him eating his words. It doesn't matter, though, because I'm grateful for the experience.
The story has made great fodder for my friends, family and professors, all of who vigorously shake my hand and say how much they liked the column. If I could write it again, I would make sure that I emphasized Vitale's knowledge of the college game — better than anybody — and his overwhelming positive influence for the game. It's kids that play the game, and he always makes sure that he's positive because of his impact on those players.
So am I Dickie V fan now? No, but I always listen to him. With the volume turned down, of course.
Miller is a Cheyenne, Wyo., senior in journalism.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (March 28). A move may be required to raise your status. Act quickly to learn what's required in May, and abundance could be yours by July. Don't waste a penny of it. A good deal turns sour in August. Don't bet more than you can lose. Around October, your leadership attracts admiration and maybe a secret admirer. The money should pour in from late November through December. Keep a lid on it in February.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day. 0 the most challenging.
Aries: Today is a 7.
Taurus: Today is a 9.
Focus on your career, and you could advance rapidly. Put a routine into place; it'll make the job easier. A relationship that's in the early phases should be doing well, but don't put much stress on it now. Take it slow and easy.
You could blossom today. You may feel like you're under pressure, but that's good. The pressure could inspire you to try something you used to find intimidating. You'll be past that barrier and on to the next one in no time at all.
Now is the time to figure out your finances. Get help from someone who knows how to make the most of what you have. If you get into a good plan now, you can create a more secure future. Don't be nervous; follow a leader you can trust.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You're lucky. A friend will be a big help. This person may be associated with higher education or the law. If you're in a sticky situation, don't worry about figuring it out by yourself. Involve somebody who knows what you’re talking about!
Leo: Today is a 7.
You may be working hard again. You'd rather be playing, and there are a lot of fun things to do. The path to your fantasies and pleasures is blocked, how ever. If you can turn a work situation into a game, you'll have more fun while you're stuck doing it.
Virgo: Today is a 9.
You're lucky again, so don't waste a moment. You want to be careful to get the best deal. Odds are good you will. You're smart and practical. A partner or mate can help, too. Rely on your common sense, however. There's none better now.
Libra: Today is a 7.

You are cranking right along. You're lucky in love, but you don't have much time for that yet. The day could be exhausting, so don't make a date to go on tonight. Stay home and cuddle instead.
You and your mate or partner could be stuck. You can't agree on the final objective, so you can't figure out what needs to be done. If you're fixing up your home or buying real estate, get an objective person to help. You're too emotionally charged.
Capricorn: Today is an 8.
男 女
You're an interesting person to be around. One of your admirers might stop by this evening, even if you didn't planned on company. If you and your sweetheart or family want privacy, you should go somewhere else.
The biggest conflict you had to worry about is probably past. You've struggled for the past couple of days, but things should start to get easier. You're getting more efficient, and you're not overwhelmed any more. Give yourself credit and keep at it.
Aquarius: Today is a 5
P
You're probably still in a pensive mood. You're growing, and sometimes you need time to ponder new information. Sometimes you like to have a lot of people around, but this is not one of them. It's OK to take your phone off the hook, too.

Pisces: Today is an 8.
If a class you want to take conflicts with the job you're doing, juggle. It's not easy when you learn new skills, but it's a good idea. The more you put your natural talents to work, the happier you'll be. And, you could get wealthier, too.

Women's tennis team suffers another loss
Almost as soon as its three-game losing streak against ranked opponents ended against South Florida, the Kansas women's tennis team has started a new one.
The No. 75 Jayhawks were destroyed 9-0 by the No. 12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish yesterday in South Bend, Ind. The loss dropped their record to 9-6 overall.
The meet got off to an ominous start as senior Brooke Chiller was handled, 6-0, 6-1, by All-American Michelle Dasso.
The Jayhawks managed to win one set in the singles portion of the meet. Junior Monica Sekulov lost the first set 6-3, battled back to win the second set 6-2, but lost the third set 6-3.
After the singles stomping, the 'Hawks saved a little face by making the doubles matches closer, but they ended up losing all three.
After a three-meet break from Big 12 Conference play the 'Hawks return to conference foes this weekend with an all-Oklahoma weekend.
They face the Sooners on Saturday in Lawrence and travel to Kansas City, Mo., to take on the Cowgirls Sunday. The 'Hawks are 2-1 in the Big 12 this season.

Professional bull-rider dies after being tossed

BULL RIDING
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A Canadian professional bull-rider died from injuries he suffered when he was tossed from a bull, which then stomped on his left arm and chest. Glen Keeley, 30, of Nanton, Albuquerque, died during illness late.
Glen Keeley, 30, of Nassau. Alberta, died during surgery late Friday night at University Hospital.
Keeley, a Top 10 PBR rider, was injured during a PBR event earlier Friday night at Tingley Coliseum, Weber said Saturday in a telephone interview from Colorado Springs, Colo.
Keeley walked off the arena floor and was stabilized by medical staff at the coliseum before he was taken to the hospital, where he died of abdominal injuries, Weber said.
He was thrown from the bull,
Promise Land, and then pounded
when the animal stepped on his arm
and chest.
said Jessica Weber, director of public relations and marketing for the Professional Bull Riders group.
Keeley, ranked ninth in the PBR point system, had been competing on the PBR circuit since its first event in 1994.
He had won a Canadian bull-riding championship in 1989. PBR chief executive Randy Bernard said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles.
Keeley was riding a well-known bull when he suffered his fatal injuries, Bernard said.
SCORPIO
"The bull just came down on him," Bernard said. "It was one of those fluke deals."
The bull — "a great athlete in his own right" — will not be destroyed, Bernard said.
The fatality was the first in the PRR's history. Bernard said.
More than 800 bull-riders compete to become one of the Top 45 to participate in PBR events, he said.

AUSTIN, Texas — Not long after North Carolina gave Bill Guthridge the biggest win of his brief career as a coach, the silver-haired, 62-year-old wisp of a man slipped out of the Erwin Center late Sunday afternoon and headed for Kansas to bury his mother. Yet when Betty Guthridge died Wednesday at age 96 in Parsons, her son didn't even tell his ballplayers. They found out the next day, when reporters began asking for comment.
"He's a strong man," said Phil Ford, who's been around the Tar Heels program as a player or assistant coach for 16 years. "You have to be a strong man to be the head coach at a place like North Carolina.
"Even with his mom's passing, he still put the program first."
Anybody who knows anything about Guthridge knew that, even before the Heels held off Tula 59-55 to send him back to the Final Four for the second time in his three seasons on the job.
As Guthridge stood in a hallway just a few feet from the locker room celebration, the memories that came flooding back had little to do with basketball.
"I don't think my mother even
knew that I was the head coach," he said quietly. "I told her, and my sister did, too. But with Alzheimer's you never really know if she heard." The funeral was scheduled yesterday at First Presbyterian Church in Parsons.
For 30 years, Guthridge sat next to Dean Smith on the
C
Carolina bench,
content to bask
in the
reflected glow of
college basket-
ball's winningest Division I coach
Then, just weeks before the 1997-98 season was set to start. Smith stepped down and a reluctant Guthridge had to be cajoled to step forward.
The journey has taken more than a few twists and turns since: a Final Four in Guthridge's first season, a first-round knockout by lowly Weber State in his second and now this, the most improbable, emotional-fueled run in Carolina's illustrious history.
And it's not over yet. First comes a triumphant return to Carolina, where postseason success is taken for granted and calls for Guthrieh's firing
began with the first-round NCAA tournament loss last year and ricocheted across Web sites and talk radio every time this season's team went into a tallspin.
But at the moment when he had every right to blister his critics, Guthrie apologized instead.
"I had a lot of faith in this team," he said. "I'm sorry it took us so long to get going, but it couldn't have come at a better time."
Carolina still is run much the same way he and Smith ran it side-by-side for 30 years. Quietly. No one gets too much credit, especially the newcomers. No one takes the easy way out. No matter the situation, the coach sets the example.
When the tension wound Guthridge's body so tight that he had to get up, he took a few steps, then stuck his hands on his hips and tried to look at ease. It worked well enough on his kids during the game; afterward was another story.
Asked whether this trip to the Final Four meant more than the previous ones, Guthridge tried to recall the years and the teams Carolina met, but quickly made a mess of the whole thing.
"I'm a little shook up, obviously," he said. "But I'm thrilled to be going."

Iowa coach denies being abused
Former teammates say Knight struck players
The Associated Press
Former Indiana basketball star Steve Alford denies a report that Hoosiers coach Bob Knight once punched him when Alford was a plaver.
Alford, former coach at Southwest Missouri State and now the coach at Iowa, said comments about the alleged abuse by his former Hoosiers teammate, Rick Calloway, were incorrect.
"Nothing along those lines ever happened," Alford said Sunday in a statement issued by the Iowa sports information department.
Calloway told the Houston Chronicle he once saw Knight punch Alford and slap forward Daryl Thomas on different occasions during practices.
"We were all standing in a circle one day, and he (Knight) just turned around and punched Steve right in the stomach, and for a minute and a half Steve couldn't breathe." Calloway said in Sunday's
Chronicle. "I was shocked. I wasn't really surprised he hit someone, but I never expected him to hit Steve, his golden child. But Steve put up with a lot."
Calloway also told the *Chronicle* that Knight didn't abuse all of his players when he got angry, only those he knew wouldn't fight back. He said Thomas was one of those players.
"Coach knew the guys he could hit or realy get into, and those he couldn't," Calloway said. "Daryl was a big guy (6-foot 7, 240 pounds), but coach knew what type of personality Daryl had. He (Knight) was mad at him, and Daryl was sitting in his chair, and he (Knight) just came up and slapped him, and it was hard. Then he realized what he did and said, 'Go ahead and hit me back.'
"Yeah, he realized what he did was all wrong, so he knew he had to try and correct it by telling Daryl to hit him back. But Daryl hit him real soft, and I remember when we got back to the dorm room we were like, 'Man, you should have hit him hard.'"
He played a year in the NBA in Sacramento, but now runs a swimmingpool construction company in Houston.
Calloway started as a sophomore on Indiana's 1987 national title team and transferred to Kansas for his senior year.
Calloway said he was breaking his 12-year silence on Knight after seeing how another former Indiana player, Neil Reed, has been vilified for his recent comments about the issue.
Two Indiana University trustees agreed last week to investigate Reed's claims against Knight.
Other than saying he didn't remember choking Reed, Knight has refused comment on the incident.
Attempts by *The Indianapolis Star* to reach athletics director Clarence Doninger on Sunday were unsuccessful; Knight was at a baseball exhibition game Sunday in Winter Haven, Fla.
In an interview with CNN/Sports Illustrated, Reed claimed Knight choked him during a practice session, prompting numerous denials from former Hoosiers players and coaches.
In the Chronicle article, Calloway praised Reed for speaking out.
"Everybody says he's lying about all the abuse at Indiana, but he's not," Calloway said about Reed. "It took a lot of courage for him to come forward like he did."
Cubs, Mets to begin season in Tokyo
The Associated Press
TOKYO — In pursuit of a true World Series, major league baseball will take on an international flavor this week when the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs start the season at the Tokyo Dome.
Clearly, the game has never looked — or tasted — quite like this.
"I think opening day is always opening day, no matter where it is," said Mets catcher Mike Piazza.
Maybe, but put it this way: No one ever saw an opposing player bow to the crowd at Yankee Stadium.
Come tomorrow, when 1 billion yen-a-year star Sammy Sosa strolls to the plate in the first inning, that could happen. Of course, a whole lot of people back home would probably miss it.
The first pitch is scheduled for 4:08 a.m. Fox Sports Net is televising the game for anyone who is awake at that hour.
When the NFL, NBA and NHL ventured to Tokyo, they adjusted starting times to fit audiences in North America. Baseball officials did not want to disrupt Japanese schedules for the first regular-season games outside the continent, hoping to build better relations.
Organizers expect a sellout crowd of 50,000 paying about $115 for the top ticket. The attendance will be announced as 55,000, however, because that's the tradition at this ballpark ruled by the Tokyo Yomiji Giants.
"When we agreed to play, we knew there would be certain inconveniences," Cubs president Andy MacPhail said. "There are tradeoffs involved. And we believed it was appropriate, given the direction we are taking baseball."
But it's completely the wrong way, contended St. Louis slugger Mark McGwire. The Cardinals originally were picked for the 20 hour trip and turned it down last summer, led by Big Mac's opposition.
"The Japanese have their own brand of baseball over there," he said. "Our game is too international as it is. It comes down to how much money can they make."
Commissioner Bud Selig didn't see it that way.
"If this was sheer greed, this wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Economics are a secondary issue."
Then again, the players are making out OK. They're all getting $25,000 each for the games — which count in the standings — and most got to fly in first class.
They've also had the chance to enjoy Japanese culture, be it seeing the Imperial Palace or kabuki theater in person, watching sumo wrestling on TV or shopping in the famous Ginza district.
To help adjust to the jet lag, the teams will get three days off after leaving Tokyo.
So while other clubs still are in spring training in places such as Vero Beach, Fla., Clearwater, Fla., and Tempe, Ariz., a bunch of
Mets went out for a dinner of Kobe steaks. They would have found stranger fare at the concession stands at the Tokyo Dome.
Mets went out for a dinner of Kobe steaks.
There's sushi, naturally, and the popular eel bento box — cooked eel surrounded by odd-colored side dishes. There's sake and hot tea, too.
There's a diverse look in the stands, in addition. Some fans cover their faces with little surgical masks because in this polite society, people who are sick don't want to cough on anyone.
There are lots of unusual traditions in Japanese ball, actually.
For one, players normally do not sign autographs. For another, players are paid for postgame interviews. Home-run hitters are immediately presented with a large doll, which they often throw into the stands.
Ceremonial first balls are thrown out with the visiting team's leadoff man standing in the batter's box. There is no standard league ball, either — each team has its own, all smaller than those used in North America and often varping in size.
The treatment of umpires varies as well.
Ums in Japan routinely are pushed around without penalty. And there's no trace of arrogance — last season, umpire Toshiyuki Tanaka suspended himself for three games for blowing a call.
"That shows you the difference right there," said Marty Foster, one of the four major league umpires who will work the Mets-Cubs series. "I don't think you'd see that back home."
Cyclones coach apologizes for colorful outburst
DES MOINES, Iowa — Gov. Tom Vilsack said yesterday he would not criticize Iowa State University basketball coach Larry Eustachy for a nationally televised, obscenity-laced fight with a referee.
"I suspect that if the cameras were on in the households of thousands of Iowans watching
The Associated Press
that game, maybe at points of time in that game we would have all been embarrassed by our conduct," Vilsack said. "I was pretty wound up about it."
Iowa State lost 75-64 to Michigan State in the NCAA Midwest Regional finals Saturday night in Auburn Hills, Mich.
Eustachy was ejected with 9.9 seconds remaining after a
tirade against referee Curtis Shaw. The exchange came when Iowa State's Michael Nurse was called for a fifth foul while frantically trying for a rebound.
Michigan State then hit six free throws — the foul on Nurse and the two technical fouls against Eustachy.
"I'm sure the coach, if he had it to do over again, would have perhaps avoided the second technical," Vilsack said. "Coach Eustachy has done a tremendous job with that program."
The Cyclones, who were bidding for their first Final Four appearance since 1944, finished the season 32.5.
Eustachy said after the game that he apologized to his players for the attack.
Hal Sutton wins tourney holds back Tiger Woods
The Associated Press
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Hal Sutton saved his praise for Tiger Woods. He first wanted to make sure he beat him in The Players Championship.
With steel-blue eyes that have seen as much trouble as triumph the past two decades, Sutton hit 17 of 18 greens on one of the most demanding courses for a one-stroke victory against Woods on yesterday in a tournament delayed a day because of rain.
"He's the greatest player in the game," Sutton said of Woods, who pushed him to the final hole. "It's OK to praise him now. I don't have to go hit another shot with him out there."
Sutton, who finished with a 1-under 71 to finish at 278, became only the fourth player to go wire-to-wire in The Players Championship. The victory was worth $1,080,000, compared to the $126,000 prize he won in the same tournament in 1983.
Woods, who had a 71 to finish at 279, earned $648,000. Through seven events, he has won more than $3.2 million, the third-highest total in PGA Tour history. Even more daunting, he has finished first or second in 10 of his last 11 events on the PGA Tour.
"I've won my share, and I also lost," Woods said. "But the key is always to keep putting yourself in position."
Sutton had a point to prove, and he drove it home with a gritter, nearly flawless performance in which he closed with seven solid pars. And on this day, even Woods was no match.
Still, for a man who won the PGA Championship at 25, then resurrected his career to become a Ryder Cup star at The Country Club in September, Sutton called his victory the greatest day in his golfing life.
All week, Sutton refused to believe Woods was too good to be beaten. He insisted the final round was not "Sutton vs. Woods," but both players against a challenging course.
"Any time you win on this golf course, you've had to overcome your nerves. You've had to show courage," Sutton said. "And then for Tiger to be the one that I was playing in the last group and having to beat, that makes it special."
Woods, as always made it exciting.
"At least I made Hal work for it," Woods said.
"He wasn't going to have a nice stroll up 18 with no pressure on him. We had a good battle."
Three down with three holes to play. Wood hit a 5-iron into 12 feet on the par-5 16th and made the eagle putt, stepping off to the side for that famous uppercut he first introduced on the TPC at Sawgrass six years ago when he won his first U.S. Amateur.
Sutton's lead suddenly was down to one, with two of the most terrorizing holes the Stadium Course has to offer. The par-3 17th played the easiest it had all week because of overnight rains and only a slight breeze.
But it's still an island, a patch of turf that Sutton failed to hit in the third round in making a triple bogey, his only score worse than par over the final 45 holes.
Woods hit a wedge that spun back into the rough and had to make a 6-footer to save par, while Sutton hit the middle of the green for a safe par.
On the 18th, Woods hit a 2 iron to the fairway and, hitting first, watched his 6-iron catch a swale to right of the green. He pitched up to a couple of inches for par, and victory finally belonged to Sutton.

Decision awards smoker punitive damages
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — A jury ordered the nation's two largest tobacco companies yesterday to pay $20 million in punitive damages to a dying ex-smoker who took up the habit after the surgeon general's warning began appearing on cigarette packs in the 1960s.
The Superior Court jury ordered Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds to pay $10 million each to Leslie Whitley and her husband.
The same jury awarded the couple
$1.7 million in compensatory damages last week after finding that the companies deceived the public about the dangers of smoking.
That verdict was the first time the industry lost to a smoker who took up the habit after 1969, when tobacco companies began putting government-required health warnings on cigarette packs.
Around the country, juries have awarded damages to individual smokers only five other times. But three of those verdicts were overturned and the two others still are
under appeal. The industry has yet to
pav anything in any of those cases.
Whitley, 40, said she started smoking in 1972 at age 13. She smoked Philip Morris' Marlboros and Reynolds' Camels until 1988, when she quit shortly before doctors diagnosed small-cell lung cancer. Doctors said she probably would die this year.
The Whiteleys had asked for $115 million in punitive damages, which they said represented one percent of the companies' combined net worth. Their lawyer said cigarette makers remained unrepentant for the harm
they caused.
Phillip Morris lawyer William Ohlemeyer contended that punitive damages were improper because the companies had made profound changes in the way they did business. He and other company lawyers have pointed to the $206 billion settlement reached in 1998 by cigarette makers and 46 states suing over health costs.
He said the companies would appeal if the verdict was upheld.
The tobacco companies argued that Whiteley harmed herself by her admitted use of marijuana, by smoking during pregnancy and by disregarding warnings on cigarette packages.
"Mrs. Whiteley never smoked a pack of cigarettes that didn't have a health warning on it that was written by the surgeon general." Ohlemeyer said.
But after reviewing industry documents, jurors found that the companies designed cigarettes negligently, then made false or misleading statements to the public and concealed information about the dangers of smoking.
Russia, U.S. want new president to make himself, policies known
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin's election as president was hailed yesterday as the start of a new age in Russia, even though he has yet to spell out how he will handle the daunting challenge of restoring political order and invigorating the ailing economy.
Putin managed to avoid being forced into a runoff vote against Communist candidate Gennady Zyuganov, but his victory in Sunday's election was less than the huge win he had sought. Putin and his supporters had hoped for a stronger mandate for tackling Russia's problems.
With 96 percent of the vote counted in Sunday's presidential election, Putin led with 53 percent. Zyuganov was second with 29 percent, and liberal Grigory Yavlinsky was third with 6 percent. The other eight candidates lagged far behind.
For Putin — little known despite his nearly three months as the country's caretaker leader — some of the first tasks as Russia's second democratically elected president will be to choose a prime minister, come up with specific proposals to revive the economy, and clear corruption out of the government.
Acknowledging the scale of the problems facing him, Putin said early yesterday that he would not make any promises of quick improvements.
"The level of expectations is very high-
"...People are tired and struggling, and they're hoping for things to get better, but miracles don't happen."
Vladimir Putin Russian President
people are tired and struggling, and they're hoping for things to get better, but miracles don't happen," he told a news conference.
Some Russian reformers and Western officials and businessmen have praised Putin as a pragmatic reformer who will restore stability in Russia and improve people's lives by making reforms work.
But others, particularly liberals, fear Putin may trample Russia's fragile democracy and restore the iron control the secret police enforced during the Soviet era.
Putin insists he is a democrat, but he has been vague about his plans beyond stressing the need for strong government.
Although the Clinton administration has expressed uncertainty over how vigorously Putin will pursue democratic change, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said that his words had the right tone.
"Certainly, he uses all the right vocabulary when he talks about having the support of the people," Albright said.
Brockovich case continues
The Associated Press
KETTLEMAN HILLS, Calif. — In the movie *Erin Brockovich*, moviemakers see how a brass young legal secretary forced Pacific Gas & Electric Co. to pay a $333 million settlement for poisoning the water in a small California desert town.
But the movie's story of environmental villainy is only the beginning of the legal and public relations nightmare Brockovich has created for the utility company.
A bigger, broader lawsuit is headed to trial in November against San Francisco-based PG&E and one of its main suppliers.
About 1,500 employees, their families, other residents and farmers who lived or worked near three PG&E gas-compressor plants contend their water supplies also were contaminated with harmful levels of cancer-causing chromium 6 from the 1950s to the 1970s.
Brockovich is trying to find every person who may have been exposed. Being portrayed on screen by Julia Roberts hasn't hurt. In the movie's first week, 40 to 50 potential plaintiffs called.
PG&E has said little about the accuracy of the movie or its effect on the litigation.
"I will say this: I do believe that when the case is brought to trial, we will mount a very spirited and vigorous defense," said representative Greg Pruett.
Brockovich, a Lawrence native, investigated reports about blood problems in Hinkley, near the Arizona state line, and began a quest that lasted four years.
Iran holds key to lower oil prices
The Associated Press
U. S. gas stations released Saturday.
VIENNA, Austria — OPEC oil ministers failed to reach agreement yesterday on how much crude oil to add to global supplies, with Iran seen as the chief obstacle to a consensus that could provide some price relief to consumers. The ministers are to resume discussions today.
For motorists and other consumers of refined products such as gasoline, a lot hinges on efforts by Saudi Arabia, OPEC's No. 1 producer.
American motorists now pay an average of $1.59 per gallon for unleaded gasoline, an increase of nearly 60 cents since prices bottomed out at 99.8 cents per gallon in February 1999, according to a Lundberg Survey of 10,000
Industry analysts warn of possible shortages and $2-a gallon gas during the peak driving season this summer if OPEC fails to increase production significantly.
Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan sought yesterday to minimize fears raised by some U.S. lawmakers that a recent spike in fuel prices could have a negative effect on economy.
"Currently, we do not as yet — and emphasize as yet — see any significant indication that crude oil price increases are in the process of embedding themselves in other areas of the economy and inflating the general price structure," he said.

Fraternities look for new homes

One group sells house, others could follow
By Jessie Meyer

Kansan staff writer
Members of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity plan to leave what has been nicknamed the fraternity ghetto and head north.
Plans to sell the fraternity house at 1918 Stewart Ave. to First Management Inc., 2001 W. Sixth St., are under way, said Todd Navrat, president of the housing corporation for Lambda Chi Alpha. First Management already has built some apartments on nearby property.
"It is our intention to sell." Navrat said. "We have not closed the deal yet. The house is under contract and it should be settled sometime this summer."
Navrat said the terms of the agreement, including the price, were confidential and although the terms were near settlement, things still could happen to hinder the transaction.
Brian Cooper, president of
Lambda Chi Alpha and Overland Park junior, said the plan was to move to the Alpha Omicron Pi fraternity house, 1510 Sigma Nu Place. This year, the house is occupied by the members of Delta Chi fraternity because their house is under construction. But the original Delta Chi house should be finished by the fall, leaving the Alpha Omicron Pi house vacant and available for Lambda Chi Alpha.
"I consider this an excellent step." Cooper said. "There is much more housing capacity at 1510 Sigma Nu."
Stewart Ave.
Navrat said the decision to sell and move was made in part because the chapter thought it would be better to look elsewhere for a larger facility rather than add to the Stewart Avenue house. Cooper said this decision had been in the works since spring 1998.
Lambda Chi Alpha is not the only fraternity exploring the option to move — some of its neighbors may be leaving, too.
Bill Nelson, director of greek programs, said there had been talk of a possible sale of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house, 2000 Stewart Ave., and most recently, the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house, 1911
"At this point negotiations are too new to say." Nelson said of the Tau Kappa Epsilon sale. "They are looking into what their options are."
Pi Kappa Alpha and Leoti junior, said his fraternity hoped to sell as soon as possible. He said First Management also had expressed interest in the Pi Kappa Alpha house, but another fraternity also could purchase it.
Chuck Kappauf, president of Tau Kappa Epsilon and Dallas sophomore, said he was unable to comment because it was too early in the process.
"We'd like to live closer to campus, maybe on Indiana Street," Shimanek said, adding that Pi Kappa Alpha would like
Brian Shimanek, president of
to purchase property near campus and build a house in the future.
Nelson said he did not know specifically where the members of either fraternity would live if sales were completed.
"There clearly is not available housing," Nelson said. "And strict zoning laws will pose a challenge to any group who decides to move."

Eastern Culture;
Students imprint their styles with an Asian accent
Bv Ryan Blethen
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Ryan Biemen
All around campus Asian culture has made its mark. From tattooed arms to shirts donning Chinese characters, people are assimilating Asian culture into everyday life.
Buildings using this technique are designed to create a balanced environment where people live and work. Doing so involves the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
One Asian import that has caught on in recent years is Feng Shui. The translation of the Chinese word is wind and water. Feng Shui involves the study of how to live in harmony with nature.
earth, metal and water. Chris Shaul, who works for the American Feng Shui Institute in Monterey Park, Calif., and runs a Web site devoted to Feng Shul, said one reason that Asian styles and philosophies had become popular in America was that Americans had been having more contact with Asian nations.
At Borderline, 820 Massachusetts St., Asian-influenced accessories adorn the shelves. The store carries everything from bamboo candlesticks to sterling silver chopsticks and table-top fountains.
Peggy Wright, Borderline owner, said Asian designs were popular because of their contemporary, clean look.
Lance Tuck, who works at Skin Illustrations, 740 Massachusetts St., said that so many people had asked for Asian character tattoos that the store bought a Chinese dictionary.
Asia also has had an influence on people's bodies. Tattoos of Asian characters have become increasingly popular in Lawrence during the past couple of years.
Tuck said he thought people were getting the Asian tattoos because they found it a good way to express themselves.
"They are trying to find something that sums themselves up," he said.
Amanda Tritsch, Ola sophomore, said that she was not sure why she got a Chinese
William Tsutsu, director for the center of East Asian studies, said that Americans always had been interested in Asia but that the interest had increased in the last 20 years.
character for peace tattooed on her ankle, but that she liked the meaning behind the tattoo.
He also suggested that one reason Americans enjoyed things with an Asian influence was that because they were different.
"Globalization has perhaps increased this transfer of Asian culture," he said.
"There is something very exotic about Asia" he said.
Tsuitsui said that China and Japan had done a great job of marketing their cultures. "I can't think why something as stupid as Pokémon is popular," he said.
but the cultural exchange is a two-way street, he said. Tsutsui said that Americans traveling to Asian countries had been struck by how American culture had been assimilated into the existing cultures.

Faculty, students clash on parking by Blake, Fraser
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Two proposals by the parking board have drawn, the ire of several faculty members.
One proposal would convert about 15 blue parking spaces on Lilac Lane between Danforth Chapel and the Chancellor's driveway into a parking area specially designated for students who live in Miller and Watkins Scholarship halls. The converted spaces would be made available to the students on a lottery basis.
The other proposal would raise the "ageplus-service" qualification for faculty members who wish to purchase blue permits from 60 to 62 years. Both proposals would take effect next fall.
In a letter addressed to Morris Faiman, parking board chair, Jim Carothers, Senate Executive Committee chair, and Mary Hawkins, University Council president, 11 faculty members criticized the proposals for the possible negative impact they would have on faculty and staff.
Greg Simpson, chairman of the department of psychology, who has an office in Fraser Hall, said he signed the letter because he agreed with its sentiments.
Sarah Jackson, Miller resident and Abilene sophomore said several residents of Miller and Watkins had monitored parking on Lilac Lane and found that there often were many empty spaces.
The letter questions the logic of the board's proposals. It also claims taking away spaces from faculty and staff near buildings that they work in, including Fraser and Blake, is counter to the parking board's goal of making changes that would better serve the interests of the University.
"I's critically important that faculty get close to their buildings when they need to," Simpson said. "We often have to go to several different places during the day, and it's critical that we get back to our buildings on time to perform our principal duties such as teaching or office hours."
"Last spring we kept looking at the lot to see how empty it was," Jackson said. "There were consistently 10 to 12 spaces open."
"We deserve those spots," Hickert said.
"All the other scholarship halls have spaces within a reasonable distance of their buildings. We don't."
Simpson said that he frequently had problems parking on Lilac Lane and that eliminating spaces for faculty members on Lilac Lane only would compound the problem.
were consistently in favor of Morris Faiman, parking board chairman, said that he was sympathetic with both sides.
Audrey Hickert, Miller resident and Morland sophomore, said she supported the proposal because Miller and Watkins residents did not have convenient parking facilities.
Barbara Romzek, professor of public administration and government, who works in Blake, said the proposals were poorly thought out. She called the proposal to raise the qualifications for blue permits unfortunate, and she said the Lilac Lane proposal neglected faculty and staff needs.
"What we were trying to do was to address the needs of the students in the scholarship halls who came to us with their concerns," Faiman said. "I was very sympathetic to the letter from the faculty, and I bleed with them. We will also try to take their needs into account."
But some students who live in Miller and Watkins halls say they like the idea.
Faiman said he wasn't sure what could be done to remedy the situation, but he said he was hopeful that tomorrow's University Council meeting about the issue would yield some suggestions. Members of the scholarship halls are expected to attend.
Faiman said that Council would not decide the issue but could only make recommendations.
"The decision will ultimately be made by the Chancellor." Faiman said.

Woman's status shifts to serious condition
the 27-year-old female Lawrence resident who was struck by a train while sitting in her car on railroad tracks north of Lawrence Monday has been upgraded to serious condition.
The woman was taken by helicopter to KU Med Center at 8:30 p.m. last night with internal injuries.
Lt. David Cobb, Lawrence police, said police were investigating the accident as an attempted suicide. The woman's family said she had left a suicide note describing her intentions to park her car on the tracks.

