Marvin craft shop needs upgrade
Technician believes vent system caused respiratory problems
By Kursten Phelps

Kansan staff writer
Mark Umholtz, the School of Architecture's craft shop technician, said he wants everyone using the shop to breathe easier - something he said isn't possible
with the existing ventilation system.
Uhmoltz, who has been the shop technician since 1983, wants the school to replace the ventilation system for the welding equipment and install a central exhaust system to reduce the amount of wood dust in the air at the Marvin Hall facility, which architecture and design students use to construct models and projects for various classes.
Umholtz began experiencing respiratory problems three years ago, which he said he suspected were triggered by being exposed to excessive wood dust and toxic welding fumes without proper ventilation. He said his medical costs had reached $5,000 and were still mounting.
Swann said that several safety improvements were completed during the summer, including lowering the shop's occupancy from 10 to six students and restricting use of
"We're still guessing on all the causes, but it points to the welding fumes and all that stuff" said Umholtz, who now wears a respirator while working. "Last September or October my doctor told me not to go back unless they make some changes."
Uhmholtz said he was concerned that the air quality of the room could be hazardous to students' health, but Mike Swann, associate dean of architecture, said no data had been collected to prove the existing systems were inadequate.
the welding hood to one student at a time to reduce the amount of fumes produced.
Umholtz said a glass door on an adjoining office was also installed so he could observe shop activities in an environment with cleaner air.
Vince Duet, a third-year architecture student from Chicago, started using the shop last semester before the improvements were made. He recently began working for Umholtz, who now requires Duet to wear a respirator. He said that last semester he had experienced occasional bloody noses

Panel to mull genetically altered food
By Jason Krall

Kansas staff writer
Believe it or not, fish are helping farmers grow a better tomato.
Farmers are using genes from the sole fish, a flounder-like bottom-dweller accustomed to cold temperatures, to make their tomato crops more resistant to cold weather.
It's just one example of genetic engineering in agriculture. While more than 70 percent of the nation's crops have undergone some form of genetic engineering, some people argue that most consumers are unaware of the technology's health and environmental risks.
Ecumenical Christian Ministries will host a panel discussion on the issue Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. featuring panelists on both sides of the issue.
Paul Johnson, head of the Organic Farmers Cooperative of Kansas, and Orley "Chip" Taylor, professor of entomology, will argue against genetic engineering in agriculture. Bill Wood, agent for agriculture at Kansas State University's Douglas County Extension, and Bob Benton, a Kansas State researcher, will argue for its benefits.
Also scheduled to attend, though not confirmed, is Reform Party presidential candidate John Hagelin, a physicist who has criticized genetic engineering in agriculture.
Some environmentalists claim that the technology could upset ecosystems. For example, insecticide drawn from the tissue of genetically engineered corn has been found to kill the larvae of Monarch butterflies. Taylor is currently researching that topic.
And tomatoes that survive cold weather become a food source for coldweather insects that normally wouldn't eat tomatoes.
"The point is, we're tampering with nature's plan," said Susana Curatolo, doctoral student in engineering and physics who will moderate the discussion. "We try to see that it is possible to grow things organically, to work with nature."
While federal funds are already being used for research on genetically enhanced food, Curatolo said farmers had incorporated the technology faster than researchers could assess its costs.
Allergens can be be released when genetically engineered crops are dusted with insecticides, said Stephen Benedict, professor of microbiology.
But many of the ethical issues tied to genetically engineering food are as old as agriculture itself, he said. Farmers have been playing with genetics for centuries, including everything from cross-pollinating corn to breeding cattle. But new technologies raise new concerns.
Cross-cultural reception aims to link minority students, athletes
"By the time we find out if there is a negative side effect, we won't be able to do anything about it," she said.
But perhaps the technology's greatest advantage lies in the increased volume farmers can produce, and some argue that genetic engineering may hold solutions to world hunger.
More dry days increase chances for blaze
"You have to be careful that you don't create something that will take over its environment," Benedict said.

"Folks around the world who don't have that California-fruit-basket dirt can grow things they wouldn't normally grow," Benedict said. "It makes it much easier to feed people."

At least that is the hope of Gary Kempf, director of student athlete life and coaches' development. Kempf helped plan the Student Athlete of Color Reception, scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Naismith Lunge in Allen Fieldhouse.
Students of color and student athletes of color will find common ground at a reception Tuesday night.
Kemp said this is the first year for the event, calling it an "informal gathering." The students will be welcomed to the University of Kansas and learn about one another's lives.

"We just want to give an opportunity for the athletes of color and students of color to meet each other." he said.
Edited by Lori O'Toole
Santos Nunez, assistant director of the Multicultural Resource Center, agreed.
Often, interaction between athletes and their classmates can be impeded by busy schedules and separate facilities. Alberta Wright, assistant director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said the lack of exposure especially was reflected on minority student athletes.
"what we want to do is encourage dialogue between the two groups," she said.
"Even coaches acknowledge that the athletes of color aren't exposed to the other students of color," she said.
Head football coach Terry Allen said that he planned to attend the reception, and that it would provide athletes with an opportunity to branch out from their teams and meet other students.
Hakim Muhammad, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said it was important for multicultural students to have a broad base of friends because they represented a minority on the KU campus.
"It's good to interact, especially in an environ ment like this," he said.
Jason Hylton, Costa Rica junior, said he felt there was both a lot of diversity and adversity at the University.
"It's good to always have different kinds of friends. You don't have to be around the same people all the time." he said.
"it sounds like a good idea because KU isn't exactly the most diverse place, being mostly white." Hylton said. "We all want to see more of our own culture around.
The reception is sponsored by the Athletics Department and the Multicultural Resource Center.

Although it is home to four separate churches on its upper level—Presbyterian Church USA, United Church of Christ, Church of the Brethren and the Religious Society of Friends—below its floors reside a much different group.
In the ECM building's basement live six college students brought together by a desire for communal living and a shared interest in exploring spirituality rather than orthodox religion. The community is called Koinonia, a Greek word meaning "radical fellowship."
"Religion is definitely a part of it, but in a more general sense of the word," said Catie Schroeck, Oak Park, Ill., senior.
This semester is Schroeck's first at Koinonia. She said she learned about the community because she had known some of the previous participants. It appealed to her, she said, because it was inexpensive and a unique living situation.
It's in between the dooms, when you don't get to know anybody," she said. Schroeko said she also welcomed the chance to explore her spirituality with others.
"A lot of University students are searching for a lot of things, and spirituality is one of them," Schroeck said.
"It's in-between the dorms, which are so social, and apartments, where you don't get to know anybody," she said.
Jenny trannuk, Akron, Ohio, graduate student, also came to Koinonia to learn more about her spirituality.
"Communal living forces you to interact with people," she said. "It makes you learn about yourself. It's ever-changing and never dull."
Pramuk, who at two years has lived at Kohnonia the longest, said spirituality was the common denominator
among the residents.
"We're all spiritual people, not necessarily religious," she said.
Part of the mission of the community is to help people understand their spirituality and faith.
"An integral part of being an educated person is examining and exploring the spiritual journey," said Rev. Thad Holcombe, who oversees Koimonia. He said the project began as an all-women's group in the 1940s at the Westminster House, which was across the street from the current location of the ECM, 1204 Oread Ave. In 1960, it became coed.
Holcombe said that members of Koinonia must commit themselves to a covenant, which includes going on a retreat with the other members at the beginning of the semester and performing three hours per week of leadership and/or
participation in the ECM ministry.
Members also are limited to three years of participation in Koinonia.
The members also are required to take turns preparing a dinner for the other members every Wednesday along with a topic of discussion usually revolving around spirituality or social responsibility.
"We don't require the members to be Christians," Holcombe said, "But they must acknowledge that Koinonia has a history that comes from the Christian tradition."
Forcing the members to conform,however,is by no means a goal of the group.
"We want to support exploration of what it means to be a person of faith," Holcombe said.

Doctor may resume abortion practice soon
Lawrence's only abortion provider's practice was put on hold last month, but she may be able to resume practice in a few days.
the Board of Healing Arts ruled earlier this month that Kristin Neuhaus could not use conscious sedation, which eases pain but does not interfere with a patient's respiration, on her patients until she demonstrated that she could abide by national standards for anesthetics.
Though her records show no documentation of complaints or emergencies during her practice, the records were not adequate to the board, said Donald Strole, her attorney.
Strohe thinks that Neuhaus will be able to submit more detailed records that can prove to the board that she is capable of handling emergencies.
The board was not expected to meet again for two months, but Strole said he would submit a request for a hearing officer to move up the hearing date.
"Hopefully we can get the order modified, and get her back in business by the end of the week," he said.
in the meantime, Strole said Neuhaus would have to refer patients that wanted conscious sedation to other doctors, which could force her to shut down her practice because of lack of business.

ACLU sues treasurer for religious motto
TOPEKA — Shawne County Treasurer Rita Cline and the American Civil Liberties Union are going to court over signs in Cline's office that proclaim "In God We Trust."
The ACLU is asking a federal court to force Cline to take down the signs. She has responded by hiring a "religious liberties law firm" from Orlando, Fla., to help her fight the action.
In a petition filed Wednesday morning
in U.S. District Court in Topeka, the ACU accused Cline of inappropriately using her office to push her religion on numerous occasions.
The ACLU contends that last April, Topeka resident Mary Lou Schmidt, who says she is a pagan, telephoned Cline's office to object to the display of the "In God We Trust" sign.
The signs go beyond the message of the national motto, according to the ACLU.

Drug use falls with teens, rises with young adults
WASHINGTON — Teenagers are continuing to shun illegal drugs, with reported use falling for a second consecutive year.
Though young adults are reporting drug use, federal health officials and interest groups said a survey shows that anti-drug messages are nipping lifelong abuse in the bud.
The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse was released by McCaffrey and Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala.
Use among young adults, 18-to-25 yearsold, continued its steady rise, according to the household survey of 67,000 people ages 12 and up.
Political parties unite to nominate Hagelin
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Announcing an alliance between his Natural Law Party and a faction of the Reform Party that favors him over Pat Buchanan yesterday, John Hagelin called the new partnership "a marriage made in heaven."
Hagelin, an Iowa physicist, made the announcement at the Natural Law Party's convention, where he accepted the presidential nomination. The convention was attended by about 400 people, about half of whom were delegates.
Hagelin and his running mate, Silicon Valley entrepreneur Nat Goldhaber, assured the crowd that a general election victory was possible. They cited the Minnesota victory by former wrestler Jesse Ventura, and Hagelin said he had hired a former Ventura aide as his campaign manager.

Clinton visits Colombia to deliver $1.3 billion aid
The Associated Press
CARTAGENA, Colombia — President Clinton ended his visit to Colombia dancing and clapping his sweaty hands to the beat of folk music, but not before he urged other nations to assist the country in its battle against recession, drug-trafficking and a 36-year-old civil conflict.
Dancers holding candles and twirling brightly colored skirts entertained Clinton in a historic plaza, the last stop on his 12-hour visit Wednesday to the hot, humid Caribbean port city of Cartagena.
He returned to Washington in the predawn hours yesterday.
Clinton made the trip to symbolically deliver $1.3 billion in U.S. military and social assistance to President Andres Pastrana's plan to fight the drug trade, stimulate the economy and reform the judicial system.
Before nightfall, Clinton visited a freshly painted community justice center in a dusty, low-income neighborhood where he encouraged the international community to help finance Pastrana's $7.5 billion initiative. Colombia is spending $4 billion on the plan. The United Nations, international financial organizations, Norway, Japan and Spain are among other contributors. The European Union said it would lend support, but no amount has been decided.
declined.
"We can all implement the 'Plan Colombia' and those people who haven't contributed yet can give us a little more money," Clinton said at the center before wandering across the street to greet Colombians, who stood outside homes with peeling paint and shouted "Clin-TON! Clin-TON!"
At a news conference earlier in the day, Pastrana called Clinton a "steadfast friend." Still, he was careful to emphasize that the plan was developed by Colombians, for Colombians. The U.S. assistance, he said, recognizes that drug-trafficking is a global problem in need of a global response. Ninety percent of the cocaine in the U.S. market and two-thirds of the heroin on the East Coast come from Colombia.
Clinton said the U.S. assistance will help Colombian forces eradicate poppy and coca crops, destroy drug labs, block drug shipments and train government security forces on protecting human rights, a sticking point for some members of Congress and human rights organizations that think Colombia should correct human rights offenses before receiving the U.S. aid.
The president also answered those who believe America is being led into Colombia's ruthless insurgency between leftist guerillas and paramilitary groups, which led to 2,500 kidnappings last year and 35,000 deaths in the past decade.
"This assistance is for fighting drugs, not making war," Clinton said. "The civil conflict and the drug trade go hand-in-hand in cultivating misery for the people of Colombia."
The U.S. aid targets the drug problem, but Clinton stressed that the support included social and economic development assistance to help farmers grow legal crops and strengthens the judicial system in a nation the State Department says is one of the most violent in the world.
There were reminders of that label during Clinton's brief visit. Colombian police said they discovered and deactivated a 4.4-pound bomb five blocks from the poor neighborhood Clinton visited. A U.S. Secret Service official, speaking on condition of anonymity, insisted that only materials for explosives were found, not a bomb.

Drivers think 23rd Street is unsafe and congested, according to a recent telephone survey of Lawrence residents.
The residents also said that during the last five years, 23rd Street has become more dangerous and that it now takes longer to drive from one side of Lawrence to the other.
The random survey of 400 residents was conducted for the ongoing 23rd Street and Kansas Highway 10 Major Corridor and Access Management Study.
Access Management Office "Understanding what area residents think of 23rd Street will help us determine how the roadway from Noria Road west to Iowa Street can be improved over time to reduce accidents, relieve traffic congestion and improve the overall visual appeal of the corridor," said Aaron Bartlett, Lawrence transportation planner.
University of Kansas students agreed that 23rd Street is dangerous and busy.
it seems like the lights aren't syncronized," said Danica Fri, Salt Lake City, Utah, freshman. "During rush hour it gets backed up and takes forever."
Phil Gross, Chicago junior, said he avoided 23rd Street whenever possible. He said he had seen four accidents in the past two weeks.
"It's not fun because a lot of good businesses are on 23rd Street," he said. "The problem is K-10 dumping right into Lawrence, and that's a lot of traffic."
Respondents to the survey said their three top concerns were delays at traffic signals, traffic signal coordination and the number of vehicles stopped in line at traffic signals.
Residents also ranked issues of greatest importance for 23rd Street improvements. Driver safety was cited by 71 percent; improved traffic flow, 67 percent; access to business and retail stores, 33 percent; and bicycle and pedestrian mobility, 20 percent.
The complete 23rd Street and K-10 study will not be completed for eight or nine months.
The phone survey was conducted in late June by ETC Institute of Olathe and has a 95 percent level of confidence with a 5 percent margin of error.
Officials seek more funds

With substantial increases in research funding during the past several years, University officials are turning an eye toward improving The University of Kansas's rank among public research universities
In 1999, KU research funding from outside sources — such as grants and contracts — saw a 19 percent increase, its largest in a decade, according to a report on KU research efforts expected next week. Administrators said they hoped those funds would raise the University's rank on a list of science and engineering research universities and also attract enough attention from federal agencies to bring the University into the top 50 public universities in federal research funding.
While most Kansans support state funding for research, according to a survey released yesterday by Sen. Pat Roberts (R Kan.), most research funding doesn't come from state tax dollars. Funding at the Lawrence campus and the University of Kansas Medical Center totaled $168 million for the fiscal year 1999, with about $45 million coming from state funds and the University budget. Most of the increase came from grants and sponsorships, which totalled $123 million for the year.
Those numbers include a $19 million increase in grants and research contracts from the previous year, the largest increase in at least 10 years, said Jim Roberts, associate vice chancellor for research.
With those numbers, Roberts said he hoped the University would be recognized among 43 public universities that consi-
tently received the bulk of federal research funding for schools.
"Our goals now are really focused on where we want KU to be in terms of rankings," he said. "The reality is that we've got to get to number 43 if we want to get into that club."
Some have criticized the University's increased focus on research efforts, claiming it took emphasis away from education. More than 2,500 research projects are currently underway on campus and at the Med Center, according to the KU Center for Research.
Total funding has nearly doubled since 1995 when it stood at more than $82 million.
Totals for fiscal year 2000, which ended June 30, are expected next spring. Roberts said early budget projections indicated that funding continued to grow last year.
It's unclear where the University stands nationally because no comprehensive survey of research efforts is conducted, said Bob Collins, director of research information for the Center for Research. The National Science Foundation releases rankings annually based on research in science and engineering. The foundation's most recent data, which was for 1998, ranked KU 77th overall in the nation and 54th among public universities.
"That's not a real accurate reflection of what our research volume is," Collins said. The ranking does not take into account other top research areas such as art, history, law and education, he said.
KU reported $132 million in total science and engineering research funds for 1999 exceeding a goal set by the Board of Regents earlier this decade for $120 million by 2000.

TOPEKA — Is university research crucial to the state's economy? A majority of Kansans think so.
According to a recent telephone survey of 800 residents, 59 percent said it was very important, while 34 percent said it was somewhat important. At the same time, 96 percent said it was important for the state to continue backing science and engineering research at public universities.
Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) presented results of the research survey at a press conference yesterday morning at the Capitol. Chancellor Robert Hemenway; Jon Wefald, president of Kansas State University; and Donald Beggs, president of Wichita State University, also participated in the conference.
Roberts said the survey showed that Kansans agreed on the benefits of university research.
"That's the kind of thing that happens to impact individual lives," Hemenway
Hemenway illustrated those benefits in various ways. In one example, he mentioned how researchers from the Kansas Geological Survey assisted residents on the Kickapoo reservation, about 40 miles north of Topeka, in searching for additional water sources during a recent drought.
said.
He also talked about the influence that university research has had on the state economy, such as creating jobs.
Wefald pointed to the contributions that Kansas State researchers have made in agriculture.
"Kansas State is on the cutting edge, especially when it comes to wheat research," he said.

Roberts emphasized the importance of enhancing university research so Kansans would be in a better position to compete in the global marketplace.
Rex Buchanan, associate director for public outreach for the Kansas Geological Survey, also attended the conference. He commented on the influence
"We want to be competitive," he said. "We want to have the infrastructure to allow us to be competitive."
the survey might have on future funding.
"We'd hope that it would get the message, particularly to the state Legislature, of the value that the people in the state have for the value of the kind of research that we do," he said.
Research!America, a non-profit group in Alexandria, Va., commissioned the survey. Chariton Research Company of Walnut Creek, Calif., did the telephone poll for Research!America in 97 counties early in the summer.

Perspective
Support a realistic candidate
During the height of Bill Clinton's and Monica Lewinsky's media extravaganza, PRS's Charlie Press.
organa, PBS's Charlie Rose regularly featured political pundits in a round table discussion of the day's latest developments. One evening, Rose's featured guests were, on the right, the venerable magazine publisher William F. Buckley and, on the left, the enigmatic former governor of New York, Mario Cuomo. I'm not a fan of Buckley's, but I almost felt sorry for him as Cuomo methodically annihilated each of Buckley's anti-Clinton points with a cool sense of reason that was sorely lacking in these otherwise emotionally-charged times. In Cuomo, I saw a man who unapologetically supported the president. I saw a man who based his arguments more on logic than politics. I saw
a man who flaunted his blatantly liberal prejudices. In short, I saw a man for whom I would not hesitate to vote for as president of the United States.

President Gore. But the primaries brought a glimmer of hope for liberals everywhere in Bill Bradley. Again, here was a candidate who emerged from the left wing of the Democratic Party. He supported affirmative action without making "mend it; don't end it" allowances. He openly courted gay and lesbian supporters. He even discussed "universal health care for all," a phrase that those of us in-the-know recognize as a euphemism for "socialized medicine." But Bradley didn't last long. The caffeine in his soda made his heart flutter, which spooked voters. Furthermore, he came across as a thinker — a trait that immediately turns off the electorate, a trait that Gore is going to have to fight and one that should never haunt George W. Bush.
Bush and his running mate, Dick Cheney (whose voting record is ranked lower than Newt Gingrich's and Jesse Helms' by labor groups), actually made us liberals feel better. Next to the Republican ticket, Gore and running mate Joe Lieberman look like famed liberals Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank.
However, a funny thing happened between the Republican and the Democratic Conventions. Growing weary of the Reform Party fiasco, the media began giving coverage to Ralph Nader and the Green Party. Nader's anti-corporate stance strongly appeals to me, and I find that I am actually to his right on some issues (the legalization of hemp, for example). When he speaks of the Democrat and the Republican parties becoming mirror images of one another, I nod my head in agreement. When he contends that we need another alternative, I give him a fist-pumping "hell yes," but when he says that he is that alternative and that we should give him our vote in November, I think twice.
According to recent polls, Nader is supported by about five percent of American voters, a percentage that is not unimpressive, but it is well short of the 15 percent that is needed to get him into the debates in October. With less than five percent allowance for error, Nader's current standing also represents the likelihood that he will actually become the next president of the United States.
Here is the problem facing true liberals in November: Do we vote on the issues and cast one of the million or so votes that will support Ralph Nader, or do we compromise ourselves on the issues and give Gore one of his forty million votes and cast a vote that is as much anti-Bush as it is pro-Gore? Do we vote meaningfully, or do we throw one away in protest? Which vote qualifies as which?
Perhaps this year we should support the men who have a viable chance at victory, and we secretly hope that Mario Cuomo will mount a charge in 2008.

Lawrence leash law keeps sidewalks safe
Last summer Lawrence passed a leash law. Dogs must be leashed or owners pay $30. This wise ordinance also calls for a $10 fine when hound droppings go uncollected. But the leash law has side effects — good.
But the leash law has side effects — good and bad, that all students need to know.
Students will feel safer knowing that they can
walk on their campus without fear of marauding packs of unrestrained canines (you know, those dogs that supposedly become less vicious simply because their owners tie cute red bandanas around their necks).
Students who like to nap on a sunny lawn can flatten out with confidence, because the grassy areas on campus are likely to be free of mounds of canine excrement.
The law's biggest defect is that it doesn't require owners to be with their dogs. This defect

The new law might benefit pedestrians and property too. I predict that the leash law will reduce costly skate

However, a great challenge of government is to craft a policy without bad side effects that undermine the policy's purpose.

"Dogs don't sweat, and they don't have an efficient way to cool themselves down," he says. "If they are panting, it may be because they need oxygen because they've been exercising, or it may mean that they are trying to get rid of built-up heat in their bodies."
At this time of year, dogs also may be susceptible to heat exhaustion. Every dog is a potential victim of summer heat, says William Fortney, a veterinarian at Kansas State University's Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.
In high temperatures, dogs become unstable. But dogs aren't the only victims. Barks and yelps — which may signal a desire to bite or kill students — contribute to noise pollution. Ultimately, we are all at risk of being attacked by exhausted, angry, unattended hounds.
Dogs should be treated better at the University of Kansas. Unlike the fickle feline, canines are man's most loyal animal companions.
One exception to any leash law: Dogs should be allowed to exercise their God-given right to chase down and destroy cats.
We need an amendment that requires dogs to attended at all times. Without it, there will never be peace on the sidewalks and lawns of our city.

Students should cut water use
The University has done its part to conserve water; now it's students' turn.
As record heat continues to scorch Mount Oread, the University and students should seek to conserve water when possible. With new Lawrence records for usage of this precious resource set this week, it is pleasing to see restrictions on water consumption being implemented at the University. Students should follow this example.
To see the lawns on Daisy Hill being watered during high-noon, 100-degree heat was disappointing. Adding insult to injury, a large amount of water would land on the sidewalks rather than on yards. These are practices that would result in fines in areas where water usage is restricted by law.
Last Wednesday, the city of Lawrence's inhabitants consumed 24.6 million gallons in the stifling heat. No immediate relief is in sight. Although a true shortage is not occurring, the time for everyone to conserve water — the University included — has arrived.
Although it is important to maintain a healthy-looking campus, there comes a time when the importance of resource conservation outweighs that of preserving lush greenery. That time is now, and the University should be commended for reacquaint this.
Responding to a request by the city of Lawrence, Provost David Schulenberger has announced several measures intended to reduce water usage on campus. These include shutting down water to fountains and discontinuing the watering of lawns where possible, from the Campanile to Daisy Hill. Understandably, watering some areas of campus, such as athletic fields, must proceed. The steps being taken, however, are the right ones.
Students can also contribute to the water-saving effort. Although everyone should drink plenty of water during this heat, consider shutting off the tap while brushing your teeth or shaving. Make every load of laundry a full one. For the duration of this heat wave, it is vitally important for students and the University alike to conserve water when possible.

Native Americans urged to study speech
By Jason Krahl
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A grant to the Speech-Language-Hearing Department will encourage Native-American students to pursue careers as speech pathologists for Native-American children.
Researchers have found that Native-American children with speech problems respond best to instruction from a Native-American pathologist who understands the specific cultural issues tied to their speech-language impairment, but few Native Americans work in the field.
To encourage more Native-
Americans to pursue speech
pathology, the U.S. Department of Education has granted $759,348 to Project CIRCLE, which has provided aid to Native-American students interested in speech-language pathology at the University of Kansas for the last decade.
Studies show that language impairment is more common in Native Americans than in Asians, Blacks, Hispanics or Whites, according to the Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic at the University's Schiefelbusch Institute for Lifespan Studies. But only about one half of one percent of speech-language pathologists are Native-American, numbering fewer than 500 in the entire nation.
"It helps if someone is familiar
with Native-American communication styles," said Lisa Cuny, coordinator of Project CIRCLE and a member of the Oglala-Lakota Sioux Tribe. "In the mainstream culture we tend to be more open and outgoing, while in Native-American culture it's a little more acceptable to be more quiet and observant.
A Native-American pathologist also is better equipped to explain a child's treatment to Native-American parents, said Sandy Banks, audiologist and mentoring coordinator with Project CIRCLE.
"They may have reservations about it when there are non-Native-American pathologists giving their children speech instruction," Banks said. "It's also important
that the children can see that they're being served by people who look like they look and sound like they sound."
The grant will allow 12 students to participate in the three-year CIRCLE program. The first two years are dedicated to completing the master's degree in speech-language pathology, with additional support for the first year of work with students.
The grant will provide students with a monthly stipend, tuition, books and a laptop computer while in the program. In addition to specialized seminars on learning styles and the speech disorders specific to Native Americans.

and irritated membranes, as well as occasional coughing that he compared to a smoker's cough.
"It wasn't that bad. It was pretty minimal," Duet said. "Most of the time students don't have to come in here unless they have to cut big pieces of wood or something for a class. Basically, the students really have to wear masks in here."
Mike Russell, director of the University's Environment, Health and Safety office, said he attempted to test the wood-dust levels in the shop in the spring but there was not a representative number of people using the facility. He said they planned to conduct another test when the shop is being used at capacity.
The exhaust system in place for collecting and proper removal of wood dust is not to the design level I would like to see it," Russell said. "But we don't have the exact data to tell us if it's a major problem."
The University's Design and Construction Management office developed a proposal in September of 1999 to install a central dust collection system, a new welding hood and exhaust fan, and a system that would replace the exhaust removed with fresh air. The estimate for the project was between $70,000 and $80,000.
John Gaunt, dean of architecture, said the plan proposed a state-of-the-art mechanical workshop, but that

not all of the components had to be included.
"What makes sense to us is to meet the basic requirements and respond to testing done in the future if it tells us we need to do more, and we don't know what further work we have to do based on that state testing." Gaunt said. "We're pretty much up to date with what had to be done."
Umholtz said he began complaining about the shop's air quality two years ago.
"Limiting the people in there can lower the fumes, but they're still there and still harming people," he said. "It's a big risk on students' health. Why take the risk?"

Fakin' it
Study finds KU women less-than-truthful about orgasms
By Katie Hollar
By Kate Holland
writer@kansan.com
Kansan senior staff writer
O arrow solid
Oh. yes.
You're the king — or maybe you're not. More than two-thirds of KU women have faked an orgasm, says Tamara Bryan, Topeka graduate student in clinical psychology.
Last semester, Bryan interviewed 366 female students to learn how, why and when women pretended to climax. All participants were between 18 and 26 years old, and women of all sexual orientations were included.
Bryan said the women surveyed had bluffed an orgasm in three waves by physical, verbal and "other" means.
In When Harry Met Sally, Meg Ryan's ham sandwich-eating character epitomizes physical faking: the actual pantomiming of a climax. In verbal pretending, the woman tells her partner she had an orgasm when she didn't. Another type of acting happens when a woman lets her partner assume she climaxed.
Fake orgasms range in timing, Bryan said. Some women start the show before their partner's orgasm, some at the same time and some after.
And the reasons behind the deceitful act vary.
"Different women pretend for different reasons," Bryan said. "The most common reason is a partner's feelings. Women want to please their partners."
According to drkoop.com's Medical Encyclopedia, between 10 and 15 percent of women have never experienced an orgasm. Surveys suggest that between 33 and 50 percent of women experience orgasms infrequently.
That said, it's much more difficult for a woman to achieve orgasm than it is for a man.
stimulate a woman as pleasurable in rebus. One part of Bryan's survey asked women about their tendency to orgasm during four different sexual activities: petting, oral sex, intercourse without additional clitoral stimulation and intercourse with clitoral stimulation. The respondents said they were least likely to climax during intercourse without stimulation.
"Traditional" sex — penile penetration of the vagina — doesn't estimate a woman as pleasurable as it does a man. Bryan said.
that was also the activity when most of them admitted faking an orgasm.
"The fact that they are having orgams the least and pretending the most with that behavior is related," Bryan said. "It is just the cultural ideal that penile penetration is just the normal way to have sex."
The female orgasm is part of that ideal, she said.
The refugee of gasm is peril for our children. "There's a lot of pressure in our culture for women to have an orgasm and to communicate that," she said. "It seems to communicate something about their partner and their own abilities."
cate something like organs are no way to achieve sexual fulfillment,
if the worst ororgans are no way to achieve sexual fulfillment,
she said. In fact, the act works against it.
Sometimes women fake orgasms when sex is painful — as a way to signal their partner to stop, Bryan said. But the partner will assume that because the woman climaxed, she was enjoying herself.
"Her partner may repeat the thinking it's giving her pleasure." Bryan said. "In the long run, that may not be helpful to her."
And more often than not, the partner won't know the orgasm is pretend, said Jenny Schierbaum, former host of the now-defunct Simply Sex question-and-answer show on KJHK.
"Some women scream, some women moan," she said. "I think it's hard to tell. It depends on the actress."
Female orgasms are elusive but not impossible, said Schierbaum, a Chariton, Iowa, senior.
"I don't think most women know how to do it," she said. "It doesn't come naturally. It takes effort."
The best way to learn, she said, is for a woman to take some time alone to explore her body.
alone to explore her body.
"A woman can't tell a guy how to get her to orgasm if she can't tell him herself," she said. "The way to get to know is self-exploration. If you tell a girl what you like, they're going to help you do it."
Such honesty is key,塞尔曼说." Communication is number one," she said. "Knowing the person you're with and being comfortable with them. Intimacy is what is going to make you orgasm."
Such honesty is key, Schierbaum said.
Such honesty is key, Schierbaum said.
Following her own advice, Schierbaum said she's never had to fake an oream.
"I've made it sound better than it was," she said. "But I never totally faked it."

'Hawks hope for rare road conquest

The temperature. The location. The pressure. The heat is on for Kansas.
You don't say? Triple-digit temperatures have altered practice schedules for the Jawhawks all week.
That breeze you felt Tuesday night? Perhaps that was Allen and Co. exhaling a collective sigh of relief upon Smith's revival.
Often the heat led to fatigue, which led to illness. The Jayhawks reached double digits in the number of players who suffered from dehydration or flu-like symptoms, including starting senior quarterback Dylan Smith. Smith left two consecutive practices early before returning for good.
And now that the Jayhawks are slightly healthier because a few night practices this week allowed everyone to keep a little cooler, Kansas will go to Southern Methodist tomorrow to open its season and try not to get scorched on the road again.
TOMORROW'S GAME
But this is not a typical road game. Kansas must go to Dallas, where the Mustangs will open a brand-new, on-campus stadium. Instead of playing at the ancient Cotton Bowl, where the stadium would possibly be half-full, the new Gerald J. Ford Stadium is a 32,000-seat home that is sure to be raucous for its inauguration.
What: Kansas at Southern Methodist
Where: Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas
When: 6 p.m.
Television: None
Radio: KLWN, 1320 am
Yes, the heat is on.
"There will be a lot of hoopla in conjunction with the opening of their new stadium on campus," Allen said. "We have talked about the significance of this game for many reasons since spring practice, as far as opening the season the way we want to, but we have not gotten into the idea of spoiling their party."
into the rear of spanning a road. Aside from Firestone tires, nothing besides the Jayhawks has received more bad press for on-road performance. Kansas is 1-14 on the road under Allen.
Allen has recognized this road opener as a must-win for the Jayhawks if they are to have any realistic chance at playing during the holidays. Since the first
day of practice, Allen has signified SMU as a "red-letter" game—a contest Kansas must be prepared for and not take lightly.
The heat index has not helped. Players have been sidelined, receiving more IV units than the combined episodes of M*A*$^S H$. Practices have been moved to nighttime, when there's less fear of the harmful heat.
The strict agenda the Jayhawks usually follow has had to be curtailed this week for players' safety.
Even with all the setbacks the heat has had to offer, Allen has coaxed Kansas to stay focused and not lose sight of how important tomorrow is. While the players

The Horejsi Family Athletic Center was home to a two-day sweat extravaganza this week.
Technically, the display was mid-week volleyball practice, but when coach Ray Bechard shut off the air conditioning Tuesday, the three-hour workout turned
into a three-hour sauna session.
"The gym we're playing at this weekend at Purdue doesn't have air conditioning," Bechard said. "We've been comfortable in air conditioning for the past three weeks, and so we're just
Senior Sara Kidd agreed that playing a Big 10 team definitely had its advantages.
"One of the things we talked about in a meeting before the season was how our non-conference play hurt us," she said. "It's hard because a lot of people don't understand how strong the Big 12 conference really is."
When facing those teams, Bechard said he hoped to test out his team and strategies, both of which have had a makeover

Kansas finds itself in close quarters with the three teams it'll face this weekend — Western Michigan, Eastern Kentucky and Purdue — at the Purdue Mortar Board Premier in West Lafayette, Ind. While Kansas has never faced Eastern Kentucky, the Hawks lead the all-time series with Western Michigan 2-1 but trail Purdue 0-2. "We wanted to strengthen our schedule
trying to make things game-like."
**Teams:** Western Michigan, Eastern Kentucky,
Purdue and Kansas.
"We wanted to strengthen our schedule and go out and play a Big 10 team," Bechard said of Purdue. "Therefore, we're taking on a more aggressive preseason than any other year before."
But it won't be just the gym this week end that'll make the Javahwks sweat.
since losing alltime top offensive players Amanda Reves and Mary Beth Albrecht to graduation in May.
"Losing your top two in any sport hurts," Bechard said. "I don't think Roy
(Williams) would want to lose his top two scorers in one year. And it's difficult when you lose your skill-position players."
Bechard said he was looking at his underclassmen to make strides and help fill in the gaps, both in non-conference and conference play.
"We lost experience, but we think we recruited talented players," Bechard said. "They'll play and turn that into experience. The young players have to experience this conference before you can expect them to survive it."
And for the players' sake, let's hope the Big 12 gyms are air-conditioned.
Collison living out his dream in Hawaii

Tomorrow at 5:30 p.m., Collison and a team of 11 other collegiate players will take on the Senior Men's National Team — a.k.a. the Dream Team — a group of twelve NBA all-stars.
Nick Collison versus the Dream Team in Hawaii? Sounds like a match-up for must-see TV.
Collison, a 6-foot-9 sophomore forward, and the rest of the college players practiced against the Dream Team for the past week, helping the professionals prepare for the Olympics in two weeks. The competition will be tough — Collison will be matched tomorrow against such NBA stars as Kevin Garnett and Antonio

what basketball observers would expect.
"We're playing all right," Collison said. "But we'll think we're holding our own, then we look up in at the scoreboard and that's not the case."
Collison said the reasons for the lashings in the scrimmages were because of two reasons: the professionals' ability to run and their mental games.
"The thing that they are so much better at is when they get out and run." Collison said. "It's been a great experience so far. Plus the way they play is so smart."
So what can fans on the mainland expect tomorrow? Another drubbing by the professionals?
"Probably," Collison said. "The key will just be getting back (on defense)."
Win or lose, Collison said the experience would only help him for the upcoming season.
Kansas coach Roy Williams agreed.
"A week of playing against this caliber of competition can only benefit me," Collison said.
"It's fantastic," he said. "It will help because the level of play is the best there is."
The game will be played with international rules and can be seen on NBC, cable channels 8 and 14.
Williams, in fact, said he had only one regret about Collison's trip to the islands.
"If I didn't have so many things to do around here, I'd go with him." Williams said. "I'd watch him practice for three hours per day, and it would be a great life."

Stadium tour is like heaven with pinstripes
I found the coolest place on the face of the Earth on Monday.
It wasn't Louise's West. It wasn't the Taj Mahal. It wasn't even the Playboy Mansion. On Monday, for the first time in my life, I set foot in Yankee Stadium.
And it wasn't just any old visit to any old stadium. The Yankees have been my favorite team since I was about five years old. My dad's hero as a kid was Mickey Mantle, the great Yankee center fielder, so the pinstriped passion runs in the family. As a youngster (and still today), I have an idol in Don Mattingly, the former Yankee first baseman. This was a visit to the promised land; Yankee Stadium is my Mecca.
Problem was, on this trip to the Big Apple, the Bronx Bombers were bombing somewhere else. Seattle, to be exact. That's a long way from the House That Ruth Built. My hopes of catching a whiff of the Kentucky bluegrass infield were temporarily dashed.
On a trip to the Yankees Web site, however, it was posted that the fine Yankee organization offered stadium tours. This was my ticket to paradise. It would be a dream come true.
Just an unassuming big white wall coming up on the left, but I know what it was. This was it.
And then, as the subway train moved above ground, I saw it.
On the subway to the Bronx, all I could think about is what it would be like to be a part of the Yankee mystique. Work in the Yankees organization. Be a part of the most successful sports organization in the world. It could be George Costanza's job from Seinfeld, for all I care. To be a part of the Yankees would be amazing. My thoughts were a whirlwind of dreams and the 25 world championships the Yankees owned.
The train approached the stop just south of the stadium, and I caught a glimpse of the grassy outfield inside through the cutout wall in right field. My stomach tightened.
My friend and I got off the train and we walked around toward the front gate to buy tour tickets. Eight dollars each? Merely pennies compared to what this was going to be like. I handed over the money like I was a kid buying ice cream.
We were promptly led inside the stadium through the press entrance, where I caught another glimpse of the field. The knot in my stomach tightened.
"Look, out there in right field," I announced. "That's where Babe Rush played! And there, in center field, that's where Mickey Mantle played! And first base! That's where Don Mattingly played!" My friend, not a big baseball fan, was unimpressed. I was in hog heaven.
We were led up to the press box and a full view of the field. Words cannot describe the feeling I had seeing this vast expanse of green grass and blue seats for the first time. It was amazing
It got better. From the press box, the tour group made its way down to the Yankees' clubhouse, where the guide pointed out each bigname player's locker. I saw a bucket of used baseballs, slyly grabbed one and stuffed it in my pocket. I'll give that to my grandchildren someday.
Then the coup de grace. The tour group was led into the Yankee dugout. I sat there on the bench and, blocking out the tour guide's rambling about the ventilation system, I thought about all the great baseball players that had sat in that very spot.
Then it was on to Monument Park, the area behind the left-center field fence where Yankees players' numbers are retired. Plaques are hung for the great Yankees, and for a select five — Ruth, Mantle, Miller Huggins, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio — there were monuments erected in their honor.
I frantically looked for a memento I could come away from the dugout with. There was nothing. Finally, I spotted an uneaten sunflower seed on the ledge behind my seat and snatched it up. That, too, will get passed on to my grandkids.
Sounds silly, doesn't it? Looking back, keeping a sunflower seed does it to me, too. But common sense notwithstanding, that heavenly place threw logic out the window.
。
have you ever had an experience that you just knew right when it happened that you would never, ever forget? Presumably, my wedding day and the birth of my children will be the climactic moments in my life.
But on the subway back to Manhattan that day, I knew my visit to Yankee Stadium would rank right up there.

Former Kansas player on Garden City team
A former Kansas football player dismissed from the team for academic reasons and declined a chance to return amid an alleged assault has made the football team at Garden City Community College as the Garden City coaches finalized their 55-man roster yesterday morning.
The player also has been linked to an alleged February assault outside the Yacht Club, 530 Wisconsin St., with a former teammate against a Kansas soccer player. The other player cited remains on the Kansas roster.

"Being in the United States, it's part of our Constitution that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty," Garden City assistant coach John Rossetti said.
Notes: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
The player is expected to be an integral part of the Garden City team, which is ranked No. 9 nationally and opens Saturday against Fort Scott. Only 12 out-of-state players are allowed on each junior college team.
The Garden City coaches were aware of the alleged assault and discussed the case in detail with the player before allowing him a roster spot.

"We do believe in his side of the story, what he's telling us," Rossetti said.
While the soccer player has previously said she would file charges and testify in court, nothing has been completed yet. If the player is charged, he will automatically be under suspension by Garden City school policy.
After apologizing repeatedly for the incident and how it was handled by the athletic department, Kansas football coach Terry Allen announced Aug. 10 he would not allow the player to apply for reinstatement to the school after the academic probation period was complete.
Upon Allen's decision, the player
"I think we've been very impressed with him as a kid," Rossetti said. "As far as character, you can usually tell a lot about a kid by his work ethic. His GPA was not high enough for (Kansas), but he fit in here. With the special help we can give him at a small community college, kids can flourish in this environment."

Judge rules wrestler deserves Olympic spot
DENVER — A dispute between two wrestlers bidding to represent the United States at the Olympics has taken a plot twist along the lines ofWCW meets Mike Tyson.
Matt Lindland was placed on the Greco-Roman team for Sydney yesterday after the International Olympic Committee said he could be substituted for rival Keith Sieracki as ordered by a federal judge.
While awaiting a ruling from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Sieracki said a videotape recorded by USA Wrestling shows Lindland biting Sieracki's ear during their qualifying match at the Olympic trials two months ago in Dallas.
Sieracki won the match 2-1 on a referee's decision. USA Wrestling committees upheld that decision, but an arbitrator ordered a rematch after Lindland claimed he was illegally tripped. Lindland won the rematch 8-0.
Lindland, an assistant coach at Nebraska until April, did not deny biting Sieracki's ear and said he wanted the videotape to be presented during arbitration.
The U.S. Olympic Committee reviewed the conflicting cases and submitted Sieracki's name as part of the Olympic team Sunday to comply with IOC deadlines. It asked the IOC Tuesday that Lindland be named as a replacement to comply with a judge's ruling in Chicago.
The USOC, meanwhile, has appealed Zagel's decision.

Devil Rays slide by Royals in another pitchers' duel
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Devil Rays may have found another starter.
"I'm feeling very strong," said Wilson, who had his longest outing in the majors since Sept. 20, 1996. "Health is priority No. 1 in their eyes and my eyes. They want to make sure I finish this year healthy."
The oft-injured Paul Wilson worked seven strong innings and Bobby Smith doubled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, helping the Devil Rays beat the Kansas City Royals 2-1 last night.
Wilson, who missed all of last season after undergoing elbow surgery, allowed one run and five hits in his second start of the season. The right-hander, acquired in a four-player deal with the New York Mets on July 29, also missed parts of the 1997 and 98 seasons because of shoulder surgery.
"He's at a point in his career where he knows it's time to put it together physically," Tampa Bay manager Larry Rothschild said. "We just need to keep him healthy."
Steve Cox, who went 3 for 3,
opened the eighth with a walk
from Jeff Suppan (7-8). Pinch-runner Jason Tyner stole second
with one out and went to third on
Fred McGriff's grounder. Smith,
mired in a 1 for 27 slump, doubled
to center field.
"I think he just made a mistake to Smith." Kansas City manager Tony Muser said. "Got it up and out over the plate."
Tony Flore (1-0) worked a scoreless eighth to get his first major league win. Roberto Hernandez got the final three outs for his 28th save in 34 opportunities.
Fiore, who made his big-league debut last Sunday, is in his ninth professional season and has made 927 minor-league appearances.
Suppan gave up two runs and seven hits in 7-2 3-1innings. It was just his second loss in seven decisions since the All-Star break.
he's been great since the AllStar break," Kansas City's Johnny Damon said. "Unfortunately, some nights the offense has to sleep. We didn't show up tonight."
"It is very frustrating." Royals catcher Hector Ortiz said. "We were trying to do everything we

can to score runs for him, and we
couldn't do it. He worked as hard
as he could to keep us in the game,
but we didn't perform good."
Todd Dunwoody's sacrifice fly in the second inning gave the Royals a 1-1 lead. The Devil Rays tied it in the sixth when Smith hit into a double play with the bases loaded.
The game took 2 hours, 30 minutes. Tampa Bay has played seven straight games in under three hours.
"Good baseball games can be very boring," Muser said. "It was a very good baseball game. You've got to give credit to both clubs. They played well. No brawls. Country hardball."
Notes:
Damon was the designated hitter, which allowed Dunwoody to start in center. "I've been trying to get Dunwoody in the lineup," Muser said. "We're going to take a look at a lot of people."
Damon has a hit in 24 of 25 games.

Bowler seeks perfect game

A perfect 300 game is the pinch
nacle of the bowling world.
Kansas women's bowling team member Barri Forkos, Hanover Park, Ill., senior, barely missed it when she bowled a 288 last December. Not a bad score.
"I have a goal of bowling a perfect game this year," she said.
But Forkos, who has bowled since she was eight years old, still isn't satisfied.
As the only returning senior on this year's team, Forkos provides veteran qualities many of the younger players appreciate.
"Barri is definitely committed to the team," said Kristina Boehm, Olathe sophomore and bowling team member. "After her schoolwork, it is her first priority."
Despite team setbacks in previous seasons, Kansas coach Mike Fine said Forkos has been an unconditional team leader.
"Barri has kept a good, positive attitude on our competitive teams as well as teams that haven't been as competitive," he said.
Forkos has goals for her team in what will be her last competitive season — she does not plan to bowl professionally.
"We would like to be consistently competitive at the national tournaments," she
said. "We would also like to qualify for the nationals in Grand Rapids, Mich."
The team is preparing for the Mid-States Bowling Championships in Topeka Saturday, Oct. 21 and Sunday, Oct. 22, where the Jayhawks will compete against traditional rivals Central Missouri State, Nebraska and Wichita State.
Although she has excelled at bowling, many of Forkos' accomplishments have taken place outside of the Jaybowl.
"I was a resident assistant in GSP-Corbin for two years," she said. "I had a lot of fun working with people that I wouldn't have met otherwise."
Forkos finished 11th when she represented Kansas at the national competition in
Wichita last year.
She also had the opportunity to study abroad in Barcelona last summer, where she gained a greater appreciation for Spanish and found a connection to home.
"We bowled at a place in Spain near the Mediterranean Sea," she said.

Kansas preparing for St. Louis
By Yoshitaka Ebisawa
Kansan sportswirter
For many students, this Labor Day weekend is going to be entertaining or relaxing. But for the Kansas women's soccer team, it is going to be challenging.
After splitting its first two games this season, Kansas will face the St. Louis Billikens for the first time at 5 p.m. today in St. Louis. On Monday, the 'Hawks will meet Creighton in Omaha, Neb.'
Kansas suffered a 4-0 loss to Illinois last Sunday in Champaign, Ill.
Coach Mark Francis said he thought some players looked tired, and that it was hard to imagine that they were the same players that dominated Northwestern two days earlier in Evanston, Ill.
"The disappointing thing was that how badly we played in Sunday's game," he said. "I think we need to be a little bit sharper."
The players are also determined to bounce back from the defeat.
"We just had breakdowns all over the field, and I don't think we were getting enough pressure on the ball, so it created a lot of problems."
Emma Di Cesare
"We just had breakdowns all over the field, and I don't think we were getting enough pressure on the ball, so it created a lot of problems," said Emma Di Cesare, senior defender and the team's co-captain. "I expect we're going to out really hard. If we have breakdowns anywhere, we're going to be able to turn it around and pick it up again."

champion team, the Billikens crushed Drury 6-0 on Aug. 25 and defeated Creighton 2-0 Sunday.
With 10 shutouts last year, the Billikens' defense is one of the team's strongest aspects. St. Louis' defense was ranked ninth in the country last year.
This year, with last week's Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week goalie Meghann Burke between the posts, St. Louis' defense has allowed only 10 goal attempts in two games.
Kansas' second weekend foe, the Creighton Bluejays (0-2), finished seventh in the Midwest Valley Conference with a 7-13-1 record last year. The Bluejays have dangerous attackers, with four of last year's top six scorers returning.

The label's general manager, Gilberto Moreno, told the Spanish-language newspaper La Opinion that artists associated with Sony Music's labels and Miami-based producer Emilio Estefan are being favored over Mexican regional stars.
LOS ANGELES — Independent music label Fonovisa has criticized the new Latin Grammy Awards, alleging a bias against Mexican regional artists.
A telephone message left by the Associated Press with the Latin Grammys before business hours yesterday morning was not immediately returned.
"This is a party between Emilio Estefan and Sony," Moreno told the newspaper in Tuesday's editions. The Latin Grammys, he said "definitely don't represent Latin artists at all."
The Van Nuys-based Fonovisa label has urged its artists to avoid the inaugural Latin Grammys ceremony because of the perceived snub by the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, which produces the awards show.
Only five Fonovisa artists have been nominated among the estimated 200 nominees in 40 categories. There are no Mexican regional acts nominated in the major categories, including album, record and song of the year.
Label chastises Latin Grammys for disregarding Mexican artists
The Associated Press
Fonovisa representatives also are upset because the ceremony, which will be televised Wednesday, Sept. 13 from Los Angeles, has no Mexican regional artists scheduled to perform.
DOUBLE, IF THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THE WORLD TOLD YOU TO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE, WOULD YOU DO IT!
OF COURSE NO!
Mexican regional sales make up about 60 percent of the U.S. Latin music market.
The Latin academy was formed as a companion to the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, the organization that stages the annual Grammy Awards.
WHY? 'CAUSE THIS TECH SUPPORT GUY TOLD ME TO.
THEN ILL HAVE TO THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE.

'Hawks hoping to beat the heat
Continued from page 1B
have rested for spurts at practice to chug any drink they could find, Allen has kept his glass half-full on the heat dilemma.
"The weather has contributed to a lot of guys missing practice over the course of the past few weeks," Allen said. "Having had to practice in the 100-plus temperatures will benefit us in the long run, though."
the temperature in Dallas tomorrow is expected to hover near the century mark. The 6 p.m. kickoff should help some, but it should not matter to 32 Jayhawks who hall from Texas (21 will suit up), including five from Dallas. From Austin (sophomore tight end David Hurst), to Waco (freshman quarterback Mario Kinsey), this is a home game for these guys.
The rest of the Jayhawks may need the Texas natives to help them feel at home. Home is where the Jayhawkes have played their best and where Allen would prefer to open his fourth year at Kansas. The players insist that there is no mental roadblock because of its past ineptitude on the road, but maybe the Texans can help.
Kansas' football team cannot bring most of its fans to Dallas for Saturday's season opener. Nor can the Jayhawks lug their lockers, or their beds, to Southern Methodist to make themselves at home.
And because the opposition doesn't make a habit of welcoming its visitors with open arms, Kansas cannot hear its song, AC/DC's "Hell's Bells," which
blares through the speakers as the team storms onto Memorial Stadium for home contests.
"Playing on the road is tough, man," said running back Moran Norris, a Texas native. "Nothing is the same as it is at home."
So this trip to Dallas is not just about the game. It is a psychological battle staged within each Kansas player, who will have to convince himself that playing in front of what Terry Allen refers to as a "hostile environment"—the road crowd — is the same as playing a game with the Campanile in the background. The burning question is whether the Jayhawks can withstand the heat on the road.
"If in the history of sport we had the answer to (why road games are tougher)," Allen said, "we'd all be rich people."
10 this point with Allen as coach, Kansas has accepted the script of losing to better teams on the road. But there have also been disasters at Iowa State and Missouri — two conference foes the Jayhawks should match up well against considering league ranks and records. At home, it's been just the opposite. Kansas has beaten Iowa State and Missouri, and has been incredibly competitive against teams like Nebraska in a close 24-17 loss last season.
The opener at SMU poses an interesting problem. A simple glance at both teams shows that the Jayhawks should win easily. After all, they won last year's match-up at Memorial Stadium without a problem, 27-9. And Kansas responded better in that game than it does typically on the road. At one point, Kansas trailed 9-0. But Kansas has broken down in previous road games, and Allen would rather not have his players reading articles detailing past failures.
So as the Jayhawks try to regain full health by tomorrow, they face searing heat, a road crowd, and the pressure that if they do not win this road game, it may be a while before there is another chance. Their next three opponents are Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska.
"We have to get this one for our confidence and so we can start this season off better," defensive lineman Nate Dwyer said.
Last season, Kansas lost its first two road games to Notre Dame and Colorado before a humiliating home loss.
In Texas, they remember the Alamato. At Kansas, the Jayhawks remember last year's San Diego State 41-13 victory at Memorial Stadium.
The heat is on. The heat is most definitely on.
Smith left practice approximately 40 minutes early yesterday, walking off with a trainer after suffering more flu-like symptoms.
"Dylen is still going to play, he's fine," said Allen. "He's just having a little more effect of the flu symptoms. He should be fine."

SMU optimistic for home opener
Bv Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Southern Methodist University football team is determined to have a successful inaugural game in its new stadium Gerald J. Ford Stadium, named after a successful banker who contributed heavily to the cost of building the stadium.
The 32,000-seat stadium is expected to be full or nearly full of screaming Mustang fans who are expecting to win the first game in the facility.
the help wren opener Mustangs coach Mike Cavan said he would like to keep the Jayhawks from running where they please in the season opener.
The Kansas football team, who invited guests to the inaugural game, intend to ruin the Mustangs' Ford Stadium housewarming party. The Jayhawks intend to turn the housewarming into an open house — go wherever they want to, as in up and down the field with repeated visits to the end zone.
"Obviously, we want to get off to a good start," Cavan said. The Mustangs were 4-6 last season, but Cavan said he was optimistic about this season. SMU returns eight starters on offense and seven on defense.
It's no secret that the Jayhawks have only one starter returning on the defensive line, so SMU plans to challenge the Kansas run
Cavan said he had confidence in his offensive line, which returns four starters. In addition to giving the quarterback time to pass, the Mustangs' offensive line is expected to open holes for the running backs to exploit.
defense. The Mustangs are expected to use a one-back offense with last year's leading rusher, sophomore Kris Briggs, who averaged 5.1 yards per carry and got most of the carries last season. The Mustangs can be expected to try to establish their running game behind their experienced offensive line and then try to beat the Jayhawks defensive backs with deep play-action passes.
SMU's starting quarterback, junior Josh McCown, said he had faith in his wide receivers.
Our receivers can really stretch the field." McCown said.
The Mustang defense might have some problems with the Jayhawks balanced offense. The Dallas Morning News called the Mustangs' defensive line "questionable." Even though the Jayhawks have some new starters on the offensive line, they do have a size advantage compared to the SMU defensive line. Experienced running backs such as David Winbush and Norris don't need huge holes to get through, so the Jayhawks should be successful running the ball against the Mustangs 4-3 defense.
The Mustangs' pass defense might also be suspect. Referring to the defensive backs, The Dallas Morning News said, "This is the biggest area of concern."
Freshman Leroy Price will start at free safety. The other three starters are 5-foot9, 5-9 and 5-10, and the Jayhawks taller receivers may be able to exploit their size advantage.

University falls in rankings
WWW.KANSAN.COM
Scholastic gains remain priority for institution
By Jennifer Valadez
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas was ranked 42nd nationally on U.S. News and World Report magazine's 2001 list of the top 147 institutions.
Although it tied with Auburn University, the University's latest placement fell from its previous ranking of 38th. That follows a drop from 30th to 38th the year before.
Kansas was not listed among the top 50 best value public and private universities after ranking as high as 11th four years ago.
"We don't know the data, but it's clear that the
University's academic reputation is the same as last year," said Chancellor Robert Hemenway. "If it follows form, where KU's rankings have been affected is in its financial support."
Hemenway added that the University's descent in rank was unrelated to the financial support of faculty, as it has been in previous years.
The seven factors the magazine used to calculate institutional rankings were academic reputation, student retention, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, graduation rate and alumni giving rate.
Also receiving national recognition were the undergraduate programs of the schools of engineering and business. The School of Business program finished in a nine-way tie for 41st place, higher than last year's 45th place. The graduate School of Pharmacy placed 21st overall.
"We are continuously making improvements in the quality of education for our students and are certainly pleased that the report recognizes the excellence of our programs," said Keith
Chauvin, associate dean of business.
Chauvin also attributed the school's ranking to its success in broadening opportunities for students to have international experiences as part of their business educations.
The undergraduate program in the School of Engineering was ranked 67th among private and public institutions that offer a Ph.D program. It was ranked 74th the year before. The school finished in a six-way tie this year.
Lynn Bretz, associate director of University Relations, said that although a combination of factors contributed to the magazine's ranking of the University, the University's academic rating had remained stable.
"The faculty has been doing more to make themselves visible," said Carl Locke, dean of engineering. "It's obvious that the perception of the school went up."
"Academics is where it always has been, and that's good," Bretz said. "We do want to be a top 25 university, and we will get there."

KU server to include more perks
By Jason Krall writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A new file server will offer students e-mail with perks — for a small price.
By the end of the year, Academic Computing Services hopes to have half of the student body switched from their "falcon," "raven" and "eagle" email servers to a new system with more features. Software for the program will cost students $5.
ACS has already set up new students this fall on a Microsoft Exchange server. The server, accessed through the Microsoft Outlook program, includes a calendar and address book. It also has the ability to access class message boards and file-sharing folders set up by professors, through which students will be able to turn in homework or download handouts. Eventually, all student e-mail accounts will be transferred to the new system.
The program is available on disk for $5 through the KU Computer Center and Networking and Telecommunications Services. The software is free to students, but the fee covers distribution costs, said Cathy Smith, director of Academic Computing Services.
The message-board system, called "groupware," allows students an opportunity to discuss assignments and compare notes. Professors also will be able to direct discussions on groupware, Smith said.
"The instructor can put out a question for class discussion, and students can reply," she said. "Through the sharing folders, they can put out documents for students to pick up, and they can have students turn in homework to those folders. It's very dynamic."
The transition meets a goal set by Chancellor Robert Hemenway in 1998 stating that online services for students needed to be expanded to include more features than just e-mail. The server was first brought up last spring and also offers free Web hosting to students.
"A lot of people use the calendar as a daily planner," said Natalie Nguyen, Lenexa freshman. Nguyen used Outlook in her job with an insurance company this summer. She said the program was well organized, and she often used it to leave messages with co-workers.

'Smart' fire alarms still uncommon in KU buildings
By Rob Pazell

Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students and faculty shouldn't assume that a fire alarm will call in the cavalry.
An alarm that rang for 20 minutes Aug. 25 at Bailey Hall could have been silenced sooner if someone had called it in, the KU Public Safety Office said.
John Mullens, assistant director of public safety, said Bailey Hall was one of many campus buildings that weren't

"A similar situation occurred last year. No one responded because no one was aware."

Mullens, who runs the security and emergency planning unit, said that 180 campus buildings had fire alarms that didn't ring through to the public safety
office but that the University was working to upgrade the fire system. Alarms in 33 buildings ring directly to the public safety office, with 15 of those on the new "smart" fire alarm system.

Heat hurts performance in classroom
By Karen Lucas
The recent heat wave has left its mark in classrooms.
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Justin Lippier, Dallas sophomore, said it was uncomfortable to sit in 3140 Wescoe Hall, where he has a philosophy class.
"With so many kids in the big lecture hall, you can't even pay attention because it's so hot," he said. "It's hard to take notes."
Steve Unruh, Lawrence sophomore, told a similar story of a classroom on the lower level of Snow Hall.
"You can tell the temperature goes way up about halfway through class," Unruh said. "My attention wanes considerably as the heat goes up."
"The air wasn't circulating," Kaplan said. "I had to step out in the hall for a few minutes just during class."
Josh Kaplan, Overland Park freshman, said a problem with the air conditioning in a classroom on the third floor of Strong Hall forced him and a few others to leave their math class to cool off one day last week.
Other classrooms on campus have been comfortable.
Kaplan also said a few students were falling asleep in the hot classroom.
"The attendance was very good," he said. "The students had done the reading. They participated in class discussions, and I don't think the heat negatively affected their performance at all."
Bill Tuttle, professor of history and American studies, said he didn't notice any problems with his classes in Wescoe and Nunemaker halls.
Satya Mandal, associate professor of mathematics, teaches in Snow and Strong halls and said he noticed that even though some students came into class looking tired, they carried on normally during class — asking questions, taking notes and talking to other students.
The air conditioning broke down for a few days last week in the Blake Hall room in which Kendra Knight, Baldwin City freshman, meets with her Spanish 105 class. A fan brought temporary relief.
"There was a fan in the class when we arrived, and it felt great," she said. "Then, another teacher in the building came and took it from us because it was hers, I guess."
She also said the heat had a negative effect on the class activities.
"You don't want to interact with people when it's so hot," she said. "I don't think anybody feels like getting up and talking to one another."
But Terah Isaacson, a Salina junior who lives in Watkins Scholarship Hall, which has no air conditioning in the rooms, said she could not complain about classroom temperatures.
"It's just a sense of relief," she said. "You actually look forward to going to class."
Michael Elliot, Wichita senior, said what bothered him was having to walk to class in the heat.
"By the time I get to class, I'm sweating quite a bit," he said. "It doesn't affect my school work, but it's just uncomfortable."

Student missing since first day of classes
An Indonesian student has been missing since Aug. 24, when he left campus to visit a relative in Wichita, the KU Public Safety Office said.
Ridwan, a 20year-old student in the KU Applied English Program, was dropped off at the Lawrence Greyhound bus station by his roommate at 1:30 p.m. that day and was expected back Aug. 28. Ridwan, who has only one name, was carrying a green duffel bag and was supposed to amine in Wichita at the Greyhound Bus Terminal at 5:15 p.m.
His roommate, Jacob Reeves, Wichita freshman, was to pick up Ridwan on Aug. 28 in Lawrence. Ridwan was supposed to call Reeves when he got in.
The public safety office is looking for Ridwan and has contacted Wichita and Topeka police and Wichita State University police in the attempt to locate him.
Ridwan was enrolled at Wichita State in the spring semester.
Parents of freshman die in accident on I-70
The parents of a KU freshman were killed in a car accident on their way to pick up their daughter for the weekend, said Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations.
Police said the truck's driver hit barricades and two cars on Interstate 70 before striking two more cars, one of which was the Livingstons', at the East Topeka entrance to the turnpike.
Daniel and Morelia Livingston, parents of Andrea Livingston of Omaha, Neb., were killed Friday in Topeka when a pickup truck hit their car at the entrance to the Kansas Turnpike, Topeka police said.
The driver was arrested and booked on two counts of involuntary manslaughter, police said.
"Our hearts go out to Andrea Livingston and her family," said Cancellor Robert Hemenway in a statement. "The entire University community is saddened by this horrible accident. We offer Andrea our prayers and all available support and assistance."
Man confronts student, masturbates in doorway
A 21-year-old female KU student was confronted by a masturbating
man Thursday night, Lawrence police said.
The student reported that a man appeared at the front door of her residence at 10:44 p.m. as she was returning home. He exposed himself and began mastubating, said detective M.T. Brown.
Brown said the man stood in the doorway of the student's residence, in the 1700 block of West 19th Street, so the student could not close the door.

Med Center to offer programs to community
The University of Kansas Medical Center is offering the community an opportunity to learn more about health care.
For the second year, the Med Center is offering an eight-week program about the school and health-related topics.
"The purpose of the class is to show the community that the school does major research and to educate people about their own health care," said Amy Franken, senior coordinator for community relations.
The classes will be Tuesday evenings until Tuesday, Oct. 24, at Rieke Auditorium in the Med Center.
Presentations will include genetics in the human genome era, cardiovascular disease and digestive disorders.
New topics this year will include the role of the coroner in death investigations and bioterrorism.
Deborah Powell, executive dean and vice chancellor for clinical affairs, said she thought the program would help unite the school with the community.
"People are becoming more and more knowledgeable and sophisticated about their health," she said in a written statement. "We want these programs to give them a perspective on medicine they don't always have."
Classes begin tonight at 7 and will last about two hours. The cost is $95.

Local bands play concert to benefit breast cancer
Three local bands — Holstein, Space Pocket and Lafayette — played a breast cancer benefit concert Thursday night at the Jazzahaus.
The concert was put together by Heather Mackler, a Lawrence resident who said she became involved in breast cancer awareness after her stepmother was diagnosed with breast cancer.
"I love music, and I wanted to get into promotion." Mackler said. "This is a way to get young people involved."
The concert raised $721, which will go toward public awareness, such as having speakers give presentations at sororites. Mackler said.

Surprise quake causes injuries in California
SAN FRANCISCO — Even in earthquake-prone California, the sharp jolt that caused millions of dollars in damage in the Napa Valley caught residents and experts alike off-guard.
Two people remained hospitalized yesterday, one in critical condition.
The magnitude 5.2 tremor struck at 1:36 a.m. Sunday about 6 miles northwest of Napa near the small town of Yountville — an area that seismologists hadn't even mapped for faults.
Moderate quakes can strike anywhere in the seismically volatile Bay Area, geologists said. But the Napa Valley is far down the list of places where they're expected.
The epicenter was three miles from the northern end of the nearest previously known fault, the West Napa. But the West Napa, although well-documented and considered active, hasn't produced a significant earthquake since the late 1800s, geologists said.
The last strong quakes near Napa hit in October 1969. The quakes, magnitudes 5.6 and 5.7, were centered in Santa Rosa, 17 miles east.
Officials estimated Sunday's quake caused $5 million to $15 million in damage.

Firestone avoids workers' strike
The Associated Press
ST.LOUIS - With a strike averted and a tentative contract in hand, troubled tire-maker Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. and its workers said yesterday that they were ready to get down to the business of making good tires and replacing bad ones.
"We're going to do everything we can to restore the public's faith in the company," said John Sellers, a lead negotiator for more than 8,000 Bridgestone/Firestone workers.
Once the agreement is ratified by union members, Sellers said everybody would be focused on the business of making tires.
Union negotiators announced they had reached a tentative contract agreement with the company just before dawn yesterday. The agreement came after a weekend of around-the-clock negotiating that continued past the union's initial strike deadline Friday night.
The three-year deal governs workers at nine U.S. factories.

While the company managed to avoid a strike, its troubles are far from over.
It is already in the midst of an effort to replace 6.5 million recalled tires, and a federal investigation continues into 88 U.S. traffic deaths allegedly linked to faulty tires.

Assistant professor files discrimination complaints
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
An assistant professor of journalism, who filed a motion in June to dismiss his discrimination lawsuit against the University of Kansas, has filed complaints with two federal agencies that regulate equal opportunity employment and affirmative action.
Mike Cuenca said he requested the discrimination lawsuit be dismissed so that his complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs could be settled.
Cuenca's lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in April 1999, said that the University discriminated against him and denied him promotions because he is Filipino American. It also claimed the University retaliated against him when he complained about discrimination. Cuenca was denied tenure during the spring semester.
Rose Marino, associate general counsel for the University, confirmed that the University had simultaneously filed a motion to either continue the lawsuit or to dismiss it without the option of
"To have a lawsuit go on for a year and a half or a couple of years causes the expense and effort of a lot of people," Marino said. "It would be better if the matter is decided once and for all. It would be better to come to a final resolution and not have to start all over again."
refiling.
Pending the court's decision, Cuenca said that he planned to refile the lawsuit but that he wasn't sure when.
Cuenca now is waiting to hear what the EEOC and the OCCP discover in their investigations of the University. The St. Louis office of
the Equal Opportunity Commission issued an official charge Aug. 14 based on Cuenca's complaint of tenure denial and retaliation.
Cuenca's complaint filed with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs said that his civil rights and his rights guaranteed under Executive Order 11246 were violated. The executive order prohibits agencies that receive more than $10,000 in federal money from discriminating based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin in employment decisions. The order also requires such agencies to develop and execute an affirmative
action plan.
Complaints also were filed by Ray Plierotti, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology; John O'Brien, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology; and Cynthia Annett, former assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
"I sent the letter to the OCPCC to bring this mess to an end," Cuenca said. "It's now pretty obvious what many of us have gone through. The University is continuing to fight against the reality of the situation, denying it and silencing people. That's why we wanted to bring in outside agencies to deal with it."
Cuenca's letter said the University was found to be in violation of several aspects of the executive order in a 1994 audit.
Maurice Bryan, director of the University's Office of Equal Opportunity, would not verify whether the University was found in violation. He said he was aware of the complaint Cuenca filed.
"Part of the the University's affirmative action program is the existence of this office." Bryan said. "We are involved in the search for faculty and classified staff and recruitment and deal with complaints."

City Commission
City Commission meeting, 6:45 p.m.today at City Hall, 6 E. 6th St.
The City Commission at tonight's meeting will review a proposal to reduce the number of unrelated people that can live in households in single-family neighborhoods. The proposed change would reduce the number from four to two.
Any proposal recommended by the commission must go to the planning commission for consideration before being referred back to the City Commission for final action.
There are two proposals on the docket. One proposal, drafted by the neighborhoods, would phase in the change during a three-year period. The other proposal, drafted by city staff, would phase in the change at nonconforming properties when the current leases expire.
The Masters of Public
Administration program will conduct the 2000 Lawrence Citizen Survey, the fifth survey the program has conducted since 1992.
The survey includes a battery of standard questions and specific policy questions about how Lawrence residents view their communities and government. It is part of a quantitative analysis course, and the survey is contracted to the Survey Research Lab.
The program is asking the city to pay the expense of collecting the data, estimated at between $3,000 and $5,000.
The survey will be conducted next month, and preliminary results will be ready by early December.

Book calls for pastor's release
By Melissa Davis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Seventeen years ago, pastor Thomas Bird was convicted of killing his wife in Emporia. Now, two men are fighting for his release from prison.
David Racer and the Rev. Kenneth Kothe stopped Friday in Lawrence on a Kansas tour to promote their book Caged Bird. The book attempts to prove Bird's innocence by talking about the trial and the politics involved in the case.
On July 17, 1983, the body of Sandra Bird, Thomas Bird's wife, was found in a ditch near the Rocky Ford Bridge outside Emporia. Police did not suspect foul play at first. But four months later, the body of Bird's secretary's husband, Marty Anderson, was found with three gunshot wounds to the head. After the second death, accusations started to fly, and fingers were pointed at Bird.
Kothe, who went to seminary school with Bird, asked Racer to write the book. As the book developed, Racer also became close to Bird. The two men hope their book will raise awareness and help free their friend, who they think was wrongly convicted.
Racer and Kothe both believe that town gossip convicted Bird. They said there were rumors that Bird and his secretary were having an affair and wanted their spouses out of the picture.
"It wasn't until Marty was murdered [that] people started talking that Sandy had been murdered as well." Racer said.
The book came out last week and has received mixed reviews from the Emporia community.
Jody Bryant, a member of Faith Lutheran Church where Bird was pastor, said she bought a copy of the book but couldn't finish it.
"I was halfway through it, but I had to put it down because I started to have bad dreams," she said.
Bryant was a witness at the trial and thinks Bird is innocent.
"If he wasn't innocent and just pled guilty he would be paroled by now, but he has a covenant with God," Bryant said. "If he was lying, he would lose his soul."
Norton Ritter, a pastor at First United Methodist Church in Emporia, said he thought that most of the Emporia community thought that Bird was rightfully imprisoned.
Both Ritter and Bryant said it would be interesting to know the truth.
"It would be nice to see this case resolved, but I don't see a solution in the near future." Bryant said.
Reverend Kothe's stop in Lawrence was the last on his 450-mile bicycle tour through Kansas. Racer also appeared in some locations to speak.
Bird is up for parole in November and is serving his 16th year at Lansing Correctional Facility.

'Smart' alarms find problems other than fire
Continued from page 1A
Hoor plan showing where the alarm is going off, which Rombach said was a key component.
"In an old, dumb system, a fireman would have to search the building," Rombach said. "With a smart system, a fireman would know it's on the east side of Strong Hall and exactly where it was."
Rombach said the smart alarms also sensed dirty smoke detectors or other problems without sending an alarm.
"If a spider or dirt or something gets into the detector, instead of failing or sounding, it sends off a trouble signal," Rombach said.
Severe weather warning chips also have been developed and are being installed as part of this project, which Rombach said was developed over a two-year period to assure the best quality.
"We delayed putting anything in while organizing to get the best system," he said. "It takes a lot of resources to put in system of this kind."
The public safety office still urges people to get out and call, whether the building has smart alarms or not.
"The only point to having the systems is to get the people out." said Sgt. Troy Mailen. "If they don't leave, it defeats the purpose."

Clinton's corruption hits new low
It's hardly shocking anymore to hear about new revelations of corruption at the highest levels of the Clinton administration. Indeed, after almost eight years of the man who allegedly raised illegal campaign money from the communist Chinese, was fined $80,000 for contempt of court by a federal judge and was impeached by the House of Representatives for perjury and obstruction of justice, corruption is about as surprising as the sunrise.
But there is a new and insidious revelation of corruption, although "new" only because the mainstream media has been ignoring this knowledge for years. Since 1993, the Clinton administration has been actively harassing its political opponents with bogus IRS audits, "the economic equivalent of a complete rectal examination," as Jerry Seinfeld once put it. The message: "Before you speak out against this administration, you better have a good tax lawyer." Or perhaps: "Keep your mouth shut, or else."
PETER HUNT
Just a few strategically timed audits here or there and you might, with good reason, simply pass them off as coincidence. But when you start examining the Clinton record, a disturbing pattern forms, a pattern of abuse and harassment that no reasonable person can ignore, much less defend.
Three days after Paula Jones declined to settle her sexual harassment lawsuit against President Clinton, she and her husband were notified by the Internal Revenue Service that they were being audited
John McCool guest columnist opinion@kansan.com
Two days after Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) subpoenaed Attorney General Janet Reno for information on the mysterious death of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, IRS agents showed up demanding his tax records from the past five years.
Just last week, Katherine Prudhomme, a defender of a woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by Clinton, was notified of an IRS audit just hours before she was to speak at a rape-awareness rally outside Hillary Clinton's New York campaign headquarters, according to the Washington Times.
According to the government watchdog group Judicial Watch, several individuals and organizations have been targeted. They include: Gennifer Flowers and Elizabeth Ward Gracen, who both admitted they'd had affairs with the president; conservative groups such as the Heritage Foundation, the Christian Coalition and the National Rifle Association; five foundations and colleges associated with Newt Gingrich; conservative magazines such as the National Review; "unfriendly" journalists; and many others.
The smoking memo hasn't surfaced and likely never will because this isn't the sort of thing presidents put their John Hancocks on. But it simply cannot be a coincidence that dqzens of organizations and individuals have been audited by the IRS (at taxpayers' expense), all of which have either openly criticized the administration or are believed to possess information harmful to the president. This seems not only a Soviet-style assault on free speech but also abuse of power at its worst.
Targeting one's political opponents with IRS audits is a criminal offense; in 1974, it was even an impeachable offense: one of the crimes for which President Nixon was (rightly) condemned and forced to resign by Democrats and Republicans alike. But Jerome Zeifman, former chief counsel for the Democratic committee that drafted the articles of impeachment against Nixon, criticized Clinton's conduct.
"In my opinion, the misconduct of President Clinton and his White House is more egregious by far than the misconduct of the Nixon White House with respect to the misuse of the IRS," Zeilman said.
Can it be true that, for the mainstream media, when a Republican uses the IRS to menace his opponents, it's scandalous, impeachable and threatens our democracy, but that it's somehow acceptable when done by a Democrat? Sadly, it seems that the media, the public's once-respected watchdog, now has been neutered.

Student Senate works to meet student needs
W ait! Don't turn the page yet. If you are like most KU students, you saw that this column was Student
Senate-related and automatically moved on. A recent Student Senate survey indicates that most students are indifferent to Student
Senate and its activities.
Either you don't know what we do, you don't care or both. But many issues that you identified as important are issues that we confront all the time.
Even though the survey results indicate that you care about many of the same issues and use many of our services, you still don't care about Senate. That is largely because we haven't done a good job communicating our efforts, soliciting your feedback or getting you involved with our projects. The only time you usually hear from Senate is during the spring campaign. We hope to change that this year.
It began last week with Outreach Week. Many of your senators and executive staff members, led by our Student Executive Committee chairwoman, Kim Fuchs, braved the scorching temperatures sat at Wescoe Beach not only to give you the opportunity to learn what we have been doing but also to get your ideas and invite you to get
meas and invite you to get involved in Senate. Our outreach efforts will not end there. We will be writing guest columns through-

out the year to keep you informed. We will be visiting your student organizations, your residence and scholarship halls, your fraternities and sororites. We will be sending out newsletters and having more information tables throughout the year. If you are interested in getting involved in Senate, stop by our table at Wescoe Beach today and pick up a membership form or come to committee orientation at 6 tomorrow night at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
We also want to let you know some of our major plans for the year. Overall, we want to change the focus of Senate to be more relevant to your everyday life. We want to provide more services that will directly impact you. We are developing an off-campus housing guide on the Internet to help you find a place to live, know your rights as a tenant or find a sublease. We are working to provide students free cards that will give them discounts at local businesses. We are attempting to give you free access to national newspapers, such as the New York Times or USA Today. We want to improve services in the residence halls, such as allowing use of meal cards at other campus locations. We have been working to get a firm commitment from the University to finally allow online enrollment. We have an ambitious proposal prepared for the state legislature to bring tuition rates under control. This is just the beginning of a long list of Student Senate projects this year. Stay tuned for more as the year goes on.
If you have a problem or idea of something Senate can do for students, stop by the office at room 410 in the Kansas Union, call us at 864-3710 or email Ben at bw@ukans.edu or Marlon at dooble@ukans.edu. As your student body president and vice president, we are your representatives, and we encourage you to let us know what is on your mind.

Editorial
Enrollment burdens travelers
The Office of Study Abroad should revise its antiquated enrollment procedure.
Although foreign study can be a rewarding experience, the enrollment problems KU Study Abroad students can encounter upon returning to the University sometimes undermine the pleasure of having traveled.
Before traveling, students who choose to study abroad through KU are responsible for completing enrollment forms for the semester following their program's completion. Students list their desired classes on the forms, as well as some alternatives. The Office of Study Abroad then attempts to enroll the students in their classes during the main enrollment period.
However, students are not guaranteed a full schedule.
Unfortunately, the University does not list the classes that will be offered during a semester until a few weeks before main enrollment begins. Students studying abroad must rely on outdated timetables to anticipate the classes that will be offered the following semester. This frequently causes problems as classes that are offered one semester are not offered the next.
An enrollment official at the office estimated that 15 percent to 20 percent of study abroad returnees face the same problems and are subsequently forced to Add/Drop.
Blame lies not only on the lack of communication between the office, enrollment officials and students but also on students. The office cannot attempt to enroll students in classes other than those that have been specified through the enrollment form. Many times, students don't list enough alternatives to classes that may be difficult to obtain, and they return to find that they are not enrolled in enough hours. This may put them at risk of losing scholarships or other financial aid.
Dated timetables, the students' absence and the unpredictability of class offerings create problems that lead to confusion and student dissatisfaction.
The University should not promise students a full schedule of classes upon their return if it cannot deliver.
The University encourages foreign study, but it needs to update its antiquated enrollment system to ensure that returning students will be able to get the classes they need to continue making progress toward their degrees.

Census data under scrutiny
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Let the number crunching begin.
With a survey of 314,000 households near completion, the Census Bureau's focus now shifts from urging people to return questionnaires and tracking down recalcitrant households, to weaving together the statistical portrait of America it produces once a decade.
Statisticians will sift through data to check its accuracy, while demographers analyze the numbers to search for trends. Are people still fleeing cities for the suburbs? Will the minority population continue to grow?
The answers will tell new stories about the American population, determine the redistribution of federal dollars and decide political power among and within the states.
One of the bigger story lines is the nation's racial and ethnic makeup. Estimates released last week showed that growth in the country's minority population outpaced that of non-Hispanic whites in the 1990s, especially Asians (up 43 percent) and Hispanics (up 38 percent).
The non-Hispanic white population, mean while, grew 7 percent during the decade.
Census 2000 data is expected to back up those estimates with actual numbers for the first time in 10 years.
"It's a very dramatic change in the makeup of the country," said Census Bureau Director Kenneth Prewitt. "I think Census 2000 is going

makeup of the country Census 2000 is going to be extremely important as this country holds up a mirror to itself"

to be extremely important as this country holds in a mirror to itself."
The first results to be released — the actual head count of the nation's population — must land on President Clinton's desk by Dec. 31. The Supreme Court last year ruled those figures must be used to reportion the 435 seats in the House.
Population figures, adjusted by using a statistical method known as sampling, are scheduled for release by April 1. That second population total will be based on the survey of 314,000 households.
Sampling has and will continue to face political scrutiny in the months to come, analysts said.
Supporters of sampling said it helped account for people missed in prior counts, especially the poor, minorities and inner-city residents — segments of the population that tended to vote

democratic.
The Supreme Court ruling left open for states to decide whether to use sampled data as the basis for drawing new political boundaries. GOP leaders fear sampled numbers could lead to districts with higher concentrations of Democrats.
About 80 million, or 68 percent, of the country's 120 million households returned census forms, reversing a decades-long decline in participation.
Critics, most vocally House census subcommittee chairman Rep. Dan Miller, R-Fla., have questioned whether procedural errors in 15 offices may have affected the accuracy of data collected. And a handful of former census employees have said they felt rushed to complete their task of gathering answers from some of the 40 million nonresponding households.
Most recently, Miller has complained of the agency's lack of cooperation with congressional overseers, and called for investigations after several census workers in Los Angeles participated in an event — tied to the Democratic National Convention — designed to mobilize black voters.
The criticism "is a necessary price the Census Bureau has to pay to prove it is a transparent census and is a transparent issue." Prewitt said.
Public safety an issue in Westport
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Westport entertainment district is a big draw for the young crowd around Kansas City, with bars, clubs and restaurants in abundance.
It's also a big concern for police officers and area businesses. So they're trying to find a way to control the crowds and keep the district safe, without targeting certain groups.
On weekends during the summer, they walk the streets in the early hours of the day, monitoring the crowds. They're business owners, City Council members, civil rights leaders, neighborhood activists and officials from the mayor's office.
Police said they were most concerned about public safety. They have a new line of defense ready — turning away cars if crowds grow too large.
Every Saturday night, young people seeking the bar scene flock to the area. They pack the streets and sidewalks, forming a mass of up to 3,000 people by 3 a.m. that can tie up traffic — for pedestrians and drivers — and create a mob mentality, where panic and danger can result from the inappropriate actions of a few.
"We really have too many people down there than we can effectively handle," said police Mai, Anthony G. Ell.
Those involved agree that the Westport problem has no easy answers.
Some say police actions restrict individuals' freedom. Business owners worry about profits if Westport's image suffers. And young adults say there's a lack of nightlife options.
Last weekend a handful of people threw bottles and rocks at police for about two minutes. A waitress was punched in the crowd, her purse stolen and her car blocked. Several women in a car were physically accosted by a group of men, and police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd so an officer could reach the women.
Still, police said that for an entertainment district drawing such crowds, Westport didn't have a high crime rate. Most citations are traffic violations. This summer, nine people were caught in the area with guns.
In July, a man fired shots from a semiautomatic handgun. No one was hurt.
Some, including the American Civil Liberties Union, ask whether African Americans are treated more harshly by police. The group questions the practice of herding people — many African-American — from the streets, forcing them to move west down Westport Road.
"We have to cut down on the number of people in Westport, and I don't care if they are red, yellow, blue, green or orange — this is for everyone," said Ell, who is African American.
Tim Knight lives in the Westport area and has operated his business, Precision Optics, there since 1972.
His customers are concerned. One longtime
customer from the suburbs called to ask whether it was safe to pick up her glasses.
"The perceptions do roll over into my and everyone else's business." he said.
Michael McMillian has walked the late-night streets of Westport. He has also sat through several long meetings as officials haggled about what to do about the throngs of young people.
McMillian, 22 and African-American, has sensed the stepped-up enforcement by police. He has been caught in the sweeps where police usher everyone toward Mill Street.
"The police are in a more combative manner than they were last year," McMillian said.
McMillian said the problem was there were few clubs for young adults.
In recent years, many clubs outside Westport that catered to young African Americans have closed. The reasons vary — pressure by neighborhood activists, police concerns with crowds outside clubs and liquor control violations. Many remaining clubs have age limits of 25 or even 30 and above.
Darryck Dean, also African-American, is associate executive director of Kansas City Harmony, a diversity group that participated in the monthly meetings of the Westport Community Task Force.
"I hope everyone can just see this as a public safety issue," he said. "I feel like the police have been fair and have treated everyone equally regardless of age, race or gender."

Jayhawks hope to move past loss, learn from mistakes

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
By Allan Davis sports@kansas.com Kansans sportswriter
That may be the best philosophy for the Jayhawks after their 31-17 loss to Southern Methodist University Saturday. The Jayhawks said they recognized their errors and would put the loss behind them as they prepared for their next opponent, the University of Alabama-Birmingham, Saturday, Sept. 16, at Memorial Stadium.
"We just want to go back and prepare ourselves for UAB," said junior wide receiver Terraine Fulton. "There's nothing we can do about it now. It's just one of those nights that happen. I guess they were just more prepared than us and ready to play more than us. We just made a lot of mistakes — dropped passes, special teams. But we're not going to dwell on it. We can't let this stick with us the whole season."
Senior Eric Patterson, who caught
three passes for 21, started at wide receiver in place of junior Harrison Hill. Patterson was aware early in the week that Hill, suffering from dehydration, would not be able to play.
"We just can't start out like we did," Patterson said. "You can't have the mistakes in the special teams — things like that. We've just got to come back after the off week and play harder. We're going to focus harder in practice. Everyone's going to get on the same page. I believe our outcome is going to be a lot better against UAB."
Senior Bilal Cook started at free safety in place of co-captain Carl Nesmith Nesmith was suspended for a violation of the team code of conduct.
"It was not, as everyone often assumes in those situations, a drug situation," said coach Terry Allen. "It was a situation where he broke some rules, and we won't stand for that. That's over. It was for one game. He's still one of our captains, and we're anxious to get him back."
It's doubtful that Nesmith's presence
would have altered the outcome, given the number of mistakes the Jayhawks made.
However, after their first-quarter punt-team problems, the Jayhawks demonstrated that they could move the ball even though they failed to capitalize on a couple of close-to-the-goal line opportunities. They settled for a field goal in the second quarter and turned the ball over on downs in the fourth quarter after a catch by tight end David Hurst led to a first-and-goal on the one-yard line.
"We had a chance," Fulton said. "We just couldn't convert and make things happen. When you've got those kinds of opportunities, you can't let them pass you by. You've got to take advantage of that."
in the fourth quarter, Smith hooked up with wide receiver Roger Ross for three receptions for 39 yards, and Fulton caught a 32-yard touchdown pass, bringing the 'Hawks to within two touchdowns.
'Hawks' confidence shaken following road defeat to Mustangs
— Edited by Amy Randolph
By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Kansas coach Terry Allen has spent the majority of his life in Iowa, but Saturday he sounded like a man who grew up in California.
In California, disasters — such as earthquakes and hurricanes — seem inevitable. The Jayhawks, when playing anywhere away from home, have been a disaster of
ourir own. So when Southern Methodist University beat Kansas Saturday in Dallas, 31-17, Allen acted like his team already had gone through the proper precautions to try and move forward.
"Unfortunately, we've been through this before." Allen said.
What looked like a confident team is shaken after losing another road game.
"There's nowhere to go but up," said David Hurst, sophomore tight
end. "I don't want to say we're at rock bottom ... but we can only go up."
The loss evoked memories of last year's defeat to San Diego State, in which Kansas was humiliated at home by what was considered by many an inferior opponent. But this was different.
Kansas looked more prepared for this game than it did before last year's debacle. All along, Allen and his players insisted that
If for nothing else, give Allen credit for making a gutsy change to his defense by suspending All-American safety candidate Carl Nesmith before the game, which may have been a factor in Kansas' defensive struggle. Allen declined to elaborate on the suspension but said Nesmith was expected to start Saturday, Sept. 16, against Alabama-Birmingham.
in no way were they overlooking the Mustangs.
The loss could have trickle-down effects for Kansas. First, of course, is fan base and interest. After the Jayhawks lost to San Diego State last year, nearly 10,000 fewer fans came out the next week to watch Kansas beat SMU.
Second, Kansas has 32 Texans on its roster, and losing there, lywhere potential recruits are watching, cannot help matters.
"Those are things associated with a loss," Allen said. "And they
certainly could affect us later."
For now, Allen said he did not want to think about playing on the road again. He figures the Jayhawks have plenty of work to do to get ready for their next two home games.
"Well, now we're playing twice at home," he said. "There's three weeks before we play on the road again. We've got to take care of our mistakes before we can talk about being successful on the road."

J. HOOD, BOOKSELLERS IS CLOSING
We appreciate the support from all our customers over the years, extend our thanks for your patronage, and encourage you to continue buying and reading good books.
After twenty-six years of operating an open bookshop in Lawrence, Kansas - we will be closing the door at 1401 Massachusetts and moving on to a new chapter in our adventure with scholarly books.
John & Gloria Hood
We are grateful to the Lawrence community for being the kind of place in 1974 which allowed a tiny independent business to begin and flourish, and hope there are still places in the city for that to continue amidst the giant corporate invasion now happening. With fewer than 1000 used books, we opened August 28th, 1974 and grew to over 85,000, selling them first to our Lawrence customers and now all over the world through the data banks of the internet. With the shift in book buying toward mega-stores and the internet, coupled with the desire to simplify our personal lives, the open shop is no longer a sustainable avenue for selling our books.
We will begin September with a 20% reduction sale on all the books in the store and then transfer our computer cataloged titles to the new bookbarn near our home. The remaining books will then be sold with a progressive reduction over the next 4-6 weeks.

Two basketball signees won't play this fall for Texas A&M
By Chris Wristen
sports @ kanson.com
Konson sportwriter
Expectations of a basketball resurgence have abounded in College Station, Texas, since the end of last season, but those expectations could be depleted following the loss of two Texas A&M Aggies.
Freshman guard Trayvean Scott withdrew from the university on Friday, Scott, from Baton Rouge, La., was a high school teammate of another highly touted A&M signee. Nick Anderson.
"Trayvean was here for one day and decided he was homesick," said third-year coach Melvin Watkins in a statement. "It wasn't anything against Texas A&M; he just decided he wanted to be with his family."
Scott was expected to contribute at the point-guard position this fall and would have joined a talented backcourt including last year's Big 12 freshman of the year, sophomore forward Bernard King, and sophomore point guard Jamal Golchrist.
"He was a young man we were counting on to compete for playing time," Watkins said of Scott. "We'll move forward, and someone else will have to pick up the slack."
But that someone won't be freshman forward Jesse King. He did not meet academic entrance requirements at Texas A&M, making him academically ineligible for the first semester. If he meets standards when tested again in December, he can relinch the team.
Kentucky has also experienced its share of player losses. Junior forward Soleymane "Jules" Camara was arrested Sunday on drunken driving charges.
Camara will be suspended pending the outcome of the case, Kentucky Director of Athletics Larry Ivy said in a statement. If convicted, Camara will be suspended indefinitely and will forfeit his athletic scholarship.
Camara was a projected starter for the 2000-2001 season. Last year he averaged 5.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.
Kentucky coach Tubby Smith was in Japan and not available for comment. Edited by Clay McCuliston
'Hawks lose on road again
Continued from page 10A
was clear that plenty of seats were empty from the start. Still, the crowd provided ample motivation for the Mustangs to open the field on positive terms.
22
The new field came with a few advantages. The Mustangs student section stretched behind the Kansas bench. While Southern Methodist's sideline was in shade for the 6 p.m. start, Kansas had the sun in its eyes when the game started with the temperature at 107 degrees. And Kansas had one more hill to climb — literally. To get back to the locker room, the visiting team had to climb two steep sets of stairs.

Mustangs coach Mike Cavan knew this was a must-win for his team, too. If not for the prospect of seeing the post-season again, at least to spark more interest from the school and community.
"I won't say this was the biggest win ever for SMU." Cavan said. "I don't want to diminish from some of the past great SMU teams. But this may be the most important win ever."
Southern Methodist received some help from the Jayhawks. Again, they folded on the road, dropping to 1-15 away from Lawrence under fourth-year coach Allen.
"I don't know what it is
about us when we're on the road," said tight end David Hurst. "I thought this game was going to kill that jinx."
What makes the loss hurt more for Kansas is having a bye-week this week, then facing Alabama-Birmingham and Southern Illinois at
home before heading for the road again. Kansas could have been 3-0 before heading to Oklahoma.
Now the Jayhawks must accept this loss and try to move on.

Football team fumbles season opener at Southern Methodist
By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswritter
For the weeks leading up to its first game at Southern Methodist University, Kansas treated the season opener like a guaranteed victory.
Kansas insisted things were going well as they completed preseason practices, and the thought of failure was not something to broach.
But just when the Jayhawks had thoughts of victory, Southern Methodist had different plans, putting together a 31-17 win Saturday.
"As bizarre as it sounds," said
coach Terry Allen, "I had great confidence before the game."
Since spring practices, Allen referred to the opener at Dallas as a must-win. Kansas knew it had to have this game to retain any reasonable hopes for a post-season game. Allen and the players showed plenty of concern about opening on the road, where it has been less than perfect in the past.
Maybe the team was too focused. From the start, Kansas looked tight. The defense appeared immobile and was without safety Carl Nesmith, who was suspended for "violation of team conduct policy." The defensive line could not provide substantial penetration, and Southern
Methodist took its time and found open receivers who crept past the secondary.
The special teams were critically unspectacular Punter Joey Pelfiano was effective when he was able to kick the ball, but too many
times that was not an option.
"Our demise was the mistakes we made on our punt team," Allen said. "But that was a

Volleyball team earns Purdue tourney crown
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
The Kansas volleyball team was hot, hot, hot this weekend — hot on kills, hot on wins and just hot and sweaty in general.
The Jayhawks cleaned up in the Purdue Mortar Board Premier Tournament, trouncing Western Michigan, Eastern Kentucky and host team Purdue this weekend in the un-air-conditioned Intercollegiate Athletics Facility at West Lafayette, Ind.
"We really come out hard," said junior setter Molly LaMere. "We were kind of anxious to see how we'd play together in a competitive environment, but everybody came out to play hard and win."
However, the host team proved to be more difficult with the backing of a chaotic home crowd fresh from the football team's season opening win against Central Michigan. Despite the vitriolic stands, Kansas pulled away from Purdue, winning 15-10, 15-10, 13-15 and 15-5, thus defeating Purdue for the first time.
The Hawks came away victorious in their season-opening match Friday, downing Western Michigan 3-1. A few hours later, the team stomped Eastern Kentucky, sweeping it 3-0 and holding its opponents to just three points per game in the match.
"Purdue was similar to us in that they had lost some key players from last year, but it is still a good Big 10 school," said coach Ray Bechard. "We just had a lot of close
games, and we pulled them out."
Squeezing victories out of close matches had been one of Bechard's preseason goals for his 2000 team. However, a pretournament goal — to be more efficient offensively — fell a bit short this weekend as the team found itself a little short in two departments.
"We fell a little below our goals in passing efficiency and serving efficiency," Bechard said. "So I'm a little disappointed with that, but at the same time, when the games were close, we executed the big points."
And those big points not only earned the team the tournament crown, they also earned the Javahaws respect.
Three Jayhawks were named to the seven-player all-tournament team. LaMere and senior outside hitter Nancy Bell were named to the all-tournament team, while senior outside hitter Amy Myatt was named tournament Most Valuable Player. For the weekend, Bell and Myatt recorded 35 kills and 52 kills, respectively, while LaMere posted 124 set assists.
"There was really no question when we got on the floor that we wanted it more," La Mere said of final game against Purdue. "It was really nice to come out and practice against a team like Purdue, especially to get ready for the conference."
The 'Hawks meet Wichita State in their home opener at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center.

'Hawks split matches
Kansan sportswriter

Bv Yoshitaka Ebisawa
After many ups and downs, road games may seem mountainous for the Kansas women's soccer team.
After splitting their first two games on the road, the Jayhawks gave another high-and-low weekend on the road, losing to St. Louis 3-2 Friday in St. Louis but coming back to beat Creighton 4-1 yesterday in Omaha, Neb.
In St. Louis Friday, Kansas was up 2-0 until the 64th minute but let the defending Conference USA champions score three consecutive goals and avoid their first setback this season.
"When you are up 2-0, you can't let go," said Kansas coach Mark Francis. "Even after they scored their first goal, we kept after it and then just let it get away."
Kansas was outshot by St. Louis 9-20 but dominated possession much of the game.
"Realistically, as much as we had the ball, we didn't create enough chances in the final third of the field," Francis said. "We did well with the opportunities we had, but we need to keep attacking and looking for more."
Jennifer Ray, a freshman midfielder from Hillington, England, converted from the penalty spot for
her first collegiate goal in the 54th minute. Four minutes later, sophomore forward Carmel Kaplinger made it 2-0 when she received senior midfielder Meghann Haven's pass and drilled it to the back left corner of the net. Kaplinger led Louisville in scoring as a freshman in 1999 before she joined the Javahawks this year.
Yesterday's win against Creighton lightened up the weekend.
"Defensively, we are a lot happier with how we played as a team today." Francis said after yesterday's game. "We didn't get punished on our mistakes in the middle and final third of the field the way we had the past two games."
Kansas started strong with junior forward Natalie Hoogveld's goal in the sixth minute. Senior forward Lindsey Horner made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute, scoring off the assist of Hoogveld. After Creighton cut Kansas' lead in half, senior midfielder Meghann Haven put the Jayhawks two goals ahead in the 64th minute. Junior forward Melanie Schroeder added a goal with a direct free kick in the 80th minute.
With the victory against the Bluejays, the Jayhawks evened their record at 2-2.
Kansas will remain on the road this week, traveling to Irving, Calif., to participate in the UC-Irvine Tournament Friday.

Despite shaky season opener, football team still worth watching
One and done?
Could this be it for KU football 2000?
In one of those endearing Terry Allen foibles, the Jayhawks' head coach spoke his mind and labeled the season opener at Southern Methodist University a must-win game.
With an unforgiving Big 12 schedule ahead, a victory against the medicore Mustangs was a precondition of the team's bowl berth hopes. After an embarrassing upset in Texas, the uphill battle has become as precipitous as Everest.
It begs the question: Does a loss in a must-win game obviate the remainder of the season (all 10 games of it)?
Derek Prater
Sports Columnist
And, it is hoped, not if you're the fans.
10
sports@kansan.com
Not if you're the head coach.
Allen will no doubt find a way to inject meaning into each and every game. Bowl hopes, though on a respirator, will continue to breathe at least until the 'Hawks drop another game to an inferior opponent.
Even without a good shot at a bowl Allen can rally the troops with words such as "pride," "touchness," and "rivalry."
The trickier task is to make the fans care.
Will they come out to the stadium to watch a team that started out the season on the wrong foot (which just happened to end up in the coach's mouth)?
They should.
After all, it shouldn't be surprising that the Hawks, laden with junior college newcomers, struggled to find chemistry their first time out. They made stupid mistakes, especially in the kicking game, and they will continue to do so. But they will get better. The more they play together, the fewer mistakes they will make — and the
more big plays they will uncork.
This team, though not in a class with the elite of the Big 12, has some players worth watching.
Moran Norris should be the staple of the offense. A juggernaut who can juke, Norris has a rare combination of size and agility that make him one of the most dangerous runners in the conference.
Dylen Smith is inconsistent, but he has the arm and the legs to make big plays. When he catches fire, he can take. And this year, he has far more weapons to throw to.
Carl Nesmith, who missed the first game because of a cryptic violation of team rules, is worth the price of admission all by himself. His hits induce in the fan the
macabre fascination one encounters witness a car wreck.
Kansas football may not be ready to compete at the top of the Big 12, but it is bringing in the type of players that fans want to watch. And the athletic department is demonstrating a commitment to develop a winning football team.
That this team will win enough to make a bowl this year is doubtful. But the 'Hawks will win a big game this year against a team better than Southern Methodist.
Whether it's Colorado, Kansas State or Texas, the 'Hawks will take a game that no one expects them to win and turn it into a just-win game.

Freshman class has 116 National Merits
WWW.KANSAN.COM
By Karen Lucas
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
This year's freshman class already has made history.
A total of 116 freshman National Merit Scholars—the most ever at the University of Kansas—have enrolled this fall, said Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations. Forty-six scholars are from Kansas while the other 70 are from out-of-state.
"We're very pleased that all these out
This year's number is 15 more than the 101 freshman National Merit Scholars in last year's class. The University enrolled 63 in 1998 and 90 in 1997.
standing students chose to come to KU when they could have gone to any school in the country," said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost.
McCluskey-Fawcett said she thought the increase could be attributed to various factors.
"We have attracted many excellent students in the past and that attracts other excellent students to come here," she said. "Also, the staff in the Office of Admissions and Scholarships have worked very hard to recruit these students."
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, said about one-third of the state's National Merit finalists opted to enroll at the University.
"We're pleased with the number of home-state National Merit Scholars that have chosen KU," he said.
Chris Boyle, Overland Park freshman and National Merit Scholar, said he was impressed with how he was treated
while visiting KU.
"When I toured here, it felt like home," he said. "I toured a lot of schools that seemed to be working too hard to try to impress me. When I finally got to KU, they were much more open, and the entire campus seemed like one big family."
Cerveny said he thought the increase in National Merit Scholars would benefit recruiting.
"I certainly think this is a big boost for our recruiting program," he said. "Prospective students and parents are always looking for signs of quality, and the fact that a record number of national merit scholars are choosing KU when they could attend most any institution is certainly a clear sign of our academic quality."
The National Merit Scholarships are based primarily on students' PSAT scores, the types of courses they took in high school and their grades, Cerveny said.

FIREFIGHTERS IN A FIRE STATION
Evening blazes cause damages to garden store
By Lauren Brandenburg and Jessie Meyer
Kansan staff writer and Kansan campus editor
a fire broke out at 6:19 p.m.yesterday and tore through a potting shed at the Sunrise Garden Center.
Lawrence Fire and Medical Battalion Chief Dan Morrow said the fire at 1501 Learnard Ave. involved some chemicals stored in the shed, but the cause was unknown at this time.
Jim McSain, chief of Douglas County Lawrence Fire and Medical Department, said at the time of the fire, the business was closed, no damage to the building.
one was inside the building and no one was injured.
The fire did not reach the greenhouse,but was concentrated in a shed that was connected to other buildings in the complex.
"They were able to contain it to the southeast section of the building that was completely involved when we got there."

Morrow said. "The section of the building that was involved was very seriously damaged."
Six trucks were sent to the scene — three engine units, a ladder unit and two medical units. They were able to bring the fire under control in under 20 minutes, but it took the firefighters longer to go through the building and put out all the smoldering rubble, Morrow said.
The estimate of damage was unknown, Morrow said.
Frank Lemus, who has lived across the street from the store for more than 20 years, said he was preparing dinner when he heard the sirens. "There were really high flames." Lemus said. "I've never seen something like that."
Lemus has been a customer of the garden center for years. He said he bought flowers and plants there in the summer.
it is a very popular, very nice, very well-run business," Lemus said.

Event encourages minority interaction
By Leita Schultes
Kansan staff writer
Feedback was positive for the first Student Athlete of Color Reception Tuesday night.
"I'm very happy, because of the people who showed up," said Santos Nunez, assistant director of the Multicultural Resource Center. "We had a good mix of athletes and non-athletes."
The goal of the reception was to encourage dialogue between students of color and student athletes of color.
"This is just our first of many steps of having our students come together," said Robert Page, interim director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Nunez said she heard hoped to make the reception an annual event.
Those who attended said it was important for multicultural students to interact because they represented a minority on campus.

"Once you develop your own little crew, it's hard to go out and meet other people," Smith, Kansas City, Mo. said.
Smith said she wasn't on the rowing team her first year at the University of Kansas, so she was able to meet non-athletes. But she said football players had a harder time branching out because they put in longer hours and were more isolated.
Sophomore rower Jasmin Smith agreed.

Rental proposal under review
By Matt Merkel-Hess
Kansan staff writer
A proposed housing ordinance was sent to the Lawrence Planning Commission for review at last night's City Commission meeting.
The proposal, which the planning commission will hear on Oct. 25, would reduce from four to two the number of unrelated people who can live in single-family neighborhoods.
The ordinance was proposed by Lawrence residents who wanted to reduce party houses in family neighborhoods, provide affordable housing for families and keep children in city-center elementary schools.
Holly Krebs, Student Senate
Rights Committee representative, said the city should wait for the recent nuisance-house ordinance to take effect before considering the proposed ordinance.
"If you restrict students they will be forced to live in apartment complexes," she said. "With higher demand apartments could charge higher prices."
Arly Allen, Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods representative, said the proposed ordinance was meant to revitalize neighborhoods.
"Our whole point is to bring families back into neighborhoods," he said.

Watkins now offering Hepatitis B vaccine shots
Watkins Memorial Health Center is offering free Hepatitis B shots to students who are 18-yearsold or younger or have insurance coverage for vaccinations. For students that don't qualify, the shots cost $20 to $30.
Hepatitis B, or inflammation of the liver, can be spread through sexual intercourse or contact with cuts, sores, razors or srivers.
Randall Rock, Watkins chief of staff, said people that caught the virus usually appeared to be well or had flui-like symptoms for which they did not seek help.
"Symptoms might include loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, aches, headache, or sore throat." Rock said.
Rock said that there were serious health risks if the virus went untreated. The virus can damage the liver, which could lead to a transplant and a risk of developing liver cancer.
There are ways to reduce the chances of infection, Rock said, including practicing better hygiene, using condoms and avoidin sharing needles.
The vaccination is a three-part series:
one initial booster, another shot one month later and the last shot six months after that.

Rack advises students that quality to come in as soon as possible because of the limited supply of shots.

Professors awarded space-Internet grant
Two University of Kansas faculty members are working to make outer space the next frontier for the Internet with the help of a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Gary Minden and Joe Evans, professors of electrical engineering and computer science, were awarded the two-year $362,000 grant to research, design and test a prototype for a space-based Internet system.
The system would improve communication between orbiting satellites and between satellites and Earth, said Judith Galas, the public relations and marketing coordinator of the Information and Telecommunication Technology Center. The center is a place of support for faculty research.
She said that an Internet-based system was more elastic than the satellite computer system and could reroute information if part of the network malfunctioned.

Galas said the benefits of easier and faster communication between Earth and orbiting satellites would be widespread. For instance, an agricultural agency in Kansas could request aerial images of farmers' fields from the NASA Web page, which would be transmitted from a satellite via the space-based Internet system.

A man wearing a ski mask and carrying a black handgun entered the Texaco at 1415 W. Sixth St. at 10:21 p.m. Monday while the store owner was on the phone, Det. M.T. Brown said. A customer and a friend of the owner also were in the store. Brown said the suspect yelled at the man to get down, came across the counter and pointed the gun at the owner as the owner lowered himself to the floor.
Brown said the man took an undisclosed amount of cash from the register and left before police arrived. This was the second time in a month that this store was robbed, Brown said.

Two convenience stores across the street from one another were robbed during the holiday weekend, Lawrence police said.
The suspect was described as a white male, about 5-feet-8-inches tall and 175 pounds.
The customer called 911 from his cell phone during the robbery.
The other robbery occurred at 8:40 p.m.
Saturday at Fastlane Conoco, 1414 W.
Sixth St., Brown said. A man wearing a ski mask and carrying a handgun entered the store and demanded money from the register. The man ordered the clerk to the floor and left with an undisclosed amount of cash. The suspect was described as a white male between 6-feet-3' and 6-feet-5' inches tall.

The woman said that a man entered her bedroom and joined her in bed. She thought it was her boyfriend, who was sleeping in another part of the house. She said it was dark in the bedroom and that the sun was rising as the man began to leave. She realized it had not been her boyfriend and screamed as he left.
District Attorney Christine Tonkovich said that her office did not have adequate information to file charges. The man was released at 3:18 p.m. Sunday from the Douglas County Jail.

Environmentalists criticize state's water proposals
The state is considering changing regulations to allow wastewater treatment plants and private companies to release more ammonia into rivers.
Federal and state officials say the new regulations should have minimal impact.
regulations should have minimal impact But with Kansas ranked at or near the bottom for the quality of its water, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment is going the wrong way in considering the new standards, environmentalists say.
Lawrence is spending that money in its $40 million expansion and renovation of its wastewater treatment plant. The project includes two large aeration basins that allow microbes to process the ammonia.
Without the ammonia rules, the basins would need to be only about half as large, said Dave Wagner, city wastewater plant superintendent.
Wagner said relaxing the standards may give the Lawrence plant a little more breathing room as the city grows.

Speaker praises state's committment to Internet availability in classrooms
Special to the Kansan
By Brandon Stinnett
The bond between education and technology is growing across the nation.
Linda Roberts, special adviser to U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley, spoke to a group of about 25 last night at a reception in Adams Alumni Center.
Regional Technology Education Consortium, an organization comprised of KU faculty and students, sponsored the speech.
Roberts praised Kansas for its continued commitment to integrating technology with statewide curriculum. She cited the state's use of the Technology Literacy Challenge fund, a federal grant awarded to states to help
schools improve technology
"I don't know of any other state that has thought about students as much," Roberts said.
She said Kansas served as a model for the practical application of technology.
Roberts said that the United States had made great strides in classroom technology since she took office in 1992.
Eight years ago, only 33 percent of schools and 3 percent of classrooms were connected to the Internet. Those numbers have increased to 70.
Roberts attributed the success to lofty goals, such as complete classroom Internet access by this year, set by the Department of Education.
Roberts said she encouraged a continued focus to bring all
Kansas schools up-to-date with technology.
"Until every school is part of a network, than no school is part of the network," she said. "Focus on getting all schools to the cutting edge of technology."
"Linda is kind of the eyes and ears for us from the White House in terms of technology." James said.
Jayne James, associate director of R*TEC, said Roberts was considered among the nation's leaders in the growing world of education technology.
Roberts stopped at the University of Kansas on her way to Kansas City to take part in a round-table discussion with Rep. Dennis Moore, D-Kan., today at the Shawnee City Center.

Med Center in negotiations for Menninger partnership
By J. D. McKee
writer@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas Medical Center is among at least two health care organizations pursuing a partnership with the Menninger Clinic of Topeka.
Gov. Bill Graves has been leading an effort to keep the clinic in Kansas after Menninger announced in June that it would have to leave Topeka because of declining revenues.
But Patrick Burnau, senior vice president of Meningerian, confirmed that the clinic intended to stay in Topeka, though he said no decision on the national research center had been made.
"I do not anticipate a hasty decision." Burnau said.
Burnau said Menninger was looking for the best location and the best opportunity to reach out to people nationwide. He also said it would consider the financial resources available, although the main goal for Menninger was to be the preeminent psychiatric
group in the nation.
Chancellor Robert Memenway said he thought it would be difficult to tell at this point what Menninger would do.
"KU and the governor worked hard to put together an attractive proposal to keep Menninger in Kansas," Hemenway said. "But Menninger will still have to decide where its people will be deployed."
Menninger also is concerned about maintaining the quality of its clinical care, Hemenway said. Staying in Kansas, however, could have significant advantages.
The central benefit, Hemenway said, would be having two major and successful medical organizations coming together.
"The sum of the partnership would be greater than the individual parts," Hemenway said.
The financial perks the partnership would bring to the University are yet to be determined because a lot of negotiating remains and contracts must be established.
Don Brown, communications
director for the governor, said he was wary of predicting what Menninger would do.
"I'm quite certain that Menninger will look at all the options and take time before making any decisions," Brown said. "This will affect them and the future of thousands of employees."
Brown said because of the aggressive path Kansas took, he thought that the Kansas talks were more advanced than others. Kansas has been proactive, Brown said, ever since it became aware of Meninger's situation.
But Brown said he was confident that a part of Menninger would remain in Kansas.
"We were the first to respond," he said. "We didn't wait for Menninger to come to us and ask what we could do for them."
"The key is where the national research center will be," he said.
Meningen's executive board is expected to make a final decision by the end of the month, Burnau said.

KANSAS CITY — The Kidney Institute at the University of Kansas Medical Center received a $1.95 million grant from the National Institutes of Health that will help create a new home for the institute.

because of excellent science and excellent clinical work," said Jared Grantham, a nephrologist and professor at the Med Center. "We know we have excellent science because we compete with the Harvards and Yales for funding. And we have a kidney transplant program with the best outcomes in a four-state region."
The disease affects more than 600,000 Americans each year and is the most common of all life-threatening genetic diseases.
Med Center, the institute said. Earlier this year, the Kidney Institute received three National Institutes of Health grants worth about $12 million. Those grants are being used to study polycystic kidney disease, a life-threatening genetic disorder for which there is no known cure or treatment; establish a PKD research center at the medical campus; and conduct magnetic resonance imaging of the kidneys of patients with PKD.

Med Center, the institute said.
The new home for the Kidney Institute will be about 20,000 square feet, nearly twice the size of the current center. It will bring together 35 researchers who now work at different locations around the campus.
The project is scheduled to be complete in winter of 2002.

Affirmative action still has a place
For comments, contact Ben Embry or Emily Hughey at 864-4924 or e-mail opinion@kansan.com
One of the Kansan columnists last week attacked affirmative action Affirmative action is merely a form of reverse discrimination, he argued, and should be eliminated.
But he said affirmative action remained because it was "sold to the public as an innocent expansion of opportunity to historically disadvantaged minorities." The flaw in that statement is the implication that minorities are no longer disadvantaged.
Right now, many do.
Can workers legally be fired because of their race, gender, religion, or national origin? Not overtly, no. Well, now that we're all equal in the eyes of the law,
doesn't that mean we're all equal citizens? Far from it.
Can non-Caucasians vote now without getting lynched? Yes. Do all races drink out of the same water fountain? Yes. Do our children go to the same schools?
PETER BURKE
Let me take you on a brief tour of my life as a Caucasian.
Protestant male American. I grew up in a small town with little crime and a pretty safe high school. No one I knew growing up was ever shot, stabbed or mugged. When I was 17, I got my first real job in part because my dad knew my employers. I got scholarships out the ying-yang to go to Ottawa University, a great private Christian liberal arts college just south of Lawrence, in part because of my hard work and good grades in high school but also because my parents were alumni and I am an American Baptist. While at Ottawa, a professor who had also instructed my dad, hooked me up with an internship with an alumnus who worked in one of Kansas City's biggest law firms. Also while at Ottawa, I interviewed for a class project another successful alumnus who had attended school with my dad, practiced law and served in state government. When I met him again three years later, he gave me a tip on a great internship opportunity that wasn't posted or advertised anywhere.
Dave Grummon
guest columnist
gopenion@kansan.com
I got the internship, worked at it this summer, and it could turn into a very stable and successful job when I graduate.
I have never been followed around or harassed when I go shopping. I have never been pulled over and frisked just because I was of the wrong race in the wrong part of town. Taxis have never passed me by because of my color. If I carry a beeper, no one assumes I'm a drug dealer.
I have never been sexually harassed on the job. I don't have to work extra hard to win the same respect the rest of my colleagues have. It's unlikely I'll ever get paid less for doing the same job a coworker of the other gender does.
I wish I could say my experience is common for all young men and women in America today. But I have talked with too many African-American and Latino and female friends to let myself believe I haven't benefited in my society from being a Caucasian male. Every day, in many ways I never think about, I take advantage of what is still a racist and sexist society. Not recognizing this smacks of arrogance. In the eyes of the law, all citizens may be considered equal, but in the eyes of our society, people who look like me seem to be the most equal
look like we meet again I have worked hard. I have been blessed. I am thankful for it. None of the advantages I've been given were even remotely racist or wrong acts in themselves. But they are reasons why affirmative action is sometimes right. We've come a long way and we're still making progress. But until the advantages and opportunities I receive daily are given to everyone, simply saying everybody's equal does not guarantee equal treatment. Until that time, affirmative action still has a place in America.

But a relaxed tone and anonymity don't mean the opinion line has to focus only on juvenile, low-brow humor. If you're craving that, plop down in front of the television and tune in to South Park. Just don't call us to regurgitate every funny line.

A vote for Nader is not a wasted vote
In the last three days, two Kansan columns have deemed a vote for Green Party Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader "meaningless." Nothing could be further from the truth. A "meaningless" vote is one that endorses the existing Republicrat duopoly.
Alternatives to the two major parties are important. Just witness Jesse Ventua's victory in 1988 and Ross Perot's significant campaign in 1992 for recent examples. Ralph Nader and the Green Party represent a better future for American politics and a clear alternative from politics as usual. Vote meaningfully; and vote your conscience.
Although a presidential win for Nader is certainly not in the cards, a victory was never the stated goal of his campaign. Rather, Nader's purpose has been to raise issues ignored by Bush/Gore and to move the Green Party closer to existence as a significant third party alternative. What makes supporting Nader so meaningful is that
receipt of 5 percent of the vote guarantees the party federal funding in the next election. This goal is within reach, but not assured.
Mark Cooper Hays senior
Editorial
Democracy opens doors to debate
Third-party candidates should be allowed in presidential debates.
While voters can take their pick from George Bush, Al Gore, Ralph Nader and a grab-bag Reform candidate (either Pat Buchanan or John Hagelin) this election season, don't expect to see all these candidates and their sidekicks duking it out during the presidential debates. The Commission on Presidential Debates, the non-profit, non-governmental corporation that organizes the presidential debates is crafting an old-fashioned, two-party debate. In this political climate of voter distrust, the corporation should organize a set of fair and open debates among all the viable presidential contenders.
"The neutral" corporation is co-chaired by Frank Fahrenkopf, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Paul Kirk, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Bipartisan leadership may provide neutral oversight in a two-party, two-candidate election. But in this year's presidential smorgasbord, Ralph Nader, Green Party nominee, and the unresolved Reform party nominee are clearly fighting an uphill battle.
Attempting to settle claims that the 1996 Clinton-Dole debates were arbitrarily rigged to exclude Perot, the corporation established new guidelines in January for determining which candidates are eligible to participate in the debates. The new policy requires candidates to gain the support of at least 15 percent of the national electorate, averaged over five public polls, in order to be eligible. Currently, both Nader and the Reform candidate fall short of the 15 percent mark.
The corporation's selection of a 15 percent standard is highly suspect. The Federal Elections Commission, the government
organization charged with regulating elections, provides federal funds to a presidential campaign if that candidate's party received more than 5 percent of the total vote in the last presidential election. Although it hasn't happened yet, the corporation's policies make it possible that a federally funded presidential candidate would be denied entrance into presidential debates. The corporation's decision to depart from the FEC's 5 percent standard also favors the Republican and Democratic parties.
With the media's disproportionate coverage of Bush and Gore, registered Republicans and Democrats who may have swung to Nader or Reform are likely to vote for only Bush or Gore when the corporation polls.
Asking the public to make an educated decision on who they would vote for before the debates is illogical. The debates should be an opportunity for citizens to learn about the candidates and their stances on issues, not a means for the Republican and Democratic parties to maintain political power.
The power of the presidential debates to educate voters on alternatives was never more evident than in the 1992 elections, Ross Perot, with about 7 percent of the public support, was invited by former president George Bush and Bill Clinton to the presidential debates despite the corporation's misgivings that he wasn't a significant presidential candidate. When election day came, Perot captured nearly 20 percent of the total vote. Moreover, the 1992 elections were marked by the highest voter turnout since 1972, with 61.3 percent of registered voters actually voting.
The corporation is another puppet of the two-party system. In an era increasingly characterized by voter apathy and frustration, opening the debates to candidates outside the two major parties could help restore legitimacy and excitement to this oh-so Washington election season.

Pelfanio struggles in SMU game
Jayhawks' punter surprised by penalty from his illegal kick
By Allan Davis sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Joey Pelfanio, senior punter,
had a nightmarish first quarter
against Southern Methodist
Saturday night.
On his second punt attempt of the game, he bobbled the snap and attempted to run for the first down. He was tackled at the 18-yard line and failed to make the first down.
SMU took possession and drove for their second touchdown,putting them ahead 14.0. Pelfanio said he was looking at
team and dropped the snap.
"I didn't see it until it was about five feet from me," he said.
the shift of the SMU punt-block team and dropped the snap.
Pelfantoio's third punt attempt of the first quarter was partially blocked by the Mustangs' Kevin Aldridge. The ball traveled only seven yards, SMU, with good field position, added a field goal and went ahead 17-0.
"I know one of their guys came through pretty much untouched through our line," Pelfanio said.
On Pelfanio's fourth punt attempt, the snap from center went well over his head and rolled toward the Jayhawks' own zone. Pelfanio caught up with the ball at the 1-yard line and kicked it through the
back of the end zone, which he thought would result in a twopoint safety. The Mustangs, however, could have scored a touchdown had recovered it in the end zone.
KATI
The officials called a penalty on Pelfiano for illegally kicking the ball and awarded SMU the ball at the Jayhawks' 1-yard line. T h e Mustangs quickly scored
putting the Jayhawks behind 24-0 in the first quarter.
Puffinio: Troubles began early when he was tackled and failed to complete a first down in the first quarter
"You know, I didn't even know that was a penalty," Pelfanio said. "I've seen it happen before, and I tried to kick it through the end zone because I didn't want them to get a touchdown, and I didn't know that you couldn't do that. I think it caught everyone by surprise."
Kansas coach Terry Allen said he was amazed by the punt team's performance.
"We practice that every day." Allen said. "We dropped one that was right in his hands. We snapped it over his head. We missed a protection scheme. We just dug ourselves a hole we couldn't get out of."

It was Friday afternoon, and students were trickling off campus to celebrate Labor Day weekend. But not Brice Molyer.
Barbara D. Malver
As Lewis Hall's third-floor resident assistant, McLver, a Topeka junior, took the weekend as a chance to relax after a hectic first two weeks as an RA.
"There's about 15 or 20 out of 50 gone, so it might be a little boring." McIver said. "But for my case, there's plenty of people in town that can come over and hang out."
McIver, who lived in Templin his freshman year and on the third floor in Lewis last year, is new to being an RA, and he and his residents agree that he has spent the first weeks of school adjusting from his role as a resident to RA.
"We like to call him 'dad,'" said Anna Gregory, Topeka freshman and one of the third-floor residents.
Although Melver may not be a parent to the residents on his floor, his role as an RA is a unique combination of friend, big brother and authority figure.
"They call me 'dad' as a joking term, but there's a little truth to it," Melver said. "I'm sort of watching over them, making sure they're being safe, getting their stuff done, getting their priorities straight."
That means reaching out to residents to help everyone get comfortable with each other. he said.
And as a computer engineering major, Gregory said, Mclver comes in handy when it comes to math questions or computer troubles.
"And, you know, when you cry, he holds you," Gregory joked.
AN RA's job, however, is not all lobby games and friendly chats with his flormates. Lewis Hall RAS are required to staff the front desk six hours a week and deal with residents who forget their keys and are locked out.
Duties, drinking and dram$ \rho $
"I'm not enthusiastic about dealing with that," he said. "They're often over petty things, and the roommates don't talk to each other first before running to the RA."
They also serve as mediators in roommate conflicts — something that McLiver said he wasn't looking forward to.
And then there are fire alarms and alcohol.
When a fire alarm sounds, RAs are responsible for clearing the building, locking doors, locating the fire — if there is one — and communicating to the fire department, McVeaver said.
RAs enforce University policies prohibiting alcohol on campus. Although McIver said he hadn't had to deal with any infractions, it could be a tough situation.
"It kind of hard to get caught since RAS aren't allowed to enter the room without permission," he said. "If you're being loud and noisy and yelling 'Bring me more beer,' yeah, you're going to get caught."
McIver is also responsible for cleaning up after drunken residents who have vomited and calling the hospital if someone is extremely drunk or ill.
When it comes to drinking, however, McLiver said that enforcing the policies wasn't the only adjustment he'd had to make. RAs aren't permitted to go out with residents to parties or even be at a party where underage residents are drinking.
"That situation is sort of werd because I went out and paried with these guys last year, but this year I can't," he said.
McIver isn't the only one adjusting to that change. Vincent Lei, Topeka sophomore and third-floor Lewis resident, was McIver's roommate last year.
"he can't even give me a ride to a party." Lei said. "It's a little strange, but we deal with it."
Getting the job
In some cases we ask the survivors participate in a group interview with four or five other candidates. Then, each candidate interviews with the complex directors and RAs of each building.
Candidates who make it to round three are interviewed by complex directors from individual buildings. Selected candidates are informed in late March or early April of their building assignments.
The three-part application process of becoming an RA can be time-consuming, McLver said. First, there's a written application with essay questions and recommendations due in February. The Department of Student Housing makes its first round of cuts based on those applications.
"It's sort of intimidating," Melver said. "You have three people asking you questions, and you're wondering if you're giving good answers. It's pretty nerve-racking."
mcIver, along with other new RAs, moved into the halls Aug. 10 to complete training in crisis handling, security duties, check in procedure and leadership skills.
Sacrifices and rewards
As compensation for their work, RAs get a free room, 19 meals a week at Mrs. E's and $20 a week.
As part of the deal, though, RAS are encouraged to take only 15 credit hours and to cut back on time-consuming extracurricular activities. For McLiver, that meant giving up his position in the Student Association of the United Methodist Campus Ministry and being president of the Computing Society.
"They need you to be available most of the time, to be around for questions or problems," McIver said. "I think it would be possible for me to keep my other activities, but it would have been pretty hard."
One aspect of the job that McIver said he didn't anticipate was the amount of paperwork.
"There was a lot of setting up work before the residents got here," he said. "We had room inventory checks, identification cards that gave the rooms' telephone numbers and mailbox combinations, helping set up the floor government and signing the floor up as a registered student organization."
The other major sacrifice an RA makes is his or her flexibility in traveling. If an RAs want to leave town or be gone for an entire night, they must put in a request in advance.
Despite that, Mclver said he tries to get off campus once in a while to get away from people.
So even though McLiver couldn't escape school or the hall during Labor Day weekend, he still planned to enjoy it.
"Even my boss encourages us to get out every now and then," he said. "They like us to be around, but they also realize they we've got to get out once in a while or we'll go crazy."
"I'm going to head back to Topeka and pick some stuff up from my parents' house, then maybe play some putt-putt or watch a movie," he said Friday. "Basically, I'm just going to relax tonight and do some more work tomorrow."

Fans made trek to Texas; must attend at home,too
Saturday afternoon in Dallas had so much promise.
it was the start of a new season, one with high expectations. A strong contingent of Jayhawk fans made the long drive to Texas to support Kansas football in its season opener and crammed into a corner of Southern Methodist's new Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
And what better place to start a season than in Dallas, the heart of football country? Texans live for the fall football season. Even a local high school game drew 15,000 fans Friday evening.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks poured onto the field shortly before 6 p.m. and appeared hungry for a road win and a strong start to the season. Fireworks filled the sky after the national anthem and goose bumps seemed the norm, as if something big was going to happen.
It did. SMU scored 24 points faster than the thermometer hit 105.
I had a sunburn from swimming Saturday afternoon, but that was no big deal. Surely the new football season would take my mind off the unfavorable skin condition. But then SMU went on a tear, and the excursion to Dallas that was supposed to be fun suddenly wasn't.
Frustration and disbelief set in as visions of last year's San Diego State debacle danced in my head. These bad things that were happening to the Jayhawks were devastating to the Kansas contingent at SMU.
Supposedly about 3,000 Jayhawk fans were at the game. And judging by the noise Kansas fans made before SMU touched the ball, the estimate was accurate.
It was great to see so many fans on the road following the Jayhawks in something other than basketball. Unfortunately, the Hawks have had a hard time keeping a solid football fan base in the past. If teams aren't in a national championship hunt, fair-weather fans tend to iump ship abruptly.
Hopefully those in attendance Saturday will help fill Memorial Stadium this season. If most of those Kansas fans drove from Lawrence for the game, surely they'll be on hand in two weeks when the 'Hawks play host to Alabama-Brimingham on Sept. 16.
One Jayhawk fan at the SMU game might want to take some time off, though.
The supporter, who probably had some strong beverages before the game, was informing Mustang fans near him about former receiver Michael Chandler's infamous gunshot wound to the groin from last year.
When the Jayhawks finally scored, the apparently uneducated fan encouraged everyone to "wave the wind," instead of the usually preferred waving of the wheat
Oh well, it was something to laugh about in an otherwise rough evening. And hopefully, future Kansas games this year won't need laughs to break up the monotony of being on the losing side of the scoreboard.
The Jayhawks still have so much football left, but a golden opportunity to start on the road with a win, especially with such fan support, was incredibly wasted.

Practices become more upbeat after another road defeat
By Jason Franchuk

Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da.
Players gently chided one another yesterday in drills, regaining the competitive spirit that had been sapped from them Saturday. Once again, after a few days of aches and pains that tend to stick around a little longer after a loss, the players were smiling and encouraging one another to get through Saturday's setback, a 31-17 loss at Southern Methodist University.
Early in practice, senior running back Moran Norris charged forward, plowing through teammates. Onlookers cheered. Coach Terry Allen, who normally allows his assistants to do the majority of boosting and scolding, even clapped.
Life goes on.
And senior safety Carl Nesmith, the team's vocal center, is back after sitting out Saturday for breaking a conduct rule sometime before the season started.
"The Butcher Shop was closed last week." Nesmith said, "It's open now."
week," Nesmith said. "It's open now. Nesmith presented the Butcher Shop theme at the Big 12 Conference Media Day in Kansas City, Mo., but was arrested later that night for an outstanding warrant of driving with a suspended license, which is speculated to be the reason Nesmith did not play in the opener. But just like his teammates, he's back and ready to play again.
"I think I could have helped a lot," he said. "I don't know about winning because it still takes 22 guys. I think
the guys needed some inspiration."
So now Nesmith can help Kansas carve through its schedule.
After this week's bye, Kansas plays Alabama-Birmingham and Southern Illinois at home before hitting the road again at Oklahoma. The Jayhawks are 1-15 on the road under Terry Allen.
The trick for Kansas right now is to convince itself that it can make up ground after what could have been a momentum-building win to start the season.
But the Jayhawks are sick of dwelling on another road opportunity that slipped away:
Out of anybody, Garcia should be able to stay optimistic despite Saturday's game. The senior nailed a 23-yard field goal and both extra-point attempts.
"The season is still young," said kicker Joe Garcia. "We still have 10 games to play."
One small step for Garcia's foot, one large step for his psyche after missing 11 of 18 field goals last year along with two extra point attempts. Garcia also missed four of eight of his field goals that were within 30 yards.
"He made them." Allen said. "That's all you can ask."
Besides Garcia, Allen mentioned newcomer Roger Ross and defensive back Andrew Davison as standouts. Ross, a transfer from Garden City Community College, caught a team high four passes for 61 yards. Davison, who struggled like Garcia last year, played solid in the secondary.
But now Kansas is left to convince itself that there's still so much to play for, and that it does not matter that it is 0-1 instead of 1-0. Allen said that practice Monday, Kansas 'first since it returned to Lawrence, was sluggish. But yesterday's practice showed improvement.
"Kids sometimes are a little more resilient than the coaches," Allen said.

'Hawks to face Shockers in team's home opener

The Jayhawks, in contrast, finished 17-14 and set a new school record by winning eight Big 12 Conference matches last season.
But Kansas coach Ray Bechard is still skeptical, even though the last time these two teams met, the Jayhawks swept the Shockers 15-10, 15-2, 15-6.
While on paper tonight's match seems to be just a beefed-up practice, Bechard and his team won't let this one slide by.

Chris Lamb took the helm at Wichita State after a successful career at California State-Bakersfield, where he helped the volleyball team to four straight appearances in the NCAA DII division II volleyball Final Four.
The Shockers do have a pair of middle hitters that are an offensive/defensive force to be reckoned with. Junior Carrie Gerth leads the team with 26 kills on the season, while her 6-foot2 counterpart, senior Amy Smith, led the team with 40 solo blocks and 79 block assists last season.
Kansas is led by a pair of senior outside hitters, Amy Myatt and Nancy Bell, who lead the 'Hawks with 52 and
35 kills, respectively, on the season:
With tonight's opener, Richard is gearing up his team for a comeback.
"I think we're just using all week to prepare for next Wednesday," Bechard said, "which is the conference opener."

Soccer teammates learn to connect at Creighton

After suffering two consecutive losses, the Kansas women's soccer team bounced back and defeated Creighton 4-1 Monday in Omaha. Neb.
The more they understand one another, the better they play.
Coach Mark Francis said the team had a meeting at its hotel Sunday to discuss what they could do to improve its performance on the field.
The key to success was connection.
"I think that made the difference." Francis said about the meeting. "Also, they were just tired of losing, and I think players really picked it up."
Junior forward Natalie Hoogveld agreed.
"We were in control of the game, winning the game comfortably and then we blew it."
Mark Francis
women's soccer coach
"That meeting was important because it helped a lot of newcomers get to know the older people," she said. "I think the couple of games we struggled, we've been learning new formation, just learning to understand each other and how we play on the field."
Hoogweld had a goal and two assists in Monday's game, but seemed to care more about the team than her individual performance.
Kansas opened the season strongly on Aug. 25 with a 3-0 victory against Northwestern, but didn't play well in a 4-0 loss against Illinois two days later. Francis said that except for two or three players, the team looked tired. He thought the same Kansas team that had dominated Northwestern didn't show up on the field for the game against Illinois.
"I got some results, so I guess that's a good thing," she said. "We connected a lot of things, and I just happened to be there for the goals."
Although the Jayhawks lost to St. Louis University 3-2 Friday, they pushed the defending Conference USA champion hard and almost upset the Bidikens.
"The team definitely got better," Francis said. "We actually played well on Friday. They were probably the best team we've
played.
"We were in control of the game, winning the game comfortably and then we blew it. Even though we played well Friday, I think everybody was very disappointed how we lost."
Francis said the Creighton victory was a big boost to the 'Hawks self-esteem.
we scored four goals and created a lot of chances," he said. "So I think that's going to give the team confidence."
The Jayhawks would like to accomplish two goals this year: Making the Big 12 Conference tournament and breaking a winning record. Hoogveld said achieving the goals was realistic for this year's team.
"I think we have everything we need," she said. "We've got the players to do it. We just have to connect on the field."

Students say dress code at bar is discriminatory

When Curtis Dixon showed up at Jack Flanigan's wearing track pants, he was sent home to change.
"They told me I couldn't get in," said Dixon, a Kansas City, Kan., sophomore. "They said I had to be a basketball player or a hot girl to get in."
Dixon's attire violated the bar's dress code, which prohibits gym clothes and men in tank tops.
which prohibits gym clothes and men in tank tops. The code also forbids FUBU brand clothing and corn row braids, two rules some University of Kansas students find objectionable.

Excess revenues to repay bond on parking garage
By Rob Pazell
By Rob Pazell
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas Parking Department looks for a successful football season to help pay for the new parking garage, which opened in August to visitors, students, faculty and staff, east of Memorial Stadium.
Don Kearns, director of parking services, said revenues from misused fees, events, garage tolls, meters and KU home football games would pay for the multimillion dollar garage.
"My biggest hope is that KU starts winning home football games," he said.
The $7.6 million garage was paid for by a bond through the Kansas Development Finance Authority. The KU Parking Department, which doesn't receive state funds, was approved for the 15-year bond on May 1, 1999. Kearns said the bond was worth $11.1 million with a 4.6 percent interest rate and would be paid by April 1, 2014.
The parking department will pay $245,905 in interest every October then pay the same amount of interest plus the $565,000 principal due in April. Kearns said the total came close to $1 million a year, which the parking department planned to pay on time.
"We've never missed a payment, and we're not planning on it," Kearns said.
He said that the parking department hoped garage tolls, which cost $1 an hour, and football parking, which costs $10 per game, would help pay for the garage.
The garage sold out of its 101 permits for faculty and staff, which cost $100 to $155, depending on permit color. The parking department has not sold all 200 student permits and is still accepting applications for the $80 tags.
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking services, said the garage wasn't full yet, which surprised some students who came to check on their permit status.
Hultine said she planned on having a lottery if too many applications were filled out, but because the parking department hadn't received the expected 200 applications by Friday, Sept. 1, those who apply now will be considered on a first-come-first-serve basis.
"They were really happy when they came in," she said. "Everybody who applied early was lucky."
When the 200 permits are sold out, applicants will be put on a waiting list. Hultine said the parking department was notifying students by email or telephone.
"It's a slow process because I just don't have the staff to do it," she said. Hultine said more students were applying now and expected the garage to be full by tomorrow.

Water embargo,heat make grounds brown

Kansan staff writer
High temperatures and water restrictions have sucked the life out of the landscape on campus.
Last week, the University of Kansas received a restriction on water after Lawrence reached record-high water usage. The restriction has caused dozens of flowers and shrubs around campus to wither and die.
To some students, these factors make the campus look ugly.
Last week, Provost David Shulenburger issued the restriction as part of a citywide request to conserve water. The restriction included shutting off sprinklers and fountains around campus.
Casey Kelley, Golden, Colo., senior, said she noticed the effects the restriction had on the landscape.
"It's depressing to see dead flowers and plants all over campus," she said. "It makes the campus look sad and sort of ugly."
Lindsay Douglas, St. Louis senior, said that the shutting off of the Chi Omega fountain was heartbreaking.
The provost also requested that the watering of flowers and shrubbery or other forms of landscaping be halted until the temperatures dropped.
"Every year I look forward to playing in the fountain on hot days, but I guess I can't this year." she said.
Gayle Martin, Lawrence communications coordinator, said the restriction came after the city's water usage reached soaring levels last week.
"We pumped 25 million gallons of treated water one day, then when we asked the University and Parks and Recreations to conserve, it helped drop down to about 22 million gallons yesterday," she said.
The city reduced water use in areas, keeping some flowers and grass growing, but the University stopped watering altogether, which browned much of the landscape.
Wayne Reusch, assistant director of landscape for the University, said the restriction has had a detrimental toll on the landscape around campus.
"I have no idea on what all is dead, but it can't be in too good of shape," he said.
Reusch said he thought most of the plants and flowers were damaged or dead, but it would be hard to tell for sure until the spring.
"If the break in the weather continues we won't have to do any rationing, which is good news," she said.
Martin said that with deflating temperatures, she thought that water wouldn't be as in demand.
He doesn't know how long the restriction will be in effect, but Reusch thinks it will end soon with the recent decline in temperature.

Skin cancer risks exist beyond summer months

Though summer vacation has ended, students still are at a risk for developing skin cancer. Even if the only beach they visit is Wescoe Beach.

Kansan staff writer
According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is increasing more rapidly than any other form of cancer, and one million people will be diagnosed with a form of skin cancer in the United States this year.
Myra Strother, physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said students should be aware of three types of cancer beware of viruses and worms
Melanoma, according to the American Cancer society, is responsible for 75 percent of deaths because of its tendency to spread to other parts of the body.
Basal cancer, the most common of the three, mainly appears on faces and ears. It can start out as a mole and Strother said if it was detected, it could be cured.
Strother said there were certain factors that put people at risk. A childhood filled with severe burns or blisters from too much sun or a family history of skin cancer can put a student risk. Students
Squamous cell cancer is more aggressive than basal because it has the tendency to spread quicker underneath the skin.
with fair skin and light hair, such as blondes and red heads, are also at a higher risk.
While most people tend to think skin cancer only occurs among older people, it is becoming more common in young people.
Emily Derseau, Lawrence senior, has recently started thinking about the
dangers involved with suntanning.
Strother also said weekend tanners — people who exposed themselves to the
"My mom had skin cancer when she was in her 40s and that puts me at a high risk," Derusseau said. "I am very careful not to go out in the sun without protection, but it is still hard to think long term when you're in your 20s."
Remember your ABCs to detect if those suspicious-looking bumps, sores or moles are cancerous:
IDENTIFYING SKIN CANCER
A stands for asymmetry. If you were to cut the mole in half and the halves don't match, it could be cancerous.
B stands for border. If the border around the mole is irregular in shape, seek medical attention.
C stands for color. The color should be the same all around the mole.

sun for long periods of time a day or two a week were also at risk because infrequent long periods in the sun usually ended in burns.
Strother said people in the sun needed to use a sunscreen with a skin protection factor of at least 15 to be effective. They should apply sunscreen a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes before heading out in the sun.
If sun block isn't readily available, students should try to stay out of the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The keys to remaining free from skin cancer are to research family history, keep an eye out for suspicious looking bumps and remember that the sun isn't always your friend.

Honors program booms with 452 new students
The number of students in the University Honors Program has increased dramatically since 1995
This year 452 students entered the program, up from 399 last year and 251 in 1995. Barbara Schowan, director of the honors program, said the numbers reflected better public about the honors program through recruitment of National Merit Finalists and other quality high school graduates.
Schowen also said the numbers could reflect the rising number of graduating high school seniors in Kansas and the fact that the average ACT score of all students at the University of Kansas has increased.
Schowen estimated that there are 1,700 to 1,800 students in the honors program. A final number will be known once official enrollment counts are released later this month.
GTA coalition prepares for contract negotiations
A group representing graduate teaching assistants has notified the University of Kansas of its intent to open negotiations on its contract.

Ophra Leyser, GTAC president, said the group was interested in higher wages and fees, better health insurance and an extension of benefits to more GTAs.
Leyser said current negotiations would begin in October and could take most of this semester.

A preliminary hearing for a former Kansas football player charged with felony counts of aggravated robbery and kidnapping will be continued next week.
Former player's hearing begins with testimony
The hearing for Dion C. Johnson, 23, began yesterday. Johnson, who ended his KU football career last season as a senior, is accused of masterminding the robbery of a 21-year-old KU student on June 27.
The student testified yesterday in Douglas County District Court that two males robbed his home at 10:30 p.m. June 27 in the 1700 block of Kentucky Street.
The student said a man knocked on his door and asked, "is this where the party's at?" and pulled out a gun. The man then came inside and led the student to a side door, where the man held a gun to the student's head and let in an armed 17-year-old boy.
The two males left with an undisclosed amount of cash and marijuana, said the 17-year-old boy, who pleaded no contest to the aggravated robbery charge and testified yesterday in Johnson's hearing. The other suspect did not testify.
After the robbery, Johnson took them back to his house, where the two returfed the guns. Johnson then took the boy to a motel, where he and Johnson were arrested the next morning
Johnson did not testify at yesterday's hearing. The student said he knew Johnson because the two had traded drugs.

Genetically engineered food needs to be more carefully regulated before it hits supermarkets, panelists agreed during a discussion yesterday at Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
One-third of Kansas corn plants and half of the state's soybean crop are genetically enhanced, said Paul Johnson, head of the Organic Farmers Cooperative of Kansas. Four years ago, less than two percent of each had been genetically altered, he said.
Bill Wood, agent for agriculture at Kansas State's Douglas County Extension, said methods for enhancing crops needed to be looked at individually.

Bar bans FUBU, corn rows
The name was not the only thing to change. Langstons was originally a hip-hop bar, but it was closed after parking lot shootings in 1996 and 1997. Afterward, Thompson worked with the city to keep his liquor license. He quit using the name Langstons and stopped playing rap music in the hopes of attracting a new crowd.

Thompson said he has continued working with the city to prevent future problems.
David Corliss, assistant city manager, said the city's primary concern was eliminating any threat to public safety. It was left to Thompson to devise a method to accomplish that goal.
"He indicated that he was going to make some changes to his establishment that would be more conducive to public safety." Corliss said.
Those changes included the prohibition of FUBU-brand clothing one year ago and corn rows this summer. Thompson said.
Thompson pointed out, however, that most bars and dance clubs had rules restricting attire. At the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., patrons are simply required to wear a shirt and shoes. But advertisements for Tremors Night Club, 729 New Hampshire St., state: "Tremors reserves the right

Thompson maintained that he wasn't trying to single out anyone — he was just trying to make a living.

Administrators look to raise rank

Chancellor Robert Hemenway wants the University of Kansas to become one of the top 25 public universities in the next decade and one of the top 25 public and private universities within 20 years.
Hemenway outlined his plan to boost the University's national ranking yesterday afternoon to about 350 people at the faculty and staff convoction in 110 Budig Hall. His remarks came just days after the University dropped from 38 to 42 in the latest U.S.News and World Report ranking of the top 50 public universities.
To achieve a higher national ranking, Hemenway said the University should serve as a teaching and research university not only for Kansas but also the Kansas City area.
"We are a $1 billion asset for this region," he said.
The chancellor also emphasized the need to:
Seek more federal funds for research.
- Make a commitment to life sciences and information technology.
Spend more in areas such as faculty hiring, faculty salaries, scholarships and building improvements.
He also pointed to other areas in which he said the
University needed to set higher goals.
Although preliminary estimates show that the number of minority freshmen rose this year from 360 to 419. Hemenway said the University could do better.
"We have to work hard on recruiting minority students because we believe in a diverse university," he said.
While women represent about one-third of KU faculty, more need to be hired, particularly in less represented departments and schools, Hemenway said.
Provost David Shulenburger gave ways to deal with the high number and cost of scholarly books and journals. He focused on a proposal made by representatives from
universities and publishers at a conference last spring.
Some of the proposed changes included doing more to preserve print and electronic materials and focusing more on the quality instead of the number of scholarly publications when evaluating faculty.

Resource Center celebrates fifth year
More than 30 people attended an open house at the Multicultural Resource Center yesterday afternoon. The celebration, complete with balloons, cake and door prizes, marked the center's fifth year on campus.
Kansan staff writer
By Leita Schultes
Gloria Flores, assistant director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, spoke at the open house. Flores, who was the associate director of the Office of Minority Affairs when the Multicultural Resource Center opened in 1995, said the center was established to offer a different type of support for under-represented organizations at the University of Kansas.
writer@kansan.com
Student Senate was instrumental in getting the center on campus. Senate approved the resolution for a multicultural center in April 1992. By 1995, the

idea was transformed into a resource center, which now serves students, faculty, staff and the Lawrence community.
"I'm just real pleased with development over the years," Flores said. "The foundation is the students."
David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, said making the building a resource center was an important step in its development.
"If the only place we deal with multicultural issues is a multicultural center, we'll always be a drop in the bucket," he said. "The concept of this center had to be outreach."
Ambler said people were better off if they used that outreach to learn from one another.
"The concept of this center is that we all have a culture to share," he said.
Students from a variety of backgrounds were sharing those cultures yesterday afternoon.
Belinda Hinojos, Kansas City, Kan. senior, said she didn't know what organizations would do without the center.
"A lot of different groups use this building," she said, adding that for many, it serves as a student lounge.
Senate wants student input on Coke cost
By Kursten Phelps writer@kansan.com Kanson staff writer
Concerns about the recent price hike for Coca-Cola's bottled products on campus have prompted Student Senate to push for student involvement in decision-making.
The council is composed of KU administrators and Coca-Cola representatives, and it makes decisions concerning Coca-Cola's contract for exclusive selling rights at the University. The council decided
The University Affairs and Student Rights commissions last night passed a bill that calls for a petition requesting student representation on the KU/Coca-Cola Partnership Council. The issue will be voted on at Wednesday's Senate meeting.
WHAT IT MEANS
Marlon Marshall,
Student Body Vice President and co-sponsor of the bill,
said that student representation was needed so students could be informed and have input in decisions that affected them.
What happened:
The Student Senate University Affairs and Student Rights committees passed a petition requesting students be a part of the KU/Coca-Cola
at the University.
during the summer
to raise the price of
bottled soda to $1,
while keeping the price at 85 cents if
students use KUIDs in campus vending machines.
"We weren't here over the summer to hear about it and discuss with them why they wanted to increase prices," Marshall said.
Marshall said that
if the bill passed
through Senate, he
would work with

What it means:
The petition, if enacted, would place student representatives on the council, which makes decisions regarding the University's contract with Coke.
What's next:
Student Senate will vote on the petition at its meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Kansas Union.
"I think it should be open to all people who are interested," Marshall said. "It could be a presidential appointment."
the council to determine how many students would be members and how those students would be selected.
The University Senate Code requires that students constitute 20 percent of the membership of any policy-making committee of the University's schools, departments and programs. Marshall said that he would find out if the council was considered a committee that falls under that requirement.
He added that the price difference between cash and KUID purchases was an unfair way to promote use of the KUID. Grant Butler, Olathe sophomore and Student Rights committee member, said he didn't understand why the University was trying to promote KUID use.
"Are they getting a kickback or something?" he asked.

Perspective
Don't mess with AIDS treatments
Apparently, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, does not cause AIDS, and most people who are infected are "alive and well." At least that is what AIDS activist Christine Maggiore claims, as well as many of her followers, including the rock band the Foo Fighters and South African President Thabo Mbeki.
Since its discovery, HIV and AIDS have claimed the lives of more than 20 million people worldwide, so it would seem feasible to believe that those who contract the virus eventually would die from complications related to AIDS. However, as most of the general public knows, contracting HIV doesn't always prove fatal. Possibly the most famous case has been that of ex-NBA superstar Earvin "Magic" Johnson, who
superior HIV-ida has lived for a decade while being HIV positive.
This is where Maggiore, a single mother with no scientific training or college degree, comes into play. She tested positive for HIV in 1992 after she had unprotected sex with her boyfriend. Despite Maggiore's diagnosis and her doctor's wishes to initiate treatment, she refused. If she felt fine, why acknowledge having a deadly infection
Corey
Snyder
columnist
opinion@kansan.com
With this bold and unconventional idea, she founded Alive and Well, an advocacy group for the justification of HIV testing and the recall of AIDS drugs that promotes unprotected sex for people in low-risk groups.
fine,why acknowledge having a deadly infection?
According to the Foo Fighters' web site (www.foofighters.com) and Alive and Well's web site (www.aliveandwell.org). Maggiore's main goal is to support those who have been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS and to explore nontoxic approaches to treatments. While I agree that a support group such as Alive and Well may help those people with the disease cope psychologically — as support groups may help those people with other life-threatening diseases such as cancer — I seriously question the rationale behind rejecting the millions of dollars and years of scientific research that have been spent on the physiology of HIV.
I believe Alive and Well means to constructively question AIDS research,however, its methods are illogical because it promotes the behavior that originally led to the spread of HIV. Sometimes the power of belief can cloud the facts of reality Within the past two years,numerous reports have come from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention substantiating that the latest class of AIDS drugs along with increased prevention has attributed to a huge drop-off in AIDS cases in the United States.
While those trends are good news, we are far from eradicating HIV or even controlling it, especially because new mutations of the virus are found each year. This makes Alive and Well's campaign even more horrifying, as Maggiore's subculture of HIV activists searching for alternative treatments will continue to promote discarding drugs and condoms. Maggiore and her followers seemingly ignore the fact that many patients receiving treatment for HIV have had success suppressing the virus for years or even reducing it to almost nothing, as in the case of Magic Johnson. Furthermore, those patients who follow Maggiore's advice would likely reverse their progress when rescinding the treatments. And I find it even more shocking that Maggiore condones not using condoms during sex, when that is exactly how she claims to have been infected with HIV.
Since the discovery of HIV and AIDS, common sense has dictated that safe sex or abstinence is of utmost importance in preventing the spread of the virus. My hope is that the average citizen sees through the unsubstantiated counter-information distributed by Maggiore and her supporters. It takes a strong belief and trust in science to do so.

Kansan report card
Pass:
- Heat wave wanes. Props to the University for imposing campus water restrictions last week. The grass was drier, but the cracked dirt added a new aesthetic to the University's landscape.
- National Merit Scholars. At 116 in attendance, maybe the record enrollment will help raise some of the University's other less-impressive rankings.
- Hepatitis B vaccines. Watkins Health Center offers free vaccine shots to students under 18 and those with vaccination coverage. If you're older, though, you get to fork over $20 to $30.
Murphy Hall renovation. Somehow, amid the beautification, they forgot to install water fountains in the new part. What if an opera student gets a dry throat?
Fail:
University rankings. We've dropped again in U.S. News and World Report's top public university rankings. New rally cp: "We're No. 421."
Kansas football. The team has seen better days. Perhaps the next game Saturday, Sept. 16, at home against Alabama-Birmingham will be one of those.
Perspective
Ignored football team deserves fan support
I am writing to get an issue off my chest that has been festering more with every Roy Williams article and Kansas basket ball recruiting article I see in the Kansan. In fact, Xavier Rice said it as simply and as bluntly as possible when he said. "There is more to KU than just basketball."
I'm not saying basketball deserves no attention and respect. I am trying to convince KU students to show a little more interest in the football team. Many students
have the same attitude as my roommate from last year when it comes to the Jayhawks. "They have to gain my respect before I'll buy tickets," she said. "That means they have to win first."
How can you expect them to win if the student body doesn't support them?
10
As a member of the University marching band, I have been fortunate enough to be able to watch almost every football game since I arrived
at the University of Kansas, and I have witnessed the metamorphosis of the team as it builds strength year after year.
Take, for instance, the first half of the Nebraska game last year. The Jayhawks were amazing. They showed what they were capable of in those two quarters, and the memory of the first half of that game forever will be embedded in my mind. This is one of the shining moments that proves our team is improving and changing. Just as a plant needs nutrients, water and healthy soil to continue to sprout, our football team needs support, attention and enthusiasm to continue its growth.
Alison Smith guest columnist opinion@kansan.com
Let's take a look at some numbers from
the past two seasons.
The basketball team's records — 23-10 in 1988-99 and 24-10 last year.
The football team's records — 4-7 in 1998 and 5-7 last year.
Notice any similarities? Both had only a one-game improvement. Notice any discrepancies? Basketball had more games, which means more chances to improve. Obviously, the number of students attending basketball games compared with the number attending football games is staggering. It's an enormous difference. The only times Memorial Stadium is filled is for the Kansas State and Nebraska games, and even then it's half full of purple or red. There's not enough blue.
Lastly, I'd like to say thank you to Kansas coach Terry Allen. He always makes sure to thank all groups involved with the team Spirit Squad, Crimson Girls, marching band and flag corps. Allen has attended several rehearsals to thank us personally for our hard work, and it makes us all feel truly appreciated.
While the number of fans at every football game still disgusts me, progress is slowly being made. There were still, however, many games last year when the student fans were few and far between, and the band was the only cheering section in the stadium.
Where were our fans at the K-State away game last year? And Missouri the year before? Both universities are not an unreasonable drive away, and, unlike basketball, all football games are either on a Saturday or a Sunday. These are the times when our team needs us the most.
appreciated My bottom line is that we know students have football tickets. Please put them to use and come support the football team. Give the Jayhawks a little recognition.

Editorial
Flanigan's dress code is exclusive
Local bar discriminates against African-American clothing line, FUBU.
"Jack likes Abercrombie, not FUBU, no FUBU gear or anything that looks like it." This is one line from the list of dress-code rules at the entrance of Jack Flanigan's Bar and Grill, 804 W. 23rd St., which is a dance club at night. What exactly is Jack trying to say here?
Abercrombie & Fitch and FUBU, to some extent, are geared toward different audiences. FUBU's largest concern, as it says in the company's mission, "is to stay in touch with our audience and keeping our identity, as the word FUBU stands for, 'For us, by us.'"
Both Abercrombie and FUBU are popular brands among college-age students, and by saying that one or the other is not to be worn at a night club is unfair. If one label is allowed, the other should be, too. Many students in the age group that frequent bars such as Flanigan's express themselves through the way they dress. Flanigan's has the right to say what can and cannot be worn inside its doors, but it should be done in a manner that doesn't offend or discriminate.
The owner of Jack Flanigan's justifies the dress code through a stipulation that was placed on the establishment after two shootings that occurred when the bar was called Langstons. The owner claims that the city said the establishment no longer could play the type of music that attracted the type of crowd it did when the shootings occurred.
No harm or racist undertones were intended in the wording of this particular rule, as the owner of Jack Flanigan's is an African American. And the reasoning behind the dress code is a logical one — to prevent any unfortunate events such as those that happened in the past. But if one label is banned from the bar, the other should be treated the same. The owners and managers are doing their jobs by trying to provide a safe, fun environment for students. However, there may have been a more politically correct way to go about wording the rule rather than simply saying, "Jack likes Abercrombie, not FUBU."

The Wildcats had little trouble against the Bulldogs and built a 31-10 halftime lead. Senior wide receiver Aaron Lockett ended the first quarter with a 55-yard run on a reverse, setting up a one-yard touchdown run by quarterback Jonathan Beasley. Lockett also returned a fourth-quarter punt 69 yards for a touchdown.

Running back Ennis Haywood rushed for 159 yards, including a 73-yard third-quarter touchdown run as the Cyclones built a 25-9 lead in the fourth quarter and held on for the win.
The Bobcats' triple-option offense briefly confused the Cyclones as Ohio scored on its first possession. Iowa State kickers missed two extra points and a field goal.
Colorado State 28, No. 23 Colorado 24
Colorado rallied from a second-quarter 14-0 deficit and took a 24-14 lead early in the third quarter behind backup quarterback Bobby Pesavento who came in after starter Zac Colvin bruised his right elbow.
However, with 10:31 to play, Rams quarterback Matt Newton connected with tight end Joseph Ochoa on a 30-yard scoring play that proved to be the winning touchdown. Newton threw four touchdown passes, and the Buffaloes' secondary gave up four big passing plays that led to all 28 Rams points.

