University to double hourly parking fees
By BriAnne Hess

Stop saving quarters for laundry.
There's a new toll in town.
Hourly metered parking fees at the University of Kansas will double to $1 an hour at long-term parking meters Aug. 1, said Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking. Short-term meter fees will remain at 50 cents an hour.
Hultine said the board would take out half of the existing metered parking, but would increase spaces for student parking. Students who park in the garage instead of buying yellow parking permits would be affected, she said.
"I think we have a lot of students who use the garage because it's easy to get in and out and they were willing to spend 50 cents an hour and avoid the hunt for a parking spot." Hultine said.
Long-term metered parking will still be available south of Robinson Center and in the two parking garages.
The long-term meters will be removed from lots 91 through 94 south of Memorial Stadium and the spaces will be opened up for student permit parking.
Sara Baker, Lawrence sophomore, said she usually parked in yellow permit parking, but sometimes metered parking was the best option. When the prices rise in August, however, Baker said she wouldn't be willing to pay that much money for parking.
Hultine said she hoped that the parking congestion would be relieved in north campus since the parking garage would provide 500 metered parking spots, 300 spaces for permit holders and
Parking changes
The University is adding new student parking to increase the overall number of spaces and to also prepare for changes brought on by the new parking garage.
Boutyrayade
In lot 90, at the intersection of 18th Street and Naismith Boulevard, metered parking spaces will be converted and
open to yellow permit holders,
adding 158 parking spaces.
Oread Ave.
Metered parking spaces will be removed from lots 91-94,
near Memorial Stadium, and
lots and meters across from
the Kansas Union.
17 spaces for handicapped-permit holders.
"It should take a load off of the yellow lot." she said.
The new higher cost of metered parking on campus will be nearly double the cost of parking at meters in downtown Lawrence. People now spend 25 cents for an hour and a half of parking.

"Even if they decide to double them, they are still pretty reasonable and below other cities in the area," Bell said.
Sergeant Doug Bell, community services director and parking control supervisor, said the city commission might increase parking fees downtown.
More than a thousand additional parking spaces will be available this fall, including 818 spaces in the new parking garage, 98 spaces at J.R. Pearson Hall and 158 spaces in lot 90, south of Robinson.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway rejected proposals to increase the cost of parking permits to honor the promise he made in 1998 to not raise permit prices for three years.
New permit categories for visitors, part-time student and staff members and those with special scheduling or medical permits will also be issued.

City aims to crash party houses
Commissioners approve draft to punish habitual offenders
Kansan staff writers
By Phil Cauthon and Karen Lucas
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff write
Party houses and underage drinking are the targets of two laws being drafted by the Lawrence City Commission this summer.
Last night commissioners approved the draft of a law which - if passed in the coming months
- would allow police to force the eviction of tenants in habitual party houses and to shut off the utilities at such nuisance residences.
Another proposed law would require retailers to trace keg sales with a customer file and keg ID tags in an effort to discourage buyers from allowing minors access to beer. But that proposal was put on hold until city officials tailor the law to address several public objections voiced at last night's meeting.
"Obviously neighborhoods are negatively impacted when the house next door is essentially an open saloon," said Commissioner Erv Hodges. "For those houses that every year have weekly parties that last until 3 or 4 in the morning, we need some way to hold those people responsible."
If the owners and tenants failed to meet with city officials or if the nuisance persisted after the meeting, police could evict the tenants and block utility service to the property.
Lawrence Director of Legal Services, David Corliss, said the proposal would essentially enforce what happens now informally, giving the city a legal remedy for owners who tolerate disorderly tenants.
The proposed restrictions on party houses — property on which city alcohol, noise and others laws are habitually violated — would require such a house's owners and tenants to meet with city officials to find a way to end the nuisance.
The keg registration proposal is also intended to curb large parties, but by discouraging a party's host from allowing underage drinkers access to kegs.
As currently drafted, the law would require keg-selling retailers to maintain a file that lists each keg's ID number with the customers who have used the keg during the previous six months. Each store's file will hold signatures from keg-buying customers acknowledging that they will be held liable for minors drinking from the keg.
The penalty for violating the law would be a minimum $250 fine and up to six months in jail.
BATTLING UNDERAGE DRINKING
The Lawrence City Commission is considering laws to crack down on so-called "party houses" and to track key purchases. The laws under consideration are still in draft form.
A party house is—a property on which two or more nuisance offences have occurred during the past year. Those offenses include:
■ a disarrayly conduct citation
a minor in possession, open container or any other violation of Chapter 4 of the city code and/or
any felony or misdemeanor
- Tenants of a party house could face having their utilities shut off or eviction.
- Keg registration would require stores to keep customer records for six months, including:
- Tampering with the keg's ID tag could result in loss of the purchase deposit. Not abiding by key registration rules would carry a minimum $250 fine and/or up to six months in jail.
- a signed receipt acknowledging the keg purchase and certain liabilities, such as for allowing a minor to drink from the keg.
- the customer's name and the ID number of the kea purchased and
Tampering with the keg's ID tag would result in forfeiture of the sale's deposit.
But the proposal ran into stiff opposition from state and local beverage dealers who said the law was too vague.
"We appreciate this idea, but it has real problems," said Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St., echoing many retailers' concerns. "The only penalties are likely to be against (liquor) license holders."
n that it could potentially send employees to jail for a clerical error if a retailer's records were found to be inaccurate.
n that customers serving alcohol to minors would simply remove the ID tag and steal the key rather than risk the larger fine and jall time.
The party house proposal will face formal public hearings in the coming weeks before commissioners can vote the final legislation.
Among the faults some retailers and distributors found with the proposal were:
n that retailers would have too much power and responsibility in the application of the keg registration law.
A revised keg registration draft proposal may be considered at next week's meeting.

University's geological group helps Kansas Kickapoo find scarce water
The State of Kansas Geological Survey is lending a hand this week to a local Kickapoo tribe, which could soon be in desperate need of water if the spring's drought continues into the summer.
By Karen Lucas
About 10 workers from the survey — which is operated by the University of Kansas — began its search Monday for underground water sources below the Brown County reservation in northeastern Kansas.
Kansan staff writer
Rex Buchanan, the survey's associate director for public outreach, said the Delaware River — where the tribe gets it water from — was low because of the drought and the increased demand for water caused by the reservation's casino.
"We have a fair amount of expertise in terms of water issues in the state," said Buchanan, whose team joined the Kickapoo's search for water on request from the state's Bureau of Water.
"We looked at various maps and water well records to try to come up with areas that would have the most potential for water," he said.
Armed with drilling and measuring equipment, survey crews spent Monday afternoon studying underground material at several sites on the reservation. This preliminary work will help the geologists decide where to dig test wells later in the week.

After that, they will share their findings with the tribe, Buchanan said.
"If they decide to put in permanent wells, then they can do it at that point." he said.
Alysse Lanier was part of a survey team that used a machine called a Geoprobe to analyze the soil in a field near Kansas Highway 20.
"It's going to let us know where clay and sand are below the ground here," said Lanier, a summer intern from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. "Sand would be the place where you would want to put a well."
Other workers began sampling underground material by digging holes with two drill rigs in other areas of the reservation.
Buchanan said the project was also a good experience for

the students, who make up about half the crew.
"The nice thing about this work is that it provides a practical application of what they're learning in the classroom," he said.
The tribe welcomed the arrival of the crew.
"We're grateful for their assistance because they're attempting to assist all residents on the reservation in obtaining additional water," said Nancy Bear, acting vice chairperson for the tribe.

City approves proposal to restrict sex shops
Sex shops in Lawrence could face new restrictions or be forced to relocate if an ordinance under consideration by the City Commission is approved next month.
Under the proposal, stores with 40 percent or more of their merchandise devoted to sexually orientated gadgets and accessories, videos, magazines and clothing will have to be licensed by the city.
Those same stores will have to be located in commercial zones along state highways and at least 500 feet from churches and schools, 50 feet from residential property and 600 feet from another such shop.
Stores containing between 10 percent and 40 percent of sexually orientated merchandise will have to block child access to it with an opaque wall
Stores under the 10 percent mark will face no restrictions under the proposal.
If the proposal becomes law, existing shops — such as Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., and Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St. — will have five years to comply with the regulations.
The Commission approved a draft proposal of the law last Wednesday.
Police hunt for key witness in Burge Union shooting
Police are searching for the former KU football player who was shot at a
fraternity party in January after he failed to show up to testify at the Mav 25 trial of his assailant.
Gregory J. Davis, Denver senior, was shot in the hip at a Jan. 23 party in the Burge Union and testified at preliminary hearings in March against the accused Bvron Kirtdall. 22. Topeka
Days before the trial, police and Douglas County District Attorney Christine Kenney Tonkovich lost contact with Davis — their key witness in the case against Kirtdoll.
Tonkovich said Davis was believed to have left the state and that foul play was not suspected.
The charges against Kirtdoll have been dropped until Davis is located.
Discovery of peepholes prompts 14 tenant lawsuits
Fourteen more lawsuits were filed against the owners of a south Lawrence apartment complex late last month by tenants who found peepholes drilled in their bathroom and bedroom walls.
There are now 21 lawsuits alleging breach of landlord-tenant laws due to the peepholes at Parkway Terrace Apartments, a five-building complex at the 2300 block of Murphy Drive.
The previous suits alleged that coworer Mary Lemosy drilled the holes and viewed tenants from closets. Those suits also alleged that coworer Mary Lemosy knew what her husband was doing.
The Lemesanys declined to comment on the lawsuits.

Douglas County District Attorney Christine Kenney Tonkovich said that no criminal charges have been filed in connection with the peephole allegations.
Kansas Union to raise food prices this summer
The Kansas Union will have a surprise for returning students in the form of higher food prices. Customers of Union food services can expect a two to three percent increase on some food items, said Food Services Manager Jay Glatz.
"The small incremental increases are due to a rise in vendor costs and the rate of inflation," Glatz said, "For a $3 item, the increase will be about 10 cents."
Glatz said this would be the first price increase in the last 18 months. Changes in pricing are usually made between semesters.
"It's not fair to raise prices during the semester," Glatz said, "On the whole, we try to keep our prices comparable to local convenience stores."
The price increases are within the normal range of inflation and rising labor costs, Glatz said. The move is being made to stay competitive.
"People need to compare apples to apples," Glatz said, "You can get something to eat at the store for the same price, but we also provide a napkin, spoon and a place to sit."

Poster may prompt ACLU lawsuit
Group may challenge "In God We Trust" on Topeka courthouse wall
The Associated Press
"At this point, it's very likely," said Lisa Nathanson, legal director of the ACLU's Kansas and western Missouri chapter, located in Kansas City, Mo.
TOPEKA — A representative of the American Civil Liberties Union said Tuesday that the ACLI probably will file a lawsuit over posters with the motto "In God We Trust" in offices of the Shawnee County treasurer.
Nathanson said the ACLU probably will file the lawsuit by the end of the month.
Nathanson met Monday in Topeka with Shawnee county Counselor Rich Eckert and Shawnee County Treasurer Rita Cline.
Nathanson said she asked Cline to remove the posters from Cline's courthouse office and a motor vehicle annex office at a local shopping mall.
She also said she asked Cline to publicly agree to stop promoting her religious beliefs and to apologize to Mary Lou Schmidt, a Topea woman who filed a complaint with the ACLU.
"The poster is merely a symptom of what we believe can be characterized only as dissemination of her Christian beliefs," Nathanson said.
Nathanson said the posters were only part of the problem. She also took issue with some of Cline's statements, including those made in a terse letter from Cline to Schmidt.
In that letter, Cline questioned Schmidt's patriotism and religious beliefs.
"That poster is more than appropriate," Cline said. "I am required and mandated to collect money. That is on all of our currency. The ACLU has run into one elected official that is not afraid of them."
On Monday, Cline defended her decision to keep the posters.
"That poster is more than appropriate...The ACLU has run into one elected official that is not afraid of them."
Rita Cline
Shawnee County Treasurer
"Rita Cline, as an elected official, is doing what she thinks is right," he said. "She doesn't carry the endorsement of the Board of County Commissioners."
Eckert said Shawnee County taxpayers wouldn't foot the bill for any legal action.
Schmidt called Cline in April to request that the poster be removed from the motor vehicle annex office. A complaint was filed after Cline refused to remove the poster and a similar one at her courthouse office.

Cafe and antiques mix to create old-world aura
By Karen Lucas
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
KU students now can enjoy a cup of coffee and a sandwich while surrounded by antiques in downtown Lawrence.
Aimee's Cafe and Coffeehouse, 1025A Massachusetts St., opened in late April in the same building as Strong's Antiques.
"We started this on a half a shoe string," said Cary Strong, owner of Aimee's Cafe And Coffeehouse. "It was about as low as you could get."
With the help friends, Strong made the cafe's wood and tile bar and cabinets, which resemble
antiques. The cafe's small round tables and matching chairs are reproductions that Strong said he bought at a low price.
Not only does Aimee's have an antique look, but it's accessible through the antique store, which is owned by Strong's father. Antiques also are on display in the cafe.
Strong runs the cafe by himself for the most part. Sometimes his girlfriend, Aimee Heinold, for whom he named the cafe, waits on customers when she is not working as a flight attendant for Vanguard Airlines.
"It's kind of like chocolate silk in your mouth," he said. "It's real smooth."
In addition to coffee and espresso drinks, customers can order a soda or an egg cream, which Strong said was a popular drink on the East Coast.
Aimee's also serves pastries, soups, salads and sandwiches made on hollowed-out Italian rolls.
Strong said his lunch-time customers had brought him the most business so far.
Dave Boulter, owner of the coffee shop Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St., said he welcomed the new cafe.
"I'd like to get more of a morning crowd, more coffee drinkers on their way to work," he said.
"Any business that comes in down here will help everyone," he said. "Fill every space is my view. I think everybody has a niche."
Lindsay Rome, Holcomb junior,
visited Aimee's for the first time
during spring final exams. After
ordering a latte, she settled down
at a table and began studying.
"I hope I get a lot done here today," she said.
Strong said he welcomed students who used his cafe as a place to study.
"I think it adds something to the atmosphere," he said. "That's part of what owning a coffee shop is about. I think the more people you have in here, the more appealing it looks."
Alimee's is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m on Saturday. Strong said he hoped to expand the cafe's hours in August.

Filmmakers still turn to Shakespeare
LOS ANGELES — Call him thor-
oughly modern Willie.
Shakespeare's in cinemas again,
with two new movies continuing a
trend that tweaks, updates and
dusts off his aura for today's masses.
A gutsy "Hamlet" hit theaters last month starring Ethan Hawke as a sullen cyberprince in contemporary Manhattan, with a multimedia conglomerate standing in for feudal Denmark.
On Friday, Kenneth Branagh's latest go at the Bard opens, a musical version of "Love's Labour's Lost" set at the start of World War II and using tunes from Gershwish, Kern, Porter and Berlin to augment the affections of four young couples.
Purists may scoff at such changes, but in his time Shakespeare was a popular entertainer playing largely to audiences of commoners. Treating the plays too reverentially can make them as brittle as pages in an antique book, says Hawke.
"If you have a real love for Shakespeare, you want to see it done as a living art form and not just put in some box where it's to be opened after yougenfect," he said.
Branagh said he substituted songs for some dialogue because it seemed words were not always
enough to convey the lovers' rush of emotions. And what better tunes to capture Shakespearean romantic sentiments than "I Get a Kick Out of You." "Cheek to Cheek" and "I've Got a Crush on You?"
"Singing in the throes of ecstatic passion is very Shakespearean," said Branagh, who directed and starred in "Love's Labour's Lost," his fourth Shakespeare adaptation for film.
"All through Shakespeare's work he refers to singing and dancing. A lyric by Cole Porter or Irving Berlin or songs by the Gershwins are witty today much the way Shakespeare was witty in his own time. Shakespeare and Cole Porter both enjoy clever rhymes and neat little linguistic tricks."
Shakespeare's cinematic history dates to the early years of film, with silent takes on "Othello," "Twelfth Night," "The Merchant of Venice" and others. Masterful adaptations were later crafted by Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles and Franco Zaffirelli.
Filmmakers often have played fast and loose with the plays' geography and times. Akira Kurosawa set "MacBeth" ("Throne of Blood") and "King Lear" ("Ran") in ancient Japan. Ian McKellen starred in a latter-day Fascist exploration of "Richard III." "Tempest" in 1982
starred John Cassavetes as a Manhattanite self-exiled to a Greek island, and featured Raul Julia as the savage Kalibanos hitting on pubescent Molly Ringwale with the line. "I got TV in my cave."
Most notable in modernized Shakespeare may be "West Side Story," the musical tale of the antagonistic Sharks and Jets; the movie was adapted from the stage production based on "Romeo and Juliet."
Even Jet Li's martial arts flick "Romeo Must Die," released this spring, updates the Montagues and Capulets to a gang rivalry between blacks and Asians in Oakland.
It was Branagh's "Henry V," in 1989, that set off the Shakespeare renaissance that continues today. Branagh and Mel Gibson both did "Hamlets," Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes entered an ultrahip "Romeo + Juliet" for the MTV age, and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" jumped to the late 1800s, with Michelle Pfeiffer, Kevin Kline and newfangled contraptions called bicycles.
"Shakespeare in Love," the best-picture Oscar winner for 1998, transformed the playwright's life into a bawdy audience-pleaser.
Such revisions aim to revitalize Shakespeare for modern moviegoers.

Bradley casts vote for Gore
The Associated Press
MONTCLAIR, N.J. — Two months after dropping out of the presidential race — and out of sight — Bill Bradley quietly cast his vote yesterday for former Al Gore and said he will resume a public role campaigning for Democrats this year.
Bradley said he was negotiating with Gore officials about his role at the Democratic National Convention in August but has not decided what instructions to give his 412 delegates.
"We're in the midst of very productive discussions with the Gore campaign, so I'll leave it at that," Bradley said in a brief interview with The Associated Press after voting in the New Jersey primary in his hometown.
He said he would actively campaign for Democrats this year, including Gore.
To date, Bradley has resisted the Gore camp's eagerness to schedule a joint appearance of the former rivals. Bradley aides said such a campaign event was in the works — and certain to happen before the convention — but not imminent.
Bradley, who did not win a single state in his challenge to Gore, could have expected a victory in New Jersey, the state he served in the U.S. Senate for 18 years.
But he dropped out of the race March 9, two months before the Garden State's primary, and yesterday's ballot offered Democratic voters only one alternative to Gore: Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr., who has run for the Democratic nomination in every presidential election since 1976.
Bradley said he pulled the lever for Gore.
When the former senator dropped out of the race, he said he would support Gore's bid for the White House despite believing Gore has a campaign of "distortions and negativity."
Asked that day whether that meant he was endorsing Gore, Bradley said, "It's your call." Adviser Anita Dunn told reporters the distinction was semantic, not political, because Bradley believes "you support people and you endorse checks."
Since then, Bradley has made no public appearances or public comment on the presidential
race.
The Republican National Committee has tried to use that against Gore, keeping a running count of the number of days "since Bill Bradley refused to endorse Gore March 9th."
Bradley said yesterday he did not believe there was a need for another statement of his backing for Gore.
"I said I'd give him my full support, and that's what I will do," Bradley said.
He said he has spent the past two months "traveling, talking to people, writing, thinking things through." He is also writing a book but declined to describe the topic.
He has caught up on his movie watching, saying a recent favorite was *East-West*, the French film that received an Oscar nomination for best foreign-language picture.
Bradley has sent letters to longtime supporters asking them for a new infusion of money for his political action committee, Time Future Inc. Bradley formed the PAC after leaving the Senate in 1997 and used it in subsequent elections to support Democratic congressional candidates.
"It just gives us flexibility to campaign this fall," he said, "and it gives flexibility to anything else I do politically."
Friends say they do not know if Bradley has decided on a future course in politics — pushing for a Cabinet position should Gore win, for instance, or planning another presidential run should Gore lose.
"He's 56," said Eric Hauser, Bradley's campaign spokesman. "He's got a long time ahead of him. He's taking a look at what all hisOptions might be."
Some voters were disappointed that his name was not on the ballot.
"I would have loved to have seen Bradley for president," said Sari Kramer, a clinical psychologist. "I worked for him, my daughter worked for him. But I guess the country's not really ready for true moral leadership. We still want a politician. We don't want a thoughtful intellectual — yet."
Race for 3rd district seats heat up
Phill Kline files for district GOP nomination in Aug.1 primary
TOPEKA — State Rep. Phill Kline filed Monday for the Republican nomination in the 3rd Congressional District and accused his two GOP opponents of being too much like Democratic U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore.
Associated Press
Kline, of Shawne, faces Gary Morsch, an Olathe physician, and Greg Musil, president of the Overland Park City Council, in the Aug. 1 Republican primary. Kline paid a $1,367 fee in the secretary of state's office to guarantee a spot on the ballot.
Their three-way campaign has been underway for weeks. Musil already has filed
Kline said his eight years in the state House of Representatives make him the only Republican candidate with a record of legislative accomplishment.
"Morsch, Musil and Moore are all singing the same tune," Kline said.
As expected, Kline's comments were disputed by both Morsch and Musil.
Morsch, the founder of a nonprofit charitable group, Heart to Heart International, said he has incredible experience that the country needs and has the same values that the 3rd District holds dear.
"I can understand why Phil Kline would like to lump me in with the other candidates," he said. "The problem is that it's just not true."
David Schlosser, Musil's campaign manager, said Kline and Morsch are ideological clones in their opposition to abortion, and
"Phill can make all the grand claims he wants, but he's still not talking about the issues of most importance to primary voters in the 3rd District."

Kline's remarks show his sheer terror.
"Phill can make all the grand clamms he wants, but he's still not talking about the issues of most importance to primary voters in the 3rd District," Schlosser said.
Dennis Moore seeks re-election sans labor
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE — U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore kicked off his re-election campaign without the support of one of labor's national leading organizations.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters pulled its endorsement of Moore because the Democratic congressman voted in favor of a bill that would make trade relations between China and the United States normal. Labor unions oppose the legislation.
"We feel taken for granted. We brought Dennis Moore to the promised land. We brought a lot of people to the promised land, and they left us."
Chuck Harple
Moore didn't mention the vote during a speech Monday to about 50 supporters outside the Memorial Union at the University of Kansas. He emphasized issues such as protecting the federal Medicare and Social Security programs and reforming campaign finance laws.
National political director for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters
His aides said local Teamsters still support Moore, and the congressman noted that he was invited to attend an area Teamsters meeting Saturday.
It's a pitch he was expected to make. Registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats by nearly 59,000 in the 3rd District,
Moore said he is disappointed that he lost the endorsement of the national Teamsters leaders but said he tried to do what he thought was right, and was confident he did.
Moore, 54, is seeking his second term representing the 3rd Congressional District. During four rallies, he portrayed himself as someone who can work with Republicans on common-sense proposals.
and Moore was the first Democrat to win the seat in 36 years.
In the past, Republicans have made much of Moore's support from labor unions. In voting for normal trade relations with China, Moore stood with business groups instead
He unseated conservative Republican U.S. Rep. Vince Snowbarger in 1998, profiting from a split in the GOP.
The Teamsters are the largest union in the 3rd District. Along with campaign dollars, their phone banking and other grass-roots efforts were important to Moore's election in 1998.
"No get out-the vote, no resources. He's gone from the first tier to. We hope he wins, good luck," said Chuck Harple, the union's national political director. "We feel taken for granted. We brought Dennis Moore to the promised land. We brought a lot of people to the promised land, and they left us."
PETER PARKER
Whether the area's second-biggest union, the United Auto Workers, will follow suit remains to be seen. Nick Robinson, the St. Louis-based regional political director, said Moore definitely will not get UAW
political contributions.
As for grass-roots help, Robinson said. "We're leaving that open right now."
Local union officials may not be as hard on Moore.
The president of the Kansas City area Teamsters didn't immediately return phone calls to The Associated Press, but Wayne Maichel, executive secretary of the Kansas AFL-CIO, said Moore "still looks pretty good" compared to the rest of Kansas' congressional delegation, all Republicans.
"Are working families in Dennis Moore's district better off with him, with an AFL-CIO rating of 70 percent, or were they better off with Vince Snowbarger, with zero?" Maichel said.
And Republicans aren't likely to soften attacks on Moore based on his labor support.
Three Republicans are seeking the GOP nomination to challenge Moore: state Rep. Phill Kline, of Shawnee; Gary Morsch, an Olathe physician; and Greg Musil, an attorney and Overland Park City Council president.

In a statement Monday, Musil
cited the relatively high ratings Moore has received from the National Education Association, environmental groups and the AFL-CIO. He called Moore's record "radically inconsistent" with the values of 3rd District residents.
Kline said that, the China vote not withstanding, Moore is "owned" by Democratic leaders. He noted that President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore supported the China bill.

Police continue search for bodies
The Associated Press
HARRISONVILLE. Mo.
HARRISONVILLE, Mo.
Remains of five bodies have been found in barrels in connection with a man who allegedly used the name "slavemaster" to develop online relationships with women, authorities said today.
The first two bodies were found in barrels buried on John E. Robinson Sr.'s property Saturday in a field in La Cygne, about 50 miles south of Kansas City, Mo.
Three other 55-gallon drums were
discovered Monday at a rental storage locker about 30 miles away in Cass County, Mo., southeast of Kansas City. Authorities confirmed today that bodies were found inside.
Robinson, 56, appeared in court Monday on charges he sexually assaulted two other women at suburban Kansas City hotels. Those women survived. Bond was raised to $5 million at that time.
The discoveries of bodies followed a three-month missing persons investigation.
In Kansas, Linn County Sheriff Marvin Stites said about 20 investigators — including some from the FBI and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation — would continue to search Robinson's property.
Crews were expected to drain a pond on Robinson's property later today.
"We may find more bodies, but we certainly hope not," Stitses said. The two women Robinson is accused of assaulting told police they voluntarily agreed this spring to act as sex slaves for Robinson.
who prosecutors said used the screen name "slavemaster" in his computer correspondence.
But they said he brutalized them in a way that went beyond what they intended. One also said that Robinson stole more than $700 worth of whips, paddles and other sex toys from her.
One surviving woman, authorities said, traveled from Texas for the sexual encounter in April. The other met with him in May. Her residence was unknown.
Web site gives nonfarmers insight into harvest
Crop expert uses Internet to teach farm techniques
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN—Nonfarmers see what fields turning from green to gold and think of loaves of bread, filling the shelves of the local supermarket.
Farmers see long hours of tilling, planting, and maintenance, worrying about everything from rainfall to pests.
But a new program uses the Internet to show just what goes into raising a crop, from plowing to harvest.
The program, called "Adopt A Wheat Field," is offered through the Kansas State University Research and Extension Department's Web site: www.oznet.ksue.edu/pr-awf/.
Extension Crops Specialist Jim Shroyer is in charge of monitoring a seed-production wheat field on the Agronomy Farm north of Manhattan. He periodically takes pictures of the field, then describes in a diary format what the pictures show.
"It's really been a learning experience for me."
he said. "I'm able to watch a meter or yard of row, and I set to watch very closely."
Shroyer's target audience is children, but he said he has received as much or more response from adults who visited the Web site.
The first entry on the Web site is Aug. 17, as a farmer used a tractor to pull a chisel and fertilizer tank. The chisel turned the soil and destroys weeds. Shrover said.
Also in that day's entry, he explained the process of applying liquid nitrogen fertilizer and liquid phosphorus at the same time.
"The scientific jargon is not in the mainstay of the English language," Shroyer said. "I tried to use a blend of the botanical and agronomical, I try to write like I talk. To keep people interested, they have to feel like they know where you're coming from and where you're going."
In the latest entry, posted May 31, Shroyer discusses the recent hot windy weather and how 100-degree weather is too hot for wheat.
Wheat is a cool season plant, he said, and prefers temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s.
"Almost all of the flag leaves have died or the ones left have leaf rust on them, so they won't last long with this heat," he wrote. "Looking at some head heads in our row, you can see quite a range of maturity. Some heads still have a lot
"The doughy substance is the starch that is in the kernel's endosperm. We are on the downhill side of the grain filling period, so it won't be long until harvest."

of green color in them, while others are becoming more bronze."
The field also contained evidence of Barley Yellow Dwarf, a disease that causes the heads to darken and the kernels to shrivel.
In addition to the overall condition of the field, Shroyer discussed the status of the kernels. Inside, the kernels contain a soft, wet, mealy substance.
"The doughy substance is the starch that is in the kernel's endosperm," he wrote. "We are on the downhill side of the grain filling period, so it won't be long until harvest."