Train collides with bus; kills two children
TENNGA, Ga. — A freight train slammed into a school bus yesterday morning at an ungated crossing near the Georgia-Tennessee line, splitting it in two and killing two children. The five other elementary school pupils on board were critically injured.
No train passengers were injured. The Murray County school bus was picking up children to go to Northwest Elementary School north of Chatsworth. The bus had crossed into Polk County, Tenn., to turn around when it was struck by the train at about 6:30 a.m.
The 72-passenger bus was on the early part of its regular route and had more stops to make, officials said.
There is a sign but no signal lights or bars at the crossing. The track
curves through pine trees in hilly terrain, making it difficult for a train's crew to see the crossing. Brown said He said the weather was mostly clear.
The train's engineer told investigators he blew his whistle as he approached the intersection and applied his emergency brake as soon as he saw the bus, said Tennessee state Trooper Ken Uselton.
Five children, ages 5 to 9, were admitted in critical condition at Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga, representative Sharon Kayhill said. Two later were upgraded to serious condition, she said.
Hundreds of killer bees attack elderly woman
LAS VEGAS — A 77-year-old woman was in critical condition yesterday after being stung more than 500 times by a swarm of killer bees.
The woman, whose name was not released, was attacked while walking along a street a few blocks from her Las Vegas home, Fire Department representative Tim Zimanskii said. He said they might have been drawn to something she was carving.
Firefighters wearing special gear doused the woman with water to get about 200 bees off her. Two police officers were stung trying to rescue her.
Hospital personnel used tweezers and duct tape to pull the stingers from her body.
The state Agriculture Department confirmed the bees were Africanized bees, commonly known as killer bees because of the way they attack in swarms.
Africanized bees have killed an estimated 1,000 people as they migrated northward from Brazil beginning in 1957. The first swarm was reported in the United States in Texas in 1990.
WORLD
JERUSALEM — Delivering an emotional television appeal, Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu angrily denied any wrong-doing yesterday after police urged the attorney general to indict him and his wife on corruption charges.
During a 50-minute interview, Netanyahu occasionally used props and paused dramatically to emphasize his innocence and accuse police of trumpeting up the charges against him.
Police said Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, accepted favors from a contractor, tried to influence others to alter their testimonies in the case and kept 700 presents meant to be state property, including a golden letter opener from U.S. Vice President Al Gore.
If tried and convicted of the most serious charge, obstruction of justice,
Netanyahu could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison.
Netanyahu, 50, who was tossed out by voters 10 months ago, launched a counter offensive against
P. G.
Netanyahu: could face up to seven years in prison
the police in an apparent attempt to rescue his political future.
Police said that a seven-month investigation indicated that Netanyahu should be charged with fraud, attempted misuse of state funds, breach of trust and obstruction of
justice
His lawyer, Yacoo Weinroth, said the police report was sloppy.
Blair's parental leave debated across Britain
LONDON — the nation — or at least the tabloids — are waiting to see if Prime Minister Tony Blair will take parental leave when his fourth child is born in May.
His expectant wife wants him to,
but talk show onion is divided.
"I've got a country to run. . . I honestly don't know what to do." Blair said, sounding distinctly unlike a politician in a recent interview.
Blair, 46, looked uneasy, caught between the politically fashionable view of left-of-center European parties about shared modern parenting and, well, just wanting to continue running Britain.
His wife, 45yearold Chene, a high-flying lawyer, is piling on the public pressure
lawyer, is piling on the public pressure. Last week, she praised Finnish Prime Minister Paavo Lipponen for taking six days' parental leave after his wife, Paivi, gave birth to their second daughter in March. Lipponen also took time off in 1998 for the birth of his first child.
"I, for one, am promoting a widespread adoption of this fine example. " Cherie Blair said.
That was enough to get the tabloids going again about the baby — already an object of public fascination as an unexpected addition to the prime minister's 10 Downing St. residence. The Blairs already have two teen-age sons and a 12-year-old daughter.
Under new European Union-wide regulations, parents are entitled to 13 weeks of unpaid time off during the first five years of a child's life. The rules do not apply to elected officials such as Blair, but set a tone that could be awkward for him to ignore.
Even Blair's minister for women, Baroness Margaret Jay, said on a talk show that it would be nice if he followed Lipponen's example, but she added that it was up to him.

Organization intermingles art with copy
By Amanda Hay
Special to the Kansan
Students interested in creative advertising now have an opportunity to learn more about their field and make connections with professionals.
This semester, the University of Kansas welcomed the KU Art and Copy Club to campus. Its creators are Kenna Crone, president, Shawne junior; Matt Thomas, vice president, Kansas City, Kan., junior; and James Tsai, treasurer, Lawrence senior. Tim Bengtson, associate professor of journalism, sponsors the club. The club now has 22 members.
The three students wanted to build an organization that catered to students interested in the creative aspects of advertising, which include copy writing, art direction, production, photography and illustration.
"The club was started because we are each fueled by the same passion." Tsai said. "We wanted to obtain an intimate understanding of the creative advertising field in order to have a competitive advantage when we graduate."
Crone said the KU Art and Copy Club was meant to cooperate with the existing Advertising Club, which deals with all aspects of that field, such as account service, media, research and creative ad work.
But Tsai said the creative field needed a separate organization to cover its various aspects.
In addition to journalism students, the club targets fine arts students.
"One of our main goals is to team up students from the journalism school with those in fine arts to create copywriter/art director teams," Tsai said. "That type of teamwork can produce more impressive portfolios."
Another aim of the club is to aid students in developing their professional portfolios. The members will develop a print ad campaign to add to their portfolios. The professional guests of the club are available to offer critiques.
The club meets at 7 p.m. Wednesdays at room 100 Stauffer-Flint and will meet tonight. Creative directors from three different advertising agencies will evaluate portfolios.

Concert to celebrate history of women
By Doug Pacey

Kansan staff writer
Four bands will play a concert celebrating Women's History Month tonight.
And though the concert is celebrating the female gender, men are more than welcome, said Christine Garton, co-president of the KU Commission on the Status of Women club and Olathe junior.
"It's for guys and girls," she said.
"There are guys in some of the bands that are going to play. I don't just want girls to come. Anyone who has time to attend can come."
The Suga Daddies, Coyote Project. Melineh and Andrea & Brad will perform from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the courtyard area of Jayhawker Towers.
The bands are donating their services to the organization for the concert.
ces to the organization for the concert. "I'm totally looking forward to the concert." said Melineh Kurdian, concert performer and Kansan music critic. "Not only because it's for women, but there are some great bands on the ticket, too."
The concert is free, but donations will be accepted, Garton said.
"People don't have to donate if they don't want to," she said. "But we will be collecting donations for Rape Abuse Incest National Network, and there will be information about the organization at the concert, too."
More than music will be free at the concert, Garton said. Pizza and drinks will be offered. Jayhawker Towers is paying for the refreshments.
"With the music and the food, this should be a fun time," she said. "The best part is that it's outside in the courtyard." Garton said her group had been celebrating Women's History Month all month.

Land issues cloud commission meeting
The City Commission fielded complaints last night on two land issues whose progress soon could become volatile.
In one, residents of both Lawrence and Douglas County are saying that American Eagle Outfitters Inc., which plans to open a distribution center on a 90-acre site near the eastern edge of the city, is providing them with different information every time they ask.
In another, Lawrence residents of Gaslight Village Mobile Home. 31st and Iowa streets, are complaining that they are being evicted to make room for a Home Depot store.
In the first issue, the City Commission received American Eagle's request for an 80 percent tax abatement and deferred it to the administrative review committee — but not before drawing public comment.
Melinda Henderson, Lawrence resident, said she was concerned that American Eagle's projected salaries and benefits would be substandard.
She also said the company was not clear if it planned to have 300 employees in
three years or only 250
Larry Kipp, Douglas County resident, said American Eagle officials had not given the same figure twice on any issue. "Every time they present, depending on
"Every time they present, depending on which meeting I go to, they change," he said.
said. For example, Kipp said, American Eagle's
For example, Kipp said building plans only showed a 38 acre site, but the company had requested 90.
"There are several 40-acre sites for industrial development around Lawrence," he said. "What are they going
City Commission
What are they going to do with the rest? Nobody knows."
Debra Housworth, Gaslight resident, spoke before the commission last night to tell city officials her situation — but she said she was not sure what the city could do about it.
She said that she lived on the east side of the trailer park and that its owner was selling 25 acres on the west side to make room for a Chicago developer, First Development Limited. A shopping area is proposed for the site and would include a Home Depot store.
Housworth said the park's owner, Mid-America Mobile Home Communities, was telling tenants to pick new spots on the east side of Gaslight or in Brookwood Mobile Home Park, 1908 E. 19th St., which Mid-American also owns.
Mid-American also owns
On March 2, Housworth said she
received a notice of eviction, effective
May 1 — and without cause.
Because trailer park residents lease their spaces month-to-month, they can be evicted without cause even if they pay their rents.
mayor Erv Hodges said the city had not yet dealt with the issue.
"The biggest problem we have in Kansas is there is no-cause eviction," she said. "Just because we don't own the piece of ground we live on does not mean we shouldn't have the same benefits."
"They haven't even started the process of rezoning," he said.
In other action, the City Commission:
Approved unanimously a request by Michael Henry, community affairs director for Student Senate, to form a student/city affairs advisory committee. The details have yet to be worked out, but the committee would serve as a forum for dealing with issues involving both students and the city, such as landlord/tenant issues and the fire code.

Pope — He's more than just an another old guy riding in a motorized, glass-encased rickshaw. This pope means business. His visit to the Holy Land gives hope for a new era of religious tolerance.
We still like like — House Speaker Dennis Hastert appoints Kansas Reps. Dennis Moore and Jerry Moran to a committee charged with planning a national memorial for Abilene's favorite son, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Men's basketball squad — It was a rocky season, punctuated by arrests and mystery illnesses, but in the NCAA tournament, this team proved it had heart. Next year, though, let's prove we have talent.
Smith & Wesson — Big-time gun maker breaks ranks with the rest of the firearm industry and institutes sweeping self-reform. Shoot, will Phillip Morris voluntarily stop selling smokes to kiddies?

Fake ID poster campaign — Turns out, using a fake ID is illegal. Apparently, so is underage drinking. Good news: Absence of 'Just Say No to Drugs' signs must mean drugs are OK!
Census invasiveness — How much money do you make? Is your stove gas or electric? How much time do you spend filling out censuses? For one out of 16 of us, the answer is way too much.

New transplant rules benefit more
The procedure for determining who receives organ transplants soon will be changing. New federal rules from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services require the nation's organ transplant network to adopt a new system that would send organs to the most needy patients, regardless of where they are in the country. As of now, organs are distributed within the region in which they are donated.
The State of Wisconsin has challenged the new rules, arguing that they will hurt states with high donation rates by sending organs to places where donation rates are lower. While the concern to protect local patients is understandable, the new

It is important to remember that when a situation of life and death arises, state lines should not matter. The goal of health care professionals is to save lives, and if that means sending a liver or kidney to a different state to help someone who needs it more than a patient in the home state, that is what needs to be done.
system will be better overall.

This issue hits close to home because the University of Kansas Medical
In an ideal world, this wouldn't happen because people would donate all across the country. Patients here may have to wait longer, but it's not right to value one life more than another. The bottom line is that, as Americans, we should be concerned with helping everyone, and that means getting desperately needed organs to those who need them the most.

G un rhetoric has been heating up lately on both sides of the issue. Maybe it's because it's an election year. Maybe it's because mass shootings, especially by or against children, seem to be showing up on the news with disturbing regularity.
Perspective
NRA's stance on guns is more miss than hit
change on how we use and view guns. High noon is approaching in Congress, with both sides lining up and fingering their weapons. I suspect this decade will see some major legislation.
One reason I think this is that there's a group out there that seems dedicated to repealing the Second Amendment. Highly organized, highly financed, with a radical agenda and a small army of lobbyists, this group is doing everything it possi-

The Democrats? Nope. Jim Brady's crowd? Fraid not. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms? Sorry.
No, it's the National Rifle Association
No, it is a sound. Yeah, I know that sounds insane — but so does NRA leader Wayne LaPierre, these days. And that, in the long run, is posing a far greater danger to hunters and sportsmen than a whole army of gun-control fanatics.
A lot of Americans hunt. Others enjoy target shooting. And there used to be a time when the NRA was a fine service organization for those purposes: teaching gun safety, maintenance and responsible gun ownership.
Things change.
The NRA hates trigger locks, too. With a passion.
Carrying a gun is a serious business. You're
accepting the power to kill, quickly and easily,
and that is no small thing. It is a cherished right,
but it also requires responsibility. True conservatives understand the importance of responsibility. The NRA, alas, no longer seems to.
weapon, stolen guns being used in crimes, etc. In fact, most of Mr. Brady's complaints permanently could be laid to rest, all without depriving Americans of the right to bear arms.
Instead, it has been coming off as a group of paranoid, crazy-right, Montana-Militia, Timothy McVeigh-style extremists, refusing even common-sense, nonrestrictive safety measures that actually help the cause of bearing arms. They claim to speak for America's gun owners. And most of the nation believes that.
The NRA hates it and is fighting the technology tooth and nail.
Is this, people wonder, the kind of person I want carrying a gun around me? The sort of person who makes wild charges against a sitting president? Clinton has all the morals of a tomcat on Viagra, but the notion that he would deliberately murder people for some mythical political gain is just nuts. Just nuts describes a lot of the NRA's positions of late.
Trigger locks. Not a bad idea. If an intruder surprises you with such speed that you were unable to punch in the combination on your gun, well, sorry, but you'd probably be dead anyway. The time when you're most likely to need immediate, unhampered access to your gun for defense purposes is outside of your home, when, the weapon being directly on your person, you wouldn't be using the lock. If the gun is already in a drawer, adding an extra five seconds to the time needed to it is far less likely to result in injury or death than risking a child able to use it.
And if you're really, really paranoid, no one says you have to use the lock.
The crazier they appear, the more they turn people in general against any sort of gun ownership. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Kids can't vote or fight, but they can be executed?
In January, Glen McGinnis was executed by lethal injection in Texas despite protests from the American Bar Association, Amnesty International, the European Union, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights and the pope. These protests had nothing to do with whether McGinnis was guilty of the crime he was convicted of. Instead, they stemmed from the fact that McGinnis was 17 years old at the time of the crime — legally still a minor.
International human rights standards prohibit the execution of anyone under the age of 18 at the
Interestingly enough, U.S. policy prohibits the execution of minors in occupied U.S. territories but does not offer the same protection to its citizens. While the crimes minors commit are no less horrible because of their ages, it is wrong to put the

same level of responsibility on minors. The chance of rehabilitation of a minor is much greater than for an adult. Also, by punishing a minor as we would an adult, our society is refusing to accept any responsibility for circumstances that often lead minors to commit these offenses in the first place.
and McGinnis is a perfect example of this. McGinnis had been living on the streets since the age of 11 after running away from a home where his mother prostituted herself and was addicted to crack cocaine. Child Protective Services repeatedly had taken him away from his home after he was beaten on the head with a baseball bat and raped by his stepfather. Each time, CPS allowed him to go home after treatment, and each time, McGinnis ran away again, only to be caught and returned by the authorities.
While in juvenile detention, McGinnis showed
Despite your opinion about the death penalty as a policy, you should be worried about the way that this policy is being carried out. Opposing the death penalty is not an attempt to excuse these crimes — it is simply a statement that two wrongs do not make a right. Many studies have shown that capital punishment does not deter crime, is racially biased and does not ease the suffering of the families of victims.
Sam Jordan, director of the Program to Abolish the Death Penalty, said on CNN in January before McGinnis' execution, "It's ironic that in the United States we don't permit juveniles to vote, to go to war, to sign contracts. We recognize it, seems that youth are immature and can't be held responsible for decisions made under all circumstances. Yet we do permit youth under the age of 18 to be executed."
Between 1977 and 1993, the death penalty was sought in 63 percent of all cases involving an African-American defendant charged with the murder of a White victim, and in 5 percent of cases involving all other racial combinations of defendant and victim. In total, 76 percent of federal death penalty prosecutions have been against minority defendants.
McGinnis was executed in Texas, where presidential candidate George W. Bush is governor. Despite Bush's claims about being a "compassionate conservative," he certainly showed no compassion toward McGinnis, who never had a fair shot at becoming a productive citizen.

himself to be a prime candidate for rehabilitation. Employees of the center testified that he had a good discipline record, was respectful of staff members and was not aggressive, even when taunted by other juveniles. One staff member even told the jury that she had considered adopting McGinnis after working with him in detention. This does not sound like a person beyond rehabilitation.
Furthermore, McGinnis was an African American, and the woman he killed was White. He had an all-White jury. It has become increasingly evident that the death penalty in the United States is racially biased.
Feedback St. Patrick a Catholic
On March 17, the Kansan identified St. Patrick as a Catholic, a bishop appointed and installed by the bishop of Rome, the Pope. St. Patrick was responsible for ordaining clergy and dispensing the other sacraments of the Catholic Church as outlined in the New Testament. He was dead before the first canon of saints was written, but he was always Catholic, not a Calvinist.
The source for the "Fun Facts"
accompanying the article is a
Protestant, anti-Catholic source.
The Christian Classics Ethereal
Library at Calvin College that maintains a different version of history: "Patrick predates the Roman Catholic Church, and he was considered a saint before the Roman church created its own canon of saints."
St. Patrick no more predated the Catholic Church than Jesus Christ himself. This deliberate misrepresentation of the truth is historical revisionism of the worst kind, wrapped in a legitimate news venue. Did the Kansan investigate this source? Would the Kansan have cited the Klu Klux Klan for an article on Black History Month? What
the Kansan has done is confirmed that anti-Catholicism is the last fashionable prejudice, legitimizing anti-Catholicism. Calvin College is re-writing history to its own end, something an academic paper like the Kansan should abor. What would the Kansan position be on Holocaust revisionism?
Calvin College's Christian Classic Ethereal Library is exactly that: ethereal, made of hot air and lights, not facts.

Chess club seeks mates
Lack of funds backs group into corner
By J. R. Mendoza Special to the Kansan
David Wang, Prairie Village freshman, can testify that starting an organization is no easy task. Wang resurrected the Chess Club at the University of Kansas at the beginning of the fall semester and is the organization's president.
The club meets at 8 p.m. every Tuesday at the Pioneer Room in the Burge Union.
Rohit Parthasarathy, club treasurer and Overland Park sophmore, said the group had advertised heavily for members. The group has five members, and three serve as club officers.
"We've put fliers on campus." Parthasarathy said. "I think a lot of people saw the fliers."
Wang said a chess club existed on campus before but was dissolved four years ago.
"David had the idea of starting it in Parthasarathy said.
Wang said one of the problems the organization had was lack of monetary support. The group asked Student Senate for money, but were told the request was turned down because chess boards do not fall under Student Senate finance guidelines. And although the group has a treasurer, it does not require members to pay dues.
"We have no income," Wang said. "And we have nothing to play on."
The club asked sources outside of the University for money but received no support, Parthasarathy said.
"We only wanted money for basic necessities," he said. "We have to bring our own chess sets because we don't have them here to use. Somebody should help us out."
Despite the funding problem, Wang and Parthasarathy agreed that the club was worthwhile.
"It's an intellectual activity," he said. "It's very little luck, just pure skill and a lot of strategy."
Rohit Parthasarathy club treasurer
"We're doing this as community service run out of our own pockets." Wang said.
Eulalio Muñoz Jr., Topeka sophomore, said he saw an ad in the Kansan for the club and joined because he loved to play chess. Muñoz said he had played chess for 10 years.
"I've never played seriously, just for fun," Muñoz said. "I'm not good. I just love to play."
Parthasarathy said that he had played for six years and that the game was a good hobby.
"it's an intellectual activity," he said. "It's very little luck, just pure skill and a lot of strategy."

Resume Builders' platform includes drastic policy change
By Erinn R. Barcomb
By E琳 K. baratona
write@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
If leaders of the Resume Builders, a student coalition, have their way, parking fines will be nonexistent. Instead, violators will cart students around campus in rickshaws.
The basket-like, man-powered vehicles and motor scooters could get students around brick campus streets, as all automobile traffic would be eliminated from Mount Oread, said Luke Atkinson, presidential candidate and Leawood junior.
"I think it would look better, and you wouldn't have to worry about people getting hit," said David Jack, vice presidential candidate and Andover junior.
Attkinson said KU on Wheels buses would be rendered obsolete, but they could be either sold as scrap metal or given to National Merit Scholars.
This is just one of many ideas on the Resume Builders' platform.
"There are so many positives and so few negatives," Atkinson said. "And the negatives can be dealt with."
The coalition would work to allow alcohol at football games.
Atkinson said allowing alcohol could raise spirits and money for the University. If a drinker became rowdy, Atkinson said, surplus KU Public Safety Officers could remove them.
"That's not going to kill us if we don't have it," McBride said. "I'm interested in supporting all of the philanthropies and getting all of the non-greekes involved in that."
Sara McBride, Topeka junior who is running with the coalition for a liberal arts and sciences seat, said she was not too concerned about seeing alcohol on the Hill.
greek organizations, to get involved with Habitat for Humanity.
"We could take those excess cops and put them at the stadium," Atkinson said. "They just look for trouble."
"If we did that, we'd be able to build more," she said.
n McBride said she would like students from all areas, and not just
Atkinson also said he would like to see the number of Student Senate meetings cut in half. Student Senate now holds two committee meetings and two full Senate meetings a month.
He said he would like to conduct meetings at local strip clubs, such as Juicers, 913 N. Second St., or The Flamingo Club, 501 N. Ninth St.
A trivial pursuit game against Chancellor Robert Hemenway is high on the Resume Builders' list of priorities. If Hemenway won, Atkinson said he would not only quit the race, but quit school. If the coalition won, Hemenway would have to resign.
"I've heard it's just a big gossip session." Atkinson said.
■ The coalition announced its slogan: "A vote for the Resume Builders is a vote for babies ... because we like babies ... as long as they are not ours."

United Students establish platform
Kansan staff writer
Creating online enrolment was students' No.1 concern, according to a United Students coalition survey.
More than 1,000 surveys helped the coalition develop its platform.
The United Students coalition has plans to improve the lives of students, and coaltion leaders think they have what it takes to get it done.
"I think the biggest obstacle is probably that the University doesn't see it as a priority." Marshall sad.
Walker said that students not getting involved in the implementation of online enrollment also was a problem.
"I think there are a lot of great issues out there," said Marlon Marshall, vice-presidential candidate. "One thing I'd like people to keep in mind is who will be able to get things done."
Ben Walker, presidential candidate, said to make changes at the state and administrative level, it took leaders like himself and Marshall who knew those in charge.
The coalition also would like to get the Kansas Legislature to comply with a Tuition Bill of Rights that would, among other things, make financial aid increases proportional to tuition increases.
"I think this is a good time to do this," Walker said. "A lot of legislators were mad after the increase."
In the past, the University has given student governments the
runaround when it came to online enrollment, Marshall said.
"A lot of student concerns are not things Student Senate can pass legislation and change." Walker said. But Senate could accomplish tasks, by passing resolutions and forming task forces, he said.
beyond the Student Senate Legislative Awareness Board.
Marshall said his favorite part of the platform involved a shift in philosophy for Student Senate. Instead of focusing on handing out money, the coalition would like to implement more student services, such as making national newspapers available on campus and allowing meal cards to be used at places like Wescoe Terrace and the Kansas Union.
Walker said lobbying efforts could include other student organization
"I live in the (Jayhawk) Towers and I want to eat while I'm working in my office (in the Kansas Union)." Marshall said.
Tanisha Jones, Nunemaker senator who is running with the coalition, said that aside from the main platform she would like to see an increase in minority recruitment.
"There's not much representation on campus," Jones said. "The Chancellor wants to do that, but I want to see them increase their efforts a little bit."

Fifteen vending machines add juice, cans to campus
Bv Doua Pacev
by Doug Tatey
writer@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
Tanned students are not the only new things at the University of Kansas since spring break ended.
The University and Coca-Cola placed 15 new vending machines in areas around campus during break. The additions include Minute Maid juice machines, can machines and 20 oz. soda machines like those already in place.
The Coca-Cola Company owns Minute Maid.
The machines were placed in classroom buildings on campus.
"There was a mutual agreement between Coke and the University to add the machines," said Theresa Klinkenberg, University director of administration. "This will help Coke with their product selection."
Klinkenberg said some vending machines were taken out of scholarship halls at the halls' request because of a need for space.
In spring 1998, the University signed a contract with Coke for $7 million up front and $450,000 a year for 10 years in exchange for exclusive rights to sell its products on campus.
One health-conscious student welcomed the new additions.
"I think it's great for people who don't want to drink carbonated drinks," said Matt Jordan. Leawood sophomore. He said he would purchase vending machine drinks now that juice was available.
Klinkenberg said the University got the idea for the new machines after two journalism classes recommended ways to market Coca-Cola products.
Previously, if students wanted juice, it had to be purchased at the Kansas or Burge unions or Wescoe Terrace.
"I don't think it will take anything away from those places," Klinkenberg said. "We've placed them in areas that I don't think will affect them."

College student dies after boat sinks
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — A boat carrying at least nine college researchers studying spiders and scorpions sank off the coast of Baja California, killing as many as three people and prompting an international search for the missing.
Four people swam to safety on a nearby island and were rescued early yesterday, said Lisa Lapin, a representative for the University of California-Davis. A search was on for the others.
The school said graduate student Mike Rose and a visiting Japanese scholar were killed. The Coast Guard also said two people died, although the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City confirmed three deaths.
Among the missing was Gary Polis, chairman of the schools' department of environmental science and policy and one of the world's leading experts on scorpions and spiders, said Paul Sabatier, the department's vice chair.
The boat was one of two 22-foot inflatable crafts carrying a total of about 20 people on the trip Monday to research spiders and scorpions on an
island near Bahia de Los Angeles, a remote bay 250 miles south of the U.S.-Mexican border.
The two boats became separated on their return when strong winds whipped up 4- to 6-foot waves, UC-Davis said in a statement.
It was not clear who else was on board the boat that sank
from what we understand, there was a mix of students, faculty and visitors from Japan," said Pat Bailev, another school representative.
The boat that made it reported the other craft missing late Monday, prompting a search by the Coast Guard and the Mexican navy.
Mexican naval ships and Mexican and Coast Guard aircraft searched the area yesterday under clear skies. Coast Guard representative Shannon Knight said rescue crews would conduct a first light search today.
Located in a rugged, desert landscape, Bahia de Los Angeles is a tiny collection of hotels and tourist campgrounds that is a popular destination for sports fishermen, kayakers and wildlife biologists.

Up all night
They sleep as the city works and work as the city sleeps. As Lawrence darkens, they prepare to begin their days.
Night owl regulars, students pulling all-nighters and the moon keep them company.
They rarely get enough sleep, are plagued by shoplifters and face drunken bar rats with fresh beer breath. They have lost touch with friends who work during the day. And often, they work alone, leaving themselves vulnerable to what the night has in store for them.
They work the graveyard shift at the late-night and 24-hour businesses sprinkled throughout Lawrence. These are their stories.
Midnight munchies
Jimmy John's Gourmet Sub Shop; 1447 W. 23rd St.; 1:30 a.m.
Jessica Jessica, Colby junior, has worked Mondays,
Wednesdays and Saturdays at Jimmy Johns for the last
month. She comes in at 11 p.m. and gets home at 3 a.m.
on weeknights and 4 a.m. on weekends.
Luckily for her, she doesn't have class on the days after she works. However, her class schedule has set her sleeping pattern, and she is unable to sleep past 9 a.m., regardless of when she went to bed.
thor
Denise Svaglic, Lawrence resident,
laughs as she tells stories about interest late night customers she has encountered at her job. Svaglic works the night shift at Kwik Shop, 845 Mississippi St.
Although the sub shop was empty at 1:30 a.m. yesterday morning, Veeh said the number of customers drifting in as well as ordering deliveries was fairly constant. "Saturday night is the most unique," she said. "We get a lot of drunk people hanging all over each other. We have some regulars who are loud and come in all the time. "
Although Veeh works the sandwich-making station alone during the late night hours, accompanied at times by a lone delivery driver, she said she hadn't felt concerned about her safety.
Graveyard grocers
Dillons; 3000 W. Sixth St.; 2 a.m.
The Dillons customer service desk is closed, as is the film developing counter. Only one lane is lighted.
Anthony Nieto is the solitary cashier, and he works five and sometimes six nights each week. He works from 10:30 p.m. until 7 a.m. in the required Dilions maroon polo shirt and name tag.
He goes to bed about 4 or 5 p.m. and wakes up about 9:45 p.m. He said that he gravitated toward late night work and that it didn't faze him that most people slept while he worked.
"It would be useful for me to work during the day, I like working at night because it gives me free time during he day," said the
story by Heather Woodward photos by T.J. Johnson
Lawrence resident and former KU student. Nieto attended the University of Kansas from 1983 to 1987.
On his days off, Nieto maintains a normal schedule.
On his days off, Nieto maintains a normal schedule. "I've pretty much trained myself to go to sleep whenever I want to." Nieto said, pausing to help one of the many customers who wandered in for late-night purchases yesterday morning about 2 a.m.
Because the store is short-staffed, Nieto said he had been working six shifts a week since December, which doesn't allow him much time for friends.
"I don't socialize much," he said.
Although Dillons has a security guard at night, Nieto said shoplifting was a sporadic problem.
"One night there was a shoplifter who took a swing at me," he said.
After-hours apothecary
Walgreens Drug Store; 3421 W. Sixth St.; 2:30 a.m.
Walgreens was empty, save one yesterday morning around 2:30 a.m. — Charlie Downing, who was busy sticking color names on rows of Loreal nail polishes in a rainbow of colors.
The Lawrence resident was attracted to the nighttime job, which he has had for the last five months, because he works a seven-day week and has the next week off.
"On my week off, I try to get back onto a normal schedule." he said. "But it doesn't always work."
Spending nights at Walgreens doesn't make for a lot of time with friends.
"It's weird, because sometimes I get home, and I'm ready to be social and have a beer at 9 in the morning," Downing said, rarely turning away from the makeup display.
The drugstore is not immune to strangers in the night. Downing said a man once passed out on the floor by the cash register and that another man had stalked a female employee, sitting in his car watching the store long after he had been kicked out. And there are a lot of shoplifters, especially of the cigar-smoking breed.
"They want the blunts, so they tear off the tags and walk out with them." Downing said. "Generally, though it feels safe. I'm tough."
Late-night lodge
Chrystal Faucher, Lawrence sophomore, was busy reading *Odyssey* by Homer for her Greek and Roman Mythology class at close to 3 a.m. yesterday morning in the Hotel Lawrence lobby.
Hotel Lawrence; 740 Iowa St.; 2:45 a.m.
She sat alone in the plush pink room filled with tables, a couch and a glowing television set.
Faucher divides her week between clerking at the new hotel and working at Munchers Barkery, 925 Iowa St. She is awake during the graveyard shift seven nights each week.
Keeping such odd hours has taken its toll on Faucher, who has dropped out of the University two times but is making A's and B's this semester. Doing her homework between the doughnut delivery and calls from guests and customers seeking reservations has helped Faucher improve her grades.
"I fell asleep in class a lot," she said. "I'm really tired all the time. I usually sleep three to four hours a day, on a good day, five."
When tired on the job, Faucher busies herself with physical tasks, such as vacuuming.
Faucher has stuck with graveyard shifts because she
gets a higher wage than the regular workers. She makes $7,25 an hour at Hotel Lawrence and uses her paychecks to pay rent, bills and tuition and to save toward her upcoming wedding.
"I don't have much of a social life any more." Faucher said. "I see my friends once or twice a week for a couple of hours."
Past midnight at the pump
Kwik Shop ; 845 Mississippi St.
3 a.m.
The Kwik Shop at Ninth and Mississippi streets is never really empty when Denise Svaglic is working, which is five nights a week. Her friends are always sure to stop by, visit and keep late night prowers at bay. Two visitors kept her company yesterday morning, cracking jokes, speaking animatedly and listening to music.
Although Svaglic has witnessed a cast of colorful characters rotate in and out of the gas station — the guy who mooned her, the man who searched through the trash and the woman who began screaming uncontrollably in the dogfood aisle — she is devoted to the regulars.
Svagli, Lawrence resident and former supervisor of Wescso Terrace, works at night so she can spend time with her 9-year-old son when he gets home from school. Two close friends take turns staying with the child during the nights when she's away.
"Right now I'm on a Guns 'n Roses kiss," she said with a hearty, contagious laugh and a flip of her long blond hair.
"I know so many of the customers because this is a neighborhood store, and I'm familiar with a lot of them on a first-name basis." Svaglic said.
The Best in Cherry Cobb
Lawrence police constitute a large portion of the regulars, too, which Svaglic appreciates since she has to call them about four times a month about disturbances in or around kwik. She also estimated that shoplifters entered the store three times a night.
To show her appreciation for her loyal customers, Svagliic cooked a full buffet on New Year's Eve. She single-handedly prepared three types of meat, eight salads, assorted vegetables and desserts for the revolving door of customers who rang in the new year at the gas station.
It's 3:30 a.m. and graveyard shifters are halfway done. As the sun rises, they will head home for a breakfast that tastes like dinner, say "good day" as they slip into a slumber that sounds like "good night," only to rise again with the stars and work in a city that is theirs while it's dark.

