Williams to announce decision before Friday

A moment of relative calm has settled on Mount Oread as the eye of the hurricane surrounding men's basketball coach Roy Williams passed over
"When I was a kid, I dreamed of playing at North Carolina and I dreamed of coaching at North Carolina. But it was a dream of being an assistant to Dean Smith. I never once thought of being on that campus as a head basketball coach."

the holiday weekend is the only thing holding up Williams' announcement that he will take over the Tar Heels' program.
But Bob Frederick, Kansas athletics director, denied the report that Williams was already an ex-Javhawk.
Officials at the North Carolina athletics department would not comment on any part of the coach selection process.
"That's crazy," Frederick said Monday. "That's just nure speculation."

The first part of the stunt hit on Friday when Williams announced he would consider taking the head coaching job at the University of North Carolina. The last part of the storm is expected to hit later this week — perhaps as soon as today — when Williams announces whether he will stay at KU or take over the Tor Heel ment would not commit selection process.
Frederick also denied a report in Monday's Lawrence Journal World, which stated that Frederick met with KU Chancellor Robert Hemenway Monday to develop an emergency plan if Williams leaves.
"The chancellor is on vacation with out-of-town guests," Frederick said, noting that Hemenway was still in Lawrence.
But someone in the Athletics Department was working on the necessary affirmative action steps should a new coach be necessary, Frederick said.
As of Monday, Williams was vacationing at his South Carolina beachhouse and pondering his coaching future. Widespread reports say that Williams has already met with North Carolina athletics director
According to the North Carolina fan Web site, goheels.com, the decision was already made and
He said Williams was expected to return to Lawrence today or Thursday, with an announcement coming soon after. Frederick also said that this could change because he had not had any contact with Williams since Sunday night.
The speculation surrounding Williams started on Thursday night when reports were leaked to the media that Tar Heel coach Bill Guthridge would retire. On Friday, Guthridge stepped down and Williams became the top candidate for the job.

Later that day, at a hastily called press conference, Williams said he owed it to North Carolina
"To be honest, I never thought this day would come." Williams said on Friday. "I was talking to Coach Guthridge, trying to get him to stay for five more years, then I'd be too old."
At the press conference, Williams promised to make up his mind by July 7. the day before the summer recruiting period officially starts. An announcement could come sooner than that.
Either way, Williams will have to decide between the school that gave him his first head coaching job or the university that he dreamed of coaching as a child.
"When I was a kid, I dreamed of playing at North Carolina and I dreamed of coaching at North Carolina," said Williams, a native of Spruce Pine, N.C., said. "But it was a

Williams' possible departure has left students at other Big 12 Conference schools with bittersweet feelings.

Roy, say it ain't so
By Chris Wristen
Kansan guest columnist
Dreaming is a powerful thing. Just ask Rov Williams.
I told him I planned to play for him after high school. He encouraged me to follow my dreams, study hard, and keep up the good work.
While I didn't fulfill my end of the bargain, mainly due to a lack of basketball talent, he has always kept his promises to Javhawk fans.
I still recall talking to Coach Williams after the Kansas vs. Iowa State game when I was in eighth grade.
He has turned down offers to coach for NBA teams 23 times, he has turned down numerous offers from
Commentary
other schools, and he's fought off rumors of going back to North Carolina too many times to count. No one has ever believed it, and we've had nightmares about life without Roy. We've worried that someday the rumors would turn out to be true. But he's always been honest with us. Always.
He's also blessed this University with one of the finest basketball programs in the nation. No coach has matched the overall success that Williams has given Kansas in his 12 years as coach.
Williams brought Kansas bask $ ^{a+} $
ball to a pinnacle of success that no one could have imagined when he was hired as an unknown assistant coach at North Carolina 12 years ago. He has turned Kansas basketball into a national model for respect. Coach Williams has built a program that all fans can be proud of. Williams should be proud of it too.
"For the first three years here I felt like I was walking into the office of a head basketball coach, and since then I've felt like I was walking into my office," Williams said at his press conference Friday.
He has said many times that his finger prints are all over the program and that it is his program.
He also got a little choked up at the
press conference when speaking of his players and a pair of glasses that Eric Chenowith gave him. It's the people who are important to Williams.
But then there's that dream.
Yes, Williams has given us a lifetime of dreams and memories. Now it's our turn to let him do some dreaming of his own. We owe it to him to grant his wish of patience while he dreams for a little bit and makes his decision.
We'll soon find out what dreams lie in the future for Williams, but I believe his skies will be gleaming Javawk Blue by Friday.

KU recruiting sweats out Roy's decision
By David Perico
Special to the Kansan
The future recruiting efforts of Kansas' men's basketball team may hang in the balance this week as potential recruits wait for Coach Roy Williams to decide his own future.
Mike Sullivan — a recruiting analyst with Insiders Report, an Internet recruiting information service — said he spoke with several potential Kansas recruits after Williams announced he was considering the job offer from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
After suffering major disappointments with the loss of all-star recruits DeShawn Stevenson and Travon Bryant, next year's recruitment class could be crucial to the future success of KU's team.
Nationally-ranked recruits Aaron Miles and David Lee said they would be disappointed if Williams left for UNC but they would take a look at the new coach before making a change of plans, Sullivan said.
Sullivan said that University of Missouri head coach Quin Snyder could gain a recruiting advantage over Kansas if it did not hire a coach quickly.
However, Sullivan said, "Kansas would not lose much if they hired a new, big-name coach right away. Kansas has a rich history and will be a great no matter who the head coach is. With the right coach, the power of recruiting will return to Kansas."
Peter George, a 1970 graduate, served on the student/faculty board that supervised Kansas athletics in 1969 and since then has followed basketball recruiting.
"KU will have the best recruiting class in history next year if Williams stays," he said. "If Williams doesn't take the UNC job, he will be seen as a lifer at KU, and that will add to the natural strength of the KU recruiting program."
Speculation about a possible replacement for Williams has been mounting in the press and in the Javhawk community.
George said that if Williams does leave, the team's recruiting efforts wouldn't be greatly harmed if a respected, dedicated young coach, preferably with Kansas ties, became the new head coach.
The most frequently mentioned names include Neil Dougherty,
Most media speculation about a possible replacement revolves around present and former assistants to Williams.
Kansas assistant coach, and head coaches Matt Doherty, Notre Dame University; Kevin Stallings, Vanderbilt University; and Steve Robinson, Florida State University.
Tony Harvey, Missouri assistant coach, said Dougherty recruited him to play at Cameron University when Dougherty was an assistant there. He said Dougherty's ability to relate to players was even more important now than it was when he was a player because of the lure of the NBA.
Harvey said Kansas' next coach should be someone who knew the system at Kansas and could hit the ground running if Williams left. Harvey said he thought that Dougherty would be an excellent replacement because he understood the recruiting needs of the Jayhawks and knew the players.

Fossil tour to kick off 'Monkey Trial' events
A free guided tour of the fossil exhibits at the Natural History Museum is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
"The Fossils Speak: The Evidence for Darwin's Theory" tour will be led by Bruce Lieberman, assistant professor of geology. Lieberman said he would use the museum's exhibits to illustrate the principles of evolution.
"It's a good time to talk about how a lot of these things are established fact and are available for public view." Lieberman said.
The tour is sponsored by Kansas Citizens for Science and the MAINstream Coalition, which oppose the kansas State Board of Education's controversial 1999 decision to remove Darwinian evolution, the Big Bang, and geologic time from the state's science education standards.
The tour is the first in a week-long series of events across the state commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Scopes "Monkey Trial," in which a Tennessee public school teacher was prosecuted for breaking state law by teaching evolution. The schedule is on line at www.scopesweek.org
The Creation Science Association for Mid-America has scheduled its own tour of the museum for 9 a.m. July 22. The association maintains that the book of Genesis is a historically and scientifically accurate account of creation. The association's president, Tom Willis, helped draft the state's controversial science standards. The association's Web site is www.csama.org.
The terms of five members of the Board of Education end this year. Primary elections for those seats will be Aug. 1.

'Monkey Trial' recounted in play, discussion
The world premiere of "Origins" — a play based on the Scopes "Monkey Trial" and starring Ad Asner — will be at 7 p.m. July 12 at the Lied Center.
“Origins” is based on trial执 transcripts and the reports of journalist H.L. Mencken, who covered the trial for the Baltimore Sun. At the trial, renowned defense attorney Clarence Darrow faced prosecutor William Jennings Bryan, three-time Democratic nominee for president and opponent of evolution.
Asner — best known for playing crusty newsman Lou Grant on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" — will play Bryan.
Other performers will include Shirley Knight, Harold Gould, James Cromwell and John Rothman.
A panel discussion on the evolution-cration debate will follow the performance.
The panelists are Eugenie C. Scott, president of the National Center for Science Education; Leonard Kristalka, director of the Natural History Museum; Edward J. Larson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the Scopes trial, "Summer of the Gods;" Tom Willis, president of the Creation Science Association for Mid-America; and John H. Calvert, managing director of the Intelligent Design Network. Michael Davis, KU professor of law, will be the moderator.
Kristalka said the event was a discussion, not a debate. He said he had debated creationists but did not think debates were helpful.
"I agreed to participate on the premise and on the promise that this will not be a circus that demeans both science and religion," he said. "The last thing I want to participate in is a Jerry Springer-type event."
The performance and discussion are sponsored by the People for the American Way Foundation, a liberal advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.

Summer Theatre season opens with comedies
The Kansas Summer Theatre at the University of Kansas begins its season this week with the openings of "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" and "1959 Pink Tbirdward."
"You're a Good Man Charlie Brown," directed by Don Schawang, doctoral student of theater and film, is a musical based on "Peanuts," the comic strip by Charles Schulz, who died in February. It plays at 8 p.m. July 6, 8, 14, 16, 20 and 22 at the Crafton-Prever Theatre in Murphy Hall.
"1959 Pink Thunderbird," directed by John Gronbeck-Tedesco, professor of theater and film, is a compilation of two one-act plays, "Laundry and Bourbon" and "Lone Star."
Gronbeck-Tedescho said the two contemporary comedies were hilariously sardonic looks at adults as adolescents. The show plays at 8 p.m. July 7, 9, 13, 15, 21 and 23 at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall.
Tickets for the shows are available at the Murphy Hall box office, the Lied Center and the Student Union Activities box office in the Kansas Union.

Strong support for Roy on campus
By Karen Lucas
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
The news that Roy Williams might leave Kansas for North Carolina triggered varied reactions on the Hill Friday.
Richard Givens, assistant provost and professor of chemistry, said it would be a huge loss if Williams left.
"He's been a first-rate coach and a gentleman and has run a very clean program at KU," Givens said.
Brooke Elliot, Lawrence freshman, agreed.
"He was kind of like the heart and soul of the team," she said.
Frank DeSalvo, director of counseling and psychological services, said he'd understand if Williams chose to return to Chapel Hill.
"I wouldn't hold it against him if he goes," he said. "It's hard to turn down an opportunity to go back home."
Hayden McCalman, Tulsa, Oklahoma, senior, said he didn't think Williams would leave.
"He's been here for 12 years and has too much going," said McCalman, Tulsa, Okla., senior. "He's done so much for the Lawrence community and the University of Kansas."
McCalman said a friend had surprised him Thursday night with the news Williams. McCalman called KU Info to confirm the news. "The guy at KU Info freaked out,
But not everyone on campus Friday spoke favorably of Williams.
Kamali Marsh, Jefferson City,
Mo., senior, said it would be good for the program if Williams left.
"KU basketball has been stagnant for a while." he said.
Adam Koch, Hutchinson junior, agreed.
"We need someone a little more hard-core than Roy," Koch said. "We always get to the finals and nothing happens."
But "KU loves Roy" banners that blossomed around campus Friday and a crowd of about 200 enthusiastic Williams supporters outside Allen Fieldhouse after the Friday evening press conference made it clear there was strong support for Williams.
Parker McConachie, Wichita senior, and Jeff Dreiling, a May graduate from Overland Park, spent most of Friday displaying their game-day flag on the lawn in
front of Allen Fieldhouse. Teddy Riss, a Shawnee Mission senior, joined them Friday evening.
"I love Roy to death." Riss said, and whatever makes him happy is good for me."
Passing motorists honked at their "Honk for Roy" signs after the evening press conference. They also had signs reading: "Roy's Girls." "Don't Leave Us," "We Love Roy," and "Home is where the Hawk is."
Claire Durwood, Mission Hills sophomore, Ashley Waggoner, Overland Park junior, and Kim Glacobbe, Amherst, Mass., junior, wore crimson and blue.
"I grew up with KU basketball."
Durwood said. "I went to a basketball camp with Roy. KU isn't KU without Roy."

Sun sets on Guthridge's career as Tar Heel
By Mike Ogle
Daily Tar Heel sports editor
According to Sprite, image is nothing.
Sprite could never be the official soft drink of North Carolina basketball.
Bill Guthridge's decision to retire last week, like many of the actions of the men's basketball program, had as much to do with the image it painstakingly works to maintain as it did with anything else.
He did leave under his own volition. He was not pressured to leave in any way and was welcome to stay for the remaining two years of his contract and beyond if desired.
In fact, Guthridge insisted that he intended to take advantage of that opportunity until a few weeks ago. He said he still loved the job and felt he could continue for years to come.
Was he lying through his teeth? Or did he recognize a slim window of opportunity from which to escape coaching gracefully — the opportunity afforded by last season's team?
The latter is most likely.
Until the Tar Heels' Final Four appearance in March, Guthridge had been walking a plank. But the
trip to Indianapolis rolled out the red carpet for his graceful, early exit. Guthridge chose to stride down that carpet instead of risking another walk down the plank.
During the royal treatment of the last week, many following UNC basketball were likely convinced of Guthridge's sainthood.
Only four wins ago, fans were far from praising him. They were com-
hitting blasphemy and praying for a one-way trip by Roy Williams from Lawrence to Chapel Hill, N.C.
Guthridge could be remembered in a number of waves.
He compiled one of the greatest three-year head-coaching careers ever, statistically speaking. Only he and North Carolina State's Everett Case enjoyed 80 wins in their three years. He led his team to the Final Four in two of three seasons.
CAROLINA
TAR HEELS
He rather smoothly and successfully followed the legend of legends, Dean Smith.
But truthfully, years from now he probably won't be remembered
Commentary
much. He'll likely be that guy sand-wiched by two greater, longer Tar Tar Heel coaching careers.
It began with the '97-'98 team that will go down as one of the biggest disappointments in UNC history. Led by an all-star cast, Guthridge's team was supposed to run away with the NCAA title. They
returned from Sai Antonio with anoth er semifinal defeat
Antonio with another semifinal defeat. That was OK, though. Guthridge was forgiven. The best team regularly does not win the NCAA tournament, and the fans had forgiven Dean Smith so many times before
for the same fate
That next group had an understandably shaky regular season but seemed to get it together by March.
Then the bomb dropped. North Carolina left the Big Dance in the first round.
Unfortunately, they didn't get to see what the Tar Heels could do until the Final Four run that was more uncharacteristic than it was improbable.
Unthinkable in Tar Heel country. Fans understood the program was in a rebuilding year.
The aest side of Allen Fieldhouse is covered with posters, signs and heartfelt letters urging Coach Williams to stay "where the hawk is." Photo by Craig Bennett/KANSAN
The team lost several games it should have—but it also lost a lot it shouldn't have.
It seemed the Tar Heels couldn't bounce back like a well-coached team should. Forgetful fans began looking up how many more years remained on coach's contract after a first-round departure from the ACC Tournament.
Somehow the Tar Heels put it all together and saved Guthridge's image with four wins. He was paroled once again.
Guthridge realized something at that point. Maybe this head coaching thing wasn't his bag after all.
He had his moment in the sun and saw a way out. An exit that preserved the maximum amount of dignity and the most positive legacy that he likely could have gained
And so, too tired to go on or not, he resigned, and his career was rightly celebrated.
Perhaps Guthridge will spend his retirement years in Las Vegas. He certainly knows how to quit while he's ahead.

KU WANTS ROY
Roy's possible departure stuns Jayhawk faithful
By Phil Cauton
Kansan staff writer
Reactions from Lowrences:
- "I played on the women's team and I'm real disappointed because there's just so much tradition here. He put Kansas on the map and I'm sure it won't be the same without him. No 'Late Night with Roy Williams,' I don't know, it just doesn't seem like it will be Kansas basketball without him. It's just going to be different seeing him in Carolina blue instead of crimson and blue."
- —Casey Pritt, 2000 KU graduate, Jonesboro, Ark.
- "I don't know what to think. That is pretty huge. It'll take years to build the kind of power he had at the University and in the area. He's an icon."
—Chris Choun, 22, Kansas City. Mo.
-Kyle Billings, 22, Lawrence,
manager of Fun and Games, 816
- "That's unfortunate. Maybe I'll get something done during basketball season. I'm the kind of fan that if this team goes downhill, I'm going to turn the TV off. But I don't see KU going downhill without Roy because, hey, this is KU. Roy is just another of many names that will be remembered at KU for a long time, from Naismith to Phog Allen. But if we went anywhere else (other than North Carolina), I would be more upset."
Massachusetts St., great nephew of Bob Billings, Kansas basketball great and Lawrence developer.
- "We're all crying. He's going to be remembered and loved. A lot of people will forget that he's the winningest coach of the '90s. They might remember that he didn't win a national championship. But anyone that says 'good ridance' or that `we didn't need him` just doesn't know the program. At first he came basically as an unknown and if he does leave, it will be as a legend."
- —Jon Amyx, 44, owner of Downtown Barber Shop, 824 Massachusetts St. Roy's (and much of team's) barber
- "The community is so used to Roy's style and he's brought such a winning tradition. If there's a new coach, the expectations are going to be really high."
- —Marcus Murphy, 45, Lawrence, computer consultant
- "It's good for him to get back to his alma mater. It's where he's always wanted to be. Everybody F —Brad Scott, 23, brewer at Free State Brewing Co., 636 Massachusetts St.
- "I don't blame him. He should go where his heart is. He was a great coach but it's probably time for something new around here."

Govt. grant pays for Web site application to up gas, oil output
KU scientists received a federal grant last week to develop a Web site that will help companies enhance oil and gas production in Kansas.
The $754,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy will help pay for a three-year petroleum research project at the Kansas Geological Survey.
The survey will contribute about $225,000 in labor and staff time to the project, said Barb McClain, the survey's associate director for administration.
The centerpiece of the project will be the creation of Web applications software to be used by petroleum companies and consultants, said Lynn Watney, senior scientist at the survey.

"We're going to be developing computer software to help us implement an integrated Web site designed to build reservoir models." Watne said.
The Web site will draw from a database called the Digital Petroleum Atlas, which compiles information about oil and gas production in Kansas such as rock analyses, maps and well histories.
The online software component will help oil and gas companies make sense out of huge amounts of data in designing and implementing projects. Watney said.
Companies will save time and money with help from the survey's site said Tim Carr, survey

senior scientist and member o the research team.
"Rather than just rummaging through a big pile of paper electronically, they can focus on the data they need to produce more oil and gas." Carr said. "A major cost in exploring and producing oil and gas is the acquisition and the interpretation of that data."
and gas companies in Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma would participate in the project by giving feedback on the software designed by the survey's team.
Watney said several private oil
The grant will make it possible to integrate the database and software development.
Survey members have worked on the project in its initial stages for the last five years, Watney said. In addition to creating the database, they have designed software programs with the support of the Department of Energy, the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation and private industries.
"I'm just delighted that we have this opportunity to bring our data and software together in this type of application that should benefit industry as well as our research program," Watney said.

Highways fatal during holiday weekend
The Associated Press
At least seven people have been killed on Kansas highways during the extended holiday weekend.
Patrick Michael Kappler, 23, of Chanute, died Monday morning on U.S. 169 north of Chanute. The Kansas Highway Patrol said he was killed when the vehicle driven by his wife, Sunshine Barton Kappler, 18, was struck in the passenger side while attempting a turn in front of an oncoming pickup truck.
The truck's driver and passenger were not injured.
Miami County Sheriff's officials said Duane Bolling, 17, of Paola, died Sunday when he ran a stop sign and collided with a car in rural Miami County.
Authorities said a man died Sunday morning in southwest Wichita after a motorist found a wrecked car under a severed utility pole. The driver, whose identity was not available from
police yesterday afternoon, died later at a hospital.
Police said investigators said they believed the man may have suffered from a medical condition that caused the accident. There were no skid marks at the scene and some medical supplies were found on the car's front seat.
In northeast Kansas, two accidents that occurred moments apart on a foggy highway ir Brown County left two people dead Saturday.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said the first crash occurred about 6:30 a.m. Saturday when a tractor-trailer pulled out of the Kickapoo Truck Stop and turned onto southbound U.S. 75. A northbound pickup truck braked, but slid under the tractor-trailer.
The pickup's driver, Timothy C. Baker, 35, of Soldier, was killed instantly, the patrol said.
About three minutes later, a southbound sport utility vehicle carrying four members of an Indiana family tried to swerve around the tractor-trailer but clipped its side, then overturned
in a ditch. said the patrol.
All four people in the sport utility vehicle were thrown out. The driver, Steven N. Meyers, 36, of Angola, Ind., was killed. Three were taken to area hospitals.
In north-central Kansas, Elizabeth Bohnert,
14, of Superior, Neb., died shortly after 8 p.m.
Friday when the car she was riding in went out
of control on a Lovewell street in Jewell County
and overturned in a ditch, the patrol said.
Adam Thomas Lefler, 22, of Fayetteville, Ark., was killed about 8:25 p.m. Friday when the sport utility vehicle he was driving lost control and rolled over on Interstate 135, about 13 miles north of McPherson, the patrol said.
Last year, Kansas recorded 588 road accidents with five fatalities during the 78-hour Fourth of July holiday traffic period, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.
This year's 102-hour holiday traffic period began at 6 p.m. Friday and ended at midnight.

Students master languages with high-tech learning aides
By Karen Lucas writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Cordelia Bowlus' students have practiced their German this semester not only in the classroom but also in chat rooms.
A software program called Daedalus allows members of Bowlis' beginning German class to communicate electronically on assigned topics in small groups
"When you're in a chat room like this, you can be responding to an earlier question while somebody else is writing a new question for you," said Bowlus, graduate teaching assistant in German. "It kind of keeps you on your toes."
Bowlus also said she could monitor what the students wrote as well and get print-outs of the computer dialogues. Jason Maltsbarger, Olathe senior and Bowlus' student, gave high marks for the program.
"I think that it's easily accessible, user-friendly," he said. "It gives me a forum to communicate in German."
The use of Daedalus is an example of how foreign language learning at the University of Kansas is becoming more high-tech.
Students can find Daedalus in the Ermal Garinger Academic Resource Center, 4070 Wescoe, as well as other software programs for foreign language instruction. The center has a lab with 29 new computers — and will open a state-of-the-art multimedia classroom in the fall — for use with the high-tech learning aides.
The center's Transparent Language program helps students improve their reading skills in Spanish, Italian, French, Latin, German and Russian. Students can read texts with translations and visual components as well as listen to readings of the texts.
Alexis Baloji, graduate teaching assistant in French, said his language students had worked with a computer program that focused on grammar skills. As students do the exercises, the program gives them feedback.
William Comer, the center's director, offered a course last spring that helped foreign language teaching assistants become better acquainted with how new technology could benefit their students. They learned how to use software programs, Web sites and various types of equipment in their teaching, such as laptops and projectors. Each class member also had to design a Web site.
Bowlus, who was in the class, created a Web site for the third-semester German class she taught in the spring. The site included essays written by her students. She said it was a success because students not only could read what others had written but also because they could be proud of having published something on the Web.
In another activity last semester, Bowlus' students answered questions about Haribo, a German candy company, by checking out the company's Web site.
"It helped them apply what they had been learning
in their chapter on companies," she said. "The purpose of doing these types of Web exercises is to give students an opportunity to use vocabulary that they have learned from their textbook in an authentic environment."
Although Bowtus embraces the new technology, she doesn't eschew the old. Like language students in previous years, her students use audio-cassette tapes that accompany the textbook.
"The cassette tapes allow them to listen to the target language in a controlled setting," she said.
Maltsbarger said it was beneficial to have a mixed approach.
"It's good to use any venues that are open to us as students," he said, "whether it's orally in class or written in a German chat room."

Former Kansas player remembers Roy
Driving through neighborhoods, going door to door asking if we could look in their sheds for any old bottles they did not want so we could earn money to send us to basketball camp.
Waiting at the gate on a snow day off from school for the coach who volunteered to come pick us up in his old blue Mustang because my widowed mom was too nervous to drive in the snow.
Crying with emotion after a loss, not because the effort was not there, but because he thought we deserved it but came up just a little short.
On short practices, we would go down in the empty film room below the gym and watch old North Carolina and N.C. State films and learn to love Carolina and well, not really appreciate N.C. State too much.
He's the man who would come by our rooms and check on Sonny Smith and me at basketball camp and ask if we had any concerns or problems before he went to bed.
Inviting us all over to his above-garage apartment in Asheville for a pizza dinner with his wife, Wanda, and his newborn son, Scott, named after former Tar Heel great Charlie Scott.
Passing the cafeteria sandwiches and sodas to the back of the bus to make sure everyone got one before the bus pulled out for an away game in the hills of Madison County.
Yes, that's the guy who had such an impact on me. Even when I was disappointed in my playing time, I still loved and respected him so much. I did not even start in high school, but I did learn to understand what Coach Williams had said to me so many times and I went on to lead the local college in scoring within two years. It had not been Coach William's fault, it had been mine, although it took me that long to understand it.
Yes, I am speaking of Roy Williams, a man of intense desire to succeed. Not only on the basketball court but also in life. I knew then, as a high school sophomore, that this man was destined for greater things than Owen High School. You could feel it when you were around him and it rubbed off in a great way.

Yes, the old garage apartment has been upgraded, the old Mustang has been replaced by a newer version I am sure, and the hair is a little grayer than I remember. But he is — and always will be — simply "Coach Williams" to me. I will always love him for that.
Roy Williams has not said if he will be leaving the University of Kansas. Williams will make an announcement before Friday. KANSAN file photo

Williams' decision key to KU's future
I am a Jayhawk alumnus and live in Sequim, Wash. As a devoted Jayhawk basketball fan, I want to say that I believe Roy Williams should remain the Jayhawk coach. I feel as if he has become a part of KU, and his name is now synonymous with Kansas basketball. I cannot believe Coach Williams could find more professional or personal satisfaction by leaving Mount Oread. His outstanding record and performance have grown with the Kansas program, and the two should continue into the future together. His impact is far beyond the basketball team/program. His positive approach influences thousands of KU students every year. This is about more than just a basketball program. Should he leave, the University would miss Coach Williams more than any of us realize.