Hill returns to practice after illness
Wide receiver Harrison Hill has been cleared to practice for the first time since suffering from chronic dehydration problems.
Hill said part of the problem was that his body temperature always was above 99 degrees. Doctors cleared him to play again but have urged him to change his diet.
Hill was expected to be an integral part of the offense until he was forced out of most preseason practices and the season opener Saturday. However, he said he thought he was ready to play again — for good.
"I know I can." he said. "I'm back. I'm not going to miss anymore games."
Starting left guard Kyle Grady, who suffered an injury to his kneecap Tuesday, missed practice yesterday and is listed as day-to-day. Coach Terry Allen said it was likely that he would play in next Saturday's game against Alabama-Birmingham.

Kansas sweeps Shockers
Killing spree puts 'Hawks over the top
By Sarch Warren sports@kanson.com Kanson sportwriter
Last night, the Kansas volleyball team whipped out its claws, defeating Wichita State 3-0 at the Horesei Family Athletic Center in a vicious contest of kills.
Seniors Nancy Bell and Amy Myatt turned in 15 and 14 kills. However, Wichita State proved to have a sole killing machine in Nicole May, who put the Kansas blockers to the test with 13 kills.
Things started out docile enough with the 'Hawks routing the Shockers 15-1 in the first match.
"I was surprised that game one was that easy," said coach Ray Bechard.
But then the fur started to fly.
May scored nine of her 13 kills in the second match, going on a 4-1 run. She tied things up 12-12 before Myatt had back-to-back kills, giving Kansas the advantage. The Shockers never recovered, and the Javahays cinched the game, 15-12.
By the third game, Shocker middle blocker Amy Smith seemed to go up after every set, pumping her fist in sort of a play fake — something Kansas middle blockers Danielle Geronymo and Kylie Thomas rarely do.
However, Wichita's style began to fall apart in the middle of the second game — but to their advantage. Becoming more erratic and unpredictable going into the third game, the Shockers looked like a blitzing defense, which proved to be a bit confusing for the more clean-cut javahawks.
"Their middle blockers are a lot more active than ours," Bell said. "We don't fake much."
The 'Hawks chose to block rather than to
fake as their attack plan for the final contest. The team added four blocks in the final contest, pulling away from a 9-14 deficit and winning it 16-14 on a Bell game. Bell ended up having a marquee game going 15 for 18 in kills, earning her an 83 percent success rate.
Freshman Sarah Rome had a big night with nine kills, finishing third behind Bell, and Myatt and turned in nine digs, placing her first in that category.
"We look at the kills percentage like a batting average: Anything over .300 is good," Bechard said. "And coming back 9-14 — that's big."
"Rome came in and took some hard swings at the end of the third game when Wichita was taking hard swings, too." Bechard said. "She did well for us."
Bechard said he hoped his team, now 40, could keep up the on-the-court killing spree at this weekend's Jayhawk Classic.
"It's a lot more fun going into the weekend with a win." Bechard said, "Hopefully, we can bring it out and win."

KU water skier excels in sport
Michael Sudhalter
sports @kanson.com
Kanson sportswriter
The events of jump, slalom and trick may not fit into a traditional sport, but that hasn't stopped one Kansas student from excelling in the event that he loves.
All-American water skier Johnny Lohrmann, Elkhorn, Wis., senior, began competing at age 12. He is entering his fourth year with the 20-member Kansas club squad after learning about the sport at a young age from his family.
"My family has influenced me in the sport," Lohmann said. "I began water skiing in the Lauderdale Lakes area of Wisconsin."
Lohrmann, who has competed in basketball and baseball, said water skiing was both a team and individual sport.
"The jump event gives points for distance, while slalom is made up of a course," Lohmann said. "The trick event gives points to how many stunts can be completed in 20 seconds."
The team compiles points based on the three separate events: jump, slalom and trick. Five members of the team compete in each event.
Lohrmann specializes in the trick event and said he had high expectations for the coming season.
He said he would like to see the team make an appearance at the national competition in Louisiana this year.
Kansas, which is in the Midwest Conference with Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas State and Michigan, needs to place first or second in the conference to qualify for nationals. Last season, the team placed seventh.
While Lohrmann never has been to the national contest during his three years at Kansas, he has made the All-Star individual squad for three years.
"The first year that I was invited to All-Stars, I was really surprised." Lohrmann said. "After that, I worked really hard to make it again."
While the individual accolades are meaningful to Lohrmann, other experienced water skiers respect his overall leadership skills.
"Johnny cares about this team," said Tony Sebben, Manitou Springs, Colo. senior. "He takes the time to teach others."
As team captain, Lohrmann said he felt obligated to help the younger skiers improve. In return, new members said they respected Lohrmann's guidance.
"This is my first year on the team." said Kelly Weiss, Gardner sophomore. "Johnny has been very helpful to everyone."
A
While this is his senior year, the coming season will not be his farewell tour. As an architecture student, Lohmann plans on studying at Kansas and competing on the team for two more years.

Parting coaches leave players, loyalists behind
Coach Williams, please don't go!
Ahem. Sorry. Just wanted to say it one last time. Heb-heb.
But speaking of Roy Williams, can I direct everyone to the nearest magazine stand? Take a look at the Sept. 4 issue of Sports Illustrated — the one with Ryan Leaf on the cover. There's a very interesting story on page 50 titled "Domino Effect." The insightful article by Tim Crothers and Grant Wahl tells about the effect that Bill Guthridge leaving North Carolina has had on the college basketball community.
The article says that since June 30, 21 coaches have changed addresses as a direct effect of Guthridge's departure. It also has a little info about the coach who didn't change addresses our own Coach Williams.
our own Coach Wilkins.
The article also takes time to talk to Notre Dame forward Ryan Humphrey. A former Oklahoma player, Humphrey went to Notre Dame to play for former Kansas assistant Matt Dougherty. Now that Dougherty has gone, Humphrey is looking at the third coach of his collegiate career.
Humphrey said he was OK with Dougherty's decision, but what I want to hear is Troy Murphy's reaction.
Murphy dominated for the Irish and could have gone to the NBA last season. I'm sure that sometime after the season ended, Dougherty sat down and talked to Murphy about loyalty. Murphy stayed, and then a couple weeks later his coach bailed on him. Murphy should be upset that Dougherty talked into sticking around South Bend, Ind., after Dougherty bolted for North Carolina.
Hey, Carl Nesmith, you've got us all hyped up for the "Millennium Butcher Dance," but you get in trouble and make like a Luke Axtell country CD and get pulled. We don't have another game until the 16th. Butch, so you have to stay out of trouble until then, okay? If I wear a blood-splattered Butcher's apron and you're not even playing, I'm gonna send you my dry-cleaning bill.
Have you ever eaten, say, peanut butter crackers for lunch, and then looked at the package to see what's in it? I mean, what the hell did I just put in my body? Riboflavin? Can that kill me?
■ I'm sick of WWF Raw is War getting bumped back two hours these past weeks by U.S. Open Tennis. Don't get me wrong — I love to watch tennis — but until Pete Sampras body slams a chair armure through a table for a bad call, the Williams sisters can use their rackets as weapons during hardcore matches and Anna Kournikova enters the court to rock music and pyrotechnics while wearing a skimpy push-up bra, I want Monday nights reserved for The Rock and Triple H. So, tennis players, shut your mouths and know your roles.
Because I've already directed you to the magazine stand, while you're there, why not pick up an issue of Wizard No. 109 as well? You won't find any stories about Roy Williams, but you will find several articles by me, including a brief story about Shaquille O'Neal's obsession with Superman. Yeah, it's a comic book magazine. After reading the stories, feel free to write the editor and tell them you'd like to see more stories by me in their pages. Come on, it'll be fun!
Am I shameless? Yep. Deal with it

Chenowith works hard preparing to play big-man basketball
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com
Eric Chenowith wants his senior season to be about punctuation more than anything.
Specifically, he wants to end his Kansas career with an exclamation point instead of a question mark, and his summer workouts already have him thinking big for the upcoming season.
"You can't put a question mark next to my name anymore, considering how hard I've worked this summer and considering that every opportunity I've had I've taken advantage of," said the 7-foot 1 center.
This is directly opposite from last summer, when Kansas coach Roy Williams berated Chenowith for his lack of work. This summer break, Chenowith's life was
packed full of basketball.
Soon after that, he returned to Lawrence for Williams' summer basketball camp, then back to California for some devastating news. Just days after Williams announced he would stay at Kansas, Chenowith learned that his mother, Janey Chenowith, had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
In the spring, Chenowith flew home to Villa Park, Calif., to work out with high school coach Kevin Reynolds and former NBA player Bob Thornton.
Chenwish said the diagnosis put basketball in perspective for him.
"I would much rather have the pain inflicted on me instead of her," Chenwhot said, "because I've been through a lot of things in my life. I've been through a lot of adversity."
While the news of his mother's cancer was
shocking to Chenowith, he said he tried hard to focus on basketball. The NBA's Portland Trailblazers held summer workouts near Chenowith's home, so he was able to scrimmage with the Trailblazers and work out daily with Portland assistant Tim Gurgrich.
Then, Chenowith was off to Las Vegas to work out with NBA scouts and to Hawaii to attend the highly regarded Pete Newell Big Man Camp. Between the trips, Chenowith returned to California to help his mother through her chemotherapy and her August mastectomy.
Fortunately, Chenowith's mother appears to be on the road to recovery. He said that the cancer didn't spread beyond her breast and that she would be able to travel in February to see his games.
As for basketball, Chenowith said this
"It was all just confidence," Chenowith said about last season's troubles. "When you do all this stuff [over the summer], you come out with the mentality that you can do whatever you want on the court." Now, Chenowith's
summer helped his mentality.
"The sky's the limit," he said. "If I come out
MARY SCHNEIDER
Chenowith said the scouts liked a his
he said. "If I come out and have a good year and work hard, I could be a lottery pick. That's just care. There's still a lot of stuff I can do to take care of that."
"People always say Eric Chenowith and potential," Chenowith said. "Seven-one guys are hard to find, and coming from a great program like Kansas helps. One thing souts do like is that I have a good shooting touch. What they want me to do is really take it strong to the basket and not settle for the fade-away jump shot."
potential.
The NBA camps and Chenowith adding 15 pounds of muscle and bumping his bench press up to 285 pounds means that Williams is pleased with Chenowith's summer progress.
“Eric looks good,” Williams said. “He’s light years from last year. From everything I’ve heard, his body looks good, and his attention and effort has been great.”

Disc golf puts new spin on competitive sports
Bv Andy Samuelson
hey call themselves the "Dog Pound."
Four University of Kansas students, Brian Adkins, James Bardeen, Luke Bauer and Caleb Hensley, are willing to back up their moniker — taking a bite out of any sport they take on.
Last week, the foursome began a new recreational endeavor: disc golf.
"At first I didn't know if I'd like it or not," said Hensley, Pittsburg senior. "But I played for a while and just got into the game."
The members of the Dog Pound (the nickname comes from the guys always calling each other "dog") aren't that different from other KU students who enjoy the game mostly because of its affordability and social setting.
"It's free, basically," said Bardeen, who also is a Pittsburg senior and has been playing the sport for four years. "It's a good time. It's just something to do other than watch TV or study."
Lawrence's Centennial Disc Golf Course, 600 Rockledge Road, is just one of several highquality courses in northeast Kansas and one of nearly 30 courses in the state.
Just off Ninth Street and Rockledge, Centenial Park features an 18-hole course with movable baskets that offer players different hole formations.
A more experienced player can upgrade to a tougher challenge such as the Pro Par 54-par course.
Beginners need not worry, however, as a 72- par course also is available. Each hole has at least two different hole settings, and four

holes have three placements.
In a Course in 4700 feet it
Don't think for a minute that in all the serenity and leisure of the game that there isn't a competitive side to Disc Golf.
"Now they have specialized Frisbees for distance and putters for layups and close range," said Rich Smith, a 1986 KU graduate who was playing at Centennial last week with friends.
Smith and his friends started playing Disc Golf a couple of years ago when they were working at Henderson Engineers of Kansas City, Kan. He said the group would go around once a week to the different courses in the area.
"I think people enjoy it because of the camaraderie," Smith said. "It's not very expensive, and doesn't take much time."
When Smith was a student, there was no course at Centennial Park. But that didn't keep him from enjoying the sport. He said everal people played an objective-style disc course around Potter Lake. Instead of aiming for baskets, players picked out trees and light posts to use as holes.
The game continues to evolve for Smith and his buddies as they seek out different courses on which to play.
Centennial is in the process of a three-phase renovation, and several holes have to be relocated during park construction.
But according to Ernie Shaw, superintendent of park facilities and management, the changes all are for the greater good of the course.
The east side is under construction as another shelter, more restrooms, a playground and a new parking lot are being developed. New sidewalks, a bike path and more handicap accessibility are being considered.
A couple of years ago, a skate park with half pipes was added to the center of the park. Earlier this year, a shelter, restrooms and parking upgrades were done on the west side of the park.
"Everything is operational; it's just sort of temporary," Shaw said of the course's condition. "I don't know that it will do a lot more for people, but I think this will just beautify it and make it more usable."
That's what disc golf tournament director John Huntington is counting on.
"I played a couple of new holes, and I think it's going to be a little more challenging," said Huntington, a former member of the now-defunct Lawrence Flying Disc Club. Huntington still coordinates about two tournaments each year to which Centennial Park plays host.
While the club folded about eight years ago, Huntington said the sport still seemed to be thriving.
"There are a lot of college kids that play it,"
he said. "It's very cheap, and you can play a round in about 45 minutes. And then they can go and do it again."
At least that's what the "dogs" are counting on right now to satisfy their appetites for the sport.
"I love it," Adkins said. "It's something different. It's kind of just us guys out there tossing a disc around."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 7).
Once a financial conflict has been resolved, your life life should improve. You have to face some hassles, but you get luckier as the year goes on. In September you may be worried — and with good reason. By the end of October your fears should have materialized and been resolved. Rest with a good book or two in November, and then make a few necessary changes to your home around December. January looks good for romance, and you'll be ready for a vacation then, too. The workload increases in February, so it's hard to get away then. You're in line for a promotion around June, however. That could lead to more stress in August, but it's worth the effort.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8.
You're still in a rather difficult spot. They say discretion is the better part of valor, and that could be the case now. In other words, you don't have to lie. You don't have to offer what you know without being asked, either.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8.
A person who's playing hard to get could feel left out in the cold. You're having so much fun without him or her, who cares? A fit isn't going to get your attention*, either. This person has to be nice, and that's all there is to it.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
You and your sweetheart could argue over money. It's sad, but true. A purchase that looks sensible to you could look extravagant to your partner. Focus on the love you share, and everything else will seem unimportant — which it is.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) --- Today is a 6.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) --- Today is a 6.
Explain your feelings in words if possible. It's the only way you'll get your point across. Others will miss your subtle innuendoes or misinterpret them completely.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
You may feel like you are working too hard, but the money should be good. If it's not, you're in the wrong place. Don't quit your job before you have a better one. Don't let a silly error get you down. Everybody makes them.
Virgo (Aug, 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
All of a sudden something makes sense to the other people. You had it figured out days agol Even if you still have to do some explaining, staying calm should be easier. Stick to your position, but be a good listener, too. Especially if you're right.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
Your charms may not work as well as usual. A person you'd like to change may ignore your attempts. Maybe you ought to give up. If you accept this person as is, you'll both be happier. It's the only way that will work!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Don't talk about something that's best kept secret for a while longer. Even a person you think you can trust could accidentally spill the beans. It's even more awful when that person is you! Mum's the word!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
P
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
You're going about your business and think you have everything under control. Watch for a possible glitch. It will most likely involve a sensitive person and a misunderstanding. Since the sensitive person outranks you, take care.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a b.
Making a long-distance connection may be more difficult than you expect. Later is better than earlier, and this weekend will be better yet. After an old debt's paid, just about everything will seem easier.
You can't quite complete the goals you've set. Don't let this keep you from practicing and fine-tuning your plans. An older person could come through with a bonus when least expected. Make it easy for him or her to do that.
2
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You may encounter a temporary disappointment, regarding a purchase you'd planned. Don't let this stop you. If you keep looking, you'll find another source of funding. You might find a better deal over the weekend, too.

Reeve's Watcher not worth watching
By Ryan Dolan
Kansan movie critic
SALUTA DEL LAW
Some film fans — and thespians — are worried that actors may someday be entirely replaced by computer-generated images. Their worries may be well-founded because robotic actors already grace the silver screen.
Scorpion

The most popular example of this is Keanu Reeves, who stars in Universal Pictures' The Watcher, as serial killer David Allen Griffin. Like any credible Hollywood studio, Universal produced enticing previews to the Reeves' suspense thriller with tag lines such as, "Don't go home alone."
It scared this reviewer's friend so much, she refused to see the sneak preview. Good thing.
Former FBI agent Jack Campbell (James Spader) lives in Chicago, where he undergoes therapy from an understanding, yet inexperienced, social worker, Polly (Marisa Tomei). Ingesting and injecting several psychiatric drugs to battle anxiety and post-traumatic stress, Campbell tries to forget his former Los Angeles nemesis, Griffin.
Despite a good supporting cast and some terrific cinematography and special effects, The Watcher's tag line should read, "Don't go see this movie alone ... or with friends, family or worst enemies."
Griffin eventually moves to Chicago to continue his hobby of strangling young women with piano wire, while taunting Campbell. Campbell receives photographs of the next victim 24 hours before Griffin plans to kill her.
Reeves is an A-list actor who excelled as an action hero in *The Matrix* and *Speed*. He also is adept as Joe America, who fends off villains in movies like The Devil's Advocate. He probably was itching to tackle a psychopath. Unfortunately, he does not have the charisma, charm or acting ability to pull that off.

The movie never creates any dramatic tension that prods the imagination or fools the senses. Griffin's stalking and killing of the young women, while not pleasant, does not leave the audience hiding its face.
Griffin continues his killing spree because of his desire to maintain a dysfunctional work relationship with FBI agent Campbell. It is infuriating to Griffin, that Campbell might place a personal relationship ahead of the office. Griffin's initial instincts to murder young women are murky at best.
The film might have worked if Spader and Reeves had flip-flopped roles. Spader's trademarks — angst, dry wit and intelligence — definitely carry the movie.
underrated Marisa Tomei, who has been stereotyped and scorned since she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for My Cousin Vinny, credibly handles the therapist role as Polly. Unfortunately, the studio monkeys push the sexual tension in her relationship with Campbell and also turn Polly into the sniveling damsel in distress as the film wears down.
unleashed in the music video/action scenes — especially toward the climax of the movie.
“It’s the first time I can remember a film where we find out who the killer is so soon,” said Nile Miami, one of The Watcher's producers, on the film's Web site. “It allowed us to establish the suspense in a completely different way.”
Or not establish it at all.

Man's exhibition puts him behind wipers, bars
Authories said that David Compton put his own nude picture under the windshield wipers of parked cars and then watched for a reaction.
COVENTRY, R.I. — Some folks hand out business cards, others try resumes, but police in Rhode Island said one man went a little too far in displaying his assets.
Coventry police said Compton tried the stunt at a Wal-Mart and put the photo on the windshield of a young woman's car. He then allegedly followed her.
Now, Compton may have another picture for his scrapbook — his mugshot. He's been charged with disorderly conduct and stalking.
Web site helps parents track teens' road skills
DE PERE, Wis. — A confrontation with a nasty young driver convinced Jay Van Zeeland there should be a way to inform the parents of youthful motorists about their behavior behind the wheel.
ing, driving erratically or committing some other infraction can log on to the Web site to make a report or call a 24-hour toll-free number.
Like the "how's my driving?" stickers on some trucks, Van Zeeland is offering parents a bumper sticker for the car their teen will be driving.
Van Zeeland, an emergency medical technician, said the idea for the service started with an incident a few weeks ago, when a motorist ran a red light and almost hit his vehicle.
The answer he came up with? "Tell-My-Mom.com."
The service is expected to be fully operational tomorrow.

Rainwater, sunshine help company conserve
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — When the Chesapeake Bay Foundation moves into its new headquarters later this year, employees will use flushless toilets and wash their hands in unheated rainwater.
In the interest of energy efficiency, a system of computerized red and green lights will tell them when they should open and close windows. Photo sensors will turn off the lights when there is enough natural light shining through the glass walls.
Rain that runs off the parking lot will be routed through two filtering systems and wetlands before entering the bay, at which time it is supposed to be pure enough to drink.
Those are just a few of the features incorporated into what foundation officials think will be one of the greenest office buildings ever built.
There aren't even carpets — onlyork
Chuck Foster, director of fleets and
facilities for the foundation, said environmental criteria guided every decision including the selection of building materials and office furniture, landscaping and the height of outdoor lighting, which is low to reduce the impact on birds at night.
Web surfers find thrill on decaying-meat page
MEDFORD, Ore. — Peeking into college dorm rooms. Inspecting traffic patterns. Peering into zoo cages.
Now there's a new thrill for Internet surfers — watching raw meat decompose.
Mahon Smith and Chad Sobotka launched their first "Stinkymeat" Web page to document the decay of steak, ground beef and hot dogs hidden in their neighbor's backyard.
Oddities
The duo have now become cyber icons, generating a Web site genre called cyber-stench and inspiring spin offs in Australia and the United Kingdom.
The first day, the Web site had 60,000 hits. Now, the Web site receives approximately three million daily visits to www.thepark.com.
Encouraged, the Web site's creators set up "Stinkmeye 2."
The project began when Smith and Sobotka discovered that their neighbor had read a postcard addressed to Smith in the community mailbox. They did not approve and hoped the rotting meat would serve as an appropriate insult.
A Massachusetts-based computer firm bought the rights to host the first two Stinkymeats.
Fans, apparently, are begging for a third.
"I'm not really sure what the appeal is," Smith said. "It doesn't get much more immature."
Man survives second round with lightning
BUCKLEY, Wash. — Charles Doremus learned the hard way that lightning does indeed strike the same place twice when it hit him for the second time.
Doremus was treated for burns on the chest, feet and head.
"He feels like he's been hit by a semi truck," said his son, Blair Doremus, Monday.
The family was looking at a new outdoor swimming pool Sunday when they heard a tremendous blast, ran inside, looked out and realized lightning had struck a maple tree, the son said.
While the family was looking out the window, down came another thunderbolt.
"It actually hit the tree again, if you can believe it," the younger Doremus said.
The blast sent his father flying into a fence, left a crater in the ground about 4 feet wide and 18 inches deep and fried four television sets, a satellite dish, a computer and the telephones in the house.

Early riser grabs ticket to sold-out Weezer show
By Meghan Bainum
Andy Gassaway is one of the lucky KU students with a ticket to tomorrow's sold-out Weezer show.
By Megan Bantum

Kansan staff writer
Gassaway, Neodesha junior,
wanted Weeter tickets when he saw
a filer advertising the show, but he
decided he didn't need to camp out
for tickets. Instead, he showed up at
Vibes Music, 911 Massachusetts St.
early in the morning on Aug. 19 —
the first day of ticket sales.
But waking up early on a Saturday morning wasn't enough. Gassaway found himself at the end of a long line.
"The dorms hadn't filled up yet, and I didn't think there were many people in town," he said. "I really didn't think there would be a crowd
Only the first two people in line at Vibes were lucky enough to get tickets, so Gassaway quickly went to the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., and was able to buy his ticket there.
But even at the Granada tickets went fast. Nicole Geist, Granada manager, said Weezer tickets sold out in 20 minutes.

Weezer hasn't released a CD since 1996's *Pinkerton*, which followed Weezer's 1994 debut CD, Weezer.
Some of the group's most popular songs include "Buddy Holly," "Undone — The Sweater Song" and "El Schorcho."
Gassaway said he felt giddy when he heard one of his favorite groups
Weezer concert:
Where: The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St.

was coming to Lawrence.
Although he said he felt bad about those who could not get into the show, he didn't feel bad enough to miss out on the Weezer experience.
"Ever since I was a freshman in high school I have loved Weezer because I think their music speaks to the insecure geek way down deep inside of all of us," he said.
"They have my sympathies," Gassaway said. "But they can't have my ticket—no matter what."

Jazzhaus to feature guitarist
Numerous times — all at The Jazzhaus. We love playing the college towns where the whole atmosphere is energized and the people like to dance.
Joanna Connor performs tomorrow night at The Jazzhaus, 926-1/2 Massachusetts St., with a slide guitar performance that most critics say is reminiscent of the music of Bonnie Raitt.
Have you played in Lawrence before?
How would you classify your sound?
It's difficult because we blur the
How long have you been playing electric guitar?
A long, long, long time — about 15 years. My mother was a big music fan, and she gave me a guitar when I was really young. I didn't start playing it until I was in my 20s, but I was around music my whole life.
edges. We're bluesy with a lot of funk, R&B and rock mixed in.
If not music and songwriting,
what would you be doing?
I also go to college right now — I was in school today. I'd probably be a writer.
What would be the best com
pliment someone could give
von?
I think what makes me feel the best at a show is that they felt some sort of iov or felt unlifted.
How do you feel about being compared with Bonnie Raitt?
It doesn't bother me because she's talented. In life, you're always compared to a predecessor, and since she was the first woman to pick up the electric guitar, that's going to happen. I think my style is more aggressive than hers, though.

COMPACT DISCS
The Glands
— The Glands
Hailing from Athens, Georgia, the Glands' new self-titled debut on Capriour records proves that the muggy South can produce something more than redneck rock a la Skynyd or jam-based boogie groups such as the Doobie Brothers.
The Glands' eclectic sound might have been right at home beside these acts on '70s radio, as they suggest an earlier pop sensibility throughout the disc. The CD features minimal instrumentation for the most part, which is appropriate, because anything more might overshadow their off-kilter harmonies and lead vocalist Ross Shapiro's optimistic contributions.
The Glands squeeze out a variety of unusual guitar sounds, at once churning and hypnotic, but never monotonous, as heard on the excellent "Mayflower." They even manage a couple of ol' fashioned guitar solos.
Until the new Radiadie album hits stores, the Glands' sweet endocrine sunshine is more than enough to keep intelligent underachievers at bay. Don't believe me? See for yourself when The Glands play Monday at the Replay Lounge — a boon for all parties involved, I can assure you.

Slidetime
As a female slide guitarist, Connor automatically draws comparison to the pioneering Bonnie
Юлия
Симон
Rait. Although that is nothing to be ashamed about, it's an easy correlation. Connor represents the next generation ofslide guitarists, with rock 'n' roll in her blood.
Connor's strong guitar technique and talent for songwriting resemble that of Raitt. She writes mostly blues, which is her best genre. Whenever she departs from it into rock fusion, she gets into trouble. Her album *Big Girl Blues*, which came out in 1998 on the Blind Pig label, is the strongest of the two CDs. Here the songs are mainly blues, such as "They Love Each Other," and on the title track, Connor's guitar playing is first rate.
Sildetime (1998) isn't as strong because it's not stricty blues but a blues/rock mix. Connor's voice is too light to make the rock songs stick. When she comes back to the real thing in "Money Blues" and "Pea Vine Blues," she strikes gold. Her playing and song-writing has a spirit and energy that shouldn't be missed. Check her out tomorrow night at the Jazzhaus for an excellent show.

The Get Up Kids
According to their publicist, Kansas City's Get Up Kids are the hottest, most happening band at the moment.
Their show last Friday, at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., was simply average. The songs were too short, the lyrics unoriginal and the atmosphere tense.
I'm not sure why.
CONCERTS
Unfortunately for the Get Up Kids, the club was stifling hot, which made performing miserable. But their songs didn't make them sweat. Each song had hope at beginning but ended in disappointment. The band can start strong, but they never exhaust the possibilities of their musical material, quitting before they and the audience reach enlightenment. The Get Up Kids also don't stray far from the familiar with tried and true cliches such as "out of sight/out of mind/out of reach," and "be my valentine." It's obvious that these guys have talent; they just need to dig deeper.
The Get Up Kids had home-court advantage at the Bottleneck with their loyal followers making up most of the audience. Most bands would sacrifice everything for such a strong fan base. The Get Up Kids should consider themselves lucky.
It was impressive to see the crowd getting excited and singing along to all of the tunes, especially when lead singer Matthew Pryor wasn't deserving of the adulation. He yelled at the lighting crew from the stage and cracked jokes at the expense of his band mate Jim Septic. The heat must have gone to his brain.

Wayans brothers take on MTV awards
NEW YORK — Shawn Waynes pauses while writing "in-your-face" comedy sketches for the MTV Video Music Awards to say he isn't worried about something going wrong during a sketch.
The Associated Press
"My nightmare is that none of our sketches get put on." Wavans said.
WWW.SOFTWARE.COM
"He was doing standup comedy in college," Wayans said. "We always wanted to make him laugh. He was a tough guy to make laugh, but he used to laugh at a lot of our stuff, which encouraged us to keep working at it. When I got to high school, I started doing standup myself. Marlon went to a performing arts high school for acting."
When Wayans, 29, and Marlon, 18 months younger, were growing up in New York, they wrote comedy sketches and performed them for older brother Keenen when he came home from school.
we can them the producers', Wayans said. When they do comedy routines, Marlon is the crazy one, while Shawn plays the straight man.
Wayans and his brother Marlon — siblings of comedian-director Keenen Ivory Wayans — will co-host the awards, to be broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall tonight at 7.
Keenen was the first member of the Wayans family to head for Hollywood, gaining bit parts in TV shows. Shawn and Marlon joined him in Los Angeles, where they appeared with brother Damon and sister Kim in Keenen's sketch show In Living Color. The five other Wayans siblings and their parents aren't in show business.
"When MTV asks you for its biggest show, it has got to be an honor," he said.
They've never hosted an awards show. But that shouldn't be a problem. In an interview, Wayans said he and Marlon were excited.
"You can't have two people going 100 miles an hour or people will turn you off," Wayans explained. "I tone it down a little. When I'm by myself, I go 100 miles an hour. When I'm with him, I let him be the nut."
When asked if Marlon is funnier, Wayans replies diplomatically, "I'm more witty. He is more physical."

Folk music series to kick off season
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
A concert series dedicated to folk music kicks off its
fall season Saturday with
1
a performance by A nd r e w McKnight.
McKnight, a former environ- mental engineer, blends acoustic folk, blues and bluegrass with environ- mentalism, said Bob
McWilliams, organizer of the West Side Folk series.
"If you're into acoustic guitar, Andrew really is a great player." McWilliams said.
The star-studded fall season will also include concerts by Dar Williams, Greg Brown, Richard Shindell and Cheryl Wheeler. McWilliams said these artists and others came to Lawrence because West Side Folk provided a setting where the artists and audience formed a community.
Most concerts have a student discount, and many take place at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. At all ECM shows, 10 percent of the ticket and concession sales goes toward the Alternative Spring Break program.
West Side Folk grew out of a few concerts McWilliams had at his house in 1994. The second concert featured Dar Williams, who had just released her first album. The concert drew 35 people, and the word spread. By 1996, West Side Folk was a nonprofit organization with a board of directors and is run entirely on volunteer support.
"It's really good to support this," said Sheri Martin, Topea senior and volunteer for West Side Folk. "The folk scene is less popularized, so it's harder to promote and for it to be a
success. And the music is very good."

very good. McWilliams said he thought many of the lesser known artists on the series such as Barbara Kessler are the
"It's a labor of love, but I also love the fact that it's helping to provide the community an alternative way to listen to music," McWilliams said. "It's what
I've been able to give back to the community."

Scholar designation differs at schools
University entices finalists by offering scholarship packages
By Kursten Phelps
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas ranks among the premier universities in the nation when it comes to enrolling National Merit Scholars.
But the comparison between the number of KU merit scholars and those at schools such as Yale, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Princeton isn't so simple.
In order to compete with other schools for scholars, the University, unlike some, sponsors a scholarship package for National Merit Finalists. But that means many of the merit scholars at KU would not be merit scholars at schools such as Yale, MIT and Princeton, which do not sponsor a scholarship package.
Students become finalists after scoring
well on the PSAT in high school and submitting applications, essays and references. Finalists compete for merit scholarships that give them the merit scholar status, said Gloria Ladendorf, assistant director of public information for the National Merit Corp.
Nationwide, about half of the finalists become merit scholars — except at KU and other schools that sponsor National Merit scholarship packages.
scholarship package.
Finalists who pick KU as their first-choice school and who do not win a scholarship from either the National Merit Corp. or a participating private corporation receive a scholarship package from the University that makes them merit scholars. So any finalist who tells the National Merit Corp. that KU is his or her first-choice school is guaranteed merit scholar status.
Of the 101 merit scholars at KU in Fall 1999, 84 did not receive scholarships from the National Merit Corp. or private corporations and were made merit scholars by the University, according to University records. This fall, 116 new merit scholars enrolled at KU, but the number that received KU merit scholarship packages was not available.

Steps to becoming a National Merit Scholar
2. Semifinalists are announced the following September based on test scores.
3. Finalists are determined based on semifinalists' applications, essays, and references.
4. Finalists rank top university and college choices.
5. National Merit Corp. scholarships are awarded first.
6. Finalists who don't receive National
Merit Corp. scholarships apply for private corporate scholarships, if eligible.
Finalists who are not awarded either of the above can accept a college sponsored merit scholarship from their first choice university, if the university offers such packages. 84 of the 101 National Merit Scholars last year were this type.

On the other hand, schools such as Harvard, which ranked first in number of new merit scholars enrolled in 1999, do not sponsor National Merit scholarships. That means the 394 merit scholars Harvard recruited last fall would have been merit scholars at any school they attended.

In the Fall 1999, KU ranked ninth among public universities and 21st overall. The University was ranked fifth among Big 12 Conference universities.

J. Hood Booksellers moving store online
J. HOOD BOOKSE
By Luke Wetzel
Special to the Kansan
Chances are Lawrence residents know John Hood not as a carpenter, but as a bookseller.
But right now. Hood and his wife, Gloria, are closing shop and building a barn on their property near Baldwin to house books they'll sell online.

After 26 years, J. Hood Booksellers, 1401 Massachusetts St., will be closing its doors. Come Thanksgiving, customers will still be able to browse and purchase from the J. Hood catalog from their computers.
Hood has been making shelves for the barn as part of the transition to selling books online.
Hood began selling books on the Internet five years ago.
in getting pretty darn good at making shelves," Hood said, as J. Hood employees removed books from the Massachusetts Street store.
"We sell to Borders, Barnes and Noble. Amazon.com and to customers all over the world," he said.
Hood said he saw the Internet as a new direction for his business.
"We'll miss the interaction with students," Hood said. "It just seems like it's time to simplify things."
Mario Garitta, graduate teaching assistant in philosophy, said that although he would miss the shop itself, he would continue to buy books online.
"I was in there last May, and they indicated that traffic was slow but that they would probably stay open," Garitta said. "It's sad because it's been there for so long. Sometimes you just browse and see things that you're not necessarily looking for."
Since the store began business in August 1974, the number of books has increased from 1,000 to 85,000. The shelves contain books about everything from ethics to quantum mechanics. The Roadside Geology of Colorado sits one narrow alley.
away from The Handbook to Christian
Atheism.
"We buy books from every source we can think of." Hood said.
That includes book-buying trips along the east coast.
Hood attended the University of Kansas, where he studied philosophy and English, worked as a mail deliverer and janitor and met his wife. They first discussed the idea of opening a bookstore while Gloria was studying at Yale.
"Because I had this money come out of the blue, I figured easy-come, easy-go." John said. "Let's give it a shot, rent a place and see what happens. It just took off."
Moving back to Lawrence from their home in Connecticut and receiving a small inheritance allowed John and Gloria to take the first steps.
Hood said loyal customers and low rent have kept him in business. The Hoods paid a monthly rent of only $100 when they began business.
"There were many years when we really needed the low overhead," he said. "But it was here. We lament the passing of that for college kids who might come off the Hill and want to start a business. Lawrence is in our blood."
But Hood isn't planning on taking up a career as a carpenter.
"I think the book's going to be around for a long time," he said.

Online forum aids students in classroom
By Jason Krall writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Students now can step up to the Blackboard, a new Internet tool with the potential to replace hard copies of reserve readings, syllabi and handouts.
The professors of more than 200 courses already have posted documents, announcements and links to the Internet resource. They have set up message boards with discussion questions. The service also includes real-time chat capabilities that allow professors to conduct online help sessions.
Claire Mannion, St. Louis sophomore, has used the course outline posted for Elements of Sociology. She said she liked being able to access information for that class and her English class from the same Web site.
"You enter your password, and all your classes are listed right there," she said.
While some faculty have been posting course information on Web sites for years, Blackboard centralizes online course supplements for students. After logging in with a single password, students can access information from each of their classes for which their professor has set up a site from one location, http://courseware.kans.edu. There is no cost for students to access Blackboard there.
Many students are familiar with the service's predecessor, Web Course in a Box, which prefers some of the same features, though some complained it was too complex to use.
"I spent more time trying to explain how to use the software than talking about content," said John Hoopes, associate professor of anthropology.
Hopeps uploads handouts, poses discussion questions on the message board and even provides reserve readings using the service.
"It replaces the reserve reading in the library," he said.
He also has posted pictures from a trip to Nepal earlier this year, and said he was excited about the opportunity to post MP3 and video files.
The cost seems minimal. The University paid a $5,000 annual fee, which included initial software and installation, to the Internet software company Blackboard Inc. This yearly fee allows all professors access to the system.
The Blackboard system provides many of the same services of the Microsoft Exchange server, which wont online last spring and also provides an arena for class message boards, free student Web-site hosting and file-sharing folders for distributing handouts and collecting homework.
There are subtle differences. Exchange is integrated with students' e-mail accounts, although it does not offer real-time chat.
But support staff don't mind that the two online services overlap. They said it gave faculty the choice of which better suited their needs.
"We wanted to provide a wide variety of Internet options and let them choose the tool that makes the most sense," said Susan Zvacek, director of instructional development and support.

Hare Krishnas bring message of self-improvement to campus
Bv Chris Wristen
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The message is simple: It says to forget about materialistic things and focus on the soul. It encourages people to focus on their inner spirits, realize their dharma — their calling in life — and then achieve that calling, regardless of the benefits the individual will receive in return.
The truth lies within.
That is what the Hare Krishnas have attempted to share with University of Kansas students during their week-long visit.
"I wanted to hear what he had to say so I can understand where different groups of people are coming from," said Doug Smit, Denver graduate student.
And that message, for the most part, has gone over well with students.
The Krihasna said they had been accepted by most students.
"Mostly our experience is that people are very favorable, and if they're not interested, they're respectable about it," said
Maharaja, a Krishna, whose name is one word.
Hare Krishnas are monks who spread the message of the Bhagavad-Gita, a book with the teachings of the Supreme Lord Krishna that also contains sacred scriptures from ancient India. The scriptures encourage self-improvement in spirituality and lifestyle.
"It's not actually a religion," Maharaja said. "It teaches different forms of yoga, so it's more of a technology, like a science, a culture, a practice, a way of living to raise our consciousness from the central animal platform where most people live to the human rational platform and on to the spiritual platform because we're actually spiritual beings."
While the Bhagavad-Gita is a significant piece of Hindu literature and culture, the Krishnas do not identify themselves as Hindu — or any religion for that matter.
The lack of direct association with a religion does not interfere with Christian principles, said the Rev. Vince Krische, director of St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center.
"The (the) concept of self-betterment would be very similar to Christianity." Krische said.
"But Christianity would believe that (self betterment is achieved) through community outreach and support. I couldn't do what I do without the support of the monastic community around me."
Krische said it could be healthy for students to listen to what the Krishnas have to say, as long as they have a clear understanding of their own faiths first.
The yoga taught in the Bhagavad-Gita is designed to help people focus on their individual spirituality through meditations.
"It's teaching the principle underlying all religions, which is called dharma, which is kind of like the stamp, or the brand, on the soul." Maharaja said. "The real nature of the soul cannot be changed. It has to be discovered."
He said that discovery was achieved through a simpler lifestyle, rather than projecting a false image. Two-hour morning meditations help people live this lifestyle.
"(The meditations) get the right focus and consciousness, and then the whole day everything you do can actually be a meditation." Maharaja said.

New Amini hall earns a different nickname
Most scholarship halls are known by their last names, but the construction of a second Amini hall called for a different approach.
"We usually call it Margaret or Maggie," said Amanda Roettger, Denver freshman and hall resident.
The new hall, Margaret Amini, will be dedicated tomorrow during a ceremony starting at 2 p.m. "Maggie" is the tenth scholarship hall and the fifth for women
The hall houses 50 women and is an architectural twin of the neighboring men's hall, K.K. Amiini, 1318 Louisiana St
Koli "K.K." Amini and his wife, Margaret, KU alumni from San Antonio, provided $1.5 million for the construction of the new hall.
K. K. Amini graduated in 1949 and was a resident of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall. Margaret Wenski Amini, a 1946 journalism graduate, will attend the ceremony.
"We're all really excited about the dedication." Roegtter said. "We're all trying to participate and make sure everybody who comes feels comfortable."

Clinton to meet leaders as sidelight to summit
NATION
NEW YORK — President Bill Clinton turned his attention to trouble spots in Asia and Europe after a day spent mostly treading familiar ground with Israeli and Palestinian leaders who remained at odds despite a fast-approaching peace deadline.
Clinton is meeting with a succession of world leaders this week as a sidelight to the U.N. Millennium Summit. Yesterday, he was to sit down with South Korean President Kim Daejung, and was expected to press the cause of peace for Cyprus during a meeting with Turkish President Ahmet Necdet Sezer. He also was to meet with a panel of African leaders.
The United Nations is sponsoring peace talks aimed at reunifying Cyprus, which has been split into a Greek Cypriot-controlled south and a Turkish-occupied north since Turkey invaded in July 1974.
Congress' tire hearings don't settle who's at fault
WASHINGTON — Ford blamed Firestone. Firestone hinted at a problem with Ford vehicles.
The new National Highway Traffic Safety Administration chief blamed them both. And lawmakers rebuked all three for dozens of fatal accidents that may be linked to defective Bridgestone/Firestone tires on Ford vehicles.
But more than 13 straight hours of congressional hearings Wednesday didn't determine what's happened with Bridgestone/Firestone tires and Ford trucks, primarily the Explorer SUV, that has caused them to be linked to 88 deaths and at least 250 injuries. But lawmakers aren't finished. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., plans to hold hearings of his own next week.
"This is just the beginning of this investigative process," said Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-La., who led the House hearing Wednesday.

Scholarship money can come from school, national outlets
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions and scholarships, said the University needed to sponsor scholarship packages to compete with other schools that offered similar packages.
"Would we get all these students without a scholarship package? No," Cerveny said. "In the past we've had students who said they wanted to come to KU, but were being offered full rides by another school. There's a lot of pressure with those kind of packages."

Police catch Lawrence man linked to six armed robberies
By Lauren Brandenbura
By Lauren Brandenbun
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The most recent armed robbery went just fine.
It was getting away that caused the problems for a man who police believe is responsible for a string of six armed robberies.
An armed man wearing a black ski mask, who police believe was Mark Andrew Hedquist, a 32-year-old Lawrence resident, entered Myers Retail Liquor, 902 W. 23rd St., at 10:24 p.m. Wednesday and demanded the cash in the registers, Lawrence police Det. M.T. Brown said. Brown said the man ordered the clerk to the ground, grabbed the money and ran out of the store.
That's when things stopped going according to plan.
Brown said an unidentified witness arrived as the suspect was leaving and called the police with a description of the suspect's vehicle. An officer driving on West 21st Street noticed a speeding vehicle driving north on Alabama Street. When the car ran a stop sign, the officer pulled in behind what was later identified as Hedquist's vehicle.
Although the police lights were flashing, the suspect did not pull over, Brown said. He stopped at stop signs initially.
The chase, which Brown lasted last five to seven minutes and involved 13 to 16 officers, then moved to Massachusetts Street. Officers blocked off side streets to prevent other cars from getting in its path.
At Sixth and Massachusetts streets, Hedquist intentionally rammed the back of a police car, causing damage but no injuries, Brown said. Hedquist then drove around the police car and veered northbound on the southbound side of the Kansas River bridge, where he jumped from the
moving car and began to run on foot.
Brown said the officers caught him on foot and found him with money, a gun and the clothes from the robbery. Police had taken him to the station for questioning by 10:53 p.m.
"Subsequent interviews revealed he was involved in six of the robberies," Brown said, adding that the detectives had been trying to solve the cases since the first robbery on Aug. 7.
Christine Tonkovich, Douglas County district attorney, said Hedquist had been charged with six felony counts of aggravated robbery and felony counts of kidnapping, fleeing a law enforcement officer and criminal damage. His bond is set at $100,000.
Lt. Kathy Tate reported that a preliminary hearing has been set for 2 p.m. Thursday at the Douglas County District Court.

Child center to be dedicated tomorrow
By Leita Schultes
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Hilltop Child Development Program has left the hill, but it has moved into a new $3.3 million building.
Its new building, near the Burge Union, is called the KU Child Care Center and will be dedicated at 9 a.m. Saturday, with tours and refreshments afterward. Despite the building's new name, the program will be retaining its title.
"We'd like to invite as many students as possible to come," said Pat Pisani, executive director for the program.
TALKING TO MARKERS
Pisani said Chancellor Robert Hemenway would speak at the dedication.
The new building opened Aug. 14, Pisani said, and University Relations is considering moving into the old facility, which is located east of the Kansas Union.
Other changes include child-sized restrooms and more safety, Pisani said. The center has an environmental theme, and equipment will arrive for two new playgrounds at the end of the month.
She said that students should be interested in the new center because they are paying for it. The building took 3 years to plan. Student fees cover 65 percent of the cost, and Hilltop contributes $81,000 annually. The University of Kansas also makes an annual contribution.
The new center has more classrooms and is licensed for 212 children. Last year Hilltop was licensed for only 146 children and had a longer waiting list.
"We have a building that's really designed for child

care, which is important," she said
The location of the new building is convenient as well, Pisani said. Many of the center's patrons are nontraditional students who live in nearby Stouffer Place.
Moving into the building has alleviated the need for space and allowed Pisani to focus on Hilltop's next priority: financial aid for students who use the center.
Autumn Baumbach, Salina sophomore sends her 3-year-old daughter to the center.
"Oh, I love it. It's absolutely wonderful." Baumbach said. "She loves it. This just gives her an opportunity to experience a variety of different cultures and different people."

Perspective
Masculinity not a disease to be cured
Two recent incidents of a most unfortunate nature — the alleged assault by two football players on a member of the women's soccer team and a rape on campus just before the start of the semester - should serve to concentrate the University's collective mind on the issue of how we, as young men and women, can live peaceably and, yes, even lovingly together here at KU.
"More Than a Few Good Men: A Lecture on American Manhood and Violence Against Women" given at the Lied Center last week by speaker Jackson Katz, offered a valuable opportunity to reflect on masculinity from a higher plane — one usually reserved for the deconstruction of gender as it pertains to the female sex.
Much of what Katz said was right on and only shocking in that it had to be said at all. ___
"Every issue that affects women affects men, too," was the basic articulation of reality in a world where men are born to mothers, love their wives and raise their daughters.
The trouble, Katz said, is that men too often fail to see the obvious and do not perceive violence against women as something they should worry about. The cause of such blindness? To Katz and a

nost of intellectual and ideological brethren, the problem is masculinity itself, or at least our traditional notion of it. Media images of muscled freaks carrying guns, out-of-control sports stars and "gangsta" rappers objectifying women all contribute to a social construct of hypermasculinity that chews up and spits out males unable to share their feelings and control themselves around women.
It is at this point that Katz and so many others go wrong. The assumption that masculinity is learned leads them to conclude that it can be harmlessly unlearned or at least relearned so as to make masculinity less, well, manly.
Entering the debate is a new book by scholar Christina Hoff Sommers titled The War Against Boys. In it, Sommers details how Katz and other gender-politics activists often mistake normal, healthy masculinity for a disease that must be cured through education. She quotes Katz at a July 1998 conference in Kansas City as saying, "I know very few healthy men."
In the teacher's guide to a video curriculum Katz co-produced for schools, the idea that masculinity has been "socially constructed" is explained. "What a culture embraces as 'masculine' can be better understood as an ideal or standard — a projection, a pose or a guise that boys and men often adopt to shield their vulnerability and adapt to the local values and expectations of their immediate and more abstract social environments," the guide says. It goes on to direct the teacher to reject the idea that men are simply more violent by nature as "anti-intellectual." But what if its true?
Sommers cites evidence in the form of cross-cultural studies that tell us what we already know; that "boys are universally more bellicose." The culture or society in which they mature does not change that fact. Sommers' primary concern is that the "equity specialists" designing much of the curriculum see boys, "these insulting, hitting, chasing, competitive creatures" and think of them as protocriminals. She points to one school that attempted to reformate the game of "tag" so that nobody could actually get tagged out, let feelings be bruised and buried and the strongest rise to the top.
If this sounds political, it is. Katz's video program is thinly disguised political propaganda. In a section titled "Backlash." Ronald Reagan is evoked as a figurehead of backward thinking that opposes the social progress of women and feminization of men. No mention is given to our current perpetrator-in-chief, who, we have reason to believe, assaults women and has been callous to the women closest to him.
Traditional masculinity contributes much to the lives we live together. Risk-taking, bravery, physical power, protection, leadership — all would suffer. There can be no doubt these attributes must be checked and channeled within a strong, disciplined moral environment so that they are deployed selflessly and for noble purposes. Efforts to wring the manliness out of men and young boys, however, will not succeed without diluting those virtues.

Perspective
A after three years here. I've decided college is simply junior high with beer. I've attended off-campus parties, greek
parties and even on-campus parties (yes, they do exist), and the interactions between males and females regress to a seventh-grade level at every party. Not to say this just happens at parties; I've seen the same conversations take place at bars and even on campus between classes. And, by the way, some of the names have been changed.

When I was in junior high, boys and girls would use any opportunity to touch the object of their affection. We played many games of touch foot
can that evolved into full-contact tackle football at the addition of a player of the opposite sex. Now, roughhousing (as my mom called it) is a regular occurrence; however, tickling and wrestling have usurped tackle football as the flirting game of choice.

It's a simple concept. Sitting around, drinking beer and "watching a movie" (the best excuse to sit alone in a dark room), one of the pair works up the courage to touch the other. Rather than use the extremely blatant yawn/arm-over-the-shoulder routine or the casual hand on the thigh, this person nudges his or her partner and, if he or she responds in kind, the game is on. One-upmush府 forces each person to outickle, out-
In junior high, using the telephone was tormenting with long, awkward pauses any young victim who attempted to contact someone of the opposite sex. Now, in my opinion, the Geneva Convention should have banned the telephone as a vehicle for torture. I consider myself fairly articulate, and most of my conversations with young ladies who have unfortunately earned my admiration go something like this:
nudge or outsqueeze until one partner grabs the other and wrestles him or her to the floor. Presto! Instant physical contact.
"Oh, Hi. Uh, this is Eric."
"Hello."
"Who?"
"Um, yeah. How are you?"
WHO:
"Eric, you know, from class?"
"Not too bad. So, would you like to go out this weekend?"
"All right. (long pause) Well, um, I guess I'll see in class tomorrow?"
"OK, Bye."
"OK."
In junior high, we made note-passing an art form. In college, it is a rare night when one of my buddies does not ask me to inquire of some female her opinion of my friend, or some female inquires of my friend's opinion of her.
I could write a book about the college regression phenomenon, but I need to call this girl who is friends with another girl I really like. Maybe I'll ask her to come over this weekend.
"Yeah."

Editorial
Add/Drop requires patience
Students should give enrollment employees a break during Add/Drop.
Every year it happens, and every year the same people deal with it. It is the grumbling that comes from the mouths of students waiting in line to undergo the Add/Drop process at the enrollment center in Strong Hall and the University of Kansas employees who have to deal with it.
Many students have come to terms with the outdated enrollment and Add/Drop processes that are a part of life at the University. Still, many students have bad attitudes, and the Add/Drop employees who deal with the chaos in the enrollment center should be commended.
Long lines to get into the enrollment center often wrap around the first floor of Strong Hall, sometimes causing a wait of up to an hour. Instead of becoming disgruntled, students should think about the people who sit behind the computers for eight hours a day changing class schedules. Some students get the impression that it is the fault of the people working in the Enrollment Center that the line is so long or that they do not get their requested classes at first. Students tend to take out their aggression and frustration on the people working in the Enrollment Center when they are there only to help.
Other major universities have solved enrollment problems by implementing online or telephone enrollment systems. In online or telephone enrollment, students do not have to stand around in a poorly air-conditioned building for up to an hour waiting to get their class schedules.
Unfortunately, at the University, we do not yet have another option, so students should make the best of the situation. The griping and complaining does not cause the line to move any faster but rather adds to the irritation of the others in line.
It is not the Enrollment Center employees' fault that the University does not have a more convenient system so students should exercise patience in the long lines at Strong Hall next time around.

Greeks to break down stereotypes
Weekend retreat geared toward new members
By J.D. McKee
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The greek community will host its annual new member retreat to help break down stereotypes about fraternities and sororities this weekend at Camp Chippewa, west of Ottawa.
"This is so the new pledges don't get misconceptions about other houses," said David Pitler, one of 26 facilitators who will attend the camp. "It's a good
start for freshmen."
Pitler, Wichita sophomore, said the facilitators' duty was to make the attendees comfortable and to serve as a sort of camp counselor. Two facilitators team up — one male and one female — and then are in charge of ten members at the camp.
"We're more friendly than administrative." he said.
Four members from each house will be able to attend the retreat, a total of 115 new members.
Katie Slaughter, Manhattan senior and co-coordinator of the retreat, said that one of the main points of the camp was for the students to take the information back to their respective pledge classes.
"We want all the members to take home what they learned and teach the

other members of their house," she said.
The retreat also will focus on leadership and ways for the new members to get involved with KU organizations.
"We want the new members to know how many opportunities there are for them on campus." Slaughter said.
Some of the activities the campers will hear about include community service.
battered women shelters and sexual orientations.
The campers will also have speakers, such as Al Calarco, a motivational speaker from North Carolina. Slaughter said Calarco would speak about the way the Greek community is changing and how others view participation in the greek system.
The retreat will begin tonight at the Kansas Union. The group will take a bus to the camp tomorrow morning. They will spend tomorrow and Sunday morning at Camp Chippewa before returning to campus.
Social events will follow each session this weekend. Pitler said alcohol would be involved, in accordance with Greek policy.

Early-morning classes test devotion to learning as students, teachers rise at the...
By Karen Lucas writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Kirby Fields teaches writing at an hour that is unthinkable for some people.
Fields, a graduate teaching assistant in English, meets with his English 101 class at 7:30 a.m. three days a week. But being in the classroom before many students and staff arrive on campus is not something he dreads.
"I requested it because I think you get higher caliber students at 7:30 in the morning," he said.
"Almost all of them chose to be there," he said. "It makes you at least optimistic they are not going to be nodding off at that hour."
Fields' preference for an early morning class is shared by others, including most of his 25 students. He said he took a poll the first day of class and learned that his students wanted the 7:30 class.
Jeff Koenigs, Seattle freshman, gets up at 5:45. He said Fields' class was compatible with his 40-hour work week schedule. Koenigs said he also liked being there at a time when the building wasn't crowded.
Yet Rahle Fonteen, Manhattan freshman, said even though she liked Fields, she would have preferred to take the class later in the day.
"It's hard getting up early," she said. "This was the only one I could fit into my schedule," she said.
Regardless of their reasons for being there, Fields' students seemed to have no problem staying interested in a recent class.
Fields drew laughs from them when he referred to the 2 Live Crew song "Me So Horny" and compared attendees at the recent Republican convention to the characters from Beverly Hills 90210.
"I didn't expect him to be engaging and funny," Koenigs said. "His sense
of humor makes the time go by faster.
If we were to have a boring teacher, I might very well go to sleep."
"This is kind of what I got stuck with," he said. "Basically, I think the new GTAs get the early classes."
No problem finding a parking space
In another classroom on the fourth floor of Wesco, Ken Parker, GTA in mathematics, teaches a 7:30 a.m. precalculus class to about 55 students. Unlike Fields, Parker said he would
Parker did say that having a 7:30 class was beneficial in one way.
"The plus is you don't ever have a problem finding a parking space," he said.
Even though students can't say they were late because they had trouble parking, Parker is not strict
about tardiness. When a few students arrived during the first 10 minutes of his lecture on graphing equations, Parker didn't let it bother him.
"I don't care," he said. "They weren't that late."
One latecomer, Frank Dillon,
Eudora freshman, said he was late
because he missed his bus. Still, he
said he liked going to class that early.
"I don't want to have classes in the afternoon," he said. "I've always been a morning person."
Another of Parker's students, Stuart Holmes, Dallas freshman, said he preferred a 7:30 class so wouldn't waste the day. But his 6:15 a.m. wake-up time also has a drawback.
"Sometimes, I get a little tired later in the day, and then I just take an hour nap," he said.
Trying to accommodate all students
Parker's and Fields' departments aren't the only ones offering 7:30 classes. Chemistry labs and health, sport and exercise sciences classes are some of the other courses that students can take early in the morning.
Brenda Selman, associate registrar,
said schools and departments decided
when they wanted to offer classes.
The Office of the University Registrar,
in turn, finalizes the schedules
and works with a school or department if there is a space problem.
Robin Holladay, office supervisor for freshman and sophomore English.
said she emphasizes variety when scheduling part-time staff.
"We try to accommodate all students, from those that like an early morning class to the nontraditional student who needs a class after work or in the evening," she said.
But Hollady said she would stop scheduling 7:30 classes if the time came when nobody wanted to teach them.
Some departments don't offer 7:30 classes.
Melanie Hepburn, assistant dean of Social Welfare, said scheduling classes before 8:30 a.m. would inconvenience many of the school's students because they had to commute to Lawrence.
"It would be a hardship for them to get here any earlier," she said. Even if a 7:30 class is listed in the timetable, that doesn't mean it ends up being offered.
"Sometimes, we only have two or three students who enroll in a 7:30 section," said Danny Anderson, professor and chairman of Spanish and Portuguese. "With classes that small, we cancel them and move the students into other sections."
Jeff Moran, professor of history, said he doubted students could perform well at 7:30 a.m.
"I don't think students are ready to think analytically at that time of day," he said.

Kansas plans to win, defend perfect record
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The 4-0 Kansas women's volleyball team is out to double its record this weekend, as it takes on four opponents at its home volleyball extravaganza, the Jayhawk Classic.
The matches start today when Kansas takes on East Carolina at noon in the Horesei Family Athletics Center. After that, the Jayhawks battle West Virginia at
7 p.m. Kansas will face Furman at noon tomorrow and then wrap things up against Mississippi at 7 toromorrow night.
Coach Ray Bechard said winning all four of those matches this weekend was important to his 'Hawks for more reasons than maintaining their flawless first two weeks.
The most important of those reasons is that the Jayhawks haven't won the Classic since Bechard arrived at KU in 1998. In fact, the Jayhawks have won four out of seven tournaments since his tenure began, and, of the three losses, two were at the Classic.
"We've got to get a win here," said Nancy Bell, senior outside hitter. "Everything's got to be on this weekend."
To Bechard, "on" means the Jayhawks must improve defensively. That means the Jayhawks must protect every square inch of the court, even if it means a nose-dive

Teams involved: Kansas, East Carolina,
West Virginia, Furman and Ole Miss.
When: Matches start at 10 a.m. today and
tomorrow.
Where: Horeisi Family Athletic Center
dig.
"Digging is something we need to do better," Beckard said. "We need to take every ball."
However, Bechard doesn't think the offensive facet of his team is flawless either.
"We want to start out-passing and out-serving our opponents," Bechard said after his team disposed of Wichita State, 3-0, Wednesday night. "Once again, we fell behind in our pass/serve stats."
The Jayhawks can't afford to be off, or low, on their pass/serve stats this weekend.
Unlike the winless Shockers, who have now dropped four games, the teams at the Classic might be more of a challenge.
East Carolina, 2-1, has won its last two matches after suffering an opening-season loss to Stanford. West Virginia is 1-2 on the season, while Furman is winless at 0-4.
Mississippi, 2.2, sports two 6-foot 2 underclassmen and a junior, Jamie Burns, who is leading the team with 3.94 kills per game.

Boehardt said, "They all should be tough."
But not. But they invigilable.

"I know we beat West Virginia last year." Bell said. "It will be an extremely good position for us to start the Conference out at 8-0."

Creating football schedule poses dilemmas

chance to succeed."
Sometimes it's hard to understand how tough building a college football schedule can be.
Associate athletics director Richard Konzem's biggest problem is trying to build a fair and balanced schedule for the Jayhawks that is also entertaining for the fans.
"We want to build a schedule that will keep fans interested," he said. "But we also want one where the team can have a reasonable
it seems as though no matter what Konzem, Bob Frederick, athletics director, and football coach Terry Allen have done to schedule success, there has been little chance to have it.
kansas started a home-and-home series with Mountain West Conference member San Diego State last year. To Konzem, it looked like a nice non-conference game in Lawrence against a recognizable opponent. It turned into a 41-13 loss that became the lowest point during Allen's tenure at Kansas.
to be nonest, when we scheuled San Diego State they were not very good," Konzem said.
After the Aztecs pounded Kansas, it looked like a good idea that the Jayhawks had arranged a home-and-home series with Southern Methodist. The Jayhawks won their home game 27-9 last season, but playing in the Mustangs' new on-campus stadium to start the year — when Kansas has been pathetic on the road — was too much.
Kansas lost 31-17 last Saturday and has to sit on that loss until it plays again Sept. 16 at home
against Alabama-Birmingham.
Again, scheduling a relatively easy non-conference opponent backfired. The game last Saturday should have been a perfect opportunity for the Jayhawks to end their road jinx and build momentum. Instead, it turned into a period in which the Jayhawks could only pound themselves in practice for awhile.
Some players are itching to play again, ready for redemption. Others want the extra time for planning. Allen is giving the players time off from practice today
"I want to play again," said junior cornerback Andrew Davison said. "But at the same time, I'm pretty sore, I don't know if I am physically ready to. That's why the week off can help."
The question now is whether the Jayhawks can rebound. It remains to be seen if Kansas can keep fans' attention spans by playing two weaker opponents, UAB and Southern Illinois, after losing to SMU.

Soccer team to heat up West Coast
By Yoshitaka Ebisawa
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Warning to Californians: a heat wave from Kansas may strike Irvine this weekend.
The Jayhawks (2-2) are on the west coast this weekend to participate in the California-Irvine Tournament in Irvine, Calf; playing against UC-Irvine today and Cal State-Fullerton Sunday.
No, the wave isn't the triple-digit one that recently exhausted Lawrence residents. It's the much-improved Kansas women's soccer team that beat Creighton 4-1 Monday.
"We've changed the defense a little bit because there was a little bit of problem," coach Mark Francis said. "I think since we changed it, it's been good."
Kansas was at its lowest when it lost to Illinois 4-0 Aug. 27. As players have learned new formations and connected with each other both on and off the field, the Jayhawks have begun to show their potential.
CALIFORNIA-IRVINE
TOURNAMENT
"Monday's game really helped us because I think everyone started to understand how to be better, and we got the result we wanted," said junior forward Natalie Hoogleveld, who had a goal and two assists in the Creighton game. "So-we are staying positive, willing to learn."
Teams involved: Kansas, UC-Irvine, Cal-Foothill
And that allowed them to destroy Creighton Monday.
Teams involved: Kansas, UC-Irvine,
State Fullerton.
When: Today through Sunday.
Where: Irvine, Calif.
Despite the improvement, Francis doesn't think the team is in its best shape vet.
"Some of them still need to be fitter," he said. "Some of them still can't play for 90 minutes if we need them to."
This could be a reasonable concern because the Jayhawks will face two talented teams this weekend.
UC-Irvine (2-1), a nationally-recognized team, will begin the tournament on the heels of a victory in last weekend's FILA Women's Soccer Classic at Cal State-Fullerton.
"UC-Irvine is a very physical, athletic team," Francis said. "The biggest thing is to stay organized and communicate better at the back and in the midfield. Offensively, we are doing a great job pushing forward and we need to continue to do that this weekend."
Sunday's opponent, Cal State Fullerton (2-2), which played host to the FILA classic last weekend, beat Louisville 3-1 but lost 3-1 to Toledo at the tournament.
"I only know a little bit about them, but I think the game Friday is going to be a little tougher than Sunday," Francis said. "Fullerton is very physical team also, but Irvine is more athletic than Fullerton."
No matter how physical the opponents will be, Francis said he expected the team to win the tournament.
"We are going in there with that goal," he said.

CHEMISTRY
IN SPORTS AND
RESEARCH
Games offer alternative to boredom, math class
Reason No. 2 why Kansas volleyball is better than math class: Few students who are sitting in math class are at risk of getting hit with a stray volleyball. That stuff's fun to watch.
Reason No. 1 why Kansas volleyball is better than math class: Few math classes offer the excitement of bumps, spikes, kills, free T-shirts, Kansas cheerleaders, and volleyballs sailing into the crowd at ultrahigh speeds.
Those are just two of the many reasons why you should make the jaunt down to the Horejsi Family Athletic Center today at noon, when the Kansas volleyball team takes on East Carolina in its first match of the Jayhawk Classic Tournament. (The Horejsi Center is that little brick building between Allen Fieldhouse and Hoglund Ballpark).
By no means am I asking you to skip your math class, your history class or even your basket weaving class to come watch the Jayhawks play.
But I want you to know it's okay to do so.
If there is a conflict with your class schedule, though, the Jayhawks play again tonight at 7 against West Virginia, tomorrow at noon against Furman and again tomorrow at 7 p.m. against Mississippi.
I'm not pleading for you to come or anything like that. I remember an old Saturday Night Live skit in which Adam Sandler is "The Herilhy Boy." His main mission in life is to stay at your house and ease your concern while you're on vacation. He promises to water the plants, sleep in your bed and then wash your sheets afterward. He begs, he pleads and then he begs some more. That's what you call pleading. I'm not doing anything like that.
But it would be worthwhile for you to come. The Jayhawks are 4-0 this season. Already they have captured the championship at the Purdue Mortar Board Premier Tournament. They also swept Wichita State 3-0 on Wednesday night at the Horejsi Center.
The Jayhawks boast senior outside hitters Amy Myatt and Nancy Bell, who are first and second on the team in kills, and fierce-hitting senior middle blocker Danielle Geronymo. Molly LaMere continues to show why she is one of the top setters in the Big 12 Conference, and freshman Sarah Rome appears to be the real thing. She recorded nine kills and nine digs against Wichita State.
The Kansas players also throw free T-shirts into the crowd before matches, the Kansas cheerleaders are there on a regular basis and the KU band shows up sometimes, too. Then, between the second and third games of matches, fans are invited to come down from the bleachers and take part in competitions to win prizes like KU merchandise and large pizzas.
Realistically speaking, I was exaggerating a bit before. Not many spectators get hit with volleyballs, but when a volleyball sails into the crowd, it's fun to watch the reaction.
So that's why you should come at least once this weekend.
Oh, and if for some reason you're concerned about leaving the house to come and watch, give me a call. I'm sure I have the Herlihy Boy's phone number around here somewhere.

Nebraska team waning with four players gone
BASKETBALL
Forfitting a season opener is not the
way an env队 wants to start its season.
The Nebraska men's basketball team may have to do just that if many more players get suspended.
Barry Collier was hired in March, following the firing of Danny Nee. Since Collier's hiring, the number of players who will be suspended or kicked off the team has grown to four.
Collier announced Wednesday that Danny Walker, senior guard, had been kicked off the team. He cited a violation of team rules as the reason for the dismissal.
"Establishing discipline in our program is a short-term cost for long-
term gain," Collier said.
Also announced Wednesday was the three-game suspension of Rodney Fields, senior guard. His suspension stems from a violation of team rules as well.
Originally, Fields and Cany Cochran, junior guard, had been suspended by the NCAA for accepting money in return for their work at Nee's basketball camp before they were enrolled at the university. The NCAA Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee decided to reinstate both players, though, as long as each donated the money they received to the charity of their choice.
Other suspensions are of Kimani Friend, senior center, and John Robinson, Jr., junior guard, also for a violation of team rules. Both are suspended for three games, which include both exhibition games and the season opener against Oral Roberts on Saturday, Nov. 18.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — More than an AFC West victory will be at stake when the Seattle Seahawks play the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium Stadium, Oct. 2.
Under a one-time arrangement sanctioned by the NFL, the ABC broadcast will be simulcast across the parking lot at Kauffman Stadium — home of the Kansas City Royals — as the Chiefs seek to break the all-time, on-site record for paid attendance in the regular season. Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt said yesterday.
The current record as listed by the NFL is 90,833, set in 1958 when the Chicago Bears played the Rams at the Los Angeles Coliseum, according to the Chiefs.

The wait for competition will finally end tomorrow for the Kansas men's and women's cross country teams.
The Jayhawks will play host to Wichita State, Oklahoma and
Timmons Invitational tomorrow morning at Rim Rock Farm near Lawrence.
The Invitational is Kansas' only home meet of the season, and first-year coach Stanley Redwine said he thought
tomorrow was a great way to start the 2000 campaign.
"It's going to be a small meet, but it will be a quality meet," he said. "For the purpose of this meet, which is to get us ready for the year, this meet will do fine. All of the teams will get to see where they are."
Redwine said he was excited to see his squad in competition for the first time and noted that although there had been strong performers in practice, he was
reluctant to predict who would perform well.
"I'm really just looking for a strong team effort," he said. "I don't want to point anyone out yet, but we have a pretty good idea who can place high for us."

that has high expectations for this season. Prince said this season had been a new start, with a new coaching staff and new conditioning.
"I feel like the team is really coming along," he said. "I feel like I'm
in way better shape than I was this time last year, and I think it's the same for the whole team."
No seniors will run for the women's team, and many newcomers will have a chance to shine this season.
Redwine said he knew that this meet was key, especially for the women, because getting the first-race experience out of the way was very important.
Sophomore Eve Lamborn said she thought the new coaching staff
"I feel like the team is really coming along. I feel like I'm in way better shape than I was this time last year,and I think it's the same for the whole team."
Pete Prince

had given the team hope for a great season.
"They are really concerned with detail-oriented things," she said. "They want to make everybody out there better, and I know that has really helped my confidence going into this year."
Tomorrow's meet will begin with the women's race at 10 a.m. and will be followed immediately by the men's race at 11 a.m.

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION,
HELEN, YOUVE NEVER GIVEN
YOU AND DOLG A CHANCE.
LUCY HE MAKES ME
WANT TO KILL HIM!
Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet
Schedule aims to please both fans and team
So this is the life of a negotiator like Konzem, who has done this since 1908 and also schedules Kansas basketball games. His goal is to get more home games than road — ideally, six at home and five on the road — and do it with a reasonable budget that does not break the bank.
Continued from page 1B
The stakes involved in qualifying for a bowl game has made scheduling more difficult. Teams like Kansas, borderline for reaching six wins to play in the post-season, are becoming more reluctant to risk the opportunity with a road game unless the payment is high enough.
Konzem said the Jayhawks are having more trouble getting games because low-tier teams are playing the likes of Penn State or Nebraska, which come with financial payouts ranging from $400,000 to $500,000 — prices Kansas cannot compete with.
"But that doesn't always work out either," he said, noting Penn State's loss last Saturday at home to Toledo.
Superconferences, such as the Big 12 Conference, have made scheduling tough, too. Kansas still plays Oklahoma, Kansas State, Nebraska and Texas, all currently top-25 teams. There is little incentive to schedule tough teams beyond those if the Jayhawks want to keep a reasonable shot at a bowl game.
The conference dictates games against conference foes. There are rules, such as not playing two consecutive road games, but Kansas can't choose the sequence of opponents. This year Kansas opens conference play at Oklahoma, against Kansas State and at Missouri.
"I try to be on top of it," he said. "Pass along opportunities or seek out opportunities that are useful for the football program."
Konzem is already looking forward. It is a quirk process, and Kansas already has its non-conference schedule set for 2003, playing North Texas, at San Diego State and UNLV. Konzem is still working on next season's schedule.
Who knows? Kansas could make a run at the national championship. Maybe it's Alabama-Birmingham's year. Scheduling is tricky. Who knows what the future holds.
Scheduling is aicky. Who knows what the future holds.

tion of a fully recognized club in 1999. Since the club's founding, membership has increased from three to 20, and the group has focused on the same skills the whole time.
"I always wanted to learn karate, but my parents discouraged me," said McKinley. "When I came to school, I wanted to learn self-defense skills." Edited by Earl Nutt
Unlike some karate organizations, the Karate Club requires the understanding of kobudo. In addition to enhancing coordination skills, kobudo gives people ancient weapon training.
Despite the sometimes-negative perception of weapons, Ayres said the use of practicing with traditional weapons builds confidence and provides weight-training skills.
Rachel Fuller, Augusta senior, said she never imagined she would participate in karate, let alone become the co-founder of a club dedicated to it.
Fuller wanted to learn more self-defense skills when she discovered the sport in Pittsburg, Kan., while completing a research project. By chance, Fuller met Ayres and his wife, Jennifer, Bushton senior, in 1998.

PERSONALITY PROFILE
Former Child Stars Take On Role Of Student
By Stacey Shackford
"For me, college is a chance to expand myself. I don't want to mentally be where I am right now in five years." Those may sound like the words of a typical college student, but Tatyana Ali hardly fits that description.
You may remember her as Will Smith's little sister on the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air." She's grown up since then and is now studying Afro-American studies and government at Harvard, in between tours to promote her blossoming singing career and new album Kiss the Sky (tatyana-ali.com).
You've probably heard about some of Ali's high-profile classmates, including Natalie Portman (natportman.com) and Jonathan Taylor Thomas (members.aol. com/cummy1234), child stars who continue to act while earning their degrees at Harvard.
But whatever happened to the cast from that classic hit, "Full House?" Most of them
Barber, 23, graduated last year from Whittier College in California, and now works at the school (angelfire.com/ca/ abarber/bio.html).
Her younger "Full House" co-star Jodie Sweetin, or Stephanie "How rude!" Tanner, is entering her sophomore year at Chapman University in Orange, CA (sweetin.com /onestop).
Many former child stars are lost in the crowd at UCLA these days, including Jaleel "Urkel" White, 23, (angelfire.com/tx/skybolt/white.html) and Kellie Williams. 24, (www4.ncsu.edu/~armeadow/kellie/) both from "Family Matters." "Blossom"'s Mayim Bialik, 24, is also at UCLA, working on her Ph.D. in neuroscience.
Another famous face from the past Danica McKellar, who played Winnie Cooper on "The Wonder Years," went to UCLA. McKellar, 25, graduated summa cum laude in 1998 with a degree in math that she puts to use posting calculus advice on her web

returned to the real world, where they now revel in new roles—as average coeds.
"I love being a student. If I could, I'd stay in school forever," Andrea Barber, who played ditzy Kimmy Gibler, told People magazine last month (people.aol.com/ people/sp/watn).

How to build your own web site From The Ground Up
By Marc Gerard
You have a dream—of a web site, a colorful, animated slice of the Internet for your very own, with pictures of your junior year abroad, a message board, and links to your favorite bands. You want to put yourself out there-you want to be seen.
But there's a problem. You don't know HTML, never mind anything about stylesheets or any other sheets. And JavaScript? What is that, some crazy font or something?
The good news is that you don't actually have to have a lot of tech know-how to build a basic home page. In fact, you don't need much at all. A little curiosity and some basic computer skills will do just fine.
Store it
The first thing to work out when you decide to build your home page is where you're going to store it. In other words, you have to hunt down a server.Most college
checking out downloads.com. Search the site for web editors, and you'll get a list of both shareware and demo programs that you can sample for yourself. Among the more popular editors are Microsoft's Front Page (microsoft.com/frontpage) and Adobe's Page Mill (adobe.com/products/pagemill/main.html).
PageMill is a great editor for beginners and though Adobe has recently stopped selling it (their current editor is called GoLive), it's still available at downloads.com.
Once you've nailed down a server and picked an editor, you're ready to build your site. I recommend starting simple: animation, rollovers—when your text or picture changes as the mouse cursor moves over it-movies, and sounds all require a little more advanced work.
You can create a text-based web site by typing the text into the editor as you would when using a web processor.
Shareware's a good way to go for beginners; these images, icons and backgrounds are easy to import and instantly rewarding.
For your next, more advanced project there's a gazillion sites out there to help you with design issues, enhancements, and more complicated procedures.
Like anything else, web design takes some practice, especially since the web advances so quickly. But soon you'll have it all figured out, and that site you imagined will be yours—complete with a flashy intro page, home movies, animated pictures, and rollover text. And I can't wait to see it. *

students can store their pages on their university's server for free, so check that option out before paying an Internet company.

For this and all other things related to web site creation, head straight to webmonkey.com-one of the most informative web-design sites out there.
Edit it
If you'd rather stick with the basics and avoid writing your own code, then the next step is to find a program to write the code for you.
This program is called a web editor, and there are several versions available. Most of them are relatively simple to use—not too much more difficult than a word processor or a basic drawing program. Some editors are available as shareware, but others can be quite expensive.To get a feel for the different editors at your disposal, I'd recommend

Protect yourself and your friends against email hoaxes and viruses.

When you were a kid, did you really send out ten letters to everyone including a dollar or some other token? Who was the recipient of all that chain mail? Who was the person in the letter, the one who received a million dollars just days later?
Those were the terms of a chain letter circa 1986, when people still sent real mail. Today, thousands of chain emails clog computer systems all over the world—and nobody to date has received a million dollars.

The Computer Incident Advisory Capability (www.ciac.org), a division of the Department of Energy, lists many known hoaxes to check out, including the Bill Gates/$1000 scam and the kidney harvest warning (my personal favorite). Other sites, including About.com (search for "email hoaxes"), offer tips on how to spot and avoid hoaxes, and what you should do in the event you receive one.
General warnings to heed:
Keep away from files with the extensions .vbs, .exe, .com, and .js. Also, go to the sites of some of the top antivirus companies: symantec.com and mcafee.com for ways to protect yourself.
Viral Infection
We can laugh off a silly email, but it's hard to ignore when it comes with a fatal attachment. In May of 2000, computers in the United States and abroad were attacked by the I LOVE YOU virus, a nasty little polymorphic program that replicated itself through
microsoft.com, but even that comes with its own set of problems. The new security lets users select the attachments they'll accept alerts users of suspicious attachments, and changes the security restrictions on Outlook.
Releasing the Bug
So who writes these viruses? Mostly college and high school students looking for attention or testing out a new prank. Despite the ramifications of a virus like I LOVE YOU, there's very little legal recourse. The legislation dates back to the Computer Abuse Act of 1984, which covers unauthorized access to computer systems. The alleged author of I LOVE YOU, Onel A. de Guzman of the Philippines, says he may have accidentally released the virus. In any case, he can't (yet) be extradited to the United States for prosecution, and the Philippines doesn't have any computer-specific laws. Most experts say that legislation won't stop hackers anyway. Industries have to commit to tightening security.
But security is only as good as the next hacker. One virus dubbed Timofonica, originating in Spain, threatened cell phones and hand-held devices like the Palm Pilot. Any wireless connection has the potential of bringing an infection to the device via downloads. Symantec reports that they are working on anti-virus software for the Palm operating system.

Desktop MP3 players
A guide to finding and storing your online music files
By Kathryn Yu
MP3 technology allows music to be stored digitally in a manageable size; file sharing programs like Napster and Gnutella allow music lovers to swap their favorites. But you still need a desktop MP3 player to actually play the files.
Almost all desktop MP3 players are free and can handle everything from MIDI files to CDs. Even though MP3 files are inferior in quality to CDs, a good MP3 player can bridge the gap.
A good audio player is similar to a physical stereo. But with them you can also create playlists and send them to your friends—try that with your CD player! And there's a wealth of plug-ins to enhance both the audio and visual.
One multimedia player, K-jofol (kjofol.org), is designed for many formats but still performs well when playing MP3 files. This
With Desktop MP3 players you can create playlists and send them to your friends-try doing that with your CD player.
futuristic-looking player has the ability to turn transparent if you're running Windows 2000. K-jofol also supports Internet
Relay Chat (IRC), so everyone in a chat room can be automatically alerted to what you're listening to.
Three Top Players
One of the top MP3 players around is Sonique (sonique.lycos.com). The player boasts stylish skins, a wealth of plug-ins and amazing audio quality. Sonique's unique interface isn't very intuitive, but you'll love all the useful features, help and links to music news and concert guides, and web-based MP3 search engines from Lycos and Hotbot integrated into the application. Sonique has 20 bands on the audio enhancement control

to perfect equalization settings.
Winamp (winamp.com) is the most popular MP3 player on the market, but it's not necessarily the best. Getting beyond the basics can be confusing, since most of the advanced functions are buried and require a couple of clicks to access. Winamp also makes audio files sound flattened and muddies the lower register certain audio plug-ins can remedy this problem. Your eyes will be happy, though with the huge number of plug-ins producing psychedelic effects.The player can be collapsed into an extremely compact form by double-clicking on the title bar.And running Winamp isn't a huge drain on your computer.
The Jukebox Option
If you want something more, go for a jukebox. They have all the standard MP3 features, but can keep track of your entire music library, so you can sort according to band, song title, year, genre, even album and track number. You can add information such as mood (comatose to wild), tempo, even rank how much you like a certain song Jukeboxes even offer a place to store lyrics, biographies, notes, album art, even links to artists and CD stores.
MusicMatch Jukebox (musicmatch.com) has an interesting recommendation feature. If you're willing to give up some of your privacy and let the jukebox snoop through what songs you're playing, the MusicMatch guide online gives you recommendations on what you'd likely enjoy.

The player collapses into two tiny strips that intersect at the bottom corner of your screen, saving space because they lie on top of where scroll bars normally go.
Windows Media Player (microsoft.com/windows/windows media/en/default.asp) has been redesigned and pumped up by Microsoft in a bid for domination (what else?) of the desktop media player market. That dinky piece of software from a few years ago is back, as a full-fledged media player designed for perfect integration with the Internet. With a clunky yet cool look, this supports almost every media format. It comes with several creative skins—everything from alien heads to giant eyeballs.And sort through the approximately two dozen visualizations included so you can have your very own laser show on your computer.

Mary Lorson's New Band, Saint Low Lead singer from Madder Rose spins a solo disk.
By Mac Randall
On the lengthy list of criminally underappreciated bands of the 1990s, Madder Rose has got to be near the top. Four albums and a few EPs' worth of intelligent and tuneful pop won this New York-area quartet critical acclaim and a small but devoted cult audience.
things, because I'd never mastered the electronics. I thought, 'Wait a minute, I haven't learned how to do this yet!'
But lead singer Mary Lorson found herself frustrated by the band's lack of commercial progress and sitting on a
So Lorson decided it was time to form her own band and play her own songs, organically. (Madder Rose is officially "on hiatus," and Coté is working on a solo album.) Lorson's new band, Saint Low, recently released its self-titled debut
"I found myself wanting to revisit the more organic way of doing things, because I'd never mastered the electronics. I thought, 'Wait a minute, I haven't learned how to do this yet!'"
growing backlog of songs that weren't right for Madder Rose. She also felt a little uncomfortable about guitarist, principal songwriter, and main squeeze Billy Coté's growing interest in sampled beats and electronic experimentation.

album on Thirsty Ear, after more than a year's worth of rehearsal and recording.
Larson followed her own path.
Madder Rose fans, be advised: This album is substantially different from what you're used to hearing from Lorson. Two tracks, "Only One" and "A Thing Or Two," nod slightly to the hooky and upbeat, but on the whole, Saint Low is hushed, introspective, almost haunted. On tunes like the smoldering "Anywhere" and the wistful "Tall Trees" (probably the first pop song to be

dedicated to Ted Kazcynski), Lorson's high, yearning voice is countered by Zaun Mashburn's jazz tinged drumming and Michael Stark's fluid keyboard playing. Elsewhere, the violin of Joe Myer and the cello of Hank Roberts lend a stoic back-country feel to the music.
Lorson followed her own muse for this album. "I said to the band, 'We're gonna go wild here' and they looked sorta stumped. So I ended up doing it myself."
Sophisticated singer/songwriters like Joni Mitchell come to mind, an influence that Lorson readily acknowledges. A more contemporary influence is evident on the album's 10minute neo-psychedelic closing track,"After the Fall,"Lorson reveals that it caused her bandmates some problems. "I kept trying to get the band to do that [lengthy outro],but
they missed the whole era of '90s prog indie-rock that I loved. They'd never heard of Spiritualized. I'd say, 'We're
gonna go wild here,' and they would just look sort of stumped. So I ended up doing that part myself on the record. Once they heard the recording, they were like, 'Oh yeah, we can try that.' They just didn't have the reference points," she says with a laugh.
With a U.S. tour in the works for Saint Low, it looks like they'll have plenty of opportunity to acquire the right tastes. -

Top reasons freshmen drop out
Nationally one in four freshmen don't return for their sophomore year. Some schools have better retention rates than others, but let's face it, change is good for some students.
Here are the main reasons freshmen leave college:
- Failure to break away from high school friends and family.
- Failure to accept their new role as college student.
- Don't bond with college socially or academically-or both.

Campus police arrest student in Hashinger battery case
By Robert Pazell writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Residents of Hashinger Hall still have safety concerns, despite Friday's arrest of a male student suspected of sexually battering a female student in late August in the sixth floor lobby.
Kevin James Hoskinson, a 22-year-old Garden City senior and Hashinger resident, was apprehended by the KU Public Safety Office on Friday afternoon, shortly after a warrant was issued for his suspected involvement in the battery. Sgt. Troy Mailen said that tips from people who recognized the composite drawing of the suspect led to the arrest.
Meredith Lemon, Greensboro, N.C., freshman and sixth floor Hashinger resident, said that she and her hallmates were used to sleeping in the lobby and trusting each other, but since the assault they had been more skeptical.
"It definitely makes you more aware that you really can't trust everyone," Lemon said.
Police said that on Saturday, Aug. 26, Hoskinson laid down next to the sleeping female student in the sixth floor lobby of Hashinger. He then kissed her and touched her breasts. The woman awoke and confronted him, and he left the area.
"It makes me feel better, but there's still a lot of weirdos out there," said Sadeghi, who also lives in Hashinger. "I don't sleep anywhere but inside my room."
Lemon says students consistently hang out in the lobby, which has a big-screen television, couches, chairs and study tables. She said many students felt comfortable sleeping in the lobby before the battery occurred.
"We'd start movies at 11 or 12 at night, and by the time the movie was over, everyone would be asleep," Lemon said. "There's always people out there."
But the public safety office urges people not to sleep in public areas and to go to their rooms and lock the doors when they go to sleep at night.
Michael Lopez, Topeka freshman, said he didn't consider the sixth floor lobby a public place.
"It's almost like your living room at home." Lonez said.
Bo Roche, St. Charles, Mo., freshman, said he didn't understand why the University didn't have a security system — such as cameras — that could be a good way to monitor the lobby.
"They'd rather spend their money on athletic programs than keeping the dorms safe," Roche said.

Anonymous survey points to 11 instances of sexual assault
By Darek Prater
writer@kansan.com
Kansas senior staff writer
Eleven of almost 300 student-athletes polled last spring reported that they had been sexually assaulted while attending the University of Kansas.
Of the 288 student-athletes who responded, three said they had been sexually assaulted by a student who was not an athlete, six said they had been assaulted by a student-athlete, and two said they had been assaulted by University faculty or staff. Sexual assault is defined in the survey as forced intercourse, acquaintance rape or other forms of nonconsensual sexual activity.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said that he was concerned by the number of assaults reported and that the department was taking proactive steps to address the issue.
"If there's one, I'm concerned," he said. "I was concerned about the fact that it was a problem."
The Athletics Department conducts a survey each spring of returning student-athletes to determine how the department can better serve them. Last year was the first time questions about sexual assault and harassment were included in the survey.
More information
To see the full results from the KUAC Sexual Victimization Experienced by KU Student Athletes' survey.
Go to www.kunan.com
Frederick said he had planned to announce the results at the next Athletic Board meeting, which is scheduled for Friday.
The results of the survey come as Lawrence police continue to investigate two football players for allegedly sexually assaulting a soccer player last spring and as the department finalizes a policy for dealing with sexual assault and harassment.
Frederick said no other sexual assaults had been reported to the department and that he did not know if the soccer player was one of the student-athletes who reported being sexually assaulted in the survey.
About 550 student-athletes attend the University, and 152 males and 146 females participated in the anonymous survey. Of the 288 who responded, 288 answered questions about sexual assault and harassment. The gender of those who reported being assaulted was not specified.
Eighteen respondents said they had been sexually harassed by students who were not athletes, 21 said they had been harassed by student-athletes and four said they had been harassed by University faculty or staff. Sexual harassment was defined in the survey as making unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or sexually suggestive comments.
Frederick said that although he was concerned by the numbers, he did not think that sexual assault and

The Douglas County Health Department said Jonathan Isiah Haggans became ill on Wednesday. He was taken by helicopter to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., where he died Thursday evening.
Islaah, whom family members called by his middle name, attended the University's child-care program at the Dole Human Development Center as well as the Community Children's Center at 925 Vermont.

CONTACT WATKINS
Watkins Memorial Health Center can answer questions about bacterial meningitis. Call 864-9500.
"The other 25,000 of us on the Hill are at no greater risk than we were before this event occurred," Rock said.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said people who had been in close contact with the boy since Aug. 29 should seek medical attention if they started to feel sick.
He said that preventive antibiotics were available at Watkins.
While not all people who are exposed to the disease become seriously ill, they may develop flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headache, vomiting, stiff neck or rash. The symptoms usually occur within five days of contact.

senior, and University Daily Kansan photographer, lived next door to the boy. Daugherty, who became sick on Thursday with a high fever, went to the health center on Friday.
"The doctor said I didn't have any symptoms of bacterial meningitis, but the doctor placed me on a special antibiotic because I was in close contact with the boy," he said.
The Douglas County Health department has notified all parents of children who were in contact with the child, as well as teachers and physicians.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a written statement that KU was working with county health officials and advised that people educate themselves about bacterial meningitis.

Bar modifies controversial dress code
Thompson also stated in the letter that the
"I, Dannie Thompson, an African American, owner of Jack Flanigans Bar and Grill, would like to apologize to my fellow African Americans and other concerned citizens who may have felt that the dress code policy at Jack Flanigans was offensive or discriminatory," he stated in a letter Friday.
Damnie Thompson, owner and manager of Jack Flanigans, is an African American who said he was trying to run a safe bar. But last week's accusations of racial discrimination caused him to change the bar's dress code.
Thompson also state new policy fulfilled his commitment to the city to provide an environment conducive to public safety. Aside from this letter, Thompson refused to comment.
More information
Read Thompson's entire letter about the dress code.
See page 5A
"There was a point in time when we didn't allow cornrows in here," said Trent Glass, general manager of Tremors Night Club, 729 New Hampshire. "A lot of people come in, and they have their hair in corn rows. They want to look thugged out. They want to look hard."
The new policy avoids mention of FUBU brand clothing and braided corn hair styles, which were formerly prohibited at the bar, located at 804 W. 24th St. Many students felt such rules targeted and excluded African Americans.
Leigh Ann Lawrie, Kansas City, Kan. senior, said in most clubs the rules applied to everyone.
"You don't see white people wearing braids," she said.
Owner local bar owners said they could understand Thompson's rationale.
Glass said Tremors' cornrow rule proved ineffective, but sleeveless shirts were still prohibited — at least for men. He said the rule was in place because those who tried to show off their muscles might be challenged or confronted by others. Good security was the best way to prevent problems, although dress codes were effective, he said.
"But it depends on what your motives are behind the dress code," he said. "When people are dressed to have a good time, they don't cause trouble."
Tremors designate one night a week for hip-hop music, he said, and for that reason it is labeled by some as a "black" or even a "dangerous" club.
"In order for Jack Flanigans to not get labeled like that, he's trying to do everything he can." Glass said.
Kelifel Aqui, owner and manager of Coco Loco Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts, was not ready to advocate power of dress codes.
"We encourage our customers to dress to impress," he said, "I totally oppose creating a policy of dress code on the basis of a brand."
Aquil said that there was no sure way to keep bars safe.

British Seminar to begin with talk on nationalism
The KU British Seminar will begin its series today with a presentation by Joel Reed, professor of English at Syracuse University.
The presentation, "The Imaginary Institution of Nationalism," will cover nationalism in 18th-century Britain as it applies to the British identity.
Victor Bailey, director for the Hall Center for Humanities, said that with current European influence in Britain, historians have been inclined to look back into earlier history to explain the effects that influence will have on British identity.
The seminar will be at 3:30 p.m. at the Hall Center Conference Room and is open to graduate students, faculty and staff. To receive materials for the session, or for more information, contact the center at 864-4798.

Students win scholarships to study U.S. security
Three University of Kansas students have won scholarships to study language and U.S. security issues in different countries.
The National Defense University's National Security Education Program awarded a $16,650 scholarship to Matthew Schmidt, Topeka graduate student, to study in Russia. Michael Stefany, Lawrence graduate student, received a $18,200 scholarship to study in Kazakhstan. Chester Klotz, Manhattan senior, was awarded $17,000 to study in Argentina.
To participate in the program, the students study both at KU and abroad to learn the languages and important U.S. security issues in the respective countries. After completing the program, participants are required to work in an agency of the federal government that has national security responsibilities.
Chuck Schmidt, Matthew Schmidt's father, said Matthew left in late August for St. Petersburg, Russia.
"We're very excited," he said. "It's a very important, prestigious scholarship."

Museum representatives to visit Holocaust exhibit
A Holocaust exhibit will be in the Kansas Union Gallery until Sept. 29, but for those who plan to visit it, today might be the day to go.
Two representatives from Washington D.C.'s Holocaust museum — Severin Hochberg and Jerry Fowler — will be at the exhibit at 10:30 a.m. for discussion. At 12:30 p.m., the University of Kansas School of Law and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will sponsor "Rescuing Refugees: 1941 and Today." The program will be at Room 104 in Green Hall.
Hochberg and Fowler will be special guests for the program, as will U.S.
Senator Sam Brownback, R-Kan.
The actual exhibit is from the museum and is called "Assignment: Rescue — The Story of Varian Fry and the Emergency Rescue Committee." The Max Kade Center for Germanic-American Studies is host for the exhibit.
Rick Levy, professor of law, said Varian Fry was an American journalist who helped more than 2,000 people escape from France and the Nazis between 1940 and 1941.
Levy said the law school was sponsoring the program because treatment of refugees is a topic in international law.

Leawood man pleads no contest to sexual battery
A Leawood man waived his right to a preliminary hearing Friday and pleaded no contest to a felony count of aggravated sexual battery against a KU student.
The state dropped its rape charge in exchange for the plea.
Andrew R. Lowe, 21, was accused of taking advantage of two female KU students in the early morning hours of Oct. 31 at a Halloween party. He was charged in one of the cases.
The state's case reported that the KU student, a junior at the time, lay down in an upstairs room after drinking and was awakened by a man who was lying down next to her and touching her.
Lowe's sentencing is scheduled for 11, a.m. Friday; Oct. 13. He will be required to register as a sexual offender. The state said it would not oppose probation if he was in a treatment program.

"I don't think this reflects on him as a predator," said Charles Brason, Lopez's attorney. "I hate to even use that term "predator."
Branson said the offense occurred because Lopez was using a computer and could not see that he was chatting with a 12-year-old girl.
Douglas County District Court Judge Paula Martin warned Lopez to stick to relationships with women his own age and to stay out of chat rooms.
Lopez is now enrolled at a school in Missouri, where he said he was trying to put this behind him.
Masseuse sentenced in sexual battery case
James C. Christensen, former owner of a massage parlor, was sentenced Friday to 12 months probation on a misdemeanor charge of sexual battery.
Christensen, a Lawrence resident for 27 years, was accused of taking advantage of a female KU student in 1999 while giving her a massage.
Douglas County District Court Judge Paula Martin ruled that Christensen, who closed his massage business immediately after the incident, cannot be paid for giving massages for one year and is not to reopen his business. She also ordered him to attend counseling and to register as a sex offender.
Halley E. Kampshroeder, Christensen's attorney, said he saw nothing that would support a chronic pattern of his client's behavior.
"In short, I believe he's learned a long, extensive, embarrassing lesson," Kampshoere said.

Doctor may resume Valium use on patients
Kristin Neuhaus, Lawrence's only abortion provider, might be able to resume using Valium on her patients soon.
Donald Strole, Neuhaus's attorney, said yesterday that he anticipated that the ban, which was put in place by the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts last month, would be lifted and Neuhaus would be baked in business by next week.
Abortion procedures at her clinic, at 205 W. Eighth St., were put on hold while the board evaluated her use of sedation on patients.
The hold was issued because the board thought that Neuhaus's records were not extensive enough to show that she was paying adequate attention to patients' reactions to sedation.
Strove said a hearing officer for the board said Neuhaus would be able to use Valium after extensive training, such as CPR. Her records would be monitored to ensure that she was abiding by national guidelines for sedation.
Strole said he thought Neuhaus would use sedation on her patients soon.
"It isn't a written order yet, but I anticipate the ban will be lifted." Stroele said.

Judge orders bank to show residents money
Watkins women to get statements mailed to hall
By Jason Krail
wriher @kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
A national bank will have to answer questions from the women of Watkins Scholarship Hall about the handling of a trust fund designated for hall improvements, a judge ruled Friday.
Residents of the hall say Watkins and Miller scholarship halls, which both benefit from the trust, need upgrades and repairs. But the trust has returned less interest each year for the last 15 years. The Watkins women filed suit against Bank of America, which manages the trust, demanding access to detailed accounting of the fund's
investments and expenses.
"We're glad that a decision has been made after waiting these many months," said Jennifer Scott, proctor of Watkins and one of the 13 women who filed the suit in February.
Douglas County District Court Judge Jack Murphy ordered Bank of America to detail expenditures from the fund and show why its annual return has decreased while its principal continues to climb. The University transfers the quarterly payments from the trust fund to the KU Endowment Association.
In 1984, the fund earned about $200,000, but its yield has decreased every year since and was down to $84,000 in 1999. Meanwhile, the principal has climbed from $1.8 million in 1984 to $3.5 million in 1999, according to the ruling.
"The accountings do not provide sufficient information to enable
the court to determine whether the trustee is fulfilling its obligations under the terms of the trust," Murphy wrote.
The bank filed an objection to the suit, claiming the residents are not beneficiaries of the trust and have no legal grounds to challenge the accounting of the fund. The University also filed a motion in the case asking the judge to declare the University the trust's sole beneficiary.
But Murphy ruled that the residents benefit directly from any hall improvements made with the fund and have a legal right to know how the money is being used.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said that the University was glad the case was moving forward, and that claims that the halls have not been kept up were unfounded.
"The University is confident that the trust has been handled respon

District Court ruled that Bank of America has to allow the women of Watkins Scholarship Hall access to a detailed account of the trust fund that was designed to fund improvements and repairs on Miller and Watkins scholarship halls.
What this means: The 13 women who filed the suit against Bank of America will see exactly where the
money, namely the interest on their account, has been spent.
account, has been spent. What's next? The bank filed an objection to the suit, and the University also filed a motion asking the judge to declare the University the trust's sole beneficiary. A scheduling conference will be Friday, Sept. 29 to set dates for the hearings at which the bank will respond to the suit.
sibly," she said. "Those residents claim that the halls are not well-maintained, and we strongly disagree with that."
David Brown, attorney for the Watkins residents, said the halls needed a number of upgrades, including air conditioning. He also said the University had tried to conceal the report by declaring itself sole beneficiary of the trust.
"The University has done everything it can to prevent a hearing
on the issues raised. It has argued that the students are not beneficiaries," Brown said. "To say it's wanted this hearing all along is insincere, to be generous."
The suit also notes that the Endowment Association has withheld the leftover interest not used each year in a fund that has accumulated more than $1 million. That money should have been used for improvements as the trust directs, the suit said.
However, the suit only requests access to how the trust fund has been allocated.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the amount of left-over interest had shrunk after part of the money was used for roofing and window work at Miller this summer. The University is planning upgrades to the electrical line that runs to Watkins, Miller and the surrounding scholarship halls because the halls' current electrical systems cannot support central air conditioning, he said.
"Money accrues in that fund until it can be used for a major improvement." Stoner said of the leftover fund at the Endowment Association. "That money is used for improvement of those hills. It's the only thing it can be used for."
A scheduling conference will be Friday, Sept. 29 to set dates for the hearings at which the bank will respond to the suit.

Green Party gains diverse following at the University
By Kursten Phelps
wrier@kanson.com
Kansas staff write
It's not just elephants and donkeys anymore.
It's not just elephants and donkeys anymore. The Green Party has made its way to the University of Kansas to battle political apathy and make the government work for the people.
The KU Green Party developed out of the organizers' experiences working on a petition drive this summer to get Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader on the presidential ballot in Kansas, said Sarah Hoskinson. KU Green Party president.
"There is a great deal of interest and support out there for Green Party values," said Haskinson, Burrton junior. "The Green Party is growing everywhere. Interest is growing because people are waking up. People are tired of having their health, their jobs, their education, and their children's future jeopardized so that the rich can get richer."
Galen Turner, KU Green Party vice president, said equality issues were a major theme in the party's ideals.
"The Green Party is strongly into egalitarian causes," said Turner, Lawrence junior. "It's for the representation of the people in government, not the representation of big money and special interests in government."
Turner said the variety of issues addressed by the party attracted a diverse group of supporters.
Despite the diversity of members of KU Green Party, Turner said political inactivity was a major concern for most.
At the first meeting, you looked around, and you've got some hippies, some so-called preppies, and some people like me in jeans and T-shirts because that's all we have," he said.
"We want to get people interested and hyped up to want to make a difference." Turner said. "There's not a national party, only state parties, so the full character of the party is yet to be completely formed. There's a place to make some sort of a difference, and the instant you make some sort of a difference, you realize that you can make much more of a difference, and that's how things change."
or other meetings. Hoskinson said about 18 people attended the first meeting. Activities planned for the rest of the year include showing films, having information tables, speaking to classes and sponsoring discussions to raise awareness about the Green Party.
"Many students are apathetic about the political process and choose not to vote because they are disillusioned by what they see going on in the world and/or don't believe they have any power." Hoskinson said. "When you multiply that mindset by millions of people who feel the same, you come up with a populace that renders themselves powerless.
"If we truly want to live in a free democracy, we all must participate in it on a daily basis. We must become active and informed and we must vote."

Eight open mouths were the center of attention at a Saturday evening feeding frenzy.
Sixteen forcefeedings and 50 pounds of food later, the audience left, amazed at what they had witnessed during "An Evening of Forcefeeding" at Murphy Hall.
"Actually seeing someone eat a dozen hard-boiled eggs was bizarre," said David Borys. Overland Park sophomore.
Some members of the audience couldn't believe what they were seeing.
But hard-boiled eggs were only the beginning. Performers endured two two-minute forcefeedings of such delicacies as hot dogs, uncooked matzo balls and pistachio pudding.
The audience watched, egging the performers on with cheers, clapping, foot stomping and chants of "Puke! Puke!"
Though none of the performers lost their lunch, so to speak, there were some tense moments for the participants.
Gavier Rice, Roeland Park senior, was forcefed hot dogs and mini-marshmallows.
"The entirety of a hot dog was lodged down my throat," he said. "That's a lot scarier than you would imagine."
Emergency medical technicians were on hand to make sure the participants didn't bite off more than they could chew — and swallow — successfully.
For more photos from the force-feeding frenzy, see www.kansan.com.
Hislope said that he and Meyer were happy with the show.
"It went very well, pretty much as expected," Hislope said. "We're really glad the paramedics didn't have to do their jobs."
Rice said he agreed to do the show because he thought it was a joke.
"When someone says they're going to forcefeed you for their show, you think they are joking," Rice said. "But then I went to school and saw the posters."
"It's really just a matter of chewing." Schemmel said. "I ate as much as I could, but your mouth gets dry, and you start to gag."
After the eight performers were forcedef their fill of food, they turned on the directors and forcefeeders. Hislope and Meyer were stripped down to their underwear and forcedef the remaining food.
At the end of the night, food was everywhere.
"It was messier than we could have ever expected," Meyer said. "There was food everywhere, in our ears ... in our underwear."
As for the meaning of the performance, Meyer said it could mean different things for different people.
After giving the performers a standing ovation, many in the audience left the performance hungry. "I'm going to Taco Bell," Borys said.

Students help pay some study abroad professors' expenses
By Jennifer Valadez
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Professors at the University of Kansas who take students abroad may be getting an all-expenses-paid trip, but they're not just doing it because it's free.
Beau Pritchett, study abroad coordinator, said although professor expenses were typically figured into student costs in faculty-led programs, that was not always the case.
He said that in cases where students were not contributing to the instructor's expenses, the funding may come from that instructor's academic department or through grant money from another source.
Anna Drewry, Lawrence senior, said
"Either way, we still need to account for all expenses," he said. "Everything cannot be for free."
"Either way, we still need to
account for all expenses.
Everything cannot be for free."

she had no objections to having an accompanying professor's costs figured into her expenses. Drewry participated in the British Summer Institute in 1999.
"It's a worthwhile experience if you go with the intent of studying; we need those professors," Drewry said. "My reason for going wasn't just to have a cheap view of a country. I need to be able to have a professor teach me about the country I'm in."
Pritchett said that these professors' time spent abroad was not a vacation.
"The professor accompanying does have responsibilities," he said. "Depending on the program, the budget will include all of their expenses."
Adrienne Rivers, professor of journalism, led a group of students in journalism studies to Ghana, Africa during the summer, but her costs were not paid for by the students. Rivers said her duties went further than coordinating the trip for the students, that she was there to be a friend and help the students.
Susan MacNally, assistant director of study abroad, said that before the trip instructors were responsible for marketing their program and speaking to interested students. During the program the instructor assumes full responsibility for the group, acts as the primary contact in case any emergencies occur and is in charge of program expenditures. After returning, the instructor accounts for and subscribes a
full report on all funds.
Essentially, MacNally said, the cycle repeated itself if the instructor continued to spearhead the program.
David Wiley, outreach coordinator for study abroad, said the direct exchange program was the more cost-efficient route for those looking to study abroad. The cost for the program is in-state tuition and fees.
Wiley said the professor-accompanied programs tended to be more focused because they emphasized courses specific to the University.
For students, the cost of the professor-accompanied program is approximately $7,500, while a direct exchange averages just less than $5,000.
"It's more specific to what a KU student is wanting." Wiley said. "They introduce the student to topics important on our campus."

Perspective Raise hell: vote for Ralph Nader
I am voting for Ralph Nader. How did I decide this? Did I draw a straw out of a hat? Did I slaughter my cat and read her entailrs to prophey? Did I do a poll? Did I ask General Electric "who you sugest"? No. I did research. I purposely ignored the media's monetary blases, even National Public Radio's. Allow me to explain my reasoning.
First, in Kansas and some other states, all of our electoral votes go to one person. In fourteen of the past fifteen elections these votes have gone Republican. A vote for Gore is still a vote for Bush.
Second, if you look at the candidates for the "two" major parties, you will see that they disagree, to any measurable degree, on
1
only a few issues. The difference in tax plans is negligible. (One-fifth of the population doesn't make enough to pay taxes.) They both like the military. Clinton-Gore spent more money on the military than Reagan did. They both approve of the death penalty. They both support unemployment and sweatshop-creating "free trade." They are both bought and sold by corporations. This is contrary to the rhetoric, but look at their funding.

They disagree on issues they can nay-say each other on: school vouchers, gun control and party affiliation.
To be fair, I must admit that Gore has been attempting to sound more Nader-like. Unfortunately, his past is full of ignored promises. Though the Sierra Club supports him, they also made a list of all the environmental issues he let drop. Go read it.
The Republicrats' rumor mills have been at full steam to discredit Nader. Many of their products recently arrived in the "Perspective" column in this paper.
Nader is not for "the exclusion of the rest of the world." That is ridiculous and ill informed. Nader has a long history of dealing with other countries. He believes we should look after ourselves, then use our international relations to raise the standard of living in other countries. This is opposed to the World Trade Organization, who will sell everyone out for a cheap buck.
A president is his cabinet. Nader knows this. He has been delegating tasks for 40 years. His cabinet would be well chosen. All this talk of "lack of experience" is empty rhetoric. Nader was gaining experience when Bush and Gore were 15 years old. Nader has been dealing with the facets of the government for his entire career. He helped create The Freedom of Information Act, one of the most powerful weapons for democracy, and the Clean Air Act, not to mention auto and air safety regulations.
The biggest reason for voting for a third party, especially Nader, is this: It raises hell. It lets politicians know we are not happy. Less than 40 percent of the eligible voters will vote, the lowest turnout in American history. The media calls it a "satisfied" public. Bull! Try talking to people. They are unhappy. Looking at the issues shows that "liberals" and "conservatives" often agree with each other but not Washington
Does anyone want corporations to be able to buy our rights? Having Nader, or even Pat Buchanan, in the debates will raise issues. Debating and arguing are the only ways to allow the people to see what the candidates believe. Bush does not want to debate. He has no real platform. Gore needs his answers written out. They soon revert to their contradicting.
My point is this: Voting for a third party has many benefits. It shakes the political status quo. If Nader gets 5 percent nationwide, the Green party gets $15 million in federal funding for the next election.
Bush is a puppet of big business. Gore is a man attempting to be a puppet. I'm voting for a candidate whom I believe in. Telling people they can't make a difference unless they vote for the same group of people who has betrayed them many times before is not only a twist in logic that will break your neck, but simply incorrect. We are the people. We have the power.

Power suits alienate politicians from voters
Equal representation — a notion that the framers of the Constitution envisioned for the nation that at the time was composed of only 13 states. More than 200 years ago it was decided that Europe was too aristocratic, pandering excessively to the upper class, to the nobles. So the vision was that the United States was to be different. It was to set a precedent. Yet the first thing that one notices about the members of Congress or other Capitol Hill staffers is their appearance, their way of dress. This
appearance is not one that emanates representation. In fact, it gives a somewhat condescending impression.
I was an intern for the U.S. Senate this summer, so I had the opportunity to observe our country's leaders from the front seat. I knew that members of Congress always dressed in power suits, that they had to give off the notion that they were people that possessed power as well, and therefore had the ability to wield it into whatever they
T. S.
I was reading Time the other day, and a short article caught my attention. It explained how members of the government in other countries have changed dress code in recent years, allowing for more variety of dress. For instance, last week in Bermuda it was made acceptable for members of Parliament to wear Bermuda shorts when they are in session. Safari suits and Nehru jackets were also deemed acceptable for men, as were pantsuits for women. In 1994, Nelson Mandela passed reforms that introduced traditionally African items to parliament in
wanted. But I did not realize that it was an actual principle that members of the U.S. House have to adhere to, by law.
Rupali Limaye columnist opinion@pkansan.com
South Africa. And in Great Britain, the speaker of the House of Commons, Betty Boothroyd, has decided not to wear the traditional powdered wig. But the point that most surprised me was the fact that members of the U.S. House who are male must wear coats and ties; it is mandatory.
I assumed when I was in the House this summer that members dressed up in coats and ties because they wanted to, not because they had to. The fact that there is a law that members must wear coats and ties undermines the whole idea of equal representation.
Members of Congress are complaining that the majority of the citizens are apathetic. The U.S. had the lowest voter turnout in a presidential election in 1966 since the 1920s. The fact is, people feel as though they can't relate to members in Congress, so what is the point of getting out and voting in the election?
Dress code is an important reason as to why the mass public felt as though it can't relate to members of Congress. Members walk in and pose for the press in expensive suits, expensive jewelry and other accessories that aren't easily attainable for the average citizen.
I believe that the United States should allow members of Congress to wear what they want. Their constituents would then be able to relate better, because their representative would at least look like a common, everyday person. Because these members wear "expensive" suits, they give off an impression of an exclusive environment. The bottom line is that the government need not seem so exclusive. Maybe then citizens wouldn't seem so apathetic.
Congress members are supposed to represent the people of the United States, yet the majority of those who live here can't look like members of Congress. It seems to be an obvious instance in which the politicians have only themselves to blame.

Editorial
Prevention key to hall fire safety
Many KU residence halls are not equipped with sprinkler systems.
After all, three students died and 62 others were injured last year in the aftermath of a residence hall fire at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. Lawmakers bounced back with a new law requiring sprinkler systems in every university and college in New Jersey. In another incident, one student died in a fraternity-house fire at Millinik University in Illinois. The death compelled the state to adopt similar legislation.
For the 2,150 students housed in the University of Kansas residence halls not equipped with sprinkler systems, life is unfair and unsafe.
There is a disturbing trend here. A fire at a campus residence causes student fatalities, and a new law is presented to make things better. Unfortunately, laws are enacted only after an unnecessary and preventable tragedy.
Beginning this semester, every open greek house on campus has a newly-installed sprinkler system — a requirement resulting from legislation passed by the city in 1993. Houses that could not comply with this regulation were not allowed to open for residence.
It's a good start, but there are still students crammed into residence halls — many with mediocre fire-safety measures. Only the newly renovated residence halls, Templel and Lewis, have sprinkler systems installed; however, these residence halls house only 560 students, which is approximately 21 percent of residence hall residents. Of the remaining six residence halls without sprinklers, five permit smoking in the rooms.
Sprinkler systems won't be added to the old residence halls until each undergoes a massive renovation. This will take years to complete, but it will save precious dollars. In the meantime, the 2,160 students who live in residence halls without sprinkler systems live in a potential fire trap. The Greek system has set an example for the University to follow. If the University won't take timely action, the state needs to flex some legislative muscle and make the residence halls safe for their residents.

I am sick and tired of there being an article everyday about how the football team needs our support, when they start winning we'll start supporting.
I wish that female soccer player would have gone straight to the police, so we wouldn't have to hear other females comments on how the athletic department handled the situation.
Don't think we don't know what's going on. Student Senate involvement is mentioned virtually in every article this week in the Kansan. Not a coincidence.
As a nontraditional student, I'd like to thank all the staff at KU for supporting nontraditional students.

Bar owner apologizes, sets new dress code
I, Dannie Thompson, an African American, owner of Jack Flanigans Bar and Grill, would like to apologize to my fellow African Americans and other concerned citizens who may have felt that the dress code policy at Jack Flanigans was offensive or discriminatory. I have changed the dress policy to a code of conduct, dress and entrance policy. I felt that these changes along with the continued musical restrictions will support my commitment to the City of Lawrence to provide an environment conducive to public safety. The new policy is as follows:
- No undershirt-style tank tops
- No correct sleeves, lingerie
Proper attitude with staff and patrons
No undershirt-style tank tops
No sweat suits, jerseys,
warm-ups, or canvas clothing
Pants must be worn on waistline at all times
No stocking caps, headbands,
do-rags, bandannas or hair nets
Hats must be worn either
directly forward or directly
backwards at all times
No oversized brand named
logos on clothing
Shirts and shoes must be
No gang-affiliated signs or verbiage
Shirts and shoes must be worn at all times
No fighting or loud arguments with staff or other patrons
- Anyone in violation of the above rules will be asked to leave the property and never allowed to return. If you do not leave or you return to the property, it will be considered criminal trespassing, and you will be prosecuted.
- We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

Decline in rankings shows policy failure
The declining standing of the University of Kansas, as reported in the Sept. 5 article "University falls in rankings," is a reflection of the growing problems facing KU under the administration of Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger.
Falling from 30th to 42nd in just three years should be a warning that their current policies and practices are not doing the job and that the administration needs to reflect on what it has done to lead KU into such a serious decline. KU's declining
status is not simply due to changes in financial support, as claimed by the chancellor.
Letters to the editor
The US News and World Report online guide to colleges provides data that are illustrative of KU's problems. Of the Big 12 institutions, KU has the lowest proportion of full-time faculty. Full-time, permanent faculty are the backbone of a university. Faculty who are engaged in teaching, research and service cannot be replaced by temporary, part-time faculty without doing great harm to a university's reputation and national standing.
As reported by US News, the University has only 91 percent fulltime faculty while the other schools in the Big 12 range from 93 percent at the University of Oklahoma to 99 percent at the University of Missouri.
Exactly mirroring the low proportion of full-time faculty on the KU campus Is the high proportion of courses taught by teaching assistants.
KU ranks first among the Big 12 with 23 percent of its courses taught by TAs. The other schools range from 0 percent to 20 percent.
Although graduate students can certainly be competent and exciting teachers, they cannot fill all of the roles of a full-time tenured faculty member. For example, TAs cannot write recommendations for a student applying for professional or graduate school, they do not have access to research facilities and funds that can be used to train undergraduates in research outside of the classroom, and so forth. Tenured faculty provide services to the institution that cannot be provided by graduate student teaching assistants.
This is not the end of it, either. The Division of Biological Sciences hires undergraduate to teach in its undergraduate laboratories,a practice unheard of at other universities. These underpaid and untrained students are put in a difficult position because they lack the experience and authority to supervise other students their own age. This is not a policy that will enhance the academic excellence of the sciences at this institution.
During the past two years, KU has faced a series of legal actions brought by faculty and students concerned about the administration's policies and procedures. If these have not convinced our
chancellor and provost that they need to reconsider their vision for the University of Kansas, perhaps the US News report will serve as a wake-up call.
They must institute policies that demonstrate their concern for the students of KU, and they must begin to adhere to accepted procedures for hiring and evaluating their faculty. If they persist in their program of replacing competent full-time faculty with non-tenured temporary, and using graduate teaching assistants to carry the added burden, KU will continue to plummet in its national rankings.

Students should drop unwanted classes
One of the classes I'm teaching has about 10 students who never showed up. Those students put us in violation of the fire code if we add more students, so the eight or nine students who've been to every class, who've handed in every homework, are about to hand in their first quiz, and who want to add can't.
We're not the only class, and these aren't the only students, with this problem.
Be fair to other students. If you're enrolled in a class you're planning to drop, please drop it now.

Housing restrictions would discriminate
I am a University of Kansas graduate and own several rental properties in Lawrence, many o which are by the KU campus area. My concern is the city's enforcement of the "no more than four unrelated people living together" clause. Steps are now being taken to reduce this number to two people per dwelling. Because "family status" is a protected class and cannot be discriminated against, why does the city or any governing body suddenly believe it has the authority to violate people's rights and flagrantly discriminate?
It is obvious that students, who tend to be single and younger, no longer can share a house that was built with five bedrooms "five ways."
However, the same property can be buildodized and replaced with a multi-unit complex with many more residents living in the same location. The same property can also be rented to a "family" that may have a mother, father and three or more children.
I cannot legally ask potential residents what their relation is, as I could be violating their rights. So now it seems the city expects the owners and managers of rental housing to violate the residents' rights in order to comply with the city's discrimination requirements. Although I refuse to discriminate, I wonder where it will end, or what "class" will next be refused housing? I hate to see discrimination not only being allowed, but required, by the city.
Also, if other homeowners or residents who live near campus cannot handle the fact that Lawrence is a university town, they should move. The last time I checked, I was still living in America and, as a property owner, I intend to continue renting my properties and refusing to discriminate.

Effects of masculinity should not be denied
Thanks for the wonderful oped piece on masculinity ("Masculinity not a disease to be cured." 9/1). Right on! Nothing good can come of denying the truth about who we are or that men and women are naturally different and always will be. Efforts to feminize men and render them powerless in the face of a radical feminist movement are doomed to a deserved failure.

Faking orgasms sign of dishonest relationship
I was incredibly appalled to find the back page of last Friday's Kansan covered with an article about faking orgasms "Fakin' it," 9/1). I had many problems with this article.
My first problem is with the statement, "More than two-thirds of KU women have faked an orgasm." Are we just assuming that all KU women are sexually active, or was it even taken into account? The article did not make it clear as to whether Tamara Bryan's survey was an accurate study of the sexual activity of the students at the university. I am sure that many people would be surprised at the number of people choosing to remain sexually abstinent until marriage. I'm also sure that those 366 people don't represent me, the majority of my friends here at the university and by no means can accurately speak for a group of students nearly 100 times that number at a school known for its diversity.
The other aspect of this survey that astounds me is that it neglected to mention the relationship status of the people participating. Take 366 people who have publicly and religiously vowed to spend the rest of their lives together in marriage with their spouse, 366 people who are in committed and healthy marriages, and ask those women if they have to fake orgasms. The numbers would be drastically reduced, for a number of reasons. For people who truly understand marriage, sex takes on a grander purpose. It becomes an act of union, one that brings the married couple closer than any other two human beings. It is a pure act of love, one that was meant to stay within marriage. Within the life-long commitment of marriage, sex becomes more than just selfish pleasure, it becomes whole, pure love.
Why are people surprised to see that there is an intense act of dishonesty at what should be the strongest point of giving between any two people? Trust is broken between the two when an orgasm is faked. Sex outside of marriage is like a fire that is out of place, and because of that, emotions are uncontrollable. Dishonesty, selfishness, and pain are just a few of the side effects.
Instead, by encouraging a proper understanding of sex and its proper place in marriage, an attitude of respect and self-control will develop, defining sex by more than just pleasure. It will allow our sense of reason as human beings to prevent such dishonesty from occurring in such an intimate moment.

Athletic Department to create code of conduct
Continued from page 1A
harassment were more prevalent among student-athletes than the rest of society.
"I don't think those 500 student-athletes and their behavior varies greatly from any 500 students you could nick at the University," he said.
denies you could pick at the University. He said Laura Montgomery, coordinator of the sexual assault prevention and education program at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said the percentage of reported assaults in the department was lower than the general population.
Montgomery said a 1992 report from the National Victim Center said 38 percent of all college women reported instances the legal definition of a rape or attempted rape.
She said that it was difficult for surveys to get accurate numbers.
"There's so much denial, so much guilt and so much shame involved," she said. "Many people don't even acknowledge it."
Excessive media attention on athletes creates a perception that these crimes are more prevalent among them. Montgomery said.
"We don't have any well-established studies, either on our campus or anywhere that I know of," she said, "that concretely establishes that there is more of a problem with athletics."
Sarah Clopton, last year's president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and former KU softball player, recommended the questions be added last fall after working at the Emily
Tavlor Women's Resource Center.
She said she did not think there was a problem with sexual assault among student-athletes.
Frederick said last year's survey included questions about alcohol, drugs and gambling.
the department attempted to educate athletes about sexual assault and harassment and to create a policy that would establish procedures if students reported sexual assault or harassment.
This summer, 105 student-athletes and 40 department staff participated in workshops run by the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program, which is based at Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society. All student-athletes were required to attend a lecture Aug. 28 by Jonathan Katz, founder of the MVP program.
"We have troubles," said Gary Kempf, director of student athlete life and coaching development. "They're prevalent across the country."
He said the department planned to train its staff in the methods of the MVP program.
Frederick said the department was working with the University General Counsel to finalize a department code of conduct, with guidelines for dealing with sexual assault, harassment.
He said he planned to present a code of conduct to the Athletic Board this academic year.
"It was my intent that we could have something that would make it very clear: If you did x, y would happen," Frederick said.

While most students slept in Saturday morning, some members of campus and greek living organizations volunteered for local agencies as part of the Douglas County United Way's annual Day of Caring.
on projects for organizations throughout Lawrence. Projects range from construction and physical labor to visiting children and elderly people throughout the community.
Alana Terry, Alpha Delta Pi sorority chairwoman, said five groups of women from the sorority worked on different projects, including helping at a community living organization and at the Lawrence Public Library.
Day of Caring is organized by the Roger Hill Volunteer Center of United Way. Each September, volunteers work
"We did a lot of painting, trimming and gardening," she said. "At the library, we helped with pricing and sorting books for the book sale."
Terry said about 580 people participated in the event, which kicked off United Way's annual fund drive.
"We got involved because it was a
great opportunity to get the girls out and into the community," Terry said. "I went out to a community living home, and it opens your eyes to see people in that situation."
Battenfeld Scholarship Hall also participated in the event. Jon Power, Battenfeld's community service chairman, said about 13 residents spent two to three hours at Clinton State Park cleaning, repairing and painting benches.
"We're a large group, and so we were looking for projects that needed a large number of people," he said.
He said KU's Center for Community Outreach helped students participate by providing a list of projects from which each group could choose.

The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria — The Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries, facing mounting international pressure to pump more oil to cut surging fuel prices, agreed yesterday to boost the group's official output of crude oil by 800,000 barrels a day.
Analysts cautioned that the increase would not do much to roll back prices because OPEC members are already producing at least 700,000 barrels above their current quotas.
Members of OPEC reached the decision after four hours of informal talks in Vienna.
The new quota will take effect Sunday, Oct.1, and OPEC members agreed to meet again Sunday, Nov.
12 to reassess market conditions and adjust output
Algerian oil minister Chakib Khelil and Qatar oil minister Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah first confirmed the increase, which adds 3 percent to OPEC's current official production of 25.4 million barrels a day.
Ministers began a formal meeting later to ratify the increase but postponed it until today without making a formal announcement of the new quota.
In Washington, the U.S. government gave Saudi Arabia credit for the OPEC production increase but said it was too early to know what effect it would have on the shortage in world oil inventories.
High fuel costs have sparked concern and even outrage in several nations. French truckers and taxi drivers last week blocked roads to protest gasoline prices, while their counterparts in Belgium and Germany and farmers in Britain have mounted similar, if smaller, efforts to disrupt traffic. Americans living in areas where there is heavy snowfall worry that low fuel inventories will lead to soaring prices to heat their homes this winter.
On a diplomatic level, European finance ministers have expressed concern that surging prices could crimp world economic growth, while finance ministers from 21 Pacific Rim countries warned in Brunei that rising oil prices could damage their economies.

NBC dominates Emmy awards
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — In a landslide, NBC's idealistic series about a White House staff in turmoil, "The West Wing," won a record-setting nine Emmy awards last night.
It was a rubout in the political drama's competition with HBO's "The Sopranos." James Gandolfini, the mob boss, avoided a shutout after 18 nominations for his show by winning best actor for "The Sopranos."
The haul for "The West Wing" broke the previous record of eight Emmys for a series in a single season, set by "ER" and "Hill Street Blues."
NBC won bragging rights with 23 Emmys. HBO had 20 awards, ABC had 15. Fox had 11 and CBS had 7.
Michael J. Fox was a sentimental winner of the best actor award for a comedy. He retired from his comedy, "Spin City," after last season because of Parkinson's disease.
"Will & Grace" won best comedy
show, a big boost for NBC's sitcom as it moves to Thursday nights this fall. It also won two awards for its supporting actors, Sean Hayes and Meane Mullally.
Patricia Heaton, who plays the long-suffering wife of comedian Ray Romano on the CBS comedy "Everybody Loves Raymond." won best actress in a comedy.
Veteran actor Jack Lemon drew a standing ovation when he won best actor in a miniseries or movie for "Oprah Winfrey Presents: Tuesdays With Morrie." His co-star, Hank Azaria, also won an Emmy, and the show was honored as best TV movie.
Sela Ward was an upset winner in the best actress category in a drama for ABC's "Once and Again." She beat out two competing actresses from "The Sopranos," Edie Falco and Lorraine Bracco.
Richard Schiff, who plays the grim aide Toby Ziegler on "The West Wing," and Allison Janney, who portrays the tough press secretary, won
ON THE WEB
http://www.abc.com
supporting actor awards. Thomas Schlamme won for directing.
For the third year in a row, David Letterman's "Late Show" won the award for best variety series. It came during a year Letterman had to take a break for an emergency quintuple bvpass operation in January.
HBO's series about a Baltimore inner-city neighborhood, "The Corner," won three Emmys, including outstanding miniseries.
Eddie Izzard won for both his performance and writing in his HBO special. "Eddie Izzard: Dress to Kill."
Many actors, including John Lithgow and David Swchimmer, wore gold ribbons in a show of support for the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, who are involved in a strike against the advertising industry.

After 29 years and dismissal, Knight's fire has run out
If you look closely you might be able to see dwindling smoke hanging over Indiana University.
The fire is out.
For 29 years, the inferno that was Bobby Knight stormed the Indiana basketball sidelines and guided the Hoosiers to three national championships.
Now he's gone.
The temperamental coach was fired yesterday just three days after Indiana freshman Kent Harvey yelled, "Hey, what's up, Knight?" while picking up football tickets. Harvey accused Knight of grabbing him by the arm and cursing at him.
So why is the coach gone?
Don't get me wrong here. I understand completely why Knight was fired. I have no sympathy for abusive people, and his record is marked by numerous offenses.
Just how long is that list? ESPN.com ran a time line of Knight's career, highlighting his bursts and alterations. The list encompassed six-and-a-half pages.
All of the talk has made me wonder: Why does the firing come as a shock now? Knight's turtans have been chroniced on SportsCenter and in newspapers since 1972 — when The General became coach at Indiana.
Why wasn't anything done before? Maybe kids were tougher then. Maybe being physically intimidated by a coach helped motivate players to do things right the first time.
It was a different age. If a coach yelled at you, you just grinned and beared it. Lawsuits weren't filed for things as petty as spilling hot coffee on yourself when the lid warns you that the liquid within is HOT. It was also a time when winning made everything okay.
Indiana hasn't been winning — not titles anyway — since its 1994 Final Four loss to Duke in the national semifinals. And as the wins have dwindled, the fuel for Knight's fire has grown. This year, the blaze finally became too big and Indiana University president Myles Brand was forced to extinguish Knight's career with the Hoosiers.
While I understand and support the decision, I am saddened just the same. Knight was a legend. He is the fifth winningest coach in NCAA Division I history, posting 763 wins. His memorable 1976 squad posted a 32-0 record, making them the last team to go undefeated and win the national championship. His teams were menaces to play, as Knight instilled his coaching fury into his players' hearts. That resiliency showed on the basketball court and captured the hearts of a state as Hoosier basketball became a way of life.
Even more admirable was the graduation rate of his players. Knight recruited good students and good people. Almost every player graduated.
It's disheartening to know that a man who did so much good for the game and shaped bright futures for hundreds of men will, in the end, leave a legacy not of winning and success, but as a former General of the Indiana Hoosier Army who ultimately lost control. Bobby Knight was a man who controlled a basketball world, but he could not control himself.
Writing in a Leawood junior in journalism.
The Hoosiers won't smolder and disappear into basketball mediocrity without Knight. They will move on with a new coach, but Indiana basketball will never be the same.
The fury is gone.

Volleyball team steamrolls through Jayhawk Classic for first time

For coach Ray Bechard, Saturday night was a long time coming — two years, in fact.
It was then, after two intense days, that his Kansas volleyball team defeated Ole Miss and became champions of the Javhawk Classic for the first time.
"I've been here four years, and we had yet to win it," said Nancy Bell, senior outside hitter, of the tournament which began in 1997. "So it's about time."
In fact, all Kansas had to do was win one game in its final match versus Ole Miss to

"Jamie Burns had an awesome game, and I wish could have figured out how to control her earlier in the match," said Bechard, referring to the Rebels' outside hitter who scored a match-high 30 kills. "However, Ole Miss is much improved this year."
Besides Ole Miss, the 'Hawks trampled East Carolina, West Virginia and Furman on their way to tournament glory. East
defeating the Rebels 15-9 in the first game. However, Ole Miss rallied and pulled out a 13-15 win in the second game before Kansas spiked them into submission 15-2 and 15-11.

Carolina finished second, posting a 3-1 record.
Adding those four games to their record improved Kansas to 8-0, which ties the 1990 school record for consecutive wins to start a season.
"As far as the record, that's great," Bechard said. "But let's not stop there, let's break it. That would be more fun."
Besides shining as a team, a few Jayhawks received individual awards as well. Bell was named tournament Most Valuable Player, while senior outside hitter Amy Myatt and senior middle blocker Daniel Geronymo were named to the All-Tournament team. Myatt led the team in kills, with 79 for the weekend — 24 in Kansas’ final match against Mississippi — while Geronymo led the team in digs with 50. Bell, however, was extremely well-balanced in both those departments, recording 53 kills and 46 digs on the weekend.
Indeed, LaMere, junior setter, didn't have too bad a weekend herself, recording 216 set assists. And in addition to LaMere,
"For me to get a kill, I've got to have a good pass," Bell said. "Molly LaMere is my MVP, she's awesome at what she does. I couldn't have gotten any kills or been MVP without her."

"We're learning more about each other each game we play," said LaMere about the team's success. "I think we are ready for conference."

Receiver overcomes challenges
By Jason Franchuk
Kansan sportswriter
sports.kansan.com
As time goes by and challenges mount in front of him, Roger Ross has slowly figured out who is creating his routes as a wide receiver.
When he played at a talent-laden Denver metro team in high school, he had to work harder than everybody else just to get a scout's attention.
When his test scores did not qualify him for college eligibility the first time, Ross knew who to look up to when he was relegated to a Karsa junior college. Ross knew who was calling his plays all alone
"It's all in God's plan," said Ross, a junior wide receiver who transferred from Garden City Community College this season.
As a 5-foot-7, 170 pounds athlete trying to play Division I college football, most people figured Ross didn't have a prayer.
Perhaps opposing teams thought the same, but Ross was been impressive in his one game as a Jayhawk, against Southern
Methodist. Ross had four catches and — combined with his duties as a punt returner — is currently ranked seventh in the Big 12 Conference in all-purpose yards with 121 per game.
"When I got here, I
More information To see results from Big.1.2 Conference teams that played this weekend See page 3B
When I got here, I said all I wanted to do was be able to help out," Ross said. "I wanted to do something that could make an impact."
Kansas might not the best team he ever played on. And that's not a reference to Garden City, even though Ross' team posted a 10-2 record last year and Ross became the school's all-time leading receiver.
In 1997, as a junior at Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver, Ross played on a team made up of several big-name college talents. Marcus Houston, ranked as the top running back prospect as a senior last year, now plays at Colorado. Tony Lindsay, a former Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, is the quarterback at Oklahoma State. Dyshod Carter starts at cornerback for Kansas State.
"Man, we were loaded," Ross said. "I thank God for the time I got to spend with that team. I learned how to win there."
After being Colorado's top receiver in yards, receptions and touchdowns as a senior, Ross scared away schools. His grades were fine, but test scores kept coming back too low for his admission into Division I football.
"I was hurt," Ross said. "I thought my life before college was going to be over."
So he went to Garden City, and eventually found his way back to Lawrence after a stellar two-year junior college career.
Ross's pass may change again Saturday, when Kansas plays Alabama-Birmingham. The return of Carl Nesmith, who was suspended for the season opener, might limit Ross' chances to return punts. Harrison Hill will be back at wide receiver, meaning the passes will be more dispersed.
"Roger will still get a lot of opportunities," said Kansas coach Terry Allen.

Indiana fires Knight after latest conduct violation
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
In the end, the only person who could beat Bobby Knight was himself.
Knight, the Indiana basketball coach for the past 29 seasons, was fired yesterday, ending a run in which Knight was one of college basketball's most talented and tumultuous coaches.
"This is not how anyone wanted Bob Knight's career at Indiana University to end," said Indiana president Myles Brand. "He is a legendary coach who won three national championships. But he has failed to live within the guidelines by which he promised to abide. This required action saddens me greatly."
The firing came after Knight followed a "continued pattern of unacceptable behavior" in violation with the school's zero-tolerance conduct policy.
Knight was on a fishing trip in Canada yesterday and was unavailable for comment. Brand said Knight will learn of his firing today through a certified letter.
The guidelines of the zero-tolerance policy were announced on May 15 in response to Knight's violent behavior during his
tenure at Indiana. At that time, Brand announced that any violation of the policy by Knight would result in an immediate removal of his coaching duties. Since May, Knight violated the policy 17 times, according to Brand.
"His unacceptable behavior not only continued since then, but increased," Brand said.
The most publicized violation of the policy occurred at the start of the semester when he confronted Indiana freshman Kent Harvey at Freedom Hall and allegedly grabbed Harvey's arm. But the incident with Harvey was simply the latest in a long string of violent behavior, which also included verbally abusing a high-ranking female school official.
Mark Shaw, Harvey's stepfather, berated the university for not taking action sooner.
"I'm a little dismayed at all the incidents that have gone on." Shaw told ESPN yesterday. "If the school did something sooner, then the incident with my stepson could have been avoided."
Reaction to Knight's firing ran swiftly over the college basketball landscape. Iowa coach and former Indiana star Steve Alford
was upset by the news of Knight's firing.
"It saddens me to see one of the greatest eras of college basketball end this way." Alfred said yesterday in a prepared statement. "I'm very appreciative of all the influences that Coach Knight has had on my life as well as my basketball career."
A search for Knight's replacement will start immediately with Alford being considered as one of the top candidates to replace him. The replacement may not happen until after the season, though. Brand said the new coach would likely be an interim coach, with a permanent replacement coming later.
"It's a very big shock," she said. "I'm a big Bobby Knight fan, so it hasn't been a very good weekend for Indiana sports."
Allison Heyworth, Carmel, Ind., junior, said she remembered watching Knight's Hoosiers while growing up.
"I think his legacy will always live on," she said. "He was always known as an aggressive, winning coach."
Heyworth said Knight's legacy would be the national championships and the 763 victories he amassed — not his violence-induced firing.

Save what you can to make changes at home in December. You may have to do an old job over again in February. Let a dream inspire you in March. Your experience could lead to abundance in June. Join with friends in your chosen field in July. A critic helps you fine-tune your act in August.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day. O the most challenging.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
Even if you express yourself well, you're liable to run into difficulties. The others won't want to do what you're asking This is a lesson for you in patience and persistence.
Cancer June 22-July 22] — Today is a 6. Although you feel strong, move with caution. Something that's going on behind the scenes could affect you. Find out what it is before you take action. Ask a person who knows all the gossip and can't help but pass it along.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
Lebo July 23-Aug. 22 — Today is a 5.
Although you’re confident, getting things to go the way you’ve planned may be hard. Somebody you thought was on your side could be part of the problem. Hold your temper and watch for ways to make corrections.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5. Luckily, you're probably already on a healthy diet. That's good, because your nerves could be on edge. Others may say or do ridiculous things. Be patient and try not to make big decisions. Hang in there; it'll get better.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
The hardest thing for you will be listening. You'll want to share your great ideas and tell the other person what to do. That's not going to be effective, though. If you can listen long enough for the other person to figure it out, the lesson will be retained.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
You may have to do the same job over three or four times. That's what it feels like, anyway. To minimize mistakes, consider all possible consequences before you act. They'll happen anyway, but at least you know to watch for them.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7. You're lucky in love now, and that's good. You may need all the luck you can get to keep your sense of humor. A disagreement about money is a likely tension producer. Share your favorite cheap dinner with your sweetheart to keep things light.

INDIANAPOLIS — Defending champion on Gil Morgan was declared the winner of the Comfort Classic yesterday when rain and lightning forced the last round of the seniors' golf event to be canceled.
in last round cancellation
Morgan finished at 13 under par to earn $187,500 for his third victory of the year. His two-round total of 131 gave him a one-stroke victory over Jim Ahern.
Rain and lightning halted play at the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course on the grounds of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway more than two hours before Morgan was to start. After a two-hour delay, tour officials deemed the course unplayable.
Bruce Fleisher, the top moneywinner on the tour this year, shared third with Tom Wargo at 133. George McGinnis, who shot his second consecutive 67 on Saturday, held fifth place at 134.
Dana Quigley was at 135, as were Chuck Moran and Jim Colbert. Course record-holder Mike McCullough tied for ninth with George Burns, Jay Sigel and J.C. Snead at 136.
Morgan's total surpassed the tournament's lowest win score by two strokes. Isao Aoki established the record in 1994, when the first round was washed out by rain. Rain also forced cancellation of the final round in 1993.

Jayhawk women win meet;men finish third
By Ryan Malashock sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Freshmen Laura Lavoie and Lauren Brownrigg opened their collegiate running careers with a bang on Saturday, leading the Kansas women's cross country team to a first-place finish in the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm.
The women, who scored 27 points, easily bettered Oklahoma's 46 points and Wichita State's 52 points. Scores are determined by adding the finishing places of the runners, and the lowest score wins.
Truman State University finished first in the men's race, scoring 36 points. Wichita State's 51 points placed second, Kansas' 57 placed third and Oklahoma's 81 placed fourth.
Kansas juniors Mark Menefee and Brent Behrens finished second and third, leading the Kansas men.
First year coach Stanley Redwine focused on the meet as a chance for both teams to get experience and to answer the numerous questions that Redwine had entering the season. Redwine said he couldn't have been happier with Saturday's results.
"Anytime you have two freshmen finish in the Top 3 in a race, it shows promise for the team," Redwine said. "The girls did very well today, and the guys did their best, and that's all that we can ask for."
Lavole led from start to finish in
the 5K women's race, posting a time of 19:57.
"The coaches knew that I have a history of going out too fast, and they didn't really want me to," she said. "I was just surprised because after about a mile, I glanced back and there was no one close to me. I didn't really know what to do."
Brownrigg, who placed third, said she was happily surprised by her finish.
"I had a friend who ran here two years ago in the NCAA championships, and she told me some horror stories." Brownrigg said. "The course really tests you. There were some steep hills back there."
Redwine got quite a workout himself on Saturday. He and assistant coach Doug Clark could be seen chasing their athletes around the entire course, shouting encouragement.
His runners said that it was that kind of effort and dedication that had earned their respect during the first few weeks of the season.
"The coaches have shown that they want us to get better." Laviole said. "I like the training we do because they're not big on running until we're dead. They pace us and show us how to get better."
Meneffe, who sat out last year because of a knee injury, said Saturday's meet could be a positive sign for the entire program.
"I'm still getting used to the coaches," he said. "They work us really hard and expect a lot out of us, and I think that's why everyone likes working with them."
Redwine said he hoped Saturday's strong performance could give the Jayhawks momentum as they head into the bulk of their schedule.
"We just want to get better every day, every meet." Redwine said. "Now we've seen our starting point, and we'll take it from there."
Kansas' next meet is Saturday at the Iowa State Open Cross Country Invitational in Ames, Iowa.

Soccer team splits weekend games

bumped the score to 3-1 in the 58th minute.
For the third weekend in a row, the Kansas women's soccer team finished its road trip with mixed feelings.
The Jayhawks traveled to Irvine, Calif., to play in the California-Irvine Tournament. Just like the two previous road trips this season, Kansas split two games in the opponents' territory, losing to California-Irvine 3-2 on Friday and defeating Cal State-Fullerton 3-1 yesterday.
In Friday's game, Kansas faced two powerful enemies other than California-Irvine — the sun and its own defense on corner kicks.
The Anteaters — last week's FILA Women's Soccer Classic champions at Cal State-Fullerton — struck first in the 18th minute with an unexpected assist.
When California-Irvine forward Erin Tuvey attempted a 25-yard cross pass on the left side, a setting California sun blinded Kansas goalie Layla Young. The pass was played wide of Tuvey's intended target and went into the Kansas goal.
California-Irvine scored its second goal off a corner kick two minutes later when Kansas defense let an Anteater loose in the Kansas penalty area and the unmarked player netted a header on the corner kick.
Kansas cut into California-Irvine's lead just after the second half began, with junior forward Natalie Hoogveld's third goal this season.
But another poor Kansas defense on a corner kick
Senior midfielder Colleen Colvin tallied her first goal this season in the 90th minute and put Kansas just one goal behind. But the final whistle was blown shortly thereafter.
Assistant coach Donna Holman said that overall, the team did a good job defending.
"We played relatively well in the back, but our defense on corner kicks really killed us," she said. "We will really have to work on that."
Led by a pair of freshman midfielders — Maggie Mason and Jennifer Ray — Kansas managed to bounce back against Cal State-Fullerton.
"We played much better," coach Mark Francis said. "Unfortunately, they scored their goal off of a corner kick, so we'll have to continue working on that, but it was a good overall performance."
Mason, an Elmira, Ontario, native, scored her first collegiate goal in the 40th minute off Colvin's cross pass and gave Kansas a 1-0 halftime lead.
"Maggie did well in midfield today," Francis said.
"She stepped on her play and scored a great goal."
After Cal State-Fullerton tied the game in the 66th minute off a corner kick, the Jayhawks regained a one-goal lead with senior forward Lindsey Horner's shot in the 77th minute. Ray then buried her second goal of the season in the 85th minute.
Kansas, now standing at 3-3, will finally play its first home game this season at the 2000 KU Credit Union Jayhawk Soccer Classic this weekend in Lawrence

Golf team pleased Senior smashes way into prominence with early effort

The Kansas women's golf team's hopes of finishing among the top teams at the Unlimited Potential/Bay Tree Classic were dashed after the first day of competition.
The Jayhawks managed to finish in the middle of the pack - 14th out of 31 teams at the season's first three-
round, par-72, 18 hole tournament.
coach tournament.
Coach Nicole
Hollingsworth
said she was impressed with her team's opening day efforts.

"This was an exciting first day for Kansas women's golf."
Kansas women's golf,
Hollinsworth said. "I am really pleased that three of our five golfers shot in the 70s. We played the front nine well, but really turned it in on the back nine."
While the Jayhawks may have shown some of their overall team potential during the first round, they also recorded impressive individual performances.
Senior Ashely Bishop led all Kansas golfers with a score of 233, including a
77 on the first day of competition when the 'Hawks were in sixth place. Bishop tied for 30th in the individual standings.
Sophomore Heather Rose finished with a score of 234 and placed 36th individually. Tiffany Kruggel, Sarah Mahoney and Crystal Thayer finished with scores of 243, 243, and 244.
"I am very pleased with our play for the first tournament of the year," Hollingsworth said. "We had a good tournament, and Ashely played good for us. I am even more happy for how she did."
Finishing 35 strokes behind tournament champion Kent State, the Jayhawks shot 310 in the final round after shooting 303 and 313 on Friday and Saturday.
Runner-up Penn State finished 8 strokes behind Kent State while Louisville, Florida International, and East Carolina rounded out the top five.
The top five individual players were Michelle Simpson of Florida International with 222; Jenny Gleason, UNC-Greensboro, and Jessica Kransy, East Carolina, each with 224; Jan Dowling, Kent State, 225, and Kathy Johnson, Jacksonville State, with 225.

Renata Nowacki never knew what hit her.
All Nowacki, a setter for the Mississippi volleyball team, had to do was look in the mirror and see the Nike swoosh tattooed across her forehead to inform her that she had just been belted in the face by an Amy Myatt kill.
It shouldn't have come as a shock to Nowacki. Myatt, a senior, has been blasting kills like nobody's business this fall. After smashing 66 in the first four matches of the season, which helped earn her MVP honors at the Purdue Mortar Board Premier Tournament two weeks ago in West Lafayette, Ind., she followed up with 79 kills in four matches at the Jayhawk Invitational this weekend and was an All-Tournament Team selection.
The big hits have come as no surprise to her.
"I knew I'd be getting more of the sets, and just being on the left side you typically get most of the sets," Myatt said. "I was ready for it. My shoulder's tired; it's ready for a little rest."
Her shoulder should be tired after all of that swinging, which she's done under heavy coverage.
"Once again, tonight you know their big blocker is camping out there on her and she gets 24 kills in 44 swings; great effort," said Kansas coach Rav Bechard.
Exceptional, considering the holes that had to be filled after losing the top two killers in Kansas history, Amanda Reves and Mary Beth Albrecht, to graduation.
Myatt and senior Nancy Bell stepped in to fill that void, along with freshman outside hitter Sarah Rome.
"She's had a lot to do, and some others have responded well, too," said Bechard. "But I think it has been Myatt and Bell who have really carried the load, and then we've had some balance from some other people."
That balance has Myatt convinced*that her team is ready for Big 12 Conference play, which begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday when Kansas takes on Colorado at Horejsi Family Athletic Center.
"I think with having such a successful preseason we're just going to have a lot of confidence going in, to play aggressively, and just get down to business." Myatt said.
It won't be business as usual for Myatt, though. She can expect to be marked heavily by her opponents' toughest blockers after having such a high level of early season success.
"She is, I think, one of the premier outside hitters going right now," Bechard said.
Myatt is a dangerous hitter, indeed, but so is her team. The Jayhawks have rolled to an 8-0 start, tied for the best in school history, and Myatt said there is more to come.
"We have a lot of potential." Myatt said. "We have some quality people, both on and off the court. I'm really excited for this year and the things to come."

Titans defeat Chiefs at.home
Field goal brings victory in overtime
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Adelphia Coliseum remains "Home Sweet Home" for the Tennessee Titans. Barely.
Al Del Greco kicked a 36-yard field goal in overtime, helping the Titans rally for a 17-14 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs in their home opener yesterday.
The victory kept the AFC champions (1-1) undefeated in their new home and tied the NFL record held by the 1971 Dallas Cowboys with nine consecutive home victories.
The Chiefs (0-2) had a chance to win when the game was tied 14-14 and they got the ball back with 44 seconds left in regulation, but they couldn't move forward enough.
A pass interference call against Titans cornerback Denard Walker, who missed the season opener under a one-game suspension by the NFL, moved the Chiefs to the Titans 43 yard line. Elvis Grbac then found Tony Gonzalez with a 9-yarder to the 34 yard line, seemingly setting up Pete Stoyanovich for the winning field goal attempt.
He never got the chance. Chiefs receiver Derrick Alexander was penalized for pass interference and Grbac was penalized for intentional grounding, pushing the Chiefs to
their own 45 yard line. They wound up punting and heading into overtime.
The Titans won the coin toss and needed five plays to move 48 yards to set up Del Greco's winning field goal with 12:02 remaining.
Tennessee got into overtime because of some late help from Neil O'Donnell. The backup quarterback came in with 6:25 left in regulation after Steve McNair was carted off with a bruised chest. His first drive ended with 3:11 to go when O'Donnell was sacked on fourth-and-5.
He didn't waste his next opportunity, moving the Titans 56 yards in eight plays, capped by an 8-yard toss to Yancey Thigpen with 50 seconds remaining for a 14-14 tie.
Randa ends late-season slump
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Joe Randa's best big-league season is being followed by a second terrific year.
The Associated Press
Driving in five runs yesterday in a 13-8 victory over Texas, Kansas City's soft-spoken third baseman broke out of a late-season slump while nudging his average back to .300 and boosting his RBI total to a career-best 94.
"I wouldn't say I was physically tired," he said. "It was more mental."
Mark Quinn had two doubles and two RBI, helping the Royals keep the Rangers from their first three-

He appeared to limp home because of a cramped right hamstring and was replaced in left field.
"It just knotted up and I didn't want to take a chance on it." Quinn said.

Dave McCarty followed Randa's two-run single in the sixth with a two-run homer for an 8-3 lead.
Texas scored twice in the third on Luis Alicea's RBI single and Rusty Greer's infield grounder. Mike Lamb's RBI single made it 4-3 in the sixth.

High court to hear student's case
By Lauren Brandenburg
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A case that may change how police can enforce minor in possession statutes goes before the Kansas Supreme Court today.
The case of the State of Kansas v. David L. Pritchett was dismissed on Oct. 28, 1999, by Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin, but has since been appealed.
At issue is whether looking young or being underage is grounds to detain someone or ask them questions.
The case stems back to Aug. 27, 1999, when Pritchett, Wichita junior, then 19, was holding an alcoholic beverage at a fraternity party. Donald G. Strole, Pritchett's attorney, said Pritchett was approached by an Alcohol Beverage Control agent, who asked him for identification because he looked underage.
Strole said Pritchett told the officer he did not have time and did not have his ID on him.
"He never got a chance to leave because they said they were going to hold him until they found out who he was." Strobe said.
Pritchett broke away while being led to
the ABC van, Strole said, but was caught and arrested.
Pritchett originally was charged with minor in possession, having a fake ID and obstructing the legal process.
"We filed a motion to suppress because there was no basis for reasonable suspicion, and running away is not an obstruction of justice," Strole said. "The district court upheld all of these things for us and dismissed the case."
The prosecution filed an appeal, which Assistant District Attorney Angela Wilson said normally would go to the Court of
Appeals, but was picked up by the Kansas Supreme Court.
"It's not an extremely severe crime, but a very important area of the law to be clear about what law enforcement officers can do." Wilson said. "It has a profound impact on both sides — tavern owners and patrons."
Douglas County District Court has postponed all pending MIP cases until the Kansas Supreme Court makes a ruling in the Pritchett case.

Medical school applicants decrease
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Bv Melissa Davis
Getting into medical school might not be as competitive as it used to be. The effects of a steady national decline in medical school applications are being felt in Kansas.
During the past six years, national applications to medical schools have declined.
In 1998,38,261 people applied to medical schools nationally,but in 2000, applications dropped to 36,742, according to University of Kansas Medical Center admissions statistics.
Mary Beth Gentry, assistant dean for
external affairs at the Med Center, said although there was a definite drop in applications during the last six years at the University, the number of Med Center applications was slightly higher this year — from 1,392 applicants in 1999 to 1,424 in 2000.
Gentry said she thought the increase was because of acceptance of Kansas residents, which made up 86 percent of students accepted.
"We're the only (medical) school in the whole state, so our primary objective is to try to get Kansas residents into medical school," she said.
Gentry said there were only 175 spots available each year, but the school wouldn't have a hard time filling
"We're the only (medical) school in the whole state, so our primary objective is to try to get Kansas residents into medical school."
She said she thought many factors had led to the national decline during the past six years.

takes to become physicians," Gentry said.
Paul Crosby, University medical professions adviser, said he thought the decrease in applicants was traceable to a strong economy, which made students consider other professions.
Crosby also said the national decline was apparent in the number of people taking the Medical College Admission Test at the University.
In 1999, 123 KU students took the MCAT compared with the 103 students that took the admission test this year. But Crosby said this didn't include the numbers from August's MCAT applicants.

Hillel puts faith, pride in Judaism
By Leita Schultes
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Tikkun Olam is Hebrew for "healing the world" and is an important tenet of the Jewish faith.
It also is a major goal for Hillel, a Jewish student organization at the University of Kansas.
"We really see ourselves as a community center and a community resource," said Sue Shafer-Landau, Hillel's faculty advisor. ("Hillel) is a Jewish cultural, social and religious organization."
She said the group had been at the University for about 50 years. There are 1,500 Jewish students on campus, and about 300 participate in Hillel.
Sarah Shik, president of Hillel's governing body, the Jewish Student Council, said the group planned to step up its community service this year. Hillel members are considering volunteering at Jubilee Cafe, which feeds homeless people, and with Jewish environmental groups. Habitat for Humanity and school literacy programs also are possible projects.
Shafer-Landau said another important aspect of Hillel was the Israel Birthright program, which sends Jewish students to Israel for free. Twenty KU students took advantage of the program last year, and Shafer-Landau said about 40 students would go this year. She is taking applications now.
Hillel also aims to educate its members about the religion's richness.
"Judaism is a religion, but ... there's a culture around it," Shafer-Landau said. "It's about food, it's about music."
She said Jewish students at the University experienced only minimal discrimination, but they dealt with annoyances because of their faith and ethnicity.
Professors often forget about Jewish holidays, such as Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur, and Christmas often is treated like a universal holiday, she said.
Because their faith is not reflected in how they look, Jewish students often face anti-Semitic jokes or slurs, Shafer-Landau said. She also said people might refrain if they realized they were being offensive.
Shik agreed that some anti-Semitism exists on campus.
"I think in the Midwest especially, and across the Bible Belt, people don't understand," she said. "Every minority faces that, to some extent."
Shik said she was excited about this year's presidential election and the Democratic Party's Jewish vice-presidential candidate, Joseph Lieberman.
She said she didn't think Lieberman would bring his personal beliefs into the public forum.
Allan Cigler, professor of government, agreed. Cigler said Lieberman was on the ticket because of his strong moral stance rather than his faith.
Nevertheless, Lieberman's candidacy brings Judaism into the public eye and increases Jewish pride, Shik said.
"Everybody's excited — all types of Jews," she said. "And it's really cool because it kind of draws the community together. I think that people will be more curious to learn about Judaism." — Edited by Shawn Hutchinson

Students find alternate online music sources
Bv Jason Kraall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The LaCrosse, Wis., sophomore knew he had plenty of other options for download free music.
Ben Gholson wasn't worried when Napster kicked him off for trying to download a Metallica song.
Alternative online music sources such as imesh.com, scour.com and a myrid of file transfer protocol sites offer music in digital formats.
"There's a lot of places to get music online other than Napster," he said.
Students began looking for alternatives to Napster when the popular file-sharing service, which allows users to download
Imesh and Scour operate similarly to Napster, providing a search engine for users to find MP3 files on other users' hard drives. Other services such as mp3.com allow users to download free music from a central server.
MP3 files directly from each other's computers, was ordered to shut down after losing a copyright suit in August. However, the service was allowed to continue operating after a judge stayed the order pending appeal.
That service lost a lawsuit to Universal Studios last week. Universal said mp3.com infringed on copyright law by distributing music in digital format. Universal sued for $25,000 per song, which could add up to $118 million in awards.
Related story
Time Warner's music division announced
plans yesterday to sell music on the Web.
See page 5A
The online service plans to relaunch its Mymp3.com digital music storage service in the coming weeks and is negotiating a smaller settlement with Universal.
File transfer protocol sites such as hotlinesw.com offer music, as well as software, video and digital images. However, much of the content on the sites is pirated and illegal, and the file servers often are difficult to use. Gholson said.
"When you log on, they assume you know more than you actually do." he said.
Students, such as Rich Agular, London.
England, senior, say that finding free music online broadens the scope of music they are exposed to.
In contrast, Andrew Ward, Lenexa junior, recalls hearing the local band Lullaby For The Working Class on the radio one morning. He liked its song, but said he couldn't find its CD in any local music stores. After finding a couple of its tracks on Napster, he decided he liked them enough to order three of the band's CDs online.
"Since Napster, I've been able to get some songs that I like to listen to but wouldn't buy," Aguilar said.
"If I hadn't found their MP3s online, I probably wouldn't have bought the CDs," he said.