After playing 32 of it's first 33 games on the road, the Kansas softball team is glad to be...
BACK AT HOME...
...and three Kansas catchers have been trying to fill the void left
Story by Rebecca Barlow & Matt James
during a recent
hitting slump. Whether it's filled when the 'Hawks begin play at home this Saturday or today in Fayetteville, Ark., one thing's for sure: there's no place like home.
KU
Saturday, April 1 Kansas vs. Texas A&M 1 p.m. Jayhawk Field
t's not the favorite topic of conversation around the Kansas softball team right now.
Backup catcher Katie Campbell squirms a little in her chair, looks around and quickly moves to the next subject.
"We've had a little bit of trouble with that." she says.
Truth is, the Jayhawks have been struggling at the plate during the last two weeks. For instance, the team has had seven hits and no runs in its last three games. Kansas has been shut out 11 times this season and is now 17-16 overall and 0-2 in the Big 12. But no one is making excuses.
She's talking about hitting. And she's being nice.
"I don't think anybody on the team would say things have gone how we thought they would
go," says coach Tracy Bunge. "I think we thought we would have a lot more wins and would be more consistent offensively."
And because they need to find that consistency, nobody's starting spot is safe, says centerfielder Shelly Musser, who has the only Jayhawk batting average above .300, at .352. Bunge has changed the start line-up, the batting order and even has started players at different positions.
All that swapping has landed three Kansas catchers in the starting lineup at once on several occasions. Senior Heather Sims, sophomore Leah Tabb and Campbell have shared time behind the plate, with Sims getting most of the starts. But Tabb and Campbell have been hitting, and like Musser says, "you hit, you play."
Tabb has been starting at designated hitter, and Campbell has found her way into the lineup at first and third base.
"They're trying to mix things up a little," Campbell says. "I pinch hit a few times, and I just hit aggressive, so they've tried to get me in there. My heart is in catching, but wherever I play is fine."
But Bunge isn't giving up on her slumping hitters yet, and she's quick to point out the differences between baseball and softball — where the mound is closer and pitchers can not only change speeds, but make the ball break in four different directions.
College softball isn't a sport where hitters dominate. Musser says that for the most part, it's about slapping the ball, blooping hits and just making contact.
The Jayhawks are hoping that a few home games will get the bats going again. So far they have played only one of their first 33 games at home — a Feb. 29 game against Washburn, which began a six-game winning streak. Starting Friday
against Texas &M, Kansas plays eight of the nine games at home.
"Playing at home does make a difference," Tabb says. "You have your own fans out there. You just have a completely different feeling when you're at home."
That's a feeling that Campbell thinks the Jayhawks need.
"Some games we're fired up, and some games we just go out there and play," she says. "Once we get a hit, we get going. But if we don't get a hit, we kind of get down. We need to be more consistent."
there's that word again — consistency. And Bunge knows the Kansas catchers are crucial to accomplishing not only consistency, but also other team goals. She says it's not only their abilities, but their personalities — very different personalities — that

Outfielder excels not only on field but also in class
By Brandon Krisztal sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Student-athlete. That term could not be more accurate when describing Kansas senior outfielder Katie Malone.
In the fall of 1996, Malone, a Dodge City native, walked on to the softball team. She earned some playing time as a freshman, and eventually earned a scholarship. But her hard work on the diamond is matched by her dedication in the classroom.
As a freshman, Malone earned a 4.0 grade point average and was named to the Academic All-Big 12 Conference First Team. For three years she was a chemical engineering major, and although her GPA slipped to 3.95, Malone was named to the Academic All-Big 12 Team her sophomore and junior years. Last year, she was named to the Academic All-District First Team.
Malone gets motion sickness and cannot study on the bus — where a college softball player spends a lot of her time — and has missed plenty of classes because of softball games. Malone said that at times, balancing both studies with athletics had been taxing.
"It was a real challenge," she said. "Chemical engineering was difficult. I would always get so wrapped up just trying to make it through. Learning to manage my time was key. For me, the way I learn, it was huge for me to be in class. It made it tough, but my teachers were always real helpful."
This year, Malone, third on the team with a .239 batting average, decided to switch majors and apply to the School of Pharmacy. A couple of weeks ago she was accepted to the program.
Tom Molinazi, assistant dean in the School of Engineering, is the liaison from the School of Engineering to the

athletics department. He said that he hated to lose Malone from the department but had been extremely impressed by the student-athlete.
"Fantastic woman," he said. "Any time a person majors in the field of engineering while playing a sport shows they are really committed. Playing a sport can be like a second job. You have to be a master at time management, and she has probably one of the highest GPAs of any athlete in engineering that I can remember." Jayhawk softball coach Tracy Bunge's praise of Malone was equally high.
"Katie Malone has been a real joy to coach," Bunge said. "She has been somebody since day one, when she started as a walk-on, has busted her rear end to prove herself. It's a tough thing to play a sport, and she never let it be a label. She worked hard. When I came in, I didn't know who she was, and what we got was a bonus. She is a role model by her work ethic."
Malone is unsure what area of pharmacy she will make make her focus, but she is certain that she will not spend too much time around the team as a graduate assistant coach, even though she'll be on campus for four more years. She does admit that she will miss her teammates, but she is determined to have a memorable senior campaign.
"I am not good at setting goals with numbers," she said. "I am enjoying being a senior more than I thought I would. It's different when you know this is your last season. I want to have a sense of fulfillment and leave it all on the field. I don't want to have any regrets."
Sibling rivalry not an issue for softball sisters
By Mike Miller

Kansan sports editor
Sibling rivalry? Not with these two.
Sophomores Katie and Kelly Campbell, twin sisters, roommates and teammates on the Kansas softball team, maintain that they've never had to compete against each other, thus there is no rivalry.
In fact, they're actually each other's biggest fans. They admit that sounds a little corny, but it's true.
"We've never really played the same position," Kelly said. "So it's never been a competition."
ball."
Kelly, a pitcher, 5-0 and second on the team in ERA, has been easy to support. It has been a little tougher for Katie. She came to Kansas as a catcher, but has played several positions this year because the team has two other catchers. She has earned praise from coach Tracy Bunge for her consistency. Katie said it had been tough but she had managed.
"It's hard to deal with sometimes," she said. "But it doesn't matter because softball is soft-
And the whole time, despite the difficulties adjusting, there's her sister cheering her on — though once she had to be reminded.
"I cheer for her all the time, but
I cheer for once I was just standing there while she was pitching and Shawn n o (Stan w i x) came up and was like 'You're not cheering for your sister! What kind of sister are you?" she said "Well I

started cheering right away — not that I ever really stopped."
The closest they've ever come to a rivalry was the fight they got into last summer.
"She told you about that?" Katie said, laughing. "I actually threw the first punch and I think I hit her in the lip," she said, trying to hold back a laugh this time.
When asked who won the fight,
Katie asks what her sister said.
When told that Kelly claimed victory because of the superior strength in the pitching — punching — arm, she scoffed.
"Naw. I'd say it was a tie." Katie said.
That's the way it has been their whole lives.
Growing up in a baseball house — their grandfather, Charles, played baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers — they've been around sports most of their lives. As high school seniors in Anacortes, Wash., they were co-conference players of the year, while winning back-to-back championships. Both were two-time, All-Conference selections, and excelled off the field, as both were named Top 10 outstanding students and were members of the National Honor Society. But for all of their athletic gifts, neither knew exactly what it would take to play sports in college, but their father, Con, helped out.
He played football for two years at the Naval Academy, but couldn't help trying to make his daughters better softball players.
"It was always, 'Hey let's go play,' or 'Let's watch some videos.'" Katie said. "He can be a
little much, but I'm thankful for it because I had no idea what it would take to play in college."
Their parents moved to Ashbloom, III., shortly after high school, and they both attended Northwestern. They transferred after one year because the school wasn't exactly what they wanted. After a few months, they decided on Kansas after meeting Bunge and a couple of players.
"At first we weren't sure if we wanted to go to the same school," Katie said. "But it turned out that we liked the school enough, and we'd get to play softball too."
Now, as roommates and as sisters they are together often, whether it's at practice, on the road or when they and about seven other teammates participate in religious organizations including Chi Alpha or Fellowship of Christian Athletes. While on the road, they try to find a church to attend on Sundays, but time usually doesn't allow for that.
Perhaps their strongest bond has been looking out for each other — they both have diagnosed with narcolepsy, a disorder marked by sudden and uncontrollable brief attacks of deep sleep. Neither has ever suddenly fallen asleep during a game, and attacks havent plagued them extensively
since doctors diagnosed the condition three years ago.
"I might fall asleep in class, and I really shouldn't drive for more than an hour, but really, it's been OK." Katie said.
---
Though the narcology
can be a pain, it's not the toughest thing in their lives.
"Once the season gets over, it might be kind of tough to live together," Kelly said. "Now we're on the road so much, we're hardly ever around each other."
So could another fight break out?

"Naw. We're too close," she said. "I hate to admit it, but we are. Besides our mom would kill us."
Kansas softball looks for victories in conference play
By Rebecca Barlow sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team, 17-16 overall and 0-2 in the Big 12 Conference, is not where coach Tracy Bunge thought it would be at this point in the season.
it would be at this point in the season. She remains optimistic because Big 12 play — what she considers the most vital part of the season — is just beginning.
The games are important because they determine what teams will play in the conference tournament.
"I look at the Big 12 as the primary part of the season," she said. "Everything before that is a tuneup for the Big 12. It's a way to get people sharp, get better every day and prepare for the Big 12."
"At the beginning our team wanted it so bad, we tried too hard," said catcher Leah Tabb. "Finally, we are just playing the game and enjoying it."
But the team's early part of the season was a rough one. Opening the season with 18 road games did not help, and the 13 games since its only home game Feb. 29, hasn't helped either. Tough competition also was a problem. Kansas opened its season with losses to No. 3 Fresno State and No. 9 Arizona State.
The Jayhawks took advantage of playing on their home field during a doubleheader Feb. 29. The two victories against Washburn marked a turning point for Kansas.
"That was the first game we got fired up," said catcher Katie Campbell. "Coach Bunge pointed out our puzzle goals, and we got back on track of what our goals were."
Each puzzle piece had a goal that served as both a motivational tool and a visual aid for improvement. It had played an important role in bringing the team together, team members said.
"We started to realize each of us is an important part of the team, and without one person, we are not the team we could be." Campbell said.
"Texas did not see KU softball," said catcher Heather Sims. "Thems did not happen. We could not get the bats going and put things together. We need to learn from that and move on."
The Jayhawks opened Big 12 play last weekend against Texas and suffered two losses, 2-0 and 5-0.
The Jayhawks will face Arkansas today when they play a doubleheader in Fayetteville.

Golfers walk away with team title

Kansan sportswriter
With the Big 12 Championships looming, the Kansas men's golf team finally was able to put three strong rounds of golf together at the Colorado-Stevenson Ranch Invitational in Stevinson, Calif., firing an overall 877, beating Colorado by eight strokes.
The 'Hawks won last year's tournament beating Fresno State by nine strokes.
"It's a nice feeling to repeat as champions," said Kansas coach Ross Randall.
for the Hawks, this not only marked its first team title of the season, but it also is the second time in as many years the Jayhawks have run away with it.
"Colorado has a great team. We respect their ability, and if we were playing 36 holes today, they might have caught us."
The win gives the Jayhawks some much needed momentum heading into future tournaments, which include the Big 12 Championships in Hutchinson April 24-25. where the Hawks are defending champions.
"We just need to work on our final-round play a little more." Randall said. "We're starting to play better and show the progress we need to show with the Big 12 Championships coming up."

Kansas football dons pads for full contact
While most students are trying to settle back into school after spring break, members of the Kansas football team spent yesterday afternoon knocking one another around.
Despite the 11-day layoff, coach Terry Allen was pleased with how the team looked in its first day of full contact.
"They knew they were going to do it," he said. "Nobody got hurt. We needed to develop a little toughness anyway. I was really pretty pleased with things. I thought their tempo was pretty good, and they hit pretty well."
another are the team's first practice since March 16. That Thursday the team was scheduled for its first day of contact, but the inclement weather delayed it.
The Jayhawks put in three days of practice in "shells" or shoulder-pads and helmets before spring break. Sophomore linebacker Andrew LeClair said that
"I know a lot of people were winded after that first period," he said. "We could work on lasting a little bit longer."
"There was a decent amount of contact," LeClair said. "I guess I feel a little sluggish after all those days off. But it's always fun to get back into it and start hitting again, instead of just running around."
Junior linebacker Tim Bowers agreed with Allen's assessment that practices went well, but he said there were signs of fatigue.
Bowers said that the decision to hold the first day of contact until after the break might have been better because of the physical effects of contact.
the team didn't appear tentative, and he admitted that he might have been a step slow because of the hiatus.
"Either way it might have worked," Bowers said. "I think the soreness might have been better because there would have been that time to recover and get the soreness out. The first day there's always going to be sore-

sore today.
Redshirt freshman Derrick Mills is participating in his first spring practice. He said that having the first day of contact after the break didn't seem to have a negative effect.
"I think we responded pretty well." Mills said. "We weren't as anxious, and we remembered everything. There's no way (we'd forget plays) because our coach put it in our heads daily to remember our assignments."
The Jayhawks have the day off today and will resume practice tomorrow. They end the week with a controlled scrimmage at 11 a.m. Saturday in Topeka.
Defensive improvement keeps Kansas baseball strong
Bv Amanda Kaschube

Kansan sportswriter
When pitcher Pete Smart gave up a late-inning launch to center field last Friday against Missouri, his second shutout wasn't in danger because he had a solid defense behind him.
defense benchmark Center fielder Doug Dreher ran to the warning track — and into the wall — and grabbed the ball to end the inning.
"That was an amazing catch," coach Bobby Randall said. "The defense we have this year is better, no question. But there's been a couple of times when it's
not up to par. We're working on the pop ups."
but compared to last year, Randall said the defense had improved by leaps and bounds. The 'Hawks have had a small number of errors, at least by last year's standings — 396 errors last season compared to 123 at the midpoint this season. The older infielders, led by Ryan Klocksien, John Nelson and
Shane Wedd, have less than 20 errors among them. And it gives the pitchers, including Smart, more ease on the mound.
Randall: says team's defense has improved
we're definitely a better baseball team, especially in defense." Smart said. "Guys are coming out with confidence, and it makes a big difference."
tion from starting at second base to making diving catches in the outfield.
Third baseman Klocksien has committed only six errors this season. He speared line drives that kept Kansas in Friday's 3-0 win against the Tigers.
"He's becoming a better than average third baseman," Randall said. "He's really improved from the beginning of the season."
"Wherever you put Doug, he plays excellent." Randall said.
And there's Dreher. He made the transi
leth. Randall said.
In the infield, the Hawks have fared well this year. They have more double plays than their predecessors — last year's squad turned 46, while this year's team already has 39 killings.
The 'Hawks will take their tuned defense to Hoglund Ballpark for a non-conference matchup against the Westminster Blue Jays at 6 p.m. tonight. Kansas and Westminster have only had one meeting, which dates before 1920, and the Blue Jays claimed victory.
After rowing sportswriter finds destiny on dry land
I've been to basketball practice several times. I sit there and watch. Sometimes I take notes. Once, Roy Williams came and had a chat with me while the guys scrimmaged.
"Yeah, I'll give it a try," I told Catloth. "But keep in mind, there is a reason I'm a KU sportswriter and not a KU athlete."
"Then maybe we should let you coxswain instead," he replied. The coxswain is the small person in the first seat of the boat who does a lot more than shout "Stroke! Stroke!" Actually, she doesn't yell "stroke" at all. She steers the boat while speaking into a headset that projects her voice throughout the boat. Between her feet rests a small computer telling her how fast the boat is going, how many strokes a minute the rowers are averaging, and how much time has elapsed.
We negotiated, and I settled for both First, I traded places with Sara Canfield, who has the position of fourth seat portside. This is the section that the main power comes from.
I had nine women rowers staring me down. I couldn't balk. Although if I was subbing in for Collison, I would at least have had a prior knowledge of the sport.
After a crash course on how to hold the oar, we gave it a try. I'm pushing with my feet, pulling with my oar, trying not to catch any "crabs" — that means getting your oar stuck under the water in a current, and screwing up the rhythm of the whole boat — and I'm basically sucking at it. A couple of the women shouted an encouraging, "Now he's getting it!" but seriously, I had no clue. While the rest of the team rows in unison like a well-oiled machine, I'm just trying not to cause the $22,000 boat to flip. After a brief stint as a power rower, I figure I got in about six rows.
we make the guy go.
But not once has coach Williams looked at me and said, "Jonesey, wanna run? Sub in for Collison."
If you're laughing at my lack of athletic prowess, I'll ask you to keep it to a low chuckle. After all, rowing in this boat takes a lot more talent than it might seem. It's like trying to learn how to pole vault simply by watching some guy at the Olympics do it.
See JONESEY on page 4B
Last night was the first rowing practice I've attended. But as I sat in coach Rob Catloth's motor boat following the two varsity boats, he turned to me and said with a grin, "Wanna row?"

Finally, I get the easier job — the coxswain. All I have to do is sit there and act cool. Tell them how fast they're going and steer them down the middle of the lake. No problem.
But there is a problem. While I was rowing, they were going at a pace that is like a walk for them. Without me bringing them down, they now can show me what a sprint is like.
Continued from page 3B
Jonesy experiences open water
And one more problem. I'm 6 feet 4 inches and the coxswain is supposed to be more like 5 feet 4. So I feel like I'm trying to fit into the back seat of a Yugo by trying to squeeze my legs into this small spot.
I put on the microphone and feel
pretty cool. Now I can talk to the whole boat. Catloth warns me that even though I feel like I'm speaking normally, the whole boat can hear my voice, so I shouldn't yell. He didn't tell me what to do if I needed to scream.
I put on the microphone and feel
Catthot shouts for the boat to take off. The first stroke isn't bad. The second one provides a jerk. By the third, I feel like I'm about to be ejected into the river. My upper body is flailing back and forth in rhythm with the oars.
I grab on tight to whatever I can and concentrate on bracing myself against the violent pushes of the rowers. I'm not flailing anymore, but all I can do is look forward and pretend to steer. Meanwhile, I've forgotten to check our speed, I'm not talking to the rowers, and I'm steering us at a sharp angle across the river.
When, you're rowing, you're going with the flow. When you're the coxswain, you got to fight the movement of the boat.
Jones is a Mulvane senior in journalism.
"I thought you guys had given me whitish." I replied.
"You looked like a deer in the headlights," laughed Tara Lynn, the team captain.
Practice was finally finished, and I made it to dry land. After this, I feel like I might have a better chance posting up Eric Chenowith on the blue squad.
High school stars shoot for NBA
The Associated Press
college programs — Michigan State, Duke, Indiana, North Carolina and Kansas.
BOSTON — Neil Fingleton is 7 feet, 6 inches tall but he has been playing serious basketball for just three years and could improve with four years of college. For others in the McDonald's All American High School game, the NBA will come sooner. Maybe next season.
Kansas recruit DeShawn Stevenson won the dunk contest Monday night and Kansas prospect Trevon Bryant will be playing in the game as well.
The NBA, though, is the ultimate goal for those who will display their talents for scouts and fans in tonight's game at the FleetCenter.
Darius Miles has committed to St. John's. Eddie Griffin says he's going to Seton Hall. Others plan to go to top
said Miles, a 6-foot-8 guard from East St. Louis, III., yesterday. "The NBA, if it's there, it's there."
"That's what people are in college for, really. They're playing for one of those lottery picks. If I get a lottery pick, there's no need to go to college."
NBA stars such as Kevin Garnett, who skipped high school, show the leap can be successful. But there's a huge difference between being dominant in high school and decent in the pros.
"My No. 1 priority is St. John's,"

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Asbury says program lacked school's support
MANHATTAN — If Kansas State football coach Bill Seyder exceeded expectations in Manhattan, Tom Assbury fell far short of them.
During his six seasons at Kansas State, Asbury witnessed firsthand one of the greatest turnarounds in college athletics orchestrated by Snyder.
The
CLEARWATER
Asbury: mad about officials' handling of his dismissal
school's football team, once the losesting program in college history, was resurrected into a Big 12 power that eventually competed for a national championship. It was an achievement
Asbury failed to duplicate — in part, Asbury says, because he never had the level of support Snyer enjoyed.
"it's apparent that we haven't been held at the same level of esteem that the football program has, and that was something that, quite frankly, I was told when I was hired," Asbury said Monday.
Asbury spoke publicly for the first time Monday since he was fired March 10, calling Kansas State administrators unprofessional in handling his dismissal.
He also said that he and the school were far apart on a contract settlement.
Asbury has two years remaining on a contract that paid a base salary of $165,000 a year and a total package of about $380,000. On Monday he called contract differences with the school substantial.
Neither he nor his attorney would reveal any figures.
Asbury, 54, leaves with an 85-88 record, the first Kansas State coach with an overall losing record since Fritz Knorr in 1945. He finished this season on an 11-game losing streak to wind up last in the Bie 12 and 19 overall.
His replacement, Bulls assistant Jim Wooldridge, was hired three days after Asbury's contract was terminated. Wooldridge later signed a five-year contract in the $600,000 a year range.

Rangers fire coach general manager
NEW YORK — The New York Rangers fired general manager Neil Smith and coach John Muckler yesterday with the team on the brink of missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
"At times things don't work out as planned, and this is one of those times," said Dave Checkettle, president of Madison Square Garden. "In the best interests of the franchise and our fans, it has become clear that we have to go in a different direction."
The Rangers, who have a league-high $61 million payroll, have lost five straight games and are 1-8-1 in their last 10, falling out of the playoff race.
New York trails Buffalo by five points with four games to go for
the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Kansas museum gets historical trophy
NASCAR
CHAPMAN — The first trophy awarded in NASCAR history was won by Jim Roper, a Kansan, in 1950 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
And against the objections of NASCAR officials, racing fans will have to drive to the newly opened Kansas Auto Racing Museum in Chapman to get a look at the award.
Opened last November, the privately funded racing museum is filled with noteworthy cars that Kansans have driven to victory, along with bits of memorabilia that cannot be seen elsewhere.
Roper, a former Wichita resident, drove a Lincoln from Kansas to the North Carolina race track and won the first race that NASCAR ever sanctioned.
Roper gave the trophy to the Kansas racing museum, ignoring NASCAR officials who dearly wanted the prize for their own museum, he said.
Owner Doug Thompson, himself a race driver and the director of the ARCA Heartland Racing Series, had long wanted to enshrine fellow Kansas racers' accomplishments in a suitable building.
In his museum, Thompson has gathered hundreds of grainy black-and-white photographs, racing posters, 8 mm films, videotapes and artifacts that range from drivers' helmets to entire cars.

Jayhawk infielder good, but not quite that good
By Shawn Hutchinson
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansan sportswriter
Of the 40 pages that make up the 2000 Kansas softball media guide, page 13 might be the most attention grabbing.
That page is home to the player profile of Shannon Stanwix, Kansas' senior first baseman. Initially, theprofile looks as normal as the other 16 player profiles in the guide. But a quick glance at Stanwix's career statistics proves otherwise.
proves other wise.
According to her stats, Stanwix has hit 82 home runs in her career, driven in 252 runs, and has one walk in 533 at bats.
Stanwix smiles when asked about her record-breaking offensive onslaught that is in plain view for everyone to see. How has she managed to produce such outlandish numbers?
She takes one look at her stats on page 13,
smiles again and makes one key observation.
"All those stats are wrong." she said. "So don't pay any attention to those."
and so begins the story of Stanwix, the left-handed swinging, four-year letter winner for the 17-16 Jayhawks.
Paying a closer look to her stats in the media guide, it's easy to see that a slight editing error has caused the numbers to be wrong. In reality, Stanwix's numbers aren't quite as monstrous. But the senior does hold the Kansas career record with 18 home runs, and came into the season ranking fifth all-time in runs batted in with 62.
Kansas coach Tracy Bunge will attest that those particular numbers don't lie
"She's always been someone over her career
who has gotten big hits for us and has been a steady rock for us in the infiel." Bunge said. "The moment she came to KU she was our starting first baseman."
seating in its busier season. Stanwix came to Kansas in 1996 from Lawrence High School, where she was a two-time first team All-Sunflower League selection and a two-time All-Metro selection. That was enough to grab the attention of a handful of schools looking to add Stanwix to their rosters.
But Stanwix turned down the other schools and chose to stay in Lawrence. She responded by earning All-Big 12 Conference second-team honors her freshman season.
honors her best friend,
"I've always loved KU," she said. "I know I didn't want to go anywhere else. I bleed Crimson and Blue, you know?"
It's also well known that Stanwix has tried to stop the bleeding this season. Her senior year has been filled with disappointments. She has been struggling with her hitting, and her average has dipped from .282 last season to .224 this season. Stanwix said that she had been working hard to rid herself of the slump.
"If I could put my finger on the one thing that has caused me to go wrong this year, I would, but I can't," she said. "Mentally, I haven't been there."
Bunge acknowledged that her first baseman had seen ups and downs this season, but she said that regardless, Stanwix had impacted the softball team.
Bunge laughs when remembering how much Stanwix has changed from her freshman season to this season. Bunge said that Stanwix probably didn't say two words her entire freshman season, whereas this season, she has developed into a prototypical senior leader.
MAGIC

"I have been really amazed with Shannon this year because her maturity is really showing through," Bunge said. "She's never been one to toot her own horn. She has battled and
stayed with it much more than I expected her to.
"I keep waiting for her to get on fire, because I know it's going to come."
Catchers picking up slack at bat

make them special.
Tabb is a crackup, Bunge says.
"The one thing about Heather (Sims) is that she is a fiery kid," Bunge says. "She plays with a lot of emotion and wears her heart on the sleeve. She works with the pitchers well, and she does an excellent job understanding the game."
Tabb is a crackup, Bunge says. "You just laugh when you get around her," she says.
Bring up the subject of winning, though, and Tabb is all business.
"tree like I can do a lot better," she says. "I want to help the team out offensively."
offensively.
It seems everyone does. And to make sure everyone knows they play an important role, Bunge sticks a puzzle piece to each of their lockers with a phrase on it. They take the pieces to practice with them for that week, and if everyone does her part, the team fits the puzzle together after that weekend's game.
"It's a motivational, fire-up sort of thing." Campbell says.

Lawrence warriors battle it out in Medieval apparel
By Jim O'Malley

Kansan staff writer
The sights and sounds of Medieval combat reverberated in an unusual setting Tuesday evening.
The gym at Centennial Elementary School, 2145 Louisiana St., become a battlefield as the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anchronism held its weekly fighting practice.
About a dozen armored and helmeted warriors dueded with shields and heavy wooden weapons throughout the evening. Hard blows rang against shields and helmets, and sweating warriors retired to the sidelines after being "killed," their places taken by fresh fighters.
The society is part of an international non-profit educational and social organization for people interested in Medieval European history. The local chapter is called the Shire of Carlsby of the Kingdom of Calontir. It has about 35 members.
Lisa Hallberg, Academic Computing software trainer, is Seneschal, or president of the local chapter. She said that like Civil War reenactors, members try to dress and behave like people from

history. Members take on the persona of someone who might have lived in Medieval times, from A.D. 600 to A.D. 1600. The personas are all nobles, and most are warriors. But some members concentrate on period clothing, and others produce mead and ale.
“It's a really neat group of people,” she said. “I met my husband here. It’s a lot of fun, and you learn a lot about history — things you wouldn’t figure out without doing it.”
For example, she said she learned that armor chafed.

honor to declare themselves "killed" when they've taken a good shot to the head or body.
History was the appeal for some members, Cohen said. For others it was the fighting.
Todd Searls, Lawrence senior, is Gaius Aquilius, a Roman legionary from around A.D. 121. His character is technically outside the Medieval period, but he said the group is open to people interested in earlier times
Searls: said the fighting was a martial art. Though size and strength can help, it's largely skill-based. The society recognizes four levels of warriors - man-at-arms, for beginners; fyrdman, huscarl and knight.
The society's national meetings include battles between armies of more than 1,000 warriors. Searls said the movie *Braveheart* was probably the closest to the feel of it.
"Even though it's just playing, you'll never forget the friend who stays with you when there are 20 enemies coming at you," he said.
Searls said there were strict safety standards for armor, so injuries worse than bruises were rare. Insurance companies rate the fighting as safer than professional badminton, he said.

Universities' funds may be cut by House

TOPEKA — State dollars promised for faculty salary increases may be on the chopping block, some legislators say.
The state budget hits the House floor today, and University of Kansas lobbyists and KU-friendly legislators are worrying that higher education money may be an easy target.
money may be an easy target,
"New money is always the first to go," said David Adkins, R-Leawood and chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.
"New money" means the $21.9 million Gov. Bill Graves recommended to finance higher education restructuring, including a 5.9 percent faculty salary increase for the University of Kansas.
Last year's restructuring, which brought the state's 19 community colleges under the same governance as the state universities, came with a promise for increases in faculty salaries.
"I think we definitely had a target painted on our chest when we came out so well with the governor's recommendations," said Korb Maxwell, student body president.
The Senate passed its version of the budget yesterday, which left higher education money intact. But Jon Josserand, KU liaison, said the House could be a different story.
Representatives undoubtedly will propose spending money for programs not in the budget.
programs not in the schools. Josserand said. That money could come from programs already budgeted, namely higher education.
"If state spending keeps going on, the money is going to have to come from somewhere else," Josserand said. "Higher education is perceived as an easy target."
Adkins said that higher education money likely would survive today's first round and that the real test would come next week. On Tuesday, new state revenue numbers will be released. If the numbers fall below projections, the budget tightens even more.
"If state spending keeps going on, the money is going to have to come from somewhere else. Higher education is perceived as an easy target."

Even then, nothing is final until the session's end when the omnibus budget bill is enacted. The omnibus budget bill provides a final chance for the Legislature to decrease or increase spending.
Adkins said universities needed to make a case for why they should be a priority over other state programs.
higher education traditionally has not been very successful," he said.
KANSAS "The community colleges and the Regents institutions are all on the same page now, and hopefully they can stay together." Findley said.

However, some legislators said they were optimistic that this year would be different.
State Rep. Troy Findley, D-Lawrence, said the united coalition of community colleges and state universities would make it harder for legislators to cut higher education restructuring money.