Ken Alvarez and his 2-year-old leopard, Tundra, are an unlikely match. Alvarez said leopards were solitary animals and typically didn't keep company with other leopards, much less humans. However, Tundra is a veteran of Alvarez's traveling cat show and is quite comfortable even around strangers. Photo by Phil Cauthun/KANSAN

One look at Boomer's penetrating glare and visitors to the exotic cat farm near Oskaloosa will know they are not in a zoo.
Though the 400-pound male lion — like all 34 lions, tigers, cougars and leopards on the farm — is doubly secure behind cages much like those in any zoo, Boomer's fierce territoriality is rarely seen in zoo animals more accustomed to the presence of humans.
And few zoo-goers will ever feel the fear that Boomer's growls and stares arouse in many visitors to Barb and Dick Stephens' cat farm.
"Oh, Boomer's all right," Barb Stephens reassures a newly arrived group of visitors. "He just likes to intimidate, don't you Boomer? As soon as you show him you're not afraid, he's just another pussy cat. He's really a sweetheart."
As a teen visitor squats within a foot of Boomer's cage, Stephens quickly adds, "You still want to stay plenty back from the cage, sweetle."
Curiosity...
Stephens bought her first cat — a cougar named Stinky — six years ago for $550 out of the Animal Finders' Guide, the want ads for anything from alligators to zebras.
"It's always been a dream of mine." Stephens said. "And now they're mine, and I love them. We love them all."
now they're mine, and I love them. We love them all." In 1997, Stephens bought Tuffy, her first Siberian tiger kitten, who is now her 750-pound pride and joy.
Along the way she has taken on four more cougars and a lioness kitten — all abandoned by their owners and directed to Stephens' refuge by word of mouth.
"The whole reason we have people out here is to educate them," Stephens said — noting that she and her husband, Dick, welcome all visitors free of charge. "People think, 'Oh, if'd be cool to have a虎 or lion' — until it gets to 300 pounds. Well, somebody still has to take care of them."
Visitors to the Stephens' exticat cat farm must call Barb or Dick to schedule an appointment: 1-785-683-2190. The farm is at 15175 Warren Road, Oskaloosa. Take Hwy. 59 north of Lawrence. Once in Oskaloosa, take the third right after Thriftway onto Warren Road, which is unmarked and ends at the farm.
Neither federal nor state law prohibit Kansans from owning exotic pets, whether toucans or tigers. The City of Lawrence and Douglas County prohibit ownership of most exotic pets, including all big cats.
But there are probably more Kansans than that keeping big cats as pets. Exotic pet owners need licenses only when they breed cats, travel with them or otherwise profit from them, said Robert Bacon, a USDA inspector. Cougars are an exception. Because they are native to
At least eight Kansas counties permit exotic cats, and 14 Kansans own licensed farms like the Stephens', according to U.S. Department of Agriculture licensing records.
Cougars are an exception. Because they are native to Kansas, they are licensed under the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.
"There are people getting into this business who don't know what they're doing," he said. "But many people genuinely care about the animals, and they have good operations and are a credit to the industry."
"We go to each site a minimum of once a year," said Bacon, who oversees 21 counties in Kansas, inspecting zoos, kennels, circuses, traveling petting zoos, airports that ship live cargo and farms like the Stephens'.
Exotic cat licensees are subject to unannounced inspections several times a year by Bacon and other USDA officials.
"If somebody is a stripper — and this really happened — and she has a Bengal tiger as part of her act, then we go to where she has the cat — in this case the strip joint — and you do your job and you leave," Bacon said. "We go to some sites three or four times a year, or more for the worst facilities. Those that are more noncompliant get visited more."
Bacon said operations like the one in Oskaloosa were as varied as the people who ran them. At a minimum, he said, his inspections check for adequate caging, edible food, potable water, healthy animals and signs of neglect such as scattered bones or old feces.
...Saves the cats
Abandoned animals now comprise less than half of Stephens' cats. In April, her farm's cat population more than doubled when she began taking care of cats owned by Ken Alvarez, who operates a USDA-licensed traveling cat show.
By the end of this week — once Alvarez brings his two white tiger kittens — Stephens' farm will house 36 cats and one black bear cub.
Alvarez — a 31-year-old manufacturer who lives
near Wichita — says he travels with his cats to discourage people from keeping them as pets and to raise awareness of exotic cat conservation programs.
The $10 he charges for each photo — averaging 300 or 400 photos per show — nearly covers the cost of keeping his cats, he said. And several shows a year are for charity, including benefits for tiger research and conservation.
Now in his third year, Alvarez has booked several dozen shows, touring the United States and Canada with four or five picture cats, kittens that are just a few months old and safe for contact with children.
"This has been a lifelong dream and, after starting the show with one tiger, we were able to work up from there," Alvarez said. "It looks like a profitable business, but it's not. We do it because we love the animals."
Food alone costs about $1,700 a month for his 34 cats — or about $50 per cat each month, he said. Except for a weekly starve-day, his full-grown cats get about 10 pounds of chicken and beef daily. The cats occasionally get a treat when the sheriff directs the Stephenses to area roadkill.
"It's pretty interesting to watch them eat a deer." Alvarez said. "The tear it to pieces pretty darn quick."
Selling the ex-picture cats would be the easiest way to sustain Alvarez's show, were it not diametrically opposed to his ideals.
All things considered, keeping one adult lion or tiger costs Alvarez about $2,000 a year.
Other costs include an average of $5,000 a year in veterinary care for all the cats and $4,000 each year for a million-dollar insurance policy.
Not only would he save thousands in costs each year, but he also could earn more than $1,000 for each adult tiger or lion he sold through the Animal Finders' Guide.
Alvarez said that if someone insisted on buying one of his cats, he would require that the buyer work with him for several months to prove dedication to the cat. Even then, he said, he would rather not accept money for a cat.
Alvarez has to breed three or four cats a year to keep his traveling show going. Before they are 2 years old, tigers put on about 300 pounds, rendering them far too large to be picture cats.
"If someone offered me $10,000 for a cat, I wouldn't do it," Alvarez said. "These cats are my kids and you wouldn't sell your kids."
And Alvarez and Stephens can plan on those costs for 10 to 20 years — the typical life span of a big cat.
Dick Stephens has never sold any of his cats either. He said his work as a federal contractor pays for his exotic pets. But he said he would consider breeding his cougars for sale if the price were to rise substantially higher than the current $400.
Endangered species?
Not for sale
A reason cited by Alvarez and Stephens for raising Siberian tigers is to help preserve an endangered species. According to National Geographic magazine, fewer than 7,000 tigers remain in the wild.
Tiger numbers continue to dwindle, say researchers, because of poaching in India and China, where a dead tiger can fetch up to $250,000 on the black market. Not only are the pelts extremely valuable, but so are tiger teeth, claws and entrails — all used as aphrodisiacs — and tiger penis, which is considered a delicacy in many Asian cultures.
Though Stephens and Alvarez say their cats are all

Jurassic 5, Stereolab release new cuts
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Hip-hop group goes aboveground; the Lab synthesizes yet again
By Derek John Special to the Kansan
JURASSIC 5, Quality Control
"We are no superstars who want to be large and forget we are. Don't judge us by bank accounts and big cars. No matter how bright we shine, we're far from being stars, 'cause stars fall and disintegrate. Before they hit the asphalt, they incinerate."
This excerpt from the chorus of "Laud," pronounced 'lost', a song on Jurassic 5's first full-length album Quality Control, addresses the speculation surrounding the band's decision to sign with the major record label Interscope.
Jurassic 5's desire to emerge from the underground of the Los Angeles hip-hop scene was a natural evolution and a sign of growth according to Zaakir, one of four MCs in the group.
"We needed certain things," he stated in a press release. "You can't stay a kid forever. Eventually
you got to grow up."
In 1997, Jurassic 5 sold 250,000 copies of its debut, self-titled EP on its own imprint, building a solid following of true hip-hop heads, and serving as a rallying cry for a new movement in hip-hop.
Quality Control is a testament to the purest form of hip-hop in Los Angeles. The retro-progressive unit fuses the old-school bounce of pioneers, like the Cold Crush Brothers, with the modern stylings of the West Coast Underground.
And how the funky fresh crew made up of MCs Zaakir, Akil, Mark 7even, Chali 2na, and disk jockies Nu-Mark and Cut Chemist have grown up
STEREOLAB
THE FIRST
OF THE MICROBE
HUNTERS
Lyrically, Jurassic 5 is a breath of fresh air. Combining positive rhymes in ever-changing meters bolstered by doo-wop harmonies, each of the four MCs bring something different to the table.
The laid back, rapid-fire baritone of Chali 2na anchors the group. He is the most comfortable MC, supplying streetsmart gems: "I'm 2na, the black sure contractor — attacking your back door. Get trapped in my trash compactor — move back whore." Their free-spirited flows are sprinkled with a variety of references as diverse and obscure as the '80s all-girl band The Bangles to Tennessee Williams' Streetcar Named Desire.
Cut Chemist, who in his own right has attracted a large following, digs up long-forgotten sounds and quirky samples, turns them inside out, and then fervently scratches on them.
Joined by Nu-Mark, the dynamic duo uses its turntables to create dirty beats, funky loops and soulful grooves that complement Jurassic 5's lyrical abilities.
Leaving its tired-sounding gangsta rap counterparts wallowing in L.A., Jurassic 5 leads the next-school sound of other acts such as Dilated Peoples and Freestyle Fellowship and seems to be on the verge of getting its message to the masses.
Jurassic 5's new album can be heard during Breakfast for Beat Lovers every morning from 9 a.m. to noon on KJHK 90.7 FM. The request line is 864-4747.
STEREOLAB, The First of the Microbe Hunters
Stereolab's new EP, The First of the Microbe Hunters, follows its highly acclaimed Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night.
The new EP picks up where that album left off
JURASSIC-5
QUALITY CONTROL
PARental
ADVISORY
EXPLICIT CONTENT
with the same musical sensibility and abstract song titles like "Retrograde Mirror Form" and "Outer Bongola." One suspects that The First of the Microbe Hunters is the last of the tracks from Cobra and Phases Group that didn't make the cut. With Stereolab that's not a bad thing.
Guitarist Tim Gane and vocalist Laetitia Sadier blend their style with a Farfisa organ, bass, trap set and synthesizer to achieve its unique aesthetic.
The group keeps the listener on his or her toes by changing the tempo, dynamics, style and musical perspective at the drop of a hat.
Structurally speaking, melodies are juxtaposed against vibrant harmonic backdrops, that are arranged to maximize the music's organic potential. The unconditional hooks are complemented by the breathy vocals of Sadier and fellow female singer Mary Hansie They ply their craft, weaving in and around each track. A few songs feature Sadier's native French.
Stereolab is prolific and despite its short existence, has nine full-length albums, a bevy of EPs, B-side collections and other works.
With this latest Elektra release, one might begin to wonder whether its proficiency and amount of work dilute the product. In any case, longtime fans of the group will want to add The First of the Microbe Hunters to their increasing catalog of Stereola music.

Mardi Gras, Cajun a la Missouri winery fest
By BriAnne Hess editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
There's no need to head to Louisiana to get a taste of Cajun food, Mardi Gras and a fair share of the Heartland's wine.
Just a few hours from Lawrence, Stone Hill Winery & Restaurant will import a sample of the New Orleans traditions this weekend for the Cajun Concert on the Hill and a Mardi Gras celebration.
The festivities at the winery — in Hermann, Mo. — will include live music, dancing and homemade Calau cooking.
On Friday, the winery will showcase Blackie Forestier and the Cajun Aces, who will perform in the Pavilion from 6 to 10 p.m. They'll perform again on Saturday and on Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m.
A Mardi Gras celebration will be from 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday in the winery's Pavilion. Homemade jambalaya, red beans and rice

Hurricane Roy ravages new media
The news hit Lawrence like a sudden summer thunderstorm.
By Juan H. Heath Special to the Kansan
Roy Williams was leaving Kansas.
Early Friday morning, the Associated Press released the story on its Internet site, www.ap.org, and other electronic media.

Then the torrent of information swelled.
Sites such as ESPN.com, cbssportsline.com and cnnsi.com reacted quickly, adding to the storm's fury.

Then a call from a former reporter, and another from an editor
I had been caught unaware and was being pelted with information; I felt as if I'd been struck by lightning.
Roy Williams was leaving Kansas.

mobilized to brace for the impact. The scene was replicated in newsrooms across the country.
Like the crosswinds caused by two colliding air masses, Jayhawk and Tar Heel fans clashed electronically.
A post on rockchalk.com read: "When I heard that Roy might be leaving, my stomach started churning. I really hope that he doesn't leave," wrote Wulhawk.

A post on goheels.com by uncbelbe read: "It's Roy, no doubt about it. He will choose UNC if for no other reason to shut others out."
But then the sun peeked through the clouds. Roy Williams denied the AP story, and added his own info to the electronic maelstrom. In a statement posted on the
In a statement posted on the athletic department's Web
site, www.jayhawks.org, Roy said "The Associated Press and ESPN story that I have accepted the job is completely false. I have agreed to talk to Dick Baddour (UNC athletics director) and that is the only thing that has been agreed upon."
Was Roy Williams leaving Kansas?
The storm subsided briefly, but then resumed with renewed force as the media watched and replayed the Friday

Before the Internet, news like this might not have developed at such a rapidly accelerated pace.
The story would have caused the same stir without the Web, but a newspaper would have had time to contact both

Roy chastised the media for the story. "It was far-fetched, it was fabricated, and it was irresponsible journalism," he said
Does Hurricane Roy prove that the speed at which information spreads on electronic media has gotten out of our control?
Maybe...
Anyway, Roy's decision may be as unpredictable as the Kansas weather.
And why would he want to leave that behind?

purebred, many farms that claim to have endangered cats really have crossbreeds, which are genetically useless, said Conrad Schmitt, zoological curator for the Kansas City Zoological Park in Kansas City, Mo.
Tiger by the tail
Continued from page 1B
Schmitt said that well-documented bloodlines and breeding records — often only kept by zoos — would be necessary to assure any given genetic strain could survive in the wild once reintroduced from captivity.
Crossbreeding an Indochinese tiger with a Bengal tiger, for example, was no different than crossbreeding a lion and a tiger Schmitt said. Such crossbreeds could not be used in the future to recreate the animals that now roam wild in Asia and Africa.
Legal but lethal
"He was dead before he could turn toward the door," Schmitt said.
Whenever he gets the chance, Schmitt tells the story of his college roommate — a koookeeper at Miami Metropolitan Zoo for 20 years, who was mauled by a tiger he had been with for several years.
Schmitt is something of an activist when it comes to spreading his concern that people not equate the legality of keeping big cats with safety.
"Our concern is that often people don't know what they're getting into commitment-wise or financially."
Schmitt's concern is echoed by the USDA. Its Web site warns that unsuspecting children and adults have been seriously injured or killed, even when the animals involved were only playing.
Roy Dunnaway, Jefferson County sheriff, said that nearly all of the county's residents appreciated the Stephens' cat farm and that his office hadn't received a complaint about the farm for years.
"There's people that are not comfortable with the cats," Dunnaway
"We live in America, and in America people are allowed to do a lot of crazy things. I'm not sure keeping these cats falls in the category of crazy things, but as long as the public is safe, they should be able to do it." Harkins said. "As far as I feel, they're one of God's great creatures to be admired and appreciated, and they need care just like a pet dog, a pet cat or a pet big cat."
However, the site also notes that the federal government does not regulate ownership and care of large, wild and exotic cats as pets.
said. "But as far as the Stephenses, I think they take good care of them and make sure the public won't be harmed by them."
And that's the way it should be, said Davy Harkins, El Dorado veterinarian and one of the few vets in Kansas who will operate on exotic cats.
Different than a zoo
"He's hurt me a couple times when he's tackled me and hit me pretty good," Alvarez said. "But I've hit him pretty good, too."
Visitors to the Stephens' farm frequently will see more than just cats behind cages.
If the weather is cool and the cats aren't moody, Barb Stephens can exchange kisses with her tiger Tuffy. Dick Stephens becomes a human jungle gym for his cougars. And, if he's in town, Alvarez will jump in the pool with his tigers or play tackle football with Boomer, his breeding lion, which he raised from a kitten.
"When I see Ken and Boomer together like that, I want to do that, too." Stephens said. "I will. Before I die, I'm going to get in the cage and hug him, at least once."
Barb Stephens watches with a group of visitors as Alvarez enters the cage with Boomer and the lion's pregnant cagemate Sable. Undaunted by the growls of the two full-grown carnivores, Alvarez strides through the cage and wraps his arms around Boomer's mane.

Roy's decision delights devotees
By David Perico
Special to the Kansan
After a week of unconfirmed rumors about Roy Williams' coaching plans, the University of Kansas community was ready for an answer Thursday night.
And Jayhawk fans got the answer they were hoping for.
At 5:30 p.m. Thursday, the Athletics Department called a 9 p.m. press conference to announce whether Williams would take the coaching position at the University of North Carolina or stick with Kansas. The press conference was broadcast from the Kansas locker room at Memorial Stadium, and fans were invited to view the conference on the Mega Vision screen from the stands — something most seemed to consider a good sign.
An hour before the conference, carloads of Jayhawk basketball fans streamed onto campus, heading for Memorial Stadium. By 8:30 p.m., traffic on Mississippi Street started to look like it does on football game days.
Thousands of fans — old and young, toting pets and pushing babies in strollers — streamed into the
stadium from all
directions.
Fans grabbed free sodas from tubs of ice just inside the south gate.
"This is a good sign," one fan said.
The crowd filled about a third of the stadium's 50,250 seats, and the lights were on in several luxury boxes.
Jayhawk fans booed a man who walked down the track wearing a North Carolina T-shirt. Eight KU band members climbed the south end zone stands and played the KU fight song and alma mater. Fans sang along and then did the Rock Chalk chant.
When Williams appeared on the big screen and said, "I'm staying," the cheers became deafening. Vibrations from the crowd's roar could be felt in the locker room press conference.
Steven Buckley was sitting in the stands just about where he sat for the 1988 NCAA basketball championship celebration. He said he was relieved by Williams' decision to stav.
"I woke up at four this morning thinking about it," he said.
But Kansas alumni and basketball fan David Matthews said he hadn't lost any sleep. He said that Williams had spoken of Lawrence as his home for the past several years and that he knew Williams

Doherty hire keeps Heels' hoops job in family

"I can't tell you how excited I am to be home," said Doherty, who was a starter on Dean Smith's 1982 North Carolina national championship team alongside Michael Jordan, James Worthy and Sam Perkins. "It's a big day in my life that I didn't see coming, and I don't think a lot of you saw coming."
The two weeks of turbulence that engulfed the University of North Carolina during its search for a new men's basketball coach ended yesterday when the school hired Matt Doherty — Notre Dame head coach and former Kansas assistant.
Doherty, 38, became the leading candidate after last week's decision by Kansas coach Roy Williams not to take the job at his alma mater, according to James Moeser, incoming UNC chancellor.
Milwaukee Bucks coach George Karl and Philadelphia 76ers coach Larry Brown, who both played for UNC under Smith, took their names out of the running Monday.
"I have not done what those men have done I am very humbled and I love them. I hope to achieve that kind of success." Doherty said
He said, he believed he had the tools to handle the job, especially the recruiting. Doherty was Williams' top recruiter during his seven years at Kansas.
"I feel I can coach basketball. I feel I can
relate to the kids and I can recruit," said Doherty, who will bring his Notre Dame coaching staff with him to North Carolina.
Doherty, 38, led the Fighting Irish to a 22-15 record as a rookie coach last season, guiding
Doherty left his one-year post at Notre Dame to sign a six-year contract to coach the Tar Heels, his alma mater.
He left behind a Notre Dame squad that will return probable preseason All-American Troy Murphy and a strong recruiting class.
them to a second place finish in the NIT Tournament.
Doherty said he wanted to bring his family closer to home, so that his children would be closer to their grandparents.
And he said that it was important to him that the position go to a disciple of Smith. Doherty said a conversation with Michael Jordan yesterday morning helped make up his mind to accept the coaching vacancy.
"It was important to me, after things didn't work out with Coach Williams, that someone with Carolina ties, a member of the family, be in this position," Doherty said.
UNC's chancellor, Moeser, declined to discuss contract terms for Doherty, who had four years remaining on a five-year deal at Notre Dame.
UNC players Jason Capel and Julius Peppers, who came out of the basketball office after the announcement declined comment.
Doherty will replace Bill Guthridge, Smith's longtime assistant who led the Tar Heels to two Final Fours in three years before announcing his retirement June 30.
Doherty will take over the Tar Heels program left by Smith, the all-time winningest coach in Division I with 879 victories and NCAA titles in 1982 and 1993.

KU professor to delay discrimination lawsuit
LAWRENCE — Mike Cuenca, assistant professor of journalism, is asking to withdraw his discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against the University of Kansas.
Cuenca said Monday that he planned to refile the case sometime after the end of the 2000-2001 academic year when his dismissal from the University was complete.
Kansas denied Cuenca tenure during the spring semester. He can teach only one more academic year at the University.
Cuenca, an assistant professor of visual communications, filed the lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in Topeka in April 1999. In it, he claimed he was discriminated and denied promotions because he is Filipino-American. He also claimed the University punished him for complaining about the retaliation.
Federal law requires that a person claiming to be a victim of discrimination first seek remedy through administrative bodies, such as the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Cuenca said he would refile his claim with the EEOC.

History professor named KU Hall Center director
Victor Bailey, professor of history, was named director of the KU Hall Center for the Humanities last week.
The Hall Center — located in the former Watkins home just down the hill from Watson Library — sponsors seminars for humanities students, holds a lecture series for the community, runs a grant development office, and is the base of operations for several University journals.
"The Hall Center is one of KU's most valuable research assets," said Bailey, who specializes in modern British history. "it is an honor to be appointed as its next director."
Currently, Bailey is writing a book on the history of the death penalty in England.
Bailey's work has examined the British judicial and penal system, and includes a 1998 book on the social history of suicide in Victorian Britain.
The center's former director, Roberta Johnson, will return to teaching in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.

Sky won KU's award for the best science fiction novel of the year, and David Marusek's "Wedding Album" won the award for best short science fiction of the year.
The awards were presented Friday by the KU Center for the Study of Science Fiction at a dinner, attended by both Vinge of San Diego and Mausek of Fairbanks, Alaska.
Vernon Vinge's A Deepness in the
Runners-up for the John W. Campbell Award for best novel were Greg Bear's Darwin's Radio and Norman Spinrad's Greenhouse Summer. Honorable mentions included Peter Watts' Starfish and Jack Williamson's The Silicon Dagger.
Runners-up for the Theodore Sturgeon Award for best short science fiction were Eleanor Arnason's "Dapple: A Hwarath Historical Romance," and Judith Berman's "The Window."

All three Sturgeon awards were published in Asimov's Science Fiction collection.
The awards dinner was followed by a "Science Fiction in the 21st Century" conference on July 8 and 9, which scholars from Brazil, India, Japan and Mexico attended.
Grants up $20 million during 1999 fiscal year
Research at the University of Kansas for fiscal year 1999 increased by more than $20 million from the previous fiscal year.
Kansas for fiscal year 1999 increased by more than $20 million from the previous fiscal year. Officials at KU's Center for Research said the University received almost $168 million for research including $123 million in federal, state and private grants and contracts up more than 14 percent from fiscal year 1998 Science and engineering received the bulk of the funding, at just less than $133 million, while training and non-science research accounted for the rest.
Funding figures are used for peer review and institutional ranking. The University's goal is to be in the top 75 research institutions in the nation, and among the top 50 public schools, said Robert Barnhill, vice chancellor and president of the KU Center for Research.
"We're going to break that top 75—make no mistake about that," Barnhill said. "But this isn't basketball, so it is going to take more than one year."
Professors win award to support research
University officials will have to wait until other schools report their research expenditures for 1999 to determine the school's rank.
A KU chemist and a molecular biologist will receive the first of a new faculty award to support their research.
Robert Dunn, associate professor of chemistry, and Leslie Heckert, assistant professor of molecular and integrative physiology at the University of Kansas Medical Center, will receive $50,000 annually for three years and can use the money to pay for personnel, equipment, supplies or travel.
Dunn is researching new microscopic techniques to study single molecules. Heckert is researching the regulation of reproductive hormone levels during the development of the testes and ovaries in mammals.
The grant was created this year by KU alumni Madison "Al" and Lila Self to recognize and support scientific research at the University.

KU professor granted best scholarly book award
William Tsutsui, associate professor of history, won the 2000 award for best scholarly book written on Japan or Korea in 1998, presented by the Association of Asian Studies.
Vivek S.
Tsutsui receives award for best Asian Studies book
Tsutsui's Manufacturing Ideology: Scientific Management in Twentieth Century Japan traces the roots of modern Japanese management to Frederick Winslow Taylor, American industrial engineer
whose 1911 book, Principles of Scientific Management, pioneered standardized, repetitive tasking.
"While embracing Taylor's theories, the Japanese adjusted and improved on them," Tsutsui said. "Japanese managers recognized that the welfare of workers and their commitment to corporate goals were essential to efficiency and productivity. Thus, Japanese industry sought to humanize the grueling routines of scientific management and the American assembly line."

Former players revel in Roy's resolution
By David Perico
Special to the Kansan
Former Kansas basketball players Ryan Robertson and Jerod Haase said they were relieved to hear that coach Roy Williams would stay at Kansas.
Robertson said it meant a lot to see Williams make his players a top priority when faced with such a tough decision.
Robertson said the team's future looked
brighter in every respect and that Williams' decision would have a big impact on recruiting. Recruits looking for someone to teach them about basketball and life will find their way to Kansas, Haase said.
He said he was ecstatic when he heard Williams' decision.
"I'm on his staff," he said. "I'm a KU player, and I'm also a huge KU fan."
That gave him three reasons to be excited about Williams' announcement, he said.
Haase said Williams' decision said a lot about his integrity and his loyalty to the program — two characteristics that attracted Haase to Kansas when he was a student at Berkeley.
He said he could tell that Kansas players believed in their coach and played unselfishly for him.
"Coach Williams is extremely honest and loyal to his players." Haas said.

was a man of his word.
Ben Murray, Elkhart senior, said he had no idea what Williams' decision would be before the press conference.
"I had a hunch that Roy would stay because he would have a chance to establish his own legacy right here in Lawrence," Matthews said.
"I kept changing my mind," Murray said. "But once I heard about the press conference, I didn't think he would say he was leaving."
Murray said he was glad the wait was over because Williams had been under a lot of pressure. It didn't bother him that Williams took a week to make a decision.
"The timing was not his fault," Murray said. "He had no control over Guthridge's decision."
Murray also said he thought there would be mass hysteria at Allen Fieldhouse when Williams walks onto the court next season.
"Allen Fieldhouse is already one of the toughest places to play in college basketball," Murray said. "Seeing how much loyalty he has to his school, his fans and his players will increase the madness at the games."
UNC basketball could be in dire straits

Basketball fans, write this date down: July 6. 2000.
That was the day Roy Williams turned down an offer to coach North Carolina and remain at Kansas. That is the day that the college basketball landscape changed forever.
Commentary
But the issue is not whether
William  abundant
North Carolina when it needed him most. His decision is one that should be respected. He broke the mold of college coaches who jump at the first opportunity for more money and more power, leaving their players an enormous way to die
The developments in Chapel Hill could have adverse effects on recruiting. Will second-guessing prospects have the same thoughts as Williams did when the Tar Heels recruit them?
But Baddour doesn't see it that way.

"This program has been built as
Williams did not do that to Kansas. And he is not the issue.
Kansas. And he is not the issue. The issue is that somebody turned down North Carolina.
Perhaps Smith, who has orchestrated the program's every move, has lost a step. He failed to deliver.
That's a big deal. It's like shrugging off an offer to become the CEO at Microsoft or passing on a date with a supermodel. It's just not done.
standing in the country, and there's nothing changed today about that," Baddour said at the press conference following Williams' decision to stay at Kansas.
Except that something
is drastically different. For the first time in nearly 50 years, North Carolina was without a coach. Not since 1952 had the Tar Heels been pressed to bring in a new head man. That's the same year Smith won a national title as a player.
Where did he play? At Kansas, of course.
Frank McGuire was hired by the Tar Heels in 1952 and called upon Smith to serve as his assistant in 1958. Smith accepted, then took
over in 1961 when McGuire left for the NBA.
After 36 years, Smith handed the reigns to his assistant, Bill Guthridge. It was always expected that Williams was the next in line for the North Carolina throne. But without Williams, the university was in a mad scramble to find a coach — fast.
Baddour and Smith both knew the implications of having been snubbed by Williams. But they wouldn't admit it.
"No, we don't feel desperate at all," Baddour said. "We're going to find us a good coach."
Yeah, Dicky, we believed you. Just like we believed Eddie Fogler, the South Carolina coach who worked under Smith. Fogler withdrew his name from consideration Friday.

Philadelphia 76ers coach Larry Brown and Milwaukee Bucks coach George Karl both decided to remain with their NBA clubs.
He didn't want to be in the running and not chosen, so he turned things around and put on his best impression of a little kid, saying "Well, I don't want to coach there anyway."
The pickings were slim for the Tar Heels, and the situation was a desperate one. Notre Dame's Matt

Doherty, a member of UNC's 1982 national championship team and a former Kansas assistant under Williams, was the top candidate. Doherty pulled in a good recruiting haul during his first season under the Golden Dome. But people will wonder if a man with just one year of head coaching experience can get the job done in Chapel Hill.
When North Carolina settled on Doherty, the program did just
that—it settled. And for less. It's not often that a top program has to settle for a second choice, or in this case maybe third or fourth or fifth, to fill a coaching vacancy.
The concern in the Tar Heels camp is that maybe that's a sign that North Carolina's time as one of the nation's top programs might be nearing an end. It all started on July 6, 2000.
Remember that date.

Fossils at the KU Natural History Museum offer solid evidence that the earth is about four billion years old, a KU geology professor said in a lecture Sunday.
A lecture by Bruce Lieberman, "The Fossils Speak: The Evidence of Darwin's Theory," was the first event of Kansas Scopes Week, sponsored by the Kansas Citizens for Science. More than 100 people attended the lecture.
Citizens for Science formed last August after the Kansas State Board of Education removed references to the evolution of species and the geological history of the earth from its science standards.
The fossils Lieberman used to make his case for the scientific evidence of evolution have Kansas connections.
He linked one of today's non-poisonous snakes with the mascosaurs of 70 million years ago by pointing to the similarities in skeletal structure.
"Both have strong jaw muscles that developed because of their environment," Lieberman said. "They have the unique hinged jawbones that allow their mouths to protrude to capture prey. Even though the two are separated by 70 million years, the species are linked by similarities."
The Kansas topography in that age — Mesozoic era — was quite different from today. A vast inland ocean covered much of the state and the mosaasaur lived exclusively underwater. The snake's modern-day cousins adapted to land and water while maintaining a strong degree of correlation in the skeletal structure, Lieberman said.
"We may not have the exact date to pinpoint when the mosasaurus lived, but carbon dating gives us a pretty good idea of how old these fossils are," he said.
Lieberman said the lineage of the horse is a good example.
Mesohippus, an ancient horse, lived 20 million years ago. Bearing slight differences in feet and teeth, the horse's oldest and smallest relative moved much faster. During this period, Kansas changed from an inland ocean to an ocean of grass.
To escape its enemies Mesohippus needed quickness and the ability to run long distances because few trees dotted the landscape.
Lieberman used four other examples to illustrate the gradual growth horses underwent as their environment changed. The animals gradually increased in size with the landscape dominated by grassland.
Later, four toes gave way to one large one that slowed down the horse and better supported its larger frame. That change came about as the horse found itself in a more forested environment. The increase in trees and foliage offered places to hide and a greater variety in which to feed. Smaller teeth shaped to eat grass gave way to large incisors with the ability to rip through the flesh of smaller prey.
"The examples you see here are not direct ancestors. It is not a simple progression through time but there are links and similarities," Lieberman said. What you see at the Natural History Museum represents years of scientific research done in countries around the world, he said.
Young-earth creationists behind the

move to discount scientific evolution want to eliminate the geological history of the earth, Lieberman said. They work to weaken the definition of theory by offering hypothesis and speculation as being on equal scientific footing, he said.
"Placing evolution theory alongside that of the Biblical-driven creationists would be like saying we will study the world being flat with the world being round. The two bear no similarities.
Scopes Week continues through Friday. Origins opens at 7 p.m. today in the Lied Center. The play recreates the 1925 Scopes "Monkey Trial," in which a Tennessee public school teacher was prosecuted for teaching evolution.
At 2:30 on July 22, Tom Willis —spokesman for Intelligent Design,a creationist-oriented advocacy group—will lead a tour of the Natural History Museum, and counter Lieberman's explanation of evolution.