Environment becomes focus of Florida race
WASHINGTON — An airport controversy at the southern rim of the imperiled Florida's Everglades is causing the vice president problems among disappointed Florida environmentalists.
Once considered solidly in GOP nominee George W. Bush's camp, the Florida presidential race has tightened, forcing both candidates to spend more time there. But just as Gore needs the strong support of environmentalists in the politically crucial state, the dispute over Homestead Air Force Base less than 1.0 miles from the Everglades is dampening their enthusiasm toward the vice president.
Gore has refused to either support or oppose conversion of the base to a commercial, reliever airport, as some powerful South Florida Democrats and business interests have urged.
Bush promotes plans during visit to Florida
AUSTIN, Texas — George W. Bush is using appearances in Florida, a state that Republican strategists once believed was firmly in his column, to promote his health care and prescription drug proposals.
bush's brother Jeb is governor of Florida, but that may not be enough to offset a spirited challenge by Gore and runmate Men. Joseph Lieberman. Bush will spend two days campaigning in Florida before going to the West Coast, with a stop in St. Louis today.
Study shows ticketing in Wichita is biased
WICHTA — Police officers here ticketed African-American motorists at a rate 58 percent higher than Caucasians, according to a study by The Wichita Eagle.
The analysis covered the period from 1997 through May 2000. Using ticket data and city population, the newspaper reported when numbers are adjusted for population, African-American drivers were more than three times as likely as Caucasian drivers to get 10 or more tickets during that period.
"The numbers are disproportionate. The question is why," said Police Chief Norman Williams, who said he is awaiting the findings of a committee studying whether racial profiling is a problem in Wichita.
City Council member George Rogers, who is African-American, said racial profiling does occur in Wichita. He called it a disproportionate amount of service rendered toward African-American citizens.
"is somebody going to tell me that black folks drive worse than white folks?" he said.
Gene variations affect asthma drug response
WASHINGTON — In a step toward an age of personalized medicines, researchers have found gene variations that affect the way individual asthma sufferers respond to a drug widely used to control acute attacks.
Out of thousands of variations in a single game, the researchers said they have identified 12 that determine how well asthma patients respond to albuterol, a drug commonly used to prevent or to control acute attacks.
The study appears today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Coin collectors favor presidents, celebrities
CONCORD, N.H. — Coin collectors around the country would like to have the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Ronald Reagan and Harry Truman in their pockets.

The collectors' suggestions ranged from Jesus Christ to the Three Stooges and included 33 presidents as well as astronauts, actresses, artists, baseball players, pioneers and Elvis Presley.
The Littleton Coin Co. of Littleton, N.H. posted the survey on Its Web site and sent questionnaires to customers with coin orders.

OPEC to boost output hopes to lower prices
VIENNA, Austria — OPEC has agreed to boost its official oil output by 3 percent, but analysts say the move by the oil producers' cartel will not add enough new crude to world markets. It would roll fuel prices back from 10-year highs.
OPEC members agreed Sunday to add 800,000 barrels to their daily production because of international pressure to pump more crude and cool prices. But analysts warn the bulk of the increase will only legitimize the 700,000 barrels that OPEC members have already estimated to be producing each day above their current quota.
King was the first choice of the 1.940 collectors who responded.
They say the impact on prices will be meager — particularly for Americans who depend on heating oil to warm their homes. The new quota will take effect Oct. 1.
Democratic candidates prevail in Hong Kong
HONG KONG — Pro-democracy forces won most of the 24 seats directly chosen by voters in Hong Kong's elections, but they will be in the minority because most of the legislature's seats aren't picked by popular vote, results showed yesterday.
Ordinary citizens were able to vote for just 24 of the 60 Legislative Council seats in Sunday's election. Special interest groups — such as business leaders, lawyers and doctors — picked 30 candidates. Six were selected by a committee in a convoluted arrangement that opponents say ensures control by pro-Beijing figures and business interests. Of the 24 popularly elected seats, pro-democracy forces took 15 while pro-Beijing and pro-business candidates wone.
Economic forum draws protestors in Australia
MELBOURNE Australia -
MELBOURNE, Australia — Protesters clashed with police yesterday and vandalized the cars of delegates trying to enter an international economic forum — the latest target of an anti-globalization movement
Thousands of demonstrators surrounded the hotel and casino complex where the three-day Asia-Pacific Economic Summit is meeting. They delayed the start of the event organized by the Switzerland-based World Economic Forum. One delegate, Western Australia state Premier Richard Court, was trapped in his car for about 20 minutes as a crowd of protesters jumped on it and slashed its tires. Angry clashes broke out as police, some on horseback, broke through the crowd to allow Court's车 to pass.

Campus thefts, burglaries common
Despite decline students urged to be cautious
By Rob Pazell
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Ike Ezefili woke up his roommate, Galen Spong, in the early morning hours of Labor Day.
Spong, Overland Park sophomore had been sleeping and didn't hear the burglar who opened his unlocked door and stole many items from his ninth floor room in Ellsworth Hall. Ezeffli, Dallas freshman, had been at a party and returned to find the property missing.
"I knew I put my phone on my desk," Ezefili said. "I got back, looked at my desk, and it was gone." Theft and burglary are the most
reported crimes on campus, said Lt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office. The theft involves stealing something from a public area, whereas burglary is unauthorized entry into a private area with the intent to commit a theft or felony.
Thefts and burglaries
According to the public safety office, there were 386 thefts reported on

decreased in recent years.

campus in 1999, down from 525 in 1998. The number of burglaries dropped from 248 in 1998 to 188 in 1999. Twenty-eight of the 1999 burglaries took place in residence halls, compared with 33 in 1998.
Although numbers have been going down, the public safety office urges KU students and staff members to keep a watchful eye on their
property on campus and to keep their unattended property locked up.
Ezefil and Spong said they had been more cautious since the burglary.
The burglar stole
"I pretty much trust everyone on the floor," Spong said. "But we've been locking the door a whole lot more now."
Spong's flip-flap sandals and his contacts. Eezfill's cell phone, pager, bus pass, and matching watch and bracelet also were taken.
Ezefill said he was surprised that other items of value weren't taken.
"They didn't take any electronic stuff — no mini-discs, no DVDs." Ezefili said. "They didn't even take the ring that sat right next to my bracelet and watch."
Bailey said electronics, compact discs, computer equipment and books usually were the most common items stolen.
The public safety office offered these prevention tips;
"People will get up in the library and go look at the stacks," Bailey said. "People will get up at the end of class and leave their books. You have to keep track of your property."
- Lock your residence hall doors at all times, even while occupying the room.
- Engrave your valuables, and record all serial numbers.
Engraving tools may be checked out free of charge at the public safety office.
- Leave heirloom jewelry at home or secure it in a lockable drawer or footlocker.
- Report to the police anything or anyone who seems suspicious or out of place.

Senate to begin process of selecting justices

Student organizations that want to bring grievances to the revamped Student Senate Judicial Board will have to

longer.
A selection committee consisting of one representative from each
of Senate's four standing committees will meet sometime this week to plan the process of selecting the board's justices, said Aaron Profitt, selection committee member. He said the entire selection process should be completed in a few weeks.
Senate voted in the spring to
reorganize the board, which had been inactive for several years. Student Body Vice President Marlon Marshall said the new board would provide faster mediation for conflicts between student organizations than the University Judicial Board, which handles conflicts throughout the University.
"It's hard to get a meeting time with the University Judicial Board," Marshall said. "There's lots of delays because they have so much to do. Hopefully, the Student Senate Judicial Board will speed up the time it takes for student groups that have conflicts."
The board will mediate conflicts among student organizations, as well as conflicts among Student Senate and possibly among students. For

example, if an organization was denied funding by Student Senate, that group could file a grievance with the judicial board.
The board also will serve as an arena for appeals of decisions made by the elections
commission.
Because the updated board will be coming to life this year, the initial selection process differs from future nominations. Profitf said soon after the selection committee met, it would make applications for associate justice positions available to the student body.
Four associate justices — one law student, one graduate student and two undergraduate students — will be nominated by the selection committee. A chief justice will be nominated by Student Body President Ben Walker.
Walker said that he had not yet made his final decision on a chief justice nominee, but that he would decide before tomorrow night's Senate meeting. Senate will vote to approve or reject the nomination at the meeting.
All nominees for the board
must be approved by three-fourths of the Student Executive Committee and two-thirds of Senate. Associate justices will serve a four-year term, and the chief justice will serve on the board for one year.
After this academic year, the student body president will nominate all justices and the chief justice. Marshall said that the procedure of nominations and approvals was modeled after other governments.
"I didn't see any problem with the student body president nominating the justices," he said. "It's a pretty hard process to get to be a justice, and that's to make sure that the person would be a good justice and not biased or partisan. I thought there were enough checks and balances in the system."

Recent problems discourage trips to Westport area
By Meghan Bainum
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Crowded streets and increasing violence have discouraged some University of Kansas students from traveling to the popular Westport area of Kansas City, Mo.
As many as 3,000 people visit Westport on an average weekend night. But recently, police have seen the typical trends of drinking and dancing descend into rock- and bottle-throwing.
the recent problems have caused some KU students to think twice about making the 45-minute drive to Kansas City's party district.
The raucous environment in Westport can be dangerous for visitors as well. Several women have been physically attacked in the area in the past few weeks. And this summer, nine people were found carrying guns in the Westport area.
Jeff McCoy, Overland Park senior, said he used to go to Westport all the time, but now he only goes once a month — at the most.
McCoy said the crowds, safety and lack of parking all were reasons he limited his trips to Westport.
"It wasn't as much fun as it used to be because there were too many people that were loitering around, and it didn't feel as safe as it used to," he said.
McCoy said that streets were shut down to limit the number of people hanging out in Westport. He said that while he did see police officers in the area, law enforcement officers were there primarily to break up fights and that they didn't seem to help with the crowds.
"Any time you see a fight or any trouble in the street, they (the police) are there pretty quickly, but I don't know if they're going out of their way to help people," he said.
Some students such as Cassie Holman, Liberal senior, said there were ways around the crowds and problems.
Holman said that she still visited Westport about twice a month, but that she usually went in the middle of the week because there were fewer people and it was easier to park.
"Drinks are only 25 cents, and on Wednesday it isn't as crowded and the music is better," Holman said.
McCoy said going out on weeknights was not an appealing option for him. He longs for the less-hectic Westport that he remembers.
Based on his recent visits, McCoy said he thought Westport had taken a turn for the worse.
"It was a younger crowd, and it seemed like they weren't there for a good time," he said. "It just seemed like there was trouble everywhere."

Perspective
Tibetan case galvanizes activists
China applied for World Bank funding in the spring of 1999 for what would become a controversial project. The Western China Poverty Reduction Project was a plan to relocate poor Chinese into Tibet. The initial plan included the resettlement of $8,000 people into the Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous area. All seemed well for the Chinese government as the World Bank—a specialized United Nations organization that provides nearly $30 billion a year in loans to member nations for projects and structural reforms that attempt to alleviate poverty—had never denied funding for a project that met the Bank's requirements.
After the World Bank reviewed the project, Tibetan activists found many dangers in the plan and immediately began working against it.
1983
Activists argued that the resettlement of almost 60,000 Chinese into the proposed area would double the area's population and further dilute the ethnic populations of both indigenous groups. Because of previous population transfers, the area's traditional populations have already become a minority in their own country. The proposed World Bank project would only worsen the problem. The unique Tibetan culture is under attack because
Kyle Browning guest columnist opinion@kansan.com
of this process of moving Chinese citizens and military personnel into Tibet.
Also, the Bank's Indigenous Peoples Policy requires that people affected by a project be consulted when the project in question affects indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities. Yet under Chinese government authority, there is no possibility for effective discussion. China's laws penalize those who oppose the will of the government and make it extremely difficult, if not dangerous, for citizens to express their real concerns about government-sponsored initiatives. However, all of the people interviewed in the "move-in area" expressed concern about the project's environmental impacts.
The irreversible environmental impacts were not seriously studied despite Bank policy requirements that a full Environmental Assessment be completed. The agricultural and irrigation development components of the project aimed to convert an arid desert ecosystem into intensive agricultural production, potentially causing desertification, pollution and adverse health affects from pesticides and fertilizers, groundwater depletion and pollution, and loss of traditional grasslands used by nomadic heders.
After more than a year of struggle against one of the richest and most powerful international organizations, this is a tremendous victory for Tibetan activists. Essentially, the international community has refused to legitimize and fund this process of destroying Tibetan culture and land. Hundreds of parlamentarians from many countries and tens of thousands of Tibetans and citizens raised their voices in opposition to this project and, in the process, helped Tibet and its future. Unfortunately, much more must be done in the struggle for human rights and freedom for Tibetans, but the power of the Tibetan movement is clear.
In addition, the Western China Poverty Reduction Project suggested that prison labor be introduced into the area. Clearly, environmental and human rights activists had good reason to be concerned about the dangerous consequences of this project.
Soon after the project came under the consideration of the World Bank, activists began flooding the Bank with letters, phone calls, e-mails and faxes. They demanded that the Bank take into consideration the adverse affects of the project and that the Bank follow its own rules when investigating the environmental impacts of the project.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE,
I FEEL LIKE THERE
TRULY IS NO HOPE
FOR SOCIETY.
AH-HA!
I KNEW ONE DAY YOU'D SEE THE ERIDOR OF OUR WAYS!
Eventually, the Bank made a decision. It tentatively approved the project, but with the condition that a special Inspection Panel, never before used in the World Bank, be created to investigate the project further. After months of inquiry and pressure from Tibetan activists, the Inspection Panel reported its findings to the Bank. On July 7, China withdrew the Western China Poverty Reduction Project after a divided Board of Directors would not approve funding for the project.

Letters to the editor
Cats deserve more credit
I am a former Kansan staffer who has a bone to pick with Scott Kaiser's leash law column in the Sept. 1 issue of the Kansan.
This is not a personal attack. It is, however, an attack on his reasoning. I take particular exception to the line "Unlike the fickle feline, canines are man's most loyal animal companion." This is simply not true.
Cats played a major role in the elimination of the Black Plague that decimated the better portion of European civilization in the 16th and 17th centuries. (They ate the rats that carried the Plague.) Cats have been burned as the familiars of witches for many reasons, not the least of which is that many men feel ill at ease with an animal that they cannot command.
It is unfair to brand an entire species as fickle, and by extension somehow less worthy of life, just because the writer doesn't happen to like the species. I have owned several cats who seemed to view me as a two-legged tuna fish-can opener, but they all gave in the relationship as well.
T-Bone, my first cat, sat with me and panted with me and slept with me when no one else would during my labor with my son. She also slept with my son after he was born and helped him feel less alone in that huge crib. It just brothers me that Mr. Kaiser seems to think it necessary to use the pages of the Kansan to vent his personal distaste of cats. No animal, dogs inluded, should be allowed to "destroy" cats. We humans do that well enough by refusing to spay or neuter our pets.
Although Andrew Marino's column, "Masculinity not a disease to be cured," (Friday) began with a positive thought,
Culture trumps genetics in masculinity debate
Jennifer Roush December 1999 graduate in journalism
Marino quickly slipped into the mindset that indirectly endangers so many women.
It may be true that Christina Hoff Sommers, author of The War Against Boys, cites cross-cultural studies that have proven that boys are universally more bellicose. But it is certainly untrue that the culture in which they mature has nothing to do with how bellicose they become, as Marino asserts.
Differences in gender-role behavior are the result of a lifelong process of gender-role socialization. From birth, boys are taught how to be "men." They are teased for crying, playing with dolls, or for showing interest in cooking. On the other hand, they are praised for playing football, standing up for themselves against the schoolyard bully, and garnering attention from girls. Having strong interpersonal skills and being emotionally expressive are seen as feminine and are regarded as weaknesses in real men.
So let's associate masculinity with knocking people down on a field, punching out a schoolmate and getting lots of women. Then, explain to me that boys who are taught by our society to strive for "manliness" don't often turn into those very same hyper-aggressive men who are out there assaulting or raping women. And if it's not rape or assault, at the very least, excessive masculinity manifests itself as disrespect.
Marino also states that masculinity contributes much to the lives we live together. It is this very thought — men believing they are the only sex that can provide risk-taking, bravery, physical power and leadership in our world — that perpetuates this constant disrespect for women. It is our society, not our genetic makeup, that made us believe that these traits are traditionally masculine. These very same virtues are found in women, and wringing the manliness out of men and young boys will not remove these positive virtues from our world.
Brittaney Parbs St. Louis senior in journalism

Budget cut parches Murphy
Murphy Hall renovation leaves students, faculty without water fountains.
Although the University of Kansas spent millions of dollars renovating Murphy Hall this summer, some necessary finishing touches were overlooked. Budget cuts eliminated water fountains from the proposal.
After determining the $10.5 million construction budget was too steep, the University cut the budget by $1 million. The cut forced plans from the original proposal, and now Murphy Hall students and faculty are without accessible drinking water in the addition.
While the addition includes new offices, additional practice and rehearsal rooms and a new color scheme, vocalists and instrumentalists who need to be hydrated to produce sound are without water.
In the past few weeks, when temperatures reached dangerous highs, students and professors in the new building had to walk up several flights of stairs towards the old part of the building to find water. If students wanted to have water with them in their classes, they either had to bring it themselves or buy a bottle from a machine. Moreover, during auditions or rehearsals, no water jugs or coolers and cups were provided by the department to help the students through the heat.
Despite the omission of water fountains, members of the department say that water fountains are in future building plans. However, the installation of fountains may require the removal of some of the new building's plumbing for pipe work or installation.
Plans for Murphy's renovation were in the works years before ground was broken and, with the amount of money spent on its renovation, something as critical as water fountains should not have been overlooked.
Students and faculty should appeal to the University to provide an alternate form of hydration in Murphy Hall until permanent water fountains are installed.

Program offers low-cost tutoring
Bv Jennifer Valadez
Kansan staff writer
Whenever a student is struggling in a class, a sensible option is to find a tutor. However, with some private tutors charging as much as $15 per hour, money becomes an added difficulty.
For University of Kansas students seeking extra help, there is a cost-efficient option.
Beginning this semester, the KU Student Development Center is offering low-cost tutoring groups in basic general education courses for $65 per course per semester.
The groups are being offered in the following courses; Spanish 104, Biology 100, Chemistry 184, Economics 104 and 142, and Math 002, 104, 115 and 116.
Ern Griggs, assistant director of the student development center, said the course sessions would be divided into tutoring groups of three
to four students and would be led by a peer tutor. The groups will meet for one-and-a-half hour sessions twice a week for 12 weeks.
we hope to reach the students in an effective and understandable method," she said. "Some need more time out of the classroom to master it."
Griggs said, on average, private tutors charged from $10 to $15 per hour. Going through the development center, she said, would be about $3.50 per hour for the 24 sessions.
"Financial waivers will be available for those who qualify." Grigsgs said.
Griggs said the center usually helped freshmen and sophomores but that all students could use the tutoring services.
The center provides screening and training for the program's 14 peer tutors, Griggs said. "They're not just there to make some money, but to do a job for which they have been trained," she said. "It needs to be a guided
experience so that the student can learn."
Jason Crowther, Wichita sophomore and staff member for the program, said he had tutored last year before working for the low-cost tutoring program. He said although tutors must adhere to expectations with the program, they were able to conduct their sessions in a way they found effective.
"It's great that Erin trusts us enough to do what we think is best," he said.
All tutoring sessions, with the exception of four being held in residence halls, are conducted in Wesco Hall. Grigsgs said five of the 25 groups available up and running.
"We're really excited about the program so far," she said. "It's filling a need for some students on campus."

Kansas Supreme Court picks up case
Continued from page 1A
Wilson said the district court believed the officer had detained Pritchett in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits illegal searches and seizures.
The state is appealing the case because it thinks the detention was proper and not in violation of Pritchett's Fourth
Amendment rights.
"The case is pretty much straight forward." Wilson said. "The facts are the facts, and the law is the law. We agree on what happened that night, though there is some dispute about what was said and in what order the things were said."
Strole said he hoped the ruling would set a precedent.
be resolved," he said. "Is looking young or appearing underage by itself enough for reasonable suspicion to detain a subject and ask questions? The second question is, even if you have reasonable suspicion, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld that a person doesn't have to cooperate. No one can be compelled to turn over their ID or answer questions."
"Two main questions need to
Strole said holding someone and asking their name and age, using force or arresting someone was compulsion.
Wilson said it would take anywhere from one to three months after the Supreme Court heard the case for it to make its ruling.

Scientist's release delayed as case fizzles
The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The expected release of Wen Ho Lee was delayed Monday as prosecutors and Lee's defense team haggled over a plea deal that would release the jailed Los Alamos nuclear scientist.
U. S. District Judge James Parker gave no reason for putting off a scheduled court hearing until Wednesday.
"I must regretfully say that we cannot proceed with the hearing this afternoon," the judge said. "There are some issues that may require some amendment to the plea agreement."
Lee's daughter, Alberta, left the packed courtroom in tears and her mother, Sylvia, appeared dazed.
Defense attorneys declined to comment on the delay, as did Justice Department officials in Washington.
Under the deal described Sunday by government sources, Lee was expected to drop allegations that he was targeted because he is Chinese, claims included in a lawsuit against the FBI and the U.S. Departments of Energy and Justice. His attorney in the case, Brian Sun, said Monday that the lawsuit is "still viable."
According to the sources, Lee had agreed to plead guilty to only one of 59 counts accusing him of violating national security. His sentence was to be the nine months he already has served in solitary confinement.
In exchange for his freedom, Lee was expected to explain what he knows about seven computer tapes he was accused of downloading. Lee — whose defense contended he was targeted only because he is Chinese — has insisted the tapes were destroyed at the lab. His willingness to explain in more detail what happened was described as the turning point in 2-month-old plea discussions.
"The issue here is — are we getting the tapes back and we find out what happened to those tapes? I think that is the key," said Energy Secretary Bill Richardson at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tenn., before the postponement was announced. "The plea bargain enables us to get that information."
The three-year case began as an offshoot of a Chinese espionage case and led to accusations that the 60-year-old Lee had downloaded the "crown jewels" of U.S. nuclear weaponry and might be poised to give them to a foreign power.
The government has since backed down from nearly all those charges. Government sources said Lee agreed over the weekend to plead guilty to one count of unlawful gathering of national defense information, aid federal investigators over the next six months and drop the claims that prosecutors went after him because he is Chinese-American. Lee is a naturalized

"He deserves a national apology," said John Vance, a safety engineer at Los Alamos National Laboratory. "The president of the United States should call him in and apologize on national television for the damage that's done."
Lee was fired from his Los Alamos job in March 1999 and nine months later was formally accused of downloading restricted nuclear data to unsecured computers and tapes. Lee has been jailed since Dec. 10 and faced life in prison if convicted of all 59 counts.
For the second time, Lee's neighbors had to scrap plans for a welcome-home party. Homes were decked out in American flags, red, white and blue ribbons and signs of support and welcome.
"It's devastating," said Jean Marshall, Lee's next-door neighbor. "Can you write the sound of tears?"
She added: "Our enthusiasm for his homecoming has not dimmed. I believe that America is watching, and I think justice in the end will prevail."
TOPEKA — The state's highest court has been asked to settle a long-running tax dispute that could cost the nation's largest grocery retailer millions of dollars.
The Kansas Supreme Court heart arguments from attorneys yesterday in the dispute between The Kroger Co. and the state Department of Revenue. Kroger operates 69 Dillons grocery stores, as well as Kwik Shops, in Kansas.
A key legal question is whether fending off a hostile takeover attempt is part of a company's normal business. The dispute between Kroger and the department is about how expenses associated with preventing a takeover are handled under tax law.
The justices reviewed a case involving the company's Kansas income tax statements for five years, starting with 1989. The amount in dispute is more than $10.5 million.
The company contends that the department overstepped its legal authority in levying its income tax assessment. Its attorney, John H. Wachter, of Topeka, said the agency was essentially expanding the income tax law on its own.
"To uphold this assessment would allow the department to create a tax law," he told the justices.
The department's attorney, James Bartle, said the agency acted within the law and court decisions, including a 1994 ruling from the Supreme Court.
He also noted that Kroger would pay no income taxes for the five years if the court sided with the company.
Tax dispute may be costly for Kroger Co.
"The average guy out on the street making $25,000 is going to pay more in taxes than did Kroger," he said.
The Associated Press
The tax case was the first scheduled for argument during the court's 2000-01 term. The justices could issue a ruling late next month.
Kroger operates more than 2,000 grocery stores and almost 800 convenience stores nationwide. During the first quarter of this year, it reported more than $14 billion in sales, and it files income tax statements in 38 states.
In 1988, the company borrowed $4.1 billion to fend off a hostile takeover attempt. It spent most of the money — $3.3 billion — to pay its stockholders a special dividend.
In 1987, the annual dividend for stockholders was $1.05 per share. In 1988, it was $49.50.
Bartle argued that the unusual nature of the transaction meant that the company's interest costs from the borrowing, about $400 million a year, didn't occur in the normal course of business. That means those expenses couldn't off-set its Kansas tax liability.
Beginning and Intermediate Knitting Classes Starting Soon!
About half of the department's $10.5 million assessment is actual tax owed by Kroger for 1989-93. The rest is penalties for not paying and interest charges.

K-State, former coach reach agreement
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas State University will spend $665,000 to buy out the contract of former men's basketball coach Tom Asbury, The Kansas City Star reported.
According to financial information released to The Star and reported in Sunday's editions, the university will continue making regular biweekly payments to Asbury as if he were an active employee. Financial terms of the settlement agreement, reached in June, had previously been labeled confidential and were not disclosed publicly.
Asbury, Kansas State's head coach for six years, was fired in March. The two sides agreed on terms of the buyout only after taking their differences to a mediator.
"The process turned out fine," Asbury told the newspaper Friday from his new home in California. "I'm happy with it."
Asbury lost his job shortly after the season, when the Wildcats finished 9-19 overall and 2-14 in Big 12 play. Asbury had an overall record of 85-88 in Manhattan, departing as the first losing coach in Wildcat men's basketball history since 1946.
At the time he was fired, Asbury had a base salary of $165,600 and two more years on his contract.
According to The Star, the university agreed to pay him $339,000 in base-salary provisions contained in the settlement. Those payments started on July 1 and included a stipulation that he be paid $50,000 of it by July 7.
Regular payments will continue until the full $339,000 is paid.
The balance of the total settlement agreement — $316,000 — covers the additional financial incentives contained in the contract, including deferred compensation, appearance fees and bonus incentives. That amount will be paid during a period of three years.
Athletics director Max Urick, who reiterated on Friday his desire not to publicly discuss terms of the settlement, said only that Kansas State didn't want its financial commitment toward Asbury to act as a roadblock to the basketball program.
"I wouldn't want the history of anyone to impact the possibility of the future," Urick said. "You have to start fresh."
The two sides were at odds soon after Asbury's dismissal. In late March, Asbury held a makeshift press conference at his home and said that he and Kansas State had significant financial differences
on terms of the termination.
Kansas State released the remaining terms of the settlement agreement Thursday. Asbury, 55, lived in Manhattan until June. He now is living in California and working for a mortgage company. He once earned a real-estate license in the state, he said, and decided to go into business with a friend.
And while Asbury plans to do some scouting for various NBA teams, he's not yet sure if coaching is in his future.
"Right now, I'm not looking to jump back into it," he said.
Asbury also declined to take any shots at his former employer.
"That's a chapter that's over with and done," he said. "I don't regret going to K-State. Things didn't work out maybe the way we hoped, but it wasn't a total disaster."
Darryl Strawberry arrested after non-injury accident
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Darryl Strawberry, the suspended New York Yankees outfielder who has battled cancer and drug abuse, was jailed yesterday after running into a street sign and then a vehicle stopped at a red light.
Strawberry blacked out at the wheel from prescription medication his lawyer said.
The eight-time All Star faces two misdemeanor charges, driving while impaired and leaving the scene of an accident with damage, plus two counts of probation violation.
Strawberry told officers he had taken the sleeping medication Ambient. He failed a field-sobri
ety test, but a blood-alcohol test showed no alcohol in his system.

Oklahoma punt returner lauded
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Surprise, surprise. A great punt returner is being honored in the Big 12, and his name is not David Allen.
J. T. Thatcher, who is rewriting many Oklahoma team records, was named the conference's special teams player of the week after collecting 160 yards on five punt returns in a 45-7 victory against Arkansas State.
Thatcher's 66-yard touchdown return was his second in just 13 career returns. His 160 total return yards broke Oklahoma's single-game record, which caused every coach in the Big 12 to sit up and take notice.
Allen, who was injured in No. 7 Kansas State's season opener against Iowa, is expected to be on the sidelines until the Wildcats open their conference season Sept. 30 at Colorado. When he gets back, he'll still need one touchdown return to break the NCAA career record: an added bit of spice that brings the Kansas State crowd to to its feet on every punt.
To Iowa State coach Dah McCarney, nobody on the field is more worthy of respect than a man who stands back all alone and fields the punt.
"I know every time our punt return unit goes on the field, there is some excitement that might not normally be there in other special teams units." Kansas State coach Bid Snyder said.
"Even if nobody's coming down trying to light you up, catching a punt is one of the hardest things to do," said McCarney, whose Cyclones are 2-0 for the second time since 1985. "It's even harder when people are running at you like their hair is on fire."
Texas coach Mack Brown is not backing down from his two-quarterback plans. Newcomer Chris Simms faltered in his first start, throwing an interception that was brought back for a touchdown by Louisiana-Lafayette. Then Major Applewhite came in to throw for more than 300 vards and four touchdowns.
Brown said he expected a two-quarterback system would become common, and Simms and Applewhite would both still play.
"The times are changing in college football." Brown said. "A lot of people are having trouble changing with it. What we're trying to do is get ahead of the changes in college football."
"America wants one key guy because that's the way most of us were raised," Brown said. "I want two key guys. If one key guy has a bad day, maybe the other key guy can pick him up."
Big 12 honors freshman soccer player
By Yoshitaka Ebisawa
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Jennifer Ray earned another award to help decorate her already impressive resume.
Ray, freshman midfielder on the Kansas soccer team, was named the Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Week yesterday by the conference office in Dallas. The award is a result of Ray's performance at the California-Irvine Tournament last weekend in Irvine, Calif.
In Friday's game against UC-Irvine, Ray set up a scoring chance by assisting junior forward Natalie Hoogveld. In Sunday's game against Cal State-Fullerton, Ray dominated the midfield and scored her second collegiate goal with Hoogveld's assist.
Ray said she was happy about receiving praise, but said she didn't think that she was at her best yet.
"I haven't achieved any sort of form where I should be at," she said.
Having played in each of Kansas' six games this season as a reserve, Ray has two goals and one assist.
"She came in off the bench and did a very good job," said Kansas coach Mark Francis. "She's a very smart player. She's adjusting very well to the speed on the level for a freshman."
Ray, a Hillingdon, England, native,
led Watford to the London Premier
League Cup and Country Cup titles in
1998.
Sophomore defender Pardis Brown was selected Defensive Player of the California-Irvine Tournament following the conclusion of Sunday's game.
At the tournament, Brown played a position that she hadn't played since she was young.
"She adjusted very well," Francis said. "Defensively, we looked much better (last) weekend because of that."
Kansas finished second in the fourteam tournament with a 1-1 record, which evened its season record at 3-3. The Jayhawks will play host to the 2000 KU Credit Union Jayhawk Soccer Classic this weekend in Lawrence.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 12).
Once you clear a few hurdles, you'll be on your way. Use what you're learning, plus what you already know, to attain your goals. You can see what you want, although it may look unachievable, in September. There's plenty of money in October, so hold onto as much as possible.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Something that you thought would work could flat. Errands could take three times longer than usual. Even traffic seems determined to thwart your plans. Relax.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 6.
You're strong, and you have some good people on your side. A lot of temptations are out there, however. Keep your eye on your long-term goal, and keep your pockets buttoned. A deal that looks too good to be true is.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Changes are underway, and some are big. You probably have to explain what's going on, and that may not be easy. You're better at it than most people, though, so take heart.
Travel is not a good idea. You may even have trouble making a long-distance connection. Packages in the mail could be delayed, too. Knowing that, why worry? Stay busy with a household project, and the time will go faster.
A supposed done deal could fall apart. Money that you thought was in the bank may have been gobbled up by finance charges. Go over your notes and check your resources.
If your mate or partner is absolutely nuts and if your boss is completely off base, guess what? You're right, but don't make a big deal of it. If you're nice instead, they'll all realize how much they need you. It's worth a try, any-way.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is a 5.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
Libra (Sent. 23-Oct. 22) — Todav is a 6:
A struggle's still going on between the way you want things to be and the way they are. You don't have to be inhibited by the way others think, but take gravity into effect.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
If you're having trouble reaching an agreement, an arbitrator could help.
You and your adversary may be too emotionally involved to be objective.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
There's enough controversy to make the day interesting. Although you're right in the middle of the action, you may want to keep a low profile. Let others do the talking, and you'll appear wise. That will be the truth, too, if you can do it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5.
Confusion reigns again. Even if you're the boss, you may find it difficult to keep track of changes. You may need a score card to tell the good guys from the bad, too.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
The chances of misunderstandings or errors concerning money are high.
Spending a little extra time now could be a valuable investment.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.
You'll find expressing your thoughts and feelings is easier. Don't let others intimidate you, especially if you don't agree. Your point of view is just as important.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.

Time Warner to distribute music online
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Time Warner Inc.'s music division announced plans yesterday to sell digital music through the Web, becoming the last of the major music labels to jump on the Internet bandwagon.
Warner Music Group said it would offer about 100 songs from artists such as Barenaked Ladies and Manhattan Transfer at the November launch. It plans to expand eventually to 1,000 albums and singles from other major acts such as Madonna and Phil Collins.
In the wake of the success of music-sharing software Napster, Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music have started selling a limited number of tracks as downloads this year. BMG and EMI, the other two of the "big five" record companies, have announced plans to sell music online.
"There's a benefit of going last and learning from the evolving market," said Warner Music representative Will Tannous.
Warner Music will not sell music directly from its Web site, but through online retailers. Wal-Mart said it would sell Warner Music tracks from its Web site next year.
The tracks will be scrambled to prevent copying. The other record companies are using similar technologies but have been unable to unite on a single standard for copy protection. Listeners may have to download different kinds of software to play music from different labels.
Warner Music's scrambling technology will come from Preview Systems Inc., while RealNetworks Inc. will provide the network of computers that will distribute the music.
RealNetworks is the maker of the popular RealPlayer software for Internet music and video. Tannous said Warner Music tracks would be playable on other software as well.
New York-based Time Warner has agreed to be acquired by America Online Inc., the world's largest Internet service provider, pending antitrust approval.

Shifts made to alleviate Hill's illness
By Jason Franhuk sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
It's a three-hour trip from Wichita to Lawrence, but it had to feel like so much more to Harrison Hill when he was thirsty for the whole trip.
He was parched for answers, waiting to be quenched with a solution to the problem that has plagued him for most of his football career.
Hill, a Kansas wide receiver, returned to practice last week after sitting out for most of preseason practice suffering from chronic dehydration. At the time, he tried every way to fix the problem. But even trips to Wichita — his hometown, and where he knew doctors who had helped him through this in high school — and seeing a specialist in Kansas City, Mo., came up as dry as Hill's body was when he was too dehydrated to sweat.
"I knew a lot was going on," Hill said. "I went home and to Kansas City hoping that I could find a solution."
Really, there is no answer. Hill must drink a lot, and he's good for a few intravenous units after practices when the weather is particularly hot. He has tried to make variations in his diet, which now includes vegetables and fruits, instead of just the chicken sandwiches he loves to devour.
Hill groats at the thought of veggies, but it beats being sick. The worst was in high school when he dropped 25 pounds during the days after a came.
"I was throwing up for days," Hill said. "But when it gets that bad, all the days feel the same."
Hill is back now and said he couldn't be happier. His first game back Saturday revives fond memories.
As a redshirt freshman in 1998, Hill made a career-best eight catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns against Alabama-Birmingham. Both scoring plays went for 25 yards in the four-overtime game that eventually Kansas won.
Of course, the game did not go without Hill experiencing dehydration. On the last play of the first half, he had an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown. Immediately, the dizziness set in. So did the fatigue and cramps. Hill had to take an IV unit at halftime, and he missed the first drive of the second half.
"I wasn't feeling too good," Hill said.
"But by the end of that game, everybody was pretty fatigued."

Back at the University, along with returning as a receiver, Kansas coach Terry Allen said Hill will field punts and be the holder on field-goal attempts. The temperature is supposed to cool down for Saturday, but Hill said it didn't matter.
Allen still watches Hill closely.
Allen still watches Hir closely.
"He's been practicing well." Allen said. "Obviously, it's been hot again the past few days, so I've had to keep an eye on him."
Hill's taken plenty of pain before.
His true freshman year, 1997, was hailed when he broke his left ankle.
But anything beats air conditioning,
which is what Hill had to sit in as he listened to Kansas' season-opening loss at Southern Methodist.
"It was killing me," Hill said. "I just wanted to play, to be part of the team."

Club pumped for big season

This fall, Scott Decoursey will find out experience as a player helps in making a good coach.
Decoursey, Belton, Mo., senior, a former member of the men's club volleyball team, will make his coaching debut with the women's club volleyball team this season. He left the men's team to experience the coaching side of the sport and said he should not have much trouble being a player's coach.
"I will help out with technical skills such as passing, hitting and setting," Decoursev said.
This year's squad will feature many fresh faces, but several members from last year's team are returning this season.
Expected to lead this year's young team are club president Erin Scheckells, Aurora, Colo., sophomore; vice president Shana Sisson, Hoisington junior, and treasurer Randi Rose, Independence, Mo., sophomore.
While the team may be young and have few college years under their belt, both Decoursey and Scheckells think the numbers are deceiving.
"A lot of our freshmen who just came out of high school played intense high school volleyball," said Scheckells.
Despite only a year of
intercollegiate club play. Scheckells is an experienced member of the team. After three years of playing for competitive club teams in the Denver area, Scheckells turned down a volleyball scholarship to a Division II school to attend Kansas because the University appealed to her. Even though she has played only one year of club volleyball, Scheckells is one of the team's stronger leaders and said she would like to pass her experiences on to the less-experienced players.
Scheckells is expecting a season where the team will have a healthy balance of intense competition and fun.
"We want to excel as a team and shoot for nationals," she said. "We also want to have fun and become better volleyball players."
Last year's team was a mere 13 players, but this season's opening practice had 45 players attend. Decoursey and the three team leaders formed a second squad.
To help new players gain
experience, the team will be playing in two different leagues this season. They will field an "A" and a "B" squad in the Heart of America League, a league that features companies, groups and other colleges.
The team will also focus on an intercollegiate-only league. National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association.
The club will play host to a six-team tournament Saturday, November 11. Scheckells, who is responsible for inviting other colleges to the event, said she was expecting to see Colorado, Kentucky, Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska universities. The team also is planning on competing in tournaments at Nebraska and Kentucky.
While last year's team did not compete at the NIRSA national competition in Reno, the members would like to attend nationals this year.
In order to place for nationals, the team must compete in five intercollegiate tournaments before the competition.
Several returning members said they were optimistic that this year's season would be better than the last.
"I hope that our team will be more unified this season," Rose said. "Last year we didn't have enough people."

White Sox team worth watching as wins pile up
Good guys wear black, not red and blue. No, I'm not a Missouri fan and I haven't given up on the Jayhawks yet. I'm from the south side of Chicago and I love my White Sox. So by default, I loathe the Cubs.
While most of you probably don't care about Chicago baseball, there are more than 400 students at the University of Kansas from the area. Most are from the northern suburbs — where cell phones run rampant in Wrigleyville and socializing at the game takes precedent over the score.
But as a south-sider, I live and breathe White Sox baseball. When I go to Comiskey Park, it's not to get stock tips on my cell phone — it's to watch first baseman Frank Thomas and the boys nummel the competition.
So I think I deserve some credit for the team's recent glory since I've stuck with them through all the hard times and tried to find a silver lining.
When Old Comiskey Park was torn down, I found high points in the new park — namely, Best Kosher hot dogs and churros. When Jerry Reinsdorf sold away the pitching staff as a part of the 1997 team dismantling, I thought he was turning the Sox into the newest "Baseketball" team — the Chicago Sellouts.
But those pitchers received in the trade — Keith Foulke, Bob Howry, Mike Caruso and Lorenzo Barcelo — have helped pave the way for this season's success. The Sox have a seven and one-half game lead over Cleveland going into yesterday's game against Detroit.
And unlike 1997, the White Sox aren't going to throw this season. This year is an opportunity for the Sox to amaze critics who thought they were a fluke earlier this season.
While the Cubs own the second-worst record in the National League, the Sox have a good chance of sealing up home-field advantage for the playoffs. And with solid pitching from starters James Baldwin and Mike Sirotka, the postseason looks bright for the south side.
Finally.
With six series to go — including a possible American League Championship preview with the New York Yankees — the Sox have a chance to prove their merit and take away the spotlight from Sammy Sosa and the Cubs.
Sosa has 48 home runs and the hot bat again this year, but Thomas is close on his tail with 41 long balls and a team-high 134 RBI. And even though Thomas was shafted in the All-Star selection process, he has completely turned around from his dismal performance last season.
Add Thomas' reversal to a pitching staff that commanded clutch performances against the Indians last weekend, and the White Sox could be carrying a division pennant faster than a north-sider can order Starbucks.
With the Bulls still coping with Michael Jordan's retirement, the Bears being mauled 41-0 by Tampa Bay last weekend and the Blackhawks still learning how to skate, the White Sox are now Chicago's only winning team.
Proof that good guys and winners do wear black.

Shock waves from Knight's firing spread through basketball world
By Michael Rigg
By Michael Rigg
Kansan sportswriter
In Bloomington, Ind. — the epicenter of Knight news — bizarre incidents ranging from a near on-campus riot to players threatening to transfer rocked the Indiana campus.
One day after the firing of Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight, the college basketball world remained shaken.
Monday, the country awakened from a Knightmare.
Knight was fired Sunday by school president Myles Brand for violating the school's zero-tolerance behavior code. The most-publicized violation came when Knight grabbed the arm of Indiana freshman Kent Harvey and allegedly shouted obscenities at the student.
Public reaction started late Sunday night, when a group of an estimated one thousand Indiana students gathered outside the school's basketball arena to protest the coach's firing. While the demonstration was relatively peaceful, campus police arrested 10 students — most for disorderly conduct.
Knight: Calmed infuriated students
Just after midnight, Knight emerged from the building to address the students. "In the next couple of days, I'm going to get together everywhere with as many students who want to come out, and I'm going to tell you my side of this thing," Knight said.
The specifics of Knight's meeting with Indiana students weren't known yesterday evening.
The crowd slowly dispersed after Knight's short speech. A burned effigy of Harvey and a banner that screamed, "Burn in hell. Brand." remained
Yesterday's action around campus mirrored the controlled chaos of the night before. Junior guard Dane Fife announced his intentions to transfer from Indiana, and Hoosier assistant coach Mike Davis also said his future at the school was doubtful.
Knight, meanwhile, met with his players and let it be known that he plans on coaching again.
again. "He's going to be our friend now instead of our coach," said Indiana forward Jarrad Odle. "He told us he's going to coach again. There's no doubt in my mind. He's one of the best coaches in the nation and for him not to move on to another school would be a shame."
Meanwhile, in Lawrence, Kansas coach Roy Williams took time out of his recruiting schedule to weigh in with his opinion of Knight's firing.
In Iowa, athletics officials called a press conference for this morning to address Hawkeye coach Steve Alford's future at the school. Alford is considered the prime candidate to replace Knight.
"it's a tragic way for a great coaching career to end, and it's a very sad day for
me personally," Williams said in a written statement. "Bobby Knight is a great coach and teacher, and his teaching wasn't just to his players."
Williams also mentioned the impact Knight had on his career.
Knight had on his career.
"I've learned a great deal from him and,
yes, I do believe that imitation is a great
tribute to someone," Williams said. "He
has been a mentor to me and a true friend.
I hope we have not seen the final stage of
his brilliant career."
Steve Lambert, Shawnwe senior, disreed with Williams.

Senate wants say in Coke contract
ay Kursen Phels
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff write
Student Senate is trying to give students a voice in how much their Coke costs.
Student Senate will vote tonight on a petition requesting student representation on
the kU/Coca-Cola Partnership Council to help monitor the University's contract with Coke.
The petition follows a price hike at campus Coke machines from 85 cents to $1.
The function of the council is to monitor the contract between the University of Kansas and Coca-Cola, said David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs and chairman of the council.
Ambler said Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger — neither of whom are on
More information
The administration explains why Coke is cheaper with a smart card.
See page 3A.
"People know Coke obviously has a contract with the University, but I don't think many people know how that goes on as far as who does what and how decisions are made," said Marlon Marshall, student vice president.
I — neither of whom are on the council but ultimately have a say in the decisions made — decided the council's members should be those directly involved with Coke's presence on campus.
Marshall said students should be represented.
Ambler said that although the partnership council approved any Coke price increases on campus, the group spent most of its time monitoring sales figures and the servicing of Coke machines.
Although no students are on the partnership council, students are on the council's two subcommittees.
Ambler said when the contract was adopted and the partnership council formed three years ago, the subcommittees were considered the proper place for student involvement.
"It was felt that the more important place for students to be involved was with the allocation of royalties used to support programs, and that's where the subcommittees come in and where student input was most needed and valued." Ambler said.

said that although student
representation on the sub-
committees was important,
so was representation on the
council itself.
"While it is a great thing that students are on the subcommittees, we should be
on the partnership council as well." Marshall said. "I'm not asking for 100 percent representation, but some is necessary because a lot of the money that goes into those machines is from students."

Renters say Jefferson Commons gouges
Students say complex charges excessive fees and denies deposits
By J.D. McKee
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Several KU students say Jefferson Commons unreasonably took their security deposits and ordered them to pay additional fees for unneeded cleanings and repairs.
Nick Johnson, Olathe senior, said he was surprised to learn that he had lost his entire security deposit.
"When you pay a deposit, you expect to get part of it back," Johnson said.
Instead of receiving a check, Johnson and his roommates got a letter telling them they had lost their deposits and owed more money to pay for cleaning and repainting.
Nonetheless, Johnson and his roommates were charged by Jefferson Commons for carpet cleaning services.
The security deposit at Jefferson Commons, located on 31st Street behind SuperTarget, is $275, but some students only paid $175 as a move in special.
"We cleaned up," Johnson said. "We even had the carpet professionally done by Stanley Steeamer."
"I guess they didn't even look at the carpet," Johnson said. "They just assumed
everything was dirty."
Ryan Davis, Overland Park senior, lived in the building next to Johnson. He said he lost his security deposit and was hit with the charges similar to Johnson's. He also said he was charged $100 for a couple of holes from a shelf on his bedroom wall, which he said he repudiated himself.
"I figured the cost of cleaning would be built into the rent," said Davis.
"They're expecting us to pay blindly without any support behind their numbers," Davis said.
built into the rent, said Davis.
He said everyone he knew who rented there last year lost their security deposits.
Both Johnson and Davis said the letters had no details.
manager for property management within the student housing division of of JPI, which owns Jefferson Commons, said four separate letters had been sent out throughout the residency with itemized charges, move out instructions, what to clean and how to do it.

"I'm sure competitors don't charge as much because they're not as worn." Horn said. "We want it to be nice for the next person moving in. The units take a pretty hard beating with all the students.
we don't try to make money. We just want to recoup what we have to spend."
Johnson and Davis said they would defer paying until they received more detail about the damage to their apartments.

Gay Christians to find a place in local faith community
By Leita Schultes
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writer
Whether Jewish or Muslim, Christian or atheist, many people have a hard time understanding how faith and homosexuality can co-exist.
But at 7 p.m. tomorrow, the first meeting of Affirming Communities Together in Faith will teach that the two lifestyles are important and inseparable.
"A lot of queer Christians are in the closet," said Heather Hensarling, United Methodist campus minister. "A lot of that is because of the fear factor, and that is completely understandable. The church has hurt a lot of people on this campus."
Hensarling said she hoped Thursday's meeting, which will invite people of all faiths from the queer community and its straight allies, could begin healing that hurt.
But others — including some members of the clergy — disagree.
Taylor is a co-author of Gay Rights or Wrongs: A Christian's Guide to Homosexual Issues in Ministry, and he used scripture passages to back up his opinion.
"The act of homosexuality is a sin," said Rev. James Taylor of Lawrence Heights Christian Church, comparing it to lying or adultery — temptations he said should be repressed.
Hensarling and Gary Bartholomew, an openly gay senior from Franklindale, Penn., will conduct the meeting, which is designed to meet the spiritual needs of the queer community.
ACT in Faith is a campus extension of an idea that started several years ago in the Lawrence community, Hensarling said.
You know, that's radical when you think about it," she said. "I can't reconcile that with a gospel that would call two people loving each other sinful just because they're the same sex."
She said the United Methodist Church, as a "reconciling congregation," was a natural choice to organize the group.
Hensarling, who does not view homosexuality as sinful, said that at his most basic level Jesus represented love.
Such is the response Hensarling and Bartholomew expect. Only a fine line separates the "sin" from the individual, they said.
Taylor countered.
"God is certainly love," he said. "We can hate the sin, and love the individual."
"It depends upon how you interpret the Bible." Bartholomew tells people who oppose homosexuality. "I have friends who are pretty conservative Christians. They don't believe it's OK to be gay, but we're still friends."
Hensarling said homosexuals of faith could contribute to the church.
"We have something to learn about true reconciliation and true love, and we can learn that from a marginalized community." Hensarsling said.
The meeting will be in the Kansas Union. For more information, including the room number, call Heather Henslarling at 841-8661 or e-mail Gary Bartholomew at garyb@ukans.edu.

Scholarship established in memory of student
The family of Raymond J. "Jerome" Horton II has established a memorial scholarship in his name through the KU School of Engineering.
Horton was a fourth-year student at the University when he committed suicide in 1997. He suffered from clinical depression.
In memory of their oldest son, Betty and Raymond Horton have established the Jerome Horton Foundation to increase suicide awareness and prevention education as well as to award scholarships. The foundation gave $10,000 to the Kansas University Endowment Association to fund the Jerome Horton Engineering Scholarship for KU undergraduate minority students of engineering.
"The Horton family faced a tragic event in a brave and generous way," said Carl E. Locke Jr., dean of engineering. "These funds will allow the School of Engineering to help minority engineering students for years to come. We are very grateful to them and touched by their thoughtfulness."

Student awaits court's decision in MIP case
The case that hinges on whether looking young is reason enough for police to detain someone went before the Kansas Supreme Court yesterday. The case of the State of Kansas v. David L. Pritchett stems from an Aug. 27, 1999, party at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house in which Pritchett, a
Wichita junior who was then 19, was detained by an ABC officer for refusing to show identification when asked
The case was originally dismissed by District Judge Paula Martin because she believed the officer did not have a reasonable suspicion to detain and search Pritchett.
Assistant District Attorney Angela Wilson argued in the hearing that the district court had disregarded material facts important to the case.
Sally Kelsey, Pritchett's attorney,
said that there was no reasonable
suspicion in the case and that
Pritchett had every right to refuse to
answer the officer's questions.
The court is expected to have a decision between one and three months from now.

AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. George W. Bush is often criticized for his hands-off approach to state executions, but state law leaves little room for governors to act in these life-and-death decisions.
Bush opponents criticize death-penalty decisions
Supporters say Bush, the Republican presidential nominee, allows the 18-member Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to do its job freely by maintaining an arm's-length relationship.
"The governor leaves it up to each parole board member to make their own decisions after they review the case. they're an independent body," said Bush spokesman Mike Jones.
Others contend that Bush does direct the board through his public statements on executions and his power to appoint members to their six-year, $80,000-per-year jobs.
Proposed amendment would limit China trade
WASHINGTON — Supporters of legislation to permanently normalize trade with China girded for a key vote on linking trade relations to China's obeying weapons proliferation agreements.

The amendment is opposed by both the administration and Senate backers of the trade bill, who argue that unilateral sanctions don't work and that approval of any amendment could effectively scuttle chances for passage this year.

Dinosaur mounting almost complete
THE KHK BLL

Annabelle's bones are slowly coming back together.
Scientists have worked daily for more than a year to mount Annabelle — one of the most complete longneck dinosaurs ever found — on the fifth floor of the Museum of Natural History and expect to finish this semester.
When she was alive, Annabelle stood 12 feet tall and was 50 feet long. But the lack of space is forcing builders to put the bones together in a crouching position to fit in the space provided — a hallway about 25 feet long with an 8-foot-6 inch ceiling.
An excavation team from the University of Kansas discovered the skeleton in Wyoming during summer 1997. The team included Craig Sundell, a graduate student in paleontology, and T.J. Meehan, a former graduate student in paleontology. After two years of excavation, the team has recovered four longneck dinosaurs, called camarasaurus.
The excavators named Annabelle after the ranch owner's wife.
Larry Martin, head of vertebrate paleontology at the museum, said that the team discovered Annabelle in the crouching position she will be displayed in.
"It is believed that she was bogged down by mud and starved to death in the position that we found her," Martin said.
Sundell remembers when the excavation team uncovered the skeleton.
"When we found Annabelle, we just started at the tail and worked our way up, and all I kept saying was, 'They're
lining up, they're lining up."
Although most of the bones in the exhibit will be real, the bones in the skull, neck and ribs will be plaster casts of the original bones. Those bones' weight makes them difficult to display.
After Annabelle is finished, Martin said the team will prepare the bones of a baby camaraasaur, another of the four
found in Wyoming. Annabelle is unofficially scheduled to be finished around Thanksgiving.
Although the process of excavation and construction has been taking place since 1997, the team is making record time.
"Normally, from discovery to exhibit takes six years: three to excavate and three to set up the display." Martin said.
"We're doing it all in three."
Sundell said he thought the excavation team might even get special recognition for the speed of its find.
"We may get in the Guinness Book of World Records for collecting the largest longneck dinosaur in only six weeks," he said.

Kansas water rules need revision, EPA says
Proposed standards to be discussed tonight in Topeka
By Matt Merkel-Hass writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The EPA has proposed revised standards for the state to meet minimum requirements.
The state of Kansas is not doing enough to protect its water quality and has standards inconsistent with the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency says.
A public hearing on the proposed standards will take place at 6:30 tonight in the Kansas History Museum Annex, 6425 W. Sixth St., in Topeka.
The EPA was forced to examine Kansas' water quality standards after the Sierra Club of Kansas and the Kansas Natural Resource Council brought suit against the EPA, alleging that that the EPA had
not enforced the Clean Water Act. The EPA settled by proposing new standards for the state.
At issue are ponds on private lands, effluent flow from wastewater treatment facilities and more than 1,400 streams and lakes, which are subject to lower pollution control standards because they are classified as secondary use or for wading and fishing only. Primary use is classified as waters used for complete immersion or swimming.
Dale Armstrong, a representative for EPA Region Seven in Kansas City, Kan., said that the state had generally done a good job of water quality standards but that a few weren't compliant.
"The Clean Water Act assumes all waters should be acceptable for primary use." Armstrong said.
Under the proposed standards, the state would have to provide evidence of why a stream or lake was classified as secondary use, Armstrong said.
Sharon Watson, public information director with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said
forcing the KDHE to test the streams and lakes would unnecessarily tax the resources of the department, forcing cutbacks in other areas.
"We believe the standards we have in place now are adequate and safe," she said. "Money will be diverted to address issues that we don't think need to be addressed."
Another proposed change would be more stringent controls on the discharge of effluents into streams or rivers, which would primarily affect wastewater treatment plants. Watson said the KDHE estimated 385 municipalities would be affected, including Baldwin City, DeSoto and LeCompton.
She said that many cities had already upgraded their facilities but that it was difficult for smaller communities to upgrade theirs.
Armstrong said the BPA estimated the changes would cost the state of Kansas about $2 million annually.
Another change that has been hotly contested is applying water quality standards to all private land. Current state law does not allow the state to go on private property to regulate
water quality. Armstrong said some had construed the standard as the EPA going after farm ponds, but it was a provision in case a water quality issue arose on any private land.
"The fear that we're going to be out there violating people rights is not true," he said. "We feel the Clean Water Act requires states to be able to regulate private reservoirs for drinking water or lakes in subdivisions."
Charles Benjamin, attorney for the Kansas Sierra Club and adjunct professor of environmental studies, said the goal of the new standards was to eventually have better water quality.
"All of these things should have been done years ago," he said. "Part of the frustration is the Clean Water Act has never been fully implemented in Kansas."
Benjamin said that it was important to stop the pollution where it was occurring rather than shifting it downstream.
"It would force the internalization of costs so naturally the polluters are opposed," he said.

New Coke price with smart card is slight discount
ay Karen Lucas
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas promotes the use of the smart cards at campus Coca-Cola vending machines primarily to ensure more efficient and safer money handling as well as give students and staff a price break, administrators say.
"We don't want a lot of cash handling on campus," said Theresa Klinkenberg, University director of administration. "It's safer to have the cash in as few locations on campus."
Since Aug. 1, customers have been paying $1 in cash for a 20-ounce bottle, while those who use smart cards continue to pay the old price of 85 cents. The price of a 12-ounce can still costs 60 cents - with cash or a smart card.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost for support services, agreed. He said the use of the card would reduce the amount of cash handling by those who service the machines for Coca-Cola adn would help cut down vandalism and theft.
Klinkenberg said the smart card also made it possible to offer Coca-Cola products at a lower price.
"We wanted a way to hold the price if we could," she said. "This was a good compromise. The cash price goes up, but the card price stays the same."
Although Katy Haas, Overland Park senior, said she understood why the University wanted to encourage the use of the card, she didn't think the price difference was fair.
"If you're not using a smart card, you shouldn't have to pay more," she said. "It's a penalty to those not using their smart cards." The decision to raise the cash price was made last summer by a partnership council of representatives from the administration, Coca-Cola and Treat America, a company that services vending machines. The University, which made an exclusive vending agreement with Coca-Cola three years ago, receives a 55 percent commission on the sales price, Klinkenberg said.
In an earlier Kansan article, Toney Anaya, public affairs director for the Mid-America Division of Coca-Cola Enterprises in Albuquerque, N.M., said the new cash price was consistent with that of most other vendors in the area. In Lawrence, prices hover around $1, whether the beverages are purchased in a vending machine or in a store.
A 20-ounce soft drink is $1 and a 12-ounce can is 55 cents in campus vending machines at Kansas State University, which began a contract with Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co., of Marysville last January. Although customers must pay the same price for a bottle whether they use cash or their debit cards, Tom Schellhardt, associate vice president for administration and finance at Kansas State, said offering the cardholders a lower price was an option worth considering.
"We would want to consider that promotion of the debit card once we have a significant number of machines with debit card technology," Schellhardt said.

Editorial board: Student Housing should reconsider policy
Rule violates rights of housing residents
The University of Kansas Department of Student Housing started enforcing a new policy this spring that encroaches upon the First Amendment.
The new policy prohibits the use of alcoholic beverage containers inside any university housing facility, even if for decorative purposes only. Resident assistants who catch their residents with any type of container - empty or otherwise - in their rooms must discard it immediately.
The rule has been altered from previous years. The University of Kansas has a dry campus, so students who reside in student housing have been forbidden to consume alcohol on campus for years. Not allowing residents to have empty alcohol bottles in their rooms prevents misconceptions about whether the alcohol was drained from the empty bottles on University property.
It is understandable that the department is looking out for the RAs by trying to avoid possible confusion and trying to control the drinking habits of the inhabitants, but it is a violation of the students' First Amendment rights to place a constraint on the way they can decorate their own rooms.
Liquor bottles are common in rooms in the residence halls, and students should be allowed to display anything they feel is appropriate in their rooms as long as it does not offend any of the other occupants. It is a matter of expression, and as students learn every day in the liberal arts environment at the University, there is no better time than now, during college, to learn how to express themselves in any way they choose.
Students pay the University so they can live on-campus. They should be able to have any sort of decor they choose for their rooms as long as they don't damage the facilities.
Dissenting: Empty-container policy supports campus rules
The housing policy was once that students, if caught drinking in their rooms by an RA, would be forced to dispose of the alcohol and the students would face the consequences stated in the
handbook of the Department of Student Housing, including possible fines or expulsion from student housing. Those procedures are sufficient. Restricting students' right to free expression is a step in the wrong direction. The University should reconsider its policy restricting empty alcohol bottles in student housing.
Container ban serves student body
Since the University of Kansas wants to preserve the ideal of a dry campus, the policy restricting empty alcohol containers is a sensible extension in meeting its goals.
According to campus policy and federal law, alcohol possession and consumption by minors are illegal
Some students are concerned that their freedom of expression is being stifed. However, expression through empty containers is inextricably linked with prohibited behavior.
The new policy will only help the enforcement of a dry campus by restricting the use of actual alcohol containers.
this decision is founded on the Department of Student Housing's right to assume that residents are drinking from such containers.
Although this assump-
Katie Hackett for the editorial board
Although this assumption is generally well-founded, exceptions should be made for those who genuinely use wine bottles to express their creativity. The department has recognized this, as students can apply for special permits for such collections.
For instance, having a bottle of Chianti decorated with different colored dripped wax is an expression of your creativity. A pyramid of empty vodka handles only expresses a desire to get drunk.
Yes, students have the freedom to decorate. But on a practical level, are alcohol containers a positive expression of who we really are?
As students learn to express themselves in the University environment, it is wise to discourage students from portraying themselves negatively through empty liquor bottles. They are linked with drunkenness, which obviously is self-destructive.
Under the former policy, if an RA walked past an open residence hall room and noticed empty beer bottles "decorating" the floor from the previous night's "art project," the RA would technically have no power to enforce the policy.
People desire to portray their best qualities and interests to others. Such containers in no way resemble good character or legal behavior.
The new alcohol policy grants housing staff the power to discipline such obvious infractions.
Even if students' empty containers were consumed off-campus, they still represent illegal consumption for the majority of housing residents.
It isn't that much of a sacrifice to dispose Captain Morgan and Jose Cuervo bottles into a trash bin rather than immortalize them in a window sill.
Either the University should abolish the dry campus policy, or student housing residents should comply and respect with the new policy.
There is no denying the link between empty containers and alcohol consumption.
RAs have no alternative but to infer that empty-bottle-toting residents are guilty of consuming on campus grounds and to punish accordingly.
Tim Lang, dissenting
Readers deserve balance between good and bad
If no news is good news, than all news must be bad news, right? Not necessarily, but some readers think the Kansan must see it that way. I've heard some of you say that we put too much of a focus on negative news and bury more positive stories within the paper.
Take Monday's front page, for example. Two of the top stories dealt with sexual misconduct, one at one of the University's residence halls and another among student
athletes. Inside were more positive stories about a weekend community-service project and supporters of the Green Party.
Planning of the paper isn't arbitrary. We meet every afternoon the day before we publish to analyze what we have and where it should go in the paper.

expanding the experience, students could know they don't need to fear this person being in their residence, said Kristi Elliott, managing editor. The story's safety tips also told students how to avoid a similar situation.
By publicizing potential sources of harm to students, such as sexual assault in residence halls and among student athletes, the Kansan aims to minimize harm, said Chris Borniger, managing editor.
"That's one of the instances where we act as a check on the University," Borniger said.
Some forms of media have attempted to downplay "bad news" in response to readers' and viewers' concerns. One Texas television station, Austin's ABC affiliate. KVUE-TV, experimented with reporting crimes only if the incident met certain criteria, including posing a present threat to public safety. The viewers' response resulted in higher ratings.
When Bob Woodward, one of the reporters who uncovered Wategate, attended my reporting class last year, a student asked his opinion of burying negative news. He said that journalists had a responsibility to present reality as closely as possible. When we ignore negative events and people, we're getting further and further away from reality, he said.
By running prominent articles about campus crime and allegedly discriminatory practices in Lawrence (the story about Jack Flanigans), I hope the Kansan has educated you about a reality you may not otherwise have noticed.
Police found a suspect in the sexual battery case at Hashinger Hall. The owner of Jack Flannigans changed his dress code policy to be less discriminatory against African-Americans. I'd like to think the Kansan played a role in both of these issues.
But we're listening, too. You said you wanted to read more about positive issues, such as community service and issues of faith. As well as negative stories, the front page also has featured stories about students living in a faith-centered community and a group dedicated to making international students feel at home.
In the end, it comes down to balance. To provide an accurate account, we must address negative issues, but we should make an effort to include the good as well.
Hiding bad news doesn't make it go away, and ignoring good news doesn't gain readership. Doing either just takes us further away from reality.

Letter to the editor Masculinity needs to be de-emphasized
This is in relation to Andrew Marino's column, "Masculinity not a disease to be cured," (Friday) and Monday's letter the editor.
For those men out there who seem to think that masculinity and hypermasculinity are things to be cherished, let me ask you a few questions. When was the last time you were
physically, emotionally or verbally abused by a woman? Have you been sexually harrassed, sexually abused, sexually assaulted or raped by a woman? Were you or your father the victims of domestic violence at the hands of your mother? Has a woman ever robbed, assaulted or committed a violent crime against you? I'm not saying that women are never the perpetrators of these crimes, but statistically men are the majority of the abusers, the beaters, the sexual

Program could deliver Star, USA Today free to students
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Thanks to a pilot newspaper-readership program in the works, students will be able to pick up other free newspapers besides The University Daily Kansan next spring.
Representatives from USA Today, the Laurence Journal-World and The Kansas City Star met yesterday morning with Ben Walker, student body president; David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs; Ann Eversole, interim dean of students; and Ken Stoner, director of student housing, to discuss a program that would distribute free copies of the newspapers at certain locations next semester.
Walker said the details of the program weren't finalized, but a four-week test program would probably be initiated in the spring. The group will meet again in a month to make concrete decisions about the program.
"We'll make it available in various locations — probably a residence hall, a scholarship hall, a fraternity and sorority and a few high-traffic places on campus," Walker said. "We'll gauge student interest and then go from there to kind of design

a more campus-wide program. But all of this is still in the preliminary stages."
Walker said the newspapers agreed to participate in the program, as well as pay for the initial pilot program. Funding for a long-term program has not been determined yet.
"We're discussing different options, but it's really too early to know that yet." Walker said. "The newspaper companies are willing to do it fairly cheaply because they're interested in promoting the academic side of their newspaper and establish a base of readers."
Eversole said she thought convenient access to newspapers would be a benefit to students.
"The newspaper representa
tives gave a very passionate argument that this would help students in the classroom and help incorporate reading newspapers into their daily lifestyle," Eversole said. "It's hard to argue that it wouldn't be a benefit to students."
Tommy Miles, Clinton, Mo., senior, said he would take advantage of the free newspapers, but still would read the Kansan.
"The Kansan has student issues in it, and the Star and national papers won't," Miles said.
Tom Eblen, general manager of the Kansan, said he wasn't worried about a negative impact on Kansan readership.
"Anything that gives students the opportunity to read more from a good sources is a wonderful addition if students take advantage of it," Eblen said. "I don't think any of those newspapers cover what the Kansan does, so if any students want to know what goes on on campus, they would still have have to read the Kansan."
Jessica Smith, Minden, Neb., freshman, said she probably wouldn't take advantage of free newspapers on campus.
"I haven't really picked up a lot of newspapers," Smith said. "I usually don't time."
Student Senate will meet at 6:30 p.m.
today at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union, items on the agenda, which is subject to change,
include:

Acne can last into adulthood
Stress, not chocolate triggers breakouts
By Melissa Davis writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Just because high school is finished, KU students shouldn't think acne can't come back to haunt them.
Michael Haag, dermatologist at Lawrence Dermatology, 346 Maine St., said some people might experience acne into their 20s or 30s.
Haag said acne was caused by hair follicles and oil glands responding abnormally to hormones or puberty.
"When a person has too much oil, their pores get clogged, which can result in acne," he said.

Late-night pizza binges and chocolate won't trigger acne because the long-time myth about chocolate and fast food affecting skin was not accurate. Haag said.
*Studies have never really shown that digit has anything to
Factors that contribute to breakouts are stress, and for women, hormonal changes during their premenstrual times.
Haag suggested using a soap-free acne cleanser to keep faces acne free. Haag also encourages people to use their fingertips, rather than exfoliating sponges, and to use lukewarm water to clean their faces and to avoid over-scrubbing.
Haag said some other factors could contribute to acne including heredity, gender or puberty. He said that because of testosterone, men were more likely to get acne than women.
Although some are tempted to pick at their faces once a breakout occurs, it can lead to a face full of scars. Scarring occurs when a pimple is squeezed so hard the skin is ruptured, Haag said. If you squeeze your pimples until they bleed, it could result in scarring. People who think they are in the clear from scars could be mistaken — scars can take up to six months to appear. Haag said.
Haag said that acne could get

Democrats smell 'rats' in GOP ad
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A GOP commercial that flashes the word "RATS" is coming off the air amid allegations that Republicans were trying to send a subliminal message about Al Gore.
George W. Bush said the notion was bizarre, and his campaign denied a conspiracy, but Gore's campaign and experts in political advertising said the word choice was not an accident.
"I've never seen anything like it," the vice president said Tuesday in Middletown, Ohio. Bush noted that the word appears for only a fraction of a second. Played at full speed, it is barely noticeable, particularly if the viewer isn't looking for the word.
"One frame out of 900 hardly in

"I am convinced this is not intentional. You don't need to play, you know, cute politics."
The ad says that senior citizens will have more control of their health care under Bush's proposal.
Words flash on the screen
100
Bush: Said accusations of conspiracy were not true
to echo the announcer's message:
"The Gore prescription plan:
Bureaucrats decide."
As the announcer says "bureaucrats," the word "RATS" flashes across the screen.
Alex Castellanos, who made the ad for the Republican National Committee, said that he flashed the letters to make the ad more visually interesting and that "rats" was a coincidence.
Outside analysts said they found it hard to believe the word was not deliberately placed.
"The word ' rats' is so carefully superimposed. It's not like it just randomly appears on the screen," said Darrell West, an expert on political advertising at Brown University.
Bush made it clear he did not endorse subliminal messages. The term itself gave him trouble all day, repeatedly coming out as "subliminable."
Karen Hughes, Bush's communi
"One frame out of 900 hardly in my judgment makes a conspiracy. I am convinced this is not intentional. You don't need to play, you know, cute politics." George W. Bush Republican presidential nominee
cations director, said the word "wit" also flashes by during the phrase, "Interferes with doctors."
"I can assure you that we are not spending Republican ad money to call Al Gore a wit," she said.
California grants reward good grades
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Nani Escudero is a part-time worker and a full-time student. Without financial aid, she said, she wouldn't be able to concentrate on her studies.
Now she, and hundreds of others who attend California's colleges, can look forward to dipping into the nation's biggest state scholarship program.
California is promising to spend at least $1.2 billion a year
to cover college tuition for all low- and middle-income students with at least a C average
Under legislation signed Monday by Gov. Gray Davis, all California students whose grades are high enough and incomes are low enough can get a Cal-Grant scholarship, starting with the 2001-02 academic year.
The expansion is made possible largely by a boom-time state surplus and a push by lawmakers and Californians to improve
public education, particularly for low-income students.

House to decide fate of Boy Scout charter
The Associated Press
The legislation was another challenge to the long-standing relationship between the Boy Scouts and the federal government rising out of the group's stance on excluding homosexuals. A vote on the bill, expected to be easily defeated, was likely to take place Wednesday.
WASHINGTON — A small group of House lawmakers, charging that the Boy Scouts' policy toward gays was a badge of intolerance, moved Tuesday to repeal the organization's federal charter.
The bill's chief sponsor, Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., said she was a Girl Scout and one of her sons was a Boy Scout.
"We're not saying the Boy Scouts are bad; we're saying that intolerance is bad," she said in introducing the measure earlier this summer.
Republicans were quick to condemn the bill and its Democratic supporters.
"I scheduled this bill to demonstrate the lack of support for those who have declared open season on the Boy Scouts," said House Majority Leader Dick Army, R-Texas.
The Boy Scouts of America got its federal charter in 1916, six years after it was founded. It is
one of about 90 groups with such designation, an honorary title given to patriotic, charitable and education organizations.
While it confers no specific benefits, receiving a federal charter is a mark of prestige and national recognition for a group. Among other groups with federal charters are the American Legion and Future Farmers of America.
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision in June, upheld the Boy Scouts' ban on gays serving as troop leaders. That ruling may also give legal backing to the 6.2 million-member organization's rejection of gay youths as members.
The Scouts asserted that homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the values it seeks to instill.
The high court sided with the group's First Amendment rights to "expressive association." But President Clinton, five days before the ruling, issued an executive order barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in federally conducted education and training programs.
After the June Supreme Court ruling, Clinton said he was generally against discrimination against gays. But he refused to criticize the Scouts or the court's ruling.
"The Boy Scouts still are — they're a great group," he said. "They do a lot of good."

Male flag twirler sets unique path in KU Color Guard
One of a kind
By Meghan Bainum
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer

When Galen Steber walks onto the football field, people notice.
His head is held high, and his flag waves in the wind as spectators ask: Is that a guy?
Yes, there is a male member of the color guard. And he is extremely happy to be on the field, twirling his flag.
Who is that guy?
Though male color guard members aren't unheard of, they are definitely not as common as female flag twirlers. And Stoeber, as the only male color guard member, is definitely one of a kind at the University of Kansas.
When he came to the University as a freshman last year, Stoeber, a Garden City native, thought he wanted to be a member of the Marching Jayhawks percussion line, perhaps playing the bass drum.
But he had always loved to dance and twirl flags.
Before percussion tryouts,
Stoeber mustered the courage to ask the leader of the section whether a male was allowed on the color guard. She sent him to Randy Timm, the instructor and coordinator for the color guard.
Timm accepted Stoeber on the spot.
"Really kind of different"
Though Stoeber was excited about the prospect of joining the color guard, at first he kept his involvement with the group a secret from his parents.
"I didn't really know what they would think about it," Stoeber said.
When he finally told his parents of his decision to drop band and join the color guard, they were supportive but concerned.
worried about what everyone would think," Stoeber said.
Georgia Stoeber, Galen's mother, said that she was happy that her son loved being on the color guard but was upset he was teased for his decision to be different and unique.
"We thought he would be more accepted at a big campus university, and that hasn't been the case," she said.
Stoebe said that although some people made rude comments about the fact that he was gay and that he was in the color guard, he brushed them off.
"When that happens, we just keep walking by," he said. "It's really sad that people are still harassing people for differences."
His membership in color guard would not be that unusual at other schools. Stoebe said that there were even some all-male flag and drum groups.
"It's a new thing to the University but not to the drum corps world," he said.
Color guard captain Whitney Little, Liberal senior, agreed and said that she was used to performing in color guard with men.
"It's common for guys to be in color guard," she said. "It just hasn't happened at KU since we've been."
Stoeber's first hurdle was being accepted by the women of the KU Color Guard.
"It was really kind of different because they probably had never been on a line with a guy before, and it was new to them." Stoeber said.
Now, he said that he felt like the big brother of the 16-member group. As a returning
bophomore, he was able to
teach the ropes to incoming
freshmen.
Unfortunately, this group of freshmen was — as usual — all female.
Stoeber said he put extra pressure on himself to flawlessly execute the complicated combinations of dancing and flag twirling required in performances.
"Everyone is probably going to be looking at this guy, seeing how good he is and seeing if he messes up," Stoeber said.
A natural performer
Performing comes naturally to Stoeber, also has experience in figure skating, ballet and band.
He said that his sisters who were also in color guard taught him basic flag moves when he was younger. By the time he entered high school, he would watch tapes of the band and color guard and learn flag moves by mimicking the tape.
"He kind of likes to be the center of attention." she said.
Georgia Stoeber said her son always had good balance and took quickly to both baton and flag twirling.
An awesome opportunity
By the time he got to KU,
Galen Stoeber knew how to twirl and dance — but never actually held had held a real flag.
"Usually I always had these poles with tissue paper on the them that I would make to look like the high school's flags," he said.
As an official member of the KU Color Guard, Stoeber quickly became used to having a flag in his hand. And just as quickly, he fell in love with the dancing, twirling and performing offered by the color guard.
Whitney Little said that Stoeber was always enthusiastic.
All the practice is sometimes necessary.
"He's always working hard to make sure that he knows the routine, and he's eager to learn new stuff," she said.
Stoeber and other members of the squad must not only march and twirl to the beat of the KU Band's marching music; they must avoid dropping the flag or hitting anybody else with the 6-foot flag. This year, they will have to learn about 15 different routines. This makes practicing four days a week a necessity.
But even with practice, embarrassing moments do happen.
Stoeber blushed while remembering the time he forgot the ending of a new routine. While holding silver flags, the rest of the guard went one way, and Galen went the other.
"I probably said a few words, and then I tried to correct it and fit back in," Stoeber said. "But with these big silver flags, it had to be obvious."
Embarrassing moments aside, Stoeber said he looked forward to the rest of his career in the group.
"They gave me this awesome opportunity just to do it," he said. "So I am going to do it as long as I am a student."
Whenever Stoeber talks about KU Color Guard, his eyes light up and excitement enters his voice. Stoeber said he hoped to be captain of the squad, but now it was enough to just be allowed to dance and twirl a flag.
"I love it," he said. "I am so happy that I finally can do color guard." $ ^{11} $

Suite owners are last hope for alcohol at Memorial
It is with great honor that I write to you today. I understand that you are a busy person and that, for you, time is money. For me, time is college loan debt, but I digress. I will try not to waste too much of your time. I ask you please to hear me out.
This is my final semester at the University of Kansas. I've had a great time. There is something, however, I have yet to do at the University that I've always wanted to do: enjoy an ice-cold beer during a Kansas home football game.
Dear Scholarship Suite Owner.
As you know, students aren't allowed to have beer in the stands. The powers that be have deemed us unworthy of our beloved Budweiser. Other fans aren't allowed to have beer either. But you, the upper echelon of fan, the one with the large bankroll, are allowed to imbibe a cold one.
I totally understand the reasoning, mind you. If I were allowed to have a beer in Memorial Stadium and not be in a scholarship suite, well, the results would be disastrous. Before the Jayhawks would even have a chance to go three and out, I'm sure that after consuming one beer, I would fall from the top of Memorial Stadium to my death. I'd be the only fan wearing crimson from head to toe.

But you see, by sitting in a scholarship suite. you gain knowledge.
Knowledge is power, my friend. By sitting in the scholarship suite, you gain the knowledge of how to drink an alcoholic beverage and not fall to your death from the top of Memorial Stadium. It's true, it's true.
English goalie scores with 'Hawks
Sir or madam, it is this said power that I desire. Such power I'm sure would be, for lack of a better word, intoxicating.
Please understand by directing this letter only to you, O wise and powerful scholarship box owner, that I alienate virtually all my readership. But I'm sure that they understand. To take company with one of the aristocracy of the University of Kansas will help the masses by giving us a connection with someone who will hook us up. And after all, you wouldn't get in trouble, because in the scholarship suites, the only law is that of the scholarship suite owners.
The final thing I can offer is the promise to write about you fine people in a future sports column. It would be an enlightening piece for my readers. I can see it now: "A View from Above, by Seth Jones." Or maybe, "First down means drink!" Wait, I got it! "Beer: Making Kansas Football Fun Again."
I can provide Dennis Miller-like unfunny commentary to the game. For a laugh, I'll bring a sign that asks "Got beer?" and I'll wave it madly at the peons below.
Have your people call my people.

Representing her home country England, sophomore goalkeeper Layla Young was between the posts during the second half of the friendly game against France Aug. 15 in Paris.
With about 60,000 fans watching, she was nervous yet excited. It was her first appearance in an international soccer match between full national teams.
"It was just so much noise," she said. "I couldn't hear myself."
Young said people would shout and boo, which was different from the 50 to 100 people who attended Kansas soccer games.
Although France scored a goal in the first half and beat England 1-0, Young kept a clean sheet in one half of action.
"I enjoyed it," the 5-foot-8-inch goalie said. "It was great experience."
Young began her soccer career at a young age.
She was born Jan. 21, 1979, in London, and played a variety of sports during her childhood. But since the age of eight or nine, she has concentrated on her favorite sport: Soccer.
"I am always the best on the team in most positions." she said.
But meeting the position of a goalkeeper was probably her fate. When she played on a team that didn't have a goalkeeper, she tasted the amazing characteristics of the position. She has been a goalie since then.
"I definitely like being a goalkeeper," she said. "In most games, I can actually make a difference on the team."
She joined the club team Brighton in England when she was 14 and repeatedly earned the Player-of-the-Year award. But
the Crawley, England, native always wanted to come to the United States.
"In England, it's more of a men's game than a women's game, whereas in America, it's more a women's game because women won the World Cup," she said.
Young said that English female soccer players worked and played, while in America they played and trained.
she could be a great influence on the team.
Then she met Kansas coach Mark Francis. Trying to recruit the talented goalie, the coach, a native of London himself, told Young that if she came to Kansas,
she could be a great influence on his career. Intrigued by Francis' enthusiasm, she visited the University and fell in love with what she called a really nice atmosphere. She joined the Jayhawks this year and has begun to grow accustomed to the American style of play.
"In England, they work more on technique and how to play the game, but in America they work more on fitness, more emphasis on like force game than technical game," she said. "It's fun. It's just learning how different players play and different
The new 'Hawk said she wanted to continue her soccer career as a professional or a coach in the United States. She said she would like to play in the country as much as possible.
For the English goalie, the journey to Kansas is not the ending; it's just the beginning.
Francis said that Young's strengths as a goalkeeper were her communication skills with the defenders, good reflexes and experience.
countries play."
As a Jayhawk. Young has started all six games this season, making 33 saves and allowing 12 goals with one shutout.
Her goal this year — like many other girls in the team — is making the Big 12 Conference Tournament for the first time in the program's history.
"She does a very good job organizing the defense," he said. "And she wants to win very badly. I think that is good."
The coach also gives the vocal 'keeper a little homework with great expectation of her potential.
"I think there are some areas about the game that need to improve for her to step up to the next level," he said. "But I think she has the potential to do that."
Young also wants to be selected for the national team to go to the European Championships next year.
Young got a minor injury during the second game this season against Illinois, and she said that she struggled with the sore back then.
After that?
"But other than that, I've been OK," she said. "I've played quite well. I get into the game now more than I did the beginning."

Volleyball to begin league play tonight
By Sarah Warren

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team knows that starting today, every dig, every block and every kill means just that much more.
That's because at 7 tonight, the Jayhawks will open their Big 12 Conference play against Colorado in the Horeisi Family Athletic Center.
The 'Hawks are 0-9 so far, tying Kansas record for most consecutive wins to begin a season. However, the team is 1-3 in Big 12 openers since the formation of the conference and 0-2 in openers at home with losses to Nebraska in 1997 and Texas in 1999.
And to stack the odds, the Buffaloes have a preseason pick for sixth place in the conference compared with the Jayhawks' preseason ranking of eighth place — a drop from their seventh place finish last season.
Colorado is 3-3 on the season after losing to two teams ranked in the top 15.
"They're young but extremely talented, said coach Ray Bechard. "They had one of the best recruiting classes in the nation last year. They've been an NCAA Tournament team for a number of years now, and I'm sure that's their goal this year as well."
“It’s going to take a great team effort (to stay undefeated),” Bechard said. “It’s kind of a whole new situation for everybody. It’ll be a great challenge for us.”
However, Bechard said coming away with a win against the Buffs was definitely not impossible.
Beachard would like his 'Hawks to focus on a few things tonight to beat the
"It's exciting that we have come together as a team, and that's exactly what we need to do well in the Conference."
Nancy Bell senior outside hitter
Buffaloes.
"Our blocking needs a little help, but at this time of year it's probably pretty typical." Bechard said. "They've got a nice combination of size and foot speed, which will be a factor in that."
To make blocking and other defensive measures more effective, Bechard said that his team's offense needs to mesh well and flow fluidly.
"We'll have to make sure we feel comfortable in our roles," Bechard said. "And we need to get our offense moving around a bit."
Senior outside hitter Nancy Bell, who received Most Valuable Player honors last weekend at the Jayhawk Classic, said she thought her team was capable of downing the Buffaloes.
"I think we have a lot of people on the team that are very intense," Bell said. "It's exciting that we have come together as a team, and that's exactly what we need to do well in Conference."
Nebraska, 7-0, took the No.1 spot in the USA Today/AVCA Coaches Top 25 poll on Monday for the first time since 1958.

Garcia works hard to prove he can survive on football team
By Jason Franchuk sports@kanson.com Kanson sportswriter
You look to your right and see the Survivor cast playing some game. Robinson Crusoe is around here somewhere.
Imagine that you're on a remote island.
So now, who is that guy, kicking ball after ball through the goal post as his father, Jose, holds for him? That's Joe Garcia, the Kansas kicker. Welcome to the island
Hi. Gilligan.
everything hinges on a Saturday's performance and you can't rely on anyone but yourself. Monday through Friday are nothing to kickers because they often have only one or two shots per Saturday game to prove themselves.
The isolated island of kicker where
Joe Garcia wants to prove himself this year.
"I really want to have a good year," Garcia said. "I think I've done everything possible to make this a good year for me so I can help the team."
The itinerary of any kicker, like Garcia, can look simple. Often, sitting in the crowd at a game, people will scoff that they would love an
opportunity to play college football — on scholarship, at that — when the sole job is to kick a football.
Garcia's practices are pretty easy. Often he stands — or sits — around as the rest of the players scurry in the heat. Sometimes Garcia and his good friend, punter Joey Pelfanio, have a few moments to laugh as everyone else seems to suffer.
But Garcia practiced a lot this summer. For hours a day, he would lift weights or kick a football. Jose was a big help. He would hold the ball for Joe, then help shag the balls so that Joe would not have to spend all his time fetching balls that sailed past
"I didn't try to teach him or anything." Jose said. "He's a lot better kicker than I ever was. Really, I was just out there to keep him company. Kicking is so psychological, I was out there to try and make him laugh and keep his mind off it."
Jose is no stranger to islands. In 1962, he left Cuba for Miami when he was six years old. Jose was lucky. Fidel Castro had taken control of the isle, but he was still allowing people to leave.
the goal post. Joe could spend more time honing his skill.
Imagine leaving your homeland.
Thinking about that, kicking is suddenly no big deal. Jose tried to instil that in his son's head — enjoy yourself, have fun. Work hard. The rest will take care of itself.
"Sometimes when you're 20 or 21, you sometimes don't understand that," Jose said.
The media and the fans have been just as naive. Garcia took a good chunk of the blame when last season turned into another disappointment, and the statistics don't lie. Garcia was seven-for-18 on field goal attempts last year. He missed half (four of eight)

Chinese leave athletes for failing drug tests

Six of the banned athletes were runners trained by famed coach Ma Junren. Huixian said that Junren was responsible for the failed tests of his runners.

Dean Smith endorses ban on college betting in Nevada
WASHINGTON — Dean Smith, college basketball's career victory leader, sought another win yesterday by endorsing an effort in Congress to outlaw gambling on collegiate sports.
"We're talking about something that can taint young people," said Smith, who retired in 1997 after 36 seasons and 879 victory at the University of North Carolina.
He said he was not troubled by the fact that the legislation would affect only Nevada, the one state where betting on college sports is legal.
"It can't hurt anybody in Vegas," he said. "Casinos can still take (bets on) the pro games. It isn't like they aren't making enough money."
Lawmakers who support the betting ban brought Smith to Capitol Hill in hopes of gaining some end-ofsession momentum for legislation in both chambers.
The Senate Commerce Committee approved the ban in April, but it has not come up for a vote on the floor. The House Judiciary Committee will consider the legislation tomorrow.
Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., said he has been assured by Majority Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi that the bill's supporters will get a chance this year to muster 60 votes to break a certain filibuster by Nevada's senators.
Sen. Richard Bryan, D-Nev., warned gambling advocates in his state recently that the ban would likely pass by a veto-proof majority if it gets to a vote on the floor.
A sponsor of the bill in the House, Rep. Lindsey Graham, R.S.C., said he is certain at least 300 of the 435 representatives would support it.
Kentucky basketball coach Tubby Smith and South Carolina football coach Lou Holtz testified during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in June that players are under pressure to lose games or shave points from a victory margin.
Smith is one of several high-profile college coaches enlisted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, a major force behind the bill.
Defenders of Nevada's sports-betting industry say 99 percent of gambling on college sports occurs illegally on college campuses
The Nevada gambling industry took in $2.3 billion in sports wagers in fiscal 1999, with 30 percent to 40 percent bet on college sports.
A 1929 law signed by President George Bush banned sports wagering in 47 states. Nevada got an exemption, as did Oregon, which allows betting on pro football through a lottery, and Delaware, which has not adopted sports betting despite a 1976 public vote approving it.
rather than legally in Nevada casinos. The legislation, they say, would harm Nevada without making a dent in a national problem.
New Jersey was given one year to decide whether to sanction sports betting but never held a referendum.
Proponents, including Smith, say a ban would have national repercussions because it would encourage newspapers to stop printing point spreads for college games.
The Newspaper Association of America disagrees. It predicts newspapers will continue to print point spreads because they appeared to be useful to readers who have no intention of betting on games.

Garcia keeps emphasis on future

Kansas senior kicker Joe Garcia has worked hard this summer to regain the form he displayed in 1998. Last year, Garcia only made 38.9 percent of his field-goal attempts. Photo courtesy of KU Sports Information
Continued from page 1B
of his attempts from within 30 yards, and another half (three of six) from within 40. His longest successful try last year was from a paltry 38 yards. Combined with four blocked kicks and two missed extra points, his percentage was 38.9.
Make it, and you're hailed. Miss, and you're a bum.
Kickers walk a tight line between great and awful.
world, Jose said. He's got a great work ethic.
Garcia needed that nose-to-the-grindstone attitude just to salvage the starting job. Garcia came to Kansas as a promising 1997 freshman from Olathe North High School, where he lost only two games in his career. As a freshman at Kansas he hit 11 of 14 field goals, including a 51-yarder in a win against Oklahoma. He missed five kicks in 1998 before last season.
"I don't know what happened last year," Garcia said. "I just hope it doesn't happen again this year."
Last year, people booed Garcia. Coach Terry Allen sometimes was reluctant to try for three points and would instead try for another first down. But Garcia's failures were never a major factor in a Kansas loss. Kansas' average loss was by 27.7 points. In the lone defeat in single digits, to Nebraska 24-17, Garcia made only one extra point attempt.
All the summer nights he went home sore from all the kicking paid off. Tyrrell, a true talent, will have his chance. But for now he has been red-shirted. Garcia still rules the island.
Garcia, with his dad, has done everything to ensure it will not. He stuck around last summer and kicked and kicked and kicked. He then hit the gym to bulk up, get stronger and rehabilitate his right foot. He had surgery on his foot after he experienced constant numbness in it, sometimes for hours at a time. He practiced just as he did when he was a kid in Florida when he would kick over the family's two-story house.
Kansas coach Terry Allen put pressure on Garcia this year. No longer was the kicker from Olathe going to coast through preseason drills. He was given some competition. Chris Tyrrell, a newcomer from Liberty, Mo., was considered a possibility. Tyrrell brought a nice list of achievements to the team, including an ability to kick and punt. Allen was clear that if Garcia could not get the job done, he would look elsewhere.
"Physically, he has all the potential in the world." Jose said. "He's got a great work ethic."
And he has been left to focus on this year. Unlike last year when all the failures weighed on him until he crumpled, Garcia vows to forgive and forget. If he misses a kick, so be it.
"My dad kept telling me all summer, just worry about the next one," Garcia said. "That's
what I'm trying to do. If I make it or miss it, it doesn't matter. It's the next one I have to focus on."
"I'ts very tough, and not like all the other positions," Jose said. "A kicker only gets one shot."
So far this season, Garcia has been perfect. He made both his extra-point attempts and a short field goal in Kansas' season-opening loss at Southern Methodist. But Garcia doesn't care about his success if the team is losing.
"He's worked so hard this year," Jose said. "I told him if he did, then that was it. Now he'll let the chips fall where they may."
This summer, with the help of his father, Joe Garcia showed that he deserves to be on the island. The key to survival, it appears, is to not be alone.

Free State to play on Memorial's new turf
By Jason Franchu
Kansan sportswriter
sports.kansan.com
Fans who want to see the new turf in actual game situations can go to Memorial Stadium Friday night.
No, Kansas' home opener has not been moved up — it's still against Alabama-Birmingham at 6 p.m. Saturday — but the field will be christened by Free State High School's first home football game. "That's fine," said Kansas coach Terry Allen. "It's good for them. We've been on it quite a bit."
Associate Athletics Director Richard Konzem said the game had been in the works for a while. Originally the Jayhawks were supposed to play UAB last Saturday, meaning they would have opened the field. Kansas changed its schedule because UAB scheduled another game last week, but kept its deal with Free State, the Lawrence high school that opened in 1997.
With two city high schools, usually one plays, an away game while the other plays at Haskell Stadium. But Lawrence High already had Haskell reserved for Friday, and Free State was supposed to play a Thursday night game there.
"All of this came about before we had the new field." Konzem said.
Kansas will play its first real game Saturday on the new AstroPlay turf, which is artificial but has a grass-like texture. The Jayhawks have practiced on it numerous times and have heralded the benefits of the softer surface.
Konzem said he hadn't heard any complaints.
As to allowing Free State the first official game on the new surface,
"But I'm sure some of their people are upset because now they have to choose which game to go to." Konzem said.
Konzem said Kansas and Free State's booster club will split duties of the concession stands and ticket taking. Free State will be responsible for cleanup afterward and there will be limits on where fans can sit, mainly on both sides within the end zones.
The Jayhawks charged approximately $3,000, but Konzem said priceless opportunities would arise because the game was on the KU campus.
said. "Not just for the athletic department, but for the whole campus."
"Whenever we can host events to get people on our campus it's a great recruiting tool," Konzem
Memorial Stadium also will hold a high school state championship game later this year. Konzem said Free State was estimating that 8,000 fans would attend Friday's game. Briefly...
Kansas suffered some injuries yesterday in practice. Offensive guard Jason Stevenson and tight end Jason Gulley each sat out because of illness, but Allen said he expected both to be available Saturday.

Also, freshman Travis Watkins broke his thumb Monday in practice. However, Allen said the plan was to redshirt the Derby native even before the injury.

Kansas players confident in WNBA
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Four years ago, professional women's basketball took off in the United States.
The popularity of the sport was at its peak, largely because of the success of the United States gold-medal-winning women's basketball team at the 1986 Olympics in Atlanta.
"That team was marked like no other in the history of women's sports," said Kansas assistant coach Lynette Woodard.
Woodard was a four-time All American at Kansas from 1978-81 and played professional basketball in Europe after her college career.
The demand for women's basketball spawned two rival leagues, the American Basketball League, which played during the winter, and the Women's National Basketball Association, which played during the summer.
The leagues co-existed for two seasons, but in the third season something had to give — and it did.
The ABL filed for federal bankruptcy protection in December of 1998. After the ABL collapse, there was only one league in the United States for female college players to continue basketball careers.
If one league called it quits within the first three years, it would be natural to assume that there would
be concern with the stability of the second league .

However, the attitude of members of the Kansas women's basketball program towards the WNBA is one of extreme confidence.
"When both the leagues came out, I wasn't sure that both of them would be able to be productive and survive," said senior forward Brooke Reves. "But when the WNBA came out, they came out really strong."
Former Kansas forward Lynn Pride is trying to make a name for herself as a member of the WNBA's Portland fire. She is one of four former Kansas players in the WNBA. Kansan file photo
Kansas coach Marian Washington said that she also believed the WNBA had a bright future but that there was room for improvement.
Washington recommended moving the start of the WNBA season to overlap with the NBA playoff; then the women would be in top basketball form when it came time to be in the spotlight.
Woodard echoed Washington's thoughts and took them one step further.
The WNBA has lasted four years, nearly twice the lifespan of the ABL, and Washington said there was no reason the league should not survive if it continued to market its product well.
"As long as the WNBA has the NBA as that big brother to lean on to keep the marketing going, then we'll have a shot at making it last," she said.
Not only has the WNBA survived two years longer than the ABL, it has prospered with the help of the NBA. Since the beginning of the eight-team league in
1996, the WNBA has expanded each season. Today, there are 16 teams in the league.
The growth spurt of the WNBA has seniors and freshmen thinking alike.
"If the opportunity was there, I would definitely jump on it," Reves said. "I want to live out that dream if it happens."

If Meguc entered the WNBA, it would give her the chance to play fall and winter basketball in Europe, possibly with her sister in Cyprus.

Soccer player is dressed, ready for gold
The Associated Press
MELBOURNE, Australia — With her own flair for show biz, Brandi Chastain is spending this year's Olympics on both sides of the camera.
Chastain walked onto the field with a camcorder in her right hand and a regular pocket camera in her left yesterday as the U.S. women's Olympic soccer team got its first look at the hallowed turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, site of tomorrow's first-round game against Norway.
The day before, Chastain brought the same camcorder to an interview and instructed the two journalists to identify themselves on tape before the proceedings could begin.
"You get to ask the questions all
the time," she said, squinting into the viewfinder. "It would be nice for you guys to answer some."
Not that Chastain minds getting asked the questions. A year after she stripped off her jersey to celebrate the winning penalty kick in the World Cup final, she has proven to be a natural in the spotlight, befitting someone whose nickname is "Hollywood."
"There's no problem for me to meet people and smile and enjoy myself," Chastain said. "I think sports has given me that. It's given me the confidence, the bravado."
When the soccer team visited the U.S. women's basketball team's locker room after a weekend exhibition game, the players did their own version of the Brandi Salute
stripping off their jerseys and
twirling them over their heads.
When the soccer players walk the streets of Melbourne and explain which sport they play, locals frequently ask which player is famous for removing her shirt.
"People ask me, 'Aren't you sick of it?' I say, 'Well, if it means that people are thinking about soccer ...'" Chastain said. "The message wasn't taking off the jersey. The important part was what happened during the game. In the past it was usually me preaching about the game, and now it's people asking me about it."
Overnight stardom has been known to ruin lives. But it suits Chastain perfectly, whether she's throwing out the first pitch at a New York Yankees game or poking up at herself in a "What's up with the shirt?" commercial with
Kevin Garnett.
"Other than her bank account changing, she's the same as she was," said defender Kate Sobroero. "That's Brandi. Everything you think she is, she is."
Chastain is always clear on one point: She maintains that her jersey removal was a spontaneous celebration and wasn't planned either to promote herself or as part a deal with Nike, which made the black sports bra she wore underneath.
Men and women routinely lift or take off their jerseys to celebrate goals, and there was no way to predict that the final against China would go to a penalty shootout and that Chastain would have the last kick.
"There was no conjuring this whole plan beforehand," she said.

Cross country wins invitational title

HAMPTON 14
When asked about the recent performances of freshmen runners Laura Lavoie and Lauren Brownrigg, the first reaction from assistant cross country coach Doug Clark was to take a deep breath and smile.
Lavole and Brownrigg finished first and third respectively last weekend in the Bob Timmons Invitational and led the Kansas women's cross country team to the Bob Timmons Invitational team title.
Clark recalled the excitement that he shared with head coach Stanley Redwine late in the summer when Lavole and Brownrigg signed to attend Kansas.
"We couldn't believe that we got them in the small time frame from when we were hired to when they signed," Clark said. "They didn't sign until July, and to end up getting two runners like Laura and Lauren, we felt very fortunate."
Although Laviole and Brownrigl have become close this season, they took very separate paths on their ways to becoming Javahaws.
Lavole, a Springfield, Mo., native did not begin running organized cross country until her senior year
of high school and before that actually ran the 200 meters and 400 meters in track. With the encouragement of her track coach, Lavio ran the 800 meters near the end of her junior year and converted from sprinting to distance running right then.
"I look back, and I think it's funny because I really was not that good of a sprucer." Lavie said. "I wasn't even planning on running in college until my senior year, so I'm still pretty not to everything."
Lavie was initially looking at a number of schools, but Redwine
and Clark's move from the University of Tulsa to Kansas pretty much sealed her fate.
"They were recruiting me when they were at Tulsa." Lavoie said. "A part of me coming to Kansas was the coaching staff. They concentrate on each individual and what they need."
Brownrigg, unlike Lavoie, has been familiar with cross country since her grade school days and said that it was her sixth grade elementary teacher who first made her interested in the sport.
Brownrigg came to Lawrence
from Tualatin, Oregon, but that doesn't mean she's foreign to Jayhawk tradition. Brownrigg said that she grew up in Kansas, has family in Kansas, and has longed to be a Jayhawk since she was young.
"Rooting for Kansas was just one of the things I was brought up with," Brownrigg said. "I was that little girl wearing the red and blue Kansas shirts as a kid. I'm proud of Kansas' traditions, and going here was always in the picture."
Contributing to the team and running to the best of its abilities are goals that the freshman class established before the season even began, according to Brownrigg.
"I remember going to dinner with Laura and Paige (Higgins) one of the first nights. we got here," Brownrigg said. "We discussed what we wanted to do for the team. As freshman we want to try to come in and eventually make this a traditional place again."
Clark thought that not just Laviole and Brownrigg, but all of the freshmen have made an immediate impact early on this season.
"Any time that your top four out of six runners are freshmen, that bodes very well for the future," Clark said. "They showed a lot of maturity on Saturday for being freshmen."
Both the men's and women's cross country teams will travel to Ames, Iowa, for the Iowa State Open meet this Saturday.

Strawberry faces house arrest for violation
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Suspended Yankees star Darryl Strawberry was sentenced to two years' house arrest yesterday after admitting he violated probation by driving under the influence of medication and by leaving the scene of an accident.
"I used the wrong judgment, taking medication because I didn't feel well," he told the court. "I just blacked out. I didn't know if I hurt anybody. I feel
Strawberry, who is fighting the spread of colon cancer, apologized during a brief hearing before Judge Florence Foster for causing a Monday morning traffic accident. He said he blacked out from his medication while heading to a meeting with his probation officer.
really bad about that."
Strawberry was released from jail yesterday, slipping out a side door to avoid crowds.
Foster was the judge who placed the suspended eight-time All-Star on probation

Strawberry
last year in a drug and solicitation case. Prosecutors requested house arrest, although Strawberry could have been sent to prison.
Assistant State Attorney Robin Fusion said that Strawberry will still have to face the misdemeanor
charges from Monday's accident driving under the influence and leaving the scene of the accident as separate crimes that could bring additional punishment.
House arrest means the 38-year-old outfielder leaves home only to go to a doctor's office or for work. Should he attempt to rejoin a major league baseball team, he would need court permission. Fuson said.
Outside court, Strawberry's wife, Charisse, said her husband, who had surgery last month, was in a lot of pain because of the cancer and having a kidney removed. He also has some mental difficulties, she said, but did not elaborate.
He will undergo regular drug testing and the Florida Department of Corrections will make surprise
checks on a daily basis to make sure Strawberry is at home.
"Two years of house arrest is no day at the beach." Fuson said.
Strawberry must also pay a $265 fine and his case will be reviewed again in four months.
Strawberry spent Monday night in jail after an off-duty Hillborough County sheriff's deputy saw the player hit a road sign, turn onto a street and rear-end a sports utility vehicle stopped at a red light.
After he admitted to the two charges, state prosecutors recommended and the judge agreed that he be sentenced to two years of "community control."

Knight blames misinterpretation for firing from Indiana University
By Michael Rigg sports@kanson.com Kansas sportwriter
demise entailed.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — For the first time since his firing, former Indiana coach Bob Knight sat down for an interview with a member of the media — the same day his former assistant coach, Mike Davis, was hired to temporarily fill Knight's post.
The lengthy interview took place last night live on ESPN with Jeremy Schaap at Four Winds Resort outside of Bloomington, Ind. In the interview, Knight responded to the long list of incidents that led to his firing — and denied every one.
Knight talked adamantly about how he didn't violate the university's chain of command, how he didn't verbally abuse a female school lawyer, and how he never received a clear answer about what the zerotolerance policy that led to his
Knight said his firing was because of a simple lack of communication.
"What we're talking about here is interpretation," he said. "The communication has not been very good."
Knight did talk about regrets he has had for the past few days, such as not leaving Indiana when the zero-tolerance policy was handed down in May.
"Maybe I was dumb," he said, "in retrospect, that's the thing I should have done. But I have an obligation to these players."
Christopher Simpson, vice president for public affairs at Indiana and one of the people Knight said he did not get along with, did not refute specific aspects of Knight's interview.
1 see nothing productive at this juncture to get into a 'he said, she said,' Simpson said. "The decision was made on Sunday, and the pres-
ment or the university explained those reasons, and I think it's time to move on."
As for Knight, he's ready to move on as well.
Davis — who used to play for the now-defunct Topeka Sizzlers of the Continental Basketball Association — has not had any head coaching experience.
"I want to coach again in the worst way," Knight said. "I think I have a lot of years left to coach, and that's what I want to do."
"I didn't want to be known as the guy who walked away from Indiana University and had the players walk away with him," Davis said.
Mission accomplished — all 12 players on the Hoosier roster will return to play for Davis next season. Among the returnees is forward Dane Fife, who announced he is reneging his previous decision to transfer.

Indiana students express loyalty
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — As I stood at center court inside Assembly Hall yesterday afternoon, my stomach began to churn and my mind raced.
Sports Columnist
I gazed around the mammoth-sized fieldhouse. High above my head in the south, rafters hung the three national championship banners earned since 1972. I turned my head and eyed the sidelines.
I could almost see Bob Knight, the legendary Hoosier General, storming up and down the sidelines, cursing referees, encouraging his players, calling out the offense. In my mind I could see chairs fly across the court, courtesy of a mighty Knight heave.

Then reality set in. I would never see him march the sidelines or deliver answers to the media that would make parents cover their children's ears ever again — at least not at Indiana.
Witnessing the fallout of this coaching legend caused me to
I honestly couldn't believe he had been fired. I understand why, but being in Bloomington, the heart of Hoosierville, the firing just didn't seem like a reality.

reflect on our situation in Lawrence. It's hard to believe that just two months ago we had been through this.
Fortunately, the result was different. Coach Williams stayed. Here in Indiana, Knight never had the chance. He was fired while out of town on a fishing trip in Canada.
Suddenly it became crystal clear to me why students ransacked the campus, tore down tree limbs, lit fires and protested in support of Knight.
He has always been loyal to Indiana and those students were expressing their loyalty — while in an improper manner — to Knight. Davis was doing the same by
accepting the job. His players also followed suit when they backed down on their charge to transfer.
Following his press conference, I watched Knight's interview on ESPN with some semi-somber members of the Indiana cheerleaders squad, who are also loyal supporters of Knight. As Knight spoke they looked on with interest, nodding their heads in agreement with his denials of violating the "zero tolerance policy" and chuckling as Knight argued with Jeremy Schaap about who had interrupted whom. One girl leaned over to me and laughing, said, "Same ol' Coach. He's always been like that."
I wandered across the Indiana campus yesterday evening. The night was calm and students were largely subdued. One girl, reading a book outside the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority house, sat underneath a "Thanks Coach" banner. That made me think of Lawrence, and of how our posters were able to make a difference in our coach staying. Not in Indiana though.

Big Benefits Coming for Kansas Long Distance Consumers
The recent decision by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to let Southwestern Bell compete for long-distance telephone service in Texas forecasts Texas-sized benefits for Kansas.
Here's how: Currently, Southwestern Bell can't offer long-distance for calls outside of your area code until we can prove to regulators that our local telephone markets are open to competitors. Here in Kansas, they are. In fact, we currently have competitors in more than 95% of the local exchanges we serve.
1256
Debbie Vignatelli
Right now, the Kansas Corporation Commission is considering our application and we are working to gain their endorsement by the end of the month. Our chances are improving all the time: August 21, the staff of the Kansas Corporation Commission recommended approval. The FCC has the final word, so once the KCC takes action in late September, we'll take our application to Washington.
With the FCC's permission, the big benefits will begin. When we're allowed to enter into Kansas' long-distance market, Kansans will see simple, no-gimmicks long-distance service.
It's already happening down in Texas. For instance, Southwestern Bell Texas is now offering basic residential long-distance service for 9 cents a minute with no monthly fee. The No-Nonsense Flat Rate plan is one rate for all calls, anytime, in-state or out-of-state, with no monthly fee.
Southwestern Bell Kansas plans to have similar, easy-to-understand long-distance plans — as well as one-stop shopping for all communications and entertainment services — available to our customers.
Here's the bottom line for us: Southwestern Bell Kansas has been providing Kansans with dependable, affordable local telephone service for more than 115 years. We're ready to do the same for long-distance by giving our customers one-stop shopping, competitive rates and top-quality service.
Today, Texans are enjoying more choices and better value - and so will Kansans once Southwestern Bell Kansas is allowed to compete for long-distance.

Taiwanese TV finds success with romance
I KNOW, I WAS
HERE YESTERDAY.
OOO. YEAH.
GO, AREN'T YOU
APRAID YOU'll--
BE VULNERABLE TO
THE GUYS HERE?
MEN DON'T COME
ON TO ME, LUCY.
NECK, I COULD GET UP ON THIS CHAIR AND SCREAM, 'I'M AVAILABLE!'
AND NOT A SIMPLE GUY
WOULD COME OVER!
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwanese television is filled with fast-paced, racy dramas such as To Be a Witch, a popular Japanese series about a high school teacher who sleeps with one of her students, runs away with him and nearly dies while carrying his baby.
The Associated Press
But if this is what viewers really want, then a recently aired old-fashioned love story about courtship and slow-brewing love should have flopped. Instead, April Rhansady was a big hit, and surprised even its makers.
Other prime-time programing includes bawdy variety shows with scantily-dressed pop singers, American action movies and sitcoms.
"Nowadays, people fall in love quickly and break up quickly," said Wu Yun-yu, an April Rhapsody fan and a senior at the elite National Taiwan University. "Maybe love runs deeper when it flows slowly like water in a stream."
Many viewers said the series, set in the 1920s, spoke to their craving for Chinese traditions of romance that have been lost in the chatter of e-mail or cell phones and swallowed up by Westernized dating practices of the one-night-stand variety.
Executives at Taiwan's Public Television Service said they made the series because they wanted to introduce their viewers to literature. They never dreamed it would attract a big audience.
The drama is about the tragic life of the brilliant Chinese poet Hsu Chih-mo. He reluctantly accepted an arranged marriage in China, but fell in love with a Chinese art student, Lin Hui-yin, while studying at Cambridge University. He woes her in simple ways, holding her hand, reciting poetry and taking long strolls with her.
The 20-episode show became a hot topic on Internet chat rooms and has been repeated several times on public television.
Hsu divorces his wife. But the poet never marries his lover because her mother won't allow her to marry a divorced man. Eventually, the 36-year-old writer dies in a plane crash.

Chiefs aim to energize discouraged loyalists
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — While getting ready to play host to the 0-2 San Diego Chargers, the 0-2 Kansas City Chiefs got a bit of good news.
Pro Bowler James Hasty, the mainstay of an inexperienced secondary and possibly their most valuable defensive player, did not injure his toe as badly as first thought.
Hasty was on the sidelines Sunday when the Indianapolis Colts came back in the fourth quarter and scored in overtime to beat the Chiefs 17-14.
"James Hasty's injury is
"James Hasty's injury is not as critical as we thought," said coach Gunther Cunningham. "He should be OK, hopefully by Wednesday."
Cunningham continued defending a youthful team that ranks near the bottom of
CHEST
the league in total defense and offense.
"There are many positive signs," he said. "The young players are starting to arrive. They're getting better week by week. And the veterans that we signed are starting to understand our assignment plays. I think it's just a matter of time before we put the kind of football team on the field that we want to put on there, and I'm sure all our fans are looking forward to seeing."
Nevertheless, there also are signs that Chiefs fans, among the most loyal in the league, have
become restless. The typical sellout crowd of nearly 80,000 in Arrowhead Stadium shocked coaches and players at the home opener against Indianapolis by booing Kansas City's third play from offense.
It's not what the Chiefs expect from a fan base that has led the league in home attendance for six straight years while being treated to 63 home victories in the '90s.
"They have a right to do whatever they want." Cunningham said. "The frustration we can't get it done better than we did. That's our most important charge, to worry about ourselves and give them a good game and treat them with the respect they deserve."
A major problem in losses of 27-14 to the Colts and 17-14 to the Titans has been a lack of offensive punch. The Chiefs have only scored three offensive touchdowns, and one of those followed Hasty's interception and long runback on Sunday.
Ontensively, it's a matter of getting timing down with some of the new people in there. And Arrowhead does play a factor because fans here are unbelievable. There's no place like it," Cunningham said.
"We need to give them a couple of good games and get them back being the type of fans we like and the type of team they like."
but Cunningham insists Arrowhead has not lost its aura.
"It's just a matter of us getting on the winning track and letting them know we're building a good football team here," he said.
Stan 'The Man' Musial inducted into state's hall of fame yesterday
Cardinals coach honored in Missouri
The Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — St. Louis Cardinals' Hall of Famer Stan "The Man" Musial yesterday joined former President Harry Truman, cartoonist Walt Disney and broadcaster Walter Crankle as a member of the Hall of Famous Missourians
A bust of the baseball star was unveiled following a spirited rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" by Musial during a Capitol Rotunda ceremony attended by more than 300 well-wishers, politicians and state workers.
"I am proud to be honored by my people from St. Louis and Missouri," said Musial, who met Truman, Disney and Cronkite during his career with the Cardinals.
Musial said he wanted his bust to be a source of inspiration to those who saw it.
"Sports gives us an opportunity for a great way of life, and I was glad to become a big-league ballplayer because it was a dream," he said.
Musial, who retired in 1963 after 22
years with the Cardinals, is the first sports figure and only the second living person to be inducted into the hall, where 22 well-known Missourians have been honored since 1982. Cronkite was inducted last year.
Musial's Missouri connection dates to 1941, when he played briefly for the Springfield Cardinals in the old Western Association before moving that same year to the malora.
Musial, 79, who still lives in the St. Louis area, bused in about 150 friends for the event. Also on hand was former Cardinals great Lou Brock.
"He was my idol," Brock said during the ceremony where Cardinals' broadcaster Jack Buck was host.
Longtime teammate and roommate Red Schoendienst joked that he knew Musial better than anyone after their years on the road together.
"They don't call him Stan "The Man" for nothing." Schoen迪恩斯 said. "He wears No. 6 on his uniform, but he's No. 1 in my heart."
Musial, who played outfield and first base, was named to 24 All-Star teams, received three Most Valuable Player awards, hit 475 home runs and had 3,630 hits. He finished his career with a lifetime

batting average of .331.
The Donora, Pa., native also served as general manager of the Cardinals in 1967, the year the team beat the Boston Red Sox in the World Series.
Gov. Mel Carnahan said Missouri was happy to claim Musial as its own.
"Stan was everything a baseball player should be, then and now," Carnahan said.
Musial was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.
Dewey Carlstom, a fan of Musial's who was celebrating his 50th birthday yesterday, showed up in a Cardinals ball cap and t-shirt to honor him.
The Hall of Famous Missourians is overseen by House Speaker Steve Gaw, D-Moberly, and Funded through private donations. The bust was sculpted by William J. Williams of Lafayette, N.Y., who has created all of the sculptures in the hall.
"He's meant the world to me since I was 7 years old and saw my first baseball game," Carlstrom said.

University aims to hire more minority faculty
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
WWW.KANSAN.COM
Provost David Shulenburger is looking to the University of Kansas' academic departments for clues about how to increase minority faculty recruitment.
The University hired eight AsianAmerican, three African-American and one Native-American faculty member for this fall, Shulenburger said. No Hispanic faculty members were hired.
"Those numbers are roughly in line with where we've been in the past," Shulenburger said. "Every year we're keeping to the keep of minority
faculty increasing."
Mica Rosales, Olathe senior, said she thought there weren't enough minority faculty members on campus.
"Throughout my four years here, I've seen the University bose lots of good teachers who knew their subject matter extremely well because they're immersed in it," Rosales said. "That helps a lot because it gives you almost a first-hand experience, which is the next best thing to actually seeing Native-American or Hispanic culture yourself."
See RECRUITING on page 3A
As part of the effort to increase minority faculty, Shulenburger issued a survey that examines last year's recruiting procedures, especially concerning what the
Department chairs and directors that conducted faculty searches last year were asked to break down their searches into three categories. The first outlines the number of underutilized minority applicants who were recommended for a campus visit. The survey also asks whether a position was offered to the candidates, as well as the reasons any minority candidates did not accept offers.
University calls "underutilized" groups African Americans, Native Americans and Hispanic Americans.
The second category designates minority candidates who were not invited to visit

Lawrence selected in ID-check program
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Lawrence bars and restaurants soon may know if their employees are checking IDs correctly.
The Kansas Licensed Beverage Association was awarded a grant by the Century Council of Washington, D.C., to participate in the ID-monitoring program, which will be free for participating businesses.
Rita Madl, president of the KLBA, said the program would involve younglooking 21-year-olds who would enter bars and restaurants and try to purchase alcohol. If they are carded, the employee who cards them will be given a green card and some sort of prize, such as movie tickets. If they are not carded, the employee will be given a red card notifying them that they broke the law, and the owner of the business will be notified. Each month, the owners will be given a report of how many green cards and red cards were issued. All results of the program will be private.
"The spirit of this is to help us be better operators and let us know in a short time if someone isn't doing their job." Madl said.
Monty Shanks, owner of G. Willikers Deli and Bar, 733 Massachusetts St., said he was going to participate in the program. He also pays private shoppers to visit his establishment and check for alcohol compliance and check out how the place is running.
"Naturally, when the owner of the place is there, things are going to run different than when they're not," he said.
Shanks said that it was important to comply with the law and serve responsibly.
"We've got a huge responsibility — everybody needs to do what they can do." he said.
An informational meeting will be held today for bar and restaurant owners. Madl said she expected the majority of Lawrence businesses to participate. She said Lawrence was picked because it was a college town and because of the relationship between the KLBA and the city, which is helping facilitate the program.
"I think it would help the management and people who own these bars know that their employees are doing their job," Frye said. "I'm sure there are people that let it slide."
Andrew Frye, Overland Park senior,
said he never tried to get into bars
before he was 21. Now that he's legal,
he said he was carded frequently.
"Any grant money to do extra awareness for underage drinking is good as far as we're concerned," Madl said. "It's going to be fun, and we hope that we all get nothing but green cards."

Sex seminar stresses boundaries

Women should set boundaries for how far they'll allow a sexual encounter to help guide them when a sexual situation comes up, counselors told a group of University of Kansas women last night.
"If you've already set boundaries, you may be less likely to be swayed in a situation, especially where alcohol is involved," said Janis Ellis-Claypool, health educator for Watkins Memorial Health Center.
About 25 participants discussed candidly the importance of intimacy in sex and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, and practiced placing condoms on artificial penises at a discussion last night at Douthart Scholarship Hall titled "But I Like It Like That: Women and Sex at KU."
Ellis-Claypool also told the women about the emergency contraceptive known as the morning-after pill, which actually can be taken up to 72 hours after a sexual
The discussion was sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
encounter to reduce the chance of pregnancy. The treatment is available at Watkins, she said.
"It's not what we're going to endorse as our biggest method of birth control, but it is an option," she said.
Chlamydia and genital
warts are the most common STDs among KU students, followed by genital herpes and mollusca. About one in eight college women has some form of STD, both nationally and on the KU campus, she said.
"You have to take that thought of an STD as being a dirty person's thing and check it at the door," Ellis-Claypool said. "Because many of us are sexually active, and it is a risk."
The panel also warned that some STDs, including genital warts and herpes, can be spread through genital touching, even if a condom is used for intercourse.
Laura Montgomery, coordinator of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education program at the center, warned that some women were sexually assaulted without even realizing what has happened.
"We know that the majority of assaults on campus happen between people who know each other — over 90 percent," she said.
Marielle Monteaux, Sisseton, S.D., senior, said she thought the casual atmosphere of the Douthart lounge helped the participants open up about their sexual experiences. She said she found the discussion helpful.
"I had a lot of questions answered, especially about the STDs, because you're just not sure," she said.

Future of tribes to be examined at conference
By Leita Schultes

Kansas staff writer
By Leita Schultes
In Native-American cultures, ancestors and leaders are respected for the wisdom they provide.
At 7 tonight, Native-American leaders will gather at the Spencer Museum of Art to hear a welcome address for "American Indian Leaders: Red Power and Tribal Politics," a three-day conference sponsored by the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University.
The conference will focus on the future of Native-American leadership through guidance from the past, and several Native counsellors.

See page 5A
"It's really an impressive crowd of accomplished people who are not typically together in one place," said Nancy Scott Jackson, acquisitions editor for the
University Press of Kansas.
Ada E. Deer, a member of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, will give the keynote address at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at Haskell.
Jackson said Deer's presence at the conference would be especially significant because Deer helped her tribe overrun the termination of its relationship with the government in the 1970s. She also is the first woman to be assistant secretary for Indian Affairs with the Department of the Interior.
During the 1960s and 1970s, the government tried to distance itself from Native-American tribes by suggesting the tribes were becoming independent and no longer needed to be wards of the state, Jackson said.
Jackson said many issues from the 1960s still were relevant and would be discussed at the conference.
But, she said, the Red Power Movement — and many of the leaders attending the conference — fought against such action by enforcing treaties, advocating fishing rights and retaining Native-American culture.
Donald Fixico, chairman of the indigenous nations studies program, agreed.
"I think that these individuals really kind of opened the door," Fixico said. "An Indian identity truly emerges from this time period."
Other topics that will be addressed include the ethics of indigenous-studies programs, the retention of culture and artifacts, and the impacts of gaming.
Alicia Martinez, Haskell Indian Nations University student and Zuni tribe member, said she would be interested in learning about Native-American artifacts. She has to go to a museum to view the possessions of her ancestors, she said, but they should be returned to their rightful owners.
Such topics, and the conference itself, interest a variety of people. Jackson said 155 people had preregistered for the event — only about half of whom are Native Americans. She said she expected nearly 200 people, including scholars, students and activists, to attend the conference.
Student registration is $25, and general registration is $86.

KU program receives grant for tutoring
Sen. Pat Roberts announced yesterday that the University of Kansas would receive a $126,400 grant for the expansion of a program led by the KU Center for Research Inc.
The program prepares low-income Topeka middle school students for high school and college.
The program includes the following services: after-school and Internet mentoring and tutoring; enabling students to explore post-secondary education options and financial aid; and arranging campus visits and teacher-guided professional development.
Funds from the grant will allow the University to implement these services at Jardine Middle School in Topeka. The grant, which will be renewable for five years, was funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Gear Up program.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the grant shed a positive light on the outreach of the University.
"It is an example of the way KU's nationally ranked education school works closely with the public," he said.

KU student encounters masked masturbator
A 21-year-old female KU student discovered a man masturbating outside her apartment window at midnight Tuesday. Lawrence police said,
Lawrence Police Det. M.T. Brown said the student, who lives in the 3800 block of Clinton Parkway, reported she went to shut a window and heard someone say something to her. She saw a man wearing a black skim mask looking in her window and masturbating
The student called Innovative Security, and a security guard chased the suspect on foot until he lost track of the man at 24th Street and Brookside Drive. Brown said.
The suspect, who was not caught, was described as a white male, 6 foot 2 inches tall and about 220 pounds.

Hillary Clinton advances to November election
Albany, N.Y. — Hillary Rodham Clinton swept past her little-known challenger, soundly defeating Mark McMahon 5-1.
With Tuesday's contests finished in nine states and the District of Columbia, most candidates set their eyes on November battles. Clinton had 82 percent of the vote to McMahon's 18 percent, with most of the precincts reporting. Now she goes on to her first debate with Republican Rep. Rick Lazio, who was unopposed in his primary.
Controversial GOP ad taken off television
WASHINGTON — A GOP commercial that subtly flashes the word "RATS" across the screen is coming off the air amid allegations that Republicans were trying to send a subliminal message about Al Gore.
George W. Bush called the notion bizarre and weird, and his campaign made light of it all. The GOP admaker said he was just trying to make the spot visually interesting. But Gore's campaign and experts in political advertising said the word choice — as an announcer was denouncing Gore's Medicare plan — could hardly have been an accident.
"I've never seen anything like it," the vice president said Tuesday in Middletown, Ohio.
Runningmate Joseph Lieberman called the ad very disappointing and strange. Bush noted that the word appears only fleetingly — for a fraction of a second. Played at full speed, it's barely noticeable, particularly if the viewer isn't looking for it.
LONG BEACH, Calif. — A California judge declared Pat Buchanan the true Reform Party presidential nominee yesterday, dealing another setback to rival John Hagelin.
Judge denies candidate Reform Party riotination
Superior Court Judge James L. Wright ordered Hagelin not to campaign as the party's nominee, and Hagelin said he would honor that ruling, both in California and nationwide. In the meantime, his lawyer said he would seek to delay the force of the ruling while appealing it.
Hagelin said he would continue to campaign as the Natural Law Party candidate and would seek broader support.
"We're moving ahead dynamically with what we hope will be a very high-profile campaign," he said. "The Reform Party that we knew and loved under Ross Perot has been killed."
The judge's ruling came one day after the Federal Election Commission in Washington said in a preliminary ruling that $12.6 million in federal campaign funds belong to Buchanan.
Israel criticizes end of Austrian sanctions
WORLD
VIENNA, Austria — The European Union's decision to end sanctions against Austria drew quick criticism from Israel, with Prime Minister Ehud Barak saying sanctions should have continued so long as a party with neo-fascist characteristics remains in government.
Barak's comment came hours after Austria's 14 EU partners lifted sanctions they had imposed seven months ago, when the far-right Freedom Party was awarded a spot in Austria's coalition government. The Freedom Party was then led by Joerg Haider.
Haider's past comments sympathetic to aspects of Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime made him one of Europe's most controversial politicians, and the EU quickly imposed sanctions when he formed a coalition with conservative Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel.
European fuel protests lead to empty pumps
LONDON — Fuel tankers escorted by police began rolling past protesters' barricades early yesterday en route to Britain's fuel-starved gas pumps — the latest development in Europe-wide fuel protests that have left pumps running dry and tempers flaring.
The first trucks began departing depots in England and Scotland hours after Prime Minister Tony Blair organized a day of crisis meetings Tuesday and promised a quick end to the protests. Truckers, taxi drivers and others angry about high fuel prices and taxes have blocked fuel depots for days, creating shortages that have set off panic buying and kept cars off roads.
By Tuesday evening, retailers Shell and Elf estimated that 90 percent of their British filling stations were dry.

Chat rooms hardly veil genders, researcher says
By Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
College-age students aren't that creative when they play out their sexual fantasies online, one researcher says.
Chat room users 18- to 23-years-old tend to play out stereotypical situations when they engage in sexual role playing, said Susan Herring, professor of information science and linguistics at Indiana University. Herring made a presentation titled "Gender in Cyberspace: Implications for Internet Research" at the Kansas Union yesterday.
Chat dialogue often mimics plot lines from romance novels. Herring said.
"I found that when young people try to reach beyond the everyday for fantasy, they play out these very stereotypical story lines," she said. "There's usually the sexually aggressive male and the cov female."
But sexual fantasy isn't the only area where researchers have found that gender roles in everyday life carry over to Internet communication, Herring said.
Herring found that 89 percent of all the chat room fantasies she studied could be considered stereotypical.
"Early research said the Internet deconstructs gender, because you can't see the physical body of the person you're talking with," she said. "But gender differences do exist on the Internet, much as in other contexts."
On average, men post longer messages in news groups and other forums than women. Women often leave shorter messages, and are far more likely to apologize for leaving a long message. Herring said.
while using a real-time chat service in the Budig Hall computer lab.
"Most of the time, you can tell," she said. "Guys talk a lot more."
Alexis Robinson, Topeka sophomore,
said she noticed the same patterns
"Internet users simply re-represent the differences in communication styles between men and women that we see in face-to-face meetings," he said.
Women are more polite and supportive in Web discussions, while men tend to be more aggressive and are more likely to resort to insults in an online argument, said Rob Kling, researcher at Indiana University's Center for Information Studies. Kling attended Herring's presentation.
Men also spend more time exploring new Web sites, downloading software and following links, while women tend to log out when they've found what they were looking for, Herring found.

Senate targets voters, housing ordinance
By Kusten Phelps
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Student Senate wants students to register to vote and, at the same time, express their disapproval of a proposed housing ordinance change in Lawrence.
The Student Legislative Awareness Board, which is part of Senate, will sponsor a voter registration drive starting next week as part of a
larger effort to educate students about November's elections and get them to the polls.
At the same time, the Student Rights committee plans to coordinate a petition drive with the registration drive. The petition would express student disapproval of the ordinance proposal, which would reduce the number of non-related persons living in a single-family residence from four to two persons.
"I would really like to go to the city commission and show them a big stack of a thousand voter registration cards
that say 'Douglas County' on them and say, 'Guess how many people can vote you out?" said Greg Smith, Student Rights committee vice-chairman. "If we can show them that we actually are a voting power, that will put fear in them."
Holly Krebs, Student Rights committee chairwoman, outlined the arguments of Arly Allen, a Lawrence resident who favors the proposal. Allen has argued that students are disruptive to the neighborhoods; have more spending power than many single families; push out other single families from the neighborhoods, leading to a decline in elementary school enrollment; and have caused land values to increase, leading to higher property taxes.
"Some of these numbers are ridiculous," Smith said. "They've got us making $13,000 to $18,000 a year. I want to meet these students that are making that money. We've got to go to the city and say 'Look, we're poor. The idea we make $13,000 a year is ridiculous. The idea we're bad neighbors is ridiculous.' We have to win them over with this logic."
The city planning commission will vote on the ordinance at its Oct. 25 meeting. If it passes, the city commission probably will vote on it in November.
STUDENT SENATE
What happened? Senate discussed a Lawrence housing proposal to limit non-related persons living in a single-family residence to two persons.
What it means: Senate will work to express student disapproval of the proposed ordinance.
What's next: Senate plans to include a petition drive with next week's SLAB voter registration drive.
Krebs said students could have an impact by registering to vote as Douglas County residents, signing the petition, participating in a letter writing drive and attending the city and planning commission meetings.
Senate approved a petition requesting student representation on the KU/Coca-Cola Partnership Council. The petition was amended to express University Council's support of the petition. Erin Simpson, off-campus senator, said University Council would push for faculty representation on the council.

Recruiting minorities is focus for University
the campus and the reasons behind those decisions.
Continued from page 1A
A final category addresses faculty searches for which no minorities applied. The survey asks for possible reasons for the lack of minority candidates and ideas for additional efforts that would have resulted in minority applicants.
Shulenburger said the administration looked at minority faculty recruitment figures every year, and the survey was a different way of getting that information.
"We thought we'd see this year if there were any common reasons that we can work on as a university." Shulen burial said.
He said he had not received all the responses yet, but he planned to work with the Office of Equal Opportunity and academic deans to analyze the results.
"Hopefully, we can get a better feel of things that we might change to successfully recruit more minorities," Shulenburger said.
Robert Page, Jr., director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said more minority faculty members would improve the University's learning environment.
"It aligns itself with what we would like to do with minority student enrollment, and that is to get a true representation of the world." Page said. "More diversity builds a stronger learning environment because teachers bring in their out-of-class experiences that enhances the inclass experience."

Corporations FCC stifle local radio
Here's some news, folks. The GOP is about to get an itchy horsefly bite in its derriere.
Heard about the big FM radio dilemma being batted around in the mahogany halls of Congress?
Briefly, it goes like this: The elephant doesn't want pesky little proselytizing radio stations (community and college radio) to clutter up available bandwidth when the big boys are perfectly willing to shell out a lot of clams for their wattage. This is called protecting business interests, a hallmark of Republicanism. Valid enough.
With these interests in mind, Republicans have been vociferously stating their opposition to the enactment of 1998 FCC regulations allowing for the creation of up to 4,000
low-power (1 to 1,000 watts) radio stations. Norshely bite yet; the party is simply grand-standing for its preferred client, Mr. Big Business, as major parties do.
Where does the problem enter?
PATRICK
It turns out that the vast majority of organizations applying for licensing to broadcast at low-power frequencies have been Christian parishes. This creates a conflict of constituency
Ramona
DeNies

opinion@kansan.com
interest for a political party that tends to promote a broadly Christian agenda.
It is, of course, also ironic that a political party finds itself tangled up in a battle between good business and the First Amendment. You see, there is more to this issue than simple conflicts of interest. The base question is whether radio is a commodity or a public service.
Many of us believe that democracy and radio should go together like milk and cookies, in which both contribute to the other's continuing popularity. Unfortunately, radio has been reefed by some awfully near-sighted types since the inception of the game
signed types since the inception of the game. The FCC regulations approved in January 1998 ostensibly marked the end of an era of media consolidation, if you believe FCC chairman Bill Kennard. Prior to the regulations, all unlicensed low-power stations had been banned, with frequent FCC crackdowns attempting to eliminate private stations. In 1996, an amendment to FCC guidelines relaxed regulations limiting the number of stations that could be owned by a single company. The result was rapid nationwide consolidation of stations, including Lawrence's KLZR, now a member of the Zimmer Radio Group. Lawrence's community radio station KAW 88.9 was gobbled up by FCC pirate sharks. KJHK The Hawk. The University's licensed student-run station, was mercifully granted permission to upgrade from 500 watts to 2,900 in 1999. The new FCC regulations appear to take a step away from this period of monopolistic radio practices.
However, it would be a mistake to think that the regulations are actually an attempt to re-democratize radio, as Kennard states. Rather, the parceling-out of such a limited bandwidth can be seen as an effort by the FCC to appease the more than 13,000 individuals who hounded the FCC in 1998 regarding the availability of low-power stations. And the licensing for newly approved low-power stations does not come cheap; a one-watt station, with a potential radius of one mile, costs an FCC-estimated minimum $2,500. A 1,000-watt station has a potential broadcast radius of nine miles and costs a minimum $100,000.
What is happening to radio is what is happening to major information sources in general: the establishment of the dreaded pyramid structure of power. An increasingly few wealthy media conglomerates control the vast majority of FM radio bandwidth, while the barest minimum is divived among small neighborhood parishes and college stations that barely broadcast beyond town limits. Democratization of the airwaves means that the primary consideration in doling out bandwidth should be the presence of an audience rather than cash flow.
What's to be done? I say tune in, log on and drop a line to your favorite local station to do the same before the referees get there.

International student affected by dress code
he recent happenings at Jack
Flanigans Bar and Grill have forced me to leave international politics at least for a moment. As you may know, international politics is usually the focus of my writings. However, when something like Jack Flanigans dress code is brought to light, nobody can be silent. I certainly will not.
"Students say dress code at bar is discrimi-
Students say dress conatory" was the main Kansan headline on Sept. 7. The story that followed described a student's experience trying to get into Jack Flanigans.
Since then, many University of Kansas students have talked to me about this matter. Everyone I have talked to in the past few days agrees that every business owner has the right to set a dress code or any other rules that would try to make the business a better place for its customers.
I read Jack Flanigans' original dress policy — also included in the Kansan story — and I disagree with most of it. Despite my personal feelings, I recognize the bar's right to set it — trying to accomplish its best interests.
Any policy that focuses on the welfare of students is a good one, and that is common sense in a college town where most of us are students. The problem with the old dress code is that Abercrombie & Fitch is a brand associated with a certain group of students — and we all know that. FUBU also is a brand usually linked to a specific group of people. The mere fact that the bar clearly stated that Abercrombie was welcome and FUBU was
Cássio

opinion@kansan.com
not welcome was the problem. Someone easily could have thought that the group of people associated with FUBU was not welcome at Jack Flanigans. The bar's dress code did not fulfill its purpose, which was making everyone's environment better. It simply excluded a certain group of people who used this brand.
As I mentioned before, it is OK to impose certain rules in order to promote the welfare of everybody. The problem is that nobody can prove that restricting the entrance of people who wear FUBU will make the environment safer or more pleasant to the rest of the business' customers.
I'm glad that Jack Flanigans' owner thought carefully about this policy. If he hadn't, he would be damaging his business' reputation and also how it would be regarded by students in Lawrence. University of Kansas students wear Abercrombie, FUBU and many other brands. Because I don't wear any of the brands mentioned by the dress code, I feel comfortable and impartial analyzing this situation. By changing this unnecessary dress policy Jack Flanigans avoids experiencing some radical reactions — maybe as radical as the initial dress code itself. The bar avoided reactions like the one of a Kansan reader in last week's Free for All, who said, "The entire city of Lawrence should boycott Jack Flanigans."
The easiest way to draw the line between who you want to enter your business and who you don't is to raise the price. If Jack wants to select some people — the best way is to increase its prices. However, the business fears that some people it initially didn't want to turn away will be gone.
Give it a thought. Maybe it's just a matter of opening everyone's minds a little bit.

Editorial
Campaign too focused on religion
Lieberman promotes his Jewish faith as a reason for moral credibility.
Joe Lieberman needs to ease up on the religious rhetoric. Even the Anti-Defamation League is alarmed by his straddling the boundary between church and state. Religion shouldn't be an issue in any political campaign, but more importantly, it should not be a shortcut for proving a candidate's morality and leadership.
Lieberman has claimed that the Constitution gives us freedom of religion, not from religion. He justifies important policies regarding topics such as prescription drugs on the teachings of the Torah. The Anti-Defamation League, a pro-Jewish group that pursues separation between church and state, has criticized Lieberman for making religion an important part of his campaign.
But religion isn't as important as image is for Lieberman, who has been quick to criticize the Clintons. Gore needed a running mate that would assure the voters that he would have a moral administration. Lieberman has the image.
n Gore doesn't want to debate with the Republicans on Clinton's character, why bait them with a vice president such as Lieberman? Why dignify the imbecility of "restoring dignity to the White House?"
This image assumes that because a person is religious, he also is a moral leader. Bush and Gore invoke God to curry favor with voters, but Lieberman has gone a step further by asserting the necessity for instilling religious principles in government.
All the talk of religion won't stop Lieberman from double dipping on election day. He already has won the right to run for the vice presidency and his old Connecticut Senate seat at the same time.
It is a breach of moral leadership principles. The best reason to run in two elections is to hedge your bets and put your interests before the interests of the state and the country. Which is the better test of a leader's mettle, the religious things they say or the things they do? If Lieberman is an orthodox anything, he's an orthodox politician.

Class assists students in job search
By Karen Lucas writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Not only is Matt Rehder learning how to find a job this semester, but he's also getting academic credit for it.
Rehder, Lawrence senior, is one of nearly 50 students taking LA&S 492: Job Search Strategies for Liberal Arts & Sciences Students. The one-credit-hour class meets every Tuesday and is taught by Gail Rooney, director of University career and employment services, and Ann J. Hartley, associate director.
"The point of college is to prepare you for your future, and this
is another step in that process," said Rehder, a political science major who would like to find a government job in Washington, D.C. "I think they're giving us real world advice and telling us there are jobs out there that can be found and that each individual would be interested in."
While a similar course has been offered to undergraduates in the School of Business, this is the first time the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has offered the class.
Rooney said she welcomed the idea for the course when a staff member from the college's Office of Undergraduate Services suggested it last year.
"It's what we needed and wanted to do," she said.
Rooney said one of the course goals was to help students market themselves to employers.
"The difficulty is the student has to identify their own skills and abilities and then say I can do that." Rooney said.
Through lectures, guest speakers and group activities, Rooney and Hartley also are focusing on writing resumes, networking, learning how to research a company, interviewing and dressing professionally. While the class does not have exams, students must complete written assignments, attend a career fair and participate in a mock interview.
Lindsay Millsap, Naperville, Ill. senior, gave high marks to a recent class session on resumes.
"If you don't have a good resume, you have nothing," said Millsap, who signed up for the class after seeing a flier for it. "They taught us the most effective ways to present your qualifications, skills and achievements to employers."
Some of the instructors' tips include making resumes easy for potential employers to scan as well as focusing on outcomes and accomplishments. A hand-out gave a list of action verbs that students should try to use such as "spearheaded," "implemented" and "motivated."

'Butcher ready to begin season
Continued from page 6A
rest of his things when he left the swampland for the heartland.
KU
"By the end of my senior year of high school, I had nowhere to go," he said. "My test scores weren't good enough to go to a Division I school, so I knew I had to go the junior college route. My coach hooked me up with the coaches at Butler County, and that's where I went."
Carl Nesmith started his football career as a quarterback in his Florida high school. He made the transfer from offense to defense as a safety for the Jayhawks. Kansan file photo
So, that's how a Florida high school standout with gold teeth and baby dreads ended up here in Lawrence as a murderous tackler.
The Butcher credits his smooth transition from offense to defense to his ability to anticipate and react. The rest he credits to last year's secondary coach and school record holder for tackles in a season by a defensive back, Clint Bowen.
"He taught me everything I know about playing the safety position," Nesmith said. "He taught me how to play defense—making reads, covering receivers, making hits, everything. Now that he's gone (Bowen still is in the football program but no longer a coach), I still have a lot to learn on my own, but he's the one who got me started."
Another smile shows the gold teeth again while the Butcher talks about putting Bowen's secondary record of 114 tackles in 1993 under the knife this year.
Amidst all the attention of the pre-season honors, the big-hit reputation, and the fearsome nickname, Nesmith has kept his feet on the ground. Don't forget, a year ago at this time he was a junior college transfer with nothing to lean on and a whole lot to prove.
That fact rings an ironic bell in light of Nesmith's one-game suspension that kept him from playing in the 'Hawks' 31-17 loss against SMU two weeks ago in Dallas. And Saturday, Nesmith begins his mission to break the tackle record and help guide Kansas to a bowl game.
"I think I can do it, and so does he," Nesmith said. "He always gives me a hard time about it, and he likes to remind me that he even missed a game the year he set the record."
"It's a dream come true," he said. "I'm just happy that I have one position on the field that I can focus on and sort of identify myself by. I need to keep the same mindframe I've always had of just being Carl
"A year ago, if the ball was in the air, I would have just tried to crush the receiver. But this year, I understand that I need to make plays for the team, and if I can make an interception and take it to the house instead of making a big hit, I'm going to do that."
"He's done a tremendous job learning the defense in the time
Allen confirmed his free safety's progress.
that he's had," Allen said. "He's made the adjustment remarkably well, and he continues to do so every day."
Nesmith also has developed into a versatile player — a trait that has gotten the attention of offensive coordinators in the big 12 Conference and NFL scouts.
The Butcher said that during pre-game warmups he liked to look the opposing offense up and down until he found his man. Then, he says to himself, "That's the guy I want to hit."
And of course, he loves to talk a little trash on the field just to get into his opponent's head ... right before he tries to knock if off.

Talented tackler at home on defense
By Bo Allegruci sports@kansan.com kansasnatswriter
On a Saturday afternoon last fall, the Southern Methodist Mustangs visited Lawrence for the fourth game of the 1999 football season and were introduced to a relatively unknown safety.
An SMU receiver caught a routine pass and turned upfield, only to meet a two-legged freight train dressed in crimson and blue.
This was the moment after which life began to change for Kansas' Carl Nesmith, who laid a mind-numbing blow on the poor SMU receiver. After being pulverized, the receiver failed through the air in one direction while the ball did the same in the other. Nesmith recovered the fumble, and the game's momentum shifted.
The Mustangs had seen enough, their collective will to win lying on the ground. John Wayne and Knute Rocke could have given them a joint halftime speech and it
wouldn't have mattered, and the Javahaws rolled to a 27-9 win.
It was official, Carl Nesmith had just become "The Butcher."
become The Butcher.
Of course, Big Blue faithful will recall
Of course, big blue other ground-shaking hits courtesy of number five, like the one on what's his-name from Missouri and the one on that one guy from Iowa State. But what most fans and the Butcher himself remember is the carnage that he produced that crisp fall afternoon against SMU.
The incident was alarming enough for
follow defensive back Quincy Roe to conjure up the intimidating nickname for Nesmith. Not bad, for a high school quarterback turned junior college wide receiver who two months before that SMU game never in his life had played a down on the defensive side of the ball. Not bad for a guy who came to Kansas not knowing if or where he was going to play for coach Terry Allen's budding football program.
Nosmith: didn't play defense until joining the 'Hawks
"When we were recruiting Carl, we saw a great athlete," Allen said. "But we weren't quite sure what all he could do. We wanted to see if he could hit, and after the first day in full pads, we saw that he certainly could."
Nesmith said his role was questionable when he first arrived at Kansas because the coaches were confused about where he should play.
Sounds like it would be easy for Nesmith to be unsure about the way the coaches were swinging him around the practice
"They had several holes to fill, and they knew that I could help fill some of them," he said. "At first, they were telling me to keep my arm warm, then they had me running pass patterns, and finally I ended up on defense."
field. But in actuality, the transition was an easy one compared with the one he had made the year before at Butler County Community College, where he went from throwing passes to catching them.
"After I started at quarterback my freshman year and didn't play that well, the coaches at Butler felt that I could help the team more as a wide receiver," Nesmith said. "And having been a quarterback all my life, that was really hard to do at first."
"I wasn't make up my mind that I would work really hard and do all that I could to learn the position."
The uncertainty left after starting at wideout on a BCCC team that won the national championship in 1998. Even back then, doubt was nothing new to Nesmith. In fact, indecision had followed him from Raines High School in Jacksonville, Fla., as if he'd packed it in his suitcase with the

Team breaks,record beats Colorado for first time in 13 years
'Hawks out-dig Buffaloes for victory
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The match went into five games after the Buffaloes claimed the first and fourth game, but fell to the Jayhawks in the second and third. The fifth game is played in a rally
It took a lot of self confidence and a little help from the volleyball gods, but the Kansas volleyball team defeated Colorado last night after a two-and-a-half-hour block-and-dig marathon.

the opportunity to break it complete.
The team had premium stats in an area that Bechard had been asking his team to focus on all season — digging, Kansas out-dug Colorado 88-79. Sixteen of those came from an unusual source — senior middle blocker Danielle Geronymo, who at 6 foot 2 is a more likely candidate to be policing the net.
"I just love to dig." Geronymo said.
"I wasn't good at it when I started playing, and I work hard for the ones I get."
'On the offensive end of things, the 'Hawks had four players numbering in double digits in kills — Geronomyo, as well as outside hitters Sarah Rome, freshman, and Nancy Bell and Amy Myatt, seniors. Myatt and Bell finished first and second in

Colorado, the Big 12 Conference teams would view the 'Hawks as a serious challenge, rather than a speed bump in conference play.
"I think people (in the conference) don't expect us to win," Bell said. "We want to tell people, 'Don't underestimate us. We can win, we're good. Don't count us out.'"
The Jayhawks continue their conference play when they meet No. 19 Texas A&M, 4-3, at 6 p.m. Friday in College Station, Texas.

Kansas' last win against Colorado came in 1987 when it beat the Buffalooes 3-1 in Lawrence. Equally amazing about the victory was that Kansas had not managed to win more than one game against Colorado since that victory.
First, the Jayhawk set a record for the best start in a season by improving their already perfect record to 9-0. They tied the record for consecutive wins to begin a season — previously set by the 1990 team — in the Jayhawk Classic Saturday against the University of Mississippi.

For the Kansas volleyball team, the victory against Colorado yesterday was twice as sweet.
Second, the 'Hawks managed to beat the Buffaloes, which hasn't happened since the Reagan administration.
"I'm just so happy," Bell said. Bell is one of four seniors who had been beaten 3-0 in their six previous matches against Colorado but were overjoyed to get their win during the last chance on their home floor.
"I'm just so happy." Bell said.
"I's a really great feeling," Bell said. "I'm really proud to be on this team, and I'm really proud of my teammates."
Senior middle blocker Danielle Geronymo also was overwhelmed by the victory.
"I don't have the words to describe how happy I am," she said. "It's like winning the KU tournament all over again."
It was not just the victory against Colorado that gave the 'Hawks such great feelings after the match. It was the way they won it.
The match came down to rally play in the fifth and a deciding game, a game that Kansas won 16-14 on a net violation. Colorado
The violation brought the Jayhawk players off the bench and into a giant hug in the middle of the floor before they shook the hands of the team that had manhandled them for so many years.
Colorado now leads the all-time series 26-3, but the Kansas players said they didn't care about aggregate totals. They only care that they won last night.
Now the 'Hawks have a chance to turn last night's win win into momentum for a run that has them facing two teams that have treated them much like Colorado has in the past.
Kansas plays Texas A&M tomorrow and Nebraska on Wednesday, Sept. 20. The two teams combined are 72-1 against the Jayhawks.

Knight needs several key qualities to be great
The jerk finally got what he deserved.
I'm not alone either.
Here's one for you vocabulary buffs: schadenfreude. It means pleasure derived from the misfortune of others. I'm not ashamed to say that I got a healthy dose of it when Indiana officials finally stood up to Knight.
I'm sure that's what a lot of us thought upon hearing that Bobby Knight got canned. And it felt good.
This is, after all, the man who told Connie Chung that if a woman is being raped she should try to lay back and enjoy the ride. This is the man who physically assaulted his own staff. This is the man who refused to apologize to those he offended.
And this is the man who believes he is an authority on manners.
But while many of us revile this man and are happy to see him go, our very own Roy Williams is saddened by it.
I'm here to tell you that's just a load of crap.
"People can say he's had 100 chances, but I think he should have 100 more," Williams told the Laurence Journal-World. "The great things he has done completely outnumber the other things he gets criticized for."
This is the paradox of Bobby Knight. People who are close to him will tell you that he's a very generous and kind man when you get to know him. He's just a very intense person who sometimes loses his temper, they say. He's not really a jerk.
We all have friends or family who we swear really are good people — they just occasionally do mean things. "You have to get to know the 'real' sound-so," we say. The fact is that these people are jerks.
If they are mean and disrespectful to others, they are jerks. If they lose their tempers and assault others and never apologize, they are jerks. Even if they do a lot of nice things for the people they like, they still are jerks.
And, like Knight's defenders, we make excuses for them.
And all the excuses that people make for Knight? They may have some validity, but they don't change the fact that he is a jerk.
Knight defenders point to his excellent record of graduating players. He's a teacher, they say, and he instills discipline and respect in these impressionable young men.
But lesson No.1 is loyalty. Knight requires loyalty and demands that he be in control of every relationship. And we've seen what happens to those who breach his perception of loyalty. Even a Hoosier hero and Knight product such as Steve Alford can fall from the General's good graces.
Alford, now the coach at Iowa, was rebuffed in his attempt to reconcile with Knight after he apparently "betrayed" Knight by revealing too much about the Indiana program in his book.
Knight does do great things for people, but only those who will deal with him entirely on his own terms. To truly be as "great" as his fans insist that he is, Knight would have to develop characteristics in which he is severely lacking: empathy, forgiveness and patience. In short, he needs to learn to let others have some control.
The only thing at which he is truly great is that which he can completely control; his coaching.
Unfortunately, that's why we can expect to see more of this jerk soon.
Prater is a Lawrence graduate student in journalism.

Programs style change at KJHK
By Matt Merkel-Hess

Kansas staff writer
Radio waves are abuzz with changes at KJHK, the University's student-run radio station.
The station now plays more new music every hour and has added a beat-oriented show on weekday mornings.
The changes were made with student listeners in mind, said Justin Montag, Olathe senior and KJHK's program director. The station still plays a mixture of college rock, jazz and special programs, but regular rock programming now includes seven songs —
from the new
music stacks. New albums are voted into the stacks by the music staff, and disc jockeys can select any song from the albums to fulfill the seven-cutter-hour requirement.
"Listeners are more likely to hear new music more
often," Montag said. "If they don't know about it, they'll be exposed to it."
Ryan Paget, Scott City senior,
has listened to the station since
his freshman year. He said that
unless listeners knew about the
increase in rotation cuts per
hour, they couldn't notice the difference.
"They change every semester," Paget said. "It's always for the better that they stay on top of what's current and are always pushing the envelope."
705
Raget said he also has enjoyed the new morning beats program, Breakfast for Beat Lovers.
The show began in June and airs from 9 a.m. to noon on weekdays. In addition to hip-hop, the Beat Lovers DJS spin funk, reggae, soul and electronic beats, Montag said.
Derek John, Topea senior and co-jazz director at the station, said he thought that although it might be strange for the morning hours, Beatlovs complemented
the jazz programming.
"I think we're ahead of the game as far as putting that on the radio," said John, who also is a Kansan music reviewer.
Many of the changes stem from a survey conducted last spring by a journalism research class, Marketing and Media Research, said Gary Hawke, professor of journalism and station general manager. He said the results of the survey showed that many students didn't know about the station, couldn't identify the station number and wanted more familiar music such as top 40, classic rock and hip-hop. Rather than play music already on other stations, KJHK decided to play more hip-hop and beats in the form of Breakfast for Beat Lovers, Hawke said.
"It always a decision every semester — what music we should play, what flavor we should be," he said. "We took little heavier look last semester because we had some research
results.'
In addition to the changes in music programming, a new station logo was designed focusing on the station number, 90.7, rather than the call letters, KJHK. The logo will be available this fall on station banners and on bumper
stickers.
Also in the works is a Web site called the KJHK Companion, where listeners can find out what music is currently playing, learn more about the artist and follow links to related sites.
Chris Eckert, Topeka senior, DJ and music staff member, said he thought the music played at the station has expanded as 105.9 the Lazer, other radio stations and MTV have shifted to what he calls "hard-core bubble gum pop."
Other plans for the station include putting most of the station's music on a hard drive, Hawke said. This would make it easier for DJs to search the collection, preserve old vinyl and conserve space in the overflowing Sudder Annex.
"Obviously, we're bringing more hip-hop oriented people into the station this year as opposed to pop or indie rock," Eckert said. "But as long as it doesn't drown out the other genres, I think it's good."

Breakfast for Best Lovers, 9 a.m.
to noon weekdays
This show focuses on beats in all forms, including hip hop, reggae, funk, soul and electronic beats. DJs sometimes bring in guests to spin or rap live.
Hilltop Lounge, 9 to 10 p.m. Mondays
On-campus politics and issues that affect students are the topics of this talk show. It will have interviews, commentary and listener feedback.
"it's more of an art form than people realize," he said.
Sutra, Midnight to 2 a.m. Tuesday Sutra host Eric Morriss, Topeka junior, said he wanted to dispel negative attitudes toward electronic music.
Morriss said he chose the Tuesday morning time slot so he could present the music in a way conducive to sleeping or studying.
Blood and Chocolate, 6 to 8 p.m.
Fridays
This program focuses on power pop by artists such as Elvis Costello and Cheap Trick, said Ty Haas, Olathe senior and the show's host. He said the response to the show had been better than expected.
"I honestly thought it would be me and a bunch of nerds listening," Haas said. "But it's been going great."
ONE w/ DJ Konsept, 10-midnight Fridays
For the first hour, DJ Konsept spins the latest hip-hop, electronic and funk. The second hour is all live, with DJ Konsept bringing in guest DJs, live mixing, live PAs and studio performances.
Tons of Fun with the Fat Kid, 6 to 9 a.m., Saturdays
Tons of Fun host Luke Atkinson, Leawood senior, said the show didn't have much of a theme.
"There's not much you can focus on that early in the morning," he said. Atkinson said he played '80s and early '90s music and that he was willing to talk about anything on the air. He said he hoped it would make people think and give them a different outlook on college.
"We're about equal with the number of calls of complaint and calls of congratulations," Attkinson said.
La Pocha, 2-4 p.m. Saturdays
"La pocha" means someone who speaks a mixture of Spanish and English, and the two DJs of this show do just that in between sets of Latin American and Brazilian music.
"It will change your idea of what Latin music is," said co-host Ramona DeNies, Portland, Ore., senior and a Kansan columnist.
This Is Our Music, 5 to 6 p.m.
Sundays
This show is an hour-long investigation into the influence and importance of genre defining — or sometimes defying — musicians. Styles of music as diverse as bluegrass, U.K. punk, outjazz and 20th century classical will be aired. Show host Brandon Burke, Overland Park graduate student, said the show was a forum for listeners to learn about older music.
"The idea is to play important recordings that might not be obvious," Burke said.
KJHK was mentioned in a guide to "great radio from coast to coast" in July.
The article said KJHK was "one of the most rocking front-line college stations in the country, and, having gone online in 1994, the first to broadcast a continuous live signal over the 'Net."
KJHK will have a DJ broadcasting live in front of the Kansas Union on Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. They will be passing out the new burner stickers and fall music schedules.

Work at a job you know by heart in February, and qualify for more than you thought possible in April. A career move could increase your income around June. Friends let you know you're in the right place in July. Fine tune the details in August.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
You still have too much on your plate, but your energy level's improving. Now it looks like a challenge, instead of a horrible burden. Your sense of humor must be coming back, too, and not a moment too soon!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 5.
You may be in the mood for love, but there isn't time. You've got the work you planed, plus somebody else's emergency. You'll find a way to satisfy everyone, but it could take longer than you'd hoped. Do the best you can with what you have.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8.
You can accomplish just about anything if you play with the right team. You provide the planning and the motivation, and they'll provide the energy and a variety of skills. If you don't have a team, maybe you could hire one.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 5.
Cancer (June 22- July 22) Today is a 5 . You could do well financially in the next few days by trying something different. This may not be easy since it means confronting something or somebody who's scary. It could be worth the bother, however. Be nice but firm.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7.
Your odds of success are better today, especially in love. You may finally make a connection you've been after for ages. Also make time for a little excursion. A jaint with somebody you love would do you both a world of good.
Virao (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 4.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 6 .
Virgin Aug. 29-31, 2014
Just when you thought things would lighten up,
you get a four! Well, it's because of financial diffi-
culties. Don't panic. You will get past this tense
phase; this weekend looks better. Plan something
nice — and inexpensive — for then.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 6 .
If you're attracted to the passionate type, you could be in for a wild ride. If hanging over the edge makes you nervous, watch out. You may want to take your vehicle so you can get home on your own. Sometimes beauty isn't enough. Use your brains, too.
2
Your energy level's gone up, but it's more like nervous energy than the silent power you prefer. Actually, you may even have a bit of a buzz. Use it to get tons of work done. Ignore an opportunity to get jealous. It is not worth the bother.
sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7.
Your luck in love just improved considerably. A venture you attempted before could work this time.
Don't do it while the supervisor's watching, however.
You could lose more than you'd gain.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 5. Although you'd like to try something new, you may be stuck in a rut. Some sort of household chore could keep you from doing something that would be fun. This weekend will be better for romance and travel anyway.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8.
You're well-known for being an intellectual, but sometimes you spend so much time thinking about what might happen, you don't get started. Well, today's not going to be like that. Today, it's full speed ahead!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 5.
If you choose words wisely, you could make a big sale, or you might get that raise or bonus you've been after. The other person wants to be sure they're getting the best for their money. Let them know they are.