But State Rep. Mike O'Neal, R-Hutchinson, whose constituency includes Hutchinson Community College, said he didn't know if that would make a difference.
We'll do the best we can.
Findley warned that talk that higher education money would be the first to go was dangerous because talk often led to self-fulfilling prophecies.
"We'll do the best we can," O'Neal said.
For Adkins, a former student body president, preserving higher education money is a matter of university involvement.
"We're now at crunch time." Adkins said. "And the universities really need to get engaged."

University committee readies for NCAA reaccreditation
The University of Kansas is completing its athletic accreditation process to ensure it will be eligible for participation in events such as the NCAA basketball tournament.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association requires that institutions reaccredit themselves every 10 years, said Reggie Robinson, chairman of the University's NCAA Certification Steering Committee.
robinson said the committee will have an open forum at 3 p.m. today at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.
"The whole idea of the reaccrediting process is that athletics departments will go through a kind of review on a regular basis," he said. "This is similar to the academic review process that universities go through."
The committee is in the process of completing its self-study
and will send it on to the NCAA in April.
Robinson said that nearly 60 people are on the committee to ensure that the University's Athletics Department will be certified.
Four subcommittees — comprised of faculty, students, administrators and alumni — have addressed each area that the NCAA looks at for certification, he said.
Robinson said the NCAA based the certification on four topics: academic integrity; financial integrity; governance and commitment to rules compliance; and equity, student-athlete welfare and sportsmanship.
Dede Seibel, McPherson senior and student body vicepresident, is a member of the equity, student-athlete welfare and sportsmanship subcommittee.
"Basically, what we did on the subcommittees was answer a host of questions that the NCAA had," she said. "Some of the
things I looked at (were) equity of men's and women's salaries, assistant coaches' salaries and locker room space."
Sibel said her subcommittee gave its report to the steering committee in November, which approved the report in January.
The NCAA will send a team of reviewers from other universities to the University for a campus visit for a few days, Robinson said.
"People just like the people on our subcommittees will come to the University for a few days to meet with us and to get a sort of campus tour," he said.
The University will be notified after the reviewers' visit about its status. Though it is likely the Athletics Department will receive certification, Robinson did not want to approach the process that way.
"I'd like to look at this process as an opportunity to take a good look at the University and see if the Athletics Department is doing what it should institutionally."
House rejects proposal to increase financial aid; close vote encouraging

TOPEKA - A Democratic proposal to guarantee more state financial aid dollars failed by only three votes on the House floor yesterday.
floor yesterday. The proposal made by State Rep, Troy Findley, D-Lawrence, would have required the governor to increase state financial aid by the same percentage as tuition.

the vote wouldn't have been as close."
Most Republicans did not support the amendment. The House vote, unlike the Senate's, was not strictly along party lines, however.
Plus, the tight vote changes next year, Walker said.
Findley attached his proposal as an amendment to another bill dealing with higher education.
Walker: Efforts to increase support for bill successful
"This amendment has not had any hearings, and it's truly a major change," said State Ren. Kav O'Connor, O-Rathe.
Findley had introduced the proposal in the House Education Committee, but the committee did not schedule a hearing.
committee of Education Committee chairman Ralph Tanner, R-Baldwin, said the proposal was unnecessary because Kansas already did more than its share to support higher education. The state finances 70 percent of the cost for a Kansas student to attend a state university, he said.
instead, Tanner said the issue was about party politics in an election year.
"The man who carried the amendment has the University of Kansas in his district," Tanner said. "It's a perfectly natural impulse on the part of the Legislature to want to encourage ease of access. I do feel, however, that 70 percent is quite a substantial load."
But Findley said even 70 percent was not

"I think that is definitely a very good sign. At the beginning of the semester, the vote wouldn't have been as close."
"The proposal offered today was an attempt to help keep the doors of opportunity open for many Kansas college students who depend on need-based student financial aid to access higher educational opportunities," Findley said. "As tuition continues to rise, we run the risk of closing

the doors of opportunity for many Kansas families and their college-bound children."
During the last seven years, tuition has increased about 30 percent, but the governor has recommended only a 5 percent financial aid increase.
4
However, the Legislature hasn't followed the governor's recommendations and has approved a 24 percent increase in financial aid during the past seven years.
As for the popular Democratic quip that higher education restructuring is being financed on the backs of Kansas students, Tanner said it just wasn't so.
"We've made too much of the fact that there were two tuition increases," he said. "We need to look at what a college education costs in this state compared to neighboring states. Kansas is going the extra mile."

KU graduate to discuss his book at Union today
Robert Day, author of The Last Cattle Drive and KU alumnus, will speak at 4 p.m. today at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The book, first published in 1977, is a fictional account of a University of Kansas graduate who is a teacher in a small, western Kansas town. He takes a second job as a rancher and drives cattle across Kansas.
"He's a person we're proud of." Dick Hardin, chairman of the English department, said of Day. "He's an amusing guy to talk to and he has a good sense of humor."
Day's book was to have been made into a movie that would have starred Jack Nicholson, but it was never filmed.
Day received his bachelor of arts and master's degrees in English from the University in the early 1960s. He was an artist-in-residence at the University in 1983 and was awarded the Best Short Stories in America Citation in 1992.
He is now an English professor and director of the O'Neil Literary House at Washington College in Chestertown, Md.
The Chancellor's office is sponsoring the free lecture, which is open to the public.

KU Med professor files discrimination complaint
a professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center announced yesterday that he has filed a discrimination complaint against the University of Kansas with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Fred Whitehead, associate professor of family medicine, was informed last fall that his contract would not be renewed. His position is not tenured, but he has worked at the Med Center for 21 years. He said that in deciding not to renew his contract, the University discriminated against him based on his age and his religion.
Jim O'Malley
In his complaint, Whitehead listed his religion as freethinker. He alleged that the Med Center sponsored many religion-related events but that officials harassed him when he sponsored a national conference on the Kansas evolution controversy in November.
"There is a clear pattern of favoritism for religious expression, while a secular humanist like me is dismissed entirely," he said.
Whitehead said he had also filed an academic freedom complaint with the steering committee of the faculty assembly of the Medical Center.
University officials said they could not comment on the discrimination complaint because they had not
received any notification of the filing.

Judge rules Clinton violated Privacy Act
WASHINGTON — Resurrecting an impeachment controversy, a federal judge ruled yesterday that President Clinton had committed a criminal violation of the Privacy Act by releasing personal letters to undermine the credibility of one of his accusers.
Clinton immediately disputed the decision, saying he reluctantly released the letters two years ago because it was the only way he knew to refute the allegations made by Kathleen Willey of an unwanted sexual advance.
U. S. District Judge Royce Lambert, a Republican appointee, concluded the president and three top White House lawyers disregarded an earlier court ruling in making Willey's letters public in the midst of the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998.
Lamberth's decision clears the way for a lawsuit filed by the conservative group Judicial Watch to delve further into the issue.

RUGAZI, Uganda — The children and neighbors who had looked on in horrified wonder for two days drifted away yesterday while workers continued to pull bodies through a narrow doorway onto the green lawn.

The latest collection of bodies was uncovered in the house of Dominic Kataribabo, an excommunicated Roman Catholic priest and a sect leader.
Chinese fear outcome of Taiwanese election
BEIJING — Chinese are abuzz about Taiwanese President-elect Chen Shuibian's stunning victory March 18 and whether his Democratic Progressive Party's pro-independence stance could reignite the 51-year-old Chinese civil war.
"We're all worried about this problem," said Li Chawen, an English major at People's University, a top Beijing college. "We don't know what America will do."
Chinese leaders say they're waiting to see what Chen does, but also warn they will attack if Taiwan declares independence. Since the election, both sides have restated positions that could keep them from negotiating a peaceful settlement.
Taiwan, which China claims as a Chinese province, is among the country's most emotional issues, and lack of information about the election and about Chen has fanned speculation.
China's tightly controlled state media have given scant details of Chen's win. It did not report conciliatory comments made by Chen, who has retreated from his party's pro-independence platform and proposed talks with Beijing. Most reports refer only to a new leader of Taiwan without using his name.
Tornado rips Texas town apart
The Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Cleanup crews sent huge dangling pieces of glass crashing to the pavement from Fort Worth's skyscrapers yesterday as rescuers searched for more victims of tornadoes that ripped through the city, killing at least three people.
"We still feel there may be more victims trapped in the debris," Fire Chief Larry McMillan said.
Three people were killed, one was missing and presumed dead, more than 80 were injured and dozens were left homeless as two twisters blasted windows out of dozens of offices and tore homes apart shortly after the evening rush hour Tuesday.

About 30,000 people were left without power at the height of the storm, with 2,000 still out yesterday afternoon, said TXU Corp. spokenwoman Pat Nichols.
Downtown Forth Worth, a city of 480,000 about 30 miles west of Dallas, was sealed off as crews pushed 200-pound pans of glass to the ground from 35 floors up.
Crews went floor by floor in downtown office buildings for a closer look at the damage.
"You will have one building that looks almost unscathed, and next door to that you have a building that looks like it's downtown Beirut," said Lt. Gov. Rick Perry.

The tornado that hit Arlington cut a path about two miles long and several blocks wide, destroying 93 houses, officials said. It next touched down in the Grand Prairie area about 10 miles to the east, destroying at least eight homes and damaging six.
ON THE RECORD
Many residents spent the night in their cars in their driveways rather than leave their damaged homes.

"Last night's tornado damage was a tragic reminder of the fierce power of nature. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families," he said.

Committee critical of financial aid policy.
Eligibility denied to drug offenders
By Erinn R. Barcomb
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Politicians and newspapers across the state could receive letters concerning a rule that prohibits some students from receiving financial aid if a resolution passes Student Senate next week.
University Affairs, a Senate committee, passed a resolution last night that criticizes a provision of the Higher Education Act that denies financial aid eligibility for a minimum of one year to students
convicted of a drug-related offense. The resolution will come before Senate next week.
"Denying aid to students is not a good policy by government," said Matt Gregg, fine arts senator. "This is saying the University of Kansas Student Senate is going to support the reform of this resolution."
In other Senate news:
Gregg said about 15 other colleges were taking similar measures.
A bill to form a Student Senate Judicial Board passed in University Affairs. The five-member board could serve as a supreme court for the University by mediating among students, student organizations and Senate.
Korb Maxwell, student body president, said Marlon Marshall, Student Senate Executive Chairman, and James Kitchen, dean of students, had been working on the proposal, which could take effect in September.
Maxwell said one goal would be to have the appointee represent diverse areas, such as race, gender, nationality and sexual orientation, without setting quotas.
"We want all viewpoints seen," Maxwell said. "What we want is to have these be meritorious appointments."
Aaron Profilt, Overland Park junior and University Affairs committee member, whose amendment for selection was
added to the bill, said the board could be selected within the first 20 school days of the semester.
A bill to change the campus lighting fee to a campus safety fee failed 7-10 in the Student Rights Committee. The bill would have allowed the fees to be spent on more than lights, including
adding more blue phones and adding campus phones to University buildings.

The Finance Committee passed a bill that would have Senate review a student fee which is to be matched by state funding.
State funding.
The state was supposed to pay $2
for every $1 students paid for a technology fee, but the state ended up paying only $1. Moreover, the library fee was supposed to be a matched fee, but Gov. Bill Graves did not include it in the budget.
"With all of the budget cuts that have taken place, I'm concerned that students will pass fees thinking the state will match it," said Christian Lutz, graduate senator. "They're not meeting their obligation to the students of the state."
The Student Senate budget for next year passed the Finance Committee with a few changes, which included budgeting more money for the KU chapter of the National Council of Negro Women.
The budget bill, which Senate sent back to the committee last week, will go up again next week.

Dream Factory is an organization that grants dreams to chronically and seriously ill children between 3 and 18 years old, said Deb Caldwell, the organization's treasurer.
Moore said the latest dream went to Drew Anderson, a 10-year-old Kansas City, Kan., boy with an undiagnosed muscle disorder that forces him to walk with one of his hands behind his head and one behind his back to support himself. Anderson, who has been in and out of the hospital several times, also lives with a pipe in his throat to help him breathe.
"The wanted to meet Garth Brooks," Moore said. "And the week before our spring break, he met Garth when he was in spring training with the New York Mets."
Moore said Brooks gave Anderson several mementos, including batting gloves, two autographed bats that Brooks used in training and several photos from the 30 to 45 minutes they spent together.
it was a huge success, and I breathed a big sigh of relief." Moore said. "It was nice to hear they had a great time and to see Drew's face when he talked about every single picture. He was so excited about it."
That look — the smile that lights up a child's face — was one of the reasons that Moore started with the Dream Factory.
"I wanted to do something that I would really enjoy." Moore said. "It's something that I am really proud of."
Caldwell said that Moore, who is currently the only University of Kansas student who volunteers with the Dream Factory, had done an incredible job granting wishes since her first one, when she and some of her friends recreated the Wizard of Oz for a 3-year-old girl with Spina Bifida — a vertebral defect in the spine.
"It was one of the neatest dreams ever done in my opinion," Caldwell said. "She even found a little puppy that matched exactly and gave it to the little girl."
Caldwell said that the dream requests could come from anyone associated with the children and that to qualify
the child needed to meet only medical guidelines, not financial restrictions.
"We also make very,very certain that the dream is the child's dream and not the parent's dream for the child." Caldwell said. "Then we go for it, and we do everything we can to make the dreams happen."
Caldwell said there was a restriction on the amount of money spent for each dream but that the Dream Factory does not disclose that information.
Although Moore has just finished the Garth Brooks dream, she is already working on helping a 12-year-old Lawrence boy with cystic fibrosis get a hot tub.
Caldwell said she would like to see more KU students like Moore volunteer.
"She has just risen to the occasion every time." Caldwell said. "She is a remarkable young lady and really deserves a lot of praise."
Chemist to lecture on religion and science
By Jim O'Malley writer@kanson.com Kansan staff writer
A five-time Nobel Prize nominee in chemistry is scheduled to speak about science and religion at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 6 at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
Henry "Fritz" Schaefer, professor of chemistry and director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry at the University of Georgia, will give a free public lecture titled "Science and Religion: Conflict or Coherence?"
Schaefer is a world-renowned scientist and a committed Christian.
"My position is that there isn't a conflict between science and religion," Schaefer said. "Some people disagree, so it's a useful talk to give."
The Kansas evolution controversy is not the focus of his lecture, but Schaefer said he expected it to come up in questions from the audience.
He said he didn't have a position on the Kansas evolution controversy yet but expected that he would be disliked by both sides. He believes that some creationists won't like his acceptance of the evidence that the earth is 4.8 billion years old. He also expects some scientists to disagree with his position on Darwinism.
"I do have some reservations about a proper distinction between microevolution and macroevolution." Schaefer said.
The state's controversial science education standards accept microevolution — change within species — but reject macroevolution, the idea that new species evolve by genetic mutation and natural selection.
"I assume I'll be hit with questions from all sides," he said.
Schaefer's visit to the University is sponsored by both the chemistry department and the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, said Brian Thomas, Lawrence graduate student in physics and Intervarsity Christian Fellowship member. He said Schaefer also was scheduled to give a seminar for the chemistry department during his visit.
"He's definitely Nobel Prize caliber and tops in his field," Johnson said.
Carey Johnson, associate professor of chemistry, said Schaefer was the kind of speaker the department liked to have for its seminars.
Schaefer's five Nobel Prize nominations without a prize resemble soap opera actress Susan Lucci's string of 18 Emmy nominations without an award.
But Johnson said he didn't know if that made Schaefer the Susan Lucci of chemistry.
"Maybe she's the Fritz Schaefer of daytime TV," he said.

Timing of bus route removal puts students with leases in bad spot
The transportation board's decision to eliminate the West Sixth Street bus route, although it creates opportunities for some students, is unfair to others because of its timing. Students who signed their leases with Boardwalk Apartments before the the board decided to cut the route did so expecting to be able to take advantage of the West Sixth Street bus route. Now they may be faced with a lack of transportation.
In the future, the board should return to its old method of making route deletions in the fall, and route additions in the spring.
Transportation board's decision to cut West Sixth Street unfair to residents of Boardwalk
The other option students living at Boardwalk have is to take the Crestline bus route. However, to do this, students must first cross four lanes of traffic — an inconvenience that students who signed a lease with Boardwalk had not anticipated.
As a trade-off, the transportation board added a route at Iowa and
31st streets. This gives students the much-needed opportunity to reach stores such as Wal-Mart and Super Target. The route also will service Jefferson Commons, where a number of students reside. However, despite the fact that financial concerns may make the board's decision to cut the Boardwalk route legitimate, the board should have made the decision earlier, before students signed leases with Boardwalk. At least this way, they would have known that the West Sixth Street bus route would be unavailable.

Evolution speech should be welcomed
On April 7, Phillip Johnson, a professor of law from the University of California at Berkeley, will deliver a public lecture about evolution at the University of Kansas. Johnson is known for his books in which he uses an attorney's reasoning to scrutinize scientists' logic in defining Darwin's evolutionary ideas.
While certain measures have been taken at the University to reaffirm the institution's encouragement of science education in Kansas, it is good that University officials decided to allow this lecture to take place on campus.
ture of take care. Recently, at a few universities across the nation, individuals expressing unpopular opinions have been shut down. We should be thankful for the chance to gain

access to opinions, whether in agreement or dissenting, in the form of educated guest speakers on campus.
The attention brought upon this state through national and international media last year after the Kansas State Board of Education's decision to de-emphasize the teaching of evolution in public schools has been the impetus for much discussion, anger and frustration. It's obvious that both extremes in opinion stem from serious emotional and professional commitment.
Last semester, the Hall Center for Humanities brought professor Stephen J. Gould to campus for a lecture, in which Gould hit upon his ideas about evolution and its vitality in the learning place. But as fair is fair, certain contingencies on campus and in Lawrence think that a subject of this matter, weight and controversy warrants further debate and broader exposure of both sides. That's exactly what will happen at Budig Hall next month.
Regardless of our opinion about the teaching of evolution, we must remember that this lecture will represent the fact that the University welcomes the practice of free speech.

Perspective
Group has great name, but the joke is on you
The new Resume Builders coalition is a group that many serious voters in the Student Senate election might not even begin to consider. Its logo, a grinning jackrabbit wielding a frothy mug of beer, is the personification of what seems to be a cartoon coalition. Its platform includes making beer available at football games. Coalition members admit they're in it only for the laughs, and they have expressed little or no regard for the functional value of Senate. In fact, it's become the central theme of their campaign.
The Resume Builders strike me as being the same people who raised cheers in grade school by promising a soda machine in every hallway. In high school elections, they were the guys who found write-in votes really funny if they weren't running for office themselves.
I like this coalition. First of all, I like the name. The Resume Builders is the best party name since the 1800s when the Whigs and the know-nothings were top dogs

ot the day. I suppose the name Reform Party also makes me laugh, but that's another story.
The Resume Builders' name cuts to the heart of people's suspicions about politicians. Every time I ran for any kind of office, even in high school, I found myself questioning my motives. I have to admit that sometimes one of the big draws was just the idea of having a title. The name Resume Builders is a humorous and somewhat taunting response to the question "Why not get it out in the open?" You might not like this kind of honesty, but you at least have to respect it.
second. I like their attitudes. Presidential candidate Luke Atkinson's smiling mug in the March 10 issue of the Kansan made me aware of what the national presidential election is missing: fun. Any attempt by Al Gore or George W. Bush to crack a joke or appear relaxed only further illustrates
After being subjected to media coverage of the national election, I came to realize and appreciate that the University of Kansas doesn't have such a problem. Humor still can exist at this level. In fact, college may be the last level at which humor and fun are important parts of campaigning. Where else is voter cynicism flipped around into a humorous campaign slogan? And where else except college can political groups raise more money from keg parties than from shady foreign investors?
their robotic demeanors. Since they clinched their parties' nominations, it seems as if they don't even try to be funny anymore, at least intentionally.
Although all of the coalitions appear to be honest and laid-back, the Resume Builders are without a doubt the champions of this approach. Even though I'm laughing at what they're doing, I don't completely agree with it. If their campaign really is just mocking Senate, the premise of the joke seems to be that Senate is unproductive and self-serving. As a voter, this is not something I'm entirely comfortable with.
My direct experience with Senate is limited to having attended a few University Affairs committee meetings, but the people involved always struck me as being hardworking and genuinely concerned with what they're doing. Not all of the legislation they oversee has earthshaking ramifications, but that doesn't qualify them as worthless. If the Resume Builders hope to turn their grinning frog of a coalition into a political prince, they should try and prove that they can incorporate humor into the campaign without debasing the offices they're running for.
Whatever happens, this year's election promises to be an exciting one. A couple of experienced coalfires combined with two new ones should offer students a variety of strategies and candidates. The Resume Builders will be able to look back at this year and reminisce about how their fledgling coalition sought to bring a humorous revolution to Senate. What will be even more memorable is if they can actually pull it off.

Even though the opportunity of an organized boycott of this question has come and gone, there is mounting opposition to this provision across the nation, and reform movements already are in motion.

contraction to what was printed in the Kansan on March 8, the U.S. Department of Education has stated that it would allow colleges to distribute funds to students who did not answer the question, but the department would be sending notices to these students warning that they must alert the department if they had been convicted of drug-related offences. This could mean the potential loss of aid or the risk of penalties associated with lying on FAFSA forms.
Association, Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice and other groups have formed the Coalition for HEA Reform to support the repeal of this provision. These groups have become aware of the discriminatory and negative effects this policy will have.
ey will have.
Once implemented, the provision will have a racially discriminatory effect because drug enforcement is focused heavily on minority communities. African Americans are 12 percent of the population and 13 percent of drug users, but represent 55 percent of drug convictions and more than 70 percent of incarcerations, according to a 1995 study by the Sentencing Project, an independent group for criminal justice policy analysis, data and program information based in Washington, D.C.
This provision is class-discriminatory as well because it will affect only low to moderate-income students who qualify for financial aid. Moreover, the provision includes a clause that would allow students once again to become eligible for aid after completing a rehabilitation program, which includes two unannounced drug tests. This also class-discriminatory because rehabilitation programs mainly are available to those who have the money to pay for them. People can steal, rape and even kill, and still be eligible to receive federal financial aid, if they have completed a sentence, been released and admitted to school.
Reform desperately is needed not only for students who now receive financial aid, but also for future students who will seek aid. U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, a D-Massachusetts, has submitted to Congress a bill that would repeal the Higher Education Act's drug provision. Support is needed to pass it. Please contact your representatives and urge them to support this. You also can sign a petition online at http://www.RaiseYourVoice.com, and can get involved in the reform movement by getting more information at http://www.u-net.org, the movement's home.
It's time to let our government know that denying a person the right to education by adding this extra penalty to existing penalties is not effective.

Banning guns hurts law-abiding citizens
I'm writing in response to the March 28 editorial on the issue of gun control and the idea that banning handguns would eliminate gun crimes. Since the editorial cites the tragic shooting of a 6-year-old girl in support of trigger locks on all guns, let us interject a needed dose of reality into this debate.
First, the little boy who killed Kayla Rolland lived in a crack house. Second, his father was in prison, his mother a junkie. Third, the boy's uncle, a career felon, left a loaded (stolen) pistol lying
around the crack house. And fourth, it would take two hands to count the felonies committed by the "residents" of this crack house, child abuse being only one.
aduse being only inadvisable It's a cruel insult to the intelligence of the American people (and to little Kayla's memory) to suggest that a drug-abusing felon would take time away from his crack dealing to check that his trigger lock was properly secured. Gun-controllers and gun-banners never have been able to deal with one fundamental reality, and to avoid doing so, they constantly engage in scare tactics and extremist rhetoric to obscure their indefensible
position.
In short, criminals don't obey the law! If guns were banned, does anyone really think that criminals would turn theirs in too? The only people who would be harmed would be law-abiding citizens who would comply with the law. Demonizing the National Rifle Association and responsible gun owners like myself will not save lives — only strict enforcement of existing laws can do that.

Students use aliases to score free magazines
By Doug Paocy

Kansan staff writer
Call it mail-order shoplifting.
Some students are giving magazine companies fake names so they do not have to pay for a subscription.
"I do it because I want various magazines and I don't want to pay for them," said David, a KU student. David did not want his real name printed.
Magazines are aware of the problem, but there is little they can do about it.
"Every magazine has a problem with fraudu
lent people," said Andrew, a customer service representative for U.S. News & World Report. "We have no way of verifying who someone is when they send in a subscription card. We don't ask for a copy of their driver's license."
Andrew was not allowed to give his last name for security reasons.
Getting free magazines is as simple as sending in the reply card, said Michael, another KU student who subscribes on an alias.

David said he got the idea of using a like name from other people in his fraternity house.
“It's fraud,” he said. “These people are misrepresenting their own identity knowing that the magazines would rely on them.”
"I've seen so many people do it and not get caught or penalized," he said. "Plus, it would be tough for a company to pinpoint who gets the

magazines I subscribed to in a house with a bunch of guys."
"How will they ever be able to trace this fake name back to me?" he said. "There are 80 other people living here."
Andrew said that U.S. News & World Report did not require people to pay for their subscription before they get the magazine, but sent out an invoice about the same time the first magazine was sent.
For a $22 week subscription, Andrew said, the magazines would stop arriving at about the seventh week.
enth week if the invoice was not returned with payment.
After that, the subscriber's debt would be given to a collection agency that would prosecute the debtor on behalf of the magazine, he said.
David has received invoices for his aliases, he said, but he hadn't returned them.
Though neither Michael nor David said they were worried about getting caught, both said they were not going to subscribe to more magazines using a fake name.
"It seemed like a good idea at the time," Michael said. "But it's not worth the hassle. I want to read these magazines, I can go buy them."
Major workouts may cause minor injuries
By Warisa Chulindra
writes @kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
With the warmer weather, more students have started exercising. But doing too much too soon may lead to minor injuries.
Sandy Bowman, physical therapy department supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said many students might have started exercising during Spring Break and returned with minor injuries.
For orthopedic or musculo-skeletal injuries such as sprains, strains and muscle and joint pain, students may visit Watkins's sports medicine clinic on the second floor.
Visits to the clinic are included in the student health fee. The clinic is open from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, and appointments are preferred.
Bowman said the inactivity of win ter followed by sudden activity during spring led to injuries.
She said running injuries such as tendinitis, shin splints and pulled muscles were most common — acute injuries that need one to three visits.
"They'll run three miles when they haven't done anything for the past few months," Bowman said.
Although minor injuries may go away, such injuries can become a recurring problem, she said. That is why the department tries to pinpoint the cause of the injury and educate
students about preventing recurring injuries.
Students needing additional treatment will be referred to the physical therapy department. State law requires that students have a doctor's referral for physical therapy. Charges will be made for X-rays, laboratory work and prescription medication. Possible treatments include heat, ice and electrical treatment. Crutches and braces are also an option. Costs range from $20 to $60.
Kristen Lonard, Topelka junior, has gone to physical therapy twice — for headaches and stomach problems.
"They're really great," Lonard said. "They talk to you about what they're going to do and what's involved. They met with me and helped me figure out what was causing my headaches."
But not all students are aware of the physical therapy services.
A. J. Dalaney, Overland Park senior and a member of the men's ultimate frisbee team, said he didn't realize until recently that Watkins had a sports medicine clinic or a physical therapy department. He said he would use it more often now that he knew.
"If I run across any injuries, instead of going to a chiropractor or a health club, I can use the student health center," Delaney said. "I think people are undereducated about their injuries."
To schedule an appointment for the sports medicine clinic call 864-9507.

Mike Cohen, KU alumnus, is Sir Mihangel ap Gruffydd, a Welsh warrior. He wore a titanium chain mail shirt, but that was for appearance, not protection. Cohen said chain mail wasn't needed for reenactors' duels. It was effective against edged weapons, and members use only blunt wooden weapons. Members need rigid armor with padding underneath to protect against hard blows.
There's enough demand to support a full-time armorer in Lawrence. Richard Jones has made his living making helmets and armor for the past eight to 10 years.
There are a lot of potential buyers - nation wide, the society has 30,000 to 40,000 paid members.
"And the sport kind of chews up equipment," Jones said.
the society requires fighters to have rigid armor covering the knees, elbows, groin, kidneys, hands, head and throat, Jones said.
Jones uses his own products. He fights as Richard of Wolfwood, an 11th century Saxon warrior. He said the group also has a lot of Vikings.
"Good ones, not Hagar the Horrible," he said. Jones said he loved the early Middle Ages, but didn't idealize it.

Speakers focus on minorities
By Ryan Blethen

Kansan staff writer
Tavis Smiley, the host of the Black Entertainment Television's Talk Night, is delivering the opening speech tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at the Kansas Union Ballroom. It is the only symposium event open to the public. The public can attend other events for a late registration fee of $125.
Vincent Tinto, a professor from Syracuse University and an expert on student retention in higher education, will be the closing speaker at 3 p.m. Saturday at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The symposium gives faculty and administrators who deal with recruiting and retaining students of color an arena to discuss and share their ideas.
Robert Page, assistant director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, started the symposium three years ago.
"I saw the need for the retention of students of color," Page said. "I wanted to see what else people were doing and exchange ideas that we could use at KU."
In between speakers, there will be three sessions devoted to the topics of recruitment and retention.
The first session will be led by Demetrius Greer, director of the office of graduate and professional opportunities at Tennessee State University. Greer will focus on a program he developed at Tennessee State that feeds students of color into graduate programs.
The second session will be led by Karen Webb, director of recruitment and retention in the graduate school at the University of Georgia. Webb will tackle the issue of recruiting students of color to graduate programs.
The last session will be led by John Augusto, assistant dean of the graduate school at KU. Augusto will speak about how prospective students use the Internet to research graduate schools.
Brenda Maigaard, associate director of student financial aid, who worked on the symposium committee, said it presented an opportunity for collaboration between academic affairs and student affairs professionals.
Augusto said there were numerous reasons that students of color do not make the jump to graduate school. One of the reasons is the current strength of the economy.
"When a good economy comes, it's hard to get a student to go back into school," he said.