"It's probably no more problematic than someone who gets out and makes $22,000 and their employer doesn't offer health insurance,"
Some students decide to neglect emergency treatment
Bailey said he understood the dilemma but saw other problems for 20-sometimes.
Kris Graves, Lawrence graduate student, got food poisoning last month. He refused to go to the emergency room. He couldn't afford it.
"The idea is that, when you become an adult, you get dropped off your dad's car insurance, your parents' health insurance," he said. "It is a practice that goes on in the industry, but I can see how it could cause some problems."
In fact, an average emergency room bill from Lawrence Memorial exceeds Grave's prediction. About $300 is charged for the doctor alone, $100 for the facility and maybe $75 for medicine.
Graham Bailey, public relations director for Blue Cross-Blue Shield in Topeka, said his company usually dropped coverage when students turned 24 or got married.
Graves, who was dropped from his parents' insurance on his 24th birthday, thought the emergency room visit would have cost $400 — which is $400 the part-time hotel bellman didn't have.
"I was sick for four days," he said. "It was horrible. I was throwing up every four hours. My girlfriend called Poison Control and helped me out, but I'm sure the ER would have been better."
A representative in the hospital accounting office said payment plans could be arranged. Patients can spread their total bills over six monthly payments, she said. For the bill above, that would be about $75 each month.

The University of Kansas offers its own plan. For
students younger than 25, the yearly rate is $480, which averages out to $45 each month. Students age 25 and older pay $856, or $73 each month
Pre-existing conditions, like Oliver's, require a 12-month waiting period before insurance will pay for anv treatment.
through G-M Underwriters.
"That plan wouldn't do me any good at all," she said. "That's fifty bucks a month I just don't have. Especially if it's not helping me."
After some significant lobby efforts, the Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition secured a health plan for University teaching assistants for the 1999-2000 academic year. The policy is underwritten by Gerber Life Insurance Policy. To be eligible, students must be in a half-time graduate teaching or graduate research position.
Both plans waive deductible fees if the stu
Because teaching assistants are employees, the university pays part of the monthly insurance fee. A teaching assistant 25 or younger will pay $19.40 each month for the comprehensive plan and $7.25 each month for the basic plan. The plan would cost a GTA between 26 and 30 years of age $27.30 for the comprehensive plan and $10.17 each month for the basic.
Oliver isn't a graduate student, and Graves doesn't work as a teaching or research assistant, so neither qualifies for the lower rates.
tant, so neither quaines for the lower rates. But Bailey acknowledged that with student loans and low income, even plans like the University's can be too pricey.
"There's a window in your 20s, I remember being there, where you're losing your youth," Bailey said. "With that comes a whole new world and some whole new responsibilities. Sometimes you're not ready to meet those responsibilities."
Oliver's not. Her livelihood comes from wages earned at a part-time job at the School of Social Welfare and one night each week at The Jazhaus, 926-1/2 Massachusetts St.
This semester, the illness and the stress it brings with it also has cost her a 4.0 grade point average. She's looking at getting the first two B's of her college career.
She says the pain, a dull pain radiating from her lower abdomen, goes on all the time. On a scale of one to 10, with one being a papercut and 10 being sawed in half, she said it averaged a seven.
She might not be able to have children.
She's trying hard now to wean herself off medication.
They haven't confirmed it yet, but doctors think Oliver has endometriosis, a disease occurring where the uterus lining grows outside the uterus. The growth can suffocate the organs around the uterus, like the ovaries or fallopian tubes.
"No one can know what it's like to live with chronic pain until they do it," she said. "It affects your entire being. You don't like to do anything. Your relationships suffer. It just takes over your life."
The usual treatment for endometriosis is a combination of med
ication and surgery. In severe cases, doctors may perform a "radical." surgery — removal of the uterus and both ovaries.
Oliver tries not to think about the worst-case scenarios. She has bills to pay — about $8,000 of them, and most are due on July 1.
Oliver said her doctor's office has threatened to turn her into a collection agency if she doesn't make that deadline.
"I thought if you made a conscientious effort to pay and showed them
what you made, they wouldn't turn you in. But they will," she said.
She tried to get help through Social Rehabilitation Services. SRS could have helped her if she was poor or pregnant, she said, but for a middle-class college student, there is no help.
"There should be help out there for people who are trying to better themselves, trying to do something with their lives," she said. "I'm being punished for not being pregnant."
The best solution, she said, would be for insurance companies to extend coverage for students until they graduate.
Bailey doesn't think that will happen, though.
The cutoff used to be younger than id. "There's just a threshold age. There ways has been. There probably always will."

BOWTIE WORK

Kansan co-editor
It's strange, says Jim Brothers, but he knows he's got it right when his work makes people cry.
Brothers, a Lawrence sculptor, was commissioned to make 10 bronze figures for the National D-Dav Memorial in Bedford. Va.
He said he had seen veterans cry when they looked at the sculptures that were already in place at the unfinished memorial.
tures will depict invasion scenes.
Brothers' assistant, Ken Wheatley, said his mother cried when she saw one of the sculptures called "Across the Beach." She lost a brother in the fighting in Normandy after D-Day.
Brothers said he felt obligated to D-Day veterans to get it right. He's brought pieces of second world war U.S. Army military equipment to his Lawrence studio to use as models. And he's spent a lot of time with D-Day veterans.
But it was not until 1996 that a national D-Day memorial was planned.
Fifty-six years and one day ago, Allied Forces invaded German-occupied Normandy. By the end of June 6, 1944, 6,603 Americans and 3,000 Allies were dead, but Allied Forces had a firm foothold in France, and the defeat of Nazi Germany had begun. It was not until 1986 that a national
"We've researched enough with the veterans that we are like channelers for them," he said. "You want to get it right not just for yourself, but for them. These people are my heroes. You want to get it right for them. They come up, shake my hand, and say I've got it. That's one of the rewards of the job."
Richard Burrow, president of the National D-Day Memorial Foundation, said the memorial was authorized by Congress in 1996. Fundraising started in 1997. Since then, the foundation has raised $12.2 million. Construction has begun and dedication of the memorial is scheduled for June 6, 2001.
The memorial will include a 44-foot, six-inch granite-covered arch on a plaza surrounded by the flags of the 12 Allied nations. Burrows said. Brothers' sculp-
Brothers said "Across the Beach" was placed temporarily at the entrance to the monument, where it is framed by the arch. Brothers said it works so well that it might be kept there permanently, so he could end up doing additional figures for the memorial.
“Across the Beach,” which depicts a soldier dragging a wounded man out of the line of fire, and “Dethn on Shore,” which portrays a dead soldier on the beach, are done.
Brothers is working in his Lawrence studio on a composition called "The Wall" that will depict four soldiers scaling a wall. He said it would be the centerpiece of the monument.
Four seven-and-a-half foot figures made of metal skeletons and foam bodies covered with green clay fill Brothers' Lawrence studio. One is carrying a Tommy gun and throwing a leg over the top of the wall. Another is falling. The third man pulls the fourth up the wall.
The piece is based on U.S. Army Rangers'
assault up sheer cliffs at Pointe-du-Hoc on D-Day.
Brothers said one of the inspirations for the piece was August Rodin's "Gates of Hell."
"If there ever was a gate of hell, it was that day," Brothers said. "Pointe-du-Hoc was considered a suicide mission."
Three-quarters of the 200 men of the 2nd Ranger Battalion were killed or wounded in the assault, according to historian Stephen Ambrose's book, *D-Day*.
Other units had heavier losses on D-Da The A Company of the 116th Regiment lost more than 90 percent of its men at Omaha Beach, the site of the fiercest German resistance. Most of the men of A Company were from Bedford. Twenty-one men from Bedford were killed on D-Day. That's why the memorial is in Bedford, said Memorial Foundation president Burrows.
Brothers said the models for the figures were 17 and 18-year-old kids from Lawrence. That helps remind us of how young the D-Day veterans were in 1944. Brothers said. Ken Wheatley's son Chris is the model for the soldier at the top of the wall.
Brothers said the D-Day memorial was for all World War II veterans. D-Day was the deciding day of the war, and the national World War II memorial is progressing slowly, he said.
"This may be the only World War II memorial these guys will see," Brothers said. "They're dying off at 8,000 a day. This is for them all."
"It's the most impressive monument I've ever seen," he said. "I feel very honored to be part of this. How many people get a chance to do a national monument? I couldn't be prouder. This will be there long after we're dead."
Brothers said he was chosen for the project based on his past work. He recently did burs of the Lakota chief Red Cloud for the Nebraska Capitol and the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and his sculpture "Flight" is dedicated to the kids and teachers who died in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Brothers originally planned to be an illustrator when he attended Phillips University in Oklahoma, but a sculpture class got him

interested in three-dimensional art. He returned to his native Kansas to attend graduate school at the University of Kansas in 1969 and 1970.
"The art business is less competitive in three-dimensional work than in two-dimensional," Brothers said. "Maybe because it's harder. There's a lot of mess manual labor," he said, gesturing with his clay-covered hands.

ATLANTA — There is not enough evidence to convict Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting of murder, no matter what Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis says on the witness stand, defense attorneys say.

Spring sports finish seasons; track team gets new coach

Special to the Kansas
Kansas tracksters place at nationals
RALEIGH, N.C. — Kansas All-American Scott Russell failed to live up to his No. 1 ranking at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Russell, who earlier had recorded the nation's top javelin throw of the season, placed 15th at the national meet. His throw of 215-9 fell well below the 259-feet throw he recorded March 25 in Waco, Texas, in the first meet of the season. His top throw was more than 20 feet longer than that of second-ranked thlower Kestutis Celiesius of North Carolina.
Russell, Windsor, Ontario, junior, also tied for 18th place in the hammer throw after scratching on all three attempts and failing to record a distance. Russell had won the Big 12 hammer toss the previous week with a throw of 194 feet.
Russell still could qualify for the Canadian team at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney but would need a 280-foot javelin throw in a qualifying meet to do so.
Kansas' top finisher was Andrea Branson. The All-American junior cleared 13-1 1/2 in the pault to capture ninth place. Branson was the Big 12 runner-up in the event. The 13-10 jump she recorded at the Kansas Relays was the second best mark of the 2000 outdoor season.
Junior Andy Morris qualified for nationals in the decathlon after winning the event in the Big 12 meet. His 7,172 points were good enough to place him 13th in the country.
Big 12 mile champ Charlie Gruber also represented Kansas at nationals in the 1,500 meters. Gruber's time was 3 seconds off his season best but not fast enough to qualify for the finals.
Notes: Anson Jackson received the Hale Achievement Center Academic Award for the men's track team, and Brandi Taylor won the award for the women's team.
The track team placed 21 members on the First Team Academic All-Big 12 and six on the second team.
Scott Russell captured the coveted Triple Crown of college track by winning the javelin at the Texas, Kansas and Drake Relays.
The Kansas men's and women's teams placed sixth and ninth respectively at the Big 12 Outdoor Championship March 19 to 21 at Baylor.
Kansas hires new track coach
The Athletics Department announced the hiring of Tulsa University's Stanley Redwine as the new Kansas track and field coach.
Redwine has been in charge of track at Tulsa for the past six years. Before that, he was part of 22 conference titles and nine consecutive NCAA championships in 11 years at Arkansas as both an athlete and an assistant coach.
Redwine, 39, said he looked forward to taking
on the task of returning Kansas track to national prominence.
"When you go to a place like Kansas, you expect to win." Redwine said. "You expect to do your best, I am a firm believer in hard work and that's what I will put into this and expect from our student-athletes — hard work. When you put in hard work, things like that take place."
To do so, the team had to be in the top 15 after the first two days. But the team made two double bogies on the 17th hole.
Golfers just miss goal
OPELIKA, Ala. — Going into the NCAA championship tournament, the Kansas men's golf team knew its goal was to qualify for the weekend.
"We fell just three strokes short of making the cut and reaching our goal of continuing for the final two rounds." Coach Ross Randall said. "Obviously, it's disappointing."
Ryan Vermeer, who golfed at nationals, made the cut by finishing in the top nine among individuals on non-qualifying teams.
Vermeer, an All-American senior, finished the tournament with a three-under-par 285, tying him for 30th place.
During his senior season, Vermeer captured four wins, scored ten Top 10 finishes and enjoyed a week as the nation's No.1 golfer. His season stroke average of 71.25 is the best ever for a Kansas golfer.
Vermeer plans to turn pro this summer.
Randall, who's seen a lot of golfers in his 21 years at Kansas, said he believed Vermeer had an excellent shot at succeeding at the professional level.
"He's as good at this stage in his career as anyone we've had," Randall said. "Including Matt Gogel, who's been having a great year on the PGA tour."
Women golfers receive awards
The Kansas women's golf team handed out its annual awards for the 1999-2000 season.
Senior Sue Tessary took home the Most Valuable Player award. Tessary led the team with a 78.52 stroke average and posted the team's highest individual finish with her second place showing at the Carolinas Collegiate Classic.
Seniors Carrie Padden and Andi Shultz also were recognized at the year-end banquet. Padden shared Most Improved honors with junior Ashely Bishop, while Shultz was honored with the Acedemic-Golf Award.
Junior Sarah Mahoney, who led Kansas with a 25th place finish at the Big 12 tournament, was honored as the team's most efficient putter.
The team wrapped up its season in late April by finishing 12th in the conference tournament.
High school pitcher Royals' first choice
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mike Stodolka, a left-handed pitcher who was unbeaten and barely scored upon in high school this year, was Kansas City's first pick and the fourth overall in the baseball draft Monday.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Stodolka allowed just 24 hits and 27 walks in 52 innings while striking out 111 batters. In 10 games, he was 10-0 with an ERA of 0.67.
"He's got great poise, is very intelligent and a good competitor. We're just very happy to get him," said Terry Wetzel, the Royals' senior director of scouting.
Stodolka will graduate with honors from Centennial High School in Corona, Calif., this month and has received a full scholarship from UCLA, but the Royals are confident
they can sign him.
Judging by what the No. 4 selections commanded the past two years, Stodolka is probably going to get a signing bonus of around $2.5 million.
"We think he's real signable," said Allard Baird, vice president and assistant general manager for baseball operations.
"He gave us every indication he wants to go out and play. We're very optimistic we can get it done. I really don't think it's going to take very long."
"I'm pretty confident this is going to be a good opportunity for me to start my professional career," he said by phone. "The Royals have shown confidence in me by drafting me so high."
Stodolka, who is also a standout high school hitter, throws a fastball and curveball. Most impressively, he has a changeup that is highly developed for a high school pitcher.
They think I have what it takes. I hope to start as soon as possible."
The Royals went for catchers with their next two picks, taking Michael Tonis of the University of California in the second round and Scott Walter of Lovola Marvymount in the third.
Stodolka is the first high school pitcher the Royals have taken in the first round since 1977.
Stodolka was the second pitcher taken, going behind Adam Johnson of California State, who was selected by Minnesota with the second overall pick. Baird said the Royals considered him the No. 2 prospect overall in the country. He would not say whom they ranked No. 1.
Stodolka did not blossom as a pitcher until this season, when his fastball went from about 88 mph to around 94 mph and he added 10 pounds from his junior to senior year.
McGwire took himself out after straining his right thigh and hamstring on a fielding play in the fourth inning, and Vina aggravated a hamstring injury trying to beat out a grounder in the third. Both were listed as day-to-day.
"We'll see how it feels tomorrow and see what happens," said McGwire after going 0-for-2 with a strikeout. "I'll just go with the flow and see how it feels. It was a hell of a play, though, I'll tell you that." Is he worried?
The Cardinals' 7-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Monday night was extra costly, with Mark McGwire and Fernando Vina both forced to leave the game.
"I don't know, I'll let you know tomorrow." McGuire said. "It doesn't feel right. I know that."
ST. LOUIS — Losses and injuries are mounting for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Jermaine Dye tied a Royals record by homering in his fourth straight game, and had three hits. Dye became the ninth Royals player to homer in four straight games when he hit his 18th Pat Hentgen
He retired 12 straight batters after giving up an RBI double off the top of the center-field wall to Dunston in the second before running into trouble in the sixth when the Cardinals scored three runs.
"Today I had to hit, so I didn't have the same concentration on my pitching," Suzuki said. "I guess that's why I lost my focus in the sixth inning."

Fibblestax is KU graduate Devin Scillian's first children's book. Scillian, Detroit tv anchorman, studied children's literature at the University of Kansas in the early 1980s. The book is published by Sleeping Bear Press.
A passion for language.
By Karen Lucas
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
That's what Devin Scillian, a Detroit anchorman and KU alumnus, has in common with the main character and namesake of his first children's book, *Fibblestax*, published this spring by Sleeping Bear Press.
The book, with illustrations by Kathryn Darnell,
tells the story of a competition between a boy named
Flibiblestax, who creates less gloomy words for things
than Carr, an old man with a sour disposition. What
Carr, for example, calls "grunks" and "gunnywunks.",
Flibiblestax calls "trees" and "flowers."
The story reaches a climax when Fibblestax stumps Carr by introducing the word "love."
At a recent book reading and signing at a bookstore in Ann Arbor, Mich., Scillian brimmed with enthusiasm as he spoke to an audience of about 30 people of all ages.
"When they decided to publish the book, I was so excited and ecstatic," said Scillian, who was still wearing the makeup from his late afternoon newscast.
Scillian can look forward to doing more promotions, not only for Fibblestax, but also for his next book, A Is For America, which will be available in October.
His interest in children's literature is nothing new. Scillian wrote his first story in high school, and he studied children's literature at the University of Kansas with Alan Lichter, then a professor of English.
"He had a profound impact on me and the way I looked at literature." Seilian said of his former professor.
Besides writing stories, Seillian enjoys writing and singing songs as well as playing the guitar. His talent has not gone unnoticed in the music industry. Seillian recorded 13 folk and country songs last year for his album called *Tulsa* on High Heel Records.
When Seillian isn't creating literature or music, he's on the television news at 5 and 11 p.m. for WDIV, an NBC station in Detroit. Although he works primarily as an anchorman, he also does special reporting from time to time.
John Broholm, associate professor of journalism,
had nothing but praise for Scillian's broadcast skills.
Devin Scillian, KU alumnus and author of Fibblestax.
"He has a very large degree of personal command.
He projects well." Broholm said. "I always had a lot of faith in Devin's ability to cover straight news."
Scillian got an early start on his professional journalism career. He worked one summer as well as on weekends during his senior year for television station WIBW in Topeka. After receiving a bachelor's degree in journalism in 1985 and before joining WDIV in 1995, Scillian held broadcast jobs in Decatur, Ill., Tyler, Texas and Oklahoma City.
He was working in Oklahoma City in April 1995 when the bombing of the federal building occurred. "It was one of the biggest moments of my life," Scillian said.
On a lighter note, he also remembers Oklahoma City as the place where he dreamed up 10 years ago the story of Flibblestax.

Mixed Reviews of Eminem, Sonic Youth
Rapper Eminem's new CD a disappointment
Derek John
Derek John
Special to the Kansan
EMINEM The Marshall Mathers LP
EMIR ELMEN *The Marshall Mather's L.*
Rapper Eminem or "Slim Shady" to his many legions of young, drooling fans, sold over 1.76 million units of The Marshall Mathers LP, his newest release, last week. Not only did this make the album No. 1 in the country, but it also established the album as No. 2 all-time in first-week sales history.
Yet, Eminem continually finds himself atop most censors' lists, forced to endure the wrath of Tipper Gore and her supporters of so-called "family values" in the era of Columbine. Even Eminem's own mother has filed a $10-million defamation of character suit against the rapper, stemming from the slanderous content of his first album.
Still as the charts demonstrate, the youthful record-buying public just can't get enough.
So what do we make of all this? Exploitation of the scandalous and irreverent to sell records is nothing new. This appeal to teen angst is at the very heart and soul of rock 'n' roll and continues to thrive today in many popular forms of music.
Advisory Explicit Content" stickers pasted on the front of CDs, which can serve to attract rebellious teenagers.
But Eminem shouldn't be so easily pigeonholed. He is starting to reveal a bit of more of his personal side on his sophomore effort. The album's title gives Eminem's legal name and source of his original M & M mc moniker, and the liner notes have a collage of childhood pictures.
Although just when you think Eminem might reveal the soft side and sensitivity displayed in his devotion to his daughter Hallie, he airs his disapproval of her mother, wife Kim, in an arsenic-laced track that bears her name.
He still seems to go further than other rappers, shamelessly bombarding audiences with distasteful rhymes bordering on the macabre, not caring whose buttons he's pushing in the process. His obnoxiously nasal staccato voice and incessant, polluted tracks that have the effect of a crude oil leak flowing through a trailer park, can offend the listener's ears. And his tired-sounding diatribes against homosexuals are, frankly, inexcusable.
Musically speaking, the beats are economical, as you would expect from producer Dr. Dre, and work well with the bratty timbre of Eminem's flow.
Simple piano riffs and dubbed sound effects give the songs an almost comical, circus-act quality, creating an almost grotesque carnival atmosphere in which to operate. He mocks anyone and everyone, including himself, as he likens his rapid rise to fame and fortune reflected in a variety of fun house mirrors.

The first single of the million-selling album,
"The Real Slim Shady," purports to tell us just
that. How much of Eminem is actually Slim
Shady? The line between the two, fraught with
the prospect of both characters' twisted life-
styles, is constantly blurred.
Either way, I wouldn't recommend joining the consumer mob in their attempt to find out.

Sonic Youth CD continues the beat
SONIC YOUTH  nyc ghosts & flowers
The first track of the new album starts quietly with subdued harmonics in a repeating figure as produced by Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo's seasoned six-string electric guitars. The rhythm section gradually fills in the bottom of the track.
Sonic Youth's newest album, nyc ghosts and flowers, seems to promise more of the same beautiful art-rock sounds that they have become known for over the past two decades, most recently in the critically-acclaimed 1998 release, a thousand leaves.
Steadied by drummer Steve Shelley's off-kilter, but rhythmically sound on
the trap set, the song follows Moore's bare vocals careening in a new direction as signaled by bassist Kim Gordon's changes in the lower register. Familiar melodic lines and subtle hooks slowly penetrate the soft mist of the spatially dynamic guitar patterns, as the song eventually dissolves into shades of dissonance before briefly recapitulating the main theme at the end.
Sonic Youth has used this unique brand of noise rock to build up a loyal following since its humble beginnings in downtown New York.
Although Sonic Youth signed with the major label Geffen in 1990, it has kept its artistic freedom. Their near-legendary status in the "alternative rock" arena seems to allow them a leisurely recording schedule.
On nyc ghosts & flowers. Sonic Youth takes advantage of this luxury to explore new realms of musical and lyrical expression in a relatively short album of only 8 songs tallying 42 minutes.
plays Sonic Youth's trademark sound, but most of the other tracks don't build the repetitious grooves created by layers of unusual guitar chords over strummed bass lines. The music is still fairly dissant and noisy by progressive rock standards, but more stripped down and laid bare than previous efforts. This inevitably shifts the focus to the vocals and song lyrics, which Sonic Youth may have had in mind from the start.
Perhaps inspired by the beatniks, many tracks feature quis-s spoken-word efforts that mirror the work of "50s Beat Generation writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. And the album's cover art is an intriguing watercolor painted by the iconoclastic Beat writer William S. Burroughs.
The first track dis-
When Moore and Gordon decide to croon on a few numbers, they do not disappoint.
Gordon's mournful offerings are as coolly seductive as ever, and years of playing smoky clubs only seems to have improved Moore's silky, rough larynx.
Although the lyrics are inconsistent at times ("boys go to jupiter to get more stupider/girls go to mars, become rock stars"), overall the album works.
It is another interesting chapter for a band that can no longer accurately be called "Youth," but happily isn't quite ready to hang 'em up just yet.

Web surfers find film music festivals that fill the entertainment bill
Summer gatherings cater to eclectic interests
By Juan H. Heath writer@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
It's summer, and that means it's time for festivals. Whether it's a cultural gathering, an entertainment event or a temporary eclectic community, the Web has places to investigate these gatherings of humanity.
Woodstock
http://www.woodstock.com
http://www.woodstock69.com
The mere mention of this festival evokes images of mud, hippies and Jimmy Hendrix playing "The Star Spangled Banner" with his guitar on fire. While the site contains information about the three Woodstock festivals ('69, '94 and '99), it also is packed with plugs for credit
If flowers and tie-dye are more your style, Woodstock69.com has images and sounds from the original event.
cards and e-commerce sites.
The Sundance Film festival
http://www.sundance.org
If you go: Well, you can't... there isn't another event planned.
PRAYING FOR YOU
Juan Heath
Started by Robert Redford in the early 1980s, this film festival is an opportunity for aspiring directors and writers to have
their work viewed by the independent film industry. The festival is held in January in Sundance, Utah. The site has information about past festivals. If you go: Numerous volunteer opportunities abound, but you must provide your own housing. Burning Man
http://www.burningman.com
Held the week before and during Labor Day weekend, this event in Black Rock City. Nev., bills itself as a "zone of radical
self-expression and radical self-reliance." Participants supply their own entertainment with music, sculpture or by becoming involved in virtual "communities."
The event culminates in the namesake activity of burning a sculpture of a man. While some might believe that this is a Pagan celebration, the site defends the event as an experimental community.
If you go: Be sure to read the extensive survival guide. Nothing is provided and part of the experience is taking care of yourself and others.

Summer absences slow battery investigation
WWW.KANSAN.COM
By Phil Cauthon editor@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The investigation of the sexual battery case against two Kansas football players has been slowed by the summer break because the victim, the alleged assailants and many witnesses are out of town.
In April, a Kansas soccer player reported to Lawrence police that two football players sexually molested her Feb. 26 outside The Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St.
Lawrence police said Tuesday that investigators still were trying to identify and locate witnesses, which is difficult because many involved in the case are students and will be away from Lawrence until classes resume in August.
"I'm sure there are a number of witnesses that we still need to contact and interview," Sgt. Mark Warren said. "The investigation will develop from those interviews as more witnesses are identified and more interviews are assessed."
Warren said interviews ideally were

waiting for a second report from police before deciding whether to file charges.
No charges have been filed in the case. Christine T onk vich, Douglas County district attorney, said Tuesday that her office was
"We would need to know where (the victim) is and whether she would be available to testify before filing charges." she said.
The victim is out of the country for the summer. In an e-mail, she wrote that she planned to return to Lawrence in the fall, but is apprehensive.
"I know I will meet these guys on a regular basis, and that bothers me. A lot. Just the thought of seeing them makes me sick." she said.
The University's internal review of how the University of Kansas Athletic Department handled the soccer player's allegations is progressing more quickly.
Barbara Ballard, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, said she had completed a third of several dozen interviews and surveys planned with coaches, athletics department administrators and the student athlete advisory committee. She said her review should be completed by the end of the summer.
"I'm talking to these people almost every day." Ballard said.
She said her office was tracing how the soccer player's situation was handled within the department to determine whether policy or procedural changes were needed to deal with similar future situations.
Although the department has a policy for handling sexual battery incidents on campus, Ballard said that when the soccer player came forward there wasn't a specific policy for off-campus incidents.
The 22-year-old victim said she waited more than two months to report the battery because her coach advised her to go to the Athletics Department first.
According to the victim's police statement, Kansas football coach Terry Allen discouraged her from going to police and said that if she promised not to press charges, he would punish the players in an "appropriate way."
Allen said that he told the victim he would support her 100 percent if she decided to report the alleged battery to police. The victim said she eventually went to police because Allen's punishment consisted of making the two athletes run stairs.