University helps foreign students to acclimate
By Jenny Barlow
Special to the Kansan
Eleven foreign Fulbright grantees are participating in a six-week orientation program at the University of Kansas that will prepare them for graduate studies at U.S. universities.
"This is the first year for the program, and it is truly a feather in the cap for KU," said Christa Hansen, special programs coordinator for the Applied English Center, about the Foreign Fulbright Graduate Students Program, which began recently.
"Very few places offer this program, and we are pleased to be invited to host this orientation," she said.
And the Institute of International Education is equally pleased to bring the program
to the University. It was impressed with KU's strong Applied English and orientation programs.
"The AEC has a long-standing, well-respected reputation in the U.S." Hansen said. "Our program is one of the oldest in America. The Fulbright students will attend orientation to graduate education and American society and culture. The classes will review oral presentations, technical writing and research skills, while KU faculty mentors will provide guidance."
Grantee from the program, whose goal is to use educational exchange as a means to increase understanding between the United States and foreign countries, will live in Naismith Hall during the orientation.
They are from several countries, including Venezuela, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Japan and Madagascar, and will study fields ranging from analytic chemistry to political systems, Hansen said. But for Mauro Nunez, a Fulbright grantee from Chile, improving his English skills is paramount to succeeding in graduate studies.
"In the next six weeks, I hope to strengthen my reading and writing skills because I understand that my courses and professors will not pity me because I am foreign." Nunez said.
A reception was held last week by the AEC for the grantees to meet fellow students, staff, and faculty mentors. The program will end Aug. 15, and the grantees will
leave for their respective universities to begin graduate studies.
"This is my first time out of my country," said Abou Bakar Bamba, Fulbright grantee from the Ivory Coast. "After the orientation at KU, I will attend Georgia State University for about five years to receive my Ph.D. in American Diplomatic History."
Some of the Fulbright grantees had exciting first impressions once they arrived at the KU campus.
An introduction to U.S. attitudes also surprised some of the menaces
"It's amazing here," Nunez said. "I couldn't believe the campus when I first saw it because it is so beautiful and amazing."
also surprised some of the grantees. "My first impression was that Americans are very friendly since they are always smiling."
Bamba said. "However, in Africa, we really take time to greet people when meeting someone new, and Americans are more shallow that way."
But grantees also mentioned how American culture was not completely foreign.
"I have a lot of contact with American culture back home in Chile," said Nunez. "I drink Coke and eat at KFC and watch Married With Children and The Simpsons."
Even though the grantees were becoming acclimated to U.S. culture, many of the students said they planned to return to their native country once their Fulbright program ended.
"I will indeed go home when I finish my graduate studies," Bamba said. "The work I do here
will teach me how to manage politics effectively to help my country and the rest of Africa."
The Fulbright Program, which is financed by the U.S. Department of State, has nearly 200,000 alumni from more than 140 countries around the world.
"The Fulbright Program is fantastic because it really helps students in developing countries have the chance to get a good education," said Samuoy Sin, Fulbright grantee from Cambodia. "The program really produces a good impact to the developing world and to America as well."
Each year, about 5,000 Fulbright grants are awarded to students, professors and professionals.

Sealife sites get expansion grants
By Megahn Snyder
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
The National Oceanographic Partnership Program has awarded researchers at the Natural History Museum $1 million in grants to compile population estimates and other data about sealife around the world.
Fishnet, a KU Web site that links collections of fish specimens worldwide, received $500,000 to expand its database. Fishnet's counterpart — a site that relates coral and anemones to their environments — also received $500,000 to expand its database.
Ed Wiley, Fishnet program leader and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said he was excited about the possibilities of growth the grant would bring to the program.
"Every major collection of fishes in North America is a partner in the project," Wiley said. He said he hoped to see the project grow beyond the institutions now participating.
So far, Fishnet has established partnerships with 21 museums around the world, including museums in Stockholm, Sweden; Sydney, Australia; and Paris.
Four partners from the United States attended the partnership program's first workshop during Memorial Day weekend. Program members met with participating institutions to teach them how to use Fishnet software.
Dick Robins, Fishnet team member and the museum's curator emeritus of fishes, said compiling information from around the globe was difficult because much of the material was old and not computerized.
Robins said the site's links would be useful for various people. For example, fishery managers could research where to find fish for breeding, and marine biologists could use the site's data for predicting global population patterns.
The Fishnet software — developed by David Vieglais, a KU research scientist — can also be used for collecting data on other animals. It already has been used to plot owl populations.
Daphne Fautin, professor of entomology and ecology and evolutionary biology, directs Fishnet's counterpart, a site that allows experts to study the effects of environmental conditions such as ocean currents — on marine populations.
Program members will use the grant money to expand Fautin's anemone database to include the work of other experts from America, Russia and Wales. Fautin will use the grant money for travel expenses and database formatting and mapping. On the Net:

Students take bait as fishing experts cast know-how
By Scott Lowe, Jr.
Students arriving at one KU class last week met with the freeze-dried head of a 70-pound flathead bass. Its gaping mouth could easily have fit over a human's head.
Kansan staff writer
The shiny monostrosis — one of the largest flathead bass caught in Kansas
— was snagged by Ted Decker, a guest speaker at the course called "Fish Kansas."
Decker, a Grantville resident, wowed the class with humorous stories, fishing tips and photos as part of the 12 hour, 1-day fishing class taught by Phillip Huntsinger, associate professor of health, sport and exercise science.
Huntsinger — a former marina owner has taught the class every summer since its introduction 15 years ago.
"Even though this class is directed toward the novice," Huntsinger said, "we make sure everybody gets something out of it."
Enrollment in Huntsinger's 1-hour credit class averages 120 students each year. This summer's class had just more than 80. The class included students who were one credit-hour short of graduating, burly football players and those honestly interested in fishing. Women made up ore than half the class.
For full credit, students were directed to take at least two three-hour fishing trips and keep a journal.
Several guests spoke to the class Saturday. All were experts in fields, such as tournament fishing, bass fishing and fish management. Class members took a written exam at the end of the day.
"Even though this originally started out as a recreation course, it's very scientific and academic now," Huntinger said.
Michelle Lee, Lenexa senior, took the course because she needed the credit.
"I'm not really interested in fishing," she said, "But it's interesting hearing the speakers talk."
Tyler Kopp, Topea senior, took the course for different reasons.
"I loved taking some of Dr. Huntsinger's previous courses," Kopp said. "The fishing tips are always useful."
Tim Bowers, Columbus, Ohio, senior, and starting inside linebacker for the Kansas football team, signed up for the class along with about a dozen teammates.
"I learned about this class from friends, who took Huntingster's sex ed course," Bowers said. "It's been interesting and relaxing."
A few of the students were serious fishermen.
David Williams, Overland Park junior, said he had been fishing twice a month since his father taught him to fish at age ten.
"I love fishing, and I took the class to
mighty paint jobs." William said.
mainly pick up pointers," Williams said. Ned Kelde, archivist at the Spencer Research Library and a serious amateur fisherman assisted in the class.
This marks Kehde's third summer working with the course. He is a frequent contributor to In-Fisherman
magazine, and he also writes a weekly outdoor column for the Lawrence Journal-World.
Kehde said that he fished three times a week and that his favorite local spot was Lone Star lake. He lectured Huntsinger's class about the basics of bass fishing.
Chatt Martin of Lawrence lectured about tournament fishing and how to find "hot spots," or places where fish lurk. His speciality is crappie, a fish common in Kansas and relatively easy to catch.
Martin, who won $1,800 in his last tournament, will compete in a $100,000 national tournament in Mississippi this fall. He takes dozens of poles and three tackle boxes filled with lures and tools for a tournament.
"In a tournament, you don't have time to fix something if it breaks," said Martin. "just use a new pole and keep going."
In addition to sharing many of his winning secrets with the class, Martin also shared this fisherman's axiom: "The only time fishermen don't lie is when they're calling other fishermen liars."

Lawrence clears out squatters
City officials finish removing homeless group from river area
The Associated Press
LAWRENCE — City officials have finished removing a squatter camp near the Kansas River, delighting nearby residents and upsetting homeless advocates.
Homeless people had camped near the river in northern Lawrence for the last six years, setting up a small group of tepees. On April 6, the city notified the campers that they would have to leave, and the last tepee was removed on Friday.
No one was living at the site when the work was completed.
"The North Lawrence residents are really happy that this problem is resolved and we won't have a shantytown springing up on the river on the north side," said Ted Boyle, president of the North Lawrence Improvement Association.
But Saunny Scott, a Lawrence resident and advocate for the homeless, said city workers destroyed too much when they removed the last tepee.
"If they wanted to preserve that area, why did they do it in such a destructive way?" Scott asked. "I doubt this is kids doing vandalism. The city sent the bulldozers." Tom Wilkerson, assistant Parks and Recreation director, said his crew took about an hour to carefully clear the camp that once included five teepees.
"We didn't buildoze it. We took a front-end loader over and pulled all the stuff down, and separated all the disposable materials away from the wood," Wilkerson said. "We left all the wood on the site and took the rest away. There is no longer a tent or a tree house or any litter."
He said workers also removed a bench that a family of four who pioneered the camp would visit during the day. Those visits prompted residents to believe someone still lived in the camp.
Wilkerson said. city workers met with members of the homeless family before the removal and told them to take anything they wanted from the site, but they assured him anything left there could be taken down. Scott said she had been in contact with friends of the city after the remains of the camp were removed
Boyle said he had not seen the site since Friday, but was satisfied the homeless campers had been moved from his neighborhood.
"They had tried to keep the place ecologically pleasant, and the buldozing was exactly the opposite," she said. "They are kind of horrified and didn't want to talk to anybody. They moved on but were still trying to keep the site pleasant."
"I understand there are some squatters on the south side of the river too, and as far as the city of Lawrence goes, that doesn't look too good," he said. "But it's not on the north side. North Lawrence residents won't tolerate any squatters on the north side."
Rehab clinic debates drinking treatment
NEW YORK — The director of the Smithers clinic, the celebrity rehab center that treated celebrities such as Joan Kennedy, has quit in a dispute over his decision to adopt a program that allows patients to drink in moderation.
The Associated Press
The resignation of Dr. Alex DeLuca from the Smithers Addiction Treatment and Research Center comes amid a renewed debate over whether problem drinkers should be allowed to drink in controlled fashion or should abstain altogether.
Last month, Audrey Kishline, the founder of Moderation Management, a national organization that promotes moderate drinking for problem drinkers, pleaded guilty to causing a deadly drunken-driving accident in Washington state. She has renounced the movement.
DeLuca's decision to include Moderation Management as a treatment option at Smithers was first reported in last week's New York magazine. He told the magazine: "I humbly submit that this is the way
alcoholics should be treated."
DeLuca resigned Monday under pressure from St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center, which runs the clinic.
The hospital said in a statement that the Smithers center "has a long and proud tradition of treating alcoholism by advocating total abstinence. While we recognize there may be other alternatives in the treatment of this difficult disease, no change in our own program policy was ever approved."
"Since Dr. Alex DeLuca does not support the program philosophy, we have accepted his resignation as director of Smithers," the statement said.
DeLuca could not be reached for comment Tuesday. A call to the only Alex DeLuca listed in New York state was not returned.
In an interview in Tuesday's New York Times, DeLuca said he was not advocating that the Smithers center drop abstinence.
"I was only suggesting that you could engage people in a kinder, gentler manner rather than telling
them that they had to sign up for a goal of achieving abstinence from the beginning," he said.
The Smithers center, whose patients over the years have included writer John Cheever and baseball star Darryl Strawberry, was founded 30 years ago with a $10 million donation from philanthropist Robert Brinkley Smithers, who also started the Christopher D. Smithers Foundation.
The two organizations are no longer linked, and the dispute over controlled drinking has deepened a rift between the clinic and the foundation, which advocates total abstinence for alcoholics and drug addicts.
The foundation took out a fullpage ad in The New Times on Sunday noting that it is not associated with the clinic and that it believes "alcoholism is a disease that requires abstinence-based treatment, and that controlled drinking, under any name, whether it be 'modern management' or 'harm reduction,' is not possible where the disease of alcoholism exists."

Player's eligibility questioned
Maggette admits to taking money
The Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. — Former Duke basketball player Corey Maggette admitted in a sworn statement he took cash payments from a summer league coach while was still a high school student, school officials announced yesterday.
Maggette earlier denied accepting money from Myron Piggle, his summer league coach for a Kansas City-based AAU team. Maggette has been subpoenaed by federal prosecutors to testify about the payments. He already testified before a grand jury about Piggle.
The statement Duke received yesterday was also sent to the U.S. Attorney in Kansas City and to the NCAA, which could order Duke to vacate its runner-up finish in the 1999 NCAA tournament for using an ineligible player.
The statement raises substantial questions about his eligibility to play for the
Blue Devils during the 1998-99 season, said Duke's Executive Vice President Tallman Trask III in a statement.
Maggette left Duke last spring and was drafted in the NBA. He finished his rookie season with the Orlando Magic this year.
Duke had requested the statement to resolve questions about his eligibility after allegations surfaced that he accepted $2,000 from Piggie.
Piggie pleaded guilty in May to a conspiracy charge and faces three to five years in prison for paying Magnette and four other players on his team $35,500 from 1996-98. The players were in high school at the time.
Duke officials have said they were not aware of the payments, but the admission jeopardizes the Blue Devils' program. In addition to possibly forfeiting the second-place title. Duke also might have to return up to $226,815 in tournament revenue.
"Clearly this is not what we wanted to hear, but we are pleased at least we have the facts now," said Duke representative Al Rossiter Jr.
The next step for the NCAA is to see whether rules were violated, he said.
"Clearly we weren't aware of it," Rossiter said. "The issue is was this in fact a violation of NCAA rules and what do they do about it."
It was unclear whether Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski was aware of the statement, Rossiter said. He also has denied knowledge of the payments.
The federal indictment against Piggie claimed he paid the players in exchange for agreements that they would pay him once they received pro contracts and signed endorsement deals. It also said he used the players to secure money from a booster and Nike.
The other players were JaRon Rush of UCLA; his brother, Kareem, of Missouri; Korleone Young, who entered the NBA draft without playing in college; and Andre Williams of Oklahoma State.
A federal hearing in the case scheduled for yesterday in Kansas City was postponed until today.
Partly in response to issues raised by the investigation, the NCAA recently moved to eliminate its 24-day summer recruiting season, when coaches like Piggie parade their players before college coaches. The NCAA has approved trimming the summer recruiting season to 14 days, and then cutting it altogether.
Musical pig farmer paid visit by jurors
The Associated Press
STUART, Fla. — In a case of old Florida versus new, a golf course is raising a stink about the stench and noise from a neighboring pig farm whose owner plays twangy country music to soothe his swine.
A judge and jury got a first-hand sniff Tuesday. Circuit Judge Ben Bryan and six jurors tromped around Thomas Rossano's steamy, rural farm and observed 10 or so 400- to 600-pound pigs rolling around in muddy pens in the 90-degree heat.
They then hopped on golf carts and toured the upscale course.
The Florida Club of Martin County sits about 100 yards across the street from Rossano's property.
Rossano is fighting the golf club's claims in a lawsuit filed in 1997 that the pigs he raises to put food on his family's table smell and the music he plays to soothe the animals are a nuisance.
The Rossanos say the developers knew about the pigs when they began building the golf course and subdivision in the mid-1990s.
Bryan wanted the jurors to assess the situation for themselves and took them to the source of the years-long controversy.
Aguilera and the Red Hot Chili Peppers thumped into three pig pens from speakers attached to a shed on Rossano's property. The swine typically listen to country music, but the radio wasn't tuning very well.
The odor at the farm was definitely noticeable, but did not carry across the street to hole No. 4. The music did — faintly.
Jurors talked about the course and complained about the heat as two golfers prepared to tee off.
he said in pair 47" one asked.
"No I know it is a par 5." another juror said.
Potential jurors were asked questions about their taste in
music, whether they like to play or watch golf and if they prefer city or country living. There will be trial testimony from experts who can attest to the benefits of piping music to farm animals.
During jury selection Monday, one woman was dismissed because she once had a pet potbellied pig.
Back at the clubhouse Tuesday,
one golfer said he'd hate to see the
music turned off or the pigs
removed.
"We love that music. We need a break because it's so quiet out there," said Lance Powell, 35. "I've shot my best round ever out here. Maybe the pigs helped."
Lingerie pioneer forced to file for bankruptcy
The Associated Press
ANGELES
LOS ANGELES Frederick's of Hollywood, famous for its naughty nighties and scandalous push-up bras, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The lingerie company said it planned to keep its nearly 200 stores and its catalog and Internet sales in operation while it reorganizes.
It filed for protection Monday, then said yesterday it had arranged new financing.
Frederick's share of the lingerie business has been stagnant, with revenue reaching about $140 million. Its competitor Victoria's Secret had sales of $2.1 billion in 1999, and chains such as Wal-Mart and Target have grabbed nearly half of the lingerie market.
Chief executive Linda LoRe said Frederick's had tried to upgrade its image by curtailing its sales of erotic paraphernalia.
The company pioneered the development of the push-up bra and black lingerie a half-century ago. It also offers intimate attire in bright colors and leopard-skin patterns. Its derriere-baring thong, introduced in 1981, is a top seller.
Its founder, the late Frederick Mellinger, drew inspiration from revealing pinup photos of Betty Grable when he opened a New York store in 1946. He moved the operation to Los Angeles the following year.

Letter to the Editor
True Tar Heel fans support Williams' decision to stay
As a 1994 graduate from UNC, I was extremely disappointed, but not surprised, that Coach Williams turned down the offer to return as our head coach. Certainly, it was a gut-wrenching decision for the coach, but in my mind it was the correct one.
Coach Williams has an incredible opportunity to be associated with KU basketball much as Dean Smith is with UNC basketball. He has 329 wins, 2 Final Fours, and has more wins than any other coach after 12 seasons. He has the chance to write his own legacy, rather than living in the shadows of Dean Smith in Chapel Hill. He also has great fan support and an exciting arena on a beautiful campus in Kansas. Looking at these facts, it almost seems like a simple decision.
Regardless of the heat certain Tar Heel fans will give the coach, he should know that the true Tar Heel fans will recognize these facts and support his decision. No one should find fault in Roy Williams, for in the end, he conducted himself with the style and grace, the dignity and loyalty that he learned from his days at UNC. Roy Williams is, and forever will be, a greatly admired and respected member of the Carolina family. My best wishes and sincerest admiration go to Coach Williams.
Loss of the fashion maven coach would have been too much

By Jenny Oakson
Kansan guest columnist
When I heard the news June 30, I shed a tear. Sure, I was hung over, but I cried out of sadness, not pain. Roy Williams was being lured away from Kansas..how could we hear to lose such a fashionable coach?
Don't get me wrong. I follow basketball.
But, even more so, I follow a man in a well-
put-together suit. I remember a couple of
years ago when I spotted Roy on TV at one
of the annual preseason Hawaii tournaments. His bronzed face brought out the white highlights in his Ken Doll hair. His
light-colored suit made the opposing team's coach look like a mobster. And he was committing an act more daring than starting T.J. Whatley — he was wearing sandals with a tie. But he could work it.
I'm not alone in noticing Coach Williams' (or his wife's) impeccable taste. In Spike Lee's He Got Game. Roy was debonair as he played a less shiny version of himself. Spike knows what's up. Roy's photogenic. Why else would my mom tape the games? It's all about freeze-frame.
This past season, Roy showed off his knack for accessorizing. His oh-so-Ben
Commentary
Franklin eyeglasses were not only stylish, but also flattering to his oval face shape. Yes, some ties were hideous, but the man is a risktaker. Anyone can look good in paisley, but how many men can wear a multicolored, spectrum-themed prop from "A Clockwork Orange" piece of neck candy?
I wouldn't have been so devastated if I had thought potential new coaches could be as suave. Oh yeah, and as good at coaching as Roy. But just look at who the candidates
were:
were.
That big guy from Utah who always wears sweaters — All I have to say is Mr. Belvedere. Boo-hiss.
■ Rick Pitino — Make the pass or you sleep with the fishes. This man can wear a suit and gets extra points for cuff links, but is that a pinky ring I see?
Bob Hill — Boring. If this coach were a dish he'd be boiled carrots. I see no flair and lots of earth tones.
Matt Doherty — Hmmm. He reminds me of Sam Malone back in the Shelley Long days of Cheers. As assistant coach under Roy for so long, he has definitely learned from the master, but I'm was worried he would have ventured into pastels. And with his winter features, he needs to embrace blues and reds.
We would have all missed you, Roy. But I would have especially missed your style, baby.
Oakson is a 2000 KU graduate and is assistant editor at U-WIRE.
Are you still excited about Roy's decision?

Hip, hip ... hur-Roy
Williams' drama closes with happy ending for Jayhawk fans
Story by Michael Rigg Illustration by Kyle Ramsev
As it turned out, Roy Williams could say no to Dean Smith after all. It just took him a little while.
Just hours after letting Smith —Williams' mentor—know his decision on the telephone, Williams told a burned-out gathering of media, a national television audience and more than 16,000 onlookers in Memorial Stadium Thursday that he would stay at the University of Kansas.
But, when it came down to it, Williams just couldn't bring himself to say goodbye to his players. Ironically, the loyalty Williams showed to Kansas was learned from Smith and former Tar Heel coach Bill Guthridge.
The announcement ended a week of speculation that Williams would accept North Carolina's offer to coach the Tar Heels, Williams' alma mater and dream coaching job.
"I just did what they taught me to do," Williams said. "And that's put my players ahead of my dreams."
The announcement of the decision seemed so simple. Williams walked in front of the gathering, stared down at a prepared statement, and simply uttered the words "I'm staying."
With those two fateful words, Williams put to rest all the North Carolina rumors and, in many ways, became a Jayhawk for life.
"There will be no more job things," said Williams, who has coached the Jayhawks for 12 years. "The next press conference will be when they fire me or when I retire."
Williams struggled with the decision for days. Media in North Carolina reported that Williams had already accepted the Tar Heel job. Williams fueled the rumors when he said last Friday that he had dreamed of coaching at the school ever since he was young, and then visited the Chapel Hill campus on Tuesday.
"If someone held a gun to my head last Thursday, then I probably would have said North Carolina," Williams said. "But then I got in the plane, and it would jump, and I'd change my mind. Then it would bump again and I'd change my mind again."
After that meeting, he slipped out the back door of Strong Hall and, during a stroll around campus, decided to stay. Fans were kept in suspense until the press conference while the University flew Williams' wife and daughter in for the announcement.
In fact, he still hadn't made up his mind as recently as Thursday morning when he met with Bob Frederick, Kansas athletics director, and Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Roy's decision and KU recruiting
The day after his decision, Williams hit the road recruiting for next season, when the Jayhawks will have as many as six scholarships to offer. Monday, Williams was in Indianapolis for the last of three days recruiting at a Nike camp. Later this week he will travel to New Jersey for additional recruiting.
"I am here and I am ecstatic to be here," Williams said. "It's been an excruciating seven days, and again that shows what a lucky person I've been."
A reporter at the press conference called the day after the decision the first day of the rest of Williams' life — a thought Williams found fitting.
Kansas is on the short list of many of the nation's top recruits, namely point guard Aaron Miles of Portland, Ore., and forward David Lee of St. Louis. Leavenworth High's Wayne Simien has already verbally committed to the Javhawks.
Current and former Jayhawks agree that Williams' loyalty will e id Kansas' recruiting tenfold.
"Its a huge bump for our program," Frederick said. "This will obviously be a huge bump for recruiting."
Ryan Robertson, former Jayhawk guard, agreed.
So what's up next for Williams and the Jayhawks?
"Now, no one — not Quin Snyder — nobody, can ever say that Roy Williams
will not be here," Robertson said, admitting that schools used the possibility of Williams' departure against Kansas when he was being recruited.
Dick Baddour, North Carolina athletics director, said that he was obviously disappointed at Williams' decision, but that Matt Doherty — Notre Dame coach, former Kansas assistant and starter for the '82 North Carolina championship team — was a perfect match for the Tar Heel program.
Following Williams' decision to stay at Kansas, Baddour's next choices — South Carolina coach Eddie Fogler and NBA coaches Larry Brown and George Karl — said no to North Carolina, as well.
While Williams didn't pinpoint an exact moment when he decided he would stay, he said he walked around the North Carolina and Kansas campuses alone. After his press conference on June 30, he walked up and down Massachusetts Street and through campus, dipping his feet in the Chi Omega fountain.
Meanwhile in Tar Heel land...
On Chapel Hill, the shock following Williams' announcement dissipated and the search for a new coach ended with one of Roy's former assistant coaches.
"Its not immoral to love two institutions," Williams said. "And I do."
And that love, for now, will keep

Kansas Basketball Notes
Sixteen college-age players are attempting to make the 12-man squad. The team's roster will be announced by Sunday, with the team's first game coming on July 19 against Uruguay.
Both Collision and Gooden made it through the first round of try-outs in May in Colorado Springs. Collison is considered by many as a lock to make the team because of his three previous stints on national teams—the most international experience of any player at the tryout. ESPN.com's Andy Katz reported Gooden will also have a strong shot at making the team.
Sophomore forwards Nick Collison and Drew Gooden are in Miami, Fla., trying out for the USA Basketball 20-and-under squad.
Kansas lost its chance at having three players on the team when sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich was cut during the first tryouts.
- Frederick announced the attendance for Williams' press conference at Memorial Stadium at 16,300. The number drew a chuckle from the media in attendance, because it is the capacity of Allen Fieldhouse.

HANNIBAL, Mo. — On a hilly, brick-covered street, a restored white-frame house has much the same view of the majestic Mississippi River that a legendary American author had more than a century ago.
than a century ago.
The two-story house with a picket fence about 100 miles north of St. Louis is where author Mark Twain lived as a boy.
"I just think it's a wonderful house, a wonderful place to live," said Oliver Schannath, Paderborn, Germany, graduate student. "I would love to have the experience of living in the place for a week. This house reminds me of the old houses I've seen in German museums of this kind."
Schannath was one of seven graduate students who made a one-day trek Friday to Hannibal with Susan K. Harris, a visiting professor from Pennsylvania State University. Harris is teaching a two-week graduate seminar at the University of Kansas called "Mark Twain, the Past and the Creation of Regional History."
In a conversation prior to the trip, Harris said she and her students hoped to learn how Twain had become an American culture icon.
"Why do people associate the Mississippi River Valley with Twain?" she said. "What is it about his work that is so powerful that he has really come to stand for that region? Hopefully, the trip will answer some of those questions, will give us some immediate contact with the landscape that he describes."
Before arriving in Hannibal at about noon Friday, Harris' class stopped at a museum in Mark Twain State Park near Florida, Mo., which is about 30 miles southwest of Hannibal.
The museum's centerpiece is a weathered, two-room wood cabin where Twain was born. Other items on display include paintings, photographs and Twain's handwritten 655-page
"He represents more than himself. He is Americana. He's nostalgia. He's old times."

The Hannibal tour began in the annex of the Mark Twain Museum, where the class was met by museum director Henry Sweets. After watching a video about Twain's life, the group looked at items ranging from one of the author's trademark white jackets to a typewriter and a two-wheel bicycle, both dating back to the late 1800s.
"It was fascinating to see his humble beginnings and how he became this larger-than-life character," said Phyliss Copt, an English teacher at Free State High School and seminar participant.
back on the tail behind the bicycle, is an inscription with one of Twain's quotations: "Get a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live."
"He liked to try out new inventions and machines. He bought one of the first typewriters." Sweets said.
One of the more recent display items in the annex is a 300-pound bronze bust of Twain. Its nose has been discolored by tourists who rubbed their hands on it, Sweets said.
The next stop on the tour was Twain's child hood home overlooking the Mississippi. Inside the house, the class saw a refurbished kitchen, dining room and parlor on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor. At the older museum building next door, the group looked at an orchestrelle, foreign editions of Twain's works and the gift shop.
Sweets next took the class members across the
street for a tour of Grant's Drug Store, which has on display countless dusty chemical bottles in a first-floor exhibit. Twain's family lived for a brief period in the rooms above the store.
Harris and her students also got a glimpse of the nearby law office of Twain's father.
the nearby law office of Twain's father. For the museum's biographical video, Sweets and a film crew re-created a scene that took place in the office, which was described by Twain in one his earlier works, The Innocents Abroad. Sweets, who played the part of a dead man lying on the floor, said it was difficult to perform the scene in an unheated building in 20-degree weather.
"It was very hard to keep from shivering or breathing too deeply," said Sweets, who was wearing only jeans and a flannel shirt during the filming of the scene.
The final stop of the Hannibal tour was a new Twain museum several blocks away on Main Street, which is lined with shops that play on the Twain theme.
Upon entering the museum, Michael Carriger, Ottawa graduate student, reflected on how Twain served as a symbolic as well as a commercialized figure.
"He represents more than himself," Carriger said. "He is Americana. He's nostalgia. He's old times. Although you feel kind of "iffy" about the commercialization of him for everything, nonetheless it brings people here, and it educates them. And that's a good thing."
At one of the main exhibits, class members sat on a simulated wood raft while watching a video that showed excerpts from Adventures of Huckleberry Finn., Twain's famous fictional account of a trip down the Mississippi River.
In a separate exhibit, the group also observed 15 Norman Rockwell paintings that depicted scenes from some of Twain's novels.

"People have absorbed a lot of information, and they have lots to think about in the future."
The Twain seminar is this year's presentation of the Alice F. Holmes Institute, which is sponsored by the department of English. The institute consists of a two-week graduate seminar that focuses on either American or British literature and is taught by a distinguished visiting scholar, said Chester Sullivan, associate professor of English.
By the end of this week, Harris' class will finish its study of selected works by Twain,

"They've been really good," she said. "I think everybody in the class has a different focus, which helps bring us the big picture."
Harris agreed.
"The whole class is dynamic," she said.
"Everyone is really pitching in there and talking.
That's what makes a seminar work."
Schnannath said that he had been introduced to German translations of *Huckleberry Finn* and *Tom Sawyer* while he was growing up, but that this was the first time he had read them in English.
"I have to admit that I had as much fun now reading these books as I had when I was a kid," he said. "That hasn't changed."

The lawsuit, filed Monday, comes after Universal sued Myers on June 5 for breach of contract because he backed out of a movie based on the character Dieter, from a Saturday Night Live skit. Myers has said he backed out because the script needed work.
In the countersuit, Myers is seeking at least $20 million for invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Universal spokesman Jeffrey Sakson said the lawsuit had no merit.