Matt Doherty's Irish to play in NIT final
NEW YORK — After years of studying under some of the top coaches in college basketball, Notre Dame's Matt Doherty is prepared for his most difficult test.
The Associated Press
The Irish play Wake Forest in the National Invitation Tournament final at Madison Square Garden tonight — the schools' first meeting in basketball.
"Playing an ACC team brings back good memories for me," Doherty said yesterday. "But I want to create new memories."
Doherty played for Dean Smith at North Carolina from 1980 to 1984 and was a starter for the Tar Heels' 1982 NCAA championship team. He later spent seven seasons as Roy Williams' assistant at Kansas.
"About 75 to 90 percent of how I am comes from Dean Smith and Roy Williams," the first-year coach said. "But I've sprinkled my own personality into the team."
The Irish (22-14) have used a tough, physical style of play, combined with a stifling zone defense to get to their fourth NIT final, and first since losing to Virginia in 1992.
Doherty was frustrated when the Irish weren't selected to play in the
term what he "I'm excited to be in the NIT, and I wouldn't trade a first-round loss in the NCAs for a shot at at play for the NIT championship," Doherty said.
NCAA tournament, but he is content with his team's situation.
The trip to New York City has been something of a homecoming for Doherty, who was a McDonald's All-American at Holy Trinity High School in Hicksville, N.Y. He had a large contingent of family and friends on hand for Notre Dame's 73-52 rout of Penn State on Tuesday night.
"This is a business trip for me, but I have to say that standing at center court during warmups. I saw people I haven't seen since eighth grade." Doherty said. "People were waving and calling me, and that's really nice. But I haven't had a chance to relax yet. I'll be able to relax after Thursday night's game."
Notre Dame beat Michigan 75-65, Xavier 76-64 and Brigham Young 64-52, all at home, to get to Madison Square Garden. The Irish got 18 points and eight rebounds from Troy Murphy, and held Penn State to just 33 percent shooting.
Doherty doesn't expect it to be as easy against Wake Forest (21-14).
which uses three 6-foot-9 players — forward Darius Songa, center Rafael Vaidrureta and backup Josh Shoemaker — to dominate the boards. At 6-9, Murphy is the only Notre Dame starter taller than 6-6.

peers, and we will show how that goes against our zone."
Doherty: Hopes to end his first season with a win.
The status of Notre Dame starting point guard Jimmy Dillon, who sprained his left ankle Tuesday night, is also a question.
"His ankle's pretty bad, and it's being treated," Doberty said. "But we don't know at this time whether he'll be able to play or not."
the Demon Deacons outrebounded ACC rival North Carolina State 46-31 and held it to 29.5 percent
shooting (18-for-61) in their 62-59
overture victory in the semifinals
Despite the win, Demon Deacons coach Dave Dove was alarmed at the uncharacteristic 23 turnovers his team committed.
"That was not us out there." Odom said.
write Wake Forest led the ACC with under 14 turnovers per game, Odom knows his team must handle the ball better against Notre Dame if it is to win its first NIT title.
"They're as good a team as any in the country as far as playing as a team," Odom said. "They play with a great deal of physicality, shoot the ball and play together defensively as much as they do on offense."
Odom acknowledged one thing his team might not be able to control Thursday night — the crowd.
"Every Irish Catholic that can get a ticket will be in Madison Square Garden," Odom said. "I don't think there are too many Southern Baptists in New York."
Another key for Wake Forest, which won at Vanderbilt, beat New Mexico at home and won at NIT defending champion California to get to New York, will be the play of senior guard Robert O'Kelley.
Carruth accused of paying to have girlfriend beaten
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rae Carruth, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, paid $2,000 for someone to beat his pregnant girlfriend and cause a miscarriage in the weeks before her fatal shooting. *The Charlotte Observer* reported.
The newspaper cited sources familiar with statements made to police by three men accused with Carrith of killing Cherica Adams last year.
The Observer reported an alleged co-conspirator, Van Brett Watkins, was paid $2,000 to break into Adams' home and beat her.
the death penalty
Prosecutors have said Carruth masterminded a plot to kill Adams.
Adams was never beaten, but on Nov. 16 she was shot four times while driving in Charlotte. Doctors delivered Carruth's child, Chancellor Lee Adams, by emergency Caesarean section after the shooting. Cherica Adams died Dec. 14.
According to *The Observer*, sources report that statements by Carruth's co-defendants describe how Watkins, 39, was hired by Carruth to break into Adams' home and beat her. Watkins said he didn't take Carruth seriously but later feared Carruth might target him, too, because had taken the $2,000 and done nothing.
after the shootout, Carruth was charged with murder along with Watkins, Michael Eugene Kennedy and Stanley Drew "Boss" Abraham. Prosecutors plan to seek
The sources said that co-defendants' statements described how Carruth plotted the attack on Adams and gave Kennedy $100 to buy a gun and ammunition hours before the 24-year-old woman was shot.
The Observer reported that Kennedy told police that Carruth had called him as Carruth and
Sources said that the men told police that after buying the gun, Kennedy, Abraham and Watkins waited in a gas station parking lot near where Carruth and Adams were watching a movie.
Adams left the theater, Kennedy, Watkins and Abraham were supposed to follow Adams' BMW in their car, while Carruth drove a Ford Expedition in front of Adams.
Kennedy drove, while Abraham was in the passenger seat and Watkins in the back seat, sources said. When Carruth stopped the Expedition Adams was forced to stop, too, and the men pulled alongside the BMW, stopped and opened fire, the newspaper reported.
A magistrate, in denying bond in the case, previously identified Watkins as the triggerman.
The co-defendants told investigators that they had tossed the gun and other evidence out the window after fleeing the shooting scene, the sources said.
Meanwhile, Adams dialed 911 on her cell phone to report she was shot and needed assistance.
Carruth's lawyer has said the former wide receiver was miles from the shooting scene, talking on his cell phone to a friend in Atlanta.

COLLEGE BASEBALL
Familiar grounds meet demise at World Series
OMAHA, Neb. — They called it Dingerville.
During the College World Series each summer, it was a free home for dozens of visitors from Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, Florida and other states around the country
Mayor Hal Daub used to hang out at the dirt and grass area where people parked their recreational vehicles or pitched their tents near Rosenblatt Stadium.
But people attending this year's June 9-17 CWS will find Dingerville is no more.
In its place, the city will build a recreational vehicle parking area on the northeast side of the stadium, put in electrical outlets and charge people to stay there.
The old Dingerville lot, which was south of the stadium, will be landscaped into a small park.
The city will spend more than $350,000 on the RV parking lot project, which should be completed for the start of this year's series.
Parking spaces in the new RV lot will run about $200 for the duration of the tournament.
MLB
Cubs, Mets troubled by field's loose soil
TOKYO — Talk about having trouble on foreign soil.
Mike Hampton struggled to get his footing on the pitcher's mound.
Several hitters stumbled coming out of the batter's box. And the grounds crew kept busy all game, digging up dirt.
"I don't think it was ideal, but both teams played on it." New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine said after last night's 5-3 loss to Chicago in the major league opener.
A day earlier, when they lost to the Tokyo Momiuri Giants in an exhibition game, several Mets players complained about the dirt at the Tokyo Dome. Pitcher Bill Pulsipher it potting soil.
Japanese baseball officials took the criticism seriously, ordering that new clay be immediately brought in from a riverbed 60 miles away to help smooth the problem.
By the second inning, a small army of groundskeepers had run out to the field to work around home plate. Soon after, they moved to the middle of the diamond.
Apparently, though, those efforts did not do the trick — not on the black dirt of the mound nor the brown dirt in the batter's boxes.
"They're having a tough time getting out of it," commissioner Bud Seilig told Fox Sports Net, which televised the game back to the United States. "They need to work on the dirt a little bit."
NFL
Chiefs sign tight end to three-year deal
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tight end Mitch Jacoby has agreed to a three-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, club president Carl Peterson announced Tuesday.
The Chiefs did not release terms of the contract.
Jacoby, 26, played in six games for the Chiefs on special teams in 1999, with two tackles against Pittsburgh. The former Northern Illinois player was a backup tight end in four games and caught one pass for 6 yards against San Diego.
Jacoby, 6-feet-4 inches, 120 pounds, was acquired from the St. Louis Rams in August for a conditional pick in the upcoming 2009 draft.
Jacoby had two seasons with the Rams, where he played in 19 games and had two catches for 10 yards and 13 special-teams tackles.
League votes to keep replay another season
PALM BEACH, Fla. — The NFL again approved instant replay, voting 28-3 yesterday to keep the system for the 2000 season.
Kansas City, Arizona and Cincinnati were opposed in the least controversial replay debate in the last 15 years. Twenty-four votes were needed for approval.
The vote was the same as the one last year, when replay was brought back for the first time since 1991, but his time there was little discussion on the matter.
The format featuring the coaches challenge also will return. The system allows challenges of calls by coaches before the last two minutes of each half. A replay judge determines which plays are reviewed by the referee in the final two minutes of each half.
"There were 11.0 games where it was never used, and 95 where it was used once," Tampa Bay general manager Rich McKay, a co-chairman of
the competition committee, said Tuesday. "It wasn't intrusive. That's what we wanted from the system. It's an insurance policy to fix the (officiating) disaster that just occurred."
Broncos look to future will release quarterback
DENVER — Bubby Brister, the former heir-apparent to John Elway, will be released, The Denver Post reported yesterday.
Brister, who led the Broncos to a 4-0 record as a replacement for Eiway during the 1998 Super Bowl-winning season, was benched last season in favor of second-year quar terback Brian Griese.
Brister fell farther down the quarterback roster as the Broncos, rumored to be interested in San Francisco 49er quarterback Steve Young, recently signed former Detroit Lion Gus Frerotte.
"I appreciate everything coach (Mike) Shanahan has done for me, but now is the time for both of us to accept this change," Brister was quoted as saying. "I've only got so much time left, and I'd like to see what opportunities lie ahead."
The 37-year-old Brister has played with Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York and Denver during his 13 seasons. He completed 96 of 160 passes for 1,121 yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions as a Bronco.
"I don't want to spend my final year holding a clipboard," Brister said. "My body is in good shape, my arm is sound. I think I still can play."

Kansas football looks to improve defensive tenacity
By Allan Davis sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
To play winning football, physical dominance is the name of the game.
All defensive and offensive players — with the possible exception of the quarterback — need to be able to out-muscle and dominate their counterparts on the other team. It means letting the other guy know who's moving who in the struggle for position and yardage. And that seems to be something Kansas coach Terry Allen is trying to instill in his team.
"I think it's important for us to get a little tougher, physically and mentally," Allen said. "I think we have some guys that are good football players, but they have to develop a little mental toughness, and this is a good time to do that."
Tuesday was the first day the Jayhawks practiced in full pads, and some serious hitting was happening. Allen says more can be expected.
"We're going to do a lot of hitting Thursday, Friday and Saturday," he said.
At 11 a.m. Saturday, the 'Hawks will scrimmage at Shawnee Heights High School in Tecumseh, just east of Topeka. The first team offense and the first team defense will scrimmage — and a lot of hitting is anticipated.
Some of the biggest hitters are the inside and outside linebackers. Because of their experience, the Kansas linebackers should be a strong point of the Jayhawk defense. Eight lettermen including six who have starting experience — return from last year's team, which should make for fierce competition at the four startning linebacker spots in the 'Hawks 3-4 defensive setup.
"I think it's important for us to get a little tougher, physically and mentally."
Terry Allen
Kansas football coach
Junior Andrew LeClair — who, at 6-foot-6 and 255 pounds, started all 12 games at inside linebacker last year and earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors returns as the Jayhawks' leading tackler with 102 total tackles.
"There's quite a bit to know and understand on the defense," LeClair said. "They're simplifying it now this year. It's been a good system; you just have to know how you fit in and what passes you're responsible for. I guess I understood it decently, and it worked out pretty well for me."
LeClair also said that there was a lot of competition at linebacker.
"We have nine linebackers probably that can play," LeClair said. "There's by no means anybody who has a definite position right now."
LeClair's height helps him to see over offensive linemen even though some offensive linemen are as tall as he is. LeClair couldn't get taller, but he has added 10 pounds since last season.
"Being a little heavier helps taking on the guards," LeClair said. "Basically what we're doing is over the guard and center, so it does help."
Marcus Rogers, a 6-1, 235 pound junior who started the final four games of last season, is listed as the other No. 1 inside linebacker. Senior Dariss Lomax also will bring experience to the Jayhawks defense, having started the first eight games last season before suffering a knee sprain. Senior Chris Doyle, also a letterman, adds depth inside.
Competition at outside linebacker appears to be hot and heavy, too. Senior Tim Bowers started 10 games last year at outside linebacker and earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors on the coaches' team, but on the spring depth chart he is listed behind 6-4, 252 pound senior Chaz Murphy, who started five games last season.
Junior Algie Atkinson, 6-5, 260 pounds, started eight games last year and is listed on the depth chart as the starter at the other outside position. Senior Victor Bullock is now the backup at that position.
year are several redshirt freshmen, including 6-3, 220 pound Glenn Robinson, who is listed as a backup at inside linebacker. And waiting in the wings, scheduled to arrive in August, is 6-2, 222 pound Columbus Wooley, a first-team junior college All-American at linebacker.
Making the linebacker positions even more competitive than last
Allen and his wife, Lynn, celebrated the birth of their third child, a boy on March 17. Alexander Gene Allen — 20-inchs, 8 pounds and 5 ounces — joins siblings Angela and Chase in the Allen household.
Star power will bolster Relays' return
By Sarah Warren sports @kanson.com Kansan sportwriter
The World's Fastest Man and some of his fleet-footed companions are signed on to help bring the Kansas Relays back with a bang when they return April 19-22.
Maurice Greene, world record holder in the 100-meter dash, is scheduled to compete in the meet, which is back after a two-year hiatus.
And, just as on the track, a bevy of talented athletes are following his lead. Olympians Tim Harden, Jon Drummond and Ato Bolton are committed to compete in the Relays as ..
"With the Olympics season upon us, these top stars of track and field will be at the top of their game," Kansas Relays meet director Tim Weaver said. "Any time that Maurice, or any of these elite athletes steps on the track, world records are in danger."
A. A. M.
Elite indeed.
Bite into
Greene, a Kansas City, Kan. native, not only holds the outdoor 100-meter record at 9.79 seconds, he also holds the indoor 60-meter record at 6.39 seconds.
Greene: Holds the world record in the 100-meter dash
Games.
Bolton won two gold medals at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and won the 200-meter dash in the 1997 World Championships and in the 1998 Goodwill
Drummond won the 200 meters at the 1997 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and claimed a silver medal in Atlanta as a member of the 400-meter relay team.
Harden, a native of Kansas City, Mo., was also a member of that silver medal-winning team.
Cream of the crop female sprinters are scheduled to make an appearance at the Relays as well - namely Inger Miller, Torrie Edwards and Anianette Kirkland.
Miller was ranked third in the world in the 100-meter dash in 1998 and was a member
of the 1996 Olympic gold-medal winning 400-meter relay team. Edwards was ranked fifth in the 100-meter event in 1998, while Kirkland placed eighth in the 60-meter hurdles at the 1998 USA Indoor Championships.
"It will be exciting to have such talented women athletes with us," Weaver said. "Their efforts will cei
tainly lead us to some of the fastest times of the year."
But Greene will be the main attraction.
"I think it's great just for Kansas to have him here," sophomore thrower Andrea Bulat said. "I know that it'll be nice just to get more people in the stands and he'll help to do that, especially since it's just starting up again."
Freshmen set their goals high
Young talents hope to rebuild baseball team
By Amanda Kaschube sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
After the three-game series against Texas when the Kansas baseball team went 1-2, nine freshmen gathered in the outfield and made a pact.
"We told ourselves that when we were juniors and seniors, we would make regionals and then the College World Series," Kevin Wheeler said. "We knew we were good in high school, and we want to change the program around."
Lofty goals for a bunch of players who are only halfway through their first season at Kansas. But if anyone is up for the challenge, these freshmen
Second baseman Baty, shortstop Spanish and designated hitter/pitcher Wheeler all have seen more playing time than expected. And in a team filled with upperclassmen talent, that means something.
Their team chemistry is evident. They live together in Jayhawker Towers and all have fought for a role on the starting roster.
u led by Ryan Baty, Casey Spanish and Wheeler — are.
"They've all made so much progress throughout the season," coach Bobby Randall said. "This is one of my best freshman classes ever. They have talent all over."
"I came in asking for an opportunity, and I didn't expect anything," Baty said. "I took advantage of the opportunity that was given to me. This is a totally different game from high school to college in pitching and the speed of the game — they're both faster."
But the trio has made an exceptionally smooth transition.
ly smooth translation
Spanish, a two-sport letter-winner
at nts nigh school in Savage, Minn., had his first taste of quality play time during spring break when he filled in for the injured John Nelson. Spanish had two hits in the 'Hawks loss to Oklahoma State on March 16, and Randall noticed Spanish's quick adjustment to the college game.
"They never know when they'll be in the lineup, but they have to be ready at a moment's notice." he said. "Casey did an adequate job at shortstop filling in for John. He got over his nerves quickly."
So did Baty. During his first college at-bat, his hands shook so much he couldn't concentrate. But after a few swings, his nerves were calmed.

Baty, a native of Wichita, home of perennial baseball powerhouse Wichita State, said he chose Kansas because of the strength of the Big 12 Conference. And he jumped at the chance to be part of the rebuilding process.
"You always have the freshmen jitters," said Baty, who has a .250 batting average. "But you get more experience, and the butterflies go away."
And then there's Wheeler, who came to Kansas from Omaha, Neb., with the dreams of pitching, but has found his niche as designated hitter. He went 3-for-4 against Rockhurst on March 21, smacking his first homer of the young season.
"You go from being the best in high school to going to middle of the row in college," he said. "It took me a while to get used to playing with the guys, but we clicked."
The other freshmen — Jim Caine, Scott Burrage, Ted Seibetter, Justin Siefken, Nick Seibert and Clay Wheeler — may get a chance to prove their worth later.
"We have it in our power to achieve any goals we set," he said. "We're not going to cheat ourselves."

"They all may play a lot, but we'll have to see what the season holds in store." Randall said.
GAME CANCELLATION
Yesterday's Kansas baseball game against Westminster was canceled because of inclement weather.
No plans have been made to reschedule the game now, but the team may use a scheduled rain date later in the season.
Up next for the 'Hawks, 17-13, will be Texas A&M tomorrow at Hoglund Ballpark. Junior Pete Smart is scheduled to start for the Jayhawks at 7 p.m.
Stevenson led all scorers with 25 points as he hit 12-of-19 shots in just 25 minutes. He won the slam-dunk contest Monday night.
BOSTON — Kansas recruit DeShawn Stevenson strutted his stuff and led the West to victory in yesterday's McDonald's All America High School game at Boston's FleetCenter.
The West outscored the East 146-120 as Randolph won the game's MVP award with 23 points and 15 rebounds and Taylor, a point guard, had 14 points, six rebounds and three assists.
Michigan State's top recruits, Zach Randolph and Marcus Taylor, also starred in the West's run-and-gun victory.
Their next stop: Indianapolis, to watch the Spartans play Wisconsin in the NCAA semifinals Saturday.
It was a record-shattering night at the FleetCenter featuring 24 of the top high school seniors in the country chosen by a seven-member selection committee and an advisory panel of scouts and media members.
The 146 points broke last year's mark set by the West in a 141-128 victory. And the crowd of 18,624 far surpassed the biggest previous crowd of 15,527 set in 1962 at the Rosemont Horizon outside Chicago. The

There were 254 shots in the four-quarter, 48-minute game. The West went 67-for-137 from the field, the East 49-for-117. The West also had a massive advantage on the boards, outbounding the East 84-54.
The West led 37-32 after one quarter and 74-63 at the half. It scored the first 10 points of the fourth quarter on 3-pointers by Alton Ford, who plans to attend Houston, and Taylor, a dunk by Travon Bryant — who has yet to commit to a school but who analysts say has Kansas at the top of his list — and a layup by Chris Duhon.
The West led 106-85 after three quarters, and Randolph and Taylor made sure the East wouldn't come back, scoring their team's first seven points of the fourth period for a 113-87 advantage.
the crowd missed the FleetCenter record of 20,153 set Dec. 9, 1995, in a game between Boston College and Massachusetts.
Darius Rice, a nephew of NFL wide receiver Jerry Rice, led the East with 24 points, making 9-of-18 shots in 24 minutes. The Mississippi high schooler is leaning toward Kentucky.
KANSAS BRIEFSS Kansas to play in 2000 Coaches vs. Cancer tourney

NEW YORK — Perennial powers St. John's, UCLA, Kentucky and Kansas were selected Wednesday to play in next season's Coaches vs. Cancer tournament.
The fans saw a game of sprinting players, quick shots and enough alley-oops and dunks to fill a highlight show last night.
The teams, coming off appearances in the NCAA tournament, will play Nov. 9-10 at Madison Square Garden. Opening-round match-ups will be announced later.
The 1999 event, featuring last year's national champion Connecticut, Stanford, Duke and Iowa, raised $500,000 for Coaches vs. Cancer. Stanford won last year's tournament.
Coaches vs. Cancer is a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

Kansas softball splits two with Arkansas
Kansas took an early 2-0 lead, but Arkansas quickly tied the game in the fourth inning. The Jayhawks rallied in the eighth inning to score two runs and clinch the win.
An eight-inning rally helped the Kansas softball team to split a doubleheader against Arkansas yesterday in Favetville.
Pitcher Sarah Clopton pitched eight innings, only allowing three hits and striking out six.
In the second game, the Lady Razorbacks got even with a 5-2 win. The Jayhawks will play Texas A&M at 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Jayhawk Field.

Aggieville vs Mass. Street by BriAnne Hesel
Kansas, K-State break even in culture comparison
Lawrence's Massachusetts Street versus Manhattan's Aggieville — a bitter battle of Kansas' college cultural centers. Business Diversity: KU wins
Jerry Bottenfield, executive director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., said that one of the strengths of the Massachusetts Street area was the diversity of businesses.
"We have retail establishments and a strong mix of professional offices, bars and restaurants as opposed to Aggieville, which is primarily bars and restaurants," he said.
He said that a key to the longevity and success of downtown Lawrence was keeping the retail and professional businesses in balance with restaurants and bars.
"When the businesses close their doors for the day, people are showing up for the night life." Button said.

nightlife, Bottenfield said. think that's a healthy mix."
Sarah Cretors, Lenexa senior, said she likes going out in Lawrence because there are a lot of different bars to go to. Joey Podrebarac, K-State
sophomore, said there were pluses and minuses to the diversity of Lawrence.
"You can't beat dollar pitchers at the Granada, although the guy's restroom left a more lasting impression," he said. "There are fewer cowboys in Lawrence, which is good. There are also more guys who may try to pick up on me, which is not good." Bar Diversity: KSU wins
Cheryl Sieben, executive director of Aggieville Business Association, said that a lot of the diversity on Massachusetts Street could be attributed to the fact that the area is larger than Aggieville.
"We're both probably unique in our own way," Sieben said. "We both offer the same types of things. You just have more space to do a greater number of things."
Kimm Eilenberger, K-State senior, said Aggieville had a good mix of bars that were known for either live music sports or dancing.
Mark Toepfer, K-State senior, said he goes to a lot of different bars: 12th Street for the Greek scene and occasional live music; Joe's for a mixed crowd; Lucky's to bust a move; and Scoreboards to play
pool and get cheap eats
"On Wednesdays and Thursdays there are dollar drinks, dollar burgers and pool." Toepfer said. "I run the table. I'm known as the pool shark there."
He said the weekend starts on Wednesday night for most K-State students and gets bigger on Friday and Saturday nights.

To break up the monotony in Manhattan, Toepfer said that he and three friends had started the Mullet Club after a hair-style popular in the '80s. He said that they had shaped wigs into the short-in-front, long-in-back hairstyle.
"People love it," Toepfer said. "We're just out there to educate the people." Toepfer said there were only four people who were officially in the club, but they were constantly recruiting. They are looking to get a sponsorship from NASCAR or the World Wrestling Federation whose members have similar haircuts
Access and Barhoppability: KSU wins Fermin Santos, Shawnee senior, said he thought that bars at K-State were better.
"We have friends there, and you can walk back home so you don't really need a designated driver," Santos said.
Cretors said she didn't go to Lawrence's downtown area much anymore because she lived farther away from the area than she used to.
Toepefer said that the best thing about Aggieville was that all of the bars were in one area.
"No matter what kind of bar you want to go, it's all in one area," Toepfer said. "KU is kind of similar down on Mass., but it seems farther away from campus."
Eilenberger liked the downtown stores and Lawrence's diverse population. However, it was harder to bar hop and not as safe as in Aggieville, she said.
"Whether it be Chance, Lucky's, Tula's or anywhere, no one stays in one spot." Podrebarac said. "Part of the fun is walking from one to another." Shopping: KU wins
Shopping: KU wins In Aggieville's four-block district, there are about 100 businesses, including tanning salons and a movie theater. National

chains such as Dillard's or JC Penney are located at the local mall.
Lawrence's five-block downtown area features 130 businesses, including national chains such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap and Borders.
"Downtown Lawrence offers a lot more in the way of shopping," Eilenberger said. "That's what I like best about the downtown."
Podrebarac said he preferred shopping in Lawrence, but after sundown, he would rather be in Aggieville because it was more down-to-earth. Friendliness: KSU wins
Toepfer said he hadn't been to Lawrence for a while but liked to visit once or twice a semester for a change of scenery.
"Personally, I think the people at K-State are more friendly and more accepting of strangers," Toepfer said. "When I go out there, it seems to be a major Johnson County scene. Here, it's more diverse."
Under 21 scene: KU wins
Aggieville has two 18-and-older bars, while the Massachusetts Street area has at least three times that amount. Podrebarac also said he didn't have a favorite bar in Aggieville, but he preferred the 21-and-older crowd and the sports-bar atmosphere. Duncan Murphy, K-State sophomore, said that Aggieville would be great if there were more places to go.
"There's nothing really other than the bars," Murphy said. "It would be great if there were places for underaged people to go." Final score: It's a tie.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday:
This year managing money wisely makes you more secure. Turn down a friend's request for funds in April. A group can provide what needed in May. The profit inflow is clogged from May to June. Friends reaffirm your leadership and bolster your confidence around August. A secret message could lead to a canceled trip around November. A pleasant surprise from a friend brightens December. Stick to your budget in February, and get your team to do the same.
Aries: Today is a 6.
You and your team should get together. Figure out how to solve the next problem. You shouldn't have to pay for everything yourself. If there's not enough money or answers to go around, don't worry. Gather information for a while instead.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Somebody has good ideas about what you should do next. This person may not be right, even though he or she may outrank you. Don't let anybody push you around. Stick up for your position. Don't do something you know won't work.
Gemini: Today is a 5.
You may have things figured out, but new data throws you off balance. The real truth will stay the same, but your perspective is changing. So forget what you thought you knew, for a while, so you can learn even more.
Cancer: Today is a 6.
You're ready to go, but you don't have enough money to do what you want. You could tap an older person for a loan or a donation, but that could take a while. Instead of getting frustrated, brainstorm with your group for more ideas.
You should do well working with a partner in a career-related matter. You may not get all the way, but don't give up. A breakthrough could come soon if you and this other person keep pushing. Don't ever take no for an answer.
Leo: Today is a 6.
Scorpio; Today is a 6.
Saqittarius: Today is a 5.
Virgo: Today is a 6.
You'll probably have to work and won't be able to travel. If you can set things up that way, you'll be more successful. Actually, if you can postpone traveling for a few days, do it. Take care of a problem that's in front of you instead.
Libra: Today is a 6.
2
You may feel like going into your savings account to buy a gift for somebody you love. If it's a toy, the person can do without it. Even if it's something this person really needs, you should wait. You may find a better deal soon.
Capricorn: Today is a 6.
男女分离区
You're not doing what you'd like to be doing, but that's OK. You should be in a good mood. You're mastering new skills, and that will make a difference. Don't fret if you make mistakes.
You and your partner should talk things over. You don't have enough information to reach a good decision yet. Something that neither of you knows about could be out there. Gather more data before you decide. Better safe than sorry.
CARRIER
Aquarius: Today is a 6.
You may not come up with the answer you're seeking, but don't feel foolish. Sometimes the best thing is to delegate the chore to somebody with different skills. Reading will be relaxing and also could help you achieve the results you're after.
Pisces: Today is a 6.
LION
If you're facing a big household expense, don't fret. If you continue with your studies, you'll be able to afford it soon. Besides, you could do some of the work and save your cash. You may have talents that haven't been tapped yet.
B
You may feel unsure of yourself. Instead of pushing, possibly in the wrong direction, move slowly. Watch and listen. Don't make a big deal of little mistakes, and don't try to move too quickly. Calm down and take your time. Better than never.

Jayplay's coverage means it's party time
Lawrence revolves around students. They frequent the bars, the theaters, the restaurants, the dance clubs. They are the core of the Lawrence community — if not by activity, then by sheer numbers.
But trying to decide what to do can be a challenge. Aside from posters on bulletin boards and chalk messages on sidewalks, it's extremely difficult to keep up with what's going on in Lawrence.
Come on. Posters and chalk are so primitive.

With Jayplay, you'll have a comprehensive schedule of where your favorite bands will be playing, what the latest production from the University Theatre will be and, generally, events that give you an excuse to get off the couch and enjoy the town we call home.

Overmier hit all three jackpots at Bully's Sports Bar & Grill just south of Reno, where he was back gambling March 26. He had landed two on the same machine.
State gambling regulators said they couldn't recall anyone hitting three jackpots of at least $50,000 in such a short period of time.
Overmier said he played a total of $2,500 to win the three jackpots. He had to plunk down $50 at a time to have a chance for the big jackpot.

LOS ANGELES — The American Lung Association has coughed up its annual honors for the best and worst of on-screen smoking.
Insider, during the fifth annual Hackademy Awards March 23.
Both Mann and Roth quit smoking during the making of the film about tobacco industry whistle-blower Jeffrey Wigand, which also won the association's Thumbs Up! best movie award.
The Hackademy Award Thumps Up! and Thumbs Down! recipients were selected by 50 Sacramento and Los Angeles high school students who reviewed 1999's top 50 box office performers.
The Thumbs Down! dishonor went to the coming-of-age flick "She's All That" for its depiction of teenage smoking.
Transvestite robbery thwarted with Pepsi
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Two cross-dressing robbers got away with only a purse after a bank employee scared them by hitting one with a 12-pack of Pepsi.
The 44-year-old employee was entering a SunTrust bank March 23 before it opened when the men, wearing dresses and wigs, ran at her from some nearby bushes, she said.
So the 5-foot-1-inch woman smacked one of the suspects — who stood about 6-foot-4 — with the pack of soda cans, causing him to stumble. The second robber pushed her to the ground.
Another employee opened the door and tried to pull her to safety, but the second robber pointed a gun and entered the bank. He and his partner fled with the woman's purse, but not any of the bank's money.
Police must destroy confiscated porn tapes
LAKE CITY, Fla. — Sheriff's deputies here no longer have to watch thousands of hours of porn.
Officials had anticipated having to spend weeks viewing all 1,304 videotapes confiscated from the Adult Movie Video to determine if they were legally obscene.
Instead, according to an agreement between prosecutors and store owner James D. Cox, the tapes would be destroyed in exchange for Cox not being charged.

Columbia County sheriff deputies seized the tapes Feb. 25
after a citizen complaint.
Cox said Tuesday the
taples were nothing
more than cable-ver
movies.
"I still don't think I did anything wrong," Cox said.
Cox said he agreed to the
settlement because he is 68, works full time and cannot afford a long legal battle. He added that he was concerned about the possibility of jail time if he was convicted.
Walking in llama dung smelled like a victory
- MONTPELIER, Vt. — For Kyle Martin, it was the ilama dung that clinched it.
The 8-year-old from Montpelier won the annual rotten sneaker contest March 21, out-smelling finalists from New York, New Mexico and 30 contests from Vermont.
"I went to a lot of farms," he said, explaining how his sneakers got to be so foul. "My grandmother lives on a illiam farm."
The 25th annual contest sponsored by Oor-Eaters has become a March tradition at the Montpelier City Hall, drawing kids from far away as Italy.
For the prized shoes, Martin won a $750 savings bond, a trip to New York City and a supply of Odor-Eaters.
Sleepy judge dozes off in middle of testimony
LINCOLN, Neb. — A judge has found himself guilty of sleeping during court proceedings and has declared a mistrial.
"I'm so sorry about it and embarrassed about it," Lancaster County District Court Judge Donald Endacott said March 21.
Endacott, 66, said he had been having stomach problems and was not sleeping well during the time period of the trial, a theft case against Barbara A. Selwyn.
Endacott may need to get more rest — he is scheduled to hear the retrial.