Celtic culture draws student abroad

48 students receive awards to conduct summer research
By Karen Lucas
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Equipped with a tape recorder and a small violin, Marianne Payette Carter will travel to the French province of Brittany this summer to explore her interest in Celtic music.
"There is a strong Celtic heritage in Brittany, and the traditional music demonstrates that heritage in combination with other musical influences," said Carter, Lawrence junior majoring in French. "It's a unique type of Celtic music, and there hasn't been much research on it."
She said she planned to study archived documents, interview musicians, play in jam sessions, visit folk museums and attend a Celtic music festival during her three-week stay.
Carter is one of 38 KU students who recently won Undergraduate Research Awards of $1,100 to pursue
independent research this summer. Ten other students received the J. Michael Young Research Award for $1320.
The University's General Research Fund, the Provost's Office and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences financed the awards, said Barbara Schowen, director of the honors program and chairman of the awards selection committee.
"I'm always impressed with the wonderful ideas and the variety of research that's being carried on by undergraduates at KU," Schowen said. "Another thing I'm impressed with is the passion the students have for their projects."
To apply for an award, a student must first have a faculty sponsor and then submit a proposal, two faculty recommendations and a transcript. Students do not have to be in the honors program to apply, Schowen said.
Award recipients prepare a preliminary report of their research in October and a final report in February. Schowen said students were encouraged — though not required — to participate in the spring Undergraduate Research Symposium. Some students also present their research at conferences or in publications in their given fields.
Carter said that in addition to writing an article for a music publication, she would like to give a performance either on campus or elsewhere in Lawrence.
Celtic music has been a long-time interest for Carter. She said she had been playing Celtic tunes for about 10 years on her guitar, violin, acoustic bass and hammered dulcimer. She also has been a regular performer at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival.
When Carter isn't playing Celtic music or taking classes, she gives music lessons at her studio, Prairie Music, 912 Illinois St.
Carter said that learning to play music was beneficial in various ways.
"The study of music enhances your listening ability, your critical thinking skills and problem solving ability as well as develops your creative instincts," she said. "It's never too late to learn music. I think as adults we sometimes forget how to learn new things, and in music, there's always something new to learn."
Carter said she expected to learn a lot on her trip.
cant tell she expected to learn a lot on her trip.
"The more you learn about other cultures," she said,
"the more perspective you develop on your own culture."

In addition to serving as the University of Kansas' liaison to the Fulbright program, which is an international scholar exchange program, Bricke recently landed a Fulbright grant of her own—to Japan.
For three weeks in June and July, Bricke and four administrators from other U.S. universities will attend the U.S.Japan International Education Administrators Program, a Fulbright seminar.
"I was very pleasantly surprised because I knew that it was extremely competitive," said Bricke, who also received a Fulbright grant to study in Germany in 1983.
Bricke said the Fulbright seminar in Japan would focus on higher education. Participants will visit the Ministry of Education, secondary schools, junior colleges and universities.
She said she wanted to study how English was taught as well as learn more about Japanese "cram schools," which prepare students for university entrance exams.
"What I hope to get out of it is an understanding of the complexity of Japanese higher education." Bricke said.
Another goal of the seminar is to acquaint the administrators with Japanese culture and society. Bricke said. Planned cultural activities include a baseball game, a traditional Japanese theatrical performance and a visit to Peace Park in Hiroshima.
Bricke said members of the group would spend most of their time in Tokyo, where they will stay at a residence for international scholars. Trips to Kyoto and Hiroshima also are on the itinerary.
Andrew Debicki, dean of the graduate school and international programs, was enthusiastic about Bricke's grant.
"I think it's very important both for her and for the University," he said. "It gives her an opportunity to deepen her knowledge of Japan, which is a place that is very important to us."
After the program ends, Bricke said she would visit placement agencies in Tokyo that help students apply to U.S. colleges and universities. She also will travel to Kanagawa University in Hiratsuka, where KU students take classes. Students from the Kanagawa University also come to the University to study English.
said she didn't see it as an obstacle.
Bricke does not speak Japanese, but she
"It will present some challenges, but I don't think it means you will have less of a productive time," she said, noting she would still pack her Berlitz phrase book. "But it does mean you will have some adventures."
Bricke's 1983 trip to Germany was on the same type of Fulbright grant.
"I really needed to know about German higher education because one of my responsibilities is to coordinate the KU Graduate Direct Exchange Program," Bricke said.
Bricke, who has been with the Office of
Graduate students from the University and selected foreign universities, including six German universities, participate in the program.
Six KU students won Fulbright grants for the next academic year:
David Monroe Cochran Jr., Austin,
Texas, graduate student.
Kristen Elizabeth Field, Bedford, Texas, senior
Elizabeth Lashley Field, Bedford, Texas, senior
Cameron Kent McCormick, Lawrence graduate student.
Michael Thomas Schmit, Chesapeake, Va., graduate student.
*Stacey Kathryn Sowards, Detroit graduate student.*
The following students won other international grants;
Betty Ellen Cook, Overland Park graduate student
Matthew Richard Lidman, Humboldt,
lova, graduate student
James Scott Sheperd, Roeland Park senior
International Programs for 11 years, said she had found her niche at the University.
"Working here really sort of meshes with a long-time interest in international affairs and a love of travel and experiencing other cultures," she said. "I also like working with students and helping them make the most of opportunities for them to study abroad."
Michael Schmitt, a Chesapeake, Va., graduate student who won a Fulbright to research in the Netherlands, said Bricke had given him a lot of encouragement.
Bricke's work at the University is not limited to the Office of International Programs. She has a doctorate in history from the University, gives lectures to history classes and teaches a course on international education for the honors program. She also directed KU's British Summer Institute in the Humanities.

Sorority, seven fraternities violate city fire codes
Some greek residents could be houseless in August.
The June 1 deadline to comply with a 1993 city ordinance requiring sprinkler systems has passed. Eight fraternities and sororities are still not up to code.
Several houses are still scrambling to find money so they can install the fire-safety devices.
Maj. Rich Barr, Lawrence fire marshal, said that at least two fraternities probably would not reopen this fall, while two other fraternities and a sorority house would be ready to be reoccupied in the fall after renovations. The remaining houses, however, are still in limbo, Barr said.
The eight houses are:
Tau Kappa Epsilon, 1911 Stewart Ave., will not be reoccupied.
■ Pi Kappa Alpha, 2000 Stewart Ave., will probably be sold to a private developer.
Alpha Epsilon Pi, 1116 Indiana, is trying to secure money from its national organization.
Phi Kappa Theta, 1941 Stewart Ave., sprinklers are in the basement, but Barr said he had not been contacted by the chapter since sending a letter of notification.
Theta Chi, 1003 Emory Road,
has the funding and is in the process of
securing a bid.
Alpha Kappa Lambda, 2021 Stewart Ave., should have sprinklers by the end of July.
Sigma Nu, 1501. Sigma Nu Place is renovating and will add a sprinkler system. It should reoccupy this fall.
Chi Omega, 1345 West Campus Rd, is renovating and will add a sprinkler system. It should reoccupy this fall.

Music library closed, moving to new home
The Thomas Gorton Music Library will be closed for about two weeks while it moves from its former location in an older part of Murphy. The new music library — which will be expanded to include a dance library
— is scheduled to reopen Monday,
June 26 in 240 Murphy Hall.
Vic Cardell, music and dance librarian, said the new space would be three times larger than the old music library and allow new services, such as a reference desk.
Cardell also is looking forward to the new media system supported in large part by donations from Joe and Joyce Hale of Johnson County. There will be 28 carrels with built-in mini CD systems that can record up to 74 minutes of music. This will allow users to listen to music from old albums repeatedly without wearing them out.
The carrels will also have musical keyboard synthesizers on pullout shelves for use with musical notation software.
Eight of the carrels will have Life Forms dance software. The software lets users create a virtual dancer for choreography.
Cardell said this is unlike anything in the old music library.

Lotus restaurant fined obtains license from state
A Lawrence vegetarian restaurant has been fined $1,000 by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment for operating without a license.
Although an inspection found no health violations at Lotus restaurant, 811 Massachusetts St., the department is strict about licenses, said Sharon Watson, the department's public information officer.
"They should have known they needed a license," she said. "It's a state statutory requirement."
License fees are $200, Watson said.
During a Feb. 8 inspection, the department's inspector told the owners they needed a license before the new restaurant opened for business, Watson said. Lotus still had no license when the inspector revisited on April 5, and the department gave the owners another 30 days to obtain one before imposing a fine.
"Generally, we will work with the facility," Watson said. "We'll give them 30 days. We gave them more time than that. The inspector gave them two chances."
Lotus now has a license, Watson said.
Lotus' management could not be reached for comment
Chemistry professor retires after 37 years at Kansas
Jim O'Malley
Richard Schowen — Summerfield professor of chemistry, molecular biocences, and pharmaceutical chemistry — is retiring in July after 37
years of teaching at the University of Kansas.
Schowen came to the University in 1963 after earning his Ph.D at MIT. He began in the chemistry department, and later joined two other departments.
Schowen said his research concentrated on reaction mechanisms — the way atoms move when chemical reactions occur.
Schowen said he would continue to do research here and at other institutions after his retirement.
"I will miss teaching," he said. "I would be happy to continue it, but you can't do everything. And research is a kind of teaching — finding out how things work and telling everybody about it."

Man charged in women's deaths
John Edward Robinson Sr. has been charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of five women.
The Associated Press
Cass County, Mo., prosecutor Chris Koster said he would seek the death penalty for Robinson, and District Attorney Paul Morrison of Johnson County, Kan., said he likely would seek the death penalty as well.
Two victims have not been identified. The three identified victims are:
Beverly Bonner, 49, had been missing since 1994. Authorities said she may have met Robinson when she was a librarian at the Western Missouri Correctional Facility in Cameron, Mo., while Robinson was serving a theft sentence. Robinson was paroled in 1993. Bonner allegedly quit her job at the prison in 1994 to take a job with Robinson. She disappeared a short time later. Robinson allegedly told workers at the Raymore storage locker that he was renting the space for
his sister Beverly. He has no such sister. Bonner's body was found June 5 in the storage locker.
Suzette Marie Trouten
Lewicka, 22, a Polish immigrant, had been missing since earlier this spring. Authorities said her last known address was in Olathe. Records indicated an application for a marriage license was filed in Johnson County for Robinson and Lewicka but never completed. Lewicka's body was found June 3 in a barrel at Robinson's La
Trouten, 28, Newport, Mich., moved to Lenexa in February with her dogs after answering an Internet solicitation, presumably from Robinson, for a $62,000 job as caretaker of an "elderly father." Family members, concerned about Trouten's safety, contacted police, which triggered a missing persons investigation in Johnson County. Trouten's body was found June 3 in a barrel at Robinson's 16.5-acre property near La Cygne, 35 miles south of his Olathe mobile home. tabela Lewicka

Go west: new door in store for Union
By BriAnne Hess
By BriAnne Hess editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
University officials met with architects yesterday to continue work on the planned $5.6 million renovation of the Kansas Union.
David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge unions, said he and the Union board were working with architects to redesign the west entrance to the Union on Mississippi Street.
The Union lacks a good institutional entrance, Mucci said. It gets lost because of the trees and the bend in the sidewalk.
Mucci said the board also had to consider the entrance's relationship to Mississippi Street and the Spencer Museum of Art.
Another central proposal is to redesign the Union staircase, he said.
"Ultimately, we're going to get a staircase that allows a lot of light and movement in the building," Mucci said. "We'll have openings and viewpoints in and outside the building that will play on panoramas looking out of the building and looking through and down the building."
Ben Walker, student body president, said that first floor of the Union also may be renovated to include a coffee bar or a non-alcoholic sports bar along with pool tables and televisions.
"The general idea is to create an atmosphere that is conducive both to late-night studying and coffee but also for small performances that SUA can set up," Walker said. "I am leaning more toward the cafe idea, because I don't think a bar that doesn't serve alcohol will attract much traffic."
Mucci agreed that the sports bar concept didn't go very far without the bar. He said his main concern with the first floor was to find a way to move the arcade, bowling alley and pool tables to the other side where the stairs to the Union's upper floors are now located — leaving the rest of the
"The space should feel voluminous, bright and active, but we still have questions on how to fill it in." Mucci said.
The main change affecting the second floor
would be a covered walkway from the new parking garage. Architects are considering opening up the cafeteria on the third floor to create more open seating. The organizations and leadership section of the fourth floor also might also be enlarged for more student organization cubicles and more staff offices.
Walker has solicited feedback from students and faculty and forwarded it to the architects.
"We've gotten over 20 messages and suggestions on things that haven't been discussed yet," Walker said. "All of the responses have been very valuable."
Mucci said that student feedback had been positive and that he thought the Union would lend itself to what students said they wanted.
Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Kansas and Burge unions, said student fees would pay for the renovation.
Construction for the Union renovation is scheduled for May 2001.

that stalled the trafficway" he said.
The course required students to do research with primary source documents. Bradshaw said he spent a lot of time in the Natural History Museum's mammal vault reading Hall's journals and in the University Archives researching the university's relationship with the wetlands.
Hall was chairman of the zoology department, director of the Natural History Museum, and director of the Kansas Biological Survey from 1944 until the 1980s. He was a prolific scholar and a pioneer in ecology.
Hall also tried unsuccessfully to get the University to take over the wetlands.
On the other hand, Bradshaw said, "It could be argued that the wetlands wouldn't exist if he hadn't done what he did."
Bradshaw's interest in the wetlands produced another paper. For a political science course, he examined Lawrence's Native-American community's opposition to the pro-

He said he learned Hall had questionable racial views and had arranged for the transfer of the wetlands from the Bureau of Indian Affairs so that the biological survey could control the land. He said he found the transfer of land from the Native American people disturbing.

WOO-PING!!!
That's the sound of America's future golfers at Alvamar Golf Course. 1800 Cross Drive.
From all across the country, boys age 10 to 18 have come to Lawrence for the Jawhawk Golf Camp.

The camp is organized by Ross Randall, Kansas golf coach. The camp has been held since Randall started coaching at Kansas 21 years ago.
The camp is not for the everyday junior hacker. For one week, 64 campers are trained in the finer points of technique and strategy.
The camp also helps the golf team financially and creates a potential recruiting base.
"Last year we had three former campers on the team, and this year we had two," Randall said.
Campers spend most of the day on the course, practicing chipping, putting, playing situations and learning rules. At night campers view golf videos and review the day's lessons.
"Most of our campers are well-experienced." Randall said. "They all want to play for a high school or college team."
Kansas golf team members serve as counselors. Seventy five percent of the team will help young golfers at the camp.
The camp also stresses academics. Randall lectures on the importance of achieving good grades in school.
"This helps the team learn how to teach and work with junior golfers," Randall said. "Helping someone else can improve their own game."
Counselors Chris Marshall, Stilwell freshman, and Tyler Hall, Wayne, N.J., sophomore, said they enjoyed working at the camp. This is
Marshall's second summer as a counselor and Hall's first.
"We teach fundamentals, discipline, morals." Marshall said.
Marshall also said that teaching the campers helped strengthen the bonds among team members.
"It's been an exceptional experience," Marshall said. "The hard part is making the kids realize the importance of concentration."
Campers have been eager to hit the links from the start.
"I love the nostop golf every day," said 14-year-old Mark Winter from Fremont, Neb. "I want to
Paul Goebel, 14, Shawne, said he loved the competition and instruction.
Both campers are returning from last summer.
"The counselors and coach have been helping me improve my tee shot," he said.
Bed campers take rides from last summer.

"It's fun to watch these kids grow up," Randall said. "It's touching to see some former campers who have become teachers, doctors and lawyers."
Two Topeka police officers die in helicopter crash
Edited by Jim O'Malley
The Associated Press
Police Tuesday identified Jeff William Howey, 37, as the pilot and Charles Joseph Bohlender Jr., 33, as an observer on board.
TOPEKA — A Topeka police officer who had started helicopter pilot training in March was flying one yesterday during a crash that killed him and another officer.
Lt. John Sidwell, a spokesman for the department, said the helicopter crashed shortly after midnight as the officers circled around a home improvements warehouse to investigate a security alarm call that turned out to be a false alarm.
On police radio, the officers said the helicopter was going down. Sidwell
said. The helicopter then crashed into a field behind the Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse in west Topeka and burst into flames.
Although both officers were department veterans, neither had extensive experience in their most recent positions.
speculate on the cause of the crash.
Howey's biography states that he started training as a pilot March 22 and received his certification April 22. Bohlender's biography says he joined the helicopter unit May 13.
Sidwell said Howey had 151 hours of flight time in the helicopter before he was certified. The Federal Aviation Administration requires only 40 hours of training.
Police said they did not want to
estimate on the cause of the crash. The department's remaining three helicopters will be grounded until an investigation is completed by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
Sidwell said the department had two previous helicopter crashes since the inception of its helicopter unit in 1971. An officer died in a 1974 accident, and a 1964 accident resulted in minor injuries.
Sidwell described the department's maintenance of its helicopters as "very intense."
He said the helicopter that crashed had been flown 5,600 hours as of June 7, when it was last inspected.
time for the 300C model manufactured in 1994 by Schweizer Aircraft Corp. in Elmira, N.Y. No service difficulties with the helicopter that crashed had been reported to the FAA, according to Roland Herwig, a spokesman in the agency's Oklahoma City bureau.
The NTSB's Internet database of accidents and other incidents involving aircraft since 1983 contained only one incident involving the 300C model. It occurred in March in Texas, after a canvas bag flew into the helicopter's rotors during an attempted landing. There were no injuries recorded in that incident.

Stadium rolls out new carpet
High-tech artificial turf more player-friendly next best thing to grass
By Scott Lowe Jr.
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
The Jayhawks will be playing on a friendlier surface at Memorial Stadium this fall.
This week, the University of Kansas started replacing the AstroTurf in the stadium with new AstroPlay. AstroPlay is the softest type of synthetic grass in use today. The result will be fewer injuries, more speed and better maneuverability, said Ardell Wiezandt, assistant football coach.
"It's a great thing and we're all very excited about it," Wiegand said. "The old turf was very hard and detrimental to our players."
The old playing surface, an earlier generation of artificial turf, had grown brittle from summer heat and winter cold.
"This synthetic is the next best thing to grass," Wiegandt said, "It's faster, easier to keep flat, and economically equal to grass."
And he added, "Most players can't tell the difference. It's very much like real grass."
Darren Cook, director of facilities, also said that the new surface is more player friendly, has better playability, and won't cause the harsh burns for which the old surface was notorious. AstroPlay is the same general type of surface used at the University of Nebraska and many high schools.
"Many pro stadiums are looking into this surface," Cook said. "In the future, kids could be playing on this surface from high school to college to pro."
Cook said that the old surface was at the end of its life and that the new surface will be the beginning of more field renovations.
The project will cost approximately $330,000.
Almost $30 million has been spent upright Memorial Stadium. The Athletics Department plans to move the stadium's track within the next four years to a facility that would house both soccer and track.
The department also wants to renovate other aspects of the stadium in the next few years.

Set for destruction, construction
In its place at 1918 Stewart Ave., the company will build the second phase of Chase Court Apartment complex. Sixty planned one- and two-bedroom apartments will join the existing 48 units on the block.
The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house is scheduled to be demolished in the next two weeks, said Jason Knudson, project manager for First Management, Inc. of Lawrence.
Bill Nelson, coordinator for greek programs, said the Lambda Chi Alpha chapter chose to move from Stewart Avenue. The chapter now has a long-term lease for the University of North Carolina as the Alpha Omicron P sorority at 140 Sigma Nu Plaza.
Doug Compton, president of First Management, Inc., said he chose to build the apartments on Stewart Avenue because it was a good location for college students. The 24 finished apartments in Chase Court are alreadyleased. More than half of the 24 apartments scheduled to befinished July 1 are pre-leased, Compton said.

Test wells yield little water for reservation
The survey's crew installed three tests wells at different sites on the reservation. Rex Buchanan, the survey's associate director for public outreach, said two of the wells — 46 feet and 31 feet deep — each could produce about 20 gallons a minute, which is not enough water to meet the reservation's need for a sustained period. He said the third well — 39-feet deep — was producing only a tiny amount, although he could not explain why.
The Kansas Geological Survey is moving closer to completing the underground water search it began last week for the residents of the Kickapoo reservation in Brown County, about 40 miles north of Topeka.
Briefs -
"It isn't unusual to drill in that area and not find water," he said.
Since the weekend, the crew has been testing the water's quality. Buchanan said he expected those tests to be finished this week. Survey members then will discuss the
results with the reservation residents.
"I think things have gone about how we expected," Buchanan said. "It's a tough place to find water. I don't think anybody expected to find huge amounts here."
results with the reservation residents.
Buchanan also said that private water consultants, whom the Kickapoo had used before, had produced similar findings.
The reservation has had a water shortage because of the drought and increased water use.

Education dean takes new job in California
Karen Gallagher, professor and dean of education, will become the dean of the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California this fall.
Gallagher said the school's empha-
siasm on improving urban education was an important part of his life.
"There's quite a good cadre of faculty doing research in teaching and learning in urban schools," Gallagher said.
She said she would miss the University of Kansas, where she came in 1994 after being associate dean and professor of education at the University of Cincinnati for three years.
Gallagher said she was a finalist in searches for an education dean at two other universities but withdrew from the searches before they were completed.
Provest David Shulenburger said Gallagher had accomplished a lot for the school during her six-year tenure.
"The most tangible thing she will be remembered for is the Pearson Hall development," he said. "When that building is opened, I think everyone on campus is going to be jealous."
Gallagher said she would like to come back for the dedication of the renovated Joseph R. Pearson Hall, which the School of Education will occupy in a few months.
Shulenburger said that he hoped to name an interim dean by the end of the week and that a national search for a long-term dean wouldn't begin until the fall.

Luke Axtell named to All-Star team
The Jayhawks Luke Axtell is set to resume his college basketball career as a member of the Big 12 Men's All-Star Team.
His family announced in May that Axtell had completely recovered from the medical condition declining to disclose the nature of the illness and would return to the University for his senior year.
The 6-foot-10 senior guard/forward from Austin, Texas — who left the University and the court last season after 20 games because of an undisclosed illness — was one of 12 players picked to play six games in Austria and Slovakia during August.
Before leaving the team early last season, Axtell averaged 8.7 points and 2.8 rebounds off the bench. In February, he was granted medical leave and spent the rest of the spring semester in Austin.
By Phil Cauton

Kansas campus editor
"Obviously this is an honor," Axtell said. "I'm looking forward not only to the experience of playing basketball on this team, but also the experience of going overseas and seeing some new places."
"This experience will help me prepare for next season in that it will be a high level of competition," he said. "I've been playing a lot, though, and I think I'm already in playing shape."

"This spring has been a very stressful time for DeShawn and his family," Williams said in a press release. "Now that the decision has been made, we in the Kansas basketball family should support him."
Kansas guard/forward Luke Axtell lays the ball up for two against Fairfield in a pre-season game in November. The senior was selected to play on the Big 12 All-Star team this month. File photo.
Formally applying for the draft eliminated Stevenson's NCAA eligibility.
Designed for people who
After coach Roy Williams spent two years recruiting — and eventually signing — Stevenson, the 6-foot-5 McDonald's All-American decided to register for the NBA draft, breaking his letter of intent with Kansas.
When faced with retaking the test to verify his score — which was red-flagged after improving 700 points from his first attempt — Stevenson finally decided to eat for the June NBP and drunkenness.
Though Kansas will have Axtell back in uniform, the team lost star recruit DeShawn Stevenson and junior guard Marlon London.
If Stevenson is picked in the first round of the draft, he would land a guaranteed contract. Otherwise, he would have to be on
Designed for people who
In March, Stevenson, from Fresno, Calif., had reversed his original decision to head straight for the NBA when he found out his latest SAT scores qualified him for the NCAA.
The last Big 12 All-Star team, which included Kansas center Eric Chenowith, went 4-2 while touring London, Paris, Belgium and Germany.

Story by Meghan Bainum Illustration by Kyle Ramsey
Chrissy Heikkila, Great Bend freshman, knew something was wrong when her tongue started oozing greenish-yellow pus.
In addition to the pus, her newly-pierced tongue puffed to nearly twice its normal size. She could hardly eat or speak.
"I almost cried," Heikkila said. "I thought my tongue was going to fall off—it was terrible."
Tongue, eyebrow, navel and other types of body piercings are part of a cosmetic trend at the University of Kansas and across the country. Professional piercers say the number of piercings done in Lawrence has increased significantly over the last four years.

What some students don't realize is that body piercing can cause health and dental problems. Even with proper care, there is still the chance of a post-piercing infection. Years later, a piercing could cause a medical textbook full of complications. Body piercing can be a dangerous cosmetic statement.
Dr. Randall Rock, chief of staff at
Tongue-piercing care
Use a new toothbrush and bottled water to brush teeth and tongue each day during healing.
■ When you have healed and sealed the piercing, change to a shorter post to ensure a good fit that will reduce wear on teeth and gums. (Usually less than 14 days later.)

Drink plenty of cold liquids (water, fruit juice), washing out food particles and residues with bottled water after meals and snacks.
Do not use toothpaste, mouthwash, peroxides or other oral care products during healing, such products do not aid in healing and may irritate the piercing. Avoid oral contact with anything irritating: alcohol, smoke, spicy, sugary or highly acidic food and drinks.

potentially impair normal bodily functions."
"They need to really be certain that the piercing is something they want to do, and realize that it probably has long-term consequences." Rock said.
Areas such as the tongue, nose and cartilage of the ear run the worst risk of infection. Rock said the safest thing students can do is to not get pierced at all.
"I am not aware of any medical reason to recommend piercing," Rock said. "It is purely a cosmetic procedure with risks, and those include infection and scarring. Depending on what area is pierced, it may also
He said the number of piercing problems treated at Watkins had risen with the increased popularity of body piercing.
A tongue piercing, which is one of the more popular piercings, can lead to cracked teeth or other complications.
Dr. Ed Manda, Lawrence dentist, cau
"If something is big enough and in the way, it can cause damage to the teeth," Manda said.
He said that tooth damage from tongue rings was not uncommon.
Lance Tuck, piercer at Skin Illustrations, 740 S. Massachusetts St., agreed that piercings could be dangerous. But he said problems didn't usually occur if people took care of their piercings.
"I don't believe their concern is misplaced," Tuck said. "But at the same time, if you take care of your piercing, you won't run into those problems."
Tuck said that people encounter problems because they think the piercing has healed and simply stop cleaning the area. He said piercings can look fine within two to four weeks, but it actually takes eight to 12 weeks for most piercings to heal.
"It won't just heal on its own. You have to get in there. You have to clean it." Tuck said.
He said a woman who had gotten her tongue pierced in Portugal by a street vendor had problems a week after she had it done. The vendor had pierced her tongue with jewelry that was too short. When her tongue began to swell, it engulfed the tongue stud.
Sometimes, however, infections and problems can occur if people go to inexperienced piercers, or use the wrong jewelry. Tuck said he'd seen several cases of people who had problems because of an unskilled piercer.
Tuck said that educating people about the care of their new piercing was one of
The piercing should be done at an established piercing business that has a clean, well-lighted studio. The piercer should be experienced, should take the time to explain the risks of the piercing and should offer extensive instructions for care after the piercing.
"I had to grab on, find where the already-healed hole was, grab the jewelry, give her a three count, and push it on through." Tuck said. "It hurt. It hurt real bad."
According to Rock, there are several things students can do to avoid bad piercing experiences.

"A person who is not educated is going to run into more problems," he said.
"They are just blissfully unaware about what can go wrong."
Most of the responsibility to have a positive piercing experience is on the shoulders of those who decide to get pierced.
Chuck Kappauf, Dallas sophomore, has his navel, nipples and tongue pierced. He has never had any major problems with his piercings
"Obviously you have to follow good rules of hygiene, wash your hands before you touch any of your piercings and cleanse all of your piercings thoroughly," Kappauf said.
But, Kappauf attributed his successful piercing experience to his motivation.
"If you want a piercing enough, you'll know what

the benefits and consequences of getting that piercing will be," he said. "I didn't do any of my piercings on a whim."
Chrissy Heikkila willingly endured a week-long infection so she could keep her tongue ring. She has no regrets about keeping the piercing.
"After the swelling and infections went away, it has been really fun," Heikkila said. "I haven't had any problems with it since then. Basically, I just kept with it because I enjoyed it so much."
Heikkila said that she would be willing to go through the entire experience again—oozing tongue and all.
"It was gross and really scary, but nothing bad came of it," Heikkila said. "It was definitely an experience."