"We implore you to spend a word to denounce that atrocious custom," read a letter signed by Bardot and released yesterday by the Italian branch of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. "You ... can do a lot to stop this terrible way of treating animals, God's creatures."
ROME — Animal rights activist and former sex symbol Brigitte Bardot is urging Pope John Paul II to speak out against bullying in Spain.
Wimbledon champ Sampras joins elite on Wheaties box
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — Wimbledon champion Pete Sampras has become the first active tennis player to appear on a Wheaties box since Chris Evert in 1987.
General Mills unveiled the package Tuesday, after Sampras' record-setting 13th Grand Slam title.
Sampras said it was a great feeling to join the likes of Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali and all the other great athletes who have been on the Wheaties box.
Tennis great Arthur Ashe appeared on a commemorative package posthumously in 1997. Other tennis players who have been featured on the orange box include Don Budge in 1939 and Jack Kramer in 1952.
SYDNEY, Australia — Nicole Kidman, one of Sydney's most famous exports, has pledged $90,000 to the theater group that launched her career.
"I want to give something back to the Australian Theater for Young People, who gave me an enormous amount when I was a teen-ager," the actress said.

Ventura chooses education over his own soap opera
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Gov. Jesse Ventura skipped watching his cameo on the soap opera The Young and the Restless because he was busy talking education.
"You go out, you do it, you have fun doing it," he said Monday. "I'll see a tape of it later. I did it weeks ago. It's not fresh in my mind now."
Ventura played himself on his favorite soap opera, appearing in scenes with stars Melody Thomas Scott and Eric Braeden, who plays villain industrialist Victor Newman on the CBS show.
"Why don't you run with me?" Ventura says. "We'd be the dream ticket."
In one scene, Victor asks Ventura why he decided not to run for president.
Victor concedes it is an interesting idea but says there is one problem who would take the top spot?
Ventura ponders the question for a moment.
"That would be a problem — if our egos were to clash, I don't think the country could survive it," he growls.
Diana Ross in dispute over tour with replacement Supremes
NEW YORK — The tour of the reconstituted Supremes was in turmoil yesterday, with Diana Ross saying it's been canceled and promoters insisting the shows will go on.
Three concerts — in New York on Friday, Washington, D.C., on Sunday and Pittsburgh on Monday — were canceled. The group, which includes Lyda Laurence and Scherrie Payne, has already performed in 12 cities, but to small crowds in some arenas.
Ross issued a statement Monday saying that she was severely disappointed concert promoter SFX had decided to cancel the tour.
But Susan Rosenberg, a SFX spokeswoman, said in Tuesday's New York Daily News that the 23-show tour would continue.
A Ross spokesman, Paul Bloch, said Tuesday that Ross stands by her statement that the tour has been canceled.
The project has been faltering since original Supreme Mary Wilson refused to join the tour because she said she wasn't being paid enough. Cindy Birdsong, who joined the group in the 1960s, also decided not to tour with Ross.
Ross soldiered on with Laurence and Payne, who had joined the Supremes after she left in 1969. The tour may have also been hurt by ticket prices ranging from $42.50 to $250.
USS Kennedy in Boston for maritime celebration
BOSTON  Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy watched the arrival of the
mammoth aircraft carrier that bears
his brother's name with a mixture of
pride and sadness
As the USS John F. Kennedy glided into Boston Harbor on Monday, the Massachusetts Democrat called it a spectacular day for Boston and a tribute to his slain brother. The USS Kennedy, which has been deployed 16 times in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, was last in Boston in 1990.
The USS Kennedy, which entered service in 1968, arrived as part of Sail Boston 2000, which is expected to bring 4 million people to the Boston area to view more than 140 ships.
Universal soldier surrenders; star fined for drunken driving
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Jean-Claude Van Damme was fined $1,200 and put on three years' probation after pleading no contest to two driving-related offenses.
The action film star was not present Monday as his attorney entered pleas to drunken driving and driving without a license.
Judge Charles G. Rubin imposed the fine and ordered Van Damme to attend a 90-day alcohol education program. His driving will be restricted to travel to and from work, and to the program.
Van Damme, 39, was arrested Sept. 23 on Sunset Boulevard. The Belgian-born star of movies like Universal Soldier, Hard Target and Sudden Death failed a sobriety test.

Sci-fi bookload is heavy reading
By Karen Lucas
writer@kansason.com
Kansason staff writer
It's an intense course.
Twenty-five novels form the centerpiece of a two-week course on science fiction that started Monday.
James Gunn, professor emeritus of English and science fiction author, meets with 14 students each afternoon for the course, Intensive English Institute on the Teaching of Science Fiction.
"My interest is in providing a background of a genre so that people can read and understand it better when they're finished," said Gunn, who has offered the course since 1974. "In effect, the whole course is an exercise in definition because science fiction is very difficult to define and the best way to do it is to show how it has developed."
The class began its study of the genre by examining a work by H.G. Wells, whom Gunn described as the founder of modern science fiction.
"Without him, science fiction wouldn't be what it is today," Gunn said. "At the heart of science fiction is H.G. Wells' focus on ideas like the time machine and evolution."
Another writer studied in the course is Hal Clement, who participated in last weekend's John W. Campbell conference on science fiction, which Gunn's students had to attend. The conference was sponsored by The J. Wayne and Elsie M. Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction. Clement also gave a lecture Thursday evening titled "Hard Is Easier."
The class will discuss Clement's novel, Mission of Gravity, which Gunn said depicted a world that was alien to Earth.
"The world is shaped much more like two bowls placed on top of each other," he said. "The creatures who live there have a different understanding of their world than we have of ours."
The course also will focus on one of Gunn's works, The Listeners, published in 1972. Gunn said he wanted to include his novel on the reading list because it would offer students a different type of experience.
"In your class work, you often don't get a chance to ask the author why they did that or what it meant or why they wrote that way," he said.
Christopher Dick, Hillsboro graduate student and instructor of English at Tabor College in Hillsboro, said he was looking forward to hearing his professor talk about *The Listeners*.
Dick also said he had finished reading all the works on the list before the course began. During the two months leading up to the class, he said he tried to read a novel every other day.
"It was a fun list," Dick said, "and since I feel like I'm a novice, this was a good introduction."
Another course requirement is the submission of either a paper or a short story.
"I think people ought to have the opportunity to be creative," Gunn said. "Most science fiction readers want to write science fiction. That's one thing about science fiction, it tends to grab readers because it's a literature of ideas and people generally aren't intimidated by it. They want to write it."

Production sizzles with electrifying performances
Pink Thunderbird showcases actors
By Amy Cummins Special to the Kanson
The actors' skills and the jokes about religious dogma are the best reasons to see the latest University Theatre production.
1959 Pink Thunderbird opened Friday at the Inge Theatre. The production combines two one-act plays, Laundry and Bourbon and Lone Star, directed by John Gronbeck-Tedesco, professor of theater and film.
In Laundry and Bourbon, three women drink bourbon and Cokes while talking about their lives in Maynard, Texas, the Lone Star State.
All three women play off of each other well. Acosta convincingly portrays frustration and love for her husband. Listening to Schemmel, particularly during her phone conversations, is sheer pleasure. Selig is hilariously on-target as a back-porch Baptist with country-club snobbery and a fear of communism.
Elizabeth, played by Andrea Acosta, Overland Park senior, shares her marital problems with Hattie, played by Megan Schemmel, Shawnee senior, as they fold laundry. Amy Lee, played by Jennette Selig, May '99 graduate, tells Elizabeth that she saw Roy, Elizabeth's husband, with another woman in his 1959 pink Thunderbird convertible.
Playwright McLure seems more comfortable writing for male than for female characters. His reliance on stereotypical female behavior is irritating. Gronbeck-Tedesco, however, tries to overcome this problem by helping the audience sympathize with the women.
Lone Star, the second play, takes place behind a town bar. Vietnam veteran Roy, played by Nick Schmitz. Olathe senior,
dressed in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, loves his country, his wife, and his 1959 pink Thunderbird convertible.
Lone Star beer also might be added to that list, because Roy and his younger brother, Ray, played by Lloyd Bolick. Leavenworth senior, consume even more beer than the women in the first play drank bourbon. The dweeby Cletis, played by Aaron Champion, covets Roy's Thunderbird.
Bolick's performance in the role of Ray is the best reason to see 1959 Pink Thunderbird Bolick acts compellingly even when he's not saying a word, and his delivery of dialogue provides the strongest evidence for McLure's playwriting skills. Schmitz is well.cast as Roy, with over-the-top energy, virility and a lust for life.
Explanations of the Ten Commandments generated a lot of laughter.
But the running gag about

Oklahoma does not work. Also, Roy's eagerness to talk about his combat in Vietnam is unrealistic and does not fit with the upbeat tone of the conversation, despite its setting in the late 1970s.
A ride in this 1959 Pink Thunderbird is worth taking, if one does not mind the occasional bumps along the way. The production continues July 13, 15, 21 and 23 at the Inghe Theatre.
Tickets for 1959 Pink Thunderbird and the musical, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, are available from the Murphy Hall Box Office or the Student Union Activities box office.

Comic's X-treme fans will love X-men
TAKEL
By Erin Dean
Special to the Kansan
This weekend, 20th. Century Fox and director Bryan Singer will release an X-treme new movie.
*X-Met* the movie is rooted in an exemplary cast including Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, a powerful telepath and creator of Xavier's School for the Gifted; Halle Berry as Storm; Anna Paquim as Rogue; and Rebecca Romjin-Stamos as Mystique — who is hardly recognizable since she's blue and covered with scales.
The X-Men are mutants — genetically gifted human beings — the world's newest and most persecuted minority group. Besides Rogue and Storm, the group also has Wolverine played by Hugh Jackman, and Cyclops, played by James Marsden.
Amidst an increasing climate of fear and bigotry, Xavier founded a school and safe haven for the outcasts. The new initiates are taught to harness their abilities to promote tolerance and to combat the mounting hysteria that threatens to destroy their kind. Bound by a strict code of honor, they struggle against hostile government agencies as well as mutant supremacist Magneto, played by Ian McKellen, and his factions, which seek to subjugate and ultimately
exterminate humankind
X-Men provides an interesting introduction to the characters of the Marvel comic book series. The movie, however, is lacking in plot development and is surprisingly short—only an hour-and-a-half long. Someone who isn't familiar with the characters before the movie will get a brief introduction — but X-treme fans will probably be satisfied with the excitement and dis
Marvel comic fans will either love X-Men because it revives their childhood fantasies, or hate it because they don't agree with the creative license the director used. The movie definitely targets teen-age boys—and they will definitely love it. College-aged women, however, will be able to pass it up.

We want our MP3s
What does a heavy metal band have in common with a Republican senator from Utah?
A problem with the availability of free music files online.
Metallica and online music executives testified this week on Capitol Hill before a Senate panel
chaired by Senator Orrin
Hakey B Uth
Hatch, R-Uth.
Now, I don't know about you, but I am old enough to re me b em b when politicians and rock stars shook their fists at each other, not shook hands.
Juan H. Heath
BROWN, MICHAEL
But I don't believe that the Recording Industry Association of America has as much to be concerned about as they believe. Granted, Wired.com reports that CD sales are down in cities near college campuses, but just try sticking a computer disc in your car's
www
sound system.
CDs are kinda like books, while you can get tunes for free online, there's still something tactile and compelling about carrying around a case full of music.
Because if you like a
group enough, then you'll go out and buy their music. Just look at Britnite Spears, 'N Sync or even Metallica (I bought their S&M disc and recommend it highly. Have their sales dwindled?
It's producers of those late-night staples, infomercials, who should be more concerned about MP3 files and other forms of electronic duplication of music.
If you hear some cheesy tune that you listened to as a kid at the skating rink, now you can just download it instead of plunking down $15.
www.mp3.com
The instigators of this whole music mess. One of the first sites to provide the technology to convert music to an electronic format that then could be transferred online. It has categories of music that
you can peruse, but supposedly has sold out by making a deal with the recording industry. www.napster.com
www.spinfrenzy.com
The center of electronic controversy. While Napster itself does not provide the free music files, its design allows users to connect and interact with each other, swapping music files. The program also includes an MP3 file player and messaging software that allows users to communicate with each other.
A rival to Napster, but has categories of music like MP3.com. This site also includes videos and photos.
Metallica accuses Web groups of piracy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Metallica drummer Lars Urlrich — an outspoken critic of Internet music sharing — told a Senate committee yesterday that government intervention was needed to stop what he called Internet music piracy.
"I don't think there is a way this can be worked out without your involvement," said Ulrich, whose band led the charge against Napster Inc., whose service allows computer users to make perfect copies of digital recordings on the Internet.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah — a songwriter himself — asked musicians, record company representatives and Internet company executives to explain the industry's fight with companies like Napster and Gnutella, a similar service.
"I think we must let the market work and let history be our guide in not squashing this technology
too soon," said Napster CEO Dave Barry, noting that copyright complaints had been worked out with the arrival of radio, television and satellite television.

"I think the market will sort itself out," said Roger McGuinn, who uses the Internet to promote his current solo career.
Hatch, along with ranking Democrat Sen. Patrick Leahy, DVt., say they are still trying to decide whether government intervention is truly necessary.
"We must protect the rights of the creator." Hatch said. "But we cannot, in the name of copyright, unduly burden consumers and the promising technology the Internet presents to all of us."

stop companies like Napster and MP3.com, which already has settled some of the lawsuits against it.
Free duplication means that artists won't get paid for their work, Urlich said. "Napster hijacked our music without asking," he said. "They never sought our permission, our catalog of music simply became available as free downloads on the Napster system."
However, Barry said Napster users who sample free music ultimately helped artists by going out and buying music.

Pet Rock pioneer wins top prize for bad writing
By Ron Harris Associated Press Writer
By Ron Harris
SAN FRANCISCO — The man who started the Pet Rock craze of the 1970s topped himself yesterday — or maybe sank to a new low — by winning the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest for really bad writing.
Gary Dahl's truly awful winning entry: "The heather-encrusted Headlands, veiled in fog as thick as smoke in a crowded pub, hunched precariously over the moors, their rocky elbows slipping off land's end, their bulbous, craggy noses thrust into the thick foam of the North Sea like bearded old men falling asleep in their pints."
In 1975, the advertising executive invented the Pet Rock, a rock in a cardboard box that sold for $3.95. Brilliant in its simplicity and absurdity, the Pet Rock caught on around the world and millions were sold.
"This is even more important than the Pet Rock," he said. "Now that I've won this award I can just hang it up. I'm finished. There's nothing else I can do."
Dahl said his writing was inspired by a recent pub-hopping tour of England with his brother.
The contest, held annually since 1983 by professors in the English department at San Jose State University, dares entrants to compose bad opening sentences to imaginary novels.
The competition is named for 19th century English novelist Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, whose book "Paul Clifford" begins: "It was a dark and stormy night."

But in the midst of solid compositions lurk noticeable weak spots. The female vocals of Isobel sometimes fail to convey the full meaning of the lyrics.
Belle & Sebastian's newest release is pretty doggone good, almost wonderful even. But it's a bit disappointing. It doesn't make the sun peek out of the clouds on a gray afternoon. It doesn't raise forgotten feelings for first loves. It doesn't distract school girls from their books. And it doesn't conjure up dreams of wild horses.
The reclusive seven-member group sounds like early Simon and Garfunkel, pens Bob Dylan-inspired lyrics, and appears to know the gospel of Peter, Paul and Mary. Under those influences, Belle & Sebastian recall lost innocence, checked pasts, tragic heroes and the fraying kilts of its native Glasgow.
This new release from Matador Records doesn't sound that different from its earlier works. For the most part, the troupe follows the same songwriting recipe for fold your hands.
Their message, simultaneously nostalgic and ultramodern, speaks of love, at once unexpected, reluctant.
The bluesy organ and mournful harmonies of "Don't Leave the Light On Baby" punctate the lead vocals of guitarist Stuart—first names only for this band—that waft in from the Highlands.
Many tracks benefit from perfectly arranged string, horn and woodwind parts that never become overhearing.
The title of the cut, "Nice Day For a Sulk," seems trite at first, but its catchy piano chords and nonchalant snare backbeat give the song an endearing "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" quality.
tainted, overwhelming, doomed and,
ultimately, exhilarating.
At their best, Belle & Sebastian are expert tune smiths who can spin a yarn with the best of them. And although fold your hands falls just short of this critic's uncompromising and semiridiculous expectations, it should find a warm reception among diehard hippers who dream of a Scottish Invasion.
But these should be minor quibbles for most listeners. Rarely does an album grow on you like this one does. It is a testament to the talent and artistry of Belle & Sebastian.

Kid Rock's disk jockey and MC, Matt Shafer, better known as Uncle Kracker, decided to release his own solo effort, Double Wide. For Top 40 listeners and Kracker's fellow hickhop artists, this was a regrettable decision.
UNCLE KRACKER Double Wide
Billed as the laid-back Yin to Kid Rock's thunderous metal Yang, with roots in funky Detroit rock 'n' roll, Motown, country, southern rock and hip-hop, Kracker supposedly tops everything with his own flowing, loose-limbed, story-telling rans
Come again? Kracker strives to create rough and tumble beats with country-tinged instrumentation that, if pulled off, could serve as an updated soundtrack to Urban Cowboy.
But Kracker's abandonment of the raw shock value so successfully employed by his compadre Kid Rock is puzzling. The MC's pseudothuggish lyrics, accented by juvenile rhymes that exhibit a severe shortage of vocabulary, portrait Kracker as a big softie.
But it doesn't happen. Instead, we get generic beats that lack any semblance to a funky Detroit. Some tracks seem to follow the well-worn conventions of boy bands, presumably to make them more accessible and radio-friendly.
On "You Can't Take Me," Kracker bleats these forgettable lines: "I've been wasin' all my time/ And I've been drinkin' all that wine/ And I've been drinkin' all that beer/ And I've been sheddin' all these tears! I can't go and you can't stay/ You're not gonna take me out that way."
The album was recorded during the Kid Rock Tour in a makeshift studio at the back of the tour bus. But this didn't produce an authentic stripped-down sound. The songs were slickly produced and lack any real depth or emotion. And the liner notes are just too much with their pictures of Kracker trying to look hard in a pair of goofy shades.
In the end, Kracker simply comes across as a clown. *Double Wide* will have listeners crying "foul" long before they cry "Uncle."

Union strike doesn't halt filming
Producers are still pumping out ads
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — When Americans were tied to their TV sets for news of the Persian Gulf War, they also were endlessly bombarded with a motel commercial featuring actress Liz Zazzi.
"I was on CNN every day, all during the Gulf War," Zazzi recalls. "A friend called me up and said, 'You're so cute, I see you on CNN every morning. You must be so rich."
Wrong, says the New York actress. Because performers receive a flat fee for ads running on cable, Zazii earned about $500 for an unlimited 13-week showing of the 1991 spot.
Now it's union actors like Zazzi and the ad industry who are at war: Advertisers want to extend flat-fee payments to broadcast network commercials, which currently earn residuals for performers each time the spot airs.
Actors, in turn, are seeking to expand "pay-for-play" to cable spots. The result is a 10-week-old strike by the 135,000 members of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.
The dispute has been marked by charges and countercharges of unfair labor practices, allegations of racial insensitivity and economic losses for Los Angeles and New York as nonunion ad production is driven to lower-profile areas.
Athletes including Tiger Woods and Shaquille O'Neal, whose commercial work requires their membership in SAG, have been pulled into the fray. Richard Dreyfuss and other stars have lent their fame to the cause of the mostly anonymous commercial
performers.
Each side has claimed its share of success since the May 1 strike began.
Advertisers insist their ability to produce spots has been unaffected by the walkout because of the availability of nonunion performers.
"The industry produced 862 commercials from May 15 to June 15, the same level as if there was no strike," said attorney Ira M. Shepard, representing the American Association of Advertising Agencies and the Association of National Advertisers.
"If the industry can do that, notwithstanding strikes and picketing and yelling and screaming, it isn't good news for the union," Shepard said. "Eventually, they've got to figure we can do it without them. I'd much rather do it with them."
The guilds point to their disruption of nonunion commercial shoots via protests and contend they have weakened the industry's unity through interim agreements.
Bypassing major ad agencies in favor of smaller firms willing to sign interim pacts has allowed Pepsi and other companies to quietly make union commercials during the strike, SAG and AFTRA claim in trade paper ads running Friday.
On another front, the unions maneuvered Ford's Lincoln-Mercury unit into suspending ad production during the strike.
Ford's decision came after SAG-AFTRA accused the company of darkening the face of a nonunion, white stunt driver so he appeared black in a commercial featuring black actors — a notorious, outdated practice called a "paint down." Ford denied the allegation.
The guild assertion that dozens of major advertisers are making union ads through interim agreements was dismissed by Shepard as "baloney."

"While it's conceivable some could sign, that doesn't lessen the solidarity of the vast majority. Nor does it mean the industry is going to change its bargaining position," he said.
Union leaders were talking tough as well.
"We're applying pressure to the advertisers in ways they've never seen SAG-AFTRA do before," said Todd Amorde, chairman of the union's strike committee. "We intend to escalate that; we haven't even begun to give them our best shot."
The actors' guilds — energized by the new leadership of SAG president William Daniels of "St. Elsewhere" and "Boy Meets World" — have been capitalizing on union ties.
"Never before have we worked so closely with the AFL-CIO; they are helping us to make alliances with other unions," Amorde said, adding that pressure from the United Auto Workers helped gain the Ford agreement.
At issue is money and respect, actors say.
The "pay-per-play" residuals bring actors roughly $50 to $120 each time a spot airs on network television, in addition to the minimum $478 they get for a day's production work. For cable TV spots — which now represent about two-thirds of all ads made — the flat fee is $1,000 or less for each 13-week run.
"I want to be fairly paid for my distinctive contribution," said actor Todd Susman of Los Angeles, who plays a grouchy, tutu-wearing tooth fairy in an
electric toothbrush ad and does other TV and radio spots.
"The advertising industry is boasting about record profits and they come to the table offering us pay cuts," Amorde said. Pre-sales of network commercial time for the upcoming fall TV season reached a record $8.2 billion, a 15 percent increase over 1999, and cable and syndication "upfront" sales also rose significantly.
But unions are distorting the picture, advertisers say. They argue that the changing television landscape has made current residuals obsolete in any economy.
The fee structure dates from the 1950s and '60s, when ABC, NBC and CBS claimed virtually all the TV audience. Now, six networks fight for 50 percent of the audience, while cable and satellite channels claim the rest.
"It makes no economic sense in the television environment in the year 2000 to pay each time a commercial is used," said Shepard. "We sorely need a modernization of the contract."
The industry's offer, which it characterizes as a "residual guarantee" of $4,202 for an ad's 13-week unlimited network and cable commercial run, represents a hefty 37 percent increase for at least half of SAG members, he said.
Union officials scoff at the proposal, saying the boost in the fee actors would receive for cable ads is offset by the elimination of network pay-for-play. "It's really taking money from one pocket and putting it in another," SAG spokesman Greg Krizman said.
The unions also are seeking jurisdiction over ads made for the Internet and a monitoring system to ensure actors are receiving proper residuals.
In a bid to revive negotiations that stopped in April, federal mediators have scheduled informal talks with both sides July 20 in New York.

Teen show to debut in WB lineup
Young Americans face thrill of youth, turmoil of adulthood
By Ben Nuckols Associated Press Writer
BALTIMORE — It's a curious malady—one that doesn't get much attention, and the concentration of those afflicted is particularly high around Baltimore. It's called Homicide withdrawal.
While the critically acclaimed, Peabody award-winning police series never gained a large national audience, the devotees in its city of origin were fanatical. For true fans, withdrawal symptoms persist, even if time dulls their pain.
A few people who work in the television industry, however, have found a cure. TV production has returned to Baltimore with Young Americans — premiering at 8 p.m. Wednesday on the WB — and the tight-knit crew that made Homicide possible is back at work.
The crew sees nothing wrong with that. Their workplace moved from the city's roughest streets to a sound stage in the industrial Locust Point neighborhood and a handful of idyllic locations outside the city line. Their goal is to transform Baltimore into Rawley Academy, a private school in a lakeside New England village.
The similarities between the two series end there. Instead of tough crime stories, Young Americans is a prep-school drama in the tradition of Beverly Hills, 90210 and Dawson's Creek, casting young adults as teen-agers and placing them in outrageous situations.
Review
A mansion north of the city provides the exterior for the school.
and the lake is nearby Loch Raven Reservoir. Sleepy Havre de Grace, at the mouth of the Susquehanna River 33 miles northeast of Baltimore, stands in for the New England town.
From these locations emerges an airbrushed, anonymous Baltimore, one that appears to be much further north. Steven Antin, creator and executive producer of Young Americans, said he was amazed at the city's bounty.
"Baltimore is mostly known for Homicide, which had illustrated the grittiness of it," Antin said. "What we've discovered is an incredibly beautiful city."
Production designer Vincent Perenia, who worked on Homicide for its entire seven-year run and also has worked with Baltimore-based filmmaker John Waters, says he's enjoyed the opportunity to create an idealized milieu.
"It's about youth. It's about lushness," he said. "It's really going to be a gorgeous show."
The show's beauty extends beyond the locations. Antin has followed a WB formula by assembling a cast of virtual unknowns who are easy on the eyes. In particular, Kate Bosworth and Ian Somerhalder are likely to inspire scores of adoring Web sites.
Antin, 35, says Young Americans represents the perfection of youth. Yet he has filled their lives with the turbulence of adulthood. Here's a list, by no means complete, of the issues that pop up in the first episode: class conflict, gender confusion, the possibility of incest, lying, cheating, abusive parents, philandering parents, love, lust, disappointment and self-discovery.
"It's chock full of incidents and twists and turns," Antin said.
Among them is a female character who attend all-boys Rawley Academy. Unlike Teena Brandon, the subject of last year's emotionally wrenching film Boys Don't Cry, Jake Pratt (Katharine Moennig) isn't suffering from a gender-identity crisis. Her predicament is played for comedy and sex appeal, as she falls for fellow student Hamilton Fleming (Somerhalder).
Then there's the romance between privileged Rawley student Scout Calhoun (Mark Famiglietti) and the striking townie Bella Banks (Bosworth). They fall in love with astonishing quickness, only to find out they're brother and sister.
The relatively stable presence at the show's center is Will Krudski, the point-of-view character, played by Rodney Scott with a chip too large to fit on Will's 15-year-old shoulders. An otherwise intelligent working-class kid, Will has cheated on Rawley's entrance exam to gain admission.
"We were all sad when Homicide left because we thought it was a quality show," Perenia said. "And now, this looks like it has a good possibility of being a hit."
The former Homicide crew hopes the show will catch on enough to continue on the WB after the summer.
Elsewhere in television .. Actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, along with Chris Moore, are executive producers of a new reality-based series that has a 13-episode commitment from HBO. Greenlight will chronicle the making of an actual feature film, from the time prospective scripts are submitted through production and its opening. It is expected to debut on HBO in 2002.

Section B·Page 9
Chuck & Buck wanders a dark memory lane
By David Germain
AP Entertainment Writer
A reunion between boyhood friends — one an arrested adolescent, the other an up-and- comer in the record industry. Co-stars who include a former producer of *Dauson's* Creek and the brothers who brought you American Pie. The breezy title *Chuck & Buck*.
Teen time at the movies again? Not quite. Chuck & Buck is a dark misfit of a movie that's sweet, scary, thought-provoking and off-putting all in one package.
It's a bold, original achievement, the sort of movie that could give homoerotic stalkers a good name.
Buck O'Brien — played by Mike White, who spent two years with Dawson's Creek and wrote Chuck & Buck — is a 27-year-old man-child. He still plays with toys, sucks lollipops, dresses and talks like an 11-year-old and lives with his ailing mother.
When Mom dies, Buck tries to rekindle ties with his childhood best buddy, Chuck Sitter. Trouble is, Chuck has grown up to be Charlie Sitter — American Pie producer Chris Weitz — a hot young Los Angeles recording exec with a lovely flair.
Charlie responds the way any man confronted by an unwanted apparition from his past would: He politely, nervously and, later, forcefully gives Buck the brushoff.
Review
"I don't think he wants to be my friend any more," Buck laments. "He thinks I'm not normal."
But Buck also possesses a child's single-minded determination. A decade and a half later, Charlie remains the best friend — the only friend — in his lonesome life.
What transpires is a stalk down memory lane. Buck cannot understand why Charlie no longer wants to climb trees with him — or participate in the other secret games they once shared, pastimes Charlie cannot bear to recall and Buck cannot live without.
"Do you remember me?" Buck plaintively asks in the pivotal scene of this belated coming-of-age story.
"Yeah, I remember you," is Charlie's — Chuck's—bittersweet confession. "I remember everything."
This is a thinking person's Disney's The Kid Both films examine forgotten youth, but while The Kid settles for sugarcoated gags, Chuck & Buck is witty, intelligent, blunt and disturbing.
Buck is wavy,俊俏,贤淑 and disturbing. The film contains scenes of surprising gentleness juxtaposed with moments of perversely comic menace. White's script elicits deep sympathy for Buck, though he's the sort of person most people would seek a court order against.
Weitz and White are believable as friends who
There's excellent comic turns by Lupe Ontiveros as a theater manager who becomes a surrogate mother for Buck, and Chris Weltz 'brother Paul -- director of American Pie -- as a Chuck look-a-like who offers Buck the chance to repeat his obsession or advance to a mature friendship.
cook different paths, or rather a friend who went one way while the other stopped in stupefaction at the fork in the road.
Chuck & Buck co-producer Beth Colt gives a perceptive, compassionate performance as Charlie's fiancee, a woman with both tenderness and twinges of fearful jealousy toward Buck and the boyish, no-girls-allowed misogyny he evokes.
Directed by Miguel Arteta (Star Maps), the movie was shot on digital video, which provides an intimate, washed-out look suitably reminiscent of old home movies.
Chuck & Buck played the Sundance Film Festival this year and had the enviable distinction of being acquired by Artisan Entertainment, the distributor that bought The Blair Witch Project at Sundance 1999 and turned it into a blockbuster.
This new acquisition is not the stuff of block-busters. For moviegoers who don't mind a bit of squirming in their seats, though, Chuck & Buck offers insightful reflection into the darker sides of the childhoods everyone has left behind.