JazzTrain chugs onstage at Lied Center next week
By Sindy Greenfield
joyplay@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Culture literally has taken center stage at the Lied Center since the Millennium Project began last fall.
At 8 p.m, April 7 and 8, the center will begin winding up this semester's African American-themed events with JazzTrain.
JazzTrain is a traveling dance program choreographed by Donald Byrd and performed in more than 40 cities. The three-part production follows the development of jazz music.
next weekend composer/drummer Max Roach, former Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid and composer/pianist Geri Allen will perform the JazzTrain music live as part of the performance for only the fourth time. Their compositions were created specifically for JazzTrain.
This is the third year Byrd and his dance company, The Group.
have come to Lawrence. In 1997 the company performed The Beast, a show about domestic violence. But Byrd said his goal is not to tell a story or deal with cliched tragedies.
"What I do in the dances that I make and the choreography I do is to find away to pull people in to it," Byrd said. "They either respond to it, or they don't respond to it."
Byrd has been a choreographer for more than 21 years and has produced more than 80 works. The Donald Byrd Dance Foundation in Brooklyn, N.Y., employs 12 dancers who will be interacting with the University of Kansas Dance Company.
"The activity of dancing is powerful," Byrd said. "It doesn't have to be dancing about something, but it is just that the human body moving in time and space is a really powerful thing."
Jennifer Shoreman, Leawood Junior, said she felt lucky to have been chosen to perform.
Twelve of the KU Dance Company's 25 members will perform a ballet choreographed by
Brian Brooks, member of The Group. May 4 and 5.
"They're muscular, welltrained and have great technique," she said. "And they want to be involved in the community."
Last semester, the Lied Center kicked off the Millennium Project with a series of Latino acts. The project will center on Asian acts this fall. The goal of the project is to focus on different regions each semester to raise awareness about various cultures.
Tickets for JazzTrain are $19 and $10 for KU and Haskell Indian Nations University students and children ages 0-18; $38 and $20 for the public; and $77 and $19 for senior citizens. Tickets are available at the Lied Center, Murphy Hall and SUA box offices, the University of Kansas Medical Center bookstore and at any Ticketmaster outlet.
Former student in TV spotlight
KU grad lands star role in new ABC comedy

Kansan staff writer
Not many people who pack up and move to Los Angeles to act ever make a living out of it. Thomas Newton, a 1996 KU graduate in theater and film, is becoming an exception.
Then Came You, the situational comedy in which Newton co-stars, aired its second episode at 7:30 last night on ABC. The sitcom debuted last week and will continue for at least 11 more episodes.
Newton said he moved to Los Angeles more than three years ago and worked as a bartender when he got picked up for the pilot by ABC last year. He said that since then, he'd finally been able to earn a living as an actor.
The show is about a 33-year-old divorced book editor, Susan Flovd, and her relationship with Newton's character, Aiden, who is 10 years younger than she.
Corey Koester, 1997 graduate, said he was a family friend of the Newtons and had watched the debut.
"It was goofy-funny," Koester said. "I enjoyed seeing him more than anything. It's always fun to see someone you know on television."
Newton, who has performed on stage for most of his life, said he enjoyed the change from theater to television.
"There is a whole new set of rules," Newton said. "I learn 50 new things a day. It's not like the theater. You don't have three weeks to rehearse it."
Newton said the cast and crew rehearsed one week for each episode. He said they got the scripts on Wednesdays and rehearsed Thursdays and Fridays. Writers rework the script constantly and shoot the episode on Tuesday.
"You can't really memorize the script until on Monday, because 10 to 12 pages could be different," Newton said.
Newton's father, Barry Newton, professor of architecture and urban design, said that he had seen the pilot and that the family went to California in August to watch the shooting of the second episode.

"I thought it was fine," Barry Newton said. "I did explain to him
that I was glad that it was not up against something else I watch."
Barry Newton said that his son had done a small television stint in England when he was 5 or 6 years old. He said that they had always encouraged Thomas Newton to pursue his dreams.
"I think people should do what they want to do." Barry Newton said. "We've always encouraged our children to be adventurous."
Thomas Newton said he originally moved to San Diego, Calif., looking for something to occupy his time. He worked as a carpenter at the Old Globe Theater for eight months before deciding that he missed acting.
"It it was something I went to college to do," Newton said. "You have to pursue it the best you can before you give it up, or you'll always wonder, 'What if?' "
Newton said he had started acting by appearing in five or six commercials, then moved on to guest-starring roles in the TV shows V.I.P., U.S.A. High, The Visitor and Sweet Valley High.
In February, he finished shooting a low-budget suspend/thriller, *Lying in Wait*. The plot follows his character's mental deterioration into a serial killer. Newton co-stars with Rutger Hauer and Virginia Madsen.
John Gronbeck-Tedesco, professor of theater and film, taught Newton in his directing class. He said Newton had been a meticulous student.
He said that ideas for the film were still up in the air but that it would probably be released at a festival.
"Nobody plans to be a movie star," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. "At the time, he was planning on going to the West Coat and becoming the best actor he could be and work in the profession."

Final Destination empty horror film
By Chris Borniger

japlay@kansan.com
japlay editor
Welcome aboard Teen Beat Airlines. Our *Final Destination* today will be Weird, with temporary lavavers in Gory and Trite.
It takes a lot of chutzpach to borrow the names of horror's hallowed. But the familiar Hitchcock, in addition to the more obscure surnames of horror legends Val Luten (Walk of the Zombie, Cat People) and Todd Browning (Dracula, Freaks), make appearances in a movie that's less of a suspense or thriller and more of a small-scale slaughter. With that sort of setup, it's almost impossible for Final Destination to deliver. But it still tries.
Enter Alex Browning (Devon Sawa), on his way to France with 40 classmates. Shortly before takeoff, Alex has a disturbing vision of the plane exploding into flames. Screaming at everyone about the flight's imminent doom, Alex gets sucker-punched by Carter (Kerr Smith of *Dausson's Creek*.
In the resulting melee, Alex, his friend Todd (Chad Donella), Carter, his girlfriend Terry (Amanda Detmer) and teacher Valerie Lewton (Kristen Cloke) quickly are escorted from the plane. Classmate Clear (Ali Larter) leaves of her own volition, sensing that Alex just might be right (that must be why her name is pronounced "clair." as in "voyant"). And hapless dork Billy Hitchcock (Seann William Scott) is left in the terminal, having locked himself in a bathroom stall.
Just as tempers are cooling in the terminal, Alex's premonition proves true, and the plane's remaining 280 occupants die in a massive explosion over the Atlantic Ocean. That's when the FBI decides to look a little deeper into Alex's strange psychic ability. Meanwhile, his peers begin avoiding him like the plague. And before long, Alex realizes that he and the

six other survivors may have escaped death once, but that they are still on the Grim Reaper's Most Wanted List.
Perhaps with slightly more mature actors. *Final Destination* wouldn't be so unbalanced. Unfortunately, the film comes off somewhat as an excuse to kill off Seventeen cover boys and girls in innovative ways.
Characters are one-dimensional. Sawa pulls off the illusion of rabid fear, but he's rarely anything else. Larter's character is thrown in only for sex appeal and potential love interest for Alex. And as for Carter, well, you just wish he had staved on the plane.
Another low point is the dialogue. The thick, gravelly voice of Tony Todd (remember *Candyman*) wasted in a corry — but thankfully
brief soliloquy in a ridiculous scene at the morgue. Moreover, innuendo-filled lines intended to foreshadow fall flat when they are so bluntly beaten into the plot.
But aside from the numerous flaws, *Final Destination* is masterfully stocked with ear and eye candy. The effects literally will make you jump, and often cringe.
Sadly, the bright spots are too sparse to elevate Final Destination to a status worthy of the names it invokes — Hitchcock cet al. Devoid of any real terror, it's another one in the long line of plot-hollow horror movies. Nonetheless, it's still quite a bearable flick.
Romeo, Romeo... you must die!
Martial arts flick has little to do with love
By Brian Bartelt
joyplay@kanson.com
Kanson movie critic
Romeo Must Die incorporates the martial arts talent of Jet Li, who plays Han Sing. Contributed photo
If you had a Rembrandt painting, would you cut it up and make a collage? Would you have it digitally touched up? If you've got one of the best martial artists in the world in your movie, would you cut up his fight scenes into tiny shots? Would you digitally enhance his moves so they look completely fake?
Most people wouldn't, but in Romeo Must Die, rookie director Andrzej Bartokwal thought it'd be a good idea.
Romeo Must Die is based very loosely on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." There are two rival families: a Chinese mafia family led by Kai Sing (Russel Wong) and an African-American gang led by Mac O'Day (Isaiah Washington). Both fight for control of waterfront property, but have reached a strained peace to cooperate on a business deal with a would-be NFL team owner. However, when Kai Sing's son is murdered, tension rises and the backstabbing begins.
Meanwhile, Kai's other son, Han Sing (Jet Li), is locked away in a Chinese prison. When he learns of his brother's demise, he escapes, flees to the U.S. and begins to hunt down the murderer. In the process, he meets Trish (Aaliyah), the daughter of Mac O'Day, and they hook up. That's the extent of the Romeo and Juliet connection — you won't find any star-crossed lovers in this film.
Not that it's bad. The story is actually fairly tight - a little too busy and a little too shallow, but for an action flick, it's more than one would expect. The dialogue is appropriately effective, funny at times and never too melodramatic. The writing never really extends

St.
beyond average, but it fits the bill and is presented well by the cast.
Considering that its main players are a martial artist and a pop star, the cast does a surprisingly good job. Jet Li is intense and powerful in his fights and friendly and convincing in his dialogue. Pop star Aaliyah makes her screen debut, and makes casual work of it. Isaiah Washington plays the duality of caring father and gangster with skill, and Anthony Anderson as Maurice is slightly forced at times, but extremely funny. All in all, the writing and cast fit well together and exceed the standards of action films.
However, this is a martial arts film, and the fight scenes are key. Unfortunately, the filmmakers didn't put them together very well.
While the action is superbly choreographed and performed, it's chopped into so many different camera angles and shots that you can't really appreciate Li's skill. To further destroy the illusion of reality, several digitally modified shots are thrown in that make Jet fly through the air and kick everyone in a way that physics simply wouldn't allow.
But Bartokwalk did include some interesting x-ray shots of bones breaking that are very reminiscent of the bullet penetration shots in the movie *Three Kings*. However, where the shots in *Three Kings* served to illustrate and shock, the clips in *Rome Must Die* are so caught up in being hardcore that they only serve to confuse the action.
These visual choices were probably made to make the film competitive in a market that offers films like The Matrix, but they unfortunately sacrifice some of the best features of the martial arts subgenre. While the film is still entertaining and enjoyable to watch, the filmmakers don't meet their goal of producing something above average.

Versatile band to play at Bottleneck
Cassie Holman
jayplay@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
In the midst of a national tour, the trio Yo La Teango will be stopping in Lawrence Saturday to play at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. The band is promoting their tenth album, And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out.
This is their first album since the 1997 release, I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, which Spin magazine named one of the 90 Greatest Albums of the '90s. The album was released by Matador Records.
Mark McMaster, Wichita senior, said that Yo La Tengo is one of his favorite bands. He has the new album and many of the older ones. McMaster said the new release has a lot of downbeat, atmospheric songs — more than previous albums.
"They've never released any second-rate material," he said. "Vo La Tengo has stayed relatively obscure but has won favor from critics and a small fan base by putting out sincere, intelligent, but simple songs. It's nothing too cutting-edge, but on the last album, they seem to show more influence from downtown jazz and electronica."
McMaster said that he had never seen the band perform live, but that

Most recent release: And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out When: 8 p.m. Saturday

he had tickets for The Bottleneck's show.
Grant Monroe, Overland Park sophomore, said he first heard of Yo La Tengo when a friend gave him one of the band's CDs. Though Monroe does not have the latest album, he has two earlier ones, *Fakebook* and *Genius* + *Love* = *Yo La Tengo*. He said each album had a different sound.
"Fakebook is older and is mostly folk music," Monroe said. "Genius is more of a snack rock."
He said he had not heard that Yo La Tengo was playing in Lawrence but that he was now considering going to the show.
"They're funny," Monroe said.
"They're good musicians who know how to have a good time," he said.
The trio is originally from Hoboken, N.J., and released their first album in 1986. The band consists of Georgia Hubley and Ira Kaplan, who have been married for more than a decade, and bassist James McNew.
The band was featured in a March 2000 issue of Rolling Stone which gave And Then Nothing four stars. Reviewer Rob Sheffield wrote "Kaplan and Hubley sing their most confessional, intimate lyrics ever, over whispery guitars, brushed percussion, vibes and organ drones. It's a spell of blissful, psychedelic make-out music."
Justin Montag, program director for KJHK, said he was still waiting to hear back from the record label to see if the band would do an interview with KJHK before the show, but said he would be surprised if it didn't work out.
Montag said he has never seen the band perform live but that he is looking forward to the Lawrence show.
"The band that's opening for them, Quickspace, is excellent as well." Montag said. "We just got their new CD into the station last week and it's really good."
Montag said that the new album is the band's best release yet.
"The album is flawless and composed of beautiful love songs that stick in your head after hearing them," he said.
Tickets for the show are $10. The show begins at 8 p.m. Saturday at The Bottleneck, 737 1/2 Massachusetts St.

Stomping Ground
Goldfinger
Buy it
Goldfinger's first studio album in three years features harsh lyrics and driving rhythms that capture punk in all its glory. While at times this latest album seems strained, Goldfinger's constant touring has helped the band remain tight musically. That's good, because it's the high level of energy that saves Stomping Ground.
"The End of the Day" answers critics that hate punk rock. A good song, but the angst-ridden rebel thing has been done to death. Tackling other popular topics with perhaps the catchiest song on the album, "Counting The Days" is a venue rock anthem on par with Ben Folds Five's "Song For The Dumped." A real crowd pleaser for sure.
Continuing the activist theme, "You Think it's a Joke" is a song about people that see intolerance and seek comfort in material possessions. A harsh eye-opener from a band that actively supports PETA and other anti-hate organizations. A cover of the '80s hit "99 Red Balloons" ends the album, and it's been Goldfingerized and reworked to perfection.
While there are plenty of good songs on "Stomping Ground," Goldfinger does have a few problems. "Get Away" seems to be just a reworked version of an older Goldfinger song, while other tracks like
"Forgiveness" almost bores the listener. Stomping Ground can stand on its own as an awesome album.

Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise Time To Discover
Buy it
It's been half a century since Robert Bradley was born without sight in Alabama, but the second album from Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise is evidence that he has seen much in those 50 years. Time To Discover is a blues-rock masterpiece, anointed with the grace of Bradley's ritty, sweet voice.
"Higher" introduces the album with funk guitars and the vocals of Kid Rock, whose presence is less than stellar. Unfortunately, he appears again on "Tramp," showing off his producing talent, which results in nothing more than a cheesy destruction of an otherwise solid song. Other than that, the Surprise is tight, showing that the members' musical mindsets are similar.
Steady rhythm and blues organ tied to Bradley's emotional Alabama drawl create a sound that makes you move and understand something you might not have before. The element that sparks this reflection is Bradley's retrospection on life and love. As Bradley's falsetto work on "Mr. Tony" resounds with the influence Motown has on
his music, we are reminded that he is building upon an entire century of blues and soul. Time To Discover allows us to look back along with Bradley, an artist who lost his sight but never his musical vision.

Kristie Stremel
The Detour EP
Buy it
Buy it
Former Exit 159 lead singer/songwriter Kristie Stremel has released her first collection of songs since the Kansas City, Mo. band broke up last year, and this six song EP is worth tracking down. Featuring five new songs and one new version of an old Exit tune, The Detour EP not only has a clever name, it delivers a welcome break from the rap invasion taking the local scene by storm.
Songs like "Easiest Thing" and "White Trash Ballad" are stories of frustration that are delivered with such raw emotion the listener almost imagines these tales being acted out in front of them. Stremel's song-writing talents are highlighted by a remake of "What Gives," taking what used to be a harder rock song and turning it into more of a folkish ballad that outshines it's predecessor. "Claire's Song" is a heartfelt song of friendship and maybe a little more; it's simple and poppy, but good.
New songs by a talented songwriter makes
The Detour EP something any fan of the local scene should track down.

Catatonia
Equally Cursed and Blessed
Burn it
Catatonia hit it big with the United Kingdom's pop lovers with previous albums, but can they win over the Yankees?
The five Welsh pop stars' third album, Equally Cursed and Blessed, contains the energy Catatonia seems to be known for. Cerys Matthews' Cardigan-esque wispy voice inhabits every track, standing as a unique selling point for the band. However, the fun, Brit-pop sound of this quintet is not as captivating as one would hope, considering they have all the right ingredients.
Matthews is a dynamic front woman, and the other four Catonianians sway from sweet to bitter riffles to support her. Such seems to be the formula of pop; almost too accessible to be interesting. On "Karaoke Queen," discoladen beats accompany Matthews as she sings, "It's just a three-minute song / It doesn't last very long / But it'll take you to a place I know you'd rather be," a proclamation of pof faith, shattered images — short attention spans and all.

Manufacturer has recalled some inhalers
By Mindie Miller
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Officials at Watkins Memorial Health Center are warning University of Kansas students that a manufacturer has recalled a commonly used asthma medication.
The recall is restricted to inhalers with designated lot numbers that were manufactured before Sept. 30, 1999, and have not yet been opened. Lot numbers and expiration dates appear on either the top or bottom flaps of product packages and on the canister label. The affected inhalers all have expiration dates of September 2001 or earlier.
Proventil albuterol inhalers, refills and several generic-brand inhalers are being recalled by Schering Laboratories because they may not contain an active drug.
Inhalers that already have been opened and are being used by asthma patients with good results, regardless of when they were manufactured, are not included in the recall.
Randall Rock, chief of staff, sai Watkins' pharmacy had dispensed the medication to students and would attempt to contact those students by telephone.
"Luckily, it is not the most commonly dispensed brand from Watkins, but there are those who are on this medication," he said.
He said Watkins was unsure how many inhalers it had prescribed
An inhaler that does not contain an active drug can cause serious problems for those who suffer from asthma, Rock said.
Tom Nienke. Mulvane senior, suffers from asthma but does not use the brand of inhaler affected by the recall. He said he used his inhaler at least once a day.
"I know if I've had to go without it, or if I run out, my chest will start hurting, and I'll get back pains," he

the recall was simply a precaution.
Robert J. Consalvo, director of external communications for Schering-Plough Corporation, said
"We had a manufacturing problem in the fall of last year that allowed the possibility that some canisters may not contain medication," he said. "We've corrected that problem and already recalled the product produced during that period."
He said there was only a
He said there was only a remote chance that medication produced before that period would cause problems. He said there had not been any adverse events reported in connection with the products subject to the recall.
Rock said students who used the medication should contact Watkins pharmacy by telephone or bring the medication into the pharmacy. He said the pharmacy would replace the medication at no cost.
Going nuts for squirrels
Campus critters often show no fear of humans but wildlife expert cautions that contact could be harmful

When Robert Novak, Topeka junior, tried to feed a campus squirrel a few weeks ago, he was surprised at how close he could get to the little rodent. The squirrel didn't run away and even appeared to expect Novak's snack.
"It showed no fear of me," he said. "They don't care about people at all."
But while squirrels on the University of Kansas campus may act used to people, it is important for students and faculty members to remember that a squirrel is a wild animal, a local wildlife expert said.
Diane Johnson, director of Operation Wildlife, a Linwood-based nonprofit organization that cares for injured wild animals, said that it might be tempting for people to feed or try to touch the squirrels on campus. However, this can lead to big problems for people — and for squirrels.
Jonsson said squirrels that regularly got food from people became lazy about searching for food on their own. They become dependent on their human meal tickets, she said.
Despite this, it is not uncommon for people on campus to feed squirrels or treat them as pets.
Andrew Neumayr, Parkston, S.D., english morover, said he had an English graduate teaching assistant who adopted a squirrel outside Wescoe Hall.
"We'd be doing something, and he would look out the window and start rambling about squirrels," he said.
Johnson said many foods people fed to squirrels, including peanuts, could cause problems for the animals.
"Peanuts are junk food for squirrels," Johnson said. "It's
"Squirrels have bottom teeth about one inch long. They can inflict a healthy puncture wound."

equivalent to you being fed candy bars all day. Wet peanuts can contain a toxin that will kill the squirrel."
The animals can be dangerous to people, as well.
Johnson said that squirrels were not aggressive animals but that they were highly territorial and might bite if cornered — and some of them carry diseases. Though there have been no reported cases of rabid squirrels in Kansas since the 1920s, there have been cases in southwest Kansas of squirrels' fleas carrying the bubonic plague, Johnson said.
While these diseases are not common, squirrel bites still can be nasty.
"Squirrels have bottom teeth about one inch long." Johnson said. "They can inflict a healthy puncture wound."
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that his staff had treated squirrel bites but that such cases were not common.
"There is not a squirrel-biting epidemic that I know of," Rock said.
Nonetheless Johnson said, people are more dangerous to squirrels than squirrels are to people. She said that squirrels only bothered people because people messed with them or tried to give them food.
"Yeah, they're cute," Johnson said, "but nature should be enjoyed from a distance."
Lilac Lane parking proposal defeated by University Council
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University Council yesterday rejected a controversial proposal to convert 15 blue spaces on Lilac Lane to parking spaces for residents of Miller and Watkins scholarship halls by a vote of 17 to 15.
The rejection of the Lilac Lane proposal came after the University Senate Executive Committee forwarded the proposal to Council without a recommendation to approve. Shortly after, 11 faculty members who work in buildings near Lilac Lane sent a letter addressed to SenEx, Council and the parking board objecting to the proposal.
Several Council members expressed their lack of support for the idea. Alice Lieberman, associate professor of social welfare, said eliminating faculty parking on Lilac Lane would interfere with the ability of faculty and staff to do their jobs.
"We frequently have to leave and come back to our buildings," Lieberman said. "It's part of our job. If we can't find a parking space on Lilac Lane, we will be late for teaching our classes."
The students said that with the current parking situation on Alumni Place, where residents

Nicole Skalla, Watkins Hall resident and member of the parking board, said that the decision to reject the proposal also neglected the issue of safety.

Pet owners. start scooping.
The KU Public Safety Office is stepping up its campus enforcement of city ordinances pertaining to animals — including the rule requiring pet owners to remove any excrement deposited by their animals on public or someone else's private property.
something else to do. It also is unlawful for people to permit their animals to run at large. A Lawrence ordinance says an animal at large is one that is not under the physical control of its keeper, such as by a leash or electronic collar.
And unless they are lab animals or trained dogs that guide owners with disabilities, pets are not allowed in campus buildings, according to University of Kansas policy.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said the Public Safety Office's goal was to educate pet owners that city ordinances pertaining to animals applied to campus property as well.
"It's kind of an educational campaign."
Mailen said. "We're getting the word out."
Mailen said officers would be patrolling areas on campus where pet owners frequented to distribute information and give warnings to people who are not in compliance with the regulations.
"If they fail to comply at that point in time, then further steps or measures will be taken." Maillen said.
The ordinances are not new, but they were revamped last year, Mailen said.
Violating one of the ordinances could net someone a citation through municipal court or the impoundment of their pet. Fines for animal at-large violations range from $30 for a first offense to $100 for the fourth offense in a 12-month period, in addition to court costs. The fine for removal of excrement violations is $10 per pile.
The ordinance also prohibits the common practice of tying a dog to a tree or bike stand
Under the old ordinance, dogs that responded to verbal commands didn't have to be on a leash. However, the new ordinance states that the dogs must be under physical control at all times, so playing fetch on campus now is prohibited.
while the owner is inside a campus building.
"If you're not going to be able to with that dog at all times, you shouldn't bring him," said Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations.
Cohen said that enforcing the ordinance probably would upset many students but that it had to be done.
Mailen said there had been ongoing concern about pets on campus. He said there were 15 animal complaints filed and seven citations issued for animals at large in 1999. So far this year, there have been six complaints and two citations.
There also have been at least two reports of doe bites on campus this semester.
Pat Pisani, executive director of Hilltop Child Development Center, said she was in favor of the increased enforcement of animal policies on campus. Pisani said that children from the center, ranging from infants to grade school age, often played outside and that the abundance of dog feces was a problem.
"Every grassy area on campus is filled with dog manure," she said.

Mailen said officers would be patrolling areas on campus where pet owners frequented to distribute information and give warnings to people who are not in compliance with the regulations.
Mailen said. "We're getting the word out."
"If they fail to comply at that point in time, then further steps or measures will be taken." Mailen said.
Violating one of the ordinations could net someone a citation through municipal court or the impoundment of their pet. Fines for animal-at-large violations range from $30 for a first offense to $100 for the fourth offense in a 12-month period, in addition to court costs. The fine for removal of excrement violations is $10 per pile.
The ordinances are not new, but they were revamped last year, Mailen said.
Under the old ordinance, dogs that responded to verbal commands didn't have to be on a leash. However, the new ordinance states that the dogs must be under physical control at all times, so playing fetch on campus now is prohibited.
The ordinance also prohibits the common practice of tying a dog to a tree or bike stand
while the owner is inside a campus building.
"If you're not going to be able to be with that dog at all times, you shouldn't bring him," said Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations.
Cohen said that enforcing the ordinance probably would upset many students but that it had to be done.
Mailen said there had been ongoing concern about pets on campus. He said there were 15 animal complaints filed and seven citations issued for animals at large in 1999. So far this year, there have been six complaints and two citations.
There also have been at least two reports of dog bites on campus this semester.
Pat Pisani, executive director of Hilltop Child Development Center, said she was in favor of the increased enforcement of animal policies on campus. Pisani said that children from the center, ranging from infants to grade school age, often played outside and that the abundance of dog feces was a problem.
"Every grassy area on campus is filled with dog manure," she said.

Twister tournament to combat child abuse
Manny Lopez, coordinator for student recruitment and retention for the School of Journalism, said the school was playing host to the reception because it helped pay for Smiley to come to the University of Kansas.
Lopez said the reception was going to be very casual and would allow Smiley time to mingle with students. Smiley will not deliver a speech at the reception.
The reception is from 6 to 7:15 p.m. at the English Room in the Kansas Union.
The women of Kappa Delta sorority invite everyone to twist and bend to help prevent child abuse in Lawrence and nationwide.
Kappa Delta will hold the "Twister Tournament" at 1 p.m. tomorrow on the Allen Fieldhouse lawn.
Ryan Blethen
Eighty percent of the event's proceeds will be donated to the Lawrence Women's Transitional Care Services. The remaining 20 percent will go to Prevent Child Abuse America, the sorority's national philanthropy, for nationwide programs. Kappa Delta already has collected about $9,500 from flat donations, and members hope to earn about $10,000 total.
Cost of the tournament is $30 for a team of two or $25 if teams sign up at a booth in front of Wescoe Hall.
The regular Twister rules apply, and the games continue until one team from the winner's bracket and one from the loser's bracket remain. Winning teams will receive prizes donated from local businesses.
"It gets pretty competitive," said Erin Brown, Dallas senior and Kappa Delta member. "It gets bigger every year."

Allotment of new garage's spaces debated
Continued from page 1A
The decision came after Barbara Romzek, professor of public administration and government, suggested an alternative to the current plan for allotment of spaces in the new Kansas Union parking garage.
Under the board's current plan, 500 of the 818 new parking spaces would be metered spaces for visitor parking, 175 of the new spaces would go to students, 126 would go to faculty and the remaining 17 would be reserved for the handicapped. The cost for a parking pass to both the Union parking garage and the other parking garage on Irving Hill Road would be $175 and would not include access to other lots on campus.
Romzek proposed that instead of the $175 fee for exclusive rights to the garages, an across-the-board fee increase be implemented to all parking
passes sold. The fee increase would allow holders of red, yellow and blue parking passes and possibly holders of residence hall passes access to the parking garage.
The proposal met some resistance by members of the parking board, who feared that the garages would become storage lots for those who have cars and live in residence halls. It also was unclear to Council members how much of an increase would need to be implemented for the plan to work. Several council members expressed support for the idea, but felt that the proposal needed additional consideration and clarification.
Romzek said the proposal would relieve the pressure of finding a parking space at all of the University's lots by increasing the number of universally available spots.

KU student is coping with effects of robbery
By Mindie Miller writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Heidi hasn't been sleeping well since Monday morning. She can't stop thinking about the man who held a knife to her chest in a Kansas City parking lot and demanded money.
"It would happen over again every time I started drifting off to sleep," said the 23-year-old University of Kansas student.
Early Monday morning, Heidi, who requested that her last name not be used, left Lawrence for her internship at a hospital in Kansas City. Mo. She stopped at Hypermart USA near Bannister Mall before work. She was walking to her vehicle about 7:40 a.m. when a man sprung up from behind a car with a knife.

knee, she said. "It was long. It wasn't touching me, but it was really close so he could have reached forward and stabbed me."
Heidi threw $50 on the ground near the man, who snatched the cash, hopped in the car with another man and sped off before she could memorize the license plate number.
"I usually don't have more than $2 cash," Heidi said. "I was glad I had the money."
Sgt. George Wheeler of the Lawrence Police Department said she did the right thing by not putting up a fight.
"What we tell people is to comply with the demands of the robber," he said. "That's for your own safety. Give them the money. The money isn't worth your being injured or worse."
But Wheeler offered a restriction to this advice.
"Don't let them take you anywhere," he said.
He said the victim should try to walk or run away but should avoid being aggressive.
Wheeler said Lawrence had seen a slight decrease in reported robberies during the past three years. From 1997 to 1998, the number dropped from 70 to 69. There were 66 in 1999.
He said it was important for robbery victims to be good witnesses.
"We tell them to try to look at the person and be able to describe them as best they can," Wheeler said. "That way, we have a better chance of catching them later."
Heidi said she did her best describing the assailant to police. But Dana Mauzy, a detective with the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department's robbery unit, said the chances were slim that the suspect would be found.
"We probably won't find him unless the same person keeps doing it over and over and we develop some type of pattern," she said.
Heidi did everything right, but she said she was guided less by rational thought than by an adrenaline rush.
Parents advise gay students on coming out
Couple speaks at group meeting
By Ryan Blethen writer@kansan.com Kanson staff writer
It is not easy for parents to hear that their son or daughter is gay, Bonnie and Rudy Cuevas told a group of 10 students last night.
But they stressed that it is something that parents need to accept.
The Cuevas spoke last night at a Queers and Allies meeting at Parlors A, B and C in the Kansas Union. The Cuevas, who are members of the Lawrence/Topeka chapter of Parents, Friends & Family of Lesbians and Gays, told the group that even though it is a shock to learn your child is gay, there are ways that students can lessen the blow. This includes providing the parents with reading materials or presenting them with the names of people for them to talk to, the couple said.
The Cuevas said Organizations like P-Flag were a great help to them. When their son first came out, they said they felt bad because he had hinted to them that he was gay, but they had not done anything to support him. To come to terms with their son's sexual orientation, they decided to learn more about homosexuality.
"Don't just tell them and leave them there," Bonnie Cuevas said.
Not all parents are as understanding as they were, the
Cuevas said. They said they knew parents who took as long as 10 years to accept that their child was gay.
When the Cuevas' son first told his mother that he was gay, she told him he couldn't be because he went to church, she said.
"You're an altar boy," she said.
They warned the group members that they needed to be careful when telling their parents. A person needs to think about things like finances, Rudy Cuevas said, because if the parents are paying for college, they could cut their child off financially.
"You can pick your friends," he said. "You can't pick your parents. You have to do what's right for you."
After talking about their experiences, Bonnie Cuevas asked the group members to talk.
Matthew Skinta, Andover junior, said that when he told his mother, she turned to his aunt, a lesbian, for help. Even though his mother supports him, he said, she still has a hard time with gays displaying affection.
Bonnie Cuevas said at first that was how she felt about her son having physical relationships with men.
Rudy Cuevas said the most important thing to do was to take charge of the situation.
"Oh my God, you're gay, but you're actually going to date boys," she said, referring to her initial shock.