Chiefs sign tight end, release rookie player
NFL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Veteran tight end Troy Drayton has agreed to a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
鱼
No other details of the contract were released yesterday.
CHIEFS
Drayton, 6-foot-3 and 265 pounds, started 13 games for the Miami Dolphins lost to
and had 32 receptions for 299 yards.
In seven NFL seasons, Drayton has played in 106 games, starting 90, and has 235 catches for 2,575 yards and 22 touchdowns. He was a second-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Rams out of Penn State in 1993, and was traded to Miami by the St. Louis Rams in 1996.
The Chiefs released first-year tight end Melvin Pearlsall to make room for Drayton on the roster.
'Husker players break NCAA eligibility rules
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska basketball players Cary Cochran and Rodney Fields are temporarily ineligible for violating an NCAA rule by working at ex-coach Danny Nee's camp before enrolling in school, the Omaha World-Herald reported in its Tuesday editions.
Nebraska has appealed to the NCAA for reinstatement of eligibility for both players, and reinstatement is expected without penalty once restitution is paid. Cochran told the newspaper.
"For me, it's virtually nothing—I'd say under $25," said Cochran, a junior from Minden, Iowa, who started 11 games last season. "All I did was fill in at the scorer's table for one team camp for two days, and it got me in a bind."
Gary Bargen, Nebraska's director of NCAA compliance, did not immediately return telephone messages left at his office yesterday.

Fields, a senior from Tampa, Fla., who started 19 games last season, told the World-Herald that he worked two or
Both players said they had no inkling that such pre-enrollment work violated NCAA rules.
They said they were invited to work by Nee, who was fired in March after 14 years at Nebraska, and Nick Joos, the 'Huskers' former director of basketball operations.
"I didn't know anything was wrong." Cochran said. "I was just coming out of high school. I had never heard of the rule. But I guess it wasn't legal to do it."
Nee was reached Monday by the World-Herald at his new job as head coach at Robert Morris College, said he had no comment.
Bob Burton, Nebraska's associate athletic director for sports administration, told the newspaper Monday that he has knowledge of the situation and has talked to players who were involved. He declined to comment further.

Mariners outlast Royals in rain out Sanchez shines, Beltran benched
MLB
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Gil Meche came off the disabled list and allowed just one hit in five innings to lead the Seattle Mariners to a rain-shortened 7-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.
The game, halted as the Royals came to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning, was called after a delay of 1 hour. 26 minutes.
KC

Royals
Meche (2-4), who missed two starts with a strained right shoulder, allowed only three baserunners as the Mariners moved a season-high seven games over .500. The right hander
struck out two, walked none and also benefited from an outstanding running catch by left fielder Rickey Henderson in the third.
Seattle, which moved a half- game ahead of Oakland in the AL West on Monday night, has won four in a row and seven of nine. The Royals lost their third consecutive game at home for the first time this season.
Mike Cameron's leadoff triple off of Brett Laxton (0-1) in the third got the Mariners started on a three-run inning. Raul Ibanez had an RBI single, Mark McLemore hit an RB double and
Alex Rodriguez had an RBI groundout.
Seattle made it 6-0 in the fourth on a two-run single by John Mabry, and a sacrifice fly by Henderson.
John Olerud scored the Mariners' final run on a passed ball in the sixth.
Laxton, making his debut with the Royals, gave up six runs, eight hits, walked two and struck out one in 3 1-3 innings.
Mike Sweeney hit a double in the first inning, Rey Sanchez walked in the third inning, and Joe Randa reached on an error by Olerud at first base in the fifth inning for the Royals' only baserunners.
Henderson robbed Scott Pose of a hit in the third inning with a running catch one step inside the left-field foul line.
- Royals shortstop, Sanchez, who turned a nice 6-3 double play in the second, has gone 40 games without an error. He has committed just one error this season in 56 games.
- Dye took over first place among outfielders in American League All-Star balloting. He has 510,595 votes and leads Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams by more than 13,000
- Royals outfieldier Carlos Beltran, the 1999 AL Rookie of the Year, was benched in favor of Todd Dunwoody. Beltran is hitting .252.
- Seattle sent six men to the plate in their three-run third with only two official at bats.
  n Olerud hit singles in his first
- n Olerud hit singles in his first three at-bats.
- A member of the grounds crew got caught under the billowing tarp after it covered the infield. Royals players came running out of the dugout to assist, but the man emerged to the cheers of the crowd a moment later.
The Associated Press
Summer music releases feel critical heat, bask in praise
Bv Derek John
The Concrete
Special to the Kansan
Boyoubetterunow
The Concretes, at first glance, seem to resemble another Swedish import — pop music's carefree and insouciant band, the Cardigans.
Besides the similar band names, evidence of this exists in many other forms. The Concretes also hail from Stockholm, are fronted by a female vocalist with short, cropped hair and use the same powder blue motif in their cover art as The Cardigans' classic album Life, released on the Minty Fresh label in 1995 — the same year The Concretes formed.
That's where the similarities end. Listening to The Concretes' debut on Seattle-based Up Records, one realizes that they possess a sound which is not easily definable nor much like The Cardigans at all.
"We have no idea what to call our music," is the group's most humble response to questions about their sound. "We are six strong and in many respects very different wills but with a common denominator: our interest in music. We want to create music that we like and we want to be able to do so on our own conditions, without having to compromise."
This unyielding formula, however.
only goes as far as its ability to remain fresh. Unfortunately, The Concretes' quirky pop sensibility is about as effective as two wintergreen drops of Sweet Breath on the tip of the tongue.
It isn't that the songs aren't completely developed or well thought out. It's just that The Concretes don't seem to have raised the bar very high, which is ultimately frustrating for the optimistic listener who can hear the unrealized potential.
Of the 11 tracks on a short album of less than 37 minutes, the primary group of six musicians is backed by strings, horns and a variety of other instruments. Yet, the additional instrumentation doesn't really fill in the holes of sound that plague many songs, adding only meager embellishment to the already sparse music
A few more Swedish meatballs in this steady diet of light pop offerings would give the group a bit more oomph and ultimately prove more memorable.
The CD does have its bright spots, most notably "Teen Love" and "The Jeremiad," which endear themselves to the ear by combining reliable hooks and an upbeat mood with interesting lyrics. These tracks and maybe one or two others are largely successful because they manage to eschew the European art school pretentiousness that clutters much of the album.
While I had hoped that Boyoubetterunow would grow on me, I finally came to regard it as a minor annoyance. Despite their initial idiosyncrasies — which, on the surface, are intriguing — The Concretes haven't acquired any real staying place.
And until then, they will be overshadowed by the established and far more effective sound of their fellow countrymen. The Cardigans. Boyoubetterunow arrives in record stores on June 20.
Sunny Dav Real Estate
The Rising Tide
Though the band first formed in 1992, during the middle of the alternative rock scene in Seattle, Sunny Day Real Estate managed to distance themselves from their "grunge" contemporaries on their first two albums by nurturing a style of music that combined a hard, drum-and-guitar-driven sound with passionate lyrics.
The band's third release entitled The Rising Tide features 11 very produced tracks that are rather complex. More richly textured than previous efforts, the CD seems to signal the band's determination to dig deeper and explore more fully the sonic capabilities of the sound studio.
The band still retains their old energy and ability to churn out rock
SDRE is most interesting on this release when they tone down their sound and stick to more quiet, contemplative songs. Tracks like "The Ocean," "Fool in the Photograph," "Rain Song" and "Faces in Disguise" combine poetic lyrics with a carefully crafted landscape of sound to create a lasting impression. These songs explore dark themes with life-affirming power and lend credence to the idea that SDRE can pen appropriate text to accompany their unique musical aesthetic.
anthems with the best of them. Track four entitled "Disappear," even has the feel of a show-stopping Rock Opera number in the same tradition as The Who's "Pinball Wizard." This approach, however, now comes across as a bit dated and appears stale alongside some of the more expressive offerings on the album.
"The Rising Tide" achieves a new standard of excellence for SDRE. Old fans will be somewhat surprised at the group's new direction and not be disappointed. Others will find SDRE's latest advancement in the realm of alternative rock equally enjoyable.
Both old and new fans can decide for themselves when Sunny Day Real Estate comes to the Bottleneck on June 25.

DJs transform Lawrence into hip-hop mecca
Scott Lowe Jr.
writel@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Saturday night, Lawrence was a disk jockey battleground and the center of the hip-hop universe.
Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., played host to the 2000 Technics/DMC Lawrence Heat. The Lawrence Heat was a regional battle in Dance Mixers Club's "Battle for World Supremacy 2000," which determines the best DJ in the world.
DMC is a New York promotion group responsible for the competition. Sixty of the best DJs in the country came to Lawrence trying to advance to the next round.
Lawrence was the only small city to host a competition. Other cities included Chicago, Cleveland, Atlanta, San Francisco, Dallas, and Washington. D.C. Bill Pile, Avalanche Promotions in Lawrence, was responsible for
bringing in the competition for the third consecutive year.
"It was very tough during that first year," Pile said. "We had to convince DMC that the Midwest had the talent to compete, and Lawrence is a good, central location."
Pile, who is a DJ, took the initiative and made connections with other promoters.
"I just knew that people would put this together." Pile said. "And tonight we have a good turnout and great talent."
The competing DJs are more accurately known as battle DJs or turntableists. The object is to use the turntable as an instrument, mixing beats to create new sounds.
Points were given for originality, sound, style and execution. DJ Roi Rho from The Bronx, N.Y., was one of the judges and a three-time U.S. finalist.
"I judge on originality, skill and being on point," he said. "Different
states have different skills and pride that they bring to the table, but you never steal someone else's style."
For Roli Rho, and many others with DMC, this was their first time in the Midwest
"Lawrence is cool," he said. "I came out here hoping to see some tornadoes, but the battle blew me away."
About 300 attended the competition. Many of them came to support their friends and the local music scene.
Andy Atkinson, Lawrence resident, is a local DJ who goes by the name of Teikleness. He said he came out to support the craft.
Atkinson said he played at local parties, and was wowed by the level of talent present on Saturday.
"It's important to support the local DJ scene," Atkinson said. "Lots of people don't know about the music reputation of Lawrence and Kansas City."
"I didn't compete because I don't want to embarrass myself," he said.
Last year's winner of the Kansas Heat, DJP, finished second. DJP, whose real name is Danny Phillips, from Springfield, Mo., said the art of mixing meant more to him than winning.
"It's all about having fun and rocking a party," he said. "I'm not very technical like the other competitors, but I love to be creative and do unexpected things."
One of the stars of the evening was Grandmaster Caz, host of the competition. Caz has been a DJ and producer for 26 years—which dates him back to hip-hop's infancy. Caz amazed the crowd with his knowledge of hip-hop history. He is a member of DMC's DJ Hall of Fame, and has lived through the evolution of rap.
During breaks, Caz quizzed the crowd about rap history trivia, and was impressed by their knowledge.
"I'm a purist and hip-hop is my baby." Caz said, "It's not just music, but culture."
"I can't believe it; all I wanted to do was to make the top six," he said. "I want to see the look on my crew's faces when I get back."
841-PLAY
1029 Massachusetts
By the time the evening round started at 8 p.m. the field of 60 was down to 25. When the dust settled at 12:30 a.m., 18-year-old Malik Crippen had won a trip to the East Coast finals on July 19. Crippen, an Atlantic City, N.J., resident who called himself Da Gambit was more surprised about his win than anyone else.
Crippen will be one of 16 JDs competing in the finals. Crippen also won a sound mixer and other DJ equipment. The winner of the East Coast finals advances to the World Championships in London.

Web informs movie fans
Online savvy provides safety net for theater buffs and trivia junkies
By Juan H. Heath Special to the Kansan
It's the time of year when Hollywood tantalizes the senses and strains the pocketbooks of movie fans. Separate this summer's blockbusters from its disasters with these sites. Let's go to the movies—online.
Rotten Tomatoes
www.rottenttomatoes.com Undoubtedly inspired by the theater-going tradition of
throwing veggies at bad performers, this site is a compendium of reviews from around the
PRESIDENT
Juan Heath
country. One of its best features is the quick reference Tomatometer. If at least 60 percent of a movie's reviews are positive, it's rated "fresh." If not, it's "rotten." Created by a movie buff in
www
1998, this site is relatively new on the scene and its archives are limited in scope.
Film Threat
www.filmthreat.com
If you'd like a change from exploding aliens, car crashes or evil computers, then check out this self-proclaimed "indie voice" for Hollywood. Originally a print magazine devoted to covering cult films, underground shorts, alternative films and independent features, this site now handles mainstream film reviews as well. Its creator and publisher, Chris Gore, has a weekly television show on the FX channel. The coolest feature of this site is the weekly listserv, which dishes up the past week's top films, Gore's recommendations and snippets of movie reviews.
The Hollywood Stock Exchange
www.hsx.com
If you'd like to be a day trader, but aren't ready to break open the piggy bank, then practice trading and get your film fix at the same time. This site allows you to "invest" in a movie star (StarBonds), a musician (ArtistStock) or an individual movie. It's the entertainment equivalent of fantasy baseball. A good game strategy would be to buy stock in an unknown, like Hayden Christensen (HCHRI), the teen-age Darth Vader, and hope for the best. The stock ticker and its symbols are quite amusing.
The Internet Movie Database
www.imdb.com
If you and your buddies are debating movie lines or some other piece of marginally useful cinematic trivia, this is the place to go. IMDB has full cast and crew lists, photos, reviews, memorable quotes, filming goofs and almost anything else you might want to know about movies. Hours could be spent sifting through the information on this site. This is the ultimate movie trivia argument solver.
I'll just keep it as is. It looks like a black and white image of two people sitting in front of a car. The person on the left has long blonde hair and is wearing a dark jacket. The person on the right has short dark hair and is wearing a light-colored shirt. The background is blurred, but it appears to be an urban setting with a building.
In Gone in 60 Seconds Nicholas Cage plays a legendary car thief who reunites with his old gang and his ex-girlfriend, played by Angelina Jolie, to save his brother's life. Contributed photo.
Gone in 60 Seconds steals show
By Erin Dean
Special to the Kansan
With a great cast, some amazing driving sequences and "Low Rider" on the soundtrack, Gone in 60 Seconds is a sure box-office hit.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, of Con-Air and Armageddon, gives movie-fans who want bit more from their action-packed summer blockbusters what they are looking for.
Nicholas Cage plays Randall "Memphis" Rains, a reformed car thief trying to save his brother Kip's life. To do so, he has to steal
50 cars in one night with the help of his retired "crew" and his exgirlfriend.
Memphis' kid brother Kip, played by Giovanni Ribisi, has followed in his brother's car-stealing footsteps. When Kip takes an order from Raymond Calitri — car thief, murderer and all-around creepy guy — Memphis has to take the job to save his brother's life. Of course, meanwhile, the veteran crew is being tracked by two detectives.
Angelina Jolie plays Memphis' ex-girlfriend Sway, and Robert Duvall plays ex-crew member
Otto.
The film's cast also includes up-and-comers Chi McBride, Scott Caan, William Lee Scott, Vinnie Jones and T.J. Cross as well as veteran actors Will Patton, Francis Fisher and Grace Zabriskie.
The 50 cars slated for theft by Memphis' crew includes a variety of models — all given women's names as code — from a 1959 Cadillac El Dorado named Madeline to a 2000 Ford truck named Anne.
See Gone in 60 Seconds on the big screen. It's worth the 6 bucks.

Dennis Carter—farmer from Syracuse, Kan. —said this year's wheat crop was yielding about 40 bushels per acre. That pales in comparison to last year's 60 to 70 bushel-acres, but may still allow Hamilton County farmers to break even. Photo by Phil Cauthon/KANSAN

Kansas farmers weather hardships of wheat harvest

10 a.m. June 15 — Jerry Lampe climbs into his late-model John Deere combine as the heat begins to swell on the plains of western Kansas. The high-tech machine's plush interior is a far cry from the old days of suetting, dust-ridden harvest. An ergonomic seat, A/C, finger-touch shifting and Paul Harvey's "Rest of the Story" on the radio remind the 61-year-old farmer from Kendall how different farming is these days.
Perched above the vast stretches of wheat he planted 10 months ago. Lampe pauses before firing up the combine and remarks that the combine along with other equipment and his land — is just about all he has to show for his life in the field.
Lampe, 61, expects this year's wheat crop — no worse than most of his and other farmers' most recent crops — to yield about a 3 percent return.
"Anyone in this business who would've sold out 10 years ago and put the money in the stock market would be a wealthy person today," said Lampe, a wheat veteran of 50 years. "Or at least they'd be a whole lot better off than they are now."
worry; even after substantial government subsidies, he might earn $30,000 this year. And that's an estimate, not a salary or wage he can depend upon.
Armed with more than a million dollars worth of land, equipment and other investments; after months of sweat and incessant
That's one reason he couldn't expect any of his five kids to take on the family land as Lampe did after his father retired. In fact, he says he'd probably advise them against it.
"Agriculture isn't attracting any youth because of the return on the investment," Lampe said.
"Basically you're out here slaving away for peanuts.
"My oldest son is working for a communications deal in New York making a lot more money than I'm making. How am I supposed to tell
him to come back and farm when I retire? And he'd like to farm, but I don't know if I can recommend it. That's sad. Real sad."
Big-time business or bust
To get the most out of costly machinery — especially given dismissally low wheat prices — the incentive is for farmers to take on more and more land, whether by buying the land or leasing it.
Thus begins a vicious cycle: larger and larger crops — which lead to flooded wheat markets — which lead to perpetually depressed prices.
Many farmers, including Lampe, try to stay ahead by cultivating as much land as possible. But more land requires newer and more expensive equipment capable of harvesting more wheat in less time. And the newer the tractors and combines, the less likely Lampe can make repairs himself, adding even more costs when the inevitable breakdown occur.
Dennis Carter, a 56-year-old farmer from Syracuse, gave up farming wheat on 4,000 acres of land that he had rented from an elderly widow in Kansas City, Mo., in favor of planting sorghum on his own 480 acres in Hamilton County.
By planting sorghum, a stalky green plant used for feeding cattle, Carter can sell his crop in the field to local dairies. The dairies harvest the crop themselves, allowing farmers like Carter to liquidate nearly all equipment overhead.
Other farmers cope with the stingy wheat market by reducing their financial commitments to the farm or getting out of farming altogether.
Carter has found other ways to reduce his family's dependence on the farm's income; by buying the town's liquor store and helping Lampa harvest his wheat every year for two weeks in June.
"Out here if you don't have 2,500 or 3,000 acres of wheat, why, it's pretty tough to make it," Carter said. "If you want to keep a smaller farm, you have to supplement your income with something else."

After farming for 14 years, Melvin and Ione Louk sold their land and eventually began work at a grain elevator that they run in Kendall.
Other farmers sell their entire farms when a seemingly insurmountable debt looms.
"I (farmed) because my folks did," Melvin said. "We did pretty well until the dust bowls around '54. From then on it just got to the point where I couldn't afford it. It's probably good we got out when we did."
2 p.m. June 15 — Lamp has harvested about 50 acres — or nearly 2,000 bushels of wheat — since morning, running his combine at a brisk 4 mph. Paul Harvey's radio program is interrupted by local news reporting that the county's average yield is just under 40 bushels per acre — not bad by some counties' averages, but not great compared to last year's 60 and 70-bushel acres.
The news update also reports a 20 percent chance of rain as a cold front works its way south from Montana.

KU student released from Mexican prison
By BriAnne Hess
editor@kansan.com
Kansan co-editor
Horowitz is a member of the organization.
Mark Horowitz, doctoral student in sociology, spent about 36 hours in jail in Mexico before he was released on charges of kidnapping and gang activity, said Judy Ancel, president of the Cross Border Network for Justice and Solidarity based in Kansas City, Mo.
Horowitz is a member of the top organization. Ancel said she had spoken with Horowitz at his home in McAllen, Texas, after he was released on $500 bail. She said he told her that he was fine.
He had been sent to a prison in Rio Bravo and was waiting for a judge to decide whether giving food to a person on strike is legal, said Christopher Lamora, a spokesman for the Bureau of Consular Affairs for the U.S. State Department.
Lamora said Horowitz was arrested at 2 a.m. Monday morning in connection with a strike at Duro Manufacturing in Rio Bravo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Under Mexican law, the police must file charges or release the prisoner within 48 hours.
"Until the judge makes that decision, the authorities won't know what charges to file." Lamora said. He also said the department would wait to act until action had been taken by the Mexican government.
"He didn't ask the consul to complain about it or complain about the arrest," Lamora said.
Lamora said he had received information from an American consular official from the U.S. consulate in Matamoros, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, who had spoken to Horowitz in person on Monday. He said rumors of Horowitz being tortured were untrue.
"Horowitz was playing the role of international observer, which would be a natural role for Mark," Smith said. "They are usually sent to ensure fairness. As far as I can tell, the only abnormal thing that occurred is that the police attacked the strikers on public property and included Mark in the arrests."
palm about the importance of Horowitz moved last June to McAllen, where he works as an organizer for the Communication Workers of America, said Horowitz's adviser David Smith, associate professor of sociology. Horowitz also was preparing to do fieldwork for his dissertation.
ed Mark in the arrests. Ancel said the organization was trying to raise $2,000 in bail money for the seven Mexican strike leaders who are still being held by Mexican police.
The Duro plant where Horowitz was arrested is in the Mexican region known as the "Maquiladora zone" — where several U.S.-based companies have moved their operations. Ancel said the workers are fighting for the fundamental issue of the right to organize labor unions that are free and independent.

Discrimination decision appealed by University, prof
Both sides have appealed the result in a civil rights lawsuit against the University of Kansas filed by a former assistant professor of art history.
Marie Aquilino was denied tenure in 1998. She sued the University last June in federal court in Kansas City, Kan. She alleged that she was denied tenure because of her gender and that the University retaliated against her for complaining about it.
Kathryn H. Vratil, U.S. district court judge, dismissed the gender discrimination claims before trial. But after a five-day trial, a jury awarded Aquilino $35,000 on her retaliation claims.
The University filed a notice of appeal in the district court May 10, and Aquilino filed hers on May 22, court officials said.
officials said
Filing a notice of appeal is the first step in appealing a case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
Rose Marino, associate general counsel for the University, said neither party had decided which issues it would raise in the appeal.
Stephen Lanterman, one of Aquilino's attorneys, said his client would challenge the dismissal of her discrimination claims on appeal.
"We'd contemplated appealing all along," he said. "It's our position that there was enough factual evidence that a reasonable jury could find in our favor on the discrimination claims."
Lanterman said that he didn't know the precise issues Aquilino would raise but that he was looking into the possible effect of a recent United States Supreme Court decision that made it easier for employees to prove discrimination.
Last week, in Reeves vs. Sanderson Plumbing Products, Inc., the court ruled that an employee who presented evidence suggesting that his employer fired him because of his age and showed that the employer's explanation for firing him was a pretext didn't have to provide additional evidence that the employer had a discriminatory motive.
Aquilino's request for attorney fees is still before the district court.

Temporary dean appointed for School of Education
Jerry D. Bailey was appointed interim dean of the School of Education. Bailey is currently director of the KU Institute for Educational Research and Public Service.
"Jerry is probably the best equipped person to keep the school moving forward during the search for a new dean," Provost David Shulenberger said.
Bailey will replace Dean Karen Gallagher, who has accepted the deanship of the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California.
"I'm looking forward to it," Bailey said.
"It's going to be a busy, busy year."
"It's going to be a busy, busy year," Bailey said that during his tenure as interim dean he expected to focus on several major tasks, including putting into effect a new teacher education division, preparing the school for a state and national accreditation visit and completing the school's move to Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
Bailey, who has directed the institute since 1997, said he expected an interim institute director would be named in the next few weeks.
Prior to directing the institute, Bailey was associate dean of the school for 14 years. He has been teaching at the school since 1975.

KU Lied Center director leaves for job in New York
Jackie Davis is stepping down as executive director of the Lied Center of Kansas and heading to New York City.
Davis — who has run the Lied Center since it was built in 1993 — will become director of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center in September, said Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations.
"She'll be greatly missed in the campus community and the greater Lawrence community," said Toni-Marie Montgomery, dean of fine arts. "We wish her well in her new position."

Wild forest fire season subdued with help of rain
DENVER — Firefighters have contained blazes from California to Colorado, and authorities on Tuesday said they've benefitted from good weather.
"We have had some moisture, the humidity is higher and temperatures have been lower so we are catching a break. There is no ignitions source," said Dave Steinke, a U.S. Forest Service spokesman in Denver.
A fire near Rocky Mountain National Park northwest of Denver was contained Monday night after burning 10,600 acres and 22 structures. Containment was expected Tuesday night for another blaze 35 miles southwest of Denver, which burned 10,500 acres and 58 structures, including 51 homes.
Rain drenched two lightning-caused fires in Saguaro National Park in Arizona and also helped firefighters contain a blaze in the Santa Fe National Forest in New Mexico.
The fire season across the country is already the worst since 1996, according to the National Interagency Fire Center in Idaho. More than 46,000 fires have burned 1.26 million acres.
FBI memo best evidence in Branch Davidian lawsuit
WACO, Texas — Seven years ago, during the government standoff with the Branch Davidians, an FBI criminal profiler warned the on-scene commander about using force to end the siege.
If the FBI took "physical action" to end the confrontation and children died, Peter Smerick said in his March 7, 1993 memorandum to Jeffery Jamar, agents would be blamed even if they were not responsible.
On April 19, 1993, Jamar ordered the use of tanks to fire tear gas into the compound on to force out the Branch Davidians. A fire broke out six hours into the operation, destroying the compound and killing about 80 people.
Now, with the wrongful death law-suit filed by surviving Branch Davidian members set to begin, lawyers for the plaintiffs are hoping to use the information against the government.
"That's the best evidence we have from the government, period," plaintiffs' lawyer Jim Brannon said on the eve of Tuesday's opening statements.
The $675 million lawsuit consoli- dates nine civil cases filed in 1994 after the federal raid and deadly fire that burned through the compound
near Waco. The trial is expected to last about a month.
Fifty-eight die sneaking into Britain; two survive
LONDON — Police are hoping two survivors can help uncover who planned a disastrous immigrant smuggling operation in which 58 people died trying to enter Britain sealed in an uncooled truck on the hottest day of the year.
The two men were found dehydrated and traumatized, huddled in the Dutch-registered truck along with the bodies of their fellow migrants, thought to be Chinese, when customs officials opened the vehicle at the English port of Dover.
Police are eager to question the survivors, who have been moved from a hospital to an undisclosed police facility, Britain's Press Association reported Tuesday. Their location has been kept secret for fear they might be abducted or killed before identifying the agents who sold them their deadly, illicit passage to the West.
"If you were behind the organization of this, wouldn't you want to get to the survivors?" said Kent police spokesman Mark Pugash.
Horrified by the deaths, Britain on Monday launched a major investigation into the crime syndicates that illegally smuggle thousands of immigrants through the country's ports. Some pay up to $30,000.
Man lodges self in toilet, while retrieving lost keys
HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa. — Losing your keys into the depths of a portable toilet is bad enough. But one man who recently found himself in that situation only made things worse.
Authorities said the man had to be rescued after he got into the portable toilet to look for his keys.
Some kids playing at a nearby recreational field heard the man's cries for help last Wednesday afternoon and told their mother.
The woman then called police, who arrived in Lower Moreland Township
arrived in Lower Moreland Township — about a mile outside Philadelphia — and found the man stuck in the toilet's lower chamber up to his hips. The man, who was not identified, had taken off his shoes and pants for the unpleasant task.
He told police he had been in the predicament for at least 45 minutes. He was freed about 45 minutes later, after emergency crews destroyed a significant part of the portable toilet to get him out.
The man was treated for cuts and bruises. Doctors also had to remove the toilet seat, which had become wedged around his torso.