Last Friday, Douglas County District Judge Michael Malone rejected Kelly Barrow's petition that she be considered a Kansas resident when paying tuition.
A KU student has lost another round in her battle with the University of Kansas and the Board of Regents for in-state resident status.
Barrow, Lawrence senior, took her case to the court last December after losing an appeal to the University's Residency Appeals Committee. Before that, the Office of the University Registrar had turned down the residency application that Barrow had submitted at the beginning of the fall semester.
In his written order, Malone ruled that Barrow did not meet the Board of Regents requirement that an individual reside in Kansas for one year prior to becoming a student.
"Although Ms. Barrow has lived in Kansas continuously for four years, she has been enrolled as a student at all times during those four years, either at JCCC or KU," Malone wrote. "This continuous enrollment, even during summers, works against Ms. Barrow because it leads to the presumption that she is only living in Kansas for educational purposes."
Malone also ruled that Barrow's main source of income was out-of-state. Since June 1997, Barrow has worked for Regional Respiratory Care in Leawood, which is part of a company that her mother owns in Missouri.
"Maintenance of ties with another state, including financial support, may be considered sufficient evidence that the residence in the other state has been retained." Malone wrote.
He also rejected Barrow's argument that she was a Kansas resident because she had to pay out-of-state tuition at Longview Community College in Missouri in the summer of 1998. According to an earlier court decision, students can lose their resident status elsewhere and still not qualify for Kansas residency.
Barrow was unavailable for comment yesterday. Edited by Phil Coutinho

Early risers reap rewards from local farmers market
By Megah Snyder
writer@kansan.com
Special to Kansan
It is 6 a.m. on a warm Saturday. The sounds of people chattering and birds chirping are everywhere. Dogs big and small are getting their morning walk. The smells of all sorts of freshly cut flowers drift through the air. Signs like "We have catnip again this week" and "Iris' next week" are displayed on tables that showcase this week's woodyes.
Tailgates overflow with locally grown sweet corn, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, peppers, greens and eggplant. Scattered between the produce are tables of homemade soaps, flowers, candles and other home accessories.
It is another morning at the Farmers Market
Katie Mowrey, Lawrence vendor, is one sleep 13-year-old. Mowrey, along with her dad and grandparents, wakes up at 5:45 every Saturday morning to get her grandmother's stand ready for the big day.
"I do it for the money — and it's fun too," Mowrey says.
She sells produce and homemade jellies and potholders at the stand. "My dad and grandpa work the garden, the rest my grandma does."
Mowrey meets many people at the Farmers Market. They tell her about their own experiences making and growing things at home.
Just behind Mowrey is another vendor, Lawrence resident Debi Taylor.
Taylor is proud of the Lawrence Farmers Market. She say that although there are other markets in Oskaloosa, Topeka and Tonganoxie, she sees many regulars every Saturday from Overland Park and Kansas City.
She stands behind her table in front of her station wagon chatting with a neighboring vendor who scampers off to her stand to attend to a customer.
"We just have the best," she says.
Taylor says that one thing that sets the Lawrence Farmers Market apart from others is that everyone brings their dogs.
"You look around and you see a plethora of dogs," she said.
Taylor's preparations for Saturday begin Friday evening. She calls it the "Big Get Ready," when she restocks her merchandise, relablishes her homemade soaps and trims the leaves on her cut flowers.
People come to the Farmers Market and walk their dogs at the same time.
Saturday she gets up at 5 a.m. to load her car and heads off for another m.a.m. at the Farmers
She says that Crystal Harris has the best coffee and creamer. Harris, Lawrence vendor, describes her snickerdoodle coffee as a mix of cinnamon and nut. Her creamer sits in a china bowl.
Market.
Taylor's advice to those who attend: "Don't forget your coffee."
Although Harris has shopped at the Farmers Market for years, this is her first year selling her
Along with coffee, she sells baked goods and homemade candle lanterns.
Harris' neighbor, Jeanie Bundy sits in front of the Free State Brewing Co. stand eating her breakfast burrito and taking a break from shopping for produce.
Bundy is a regular at the Farmers Market. She knows where to buy the best foods.
She buys much of her produce — such as berries and corn — at the market. She also enjoys the homemade foods like relish and sweets that different stands sell.
But she always comes early. Much of the farmers' produce is sold soon after the market opens at 6:30 and by 10:30, the vendors start packing their things and loading them into their cars.
For shoppers who can't make the early Saturday round, the Farmers Market is also open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 6:30 p.m.
The market is at 10th and New Hampshire and runs from May 13 to Nov. 11.

Library outgrows 'temporary' home
By Joshua Richards
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
The Government Documents Library is being moved to Anschutz Library this week for lack of space in its old home on the sixth floor of Malott Hall.
Denise Stephens, head of Anschutz Library, said Malot Hall, a science building, was never intended to be the permanent home for the collection.
"It's obviously not designed for a public service area," Stephens said. "They have absolutely no room for growth."
The Malott location also has only one accessible elevator and no clearly marked directions.
Yet, government documents stayed at its "temporary" Malott location for 11 years
The space in Anschutz came from the underground expansion of levels 1 and 2. The Level 2 north wing was finished at the end of June and added 22,000 square feet to the library.

KU hires firm to design new student rec center
The planned student recreation center moved one step closer to completion last week.
On Monday, University Architect Warren Corman said Ken Ebert Design Group Architects of Manhattan, Kansas has been selected to design the recreation
center.
Corman said another meeting is planned with the Ken Ebert firm to review the scope of services and the company's proposed fee. After an agreement has been reached, a formal written contract can be drawn up. Corman said.
Corman said that the recreation center will be one of the first buildings that students and visitors see when they drive onto campus from the south. "We want the recreation facility to be attractive for prospective students," Corman said.
Corman said that the Ken Ebert firm was selected from a short list of five architectural firms. Corman said the Ken Ebert firm built a $7.9 million, 76,000 square foot addition to the student recreation facility at Kansas State University.
Corman also said that bonds will be issued in September to finance the project, and afterwards the architectural firm may begin work at the site.

Merc considers move to Ninth and Iowa space
ers of the Community
Owners of the Community Mercantile Co-op have purchased a two-month option to lease the retail space formerly occupied by Alvin's IGA at Ninth and Iowa.
Community Mercantile board mem ber Lisa Harris said the store still had no plans to move.
"We are having market research done and we are doing our own research too," Harris said. She said the board of directors plans to consider the cost of moving the store and will review all of the available information before making a decision at the end of August.
Harris said that the board's decision was not influenced by the possibility of a health food store moving into the vacated IGA space. Harris said board members were looking at the situation in terms of what is best for the store and the customers.
Joe Schmidtberger, owner of Alvin's IGA, said he wanted to give the Community Mercantile "first dibs on the location because it is a local company."
"I've got three other companies looking at the space. They are doing market research now. If the Merc says no, the other companies will be ready to roll," he said.

Rodman also pleaded guilty to driving without a valid California license. At the time, he was driving with a Texas license. Rodman lives in Newport Beach.
Rodman said through his lawyer that he voluntarily enrolled in the alcohol education program before the plea was entered.

K-state conference to study wind energy as electricity source
By Nick Krug
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
Kansas winds can be annoying and destructive, but at least they blow consistently.
Kansas' dependable winds has prompted the Kansas Energy Research Center to explore the possibility of harnessing those winds to generate electricity.
The Kansas Energy Research Center — a division of the Kansas Geological Survey at the University of Kansas — develops programs related to state, regional and national energy needs.
The first statewide conference on wind energy will be July 25 at Kansas State University. A group of 37 organizations will be involved in the conference.
Bob Dixon, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Department of Education.
Renewable Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy, will deliver the keynote address.
"Sessions will be held on the potential for wind energy in Kansas, ways to stimulate the market for wind energy in the state, the basics of getting started in wind energy, rural community wind projects and tying wind generators into the electric system," said Rex Buchanan, associate director of the Kansas Geological Survey.
The conference will also include a trade show for display and discussion of equipment for converting wind power into electricity.
"The wind may be free, but the equipment for producing energy from the wind is not. Before we can produce large amounts of energy from the wind, people need to learn about accurate siting of wind projects, the social and legal aspects of wind power, backup systems, and how to install, operate, and maintain such systems." said Scott White, assistant scientist at the Energy Research Center and one of the conference organizers.
Wind can be converted into electrical energy through the use of turbines, with blades that look much like large airplane propellers that rotate when the wind blows.

By some measures, Kansas is the third windiest state in the country.

country behind North Dakota and Texas.
"Wind is a resource we can get right out of Kansas instead of importing coal from another state," White said. "Also, the only pollution involved with wind energy is in producing the turbines. After the turbines are up and working, there are no emissions into the air."
White and other organizers of the conference hope that topics such as the environment and the long-term economics of energy will be discussed and that the meeting will initiate interest in wind energy generation.
Included among the organizations and individuals planning to attend the conference will be Kansas Corporation Commission chairman, John Wine; Kansas State University President John Wefald; and Western Resources executive vicepresident Carl Koupal.

Panelists divided, argue evolution-creation issue
By Jim O'Malley editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
The panelists in the discussion that followed Wednesday's premiere of *Origins* couldn't agree on much — not even on whether the play was mistitled.
"All that biological evolution says is that living things have common ancestors," said Eugenie Scott, director of the National Center for Science Education. "The origin of life is not evolution. Neither is the Big Bang theory."
Leonard Kristhalka, director of KU's Natural History Museum, said that evolution concerned only biological origins—the origin of species—but that the ultimate origins of the universe and of life were not part of the study of evolution.
PEOPLE FOR THE AMERICAN WAY FOUNDATION
But Tom Willis, president of the Creation Research Society for Mid-America, said science applied evolution to everything. His organization's Web site says evolution is responsible for much of the evil in the modern world.
Ed Asner speaks about the Kansas evolution controversy. He performed at the Lied Center July 12. Photo by Jim O'Malley/KANSAN
The goal of Willis' organization is to "show that Biblical Creation, because it is true, is the only 'scientific' explanation of origins, and therefore is the only account of origins that can possibly be useful to science," according to the group's Web site, www.csama.org.
John Calvert, corporate attorney and director of the Intelligent Design Network, argued that science's inability to explain the origin of life undermined the principle of biological continuity that underlies evolutionary theory.
Calvert is an advocate of intelligent design, the idea that living things are not the product of natural processes, but are designed by a creator. The modern intelligent design movement was founded by Berkeley law professor Phillip Johnson in the early 1990s. The movement's leaders have academic credentials in a variety of fields, such as law and philosophy, but the movement has little support among biologists.
Calvert said there were two answers to the question of origins. One is naturalistic, based entirely on chance and necessity. The other answer, he said, was that life's origin and diversity are the result of design.
He said there was evidence supporting intelligent design, but that modern scientific naturalism excluded design. This was bad logic, bad science, bad culture, and bad law, he said.
Calvert said that the Scopes trial represented censorship of evolutionary theory. But now, he said, science is censoring scientific evidence of design.
"If modern science would allow design to be tested in a fair and open manner, I wouldn't have to be here," he said. Tom Willis agreed.
Tom Willis agreed.
"Genie argues it is an establishment of religion to teach anything contrary to evolution," he said. "But they have excluded everything but evolution. That is biotomy."
Scott said science was not engaged in censorship. Science examined young earth creationism in the 1980s and found it wanting. And the newer intelligent design movement, she said, has not established itself in research at the university
"It is not being used to guide research," she said. "You don't establish a scientific field by affirmation. You establish it by hard work."
level.
Scott said after the debate that science was not what philosophers, lawyers or political activists say it is or should be. The real definition of science is what scientists do.
"Scientists generally don't have a definition." Scott said. "They just go out and do it."
104. So-called "they just go out and do it"
Ideas that are not supported by scientific research should not be taught in public school science courses, she said.
Intelligent design advocates want to change science so it lets in a designer, Scott said. That would introduce the supernatural into science.
"Science lacks the tools to evaluate the supernatural." she said.
Kristalka agreed. He said creationism and intelligent design were not scientific because they were based on the supernatural—which can't be examined scientifically. Intelligent design was no different from Biblical creationism in that respect, he said.
"Intelligent design is creationism in a cheap tuxedo," he said.
Kristalka said that through the ages, new knowledge has made people uncomfortable. The persecution of Galileo was one example. Knowledge that the earth was not the center of the universe shook people because it meant we lost our centrality. he said.
"The church took out its discomfort on Galileo," he said.
Darwin's discoveries did the same thing, Krishtalka said. Darwin showed that humans were not specially created but are related to other animals. This was humbling for humans.
Lots of knowledge is uncomfortable, Kristishka said — the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda, for example. But it is no less true, he said.

Actors Ed Asner and Shirley McKnight are Kansans and proud of it.
Origins recounts historic trial, sparks dispute
But they aren't proud of the Kansas State Board of Education's controversial decision last August to remove Darwinian evolution from the state's science education standards.
Which is why they and other actors were at the Lied Center last Wednesday to perform in a new play, Origins, based on the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial in Dayton, Tenn.
"So much science supports evolution." Asner said. "Kansas has put itself in a more bumbling position than Tennessee was in 75 years ago, and this saddens me because it's my state. This state is too good to let it continue."
The play and a panel discussion on evolution after the performance were sponsored by the People for the American Way Foundation, a liberal advocacy group based in Washington. D.C.
Ralph Neas, foundation president, said that the evolution-creation debate was national, but that "Kansas is today's ground-zero in the battle over evolution."
Neas said public school students should be taught about creationism, but not in science courses.
"Religion should not be removed from the public arena," he said. "But that's a far cry from teaching creationism as science."
In 1925, it was illegal in Tennessee to teach any theory that denied the story of divine creation as taught by the Bible, and to teach instead that man was descended from other animals. High school teacher John Scopes broke that law and was prosecuted in a highly publicized trial. Three-time Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan headed the prosecution. Famed criminal defense attorney Clarence Darrow defended Scones.
The primary elections for state board of education candidates are on Aug. 1. But Neas said the play and panel discussion were educational, not political. The date was chosen because last week was the 75th anniversary of the Scopes trial, he said.
Legally, the result of the trial was less than earth-shattering. After a week of legal wrangling, Scopes pleaded guilty and was fined $100. And the Tennessee
Supreme Court didn't consider any constitutional issues on appeal. It set aside the conviction because the judge lacked authority to impose fines over $50.
But the trial drew enormous attention from the press, including famed columnist H.L. Mencken. And the trial was broadcast over the radio.
Asner, who is best-known for playing crusty newsman Lou Grant on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in the 1970s, played Bryan. James Cromwell, whose roles include Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of the warp drive in Star Trek: First Contact, played Darrow.
Karin Bowersock, the playwright, said Bryan and Darrow were brilliant speakers. She took all the dialogue from the transcripts of the trial and Mencken's columns.
Evolution was taught without controversy for 60 years after Darwin's Origin of Species was published in 1859. Lawyer and historian Edward Larson, author of a Pulitzer Prize-winning book on the Scopes trial, said that was unlikely to happen again because mandatory public high school education was a 20th-century phenomenon. Evolution wasn't taught in elementary school. It became an issue in the 1920s because Bryan picked it up, and he was a great speaker.
"It's not enhanced," she said. "They were really that good."
During the panel discussion after the play, Larson was asked to predict how the controversy would end. "I'm a historian, not a prophet," Larson said. "But the battle will continue."
Panelist Eugenie Scott, director of the National Center for Science Education, said creationist claims were the same now as they were 75 years ago.
"I don't see that we made very much progress at all," she said.
Panelist Tom Willis, president of the Creation Science Association for Mid-America, said that on that one point, he agreed with Scott, although from a different point of view.
The two other panelists were corporate attorney John Calvert, director of the Intelligent Design Network, which advocates the teaching of alternatives to evolution, and Leonard Kristalka, director of KU's Natural History Museum. Michael Davis, law professor and former dean of the law school, moderated the discussion.
Larson said after the debate that the
ARGUING OVER EVOLUTION
Bryan
"The world shall know that these gentlemen have no purpose but ridiculing every person who believes in the Bible."
"I think it is only fair that the country should know the religious attitude of the people who come down here to deprive the people of Tennessee of the right to run their own schools."
"They did not come here to try the case in hand. They came here to try revealed religion. I am here to defend it." Darrow
"I object to your statement. I am examining you on your good ideas that no intelligent Christian on earth believes."
"We have the purpose of preventing bigots and ignorants from controlling the education of the United States."
"What we here find today is as brazen and bold an attempt to destroy learning as was ever made in the Middle Ages. The only difference is, we have not provided that they shall be burned at the stake. But there is time for that, your honor. We have to approach these things gradually."
"To call a man a doubter in these parts is equal to accusing him of cannibalism. The four Methodists on the jury are suspected of being against hanging Scopes, at least without a fair trial. The state tried to get rid of one of them, even after he had been passed; his neighbors had come in from the village with the news that he had a banjo concealed in his house and was known to read "The Literary Digest."
"There is, it appears, a conspiracy of scientists afoot. Their purpose is to break down religion, propagate immorality, and so reduce mankind to the level of brutes." "Davinci is, the Devil."

people of Kansas may have reason to be disturbed when half the people on stage in a debate over a scientific theory were lawyers.
"Lawyers lawyerize every issue," he said. "They polarize issues because they are trained in an adversarial system. The world needs fewer adversaries and more conciliators. Conciliation is always possible, but I'm not going to suggest the terms of the conciliation because I'm not a scientist. I don't think that you're going to get there with lawyers."

Letter to the Editor
Despite Kansan's errors professor appreciates coverage
tions worthy of Monty Python that I feel need to be addressed.
Every year when I teach Geology 121, Prehistoric Life, at KU I try to emphasize the difference between my class and the similarly titled movie by Monty Python, The Meaning of Life. Sometimes, however, life imitates art.
Specifically, the most egregious are
Specifically, the most egregious are:
1) horses are not carnivorous, except on episodes of *Seinfeld*, and then with disastrous results;
Such an event happened in the pages of the University Daily Kansan on July 12, 2000. In an otherwise good article by L. Candy Ruff, "Fossils support Darwin" there are some factual inaccuracies, incorrect attributions, and misquota-
2) the age of a masosaur cannot be determined by Carbon dating; instead, we know the age of Kansas masosaurs through radiometric dating and geological correlation; and
3) one-towed horses are not slower than their less derived brethren, they are likely much faster; nor was their evolution tied to the proliferation of forests, but
instead was at least partly correlated with the spread of grasslands.
None of these inaccurate statements were made by me. In spite of these inaccurate statements, some mistakenly given in quotations, I do appreciate the Kansan's coverage of the tour that I led at the KU Natural History Museum, and also Ms. Ruff's positive take on the tour and its significance.

Peace pastors send aid, change to Cuba
944 Mass.
832-8228
Caravan breaks trading act in effort to crumble 40-year U.S. embargo on Cuban goods
By Scott M. Lowe Jr.
Kansan staff writer
Travelers with a cause for Cuba made a pit stop July 11 at Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
Three members of Pastors For Peace spent the night at the ECM. They're part of a caravan providing aid and protesting the United States' trade embargo with Cuba.
Corrine Cohut, national coordinator of Pastors For Peace; Drew Chebuhar, a temporary worker from Iowa City, Iowa, and Bill Regehr, a retired community activist from Winnipeg, Canada, stopped in Lawrence while en route to San Antonio from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
They are part of an 11-leg, 80-person caravan that is traveling on separate routes through 100 North American cities and towns and will converge in San Antonio.
The three left Winnipeg July 3 and should reach San Antonio July 22.
Cohut, Chebuhar and Regehr hauled a trailer with more than a ton of school supplies, food and medicine. None of the three is clergy
or works in the church.
An estimated 100 tons of aid will be trucked from Texas to Tampico, Mexico, and then shipped to Cuba. Some volunteers also will fly to Cuba to volunteer in schools and hospitals.
Pastors For Peace is part of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization. This is the
organization's 10th trip to Cuba since 1992 and the third time caravan members have stopped at the ECM.
The Rev. Thad Holcombe, ECM director, said he respected the hard work and integrity of Pastors For Peace.
"Sometimes a higher moral impetus can be more important than laws in books." Reghr said. "People 500 miles away from Winnipeg sent supplies."
The three said that public opinion was starting to sway in favor of ending the 40-year-old embargo and that it was only a matter of time before Congress listened. The embargo is not
The hospitality we show here at ECM, they present on a much grander scale," Holcombe said.
"If we have normal trade relations with China, then why not Cuba?"
Cohut, who has worked with the organization for four years and is in charge of the entire effort, said she believed strongly in civil disobedience.
Bill Regehr retired community activist
"What we're doing is technically illegal because we're breaking the Trading with the Enemy Act," Cohut said. "By doing this, we're risking 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine."
Regehr and Chebuhar said they believe just as strongly in the cause.
only oppressive to Cuba, they said, but also to third-party countries because trading with Cuba makes it difficult to trade with the United States.
"If we have normal trade relations with China, then why not Cuba?" Regehr said.
The caravan stops at
churches and other places like ECM to save costs. The expenses for this trip are underwritten by church groups in Winnipeg.
"It's important to do something because if you do nothing, you're supporting an immoral policy," Cohut said.
After delivering the supplies, the whole process will start over again. It's a long road for the three travelers but one they believe is well worth it.
"Sometimes to make progress, laws must be broken," Chebuhar said. "We'll keep on doing this until the blockade has ended."

KU recycling hopes to tap residence hall windfall
By Scott M. Lowe Jr.
Red Lyon Tavern
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students living in residence halls this fall will be part of a renewed recycling effort.
The office of Resource Conservation and Recycling part of the University of Kansas' Department of Environment, Health and Safety plans to work closely with residence halls to create more interest and awareness in recycling.
The University's recycling program began in 1996 and has doubled its output every year, said Kara King, assistant program manager. The total collected went from 60 tons in 1996 to 300 last year.
Student workers collect paper, newsprint, aluminum cans and plastic bottles from 30 campus buildings. The materials are stored in trailers on West Campus and later hauled to Deffenbaugh Industries in Kansas City, Mo.
Mike Hevel, president of the Association of University Residence Halls, plans to increase the amount of recyclables hauled away from campus by increasing participation at residence halls.
"It's much easier for fellow students, rather than staff members, to encourage residents to recycle." said Hevel, Waverly senior. "We'll seek out those interested in environmental issues at the beginning of the year."
Hevel said he would meet with the University's recycling manager, Victoria Silva, to discuss how to increase collections from residence halls.
The recycling program also is planning to donate the University's discarded office computers to a nonprofit organization or have them recycled. A pilot composting project will attempt to collect solid food and wood wastes, which can be used to make fertilizer and cut food and waste disposal costs.
To encourage water conservation, the recycling program is promoting xeriscaping — rather than regular landscaping — to beautify campus. Xeriscaping, which is used in the arid Southwest, makes efficient use of drought-resistant plants and soil. The result is usually a 25 percent to 75 percent
"We do so much more than recycle. Silva said. "We've hit a point in the program, and we need more facilities." Silva said. "I'm not sure we'll have the same rate of growth, but we'll still expand."
Provost David Shulenburger is pleased with the program's progress.
the impact is clear, but there's more we can do." Shulenburger said. "I'm very proud of the offices that recycle."
Shulenburger said that he hoped the KU recycling program would reach a level of success that would allow it to pay for itself.
"We've got to keep increasing," he said. "I still see too many cans and bottles in the trash."

Companies hope to bag pre-sliced apple market
The Associated Press
YAKIMA, Wash. — Too lazy to cut up your own apples? Two apple packing and marketing companies are coming to the rescue.
Working independently of one another, the companies have been selling bagged apple slices nationwide for more than two months.
Neither is ready to call presliced apples a cure for Washington state's ailing apple industry. Development costs are high and research shows consumers will pay only so much for the convenience.
But officials hope sliced apples find the same consumer acceptance as bagged salads and baby peeled carrots.
"I can tell you sliced apples have the same feeling that baby peeled carrots and consumer salad had when I was working on those products 10 years ago," said Welcome Sauer, food service director for the Washington Apple Commission.
Sauer said 84 percent of 400 consumers who tasted pre-sliced apples during a March survey said they would buy the product.
The companies offering the products are Price Cold Storage and Packing Co. of Yakima and Fresh Products Northwest — a joint venture of the Medford, Ore.-based Naumes Inc. and Dovex Fruit Co. of Wenatchee, Ore.
Price calls its product "Yo Bites,
Apples With Attitude!"
FreshProducts is marketing its apple slices under the name Crunch-Pak.
Consumer surveys indicate shoppers are likely to buy sliced apples if the price is right—somewhere below $2 a pound.
Restaurants, hotels and institutions that are high-volume food outlets favor pre-sliced apples as a ready-made garnish for salad bars and banquet menus. The state apple commission has been working for years to broaden foodservice consumption beyond whole apples.
"With sliced apples, we have a round peg for a round hole. We have a product they like," Sauer said.
Steve Fox, marketing director for Price Cold Storage, said he hoped the product would take off.
"I really do think that if we can take 5 percent to 8 percent of the excess product and turn it into a market, then I think we have made a contribution," Fox said.
Tom Hale of Yakima, marketing director for Fresh Products Northwest. is more cautious.
"I think we can't look at this as being something that is going to make a huge volume difference to the industry, at least not in the first few years," Hale said.
A key to the bagged slices is a combination of minerals and vitamins that prevents cut apples from turning brown for at least three weeks. That product, developed by a Connecticut research-and-development company, does not affect taste or quality of the fruit, according to promotional material from the manufacturer.
Sliced-apple sales won't affect the market for Red Delicious apples, which make up most of Washington's apple production. The pre-sliced apples are being made from other varieties, including Fuji, Gala, Braeburn, Granny Smith and Pink Lady.
RENTON, Wash. — A 13-year boy who caused a panic at a summer school when he fired a shot into a cafeteria ceiling was arrested yesterday after contacting sheriff's officers from his grandparents' house.
No one was injured in the incident Monday at Dimmitt Middle School. Yesterday's classes were canceled.
The Associated Press
The boy was identified by the sheriff's office as Josh Warnock.
Student gunman surrenders
His mother notified authorities that her son wanted to turn himself in, and he was arrested peacefully at his grandparents' house for investigation of assault with a firearm and reckless endangerment, said John Urquhart, King County sheriff's spokesman.
Urquhart said he did not know if a gun was recovered from the boy. He was to be taken to the county juvenile justice center in downtown Seattle following questioning.
After unsuccessfully searching the neighborhood and a wooded area near the school Monday night, officers had expressed hope the youth would give himself up.
Summer school classes were canceled yesterday at the middle school and nearby Thomson Elementary School, which had been used as a safe haven for students Monday.
The boy was shown on KIRO-TV walking out of his grandparents' home in handcuffs, wearing a Detroit Pistons T-shirt. He was described after the incident Monday as dressed in black, with blond hair dyed blue at the ends. But yesterday, his blond hair was cut short with no dyeing evident.
"They're telling me this kid was "very cooperative," said Peter Daniels, school spokesman. "They've never seen anger or violence of that type from him. By all accounts he was not a problem."
An aunt told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that the boy, the oldest of three siblings, was being raised by a single mother. But she said the boy had not done well in school the past year and was attending summer school remedial classes.
During the week, the boy stayed with grandparents who live near the school so he could arrive at class on time, police said. During weekends, he stayed with his mother. Urquhart said investigators think the boy took the gun from his grandparents' home.
Neighbors said the mother moved the family often, recently leaving a house she had bought from her parents. They said the boy would return and break in so he and his friends could use the house.
Urquhar said the boy got on a table at about 10:30 a.m. Monday and shot a round into the ceiling. He ordered the other 200 students to get on the stage in the cafeteria, but they scattered and ran.
Brittany Lamb, 14, was sitting at the same table when the youth stood up and fired. She said she was too scared to move, and he threatened her directly.
"He put the gun right up to my face and he said, 'I'm going to kill you if you don't get up on the stage.' I was frozen. I could not move at all." Lamb said.
She said he had been talking about shooting a teacher for a few days and had told other students he was going to commit suicide before the police got him.
"A lot of people knew he was talking about it, but they didn't say anything because they didn't think he would really do it," she said.
Cylas Sampson, 13, said the boy had shown him a gun and a large knife at the beginning of the school day. "I didn't think he was going to do anything," Sampson said. "I thought it was a fake gun."
Just before the shooting, Sampson said he had called the boy over to sit with them. "He said, 'You don't have to worry about school anymore. Today's your last day of school,'" he said.
State Republicans defer to Bush on V.P. nominee
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — As a group, Kansas delegates to the Republican National Convention don't have any strong feelings about who their party's vice presidential nominee should be.
A majority of the 35 delegates are deferring to the presumed presidential nominee, George W. Bush. Others have their preferred candidates but are likely to support Bush's choice without complaint.
When delegates did express a preference, the leading choice was Elizabeth Dole, wife of Bob Dole, the party's 1996 presidential nominee. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge was mentioned the next most often.
Some Republicans say the lack of a strong preference among Kansas delegates shows how little importance they place on Bush's choice of a running mate. Other say it is a sign of support for the Texas governor.
"It has to be his choice," said Senate Majority Leader Tim Emert, of Independence, who listed no preference.
Emert said having convention delegates impose their choice on Bush would be like telling someone. "I'll make you president of the company, but you can't choose any of your employees."
All Kansas delegates to the convention that will meet July 31 in Philadelphia, where delegates will ratify Bush's nomination as well as his choice for a running mate were surveyed.
Twenty-one delegates said they had no preference for a vice presidential nominee. Six of those 21 said they would support whomever Bush picks.
"It's not very important," said McGill, a delegate who listed no vice presidential preference.
than have a strong preference.
"Did you ever know of anybody who ever voted for vice president?" asked Kate McGill, who is chairman of Bush's Kansas campaign.
McGill and Kris Van Meteren, Kansas Republician Assembly executive director, said delegates were more likely to react to a vice presidential choice they didn't like, rather
For example, Van Meteren said many conservative Republicans would go ballistic if New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman were on the ticket, because of her support for abortion rights.
But McGill said. "There's no Dan Quayle out there," referring to the former vice president, whose selection in 1988 surprised many Republicans.
Van Meteren said, "Most people are pretty nonchalant about who the vice president is."
Seven Kansas delegates named Elizabeth Dole, who served as secretary of labor and secretary of transportation, as well as American Red Cross president.
"Part of it's the gender thing," said Wanda Morrison, a delegate from Hutchinson. "Just because I'm a woman, I'd like to see that role or the presidential nomine be a woman in my lifetime."
Morrison said many Kansas Republicans viewed Elizabeth Dole as part of the state's political family because of her marriage to the former Kansas senator.
"She's kind of our sister-in-law," she said.
But Burdett Loomis, a professor of political science at the University of Kansas, said the fact that Elizabeth Dole wasn't named by more delegates was a sign that she was never considered a true Kansan.
He added, "Bob Dole is pretty much yesterday's news."
Three delegates named Ridge, including Lt. Gov. Gary Sherrer who named both the Pennsylvania governor and Elizabeth Dole as choices.
Delegate Trent LeDoux, of Holton, said of Ridge: "He's a veteran of the Vietnam War. He's very diverse in his political leanings, and he's from a state we've got to have."
Individual delegates also named Whitman; retired U.S. Sen. John Danforth, of Missouri; U.S. Rep. John Kasich, of Ohio; New York Gov. George Pataki and retired Gen. Colin Powell.