Writing Center's tutoring to go online by summer
By Ryan Devlin
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
In addition to the new Writer's Roost at Watson Library, the University of Kansas Writing Center is expanding its services through an online tutoring site for the entire campus.
The KU Writing Center, a service that aids students in writing papers, will extend its services from its Writer's Roosts around campus to online in a new interactive tutoring site. The site currently is a prototype available only to Edwards campus students, although all students will be allowed access by summer
"It is the virtual version of our face-to-face consulting," said Michele Eodice, KU Writing Center director. "Right now we accept works from Edwards campus students only, since
they are likely to be students who travel to the campus only once a week and who work and attend school at nontraditional times. They can use the online service from other sites miles away from our facilities."
Eodice said students at the Edwards campus were required to meet with a writing consultant in person before submitting works of up to 12 pages for online evaluation. Usually within 48 hours, students receive feedback and suggestions for revision by one of three consultants who monitor the online service.
Eodice said the concept of online tutoring had been around for some time.
"Many colleges and universities across the country have supplemented their face-to-face writing consulting," she said. "The oldest and best-known online writing lab is out of Purdue
Jennifer Cunka, acting director of Purdue's writing lab, said its online lab had been in operation since 1993. She said the lab was tremendously successful.
"It's very popular amongst students here at Purdue and from around the world," Cunka said. "We receive about two million hits per year."
Cunka said the Purdue site offered links to other online writing labs, an e-mail address for asking the writing consultants specific questions and handouts on an array of grammatical and technical questions.
Eodice said KU Writing Center's site, which is available to all students, already offered literature on common grammatical and technical problems as well as links to other online resources. She said that by summer, the site should have an e-mail address
sumitur to those at Purdue and on the Edwards campus prototype site.
The main campus site also will be available to people outside the KU community.
"We don't plan to block out people who are not affiliated with KU." Eodice said.
She said the current KU Web site also got several hits from people as far away as Japan.
Angela Place, Lenexa graduate student and assistant director of the KU Writing Center, is one of the tutors for the Edwards site. She said the online writing lab would increase the center's goal of accessibility.
"Piloting online tutoring first on the Edwards campus, and then on the main campus this summer, is one significant way that we can deliver on that promise of accessibility," Place said.

Peanuts musical to take stage at Hashinger Hall theater
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters will come to life tonight in the musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
"It's a series of vignettes that deals with universal subject matter," said Hugo Vera, El Paso, Texas, senior and director of the program. "It's about dealing with peers, self-worth, self-esteem and self-doubt."
All four performances will be free.
Originally, the show was included with Hashinger Hall Art Week. But, because of a mix-up in advertising, it instead has become an independent event, said Jenny Gattone, Overland Park sophomore and performer in the musical.
the performances will be in the
Hashinger theater at 9 tonight, 2:30
p.m. tomorrow and 2:30 and 8 p.m.
on Sunday.
Vera said he chose the musical because of Schulz's death on Feb.
13 this year.
"It seemed appropriate," Vera said. "I think most people don't know how much impact these characters have had over the years."
About 13 people are involved in the hour-long musical - seven will perform as the Peanuts characters. Gattone, who plays Lucy, said she got involved with the musical because she loved Peanuts and enjoyed reading the script.
"Everyone has worked really hard on it," she said. "It's going to be a great show."
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown will follow the encore presentation of the Vagina Monologues, which begins at 7:30 tonight in the Hashinger theater.
The Vagina Monologues is a reenactment of several interviews conducted by Eve Ensler with hundreds of women from around the world about their bodies, said Julie DePauw, Chesterfield, Mo., sophomore and actress in the play.
It's main focus is to allow women to express themselves openly and freely, she said.

Education focuses on digital demands
Social interaction shouldn't be overshadowed by technology
Universities across the nation are beginning to require computers for all students. About 100 colleges already require a computer for matriculation. This trend poses several practical problems in the short term. However, the more significant long-term effects are hard to determine. Perhaps the computerized classroom will become what we make of it.
Universities are in competition with one another to establish themselves as among the most "wired" campuses in the United States. Attending the most "wired" college is no different than attending a college that claims to have a mass 5-subject notebook surplus. Aside from the practical benefits of having access to a personal computer, the requirement itself seems to be a public relations scheme for universities. The computer is, after all, a tool, and not intrinsic to being educated. It is the high-tech equivalent of a notebook, pen or library card.
The University of Kansas has provided students with adequate access to these machines with the numerous computer labs
and computer science classes on campus. KU students have access to computers, but they are not a requirement. For now, a personal computer just may be another barrier to higher education that would demand students either to work more during school or require more student aid.
Requiring all students to have their own computers may seem like an innocuous step in creating an electronic classroom. However, major changes occur in small steps. After a short time, the computer could grow from the status of a mere tool to a fundamental pillar of education. Perhaps there are greater questions to consider other than practicability. Perhaps we should consider what changes, good or bad, are coming to academia care of the computer.
How will the computer change teaching? KU professors already are beginning to post their course information online. At other universities it's common for notes for an entire course to be accessible online. This could be a small step toward the "virtual classroom" that is conducted entirely electronically.
In these terms, several inequalities could be remedied. Those who are disadvantaged by finance or geography can travel to any university in the
travel to any university in the United States and take classes from the foremost experts in any field. Wouldn't it be incredible for a law student in Kansas to take a course from Alan Dershowitz at Harvard?
And won't the Internet make participation easier? Maybe the virtual classroom will allow
students to manage their hectic schedules better. By conducting class discussions via e-mail, students might have a more convenient way to participate at

These are some of
the idyllic advantages to electronic education, but they might become the bane of education as well. With more and more computers in the classroom, we may grow to understand education as a uniquely asocial activity as well as an intellectual one.
After all, an online class from Harvard is
never going to be like actually meeting with Alan Dershowitz or.
As much as we herald the new age of electronic, it might turn out to be more of a barrier between students and instructors than a utility.
The truth is that computers will be what we make of them. The best way to ensure they don't stand in the way of education is to question seriously the benefit of attending the "most wired college" in the United States. We should be prepared to look for greater academic values instead of technological frippery.
Government withheld facts about HIV-tainted blood
Perspective
Brett Watson for the editorial board
As an intern for State Rep. Phill Kline (R-Shawnee)in Topeka, I have had the opportunity to discuss issues with him and members of his staff. Recently, fetal-tissue harvesting has been an issue that is being debated hotly in the Capitol. This has sparked some discussion
about the government's role in medicine.
I thought that I knew the office staff fairly well until last week when I was stunned by a story that one of Kline's staff members told me. She had told me that her son had committed suicide years ago, and I thought that it was because of personal reasons. It was, but it turns out he was prompted by circumstances that the government could have prevented.
Her son was a hemophiliac, and therefore had to receive transfusions frequently

blood may have been infected with the HIV virus. Instead of allowing this to be public knowledge and stopping the use of the tainted blood, hospitals across the United States and in other countries decided to allow the blood to be dispersed. Their argument was that if it was leaked to the
always was a slight fear among her and her family that the blood could be tainted, a possibility in blood transfusions. But the distinction in this story is that the government knew that the blood was tainted and still let it be administered to thousands of people.
The blood already had been shipped and distributed to hospitals around the world when the Centers for Disease Control alerted them that the
public that such a massive quantity of blood was found to be bad, it would undermine the efforts of the blood drive. It was thought that the public then would have less faith in the blood donor system and therefore less would give blood.
So instead, the medical community believed that it was more important to save the blood donor system and let people die as a result.
The staff member was
told that her son had only less than a one percent chance to contract the HIV virus, and her doctor told her that it was something that the public should not worry about. Her son decided to get tested, and the results were positive. He had contracted the HIV virus, and it was the fault of the government. As a result, he decided that he didn't want to live his life with the virus, and took it at the young age of 22. The point of this
story isn't to appall you or make you scared of the medical community. Nor was the staff member telling me this story to receive monetary compensation. The point is to create awareness.
The medical community thought it was necessary to keep this from the public. A total of 10,000 were infected, and this supposedly was to keep public perception of blood donation positive. How can this be seen as a proper justification?
In addition, there is not a single person who can be held accountable. The staff member told me that she didn't want compensation. How could she ever get compensation? The government can't bring her son back.
After hearing her story, I was struck by how she simply wants to create awareness instead of going after the government with revenge. What is done is done, and all that can make the situation better is to try and ensure that it will never happen again.
It is appalling that the government took these lives to eradicate negative thoughts about the donation of blood. I believe that the government definitely erred in this decision, and I hope that more of you are now aware of its wrongful actions.

Coalition disrespects Senate
I recently have just read the article entitled, "Resume Builders' platform includes drastic policy change," from the date Kansan. I think Resume Builders is making a mockery of the entire Student Senate election process.
Its platform mainly is to allow drinking at KU football games. They claim that it will boost school spirit and participation at football games, but do they realize that most KU students do not turn 21 until their junior years? This would affect not even half of KU undergraduates.
Resume Builders wants to conduct Senate meetings at strip clubs. This would be the most inappropriate and
I think these people are wasting their time and making fun of Senate and all it does for us.
unofficial way to conduct meetings. Is our Senate supposed to be a joke? Senate handles major decisions for the University of Kansas, and Resume Builders want so it have at a strip club?
Its slogan is, "A vote for the Resume Builders is a vote for babies ... because we like babies ... as long as they're not ours." This has absolutely nothing to do with Senate or election issues.

Stadium needs alcohol
This season, my friends and I tailgated every football game. The University of Kansas lacks the tradition and school spirit of schools like Kansas State and Missouri. There, the tailgating tradition
Although the Resume Builders come off as an outlandish fraternity prank, they have a legitimate argument concerning alcohol at football games.
is so strong that there is no need for alcohol in the stadium. Here, attendance is lacking. No one goes, and even fewer tailgate. We are basically the only undergraduates who consistently tailgate.
Allowing alcohol at the games would not only boost the morale of fans, but it also would bring more school spirit to the games and inspire the team to perform for its fans. Right now, our team is not excellent, but where were you when we beat our rival Missouri? I was in the parking lot harassing the Missourians. Imagine if we had been inside the stadium. Imagine an October afternoon when the University is boasting its most beautiful weather. Imagine yourself celebrating with your friends, beer in hand. Wouldn't you like to come back for Homecoming and remember something about college football, something about our traditions? I know I'll remember sitting in the parking lot because I can't go inside the stadium with my beer.

As an underage (granted, illegal) patron of many parties and drinking establishments in Lawrence, the letters "ABC" froze my blood on
Heather Woodson guest columnist opinion@kansan.com
Abuse of power by ABC needs to be questioned
many occasions. However, as I became older and reached the golden age of 21 and beyond, I began to understand and respect the job the ABC has been appointed to do.
C
Then I took a job at a bar in Lawrence. I now see the ABC in a whole new light. Let me give you an example. Recently, I sat at a table at the bar with two other off-the-clock employees. About 10:30 p.m., seven middle-aged people marched in a line into the bar. Whispers of "ABC"
That's when the fun began. Two of the ABC agents walked straight up to a girl in the bar. She was underage but was with her parents (her father is a judge) celebrating her sister's 21st birthday. She had been in the bar since grill hours, before we start carding at the door. The agents did not see her consume any alcohol. However, she was told to wait outside and talk to the agents. She compiled and quickly walked to the door. One of the agents seemed to think she was running away. He yelled, "Hey, slow down!" and began to walk briskly, following her to the door. "Didn't he just tell her to go outside?" I thought.
As he walked/ran after the girl, he tripped on the foot of one of the guys I was sitting with. Immediately, before any of us even understood what was happening, two ABC agents had grabbed him so tightly that his arms were turning white, and they were screaming (and I mean screaming—one agent was purple-faced, shaking and spitting as he yelled) something about obstruction, harassment, drunk and disorderly (after one Guinness?). They told him he was going to be arrested.
Without thinking, I stepped between them to calm the out-of-control agent and tell him that I
began, and I simply rolled my eyes and continued minding my own business.
They went outside to deal with the girl who had been attending her sister's birthday party. Eventually, the two agents who had confronted us came back in looking for the guy who had "harassed" them. Harassed them? What about the arm-grabbing, screaming, spitting and chest poking? When my friend and I brought up these minor details, they throw out some snide comments and left. Score one point for us!
and another girl at the table had seen him trip on the guy's foot. He proceeded to tell me to shut up and poked a finger in my chest, pushing me backward. I'm fairly sure that the ABC has the right to cite underage drinkers but not to arrest people, scream in their faces and manhandle them.
This was not an isolated incident. Things like this happen all the time. I believe the idea of the ABC is respectable. In college towns, the police cannot control underage drinking on its own. I don't believe that the police ever will control it, but it is its job to try. But the people who they have appointed to help them do their jobs have crossed the line. They come in and push their way around, usually end up in a screaming match with someone and basically abuse the power that has been appointed to them. The question is, why doesn't anyone ever question them about their behavior?
When the real police come in, they make a point at least to talk to us. They just are doing their jobs, and actually they are helping us stay out of trouble by getting rid of minors in the bar. The ABC, on the other hand, has taken its "power" too far. ABC agents do not have the right to come in yelling and pushing their way around.
Then one agent came back in and heard the lead singer of the band who was performing giving his opinion on the microphone about the situation that had just occurred. Granted, he was derogatory and condescending toward the ABC, but he was simply stating his opinion. Has anyone ever heard of the First Amendment, free speech, etc.? The agent decided to kick him out for obstruction. Obstruction of what? Only a deaf, blind, mute, comatose person could not have known about the situation that had just occurred.
Let me explain that the entire bar knew what was going on. How could you not? They had announced themselves by making a scene and throwing their "power" around. There was not one person in that bar who did not know that the ABC had just left.

Tunisia added to study abroad mix
By Karen Lucas Special to the Kansan
The KU Office of Study Abroad added a new item to the menu of July programs
the mother of the program
— the Bourguiba Institute in
Tunis, Tunisia.
"Tunisia is a great addition to the diversity of the programs we offer here," said Margareta O'Connell, director of study abroad.
Lotfi Bennour, lecturer in African and African-American Studies, will direct the program. He is a native of Tunisia and studied
The program will offer students a complete immersion in the language and culture of Arabs, with emphasis on North Africa. Instructors will teach students the Arabic language throughout the immersion, he said.
at the Institute for four years.
Jennifer Fecke, Burnsville, Minn., senior, said she applied to the program because she thought a knowledge of Arabic would be useful for professional purposes.
"I wanted to learn some Arabic because it's becoming such a big part of the business world." she said.
Participants also can take an Arabic culture course or a history course — dealing with the thought and identity of the Arabic people — both of which will be taught in English. The second course meets the University of Kansas' non-Western culture course requirement.
Students will learn about Tunisian life and culture in other ways as well by eating at Tunisian restaurants and attending workshops on cultural topics from music to calligraphy.
KU Germanic groups to hold symposium
By Karen Lucas Special to the Kansan
Graduate students from the University of Kansas and three other universities will share the fruits of their research in German studies this weekend.
The fourth annual Graduate Student Symposium on German Language, Literature and Culture will be today and tomorrow at the Max Kade Center for German-American Studies in Sudler House. The center, the Graduate Association of German Students and the department of Germanic languages and literatures are sponsoring the symposium, during which graduate students will read papers they have written.
Glenn Hudspeth, Lawrence graduate student and president of the student association, said the symposium would not only provide a way for students to present their research and get critical feedback, but it also would help them in the academic job market.
"Just to get a job interview with a university, graduate students generally are expected to have already published and presented research at a conference," he said. "This symposium offers the grad students a wonderful opportunity to fulfill one of these expectations."
Although most of the 15 papers will deal with literature, some will cover topics in linguistics and German-American history, Hudspeth said. The papers will be given in German as well as English. Sean Henry, Lawrence graduate student, will present a paper titled "Faseist or Homosexual? The Reception of August von Platen during the Weimar Republic." He said the paper, which was part of his dissertation, looked at how a group of conservative and liberal readers had interpreted the work of Platen, a 19th-century homosexual German poet.
Although it will be a student symposium, some faculty members will participate. As in the past, they will respond to the students' presentations, Hudspeth said.
"It is a good idea because it gives students a perspective they might not have thought of," said Leonie Marx, professor of Germanic languages and literatures and faculty adviser to the student association.

Cuban boy's father requests visa
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Eilan Gonzalez's father asked for a visa yesterday to come to the United States and take the boy back to Cuba, as dozens of anti-Castro activists linked arms outside the 6-year-old's Miami home, practicing resistance techniques.
The attempt to get a visa hit a procedural snag, however. The father's lawyer asked the State Department for a visa, only to be told that applications must be submitted to the U.S. diplomatic mission in Havana.

Meanwhile, on the street in front of the house in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood where Elian has been staying with his great-uncle, dozens of demonstrators linked arms and formed two rows.
"We will not let Elan's civil rights be violated," said Ramon Saul Sanchez, head of the Democracy Movement, an unint-Castro group.
During the last few days, demonstrators have vowed to give their lives to prevent Elian from being taken away.

Volcano may erupt soon
10,000 Japanese evacuate homes
The Associated Press
DATE, Japan — Fissures appeared on the flanks of a snow-capped Japanese volcano yesterday, a sign that an eruption was imminent because of the magma churning below the earth.
More than 10,000 people were forced to leave their homes near Mount Usu on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido and were warned not to venture back.

"I'm very, very anxious to see what is happening in my house and in my field," said Masanori Ueavena, a 66-year-old farmer.
Thousands of quakes have been registered in the last three days around the 2,416-foot mountain — 475 miles north of Tokyo. While tremors have become less frequent, officials said they were gaining in intensity because of the movement of magma underground.
Observers aboard a military hellcopter found that magma had pushed open cracks on the volcano's western slope and near its base yesterday. Its fissure on the western slope stretched 100 yards.
Jason Williams/KANSAN
Mount Usu last erupted in 1977. Mudslides caused by eruptions killed two people.
In Tokyo, an emergency task force was set up at Prime Minister Keito Obuchi's residence.
Worried that an eruption would melt the snow and cause mudslides, authorities ordered the evacuation of 4,137 homes in this town at the volcano's base and at Sobetua and Abuta. Together, the towns have a population of 51,300.
Residential areas near the volcano were deserted except for police cars blocking the roads, town officials checking for stragglers and abandoned dogs scampering about the streets.
Bickering about census intensifies in Congress
The Associated Press
FAIRFAX, Va. — Countering criticism from congressional Republicans, Census Bureau Director Kenneth Prewitt said yesterday the agency's longform questionnaire was an essential tool in helping communities across the country.
Even questions that some Republicans labeled as intrusive, such as "Do you have a telephone?" and "Are you a veteran?" are useful to determine how local services are provided. Prewitt said during an appearance here aimed at promoting participation in the Census.
Some Republicans, including Majority Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi, said they had urged constituents to leave blank questions they felt invaded their privacy.
But yesterday, Prewitt said:
"When they pause and look at
the information is being
used, my guess is they will actually see its usefulness. People will recognize that this information is legally, socially and economically important."
Speaking to reporters at a fire hall, Prewitt also said he was unsure how the complaints would affect the willingness of citizens to return the forms. Through Wednesday, 46 percent of American households had responded to this year's survey.
A long form of the census questionnaire, which contains 53 questions, was sent to one in six of the country's some 115 million households, said Lott spokesman John Czwartacki. He said that Lott had received a number of complaints from constituents about the form.
"If there's a question that invades their privacy they should leave it blank." Czwartacki said, while at the same time urging everyone to fill out and return their forms.
The Census Bureau said it had added just one question to the long form since 1990.

Group to return park's natural landscape
By Jennifer Knopp Special to the Kansan
Native wildflowers and prairie grasses will be returned to nature tomorrow.
KU Biological Survey staff, an organization that does biological research, and other local volunteers will return 156 acres of former cropland near Lawrence's Eagle Bend Golf Course to a natural landscape of sunflowers and prairie clover. The project is part of a prairie restoration project.
Kindersch said volunteers could benefit from the project.
Fraser said that the restored land would not look exactly like its original natural state, but that it would look similar.
The City of Lawrence asked for the restoration project after it decided to develop the land into a public park. Partners for Wildlife agreed to finance the project.
Last summer, staff and other volunteers collected the native prairie and wetland seeds for the project.

Alex Fraser, Lawrence doctoral student and prairie restoration coordinator, said it was important to replant wild grasses and plants.
she said.
"There's less than 1 percent of tall grass plants left in the entire prairie region." Fraser said.
"We won't be able to finish this project without volunteers," he said.
Kelly Kindscher, associate scientist at the biological survey and prairie restoration coordinator, said that this was an important step for the city.
"They will learn about wet prairies and help make a great project possible," she said.
Fraser, who has participated in other wetland restoration projects in Miami and Douglas counties, said prairie wetlands were an important part of the ecosystems.
"Wetlands are important for wildlife," he said. "They provide a lot of the food sources for birds and other animals."
Biological survey staff monitored
"We couldn't just put a prairie landscape anywhere," Fraser said. "It is an appropriate place to put a reserve because it had the right characteristics."
"This restoration shows that the city recognizes that parks don't have to be only mowed grass and ball fields, but can be wild and natural places, too."
the site near Eagle Bend for several seasons before deciding that it was the proper place for restoration.
He said a successful growth rate largely would depend on weather conditions and the number of volunteers who participated this weekend.
The Eagle Bend restoration will consist of dry prairie grasses and plants, and wetlands will serve as floodplains.

New childcare center to offer outdoors theme
Beginning in August, children who attend the Hilltop Child Development Center will learn in a new environment one that stresses the environment.
When the new center opens next fall behind Anschutz Sports Pavilion, a Kansas nature theme will be added, said Pat Pisani, Hilltop director. Not only will the theme help develop the center, but it also will contribute to the learning experience for the children as well, she said.
"I don't really know of another childcare center that actually has a theme that it's based on." she said.
The theme will be used throughout the interior and exterior of the building. The center will be painted in natural, subtle color, and each wall inside will be painted with nature scenes. Every room also will have its own individual nature theme. Behind the center, prairie grasses will be added along with a stone creek bed with running water.
"All our children are very interested in nature, animals, plants and things," Pisani said. "The setting for the new building is perfect for that where it is — back in the nice green

is showing its age. Plumbing, ventilation and electrical problems have been recurring during recent years.
A Code Condition Analysis is under way with the building. This means modifications to the building are being looked into.
With more outside space, the children can look forward to enjoying the outdoors a lot more, said Nancy Golden, preschool teacher.
"We don't have a lawn here because we're on a slope, and so we get terrace pea gravel," she said.
The new building will cost about $3 million. Theresa Klinkenberg, director of administration, said it was being financed through a contract the University of Kansas had with Hilltop and through student fees. Hilltop collects the fees and deposits them with the state, she said.
"It will go to an office-type occupancy," said Don Whipple, manager of
Hilltop's current building, which was built in 1954, originally housed the Methodist Student Center. Although it was not intended for childcare, Hilltop has been using it since 1972.
Because more children have attended the center each year, there isn't enough space for them in the current building. The 46-year-old building also
Haskell students work for U.S. forest service
By Kursten Phelps Special to the Kansan
"We did a lot of camping out, and I liked seeing all the different parts of Nevada," Eagle Star said. "It was nice seeing all the mountains because I'm from South Dakota, and we don't really have a lot of mountains."
Haskell Indian Nations University students have a chance to work across western United States this summer for the U.S. Forest Service.
Natasha Eagle Star, Haskell sophomore, worked last summer maintaining trails in central Nevada.
In addition to the opportunity to make money. Raymond said participants had the opportunity to meet new people and explore different parts of the country.
Vanover said he had worked in 11 different western states the past two summers. As part of his job, he rode in helicopters, rappelled into fires and hiked into mountains through rough terrain that aircraft couldn't reach to fight fires.
The opportunity exists because of a student requisition program, a program that recruits Native American students from Haskell for seasonal employment. Other initiatives across the country seek out workers from other segments of the population, said Geri Raymond of Haskell's Natural Resources office.
"I needed money, and I found out that I enjoyed it," he said. "We travel all over. You're never in one place too long. You're always moving because there are always fires."
Raymond said students were hired for a variety of jobs, ranging from firefighting to trail construction in the nation's national forests.
"This is a great program because Native Americans are under-represented in the work force," Raymond said. "It's nice to get fresh ideas out there, too — especially from youth."
The office will pay for transportation to the job site and provide student loans to purchase work boots. Workers will earn $8.70 per hour.
She said the office had received 40 applications for the program. All Haskell student in good academic standing with valid drivers licenses are eligible as long as they can commit for the entire summer.
Tyler Vanover, Haskell junior, worked on the firefighting crew the past two summers and has decided to work for the service again this summer.
"It's one of those jobs that's not for everyone," he said. "It's kind of dangerous."
"You get to work outside in beautiful scenery," she said. "How awful can that be? Where else are you going to be able to eat your lunch sitting by a crystal clear stream in the mountains, watching endangered salmon spawn?"

Hooked Colonics
Some say they're flushing their way to good health
Story by Kami Bremeyer Photos by J.M. Dailey
wenty gallons of water gently administered through the rectum, not aspirin, cured a KU student's fever.
When Maureen Goddard, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, came down with a 101-degree temperature, she went to see her colon therapist instead of seeing a doctor.
Goddard took a colonic, and a few hours later the fever disappeared, which she attributed to the treatment.
"I felt completely better," Goddard said.
Now Goddard sees her colonic therapist every time she begins to feel ill.
Common ailments treated by colonics
- Allergies
- Backache
- Colds/Flu
- Sore throat
- Lung congestion
- Coated tongue
- Bad breath
- Cold hands or feet
- Overweight/underweight
- Extended abdomen
- Improper posture
- Poor appetite
- Headaches
- Depression
- Lack of sexual response
- Loss of memory

A bed with a pillow on top. There is a safe behind the bed. A rocking chair is visible in the background.
Colonic therapy is a method of cleansing the colon of waste material by repeated gentle flushing with water. Also known as colonic irrigation, the treatment has been growing in popularity with people who are interested in a homeopathic approach to health.
The driving belief behind colonics is that the waste left in the colon from a high-fat diet can build up and cause toxicity, which creates ailments such as fatigue, headaches, foul body odor and possibly arthritis.
Kathy Schmidtberger.
a DeSoto-based dental hygienist, watched a co-worker metamorphose from being sluggish and unhappy to being juvenated and healthy.
"I finally asked her, 'What are you doing?'" Schmidtberger said. "When she told me it was colon irrigation, I wouldn't discuss it with her for three weeks, because as a hygienist I was told not to discuss anything below the belt."
Schmidtberger's health was at an all-time low.
Exhausted by traditional approaches to healing, she decided to give colonics a try.
"After my first colonic, I'll never forget, I felt so much better," she said. "I felt clean inside and my stomach felt lighter."
Schmidtberger continued receiving

colonics about twice a week for three months and said she saw drastic improvements in her health. Colors became more vivid, her energy level increased, hair she had lost grew back, and her outlook on life improved.
Schmidtberger said receptor sites that affect the senses are in the colon. The receptors can be clouded by impacted fecal matter, she said, and can dull a people's senses if they are not cleansed.
The medical profession does not recognize colonic therapy as a means for enhancing sensory experience, nor does it license colon therapists. Most therapists receive training only from the manufacturer of the equipment they use.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that generally the food you took into your system was pushed through the colon in a day's time. He also said it was normal for the colon to have fecal matter in it because the organ is designed to be a constant vehicle for elimination.
A colonic differs from an enema because in the average enema only half a gallon of water is used; most colonics use about 20 gallons of water. In an enema, water only reaches the first portion of the colon, the descending colon.
In the medical community, Rock said that enemas were used for conditions such as constipation but generally only after other methods proved unsuccessful.
A colonic is much more aggressive. It is able to cleanse deeper into the colon because of the amount water used.
Even though the medical community does not endorse colonic therapy, local colonic clinics are thriving.
Schmidtberger, a hygienist by day, is now moonlighting as a colonic therapist. In January, she opened Heartland Cleansing, 3350 Lexington Ave., in DeSoto. Her clients include a construction worker, a heavy equipment operator, a mother of four and a pilot.
Patients pay $35 for their first visit and
$50 dollars for each subsequent visit.
The focal point of the room is the Jimmy John III, also known as the irrigator. The eight-foot-long machine, approved by the Food and Drug Administration, is shaped like an L. The bed of the machine, similar to a reclining toilet, is connected to the control unit that has a 10-gallon tank of water and is mounted with a sort of rearview mirror. The mirror is positioned so patients can see their results be whisked away through the clear-plastic pipe that runs
Unlike a typical examination room, the walls in the Hearttand cleansing room are painted a friendly shade of peach. Against the east wall is a modern sink and counter adorned with scented hand lotions and a candle. In the corner is a high-back antique chair.
under the length of the machine.
Schmidtberger, who received colonics training from the manufacturer of the Jimmy John III, said she believed that a colonic treatment was most comfortable as a private experience.
Before patients begin therapy, Schmidtberger coaches them on how the machine and apparatus works so they can be self-sufficient and best maintain their dignity.
The colon begins taking in the water. When it is full, the muscles in the organ force the water out around the speculum and down the tube for viewing in the magnifying mirror. The repeated process of filling and releasing lasts for about 45 minutes, at which point the patient slides the lever back to turn the machine off.
First, patients undress from the waist down. Then while sitting down on the machine, the patient lifts up the speculum to slide it into the rectum. The patient then starts the machine by sliding the water release lever, similar to the throttle on a speedboat, toward him.
A
Following the treatment, Schmidt-berger said most clients felt refreshed and continued with their daily activities. She said that few people felt any side effects.
For two days following a colonic, Schmidtberger recommends a light diet focusing on fruits, nuts and acidophilus, a supplement to replenish the colon with healthy bacteria.
After her first colonic at Heartland Cleansing, Andrea Newton, Omaha, Neb., junior, was surprised.
"It didn't feel unnatural at all," she said. "It was very relaxing. I wanted to fall asleep."
Unlike Heartland Cleasing's self-service philosophy, Coon's Count of rural Lawrence, where Goddard received her colonic, is considered a full-service colonic clinic.
Owner David Coon quit his day job after receiving accreditation in colon therapy from Wood Hygienic Institute, a state-accrediting institution, to become a full-time colon therapist. Coon serves

patients from the Lawrence area and charges $50 for the first colonic and $40 thereafter.
Coon assists the patient through the entire cleansing proc
ess. He helps insert the speculum and also controls water flow into the colon from his gravity-flow cleansing equipment.
Coon talks with patients during the procedure to accommodate their sensations while he massages their colon to help release impacted fecal matter. Anyone who is interested in maintaining good health is a candidate for colonics, Coon said.
"Taking a colonic is like brushing your teeth," he said.
Rock said he did not believe that colonics were necessary for people wishing to maintain optimum health. The medical profession says if the digestive tract is allowed to perform its designed function, it alone will be successful in sustaining a healthy body.
"If you have an adequate diet, water intake and a daily bowel movement, then you are accomplishing exactly what the body is supposed to do, and for no added cost." Rock said. "If you are paying $40 or $50 for a colonic cleansing treatment, something that happens anyway, I doubt that is very cost-effective."
Students should be aware of the potential risks involved. Complications in colonic treatments can occur if the equipment used is not sterile. Rock said it was also possible for the colon to be perforated if the speculum was misguided.
Rock encouraged students who had questions about colonic irrigation or were considering participating in colonic therapy to first speak to a nurse or doctor at Watkins.
Colonics patients may not be able to support medically the benefits of colon therapy, but for some the value of a colonic is intrinsic.
"Maybe it's just psychological, but it feels refreshing," Newton said. "I would like to try it again."