Saturday's the first home football game! Break out that Coleman cooler and wash down the barbecue with some tailgate-worthy drinks.
Support the home team and drink a local beer. Boulevard Brewery's Unfiltered Wheat is a great one to try.
For a macho cocktail, pour a shot or two of Captain Morgan's rum or Jack Daniels wine into a tall glass of Coke.
Remember, there's no alcohol allowed inside the stadium, so once you're inside, cool off with a delicious Arctic Lemonade from the vendors.

Store clerk foiled by transparent plot
SHAWNEE — The night clerk at a Shawnee convenience store had a simple plan to steal some money. Police said he blocked the store's two security cameras by putting tape over their lenses, stashed the money in a trash bin and called officers to report an armed robbery.
One problem — the tape he used on the cameras was transparent.
"It's one of those things where (the videotape) looks a little fuzzy, but I don't see any robbery in there," said Shawnee Police Lt. Mitch Brim.
The 19-year-old clerk at the Texaco Starmart told police early Thursday that a man had called the store and ordered him to tape the camera lenses. Then the man supposedly walked in, pointed a pistol at the clerk and demanded money. Within hours, police were writing a report describing how the clerk had staged the crime himself. They released the clerk and planned to send a report to the district attorney's office.

LYNCHBURG, Va. — The Lynchburg School Board has ordered high school officials to tear out a page containing a drawing of female genitalia of every copy of an anatomy textbook.
June Thompson, an editor for publisher W.B. Saunders, said that Lynchburg was the only locality to her knowledge that had objected to the book.
Harry Smith was the lone board member who voted against censoring the book.
"I'd rather have this information conveyed to them in an academic setting with qualified teachers than learn it from little Johnny next door or from Huster magazine," he said.

But school officials denied the code banned thongs. Principal Joseph Pawlick issued a statement saying the thong issue was a rumor and added that no one has been suspended this year for violating the dress code.
Assistant Principal Jenny Hirst also said thongs were not specifically forbidden, although they might be inappropriate if worn, for example, with a white or tight-fitting skirt. The dress code prohibits clothing that "disrupts the effective functioning of the school."

But about half a dozen staff members sank their teeth into the cake and came up with a mouthful of hair.
Smith was arrested for disorderly conduct. He was released on bond with the condition that he not set foot within 1,000 feet of the high school or middle school unless authorized by administrators.

Barbara Kessler — Barbara Kessler
The singer-songwriter genre has been growing, thanks to the efforts of Ani DiFranco and the resurgence of stars like Bob Dylan and James Taylor. Barbara Kessler follows in their footsteps with her third album. She writes sonatas on subjects
5071286
such as dreams and religion. In fact, the Catholic Church is a main topic, or more precisely, how Kessler has come away from it. Not everyday stuff, making her lyrics in "A Perfectly Good Way to Pray" and "Confession" somewhat unique. What holds her back from real stardom is the lack of a good hook. Usually, artists fall back on repeating a chaty chorus to avoid writing more material. Kessler is a gifted songwriter, but she needs more memorable tunes.
As a singer and guitarist, Kessler is solid but not spectacular. Her enthusiasm is one of her charms. Kessler performs at 7:30 tonight at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., as part of the West Side Folk Festival series.

Various Artists — Schoolhouse Funk
"Good evening, ladies and gentleman, this is the Douglas High School Talent Show, 1973..! This is the night we make everything all right. So sit tight and delight to-the sounds that originate from this stage. It's not a premonition or a superstition that tells me you'll be wishin' this show will never end. In a few
minutes the soul starts to roll ... So let's cap our rap and get into the soul on tap ... Sit back and relax, while the funkiy side of town sets all the way down."
This choice bit of vintage emcee jive, taken from the "Intro" track of the extraordinary new release, Schoolhouse Funk, takes the tone for the 7.4 minutes of music that follows. Long-forgotten high school talent show combos and college jazz bands from the 1970s are featured playing a variety of soul and funk classics, as well as their own jazzy originals.
There is a certain pharm to be found in the amateur
renditions of James Brown's "Sudsy (Soul Pride)," Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" and the jazzy cover of Wings "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey." The brass-heavy interpretation of War's "The World is a Ghetto" adds an exclamation point to the
SCHOOLHOUSE FUNK
tune's already inflammatory message, and reminds us that these kids grew up during the Nixon era.
In addition to the rare funk and timeless, intermittent dialogue, this collection provides a fascinating look at the raw musical culture of youth during the 1970s. DJ Shadow and his crew at Quannum Records have outdone themselves this time in their crate digg' endeavors.
Originally meant as year-end mementos, the dusty records unearthed for this compilation truly define the old school sound.

schoolhouse Funk can be heard on "Breakfast for Beat Lovers" every weekday morning from 9 am to noon on KJHK 90.7 FM. The request line is 864-4747.

Bait's script hooks moviegoers
Dance Night Wednesday - Saturday! The Hawk·1340 Ohio
By Ryan Dolan
Kansan movie critic
The biggest gold heist this week end won't be in Sydney for the 2000 Olympic games, but debuting on the silver screen in the action flick, *Bait*, featuring comedian/actor, Jamie Foxx
Foxx (Any Given Sunday) stars as petty thief, Alvin Sanders. Alvin gets locked up for stealing jumbo shrimp — prawns, to be exact. When he arrives at Rikers Island, he briefly shares a cell with convict John Jaster (Robert Pastorelli).
U. S. Treasury investigator Edgar Clenteen (David Morse), knows that Jaster, who was picked up for driving while intoxicated, has just stolen $42 million in gold from the Federal Reserve in Manhattan. Jaster croaks before the menacing Clenteen can discover where he hid the gold and who masterminded the operation.
The government is not afraid to break a few rules to nail a hardened criminal. Under false pretenses, Clenteen releases Alvin as bait to try to lure the "wolf" out of hiding. Alvin has no clue about being a prawn, er, pawn to try and capture what turns out to be Bristol, the craziest über-villain that side of the Hudson River. Bristol doesn't know where the

gold is located either, hence the suspense.
I expected a predictable film-by-the-numbers action flick, but Foxx's humorous deadpan and comic improv skills blend smoothly with the clever script by Hollywood vets Andrew Scheinman (A Few Good Men), Adam Scheinman (Mickey Blue Eyes), and Tony Gilroy (Armageddon).

Jamie Foxx stars as Alvin Sanders, a small-time thief who is used by the police as human bait to draw out a master criminal. Contributed photo
The talented supporting cast combines an earnest demeanor with subtle comic delivery that quietly mocks the brooding action drama (which was taken too seriously in Keanu Reeves' The Watcher) without undermining it. Morse (The Green Mile) plays the heavy that Hollywood has come to expect from him, while parodying it.
Def Comedy Jam veteran, Mike
Eps, plays Alvins' brother,
Stevie. Foxx and Epps' comic chemistry energizes every scene they're in. Jamie Kennedy (Scream) provides his usual wit and charm as the supercool, government cyberjock.
Hutchinson might be nominated for MTV Villain-of-the-Year for his role as Bristol. He matches his Michael Stipe look with a sick wit, unnerving voice and Bobby Knight temper. He played the sadistic
prison guard, Percy Wetmore, in The Green Mile. Considering Percy was such a memorable character, it mindblowing when you find out he is the same actor. If I hadn't told you, you would never have recognized him.
Among rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming and thrilling badminton matches, I'd sprint to the local theater to catch Bait, which opens tomorrow.

The Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield is a tradition for many area folk music fans.
For 21-year-old Thomas Shorock, Great Bend senior, this weekend will mark his 20th festival. Shorock said the folk and bluegrass event was popular with college students and that he was going to skip class on Friday to attend.
"It's a really good time to get back together with the family," he said. "And there are a lot of great acts."
For Shorock, the festival extends past just this weekend - he helps his father maintain the official festival Web site, www.wvfest.com.
The festival begins today and runs through Sunday. An estimated 13,000 people will attend this year, and parking and camping are available for all, said

Rex Flottman, a festival coordinator.
"It may get a little crowded, but we've never run out of places to camp," he said.
Flottman said the festival was known for its jam sessions at the campgrounds. Some visitors don't attend the official concerts and stay for the campground shows instead. There's even an unofficial stage in the campground where anyone can sign up to play. Flottman said many performers also spent time playing in the campground.
"It's a great opportunity for younger-age people to learn the traditions behind acoustic instruments," he said. "It seems like a lot of college-age kids have a renewed interest in this type of music."
Laura Dellinger, Wichita senior, couldn't agree more. She said she planned to attend the Winfield festival for her fourth time.
"They're not many opportunities to hear really good bluegrass in Kansas," she said. "The campsite seems to be the best part."
One tradition all newcomers should be prepared for is rain, said both Shorock and Dellinger. But Shorock said he thought the dry weather would hold.
"It doesn't look like it will rain, so it'll be a good year," Shorock said.
Dellinger disagreed
"I can't imagine the bluegrass festival without mud," he said.

Museum displays exiled artists' work in WWII exhibit
The pained expressions and resistant shapes and images are found in some of the works displayed in "Artists in Exile," an exhibit that opened Sept. 2 and will run through Sunday, Oct. 1; at the Spencer Museum of Art.
By Anne Robertson Special to the Kansan
Hard, haggard lines frame the eyes that stare back at you; angular shapes jut out at tortured angles.
"They were 'degenerate' artists, and their works were banned from public view, removed from museum collections, and in some cases destroyed." Sherman said. "The theme is that all artists were modernists. There weren't any landscapes, and Hitler only espoused landscapes and traditional portraiture and sculpture."
The prints and drawings were done by artists who were persecuted by the Nazi regime for their work, which was not necessarily meant to be political.
Artists such as Pablo Picasso and George Grosz were barred from exhibiting their work in German museums.
A free, public lecture series, "The Holocaust: Who knew What? When? Where?" by Professor Michael Marrus of the University of Toronto, will be at 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, in the Spencer auditorium. Edited by Kinchuk Thomas
The series is presented along with the International Conference on Exile Studies, which runs Thursday, Sept. 21, to Sunday, Sept. 24, at the Max Kade Center for German-American Studies.
Many of the pieces protest fascism and the inhumanities of war but do not represent a reaction to oppression. They represent survival and recovery.
"We chose to do an exhibition with artists who left Germany or Europe as a result of Nazism," said Andrea Norris, director of the museum. "But they were not works of art that were all done in direct response to Nazism."
"It was a request from the German department, and they asked if we could get together a visual display to go along with the topic of the symposium, which deals with exiles of World War II," said Cori Sherman, curatorial assistant for the print department, who organized the show.
Some of the art movements, such as Die Brucke and Der Blae Reiter, were intended as artistic statements that pushed artistic boundaries of the time. Because Hitler censored this form of expression, it became not only an artistic statement, but a political one as well, she said.

Jefferson's serves up cheap eats
By Amanda Kaschube and Amber Steuver Kansan food critics
Let's face it. After the third week of classes, most of your money has been spent on books, spiral notebooks and calls home to mom.
You're pinched for cash, but the A&W burger-and-fry combo isn't exactly what you had in mind for your Friday night date.
Enter Massachusetts Street's newest eatery.
Jefferson's, 743 Massachusetts St., is a college student's dining dream come true. By combining $1.40 drafts, a bizarre mix of cheap food options — burgers, wings and seafood — and a sporty atmosphere, Jefferson's provides an alternative to the Iowa Street franchise funk.
Owners Jeff and Rachel Webb knew what they were doing when they opened the original Jefferson's in the Deep South. Their second creation opened in Lawrence in June, serving home-cooked Southern cuisine.
Jefferson's prides itself on three main dishes: outstanding burgers, ovstrs and wings.
large portions and leave your mouth watering for more. The wings fit right into Jefferson's cheap theme too — 10 pieces for $4.25, 20 for $7.95 and for only $16.50.
While the burger tastes like any other run-of-the-mill patty, the wings — available in mild, medium, hot or turbo — come in
Jefferson's seafood options are a pleasant surprise to landlocked Kansans. Served in five unique styles, the oysters are amazingly cheap and fresh from the Gulf of Mexico. They're tasty — if you can get your hands on them. Fresh shipments come in weekly, but lateweek customers may find them hard to come by. A half-dozen of the seafood treats cost less than $4, while a dozen will only set you back $7.
But there are other options to satisfy your seafood cravings. Shrimp, crawfish, catfish baskets and crab legs are sure to shiver your timbers.
The menu also includes traditional sandwiches, salads, platters and a peanut burtie pie to

die for.
Jefferson's offers patrons cheap beer and large sodas for 93 cents. Mugs of beer are $1.14, and longnecks are only $1.75 on Monday nights. Other drink specials include $3 Bloody Marys on Tuesdaydays and $1 draws and $4.50 pitchers on Thursdays.
Hanging out at a restaurant may not be the hip thing to do on a Thursday night, but the sporty atmosphere at Jefferson's provides the perfect location for a pub crawl or place to watch your favorite baseball team. With several televisions placed in perfect viewing positions, you won't miss any of Sammy Sosa's home runs.
Massachusetts Street's newest bar and grill is a perfect choice for a Friday night date or watching a game with friends. And on a tight budget, you'll still have cash left to call mom and tell her all about it.

Groups to protest, give out handbills at game
By Kursten Phlols
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Three campus organizations want to send the message that sexual assault is not a University of Kansas tradition.
Delta Force, KU Pro-Choice Coalition and the Womyn's Empowerment Action Coalition plan to distribute handbills at tomorrow's home football game that denounce the Athletics Department's handling of allegations of sexual assault
Last spring, a female soccer player accused two KU football players of sexually assaulting her. She initially approached coach Terry Allen instead of going to the police. Later, it was revealed that Allen punished the players by making them run extra stairs at practice.
Allen and the Athletics Department apologized publicly for the handling of
the case, and Lawrence police are investigating the soccer player's allegations.
"We've been talking about it since last year, and it really angered a lot of us," said Justin Mills, Lansing senior and Delta Force vice president. "We want to make people aware of what's going on, and thought that the first home game was the best means of getting people aware of the situation."
Delta Force President Ben Burton said he expected 15 to 20 people to distribute about 4,000 handbills at tomorrow's game.
Delta Force distributed a flier Monday on campus that questioned the department's actions in the case. The flier asked why Allen did not go to the police and why he has been allowed to continue coaching. It also questioned why he was not punished for "obstructing justice."
The flier includes a photo of Allen, with the words, "Sexual assault is not a KU tradition. Why is this man going unpunished?"
Frederick said the department had publicly admitted its error in handling the situation and had taken educational measures during the summer and this fall to make student-athletes aware of sexual harassment and assault issues.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, said the flier was inaccurate because Allen did not obstruct justice.
"Quite frankly, I think coach Allen is being unfairly attacked," he said.
But Sally Puleo, a coordinator of the KU Pro-Choice Coalition and a member of the Womyn's Empowerment Action Coalition, said the department's actions were not sufficient.
"There clearly seems to be a 'boys will
be boys' attitude in the Athletics Department," said Puleo, a St. Charles, Ill., senior. "I would like to see an extensive education program implemented. And by extensive, I mean not just one night at the Lied Center every now and then, but an ongoing effort to combat the attitude that results in the tolerance of sexual assault."
Burton said that although the group has not planned any future protests, it was not out of the question, depending on the outcome of tomorrow's handbill distribution.
"Nothing's planned yet, but if enough people are pissed off, I would not be opposed to doing it again on Parents' Weekend," Burton said. "It would let parents know what kind of university they send their child to."

Student renters question cleaning, damage fees
By Matt Merkel-Hess
Kansan staff writer
A bill totaling $1,500 for cleaning and damages was not what Kevin Savtelle and his roommates expected after moving out of Jefferson Commons last month.
Sawtelle, Topeka senior, and his three roommates were charged their $800 deposit plus an extra $700 for cleanup and repairs.
"When they did the walk-through, we were told places would need a touch up here and there," Sawtelle said. "I don't know how they came up with the numbers."
Braxton Copley, staff attorney with Student Legal Services, said it was a landlord's right to charge a tenant for any damage to the unit, fees that are listed and late fees incurred during the tenancy. Landlords cannot charge for reasonable wear and tear, he said.
He said a landlord had 30 days after a tenant moved out to either refund a deposit or charge for cleaning and damage.
He said students must meet all requirements in their leases.
"One thing that I'm seeing a lot of is that landlords in their lease agreements are putting things like, "Carpets must be professionally steam-cleaned at end of tenancy," Copley said. "It prevents student from renting a $20 rug doctor."
According to the Kansas Residential Landlord/Tenant Act, a landlord must deliver to the tenant an itemized note of damage or cleaning needed, but evidence such as cleaning bills and photographs were not required. Copley said.
"If you are over 18 and you sign a contract, you are deemed to have read it, understood it fully, and agreed to it fully." Couley said.
"Some landlords do provide it just to avoid a suit," he said. "But the landlord certainly is under no legal duty to provide that to the client."
Eve Horn, vice president and divisional manager for property management with
LANDLORD/TENANT PROBLEMS
Braxton Copley, staff attorney with Legal Services for Students, said if students had problems with landlords they could set up an appointment for free help. "We're available to anyone who is currently enrolled," he said. "We could help investigate if students think they have a problem."
Students can call Legal Services for Students at 864-5665.
the student housing division of JPI, which owns Jefferson Commons, said that if someone felt they had been unfairly charged, JPI would investigate on a case-by-case basis.
"If there was an error, we definitely will make that good with people," she said.
Before moving out, Sawtelle and his roommates received a general itemized letter spelling out what the costs would be if they failed to clean up properly. The list was distributed to all complex residents.
Roommate Ben Robinson, Prairie Village sophomore, said the move-out experience was unorganized compared to other apartment complexes he had lived in.
"I cleaned everything they gave us on the list to what I thought was perfection," he said. "The way I see it is the four of us left the apartment cleaner than when we moved in."
The roommates were charged $125 for the cost of cleaning the kitchen. Another roommate, Jeff Barnett, Kansas City, Kan. senior, said he was charged $100 for the cost of cleaning his bathroom, which he said was ridiculous.
The property was brand new when the students moved in," she said. "Basically, the bottom line is if we had to incur costs to repair the unit we charged the resident."
"My definition of reasonable and their definition are totally different," he said. Horn said that students were taking a chance by living in new apartments.

New garage shuttle to aid parking fans
By Rob Pazell
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas football fans who plan ahead don't have to worry about getting around at tomorrow's home opener.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said careful planning could shorten delays and help fans find a good parking spot.
"Those people coming to the game need to plan ahead and arrive early," he said. "The closer you get to kickoff, the more congested it gets."
The Parking Department will charge $10 to park in the east garage near Memorial Stadium and $5 to park in the west garage near Allen Fieldhouse. A shuttle will be available and will cost $2.
Students will also have an easier chance to get to the game. The Athletics Department is sponsoring a free shuttle bus for students from the residence halls on Daisy Hill and Jayhawker Towers.
Rick Mullen, director of promotions, said students who participated in focus groups said it was a hassle to get to the game.
"Our effort is to get the students to the games," Mullen said. "If it can alleviate the hassle for some students, than it is well worth it."
The shuttle will pick up students from the residence halls on Daisy Hill and drop them off in front of Strong Hall. Students can then walk down Campanile hill to Memorial Stadium. The shuttle will stop at all stops from Daisy Hill to Strong Hall.
Mullen said the department had one bus rented for game days, which will run two hours before the game, but only twice after.
When traffic gets heavy, officers will close Mississippi Street between the Spencer Art Museum and 11th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard between the Chi Omega fountain and Sunflower Road. Officers will direct cars to alternate routes.
KU public safety officers will be directing traffic beginning at about 3 p.m., and will direct traffic flow after the game.
There will be two lanes of southbound traffic on West Campus Road, making neighborhoods north of the stadium accessible.
"It is important that people living in neighborhoods next to the stadium get home if they need to before the same ends." Malen said.
He said that it generally took 30 minutes for traffic to calm down, but that the Jayhawks' performance could change that. He said that if the 'Hawks played well and more fans stayed to the end, that would keep more roads open and more traffic flowing in one direction.

University raises prices in campus vending machines
Bv Melissa Davis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students who buy food from campus vending machines might be surprised that their "snack attack" is really feasting on their wallets.
David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, said the University initiated the price increase — the first in three years — to meet the demands from Treat America, the company that stocks the vending machines.
Not only have the price of Coca-Cola products gone up, but now the University of Kansas, along with Treat America, has increased prices for snacks in vending machines on campus.
"The institution was responding to a request from Treat America to meet cost increase," he said.
The partnership council, which is in charge of the price increase, consists of Klinkenberg and Mucci, along with Jim Long, assistant provost for facilities management and planning; Pat Warren, associate director of athletics; Victoria Silva, resource conservation manager; and representatives from Coca-Cola and Treat America.
Theresa Klinkenberg, University director of administration, said the price increase ranged from 6 to
20 percent,depending on the item. For example,a package of M&M's in campus vending machines now costs 75 cents, which is up from last week's price of 60 cents.
Mucci said the purpose of the council was to address issues related to the University's contracts with Coca-Cola and Treat America.
David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, said the University received a certain amount of money up front and a percentage of both companies' sales.
"Last year we got 10 percent commission, which equaled $30,000," Klinkenberg said.
She said the increase was consistent campus-wide and the vending machines accepted smart cards.
Bill Griffith, Chicago junior, said the price increase was unbelievable.
Klinkenberg said students who used their smart cards on vending machines would receive between a 10 and 15 percent discount.
"I didn't like the increase because 85 cents was outrageous for a Coke, then it goes up to $1," he said.
Griffith also said that although he was against the increase, he understood the University's motives.
"It's all part of a business. The University is a business," he said. "If we're stupid enough to still buy the vending machine food, then we can't blame them for raising the price."

Theta Chi senior places high for national award
A member of Theta Chai fraternity was runner-up for an award given to the top undergraduate in the country from his fraternity.
Ryan Gerstner, Frankfort senior, said he was the first man from his chapter to place that high for the Colley Award, which is usually reserved for seniors.
The award was given out at the fraternity's national convention July 15 in Indianapolis.
Gerstner received the award, which has been given out since 1929, for his work as a junior last year.
"The award is based on what you've done for the chapter and the school you're at," Gerstner said. "They also base it on academics, community service and leadership conferences you've attended."
Gerstner said people who won the award usually went on to a position of prominence with the national organization.

Deadly weapons found in rented storage locker
Five high-caliber weapons — at least two stolen — were discovered Sept. 6 in a rented storage locker in the 600 block of Maple Street, Lawrence police said.
The locker had been rented to a 23 year-old male, but he had not paid the bill, Det. M.T. Brown said. An ABP Storage employee said the contract stated that once a bill was 30 days overdue, the contents of the locker would be moved and auctioned.
When an employee cut the lock off the locker, he discovered an SKS 7.62 mm rifle, a 9 mm rifle, a .357-caliber Magnum revolver, a .22-caliber rifle and a 20-gauge shotgun, Brown said. The employee also found ammunition.
Brown said two of the guns, listed as stolen in burglaries from Lafayette County and Kansas City, Mo., were identified by their serial numbers. Brown said the other guns matched the description of guns stolen in the same robberies but did not have serial numbers.
Brown said the whereabouts of the man who rented the locker were unknown.

Peltier: has been in Leavenworth Federal Prison 24 years
13th streets on Massachusetts Street.
Peltier is an indigenous rights activist who was convicted in the shooting deaths of two FBI agents. He has been in the Leavenworth Federal Prison for 24 years
Many people fighting for his release believe that Peltier is a political prisoner charged with a crime he did not commit.
The party, which will run from noon to 2 p.m., will celebrate Peltier's birthday, which was Tuesday. The event also will try to involve more Lawrence community members in the call for Peltier's release.
Debra Peebles, KKFI radio host, and Alexandra Peltier, Peltier's granddaughter, will speak. Supporters will be able to participate in a letter-writing session to Rep. Dennis Moore and President Bill Clinton and listen to readings from Peltier's book, "Prison Writings; My Life is My Sundance."
According to a press release issued by the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee, Peltier's last chance for parole in the near future is a grant of executive clemency, which can be granted only by President Clinton. Because Clinton's term is almost up, Peltier supporters across the country are intensifying their call for his release.

Advisers reject proposal allowing gay male donors
The Associated Press
GAITHERSBURG, Md. — Government scientists narrowly rejected a proposal to ease the ban on gay male blood donors yesterday, citing concern that there wasn't enough evidence about how the move might affect the AIDS risk to the nation's blood supply.
All men who seek to donate blood are asked if they have had sex, even once, with another man since 1977. Those who admit they have are permanently banned from donating blood.
The Food and Drug Administration asked its scientific advisers Thursday whether it should change the blood-donation rule to ban only men who had sex with another man within the last five years.
The advisers voted 7-6 that there was not enough evidence that it was safe to make that change. The FDA is not bound by its advisers' decisions but typically follows them.
Changing the policy would have resulted in about 62,300 gay men — or men who had experimented with homosexual activity only once — seeking to donate blood, estimated FDA medical officer Dr. Andrew Dayton. From them, 1.7 HIV-infected units of blood might sneak into the blood supply, he said.
The issue has split the blood industry. Half of the nation's blood banks support easing the policy even more — to one year instead of five — while the American Red Cross imposes any change.
All donated blood undergoes strict testing for the AIDS virus and other blood-borne diseases — that would not have changed. But testing isn't perfect. Of the nation's 12 million units of donated blood, about 10 HIV-infected units slip through each year, causing about two to three HIV infections a year, said Dr. Michael Busch of the University of California-San Francisco.

Officials to change University Web address
By Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students tired of spelling out "ukans" when giving out their KU e-mail address may be glad to know that the University of Kansas is considering a new Internet domain name.
The current domain, www.ukans.edu, isn't associated with the University by people outside of campus, administrators say. They are considering two alternatives: ku.edu, a domain the University owns that already links to the KU home page when typed into a Web browser, and ukansas.edu.
"The problem is, 'ukans' is not intuitive," said Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services. "Who would ever think of that when looking for our Web site?" "KU could be

could only be here."
Micki Prinster St. Charles, Mo., sophomore
Inc., the Virginia-based company that handles the registration of all edu domains on the World Wide Web, allowed universities only two domains each. The "ukans" name would have to be retained as one of those until it is phased out, she said.
Goodyear said she hoped to present a decision on which domain to use within the next couple weeks. While there is no set time line for the transition, planning would begin shortly after that, she said.
Some staff members feel the KU designation is not known to people outside the University who don't follow its sports teams, she said.
Micki Prinster, St. Charles, Mo., sophomore, agreed. She said she thought the "ukanas" domain name made the most sense.
"KU could be associated with other schools, but ukansas' could only be here," she said.

'For the Record' Revue theme
Bv J.D. McKee
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The theme for Rock Chalk Revue was revealed last night to the representatives of the 12 living organizations that will compete in this year's production.
"For the Record" will be the theme about which each group will write, produce and perform a play.
"We wanted to make people think of community service as well," said Mandy Hanson, executive director of the fund-raising event, which will benefit the United Way of Douglas County. "So it has a meaning for us and a meaning for them."
Hanson also said "For the Record" could have multiple meanings for the
groups.
"It could be a music record, an athletic record, a legal record," she said. Representatives from the groups were optimistic about the theme.
"There are a lot of good possibilities," said Travis Langner, Overland Park junior. "This is one of the better themes I've heard of."
Dave Bednarczyk, Overland Park sophomore, also was pleased with the theme.
"It's going to be exciting," he said. "A lot of the preliminary ideas we've worked on can be incorporated into this."
The groups were made up mostly of a consortium of fraternities and sororities. Residence and scholarship halls are also eligible to compete.
Only five of the entries will be accepted to perform at the Revue, which will take March 8,9 and 10.
Each group must deliver to the judge a notebook that contains all the information about its play, including things like the script, characters and set designs, said Stephanie McNeil, executive producer of the show.
"It has to be everything they've created." McNeil said.
The groups must then go before the judges in an oral interview and perform a five-minute skit which will summarize the show.
Last year, the Revue donated about $36,500 and more than 30,000 hours of community service to the United Way. Edited by Kathryn Moore
China executes corrupt high official
The Associated Press
BELIJING — A senior Chinese legislator who took almost $5 million in bribes in hopes of marrying his mistress was executed yesterday in a highly publicized case meant to convince an angry public that communist leaders are stamping out rampant corruption.
Cheng Kejie, vice chairman of China's national legislature, became the highest-ranking figure put to death for corruption since the communists came to power in 1949.
Hours after the execution was announced, portions of the 66-year-old Cheng's trial in July were shown on national television, adding to a propaganda campaign meant to show official determination to attack abuses at even the highest levels.
Cheng was convicted of extorting $4.9 million while he was the governor of Guangxi, a poor southern region.
Earlier reports said that beginning in 1992, he took payoffs for land deals, building contracts, promotions and allocations of subsidized commodities.
The case illustrated the pervasive corruption that is costing China's struggling economy heavily and undermining public acceptance of communist rule. A recent series of unusually candid reports by China's auditor general accuse officials of stealing or squandering billions of dollars in a country with an average per capita income of about $700.
Almost daily, Chinese state media announce officials being punished for corruption, though most are low-ranking. More than 132,000 officials received penalties for misconduct last year that range up to death sentences, according to the China Daily newspaper. Cheng's case featured prominently in a Beijing museum exhibition on economic crime.
Cheng was put to death by the No.1 Intermediate People's Court in Beijing
after China's highest court rejected his second appeal, the official Xinhua News Agency said. It quoted the Sept. 7 ruling by the Supreme People's Court as saying Cheng "severely damaged the normal work order of government agencies and created an extremely pernicious influence on society."
A commentary in Friday editions of the Communist Party newspaper People's Daily said his case showed the party was capable of eliminating corruption within the party, according to Xinhua. It called the case a warning to party members and officials.
According to the official account, Cheng's partner in crime was his married lover, Li Ping. Both planned to divorce their spouses and marry each other. Li has been sentenced to life in prison for handling Cheng's bribs. The Supreme People's Court, which upheld her sentence last week, said she did so to keep him free of suspicion.
Residence halls might see more cash-to-card units
By Karen Lucas
writer@kansan.cc
Kansan staff writer
The absence of a cash-to-card machine in McCollum Hall keeps Chris Nieburg from using his smart card more often to buy soft drinks and do his laundry there.
"The closest cash-to-card machine to McCollum is Hashinger Hall, and I usually run out of money on the card, and it's not worth
the trip," said Nieburg, St. Louis sophomore. "It's easier to use the change machine."
Nieburg and other students who live in residence halls without cash-to-card machines may be one step closer to getting them.
Nancy Miles, University of Kansas card administrator, said she was planning to submit a proposal that would add machines to six more residence halls: Gertrude-Sellards Pearson, Corbin, McCollum, Templin, Lewis and Ellsworth halls.
"We tried to put them in locations that would be convenient

and in close proximity to where cardholders would use their card." Miles said.
A cash-to-card machine costs about $3,000. The KU card center also picked up the cost of maintaining the machines and paying a security firm to collect the cash, Miles said.
She said the card center welcomed input from cardholders. Some students contacted her last spring and this fall about the need for more cash-to-card machines in the residence halls.
But the residence halls are not the only places where cardholders feel cash-to-card machines are needed.
Hofman said that not knowing where most cash-to-card machines were located on campus was another inconvenience.
Jack Hofman, associate professor of anthropology, said he would use his smart card in Fraser Hall, where he has an office, if there were a machine in the building.
Such a list is posted on the Web at www.ukans.edu/-kucard. Mary Ann Graham, manager of the card center, said fliers listing the locations were available at the center. Incoming students who attended summer orientation also received the fliers in their packets.

Perspective
Perspective Politics butts into progress of medicine
Once again, science is rearing its ugly head in the realm of politics. And once again our valiant politicians in
Kansas are on the warpath to save us from immoral scientists and researchers. How sacrilegious those geneticists are to think they can take human cells and attempt to generate human organs. Obviously, there is no need for this expensive and risky research because we have a solid network of organ donation and are developing pharmaceutical options for those with Parkinson's, spinal cord injuries and damaged heart tissue.
If you can't recognize my sarcastic tone, I am disappointed with some politicians' choices not to support scientific standards and research. Unfortunately, Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas is one of the politicians that wishes to block legislation supporting research on stem cells, or undifferentiated cells, based on moral issues. I do not comprehend the rationale behind attempting to cease research in what the National Institute of Health deems "treatments and possible cures" for chronic diseases ranging from diabetes to multiple sclerosis. What exactly are stem
you care? Every cell in our body has a function — cardiac muscle cells force blood through the arteries and veins in our bodies, epithelial cells cover our skin and protect us from the elements and neurons transmit messages from the brain to different areas of the body. Every specialized cell was at one point in our development a stem cell; DNA had not yet sent the commands to the cell delineating them into their future components. Stem cells are blank slates for nature or a geneticist to manipulate. Just take a minute to think of the medical potential: Human tissue can now be generated in a laboratory for those who are terminally ill. The extreme pain and suffering people go through could be averted if scientists are allowed to continue their research.

What exactly are stem cells, and why should
Corey Snyder
guest columnist
option@kansai.com
Current options for patients with serious diseases are limited to pharmacological treatments and organ donation. In the past twenty years, great strides have been made with drug development. Several studies on treating spinal cord injuries have shown promising results when the patient just takes a pill. Amazing as that is, a "cure" for spinal cord injuries and many other ailments is far from being a reality. Organ donation is an immediate fix to the problem, but donations have declined in the past few years. Nearly 60 people receive transplants each day, but another 16 people are added to the waiting list. It would seem reasonable that geneticists could lend a helping hand with stem cell research.
Conservative lawmakers such as Brownback have opposed the continuation of stem cell research for several ethical reasons. Many believe that because stem cells are essentially embryos, genetic research is being performed on human beings. Also, some stem cells have been obtained with consent from terminated pregnancies. This is the premise that strikes some people as immoral.
The National Institute for Health has gone to great lengths to prevent ethical controversy over the collection of stem cells for research. Under their regulations stem cells must first be pluripotent, which means that most of an organisms organs and tissues can develop from the cell not the whole organism. Even if the embryonic stem cells were transplanted into a woman's uterus, the cells would not develop into a fetus. Also, the cells must be collected with the consent of the woman terminating a pregnancy or when fertility donations are in excess.
As science continues to develop new ways to prolong life and alleviate pain, society must be ready to accept new and potentially revolutionary treatments. The shortsightedness of our nation's leaders in these manners is not only unfortunate for the progression of science but also tragic for those with hope of being cured of disease. Stopping stem cell research now denies thousands of people a second chance at living — is that moral?

Letters to the editor
Raising prices would be just another form of discrimination
I am writing in response to Cassio Furtado's editorial on the dress code at Flanigans ("International student affected by dress code," yesterday). I don't think that being from another country makes him any more impartial than any of the rest of us who come from places where Abercrombie and FUBU are not incredible status symbols.
I think that he totally disregards the differences in socioeconomic status between people when he states that the " easiest way to draw the line ... is to raise the price." Well, guess what, raising the price so that a select few can get in is still discriminatory, brand-name clothes or not.
Why raising the price is the easiest solution is beyond me. How about not being as judgemental of others' appearances? I don't think that Flanigans has any more of a right to a certain type of customer expectation.
Otherwise, he has to face the fact that he owns a social establishment and look beyond outer appearance. Give it a thought. Maybe it is just a matter of opening your mind a little bit by considering that this whole policy was in fact a bad idea in the first place.
It is a restaurant/bar, and most people go to these types of places. If Jack wants to have only certain-clothed people surround him, then he can invite those people to his house.

Congress members' suits, ties show respect, not superiority
I was first amused, then a bit distressed, by Rupali Limaye's recent column advocating a more casual style of dress for our nation's elected officials ("Power suits alienate politicans from voters," Monday). She writes that the wearing of "expensive power suits ... gives a somewhat descending impression" that somehow alienates the "common, everyday person." For starters, I'd wager that she hasn't shopping for men's suits recently, but if so, she'd know that you don't have to be Bill Gates to dress like a gentleman.
What she fails to realize is that by always wearing suits and ties, members of Congress and other leaders are showing respect for the important offices they hold. Ronald Reagan, for example, never once removed his suit coat in the Oval Office, so concerned was he to uphold the dignity of the presidency. The unfortunate trend towards casual dress suggests a slackening of reverence for the seriousness of one's job, whether in business, education, or in politics. It conveys an image of sloppiness, implying that a person doesn't hold his/her clients, students or constituents in a very high regard. Now that's condescending.
Too often we hear of our nation's leaders cheapening and disrespecting their offices with their bad behavior — we hardly need them addressing us wearing shorts and Hooters T-shirts.
John H. McCool Evansville, Ind., graduate student
Editorial Test scores not best measure
University should focus more on rewarding students for hard work.
A university should challenge every student who walks through its doors and wants to learn, both those who are already comfortable with academics and those who aren't. The University of Kansas 'push for National Merit Scholars excludes and ignores the students who are already at the University.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway has made recruitment of National Merit Scholars a priority since his arrival. Although it's wonderful to reward students who score well on standardized tests, the University should channel most of its resources into retaining students already enrolled, providing them with the best services and offering scholarship rewards to students who have worked hard.
Students who score well on tests are not necessarily the ones who go into the world and become pioneering scholars and thinkers. Sometimes, a different kind of student deserves encouragement.
The best interests of students as a whole aren't being served. Although the University set a record with its incoming class of 116 National Merit Scholars, there is more to a student body than its high school test scores.
Despite increasing numbers of merit scholars, U.S. News and World Report demoted the University in its national ranking of public universities.
Such a juxtaposition of rankings provokes the question why a chancellor would boast of 116 students' successes when more than 20,000 other students might not be getting the best education possible.
National Merit Scholars deserve to be rewarded and appreciated. So do the numerous other students who support themselves and manage to excel in their studies.
When the administration measures the vibrancy of the University based on the number of National Merit Scholars, it sends a powerful message to the rest of the students: The University cares more about collecting prestigious trophies than it does about creating better education for everyone.

Student-athletes to address assault
By Karen Lucas
writer@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
A group of KU student-athletes will attempt to make a difference on and off campus by addressing the issue of sexual assault.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee proposed a Student-Athlete Response Team at its meeting Tuesday. The team would work with Athletics Department administration and the community, said Gary Kempf, committee sponsor and director of student-athlete life and coaches development. Response team members have not yet been named.
"I think it's a fantastic idea," Kempf said. "I think it shows that the athletes are aware of many different situations on campus and would like to help and be supportive wherever possible."
The committee's proposal came just one day after the Kansan published an article about the results of a recent survey of about 300 student-athletes at the University of Kansas. According to the survey, 11 student-athletes said they had been victims of sexual assault.
Yet Kempf said the survey was not the only
driving force behind the proposal.
"We've been working on a response to sexual violence for a while now." Kempf said.
He also said the team would have two primary goals — to play a supportive role if other incidents of sexual assault were to occur on campus, and to inform the public about the problem by speaking in local schools and elsewhere in the community.
Bethany Lero, Erie freshman, said she thought the team would make people on campus pay more attention to sexual violence.
"If the athletes stand up and speak out, that will help others do the same: Be more open about it." she said.
Lero also said that if the student-athletes had a positive outlook, children would look up to them as role models.
Mike Palomba, Somers, N.Y., junior, expressed a slight reservation about the team, however.
"As long as they're doing it with positive intentions and not just to make student-athletes as a group look better than recent events have shown, the whole idea is worthwhile." Palomba said.
Leaders discuss Jerusalem's future
NEW YORK — The Clinton administration renewed its efforts yesterday to end a deadlock between Israel and the Palestinians about the future of Jerusalem. Hanging in the balance was a long-sought settlement of their half-century dispute.
— Edited by Shawn Hutchinson
The Associated Press
"This is the most delicate subject." Albright said at a news conference as her senior aide, Dennis B. Ross, was meeting with Palestinian negotiators and before her own dinner meeting with the Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami.
They tried to find a compromise between Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's demand for sovereignty with East Jerusalem and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's offer of some local Palestinian control.
U. S. diplomacy includes a call at the White House on Friday by senior Palestinian official Nabil Shaath to talk to Sandy Berger, President Clinton's assistant for national security.
The new talks were announced Wednesday, the deadline Israel and the Palestinians had set last year for a final settlement. While there is no agreement, the Palestinians' Central Council this week deferred for two months a decision whether to declare statehood.
Albright said yesterday that gave her some "breathing room" and that she would use it.

TOO MUCH CREDIT
Convenience of credit cards tempts broke college students to accrue debt, pay interest
By Mindle Miller writer@kansan.com Kansan campus editor
J
on DeLeon dreads opening his mailbox each day.
He's afraid he might find what he knows is inevitable — a stack of credit card bills.
DeLeon, a Spring 2019 graduate who has three major credit cards, said the spending habits he picked up as a student are costing him now.
He's not alone. Thousands of college students plunge into credit card debt each year. The average undergraduate student carries 3.2 credit cards and $1,843 in debt, according to Nellie Mae, a national student loan provider. Graduate students average six credit cards and $5,179 debt.
Detect chats gigs up over the Internet with a credit card," he said. "I just start browsing and seeing stuff that grabs my attention. It's on-the-spot — kind of impulsive."
DeLeon charges up most of his debt online.
The 23-year-old logs on two or three times a week to buy baseball and football tickets and to order shot glasses to bolster his already large collection. His latest cyber-shopping spree has focused on sports memorabilia.
"I can say, 'I don't need this,'" DeLeon said. "But it's called temptation, and temptation always wins. Half the stuff in my apartment I don't need, but it just looks so good."
He admits his spending tirades are frivolous.
Phyllis Harrison, a credit counselor at the Topeka office of Consumer Credit Counseling, said college students were particularly prone to accumulating debt.
Plastic free for all
"You've got a lot of college students who are having to supplement their income with a credit card," she said. "It starts off very innocent, and I think it just snowballs before they realize what's happened. Most college students start out thinking the card is for books, but it ends up being for pizza, beer or parties."
DeLeon said he had good intentions for his credit card.
For better or worse, credit cards aren't hard to come by. Web surfers who apply for credit online can be approved almost instantly. Students constantly find offers stuffed in their mailboxes or lurking in their shopping bags when they buy textbooks.
"I thought it would be a good security blanket," he said. "But that blanket has been lit on fire — it's en fuego—and it's out of control."
Brenda Selman, associate registrar, said the University could not legally release students' names under Kansas law, but that credit card companies had other ways of reaching students. The University phone book is readily accessible, Selman said, and many companies partner with student organizations and set up tables to do solicitation.
Lindsey Bosilevac, Overland Park freshman, started getting credit card offers in the mail three months ago — after she was accepted to the University but before she moved out of her parents' house.
Bosilevac sat on Wescoe Beach last Friday, filling out an application for an AT&T Universal Card. Pop music drifted from a stereo at a booth that promised $50 in free gifts just for completing an application. Bosilevac took the bait.
they pre-approved students.
"If there's no bad credit or no credit, they say, 'We'll take a chance,'" she said. "And they get lucky that the majority of the people will pay and will pay the interest. It's a billion-dollar-a-year industry just in interest alone."
"I have 40 minutes between classes ... and there's free stuff," she said. Often, students without a job or credit history discover they've been pre-approved for a credit card. Harrison said companies gambled when they pre-approved students.
Chancy convenience
Part of the allure of credit cards, DeLeon said, is that they are almost universally accepted.
"I don't carry any cash anymore because I know all the places will accent credit cards," he said.
accept credit cards, the sales That ubiquitous acceptance carries over into the online world — a venue that Harrison said was particularly appealing to college students.
"It's a generation that's more technology oriented," she said. "They grew up with computers at home and in school."
Whether charging online from the privacy of their apartments or edging toward their credit limits during mall shopping excursions, students risk plummeting into financial woes if they lose sight of their pri-
offers:
Harrison said that for a cardholder making the minimum payment — $10 to $15 — on a balance of $2,000 at 18 percent interest, it would take eight to 13 years to pay off his or her debt. And if the cardholder misses a payment, Harrison said, the late fees often put them over their credit limits.
orities.
"There's no cap in Kansas," she said. "So usually, when you miss a payment, it's an open door on the credit card to jack up your interest. Companies used to close those accounts out. Now they leave it to where you can continue to charge, and you continue to get an over-limit fee."
Credit card companies have tried to make it convenient for e-shoppers to manage their accounts online. DeLeon is able to make payments, check his balances and view recent activities — all from credit card Web sites.
To prevent debt, Harrison said students should read the fine print and be sure to get cards with low credit limits and low interest rates.
be sure to get cards from DeLeon is trying to use his credit cards less, and he's slowly working his way out of debt. But he still gets a charge out of his virtual shopping spree.
"Plastic is my new best friend," he said.
Tips for avoiding credit card debt
- Use the card for its intended purpose — usually emergencies.
- Don't carry the card with you at all times — it's too tempting.
- Get a card with a low credit limit. If the company tries to increase the credit line, ask them not to.
- Shop for a card with a low interest rate.
- Find out the amounts for late fees and overdrawn charges.
- Estimate your credit capacity. You should not be spending any more than 15 percent of your total income on car payment, credit cards and other debt.

Equestrian team not the solution for Kansas State
Kansas State did its good deed of the year in the spring by adding a women's varsity sport in the spirit of Title IX, which gave women equality in sports.
The university went for the obvious choice women's equestrian.
Whoa. Trigger.
K-State is the only Big 12 Conference school without a soccer team and one of two with no softball team. Colorado has no varsity softball, or baseball for that matter. The Wildcats could have used the opportunity to field either of these popular sports.
Instead, K-State joined Oklahoma State as the only conference schools competing in the equine sport.
The department of animal sciences at K-State will build the EquiCenter, which, from its artist sketches, looks as though it will be pricey. It will house an arena, polo area and rodeo and equestrian team barns. More than 100 women attended an informational meeting for the equestrian sports, so there is some popularity, but other sports waiting for funding were unfortunately denied.
Women's equestrian has validity but only when sports such as softball and soccer are already available. Equestrian is an example of a sport that's lesser known and needs male and female teams to draw more support.
This isn't a wise economic decision for the Wildcats. Yes, a softball or soccer field would cost money, but those sports would also attract a strong amount of local talent. It's probably a safe bet that soccer or softball will attract larger crowds, which translates into revenue and contracts. The women's equestrian team probably hasn't etched any deals with Nike or Reebok.
To see a better understanding of Title IX, Kansas State needs to look east on I-70 to Lawrence.
The University of Kansas has four sports strictly for women, and six that field both men's and women's teams. K-State will have two sports exclusively for women with the equestrian addition.
Although the Kansas Athletics Department needs to follow through on commitments to a new track facility, a new softball field and, most urgently, a boathouse for the rowing team, the department has strong women's teams.
Jayhawk sports have a reputation for strength. Women's basketball has built a strong tradition, and the volleyball team has a coach who brings stability and winning to a program that hasn't had a great deal of either in the past. Softball has sent teams to the NCAA tournament in the past.
Plus, one of the most recent Title IX additions has made the most rapid climb to national prominence.
The Kansas rowing team has been ranked nationally the last two years with only five years of existence. The Jayhawks were arguably seconds away from advancing to the NCAA championships last spring.
K-State also has its share of sports tradition and strength. The Wildcats have become a national power in volleyball, cross country and football.
But an equestrian team isn't the answer to broaden athletic opportunities in Manhattan.

Jayhawks anticipate chance to turn season around early
By Jason Franchuk
Kansan sports writer
sports.kansan.com
Along with being the Butcher on the field, Carl Ne Smith is the Kansas football team's foremost hacker.
A novice golfer, the Jayhawks' safety is still learning the terminology of the sport, like 'mulligan,' when a golfer hits a ball off into the trees, and then gets another shot.
Allen and the Jayhawks know that football mulligans are just like the golf variety: To redirect this season, there's just one shot.
The team hopes that tomorrow against Alabama-Birmingham will be its redo to salvage the season.
"I'm nervous about this game," coach Terry Allen said. "We need to make some positive things happen early."
Allen remains positive about this team, but his confidence has been more subdued since Kansas lost its opener two weeks ago at Southern Methodist.
"We need this one real bad," junior cornerback Andrew Davison said. "The other one

could have been huge, but it's nothing compared to these next two."
Davison has been one of Kansas' biggest critics. After losing in Dallas, Davison spoke of how he was distraught returning to Lawrence. He did not want to talk to friends back home in Detroit. He was embarrassed walking to his classes two days later when he felt the glares of fellow students.
"We were supposed to have that game," he said. "We weren't supposed to just win, we were supposed to blow them out. Then we get home, and I couldn't even stand to wear my Kansas football shirt.
Everybody thinks right now that we're the same old team. We're not."
This is the time for Davison and the rest of the Jayhawks to prove that, a spot at redemption that could rescue this year. A loss to the Blazers, hypothetically, could cause an avalanche of headaches. Despite all the speculation, Allen insisted he felt no more urgency to win tomorrow than he did any other game.
This is just another chance for the Jayhawks to play again, and to do it at home where they have been exponentially more successful.
"I can't wait to get back out there," said wide receiver Harrison Hill, who will return after missing most of the preseason and the opener because of chronic dehydration. "We're going to be at home, in front of our fans. It's going to be excited."
Besides Hill, Kansas also will get NeSmith back after he missed the SMU game when Allen suspended him for a conduct violation.
"He's kind of the heart of our defense," Davison said. "He's also the mouth. He gets us going."

Surface conditions force soccer team to Overland Park

The players are ready; their home field isn't
After playing the season's first six games on the road, the Kansas women's soccer team (3-3) was supposed to enjoy a homefield advantage against two non-conference foes this weekend — Mississippi at 4 p.m. tomorrow and Southwest Missouri State at 1 p.m. Sunday — in the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Soccer Classic.
But because of the bad surface conditions of SuperTarget Field in Lawrence, the tournament has been moved to Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park.
"Obviously, it's a big disadvantage for us not being able to play on our own field," coach Mark Francis said. "It's like playing another away game."
Sophinore disliked the change but supported the decision.
"I'd hate to have a team come in this field representing our school. It just looks really bad on us," she said. "I think playing on a better surface is going to help us mentally. We're not going to have to worry about bumps on the field or anything. It's going to be a lot more controlled game."

Despite the loss of the homefield advantages, Brown, who was named defensive player of last week's California-Irvine Tournament in Irvine, Calif., said that the team was ready for the tough competition.
"I definitely think we've been improving every game so that it's going to be healthy for us to see how we hold up against a good team," she said. "It'll be a close game."
Jennifer Ray, a freshman midfielder and last week's Newcomer of the Week in the Big 12 Conference, agreed that the team is prepared to play against tough opponents.
"I don't think the record on paper reflects the way we've been playing," she said. "There's been more than one occasion where we should have won the game we lost."
Ray said the team should have won four or five games instead of three.
Ole Miss (3-2) will head into the tournament on the heel of last Friday's 5-1 victory against Southern Mississippi. The Rebels finished last season with a 14-9 record, including a 3-1 victory against Kansas.
Southwest Missouri State has lost three of its last four matches, but is capable of mass-producing goals as evidenced by a 7-0 win against Arkansas State. Kansas defeated the Bears 3-1 last season in Springfield, Mo.
The two non-conference teams will kick off the tournament at 4 p.m. today as they face each other.
"Mississippi is going to be a tough game. They are a very good team." Francis said.
He said Southwest Missouri had a more physical style of game.
But Francis still expects to win the tournament. "Players are getting used to each other and understanding the system better," he said. "If we show up and play well both games, we should win it."

Kansas faces Big 12 road battle
Undefeated Jayhawks plan to prove themselves against Texas A&M
By Sarah Warren
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Even though the Kansas volleyball team has one Big 12 Conference challenge out of the way, the Jayhawks face yet another when they take on Texas A&M tonight in College Station. Texas.
Kansas heads to the Lone Star State with a 9-10 record following a win against Colorado Wednesday night. The No. 19 Aggies, meanwhile, are 4-3 and 0-1 in Big 12 play after a defeat at the hands of unranked Missouri.
"Anytime you play in our conference, you're going up against the best in the country," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "Texas A&M included."
Although the Aggies can be defeated, as the Tigers proved Wednesday night, they have never lost to the Jayhawks.
"These girls are really learning what they can do out there," he said. "They really do battle."
leading the all-time series 9-0.
Indeed, Bechard said that he had confidence that his players could do anything they put their minds to.
And the Jayhawks are going to have to do battle with Texas A&M much like they did against Colorado this week.
"We just need to come out and play hard if we're going to beat them," said Danielle Geronymo, senior middle block. "And we can do that."
If Texas A&M and Kansas battle the way Kansas and Colorado dueled, the match at 6 tonight could keep the fans at G. Rolling White Coliseum in their seats for a couple of hours of action. The Kansas-Colorado match lasted two-and-a-half hours and five matches until the Javahawks won on a net violation.
According to junior setter Molly LaMere, the 'Hawks don't expect to go
"Texas A&M is very similar to Colorado," Bechard said. "They have more upperclassmen, more experience, though."
quietly into the night tonight, either.
To gain the respect of the Big 12, the Jayhawks plan to capitalize and build on their strengths — ball control and kills.
"We're going to study their hitters and know what to look for," she said. "We're going to prove to people that they should have confidence in us."
Senior outside hitter Amy Myatt has recorded 101 kills in a week, while LaMere has 288 set-assists in that time frame — a testament to Kansas' ball control skills. In addition to those stats, the Jayhawks have begun to improve in the digs department, garnering 88 against Colorado.
Meanwhile, Texas A&M middle blocker Heather Marshall is leading her team with 3.48 kills and 1.52 blocks per game, and setter Jenna Moscovic was a preseason All-Big 12 selection, currently averaging 12.7 assists per game.
"They're a conference team, so we're going to have to be at our best," Bechard said. "Hopefully we'll be ready."

Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5. You may want to be in two places at once. Somebody at home may have to wait while you take care of business. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, there is some stress. Luckily, it does not appear to be life-threatening.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
If you had more money, you could go further and faster. If you had more time, you could go for longer. All things considered, you're not as bad off as some. Enjoy what you've got. If you can wait a little while, a loved one may be able to join you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 4.
How could you get a four when the sun's in your sign? Because the moon in Aries makes you tense and sometimes stirs up people who have hot tempers. Avoid them if possible, especially if money's involved. Leave your phone off the hook.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
Only allow yourself to be talked into things you want to do. If you have a wild streak, it may get a chance to show itself soon. If you'd rather not read about yourself in the gossip columns tomorrow, cool it.

McGwire to be honored with Lou Gehrig award
BASEBALL
OXFORD, Ohio — A college fraternity organization is honoring St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Mark McGwire with its annual Lou Gehrig Memorial Award for off-field generosity to the community.
The Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity sponsors the award, given to a major league baseball player since 1955. McGwire will become the fifth Cardinal to receive it, joining Stan Musial (1957), Ken Boyer (1964), Lou Brock (1977) and Ozzie Smith (1989).
Representatives of Phi Delta Theta and the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award Committee plan to present the award to McGwire during pregame activities Sunday at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, fraternity officials said yesterday.
After signing with the Cardinals in 1997, McGwire pledged to donate $1 million each year to the Mark McGwire Foundation for Children, a charitable foundation that provides financial support and educational programs for victims of child abuse and neglect.
In 1999, McGwire teamed with a coffee company foundation to promote literacy. The joint venture provided a $5,000 donation to a children's literacy charity for each home run McGwire hit.

After the game, Reyna and Arena vehemently argued with Peregrandg.

Houston injures wrist, may sit out first game
Central American and Caribbean Region. Only the top two teams advance to next year's regional finals, which will produce three qualifiers for the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
SYDNEY, Australia — Allan Houston of the U.S. men's basketball team has a jammed wrist that could keep him out of the team's first game against China.
Houston injured his right wrist when he collided with Shareef Abdur-Rahim during practice Wednesday. It is the same wrist Houston had surgically repaired three summers ago.
"I'm not as worried or nervous as I was yesterday." Houston said after sitting out most of the U.S. team's two-hour practice yesterday. "It felt like I stretched the scar tissue."
Houston was scheduled to undergo X-rays on the wrist. He said he wanted to wait another couple days before deciding whether to play in the U.S. team's opener Sunday night.
"If it feels like it does now, probably not. Satudav will tell," he said.
The rest of the team ran through a series of drills during a two-hour practice at the Dome in Olympic Park. Houston, whose wrist was encased in a soft cast, was limited to running and shooting layups and free throws left-handed.
Coach Rudy Tomjanovich did not seem worried about Houston's injury
"He jammed it pretty good, but he didn't seem too concerned today. He told me it'll me two or three days," Tomjanovich said.

'Hawks recruiting outlook still bright
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
So they're not exactly flocking to Roy Williams. But they're not all shooting him down, either.
Although three top-notch recruits turned down Williams and the Jayhawks in the past few weeks, Kansas is still close to landing some of the nation's prime recruits.
The Jayhawks are expecting a visit this weekend from Alan Anderson, a 6-foot-5 forward from Minneapolis, Minn. Anderson is also considering Minnesota and Michigan State.
Kansas is also still high on the list of Jamal Sampson, a 6-10 center from Santa Ana, Calif.; Josh Childress, a 6-6 forward from Lakewood, Calif.; and Aaron Miles,
a 6-foot point guard from Portland. Ore.
Sampson and Childress are planning to visit Kansas during Late Night with Roy Williams on Friday, Oct. 13. Miles, meanwhile, has no official Kansas visit uped yet. Still, the three reportedly would like to play together in college, and Kansas is one of the few premier programs with enough scholarships available.
Now for the bad news.
Halstead's Dennis Latimore, a 6-9 forward, is leaning toward Arizona. But he will have his in-home visit with Williams Monday.
The Jayhawks are expecting a visit next weekend from Cedric Bozeman, a 6-6 guard who is Sampson's teammate at Mater Del High School in Santa Ana.
But Bozeman still has to be sold on
Kansas.
"I think if he had to sign today, he'd pick Florida," said Gary McKnight, Bozeman's high school coach, in an interview with The Gainesville (Pla.) Sun. "But he's going to take his visits and make up his mind."
Making up their minds is exactly what two Kansas recruits have done — and they're not going to be Jawhaws.
Williams learned earlier this week that Erroll Knight, a 6-5 guard from Seattle, would attend Washington.
Knight's announcement came just after David Lee, a 68 forward from St. Louis, gave an oral commitment to Florida. Lee will wait until the spring to sign his official letter of intent, but he appears to be headed to Gainesville.

Rim Rock meet draws teams from six states
The meet will feature teams from Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado and Arkansas. More than 2,200 athletes from 151 total teams will compete.
The University of Kansas will host the Rim Rock Farm High School Cross Country Classic tomorrow at the Jayhawks' home course. Lawrence High and Free State High also will help sponsor the event.
"This is a very special event because of the nature of the competition," said Tim Weaver, meet director. "We have athletes from all over the Midwest. Unlike a state meet where runners only face off against others from schools of the same size, the Rim Rock meet lets the best high schoolers in the region go head to head."
Rim Rock Farm, located north of Lawrence, has served as the home of
the 1998 NCAA Division I and II championships and is bidding to host the meet again in the near future. It is also the home of the Kansas 5A and 6A high school state cross country championships.
Tomorrow's meet begins at 9 a.m.
and the final race begins at 1:10 p.m.
The event is free.

Cardinal, Longhorns to hook up
By Allan Davis sports@kanson.com Kanson sportswriter
No. 5 Texas at Stanford
The big question in Texas (1-0) is who will start at quarterback. Will it be 1999 Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Year Major Applewhite? Or will it be Chris Simms, son of Super Bowl-winning quarterback Phil Simms? Applewhite looked good coming off the bench last week after Simms sputtered — so good that he was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
Wildcats senior quarterback Jonathan Beasley appears more comfortable this year than last and doesn't seem to be looking over his shoulder at his backup, Ell Roberson.
Stanford (1-1) will be seeking revenge for a 69-17 thumping at Texas last season. DeRonnie Pitts, a senior wide receiver who is tied for fourth on Stanford's all-time receptions list, must have a good game if Stanford is to win.
Ball State at No. 7 Kansas State Kansas State (2-0) continues the Cupcake of the Week portion of its schedule. Ball State (0-2) is this week's opponent.
Ball State's Sean Schembra, a sophomore wide receiver, leads the Cardinals with nine catches in two games.
Texas-El Paso at Texas A&M
Big 12 Conference previews
The Aggies (1-1) figure to beat the Miners (1-1), but nothing is certain. Texas-El Paso beat SMU last week 37-20, so the Miners will bring some talent to College Station. Senior quarterback Rocky Perez must have a good day if the Miners are to stay in the game. He leads the Western Athletic Conference in

Aggies junior wide receiver Robert Ferguson leans the Big 12

in receiving yards. Freshman quarterback Mark Farris does a good job getting the ball to Ferguson, completing 61 percent of his passes and averaging 218.5 yards passing per game.
Louisiana-Lafayette at Texas Tech
Louisiana-Lafayette, formerly known as Southwest Louisiana, has lost four straight games against Texas Tech. But that doesn't mean the Ragin' Cajuns (0-1) have no chance to beat the Red Raiders (3-0) in Lubbock.
Senior quarterback Derek Dyer leads the Cams' attack.
Red Raiders sophomore Shaud Williams' 6.63 catches per game leads the Big 12. Kliff Kingsbury, sophomore quarterback, leads the conference with 874 passing yards.
No. 9 Washington at Colorado
Former coach Rick Neuheisel, now in his second season at Washington after walking away from Colorado, leads his nationally ranked Huskers (2-0) into Boulder to meet the victory-starved Buffaloes (0-2).
Colorado freshman Marcus Houston has rushed for more than 100 yards in each of his first two games as a Buffalo. Houston's 125 yards-per-game average places him 17th nationally.
Washington quarterback Marques Tuasiosopo is ranked 16th nationally in total offense. He is the son of former NFL standout Manny
Tuilasosopo. One of his favorite targets is junior flanker Todd Elstom, who has eight catches for 165 yards. Minnesota at Baylor.

Minnesota wide receiver Ron Johnson, a junior, has a chance to break the Gophers' career receiving touchdowns record with 11 in his first 25 games. The record is 17 touchdowns.
No. 22 Michigan State at Missouri
The Spartans roll into Columbia, Mo., to face a Tiger team that was embarrassed by No. 16 Clemson last week 62.9. Tigers coach Larry Smith has lost all three of his matchups with Michigan State. Spartan coach BobbV Williams is 2-0 in his first
season. Missouri is 1-1 and will likely be 1-2 after Saturday.
Michigan State has won five in a row, including
MU
last season. T.J. Duckett, sophomore tailback, rushed for 219 yards on 26 carries against Marshall. Third-year starting cornerback
Renaldo Hill, a preseason All- American candidate, anchors the defense.
Missouri's defense is led by junior defensive end Justin Smith, who had 10 tackles against Clemson.
Southwest Texas at Oklahoma State
The Cowboys' (1-0) new AstroPlay artificial turf will make its debut at Lewis Field against the Matadors (1-1) Saturday.
Tony Lindsay, 1997 Big 12 Freshman Offensive Player of the Year, continues to improve and should make it a long afternoon for the Matadors. Lindsay threw three touchdown passes last week.
Southwest Texas sophomore running back Lee Davis is averaging 105 yards-per-game and will be challenged by the Cowboys defense, led by senior defensive end Juqua Thomas.
The Cyclones (2-0) have won the last two games against the Hawkeyes (0-2), including a win at Iowa in 1998.
Iowa State at Iowa
Iowa State junior running back Ennis Haywood can be expected to shoulder much of the offensive load for the Cyclones now that Troy and Darren Davis are gone.
Another key player for Iowa is senior defensive end Derrick Walker, who was backup quarterback for Sage Rosenfelts last year.
Iowa running back Ladell Betts, a junior, has rushed for 1.014 yards on 221 carries in his last 13 contests and likely will be called upon a lot on Saturday against the Cyclones.

Kansas, UAB rematch follows 1998 thriller
By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Blazers and Jayhawks meet again at 6 p.m. Saturday, this time in Memorial Stadium. UAB coach Watson Brown said he anticipated that both teams would remember the teams' last meeting.
Almost two years ago, the Kansas football team played Alabama-Birmingham in an NCAA record-tying four-overtime game. The Jayhawks won 39-37 in Birmingham — the last road win for Kansas.
"We have 13 guys who played in that game who are really playing a lot or starting, but I think Kansas has close to the same number," Brown said. "I think it will help us, but I would like to be able to go in there and sneak up on Kansas. But I don't think they will overlook us because of that game two years ago."
Kansas coach Terry Allen said he expected a tough game.
"They have beaten some very good teams the last couple of years," Allen said. "They're a very good football team, and they'll be a good test for us. Their quarterback, Daniel Dixon, is gifted in that he can throw very accurately and run the option effectively, and that is a very uncommon combination."
Dixon is a third-year starter for the Blazers. However, he will be without one of his prime targets. Sophomore wide receiver Willie Quinney will miss
the game because of a sprained posterior or collateral ligament in his right knee, an injury he suffered in the Sept. 7 win against Tennessee-Chattanooga. In that 20-15 victory, Quinney caught three passes for 125 yards and a touchdown.
Junior running back Jegil Dugger also was a big factor, coming off the bench to gain 84 yards and score two touchdowns. Starting running back Carl Fair was injured in the first quarter against Tennessee-Chattanooga, and his return is uncertain for Saturday's game. Fullback Carl Sanders completes the backfield.
Dixon and the UAB backs will have experienced linemen trying to open holes for them. The Blazers have nine offensive linemen who started or played last season.
As for the Blazer defense, all of last year's starters on the defensive line return this season, plus the four backups. The Blazer defensive line features end Bryan Thomas, 6-foot-6 tackle Eddie Freeman and 6-7 end Otis Leverette. Thomas, 6-4 and 255 pounds, has run the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds.
The secondary does not have as much experience as the defensive line — UAB has three new starters in the defensive backfield.
Alabama-Birmingham was a Division I-AA team but has made the jump to Division I. A victory against UAB would count toward the six victories needed for Kansas to be selected for a bowl game. Edited by Evan Matz

Also participating in the ISU Open will be men's and women's teams from Iowa State, Drake, Arkansas, Northern Iowa, Truman State, Colorado State, Vanderbilt, and Minnesota-Duluth.
After starting their season off strong in the Bob Timmons Invitational last weekend, the Kansas men's and women's cross country teams will face a tougher test tomorrow in the Iowa State Open meet in Ames, Iowa.
KU coach Stanley Redwine said he thought tomorrow's meet would give the Jayhawks a chance to gauge how far they had come as a team and how much further they needed to go.
"We need to concentrate and be a better team than last week in order to do well at the ISU Open," Redwine said. "This meet will be good competition for us."
The Kansas women are coming off a team championship in the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm, and they know that tomorrow could be either a confidence booster or a humbling experience.
Freshman Laura Lavioie said that although the women's team would be shooting for a victory tomorrow, she didn't expect this meet to be as easy as its first performance.
"The meet at Iowa State will give us a better grasp on where we are," Lavole said. "There will be a lot better teams at this meet, and it will be very competitive."
Redwine said that running at Iowa State would be more than just an ordinary meet because this year's NCAA championships would be run in Ames. Getting a first-hand look at the NCAA course will be a much-needed experience for the runners, he said.
"The course is very challenging, and they'll see it again this year," Redwine said. "This will be the first time the women run a 6K race, so that might be hard for them to adjust to."
Junior Charlie Gruber still is going to be absent from the men's lineup tomorrow, but Redwine said he was looking forward to the return of several other runners and hoped they could perform better than last week.

TV movie draws ire from Elian's relatives
The Associated Press
Robbins said his movie portrayed the Miami family much as the national media did.
Robbins said many witnesses and participants were interviewed, including Lazaro, and writer Dennis Turner. Overall, he said, the movie is accurate in substance and tenor.
MIAMI — Lazaro Gonzalez pulled a brown paper towel from his pocket and wiped his eyes as the closing credits rolled during a preview of The Elian Gonzalez Story.
Coffey said the Miami family had one motivation: to fulfill the wish of Ellian's mother that he grow up in freedom. He thinks in the music so enourishing simultae.
Lazaro had laughed and shaken his head while watching the nearly two-hour-long TV movie, which depicted the events that thrust his family into the international spotlight. He wept when the movie showed federal agents raiding his home to seize his nephew, 6-year-old Elian.
And then he became angry.
The family's attorneys and advisers said that the movie, which airs on the Fox Family Channel at 7 p.m. Sunday, did not reflect accurately what happened during the five months that Elian lived in Miami's Little Havana with his great uncle Lazaro. The boy, who had survived a boat trip from Cuba that killed his mother, was returned to his father in April after a months-long custody battle.
"Nothing is reality in that story." Gonzalez said. "They should have talked to us. We could have told them what really happened."
Lance Robbins, the film's executive producer, admits to some inaccuracies for dramatic reasons, and said some events were compressed because of time constraints. The film — the first to depict the Ellan saga — is based on real events but is not a documentary, he said. It depicts "the ultimate custody battle; a battle
ously — such as Elian's birthday in December and the government's January decision to return him to Cuba — actually occurred weeks apart. The order of other events is flip-flipped.
"Detail after detail was wrong — they couldn't even get the chronology right." Coffey said.
Attorney Kendall Coffey, who is not depicted in the film, said it actually was more like fiction, so for him the pain vanished.

Fans' reactions vary to sexual assault protest
By Kursten Phelps

Reactions to handbills distributed before Saturday's football game ranged from apathy to concern and anger.
Twelve students associated with Delta Force, the Womyn's Empowerment Action Coalition and the KU Pro-Choice Coalition
distributed handbills that proclaimed "Sexual assault is not a KU tradition." The handbills were intended to draw attention to the University of Kansas Athletics Department's response to allegations of sexual assault.
Last spring, a female soccer player accused two KU football players of sexually assaulting her. She initially approached
coach Terry Allen instead of going to the police. Later, it was revealed that Allen punished the players by making them run extra stairs at practice.
Allen and the Athletics Department apologized publicly for the way the case was handled, and Lawrence police are investigating the soccer players' allegations.
Bob Frederick, athletics director, has said
that he thinks Allen was being unfairly attacked.
Mora Berberich, St. Louis junior and one of the demonstrators, said that one couple left the game after reading the handbill.
"They said, 'We had no idea,' and they left," she said.
But not everyone was so receptive. Demonstrator Kelli Graves, Overland
Park graduate student, said some people didn't appreciate the protest.
"A lot of people disagree with what we're doing," Graves said. "Some guy ripped it up and tried to hand it back. It seems like most people think we should pretend it never happened."

New club fuses politics, dodge ball
Students combine different ideas into unique group
By Meghan Bainum
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Ian Spiridigliozzi wanted to start a University of Kansas dodge ball club. His friend Morgan Bowen thought a neo-socialist club would be better.
Instead of arguing about which club to start, the two friends combined ideas and the KU Neo-socialist and Dodge Ball Club was born.
Bowen, Overland Park junior, said that even though the club combined neosocialism and dodge ball, the two were actually mutually exclusive parts.
"They don't have anything to do with one another," Bowen said. "People don't have to be a socialist to play dodge ball. The political aspect isn't important at all. If you want to play dodge ball, you can just play."
Spiridigloizzi, Flint, Mich., junior said that people could form their own teams and challenge the 10-member club to a match. The club plays at the field between Robinson Center and the Computer Center and hopes to sponsor a dodge ball playoff tournament eventually.
Bowen said that the socialist part of the club was still mostly uniformed because he was waiting to attract a strong base of people interested in socialism, a form of government in which everything is owned and governed by the community.
But Bowen said the socialist part of the club was more about community action than strict socialistic ideals.
"It's not socialism as in take private property and all that stuff," he said. "It's more like a social response to the needs of the community and giving KU students an outlet to take social action."

* Students interested in dodge ball can meet at 5 p.m. every Saturday in the field between Robinson Center and the Computer Center. This Saturday's game is cancelled because of Parents Day. A meeting time for the socialist part of the club will be announced soon.
The club will ask for money from Student Senate.
J. D. Jenkins, liberal arts and sciences senator and Shawnee senior, said he would support a bill to get funding for the club. He said the funding would help the club attract interested students.
Jimmy Appelhanz, Topeka senior, joined the club after he found out about it at an information table in the Kansas Union. He said he liked the club because it had no president, and every member was equal.
"If they get the word out, put the ads in the paper and hang up fliers with the money we give them, then that gets the word out that they are there, and students that are interested will know they exist and join," he said.
"The kids there just want to have fun," he said. "They're not interested in rank or impressing anyone. It's all about the dodge ball."
Some research costs unpaid to University

When a state, federal or private agency looks to sponsor research at the University of Kansas, administrators often ask for a percentage of the donation to cover the University's costs related to the project.
But sometimes sponsors don't abide by the suggested fee, known as overhead or indirect costs.
The University of Kansas is supposed to receive 45.5 percent of the donated funds on top of the donation for on-campus research, and 25 percent for grants to KU researchers using off-campus facilities. The University asks for a similar rate on training grants.
Universities negotiate a standard overhead rate with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for research sponsored outside the universities.
Although 45.5 percent is a standard overhead charge that is most often paid by federal agencies, the University rarely receives such a high percentage for sponsored research.
Jim Roberts, associate vice chancellor for research, said corporate research sponsors often agreed to the overhead fee, though state agencies did not.
"Savvy companies understand indirect costs better than anyone," he said. "The entire package, including overhead, all represents what it costs to do research."
David Katzman, professor of American Studies, said that although overhead supported research efforts when it was offered, it could guide which research projects received funding.
The National Institute of Health, the National Science Foundation and the Department of Defense usually paid all of the overhead costs requested, Roberts said, but others paid less or even none. The U.S. Department of Education, for example, donates 8 percent.
"It has a healthy input of spurring research, but it has this negative aspect of chasing the money," he said. "We seek spons-
RESEARCH FUNDS
The University of Kansas is supposed to receive 45.5 percent of the donated funds on top of donation for on-campus research, and 25 percent for grants to KU researchers using off-campus facilities.
The 45.5 percent is a standard overhead charge, which is most often paid by federal agencies, but the University rarely receives that large a percentage for sponsored research.
Of the overhead received, 15 percent goes back to the school that receives the sponsorship, and the other 85 percent goes to a general fund.
Fiscal year 1999: $123 million in total research sponsorship,
$18.5 million of which was overhead — about 15 percent
Fiscal year 1998: about $70 million in federal sponsorship,
$15 million went to overhead — about 21 percent
sorship with overhead rather than pursuing research that is essential to our mission."
In fiscal year 1999, KU took in $123 million in research sponsorship, with $18.5 million, or about 15 percent retained for overhead. A break down of overhead expenditures by each school in the University for 1999 is expected from the Center for Research within the next two weeks.
In 1998, the last year for which numbers were available, 56.9 percent of all research sponsorship came from federal agencies. Of just more than $70 million in federal sponsorship in that year, $15 million went to overhead costs.
Bob Collins, director of research information at the Center for Research, said the grants didn't always go directly to their designed project but rather to the good of the whole University.
"A portion of a grant designated for facilities and administration is not necessarily spent on that project," he said. "But it does help pay for all the research facilities on campus."
Of the overhead received, 15 percent goes back to the school that received the sponsorship and the other 85 percent goes to a general fund.

Conference argues Native-American issues
By Leita Schultes
By Laite Schuttes
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The status of Native Americans in the United States is changing fast, but plenty remains to be addressed — including the impact of casinos on Native Americans, said Clyde Bellecourt, co-founder of the American Indian Movement.
Native American leaders such as Bellecourt spoke at the conference, discussing the changing nature of Native American political activism. They recalled the Red Power movement of the 1960s and called for new reforms, such as integrating Native American history into social science curriculums.
Such issues were addressed this weekend at "American Indian Leaders: Red Power and Tribal Politics," a conference presented by the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University.
Of particular relevance to Lawrence, a possible site for a casino, was a breakout session on the impacts of gaming.
Venida S. Chenault, Haskell Indian Nations University faculty member, said indigenous gaming provided financial resources for Native American development.
"How do you begin rebuilding infrastructure?" she asked. "How do you begin finding the line of your sovereignty if you don't have resources?"
Tribes traditionally had been supported by government and private grants. Chenault said, but reliance on grants diminished the authority of tribal governments.
Gaming resources could strengthen tribal sovereignty by enabling Native Americans to exercise their right of self-governance, she said.
Nicholas Peroff, professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas
City, took a different approach to the issue.
"Gaming will change an Indian tribe because a tribe is a living, self-organizing and evolving human system," he said.
Sovereignty is inherent to a tribe, he said, and can not be granted or taken away. But he added that tribes were not completely sovereign because they were not completely isolated.
"It's one of the most corrupt things that ever happened to Indian people," he said.
Poverty-stricken Native Americans often saw money, Bellecourt said, and lost sight of what was important — culture retention and tribal sovereignty.
"It's pitting Indian against Indian," he said. "That's what gaming has done to us ... we're terminating ourselves."
Both Peroff and Chenault agreed that gaming had its pros and cons, but Bellecourt was strongly against it.

Bellecourt also discussed the history of Native Americans and its role in modern politics.
Westward expansion in the 1800s resulted in the world's greatest holocaust, he said, and the United States have yet to apologize to Native Americans.
Bellecourt said an apology should come from organized religion, educational systems and the government. Although Native Americans do not want land returned, he said, they do want history told and treaties upheld.

Lawrence man arrested for stealing ID scanner
A 21-year-old Lawrence resident stole an ID scanner early Friday morning from The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., as the bar was about to close, Lawrence police said.
Lawrence Police Det. M.T. Brown said an employee recorded the theft on videotape. Police viewed the videotape and matched the person who stole the scanner to the ID the person presented when entering the bar.
The man was arrested on a felony count of theft. The scanner was valued at $2,000.
Brown said the police then went to the suspect's residence, where the suspect answered the door holding the scanner and immediately gave it to police.

Former football player enters plea at hearing
Dion Johnson, a former University of Kansas football player charged with aggravated robbery and kidnapping, will stand trial at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 16.
Johnson's preliminary hearing was continued Friday from last week. He pled not guilty to the charges.
Johnson is accused of coordinating the armed robbery of a 21-year-old KU student in June.
A boy who is serving a two-year sentence in juvenile detention for the robbery testified that Johnson told him and another male where they could get money and marijuana, gave them guns and dropped them off at the victim's residence. He said Johnson then picked them up after the robbery, and they divided the loot.
The boy and Johnson were arrested the next morning at a Lawrence motel.

Atlantis' astronauts enter space station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Atlantis' astronauts closed the doors to the international space station yesterday after accomplishing all their chores and more.
Expedition One — the first permanent space station crew — is scheduled to blast off Monday, Oct. 30 aboard a Russian rocket and arrive at the complex two days later for a four-month stay.
They planned to pull away aboard Atlantis late last night.
during their five days inside, the shuttle astronauts stocked the space station with more than 6.000 pounds of food, clothes, soap, toothbrushes, ear plugs, pens, notebooks, trash bags, radios, vacuum cleaners, power converters and other gear.
Public transit strike hampers Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES — Nearly half a million people faced the start of the work week without their usual bus or train service because striking public transit drivers in Los Angeles County walked picket lines for a second day.
No new contract talks were scheduled yesterday between the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the unions representing its drivers, clerks and mechanics.
About 450,000 people rely on public transit in Los Angeles County. Sixty-eight percent have household incomes under $15,000 per year, and nearly three-quarters of bus riders are African American or Hispanic; according to the MTA.
Contracts for the United Transportation Union, the Amalgamated Transit Union and the Transportation Communications International Union expired June 30.
Work rules are the major issue in the contract dispute, and the two sides also disagree on wage and benefits increases. The MTA offered 2.7 percent raises per year for three years; the unions wanted 4 percent
per year.
The strike idled 2,000 buses as well as Metro Rail light rail lines serving a 1,400-square-mile area.
Russian utility firm seeking huge payments
MOSCOW — As the electricity monopoly in the world's largest country, Russia's Unified Energy Systems has plenty of prodigious statistics — including what could be the world’s longest list of deadbeat customers.
Not only do they owe the partly state-owned UES an estimated $5 billion, but they include some of the country's most secret sites, including nuclear missile bases and the Plesetsk space launch facility.
The utility's attempts to collect its bills grabbed national attention last week when one of its local branches cut off power to a missile base that owed $683,000. The base retaliated by sending soldiers to a switching station to turn the lights back on.
The plan has been widely criticized. Analysts say it would accomplish little and could be a new opportunity for unscrupulous entrepreneurs to grab pieces of an important enterprise at bargain prices.
Albanian rebel army will boycott elections
DOBROSIN, Yugoslavia — The leader of an ethnic Albanian rebel army in southern Serbia claimed yesterday that Serbian forces were gathering in the Albanian-majority region in the run-up to Yugoslav elections.
The rebel group was prepared to fight back if the Serbs attacked before the Sunday, Sept. 24 presidential and parliamentary elections, said Bexhet Mehneti, a commander in the Liberation Army of Pressevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac, known by its Albanian-language acronym UCPMB.
Beleigh considers the liberation army a terrorist organization and blames it for numerous attacks on its forces. It also claims a number of Serbs have fled the region.
Mehmeti said the liberation army would boycott next week's elections — a precedent set by rebel Albanians in Kosovo in the early 1990s.
NATO-led peace keepers have repeatedly said they would not support the rebels' actions and have conducted several raids on suspected weapons stockpiles of the group inside Kosovo.
In Belgrade yesterday, three student activists were sentenced to 10 days in prison each for spraying antigovernment graffiti. A Serbian court found them guilty of violating "law and order."

School prepares high-tech face-lift for Learned Hall
Proposal includes main entrance media classroom
PETS
By Jennifer Valadez
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer.
This artist's rendition shows the proposed expansion of Learned Hall, which includes a new main entrance and is expected to cost about $16 million. The building should be completed by Fall 2002, but a start date has not been set. Contributed at
The KU School of Engineering will soon have access to state-of-the-art facilities as plans develop to change the face of Learned Hall.
Carl Locke Jr., dean of engineering, said plans were under way to create a main entrance to the school, instead of the two side entrances that now exist. He also said that relocating the dean's office from its current position on the fourth floor would make it more convenient and easier to find.
"This will make the dean's office more accessible to current students as well as potential students," Locke said. "The new design will provide a striking entrance to the building."
Locke said the addition would primarily accommodate the department of electrical engineering and computer science, which is now in Nichols, Snow and Learned halls.
The estimated $16 million expansion, which has been in planning for the past year, will be located on the east end of Learned. It will house a computer commons, a 230-seat multi
media' classroom, more classrooms, faculty offices and a dean's suite. The classrooms will include computer classrooms designated for engineering courses and three computer labs for courses in computer science.
Steve Scannell, design and construction management consultant service manager, said the new classrooms would benefit the entire school.
"This is going to provide them with a state-of-the-art facility and much needed square feet," he said.
The addition will free up approximately 16,300 square feet in Learned and will allow for the expansion of other departments within the School of Engineering.
The building is being designed by Gould Evans Associates LC of Lawrence and is set to be complete by Fall 2002.
However, Doug Doering, project manager, said that neither a start date nor a bid date had been set.
Doering said the space from the 84,000-square-foot addition would
"The new design will provide a striking entrance to
the building."
Carl Locke Jr.

provide a courtyard between the new building and Spahr Engineering Library and that the high-tech components of the addition would significantly update the school.
"It will greatly enlarge, replace and expand the existing terrace," he said. "The addition is going to upgrade them considerably."
Locke said the building was currently waiting on donors because the project was still in a quiet phase of fund raising. Most of the money used in the project will come from private funding.
He said a formal announcement of the project would be made at the end of the year.

Students protest sexual assault
Continued from page 1A
Some fans accepted and read the handbills, while some crumpled them up and tossed them to the ground. Others avoided taking a handbill altogether, laughed or voiced their disagreement.
"I think they're creating problems that don't need to be created," said Randi Sereres, Olathe senior. "The girl should have gone to the police in the first place. Terry Allen is a good guy."
Sarah Yannaccone, a demonstrator, said the reaction often depended on whom she gave a handbill to.
"Young women and middle-aged women were pretty receptive," said Yannaccone, Sterling senior. "The men tended to be really hostile."
Yannaccone said many people told her to get a life or said that Allen was a good man.
One KU alumnus said that he didn't mind the handbill distribution but that he wanted to hear both sides of the situation.
"I got called a lesbian, too," she said. "But I actually thought it would be more hostile. A lot of people just seemed to have the attitude of, 'Do not look at the girl with the filer.'"
"If it's true, absolutely it's wrong. That kind of stuff can't be tolerated," said Mike Ashley, Prairie Village resident. "Believe me, I've got two daughters here."
Some fans were receptive to the students, though, said Maggie Koerth, Salina sophomore.

"One guy did talk to me and was really supportive," Koerth said. "He said one thing he was sick of was how in the media it seemed like Terry Allen and the sports people said they felt victimized by us because we're bringing it out."
Berberich said even though she distributed the handbills, she was a KU football fan.
"I love KU football. I felt so negative out there, but it's a negative issue, though." Berberich said. "I feel bad that because of Terry Allen's actions there was a shadow cast over the game. Nothing like this should have had to ruin the day for anyone."
Social Welfare plan meets financial goal
By Amy Riscoe
Edited by Enin Adamson
Special to the Kansan
After three years of fund raising, the School of Social Welfare has attained its goal of $1 million.
In 1997, the school established the fund-raising program "Beyond Boundaries," which kicked off the school's 50th year of service. The program was started to raise money to secure the school's future.
"The money will be used for student scholarships, faculty support and innovative projects," said Melanie Hepburn, assistant dean of social welfare.
Donations came from alumni, corporate donors and estates,and the program intended to bring clients and the community together.
"Being out in the community helped make the community more aware of the fund-raiser," said Kay Lynne Myers, chairwoman of "Beyond Boundaries."
The program's name symbolizes how the school's faculty envisions social workers.
"We always reach beyond the traditional lines of social work," Hepburn said.
Having reached their goal, the program's organizers now want to commemorate the close of the fund-raiser and honor the donors and faculty. The school is celebrating on Friday by unveiling plaques with the names of the donors.
"The reason why we raised money is because in social welfare we have such a wide range of alumni to help out." Myers said.
A tile mural was designed to initiate the start of "Beyond Boundaries."
Carolyn Payne, KU graduate, designed the mural to reflect the social welfare building, Twente Hall, as well as the Edwards Campus and the back stairs of Twente Hall. Now, plaques on both sides of the mural will be added.
"The celebration is a 'thank you' to the donors and faculty for all their help," Myers said.

Conference emphasizes tribal pride
By Mark Hansen Special to the Kansan
The speaker asked his audience to write down three things that were sacred, things that were worth dying for. Then he collected the pieces of paper and tore them into shreds.
"Our history is being edited from the Indian consciousness," he said.
Free criticized the way Native- American culture had been presented in standard textbooks.
This is what has happened to Native American culture, said Robert Free, co-coordinator of the Northwest Leonard Peltier Support Network. Free spoke Friday as part of a weekend conference, "American Indian Leaders: Red Power and Tribal Politics," held at the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University.
the indian consciousness," he said.
Ray Pierotti, associate professor of biology, said the conference gave him a chance to meet some of his heroes.
"It's good seeing them healthy and ready to train the next generation." he said.
Pierotti said he had hoped that more KU people would attend and recruit at the conference.
"I wish that more non-Indian academics were here," he said. "There's been a great deal of talk here about increasing Native American students and faculty."
Ada Deer, a member of the Menominee tribe of Wisconsin and the keynote speaker of the weekend, said Native Americans should be proud.
"We're the native people here, and we should look people right in the eye, not above or below," Deer said.
She emphasized the need to invest in education.
"You have a responsibility and reciprocity to help your tribe," Deer said. "I decided I would exert every fiber of my body to help my tribe."
Oren Lyons on the Onondaga tribe spoke Saturday, urging Native Americans to persevere if they wanted reform.
"While we speak, the ice is melting," he said. "There's something greater going on."
Lyons said Native Americans needed to get back to their roots.
"Get back to your ways," he said. "Talk to your elders. They're waiting for you to ask."
William Collins, a history teacher from Albuquerque, N.M., attended the conference and said it gave him the chance to deal with issues he couldn't address regularly in the classroom.
"This is like intellectual stimulation for me," he said. "People in Kansas should definitely be aware of the region's history."

Perspective
Parody needs free speech protections
Parody is a much more sincere form of flattery than imitation.
If nothing else, parody
If nothing else, parody is funnier. Brad Quellhorst and Lee Dunfield would probably agree. The two Lawrence High School seniors are the publishers of the Low Budget, an underground newspaper whose name pokes fun at LHS' official paper, the Budget, and whose content pokes fun at just about everything else.
Some of the Low Budget's headlines included "Veterans Park set on fire to discourage smoking" and the remarkably creative "Clinton to release recording debut: 'Oops, I Did Her Again.'"
One person who wasn't laughing when the Low Budget was launched two weeks ago was Dick Patterson, LHS principal. Patterson
was quoted in the Veterans Park story as a supporter of the burning. In response, he suspended the two students for two class days, citing the newspaper as "disruptive."
YELLOWSTONE
Patterson also told the students they could no longer distribute their newspaper on the LHS campus. More disturbingly, the two were warned not to print a second issue regardless of distribution methods, Quellhorst said.

School administrators and students often are at odds; when one's right to freedom of speech is in the middle of the struggle, the situation gets messy.
By outlawing the Low Budget at LHS, Patterson set a dangerous precedent. If one group of students is prohibited from distributing materials on campus, then no group should be allowed to distribute — or say — anything that hasn't received the principal's approval.
Misinterpretation of First Amendment rights happens at the University, too.
As freshmen, two of my roommates and I created Templin Revolution. Freshmen made up the majority of the residence hall's inhabitants; we formed the Templin Revolution Web site in sarcastic protest of the all-sophomore hall government.
The site featured a modified photo of Templin with an atomic bomb-style mushroom cloud looming above. The site also included a quote, attributed to an employee of the Department of Student Housing, containing several profanities and thinly veiled threats.
Obviously, we didn't want to overthrow hall government or nuke Templin; it had just been renovated and was practically like a hotel (compared to the other, considerably more decrepit residence halls). But from reliable sources at the KU Campus Internet Association and the KU Amercian Civil Liberties Union, we heard administrators were livid and wanted to sue and/or expel us. Instead, the publicity that followed shined a lot of negative light on the administration, so the lawyers — thankfully — never came knocking on our door.
Freedom of speech usually protects the freedom to be a smartass, to have a warped sense of humor. Those are abilities I truly treasure. And what better way to criticize or call for change than through parody, through satire? After all, Quellhorst and Dunfield didn't think the official LHS paper represented them. Nor did my Templin roommates and I think hall government represented us.
But when the tone of something published doesn't fit what administrators deem "appropriate," those administrators often encroach on freedom.
I'm thankful that they rarely win. Patterson relented last week and allowed Quellhorst and Dunfield to distribute the second issue of Low Budget in the halls of LHS. Templin Revolution never was sued and still exists today, now as a student-rights activist organization.
We don't have to check our constitutional rights at the doors of our schools.
And before our educational superiors attempt to pull in the reigns on harmless parody, perhaps they should do some checking of their own — to see if they still have a sense of humor.

Perspective
United States should walk away from U.N.
Rising from the ruins of World War II, the United Nations seemed to embody the loftiest ideals — an organization founded "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war" and "to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights."
It was the civilized world's supreme act of penance for the most destructive war in
human history. The United Nations would be a lasting monument, demonstrating to posterity that humanity had finally learned its lesson
— we'd resolve conflicts
forevermore by spilling
ink, not blood.
But though its words were peaceful white, its core was communist and
P
Blood was what Joseph Stalin had been spilling in the Soviet Union for two decades before the United Nations' formation.
Thus, it's fitting that the United Nations' first secretary general was Alger Hiss, the American diplomat later exposed as a Soviet spy. It's fitting that, in 1982, the Senate Judiciary Committee said America's U.N. delegation contained "the greatest concentration of communists that this committee has ever encountered."
John McCool guest columnist opinion@kansan.com
Whether by shootings, forced famines or rotting in gulags, 20 million people had been murdered.
Such facts were overlooked, though, and the Soviet Union became a permanent Security Council member and was duly recognized as a "peace-loving nation."
The tradition of welcoming murderers into the family of peace-loving nations continued tragically at the recent U.N. Millennium Summit. Guests included Fidel Castro, Vladimir
Putin, Jiang Zemin and Bill Clinton, who said. "There are assembled here more people with the power to create peace than have ever gathered together in one place in the history of the world."
Given its history of schmoozing dictators and coddling communists, it's no surprise the United Nations has become a platform from which the world's worst oppressors spit anti-American venom and ratl against American imperialism.
They would give U.N. institutions more revenue by instituting a global tax, thus defying the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress the sole power to tax. They would ratify an international criminal court that could overrule American judges and lead to bogus war crime trials of Americans. They'd build a U.N. Army, with American soldiers led by blue-heLMeted foreigners. And they'd revoke the veto power of the United States, downgrading our democracy to the level of the world's sewer-dwelling despots.
The Charter would create a governing body claiming to supersede the authority of the U.S. President, Congress and the Supreme Court. Supporters want the power to monitor and regulate international corporations — meaning they could control American businesses, set prices and punish companies for noncompliance.
And now, the 150 member nations are debating something sinister — the Charter for Global Democracy — an apocalyptic blueprint for world government.
The United Nations is a scheme for world government, undermining American independence and trashing James Madison's Constitution in favor of Castro's charter.
We can seize this moment by renouncing all ties with the United Nations, bringing our troops home and setting a moral example for all genuine peace-loving nations to follow.

Editorial
LHS sends wrong signal by censoring
Students' creativity should be encouraged, not punished.
When two Lawrence High School seniors passed out copies of their self-published alternative newspaper, the Low Budget, they had no idea their First Amendment rights would be infringed upon. They were unofficially suspended by LHS principal Dick Patterson, who said the newspaper was disruptive. Instead of unofficially suspending the two students, Patterson should have asked the boys to distribute the paper elsewhere and appreciated the paper for what it was — a witty parody
Patterson later allowed the students to distribute the second issue, but their right to do that never should have been in question.
Applying the First Amendment right of free speech to high schools is difficult. High school students are citizens, yet as minors, the school maintains the right to censor their activities on school property. The content of the official LHS newspaper, the Budget, is protected by law and only the editor of the paper, not the administration, can censor it.
However, unauthorized publications on school property don't have the same protection.
But the Low Budget wasn't disruptive. It didn't spur on any student riots nor encourage the whole school to walk out. The boys said some teachers passed it out in class. There was nothing disruptive about it until the principal overreacted.
In a meeting the day after the newspaper was distributed, Patterson told the boys they would face suspension if they distributed the newspaper again, anywhere. Such a threat is beyond his power to enforce legally. High school is supposed to get students ready to join the adult world. In the United States, adulthood is supposed to allow people to express themselves freely. Youthful participation in society's dialogue helps the country grow.
High schools should applaud students who speak their minds and publish their ideas.
While other kids were lying on couches watching TV, these two put together a Web site and newspaper.

Gordon nears Florida coast
The Associated Press
CEDAR KEY, Fla. — Hurricane Gordon charged toward Florida's Gulf Coast yesterday, carrying high winds, drenching rain and a storm surge that threatened to reach 10 feet and sent some residents of low-lying areas to shelters.
However, many of the 800 people on this small island in the path of the storm stayed put, ignoring a request for voluntary evacuations.
"A lot of residents have been here for years. They've ridden these out before," said Cedar Key mayor Heath Davis. "Their words are like, 'We've always stayed; we're staying this time.'"
Forecasters expected Gordon to hit the coast last night about 100 miles north of Tampa, with sustained winds in excess of 75 mph and 10 or more inches of rain.
The 13,000 residents of Dixie County, just north of Cedar Key, were as ready as possible, said Arthur Bellot, emergency
management director.
All nonresidents were ordered out of Cedar Key by yesterday afternoon. Two hurricane watchers from Atlanta were chased away from a dock by Levy County Sheriff's deputies.
"We have been chasing hurricanes for about 15 years. We go all the way from Brownsville (Texas) to Boston," said John Tyler, a pizza delivery man who said he was disappointed by Gordon's force.
"It's real weak," he said. "It's too dry and cool to get much stronger."
Others along the coast weren't taking chances. By midafternoon, 227 people had taken refuge in 43 shelters in nine counties, dozens of flights were canceled at Tampa International Airport and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays baseball game against the Oakland Athletics was called off.
By yesterday afternoon the storm's center was about 90 miles south-southwest of Cedar Key, or 75 miles due west of Tampa, and was moving north-northeast of

rain was pounding the coast, and winds had already reached 25 mph. In Sarasota, easily flooded streets were already under water yesterday, though officials reported no injuries and no substantial wind damage.
at about 14 mph.
Forecasters predicted storm surge flooding of 7 to 10 feet above normal tide levels near the eye's landfall and said that might have coincided with yesterday's high tide. Cedar Key stands about 3 feet above sea level.
The National Hurricane Center posted a hurricane warning extending from Anna Maria Island, just south of St. Petersburg, north to Ochlockonee River on the Florida Panhandle. Tropical storm warnings were in effect on the Atlantic Coast, from Tittusville, Fla., north to Little River Inlet, S.C.
U.S. warns Iraq against aggression
SINGAPORE — U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen warned Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein yesterday to avoid taking any aggressive action against his country's neighbors, saying the United States and Britain could defeat any threat.
Kuwait urged world leaders yesterday to take steps to restrain Iraq from threatening the emirate after Baghdad warned last week that it would take action to stop what it called Kuwaiti theft of its oil.
Iraq historically has accused Kuwait of
stealing its oil, one of the justifications it made for invading in 1990. A U.S.-led coalition army drove Iraq from Kuwait seven months later.
In the past two weeks, Iraq also has flown a jet fighter over Saudi airspace for the first time in more than a decade.
The Associated Press
Kuwaiti Cabinet ministers discussed Iraq's recent threats yesterday, Interior Minister Sheik Mohammed Al Khaled Al Sabah said, calling the Iraqi accusation baseless and an attempt to create regional instability.
"The Iraqi regime's continuous threats
do not scare us, whether they are serious or for political consumption," Defense Minister Sheik Salem Al Sabah was quoted as telling an Iraqi newspaper.
Undecided voters often are women
An Iraqi official said yesterday that Baghdad was not making threats and that it meant only that it would take technical measures to prevent Kuwaiti theft of its oil.
Friction between the United States and Iraq has been rising, mainly over renewed efforts to have U.N. inspectors search for hidden weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
WASHINGTON — A personal ad from this year's presidential candidates might look something like this: In search of politically independent female from small town; no college education necessary.
The Associated Press
She's a typical undecided voter, part of a shrinking pool of Americans yet to tilt toward either Al Gore or George W. Bush.
Only about 10 percent of Americans remain truly undecided, polls show, although that rises when those who are leaning but not committed are included. That has number crunchers for both campaigns slicing and dicing poll results to learn more about just who's left to get.
They're likely to find people like Tracey Jones, a 33-year-old cosmetics saleswoman. She's a registered Democrat but willing to give Bush a chance
"I'm going to vote." Jones said as she shuttled among customers in a D.C. store. "I just have a lot more homework to do."
Surveys show that undecided voters are disproportionately female and politically independent, with a high school education or less. Some polls show they're most likely to be young, though a recent survey found them older. Nearly two-thirds are from small towns or rural areas. Many are from working-class families. They have moderate views on the issues and generally favorable impressions of both Gore and Bush.
And the uncertainty in this year's race extends well beyond the undecided voters to an even larger group of voters who have picked a candidate but aren't solidly committed. One in four registered voters said there was a chance they might switch before Election Day, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.

'Hawks overcome special teams' errors to eclipse Blazers
By Jason Franchuk sports @kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The University of Kansas football team didn't just have to battle its own poor play and Alabama-Birmingham's rugged ground game
— the Jayhawks had to fight to win over the fans.
When coach Terry Allen would call a play for running back Moran Norris that earned zero yards and Kansas needed two, the crowd booed. When kicker Joe Garcia missed an extra point that could have given Kansas the lead late in the game, the crowd ieered.
For all the mistakes Kansas made — including four turnovers — Allen pleaded for patience. And despite a series of individual miscues, it seemed that each Jayhawk also had a plan for retribution.
"We show signs of having a chance to be a pretty good football team," Allen said.
Garcia knocked in the 50-yard field goal that won the game. Pelfanio averaged 40.2 yards per punt. After the blocked punt and a few close calls before that, Pelfanio booted one cleanly from his own goal to the delight of the fans who screened the unit with mock clapping. It happened again on his next punt when he got it out from the back of the end zone.
"I didn't care how far they went," Pelfanio said. "I just wanted to get the ball out of there quick."
But Kansas' win will probably not tip any fence-sitters. Only 28,500 fans showed up.
The Jayhawks claimed to be highly emotional after a season-opening loss at Southern Methodist that threatened to nulley the season, but they still could not pull away from the Blazers.
More information
The Jayhawk defense led the way to the win over the Blazers Saturday.
See page 3B
Kansas jumped out to a 14-0 lead but squandered it on the blocked punt and a UAB field goal that cut Kansas' lead to four points as the half ended.
UAB took the lead on an eight-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, and complaints resonated through the stadium.
"Fans are going to say what they want to say," Kansas quarterback Dylen Smith said. "I try not to pay attention to it. When they want to get behind us and help us get emotional, that's when we'll listen."
Kansas had to turn a deaf ear while it struggled. Smith, who Allen said was not near the top of his game, finally caught the break he wanted when he spotted junior wide

Jayhawks split weekend matches

Sometimes soccer can be more dramatic than Hollywood movies, as those who attended the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Soccer Classic learned this weekend.
A day after the University of Kansas women's soccer team suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 overtime loss to Ole Mite at Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park Saturday, it bounced back and defeated Southwest Missouri State 2-0 yesterday.
"I think the win means a lot because yerterday's game was very 'disappointing,' Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "Everybody was just devastated. I think it shows a lot of character for these guys to come back today, back-to-back, and play so well."
After a scoreless first half, Kansas came out strong in the second half and attacked the Bears' goal with several shots. But the Javahays couldn't cross the final line until
the 86th minute, when senior midfielder Colleen Colvin sent a pass between two defenders to senior midfielder Meghann Haven — who got under the ball, touched it past the goalie and hit it in.
I was very excited,
Haven said. "I was afraid we were going onto overtime, and I didn't want to do that because we went overtime yesterday."
"I was very excited."
Soccer Ball
On Saturday, Ole Miss opened the game strongly, scoring a goal in the 18th minute. Kansas struck back about 20 minutes later when freshman forward Maggie Mason netted a header off junior midfielder Melanie Schroeder's corner kick.
Senior forward Johanna Larsson added a goal a minute later.
Sophomore goalkeeper Layla Young made five saves and earned her second season shutout.
Just before the half time, Schroeder's cor-
nerk kick found sophomore defender Brianna Valento's head, sending the ball into the goal like a bullet. Valento's first goal as a Jawhawk gave Kansas a one-goal lead.
"It's tough being a defender and going up on corner kicks. This is the only chance to score and it's rather important to you," she said. "So you've got to give all yougot."
Kansas' punishment continued in the early second half. In the 48th minute, Colvin, this time playing forward, buried a shot off freshman midfielder Jennifer Ray's pass.
After a scoreless extra session, an Ole Miss midfielder's shot in the 108th minute ended the game in a sudden death fashion and silenced the Kansas bench.
As the Jayhawks' looks faded, however, the Rebels resurged with two consecutive goals to force overtime.

Kansas (4-4) will open conference play Friday against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., and return to Overland Park to meet Oklahoma State on Sunday.

Texas A&M ends Kansas volleyball's winning streak
By Sarah Warren
Kansan sportswriter
It could have been the cheers led by five
BQTCC cadets and a sweater wearing collie.
Maybe it was the 1,000-person crowd.
Or maybe it was the No.19 ranking in front of the home team's name.
No matter what it was, the Texas A&M volleyball team proved to be too much for the previously undefeated Jayhawks, downing Kansas 3-0 Friday night in College Station, Texas.
The Jayhawks will be taking a mini-hiatus from Big 12 Conference competition when they play host to the University of Missouri-Kansas City at 7 tonight at the Horeksi Family Athletic Center.
Now 9-1, the 'Hawks are in need of a little recuperation time. And tonight is the closest they're going to get to a power nap.
"If we take it like a break, it's be a long evening," coach Ray Bechard said. "This team has played so well because we've played hard against every team we've played, and we'll have to play hard to be successful tonight."
The Jayhawks are 19-1 against the Kangaroos, but they won't be treating tonight's match as a cake walk.
Even though the numbers show that the 'Hawks played hard against the Aggies on Friday night, the women in the crimson and blue didn't win a game and lost 15,8-15,13-15
9. Nancy Bell and Mya Matt, outside hitter, led the Jawhavas with 16 and 15 kills.
"It was frustrating," Bell said. "I think it was one that we could have won. We just didn't have the fire we've had in the past."
In game two, Kansas' best game, the 'Hawks slowed the Aggies' progress by posting four ties. Down 7-11, Bell went on a killing spree, helping the team earn five straight points before A&M's Tara Pulaski and Jenna Moscovic threw a Sarah Rome kill back at the Kansas freshman outside hitter for match point.
"We actually played pretty well at the end of the first game and had a chance to put them away in game two." Bechard said. "However, (Friday's) match was the best we have competed down here."
Bell said she thought that the lack of the confidence that Kansas displayed when they beat Colorado last Wednesday was to blame for the team's first loss.
"I'm not sure if it was a lack of belief that we could beat a team ranked in the top 25," she said. "But we didn't play up to our top potential on Friday."
Therefore, the 'Roos will be a sort of therapy for Kansas before they take on No. 1 Nebraska Wednesday night at the Horeisi Center.
"It'll be a good chance for us to get together before we get back to playing conference teams," Bell said. "We need to regain that fire."

Jayhawks' win reminiscent of consuming too much beer
If you think about it, football is a lot like beer.
Neither is inherently good nor bad. It all just depends on the people involved.
Both can be quite enjoyable on a Saturday evening in the company of friends. Both are big on college campuses. And both are often associated with inappropriate, even illegal behavior.
This weekend, the Jayhawks were sort of like a 12-pack of Natural Light.
The evening started out well enough. It was sunny and beautiful outside, and the crowd seemed to be in a festive mood.
They got the job done, and paired it with a victory against Alabama-Birmingham. But the taste (read: quality of play) was none too good, and some fans were left with feelings of guilt afterward.
Moran Norris showed off some nifty feet and left would-be tacklers eating dirt with vicious stiff arms.
The 'Hawks shot out to a 14-point lead in the first quarter on a couple of Dylen Smith touchdown runs, and some exciting plays put the crowd in a celebratory mood.
But that initial buzz was soon followed by some indigestion.
Carl Nesmith really got the party started in the second quarter when he exploded a UAB screen play, submarining the ball-carrier and sending him head over heels. The crowd responded with appreciative "ooohs" and "aaahhs" to the slow-motion violence replayed on the video board.
You know how sometimes when you're drinking you suddenly feel really full and the beers start tasting foul? That's what the second and third quarters of Saturday's game were like.
Late in the second quarter, the Kansas special teams revisited their ineptitude from two weeks ago. Punter Joey Peliano lost a bad snap, and UAB picked it up for a 42-yard score.
Smith followed that with an interception, and by halftime the 'Hawks' lead had been cut to 14-10.
UAB started picking up on the 'Hawks predictable play-calling (heck, the fans could see our next draw play coming). And our over-eager, ball-chasing defense was constantly fooled by UAB misdirections.
Penalties and dropped passes contributed to a comedy of Kansas errors. At one point in the third quarter, the fans delivered a derisive cheer simply because Pelfanio managed to get a punt off.
But the 'Hawks perservered through that tough stretch, and a few big plays got the crowd back into a partying mood.
After falling behind 20-14, Smith finally connected on a long pass to wide open Roger Ross for a 59-yard touchdown. Joe Garcia blew the extra point but redeemed himself later with a 59-yard field goal, giving the 'Hawks a 23-20 lead.
The defense held the lead, and victory was ours. The party was complete.
But later, the morning-after guilt kicked in.
A tinge of shame accompanied the realization that — on two occasions in particular — we cheered big plays made by a player accused of sexually assaulting a Kansas soccer player.
It goes to show that sometimes when you drink (or root for your football team) you end up associating yourself with shady characters.
Should we then abstain from drinking and rooting completely? I don't think so — it's still possible to have a good time. But we should all stay aware of what's going on and be prepared to accept responsibility for our actions.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 18).
Today's birthday (September 10).
This could be a profitable year for you. Push yourself out of your rut in September. Go for the job of your dreams in October. Get what you want for your home in December. Work like a banshee to meet the demand in February. Ride the tide to success on your past accomplishments in June. You've already done the work by then, so you can relax.
To get an advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Spend all day reading a book. That's the best way to solve a puzzle at work, too. You haven't solved it already because there's something you don't know.
So follow an older friend's advice and find out.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
Your money is always important to you, now more than ever. If you stick with a strict budget, you could accumulate quite a lot. It may not be easy, but it sure could be profitable. Do the homework.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
After a slow start, you should gain momentum rapidly. Soon, you'll be far ahead of your competition. Set the machinery in place to accomplish your goals. Get the support of a person you care about a lot. This person is nearby, maybe even occupying the same living space.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Listen to a nagging feeling in the back of your head. Maybe you're trying to tell yourself something. History is probably not repeating itself, but you might avoid a future problem by reviewing a similar past situation.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7. A friend's suggestion could cost you more than it's worth. Don't get locked into buying something you don't want and can live without. You'd be wiser to spend on yourself by signing up for a class to improve your skills.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
If the person who signs your paycheck has a crazy new idea, focus on making it work. If you can, profitably, you might earn a bonus. If you insist that it can't be done, even if you think you're right, you'll make minus points.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
Contact a foreigner but don't try to visit yet. Don't worry if an answer or package is delayed, either.
It's most likely due to a problem beyond your control. Be patient and cheerful, and you'll succeed.
Eventually.
Scorpia (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
You have important friends, but don't bet too heavily on them. They may not be able to help you even if they wish they could. Rely on your secret resources.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
You may find another person quite attractive.
Don't get fixated, however, especially at work. Your boss will not be amused if you're not in the right place at the right time. Better set your alarm an hour early.
---
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
Work needs to be done. There's money to be made, too. If your heart's not in it, maybe that's because you'd rather be somewhere else. You might make a connection on Thursday, but otherwise, forget it. Concentrate on what you're doing instead so you don't goof up.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 9.
You are lucky — and getting luckier by the minute. Don't take anything for granted. One reason you're so successful is because you do the homework. Another is that you're so creative. Use those skills to gain a prize you've long sought.
2
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5.
Speak up to make sure your wishes are known.
You don't want a change to wreck something you like. If your money's involved, all the more reason to holler. Don't worry; you won't ruin the friendship — probably.

Their 23-game home winning streak came to an end before a Neyland Stadium-record crowd of 108,768, and the Vols lost on a play that will be debated for a long time.

More than 5.5 million tickets to events in Sydney and nearly 650,000 to soccer matches in Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane have been sold. About 1 million tickets remain available.
O'Neill would not say whether the late ticket rush would reduce the organizing committee's shortfall of about $65 to $70 million.
People waited in line for up to three hours at box offices yesterday as 65,000 tickets were sold. Tempers flared when many potential purchasers found that tickets to several events were not available.
"We are cautiously optimistic given the booming ticket sales, but we won't know exactly what our budget position is until we finish selling tickets at the end of the games," he said.

Garcia's field goal solidifies win
Continued from page 1B
receiver Roger Ross open deep for a 59-yard touchdown pass.
Of course, cynicism usually comes from repeated letdowns, and Garcia missed the extra point wide-right to keep the score knotted at 20.
"I couldn't believe it," Garcia said. "That's what I said to myself after I missed it."
Garcia redeemed himself, however, when he connected on the game-winning kick with 6:04 left.
Though the fans may have trouble believing that this Kansas team isn't the same team that has let them down in previous seasons, Allen said he had faith in this team.
"You saw it. I saw it. Everybody saw it." Allen said of his team's demeanor after Pelfanio's punt was blocked. "When we had that snap and trouble with the punt team, all our confidence went away. Everybody's mindset set, 'Here we go again.'
As the fans let their disapproval be heard after that play, they had to be thinking the same thing - here we go again.
But eventually Kansas pulled out the win to improve to 1-1, and the fans cheered with no second-guessing.
Notes:
Even if another difficult non-conference game might not be the best thing for Kansas, that did not keep the Jayhawks from scheduling one.
Kansas announced Friday that it would take on UCLA on Saturday, Sept. 8, 2001, at Memorial Stadium. The opportunity came after Missouri backed out of its possible game.
However, Kansas won't make a trip to Los Angeles. UCLA's non-conference schedule is booked until 2008.
Political guesswork
No need to vote, folks. Al Gore will be the next president of the United States.
The week-two game for Kansas has predicted the last six presidential elections.
When Kansas wins, so do the Democrats.
1996: Kansas 52, TCU 17 (Bill Clinton,
Democrat)
1992: Kansas 62, Ball State 10 (Bill Clinton,
Democrat)
1988: Auburn 56, Kansas 7 (George Bush,
Republican)
1984: Florida State 42, Kansas 16 (Ronald Reagan, Republican)
1980: Pittsburgh 18, Kansas 3 (Ronald Reagan, Republican)
1976: Kansas 35, Washington State 16 (Jimmy Carter, Democrat)
Ooops
Kansas repainted the names that garner the wall in the closed end of Memorial Stadium, but someone should have picked up a media guide before starting the project.
The name of Bobby Douglass was misspelled. Instead of "Douglass," the name-plate read "Douglas."
Douglass played at Kansas from 1966-68 before a 13-year NFL career.

Kansas win attributed to strong defensive play

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas football team escaped from Memorial Stadium with a 23-20 win against Alabama-Birmingham on Saturday night, and a large part of the credit for its success rests with the defense.
Although Kansas led only 14-10 at halftime, the Jayhawk defense stymied the Blazers offense in the first half and allowed the UAB offense just three points and only 69 yards. The Blazers rushed for 66 yards on 23 carries in the first half, an average of under 3 yards per attempt.
In the first half, the Kansas defense pressured UAB quarterback Daniel Dixon, sacking him four times and knocking him down or hurrying him. Dixon finished the first half with only three yards on 3-of-6 passing and throwing one interception.
Kansas coach Terry Allen said he was impressed with the defense's first-half performance.
second half — but scored only to more points.
Junior defensive end DeNard Whitfield
said the successful pass plays came from the
Jayhawks strong pass rush.
In the second half, the 'Hawks maintained their pressure on Dixon. The Blazers responded by running a number of successful draw plays and rushed for 186 yards in the second半叶 — but scored only 10 more points.
"I thought our defense played very well in the first half," Allen said. "There is no reason they should have had the 10 points."
"I guess that's what happens when you get upfield," Whitfield said. "If you've got quickness getting upfield, they're going to hurt you with the draw."
After the Jayhawks erased a 20-14 deficit and tied the game, the Kansas defense rose to the occasion and forced the Blazers to punt. After Joe Garcia's 50-yard field goal gave the
'Hawks a 23-20 lead, the defense forced UAB to nunt again.
The Blazers had one more chance when they got the ball back with 1:20 to play, but the Kansas defense frustrated them again. Junior outside linebacker Algie Atkinson sacked Dixon at the Blazer 45-yard line on the game's final play.
Junior defensive end Ervin Holloman said the Jayhawks tried hurrying Dixon into making mistakes.
"We were really trying to get in his face and
make him throw it." Holloman said. "I think we got a pick and probably sacked him about eight or nine times. He got knocked down a lot."
Senior free safety Carl Nesmith said the defensive line's strong pass rush made the defensive backfield's job easier.
"They were putting a lot of pressure on the quarterback," Nesmith said. "Every time we looked up, he was getting up off his butt. So we didn't have to hold coverage that long." — Edited by Wariso Chulindra
Texas falls to Stanford despite late-game rally
By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Stanford's DeRonnie Pitts caught the game-winning touchdown pass from backup quarterback Chris Lewis with 1:12 to play, and Stanford (2-1) held off No. 5 Texas 27-24.
Texas quarterback Major Applewhite was ineffective until the game's final minutes, when he led the Longhorns (1-1) back from a 20-9 deficit with 10 minutes to play, completing a 71-yard touchdown pass to B.J. Johnson and a 38-yard touchdown pass to Victor Ike.
But Texas' 24-20 lead was short-lived. Lewis led a hurried, four-play, 59-yard drive in just 43 seconds that culminated in Pitts' touchdown.
No. 7 Kansas State 76. Ball State 0
No mercy rule exists in NCAA football, but Ball State (0-3) could have used one. The Wildcats (3-0) built a 34-0 lead in the first quarter and held the Cardinals to 52 total yards in the game.
K-State's 76 points established school records for points scored in a game. The Wildcats' 11 touchdowns also set a school record. Quincy Morgan caught three touchdown passes, tying a K-State record.
No. 22 Michigan State 13, Missouri 10
The Spartans (2-0) trailed the Tigers 10-0 with 6:57 to play in the first quarter but held Missouri scoreless throughout the rest of the game.
Michigan State's David Schaefer kicked a 27-yard field goal with 10:48 to play in the game, putting the Spartans on top. Missouri (1-2) had been outscored 216-23 in its previous four games but nearly upset the Spartans, controlling the first half before succumbing in the fourth quarter.
No. 9 Washington 17, Colorado 14
Colorado, after leading 7-3 at the start of the fourth quarter, lost its third consecutive game. Washington quarterback Marques Tulasosopo led his team to two fourth-quarter touchdowns, giving the Huskies (3-0) a 17-7 lead.
Colorado quarterback Bobby Pesavento made his first start after two effective performances in relief. In the fourth quarter he drove his team down the field for a score, passing 19 yards to Javon Green for a touchdown, and Colorado (0-3) closed to 17-14. The Buffaloes had one last chance, but the Huskies defense stripped the ball from wide receiver Eric McCready.
BIG 12 CONFERENCE XII
Texas A&M 45. Texas-El Paso 17
Texas-El Paso (1-2) led Texas A&M 17-14 at the half, but the Aggies (2-1) dominated the second half on their way to a rout. Aggies quarterback Mark Farris completed 18 of his 29 passes, gaining 178 yards. Ja'Mar Toombs scored three second-half touchdowns, one of which was set up by Texas A&M's Jay Brooks when he blocked a Miner punt.
Oklahoma State 23, Southwest Texas O
Reggie White ran for 130 yards and
 scored a touchdown for the Cowboys
(2-0). The Cowboy defense dominated
the Bobcats the entire game, and the
Southwest Texas offense managed a
total of only 141 yards. The Division I-
AA Bobcats (1-2) gained just 36 yards
rushing. The Cowboys shut out an
opponent for the first time since 1997.
Texas Tech 26, Louisiana-Louisville O
Red Raiders quarterback Kliff Kingsbury completed 24 of 37 passes for 240 yards, and Texas Tech (4-0) rolled to a win against the Ragin' Cajuns. Louisiana-Lafayette (0-3) trailed 13-0 at halftime. Red Raider Tim Baker scored on a 2-yard pass and set up another touchdown with a 71-yard run with a screen pass. Texas Tech's Wes Welker also returned a patt 63 yards for a touchdown.
Iowa State 24, Iowa 14
Iowa State quarterback Sage Rosenfels passed for 228 yards and ran for two touchdowns, helping the Cyclones (3-0) beat the Hawkeyes (0-3) for the third consecutive year. Rosenfels completed 17 of 26 passes and ran for 59 yards on 12 carries. The Cyclones scored on their first offensive play when J.J. Moses took a reverse around left end for a 58-yard touchdown run.
Minnesota 34, Bavior 9
The Bears (1-1) suffered a big blow in the first quarter when starting quarterback Greg Cicero suffered a fractured left collarbone. Minnesota's Thomas Tapeh ran for 183 yards and caught a touchdown pass. Minnesota (2-1) led only 13-3 at halftime but wore down the Bears in the second half.
Notes: No. 1 Nebraska and No. 18 Oklahoma did not play this weekend. The Jayhawks' next opponent, Southern Illinois, defeated Northern Iowa 34-14.

Networks looking overseas to catch new show ideas
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The British are coming — to the fall TV schedule. And so are the Dutch, the Swedes, the Australians and the Japanese.
For anyone who hasn't been keeping up, several network hits of the past year were imported from foreign countries. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, the show that saved ABC, came from England, and Survivor on CBS got its start in Sweden.
There's more on the way. Millionaire continues and Survivor II is scheduled for January. Meanwhile, several new shows were hatched overseas. NBC bought Chains of Love from the Dutch creator of Big Brother, where one person will be chained to four others of the opposite sex. ABC is developing two group task-type shows, The Mole from Belgium and Jailbreak from Britain.
So what gives? For years, "foreign programming" meant the subversive, overeducated humor of Monty Python or such starchy dramas as *Masterpiece Theatre* with the even starchier Alistair Cooke.
Now, after years of exporting heaps of lowbrow popular culture to the rest of the world, the United States has turned the tables, becoming a voracious consumer of noo programming produced on foreign shores.
"The one thing we were really good at, after we lost the auto and electronics industries, was really stupid entertainment ideas," said Robert Thompson, director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University. "When the British crossed the Atlantic with Millionaire, what a sad day that was. We may even lose our supremacy."
The irony, of course, is that the two monster successes brought in from overseas were originally developed here. Quiz shows like Millionaire go back to the '50s, and MTV helped pioneer reality television eight years ago with The Real World.
Then again, the United States is just one of many countries importing successful TV formats. After being launched in Britain in 1998, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is now shown in 31 countries. The CBS version of Big Brother is one of the few around the world to have flopped.

Running teams improve at meet
Freshmen top Kansas finishers
Cross country coach Stanley Redwine views a running season as a series of steps toward a goal.
At the Iowa State Open meet Saturday in Ames, Iowa, both the men's and women's cross country teams took several leaps from last week's performance.
Redwine said he was excited that both teams came to the meet wanting to improve.

Texas senior guard declared ineligible
By Chris Wriston
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Is this strike three for the Texas Longhorns?
Quite possibly.
Senior guard Darren Kelly has been declared academically ineligible for the fall semester, coach Rick Barnes announced. If Kely improves his academic standing this fall, then he will be allowed to rejoin the team in late December.
"It is going to be difficult not being able to play this fall, but I have some academic issues that I need to take care of to return to the team," Kelly
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
said in a statement. "I am going to attempt to take care of that this fall and hope to rejoin the team in December."
Texas suffered two hard knocks to its hopes of a season as impressive as its 1999-2000 season following the graduation of Gabe Muoneke and the departure of first team All-America center Chris Mihm to the NBA.
Kelly was the top returning scorer
for the Longhorns after averaging 10
points and 3.1 rebounds per game in 1999-2000. He was also selected to the Big 12 Conference All-Newcomer and All-Bench teams as a junior and was the second-best three-point shooter in the conference last year.
Coach Rick Barnes said the loss would be hard on his team and was sad because Kelly had improved during the end of last season and the summer.
"He had really taken a strong leadership role on this team," Barnes said.
Leadership may be the area where Kelly's absence hurts Texas the most. Kelly is one of just three seniors on
Kelly is one of just three seniors on
the squad. In addition, seven roster players for the upcoming season are newcomers, making senior leadership a must for Texas. Five of the newcomers are freshmen and two, including forward Maurice Evans, are junior college transfers. Evans had played at Wichita State last year before leaving the Shockers because of disagreements with the coaching staff.
"With the addition of so many new guys this year, there is no question that his loss in the fall will hurt us," Barnes said. "Hopefully he be able to throw these into the game by a big lift heading into Big 12 Conference play."

Grbac has huge day in Chiefs first win
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The fans who booed Elvis Grbac in the first quarter never dreamed they were about to see the best game by a Kansas City quarterback in 33 years.
After having a first-quarter interception returned for a touchdown, Grbac threw five touchdown passes, including three to rookie Sylvester Morris, and the Chiefs swamped winless San Diego 42-10 yesterday.
No Kansas City quarterback had thrown five TD passes since Hall of Famer Len Dawson did it against Miami in 1967.
The Chiefs (1-2) had six sacks, five on starter Moses Moreno and one on Ryan Leaf, who replaced Moreno late in the third.
Leaf, who was 1-for-15 for 4 yards in Kansas City as a rookie in 1988, completed his first two passes, but his third went straight to Chiefs linebacker Lew Bush. The former Charger returned it 33 yards to the Kansas City 43, and a moment later, Morris made a leaping catch in the corner of the end zone, nutting the Chiefs on top 35-10.
Morris, a 6-foot-3 Jackson State product and the Chiefs 2000 first-round draft pick, had six catches
for 112 vards and three scores.
Riddling a Chargers secondary weakened by injuries to cornerback DeRon Jenkins and safety Jason Perry, Grbac was 20-of-33 for 235 vards.
Moreno, making his first start for San Diego, was 11-of-22 for 107 yards before leaving the game because of a shoulder injury.
After spotting the offensively inept Chargers 10 points in a mistake-filled first period, the Chiefs quickly took complete control. Counting an 0-4 preseason, Kansas City had lost eight in a row, going without a win since last Dec. 18.
Morris scored his first NFL touchdown on a 36-yard pass five minutes into the second quarter. His 23-yard reception and a pass interference penalty on Scott Turner led to Tony Richardson's 1-yard scoring TD catch at the end of the halt.
Morris beat Darryl Lewis in the end zone on a 9-yard touchdown pass midway through the third period, and Grbac found a wide-open Troy Drayton for a 2-yard scoring pass that made it 28-10 in the third.
Rookie Frank Moreau scored on a 1-yard run with 1:57 left for the final score in a game that left the Chargers 0-3 for the first time since 1992.

Chain stores set up shop in Lawrence
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
National corporations are increasingly looking to Lawrence as another link in their chains.
Ingo Lawrence is another link in the chains. Eddie Bauer, American Eagle, Talbots, Gateway Country Store and another store from Gap Inc., which owns the Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy, will open during the next six months. The Gap, currently at 647 Massachusetts St., will move to a new location on the same block, and another Gap Inc. store will move into 647 Massachusetts St.
These stores are moving to Lawrence because of the expanding population, the burgeoning Kansas City-Topeka corridor and the student population, said Severin Roberts, director of operations and research at Information Pathways Inc., a Lawrence company that primarily supports smaller businesses.
"It's a college town, so there are a disproportionate number of people spending more money than they make in this town, and everybody wants a piece of that," she said.
NEW BUSINESSES
Eddie Bauer will open Sept. 28 on Massachusetts Street.
The Gap, currently at 647 Massachusetts St., will move to 643 Massachusetts St. Nov 21.
- Another store from Gap Inc., which owns the Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy chains, will move into 647 Massachusetts.
Tallots is scheduled to open in January 2001 at 648 Vermont St.
American Eagle is scheduled to open Nov. 14 at 619 Massachusetts St.
Gateway Country Store, a computer retail store from Gateway Inc., is under construction near SuperTarget, 3201 Iowa St.
Except for Gateway Country Store, which is under construction near SuperTarget, 3201 Iowa St, the new stores will be clustered on the 600 block of Massachusetts and Vermont streets.
Bill Sepic, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said the addition of national businesses to the downtown would foster a better
business environment and keep Lawrence residents at home for their shopping.
"People enjoy the environment that Lawrence provides; they like the idea of Massachusetts Street and the idea of local entrepreneurs." Sepic said. "And most certainly the national retailer will be able to satisfy the other needs people have."
Sepic said a balance of local and national stores was important.
"If you don't maintain the balance downtown, it could result in a mall," he said. "This addresses the need without consideration of a regional mall."
Randee Brady, director of the KU Small Business Development Center, said the flavor of downtown Lawrence could change with more national businesses.
"Many of the independents are very focused on the local market and very responsive to changes in the local area," Brady said. "When you get too many of the national chains downtown, Lawrence will look like every other town."

Stephanie Rejba didn't think anything of the solicitors that came in with her roommate Sarah last week.
They said they were selling magazine subscriptions for points in a journalism class. They even gave her a ride to an ATM so she could pay cash, which would give them more points.
Rejba, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, and other students living on the fourth floor of McCollum Hall didn't suspect the magazine subscriptions they bought last week were shady until they realized that they didn't get a receipt and that soliciting is illegal in residence halls.
"We don't know if they're legit," Rejba said. "We don't know if we're going to get our magazines or if it was a scam."
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said University policy states that solicitation of any kind is not allowed in residence or scholarship halls. This includes magazine subscriptions, filers or anything that can be slid under a door.
Stoner said students should report anything out of the ordinary.
"Periodically, we get solicitors going door to door without permission or authorization," Stoner said. "We get called, and we try to put a stop to it as soon as possible."
Rejba's roommate, Sarah Colteryahn, Stilwell sophomore, said two men solicited her on her walk home from class to McCollum Hall. They began by asking her, "Are you nice?", and when she said yes, they began their sales pitch. The solicitors, who called themselves Trey and Jay, drove her back to McCollum Hall in a BMW with tinted windows.
"I invited them back to the dorms," Colteryahn said. "I didn't expect them to come and harass my friends."
After soliciting Colteryahn and Rejba, the two men started going door to door. Colteryahn said the two men hit on many of the girls they talked to and that Jay kissed one of her friends.
"They went up and down the hall saying they were friends of mine, then solicited them." Colteryahn said.
Megan Maise, St. Charles, Ill., sophomore and fourth-floor resident assistant at McColum Hall, said that the solicitors had brochures with no prices listed and that they administered a receipt to only one of the seven or eight girls who subscribed. They only took checks from a couple residents and asked that the checks be made out to two different places, London International Magazine and Worldwide Circulation Inc.
Maise and four other students filed a police report. They also called both companies to confirm their orders last Tuesday. The companies told the residents that if they didn't get the receipts in three to five working days, they would get their money back.
Colteryahn said the two solicitors probably made close to $800 off her and her hall mates.
"They were really smooth, and we just didn't think about it too much," Colteryahn said.

Professor uses unique teaching methods
[Image of a man in a meditative pose, wearing a white shirt with a circular emblem on the left chest.]

Kansas stt writer
Robert Nunley sits against the wall in his office with his eyes shut, his thumbs and forefingers together and his feet crossed above his knee.
— a formal meditative pose. Nunley is deciding his students' grades.
Nunley, professor of geography, has taught at the University of Kansas for 39 years and decides his students' final grades after having meditated on them individually, using a formal form of voga meditation.
"It is done between 4 and 5 in the morning," he said. "I sit there until I totally comfortable that a tentative final grade is right."
Nunley said that although he was contemplating, he was in a hypnotic state closer to sleep than to alert consciousness. He said the state of programmed meditation affected the outcome he reached.
"I don't compare one student's work in class with the others, but with personal performances," he said.
In addition to the way he determines final grades. Nunley conducts his classes uniquely as well. For example, he does not administer tests and quizzes for evaluation. Instead, students are assessed by their overall performances in the class.
"I'll discuss with any student any question except grades," he said. "Students do not really know where they stand unless it is at failure."
Matthew Makens, Hutchinson junior, is in Nunley's Integrated Microcomputer Systems class. He said he liked how Nunley focused on individual effort rather than going strictly by exams and quiz work.
Nunley's classes, which are Tuesdays and Thursdays, consist of one day of in-class discussion and the other in an online chat room.
"At first it was shocking, but after you think about it, it's intriguing," he said.
Nunley said that after assessing each student at the end of the semester, he gave students a chance to appeal the result if they were not satisfied.
"I have an obligation to grade — but grade in a way that's more open," he said. "I would love to have every student get an A."

UNITY dance troupe celebrates hip-hop, embraces diversity
By Leita Schultes
@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Their filer asks for "fellas with mad skilz and ladies who can work it out." Their hope is to embrace diversity through hip dance.
Betty Olson and Raheisha Nard are this year's leaders of UNITY, a hip-hop dance troupe open to all races and genders. Tryouts for UNITY will begin at 7 tonight in the Hashinger Hall dance studio.
Eve Bradley, Shreveport, La., senior,
started the group five years ago. At the
time, she said, being a cheerleader or aCrimson Girl were the only options for people interested in dance.
"I grew up with hip-hop, and it's just a part of my life," she said. "I just wanted to make up a dance troupe for people who loved hip-hop and hip-hop dance."
But more important than dancing was bringing together people from all cultures, Bradley said. In its first year, UNITY's 20 dancers represented many races, and last year's dancers were African-American, Caucasian, Asian-American and Native-American.
"But when we performed they couldn't say anything," she said. "Although we were diverse as a people, our hip-hop was still hip-hop."
Bradley said she had heard the same reaction at first. But people are embracing

Sociologist to speak about global masculinity
An internationally known researcher of masculinity and men's studies from the University of Sydney in Australia, is giving the Carroll D. Clark distinguished lecture at 3:30 p.m. today at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
R. W. Connell's lecture, "Understanding Men: Gender and the New International Research on Masculinities," will offer his perspective on developing research in masculinity while challenging the audience to think globally about issues usually thought of as local.
Connell is a professor of education at the University of Sydney and a former professor of sociology at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He has written or edited 18 books, with his most recent, *Masculinities*, being published on three continents.
Joey Sprague, professor of sociology said there were only a few scholars who spoke about globalization with gender issues and that Connell was one of the top gender scholars in the West.
"He's got a wide-ranging mind, and his ideas are exciting." Sprague said.
The lecture is named for Carroll D. Clark, a former KU professor of sociology and department chairwoman who died in 1978. The lecture continues her mission of inviting outstanding sociologists to campus to share insights and research regarding contemporary social problems.

Transit strike halts bus, rail, subway in LA
Some commuters showed up at bus stops and waited in vain as temperatures rose into the 90s.
LOS ANGELES — A transit strike forced nearly half a million Southern California commuters to scrounge for rides or get behind the wheel themselves yesterday at the start of the workweek, worsening traffic on already clogged streets and freeways.
Some 4,300 members of the United Transportation Union went on strike about wages and overtime Saturday, halting 2,000 buses and rail and subway lines serving a 1,400-square-mile area. An estimated 450,000 people in the car-dependent region depend on the transit system.
No new talks were scheduled, but Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Rick Jager said transit system negotiators and a state mediator were ready to bargain.
Firefighters hope rain cool weather slows fire
BOULDER, Colo. — Damp, cool weather moved in yesterday as firefighters battled an 1,110-acre wildfire that threatened more than 130 homes, but more wind was possible.
Hundreds of residents remained evacuated from the mountain neighborhood yesterday.
The blaze slowed slightly during the night as light rain fell, but firefighters were concerned that 30 mph wind gusts forecast later in the day would send the flames racing again through tinder-drv trees and vegetation.
On Sunday, the fire had jumped from treetown to treetown and across roads.
Firefighters said the blaze was zero percent contained, discarding an earlier estimate of 15 percent containment.

Peru's president wants to hold new elections
LIMA, Peru — President Alberto Fujimori's stunning decision to call new elections and end his 10-year authoritarian reign has launched Peru into an uncertain future and left many wondering how its powerful military will react.
Rumors swept Lima on Sunday that Fujimiori decided to call new elections because of resistance from top military officers when he said he would deactivate the National Intelligence Service, run by Vladimiro Montesinos, his shadowy alide at the center of a bribery scandal.
But Fujimiori appeared to be in control of the armed forces Sunday, and military barracks were reported to be calm. Fujimori said he would not be a candidate in the new elections. Many Peruvians, however, still view Montesinos as the more powerful of the two and fear he will resist leaving power along with Fujimori.
High fuel prices cause fishermen to block ports
MADRID, Spain — Angry fishermen blocked Spain's second-busiest port, and protests regarding the high price of diesel fuel spread to Israel with truckers threatening to paralyze the nation's roads.
About 20 fishing boats dropped anchor just outside the mouth of Barcelona, Spain's second-busiest port, before dawn, and remained there as night approached.
In Europe, truckers in Sweden, Norway and Finland blocked ports and oil terminals as governments held talks aimed at ending the actions.
At least 1.3 vessels were waiting to dock in Barcelona, and two cruise ships were diverted to other ports, one
to the Mediterranean island of Mallorca and another to Valenci
The government is refusing to reduce taxes, saying Spain's percentage is low compared with what consumers in other European Union countries pay.
Railway will connect North, South Korea
IMJINGAK, South Korea - South Korea started rebuilding a railroad line across the world's most heavily armed border yesterday, saying the new link will serve as an avenue for exchanges with isolated communist North Korea and trade with fast-growing markets in China and Russia.
When completed by next fall, the railway, and a new four-lane highway running alongside it, will link the two capitals: Seoul, South Korea, and Pyongyang, North Korea. The railway and highway will become the first direct transport link between the two Koreas since the Korean War.
Police chief fired amid controversy in Indonesia
JAKARTA, Indonesia — President Abdurrahman Wahid fired his national police chief yesterday after police failed to carry out his order to arrest the youngest son of ex-dictator Suharto in an effort to end a spate of unexplained terrorist bombings.
The blasts, including one that killed 15 people in a garage beneath the Jakarta Stock Exchange on Wednesday, have cast a shadow of fear on the capital and have shaken Wahid's year-old reformist government. The dismissal of Gen. Rusdihardjo also comes amid international condemnation of Indonesia's security forces, particularly the police, which failed to stop the mob murderers of three U.N. humanitarian workers Sept. 6 in Indonesian West Timor.
Military leader's home attacked in Ivory Coast
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — Machine-gun fire echoed through the streets near the home of Ivory Coast's military leader yesterday, amid growing tensions in the military over pay disputes and deep political divisions.
Military officials said the private home of Gen. Robert Guei, in an upscale residential neighborhood on the edge of downtown Abidjan, had come under attack early yesterday morning by an armed group wearing civilian clothing. Reinforcements had been sent to the home to help defend it, the officials said. One person was killed and four were badly injured in the fighting, one of the officials said. But the sound of gunfire began to diminish after dawn, and officials insisted Guei was not in danger.

Professor tries new approach
Continued from page 1A
Marisa Moreno, Wichita senior, said she liked how Nunley conducted class. Moreno is in Nunley's Honors Principles of Human Geography class.
"It takes awhile to get used to it; he really wants us to do our own thing," she said. "Sometimes it seems to not have structure, but it's enjoyable to learn things in a different way."
Moreno also said the online discussions were good opportunities
for students who normally would
n't speak up in class.
Nunley said he had this policy for 42 years and that he adhered to it for the students. Prior to teaching at Kansas, he taught at Wayne State University in Detroit.
"I like to do things in a way that the students find interesting," he said.
Robert McColl, geography department chairman, said Nunley's non-traditional method was legal and that no universal legalities existed for any departments at the University. He said a professor's teaching style only became a legal issue when his or her conduct was considered unethical and unprofessional.
— Edited by Warisa Chulindra
"So long as he maintains professional standards, then he's accomplish his ends," McColl said. "Nunley represents a challenge to the traditional mode of study and also represents very creative expression that few other faculty members across the University can provide."
Gordon fails to relieve drought
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Downgraded to a tropical depression, Gordon drenched parts of the Southeast yesterday but did little to offset the region's long-running drought.
Gordon caused scattered flooding, roof damage and power outages across Florida late Sunday, but no injuries or deaths were blamed on the storm. And it produced little more than hard rain yesterday as it streamed across Georgia and up the East Coast into North Carolina.
It was falling apart late yesterday, though 30 mph wind and rain were expected as it sped to
the northeast.
Gordon came ashore Sunday evening at Cedar Key on Florida's Gulf Coast with drenching rain and a 6-foot storm surge topped by waves.
On Sanibel Island, off Florida's southwest coast, Dona Alvarez woke to the sounds of her screen porch being ripped off by one of several tornadoes whipped up by Gordon. She said her house had at least $80,000 in damage.
"I could have been sliced and diced and been bleeding to death," she said yesterday, looking at the glass door that separated her bed from her patio. "Five feet in one direction, it would have sucked my head
right off."
Damage was estimated at more than $1 million at Sanibel, nearly 200 miles south of Cedar Key.
Florida water officials doubted the rain generated from Gordon would do much to relieve a drought that has plagued much of the state.
Near Tampa, where this year's rainfall is about 20 inches below the average of 51 to 53 inches, Gordon left as much as five inches of rain. Much of it did not seep into the ground, however.
"Just a heavy rain is not going to do it by itself," said Michael Molligan, a spokesman for the Southwest Florida Water Management District.
Astronauts prepare station for crew
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Atlantis' astronauts tidied up their ship yesterday for the ride home, leaving behind a fully-stocked international space station.
NASA expects the space station's first permanent crew to move in six weeks, after years of uncertainty and delay.
"This crew certainly has laid out the red carpet," said space station manager Robert Cabana. "They accomplished everything we asked
"This crew certainly has laid out the red carpet."

them to do."
All that remains is for Atlantis to return to Earth before daybreak tomorrow.
Atlantis flew two laps around the space station early yesterday. The astronauts beamed down video that engineers will use to assess the con-
"It sparkled like a jewel out there against the blue background of the ocean," said Atlantis pilot Scott Altman.
The astronauts put away supplies for the three men who are scheduled to move in in November. They also installed the oxygen generator and treadmill inside the living quarters.
Russia's economic crisis had stalled construction of the living quarters, which in turn had stalled space station assembly in orbit. The delays spanned more than two years.

'Big Labor' is no cause for paranoia
My poor grandmother. One misguided contribution to Gary Bauer's presidential campaign and, suddenly, every far-right-wing freak writes her asking for money. One of the many crazed letters she recently received was from a legal fund, raising money to fight evil "Big Labor" in an upcoming federal court case.
The question of the case itself is interesting enough for us legal types: In addition to paying for regular expenses, can labor unions use money from membership dues to pay for political lobbying or supporting candidates who fight for their causes?
The question really doesn't matter to me all that much. Some unions give their
whether they want any of their dues to be used for political activities, and that seems like enough choice to me. What freaked me out about the fundraising letter sent to Grandma was how it attacked labor unions. Who knew organizations like the NEA (National Education Association) were insidious forces of vice trying to corrupt America's soul?
David
Grummon

conner@kansan.com
Apparently, anything big these days is bad.
Conservatives have long yelled about the evils of Big Government, while liberals yell about the evils of Big Business. I can see both sides — Government is powerful and has done bad things, and so have big corporations. I tend to yell more about the misdeeds of corporations, since I can always vote to fire the chumps in the government, or at least their bosses.
But fear of "Big Labor" really stumps me. Unions are just a bunch of workers, often blue-collar but sometimes professionals, who get tired of being kicked around, band together, and collectively bargain for things such as better pay, benefits or work conditions.
How this threatens me, much less my grandma, herself a former factory worker who now lives off Social Security checks, is beyond me. Then again, I'm not a CEO or stockholder.
During the Cold War, unions sounded vaguely communist to the rich and powerful, but that paranoia makes no sense today. Some unions used to be in the clutches of the Mafia, but strict governmental oversight makes that unlikely now
While governments and corporations have a lot of power and resources, a single worker really doesn't. The only way she can hope to confront the other "big" guys is to join others and together become something with influence and resources. The bigger unions are, the more clout ordinary workers have. And has our nation been the worse for it? Would we have the 40-hour work week, minimum wages, and a presumption that most workplaces won't kill us had it not been for the efforts of unions? Or were such gains, still lacking in so many countries today, just benevolent gifts from businesses? Of course not.
While we have some unions that sometimes seem a little ridiculous, most are good and have improved the lives of millions over the years. That being said, organized labor simply doesn't have the clout and power it once had. Unionized workers make up a smaller percentage of our work force now than they have in decades. With liberalized trade, business interests have far more pull in Washington, as they can move jobs or billions of dollars of investments out of any district and into other countries. Unions are much less of a worry now to whomever it was that seemed to feel threatened by them, least of all my poor grandmother.
Should Grandma be afraid of Big Labor and their devious plans to—what? Raise the minimum wage or ban the sweatshop conditions that made her polyester-cotton blend blouse? Of course not, and unless we're the head of a multinational corporation, neither should we.

Perspective
Vending machine prices leave students hungry
If I didn't spend $300 on books again this semester, I probably would, have more than just loose change in my pockets. That makes buying lunch difficult.
For the last two years I have settled for Grandma's fudge chocolate chip cookies and a soda to quench my lunchtime appetite three days a week; total cost: $1.45. Now, after the price increases in vending machines last week courtesy of the Treat America snack sharks, I guess Ull just have to starve
It's not like I haven't become used to starving though. At least twice a month, on average, the Treat America vending machines have made like a grade school recess bully and stolen my lunch money. Well, they haven't actually beaten me up — although I have beaten on the machines on a regular basis because of anger — the machines have taken my money without completing the transaction
I have actually put money in the machine and it has put across the "Thank You" message without even turning the wheel to try to give me my food. Understandably, my "You're Welcome" was a giant dent in the side of the machine, courtesy of my left foot.

I know that machines are not perfect; sometimes they make mistakes and screw up. That's why Treat America has the yellow reimbursement slips for us to inform them when we have been robbed blindly by its machines. Unfortunately, on the rare occasion reimbursement slips
indicated by pushing F4 on the Stauffler-Flint Hall vending machine.
are actually there they are usually all filled out by billions of students who have already been ripped off by the machines. Last spring I called Treat America seven times during a three-week period in an effort to have the Stauffer-Flint machine either repaired, replaced or at least have more reimbursement slips added.
That number is 1-800-727-6092. Feel free to call and give a piece of your mind. Don't expect Treat America to listen, though. Not a single one of my calls was returned, nor were slips added until the machine needed to be restocked.
Before the University responds to Treat America's demands, the company needs to respond to students' needs. Perhaps my way of thinking is far too complicated for Treat America — which would be understandable, considering a simple task such as returning a phone call is extremely difficult — but the company needs to deliver its product to students hassle-free for an extended amount of time before it even thinks about increasing prices.
"The institution was responding to a request from Treat America to meet cost increase," he said.
David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, attempted to explain the cost increase.
Bill Griffith, Chicago junior, said it best: "If we're stupid enough to still buy the vending machine food, then we can't blame them for raising the price."
The solution to fighting the silverstealing price-raisers at Treat America is simple.
Translation: Don't buy the vending machine food ever.
Save your pocket-change and buy some of the fresh-off-the-floor appearing, but tasty, pizza at Wescoe Terrace.

Students: Lend an ear to KJHK
KJHK's format changes offer valuable alternatives to music lovers.
Students who are disillusioned about recent format changes by local radio stations such as KLZR and KXTR should realize that an alternative exists with which to satisfy their musical desires: KJHK
Those tired of a Lazer dominated by bubble gum and infuriated that KXTR has forsaken its classical style should give the Sound Alternative a try.
As the student-run radio station at the University of Kansas, KJHK (90.7 FM) is free of ever-increasing demands to switch to boy bands and Britney. As a station for students by students, DJs can spin records from a wide variety of musical genres, from hip-hop to jazz to electronica.
KJHK has a specialty program for almost any musical taste. Requests for a wider spectrum of music have resulted in the addition of Breakfast for Beat Lovers, a morning program that offers hip hop, funk, reggae and soul tunes. Regular college rock and jazz rotations are supplemented by special programs such as Hilltop Lounge, an open forum for campus issues, and La Pocha, which highlights Latin music.
Other valuable KJHK broadcasts are distributed over the airwaves. Those who cannot make it to Memorial Stadium for games can hear the action on 90.7, and Plow the Fields features up and coming local music.
A national magazine article naming great radio stations in America called it "one of the most rocking front-line college radio stations in the country." It has also drawn acclaim for being the first station to feed its broadcast continuously over the Internet.
The KJHK staff goes to great lengths to reach its base, fellow University students, and it deserves support. For those who crave Top 40, the Lawrence radio waves offer plenty of options. However, for a vast assortment of programming, students should give KJHK a try.

I find it funny that the KU Pro-Choice Coalition is raising such a stink over the sexual assault case and how poorly the Athletics Department handled the situation when they promote one of the biggest social injustices: the horrible slaughter of millions of unborn, helpless babies.
I'm tired of groups on campus slandering Terry Allen. He's done a good job since he's been here. He isn't responsible for his players' actions. Even though as a coach it doesn't reflect well on him, people need to leave him alone. He's a good coach and a good man.

It's actually better to buy the $1 bottles of Coke instead of the cans of Coke because Coke makes more money on the cans than on the bottles.

People should give the University Registrar the most current contact information, so when your friends call to get your address and number, it's the right one.
How lame can CBS be to bring back The Fugitive as a new series? How many times does this stupid story need to be told?

Students, put your newspapers, your cigarette butts, your pop bottles in the trash. You want to be treated like adults, then start acting like one.
People shouldn't trash the marching band. If only you knew how much work they put into each show, maybe you would realize how dedicated they are to KU.
Spending 25 hours a week to entertain you closed-minded people must not be good enough. I guess you would only be satisfied if Eminem performed at our half-time show.

Five lifters reinstated
Olympic officials seek out drug-using competitors
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — A day after the entire team was banned for drug violations, five "clean" Romanian weightlifters were reinstated for the Sydney Games when their Olympic committee agreed to pay a $50,000 fine.
On Sunday, the International Weightlifting
The IOC and international and national federations all were in apparent conflict in the case of the Romanian weightlifting team.
Federation announced the entire seven-person Romanian team had been banned after two lifters tested positive for the banned steroid handrolone in out-of-competition controls prior to the games.
OLYMPIC GAME
A third Romanian lifter had failed a test earlier this year and was left off the team.
The IWF said it was invoking its "three-strikes-and-out" policy under which a national federation is suspended for a year in the event of three positive cases in 12 months.
The money was put up by Ion Tiriac, the former fiery tennis star who now is president of Romania's national Olympic committee.
"I am not going to punish those who are not guilty for the ones that are guilty." Tiriaa said. "For the
athletes that worked for four years — I have no right to say, 'Because someone else did wrong, you are going to be punished.'
IOC Sports Director Gilbert Felli said he had received a satisfactory verbal explanation from IWF leaders.
"This thing is clear: The two athletes who are positive will be expelled," Felli said. "There's no doubt about that. It was only the sanction against the federation for the other athletes that was unclear."
IOC spokesman Franklin Servan-Schreiber dismissed suggestions that the reinstatements signaled a softening in the fight against doping.
"There is no message in punishing people who are innocent," he said. "Being tough doesn't mean being unfair. What's important is to catch the cheats and that that's done."
Tiricac said he would continue to pursue a zero-tolerance policy against drug users.
"The these people are not cheating us or this competition," he said. "These athletes are cheating the world. I prefer to have one clean medal than have five dirty medals."
In another high-profile doping case, former Olympic 5.000-meter champion Dieter Baumann of Germany was ruled out of the games after losing his appeal against a four-year suspension for steroid use. An arbitration panel of track and field's international governing body upheld Baumann's two-year doping suspension.
The International Amateur Athletic Federation panel rejected Baumann's defense that someone spiked his toothpaste with a precursor for nandrolone.
Baumann, 35, had hoped to be reinstated in time to compete in his fourth Olympics. In other developments:
— The World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA) said one more athlete who tested positive in out-of-competition controls could be identified and expelled today.
- Nine Olympians have been suspended for drug use found in pre-games tests, including six banned from the athletes' village. Schamasch said.
Kansas athletes win at Olympics
Two Kansas athletes were victorious in their events Sunday at the Olympics in Australia. One of them is bringing home a silver medal.
Tara Nott, of Stilwell, won a silver medal in women's weightlifting at 106 pounds in Sydney. Nott, 28, lifted a total of 407 pounds in the first women's weightlifting event at the Olympics. Her total was the same as Indonesia's Lisa Rumbewas, but Nott took the silver because of lower body weight.

comes out is better than what goes in. The byproduct, vermicast, is as rich as anything around the Olympic Village. It'll be used to fertilize soil on Australian farms.
The win comes one day after the Americans opened the Olympic softball tournament with the games' first solo nohitter — a 6-0 victory against Canada.
Ambrosi, 24, had 103 hits as a UCLA junior in 1999, which broke Olympic teammate Jennifer Brundage's four-year-old school record for hits in a season. In the 1999 NCAA Women's College World Series, Ambrosi played center field as top-ranked UCLA beat Washington and captured its eighth NCAA softball title.
The Associated Press
Olympics environmental officials said the worms were the best way to promote the Green Olympics that Sydney promised when it vied to become the city for the 2000 Summer Games.
Call 'em Ring Worms: the Olympic equivalent of hundreds of thousands of tiny vacuum cleaners, devouring anything organic in their path. They work all but silently, squishing a bit if you put 'em near your ear. Most people don't.
The SOCOG, the Olympic organizing committee, is putting its faith in the creatures. At its 2,000-person headquarters, they've chewed on shredded documents since 1998, worming more than 90 percent of the site's secure papers into oblivion.
"People don't realize it's there, but it's silently chewing away," is the ominous assessment from Peter Ottesen, the organizing committee's environment program manager.
Good advice for any restaurateur. But these particular diners, who cluster by the thousands behind eating areas at the Olympics, won't be leaving a tip — only a pile of dirt.
Garbage in, garbage out, it's said. But here, what
SYDNEY, Australia — Keep the temperature comfortable; if they start to sweat, they won't eat as much. Don't stress them out, either, or the chowing-down will ebb. And if they mingle and look lively, you'll know they're having a good time.
Other initiatives, while less attractive, are equally determined. Everything from solar-powered lodging to endangered-species protection to responsible irrigation is documented in a 60-page government guide.
These are, after all, worms — worms that are eating their way through Olympic garbage morsel by delicious, rotting morsel. And here's the kicker: They're supposed to be there.
In refrigerator-size units behind four key Olympic sites—the Sydney organizing committee headquarters, the Main Press Center, the International Broadcast Center and the Olympic Park Novotel three varieties of earthworms work around the clock, chewing through more than a ton of scraps to help realize Sydney's promise of an environmentally conscious games.
The U.S. softball team dete-
tated Cuba, 3-0, Sunday in
But they consume and process about 500 pounds of waste per week. So far, it's kept nearly three tons of waste out of landfills.
Organizers aim to recycle 80 percent of the expected 5,500 tons of Olympic-generated waste, according to SOCOG's Patrick Fletcher. Only a small amount will be devoured by the worms, which are a pilot project.
Scott sees this becoming the major alternative to traditional composting. Future sporting events, he envisions, would employ battalions of garbage-chewing worms. He can see it now: Turin, Athens, Salt Lake City, all replete with delicious garbage ready for the munching.
And he's not worried his boy will get full.
"So far," he said, "they're always hungry."
Competitor tells tale of friend's sacrifice
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — How many times have we heard athletes say it? Sure, we're friends, they explain. But out there in the ring, or pool or court or field, it's all business.
Not for Esther Kim.
The striking 20-year-old taekwondo athlete from Houston has become famous for a very different kind of sports story, one of sacrifice in the name of friendship. She told it to Oprah Winfrey, and now she's telling it at the Olympics, as an honored guest at the games.
Yesterday, facing a roomful of journalists, Kim and her best friend, Kay Poe, were all giggles and stolen glances. Long gone were the tears that engulfed them on May 20.
That was the day they were pitted against each other in the final match of the flyweight category at the U.S. Olympic trials. Only one would get to represent the United States in Sydney.
But this wasn't just a story of two pals having to compete for a prize. There was a twist. Poel, 18, had dislocated her kneecap in the previous match. As she sat with Kim in the holding area, the joint began to swell. She could barely walk, let alone
fight.
So Kim announced her plan. She would bow out so her friend could go to the Olympics.
"Kay has always pushed a little harder and wanted it a little more," she explained at the time.
It was especially heartbreaking for Kim's father, Jin Won Kim, who was coach to both women. But he supported his daughter's decision and told her he was proud.
"In taekwondo, winning isn't everything," he said of the martial art that is heavy on kicking.
Now, all three are in Sydney. It didn't take long for the story to travel to Winfrey, who played host to the young women on her television show, and then to Juan Antonio Samaranch, president of the International Olympic Committee, who invited Kim to come to the games.
For now, Kim seems content telling her tale. She insists she has no regrets.
"For the first time in my life, I felt like a champion," she said of the moment she made her decision.
"She may have a gold medal around her neck," Kim added. "But I'll have one in my heart."
Kim plans to be there when her pal fights Wednesday, Sept. 27, and she said her dream was to see Poe bring home the gold.

Freshman excels in first big game
By Zac Hunter
By Zac Hunter

Kansan sportswriter
From an outsider's perspective, there isn't much to learn by pounding an obviously inferior team.
That may be the perception of Kansas' 3-0 pummeling of Missouri-Kansas City last night at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center. UMKC obviously didn't have the fire power to hang with the 'Hawks, and at times, it appeared as if both teams were just going through the motions.
Coach Ray Bechard said after the game that neither team looked particularly sharp, but was quick to point out that there were positives that came from the match.
The first and most important positive was the increased strength from Kansas' bench. With an abdominal strain sidelining senior middle blocker Danielle Geronymo, the stage was
set for freshman middle blocker Jordan Garrison to make a name for herself in her first significant playing time of the season.
She did just that.
Having just been told of her starting role yesterday, Garrison tallied eight kills in just 14 attempts and finished with a .500 attacking percentage.
Garrison said she thought she hit the ball well, but that part of her success was the result of her teammates setting her up effectively.
"I thought I transitioned well off the net and got to my sets pretty well," Garrison said. "Molly did a great job setting and got me the ball when it was there."
Garrison said it took her the first few plays to get into the swing of play and remember what it was like to play for an extended period.
With uncertainty about
"I thought I transitioned well off the net and got to my sets pretty well. Molly did a great job setting and got me the ball when it was there."
Jordan Garrison freshman middle blocker
Geronymo's abdominal injury remaining, it looks as if Garrison might get another chance to prove herself when No. 1 Nebraska comes to town tomorrow.
However, Garrison played the roll of the consummate team player.
She said that she was prepared for whatever happened but hoped that Geronymo got better soon.