KU artist explores dark side of fairy tales
THE WEEKLY SLEEP OF THE MISSING CHILDREN.
By Jim O'Malley editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
That's how one version of Snow White and the Seven Duarves ends.
And the wicked queen was forced to put on iron shoes that were heated red hot and made to dance until she died.
"Fairy tales are very dark and sinister," said painting major Tabitha Morris, Fayetteville, Ark, sophomore. "I really want to explore that side of them."
Morris won an undergraduate research award from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to fund her

exploration of the dark side of fairy tales through a series of paintings. She was one of 49 University undergraduates to receive research awards this summer.
Morris said that people were most familiar with the Disney movie versions of fairy tales, but that the Gr i r m m Brothers' fairy
Morris said she had started drawing but had not yet begun painting for the project.
tales, for example, were pretty nasty. Some fairy tales were bawdy and sexually gross, and she considered that as a starting point for her paintings. But because she had worked with sexual imagery in other paintings, she wanted to do something different.
"I'm still trying to sort out the kind of images I want to present," she said.
Morris said she was looking at the sins illustrated by some of the better-known fairy tales. In *Snow White*, the wicked queen's sin is vanity, in *Cinderella*, the step-sisters' sin is envy, and in *Hansel and Gretel*, the witch's sin is gluttony. Morris said she found it intriguing that the heroes and heroines of the tales committed the same sin as the villains.
Dennis Quinn, professor of English, has taught courses in children's literature.
"The dark side of fairy tales is a popular modern interpretation," he said. "There's a dark side to fairy tales because there's a dark side of life."
The dark side could be overemphasized, he said. Fairy tales generally have happy endings and a strong sense of justice.
But the Disney movie versions were too cool. Quinn said.
"What they have done to the classic stories is awful." Quinn said. "It's a great misfortune in American movies. Cuteness is the disease of much children's literature."
Morris said she had done a lot of research for the project, reading scholarly books on fairy tales, such as psychologist Bruno Bettleheim's The Uses of Enchantment.
"Just as you wouldn't write a research paper without research, you wouldn't want to paint a painting without research," she said. "I try to read a lot of feminist literature and tie that into fairy tales, which portray the archetypal female roles."
Tanya Hartman, assistant professor of art, said research was one of Morris's
strengths.
"Because she reads a lot," Hartman said. "she has a lady who wants to sav."
Morris has talent, Hartman said. She has a beautiful sense of color and draws really well. But people don't realize how important research is to art.
"Everyone thinks you just pull the
art out of thin air," she said.
Hard work is also important in art, Hartman work. Between moments of inspiration are long periods of hard work.
"It's like a sport," she said. "You have to work at it every day. Tabitha works hard at it."
Morris said she had been drawing all
her life, but had not painted until she got to the University. Then she took Hartman's painting class.
"After the first semester," she said, "I really loved it. I really think I want to make this my life's passion. Being able to think about things, to express things - it's priceless to me."

KU grad students give whiz kids head start on college

As he sat in a circle with 15 students, Mark Harvey led a discussion of the film Dr. Strangelove, on a Friday morning in Learned Hall. Raising their hands often, students volunteered answers to Harvey's questions. Bursts of laughter also could be heard, especially when bodily fluids became a discussion topic.

"You guys are hitting a lot of good points," said Harvey, Shawnee graduate student and course instructor.
But these are not KU students. Harvey is teaching an international relations course in a summer program for gifted 12- to 16-year-olds, which is offered through Duke University's Talent Identification Program.
To participate in the program, which also is available at five other college campuses, students must meet score requirements for either the SAT or the ACT, said Rob VanCleve, on-site coordinator for the program. For example, if students take the SAT in the seventh grade, they need to get a 500 or higher on the math and verbal sections.
Participants take intensive courses on subjects ranging from drama to aerospace engineering, most of which are taught by KU graduate students, VanCleve said. While studying on campus, participants also live in a residence hall and attend dances, movies and other events.
"The philosophy is to help gifted students to develop on an intellectual, emotional and social level," VanCleve said. "We're trying to give them an experience they couldn't get in the normal classroom."
Tuition and room and board for a three-week session is $1,700. Some scholarships are offered. VanCleve said. About 125 students are on campus for the first of two sessions, which runs June 8 to June 9.
Harvey, who also taught in last year's program, spoke highly of his students.
"These students are as bright as the best of my undergraduates," he said.
Harvey also said he thought an informal teaching style worked best with the class. He even dressed like most of his students — in shorts, a T-shirt and athletic shoes.
"I'm a cool big brother as opposed to a teacher in a suit and tie," Harvey said.
Noel Davies, 13, of Fort Myers, Fla., said he enjoyed being in Harvey's class.
He's educated and he's really funny, Noel said. One of Harvey's class assignments is a three-to-five page research paper.
"Right now, my thesis is improving slums in Third World countries where terrorists spring up." Helm said.
Alan Helm, 12, of Orlando, Fla., is writing about terrorism.
Anna Meyer, 14, of St. Louis, said she was doing research on genocide.
The class also will participate in a mock United Nations, with each student representing a country.
"We try to give them the tools to understand how they should behave during those sessions," said Geoffrey Peterson, a Lawrence graduate student and Harvey's assistant.
Kevin McMurtrey, 14, of Coconut Creek, Fla., will represent China.
"China is a cool country because it's communist and very powerful, and it's the most populated," he said. Students have experienced college life in other ways as well.
"China is a cool country because it's communist and very powerful, and it's the most populous island."
Residence hall food has not displeased Neeti Reddy, 12, of Brownsville, Texas.
Saudi students adjust to American life
"They change the menu every day, so there's something to look forward to." Reddy said. "It's not exactly like gourmet food, but it's fresh, which makes it even better."
Students also take part in another college ritual—washing their clothes.
"I did my laundry last night." Anna said, "and it didn't turn pink."

Orientation program helps summer students ease into cross-cultural transition
By Jenny Barlow Special to the Kansan
The University of Kansas is playing host to 18 Saudi Arabian students in a joint program with the School of Engineering and the Applied English Center to introduce the students to the American way of life.
"The students will spend the summer studying English and engineering while the orientation program will talk about transitions," said Christa Hansen, special program coordinator for the Applied English Center. "Cross-cultural issues will be discussed as they adjust to American life."
The Kansas Orientation Program for Engineering is sponsored by the Aramco Oil Company of Saudi Arabia and includes an orientation class twice a week, English four days a week and Calculus five days a week. The program is in its second year.
"In Saudi Arabia, we prepared at Aramco's College Prep Center and took classes in English, math and culture," said Abdulrahman Bajabaa, KOPE student.
The KU orientation class prepares the students for what they will experience at an American university.
"The students will be learning about many cultures, including life at KU, in Kansas and in America," said Mark Algren, language specialist for the Applied English Center.
Topics such as how an American university
operates, teacher expectations of students, communication styles, ways to break into American society and how to get to know people to form relationships will also be discussed. Aleren said.
The KOPE students have already noticed some marked differences in culture since beginning the program.
"I am surprised by the freedom here in America," said Abdulaziz Al-Meer. "Things like tattoos and piercings are not allowed in Saudi Arabia like they are here. And fashions for men and women are more mixed here."
Cultural differences in privacy were also a surprise.
"I went swimming at Robinson Gym the other day," said Thamer Al-Sanouna, KOPE student, "and the locker room was strange to me because I'm used to being more private."
Also, the Saudi students must adjust to different daily schedules.
"Templin [Hall] is a nice place to live, but Mrs. E serves dinner around 5 p.m. and I am used to eating much later like around 9 to 10 p.m." Al-Souna said.
America is also presenting new ways for the KOPE students to spend free time.
"Ienjoy playing soccer, but Frisbee is new and fun," Bajabaa said. "Also, I spend time playing video games on a Playstation."
The students were accepted into the program after responding to an Aramco advertisement and passing a series of tests.
"The selection process for this program was extremely rigorous," Algren said. "Aramco chose students, not only as a result of high academics, but because (the students) showed interest in the U.S. and had a perceived ability to adjust to the culture."
"I am surprised by the freedom here in America. Things like tatoos and piercings are not allowed in Saudi Arabia like they are here and fashions for men and women are more mixed here."
Abdulaziz Al-Meer
KOPE Student
"About 7,000 students applied for the program and only around 500 passed," said Majel Al-Suwailem, KOPE student. "Then Aramco chose the top 150 students for the award."
After completing the program, the Saudi students will find out from Aramco which U.S. university they will attend for the next four years, Hansen said.
"We had a choice of many different U.S. universities to choose from, including KU," said Essam Rafie, KOPE student. "We made a list of our top three choices and Aramco will let us know where we will go in a few weeks."
The students began the program on May 31 and will conclude July 30, when they will leave for their assigned university in time for their fall courses.
About 15 Saudi Arabian students participated in the KOPE program last year and 5 of those students stayed to continue their education at KU, Hansen said.

Fatal Attraction, Desperately Seeking Susan and other pop culture films are the centerpiece of a summer course.
Chuck Berg, professor of theater and film, is using film to shed light on U.S. culture and society during the '80s.
"The bulk of the students in the class did a good part of their growing up in the decade of the '80s, Berg said. "This is an opportunity for them to more systematically explore the time they grew up in."
The course, American Popular Culture in the 1980s, is the latest in a series of film classes focusing on individual decades, beginning with the
1920s. Although Berg has taught all the others in the series, this is his first time teaching the '80s class. Courses in the series meet a principal course requirement for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The class began with study of Vietnam and its aftermath in films such as Platoon, Full Metal Jacket and Birdy. Berg said that most Vietnam films emerged in the '60s.
"Vietnam was such a traumatic experience for the country that we weren't really able to carefully examine the experience of the war until 10 or 15 years after it actually was over," Bery said.
Justin Hamann, Tribune senior, said he enjoyed studying Full Metal Jacket.
"I think it captured all aspects of Vietnam from training to combat and the psychological impact on soldiers after the war," he said.
Even the adventure film Die Hard is on the syllabus.
"Something like Die Hard at the surface is a typical Hollywood entertainment." Berg said. "There are thrills, laughes and suspense. But beneath that entertaining surface there are themes that plug directly into pressing societal concerns."
Among those concerns are terrorism, gender roles and racial integration. he said.
Berg also said the class would explore the themes of feminism, family values and the U.S. farm crisis in selected films.
The class, which meets for three hours, four days a week this month, consists of lectures, film screenings and discussion.
"The discussion has been more animated than in most large classes I've been involved with," said John Ahearm, graduate teaching assistant for the course.
Ahearn also said that an interest in the '80s was becoming increasingly popular in contemporary American culture.
“It’s a fun decade and it’s coming back,” he said. “The '80s are going to be bigger than ever now. You’re seeing this nostalgia for the '80s in all aspects of culture.”

TOPEKA — Fining parents, eradication lice and mentoring students were among many possible solutions to truancy that education officials and social workers listed to legislators.
The one thing everyone agreed on was the score of the problem.
"Truancy is the No. 1 indicator that a kid's going down the wrong phrase," said Sen. Rich Becker, R-Lenexa, chairman of the Joint Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice Oversight.
Many of those at yesterday's hearing said some parents didn't care whether their children were in school.
we have too many parents in Kansas who do not care," said Pat Baker, deputy executive director of the Kansas Association of School Boards.
Baker said that fines for such parents might prompt them to be more responsible.
Jim Glass, a grant specialist for the Topeka school district, said health problems, particularly head lice, were the biggest contributors to truancy for students younger than 13 in that district.
Glass said students may be excused from school for two days if they had lice. However, they can get into trouble if they are out longer.
Glass said part of the lice problem was that many parents in the Topeka district couldn't read, which made it difficult to treat their children.
considered truant after an unexcused absence of three consecutive school days, five days in a semester or seven days in a school year.
According to state law, a child is
"They get medication, but they can't read the prescriptions on the medication." Glass said.
Christie also said truancy decreased for a few years when the school district tried a program designed to prevent younger students from starting the habit.
Glass also said a mentoring program for students had helped curtrancy. Tom Christie, executive director of instruction and curriculum for the Lawrence school district, said a similar program had worked there.
He also said it was relatively inexpensive. The district paid a staffer about $17,000 a year to monitor students and notify parents of students who skip school.
However, Sen. Lana Oleen said it was difficult for the Legislature to find money for new programs, especially those designed to prevent future problems rather than addressing current ones.
"We've got a lot of other bills that we pay first," said Oleen, R-Manhattan.

Coach helps players reach new heights at basketball camp
By Scott M. Lowe Jr.
writer@kansan.com
Kansas stilt writer
"To the baseline and back and don't be last! Last man goes again!" Coach Frank Frank Fuqua barks out to about 13 unlucky souls who are getting an extra workout for infractions at Coach Roy Williams' basketball camp.
The teen-age campers take off with a squeal of shoe rubber on the Allen Fieldhouse court. All around them, about 70 campers practice free-throws under the critiquing eyes of other coaches, and current and former Kansas basketball players.
Fuqua has worked with the camp for more than eight years. His voice is the one heard above all at the fieldhouse. The campers finish their run and then do pushups.
The Roy Williams Basketball Camp attracts more than 600 campers from across the nation. For most of the day, hoopsters are divided into Robinson Center, Lawrence High School, and the Horejsi Family Athletic Center. But the boys in the Pro Camp play in the fieldhouse.
Fuqua is from St. Mary's County in rural Maryland. He coached high school for 24 years and was a college assistant for two. He's retired now but sometimes coaches his grandchildren in recreation leagues.
"I've known Coach Williams ever since I worked with him and Dean Smith at North Carolina," he said. "Whenever he invites me, I'll be here."
Fuqua said the mission of the camp was to help campers improve as individual players, to learn the importance of playing as a team and to emphasize fun.
Boys aged 15 to 17 are in the Pro Camp. Many play in the
Amateur Athletic Union, with aspirations of playing college ball. During the morning, all age groups train separately, but they converge in the afternoon to listen to guest speakers and participate in other activities. That, and an abundance of basketball instruction, is what draws campers from all around.
Fuqua brings three campers toward the end of the fieldhouse.
"This is a reporter," he says to them with a laugh. "Never talk to him when you're a college player because he'll mess up your statement. But since you're in camp, it's OK."
Ben McCain, 16, has come to the camp from Kerrville, Texas.
"It's been lots of fun, and I'm getting good work," he said. "I'm hoping to improve on my all-around game and be a smarter player."
Bensen Schleip, 17, from Fairfield, Neb., is a member of Team Nebraska, an under-17 team that travels the country.
"I like learning from the best, and to be around top people," he said. "I love watching the NBA and college players play pickup games at night. It's great to see them in person, and I learn while watching them."
Noah Smith, 17, is from Gettysburg, Penn. He said his favorite part of the camp was hearing from former Kansas players such as Ryan Robertson and Danny Manning.
"I'd love to play basketball here if I got a chance," he said. Fuqua said coaching and playing at Williams' camp was a unique experience.
"This is a great organization." Fuqua said. "Coach Williams even changed the dates of the camp so he could be here instead of on the road recruiting. You just don't see that anywhere else."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Allard Baird was officially named general manager of the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, replacing Herk Robinson, promoted to chief operating officer after a decade as GM.
Royals name new general manager
The Associated Press
David Glass, who bought the team in April, had indicated his long-range plan was to promote Baird, a 12-year veteran of the organization.
"Recently, Herk came to me and recommended that we make Allard the general manager." Glass said at a news conference. "He felt like Allard was ready and certainly has the ability and the enthusiasm to take on the general manager's role and do it very, very well. It's never good to procrastinate."
At 38, Baird will be one of baseball's youngest GMs. But becoming a general manager, he said, was not necessarily a long-term goal.
"I had passion as a coach and a teacher and thought I would probably end up in the minor leagues as a manager or roving instructor."
Baird said. "But it evolved into this over time and I'm excited about it. It's a tremendous opportunity and an honor. I'm eager to get going."
Robinson, appointed general manager 10 years ago by the team's late founder Ewing Kauffman, was the longest-tenured GM in the American League.
Baird promised to focus the organization on the basics.
It comes down to two things in this business — evaluation and instruction," he said. "If you do those two

Royals
things well, there's a good chance you're going to be successful. That's the core of what we do." A native of Rochester, N.H., Baird joined the Royals as hitting coach for the single-A Appleton, Wis., team in the Midwest League in
1988. Two years later he was made territorial scouting supervisor for Florida.
After winning the Ewing Kauffman Award for outstanding contributions to the scouting department in 1996, he was named special assistant to the general manager. In September 1998, he was appointed vice president and assistant general manager of baseball operations.
Glass, who purchased the team for $96 million, has promised to increase the payroll, now around $27 million.
"I think it's a good time (to be made GM) but it's a continuation," Baird said. "This is a big day for Herk and myself. But it's a continuation of what's been started over time. The plan's in place. The system's in place to achieve success. We just have to keep it going in the right direction."
"Money is a big part of the game. But money doesn't play," Baird said. "Players play. When that first pitch is thrown, it still comes down to the ability to play. That will continue to be our concentration."
Missouri's Dooling skips eligibility for NBA draft
The Associated Press
In April, Dooling made public his intention
to enter the draft. Tuesday was the deadline to withdraw his name for consideration from the draft, which is June 28 in Minneapolis.
"I'm very thankful for the time I spent at Missouri," Dooling said yesterday. "I'll miss my teammates."
The 6-foot-3 guard said he had been weighing the decision since the Tigers ended their season with a first-round loss to North Carolina in the NCAA tournament.
NBA
Dooling earned second team all-Big 12 honors last season, shooting 39 percent and averaging 15.3 points and 3.6 assists. Dooling scored 13 points against North Carolina in the NCAA tournament but was 1-for-7 from 3-point range.
L.A. riots worry storekeepers
As a freshman, Dooling was an honorable

LOS ANGELES — An outbreak of violence after the Los Angeles Lakers' championship victory had city officials on the defensive Tuesday, with storekeepers questioning the ability of the police to deal with any unrest at the Democratic National Convention this summer.
Two police cars were set on fire Monday night, two TV news vans were damaged, and nearly two dozen auto and garbage fires were reported. Looters invaded a computer store, glass storefronts were shattered and at least 74 vehicles at seven car dealerships were damaged.
Police fired rubber bullets to disperse the crowd outside the Staples Center, where the Democratic convention will be held. Eleven people were arrested, and four police officers suffered minor injuries during the rock- and bottle-throwing melee.
Lakers spokesman John Black announced yesterday evening that the Lakers organization and center Shaquille O'Neal each will buy a new police car for the department.
Mayor Richard Riordan gave assurances yesterday that the streets will be safe when the Democrats come to town Aug. 14 to 17, and blamed the outburst on a few hundred hoodlums out of 30,000 people in and around the Staples Center.
"These are not fans. They are losers who only know how to trash our city." he said.
The violence erupted among an estimated 10,000 people who had watched the Lakers defeat the Indiana Pacers 116-11 on a jumbo screen outside Staples Center.
City officials have been preparing for more than a year for the convention, which is expected to draw about 30,000 demonstrators.
"Last night was essentially a spontaneous event. The DNC will be a very disciplined, well-planned, business-type event," the mayor said.
"The controlled areas around the Staples Center will be much larger than last night, and anybody that wants to get into the controlled areas will have to have credentials."
Riordan asked for a full report on police tactics used during the disturbance, but praised the department for its restraint.
At the peak of the melee, Police Chief Bernard Parks said, 600 police officers were on hand. He called it a measured response.
"I think from looking at the size of the crowd and looking at the emotion of the crowd, we certainly feel as though the end result was the best that we could do in those circumstances," the chief said.
The disturbance, coming after the Lakers' first NBA championship in 12 years, had many people shaking their heads. TV images of looting and burning in the nation's second-largest city were shown worldwide, the camera view again sullying the reputation of Los Angeles eight years after the Rodney King riots.
City Council member Rudy Svorinich sternly told Parks he was concerned about what the nation and world had seen.
Staples Center president Tim Leiweke dismissed the suggestion that showing the game to the crowd on the giant outdoor TV was a bad idea, and he said the troublemakers were not simply intoxicated.
"These kids came down here for a reason," he said. "They were going to cause havoc."

Future precarious for championship Lakers
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Magic Johnson believes the Los Angeles Lakers may be one star short of a dynasty.
Johnson, the key player on five Lakers' championship teams in the 1980s, isn't sure the 2000 NBA champions have all the right stuff to dominate this decade — at least not yet.
"I think we have most of the key parts, but it depends on how the team is changed," Johnson, now a team vice president and minority owner, said after the Lakers beat Indiana 116-111 Monday night to win their first NBA title since 1988.
"You know this isn't the same team you're going to see next season. You know we're not going to be afraid to pull the trigger."
The Lakers won the championship despite weak spots in their roster, so executive vice president Jerry West is expected to wheel and deal during the off season.
A scary thought for the rest of the NBA's
teams: the Lakers with a scoring power forward (P.J. Brown, Brian Grant?) to make opponents pay for double- and triple-teaming Shaquille O'Neal. Throw in a new longrange sharpshooter and a big-bodied backup center, and the Lakers certainly would look like a dynasty.
"Jerry West has always done an excellent job with this ballclub and I'm sure he's going to make the right decisions again." Kobe Brant said.
Johnson said there was really not much comparison between the current Lakers and the team of the 1980s, which he believes was considerably better.
"They're still learning how to win. We had three superstars — Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar), James Worthy and myself — and we knew how to put teams away, knew how to win." he said.
Glen Rice, a free agent who made $7 million this year and wants more for his next contract, may be one player who won't be back. Rice, 33, never lived up to his job as

LAKERS
the third option — behind O'Neal and
Bryant — in the Lakers' offense.
Backup center John Salley and reserve Brian Shaw also are free agents, and both are expendable. The Lakers' starting lineup this season was, outside of O'Neal and Bryant, a bit of a patchwork affair that included 35-year-old Ron Harper, who won three championship rings in Chicago, and 36-year-old A.C. Green, who won two with Los Angeles in the '80s.
Larry Bird, a high-scoring forward who
led Boston to three championships, believes the Lakers have a good chance of being the league's best team over the next few years for one reason — O'Neal.
"He's just so dominating that they have an opportunity here to do something great for a number of years," said Bird, who did what he said he was going to and stepped down after three seasons as the Pacers' coach following their Game 6 loss.
"They're very good, but they are not great
veter. Hearn said of Shaq and Kobe's team.
Robert Horry, with the Houston Rockets when they won back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995, knows how precarious life at the top can be.
Chick Hearn, the Lakers' broadcaster for the past 40 years, said this team isn't as good as the ones in the 1980s, or the 1972 champions led by Wilt Chamberlain and West.
"Because we won it, everybody will jump on the bandwagon," he said. "But if something happens next year, we have a little lull, they'll all jump off."
King to coach Olympic tennis
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Billie Jean King believes she will be coaching a dream team in the Sydney Olympic Games.
"I look good because I am like Phil Jackson. I get all the great horses," King said Tuesday after being introduced as the coach of the U.S. women's Olympic tennis team.
Under Olympic rules, the top players who qualify must be picked for the team.
SYDNEY 2000
"I don't have a choice," King said. "I don't get to choose like I do at Fed Cup. I have to go stricly by the rules and go by rankings. In a way, it's easier for me because I don't have a choice."
The United States conceivably could be represented by secondranked Lindsay Davenport, who won the singles gold medal four years ago in Atlanta. No. 5 Venus Williams and No. 6 Monica Seles. For the doubles, King could select either Serena Williams, who is ranked eighth in singles but has won several Grand Slam tournament doubles titles with her older sister Venus, or Lisa Raymond, who is top-ranked in doubles.
"We have the best players in the world in America," King said. "I am lucky to be the coach. I don't win it, they win it. I just try to make it fun for them and help them."
Rick Ferman, chief executive of the U.S. Tennis Association, said selecting King was special this year since the Sydney Games, to be held Sept. 15 to Oct. 1, mark the 100th anniversary of women competing in the Olympics.
"There is no one who is more responsible for the growth of women's athletics worldwide than Billie Jean." Ferman said.
The men's captain will be announced soon, a USTA spokesperson said.
Four years ago, King's team swept the gold medals in Atlanta. Mary Joe and Gigi Fernandez, who are not related, took the doubles gold.
This year's team must be selected on July 10, the day after Wimbledon ends. That, King said, could create a problem, especially if someone is injured.
"They all want to go," she said.
"Now, will they change their minds? That's always a possibility. And injuries: Lindsay's back, Venus' wrist, Siren's knee."
"A lot of things can happen in July August and early September,
"There is no one who is more responsible for the growth of women's athletics worldwide than Billie Jean."
CEO of the U.S. Tennis Association
Rick Ferman
so it is really difficult. I know I have talked to athletes in other sports and they all have the same feelings, just have no idea. Make the decision Monday after Wimbledon, maybe in September they are not even playing anymore."
To be eligible to be selected as a replacement, players declare themselves available for the Olympics and go through other procedures, including drug testing, within the next two weeks.
The effort, however, is worth it, said King.
The Olympics are very special because it includes all the different sports, she said. "It includes major league sports (and) includes very minor sports that are very obscure.
"It is a wonderful experience to meet athletes from throughout the world, but also athletes in different sports. It really does bring a feeling of everyone really being together from a global sense," she said.

How do wheat farmers know when it's time to harvest? Responses from Hamilton County farmers include:
*The grain is a certain color of red.
*The fields make more noise when they're dry and ripe.
*The wheat heads will lean over when they're ready.
*You can bite the berry and if it's soft at all,it's not ready.

Wheat farmers stick it out despite low profits
Continued from page 1A
"That's an 80-percent chance of not raining," Lampe remarked, still attuned to the report.
Rain would be good for the county's budding corn and milo crops, but a storm could be devastating to the wheat.
Custom cutters
As the cost of harvest equipment has crept up, so has an entire industry built around maximizing the productivity of expensive, high-tech combines.
Fleets of so-called custom cutters travel from Arizona to Montana, harvesting wheat wherever they can find work. Like any harvest work, custom cutters' hours are from about 10 a.m — or as soon as the morning dew dissipates — to several hours past sunset. And instead of the individual farmer's typical two-week harvest, their harvest season starts in early May and doesn't end until late September.
But even after maximizing the hours eked out of his equipment, Lon Wurz's custom cutting business has just as tight a profit margin as the farmers themselves.
"In the whole harvest industry, everybody's kind of looking over their shoulder as to whether it's time to bail out or if we're going to ride this dead horse into the ground," said Wurz, now on his 28th harvest.
"Balling out is probably the intelligent thing to do. But this is what I am. This is my form of identity. It's what I want. It's what I want to do. But it just ain't working. It's taken me a lifetime to figure this out. I know I should quit, but I probably won't." he said.
Wurz sees the most viable solution to the American farm's predicament in expanded overseas markets.
"When I was a little boy, I remember my dad saying, 'We're the breadbasket of the world. We feed the world, and we need to be proud of that.' He was right," Wurz said.
"But the rest of the world is farming now, and if something doesn't change pretty soon, I'm not sure we'll be needed anymore."
7:30 p.m. June 15 — Looming on the northwestern horizon, billows of towering clouds give Hamilton County farmers about two hours' notice of the approaching cold front.
The future's prospects
With China's imminent entrance into the World Trade Organization, American wheat farmers may yet avert Wurz's ominous forecast. With nearly 1.3 billion people to feed, China's market potentially could boost the price of wheat worldwide, easing the financial strain on Kansas wheat farmers.
Despite significant trade barriers, China imported $28.5 million in Kansas agricultural products in 1997, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Once China enters the WTO and those trade barriers are eased, agricultural exports to China should increase dramatically.
according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Web site.
In anticipation of expanding Asian markets, many Kansas farmers are experimenting with hard white winter wheat — a variety preferred for making Asian noodles, as well as tortillas.
For generations, hard red winter wheat has been the predominant crop in Kansas. But Kansas State University geneticists and agronomists have developed strains of white wheat suited to Kansas' climate and resistant to its pests.
For the most part, it will be a matter of enough Kansas farmers switching to this strain to make it worthwhile for elevators to isolate entire bins for the white variety, said John Phillips, an elevator manager near Kendall.
"Right now, with the kind of volume we handle, there just aren't enough farmers growing hard white wheat to justify separating it out," said Phillips, 43. "But we're already seeing that start to change, and it might not be long before
hard white takes over."
With the emergence of the white variety and expanding wheat markets, the threat to Kansas farms may soon subside.
As Lampe, Carter and Melvin all remember, wheat prices doubled to $5.60 a bushel during the mid-1970s, while the United States and Russia had a trade agreement that boosted U.S. wheat exports.
9:15 p.m. June 15 — As the sun drops below the horizon and the cold front's clouds settle over Hamilton County, scathing winds whip dust against the windows of Lampa's combine. The persistent winds refuse to subside, and a half hour from now Lampa will call it quits for the day. Too much wheat will be blown from the grain cart and turbulent conditions will make night harvest too difficult.
But for now Lamp and farmers around him can exhale: the cold front did not bring a wheat-killing storm and harvest will begin anew tomorrow.
—Edited by Mindie Miller
A narrow margin for profit, survival
Like farmers across the country, Jerry Lampe has had to cope with steadily rising costs, while wheat prices consistently hover around the same level they did 50 years ago when he began farming.
Skyrocketing diesel prices made this year's crop particularly costly to reap, running Lampe $500 to $600 per day to operate his harvest machinery from sunup to sundown. During ten days of harvest that adds up to about a $2,500 increase from last year's fuel costs.
Lampe's machinery — a three-year-old tractor, two well-worn trucks and a 1998 John Deere combine — amount to about $300,000 of overhead. Seed, fertilizer and pesticide typically total about $40 per acre.
Property taxes on his 1,500 acres in Hamilton county, leases on another 2,500 acres, labor costs and insurance each add thousands more to the annual cost of farming.
Those costs, combined with the stubbornly low selling price of wheat — $2.35 in western Kansas last week — balance out to an extremely narrow profit margin. An inch of rain literally can make the difference between profit and loss.
"This crop had potential for 60 bushels (per acre), but we didn't get the right kind of weather, and so we're running about 40 bushels," Lampe said. "It used to be that when you had a good crop, it'd carry you through the bad ones. Now you need a good crop just to survive. And this crop — this crop is break-even for us or less."