Badgers hope to surprise Spartans
INDIANAPOLIS — Does Wisconsin have at least one more surprise left?
If so, tomorrow's the time to bring it out. The Badgers are one game away from a chance for the NCAA basketball championship, but to get there they'll have to beat top-seeded Michigan State, a Big Ten rival that already has beaten them three times this season.
"I'd rather be playing someone else," Wisconsin coach Dick Bennett said Wednesday. "Without any reservation I can say that."
Anything seems possible in this topsy-turvy tournament.
Michigan State is the only No.1 seed to reach the Final Four, and Wisconsin already has ousted another No.1 in its second-round victory against Arizona. A semifinal appearance against the Spartans on Saturday will be Wisconsin's first in the Final Four since 1941, when the Badgers won the championship.
"We're somewhat surprised," Bennett said of the eighth-seeded Badgers, who lost
13 games in the regular season. "I would be lying if I said this was a goal that was really prominent in our thinking."
Wisconsin was a bubble team that got into the tournament as an at-large selection. So was North Carolina, which also lost 13 games and received a No. 8 seed. The Tar Heels will play fifth-seeded Florida, which barely got by Butler in overtime in the first round, in the other semi-
the first round, in the other semifinal at the RCA Dome.
"For us, being young, the more emotional experiences you go through, there's a tendency to bring you closer," said Florida coach Billy Donovan. "We had some games go down to the wire, probably none more emotional than the Butler game."
W
The Final Four teams have a combined 40 losses, the most since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. The last champion with more than 10 losses was Kansas, with 11, in 1988. North Carolina and Wisconsin are the lowest seeds to reach the Final Four since No. 11 LSU in 1986.
"There's a lot of parity in college basketball, a lot of very good coaches and players,
and consequently a lot of very good teams," North Carolina's Bill Guthridge said. "On a given day, when it's one-game-and-you'reout, a lot of top seeds are going to lose, and that's happened this year.
"I think it's good for college basketball. It's good for the game and good for interest in the tournament."
North Carolina, which lost to Duke in the final game of the regular season and then to Wake Forest in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament, took out Missouri, Stanford, Tennessee and Tulsa to reach the Final Four. Florida took to Auburn in
The Final Four. Florida lost to Abuah in the second round of the Southeastern Conference tourney and barely got past Butler in overtime in its NCAA opener. The Gators then beat Illinois, stunned Duke and outlasted Oklahoma State.
1 don't think them being a No. 8 seed is any indication what they've done this year." Donovan said of the Tar Heels. "What's so impressive to me about Carolina is that their team has gotten better and better and he [Guthridge] has gotten them to play their best basketball at the time of the
wear you want them to do that."
Wisconsin lost to Michigan State twice in the regular season and again in the Big Ten tournament. The Badgers then beat Fresno State, Arizona, LSU and Purdue, using their trademark pressing defense to hold each of them to no more than 60 points.
"The perception of us playing ugly has been kind of a buzzword for a few years," Wisconsin coach Dick Bennett said. "When we lose, I guess it's really ugly. But I always felt working for good shots and playing team defense and taking care of the ball is the way you play. ... Maybe that eliminates some of the exciting plays, but if that's ugly, so be it."
And if Wisconsin is a surprise underdog,
so be that, too.

Twins will be foes in series that pits 'Hawks against A&M
By Amanda Kashube sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
When Kansas batters step into the batter's box tonight, they might notice that the Texas A&M catcher bears a striking resemblance to one of their fellow Jayhawks.
That's because Aggie walk-on catcher Jason Gremminger and Kansas outfielder Jesse Gremminger are identical twins. This will be the first time the twins have met on the field since parting waves last fall.
"I can't imagine what it will be like," Jesse said. "I hope he doesn't make me laugh."
The Gremminger twins attended McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, but Jesse left Texas for Hoglund Ballpark in Kansas.
"Jason always wanted to go to A&M, and he decided he didn't want to play baseball anymore," Jesse said. "But he walked-on and made the team. If we didn't have our numbers on, people might be confused."
Confusion aside, Kansas, 17-13, 5-7 in the Big 12, will square off against Texas A&M, 18-15, 8-4, at 7 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark for the first of three games this weekend. Junior Pete Smart will take the mound for the 'Hawks, and the Jayhawk Gremminger will take right field.
In the midst of an eight-game hitting streak, Gremminger has found his groove in the batter's box after a successful spring break where he went 2-for-4 against Rockhurst and 1-for-3 against Missouri. And that helps ease coach Bobby Randall's woes about the Kansas offense.
"He had a tremendous fall, but he hasn't gotten to that level during the spring," Randall said.

Kansas ace shutting down the opposition
By Amanda Kashube

Kansas sportswriter
It's easy to tell when Pete Smart gets rattled during the course of a game.
First, the 1999 University of Kansas pitcher of the year steps off the pitching rubber after each pitch he throws. Then, the junior starts circling the mound. Finally, after he collects his thoughts, he steps back onto the mound and fires a 90 mph fastball low in the zone for a strike.
"Last year, I did the circles after each pitch," he said. "The games took forever. It's a bad habit. I'd rather eliminate them, but I slip in and out."
If his sheer throwing speed doesn't scare opposing batters, his physical appearance should. At 6 feet 7 inches, Smart is only 3 inches shorter than the tallest man ever to do a KU uniform — Dave Robisch in 1969. But Smart doesn't think that frightens his opponents.
"I might seem intimidating, but after they see me throw my first warm-up pitch, they probably laugh," he said. "I think a pitcher can intimidate with his presence on the mound. You get a guy out, go back on the mount and do it again. You show no fear."
And Smart hasn't. With two shutouts, a team-high 36 Ks and a 2.87 ERA under his belt, the lefty starter seems at home on the mound. But collecting strikeouts and winning wasn't always that simple for the Omaha, Neb., native and a sworn "Huskers-hater."
He was a medical redshirt his first year at Kansas with a knee injury and used mainly as a closer his freshman season. And during a disastrous 1999 season when Kansas went 14-40, Smart didn't get into the starting rotation until the last two weeks. His ERA (7.19) was the fifth lowest on a team that averaged 7.57.

Rowing
Kansas rows into hard water
By Shawn Lienberger
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas rowing team will have an early USRowing Top 25 showdown tomorrow when it races Iowa on Lake Macbride just north of Iowa City. Iowa.
The No. 23 Jayhawks will take on the No.16 Hawkeyes in what could be the first of many meetings this year. Both teams will compete in the Central Regional Championships in May, the last step before the NCAA Championships.
Kansas will race Iowa in the morning and face Tennessee in the afternoon. Kansas State also will be competing — the Wildcats will meet Tennessee in the morning and race Iowa in the afternoon session tomorrow.
Kansas coach Rob Catloth, whose team defeated Tulsa in last Saturday's season opener, said the Iowa race could give the Jayhawks some momentum for the rest of the season.
"Iowa sets us up for a lot of other races," Catloth said. "If we lose to Iowa, we need a must-win later. We'll definitely have to upset somebody down the road."
Last year, Kansas and Iowa rowed against each other three times — the Jayhawks won once in races that were decided by two seconds or less.
Both teams are fighting for position in the elite NCAA Championships. Only the top 15 teams in the final coaches' poll advance to the NCAAs.
And then there's Tennessee. The Volunteers are unranked, and a Jayhawk win against the Hawkeyes in the morning might take their minds off competition in the afternoon.
But Catloth doesn't anticipate a let-down.
And his rowers agree. Senior Keesha Cravens doesn't think the team's effort level will change either.
"They're so focused on where they're at and where they want to be," he said about his team. "In the afternoon they'll be ready to pile it on, so to speak."
"We really want to beat Iowa," she said. "But every race is equally important."
The Jayhawks will travel to Camden, N.J., next weekend for races against Massachusetts and Villanova.

As far as I know, I've just heard that Clemson has really good sprinters," said
But being in the dark about the competition is almost a treat for the Jayhawks, who share nearly the same schedule as the
bordering Big 12 Conference schools.
“K-State, Mizzou and Nebraska — it gets old,” said Lorir LaRohe, throws coach. “It’s nice that I really don't know anything about the other teams.”
In fact, Kansas could have the advantage of being the odd man out at this tournament, because these teams regularly compete against one another and may have preconceived notions about every team except for the Jayhawks.
"It's kind of weird that the Midwest is coming out to throw," LaRowe said. "I've never even been to South Carolina."

either and sees the long-distance trip as a plus for the team in this young outdoor season.
"I don't even know if we've ever gone to South Carolina, and so I think it'll be a good experience for the entire team," Bulat said. "
"We like to look at how we compete together as a team and scored meets do that." Bulat said. "It's good early in the

season to have a scored meet, because we know if we can do well this early in the season, then we will do well during the big dance, the Big 12."
And as far as scoring goes, Kansas should have no problem if it performs like it did last weekend at the Dr Pepper Invitational in Waco, Texas.
Bulat said the team did a phenomenal job and racked up six first-place finishes. Junior team captains Andrea Branson and Scott Russell automatically qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championship meet in the pole vault and the javelin, respectively.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday: Money requires careful management or scarcity could replace abundance. Curtain your urge to spend recklessly in April. A surprising development costs more than you'd planned but could lead to an increase in revenues, too. If you treat every cent as if it were your last, it won't be. Learn from your teammates in June and spend July close to home. A child's request takes top priority in August. Look out for others in September. You could go up a notch around December, but wait until February to relax. Heed a woman's soft warnings next March.
Aries: Today is a 5.
An idea that should generate money for a group activity might not work. Don't get too involved with any of the suggestions that come up now. You need to get together with your teammates. The winning plan hasn't been generated yet.
Taurus: Today is a 6.
Gemini: Today is a 6.
You may not be in the mood to let anybody tell you what to do. A compromise is possible, but not without taking your wishes into consideration. You won't let anybody boss you around, no matter who they are. Let them know where you stand.
You may try to get out of town for most of the day It might be possible if you're efficient. You might have to take a detour to get to your destination.
Cancer; Today is a 6.
Leo: Today is a 6.
You're best-qualified to make the deal. Your friends may be more of a hindrance than a help, this is not a job you can delegate. First, figure out who has what you want. What do you have that he or she needs? All you have to do is work a trade.
A big mess is brewing out there. You're creative, and you have some good teammates on your side An older person is giving you fits, but that's OK. You and your buddies can get around that road-block. Your positive outlook is a big help.

Two people standing together.
Follow the old routine a little longer. You're anxious to try something new, but you don't have all the bugs worked out yet. Practice a little longer before you go public. You'll be glad you did, even though you may feel frustrated now.
This is a good time for you to form a partnership. You might decide to make a romantic commitment. An initial hassle pertains to money. Work that out ahead of time. Decide who's going to pay for what. Once that's done, the rest is easy.
You and your partner or mate have gone round and round lately. By now, you may be so tired that you're willing to try something you'd previously reject ed. Either that, or neither of you knew it existed. If you not there yet, seek professional guidance.

Pisces: Today is a 7.
Don't worry about money that you want to spend on a loved one or a child. You like to give seed money that can grow. That's not a bad idea. Think of a way to do it again. If you're stumped, ask the person who will benefit most from this gift.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Even though you're strong and getting stronger, you'll still facing difficulties. Draw up initial plans now, but don't try to figure out the whole scheme yet. If you take on too much, you'll boggle your brain. Just take one step at a time.
This could turn out to be a pleasant weekend. But first, you might have a stock of messages that you haven't returned. There are reasons you haven't, but forget them. The reasons, that is, not the notes. You'll be so much more relaxed once they're done
Amateur tournament expands to 48 teams
WICHITA — The field for the National Baseball Congress amateur tournament will expand from 32 to 48 teams — and games will be played exclusively in Wichita starting this summer.

舞
The expansion represents the largest NBC bracket ever, which will hold its 66th annual world series July 29 to Aug.12. A field of more than 175 teams in 18 leagues across the United States and Canada will fill the 48 positions.
The NBC also announced that it reached an agreement with Wichita State University to use the newly renovated Eck Stadium as the secondary tournament site.
It will replace El Dorado as the second site, but El Dorado will continue to play host to the Midwest regional tournament. The primary site for NBC games is Lawrence-Dumont Stadium in Wichita.
Longhorn baseball strongest in years
The Longhorns are 27-5 after a first-ever three-game sweep of Oklahoma State. They rank No. 2 in the USA Today Baseball Weekly/ESPN poll, their highest ranking since 1993.
AUSTIN, Texas — These are good times for Augle Garrido and University of Texas baseball.
The team's earned run average is much lower than recent levels, and the Longhorns are on a 10-game winning streak — their longest since 1997 — and in first place in the Big 12 as they start a three-game series at Oklahoma today.
STATUTIVO
"The program is healthy," Garrido said. "It's a lot easier to wear a smile around here now."
It was not long ago that the Longhorns looked rather sickly.
In 1997, Garrido replaced Texas legend Cliff Gustafson, the winningest coach in Division I history, after Gustafson fell out of favor and resigned in a financial dispute with university officials. Gustafson filed a lawsuit against Athletic Director Deloss Dodds.
His first team failed to qualify for the Big 12 tournament. In 1998, Garrido's second team had the first losing season since the 1950s. Texas showed signs of life when the Longhorns went 36-26 in 1999 and made it the postseason but finished sixth in the Big 12.

Tinsley will return,
won't enter NBA draft
AMES, Iowa — Jamaal Tinsley says he will come back to Iowa State next year instead of making himself eligible for the NBA draft.
"I'm staying in school because this is where I should be right now," the 6-3 junior point guard from New York City said. "I want to get my degree and improve my game and my leadership skills. I am staying in school without a doubt."
Tinsley and teammate Marcus Fizer, also a junior, have been subjects of widespread speculation since leading the Cyclones to the finals of the NCAA Midwest Region tournament.
Fizer has not announced his decision.
Tinsley, a junior college transfer from Mount San Jacinto (Calif.) Community College, said he only briefly considered leaving Iowa State.
He finished the season as the team leader in assists with 244 and steals with 98.
Coach Larry Eustachy said Tinsley had a chance to be the top point guard in the country next year.
indiana athletic director Clarence Doninger said he was physically threatened by the basketball coach during a recent shouting match and reported it to school administrators, The Indianapolis Star said yesterday
"Jamaal's decision is one of the wisest decisions I have ever seen a young man make," he said. "Another year will certainly benefit him on the court and in school."
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — First, players and referees felt the wrath of Bob Knight. Now, it is his athletic director.
A university representative downplayed the significance of the shouting match yesterday but acknowledged that an investigation into a former player's claims that Knight had choked him in practice might expand to examine other matters.
The disagreement came after the Hoosiers' 82-71 loss to Ohio State Feb. 19 and ended with a mutual friend separating Knight and Doninger, the newspaper said.
"They had a shouting match," said Christopher Simpson, an aide to Brand. "It was a painful loss and you have two very competitive officials who raised their voices afterwards."
indiana athletic director accuses Knight of threats
Last week, Brand appointed two university trustees to investigate Neil Reed's claims that Knight had choked him during practice. Brand ordered the trustees to report back within 90 days.
The full Board of Trustees was holding its regular monthly meeting yesterday and today at South Bend but was not expected to discuss Knight.

Kansas City trades unproductive catcher
HANES CITY, Fla. — The Kansas City Royals traded catcher Sal Fasano, who was hitting just .111 this spring, to the Oakland Athletics for cash yesterday.
MLB
Fasano, whom the Royals selected in the 37th round of the 1993 draft, played in 23 games for
Kansas City last season.
Fasano, 28, will join Oakland's Triple-A team in Sacramento, Calif.
His most productive season came in 1998, when he played in 74 games and hit .227 with eight home runs and 31 RBI.
A poor spring ended any chance Fasano had of making the Royals, who signed veteran catchers Brian Johnson and Greg Zauin in the off-season.
Hunter signs contract with Colorado Rockies
The 29-yearold Hunter left the Mariners on bitter terms, claiming he was not given a chance to win a job this spring. He will not find much room in Colorado, which has a starting outfield of Jeffrey Hammonds in left. Tom Goodwin in center and Larry Walker in right.
TUCSON, Anz. — Brian Hunter,
released by the Seattle Mariners on
Monday, signed a one-year contract with
the Colorado Rockies yesterday.
Hunter, an outfielder who led the American League with 44 steals last season, will be reunited with Rockies manager Buddy Bell. Bell was the manager in Detroit when Hunter played for the Tigers from 1997-98.
Hunter, traded from Detroit to Seattle last April, hit .232 with four homers and 34 RBI in 1999. He was awarded $2.4 million at arbitration, but Seattle had to pay only $593,407 in termination pay.
Hunter's best year came while he played for Bell in 1997. He hit .269 and had a career-high 74 steals. He provided Colorado with a right-handed lead off man if Goodwin struggles against left-handed pitcher.
The signing, which includes a club option in 2001, gives the Rockies 28 players in their major league camp. They have to be down to 25 by Monday's season-opener.

Final Four crop sprinkled with surprises
This weekend, dreams become a reality.
For the four teams remaining in the NCAA men's basketball tournament, this will be the biggest weekend of their lives. The players are nervous, their coaches are harried and their fans are giddy. Someone will win Monday night, but who?
It could be anyone — that's the beauty of this year's Final Four. After a upset-filled tournament, no one would be surprised with the outcome.
Wisconsin and North Carolina? Two No. 8-seeded teams that some argued shouldn't even be in the tournament. Even Florida, with 34-year-old coach Billy Donovan and youngsters, wasn't supposed to make it this far. I know I'm not the only one whose bracket is shot to hell because of these teams.
In fact, No. 1 seed Michigan State was the only team that was supposed to make it to the Final Four. People would be fools not to put money on the Tom Izzo's Spartans. Looks like they have a clear shot at the title.
Hold on a minute. I'm not going to be too quick to count out these Wisconsin Badgers. They've already knocked off four good teams — Fresno State, No. 1 seed Arizona, Louisiana State and Purdue. After Boilermaker coach Gene Keady's loss, he was quoted as saying, "you're gonna have your hands full."
That's all good, except for the fact that Michigan State has beaten the Badgers three times this year. In fact, Wisconsin's only three losses since Feb. 2 were at the hands of Michigan State. It should seem pretty clear that Mateen Cleaves and company has this team all figured out.
But being scrappy is how the Badgers have deceived teams all season. They make their offense a puzzle so no team in the tournament can piece them together. They cut, they weave and they set screens like no one has done in a long time.
I can't wait to see the game tomorrow. Next comes North Carolina against Florida. This

has potential to be the best game of the tournament. Figure in Carolina's freshman phenom Joseph Forte and Florida's group of young gunners, and it could turn into a shootout. But the question of the day will be if Carolina center Brendan Haywood will show up like he has in the four previous games. If he does, which Gator can stop him?
And what about Florida's regional MVP Mike Miller and the Gators' only senior, Kenyon Weaks? These guys move so fast on the court it makes your head spin. So who's going to win this one? If Haywood and Forte continue their dominating play, it will be the Heels in the championship. If these two don't show up big, especially Haywood, Donovan the Gators will find themselves in the national title game.
If they do, I think the Gators will beat the Spartans in the title game, 76-72. What would be cooler than for a stud like Billy Donovan and his young team to beat the overrated Mateen Cleaves and the Spartans? I think Billy Donovan could be a coach of the future, and if he wins one this year, he's in good time.
So just sit back tomorrow, grab some beers and watch basketball. You don't even have to skip class to do it this time.

Tennis team sees jump in poll
Big 12 matchups to test Jayhawks
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Despite four losses in its last five meets, the Kansas women's tennis team leaped 16 places in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll.
The Jayhawks, which were ranked No. 75 last week, now are ranked No. 56. Although they went 1-2 on their most recent road trip, the leap is a direct result of one victory, a 5-4 upset against No. 29 South Florida on March 24.
However, the computerized ranking system the association has incorporated might not give most accurate depiction of how well the team is playing.
"We're kind of aware of the rankings of the other teams, but we don't dwell on it," said junior Monica Sekulov. The Jayhawks' record now stands at 9-6 overall and 2-1 in the Big 12 Conference.
Aside from the South Florida meet
the trip went poorly for Kansas. Losses to both Maryland and Notre Dame put the Jayhawks to a mid-season slump.

Although four out of five losses might be cause for alarm, coach Jenny Garrity said that having a winning record in the league.
was reason enough not to press the panic button.
in the Hawks hope to keep their spot in the polls, they will have to finish strong in conference play, which begins this weekend against Oklahoma and Iowa State.
Neither the Cyclones nor the Sooners have managed to win a Big 12 meet, but Garrity said that both teams would be playing with nothing to lose — and that worries her.
"They are going to be very loose and are going to be ready." she said.
Oklahoma is a team that Kansas is familiar with, and the matchup has been fairly even through the years. Kansas leads the series 14-9. Last year,

Iowa State, on the other hand, has been the Jayhawks' sacrificial lamb in the all-time series. The Cyclones have managed to win only once in the last 23 meetings, which includes a 9-0 shellacking in Ames, Iowa, last year.
Despite the success Kansas has had against both opponents, Garrity said that her team would have to be ready if it wanted to beat either opponent.
Sekulov agreed that they would have to remain focused to beat both teams. She also said that every remaining game was a must-win situation.
The meet against Oklahoma will be at 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Robinson Center courts. The Iowa State meet will be 1 p.m. Sunday at the Plaza Tennis Courts in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas softball to head home for showdown against Aggies
By Rebecca Barlow
The Kansas softball team is looking forward to one thing this weekend, but it's not the doubleheader against Texas A&M. The team is looking forward to where the game will be played — at Jayhawk Field, finally.
This will be only the second home game for the 'Hawks, 18-17 overall and 0-2 in the Big 12 Conference. They have played 33 of their last 34 games on the road.
"Our friends and family don't have to travel as far to watch us play," said infielder Courtney Wright. "I feel more support."
The home field advantage makes the players very happy.
"it is going to be nice," said left fielder Christi Mussier. "We have traveled so much lately it's hard to focus. We get to sleep in our own beds and don't have to worry about anything."
Besides having the support of their fans, the 'Hawks will benefit from knowing their field so well.
I will do my best.
Musser: Says team is excited about home-field advantage
The Jayhawks will need the support of their fans to win both games against the Aggies, 20-13 and 0-3 in the Big 12. The two teams split a doubleheader last season, and the Aggies only lost one starter and one pitcher from the 41-22 team last year.
"Texas A&M will be tough competition—they are a quality team," Musser said. "But it's nothing we can't handle."
Kansas and Texas A&M both are looking for their first win in the Big 12. The Aggies lost two games to Oklahoma and were shut out by Texas.
Like Texas A&M, Kansas was blanked twice by the Longhorns, but the Hawks are looking to redeem themselves.
"We want to bounce back and at least win every home game this season." Wright said.
Conference wins are the top goal for the team, which has its eye on the Big 12 title. The teams with the best regular season record receive the top seeds at the Big 12 Tournament, May 10 to 14 in Oklahoma City. The winner of that tournament receives an automatic bid to the college World Series in Oklahoma City.
"The Big 12 is one of the best conferences in softball," Wright said. "We are all up for the challenge and ready for this season."
Tennis schedule toughens players
Kansas will play at 1 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday.
Jayhawks to roundup Sooners, Cowboys
By Brent Wasko sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The Kansas men's tennis team has already faced one of the toughest schedules in the country, and it won't let up for the squad this weekend either.
Kansas has battled through a brutal stretch in its schedule, competing against 11 nationally ranked opponents in its last 13 matches. This weekend the Jayhawks face two more ranked teams
Jayhawks face two more ranked teams — Oklahoma at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the Robinson Center tennis courts and Oklahoma State at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the Plaza Tennis Center in Kansas City, Mo.
But the trying schedule may help, not hurt, the Javahwaks.
Coach Mark Riley said the schedule would help the team prepare for its last two matches of the season against Texas A&M and Texas — matches that could be very important in the Big 12 Conference
"I think our tough schedule has helped our team play more together. It doesn't matter who we face. If we play up to our ability, we can beat any ranked team."
Alex Barragan
sophomore
"I think our tough schedule has helped our team play more together," said sophomore Alex Barragan. "It doesn't matter who we face. If we play up to our ability, we can beat any ranked team."
title race.
"We will definitely be a better team for having played a tough schedule," Riley said. "If we face ranked opponents now, we'll be ready to win those tough matches at the end of the season."
Next up on the Jayhawk's schedule is the No. 49 Oklahoma Sooners. Oklahoma will be looking to rebound from its 0-2 start in the Big 12.
Riley said Kansas always had struggled with the Sooners. The last time the Hawks met them, Oklahoma won the match 5-2. The Sooners are returning five players from that squad, including four seniors.
Oklahoma is especially strong in doubles competition, with Charlie Roberson and Rick Warren pairing up as the
nation's No. 49-ranked doubles team.
Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks' opponent on Sunday at the Plaza Tennis Center in Kansas City, Mo., also is a strong team. The Cowboys are ranked No. 75 in the country and carry a 5-4 overall record. They also are a young squad with only one junior and one senior on their roster. But both teams are tough competition for the unranked 'Hawks.'
"They are both quality teams, which are capable of heating us." Riley said. "If we can defeat both of these teams, we'll be in good shape heading into the end of the season."
Riley said that it should be an advantage for the Jayhawks to be playing at home this weekend. The Jayhawks have played five of their last seven matches on the road.
"It's going to be nice not be on the road for a while," he said. "I think the guys feel more comfortable playing here. We have to win on our own turf."
Barragan said the key to this weekend's matches should be the doubles competition. The Jayhawks have struggled to claim those points this season, and it has contributed to the team's 5-8 overall record.
"We can't afford lose the doubles point this weekend," Barragan said. "We are going to have to play well in all areas of our game if we hope to win."
Drexler steps down as coach of Houston basketball team
The Associated Press
HOUSTON Clyde Drexler quit yesterday as coach of the University of Houston basketball team, only two years after retiring from the NBA to take control at his alma mater team.
"He's been thinking about it a while," said Chet Gladchuk, Houston's athletics director. "It boiled down to his position that he's had a 20-year run in basketball as a player and the last two years as a coach and it's time he needs a break."
Drexler said he wanted to spend more time with his family, in spite of his love for basketball and his job.
with my family.
"The time away from home has been difficult," Drexler said in a statement. "Despite my enthusiasm for the job, I need to prioritize my lifestyle so that I can spend more time
"The day-to-day rigors and demands of this profession take me from them, and at this point, I want to watch my children grow."
Drexler returned to the Cougars in 1998, hoping to return the school to the basketball prominence it enjoyed during the early 1980s when he was a member of the Phi Slama Jama teams that went to the NCAA Final Four three straight years. Drexler was a member of the first two of those teams.
But in his first coaching job, he went 10-17 and 10-21 respectively.
"He jump-started some things we asked him to do," Gladchuk said, crediting Drexler with bringing alumni back to the campus and improving recruiting.
"There was no other agenda, simply that he had 20 years on the road and just wants to watch his children grow up.
"We were very competitive this past year. We've taken a giant step forward. We had a great recruiting class this year. What we've got to do now is capitalize on that ..."
Drexler played most of his 15-year pro career with the Portland Trail Blazers. He was traded to his hometown Rockets in February 1995 and was instrumental that year in leading the team to its second consecutive NBA title.
He ended his pro career after the 1998 season as one of three players in league history to get 20,000 points, 6,000 rebounds and 6,000 assists.
"He's been soul searching since the end of the season," Gladchuk said. "I thought it had stabilized. He said everybody asked how he was feeling about the job and it's been fine."
"But the issues I've mentioned have been weighing on his mind."

Captain loss small roster limit soccer
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com
Kansan writerwriter
Toughness will be the name of the game for the Kansas soccer team this weekend as it travels to the University of Illinois for a three-game tournament.
The Jayhawks will play Northern Illinois at
SOCIAL ACTION
followed by a 4 p.m.
game against
Evansville — a team
that Kansas defeated
2-1 last spring. At 10
a.m. on Sunday, the
team will face
Illinois, a Big 10 team
that was ranked as
high as No. 15 last
fall in a Soccer
America doll.
That won't be an easy task for a Kansas team that is playing with only 14 healthy players. But that's what coach Mark Francis said it would take for his team to improve.
"You try to play teams that will make you better," he said. "We want to play teams that will help us, and we're doing that. Each year we try to make our schedule tougher."
Adding to the difficulty of the trip will be a fatigue factor, said Meghann Haven, junior forward. Spring break disrupted team workouts, and players had to get back into shape quickly.
Three games in two days certainly will expedite the process.
"It's going to take a lot of mental toughness," said Colleen Colvin, junior midfielder. "With the lack of subs that we'll have, we're going to be tired so we'll need to be mentally tough enough not to make mistakes that might cost us a win."
One of the stepping stones the team has endured this spring has been the loss of team captain Katie Lents because of a fractured ankle. The team has missed Lents' presence on the field. Haven said.
But, with the loss of a captain, others have emerged from the pack.
Francis praised the efforts of Colvin, Haven and freshmen Brie Valento and Pardis Ariazand who he said had helped guide the team this season.
"They've been a good example for the others on the team from their work ethic and with what they bring to the field every day," he said.

When he's pitching he 's a Smart-bomb
Continued from page 1B
"Last year was very painful," he said. "I haven't been able to experience success before this year. I love it. But coach Kilmer has helped me — he's the best coach I've ever had."
Thirteen-year pitching coach Wilson Kilmer has turned 14 players into major league pitchers and played a key role in the Jayhawks' advance to the 1993 College World Series. Smart may be his latest success story.
"Pete showed signs last year that he had it in him," Kilmer said. "The biggest reason for his improvement is that he works hard. He took direction. He's a competitive guy that wants to do well."
Smart's desire has made him the premier pitcher at Hoglund Ballpark. And he owes it all to Kilmer.
"When I came here, I was mechanically a wreck," Smart said. "I was ugly to watch and was seven or eight miles per hour slower. Kilmer has guided me every step of the way. I used to be mentally frail, but now I gained the confidence to be able to get through it. I'm a tougher pitcher because of him."
And he is — just look at the numbers. Smart already has matched the 36 K's he had in

20 appearances last season. Although he currently holds a 5-4 record, his five wins are more than any Jayhawk pitcher had last season.
At the beginning of the season, Smart said he wanted to be the best pitcher in the Big 12. In a conference filled with pitching talent, that may be a tall task. But he's not discouraged.
"Am I No. 1? No, Am I in the top three or four? Probably not," said Smart, who also is one of three team captains.
"But if I string together six more wins, I have a chance. I'd rather just have a team that is fourth or fifth in the league. I'm not a rah-rah guy, but I come in and work hard."
All of his hard work could pay off if he gets the opportunity to play professional ball when he graduates this May. But if that plan falls through. Smart has his eye on loftier positions.
Brothers Gremminger to battle in 'Hawk-Aggie game
"If not pro ball, I'll be president of the United States and save the world," he said.

"But it's not because of lack of effort. When you have high expectations, you overtry early. He had a slow start but he's rolling now. It gives the team a big boost."
winning streak. Kansas was swept last year in its series with Texas A&M, and the Aggies hold a 22-5 all-time record against the Hawks.
Yet Randall remains optimistic.
And the 'Hawks will need Gremminger's offensive boost to win against the Aggies, who are in second place in the Big 12 and on a six-game
Yet kandani remains optimistic.
"Every weekend is a big weekend, every game is a big game," he said. "I like our chances. I think we can win the first game, but we need to win the series. We haven't played a weekend series where we've played well in pitching,
offense and defense."
And the results reflect Kansas' inconsistencies. In each of the 'Hawks four big 12 series — Iowa State, Texas, Oklahoma State and Missouri — Kansas has won the first game but dropped the second game. But the 'Hawks possess a 1-7 record in the later games of the series. But that doesn't mean Jesse Gremminger will give his brother any slack — he wants a Kansas victory.
"I want us both to do equally well," he said. "We caught A&M at a bad time. If we would have played them earlier, it might have been easier. It will be interesting."
Tomorrow's game will begin at 2 p.m. while Sunday's is set to start at 1 p.m. Kansas Baseball Notes
Wednesday's rained-out game has been rescheduled for April 25. But instead of playing Westminster, the Hawks will face Washburn at 6 p.m.