Officers not liable for gay's death
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — An Army review of the circumstances in which a gay private was beaten to death by a fellow soldier at Fort Campbell, Ky., last year has concluded that no officers should be held responsible for the killing and that there is no general climate of homophobia at the base, officials said yesterday.
A report by the Army's inspector general, Lt. Gen. Michael Ackerman, found troublesome anti-gay attitudes among some members of D Company, 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division in which the killing took place according to senior defense officials who have seen the report.
But it concluded that the 101st Airborne as a whole had no unusual degree of homophobia, the officials said. The officials agreed to
discuss the report's conclusions on condition they not be identified.
The report's results are expected to be made public Friday, along with the findings of a Defense Department advisory group that Defense Secretary William Cohen formed last spring to draft an action plan for each of the military services to address the problem of harassment of gays.
The panel appointed by Cohen will recommend that service members of all ranks receive more tailored forms of training on how to properly implement the Clinton administration's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on homosexuals, in which gay service members are allowed to serve as long as they don't reveal their sexual orientation, officials said. Cohen appointed the panel after the Defense Department inspector general reported in March that harassment based on perceived homosexuality
is widespread in the military.
Cohen's spokesman, Kenneth Bacon, declined to comment on either the Army report or the advisory panel's findings.
Charles Butler, the lawyer for the mother of the slain soldier, 21-year-old Pfc. Barry Winchell, said the Army had evidence that Winchell's company commander was alerted to anti-gay harassment before the killing but did not act.
"It appears that the Army isn't willing to accept responsibility for the circumstances surrounding Barry Winchell's murder," Butler said. He said he had not seen the Army report.
The Army inspector general's investigation at Fort Campbell was requested by Maj. Gen. Robert T. Clark, who was commander of the 101st Airborne at the time. Clark has since been assigned to an important post in the Pentagon, and the report concluded that he
should be not be held responsible for the killing last July.
The report's conclusions are to be reviewed by Clark's successor, Maj. Gen. Richard A. Cody.
Pvt. Calvin Glover was convicted by a military court and sentenced to life in prison for beating Winchell to death with a baseball bat. Winchell's roommate, Spc. Justin R. Fisher, was sentenced to 12/1/2 years in prison for his role in the killing. At Glover's trial, soldiers testified that Winchell had been relentlessly taunted with antigay slurs in the months leading up to his slaving.
The incident renewed a national debate over the Clinton administration's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which critic says does not work because it has failed to protect perceived homosexuals from harassment.
Trash-talking Olympians roil track trials
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Michael Johnson says he is ready to take on Maurice Greene in their highly anticipated showdown in the 200 meters at the U.S. Olympic trials.
Johnson fired back at Greene's trash-talking yesterday, calling it immature, and said he was not as excited about facing Greene as he had been about facing Carl Lewis.
"I dislike a lot of the things Maurice has said about me in an attempt to elevate himself by using my name," Johnson said. "Some things he's said are totally untrue.
"He said the track was fast when I broke the world record. Please, that's ridiculous. Then, two weeks later he's saying he respects me."
The simmering feud between the two world-class sprinters began festering at last year's USA Championships in Eugene. Ore., where they were supposed to meet in the 200 meters. After Johnson withdrew late because of an injury, Greene accused Johnson of ducking him.
Johnson insisted that he was injured and said that he didn't
O O O O
duck anyone. After all, he is the Olympic gold medalist and world record-holder in the 200 and the 400, and he already had won the 400 at the trials. The 200 final is Sunday, the last day of the trials.
Greene is the 100 meter world record-holder, a two-time world champion and the trials' 100-meter winner. He was last year's 200-meter world champion — in Johnson's absence — and has been verbally badgering Johnson since the 1999 nationals.
The potshots have accelerated during the trials.
"Get Michael Johnson, that's what I want to do." Greene said, after winning his opening heat in the 100.
He repeatedly has proclaimed he will win the 200, despite Johnson's best of 19.32 seconds and Greene's best of 19.86 seconds.
Johnson countered yesterday by saying he would not guarantee a victory but that he thought he could win the race.
"I'm not going to accept anything less," he said. "This is not a prelim; this is the Olympic trials. People have paid a lot of money to see a good race, and that's what I'm going to give them."
Johnson said he was not overly enthusiastic about facing Greene.
"Since Carl Lewis left the sport, there is not an athlete I get excited about running against," he said. "I was excited running against Carl because I wanted to be No. 1 in the sport. I'm there now, so I don't have to get excited."
Johnson said much of the trashtalking in the sport was among the 100-meter runners, not among the 400-meter runners.
"There's mutual respect in the 400," he said. "The trash-talking in the 200 has built up over the last year, and I don't like it. I've been defending myself. I've been pushed by Maurice and his coach (John Smith). I have a reputation to defend. I will not make a personal
attack. I've promised that to my family and friends. I'm not going to stoop to that level."
Johnson said Greene was taking the wrong approach to the race if he thought he could break him down mentally.
"If he depends on me shutting down or breaking down ... he's not going to win the race," Johnson said.
Johnson — who has won 88 of 103 200-meter races and 75 of 79 400-meter races since 1989 — suggested that Greene was trash-talking to pump himself up for the big showdown. Johnson and his coach, Clyde Hart, said they wouldn't let Greene's mouth affect the race.
"I prefer to do our talking on the track," Hart said. "But you have to defend yourself."
Johnson did praise Greene, saying he deserved to be ranked No.1 in the world last year because he won the world championship. Johnson was No.2.
The two have met twice, with Johnson winning in 1997 and Greene in 1998, each time at Eugene in the Prefontaine Classic.

Bound to his work: University librarian rescues books
By Karen Lucas
writer@kansan.com
Kannan staff writer
Brian Baird doesn't have to look far to find an example of library roadkill
Tire tracks left their imprint on many pages of a book that Baird keeps on a shelf near his desk.
"It must have been on the road for a while," said Baird, preservation librarian at the University of Kansas. "It got run over at least a dozen times. I don't know how it ever got back to us, but someone must have picked it up and decided to bring it back to the library."
A dog-chewed copy of Hidden Victims: The Sexual Abuse of Children and a book titled Bermuda Triangle, which is missing its pages, occupy the same shelf.
"People aren't as gentle with books as they could be." Baird said.
These books are just a few of the many damaged texts that have been sent to Baird and his staff in the preservation department in Watson Library. The department received 30,000 to 40,000 books for repair a year, said Baird, who became KU's first preservation librarian in 1994.
"What attracted me to the job was the opportunity to build a program from scratch," he said. "That's what's been most enjoyable—making it grow. I like to be the person coming up with the ideas and using the resources available to me to make the program work."
Baird has worked hard in developing the library preservation program at KU as well as other related projects, and his achievements have not gone unnoticed.
This month he received the Esther J. Pierce Award at the annual meeting of the American Library Association. The $1,500 award is for a librarian who has excelled in technical services or collections during the first 10 years of his or her career and demonstrates potential for future growth.
"I think he's a real outstanding librarian who has made professional contributions both at KU and on the national level," said Slavic librarian Brad Schaffner, who nominated Baird for the award and who also has co-authored some articles on preservation with him.
Keith Russell, dean of libraries, shared Schaffner's enthusiasm.
"I was just delighted to have him on my staff when I arrived," said Russell, who has been dean since last year. "He's recognized nationally as an excellent preservation officer. As other institutions recruit for preservation officers, they frequently contact Brian as a potential candidate."
Among Baird's many achievements is a program called "Brittle," which allows libraries
"His conservation skills are almost god-like."
Joe Orosco
reserve supervisor at Watson Library
around the world to get photocopies of brittle page books at low prices. A listserv informs libraries of the books that can be copied.
Baird also has developed a Web page on preservation topics, which serves users both in and outside of the KU library system.
"I designed the Web page to act as a kind of FAQ kind of thing," he said. "If I get a question about something more than once, I usually put it on the Web page."
In addition to providing information about Brittle and the organization and services of the preservation department, the Web page has a section on dealing with fires, bombings, tornadoes and other disasters. Baird and a library committee put together the Disaster Preparedness and Response Manual.
"We hope we won't have to use it," he said. Baird also has spearheaded Rainy Day Book Bags and customized bookmarks, which give patrons tips on how to care for books, such as photocopying pages with care and not marking them with paper clips. Both the bags and the bookmarks are available at library circulation desks.
Yet getting library users to take better care of books is a never-ending task.
Books damaged by food and drink pose a constant challenge for the preservation department staff, and when Anschutz Library extends its hours to 24 hours a day, Baird said the problem would get worse.
For a conservation exhibit in Watson Library, Baird said he collected the food containers and trash that patrons left on one floor of the library in a day.
"I think the message that really got to people was the volume of the food being consumed in the library." he said.
But it is somewhat ironic that the preservation department is located in what used to be a library lounge area with vending machines. The machines were removed sometime before Baird arrived.
"When they took them out, the place was crawling with cockroaches," Baird said. "We've worked hard to get rid of them."
Shanielle Wenzl, Concordia junior, said she enjoyed working for Baird.
Baird and his staff of four full-time employees and about 20 students work in a remodeled area on Watson Library's lower level, which consists of a conservation lab, a bindery unit and a marking unit. The lab workers repair damaged texts, many of which have torn, brittle or missing pages. In the bindery unit, staff members prepare books for commercial binding, and those
in the marking unit make call number labels for books.
"He's a really relaxed guy," she said. "He makes the job fun and easy."
Joe Orosco, reserve supervisor in Watson Library, also was enthusiastic about having worked for Baird when he was a student.
"His conservation skills are almost godlike," Orosco said. "I learned a lot from him on how books are put together, how to take care of them. I know we lucky to have him."

Like Wenzl and Orosco, Baird worked as a student in a conservation lab at Brigham Young University.

"I liked it, and I decided I would stick with the library business," he said.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in library and information science, Baird worked for three years at Princeton University — as a conservator and also an assistant preservation librarian — before accepting the position at the University.
Books play an important role for Baird in his leisure time as well. He said he had a personal collection of about 3,000 titles, which includes novels as well as books on history, science and religion. But his wife, Jennifer, doesn't like having a lot of books accumulate in the house.
"She sells them at garage sales if I'm not looking," Baird said.
His favorite author is Dostoevsky, whom he said was the best psychological novelist. Baird also likes such contemporary writers as Ricky Press and Fanny McGregor.
"They write well and are good at communicating passion," he said.
Not only does Baird read a lot, but he also enjoys writing. In addition to publishing articles on preservation, Baird has showcased his writing talent in other ways.
He wrote a novel, *Tribulation*, which is now under review by a publisher.
"It's about a young married couple during World War I." Baird said. "He goes off to war, and while he's gone, she has an affair." Baird has written about the social history of the West too.
Idaho Yesterday, a historical journal, will publish his article "Idaho's Trail of Tears." Baird said the article focused on how the U.S. government treated the Lemhi Indians in Idaho from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s.
Why the West? "It's just something I'm interested in," Baird said.
He also grew up with seven brothers and sisters on a dairy farm in Mink Creek, Idaho, about 45 miles north of Loden, Utah. "We had a hundred head of cows that
needed to be milked two times a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year."
Even though he's preserving books at a research university now rather than working on the farm. Baird still likes to don
cowboy boots.
"I'm not a typical librarian by any means," he said. "I don't fit any of the stereotypes."

On the Porch Steps
story by Jim O'Malley
B
Before there was air conditioning, there were front porches.
Front porches are common in Lawrence's older neighborhoods, but are scarce in newer ones.
They developed as a way for people to cope with hot summer weather before air conditioning, said Dennis Enslinger, historic resources adviser to the City of Lawrence.
Enslinger said porches were in the front of older houses because it was cooler there.
"Kitchens were in the rear and wood stoves were on all day," he said.
And back yards were work spaces. People hung laundry, planted vegetable gardens, and
"It's a good way to watch the world go by and see what's going on in the n e i g h b o r l o o d," Susie McCarthy, Lawrence resident.
killed and plucked chickens there, so they weren't the most pleasant places to sit and relax, he said. Cathy Ambler, assistant director of historic preservation with the Kansas State Historical Society, said people used to sleep on their porches in hot weather. Her grandfather and grandmother practically lived on their front porch in the summertime. She said she still sees a lot of porches used in Lawrence during summer.
Dennis Domer, professor of architecture at the University of Kentucky and former KU associate dean of architecture, said that front porches became popular around 1850. Few houses had front porches before then. But after that there were hardly any houses built without porches until the mid-20th century.
Front porches first developed in the Caribbean islands where the climate is hot and humid, Domer said. Cultural influences on the development of the porch included Spanish, West African, French and Caribbean island native.
Inside and outside
Health concerns also made porches popular, Domer said. In the Victorian era, people believed fresh air was important for good health. It was a common belief that it was unhealthy to breathe any air someone had breathed before. Fear of tuberculosis also made
sleeping porches on the back of houses popular from 1910 to 1925.
Victorians also believed it was important to connect to nature and the belief was reflected in the architecture of the time. Porches were transitional spaces between indoors and outdoors, Domer said.
Earlier Colonial- and Federalist-era houses tended to shut nature out.
"In my 1839 row house, the outdoors is very much closed off," Domer said.
Private and public
Front porches didn't develop in a lot of European cities where there aren't front lawns and the living spaces of houses are above street level, she said. The ground floor is often a service area and might have a small courtyard. Without the buffer zone of a front lawn, porches aren't an effective transition between public and private.
Front porches also had a social function. They were a transitional space between private living space and the community. Ambler said,
Rules of porch etiquette developed in the United States, Ambler said. There were rules for when neighbors could go beyond stopping on the sidewalk and chatting to coming up and visiting on the porch.
Susie McCarthy and her family spend a lot of time on the front porch of their house in Old West Lawrence, the neighborhood of old houses just west of downtown between Sixth and Ninth Streets. She said she enjoyed being outside, but having all the comforts of home.
"And it's a good way to watch the world go by and see what's going on in the neighborhood." McCarthy said. "You can still feel like you're part of the neighborhood. The porch was a big selling point when we bought the house."
The Decline and Fall of the Front Porch
Few real front porches are built today, Domer said. Many new houses have a vestigial front porch — a tiny roof over the front steps.
"It's just a genuflection that helps everyone remember there's a front door, but it's hardly ever used," Domer said.
The prevalence of backyard decks and patios today reflects a very different world view than front porches, Domer said. The rise of the backyard reflects the elimination of formality and the rise of
leisure and privacy. But with that comes a loss of community—the disengagement from community life that Harvard sociologist Robert Putnam has documented in his book, *Bowling Alone*.
"Modern Americans have turned their backs on community and stay inside and turn on the TV." Domer said.
Ensinger said privacy fences, a relatively new trend, also reflect a withdrawal from the street and from engagement with the community.
The rise of the automobile also contributed to the decline of front porches, Enslinger said. People don't want a social space on a street with a lot of automobile traffic; they want to withdraw from it. And attached garages make it possible for people to enter and leave their houses without ever stepping outside.
But he said there was a resurgence of interest in front porches, and that some houses were
being built with them now.
Ambler said the architecture of houses can say a lot about the people who live in them.
"When you don't have air conditioning and television," she said, "you're more outwardly focused."
Where they exist, front porches still have their special pleasures.
McCarthy said she and her family like to sit out on their porch and read.
"And it's great to listen to a thunderstorm from the front porch," she said.

HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Love and money clash on Monday and Tuesday. Avoid getting into an argument about money with your sweetheart You'll give in on Wednesday and Thursday, so the problem will be solved. Take care of all the household chores on Friday and Saturday so you can spend Sunday creating a wonderful reality from the annals your romantic fantasies.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Just hold on Monday and Tuesday, your stubborn tendencies will have people at your throat. You'll run into another Taurus, but a compromise is possible. It may take you most of Wednesday and Thursday to get a clue, however. Alas! You're still stubborn on Friday and Saturday. Nothing will get by you, you're so stubborn. Have your three "friends" over to your house on Sunday.
You're more intelligent than usual this week. On Monday and Tuesday you may feel pressed by the extra brain waves, however. Don't sweat the small stuff; breathing, heartbeats, digestion; have faith in yourself. You'll dazzle on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday you'll chip off the glitter. Saturday you'll sand off the glue. Sunday anoint thyself with lotion.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Ponder the cycle of weakness on Monday and Tuesday. Don't get peer pressure into debauchery Wednesday evening. A big chest of potential may appear Thursday. Don't open it until Friday and Saturday, lest you eat unripened fruit. That's when you can control yourself.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
An older person will shun you Monday or Tuesday. Your friends will fail you Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That's much better! Adversity produces character, and character yields perseverance, and perseverance leads thee home.
Virgo (Aua. 23-Sept. 22).
Shrug off the worry Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday you will divine its futility. Thursday, be nice with your newest insight. Don't teach when instruction is not sought. Friday and Saturday lead by example. Sunday be at peace, exhibit patience and love. Repeat week as necessary.
Saaittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Avoid gambling Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Saturday and Sunday! Hit the road if you must spend that money. Open eyes on the road will show you the absolute ludicrousness of the gambler mentality.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
On Monday and Tuesday a partner will insist you work late and, if necessary, you should roll over. Be strong, bite your lip and suck it up Wednesday. Thursday you'll hit pay dirt. The week's trials end like that Wheel of Fortune show where the person was losing the whole time and then all of a sudden — the person won.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb 18).
II II
2
Although you'd like to take the whole week off, you may have way too much work to do on Monday and Tuesday. Same goes for Wednesday. And Thursday. Friday is no different. Saturday and Sunday you may as well rest up, because Monday will start the cycle again.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
All week, arguments are common, and nobody wants to give an inch. Neither do you, you hypocrite. But at least you find this all too funny to bother you much. Watch it thought! People are fragile and your smirks and serenades can crack their souls. Be conscientious.
Romance looks good on Monday and Tuesday, but that's a fleeting illusion. Be nice even if you're loved one gets under your skin. You're desperate, after all. Wednesday and Thursday are self-loathing, envy and hatred. So don't schedule dates for then. Friday and Saturday you may drink yourself into oblivion attempting to forget all this but Sunday you'll realize it didn't work.

Monday and Tuesday, learn as fast as you can.

Charlie Brown brings back childhood
University Theatre reenacts comic strip on summer stage
the cast of Charlie Brown from left: Laura Sternberg or Lucy VanPelt; Lakin Griffin as Schroeder; Alex Wolfson as Charlie brown; Xavier Rice as Snoopy; Matthew G. Simon as Linus; and Geneva Ewet as Peppermint Patty.
By Amy Cummins writer@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, University Theatre's summer musical production, is about things many remember from childhood: playing ball, flying kites, anticipating supper time and dreaming about the little red-haired girl.
The show's actors and musicians gave an enchanting performance Friday night in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre. Every production number encaptured the audience.
The last weekend of Charlie Brown will be Thursday and Sunday.
The performance was directed by Don M. Schawang, a doctoral candidate in theater and film, whose most recent directing credit was January's Mozart opera for the department of music and dance.
Jack Roller, the play's musical director, will receive his doctoral degree in conducting in August, then direct instrumental activities at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C.
The musical premiered in 1967 and is faithful to the creative vision of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz. Writer Clark Gesner's script, music and lyrics are based upon specific Peanuts strips from the 1960s.
The stage and costume designs of Christian Boy, Lawrence graduate student, present a technicolor
dream. The hyper-real hues of green, blue, orange and red convey the trippy intensity with which childhood senses are recollected. Both the costume designs and the stage setting recreate Schulz's comic strip.
Charlie Brown is played convincingly by Alex Wolfson, Omaha, Neb., sophomore. Schroeder, the Beethoven aficionado, is played by the talented Lakin Griffin, Lawrence sophomore. Xavier Rice, Overland Park junior, perfectly depicts Snoopy, the canine World War I Flying Ace.

Students have ball in course
Baseball lore, allure taught in sport class
By Karen Lucas
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Room 252 Robinson Center looked more like a museum of baseball memorabilia than a classroom Saturday.
Among the display items were photographs, books, bats, gloves and uniforms, including a jersey and pair of pants worn in the early 1900s and the jersey of a former Kansas City Royals star — George Brett.
These collectibles served as a backdrop to Phillip Huntsinger's one-day, one-credit hour course. "Baseball: America's Pastime," which was offered for the first time this summer. About 60 students attended the course
"I really enjoyed getting ready for it," said
Huntsinger, an associate professor of health, sport and exercise sciences who played college and semi-pro baseball and has coached at various levels.
Huntsinger said he hoped students would learn to appreciate the game as earlier generations had.
He used radio and video recordings in his presentation, including part of Ken Burns' baseball documentary. He also brought in a team of guest speakers to help focus the students on different aspects of the game — technical as well as cultural.
Bobby Randall, Kansas baseball coach, taught the class how to form a line-up. Using the Royals as his model, he analyzed each position in the batting order.
Jim Lohmeyer, a student from Osage City, said he enjoyed Randall's talk.
"I learned a lot," he said. "I never would have thought about putting one of your better hitters in the No. 9 spot, but it does make sense the way he explained it."
Steve Abney, a scout for the Cleveland Indians, talked about how he recruited amateur players. He said he ranked them on a scale from 2 to 8, with 5 being average. He said one of the hardest things was having to tell players he had established a rapport
with that they didn't make the grade.
Debbie Landis, another student, gave high marks for Abnev's presentation.
"The scouting talk was interesting to me," she said. "My oldest boy would like to play in college with a scholarship."
The class learned about the literary side of baseball from Jim Carothers, professor of English, who has taught a course on baseball literature since 1974. Carothers said his passion for reading about the game began when he was young.
"I read any baseball stuff I could get my hands on," he said.
Some of the books he discussed were Roger Kahn's The Boys of Summer, Jim Bouton's Ball Four and Philip Roth's The Great American Novel.
Along with participating in Saturday's 12-hour class, students must either critique a baseball film or book or keep score of a game by July 27.
The extra work doesn't bother Nick Smith, Dallas sophomore.
"I think it's pretty cool," he said. "It gives you a chance to do something outside of class."

Programming permutations broadcast television doomsday
Associated Press
By Frazier Moore
NEW YORK — By one measure, the end of the world was foretold a year ago with the shearing of Keri Russell's mane.
While the fleeing of Felicity certainly didn't do the show's ratings any good, the impact was felt far beyond one TV series. Hair grows back. But would anything else ever be right again?
Doubtful, if you consider all the signs since then of an apocalypse just around the corner:
- The human consumption of rats. In prime time!
— Dennis Miller as an announcer for Monday Night Football.
— The Battle of Armageddon (well, kind of waged last May between media titans Walt Disney Co. and Time Warner, plunging ABC into 39 hours of darkness for more than three million cable subscribers.
Commentary
These are clearly aberrant events, proving the end is surely in sight. And for those who choose to look, here are more transfigurations:
- Cable's USA losing its punch.
For years, ratings leader USA had it all. But what really put USA over the top was its sports entertainment from World Wrestling Federation.
Now the end is in sight for USA's toprated shows. Last month, a court decision gave WWF the right to take its pugilistic fare to Viacom's TNN and MTV cable networks.
— No more Kathie Lee Gifford to kick around. She's exiting the talk show she has shared with Regis Philbin for 15 years.
As you know, her Live! reign has been a fairy tale. A melodrama. A righteous
Without The Rock, what will USA build on?
crusade. A marketing blitz. (Hmmm.
That's also a fair description of WWF
wrestling.) But who can fathom the void
she will leave by Regis' side?
— Mourning becomes *The Early Show*.
Bad enough that host Bryant Gumbel was recently caught on camera making what appeared to be a profane slur about a guest he had just interviewed.
But worse than that, the loose-lipped Gumbel shares the camera with newsreader Julie Chen, around whom (as Inside.com put it last week) "the thin membrane of journalistic legitimacy ... has officially dissolved."
Chen, of course, has expanded her informational duties beyond the CBS News-produced Early Show to serve as host, interrogator and carnival barker for the network's entertainment-reality series Big Brother.
The need to wake up the world to The Early Show was demonstrated on last Thursday's Big Brother when the 10
houseguests were overheard discussing Chen;
"I've never seen her before."
"What does she do?"
"Neither have I."
Neither have I.
What does she do. (The fallen season)
The latter season.
Fox will introduce Dark Angel, a science-fiction series set in post-apocalyptic America that follows a genetically enhanced human prototype who is chased by her military handlers.
You may find even more vivid revelations in the new ABC sitcom *The Trouble With Normal*. It mines the bottomless pit of comedy about paranoid schizophrenics.
A publicity campaign for the ABC sitcom The Norm Show calls for equipping public urinals with the voice of series star Macdonald.
Forcible exposure to Norm's wise cracks while you try to relieve yourself? Even for viewers who tune out the apocalypse, this is a doomsday scenario.
Seldom seen sights preserved in Dyche
By Stephanie Tweito
Special to the Kansan
Most students likely don't realize it, but they routinely pass by a 65-foot long sea lizard, a famous dead horse and live venomous snakes — all on their way to class.
These creatures are in the Natural History Museum, located in Dyche Hall next to the Kansas Union.
A 65 feet-long Mossasaur hangs from the ceiling over the entryway to the museum.
The Mosasaur bones were discovered in 1911 by a KU researcher in Sharon Springs, Wolvington said. Once past the hanging Mosasaur, visitors are surrounded by the museum's panorama of North America. It is a display of various animals, plants and natural environments — from the Arctic Circle to the tropics.
The panorama is a taxidermy display behind glass that reaches the length of the museum and extends three stories high.
The Mosasaur, which is the largest one ever found, lived in western Kansas between 65 and 90 million years ago, during the Crustaceous period when an ocean covered Kansas, said Jason Wolvington, visitor services coordinator.
The display features dozens of animals, including Arctic walruses and seals, western moose and bison, and tropical spider monkeys. The display also features numerous plants from all different regions and is the largest diorama display of its type.
Wolvington said most of the animals in the display were collected by L.L. Dyche, the first curator of the Natural History Museum. Dyche collected and displayed the animals in Chicago during the 1893 World's Fair.
"It was a hit at the fair because back then, people didn't travel as much and had never seen all the animals." Wolvington said.
The building that holds the museum is named after Dyche and was specifically constructed to house his panorama. Wolvington said.
Dyche is also responsible for another of the museum's big attractions, a famous horse named Comanche.
Comanche is remembered for being the lone survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn.
The 1876 battle, also known as Custer's Last Stand, claimed countless Native Americans, Gen. George Custer and all of his men.
Comanche is often mistaken as Custer's horse from the famous Sioux tribe battle, Wolvington said.
Wolvington said that although Comanche was not Custer's horse, he was a horse in Custer's Calvary.
"When the reinforcements made it to Little Big Horn, the only thing left standing was Comanche." Wolvington said. "When they found him, they treated him like a hero, feeding him the best oats and hay that money could buy."
The rumor is that after Comanche died in Fort Riley in 1891, Dyche did taxidermy work on him and when Fort Riley refused to pay its bill, Dyche kept the horse.
Wolvington said many people also come to look at the live Bee Tree.
"It is an actual honeycomb bee hive. There are thousands of bees in there," he said.
The Bee Tree is a six-foot tree cast that hosts the hive inside of it. Attached to the tree is a clear plastic tube that allows the bees to fly in and out of a sixth floor window in the museum.
"This allows the bees to go outside, find their food—nectar and pollen from flowers—and bring it back to the hive." Wolvington said.
Inside the hive is a "live from the hive" video camera that shows the inner workings of the hive on a TV near the Bee Tree.
Just past the bees, are 17 live snakes, all native to Kansas.
"They are also an opportunity for people to learn about the snakes. They hear about venomous snakes and now they can see what they look like and know to avoid them if they see them," he said.
The Natural History Museum is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free for KU students.

Art imitates life at Tony and Tina's Wedding
By Jim O'Malley editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
The bride and groom's families hate each other. The best man loses the rings. The flowers are late. And Tony's tux didn't come with a tie.
"They didn't send me one!" he keeps telling relatives.
Attending the Lawrence Community Theatre's production of Tony and Tina's Wedding is remarkably like attending a real wedding. And a disastrous one at that.
The audience is invited to become part of the show by interacting with the players at St. Augusto's Church (the Community Theatre Building, 1501 New Hampshire St.) and especially at the reception at the Lawrence Dance Academy, 11th and Massachusetts streets.
Tony Nunzio (Andrew Johnson) and Tina Vitale (Sally Bremenkamp) experience every glitch seen in older wedding comedies, plus a few new ones such as an incompetent photographer and an obnoxious video guy who get in everyone's way.
The result is a slightly enhanced version of reality. One guest at Friday's performance claimed the play was actually a toned-down version of the weddings in his family.
The play runs about three hours. Sometimes it drags, just as a real wedding of, say, distant cousins can, but that's part of the experience.
After the wedding ceremony at St. Augusto's, the wedding party and guests drive to the reception hall. Tony and Tina ride in a van with "Vito's Plumbing" and a Lawrence phone number painted on the side.
Anyone who has attended a big,
traditional, but low-rent wedding will find the setting familiar. The reception hall could be any church basement, American Legion post or Knights of Columbus hall.
But the bullet hole in the window and the chalk outline of the guy who was shot outside the hall are touches unique to this very Italian wedding.
The reception includes lasagna, champagne, a cash bar.
"I learned to do it real good in rehab," he said. Michael got louder as the evening went on. He explained to guests that Tina has around the plastic works into and serveings with a scrap-
live music and dancing. The food was good, but the presentation wasn't eleg a n t. Servers go around dumping the plastic plates and forks into garbage bags, and serve second helpings with a polite "Tray scrapings?"