Male gymnasts' Olympic dreams dashed
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — While the Chinese huddled near the vault planning their victory party, American John Roethlisberger blew a tearful kiss to the crowd, bidding adieu to a sterling career full of accomplishments.
The only thing missing was an Olympic team medal.
The United States finished fifth yesterday at the men's gymnastics finals, never coming close to China, second-place Ukraine or Russia, which won the bronze medal the Americans thought was finally within reach this year.
Roethlisberger and his teammates tried to put a happy face on the close of the latest chapter in this long quest for success. But the stark truth is that the Americans finished in the same spot they did at the Atlanta Games.
That's four years with no move up the scoreboard on the world's grandest stage. Not exactly the departure hoped for by Roethlisberger, or coach Peter Kormann, who announced he would retire when his contract expires Sunday, Oct. 1.
"You can be a great team and finish fifth," said Roethlisberger, the 30-year-old warhorse who ended his 12-year career on the U.S. team. "The fact we're still in fifth place is a tribute to how competitive the world of gymnastics is."
The Americans still have chances at individual medals. Three of them advanced to today's all-around final, while one advanced to the vault final and one to the floor exercise final.
During moments of pre-Olympic euphoria throughout the summer, Kormann guaranteed medals for the Americans.
They finished fourth during preliminaries, less than a half-point behind Ukraine, and had every reason to believe this might really be their year.
Then the finals started, meaning the prelim scores were erased and whole new cauldron of pressure was on tap. The team didn't handle it well.
Opening on the floor, Sean Townsend stepped out of bounds on the night's very first tumbling pass. Then, Morgan Hamm skidded and nearly fell on his backside. Five-time national champion Blaine Wilson stepped out of bounds. Finally, Stephen McCain crossed the white line twice.
The hole had been dug. The Americans were in sixth place, looking for a huge routine, a great score, a fist pump or a high-five to get them back in it. By the time it finally came, they were on the second-to-last rotation — the parallel bars — too late to make up so much ground.
The most glaring mistakes came on vault, the same event that had inspired confidence in preliminaries. On his landing, McCain jammed his bad ankle into the mat and wobbled to a finish. Townsend followed
with a crash on his backside.
They were unaffordable errors in an unrelenting sport. And they basically nullified the fact that Paul Hamm fell off the high bar twice and Wilson once on the night's last rotation; the medal was completely out of reach by then.
So they left the gym sticking to their pre-Olympic vow — that a medal wasn't the end-all if the team competed with pride and heart. Still, those tears on Roethlisberger's face weren't tears of joy. He won't get another chance to win a medal.
And there's no such thing as "wait 'til next year" for the rest of them — not on the Olympic stage, where progress is measured in four-year spans.
"We went out there and fought hard," said 17-year-old Paul Hamm, who will probably be back in 2004. "I feel we did everything we could. We did our best and ended up fifth and that's just the way it is."

Bon Jovi to tell his story on VH1
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — After nearly two decades of rock 'n' roll, Jon Bon Jovi has many stories to tell — about his six hit singles, seven records, five world tours and an Oscar nomination for best song.
But one of the most memorable is the story of Bon Jovi's performance on the MTV Video Music Awards in 1987, when he and guitarist Richie Sambora took to the stage to perform an acoustic version of their hard-rocking hit "Livin' on a Praver."
MTV credits the performance for giving birth to "Unplugged," the music channel's critically acclaimed show featuring the world's top acts in acoustic settings with small audiences.
It's one of the stories that Bon Jovi plans to tell when the band kicks off the third season of VH1's "Storytellers" at 9 p.m. Friday. The show will be taped Friday afternoon at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.
The inception of "Storytellers" marked the music channel's move from contemporary music video fare to a blend of rock, pop and hip-hop programs for an aging MTV audience.
"Storytellers" remains the flagship of VH1 programming and gives musicians a setting to tell the story behind a particular song and then perform the song before an audience of several hundred.
"It was the first new breed of VH1 shows, and I think it's when we started to come on the idea of the stories behind the music, which, in turn, has become our mantra," said series Executive Producer Bill Flanagan.
With an ongoing world tour and "Crush," Bon Jovi's first new album in four years, the "Storytellers" audience can expect a blend of old and new material - with a bit of nostalgia thrown in.
The show has drawn more than 60 performers, ranging from Billy Joel to Elton John to Wyclef Jean.
Crossword
"I hope they get a sense of who we are as individuals and what got us over the peaks and the valleys," he said. "In a weird way, I think our success was based on one simple fact: We were a garage band you could have been in. So, hopefully they'll feel like a part of that again."

KU BASKETBALL
Two potential recruits remain undecided
Two of Kansas' top basketball recruits failed to make commitments over the weekend — and that's both good news and bad news for the Jawhaws.
Starting with the bad, Alan Anderson, a 6-foot-5 forward from Minneapolis, Minn., visited Kansas last weekend and left without giving a commitment. During his visit, Anderson played a pick-up game with current Kansas players and attended the Jayhawks' football game against Alabama-Birmingham on Saturday.
Anderson will wait to visit Michigan State and Minnesota before making his decision.
on the bright side, Jaral Sampson, a 6-foot-11 center from Santa Ana, Calif., visited Connecticut last weekend and left without committing.
A published report spurred from the visit, however, stated that Sampson was souring on the Jahawks. But Sampson told Mike Sullivan of Insider's Report that Kansas still ranked high on his priority list.
"I don't know where that came from." Sampson told the Report. "But I plan on taking the visits to have something to compare to my Connecticut visit."
Along with Kansas and Connecticut, Sampson plans to visit St. Louis, California and UCLA.

Wrestling club aims for nationals
by Michael Sudhalte
by Michael Sudhathre
sports@konson.com
Konsan sportswriter
While wrestling may not be a varsity sport at the University of Kansas, that hasn't kept several members of the club team from taking advantage of some intense intercollegiate competition.
Last year, the 'Hawks won the Southwest Conference in a landslide against Texas A&M and placed 11th out of 54 teams at the national competition.
The club practices twice a week and competes in the National Collegiate Wrestling Association, which includes the clubs from Kansas State University, the University of Texas and Texas A&M.
The club usually has 20 to 30 members, some wrestle competitively and some just for fun.
Gabriel Bailey, Ellsworth junior, began wrestling competitively at the age of seven. He chose the University even after several recruiting visits to universities with varsity wrestling programs.
"Wrestling in college is a 10-month season," Bailey said. "I still wanted to wrestle, but I didn't want it to monopolize my time."
Matt Grise, Lenexa sophomore and the club's vice president, keeps that in mind when planning the practice schedule.
"Our practices aren't that hard." Grise said. "We keep them lowkey, and the wrestlers can work as hard as they want."
However, the wrestlers who travel to the regional competition in College Station, Texas, and the national competition in Dallas
have to show some extra effort in practice. Bailey said.
"As the tournament gets closer, we must get more and more in shape," Bailey said.
Francisco Chacon, Liberal senior, club president and former 5A Kansas State High School Wrestling champion, said he hoped this year's squad would improve its impressive 11th-place showing in 1999-2000.
"Our goal for this season is to place in the top five at nationals," Chacon said.

By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan writeswriter
It wasn't pretty, but Kansas overtook a bumbling Missouri-Kansas City 3-0 last night at the Horsesi Sport Athletics Center.
The 'Roos didn't put up too much of a fight, recording error after error — a missed block, a stuffed spike and several floor dives with a few digs.
Rebounding after their first loss of the season Friday night against Texas A&M, the Jayhawks cleared the Kangaroos 15-10, 15-9, 15-4 in their last non-conference match of the season.
In fact, the 'Hawks seemed to score more points off UMKC's out-of-bounds balls than their own spiking ability. In game two, the 'Roos hit at least 10 balls out of bounds, each resulting in a Kansas side-out or point.
"I didn't think that UMKC was too sharp or that Kansas was too sharp," said coach Ray Bechard. "It wasn't dazzling, but it was a win."
The win allowed Bechard to give playing time to several bench players, including freshman middle blocker Jordan Garrison who replaced an injured Danielle Geronymo, senior middle blocker.
Garrison, who had eight kills, said she was nervous because she didn't find out she was playing until right before the game.
"It's going to get a lot more interesting Wednesday night," Bechard said. "We will definitely be playing the best team in the nation."
"She definitely snowed the strength of our bench," he said. Kansas, now 10-1, will need all the strength it can get tomorrow night when it takes on No. 1 Nebraska at Horejsi.

"But I think I stepped up and did a good job," she said.

Despite victory special teams go unrewarded
By Jason Franchuk
Kansan sportswriter
Outside the Kansas football locker room hangs a row of picture frames honoring the players of the week. A large, glossy color photo of a stand-out performer typically fills each slot.
This week, one frame will be empty.
After another haphazard performance in Saturday's 23-20 win against Alabama-Birmingham, coach Terry Allen and his assistants chose not to have a representative from the special teams.
In the game against Southern Methodist, three punts were blocked that were converted into Mustang touchdowns, and there was one fumbled punt return. The Jayhawks chose not to select a player this week after only one punt was blocked.
"In the SMU game we thought we had somebody who deserved it." Allen said. "This game we didn't."
This week, there were a few candidates for the award. Senior kicker Joe Garcia booted a 50-yard field goal, which put the "Hawks ahead for the win."
Senior punter Joey Pelfanio averaged 40.2 yards on his five punts. Pelfanio did his best work in the worst conditions; he was forced to kick twice from Kansas' end zone. The key to getting the two punts off was a matter of speed, not distance.
"I just wanted to get the ball out of there as quick as I could," Pelfanio said. "I didn't care how far they went."
Allen said he would continue to evaluate the situation.
"We're not sold on anything in our punt team." Allen said. "We're evaluating the snapper. We're evaluating everything in the punt team."
Kansas coaches named the following award winners after the UAB game:
David Winbush, offensive player of the game. He had 10 rushes for 82 yards and two catches for 48 yards.
P. K. L.

Television closest most get to Games
G'day mate.
If I were an Olympian, I'd be saying those words to some cute Aussie right now. But unfortunately, my athletic skills are as skimpy as Anna Kournikova's outfits.
I can't do a cartwheel or a handstand. I was the only 5-year-old in my gymnastics class who couldn't walk straight on the balance beam. I can't hold my breath under water for longer than 10 seconds, so no 100-meter freestyle for me. My bump, set, spike would get me killed, and even though I played tennis fairly well in high school, Lindsey Davenport would use me for target practice.
The closest thing for me — and for most people — to competing in the Olympic Games is watching it on TV. And that's exactly what my roommate Carrie and I did all weekend.
Friday's opening ceremonies, while slow at times, embodied all the Olympic ideals of peace and love. The North and South Koreans walked into Stadium Australia hand-in-hand under a single flag after fighting for more than a half century. When the Americans entered in their white cowboy hats, even slam-dunk king Vince Carter seemed subdued by the Aussie crowd.
Saturday, we watched in awe as a 5-foot Russian lifted more than 450 pounds over his head in the weightlifting competition. And then we witnessed a Kansas native — Tara Nott, a weightlifter from Stilwell — win a silver medal. Nott wasn't expected to even qualify for the games, but she helped put Kansas on the map for the Australians.
Sunday, we saw the Russians fly through the air on floor exercises in gymnastics. Carrie showed me her tumbling prowess: a somersault-cartwheel combo. I was going to show her my impersonation of a cartwheel, but luckily the gymnasts came back from the commercial break.
Later, ex-Los Angeles Dodgers' manager Tommy Lasorda led the baseball team to its first win in the preliminaries. We saw American swimmer Tom Dolan break the World Record and win the gold medal in the 400-meter Individual Medley.
And even though I was upset that most of the male swimmers didn't wear Speedoes, I was impressed with the first weekend of competition and the new Olympic sports — such as women's water pool. Not only do they have to tread water, but they risk getting hit in the head with a ball. Talk about your all-time backfire.
But the most impressive move of the first weekend came off the court and started almost nine months ago. Basketball star Alonzo Mourning's wife will have labor induced next week for the couple's second child, and "Zo will fly home from Sydney to witness the birth. He'll return the next day to continue the American push for gold.
And, what a fun weekend. Maybe one day Carrie and I can compete — we're practicing for 2004, when hopefully tag-team shoe shopping will be an Olympic sport.

Clinic cares for the uninsured

By Melissa Davis writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Dennis Sale helps those who have nowhere else to turn.
If people are hurting, Sale offers relief—no questions asked. He gives medical attention to the uninsured — for free.
Sale, a physician at Prompt Care in Lawrence, started a medical clinic for the uninsured at Heartland Community Church, 619 Vermont St., because he wanted to make a difference.
Sale said he started the clinic in October 1999 in conjunction with Make a Difference Day, a national day devoted to caring. Since then, he and Peter Kimble, another local physician, along with a volunteer staff of nurses, have seen almost 300 patients.
Kimble has volunteered at the clinic, treating mostly non-emergency patients, since April, after moving to Lawrence from Oregon.
"When I first got in town, I wasn't seeing many patients on my own, so I asked Dennis if he needed help, and he said yes." Kimble said. "And I've been here since."
The church donates the space, and pharmaceutical companies around the country donate the medicine. Because the necessities are donated, the clinic does not charge its patients.
Heartland's pastor, Paul Gray, said the clinic saw anywhere from six to 20 people each day, many of whom are single parents or students.
Sale said he thought there were aspects to the clinic that made it bittersweet — especially when uninsured emergency patients come in and he doesn't have the resources to help.
"The majority of cases are generally people without health insurance who won't get help until it gets real bad," Gray said.
"Just knowing that I am sending someone with no insurance to Lawrence Memorial, and knowing that it will cost them and their families a small fortune — that is heartbreaking." Sale said.
Sale also said that no matter how heartbreaking the job was, it was still gratifying.
"The most rewarding part is to know that we are making a major difference in health care of the patients who otherwise have no means for health care because they have no insurance." Sale said.
The clinic is open each Tuesday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.
Sale said that the church wanted the clinic open full time, but that it wouldn't be possible without a grant, which the clinic is trying to get.
said. "And by the year 2002, we want to have an in-patient 24-hour clinic with half a dozen beds. That's why we are trying to get a grant."
"Our goal is to have a full-functioning clinic open four to five days a week," he
Another problem is staffing. The clinic is
now looking for volunteers. Anyone interested in helping out can visit the clinic during the clinic's hours or contact the Rev. Paul Gray at 832-1845 for more information. Edited by McDonald

Groups aim to bolster student vote
Kursten Phelps
Kansan staff writer
To rock the vote in November, you have to register first.
Student Legislative Awareness Board and other campus groups are kicking off voter registration drives to get University of Kansas students signed up and to the polls for the Nov. 7 national, state and local elections.
Jessica Bankston, SLAB legislative director, said the board hoped to register 5,000 students during its "Rock Chalk the Vote" drive.
As part of the drive, SLAB will sponsor a voter registration table at Wescoe Beach with the KU Young Democrats, College Republicans and possibly the KU Green Party. The Wescoe Beach drive will start Monday and last two weeks.
Bankston said SLAB was trying to make registration to vote as easy as possible for students.
"We're having students give me the cards because often they'll fill out the card and forget to mail it in," she said. "With our drive, we'll pick up the postage, and a letter from Student Senate will be sent to them reminding them to vote and telling them what precinct they're in."
SLAB also will visit student organizations, living groups and classes to try to register more students. Bankston said she hoped that by visiting freshman honors tutorials and PRE 101, an orientation class, more freshmen would register to vote.
The group also will try to reach off-campus and nontraditional students using drop boxes in the Kansas Union and other high-traffic areas on campus. Though only Kansas registration cards will be available at the tables and drop boxes, Bankston said out-of-state students could download a federal form at the SLAB Web site so that students could register in their home states. Voting at home, however, is not

Researchers, faculty bound by tutorial rule
Bv Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Some University of Kansas faculty members say KU expects too much from them.
They object to completing a new online tutorial the University requires of all researchers who deal with human subjects.
The tutorial fulfills a mandate from the National Institutes of Health, a federal organization that funds research at universities nationwide. The mandate requires that all researchers working on projects funded by NIH be trained in conducting research involving human subjects — including everything from medical tests to informal interviews.
The power-point style tutorial includes 100 slides of such information.
But the University will require the training for all research proposals involving people, whether or not they are funded by NIH.
"We wanted to apply the same standards to all of our researchers," said David Hann, coordinator of the Advisory Committee on Human Experimentation (ACHE).
ACHE must approve all research involving human subjects on campus. The new requirement applies to researchers proposing projects after Oct 1.
Norman Yetman, chairman of interdisciplinary studies, said it was unreasonable for the committee to require the same tutorial for researchers taking blood tests and doing medical examinations as for those who want to include findings from informal phone conversations in their research.
Students doing research involving human subjects are also required to take the tutorial. Professors wouldn't be able to answer questions from student researchers who had not completed it, Yetman said.
The tutorial is based on policies and procedures from Multiple Project Assurance, a federal document outlining ethical standards for human research.
Jama Lickeit, undergraduate coordinator for psychology, said she supported educating researchers on proper conduct in interviews and other human research — especially with graduate students reseaching using a pool of hundreds of Psychology 104 students.
"It's a good idea," she said. "If I was on the receiving end of an experiment, I'd want to know that the person conducting the experiment had done this kind of training."
Hann said he didn't think the measure was intrusive, especially since researchers could complete the tutorial online at their convenience.
"I don't think it's a big chunk of somebody's time," he said. "The idea is to educate people, to try to make it as easy as possible for people to do the right thing."
However, Hamm said he is concerned that graduate students with research proposals due shortly after Oct. 1, when the federal requirement takes effect, may not have time to complete the tutorial.
"This mandate came down in June, so we've had to deal with this on short notice," he said.
The tutorial can be found at www.research.ukans.edu/tutor.

Undergraduate Architecture program's future to be decided
Bv Jennifer Valadez
Kansan staff writer
The fate of KU School of Architecture will be finalized in two weeks.
Faculty and staff will be meeting soon to determine whether the school should eliminate the current undergraduate program and only provide a graduate curriculum.
John Gaunt, dean of architecture, said the transition would be a faculty decision.
"The architecture faculty will take
it under consideration and work on the program itself," Gaunt said. "The faculty sets the curriculum; it's really their determination."
Gaunt said faculty began considering the transition about 10 years ago, after seeing a national trend in adopting strictly graduate programs. He said the decision arose in the interest of the school's future.
"It came under discussion because we need to look into the future and do all the right things to determine the future of the school," Gaunt said.
Erin Himle, Hutchinson, Minn.
fourth-year architecture student.
said she didn't think the change would effect the current students.
"We're not sure how it's going to affect the degree we earn," she said. "As far as we know, we'll be fine."
James Gann, St. Joseph, Mo., fourth-year architecture student, said he didn't see anything wrong with the program becoming fully graduate as long as it didn't affect the futures of architecture students when they entered the professional world.
"I think it's a good idea as long as the students aren't hurt," he said. Gaunt said having a fully graduate
curriculum would change the length of the program from five years to six. But, he said students would benefit from a more expansive base of liberal arts subjects.
"There will be no impact on the current students," he said. "It will provide a broader understanding of the issues of the world at large."
Gaunt said the broader-based education would result in students attaining the characteristics that potential employers sought, such as good communication skills, comprehension of numerous issues and
leadership qualities.
Other Big 12 Conference schools that have adopted exclusively graduate architectural programs include Nebraska, Texas A&M and Colorado. Gaunt said the transitions at those schools went smoothly.
"Other schools have been able to transition without a problem," Gaunt said.
Gaunt said that faculty and staff of the school would meet in a couple weeks to make a final decision.
"We're at an appropriate juncture in examining the program and hope to get toward a decision," he said.

Animal rights group to protest on campus
A Kansas City animal rights group will be on campus today with information and human-sized cages to raise knowledge of Farm Animal Awareness Week.
People for Animal Rights will be at Wescoe Beach from noon to 3:30 p.m. with an information table, signs and a cage simulating the conditions animals face. Students are welcome to get inside the cages, said Emily Libia, coordinator of education programs for the group.
She said factory farming is turning farming into an industry and doesn't allow the animals to pursue natural behaviors.
"It's important because the demand for intensive animal agriculture in this country is polluting our planet, wasting an exorbitant amount of resources and seriously compromising our health." Libia said.

Ron "Rockin' Ron" Gleason, a KU on Wheels bus driver for 12 years, died in February 1999 at age 50. He was known around the University for the loud rock music and fun, easygoing atmosphere on his bus.
The concert will be from 8 p.m. to midnight at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The cover charge is five dollars, with all proceeds going to a college education fund for Gleason's son Raymond.
Damian Siwek, Wichita senior and Preferred Villain guitarist, organized the benefit. He said that if students weren't lucky enough to have tickets to the Dave Matthews Band concert tonight in Bonner Springs, they should definitely go to the Rockin' Ron benefit and see four of Lawrence's finest local bands.
"The bands are coming out to play for free," Siwek said. "And we're basically going to celebrate Ron's life and his son's future."

A speaker from the United College Marketing Services will be giving a credit strategy seminar on how students can avoid sinking into credit card debt.
The seminar, which should last about 20 minutes, is at 7 p.m. tomorrow in 330 Strong Hall.
A UCMS representative said college students were the prime target of credit card marketers because they were the only consumer group that could apply for credit cards without having a job, credit history or income.
Current statistics on college students and credit card debt show that:
- Interest rates on many campus credit cards tend to be higher than industry averages.
School administrators say they lose more students to credit card debt than to academic failure.
About 25 percent of college students carry more than $10,000 credit card debt.

Congress set to change trade relations with China
WASHINGTON — Congress is about to change the nature of U.S.-China trade relations in a vote supporters will say will add a critical element of stability between the two nations.
Senate passage Tuesday of the PNTR, permanent normal trade relations, bill is near certain, sending the legislation to President Clinton for his signature.
The measure is aimed at opening up China's markets, bringing billions in new business to American companies and making China a more responsible and accountable member of the world community.
Presidential race polls show differing results
WASHINGTON — Two new polls on the presidential race point to a highly competitive contest.
Democratic candidate Al Gore is 5 percentage points ahead of Republican candidate George W. Bush in a CNN-USA Today-Gallup tracking poll. However, a voter.com Battleground survey puts them in a dead heat.
New state polls offering a glimpse at the all-important race for 270 electoral votes indicate Gore is leading in California, New Jersey and Delaware, while the two are close in Nevada and New Mexico. Gore is up 18 points in the Democratic stronghold of Hawaii, while Bush is up in conservative Virginia by 7 points. In the national tracking polls, CNN-USA Today-Gallup put the contest at 48 percent for Gore to 43 percent for Bush, with a 4 percentage point error margin.
Gore and Bush are statistically even in the voter.com Battleground poll, with the Republican at 41 percent and the Democrat at 39 percent, with a 3 percentage point error margin.
Buchanan kicks off campaign at college
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Pat Buchanan was as feisty as ever and richer than before as he restarted his presidential campaign at fundamentalist Bob Jones University.
Decyring moral decay out of Hollywood, he said: "Instead of breaking up Microsoft, why don't we break up Disney?"
He attacked what he sees as a drift to one-world government, he said the United States should kick the United Nations headquarters out of the country. That brought the heartiest applause from the 2,000 students and supporters who showed up Monday night to see the conservative commentator, recently sidelined by gall bladder surgery, try to rev up his campaign.
His stop brought visibility to a lagging presidential effort, but one that received a $12.6 million infusion in federal campaign money last week when the Federal Election Commission decided he should receive money earmarked for the Reform Party. Buchanan has been barely drawing 1 percent in national polls.

Peru's future unclear; arrest raises questions
LIMA, Peru — The whereabouts of Peru's intelligence chief grew murkier amid conflicting reports of his arrest.
The mystery about the man at the center of Peru's growing political crisis deepened and raised questions about the government's stability. Meanwhile, pressure increased for President Alberto Fujimori to step down quickly following his stunning announcement late Saturday that he would call new elections — in which he would not be candidate — amid a bribery scandal involving spy chief Viadiami Montesinos.
In front of 10,000 cheering supporters in a downtown Lima plaza, opposition leader Alejandro Toledo called Monday for the immediate formation of an emergency government and the arrest of Montesinos.

Georgia sorority members agree to begin racial sensitivity training
The Associated Press
ATHENE, Ga. — The University of Georgia has lifted its suspension of a sorority accused of rejecting a potential member because she's an African American in a deal that requires members to attend sensitivity training.
University representative Tom Jackson said yesterday he hoped the case would help diversify fraternities and sororities and end the separate membership drives for Blacks and Whites.
"Our level of comfort with the state of segregation in the year 2000 is not very high," he said. "This gives us impetus to go forward in unifying that system."
Alpha Gamma Delta, housed in an ornate white mansion in the middle of the school's greek row, was prevented from holding social functions under a preliminary suspension imposed earlier this month.
Allison Davis, a member of the
sorority, wrote a letter to school officials saying that other members had made racially insensitive comments about the one Black woman who had sought membership in the traditionally white sororities.
In an agreement with the university released Monday, Alpha Gamma Delta agreed to educate its members in racial sensitivity and to ensure that its members felt comfortable confronting and reporting any inappropriate comments they might hear within the chapter.
Alpha Gamma Delta's lawyer pointed out the hypocrisy of punishing a sorority for rejecting a potential Black pledge when the university still holds a dual sorority rush — one for Blacks, one for Whites.
"My reaction was complete and total incredulity that in the year 2000, the University of
Georgia could possibly be sponsoring an open system of racial segregation," attorney R. Mason Barge said in a letter to the university.
Barge called the school's disciplinary proceedings a "witch hunt," and threatened a lawsuit if the university persisted in trying to discipline the organization.
Jackson said the university's rushes are segregated because traditional Black sororities select members during winterspring terms while traditional White sororites conduct "rush" in the fall.
"This issue has spawned an incredible amount of conversation on our campus," said Richard Mullendore, vice president for student affairs. "It's an issue many of us feel strongly about, and it goes beyond the Greek system. How do we, as an institution, educate our students and prepare them for the world beyond the University of Georgia?"

Students had the chance to tackle good health yesterday at Watkins Memorial Health Center's 13th annual health fair.
The fair offered students information about the many services Watkins offers, including labs, physical therapy and immunizations.
Students played games like sexual jeopardy, received free nutritional analysis and won various prizes.
Raeann Scharenberg, Lawrence senior, and a volunteer at the fair, said she thought the health fair was helpful but that more students should get involved.
"The majority of the people that come down here do it for a class, but since some booths deal with sex, it attracts other people," she said.
Other organizations were also on hand. Counseling and Psychological Services showed students how to make stress balls out of flour and a balloon.
Joyce Davidson, director of training at CAPS, said she thought that stress was a major underlying problem for Watkins patients. The stress balls could be useful for them, she said.
"We see a lot of cases of depression and relationship problems in which stress is involved," she said. "Stress just adds to it, intensifies problems."
Aside from informational booths, students also had a chance to win airline tickets, KU Fit memberships, T-shirts and free healthy snacks. Students had to visit nine or more tables to register for the drawings.
Jill Unger, Deerfield, Ill., sophomore, said she visited the fair to get extra credit for a class. She ended up enjoying the fair because it gave her a chance to find out about her general health, she said.
"I liked the fair because it let me know how my health was, in terms of my nutrition and blood pressure," she said. "It let me know where I stand."
Janis Ellis-Claypool, health educator at Watkins, said the fair attracted about 600 students each year.
The fair continues from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at Watkins and is free to students.

Editorial board: ID seizure policy is arbitrary, discriminatory
Questioning drinkers based on looks unjust
the Kansas Supreme Court is looking at a case in which University of Kansas student David
Pritchett was questioned about alcohol use merely for looking young. The confrontation led to his detainment and a number of charges, and many are upset by the fact that looking young is being confused with being a criminal.
The state argues that the detention was not in violation of Pritchett's Fourth Amendment rights. However, it remains unclear whether any type of seizure of materials can be rendered legal, even if it is a form of identification from an alcohol-consuming minor.
Alcoholic Beverage Control: Enforcement resources are limited
To get itself out of this mess, Alcohol Beverage Control needs to spread itself and its work more evenly. If the ABC is going to check one young-looking party-goer, agents need to check everyone else at the party.
fair reason why they discriminate against certain people and not others.
In the bars downtown, after one's ID is checked and the patron is admitted, alcohol can be purchased. If ABC wants to question anyone in the establishment who is holding alcohol, not only does the drinker have a right to say no, but ABC agents should have a
Underage drinking not a minor problem
The fact that Alcohol Beverage Control and law enforcement agents want to crack down on underage drinking is not a surprise because it could reduce the number of alcohol-related accidents. However, stopping at a social event where alcohol is being served and picking students based on their physical features is discriminatory.
Another flaw in this fight is that looks are subjective. Who is to say that one person looks young? Laws cannot be made based on a matter of opinion. People can legally drink once they are 21, not once they look like they are 21.
Alcohol Beverage Control is checking IDs using the same methods as racial profiling. Checking the IDs of one or two members of a party just because they look young and not checking others is not just. Regardless of whether those who are chosen are of legal drinking age, only pursuing those who appear young is inefficient because it leaves other illegal drinkers unbothered.
One question that arose was whether this situation violated Pritchett's Fourth Amendment right, prohibiting an illegal search and seizure. Furthermore, why would any ABC agent confront a younger-looking student on a mere suspicion when the U.S. Supreme Court states that anyone accused does not have to cooperate, according to the Fourth Amendment?
ansas law is clear about minors and alcohol.
Quite simply, it is illegal for persons under 21 years of age to possess, consume, obtain or purchase alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage. This law was passed by the Kansas legislature, in part, to address concerns about underage drinking, which costs the state of Kansas an estimated $388 million in emergency responses, substance abuse treatment, medical care, property damage, lost productivity, pain and suffering and criminal justice expenses. All Kansans pay a heavy price for underage drinking and our laws are designed to protect society as a whole.

Ben Tatar for the editorial board
Studies indicate that a significant number of Kansas youth place themselves and others at risk by consuming alcohol prior to the age of 21. Underage drinking often leads to accidental injury and death, vandalism, school failure and dropout problems, teen pregnancy and addiction. Statistics on the number of underage impaired drivers who are injured or killed in motor vehicle accidents or the number of young persons who must obtain serious mental and emotional health counseling also indicate that underage drinking in Kansas is a problem. Thus, laws that make it illegal for persons under the age of 21 serve a rational purpose of protecting the public's health, safety and welfare.
Local police and Alcoholic Beverage Control (a division of the Kansas Department of Revenue) agents are responsible for enforcing these laws. As part of their day-to-day activities, officers are allowed to approach persons and ask the individual's name and request identification. This may be done even when the person is not suspected of criminal activity. The person is free not to answer those questions. However, when there is reasonable suspicion that a person is committing, has committed or is about to commit a crime, the officer may detain that person and require a name, address and an explanation of his or her actions.
The Kansas Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld this law. In State v. Reno, the Court found that police in Chanute made a lawful investigatory detention of two persons who were walking down a residential street at 2:30 a.m. with what could have been an open container of alcohol.
The bottom line is age is an integral part of our alcohol laws. But it's certainly not the only law or policy with similar restrictions. You have to be at least five to attend kindergarten. To run for president, you must be at least 35. And most of us have to be at least 62, before we are eligible for Social Security benefits. Sometimes waiting doesn't seem fair, but it is the law.
The University Daily Kansan claims that stopping someone simply because he or she appears to be a minor is age discrimination. Why not check every ID in a crowded room or at a party? For one reason, there simply isn't the manpower. But perhaps a reasonable question to this newspaper is, would you want to live in that kind of police state?

Reasons, policies back Kansan news coverage
Unlike many of the projects of other studies that are viewed only by professors and classmates, the work of many journalism students is distributed to thousands of students daily. Readers of the Kansan have the opportunity to critique our work in a way that many other projects are never scrutinized.
Remember that research paper you wrote last semester? How about that Power Point presentation? Are you ready to share that with the entire student body?
The Kansan has been criticized in the Free for All for not naming the football players who allegedly sexually battered a soccer player. To one caller, it looks like we're in cahoots with the
Athletics Department. Ask Bob Frederick, and he'll probably tell you no. I'll bet he remembers last week's story about a survey of student athletes that reported sexual harassment among players.
Erin R. Barcomb

readerer@kansas.com
If the Kansan had been bowing to the whims of the Athletics Department, we wouldn't have run these stories, or any other story critical of KUAC.
Although some other newspapers have named the players, we have a good reason for not naming the football players — they were never arrested or charged.
Chris Borniger, managing editor, said the decision comes down to a privacy issue. You don't want to give a person negative publicity for a crime there's not enough evidence to charge him or her with vet.
You may be wondering why we named the student who allegedly fondled a woman sleeping on a couch at Hashinger Hall. Because he was arrested, the Kansan named the student.
Sometimes it may seem like our decisions have no rhyme or reason, but they do.
For instance, there's a reason why we don't cover Fred Phelps' anti-homosexual protests on campus. The fact is, his tactics never change, so nothing he does is newsworthy anymore, said editor Nathan Willis. If we sent reporters and photographers every time he came to campus, we'd just be giving him a platform for the same old rhetoric he's been sweeping for years.
But deciding whether to release the names of uncharged, alleged sexual batterers or giving Fred Phelps more media coverage, the decision seems clear.
Deciding what to cover and how aren't easy decisions. Although we have policies that guide our decisions, each case is somewhat different.

Opinion
Letters to the editor Racism has no place in Free for All comments
or comments, contact Ben Embry or Emily Hughey at 864-4924 or e-mail opinion@kansan.com
I was horrified to read the bigoted comment printed in Free for All on Monday, Sept. 18. The caller said that the University should stop hiring minority faculty and teach their current ones English. The caller demonstrated his or her own ignorance by confusing ethnic minorities with non-native English speakers. I thought everyone was aware that many ethnic minorities at the University are American citizens who speak English as a first language. Perhaps the caller is unaware that it is illegal to refuse to hire someone based on race.
Graduate teaching assistants have to pass the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) before they can teach. It sounds like the caller simply does not want to make the effort to learn from someone who, heaven forbid,
Laurie O'Brien Lawrence graduate student
does not speak with a Kansas drawl. By publishing callers' comments without printing their names, the UDK is giving bigots a curtain behind which to hide. For this reason, most respectable publications refuse to publish anonymous comments and letters.
The Free for All column on Sept. 18, 2000, carried a statement which was slanderous and racist
Such racist comments have no place in a university daily which is read by people of all races, creeds and nationalities. It also does a disservice to the international student community and to the distinguished professors of KU who are "minority faculty members."
I would appreciate that such comments do not appear again in the University daily.

Greek stereotypes do not reflect reality
The expression, "buying your friends," has turned up in the Kansan's Free for All and is often used by many nongreek students as an opinion concerning sororities and fraternities. Whether this saying is backed by jealousy, low self-esteem or ignorance, it is one of the worst stereotypes I've heard yet regarding KU's Greek community.
I joined a sorority because I could not think of a better way to find over 150 girls who share my interests and are going through the same things I am.
For all those who don't know, the money that I pay to be in a sorority is not for acceptance among my sisters. The money is for basic house needs and activities that we do together. A nongreek student pays money to live in a dorm, so why doesn't anyone think that person is buying friendships with the several hundred students that also live there?
As a part of the greek community, I will gain a lot of things that will help me make it through my four years at KU. I will gain a bond from a house full of wonderful girls, a motivation to maintain good academic standing and perhaps an advantage over many nongreek students. That advantage is the ability to walk around campus feeling like a part of KU and being greeted by hundreds of familiar faces.
Being a part of the greek community is a choice. I don't slam other people for not being a part of it, and I don't see why I should be slammed for being a part of it.

Critique overlooks mission of the U.N.
It's ironic that you chose to print John McCool's criticism of the United Nations on the same page as two different editors defending the right to parody. I say this because
McCool is either parodying the far-right's standard anti-U.N. rhetoric, or is probably holed up in a bunker somewhere with the ghosts of Ayn Rand and Joseph McCarthy waiting for the black helicopters to arrive.
He first asserts that the U.N.'s core was "commist red" despite the fact that the majority of Security Council nations are democratic.
He also sharply criticizes Stalin's regime while ignoring the fact that neither America's record of tolerating dissent nor its treatment of minorities is anything to brag about.
While McCool's arguments seem to defend U.S. sovereignty, what they really protect is America's right to do whatever it wants, whenever it want, to whomever it wants, without fear of international reprisal.
What saddens me most is that McCool seems to have forgotten that the U.N. was founded to honor the sacrifice of those who gave their lives to deny any country that right.

Local business, students disrupted by construction
Chris Bue, manager at Louise's West, expected business at the bar to be good this summer. With the Jet Lag Lounge — the only other competition in the area — closed since a fire in March, business should have been steady all summer.
By J.D. Mckee writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
By J.D. McKee
But construction at Seventh and Michigan streets, near where the bar is located, has caused business to dwindle. Bue said.
"This summer was horrible compared to last year," Bue said, "and since the Jet Lag was closed, it should have been one of our better ones."
Terese Gorman, city engineer, said that access to Louise's West had never been blocked and that patrons could always enter from Seventh Street.
However, the sight of heavy machinery and construction at the intersection have kept people away.
"This summer people would look down here and assume we were closed and drive on by." Bue said.
The project began June 19 as an effort to upgrade the road to city standards, which included pouring new asphalt, putting in new curbs and gutters and adding a sidewalk to one side of the street.
The construction has created problems beyond business. Students and others who had frequented the intersection were forced to find alternate routes.
Audrey McKanna, Olathe senior, said she found the construction mildly annoying.
McKanna said she moved into her apartment in August, so the construction hadn't affected her for long, but her roommates lived there when the project started.
"I'm ready to have them done," said McKanna, who lives at Seventh and Arkansas streets. "I'm tired of walking to the bus stop and getting whistled at."
"They're pissed," she said. "They've been dealing with it all summer."
McKanna also has to deal with residents from Michigan Street parking on Arkansas Street.
"I'm ready to be able to park my car in my own parking lot." McKanna said.
The parking problem should subside soon because crews finished paving a portion of Michigan Street this

week. However, work continues at the corner of Seventh and Michigan.
Arden Locke, who drives the late shift of that bus, said the bus drivers had to go around to Sixth Street to avoid the construction, which took extra time.
The construction project also has caused problems for KU on Wheels buses. The Second and Michigan bus has been forced to redirect its route to accommodate the construction.
"It's four minutes coming and four minutes going, so I'm eight minutes behind each trip," Locke said. "It makes it hard for us to get the kids there on time."
Locke also said that he rarely saw workers on the site. "It seems like an awful lot of time for a two-block street to be blocked off," he said.
Gorman maintained that work had been done at the site each day since the project started, and a city inspector regularly monitored the site. Occasionally, she said, the private contractor has had to delay work for utility conflicts, such as companies relocating existing utilities.
Gorman also noted that the contractor was ahead of schedule at this point and that no fines had been assessed. The project is scheduled to be completed by Thanksgiving.

Groups push to register voters
Continued from page 1A
something Bankston recommended
"Students spend four years of their lives here, and the money that gets allocated here makes a difference in our lives," she said.
Alpha Kappa Alpha, a historically African-American sorority, also will sponsor a registration drive Monday through Wednesday at Wesco Beach.
"We primarily decided to do it because of apathy, not only with students but within the Black community toward voting for anything, whether it's for president or whatever," said Eve Lane, Alpha Kappa Alpha president.
She said that they would not specifically target minorities, but that registering minority voters was a focus of their effort.
The All-Scholarship Hall Council also is persuading scholarship hall residents to register to vote.
Hayley Rumback, ASHC senator, said she was coordinating a registration and advanced voting drive in the form of a competition between halls.
"We're still settling what the prize is going to be," Rumbback said. "If all of the forms get returned, that would be a pretty big turnout and just be outstanding."

City offers several locations to register
Students who don't register to vote through a campus registration drive still have a lot of options, with several registration sites located around Lawrence.
Some sites include the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St.; any Lawrence post office; and City Hall, e.E. Sixth St. Students can also contact the Douglas County Clerk's office, and it will mail them a voter-registration card.
Jo Daquest, deptuy Douglas County clerk, said yesterday that about 47,700 active voters were registered in Douglas County. She said there was no way for the office to know how many of those were students because the registration process did not require disclosing occupation.
Students who have registered to vote in a different county or state are eligible to register in Douglas County, Dalquest said. Registering
in Douglas County would cancel a previous registration, she said.
Students who have voted in previous elections do not need to re-register, Dalquest said, unless they have moved.
"If your address changed at all, even moving to a different dorm room, state law requires re-registering." Dalquest said.

A former Beach Boy's Pet Sounds
Brian Wilson performs his classic album in Denver and the Kansan's Clay McCuistion makes the trip
By Clay McCulstlon
By Clay McCulston features@kansan.com Kansan features editor
T
My obsession.
this is the story of an obsession.
My obsession.
Like I said. obsessive.
For five years I've been devoted to the music of Brian Wilson—former singer, songwriter and producer for the Beach Boys. I own the compact discs, videos, books and T-shirts. I belong to the computer mailing list devoted to discussing his recordings. I've labored over a Web site devoted to his solo albums.
Last Saturday, Sept. 16, Brian Wilson played a concert in Denver. I was there. It cost me hundreds of dollars. I rode a bus 12 hours to get there. But I was able to see the man called a "genius" by legions of fellow musicians perform his masterpiece of an album —Pet Sounds—in concert with a symphony orchestra.
The glow of the three-hour show is still with me — as is the sleep deprivation. I don't know if I've ever been to a better concert by any other musician.
But, remember, I'm obsessed.
I'm Waiting for the Day
The story of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys is a complicated one, full of the kind of intrigue and infighting that soap operas can only dream about.
Suffice to say that Brian propelled the band to the heights of success in the mid-1960s. His songs, arrangements and falsetto vocals brought the group (made up of his brothers Carl and Dennis, cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine) hit after hit. "Surfin' U.S.A.," "Help Me Rhonda," "I Get Around" and dozens of other songs flowed from his piano.
But in 1965 Brian tired of touring, and decided to stay home making the music. The rest of the band would take his songs on the road. The next two years were golden, with Brian producing complex, orchestrated ballads and artful albums that set the music industry on its collective ear.
It all culminated with the 1966 release of Pet Sounds — 13 tracks of harmony-laden beauty still hailed by acts from Sonic Youth to Elton John as one of the best albums of the rock era.
Shortly after the album's release, however, Brian began to withdraw. The rest of the group was less-than-thrilled with his musical experimentation, and a toxic combination of mental illness and drug abuse sidelined Brian for much of the '70s.
Psychotherapy and medication began to have a positive effect on Brian in the '80s and he slowly came out of his shell, writing songs and making occasional live appearances. The Beach Boys, by now defined as a reliable but dull oldies group, tolerated his renewed presence.
Brian's ambitions were greater than the group, however, and he set off on a solo career in 1986. He released albums, gave interviews and appeared at an awards show or two.
All that was missing was an actual solo tour.
In 1999, the word came — Brian was putting together a band and hitting the road. Rave reviews and sold-out shows ensued. This year, the 58-year
old set the even more ambitious goal of performing the entire Pet Sounds album in concert, with orchestral accompaniment. After 30 years of staying away from the concert stage and releasing new material only sporadically, Brian was back in the spotlight.
All I Wanna Do
I was definitely excited.
Last semester, I learned that Brian Wilson was coming to Denver. It was the closest he would come to Kansas.
"I'm going to go," I told my friends and family.
They might have believed me, but I didn't. After all, there were obstacles — I had to get to the city, find a place to stay and actually attend the show. When I came back to the University of Kansas this fall, I decided to go for it and order the ticket. It arrived by mail a week before the show. One obstacle overcome.
Last Wednesday, I drove to the gas station on Sixth street that serves as the Lawrence bus depot and bought a round-trip ticket to Denver. A second obstacle overcome.
I posted on the Brian Wilson Internet mailing list that I was looking for someone to get me to the show once I arrived in Denver. A Casper, Wyo., resident named Cliff Meloy, with whom I traded Beach Boys music in the past, responded. A third obstacle overcome.
"I'm going to go." I told my friends and family again
I kind of believed it. But it wasn't until the bus pulled into the gas station Friday evening that the whole project looked like it might work.
After 12 hours, the bus arrived in Denver. I stumbled off the bus, gawked at the mountains bathed in early-morning sun and thought to myself: My God, this is actually going to happen.
At noon, I connected with Cliff, who was staying at a hotel about 20 minutes away from the depot. We spent the afternoon looking through record shops in the Denver area, oohing and ahing over various Beach Boys-related rarities.
At 5 p.m., we met with some other members of the Brian Wilson mailing list at a bar and grill called Spanky's. Dave Marshall and Scott Rhodes were there — both are members of the Beach Boys parody group Ton Def (famous on the Internet for their interpretation of Sesame Street's "Rubber Ducky, You're the One" to the melody of "Surfer Girl"). Everyone was anticipating the show.
We made our way to the University of Denver's Magnness Arena by 6:30 p.m., holding our breaths for the 7:30 start time. I bought a T-shirt, poster and tour program in the lobby — totaling $65.
I finally found my seat and chatted with the people around me. They were nearly as excited as I was. My obsession — my five years of listening to the music of Brian Wilson — was about to reach a climax.
I sipped on my overpriced cup of diet cola and waited.
Good Vibrations
and then the concert was over.
I had prepared myself for a less-than-stellar evening. After all, in earlier shows Brian had been known to starestonly at a TelePrompTer for most of the concert, leaving the falsetto parts to other members of his band.
And then the concert started.
But from the very start of Saturday night's performance, it was clear this would not be one of those shows. The band's first song was an excerpt from the Barenaked Ladies tune "Brian Wilson." Brian sang the verse straightforwardly, but when the band launched into the chorus, he started swaying back and forth, snapping his fingers with a grin on his face.
For the rest of the night, Brian smiled, made expressive hand motions, directed the band, and swayed along with the music. In other words, he was into it — in his own awkward and endearing way.
"You're a rowdy bunch," he told the audience after one of its many standing ovations. "Thanks folks. No, thank you ladies and gentlemen. You're not folks—you're wonderful people!"
His 10-piece backup band was superb, lighting into the infectious melodies with youthful vigor and enthusiasm. When the 55-piece orchestra backed them on the Pet Sounds songs, the 6,000-seat arena shook with sound.
Swirling around all of the instrumental music were Brian's carefully arranged harmonies, coating the songs with trademark falsetos. And at the center of it all was Brian himself, excited and pleased to finally bring his music to an appreciative crowd.
In his rendition of the 1970 tune "Add Some Music," (which he introduced as having the best lyrics ever written), Brian seemed to directly address the audience.
"Music, when you're alone, is like a companion to your lonely soul," he sang, gesturing at himself and then out to the thousands gathered in the arena. It was impossible not to be touched. These words expressed the singer better than any odd stage patter he used.
Another strange but wonderful moment was during the band's performance of the Pet Sounds tune, "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times."
On the chorus, as Brian sang over and over again,
"Sometimes I feel very sad," he covered his eyes
with his hand. Throughout the entire chorus, he
didn't look at the audience.
Highlights were many. Brian stretched himself vocally — hitting high notes and singing like it was still 1966. He even pulled out a Fender Bass to play during a couple of the encore numbers. By the time he sang the evening's final song, "Love and Mercv." I was exhausted but iovous.
"Good night. Drive safe," he said. The show was over.
He joined hands with his band and bowed.
There's more to the story, of course. Cliff and I excitedly compared notes on the show after it was done. I eventually managed to make it back to Lawrence — after another 12-hour bus ride. But all of that was unimportant.
I'd seen — and experienced — Brian Wilson in concert.
On Sunday, I noticed I had a couple of nasty bruises on my left hand. I wondered what they were from. That evening I finally realized what had caused them.
My applause.

Kansas teammates aware of Nebraska's No.1 national rank
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Just north of here is a sports heaven. A place where athletes of all kinds can find national glory. A place of dreams and national championships. A place where sports equal life.
Up north is 'Husker country, a mass of land that cultivates teams so athletically dominant that the state might resemble a condensed Soviet sports system.
Although best known for its football dominance, Nebraska has rich winning traditions in other sports, including volleyball. Nebraska has the No.1 volleyball team in the country, and, just a few weeks into the school year, its 9-0 record already shows the team's dominance.
The Kansas volleyball team, which will face Nebraska at 7 tonight in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, knows all about Nebraska's dominance. The Jayhawks have a 1-63-2 record against the 'Huskers, with their only win coming in 1977.
In fact, the Cornhuskers have won 22 of 24 Big B/Big 12 Conference championships and have advanced to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four six times, last appearing in 1998.
The 'Husker sports tradition is nothing new to some of Kansas' volleyball players. Middle blockers Anna Wheeler, freshman, and Kylie Thomas, sophomore, and junior setter Molly LaMere all hail from Big Red country.
"I went to a lot of Nebraska volleyball games in high school," Thomas said. "It's always amazing to watch them play."
Wheeler and LaMere are natives of suburban Omaha, Bellevue and Papillion, respectively, while Thomas is from Sutherland, a town in western Nebraska.
"It's a great state for high school volleyball," said coach Ray Bechard. "And they can't all go to Nebraska."
Indeed, the 'Huskers' roster already contains eight in-state players.
WWW.KANSAN.COM/SPORTS
"They have a great reputation and great in-state recruiting." Thomas said. "They really have it all."
None of the Nebraskan Jayhawks
"I was recruited for basketball, but this is the best choice for me," Thomas said. "I couldn't see myself going there."
were recruited by the 'Huskers for volleyball; Thomas was recruited for another sport.
And neither could the other women, they said.
"It would be like high school, only 45 minutes away," LaMere said. "That's not college."
At a lean 5-feet-7, LaMere said she couldn't see herself on the team. Nebraska coach John Cook wants women who have the muscular ability to play Division I directly out of high school, she said.
"I've played club ball with a lot of the
girls on the team," LaMere said. "He likes big, meaty, tall girls. They're not fat, just big."
The Cornhuskers have only two players shorter than 6-foot on their 14-person roster. Their tallest player, Amber Holmquist, an All-America candidate middle blocker, stands 6-feet-4.
According to Bechard, these players' hitting skills are proportional to their height.
"Nebraska's been making a lot of people suffer, the way they've been hitting the ball," Bechard said. "Maybe we should talk to coach Allen to be issued some helmets."
But the Jayhawks aren't trembling with fear for tonight's match. They, in fact, see it as an opportunity.
"We're still trying to earn respect. So just winning a game against them will mean so much," LaMere said. "To them it'll just be an easy match."
Even non-Nebraskan Jayhawks are looking at the positives.
"I think if we just come and play our hearts out, things will happen," said Sarah Rome, freshman outside hitter. "I think if we believe in ourselves we can do it."
Along with the throngs of Big Red supporters, the 'Hawks might find a few Nebraskans in their cheering section.
"Are you kidding?" La Mere said. "My parents wouldn't miss a game like this."

Knee surgery to sideline soccer team record holder
By Yoshikaka Ebisawa

Kansas sportswriter
A knee injury will force the single-season scoring record holder of the Kansas women's soccer program off the field for the rest of the season.
Hilla Rantala, senior forward from Vantaa, Finland, decided to cut the season short because of her injured
knee and to have surgery with the hoping of playing next spring.
Rentala, who had knee surgery five years ago, said her knee started bothering her again during the summer and got worse just before the season b e g a n . Nevertheless, she played the first two games this season with the pain.

play next spring.
I LOVE YOU.
"I sat off for two weeks, but I wasn't getting any better," Rantala said. "So I decided to go for surgery."
But she decided that further punishment to the knee wouldn't be a good idea.
"I'm going to be a medical redshirt this year." Rantala said. "So I still have one more year."
But this won't be the end of her soccer career — not even as a Jayhawk.
Ranta's said the knee would be scoped sometime this week and she would have surgery before Christmas.

"Hilla is a special player, and it's hard to replace her," he said. "We're going to have to learn to play without her this year."

Transfers help defensive line fill in gaps left by graduates

Kansan sportswriter
Ervin Holloman and De'Nard Whitfield are starting to show opponents and fans what they already knew about themselves and the rest of the Kansas' defensive line.
They're good. On Saturday, they were too good.
It is possible to be too quick up front.
If the defensive line, arguably the most impressive Jayhawk corp, had one flaw, it was its inability to stop the draw play. UAB ran the delayed handoff numerous times and gained 252 total rushing yards. Oddly, the Blazers only had 66 yards gained on the ground in the first half before they put on a strong display and forced the game's outcome to rest on a final UAB drive.
"We were getting in there so fast." Holloman said about Kansas' 23-20 win against Alabama-Birmingham. Saturday, "It kind of hurt us at times."
"We knew what we had to do," Whitfield said. "We knew we had to shut them out. We weren't tired. We had no excuses."
The line may sometimes rush too quickly, but coach Terry Allen will forgive them for it. After all the changes in the unit created by graduation, he's just happy to have more than enough bodies to fill the four positions.
"I knew I was going to have a good chance to come here and start," Whitfield said. "Coach showed me the depth chart and showed me almost everyone on it was leaving. From there, it was a pretty easy decision."
That is why Whitfield came to Kansas.
Allen does not like to give out too much praise — especially before the team has faced Big 12 talent.

But Allen likes the numbers that he has up front. Whitfield, from Fort Scott Community College, weighs 240 pounds. Holloman and John Culp, both from Garden City Community College, bring 285 and 270 pounds, respectively. Nate Dwyer, the lone returnee from last year's defensive line, is 300 pounds.
Sports Columnist
"We're able to rotate a lot to make sure we have fresh bodies." Allen said. "We're playing quite a few people up there because you constantly need speed pressure."
This success has been reflected in the team's statistics, and not as much in Holloman's and Whitfield's.
Whitfield and Holloman have certainly been helping out their teammates with statistics. After two games, Kansas has 11 sacks, well on pace to beat last year's 29. This success has been reflected in the team's statistics as seen in Holloman and Whitfield.
Their impact has been felt because of their ability to allow teammates to roam the field in search of plays. When they are rushing at their best, the pair forces the opposing offense to make quick — and sometimes hasty — decisions.
There was some initial apprehension about how the newcomers would adapt to Kansas' system and Division I football, but Dwyer offers the most solid argument for their impact.
"just check the stats," Dwyer said. "They're good."

Soccer team without home doesn't help attendance
Turns out that SuperTarget Field isn't so super.
The only team seeing any action on the field is a turf maintenance crew. What is supposed to be the home of the Kansas soccer team has become the home of two dump trucks, a Bobcat and a flatbed with a giant drill-like device on it.
So if anyone wants to see my favorite heart breakers in shin guards, they have to load up the car and drive 35 miles to Overland Park and find the field at the corner of Switzer and 135th streets.
There are three huge spots on the field that have been torn up since the bluegrass bit the bullet. With the large scars on the field, the women's soccer team has been forced to play its home games at Blue Valley Northwest High School. The way it looks now, they're hoping to have SuperTarget back to playable by the final two games of the season.
Of course, not many people ever make it out to see the women's soccer team in the first place. Residents of Oliver Hall, who live roughly a football field's length from SuperTarget, choose grilled catfish night in the cafeteria above women's soccer. So moving the team almost an hour out of town doesn't sound like they're doing much to improve the attendance of the student crowd.
Money, I think. Let's play these games at Memorial. Then they can get me in a scholarship box by simply using my KUID. Soccer and Schlitz for Jonesey. Another brilliant idea.
Richard Konzem, associate athletic director, and Darren Cook, director of facilities, took time to talk to me on the scorched piece of land that was SuperTarget Field. Surely, I thought, we could get a better location than Blue Valley for my girls to play.
What about Clinton Sports Complex, I asked them. Nope. Surface is too slow for Division I soccer.
No way. The football field isn't flat, it's crowned, with the highest point right in the middle of the field, and the slopes heading for the sidelines. Plus, it's too narrow, you have all those yard markers, yadda-yadda-dadda. You can't play soccer like that.
So I guess the team is stuck at a high school with a better field than ours, while the football team plays on a surface that has the Kansas City Chiefs impressed.
So what exactly did happen to SuperTarget Field? Well, think back a couple weeks when Lawrence traded weather patterns with the seventh level of Hell. Pretty much every blade of grass in the area died except for the chancellor's front yard. The bluegrass lost its battle with the heat, and to add insult to injury, a sprinkler head broke, flooding and frying a part of the field.
Are there any rules about playing on artificial turf? Cook told me that the only artificial surface acceptable is the same stuff we have at Memorial Stadium, known as AstroPlay.
It wasn't through anyone's fault, really. The Athletics Department did what it could with the $200,000 budget for the field. It just wasn't enough to survive the intense summer we had.
The plan now is to have Bermuda grass on the field by next season. It doesn't stay green as long, but it won't totally die, either.
Sorry, women's soccer team. The only way your team gets much ink these days is because of a pending sexual assault case. And now, we're even making you hit the road for your home games. When it rains, it pours.

Williams takes shot at first of two medals
SYDNEY, Australia — Venus Williams had her Olympic debut yesterday, beating Henrieta Nagyova of Slovakia, 6-2, 6-2. It was Williams' 27th consecutive victory.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Williams' latest victory was her first since winning the U.S. Open earlier this month. Coming off that emotional triumph and the long trip to Sydney, she showed no signs of a letdown against Nagyova.
From the first game, when she belted two aces, Williams was overpowering. Whether rushing the net, leaping for an overhead or on her heels at the baseline, she came up with one putaway after another.

Perhaps her best effort was a lunging forehand winner down the line that gave her a 4.1 lead
in the first set. She then walked casually to her chair, as if she hits such shots every day.
Which she does.

Her sister watched from the stands. They'll play doubles together, giving Venus a shot at two gold medals to go with her two Grand Slam titles.
Don't bet against her. The only player seeded ahead of her in singles is American teammate Lindsay Davenport, who lost to Williams in the finals at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
Romania broke through years of frustration to win the gold medal yesterday, 0.205 points ahead of favored Russia, which took silver for the second straight time. China won the bronze, denying the United States a

So almost to spite Karolyi, the 18-year-old spitfire put on one of the most electric performances of the night.

SYDNEY, Australia — Alexander Bagach of the Ukraine, the 1999 world indoor shot put champion and 1996 Olympic bronze medalist, has been suspended from competition for testing positive for steroids for a third time.
Simon Kemboi, a member of the Kenyan 1,600-meter relay team, also was suspended for testing positive for steroids.
Neither will be allowed to compete in the Sydney Games.
The ruling council of the International Amateur Athletic Federation announced the suspensions yesterday after an eight-hour meeting.

The IAAF action came after Bagach was cleared by the Ukraine federation. Bagach also tested positive for the stimulant ephedrine at the 1997 world championships after appearing to win the competition with a throw of 70 feet, 4.25 inches. Bagach was disqualified from the competition but was not suspended. The gold medal went to John Godina of the United States.

In the first two rounds of the playoffs, up to three games are played in each series, with the first team to five points advancing (teams get three points for a victory, one for a tie).
After going back to the traditional for the regular season, Major League Soccer is employing perhaps the most unusual playoff format in U.S. sports.

That means a team that gets a win and a tie in its first two games must still play a third game. If a series is tied 1-1-1 after three games, it would be decided by penalty kicks.

DENVER — Brian Griese's injured shoulder could keep him out of practice today and force him to miss the Denver Broncos' next game.

"There's no exact timetable of when (team trainer Steve Antonopoulos) will make a decision," said team representative Paul Kirk.
Griese was driven to the ground by an Oakland defender early in the second quarter of the Broncos' 33-24 victory Sunday.
The shoulder injury was similar to a more severe injury to his throwing shoulder last season. He was sidelined for two games in November and underwent successful surgery at the end of the season.
Antonopulos said the latest injury was unrelated to last season's injury and the surgery to repair it.
He said there was a 50 percent chance Griese, the NFL's top-rated passer, would play Sunday.

Recruit chooses Michigan State
Jayhawks still hope for commitment from Oregon guard
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Alan Anderson insisted he had a good visit to Lawrence last weekend.
Apparently, it wasn't good enough.
Anderson, a 6-foot-5 forward from Minneapolis, gave an oral commitment to
play for the Michigan State Spartans late Monday evening. He announced his decision the day after he returned home from his Lawrence visit.
"I had a great trip to Kansas," Anderson told Mike Sullivan of Insider's Report. "But I felt like I fit in more with Michigan State. Hopefully, we can win another national championship there."
Anderson's decision was not the only bad news for Kansas,
O is
because it lost a second recruit on Monday as well.
Cedric Bozemen, a 6-foot-5 point guard from Santa Ana, Calif., committed to UCLA. The decision didn't come as much of a surprise, though Bozeman had already committed to UCLA once before and then had withdrawn his commitment. Bozeman had also considered Kansas and Florida.
The Jayhawks' recruiters are looking to the Northwest, where highly touted 6-foot point guard Aaron
Miles of Portland.
Dre., is expected to choose his school soon. It appears that Miles may not choose K a n s a s either.
"Right now,
it's 45 percent
Arizona, 30 percent
Kansas and 25 percent UCLA," Miles told Doug Carr of CatTracks.net yesterday. "But if you talk to me tomorrow, it might be totally different."
Miles has only arranged one visit ; he's headed to Arizona on Oct. 13. However, Miles is

"I think he still likes Kansas and Arizona and UCLA, too," said Miles"father, Mark Miles."We've had visits with [Arizona coach] Lute Olson and Roy Williams. They're both very nice and are good basketball programs."
Miles would like to commit before the season.
Kansas lost two other potential recruits when St. Louis' David Lee chose Florida and Seattle's Erroll Knight chose Washington.

Atkinson defensive player of the week
By Allan Davis
By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Algie Atkinson, Kansas junior outside linebacker, not only made an impression on the Alabama-Birmingham Blazers in Saturday night's 23-20 victory, he impressed the Big 12 Conference media panel that selects the Big 12 players of the week.
Atkinson, a junior, was named the Big 12 Defensive Football Player of the Week for games played on Sept. 16. Against the Blazers, Atkinson made a total of 10 tackles, eight unassisted, had two sacks for a loss of 17 yards and forced the UAB quarterback to fumble on the final play of the game as the Blazers tried desperately to get into position
for a game-tying field goal.
Kansas coach Terry Allen said Atkinson's performance merited the attention.
"Obviously, it was a nice honor for Algie." Allen said. "He must have been deserving or he wouldn't have gotten it. And he played a good football game. We proud to have him receive that award."
Atkinson, 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds,
was born in Jamaica but came to
the Jayhawks from Evanston
Township High School in Illinois.
He played defensive end in high
school.
Atkinson is a second-year starter at linebacker for the Jayhawks. Last season, he received credit for 6 sacks for a loss of 31 yards, seven tackles for losses, made six unassisted tackles and assisted on 31
Atkinson said he was pleased to receive the award, but he learned about it indirectly.
more.
"I saw it on the news last night, and a couple of people told me this morning in the training room," he said.
Despite his size. Atkinson is still fast, as demonstrated by his time in the 40-yard dash during practice.
"I clocked a 4.55 during the training this season — this semester," he said. A 40-yard-dash time of 4.55 is good for anyone and especially good for a linebacker.
Atkinson is an African Studies major and said he was interested in finding something he could do well in the future. The National Football League may eventually be an option for him, but he's not counting on
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
that. Atkinson said he might like to become a teacher.
Notes:
Sophomore left guard Kyle Grady, who started the first game of the season, probably will miss the next game while recovering from a dislocated kneecap.
Kansas' next opponent, Southern Illinois, is 12 and upset perennial Gateway Conference power Northern Iowa 34-14 on Saturday. Allen coached at Northern Iowa before coming to Kansas. Former Jayhawk assistant Jan Quarless coaches the Salukis.

Tennis coach leaving Kansas for Pennsylvania
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Zac Hunter
Just when the University of Kansas Athletics Department thought all coaching changes and speculation were finished for the year, it was hit with a departure Monday.
Men's tennis coach Mark Riley resigned his position to become head coach at Pennsylvania.
Riley made the announcement after weeks of deliberation. He had told his team that he was considering the new position.
He informed his team of his final decision Sunday and said he was set to assume his duties as the Quakers head coach.
"It's been a tough few days," he said. "It's never a great time to be a coach when you have to leave, because you're leaving something you've built and
leaving people you care about."
Riley's decision to leave mostly was based on the opportunity Penn offered him to be close to his family. Riley also was an assistant at Penn for the 1992-93 seasons.
But despite his ties to Pennsylvania, Riley said his choice was not an easy one.
While at Kansas, Riley tallied a 53-44 record in his four seasons and helped three Jayhawks attain All-America status.
Riley: Resigned post at Kansas for job at Pennsylvania
However, Riley said he was most proud of how his players did in the classroom. Last year, his
players earned a 3.4 grade point average, which set a record for athletic teams at Kansas.
Filling the vacancy at head coach this season is assistant coach Ross Nwachukwu. Nwachukwu is being promoted after just one season as a Kansas assistant, but said he was confident that the upcoming season would be a positive one.
"I am excited to be able to carry on the Jayhawk tradition that Mark has continued for the last four years," he said. "I look forward to having a very successful year with a group of great student athletes."
Nwachukwu played his collegiate tennis at Drake between 1991-94, and was an assistant there in '95. Before taking the assistant's job at Kansas last year, Nwachukwu was a teaching professional at Village Glen Tennis Club in Buffalo, New York.

Olympics Johnson aims to break 400-meter world record
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — Michael Johnson plans to end his magnificent Olympic career with a pair of medals to match his new running shoes gold.
Still, there are a couple of milestones on his agenda. He wants to be the first man to repeat as Olympic 400-meter champion, and most of all he wants to break that 43-second mark.
And maybe break the 43-second barrier in the 400 meters while he at it.
"This time around I'm not coming in as the focus of the games trying to make history and do something that's never been done before," Johnson said.
To read about the women's U.S.

rier in the 400 meters while he sat at. Far more relaxed than he was in his successful quest for an unprecedented double gold in the 200 and 400 four years ago in Atlanta, Johnson is relieved that only the 400 and 1,600-meter relay are on his agenda this time.
More information
"I'm very proud of it, but I just feel that I can do much better than that," he said. "I would like to have my 400-meter world record in my mind equal to what my 200-meter record means. It would be something so far out there it's hard to understand."
That 19.32-second performance in winning the 200 gold in Atlanta stunned a packed stadium and the track and field world. It also made him the first to win the 200 and 400 at the Olympics.
Johnson intended to try to double again this year, but pulled up with a hamstring injury in his much-hyped showdown with Maurice Greene in
See page 8A
Johnson said he believes he can break the record if the weather cooperated. He doesn't want 43.18 to be his 400-meter legacy.
the 200 finals at the U.S. trials, Greene also pulled up lame, and neither will be in the 200 in Sydney.
Johnson brushed aside suggestions that he is such an overwhelming favorite that everyone else will be running for silver.
Now, it's obvious he didn't really want the pressure of another Olympic 200-400 double.
"I would never say that an injury is a blessing in disguise," he said, "but I do believe everything happens for a reason."
"I heard Alvin Harrison say the other day that he's running for a gold medal and he came down here and ran 44.18." Johnson said about Harrison's Sept. 8 performance in Brisbane. "Nobody's going to train that hard to come down here and give me anything. I've got to go out there and earn it."
The injury has healed, and Johnson said he's run better in recent training than he did in the days leading up to his world-record run a year ago.

An aspiring young filmmaker named Amy (Jennifer Morrison) is making a movie about a college campus serial killer who attacks students by acting out urban legends. (Gee, wasn't that movie already made?)
A campus building is named for Orson Welles, and posters for Touch of Eulil and The Rocky Horror Picture Show adorn the walls, just to make sure you're aware that you've walked into a horror flick.
It takes place at an unnamed film school ("The greatest film school that ever existed," the dean proclaims) that looks more like a biomedical research center, where it's always cloudy, foggy and cold.
Urban Legends: final Cut makes the original Urban Legends look like an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
We can only hope that this truly is the final cut.
Urban Legends: Final Cut, a Columbia Pictures release, is rated R for violence, language and some sexuality. Running time: 1 hour, 38 minutes.
This formulaic, unfocused film is supposed to be a sequel, but it doesn't pick up where the first film ended. And for those of you itching to know, it never explains what happened to our heroes who survived the original college campus killing spree.
Urban Legends should disappear into the night
This time, though, the killer wears a fencing mask, presumably because a hockey mask was already taken for the Friday the 13th series.
The Associated Press
But all the actors and crew members end up being killed the same way as the characters in Amy's film. (Gee, wasn't that movie already made, too? Three times?)
Come to think of it, the movie isn't even about urban legends. It's more a rip-off of the Scream series, which is hackneved itself.
It has none of the up-and-coming young stars of the first film such as Jared Leto, Alicia Witt, Joshua Jackson or Tara Reid. The big-name talent here is Joey Lawrence, formerly of the TV shows "Blossom" and "Brotherly Love," who now goes by Joseph Lawrence. Perhaps he saw that using a more grown-up name did wonders for Rick Schroder's career and hopes to do the same.

Paper finds FBI files on Chamberlain
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — The FBI investigated Wilt Chamberlain in the late 1960s because of rumors that the former Kansas and NBA basketball great was fixing games, the Philadelphia Daily News reported Tuesday.
Investigators never found any evidence that the late Hall of Fame center threw a game, and his friends and family members say he didn't.
"He was just way too honest to do that," said Barbara Lewis, Chamberlain's vounter sister.
Chambleair's younger sister. The FBI also looked into claims from informants who said the 13-time NBA All-Star bet on basketball — always on his own team to win — according to Chamberlain's BFi file.
Chamberlain loved to gamble, but he "never bet on basketball to my knowledge," said Vincent Miller, 62, who knew
Chamberlain since the third grade and shared an apartment with him in the late 1960s.
The FBI file was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. APBnews.com also got a copy of the file earlier this year and
Chamberlain: Late Kansas, NBA star investigated by FBI
ALEXANDER W. BROWN
reported about it on the Web site. The file contains about two docu-
 documents.
Heavily edited sections of the file indicate that other basketball players were suspected of betting.
ments covering the years from 1966-69 containing mostly rumor, innuendo and second-hand allegations.
The FBI investigation certifies Chamberlain was Mister Clean, said Seymour Goldberg, 69, Chamberlain's longtime attorney and the executor of his estate.
"This is magnificent," Goldberg said. "Who else can you describe in the NBA who's been investigated," especially at a time, he said, when blacks were special targets. J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director at the time, has long been accused of trying to quell black activism during the civil rights era.
It was not clear if the FBI ever
shared its findings with the NBA. A player betting on basketball would face suspension or expulsion under rules in place since at least the early 50s, said NBA senior vice president Brian McIntyre.
The NBA was unaware of the FBI investigation or of any alleged wrong doing on Chamberlain's part, McIntyre said.
Chamberlain died in October 1999 at age 63. He starred at Kansas from 1957-58 and later played in the NBA from 1969-73 for the Philadelphia (later San Francisco) Warriors, 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers. Chamberlain still holds four Jayhawk records and his jersey was retired in 1988. He scored 31,419 points during his professional career, a league record until Kareem Abdul-Jabbar broke it in 1984.
J.S. pitchers exceed expectations in Sydney win
SYDNEY, Australia — Three games played, three earned runs allowed, three wins and counting. The U.S. baseball team is on to something.
A team that wondered about its inexperienced starters has moved to the front of the Olympic baseball field because those young pitchers are doing much better than anyone imagined.
The numbers say it all: only three earned runs allowed in three games, all victories. Kurt Ainsworth got the latest, pitching 6-2-3 innings of a 6-2 win yesterday against the Netherlands.
Ainsworth followed the lead of Ben Sheets and Jon Rauch, two other
Voted #1 by Students 622 W. $ _{12}^{th} $ St. * 749-3018
high draft picks who made impressive starts in the first two games and got things rolling.
The Associated Press
"We talk to each other every day and pump each other up, saying, 'You've got to have a good performance today to give the team a chance to win,'" Ainsworth said.
The Netherlands (1-2) scored a run in the first inning, then got shut down as Answorth threw his 93 mph fastball pretty much where he wanted.
That made it three impressive starts by the class of '99 - Sheets was picked in the first round by Milwaukee, Rauch in the third by the White Sox. Ainsworth in the first round by San Francisco.
"We've got a staff you could throw on a big league team and not be embarrassed," said catcher Pat Borders, the MVP of Toronto's 1992 World Series championship. "They could be all right."
Their confidence is starting to rub off on an offense that's doing just enough to win.
The Americans have been lightweight at the plate so far, batting 267 as a team — weak by Olympic standards. They haven't needed a lot of runs because their pitching has been so good.
"G bless 'em if they keep doing it," outfielder Mike Neill said. "I'm sure we'll ride their backs all the way to a medal."
Aside from 31-year-old outfielder
Ernie Young, the Americans didn't do much offensively yesterday against a junkball pitcher. Rob Cordemans mixed his 88 mph fastball with a change up that dipped to 66 mph and left the Americans spinning in circles and losing their bats after awkward swings.
"That guy threw slow and slower," said Young, who doubled home a pair of runs and had a solo homer. "He kept it a close game. You've got to give him credit somewhat."
Young's two-run double put the U.S. ahead in the first and his solo hero to right made it 3-1 in the third. Doug Mienkiewicz doubled off the warning track in center to drive in another run in the sixth and later added a sacrifice fly. Brad Wilkerson also hit a solo home run.

Japan ends U.S. softball's 112-game winning streak
The Associated Press
BLACKTOWN, Australia — Oh,
Doctor!
Dot Richardson committed two errors in the top of the 11th inning as Japan beat the United States softball team 2-1 Monday night to snap the defending Olympic champions' 112-game winning streak.
"I apologized to everyone because I feel responsible," said Richardson, an orthopedic surgeon when not playing second base for the U.S. team. "The two mistakes I made cost us the game."
The loss doesn't diminish the team's gold medal hopes. The top four in the eight-team tournament advance to the medal round, and the United States is still favored.
The United States (2-1) loaded the bases in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings. In the 10th and 11th, when each team starts with a runner on second, the Americans had two runners on each time.
But they couldn't manage the hit they needed off reliever Juri Takayama — stranding 20 runners in all to suffer their first loss since the 1986 world championships, and their first loss ever to third-ranked Japan.
In the 11th, Japan (3-0) moved its free baserunner to third on a groundout. Haruka Salito hit a grounder to Richardson; she bob
bled the ball, then recovered before throwing it wild to first base and allowing the game's first run to score.
Richardson's second error followed when she tried to cut off a throw to second to guard against a double steal. The ball rolled into center field and another runner came home to make it 2-0.
"What we did today was something I never expected," U.S. coach Ralph Raymond said. "You can't make mental mistakes, and we made a carload of them today."
Even so, the Americans had another chance in the bottom of the 11th when Crystl Bustos and Sheila Douty singled to score the free baserunner and make it 2-1. Douty was caught going to second, then Takayama struck out Jennifer Brundage and Stacey Noveman looking to end it.
Smith pitched 5 2-3 innings of relief, striking out eight and walking none while allowing just two hits and two unearned runs. Raymond said he would decide overnight whether she would pitch against China on Wednesday as scheduled.
And pitching was the story during the game, as well, as both teams were scoreless through 10 innings.
Christa Williams, who has a 74 mph fastball that makes her the
"I feel great." she said.
fastest pitcher on the U.S. staff, gave up a single to the first batter of the game and then retired the next 13.
She struck out 10 in all, allowing five hits — three of them to start the sixth. But the Japanese ran themselves out of a rally when Laura Berg threw out Haruka Saito with a perfect throw to the plate for the first out.
Smith relieved Williams and, on her second pitch, Nuveman threw out Naomi Matsumoto trying to steal second. Noriko Yamaji struck out on the next pitch to end the inning.
The Americans threatened in the seventh, when leadoff batter Christie Ambrosi, an Overland Park resident, was hit by a pitch. With Richardson at bat, Ambrosi got caught in a rundown, but she escaped and slid safely into first when the second baseman held the ball too long.
Richardson bunted her to second, then Bung singled her to third. Lisa Fernandez grounded out, bringing up Bustos with first base open; she walked to load the bases, but not before hitting one deep, but foul, down the left-field line.
Douty looked at a 3-1 pitch that appeared to be high but was called a strike. With the full count, she hit a grounder that the shortstop bobbled before scooping it to third to end the inning.

Speaker discusses diversity issues among Hispanics
By Leita Schultes
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students and faculty learned how to understand Hispanic-American diversity during a lecture yesterday at the Multicultural Resource Center.
Robert Rodriguez, academic services coordinator for the McNair Scholars Program, presented "Understanding Latino Diversity" as part of the Multicultural Resource Center's Brown Bag Discussion Series.
Rodriguez defined the term Latino, as well as other labels such as Chicano, Latin American and Mexican American.
"Ycu may use Latino or Hispanic as sort of an umbrella-type term," he said, but added that different terms were not necessarily interchangeable.
Hispanic is the term used by the U.S. Census Bureau, Rodriguez said, and 32.4 million Hispanics make up 11.8 percent of the U.S. population. By 2050, Hispanics will make up 25 percent of all Americans.
He said some people found the term Hispanic objectionable because of the word's Spanish ties. Others shy away from the term Chicano because it is highly politicized. The only way to find out which term a Hispanic prefers is to ask, Rodriguez said.
As he discussed each term, Rodriguez used photographs of celebrities from different Latin-American countries. He said baseball player Sammy Sosa was the new personification for the Dominican Republic, while singer Christina Aguilera's father is from Ecuador. Ricky Ricardo from "I Love Lucy" and singer Gloria Estefan, both from Cuba, were two of the first Hispanics to succeed in the United States' entertainment industry, Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez also addressed stereotypes associated with Hispanic people, such as their interest in soccer or love for Mexican food.
The stereotype is that all Hispanics are Spanish-speaking Roman Catholics. Rodriguez said.
After the lecture, Lyle Dohl, Sylvan Grove senior, said that such stereotypes can be unfair and that efforts should be made at respecting diversity. The most important issue is understanding that Hispanic is an broad term, Dohl said.
The next lecture of the series, "Being a minority on a majority campus: Stresses and management," will be at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 4, in the Multicultural Resource Center.

Activists use chicken coops to make point
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
If you think your residence hall room is small, try living like a chicken in a factory farm, an animal rights group told students at Wescoe Beach yesterday.
The group, People for Animal Rights, had an information table, posters and a human-sized cage approximating the amount of space a chicken has in a factory farm.
Mark von Schlemmer, Lawrence resident and PAR member, crouched in the cage for short intervals, drawing attention from many passing students.
"It feels very cramped after about 10 minutes," von Schlemmer said. "It doesn't feel good."
But the cage didn't make an impression on every onlooker.
Brian Otto, Topeka sophomore,
said he was a meat-eater and the
information and cage demo
wouldn't change his mind.
"If they want to be uncomfortable to prove their point, it's up to them," Otto said. "It's not doing much for me."
Emily Libla, coordinator of education programs for PAR, said that in factory farms, four to six chickens are typically confined to a floor area smaller than two sheets of typing paper.
She said factory farms did not allow animals to live in a natural manner, that they polluted the environment and were driving family farms out of business.
"people still have this idea that animals are rolling around in some pasture somewhere and then end up on their plates, but that's not
the case," Libla said. "Animal agriculture has become an industry with intensive confinement situations. The concentration of excrement and run-off waste from factory farming is one of the largest water pollutants in the U.S."
Mahalley Allen, Kansas City,
Kan, graduate student and member
of PAR, passed out filers and talked
to students at the event yesterday.
"I think that a lot of students in particular don't understand the conditions that farm animals live in." Allen said. "So it's important to educate them."
Erin Jones, Colby senior, said she thought it was important for people to take time to learn about factory farming and where their food was coming from. Jones has been a vegetarian for five years and recently became vegan, which means she doesn't eat any animal products.
"I eat a lot better now than I ever have in my life," she said. "You have to be a lot more conscious of what you're putting into your body."
Libla said she was encouraging students to become vegetarian, to eat organic or free-range animal products and to support local organic farmers.
Libla said it wasn't just an animal rights activists who had problems with factory farms.
"Students' decisions are important," she said. "The number one thing we're asking students to do is not support factory farming."
"More and more traditional farmers are speaking out against factory farms." Libla said. "It's not just animal rights people that are speaking out."

Concert remembers bus driver
By Meghan Bainum
writer@kansan.com
Kansas writer
Rock music filled the Granada last night just as it used to fill former KU bus driver Ron "Rockin' Ron" Gleason's bus.
In fact, Rauna Gleason, Rockin' Ron's wife, said she thought Ron's spirit was at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St.
"Ron's here, and he's loving it," Gleason said. The Rockin' Ron Benefit Concert celebrated Rockin' Ron's life and raised money for his 10-year-old son Raymond's college fund.
Rockin' Ron drove a KU on Wheels bus for 12 years. He usually drove the Naismith-Oliver and Stewart Avenue routes. He died in February 1999.
The benefit was organized by Damian Siwek, Wichita senior and Raymond Gleason's mentor in the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program of Lawrence. Siwek said education was important to him and that he wanted to pass on some of the support his parents gave to him when he started college.

TRUST FUND
Rauna Gleason said she was shocked when Siwek told her about the benefit.

"He came to me and said he had done this, and there were instant tears in my eyes," she said. "I couldn't believe anyone would do something so wonderful."
All proceeds will go toward Rockin Ron's son Raymond Gleason's college fund.
Rauna Gleason said that Raymond, a spirited fourth-grader, had already named the University of Kansas as his school of choice. It's a logical choice, she said, because Raymond grew up around KU students riding his father's bus.

Raymond said that math, science and recess were his favorite subjects and that after his career at KU, he wanted to be a 007 agent — just like James Bond.
Raymond's dream got a boost with help from the four bands that played at the benefit, fens of

the bands and those who came out to honor Rockin' Ron. The bands were Proudentall, Thulium, The Suggadaddies and Preferred Villain.

"Raymond needs to go to college," his mother said. "I was wondering how that was going to happen. Tonight will make a difference in that." He would be back at Bedford, he said.
Eric Darnell, who drove for the Lawrence Bus Company for three years, said the louder and heavier the music was, the more Ron liked it. In fact, music was one of his trademarks.
"He bent over backwards for his passengers — and they could always hear him coming," Darnell said.
Everybody who knew Rockin' Ron said he would have approved of the music.
Mina Hashmi, Emporia junior, remembered the little things Rockin' Ron did to help students out.
"If you were running behind, he wouldn't just go," she said. "He would wait so that you could catch the bus."

Sergeant Rose Rozmiarek of the KU Public Safety Office uses a speed-detecting device called the Laser Technology Ultra Light to set her sights on a car traveling toward the Jayhawker Towers on 15th Street Tuesday. Rozmiarek compared the shooting accuracy of the Laser Technology Ultra Light to that of a rifle, unlike the old radar device, which had an accuracy more similar to a shotgun.

New lasers more accurate, precise in targeting speeders

Sgt. Rose Rozmiarek of the KU Public Safety Office pulls into the circle drive at Jayhawker Towers on 15th Street at 3:50 p.m., one of the busiest traffic times on campus.
She pulls a big black case from the backseat of her squad car and removes a small handheld wireless device. She points it out the window and aims steadily.
Her aim is at the top of the Hill, where a school zone begins. Her targets are speeders. Her secret weapon is the Laser Technology
Ultra Light.
The Laser Technology Ultra Light is a new device that KU Public Safety Officers are using to detect speed on campus. The public safety office bought two of them plus statistical software with grant money.
"Most aren't gonna be ready for it." Rozmiarek said. "They're not gonna know what unit actually targeted them."
Rozmiarek said she likened the lasers because they were accurate. She shot three cars in a row whose drivers were wise enough to be traveling 20 miles per hour. She even clocked a pedestrian doing two miles per hour. "I can guarantee a target vehicle," Rozmiarek said. "The laser is directed at one target only."
Ozmiraek explained that the radar device has a huge bandwidth, or range, that can pick up multiple targets. However, the lasers mark only one vehicle at a time, so there is no confusion as to who was speeding.
The unit is powered by regular or mobile batteries, enabling it to be transported away from the car. Before the lasers, the department was limited on radar because the radar could not operate away from the car. Rozmiarek said the lasers provided more versatility and mobility.

Students, faculty urged to save power tonight
To accommodate repairs to one of the University's electrical feeds, Facilities Operations will shut down superfluous electrical enterprises at 10 tonight in most buildings on the main campus west of, and including, Burt Hall, Green Hall, Burge Union and the new Child Care Facility.
Mike Miller, assistant director for project management at Facilities Operations, said the repairs were necessary because squirrels damaged the Main Campus' electrical feed from KP&L on Friday. During the repairs, electrical needs will be handled by the West Campus feed.
Miller requested that all students and faculty members turn off unnecessary computers, printers, copiers and lighting in classrooms tonight.
Miller said student residence units on the periphery of campus would not be affected. All lines are expected to be returned to normal about 4 a.m. tomorrow.

Wisconsin apologizes for doctored photo
MADISON, Wis. — Seeking an image of diversity, the University of Wisconsin at Madison says it doctored a photo on a brochure cover by inserting an African-American student in a crowd of white football fans.
"We did it in this one instance, and it really was an error in judgment," said University Publications Director Al Friedman.
The university's undergraduate admissions director, Rob Seltzer, said his office spent the summer looking for pictures that would show the school had a diverse enrollment — but had no luck. As of fall 1999, less than 10 percent of the school's more than 40,000 students were
nonwhite, and only 2.15 percent were African American.
The staff settled on a 1993 photo of white Badger fans at a football game. Friedman said his office altered the photo to add an image taken in 1994 of senior Diallo Shabazz.
The university won't discipline those involved, because they admitted their mistake and apologized to Shabazz, said Patrick Strickler, a university representative.
The brochure will be reprinted,
Strickler said yesterday. The copies
will be sent to all those who received
the original who can be found, with a
letter of explanation. There were
110,000 copies made of the original.
space shuttle Atlantis makes night landing
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Space shuttle Atlantis and its crew of seven swooped through the predawn darkness and landed yesterday, ending a successful mission to outfit the international space station.
"Congratulations on an outstanding job," Mission Control told the astronauts. "We are proud of you all."
Powerful xenon lights illuminated the three-mile-long runway at Atlantis emerged from the gloom like a ghost ship, with a half-moon as a backdrop. Touchdown was right on time, at 3:56 a.m., just as launch was back on Sept. 8.
It was only the 15th nighttime landing in space shuttle history. Nighttime landings are becoming more common, though, now that NASA has a space station in orbit. All three previous shuttle flights to the space station also ended in darkness.
The freshly stocked space station was soaring 240 miles above the Atlantic when Atlantis touched down. It will be visited by shuttle astronauts again in just two weeks — its first full-time residents will move in at the beginning of November.
Atlantis' astronauts spent eight days at the space station, five of them inside.
Space station assembly is expected to last until 2006.
Prank telephone calls puzzle hospital officials
Members of at least 20 families have rushed to the Beth Israel Medical Center emergency room in the past two weeks, only to learn they were victims of a hoax, said hospital representative Anne McDarby.

would do this."
The relatives interviewed by hospital staffers share a similar story. A female caller identifies herself as being affiliated with the hospital and asks, "Do you have a son or daughter?" or some other relative.
"Needless to say, they're frantic when they get here," McDarby said. "I can't understand why anyone
When the recipient replies yes, the woman says, "We have someone with your name who's been involved in an accident. You need to come down here right away."
The caller then asks the victim to wait and returns to the phone a few minutes later and says the person has just died.
McDarby said the hospital never relayed word of a death through the telephone. It has reported the matter to the Essex County prosecutor's office and asks that anyone receiving such a call to report it to police or the telephone company.
Charlotte Smith, a representative for the prosecutor's office, said the caller likely would face only a misdemeanor charge of harassment and 30 days in jail.

Deadly West Nile virus declared an epidemic
JERUSALEM — Health authorities declared West Nile virus infection an epidemic yesterday, saying the mosquito-borne illness has killed 13 people in Israel this summer and infected thousands more.
The virus has been around in Israel for decades but had not been seen in the Western Hemisphere until last year, when it killed seven people in New York City.
Israel is the first country to have declared an epidemic since the virus spread to the United States. The virus also is found in Africa, other Middle Eastern countries, Europe and Asia.
It can lead to encephalitis — a swelling of the brain — but most peo ple recover. The elderly and sick are most vulnerable.
For now, most cases are concentrated in Israel's central coastal plain and have not reached outlying or hilly areas, including Jerusalem.
After announcing that infections have reached epidemic proportions, health officials yesterday asked Israelis to take extra precautions against mosquito bites, such as using repellent and wearing long sleeves.
This year's outbreak was the worst in Israel in several years, said Silvio Pitik, director of internal medicine and infectious disease at Rabin Medical Center. He said there was no clear-cut explanation, but that experts suspected it could be linked to changing patterns in bird migration.

KEY WEST, Fla. — The remaining eight Cuban survivors of a plane crash in the Gulf of Mexico were transferred to a Coast Guard cutter to be brought to Key West for medical evaluation yesterday, a U.S. Coast Guard representative said.

A ninth survivor was already being treated at a Key West hospital for head and neck injuries.
"We made the recommendation that all the people would be brought in to the hospital so they could be checked out medically," said Petty Officer Scott Carr.
U. S. law lets Cubans apply for residency if they reach U.S. soil. Ordinarily, those who are picked up at sea are returned to Cuba, but authorities said it was too early to say what would happen with the crash survivors. A tenth person on board the plane died when it went down.

Mock Trial Team exempt from expense rules
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kanson.com
Kanson stoff writer
The KU Mock Trial Team cleared its first hurdle toward acquiring more money from Student Senate last night after two Senate committees passed a bill exempting the group from a funding restriction.
STUDENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
SENATE
Senate would have to approve the bill for the exemption to take effect. If passed, the team still would have to petition the finance committee for the money.
Currently, Senate does not grant money for travel expenses for student organizations, with a few exceptions, including the Marching Jayhawks and KU Forensics. Last night, the Senate Finance and Student Rights committees approved the Mock Trial Team as another exception to that rule.
The team already receives money for basic expenses such as advertising and postage.
Branden Bell, president of the Mock Trial Team, said travel was a critical part of the group's existence.
"In order to compete and become a national competitor, we need to go to meets," Bell said. "We've been able to barely afford to go to nationals."
The team, which has about 25 members, competes in tournaments that act out a trial in a courtroom format based on a case published by the American Mock Trial Association. Bell said.
Dallas Rakestraw, Nunemaker senator and co-sponsor of the bill, said the group, which is in its fourth year, deserved to be an exception to the travel-funding restriction. The group has qualified for the national tournament every year since it started.
"I saw the same bill last year, and it was voted down because the committee felt the team did not have enough of a track record," Rakesstraw said. "They have gone out and shown that they are good, that they are a contender and will raise money."
Bell said the team did not plan to ask Senate for money for travel expenses unless it could not raise enough money on its own.
He said if the team asked for travel money, the amount likely would not exceed $2,000. Senate allocated $65,000 for travel this year to the Marching Jayhawks. KU Forensics received $11,000.
Corey Snyder, education senator, voted against the bill.
"To make them exempt causes a lot of problems for other organizations that could possibly use Student Senate money for travel." Snyer said. "It opens a barn door for other groups to want to be an exception, too."
Senate will vote on the bill at its Wednesday's meeting at 6:30 p.m.

End-of-life choices tough for families
By Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Family members of nursing home patients often are unprepared to make decisions about their loved one's end-of-life care, a University of Kansas Medical Center researcher has found.
Even when a patient has long suffered from chronic illness and memory loss, family members often are not ready to make decisions on issues such as whether to use a feeding tube or take measures to resuscitate the study found.
Part of the problem is that long-termcare personnel often had not discussed the decisions with family ahead of time, said Susan Forbes, the assistant professor of nursing who conducted the study.
Forbes interviewed the families of patients with severe dementia in four Kansas City-area nursing homes. Most of them had not even considered end-of-life decisions, even if their family member was nearing death, she said.
"It surprised us that they were so far from thinking about those things," she said. "They were just dealing with day-to-day events."
Paula Volkmann, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, cared for patients with dementia and Alzheimer's disease at a nursing home in her home town this summer. She said she wasn't surprised by the study's findings, because dealing with end-of-life issues often was most difficult when the patient no longer recognizes family members.
"I think that's the hardest thing — when you can't communicate with the person who's dying — it makes it hard to let go," she said. "You can't bring closure."
The study concluded that nursing home staff and health care personnel need to discuss end-of-life issues with relatives ahead of time and that they need to provide more information, counseling and emotional support.
"Based on the severity of the patients' dementia, we assumed that most of the participants would be well into acceptance of the dying process." Forbes said. "But we were wrong. Death was not part of the day-to-day experience of the family members, largely because they lacked information and emotional support. A lot of them were still trying to deal with the guilt of putting their loved one in a nursing home."
Forbes said families seemed equally unprepared, despite differing ethnic backgrounds and financial situations.
"We looked to see if ethnicity and economic factors influence end-of-life decision making." Forbes said. "We didn't find differences."

not see another "INSA student," she said. "That only increases your isolation." Dina Drye, office assistant and Web site historian for the Indigenous Studies Program, said that the organization was a way for Native-American students to feel connected.
But the organization is open to all nationalities, she said, and many students are involved just to learn about Native-American culture. Events throughout the year allow members of the group to demonstrate that culture.
Bointy said the group would put on an Indigenous People's Survival Day on Wescoe Beach to coincide with Columbus Day, Monday, Oct. 9.

Many Native Americans believe they are a forgotten minority. Bounty said.
"Personally, I think it's because a lot of people want us to go away," she said.
Clyde Bellecourt, who co-founded the national American Indian Movement in 1968. agreed.
He said that Americans felt guilty for past treatment of Native Americans.
Both Bointy and Bellecourt pointed to education as an area that needed improvement.
Bointy said western civilization requirements failed to teach Native-American history. Students become incensed about the Jewish holocaust, Bointy said, but don't realize the same thing happened to Native Americans in the United States in the 1800s.
Bellecourt said America needed to rid itself of what he called the John Wayne mentality.
"America today — as far as Indians are concerned — is just totally scholastically retarded," he said.

He was a welcome addition to the house, said Aaron Hollingshead, Kappa Sigma vice president.
A midlife crisis and a bit of serendipity caused Ehinger to land the job with his former Baker fraternity when he learned of the opening at Kappa Sigma. But he said he thought this would only be a temporary position.
He said Ehinger, who is working on a graduate degree in sports administration at the University of Kansas, filled the role of both
"Since he's an alum and has lived here, anytime we have a problem and we think we're not going to get through it, we ask him what his class would have done." Hollingshead said.
Ehinger also is a graduate teaching assistant for ballroom dance and football-coaching classes at the University of Kansas.
"It was a place where everyone's parents made them to learn etiquette, but I had fun," he said.
He learned ballroom dance when he attended a dance school during high school.
Ehinger said he was a little nervous about teaching the class because he had not really danced since high school. During the summer, he brushed up on his moves and went back to his old dance school to get video tapes of some of the dances.

Perspective Bush unfit candidate for president
For comments, contact Ben Embry or Emily Hughey at 864-4924 or e-mail opinion@kansan.com
Most of you must be following the Olympic Games in Australia. The Games come
Most of you must be following the Olympic Games in Australia. The Games come every four years and help us forget about the country's domestic politics for a certain period — usually in July.
But this year's games are happening in September — thank God.
It's a good thing to see our favorite sports being played by top athletes.
But having the Olympics now is even better because we can get rid of George W. Bush news coverage for a couple of weeks. That's not good news — that's awesome news.
No more reporter-bashing, no more debate talk and certainly enough of
"Rats" ads — at least for a while. I would bet that even the GOP strategists couldn't wait until the start of the opening ceremony. They now have some time to think about how they can make people vote for a candidate that has run out of excuses for his radical actions.
I can still remember the first column I wrote for the Kansan more than a year ago. It was unfortunately.
It was, indeed, about Bush. My point then was that even though Bush had been on drugs, he had admitted it. For me, at that point, it was a good thing. It felt good to see a politician telling the truth

But Bush has proven me wrong again and again. Bush knows no truth. He has done all but tell it. And there's no need for someone like him in today's politics. I really can't imagine Bush negotiating things such as a peace settlement between Israel and Palestine or a trade deal with the European Union.
The president needs to do these things. And President Clinton knows how to do them like nobody else. However, I can understand some Republicans when they say that Clinton set a bad example in the Lewinsky case. He really did. There's no excuse for what he did in that regard. But take that single episode out of Clinton's presidency and you will see a great president — a skillful and powerful leader who gets what he wants not because he has power, but because he knows how to deal with people, a.k.a. human beings. I wonder if Bush knows what this means. I can picture Bush negotiating a case in which he had a fictitious red button by his side, symbolizing the United States' nuclear supremacy. In that case, he would yell at people. "Do what I want or I'll hit it."
However, for the sake of fairness,
there is one thing I like about Bush.
The governor makes us feel good. I feel
so good when I hear Bush speaking. If
he can be in a race for the White House,
anybody can.
I'm sure that a good portion of the University of Kansas student body would spell "subliminal" correctly, but Bush wouldn't. I'm also sure that many of you would know a couple of foreign heads of state, but the governor wouldn't know that either. In case I right, you could be extremely well qualified to run for the presidency.
So picture it: You can be president of the United States — Bush can't.
I know that this is a Republican state But even Republicans need to be aware of the dangers of electing someone like George W. Bush.
Following party lines is great when you have a good candidate to represent your party — not someone who will embarrass it. Four years is a lot of time to waste at this point in history.
The next president will head the United States in the new millennium that's why I hope it doesn't elect someone who reminds me of the Cretaceous period.

Perspective
Coach is responsible for players' actions
Many Jayhawks apparently don't find sexual assault that big a deal, that serious a crime. They didn't Saturday, anyway. That was the day that 12 students distributed handbills calling attention to the assault of a female soccer player by two members of the football team last year.
The groups behind the handbills made me wince, particularly the Womyn's.
Empowerment Action Coalition, which evidently either lacks a dictionary or feels that the best way to achieve gender harmony is to use polarizing, radicalist errors in grammar.
M. A. M. S. K. R. P. T. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. V. W. X. Y. Z.
Still, its aim was a sound one. It is right that we should be reminded of the abuses of the program and the coach.
When two football players decided to become the latest sexual predators at the University of Kansas it was saddening, terrible, but not entirely unexpected. Nor was it necessarily a stain on Jayhawk football as a whole. There are bad apples in every bunch, especially in college athletics, and the actions of two individuals do not reflect upon the entire team.

Coach Terry Allen's response,however does.
He is the captain of his ship, the leader of his team. It is only natural that a coach should stamp his own
mark, his own character onto his players.
Coach Allen has apologized for his actions. He now realizes that he was wrong — after the media, the faculty and the student body pointed this out to him with their outrage.
Prior to this public instruction, the evidence says that coach Allen felt that the proper punishment for sexual assault bordering on rape is ... crosstraining — extra stairs.
Why, this is wonderful news for America's overcrowded prisons. Perhaps coach Allen also feels that murderers should be punished with extra pushups or arsonists by having to memorize complicated gridiron plays.
And now, the conduct of the fans — who rained insults and abuse down on people who dared disturb their football by pointing out that sex crimes are wrong — proves those 12 concerned students right.
The conduct of players, coach and department has indicated that yes, there is a need for us to remember.
The first Kansan I picked up upon returning from break had a story about last year's sexual assault on one side of the front page. The other side had a story about the rape of a woman on Campanile Hill.
Welcome to the home of the Jayhawks. Welcome to the home of coach Allen.
These are indeed Terry Allen's men.
Rape? Go away. We don't care.
Don't interrupt our football.

Editorial
Students' opinions not heard
Students should be included in the partnership between University and Coca-Cola.
Many students are discontented by this fall's 15-cent increase of on-campus Coke products. However, a greater issue is at stake. As the University of Kansas partnership with Coke grows tighter, student voices are not being heard.
During the summer, the University, Treat America and Coke voted for the increase in vending machine costs. However, the beverage costs 85 cents when purchased with a smart card. Paying out of the pocket costs $1.
The purpose of the change is to promote smart card use. Nancy Miles, a KU card administrator, states that the cards are designed as an identification card, but also serve as a convenient tool to use services on campus. Nevertheless, not a single student was included in the decision.
In fact, Ben Walker, Student Senate president, and Marlon Marshall, vice president, were not aware of the price hike until well after the decision. Student Senate now is looking into the matter as being a violation of the KU constitution.
Marshall said the card was supposed to be a convenience to students, not a discount coupon. Most disturbing, however, is the manner in which the issue was handled.
While the plan to increase the price of Coke disadvantages nonsmart card users as it is, students had no voice in the decision.
Furthermore, most students choose not to place money on their smart cards for several reasons, including the possibility of theft and the inability to recover the money if lost. The plan only benefits those who use it.
According to Students Senate's constitution, Article 17 Section 2 states that any policy-making committee must have no fewer than 20% of its members as students. Student Senate is going to begin planning ways to come together with the KU-Coke partnership not only to reevaluate the price increase, but to make sure all students are fairly represented and benefit from it.

Volunteers, kids enjoy program
Adopt-A-School offers role models tutoring for kids
By Amber Huntzinger Special to the Kansan
Volunteers for Adopt-A-School say that one of the most enjoyable aspects of the program is the bonds they form with the children.
Volunteer Nikki Clark,
Bartlesville, Okla., senior, remembers a note she received from a former student assuring her that when Clark was a teacher, her students wouldn't want a weekend.
The Adopt-A-School program pairs University of Kansas students with area elementary and junior high school classrooms to promote unity between the
University and Lawrence.
Clark has been involved with Adopt-A-School since her freshman year and has been co-chairwoman of the program for the past year.
Volunteers sign up to be in the classroom for two hours each week. Clark said. Their responsibilities range from tutoring and reading to helping with classroom activities.
"It is a lot of work but very rewarding," said co-chairman Joe Evans, Kansas City, Kan., senior.
Clark said the program could open up future job opportunities for students of any major. It's a great way to get involved, she said, and a perfect opportunity to get a recommendation if the volunteer is committed and responsible.
Adopt-A-School benefits the children as well.
"The kids look up to the students." Clark said. "They can't wait
Natalie Goodwin, Fairway junior and coordinator for Central Junior High, said she treasured her time working with the kids.
to be in their shoes."
"Kids look up to us." she said. "We are their role models."
Though Adopt-A-School is primarily a Greek program, it is open to all students.
"Be excited to see them," Clark said. "Because they are excited to see you."
"We don't screen our volunteers." Clark said. "But we expect them to be prompt, responsible and hard working."
Evans said the program had been a great experience.
The volunteers are instructed to be prepared to interact with the children each day.
"It is easy to make a small effort for such a big difference," she said.

Lottery officials plan security audit
TOPEKA — The Kansas Lottery postponed a security audit planned for last year, and an attorney raised new questions about its operations in court Tuesday.
Ed Van Petten, the lottery's deputy director, confirmed Tuesday that the agency expected last year to hire an outside firm for the audit but didn't. He said problems in finding a firm delayed the audit.
The attorney general's office accused former lottery employee Richard Lee Knowlton of altering computer records and lottery tickets to steal $62,932 in 18 months, ending in March.
During a hearing Tuesday in Knowlton's case in Shawnee County District Court, defense
attorney William Rork suggested two lottery employees — including Knowlton's former superior — faced personnel actions.
Van Petten would not confirm whether any such action is pending and said the two still were listed as lottery employees.
Rork and Knowlton's family contend that Knowlton uncovered problems at the lottery that state officials are struggling to keep hidden, an idea Van Petten disputes.
Knowlton was in court with Rork for a hearing on Knowlton's bail, originally set at $200,000. On Friday, the attorney general's office filed 268 theft, computer crime and official misconduct charges against Knowlton, most of them felonies.
District Judge Thomas Conklin lowered Knowlton's bill to $70,000.
Conklin, however, set conditions on Knowiton's release that prohibit him from using computers and restrict his ability to leave his home and have contact with his children, whom the state lists as potential witnesses.
"In other words, it's like house arrest," Conklon told Knowlton from the bench.
State officials, including Van Petten, have vouched for the integrity of the lottery's games and have said no other current or former lottery employees are under criminal investigation.
Van Petten said the lottery now was taking bids from outside firms to conduct the security audit originally planned for last year.
Van Petten said he did not know when a firm would be selected for the audit.

Lasers provide officers safety, more accuracy
"An officer doesn't need a patrol car anymore," she said. "I can have my bike officers run traffic."
"An officer can stand at the side of traffic and get their reading instead of standing in the middle of traffic." she said.
The mobility feature also could keep officers safe. The laser has a survey mode, which can measure skid marks at accident scenes from a safe distance.
Motorists should be aware of the lasers' range - it can shoot up to 4,000 feet. Rozmiarek shoots targets up to 250 feet away, which she said was key to working in areas like school zones.
The laser not only detects speed but also distance.
"A big question many have is how I knew they were in a school zone," Rozmiarek said. "With the laser, there's no question on where they were at that point."
The laser also has a built-in error system. The radars can pick up the wrong vehicle if the bandwidth is obstructed, Rozmiiarek said. If an obstacle inhibits the laser, it will give an error message.
"It eliminates many of the normal arguments people use to get out of their speeding tickets," Rozmiarek said.
Eddie Yang, Overland Park junior,
said the new technology would defini-
tely change his driving speed.
"I would drive slower because usually when I get pulled over, it's bad news." Yang said.
But Mike Bennett, Overland Park freshman, may not pay heed to the lasers.
"It itms like the police here are really chill," Bennett said. "I don't get in trouble as it is, so why change?"

SYDNEY, Australia — A gamewinning grand-slam homer. A dramatic, record-setting upset at the pool. A soccer star revisiting her World Cup heroics.
The Associated Press
U. S. Olympians weren't just winning yesterday in Sydney, they were doing it in style.
U.S. Olympians dominate, win with style in Sydney
Longshot Misty Hyman and relay team anchor Jenny Thompson captured gold medals in record times for the American swimmers to start the heroics.
Brandi Chastain later scored a goal to help boost the U.S. women's soccer team into the semifinals, while the American baseball team used a two-out, eighth-inning home run to defeat South Korea 4-0.
For Thompson, the 800-meter freestyle relay victory catapulted her into rarified Olympic company. With seven golds, she now has more than any woman swimmer, breaking a tie with Germany's Kristin Otto.
Thompson, 27, who also has a silver in her career, tied Czech Republic gymnast Vera Caslavaska for the second-most Olympic golds by a woman. With teammates Samantha Arsenault, Diana Munz and Lindsay Benko, she established an Olympic record of 7 minutes, 57.80 seconds.
The 21-year-old Hyman shocked defending champion Susie O'Neill of Australia to win the 200 butterfly.
"I've played it over so many times in my head, but I never thought it would come true," said Hyman, who nearly quit swimming in May because of poor health and poor times.
Amid the red, white and blue celebration, the orange-clad fans of the Netherlands had reason to cheer as a Dutchman nicknamed "Hoogie" turned some of the world's top swimmers into more blowfish.
Pieter van den Hoogenband won gold in the 100 freestyle in 48.30 seconds, whipping two-time defending gold medalist
Alexander Popov of Russia. Popov settled for silver, while American Gary Hall Jr. took the bronze.
Van den Hoogenband became the first man to sweep the 100 and 200 freestyle since American Mark Spitz in 1972.
After five days of competition, the Americans topped the medal tables with 23 (10 gold, 7 silver, 6 bronze). Host Australia was second with 22 (7-8-7), while China had 17 (6-4-7).
Doug Mientkiewicz's eighth-inning grand slam gave the United States a 4-0 victory against South Korea, the fourth straight victory for the Americans. Mientkiewicz snapped a scoreless
BASEBALL
tie for manager Tom Lasorda's team by driving a two-out pitch deep over the wall in right field.
The American victory came on the heels of the Netherlands' stunning 4-2 victory against Cuba, ending the Cubans' 21-game Olympic winning streak.
OLYMPIC GAMES
WOMEN'S SOCCER
Next stop for the U.S. women: the Olympic semifinals. The Americans took step No.1 toward defending their 1996 gold medal by defeating Nigeria 3-1 to finish first in their half of the draw.
World Cup heroine Brandi Chastain opened the U.S. scoring, with Kristine Lilly and Shannon MacMillan adding the other goals. On Sunday, the women will face Brazil in one game, while Norway and Germany will battle in the other semifinal.
China, the other finalist in the 1999 World Cup, was eliminated by a surprising 2-1 loss to
Norway.
SOFTBALL
There was a little drama left over for the women's softball team, too — but not the kind they liked. For the second straight game, the once-invincible Americans lost in extra innings, this time 2-0 to China in 14 innings. Losing pitcher Michele Smith set an Olympic record with 21 strikeouts, but it wasn't enough.
Zhang Chunfang lined a single off Smith's leg to score one run, and second baseman Jennifer McFaills threw wide of first, allowing the other runner to come all the way around.
Before the back-to-back losses, the softball team had won 112 consecutive games.
---
CYCLING
Tears streamed down Marty Nothstein's face as he hugged his wife and children. The cyclist captured a gold medal in the men's match sprint, the first American cycling gold since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
Nothstein swept the first two races in his best-of-3 showdown with Florian Rousseau of France, who took the silver. The Trexlertown, Pa., native showed no emotion until he raised his hands in victory after securing first place.
MEN'S GYMNASTICS
No good news for the U.S. team in the men's all-around competition. As Russia's Alexei Nemov captured the gold, the top American finisher was five-time national champion Blaine Wilson and he finished ninth.
and the finishing touch.
The United States hasn't won an all-around medal since Peter Vidmar's silver in 1984.
WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL
The Americans won their third straight, 25-19, 25-18, 25-16 against Croatia, to put themselves in prime position for a medal run. The Americans, with two preliminary games left, could wind up in one of the top two spots in the quarterfinals.

Flag football in full swing
By Aaron Johnson

Kansan sportswriter
The intramural flag football season is off and running, and all signs are pointing to a great one.
Twenty-seven men's open brackets, five women's open brackets and seven co-rec brackets make up the league. Each team starts eight players but can play with seven.
"The games have been very competitive," said Chad Lafferty, Little River senior and intramural supervisor. "Everyone wants a good seed for the tournament."
The teams play three games in the regular season before looking to the playoffs.
Trevor Hostin, Scottsdale, Ariz.
senior, who is a referee and a player, said the biggest problem on the field had been the excessive pulling of opponents' flags.
"For some people, it is hard to get them to realize that it is flag football," he said. Brian Peterson, Columbus, Ohio, Junior, and member of the Freestate Firebirds, had a different view.
"I wish the refs would let the players play a little more," he said. "Overall, the season has been unbelievable, and I can't wait for the playoffs."
The 2000 Intramural Flag Football Tournament begins Friday, September 29.
"I think we're ready for the playoffs," Peterson said. "We realize that you win or you're out."

Cornhuskers thump Kansas
By Sarah Warren

Kansan sportswriter
A Nike swoosh almost became a permanent facial feature for Jennifer Kraft, who took a high-velocity volleyball across her left cheek courtesy of Nebraska last night at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center.
The Jayhawks shared the sophomore defensive specialist's pain as they, too, were smacked in the face by the topranked Cornhuskers, dropping three games and losing the match 15-7, 15-5 and 15-6.
"Against this team you better play pretty well for an hour and a half to have a good chance," said coach Ray Bechard.
No team this season has had a good
chance.
The Cornhuskers are 10-0 and in no jeopardy of losing their No. 1 rank. Nebraska recorded a team hitting percentage of .495, while Kansas came away with a below-normal .193. The 'Huskers also out-blocked Kansas, 9-2, and out-killed Kansas, 50-41.
"We didn't play up to our potential at all," said Molly LaMere, junior setter. "And they are just really good, all-around players."
Indeed, every player in for the 'Huskers could pass, set, kill and serve. And the serves became a large factor in the downfall of Kansas, Bechard said.
"They mixed up their serves — short or long — they served well," he said. "They don't take any shortcuts; their plavers can do it all."
And they could do it all with height.
Their 6-foot-plus starting lineup could dig and bump in the back row just as well as any 5-foot-5 defensive specialist could, without compromising frontline power.
"They put so much pressure on you that you feel like you're on the defensive all night," Bechard said. "There were some balls they hit that you've just got to say nice swing because you just can't get them."
Nancy Bell, senior outside hitter, said that even when a Jayhawk did get a chance to swing, Nebraska's blockers didn't even flinch.
"When you have a blocker that big, you have to watch it or it will hit you back in the face just as hard," Bell said. She said, however, that the biggest problem the Jayhawks had was of their own doing.
"They were passing the balls, and we weren't," Bell said. "And when we're not passing well, we can't get Molly the ball for a set, so we can even try to take a shot."
beau and senior outside hitter Amy Myatt, Kansas' leaders in kills, were held to only 10 and 11 kills, respectively. Each of them had been averaging about 16 kills per match. Freshman outside hitter Sarah Rome, who usually tails her senior teammates in kills, was held to only three during the match.
"We didn't play our game tonight," LaMere said. "And we can't do that again on Saturday."
The Jayhawks travel to Iowa State to take on the 2-7 Cyclones at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.

Size matters against Nebraska

A big red storm quietly crept up on the Horejsi Family Athletics Center last night, dumped on the Kansas volleyball team and then disappeared into the night.
The aftermath of that storm left the Jayhawks standing 10-2, while No. 1 Nebraska remains unblemished.
The storm struck in a variety of forms. Thunderous rumbles bellowed from the 'Husker fans who had followed the team from Lincoln. Lightning spikes struck from the hand of Laura Pilakowski, a 6-foot-1 outside hitter. All of the elements combined for a 3-0 sweep for Nebraska.
The first element of the attack came from the army of nearly 300 'Husker fans who packed the stands. They follow the 'Huskers to every game,
At the heart of every Nebraska attack was one word — size.
wherever the team goes.
"It's a state where there's not a lot else to do except watching college teams," said Kent Coudeyras, Burchard, Neb., resident. "I guess that's probably what draws us to them."
Nebraska has cruised to that record by bullying, blasting and belting opponents from the first serve. Last night, the team rolled to an 11-0 advantage in the opening game before Kansas realized what hit it.
"The they are big and they hit the ball hard," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "We've got to try to put the most physical lineup we can out there, and still you look a little bit small compared to what they throw at you."
The number of fans who crowd the stands on road games might provide a home-like atmosphere for the 'Huskers, and the team's dominance on the court reflects that comfort zone with a 10-0 record.
Twelve players on the roster are
taller than 6 feet, compared with six for Kansas. Nebraska setter Greischal Cepero is 6-feet-2. Kansas setter Molly LaMere is 5-foot-7.
That athleticism and power of Pilakowski did the most damage. She belted 17 kills in the game. As a team, Nebraska had 50 kills. The 'Huskers also dominated the front line by out blocking Kansas 9-2. In the volleyball world, that all-around dominance makes the 'Huskers larger than life — literally.
"The size is intimidating," Coudeyras said. "Even some of the small players help contribute, but there's athleticism too — it's not just size."
"When you have a block that big ahead of you, you have to think smarter," said Nancy Bell, senior outside hitter. "You can't just go up and hit it as hard as you possibly can because the ball will come back that hard in your face."

Coincidences? Stats prove freaky truths
The Kansas football team should be invited to the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
As reported in Monday's Kansan, Al Gore will be the country's next president.
In the last six presidential election years, when the Jayhawks won their second game, the Democratic candidate won the election. And because the 'Hawks beat Alabama-Birmingham Saturday, Gore will win in November.
When the Jayhawks lost the season's second game in the last six elections, a Republican won the election.
Kansas beat Texas Christian and Ball State in Bill Clinton's winning Novembers, and won in 1976 against Washington State when Jimmy Carter was elected. When George Bush won in 1988, Kansas lost to Auburn in that season's second game and fell to Florida State and Pittsburgh in '84 and '80 respectively when Reagan was elected. (These statistics were provided by the Kansas Sports Information office.)
Students should still rock the vote in November, but just go with the inevitable and check the box next to Gore's name on the ballot.
I tried to assemble my own historical stats to see what additional predictions could be made. But, as journalism majors generally aren't strong mathematicians, I couldn't find too many dazzling treasures inside the numbers on my own.
In years when Star Wars movies were released, the Jayhawks didn't use the force as much as they should have. They were a combined 16-21-4 in four seasons.
Frantically searching for more relationships between Kansas football and national events, I decided to focus on that purple thorn in the Jayhawks' collective side — Kansas State.
The Wildcats have owned the Sunflower Showdown the past seven years, but the following numbers show why Kansas will win this year.
In years ending in zero, the Jayhawks are 6-1 against the Wildcats, winning the last such game in 1990, 27-24. (The two teams didn't play each other in 1910 or 1900.) The Wildcats won their lone zero-year game in 1840.
Kansas also is 29-16-3 against K-State in contests played during even years.
Here's the real kicker. Kansas has recorded it three 10-win seasons in years when Saturdays fall on the same dates as this year. Perhaps my 8-3 prediction earlier in the semester wasn't lofty enough.
The Jayhawks defeated No. 4 Colorado on Oct. 7, 1985. No. 5 K-State comes to Lawrence Oct. 7 this year. Coincidence? Wildcat fans probably should cancel those reservations in Miami for the Orange Bowl.
For the Jayhawks to go with the flow of my brilliant research this year, they need to play as they did for the majority of the first half Saturday against UAB.
As for me, I should probably quit analyzing records and numbers and spend more time doing homework. Well, at least I was working on history.

Running back fulfills new role after injury-plagued season
By Jason Franchuk
sports @ kansan.com
Kansan sports writer
When David Winbush is forced to talk about the past, he will pause, which is very unlike him.
Whether Kansas' senior running back is running or speaking, he does it quickly. The lapses in answers could be from the frustration that came when last season's expectations did not pan out because of injuries. Or because those struggles left him entering this season with an undetermined role.
"Um ... you know ..." Winbush said. "It's just ... last year was tough because I didn't want the team to feel that I could play well in one game and then always have to sit out the next one because I'd be hurt."
Five-foot-7-inch, 180-pound running backs get hurt. The problem was that they weren't debilitating injuries, just the constant, nagging types that are enough to keep a player from playing to his full potential.
Winbush saw action in 11 games, missing only the game against Kansas State with a sprained knee. But he was not completely healthy much of the season, and Kansas found a different option.
Instead of trying to out-hustle opposing teams with the fleet-footed Winbush, Kansas was going to bulldoz them. Moran Norris, at 6-2, 245 pounds, was the solution. And Winbush was inclined to be a decoy.
"I tried not to let it bother me," Winbush said. "I just told myself that I was going to get the ball on the next play."
"Last year was tough because I couldn't always be part of the game."
David Winbush Kansas running back
With his injuries, he still led Kansas in rushing for the second straight year with 687 yards.
"I knew I was ready to go," Winbush said of starting this year. "But I was concerned from the standpoint if the coaches were convinced."
Playing two teams that posses less size than Kansas, Norris has remained a focal point, but that has not kept Winbush from touching the football. He
"Ideally, we'd like to get both Moran and David the ball," Allen said. "We'd like to get David 10 to 15 rushes per game and a few touches out of the back-field catching."
Coach Terry Allen confirmed that Winbush remained an important part of the offense.
had 10 carries for 62 yards in Saturday's win against Alabama-Birmingham and was named by coaches as the team's offensive player of the week.
Winbush said he would be happy with whichever role he could contribute.
"Last year was tough because I couldn't always be part of the fun," Winbush said. "Now I'm happy Moran and I are both healthy, and we can both help this team have some success."

Renaissance-style fashions draw spectators' stares
Story by Meghan Bainum Photo by Brad Dreier
A woman stands by her booth at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival, selling beer stains and smiling at the passing crowd. When she sees a frowning face she yells: "Smile, don't make me lean over!"
Murrell is proud of the effect her long black skirt and tight, low-cut leather corset has on male — and female — visitors.
Usually, the visitor smiles because when Theresa Murrell, a bawdy wench with an overstuffed bodice, leans over - people notice.
"He'll grin, then he'll notice his wife watching," she said. "He'll stop grinning, and she'll start to laugh — then he'll start grinning again."
Murrell happily showed how the corset caused large eyes and guilty grins. She "fluffed" her breasts up in the corset, higher and higher, until a shelf of cleavage
"I could pull my breasts up until I couldn't put my head down," she said.
Thanks to the corset's four layers of leather and several metal plates, Murrell was confident everything would stay in place.
"I could pull my breasts up until I couldn't put my head down."
At the Renaissance Festival, 20th century garb such as jeans and T-shirts, seem centuries out of style. And, in a way, it is — about 400 years out of style, in fact.

However, some of the male visitors to the festival, including Dustin Parks of Abilene, weren't ready to experience the freedom of wearing tights.
"For the most part, they are very cool," he said. "That's what keeps us cool on a hot day."
Though wearing tights is all in a days work for Lawton, there was one thing he had to get used to: Underwear doesn't fit under tights.
"That's odd at first," Lawton said. "But it's just almost like a pair of box-

She had to think for a

"Bloomers, chemise, corset, hoop skirt, underskirt, overskirt, bodice and sleeves," Wright said.
Though the clothing could make her hot, she said it was worth it to see the look in kids' eyes when they saw her in her bejeweled, red velvet dress.
Kelley Gorman, a child from Pleasant Hill, Mo., was transfixed by the glamorous look.
"I like those big poofy dresses," Kelley said. "They are the coolest."
Though women's Renaissance fashion included many layers of clothes, Murrell said it wasn't all that hot. She said the corsets she wore were more comfortable than modern clothes.
As she "fluffed" her breasts up in her corset, Murrell extolled the comfort of corset wearing.
"It's significantly more comfortable than an underwire bra," she said.
With her cleavage at its fully "fluffed" position, Murrell carefully balances one of her larger wooden steins on the top of her breasts — a benefit when drinking or selling her steins.
"If I pull them up I can fit a seven-cup stein up here," she said.
Just try to do that with a pair of tights.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 21). Friends can help your career, and getting a better job could lead to more friends. Experience and luck are major factors in your success. Decide what you want in September. Quick wits lead to a lucky break in October. A surprising development sends you back to the drawing board in December. The work's a challenge, but you love it in February. Relocation expands your options in June. Look sharp to attract important friends in July. Move quickly to gain more status in August.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
You could get a burst of energy, but be careful.
You could take off in the wrong direction. Think about your priorities again and rearrange them, if necessary. That could be the most valuable time you spend all day.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8.
Some days your brain just works better, and this could be one of them. Reasess a problem that's had you stymied. You may think of a way around it or find a book that helps. What you don't know, you can learn, so get busy.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6
If you're buying something for your home, you may have to spend more than you planned. Only do that for the highest quality. If this product lasts long, you'll make your money back. Don't buy on a whim even if you're in a hurry.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7
You should get a lucky break, so watch for it. Something you've recently learned could come in handy, especially in an argument. The other person may feel confident, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he or she is right.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22] — Today is a 6.
Don't be distracted by a person you'd like to know better. There'll be time for that during the week. Meanwhile, finish something you promised. If you don't get that done by tomorrow, there could be trouble.
P
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7
Others admire you for your wit and discretion. Your courage is being talked about, too. They'll be glad to help if there's work to be done. Let them know what you need, quickly. You won't gain a thing by waiting.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6
Take care of details and keep a low profile. The more you finish, the better. An older person could ask for an accounting, and you want to be ready when that happens. You may have to move quickly, too, so pay attention.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
2
Ligarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a d. During the next few days, conditions will ease. Meanwhile, a test must be passed. Schedule your celebration for this weekend, but don't relax yet. Make sure the facts and figures are at your finger-tips. Be ready to explain them to a critical audience
Place that long-distance phone call now, instead of waiting for tomorrow. Your conversation could make a difference in the plans both of you make.
Don't relax your guard. Anticipate everything that could go wrong, just in case.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
A partner may get through where you tried and failed. If so, don't feel bad. There's more than enough to keep you busy; delegate as much as possible. If you keep track of what's going on, you'll still get credit where credit's due.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
Stop giggling and get serious. You have to finish some work before you can play. You should have big plans for this weekend. Don't get distracted from a job that must get done, or you'll find yourself in a world of hurt tomorrow.

Attendance pays off at Garden City school
GARDEN CITY — Going to school really pays off here.
Students who attend classes this week at Garden City High School could be rewarded with $100 prizes. And that's just the start of a new incentive program started by administrators to keep youngsters in school.
And at the end of the academic year, the winner of a new car will be drawn from the names of students with perfect attendance in any month.
"We're trying to increase attendance and lower the dropout rate," said principal Kevin Burr. "We're trying to make sure kids are here."
The money for the prizes will come from the proceeds of the high school's 10-year contract with PepsiCo Inc. The $2 million contract, of which about $140,000 already has been received, makes Pepsi the sole soft drink available at the high school and stadium.
"We're really giving back money that the kids themselves have spent," said superintendent Milt Pippenger.
Pennsylvania drivers get thrills on the go
DELMONT, Pa. — You want pasties with that?
In a country that offers everything from drive-through burgers to drive-through church services, a strip club near Pittsburgh has something new for those who can't stop in for tap dances — drive-through nudity.
Salem Township on an isolated stretch of U.S. Route 22, about 35 miles east of Pittsburgh.
"When they leave, customers are falling out laughing," said Nick Fratangelo, owner of the Climax Gentleman's Club in
Motorists pull around to a window at the back of the club, show proof they are 18 or older and pay $5 per minute. Then they pull up a few feet to a second window and watch a nude dancer for the amount of time they paid for.
A 26-year-old Climax stripper who would identify herself only by her stage name, Barbie, said most customers paid for two to three minutes, but one man paid $100 for 20 minutes.
"That can be tough," she said.
"After a while, you run out of things to do."
Couple wins Rolls with supermarket hot dogs
PORTLAND, Maine — William Schindler didn't realize it at the time, but the hot dogs he picked up at the supermarket at his wife's behest came with their own Rolls.
A 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, to be precise, with an estimated value of $48,000. The luxury vehicle was featured in the 1960 film, Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Executives of Hebrew National planned to visit the Hannaford supermarket in Falmouth Sept. 14 to present William and Christina Schindler with their new car.
Hebrew National put little prize notifications in 5 million hot dog packages this summer as part of its "Buy the Franks and Win the Rolls" promotion. Only one package had the winning words in it.
"I just wanted something quick for supper that night, hot dogs
Christina Schindler said Hebrew National became her brand of choice several months ago, and she made that clear to her husband to buy that brand.
and I told him to get Hebrew National," she said. "I didn't know anything about the promotion.
"He opened the package, and he just stood there saying, 'no way.'
Teen-agers get eyeful during benefit concert
ALEXANDRIA, La. — Promoters of a benefit concert say they hope a singer's decision to expose himself won't completely overshadow the fact that the show was supposed to help the needy.
"I am sorry that five seconds of a five-hour show has put a dark cloud over future concerts at the amphitheater," said Michelle Smith, a representative for Safehaven Productions.
According to witnesses, Alfred Lambert, the lead singer of the Avoyelles Parish band S.I.T.H., exposed himself to a crowd of teen-agers at the Riverfront Amphitheater in Alexandria on Saturday night. S.I.T.H. is the acronym for "Sick in the Head."
"We were not fully aware that it was a family event," said S.I.T.H. drummer Billy Jeasonne.
The concert was promoted as an event to give teens something positive to do on a Saturday night and to collect food for charity.
Citizens urged to eat overcrowded crawdads
MESA, Ariz. — Crawdads. It's what's for dinner.
Crawdads have outstayed their welcome in the state's lakes and streams. So the Arizona Game and Fish Department wants people to eat them, even offering instructions for how to catch, boil and pinch the mud bugs.
"They've had an easy time for a

lot of years," said Rony Alkens, Arizona Game and Fish representative. "We've had a quite a push trying to let the public know about the, uh, how you do you put it, the culinary potential of crayfish and the art of catching them. They're easy to get at about any lake."
Arizona is the only mainland state with no native species of crawdad a type of crustacean that looks like a minilobster and also is called crayfish or crawfish. Decades ago, state officials intentionally put crayfish in Arizona waters as food for sport fish in lakes.
Since then, their numbers have exploded.

Vandals decapitate Snoopy auction piece
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Good Grief! Vandals cut the head off a Snoopy statue last month, and local business people are asking for its return.
They say the statue, called "Stargazing," cannot be repaired without the head in time for an Oct. 1 auction.
It's part of the summer-long "Peanuts on Parade" tribute to the late Charles Schulz that put 101 5-foot-high, polyurethane Snoopy statues in various locations in St. Paul, the city where the cartoonist grew up.
Jane McClure, spokeswoman for the North End Business Association, said if the head was returned by Saturday, the group would not pursue criminal charges.
The association also is offering a reward of up to $500 for information that leads to the arrest or conviction of the vandals.

Almost Famous almost perfect
Film follows teen-age writer for Rolling Stone
1
Actors Billy Crudup and Patrick Fugit talk about a scene with director Cameron Crowe on the set of Almost Famous. The movie is based off of Crowe's experiences as a journalist for Rolling Stone magazine in the 1970s. Photos courtesy of Dreamworks Pictures
By Brian Bartelt
Kansan movie reviewer
What can be said to convince you to see this movie?
Most reviewers who write about Almost Famous will say "it meanders back to the days when music meant discs of vinyl goodness," or "it takes viewers on a nostalgic trip to the innocence and complexities of being an adolescent in the 70s."
If that's the case, don't read those reviews — just read this. Almost Famous is a great movie — for any generation. And after the summer's weak showing from Hollywood, it's a refreshing reminder that studios can make good films.
However, with a KU freshman class that was born in 1982, statements like those don't carry much weight. They might even turn students away.
What works about Almost Famous? Everything. The story is about William Miller (Patrick Fugit), an intelligent and lucky 15-year-old who gets to tour with a rock band and write about it for Rolling Stone magazine. William is a tenderfoot in every way—he's never left his home, he's never kissed a girl, and he's never gotten intimate with the world of rock 'n' roll. His resulting development as a person and a writer provides a story that is completely involving, entertaining and funny.
The believability and reality of the movie stems from its autobiographical nature.
Writer/director/producer Cameron Crowe, who sports an impressive resume including work on Jerry Maguire, Say Anything and Fast Times at Ridgement High, actually wrote for Rolling Stone as a teen-ager.
His involvement with the subject
adds to the film's likable personality. Look for Oscar nominations for best director and best original screenplay.
The film's cast is possibly it's strongest point. Fugit as William is likable and convincing, bringing humorous subtlety to the role that is indicative of real skill. Frances McDormand, who won the best actress Oscar in 1997 for her role in Fargo, is a likely contender again for her comic portrayal of William's mother. Kate Hudson, in the role of "Band-Aid" Penny Lane, proves that she's more than just the daughter of Goldie Hawn — she's a talented actress too.
Aside from strong individual performances, the real strength of the cast is in their interaction - the ensemble works together with craft and harmony that is rarely seen on film.
Visually, Almost Famous stays within safe, established territory, but is flawless in its execution. The soundtrack is rich, featuring songs
from Led Zeppelin, Elton John and more. Even if you don't like rock 'n' roll, you'll be hard pressed to fuse with the music.
But again, the true strength of the movie's sights and sounds lies in how they combine with all the other filmic elements. The interweaving of the imagery, music, acting and writing, work together to form a delightfully vivid experience.
Almost Famous is possibly the year's best film. It's a shoo-in for a best picture nomination, and, even with an excellent crop of fall films, it's a likely winner.
Go see it.
You'll be glad you did.
Almost Famous opens tomorrow in Lawrence at South Wind 12, 3433 Iowa St.

Radio show offers imaginative product
By Katie Nelson Special to the Kansan
Imagination Workshop, a comedy radio show, will open this year's season with performances at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St.
The 8 p.m. show will be broadcast live on KANU FM 91.5 and on the Web at http://kanu.ukans.edu. It will also be broadcast throughout the country on National Public Radio stations.
Producer/writer Darell Brogdon said Imagination Workshop was a sketch comedy program offering the unique opportunity to see live comedy and be part of a live radio broadcast.
"Think Saturday Night Live when it was funny meets the golden age of radio," Brogdon said. "It is goofy, wacky nonsense turned into humor. It's something you can't really see other places."
The show is typically performed in Liberty Hall but has traveled to Salina, Emporia and Kansas City.
Brogdon said Liberty Hall had a relaxed comedy club atmosphere with the food and drinks.
"It is very conducive for what we are trying to do." Broedon said.
The show recently won a Gold World Medal for Best Writing at the New York Festivals and was named a National Winner for Best Audio Program, Entertainment, in the 2000 Silver Microphone Awards.
Cast member Kip Niven, 1968 KU graduate, recognized the oddity of coming to watch a radio show.
"But it's visually entertaining, with being able to see the sound effects, live music and the actors do voices and impersonations," Niven said.
Comical satire, spoofs and takeoff pieces will include topics such as the presidential election, summer Olympics, a soap opera entitled "Incompetents' Hospital," a celebrity "Survivor," a comic book spoof "The Legion of Stupid Heroes" and "Buck Naked Frontier Scout."
"We make fun of all of the national figures," said cast member Rick Tamblyn. "We spare no one."
Tamblyn is a 1979 graduate of the University of Kansas who went into theater after majoring in business. He has a morning show on 101 The Fox. He also works on commercials, industrial films and a weekly game show for the Missouri State Lottery. He has been with the Imagination Workshop for 15 years.
"I love doing it. It really is a labor of love. It is much more like playing than working." he said.
First developed in 1985 by Brogdon, Imagination Workshop is written and produced in Lawrence five times a year. The show has a cast of eight actors, a sound effects person, a musician, a crew of three and the producer.
"It's a tight group," Brogdon said. "Being together for so long is helpful when it comes to knowing the capabilities of the actors regarding voices, impersonations and creating characters."
Brogdon does most of the writing, but several cast members and freelancers contribute material.
"When I was at KU I was always on the look out for a cheap date." Niven said. "This is a great idea. You can drink beer, watch the show, have a grand time and still have, time to go to the big party afterwards."

Plays will showcase weaknesses of men
Special to the Kansan
Bv Katie Nelson
English Alternative Theatre will present two one-act plays written by University of Kansas students Sept. 22-24 at the Lawrence Arts Theater.
Arts Calendar
The plays, "Bunnies" by Michael O'Brien, Winnetka, Ill., senior and "The Man Play" by Matthew Gaus, Lawrence senior, are comedies that concentrate on the weaknesses of men.
"Bunnies" is a farce based on the life of Hugh Hefner and his rise to fame with Playboy magazine.
O'Brien, an English major, said the idea to present the play took off after he received a good response to it from friends and teachers. "Bunnies" is his first attempt at play writing.
"The Man Play," although a comedy, has a more serious theme. Written by
A
I am a teacher. I can help you learn.
O'Brien
Gaus, it centers on Tom, a 20-something bachelor who is fed up with the tribulations of dating. Tom then turns to "the man," a being who lives in his couch and enlightens Tom with a code of ethics emphasizing the unimportance of women in a true man's life.
"It came out of a conversation with a friend and turned into a play about an embodiment of all that is manly." Gaus said.
Gaus
his other scripts was selected for a staged reading at Smith Hall.
"Eventually, I would like to move to California and try to write screenplays and TV creative writing," he said.

"It is a timely topic living in a post-feminist society, where issues like these get pushed under the rug except for in academic circles," he said. "This is basically wondering where there is a place for masculinity in the world. The play takes a position in the middle, but in a sense, it is a battle of the sexes."
The scripts were selected by Paul Lim, associate professor of English and theater producer, from plays written by his English 554 classes. He chose the two plays based on compatibility, technical simplicity and humor.
"EAT has a reputation for serious drama, and that doesn't seem fair to students who create comedy," he said.
The alternative theater has been around for 11 years.

Lim said its primary mission was to produce original scripts by students and sometimes plays that were being taught in class.

Web sites give hours of fun
By Chris Hopkins Kansan online editor
We're heading into one of the slowest parts of the school year — no midterms for a while, but everything's still just warming up.
The Internet, like other forms of media before it, makes for great escapism when you're bored out of your skull. And some of the best sites for spending mind-numbing, pointless hours are referred to by Yahoo as "Web Installations." In essence, they're big, out-of-control art projects that fling you around randomly from one pretty page to another. Here are some of the ones that mesmerized me:
Chris Hopkins web editor webbedior@kanan.com
www.superbad.com
This is a fun little site with some nice pictures and interactivity that you can get lost in for hours on end. One highlight: a story about two boys playing with chemicals in a garage that ends when their dad pokes his head in and finds one of them chewing on tin foil. Oh sure, like that's never happened to you.
www.absurd.org
A site based on JavaScript which means
it's a bit more accessible, if less high-powered, than some of these other sites. It's got some fun interactive sections, including a mesmerizing section of mouse-controlled visuals. There's also a version of the arcade classic "worms" game. It starts with a white screen with a "Core meltdown" countdown then explodes into a series of opening and closing windows. Do not adjust your screen — they control what you see and hear.
adaweb.walkerart.com
One of several sites that are directories of installations others have done. Unlike some of the other directories, this one actually mixes and links them all together into a psuedo-cohesive whole. The Wonderland Products portion of the site is based on the layout of a house and is probably the pinkest site I've ever seen.
www.potatoland.org
This site is similar to Ask Jesus or any of the various Web page translation sites. It has several different systems that you feed URLs into, and then it takes the page and "shreds" it, spraying the HTML code and images across the screen. It's sort of like gawking at a really bad car wreck. You can also add your own text to a "landfill" of unwanted words, where it will be mixed with the rest to compost. Another program will yank images and text from a variety of sites and shred them all together.
These all are fun sites to blow an hour on and plenty of others like them, but try to watch the clock — you may forget to sleep.

What's missing from the fall schedule is a reality series such as Survivor. The absence will be short-lived — Survivor II is coming to CBS in January, and other networks are furiously developing their own hoped-for reality hits.
Also largely unseen: diversity. Despite intense pressure by the NAACP and other civil rights groups to make TV more inclusive, only a few new series have expanded beyond white leads with a smattering of minority supporting players.
Despite TV delays fall season's series may be worth wait
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Enough reality. First the Olympics shoved the 2000-01 television season back two weeks, then the presidential debate tango played further havoc with series premieres.
Now, finally, the moment of truth is at hand: Thirty freshman comedies and dramas are about to crowd your television set, clamoring for attention and approval.
Analysts are upbeat that some shows are going to deliver the goods.
Aaron Spelling's *Titans*, which several analysts picked as a potential winner for NBC, could make a splash because there's nothing like it on TV at the moment.
Was it worth the wait? If the famous names involved in a number of series mean anything — and in some cases, they do — the answer is yes.
Success, however, doesn't always equal quality. A bland comedy such as CBS' Yes, *Dear* might have a shot at survival because it fills a scheduling niche, not because of any intrinsic excellence.
Among the potential winners: Geena Davis; Boston Public; DAG, with Burke; and the sitcoms Cursed and Yes Dear.
"We're seeing a lot more promise this year," said Roy Rothstein, vice president and director of national broadcast research for Zenith Media Services Inc. in New York "About five new shows look like successes."
Movie stars Bette Midler, Geena Davis and Gabriel Byrne are starring in custom-tailored sitcoms. TV veterans John Goodman, Craig T. Nelson, Delta Burke and Christine Baranski are to fold.

Roommate SURVIVAL Tips
College might be your first chance to live with someone else, or maybe you've been sharing a room all your life. Either way, there are compromises that must be made when you have to share space with a stranger. Here are some things to keep in mind to make the year go smoothly:
It's true. Pads feel so much like diapers.
JUST JUST JUST
With Playtex Gentle Glide all you feel is comfortable.
1.
---
Playtex
DIODORANT
Gentle Glide
Yes, even the thinnest pads can give you this weird, uncomfortable feeling, like you're wearing a diaper. Who needs protection like that? Playtex Gentle Glide tampons give you a more comfortable way to deal with your period They have a unique design that adjusts to comfort fit. So whatever you do the only thing you feel is totally comfortable!
So comfortable you can't even feel them?

POLITICAL DISCLAIMER
The **most important** thing to keep in mind is this: To have a good roommate.
<u>you</u> must *be* a good roommate.
Be respectful of one another's schedules. If you don't like her friends' post-midnight visits, chances are she doesn't like you turning on the TV at 6 a.m.
Decide upfront how you will split up bills and stick to it. Money issues can cause arguments,make living together stressful,and ruin even the best friendships.
If possible, get separate phone lines. Then you won't worry about getting your messages, and she won't mind when you tie up the phone all night.
Even if your roommate always lets you borrow her CDs, it never hurts to say thank you.Also, just because she lets you borrow her CDs doesn't mean that her favorite sweater, last cookie, or anything else is also fair game. Always remember to ask before you borrow.
Some Roommates Share the Oddest Things!
Although no one can explain why, it is true that women who live together often have menstrual cycles that coincide. So make sure you have plenty of Playtex tampons on hand to share with your roommate. That way, if your periods do coincide, you'll both be really comfortable - and easier to get along with.
Have fun together. Encourage each other to get out and explore your surroundings. Go for a walk, study in a local park, or catch a concert or museum exhibit. Take pictures of your adventures - because college only happens once!
Realize that most disagreements, whether they are about phone time, borrowing clothes, or late night visitors, really come down to respect. Respect each other's space privacy, and beliefs, and you'll be ok.
Finally, remember that the school assigns you someone to live with, not someone to be best friends with. If you get to be good friends, great! But if you don't, that's ok. You have to share a room, not a life.

So comfortable you can't even feel them.®

Global issues not diluted in Water
Voted #1 by Students 622 W. 12 $ ^{th} $ St. ·749-3900
By Michael Newman Kansan book critic
The inspiration for the 1974 film Chinatown was the power, intrigue and incest stemming from Los Angeles and its interminable quest to water the millions and millionaires that flock to its concrete sprawl.
But as precocious as Chinatown may have been in its view of water imperialism, its account of Los Angeles' ruthless takeover of the Owens Valley is only one episode in an issue that may be shaping this century's world order, as Marq de Villier's new book, Water: The Fate of Our Most Precious Resource, points out.
Ismail Serageldin, the World Bank's vice president for environmental affairs and chairman of the World Water Commission, has flatly said, "The wars of the 21st century will be fought over water."
Secretary General Boutros-
Boutros Ghall and the late King
Hussein of Jordan.
Even in the United States, states sanctioned guns have been leveled rather than water. In 1944, former governor of Arizona Benjamin Mouer dispatched the Arizona National Guard to the construction site of the Parker Dam to stop "California's theft of Arizona's water."
Twenty-three years later and half a world away, Israel gave early warning of the 1968 War by bombing unfinished waterworks in Syria that were deemed a threat to Israeli national security. Farther east, China struggles to complete the Three Gorges Dam, which it hopes will relieve its water shortages in the north and its flood problems in the south.
Whatever the hopes, the stakes are high, as Lester Brown points out in Who Will Feed China. Unless China can find a way to water the increasing agricultural needs of an expanding population, not the rest of the world's agricultural surpluses combined
How can a single book relate a worldwide problem without resorting to the monotony of a never-ending dirge? How can a western journalist spin the water issue fairly for both his watergreedy developed country and the water-needy developing nations? How can a political animal weave an objective path through the transnational water disputes that include nations of all ideologies and creeds?
will feed China. The itany continue, which is exactly the problem that de Villiers faces in his book.
De Villiers somehow manages, but he falters at times. In the first half of the book, his generally evocative prose makes up for a small propensity to lapse into the same "... callous disregard for anything but narrow-focused abstract principle" for which he faults the state planners of the former U.S.R.S.
But later in the book, he expands his focus as he finds and relates the real meaning of his book. This meaning is most clearly seen when he reviews the
hopeful politics surrounding the Danube River, and it becomes explicit when he quotes Bertram Mueller, a hydrologist for the International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine as saying "We mustn't ever forget that political will, in the service of an informed and aroused citizenry, can still move the world. Even now, facing ecological catastrophe, we must remember that."
With quotations such as this, de Villiers informs and arouses. He makes the reader remember.
Except for some circuitous beginnings and a few common sense errors in his own scientific musings, de Villiers has written a book that explains water in a global sense.
He provides a broader view of water issues than previous books have, and he outlines possible solutions in a way that inspires hope but still fosters awareness and vigilance.

HOUSE OF LARGE SIZES
where our sounding grounds
House of Large Sizes Idiots Out Wanderina Around
Listening to *Idiots Out Wandering Around* is like hearing snatches of music like walking, around aimlessly. And the album sounds like the title in the most positive sense of the phrase.
Idiots Out Wandering Around is a collection of 22 songs and wannabe songs recorded live from the band's various shows around the Midwest.
The band's lyrics are worth the effort to listen. With songs about Mata Hari ("Glass Cockpit") and a pun on independence/dependance ("Green Lighting"), the band draws from the unusual for its subject matter. Most of the tracks, such as "Mean and Hateful," aren't much more than a chorus, but what's there is fun.
The band has a lot of energy. With just guitar, bass, drums and vocals, it manages to have depth and power. The music isn't incredibly memorable, but it is a good time. House of Large Sizes — named after a clothing-store chain — will be performing tonight at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Don't miss what promises to be a great show. This is a band with a future.

THE HAWZING CIRCS
The Amazing Crowns Royal
The Amazing Crowns' new album *Royal* on Time Bomb Records has loads of enthusiasm and gumption. Unfortunately, they seem to have forgotten about originality and integrity
somewhere along the way.
The group sounds like it got lost back in the '80s, somewhere between The Clash and The Stray Cats. Its songs are too naive and simplistic to attribute much influence to The Clash. And although the band affects the same aesthetic as the Stray Cats, its hooks couldn't catch a grouper in a goldfish bowl, instead of carving its own niche in the still relatively hospitable alternative scene, the Amazing Crowns rely too much on older musical formulas that have outlived their usefulness.
Sure, they've got the requisite grease in their hair and an upright string bass, but the latter's inclusion appears more as a token response to the neo-rockabilly scene that they're trying so hard to fit into. The upright bass can be a real asset for some groups, such as Soul Coughing, but its unique sound becomes lost in the musical confusion of the Amazing Crowns. One bright spot is the nifty guitar work of J.D. Burgess, but it's simply not enough.
In all fairness, since the wild popularity of the movie Swingers, it's easy to see why this group became excited at the prospect of its involvement in a full-blow revival of the jump-swing/country-western scene. But retro movements always have cast a discerning eye on the modern-day hacks that dare lay claim to a particular musical trend. The Not-So-Amazing Crowns don't make the cut, and their new album is really just a Royal pain.

Various Artists - New Coat of Paint
New Coat of Paint pays tribute to idiosyncratic singer-songwriter Tom Waitis, best known for writing songs such as "Jersey Girl" (covered by Bruce Springsteen) and "Downtown Train" (covered by Rod Stewart). These popular exceptions aside, Waits' output hasn't been visited by many other singers. Waits is a gravely voiced eccentric, and his alternately whacked and romantic compositions combine into a bizarre whole.
New Coat of Paint attempts to take Waits' songs out of the context of his persona — a formidable task — giving them to diverse performers, old-timer screaming Jay Hawkins (famous for "I Put a Spell on You") starts off the disk, and by the time it's finished, Andre Williams, Botanica and Niko Case have done their best to put new spins on Waits' tunes of creaky melancholy.
That the album is only fitfully successful is no surprise. Wait's hobo character defines the songs he writes, and separating the two is like making Luciano Pavarotti sing the greatest hits of AC/DC.
What is pleasant to find, though, is that a select few of the songs are delightful on their own twisted terms. Lee Rocker and Floyd Dixon (covering "New Coat of Paint" and "Blue Skies" respectively) stick closely to Waits' craggy vocal delivery and uncover compelling tunes. Lyda Lunch and Nils Cline run in a salty, seductive version of "Heartattack and Vine" — turning a salon song into pure cabaret.
While the obvious intent of the album is to introduce unfamiliar listeners to Waits' work, novices would be better off buying Waits' own *Small Change* (the 1976 record that solidified his lounge-
lizard character) or last year's *Mule Variations.*
There's really no substitute for the real thing

The Band — The Band
This release of the 1970 album is fitted with the extra fixings (digital remastering, bonus tracks) collectors have come to expect from such releases. But the most important part of this album's new form is that it's out at all.
The Band is a landmark album, notable because it occupies a place all its own in rock music. None of the Band's other albums sounded like this, and none of the music from 1970 sounded like this. The Band creates a world out of time, an odd conglomeration of main songwriter Robbie Robertson's Canadian childhood with southern motifs and a folkish sensibility.
"The Night They Drrove Old Dixie Down," "King Harvest" and "Across the Great Divide" all are catchy, multi-layered compositions that fuse singing, playing and writing into a spontaneous-sounding whole.
Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel are an impeccable vocal trio. Their widely differing yet complimentary voices play off each other on each song. Helm infuses "The Night they drove Old Dixie Down" with southern-gospel fervor, and Manuel's falsetto on "Whispering Pines" is spine-tinglingly beautiful.
Anchoring the whole affair are organist Garth Hudson and guitarist and songwriter Robertson — whose spare guitar licks add just the right amount of crunch to rockers such as "Look out Cleveland."
The instrumentation, chock-full of acoustic guitars, mandolins, accordions and creaky horn sections, conjures up an America of long ago — one that is probably more a fictional creation of this record than an actual time or place. But the creation itself is compelling and lovely.
In its own way, The Band is full of perfect music, an album that fulfills its artistic agenda on one hand and offers purely pleasurable listening on the other. It has melodic hooks, but also unique lyrical and performance touches that could be born from no other grouping of musicians. Those who have never heard The Band, or only vaguely know the group, should buy this CD.
Go out, buy it. You won't regret it.

pitch after
deviant
A lack of fresh approaches is good reason for hard rock lovers to lament the genre's state. Two prime examples of this are Pitchshifter and Hed P.E.
Pitchshifter - Deviant Hed P.E. - Broke
Pitchshifter, though you've probably never heard of the band, has been around for eight years. Deviant, the band's fourth album, is another in a line of releases that attempts to fuse heavy industrial rock with lyrics of protest. Contrary to the album's title, there really is little
Contrary to the album's title, there really is little new musical territory explored on this album. While tracks such as the album opening "Condescension"
intelligently weave heavy melodies with thoughtful lyrics, the remainder of the album mostly is devoid of interest — not to mention that it's driven heavily by a hollow-sounding drum machine.
Hed P.E. E.: Call them a wolf in KoRn's clothing. The band sounds much like the other hard rock/rap groups exploding onto the market. Fortunately, instead of using the tired formula of seriously detuned guitars and snappy snare drums on every song from it's latest album, Broke, the band manages to vary its style.
Hardcore industrial metal, admittedly, is difficult to revitalize, and Pitchshifter adds little to the genre. On the other hand, with contributions such as Hed P.E.'s, the rock/rap flood-gates opened by KoRn and Limp Bizik, look to remain open for a while.
"Bardert, " which is receiving a smattering of radio airtime, features bluesy verses permeated with a crunching chorus. Other tracks such as "Stevie" and "Jesus (of Nazareth)" pay sonic tribute to rock/rap's forefathers, including the Beastie Boys and Bad Brains.

KU film students cook up music on Web site show

Nothing goes with peanut butter and jelly like great live music.
And there are plenty of easy college recipes and a variety of musical acts on "Spatula City,"a series of short films produced by two University of Kansas film students.
An episode featuring the group Shaking Tree debuted this week on the Web site www.nibblebox.com.
Matt Blume, Hays sophomore, and Michael Obrten, Winnetka, Ill., junior, created "Spatula City," this summer. It looks like MTV-meets>The Food Network.
Blume, who is studying abroad in Scotland this semester, and Obrien co-produced and co-hosted the show. In the newly released episode, the two share their recipes for peanut butter and jelly, pancakes and enjoy a performance by the band in Blume's kitchen.
Nibblebox supplies college film students across the country with equipment and a professional mentor to consult on their productions.
"Cooking is far from being the focus," said Blume via e-mail "It is more of a come-and-sit-around-and-eat and talk music, then play type-ofthing."
The company also put Blume and Obrien in contact with Tamra Davis, director of "Billy Madison." "Half-Baked" and "CB4." Davis served as a mentor for the show, providing ideas and critiquing

each of Spain City's 11 episodes.
"She'd call us and be like 'Cook this' or 'This would be cool', and then after she saw it she'd call and tell us if she liked it." Oblren said.
Nibblebox loaned Blume and Obrien equipment for the project. The pair edited the first few episodes themselves. Nibblebox took on the editing duties when the deadlines they set for production left the "Spatula City" crew no time to do it themselves.
"They kind of threw us into the fire and we like that. We appreciated that." Orbien said.
Nibblebox owns distribution rights to the show and markets it to networks and producers. They receive a commission if the show is picked up, Obrien said.
But Niblebox also paid Blume, Obrien and other KU students who helped produce the show.
Robert Sokol, Leawood graduate student, and John Ahearn, Prairie Village graduate student, co-directed the show. Matt Cassity, Wamego junior, did opening text and graphics.
The show's list of musical guests included The Draft, Holstein, Ralph Perta Band, Myra Wray, Armada Trio, Celia, DVS Mindz, Majestics Rhythm Revue, Client K Band, B.O.M.B. The One Man Band and MiS.

Fire burns local duplex
The occupants, Adam Hagemann, Brett Terrin and Jason Andrews, were home but were not injured, said Dan Morrow, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical battalion chief.
Half of a duplex that a University of Kansas student shares with two other Lawrence residents caught on fire about 11 a.m. yesterday at 2508 Crestline Circle.
Morrow said the cause of the fire is still being investigated. .
Three engines, two ambulances and a ladder company responded to the fire, which took 15 minutes.
Damage was confined to the garage, where a sport-utility vehicle was parked, but there was smoke damage throughout the house, he said.
for firefighters to bring under control, Morrow said.
"The garage and everything in it was a total loss." Morrow said.
Damage estimates were unavailable yesterday.

One arrested, 12 others receive safety violations
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Like an atom bomb, the Critical Mass bike ride exploded on Lawrence last night.
What started as a peaceful ride to raise awareness of bike transportation ended with 12 bicyclists being issued traffic-safety violations, one person forcibly arrested for attempting to steal an officer's radio and one person given notice to appear in court for disorderly conduct, said Sgt. Paul Fellers of the Lawrence Police Department.
About 125 people participated in the ride, which was modeled after other critical mass rides across the country.
The ride began with bicyclists heading north on Massachusetts Street. At times, riders surged into both lanes, blocking southbound traffic. The group turned west on Sixth Street, and some riders moved into the oncoming lanes of traffic, which had slowed to a crawl and moved to the side of the road.
Many bicyclists arrived at South Park for the 6 p.m. ride dressed in capes, helmets, anarchy symbols or flags with skull and crossbones.
oncoming traffic lanes, sounded sirens and ordered the riders to the right. All riders moved right, but later some crossed the center line and were stopped by police.
Michael Newman, Ponca City, Okla., senior, was charged with being left of the road's center.
Trailing police cars surged into
"The left-of-center charge was especially ironic and perhaps telling because given the fact that we weren't putting ourselves in danger or anyone else in danger," Newman said. "I think they were ticketing our viewpoint."
As the ride turned north on Iowa Street, other bikers were stopped for left-of-center violations and running red lights as they attempted to stay with the pack of riders.
Near the corner of Iowa Street and University Drive, Michael Hedstrom, 17, a Lawrence High student, was knocked to the ground by police. He received a bruise on his left temple and officers attempted
to handcuff him.
A group of bicyclists formed a circle around the officers, yelling and spitting at them, and then a man grabbed an officer's radio and ran. Two officers chased and tackled the man, handcuffed him and took him to the police station.
Though Hedstrom was given a citation for being left of the center line, he denied the charge.
"I don't know; I guess I was just too close to them," he said. "I'm really not sure."
The ride ended at about 7:15 p.m. on the lawn east of the Douglas County Courthouse.
Llowell Fletcher, Lawrence resident, helped organize the ride and said he hoped it would raise awareness of bike issues and other forms of sustainable transportation such as buses or trains.
"The community has tried real hard to get bike lanes, but the city is trying to jerk us around," he said. "They're

ignoring where we need bike lanes."
Aaron Bartlett, Lawrence transportation planner and bicycle coordinator, said the city had added some bike lanes within the past few years on streets such as Louisiana Street and Naismith Drive, and was looking to retrofit streets such as 19th Street. He said the best way for bicyclists to improve conditions was to work within the system.
"If they're blocking traffic, critical mass demonstrations can have a more negative impact," Bartlett said.

Pageant contestants share similar experiences
Bv Meahan Bainum
Kansan staff writer
Lindsey Mackey didn't mean to win the Miss Teen Kansai pageant — it just happened.
Mackey, Olathe freshman, won the title Sept. 9 in Maize. Unlike most of the participants, Mackey had never competed in a pageant before.
"It was a fluke," she said. "I'm not the typical pageant girl. It's really out of the ordinary that I would do something like this."
Unlike Mackey, Lindsay Douglas, St. Louis senior, has been training for the Miss Missouri
USA pageant for months and said she looked forward to competing in pageants.
Douglas, who has competed in four previous pageants, she did two hours of cardiovascular exercise every day and watched what she ate in preparation for Miss Missouri. She did this, she said, because contestors must be in top condition to win.
"Honestly, to do well, you have to be in really good shame." Donatius said. "It stucks."
Even though Mackey and Douglas have approached appearing in pageants in slightly different ways, the Miss Teen Kansas and hopeful Miss Missouri are strikingly similar. Both girls said they
didn't fit in the stereotypical beauty-queen mold.
"I'm a horrible dancer," Mackey said. "I have no talent. I the most uncoordinated person."
Mackey and Douglas said that they were klutzes and shared a hatred of the opening dance number that many pageants require.
The swimsuit portion of the pageants was another common hatred, especially because Douglas and Mackey said that wearing a swimsuit necessitated using "butt glue" to keep the swimsuits in place.
"It holds your swimming suit over your rear end so it don't ride up on you when you're walking."

Family Day at museum showcases Smithsonian
The Spencer Museum of Art is sponsoring Family Day from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday.
Guests will have an opportunity to participate in gallery activities, design their own silhouettes and view a video about Mark Twain. Visitors will also get to view the opening of "The Guilded Age: Treasures from the Smithsonian American Art Museum," which includes 60 works about 19th-century American society.
Sally Hayden, public relations director of the museum, said Mark Twain coined the phrase "the Gullded Age."
"It was the title of one of his novels, so then it became loosely applied to the time period from the 1870s to World War I," she said. "So we are having an exhibit of art from that same time period from the Smithsonian."
Visitors also are encouraged to view the "Artists in Exile" exhibit, which includes prints and drawings by World War II refugee artists, and "American Indian Traditions Transformed," a pottery show presented in conjunction with the 12th Annual Arts Show.