Lost in an electronic sea
Web visuals leave some users blind
Bv Rvan Haga
Special to the Kansan
Johnna Godinez, a graduate student in special education, is lost on a sea of electronic text.
Godinez has retinitus pigmentosa, a type of tunnel vision that affects her peripheral vision. She can see only within a rounded oval. At the edges of that oval, she sees a constant strobe of flashing points of light.
But
when
Tabor
went to
Amazon
to
strate
To use the Internet, Godinez must use a program called Zoomtext that magnifies the letters on her screen up to 16 times their normal size. Even with this program, surfing the Web can be incredibly difficult.
"Colors are a challenge," Godinez said. "It is easier to read with contrasting colors. Light green letters on a white background slow me down because it is difficult to read. Black on white or white on black would be better. Graphics can also be very confusing."
Her experience is not uncommon.
Her experience is not uncommon. People who have problems seeing or hearing, or have limited use of their arms and hands, have trouble getting on the information superhighway.
designers say too many people see the Web as a visual medium instead of an information medium. The same experts say that information retrieval is the main function of the Internet and that if more designers saw it that way, then everyone would be better off.
"But in reality," she said, "that philosophy makes surfing more time-consuming and harder to navigate for everyone, not just disabled people."
Robert Tabor, a Lawrence claims attorney, is blind. He uses a text-to-speech browser to navigate the Internet.
Carine Ullom, software trainer and documentation specialist at the University of Kansas, said people often thought visually oriented Web sites were the best.
The browser reads aloud the text and links on a page. But when an image appears, all Tabor hears is "Image." If the page is composed mostly of graphics, he will hear "Image," again and again.
Ullom teaches a class to students and faculty about Internet accessibility twice a semester. The class gives an overview of accessibility issues and provides exposure to some of the quick, easy and basic things to do to make a Web site more accessible.
Navigating without seeing
About a year ago, Ullom suggested that Academic Computing Services begin including accessibility training in its Web authoring classes. ACS took her advice.
"We teach in order to promote accessible Web sites from the beginning, instead of trying to teach people to retrofit their page later," she said.
The class demonstrates what it's like to use a speech-only browser and navigate a Web page with only a keyboard and no mouse.
"We try to show how much more time-consuming and frustrating it is to navigate without the use of graphics," said Ullom. "It is very revealing to hear how a browser pronounces words and how a person can tell
exactly where they are on the page."
Accessibility solutions
Internet accessibility became a major issue recently because of the threat of lawsuits against both government and private Web sites
Last
November, the National Federation for the Blind filed a lawsuit against America Online, contending that the company's online software was inaccessible. As a
result, the Constitution subcommittee of the U.S. House Judiciary committee held hearings to determine possible applications of the Americans with Disabilities Act to private Internet sites.
The Justice Department has said the ADA ought to apply to commercial Web sites. This interpretation of the law stirred criticism from some business and online groups, which said that Web sites would have to remove images, live video and audiostreams to comply.
Ben Isaacson, executive director of the Association for Interactive Media a trade group that represents 400 Net firms, including AOL, Disney and Yahoo! - said he is worried the suit could lead to government interference with business on the Internet. He said the industry was capable of self-regulation.
The World Wide Web Consortium, which standardizes the Web, started the Web Accessibility Initiative. The initiative lists 14 guidelines to make a Web site accessible.
Lynx was developed at the University of Kansas.
According to Ullom, graphics need not be abandoned. Providing alternative text for graphics actually is very simple, she said.
Isaacson told the Boston Herald that because the Internet industry will do anything to gain an additional market share, there is no need for government regulation for Internet accessibility.
AOL already has announced that a new version of its software will be released later this year that will improve accessibility for disabled users. This could make the Federation for the Blind's lawsuit moot.
"Lynx software (a popular speech browser) will only identify a graphic by saying 'Image,' she said. "With alternative text, the graphic or link can be described by the software, and the page will be much easier to navigate."
Isaacson seems to be right.
Most Web sites still remain too dependent on graphics and inaccessible to impaired users.
Ullom said she would add two additional guidelines to the list. One is
Room for improvement
keep- ing the page consistent.
"Web sites change so often and
The other quick fix, she said, is to make links an entire sentence or phrase so that users have some context to understand where the link leads.
change so often and vary so much from page to page that a sight-impaired user is often not able to skip through choices they know should be coming," she said. "This wastes a lot of time."
"If a user chooses to listen only to the links on a page, it can often be very confusing, especially if the link reads 'click here' or 'info.' If the link takes you to a page about computer class schedules, the link should read 'computer class schedule' instead of 'schedule' or just having a link that says 'info.'" Ullom said.
Judy Brewer, director of the WAI International Program office, said that Web accessibility solutions generally were inexpensive and easy to implement and that they represented good Web design.
Designers and Web masters are beginning to take note.
Bright spots on the horizon
"While we are still in the building stages of the Digital Jayhawk and are not completely accessible to the disabled, we are working to separate the presentation from the information," said Christopher Ryan, Web master for the School of Journalism's Digital Jayhawk.
Ryan intends to have an alternative page that is more barebones with its presentation and to use alternative text for graphics and photos.
With the increased government and business awareness and the creation of the initiative guidelines, Internet users like Godinez and Tabor should begin to find the Web an easier place navigate.
Godinez said the site for The Council for Exceptional Children was especially bad, even though it deals with disability issues.
Amazon.com to demonstrate its inaccessibility, he was surprised to find a page that was laid out simply and was easy to follow.
"I guess they have
"I guess they have improved it since last time I was here," Tabor said.

Funk band to funkify Lawrence
Phat Phunktion hones unique sound from diverse styles
By BriAnne Hess
Kansan co-editor
The nine-piece band, Phat Phunktion,
make a stop on their Midwest tour at the
Jazzhaus, 926-1-2 Massachusetts St., at 10
p.m. Saturday.
Rob Szudy, bass and vocals, has been a Phat Phunktion member since the band formed in 1996 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Have you played in Lawrence before?
Szudy: This is, in fact, our maiden voyage to Kansas. We are very excited because several members of the band have friends and relatives there and we hear it is as much of a party town as where we come from!
What have been the band's influences?
Study; That's a big question. Most of the band went to the University of Wisconsin School of Music, and most of us studied jazz to some extent or another. Certainly this has a role in shaping our sound, but at the same time, our tastes in popular music came from all different directions, from old school soul to heavy metal to Top 40 pop of all ages and a number of other styles. I think it is this wealth of ideas coming from vastly different backgrounds on a common palette that make Phat Phunktion sound unique.
How would you classify Phat
Phunktion's sound?
Szudy: We make music that makes people
want to move and dance and feel good. That is what it is all about for us, and that is what the music sounds like. Think of it as the ultimate drug for forgetting your work week! On a more specific level, we have a rather large horn section compared to most bands, as well as five members who sing and this certainly adds a lot to the sound.
What is funk, exactly?
Sudy: At its core, funk is a kind of music pioneered in the '70s where normally melodic instruments are used rhythmically. Funk is all about rhythm and movement, and that is why so many people find it so irresistible. A lot of pop has funk in it, but to me the funk is that essence underneath that makes you want to move in ways you don't normally move and forget about what you look like doing it. Like I said — feeling good! (Can't beat that!)
What music/artists do you listen to now?
Szudy: Lessee...on the road in the vans we listen to a lot of Greazy Meal; some D'Angelo; Earth, Wind & Fire; Stevie Wonder...those are just a few that we have been listening to on the last few trips. Whenever anybody picks up a new CD, we generally all check it out as we cover the miles. We also listen to a lot of CDs from other bands we play with in various regions.
Several great Chicago bands we play with a lot are Bumpus and Fat Time, and we listen to them fairly often, as well as Left Undone and Mama Digdown's Brass Junction.
What do you think of the influx of boy bands and Britney Spears into the pop culture?
Sudy: Like all things, the music industry works in cycles. Just as people started to get sick of 80s poser rock, they found the
grunge to absorb their attention. Recently there has been a shift back towards pop solo artists, and this nearly always comes with interest in boy/girl groups.
These groups always grow up! As these youth pop cycles wind down, the public focus often moves back towards bands who write their own music. I do not think there is any right or wrong way to experience music — they are all good. The important thing to remember is that there is more great music out there than ever before, and this is undeniably true regardless of who is selling multi-platinum this quarter. In fact, ample evidence of this is the wealth of great regional bands I mentioned above.
How do your live shows differ from your recording?
Study: Immensely! It seems to me that there is no way to record onto a piece of plastic the experience of being right there, moving and sweating to the music of nine people playing their asses off. It just cannot be done. Our albums sound great, don't get me wrong, but the whole level of energy is just not something you can compare. We also change it up quite a bit from the recorded versions. If one of us starts a musical idea playing off of the song in a new way, we can all go with that and make something new happen, and that spontaneity is impossible to experience without being there.
Your fans are referred to as phatheads — do they follow the band around a la deadheads and phishheads?
Study: You know, some of them do! The most devoted of our fans have most certainly earned the title of "phathead," so we like to believe that everyone else is just a "phathead in training." (Deep voice-over: Come to the Phat! You cannot resist the Phat! Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain...oops!)

Wrestler bares all in book
By BriAnne Hess

Kansan co-editor
like it or not is more a matter of personal taste.
He's the most electrifying man in sports-entertainment. Just ask the Rock, he'll tell you himself. And he did — for 281 pages.
But to give the Rock a little bit of credit, he does have a somewhat intriguing story to tell. Although I felt compelled to start reading the book — it was a gift from my roommate, an avid wrestling fan — something else carried me through to the end.
I wanted an answer to the question: How does a moral, talented athlete get caught up in the sensationalized shenanigans of professional wrestling?
We all know that professional wrestling is fake, from the "People's Elbow" to, the "Stone Cold Stunner." The Rock openly admits that professional wrestling is thoroughly scripted and choreographed.
So in reading the book, my quest was to find out why people buy into that lifestyle.
It was a tale that few outside of the wrestling world would care to hear about. The Rock isn't interested in ending world hunger or helping the homeless. But he does paint a gritty biopic about his shortcomings, his love of his family and what it took to get where he is today.
The Rock lured me into his life at the beginning, with tales about his father and grandfather — both successful professional wrestlers. I also found out how he lost his virginity, what prevented him from playing professional football and how he met his wife.
If you ever wonder why millions of fans tune-in to the World Wrestling Federation, this is a

Author unmasks the NCAA
By Scott M. Lowe Jr.
Incidents involving Bobby Knight, The University of Minnesota, Florida State University ... almost weekly we seem to be bombarded by the media with the latest episode of corruption in college athletics.
Kansan staff writer
In Unpaid Professionals (Princeton University Press, 206 pages), Zimbaliist effectively exposes the hypocrisy in college athletics today.
Zimbalist is a professor of economics at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. He has published 12 books and has written extensively on comparative economics.
This book has a near-endless supply of information, statistics, history, and horror stories of a system run amok. Unlike most other summer reading which will whisk the reader away to some dreamy landscape, Unpaid Professionals is an expose that provokes contemplation and reform.
This book disputes many myths purported by the NCAA and the media, such as:
The real reason the NCAA rescinded freshman ineligibility.
Why the NCAA is part of the problem instead of part of the solution.
Zimbali's 10-step plan seeks to restore the true principles behind college athletics. The book stimulates thought and action without being overly political. But be warned: if you're a college sports fanatic, don't read this book. You'll never look at college sports the same way again.
Unpaid Professionals ANDREW ZIMBALIST Commercialism and Conflict in Big-Time College Sports
Author Andrew Zimbaliist explores the ins and out of college athletics and offers solutions in his book, *Unpaid Professionals*.

Novelist creates life from fiction
By Jim O'Malley
eauthor@kansan.com
Kansan co-editor
Naval battles, typhoons, pirate attacks, shipwrecks and duels — there's enough violence in Patrick O'Brian's 20 novels chronicling the voyages of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin in the Napoleonic-era British Navy to satisfy hardened consumers of adventure stories.
But that's not the point of O'Brian's novels. They chronicle a 15-year friendship between two characters as fully realized and as different as any two friends in literature. Stephen describes Jack as a "big, cheerful, florid sea officer whom most people liked on sight but who would never have been described as subtle or capable of subtlety by any one of them (except perhaps his surviving opponents in battle)."
Stephen is a slight, melancholy, illegitimate, secretive Irish-Catalan physician, a noted naturalist, and a spy for the British Admiralty.
All they seem to have in common is a love of music—they meet in 1800 at a concert in Port Mahon, Minorca, off the coast of Spain.
That meeting — like that of another set of fictional friends in The Three Musketeers — nearly ends in a duel, but they become friends. When Aubrey is given command of a ship he enlists Stephen as the ship's surgeon. Jack and Stephen sail together for the remaining 15 years of the Napoleonic wars, meanwhile courting and marrying young women in Jane Austen's England.
Critics have compared the novels to those written by Austen. Jack's courtship of Sophie Williams in *Post Captain* and H.M.S. Surprise is the flip side of *Pride and Prejudice*.
O'Brian's dialogue is unique — perfectly understandable but nothing like a contemporary conversation. No one now knows how early 19th century gentlemen talked, but Jack and Stephen's conversation can bring readers back to another time.
— at least this one — back to another time.
The novels also recreate the world of the Royal Navy in the age of sail. It's not necessary to understand or even be interested in sailing or naval warfare to appreciate O'Brian's depiction of the human communities in the wooden ships of the Royal Navy. Readers who can't master the technical details of sailing are no worse off than Stephen, who never in 15 years learns anything about sailing and remains a danger to himself on the deck of a ship.
Jack's many misadventures ashore — an unwise affair with an admiral's wife, foolish investments, debtor's prison, and trial for stock market fraud — provide a view of an England that would be familiar to readers of Dickens and Hardy.
Fans of naval fiction will inevitably compare O'Brian's Aubrey to C.S. Forester's fictional British Navy captain, Horatio Hornblower, but the one-dimensional Hornblower pales in comparison to Jack and Stephen.
And unlike Hornblower, O'Brian and his characters have a sense of humor. For example, in *The Truelove*, a sailor gives this description of the Easter Islanders. "They are not an ill-natured crew, though much given to thieving. And I must admit they ate one another more than was quite right. I am not over-particular, but it makes you uneasy to be passed a man's hand. A slice of what might be anything, I don't say no to, when sharp-set, but a hand fair turns your stomach."
I've been putting off reading the newest O'Brian novel, Blue at the Mizen, because when it's done, I'll have no more to look forward to. Patrick O'Brian died in January, ending a beautiful friendship.

Dynamic Chicken Run tickles the funny bone
Clay-animated film pits fowl against a foul fate
Erin Dean
Special to the Kansan
They're jailbirds. Cooped up behind barbed wire, fearing for their lives and dreaming of the outside world. They are the chickens of Tweedy's Egg Farm.
Aardman Animation, the creators of the Wallace and Gromit clay-animated short films, present Chicken Run. The story of a group of dynamic chickens, lead by Ginger (Julia Sawalha), determined to fly the coop before they meet a "fowl" fate. Each attempt at escape is thwarted by the evil Mr. Tweedy (Tony Haygarth) and his cantankerous wife Mrs. Tweedy (Miranda Richardson).
Time is running out as Mrs. Tweedy discovers that she can make more money turning chickens into pies than collecting eggs. Enter Rocky Roads (Mel Gibson), a.k.a. the lone free ranger, a.k.a. "Rocky the flying rooster." Rocky lands in the coop with a hurt wing and allows the hens to nurse him back to health and in exchange teaches them to fly—or so they think.
The hens, including Bunty, the egg-
Chicken Run is a mix of dry British humor and American sarcasm. Mel Gibson as the cocky, yet charming American rooster, and Julia Sawalha as the confident British hen have excellent chemistry and produce an interesting culture clash Two minor characters, Nick and Fletcher, two scavenging, coniving rodents, provide hilarious puns as they watch the chickens' attempts at flight.
I give Chicken Run an A+ — 5 stars! It will make you laugh and make you cry (from laughing non-stop). Adults and children alike will enjoy the story of a flock of chickens hatching a plan to see if the grass is, in fact, greener on the other side of the fence.
Rocky and his clucky cohorts flee from the Tweedys' plans to make them into pies. Chicken Run opens this Friday.

Osawatomie to celebrate annual John Brown festival
By BriAnne Hess editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
Osawatomi, dubbed the "Cradle of the Civil War", will begin celebrating its heritage today with the 35th annual John Brown Jamboree.
The festival — five days of concerts, tournaments, car shows, food and other activities — will be at John Brown Memorial Park where in 1856 the Kansan abolitionist led 40 men into one of the first battles preceding the Civil War.
Marilyn Shipley, office manager of city hall, said the festival would kick off tonight with a carnival, continue though the rest of the week, and end late Sunday evening.
The town — about an hour southeast of Lawrence — will have a parade tomorrow at 7:30 p.m., complete with veterans in tanks and humvees. The Presbyterian church will sell hamburgers on its front porch and another church will have an ice cream social.
On Friday, The Messengers, a gospel group from Topeka, will perform at the high school auditorium.

On Saturday, the Jamboree will feature a craft fair, car show, country-western music and a baby contest. A strolling magician/balloon artist will also be in the park, but Shipley said he didn't get to perform much magic when he was in the park at the 1999 jamboree.
"Last year he didn't make it 10 feet because the children were so interested in getting animals made out
of balloons." Shiplev said.

By Samantha Critchell Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK — Samuel L. Jackson is pretty cool, but put him in a black leather jacket and his coolness factor goes off the charts.
Shaft wears street fashions
His sense of fashion, paired with outfits selected by costume designer Ruth Carter, turns New York Police Detective John Shaft into a style icon in John Singleton's update of the '70s "Shaft" films that starred Richard Roundtree and fueled the craze for bell-bottoms and platform shoes.
"Shaft is not too uptown, too downtown, and he's not of the hip-hop generation. His style is of the street," Carter explained during a telephone interview from Los Angeles.
Everyone in Shaft's life is fashion savvy. Shaft hurls the ultimate insult at a Dominican drug lord (Jeffrey Wright) when he says the dealer's outfit is a designer knockoff. In jail, a wealthy murder suspect's shoes are coveted by another prisoner, who is stylishly dressed in the latest hip-hop fashion.
Unrealistic? Not really. New Yorkers — from the richest to the poorest — are very aware of their clothes, Carter said.
"It's expected on the street for you to be fashion conscious, especially for men," said Carter, 40, who visited Madison Avenue shops and Cuban restaurants, and watched the African Day Parade to
The classic Shaft favors a three-quarter-length jacket with raw-cut edges and a wool collar by Giorgio Armani. The rebel Shaft wears a double-breasted Valentino pea jacket. The no-nonsense Shaft wears a leather blazer by Versace. And the approachable Shaft wears a full-length suede jacket, an original designed by Carter.
Jackson wears four leather jackets in the film, each representing one of Shaft's moods.
Ouffitting the cast, which includes Vanessa Williams and Busta Rhymes, required hundreds of leather jackets, Carter said. (Many of the jackets are the victims of gunfire in the film.)
"When you go to New York, you see a thousand different styles of leather jackets on the streets. They are the quintessential New York look, and that's what I was trying to re-create," she said.
see what real people were wearing.
Jackson follows fashion and knows what looks good on him. But he trusted Carter to create Shaft's wardrobe, which is mostly black, and he never looked better. Shaft's look is dark, she said, so he can blend in anywhere.
Carter, who hasn't been able to give up the black in her wardrobe since she moved from the East Coast to Los Angeles, also worked with Jackson in Do the Right Thing and The Great White Hype.
As for Christian Bale, who plays the villainous Walter Wade Jr.
Carter outfitted him in classic suits, mostly by Cerruti, with little variation from outfit to outfit. Bale's character is someone trapped by his own surroundings — and by his clothing, she said.
When Bale's character ventures into the drug lord's world, he puts on clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch that have been adopted into street fashion. But he doesn't know how to pull the look together, and instead of blending in, ends up looking like a preppy yachtman in his plaid shirt and baseball cap.
While acknowledging Hollywood's influence on fashion, Carter said her job is to re-create real life on film, noting that black detectives tend to dress up to gain respect.
"Our job is to keep it real. You can't make it a fashion show in the classic sense," she said. "I'm doing a fashion show for the everyday."
Shaft's signature three-quarter-length leather jacket carries a $1,298 price tag at Emporio Armani stores. There are also mock turtleneck sweaters at $298 and leather pants at $698 based on the Shaft wardrobe created by Armani for Jackson. Could the average New York police detective afford such expensive clothes?
"Heck, no," Carter said. "Shaft is realistic in his style, but maybe not the price points."

Duds designers draw praise at awards
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Any line that remained between the worlds of fashion and entertainment was erased at the American Fashion Awards, often called the Oscars of the fashion world.
Designers Jean-Paul Gaultier, Vera Wang, Betsey Johnson and Kenneth Cole strode the red carpet leading into Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall like runway pros, then watched supermodels and starlets do the same, wearing their designs.'
First the clothes, then the awards
Actress/model Elizabeth Hurley, in a pink strapless column gown, and supermodel Claudia Schiffer, in a black dress with white polka dots and tiers of ruffles, wore Valentino, who won an award for lifetime achievement.
Michael Michele of NBC's "ER" wore a long black tank dress with a pleated bottom by Carolina Herrera. Esther Canadas, one of Donna Karan's favorite supermodels, chose (not surprisingly) an
olive Donna Karan halter-top gown with sequins. Supermodel Naomi Campbell, "Will & Grace" actor Sean Hayes and designer Randolph Duke also walked the red carpet.
Sean "Puffy" Combs, nominated as a new menswear designer for his Sean John clothing line (he didn't win), wore a pink Versace tuxedo. His sneakers had color-coordinated pink stripes. Combs was a standout. Most of the men played it safe in traditional formal wear.
The women were more daring. Halter, sheer and beaded tops were popular. Purple was hot; big designer jewels were not. The pashmina wrap was nowhere in sight, signaling the end of its status as the accessory of the moment.
Now the awards
For the first time in the history of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the winners weren't announced in advance. Both established designers and fresh faces were honored.
Oscar de la Renta won the womenswear award. Helmut Lang, who was nominated in three categories, won the menswear award. Richard
Lambertson and John Truex of Lambertson Trux won the award for accessories. Gaultier received an international award.
Winners of the Perry Ellis Award for new designers were Miguel Adrover for womenswear, John Varvatos for menswear and Dean Harris for accessories.
The awards presentation was patterned after the big-budget Oscar and Emmy shows, with retrospectives and heavy statues.
With images of Barbra Streisand in Scaasi, Cher in Bob Mackie and Gwyneth Paltrow in Ralph Lauren flashing onstage, actress Ellen Barkin paid a special tribute to the Oscars for providing a global stage for fashion designers.
She also thanked the designers "who make it easy for us to walk down the red carpet."
Host Sandra Bernhard wore many outfits during the evening, including a black cowl-neck top, long leather coat and a men's hat. The outfit was a takeoff on Samuel L. Jackson's role as New York Police Detective John Shaft in the new "Shaft" film directed by John Singleton. The film, an update of
the 1970s detective franchise, took in an estimated $21.1 million in its weekend debut.
Bernhard promised — and delivered — a fast and interesting show. After all, the winners were tabulated by Ernst & Young, "the most fashionable accountants," she told the audience. This was in sharp contrast to last year's show, which dragged on for hours.
In presenting the evening's final honor to Valentino, Ashley Judd noted how important designers and their beautiful gowns are to Hollywood actresses.
"I feel utterly gorgeous in this dress," said Judd, wearing Valentino's white scoop-neck tiered gown with fringe at the bottom.
Valentino's acceptance speech was interrupted by several anti-fur protesters. But the crowd drowned out their shouts with applause until security guards removed them from the auditorium. Valentino then made a brief speech — an obvious departure from the Oscars — and graciously said he bowed to the audience and the American public for their support.

Students search for bargain treasures at garage sales
By Karen Lucas writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Vintage tables, shower curtains, CDs, cars, and the occasional double-decker bus are among the hodgepodge that draws KU students to local garage sales.
On their way to Kansas City Saturday, Carolyn Richardson, Hutchinson junior, and Steven Stewart, Leaeworth junior, stopped at a garage sale they spotted in the 2000
block of Massachusetts Street.
For $30, Richardson bought a red Formica table with chrome legs for her new apartment.
"I think it's a good deal," Richardson said. "We saw a similar one at another garage sale that was like $150."
At Cheryl Sharp's sale in the 1400 block of Maple Lane in east Lawrence, Jun Zhang, Lawrence graduate student, pay $2 for nine CDs, including songs by Lorie Morgan and Diamond Rio. Zhang said he had never heard the CDs, but
would use them as background music.
The CDs were among the many odds and ends that seller Cheryl Sharp said she needed to unload because she was getting married and moving to Bermuda. She was asking $12,000 for a silver '88 Honda Civic with 42,000 miles on it. Two baskets of small miscellaneous items, including plastic drinking cans and a dust pan, though, were free.
Lauren MacPherson, Wichita junior, and her boyfriend were also checking out Sharp's sale.
"It's so neat looking at different stuff because you see different aspects of people's lives." MacPherson said.
A wide variety of merchandise is displayed for sale at one of the many Saturday morning garage sales in the Lawrence area. Photos by Jamie Roper/KANSAN

MacPherson — who also raved about a '67 painting of the Sigma Chi fraternity house that she got at garage sale last month — didn't leave Maple Lane empty-handed.
For $1, she walked out with a green velvet magician's hat and silver wand. "It would be nice to wear it to the Renaissance Festival." she said.
A KU student and his wife were the first customers at Janet Muggy's sale on 1300 Road North in Eudora. They bought dishes and a shower curtain, but they passed up the most unusual and most expensive sale item: a white '67 Bristol double-decker bus for $10,000.
"It has an engine problem that's going to take about $5000 to fix." he said.
Her husband, Bill Muggy, is owner of the Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road. He said he used the bus for charter trips and to shuttle students from the residence halls to his store, but that it was no longer in good running condition.
Janet Muggy said she thought someone might be interested in using the bus for a permanent standing business or for advertising.
In the 1900 case of Kentucky Street, Jennifer Casey, Wichita graduate student, and her fiance, Brian Olliges, St. Louis senior, had a garage sale with Casey's sister and brother-in-law, both KU alumni.
"Since we're poor college students, we're trying to be fair and make everything cheap." Casey said.
Among the sale items were a $5 AT&T
Computer, a five-speed women's bike for
$15 and a $1 Dirt devil vacuum cleaner.
Yet a clay Corona beer mug, about 10
Yet a clay Corona beer mug, about 10 inches high, had a $25,000 price tag.
"It's a joke," Olliges said. "If anyone laughs at it, they get it for free."