By the time Father Mark passes out in his chair, several family fights and reconciliations have occurred and Tony and Tina are off to their honeymoon.

Veteran band to play at KC Blues and Jazz Fest
By Derek John Special to the Kansan
There is no better season than the summer for outdoor music festivals. Warm weather, picturesque surroundings, late dusk, and a congregation of music lovers can be a wonderful alternative to the smoky bars and crowded clubs that reign during the colder
months.
Kansas City
Blues and Jazz
Festival
Kyle Ramsey/KANSAN
Outdoor music fests can be crowded d, but it's easier to stake out a plot of grass than it is to shove a fellow bar patron aside.
There's no better outdoor venue in Kansas City than the grounds of the
Liberty Memorial in Penn Valley Park. For 10 years that's been the site of the Kansas City Blues and Jazz Festival, a three-day celebration of blues, jazz, soul and gospel that brings some of the best talent from all over the globe to the area.
Although blues and jazz are close cousins, Kansas City's festival is one of only a few in the world that combine the two, providing a rare opportunity to see booie and bebop in one setting.
The festival also keeps close ties to the people of the Kansas City
Review
community through its Heritage Stage that features legendary blues and jazz pioneers and award-winning local high school bands and gospel acts. And at the Soul School Festival, artists will work with up-and-coming musicians in personal workshops.
The talent this year is stellar as always. Top acts include the hip groove-uit Medeski, Martin & Wood, tenor saxophonist Ravi Coltrane and his Quartet, Roomful of Blues founder Duke Robillard with special guest, legendary Kansas City pianist Jay McShamn, the sultry Lavy Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers, local player Bobby Watson & Horizon, and veteran fusion group Spy Grya.
The Blues Stage always manages to provide a smorgasbord of blues-flavored music. This year's big names include The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the legendary Little Milton, jam band Govt Mule, supergroup Lonestar Shootout, Marcia Ball, local harmonia prodigy Brody Buster and seasoned bluesmen Canned Heat.
Canned Heat's appearance is interesting for several reasons.
The original group, led by Bob "The Bear" Hite, reorganized recently and has been touring Europe extensively. Canned Heat was formed during the height of flower power, and that peace-conscious sensibility still shows amidst the group's raunchy blues grooves
Canned Heat, which has put out quite a few LPs during the past few decades, has a brand-new compilation of rare studio cuts and live tracks called The Boogie House Tapes. This new double-

disc collection was put together from a crate of old tapes collected by Belgian radio personality Walter De Paduwa aka "Dr. Boogie."
Dr. Boogie is Canned Heat's biggest fan. He and drummer Fito de la Parra have come up with some treats for fans of Canned Heat. Blues fans will also appreciate the good-natured vibe of long-lost classics like "Harley Davidson Blues," "Caterpillar Crawl" and "Pulling Hair Blues."
The collection includes extended jams, exhortations to the crowd, and excerpts of humorous dialogue between bandmates.
The Boogie House Tapes gives a nice look at the career of one of America's most venerable blues bands from the Vietnam Era. And blues fans can hear them live at the Kansas City Blues and Jazz Festival.
So get out of the house this weekend, make love not war, and take in some cool jazz and hot blues under the sun.

Web site celebrates the art of failure
The Associated Press
SCARSDALE, N.Y.— If at first you don't succeed, try the Web site failuremag.com.
A new Web magazine called Failure, launched Monday from a three-story house in Scarsdale, gives visitors the chance to vote on which dud tastes better—New Coke or Crystal Pepsi. There's an article about Breakfast Mates, Kellogg's doomed attempt to sell milk and cereal in one package. And at the Failure Store, anyone brave enough to wear it can buy a T-shirt that literally says failure all over it. But Dickson Zucker said
But founder Jason Zasky said
Failure was all about success.
We're not out to critique. We're not out to make failure a personal issue. Actually, I think we write about winners because those are the people out there taking risks, making things happen, even if they fail."
"This is not a site for losers," he said. "We're not out to judge people.
The online magazine does tackle some weighty subjects. The first issue has a long article, complete with maps, about the most monumental failure of the past two millenniums—the defeat of the Moors in 732 by Charlemagne's grandfather, Charles Martel. Author Jack Stesney said that by blocking Arab influence, the battle set civilization back 200 years.
Another complex and perhaps controversial piece is promised for a future issue: "The Failure of Christianity."
Visitors can help predict — sight unseen — which movies opening each week will be turkeys. One of this week's titles seems all too appropriate for failuremag.com; the Amy Hecklering film "Loser."
The site also celebrates — if that's the word — "This Day in Failure." For July 17, it's the 1981 collapse of two walkways at a Kansas City, Mo., hotel, which killed 114 people.
"Some of the shorter, quick-hit content is a little more lighthearted," Zasky said. "But for the most part we're not even talking about things that simply failed. In general, the issues are not that black and white.
"Most of the people we write about are really successful and failure is just a part of their life,"
Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer gaze out the window in a scene from *What Lies Beneath*. The movie opens Friday. Contributed photo.
he says. "The biggest failure is not trying."
Zasky seems unworried about running out of failures to write about.
Zasky, 30, and his partner, Kathleen Ervin, 34, expect to make a success of Failure, and they're not talking about the kind of Internet success that includes lots of financial losses and a magical stock offering.
"We've already produced content that could last several months," he said. "We have so many ideas it's unbelievable." A story will be coming soon about the $1 coin, he said. And the new-products guy will be watching as Heinz brings green ketchup to market.
Pfeiffer surfaces in movie What Lies Beneath
Review
By David Germain AP Entertainment Writer
Now for the real scary movie.
Last summer, you couldn't toss a package of Junior Mints in a movie lobby without beaning someone rushing in to see The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project, or The Haunting.
Other than the parody Scary Movie, the Michelle Pfeiffer-Harrison Ford ghost tale What Lies Beneath pretty much has the market cornered on things that go bump in the theater this summer.
Good thing it's a decent movie. Though there are some awkward plot contrivances and too many cheap scares, What Lies Beneath has enough chills and twists to satisfy viewers in need of a fright fix.
Though Ford gets top billing, What Lies Beneath is Pfeiffer's film. She's terrific in a role that lets her roam from mousy spouse to voyeuristic neighbor, amateur sleuth to ghost conjurer, and finally, possessed seductress to terrified victim.
prilliant university professor preoccupied with his research.
Pfeiffer plays Claire Spencer, a doting wife and mother with way too much time on her hands now that her daughter has gone off to college. Husband Norman, played by Ford, is loving but neglectful, a
Rattling around the Spencer's gorgeous lakeside house in New England, Claire begins seeing and hearing things. She senses something sinister, and suspects it's connected to the strange doings between the bickering new couple next door. Claire embarks on a *Rear Window* stakeout, not realizing until later that the mystery lies not beneath the roof of her standofffish neighbors, but her own. Norman's
Visions appear: a face in the lake, a young woman's reflection in a bathtub that keeps filling to the brim by itself. In a nod to Alfred Hitchcock's flair for suspense, director Robert Zemecki stages a good share of What Lies Beneath takes place in and around the tub and shower, a la Psycho.
dalliance with a missing student has come home to roost.
"Are we hoping the ghost has to go to the potty?" asks Claire's buddy Jody, played by Diana Scarwid, as
the two conduct a seance in the bathroom with a Ouia board.
Caught up in his work, Norman thinks Claire has gone flaky and sends her to a shrink.
Claire tells the doctor that her husband is hopes the good doctor will pack her with Prozac or lithium so he can live out his life in peace.
In keeping with the notion that what you don't see often is scarier than what you do, the movie takes a low-key approach to visuals...
The movie sashays too often into empty scarifying; the ominous, horror score builds tension that abruptly fades away without any payoff.
The movie's overlong ending might have gained impact with a nip and tuck. But its layer of rising climaxes has punch and a couple of mild surprises—mainly about what brought back the ghost to haunt the Spencers.
Ford's performance runs deeper and darker than the actor has gone in a long while. Scarwid provides fine support as Claire's saucy pal, and James Remar broods nicely as the Spencers' neighbor, who contributes one truly hilarious sight gag.
This is Pfeiffer's picture, from its watery opening to its wistful, somber conclusion.
What Lies Beneath, distributed by DreamWorks, runs 130 minutes and is rated PG-13.

Spelling error delays diploma distribution
A minor spelling error sometimes can have a major impact.
By Karen Lucas writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Such was the case last week when Bob Turvey, associate registrar, learned that about 2,750 spring semester KU diplomas would have to be reprinted because of a misspelling.
"Registrar" had been spelled "Rigistar" on the diplomas of all May graduates except for those who had received doctorates or degrees from the schools of Law and Medicine.
"I was surprised and then disillusioned," Turvey said. "We can't have any mistakes, period, and so this is a very visible mistake to a very significant document."
"You're more likely to find an error in the spelling of a student's name or the spelling of the actual degree," he said. "And we do find those. I would estimate one to two dozen a semester."
Turvey said this type of spelling error was unusual.
Turvey said that fewer than a dozen graduates had claimed their diplomas before the Office of the University Registrar stopped distributing the misprinted diplomas.
Bob Turvey
"I was surprised and then disillusioned. We can't have any mistakes period, and so this is a very visible mistake to a very significant document."
Associate Registrar
Becky Rogers, a recent Lawrence graduate with a master's degree in education, said that although she was eager to get her diploma, she was willing to wait.
"Id rather have it corrected," she said.
Turvey said yesterday that the office had received a number of calls about the diplomas.
"Students have been very understanding." he said.
Turvey also said the spelling mistake could be traced to the printer — Jostens in Red Wing, Minn., about 50 miles southeast of Minneapolis.
Mark Cassutt, manager of corporate communications at the company's headquar-
ters in Minneapolis, said on Monday that the diplomas had been reprinted and delivered at no cost to the University.
"It's unfortunate, and we apologize for the error," Cassutt said. "We moved pretty quickly to correct the error."
He said the University would continue to honor its contract with Jostens.
"It's been a very good relationship in that they are a premiere company;" he said. "It's a quality product."
The University used to hand out diplomas on commencement day, but Turvey said that had caused complications.
"The problem was you were forcing the schools to make decisions on graduation when all of the data had not yet been collected," he said.
Under the current arrangement, the office gives out diplomas a few months after students graduate. They can get their diplomas at the office or have them mailed. If diplomas go unclaimed for a year, the office destroys them for lack of storage space, Turvey said.

Jayhawk leads team in championship
By David Perico
Special to the Kansan
Former Kansas forward Nick Bradford returned to Allen Fieldhouse this weekend and led his amateur basketball team to the championship of the 2000 Sunflower State Games Five-Man Basketball Tournament.
Bradford's team, Mortgage Plus,
 defeated the Tabor-Strathman Jays
73-57 in the championship game
Sunday in front of 350 fans.
The Mortgage Plus team got off to a strong start in the tournament with a 30-point win over Prompt Care Bomber. Bradford's team continued winning with four solid victories over the TS Jays, Carlon Oil and The Tom Dogs.
Bradford led the team in scoring with 19 points, including several high-flying dunks. Former Kansas player Todd Alexander scored 16 points.
"The Haskell team was the toughest team to beat," Alexander said. "They are a scrappy team, and people should come out and watch them play. We were hoping to play them because they beat us last year in the finals."
Mortgage Plus defeated Haskell in the semifinals, 71-70, with a last second shot.
Alexander said this was the first time his team had won the Sunflower championship since he started playing in 1989.
Mortgage Plus never got the chance to play a much-anticipated game against the Kansas Pride team, which featured Iowa State University for
ward Paul Shirley. Haskell defeated Kansas Pride, last year's championship team, in the semifinals.
Teams in the women's college division also faced tough competition. Players from Wichita State, Emporia State, Fort Hays State and Pittsburg State battled against each other and players from Rockhurst University for the title.
Former Oklahoma State University guard Chad Alexander was unable to play for Mortgage Plus because of an injury. Alexander's father, Jerry, said that Chad sprained his ankle in the AAU tournament and had to skip the Sunflower tournament for the first time in years.
Kansas center Kristin Geoffroy said one of the girls on the ninth and 10th grade Hawk Squad asked her to coach the team. She said she asked former player Heather Fletcher and KU guard Jennifer Jackson to help her with the coaching duties.
The Emporia Hornets defeated Rockhurst 78-61 in the championship game.
Present and former players on the Kansas women's basketball team also participated in the Sunflower tournament.
Emporia's team, which played without a coach, had a 3-2 record going into the championship game.
"They all had a good attitude and played hard, but I think we were a little overmatched in some of those games," Geoffrey said. "We only had three practices, and it was not enough time to make a good team [in spite of] their good individual skills. We lost our last game in overtime."
Rockhurst guard Lisa Gangel said, "There is so much history here and so much talent."
Geoffroy said the Hawk Squad had a tough time in the tournament because they played against AAU teams that had been playing together all summer.
The Sunflower Games will continue on Friday and last through Sunday.
Vicki Hill, director, said that the games could still use more volunteers this weekend. She said more than 300 volunteers and 6,000 athletes had participated so far and more athletes were expected. Hill said athletes can sign up for the Governor's 5k run between 6:30 and 7 a.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium for $23.
Upcoming events include three-onthree basketball, soccer, hardcourt volleyball, a 5k run and slow-pitch softball.
Organizers also will have a Family Fun Fest on Saturday evening for members of the community. This free event will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in front of the fieldhouse. Free drinks and snacks will be provided. Guests also will have the opportunity to participate in sports contests and drawings for prizes.
Hill said that 500 people attended last Saturday's Fun Fest.
"Last week, the weather was great," she said. "Hopefully we'll have some more good weather this weekend."
Hill said the staff and advisers would pick a male and female Athlete of the Year after the games were over. She said they would accept nominations until the end of the games.

Journalist, Jayhawk dies at 63
By Karen Lucas writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
John Husar, a journalist and University of Kansas alumnus, died Thursday, at northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. He was 63 years old.
The cause of death was a post-operative infection, said his daughter Laura. Husar had received a partial liver transplant.
I
A native of Chicago, Husar earned his bachelor's degree in journalism in 1959.
In Spring 1959, John Husar works in the Kansan newsroom. Contributed photo.
"He was so proud to be an alum of KU," said his daughter, a KU alum and employee at the Chicago Tribune. "They were some of the greatest years of his life."
She said that Calder Pickett, professor emeritus of journalism and columnist for the Lawrence Journal-World, had inspired her father.
"He absolutely loved Calder Pickett," she said.
She also said that her father had encouraged her to take Pickett's class on the history of American journalism.
Pickett recently recalled his former student, who had worked on The University Daily Kansan.
"He was a wonderful guy to have in class," Picktell said. "He wrote really interesting editorials and columns. I always expected that he would be likely to have a really fine career in journalism."
In the Oct. 6, 1958, issue of the Kansan, Husar published an editorial about an upcoming visit of the poet, Langston Hughes.
"Langston Hughes will bring his famous poetry to the Kansas Union Ballroom at 4 p.m. Tuesday along with a discussion on "The Making of a Poem," he wrote. "The ordinary college student will not fly into an ecstatic coma over this."
"But the majority of those who have an idea of Mr. Hughes' accomplishments should darned well make sure they bring their cups of coffee to the lecture instead of rotting out
run-of-the-mill Hawk's Nest conversation"
While he was a student at the University, Husar also got to know Wilt Chamberlain, who then played basketball for the Jayhawks. Shortly after Chamberlain's death, Husar wrote a column for the Tribune that also appeared in the Oct. 14, 1999, issue of the Journal-World.
freshman athlete," wrote Husar, who played football at the University. "We would tease each other about having a non-competition pact. I would let him make the basketball team as long as he left me alone to mash out my brains in football.
"My only real claim to athletic fame at the University of Kansas was the year I spent in Wilt Chamberlain's considerable shadow as a
"Yeah, Big Man.' Wilt retorted. 'Whatever you say.'
"I would have been flattered except he genially called everyone 'Big Man,' largely because he had trouble remembering all of our names."
After graduating from Kansas and before beginning his career at the Tribune in 1966, Husar worked for newspapers in Clovis, N.M.; Okinawa, Japan; Pasadena, Texas; Topeka and Heilton. He also served in the U.S. Army.
Husar wrote about golf and other sports for the Tribune, and since the mid-1980s, he had an outdoors column.
"I think the thing that distinguished John was his passion about what he wrote about," said John Cherwa, associate managing editor for sports for the *Tribune*. "He was an advocate for conservation and was not afraid to take an unpopular stance."
In addition to his daughter Laura of Chicago, he is survived by his wife, Louise of Willow Springs, Ill.; another daughter, Kathryn Coyle of Dixon, Ill.; a sister, Jez of Dixon, Ill.; four brothers, Michael of Chicago, Frederick of Chicago, Matthew of Chicago, and Edward of Quincy, Ill.; and three grandchildren.

Sidewalk sale becomes soap box for activists
Political activists used the 29th annual Lawrence Sidewalk Sale to publicize causes ranging from supporting gay rights to protesting low-wage sweatshops in other countries.
Across the street from Weaver's, the Green Party promoted Ralph Nader for president.
Carolyn Micek, Lawrence resident, sat at the Green Party table urging people to sign a petition supporting Nader.
"I'm not much into the shopping," she said. "It actually makes me depressed. We're such a rich society and you can see it."
The Freedom Coalition, an organization that promotes civil rights for gays, bisexuals and lesbians, passed out bumper stickers and buttons. Lisa Rasor, Kansas City, Kan., said she simply hoped to make the organization visible.
A few blocks down, protesters showed support for foreign workers who they said are overworked and underpaid.
Free State High School students protested outside the Gap with signs reading "11 cents an hour is not a living wage" and "Stop Sweatshops," members of the group said they hoped to raise awareness about international workers' rights.

KU chemist wins award for herbal drug research
Lester Mitscher, distinguished professor of medicinal chemistry, recently won the American Chemical Society's lifetime achievement award
During his 40-year career, Mitscher has published six books and holds 14 patents.
His most recent breakthrough came from his study of green tea. In 1997, Mitscher discovered high levels of an
antioxidant — Epigallocatechin gallate, which can be up to 75 times more effective than vitamin E and 100 times more effective than vitamin C in fighting disease — in green tea.
His research showed that the antioxidant can reduce the risk of diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's and some forms of cancer. His most recent book, The Green Tea Book: China's Fountain of Youth, has sold more than 20,000 copies.
"The public's fascination with herbal medicines has out paced medical authorities and their knowledge of it," he said. "People who are neither zealots for or against these herbal medications should be allowed to examine them with an objective eye."
Mitscher's upcoming research involves echinacea, another popular herbal medicine widely believed to boost the immune system. Mitscher and colleagues in the department at UCLA will research the herb with a multimillion-dollar grant provided by the National Institute of Health.
“It’s definitely an honor,” Mitscher said, “But I’d like to think that my lifetime isn’t over yet.”

Prof's Hollywood exhibit travels to Kansas City
John Tibbetts, assistant professor of theater and film, has his own Hollywood hall of fame on his office walls.
Dozens of autographed portraits from Hollywood's elite adom Tibbetts' office. He has 35 on display this month at the American Heartland Theatre at Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo.
Most were collected when Tibbett worked as an entertainment reporter for CBS and CNN. Before an interview, Tibbett would create the entertainer's likeness on paper and ask if they would autograph it.
"I never had anyone refuse," Tibbetts said. "It's a real good icebreaker. It shows that you've prepared for them and you care. Many ask for a copy."
Tibbettts has collected names such as Arnold Schwartzeneger, Mel Gibson, Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg and Julie Andrews.
"Most will open right up and tell you things about themselves they never would otherwise," he said.
He uses various methods for his art: pen and ink, pastel, gouche and watercolor. Tibbets can also make a sketch with a ballpoint pen at a moment's notice. Tibbetts said that he plans on using some of the portraits as illustrations in his coming book about stage plays on film.
"I've been drawing faces since I was a kid," he said. "Faces are whole landscapes in themselves."
KJHK named in top 20 U.S. college radio stations
Tibbetts观看watching his subjects' faces when he show them his drawings.
KU student radio station KJHK 90.7 FM was named one of the nation's top-20 radio stations by Attaché magazine.
The article, "A Guide to Great Radio From Coast to Coast," praised KJHK for being the first station to broadcast a continuous, live signal on the Internet.
Scott Lowe
"It's nice not only to be cited for being one of the first radio stations on the Web but also having content that people enjoy," said Gary Hawke, general manager.
The praise appears in the July issue, which is an in-flight magazine distributed by U.S. Airways.
"I'm not really surprised because we've always been one of the leaders of the college music industry," said Marie Dispenza, station manager.
"It's awesome, because this award is all about music and programs, and we're competing against much bigger stations," she said.
Other college stations cited in the article include KCMU at the University of Washington, and WRVR at Vanderbilt University.
"Even though we've been recognized in the past, it's always nice to get a nod," Dispenza said.
At least 113 dead in first Concorde crash
—Scott Lowe
GONESSE, France — An Air France Concorde en route to New York crashed outside Paris shortly after takeoff Tuesday, slamming into a hotel and a restaurant. At least 113 people were killed when the charter flight of mostly German tourists went down in the first-ever crash of the needlenosed supersonic jet.
Police said all 100 passengers and nine crew members on board Flight AF4590 were killed, and the Interior Ministry said four others died at a small hotel next to the two-star Hotelissimo.
All the passengers were German except for one American, two Danes, and an Austrian, Air France said. The airline said the American was a retired Air France employee, but did not release a name.
There was no immediate word on what might have caused the crash of the jet, which had been in service since 1980, had flown 12,000 hours and had just had a mechanical check-up July 21. In the more than 30 years that Concorde jets have flown, none had gone down.
At least a dozen people were injured at the hotel. They were in good condition, Prime Minister Lionel Jospin said.

INMASION OF ASTRO-MONSTER
Godzilla demolishes Lawrence
By Joshua Richards
Special to the Kansan
Though last week's showing of the original Godzilla brought out chuckles in the crowd of Liberty Hall movie-goers, Godzilla was no laughing matter to the Japanese audience in the 1950s.
The 1954 movie's special effects may seem comical now, but they tell a serious story. Godzilla symbolizes the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and hydrogen bomb tests at Bikini Atoll, said William Tsutsui, organizer of "Godzilla Takes Kansai!" and director of the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Kansas.
In addition to bringing the old black and white reel to Lawrence, Tsutsui brought together a panel of Godzilla experts for a discussion following the film. There also is an exhibit of Godzilla figurines, toys, books and posters at the third floor lobby in Watson Library. The exhibit runs through Aug.15.
The movie's anti-American element may come as a surprise to
movie-goers familiar with Hollywood versions of Godzilla
The first film is explicit about Godzilla's origin; the monster is an ancient sea creature, disturbed by American bomb tests. The radiation-exposed beast then goes on a rampage through Japan.
That serious tone wasn't lost on all members of the KU audience.
Luke Jordan, photography instructor, considered the audience laughter to be misplaced. "The film wasn't meant to be campy," he said.
Roberta Woods, graduate student in art history, said that today's audiences were different than those of the past.
"It's hard not to laugh," said Woods, who wore a Godzilla T-shirt to the screening. "We have a different sense of special effects."
By today's standard of sophisticated computer graphics, Godzilla's special effects are primitive: men in rubber suits batting at string-mounted airplanes from the top of matchbox skyscrapers.
It may be hard for today's audiences to appreciate, but the origi-
inal *Godzilla* was a high-quality film, Tsutsu said.
Toho Studios used popular actors of the day, and the special effects were cutting-edge. The music was composed by Japan's most famous composer. Translated into year 2000 dollars, the budget of the original Godzilla topped $70 million, twice what was spent on Akira Kurosawa's epic, Seven Samurai, which came out in the same year.
Nearly 50 years old, Godzilla is one of the most successful movie franchises in film history — there are at least 25 Godzilla films, not to mention the other spin-off films of Godzilla sidekicks, like Mothra or Gamera, a giant armored-flying turtle.
In 1998, Hollywood took a stab at an updated computerized Godzilla but met with critical and commercial disdain.
"If you call that a Godzilla film, then that's the worst," Tsutsui said. "Godzilla was meant to be a guy in a rubber suit."

Sorority rush participants to wear T-shirts on first day
Prospective sorority members will wear Hawk Week T-shirts on the first day of recruitment this fall rather than their own outfits.
By Keeley Thurston Special to the Kansar
The Panhellenic Association, the coordinating body of the 13 sororities at the University of Kansas, says it wants sororites to judge women by their character, not by their clothes.
"It is not about what accessories a woman has," said Kelly JO Karnes, assistant director of Student Organizations and Leadership Development Center and Greek Programs.
The recruitment period — or rush — begins Aug. 20 and lasts five days. The University of Kansas is joining other universities who are making the change to wearing T-shirts the first day, including the University of Missouri.
About 1,000 women are expected to take part in recruitment this fall.
On the first day of recruitment, the women visit all 13 sororities. The sororites invite fewer women back each day. At the end of the week, the women
visit three sororities and receive a bid from one
Panhellenic says it wants to move to a no-frills recruitment, show the women a united Greek system and make the potential recruits feel at ease on the first day.
The National Panhellenic Conference, the coordinating body of all college Panhellenic Associations, is encouraging other changes at the University, including adding a philanthropy day in which participants perform a community service during recruitment.
Many sorority members are in favor of the changes. "It is a positive thing and wearing the same thing brings the pressure down a notch," said Julie Hall, assistant recruitment chair for Kappa Kappa Gamma and Topeka junior.
Women participating in recruitment are given a pamphlet that includes the type of outfit they should wear each day. Outfits for recruitment begin with a simple sundress and get more formal each day, usually ending in a black cocktail dress.

Cyclists make pit stop on their way to D.C. to fight for others' rights
By Ging Kohake
Special to the Kansan
A group of sweat-drenched, politically minded cyclists pedaled into Lawrence Monday after hundreds of miles of headwinds, mountains and 18-wheelers passing a little too close for comfort.
Seventeen members of Bike Aid 2000 stopped in Lawrence on their way from San Francisco to Washington, D.C.
The group - 12 men and five women, ages 19 to 30, from around the world - spent the night at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread St.
Once in Washington, D.C. the group will lobby state representatives about
issues they discovered while interacting with people in the communities they rode through.
"It is education for ourselves about some of the insights the community has to offer," said Ryan Kovac, a recent graduate of Syracuse University. "At the same time, we are learning from each other because of our diverse backgrounds."
After the nine-week journey, each member will have logged 3,600 miles on his or her bicycle. They average 60 to 100 miles a day through terrains that have included the Sierra Nevada, the Rockies and will include the Annapalchians.
Most cyclists earn about a dollar per
mile, so the group will accumulate about $60,000 by the end of the cross-country trek. The money will be donated to a non-profit organization.
Jesse Heckman — Lawrence resident who joined Bike Aid 2000 in Salina when they passed through the last Sunday — said each biker asks for donations from family, friends and local businesses.
"Basically, as members of the community, we should be involved in them, not just letting things happen," Heckman said. "People should take part in places they live."
Riders are expected to cover their own personal costs. Kovac worked three jobs to raise money to afford his trip. They
also must pay their own airfare to California to start the trip and from Washington, D.C. to fly to their homes. They also have to buy their own food.
"It is an experience unto itself." Kovac said. "You actually have the opportunity to smell and to hear what is going on around you. You get to experience stuff you can't experience in a car. It is a time to get up inside your own head and think about experiences you have had. Overall, I would say it is pretty meditative."
For Kovac, the trip is worth all the effort and money.
The San Francisco group will meet with other riders who started in Seattle
and Montreal once they reach Washington, D.C.
"It is amazing how empowered you feel having the cycling community behind you," Kovac said. "One day someone is down while someone else is great—everybody fills in the gaps. It makes the ride a lot easier to do it with the community."
Brooke Rapple, student at the Pratt Institute in New York, said all of the Bike Aid riders, who have stayed in city parks and on cement floors, appreciated the indoor facilities at the ECM.