Conference discusses evolution in schools
A member of the Kansas State Board of Education who supports teaching evolution will sit in on a panel discussion at the state's evolution debate on campus today.
Bill Wagnon, professor of history at Washburn University, supports the teaching of evolution in Kansas" public schools. His address, "The Evolution Controversy in Historical Perspective," is at 2 p.m. at Woodruff
Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The discussion is part of the annual Mid-America Conference on History, which began Wednesday on campus with nearly 150 historians in attendance.
Kansas' evolution debate will take center stage at the conference today.
Ronald Numbers, professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will offer "Creation, Evolution and Intelligent Design: From Scopes to Kansas" at the 12:30 p.m. luncheon, which is open only to students who have preregistered.
Mavin Hunt, program manager for KU Continuing Education, said the discussion will feature opposing viewpoints on teaching evolution in Kansas schools. Students should register through the Continuing Education office at 864-4131 before 11 a.m. The cost for lunch is $15.
The conference is co-sponsored annually by the history departments of Southwest Missouri State University, the University of Arkansas, Oklahoma State University and the KU departments of continuing education and history.
Lecture decries validity of creationist theory
Holes in the argument for creation science will be the focus of a lecture by a visiting professor of physics today.
Victor Stenger, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Hawaii, will present "Intelligent Design: The New Stealth Creationism" at 4 p.m. today at the Jawhawk Room in the Kansas Union.
Stenger argues that scientific foundations for creationism, the belief that life was intelligently created by an all-powerful being, are based on a misunderstanding of the second law of thermodynamics. The law states that the amount of order in the universe always is decreasing.
Some creationists use the law to dismiss the theory of evolution, which calls for increasing order, in favor of creationism, said Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy.
"It's perfectly normal to have islands of increasing order in nature, and he'll have some real concrete examples to show that," said Melott.
The KU Cosmology Group is sponsoring Stenger's visit, along with Students for Science and members of the departments of physics and religious studies. The speech is open and free to the public.
Attempted-arson trial to resume next month
The preliminary hearing for a KU student charged with attempted aggravated arson will continue at 9 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 4.
Alex M. McCrery, former Alpha Tau Omega fraternity member, is accused of pouring gasoline on part of the first floor of the Alpha Tau Omega fratern-
ty house May 12.
Joseph Vanormon, Bloomington, Minn., sophomore and Alpha Tau Omega member, testified he was walking to the restroom when he smelled what he thought was gasoline coming from the first floor.
Vanorum said the carpet was discolored and a liquid was on the tile in the entry.
"Our house is a smoking house, and my first concern was that someone would drop a cigarette on the staircase," he said.
Vanomun said he saw McCrery and Jimmy Lee, a former fraternity member who testified yesterday, in the house earlier that night but never saw McCrery commit any criminal act.
McCryd was not testify during the hearing, Lee testified he was with McCryd the entire night and saw him pour a liquid in the entry of the fraternity house.
"It was nothing we took seriously." Lee testified. "We hadn't talked about it before."
Llee said McCryery jokingly pulled out a lighter, Lee told him, "Let's go," and the two left. He said McCryery had no intention of starting a fire.

Lottery employee released from jail after accusation
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Richard Lee Knowlton, the former employee accused of altering tickets and computer records to steal nearly $63,000 from the Kansas Lottery, has been released from the Shawnee County Jail.
Knowlton, 55, of Topeka, posted bail Wednesday. He had been in jail since his arrest around noon Friday.
Although Knowlton's bail was $70,000, only 10 percent of that had to be paid to secure his release.
Shawnee County District Judge Thomas Conklin had lowered Knowlton's ball from $200,000 to $70,000 but also placed restrictions on his release and ordered a search of his home.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation conducted the search Tuesday, and Dave Schroeder, a senior special agent, gave Conklin a file box Wednesday containing property seized from the home.
Schroeder and Assistant Attorney General Stephen Maxwell met with Conklin, but
none of them would say what was in the box.
The KBI also filed a report about the search of Knowlton's home with Conklin on Wednesday, but that report was sealed by the judge. Conklin has scheduled a hearing on the box's contents for 2 p.m. Monday.
Knowlon faces 268 counts of theft, computer crime and official misconduct, most of them felony charges. Attorney General Carla Stovall's office filed the charges, which say Knowlon altered tickets and computer records so he could claim prizes from retailers 126 times.
The former lottery employee acknowledges he altered a dozen tickets and cashed 11 of them in hopes of showing lottery officials flaws in their security system.
A man at Knowlton's house who would not identify himself said Wednesday that Knowlton did not wish to speak to reporters.
Knowlton was the lottery's information resource manager from 1992 until he resigned in March. He administered the lottery computers that controlled
games involving scratch-off or pull-tab tickets.
Barb Tombs, executive director of the Kansas Sentencing Commission, said Wednesday the state's sentencing guidelines say Knowlton would receive probation rather than prison if convicted. That's because the charges deal with nonviolent crimes, Tombs said.
However, she said a judge could decide to depart from the sentencing guidelines and give Knowlton prison time.
"The only way he would be incarcerated is if a judge seeks to do a dispositional departure," Tombs said.
The lawyers involved in the case have offered differing opinions of the potential sentence for Knowlton.
Maxwell said in court Wednesday that Knowlton could receive as much as 38 months in prison if convicted. Defense attorney William Rork, Topeka, said Monday that the longest prison sentence Knowlton could get would be 14 months.

Locally owned shops use REAL currency to draw student cash
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Money might not grow on trees, but it was free at Wesco Beach yesterday.
Members of the Lawrence Trade Organization gave away $75 worth of the new Lawrence-only currency known as REAL dollars, which stands for Real Economic Alternatives in Lawrence. Currently, 35 businesses accept the currency, which LTO members hope will create a community cash cycle supporting locally-owned businesses.
LaToya Betts, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, received one of the free REAL dollars yesterday and said she thought it was a good idea to support local businesses. It took it with my real cash - I want
"I put it with my real cash — I want to spend it," she said.
Ty Haas, Olathe senior, said that he didn't know much about the currency but that he would use it.
"I think it's a really cool idea, especially to put William Burroughs on the bills," he said. "And you can buy beer with fake dollars."
While most students took the $1 REAL bill and fliers, others turned down the free money, said Talia Morales, LTO member.
"I'm really surprised some people just flat out turned me down — even after I explained it's worth one federal dollar and it's free." Morales said.
Kris Olsen, LTO treasurer, said he hoped the giveaway would raise awareness among students.
"Students are a very powerful force in the Lawrence community, and they can really help out immensely in supporting the local economy, not only by working here but spending their money locally." Olsen said.
Olsen said a federal dollar changes hands four or five times before leaving town, but a REAL dollar will stay in Lawrence indefinitely. He said locally owned shops should be supported because they give Lawrence a unique character.
"Candles at Waxman, beer at Free State and other locally owned shops — you can only find them here in Lawrence, so I think they're really special." Olsen said.
Anyone who wants the local currency can trade federal dollars for REAL money at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., and at the Free State Credit Union, located inside the Community Mercantile Co-op, 901 Mississippi St.
Fifteen thousand $1 Pelathe bills and 10,200 $3 William S. Burroughs bills have been printed, and within two weeks 3,000

Bee hives turn into hornets' nest for museum scientists
By Jennifer Dartt
Special to the Kansan
The live bee tree at the Natural History Museum has caused more headaches than expected.
The swarm of 25,000 bees buzzing around the exhibit is actually the fourth batch to inhabit the tree.
Tom Swearingen, director of exhibits at the museum, described the unexpected hardships that have come with this project.
Although KU bee specialists are recognized worldwide, they have had their work cut out for them.
"We've had nothing but trouble since we put this on," he said.
Scientists thought the long, curved tube that connected the hive to the outdoors was making it difficult for the worker bees to clean out the dead bees from the hive, which is essential to the bees' survival. Museum workers shortened and steepened the tube to make the process easier and to make the outdoors more accessible.
Because of the hot, dry weather, there has been a shortage of nectar for the bees to find, so the bees are being fed sugar water as a supplement.
Caretakers also will begin to feed the bees antibiotics when the weather starts to cool off because the bees will be spending more time indoors, making them more susceptible to infection.
Despite these measures, there is still no guarantee that the hive will survive.
Orley "Chip" Taylor, chairman of entomology, said that he had high hopes for this batch but that he knew the outcome could not be predicted.
"We thought all of the other ones were going to be perfect, too," he said.
Varroa mites killed the first batch, Swearingen said. These mites attack the eggs and the larvae and cause new bees to be born weak and deformed and to die quickly. Italian Honeybees, the type of bees in the
exhibit, are especially susceptible to the mites.
After the museum's first batch died of infestation, the hive was emptied and a second batch was put in. The second batch died of a dysentery infection.
A third batch seemed to be strong and healthy. Unfortunately, the batch became so strong and multiplied so rapidly that the bees started swarming. Swarming is a process when the queen bee lays eggs that will become new queen bees. The original queen leaves the hive with a large group of worker bees in search for a new site. That batch eventually died off.
No one can be sure what will happen with this fourth batch. KU scientists are taking every precaution to ensure the bees' health. Taylor sees a promising future for the bees.
"We are very hopeful that this colony will do well," he said. "It seems to be off to a good start."

More students are living in campus housing this fall than last fall, according to the Department of Student Housing.
Pat Kidwell, assignments manager for student housing, said there were about 4,915 people living in University housing this year, up about 320 from last year. University housing includes eight residence halls, 10 scholarship halls and Jawhaker Towers.

Final tailles for housing numbers won't be available until Tuesday, when the University will release the official count of the 20th day, said Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations.
Totals before that day often fluctuate because students move in and out of the residence halls frequently at the beginning of the semester, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
The number of students living in student housing increased for the 2000 fall semester. The Department of Student Housing said about 4,915 students are living in student housing, up about 320 from last year's number of 4,595. The official numbers for 2000 will not be available until Tuesday. Many rooms still remain empty.
Stoner said the number of people in student housing usually depended on the number of students enrolled.
About 3,670 students are in residence halls, though about 65 rooms are empty. Stoner said vacancies were typical early in the semester.

because they get homesick."
If numbers are high, the department adjusts for the incoming students.

"We shorten down the number of single-person rooms if there are more people coming in," he said.
Soon, the department may have to deal with a housing shortage. Stoner said that discussions about whether to renovate Ellsworth Hall were under way.
The hall would have to close if it were renovated, which would impact 525 potential residents.
Both Lewis and Templin halls were small enough to shut down for renovations without having a large impact on the number of rooms available in other halls.
Stoner said it wasn't certain yet that the Ellsworth renovation would be done.
Pageants not all about looks, glamour
Continued from page 1A
Douglas said. "It's a pain to get off. It's usually on there for about a week, so all your clothes stick to you."
Both Douglas and Mackey said they tried to stay far away from the more extreme pageant rituals like taping their breasts, smearing Vaseline on their teeth and getting cosmetic surgery.
Though some of the pageants' contestants do use these devices to make themselves more beautiful, Douglas and Mackey agreed that good looks don't mean an easy win.
Douglas said in today's pageants, a pretty face would not get a contestant far. "Now in pageants they're looking for the all-around woman." she said. "Intelligence, natural beauty, and poise
— someone that can be a new role model. Douglas's friend Sarah Hovel, Prairie Village senior, said that she could see why people had stereotypes about women in pageants but that Douglas was one of the most genuine people she knew.

"I think she would be such a great
representative because she isn't what most people would place as a stereotypical pageant girl', "Hovel said."
Mackey said that beauty pageants weren't all concerned with beauty but
that it was hard to not be thought of as another pretty face. To try and combat stereotypes, Mackey decided that she would not wear her Miss Teen Kansas crown and sash when she gave speeches.
"People knock you down when you have a crown and a sash," she said. "They look at you as a beauty queen instead of respecting what you have to say."
'ine thing about Lindsey is that she's actually modest about it,' Lafond said. 'She's not the type of girl that goes around and flaurs her tiara.'
mackey has a year before she represents Kansas in the Miss Teen USA pageant. Douglas, however, said she was excited about participating in the Miss Missouri pageant this weekend.
"It's been a dream of mine for a long time. This is the one I've always wanted to do," she said. "I'm so excited." — Edited by J. R. Mendozo

Perspective
Gore throws out freedom with attacks
In threatening to impose punitive legislation against the entertainment industry, Vice President Al Gore finally exposed the madness behind the method — the presidency at any cost. Not only did he betray the Democratic Party, which historically has been an ardent protector of free speech, but he also mocked one of the most fundamental aspects of democracy: freedom of speech. Unfortunately, in this age of market-based political campaigns, it is not surprising that a presidential candidate would bastardize the guiding principles of free speech to curry favor with voters, especially image-conscious voters who don't seem to like Al Gore's ties and robotic symmetry.
Gore's statements came on the heels of the Federal Trade Commission report requested by President Clinton after a
White House summit was held last year on media violence and school shootings. The report charges that producers of movies, music, and computer and video games have marketed inappropriate material to young people, violating the spirit of their own ratings system.
Although the FTC didn't make any legislative recommendations to Congress, the report outlined a series of self-regulatory actions for the
PETER KNIGHT
Ben Embry opinion editor opinion@kumanan.com
entertainment industry to take into consideration. In the report, the FTC challenged the entertainment industry to establish or expand codes that prohibit target marketing to children and impose sanctions for violations (such as public stoning or mass browbeatings); increase compliance at the retail level by checking identification (in order to prevent the scourge of violent pop culture from turning supple young children into cult leaders and mass murderers); and, last but not least, increase parental understanding of the ratings and labels system (or, in other words, indoctrinate parents to respect and obey the newly codified standards of good and evil). The report, in a dour, tsk-tsk manner, frames the recommendations as a matter of civic responsibility and political prudence. After all, Hollywood must be held accountable for its reproachable actions.
But in delivering the report,FTC Chairman Robert Pitofsky cautioned against setting up a federal "thought police." Pitofsky also was careful not to blame violent entertainment for the violence in society. After all, attributing causality is an inherently tenuous enterprise.
There is no doubt, however, that the entertainment industry shamelessly exploits children. A recent spread in Advertising Age, the industry's primary trade magazine, shows a grainy picture of an inquisitive preteen girl. "Who Am I?" the copy asks, suggesting the girl's existential coming-of-aage dilemma. But the next page tells us exactly who she is: "I am the Internet generation. I am spending billions each year. I am building brands right now." Then the kicker: "And I am here for you." Even more disturbing is a recent industry report proclaiming children as young as 18 months "psychologically available" for marketing.
Nevertheless, government-imposed sanctions on the entertainment industry would not only be a dangerous proposition with far-reaching implications but also a blatant violation of the First Amendment. Should the government also sanction fashion magazines for setting unrealistic beauty standards in the media that result in eating disorders among young women? Or newspaper stories that continue to reinforce racial stereotypes through unbalanced reporting? Or radio stations that permit talk show hosts to spew out vehemently homophobic rhetoric? All of them can be accessed by children. The fact of the matter is that free speech can be an incredibly hideous animal at times. But expanding federal regulatory power over advertising content is not a reasonable solution.
In other news, Gore and Lieberman were struck by hypocrisy Monday after they raised $4.2 million at a fund-raiser thrown by Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of Miramax, the movie studio that is a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Co. and creator of such films as *Hallowen*: H20, Scream 2 and *Scream 3*. Both candidates are reportedly in stable condition.

Perspective
Libertarian is the best third-party alternative
Recently, there have been several columns in the Kansas expressing the opinion that because neither of the two "main party" candidates were promising, this election was unexciting and basically worthless. My immediate thought was, why settle for one of those two parties? We have more than two.
And then I read another column that mentioned the Green Party and vaguely referred to Pat Buchanan and his faction of the Reform Party. But what about the largest third party in America? What about the Libertarian Party? After all, the Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the United States, with 168 elected office holders — more than all other third parties combined. More than 500 Libertarians are run
104
1000 Libertarians are now inning for office nationwide this year. The Libertarian Party is running candidates in 236 U.S. House seats this year, 18 more than required for a majority, which makes the Libertarian Party the first third party in 80 years to contest a majority of congressional

seats. The Libertarian Party also will become the first third party in more than 100 years to have its presidential ticket on the ballot in every state for three consecutive elections.
Certainly, voting for Harry Browne, the Libertarian Party's presidential candidate, would not be worthless. Although it is unlikely to affect the electoral votes issued by the state of Kansas, as Harry Browne said recently in an interview, every vote for him in this election increases the probability of having a Libertarian president in this decade.
Unlike other third-party candidates, Harry Browne does not champion a "narrow cause." He has more than either of the two main parties have: a complete political philosophy. The Libertarian Party believes in limited government, which means less of the government dictating what you may do. It means less interference with the free market. It means fewer taxes — by spending less, not by deciding to tax a new demographic. Only the Libertarian Party truly supports the freedom and liberty that are the basis of the country. To learn about what Harry Browne stands for, visit www.harrybrowne.org.
Vote for someone with real values and beliefs. Vote to make a difference. Vote for the Libertarian Party.

Extra fees should be disclosed
Some classes require additional course fees that add up for students.
A growing problem at the University of Kansas is the extra fees that are added to many classes. Students usually have to pay these fees, which are required for participation in class activities, during the first weeks of class.
The University should publish the extra fees added to classes in the timetable and in the course catalog, so students are aware of this before they enroll.
Many KU students live on a strict budget to have enough money to pay for classes, books, rent and food. After paying tuition, students show up the first day and find that they are being asked for even more money by the department in order to take the class.
Why are these extra fees not paid for out of the tuition money that we pay for the class? Unfortunately for students, there seems to be no answer to this question.
Lab fees are common in the biological and physical sciences. Fees in the performing arts department can reach monstrous proportions when students are required to attend events at the Lied Center that can cost as much as $30 per show. Film students also are responsible for purchasing a film pass that costs about $25.
This is a lot of extra money, and these events or fees are required parts of the classes, so there is no way around it.
Although these extra fees may be going to improve the students' educational experience and are needed because the departments are underfunded, students should be aware of them before going to class on the first day. If students end up in classes that require unexpected fees, they may not be able to afford them. By the time the students find this out, they have to try to switch to different classes.
This problem could be easily solved if the University would simply disclose the fact that there are extra fees needed for classes in the timetable and course catalog. That way, students can be aware of this and plan accordingly.

Indigenous issues focus of journal
Bv Leita Schultes
By Leila Schutes
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The voices of indigenous people need to be heard, but until last week, few publications provided opportunity to discuss indigenous issues, said Donald Fixico, director of the indigenous nations studies program at the University of Kansas.
Last week brought the debut of the Indigenous Nations Studies Journal, a KU publication edited by Fixico.
"We're trying to present an academic voice," he said.
Fixico said the journal's academic approach made it unique. Worldwide, four or five other publications deal with indigenous issues, Fixico said, but they are less scholarly and more like magazines.
The University's indigenous nations studies graduate program is only in its second year. There are 112 indigenous studies programs in the United States and Canada, but 90 percent are for undergraduates. Having the journal moves KU beyond many other programs, Fixico said.
The journal, which will be published semiannually, is peer-edited. Flixo said its interdisciplinary nature also was important. Law, history and culture must all be examined when looking at indigenous issues, he said.
Anne Calhoon, a member of the Cherokee Nation and assistant professor of education, said the journal was intended to be a forum for indigenous people from the Western Hemisphere.
"Our hope is that what we'll do is enlighten the mainstream in terms of who we are." she said.
Fixico said reactions to the journal so far had been positive. Free copies were distributed at last weekend's Native-American leadership conference, he said, but there weren't enough for everyone.
Subscriptions to the journal are $24 and can be ordered at the Indigenous Nations Studies office at 215 Fraser Hall or by calling 864-2660.

Injury leaves man at miracle's mercy

It was 3 a.m. when a beat-up truck drove alone along a dark country road outside Dodge City—so no one heard the gun shot.
On Oct. 5, 1999, Scott Dick rode home with his friend from an uneventful night on the town. Dick, an avid hunter and target range shooter, had an extensive gun collection that he loved to show to his friends. That night was no exception.
But what happened next Dick doesn't remember — and some cannot forget.
Dick, Lawrence resident, was showing his friend his new gun, a 9 mm pistol, when it accidentally went off.
The bullet ripped through his
Dick lived to tell of the experience that has changed the way he sees life.
stomach, kidney, gall bladder,
liver, pancreas, aorta and large
and small intestines.
"When you're near death it makes you think differently about life and how important it really is." he said.
Dick's mother, Donna, said she prayed constantly and that she thought God had heard her prayers and saved her son.
Dick's near-death experience left his friends and family wondering if miracles really do happen.
After Dick's accident, he went into a coma.
"He lost so much weight that he was nothing but skin and bones," his mother said. "It scared me to death. I couldn't even look at him."
Dick was unconscious for days
and then I show a bracelet.
But when his brother, Sean, flew in from Georgia to see Dick in the hospital, he woke up.
"It was like a miracle," his mother said. "He opened his eyes."
and didn't show brain activity.
Stephen Smith, Dick's physician in Wichita, said he had never witnessed a miracle and that he was not sure if Dick had either. But he thinks Dick was lucky.
"We didn't irrigate with holy water," Smith said sarcastically. "But he did recover rapidly from trauma. He beat the odds, no question."
Tim Daaleman, assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said it was important to look at patients' experiences during their illnesses when talking about miracles.
"How patients understand illness
can be different from doctors," he said. "I don't deny either, but who's to say who's right or wrong?"
"Sometimes miracles happen to people who don't believe," he said.
Lackrone said he didn't think a person needed to be religious to receive a miracle.
Marshall Lackrone, senior pastor at Calvary Temple Assembly of God Church, said he thought that miracles could happen and that Dick probably was an example of one — even though Dick said he wasn't very religious.
Even though Dick doubts he was saved by a miracle, he thinks something extraordinary occurred when he was in the hospital.
"I have no idea what happened in that hospital, but it was something," he said.

Library workshops open to the public
Rv Katie Teske
Special to the Kansan
Students who would like to know what to do with their old high school memorabilia, how to preserve their stamp collection or how to find good travel sites on the Web can find out in a new workshop series this fall.
The series, "Saturday Mornings at the Library." is sponsored by the University of Kansas Libraries. Mary Rosenbloom, external relations librarian, said the workshops highlighted the resources of KU libraries.
"The staff has a lot of expertise, and we wante to share that staff experience with the community," Rosenbloom said of the volunteer workshop staff.
Several years ago, Bill Crowe, former dean of the libraries and a librarian at the Spencer Research Library, asked some librarians to do something similar to the workshops. Rosenbloom said she and the librarians enjoyed
it, but it was treated as a one-shot deal.
As external relations librarian, Rosenbloom tried to think of ways to be more accessible to the public. She contacted the library staff to find topics they might be interested in doing, and the workshops were the result. The fall series, which is free and open to the public, consists of four workshops.
Rosenbloom said she hoped 10 to 15 people would attend each workshop. However, she said this first set was to see how it worked.
"We'll see how people respond," she said.
Four more workshops are planned for the spring. Tentative subjects are researching houses and preserving old photographs.
Registration is not required, but is encouraged. For more information, contact Mary Rosenbloom at 864-8921 or by e-mail to mrosenbl@ukans.edu.
Series to focus on resources, research
Special to the Kansan
The computer illiterate may have a new ray of hope.
By Katie Teske
The KU Libraries are offering the Fall 2000 Workshop Series, designed to introduce students, faculty and staff to the library and available resources.
Members of the KU community can learn about Spencer Research Library, how to use the libraries' networked databases, how to find and retrieve full-text articles online, and how to find basic information on the Internet. Other workshops explore the PubMed database and help participants find and use government statistics on the Internet.
The series, which began in 1993 and was intended to benefit faculty members, now is available to the entire KU community.
"Each semester is different
because we always offer new workshops," said Cindy Pierard, instruction coordinator for the libraries.
Pierard said the workshop "Finding Information on the World Wide Web" would offer an advanced course this year to expand upon the basic course previously offered. The basic course will continue to be offered as well.
Some other new workshops are "Native-American Resources" and "Exploring Africa and the African Diaspora in Spencer Research Library." A repeat workshop is "Government Statistics on the Internet: Finding Them ... Using Them." Pierard said this workshop always seemed to attract interest because the information was useful to so many researchers.
Joshua Nichols, library assistant and Minneapolis, Kan., student, attended the government statistics workshop.
"I wanted to find out how to access government policy on environmental issues," he said. "I think more people should take advantage of it. It's really useful, especially with research."
Pierard said that graduate students were the majority of the attendees at the workshops, followed by faculty and staff.
Schedule of workshops:
Although several of the workshops have been completed, some, such as "The Theatrical Web" and "Humanities & Social Sciences," run into early October.
For more information on the Fall 2000 Workshop Series or to enroll, call 684-8998 or visit www2.lib.ukans.edu/~instruction. For a list of the workshops available and their dates, times and locations, go to www.ukans.edu.

Report says racism not eliminated
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The laws of the United States meet the requirements of an international treaty eliminating racism, but American society itself has not achieved that goal, according to a new federal report.
In its first analysis of U.S. compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the U.S. government admitted that racism is still a problem despite an ongoing "vigorous" debate about it and efforts during the past 30 years to eliminate it through laws.
Researchers cited several incidents during the past decade that have served as sharp reminders of the need to eliminate racism: the 1991 police beating of African-American motorist Rodney King, the shooting death of African immigrant Amadou Diallo by police in New York, the burning of synagogues, mosques and African-American churches, the dragging death of James Byrd Jr. in Texas, and the shootings at a Jewish cultural center in Los Angeles.
A decided shift in the racial and ethnic composition of the country also is an exacerbating factor, the report said. While whites are a majority of Americans — 196.1 million — they are a shrinking percentage of the population, falling from 75.7 percent in 1991 to 71.9 percent today.
During the same period, the country's Asian population increased by 46 percent, to 10.9 million; the Hispanic population increased by 40 percent, to 31.4 million; Native Americans increased by 16 percent to 2.4 million and the number of African Americans rose by 14 percent, to 34.9 million.
However, in a separate report, civil rights and social advocacy groups said the United States is out of compliance with the U.N. treaty in certain areas, such as affirm-
active action, racial profiling by police and administration of the death penalty. They urged the United Nations to consider American-style racism a human rights problem.
The State Department report stopped short of declaring racism in the United States a human rights concern, saving the problem is not unique to the United States.
The report to the United Nations was compiled by the State Department, with assistance from other federal agencies. The United States ratified the discrimination treaty in October 1994, and was originally to have delivered Thursday's report in 1995.
The report did not address the delay in delivering the report, but said the federal government had been engaged in a major review of racial issues since June 1997, when President Clinton launched his national dialogue on race. Clinton promised to write his own report on racial issues two years ago, but it has not materialized.
"As a vibrant, multicultural democracy, the United States—at all levels of government and civil society—continually re-examines and re-evaluates its successes and failures, having the elimination of racism and racial discrimination as its ultimate goal," the report said. "The United States looks forward to discussing its experiences and this report with the committee."
State Department researchers said racist practices today are "more subtle and elusive" than those at the height of the civil rights movement, and threaten to undermine the "significant progress" made in race relations since the 1960s.
"Therefore, even though U.S. law is in conformity with the obligations assumed by the United States under the treaty, American society has not yet fully achieved the convention's goals," the report said. "Additional steps must be taken to promote the important principles embodied in its text."
CAUSES OF THE ENDURANCE OF RACISM:
Persistent attitudes of individual Americans that are steeped in "a legacy of segregation, ignorance, stereotyping, discrimination" toward minorities.
Poor enforcement of anti-discrimination laws because of a lack of resources.
Rollbacks in affirmative action.
Economic disadvantage that disproportionately lumps minorities "at the bottom of the income distribution curve."
Discrimination against minorities in employment practices, from hiring and salaries to tenure, training, promotion and general work environments.
Practices that maintain segregation in housing, despite laws that prohibit it.
- Lack of equal access to business' capital and credit markets, technology and technology skills.
■ Unequal educational opportunities due to residential segregation and "white flight from the public school systems in many larger urban areas."
■ Police brutality, racial profiling, "startlingly high incarceration rates" and general discrimination in the criminal justice system that affect minorities, particularly toward blacks and Hispanics, disproportionately.
Erosion in voting rights because of a tendency by the federal courts to restrict creation of minority voting districts.

The Tour de Fat will make its third stop tomorrow in Lawrence.
Jason Elliott/Kansan
The celebration of beer and bikes is free to the public and is sponsored by New Belgium Brewing Company, brewers of Fat Tire Amber Ale. The tour celebrates cruiser bicycles featured on the label of Fat Tire beer, said David Kemp, event organizer and "tour connosseur" for New Belgium.
"It's a good chance to come and appreciate bikes and step back into time," Kemp said. "And hopefully, raise awareness about bikes as an alternative form of transportation."
Kemp said Lawrence was chosen — along with cities such as Seattle, Missoula, Mont., and Flagstaff, Ariz. because of its atmosphere and support of biking.
the proceeds from the Tour de Fat will benefit local non-profit organizations including the Red Cross, the Humane Society, the Yellow Bike Program and the Lawrence Mountain Bike Club, which maintains area trails such as the levy trail.
The club built a new trail for the event, which will take place at the Circle S Guest
Ranch north of town.
"The Circle S Ranch is the most beautiful venue we've had for the Tour de Fat," Kemp said. "It's the epitome of what an old cowboy ranch would look like."
The festival will feature food, New Belgium beers and the World Class Cruiser Bike Olympics, which includes the paper boy challenge, a Huffy Bike toss and a half-barrel race in which contestants will ride around kegs while holding a bottle of beer.
There will also be vintage bike collectors from across the state and two bands, Fear and
Whiskey and Bomb, a one-man band.
Bryce Guinn, a New Belgium Brewery Beer Ranger, which is a marketing representative, said the event incorporated the laid-back style of the cruiser bike with the excitement of mountain biking. The brewery is based in Kansas City, Kan.
"Lawrence is kind of our niche of people," Guinn said. "They do do quite a bit of business for us, so it's our way of saving thanks."
The Circle S ranch will open for mountain biking at 9 a.m., and the festivities will run from 11 a.m. to about 6 p.m.

XENIA, Ohio — A tornado swept through town, killing one person and injuring dozens of others as it left overturned cars, damaged buildings and downed power lines.
Tornado sacks Ohio, one person left dead
Authorities searched through the night for other possible victims of the storm that hit around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
"We are going home by home to see if everybody is OK," Mayor John Saraga said.
The storm — confirmed as a tornado by the National Weather Service — was a frightening reminder of a twister that struck the southwestern Ohio city a quarter-century ago, leaving 33 people dead and millions of dollars in damage. Authorities said the damage Wednesday, while significant, was far smaller.
"Ninety percent of our city is in good shape," Saraga said.
Still, at least 100 people were injured, and at least 14 were admitted to hospitals. One person was in critical condition and three were in serious condition yesterday.
The person who died, whose identity was not immediately released, was in a car that was crushed by a tree near the Greene County fairgrounds, Sheriff Jerry Erwin said.
Ruby Godfrey was in the Dayton Avenue Baptist Church when she heard hail pound the roof, which was eventually torn off.
"We're hitting the floor, getting under pews. You heard the roar. You saw the roof flying off and then it was gone." Godfrey said.
Gov. Bob Taft issued an emergency declaration for Xenia late Wednesday night.
Crews searched through the night for possible storm victims in the rubble of a grocery store that collapsed, though there were no reports of anyone missing. Nothing was found as of daybreak yesterday, but one more search was planned.
All that remained of the Groceryland was a tangle of steel girders, drywall and insulation. But cans of food still could be seen stacked neatly on a shelf inside.
Substantial damage also was reported at a Wal-Mart store where cars were overturned, utility lines fell and trees splintered. Windows were shattered and walls collapsed.
"There really was no warning," said employee Travis Waddle, 20. "I saw the tiles come down and people running and everybody screaming."
About 75 percent of Xenia remained without power at daybreak, the city manager said.
STATE BRIEFS Board of Regents has meeting on Fort Hays State campus
HAYS — The Board of Regents needs to be more customer oriented, board member Steve Clark said yesterday.
It was the first meeting the Board of Regents has had on the Fort Hays State University campus since legislation created a new board last year. The regents.now govern all the state's post-secondary institutions, including 19 community colleges and 11 vocational-technical schools.
Most of the discussion at yesterday's commission meeting involved cohesiveness and cost effectiveness.
Kansas State University President John Wefal said he thinks each institution has its own responsibility, especially when it comes to promotion.
Board chairman Clay Blair III of Olathe said one of the biggest accomplishments of the new department was
He said the board has to question whether it is managing correctly in a global age.
Tribe sues federal government in attempt to open casino
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The Wyandotte Nation said it has sued the federal government in a move that could end state regulation of casinos operated by American Indians.
The tribe of Wyndotte, Okla., is planning to open a casino in an old Masonic Lodge that's located between the tribe's historic cemetery and City Hall in Kansas City, Kan.
The tribe said it would rather open the casino at the Woodlands racetrack or at some other location in Wyandotte County.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. contends that legislation in Congress, which would allow the tribe to build its casino in a location other than the Masonic Lodge, has been illegally blocked by Sen. Sam Brownback, other members of the Kansas delegation and Gov. Bill Graves for three years.
The tribe said that if it wins its lawsuit, it could result in compact provisions being removed from the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. That would mean that all states that currently regulate Indian gambling would lose that authority.
States that receive money from Indian gambling would no longer be entitled to that money.
The tribe also claims that Graves and others have delayed the tribe in court for more than four years in a frivolous case that was still pending.
Firefighter's son dies in wreck after car strikes concrete culvert
Daniel Graves, 18, of Solomon, was killed Monday afternoon. Officials said his speeding car struck a concrete culvert with such force that the engine was pushed beneath the dashboard.
SOLOMON — A volunteer firefighter who was among the first people responding to a flaming traffic accident discovered that his son had been killed in the crash.
Saline County Deputy Gregg Swanson said speed was a factor in the crash. Graves, heading toward Solomon on the dirt road, apparently lost control of his car and it slid into the culvert. The car was burning when the Solomon Fire
The car was burning when the Solomon Fire Department arrived.
David Graves, Daniel's father, is a volunteer firefighter with the department and was one of the first to respond when the call of a car on fire was dispatched.
Because of the extensive damage and thick smoke, it took several minutes before Graves realized it was his son's car that had been destroyed, Britt said.

U.N. aid workers rally
Workers demand more protection
GENEVA — About 1,500 mostly U.N. aid workers wearing white arm bands and carrying photographs of slain and abducted colleagues marched yesterday to demand more protection while working in some of the world's most dangerous places.
The Associated Press
"Refugees' lives depend on us, but they can depend on us only if we stay alive," Sadako Ogata, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, said at the Geneva rally to protest the killing of four UNHCR workers killed this month — three in West Timor and one in Guinea — and the abduction of a fifth.
Around the globe, UNHCR and
other U.N. workers took part in memorial services, rallies and marches to remember their colleagues and insist that such attacks should never be allowed to happen again.
In New York, the U.N. flag was lowered to half mast and U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan led some 1,200 marchers in a minute of silence in memory of the victims, whom he called "heroes who worked to save lives."
Workers from the UNHCR head office in Geneva wore white arm bands in solidarity at a memorial service for the latest victim, Mensah Kpognon, who was killed in Guinea on Sunday.
The demonstrators maintain that unarmed humanitarian workers often are asked to go to places where governments were unwilling even to send peacekeeping troops.
Kpognon was the 15th U.N. civilian to die this year, and the 198th since January 1992. The majority were killed in shootings, bombings or ethnic violence.
"We want to live and not to be killed. We are aid workers, not martyrs," Naveed Hussain, head of the UNHCR staff association, told the Geneva rally.
In a message, Annan backed the workers' demands.
"Words fail us at a time like this," Annan said. "They fail to express our outrage at the senseless violence against a humanitarian worker whose sole purpose was to help people in need.
"But words must not fail us in the message we send today to the world and to member states of the United Nations. This message must be clear and unequivocal — failure to protect the lives of innocent and unarmed humanitarian workers is unacceptable."
Whaling controversy continues
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Beer flowed and cheers went up yesterday as a ship pulled into port carrying Japan's latest ocean catch — 88 whales.
The nation, which consumes whales both cooked and raw as a delicacy, remains unabashedly defiant before growing international criticism, defending the hunt as scientific research.
Next year, Japan plans to catch up to 160 whales — and much of the meat will end up in upscale restaurants.
"All they think is that whales are cute," fisheries official Masayuki Komatsu said derisively of Westerners at a ceremony aboard the ship, the Nisshin Maru.
Japan's hunt has drawn international ire. The United States punished Japan last week by denying it some fishing rights in U.S. waters and launched an investigation that could lead to trade sanctions.
The International Whaling Commission banned commercial whaling in the mid-1980s but allows whaling countries to kill whales for research to gather information on migration, eating patterns and pollution levels.
The Nissin Maru and its fleet of research vessels brought back in a refrigerated hull 88 whales caught and killed in the northwest Pacific Ocean — 43 Bryde's whales, five sperm whales and 40 minke whales.
It was the first time in more than a decade that the catch included not just minke but also Bryde's and sperm whales — two species protected under U.S. law.
Tokyo says both are plentiful.
putting estimates at 100,000 for sperm whales and 22,000 for Bryde's whales.
The hunt is in no way endangering the species, fisheries officials say, adding that the whales are hurting the livelihoods of Japanese fishermen by eating too much fish.
Activists say the research is no more than a guise for satisfying Japan's taste for whale meat.
"They're simply trying to revive commercial whaling," said Sanae Shida of Greenpeace Japan. "Do you normally have to kill animals to do this kind of research?"
Kazuo Shima, an official with the government-linked Institute of Cetacean Research, said Japan's efforts benefit the entire world.
"This research is not just for Japan," he said. "If Japan doesn't do this research, who will?"

E.M.U. players entertain KU, Lawrence with unique performances
By Torrie Jones writer@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
A man scrunches his body into a human ball and barrels across the floor. Two people have a conversation, throwing verses back and forth faster than the lightning round on "Family Feud."
Practice is underway for E.M.U.
E. M.U., a theater collective in its third season, is giving aspiring playwrights and actors a chance to perform original works in an open and collaborative setting. The group was founded by young playwrights and performers from the Lawrence area who wanted to add a unique element to the local arts scene.
The theater troupe has performed ten shows in its three seasons and is now working on the eleventh, tentatively titled "Shorts and Flip-Flops/Words are Meaningless." The project is an audio-visual collage exploring the use of language.
The "company" is composed of a pool of actors, actresses, directors and writers who are kept on call for appropriate projects. There are no particular requirements for being in E.M.U. (The acronym has yet to be determined.) What interests the group most is facilitating the needs of other artists and building a sense of community.
"This is my first experience directing outside of class assignments, and this is also my first time working with E.M.U.," Selig said. "The whole experience has been a microcosm of what E.M.U. is all about because I've gotten plenty of assistance from the company, the performers and my co-directors."
Amy McCarville and Jenny Selig, both Lawrence residents, are conducting the project.
McCarrille said that part of E.M.U.'s beauty was that productions didn't need to fit a particular formula. Since the hierarchy of the company is built around collective goals, the ego of the individual has to be put in check for the sake of the bigger vision.
The approach the group brings to the stage is different from standard theater in that the project generally begins and ends with E M U.
The first step in bringing a show to life is the writers' submission of
an original work. Since E.M.U. provides playwrights the opportunity to test out new works with actors and directors at their disposal, the company receives many scripts. At a meeting following submission of a play, the troupe's board reads the script.
If the piece strikes the company as unique and full of potential then the next step is staffing the play with the required number of performers. This is when Nathan Ladman, Lawrence resident and E.M.U. board member, pulls out the rodelox.
"Word of mouth throughout the artistic community about what E.M.U. does has has brought in a variety of talented individuals," Ladman said. "Students as well as people from the town have showed interest in being apart of what we do."
Once the cast has been chosen and the directors picked for the job, the collaboration process between directors and performers begins. The challenge is putting a spin on something that has never been spun before.
Unlike conventional theater, where the cast generally acts out scripts that have already been conceived, copyrighted and celebrated, the collective has the task of turning words and concepts into a completely functional work of art. Often the plays chosen are much more abstract than mainstream pieces so it's essential that those involved agree on how to interpret the material.
Kitty Steffens, Lawrence junior and Sarah Mathews, Lawrence resident are both featured in the upcoming production.
"This is completely different for me because I'm usually involved in more mainstream theater productions, and at first I was concerned because of how abstract the material was," Steffens said. "Now that we're further along in the creative process, I'm excited about the opportunity at hand."
E. M.U. is working towards seeking non-profit organization status, which would further legitimize the company as a self-sufficient force in the dramatic arts community.
"Recieving non-profit status is very important in planning the future of the company." Ladman said.
All of the past productions have been on the stage at Ecumenical Christian Ministries 1204 Oread Ave. For the project at hand, "Shorts and Flip-Flops/Words are Meaningless," the group is changing venues to the Lawrence Arts Center. The Arts Center will accommodate a larger audience and provide more room for the performers. The stage
also is more acoustically sound.
The show will be performed Friday, Oct. 6 at 9 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 7 at 8 and 11 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 8 at 4 p.m.
The tickets are priced in the five-to-seven-dollar range.
"We keep the ticket prices down in order to keep the art accessible." McCaryle said.
E. M.U. can be contacted by e-mail at emutheater@egroups.com for questions about submitting original works, auditioning for productions and upcoming performances
In a field in which egos, politics, hierarchy sometimes go hand in hand with "Lights, camera, action," the E.M.U. collective strives toward creating a sense of balance and cohesion within the arts arena.
"We view ourselves as being a unique and independent voice in a choir full of voices equally gifted," Selig said.

Dodge ball club brings back gym class trauma
See if this sounds familiar.
You're standing around in your high school gym class, thinking about your fourth-period English test. Then, all of a sudden, your thoughts are jarred when you're blind-sided by a dodge ball. Pretty soon another one hits you in the head. Then, before long, yet another comes in contact with your head.
Boy, was I peeved. All those innocent people getting hit in their heads with dodge balls. I wanted the name of this person. I wanted to know where he lived. I wanted to go hit him with a dodge ball.
For anyone who took a high school gym class, this scene was probably a regular occurrence.
At least it was for me. As a freshman in high school, my gym teacher used to force my class to compete against the sophomore boys' gym class every week in dodge ball. And, yes, I usually ended up getting hit in the head with a dodge ball, and I often would forget how to spell my name for at least 48 hours.
So why do I bring this up? Well, on the front page of the Kansan on Monday, there was a story about somebody who actually had the nerve to start up a dodge ball club on campus.
Ian smiled, then went on to preach that this form of dodge ball was safe. No shots to the head, no 48-hour memory loss, no menacing high school sophomores.
But I soon contacted Ian Spirdigliozzi, Flint, Mich., junior, and I found out he was a good guy after all. I met Ian in downtown in the Kansas Union one morning, and we talked dodge ball. We talked about how he and Morgan Bowen, Overland Park junior, got the idea for the KU Neo-Socialists and Dodge Ball Club one day while studying. We talked about how you don't even have to be a neo-socialist to take part in the games. And we talked about how the games are usually played on Saturdays. Anyone wanting more information should contact Ian at toyfulmpa.com.
Despite all this dodge ball goodwill floating around the Union, one question was still hounding me: How often do people get hit in the head during these games?
"It's not real competitive," he said. "Nobody's a hard-core dodge ball player. If you were, they'd laugh at you. And I'd just like to say that we'd love to have more females members, too. We're a coed club."
Oh? Really? Go on. Please.
"You have to try it," he said. "There's just this nostalgic feeling. Maybe you'll remember what it was like to play when you were younger. Maybe if you were the kid who got pegged, now's your chance for revenge."
Yes, revenge can be sweet, but are you sure those head shots are illegal?
"Head shots are out." he said flatly.
Indeed, one of the rules says "if the ball comes in contact with an opposing player's head, the person throwing the ball is out."
After that tidbit of information, I felt better about myself, better about my high school years, and better about dodge ball. In fact, I felt cured of my dodge ball head-shot phobia. One day I may even take part in a dodge ball game. What the heck.
But if a dodge ball comes anywhere near my head. I'm suing.

Kansas junior says he's best corner in Big 12
By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com Kansan sports writer
Andrew Davison is saying enough to make everyone go deaf.
Despite the humbling experiences last year for Kansas' junior cornerback, he's back this year more confident, more skilled and just as talkative. He says he is the best.
"I feel like I've improved a lot," Davison said. "I think I'm the best cornerback in the Big 12 Conference."
What?
Playing on last year's team that ranked last in the Big 12 in pass defense, one might think Davison would stop his bravado. He repeats his proclamation again, just to make sure he's clear.
"I feel I am the best cornerback in the Big 12," he said.
He is told that being quoted for making
that statement will automatically turn the No. 24 on his jersey into a bullseye. Teams will target him. They will attack him, make him prove that he can live up to his own billing.
463
"Go ahead," Davison said. "I want the challenge. I want to face the best receivers. I think this defense is ready, and I'm ready."
After what Davison has labeled a disappointing 1-1 start, including a season-opening loss at Southern Methodist, he has talked about how he thought Kansas should have won its first two games by blowouts. When some teammates were pleased to escape with last week's 23-20
nailiter against Alabama-Birmingham, Davison barely broke a smile.
"A win is a win, I guess," Davison said after the game. "But we should have beaten them really bad."
Davison has spoken of his embarrassment that the Jayhawks have not gotten the job done. He keeps gabbing about how Kansas has not played up to its potential and can be a contender in the conference.
"Drew's a talker," said junior Quincy Roe, a close friend of Davison who starts opposite of him at right cornerback. "He never stops talking."
The Jayhawks surrendered only 45 yards passing against Alabama-Birmingham. That has given Davison ammunition to keep firing away with words.
And Davison has not stopped as the Jayhawks head into a showdown at 6 p.m. tomorrow against Southern Illinois at Memorial Stadium. He insisted that his use of speech had not alienated him in the locker room after he heavily criticized his own team's substandard play.
"I don't think they care at all," Davison

than they all feel the same way. Davison is trying not to look ahead, but he admits it is tempting. After Southern Illinois looms the challenge of Big 12 play. Playing a Division I-AA team such as Southern Illinois does not excite him too much. Realistically, he doesn't want to play any more than the first half of tomorrow night's game.
"I hope we treat them like the double-A team they are," Davison said. "I hope we're blowing them out so I don't have to play the second half, and we can get some of the younger guys an opportunity to play."

'Hawks to whirl against Cyclones in conference play
By Sarah Warren sports@kanson.com Kansas sportwriter
With the sting of its loss to Nebraska not totally gone, the Kansas volleyball team heads to Ames, Iowa, tomorrow to continue Big 12 Conference play.
The Jayhawks were spanked by the Huskers, the No.1 team in the nation, Wednesday night, losing all three games by a
significant margin, 15-
7.15-5.15-6.
In fact, Bechard compared Iowa State to Nebraska, although he admitted the Cyclones were less venomous.
Kansas, now 10-2,
takes on 2-8 Iowa State
at 7 p.m. in the
Cyclones' Hilton
Coliseum.
The Jayhawks played the Cyclones twice last year, splitting the two matches. Kansas won 3-0 when Iowa State came to the Horejsi Family Athletics Center but fell to the Cyclones in five games at the Cell
In fact, Iowa State senior Stacy Nicks ranks fifth in the Big 12 in blocks, averaging 1.21 per game. However, as a team, Iowa State ranks last in the conference in digs, kills, assists, hitting percentage and match won/lost percentage.
"They're a good blocking team." Bechard said. "They're very physical too."
"We have to execute; we have to pass, unlike we did against Nebraska. We need to play our game and do the things we know how to do well."

Kansas, on the other hand, ranks in the top six of each of those areas, placing third in both hitting percentage and kills.
nive games at the Coliseum.
“It’s a team that really put a dagger in us last year,” said Kansas coach Ray Bechard.
Now 1-2 in conference, the Jayhawks need a win against the Cyclones, who are 0-3 in conference with losses to Kansas State, Texas and Missouri.
Despite the Cyclones' record, senior outside hitter Nancy Bell maintains that looks can be deceiving.
Individually, senior outside hitter Amy Myatt and Bell are ranked third and seventh, respectively, in blocks per game. Junior setter Molly LaMere also ranks third in assists per game.
"I've heard they're much better than last year," Bell said. "We've just got to go out there and play the way we can."
Bell said Kansas would need to live up to those stats if it were to avoid a close Cyclones.
match with the Cyclones.
The Jayhawks have an all-time 23-32-1 record against Iowa State, and this team seems to want to add another Kansas win to the record. "We didn't play our game against Nebraska," LaMere said. "We need to play our game against Iowa State. We still need to get the respect we deserve."
"We have to execute, we have to pass — unlike we did against Nebraska," Bell said. "We need to play our game and do the things we know how to do well."

Soccer sets sights on Big 12 tourney

Kansas sportswriter
Let the quest begin.
The Kansas soccer team has set the season goal at a level where it has never been before — making the Big 12 Conference Tournament. The top eight teams in the conference qualify.
Starting at 7 tonight, each victory means more to the Jayhawks (4-4), as they will open conference play against Oklahoma in Norman, Okla. Kansas then will face another conference foe, Oklahoma State, at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Olathe District Activity Complex.
Coach Mark Francis said the team had learned to play patiently during times of frustration, which would help it in conference play.
In its last game against Southwest Missouri State, Kansas dominated the midfield and created scoring chances but couldn't bury a single shot until deep into the second half. Francis said that his players had a tendency to panic when
that happened but that the team endured and stuck to its game plan to seize a victory.
"That was the thing I was happy about the game most." Francis said.
Francis said the team had made up for Rantala's absence.
The number of goals Kansas has scored this season without Hilla Rantala, the program's single-season-scoring record holder, also makes the coach happy.
"I mean, we scored two goals the last game and three goals the game before that." Francis said.
Despite this obstacle, the Jayhawks have learned ways to score goals.
After playing the season's first two games, Rantala, a senior forward from Vantaa, Finland, was forced to cut the season short because of a knee injury.
Sophomore defender Brianna Valento, who scored her first collegiate goal last Saturday against Ole Miss, said the victory before conference play began encouraged the team to begin its
She said both Oklahoma teams were beatable.
quest.
She said both Oklahoma teams were beating Oklahoma (5-3) will open the conference season in the midst of a three-game winning streak. Although the Sooners have scored only 10 goals in eight games this year, they boast a solid defense that has given up only 0.97 goals per game. Kansas beat Oklahoma 2-1 last year in Lawrence, which made their all-time record 2-1 against the Sooners.
"We need to win the next two because they are conference." Volunteer said.
In contrast to the Sooners, Oklahoma State (3-5) is heading into the weekend after losing its last three games.
%
But similar to Oklahoma, the Cowgirls' strength is a steady defense. Organizing the solid back line, sophomore goalkeeper Katharine Doud has earned three shutouts this season. Kansas defeated the Cowgirls 4-2 last year in Lawrence and evened the all-time series at 1-1-2.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 22).
Mind your manners to advance this year. Once you've learned the routine by heart, you can relax. You're looking good in October, but maybe too good. A dumpy older person could get jealous. Be nice and keep your job. Learn a new trick in December and renew an old love in February. Take care if you travel in June; little later is better. A wise crack could cost you a lot in July. Another's criticism spurs you to action in August.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, O the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Your workload should get easier soon, but it may not be until early next week. In the meantime, take care of last-minute business. Delegate chores to a person you trust, and then check to make sure they're done on time.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
You were clicking along pretty well, but now you could run into new problems. These are different than any you've seen before. That means you're in unfamiliar territory. This is part of the great adventure your life has become, right? Enjoy!
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
Financial planning has never been more important. Unfortunately, you'd rather play with your sweetheart or kids. Odds are good you'll be even less interested in balancing your checkbook tomorrow.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
A household project will take more of your time and mental energy the next few weeks. Right now it may look overwhelming. Break the job into smaller parts. Take them one at a time and you'll be done before you know it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
You're getting luckier — and smarter, too. Use that extra brainpower and check a tedious assignment off your list. You've avoided it because it seemed too hard. It's still difficult, but it's no longer impossible.

Sure enough, something goes wrong, but you have an alternative plan ready. You don't! Well, better get on that project right away. You don't have to let anybody know how you knew, either. It'll be our little secret.
Sagittarius (Nov, 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
A get-together with friends should be fun, but don't spend your life savings on it. Money is most likely to spark controversy. Listen, learn and then teach what you've discovered through experience.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --- Today is a 5.
Slow and easy does it. If you and a partner join forces, you'll overcome a new difficulty with ease and grace. If the two of you argue, you could lose the whole shooting match. Go against a common foe and forget your petty differences.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
Your thoughts may be far away, but try to keep them remeled in. If you make a silly mistake, you'll have to stay late to fix it. That could mess up other plans, so pay attention. If it's possible to have spring fever in autumn, you've got it — take care.

**pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)** — Today is a 7.

Kansas looks to recruit two California players
After failing to land forward Alan Anderson last weekend, Kansas will attempt to get another top recruit this weekend.
女
Kansas and Kentucky are the only two schools to offer him scholarships so far, and Hayes' father, Charles Hayes, said his son had been very impressed by Kentucky.
Chuck Hayes, a 6-foot-6 forward from Modesto, Calif., will make his official visit to Kansas today through Sunday. Hayes also is considering Kentucky, Texas-E Paso, St. Louis University, and Peppardine.
Notes: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Hayes has taken UCLA off of his list after the Bruins appeared to stop recruiting him.
"It wasn't that we really dropped them," the elder Hayes told Tracy Pierson of Pac-West Hoops. "They called us and said they were going with other players."
Kansas remains in the chase for another California recruit, as well.
Josh Childress, a 6-4 forward from Lakewood, Calif., said he was down to three schools — Kansas, Stanford and Arizona. He will visit Stanford on Saturday, Sept. 30; Kansas on Friday, Oct. 13, for Late Night with Roy Williams and Arizona at the end of October.

"I really like all three head coaches," Childress told Mike Sullivan of Insider's Report. "That's why they are on my list. I'll see how the visits go and how the players are."

The Ellsworth Medallion is reserved for people who follow the example set by executive secretary of the Alumni Association Fred Ellsworth, but neither of tomorrow's recipients think they did anything special to deserve it.
Kansas football legend Gil Reich and four-time NCAA Championship track coach Robert Timmons will receive the medallion today. Both said they were surprised to be chosen as recipients.
Reich and Timmons said they were doing something that came naturally: Giving back to the institution that had given them so much.
"To say the least I was very flattered and humbled," Reich said.
Reich, whose name remains atop the north stands in Memorial Stadium, graduated from the University of Kansas in 1954. He has worked with the Alumni
Association for the past 12 years, and plans to do so through 2001.
Reich has helped the association retain and add membership, especially in the Kansas City metro area.
"They were able to get the Kansas City alumni chapter more involved," he said.
Reich was added to the latter team in an unusual way. While sitting in the stands recovering from a broken hand, Forrest "Phog" Allen approached him and asked him how his hand felt. After hearing Reich's response, Allen asked him if he would like to suit up and play.
"I'm the only player in the history of Kansas to play a varsity basketball game without going to a practice," Reich said.
Timmons has also had a long-standing relationship with the University. He was the track coach for 24 years
"I'm the only player in the history of Kansas to play a varsity basketball game with out going to a practice." Gil Reich 1954 KU graduate
before retiring in 1988.
Timmons won countless indoor, outdoor and cross country championships to go along with his four NCAA championships.
The accomplishment of which he seemed most proud was the cross country facility he built on his Rim Rock Farm.
Timmons said the course was originally used for only small dual meets but came into its own when the 1998 Division I and II cross country championships were ran there. He said he hoped the championships would return to his course in 2003.

'Hawks to battle Salukis
By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
The early part of the Kansas football schedule reads like alphabet soup: SMU, UAB and now SIU. One wonders how schedulers missed TCU and UNLV.
Tomorrow's opponent,
Southern Illinois, is a
Division I-AA school, but its
enrollment is more than
23,000—providing the school
with the resources necessary
for a good football team.
The Salukis have eight players on their team who transferred from Division I-A schools — six of them from the University of Florida. SIU has 13 starters returning from last year's 5-6 squad.
Kickoff is 6 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
The Salukis have a 1-2 record. The team, named after a type of dog, upset fellow Gateway Conference member Northern Iowa 34-14 last week.
Kansas coach Terry Allen coached against Southern Illinois when he was coach at Northern Iowa and holds a 7-1 record against the Salukis.
Former Kansas assistant Jan Quarless is the coach at SIU. Quarless, like Allen, in his fourth year on the job.
The Jayhawks played Southern Illinois in 1986 and 1987, when coach Bob Valesente's team beat the Salukis 35-23 and 16-15. SIU quarterback coach Kevin Verdugo was the Jayhawk quarterback in the 1987 game.
Last week, the Jayhawk defense held UAB to 45 net yards passing. This week, Saluki quarterback Sherard Potetee, 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, can be expected to challenge the Jayhawk passing defense. Last season, he completed 58.3 percent of his passes and threw for 2,777 yards and 24 touchdowns.
The Jayhawks can't afford to concentrate solely on Poteette and ignore the SIU ground attack. Sophomore running back Tom Koutsos, 5-foot-10 and 218 pounds, ran for 168 yards against Northern Iowa and had a 189-yard game this season. He has scored three touchdowns in a game twice this season. SIU returns six offensive starters, two on the offensive line, a wide receiver, a tight end, Poteette and Koutsos.
The SIU defense features four returning defensive line starters, two returning starters at linebacker and one returning starter at defensive back.
But this year the Salukis allowed 42 points in a loss to Murray State and blew a 31-0 lead against Southeast Missouri State, losing 34-33.
If last season is any indication of the way SIU plays, the Jayhawks should expect a high-scoring game. Last year, in regulation games — not overtime games — the Salukis scored 58, 52 twice, 48, 45 and 43 points; and allowed 68, 66, 55 and 49 points.

'Husker running attack takes on Iowa
By Allan Davis
Kansan sportswriter
No. 1 Nebraska, 20, did not play on Saturday and has had plenty of time to prepare for tomorrow's game against Iowa, 0-3.
Nebraska leads Division I-A in rushing offense, averaging 389.5 yards per game. Cornhusker quarterback Eric Crouch has already scored six touchdowns in Nebraska's first two games.
If Iowa is to stay close, quarterback Scott Mullen must have a good game. This season, he has completed 55 of 101 passes for four touchdowns. Iowa has already lost to two Big 12 Conference teams — K-State and Iowa State. The Cornhuskers embarrassed the Hawkeyes last season at Iowa, 42-7. The game is sold out — Nebraska's 236th consecutive sellout.
North Texas at No. 4 Kansas State
K-State, 3-0, is back near the top of the national rankings again this year, and North Texas, 0-3, doesn't figure to do much damage to the Wildcats' prestigious position.
K-State has just too much talent for the Eagles to handle. K-State quarterback Jonathan Beasley has thrown for 629 yards and six touchdowns in three games this season.
North Texas has already lost two games to Big 12 opponents, and the Eagles can probably expect their third beating tomorrow. North Texas coach Darrell Dickey was a quarterback at K-State from 1979-82, when his father, Jim Dickey, was the Wildcat coach.
Wildcat wide receiver Quincy Morgan is averaging 114.3 yards receiving per game.
Texas, 1-1, came home from Los Angeles last week and scratches, courtesy of the UCLA Bruins, who beat the Longhorns, 27-24.
Houston at No. 15 Texas
The Cougars, 1,2, are coached by K-State graduate Dana Dimal, who is in his first year at Houston. Despite last week's loss, the Longhorns are averaging 416.5 yards per game.
Texas quarterback Major Applewhite has six touchdowns this season and is eight short of the Texas career record. Houston run up 524 yards of total offense in its 31-30 come-from-behind win Saturday against Army.
Cougar sophomore running back Joffrey Reynolds was named the Conference USA Player of the Week for his performance against Army. Reynolds ran for 201 yards and caught three touchdown passes. Houston and Texas were both in the now-disbanded Southwest
Oklahoma, 2-0. is coming off a bye week and can be expected to have Rice for dinner.
Conference.
Rice at No. 17 Oklahoma
The Owls are 1-2 and have never beaten Oklahoma — the Sooners hold a 6-0 advantage. Oklahoma's average of 50 points per game ranks third in Division I-A. Freshman Renaldo Works leads the Sooner rushing attack, averaging 103.5 yards per game — 29th in Division I-A.
Works has already scored four touchdowns in only two games. Rice junior kicker Derek Crabtree made 13 of his first 14 career field goal attempts and made eight of nine last season. The Sooners are coached by Bob Stoops, a former K-State assistant now in his second year at Oklahoma.
No. 22 Southern Mississippi at Oklahoma State
This might be the best game of the week involving Big 12 teams.
A Cowboy win tomorrow against Southern Mississippi, 1-1, would gain some respect for Oklahoma State, 2-0. Oklahoma State's Reggie White is ranked fifth in Division I-A rushing with an average of 187 yards per game. Quarterback Tony Lindsay is in his fourth year as the starting quarterback for Oklahoma
State. Golden Eagle running back Derrick Nix has noted back-toback 1,000-yard rushing seasons and is a player the Cowboys need to stop if they are to beat Southern Mississippi.
The Golden Eagles shut out Alabama Saturday, 21-0. Southern Mississippi's only loss was a 19-16 defeat to Tennessee.
South Florida at Bavior
The Bears, 1-1, suffered a big loss Saturday — starting quarterback Greg Cicero was lost for the season after breaking his collarbone.
South Florida only started playing football in 1997 but is 2-1 this season. The Bulls have a 24-14 record since the program started. It is unclear how much offense the Bears will be able to muster without Cicero, but senior running back Darrell Bush will be asked to shoulder some of the load. He is eight on the Baylor career rushing list with 1,791 yards.
South Florida might stay close and could possibly beat the Bears. Baylor lost its home opener against Minnesota on Saturday, 34-9. Former Kansas coach Glen Mason leads Minnesota.
Notes: Five Big 12 teams do not play this week. Iowa State, Missouri, Colorado, Texas Tech and Texas A&M all have the week off.

Penn State's Paterno full of contradictions
The Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - One minute, Joe Paterno wonders if his team is capable of winning another game this season. The next, he says everything is just fine with Penn State.
Paterno's confusion is understandable considering the Nittany Lions have been 1-3 just once before in his 35 years as coach. Penn State hasn't started 1-4 since 1964 when Rip Engle was the coach.
But the Nittany Lions have to pull off a major upset against No. 14 Ohio State tomorrow to avoid matching that start.
Sounds like the Nittany Lions are desperate. Right?
"We may not be good enough to beat anybody on our schedule," Paterno said. "We just may not be good enough. I don't know."
"You guys all think I am about ready to shoot myself" Paterno said. "I am excited about the eight big games we have. I am excited that I think I have a pretty good football team that is eventually going to be a darn good football team."
Paterno is full of contradictions as he continues
to seek answers for Penn State's struggles. After last Saturday's 12-0 loss to Pittsburgh, Paterno suggested he might make wholesale changes.
Paterno, still six victories shy of breaking Bear Bryant's Division I-A record of 323, even questioned himself.
nree days later, and after some soul-searching and a lot of film-watching, Paterno wasn't ready to make any changes.
"When things are as bad as they are, I think I have to start looking at me first," he said.
The 73-year-old Paterno, whose critics say the game has passed him by, has complete support from most of his players.
"I have 100 percent faith in Coach Paterno," defensive end Bob Jones said. "He's been coaching football longer than I've been alive. If anyone knows football, it's him. What he does now really shows he's a great coach. He's frustrated, but he doesn't bring us down mentally."
One player, however, has openly questioned the competence of the coaching staff. After a 24-6 loss to Toledo Sept. 9, tailback Larry Johnson criticized the play-calling on offense, saying it's "too predictable" and outdated.
Neither Johnson's comments nor the predictability of Penn State's offense will matter Saturday in the Big Ten opener against Ohio State. The Buckeyes (3-0) are coming off a sluggish 27-16 victory against Miami (Ohio) and are looking to avenge last year's 23-10 loss at Penn State.
The Buckeyes never imagined Penn State would start off like this, but they are still wary.
"We're not going to see a lot of cautious play this weekend," said Ohio State offensive coordinator Chuck Stobart. "My guess is they'll turn it loose and let it go. Right or wrong, let 'em go play. They've got to get running to the ball like they did a year ago."
Quarterback Rashard Casey has been erratic, the offense line has been inconsistent, the running game has been nonexistent and the receivers routinely fail to make simple catches.
Paterno is faithful that Penn State will develop a good team.
"We are all right," Paterno said. "I really don't think we are very far off."

Virginia Tech's defense challenged from within
BLACKSBURG, Va. — Cory Bird slumped in the chair, his posture suggesting disdain for the questions he knew were coming.
Virginia Tech had just finished shutting out Rutgers 49-0, the best effort yet for the Hokies' young defense, and Bird was putting the victory in perspective.
"We like to see that big goose egg and I'm real proud of our defense," said the fifth-year defensive back, perhaps the No. 1 critic of the defensive team.
But, he added, the older players have to keep the younger ones thinking they're good enough.
Welcome to Virginia Tech, where Michael Vick has turned offense into constant highlight material, but where defense and special teams have always been king.
This year, the loss of eight defensive starters from the team that reached the national championship game last season had people wondering if the Hokies could make another title run.
It's a question veteran defenders have taken personally.
After two games, though, the No. 5 Hokies had allowed an average of 25.5 points to Akron and East Carolina. Their defense, which led the nation in that category last season, was allowing more than 400 yards a game, and ranked 91st nationally.
Ever since I've been here, Blacksburg's always been about defense," said linebacker Nick Sorensen. "We have a really great offense this year and a lot of people are questioning our defense. It's different, but we are not lacking any confidence."
Then Rutgers coach Terry Shea and the Scarlet Knights came to Lane Stadium and talked of matching the Hokies' offense touchdown for touchdown. The perceived slight helped motivate Virginia Tech.
When it was over, Rutgers had gained 241 yards with five turnovers. Virginia Tech, which improved to 3-0, had blocked one punt and smothered another when the snap was low.
"We were challenged as a defense and I think we responded as a defense," Bird said.
They'll have a week off to work on that before playing at Boston College Saturday, Sept. 30.
Sorensen said the shutout was a good glimpse of the defense's potential.
"But we do need to get better and we understand that," he said. "I don't think anyone's complacent."
The need to succeed defensively is a way of life at Virginia Tech, with each class unwilling to be the one that loses the edge.
"When we're working out and even in the summer when we're running, we let these young bucks know that this is what Virginia Tech is all about." Sorensen said.
The work ethic also carries over to special teams, where coach Frank Beamer has become a guru of sorts. In 13-plus seasons, the
Hokies have blocked 79 kicks and scored 21 special teams touchdowns.
One of the stars against Rutgers was freshman Eric Green, who blocked the punt, tackled punter Mike Barr for a 22-yard loss after a bad snap, and intercepted a pass in the end zone on a fourth-and-2 play from the Virginia Tech 22.
Green, recruited as a quarterback by many Division I-A schools, picked Virginia Tech knowing he would win. He worked at a university team.
That, Sorensen said, showed what success can do for a program.
"The way to build a strong program, the bottom line is you win," he said.
"The first two weeks we were kind of average on defense. We got better from the first game to the second game, and I think from the second game to now, we've gotten even better." Sorensen said. "I definitely feel like that's more Tech football."

Mills, Topea junior, gained further interest in the sport while working in a bicycle shop where fellow employees urged him to go on bicycle trips. For the past few years, he has competed in road bike races and the 400-mile Bike Across Kansas Tour. While many people would struggle to endure a trek from the Colorado border to the Missouri state line, Mills said he was fond of the experience.
Adam Mills began riding a bicycle because he needed transportation to his youth soccer practice. These days, it might be difficult to find him not riding one.
"It's more like a vacation," he said. "You can get away from the cell phones, televisions and the responsibilities of normal life."
Mills also enjoyed the competition of races in which he had some impressive finishes. He placed 11th at the State Road Race Championships last year at Fort Riley and fourth at the State Criterium last year in Leavenworth.
"The label sets the sport apart from the rest of the pack," he said.
"There is a lot of strategy in bicycle racing that you don't see on television," he said. "A lot of it requires thinking and conserving energy."
While Mills has put most of his effort into road bicycles, he has recently strived to be a better mountain biker while going on rides with the KU Cycling Club.
"Mountain biking is awesome," he said. "You get to go down near the trees, dodging logs and cruising through rocks."
Mills said he was content with cycling being labeled an alternative sport.
Although cycling is largely an individual
sport. Mills enjoys the teamwork displayed within the 50-member club. The team competes in a regional conference with schools including Kansas State, Minnesota and Nebraska and is aiming for a spot at the national competition.
"We would like to get more exposure by qualifying for nationals," he said.
Mills helps organize team rides almost every day and appreciates the overall effect of the exercise.
If you're Marty Nothstein, you get nothing.
Cycling Club President Vanessa Sincock, Springfield, Mo., senior, appreciates the knowledge that Mills brings to the rest of the team.
"The sport promotes a healthy lifestyle," he said. "Cycling is a much more interesting workout than the Stairmaster."
"He is definitely a good road racer," she said. "And he helps out people who aren't as experienced as he is."

Nothstein came up short in his bid for a second Olympic medal after the Germans used team tactics to block him last night in the Keirin. He finished in fifth place one night after winning gold in the men's match sprint.
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — What do you get when you put two Germans in a Japanese bicycle race that is won by a Frenchman?
Teamwork helps German cyclist win medal
The Keirin gold medal went to Florian Rousseau of France. Gary Neiwand of Australia won the silver and Jens Fiedler of Germany, with help from teammate Jan van Eijden, won bronze.
"They wanted one of their guys to win," Nothstein said. "If that means slowing down the other riders, then
that's what happens. We had some medals handed out because of teamwork."
Nothstein, of Trexlertown, Pa., was fighting mad as the race ended. He slugged up Eijden, who finished fourth, as they rode down the front straight out of medal contention.
"It wasn't a hard hit, just more because of anger." Nothstein said. "I would have had an Olympic medal. He was protecting Fiedler, just doing his job. It's hard to swallow because team tactics were used."
The whole thing came out sounding like a bad joke, especially after Fiedler denied anything was amiss.
When asked if he had an advantage because of his teammate, Fiedler smirked and said: "Everybody goes into the race alone. We had the same jersey but not the same tactics. Everybody wants to win."
It was too bad for Nothstein that the American program wasn't deep enough to provide him some help in the Keirin.
"I didn't have a teammate and it makes it difficult," he said. "I was on my way to another medal. It was pretty obvious."
When Fiedler made his move with just more than two laps to go, van Eijden looked back to find Nothstein. From there, van Eijden's job was to block the American to ensure a medal for Germany.
"In this event, that kind of stuff happens," said Sean Petty, director of the U.S. team.
The strongest rider this week was Nothstein, who had the fastest qualifying time in the sprint. He then powered his way to his gold medal by blowing past Fiedler in the sprint semifinals and Rousseau in the finals.
In the Keirin he even made an extra ride through the recharge, the event's version of a loser's bracket. Nothstein lost in the first round to van Eijden and Frederic Mame of France.
"My legs were a little stale." Nothstein said. "I made a tactical error. When the Frenchman attacked, I went with him when I should have just held back and then made my move."
He came back strong to win the repecharge and his second-round heat.
The Keirin, making its Olympic debut in Sydney, is wildly popular in Japan, where bets can be placed on professional riders. To safeguard against illicit gambling, Japanese officials require cyclists to train and ride individually.
It's a system that sounds good to Nothstein.

Kansas State Fair reports large loss from several events
The Associated Press
HUTCHINSON — A big loss on the show by rock group Third Eye Blind led to a deficit of $44,510 on grandstand shows at the Kansas State Fair, according to preliminary figures.
Third Eye Blind was guaranteed $100,000 for its appearance, but drew a crowd of only 2,055. Even after the band reduced its guarantee to $95,000, the fair still came up short $57,485, fair officials said Wednesday.
Overall, the fair made money on four grandstand acts and lost on nine others.
The most successful by far was the appearance by the hard rock group Def Leppard, which was a near sellout. The fair made a $77,286 profit on that show.
Creedence Clearwater Revisited drew a small crowd of 2,184 paying fans, but the group's fee was only $72,500 leaving the fair with a $10,935 profit.
The Friday night Bull Blast earned $1,532 for the fair, while the AMA Motocross event generated a $1,764 profit
Aside from Third Eye Blind, the biggest moneylosers for the fair were the Party Pack at $22,998; the PRCA Rodeo at $18,276; Dwight Yoakam, Cledus T. Judd and Sons of the Desert at $12,186; and afternoon car races at $2,050. The final night's concert by LFO and Youngstown cost the fair $1,586.
Fair board member Mary Alice Lair said the reason the Third Eye Blind was a failure probably was because it was on a Sunday. The band appeals mostly to young people, and that was a school night.
Fair General Manager Bill Ogg said the fair thought it had a hit when it signed Third Eye Blind, which has sold out several 12,000- to 14,000-seat venues since its state fair performance.
He said the fair could spend a lot of money to bring big-name stars to the fair, but the downside would be a much more costly ticket.
"We could charge more, but that goes against our philosophy of having a wide range of entertainment that's affordable," Ogg said. "That said, I don't like seeing that $44,000 negative figure."

Olympic pool additions technology help athletes
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — When swimmer Lenny Krayzeburg arrived from a 15-hour flight in early September for pre-Olympic training, there was only one place he wanted to be.
An hour after unpacking his bags, the American backstroker who set two world records at the Sydney International Aquatic Center at last August's Pan Pacific championships was back in the Olympic pool.
"I just jumped in and felt like new again," he said.
"There's something magical about it."
And fast. Twelve world records have been set or equaled after six days of the Olympic swim program, including five on the opening night, adding to the 12 world marks that were set at the PanPacs.
At the Australian trials in the same pool in May, Susie O'Neill broke four world records in three days, Ian Thorpe three in three days.
While the skinlight bodysuits have been credited with improving times at the Sydney Games — where Krayzelburg completed the 100-200 gold double with a win in the 200 meters yesterday — the world records at the PanPacs were set before most of the top swimmers were wearing the new suits.
Krayzelburg's time of 1:58.40 seconds Wednesday in qualifying for the 200 broke an eight-year Olympic record of 1:58.40 held by Spain's Martin Lopez-Zubero. He bettered the Olympic record in yesterday's final with a time of 1:56.76.
Also Wednesday, Inge de Bruijn of the Netherlands broke her own world record in the 100-meter freestyle to add to her 100 butterfly mark she set Sunday.
What helps make the pool quicker than most is the newest technology — anti-wave lane ropes, extra lanes, a level wet-deck and water depth of 10 feet that reduces turbulence.
Angled starting blocks with handle bars, ozone treated water, temperature controls of the air and water, vibrant colors around the pool and energetic music all play a part.
Lane ropes used to be strings of decorated wire but now they are thick plastic devices that prevent water spilling from one lane into the next. Starting blocks, once flat, are angled slightly to hasten take-offs.
The wet deck is at water level, allowing waves to wash over the side and through drains instead of rebounding across the pool. There are 10 lanes, and although the outside two are not used, the extra lanes allow side waves to dissipate.
Ozone treatment of the water helps visibility and reduces the taste, smell and eye soreness that comes from chlorine. Colors around the pool can also help. The end of each lane is bright yellow.
Swimmers also warm up to music. Santana's "Smooth," Shaina Tianna's "I Feel Like A Woman," INXS's "New Sensation" and Smashmouth's "AllStar" are among the Olympic pool-selections.
Pieter van den Hoogenband of the Netherlands, who has set two world records in Sydney, isn't convinced any of that makes any difference: "The pool is nice, but the swimmers are all great, too."
But American Tom Malchow, who set an Olympic record while winning gold in the 200 butterfly, says the pool has spurred on the competitors.
"The way everything's going, it looks like you have to come close to a world record in every race to win it." he said.
BLACKTOWN, Australia — Lisa Fernandez says her Olympic experience has been a nightmare. What's worse, it's a recurring one.
Americans lose third softball game
The Associated Press
"I was sitting in the locker room thinking. 'It can't happen again,'" Fernandez said. "But one thing about Atlanta is, we won the gold."
In a game reminiscent of her loss in the 1998 Games, the U.S. softball team's star pitcher cruised through a scoreless game and into extra innings against Australia yesterday — then gave up a two-run homer to lose 2-1.
"It like this voodoo that's over us," said Christie Ambrosi, of Overland Park, who singled in the top of the 13th to give the United States a short-lived lead. "But it's got to end sometime."
Yesterday's defeat was the Americans' third straight loss in Sydney, a stunning string for a team that had won 112 in a row and was heavily favored in these Olympics. The United States had never lost three straight international games, but it has now lost as many games in these Olympics as it had since the last ones.
Four years ago in Atlanta, Fernandez had a perfect game through nine innings of a scoreless game before the United States scored in the top of the 10th. She got the first two outs in the bottom of the inning, then gave up a two-run homer to Australia's Joanne Brown.
It was the Americans' only loss of the inaugural Olympic softball tournament. Fernandez sobbed after the game, and she stewed about it for the past four years while waiting for an opportunity to make amends.
She had her chance on yesterday.
She had her chance on yesterday.
Fernandez struck out an Olympic record 25 batters
and allowed only one hit into the 13th. She retired
the first batter, and then got Brown to ground out to leave the Americans one out from a victory.
Then Fernandez threw a "drop pitch" that didn't drop, and Peta Edebone knocked it over the left-field fence. The ending brought both teams to tears.
"I can now understand the emotions Joey went through in 1986." Edebone said about Joanne Brown. "It's a feeling that takes over you. When I rounded third and I looked at my teammates at home plate all crying, I burst into tears."
The memories of the 1996 game and the burgeoning rivalry between the teams made yesterday's matchup a crucial one for both sides. Australia was the only team to beat the Americans from the '96 Games until these. But the game became increasingly important when both lost to Japan — and then the Americans lost to China.
The top four in the eight-team tournament advance to the medal round. The third and fourth place teams would have to win an extra game to win the gold medal.
"I don't think I've ever been a part of a bigger challenge than we're in right now," Fernandez said. "If we come back and win the gold, there will be no sweeter win."
That will happen only if the Americans start hitting. They are batting .181 as a team, with Fernandez still looking for her first hit after 18 at-bats.
"It's almost like the Olympics isn't real," she said. "I'm 0-for whatever at the plate, and I was already nervous coming in because of the expectations. I want someone to pinch me and wake me from this nightmare."

Stubblefield out on bail after arrest for assault
The Associated Press
ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Redskins and former Kansas football player Dana Stubblefield was
arrested on charges of assaulting his wife in a dispute about luggage.
An argument between the 315-pound tackle and his wife escalated into a fight, Fairfax County police said. Kim Stubblefield called
POLICE
Stubblefield:
says argument was only verbal
police to their Great Falls, Va.,
home wednesday night.
"Nobody got hurt, nobody was drinking, nobody was doing anything out of the ordinary." Stubblefield said from practice yesterday. "Just one of those normal arguments you get with your wife."
Stubblefield, who played at Kansas from 1990 to 1992, was taken to Fairfax County jail. He was released on $2,500 ball and was
told not to have any contact with his wife for 48 hours.
"Didn't realize that if the cops were called that I'd have to be taken down," Stubblefeild said.
There were no signs of physical injury, and Kim Stubblefield declined medical treatment, a police representative said.
Stubblefield said only words were exchanged with his wife. He insisted there was no contact.
"It was obvious that the argument wasn't that bad because our two kids were sleeping right down the hall," he said. "They never woke up."
The arrest comes at a time of discord for the Redskins. With a $100 million payroll, they were regarded by many as a favorite to reach the Super Bowl. But they have won only one of their first three games and lost their best receiver, Michael Westbrook, for the season with a torn knee ligament.
Stubbelfield said he was aware of the NFL's tougher stand on domestic violence. But he does not expect to be suspended, and he is focusing on Sunday's upcoming game
against the undefeated New York Giants.
"I went to Norv (Turner, Redskins coach) and told him that it's not a distraction," he said. "You don't have to worry; my mind is on New York 100 percent."
Stubblefield is entering his eighth year in the league. He was the NFL's defensive rookie of the year with San Francisco in 1993 and then joined the Redskins in 1996.
The arrest came on the same day Mustafah Muhammad of the Indianapolis Colts was suspended without pay for two games by the NFL. He was convicted Aug. 29 of beating his pregnant wife. She died 10 days later as the result of injuries from an auto accident, and the baby was stillborn.
If a court determines a player violated the law, he faces a fine or suspension without pay.
Under NFL policy, a player arrested or charged with a crime involving violence or the threat of violence must be evaluated by professional experts.

KC, Denver renew rivalry Sunday
DENVER — In the storied history of the rivalry between Kansas City and Denver, there exists a pattern of predictability.
"Every game we play is a dogfight," said Chiefs quarterback Elvis Grbac.
The meetings are usually close, and the more physical team usually wins. Since the Chiefs dominated the series in the 1960s, the outcomes have been evenly split. In 20 regular-season meetings in the 1990s, the teams each won 10 times.
Denver won the lone playoff meeting, a 14-10 victory in 1997 en route to its first Super Bowl victory.
"I think the best game I've ever been involved with was that playoff game," said Denver coach Mike Shanahan said. "It's one of the most physical games I've ever been associated with. Those are the types of games we have — knockdown, drag-out types."
Of those 21 contests in the 1990s, 18 were won by the team that scored last, including the last nine and 12 of the last 13.
"For the last couple of years, it's just been neck and neck," Grbac said. "It always comes down to a last-second play or something."
The question for the Broncos on Sunday when the Chiefs come to Mile High Stadium is who will do the play-making.
Griere tese cartilage in his throwing shoulder in last week's 33-24 win against Oakland. He had a similar injury early in 1999 but played through it, missing only two games and then opting for off-season surgery
Eight Broncos missed significant practice time during the week, including quarterback Brian Griese, the NFL's top-rated passer, running back Terrell Davis and All-Pro defensive tackle Trevor Pryce.
Griese has thrown seven touchdown passes and no interceptions this season for a passer rating of 116.2. His backup is veteran Gus Frerotte, who hasn't thrown a pass this season.
Davis, recovering from reconstructive knee surgery last October, sprained his left ankle in the season opener and has missed the past two games. Unheralded rookie Mike Anderson, a sixth-round draft choice, has been brilliant in Davis' absence, rushing for 131 and 187 vards.
Fryce has been slowed by a sprained right knee. His backup, Montae Reagor, also has been hobbled by a sprained ankle.
The Broncos definitely will be without kicker Jason Elam, who broke two bones in his lower back, and backup safety Kenyon Kennedy, who has a torn ligament in his left knee.
"We had this happen last year," Shanahan said. "And unfortunately we've had it happen early this year. We're asking for our second- and third-team guys to step up. We're counting on them playing at the same level as the starters."
so far they have. The Broncos (2-1) rank second in the NFL in points scored and second in yards rushing.
The Chiefs (1-2) whipped San Diego 42-10 last week as Grbac threw a career-high five touchdown passes, three of them to rookie Sylvester Morris.
"We've been going through a lot of tough things," said Kansas City coach Gunther Cunningham said. "Derrick Thomas' death was really heavy on our shoulders. We've changed personnel so drastically; I think we've got between 28 and 30 new players since I took over. Those adjustments have taken time."
Kansas City beat Denver in both meetings last season.

Athletics Department pulls union bookstores' radio ads
By Kursten Phelps

Kansan staff writer
Memorial Stadium isn't the only place where competition is
heating up at the University of Kansas
— add a clash between the Athletics Department and the Kansas and Burge Union Bookstores.
The Jayhawk Radio Network, which broadcasts KU football games, has refused to run the bookstores' radio advertisements at the request of the Athletics Department, said Pat Warren, associate athletics director.
"Our understanding was that they were moving forward to promote their on-campus presence," he said. "In my
The bookstores' emphasis on its online component,www.jayhawks.com, was the concern that influenced the department's decision to pull the advertising, Warren said. The department is limiting the promotion of KU-related Internet sites during athletic events.
opinion, that's not what they're doing."
opinion, that's what they're doing. Warren said the department wanted to avoid confusing KU fans who could mistake the bookstores' Web site for the official Athletics Department Web site, www.jayhawks.org. Other schools, he said, used their mascots as part of their athletics departments' Web site addresses.
See ONLINE on page 6A
"It presents a confusing picture to fans about where to buy and who they should support," Warren said. "We're trying to get this resolved in a way that works for both parties."
The bookstore advertised during the first football game of the season but has not advertised the last two weekends. Mike Reid, director of the Kansas Union Bookstore, said the Athletics Department didn't express any advertising concerns to him before the first game.
Reid said the bookstores had been a long-term corporate sponsor of KU Athletics, and he wasn't sure what the Athletics Department
International GTAs may face language woes
By Jennifer Valadez
writer@kansan.com
International graduate teaching assistants are often confronted with a language barrier that hinders communication and can cause confusion for both teachers and students.
Pinfei Lu, Kaohsiu, Taiwan, GTA in the department of philosophy, said communication was a major problem in her classes.
"The students are either talking in slang or just murmuring, and I can't understand," said Lu, a third-year graduate student. "If they're patient enough and speak more slowly, I would understand."
"It's not philosophy that's difficult, it's the language," she said.
Matt Ward, Kingman freshman, is in Lu's philosophy discussion class and said the language barrier was frustrating. He said he wanted to learn more by attending the discussion, but got little out of it. He said he couldn't convey his questions and couldn't understand the responses.
"I see that she's got a wealth of knowledge but doesn't have the communication skills," he said. "I'll get an idea but feel that I can't express it. I want her to push me so that I can get her opinion, too."
"They get a kick out of teaching me"
The language barrier often turns GTAs into students as they work to learn English.
Mirko Wojnowski, a mathematics GTA from Stuttgart, Germany, said he sometimes found himself becoming a student in the classes he taught.
Wojnowski said language didn't often present a problem for him. However, he said, some students have used it as an excuse to get out of class work.
"At times, some of the math terms are different for me," said Wojnowski, a third-year graduate student. "But they get a kick out of teaching me."

Student to see his 90th performance
By Meahan Bainum
Kansan staff writer
Thousands of barefoot "Phishheads" will be dancing on Sandstone Ampitheatre's lawn tonight.
Yes, Phish is swimming its way to Bonner Sortings.
Loyal University of Kansas Phish fans who aren't on tour with the band already, like David Leathers, Overland Park senior, are anxiously awaiting the show. For them, Phish is more than a band — it's an obsession.
Leathers will see his 90th Phish show at 7:30 p.m. His Phish obsession began more than six years ago and has taken him to 26 states and Toronto, Canada.
He owns 100 bootleg CDs and tapes of various Phish shows, and said his fixation stemmed from his love of the band's music.
"They're amazing, and I don't see how people couldn't like them." Leathers said. "They put on the best live show around."
The four-man band began in 1983. The members are Page McConnell on keyboards, Trey Anastasio on guitar, Jon Fishman on drums and Mike Gordon on bass. All members of the band sing.
Leathers said that every Phish concert he saw was different, and that he never knew what to expect.
Leathers said this combination of talent and innovation made him want to travel with the band. He said he watched all 20 shows of the 1999 summer tour and was ready to travel more — even though it meant spending thousands of dollars and traveling thousands of miles.
"They have a secret language — they do all sorts of things," he said. "The drummer will play the vacuum, they'll jump on trampolines. It's original. You don't know what's going to happen."
"It's a delicate balance between when you have tests and if you have the money and if you have a ride," Leathers said. "You've got to work your way around school and money."
He said the only negative aspect of Phish
shows were the people that attended just for the scene and the drugs — not the music.
"The problem with Phish nowadays is that they've become an excuse to get messed up," he said. "People go there just as an excuse to do drugs and act stupid."
David Brodie, Prairie Village junior, said that although he liked Phish and thought it would be fun to travel with them, he has only seen two Kansas City shows.
"I can't bend over backwards and dedicate my entire life to one piece of art," he said. "There's a lot of other things to explore and a lot of other things to do. It would be fun to do for a while. It'd be a great break from reality, but I've got my own life and I do other things."
"I never go in with expectations, just because it's going to be what it's going to be, and they're going to play what they're going to play," he said. "I'm going to take it for what it's worth, just like I do with any show,- and hope for the best."
But, as Leathers said, everybody has an obsession — and Phish happens to be his. He said that tonight's concert would be another great show as long as it doesn't rain.

Bikers say ride raised energy; others say it damaged cause
Jim Turner, president of the Lawrence Bicycle Club,and member of the Lawrence Bicycle Advisory Committee, said the Critical Mass ride was not the best way to raise awareness of bike issues.
The fallout from Thursday night's Critical Mass bicycle ride left some local bike activists disgusted and others hooting to stance another ride.
Twelve bicyclists were issued traffic citations, and one was forcibly arrested Thursday night.
"I was totally disgusted," he said. "To go out and do what they do and blow off the traffic rules and lights in the name of safety is ironic. It's like beating somebody up who is against violence. I don't consider them part of the bike community at this point."
Lawrence resident Dave Strano helped plan the Critical Mass ride and said he thought it was successful.
"It raised a lot of people's energy and hopes for bike issues being raised," he said.
Strano said the group is going to
meet to plan another possible ride. He said he would like to see more bike lanes and the downtown open only to bikes and pedestrians.
"Lawrence is really congested with traffic lately," he said.
Turner said the 200 members of the Lawrence Bicycle Club have been working for more than 10 years to create bike lanes, educate cyclists and motorists and generally make Lawrence a more bicycle-friendly community. He said progress had been slow but that there had been progress — and this was not it.
"It annoys me to no end because all of the good work we've tried to do working within the system can be trashed in a heartbeat." Turner said.
Aaron Bartlett, Lawrence transportation planner and bicycle coordinator, said the streets in town with bicycle lanes were Louisiana Street from 11th to 13th streets, 15th Street west of Wakaraus Drive, and 19th Street between Harper Street and Haskell Avenue. The Traffic Safety Commission also removed parking along both sides of Naismith Drive to Sunnyside Drive so that bike lanes could be added eventually.
Bicyclists also need to follow traffic laws, he said.
"When I look back over the last few years, most of the bicycle-car accidents happen to be KU students running stop signs," he said.
Turner said that a plan to create a bike lane across campus had been rejected by the KU administration, but that bike lanes were not the only answer.
Tim O'Brian, Lawrence resident, participated in the Critical Mass ride, pulling a trailer with his 6-year-old daughter, Rosie. He said that Lawrence is very bikeable, but that
Eric Nicholson, Lawrence resident and head mechanic at The Bike Shop, 818 Massachusetts St., said he thought bicyclists needed more respect from motorists.
it could be safer.
"It's a little scary sometimes, but a lot of drivers are good about watching out for bikes," he said. "I just assume I'm invisible."
"When they see a biker they should slow down rather than give it more gas," Nicholson said. "People come in the store every day and say they almost just run over."

Government releases part of oil stockpile
NATION
WASHINGTON — Citing a prospective heating oil crisis, the government is putting 30 million barrels of its petroleum stockpile into the market, hoping the additional crude will ease tight supplies and reduce prices before the arrival of winter. Analysts were uncertain how much of an impact the additional oil will have as it is released from the government reserve over the next 30 days, and Republicans called it an election-year ploy aimed at getting votes for Vice President Al Gore.
"This is not political," said Energy Secretary Bill Richardson.
Ambassador to Israel faces security inquiry
WASHINGTON — The State Department has suspended the security clearance of U.S. Ambassador to Israel Martin S. Indyk pending an investigation into alleged security violations, a State Department official said Saturday. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was no indication of espionage in this matter and that Indyk had cooperated fully with investigators from the State Department and FBI.
"At this time there has been no indication that any intelligence information has been compromised," the official said. "This is a question of security procedures that have not been followed."
Indyk, 49, is barred from handling classified materials and must be escorted inside the State Department building.
Dozens of Iraqi Christians seek political asylum
SAN DIEGO — Nearly two dozen Iraqi Christians have been bused from Mexico to the United States, where they applied for political asylum three days after they and more than 100 others were detained in a shabby Tijuana hotel.
the group was taken across the U.S. border to the San Ysidro Port where officials said their applications were being processed. Mexican authorities had said hours earlier that they planned to release all 133 of the Iraqi Christians, known as Chaldeans, to the United States in the days ahead. The Chaldeans have been gathering the past few months in Tijuana and had planned to seek asylum in the United States, fearing religious persecution if they returned to their homeland.

The Natural History Museum lacks the space to display the University of Kansas' growing collection of bones, but KU scientists say a dinosaur display hall would solve the space problem.
Craig Sundell, graduate student in vertebrate paleontology, is currently digging in Wyoming and hopes to find more of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the head of which he stumbled upon in the spring. He thinks the T. Rex could be the largest ever uncovered.
Sundrell is also searching for the rest of what could be the largest brachiosaurus ever found. He calls it Bigfoot.
"It's three times larger than the others we've found," he said in a telephone interview from Lusk, Wyo.
These specimens would join the family of brachiosaurus,
one skeleton of a small hipsolothodon, two duck-billed dinosaurs and a triceratops head that are stored at the Natural History Museum already and could be displayed in a new building.
One option is to display the dinosaur bones in a building addition to Dyche Hall, home of the Natural History of Museum. It currently houses KU students' dino discoveries. Another proposal is to build a new facility on West Campus.
Brad Kemp, assistant director of public affairs for the museum, said there was not yet a time line or budget for the project.
"We envision it as a life sciences hall, where the lessons of environmental change of the past can teach us about environmental processes today." he said.
A discovery of a brachiosaurus family found in the summer of 1997 made the life sciences hall a possibility. The Natural History Museum possessed some dinosaur fossils prior to that, but a crew of KU vertebrate paleontologists found two complete adult skeletons and about 70 percent of a juvenile
skeleton. The find was something that would draw visitors to a hall devoted to dinosaur exhibits.
The family was originally discovered in the 1940s during a late-summer dig on a Wyoming farm by a group of Nebraska paleontologists, who covered up the fossils intending to return the next summer to continue their work. But when World War II broke out, the site was forgotten.
Larry Martin, curator of vertebrate paleontology for the Natural History Museum, pinpointed the location of the site several years ago.
The University paid the farm owner about $30,000 for the fossils, said Kemp, who went on the dig that found the family.
Martin said the University had many spectacular dinosaur.
"If we get the space, we have the potential to have a dinosaur exhibit as good or better than the ones in Chicago and Denver," he said, referring to exhibits at Chicago's Field Museum and Denver's Natural History Museum.

Jewish foundation gives students a free trip to Israel
Birthright Israel wants to encourage visits to homeland

Kanson staff writer
Eve Kate, Birmingham, Ala., junior, went to Israel last year and was moved by the sight of a sunrise over the Dead Sea.
The cost of her trip — nothing at all — was equally amazing. The same opportunity will be available to as many as 40 students during winter
Katz took the trip through Birthright Israel, a foundation committed to providing Jewish students with a trip to a land their religion has deemed both home and holy.
"If you are Jewish, it is your right to live in Israel," Katz said. "That's the point of Israel."
But students do not have to be especially religious or involved in Judaism to take the trip. Last year, 6,000 students from around the world participated in Birthright Israel, representing a diverse group.
"If you are Jewish, it is your right to live in Israel."

Sue Shafer-Landau, 'faculty adviser for Hillel, a Jewish student organization at the University of Kansas, said diversity was one goal of the program. She interviews students who apply for the trip and said she would try to select a cross section of the
Jewish population on campus.
"The trip was designed to reach out to Jews who are not involved," she said.
In fact, the foundation began as a way for Jewish students to maintain their identity through universal bonding.
"It's about Israel," Shafer-Landau said. "It's about Jewish identity. It's not really about teaching people an orthodox way of practicing Judaism."
She said the trip could be especially meaningful for Jewish students, who represent a minority at the University of Kansas. it
instilled pride in the 20 students who went last year, she said, and allowed them to see a world where everyone is Jewish.
The trip is funded by Birthright Israel, the State of Israel and the Jewish Federation.
Students who identify with the Jewish people and have never gone to Israel with a peer group are eligible for the trip. Shafer-Landau said. Applications for the trip are available at www.hillel.org and are due Thursday, Oct. 5.

Police laptops help to extend officer mobility
By Rob Pazell
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas public safety officers have increased their mobility and time spent on the street with the addition of laptop computers in their squared cars.
The computers, which are set up on a wireless land system, were put in squadr cars this year as part of the Public Safety Office's long-term goal to go to a paperless system.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said that when the system was fully in place officers would be able to fill out and file reports on the laptops and send them to the main system for review, saving them time in the station.
The laptops and hardware were purchased through a $33,000 Cops More grant. Mailen said the computers were mobile personal computers selected for their ruggedness, durability and mobility, which allows officers to use them to take field notes.
"It gives greater exposure to officers," he said. "It puts the officer out on the street for a longer interval."
Mailen said one of his favorite aspects of the system was its detachable, backlit keyboard.
"You can actually remove the keyboard and set it on your lan." he said.
The backlight feature allows officers to work in the evening without turning on the lights. Mallen said the detachability and backlighting features gave officers the ability to work while maintaining visual observance of what's going on around them.
"The guys working at midnight don't have to find a well-lit lot," Mailen said. "They can pop on their backlight and go."
For now, officers can use their laptops to access e-mail in the Carruth O'Leary Hall parking lot. Mailen said the public safety office was in the process of setting up other antenna sites in two separate north and south districts. This would keep officers in their districts instead of having to move to a central location to access the system or write reports.
"Carruth O'Leary was our test site," Mailen said. "We've seen it work, and it works quite well, so we're going to expand upon them."
Officer Josh Leon said he and his fellow officers thought the laptops were great because they opened up possibilities for versatility.
"We don't want to come up here and spend an hour on a report," he said. "Being able to get things done away from the station is a big plus."

Perspective 'Tolerance' groups foster intolerance
Last June, the Supreme Court ruled that as a private organization, the Boy Scouts of America has a First
Scouts of America has a First Amendment right to exclude homosexuals from leadership positions. Because it doesn't accept federal funds, it can regulate its own membership and have leaders whom it believes personify the principles in the Scout Oath and Law, which obliges scouts to be "morally straight."
As Chief Justice William Rehnquist wrote, "The Boy Scouts asserts that homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the values embodied in the Scout Oath and Law." Thus, compelling them to admit gay Scout leaders would "force the organization to send a message, both to the youth members and the world, that the Boy Scouts accepts homosexual conduct as a legitimate form of behavior."
So, the Supreme Court has ruled. Case closed, right? Not so fast.
mate form of behavior."
Immediately, gay- rights groups, politicians, and assorted champions of tolerance nationwide took to the airwaves vowing not to tolerate the Supreme Court's ruling. And no way were they going to tolerate the Boy Scouts' policy on homosexuality.
Though the Court invoked the settled interpretation that "the First

Amendment protects expression, be it of the popular variety or not," the Human Rights Campaign, a prominent gay-rights group, called the ruling "a travesty of justice." And Cozza Scott, a former Scout banned for advocating homosexuality, denounced the Boy Scouts for using "the Scout Law and Scout Oath as weapons of hatred, discrimination, and bigotry to hurt people who are gay."
The backlash didn't stop there, though. Many of the Boy Scouts' longtime financial backers – such as Levi Straus, Wells Fargo, and JP Morgan – began withdrawing their support, collectively worrying that Scouting might not coincide with their "commitment to diversity." But it didn't stop there, either.
Last month at the Democratic National Convention, six Eagle Scouts were invited to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. But as they arrived onstage, they were greeted by boos and jeers from members of the California delegation, who claimed to support "gay scouts."
One delegate, Alex Mallonee, said, "I think it was odd that they had the Boy Scouts up there, given the situation. It was pretty insensitive."
Mallone apparently didn't see anything insensitive about booing and screaming at a group of kids reciting the Pledge of Allegiance
This shameful episode aside, the broader issue of tolerance remains. These days, it seems that gay-rights groups, while demanding tolerance for gays, simply won't tolerate any person or group who believes homosexuality is wrong.
No matter a person's motivations, for those groups, disagreement is discrimination, and dissenters are branded bigots and homophobes. What many gay-rights groups can't seem to accept, though, is that sometimes decent, sincere people have different fundamental beliefs. That's real diversity. And that's exactly what we have here.
The Boy Scouts isn't a breeding ground for future Klansmen, nor a modern-day Hitler Youth, schooling boys in the finer arts of gaybashing and brainwashing them into bigots. It's simply a private, voluntary organization that insists upon the freedom to teach the traditional values it holds most dear. America, by law, has that freedom. And if homosexuals don't like it, they shouldn't try to disrupt or hijack the Boy Scouts, but rather use that same freedom to start their own organization and teach the values they esteem, confident that others won't interfere.
As I see it, the true test of tolerance is tolerating those with whom you disagree. Following the Court's decision, the Boy Scouts said, "We respect other people's right to hold differing opinions and ask that they respect ours."
Now that's tolerance. How odd that gay-rights groups, who have made such remarkable progress during the past few decades in gaining tolerance (even acceptance) for their beliefs, seem mired in the very intolerance they condemn in others.

Demonstrators deserve explanation from Allen
It seems that many of you wish this whole Terry Allen flasco was over. "He is a good man," one Free for All caller said, while another rather cunningly pointed out that the sexual assault of one student-athlete protested by, among others, the KU Pro-Choice Coalition paled in comparison to the murder of billions of helpless babies through abortion.
The collective headache that surfaced before the first home game Sept. 16, as demonstrators distributed handbills protesting the conduct of the good coach Allen, seems to be rooted in
What do we think that these groups are asking for, after all? Aztec open-heart sacrifice? A public lynching to satisfy their bloodlust? Are they

P
There is, however, an obvious danger in accepting such statements at face value and moving on. We've all heard the argument that complacency smacks of complicity; this is an unflattering thought to be sure, both in regard to respected figures in the Athletics Department and to ourselves. Yet the apparently high comfort level of an entire campus in accepting the nonverdict of a powerful Athletics Department is precisely what was being protested by the demonstrators.

sexual assault and mental abuse of a fellow student. We also know that accepting such "punishment" adds insult to a very troublesome injury, one we may not be able to (or wish to) relate to at all. Sexual assault alone has severe and lasting implications for the victim; can we even imagine the personal repercussions of knowing that such injury meant so little to a football coach that a wrist-slapping suffaced as a reprimand to the alleged perpetrators?
Effectively, what happens when we agree to speak no more is that we accept both the "punishment" of the offending football players and the reluctant apology of Allen. By not asking for an explanation as to why such a protocol was seen to have suffered at the time, we are complicit in the student-athlete's continuing humiliation and the self-interested and manipulative behavior of Very Important Administrative Officials.
Let us make something clear. The goal of the students distributing handbills at the game was not to call for Allen's dismissal. I doubt the protesters were driven by the drama of an Elizabeth-esque revenge plot. My understanding of the day's events has convinced me that the relatively nonoffensive act of distributing handbills was far from a picnic in this particular situation.
Rather, the aim was to make it clear to the powers-that-bear that KU students will not accept marginalization, manipulation and victimization to allow a university department to avoid the stench of scandal. The student groups involved would like to make sure that KU students and members of the community are aware of what happened and the repercussions of tacit approval. The flyers suggest that a letter of inquiry be sent to Bob Frederick, athletics director, requesting an explanation of Terry Allen's actions.

Editorial
Cell phones disruptive to students
Cell phone users should turn off ringers while in the classroom.
Although public cell phone use has become mainstream all over campus, users should refrain from phone use in certain places such as the classroom.
Students sporting extra facial appendages can be found all around campus. Although students should be aware that everyone around them is listening to their conversation, there is no problem with students using cell phones as they wait for the bus or during their free time.
Cell phones often are useful tools, but this convenient possession is irritating when it rings during class. It is vital that people remember to mute their phones while in class.
Catchy tunes such as "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," while amusing, are very disruptive. The interruption typically leads to a perturbed professor and an apologetic student searching frantically through his or her book bag.
The simple task of muting phones prior to class will not only spare everyone from added distractions but also will save the phone owners from embarrassment.
Although the University does not have any specific provisions regarding cellular phones, professors do have the option of asking a student to leave the class for the rest of the period.
Under the University's guidelines for academic misconduct, professors are given the authority to set reasonable rules for classroom conduct. Disrupting class is grounds for academic misconduct.
The easiest way to avoid class disruption is to leave the phone at home. For the students who must constantly be reachable, do yourself and everyone else a favor: Turn the phones off during class.

Special to the Kansan
Leah Robinson hates to ask for help — especially when it comes to her daughter Annika, who's now nearly 5.
"I brought her into this world, and I will take responsibility for her," said Robinson, St. Louis senior.
Annika is one of Robinson's many responsibilities these days. In addition to being a full-time parent, she also is a full-time architectural engineering student and plans to graduate in December with a B average.
Robinson was 17 when she gave birth to Anmika. The pregnancy was unexpected, but she said she never regretted her decision to raise her daughter.
"I thought about adoption," Robinson said. "When it came down to it — when she was born — she was just such a blessing. My mom was a foster child who was never adopted, and she really swayed me when it came to Anika."
Robinson broke up with her then-boyfriend, Annika's father, during the pregnancy, and he soon ceased to be part of their lives. Even today, Robinson said she had no contact with him and was demanding child support.
Despite this hardship and the fact that many teen mothers never graduate from high school, let alone college, Robinson persevered. She said she never questioned going to college. The closest school with an accredited architectural engineering program was the University of Kansas, and Robinson was soon accepted and enrolled in classes.
"Proximity was very important to me," she said. "And KU has a great program."
Robinson and her parents decided it would be best if Annika stayed in St. Louis with them, which she said was a hard decision.
Friend and fellow engineering student Shree Watson, Independence senior, also has hended a hand. Like Robinson, Watson is a mother. She has a 2-year-old son, and said she and
Her first semester at the University was a difficult one. Everything was fine academically, she said, but the homesickness and missing her daughter took its toll.
Robinson said baby sitters hadn't been too big a problem. Once, when she had to meet with a professor, his wife watched Annika.
"That was really difficult because I felt like I wasn't a mom," she said. "I seemed more like a baby sitter because my mom was doing all the
"I will never hesitate to ask my friends to baby-sit if I need to go to the lab or I have something going on with school," she said. "But I won't ask people to baby-sit if I have a date or something social going on. I don't want to impose."
things with her I should be doing."
need of a baby sitter in the evenings. In addition to working part-time in Lenexa for an engineering firm, Robinson also is an active member of the Society of Woman Engineers, National Society of Black Engineers and the Tae Kwon Do Club.
Robinson said that in Fall 1998, she found her rhythm. She was doing well in school, and things were looking up. She and her mother discussed it, and although her mother didn't know whether it would work, Annika, then nearly 3 years old, came to live with Robinson.
"I missed her," Robinson said. "And I felt like it was my duty to raise her. I wanted to bring my daughter up with my ideals instead of my mother's."
With Annika living with her, life was complicated. Robinson often found herself at Learned Hall, home of the School of Engineering, until the early hours of the morning, with Annika
"She knows her way around Learned better than most freshman," Robinson said.
Despite that Annika attends school during the days. Robinson often has found herself in
Robinson share a special bond.
"She's just someone I can relate to," Watson said. "She works so hard trying to pay for it all. Child care is so expensive. It's also harder for her because she doesn't have her daughter's father there, where I still have my son's father living with me and helping."
Robinson said money was one thing she always worried about.
"I got to the point last year when I didn't want to open bills because I didn't know how I was going to pay them," she said.
Although money is tight, Robinson does have help. She received an architectural scholarship and a minority engineering scholarship. She also receives grants, loans and subsidies that help her make ends meet. Robinson's mother helps out when she can, but Robinson said she never expected help from anyone.
She also never expects special understanding from her professors.
"I've never asked for any special consideration." she said. "I don't want that."
Florence Boldridge, director of diversity programming for the School of Engineering, said Robinson was a very independent woman.
Boldridge would know. She first corresponded with Robinson more than five years ago when Boldridge was looking through her application and decided that because of Robinson's excellent academic record in high school, she was a good candidate for a scholarship.
"She's a single parent, a minority and a female," Boldridge said. "But if you ask her, she would never tell you that those are strikes against her. ... She's a very hard worker and a very strong woman."
Robinson said she wanted to raise her daughter to be a strong woman, too. She said Annika had turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to her.
"I've gained so much from having this child in my life," Robinson said. "I guess I am missing out on doing the things a normal college student is doing, but you really can't miss something you never had. I am definitely happier with her in my life."

Online sales cause University headaches
Continued from page 1A
wanted the bookstores to do about the advertising situation.
"They haven't given us any alternative except not to advertise our domain name," Reid said. "I don't know if it would do any good to advertise toward a different market. We don't sell textbooks to people in Russell, Kan."
The conflict between the two retailers resulted after the Athletics Department added an online component to its KU merchandise sales this summer. Previously, the department sold merchandise at events only.
Warren said the addition of KUstore.com to the Athletics Department Web site was a way for the department to earn higher returns on its investment in Internet technology. Besides providing information and selling merchandise, the department plans to ultimately sell tickets and accept contributions via the Internet.
He said the online store also served as a new source of needed revenue.
"The revenue to support our athletic programs has to come from somewhere, and our goal is to minimize the impact on ticket prices." Warren said. "The only way we can continue to operate is to identify new sources of revenue. We've maximized our revenues from the basketball program, and we reach a point where we have diminishing returns on some of our revenue sources."
Currently, both the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation and the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation receive a share of revenues from licensed merchandise sales. The Union receives 1 percent of all merchandise sales, while the KUAC receives 1.4 percent. If the Union or the Athletics Department sells an item, each receives both its shares and the retailer's share of the revenue.
All profits made from KUstore.com will go into the Roy Williams Educational Fund, a scholarship fund for athletes. Profits made by the bookstores go to the Kansas Union Memorial Corporation, which runs both the Kansas and Burge Unions.
While it was still too early to gauge the revenues earned from the department's online merchandise store, Warren said the KUAC brought in $200,000 to $400,000 annually from merchandise sales at sporting events. The KUAC earned about $4,000,000 profit during fiscal year 2000.
The bookstore earned about $129,000 net income last year, Reid said. He said he didn't think the Athletic Department's online merchandise sales would affect the bookstores' game-day sales, but it could lower sales generally.
"It could confuse people in the marketplace and decrease revenue at the Union," Reid said. "If the Union were to continue not showing a net income, it could result in increasing student fees to fund the Union."
Warren, however, said the competition between the two retailers could benefit customers.
"I think it will be a real benefit to students to see some competition on campus from a price standpoint," Warren said.

point, but they do sometimes abuse that," he said.
GTAs, students try for comprehension
Continued from page 1A
Wojnowski said this typically occurred when students who didn't regularly attend a class placed blame on the language barrier so they could drop the class without suffering consequences.
Joy Wrolson, GTA in the theater and film department and a member of the Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition, said it could be prejudiced to single out international GTAs for their language skills.
"To some extent, I think the problem lies with the student not being patient, taking the time to ask questions and waiting for a response," he said. "The general assumption is that English is spoken worldwide."
Eutalillo Munoz Jr., Topeka junior, said he didn't mind making an effort to overcome the language barrier. Munoz' Spanish 111 GTA, Jacqueline Canard, is from Ecuador.
"Other students don't understand where the TAs are coming from," he said. "Because they don't understand, they don't care."
Munoz said he hadn't experienced any problems with Canard.
"She relates to the class really well," he said.
Munoz added that when students complained about the difficulty of learning Spanish, Canard would tell
them how tough English was for international students to learn.
"She says that Americans aren't as proficient in foreign languages when they teach in other countries," he said. "International GTAs are required to be more proficient here."
Required to pass tests
Christa Hansen, Applied English Center coordinator, said student complaints hadn't created huge problems at the University for quite some time. She said that in 1984, when the Speak Test began to be administered, complaints lessened.
Hansen said international GTAs were required to pass one of the two English proficiency tests the University gives to be eligible to teach at the University — either the Test of Spoken English or the Speak Test.
ransen said that although the Test of Spoken English was offered internationally, most GTAs at the University also took the Speak Test, which is administered only by the University.
"The test makes sure lingual accuracy is understandable." she said.
Both tests evaluate English proficiency and consist of graduate students listening and responding to tape recordings. The tests differ, however, in the amount of tasks the graduate students must execute.
The Test of Spoken English consists of 12 tasks the student plays in different situations. These situations require the student to persuade, argue
or present an opinion. Students must score 50 out of 60 to pass this test.
The Speak Test consists of five graded sections which focus strictly on proficiency through a series of oral and written tasks. The tasks include reading a paragraph aloud, presenting opinions of random topics, sentence completion, telling a story after viewing a series of pictures and creating and presenting lesson plans and schedules. Students must score 240 out of 300 to pass this test.
Hansen said students who didn't pass the Test of Spoken English typically did not pass the Speak Test without seeking further training. In such a case, Hansen said, the student is required to take Classroom Communications for International Teaching Assistants, which is also offered through the Applied English Center.
Hansen said that the course helped GTAs improve their teaching skills in addition to improving speaking skills and that she had seen dramatic changes in students who had taken the course. She also said the TAs deserved credit for their work.
"From what I can tell, I do think international TAs add a lot to the classroom experience," she said. "They're to be applauded because they're asked to use another language at a high level, and they do it well for the most part."

Y2K Act rarely used
Critics say law hurt consumers, shielded business
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Worried that a flood of Y2K cases could cripple the economy, Congress last year passed legislation to limit lawsuits related to the computer problem and save
U. S. businesses billions of dollars in legal costs.
Government investigators now report that companies
26
invoked it in court just 18 times, which a congressional critic saw as a "fitting postscript" to Y2K alarms that never materialized.
Sen, Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who voted against the legislation last year and commissioned the General Accounting Office report, said the study confirmed that the bill was mostly used by big companies to delay relief to consumers.
"This is a lesson for the next time
special interests ask Congress for special legal protections." he said.
Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn, who worked to pass the measure, said that it helped businesses concentrate on solving the Y2K problem.
"The Y2K Act encouraged businesses to be proactive in addressing and remedying their Y2K challenges, rather than defensive and fearful of a predicted flood of lawsuits," he said.
The report by the investigative arm of Congress showed that defendants used the Y2K Act 12 times in federal court and six times in state court. The suits involved class actions by customers, disputes between businesses and disputes against insurers. Compilers said they had no way to tell how many times the law was invoked to keep cases out of court.
In many cases, defendants invoking the Y2K Act eventually settled the cases or had them dismissed. Ten cases were pending when the report was finished last month.
The law allowed defendants to move some state cases to federal court, challenge class action lawsuits and force plaintiffs to use mediation.
The Y2K problem occurred because of the fear that some computer programs, especially older ones, might
SOME EXAMPLES IN THE AS-YET-UNRELEASED GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE REPORT:
A suit against electronics retailers, such as Circuit City and CompUSA, accused the companies of selling computer hardware and software that they knew were not Y2K-compliant. The defendants used the Y2K law's higher standards for notice and jurisdiction to have the case dismissed.
A California plaintiff sued computer maker Packard Bell NEC for selling personal computers susceptible to the Year 2000 bug. The suit said the company refused to repair the malfunctioning date, which required a user to enter the correct date when the computer was turned on. A judge dismissed the case under the Y2K law and the plaintiff appealed, but the case was settled out of court.

fail when the date changed to 2000. Because the programs were written to recognize only the last two digits of a year to save space, such programs could have read the digits "00" as 1900 instead of 2000.
Man defends lottery actions
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Richard Lee Knowlton says he's not a criminal. If he was, he argues, he could have stolen untold thousands of dollars from his former employer — the Kansas Lottery — without leaving a trace.
"There are ways to do it and I could have done it," he said. "But that's not what happened and that's not what this is about."
Knowlton, 55, is accused of steal
ing $82,332. He faces 268 theft, computer crime and misconduct charges filed by Kansas Attorney General Carla Stovall's office.
A hearing in his case, dealing with evidence seized during a search of his home last week, is scheduled for 2 p.m. today in Shawnee County District Court.
A preliminary hearing, which will determine whether Knowlton goes to trial, is set for Tuesday. Oct 31.
He was the lottery's information resource manager from 1992 until
his resignation in March. He maintained the lottery's computer system for games involving scratch-off tickets.
He said he converted the 11 tickets as part of a personal — and unauthorized — investigation of suspected holes in the lottery security.
"What I did was wrong, I admit that," he said. "But I didn't think there was anything else I could do. And I never once thought I'd be charged with a crime or be put in jail."

By Jason Franchuk
The KU football team spent Saturday patching holes and plugging leaks discovered in its first two games of the season.
For all the concerns coach Terry Allen had about his team before Saturday's 42-0 win against Southern Illinois, it seemed that the Jayhawks found ways to caulk each of the gaps. Kansas will now get to find out how good it is at patchwork as it prepares for conference play.
Kansas (2-1) did what it could facing an overmatched Division I-AA opponent. Allen targeted senior quarterback Dylan Smith as one of his concerns for his below-average play during the first two games. But Smith threw three touchdown passes and was relieved in the fourth quarter because the game was going so smoothly. The punt team — a major headache for Kansas in its first two games — did not have any blunders.
Between the way Smith ran the offense more efficiently and how the defense kept forcing the Salukis to punt, the Jayhawks found some rhythm on Parents/Band Night. If there was one area Kansas did not get to work on, it would be crafting a long scoring drive. Thanks to turnovers and strong special-teams play, Kansas had scoring drives of 25, 2, 5 and 14 yards.
"We really did some good things early." Allen said. "Then Dylen came back and three touchdown passes. It's hard to argue with that."
smith is known for his dislike of cold, rainy weather like the conditions Saturday, but he played well after another slow Kansas start. After a sluggish first quarter, which included a couple of long passes that were dropped by Jayhawk receivers, Smith found Roger Ross for a 23-yard touchdown strike with 3:50 left in the first half. It came on the same type of over-the-middle pattern that Ross had dropped a pass on during the first quarter.

See www.kansan.com
"I knew we could get it going." Ross said.
After all the struggles Kansas encountered, even the replay crew was caught off guard by the sudden Kansas success on Ross' touchdown catch. The MegaVision board, at first, showed the previous Smith pass attempt — an incomplete pass to Terminale Fulton — instead of the scoring one.
But the video crew got on track, and so did the Jayhawks' offense. Smith found Fulton 1:45 later on a 48-yard touchdown pass to make the score 14-0 at halftime. For Smith, it was a relief to finally get a lead.
"There were a couple dropped balls that I would have liked to have back," Smith said. "But I think my confidence got me through it."
For Kansas, this game was about confidence. The win, Allen figured, was in hand. So much so that he used all of practice last week to prep for this Saturday's game at Oklahoma and the beginning of Big 12 Conference play. Most of the players were unaware of the scheme until Allen confessed after the game.
"I've never done that before." Allen said about looking past an opponent. "Never."
The plan, which Allen called a "calculated risk," could have backfired. Instead, the Jawhawks can now focus on Oklahoma.
In Norman, Okla., Kansas will try to earn respect that Allen said the Jayhawks had neither received nor earned. Succeeding against a Division I-AA team might not have the Sooners shaking in their cleats.
Still, the Jayhawks put up the numbers it needed to convince themselves that they can compete in the upcoming weeks.
"I think Coach wanted to get us ready for Oklahoma," junior cornerback Andrew Davison said. "But we didn't show many of the plays we have ready. There will be some surprises."
terbacks see field time.
David Winbush celebrated his 21st birthday by leading the Jayhawks with 78 yards rushing on 15 carries and two touchdowns. The defense surrendered only 165 yards.
Allen was happy with the number of players who saw action. On offense alone, Kansas had 10 running backs and two backup quar-
Of course, doing it all without allowing a score was what the Jayhawks wanted Saturday.
"It was important for us to get that," Allen said.

'Hawks get weekend split
Despite injuries Kansas scores first conference victory
By Yositaka Ebisawa sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
One could be amazed at the obstacles the Kansas women's soccer team faced yesterday.
No Hilla Rantala, the program's single-season scoring record holder who was forced to the sidelines because of a knee injury. A loss of home field advantage because of the surface condition of SuperTarget Field. Heading into the game after the season's worst defeat — a 4-0 shutout loss to Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., Friday.
And now, two other key players — freshman forward Jennifer Ray, the Big 12 Conference's player of the week two weeks earlier, and sophomore midfielder Lindsay Hunting, who was awarded KU Credit Union Jayhawk Classic All-Tournament Team last week — sat on the bench
yesterday because of injuries.
But the Jayhawks demonstrated mental toughness registering their first conference win this season against Oklahoma State 1-0 at the Olathe District Activity Complex in Olathe.
"I was just happy because Friday's game was embarrassing," coach Mark Francis said. "I was glad that we were able to bounce."
After a scoreless first half, Kansas (5-5, 1-1 Big 12 Conference) opened the second half with increased intensity, attacking the Cowgirls' goal with 17 shots in the second half alone.
"I was pretty happy because I saw it going in but I wasn't sure if it was fully in the goal." Valento said. "So after it was called a goal, I was kind of surprised because everybody else said. 'No goal, no goal, no goal.'"
The effort paid off in the 55th minute, when sophomore midfielder Brianna Valento redirected junior midfielder Melanie Schroeder's corner kick. The ball barely crossed the goal line.

Friday's conference opener against Oklahoma matched the worst defeat for Kansas this season.
"We were absolutely horrendous," coach Mark Francis said. "There is not really much else I can say about it."
The Sooners, which headed into the game in the wake of a three-game winning streak, outshot the Jayhawks 17-7 and gave Kansas its second shutout loss this season.
If there was anything positive about the game, it was freshman goalkeeper Sarah Gonzalez' play.
"Sarah made a few nice saves," Francis said. "I don't think she can be faulted on any of the goals allowed tonight."
Gonzalez, an Overland Park native, made her first start as a Jayhawk and stopped four shots.
Kansas will continue its quest to make the Big 12 Conference Tournament this weekend, playing against Iowa State on Friday and Nebraska on Sunday. The site hasn't been decided yet.

Sooners loom as potential turning point
The Kansas football team once again swished its mouth with the taste of victory Saturday night, slowly getting out that bitter taste of the Southern Methodist flasco.
And while the Jayhawks didn't exactly dazzle anyone through most of the first half against Division I-AA Southern Illinois, they did improve as the game progressed. Terry Allen said after the game that he used much of last week to prepare for next Saturday's opponent — Oklahoma.
Allen's game plan was good, especially because the Jayhawks take on the No. 14 Sooners on the road. Kansas has won its last three meetings with Oklahoma, but the last time the Jayhawks played a ranked Sooner team, it was 1995 and Kansas was ranked No. 7.
The SMU game was supposed to be huge, but this game against Oklahoma should be even bigger. Kansas can kill two problems with one game. A victory against Oklahoma would silence Allen's critics, at least for now, and end a hideous road swoon in the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas also was labeled the Big 12's dark horse by many, but after that season-opening loss, less people would expect this team to gallop out of Norman, Okla., with a win. And one Jayhawk could also have a large target on his jersey.
Cornerback Andrew Davison has proclaimed himself the best corner in the Big 12, and he'll give a chance to test that claim against a team that likes to pass.
The Sooners are no longer a traditional wishbone team. Oklahoma quarterback Josh Heupl completed 27 of 35 passes for 324 yards and two touchdowns against Rice Saturday. He also ran for a score.
Although Davison might be too confident as a cornerback, he wasn't satisfied with simply winning against a less-than stellar Alabama-Birmingham team, and that trait will be needed by many Jayhawks as the rugged Big 12 schedule progresses.
The Jayhawks have shown signs they could pull off an upset. Quarterback Dyck Smith has gotten protection when passing. When he has scrambled, he's found someone to pass to and he's run for gains when no one's open.
The Kansas defense, meanwhile, has become stronger. The Jayhawks allowed 165 total yards against the Salukis. More importantly, the Jayhawks allowed 43 passing yards.
But although Southern Illinois and Oklahoma have shades of red for school colors, the similarity ends there. As Allen's practice schedule indicated, the Salukis were part of preparation for a much stronger Sooner team.
Now is the time for Kansas to break the shackles of mediocrity and give people reason to discuss once again in which bowl the Jayhawks will be participating. Beating Oklahoma is a big task, but the Jayhawks need to win.
Kansas takes on rivals Kansas State and Missouri after Oklahoma, and Jayhawk faithful tend to frown upon not beating at least one of its most hated opponents.
A win Saturday would fill Allen and his team's mouths with even sweeter tastes, but a loss could be poison for the Kansas coach.

Volleyball team breezes by Cyclones on the road
Myatt's block helps 'Hawks win conference battle

The Kansas volleyball team had the top down, the music up and the wind in its hair as it took a Saturday night pleasure cruise though Cyclone country.
in the Big 12 Conference in Ames, Iowa.
"Even though we were on the road, I felt like we were in complete control all night," coach Ray Bechard said. "Overall, the win was a great team effort."
The Jayhawks easily took down Iowa State, 15-7, 15-6 and 15-11 and improved to 11-2, 2-2
Bechard said he was pleased with his team's performance, especially in serving — an area where Kansas had faltered during their loss to No. 1 Nebraska last Wednesday.
"We served the ball very well," Bechard said. "I was very pleased with our performance tonight."

sophomore defensive specialist Jamie Morningstar. Iowa State, which drops to 2-9 and 0-4 in conference, recorded only three aces.
"Iowa State's really young and they really have improved a lot." Bechard said. "They started out the season slowly and in this conference it's hard to make up ground."
Also defensively, Danielle Geronymo, senior middle blocker, dove to the floor 13 times while recording digs for the 'Hawks. Teammates Jennifer Kraft, sophomore defensive specialist, and senior outside hitter Nancy Bell pulled out 11 and 10 of their own.
"We had 58 digs to there 40," Bechard said. "I thought we really went after some balls and did a good job prolonging rallies — and we won those rallies."
Senior Amy Myatt, outside hitter and Iowa native, agreed.
Myatt's team-high stats were recorded in front of friends and family who drove in from her native Iowa City to watch the match.
On the offensive side of things. Myatt led the Jayhawks with 11 kills, while Cyclones' senior middle blocker Stacy Nicks led the opposition with 10 kills of her own.
"I always like to play in Ames because my family can easily drive in and watch," Myatt said. "But that's not unusual, we
"I thought we did a really good job defensively," Myatt said. "We blocked them better than I felt we had in a while."
In this case, however, the Myatt clan got a special treat as they watched her carry the Jayhawks to victory in a close third game.

Place-kicker Gary Kral knew it when Pittsburg State went into the fourth quarter Saturday trailing Central Missouri by 10 points. But Kral wound up kicking a 51 yard field goal with 32 seconds remaining and the Gorillas escaped with a 23-20 victory against the previously unbeaten Mules.
Other Kansas college games included Graceland 24, Baker 21; Ottawa 16, Southwestern 9; Emporia State 24, Missouri Southern 0; Tabor 14, Bethany 7; Sterling 15, Saint Mary 6; Benedictine 28, Culver-Stockton 10; MidAmerica Nazarene 25, William Jewell 15, and Missouri Western 23, Washburn 13.
At Lamoni, Iowa, Brian George rushed for three touchdowns and 126 yards, helping Graceland beat Baker in the Heart of America Conference. Graceland trailed by 13 points midway through the first quarter, but George rallied the team with two first-half touchdowns.

"If we're 23, there's a lot of bad football teams, because I don't think we're the 23rd best football team in the country by any stretch of the imagination," Holtz said yesterday. "We're just trying to get better, and I didn't think we played particularly well against Mississippi State."

The Bulldogs (2-1, 0-1 SEC) might disagree. After all, South Carolina quarterbacks Phil Petty and Erik Kimrey combined for 330 yards and two touchdowns against Mississippi State's tough defense.
Bingham, one of the strongest players on the team, was expected to back up Jason Lohr and Jon Clanton.

San Francisco and Dallas, two teams that played each other in six NFC championship games and have combined to play in 13 Super Bowls, are both 1-3 this season.
Not even Troy Aikman or Emmitt Smith could turn around the Dallas fortunes. Like Rice, they are veterans of the three straight NFC championship games between the teams in the mid-1990s that preceded Super Bowl titles, could turn around the Dallas fortunes.
Aikman returned as the Dallas starter after missing two games because of his ninth concussion. He was 14-of-25 passing for 186 yards with a touchdown, an interception and a fumble.
San Francisco's Jeff Garcia was 16-for-26 passing for 178 yards and four touchdowns, his third straight multi-TD game, and Charlie Garner ran for a San Francisco record 201 yards, matching what Philadelphia's Duce Stalley did against the Cowboys just three weeks earlier.

Jayhawk offense sputters, then ignites

Scoring flurry during second, third quarters propels Jayhawks to win

By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan writer/scripter
The Jayhawk offense struggled for nearly two quarters against Division IAA Southern Illinois but, thanks to a trio of wide receivers, scored a flurry of points in the second and third quarters and won 42-0.
The Salukis, named after a breed of dog, and the Jayhawks battled deep into the second quarter with neither team able to score. Then came the Jayhawk spurt, and the dog pounding was on. The Jayhaws scored 28 points in a 7:14 span at the end of the second quarter and the early part of the third quarter. Three Jayhawk wide receivers figured prominently in that 28-0 run.
Junior wide receiver Roger Ross started it, catching a 23-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Dylan Smith with 3:50 to play in the second quarter that put the Javahaws up 7-0.
Ross said his touchdown gave the Jayhawks a lift and more confidence.
"That changed a lot," he said. "We all just said, 'OK, we can score on them.' We knew we could score on them. Somebody just had to make a big play."
Ross' touchdown catch was his second in two games and clearly was a boost to his morale.

"I just like catching the ball," he said. "I love seeing it come into my hands."
Junior wide receiver Termine Fulton struck the next blow against the Salukis, taking a Smith pass 48 yards for another touchdown and making the score 14-0.
Fulton said he felt good about the game and praised both Smith and the defense.
"Dylen kept his composure and helped us keep our composition in the first half." Fulton said. "The touchdown felt good, but the victory feels even better. It is a team effort, and the defense really stepped it up in the beginning."
Junior wide receiver Harrison Hill put the finishing touches on the spurt when he returned a punt 42 yards to the SIU 5-yard line, setting up a 5-yard touchdown run by senior running back David Winchub with 11:36
"It worked decently," he said. "I wish I could have scored. I should have scored on it. I got some really good blocks, and I just took it up the sideline, and there was nobody there until the 5-yard line."
to play in the third quarter. That made the score 28-0.
Hill said the punt return went pretty much the way the Jayhawks practiced it.
Briefly ...
Earlier in the week, Kansas coach Terry Allen had expressed concern about using senior center Bob Schmidt as long snapper because of the effect it would
have on punt coverage. The other long snapper is a a tight end and is faster than Schmidt. Allen opted for protection over speed. Schmidt performed well and even caused a fumble on an SIU punt return in the fourth quarter. He also recovered the fumble.
The Jayhawks suffered a few injuries Saturday. Junior defensive lineman Ryan Atkinson left the game because of a sprained kneecep. Sophomore linebacker John Stiles suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear, and Chuck Jarvis didn't play because of a medial cruciate ligament strain on his right leg.

Notre Dame can't block Spartans' roll
The Associated Press
EAST LANSING, Mich. — A 10-second play could have an impact lasting for months.
The pivotal play was Jeff Smoker's 68-yard touchdown pass to Herb Haygood with 1:48 left, which gave No. 18 Michigan State a 27-21 win against Notre Dame on Saturday.
Many predicted a mediocre season for Michigan State, but the Spartans (3-0) just keeping winning. Coach Bob Davie, whose Fighting Irish (2-2) dropped out of the Top 25, takes the blame for the game-winning play.
Davie called time out with 1:59 left to align his defense when Michigan State had a fourth-and-10 at its 32. He decided to send cornerback Brock Williams, who was lined up over Haygood in the right slot, on a blitz. That left free safety Tony Driver, who was lined up about 20 yards off the line of scrimmage, with the job of defending Haygood.
"I'll take the responsibility," Davie said. "I made the call. It was the same one that had caused the fumble two series earlier. We had them third-and-20, and they got the 10 yards. We called timeout because we were confused, but that was the play I wanted. We brought the corner, they made a sight adjustment, and the kid
Smoker was just glad to have another opportunity to make a play after turning the ball over twice in the final 13 minutes a fumble at Michigan State's 12 and an interception at the 2.
"If I was going down, I was going down blitzing."
S
Notre Dame was stopped on fourth and one at the Spartans 3 after Smoker's first turnover, but the Fighting Irish were able to convert the second into a go-ahead touchdown on Julius Jones' 2-yard run.
"It was great to have them put the ball in my hands on fourth down," Smoker said. "I'm just glad I could come through after making those two mistakes. I didn't want to let my teammates down, but at the same time, I knew I had to come back and make a big play."
T. J. Duckett, who had 26 carries for 141 yards and a touchdown, was not surprised Smoker came through with the right pass to the right receiver at the right time.
"I sensed a big play out of Jeff as soon as I stepped in the huddle on fourth down," Duckett said. "He had that fire in his eyes, and I knew something good was going to happen."
"I looked up, and all I saw was cheerleaders," Haveood said.
The Spartans have beaten Notre Dame four years in a row. It's the longest losing streak the Fighting Irish have had against a team since Miami beat them four times from 1983-1987.
Michigan State has won nine consecutive games at home, while the Irish have lost eight straight on the road.
"It hurts. It stings," Davie said. "We did so much to scratch, claw and fight our way back into the game. Then we lost it just when it looked like we had it won."
The Spartans will play Northwestern next Saturday at home. The Wildcats upset Wisconsin 47-44 in double overtime on Saturday.
The irish are off this week and play Stanford at home Oct. 7.

Olympics
U.S. trying for gold in beach volleyball
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — Only after he served two aces to even the game and spark a five-point run into the gold medal match of Olympic men's beach volleyball did the United States' Dain Blanton realize what happened.
"We battled for an hour to get 10 points, and then I scored 50 percent of that in five minutes." Blanton said yesterday, shaking his head about the sudden surge that gave him and teammate Eric Fonolimoana a 15-12 semifinal victory against Portugal's Luis Maia and Joao Brenha.
It was the fourth straight triumph for the ninth-seeded Americans in an improbable Olympics that will conclude with the ultimate test — a final for the gold tomorrow against Brazil's third-seeded Ze Marco de Melo and Ricardo Santos before 10,000 screaming partisans at Bondi Beach.
The women's medal matches take place today, when Brazil's second-seeded Adriana Behar and Shelda Bede, the world champions, will face defending bronze medalists and top-seeded Natalie Cook and Kerri Pothartir of Australia. Another Brazilian pair, Adriana Samuel and Sandra Pires, play for the women's bronze against Japan's Yukiko Takahashi and Teru Saiki.
Both U.S. women's teams lost in the quarterfinals.
Brazil was expected to dominate in what is the second most popular sport back home, behind soccer. Three of its four teams made the semifinals,

compared with only one from the United States, where the game originated in California.
The men's final of the sport's first Olympics in Atlanta four years ago featured two American teams, with Karch Kiraly and Kent Steffes winning the gold.
In Ze Marco and Ricardo, the Americans face one of the world's top teams and a pair they've never beaten in four ties. Seeded third, Ricardo and Ze Marco easily won their opening match and then barely avoided an upset in the second round by Austria's Nikolas Berger and Oliver Stamm.
"The Brazilians are tough," Blanton said. "There's a lot of pride."
Yesterday, Ze Marco and Ricardo held on for a 15-13 win over defending bronze medalists John Child and Mark Heese of Canada in an 80-minute match. They then dismantled the German pair of Jorg Ahmann and Axel Hager 15-5 in the semifinals.
U.S. soccer team defeats Brazil
Blanton, 28, and Fonoioanao, 31, take pride in having overcome a spotty season to peak at the best possible time. They were given little chance to medal before the Olympics, considered lacking in cohesion and balance with two players of similar styles and strengths in a sport that usually requires complementing teammates — one at the net and one to play back.
Norway match to decide gold
The Associated Press
CANBERRA, Australia — Tiffeny Milbrett knows she got away with one. Fortunately, on an off night for the U.S. women's soccer team, one was enough to get back to the gold medal name.
The United States defeated Brazil 10 in the semifinals of the Olympic tournament yesterday when Milbrett ran into the goalkeeper while chasing the ball, allowing Mia Hamm to score in the 60th minute.
"The game can be a matter of inches," coach April Heinrichs said. "It can be left up to just something out of your control. We kept our head, and at the end of the day we find ourselves advancing, and that feels terrific."
The Americans, who won the World Cup last year and the Olympic title four years ago, will play Norway for the gold medal Thursday in Sydney. The Norwegians, who lost 2-0 to the U.S. team in a first-round game, edged Germany 1-0 in the other semifinal.
"Dominating them in the first game gives us a lot of confidence," goalkeeper Siri Mullinix said. "But I don't think in a gold medal game it's going to be a walk in the park."
Brazil will play Germany in Thursday's bronze medal game.
The American attack looked lethargic against the fast and improving Brazilians. But two plays — Hamm's goal and a super save by Mullinix 10 minutes later — made the difference.
The goal came when Brandi Chastain took a free kick 40 yards from the Brazil net. Lorrie Fair, only 5-foot-3, outlawed a defender in the
box to head the ball and keep it alive. Milbrett gave chase and collided with goalkeeper Andreia, leaving Hamm alone beyond the far post to tuck the ball in for her 127th international goal.
The Brazilians thought Swiss referee Nicole Petigat should have disallowed the goal for interference with the goalkeeper, who lay injured on the field for several minutes but stayed in the game. Milbrett, the victim of a kick to the chest by the goalkeeper in the previous game against Nigeria, pleaded guilty this time.
"She definitely could have called a foul," Milbrett said. "I was just trying to go for the ball. It's a fat chance when you're going up with your head against keepers that are stretching their arms, so I just wanted to wreak a little bit of havoc in there and I did. I obstructed her, and Mia was following the play."
The Brazilians nearly tied it in the 70th minute, when Roseli was free inside the box with only Mullinix to beat. But the American goalkeeper batted the ball wide with her right hand for the only difficult save made in the game.
The Americans took only one shot, a wild 35-yard free kick. In the first half, and 'were outshot 15-6 for the game. Brazil took 12 corner kicks to three for the United States.
The U.S. team improved to 14-1-2 against Brazil. But the performance was such that Michelle Akers, who just arrived in Australia and watching the team for the first time in person since a shoulder injury forced her retirement, called the Americans flat and tired during the first half.
"Sometimes the games don't turn out exactly how you plan them," Chastain said. "You have to find a way to win in these situations."

Teammate's death inspires diver's gold
SYDNEY, Australia — Facing her most troublesome dive from 33 feet above the water, Laura Wilkinson ignored the pain and remembered an old friend.
She hurled herself off the platform, creating barely a ripple as her wisp of a body sliced through the water to cap an inspiring comeback over tragedy, injury and the Chinese.
The 22-year-old Texan took control in the third round with a near-perfect reverse 2 1/2 somersault while the top four — one after another — dove in with a thud.
"It's good to fight for something." Laura Wilkinson
Wilkinson became the first American woman since 1964 to win the 10-meter platform, rallying from fifth place to end China's 16-year stranglehold on the event. "It's been a long time," said Wilkinson's coach, Ken Armstrong. "It was time."

She was admittedly nervous about the takeoff and keeping her head away from the platform. Botching the dive during the
So, Armstrong pulled his pupil aside and whispered a message in her ear.
"Do this for Hillary," the coach implored.
He was referring to Hillary Grivich, a teammate and close friend of Wilkinson who was killed three years ago in a car accident.
"It kind of took me by surprise." Wilkinson said. "But it was another motivation. It's good to fight for something."
She ripped through the water to earn scores ranging from 8.5 to 9.5, actually increasing her lead. Wilkinson clinched the narrow victory with her final attempt, relegating Li Na to silver as China

Chiefs prevail with passing
The Associated Press
DENVER — A week ago, Elvis Grbac threw a career-high five touchdown passes. Yesterday, two were enough.
Grbac rallied Kansas City from a 12-point deficit with the TD throws, including a 22.yarder to Derrick Alexander with 2:21 left, helping the Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 23-22.
Grbac's 15-yard scoring toss to tight end Tony Gonzalez midway through the third quarter made it 19-14, and after an exchange of field goals, the Chiefs still trailed 22-17.
Overcoming an almost nonexistent running game, the Chiefs (2-2) went 80 yards in eight plays for the clincher. Grbac passed 8 yards to Kevin Lockett on third and seven, and 13 yards to Gonzalez on third and two. Tony Richardson ripped off a 15-yard gain, and Alexander split two defenders, making a leaping catch at the goal line.
Grbac completed 21-of-33 passes for 250 yards. Gonzalez set career highs with 10 catches for 127 yards.
Gus Frerotte, starting for the
Broncos (2.2) because NFL passing leader Brian Griese was sidelined by a shoulder injury, was 18-of-31 for 208 yards. Frerotte's fumble on a sack thwarted a Denver scoring drive in the final period, and he was intercepted by linebacker Marvcus Patton with 1:40 remaining.
Denver cornerback Ray Crockett had two interceptions, returning one 26 yards for a second-quarter touchdown and picking off Grbac in the end zone early in the final period. defense-dominated first half,
In a defense-dominated first half, the Broncos took a 12-7 lead.
The Chiefs took the opening kickoff and went 80 yards in 11 plays, capped by Richardson's 1-yard TD run. Grbac was 5-of-6 on the drive, including four passes for 60 yards to Gonzalez.
Kansas City didn't cross midfield again in the half.
Denver went 79 yards on its first series but had to settle for Joe Nedney's 22-yard field goal. Frerote passed 23 yards to Rod Smith and 15 yards to Dwayne Carswell, both on third down, but the Chiefs held inside the 5.
since spraining his left ankle in the season opener, had a 24-yard gain, helping set up Nedney's 20-yard field goal with 8:53 left in the second quarter.
Five plays later, Crockett stepped in front of Derrick Alexander and returned the interception for a score with 6:40 remaining. Denver's 2-point conversion attempt failed.
Terrell Davis, with his first carry
Moments later, Richardson fumbled at the Kansas City 40, but the Broncos failed to capitalize. After fullback Howard Griffith dropped an apparent touchdown pass, Nedney, victimized by a high snap, was short on a 50-vard try.
Denver went ahead 19-7 on the opening drive of the third quarter, marching 77 yards in seven plays. Frenette hit Smith on 15 and 22-yard passes, and the Broncos kept possession when Mike Anderson's fumble was nullified by Chester McGlockton's holding penalty. Anderson bolted 16 yards up the middle for the score.
The Chiefs countered with a 74-yard drive of their own, culminating in Grbac's TD throw to Gonzalez.
Royals' win has Indians chasing wild-card spot
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Cleveland Indians' only route to the playoffs is through the wild card this season. Cleveland's run as AL Central champions ended yesterday, as Blake Stein pitched seven scoreless
The Associated Press
innings and led the Kansas City Royals to an 9-0 win.
"It doesn't matter if you win the division," Cleveland's Jim Thome said. "It's getting in and winning the whole thing that's important. We're not worrying about the division; we're worrying about getting in."
Royala
Cleveland, the only team to win the AL Central before Chicago this season, trails by one game in the wild-card race.
"We really haven't thought about winning the division for the last two weeks." Thome said. "We've been trying to get in as a wild card. That's been where we've been the whole time. Chicago has played well and they deserved it."
The Indians headed home to play a unique daynight doubleheader today. Cleveland plays AL Central champion Chicago in an afternoon makeup game before playing Minnesota at night in a regularly scheduled night game.
Since 1900, only once has there been a three-team doubleheader at the same ballpark. The St. Louis
Cardinals beat the New York Giants 6-4, then lost to the Boston Braves 2-0 on Sept. 13, 1951, at Sportsman's Park.
Stein (8-4) allowed four hits and has given up just two earned runs in his last 24 innings. The right-hander has won seven of his last eight decisions.
"I'm throwing strikes with all three pitches," Stein said. "Not to say that they are great pitches, but when you throw three pitches for strikes it throws them off balance."
The Royals scored five runs in the third off Charles Nagy (2-7) and took a 6-1 lead. Grega Zeaun led off with a walk and went to third on a soft single to center by Jeff Reboulet. Johnny Damon followed with an RBI single.
After a sacrifice bunt, Mike Swweeney hit a sacrifice fly. Jermaine Dye walked and Joe Randa added an RBI single, scoring Damon with his league-leading 131st run, two short of the Royals team record.
Jamie Brewington came on and gave up consecutive RBI singles to Carlos Beltran and Mark Quinn.
Nagy gave up six runs, four hits and two walks in 2 2-
innings, raising his ERA to 8.21.
"We can't have too many more days like today," said Indians manager Charlie Manuel. "Every game we play cuts into our time. We got beat, and we didn't deserve to win."
The Royals added two more runs in the seventh on Quinn's two-run double off Chris Nichting. Quinn now has 77 RBI, which leads all AL rookies.

Museum exhibit showcases rise of hip-hop music
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — They seem unlikely items for a museum exhibit — sneakers, handbills, a microphone.
But viewed along with clothing, lyric sheets and album posters, they document the rise of one of the biggest cultural phenomena of the last 25 years: hip-hop.
"Hip-Hop Nation: Roots, Rhymes and Rage" opened Friday at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the first stop in a national tour.
"The world is embracing a new attitude, and that attitude is influenced by hip-hop," said museum director Arnold Lehman.
The exhibit originated at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and was expanded for its New York debut.
"Hip-hop has empowered so many of us, it's unbelievable," said guest curator Kevin Powell.
There are hundreds of pieces to look at, from graffiti art to Public Enemy's set list.
Fashion looms large, with clothing donated by names from every era of hip hop. There's a hat from Kool DJ Herc, tennis shoes from Run D.M.C., a suit worn by the Notorious B.I.G. and a jersey worn by DMX.
"We wanted this to be very visual," Powell said.
We wanted this to be a visual. Power And The first section, "The Block Party," introduces viewers to DJing, MCing, dance and graffiti art with demonstrations and interactive terminals.
"The Roots" looks at hip-hop's origins, and showcases audio equipment from the 1970s and early 1980s.
Section three deals with the mid-1980s to 1990, considered hip-hop's creative "Golden Era." It introduces acts like the political Public Enemy, the feminist Queen Latifah and the gangsta N.W.A.
"Controversy: Outrage and the Rise of Gangsta Rap" focuses on the 1990s, which were marked by events like the deaths of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.
The last section, "Pop Goes the Culture," examines how hip-hop has come to dominate American youth culture.
The exhibit will be at the museum through the end of the year, accompanied by workshops. films and performances.

Pierce listed in fair condition
WWW.KANSAN.COM
Player stabbed in Boston fight early yesterday
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Former Kansas basketball player Paul Pierce is in fair condition at a Boston hospital after he was stabbed multiple times in the face, neck and back early yesterday morning outside a Boston nightclub.
Pierce, who now plays for the NBA's Boston Celtics, was attending a private party at the Buzz Club in Boston's theater district. At about 1 a.m., Pierce, 22, was involved in an altercation with another group of partygoers in the club's pool room and was stabbed more than five times, said Boston police representative Marielle Burns in a press conference.
"He was very lucky," former Celtics coach K.C. Jones said to the Associated Press when he left the hospital. "He had the angels on his side."
She added that Pierce was with several friends — including one unidentified Celtic teammate — who drove Pierce to the hospital. While no immediate arrests were made, Boston police are looking for a black
male suspect.
Jayhawk coach Roy Williams expressed his sympathies for Pierce.
"I am shocked and saddened by last night's events," Williams said in a written statement. "Paul Bierzo is one of
M. M. KING
the greatest young men I have ever been around. I have been in contact with the
Celtics people and the hospital, and I expect to be in touch with the family later today. Right now, it's just too early to tell what the final word on this will be."
Williams, who left yesterday on a recruiting trip, may stop in Boston this week to visit Pierce, said sports information director Mitch Germann.
The police are investigating whether the fight involved the rap group Made Men, who attended the party. Police still are unsure of what incited the altercation.
"We're not sure what the alteration was about." Burns said. "We're not even sure Mr. Pierce and his friends were involved in what this alteration was about."

Cocaine use speeding up across nation
Bv Melissa Davis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Cocaine, once considered an upper-class luxury drug, is accessible to college students — even at the University of Kansas.
And Allen, McPherson senior, knows first-hand just how dominant cocaine really is in Lawrence.
"Cocaine is much more prevalent in Lawrence than people suspect," said Allen, who refused to give his last name because of legal consequences.
Allen was addicted to cocaine for two months then quit cold turkey because he said his addiction was too costly.
"My addiction got very, very expensive," he said. "I was spending about $300 a week on coke."
Allen used to spend about $40 on about half a gram, or about four laps of coconut, every day.
The thing that forced him to stop using was what drew him to the drug in the beginning.
"Cocaine is a rich person's drug — it's glamorous," he said. "It's more expensive, so it's not to be better."
But Allen is not alone. According to the National Household Survey on Drug abuse, an estimated 1.8 million Americans used cocaine in 1999 — up 300,000 from 1997.
A drug dealer in Lawrence who goes by the name "Smoky" said 95 percent of his clientele was current or former KU students.
And, according to the 1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, people between the ages of 18 to 25 years old — typical college age — had a higher rate of cocaine use than any other age group.
Smoky, who dealt more than just cocaine, refused to comment on where his supply came from.
"Pot is the most popular drug, but most of my money comes from coke." he said.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that one of the biggest concerns about drug use was a long-term addiction. Rock said he was aware that the drug had emerged in Lawrence and warned that it was not healthy or safe for students or society.
"There is no safe, appropriate recreational use of cocaine," Rock said. "We are not immune to the problem of cocaine in our society."
A recent National Institute of Drug Abuse research report on cocaine stated that the high from coke came from an imbalance the drug gives to the brain's pleasure and alertness receptors. When the brain tries to correct the imbalance, a high is produced.
The NIDA stated that side effects of cocaine use may include a decrease in appetite, an increase or decrease of sexual desire and can cause sleepsiness. When the drug wears off, a person might feel depressed, irritable or paranoid.
According to the NIDA, cocaine is made from coca leaves that are processed into a powder. Cocaine is most often snorted, or in the case of crack cocaine, smoked.
COCAINE USE STATISTICS
— Edited by Kimberly Thompson
About 1.8 million Americans were cocaine users last year, which is from 1.5 million in 1997.
Overall, men have a higher rate of cocaine use than women
— Source: National Household Survey on Drug Abuse
Based on the additional data sources that take into account users under-represented in the NHSDA, the office of National Drug Control Policy estimates the number of chronic cocaine users at 3.6 million.

Professor files discrimination. retaliation lawsuit
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Architecture and urban design professor Dimitrios Dendrinos filed a federal discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Urban Design and a fellow professor Sept. 11.
The complaint said the school and department of urban planning discriminated against Dendrinos, professor of architecture and urban design,
because of his Greek national origin. The complaint lists as defendants John Gaunt, dean of architecture; Eric Strauss, urban planning graduate program chairman; and James Mayo, professor of architecture and urban design.
Dendrinos, who has been a KU professor since 1975, is seeking in excess of $75,000 in each of 11 counts, a total of about $22,000 for damages in the lawsuit.
Jim Wisler, Dendrinos' attorney, said he thought Dendrinos had a good chance of winning the lawsuit.
"Of course each case has to stand on its own merits," Wisler said. "But there's certainly a pattern of discrimination and retaliation against Dimitrios Dendrilos throughout the department and the School of Architecture."
The lawsuit also claims that
The complaint said the defendants subjected Dendrinos to ethnic slander, derogatory remarks and intimidation. It also claims Dendrinos lost promotions, received low performance evaluations and low salary increases because of his national origin.
Dendrinos suffered from a pattern of assault and battery from Mayo.
Rose Marino, associate general counsel for the University, said the University had not been officially notified of the lawsuit.
Gaunt also refused to comment on the lawsuit.
"Not having seen any papers, I really can't comment on it," Marino said.
Wisler said Dendrinos filed a similar case in Douglas County Court that was dismissed at their request Aug. 16 so that they could refile it in federal court.

Complaints could spur investigation
By Lauren Brandenburg

Kansas staff writer
By Lauren Brandenburg
The association then will decide whether the findings merit a formal investigation of the University.
The American Association of University Professors is investigating allegations made by six University of Kansas professors last spring regarding inconsistencies in the promotions and tenure processes.
"In April, faculty from KU contacted the Kansas conference of AUP telling us they wanted to talk about some complaints," said Dolores Furtado, national association executive committee member and professor of microbiology at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Furtado said she was part of a group of four professors throughout the state who came to listen.
"Having heard them, and in listening to peers and colleagues, we found the situation sufficiently troubling and decided we should at least pass on the report to the national AUP," Furtado said. "There may be inconsistencies in how individual faculty were handled."
She said the state conference gave the report to the American Association of University Professors, the association's national office, in June for review.
FACULTY
COMPLAINTS
"My understanding is that they are in contact with faculty obtaining documentation that we did not." Furtado said.
What: The American Association of University Professors is looking into complaints made by six University of Kansas professors about inconsistencies in promotions and tenure.
What's next: The AAUP will gather documentation and conduct more interviews to determine whether to proceed with a full investigation.
we only listened and heard. They will analyze in greater detail."
Provost David Shulenburg said no one from either the state or national Association of University Professors had contacted the University.
"We were not sent the findings, and no one from the state chapter ever contacted me or anyone involved with the University committee on promotion and tenure," Shulenburger said. "It's strange that no one at the University has been contacted and there is a report out there somewhere."
She said the initial investigation may be inconclusive, or it may result in a fullfledged investigation. Furtado said even if the documentation wasn't consistent with national standards, the next step would be a long way down the road.
Shulenburger said the University had nothing to do with the process of compiling the report and was never asked to respond to any of the state findings.
"All I could say with certainty is that the national AUP has begun getting more documentation for more detailed analysis," Furtado said.
Furtado said she believed the American Association of University Professors would look into how the University followed procedures in the association's handbook. She said the handbook consisted of policies and procedures that provided a national standard.

Student arrested for taking traffic barricade
A KU student was arrested at 2:25 a.m. yesterday in the 1300 block of West Campus Road for theft of a traffic barricade belonging to the KU Police Department, the KU Public Safety Office said.
An officer on patrol saw the student carrying the barricade, the office said. The student dropped the barricade when approached and walked away.
He said he had picked it up at the intersection of West Campus Road and Memorial Drive and that taking it was a bad choice, the public safety office said.
He was issued a notice to appear and was released.
Five cars burglarized, stereos and CDs stolen
Stereos and CDs were stolen from five cars Thursday night in a parking lot near Jayhawker Towers, the KU Public Safety Office said.
"Oftentimes, individuals look at series of vehicles," Sgt. Troy Mailen said. "They are looking for stereo equipment, CDs and things laying out in the open. When they see a number of vehicles with these, they will strike those vehicles."
The total damage to the cars was estimated at $1,750. The stereos and CDs were valued at $5,532
Police have no suspects in this case, but Mailen said two young men were arrested in the process of burglarizing cars early Friday morning in a similar incident in the Gertrude Sellars Pearson-Corbin Hall parking lot.
Mailen said the two were from out of town and were released from the Douglas County jail on bond.
Odd clothing identifies robber at Total Station
An armed male robbed a Total Station at 10:56 p.m. Sunday at 1010 N. Third St., Lawrence police said.
Duwone Maurice Flowers, 30, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated robbery, possession of crack cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Det. M.T. Brown said the gas station clerk began laughing when a man wearing a white hard hat, gray sweatshirt, orange shirt around his head, gloves and blue jeans entered the store.
The suspect walked toward the counter and examined the panic
alarm before telling the clerk not to touch it, pointing the gun at the clerk and demanding the money in the register. Brown said.
The man took all the money in the register except the $1 bills before he left, Brown said.
When police arrived, they noticed a woman using a pay phone across the street. Brown said. The woman said she had seen a man wearing a hard hat walking down the street and then saw him again later as he was running the other direction in a white tank top and jeans. The woman said the man looked like someone she used to work with and identified him as Flowers.
Brown said police later stopped Flowers' van and found drug paraphernalia and clothes from the robbery but did not find the money.
Flowers was released from the Douglas County Jay at 3:30 p.m. yesterday because no charges were filed, a jail employee said.

Meeting provides forum to discuss traffic issues
Lawrence residents can voice their opinions about improving the K-10/23rd Street corridor at a public meeting from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 4, at the City Commission Room in City Hall. 6 E. Sixth St.
The public meeting will take place as part of the K-10/23rd Street Corridor Access Management Study, which is looking at how to reduce accidents and congestion and improve visual appearance.
"The 35,000 motorists who daily travel on the K-10/23rd Street corridor know its problems too well," said Aaron Bartlett, Lawrence transportation planner and project manager. "People feel the roadway is much more congested, less safe and more frustrating to traverse than it was five years ago."
An estimated 31,000 to 38,500 vehicles travel the 4.5 mile stretch of road between Noria Road, near the eastern city limit of Lawrence, and Iowa Street. More than 350 accidents occurred there annually between 1996 and 1999 — 45 percent of them in the middle of city blocks where driveways for businesses and homes are located.
The study is being conducted by the city of Lawrence, TranSystems Corporation of Kansas City, Landplan Engineering of Lawrence and Jane Mobley Associates of Kansas City.
Lawrence city staff members and members of the consultant team will be present to answer questions and present possible improvements.

Milosevic's opponents claim presidency victory
NATION
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Slobodan Milosevic's opponents claimed victory in an election marked by fraud allegations and warned that the Yugoslav president may try to rig the vote in his favor.
No official results had been released from Sunday's election. However, the Democratic Opposition of Serbia party claimed its candidate, 56-year-old Voljsik Kostunica, had won the presidency.
The party said its poll watchers reported that Kostunica had an absolute majority and defeated Milosevic and three other contenders.
LIMA, Peru — Peru's opposition blasted President Alberto Fujimori for allowing his deposed spy chief to flee the country and dodge a bribery scandal, but analysts said the removal of the secretive power broker would help repair the country's tattered democracy.
The flight of Vladimiro Montesinos raised new tensions as Fujimori and his foes seek an amicable end to his 10-year hold on power. Montesinos arrived in Panama Sunday, where the government appeared almost certain to grant him political asylum.
Villagers leave homes to escape fighting
JOLO, Philippines — More than 36,000 villagers have fled their homes to escape a heavy military assault on the Muslim rebels holding 17 hostages on a small southern Philippine island, officials said yesterday.
Military officials gave no indication of when the fighting would end. Unconfirmed reports continued to grow of civilian casualties and heavy damage to villages from the attack, which involved about 4,000 troops. But the military continued to insist that only one civilian has been killed and four injured in the fighting.
Two bombing suspects are Indonesian military
JAKARTA, Indonesia — After initially denying any military involvement in bombings that have terrorized Jakarta, Indonesia's newly installed police chief admitted yesterday that two of 27 suspects arrested were armed forces members.
However, police Gen. Bimantoro said the two suspects had acted as individuals. He denied suggestions that the military as a whole was behind the deadly blasts.