Tuition for KU students will rise in the fall semester of 2001 at a lower percentage rate for nonresidents than for residents.
At its meeting last week in Topeka, the Board of Regents decided to raise KU tuition by 3 percent for in-state students—$2.20 for undergraduates and $3.25 for graduate students. Out-of-state tuition will increase by 2.5 percent for undergraduates and 2.2 percent for graduate students—an additional $7.50 per credit hour.
A nonresident undergraduate will be billed an extra $112.50.
When the new rates go into effect, the University will charge a resident undergraduate student enrolled in 15 credit hours an extra $33 per semester.
Kansas residents at the other universities in the Regents system also will have a 3 percent tuition increase while increases for nonresidents will range from 2.2 percent to 3.1 percent.
"We feel that we have virtually maxed out the magnitude of nonresident tuition, said
Bill Docking, outgoing board chairman. "If we had increased tuition any more than we had done, then the effect would be we would lose nonresident students."
Tuition for resident undergraduates taking 15 semester hours has risen from $613
in Fall 1990 to $1,045 in Spring 2000, an increase of 71 percent. Tuition for nonresident undergraduates nearly doubled from $2.175 in Fall 1990 to $3.437 in Spring 2000.
Regent Fred Kerr, regent, voted against the board's plan to raise tuition at different percentages for residents and nonresidents.
"My preference was simply to treat all the students — resident and nonresident — the same," he said. "I just think that it is more acceptable to the public and the students in general."
Kerr had favored a plan that would raise
the base tuition by 2.85 percent for both resident and nonresident students.
Ben Walker, student body president, also was disappointed with the approved tuition plan.
"I think under normal circumstances, it might be considered a reasonable step," he said. "But coming on the heels of last year's dramatic increases in tuition, that becomes a slap in the face to students. And it symbolizes the Regents' use of students as a political card in their game with the Legislature."
Last June, the Regents approved a 2.5
percent tuition increase for residents and nonresidents and an additional $3.20 per credit hour increase in December. Those increases will take effect this fall.
Chancellors aet pav raise
The Board of Regents also approved a 2.5 percent raise for Chancellor Robert Hemenway, boosting his salary from $202,428 to $207,489.
The presidents of the other Regents institutions also received a 2.5 percent raise, with the exception of Donald Beggs, president of Wichita State University. The Regents raised Beggs' salary by 3.5 percent so that it would be more comparable to those of presidents at peer institutions, said Regent Clay Blair, the newly elected board chairman.
He also said he wanted to push for higher pay during his tenure as chairman.
The salary increases for the chief executive officers were similar in percentage to those received by other unclassified university employees. Blair said.
"We believe our university presidents and chancellor are doing a fine job, and we need to work with the Legislature to find more ways to compensate them better," he said.

REGENTS' ACTION
The Regents voted to add sexual orientation to their affirmative action and equal opportunity policy.
the Board felt it was important to be inclusive in their non-discrimination policy, and this is an attempt to ensure that," said Kim Wilcox, executive director of the board.
In response to Emporia State University's removal of sexual orientation from its equal opportunity policy in spring 1999, Korb Maxwell, former student body president, presented a proposal to the Student Senate that called for sexual orientation to be included in the Repeats' policy.
In addition to being approved by Student Senate and Faculty Senate, the proposal received endorsements from the KU University Council and the Regents Student Advisory Committee before it was presented to the Regents, said Ben Walker, student body president.
"I think it's a step in the right direction toward equality in the higher education system in the state of Kansas," Walker said. "Secondly, I think it's a good example of a student-initiated proposal passed at the Reagents level."
Maurice Bryan, director of the KU Equal Opportunity Office, said the action taken by the Regents would not affect the University because KU already included sexual orientation in its non-discrimination policy.
Drivers, cyclists strike a compromise
I'll take care of that, okay?
City commissioners adopt safety measure to protect bikers
Gun Club Hill on County Route 1055 south of Lawrence is the scene of frequent conflict between cyclists and motorists. The Douglas County Commission voted last week to require cyclists to ride in single file on a one-mile stretch of the road. Photo Illustration by Craig Bennett/KANSAN
By Jim O'Malley editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
The Douglas County Commission last Tuesday adopted a measure intended to ease tension between drivers and bicyclists on County Route 1055 south of Lawrence.
The commission approved a resolution requiring bicyclists to ride single file on a one-mile stretch of County Route 1055 between N. 800 Road and County Route 458 near Vinland. The commission also directed the county public works department to place signs along the road advising cyclists to ride single file. The county already had paved a two-to-three foot shoulder on parts of the road to improve safety. County officials said that if the measures worked, they would consider extending them to other trouble spots, such as Palmyra Hill north of Vinland.
State law allows cyclists to travel two abreast, but lets local governments regulate the operation of bicycles and prohibit the use of heavily traveled roads by any kind of traffic incompatible with normal and safe traffic movement. The county could have done what DeSoto did last year when it closed a section of 83rd Street to cyclists.
The curvy, hilly stretch of Route 1055 on Gun Club Hill in Douglas County has been the site of conflict between cyclists and drivers for about a year. Last summer, a near-collision involving two cars and cyclists riding three abreast led to a heated exchange of letters in the Lawrence Journal-World. Baldwin resident Dick Walker wrote that the slow-moving cyclists forced him into the left lane where he nearly hit an oncoming car. He wrote that he wouldn't protect cyclists' lives the next time it happened.
Eric Struckhoff, research assistant in molecular biosciences and president of the Lawrence Bicycle Club racing team, wrote that overtaking drivers had the responsibility to avoid colliding with traffic in front of them.
"I did not realize 'motorists' were free to kill at will those they consider in their way," he wrote.
"Nobody forced him to go into the left lane," Struckhoff said. "That was his choice."
He could have slowed down, Struckhoff said.
Struckhoff said Monday that he took Walker's letter as a threat and filed a complaint with the sheriff's department.
"And I've seen it myself," he said
Tom Taul, Douglas County commissioner, said he had heard complaints about cyclists slowing traffic.
"I like to bicycle myself, but cyclists on the road are my pet peeve."
But he said he realized that a few unsafe cyclists could give all cyclists a bad reputation and that drivers' impatience was a problem, too.
"It's a shame that everybody's in such a big hurry now," he said.
Another underlying problem was that county roads weren't designed for the volume of traffic we have now. Taul said.

with the Lawrence Bicycle Club to reach a win-win situation by widening the road as much as it could and adding signs.
Charles Jones, county commissioner, said he met with the club last fall to discuss safety issues.
"My goal was to come up with an arrangement that makes it safer for cyclists and car drivers," he said.
He called widening the road, requiring cyclists to ride single file and putting up signs a bike-friendly compromise.
Leonard Krishtalka, director of the Natural History Museum and an avid cyclist, called the commission's action a wonderful proactive step to promote safety.
Dan Hughes, general manager of the Sunflower Bike Shop. 802 Massachusetts St., said he often rode on the county roads south of town. He thought the real problem was that Kansas had a heavy car culture. He said he wished drivers would realize that every bike on the road meant one less car. Hughes said he considered the commission's action an acceptable compromise.
"It's not a knee-jerk anti-cycling reaction like in DeSoto where they closed a road last year," Hughes said. "If somebody says you can't ride on this road—hey you'll have a fight on your hands."

Leawood man faces hearing in rape, assault of 2 KU women
By Phil Cauthon editor@kansan.com Kansan campus edito
The preliminary hearing for a 21-year-old Leawood man charged with raping a KU student and sexually assaulting another on Halloween has been set for 2 p.m. July 26 before Michael Malone, Douglas County District Court Judge.
The alleged assaults occurred between 7:10 p.m. Oct. 30 and 3 a.m. Oct. 31 during a party in the 1600 block of Tennessee Street.
"We were just getting really hammered and I passed out in my friend's room."
The victims, a 20 year-old woman and 21-year-old woman, both KU students, told police that the assaults happened after they had retreated to separate rooms in the party house to nap.
Rape victim
"We were just getting really hammered, and I passed out in my friend's room," said one of the victims. "I knew something was going on because I was kind of waking up as he was touching me. I just didn't know how long he'd been touching me."
She said the man — whom she had met for the first time at the party — was a friend of her best friend.
The victim said that she couldn't pick the man out of a crowd but that the other victim — her roommate — had identified the man's shoes. Ten witnesses are listed in court records.
The second victim is in Los Angeles for the summer and could not be reached for comment.
The first victim said that she had discussed a plea bargain with Christine Tonkovich, Douglas County district attorney, but that nothing was official yet. Tonkovich declined to comment
Tonkovich declined to comment on the case.

Mexico drops charges against KU grad student
The Mexican government dropped its charges of kidnapping and gang activity filed last week against Mark Horowitz, KU doctoral student of sociology.
Similar charges against seven Mexican workers were also dropped, said Judy Ancel, president of the

Anschutz to integrate government documents
"They're making every effort not to disrupt access to services for researchers." she said.
The Government Documents Library on the sixth floor of Malott Hall will be integrated into the Anschutz Library on July 17, said Mary Rosenbloom, external relations librarian.
Rosenbloom said that the library's first priority was to move the reference services into Anschutz. Access to the documents might be blocked for a few days while the reference materials were moved.
Anschutz then will use a paging system to retrieve documents for students and faculty. A researcher then can fill out a form to request a document and the librarian will retrieve the document and hold it at the desk for the researcher. Denise Stephens, Anschutz librarian, said the process would probably take a few hours.
Stephens said that the fourth floor of Anschutz would offer researchers a lot more space to sit and study the documents, and easier access than Malott Hall.
"Another advantage is there is a lot of multi-disciplinary crossover
between government documents and other areas of research," she said.

Stephens said the move would take two to three weeks.
KANU to reprogram Saturday morning line-up
KANU, the public radio station at the University of Kansas, is shaking up its Saturday programming line-up this week.
The Jazz Scene, hosted for 40 years by Dick Wright, who died in November, will move from its 10 a.m. slot to 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
In its place, KANU will air Michael Feldman's Whad Ya Know?, a comedy quiz show from Madison, Wis. This American Life, a Peabody Award-winning documentary series, will be broadcast at noon.
Darrell Brogdon, program director, said the change came after months of studying the tendency of Saturday listeners to tune the station out.
"We're hoping to build on the popularity of Car Talk and Weekend Edition, which are generally our most popular shows." Brodgon said.
Brogdon said Feldman's show was similar to David Letterman because it has high audience and call-in participation.

Former KU law student to argue against Clinton
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A graduate from the University of Kansas School of Law will argue for President Clinton's disbarment because of his testimony about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
Attorney Marie-Bernardelle Miller, who graduated from KU law school in 1984, will represent the state panel that disciplines lawyers in its disbarment petition in a Little Rock court circuit.
Miller said she was hired on June 7 by the state Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct
COMMITTEE ON POSSESSION CONFERENCE On May 22, the committee recommended that Clinton be stripped of his license to practice law in Arkansas over misleading testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case about his relationship with Lewinsky.
Clinton has said the committee was treating him more severely than other lawyers.
Last fall, Miller presented a case against the first Arkansas judge removed from office for misconduct.
The committee has not filed its petition with the court.

Tick-borne parasite threatens cats in Lawrence area
By K.S. Businger writer@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
A tick-borne disease deadly to domestic cats has moved into the Lawrence area. Cytauxzoonosis, nicknamed Cytaux (promised sixtos), can kill a cat in a few days.
nounced si-xou, can ruff it or just a few days.
"I almost always fatal," said H. D. Lewis
of Lewis Veterinary Clinic, 3101 W. 6th St.
Lewis has seen five cases this spring—the first cases he's positively identified in 31
years of practice in Lawrence.
Another Lawrence veterinarian, Marguerite Ermeling of Gentle Care Animal Hospital, 6th and Kasold streets, has seen three cases this year. She said people usually brought their cats to the vet when they're in the final stage of the disease and there's little a vet can do to help. Ermeling said cat owners should look for symptoms that include lethargy, difficulty breathing, not eating and unusual behavior.
The cats most at risk are those that go outdoors, especially in rural areas. Lewis said cases have been reported from the Tonganoxie and Perry-Lecompton areas. Most of his cases have come from the Clinton Dam area.
Ermeling has had patients from as far away as Eudora.
Domestic cats are an accidental host, Lewis said. The parasite, a one-celled protozoan, prefers bobcats which are plentiful in the area.
Cytaux can live in bobcats without killing them, said Ken Frazier, veterinary pathologist with the University of
Georgia's v. diagnostic labora- tory. Sometimes the bobcats might get a little sick, but they
typically recover and have no further problems even though they remain carriers.
for domestic cats.
It's a different story
Because the disease is new to cats, they haven't developed immunies for it yet. Once
inside a cat, Frazier said, the parasites attack white blood cells that protect the body from invaders. They also attack red blood cells, where they feed and replicate.
The new parasite cells fill the red blood cell to the point of bursting. When the cell bursts, a multitude of new parasites are released into the bloodstream where they find their own red blood cells to feed on and replicate in. And the cycle continues.
The parasites destroy red blood cells too quickly for the cat's body to replace them. The multiplying parasites also release toxins that cause further damage The cat's spleen, liver, lymph nodes and lungs are affected, and death occurs within a few days.
The tick carrier in this area is thought to be the common American Dog Tick, or Dermacentor variabilis. This tick is also a known carrier of Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, a disease that doesn't harm cats, but can be serious for both dogs and people.
Tick activity begins in the spring, peaks in early summer, and declines toward the fall. This year, because of a warmer winter than usual, it could be an especially bad year for ticks.
The best way to keep cats safe, Frazier said, is to check it for ticks and to use tick prevention products.
He said to use only products recommended
for cats because tick

designed for dogs
can be too strong

them.
It's best to remove ticks as quickly as possible. Newly-attached ticks are easier to remove, and less likely to spread any diseases they may be carrying.
---
And adult female ticks could drop off and crawl away to lay thousands of eggs inside home.
The best way to remove a tick is to use
tweezers and grab it by the head area and pull steadily, being careful not to twist, until it comes out.
Owners should not squeeze tick bodies between their fingers when removing ticks from their cats. That can release any diseases they may be carrying onto the fingers. And it can squirt disease from the tick into the host. Nor should owners use hot matches or petroleum jelly to remove ticks from their
cats. Distressing the tick may make it collapse, move ears, and
cats. Dissect it release more saliva and possibly disease.
A welt may appear where the tick has been pulled off. It should be cleaned with disinfectant. Usually, the welt disappears with time but it may leave a bald patch. Owners should wash their hands thoroughly after removing ticks from their cats.
The best way to kill a removed tick is by dropping it in a jar of alcohol. Flushing them down the toilet does not kill them.
Ermeling said research into Cytaux is ongoing and a promising treatment that includes transfusions and medication is in the works.

Hiring laws of physics redefined by department's female professors
By Jim O'Malley editor.kansan.com Kansan co-editor
The department of physics and astronomy at the University of Kansas is one of only 17 physics departments in the United States with at least four female faculty members.
In a study of the status of women in physics published this month, the American Institute of Physics reported that, as of 1998, only 17 doctor-granting physics departments in the United States had four or more female faculty members.
Nationwide, as of 1998, only 8 percent of physics faculty positions were held by women. The KU department has five women, about 17 percent of the 29 faculty members listed on the department's Web site.
Many of the universities on the list have bigger physics departments than the University of Kansas, said Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy.
"I was the pioneer," she said. "It was not fun being the only one. But it's very different now."
Barbara Anthony-Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy, was the first woman in the department when she arrived at the University in 1982.
and couples.
She attributed the University's success in hiring female physicists to luck and aggressive willingness starting eight years ago to hire women
Two of the women in the department are married to other faculty members. Anthony-Twarog said the University had been really willing to accommodate the needs of couples. In the physical sciences, this required a real commitment by the University because the costs of starting up a lab are so high, she said.
And it's probably not a coincidence that Sally Frost Mason, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is a woman and a scientist, Anthony-Twarog said.
She said women in physics were scarce because of the culture of the profession and general social attitudes about sex roles. It goes back to how boys and girls are treated at early ages. And any profession that requires a big commitment of time from people in their late 20s and early 30s can find it hard to attract women who want to start families, Anthony-Twarog said.
Donna Tucker, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, said the department was open to hiring women, but that it was not conducting a concerted campaign to do so. But hiring women had a cascade effect.
"Once you get a few women in a department,it's easier for more women to join it," she said.
Yet women remained especially under-represented in physics, she said, partly because it required a lot of math.
"I was the pioneer. It was not fun being the only one. But it's very different now."
Barbara Anthony-Twarog
Professor of physics and astronomy
"Women are often not encouraged to take math courses, and physics has dealt with a lot of mechanical things." she said.
Linda Olafsen, assistant professor of physics, said she thought the University was gender-blind in hiring faculty. But the presence of women in the department may make it a more attractive place for new faculty members.
"In a lot of departments I interviewed with I would have been the first woman," Olafsen said. "It's hard going into a department where there are no other women."
Hume Feldman, assistant professor of physics, said the department had not made a concerted effort to recruit women, but that its success wasn't entirely accidental.
"I don't know of any male chauvinist pigs here," he said. "But I've seen them in other physics departments."

KU camp trains special athletes

When John Reynolds kicked the soccer ball and knocked down a bright orange marker in a shooting drill, coach Matt Briggs yelled, "Yeah! Give me a big five!"
Reynolds, of Lawrence, and about 50 other athletes, got tips on dribbling, passing and shooting at a soccer clinic Saturday morning near Robinson Center. The clinic was part of the Special Olympics Kansas Sports Camp 2000.
The three-day camp — sponsored by Payless ShoeSource and the University of Kansas — offered instruction in various sports to about 175 individuals ages 8 and older with mental and, in some cases, physical limitations, said Susan Krumm, camp director. The camp ran from Thursday through Saturday on the KU campus.
"What we emphasize is a non-competitive sporting event," Krumm said. "It's an opportunity for the athletes to come out and try new sports or to perfect in sports that they already compete in."
In addition to Briggs — who works for Challenger Sports Corporation in Lenexa, which offers sports clinics and tournaments — the coaching staff included other sports professionals as well as KU coaches and athletes. Also assisting at the camp were the Special Olympics coaches who had brought athletes from various cities in Kansas, Krumm said. "There are a number of them."
"They're wonderful," Krumm said of her coaches. "They have just as much fun as the athletes."
Briggs shared Krumm's enthusiasm.
"You get a sense of fulfillment when you coach players
with disabilities and see them improve and have fun." Briggs said.
Carol Huffman, of Lawrence, taped part of the soccer clinic with her video camera. This was the first time her daughter participated in the Special Olympics.
"I think it's great," Huffman said. "She'll probably do it again. I'll pursue more opportunities like this one."
While most athletes braved the hot, muggy conditions at Saturday morning's clinics, some got to cool off in the afternoon at the pool in Robinson Center.
Cathy Burgess, assistant coach of Kansas women's swimming, gave campers a swimming lesson with the help of Gary Kempf, director of student athlete life, and several members of the men's and women's teams.
"I liked playing in the water," said Diana Crist, an athlete from Burlington.
The participants also attended a swimming pool social, a talent show and a dance.
Jennifer Jones, of Olathe, was one of the campers who took part in a dance performance at Friday night's talent show in McCollum Hall.
"I was doing the Macho Man," she said.
After Saturday afternoon's clinics, the athletes received participation awards at a ceremony in McCollum.
The award for the most inspirational player went to Tessa Rader, of Topeka, who was recovering from a foot injury.
"Even though she couldn't compete, she still went to the practices and competitions." Krumm said.

Physicists to measure, map expanding universe
Science grant lets profs study distortion of light to figure mass of cosmos
By Jim O'Malley editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
Two KU physics professors received a $329,250 National Science Foundation grant to develop methods to more accurately map the universe and to measure its mass — how much stuff there is in the universe.
The universe is expanding and galaxies are moving away from each other and from the earth, said Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy. Although it was easy to determine a galaxy's direction in relation to the earth — just look at it from two angles — it's harder to tell how far away it is.
Hume Feldman, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, said it was like being in a dark field at night.
"If you see a light, how do you know how far away it is?" he said.
Feldman said physicists could measure the velocity of galaxies by using the redshift effect. Elements produce light of distinctive patterns that can be graphed precisely on a spectrum. When the source of the light and the observer are moving away from each other, the wavelength of the light shifts and moves toward the red end of the spectrum. When the light source and observer move closer, the light moves toward the blue end.
But because the distinctive patterns remain the same, physicists can recognize them and measure the amount of the shift which shows the velocity of the object.
because the velocity of the light source. Melott used a joke to illustrate the redshift effect. A guy who was ticketed for running a stop灯 told the judge he was going so fast the red light looked green. So the judge dismissed the red light ticket and fined the guy
$3 billion for speeding.
Feldman said we know the direction of about 100 million galaxies and the velocity of about 1 million.
"With that, we can make a map of the universe," Feldman said.
Melott said that was the good news. But the bad news was that galaxies weren't moving in straight lines.
"Iimagine a cloud of particles expanding, but buzzing around locally," he said.
The grant is for determining the strength of the distorting effect from local motion, Melott said. From that, physicists can determine how much mass there is in the universe.
Even as they generally move away from each other, galaxies are falling toward one another locally, probably because of gravity, he said. This local motion distorts a person's picture of the universe.
"We know that local motion is the result of gravity," Melott said. "We don't know how much mass there is in the universe, but the more mass, the stronger the distortion will be."
When the amount of mass in the universe is known, physicists will be able to tell if the universe will expand forever or eventually collapse.
Melott said his best estimate was that the universe contained only 30 percent of the mass necessary to stop the universe from expanding.
Ten percent of the grant was earmarked for undergraduate participation in the project and 15 percent was for graduate research, Melott said.
Brian Thomas, Lawrence graduate student, was already working on the project.
"I started this month," he said. "I'm doing the grunt work. That's what graduate students are for."

KU biologist's claim ruffles feathers in bird-dinosaur evolution debate
Professor challenges dominant evolutionary theory with new find
The fossilized remains of Longisquama insignis stir up debate over whether birds descended from dinosaurs. Larry Martin, KU paleontologist, said that Longisquama, which co-existed with the first dinosaurs had feathers, supporting his view that birds did not descend from dinosaurs. Contributed photo.

Special to the Kansan
Feathers dominate the long-standing debate on the origin of birds, which recently was rekindled by a KU professor's article in the June 23 issue of Science magazine.
The article by Larry Martin — senior curator at the Natural History Museum at the University of Kansas and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology — challenges the dominant theory that birds descended from dinosaurs.
Martin and his co-authors describe elongated structures on Longisquama insignis — tiny, tree-dwelling creatures that lived approximately 220 million years ago — that they claim are feathers.
"One of the big problems with the bird-dinosaur idea is that you really can't be older than your grandmother." Martin said.
Longisquama, which means "long scales," lived at the same time as the first dinosaurs, but 70 million years before Archaeopteryx, the first bird. Martin said.
He believes Longisquama was a feathered reptile that glided from tree to tree. According to Martin, the ancestor of birds came from one of several arboreal species of reptiles contemporaneous with Longisquama.
Many scientists cite new evidence for the claim that birds descended from dinosaurs and dispute Martin's classification of Longisunaiana's elongated structures as feathers.
"They're trying to broaden the definition of feather structure to include these," said David Burnham, a KU paleontologist. "But in modern terms this is not a feather. They just happen to be structures that share some features with feathers. There's not even enough there to tell us if that is a little dinosaur or not."
Richard Prum, associate professor of ornithology, recently published a paper on the evolutionary origin of feathers. He maintains that birds descended from dinosaurs.
"I think that the similarities between Longisquama and bird feathers are entirely superficial in the same way that a leaf could be identified as a feather," Prum said. "My real problem is that there is no evidence of branching."
He describes the structures as "unique intersegmentary appendages found on the back of Longisquama."
Martin maintains that the structures are feathers because they share ten of twelve diagnostic feather features, including the feather sheath, which is critical in feather development.
But to Burnham, Prum and others the same features demonstrate that the structures are not feathers
According to Martin, feathers first appeared
in Longisquama and its relatives — the ancestors of birds — and then evolved again thousands of years later in dinosaurs.
If Longisquama and dinosaurs were related they would diverge,but instead the characters converge.Martin said, referring to the similarities between the feathers on dinosaurs and Longisquama.
According to Martin, the split in opinion runs between paleontologists, who study fossils, and ornithologists, who study birds.
Burnham countered that it is improbable that feathers evolved twice. He said it was more likely that all feathered organisms descended from a single ancestor with feathers.
"Paleontologists, almost without exception,
believe that birds are living dinosaurs, but most ornithologists believe that birds descended from small arboreal reptiles at an early point," Martin said. "Paleontologists are in the press a lot more, and I'm more prominent in my opposition because I'm a paleontologist."
Prum. an ornitholoeist. disagreed.
"That's totally incorrect. Most ornithologists don't have an informed opinion. The real dichotomy is between those who use modern phylogenetics and those who use nineteenth century methods."
The Science article is attracting extensive media coverage, and some reports have skewed the facts, Martin said.
Martin said the recent collaboration began when Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo., planned an exhibit of Russian dinosaurs in January 1999.
"The planners came to me and asked if there
"I think that the similarities between Longisquama and bird feathers are entirely superficial in the same way that a leaf could be identified as a feather."
associate professor of ornithology
was anything special that I wanted to see included, and I asked for Longisquama," Martin said.
Longisquama was first reported in 1970 by a Russian insect specialist and remained in Russia until it was brought to Kansas City according to Martin.
Richard Prum
Martin said he organized a conference on bird origins and lured prominent researchers by offering an opportunity to study Longisquama.
"We looked at the specimen and realized it was much more important than we thought."
The group of researchers, which co-authored the article, held a second conference several months later to polish its findings. Now, Martin plans to study the feathers and the bony structure of Longisquama in more detail.
"There are other animals related to Longisquama that are similar," Martin said. "This is not a one-shot deal."

SCHOOL BUS
the grandstands of the new Kansas City Speedway are under construction. The track is expected to be completed late this fall. The new NASCAR track, in
Wvandottate County, will seat 75,000 fans and will bring an estimated $200 million to the local and state economies. By Jamie Roper/KANSAN
NASCAR brings change to Lawrence
By Scott M. Lowe Jr.
By Scott M. Lowe Ji writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
When NASCAR arrives in nearby Wyandotte County, Lawrence may benefit from an economic boom, according to the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
A fiscal study by Coopers and Lybrand, L.L.P., estimates that the construction of the Kansas City Speedway - which is to be completed late this fall
— will generate $200 million in the local and state economy. The track will seat 75,000 fans, and there are plans to expand it to 150,000. Along I-70, communities are stretching to accommodate the accompanying traffic and construction.
"We've sold race passes in 44 states," said Stan Tate, director of public relations at the speedway. "Most of these people will be coming from the west, and driving through Lawrence on I-70."
The speedway is located west of the intersection of I-70 and I-435. This intersection is the largest in Kansas, and work has begun to widen the exit ramps at the speedway.
"We plan on marketing the track toward motor sports fans in regional states: Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Iowa and Nebraska." Tate said.
Although there are plans for a track outside Chicago, the Kansas City Speedway will be the only one of it's kind in the Midwest.
"This will definitely impact the city of Lawrence," said Mike Wildgen, Lawrence City Manager. "Our airport is the closest, and in the future, people who work at the track might live here."
Lawrence Municipal Airport will be the affected the most. The airport has already been contacted by race teams seeking to fly there instead of Kansas City International Airport. With increased plane traffic comes the need for more hotels and travel services.
"The Aviation Advisory Board has had some serious planning to do," said Debi Moore, senior vice-president of economic development at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. "Along with airport needs, we'll consider car rental, lodging, helicopter service and limousines."
Lloyd Hedrick, base operator at Lawrence's
airport, said that Lawrence can expect to see 30 to 40 heavy aircraft during race weeks-far beyond its capacity.
Lawrence has asked the federal government for money to expand the airport. The city would have to pay for 10 percent of the costs. The plan has yet to be approved.
Hedrick said that the Lawrence airport needed to expand the runway and the area where planes are parked.
"This will be a challenge for every airport in the area," he said.
Race weekends are huge because, unlike football fans, some race fans come as early as Wednesday for a Saturday race to see qualifying, practice and time trials. Moore said
The track has already benefited some local businesses. The Pine family, farmers just outside Lawrence, won the bid to supply the speedway with grass for the infield, which will cover between 12 and 15 acres.
The Chamber of Commerce predicts that more local small businesses will profit.

Former Heisman winner, Yale alum dies at age 85
The Associated Press
HIGHTSTOWN, N.J. — Larry Kelley, the second winner of the Heisman Trophy, died yesterday at his home. He was 85.
Kelley won the Heisman, college football's highest individual honor, in 1936, after an AllAmerica season as a receiver at Yale.
On Nov. 13, 1934, Yale recorded one of its greatest upsets when Kelley made a one-handed grab of a 49-yard pass from quarterback Jerry Roscoe, scoring the only touchdown in a 7-0 victory that snapped Princeton's 15-game winning streak
A play by Kelley against Navy in 1936 prompted a change in the football rule book.
With Yale trailing 7-6, a Navy player fumbled a punt. The loose ball bounced off Kelley's foot and toward the goal line. He fell on it at the Navy 2-yard line, and two plays later, Clint Frank scored the winning touchdown for Yale. Afterward, rule makers dictated that free balls that are kicked are dead at that point.
In December 1999, Kelley became the second Heisman Trophy winner to auction his prize to the public. His trophy sold for $328,110—$100,000 more than the price paid for O.J. Simpson's Heisman in February 1999.
Kelley had suffered a stroke six months earlier and said he wanted to raise money for his 18 nieces and nephews. His wife, Mary Ruth, was also of failing health. The couple had no children.
"I'm 84 and not doing too good, so I decided to let go of all my memorabilia," he said.
Officials at the Downtown Athletic Club, the site of the annual Heisman award presentation, were saddened by Kelley's decision. The 1936 Heisman was the first to bear the name of coach John Heisman.
Born in Ohio, Kelley was raised in Williamport, Pa. He graduated from Williamport High School in 1932 and completed a year of postgraduate studies at the Peddie School, a private academy in Hightown, before attending Yale.
During his senior year at Yale, he served as captain of the football and baseball teams and also played varsity basketball
Kelley returned to the Peddie School to teach and coach football for several years. He also taught at the Cheshire Academy in Cheshire, Conn. He then returned to the Peddie School, where he served as alumni director until he retired in 1975.
Jay Berwanger, who won the first Heisman Trophy in 1935 while at the University of Chicago, signed autographs with Kelley a few weeks ago at an event in New York, sponsored by the Downtown Athletic Club.
"He was a grand person," said Berwanger, 86.
Kelley was elected to the National Football Hall of Fame in 1969.
Survivors besides his wife include a brother-in-law, two sisters-in-law, and 18 nieces and nephews.
Funeral arrangements were incomplete yesterday. They are being handled by Glackin-Saul Funeral Home in Hightown.