"Serious Drinks for Drinking Seriously"
Museum showcases Black prep history

1978

An exhibit in the Spencer Research Library highlights the history of Summer High School in Kansas City, Kan.
"Achieving Against the Odds" showcases photos, yearbooks, lesson plans, letters and other school memorabilia from KU's Kansas Collection. The exhibit runs through Sept. 30.
Photographs, clothing, literature and other memorabilia dating from 1905-1978 from Sumner High School, a Kansas City, Kan., school known for academic excellence, is being featured at the Spencer Research Museum. The exhibit, which was arranged by the Kansas Collection, will last until Sept. 30. Photo by Nick Krua/KANSAN
In 1978, Sumner High School was closed by a court order to integrate all Kansas City school districts. Sumner Academy, a magnet school, was opened in its place.
The items on display are from the Sumner High School Alumni Collection, just one of many collections of African-American documents in the Kansas Collection. Since the mid-'80s the Kansas Collection has pursued documentation of the Black experience in Kansas and in the region.
During its history from 1905 to 1978,
Sumner became known for academic
excellence. When explaining the reas-
ons behind its success, former
Sumner students point to high-caliber
teachers.
"The teachers [were] pushing you, pushing you," said Brenda Enso, class of "58 and a teacher at Summer. "They told us. 'Reach for the stars.'"
Ison said the teachers made the students feel that there were no limits to success, even if there were very real social limits for Blacks.
Chester Owens, Sumner class of '49, agreed.
teachers told us; the parents told us." The Sumner school curriculum focused on a liberal arts education, which Deborah Dandridge, Kansas Collection field archivist, said was unusual, especially in the age of Booker T. Washington's popular emphasis on vocational education for
Blacks.
Summer quickly developed a reputation of academic excellence and produced the nucleus of educated Black elite in Kansas City, Dandridge said.
Renowned alumni of Sumner include Delano Lewis — former president of National Public Radio and current U.S. ambassador to South Africa — and John McLendon, legendary college basketball coach at North Carolina
Central, Hampton, Tennessee State, Kentucky State and Cleveland State and the first African American to coach a professional basketball team, the Cleveland Pipers
Dandridge said that Sumner High School was founded in 1905 in response to threats of racial violence in Kansas City. Kansas Gov. Edward Hoch approved a plan for an all-Black high school in Kansas City, Kan., to relieve
the tension.
Hoch stipulated that the building be the same quality as the white high schools, and that the Sumner teachers receive the same salaries as white teachers. This made Sumner an attractive place to work for highly qualified Black teachers, she said.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone has appeared not only on The New York Times children's best sellers list for 83 weeks but also on a KU summer course reading list.
Michelle Stie, graduate teaching assistant in English, speaks to her class about Harry Potter, a character in J.K. Rowling's book series. Students in Stie's "Literature for Children" class began discussing Rowling's first book in the series last week. Photo by Aaron Lindberg/KANSAN
Michelle Stie, graduate teaching assistant in English, and the students in her course "Literature for Children" began discussing last week J.K. Rowling's first book in her series about Harry Potter, the fictional boy who can perform magic.
"Part of the reason I put it on the list was because the series has been such a phenomenon." Stie said. "But I also wanted to impress upon students that Harry Potter is a very old story wrapped up in an exciting presentation. It's the fight between good and evil."
Brebeca Diebelt, Lawrence senior,
said she got hooked on the series
when she read the first book during
the Fourth of July weekend.
"Harry's the traditional epic hero put in modern-day clothes," Diebolt said. "In a way, it's a male Cinderella story."
Another member of the class who is a fan of Rowling's work is Tracy Slaughter, Lawrence senior. Before driving to Bartlesville, Okla., about 200 miles south of Lawrence, Slaughter and her husband went to Borders Books Music & Cafe, 700 New Hampshire St., at midnight to get Rowling's fourth book, Harry
Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
"We read it the whole way down there and the whole way back" he said.
Stie said that readers could relate to Rowling's character.
Harry Potter," she said. "He is a misunderstood, abused character."
"We see ourselves a little bit in
Stie also said she appreciated how the series had encouraged many to read.
"What makes Harry Potter exciting
to me is that it has children and adults interested in reading." she said.
Stie and her class discussed how various critics, including some Christian bookstores, had opposed the books because of their treatment of magic.
Yet not everyone favors the stories about the child wizard.
Along with Harry Potter, the rest of the 10 books on the course reading list include such works as Francis Hodgson Burnett's *A Little Princess*, Lewis Carroll's *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland* and Robert Louis Stevenson's *Treasure Island*.
Stie said it was important to view children's works as literature.
these are sophisticated stories,' she said. "The assumption is that children's books are simplistic and not worthy of critical study. Nothing could be further from the truth."
One of the course requirements is a project, which can take various forms. Stie said that some students, for example, were submitting marketing plans for books or creative writing samples while others were writing research papers.

"I'm going to look at some movies and see how the endings have been altered for the modern audience," she said. "I think they're more realistic in some cases."
Slaughter is writing about film versions of fairy-tale endings.

Melanie Yunghans, Leavenworth senior, gave high marks for the course, which Stie herself is teaching for the first time.
"I think it's an excellent class," Yunghans said. "It forces an individual to look at children's books in an adult way. You have to look at them from a social perspective as well as economic, political and racial perspectives."

Pets often suffer when students buy on impulse
THE OWN OF THE WORLD

At the end of every semester, the Lawrence Humane Society gets about 50 animals at its shelter left by students who are leaving town.
Midge Grinstead, executive director of the Humane Society, said they do not discourage students from adopting pets, but that they encourage them to think through the commitment and responsibility that having a pet requires.
Dogs, cats, gerbils, rabbits, ferrets, lizards and birds are taken in by the Humane Society.
"Students are treated the same as everyone else," she said.
Students interested in adopting a pet can select a pet and fill out an application form. Grinstead said.
There is a 24- to 48-hour waiting period after filling out an application for two reasons, Grinstead said.
The society checks with the manager or landlord of the applicant's home to verify that the person lives there and can have the pet.
The waiting period also lets people think about their decision before they actually take home a pet.
"It is hard to walk in the building and by the kennels," Grinstead said. "Students away from home and their pets feel obligated to take one home. About half of them will change their mind after the waiting period. Many students adopt the hand-held pets because landlords tend to allow those more."
Because of this, student adopt a low percentage of cats and dogs, she said.
Grinstead said that students interested in adopting a pet should think carefully about the responsibility and commitment of having a pet.
much of having "The No. 1 reason people have for bringing an animal to the shelter is, 'I'm moving'." Grinstead said.
For students who move a lot and don't have the time or space to care for a fulltime pet, the society offers volunteer
opportunities weekly. Grinstead said.
"We encourage students to volunteer in here or at our special events outside of here," she said.
Students can walk and exercise the animals, bathe them, clean kennels or assist at the front desk, Grinstead said.
Those who can't volunteer at the she
ter can still work with the animals.
Every weekend a group of students have Adopt-a-Pet clinics at Petco Animal Supplies, 3115 Iowa St. Volunteers take animals to the store and encourage people to adopt, Grinstead said.
She said there are also volunteers who go to Storytime at Hastings Books, Music
& Video. 1900 W. 23rd St., on weekends.
"There will be a storyteller telling a story about animals and we bring animals into the store," she said.
Volunteers can also help take animals to visit nursing homes in town.
Students can learn more about volun teer training by calling 843-6353 or by stopping by the shelter: It is a two-week course and the meetings are the first and second Thursdays of each month.
In addition to pet adoption and volunteer opportunities, the Humane Society offers education programs; sheltering homeless and unwanted pets; a lost and found program; emergency rescue; cru
elty investigation; liaison and outreach to government groups and veterinarians; and publicity and fundraising.
The society is funded by the city and county and by donations. Puppy and kitten food, toys, collars and cat litter are always needed. Grinstead said.
The society is open from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Creationists try to make their case at KU museum
By Candy Ruff
Special to the Kansan
Tom Willis took a handful of creationists on a tour Sunday at the KU Natural History Museum, pointing out what he said he believes to be the differences between evolution and creation.
ories begin with similar data, Willis said.
Willis - creation theory advocate and member of the Creation Science Association for Mid-America - supported the decision made last summer by the Kansas State Board of Education to deepasize evolution from its science standards.
He said the decision put pressure on the association to explain more fully its position on creationist theory. He said the Natural History Museum was a good place to make the association's point.
That's because evolution and creation the
"Creationists have looked closely at the fossils, the geologic strata and formations you will find in the display cases here," he said. "But what we see are life forms that had an abrupt appearance. They were fully formed and functional."
While geologists say animal species evolved during millions of years, creationists deny that much change occurred.
Willis said the Biblical record is the creationist's guide. The book of Genesis says God destroyed the world with a catastrophic flood, he said.
"Now, with that in mind, what kind of evidence would be found to support that?" he asked. "Dead things, millions of them or even billions, all buried in rock layers, laid down by water and catastrophic
events over most of the earth. That is where scientists found all the material you see here. And that is what Genesis tells us happened."
The evolution that begins with mesophilus and ends with today's horse is a favorite topic for Ed Johlman, a creationist from Eudora.
"This is an old lie that's been around a long time," Johlman said. "You see in this display five skulls that represent how the horse developed over millions of years. Yet, what the scientists will not tell you is that two of those skulls were found next to one another in a site in Nebraska. If these animals lived thousands or even millions of years apart, how could they end up together in the same strata of earth?"
The usupay's assumption, Johlman said,
is that the horse started small and
large.
grew gradually to a larger and better specimen. One of the skulls, however, does not belong to a horse at all, he said.
it's a rock badger in the skull sequence. I guess they just threw that,in," he said. Carbon dating is not to be trusted. Willis said, and the scientific methods are questionable.
Creationists question scientists' claims that fossils are millions of years old.
"Commonality of structure doesn't prove commonality of descent." Willis said. "Isaiah 45 says, 'It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands stretch out over the heavens. I marshaled their starry hosts.' Man and all the creatures on earth did not evolve over time. They were created as you see them now."

Chinese calligraphy exhibit challenges tradition
Contemporary artists push the envelope of time-honored art
By Stephanie Tweito Special to the Kansan
Laura Pasch, Spencer Museum of Art intern, talked about the boom in the traditional art of calligraphy in China at a lecture Thursday night in the Kress Gallery.
Pasch spoke to a small group the exhibit "Brushed Voices: Calligraphy in Contemporary China," which features 60 works by leading contemporary calligraphers in China.
The exhibit represents the recent popularity of calligraphy in China
The modern works combine elements of traditional calligraphy with experimental elements, creating a diverse group of works.
"It is a show that gives a variety of what's out there and what's fresh in calligraphy today," Pasch said.
The works, all completed in the last decade, maintain and expand the boundaries of traditional calligraphy, which has been a respected art form in China for more than 2,000 years, she said.
Pasch said the modern artists either worked within tradition to create their own, unique style or pushed the boundaries of what was considered calligraphy by combining experimental elements.
"One example of how you can push the boundaries of what's considered calligraphy is by combining scripts," Pasch said.
She said there were a number of different scripts in calligraphy, somewhat comparable to the difference between print and cursive writing in the West.
sealed script, an early type of Chinese characters used in seals, and another script in which the characters are almost like pictographs, Pasch said.
The earliest scripts include
"Many characters began as this and have evolved." Pasch said.
Some scripts are very legible and were used by scribes while others, such as cursive scripts, were written quickly and loosely.
Combining these scripts on the same scroll, or on the same piece, is characteristic of the modern calligraphers.
Other characteristics of the works that challenge traditional styles include using different sized characters, veering from the traditional top-to-bottom, right-to-left, reading sequence, altering the structure of the characters and using texts from nontraditional sources.
"They incorporate things that would be considered an error in
classical calligraphy." Pasch said.
The brush techniques used to compose the modern works also veer from traditional methods. The artists use speed in painting the characters, varied saturation of their brushes, dark and light ink, different-sized characters and irregular symmetry.
In many pieces, the emphasis is on the process and composition, not the legibility.
In fact, some exhibit pieces do not have any calligraphy but are paintings.
"The inclusion of painting in a calligraphy show is really not such an odd choice, because painting and calligraphy share the same skills and the same tools: brush, paper and ink," Pasch said.
"Typically if someone is a good calligrapher, you would expect them to be a good painter and vice versa," she said.
The University of Kansas is the
second and final stop for the exhibit before it returns to Beijing. It showed in New York City before coming to the University and will be here until Sept. 3.
The exhibit's curator and organizer, Yiguo Zhang, of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will offer two calligraphy demonstrations and workshops on Aug. 24 and 25. Pre-registration is required. Contact Kristina Mitchell at 864-0137 or kemitch@ukans.edu. Zhang also will give a public talk on the exhibit in the gallery at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 24.
Museum hours are Tuesday,
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday
10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday 10 a.m.
to 9 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.
Admission is free.

Freshman institute students get inside track on learning curve
By Brandy Straw
Special to the Kansan
The thought of going to college was overwhelming for Leonard Hansen III
But after spending the last month at the Freshman Summer Institute Hansen, Edmond, Okla., freshman, realized that college was manageable.
Students in the institute, which consists of two, month-long sessions in June and July, earn five credit hours, learn how to get around campus and Lawrence and experience residence hall life, said Tammara Durham, Freshman Summer Institute coordinator.
And learning those skills gives institute graduates an edge against other freshmen.
"They feel like upperclassmen in the fall," Durham said.
All institute students take PRE 101, Orientation Seminar, and another threecredit hour class. The classes are reserved for institute students, so the class size is small, which Durham said allowed students
to develop relationships with their professors.
Durham said students also learned how to use KU on Wheels and the location of buildings while most of the student body was on summer vacation, which created a more relaxed learning environment for institute students. Students also said that it was easy to get around Lawrence.
Hansen said that Lawrence offered more things to do than his hometown, which is home to the University of Central Oklahoma. While Hansen wasn't able to see all of Lawrence — he didn't bring his car — he saw the city's residential areas when he ran each evening.
"It's beautiful." Hansen said
Besides how to get around the campus, institute students also learn whom to turn to when they get lost in the academic world. Each institute student is assigned to an academic advisor and is required to meet with them at least once before they attend the New Student Orientation on one Saturday in June or July.
Knowing that they have someone to turn to automatically shrinks the new students' universe. Durham said.
Living in a residence hall also helps to shrink the students' universe — even if it means sharing a bathroom.
"I did not like the idea of a community bathroom," said Marcie Rohleder, Plainsville freshman. "But it was not as bad as I thought it would be."
Rohleder said that she liked that she was able to met a lot of other students while living in the halls.
Students also bond through group and residence hall activities. During the institute's first week, students went to the University's Outdoor Education Center at the Adams Challenge Course, which is an obstacle course that emphasizes teamwork.
Students also talked with professors and advisers at "Grillin' with the Profs," a barbecue where students grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. On one Saturday, the students volunteered in the Lawrence community.
Hansen volunteered at the Humane Society
"It made me feel good to know I helped other people," Hansen said. He said he planned to major in sports management and possibly own a workout facility that rehabilitated injured athletes.
By participating in the institute's activities, students are more comfortable using campus resources and talking to professors when they start in the fall.
and helped build a home.
"I think these students tend to be more involved," Durham said.
Hansen said he hoped he could run track and join a campus or community group this fall.
"This is the best choice of my college career so far," he said of participating in the institute. "I know what to expect in class and out of class now."
By going out of state for college, Hansen said he has learned a lot about what he likes and who he is.
"College is about making decisions," Hansen said.

K.C. Zoo to introduce 150 new animals
By BriAnne Hess editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
The Kansas City Zoological Park is celebrating Kansas City's 150th anniversary by introducing 150 new animals.
The additions will include an Andean condor, snakes, bats, two male gorillas, zebras and a Peregrine falcon. A few baby animals also are on display.
Denise Redina, media relations manager, said a chimpanzee was born in May, and a baby giraffe named Kitalle was born in February.
The next addition to the zoo will
be a baby rhinoceros.
the female rhino, Luyisa, is due within the next four weeks and has been taken out of the exhibit.
ROAD TRIP
"She doesn't even
She doesn't even want to be around the male right now," Redina said. "We're hoping to have a Web site that shows behind-the-scenes before and after the birth."
Redina said that it might be spring before the baby rhino was placed on exhibit because of the winter months.
Tomorrow night, Sunset Safari will kick off at 5 p.m. with live iazz
music from 6 to 8 p.m. at the boothouse in Africa. The zoo is divided into sections such as Africa, Asia and Australia, a section for lions and an international farm area.
The animals that will be featured tomorrow are birds such as the Peregrine falcon and the Harris hawk. Next week, the featured animals will be baboons. In August,
the Safari will feature live blues music.
On Saturday, Blue Bunny Ice Cream will sponsor an Ice Cream Safari. For $2, patrons
can buy an ice cream card, which will benefit the zoo.
Some zoo-going tips the park offers on its Web site, www.kansascityzoo.org:
1. Look carefully through each exhibit. Because of the zoo's natural settings, the animals are sometimes hard to see.
2. Spring, fall and weekday visits are often less crowded. So are early mornings and Sunset Safaris.
ROAD TRIP OF THE WEEK
What: Kansas City Zoological Park
Where: Kansas City Ecological Park
Where: Swope Park in Kansas City, Mo.

Artist sheds tough exterior to bare soul
By BritAnne Hess editor@kansan.com Kansan co-editor
She looks like a badass on the cover of her third album.
But a conversation with Bif Naked reveals that the lead singer of the pop-punk band (of the same name) wears her fragile heart on her sleeve and is intimidated by tattoos.
Bif Naked will open for The Urge at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Why I, Bificus for the name of your second album?
I thought it was funny — kind of a reference to I, Claudius. (Roman emperor from 41 to 54 A.D. known for his lenient and fair rule.) If not through music, how would you express yourself?
Well, my folks stuck all of us in the performing arts — ballet, drama — so I've always had a career in the performing arts. Song writing is the best medium for me. It's the best way to travel, and I really like my job.
The stupid things about life. The stuff I go through. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and it gets broken a lot.
What would be the best compliment someone could give you?
What are your inspirations?
BIF NAKED BIO
That they can relate emotionally on some level sometimes. There's a song about sexual assault on my first album. I've had like 10 girls come up to me at every show and say thank you for writing that song.
Born in New Delhi, India, in 1971 to two private school teenagers.
18 years later — enrolled at the University of Winnepeg, where she joined the local music troupe, Jungle Milk. Dropped out of college.
Adapted by two American missionaries.
Married Jungle Milk's drummer -- divorced 6 months later
Became front singer of skater-rock group Gorilla Gorilla
1994 - left another band,
Chrome Dog, to join Dying to be
Violent.
Later in 1994, Bif went solo and released her indie EP, Four Songs and a Poem.
Released her self-titled album.
1995 - abandoned eating red meat, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol.
1998 - released I Bificus.
1999 — performed with Lilith Fair and toured with the Cult and Kid Rock.
Yesterday, a guy told me they were using "Lucky" as their wedding song. He asked if I could sing it at the wedding.
Why Bif Naked?
"Bif" has been a nickname for Beth since I was 12 years old. "Naked" was the moniker bestowed on me at the tender age of 17. I thought about changing my name when I was 20, but it's not the name on my driver's license.
The first time I heard one of your songs, it was "Lucky" on the Buffy
BIF
NAKED
I Bificus
the Vampire Slayer soundtrack. Are you a Buffy fan?
Kind of — but I don't have a TV at home. When we played on the show, Sarah Michelle Gellar was very nice, though. I was impressed.
And you have a dog?
I have two actually — a Maltese, Niklas, and a Bichon Frise, Annastasia. They're white foo-foo dogs like Liz Taylor. I even put barrettes in their hair. Nik has little-dog syndrome. I think we're both co-dependent.
Do people often stereotype you by the way you look?
They think I'm going to be tall like Xena or something. I'm 5'6". They also expect me to have a harder personality. It's all in their own misconceptions. It's just the way society is. If I saw a guy with tattoos, I'd be intimidated, but that's just the way it goes. He's probably the nicest guy on the face of the earth.
The Urge turns up the volume on Too Much Stereo
By Derek John
Special to the Kansan
The Urge Too Much Stereo
When the new album from The Urge arrived at the newsroom this past week, this nostalgic critic was whisked back to an earlier era. An era when downtown Lawrence was a musical sanctuary for local and regional talent.
The music scene — drawing from skilled musicians with a grassroots sensibility — found support from then-alternative rock pioneer, KLZR 105.9 FM.
Ambitious local concerts, such as the Jayhawk Music Festival, brought in quality Midwest acts just before they exploded onto the national scene.
Omaha's 311 and St. Louis' The Urge, are prime examples of bands who found their regional neighbor, Lawrence, to be a willing incubator for their music, before hitting the big time.
These glory years are now but a distant memory.
Alternative rock, on a larger scale, has lost much of its punch and Lawrence is no exception. The local music scene still
thrives but is headed in a different direction. KLZR is a joke and the local rock festivals seem to have lost some of their edge
That said, it was with some hesitation that I listened to Too Much Stereo.
But the new release proved to be a pleasant surprise. The album begins somewhat reluctant, but by the fourth track, "Four Letters and Two Words," the group found its stride as angst-ridden guitars buzzed over a rumbling bass line and tight percussion.
The lyrics are bittersweet in their memory of a lost love: "She was able to make the immovable movable/ She was able to make the impossible possible/ Four Letters and Two Words/ Words that mean the same/Funny how one is 'love' and one is your name."
Other tracks feature the band's signature horns and ska-like guitar licks that fit John Doe's lead vocals like a glove.
Whereas in the past The Urge cranked out head-banging groove after head-banging groove, this album reveals a more sensitive side. Catchy hooks bolstered by unusual harmonies provide a nice contrast to the
THE URGE

usual fare and definitely sets this group apart.
We can never go back to the mid-'90s, but albums like Too Much Stereo prove that period of musical excitement was no fluke. Is this new album worth purchasing? Probably, but go out and listen for yourself. The Urge play The Granada with Bif Naked on Saturday.

Galactic capitalizes on funk origins
By Derek John Special to the Kansan
Galactic Late for the Future
Many thought the musical genre of funk played itself out 25 years ago.
Fact is, even in today's world — where beats of all kinds are emanating from a variety of different musical devices — nothing can stir the passions, move the feet or shake the booty like greasy, down-home, organic funk.
Relying on this truism, New Orleans' Galactic has cut another album of infectious grooves that get right to the point.
Capitalizing on a number of funky predecessors, Galactic has found a following by the same bills as jam bands Widespread Panic, Maceo Parker, and Medeski, Martin & Wood. But Galactic — steeped in the deep funk of Crescent City godfathers, The Meters and the Neville Brothers — bring something more authentic to the table.
Founding members Robert Mercurio, who provides slinky bass lines, and guitarist Jeff Raines have become a tight rhythm section unto themselves. When drummer Stanton
Moore adds his swamp beats to the mix, and Hammond B-3 organist Rich Vogel contributes a few of his own ingredients, the result is an unprecedented musical gumbo.
Building on their first two recordings for Capricorn Records, *Late for the Future* intelligently uses cosmic effects, turtitables and other updated percussive sounds to cater to complex musical palettes. A number of guest artists also appear on the album. Roger Lewis of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band plays baritone sax on "Baker's Dozen," which Galactic's saxman Ben Ellman wrote in honor of their fellow New Orleans funkateers.
And the enigmatic Theryl "Houseman" de Clouet, who at this point is almost a regular in the band, lenis his soulful growls to five of the 14 tracks. Most notable is his smooth work on the instant lowrider classic "Century City" that makes you want to put the top down and cruise the boulevards. Galactic, formerly known as Galactic Prophylactic has continued to thrive despite the demise of the acid jazz scene from whence they came.
Their gig at the Newport Jazz Festival has also given them more credibility among jazz heads.
GALACTiC
LATE FOR THE FUTURE
But their bread and butter is still their penchant for making people get stupid on the dance floor. To experience this phenomenon, check out Galactic on Friday at Sandstone Amphitheatre where they'll be opening for Live and the Counting Crows.
Funk band to take stage at Sandstone
BROOKLYN
By BriAna Hess editor@kansan.com Kansan coeditor
Stanton Moore, drummer, and the rest of the funk band Galactic will open for Live and the Counting Crows on Saturday.
The native of New Orleans was getting ready to hit the road yesterday to join up with their touring compatriots.
Are you looking forward to touring with Live and the Counting Crows?
Yeah. It's different than how we normally perform. We just had six weeks off. We normally tour on our own and headline our own shows and bring out our favorite bands like the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and other New Orleans bands. So going out on a big tour will be fun. We'll be with them for five weeks.
What are the band's influences?
We checked out the bank's infidences.
WeChecked out a lot of older funk stuff — New Orleans stuff — James Brown, a lot of the blue-note boogaloo. Right now we're trying to incorporate bands like Critters Buggin' and Lake Trout that we're digging.
We're checking out bands that experiment with sound and tone to
try to incorporate that with the old-school band. We're trying to expand the sound we already have under our fingertips.
What is funk?
Funk is music with an undeniable groove that instantly makes any listener get up and dance or move some part of their body. A straight-up funk beat can make you completely shake everything you have. Once you listen to it, you know what funk is.
How'd you get the name Galactic?
Well, Rob and Jeff, the bass and guitar players, grew up in D.C. and had a
friend who was always more prepared than the average Boy Scout — so they called the little thing he carried his Galactic Prophylactic. After they came to New Orleans and the music started maturing, we started looking for different names. We couldn't think of any and we already had name recognition so we kept it kind of by default.
What's the biggest compliment someone could give you about your music?
For me, one thing that comes to mind is when we have older musicians come out and play with us. When they turn around and say
'Man, that's the shit,' that's cool because that's what we grew up listening to and that what's we dig.
How did you get your nickname — Stanton Moore, the drumming whore?
When Galactic was just *letting started, I'd run around and play gigs with everyone. I was playing for six or seven bands at once. When I wasn't playing, I'd get out and sit with people. They used to call me that a lot, but I'm with Galactic and not playing around, I don't hear it as often.

Study finds more competition would mean more jobs, economic prosperity for Kansas
Recently, Southwestern Bell filed a plan with the Kansas Corporation Commission to compete for long-distance telephone service in Kansas. What would increased long-distance competition mean for Kansas?
Increased competition promises consumers more competitive rates, better service and more choices. But perhaps more exciting, a recent study shows that Southwestern Bell's entry into the longdistance market could stimulate Kansas' economy
PENNY FLEMMING
Debbie Vignatelli
In its March 2000 economic impact study, the Wharton Econometrics Forecasting Associates of Pennsylvania compared Kansas' gross state product and total employment over the next 10 years with and without increased long-distance competition. The study concluded that increased competition would result in:
- more Kansas jobs - an additional 2,261 new jobs within five years,and 8,721 within 10 years
- jobs across all major industries - as lower prices and enhanced applications boost economic activity throughout the economy
- higher gross state product - $741 million higher by the end of the 10-year forecast than without increased competition
Today, more than 50 competitive companies serve customers in 129 of Southwestern Bell's 134 local exchanges. And we estimate that more than 170,000 access lines are served by our competitors.
Now it's time to open up the long-distance market and let Kansas take full advantage of the economic prosperity increased competition has to offer.

Technology and religion share strange similarities
Previous generations have dealt with mixed relationships based on ethnicity, class and religion; now so am I.
But my struggle, while unusual, is just as poignant — technology.
The Digital Divide — the growing disparity between the wired world's haves and have-nots — has received a lot of media attention lately. But it affects me deeply in a personal way.
I'm wired, my fiance is not.
In a couple where one "has religion" and the other
I'm wired, my fiancée is not
In a couple where one "has religion" and the other does not, the one "with" usually tries to persuade the other to convert. Our relationship
other to convert. Our relationship is no different.
My better half has dutifully made the effort to learn about email, instant message technology and the Web. She even took a KU class about technology.
She will convert, if for no other reason, to be able to communicate with me.
But as you may have observed from my past columns, I look at the world through dotcom-colored glasses. And it is from that perspective that I have observed some eerie parallels between technology and religion. I am not suggesting that technology is a substitute for religion or that it will be replaced in an Aldous Huxley-like way, just that there are some strange similarities.

Big Blue was what it was. Business computing made the transition to the home.
In the beginning, there was IBM, and personal computers were mainstream goodness.
but IBM has never had to recruit people to use its equipment; it stands upon its reputation alone.
My perception is that this is like Judaism.
Based upon a conversation with a former Kansan staff member who was Jewish, I learned that members of the Jewish faith do not proselytize (recruit).
Judaism is the oldest and in a way the foundation of the three major monotheistic religions of the world. IBM also can be viewed as the foundation and innovator in computing technology.
Then from IBM came the great technological beehm, Microsoft, and its charismatic leader Bill Gates. Now just go with me for a minute on this — Microsoft has taken some aspects of IBM and improved upon them, and rejected others.
Part of Christianity is based upon Judaism. Christianity emphasized some aspects and rejected others.
www
Just as early Christians were persecuted by the leaders of the time, Microsoft has been the subject of government scrutiny lately. But more eriec than this
is the fanatical devotion of Windows users.
Windows is the only way to go, and the only operating system worth having. You either use Windows or you are technologically inferior—you are viewed as an outsider in business.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak haven't claimed to be anything different, despite their ad campaign that states, "Think Different."
Their original machine was built in a garage from the parts of other computers. "The Steves" were merely "correcting" the computing mistakes made by their competitors.
Muslims believe that their founder, Mohammed, was not introducing anything new, but was taking the Bible and the Torah, and "refocusing" their deviations in the Koran.
The other weird parallel I've noticed is the reverence with which people refer to Redmond, Wash., and to Cupertino, Calif. — the headquarters of Microsoft and Apple, respectively.
This vaguely makes me think of the pilgrimages that religious folks take to Jerusalem or Mecca to reinforce their beliefs.
Maybe, maybe not.
But if Saturn owners go to Spring Hill, Tenn., to see where their cars are made, doesn't it stand to reason that techies would travel to the technological centers of their Universes?
My last impression on this whole religion/technology thing is that people who are not "religious" are generally looked down upon by those who are.
When someone tells me that he doesn't have an email address or that she doesn't own a computer, my first thought is, "What kind of backward cretin are you?"
Pagans? Heathens? Non-wired? Same difference.

Students learn to cut a rug at downtown dance academy
By Gina Kohake Special to the Kansan
Most Sunday nights, KU students Richard Findley and Jen Mellard go to the Flamingo Dance Academy to swing dance under the spinning lights of the disco ball.
"It is the most enjoyable thing I have ever done in my entire life," said Findley, Lawrence junior. "It is something to get out and meet new people and dance."

Since its opening in March, the academy, located at 1117 Massachusetts St., has become quite popular with KU students, said swing instructor Mark Harris.
MARILYN MONROE
"It's great because kids are actually touch dancing again," Harris said. "Although it is fast music, they are dancing with each other instead of just bouncing around. Some are even learning other dances."
The academy offers lessons for dances like West Coast swing, Latin, salsa and tango. Students can attend hour-long group classes for $7 or take private lesson for $45 an hour. On Friday nights, the academy schedules bands to perform.
Owner Wade Qandil said the Flamingo taught the five elements of dance: pattern, style, animation timing and rhythm.
Qandil, a former professional dancer, has been a dance instructor in the Kansas City area for the past 28 years. He started dancing in Germany while
he was in college, and one night at a club, a dance recruiter noticed him. Qandil trained to be an instructor.
Dancing is a good way to reduce life's stress, Qandil said.
"Dancing is a way of getting away from the computer and hard work. It's an escape," he said. "It is one thing you can do that is clean, neat and easy. It is a way to relax your mind."
But after a short time, she fit into the crowd.
Mellard, Meade senior, said there was no reason to be afraid of taking lessons. She said she was nervous about going to the academy at first because she didn't know anyone and didn't have a partner.
try at least once."
"It is a great group of friends, and there is nobody here that I don't feel comfortable with." Mellard said. "I know this is something out of most people's comfort zone, but it is a great new experience that you should
Findley said dancing provided an outlet for people who wanted a different kind of rush.
"It is a release." he said. "It's something you can do to get out and have some good clean fun. Once you start, it's addictive."
And Findley said dancing was an easy way to stay fit.
It doesn't even feel like I am exercising," he said.