Minority voter registration underway
By Leita Schultes
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Ladena Brown, Kansas City, Kan., senior, sat on Wescoe Beach yesterday morning, registering voters. She called out to minority students as they passed, reminding them of November's election for U.S. president.
She recruited minority voters because, although she doesn't have specific data, she doesn't think enough go to the polls.
"I just know that people I'm around don't vote," Brown said.
---
But Paul Schumaker, chan man of the University's division of government, said minority turnout wasn't as bad as Brown believed. Although the number of minority voters is slightly less than Caucasians, voter turnout is poor across the board, Schumaker said.
Brown, who is a member of the traditionally African-American sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha, said the sorority is sponsoring a voter registration drive. She said feelings of political ignorance were a major reason African Americans chose not to vote.
"I just know that people I'm around don't

White people, she said, were better informed simply because presidential candidates are White.
Schumaker agreed that minorities felt misrepresented because candidates maintained middle-of-the-road platforms that did not single out specific groups.
African Americans relate to other African American, Brown said. She said minority students registered to vote at the Alpha Kappa Alpha table rather than with Student Senators a few yards away.
But, no matter how much Brown tried to convince J.T. Thompson, Kilgore, Texas, freshman, to register, he said he didn't have time — at least not for this election.
But he would make time for a minority candidate.
"I would vote for a Black president," said Thompson as he left.
Gabriel Roland, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said neither George W. Bush nor Al Gore demonstrated genuine concern for minority issues.
"Anyone who really wants to help is not going to make a big, publicized event out of it," he said.

Clinton to nominate professor for council
Kansan staff writer
By Kursten Phelps
President Bill Clinton announced last week his intention to nominate the director of the University of Kansas Indigenous Nations Studies program for the National Council on the Humanities.
Donald Fixico, professor of history, will serve either a four- or six-year term on the council if his nomination is approved by the U.S. Senate. Fixico said he would know by mid-November.
"I think it's an honor certainly to be considered for the national council."
said Fixico, a member of the Sac & Fox, Shawnee, Creek and Seminole Native American tribes. "I hope the NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities) can continue to do something for all communities, including the ethnic communities."

Fixico: Appointed to National Council on the Humanities
Council members review grant applications, as well as make recommendations about policies, programs and procedures of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which provides funding for humanities programs throughout the country.
"It was something I was asked to be considered for. I've been reading proposals for the NEH for several years," Fixico said. "It's not anything you apply for. They kind of select you at random."
other things, has taught in exchange programs in England and Germany.
Fixico came to the University in 1999 from Western Michigan University and supervised the initiation of the Indigenous Nations Studies program. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma and, among
Fixico has published three books, including his latest, "The Urban Indian Experience in America," which was published this month. He also has edited two other books.
Bartholomew Dean, assistant professor of anthropology and Indigenous Nations Studies faculty member, said the nomination was a great honor for Fixico and the University.
"It's obviously a recognition of the world-class scholarship at the University of Kansas," Dean said. "It's fantastic news, and I'm glad to hear it."

"It's pretty rare students have a chance to call up people and get their news in person." Burger said.
Frederick said the old policy stated that the University would provide counseling for the individual but that it would let the legal side take its course. The new policy dictates that if any student-athlete reports being a victim of sexual harassment or assault to a KU Athletic Corporation employee, they are to advise the student to contact the police or to contact the police for them, he said.
Burger said the show was started to give students the opportunity to discuss on-campus issues. Ben Walker, student body president, was on the show last week, and JKHJ plans to have more guests in the future. Burger said.
Among the issues discussed last night were the Feb. 26, 1999, incident involving the alleged assault of a female KU soccer player, which Frederick said was improperly handled by the Athletic Department.

"I can't tell you how badly I feel about the incident," Frederick said. "All we can do is educate, educate, educate and hope that it gets through."
The changing relationship between KUAC and the Kansas Union also was discussed last night. KUAC is choosing to sell licensed KU merchandise on its own Web site, K U s t o r e . c o m Consequently, the Kansas Union's 30-second advertising spots on pregame radio were pulled after the first football game of the season.
"I feel badly that we weren't able to address the issue before the football season." Frederick said. "Maybe we could have avoided this."
Frederick ended on a lighter note and congratulated the women's volleyball team on its best start ever. He also expressed excitement about the new track and field coach, Stanley Redwine.

Perspective Diplomacy works better than missiles
I still remember the Cold War as a kid. I remember fearing that at any moment, something would go wrong, the missiles would fly and the world would come to an end. In fact, I believed that's how I would die. Then in 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, and I was ecstatic. At last, I thought, governments would destroy their nukes, and we would never live in fear like that again. Unfortunately, a decade later, many of our politicians still think we're in the Cold War.
At the horrific end of World War II, President Truman and others believed that as the only nuclear power, America could expect to have its way in mapping post-war Europe. After all, the only person in the room with a gun doesn't have to compromise or build consensus. But the Soviets got The Bomb, the Cold
War started and our policy shifted to "deterrence."
The theory of nuclear deterrence is a lot like the two guys in the movie *Reservoir Dogs* who, both suspecting the other of treachery, scream their heads off while pointing guns at each other. Both lunatics are thinking, if he tries to shoot me, I'll shoot him, and vice versa. So long as we both know it, neither of us dares shoot the other. Of course if no one whines

out a bigger gun, the other has to pull out a bigger gun too, triggering a nice little arms race.
With nuclear weapons, the stakes were a bit higher — say, the extinction of all life on earth, except for cockroaches. And while deterrence seemed to create stability, it always left the insane risk that somebody might just be stupid enough to push the button. So, for five decades, politicians blew national resources on missiles, and the world lived in fear.
As frightening as deterrence theory is, it does allow both lunatics to wise up. Since 1969, nuclear powers have been reducing their arsenals like same people should. The more nukes we destroy, I say, the safer we all are. Not everyone seems to agree.
Recently, one republican congressman on C-SPAN opposed proposed cuts in the number of nuclear missiles kept in marines.
The bruise left on my forehead from smacking it went away within a few hours.
"These missiles are crucial to our defense," he shrieked, "because they're the only missiles the Soviets can't find!"
Last year, the republican-controlled Senate refused to ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. This year's republican platform calls the treaty "an anachronism of obsolete strategic thinking."
Apparently "new" strategic thinking says we still need to blow up warheads periodically just to make sure they can still annihilate all life in a 10-mile radius. And America's goal of stemming global nuclear proliferation? Well, it was a nice thought.
rinally, George W. Bush and the republican platform insist we must deploy a missile defense system. This is opposed by Russia, China and every one of our allies. Why? First, it would violate the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and, supposedly, modern America keeps its treaties. Second, America could theoretically nuke anybody without repercussions. This destroys deterrence and could start a new arms race. Not wanting to be pushed around more than they already are, other countries would either build their own missile defense systems or build enough missiles to overwhelm ours.
That said, America doesn't have the technology for a working missile defense system and won't for decades. But what if it did and someone called our dare? If a rogue state shoots a warhead at us, and we succeed in stopping it, what then? Do we nuke everyone in a developing country run by an idiot for a dictator? Or perhaps we'll just stick out our tongue and say nanny-nanny, you missed? Either choice seems absurd.
Why deploy a missile defense system that costs billions, doesn't work, doesn't protect against terrorists smuggling in nukes and leaves America in more danger than before? Has diplomacy lost its appeal? It's as if some Republicans want to bring back the good old days of the Cold War. Forgive me if I'm not quite as nostalgic.

Perspective
Government decision divides family, town
Meet Aurora. Or is it Zachary? Whatever you choose, this child is like no other you have met.
Born as Zachary Lipscomb in an Ohio suburb, Zachary was not a "normal" child, under most classifications. His mother noticed that as a toddler, Zachary was more interested in dresses than action figures. He liked putting a blanket on his head to look like a girl instead of wanting to play baseball.
For years, Zachary's parents struggled with his non-conforming gender behavior.
last year, Zachary's parents gave up on the notion of subduing his behavior. They decided to treat him like a girl, just as he wished.
What followed not only rocked this conservative Ohio suburb, but it also, sadly, tore the Lipscomb family apart.
1
During the summer,
Aurora (a name
Zachary chose in honor
of the princess in
Sleeping Beauty) asked
to have his ears pierced
and even introduced
An anonymous tip was received by Franklin County Children Services, asking the court to remove the child from the home. A magistrate issued a temporary custody order, citing the idea that the child was suffering from an illness, and he was not receiving proper care from his parents.
Rupali Limaye columnist opinion@kansan.com
So the Lipscombs visited Aurora's school and informed the principal that their child would not be enrolled as Zachary, but as Rori, short for Aurora.
himself to the neighbors as a girl. His parents came to believe that it was not wrong to let their child express his gender in public.
Aurora suffers from gender-identity disorder. But why were the Lipscombs separated because of this illness?
So what is best for Zachary/Aurora? The problem is that not many studies have been done on the subject, and those that have are in disagreement with one another.
The question is not whether Zachary/Aurora wants to be a boy or a girl. The question is why did the government tear apart this family?
It seems evident that this is an unusual case, but in the circumstances, Zachary's parents did the best that they could. Obviously, they wanted him to act like a boy, and they tried to repress his feelings of wanting to be a girl. But after years of struggling, they decided it was in their best interests to allow their child to express himself however he chose. They at least attempted to be supportive of something that they did not necessarily agree with, but it made their child happy.
When does the government get to decide how parents should raise a child? I understand that it is pertinent when abuse or neglect is in question, but in this case, it was not. The Lipscombs, in most cases, are a dysfunctional family. But there are tons of families that have problems, and if the government tried to step in and tell parents what to do, there would definitely be a ruckus.
The most depressing part of this story is the well-being of Zachary. At his foster home, he is not allowed to wear dresses, and his foster parents refuse to call him Rori. As a result, Zachary is miserable, as he can't express himself. Worse yet, he is being told what to do by complete strangers.
Here is a case where the government is indeed conforming people against their will. It's too bad that this conservative suburb can't open its eyes for one moment and realize that it, not the Lipscombs, has committed the most atrocious crime of all.

Editorial
Exclusive dress codes continue
Local clubs discriminate through restrictive dresscode policies.
Discriminatory dress codes have no place in local clubs. However, exclusive dress codes persist in clubs throughout Lawrence.
Area clubs, including The Cadillac Ranch, Jack Flanigans, Los Amigos, Paradise Saloon and Tremors, have similar dress codes that prohibit bandanas, sweat suits, baggy pants and shorts, tank tops, motorcycle clothing, and National Football League and other sport jerseys. Flanigans' former dress code, which recently came under fire, was not the only one of its kind. Los Amigos also prohibits the wearing of FUBU clothing in its club.
Flanigans' defense to its former dress code was that it prevented possible factors that could start fights in the club. Although prevention is a valid concern, the club patrons are adults and know how to act.
There is an understanding that the owners are business people and must make a profit by recognizing their specific market, but that does not condone discriminating against groups of people by banning clothing that is connected with ethnic attributes.
There are no restrictions against individuals who have body tattoos, dyed hair or piercings. Dress codes that discriminate against clothing or accessories are unacceptable and discriminatory and violate patrons' right to free expression, a right that local businesses should uphold.
Club owners should not post dress codes that needlessly exclude specific groups of people. All local clubs with rigid restrictions should revise them to exclude any discrimination against ethnic groups.
After all, people should be able to express themselves through their dress without discrimination.

Letters to the editor Grades should be based on objectivity
I was very disturbed by the report in the Sept. 19th Kansan about the professor who measures student performance by meditating, Professor Nunley should be applauded for going outside the realm of traditional teaching and trying something new, but his approach is missing a basic teaching component: an objective measure of student learning.
Class discussions and online chat rooms can be quite effective, but one still needs an objective measure of whether students are learning anything — for the professor, and perhaps more importantly, for the students. Unfortunately, most courses only measure student learning two or three times during an entire semester (with a couple of tests and a final exam). In this class, students don't know how they are doing until the end of the semester, unless they are failing!
I imagine that students who failed this course could easily appeal their grade. There are apparently no permanent records of student performance to tell you exactly why a person failed — or passed.
I wonder if Professor Nunley would board an airplane in which the pilot had this kind of training, or get under the knife of a surgeon whose ability was judged through meditation rather than objective criteria?

Columnist's argument illogical, ridiculous
Cassio Futado's column in the September 21 Kansan was the most irresponsible and ridiculous piece of journalism I have read to date. It was nothing more than a collection of generalities and slanted insults. If Cassio Furtado really wants people to take him seriously, he should back up his assertions with some form of logical argument, rather than hurling insults like when he refers to Bush as someone who "reminds me of the Cretaceous period."
I'm tired of reading these trashy, juvenile pieces in the Kansan. It takes away the paper's credibility, (if it had any left) and it makes a mockery of good journalism. When I read your editorial page, it reminds me of the little hate notes girls used to leave one another in 8th grade. If your writers can't create a work with petty insults, they need to find another profession.

Columnist needs to focus on issues
I am writing in response to Cassio Furtado's column, "Bush unfit candidate for President," in Thursday's paper. I agree with his point on Bush making us "feel good," and being truthful about his past with drugs, but why tell us to not follow party lines when voting? I think that it is a very important aspect in the election this year.
There will be Supreme Court justices appointed, and new legislation in dealing with major issues during the next presidential term. People should definitely take into consideration their party affiliation, or what good are the political parties in elections?
I understand his attack on Bush's spelling of "subliminal," but Bush did attend Harvard and Yale and has realistic goals for our country. Bush's $198 billion prescription drug plan will quickly provide money to the states for the aging poor's drug coverage, while Gore's $775 billion plan, will take years to go into effect, and cost the United States a fortune.
Let's focus on the issues, rather than the fact of being glad to be "rid of George W. Bush news coverage," and saying that he will "embarass us." The Democratic party has done enough embarrasing for a few years.

Argument was not well-constructed
I am writing to express my disappointment in the arguments made by Karla J. Pierce of the Kansas Department of Revenue in favor of police asking for ID from those who appear young.
First, she uses money as a rationale. She says that underage drinking "costs the state of Kansas an estimated $388 million" per year. Monetary concerns should never be used to justify the infringement of civil rights. Improper diet costs the state millions in medical expenses. I don't think anyone would argue in favor of harassing the overweight.
Second, she says that harrassing those who appear to be young is better than the alternative of checking everyone's ID. She asks "would you want to live in that kind of police state?" The answer is no, but is that the only alternative? How about the alternative of infringing on nobody's civil rights?
Finally, her comments about the age restrictions on kindergarten, running for president and collecting social security are completely off point. Nobody is talking about doing away with the age restriction on alcohol. At least not yet. The argument is about violating citizens' rights in order to enforce it.
I would hope that by the time someone has risen to the upper levels of state government they would have learned to construct a logical argument, I guess that is asking too much.

Boy Scouts ruling promotes hate
Yet again, I'm surprised at John McCool's amazingly misinformed view regarding the Supreme Court decision and the Boy Scouts. He seems to have perused the 3-page majority opinion in a 5-4 vote, ignoring the 40-page dissent.
He also seems to be glossing over the fact that an organization serving millions of children stood in the highest Court and defined itself as a hate group. Now Mr. McCool, I'm going to explain very simply and slowly why a gay person might be offended by this ruling. I'll even type it slowly so that you can keep
up.
You are blonde. It's clear in the Kansas photo. Now let us pretend that every 2nd grade teacher in America begins teaching children that it's wrong to be blonde. Sure, it's debated whether or not it's a choice of yours, but you could dye it all sorts of colors. Whether or not you're still blonde underneath isn't so important, just so long as you're not flaunting it in public.
Would you want to fiscally support these lessons through your taxes or donations to charitable institutions? I hope this analogy is simple and clear enough to help you understand how ignorant and superficial your opinions are. Maybe next time you disagree with the queer community, you can track a member down and ask them why it bothers them. In the meantime, your right to "disagree" that the sky is blue doesn't mean you're not an idiot to argue the point.

University fails to monitor recruitment
According to your September 14 article, Provost Shulenburger is looking for clues about how to increase minority faculty recruitment. I suggest that he begin by asking why KU has ceased to monitor the recruitment and promotion of faculty.
In 1995, KU was found to be out of compliance with the legal requirements of the US Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contracts Compliance Programs. The OFCCP is the agency that mandates the existence of KU's Equal Opportunity Office. In their review, OFCCP found that the proportion of minorities and women in the applicant pool was higher than the proportion hired by KU. In other words, there was a serious problem with "underutilization" of women and minority applicants for faculty positions in many departments across campus.
Chancellor Hemenway then signed a conciliation agreement in which KU proposed a series of solutions to remedy the problem. But rather than solving the problem as they had promised, KU simply stopped reporting to the OFCCP. The legally mandated annual reports have not been filed since 1995! Their solution, apparently, was to cover up by no longer reporting the proportions of minorities and women in the applicant and hiring pools, making it impossible to determine if they were still out of compliance. When the Kansas University Sexism and Racism Victims Coalition learned of this situation, we requested that they provide us with the required data for 1996-2000, only to find out that not only has KUs Equal Opportunity Office not been reporting the data to OFCCP, it has not even been compiling the data. Rather than following their conciliation agreement, they stopped monitoring employment practices on campus.
KU administrators also apparently believed that if they quashed all complaints of discrimination that they could prevent OCCCP from discovering their continued lack of compliance.
This is the basis for the group complaint filed with the OFCCP by the KUSRVC (the complaint can be
downloaded from www.seekpeace.com/KUSRVC). KU is now facing the very real possibility that it will face sanctions for its actions, including the possibility that it will lose all federal funding This is a very serious matter, especially considering that Chancellor Hemenway has made the increase in federal funding the cornerstone of his proposed $2 billion restoration of KU's national ranking.
The truth is that Provost Shulenburger does not know how many minorities and women apply to be faculty at KU because the data are not being compiled. Therefore, he does not know whether the low proportion of minorities being hired into faculty positions is due to a low proportion of minorities in the applicant pool or to discrimination in the hiring process on campus.
Equally egregious is the fact that the Provost does not know how many minority faculty are applying for and being granted tenure and promotion to full professor. According to his office, these data are not compiled and the promotion review process is not monitored in any way. But without these data, it is impossible to determine whether or not there is a "glass ceiling" for minorities. The existence of such a glass ceiling could be a major reason why so many minority faculty leave KU each year; $29\%$ of the professors who left last year were minorities, while minorities only make up about $11\%$ of the faculty. According to the OFCCP, not monitoring the promotion process is another serious violation of federal regulations.
KU isn't simply in a recruiting slump, it's in violation of its own policies and federal and state law. Provost Shulenburger is right in being concerned, because for the past five years, his administration has blatantly violated requirements to monitor the entire employment process, including applications, hires, and promotions, and as a result, he now faces the potential of sanctions that could endanger KU's federal funding.

Band should be center stage at football games
A number of us who sit on the west side of the stadium are wondering why that God-awful rock music is played prior to each kickoff, drowning out our own band which is playing at the same time. We also are wondering why our outstanding band has been relegated to the horseshoe (for the second season in a row). Over on the west side, we can barely hear them on a still day and can't hear them at all when the wind is blowing into the stadium from the south.
We earnestly suggest knocking off the rock music altogether and relocating the band, which is a much greater asset to the University than this year's mediocre football team, on the east side where it can be heard.
If it is impossible, for some obtuse reason, to ditch the horrible music, how about turning the volume control down by at least two-thirds. Dog owners in Tonganoxie will appreciate it as much as those of us who sit on the west side. We are not hard of hearing.

Campus police should show more respect
Do KU police officers have any respect for people, especially students? Are they even trained to respond to something other than reports on stolen goods, break-ins, alarms going off in buildings, driving or parking violations? I have serious doubts. Why, you might ask.
On Saturday, September 23, after the football game, I had a guest of the University, and we both had nothing to do with the football game, in my vehicle. We were trying to get to the place the university had provided for him, an apartment at the Sunflower Apartments. We came upon an officer who was directing traffic south from Sunnyside Street onto Naismith Drive. I attempted to address the officer with a question, and was cut off immediately, and addressed as follows: "Hey buddy! You have to turn! Go ahead and turn now!"
I had no chance to say anything to the officer, who had no clue whether I was trying to get his attention because of an emergency, or if I had other intentions. When I didn't move immediately, he put his right hand on his firearm and repeated his command to make the turn south on Naismith. I'm not sure who or what gives a KU police officer the right to use his weapon for intimidation purposes, unless the officer is threatened. I'm also not sure who allows an officer of the law, who is supposed to "protect and serve," to ignore what a citizen is trying to tell or ask him.
This officer had no knowledge of what was going on, and, luckily, nobody's life was in danger. But, as a citizen I have to ask, what if? What if a person would have had an accident? What if a person being being robbed, killed or raped? Is this the attitude and respect we, as students, receive from the KU police department? Is this representative of the KU police officers' attitude towards students, towards emergencies, which are so much easier to deal with after they are over? If it is, maybe it is time for the administration to step in.
When addressing an officer, one usually is not asking if the officer wants to go and have beer, it usually deals with emergencies or questions. But I guess the KU police department doesn't operate by the high standards set forth by the governor of Kansas. Or, maybe, the serving and protecting are only directed towards themselves, with no regard for students.
Last but not least, I expect more respect from a person who doesn't know me, and who I'm encountering on the street while he's performing his duty. Being addressed as "buddy" is, to say the least, unacceptable. But again, we're coming down on the issue of treating students, aren't we. Personally, I would like for the police department to apologize, and the administration to investigate the police department's attitude and resulting behavior toward students and other groups on campus. But as it always goes, the administration won't care, and the police department is safe, so it doesn't have to change a thing.

Returning students boost liquor sales
Stores, police notice rise in alcohol use
By Meghan Bainum
Kansas staff writer
Local businesses notice when students come back for the fall, especially those involved with what for many KU students is the weekly — if not nightly — drinking ritual
Rob Pewtress, manager of Ray's Liquor Warehouse, 1215 W. 6th St., said he noticed increases in everything from the amount of cheap beer sold to the number of fake IDs that students tried to use.
Pewtress said that Budweiser, Coors Light and Natural Light beers were students' main choices. He said students came to his store between 10 and 11 p.m. Some students come already drunk.
Still, Pewtress said he was happy when students came back in the fall.
"It's always nice to have business pick up, of course, but it's also nice to have people other than the regulars," he said. "It adds a little more spice to my day."
Brian Edie, a bartender at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., said students arriving back in Lawrence definitely changed the number of people at the Granada's bar. But he said summer and fall had their good and bad points.
"When there's less people to serve it's less stressful of an environment to work in," Edie said. "But with more people there's a better chance to make more money in tips and liquor sales."
And with more alcohol consumption,
"It's always nice to have business pick up of course,but it's also nice to have people other than regulars"
Rob Pewtress
local liquor store manager
the officers of the Lawrence Police Department also get a little more "spice" added to their day when students return.
Det. M.T. Brown said that while there are more problems with underage drinking, as well as illegal parking and house parties, the majority of student-related crimes were misdemeanors.
"Students get involved in more minor things like fights and things like that, but for the most part, they're the least of our trouble," he said. "The police department has been here as long as The University, so we are used to that."

Brandon Deines, Hoxie senior, said a summertime perk was room in bars. In the summer, he said, the bars weren't as crowded as the fall — which brings with it almost instant crowds.
"You definitely notice it right about the time the dorms open and all the apartments let people come back," he said. "It's an incredible difference, and it happens in a week, week and a half."

"I just like Lawrence," Deines said. "Summer or fall, they're just different. I can't say I like one more than the other."
But while parts of Lawrence change depending on the time of year, Deines' opinion of Lawrence has stayed the same.

City Commission meeting.
6:35 p.m. tonight at City Hall,
6 E. Sikth Street.
At tonight's City Commission meeting:
A proposed contract with the University of Kansas Transportation Center will
City Commission
be reviewed. The contract of $14,850 is to obtain a.m. and p.m. peak-hour traffic counts at the 73 intersections with signals in Lawrence. The count is being done as part of an update to the Traffic Signal Master Plan, which is used in revising traffic signal timing. If approved, the Transportation Center would conduct the survey this fall. The transportation center also conducted the last survey, done in the fall of 1996.
■ The commission will receive a staff report concerning leasing buses to start the new public transit systems. The leased buses would provide transportation until the permanent buses begin to be delivered in late spring of 2001. The city hopes to begin public transportation in early 2001, although an oxact date has not been set.
The commission will receive a letter from the City of Topeka concerning electric rates. At issue is Western Resources Utilities, which has two power divisions — KPL and KGE. Currently, KGE customers pay about one-fourth more for power than KPL customers as a result of the construction of the Wolf Creek nuclear generating facility in Burlington. A group known as Kansas Industrial Consumers and the city of Wichita would like rates to be equalized between the two regions and for the two regions to be joined into one utility. The city of Topeka is opposed to joining the regions into one utility and is asking Lawrence and other major cities and counties for help in funding the litigation process for the rate hearing, which will run from November through next July. Topeka claims residential power rates in the KPL area could increase by 20 percent if the regions were combined.
Pierce's former teammates react to Celtic's stabbing
Continued from page 1A
Former Celtics star Tommy Henshoin told the Associated Press that Pierce was wearing a leather jacket that helped protect him in the stabbing. Burns could not confirm that.
Pierce was the only person injured in the incident, and the night club will be cited for allowing the assault to take place in its premises, Burns said.
Pierce's former KU teammates were shocked by the news.
Senior center Eric Chenowith played with Pierce in Kansas' 35-win season of 1997-98.
"He's a happy, go-lucky guy," Chenowith said.
"He always had a smile on his face. From what I hear, he was breaking up something. That's totally like Paul to break something up. Obviously, I wish the best for him."
Teammate Kenny Gregory, who was on that same 1997-98 team, empathized with Chenowith's sadness.
"I was sad and disappointed, but pretty happy to find out that he's doing all right," Gregory said. "I hope he gets a lot better — it's real disappointing news."
Pierce came to Kansas in 1996 from Inglewood, Calif. He was named Big 12 Tournament Most Valuable Player in 1997 and 1998 and was named first team all-Big 12 as a junior in 1998.
Following the 1998 season, Pierce opted to forge his final year of eligibility as a Jayhawk and enter the NBA. He was drafted 10th in the NBA draft by Boston and embarked on a standout professional career.
As a rookie, he averaged 16.5 points per game, and last season raised his scoring average to 19.5 points per game. He was second in the NBA in steals per game last season with 2.08.
Pierce majored in crime and delinquency studies at the University of Kansas. Currently, he ranks fifth on the all-time Kansas scoring list with 1,768 points.
Updates on this breaking story will be posted on Kansan.com throughout the day.

Marching Jayhawk Bob Foster leaves band legacy
By Nathan Willis Kansan editor
B
ob Foster climbed the ladder and stood in front of the Marching Jayhawks.
Foster, director of bands, led the band through the Star-Spangled Banner, the alma mater and the Rock Chalk Chant with
crisp, sweeping strokes Sunday as the 53rd Annual University of Kansas Band Day continued under gray skies and with a persistent drizzle.
After that, he stepped aside.
It was the first band day in 30 years that Foster wasn't at the helm. Earlier this year, he stepped down as director of the Marching Jayhawks after arriving and taking over the band in 1971. In that span, the marching band and Foster himself have seen national success and recognition, as well as the band's share of change.
Passing the baton
Foster remains director of bands and conducts a symphonic band. But, Foster said, the marching band is the most visible aspect of the band program. He said he felt it was important to have a passing of the baton ceremony from himself to Timothy Oliver, the new director of the marching band, before the first home football game Sept. 16.
Foster said Oliver took over for him because the University created a new position of marching band director—a post that had historically been filled by the director of bands.
"It it was something that needed to happen." Foster said. "It was the right thing to happen at the right time."
Oliver said the demands of marching band and overseeing the entire band department were too much for anyone to handle.
"Really, this position was created in an effort to provide some muchneeded faculty support," he said.
Foster said the new arrangement would allow him to focus on specific areas of the program. Still, he said, his time as director of the Marching

marching band has brought him considerable recognition.

"Bob is a legend in the nation. He's one of the pillars of the field."
Foster's bands have also garnered
national awards. In 1989, for example, the KU Marching Band was selected as the seventh band in the nation to win the Sudler Trophy for Collegiate Marching Band.
But Foster lists other things as the highlights of his career. There were the five bowl games the Jayhawks went to.
"Those are major, major, major national events," he said, "and the band has the opportunity to participate."

heart out despite enduring broken down buses and the inability to get motel rooms in Ames the night before.
"At the beginning of the game, it didn't look like the band was going to make it," Fambrough said. "And all of a sudden, we heard the KU fight song. It was all I could do to keep those guys under control. They were a two-touchdown underdog, but boy, they won that day."
The ball, faded and worn, still sits on the top shelf of a bookcase in Foster's office.
A tradition of tradition
Foster made several changes in the band during his tenure. When he
arrived in 1971, the marching band was segregated by gender no girls were allowed.
Within a year, he had desegregated it.
"It had to be done delicately because there were some people against it," he said. "But I don't see how a University that is a defender of individual freedoms and individual rights can have something discriminatory like that."
He also started the tradition of the band marching down Campanile hill and into Memorial Stadium before games and modified the pregame performances of the band.
Through it all, though, Foster said what kept the band among the elite was its emphasis on tradition and stability. When Foster arrived in 1971, he became just the fifth director of the KU Marching Band, whose history spans back to the turn of the century.
Such continuity is something few programs have.
"It is rare to see someone last as long as Bob," said Tracz, who has been at Kansas State for eight years. "This business eats you up, spits you out and steps on you."
Despite that, Foster, 61, has no plans to retire. Instead, he will continue overseeing the band program, as well as composing and arranging.
"I don't play golf, and I don't fish; I do band things," Poster said. "I can't imagine what else I could do that would be this much fun."

"Bob is a legend in the nation," said Frank Tracz, director of bands and of the marching band at Kansas State University. "He's one of the pillars of the field."
Foster's bands have also garnered
national awards. In 1989, for example, the KU Marching Band was selected as the seventh band in the nation to win the Sudler Trophy for Collegiate Marching Band.
"Bob is a legend in the nation. He's one of the pillars of the field."
"Those are major, major, major national events," he said. "and the band has the opportunity to participate."
But Foster lists other things as the highlights of his career. There were the five bowl games the Jayhawks went to.
One of his favorite memories was
Frank Tracz director of bands at Kansas State
University
when the band received the game ball after the football team beat Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, during the 1970s. Then-coach Don Fambrough ran across the field and gave it to the band.
Fambrough said the band played its
heart out despite enduring broken down buses and the inability to get motel rooms in Ames the night before.
"At the beginning of the game, it didn't look like the band was going to make it," Fambrough said. "And all of a sudden, we heard the KU fight song. It was all I could do to keep those guys under control. They were a two-touchdown underdog, but boy, they won that day."
The ball, faded and worn, still sits on the top shelf of a bookcase in Foster's office.
A tradition of tradition
Foster made several changes in the band during his tenure. When he
arrived in 1971, the marching band was segregated by gender a girlyer allowed
Within a year, he had deseg regated it.
"It had to be done delicately because there were some people against it," he said. "But I don't see how a University that is a defender of individual freedoms and individual rights can have something discriminatory like that."
He also started the tradition of the band marching down Campanile hill and into Memorial Stadium before games and modified the pregame performances of the band.
Through it all, though, Foster said what kept the band among the elite was its emphasis on tradition and stability. When Foster arrived in 1971, he became just the fifth director of the KU Marching Band, whose history spans back to the turn of the century.
Such continuity is something few programs have.
"It is rare to see someone last as long as Bob," said Tracz, who has been at Kansas State for eight years. "This business eats you up, spits you out and steps on you."
Despite that, Foster, 61, has no plans to retire. Instead, he will continue overseeing the band program, as well as composing and arranging.
"I don't play golf, and I don't fish; I do band things," Foster said. "I can't imagine what else I could do that would be this much fun."

Scientists test Iceman samples
The Associated Press
BOLZANO, Italy — Scientists thawed out the iceman, removing samples of bone, tissue and tooth from the 5,300-year-old mummy yesterday in hopes of shedding light on the life and times of the ancient man who once roamed the Alps.
Museum officials say he will go back on display today.
The temperature in the refrigerated display case housing the Bronze- Age hunter was gradually raised for 12 hours. Then, at 8 a.m., the Iceman was wheeled into a sterile laboratory at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano.
For four hours, scientists in operating scrubs scraped off bone enamel, chipped away bone and snaked an endoscope into his intestines, harvesting samples for study at half a dozen research institutions and universities.
A forensic expert from the
University of Glasgow will try to determine whether the ancient hunter died a natural death or an accidental one by looking at bone and blood samples.
In Zurich, scientists will analyze lead and strontium deposits on his teeth — chemical footprints that can reveal more about his environment.
"We have no solutions, but plenty of questions," said Peter Vanezis, a forensic medicine specialist, at a news conference after the Iceman was returned to his chilled case.
DNA tests will feature largely in the new round of research into the ancient man.
Scientists in Italy and Britain will examine both the Iceman's DNA and that of the microbes in his intestinal tract. The microbes could be a clue to the food he ate, said Italian anthropologist Franco Rollo.
He said the DNA tests also would look at the mitochondria genome, which could reveal a common
ancestry or genealogical continuity between inhabitants of the Alpine regions of 10,000 years ago and those of today.
Previous tests on minute amounts of DNA from the Iceman's lungs suggested he suffered from a lung fungus that could have hastened his death.
Scientists also will try to learn if the crudely carved tattoos found on the Iceman's ankles, knees and calves were an ancient form of acupuncture, or were added after his death for some unknown reason.
Results of some of the tests from the samples taken yesterday should be ready in about six months, said research coordinator Eduard Egartner Vial.
The Iceman was found frozen in a glacier in the Tyrollean Alps on the Italian-Austrian border in 1991 by two German mountaineers and promptly became the center of an international tug-of-war.

http://www.iceman.it
He was first claimed by Austria and taken to Innsbruck. After a survey showed the discovery site was actually on the Italian side of the unmarked border, he was handed over to Italy.
The transfer date was kept secret following threats from Austrian nationalists who have never recognized Italy's annexation of the South Tyrol after World War I.
Since then, the superbly preserved corpse has been kept in a refrigerated viewing chamber at a museum built to house him. An array of weapons and tools found alongside him, including a copper ax, bow and flint-stone-tipped arrows, also were kept in the museum.
His chamber is kept at 21 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity level of 96-98 percent.
Danger lurks in springs
Asphyxiation suspected in Northern California deaths through the years
KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — As many as a dozen people luxuriating in the bubbling warm waters of Northern California's Soda Springs may have been asphyxiated in the past by the carbon dioxide that rises out of the Earth.
The springs are currently off limits until safety changes can be made.
The most recent victim of the gas was 31 year-old Stephen Kastner of Napa, who died alone in the pool July 28, said Phil Damon. an assistant field manager with the federal Bureau of Land Management, which owns the land.
The pool is encircled by a natural rock border, but a few years ago, someone built up the wall with bricks and concrete, making it about two feet higher. The higher wall made the basin cozier, but it also apparently trapped the gas close to the surface of the water.
"From our documentation, and it's minimal, we know for sure there have been three deaths and probably there have been four times that many," Damon said last week. "I don't have much doubt about that."
The earliest documented death by asphyxiation at the springs was John "Pop" O'Shea, a former Lake County coroner who died in 1878, Damon said. Another man, who was not identified, died in 1981.
Soda Springs sits at the edge of a small island about 200 feet off the shore of Clear Lake, about 120 miles north of San Francisco. The water in the rectangular 6-by-8-foot pool smells vaguely of rotten eggs, and the basin's natural back walls are encrusted with a multicolored patina of chemicals.
Carbon dioxide comes up through inactive volcanic vents, making the water bubble like a hot tub, or a bottle of soda.
Damon said locals had erected the wall to cloister the springs from the lake's waters, which tended to lap in and cool the 90-degree pool.
The BLM tore down the wall last week, and the springs now are off limits. Warning signs sit in the effervescent waters, strung together
"From our documentation, and it's minimal, we know for sure there have been three deaths and probably there have been four
times that many."

bv a chain.
The plan now is to reopen the springs when the BLM determines carbon dioxide levels are safe, then install a wall that can be adjusted to the changing lake levels to allow for ample circulation, Damon said.
Without proper air flow, dangerous levels of carbon dioxide hover over the surface, said Cathy Janik, a U.S. Geological Survey geochemist.
"I'll tell you, I wouldn't want to sit in the spring, just because there's so much gas," she said.
Stephen Kastner's father, Bill Kastner, said all mysterious deaths at Soda Springs should have been taken seriously.
"We've been going there with the boys since they were 8 or 10," said Kastner, who has a summer house nearby. "Back then, there was no wall. In the past few years, someone built the wall, then the BLM knocked it down, and then someone built it back up again and BLM knocked it down again."
Officially, the cause of Kastner's death has not been determined, and lab results are expected to take several weeks, according to Russell Perdock, Lake County's coroner. Preliminary autopsy results showed that Kastner drowned, he said.
But Damon said he believed the young man was asphyxated, and Kastner's father said drowning as the cause of death was basically impossible as far as he was concerned. He said Stephen was an accomplished water skier, swimmer and diver.
The waters attract legions of visitors, especially during the summer.
"A as kid, this was adventure, this was discovery," said Rolf Kriken, 55, who spent youthful summers at Clear Lake and moved back nine years ago to raise his two sons. "It's a very spiritual, healing place."
Korean leaders pledge to ease border issues
The Associated Press
CHEJU, South Korea — In their first-ever meeting, the defense chiefs of South and North Korea pledged yesterday to work for reconciliation across the Cold War's last frontier.
South Korean Defense Minister Cho Sung-tae and Kim II Chul, minister of the People's Army of North Korea, agreed to open military talks to discuss clearing mines to reconnect a rail line between the two Koreas, South Korean officials said.
The meeting between Cho and Kim on this resort island was one of the most significant steps toward rapprochement on the divided peninsula since a June summit of the leaders of both Koreas.
It was the first meeting between the heads of the two militaries, which stand guard at the last flash point of the Cold War. The border is guarded by nearly 2 million troops on both sides, barbed wire, minefields, and artillery and missiles that can reach each other's capitals.
In their talk, Cho and Kim decided that their militaries should support the agreements of the summit at which the two Koreas agreed to seek eventual reunification, said Brig. Gen. Yoon Il-young, representative for Seoul's Defense Ministry.
"The two ministers said South and North Korea should end the mistrust and confrontation of the past and move toward an arena of mutual trust and reconciliation." Yoon said.
Following their June summit, the two Koreas agreed to reconnect a cross-border railway line and build a highway linking the countries.
Up to 100,000 mines planted in the area of the rail corridor will have to be removed. Yesterday, the defense ministers agreed to coordinate the mine-clearing project between the two armies operating in the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas.
South Korean officials doubted whether sweeping measures that will ease tension across the peninsula can be achieved in this first meeting.
The Pentagon regards the North's military as one of the greatest security threats in northeast Asia. Washington keeps 37,000 U.S. soldiers in South Korea as a deterrent against the North.
The Korean Peninsula was divided into North Korea and the pro-Western South at the end of World War II.
Plea bargain reached in microwave killing
The Associated Press
NEW KENT, Va. — A woman accused of killing her month-old son by putting him in a microwave oven and turning it on pleaded to involuntary manslaughter yesterday.
Elizabeth Renee Otte, 20, could get up to 10 years in prison at her sentencing in December. She originally was charged with first-degree murder, which carries up to life behind bars.
She entered an Alford plea, under which she did not admit guilt but acknowledged that prosecutors had enough evidence to convict her.
According to experts, Otte suffers from epilepsy, and her seizures often are followed by blackouts of up to 50 minutes. Prosecutor C. Linwood Gregory said that given such testimony,
Otte told authorities at the time that the last thing she remembered was feeding the baby.
Her son, Joseph Lewis Martinez, was found dead in 1999, crammed inside the 18-inch-wide microwave in the home Otte shared with the baby's father. According to experts, Joseph probably died after 10 minutes in the oven, when his blood reached 106 degrees.
a jury might have acquitted Otte.
She had stopped taking medication when she became pregnant. The baby's father, Joseph Anthony Martinez, told authorities that Otte had more than 50 seizures before and after the birth, even dropping the baby one time.
Red tide spreads along coast of Gulf of Mexico
The Associated Press
CORPUS CHRISTI. Texas — A bloom of toxic red tide algae is spreading along the Texas Gulf Coast, shutting down some oyster fishing and killing millions of fish whose rotting remains are fouling beaches.
State environmental officials say it's the largest concentration of red tide since 1986, when more than 22 million fish died in four months.
"We do not have an accurate number yet. But we are estimating several million fish have been killed so far," Dave Buzan, representative for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Kills and Spills Team, told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times.
Buzan said there was a major bloom off Matagorda Bay Sept. 18.
"It is so big it can be detected on satellite imagery," he said. High concentrations of the
For humans eating contaminated fish or shellfish, the toxin can cause numbness, dizziness, nausea, fever and muscle paralysis. The most serious cases can result in respiratory arrest and death. In addition, people who swim in affected bodies of water can suffer breathing and eye irritation.
algae called red tide produce a toxin that kills fish by affecting the central nervous system.
Elsewhere along the coast, officials in Houston said Sunday that red tide was spreading from the gulf into Galveston Bay and other inland waterways.
Commercial harvesting of oysters in Galveston Bay has been shut down since Sept. 5 because of red tide. State Department of Health officials were reviewing whether similar restrictions need to be issued elsewhere along the coast. Oyster season doesn't open at Corpus Christi until November.

ABC to air news in Spanish
day.
NEW YORK — ABC News next week will begin providing a simultaneous Spanish-language version of its nightly World News Tonight newscast in 33 markets.
The Spanish versions will be heard on the Secondary Audio Program channel. SAP is an audio channel that can be received on stereo television sets. A button for the service is usually on the remote control or in front of the set.
ABC has made sports broadcasts such as Monday Night Football and occasional movies and news specials available on SAP, but this is the first regular newcastle it is presenting in Spanish, the network said yester-
"This is something we have wanted to do for a long time," said newscaster Peter Jennings. "We hope that those who speak primarily Spanish will get a broader view of the world by having access to our broadcast."
More than 30 million Hispanic Americans live in the United States, and they are the fastest-growing audience segment, ABC said.
NBC's Nightly News and the CBS Evening News are considering doing the same thing, said representatives for each broadcast. CBS is providing Spanish translations of the upcoming presidential and vice presidential debates, a representative said.

Canadian helps team soar to Olympic basketball win
The Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — Just when it seemed nothing could be more amazing than Vince Carter's latest dunk, Canada came up with a topper.
Pulling off the biggest upset of the men's basketball tournament, Canada shocked previously undefeated Yugoslavia on the final night of preliminary round play yesterday to win Group B.
"I told them this would be the biggest game in the history of our country," said coach Jay Triano after Canada's 83-75 victory. "And I told them that there would be a lot of Canadians up watching this game, so let's not let them down."
Steve Nash had the game of his life for Canada, accumulating 26 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. He scored or assisted on 18 of Canada's final 21 points.
It was the type of spectacular all-around performance that may have matched Carter's latest feat — leaping over 7-foot-2 center Frederic Weis for an incredible dunk that spurred the U.S. team to a 106-94 victory against France.
"For me, that was probably the greatest play in basketball I've ever seen," said teammate Jason Kidd. "Michael Jordan hasn't done that. Nobody has done that. He's the next coming of Vince Carter."
The Americans will play Russia in the quarterfinals on Thursday. Other quarterfinal matchups are Italy-Australia,
Canada-France and Yugoslavia-Lithuania.
The semifinals are Friday, and the gold medal game is Sunday.
For now, yesterday will go down as the most exciting day of the tournament. The fun began with Carter making like a high-jumper and snapping the U.S. team out of its lifeless daze.
With France trying to move the ball up court and nine of the 10 players running the same way, Carter was headed the other way as he intercepted a pass some 30 feet from the basket and bore down on Weis with a full head of steam.
He took off from a step or two inside the foul line, spread his legs in mid-air and went right over Weis, scraping the top of the Frenchman's buzzcut.
"I knew he could jump, but I didn't know he could jump over me," Weis said. "Everybody will know my face now or my number at least. It's going to be on a poster for sure."
Carter's dunk seemed to take the spark out of France, which led for most of the first half and ended up with the highest point total by a U.S. opponent in the Olympics since 1976.
The margin of victory for the U.S. team was its second-smallest since NBA players started coming to the Olympics in 1992. Lithuania's nine-point defeat last Thursday is the only closer one.
"In 10 years, you'll look in the record book and see that we continued the streak — not that we won by 9 and 12," Carter said. "A win is a win."
The Canada-Yugoslavia game followed the France-United States game, and Nash put on a different kind of show that left Canadians comparing the victory to one of the greatest moments in that country's sports history — the 1972 Summit Series hockey victory against the Soviet Union.
A loss would have left Canada in fourth place in Group B facing a quarterfinal matchup against the United states. Instead, the Canadians won't see the Americans until the finals — if both teams get that far.
"This is a new age and a new time," said Canada's Rowan Barrett. "Nothing wrong with having another sport for Canadians to follow. I don't think a lot of people at home expected much, and probably rightfully so. If they weren't paying attention before, they are now."
Australia, which lost its first two games, needed a victory against Spain to get out of the preliminary round. Playing in front of a boisterous home crowd, Shane Heal scored 26 points, and Andrew Gaze had 22 in a 91-80 victory.
Australia (3-2) finished in third place in Group B by virtue of its tiebreaker edge against Russia by winning the head-tohead meeting between the teams.
Italy finished second in Group A, followed by Lithuania and France.
China, Spain, New Zealand and Angola failed to advance.
SYDNEY, Australia — C.J. Hunter was impossible to ignore long before a positive drug test landed him on center stage at the Olympics.
The Associated Press
Until yesterday, his wife, Marion Jones, was the unquestioned star at the Sydney Games. But then international track officials confirmed the 330-pound Hunter, the reigning world shot put champion, had failed a drug test in July. And suddenly, he found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
"I know what's going on, and I am aware of the allegations and am going to defend myself vigorously," he said in a statement released to NBC.
When his wife won the 100 meters Saturday, the first leg of her journey for an unprecedented five gold medals, he worked the media crush ahead of her like an advance man.
That doesn't surprise anyone who knows him. The 31-year-old Hunter has never been shy.
"This is just the beginning," Hunter said, beaming. "But it's hard to focus on this one, because there's still so much left."
Track star's husband failed drug test
Whether he will be in Sydney to see Jones' golden quest to the finish is anyone's guess. But few would doubt how much of the credit he deserves for preparing her.
The couple first met when Jones was a basketball star at North Carolina and Hunter coached track and field there. A broken foot interrupted her track career, and they became friends while she recovered from the injury. When they began dating, Hunter was separated from his wife. He left the university soon after because school policy prohibited coaches from dating athletes.
Hunter soon persuaded Jones to give up basketball for track, mirroring a decision he'd made himself years earlier at Roosevelt High in Hyde Park, N.Y. He wanted to be a baseball player back then, but when he got cut, Hunter turned to the shot put and was ranked third nationally by his senior year.
Hunter went on to Penn State, where he won the NCAA championship, and then made a steady climb up the ladder of his sport. He made the Olympic team and, with Jones watching from the stands, finished seventh in the Atlanta Games. Two years later, in October 1998, they were married.
There were whispers that Jones' mother wasn't always fond of her son-in-law. When a writer asked Marion about it, Hunter pulled him off to the side and lectured him on etiquette.
It's hard to imagine what he must have planned to tell another writer, who described track's first couple at last summer's world championships in Seville, Spain, as "Beauty and the Beast."
But by then, Hunter probably had mellowed too much to explode. His career and his wife's were both taking off. She was dominating the sprints, and he had marked himself as a gold medal favorite with an upset win in the shot put.
Jones also had become the centerpiece of a Nike advertising campaign, and Hunter enjoyed the publicity by all accounts. He was a regular at her photo shoots, hovering pro-
tectively at the edges, attentive to her every need.
He finished second at the U.S. national trials in June and July while competing at the Bisclet Games in Oslo, Norway. It was there, officials said, that Hunter tested positive for nandrolone and testosterone.
According to International Olympic Committee drug chief Prince Alexandre de Merode, the nandrolone sample was 1,000 times above the IOC's permitted level. He said he had never heard of such a high concentration.
Even before the test results were made public, Hunter injured a knee in training. He had arthroscopic surgery on Sept. 3, then withdrew from the U.S. squad eight days later. Some newspaper reports contended that Hunter's withdrawal was caused not by the injury, but because he feared the drug test results would become public.
Other than the statement released to NBC, however Hunter has remained silent. He spent most of yesterday sequestered in his hotel room outside Sydney, watching the games on TV.
The U.S. Olympic Committee confirmed Hunter had been credentialed as an athlete while he still was on the team and had retained that credential in an oversight.
USOC representative Mike Moran said the credential would be replaced today with a support staff pass and tickets that still would allow Hunter to coach Jones in training and at the stadium.
"We don't want to do anything that will upset Marion's emotional support," he said.

Letters to the Editor Kansan should entice with wit as columnist did
I just wanted to take the time to let Shawn Hutchinson know that his column on dodge ball was very intriguing. I think a little more humor in columns is needed to make the UDK a more readable paper. Sure, news and sports are all serious matters to people. But have we still forgotten that every moment, every fiber of our lives is filled with humor?
Humor is what makes our interaction together all that more controversial, communicable and filled with excitement. The UDK I know would argue tremendously with me, saying "humor and news don't mix, it's seriousness that gets the real readers." That may be so, but without downgrading the paper I feel humor or more creative writing in
the Kansan is needed. It's not all about seriousness, it's about how you deliver it!
Shawn deserves credit; he is not willing to step aside for the "feelings" of the paper. He lends to it. It is also about good journalism and writing. Someone as good as Shawn is in his ability to bring to life "real-life" situations is only found in a handful of good writers. How many times do you sit down for a good read to find editing errors or sentences that don't make sense?
Remarkably, I do have several friends on the paper, and with this letter I hope to beg their pardon, but what is more exciting and powerful about our language is the ability to paint a picture that has not been taken. It should be like a good book, reading it cover to cover, with every word spurring you to read the next.
With all due respect, the UDK should respond by writing more picturesque tales of "real news" and not be entirely limited by shortsidedness. The paper should be fun and intriguing to read, not something that would only act as a good table-leg stabilizer.

K-State took importanr leap with equestrian team
I am writing this in response to the article "Equestrian team not the solution for K-State" that was in the Kansan Friday, Sept. 15. As an equestrian, I was offended by the article.
I have been competing for the past 10 years, and it would be a privilege to ride for my school in competition. I think that the decision to have an equestrian team at K-State was an excellent one. There are not enough people or colleges that actually take riding and competing horses seriously, and I applaud K-State
for going against the norm and adding an "unpopular" sport.
Maybe now people will begin to realize that riding horses is more than just a hobby. There are not many colleges that equestrians can attend where they can represent their colleges in competition. I do not feel bad for the women that wanted to play softball or soccer at K-state, because just about every school in the country offers those sports. This is exactly what my sport needs in order to become a "popular" sport.
Maybe one day KU will follow the example that K-state has set. Sure it was a risk, but with risk comes success, and I think that is exactly what the equestrian team is headed for.
By the way, my horse trainer of 10 years, Becky Douglas, is representing the United States as the first alternate on the three-day eventing team at the Olympics at this moment.

Bad grass leaves soccer team without home
Continued from page 14A
a surface that does poorly in heat and is less resistant to weather elements but maintains its color. Bermuda grass is more durable and does well in heat but loses its color in the fall.
Kansas saved $60,000 by going with cheaper grass, but Cook said it would cost about $400,000 or $500,000 to fix the problem now because, in addition to adding Bermuda grass, a new rock base would have to be added to the field to assist drainage.
A team without a home
The Kansas soccer team's alltime record on SuperTarget Field is 15-18-2, including a 5-2-1 record last year on the home turf. Home games have been
"When we're playing on a different field each time, we don't have an advantage because we're not playing on the same field that we're familiar with," said Kansas coach Mark Francis.
The relocation has caused frustration for the team.
"The players are the ones really getting the brunt of it," Francis said. "We have a lot of road games with the way the schedule worked out, so it's
really hard on the players, and I feel bad for them."
The Jayhawks play 11 road games and seven home games this season. The first three home games have been played in the Kansas City area, and this weekend's games against Iowa State and Nebraska will be played at a location yet to be determined. Francis said the loss of a home field had hindered game preparation as well.
"That's the problem that has been the most frustrating," he said. "We've been using the football practice field, but it is too narrow so it's not realistic. It's hurting us in our preparation for games because the width of the field is far too narrow. Last week, we wanted to try to work on our crosses and have our players move out wide, but we
had to change our plan because we could not do that."
Looking to the future
The grass looks greener down the road for future Kansas soccer players, but those on the current roster will just have to just make due.
After spending more than $30 million on upgrades to Memorial Stadium, a soccer/track complex is in the planning stages. Cook said that a lack of funding was causing the delay, but he expected ground to be broken in three to five years.
Until that time comes, Cook said the field would be resded with bluegrass, but that would probably have to tide the team over until the new complex was built.
"Next year, we don't want a

Johnson wins second 400-meter; Romanian tests positive for drugs
The Associated Press
For Michael Johnson, after making history with consecutive Olympic 400-meter golds, it was time for sweet goodbyes. Pole vault winner Stacy Dragila said hello with a gold in her event's first time at the Olympics. And the United States softball team needs to win one more time for its gold.
SYDNEY, Australia — it's all in the timing — good and bad.
And for women's gymnastics all-around champion Andreea Raducan of Romania, good times
turned to bad times with news that she had tested positive for drugs — Romanian officials said it was cold medication — and may lose at least one of her three medals.
In a day dominated by drug stories, Johnson — sporting a pair of gold track shoes — needed just 43.84 seconds to turn all eyes to Australia's Olympic Stadium.
He became the first man ever to win the 400 in consecutive Olympics and took a leisurely victory lap following his Olympic farewell. The 33-year-old Johnson has won four Olympic
and nine world championship medals — all gold.
Teammate Alvin Harrison took the silver.
Just 15 minutes earlier, Australian Cathy Freeman captured the women's 400 — a victory that brought the crowd of 110,000 to its feet and left the Aborigine runner in near-shock, kneeling silently on the track.
Drained and overwhelmed with the excitement of victory and the relief of expectations fulfilled, Freeman removed her shoes and took a victory lap in bare feet. Ten days earlier, she had lit the
Olympic flame during the opening ceremony.
Her gold helped boost Australia's medal count to 43—12 gold, 20 silver, 11 bronze — its highest Olympic haul ever.
In the men's 10,000 run, Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia repeated as gold medalist with a late kick.
In the Olympic debut of the women's pole vault, Dragila sailed 15 feet, 1 inch to claim the first gold. She failed at three attempts to break her own world record. Tatiana Grigorieva of Australia won the silver and Vala Flofadottir of Iceland the bronze.
The Americans remained atop the medal table with 58 (23-14-21), ahead of China's 48 (21-14-13) and Russia's 47 (14-14-19).
SOFTBALL: It took twice as much effort for the U.S. team to make the gold medal game, as the American women swept a daynight doubleheader against two teams that had defeated them earlier in Sydney.
To make the gold medal game against Japan, Lisa Fernandez struck out 13 in shutting out Australia 1-0. Dot Richardson's fifth-inning single scored the only run of the game as the
Atlanta gold medalists took a huge stride toward defending the title.
Beating Japan would be sweet revenge, giving the Americans victories against all three teams that beat them in the preliminary round. In the first game yesterday, the U.S. team beat China 3-0.
MEN'S VOLLEYBALL: The U.S. team heads home from Sydney with a perfect record — of inepititude. The volleyballers ended their Olympic experience with five losses in five games, the last one yesterday to Italy by scores of 21-25, 25-18, 25-18, 25-18.

A team without a home
The Kansas soccer team's alltime record on SuperTarget Field is 15-18-2, including a 5-2-1 record last year on the home turf. Home games have been
played this year at neutral sites in the Kansas City area at the Blue Valley District Activities Complex and the Olathe District Athletics Complex. The Jayhawks, 5-5 overall and 1-1 in the Big 12 Conference, could use some home-field advantage — but they can't have it because of shoddy field conditions.
"When we're playing on a different field each time, we don't have an advantage because we're not playing on the same field that we're familiar with," said Kansas coach Mark Francis.

Bootleggers get backlash with Pearl Jam CDs
The associated Press
NEW YORK — Pearl Jam fans will have their loyalty tested today. The rock band isn't just releasing a new album — it's putting out 25 of them.
In an unprecedented attempt to beat bootleggers at their own game, the Seattle-based band is selling live two-CD sets recorded at more than two dozen concerts during a European tour earlier this summer.
Each album carries a suggested retail price of $16.98.
"We just thought it was pretty cool," said guitarist Mike McCready. "If fans have to buy bootlegs, it can cost them $50. We wanted to do something that was cheaper."
No one can remember one act flooding the marketplace with so much music at the same time. Even Pearl Jam admits it's not for everyone.
Most musical acts don't vary their set lists much from city to city, making such a project redundant. But like Phish or Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam prides itself on being unpredictable in concert. Each show contains about two dozen songs; Pearl Jam played more than 80 different songs during the European tour.
Sony, the band's record company, had to be convinced to go along, band manager Kelly Curtis said. Pearl Jam records all of its shows, so the biggest expense already was taken care of. he said.
Virtually every Pearl Jam concert is made available on disc by bootleggers, he said. Curtis knows, because the band has collected most of them.
The musicians considered releasing a compilation of the best live recordings from those discs. After all, what were the bootleggers going to do — sue Pearl Jam for stealing their unauthorized recordings of the band's music?
Curtis said Pearl Jam took its
own approach when they realized there wasn't enough well-recorded material for a full album.
"We're not trying to talk people who usually don't buy this stuff into buying it," he said. "It's more for the people who buy it already. We really didn't have any idea of how many people that is. We still don't."
Pearl Jam released no music from the June 30 concert in Roskilde, Denmark, where nine fans were trampled to death and three were seriously injured.
Curtis has run into some trouble among record retailers annoyed with having to stock 25 discs at the same time. Some retail chains are ignoring the release, and others are carrying only a handful of them, guessing at what may be the most popular, he said.
For a few weeks, the discs have been available through the band's Web site, selling at $10.98 each for fan-club members and $12.98 for others. More than 50,000 discs have been sold, Curtis said.
"No one even talked about it because they thought it would be a stupid idea." Curtis said.
For fans who aren't able to buy all 25 CDs, does McCready have any recommendations of shows he remembers going particularly well? He mentions disc No. 16, from Poland, disc No. 10 from Paris, and either of the two shows from London (Nos. 4 and 5).
"There are some really fantastic shows and some OK ones," McCready said. "But there aren't any real bad ones."
McCready doesn't worry much about the PearlJam bootleggers. His music collection contains about 100 bootlegs of favorite bands like the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.
"I think people that buy the bootlegs buy the records anyway," he said. "I was that way. It's just another thing about the band, so I don't really care if they're making money."

Hard Rock to showcase live music
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Hard Rock Cafe made its name with guitars, gold albums and other music memorabilia safely preserved behind display-case glass.
Now, after a decade of falling merchandise sales and the implosion of the theme-restaurant industry, the granddaddy of theme restaurants hopes to bring in new business by taking the music down from the wall and putting it on stage.
Approaching its 300th birthday, Hard Rock Cafe International is planning a new emphasis on live music in its 103 restaurants worldwide.
Hours will extend for the night performances. And the 55 restaurants actually owned by the chain will be redesigned or relocated to create space for live performances. The remaining restaurants are franchises.
"After 9 or 10 o'clock, we were typically shutting down," said Christopher Tomasso, senior director of marketing and productions at the Orlando-based
ON THE NET

www.rank.com.
company. "Now we're going to get cranking up."
Many of the Hard Rock's theme-restaurant competitors have disappeared or are struggling in a shake-out that began in the mid-1990s.
Unlike other theme restaurants, such as Planet Hollywood, the Hard Rock has been growing at a steady pace during the past decade and is making money.
But merchandise sales, which account for almost half of the company's revenue, have been declining.
The first Hard Rock restaurant opened in London in 1971. Its first rock memorabilia came from Eric Clapton, a regular customer, who asked if he could hang a guitar on the wall to mark his favorite bar stool.
The Who's Pete Townsend donated a guitar a week later.
The company now has a rock memorabilia collection valued at $32 million.

Jayhawks focusing on Sooners
By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com Konson sportswritter
Looking past an opponent worked out fine last week, but the Kansas football team will not be inclined to try it again heading into Saturday's game at Oklahoma.
The Jayhawks will not start prepping yet for the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State and overlook the Sooners. Kansas scripted its practices last week toward facing the Sooners, and it obviously made no difference in a 42-0 win against Southern Illinois.
After the game, Kansas coach Terry Allen revealed his ploy.
Southern Illinois, a Division I-AA opponent, could not match up physically with the Jayhawks. Kansas could squeak by on talent alone.
So Allen took a risk and chose to focus last week on preparing for the Sooners, who are ranked No. 14 nationally, although most players were unaware how much Allen was worrying about Oklahoma.
"Obviously, Oklahoma is a very good team and can throw the ball," Allen said. "Whether this will give us an advantage or not we'll find out."
It's called gambling, and Allen was concerned early against Southern Illinois after Kansas went scoreless for almost the entire first half. Sometimes when rain falls, and the ball and surface get wet, talent becomes moot.
"I thought it was just a matter of time," Allen said. "But we knew that if the weather got worse, we could be setting ourselves up for real trouble."
What could cause Kansas real trouble in Norman, Okla., is the Sooners' passing attack, which has been a big concern for Allen. After losing at Southern Methodist and surrendering 164 passing yards in the process, the Jayhawks held Alabama-Birmingham and the Salukis to low double digits. However, neither of those teams made any particular commitment to throwing the ball. They chose to run the option or a variety of running plays.
"I think part of that was because of how good our secondary has been playing," said Kansas cornerback Andrew Davison. "Their guys couldn't get open, so they didn't want to try and throw."
Davison enjoyed Kansas' win against the Salukis, but he is quick to note that the Sooners will be an entirely different matter. The Sooners, he said, are going to pass and pass, and then pass some more.
"We're not going to shut them out," Davison said. "They throw an awful lot. But we think we can keep up with them."
He said as a group, the secondary was playing well and needed to continue its strong play.
Allen said he hoped the extra time spent focusing on Oklahoma would give Kansas an advantage.
"It was a calculated risk," Allen said.
"Did I think long about it? Yeah. Could it be scary? Yeah. But it should give us a leg up next week."

Rugby rich in history
Team ready for intense competition
By Michael Sudhalter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The University of Kansas Rugby Club has the essential elements of intense competition, rivalry and tradition that make a team unique.
Coach Rick Renfro, who has been associated with the
Kansas rugby program since 1975, describes the sport as tackle basketball.
"When Naismith invented basketball, he said it was indoor rugby." Renfo said.
While the more popular sport of basketball has evolved into a game very different from rugby, the older sport has expanded on college campuses. There now are 450 university clubs teams in the United States.
Despite its early roots, the game has more in common with football and soccer. Rugby consists of a try, which is worth five points
THORNTON
and the equivalent to a touchdown in football. Three points can be gained from penalty kicks, and two points are awarded for field goals. Two 40-minute halves make up the game.
To prepare the 30-member squad for the nonstop competition, team captain J.P. Davies, Overland Park junior, schedules a variety of different workouts.
"We do lots of running and conditioning," Davies said. "Simply playing rugby is a workout because it is constantly going."

This year's team will attempt to overcome the graduation of eight seniors. Its success will rely heavily on newcomers, who make up half the squad.
Unlike many of the newcomers, one player has prior experience because of the sport's exposure in his homeland, Canada.
"I am looking forward to pliying new positions and learning new stuff about the short." Keselvak said.
Brian Keselyak
Vancouver, Canada, freshman, he played rugby during high school.
Davies said the Jayhawks would play a variety of teams before their serious intercollegiate play began.
"We will play men's club teams from the Kansas City area as well as Division II
teams such as Central Missouri State, Pittsburgh State and Southwest Missouri State." he said.
While the non-conference intercollegiate matches give the Jayhawks experience, the matches also present a different type of game plan.
"Those non-conference teams are less technically sound, but their play is more aggressive," said Brent Zluticky, Wichita junior and club president.
The club competes in the three-member Heart of America Union division, part of the Western Rugby Union conference. In order to qualify for the Western regionals, the team must defeat or tie the other two members, Kansas State and Truman State.
The spirit of the rivalry with Truman State has taken on a life of its own.
"We gear our entire season around the two matches with Truman State," Davies said. "The rivalry is good because it gives us a goal to work towards every year."
While the Jayhawks have a few heated rivals on the field, Davies said the teams had time to enjoy some camaraderie after the matches.
On the field, you hate the other team, but both teams hang out and socialize after the game," he said.

Home is where the burnt bluegrass is
By Chris Wristen

Kansas sportwriter
Crisp winds blew across the Kansas wasteland yesterday or, more specifically, the biggest piece of wasted land in Lawrence SuperTarget Field
Built in 1995 to be the home of the Kansas soccer team, SuperTarget Field, 19th Street and Naismith Drive, has remained dormant this fall. For the second time in its three-year history, the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Classic tournament was forced to find a new location after the home field was deemed unplayable.
"We just had an awful summer," said Darren Cook, director of facilities for athletics. "The temperatures were extreme. We did a lot of watering and tried to maintain it but we just got caught with the heat."
Those extreme temperatures
included two 109-degree days three weeks ago that scalded the bluegrass field. The aftermath of the heat was three burnt scars and a broken sprinkler head that flooded part of the field. Efforts were made to combat the heat, but all were unsuccessful.
"The sodding in August we did in preparation for the first couple of matches didn't make it because of the heat." Cook said.
A second round of sodding began Thursday. The three burnt spots were torn up, and new bluegrass sod was laid. Immediate watering began in hopes of helping the grass become playable soon.
Kansas' last two scheduled home matches are Friday, Oct. 6, against Texas Tech and Sunday, Oct. 8, against Colorado.
Problems from the beginning This isn't the first time games
"We're shooting to get our last two matches there." Cook said.
have been relocated from SuperTarget Field. Games have been moved in the past because of flooding problems.
A donation from Target, combined with Athletic Department funding, allowed $200,000 to go toward the building of the field behind Oliver Hall.
During the program's first five seasons, four home games were relocated because of soggy conditions on the field, including three in 1998.
When ground was leveled to build the field, the good topsoil was removed to flatten the surface, leaving a layer of clay as the base for the field. The topsoil was respread across the field, but when it was removed, it became mixed with clay, leaving a clay-based surface that few grasses will grow on. Cook said. He said that clay held water rather than letting it soak into the ground or drain off the field.
While clay causes the flooding

problem, the bluegrass is the cause of heat-related problems. Cook said. Rather than spending $80,000 on Bermuda grass
for the field in 1996, Kansas opted for $30,000 bluegrass.

Olympics lack spirit they had in Atlanta
A little more than a week into the Olympics, and the thrill is already gone.
Sydney 2000 fever, which was supposed to captivate a nation and conjure up 1996 Atlanta memories of Kerri Strug's vault and Michael Johnson's record-breaking sprints, has left.
Or was it even there to begin with? After hearing all the hype surrounding the games, such as bizarre ads about how some company claims it makes the Official (insert product name here) of the U.S. Olympic Team, it's hard to not be apathetic.
It all started with the opening ceremonies. Hours of coverage of an event that, while probably entertaining in person, can be compared to watching grass grow. It was estimated that Billions of people worldwide at least caught a glimpse of the opening ceremonies.
Billions? That's a lot of bored people. Why watch things like four-person teams from obscure Pacific Island countries walking around the track when there's a Facts of Life marathon on Nick at Nite?
Throw in NBC's delayed coverage of Olympic events, and the drama is totally gone. The Internet has made prime-time coverage of the games a joke when people can log onto Web sites such as espn.com each morning and see the results of events not televised until that night.
And half of NBC's coverage consists of athlete profiles about someone who beat the odds to make it to Sydney and his/her Olympic dreams. A nice thought, but it's kind of ridiculous for people to get teyeary about an obscure athlete who overcame (insert setback here) to become one of the best team handball players in the world.
America also doesn't need hundreds of hours of Olympic coverage. Talk about overkill. People don't care to see Bob Costas talking up ridiculous sports like synchronized swimming and how the U.S. has probably always dominated it. It would be interesting to see what Costas, who is one of the most respected and intelligent American journalists, says when the camera is turned off. Probably something like, "Pass me a Foster's."
And you thought the University of Kansas was commercialized for its contract with Coke? Take a look at the Olympics.
What makes the whole matter even worse is the scandal that has followed the International Olympic Committee. The IOC had to expel members for the first time in its 105-year history for accepting bribes related to awarding Salt Lake City the 2002 Winter Olympics. It's hard to respect an event that is supposed to be about pride rather than money when top-level Olympic officials get caught accepting tainted money.
Americans now can win stuff such as free Big Macs at McDonald's, which, well, OK, free food is cool. But Big Macs and Egg McMuffins shouldn't be associated with great athletes, and Ronald McDonald has never won an Olympic medal.
But there could be a light at the end of the tunnel. The 2004 summer games will be in Athens, the birthplace of the Olympics. Hopefully, Greece will put on a traditional show that focuses on the actual events rather than making money off the games and lose the negative Olympic baggage.
Because it's hard to respect an event that gives gold medals for table tennis.

Graduation can require more than four years
By Becky Lake Special to the Kansan
Your parents want you to do it. Your professors might expect you to do it. Your older sister sure did it. Perhaps you wanted to do it as well. But then there was that nine-hour semester, those classes that weren't really necessary and those passing grades that, unfortunately, were.
Whatever the reason and whatever the expectations, graduating in four years isn't that common among University of Kansas students, and hasn't been for a long time.
"Out of the whole group of about 20 of us that lived on my dorm floor freshman year, I'd say maybe three graduated in four years," said Sarah Galloway, who graduated last spring.
Galloway's peer group is not far from the official statistics. Of freshman entering the University in 1993, only 23.4 percent graduated in four years. According to the Office of Institutional Research and Flanning, 47.1 percent of the class of '93 graduated in five years, and by the time six years passed, 53.1 percent had graduated. There's not much new here — the statistics have remained consistent for the past 20 years.
Delaying reasons
Diana Carlin, dean of graduate school and international programs, said the reasons students take longer than four years to graduate varied.
"There are many reasons," she said. "You have a certain cluster of students who naturally aren't going to graduate in four years. The bottom line is there is no single explanation. For each student who starts here and doesn't graduate in four, there's an individual reason."
Reasons for an extended stay at the University can range from lack of planning to lack of financial assistance. Some students simply need some time to figure out what they want to do in the world.
Aaron Champion, Overland Park senior, said his lack of direction in his first few years at the University affected his graduation time.
"It's very difficult for a freshman coming into the University who doesn't know what they want to do to get started on a four-year plan," said Champion, who plans to graduate in five and a half years. "As far as four-year degrees, it takes a certain kind of person, taking 15 to 18 hours a semester, to get through."
Still other students find they can't obtain the schedules they need to graduate. Danny Rogovein, who graduated in May, took six years to earn his B.F.A. in theater design. Rogovein said this was partly because he didn't get the schedules he wanted.
"It's a combination of probably not 100 percent effort and classes not being offered in a manner conducive to graduating in four years," he said.
Rogovein said costume design, a class necessary for his major, was offered every third semester, and he was not able to get into the class when he wanted. He had to wait a year and a half to take the class.
"The theater design program is kind of weird in that it's part fine arts and part CLAS." he said. "It makes it kind of weird in scheduling things."
Carlin said students needed to be flexible as to what classes they would take.
"If you say you're just going to take classes between 10:30 and 1:30, you're not going to get out of here on time." Carlin said.
In addition to flexibility in scheduling, Carlin said students should take advantage of the advising KU offers them.
"To try to increase the number of students who graduate in four years, I really think there needs to be good advising and flexibility of the student," she said.
See FOUR-YEAR on page 78
Yet being flexible and meeting regularly with an adviser can't overcome other obstacles prolonging the track to graduation. Many students work to support themselves through school, limiting the number of hours they can take per semester.
"A lot of students are self-supporting and may be not taking a full load because they're working 80-40 hours a week," she said.
Overcoming the barriers
Carlin said she recognized that work- ing was a factor affecting students.

Owning business presents perils, prize
By Louise Stauffer Kansan correspondent
Every morning in Lawrence, entrepreneurs open their doors and take numerous risks, all for the sake of owning their own business.
Lawrence is a place where locally-owned businesses thrive, with owners varying in education, financial status, and experience. At a glance, the ingredient to a successful business seems simple; a darn good idea. But there's more to it than that.
"The best advice I can give you is to start small," said Jeff Morrow, professor of business. "Too many people go into business and spend way too much money at the beginning.
"When I started Yello Sub in 1979, it was just a hole in the business. Businesses that fall often don't start out in garages. You need to build up to it," he said.
Morrow owned Yello Sub until he sold it in 1988.
Mark and Kathy Swanson, owners of Hobbs, 700 Massachusetts St., and Spectator's, 710 Massachusetts St., also started small.
"Our first store was 800 square feet," said Mark Swanson, who has been self-employed since the age of 18. "Now Spectator's is 3,000 square feet."
Young entrepreneurs are learning from the example that role models have set. Today's entrepreneurs expect to start successful businesses earlier than the previous generation.
"People do want to get started younger," Morrow said. "But they need to have a few years of real-world employment first, and I think that they realize that."
Morrow is also the adviser of the student organization Students In Free Enterprise.
"There are so many opportunities for young entrepreneurs right now, such as The Rudd Family Entrepreneural Fund," he said.
The Rudd Family Entrepreneurial Fund is a private, nonprofit organization founded by Leslie Rudd. One million dollars was set aside and will be invested in a student's business plan that is approved by the Fund's Board of Directors.
To be eligible for the program, a student must be enrolled at the University of Kansas. Students interested in submitting proposals can
pick up applications and instruction forms through each School of Business faculty member as well on the Rudd Foundation Web site: www.rudd-foundation.org.
Business owners unanimously agree that having a strong work ethic is vital to starting a business.
"If you are wanting to own your own business, you need to go into it being prepared to work harder than you would for someone else," said Becky Bowers, co-owner of Penny Annie's Sweet Shoppe and Popcorn, 845 Massachusetts St., with her daughter. Swanson agrees.
"Owning a business is a lifelong commitment," he said. "When it's yours, you don't walk away. If it fails, we fail."
Many students studying business see advantages and drawbacks of owning their own business.
"I would like to get into owning my own business eventually. There is a lot of risk involved, but the payoffs are substantial," said Greg Jarrell, Lawrence senior in business communications.
Risk taking is a thing all business owners experience.
"The risk is high." Swanson said. "I am constantly nervous, and there is always pressure, but that's what makes it good."
Most beginning entrepreneurs need to take out loans to start their business endeavors.
"Make sure you have a good credit report." Morrow said.
Swanson likened owning a business to having a child.
"No matter how many times your mom tries to tell you what they're like, until you have one yourself you'll never understand," she said.

These days, every business seems to have a Web site.
However, in our high-tech world, more businesses are based solely online. With this increasingly popular trend in business, some Jayhawks are also jumping on the wagon to start e-businesses.
Three men with University of Kansas ties have started Digital Evolution, a full-service Internet provider. The company consists of Neal Charma, 24, who has an MBA from KU, Dale Hazlett, a 29-year-old graduate student working on his MBA and Law degrees, and Jasvindarjit Singh, 30, who holds degrees in Computer and Electrical Engineering as well as an MBA.
Their site, www.digitalev.com,
has been in operation since
November. It specializes in
Internet applications, databases,
corporate portables and multimedia for businesses.
John C. Nguyen, 23, is the creator of blue DoJO Studios, an online Web design firm. Nguyen is a '99 graduate in Chemistry and Biochemistry. He originally intended to enter medical school, but he found his niche in Web design and started his own Internet business two years ago with the help of his brothers, Jim, Wichita senior, and Hung, Wichita sophomore.
The site. www蓝联dojoestudios.com, specializes in helping students and businesses set up their own Web sites. The brothers also operate and the online community www.vsacentral.com, which serves as a forum for different chapters of Vietnamese Student Association. The site offers chat rooms, message boards and activity listings for members to interact and embrace Vietnamese culture.

manages for separate reasons. The Digital Evolution group did because they weren't comfortable with the idea of working under someone.
"It's risky to trust someone with your destiny," Charma said. "You could be laid-off, or become a result of downsizing because of a merger."

Multiple majors demand motivation, commitment
By Adam Pracht
Ask most college students if they would take 18 hours a semester or give up their precious summer vacation to go to summer school, and they might look at you as if you had just asked them to test a new parachute-free skydiving technique.
Kansan correspondent
You won't get that look from Kodi Tillery, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore. She is a double major in broadcast news and English.
Tillery came to the University of Kansas last year with 22 credit hours. She said she hoped that a double major would help her achieve her career goal of becoming an anchor for a news program.
Double majors are rare, said Pam Houston, director of program coordination in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. She said that of the 214 seniors who graduated this summer, only 14 had two majors.
"It will really give me an edge on other people when I search for a job," she said.
Sally Frost Mason, dean of liberal arts and sciences, said few tried for two majors because it was hard work.
Frost Mason characterized the typical double-major student as a hard worker and fairly focused in the work they want to do.
Frost Mason said getting two degrees is possible, but requires self-motivation and good planning. The core classes for most CLAS majors are identical, and some classes may apply to both majors.
"It doesn't hurt to be very bright, but I wouldn't say that's the only criteria here," she said.
However, if the curriculum is not carefully planned, it is possible that two degrees may take more than the usual four years.
"We don't encourage that if we can help it." Frost Mason said.
Despite the extra work, there also are significant benefits. Frost Mason said she encouraged the extra work for the broader range of curriculum, ideas and the diverse courses that a double major would open up to the student.
Working on a double major doesn't have to mean students put the rest of their lives on hold. Tillery still manages to find time for social interaction, working for a TV station and helping to organize the Pre-Journalism club.
"I think that if you have more than one interest, it's really good," Tillery said. "If you can handle it, then I recommend it."
There are many combinations for students' double majors. Psychology combined with human development and family life is probably one of the most common, Houston said. Many students also choose a foreign language as their second major or choose two majors in closely-related fields.
Students also have the option of a minor in a variety of fields; the college alone offers minors in 27 different fields and the
professional schools offer some minors as well. Completing a minor is a viable option for students who feel they don't have the time for a double major. Minors require much less commitment, as most require only 18-21 hours of credit in classes specific to the minor.
For underclassmen, the Freshman-
Sophomore Advising Center is available
for more information at 864-2834.
Upperclassmen should contact CLAS
Undergraduate Services at 864-3500.
Students also can contact advisers in both
majors they are considering.
Of course, there can be too much of a good thing. Some students seek more than two degrees.
"Just today we had a student come in that was wanting to declare his fourth major," Houston said.

CLEVELAND — the nine-to-five work day is on its way out, say executives poiled by Management Recruiters International Inc.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Poll says nine to five not way to make living
Of 3,500 executives responding. 61 percent indicated that they believed the traditional workday would disappear within the next decade. Chief factors driving the change are telecommuting and flexible work options.
"With Americans working longer, working from home and even working while on vacation, it's no wonder that most believe working a nine-to-five workday will soon be obsolete," said Allen Salikof, MRI president and CEO.
that's hurting many stocks, according to Nextera Enterprises, a management consulting firm.
Employee turnover rate hurts company stocks
"Employee turnover is draining profitability from companies in many industries," said Jude Rich, chairman of Gibson & Company, the Nextera subsidiary that conducted a study on the effect of employee turnover and replacement costs on businesses. The study suggests that earnings and stock prices were reduced by an average of 38 percent in four high turnover industries — specialty retail, call center services, high tech and fast food. Replacement costs may be just part
PRINCETON, N.J. — In the tight labor market, workers are on the move, and
Replacement costs may be just part of the picture, according to Sibson.
"Employee turnover has a significant effect on companies' top lines by inhibiting their ability to keep current customers, acquire new ones, increase productivity and quality, and pursue growth opportunities," said Seymour Burchman, a Sibson principal.
CLEMSON, S.C. — A child's future career may depend on how he expands his interests now, says a career specialist at Clemmon University.
Children should be encouraged to discover and explore those interests, said Heather Karns, education career services coordinator at Clemson.
Future careers depend on childhood interests
"Parents can help their children investigate careers and jobs and even seek out adults in various careers for children to identify with," she said.
"It's also helpful to share stories and ideas about a variety of employment opportunities and not just focus on one type of labor force or professional area." Self-exploration also is an important factor.
"If a person does not know himself or herself well, then it will be difficult to find fulfilling employment," Karns said. "And if a parent can help a child learn about what he or she likes to do, then
the parent will help the child out tremendously."
Online degree offered in fashion management
To qualify, candidates must have graduated from a four-year accredited institution or completed at least 30 transferable credits (24 in liberal arts) from an accredited college.
This fall, FT inaugurated its one-year program through the State University of New York's Learning Network. The fall semester already is underway, and the spring semester begins Saturday, Feb. 4, 2001.

CLAS services focus on graduation
Bv Saiu Na'alla
Kansan correspondent
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers its 13,000-plus students access to specialized services geared toward helping them have successful college careers.
CLAS is one of 14 academic divisions at the University of Kansas, Pam Houston, undergraduate director, said the college was the major entry point for the University. Undergraduates planning to attend one of the KU professional schools — allied health, business, education, journalism, nursing, pharmacy or social welfare — are required to take from one to three years of prescribed liberal arts and science courses.
Houston said that Undergraduate Services, which works closely with CLAS undergraduates, answered questions about the college and graduation requirements. The college, with the help of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, advises a variety of students on
all aspect of their college career.
"Undergraduates should take advantage of this service, mainly because it ensures that students graduate on time," Houston said.
"We try to assist students in their academic and social development," she said.
"The FSAC is more than just academic advising, that is why we try our best to advise on how to be a well-rounded student."
All undergraduates are required to seek academic advice from one of many full- and part-time advisers. Advisers clarify degree requirements and answer academic questions for students.
Janet Chebet, Nairobi, Kenya, sophomore, said she found it hard to adjust when she arrived from Kenya during the winter.
Gloria Flores, associate director of the freshman-sophomore advising center, said that undergraduates were encouraged to periodically check in with their advisers.
Chetbet said her adviser, Tammara Durham, provided valuable advice and helped her through the culture shock.
"She helped me choose my classes, then told me of ways to adjust to the winter weather," Chebet said. "She also told me of places where I could go to shop and encouraged me to join some clubs and associations."
For junior and seniors, CLAS offers advising tailored to their needs. The graduation advising service evaluates students' academic records and assists them in developing a plan for graduation.
Sarah Hoppe, Louisburg senior, said that looking back on her college career she wished that she had seen her adviser more often when she transferred to the University about three years ago.
"I took classes that I did not need to take." Home said.
Another program offered by the college is Supportive Educational Services, open to all KU students. The program is designed to provide comprehensive academic and personal support services for 240 undergraduate students who meet federal eligibility criteria. Tutoring, personal and academic counseling, and access to a special computer lab are some of the services provided.
To encourage and develop outstanding undergraduate, the college provides a University-wide honors program.
"Weadminister the program," Houston said. "But-it is open to majors from all schools and CLAS undergraduates."
Probation/Monitored Advising helps undergraduates who are doing poorly in school by providing support and helping them get back on track. The college provides a one-hour-credit course for students placed on monitored probation.
"Nearly half of KU's students who earn their bachelor's degree graduate from the CLAS." she said.

Houston said the services provided by CLAS were important because they helped undergraduates stay on track.
Center offers guidance for freshmen, sophomores
By Cassandra Tavlor
Special to the Kansan
One twenty-six Strong Hall is home to the Freshman Sophomore Advising Center, a help haven for underclassmen searching for academic counseling.
I don't know what you're asking. I'm not sure if it's a question or just a statement. I'll try to provide the most accurate information possible.
The center gives students a chance to speak one-on-one with an adviser by appointment, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Its mission: to inform students about personal and academic resources.
Freshman are automatically enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences upon entering the University of Kansas, unless they have been accepted to one of the professional schools that allow first-year students.
The other professional schools require students to take CLAS courses, and they update the FSAC on current requirements and changes in the curriculum. The FSAC works to help students meet these requirements and those for degrees offered in the college.
Sarah Tate, Overland Park sophomore, said her counselor was a big help in selecting her major, journalism.
"She was helpful with my schedule and planning out for every year." she said.
The students and advisers share responsibility in the process. Advisers are available for different student needs, and the FSAC offers advising programs for some of the professional schools.
Gloria Flores, associate director of the FSAC, said that the center focused on undecided students, and that all freshmen were assigned an academic adviser within the first two weeks of school. The center helps with topics such as current issues with the student, add-drop dates and interest codes.
"We don't just help with course selection," Flores said. "We're a whole lot more than that."

FSAC also focuses on helping students with academic challenges.
"We help guide students, suggest ways to improve study and time-management skills, and ways to explore their career options," Flores said.
She said the center was attempting to formally contact all advises to come to one of the academic advising meetings in October. The meetings will address topics such as class
progression, the pre-enrollment advising meeting and the enrollment process. Advisers assist students with finding out when to apply for admission and the recommended grade
point average for different professional schools.
Flores said that students should schedule a meeting with an adviser well before enrollment time because the busiest
time of year in the FSAC is during fall and spring enrollment. More information about the center's services is available at www.ukans.edu/~advising.

Graduates offer job-hunting tips
Career placement services offered in most schools
By Denene Brox
By Denene Brox Kansan correspondent
Students nearing the end of their college careers know that the search for a full-time job can be a job in itself.
They can do many things early in their college careers to improve the chances of finding employment before graduation. With career placement centers and advisers on campus, students can access career information easily.
But sometimes the best sources for job-search advice are those who just completed the hunt.
"I started looking for jobs the first day of senior year," said financial analyst Brandon LaBarge, a 1999 KU graduate in business administration. "I signed up with the Business Career Placement Center in Summerfield Hall, signed up for interviews and proceeded to
interview and post resumes to dozens of companies."
The career placement centers on campus give resume and cover letter advice, interviewing tips and internship opportunities. The KU Career Counseling and Planning Service gives students career assessments and a Strong Interest Inventory. Help is also available in choosing a college major.
Internships can be invaluable for gaining experience and knowledge.
"Find applicable jobs relating to what you are interested during your summers, and then find an internship with a company before your senior year," LaBarge said. "The experience you gain will either let you know that you should switch majors or give you valuable contacts that will help you in finding a job."
Tauni Brooks, Quinter senior in business administration with an emphasis in advertising, said she was scared about finding a job after graduating in December.
"I'm scared about the big lifestyle change I'm facing," Brooks said. "Not necessarily the 9 to 5, but the real world. In three

months, there's no going to class for three or four hours a day and that's all."
Brooks said she started thinking about finding a job on the first day of classes. She has used the Internet to search for opportunities. She posted her resume on www.jobdirect.com to find internships and has received one call so far.
Brooks said she also recently visited the journalism school's career center and has more confidence in finding a job because of the help she received. She said the center was willing to help with the whole job search process.
LaBarge said that on a scale of one to 10, with 10 being the hardest, securing a position in his field of study rated a seven.
"Many of the jobs were very competitive," LaBarge said. "At the time, a major company in the area enacted a hiring freeze policy. Thus, there were more people searching for fewer jobs."
Above all, LaBarge advised students not to be in a hurry to finish college. He said his years at KU were valuable, and he wouldn't change a thing.
One job-hunting tip LaBarge offered was to follow up on all leads. He said he landed his favorite summer job because he went back to the company five times to check for openings.
"I later found out by my boss that they were so tired of me showing up and asking the difficult questions that they gave me the job." he said. "The squeaky wheel always gets the oil."
Internships provide trial run of future
By Andrea White
Kansan correspondent
Real world experience, job hunting skills, resume enhancement and a little extra money in your pocket are all benefits to working an internship, said Donna Naab, assistant director for University Career and Employment Services.
Naab said that skills learned through an internship often could be very useful after a student graduates. An internship also could help students further their education by allowing them to try out a job in their potential career.
"They help you hone in on what your actual career interest may be." Naab said.
Companies look for the same qualities in an intern that they would an employee, such as communication skills, motivation and academic achievement, Naab said.
The employment market is very good right now, and employers are willing to employ students who have interest in their area and are likely to be good workers, Naab said.
Types of internships vary, from paid and unpaid jobs to volunteer opportunities. Students can also use internships to earn credit hours toward their degree.
"Go to your undergraduate adviser, tell them you would be interested in doing an internship for credit and ask them what are the possibilities." Naab said.
One misconception that students often have is that they must wait until they are juniors or seniors before they can get an internship.
"You can start doing internships immediately." Naab said. "I would recommend a student who is finishing their freshmen year who might have an idea of what they think they want to do, to do an internship in an organization where they might be getting experience in that field."
For students unsure about how to find this type of work, the
"We also can help students to develop learning objectives that are very useful when they go to an organization."
Donna Naab
assistant director of University Career
and Employment Services
UCES posts listings of internships on its Web site at www.ukans.edu/~uces. The office also maintains files of different opportunities for student use.
"We help identify the process for seeking out internships," Naab said. "We also can help students to develop learning objectives that are very useful when they go to an organization."
Students also can hunt for opportunities on Web sites such as jobweb.org and Internship-
Naab suggests starting to look early in the spring semester for a summer internship. UCES has a career and employment fair in early February where many potential employers hire interns.
Programs.com.
Jeff White, Topeka senior, worked for a booking agent last summer. He said he learned not only about the profession, but how to work with people.
"I learned the more work you do informally the more work you get done, if you get to know people on a first-name basis." White said.
White said he had used the resources available at UCES when he was looking for an internship.
"They had a lot more than I thought they did," he said. "Anybody who doesn't use the University and Career Employment Services resources are out of their mind, not only for internships but also for careers later. There are just so many things people don't know about."
Good resumes help students land perfect job
Kansan correspondent
Bv Patrick Cadv
Many dream of finding the perfect job. Whether searching for a creative job or one that rakes in a lot of money, the first step is creating an attractive resume.
"The resume is a snapshot of who you are and what you offer to an employer," said Gall S. Rooney, director of the University Career and Employment Center Services. "You want that snapshot to be so good they want to interview you."
Usually the first communication with an employer, the resume summarizes past work experience, education and accomplishments.
Edited by Erin McDaniel
To Devon Villalpando,
Minneapolis, Kan., senior, the
resume represents her past
and future.
"The resume was a list of my proudest achievements," Villalbando said.
Quality resumes often target a certain employer or job, Rooney said.
"You build your resume to match the employer," Rooney said. "It may be appropriate to have a creative resume for an advertising firm or a design studio, but a wacky resume might not be appropriate to a bank."
Other pitfalls sometimes get in the way of those writing their first resume or whom are new to the job market.
"Employers tell us that the worst mistake is to have typing errors or grammar mistakes present on the resume." Rooney said.
The University Career and Employment Center Services is located on the first floor of the Burge Union, offers seminars, free literature and job placement services. It helps students create resumes and use online resources.
Web sites such as Monster.com have been making waves by giving job seekers an opportunity to post
RESUME TIPS
- Write clearly and concisely
- Use active verbs
Be reflective of your personality
Include an e-mail address
If you don't have much
- Keep it about one page long
Edit carefully for spelling or grammar errors
Keep it about one page long
Have three people proof-read your resume

their resumes online, where employers have direct access to them.
Rooney she was doubtful, however, about the impact of these sites.
"The research I've seen recently shows that employers are hiring only 10 percent to 15 percent of their employees from job boards and find the rest from campus interviews and employee referrals." Rooney said.
A good resume can benefit job seekers with all levels of work experience and employment goals.
"Even on some of the applications for part-time jobs, if you attach a resume I've found that it looks like you have gone beyond the call of duty." Villalpando said.
Even to those without much work experience, having a resume can prove advantageous.
"I found that it was important to include past experience and volunteer activities," said James Breckenridge, Coffeyville sophomore.
To find the perfect job to suit you, Rooney offers this suggestion:
"Look for a job that is a reflection of yourself and the best place to meet your needs."

Study abroad helps students choose majors, see the world
By Jennifer Brown Kansan correspondent
Mary Simon had no idea what to major in when she arrived at the University of Kansas.
What helped Simon decide did not lie within the subjects offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, but in an opportunity she discovered while studying abroad.
Simon, a Wichita junior, found an opportunity to reduce her four semesters of required Spanish to one she spent the semester at a Spanish university. "I could get Spanish out of the way quickly and actually learn the language better than I would have if I dragged it out over four semesters," Simon said. "I would also keep up with my other subjects and have great fun as well."
was forced to learn the language — it's the best way," she said. "I also visited so many places all over Europe, and the friends I made came from all over the world and they will last a lifetime."
So Simon became one of 1,000 KU students who packed their bags and headed off to a distant corner of the world to study.
Simon attended the University of Malaga in Ronda, Spain, last spring. Her trip did more than get her Spanish credits out of the way.
"I could get Spanish out of the way quickly and actually learn the language better than I would have if I dragged it out over four semesters."
"I lived with a Spanish family and

Communications and Spanish.
David Wiley, study abroad outreach coordinator, said that study abroad was a great opportunity for students with a program to suit everyone. While some students have a specific idea about where they want to go and why, others just want to experience something different, he said.
"Some people come in with ideas to go to particular cities, but when they see the options and hear more about the programs they can find somewhere that suits them even better." Wiley said.
Simon now is taking more Spanish classes and is looking forward to studying abroad again, this time in Paraguay in the spring. She plans to spend eight months at another university improving her language skills

and making more international friends and connections.
Simon hopes to graduate in May 2002 and although she still is not committed to an occupation, she wants to use Spanish in her career. She also is considering living in South America for a while and then traveling through Europe.
Wiley said he was pleased at the number of freshmen who came to the recent Study Abroad Fair because going abroad can be a great opportunity to help students make decisions about their degrees.
Wiley said his experience as a student studying in Sweden was awesome, but he stressed that it didn't matter where a student went as long as it was different.
Any student wanting to know more about study abroad can attend one of the daily information meetings in 203 Lippincott Hall.

African language classes can stir career ambitions
Two students in the African Language class Kiswahili 110 hope the course will help them find careers in Africa.
"I was touched and moved from learning about the different religions, arts, the beautiful landscape and the people of the different regions of $\Delta$ Frica." Naasz said.
Naasz took other African classes to learn more about the continent. The more classes she took, the more her interest in Africa grew, she said.
When Naasz came to the University of Kansas, she didn't know what career she wanted to pursue. She only knew that whatever she chose would involve helping people. She took Introduction to African History and instantly was captivated, she said.
Meghan Collar, Overland Park senior, and Melanie Naasz, Wichita Junior, both are in their third semester of Kiswahili, with just one more semester to go. They hope that learning the east African language will bring them closer to their dreams of working in Africa.
"Africa is a beautiful country, rich with culture and heritage," Naasz said. "I want a chance to experience that and at the same time help to make things better."
"Then one day, it hit me," Naasz said. "Whatever career I chose, it would involve working in Africa. I am in love with that place."
Naasz's major now is African studies.
According to the African Studies department, the program's goal is to deepen the knowledge and enrich understanding of the history and culture of African people.
Collar said she wanted to join the Peace Corps, and Kiswahili was the third language class she had enrolled in, along with French and Chinese. Collar said that the more languages she became familiar with, the more valuable she would be to the Peace Corps.
Traveling to distant countries won't be a new experience for Collar. Her sophomore year, she took a semester off to go to China, where she studied the language and taught English. She said the experience in China strengthened her determination to join the Peace Corps.
Like Naasz, Collar would like to work in Africa but said she was willing to work anywhere in the world. Collar said she planned to double major in African Studies and either humanities or environmental studies. If she majored in environmental studies, she would have two career options: health policy consultant or hunger poverty
consultant. Either one, she said, would allow her to work in Africa.
"I am particularly concerned about the AIDS epidemic in some parts of Africa," Collar said.
If she majored in humanities, Collar said she would consider becoming a crosscultural relations specialist or a public relations representative.
Collar already has been interviewed by a Peace Corps recruiter and said she was very excited about the prospect of working for the organization.
"I have always wanted to work in the Peace Corps," she said. "I just like to help people."
Collar said she donated a lot of her time to volunteer work. In her years at the University, she has worked with the disabled and has taught English at the Applied English Center.
Collar said that as a Peace Corps officer she would like to work in AIDS awareness and prevention programs. She loves to teach, and said she also would be interested in teaching English in a foreign country. However, she said she was willing to do whatever she could if it helped her get into the Peace Corps.
"I just want to help," Collar said.

Majors not as important Graduate school plans should start early as some students think Preparation is key, CHOOSING A
Kansan correspondent
College can be overwhelming for freshmen. They must learn to balance schoolwork and social activities. Homesickness and bills are enough to drive even the most stoc students crazy.
In addition to these problems, many undergrads face stress when choosing majors. However, the choices of undergrad majors may not be as important as students think, especially in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"I went through many major changes," said Sandy Seiler, a 1990 University of Kansas graduate in anthropology. "I had no idea at all of what I wanted to do."

He finally chose classics as a major because he enjoyed all the courses he'd taken in that department.

after studying abroad in Costa Rica for a semester. She wanted to work closely with Latin American cultures and spent three years after graduation with the Social Office of Western Missouri as an interpreter to migrant workers.
While many of the pre-professional schools train students in specialized skills, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides a broad base of knowledge that can be used in many fields.
In 1993, she returned to school, this time to the University of Kansas Medical Center, to earn a degree in physical therapy.
Seiler said her experiences made her more well-rounded and that having an anthropology background makes it easier to relate to her patients.
"Liberal arts prepare people to be open to new ideas and to look at the world in new ways," said Donald Stull, professor of anthropology. "It

teaches you to learn and write and think.
We've had students come through the anthropology department and go on to be doctors, lawyers — any number of things."
He spent his first three years tak ing classes that interested him.
Neither Seiler nor Vanderlaan believe they wasted time or money by getting B.A.s that don't necessarily apply to their careers. Vanderlaan thinks college broadened his outlook on life and he strongly believes in the value of knowledge for its own sake.
To current undecided students, Vanderlaan advises them to spend at least three semesters exploring classes in many different fields.
"You're paying all this money," he said. "If you box yourself in by just taking classes you know you can pass them you are denying yourself."
Seller thinks that students should take the job market into consideration when looking for a major or be prepared to get another degree in something else if their interests just aren't marketable.
Stull's advises confused underclassmen to shop around until they know what subject they really love and not to worry about how much money they'll make.
"Find something you would pay people to let you do," he said. "After that, the money will take care of itself."

Preparation is key administrators say
By Andrea White Kansan correspondent
For most University of Kansas students, walking through the Campusile at commencement is the culmination of their educational experiences. But some students find themselves back in class after receiving their degrees, continuing on to graduate school.
Daphne Johnston, assistant dean of graduate programs, said a number of different factors contributed to a student's decision to go to grade school.
"Some of the most common are they are choosing a profession that requires a higher level of education," Johnston said. "Maybe it's an entry for certain professions, for example becoming a lawyer or doctor. In other cases, it may give someone an advantage for finding a job."
Erin Cerny, Lee's Summit, Mo.
graduate student in special educa
"It does get you more money, but also I am the kind of person who likes learning." Cerny said.
Before deciding on KU, Cerny, who received her undergraduate degree from Truman State University in Missouri, looked at a number of different graduate programs. She said academic reputation was one reason she chose KU's graduate school.
"KU is supposed to have the best special education program in the country." Cerny said.
The decision to further one's education is a process that should begin early in the junior year, Johnston said.
"I think the first thing is to do quite a bit of self analysis. What are (your) motives for seeking a graduate degree?" Johnston said.
Johnston suggested trying some of the aptitude tests available at Career Counseling and Planning Services.
Cerny said she had used the CCPS resources when she was having trouble choosing a major.
"I took a couple of tests that they

have," she said. "They helped reinforce what I wanted, and they gave me who to talk to and gave me some resources."
Johnston also advised prospective graduate students to talk to professors, current graduate students and people who were in the profession
She also recommended prospective students begin talking to professors early in their senior year for letters of recommendation for admission.
"Having had the conversation first is good because then the professor and you have had a dialogue about what your goals are and your plans, and they will be in a better position to comment on you as a potential candidate," Johnston said.
Admissions and advising are not the only differences between undergraduate and graduate studies, however. Johnston said expectations and the work load were also different.
"Graduate school is a full-time job. You have to be very self-motivated," she said. "A lot of the checks that are in place at the undergraduate level aren't there. The sheerling and fostering of growth that happens with your professors and even in the school doesn't occur at the graduate level."
Center aids student employment search

Kansan correspondent
University Career and Employment Services has a Web site that can help University of Kansas students organize their career or internship search.
UCES is located at room 110 in Burge Union. Its goal is to increase the success of liberal arts, education, social welfare and fine arts students in their job and internship searches.
The UCES site is www.ukans.edu/-uces. By logging on, students will be able to access a career adviser, set up an appointment for a mock interview, get employment information from around the world, register to post as many as five resumes on the Web, attend on-campus interviews and connect to other employment Web sites.
Gail Rooney, UCES director, said the Internet was a convenient resource.
"The Internet allows students to make connections with employers
and employer opportunities almost immediately and within their own schedules," she said.
One of the site's key features is the CareerConnections system. This online resume program helps students to create professional resumes that can be posted in the Web Resume Book.
Employers interested in hiring a University student can access these resumes online.
Rooney said the advantages of CareerConnections, as opposed to another online program, are that companies only look at KU students and that those companies are screened by UCES.
Kent McAnally, assistant director of UCES, said he encouraged use of the site.
"We push the Web site very strongly because of all the links it provides to a variety of jobs," he said.
In order to use the CareerConnections program, students must register and pay a year-

lv fee of $40.
"Forty dollars is a small investment in terms of finding the best employment that matches you," Rooney said.
For students who want a professional opinion on a resume, the UCES advisers have an online calendar with each of their schedules and open appointment times.
For students who are getting nervous about the big job interview, UCES conducts practice runs. A UCES staff member will assume the role of the employer and conduct the mock interview as if it were an actual one. The interview is videotaped so that the adviser and the student discuss what went well and what needs to be improved.
If students are not sure how to act during an interview, what to wear or how to prepare a resume they can just click on the 'Career Information Library' icon on the UCES site. Listed are a variety of books, videotapes and other various materials that will help students get the information they need to be successful. The actual resources aren't available online, but can be used at the UCES library in Burge Union from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
UCES isn't just for those people who already know what they're majoring in, or know the careers they plan to go into. On the UCES Web site, students can research under their specific area of interest or major. They will not only find many career options but also an extensive list of skills that students will use in that occupation.

School of Engineering lacks female students
Special to the Kansan
By Leah Shaffer
Lindsay Robbins may be one of only a handful of female students in her mechanical engineering classes, but that hasn't stopped her or other women from continuing to pursue their degrees from the School of Engineering.
On a national average, the number of women pursuing degrees in engineering lags behind men in comparison with other mators.
At the University of Kansas, women represent 18.3 percent of the School of Engineering according to Spring 2000 enrollment, Robbins, Olathe sophomore, is majoring in mechanical engineering and is reminded daily of that fact, often
being just one of two girls in some of her large classes.
According to Spring 2000 enrollment, she is one of eight women out of 185 undergraduates in her field. Rather than letting that fact bother her, she said she liked the subjects she pursued in this male-dominated field.
She said to major in engineering, a person had to be proficient in math and physics.
"The hardest thing is getting over stereotypes, thinking you'll come here and it will be an all male-dominated boy's club. Once you are in the school, it is no different; you just get used to having
"I'm a math brain," Robbins said. "When I see the world, all I see are a bunch of math and physics problems."
Erin Anthony, fifth-year architectural engineering student, said she thought the field could be intimidating for women.
lots of guys in your classes.
"A lot of times, they don't try as hard
Jenelle Marsh coordinator, women's engineering programs
in math and sciences that are not quite perceived as a 'girl field,'" Anthony said.
Jenelle Marsh, Lawrence graduate student in civil engineering and coordinator of Women's Engineering Programs, said she would like to even the score a bit for women.
"The hardest thing is getting over stereotypes, thinking you'll come here and it will be an all male-dominated boy's club," Marsh said. "Once you are in the school, it is no different; you just get used to having lots of guys in your classes."
As one of her duties, Marsh coordinates Project Discovery, a week-long summer camp for high school girls dur
ing which they get a chance to explore the varving fields of engineering.
Another event that Marsh organizes is "An Evening with Industry," a corporate dinner with the Society of Women Engineers. Companies donate money for this event, sponsor tables and have dinner to socialize and scope out new talent.
For women and minorities, there also is a large scholarship base to entice the indecisive undergraduate into the engineering program.
Anthony said although trying to complete her engineering degree was hard, she got a lot out of it.
"You get a challenge but you get a sense of accomplishment," Anthony said.

Four-year degrees increasingly rare
Continued from page 1B
David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, said that a 1994 study on how students financed their college educations showed 74.3 percent of KU undergraduates worked while at the University.
"We did find that for freshman students who worked over 21 hours a week, it had a negative impact on their GPA and their involvement on campus," he said.
Ambler said he did not think working, in itself, was an impediment to graduating in four years, and that having a job could actually help a student complete his or her degree.
Ambler said that graduation statistics were skewed somewhat when majors that require five years to complete a degree were included.
"Work doesn't tend to restrict participation until it gets over 21 hours," he said. "There's so many other factors that determine whether a student graduates in four years. In many other studies we've done, working is frequently a positive toward completing your degree."
"Those factors and changing majors probably contribute to a student staying beyond the traditional four years more than a student who works," he said.
Jen Kissel, Stilwell senior, is in the
school of education — which is a five-year program. Kissel said she knew coming into the University that she was going to take five years, and it really didn't bother her.
"I assumed I'd be here longer than four years, and besides, I hadn't heard of anyone getting out in four years," she said.
Other majors, such as architecture and pharmacy, also take more than four years to finish.
Changing majors can also run up the calendar.
Heather Jewell, Jetmore senior, was in the School of Education for a semester before deciding she would rather get a B.G.S in the theater. As a freshman, she had intended to double major in English and theater. Jewell said that switching majors twice delayed her graduation. She received her degree this spring after six years at KU.
"Classes I had taken in CLAS wouldn't transfer to the School of Education," she said. "The transferring from CLAS to the School of Education made me have a lot of credits that weren't worth anything. If I had come into the University knowing I was just going to be a theater major, I probably would have gotten out in four years."
Transfer students also experience the frustration of credit hours that won't transfer, sometimes losing a
semester or two.
Lisa Donnelly, Lawrence senior attended the University of San Diego her freshman year and transferred to KU her sophomore year. Donnelly said that different general education requirements could require her to stay longer.
Still other students cannot blame anything or anybody but themselves.
"It'll probably tack on maybe a semester," she said. "I don't think it's a race to get through"
Rachel Henry, Liberty, Mo., senior, admitted that her study habits during her freshman year would lead to a six-year stay for an education degree.
"My freshman year I went a little crazy, partyed too much and didn't study," she said. "I got put on academic probation. Ever since my freshman year, I've been paying for my mistakes of partying."
Tom Erb, professor of teaching and leadership, said the norm of graduating in four years stemmed from a time when fewer students attended college.
"The expectation for four-year graduation goes back a long time," he said. "I think it was more common earlier in the century than it is now. As we've expanded the percentage of the population that goes on to college, we've also expanded the number of students who have to work to pay for college. When you consider that, the expectation to graduate in four years is less and less."
Yet many students think taking longer to graduate can be beneficial.
Rogovine said the experience he was getting in his major made up for how long it would have taken him to graduate.
"By being here as long as I have been, I've gotten involved with a lot of extracurriculars that have to do with want I want to do in real life, which is live theater," he said. "I'm in a learning environment that I would have to scratch and fight for in the professional world."
Champion agreed.
"I don't think it's a race to get through," he said. "We need to start producing people who are fully educated and are masters of their degree, instead of people who have just graduated with a degree."
Despite the numbers and despite the obstacles, Carlin said it was possible to graduate in four years.
"The goal is to sit down and figure out how you can get out in the shortest period of time and do the things you need to do," she said. "It can be done. We tell parents all those reasons why students don't get out, and it's not because it's impossible."

Nguyen's choice to start an online business was a simple decision — his hobby turned into his career.
"I was introduced to the Internet and was intrigued by it," he said. "I found it easy, and it allowed individuals to express themselves. I wanted to be a part of that."
He said getting his business up and running wasn't too challenging.
"It doesn't take too much to start up a site — the most demanding aspect is time," he said. "Everything that I know about the Internet was self-taught."
Before Charma and his partners launched Digital Evolution, they were trying to find money to support their venture. After a few months of setting up contacts, they were able to access this money from investors who provided them with seed capital.
"Getting started wasn't easy, but it's rewarding." Charma said.
For both businesses, most of the profit comes from consultation, licensing and the work they provide for the business.
"With the Internet, a lot of my business comes through word of
mouth, referring services and personal contacts." Neuvan said.
He also said that the key for people interested in pursuing an online business career was to be motivated, choose something enjoyable and always be aware of what's on the technological forefront. If not, the online business process could fall behind.
"An online business is a risky endeavor," Charma said. "It takes hard work, many sleepless nights. Trust your instincts."
Charma said the relationship with your business partners must have an inherent trust.
Dale Hazlett, one of his partners, recommended reading a lot about the industry and market prospective business owners were interested in.
"You want to be knowledgeable, so be prepared to discuss anything about the market you want to enter," he said.
Charna added that business was still business.
"No matter how the much the Internet has changed everything, it hasn't changed the fundamentals of business," he said.

Watkins office helps lead students down career path
By Jacqueline Lenart
Kansan correspondent
In recent years, it has become one of the most popular schools available at the University of Kansas: the College of Undecided.
Of the more than 13,000 students enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, approximately 3,000 have yet to declare a major.
"I have a wide variety of interests, so it's really hard and a little bit scary to narrow them all down and pick one thing to do," said Shannon-Elizabeth Bickham, Oklahoma City freshman. "Right now, I'm just keeping an open mind and researching careers that I'm interested in."
There are options for students like Bickham The Career Counseling and Planning Services Office, 2124 Watkins Health Center, offers one-on-one career counseling, a career information library, a computerized career exploration program and the Myers-Briggs Personality Test. The Center is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
CCPS is designed for students at all stages of the career-planning process, from those who are clueless about major selection to students who need more information on the careers that they've chosen.
Three counselors are available to see clients, and the center is in the process of adding more. Walkins are accepted, though making an appointment is recommended. A $25 service fee is charged for total services, including all consultation and testing. There is a $9 charge to take the Myers-Briggs test.
Director of CCPS Dick Nelson said the average number of visits to the center per student was three, consisting of an initial interview with a career counselor, testing and an interest

inventory.
"We spend the most amount of time helping students get more information on themselves," Nelson said. "We try to find out what they're looking for in a career."
Students who want to get a better grasp on their personalities and career interests can take the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, a widely used psychological personality test that breaks up test-takers into one of 16 different categories. The test also can be taken online at www.kearsey.com/cgibin/newkts.cgi. If taken at the center, however, counselors are available to perform a detailed analysis of testing results with the student.
Jeff Heidrick, Wichita junior, took the Myers-Briggs test and talked with a counselor his freshman year.
"Taking the test gave me a new set of options that I hadn't considered before," Heidrick said. "A counselor suggested that I take some classes based on my test results, and now I'm majoring in anthropology because of that."
One of many books based on the Myers-Briggs test is *Do What You Are* by Paul D. Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger. After taking the test, the book outlines the 16 different personality types and what each represents. Also included are popular occupations and profiles of professionals' experiences in their career fields for each personality type. Work-related strengths and weaknesses for each type also are given.
"Do What You Are is a great book that can be very helpful," Nelson said. "But the Occupational Outlook Handbook is the best source for students looking for basic career information."
The Occupational Outlook Handbook provides information about working conditions, job tasks, necessary education, average salaries and job prospects. The most recent edition of the handbook can be accessed online at stats.bls.gov/ocohome.htm or by following the link off of the KU Web site for Counseling and Psychological Services. www.ukans.edu/~caps.
For students who already have a particular major in mind, the CCPS offers an Informal Interview. The center will suggest a professional in the student's interested career field that has a minimum of five years experience. Most of these professionals are employed on campus or in the Lawrence area. Also provided is an interview sheet that includes 26 suggested questions for students to ask the professionals.
About 30 percent of the students that seek consultation at CCPS take advantage of this program.
With the variety of career-searching tools available, students such as Bickham have a chance to quiet their fears and leave the College of Undecided.
I wasn't really aware of all of the options that were available to me," Bickham said. "Now my searching process will be somewhat easier."

American industry changes raise questions for investors
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Of the 20 companies with the greatest stock market values in 1982, only five remain on the list. And 10 of the new entries can be broadly categorized as high-tech companies.
That, in a nutshell, is what has happened to American industry during what is sometimes referred to as the most tumultuous expansion ever of the U.S. economy and its stock market.
It's still going on. You needn't be a Las Vegas gambler to bet that some of today's glamour companies will be culled from the list by 2018. The skill will be to name the newcomers. Not then. Now.
These "biggest" lists were compiled from companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index with the greatest market value. Other lists — such as for assets and profits — might vary.
Shares of AT&T, IBM, Exxon and General Electric led the list in 1982. All four are still listed in 2000, but in far different positions. GE is now the largest, but AT&T is 19th, IBM 11th, Exxon fifth. General Motors, fifth in 1982, is off the list in 2000.
In the interim, newer companies, technological creations, have barged onto the list — companies such as Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, Nortel, Oracle, ENC, Sun Microsystems, SBC and Lucent.
As analyzed by Thomas Galvin of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, the greatest change in industry leadership over the years was the displacement of energy by technology and communications services.
So great has been the change that some investors today might be surprised that the 1982 list included Amoco, Shell, Mobil, Schlumberger, Atlantic Richfield, Chevron, Royal Dutch and Texaco.
It poses a significant question for today's investors; if such powerful names could be displaced before, why should we believe that tomorrow's lists won't be changed as radically?
In fact, there's reason to believe they will be. As practiced today, technology is effectively a synonym for change. All is in transition rather than fixed, as it may have seemed in 1982.
And not just in technology.
The most prominent non-tech entry in the year 2000 list is a retailer, Wal-Mart, and one of the more prominent departures from the 1962 list is Sears, Roebuck. Both are representative of the upheavals that eliminated many traditional old retailing names.
One of the big questions now is to anticipate what other great changes might be created by American ingenuity over the next two decades. More than a few futurists see it occurring in energy.
The reasoning here is that the some of the world's most powerful nations are increasingly restless with their dependence on Mideast oil, especially as it involves their national security.
Fuel cells that generate energy through noncombustible means, for example, hold possibilities for the automotive industries, already under environmental pressure, and housing industries.
The technologies involved already have been demonstrated in the space program and in limited commercial installations.
Several large companies, General Dynamics and GE among them, are seeking ways to cuts costs and produce volume products for retail markets.
They aren't the only ones. Scores of small enterprises are working feverishly on fuel cell technologies, some in conjunction with larger companies.
VoiceStream to bring new jobs to Kansas
Who is to say they won't be on the 2018 list?
The Associated Press
WICHITA — VoiceStream Wireless Corp., which opened its new Wichita call center last month, now says it plans to hire twice as many people as originally expected by the end of the year.
The company, based in Bellevue, Wash., said in March that it figured on 450 full-time employees by the end of the year at the new Wichita facility.
So far it's hired about 250, said Jerry Maloney, site director of the customer service center, and it plans to have nearly 900 on the job by the end of the year.
VoiceStream provides digital wireless communications services and the Wichita service center is one of 10 in the country.
The workers earn a base pay of $8.25 per hour, with a shift differential for nights, weekends or holidays.
The company provides free coffee and soda to its workers, and there's a fitness center with showers and $50,000 worth of equipment. The new building is 90 percent complete and about 35 percent occupied, with a grand opening planned Nov. 1.
John Rolfe, vice president of development for the Wichita Area Chamber of Commerce, said VoiceStream's revised hiring plans will give Wichita more than 4,000 people working at area call centers.
Nationwide, VoiceStream is the fourth largest wireless provider behind AT&T Wireless, Sprint PCS and Nextel. It has 2.5 million customers, many coming through acquisitions.
Millions opt to stay away from Internet
AUSTIN, Texas — The head of the Texas AFL-CIO understands technology's benefits for future generations of workers. But Joseph Gunn's personal office is devoid of computers, and he would rather let his wife and staff surf the Internet on his behalf.
The Associated Press
"To some degree, I feel bliss in being ignorant," said Gunn, 69, one of millions of Americans saying no to the Net.
A study released Thursday by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that more than half the American adults who do not use the Internet have little or no desire to get online.
About 50 percent of American adults said they were not Internet users. Thirty-two percent of that group — or 31 million Americans — said they definitely would not go online. An additional 25 percent said they probably wouldn't go online. Fear and a lack of interest are among the main reasons.
Fifty-four percent of all nonusers believe the Internet is dangerous, and 51 percent do not believe they are missing anything, according to Pew. The findings were primarily based on an April telephone survey of 2,503 adults and have a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
The numbers suggest, however, that the Net naysayers will decline over time. While nearly three-quarters of nonusers older than 50 said they did not plan to get Internet access, only one third of their younger counterparts planned to stay Neless.
Universal access may never be achievable, said Tara McPherson, a University of Southern California professor who studies access to technology. She said a small number of Americans remained without phones or television sets today, often by choice.

University of Minnesota pushed to work closer with businesses
By KRT News Service
Campus Inc.? Not quite.
Still, America's great research universities — including the University of Minnesota — moved decisively toward the business world after greater competition from abroad led Congress to pass the Bayh-Dole Act. This 1980 legislation, which gave universities the right to patent the results of federally funded research, paved the way for closer ties between campuses and companies.
The goal is to unearth and profit from innovations that otherwise would gather dust in the obscure labs of academe. These innovations, if brought to market successfully before 1980, would not have brought financial benefit to the schools. Before then, profits from numerous products hatched at the University of Minnesota — ultrasound devices, taconite, vulcanized rubber, retractable seat belts — eluded the school.
To change that situation, the university established a technology transfer office, where for years there had been a single patent administrator. Today, 20 staffers work there. Nationally, the Association of University Technology Managers, whose members once fit comfortably into a modest living room, has grown to the point where its annual meetings draw 1,500 attendees.
Finally, significant results are showing up. Royalties and fees surged to $23.1 million for the fiscal year that ended June 30, from $6.4 million in fiscal 1999. The increase came from two sources: the sale of stock in Net Perceptions, a company founded on university-developed technology that went public in 1999, and royalties from a new AIDS drug.
The drug, Ziagen, promises to be a blockbuster for the University of Minnesota. Ziagen came about as a result of research by Robert Vince, a pharmacy professor at the university. Revenue generated by Glaxo Wellcome, the pharmaceutical company marketing the drug, is expected to shower up to $300 million in royalty payments onto the university during the next decade or so.
Nothing like that has happened in the school's other principal tech-transfer niche startups based on the work of university faculty members. In the last five years, 34 companies have been launched using Minnesota-licensed technology,
"A lot of people are afraid it's going to be worse, partly because of failure to invest in both faculty and technical support." Roberta Humphreys Minnesota astronomy professor
with the school taking equity stakes in most of them. But so far, only one of the 34, Net Perceptions, has gone public.
Making tech transfer work has proven immensely complicated, tough, controversial, constantly misunderstood by the general public and, in the view of university and business leaders, absolutely necessary.
It's necessary, they argue, because the university has a mandate as a land grant institution to help the state's economy. The University of Minnesota did that in ways never dreamed in the 1950s. Then, C. Walton Lillehei, a pioneer in open-heart surgery in the University of Minnesota Medical School, teamed up with Medtronic founder Earl Bakken to initiate the work that led to the successful implant of the world's first heart pacemaker.
Since then, Medtronic products have prolonged the lives of thousands of people. The company has become Minnesota's most prized corporation and the world's leading maker of medical devices. If just one of today's University of Minnesota-backed companies manages to vault onto a similar trajectory, the school could gain more of a windfall than it stands to receive from the work of Vince.
It's also necessary, many believe, because rugged competition from other big-time research universities leaves Minnesota little choice but to give its faculty members the opportunity to pursue potentially lucrative research. If they can't do it here, they'll go elsewhere, with some of the nation's best and brightest professors and students following in their wake.
Yet Minnesota's research capability has come under serious stress. Major universities across the country have poured resources into attracting top-flight faculty, students and programs, sometimes in fields where their work seems most likely
to lead to successful companies. Overall, Minnesota remains one of the nation's heaviest-hitting schools for research grants. However, under pressure to keep a bewildering array of services and courses going, it has found a growing struggle for resources needed to meet stepped-up competition from other universities.
The National Research Council's rankings reflect this. Once a decade, on average, the council ranks major research universities. In 1959, and again in 1966, the University of Minnesota ranked 12th. In 1970, and again in 1982, it was 16th. In 1995, it ranked 23rd, according to calculations by Change magazine.
Opinions differ, but some who know the university well fear more slippage is in the works.
Roberta Humphreys, an astronomy professor at Minnesota, noted that many departments had lost key faculty members since 1995.
"A lot of people are afraid it's going to be worse, partly because of failure to invest in both faculty and technical support," Humphrews said.
The University of Minnesota Medical School has fallen from 14th in 1982 to 27th today in the National Institutes of Health ranking. Some of this decline may have been self-inflicted by a scandal at the school, which has only now worked free of penalties imposed by the NIH for making the anti-rejection organ transplant drug ALG for years without adequate approval.
But a greater source of strain appears to be the financial squeeze that's forced the school to leave more tenured faculty positions open — 80 out of 430 — than ever before.
Others say a populist streak in Minnesota's culture chills research efforts.
minnesota's culture chills research efforts. Tony Potamil, now chief executive officer at the William C. Norris Institute in Bloomington, Minn., headed Minnesota's tech transfer program for years. He spent long hours working with Vince, starting 20 years ago, to license the AIDS drug.
Potami said too many Minnesotans thought professors shouldn't be involved in money-making endeavors.
"Why is there a worry that someone could become a millionaire and do good?" he asked. "We've got recognize that if they're going to have a technology that's going to turn into a company, by default they're going to make money in equity or royalties, and that's a good thing."
South Carolina students create tech company
By KRT News Service
Last year, Matt Parker was trying to sort out plans for graduate school.
But just a few weeks into his final year at the University of South Carolina, the 21-year-old Charleston native has put the plans for graduate school aside.
Parker, along with Russian native and USC graduate student Yuri Khelbnikov, instead will be launching a high-tech company called Bandgap Technologies Inc.
The company has been admitted as the most recent tenant-client of the USC Columbia Technology Incubator and has received almost $300,000 in federal research grants.
"It itakes me up in the morning in a cold sweat," Parker said about starting the company instead of going to graduate school. "It's a lot of responsibility."
What the federal research grants and USC's incubator are supporting is a company that could affect electronics ranging from color displays to mobile phones.
Parker and Khelbnikov met while working together in USC's engineering laboratories on the technology of crystal growth.
The USC students are building Bandgap around a process for growing silicon carbide crystals.
The company hopes to use this process to create silicon carbide wafers that can improve the efficiency of certain electronic devices. That technology could lead to new forms of full-color displays, high-capacity compact discs and mobile phones that could send and receive more information while using less power, he said.
Bandgap will initially produce the wafers on a small scale in the downtown offices of the USC incubator.
Joel Stevenson, director of the USC Columbia Technology Incubator, said the facility has secured 1,000 square feet of additional space to make room for Bandgap.
The company, which has special utilities requirements for its crystal-making process, will occupy a building across the street from the incubator's downtown offices.
Bandgap gives the USC incubator five companies. A sixth company, NetGen Learning Systems, graduated from the program in July. Stevenson said Bandgap fit well with the mission of the incubator.
The company, which still is conducting research out of USC's labs, plans to work closely with the university and draw on university talent.

1. School of Engineering
1. School of Engineering
The School of Engineering offers degrees in aerospace, architectural, chemical/petroleum, civil, environmental, computer, electrical, mechanical, and engineering physics.
Engineering is a five-year program that students enter as freshmen. Students must have an ACT score of 22 and be in the top 50 percent of their high school classes to enter the school.
Ann Bakerink, director of academic services in engineering, said computer science and computer engineering were popular majors.
With the Internet and the World Wide Web, there is a strong demand for graduates in these fields, Bakerink said. Enrollment in the School of Engineering is higher than it has been for 10 years.
There was an enrollment of 1288 in 1993. Bakerink says that since
computer science came in the fall of 1994. enrollment has increased about 1.5 to 2 percent every year.

Requirements: Vary by program.
The School of Fine Arts includes the departments of art and design, music and dance. Of all the students in School of Fine Arts, 72 percent are in art/design. The music department has 24 percent and four percent are in the dance program.
"Engineers, in general, I don't think will have a problem getting a job," she said. "The demand for engineers is pretty high."
Marina Burton, Topeka sophmore in computer engineering, said the engineering school was very competitive.
"Your GPA has to be there before you come to KU," she said. The competitiveness of engineering pays off in the end when the job market beckons.

and art education. In addition to music performance in an instrument and voice, the music department includes music education and music therapy.
The design department includes industrial design, interior design, graphic design, metals, ceramics, textiles, theater design, illustration.
Theater and film is in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, but theater design is in fine arts.
In the art/design program, first-year students have to complete basic studies course like design and drawing. After that, about three fourths of them go into the design school, and the remaining one-fourth go into art.
Rita Riley, director of undergraduate studies, said that space at times was an issue in allowing people into the school. Music professors who teach an instrument can only teach a limited number of students.

Fuchs said the school had become increasingly competitive during the last three years. She attributes this to the expansion of the Internet and Web-based services.
Epstein said he was confident of his job prospects once he was ready for the job market.
Jason Epstein knows why a business degree is so popular.
"With a business background, there are so many options," he said.
Epstein, an Omaha, Neb., graduate student, got his undergraduate degree in accounting in May and now is in the business graduate school at the University.
"The economy is doing so well that there are tons of opportunities for business students," he said.
He said that the business school career service center was very helpful, and he planned to use their help.
"They do a really good job bringing the companies in to interview," he said.
In 1999, the School of Business had 788 students, or 4.2 percent of all undergraduates. For the 1999- 2000 school year, 390 degrees were granted.
Last school year, there were 750 applications, with 461 students admitted to the program.

Students must pass the PreProfessional Skills Test. Kansas requires this to ensure the public that teachers have basic skills in reading, writing and math. Students enter the School of Education after they complete 45 hours in the college.
Continued from page 12B
The school also looks at students' character, their extracurricular activities with children, volunteering, and paid or unpaid jobs with children, such as the Special Olympics.
Pay for teachers starts at $27,000 and can go to $50,000. Occasionally, districts offer signing bonuses to new teachers, such as the Johnson County Blue Valley school district. Ann Hartley, associate director of University Career and Employment Services, said school districts couldn't offer competitive salaries because they couldn't set teacher salaries.
Students in the School of Education for elementary, middle and K-12 have an average 3.40 GPA.
Hartley said that Kansas was experiencing it's worst teacher shortage ever.
"It ited to be that a teacher had a hard time finding a job, but not anymore," she said. Hartley said the pool of teachers was shrinking, making it hard for school districts to find all the teachers they need.

Mr.Wong cartoon flier incites furor
Bv Travis Reed
Special to the Kansan
Senior exchange student Carol Chung thought nothing was out of the ordinary yesterday afternoon as she grabbed a flier, sticker and fortune cookie from an individual on Wescoe Beach.
But when she opened the pamphlet and fortune cookie, Chung became an unwitting viewer of what she said was racist material.
Instead of a restaurant menu, Chung found an advertisement for "Mr. Wong's Kitchen," a Web-based cartoon strip that some say exploits stereotypes of Asian Americans. The "menu" offers an entire section of cat entrees and panda selections and a beverage menu composed entirely of alcoholic drinks.
At the beginning I thought it was a restaurant," Chung said. "I was shocked and angry because it was so racist. My second thought was, 'How could people spend money on something that is so racist?'
The flier was an advertisement for Icebox.com, a site that includes several animated shorts of Mr. Wong, an elderly servant who is consistently mistreated by Miss Pam, a sultry, scapely Caucasian employer. Mr. Wong is drawn with unnaturally yellowed skin, and his hunched countenance provides a stark contrast to that of his employer.
Icebox.com creates and presents a handful of other original animation shorts, including series featuring "Hard Drinkin' Lincoln," "Garbage Island," and "Rock and Roll Dad," but "Mr. Wong's Kitchen" has generated more rancor and backlash than any other, said Lisa Spirita, a representative for the company.
"Some people are offended because of their background; some people think it is hilarious. It's purely entertainment," Spiritus said. "Our mission is to create entertainment you can't find on networks or in theaters."
The company has received several complaints from consumers, including reproach from the Organization of Chinese Americans, but icebox.com representatives said they had no intention of diluting the material.
"While some content is controversial, it is well within the bounds of current satire-based, comedic programming." Spiritus said in an e-mail. "But it's up to the viewers to decide whether this is the type of content they want to watch on a week-by-week basis."
Although the menu's content has been offensive to some, one student who tossed the fiery away and ate the complimentary fortune cookie thought it was a pleasant surprise.
Tiffany Bode, Newton freshman, received a fortune that read, "You smell like this man's ass," but never read the accompanying "menu" information.
"I thought it was hilarious," Bode said. "I'd just gotten done taking a test, so I'm looking at it, and usually you expect to see a tute, general piece-of-crap fortune that could apply to anyone. But I know I don't smell like his ass, so I don't see any reason to be offended."

The freshman experience
Five students share thoughts on life at KU
Editor's note: During Hawk Week, the Kansan asked a group of new students who were just moving in to start recording their experiences and thoughts about their new lives at the University of Kansas.
The Kansan was looking to see the University through the eyes of students from different backgrounds to gauge initial reactions to the University and the people here and to experience the transition that comes with life at a university.
What follows are excerpts from the journal entries of five freshmen during their first month here.

Deciding how I feel is something I never used to have problems with. Each day now, I have to get dressed in a non-Catholic school ensemble, knowing that people judge what they see. I'm in a sorority. That was a decision I made for me. I get mad when I realize how different I am from most people.

Second entry
I met a Filipino-Caucasian girl the other day who I felt I really connected with [Editor's note: Rea also has a Filipino-Caucasian heritage]. She urged me to do more "self-discovering" in a cultural group, and I was really excited to hear the invitation. It's hard sometimes to make that effort,
Today at lunch, I decided that my roommates and I should sit at the nearest and largest table. After a little while, someone made the comment of how many segregations there were around us. Nearly every table in our section was populated by African-American people.
How do I react to that? I feel like part of that comment is directed at me. I grew up surrounded by mostly "white" people, and yet I still take comfort in those type of people now.
"They separate themselves and call other people racist," someone said. "Why don't they try to expand from what they know?"
Why don't I step out of my comfort zone and try to meet some culturally different people? No matter my effort or thought on the matter, I'll end up being a hypocrite. You can't try to make friends with people simply based on the fact that they look different.

Women who live together often menstruate together
By Meghan Bainum
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Women who live together may not only eat, exercise and study at the same time, but they may also have their periods at the same time.
Many women who live together find that their bodies adjust, and they begin to menstruate at the same times of the month.
Tara Tonsor, St. Louis junior, lives in a house with three other women. She and another roommate who are not on birth control quickly adjusted to the more regular cycles of their roommates who were on the pill. And all this happened within about a month of moving in together.
"it's kind of weird, but it's true," Tonsor said. "I think it's kind of funny, and we just laugh about it."
This occurrence is not limited to small groups of women. It also happens in living arrangements such as
scholarship halls and sorority houses. Eliza Bennett, Marion senior, said that while not all of her hallmates in Miller Scholarship Hall have their periods together, she had definitely noticed a trend. She said she thought the close living arrangement was to blame.
Although group periods seem real among many women who live together, the reason for community periods is sometimes not that easy to figure out, said Kathy Guth, gynecology nurse practitioner at Watkins Memorial Health Center. She said she had read about the occurrence of insync periods, but didn't know the exact cause.
"We know that it has to do with the circadian cycle — kind of like your biorhydhms." she said.
The circadian cycle is defined as a cycle dealing with biological activity or function.
Guth said conforming to roommates' cycles was inevitable, unless
the women were taking birth control bills.
"If they're on pills, it's not going to happen," she said. "But if it's just their natural cycle it's going to happen."
Tonsor said she and her roommates decided they would live with the pains of having four girls on their period at the same time.
"One thing that drives me up the wall is the trash can in the bathroom," Tonsor said.
Bathroom aside. Tonsor said that it was sometimes nice to live with a group of women, especially when it came to having somebody who was sympathetic to the problems periods could sometimes bring.
"Sometimes we all have the same craving and somebody will make cookies," Tonsor said.
But, Tonsor said, the best thing about sharing cycles was simple.
"It's all over with all at once," she said.
Student retention rate increases at University
Enrollment, ACT scores increase from last semester

Enrollment at the University of Kansas increased 2 percent this fall - a jump of 514 students - and American College Test scores and freshmen retention rates rose with them.
According to the official enrollment count administered on the 20th day of classes, the University had the highest enrollment among Kansas Regents schools with 25,920 students. The University of Kansas Medical Center enrolled 400 students, down four from last fall.
"I think it shows the academic quality of the students that we bring in every year," said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost.
The average ACT composite test score for new freshmen was 24.42, up from last year's average of 24.04. The national average is 21.7.
She said the increase showed the University's progress toward reaching its goal of a freshman class average ACT score of 25.
20th day NUMBERS
The University hopes to reach that goal in the next few years, McCluskey-Fawcett said.
A new admissions policy.
affecting next year's incoming freshmen, could help increase the average score even more, she said.
"One of the qualified admissions requirements is an ACT score of 21," McCluskey-Fawcett said. "A lot of the reason for our mean score is because, although we have a lot of students with high ACT scores, there's also students below 21. And qualified admissions should raise that
mean a little."
The University also improved in student retention, with 80.3 percent of last year's freshmen returning to KU — up 2.4 percent from last fall.
"I think that signals that we're getting a lot of good students interested in KU and getting them here, but we're also keeping the ones we get," McCluskey-Fawcett said.
Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said that the retention rate was good for an open-admissions university, but that there was room for improvement.
"We want to get KU back to the retention rates for freshmen and sophomores that we have
"We've made a commitment to connect each student with an individual adviser to help them with classes — things like add/drop and career advice," she said. "I think that one-one connection and also us referring students to other important resources on campus has been real instrumental."
had in the past," she said.
"Anytime you retain a student and that student succeeds, it's a positive thing."
Tuttle said part of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center's role in improving student retention was helping freshmen and sophomores establish a relationship with KU faculty and staff.

University remains high in Fiske Guide's ranking
The University of Kansas is one of three Big 12 Conference schools to receive a ranking of four stars out of five in the new Fiske Guide to Colleges.
KU was also named one of the guide's 19 "best buy" public universities for overall value.
The University's ranking has remained stable at four stars in recent years, said Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations.
"We've been consistently on the best buys list and consistently on the top three in the Big 12," Cohen said.
KU also received four out of five stars for quality of life and social life. The Fiske Guide did not designate the University one of its "party schools," a distinction reserved for schools that receive five stars in the social life category.
KU students gave the best reviews for the University's programs in architecture, business and journalism, according to the survey.
The University of Texas and the University of Colorado were the only other Big 12 Conference universities to receive overall four-star rankings. Six others earned three stars. None received five stars.
The guide profiles more than 300 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.

Volunteer Fair to offer several service options
More than a dozen national and local volunteer organizations will be represented at the fair, including the KU Center for Community Outreach.
The University Career and Employment Services will sponsor a Volunteer Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6, in the fourth floor lobby of the Kansas Union.
Ann Hartley, UCES associate director, said that this was the second year the UCES had co-sponsored the Volunteer Fair and that she hoped the event would provide numerous service opportunities to KU students.
"We're hoping to get greater visibility on campus for these kind of opportunities and that students find that these are good opportunities in terms of building service skills and resumes," she said.
Hartley said that the service organizations were seeking both undergrad
uate and graduate students to participate in their programs.
"There should be something there for everybody," she said.

Flu vaccine shortage to delay distribution
A nationwide flu vaccine shortage will delay Watkins Memorial Health Center's distribution of the vaccine.
The shots, which are usually available in September, will be delayed at least a month because of the shortage.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins, said he did not know when the shots would be available or whether Watkins would get as many shots as it requested. Watkins physicians increased the number of vaccines they ordered from 2,500 vaccinations last year to 3,000 this year in hones of supplying students.
The shortage came from manufacturing setbacks and unexpectedly slow growth of the vaccine in laboratories.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and manufacturers of the vaccine are sure that vaccines will be available for people who are at higher risk, including those older than 60 and those who have weaker immune systems.
The shots will be available not only at Watkins but also eight off-site locations when the shots become available.

Teen-agers shoot each other with same gun
NEW ORLEANS — Two teen-age boys shot each other with the same gun during a fight at their middle school Tuesday after a 13-year-old expelled student slipped the weapon to one of them through a fence, authorities said.
The wounded boys, ages 13 and 15, were in critical condition.
Witnesses said the eighth-graders had argued before the shootings at the school where students must pass through a metal detector to enter. The younger boy got the gun from outside the chain-link fence and shot the 15-year-old, only to have the older boy grab the gun and shoot him; police Lt. Marlon Defilo said.
The boy accused of providing the handgun, Alfred Anderson, was arrested about five hours after the shooting at his home in a nearby housing project, part of an economically mixed neighborhood.
The younger boy will be charged with attempted murder. Defilio said,
Anderson, who was recently expelled for fighting, was booked on charges of illegally carrying a weapon and being a principal to attempted first-degree murder, Defino said. He faces a detention hearing Wednesday.
The shooting happened just before noon in a breezeway between the main building at Carter G. Woodson Middle School and the cafeteria, where hundreds of students were eating lunch. Police recovered the .38-caliber revolver.
Milosevic's opponents claim presidential victory
WORLD
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Slobodan Milosevic's opponents claimed victory in an election marked by fraud allegations and warned that the Yugoslav president may try to rig the vote in his favor.
No official results had been released from Sunday's election
However, the Democratic Opposition of Serbia party claimed its candidate, 56-year-old Vojislav Kostunica, had won the presidency. The party said its poll watchers reported that Kostunica had an absolute majority and defeated Milosevic and three other contenders.
Peru's spy chief flees causes mixed reactions
LIMA, Peru — Peru's opposition blasted President Alberto Fujimori for allowing his deposed spy chief to flee the country and dodge a bribery scandal, but analysts said the removal of the secretive power broker would help repair the country's tattered democracy.
The flight of Vladimiro Montesinos raised new tensions to Fujimiand his foes seek an amicable end to his 10-year hold on power. Montesinos arrived in Panama on Sunday, where the government appeared almost certain to grant him political asylum.
Villagers leave homes to escape fighting
JOLO, Philippines — More than 36,000 villagers have fled their homes to escape a heavy military assault on the Muslim rebels holding 17 hostages on a small southern Philippine island, officials said yesterday.
Unconfirmed reports continued to grow of civilian casualties and heavy damage to villages from the attack, which involved about 4,000 troops. But the military continued to insist that only one civilian has been killed and four injured in the fighting.

Chancellor extends time for credit/no-credit option
By Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Morrell, university registrar.
Students looking to protect their GPAs from a difficult course now have another week to choose a credit/no-credit option.
Commonly known as the pass/fall option, students may take one course per semester for a credit/no-credit distinction, instead of a letter grade. The deadline for choosing the option recently has been extended to Friday, Oct. 6.
The Timetable of Classes lists the deadline as Friday, Sept. 22., but Chancellor Robert Hemenway approved the new deadline to allow students to choose the option during the fifth and sixth weeks of class. In previous years the choice was available during the third and fourth weeks, said Richard C.
"Clearly, by the fifth and sixth weeks, a student can make a better-informed decision about how they'll perform in the class," he said.
The option actually offers more protection against a damaging grade than the pass/fail options offered at other universities, Morrell said. Students who do not pass a course they take with the option don't receive a failing grade, but instead simply receive no credit.
"It's all about managing your GPA," he said. "If there's a class where you're not going to do well and it may hurt your GPA, you may want that option."
In order to receive credit, a student must earn at least a C grade. Students should go to their individual schools to declare the option.
Students cannot use the
credit/no-credit option for courses in their major.
Gloria Flores, associate director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said the deadline listed in the timetable and other publications was inaccurate because the later deadline was recently approved.
"Student Senate petitioned to have it changed to the fifth and sixth week and got it approved after publication." she said.
Anne Carty, Lansing junior, said she thought the deadline extension was helpful for students who weren't sure at first if they wanted the option. Carty used the option for an astronomy class last semester.
"I think that's important because you've got to see how that first test goes before you know if you want to do it," she said.
City joins power-rate battle
Bv Matt Merkel-Hess

Kansan staff writer
The Lawrence City Commission pledged its resources last night in the fight to keep power rates from rising.
Lawrence gave its support to Topeka's battle against Wichita about whether customers in the two districts of Western Resources — Kansas Power and Light and Kansas Gas and Electric — should pay the same rates.
Lawrence commissioners moved to provide up to $10,000 out of the estimated $80,000 Topeka would need for the legal funds.
Lawrence, who are served by KPL, would pay higher rates.
Western Resources has two divisions, KPL and KGE. Customers in the KGE division pay about one-fourth more for their power because of the construction of the Wolf Creek nuclear facility in Burlington.
A full rate case with the Kansas Corporation Commission is scheduled to run from November until July, and the KCC has indicated it will consider whether KPL and KGE should be one utility or two.
Although Western Resources has traditionally treated KPL and KGE as different utilities, KGE customers, including the city of Wichita, claim both districts should have the same rates and be one utility. Customers in
Topeka and Lawrence oppose the rate increases and consolidation. Topeka officials said that in the KPL area, industrial users could see a power rate increase of 16 percent, and the residential increase could be as much as 20 percent.
Commissioner Erv Hodges said a coalition of affected cities and large users in the KPL region should be created to share legal bills and represent the customers in this area.
"It's time we showed a united front." Hodges said. "I think we have a responsibility to our citizens and industrial users that they don't get an unneeded rate increase." Bill Sepic, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, gave his support at the meeting to helping with the legal defense.
"Nobody wants to see a 16 percent rate increase," he said. "We're going to have to pay for someone else's facilities."
Sepic said that low energy costs were a selling point for recruiting new businesses and that increases would hurt the area's advantage, especially with the tight labor pool and low unemployment.
In other action:
The commission approved a lease of 12,16-passenger buses from MV Transportation, Inc. so that public transportation routes could begin in early 2001. The buses are being leased in lieu of permanent buses, which will not begin to be delivered until July. Two permanent buses will be delivered in July, five in October and the final five in November.
- The commission approved the rezoning of a plot of land on 31st Street for a Sonic Drive-In. The plot is located in the SuperTarget planned commercial district, west of Iowa Street between 31st and 33rd streets.

Editorial board: Government should refrain from censorship
Regulation not sound solution
W we don't need to be saved from Hollywood violence as much as Washington politics. The debate about Hollywood violence is cliché politics, typified by the infamous cry of "won't somebody please think of the children?" We don't need goverment regulations to fix this problem.
A recent Federal Trade Commission

report alleges that the entertainment industry "routinely targets children under 17 in their marketing of products their own ratings systems deem inappropriate or warrant parental caution due to violent content." Whenever children are involved, you can expect condemnation from strange political bedfellows, such as Lynn Cheney, the wife of Republican vice-presidential candidate Dick Cheney, and Democratic vicepresidential candidate Joe Lieberman.
Even Al Gore, whose political career has been financed by the movie industry, jumped on the bandwagon, claiming that he would impose punitive legislation against the entertainment industry if it did not clean up its act within six months.
However, there are superior solutions to government intervention.
The movie industry goes where the money is, and children are a large group of movie consumers. But children aren't like other consumers. They don't work hard for the cash to go to the movies. They are dependent on their parents for movie money.
Politicians can placate parents with the dangers of violent movies. They also can make parents feel powerless against a huge industry, but the truth is parents are more empowered against Hollywood than they think.
If half the parents who send their kids to violent movies said 'no' one summer, and drove down the profit margins, the movie industry would think twice before investing in those kinds of pictures. They certainly wouldn't market their product to consumers whose parents won't give them any spending money.
There are different responsibilities for government and individuals. If we rely on federal regulation every time a threat to children crops up, we will secede more parental authority to the government. We will we be inundated with cries of "save the children" every election year. And politicians will shave off more and more of our rights for their own careers.
In the long run, it is better for us to take the responsibility of regulating the movies. We can choose what we send our children to see.
Brett Watson for the editorial board
Brownback: Music, video games should entertain without selling violence to children
Violent media need some form of self-regulation
Last year, I introduced legislation authorizing a Federal Trade Commission study on whether the entertainment industry markets violence to children. The study, released Sept. 11, confirms what many of us have long suspected: That the marketing of violent, adult-rated entertainment to kids is, in the words of FTC Chairman Robert Pitofsky, "pervasive and aggressive." It shows that Hollywood is making a killing off of marketing violence to kids.
The problem is not limited to one industry but can be found in virtually every form of entertainment: movies, music and video games. In studying popular music, the FTC report found that every album with a parental advisor sticker they surveyed had been target-marketed to kids. Hyper-violent, misogynistic and racist lyrics are marketed to our children, whose character, attitudes, and values are still being formed. But this comes as no surprise. There are few fans of such music older than 20.
Movies are equally blatant in their efforts to market violence to children. Indeed, the report notes that some moviemakers used kids as young as 10 in focus groups for R-rated movies. Movie makers claim that parents bear total responsibility, while deliberately making it harder for them to make decisions. Of course parents are responsible for policing what their children watch — but the entertainment companies should not make it difficult for them to do so.
The video-game industry also is a major culprit. When kids play violent video games, they do not merely witness slaughter; they engage in virtual murder. Indeed, the point of so-called "first-person shooter" games (virtually all M-rated) is to kill as many characters as possible. The higher the body count, the higher your score.
Common sense should tell us that positively reinforcing sadistic behavior cannot be good for our children. We cannot expect that hours spent in school will mold and instruct a child's mind, while hours spent immersed in violent entertainment will not. We cannot hope that children who are entertained by violence will love peace.
In fact, it is a medical consensus. At a summit I played host in late July, the major public health organizations released a joint statement concluding: "Well over 1000 studies point overwhelming to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive behavior in some children." There is no longer a question as to whether exposing children to violent entertainment is a public health risk. It is. The question is: What are we going to do about it?
As a strong supporter of the First Amendment, I am opposed to censorship, but I believe the industry should enter into a voluntary code of conduct that defines for consumers and parents how high they aim and how low they will go.
We do need to take steps to encourage greater self-regulation and self-restraint on the part of the entertainment industry. But we need to change minds even more than laws. I call on the entertainment industry to use their power and influence to edify, rather than degrade. They can entertain in ways that do not glamorize slaughter or debase women. They can make money by producing top-quality films that appeal to the better angels of our nature, rather than racing to the bottom. And for the sake of our children, they should.
Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan.
Interdependence of ads, news part of the game
The Kansan news staff loves maintaining a friendly rivalry with the advertising staff especially when it comes to softball. However, the news and advertising staff are separate for a reason. How much could you trust a newspaper where food critics sold ads to local restaurants and political reporters designed print ads for city commission candidates?
Yet we couldn't do much of anything without each other.
Take the news out of the Kansan and you'd have the Hawk Sheet minus that fun yellow color. Without ads, we'd have to print the Kansan on the back of paper from the computer center's recycle box and stick them on the windshields of students' cars.
As much as society collectively complains about advertising, it does allow us to maintain a free press. Imagine how different newspapers and magazines would be if they were subsidized by the government. If they weren't subsidized at all, the

subscriptions would unbelievably expensive. Relying on businesses for support has its drawbacks as well. Certain stories present conflicts of interest, both real and perceived. One reader commented that Monday's story about the Athletics Department's problem with the name of the bookstore's Web site didn't address the fact that kansan.com houses the bookstore's site, jayhawks.com.
The reader thought we couldn't fairly report on a story involving the bookstore site because
of our online and print advertising partnership.
However, we didn't hesitate to take on the controversial dress code at Jack Flanigans, even though the owner was dropping off advertising information when he came to talk to us about the story. And look at the story we did on Jefferson Commons' residents who felt they were getting cheated out of their deposits. The apartment complex has been a regular advertiser in the Kansan, but we took a critical look at their policies because students were affected, and that's who we write for, not our advertisers.
Unfortunately, it's not that way at all publications. In an article by Russ Baker in The Columbia Journalism Review, magazines have felt the crunch of big advertisers, such as Chrysler, which are "demanding summaries of upcoming articles while implicitly asking editors to think twice about running 'sexual, political, social issues.'"
Under these circumstances, imagine how hard it would be for a magazine to run a story about safety standards on Chrysler cars that could save drivers' lives.
Common sense would have us catering to those paying our bills, the businesses that advertise with us. But I think newspapers are a different kind of business. Most of our customers pick up a free copy of the paper on their way to class. As far as I'm concerned, in this business, delivering news important to students is our bottom line.
newspaper take a look at it on the cover.
Sure, it takes some of the romance out of it, but without a well-run business and a means of production and distribution, we can't reach our audience — the students — who are the reason we're in the business in the first place.
As journalists, sometimes we forget that newspapers are a business with a bottom lift.

Lack of attention, speeding to spaces causes accidents in campus parking lots
By Rob Pazell
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
KU students should watch their speeds as well as other drivers when looking for a parking spot in campus lots, said the KU Public Safety Office.
Sgt. Troy Maileen attributed a recent surge in fender benders in the southeast Memorial Stadium and south Robinson Center parking lots to drivers not watching out for other cars.
The majority of these accidents involve a lack of attention when someone is either parking or backing out of the stall," Mailen said. "It's inherent at the beginning of the school year."
Students tend to drive fast in these lots as well, said Danielle Magee, Overland Park junior. She said she frequently parked in the southeast Memorial Stadium parking lot and that cars tended to drive fast at certain times of day.
"If there's parking spaces in the first rows of this lot, people will speed through
"People don't pay attention coming in and out of rows. People that are leaving don't tend to look."

to get these spaces," she said. "Then people speed out in the afternoon when they leave."
Magee said certain corners in the Memorial Stadium lot could be dangerous, especially in the afternoon, when people don't take the time to look.
"People don't pay attention coming in and out of the rows," she said. "People that are leaving don't tend to look. Nobody looks, actually."
Leah Kolchinsky, Lenexa senior, said that she parked in the south Robinson Center lot and that around noon parking spots were difficult to find and caused students to speed around the lots in search of
"It's like a vulture scene." she said.
Kolchinsky said her main concern wasn't with the speed but with the lack of space in the rows for people to go around those waiting for a spot.
a spot.
"When somebody does find a spot, they wait for it in the middle of the lane, and it's not wide enough to go around," Kolchinsky said.
Mailen said a big problem with many of these accidents was that people often left the scene. He urged people to leave insurance information and notify an officer when an accident occurs.
"No matter how trivial the damage is, give the other owner an opportunity to assess damages." Mailen said.
He also asked that witnesses take the time to help out and report what they see so that officers can have something to work with if the striking driver leaves the scene.
"It kind of goes back to the strength in numbers idea," Mailen said. "It's just helping your neighbor out in that end."

Grant pays for tutors at area colleges
A federal grant will allow the University of Kansas to help three area institutions set up tutoring and mentoring services like those available at KU.
KU will help start mentoring program
By Jennifer Valodez
writer at kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Blueprint Project is being led by KU Supportive Educational Services, which provides tutoring and professional mentoring to students. The $656,728 partnership grant will help SES staff implement similar programs at Ottawa University, Washburn University and Kansas City Kansas Community College.
Maritza Machado-Williams, SES director, said it was important to replicate this program at institutions that don't have it.
"It is a main focus to retain students, improve their GPAs and help them graduate." she said.
Machado-Williams said work on the project would begin Sunday and that funds from the grant would go to the training of personnel from the partner institutions.
"We will train each site leader to create a working team and to train tutors," she said. "We hope to develop a good work relationship with the partner institutions; they are eager to start the project."
To be eligible for the program, students must qualify for financial aid, have a disability or be first-generation college students.
Both the staff and the clients say the program emphasizes personal
"Other than focus on the work, they also focus on the
person. You're not a number. It's personal, and that's what's important."

connections between mentors, tutors and participants.
"Other than focus on the work, they also focus on the person," she said. "You're not just a number. It's personal, and that's what's important."
Amanda Johnson, Little River
junior and SES tutor, said that the program provided a worthwhile opportunity for all who were involved.
"With the training we get, we understand things better from the student's perspective," she said. "Overall, it's a good program to have for people wanting to learn and the people willing to help them."
Karen Ohnesorge, coordinator of supportive services and of the Blueprint Project, was one of the authors of the grant. She said the success of SES at the University was a factor in attracting the interest of the partner institutions.
"We're having enough of a positive impact with the program," she said. "I hope each institution will gain that under-represented students need to be served."

The Associated Press
BOSTON — The federal government sued Harvard University and four associates for $120 million yesterday, claiming that Harvard employees benefited personally from a U.S.-backed program to help post-Cold War Russia make the transition to capitalism.
Harvard economics professor Andrei Shleifer and former Harvard legal expert Jonathan Hay "abused their positions as high-level and trusted advisers to and on behalf of the United States in Russia," according to the lawsuit filed.
The government said the two men played major roles in the Harvard Institute for International Development in Russia, which received $40 million in federal funding to advise Russia on privatization, capital markets and legal reform after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Harvard closed the institute in Januarv.
The Justice Department said Shleifer, Hay, Shleifer's wife, and a woman now married to Hay, made investments and business deals in Russia that were in conflict with their duties.
Through their lawyers, the four denied any improprieties.
Anne Taylor, Harvard vice president and general counsel, said the university upheld its end of the deal.
"We are confident that, as the civil case unfolds, the court will confirm that the Harvard program significantly fostered Russian reform and that the government received its money's worth," said David Zornow. Hav's lawyer.
Among other things, the lawsuit charges that Shleifer and his wife invested $200,000 in Russian companies and $60,000 in Russian government bonds.
Hospitals boom with Y2K babies
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The Y2K bug may have been a bust. But apparently, many couples were bitten by something else last New Year's Eve.
From Los Angeles to Milwaukee, Mississippi and New York, hospitals are booming with babies nine months later.
"It's the babies 2000 month," said Sara Howley, a representative at one busy hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
National figures have yet to be tallied. But several hospitals-and
obstetricians across the country say their numbers have been up all year. And September — traditionally a big month for babies — has been particularly busy.
"It seems like everyone we run into is pregnant," said Trish Reynolds, an architect from Coventry, R.I., whose daughter Abigale was born last Wednesday and spent her first hours of life in a packed hospital nursery.
Reynolds says it is very possible that Abigale was conceived on New Year's Eve — a night she and
husband Kevin Prest decided to cozy up at home to avoid any Y2K madness. And it looks like they weren't the only ones.
The University of Mississippi Medical Center, for example, has seen an 18 percent increase in nursery admissions in September compared with the same month last year.
At WakeMed, the largest hospital in Raleigh, N.C., the staff expects to deliver about 500 babies in September — a 13.5 percent increase from September 1999.

giving state employees the power of choice
People are different, always have been. But these days it seems like our lifestyles are more diverse than ever before. Which means we all have different needs, especially in health care. So instead of a one-size-fits-all health insurance plan that limits your options, why not select a plan that leaves choices up to you? The Preferred Health Systems Insurance Company PPO lets you choose when and where you want to get your health care, who you want to get it from, and you rarely need a referral.
A product of Preferred Health Systems, the same company that offers the popular Preferred Plus of Kansas HMO, our PPO plan gives you open access to the largest provider network in the state with nearly 4,000 providers across Kansas. You even have the option of using non-network providers if you wish. So how you manage your health care is up to you.
If you want more choice in health plans, make the Preferred choice.

First entry
... The people are friendly, but it's still quite a culture shock. I'm not used to seeing so many "minorities" — North Dakota (or at least the corner I come from) is about 99 percent white. ...
Second entry
... By now, classes have started, and I realize that this is not high school, and no one was joking when they said college would be a lot harder. I really miss some people back home, but some who I thought I would miss are very far from my mind. Right now, I'm full of nervous apprehension about a lot of things because my life isn't concrete yet. I hope that this period of transition ends soon. Emotionally, I'm half dead. Physically, the terrain around here is trying ...
Third entry
Since my last entry, I've had a sort of rebirth. God's been working on my heart through the tests of college, the making of new friends and the quiet voice He speaks in. Finding cool Christian people to hang out with looks as though it could be pretty easy. A huge
community offers up huge opportunities...
Fourth entry
... I've started thinking less and less about my friends at home, even to the extent of finally letting go of a a girl I had said goodbye to a week before moving here. Learning to live with three totally different guys is interesting but fun. I've started to loosen up, as I'm not overly concerned about making friends anymore. I just started being myself, getting out and having fun. And it's opening a whole new world ...

Sixth entry
[KU National Society of Black Engineers] is just different from ASU-NSBE, but that's expected. KU is like a small band. Sometimes I feel as though I'm on the outside looking in. It was like that at ASU, but I became part of the group. I don't know if I have energy to do it again...

Fortunately, though, the scholarship halls have helped that a lot. ... In a situation where it seems you never have any
In high school, my priorities always seemed pretty set. I had school, work, sports, family and friends. Everything existed in harmony, rarely interfering with each other.
I would not change my situation for anything. ... I am realizing, though, that things will get harder. ...