Church panel urges same-sex union ban
The Associated Press
LONG BEACH, Calif. — A Presbyterian Church panel recommended on Tuesday that the church's General Assembly approve a ban on same-sex union ceremonies.
The recommendation comes a month after the church's highest court ruled that congregations may conduct religious ceremonies celebrating gay unions that stop short of marriage.
A 25-22 vote recommending the ban followed impassioned testimony on proposed amendments to the Book of Order, the church constitution, before the Committee on Physical and Spiritual Well-being.
If the 560-member assembly, the chief policy-setting body for the 2.6 million-member Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), passes the amendment during its meeting here this week, approval must then be sought from ordained ministers and elders nationwide.
Two ministers and an elder argued for the ban on grounds that permitting individual churches to perform blessing ceremonies for gay and lesbian couples, even if the services stop short of marriage, implies that the church condones same-sex relations.
The General Assembly approved a ban on same-sex unions in 1995, but that amendment failed to win ratification by the nationwide presbyteries.
Issues involving the role of homosexuals in the church were brought to the forefront of the annual meeting when gay and lesbian activists and supporters demonstrated outside Sunday's opening gathering.
Supporters of same-sex unions were disap pointed.
"This was a chance for us to say we believe in families, we believe in couples and relationships, and we didn't take it," said Katie Morrison, 28, of Oakland, a gay candidate for the ministry.
The recommended amendment states that church officers may not perform such ceremonies and that they cannot be conducted on church property or use church resources.
A proposal to allow individual ministers to make their own choices on the matter was defeated 26-20, and a resolution for the church to support civil legislation to enact laws permitting same-sex unions was defeated 29-17.
- Opponents of same-sex blessings told the panel that allowing the practice to continue
"We cannot bless an act or behavior that we also call a sin," said Elder Ed Gobel of the Tampa Bay Presbytery in Florida, which proposed one of the three amendments.
as a "friendly blessing" would be akin to performing civil union ceremonies for polygamists.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) prohibits gays and lesbians from marrying within the church or serving as ministers, but it does not exclude them from practicing the faith.
The Rev. Bruce Powell of the Charlotte, N.C., Presbytery argued that church officials should not view banning same-sex unions as an act of prejudice.
"Some will accuse us of being exclusive because of fear, anger and even hatred." Powell said. "Please don't believe this rhetoric because it's not true. The issue is biblical authority."
The Rev. Tricia Dykers Koenig of the Western Reserve Presbytery argued that ministers should be able to decide for themselves whether to bless gay and lesbian couples.
She said predominantly homosexual congregations could disappear if recognition of their relationships was prohibited.

Cat Show
A
Cat owners from around the Midwest were in Lawrence for the Kansas City Midwest Cat Club's 40th annual cat show at the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds. The show was held last weekend.
On the CATwalk
Joyce
Feline fanciers show their purebred, rare, household pets
Simply divine
The fluffy orange Persian cat stretched languidly on her back on a gold lamet quilt as her owner prepared her for competition by carefully combing her belly fur.
Scenes like this at the Kansas City Midwest Cat Club's 40th Annual Cat Show last weekend at the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds illustrate a joke popular among cat fanciers: A dog thinks, "Humans feed me, take care of all my wants, and love me. They must be gods." But a cat thinks, "Humans feed me, take care of all my wants, and love me. I must be a god."
Ninety-seven cats from the royally-treat-
fish cats from the royally-treated purebred Persian on gold lame to royally-treated household pets competed in several categories in the weekend show. Twenty-three breeds were represented in the
show, said club president Jody Lawson
Lawson said

duce,
A world of its own
"I didn't have a cat until about four years ago when my son brought home a cat he'd rescued," she said. "The minute you hold one in your arms and it purrs one time, you're hooked."
Eudora cat breeder Kenna Duerr is a show judge and a board member of the American Cat Fancier's Association. She said judging cat shows is a world of its own. Judges have to undergo rigorous training to know the characteristics of the different breeds.
Cats have to be show-trained, too, Duerr said. They are trained from kittenhood so they're not disturbed by being picked up by judges and stretched out to see how long they are. Show cats need to be content in a cage and have to get used to the toys judges use to see their reactions.
Duerr said that cat fanciers recognize new breeds of cats occasionally. A breed can be recognized only if it is at least five generations removed from wild cats. And there can be only one wild cat in a pedigree.
Duerr raises Abyssinian cats. They look like miniature mountain lions, she said.
"But they're apt to lick you to death rather than damage your body," she said. "They appeal to me because the Abyssinian is not a cat. It's a four-footed, fur-covered person."
duce," she said.
"The closer the wild blood, the more temperamental the cats are, and the more wild cat pheromones they produce." she said.
pheromones make a lot of the show cats go crazy."
And crazy cats are hard on judges, she said. Big Boys
The Maine Coon cat is a relatively new breed but is now second in popularity to Persians. Maine Coon cat owner Jean Eckrich said Persian cats were the most popular breed but that Maine Coon cats were getting close.
Lawrence cat fancier Susan Embretson said the long-haired cats were first found in Maine and were recognized as a breed about 30 years ago.
"Their behavior is kind of like a raccoon's," she said. "They like water, and like to swish their food around in the water."
The color varies. Brown tabby is common, but Embretson's two Maine Coon cats, Commodore and Sunny, are a silver tabby and a light red, or cameo, tabby with a white undercoat.
"They're known as the gentle giants," said cat fancier Karen Rose.
These are *big* cats. Males run 12 to 18 pounds, and females eight to 12 pounds
Her Maine Coon cat, Rose Petals Yumasun's Osage Sunfire, is only 10 months old, but already weighs 15 pounds.
"We think he's going to be a pretty big boy," she said. "They take four to five years to reach their full growth. He was neutered at nine months. He's my proof that an early neuter does not stunt their growth."
Rose said her cat was called Danny for short, after Danny Kaye, because he has red hair like the singer.
Club president Lawson said Maine Coon cats were very loving.
"They like to be in the same room with you and will follow you from room to room." she said.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness
Getting a cat ready for a show can be a big job. Rose said she bathed her cats on weekends for a couple of weeks before a show, and again on the day she left for the show. She said she first washed her cats in Goop,
a de-greaser, because Maine Coon cats have oily skin. She follows the Goop with Dawn dish detergent and then a shampoo — different types for different fur colors.
"For red, I use 'Filthy Animal shampoo,' she said.
Rose raises cats at Rose Petals Cattery in Nevada, Mo.
"A cattery is to a cat what a kennel is to a dog," she said. "But we don't have cages. We raise them lovingly underfoot."
Rumpies and stumpies
Al and Theresa Buehler entered their purebred Manx cat, Foxer Chasing Stars to the Sky (Chase for short), in the show. Manx cats are distinguished by their lack of a tail.
Theresa Buehler said Chase was a "rumpy" — a Manx with no tail at all. Some Manxes are "stumpies" — with vestigial tails that disqualify them from competition. And some are born with full tails.
"They're a really good people's cat," Buehler said. "They get close to one person and tolerate the rest. They're a dominant cat. They look in the mirror and they see a lion, not a cat. But they have a sweet disposition."
Chase is attached to Al Buehler. The Buehlers said that before Chase was neutered, he showed his attachment by spraying Al a couple of times.
“Something you'd want to take home”
Tammy Rand, Newton, Iowa, cat fancier, brought Orbit and Silo to the show. They're not purebreds, but household pets from the rescue league, she said. They do well in the household pets category.
Rand said purebred cats were judged on how close they were to the ideal body form and coloring of the different breeds. But there's no ideal form or color for household pets, so they are judged on cleanliness and disposition.
"Something you'd want to take home," she said. "Judges enjoy this category because they can just decide, 'I like this cat.'"

The Creatine Question
Performance-enhancing drug's long-term effects unknown
By Gary Cloward
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kanon
Tim Bowers, a Kansas football player, took a drug called Creatine to pack on the pounds fast and speed along his strength training during the season.
Despite warnings from University of Kansas trainers and researchers that creatine-monohydrate — a legal and widely-used drug — may have unknown long-term side effects, Bowers continued to take the drug regularly.
“It's really not a concern to me,” said Bowers, a senior linebacker on the Kansas football team last year. “I guess, it's kind of in the future and you don't worry about things like that. Plus this will probably be the last year I use it, unless I go on to the NFL or something. And I don't think I've used it long enough or anything for it to have much of an effect.”
Fred Roll, director of strength conditioning, administers Creatine to the football team and is wary only of higher doses of the drug.
"It's an American syndrome of more is better — and that's not always true with this stuff," Roll said. "I think you need to be careful with how much you take."
The football team is the only program on campus that is supplied Creatine by the athletic department, but any individual can buy it over the counter.
"We supply Creatine for scholarship athletes," Roll said. "The amount we give is determined by our team doctors."
Roll tells those who volunteer to
Performance-enhancing drugs are a prevalent part of the sports society. Ranging from nasal sprays to pills and powders, these drugs are used for performance, regardless of future repercussions.
When using Creatine on the team, there are strict policies the individual must abide by, including signing a document stating that they will not consume more than what is given to them by team doctors.
use Creatine that, at this point,
there is no proof of long-term side
effects, and that they may be taking
a chance by using the drug.
Lawrence Magee, Senior Student Health Physician at Watkins Health Center and Lawrence physician, said that the primary problem with a drug like Creatine, which is new to the market, is the lack of knowledge about the long-term and lasting effects of the drug on the body.
Members of the team have approached Roll after feeling that they have gained all they can naturally and want to give Creatine a try.
Creatine began to be used in the mid-1990s. Today, it is one of the most commonly used supplements.
The use of Creatine increases body mass and strength within a narrow spectrum of activity, mainly weight training.
"Overall, there have not been any confirmed reports of bad side-effects but, on the other hand, there hasn't been a lot of research done into the long-term side effects of Creation," Maege said.
Magee is researching the extensive use and lasting effects of the drug.
"What we try to do is to look at what may be more of some of the potentially dangerous problems that
you could possibly develop using Creatine. "Magee said, 'We are not saying that you are going to the. Two areas we've looked at are the muscle/skeletal system and the other is the cardiovascular system."
A form of the drug is naturally produced by the kidneys, but it is still unclear if adding more Creatine to the system is harmful to the body.
"Creatine has been a nutritional substance that has been used very widely by a large number of people the last four to six years." Magge said. "Anytime you have that large number of people using a substance, there are a lot of misconceptions about it. What the research has shown is it does help increase body weight although most of this is probably fluid retention."
Magee is addressing fluid retention in the muscle, which causes it to expand, adding pressure against the muscle compartments.
"What we have tried to concentrate on is trying to take some of the research findings with Creatine and applying them to a clinical setting." Magee said.
Magee's first study focused on the legs because leg muscle compartments are tighter and the results are easier to determine. The lower leg of the body is divided into several distinct compartments that have tough fibrous capsules. The normal muscle will swell about 20 percent with intensive exercise.
"There has to be enough space in that compartment for the muscle to expand, to accommodate the swelling," Magee said. "In certain individuals, either the spaces are too tight or the muscle swells too
much and develops increased pressure in response to exercise, and there is damage to the muscle."
After studying muscle biopsies and compartment pressure measurements, the group who used Creatine had a significant increase in compartment pressure. Magee said.
"This doesn't mean that you shouldn't take Creatine," Magee said. "But it puts up a red flag concerning one of the things you need to be on the lookout for — and one of the potentially harmful side effects that some people might have with Creatine, especially in higher dosages."
Another possible side-effect that Magee is looking for is high blood pressure.
"There is some concern that because of the fluid retention Creatine may also cause elevation of blood pressure," Magee said. "Not to the extent of being an acute problem like causing a stroke, but to the extent that anytime you have elevated blood pressure that is not treated for an extended amount of time there is some long-term problem with cardiovascular disease. So theoretically, if Creatine does elevate blood pressure then this could be a problem, especially if used for long periods of time."
While researchers attempt to determine the possible long-term side effects of Creatine, the drug circulates in the blood of athletes like Bowers, retaining water, enlarging muscles and perhaps putting their future in jeopardy.

Aspiring actresses strike a pose

Special to the Kansan
Imagine having a dream of becoming a famous actress and starring opposite Al Pacino in a new movie. This dream will soon become a reality for someone because of a nation-wide casting call from New Line Cinema for the upcoming movie, Project Hollywood.
"I'm not sure of the reason for the nationwide call," said Heather Laird, 1995 University of Kansas alumna and principal owner of Wright/Laird Casting in Kansas City. Mo. "My guess is the producers want to parallel the casting with the story line, which is about the discovery of an-unknown, named Simone, who becomes a big star."
Wright/Laird Casting was contacted about four weeks ago by New Line Cinema and began informing the media in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Colorado about the casting call that was Saturday, Laird said.
About 400 women traveled to North Kansas City High School in
Missouri to audition for the role.
Women filled out questionnaires about their height, hair and eye color, age and special skills.
They then waited in the auditorium for their turn to speak in front of a camera. Some women played with their hair, spoke nervously to others and discussed what to say. The back of the auditorium was speckled with stage moms, boyfriends and other supporters of the aspiring actresses.
"I felt like a dork because I didn't know what to say at first," said Barbra Wathanacharoen, KU alumna with a degree in theater and film. "I said I was a speech and theater teacher and that I wanted to be in the movie because my last acting job was such a blast. I was in a local low-budget horror film where I played a college student and a zombie."
The women were told to speak for about 20 seconds to explain why they wanted to be in the movie and to tell something interesting about themselves.
"I was a little nervous in front of the camera," said Angela Cross, '00 alumna. "I wasn't talking loud
enough and I kind of babbled about school and said that I'm planning on studying psychiatry, but I'd take time out to make a movie."
Although some of the women had life-long dreams of becoming famous actresses, a few participated in the casting call for the unique experience. "I wasn't nervous, but it was a little awkward being in front of the camera; it's not like this is something I've always dreamed about," said Katy Martin, Lawrence junior. "I said that I'm a dance major at KU, I love to perform and if they are looking for someone with a brain and discernible personality, I'm their girl."
The auditioners were informed about the casting call by articles in the Lawrence Journal-World and from watching the local TV news.
"My little sister was watching the news one morning and woke me up to tell me about the casting call," said Bailee Platt, Gardner, who will be a freshman in the fall. "I rushed around to get pictures taken and I was nervous the whole time until I was in front of the camera. It's a
good thing I speak well in front of cameras."
Zabrina Payne, Lawrence senior, said she read an article in the Laurence Journal-World.
"I thought 'this is a one-in-a-million chance to be in the movies.'" she said.
If the producers are interested, the women will be contacted to return to read from the script.
Wright/Laird Casting, co-owner by Jack Laird, professor of University Theatre, is a full-time. full-service casting company established seven years ago.
Services include casting of actors and actresses for the theater, motion pictures, feature films, made-for-TV shows, mini-series, national commercials and local and regional TV spots, Laird said.
"We cast 1,500 extras and 47 speaking roles in the movie Ride With The Devil," Laird said. "We also did casting for Mars Attacks, the HBO movie, Truman, starring Gary Sinise, and many other shows."

Look it over and choose a firm, symmetrical watermelon without any bruises, cuts or dents.
Select a heavier watermelon — it is 92 percent water, and this accounts for most of its weight.
The bottom of the watermelon should have a yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun.

Innovative duo plots new course for jazz
By Derek John Special to the Kansan
Despite its name, the Chicago Underground Duo is not a shadowy pair of comic book-inspired crime fighters. This dynamic duo has no underground lair and the only thing they're fighting on their new album, Synesthesia, might be the rigid conventions of the jazz establishment.
Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor are the Duo. They are part of the Thrill Jockey consortium of musicians who revolve around the label's popular sugar-coated progressive rockers, The Sea and Cake. Accomplished musicians, Mazurek and Taylor are well-versed in the Chicago school of post modern. lazz-inflected electronic music.
This music is exemplified in the lush soundscapes of Tortoise, one of Thrill Jockey's many side projects. It is closely imitated by labelmates Isotope 217, and by rival Bubble Core acts, Mice Parade and The Dylan Group. It has become a contender in the battle over jazz's future direction. As neo-traditionalists headed by Wynton Marsalis weigh in against a variety of experimental and improvisational forms, a new forward-thinking kind of jazz music, relying heavily on electronic sounds like those on Synesthesia, seem to be an increasingly viable option.
The amazing fullness of sound on the album is created by just two musicians. Much of the credit is due to Thrill Jockey John McEntire, one of the masterminds behind The Sea and Cake and Tortoise. Although he is first a drummer, he proves to be just as talented and capable as a sound engineer on Synesthesia.
Another veteran of The Sea and Cake, Sam Prekop, plays a Moog synthesizer on a track, demonstrating his gratitude to Mazurek and Taylor for their previous efforts on his self-titled Thrill Jockey release. But on Synesthesia, Mazurek and Taylor have the spotlight and appear very comfortable under its glare.
True to form, the tracks on the album have very abstract titles, such as "Blue Sparks" from "Her and the Scent of Lightning." But the music presents itself as something special, something different, something very interesting for the ear. Mazurek uses his often-muted cornet, electronics, and "found sound" to construct intricate melodies out of seemingly unstable free improvisations in the tradition of Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, and Miles Davis during his electric years.
Review
Meanwhile, Taylor lays down loose lines of percussion and chimes in on the vibraphone at just the right moments.
Quite a few of the original compositions begin with far-out Sun Ra-influenced bursts of creativity, but fuse seamlessly into equally spontaneous grooves established by the shuffling beats of Taylor's drum kit. Eventually even this sound melts into repetitive figures on the vibes, which then seem to fade into the distance, as if relishing its one-way ticket to the far reaches of the cosmos.
The sixth track, Labyrinth, is especially effective. The first part of the song is filled with Taylor's shimmering solo work on a variety of cymbals and other Eastern-tinged percussion instruments. Then Mazurek's muted cornet subtly weaves a tapestry of complementary pitches, upholding the intentionally icy tone. Below Mazurek's hauntingly beautiful expressions, glides an engaging warm pattern on Taylor's vibraphone that seems attuned to the Earth's orbit through the solar system.
Thrill Jockey bills this debut from The Chicago Underground Duo as "free music for free people, at home with your jazz stacks, works with your dance tracks." Sure, why not? But this music goes even further on its genre-busting excursion. A magnificent example of what happens when open-minded musicians realize the full potential of jazz in the present tense, Synesthesia could, contrary to its name, be the reawakening of the rebirth of cool.
—This album can be heard during Jazz in the morning on KJHK 9.7 F.M. every weekday morning from 6 to 9. The jazz request line is 864-4747.

Summer concert tours offer diverse music choices
Associated Press Writer
Bv David Bauder
NEW YORK - Teen favorites "Sync or Diana Ross" ersatz Supremes? Voluble folkie Bob Dylan or foul-mouthed rapper Eminem? Young costumed shock rockers Slipknot or retiring costumed shock rockers Kiss?
Music fans won't lack for choices in what's expected to be a busy summer concert season.
"What you've got is the most diverse concert season in a long time," said John Scher, president of Metropolitan Entertainment, a top Northeast promoter.
For much of the 1990s, veteran rock acts dominated the summer touring season and some promoters worried about whether young musicians had enough appeal to take over. That doesn't seem to be a concern anymore.
'N Sync is selling out stadiums, and Britney Spears is doing well, despite a controversy over how
much she is actually singing in concert. Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera will be on the road later in the summer, and Nickelodeon is sponsoring a package tour featuring LFO, B Witched and others.
"There are more acts geared to kids," said industry analyst Bob Grossweiner. "Young teens are going to concerts for the first time."
Warped Tour.
There are plenty of other young acts performing in a variety of styles. Eminem, who has ruled the charts this spring, is part of the Up In Smoke package with Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg, which promoters say may turn out to be one of the most successful rap tours ever.
Slipknot and Seventend headline the Tattoo the Earth tour, one of several packages in the competitive hard rock field. Green Day and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones are among 20 punk-oriented bands that will race through sets on the
Musicians took in a record $1.5 billion in ticket revenue last year, most of it during the busy summer season, according to Pollstar magazine, an industry trade publication.
"I would not be surprised to see the record gross exceeded this year," said Gary Bongiovanni, Pollstar editor. "We have a healthy economy, a lot of acts out touring, and ticket prices have inched up again."
Ticket prices averaged $43.63 among the 50 most popular tourists last year, a whopping $10 increase over the year before. Prices are still going up, although not as quickly. Bongiovanni said.
"We haven't had any backlash on concert ticket prices," Grossweiner said. "The higher-priced tickets sell out first. People want to be close rather than in the bleachers somewhere."
Punk rockers Blink 182 are going against the grain, selling some of its tickets as low as $15.
In addition to 'N Sync, the Dave
Matthews Band and country singer George Strait are playing some of the summer's biggest shows in stadiums. The Backstreet Boys are expected late this summer or fall.
Metallica is headlinning a brief but big tour with Korn, Kid Rock, Powerman 5000 and System of a Down. Ozzy Osbourne's annual Ozfest features Godsmack, Kittie and Queens of the Stone Age. With AC/DC rattling eardrums and Kiss headlinning a farewell tour, it's a busy hard rock summer.
Despite the youthful competition, plenty of veteran acts are on the road. Among the unusual events: The Who are on another comeback tour, Jimmy Page is continuing his collaboration with the Black Crowes, and former Beach Boy Brian Wilson is performing the band's classic "Pet Sounds" album with an orchestra.
Doubt and Pearl Jam are on the road, and Bruce Springsteen wraps up a yearlong reunion with the E Street Band.
Santana, a hot ticket after his Grammy Awards sweep, is on tour with Macy Gray. Turning, Steely Dan, Tina Turner, Don Henley, No
Then there are the perennials, acts that seem to tour every year but still have a big following: Dylan, the Allman Brothers Band, the Moody Blues and Jimmy Buffett. Nostalgic fans can also hear Def Leppard, Poison and the Go-Go's.
Double bills that should prove popular include the Red Hot Chili Peppers touring with the Foo Fighters, Counting Crows with Live, and Natalie Merchant with Wilco.
Industry analysts say Ross' tour is shaping up as the summer's biggest disaster. It is suffering from spotty ticket sales and terrible publicity, after two original Supremes refused to join because they weren't getting paid enough.
With Lilith Fair shut down, Grossweiner said there were few women singers on the road.

Chautauqua portrays history
StudentUniverse.com
800-272-9676
Those interested in hearing Teddy Roosevelt's views on the turn of the century can go back in time to Independence, Kan., this weekend.
By BriAnne Hess editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
The community is sponsoring a Great Plains revision of the
Chautauqua—a festival where actors portray historical characters—Friday through Tuesday at its Riverside Park and Zoo.
The Chautauqua was started by two New York Methodist ministers in 1875 as a evangelical tool, but was later converted to an educational tool.
ROAD TRIP
"We're hoping the community can experience what our forefathers experienced and understand what they did," said April Nutt, community coordinator.
This year, the theme is to honor people from 1915.
Jane Addams, an activist who helped immigrants receive an education and find jobs at the Hull House in Chicago will kick off the Chautaqua at 7 p.m. on Friday under the red, white and blue tent
Booker T. Washington, an African-American educator, will speak on Saturday. Charles Eastman, a Lakota Sioux and Native American rights activist, will speak on Sunday. Andrew
Carnegie, noted phil-
anthropist will speak on Monday, and former president
Theodore Roosevelt,
will speak at 4 p.m.
on Tuesday.
The celebration will officially kick off
tomorrow night with an old-fashioned pig roast and a local band that performs music from the early 1900s. Schwan's also will be giving away ice cream.
"This is the way Independence wanted to celebrate the Fourth of July, the new millennium and our past." Nutt said. She said she expected 3,000 to 5,000 visitors during the weekend.

Museum exhibits eclectic collection
By Scott M. Lowe Jr.

Kansas staff writer
An art exhibit entitled "December 1, 1999" is on display until August 6 at the Raymond White gallery in the Spencer Museum of Art.
It includes NASA moon photographs and other contemporary photography, Asian art, prints, books and a glass candlestick.
"We just wanted to show a cross section of the types of things we can get," said Andrea Norris, director of the museum for 12 years.
She said the exhibit was named for the day it was developed.
"The curators had an interesting meeting that day," Norris said. "We were able to acquire a collection which was very diverse and different, yet somehow linked."
December also is the month when most tax-deductible financial gifts and art donations come in, said Norris. Though the museum bought many of the pieces, some were donated, and others came from alumni or other connections.
Former KU students and professors created some of the works.
Cynthia Schira, former professor of the design department for 23 years, has her textile designs on display.
She uses computer design programs to make futuristic patterns on cloth.
Also included is a Chinese painting by a former KU graduate student and expert in Chinese art, Kwan S. Wong. He did his ink print, "Bamboo and Rock," while still a student.
The books, called shunga, tell stories with elaborate colors and pictures
Many of the works, including the Japanese prints and books, are over a hundred years old.
Norris will lecture about the exhibit at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the gallery.

Reality TV pushes the media envelope
NEW YORK — NBC boss Robert Wright is reportedly upset that, so far, his network has missed out on the reality-TV bonanza.
The Associated Press
Here's CBS mopping up with Survivor and, in two weeks, launching Big Brother. ABC has just announced something for next season called Mole.
But NBC? So far, nada.
Bar ABC. So far, hada.
Well, I'd like to help. Mr. Wright, here's your next hit: the reality game show Elevator.
Elevator (I prefer the name Shaft but it was already taken) would travel with a tribe of contestants as they go up and down in an elevator car, each vying to get voted off by rival passengers.
It's a grueling competition. Who can make the most wittless small talk? Trample on the most toes? Wear the foulest cologne? Hum the furthest off key? After each episode-concluding tribal council (caution: no torches), the worst offender is then asked to leave immediately — or rather, at the next floor.
Promoted with the tagline, "Many stories
will be reached by Elevator," this show can't miss! And it would be cheap to produce. Most elevators are already equipped with a security camera and microphone. Pack 'em in, push Up, and start taping!
How about a spinoff from those ads tor the United States Mint?
You've seen them, portraying George Washington as more than a face on a dollar bill. In the two commercials, which promote the mint's new golden dollar coin, the father of our country is a modern urbanite whose dollar-bill head is digitally grafted onto a live-action body.
Commentary
Those commercials crack me up. But they also get me thinking. If George's head lends authority to the anonymous actor in the ads, consider the benefits of using the same computer voodoo on well-known TV personalities.
What about Kathie Lee Glifford? Long ago, she could have silenced detractors who
called her a saccharine hypocrite with just a bit of digital image enhancement: Imagine Kathie Lee's body with the head of Eleanor Roosevelt.
And ABC News might continue its mission to reach younger, hipper viewers with a simple variation on having hired Leonardo DiCaprio to interview President Clinton: Superimpose Leo's head on Peter Jennings anchoring World News Tonight.
But soon, Ananova could be breathing down his neck (assuming Ananova can be programmed to breathe).
jayhawks.com
Introduced a few weeks ago, this virtual newscaster is a Web site oracle, a talking head (literally) in streaming video. Developed by Britain's Press Association news agency, Ananova has green hair and a droid-like manner that, by comparison, makes Dateline NBC anchor Stone Phillips seem as lively as Little Richard.
On the other hand, Ananova has no star egg or star salary, and she'll always be a bottle