My initial fears about fitting in with the people in my dorm are little concerns about how things work are lessening every day. I wasn't expecting the returning students not to help me, but I wasn't expecting them to go so far out of their way to help me out with things. It's really been helping that our floor does so much to include everyone.

Pierce improves; no arrests made after stabbing
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics was upgraded to good condition yesterday while recovering from stab wounds inflicted during a party at a downtown nightclub.
Officials didn't say what the motive was for the stabbing, which occurred at 1:10 a.m. Monday in the Buzz Club/Europa, but a representative said police were investigating associates of the rap group Made Men.
No arrests had been made as of early yesterday afternoon.
WHHD-TV reported early today that arrest warrants had been issued but had not yet been served. The station did not identify who was targeted in the arrest warrants. Boston police would not confirm or deny the report.
or deny the report.
Pierce's condition was upgraded from fair to good yesterday following surgery Monday to repair his damaged lung, said officials at the New England Medical Center. They termed the stab wounds to Pierce's face, neck and back as mostly superficial.
"We can say absolutely that Made Men had nothing to do
Made Men denied any involvement.

with the melee that took place last night," group member Raymond "Ray Dog" Scott, who was at the party, said in a statement Monday. "We do not condone or advocate violence against anybody."
John Swomley, who represents the rap group, said he had contacted investigators and asked if they wanted to speak to his clients, but the investigators declined.
The Boston Herald reported yesterday, based on unidentified sources, that Pierce's assailant was a member of Made Men's 'posse' who was seeking revenge after a confrontation at a different nightclub 24 hours earlier.
The rap group's associates were angry about their perception that Pierce and his friends had been given special treatment, the newspaper reported.
Pierce, 22, the Celtics' first-round draft choice out of Kansas in 1988, was visited by family members from California, and by Celtics staff and players.
"Paul is in good spirits and is looking forward to putting this ordeal behind him and returning to what he does best — playing basketball," his family said in a statement.
we're not sure what the alteration was about," said police representative Mariellen Burns. "We're not even sure Mr. Pierce and his friends were involved in what this alteration was about."
Witnesses told police that an altercation broke out before Pierce was knifed.
No.24 Baylor poses obstacle to Kansas' preseason goals
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For the second time in two weeks the Kansas volleyball team heads to the Lone Star State to take on some heavy hitters.
Tonight the Jayhawks (10-2, 2-2 in the Big 12 Conference) are in Waco, Texas, to take on Baylor (7-5, 1-3).
The Bears' last two games have been five-game matches that ended in defeats to Texas and Missouri, while Kansas has split its last two matches, knocking off Iowa State but falling to top-ranked Nebraska.
Although Kansas' record is superior to Baylor's, the Bears were ranked No. 24 in the preseason standings and have defeated the Jayhawks in all but one match played since the creation of the Bir 12 in 1996.
"They're really good," said coach Ray Bechard. "They are definitely a top 25 team."
Baylor also finished fifth in the conference in 1999 and earned a NCAA Tournament berth. Both of these accomplishments are preseason goals for the 2000 Jayhawks, so beating the Bears could be a major step toward achieving those goals.
"There's no easy road game in this conference," Bechard said. "Anytime you can win a match on the road in this conference, that's a special thing."
However, that step looks more like the long jump tonight because of the Bears' home-court advantage.
Amy Myatt, senior outside hitter said she would much rather it be Nov. 4, the day that Kansas takes on Baylor in its home, Horejsi Family Athletic Center, where the 'Hawks recorded their single win against Baylor in 1999.
"We get kind of sparked at home with our fans," Myatt said. "But you have to play your game well — it doesn't matter where you're playing."
Myatt also said if Kansas has it's game together, as it did in its 3-0 win against Iowa State on Saturday, the Jayhawks could upset the Bears.
4 14 10
However, in order to shut down Baylor, even on a good day, Myatt and the rest of the Kansas front row must stuff the Bears' freshman outside hitter Stevie Nicholas, who leads the Big 12 with 5.84 plays per game.
Myatt will provide good competition for Nicholas as she is third on that list with 4.87 kills per game.
"Honestly, I don't pay attention to their stats," Myatt said. "Any day you go out and play hard, you can win. It doesn't matter what's happened before. It's just volleyball; volleyball is weird that way."

When digging for information to see if Kansas has a shot to beat Oklahoma Saturday, it's best to to talk to a Miner.
Texas-El Paso coach Gary Nord offered some advice to the Jayhawks before they headed to Norman, Okla. Brace for the heat, the Miners coach said. Prepare for the thunderous crowd. And, no matter what, avoid Oklahoma dental hygiene jokes.
Nord has a pretty good idea of what lies ahead for the Jayhawks Saturday as Kansas travels to Norman for a game with the Sooners.
UTEP has had two opponents in common with the Jayhawks. The Miners lost to the Sooners in their season opener Sept. 2, 55-14. The next week they defeated Southern Methodist at home, 37-20.
Can Kansas take anything away from this? If it could not succeed against Southern Methodist, could the Jayhawks possibly stand a chance at Oklahoma? Nord does not see much comparison because Kansas, he said, did not live up to its potential in the SMU loss.
"Kansas was pretty bad in that game," Nord said. "From what we saw on tape, they just gave SMU too many chances. They're a much better team than that, I think."
Kansas lost its season opener at Southern Methodist, 31-17, although the circumstances were different than what UTEP faced. The Mustangs were playing at home in a brand-new stadium and used that emotion to charge themselves to a win.
Nord said that although he primarily watched the SMU-Kansas game to scout the Mustangs, he was aware of the Jayhawks' notorious road woes. Before the UTEP position opened up, he was Oklahoma's offensive coordinator, and he knows a few things about Norman.
"When we were there it was 108 degrees at kickoff," Nord said. "Kansas will also have to be ready for the humidity. It's always humid there. And of course, the fans are loud and obnoxious."
Lately, the Jayhawks have spoken about pride. Playing a ranked opponent would be the perfect opportunity, they said, to gain the respect that Jayhawks coach Terry Allen says his team has not earned yet.
"We'd like to sneak into town," Allen said of the game against Oklahoma after last Saturday's win against Southern Illinois.
Nord understands Kansas' desire to gain some acclaim on the road. However, he cautioned the Jayhawks against speaking up too much. He said it might be best to be quiet this week, noting that the Sooners historically play better when they are spoken negatively about.
Nord tells a story about when he was an assistant at Oklahoma and the football program sent him on a goodwill tour around the state to promote the team. At a dentist's convention, Nord quipd about how he was going to bring a few of the dentists back to Norman with him.
"I told them I had been in Norman for a while and had yet to see anyone with a full set of teeth," Nord said, laughing. "They haven't forgotten about that. I think they were still using it as motivation when my team went there."

Tailgaters mull value of beer, George Bush potato salad
One of the benefits of being a sports columnist is that you can come up with your own assignments.
In about an hour, we visited seven tailgate parties, with an average of six people at each party.
So my roommate, Jeff "Law-Dawg" Heiman, and I set out to see what kind of opinions are out in the Memorial Stadium parking lot, with the hope that some type of story would arise from the adventure.
So rather than taking on the arduous task of talking to any Kansas football players about the victory against Southern Illinois, I elected to talk to the fans tailgating in the parking lot before the game.
The weather was awful, but the mood in the parking lot was positive. Every fan we talked to sensed a win. About half of the fans actually could identify what team we were playing.
I had a notebook with me, with such important questions as: "Do you have beer?" (six out of seven parties admitted they did) and "Better potato salad, mustard or mayonnaise?" (mustard won in a landslide).
The funniest group of people that we visited was the group with the George W. Bush tent covering their party. We figured these Republicans would know how to throw a good tailgate party.
"We're not drinking beer," they informed us.
I figured I had either misheard them or they were kidding with me, because both had cups of beer right before our eyes.
"You're not drinking beer," I reaffirmed. They nodded.
"You get what you pay for," they told me.
Spoken like true Republicans, I thought.
Refuddled. I went on.
they were also the only group to know how to perform the "Millennium Butcher Dance." After I asked one of the gentlemen to show us the dance, he began to do something like the Humpty Dance mixed with a violent chopping gesture with his right arm. His left arm remained motionless, holding his not-beer and cigar.
Of every group we talked to, they were the only people who liked the alcohol policy in Memorial Stadium, which allows alcohol in the scholarship suites but not in the regular stands.
We decided it was time to leave after one of the men started to complain about the liberal media to me.
In their defense, they made sure to send us off with free George W. Bush cups.
The coolest group of guys not only gave us some free food, but they also shared with us some of their beer. The consensus among every fan we talked to was that as long as you drink your alcohol from nondistinguishing containers, and not from beer cans or bottles, the police would leave you alone.
When I asked why tallaging was so much better at K-State, a fan asked me back, "Well, what else have they got to do in Manhattan?"
1
At this point, the game was about to start, so we headed on in to the stadium to enjoy the game. In hindsight, I think I had more fun joking with random fans in the parking lot than watching the game.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 27).
You're looking good this year, and you're lucky, too. Be smart, and you'll get just about anything you want. A wealthy foreigner could find you fascinating in October. Don't be silly; use an opportunity to learn. You're immaculate manners and charm could bring financial gain in November. Dressing well doesn't hurt, either. New information changes things in December, and a return to the past is romantic in February. If you travel in June, don't forget an important detail. Be respectful to an older woman in July and put the polish on your act in September.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day. O the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 5.
You may be outnumbered and outvoted, but never outclassed. Show you're one in a million by going along with your mate or partner's suggestion. He or she probably cares more about this than you do.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today is a 6
You may be facing a mountain of paperwork, but don't despair. You should be in good shape to handle it, now. Besides, several valuable treasures may be buried in there. Pretend you're mining for gold.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Today is a 9.
You just got a whole lot luckier, especially in love! The person you are after may be playing a little hard to get, but don't give up. He or she just wants a lifetime commitment. But, hey, in case you didn't know it, that's the best kind!
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 6.
Does your home need a major renovation? Is it time to paint the kitchen? Get new furniture? Move Don't panic; it doesn't all have to be done in the same moment. Set priorities and break the job into bite-sized bits.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is an 8.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6.
You'll be surprised at how much you can learn, in a relatively short period of time. Pick a topic you've always wanted to do well and give it a try. The conditions in effect now will be especially beneficial with creative endeavors. So, build something
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today is a 9.
You might do well financially, but it won't be easy You'll have to use all your skills. Provide a service that others don't like to do. That's one of your best talents. Keep costs low and charge top dollar. This could be your winning formula.
You can have just about anything you want. The exception might be a gift you'd like to buy a loved one that you can't afford. But, you know what? Even that might be a lucky break. If you turn it into a goal, you could be inspired to greater heights.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today is a 6.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is an 8.
Your lucky break should come about Friday or Saturday. In the meantime, continue to plan. Find out as much as you can so you'll be ready when the right time comes. Ask questions. Somebody's liable to tell you more than they should.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 6.
Your friends are great to be around, and you've got a lot of them. You've had a couple of tough days laterly, so make time for yourself. Going out a week night is usually not a good idea, but you might get away with it. The heat at work is for a while.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a b.
Whaol You'd better cool it for a while. Don't get cockey, especially around the person who signs your paycheck. Don't be too bold with traffic caps, either. Be respectful, even if you feel you know more than the other person. You might not.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 9.
Go along with a sweetheart's request and sail past the only potential problem. Give up something you don't have yet to get something better. A commitment is required. A bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.
Money's still a potential problem area. You and your partner may have to count it all again and figure another way to get more. You can do it. That's the good news. Don't let your tension cause a fight. That's not necessary.

Romania returns medals to protest the taking away of gymnast's gold
SYDNEY, Australia — Romania has returned its remaining two medals in the Olympic women's all-around gymnastics competition to protest Andreae Raducan's loss of her gold medal for taking cold medication containing a banned substance. Romanian national TV reported.
"The gold, silver and bronze medals have been returned although initially (coach) Octavian Belt favored keeping the gold and silver medals which the Romanians would have won anyway," Romanian TV said in the report from Sydney.
But Franklin Servan-Schraiber, representative for the International Olympic Committee, said the medals had not been returned. The Romanians are waiting to see what the results are of Raducan's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
She has a hearing later in the day
OLYMPIC GAMES
"It's held up until the Court of Arbitration makes its decision." Servan-Schreiber said.
The action by the IOC's executive board meant that Raducan's teammate Slimona Alamar moved up to get the gold, while Romanian Maria Olaru got the silver. Liu Xuan of China then got the bronze.
The 4-foot-10, 82-pound Raducan was stripped of her gold from the women's all-around after she tested positive for pseudoephedrine, a banned stimulant. She is the first gymnast ever to be stripped of a medal because of a drug violation.
The Romanian team doctor who gave her the
drug was expelled from the games and suspended through the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake and 2004 Summer Games in Athens.
"Doping is the presence of a prohibited substance in the body. There is no room for individual sympathy," said Francois Carrard, the IOC's director general. Carrard will defend the IOC decision at today's arbitration hearing.
"This is one of the worst experiences I have had in my Olympic life," said Jacques Rogge, vice chairman of the IOC's medical commission. "Having to strip the gold medal from the individual for something she didn't intentionally do was very tough."
Raducan was allowed to keep her gold from the team competition and silver in the vault final. But losing the all-around gold was devastating for the teen.
Even the IOC acknowledged that Raducan's case is not like most others. She took a common cold medicine, and it provided "no competitive advantage at" "Commander said."
that competition." Carrard said.
But she still had a banned substance in her body, said Dick Pound, IOC vice president and head of the World Anti-Doping Agency.
"You just can't leave the field of competition with a gold medal if you've tested positive," Pound said. "Whatever the cause, you've potentially affected the competition."
Raducan's case drew strong reaction Romania, where some 400 students, some chanting "Give the medal back," marched through the southern city of Craiova on Tuesday demanding that Raducan's gold be returned to her.

Women's basketball coaches recall medal-winning efforts
Rv Zoc Hunter
Kansan sportswriter
The 2000 Olympics in Sydney may not seem to have much of a connection with the University of Kansas campus.
Although eight athletes from Kansas are competing in the Games, the distance between Lawrence and Sydney may be too far for the Olympic spirit to travel. However, there is a strong connection between the Kansas women's basketball program and the U.S. national team.
Coach Marian Washington worked as an assistant coach for the gold medal-winning team at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. She was part of the team that helped spark the women's basketball surge that contributed to the success of the WNBA.
"It was a real thrill," Washington said.
The '96 team won the gold medal, but there was one drawback to being on the coaching staff. The coaches didn't get medals, although they did receive a ring commemorating the achievement.
Washington said her favorite moment of the games was watching the players on the medal stand receiving their medals.

"There's just something about

oeing in front of the whole world." Washington said.
While Washington was patrolling the sidelines, assistant coach Lynette Woodard was living her Olympic dream on the court. Her first chance for the gold medal came in 1980 when the games were in Moscow.
However, she never got the chance to play. The United States chose to boycott those Olympics, ending her first shot at a gold medal. All the preparation and effort that Woodard and her teammates put in had gone to waste because of the American absence.
Woodard said it was unfortunate she didn't get to play, but she was happy to be selected to the team.
"We were all set to play the Russians for the gold medal," she said.
Unlike most athletes, Woodard had the rare privilege of being selected for a second Olympic team. And this time the games were on American soil, in Los Angeles, and the home team did not disappoint.
Reflecting on her gold medal-winning performance there. Woodard said the disappointment four years earlier made the Los Angeles Olympic experience even better.
Now, as the women of the U.S. basketball team attempt to win the gold medal in Sydney, memories of past glory return to Woodard when she watches them compete.
"It brings back a lot of great memories," she said. "It's one of the greatest honors to wear the red, white and blue and to represent the United States."

Chenowith knows the competition is tough, but said he was just happy to be nominated.
"It's a great honor for me to be considered for this award, especially among such an elite group of players," Chenwho said.

Heupel big task for'Hawks
Bv Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Josh Heupel, Oklahoma quarterback, isn't going to sneak up on anyone. He's making quite a name for himself.
Heupel, a senior, leads the Big 12 Conference in total offense. He has completed 67 percent of his 103 passes for an average of 299.7 yards per game. He has thrown seven touchdown passes in only three games, capturing the Oklahoma record for career touchdown passes.
The Oklahoma football Web site even features a flashing sign that reads "Josh Heupel candidate for All-America."
Kansas coach Terry Allen, a former quarterback for Northern Iowa, said he was well aware of Heupel's abilities.
"Josh is an excellent quarterback," Allen said. "He's got great accuracy. He's got confidence back there. He's got a strong arm, and he's got excellent protection."
$ 12 CONFERENCE
Quinney Roe, junior cornerback, said he wasn't going to be surprised by Heupel — or any of the other
Sooners, for that matter.
"Well, they're ranked ... 14th in the nation," Roe said. "They've got a good squad. We need to shut the offense down — slow them down as much as we can."
NibbleHub> 2010
Senior strong safety Kareem High, also charged with stopping the Sooner passing attack, described Heupel as poised and patient and said Heupel reminded him of Drew Brees of Purdue.
High also said Heupel had a strong arm and a great group of receivers.
"For our secondary, it'll be a big test," High said. "For the defense as a whole, it'll be a big test as far as stopping the pass and playing the run."
Remarkably, the Jayhawks are leading the nation in pass defense, having allowed only 84 yards per game. However, Alabama-Birmingham and Southern Illinois both ran more than they passed.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops has noticed the Jayhawk defenders.
Jeez, the buy a new domain.
"They have a good secondary and
a strong group of linebackers," he said. "They have been real strong so far this year and are leading the nation in pass defense."
Allen said he was more concerned about Oklahoma than where his pass defense ranked.
"Obviously, we haven't faced the passing attack that you're going to see this week," Allen said. "But from what we've asked of them, they're performing very well. They're doing a good job. There's no question they're getting a lot better than they were. Whether it will hold through this week remains to be seen, but they've done a good job. I'm really pleased with them."
But he also praised the defensive backfield; safeties High and senior Carl Nesmith and cornerbacks Roe and junior Andrew Davison, as well as substitutes Matt Jordan, a sophomore, and Carl Ivey, a redshirt freshman.
Allen also said the pass rush helped out the secondary, as well.
"As we've said all along, you look a lot better in the defensive secondary when the quarterback's on his back," Allen said.

Chiefs' running game hits skids
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If Gunther Cunningham is deeply worried about a running game that's near the bottom of the league in almost every aspect, he's not admitting it.
"Day by day, we're getting better," the Kansas City coach said Tuesday. "We've had a few starters missing out of our offense, and we've never said a word about it."
Nevertheless, there has to be concern in the coaches' office in Arrowhead Stadium as their date with Seattle in next Monday night approaches. In a 23-22 victory against Denver on Sunday that possibly saved their season, the Chiefs (2-2)
netted 49 yards on the ground. Forty-nine?
In the Chiefs' old days, that would not be a satisfactory number for even a half. Leaguewide, their average per rush of 2.6 yards is dead last among 31 NFL teams. In total rushing yards, they're 26th.
The only thing that's kept them alive with victories the past two weeks against San Diego and Denver has been a relentless defense and Elvis Grbac's surprising new ability to make clutch passes.
At Denver, he was 21-of-33 for 250 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner in the final minutes.
This is not the grind it-out, groundhugging offense Chiefs fans have
come to know.
What's wrong with the running game?
"You used to ask these questions about passing," Cunningham said with a smile.
For one thing, the passing game has emerged as a much greater threat. Grbac is throwing the ball better than ever. And with rookie wide receiver Sylvester Morris and Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez, he has more inviting targets. Morris caught three touchdown passes against San Diego.
Gonzalez, finally freed of the extra coverage teams had been laying on him, emerged with 10 catches for 127 yards and a TD at Denver.

Björk decides to stick to music
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Bjork is content to be a one-hit wonder—as a movie actress.
The eclectic pop singer, who has sold 7 million copies of her solo CDs, said she always intended that her starring role in Dancer in the Dark would be a one-shot deal.
It's true Björk walked off the set for a few days during filming, but it wasn't a matter of a temperamental diva throwing a hissy fit and sniffing, 'I'll be in my trailer.' She did it as the film's composer Her music was changed without her being consulted.
That's not because of her already legendary clashes with director Lars von Trier, Björk said in the sometimes tentative, lifting voice that is a hybrid of her native Iceland and several years in Britain, which results in a kind of Danish cockney.
"The reason I don't want to act is not because of this film, that it was difficult or something like that. I felt like that before the film," she says. "I made an exception and decided to act once. But I think I should stick to music. I feel pretty loyal to music."
She and von Trier didn't have a contract, and she was upset that the music was getting chopped up and changed.
Björk, who won the best actress award at this year's Cannes Film Festival, thinks too many people are "fiddling" with too many things, and she doesn't want to be one of those amateurs.
So she's returning to her first and abiding love and feeling a little unfaithful.
naving an affair from music, that I felt dirty," she said. The 34-year-old singer is recording a new album, which is due out next spring, and is happy to be working with people she calls "like-minded."
The chuckle was a bit rueful because she and von Trier sometimes were anything but like-minded while making *Dancer in the Dark*, which won the prize for best film at Cannes.
I were periods in this film when I felt like I was having an affair from music, that I felt dirty," she said.
So she wrote a "manifesto" and demanded final say about the movie's music. The Danish director, who had made a splash with Breaking the Waves, relented and signed it.
"Definitely did not eat clothing," she said, smiling, denying one of the wackier reports of her behavior. "I don't know where that came from."
"You can just go straight to the jokes," she said, with a little laugh.

U.S. softball team takes gold after popup slips from glove
The Associated Press
BLACKTOWN, Australia — Laura Berg deserved this moment of luck, this one ball drifting in a gentle arc through a soft, steady rain, up into the lights, just far enough to make trouble for the Japanese left fielder playing shallow on the slick grass.
The whole American softball team, so beaten down five days ago that the players resorted to a mock voodoo ritual in the shower to wash away their jinx, deserved this magical moment yesterday when the ball landed smack in the fielder's glove and then squirtd free.
One fortuitous fly ball on a night when they could manage only one hit, and suddenly the beacquered U.S. women were 2-1 victors against Japan, and Olympic champions again.
All the luck had gone against them, and they had lost three extraraining games in a row by a total of four runs after winning 112 straight and capturing every major international tournament since 1983.
But when Berg's pop up popped out of Shiori Koseki's glove, scoring pinch-runner Jennifer McFalls from second, everything seemed right again, as if they had taken wrong turns away from their destiny and found their way back.
The American women piled on one another at home, then grabbed large and small flags, and ran around the stadium, bellowing to the thunderous, flashing sky, cavorting giddily as the rain came
down harder and harder.
"Come on, bring it on, rain," a thoroughly soaked Michele Smith shouted, tossing back her head to feel the rain splash on her face as she opened her arms and twirled in delight. "This has been our whole experience. Rain and hard luck. Tough, tough games. And now, finally, gold."
With her long, blond braids flying, Berg had watched the flight of her opposite-field shot to left as she rounded first and felt her heart pounding when she saw McFalls pounding toward home.
"I was so excited I wanted to run with Jenny," Berg said. "All I could think was 'Run. Jenny. run.'"
Berg had blamed herself for Japan's 1-0 lead on a fourth-inning homer by Reika Utsuji, only the second hit off Lisa Fernandez. Berg raced back to the chain-link fence in center, leapt high with her glove outstretched, but couldn't quite reach Utsuji's liner.
"I should have found a way to catch the ball." Berg insisted. "I should have climbed the fence. I should have done something. I told Lisa I gave her."
Berg might have had a shot at a catch, but she was no more responsible for that run than Fernandez or Dot Richardson or Crystl Bustos were for the three losses. Yet each of them sought to take responsibility last week, saying that it was their fault, that they had to dig down deeper and find a way to make amends.
"I came off the mound and blew a fuse a few times, trying to figure out what was going on," said Fernandez, who yielded three hits in this game. "There wasn't a game where I had it all together. I wasn't on automatic. I was struggling."
The strength of this team was the way it reacted to something it had never experienced — defeat.
"We showed a lot of heart and guts." Berg said.
No one showed more heart than Berg, who has ridden an emotional roller coaster the past year. Her fliance, Eric Kidd, has been paralyzed from the waist down since an accident last year. This game came on his 33rd birthday.
The 25-year-old Berg, from Fresno, Calif., also was the only player on the team whose family couldn't come to the Olympics because of work and responsibilities back home. So the other players and their families did their best to make sure she didn't feel lonely.
"We're her family." Richardson said. "We're all family."
They lost together and, in this title game against Japan, they found a way to win together.
While the American players celebrated, Kosei walked in slowly from left field, her shoulders heaving as she sobbed.
"It was just my misjudgment," Koseki said softly and sadly through an interpreter.
One ball popping out of a glove, making all the difference for her, for Berg, for both teams.

Tests spawn dissection dispute
Biology student objects to method
By Jessie Meyer
writer@kansan.com
Kansan campus editor
While the rest of Janice Manuel's biology class observes disemboweled animals today, she will stand firm in her refusal to take part in any activities that involve experimentation on animals in the classroom.
"I have been morally against it for years," Manuel said. "I just think it's wrong to use
animals in that kind of way."
Because Manuel, O'Fallon, Ill., sophomore, feels she is being forced to take tests and quizzes that go against her moral beliefs, she is preparing to take legal action against the University of Kansas. Yesterday, Manuel contacted the National Anti-Vivisection Society and the Animal Legal Defense Fund in search of an attorney.
Although Manuel is not required to participate in the physical cutting of the animals.
"I don't believe that just because I am interested in the medical field, that means I have to dissect animals," said Manuel, whose major is biology. "An animal is so much different than a human."
sne is expected to view the dissected animals for her Biology 152 exams and quizzes — a requirement she equates with dissection.
When Manuel questioned the requirement, she was told it was necessary that she take exams that were comparable to the other students.'
Dean Stetler, director of undergraduate biological sciences, said students were given the option whether to dissect the animals but were expected, in fairness to other students, to take hands-on tests.
"We will never require them to dissect, but they will need to take an exam that's fair to the rest of the class," Stetler said. "In some cases, it does require that they view a dissected organism. Usually, by that time,
there's really no choice."
Sutter, who said this was the first problem he had heard of in four years, said that students were given alternatives to dissection, such as computer programs featuring virtual dissection and modular animals. But he said dissection and hands-on work was the best way for students to learn.
"A computerized picture is always going to look exactly the same," Stetler said. "An actual organism — that's not going to be the case."
But Jodie Wiederkehr, program associate for the NAVS, disagreed.

New garage only half full needs users for toll spots
By Rob Pazell
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Finding a spot in the new east parking garage isn't tough. On an average weekday, the garage is only half full, KU Parking Department officials said.
But Don Kearns, director of parking, said he expected the garage to start filling up as the semester progressed and students began taking advantage of the garage's convenient location at the top of the Hill.
"It just takes time for people to get used to it." Kearns said. "Once people do use it, they realize they don't want to park anywhere else."
The department has sold all 200 of its available student permits and 101 faculty permits, leaving 515 spaces open for people to park on a pav-by-the-hour system.
Kearns said the department wouldn't know how much revenue the garage was generating until the end of October.
It will pay $245,905 in interest every October then pay the same amount of interest plus the $565,000 principal due in April. The total comes close to $1 million a year, Kearns said, which the parking department plans to pay on time.
The $7.6 million garage was paid for by a bond from the Kansas Development Finance Authority. The parking department, which doesn't receive state funds, expects to pay off the bond by April 1, 2014.
The department has been charging $10 for football game-day parking in the garage. Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, said the department sold 370 spaces for the first home game and 217 for the second game. Kearns said many season ticket holders parked in the west garage for free then took $2 shuttles to the games.
The parking department also is advertising the garage to visiting schools during football games such as in-state rival Kansas State University, which comes to Lawrence Saturday, Oct. 7. Kearns expects the garage to be full for that game.
The parking department doesn't expect the east garage to begin filling to capacity until the end of the year. Hultine said the garage hadn't been filling so far because parking hadn't been as bad as in past years.
"Bottom line is, we've got to keep winning football games," Kearns said. "The more games we win, the more tolls we sell."
"Last year, there was a lot of competition with visitor parking," Hultine said.
Kearns said inclement weather in the coming months would be a reason for people to use the new garage. He said that in the past, the west garage had filled for weather conditions such as sleet, snow and hall.
"Once the weather turns ugly, that's when people head for the garage," Kearns said.

Students down under get Olympic perk
Studying abroad turns into vacation for 13 Jayhawks
Ryan Schulze, Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior, looks out at the South Pacific Ocean from the beach in Melbourne, Australia. Schulze is one of 13 University of Kansas students studying abroad in Australia who got a break from classes to attend the 2009 Olympic Games in Sydney, Contributed photo

Kansan staff writer
It's a good time to be in Australia. Just ask the 13 University of Kansas students who are down under studying abroad.
Renee Bergene, program coordinator for the Office of Study Abroad, said the universities in New South Wales gave students a three-week vacation to see Olympic events or travel. The students, most of whom are attending the University of Newcastle, which is a couple of hours from Sydney, took advantage of those three weeks.
Lindsay Kincaid, Overland Park sophomore, wrote in an email that she planned to attend the Olympics and see artistic gymnastics, men's basketball, softball and beach volleyball.
Attending the Olympics in Sydney could be considered the chance of a lifetime, but it's one that comes at a cost. Bergene said most events cost between $50 and $75 to attend, depending on their popularity.
Bergene said an alternative option for students was volunteering to help at the games. But volunteer work was time consuming, and most students chose to attend a few events and then travel, she said.
Andrea Quill, Schaumburg, Ill., senior, was one example. She attended the gymnastics finals on Monday, but spent the majority of her time sightseeing.
Quill flew to Cairns to scuba dive along with two other girls. Then it was off to the Atherton Tablelands to canoe and mountain bike, backpack and sail.
"You would be surprised how different the people are here," Quill wrote in an e-mail. "They actually go out of their way to help you out and be friendly! And they are so laid back!"
Jonathon Fewins, Redfield junior, also observed the people, but wrote more about the atmosphere created by the Olympics.
Ryan Schulze, Dakota Dunes,
S.D., junior, said many residents of Sydney left town for the Olympics because they felt the transportation system was inadequate.
"The Australians really have mixed emotions about the Olympics," he wrote. "Some of them are really looking forward to the events, and then there are others that don't want to have anything to do with it."
"I've come to find that many residents of Sydney are not looking forward to the Olympics," he wrote.
But regardless of traffic jams and overcrowded hotels, the Olympics landed in Sydney and are about to draw to a close. Bergene said it was likely students would also continue to land there on study abroad programs, noting that it was one of the more popular spots that students chose.
The Olympics have given the continent a lot of exposure, she said, and Australia is an easy choice for English-speaking students. Besides that, she said it was a fun and beautiful place. Kiaras couldn't agree more.
Kincaid could agree more. "I am loving Australia," she wrote. "It is more incredible than I ever could have imagined."

Task Force recommends new building for lab space
Bv Luke Wetzel
Special to the Kansan
In years to come, students looking out from the concrete expanses of Wescoe Terrace may see a new figure interrupting the skyline — a six-story science laboratory.
The building was one of several recommendations outlined by the Science Education Task.Force in a report released yesterday.
The task force, consisting of 16 KU scientists and created to foster scientific education, met regularly from October 1999 to May 2000 to assess the teaching of science at the University of Kansas and elsewhere in the state.
Among the issues discussed was the need for new laboratories.
"One of the things that constrains us right now is, in fact, facilities," said Sally Frost Mason, task force member and dean of liberal arts and sciences, in a written statement.
"It's very difficult to talk and meet in groups if you have a bookshelf or a bench in front of you."
Joe Heppert, associate professor of chemistry and vice chairman of the task force, said

the idea for a new building predated the task force, but that the recommendation reemphasized its importance.
Heppert said the narrow laboratories of Malott Hall were constraining for group work and integrating new technology.
The proposed building, which would be situated just east of Malott and would cost roughly $60 million, would house the chemistry department.
Heppert said the state Board of Education's de-emphasis of the teaching of evolution was a factor in the creation of the task force.
"It's very difficult to talk and meet in groups if you have a book-shelf or a bench in front of you." Heppert said.
"There was a concern about what KU was doing to foster scientific education," Heppert said. "It was an indication that there's a significant portion of the population that doesn't have a fundamental understanding of what science is."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway echoed this concern in his convocation speech Aug. 23.
"I did not want people to think that the University of Kansas was not going to be a part of the cutting edge of science education," Hemenway said.
Heppert is director of the University's Center for Science Education, a new organization dedicated to the continuing improvement of science education. He said he expected that improvements in facilities and education would help draw more faculty and research to the science department, as well as establish the University as a scientific resource for the state.
Heppert said the task force emphasized that even non-science majors needed to learn about scientific inquiry, so they could make responsible decisions regarding science and health.
"We want students to approach science as something exciting, engaging and relevant," he said. "We want to help people to be literate about what science is and what it's not."

International studies centers receive grants
Four KU international studies centers have been awarded three-year Title VI grants.
The grants, awarded by the U.S. Department of Education, are worth $3.1 million during the three-year period. The KU centers for African, East Asian, Latin American, Russian and East European studies each were recognized in the grant. The money will be used to support research, teaching and outreach.
Anne Merydith-Wolf, project coordinator of the Office of International Programs, said that the grants would bring the centers the distinction of being national resource centers.
"These are highly competitive grants." Merydth-Wolf said. "And for a university to have four of them is quite an accomplishment."

Researchers studying oil-recovery method
KU researchers have begun digging for oil this week to study a new method of oil recovery.
Researchers from the Kansas Geological Survey are pumping liquid carbon dioxide into oil wells in Russell County. The method could allow oil companies to draw several times more oil out of a given area, said Tim Carr, senior scientist at the Kansas Geological Survey.
"When carbon dioxide is at very high pressures in liquid form, it acts as a solvent," he said. "It's like trying to get oil off your garage floor. That oil sticks to those rocks, and the carbon dioxide acts like a soap."
Carbon dioxide has been used to increase oil production in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, but never before in Kansas, Carr said.
Researchers hope the new technology will make available an additional 15 to 21 million barrels that could not be accessed through traditional methods. Carr said.
The project is financed by the U.S.

Student hurt during attempted robbery
Three men attacked a 19-year-old male KU student in an attempt to rob him at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 600 block of W. 10th Street, Lawrence police said.
Det. M.T. Brown said the student was standing with his girlfriend, an 18-year-old University student, on the curb when three men approached. One of the men stopped and asked the student what time it was and then continued walking.
Brown said the man then returned with two others, and one of the men hit the student in the back of his head several times and once in the arm. Brown said police later recovered the weapon, which appeared to be a broken wheelbarrow handle.
The victim then began running south on Indiana Street, and one of the men asked him for his money, Brown said. The victim refused and continued to run and call for help.
Brown described the first suspect as an 18- to 25-year old Caucasian male with rugged facial hair, about 5-foot-6, wearing a white FUBU jersey with the numbers "05" in blue, a dark stocking cap and baggy jeans.
The victim did not want to be taken to the hospital but said he would go on his own later, Brown said.
The third suspect was described as an 18- to 25-year-old male, race unknown, wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt.
He described the second suspect as an 18- to 25-year-old Black male wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and baggy blue jeans.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call 843-TIPS.
Complaint leads police to underage drinkers
Lawrence police responding to a noise complaint at 4:02 a.m. yesterday discovered a manager of a local bar serving alcohol to two of his undergraduate friends after hours, Det. M.T. Brown said.
Brown said the manager had come to make sure the doors were locked and decided to drink. He then served two of his friends, who were 19 and 20 years old, from the bar.
A city ordinance prohibits bars from serving alcoholic beverages past 2 a.m.
The 19- and 20-year-olds were issued tickets for possession of alcohol by a minor, Brown said.

Hollywood plan restricts R-rated movie marketing

Yugoslav election results still being questioned
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Yugoslav opposition leaders have rebuked President Slobodan Milosevic's claim that he earned enough votes to force a runoff in presidential elections.

Tests based on dissection deemed unfair by student
Continued from page 1A
"The teaching of animals in the classroom is outdated; it's unnecessary," she said. "What is the value of that, or the purpose? If it's teaching human anatomy, then they should be teaching them human anatomy."
Stetler argues that dissection is necessary and beneficial to students and that it is something that cannot be emulated.
"If we didn't think it was a significant educational experience, we wouldn't have them do it," Stetler said. "As a bioscientist, it's a necessary thing to do. There are no models or computerized programs that are as complex as the real thing."
Manuel said she thought some people could learn from dissecting animals, but that it was not useful for everyone. Her main objection is the lack of testing options.
Manuel said she sought legal assistance because she felt her grades, and possibly her college career, would suffer. And she found full support.
"Janice has a case here," Wiederkhr said.
"Unfortunately, there are no laws at the college
level for the colleges to offer alternatives. However, they should offer an alternative. No student should be forced to do this against their will."
Wiederkehr added that there have been several university cases similar this one and that those that went to court were dismissed because the universities usually agreed to make accommodations for the student.
Jeanne McVey, director of communications for ALDF, said that ALDF received an e-mail requesting legal aid from Manuel yesterday and that it would connect her with an attorney from the Kansas City area.
"If she finds an attorney and the attorney agrees to talk her case, we try to help as much as we can," McVey said. "Any kind of support we can provide, we provide."
And that support is what Manuel said she was hoping to find. She said that although she didn't think it would go to court, she was prepared to pursue it if need be.
"It's important to me," Manuel said. "I believe we should have an alternative."

Education committee seeks dean for school
By Jennifer Valadez
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The search is on for a new dean to lead the University of Kansas School of Education into the future.
A 15-member search committee — comprised of education faculty, staff and students, and University administration — is beginning to seek out applicants for the dean's position at the school.
Susan Twombly, professor of education and committee coordinator, said the committee would be screening applicants in December and interviews would begin in February.
"We're looking for someone who's an accomplished scholar and has previous administrative experience." she said.
Twomby added that it was important for potential candidates to understand the importance of the role technology played in the development of the school.
She said that Karen Symms Gallagher, former dean of education, accepted another dean's position at the University of Southern California. Jerry Bailey has been serving as interim dean for the school since Gallagher left this summer. Bailey said that he was unsure if he would be applying for the position.
Fred Rodriguez, professor of education and a faculty representative on the search committee, said he hoped prospective candidates for the position would be able to balance the many duties as dean of the school.
"Today's role of a dean is more challenging than in the past," he said. "It should be someone who supports what the faculty see as a vision of what they want the education school to be like in future years."
Nikki Bina, Lincolnville senior,
said the new dean should be
concerned with building positive
relationships with the students.
Bina is the student representative
on the committee.
"I don't think the dean should be someone who's stuck in their office and meetings all day," she said. "I understand the dean will have a lot of duties, but how they interact with the students is important."
Twomby said that attracting qualified applicants posed a challenge to the search committee because good candidates often are content with their current positions at other institutions.
"The biggest challenge we face is in finding a high quality person to fill the position," she said.

Haase takes graduate's fight with cancer to center court

Kansan staff writer
In his five years at the University of Kansas, Marcel Brou bad many roles.
He was a Student Senator, heavily involved in the international student community, a volum
teer at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center and a graduate teaching assistant in the department of French and Italian.
Today, Brou is fighting for his life. His cancer has been getting progressively worse since the disease was diagnosed in 1988.
Former KU- basketball player Jerod Haase is one of many coming to his aid.

Hease: Sponsoring benefit for graduate fighting cancer
Isabella, are sponsoring a benefit for Brou and his family. The benefit will be from 6 p.m. to midnight Friday, Oct. 13 at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 2006 E. 32rd St.
Duane Van Anne, benefit coordinator and Knights of Columbus member, said he first met Brou about two years age through Brou's involvement with the group.
"He was a very congenial person who made many friends," Van Anne said. "Now most of those people are responding to him in his time of
need."
David Dinnen, professor of French and Italian,
said Brouw was a positive asset to the department.
Daphnie Johnston, assistant graduate dean, said she became acquainted with Brou when he came to the University in 1988. Brou traveled from his home in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Johnston was working with International Student Services at the time and served as Brou's international student adviser. Johnston said that his determination to succeed at the University was outstanding.
"His desire to communicate was so strong and he was outgoing and friendly," she said. That's something about him as a person that has probably touched all who have come into contact with him.
Brou's wife, Toni (Thennes) Brou, said a native African stew, one of Marcel's favorite dishes, would be served at the benefit dinner. One of Marcel's ways of displaying hospitality was through his love of cooking.
"We really appreciate all the help people have given us," she said. "We're just really trying to treasure every moment."
Van Anne, the benefit coordinator, said the event would have a chill feed, auction and raffle, followed by a dance. He said that efforts to organize the function were roaring well.
For more information about volunteering or donating items for the auction, call 749-2919 or 331-2035 or e-mail LovBaglio@aol.com. Donations for the Marcel Brou Benefit can be made at the Douglas County Bank, 300 W. Ninth St.

Senate passes travel expenses bill

The Mock Trial Team now can request funding for travel expenses after Student Senate passed a bill at last night's meeting granting it an exemption from normal funding restrictions.
The bill, which was approved 31-24, would add the team to a group of organizations that can request funding for travel expenses. Other organizations exempt from the rule include the Graduate Student Paper Presentation Travel Fund, KU Bands and KU Forensics.
The team, which has about 25 members, competes in tournaments that act out a trial in a courtroom format based on a case published by the American Mock Trial Association, said

Association Branden Bell, Mock Trial Team president. Last year, Senate denied the exemption for the team.
Bell said the group had received $3,500 from the School of Law and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to offset travel expenses.
Erin Simpson, off-campus senator,
opposed the bill.
STUDENT SENATE
What happened: Student Senate passed a bill granting the Mock Trial Team an exemption to a restriction on funding travel expenses.
What it means: In the future, the team can request money from Senate to pay for the costs of traveling to tournaments.
What's next: the bill will go into effect if Student Body President Ben Walker signs it.
"If you look at the list of exemptions, we shouldn't have to fund any of them," Simpson said. "We give the marching band money because otherwise they wouldn't be able to do anything because the School of Fine Arts and Athletics Department won't fund them. It's done as an absolute last resort."
Simpson also said that granting the team an exception would be a long-term change. "They've done an excellent job this year attaining outside funding, but that is not guaranteed in the future," she said.
Dallas Rakestraw, Nunemaker senator, said the team had addressed Senate's past concerns.
"They've been here, established themselves, and they're damn good," Rakestraw said. "They've gone to nationals every year and gotten outside funding. I think we should definitely consider the fact that they have fulfilled their part of the bargain."

Perspective Prisoner deserves clemency
We cannot always trust our government. Unfortunately, this information is usually filed away in the "I don't want to think about it" part of our minds. Nonetheless, we must face up to the circumstances in which our government grievously wrongs groups or individuals. Such is especially the case with imprisoned First Nations activist Leonard Peltier.
In the early and mid-seventies, Leonard was a leader in the American Indian Movement (AIM). The FBI had recently destroyed the African-American movement initiated by the Black Panthers, culminating with the murder of Panther leader Fred Hampton. The FBI next turned its attention to AIM.
The Bureau turned its attention to AIM organizer, Leonard Peltier, who had been under its surveillance. Meanwhile, all the AIM members and supporters involved in the shootout went into hiding; Leonard fled to Canada. He was arrested there in 1976 and extradited back to the United States because of the testimony of Myrtle Poor Bear, a Pine Ridge resident.
Within three years, during a time of conflict between First Nations traditionalists and gov-
ever was carried out, the FBI immediately raced to find someone whom it could convict for killing the agents.
ermitted support for assimilationists, more than 60 individuals on the Pine Ridge Reservation (a home of AIM support) were murdered, most likely by an FBI-backed group calling themselves the GOON squad. In this climate of fear and mistrust, even more tragedy occurred.
Before Leonard was tried, the FBI switched judges from the first trial to one it felt would be more inclined to favor it. In an unethical move, the FBI even met with this judge before the trial to secure his sympathies
P. J. K.
In June of 1975, two FBI agents and an AIM member were killed in a massive shootout. While no investigation of the death of the AIM member

opinion@kansan.com
Poor Bear stated that she was Leonard's girlfriend and that she had witnessed him kill the agents. However, she did this under the threat of violence against her and the threat that her children would be taken away. In fact, Poor Bear never met Leonard and was not present when the agents were shot.
The judge went on to ban testimony from Poor Bear and her family, all of whom were going to testify that she had lied and been coerced. The judge also allowed the jury to be intimidated by being treated as if it was under threat from AIM members, a notion that was completely false. He continued this trend by banning evidence of previous setups by the FBI against other AIM members and also by banning evidence of similar FBI tactics against other groups, things that were not happening because of an uproar about the murderous and unconstitutional treatment of the Black Panthers.
During the trial, an FBI ballistics expert testified that, while he could not do the best available test on a rifle that the FBI connected to Leonard (it had been damaged), he did find that the rifle could have been the one used to kill the agents. In truth, it was found after the trial that the expert was able to do the best available test and that the rifle connected to Leonard was not the one that fired the fatal shots. The man had simply lied.
Leonard was found guilty, though the prosecution has since stated, "We did not know ... who shot those agents." He has been imprisoned for more than 24 years, his appeals are exhausted (though one of his appellant judges now supports him), and a biased parole board is unlikely to let him out any time soon. Thus, Leonard's last, best chance is executive clemency from President Clinton.
So, it is up to us, as citizens of the United States, to join the late Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama and former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark (among millions of others worldwide) to work for Leonard's release. Simply writing the White House or calling it at (202) 456-1111, for the rest of Clinton's term, would be a tremendous step in the right direction.

As usual, time had gotten away from me while I was eating my Honey Bunches of Oats for breakfast. So, like many other students at this time of the morning, I was in a hurry. Perhaps I had tunnel vision that morning, or maybe I was just spaced out thinking about the quiz I had
later that day.
Regardless of what I was thinking, I was about to be hit by a car.
I heard the screeching cry of the breaks as I was about halfway through the pedestrian crosswalk on Sunnyside Drive between Robinson and Summerfield. Adrenaline pumped through my body and I instinctively, and rather athletically, lunged forward out of the intersection.
FASHION
Fortunately, as I looked over my shoulder to see how close I came to being road kill, I saw that the Ford Festiva had stopped well in front of the white rectangular boundaries of the crosswalk. Thank goodness the Festiva was equipped with some well-made Goodyears, or I might have been a casualty of ignorance in that crosswalk. Or was it my fault?
The driver of the lightweight economy car, whom I lovingly refer to as the Road Zombie, might best answer that question. As I began to put my hand up to wave "thanks" or "sorry" or whatever symbolic gesture I could give for him not hitting me, Mr. Zombie flipped me off.

At this point I could have gotten nasty with him, but I was more in shock that he made such a big deal out of such an innocent and unfortunately, everyday occurrence for pedestrians at the University of Kansas.
Mr. Zombie proceeded to tell me in the most colorful way to, "Take your head out of your blankety-blank! I can't believe you took so blanking long to walk through the blanking intersection. Blankhead!"
I replied with, "Have a nice day!" And then mumbled some other choice words under my breath as I kept walking up the Hill.
What is the problem with the people driving on campus?
As the week continued, I witnessed at least three other instances of automobile/pedestrian road rage. It is clear that those of us who choose to drive through campus have lost the patience for those on foot.
Road rage now is taking a new form, and it is starting right here in Lawrence, Kansas. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next few years, serious and intentional crimes are committed against pedestrians because John or Jane Doe behind the wheel feels that it is their God-given right to drive as they please and bend the laws.
In my case, Mr. Zombie, who I apparently made late for his rabies shot, lost all sense of reality considering the fact that it is the law for all vehicles to yield to pedestrian traffic at a marked crosswalk.
Eventually, someone will get hurt.

Editorial
Coach Allen is part of a systemic problem, not the only party to blame.
Handbill accusations off-target
Two weeks ago, 12 students handed out handballs at the first KU football home game of the season, calling awareness to the incident of sexual assault of a female KU soccer player by two KU football players last February. The students took an admirable initiative in attracting attention to the case, and the timing and location were smartly chosen.
However, in the aftermath of the incident, we need to remember that Terry Allen alone was not responsible for the players' punishment, and all the accusations need not be directed toward him.
Terry Allen is only a part of a much wider system that has allowed the incident to occur and has almost succeeded in letting it go unpunished. The perception that those two players obviously have, that sexually assaulting women is OK, was not instilled in their minds by Terry Allen. Unfortunately, this attitude and mentality can be found not only in the University or our athletic department, but also in an alarming number of schools and athletic departments around the country, as is demonstrated by the numerous cases of athletes committing sexual assault.
Calling attention to the case is not only commendable, but of vital importance in working toward a permanent solution to the problem.
Nonetheless, attacking and focusing on individuals that deserve only part of the blame is not a constructive way of dealing with it. When undertaking a task as major as seeking to change a societal attitude, launching campaigns against specific individuals — who, again, deserve only part of the blame — is not the way to go. The only effective means of changing attitudes is awareness and education, advocating positive changes and addressing the core of the problem.
Although undoubtedly the purpose of handbills was to promote awareness and in the long run change attitudes, the attack on Terry Allen narrowed the focus of the issue.

Sen. Brownback uttered the most ignorant words ever published in the Kansan. He said the entertainment industry should enter a voluntary code of conduct. If we're speaking purely hypothetically, he should have said people should stop killing each other. Kudos, Mr. Senator, on ducking any real issue.

Women engineers encouraged
Rv Brooke Hasler
Special to the Kansan
Engineering students had the chance last night to dine and chat with representatives from more than 50 companies at the School of Engineering's "Evening with the Industry."

Although the Women's Engineering Programs Department sponsored the event, that didn't stop men from attending, said Jenelle Marsh, coordinator of women's programs.
"The dinner is for students in the Society of Women Engineers," Marsh said. "Males can join that society, and we do have male members. After those members sign up, then we open it to anyone who wants to attend."
Of the 95 students in attendance, Marsh said she estimated just under 40 percent were male. However, the topic of the keynote speech, given by Sharyl Hackett, campus relations and diversity manager for ExxonMobil Inc., was primarily geared toward women.
Hackett spoke about the balancing act women in the engineering industry have to perform.
"Women in the work force today have to make hard decisions," Hackett said. "They have to make decisions that a lot of times men
aren't expected to make in regards to balancing family and work."
Hackett also said there were more career opportunities for female engineers.
"The job market is better than ever for women engineers," she
said. "At ExxonMobile, I think we have a large number of women and also minorities."
Laura King, Salina senior and chemical engineering student, agreed. She said having a small number of female students in engineering meant more job opportunities for her when she left college.
"So many companies are looking for female engineers," she said. "Events like this are a great way to get your foot in the door."
Tom Mulinazzi, assistant dean of engineering, said there were 321 female undergraduate engineering students in comparison to 1,327 male undergraduates in the school.
Mulinazzi pointed out that these were not official University of Kansas numbers and that they might deviate by plus or minus five students.
All of the companies represented at the dinner will be at the engineering career fair today from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kansas Union ballroom.

Environment scholar, activist joins faculty
Brooks brings experience as politician, reformer to educate KU students
By Nathan Dayani Special to the Kansan
Scholar. Environmental activist. Former member of the Idaho Senate. And now students at the University of Kansas can call him Professor Brooks.
Karl Brooks, assistant professor in both the history and environmental studies departments, is one of the newest additions to the University faculty. Having just received his doctorate last May, Brooks may still be getting used to being called professor.
Academics, however, are certainly nothing new to Brooks.
"He has first rate credentials," said Don Worster, professor of history and environmental studies.
Such credentials include an impressive career as a scholar. Brooks received his bachelors degree from Yale University in 1978, his masters from the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1980 and his doctorate from the University of Kansas in 2000. Brooks also graduated Harvard Law School in 1983.
After years of studying at prestigious institutions, Brooks returned to his home state of Idaho in 1983. He practiced law in Idaho until 1993 and served three consecutive terms as a state senator between 1986 and 1992.
Working as a state senator was an exciting and frustrating experience, Brooks said. He found that powerful business lobbyists were willing to clash with environmental reformists in his senate.
"Iissues dealing with the environment are very controversial and polarized," Brooks said. Worster said that he thought Brooks successfully worked with the senate in reforming environmental policies in Idaho. Brooks helped pass legislation that preserves some of Idaho's rivers and streams. Furthermore, Brooks played a critical role in reforming Idaho's oversight of state grazing lands.
"Idaho is more ecologically sound than it was."
"Pruce said."
Worster thinks Brooks' experience in environmental studies and public policy strengthens his teaching because he does not deal with abstract concerns.
"He's a great asset to the whole University community." Worster said.
Brooks' class, "Environmental and Public Policy in 20th Century America," examines the roles of activism, politics and policy in respect to the environment. Brooks encourages his students to understand the political process while advocating that his students use their curiosity to generate constructive criticism.
James Throckmorton, Leawood senior, said he thought that Brooks brought numerous strengths to the classroom.
"He's definitely interesting." Throckmorton said. "He blends history into environmental topics, and we get to have guest speakers and question them on their environmental stances."
Brooks said he was delighted to work at the University because of the diversity of students, resources and faculty. Brooks said he hoped to become a better teacher and educate and train more responsible Kansans.

Top runner returns to team
Summer events leave Gruber without rest
By Ryan Malashock
sports@kansan.com
Kansan Swordwriter
The men's cross country team will welcome back its top runner from last year, senior Charlie Gruber, Saturday at the Oklahoma State University Jamboree in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Coaches Stanley Redwine and Doug Clark, along with Gruber, decided before Kansas' first meet that Gruber would continue training but not participate in the first two meets.
Gruber had not been hampered by any single injury, but he had participated in so many summer events that his body needed resting.
Gruber said that he knew his body needed a break, but that he still missed being in competition.
"I trained so hard all summer that I needed to take some time off," Gruber
said. "I honestly could have raced, but I wanted to focus on training. The guys have done well, and it hasn't big that big of a deal. I just wanted to continue training and get stronger."
Gruber concluded his last spring with the conference and national championships. He then participated this summer in several meets around the Midwest, a U.S. Olympic Development meet in Maine and the U.S. Olympic Trials in Sacramento, Calif.
Gruber concluded his track season late
Clark said that Gruber stressed concern at the start of the season regarding the condition of his body. Clark also said that Gruber's return would be a much needed boost for the team's
needed boost for the men's team
Gruber: dick's participate in the first two meets of the season
"Charlie returning is going to be a huge difference for our team," Clark said. "Having a senior like Charlie coming back will make our top five very strong."
Clark said that the rest of the team had
done well in Gruber's absence, but it still was ready for his return.
"Our top five should all be able to pack together this Saturday," Clark said.
"(Freshman) Brian Raggett has been doing a great job filling in our fifth spot, but Charlie's return should boost us."
Gruber is looking to build from the strong times he finished with last season. He was the highest-placing Jayhawk at last season's Big 12 Championships and also placed 47th at the District V Regionals.
Gruber's expectations for the Oklahoma State Jamboree' range from running a hard race to helping his teammates run harder. He said he just wanted to prove to himself that he was back in competitive shape.
"I think that I'll be able to run an entire 8K race and not just run and hold on," Gruber said. "I've been going through tough workouts, and I
just want to race extremely hard and be a total Kansas Javhawk,"
The men's cross country team hopes that this total Kansas Jayhawk will return on Saturday with a bang.

New guard hopes to lead 'Hawks
By Zac Hunter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportstwitter
The Kansas women's basketball team is setting up for a changing of the guard at the end of the season.
National Team. She also was named the most valuable player of the Junior National Championship in 1997 and 1998.
For the past three seasons senior guard Jennifer Jackson has basically run the show for the Jayhawks, and she will assume that role again this season.
At the end of the season, however, Kansas is faced with the question of who will replace Jackson when she graduates. Kansas coach Marian Washington said the answer might come in the form of a 5-foot-7 freshman guard from Sweden.

That is not the case, however. Menguc said she already had lived by herself for two years so she could play basketball for her club team.
"I had to move from Stockholm to another city to be able to play and go to school at the same time because I had to travel so much." Menguc said. Menguc said, that she would

"Back home, they were so old they didn't run very much," she said.

While she will have to tweak her game a little to fit in with the Kansas style of basketball, there is one aspect of Swedish basketball that she wants to keep — her attitude.
Menguc said players in Sweden were known for keeping a level head during games, and that is something she wants to retain this season for the Jayhawks.

Players, fans want games to be shown on television

games on television. Frederick said three games were considered into the program's yearly budget (each Big 12 team can play up to six televised games). So far, none have been picked up. He said he remained confident that at least three or four would be.
The problem is numbers that the University cannot control.
But it's not as if the Big 12 does not have plenty of opportunities for broadcasts. The conference will appear at least 32 times (at most 36) on ABC and 44 times on Fox.
Most of the state of Kansas does not receive Fox Sports Net, so the network is less inclined to show teams from the area.
"Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State are really at a disadvantage," Frederick said.
And, Frederick notes, there are as many television sets in Texas as there are in the rest of the conference, so those schools automatically become more attractive to the networks.
Another problem exists to get Kansas on television. If the Jayhawks aren't going to be good, then their opponent better be. For example, the Kansas-Nebraska game Nov. 4 is much more likely to get broadcasted if the Cornhuskers are contending for a national title. Of course, if Nebraska's that good, it becomes exponentially more difficult for Kansas to win.
The line of importance of getting on television becomes even narrower if Kansas is put on television for a home game.
The Jayhawks will be inclined to be heard on radio or seen on the eminent ticker. Even Nesmith, who has received national acclaim for his idea of the Butcher Shop, figures that a larger audience is no big deal and he's in no hurry to get extra time on the tube.
"I feel great about our chances," Nesmith said. "It doesn't matter if we're on TV or not. We have to go down there and prove we can win on the road."
As Kansas brings a miserable recent road history to No. 14 Oklahoma, the chance of Kansas keeping the game's score close remains to be seen.
But not on television.

Two suspects surrender in Pierce stabbing case
BOSTON (AP) — Two men of three men wanted by police in the stabbing of Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce turned themselves in Wednesday night, police said.
Tony McCray, also known as Tony Hurston, 31, and Trevor Watson, 34, appeared at a Boston police station at 7:30 p.m. with their lawyers and surrendered. They are to be arraigned Thursday morning in Boston Municipal Court.
A warrant had been issued for Hurston, Watson and William Ragland, 28, charging all three with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Hurston's attorney, John Swomley, said Hurston was working in New York when he leamed of the warrant against him. Swomley also represents members of Made Men, a rap group that some witnesses reportedly told police might have had a connection to the stabbing.
Police still were looking for
Ratland Wednesday night.
Police said earlier this week that they were investigating associates of the rap group Made Men. O'Malley would not comment on whether the suspects had ties to the group, and members of the group have denied any involvement in the stabbing.
Pierce was stabbed multiple times at a Boston night club early Monday. Pierce was listed in good condition Wednesday at New England Medical Center as he recovered from stab wounds to his
face, neck and back. He could be released from the hospital as early as tomorrow.
The 6-foot-7, 220-pound Pierce played forward and guard last season for a team trying to break a streak of five seasons without making the playoffs. He averaged 19.5 points and ranked second in the NBA in steals with 2.08 a game.
Pierce, an All-American at Kansas, was drafted in the first round in 1998 after his junior season.
Pacers' center retires after 12 NBA seasons
INDIANAPOLIS — Rik Smits never lost his love for basketball, but his aching size-21, feet told him it was time to get out.
The 7-foot-4 center, who played more games for the Indiana Pacers than any player except Reggie Miller, retired yesterday, less than a week before training camp opens.
He said he made his decision several weeks ago, but at the urging of team president Donnie Walsh he took more time to think things over.
"I said from the beginning as soon as I'm going downhill or I'm over the hill, 'I like to call it quits.' Smits said at a news conference at Concoce Fieldhouse.
Smits, the second pick in the 1988 draft, spent his entire NBA career with the Pacers.
He averaged 14.8 points and 6.1 rebounds a game for his career and was the team's all-time leader in blocks. His only All-Star appearance was in 1998, and he reached the NBA Finals for the first time last season when the Pacers lost in six
games to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Chiefs' guard injures right arm, may retire
FOOTBALL
KANSAS CITY — The career of Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl guard Dave Szott could be over after his second serious arm injury.
Szott suffered tom biceps in his right arm in the season opener against Indianapolis Sept. 3. The injury at first was thought to be relatively minor, but now is said to be identical to the tom biceps injury he suffered in his left arm last year, which kept him out of the entire season.
"That's something my wife and I will sit down and talk about," the 32-year-old Szott said of retiring.
Szott was scheduled to make $1.8 million as a 10-year starter at left guard for the Chiefs. He will be in a brace for eight weeks as part of a rehabilitation program that will take three to four months after he underwent surgery Sept. 19.

Hockey player faces on-ice assault charges
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Marty McSorley testified yesterday he wasn't trying to hurt Donald Brashear when he bashed the Vancouver Canucks defenseman in the head with his stick.
"I was trying to strike Donald Brashear high in the body, up around his shoulder area," McSorley said.
McSorley, who has played in the NHL for 17 seasons, could get up to 11/2 years in prison if convicted of assault for clubbing Brashear in the Feb. 21 game between Boston and Vancouver.
The blow is not in dispute. The judge will try to determine whether such an attack in a professional bockey same constitutes assault
The trial is the first for an on-ice attack by an NHL player since Dino Ciccarelli, then with the Minnesota North Stars, was sentenced in 1988. He received one day in jail and a $1,000 fine for hitting Toronto's Luke Richardson with his stick.
Brashear, who hit the back of his head on the ice after McSorley hit him, sustained a concussion, lost consciousness for a few moments on the ice and suffered memory lapses. He returned to play after several weeks and has fully recovered.
McSorley was suspended by the NHL for the rest of the season and is now an unrestricted free agent. He must meet with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman before he resumes playing.

Letters to the Editor Olympics have spirit some people do not
I think Jason misses the two most important factors for the "lack of spirit" he sees in this year's Olympic games.
First, the games aren't in the United States, so naturally the hype won't be quite as noticeable. But try telling Australia there isn't spirit. They are a truly amazing population FULL of spirit. Personally, I feel they embody the Olympic spirit more so than our country did in '96.
Second, the Olympics don't lack spirit, people like Jason do. I have a great interest in watching the
Olympics, delayed or not, even when I already know the outcome. I cheer for the United States, but I also cheer for anyone giving of themselves the way Olympic athletes do.
It makes me sad to hear from people like Jason, who lack the ability to invest their feelings and "spirit" in an event as important as the Olympics. What if his brother was one of the members of the four-person team from some obscure Pacific Island country? Or what if his sister overcame a tragic personal setback to become the country's best handball player? Jason's complete lack of compassion and interest is disappointing.
Jason's article was written from a truly juvenile and selfish perspective. Fire up your Dreamcast,
Jason. I'm sure that's the kind of spirit and excitement you're after

Koreans have much to celebrate in Sydney
Jason Walker's column in the September 26 Kansan sports section made me doubt the quality level of the Kansan as a representative college newspaper.
I hope that Jason's absolute ignorance of what is going on out there in the world does not typify KU students. I am Korean, and I wonder if
you know or care why Koreans are shedding tears of joy as they watch these Olympics?
Jason, have you had any chance to learn why so many fathers and grandfathers in the world, including maybe yours, shed their blood in the Korean war? Maybe you need to spend less time on Nick at Night and more time on current affairs. Maybe then you would notice something different in the Sydney Olympics — something of international consequence.
Kerri Strug's ankle likely took months to heal. Do you know how long Korea has hoped for healing?

Kansas running back Moran Norris tries to break a tackle to gain extra yards in a 42-0 win against Southern Illinois Saturday.

Regardless of outcome Kansas needs som
The Jayhawks seem resigned to the lack of publicity. There is some timidness about the Oklahoma game in particular because Kansas has not fared well on the road.
"We're never on TV," said wide receiver Teraine Fulton. "Even when I was being recruited, Kansas was never on TV. We have to go out and prove we're worthy of
No sports bar will offer Moran Norris' brother any solace Saturday. No amount of perusing through the TV Guide will change the fact that the Kansas football team is a pilot episode.
But as Kansas has struggled and given the impression of an unthreatening, unranked team, the 2-1 Jayhawks have warded off television honchos who set the Big 12 Conference television schedule. Those who want to stay in Lawrence and catch a score will have to watch another game and wait for the ticker — the blurb that runs across the bottom of television screens during broadcasts.
"My brother normally goes to one of the local bars, or somewhere with a satellite dish. to watch me play," said Norris, Kansas' senior running back. "I wish he could do that for this game."
See PLAYERS on page GA
It's had three auditions so far, but getting on the TV line-up is tough.
"We know we're not on TV, but we can't worry about that," said Kansas senior safety Carl Neismith. "We just want to give a good performance so that when people are watching other games looking for our score, hopefully we'll be giving a them a good game."
Kansas will not be on the tube for Saturday's 2 p.m. game at Oklahoma, and those who make the schedules have booted the idea of showing Kansas anytime soon. Despite a respectable showing against Nebraska on Fox Sports Net last year, that moment did not carry over to excite potential networks this year, to the dismay of Athletics Director Bob Frederick.
When Kansas plays at Oklahoma, the Norris clan, just like everyone else who is not in Norman, will be forced to watch another football game.
"I thought it might help," Frederick said of last year's 24-17 nail-biter against Nebraska. "But for our fans' sake, I wish Kansas / Kansas State was picked up."
While the Sunflower Showdown may intrigue local viewers, it would carry little weight nationally compared with what else the Big 12 has to offer that day. Texas-Oklahoma, a traditional ABC telecast, will be shown instead. No. 1 Nebraska against Iowa State will follow.
Canadian midfielder proves to be intense competitor
By Yoshitaka Ebisawa sports@kansan.com Kansan.sportswriter
She didn't stop running.
During a preseason exhibition match against Baker University Aug. 19, freshman forward Maggie Mason received an illegal tackle from a Baker defender and was pulled down to the ground. A while later, she got up with an injured knee and limped off the field.
But as soon as she crossed the sideline, Mason started running along the field instead of resting on the bench.
Even without the fear, she wouldn't have stopped running.
"I figured if I stopped running, then it'll seize up," Mason said. "So I kept running, not to let it cool down."
Mason, an Elmira, Ontario, native, is a midfielder on the Kansas women's soccer team. Regardless of whether it's a game or a practice, she moves almost perpetually, covering a lot of space in the midfield.
"I like working with players that work hard for each other
and work hard all the time on the field regardless of the score," she said. "I always try to run hard. That's always been my philosophy."
Kansas coach Mark Francis said Mason was an intense competitor.
"Even if things are not going well for Maggie, she still gives 100 percent," Francis said. "She gets in, knocks people around, and is not afraid to get stuck in. I think that can be contagious for the other players."
Her philosophy was developed during her childhood. Mason's parents, particularly her father, taught her to set a goal and work hard to achieve it, she said.
"If people missed the ball and gave up, we both had that attitude that we got angry." Mason said.
She launched her soccer career when she was 3 years old and played on a boy's team from ages 9 to 16 as a goalie. Even against bigger and quicker male foes, she wasn't intimidated. Instead, she tried to prove that a girl could play by making fine saves and shuting
out opponents.
"I've always been a competitor," she said. "But it's never been much competition because the town I came from is so small."
Looking for a higher level of competition, she joined a girls' team in a bigger city at age 16 and switched positions from goale to forward.
But because of Kansas coach Mark Francis' enthusiasm and her desire to compete at the college level, Mason decided to come to Kansas.
"The coaches are amazing," the 5-foot-four midfielder said. "We get along. We understand. If I'm having a bad day, they know how to push me to work harder. I'm having a great time this season. The team's working together a lot more. I really
Her quest for competitions continued. She played on a club team, and led the team to the national championship in 1999. After graduating from Elmira District Secondary School, Mason played with the Toronto Inferno in the semi-professional women league in Canada earlier this summer.
like the decision I made."
Mason's next goal is to play on Canada's women's national team.
She tasted at least a part of it this summer when she trained with the Canadian national team for three days before a friendly match with the United States on Aug. 20 in Kansas City, Mo.
She said playing with the talented players, as well as being trained by Neil Turnball, the head coach who led Norway to compete in the World Cup, was a great experience.
Mason said she would like to compete in the 2002 Olympics in Greece as a representative of her home country.
"He just has so much knowledge of the game," she said. "It's something that Canadians have never really seen before."
Until then, the hard-working Canadian won't stop running toward the goal.
"But I have to step up my
girl," she said. "I have so
much to learn before I can
make that team."

Recruits reluctant in deciding which college teams to join
By Michael Riaa
Kansan sportswriter
sports@kansan.com
After years of recruiting and visits from the top college coaches in America, Jamal Sampson has decided his top two college choices are ... California-Berkeley and St. Louis?
Sampson, a 6-foot-11 center from Santa Ana, Calif., told Dave Telep of Rivals100hoops.com that the two schools had moved ahead of the University of Kansas.
"Right now, it's probably California and Saint Louis," Sampson said.
Sampson told the Web site that although he liked Kansas, he was concerned with the number of post players in the Jayhawk program — even though Kansas will be without a true center when Eric Chenowith departs after this season.
The report stated that Sampson had dropped Connecticut from his list just two weeks after visiting the UConn campus.
He has a visit this weekend at Saint Louis and will head to Kansas for Late Night with Roy Williams Friday, Oct. 13.
Another west coast Kansas recruit — 6-foot point guard Aaron Miles of Portland, Ore. — doesn't seem close to making a decision either.
Miles visited Oregon last weekend, but still is considering Arizona, Kansas and UCLA.
"It's back and forth. It's a different school all the time."

"It's back and forth," Miles told Telep. "It's a different school all the time."
Miles said he enjoyed his visit to Oregon and admitted that the distance from home could play a factor in his decision.
"I think about that a lot." Miles said.
"While the Sampson and Miles doors
inch closer to closing, another door is creeping open. Keith Langford, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Crowley, Tex., said Kansas had joined his list of college possibilities.
Langford gave a verbal commitment to Mississippi in June, but said his commitment was no longer firm. He now is looking at Oklahoma and Kansas.
"The last month I was kind of thinking some things over, and some schools got interested that I didn't think would get interested," Langford said. "Oklahoma has offered (a scholarship) and Kansas would offer if I recant."

Golf team wins Kansas Invitational; seven 'Hawks finish within top 10 places
By Karen Donnelly sports@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
Monday's rounds of 296 and 280 followed by Tuesday's rounds of 280 and 285 enabled the Jayhawks to finish the best of the 13 teams. The team scored 3 under par, which showed much improvement from last week.
Trenching through the wet greens, the Kansas men's golf team built a 31-stroke victory against Missouri and placed seven Jayhawks in the top 10 of the Kansas Invitational. Kansas won the two-day, 54-hole Invitational Tuesday at Alvamar Golf Club.
"The team has a theory," said sophomore Chris Marshall. "Why go to a tournament if you're not going to win?"
Marshall placed second, followed by senior Andy Stewart who placed fourth, senior Conrad Roberts who finished sixth and junior Casey Harbour who placed seventh. A three-way tie for ninth place added three more Jayhawks — freshman Travis Hurst, senior Jim Gates and freshman Tyler Hall, who made his freshman debut.
The par-72 Alvamar Golf Club gave Kansas the home-course advantage. The damp grounds, however, made golf a little more difficult for the men.
"Weather was fair to good, but the course played long and hard because it was so wet," Marshall said.
Although the morning felt cold and damp, the afternoon turned warmer and gave the golfers a perfect fall tournament, said coach Ross Randall.
"I was very pleased with the overall steadiness of the team," Randall said. "We have a lot of depth, which will help us a lot."
the next tournament for the Jayhawks will be the Purina Missouri Bluffs Classic Oct. 9 to 10 in St. Charles, Mo. Last year, the men's golf team won the 17-team tournament.
With three tournaments down, the men's golf team will take a break until its last two tournaments of the fall season.
The team's final tournament will be the Nelson-Stanford Invitational Oct. 27-29 in California.

So when the Jayhawks, who lost the first game 15-8, rallied for a 15-1 secondgame win, the Bears knew they didn't want another case of deja vu.
Kansas, 11-3 and 2-3, fell to the Bears in the third game, 15-6, but then edged out a fourth-game squeaker. 17-15. That ushered in the need for a fifth game.
Baylor, 8-5 overall and 2-3 in the Big 12 Conference, had lost its previous two matches against Texas and Missouri when play extended into five games.
The fifth game is played with rally scoring, in which the team that makes the kill or causes the opponent's error records the point, no matter who is serving. The Jayhawks, who won their only five-game match of the season Sept. 13 against Colorado, fell to the Bears. 15-8.
The Baylor Bears defeated the Kansas volleyball team last night at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas. 3-2.
Although the Jayhawks lost the match, the game-two win gave them their first victory at the Ferrell Center since 1997.
Volleyball team falls to Baylor in extended play
The 15-1 Kansas victory in game two also proved to be Baylor's worst loss since dropping a 15-0 decision in 1998 against 16th-ranked Arkansas.
Kansas will face another Big 12 foe at 7 p.m. Saturday when Texas Tech comes to the Horejsi Family Athletic Center.

Harvest of Arts festival highlights work of thriving artistic community

A t no time is the Lawrence arts culture more visible than in the first two weeks of October, when local and regional artists
step into the brisk fall air to share the fruits of their labor with the community.
If someone really wants to know what Lawrence is about, they have to come to Harvest of the Arts," said Lissa Probus, festival organizer. "Lawrence's creativity is the cohesive strain, which separates us from other Kansas towns."
In its ninth year, Harvest of Arts is a grass-roots festival organized to highlight the work of Lawrence's thriving creative community. The festival runs from Saturday. Sept. 30 to Oct. 8.
During the nine-day festival, 25 separate events showcase work by visual, literary and performing artists. Painters, sculptors and photographers will be offering their work for sale in local parks both weekends.
More Information
For a schedule of events from the Ninth
Annual Lawrence Arts Center, see
www.lawrence.com
Katharine Sytsma, Chicago sophomore, is one of about 50 artists expected to show their work. She said she drew her artistic influence from Picasso and Salvador Dali.
"It is very cool to see all the artists get together and work to get their names out," Sytma said.
She said that many people who showed their work at Harvest of Arts otherwise would not receive recognition and that she enjoyed the friendly community nature of the festival.
As a nonprofit event, Harvest of Arts was founded to improve the community through appreciation of the arts, Probus said. The festival, which is run entirely by volunteers, also will feature several concerts—including a performance
by Torrie Jones, Lawrence junior.
Jones will perform original, keyboard-based jazz as a part of the music showcase at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., on Wednesday, Oct. 4. Singer-songwriters, ragtime performers and jazz musicians also will be featured.
"People can expect to see a very eclectic array of musical events beyond what you could ordinarily see at one venue on a given night," said Michael Pauli, coordinator and Lawrence resident.
All Harvest of Arts events are free. Probus said Harvest of Arts events were wonderful ways for KU students to get to know their community outside of the University.
With nine days and 25 events, Harvest of Arts is certain to have something for everyone, Probus said.
"When else can you see so many talented artists and their work for free?" he said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 28).
A new and crazy idea you try could work. Do it with an imaginative and creative loved one, and your odds of success are greater. Jot down your plans in October. Figure out how much they'll cost in November. Something you learn in December could amaze you, but it's about time you found out. You and a loved one can win at a gamble in February. A risk you take in April is less likely to succeed. June's good for anything creative. Watch out for a reality check next September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Let somebody else do the driving, make the decisions and take on the responsibility. You don't need to be in control of this situation. Somebody else can do that quite well, so relax.
Taurus (April 20-Mav 20) — Todav is a 7.
13 (April 20-May 20) — today is a 7.
A lucky break could go in your favor. You may be able to provide what's needed on a moment's notice. Watch for the opportunity by paying attention to your supervisor, teacher or anybody else in a position of authority. Think ahead, and you could earn a reward
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
Follow through with a project that involves a foreigner, a foreign language or a college class. It should turn out quite well. Also, take a vow to keep your comments to yourself for the next few weeks. Dispense information on a "need to know" basis.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
You should feel better and come up with lots of new ideas. You should communicating with a loved one is easier, too. Sometimes you're stuck for the right words, but that's less likely to be the case for the next few weeks.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
July 25-Aug. 22) — TODAY is a 7.
You may run into difficulties you hadn't predicted, but that's all part of the learning process. Don't stop; keep reading! You'll get better at a new skill with practice, too. You're going from the theoretical to the tangible, and that's sometimes awkward. Don't give up.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 9.
Worries about money could fade, as you continue to rake it in. Don't stop to count it until the game's over, which might not be until this weekend. Finish something you've started, and the rewards may be greater than expected. It's still a lot of work, though
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
You may have overcome a big obstacle. All you have to do is finish something you've started, and the prize is within your grasp. You might rather play with somebody you love, so even a simple task could seem bothersome. It won't take long.
You're smart and cute. This gives you an advantage, with a rather demanding person. Instead of feeling stressed, act like you know something the other person would find interesting. That may be the case, too. And the other person may be willing to trade.
Sugmaris (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8.
You are always interested in learning, and today you could get a good chance. A friend of yours could open the door to a whole new area for you. You ought to keep the discussions to a minimum. Practice instead.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Todav is a 7.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
Watch for a job that nobody else wants. A friend might let you know about a good one. If you're in business, this may cost you a little, but it's a good investment. If you're an employee, accept less money to start. It could turn into more than you expected.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
If you've already made the commitment, congratulations. If not, it may almost be too late. Hurry, or it could cost you more than you bargained for.
Follow through on a done deal. Don't take off in a new direction.

Law firm sends fake
grenades, scares clients
SAN JOSE, Calif. — On second thought, it might not have been so bright for a law firm to send 600 packages containing fake hand grenades to would-be clients.
The Los Angeles firm of Quinn Emanuel is now apologizing for a promotion that was so explosive it prompted two bomb scares in Silicon Valley.
Puzzled bomb squares are wondering just what the lawyers had in mind. It can be against the law to mail such items.
Because the intent was not malicious, the U.S. Postal Service said it would not pursue action.
The firm wanted to send the message that business is war. Trouble is, office workers took the fake grenades to be real.
Bread destruction reign ends with man on trial
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. — A man accused of causing three years of bakery aisle mayhem has gone on trial for squeezing bread loaves and crushing cookies.
Jurors were told yesterday that Samuel G. Feldman, 37, damaged 175 bags of bagels, 227 bags of potato dinner rolls and 3,087 bags of sliced bread in his reign of baked-goods destruction.
Feldman, 37, was arrested in January and charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. Feldman has pleaded not guilty. He faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
Gibney said handprints and finger marks were found on $7,100 worth of his merchandise at the Giant Food market in Yardley.
Infant's driver's license could be suspended
FREDERICK, Md. — Marcos W. Vargas can barely walk but he's already in trouble with the Motor Vehicle Administration.
A letter was mailed to Marcos shortly after his first birthday Sept. 10 notifying him that his failure to appear in traffic court could result in suspension of his license unless he paid a $340 fine.
Marcos' parents had obtained the boy's state identification card when he was 4 months old.
When a man cited for driving without a license gave the name Marcos Vargas to police, police ran a check and retrieved the infant's state ID information, said JoAnn Fleishel, assistant manager of the MVA branch office.
Citations were then issued to the boy for driving without a license and without vehicle registration.
Fleshell said the mistake would be corrected.
State rules new toilets not handicap accessible
The Architectural Access Board has denied the city permission to use the public toilets, which cost $250,000 each and are self-cleaning. The city plans to appeal the decision.
BOSTON — A state board has flushed plans to install fancy public toilets on the streets of Boston because they are not fully accessible to the handicapped.
The toiletts feature computerized plumbing, automatic doors and touchpad controls and were designed by Wall USA. The city was planning to install between six and eight toiletts around the city.
City officials said they featured a swiveling seat, which the company said handicapped patrons could use more
easily and safely than a stationary seat.
WWII veterans finally get to dance at prom
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Nearly 60 years after they left high school early to serve their country, a group of World War II veterans finally got to build their room.
About 100 World War II veterans and their spouses turned up for the ceremony in Milton, Fl., which was a graduation, class office elections and senior prom all rolled into one.
A recent decision granted missing high school diplomas to all honorably discharged veterans inducted into the service between Sept. 16, 1940, and Dec. 31, 1946.
Man holds onto truck for days to win contest
Try standing next to the truck with at least one hand flat on any part of its body — no leaning allowed — for several days.
That's the object of the annual "Hands on a Hardbody" contest, where about two dozen people set out last Tuesday to outlast all the others.
LONGVIEW, Texas — What would you do to win a pickup truck and boat?
Houston resident Warren Heame — who calls himself "The Shark" — beat out two final competitors Sunday with a record-breaking 126 hours and 46 minutes of excruciating pain and endurance.
The previous record, set last year, for the self-inflicted torture was 107 hours. All three of the final survivors broke that.
Vulture makes home at Nebraska golf course
LINCOLN, Neb. — Golf enthusiasts are well aware of a Tiger stalking the
Oddities
nation's courses. But a vulture?
One recently took up residence at the North Forty Golf Course. It was big and ugly, according to witnesses, with wide wings, a hunched back and small, darting eyes.
It invited itself to sit in tee boxes and roosted on Callaway drivers resting in golf bags.
Course regulars came to expect the winged visitor when they arrived for a round. The vulture made itself at home on the nine-hole course for several weeks this summer.
Bird experts say the vulture probably has flown south for the winter.
Historical monument gets accurate plaque
DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. — Few might care when an old inscription on a George Washington monument here gets replaced. Historians, however, will be cheering.
"No one will have to look at those falsehoods again," said Robert Stackpole, president of the New York chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.
Over the weekend, the Dobbs Ferry Historical Society and Stackpole's group agreed to cover inaccurate information on the monument with a bronze plaque that is more historically accurate.
The new plaque will say simply that the French joined the Americans at nearby Philipsburg in August 1781 after a 19-day march.
All it claims for Dobbs Ferry is that one month earlier, Washington had "ordered the building of two artillery batteries and a redought."
"Maybe it's not much, but it's true," Stackpole said.

Gatecrasher breaks through at the Granada
By Derek John
writer@kansan.com
Kansas music reviewer
When it was announced that the Gatecrasher Global Sound System would be coming to the Granada Tuesday night and that I would be covering it for the Kansan, this normally sure-footed critic was a bit apprehensive at first. Granted, I'd been becoming better acquainted with electronica music and its many offshoots ever since the Trainspotting soundtrack was released a few years back, but in going to this show, I felt as though I was entering uncharted territory.
I did, however, have the good fortune of being in the company of some close friends who also doubled as experts in the genre of electronica.
Walking along Massachusetts Street Tuesday night, the crisp, cool air of early fall shivered our timbers, and we worried that we might be a bit stiff by the time we hit the Granada dance floor. Our fears were unfounded.
It was evident from the moment we skirted past the subdued Aqua Lounge and headed toward the front stage that we would have no choice but to loosen up, as the music relentlessly called our feet to action. My friends, who were more familiar with the rave culture than myself, gleefully hopped, skipped and jumped into the fray. In my attempt to effect the detached calm of an objective critic on an official assignment, I managed to resist for the moment and took a seat in one of the plush booths that lined the outer rim of the Granada's upper tier.
It was from this vantage point
that I was first able to genuinely appreciate the unique aesthetic that Gatecrasher wanted to achieve.
Taut, purple, wedge-shaped draperies adorned the outer edge of the stage and were graced by luminous projections of the Gatecrasher logo — a medieval-looking lion crest. Two large screens were set up on either side of the disc jockeys and contained a melange of futuristic symbols, cyber graphics and a rapid succession of seemingly random messages such as "Sex," "Plastic," "Moist" and "Deviant" that flashed onto the screen in sync with the beats. The accompanying laserlight show was a mesmerizing part of the Gatecrasher experience that appeared to push the Granada's inhouse equipment to the limit.
Eventually the music stirred my hooligan juices to a boiling point, and I couldn't resist the pulsating bass, slippery cymbals and skittering snare lines that composed the ever-changing beat. In the past, I had found this type of house music to be monotonous at times. But the vibe-sensitive antennae of the DJs, combined with their tacit turntable expertise, complemented the moodiness above the rhythm.
Where before I was simply a fool to ever think that I could dance, by night's end the hypnotic music had turned me into a reputable dancing fool. I had by no means mastered the raver's trademark dance — an excursion into the slippery side of things where liquid movement and mirror image challenge the body's joints and ligaments in a way that hip-hop's popping never could but the inviting music seemed to
give license to just about any dance form.
Because of its continued acclaim, Gatecraser had set out to bring its highly successful club formula to the States. Amazingly, Lawrence was included in a small group of very large cities that were fortunate enough hear Gatecraser and its top-notch DJs. Although according to the Gatecraser Web site and other paraphernalia at the show, the Granada apparently was assumed to be a club in Kansas City. Thankfully, it isn't.
For the Global Sound System's visit to Lawrence, DJ Heaven and Ashley Casselle had made the trip in representing Gatecrasher — a consortium of accomplished club DJs who have made a name for themselves in the popular club scene of London and other European techno music strongholds.
My comrades lamented that there weren't more people there for the DJs to feed off of. I would agree that the crowd was a bit sparse, but those who did turn out were awfully zealous for a school night. Calling the show a beautiful exhibition of progressive jungle-house trance, one friend confirmed that he had witnessed some of the best live electronica of his life. He was only sorry it couldn't have lasted until the wee hours of the morning like standard underground raves.
MADISON
Sauntering out of the club in time with the house beat but drenched with perspiration, I wasn't sure I could exactly agree with that last point. But if it ever comes to town again, i vowed that I would be at the front of the queue waiting to crash down the gate to get inside the club.

Jurassic 5 Quality Control
Throw in four talented rappers, two innovative DJs, a barrage of funky rhythms and you've got one tasty recipe for hip-hop.
Quality, indeed. While rap acts such as DMX and Dr. Dre feature strong lyrics but rely on dark melodies and heats. DJ Nu-Mark
Even though there's six of them, the members of Jurassic 5 know what ingredients it takes to generate some of the freshest hip-hop to emerge from the increasingly watered-down genre. The band's second release, Quality Control, is strong evidence of that.
and Cut Chemist lay down some up b e a t m u s i c. Complement those with the acrobatic vrical abilities of Marc Se7en, Akil, Chali2na and Zakair, and Quality Control becomes a disc that's difficult to put on pause.
WALKING
FIRE RIVER
There's more than meets the ear, though. The rappers unleash a barrage of intelligent lyrics on songs such as "World of Entertainment (Woe is Me)," "Great Expectations" and the album's title track. It's refreshing, to say the least.
Missing out on Quality Control is a giant mistake. Still not convinced? Check out the band with Dilated Peoples and The World Famous Beat Junkies at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Granada.
Loyal listeners in Emporia miss clear transmission of KANU

Originality ●●●●●●
Instrumentation ●●●●○)
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The mix of news, music and special programs on KANU-FM was music to the ears of Emporia resident Herb Wyrick for years.
He and his wife, Sarah, listened to the public radio station every day in their vehicles and at home.
But on July 27, the Federal
Communications Commission pulled the plug on the Lawrence-based station's 90:5 FM translator in Emporia because of interference with a new station at 90.7. KANU had broadcast in Emporia since 1986.
"We like the news, music and the lack of commercials," he said. "We
Wyrick said before the translator was shut down, he and his wife seldom listened to anything else.
just like the whole shebang."
Janet Campbell, general manager of KANU, said the station applied about
Some days, snatches of the Lawrence station still can be heard at 91.5 FM, but not often enough, leaving Emporians searching for other options on the dial.
"For the people who listened, it's been very negative." Wyrick said. "There's just our local AM station for news and weather."
one and a half years ago for a license to broadcast permanently out of Emporia at 89.7 FM. Another group known as Bible Broadcasting also has an application pending for the same frequency. The FCC has not indicated when it will resolve the issue.
Until then, KANU is broadcasting on cable channel 8 in Emporia under a special arrangement with Emporia State University. Channel 8, which broadcasts a news scroll,
had always used KANU as background music. But after the translator was shut down, KANU'S antenna was moved to the top of Visser Hall on the Emporia State campus, so the station could reach the city in some form. Campbell said.
"It's been very good," Campbell said. "But there are still a lot of frustrated people who can't listen in their car."
Campbell said the new translator that KANU applied for would be a full-power station at 3,000 watts and give the station a 30-mile broadcasting radius from Emporia.
Until then, listeners wait for the FCC to decide who will get the station at 89.7.
"We're glad it's on cable," Wyrick said. "But we want it back, and we need to have a translator." — Edited by Waraisa Chulindra

The once-abandoned sound of modern rock in northeast Kansas has been refreshed, as the music of groups such as Everclear, Dave Matthews Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Counting Crows rides the airwaves again.
Modern rock makes local comeback
Special to the Kansan
The newest addition to FM radio is 96.5 FM. The Buzz, and listeners have been checking it out since the radio station officially was launched after Labor Day weekend.
"I listen to the station a lot, but I think they play too much R.E.M."
said Mike Pugh, St. Louis senior.
"But that's it. I know it just started,
and I think it sounds good so far."
The disc jockeys offer a simple explanation.
"We're playing music for 18 to 34-year-old men and women to listen to," said the afternoon DJ know simply as Todd. "And there's no crapy boy bands."
Nor is there Bach, Mozart and other classical musicians that used to dominate the station prior to the programming overhaul, which upsets some listeners.
"To patrons and supporters, this is a big loss," said Toni Montgomery, a big of
Fine Arts at the University of Kansas.
Montgomery said a jazz radio station in Kansas City had added three hours of classical music a day to its play list to counter complaints from listeners who preferred the previous format.
"People have written letters to the editor at the Kansas City Star about it, and I've talked to administrators about taping the (Murphy Hall and Lied Center) concerts and broadcasting them on a radio station somewhere," Montgomery said.
She said she directed classical music fans to University-owned KANU 91.5 FM which still plays some classical music.

Stop-motion film breaks new ground
By Lindsey Kiliany Special to the Kansan
Two University of Kansas students are breaking new ground in stop-motion animation.
Nicholas Kral, Minneapolis senior, and Marshall Miller, 1999 alumnus, are creating a stopmotion animation film, The Emperor's New Clothes, based on the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale.
A $1,100 undergraduate research award allowed Kral and Miller, with the help of other students and faculty, to create new software that eased the production animation similar to that done for the movie Chicken Run and the television version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Kral said the 10-minute animated short combined metal skeletons, movable body parts, hands-on work and a lot of time. He said that stop-motion animation traditionally was created frame-by-frame, with 15 minutes to an hour of work between each frame being shot. He estimated that an average 90-minute movie with 24 frames per second would have about 130,000 frames.
To cut down on time, Kral, a computer science and theater and film major, created computer software in which images taken with a digital camera could be viewed, stored and manipulated on a computer almost immediately.
The "Animation" and "Integrator" software also enables Kral to add lip-synching and eye movement after the production. In Chicken Run, the chickens' lips had to be moved manually for every shot.
Kral said he was not trying to
revolutionize stop-motion animation, he just wanted to save time.
"In the past, five minutes of animation took about three years for students to produce," he said. "It's very ambitious for students to tackle stop-animation. Chicken Run had 30 animators — we had two."
Production of the 10-minute animated video began last December and should be completed in a couple months, Kral said. He is working on the computer doing post-production work.
Miller was head animator and set designer for the film. He said he created most of the large, medieval set using cardboard boxes. His mother painted the entire set, down to the bricks of the castle, he said.
"They managed to pull all of this advanced technology in the service of art," Jacobson said. "This is the type of research and forward thinking that KU needs to emphasize and reward."
Matt Jacobson, project adviser and assistant professor of theater and film, said the film and its combination of art and technology truly was ground breaking.
"The best place for the software is the universities," he said. "It gives students the chance to shoot."
Scenes from The Emperors New Clothes can be viewed online at http://users.eecs.ukans.edu/~nkral.
Kral and Miller said they hoped they have sparked a creative fire under other film students. Kral said he would leave his software at the University for other filmmakers.

Baseball game offers thrills on Playstation
By Michael Sudhalter
Video game critic
Triple Play 2001 on the Sony Playstation system is a game with outstanding graphics and an endless array of game features.
Video game enthusiasts have the options of playing a single game, a season of 15, 30, 60, or 162 games, or jumping right into the playoff chase.
PLAY STATION
TRIPLE PLAY
2017
TP 2001 is definitely a game that accommodates both the intense baseball fan and the passive afficionado as well.
While this feature might be the most exciting part for kids and those not familiar with baseball, TP 2001 offers team management for those baseball nuts out there.
These baseball enthusiasts can make trades, create new players, and sign new players. They also have the option of reordering their rosters and pitching rotations.
The game, which includes all of the MLB players from 2000 beginning rosters, features an Extreme home run derby contest. In this part of TP 2001, five stadiums (including the glitter Las Vegas one), a construction site, a 13th Century Castle, and a miniaturized indoor living room are all fully equipped with targets.
Players also have the option of putting today's stars, such as Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire, against Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and many others.
One feature that makes the game appealing is a home run derby, where players get the choice of one, three, five or nine inning games.
Any way you look at it, *Triple Play 2001* is a home run for all types of Playstation fans.
— Edited by Clay McCusinion
In a traditional home run derby setting, TP 2001 has all the authentic features of a Major League ballpark and Cashman Field, Las Vegas, the original site of the home run derby contest.

History comes alive on the Internet
History and the Internet make strange bedfellows. Documents monks scratched out in quill by candlelight now shoot around the globe in seconds to continents the monks couldn't have imagined. I think those monks would have been very upset if they had known a Xerox machine would be invented in a few centuries.
Now you can access all kinds of old documents online — Greek tragedies, papal decrees and even the first newspaper published in the North American colonies.
The History Virtual Library may be on the Kansas server, but it's maintained by dozens of people worldwide. The collections of links about various subjects and countries probably are the most comprehensive on the Web. I'm working on a list of journalism history links for this page for a class, but I promise I'm not just putting it up here to suck up. Many other history-link pages online borrow from this directory.
www.ukans.edu/history/VL/
www
collecting links. It's a collection of articles and illustrations from Harper's Weekly, one of the best news magazines of the second half of the 1800s. It has woodcutings of the Civil War and most presidential candidates from that era. Not all of the content is free, but there's enough to make the site very useful.
www.harpweek.com
This is one site I've looked at a lot while
This site has some good resources, but it has the same problem as the History Channel. There is more to history than large explosions and massacres and some guy screaming "Oh, the humanity!". This site is war, death — and then a little more war. Although www.historychannel.com is a solid site, it's a little shallow on content. It has about 17 different "This Day in History" categories, though, so for random facts, it's a good source.
www.thehistorynet.com
Speaking of the guy who screams "Oh, the humanity," you can find a lot of old audio clips online. This site includes clips of Amelia Earlhart, P.T. Barnum, Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr. and
www.historybuff.com/realsaudio/
Wandering the Web

webeditor@kansan.com
John F. Kennedy, as well as the crash of the Hindenberg, World War II, the Lindbergh kidnapping and the moon landing.
www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/History_n2/a.html
I really, really hate sites with frames, but this site makes frames work. It's structured around a time line of world history, similar to those really big ones on high school classroom walls. Throughout the time line are links to small articles, but the real candy is the dozens of maps.
www.newseum.com/cybernewseum/
This site probably is the most technologically advanced of the pages I looked at. It's rooted in journalism, but anyone interested in the history of the 20th century can get a lot out of it. There's plenty of video in the section about the fall of the Berlin Wall, and photo essays of Pulitzer Prize winning pictures and Stalin's historical revisionism through photo editing are compelling. A look back at 1999 through the eyes of political cartoonist and Pulitzer Prize winner David Horsey, complete with audio files, is hilarious.
Two other high-end sites are the virtual Smithsonian Institution at 2k.si.edu and the PBS history site at www.pbs.org/neighborhoods/history/. The Virtual Smithsonian has more sparkle but less content than the PBS site. One highlight of the PBS site is a project on Napoleon, including a brief game that lets you re- enact Waterloo.
A great thing about all three of these sites is that the all have low-end versions, so you don't have to have Ethernet to enjoy them.

Abortion drug approved
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A pill that induces abortion was approved yesterday by the Food and Drug Administration, and while some students applaud the decision, others say it's a step in the wrong direction.
The FDA approved mifepristone, also known as RU-486. According to the FDA, the drug, which is used within 49 days of conception, terminates a pregnancy by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for a pregnancy to continue.
The pill, known by the brand name Mifeprex, will be available to doctors within a month.
The health center does not have the proper ultrasound equipment to ensure that a pregnancy is early enough, which is a main requirement for mifepristone providers. Also, Rock said, Watkins does not have the capacity to provide surgical procedures that might be necessary to complete the abortion.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Medical Center, said despite the legalization of the pill, there were no plans to provide the drug at Watkins.
Although the abortion pills will not be supplied at Watkins, opinions on campus are split about the FDA's decision.
Sally Puleo, coordinator for KU Pro- Choice Coalition, said legalizing the drug was a step in the right direction for abortion accessibility.
RU-486: THE ABORTION PILL
Mifeprex, the brand name of the pill known chemically as Mifepristone, will be available to doctors within a month.
The drug can be used within 49 days of conception and terminates a pregnancy by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for a pregnancy to continue.
"It's about time," she said. "Europe has had it for about 10 years. It's sad that it took this long to get around the politics for something that's so beneficial for so many people."
Puleo said she didn't think the pill's availability would significantly increase abortions, but said it would offer more privacy for women who wanted abortions.
"I think the main benefit is for the women who would have to drive a hundred miles for an abortion, only to be harassed outside the clinic," Puleo said.
Scott Wallisch, co-chairman of KU Students for Life, said the FDA's decision was dangerous and that it likely would increase the number of abortions performed.
“It's been approved for use up to 49 days after the last menstrual cycle, and by then you could have a baby with a beating heart that's being aborted.” Wallisch said.
Rock said that although the health center would not provide mifepristone, it would likely provide information about the drug.
"I see our role as that of informing people of their options," he said.

Rosh Hashana begins tonight at sundown
CITY OF BROOKLYN
BROOKLYN MASSACHUSETTS
By Leita Schultes
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
For Jewish students, sundown tonight marks the beginning of Rosh Hashana and a new year. But unlike Jan. 1, which is often thought of as a day to party, the event is a time for solemn contemplation.
"Services are sort of a formalized time for asking forgiveness," said Sue Shafer-Landau, adviser for Hillel, a Jewish student organization on campus. "What you're hoping for is you'll be written into the book for next year."
Andrew Zidel, Minneapolis,
Minn., senior, said that many students would go home to spend the holiday with their families, but that he was planning to stay in Lawrence to help with religious services.
Shafer-Landau said there would be services at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Lawrence Jewish Community Center. Private buses, provided by Hillel, will leave Naismith Hall at 7 p.m., and will also pick up students on Daisy Hill and at Grace Sellars Pearson-Corbin Hall. There will also be services at 9:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, with buses leaving campus at 9, she said.
Zidel said that Rosh Hashana was Hebrew for "Head of the Year," and that the services would be traditional.
A member of the congregation will blow a shofar, or ram's horn, the traditional call to worship, to begin services, he said. Challah breed, which is usually brashed, will instead be shaped like a circle to represent God's eternity.
Members of the congregation also eat apples and honey on Rosh Hashana to symbolize a "sweet" new year, Zidel said, and they greet one other with the words L'Shanah Tovah — Have a good year.
The celebration marks the end of a month of self-reflection; and is the precursor to Yom Kippur, which is Hebrew for "Day of Atonement."

Med Center, state should survive Menninger exit
By BritAnne Hess writer@kansan.com
Kansas senior staff writer
The Menninger mental health center rejected an offer of nearly $100 million in incentives and a partnership with the University of Kansas Medical Center, but that shouldn't have an impact on the Med Center, the executive vice chancellor of the Med Center said.
Even without the new programs Menninger would have offered, Hagen said the Med Center still was improving its neurosciences branch and had developed programs to expand brain research. It is also offering a new doctorate degree and plans to add brain imaging and research to its neurosciences program.
"We'd hoped they would stay in Kansas but we understand," said Donald Hagen, executive vice chancellor of the Med Center. "Texas put up what looks like an impressive cash incentive. The question is does that affect us — and the answer is no."
"It would have fit nicely with what we were doing so we worked very diligently with other partners — the governor's office and the state — and made a bid for it."
Hagen said the Med Center was already thinking of those advances when Menniger approached the center.
Meninger, which is based in Topeka, announced Wednesday that it had set up a partnership with the Baylor College of Medicine and Methodist Health Care System in Houston for a reported $200 million — a price tag that Kansas could not afford.
"The most lasting resonance will be its impact on mental health care in northeast Kansas," Brown said. "I don't think financially that any entity in Kansas could have matched the offer from Baylor that I heard was almost $200 million — nearly double what we offered. We're not second-guessing ourselves. We did what we could."
Don Brown, communications director for Gov. Bill Graves, said the state was concerned about the loss of Menninger on several levels, including the center's 1,200 jobs and the 1,000 or more families who could move to Houston.
But Brown said the brain research facilities in Houston already were built, whereas the Med Center had none. The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas also offered Menninger a bld, which Brown said was less than Kansas' offer.
Brown said Menninger did not know how much of a clinical presence it would leave in Toneka.
According to a press release on Manninger's Web site, it planned
"The cultures of the three institutions are compatible," said Walter Menninger, psychiatrist, chief executive officer and president of Menninger, in a written statement. "We are being welcomed into a community of international medical institutions. Expect great things to come from this alliance."
to establish a national center for specialty psychiatric services for the mentally ill and to create a new brain and behavior research institute with Baylor.
A final agreement among Menninger, Baylor and Methodist is expected in February, and programs should be moved to Houston by 2002. Menninger will operate in Topeka until its move to Houston is final.
"We were fortunate that several institutions sought out Menninger to explore mutual opportunities," Menninger said in a written statement. "The work has been intense and exhaustive. We are convinced we have made the right choice of partners in Baylor College of Medicine and Methodist Health Care System."
Menninger said the decision to relocate was not easy. For the past two years, potential alliances with other institutions, such as the one with the Med Center had been discussed.

Comedian entertains at Lied Center
By Meghan Bainum
Kanson staff writer
Steve Allen, inventor and original host of The Tonight Show, sang, joked and played his way into the hearts of young and old last night at the Lied Center.
Though some of the approximately 1,000 people were there to see him for the first time, others had seen him for years on their television sets.
At times the Lied Center was filled with laughter, especially at the question an 11-year-old girl asked 78-year-old Allen on a note card which he read during his comedy routine.
"Who are you?" she asked.
Who are you? Are they asked
Allen might be a mystery to the Jay Leno generation, but to those who remember TV's "Golden Age," which Allen spoke of many times in his program, a better question was who Allen isn't.
He's definitely not boring.
But he is a comedian, songwriter, composer, singer, producer, conductor and political activist. Even those who had never seen Allen before, like Chicago senior Chris Haynie, were entertained.
Allen brought a different kind of entertainment to the Lied Center — one that often combined comedy and music. Many of his jokes centered around comparing this generation unfavorably to the "Golden" generations of the '20s, '30s, '40s and '50s. He poked fun at the Rolling Stones's song "Satisfaction" by reciting the lyrics in a deadpan voice.
"I like it," he said. "It's good to have something that's not modern and mainstream. It's kind of a bridge between generations. You can understand what people liked back then."
Allen then moved to the piano to show the audience his idea of real music. As he played through the jazz hits of yesteryear, Allen turned his head toward the audience to bring them into his performance.
"Listen to these harmonies," he said.
Larry Timmons and his wife, Margaret, drove from Emporia to hear Allen joke and play. Both remember watching Allen as The Tonight Show host.
At the end of Allen's last piano performance, which was done in the boogie-woogle style of musicians such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Timmons was smiling with delight.
"I love that music. It makes you want to get up and

dance." Timmons said. "Good dancing — not jumping around, hopping around — real dancing."
Haynie said Allen definitely was a legend. a vaudevillian holdover from times when jokes were cleaner and, as Allen would say, you could understand lyrics
and, as Allen says, you love to trip back even those of the most popular songs. That little trip back in time was the reason that some KU students came to see Allen.
"I've always been interested in stuff not from my generation," Jeff Lang, Ellinwood freshman said. "So being able to see a legend is kind of intriguing."

World musicians perform Brazilian, Indian music
A fusion concert Sunday night will bring together Brazilian jazz and classical music from India.
The concert, titled "Music Without Boundaries 2000," is at 6:30 p.m. in the Kansas City Convention Center Music Hall. It is sponsored by the India Association of Kansas City and Brazilian clubs in Kansas City and on campus. The University of Kansas Cultural India Club is promoting the event.
Giri Gokulrangan, president of the club and a graduate student from India, said world-renowned musicians would perform at the concert. He added that it would be the only performance of its kind in the Midwest.
Anil Misra, associate professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, said the two types of music fit well together. He said Indian music is based on Raag and, like jazz, builds upon a melody.
Tickets for the concert start at $10.

Spencer Museum offers free Renaissance concert
Visitors to the Spencer Museum of Art will have an opportunity to hear a free musical performance based on the Renaissance by the Spencer Consort at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
The performance, "French Dances for Court and Chamber," will feature works by German composers such as J.S. Bach and J.P. Telemann.
The group is a trio composed of Joy Laird; Paul Laird, associate professor of musicology; and John Boulton, professor of flute. Time-period instruments will be featured, including a harpsichord, two 18th-century flutes and a Baroque琴.
This fall the musicians chose to depict the French aristocratic way of life.
Laird hoped that visitors would take away a better understanding of the relation between art and music and how they fit together.

Student makes date-rape allegations; college suspends Chi Omega chapter
The Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A rape plot by two women against a fellow member of a Sam Houston State University sorority prompted the school to close the campus group for hazing, the alleged victim's mother told a newspaper.
The sorority sisters gave the student a date rape drug, then drove her to the apartment of a male friend who had sex with her, the mother told the Houston Chronicle in a story published yesterday.
The suspension of the Chi Omega chapter's charter was believed to be the first time a fraternal organization had been banned from the campus in Huntsville, 70 miles north of Houston, school spokesman Frank Krystyniak said.
The victim's mother said her daughter was targeted in February because sorority members had grown tired of hearing her talk about being a virgin.
"They wanted to make her like them," the mother, whose identity was withheld to protect her daughter, told the newspaper. "They kept saying, 'We're going to corrupt you — we're going to get you involved.'"
She said some sorority sisters began calling the freshman victim "Special K" after the attack in an apparent reference to the daterape drug Ketamine, which they allegedly
slipped into a drink Feb. 16.
The hallucinogenic drug has been connected nationwide to at least one death of a teen who mixed it with heroin. It has also been linked to numerous sexual assaults and thefts from veterinarians' offices and hospitals.
The victim rejected requests from sorority officials that she remain with the group after the reported attack. Instead she moved into a university dormitory and then transferred to another school after harassment by the campus group, the mother said.
"They screamed her off campus," she said, adding that the university was "whitewashing" her daughter's abuse by focusing on more minor hazing incidents.
Krystyniak said that a seven-month investigation into unspecified hazing incidents during the fall of 1999 revealed no documented physical injuries.
Phil Hall, an assistant district attorney in Walker County, said yesterday that the case had been no-billed by a grand jury in June and no longer was under criminal investigation.
Chi Omega National Organization, which oversees more than 170 collegiate chapters, assisted the university's investigation.
"Chi Omega seeks to foster mutual respect for all members," said Mary Ann Fruge, national president of Chi Omega. "Thus hazing has no place in Chi Omega. In addition, Chi Omega has found that the chapter failed to adhere to Chi Omega procedures."

Honor society may be scam. University officials say
By J.D. McKeen
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
University of Kansas honors students may be the targets of what one University official called a "highly suspicious" honors society.
In the past few weeks, five or six honors students have called the University Honors Program with questions about the legitimacy of the American Scholars National Honor Society, which has asked for a $50 membership fee, said Mark Neslitt-Daly, assistant director of the honors program.
"They're asking us if we've heard of it before or if it's worthwhile," he said. "We're telling them no on both."
Nebitb-Daly said he became suspicious of the organization after seeing fliers the company had mailed to students and viewing the Web site of the company, which is the only contact information the filer gives.
Though the Web site did list an e-mail address, the honor society did not respond to questions.
The Web page says that if a student agrees to the "Oath of Integrity" the company has written, no further verification of academic achievements is necessary.
Branden Bell, Tulsa, Okla,
sophomore, said after filling out an application online, he was accepted immediately and asked to send $50 to complete his enrollment.
"I didn't see any tangible benefit from joining other than putting this on my resume," Bell said. "And it didn't say where the $50 went."
Bell declined to pay.
Nesshit-Daly said he had informed the provost's office about the honors society and had sent out e-mails to honors students warning them about a possible scam.

KU ACT scores lag behind peer universities

Bv Jason Kraall
The University of Kansas has reported a larger enrollment increase than Kansas State for the first time in three years, although the University reports a slightly lower average ACT score than some of its peer universities.
KU's average ACT score for incoming freshman, 24.4, came in slightly lower than scores reported for two of its peer universities. Oklahoma reported an average score of 24.8, and the University of Iowa reported a score of 24.6. Peer universities are established by the Kansas Board of Regents based on total credit hours and expenditures at each university.
Emil Rinderspacher, associate director of admissions at Iowa, said the average score could be skewed.
"Some schools don't count students that are in certain special programs," he said. "It gets kind of
messv."
Kansas State is not expected to report its mean score until November. Last year, Kansas State freshmen had an average of 23.5 on the entrance test.
Missouri reports an average score of 25.8.
Kathryn Tuttle, director of KU's Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said admission to the University was open to anyone with a diploma from a Kansas high school, while peer universities had minimum GPA and ACT or SAT requirements for admission.
"As far as I know, we're still the only state in the country that still has that criteria," she said. "I think that it's a credit to the University that even with this open admissions policy our scores are this high."
KU's average rose about half a point from 24.04 last year. The national average for all students who took the test is 21.7.
But enrollment at KU is up 514 stu
dents from last year, more than any other university in the state. Kansas State's enrollment increased by 379, according to official enrollment counts taken on the 20th day of classes.
In fall 1999, Kansas State tallied the state's largest increase at 612, while the KU total jumped by just 251. However, the increases represented about two percent of the entire student body at each school.
Much of the growth at KU can be attributed to rising out-of-state enrollment. KU reported an increase of 283 out-of-state students, the largest of any state university in Kansas, compared to 231 in-state students.
KU's numbers reflect its efforts in recruiting out-of-state students, said Marvin Burris, director of fiscal affairs for the Kansas Board of Regents.
"KU has areas of the country, for example Illinois, where they do recruit out-of-state students fairly

heavily," he said. "I think Kansas State tends to attract Kansas students who want to enroll in their agriculture-related programs and stay in Kansas."
The University of Kansas Medical Center was one of two universities to report a decrease in enrollment with a total count of 2,409,23 less than the

1999 figure. Fort Hays State reported a decrease of 27 at 5,506.
Overall, KU reported that 25,920 students are enrolled, while Kansas State counted 20,603. Total enrollment at all nine Kansas Board of Regents universities rose 1,182, or 1.5 percent.

Meatless options available to students living in halls
By J.D. McKee
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Vegetarians who live on campus have many meatless alternatives available to them.
Nona Golledge, assistant director of dining services, said there were always several options every day for vegetarians in the dining halls.
"We always have at least one all-vegan choice," she said. "Other than that we have things with no meat available but with things like eggs in them."
Vegans don't believe in eating anything that comes from an animal.
Golledge said some of the alternatives were spaghetti with a meatless sauce, vegetarian soup and garden burgers. She said that dining service representatives often went to food shows to look for new ideas for vegetarian meals.
Emilie Hagen,
Golledge estimated that 10 to 15 percent of KU students were vegetarians.
"We're able to decide what kind of kitchen we want to be in and what kind of food we want to eat," she said.
The main purpose of the vegetarian meals was for them to be healthy, Hagen said.
"The most important thing is food quality, like organically grown vegetables and low-fat food," she said.
McPherson senior, lives in Miller Scholarship Hall and is a vegetarian. She said that there were seven kitchens designed for groups of seven people to use together. Each person takes a turn cooking dinner for the group.
Hagen said that although she was a vegetarian, not everyone in her cooking group was. Every meal prepared for the group, however, is made without meat.
Jennifer Wamelink, assistant director of student housing, said that in other scholarship halls, students were appointed to a food board.
"The most important thing is food quality, like organically grown vegetables and low-fat food. It's a way to eat healthier."
Emilie Hagen McPherson senior
Individuals with special needs, such as vegetarians, collaborated with their food board and house director to come up with food alternatives, she said.
Wamelink said the house directors went through a training session on meal preparation, including vegetarian meals.
She also said the number of options available for vegetarians depended on how many there were in the hall.

Perspective
Logic lends intelligence to opinions
throughout this semester you will have the opportunity to read many editorials
throughout this semester you will have the opportunity to read many editors on the Kansan's opinion page. Some you'll agree with; some you'll think are off target. After reading an editorial, less clever students might shoot off letters to the editor purporting to agree or disagree in highly emotional language that will often not convince anyone of the validity of their opinion.
you, however, know better than to submit worthless writings. Instead, you want your points to be lucid, forceful and well reasoned. Whether you are writing to agree or disagree, you'll need to use logic to strengthen your points and — equally important — to spot your opponent's faulty reasoning.
Imagine you're a Logic Sheriff. Your quest is to uphold truth, and you do this by identify-
migrations
cials, speeches, editorials
and everyday conversation. A good Logic Sheriff will recognize the following common fallacies:
P
Argumentum Ad Hominem: Instead of proving anything about the issue, the arguer attacks people related to the issue; thus making an "argument directed at the man."
"Evolution is a false idea. Only communists and atheists would believe it is true."
Scott Kaiser columnist opinionkanan.com
Argumentum Ad Ignorantiam: The arguer claims something must be true since it cannot be proven false, or false since it cannot be proven true.
"You can't prove that angels don't exist. Thus, angels exist."
Argumentum Ad Populum: The arguer attempts to win acceptance of an assertion by appealing to a large group of people.
"Millions of people believe in creationism.
Are you saving they are all idiots?"
Cum Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc: Because two events occur at the same time, the arguer wrongly assumes that one caused the other.
"The economy is healthy. Thus the President should be thanked for his efforts."
The Slippery Slope Argument: One event is claimed to be the cause of other harmful events. No proof is given that the first event causes the other harmful events.
"If we allow beer at football games, then we'll have to allow beer at the Jaybowl, and then more people will die as they stumble home from Fatso's."
Fallacy of the Undistributed Middle: A similarity between two things is claimed, but the similarity is not explained.
"Satanism is a type of religion. Christianity is a type of religion, so isn't Christianity a form of Satanism?"
Argumentum Ad Antiquitatem:
Tradition or old age make something right and good.
"That the way it's always been. It's tradition!"
Argumentum Ad Novitatem: Newness makes something better.
Two words; The Lazer.
Argumentum Ad Lazarum: One who is poor is more virtuous and thus more likely to be right. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
Argumentum Ad Nauseam: Keeping in mind how many times 93.3 FM and 95.7 FM play the same song, this is a situation where one hopes an idea is accepted merely because it is repeated over and over again — often until one is nauseated.
Bifurcation: Only two choices are given, when there are actually more than two choices. Why decide between the men's and ladies' room when you'd be perfectly content peeing on the wall — after all, its just Bullwinkle's.
Red Herring: A distracting argument that diverts attention away from the main issue.
Girlfriend: Why were you talking to that girl?
Boyfriend (who kissed girl last night): She's just a friend from class. I can't believe you don't trust me. If we don't have trust, how can we have a relationship?
Straw Man: A strategy where one misrepresents his opponent's argument in order to criticize it, the basis for most political campaigns.
Now that you have a list of common fallacies, you can uphold truth and protect yourself from believing bogus information. Mount up, Loatic Sheriffs!

Liberal reveals himself

The words "liberal" and "Democrat" can, in many circles, be dirty words. I feel it is my duty as a reader and as a citizen to explain why I cling to them.
Recent trends in politics threaten to erode our civil liberties, and the Democratic party is the loudest voice opposing them.
Background: I am opposed to capital punishment because I would rather have innocent people killed by criminals than by the government.
I believe women should be able to decide whether to have an abortion. If the government has the power to tell a woman she can't get an abortion, it also has the
power to tell her she must. China's government has that power, and I don't see many of us flocking to live there.
America's political system is built on the limitation of power because when the government has too much power, scary things can happen.
Main point: I vote for Democrats because I can't stand the moralistic overtones of the Republicans.
Many conservatives feel that the moral fabric of this country has gone to shreds. Republicans

know tins, so they give speeches claiming to act in the name of Jesus Christ and "traditional family values" — all for the sake of a few votes.
Wake up. If politicians are on their bully pulpelling people they should live their lives a certain way, those politicians are a step away from making people live their lives a certain way.
My friends say, "Oh, but they're just giving a campaign speech. They're not talking about making a law forcing those values on people."
In addition to limiting the power of the government, the Founders also designed our system to limit the power of overbearing majorities, no matter how "right" or "morally upstanding" they say they are. (Ironically, many Republicans aren't.)
Too bad. In America, you don't get to do that.
Political liberalism means, in the purest sense of the phrase, that people should be able to decide things for themselves. I am proud to be a liberal, and I'm willing to speak my voice to prove it.
In this country we have had it so good for so long that we forget how dangerous a powerful government can be. And a government that considers itself morally right is the most dangerous kind there is.
"Since when did the government get the authority to tell me what I can and can't do?" I said to a conservative woman in my political self-help circle.
The ultimate tragedy is that many conservatives don't realize the implications of what their politicians are doing.
"Oh, I know, it's just awful," she said.
I most certainly is.
Editorial
Expanding curriculum aids students
School of Architecture should expand program to graduate level.
The School of Architecture is considering changing its emphasis from an undergraduate program to a program that concentrates on its students obtaining graduate degrees. By doing so, the school will offer its students more diversity in the courses they pick and give them more direction in their academic careers. This is a good direction for the school to take because it will help students.
Audiehaim is a Des Moines senior in journalism.
The move to a graduate program does not cut undergraduates out of the system, although some argue otherwise. Instead of working four or five years toward a bachelor's degree then going on to graduate school, students would take the same core courses and take an extra year to complete a graduate degree.
In many cases, the graduate and undergraduate requirements are the same for core courses. By expanding the program to include a graduate degree, students will save time by not retaking the core curriculum. In addition to these courses, a student will have the freedom to study other areas outside of architecture.
Gaining exposure classes outside of architecture benefits the student both professionally and personally. The major benefit to a university education, as opposed to a professional college, is the diversity of courses. Students experience personal growth as they are exposed to more than just their chosen profession. All knowledge is useful either as inspiration or just to create a well-rounded person.
A diverse education also can offer greater opportunities to professional architects. In addition to the necessary architectural skills they find at the University, students can develop ancillary job skills that come from the study of foreign languages, psychology, communications or any other discipline.
There is a growing national trend for architectural schools to move to a stricty graduate program. The University of Kansas should join this trend to help its students in school and in their professional careers.

Conference to discuss obesity as a disease
By Melissa Davis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Kansas City was voted the second fattest city in the nation in a recent study, and one KU professor thinks he knows a contributing factor.
Joseph E. Donnellly, exercise physiologist at the University of Kansas, said he thought obesity was a disease.
Donnelly, who has been studying obesity for more than 20 years, thought many factors caused obesity, and said it was not based solely on a person's lack of will. Donnelly said genetics, metabolism, behavior and environment all played a role in obesity.
Some people think differently, however. Paul Sandburg, Paola senior and personal trainer, said he thought obesity was a way of thinking.
"I think obesity is a disorder, not a disease," Sandburg said. "I think that people use food to compensate for depression, or they lack desire to work out."
The University is offering its second annual conference on the treatment and prevention of obesity at 1 p.m. today and tomorrow at St. Luke's Hospital Spencer Center for Education, 44th and Wornall Road in Kansas City, Mo. Registration begins at 11 a.m.
No matter what the causation is, this dispute will be discussed this weekend.
The conference will include a debate on whether or not obesity is a disease, and will feature physicians from around the country who have researched obesity.

Sandburg said he thought obesity could also be because of a lack of

knowledge about proper nutrition and exercise.
"At least 85 percent of people who are fit work out incorrectly," he said. On top of that, Sandburg said he thought nutritional changes could also be a factor in obesity, especially in college students.
"When students get to college, they have more freedom and they think they can eat whatever," he said.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said there were risk factors involved in being obese, such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and arthritis.
Rock said he thought there were many factors that went into obesity, including inactivity and using fast food as a main food source. Rock said he thought people could prevent obesity by increasing exercise frequency and decreasing calorie intake.
If you BMI is between 20 and 22, this indicates the ideal, healthy amount of body fat, which is associated with living longest, and the lowest incidence of serious illness.
If your BMI is below 20, this indicates a lean BMI, which means you have a low amount of body fat.
If you BMI is between 22 and 25, this is still considered an acceptable range, and is associated with good health.
"We are a product of calories we consume and calories we burn off," he said.
If you BMI is between 25 and 30, you are considered "hefty" and should find ways to lower your weight through diet and exercise.
Donnelly thought that, in some cases, drugs were a good option for weight loss and needed to be made more affordable.
Sandburg said he thought weight loss could occur without drugs.

"Losing weight is possible without drugs, if you exercise and use proper nutrition," he said.
Sandburg suggested that overweight people check out their options rather than give up hope.
"Overweight people should go speak to a trainer or a nutritionist, someone who knows what they are talking about because people can transform." Sandburg said.
The conference will cost $20 for KU students, who will need to prove that they are currently enrolled by showing a class schedule.

Speaking the language creates problems for international students
Speaking the language
By Hiroshi Takehara
Special to the Kansan
Illustration by Kyle Ramsey
with ENGLISH
She was not a babv.
"That happened my first year at KU," Hoshino said. "After listening to my English, my friend said, 'You sound like a baby.' I know that she didn't intend to, but being called 'baby' really hurt my self-esteem."
Studying in a foreign country in a foreign language can be difficult because of the culture, food or distance from friends and family. For many international students, the difficulty is mostly in language. The barrier in communication comes from things as complex as brain function, as simple as as age and as diverse as cultural background.
Howard Pollock, language specialist at the Applied English Center, said international students' anxieties mostly came
from spoken communication. They often think their English isn't good enough to get their point across, Pollock said.
In Hoshino's first year at the University of Kansas, her troubles — both academic and social — came from her inability to communicate in English.
Hoshino said that four years ago she couldn't communicate well enough to greet American students.
"I was living in a dormitory, and I got a good RA," she said. "She always said, 'How are
you?' I could respond to it but I couldn't understand 'How is it going?' Then I just repeated, 'Pardon?' Our conversation stopped when she said 'Never mind."
Hoshino's efforts didn't lead to long conversations with her resident assistant. Hoshino simply began to avoid her. After that experience, Hoshino said she withdrew from conversations with English
versations with English speakers.
"Even now, I am not good at speaking English," she said.
Hoshino said that she felt self-conscious in English conversations and that people treated her as if she were a child. She is passive in classes.
"I have a question, but I don't know how to ask it," she said.
She said she felt uncomfortable going to class and ended up disliking her instructors.
Language mechanics
Hoshino's troubles in English, along with other international students, come from deep-seeded difficulties in pronunciation. She can't pronounce "oil" correctly
because Japanese doesn't have an "I" sound.
KU professors who teach English to such students and study word recognition said that it might help Hoshino if she actually did think like a baby.
Greg Simpson, professor of psychology, studies word recognition. He said pronunciation was one of the most difficult parts in learning a foreign language.
Simpson said the younger people were, the easier it was for them to learn a foreign language. Children and adults have different abilities in recognizing words, he said.
"Children's brains are very plastic," Simpson said. "When we are born, we are ready for any language."
Simpson said the brains of people who grew up in a single-language environment were tuned to only one language.
"After a brain loses its flexibility, it is difficult to acquire another sound system without influence of your original sound," he said.
Simpson said the brain was fully developed in recognizing languages at around 12 years old, and it was rare to be able to pronounce a foreign language with native-speaker fluency if it was not learned by age 12.
Pressure to perform
The difference between children and adults learning a foreign language goes beyond word recognition.
Simpson said adults had tremendous amounts of pressure to communicate.
Language specialist Pollock said adults were more serious about how they spoke than children because adults were expected to be competitive in college and business. He said such pressures made college students and business people rigid in learning and communicating in a foreign language. Children, on the other hand, face less pressure than students and business people.
Martha Harris, also a language specialist at the Applied English Center, agreed that the older a person gets, the harder it was to learn a foreign language. She said children were just trying to communicate while adults were more analytical. The English center offers all levels of English language classes to students and scholars from around the world.
When international students come to the University, they must score at least 590 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language or take the center's classes until they pass a proficiency test.
"Typically, adults are not happy just talking," Harris said. "They try to figure out what the rules are in English."
Some of the international students who come to the United States have good academic skills in grammar and reading, but when it comes to conversation, they don't perform well.
Cultural differences
Paul Leon Markham, associate profes sor of curriculum and instruction. teaches a graduate course titled Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.
He said many international students' skills in spoken English were weak. Although Arabic students are often orally fluent, Japanese and Taiwanese students usually aren't that fluent, he said.
"My biggest concern with most international students who are coming to this country is too much focus on grammar of the language and reading comprehension," Markham said.
Markham teaches prospective English teachers to understand their students' cultural backgrounds.
He said strong abilities in grammar and reading and weak abilities in speaking came from testing systems used in international students' home countries. Because a written testing system is required to measure students' academic levels, he said, they often don't have a motivation to speak.
In some Asian and Middle Eastern countries, speaking up in class — in any language — is a foreign concept, Markham said. In fact, he said, students are expected to participate and speak up more in classes in the United States than in any other country.
The need for confidence
Some students don't think they have the vocabulary to express themselves because they often are unable to say what they want.
"You have to be willing to allow yourself to make millions of mistakes," Markham said.
To help ease the anxieties and pressures of learning and speaking a foreign language, teachers need to work on giving confidence to their students, Pollock said.
In his class, Pollock's primary concern in not developing students' English skills but in giving them confidence.
"I try to find the opportunities to give them a little bit of hope. Let them try, try, try," Pollock said. "In a college-level class, a professor generally doesn't have to do that."
"I try to get people to talk so I can understand where their strengths and weaknesses are," Pollock said.
He also tries to make his students recognize how they relate to others. He said working with small groups and pairs of students was a good way to start learning a foreign language because of the lower pressure in those situations.
Hoshino said she had solved some of her English difficulty.
"I had an American roommate and practiced casual conversation with her," she said.
"The class was not a required class, but I wanted to practice English speaking more," she said.

"He's somebody that everyone likes to be around," Norwood said by phone from his office at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, where he is the men's golf coach. "He's got a great work ethic. You don't have to tell him what to do. He'll get out and do it."

Recruit brings fresh attitude to basketball
I caught up with Wayne Simien's summer-league coach yesterday afternoon.
Norwood has been Simien's summer-league coach since the senior forward was 12 years old. Simien's AAU team, the Kansas City 76ers, won the national title when he was a junior and placed sixth nationally this year. Other players on that team included Kansas high school players Jamar Howard and Jeff Hawkins, whom the Jayhawks have shown some interest in.
Just read what Lafayette Norwood, Simien's summer-league coach, had to say about the Kansas recruit.
If you have been living on an isolated planet or been sniffing glue for the past six months, Simien orally committed to play basketball at Kansas last spring. Simien, a 6-foot-8 and 245-pound senior forward at Leavenworth High School, remains the only known recruit to have committed to play for the Jayhawks next season.
So instead of focusing in on Alan Anderson and Erroll Knight — two high school players who were once interested in Kansas but decided to commit elsewhere — why not write about the guy who decided to come to Lawrence?
Norwood gave a lot of the credit for the 76ers' success to Simien, who averaged 16.9 points and 9.7 rebounds last year at Leavenworth.
Notchanson is an Overfed Park senior in journalism.
"He has such a personality." Norwood said. "He's very outgoing. He knows exactly what direction he wants to go."
That direction is toward Kansas, and Simien said he would sign his letter-of-intent when the fall signing period rolls around in November. And when Simien lands at Kansas, Norwood said that there was no doubt he would succeed.
"Personality-wise they are both the same," Norwood said, referring to Simien and Valentine. "But Darnell has already proven what he can do. Now it's up to Wayne to prove what he can do.
Norwood should know. He is a former basketball coach at Wichita Heights High School, and he once coached ex-Kansas guard Darnell Valentine.
"I'll probably be an extended parent," Norwood added. "He'll have to get the job done academically."
Of course, I'll write a column and tell you all about it.
While Simien's stock rose during the summer when he played in tournaments around the country — The Sporting News ranked him one of the top prospects in the nation — Norwood said that Simien would keep a level head about all his success.
"I have no doubt," Norwood said.
"His folks will be right with him to make sure he does those types of things. He's that type of kid."
I've talked to Simien once before and came away with pretty much the same conclusion. I called Simien at home for an interview last Easter, and he seemed like a good kid. After fielding all my questions, he finished our conversation by saying, "I hope you have a nice Easter."
Having spoken to several recruits in the past, let me tell you that was definitely a surprise to hear such a well-wishing sentiment. So, I'm wishing Simien all the best as he enters his senior year at Leavenworth, and I'll catch up with him sometime when the basketball season begins.
Two alleged attackers surrender
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce walked out of a hospital yesterday, three days after being stabbed nearly a dozen times, and said he was looking forward to returning to basketball.
A couple dozen onlookers cheered as Pierce, accompanied by his mother and two brothers, walked to a podium outside the New England Medical Center and greeted a gathering of reporters with an unbeat "Hi."
"I'd just like to tell everybody I feel good," said Pierce, who was wearing dark sunglasses over a swollen right eye and a black Celtics cap that nearly covered a bandage on his forehead. "I can't wait to get back on the basketball court and join my Celtics teammates."
Pierce thanked God, his family, the hospital staff and fans for what he called an unbelievable outpouring of support.
The Celtics begin training camp Monday, but Pierce did not indicate if he would be there. He said he hoped for a

guilty to charges or assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and were ordered held on $15,000 cash bail.
Prosecutors say Tony Hurston, 31, also known as Tony McCrary, initiated the fight with Pierce in a pool room at the club by coming up from behind him, punching him and hitting him on the head

with a knife.
Ragland, who also is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, remained at large yesterday.
Hurston's attorney, John Swomley, said Hurston was the victim of a mistaken identity by police. He concedes Hurston was at the club but says he left when the fight began. Hurston was working in New York when he learned late Tuesday of a warrant against him and returned to Boston to surrender, Swomley said. Hurston has no prior criminal record, he added.
"My client has never met Mr. Pierce, does not know Mr. Pierce and has no vendetta against Mr. Pierce," Swomley said.
All three of the men charged reportedly have ties to the rap group Made Men, whom Swomley also represents.
Watson was with Made Men member Raymond E. "Ray Dog" Scott when the
rapper was arrested and pepper-sprayed at the Braintree Mall by police who questioned the two men after a store employee reported that Scott had made large credit card purchases. The card turned out to be Scott's — and Scott filed charges against the police, who were later acquitted.
A judge denied the request by prosecutors to demand a $250,000 cash bail from Watson, who was out on supervised release after a July 1999 conviction for weapons possession.
Pierce, 22, had surgery to repair his damaged lung. Hospital officials said the other wounds were mostly superficial. Pierce was able to walk into the hospital's emergency room after being driven there by friends.
He left yesterday in a white stretch limo. The 6-foot-7, 220-pound Pierce averaged 19.5 points and ranked second in the NBA in steals with 2.08 a game. Pierce, an All-American at Kansas, was drafted in the first round in 1998 after his junior season.
Secondary leery of Oklahoma attack

Need clues?
This week's trivia question — what team currently has the best pass defense in the country?
It's amazing, yes, but after this Kansas football team finished last in the Big 12 Conference and No. 10 nationally in pass defense in 1999, the team heads to Oklahoma to try to maintain its top ranking against the Sooners at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
The Jayhawks have done well so far in their secondary. Cornerbacks Andrew Davison and Quincy Roe have pleased Kansas coach Terry Allen with their ability to guard receivers. Safety Carl Ne Smith, since returning from a one-game suspension that caused him to miss Kansas' opening-season loss to the Southern Methodist, has gathered 18 tackles in the last two games. The last three games, the Jayhawks have surrendered a Division I-best 84 yards passing per game on their way to a 2-1 record.
"We haven't faced a passing attack like the one we'll see on Saturday," Allen said. "But of what we've asked of our secondary."

they've performed very well and have been doing a good job in practice. Our cornerbacks have done a very good job."
All the positives from the last two wins,however,are set aside as Big 12 play begins. Allen has been slow to give the secondary acclaim until it faces a stronger team,such as Oklahoma

Even Davison, a confident junior, is the first to concede that Kansas has not seen anything this season that comes close to resembling Oklahoma's attack.
TELEVISION: Tape delay at 10 p.m. on channel 6
Kansas' success in defeating Alabama-Birmingham and Southern Illinois can offer little comparison to Oklahoma's possibilities.
UAB opted to run the ball, and the Salukis, a Division I-AA team, were lucky if they could accomplish anything.
"We're going to have to be ready," Davison said. "They're going to come out passing and we need to be prepared."
"Really, we should have shut them down," Nesmith said. "Now is the real test."
The answers might not come as easily this time for the Jayhawks, who are facing
an All-America candidate at quarterback and a bevy of firepower to back him. Oklahoma brings a 3-10 record and a No. 14 national ranking to the game.
What lies ahead for Kansas is a team that ranks third nationally in points per game (47.3) and fourth in total offense (491.3 yards per game).
Allen is focusing on a nickel package that will involve five defensive backs in the game on many plays. Allen also said he needed aggressive defensive line pursuit on Oklahoma quarterback Josh Heupel.
"We've been doing some different things scheme-wise, but you'll look a lot better in
the defensive secondary when the quarterback is on his back." Allen said. "The pressure we've put on the quarterback is instrumental in our success."
So much emphasis has been placed on Oklahoma's nature to throw the ball that Nesmith was asked if the Jayhawks would even be ready for the run. He said he did not think the exam Oklahoma would present to the 'Hawks would be multiple choice.

Volleyball to face tall challenge
By Sarah Warren
Kansan sportswriter
It'll be David versus Goliath in the Horejsi Family Athletic Center tomorrow, and 6-foot-2 Danielle Geromvno will be David.
When the match starts at 7 p.m., the senior middle blocker and her sophomore counterpart, Kyle Thomas, also 6-2, will find themselves face-to-neck with Texas Tech's Colleen Smith, a 6-7 senior middle blocker.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said Smith had averaged 5.06 kills per game.
The Red Raiders are 14-1, 3-1 in the Big 12 Conference, with their only loss coming to Baylor, the team that downed Kansas in five games Wednesday night.
"They're 14-1 and she's had a lot to do with that." be said.
Geronymy said she wasn't worried about Smith's height or stats, although she had never battled someone of that size while playing the middle blocker position.
"I've never faced anyone that tall and it'll be a challenge," Geronymo said. "Height matters, but when it comes to the game I
"Height matters, but when it comes to the game I don't worry about height or how strong a player is. I'm just worrying about what Coach is saying."
Danielle Geronymo senior middle blocker
Smith isn't the only reason that Texas Tech is hovering atop the Big 12 stands. While the senior had a team-high 26 kills Wednesday night when Texas Tech beat Missouri in five games, sophomore outside hitter Melissa McGehee recorded 24 kills herself.
don't worry about height or how strong a player is, I'm just worrying about what Coach is saying."
But the Red Raiders' skills in throwing off their opponent's play-making ability that may be their biggest threat, and they do it with their dominant serving style.
"They serve extremely aggressively,"
And the last time Kansas saw a team with such a threatening serving style, they were looking across the net at the best team in the country. Nebraska. Kansas fell to the No. 1-ranked "Huskers in three games.
"You have to be really focused and quick on your feet," Geronym said about defending a hard serve. "You just have to get the setter a nice ball."
Bechard said. "They make some errors but they'll wreak havoc on you if you don't pass the ball well."
"Tech has a good opportunity to break into the poll next week after beating Missouri in five games and then if they beat us," Bechard said. "But maybe we can keep that from happening."
This is the difficult part, as Kansas showed when they faced Nebraska, limiting setter Molly LaMere to 36 assists when the junior averages 39 assists per three-game match. Although LaMere is only three sets sub-par, to Bechard those are three kills that could make a difference if needed anytime, especially against an aggressive team such as Texas Tech.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Sept. 29). Learn to manage money this year, and you could do quite well. Your intuition should be good, so follow it to wealth. Contact a friend who's far away in October. The advice you get may be old-fashioned, but it should also work. Planning is the key to your success in November. Do the research to get the facts in December. The old ways work best in February, and an old love serves you well. Review a lesson you learned in the past in June and rediscover a treasure you'd forget about. A wise woman can help you get rich in July, and a stern critic pushes you to perfection next September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a A
Arles (March 21- April 19) — today is a 4.
If you want to make money, leave it where it is.
Don't spend large sums unless you get an awesome interest rate. Be careful about borrowing. Some tricky stuff could be buried in the fine print.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Somebody may ask you to give back what you got, but you don't need to do that. Before you return anything that you came by fair and square, ask for a second opinion. An impartial arbitrator is likely to rule in your favor.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
Something that was easy just got harder. Could it be you spent too much time playing earlier this week, and now you have to scramble to catch up? Don't waste time talking. That could get you into worse trouble.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8.
You look cute. You're attracting the attention of a gorgeous hunk or princess. Your intuition should be excellent concerning romance, so full speed ahead! Ignore something about your home that's not the way you want it. You can fix it later.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
July 25-28, 2023
You should be in the most difficult part of the project. You may even feel as though there's no light at the end of the tunnel. That's not true. There's always light at the end, or it wouldn't be a tunnel. Relax. You're doing fine
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — today is an 8.
Your ability to focus attention should be awesome. You should study easier ways to make money because that's an important part of your life right now. The opportunities are all around you. Figure out a way to make them take less time and be less work, and your fortune is assured.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7. · Is somebody out to get your money? That may be how it feels if you're going through more of it than you realized. Count it to make sure you have as much as you thought. Then, say no to a request that you don't need to grant.
You're strong, decisive and eloquent. You know what you want, and you'll be able to talk others into giving it to you. Your ability to work a deal has never been better. Don't waste a moment. Go after all that stuff on your list.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Simonus (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a b.
You're a good communicator and you always tell the truth. You don't always have to tell it, however. Today your wisest plan is to keep your mouth shut. Don't pass along something you hear in private. Wait to see what develops.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
You and your buddies can have an excellent time.
Paint the town, but don't get too wild and reckless.
Have lots of fun and maybe even fall in love. Make sure you get home safely, though, with a little preplay planning.
9
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
You may have to take orders instead of handing them out. If this is a program you signed up for, don't complain. It'll just take a little getting used to. You're still lucky in love, so talk over any upsets with a loved one. Be flexible.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8.
Don't take off on your adventure yet. A couple of loose ends need to be tied up first. If you leave now, just know you'll have to take care of those details while you're gone.

Iowa will be the only similarity from regionalists. Kansas returns just one rower from last year's first varsity eight boat, senior rower Heather Muir.
The race distance will also be different. Regionals were sprint races, 2,000 meter or roughly 1.25 mile races. Tomorrow's head race will be a three-mile course through bends and under bridges.
Kansas coach Rob Catloth said he would like his team to place high at Des Moines, but will be using the regatta as a barometer for the rest of the season.
"We're mixing up boats." Catloth said. "We've had a lot of different lineups."

U.S. loses to Russia, will play for bronze
SYDNEY, Australia — The improbable gold-medal charge for the U.S.
volleyball team has come to a screeching halt.
Led by the 6-foot-4 Elena Godina and 6-foot-3 Liobov Chachkova, Russia defeated the Americans 25-15, 23-25, 25-15, 26-28, 15-8 to advance to the gold-medal match against two-time defending champion Cuba.
After staging a thrilling comeback to win the fourth game, the U.S. team ran out of steam in the fifth. The Americans led 6-5, but the Russians and their unyielding block took control.

Nemesis Norway beats U.S. World Cup champs
SYDNEY, Australia — The magic of the Rose Bowl was not to be found at the Sydney Football Stadium for the U.S. women's soccer team.
Longtime nemesis Norway beat America's defending World Cup champions 3-2 in overtime for an Olympic gold medal yesterday when substitute Dagny Mellgren scored in the 12th minute of sudden death.
hit Melligron's shoulder and landed at her feet before she pushed it to the left of goalkeeper Siri Mullinix from 7 yards.
Norway nearly had it won in regulation, but Tiffeny Milbrett's second goal with seconds left in second-half injury time tied the game. Ragnhil Gulbrandsen had given the Norwegians a 2-1 lead in the 78th minute.
She took a deflection off defender Joy Fawcett's head as they played a long ball from Hege Riise. The ball
With the victory, Norway adds the 2000 Olympic title to its 1995 World Cup championship. The United States can claim the 1991 and 1999 World Cup, as well as the gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Games.
Jones wins 200 meters; laraest edae since 1960
SYDNEY, Australia — Marion Jones won the women's Olympic 200 meters by the biggest margin since 1960, in probably the most one-sided sprint sweep in Olympic history.
Her margin of victory in the 200 was 0.43 seconds, the biggest since Wilma Rudolph won by 0.45 seconds at the 1960 Tokyo Games. Last Saturday, her victory margin in the 100 of 0.43 seconds was the second-largest ever in that Olympic event, by a man or woman.
But after the race she had to answer a question that would have aggravated just about any other athlete under similar circumstances:
Was she worried that people would suspect she used performance-enhancing drugs?
"No." she said with her customary calmness and no trace of anger. "I don't have that fear, because the people who know me, coach me, train me, know I'm a clean athlete."
SCORPIO
Jones refuses to allow her husband's problems to detract from her quest to become the second Olympian, and first in 76 years, to win five gold medals in track and field.
Her 200-meter triumph came just two days after her husband, shot putter C.J. Hunter, tearfully tried to explain why he had tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone.

e. month. "The thing is, I think we can play so much better."
Warner has thrown for 1,557 yards. Not only is it
a record four-game opening sequence, it's 160 yards better than second-placed Drew Bledsoe of New England in 1994.
If this keeps up, Warner will finish with more than 6,300 yards. The NFL record is 5,048 by Dan Marino of the Dolphins in 1984.
After passing for 441,386,394 and 336 yards,he's only the third player in league history to top 300 yards four times in a row twice in his career.And it's only his second year as a starter.
He leads the league in completion percentage (70.4) and average gain (11.53 yards). He is second in the NFL in passer rating (111.9) and has thrown 10 touchdown passes.
Coach Mike Martz blames faulty play calling for most of Warner's seven interceptions. He said Warner didn't really miss a throw until the third week.

Kansas softball to challenge juco, Division II programs
By Michael Sudhalter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Softball is back in swing as the Jayhawks prepare for their fall exhibition season with a scrimmage and a tournament this weekend at Jayhawk Field.
Coach Tracy Bunge's team will take on Division II and community college squads. The games will not count in the standings. Bunge said she felt as though it was the playing experience rather than the opposition that was important.
"Our approach won't change in who we play," Bunge said. "We are more worried about what we are doing."
The team's lone senior, right fielder Erin Garvey, said she was looking forward to the intercollegiate competition.
"It will be nice to see live pitchers and not just the machine," Garvey said. "The games should help the team's cohesiveness."
The Jayhawks will ease into the exhibition season today at 3 p.m. with a 15-inning scrimmage against Pittsburg State. The scrimmage will be free of strict

substitution rules and can be interrupted at anytime by the coach of either team. Bunge is hoping the scrimmage will help Kansas' six new members.
"The scrimmage will show us different possibilities and help us work new people in," Bunge said.
The standard seven-inning exhibition games will begin tomorrow at 2 p.m. when the Washburn Lady Blues take on the Jayhawks.
Washburn, which tied for the MIAA title with Truman State last season, is coached by Kansas graduate Kim Newborn. This year's Washburn squad is highlighted by a couple of pitches, Amy Helman and Holly Reichel.
Following the Washburn contest, the 'Hawks will take on Dodge City Community College.
Then the Jayhawks then take on junior college powerhouse Johnson County Community College Sunday. The Cavaliers went 54-15 last season and qualified for the National Junior College Athletic Association Tournament in Orlando, Fla.
Johnson County features sophomore Kristen Doffing, a Wichita native who broke the school record for batting average (.578). hits (129), and runs (79) last season. Kansas will play a second game on Sunday against either Washburn or Dodge City.
The Jayhawks will face a variety of opposition, but said they would like to play at their best regardless of the opponent.
"The intensity should be the same no matter who we are playing," said Amy Hulse, junior second baseman. "No game should be taken lightly."
Last year's Kansas squad finished 30-32 and lacked hitting power at times.
"We would like to work on our offense," Bunge said. "That's something we struggled with last year."

Sooners collect impressive stats
Bv Allan Davis
by Alan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Although Oklahoma's weak non conference schedule vaguely resembles Kansas State's, the Sooners, next on the Jayhawk schedule. still have amassed some impressive numbers.
Oklahoma has defeated Texas El Paso 55-14, Arkansas State 45-7 and Rice 42-14. And while none of these teams would be mistaken for a big-name program, the Sooners still have breezed through the non-conference part of their schedule.
They rank No. 3 in the nation in scoring, averaging 47.3 points per game. And Oklahoma is No. 4 in total offense, gaining a whopping 491.3 yards per game.
The Sooners are also No. 11 in
fewest points allowed, yielding only 11.7 a game.
Saturday is the first week of Big 12 Conference play, and it's also the first time all Big 12 teams start conference play on the same day.
Kansas will play No. 14 Oklahoma in Norman, Okla.
Kickoff is at 2:08 p.m.
While the Jayhawks are aiming for their
Q
first road win this season, the Sooners (3-0) have their eyes on the Big 12 championship.
So will tomorrow's Kansas-Oklahoma football game signal a return for Oklahoma to the glory days of Bud Wilkinson, Chuck Fairbanks and Barry Switzer? Or will the Jayhawks bring the Sooners
back to reality by upsetting them?
Left-handed senior quarterback Josh Heupel leads the Sooner offense. Heupel, hyped for All-America honors, is expected to offer a strong challenge to the Jayhawk pass defense, which, remarkably, ranks No. 1 in the country with only 84 yards allowed per game.
The Jayhawk pass rushers are expected to try to put pressure on Heupel, causing the Sooner to throw his passes sooner and, possibly, inaccurately.
Sophomore Quentin Griffin, 5-foot9 and 213 pounds, is the starting running back, but freshman running back Renaldo Works, 5-11 and 208 pounds, leads the Sooners in rushing touchdowns even though he comes off the bench.
The Sooner defense is led by junior Rocky Calmus, a 6-3, 24ound linebacker who is also being touted by the Oklahoma sports information department as an All-America candidate. Calmus and fellow linebacker Torrance Marshall, a 6-2, 247 pound senior, are candidates for the Dick Butkus Award, given to the top linebacker in the nation.
Oklahoma leads the all-time series 67-27-2, and tomorrow will be the first meeting between the two teams since 1997. The Jayhawks have won the last three and won at Norman in 1995 and 1996.
The game is sold out, and this is the second consecutive season all Sooner home games have been sold out. Oklahoma's Memorial Stadium capacity is 74,794 people, roughly twice as many as have been at each of Kansas' games this season.

K-State to face toughest opponent yet
By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Wildcat quarterback Jonathan Beasley, much maligned last year, is second in the nation in pass efficiency. K-State wide receiver Quincy Morgan's average of five receptions per game is fourth in the Big 12 Conference. The K-State defense has 16 total sacks in its four games this season.
Colorado, despite being 0-3, is probably better than any team the Wildcats (4-0) have faced this season. The Buffaloes did not play last Saturday and have had plenty of time to prepare for K-State. Freshman running back Marcus Houston's total of 332 yards leads the Buffaloes in rushing. Houston's average of 110.7 yards per game is 20th in the nation. Colorado junior Bobby Pesavento is expected to start at quarterback again.
Oklahoma State at No. 13 Texas
the Longhorns (2-1) have won the last two games against the Cowboys (2-1) and seven of the last eight. Texas has converted 11 of 12 times in the red zone this season, scoring 10 touchdowns and one field goal.
They ran out the clock in the fourth quarter the time they didn't score. Texas' Major Applewhite and Chris Simms are still splitting time at quarterback. The Cowboys are 21st in the nation in total offense, averaging 369 yards per game.
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
Junior running back Reggie White is 11th in rushing yards per game, averaging 127.3 yards.
Oklahoma State lost to No. 21 Southern Mississippi 28-6 last Saturday despite holding the Golden Eagles to minus seven yards rushing and collecting six sacks. Texas held the University of Houston to 13 yards rushing last week, winning 48-0. The Longhorns had nine sacks.
Texas Tech at Texas A&M
Texas Tech quarterback Kliff Kingsbury is 10th in the nation and second in the Big 12 in total offense, averaging 276.8 yards per game. However, he isn't near the top in passing efficiency. Texas Tech (4-0) has four receivers in the Big 12 top 10 in number of receptions per game. Red Raider Ricky Williams is fifth in conference receptions per game and 11th in rushing yards, having gained 230 yards on 60 rushes.
Texas A&M (2-1) relies on freshman quarterback Mark Farris to make their offense go. Farris, who played pro baseball for the Pittsburgh Pirates, has completed 48 of his 78 pass attempts, gaining 615 yards. Neither the Red Raiders nor the Aggies played last Saturday, so both have had two weeks to prepare for each other.
Cornhusker quarterback Eric Crouch is making a strong case for All-Big 12 recognition, throwing five touchdown passes last week against Iowa on only 10 completions. Nebraska leads the nation in rushing, averaging 370 yards per game. Running backs Dan Alexander and Correll Buckhalter, along with Crouch, have been giving opponents fits.
Missouri at No. 1 Nebraska
Missouri is fifth in the Big 12, 35th nationally, in rushing defense, allowing 114.7 yards per game. That defense will severely tested by the Cornhuskers. Despite having last week off and extra time to prepare for Nebraska, the Tigers (1-2) might have a tough time handling the undefeated Cornhuskers. Missouri has already lost to two ranked teams this season: No. 7 Clemson 62-9 and No. 18 Michigan State 13-10.
Iowa State at Baylor
Baylor quarterback Guy Tomchek, making his first start last week, was 20 of 28 passing, amassing 223 yards and three passing touchdowns. The Bears' wide receiver Reggie Newhouse's 86 receiving yards per game is third in the Big 12.
Iowa State running back Ennis Haywood, a junior, is third in the Big 12 in rushing, averaging 124.7 yards per game. Cyclone quarterback Sage Rosenefels, third in the Big 12 in total offense with 262.7 yards per game, can be expected to test the Bears' secondary.

The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Geena Davis is wearing a Teddie outfit.
A black leather, zip-front skirt is unzipped just enough to emphasize the length of her long legs, encased in black fishnet tights and spike-heeled boots. Her skimpy cream sweater reveals the whole length of her long arms. Gold hoop earrings glisten against the waves of her russet hair.
The glamorous actress, known for her eye-catching style, is dressed in clothing suited for Teddie Cochran. That's the character she plays on The Geena Davis Show, her new ABC sitcom, which will air Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 8:30 p.m.
Although the series bears her name, and she's one of the executive producers, the sitcom was not conceived with Davis in mind.
No, not that sort of teddy
Off-camera, Davis insisted she was happy in simple workout clothes. But, even when acting goofy, Teddie is strictly high-style, dressed to the nines.
"The thing about Teddie is that she tries to keep all the balls in the air all the time," Davis said, explaining the many sides of the life of Cochran, a glamorous New York career woman who falls into a passionate love affair with a man (Peter Horton) who lives in the suburbs with his two kids. Moving in with him makes Cochran's life complicated. But that's the point.
Clearly, this is not a woman to be overlooked.
Davis said she looked for as much complication as possible in a role, and that this one is so complicated that she really could picture playing it for a number of years.
Creator and executive producer Terri Minsky couldn't imagine that a well-established movie star would want to do series television. But, of course, she's delighted that Davis responded with enthusiasm.
"The thing about Geena which is so great is that she's totally unafraid to make herself look silly and goofy." Minsky said.
"Life is all about prioritizing and compromising, but the humorous thing about Teddie is she doesn't want that," Davis said. "She's always forced to by the end, but she thinks, I'm Wonder Woman. I can do everything. Watch me do it."

Soccer to play Big 12 foes
Section B • Page 5
By Yoshitaka Ebisawa sports@kansan.com Kansan.sportwriter
When the Kansas women's soccer team is finally allowed to play on its home field this weekend, another challenge — tougher than away-game disadvantages — will confront the Jebawks
Nebraska, this weekend's opponent, is the No. 3 team in the NSCA4 national poll with a perfect 10-0 record this season. Kansas (5-5, 1-1 in Big 12) will face the Cornhuskers at 1 p.m. Sunday at SuperTarget Field in Lawrence.
Another challenge is today's game against Iowa State, which starts at 4 p.m.
Coach Mark Francis said Kansas could defeat Iowa State and that the 'Hawks would take one game at a time.
"Nebraska is going to be a tough game, of course," he said. "I don't think we are expected to
win that game. But you never know in this game, soccer."
Senior defender Kylie Watts, who played against the Cornhuskers in the three previous seasons, said that Nebraska was a tough team every year.
"I don't think we should go in thinking that we can win the game," she said. "As long as you don't feel intimidated, then I should we do really well."
"They've got a lot of talent," she said. "We're going to have to put up tough fight."
Sophomore defender Brianna Valento, who scored the game winner against Oklahoma State Sunday, said that the victory over the Cowgirls would allow Kansas to enter this weekend with more confidence — especially against Nebraska.
Nebraska has scored an astonishing 51 goals in 10 games this season, while giving up only three goals. The Cornhuskers destroyed Kansas 8-1 last year in Lincoln, Neb., and leads the all-

time record 5-0 against Kansas.
Iowa State has lost its three previous games. But the Cyclones (4-4-1, 0-1 in Big 12) boast a solid defense that has given up only 11 goals this season. Iowa State defeated Kansas 2-0 last year in Ames, Iowa.
"It is going to be a tough weekend," Francis said. "I am glad we are playing at home."
Today's game will be the Jayhawks' first this season on their home field. The SuperTarget Field, located at 19th Street and Nalsmith Drive, has had new grass planted and is now ready for competition.

Cross country teams back in action
Kansas men's and women's cross country teams will venture into Cowboy territory tomorrow morning at the Oklahoma State University Jamboree in Stillwater, Okla.
About 40 teams are in the Jamboree field, headlined by Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Baylor, Tulsa, and Wichita State.
While the Jayhawks have already competed in two meets this season, assistant coach Doug Clark said that this weekend's meet would be a true indicator of how far the teams had progressed.
"This week will be much more of a
By Ryan Malashock
test for our teams," he said. "When you have eight or nine teams in a meet, it's tough to see how much we've improved, with so many teams in this meet we're going to see just how good we are."
Clark said that a key for Kansas this week would be the time off they have had going into the meet. The teams' last competition was two weeks ago at the Iowa State Open, and Clark said he thought that a two-week stretch between meets gave the runners enough time to train and recover.

Kansas sportswriter
"With a week in between meets, we really only get about three days to work hard for the next meet." Clark said. "Whereas with two weeks in-between, we can get up to 11 to 12 hard days in. It makes a big difference."
Both the men's and women's teams will be at full strength for tomorrow's meet. Senior Charlie Gruber returns to action this weekend and should help the Jayhawks' score immensely. Gruber sat out Kansas' first two meets to rest his body after a tough summer of competition.
"I'm ready to get back in there and help my team," he said. "There's a real different feeling around our team this year, and everyone is trying to get better. Coach [Stanley] Redwine and Coach Clark have done a great job getting us ready."

Clark said that he was most happy about the chemistry and team effort that both teams had shown early this season and found those factors to be keys to success.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As teammates and buddies, Reggie Tongue and Tony Gonzalez used to wonder who would come out on top in a real game.
In Monday night's Seattle-Kansas City game, they and a national television audience will find out.
His daunting assignment: stop Gonzalez, the Chiefs' Pro Bowl tight end who sometimes seems almost unstoppable.
Tongue will make his first appearance at Arrowhead Stadium since getting his feelings hurt and leaving the Chiefs to become the Seahawks' strong safety.
"It's going to be fun going against my old pal," said Gonzalez, who caught 10 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown last week at Denver. "Reggie's a good player. Very athletic. Very strong. It's going to be a good match up. We used to have some battles in practice."
In a clash between a couple of youth-oriented AFC West rivals with 2-2 records, Tongue-Gonzalez is undoubtedly the most intriguing
"Reggie can cover tight ends," said Seattle coach Mike Holmgren. "He's covering one of the premier tight ends this week."
Tongue was the Chiefs' starting strong safety from 1997 to 1999, and a member of their outstanding draft class of 1996. But when contract time arrived last year, the Chiefs opted to invest most of their money in free safety Jerome Woods, drafted just ahead of Tongue.
That cleared the way for Tongue to take an offer from Seattle, which had the added benefit of being closer to home.
"I was a little disappointed I wasn't high on the list," he said. "But that's just more reason for me to prove them wrong. Things happen the way they're supposed to happen. I miss my friends. But other than that, I'm glad I made this decision."
individual matchup.
Nevertheless, he can hardly contain his excitement at coming back.
"It is the biggest game of my career to date," Tongue said. "I've never been in a situation like this. It's something new to me. My life is
full of changes and full of challenges, and I'm living a dream. I'll have to keep my cool. I can't get too excited."
He doesn't want to suffer the same fate as other former Chiefs who have come into Arrowhead hoping to make a point.
In a sideshow to Kansas City's first Monday night home game in almost two years, owner Lamar Hunt will use Kauffman Stadium to try to break the NFL record for onsite attendance.
Arrowhead, which has led the NFL in attendance the past five years, is a sellout. So the Chiefs are making about 12,500 tickets available at $10 apiece in Kauffman, the baseball facility they share with the Royals in the Truman Sports Complex.
For a $10 ticket and a $15 parking fee, fans can sit in Kauffman and watch a simulcast of the game on the giant video board. If about 12,400 do, they could break the "on site" attendance record of 98,833 set by the Los Angeles Rams in 1958.
Because all fans will not even be in the same stadium, the league has said the record would have an asterisk.
